My husband and I visited Willow Hill in the summer of 2007 when we bought our Avon terrier. It was clean, orderly, and well-managed. Our dog is fabulous, as were the Grabmeiers. I'm sorry that it fell into bad hands, but our experience was a really good one.

What a fun message board! Hoping that you would wish the Grabmeiers well-they did close the breeding kennel. My husband and I purchased breeding stock Avon Terriers and have been continuing to breed a couple litters a year for the last 5 yr. Please consider checking out the website avonterriers.net

I just received a phone message this morning from the Golden Valley Human Society. Looks like our Cloe is being surrended there today, Sunday 10/6/2013,. I am now in Alaska and cannot take her back. If you are looking to adopt an Avon Terrier, please go to the GVHS.
07/15/13 at 15:57
My mom went to Willow Hill for a cairn which she took-she couldn't bear to leave him in such a dump. He's a sweet, nervous dog with back and hip issues. We smelled the "kennel" before we saw it. It's a total puppy mill. Dogs lined up in little raised wire pens covered in filth, noisy, and dark.

Our Avon, Lily, 2 years old, is such a special girl. Very smart, full of energy and so loving! I would recommend the Avon to anyone looking for a dog for a family. Azariah Acres (Cindy and Kelvin) are the breeders of Avons. Great people and great dogs!

Our Avon - We have a 9 year old Avon named Dustin that we purchased at Willow Hill from Richard. I have not quite seen a dog with a temperment as unique as the Avon. Equal parts Play and Serenity. He skateboards with us and cuddles equally. Hope others have a chance to experience the Avon.

I have two Avon Terriers. Jeter will be five in August and Bernie 5 in February. I also have a cairn I adopted as my foster from Colonel Potter Cairn Rescue. I adore them all. I have to say I wish that Mr. Grabmeier would consider not breeding anymore and possibly focus on boarding.

I am searching out the breeder of a wonderful one year old Avon Terrier blacks from St Paul (I saw him yesterday walking down Grand Avenue)---his name is Fergus and I would like a dog just like him. Can you help me? I am wondering if the breeder was from Clara City MN. My phone number is 651-227-14

I just SAW the dog of my dreams. An Avon terrier walking down Grand Ave in St PaUL. ONE YEAR OLD HE WAS LAID BACK, INTELLIGENT , HAD THE GAIT OF A WESTIE WITH THE SHINY BLACK COAT OF A SCOTTIE. DO YOU HAVE A PUPPY FROM HIS LITTER? 612-227-1449
06/23/09 at 09:33
In response to an entry by Richard G. I would like to say that have adopted four dogs a retired Avon named Madeline, two Cairns and an Irish pup named Riley. Andrea was a caring loving and honest breeder who loved all of the dogs and did not destroy the kennel!She did her best to maintain the Avons
05/06/09 at 15:07
I bought an Avon terrier in 2002 from Willow Hill. She is smart, sensitive, one of the most playful and loving dogs I've ever owned. We love her so much. Her only downside, is that she really does shed. For this one reason, next time I would probably look at another breed.
04/18/09 at 11:37
Hi, I have an Avon I got at Willow Hills 4yrs ago. His name is Skipper and hes just the BEST dog ever! He trained very easily and is very well behaved. I never had a dog b4 and can't imagine my life now without Skipper:)

Hi Folks, Mary Kay and I originated the Avon Terrier. Unfortunatey, we sold the kennel to my daughter who proceeded to destroy it and the base of the Avon Terrier. We are now renovating the kennel and are considering rebuilding the Avon Terrier line. Wish us luck. Rich G.

My Sophie came from a family in Clara City Minnesota. Greatest dog that has ever allowed us into her life. This little Avon has a personality like no other. Shares her love equally with all of us. Loves the snow up here in Duluth.
Andrea at Willow Hill
03/27/08 at 12:50
I have watched this sight for years. Thank you all for your insight, good and bad. I have decided to take all of my dog knowledge and apply it to caring for your dogs. We have renovated the kennel to make a great place for our visitors.

Hello, I have 4 jack russell terriers, I am having awful troubles with one of them and I have been searching the internet to try and seek some help, could you give me any information or direct me to a site where I could? Thank you, Dianna

I have a black avon named Bella who is the light of my life. She is the sweetest, most loving dog I have ever had. We love her so much that my dad is going to buy another Avon for my mom for mother's day.
03/23/07 at 23:17
We have two Avons, they're sisters, from Willow Hill and we are very happy with our four legged fuzzies. They are very funny, affectionate, smart, fast and playful! There's going to be an Avon Terrier Grand Reunion in June in Grand Marais -- watch for more details!

You have a wonderful site and I enjoyed my visit here. It's great to see someone who loves their animals so much! I think others would like your site also and encourage you to join The Site Fights (www.thesitefights.com). I think you and your site would do well in our family friendly environment.

Great dogs. I'm impressed. We have an 8mo. old female Scottish Terrier. Our family wants to add a sister or possibly a brother to our cats and dog household. Thanks for the comments, it has been helpful for us as we contemplate the Avon Terrier for adoption. They seem like great little dogs.
08/05/06 at 02:36
Hi, my Wife, Son and I are lucky enough to be sharing our lives with a brindle Avon named "Roxanne Molly" but answers to the shorter "Roxy". She is full of spunk and loves to play. I can hardly imagine a better family pet, though she sometimes steals, but doesn't destroy, socks and stuffed animals.

