I'm looking at USB microscopes at Dealextreme. There are two that I am looking at.
The first one is 20-200x magnification and 2 megapixels.
The other one is 20-400x magnification but only 1.3 megapixels.
I pulled out an ancient Tasco microscope that I got when I was a kid. The edge at 150x magnification seemed to show all sorts of detail that would be useful. I'm just wondering if the trade off of more magnification at lower resolution is worth it. Thoughts?
Edit - I just noticed that the 20-400x scope is backordered. I went ahead and ordered the 20-200x 2 mp version. I'll take some pictures of the progression of the edge as I hone a razor.

Freya bras are my favorite. I usually wear the Deco Molded Plunge and I got this one because it was a similar style but with the extra pinstripe and velvet details that made it a little more fun than the regular everyday. It fits true to size, though the only complaint I have is that unlike others who found it too large, for me the top edge of the cups is actually a little snug, so it can create a little spillage line if not sitting exactly right. I don't have this issue with other Freya bras, though. Because of that I don't wear it under a tshirt. Gives great shape and lift otherwise. Sarie from San Francisco, CA
Size: 28DD
True to size, quality "construction", seems durable and comfortable, but like other reviews - the edge of the cup likes to curl out a little so this is not a great bra for under a t-shirt since you can see the whole edge of the cup from the side view. But I wear it under camis which are stretchy so they hold the edge down and you can't tell. Great perk up and cleavage :) JackieB from TX
Size: 30GG
I do love this bra, it is absolutely georgeous. On mine when I wear it (which may also be because I am between G and GG so I am just a little bit too small) the part where the brown line goes around the tops of the cups make the top of the cups curl outward.. It did not do it when I first bought it but a couple times after it does. It is a very comfortable bra, supports well. I am just built a little wrong for it! Shelley from Scottsdale, Az USA
Size: 30FF
Its hot! And it has AMAZING support! Submitted from TheUndies.com
Size: 28F
Freya bras usually fit me well, however, this one (like the Deco) doesn't lie flat on my breasts. The molded cup seems to come away around the top edges and showed under my t-shirt. I know this style works for a lot of women, but for some reason, it has never worked for me. I will say it is pretty! Freya Response: Unfortunately not every style works for every body. Perhaps you just need a different shape for your very petite frame. You might like our fabulous Deco half-cup bra 4232. This style features a subtle graduated pad to enhance your décolleté . The shape is more "demi" so the cups won't come up as high on your chest as 4971, and there would be a better chance of the cups not coming away from the chest wall. Andi from Maine

Size: 28FF
This was worth the 2 month wait!! Pros: Finally an attractive t-shirt style bra that isn't boring. It's supportive and feels well made. Creates a rounded profile, though it is a tad perkier looking than what the Deco style gives. Cons: Beware! This particular style runs 1 full cup size too small!! I had ordered the 28F and returned it because I had a lot of spillage. I also tried this on in store several months ago in 32DD and the cups were very tiny. This is supposed to be a more glamourous version of the Deco so you'd think it fits the same, but it doesn't. Other than that it's great. I'd recommend it, but go up a cup from your normal size.

