Summary: Australian Shephard puppies
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Distribution: co
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 00:13:29 GMT

I'm posting this for my housemate:

We have 5 Australian Shephard puppies for sale: 1 blue merle (female, 
incredible white collar); 4 tri-color (three male, the smallest of which
is my favorite, and one really good-tempered female).  The tri's have very
clear markings, with what will be deep copper around the collar.  

The dogs were bred for temprament--that is, outgoing, social, mellow (as an
Aussie can be)--and from what I've seen, my housemate has succeeded.  Yes,
all puppies are adorable, and these guys are no exception.  Most (if not all)
are not strongly dominant, but pretty relaxed.  They don't lie down and
take a beating, but generally don't go looking for fights either.  

Anyway, because of the bloodlines (lots of champions), my housemate is
asking $250 to $350 per dog.  She strongly encourages dogs that are bought
for pets be spayed/neutered and will include a certificate for same.  She
likes to keep track of her puppies and continues to maintain interest for
the life of the dog--I know she's taken back two dogs at the request of
their owners when the owners had to move and couldn't take the dog with
them.

If you are interested, give her a call!  Stacie Harris 303/665-5190.  I'll
also be happy to pass messages along to her.

Steve, you misunderstood me. What I said was that the staff at High
Time had called it an EFF event...this was on their chalkboard out
front. Ed and I talked about it and decided it was okay to just leave
it. I certainly had no problems calling it an EFF event, though we
didn't want any confusion (distraction from?) the meeting the following
night.

Incidentally, it wasn't really a meeting...it was a panel or a 
presentation. It went very well.

I've got it.  Reception is equal to cable I've had elsewhere,
availability of the service (outages) is better than what I've heard
others complain about.  You do need line-of-sight to their antenna to
get it.  When they originally started they didn't have a very good
channel selection; now it's OK -- not wonderful, but OK.

In terms of cost, it's competitive on a per-box basis with others.  As
someone else pointed out, however, there is a cost disadvantage in
that it doesn't use standard cable channels, so TV cable-readiness
isn't worth anything: you have to get a set-top box for every TV you
use.  Whether this is an actual loss depends on how you expect to use
it; I get premium (decoded) channels, so I need the box anyway.

I originally got CableMaxx because ACV hadn't yet activated my area.
Now they have, but it's not worth it to do the lawn digging rewiring
needed for a changeover.

*2   READY FOR SCHOOL?:  NEW BOOKLET ADVISES PARENTS
     A new booklet that provides parents "concrete" ways to
encourage a child's intellectual development is being released
today by the National Association of Elementary School Principals
and World Book Educational Products (NAESP press release).
     "Little Beginnings:  The First Five Years" gives specific
activities for parents to do with their children.  For example,
during the first six months of life, the booklet suggests that
parents sing and read aloud to their baby.  Parents of one-to-two
year olds are told:  "Let your baby watch you work, and explain
what you're doing," and "Play direction games.  Have your child
go under the table, [or] next to the door."
     Skills that kindergarten teachers say are critical to make
the home-to-school transition are listed at the end of the
booklet.
     According to an NAESP press release, "Little Beginnings" was
prepared by an advisory committee of school principals and early-
childhood specialists.  NAESP says that the booklet "emphasizes
lots of talking and reading between parents and young children."
     Samuel Sava, NAESP executive director:  "Our aim is to get
"Little Beginnings" into the hands of every new parent.  It's one
way we can help meet our nation's first education goal -- to have
all children come to school ready to learn."
     Sava added that "educators have long recognized that
children learn from the day they are born, and that the first
five or six years are actually a child's peak learning years."
     One free copy of the 20-page booklet may be obtained by
sending a stamped, business-size envelope to World Book
Educational Products, Station 9/NAESP, 101 Northwest Point Blvd.,
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007, or by calling 1-800-848-8170.
Multiple copies are available in packs of 25, $17.25 per pack
plus $2.50 shipping, through NAESP Educational Products, 1615
Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314-3483.

   A group of us play paintball at a wooded ranch south of town off I-35
   every other sunday, and we'll be out there at 9:00 AM on Oct. 18.

   We have enough spare gear (facemasks & paintguns) to equip 10-12
   players if you want to try it but don't have your own stuff.  Usually
   there are 20-30 players total, and we choose up sides and play
   capture-the-flag for several hours.  Costs around $25/person, and
   it is loads of fun.  We have a chronograph and insist on barrel
   plugs in the neutral zone.

   Send me email if you have questions or want directions.

Well, whatever the case may be, they're still giving BS excuses. I've
seen several test patterns on ACV up near the highest channels, so they
can put the new channel there, or switch something else to there. Right
now there's a test pattern on Channel 53 (some other channel on the
cable converter for sure).

I don't think ACV will ever get rid of the shopping channels, because
ACV get a percentage of their sales in Austin.

I don't think they'll get rid of the radar either, because according to
some bigwig at NOAA, it's the #1 most watched cable channel in the city.

I think we could do without WGN, KVC-13 gets a lot of the same
syndicated programs. BET hardly shows anything but infomercials (sheesh
maybe ACV gets a cut from them too, yuk). I'd like to see CNBC expanded
to 24 hours a day, but I don't want to lose Bravo for it. There's about
a dozen channels that I think are part of the city cable charter and
can't be gotten rid of (3 access, city, AISD, ACC, TCTV... okay 7). A&E
has really gone downhill, and I could watch similar stuff on half a
dozen other channels. I guess the only other thing that i could glady be
rid of is all the channels devoted to the pay-per-view, sheesh it has
its own preview guide!!

Not to mention Nada, TX ... southwest of Houston.  I figured I'd go
there one day just to see if there was .. well .. *nothing*!  Believe
it or not, there actually was a nice little village there, a market
and a bunch of fairly nice houses.  Only a short distance from Nada
was a small airport where (when I was passing through) they were
having an air show of some kind.

On a related note, someone once told me that they should rename *Houston*
to Cut-n-Shoot ... but that's a different story entirely ;)