We have a black Avon from Willow Hill named Kirby that has been with our family for about a year. He is so gentle, doesn't yip or yap and is very affectionate but PLAYFUL! High energy, and he needs his walks or he becomes naughty. He was a fast learner and we LOVE him.
01/22/06 at 19:01
Hi, What a neat site. I have a 6 month old Avon and named her Maggie. I got her from Willow hill.I love her dearly. She has a lot of energy but also sits on my lap and snuggles. She loves to ride in the car and has never been car sick.
12/15/05 at 11:53
I have 8 month old Georgia (an Avon brindle) from Willow Hill and she is just so much fun and the most affectionate dog. I can't imagine my life without her. I would get another one in a heartbeat. Andrea and her fmaily at Willow Hill are great!
11/14/05 at 22:44
What type of crate should I get my future Avon pup? I am getting one very soon and I am so excited! There are wire ones and portable plastic ones--which one is best for training? Do I get the small size? I just want to do everything right. Any good websites or books you can suggest? Thanks!
11/06/05 at 20:50
I am thinking of getting an Avon from Willow Hill or possibly a Cairn from another source. Anybody have an opinion as to why one would be better than another. Secondly, any opinion on whether males or females are more affectionate? Thank you very much for any insights.
10/21/05 at 10:53
We got our Cloe end of Aug 2005 at 9 w.o. and 2 lbs 06 oz. She is now 4 months old and 5 lb 04 oz. She loves our cat Smokey who knows to get away when she chews his ears too much... I'd love to meet other Avon in the Burnsville area.
Misty & Torii's mom from Lkvl
08/09/05 at 19:16
2 yr old, Misty, welcomes little bro, Torii (10 wks). We really wanted a 2nd Avon after owning many breeds of dog. He's smart, loving, playful, almost potty trained, adaptable, etc... We look forward to many happy years with both of them.
Misty's mom from Lakeville
07/27/05 at 14:43
We are picking up a 2nd Avon Friday. Andrea has taken over for her folks. Very professional, knows dog care. Sent email pictures. Her kids socialize with the pups. Avon's are a great family pet.

I'd be interested in joining the MSN group on Avon Terriers, but for some reason, my computer won't show your e-mail address or reply to it. Would you send me an e-mail? Or post your e-mail address in the text of another message on this board?

Would anyone be interested in starting a MSN group on Avon Terriers? I tried once and it went no where. Please respond to me directly at my email address not this website. Thank you.

I'm so THRILLED to have stumbled on this website!!! I never thought I'd EVER find someone else who loves and is owned by an Avon Terrier!!! My husband named our puppy by exclaiming,"Hey- he feels - and looks - like a Brillo pad!" I'd love to hear from other Avon lovers!

AURORA — Jeremiah Paige shook off a cold start to finish with 28 points, leading Rangeview to a 65-57 win over Aurora Central on Thursday at the Aurora Tipoff at Gateway High School.
The senior guard, who scored just one point in the first 12 minutes of the game, rattled off 14 of his team's 21 points in the fourth quarter to help put away the Trojans.
"There was a little rust, I'm not going to lie," Paige said of the team's first game in two weeks because of the holiday break. "But I'm glad I got through it."
His tenacious defense resulted in six steals and three blocks for the Raiders, two of which ended with Paige finishing with thunderous fast-break dunks.
"We did a good job on him (Paige) for three quarters, but then he got loose on transition," Aurora Central coach Ian Calvert said. "And when he gets loose on transition, the rest of his game comes."
Junior Thaleel Khabir led the Trojans with 20 points, while sophomore LaDarius Thomas added 18.
Central capitalized on a big rebounding edge early to jump to an eight-point lead after one quarter.
"Playing with effort, enthusiasm and energy. I think we did that," Calvert said.
Rangeview stormed back in the second quarter to tie it at halftime, though there were plenty of bad turnovers for both teams.
"We're a little sloppy, didn't shoot the ball real well. We struggled from the line a little bit," Rangeview coach Shawn Palmer said.
Palmer said his team has been struggling with its defense all season, but positive strides are being made.
"Tonight we did a little better job," Palmer said. "Hopefully it's just taking some steps with our younger guys and learning what they need to do. Their effort's there, their attitude is good, so I think we're just going to keep getting better."
Rangeview improved to 6-2 on the year and will next face Gateway at 6 p.m. Friday. Central's record fell to 3-6 and the Trojans will play Hinkley at 4 p.m. Friday. Both games will take place at Gateway.
Rangeview 8 19 17 21 — 65
Aurora Central 16 11 15 15 — 57