Running solo: Lone Falcon cross country senior boy kept going
By BEN WATANABE
South Whidbey Record Sports, South Whidbey School District, South Whidbey Fire/EMS
November 13, 2012 · Updated 1:59 PM
Senior moments: Bader-Jarvis ran for highs, through lows
Cross country is an individual sport.
Sure, South Whidbey has a team and was scored by its cumulative places for points. For the lone senior boy, Jhamil Bader-Jarvis, a three-time letterman, the trails were often his alone this year.
Bader-Jarvis, known for running with knee-high socks as black as his hair, consistently finished as the Falcons' third runner. His times averaged in the mid-18s, and Bader-Jarvis set his career personal record at 18:15.06 at a Cascade Conference meet in Carnation. Here are Bader-Jarvis' reflections on his career and the program.
Why was your final season a success or a failure?
Jhamil Bader-Jarvis: For me the season was a success because the team improved as a whole, instead of little groups. We had a good back of boys running fast and sticking together. Also, even with individual injuries, the boys team really brought it at district, everyone had a good race, and we did the best as a team that we've done in many years.
How did you prepare for this year?
Bader-Jarvis: During the summer we have summer practices, generally 5 days a week and sometimes a weekend run. I was not able to participate with these practices, but I did a fair amount of running and biking on my own while I was working on Orcas Island.
As the only senior boy, what kept you running?
Bader-Jarvis: Running is as much an individual sport as it is a team sport. I have enjoyed cross country since I started sophomore year and I wouldn't miss a chance to improve my times and run with the team for anything.
Which course was your favorite and why?
Bader-Jarvis: My favorite course is the North County Golf Course, it's fast, there are good downhills and flats, which make it a good personal record course.
Which course was your least favorite and why?
Bader-Jarvis: My least favorite course is also one of my favorite courses, which is our home course. It's a double-edged sword; you have the home course advantage which means knowing the best way to run the hills and shortest route from point A to B on the course, but there is also the mental anticipation of knowing exactly which parts are hard.
What is your fondest memory of cross country?
Bader-Jarvis: I would say my fondest memory during cross country was district this year. Both the guys and girls did phenomenally, and although for everyone it was a challenge, everyone really brought their all.
Which race was your best?
Bader-Jarvis: Running may be physical, but it is also hugely a mental sport. Your mind really has to be into your race. My favorite race was at the Carnation Golf Course, not only because I got my personal best time, but because I was entirely, 100 percent into the race
The most important lesson coach Fulton taught you?
Bader-Jarvis: To have confidence in myself, believe and you can achieve.
Why did senior boys drop from the program?
Bader-Jarvis: Cross country isn't easy, you may be "just running," but it takes a lot of determination to stick with it. It isn't the right sport for everyone.
What got you into cross country?
Bader-Jarvis: I wish now that I ran cross country my freshman year, however, I only ran track. After running track, there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to run cross country, and that hasn't changed since then.
What do you like about distance running?
Bader-Jarvis: I am less of a speed runner, and more of an endurance runner, and that is exactly what distance running is, the 3-mile race that is standard in cross country and is a perfect race to test a combination of a decent amount of speed and a lot of endurance
When I run, I think about … Bader-Jarvis: the exhilarating feeling of pushing myself and improving my physical ability.

Pedaling Away: Bike to Work Day in Alexandria
City hosts three pit stops for bicycle commuters coming into, out of and through Alexandria.
Alexandria hosted three pit stops Friday as part of the region's Bike to Work Day, giving commuters a chance to pick up free food and coffee, enjoy live music, receive free bike tune-ups and enter prize giveaways on their way to work. "It's a great way to show support for a healthy lifestyle," said Jim Durham of Alexandria's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, who was overseeing the bicycle block party in Carlyle. "Bicycle commuting in Alexandria has tripled in the last 10 years. … I've been pleased with the work the city has done in regards to riders." Cyclists slid into to Carlyle from as far away as Oakton and Fort Belvoir to enjoy the festivities. At Market Square in Old Town, Councilwoman Del Pepper touted the city's investment…

Orchard Park (WBEN) -- The head of a group that works to ensure the long-term future of pro sports in Buffalo -- is surprised a change to the NFL blackout rule happened so fast.
In addition to the work done by Congressman Brian Higgins, Matt Sabuda, president of the Buffalo Fan Alliance, says the NFL deserves credit for changing the rule.
"It's something that just came to their attention as far as fans speaking out, as recently as February, but this is something that they changed so quickly on, and they listened to fans," Sabuda says.
NFL owners recently approved a resolution allowing teams to decide to broadcast games locally when more than 85 percent of seats are filled, a change in the longtime requirement for full capacity seating.
Sabuda says that Bills fans played a role in this rule change.
"It's safe to say that NFL fans in general owe a big thanks to Bills fans and Buffalo fans, and expatriates that wrote in and said that this is a rule that really, really needs to change," he says.
Sabuda says the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) got more input from the Buffalo market on this issue than from any other area in the country.