2. Chris BrownBreezy just can't stay away from the law! In January he fought with Frank Ocean over a parking space outside of a L.A. recording studio. It was a he said/he said situation, with both sides claiming the other swung first, but we DO know that punches flew and the LASO was called to sort the matter out. Parking lots proved just as unlucky in March, when Brown reportedly exploded over a $10 valet fee. Apparently he was pissed because he had only been at the venue for 30 minutes and didn't feel like he had to pay the full parking amount. A saner member of the entourage tried to smooth the situation over by saying "We got the money … don't worry about it," but Chris shot him down. "We gonna turn this whole thing on out," he was heard to shout. Most recently, Brown was arrested for felony assault outside Washington D.C.'s W Hotel in the early morning hours of October 27th. Apparently a man jumped into a photo Brown was taking with two women, and Brown (or his body guard, depending on the version) broke the man's nose. Who threw the punch is up for debate, but Brown spent 36 hours in jail and was hurriedly dispatched to rehab for anger management soon after. Although it's not for certain, the 24-year old entertainer has intimated that he may retire from music following the release of his album X early next year.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
While we're letting the music be the message, this might be a good time to mention the Whoridas' "Dock of the Bay," blest with what a forgiving person might call extremely sex- positive lyrics (at worst, "I hate when the tush looks like it's been mushed"; at best, "she had the spot smelling like the dock of the bay" which is slightly hilarious and plus I like that marina smell. Whatever). The point is the sprung bass bounce: it's all about the funk.
"So Pure" and "Dock of the Bay" are the same song, dumb with desire and mighty with music, with massive imbalances between what you feel and what you can say about it. Young love's like that, dude. The songs that wax eloquent and make a joyful noise and generally get it all right are all wrong-inaccurate or depressingly mature. I hate it when the crush looks like it's been airbrushed.
The first 90 seconds of "Ready To Run," Dixie Chicks' contribution to Runaway Bride, promise a legit candidate for song of the year: irrefutable melody, playful harmony, surprising verse shape. But even by the second chorus it's over, except instead of ending it falls into an aimless fade, two minutes of beating the once-joyous hook "All I'm ready to do is have some fun" down to domestication and finally to empty speech. Get it? The song is shaped like a love affair, and marriage is that endless slough of ashes after the fire-all so we'll understand what makes Julia run. The only song with the exact same dynamic is NIN's "Closer," and the codas ask the same question: what do you do after you're done fucking like animals?
Breed, duh. Parental googliness will soon be receiving its very own Billboard chart: if "Just the Two of Us," Courtney's "Heaven Tonight," Madonna's "Little Star," and Lauryn's (and Everclear's?) maternal rave-ups haven't ruined you, this month offers two that don't suck. "My Love Is Your Love" is Whitney's step outside her new Wronged Woman persona (coauthor Wyclef Jean retains his Oops I Rewrote "No Woman No Cry" Again persona) to drop the mom on us elegantly, understatedly, like her life really is richer now than when she used to get so emotional. Nuclear family vs. the apocalypse vibe bonus for "If I wake up in World War III," etc. Even better is doom'n'gloom-free "Sunshine" by new baby mommy Coko (late of SWV), which deserves to be an idyllic throwaway summer song except it's too late.
Ditto for Bree Sharp. "David Duchovny," the new standard in psych-fanzine as perfect pop single, is still a song out of time: The X-Files is so passé she might as well be stalking Tab Hunter. Timing is everything for a novelty song, one of two reasons that Kid Rock's good- anytime "Cowboy" doesn't qualify. The other is its roots go too deep: it's a post?hip-hop six-pack western with the spirit of "Paul Revere" and the structure of "Loser." For sure it's a step past the rest of Mr. Rock's oeuvre, which is mostly busy not sleeping in Brooklyn.
These days Beck and the Beasties occupy the same place, and it's a coffeeshop, not a bar (I'm talking Indiana here; you from New York, you are so irrelevant). The oh-so-enlightened BeastieBoys ask Prodigy to please not play "Smack My Bitch Up"-and Liam Howlett answers immediately by sampling AdRock's "I did it with a Wiffle Ball bat" into his set (I know, no such thing as PostModernism). By scratching the art-house surface to reveal the jerkoff underneath, Kid Rock does the same kulturwerk as Prodigy: reminding us that this year's Buddhist dweeb bought his freedom to wax righteous by selling millions of rhymes as leeringly lowdown as the Kid's. Sure, the Beasties are the ones you marry-but all I'm ready to do is have some fun.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to vacate the status quo with regard to scrapping of the first Indian warship IMS Vikrant, which has been auctioned by the ministry of defence (MoD).
The MoD had moved the vacation bench of SC to get the status quo vacated as the ship has already been auctioned to IB Commercial Pvt Ltd for Rs60 crore.
The SC, on May 5, had stayed the scrapping of IMS Vikrant till further hearing during the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) by activist Kiran Paingarkar seeking preservation of the historical ship, which played a significant role in India's victory against Pakistan in the 1971 war.
A vacation bench of justices BS Chauhan and AK Sikri refused to grant relief to MoD noting that the status quo was granted by a regular court. It has kept the next hearing on reopening of court after vacation.
Paigankar's advocate Shekhar Jagtap opposed the MoD's application saying there was no urgency in the matter.
Although the ship has been auctioned to IB Commercial Pvt Ltd, its physical possession has not been handed over as the ship is still docked at the Mumbai port, Jagtap contended, adding, IB Commercial can't just tow the ship from the port.
Paingarkar had initially approached the Bombay high court in December 2013 through Jagtap seeking that the Centre and MoD be restrained from scrapping the ship.
However, the HC, on January 23, dismissed the PIL observing that the Centre and state government have made several attempts in the past to convert it into a museum but have not succeeded. "Also, looking at the condition of the ship, we don't find that the impugned decision (to scrap Vikrant) is arbitrary," the HC judges had observed.
The MoD has contended that the ship is in a bad condition and that the navy has already spent Rs22 crore for its repairs in addition to the yearly maintenance for the last 17 years.
The ship was first commissioned in the British Navy in 1945 as HMS Hercules. India purchased it from the UK in January 1957 and renamed it Indian Naval Ship (INS) Vikrant. After it was decommissioned, it was rechristened Indian Museum Ship (IMS) Vikrant.

"In my camera last night was Kodak TMY. "
I discovered something quite by accident some time ago, TMax film really does NOT like Potassium Bromide in the developer, will drop everything from zone 5 and lower down into the shadows of zone 1 but zone 5.5. Could be interesting for a 'film noir' look, may help you with this. I don't remember if it was the old TMax or the newer version, it was a while ago, BUT a little goes a long way, maybe start with 1g/l of working solution.

Kaplan today announced that it has named Sari Factor as president of its K12 Learning Services division, which partners with schools and school districts to provide high-quality instructional programs.
Factor, an education veteran with nearly 30 years of experience in basal, supplemental and technology publishing across the pre-K-12 spectrum, was formerly president of Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, the elementary publishing unit of the McGraw-Hill companies. Under her leadership, Macmillan launched three market-leading basal series, published the division's first supplemental programs — for Reading Intervention and English Language Learners — and transformed the company's product development processes for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
"Kaplan has a long established reputation for quality in education, and in recent years its K12 programs have gained recognition for demonstrating positive results among partner schools and districts," said Factor.

"I look forward to furthering Kaplan's goals in expanding the reach and breadth of its programs, solidifying its leadership in the K12 space, and continuing to support partner schools in propelling student achievement," said Factor.
Factor's experience in strategic and operational leadership also comes from a tenure as President of Wright Group, one of McGraw-Hill's supplemental publishing imprints, and as General Manager of Tribune Education's Everyday Learning Corporation, where she was instrumental in driving more than 25% annual growth. Previously, she also served as Vice President of Marketing and New Ventures at McDougal Littell, where she played an integral role in transforming the company from a niche publisher to one of the major competitors in the secondary school market.
Factor holds a B.S. in education from Indiana University, and an M.B.A. from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

Great Game, and the best of the Thief series
Surprisingly however, the second game, the Metal Age, made no advances graphically or in terms of movement.
So by the time the third game came along, Thief was in urgent need of an upgrade. The good news is, it got it. Despite criticisms from some hardened Thief fans, this game is in my opinion the best of the series.
Graphically, Thief: Deadly Shadows (TDS) is a massive leap forward. The maps are generally well realised, with city streets you can almost feel, and various other locations brought to life well, not just through the visuals but also using highly atmospheric sound effects and music. Characters move more realistically and basically the whole thing has been updated to a good standard, even if you're playing it in 2009.
The enemy AI has also improved. To be honest, I got quickly bored of The Metal Age because it was too easy to clear an area by sneaking up on the guards, knocking them out then walking around some big and sometimes rather bland maps freely. In contrast sneaking up on enemies in TDS is a real art, the slightest noise of glimpse enough to have them attacking you, and once that happens you've pretty much simply got to run away or take them down at considerable cost. Also, in the City streets at least, if you do knock out a guard, another one (or even two) seem to arrive to take their place before long, meaning you only gain a temporary advantage and may well end up worse off.
In terms of taking enemies on, things have been made harder due to the replacement of the sword, which was fun to use occasionally, with the almost-useless dagger, the use of which leaves you open to receiving more damage than you're actually able to inflict with it.
Broadhead arrows remain effective against conventional enemies, particularly if you take them by surprise, whilst fire arrows work well against some of the more exotic enemies.
There are also the water arrows, used to extinguish torches, moss arrows to muffle your footsteps, noise arrows to send enemies off in the wrong direction, and gas arrows. Other useful items include mines (very useful against some harder enemies) gas bombs, flash bombs and holy water (for use against zombies).
These items are either found (eg water arrows often lie in fountains) or bought from traders, and as the game requires use of pretty much all of them it's a real incentive to steal as much as possible (over and above the targets set by the game) to buy plenty of each.
One detrimental aspect of the game is that the rope arrow, which was used to fire up at a wooden beam and then climb up, has been replaced by climbing gloves. This is one aspect which has annoyed some Thief fans, and it's true that the rope arrows were fun, but on the other hand the climbing gloves are actually better in some situations. For example if you're being chased by a guard, you can run around a corner and climb up a wall, then wait while they scratch their heads and then walk away… what's not so good is that they're very inflexible, being only any good on flat stone walls – as soon as you reach a outwards ledge above you, or a window frame or anything else, you're unable to make any more progress, which was a little frustrating.
There are many interlinked maps in Thief. As the game progresses you're able to come ago from most of these as you please, choosing how quickly you fulfil each part of the core mission, and giving you the choice to visit one or more of the black market traders to buy/sell and also to do a bit more 'honest' thieving before returning to the intrigue and suspense of the central story. Although in themselves some of the maps aren't huge, they're so well designed that they feel bigger than they are, and also it's still easy to get lost – I found one or two alleys really difficult to find, maybe because of an personal inbuilt tendency to go one way rather than the other, but also because of the level's clever design.
Giving nothing away, the central plot is a genuinely intriguing one which as usual embroils Garrett the Thief (your character) deeper and deeper, with his own primary motivation always being either to extricate himself from some threat or to make a profit. Garrett is, as in the previous games, brilliantly voice-acted and the dialogue remains sharp and humorous. The cut scenes are also very well crafted. The surrounding characters are all given distinct personalities and this again gives the game depth. My only criticism is that there aren't enough different models of the city citizens, meaning you sometimes come across three identical people in the same street.
Simply surviving on the city's streets, with the City Watch, and often one or more other factions, on the look out for you is a suspense-filled task in its own right, but as the plot develops you visit a number of creepy locations where the enemies are harder to dispose of. Chief amongst these is the orphanage/asylum, a setting used in other games but in which the atmosphere is as creepy, if not more so, as the others I've encountered. Playing this part late at night really did have me feeling jumpy!
Incidentally, all this genuine suspense and fear is created without the game resorting to its predecessors' least-attractive characteristic, namely the giant spiders. Always nonsensical, and a real spoiler for arachnophobics, I'm pleased to say there are none in TDS – there are some smallish six-legged bugs crawling around, but they get their comeuppance at a certain point ;)
As well as being suspenseful the game is also great fun. Again, Garrett keeps up a droll commentary – "giant rats… great!" and some of the guards' and citizens' asides are also amusing. I often found myself laughing as once again, after yet another failed attempt to KO a guard with the blackjack, I found myself pursued through the city's streets by an angry mob.
Although capture normally means death, on one occasion I found myself thrown into jail, creating the additional mission of getting my stuff back and escaping – this was a really clever idea and one of a number of 'side missions' which were a good part of the game in their own right.
There is also the real sense of achievement, enhanced from the earlier games, at slipping quietly through an area, stealing a few items then slipping out again. As stated above, the harder enemy AI really does help steer you towards doing so rather than just trying to knock everyone out.
The game is of a good length too, theoretically taking place over a few days, with a number of locations visited in each day. This gives the game a sense of 'real time' which. Together with the fact that there are other events going on around you which cause various bits of fighting and other activity in the streets, really help make you feel part of a bigger picture.
Overall then, I would recommend Thief: Deadly Shadows as one of the best games I've played – there was never a dull moment, plenty of well-conceived maps, a strong plot but enough freedom to tackle missions in different ways and even to an extent in a different order.
In terms of difficulty, I played on the second highest level, and found that generally that provided the right balance between enjoyable gameplay and being also genuinely challenged.
I encountered few bugs, the only thing being that occasionally Garrett would start gliding around instead of walking, something I put down to the game slipping into some kind of developer's view. This was remedied by going back to a previous save.
So in summary, leaving aside a few small things like the rope arrows and the sword, this game is a vast improvement on the previous ones, and definitely worth playing whether you've already played them or not.
To be honest, I'd play this game ahead of the others, due to the previous games' dated graphics. So forget all the carping – remember some people just can't handle change - and go play.