Independents Tap Automation from Innovation |
Innovation Associates, known for its PharmASSIST pharmacy automation systems, is now finding that its Eyecon visual countertop counting device is turning out to be a good product line extension. A four-store Minnesota Medicine Shoppe franchisee has installed the Eyecon unit in these stores plus in his independently owned Arrowhead Pharmacy, located in Grand Marais, Minn. With our volumes, we were looking for lower-cost automated count- ing that would provide a high level of accuracy for our pharmacies, says Mike Schwartzwald, owner of the franchises. The Eyecon was the perfect solution for us. You simply plug it in and youre ready to go. Weve experienced 100% accuracy, increased our throughput, and theres virtually no maintenance. Schwartzwald found that he immediately cost-justified his investment. The pharmacies fill in the range of 200 to 400 prescriptions a day. All the stores operate the Eyecon in a stand-alone validation mode without integration with the pharmacy management system. Two important quality assurance features are barcode scanning and digital imagery of the prescriptions to ensure that the right drug is used in the right dose. According to Innovation, the Eyecon counts tablets and capsules in 200 milliseconds with 99.9% accuracy. Its design lets pharmacists or technicians see the medication at all times, even as they dispense the pills to a vial, and theres no limitation on how fast they can pour from the stock bottle. If they overpour, the unit displays the exact overcount, and they can then remove any extra medication directly to the stock bottle with one motion, without touching the medication. To avoid cross-contamination, the Eyecon comes with separate penicillin and sulfa platters. Then there is Daves Pharmacy in Marysville, Ohio, which has installed the companys PharmASSIST Symphony+ system as the control center for its prescription processing. This pharmacy fills on average 400 prescriptions a day, with peak volumes as high as 525 prescriptions a day. The system has a 50-dispenser automated counting cabinet and is fully integrated with the QS/1 pharmacy system, the voiceTech IVR system for refills, and Cardinals perpetual-inventory management system. Dave Burke, owner of the pharmacy, says that Symphony+ has added much-needed structure and accountability to our workflow. This, he finds, has reduced wait times. Burke holds a seat on Cardinal Healths national retail advisory board. |

Glee Star Matthew Morrison Wants Legacy of Performing Arts High Schools
Glee's leading man Matthew Morrison is now officially juggling two time-consuming careers, one playing high school teacher Will Schuester on the hit musical-comedy television series about a glee club; the other as a recording artist with an album due May 10; the single, "Summer Rain," has just been released. But when things settle down or he figures out how to find time, the triple-threat actor, singer and dancer wants to start his own arts school.
"My thing is arts education, which is always great for me. It always has been, but it coincides with my role on Glee," Morrison tells Samaritanmag. "I'm a proud product of a public performing arts high school and my mission — and what I want my legacy to be — is to create a chain of accredited performing arts high schools.
"I'd love to do it all around the world because I was so lucky and fortunate to find my passion when I was really young, in theatre and singing and in the arts," he explains. "A lot of people don't get to experience that. So I'd love to have a place where people can actually go and see if that's what they'd like to do and have a really great performing arts school."

What do you think about this product? Sign in to write your revision.
I have lived in Switzerland for nearly 6 years and have read many books on Switzerland and the Swiss. None of the books I have read are as thorough and enjoyable as this one. Diccon Bewes has made this a very funny, informative and interesting book to read. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever spent time in Switzerland or wants to do so. One of the chapters I liked best was the one "made in Switzerland". I could now show off to my swiss friends in knowing some things about their country that even they didn't know. :-) I recognise many of Diccon's experiences as my own when I first moved here. Thoroughly enjoybale!
As someone who has lived in Switzerland quite recently I would recommend Swisswatching highly to anyone moving there or simply visiting the country. Bewes book gets under the skin of the experience of being a foreigner in Switzerland and does it with a great sense of fun. It also gives an excellent and informed view of the Swiss as a nation and proves beyond doubt that, despite having four cultural and language groups within its borders, there is such a thing as Swissness. Most importantly, the book takes a superb look at the regions of Switzerland, some of which may be well known but most of which will be new to all but the most experienced traveller. It looks at the products we all recognise as Swiss and the figures we may currently be unaware of and tells the story of a country through their histories. Above all this is a thoroughly enjoyable, amusing and entertaining read for anyone with even a passing interest in travel.
great book about siwtzerland and the swiss. if your are swiss you might learn a few things and if you arn't then you will get a bit closer to understanding switerland and its people. i can highly reccomend it for everyone to read.

ECCO's designers search for inspiration from many sources – from fashion, art, architecture, the car industry – and, of course, they follow what is happening in society closely. Nevertheless, they remain influenced by Scandinavian design, nature around them and our ECCO Heritage. No shoe ever leaves the Design Centre without it being checked for lightness, softness, flexibility, comfort and fit. ECCO is constantly challenging the boundaries of comfort, innovative shoe design and the market's best quality.