Palestinians gather in Gaza for rally marking Hamas 25th anniversary
Published on Dec 8, 2012 10:19 PM
GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories (AFP) - More than 100,000 Palestinians gathered in Gaza on Saturday for a rally marking the 25th anniversary of Hamas to be addressed by the ruling Islamist movement's leader in exile.
Politburo chief Khaled Meshaal crossed from Egypt on Friday on his first ever visit to Gaza and his first to the Palestinian territories since 1975. His speech was set to be the headline event of the rally.
Mr Meshaal arrived at the main stage in the Al-Qitaba complex west of Gaza City which was transformed into a sea of green Hamas flags. He was accompanied by his deputy Mussa Abu Marzuk and Gaza's Hamas premier Ismail Haniya.
The celebrations come just over two weeks after an Egyptian-brokered truce ended eight days of bloodshed with Israel which left 174 Palestinians dead.

The Atlanta Hawks have had all sorts of problems over the course of the 2012-13 season. Their backcourt play has been shoddy at times, and Devin Harris and others have spent plenty of time injured, and they have lost their share of close games. Yet through it all, the team enters play on Wednesday night five-games above .500 and comfortably in the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Why has this team continued to win games this year? Josh Smith.

Needless to say, the 'teen market" itself isn't much impressed by the FTC's efforts. A day or two after the report was released, two dozen students are sitting in class in a local high school, picking apart the commission's logic. A girl near the front scrutinizes the list of television programs taken to task for advertising explicit albumsa list that includes MTV's Jackass and UPN's WWF Smackdown! "They're advertising this stuff on violent shows," she says. "And what is the music expressing? It's expressing violence. I mean, why not penalize the shows, too?"
A boy across the room raises his hand: "They say some of it's too violent for kids. But to me, it depends on what the kid's mindset is. If you're just a straight-arrow kid, and you listen to that type of stuff, and you don't act like an asshole, then it's fine. But if you're one of those kids that takes reality as a joke, and you think, 'Oh, I can light myself on fire like Johnny Knoxville did' . . . " His voice trails off in disgust.
This is precisely the age group that Lieberman is so concerned aboutthe 15- to 17-year-olds who constitute the bulk of the "children" in the audiences studied by the FTC. They've grown up watching R-rated movies and buying stickered albums, so they're used to having their pop culture carefully rated and generally unrestricted. All of them expressed dismay at the prospect of the Media Marketing Accountability Act passing into law. But they weren't worried about their own access to rap records, they were worried about the rappers' livelihoods. "It takes a long time to make a album," someone remarked, tenderly.
A tall, slender guy in the back complained that rappers were setting a bad example. "They're brainwashing little kids," he exclaimed. But he was immediately cut off by a bored-looking girl across the room: "I wanna see what happens after they actually make all these laws. I wanna see if it actually does anything."
"Does anything" to whom? The seductive thing about regulating advertisingespecially for the liberals sponsoring this legislationis that it allows you to manipulate the audience without dictating content. We don't enjoy imagining ourselves as markets, so we imagine other people as markets and wonder whether we can get them to stop buying whatever the marketers are marketing. If Americans have little sympathy for advertisers, it's because we have little patience with advertiseesrubes who are taken in by what they see on television and read in magazines. What's going on here isn't just the old demonization and romanticization of teenagers. As Lieberman and his allies have learned from the debates over cigarette regulation and campaign finance reform, Joe Camel and soft-money ads are easy targets precisely because no one will admit to being influenced by them.
Advertisements do work, of course. And as advertisers get better at identifying audiences, it seems inevitable that regulatory bodies will use that demographic information to create more precise marketing standards. Yet imposing marketing standards is a pretty indirect way to change patterns of consumption. When I asked the high school class what the record industry should do to avoid government scrutiny, a hand shot up. "Make kids show ID, like with cigarettes," said a girl who'd rolled her eyes when first told about the FTC report. "You know, that 'We Card' shit? Do that with CDs."
A snort from the other side: "They'd just buy it at a bootleg shop or something. That don't make no sense!"
The girl was unfazed. "You know what? The record label and the marketing department would be safe from getting any fines or anything. As long as they ID people, it's all clear, they're safe. Whatever other way the child gets it? That's their problem."

Anybody have any experience with using 3Delight to render on multi core computers? From what I can tell the 3Delight renderer that comes free with the Daz4 program only uses 1 core. I've got a first generation MacPro dual processor 8core machine running OSX 10.6.8. The renders I'm making take forever. Would purchasing a 3Dwlight multi core rendering engine speed things up? I looked at the 3Delight website and I didn't see that it has much support for its users. B4 I spend hundreds on the 3Delight I thought I should get some reviews from Daz4 owners using multicore 3Delight render engines to render their Daz4 scenes. You can see the renders I've done so far with the free version of Daz4 using the one free 3Delight render engine at the following links. These renders take a long time and since I'm probably going to have about 1200 of them in my upcoming graphic novel NOCTURNES I need to speed things up a lot. Check out the links here:
Nocturnes by AVU4U
Club Street in the graphic novel NOCTURNES
Z Nightclub interiors in the graphic novel NOCTURNES
Here are some renders of the mighty Z Nightclub and Club Street in my upcoming graphic novel NOCTURNES. The work that I have put into these renders taught me how to do UV maps in Lightwave and then export them to Daz4. Doing this is not easy. I've been working on the Z Nightclub for over 3 months and its almost finished. Hopefully I'll get it done next week and then I can begin to build the interior of the BANK Nightclub which is across the street from the Z Nightclub. If everything goes well I hope to have the graphic novel NOCTURNES done in about a year from now.
I have a couple of more interiors to finish once the BANK is done and then I can begin to design the characters. The illustrations in my graphic novel Nocturnes will probably exceed 1200 with a projected page count of about 300. I've never done anything like this so wish me luck. Daz4 rules.

MOSCOW -- Moscow police say a University of Idaho senior died of respiratory arrest, apparently due to alcohol poisoning after a night of drinking to celebrate his 21st birthday.
Emergency personnel responded to a report of an unconscious man at Sigma Nu fraternity at 2:42 a.m. Tuesday. They located Benjamin Harris of Burley on the third floor and began CPR. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Gritman Medical Center.
Assistant Police Chief David Duke says Harris may have had as many as 15 shots in two-and-a-half hours as he celebrated his birthday Monday night.
A preliminary investigation indicated Harris died of respiratory arrest caused by alcohol poisoning. The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner after review of the toxicology reports.
The University of Idaho issued a statement today:
The University of Idaho community is saddened by the death of Benjamin Harris. He was a senior in architecture and interior design from Burley, Idaho. Ben -- a member of Sigma Nu fraternity -- enriched the lives of those around him, and his gift for creativity in design held great promise for the future. The university is working closely with the students who are on campus this summer, and with Sigma Nu chapter alumni, to provide counseling and support services at this time. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Folded Trench
From the collection 'Exploded View', the Folded Trench is a classical trench coat modified by pattern explosion, completely handmade in Antwerp. The garment consists of 33 single pieces. The technical fabric "Stormy Island" from Italian Limonta is double-layed water and wind-proof. A hand-knitted bulky grey wool collar is attached to the collar stand with buttons (the coat can also be worn with the collar detached). A special edition model with certificate and Identification Code IC (after completion an individual Identification Code IC is generated and handwritten on the label).
The classical trench coat is fragmented into more than 30 single pattern pieces which have been re-composed again on the mannequin. By doing this, new pocket solutions, darts and fit have been modified. All these elements combine with a timeless light-grey colour and directive construction lines. The trench coat is constructed in a way that by closing its front the wearer can fold a sculpture on his body. The combination of classical cut an d 3D-pattern explosion is on the edge of art and clothing.

A Centerview teenager is being charged with his father's murder following an investigation by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
Jacob Hayes Feldman, 17, was charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and burglary after confessing to shooting his father in the head while he slept, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
Reports indicate Johnson County sheriff's deputies received a 911 call Jan. 25 on a report of an unresponsive man at 307 N. Main St. in Centerview. Deputies found Walter Hayes Feldman dead in his bed of an apparent gun shot wound. After an autopsy, the Johnson County medical examiner ruled Walter Hayes Feldman's death a homicide.
"On Februay 28 we conducted an interview with Jacob Hayes Feldman," said Chief Deputy Gary Klote. "During the interview, he told us he and a juvenile suspect went to Walter Hayes Feldman's home on January 22, where they found him asleep in his bed. Jacob said he shot three bullets from a .22-caliber rifle into Walter's head and removed several items from the residence."
Klote would not comment on Feldman's possible motive for shooting his father or the role the juvenile suspect played in the death.
Feldman is currently being held at the Johnson County Jail on a $750,000 bond. The juvenile suspect also remains in custody.