Leo: A wintry mix of clippings
While my kids are unhappy with the lack of snow we've received this winter, I couldn't be happier. No salt in the driveway, no shoveling my walkway, and no scraping my car windshield until my arms hurt.
The local news stations seem to be dying for some snow. They built the first couple "dustings" of the year up to be actual snow storms. Not the case. I actually saw a woman "stocking up" at the grocery for a snowfall that failed to cover my street!
Having said all this, I figure we will soon get something significant weather-wise. It's probably time for a trip to the home improvement store to get some snow-fighting supplies because like a hitter in an 0-for-18 slump… we're due.
* The Indians signed OF Fred Lewis and RHP Jeremy Accardo to minor league contracts with invitations to big league spring training.
Lewis, 31, is a .267 hitter with 91 doubles, 21 triples, 27 home runs and 136 RBI in 517 games with San Francisco, Toronto, and Cincinnati. He hit .230 (42-183) with 7 2B, 3HR & 19RBI in 81 games with the Reds last year.
Accardo, 30, has made 235 major league relief appearances with the Baltimore, Toronto, and San Francisco dating back to 2005. He was the Blue Jays closer in 2007, earning 30 saves. Last season, he split time between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk.
The Indians list of non 40-man roster spring invitations now consists of 17 players:
ACCARDO, Jeremy RHP
ADAMS, Austin, RHP
AMBRIZ, Hector, RHP
LEE, Chen-Chang, RHP
RAY, Chris, RHP
SEDDON, Chris, LHP
STURDEVANT, Tyler, RHP

PAGNOZZI, Matt, CA
LaROCHE, Andy, INF

HUFFMAN, Chad, OF
LEWIS, Fred OF
PIE, Felix, OF
* The Indians have come to terms with five of seven arbitration eligible players. Shin-Soo Choo, Justin Masterson, Joe Smith, Chris Perez, and Jack Hannahan all signed one year contracts. Only Asdrubal Cabrera and Rafael Perez remain un-signed and Cleveland has not gone to arbitration with any players since 1991. Arbitration hearings begin in February.
* Paul Phillips has signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. Phillips, 34, played 78 games with the Clippers last season and batted .237. He split time with Luke Carlin for much of the year.
* Michael Aubrey, a former Indians first round draft pick (11th overall in 2003) has decided to retire. The 29 year-old first baseman, who has suffered through several injuries, played for the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals organizations for the last two years. Aubrey hit four homers in a game last year for the Syracuse Chiefs.
* Cleveland Indians pitching coach Scott Radinsky has been rocking with his band Pulley. He is the lead singer for the group and was pictured in this tweet from the Rochester Red Wings at the House of Blues Hollywood. Radinsky was the Clippers pitching coach in 2009, Cleveland's bullpen coach in '10 and '11, and was named pitching coach when Tim Belcher stepped down after last season.
* The Associated Press reported Thursday that Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona was arrested in the Dominican Republic for using a false identity. Reports say that Carmona's real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia and he is 31 years old instead of 28.
The Indians released this statement:
"We were recently made aware of the situation that occurred today in the Dominican Republic and are currently in the process of gathering information," said Cleveland Indians GM Chris Antonetti. "We are not prepared to make any additional comment at this time."
That's all for now. Keep checking back!

Sun-eating dragon takes direct path over Lassen County
For information about organizations offering eclipse viewing events, see this weeks' edition of the Lassen County Times. |
Some Australian aboriginal tribes, however, took a more romantic view and believed the sun and the moon made love during those moments when the moon passes between the Earth and sun, creating a shadow across the land.
Today, while most people find the mythology of an eclipse little more than old wives tales, and science gives us plenty of facts for its occurrence, a solar eclipse is, nevertheless, an occasion of beauty and mystery.
One moment the sun is shining, then the light fades, the birds grow silent and a black disc slides across the sun. The sky grows dark.
On Sunday, May 20, Lassen County residents will have prime seats for the annular "ring of fire" solar eclipse. The entire eclipse will last more than three hours.
However, prime viewing will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. with the ring of fire effect taking place close to 7:30 p.m. The centerline of the eclipse path will fall directly over Janesville. However, any place in the county should be excellent viewing.
This annular eclipse should not be confused with a total eclipse. With a total eclipse, the moon would need to be closer to the Earth and would completely cover the sun, casting a large shadow across the Earth. This annular eclipse will resemble a bulls-eye with a ring of the sun visible around the moon.
Andrew Hall, an astronomy instructor at Lassen Community College said, "In all honesty, any place with no obstructions are generally good viewing for a solar eclipse. The shadow's size makes viewing from anywhere in Susanville just fine. Just take a moment and search out a comfortable spot that avoids power-lines, trees or other man-made stuff that could get in the way. Oh, and don't forget your easy chair so your neck doesn't get sore."
The annual "ring of fire" eclipse will be the first solar eclipse visible in this part of the country in 18 years. Although, it will not be a full eclipse, it should, nevertheless, provide for spectacular viewing.
Probably the most important thing to remember for viewing the eclipse is never look at the sun with the naked eye. This includes using optical devices such as binoculars or a telescope.
Since this is a partial eclipse, there will be no safe time to look at the sun. Doing so can cause permanent eye damage or blindness.
The sun can be viewed only when using filters specifically designed for this purpose.
One of the easiest, and cheapest ways, of seeing the eclipse is with a "pinhole camera" that can be made from a box, aluminum foil and a sheet of white paper.
For information on making one, visit www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how.
Photographers will, no doubt, want to take advantage of this once in a lifetime event. Precautions should be used, however, as the same dangers apply for photography as looking at the sun with the naked eye. NASA's top eclipse expert, Fred Espenak, offers a guide to photographing any kind of solar eclipse easily and safely at mreclipse.com/MrEclipse.html.
Lassen Land and Trails Trust (LLTT) will be hosting the viewing at the Lassen Creek Conservation Area just off Richmond Rd. There is no fee; however, reservations are required to ensure enough viewing glasses and take-home literature about the event is available.
For more information, and to register for the viewing, visit llttweb.org or call 257-3252.