Chocolate almonds make great gift
I love food gifts (and they love me, unfortunately). One size fits all, they disappear after the holidays (well, mostly), and they never collect dust. Everyone eats!
Here's a good food gift idea from the Almond Board of California, for Christmas or any time. The board suggests serving these nuts alone or mixing them with 2-3 cups of popcorn:
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole natural almonds
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place egg white in a large stainless steel bowl; whisk until frothy. Whisk in vanilla. Add almonds and gently toss until completely coated. Place remaining ingredients in a bowl and toss until well combined. Add sugar mixture to the almonds, a quarter at a time, and gently toss until well-coated. Transfer almonds to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir and bake for 15 more minutes, or until coating is lightly colored and dried out. Remove from oven and immediately loosen with a metal spatula. Cool before serving. Makes 2 cups.
And Appetizers: At this time of year, I'm also looking for appetizer ideas. If you've got a good appetizer recipe, please share it with us at the address at the bottom of this column.
This recipe is a fun twist on sushi that would make a good appetizer. It's from "Surprisingly Simple," a brochure from the USA Rice Federation featuring seven recipes that can be prepared in 30 minutes using six ingredients. For a free brochure, send a business-size, self-addressed, stamped envelope to Surprisingly Simple, c/o USA Rice Federation, 4301 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 425, Arlington, VA 22203 or visit www.usarice.com/consumer to download:
3 cups cooked short or medium grain white rice, cooled
1 cup grated Parmesan-Romano cheese blend
2/3 cup half and half
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
8 to 10 large thin slices prosciutto (cured Italian ham)
One 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut in strips
Combine rice, cheese, half and half, and basil in large bowl. Place 1 prosciutto slice on cutting board; spread 1/2 cup rice mixture evenly over prosciutto, pressing slightly. Arrange a few pepper strips lengthwise down center over rice; carefully roll into a log, about 8 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining prosciutto slices; refrigerate 15 minutes. Cut each roll crosswise into 1-inch pieces, placing on platter, cut side up, to resemble sushi. Serve at room temperature. Makes 16 servings (about 64 pieces).
This appetizer idea is from the California Table Grape Commission. Find more at www.freshcaliforniagrapes.com:
Grilled Antipasto Skewers
24 shrimp, peeled and deveined (31-40 size)
One 8-ounce jar cocktail onions
3/4 pound red or black seedless grapes

"Well... that was fun,"
Samantha thought to herself sarcastically. When she too got to the kitchen, she grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from the refrigerator. Then she grabbed a can of Orange soda.
Walking upstairs back to her room, Samantha noticed Ryan acting a little strange. She only hoped that whatever they encountered, he'd calm down soon. The young woman then went inside her room, and shut the door.
Sitting on the bed, and reading her book while eating, Samantha felt that same coldness through her body. Strangely, the room was warm. What was that coldness? Suddenly, something dropped lightly on the floor. Samantha got up, and walked over to where the wardrobe was.
There on the floor, was an old African bracelet. The young woman picked it up, and stared at it. The gems were designed beautifully. Suddenly, she looked at her side, and saw a young African-American girl dressed in white. Samantha and her stared at each other for a while. Then Samantha broke the silence. "Hey there. What's your name?"
The little girl smiled, and waved good-bye. She then disappeared in the air. Samantha gasped. Another ghost! Then she heard the little girl's voice.
"Keep it."

Latest Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis Stories
Bad behavior in childhood is associated with long-term, chronic widespread pain in adult life, according to the findings of a study following nearly 20,000 people from birth in 1958 to the present day.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Jan.
Day-care-center-based child care and insensitive parenting might have lasting effects, U.S. researchers suggest.
Study finds link between exposure to community violence and a disruption to the stress pathways in the body.
A Canadian/U.S. research team has reported a novel approach to stimulating recovery from chronic stress disorders. Details of the therapeutic model, which exploits the natural dynamics of the body's "fight or flight" system, are published January 23 in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. In contrast to conventional time-invariant therapy, the researchers propose a well-directed therapeutic push delivered according to an optimal treatment schedule.

But tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah regardless of what's gone before
from Arctic Monkeys – The View From The Afternoon Lyrics on Genius
However, our narrator thinks tonight will be different. Regardless of his past failures, he's positive he's coming home with a babe tonight.
Perhaps a metaphorical response to the hype that surrounded the Arctic Monkeys before they even released an album. They're not just a hype machine.

35, single, no kids, 6 figure job..... now if i could find me a mate I'd be happy.
to further my discussion, i'm drawn to the romantic idea of buying an older boat, putting some elbow grease into her, and then getting her into the water. The truth is, I have no tools, no room, and no knowledge on how to fix up a boat. I would drop it off at a yard, say to the guy get it turn-key and showroom shiny and ready for the water. here is a check, I'll see you in a couple weeks. (or something like that)
Learning to do much of the maintenance/repair work on a boat is not difficult. Most boat work requires 5% esoteric knowledge and 95% common sense. You can often learn the 5% from books, videos, sailing forums, etc. The 95% common sense is usually the tougher part to gain.
This is what makes me believe I should buy something new.
my sailing up till now is on small slooops. american 18's, 14's, j24, hobie cats, etc....
I'm going to take some sailing courses through the colgate school this summer in the BVI (that is my plan).
As for taking courses at the Colgate school in the BVI's, I'd recommend you join a local sailing club and take lessons there instead, unless you want to combine the learning with a vacation. Taking lessons at a local school often means you can sail on their boats for a while. This helps you get more practice and often gives you experience on different boats as well.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Rock the Bells New York Recap
DJ Bizzon and K. Mullen on assignment
"I'm not going to get excited about this until we get across the river without drowning and I hand over my ticket at the gates without losing it," says normally extra-hyper hip hop fan, DJ Bizzon, on the way to Rock the Bells 2011 in New York over Labor Day weekend.
If you know and love 90s hip hop and neo-soul music, saw this year's ridiculous festival lineup and were headed to catch it live with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop, it makes sense that it could seem too good to be true. The schedule included Nas performing 1994's Illmatic, Mos Def and Talib Kweli presenting 1998's Black Star, Erykah Badu remixing 1997's Baduizm, and Lauryn Hill performing The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill from 1998– and those were just the main stage acts. The side stages could've been a festival on their own: GZA, Mobb Deep, Immortal Technique, Souls of Mischief, Big K.R.I.T., Slaughterhouse, Black Moon, Ghostface, and more. All this in the epicenter of hip hop culture and hometown to half of the fest's artists. »Read Full Blog Post

CHAT Winemaker Salony Kane on the Indian market and the need for good wines
Opened yet another disappointing bottle of expensive wine? Most of you probably react by giving up and turning back to friendly tequila shots. After all, they don't flounce around revelling in impenetrability.
Salony Kane on the other hand believes that wine can be gloriously romantic. "A story in a bottle." The trick is to find a story that appeals to you.
Brought up in Pune, Salony made an unusual decision for an Indian student, and headed to the University of Adelaide to study wine.
"It started as an interest, which gradually grew," she says. "The first year was pure science." Turns out, drinking in the morning isn't really as deliciously decadent as Oscar Wilde made it out to be. "Imagine waking up at 7 a.m., and tasting about 200 wines in the cold cellar, all in different styles."
Far from glamorous
Then, there's the actual physical labour. "A lot of us did part time jobs… We worked as cellar rats over the weekends," she laughs, adding that cellar work, particularly during the vintage months, is far from glamorous. "For about four months you work ridiculous hours; you're constantly filthy, your teeth are purple with tasting, and finger nails are black with wine stains."
Salony started out as a winemaker with the Nepenthe vinery in Australia ("Back then it was a lovely family-run operation. Now, of course, the big boys have bought them out. That's the story of the industry, really"). She worked with Orlando Wine (a big Australian winery which produces the popular Jacob's Creek), till very recently, and is now in Chennai taking a break.
Explaining her passion for wine, she talks of the romance of walking through vineyards. "You see the flowers, the fruit. You get it harvested, it comes into your winery, and you help it grow into a beautiful wine. Then you wait till it's ready, and that first sip is an absolute joy. It's so exciting, and it happens every year."
Ironically, all the attention wine has been getting over the last couple of years hasn't done it too many favours. While wine has got some people fascinated for sure, there's no sign of the much-hyped 'burgeoning market' yet. "If it was a growing market, would there be so much wine sitting around? Would there be so many grape contracts cancelled?" Salony asks, adding: "Europe is swimming in litres of wine — bad quality wine, admittedly. Australia is the same. Every man and his dog got into the business because it was so profitable. But, they're not selling. If there really was this huge middle-class hanging around waiting for wine, they would be."
Winemakers, she says, should ask themselves what's moving. "Chances are it's the good wine that's found buyers. What's too expensive, what's not good quality is what doesn't sell."
As for India? "We, the new latitude wines, have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes — no, I shouldn't say mistakes — the experience and lessons of the Old World and New World wines. I don't know if we're doing that. Right now, we're doing what everyone else is doing."
Quality control
Salony adds that Indian winemakers need to work on quality control. "The biggest challenge in the industry is logistics. Transport and storage. Most wine gets cooked while it's being transported," she says, adding: "I've tried some of these wines in the wineries where they're produced, and it's absolutely beautiful when they come out of the barrel."
What winemakers need to do is introduce customers to good wine, instead of taking them for granted, she states. "It's a myth that people need to be educated. People don't need to be taught what tastes good. Seriously. They don't need to be taught about your wine. They just need an incentive to drink it."

When he was 15-0, like Price, he was fighting opponents he was expected to easily beat. Yes, Tyson was much younger, but Price is in no hurry. He's an athlete, takes care of himself, and has no wear. I wouldn't expect him to start dropping off until he was around 36.
He has some, if not a lot of time, and his style is good for that type of longevity. Skelton is fine. If he's still fighting the same type of guy this time next year? We got a problem.
i agree with everything you said buddy..i just get worried about over confidence and what price will do when he finally steps up and cant knock guys out easily.will he cope well??wlad didnt and it took him a while to get over it..skelton wont give him rounds.and we knew audley wouldnt.thats all i was saying.he needs rounds imo...great prospect tho...
ive really got a taste for price vs helenius tho.id love to see the bout now..
and ill not start about tyson i couldnt be anoyed arguing with his fans