Election: Grossman is ready to help plan the Key's future
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
Larry Grossman feels compelled to help.
A planner for more than 30 years for the city of Alexandria, Va., Grossman believes as a Longboat Key commissioner he can assist the town now more than ever.
Grossman, who is challenging Mayor Jim Brown for his District 4 seat in March, says he has the planning skillset the town needs to navigate its code change and Comprehensive Plan process.
For starters, Grossman calls the current town codes a "mess" and believes the town needs to change its way of thinking.
He doesn't believe a planning consultant should be hired prematurely to help assist the town with its code changes.
"I don't think the town has a vision yet of what it wants," Grossman said.
Hiring an economic development consultant to assess the town's current business climate, followed by an assessment of tourism and residential components, Grossman said, should come first.
"I think I can change the way things are done here and get better results," Grossman said. "One of the top qualities of this island is its diversity, and we don't want to lose that."
To keep its diversity, Grossman believes the Planning, Zoning and Building Department is in need of more comprehensive demographic data to help zone the Key.
"Instead of treating the island as a whole, we should break it down into sections, or neighborhoods, and look at the relationship of nearby properties to those neighborhoods," Grossman said. "It's about being proactive and creating neighborhood plans that preserve character while also promoting change."
According to Grossman, the town could be more proactive by promoting the sale and rejuvenation of properties such as Whitney Beach Plaza and the vacant gas station parcel on the north end of the Key.
Grossman was so frustrated that the town and the Longboat Key Revitalization Task Force didn't do more to try and convince Publix Super Markets Inc. to help create a town center with the outlying parcels near Bay Isles Road that he left the task force as a member in what he called "a mutual decision."
"If I'm going to keep living here, some things have to change and ways of thinking have to change," Grossman said. "The town should be telling applicants, through its codes, as well, what it wants for certain properties."
Grossman plans to use some of the traits he used as a planner in Alexandria to help the town move forward.
In 1992, he helped the historic seaport city grow by engaging with residents to help revamp the city's Comp Plan. He also oversaw a sculpture program for the city's transit program. In addition, he helped garner federal funding for a historic train station; reviewed the installation of underground utilities; helped acquire land for parks; and tailored development districts that enticed developers to bring projects to fruition.
"We need something similar here," Grossman said. "We need to show developers what we want done so they can submit a concept plan that could lead to approval. We need to think outside the box."
Grossman has lived on St. Judes Drive since 2008 and frequently rides his bicycle the length of the Key. He takes mental pictures of what he sees and how the Key could be improved.
"As a planner, I lived and submersed myself in the community I planned for," Grossman said. "I'm ready to help plan this community's future."

Orford Reception
Posted 02 January 2010 - 08:17 PM
Whilst the TV tuned 5 TDT-SD and 50 ONE HD I cannot receive any visible signal.
Channels 62 7TWO, 80 WIN HD and 88 GO TAS suffer from pixelation and chirping sounds even without the wind, tonight with the high wind they are not watchable.
From reading this forum it seems I should ensure that the antenna is optimum before looking at masthead amplifiers.
Can anyone suggest what would be the best antenna for my situation or for that matter anything else I could do to improve reception?
Posted 02 January 2010 - 08:51 PM
What is your analog reception like?
It's possible you have the wrong antenna as analog is on band 5 and digital is on band 4 and the bottom end on band 5. Do you have a picture of your antenna?
Also check all connections for corrosion and make sure you are using 'F' connections and not the old Screw and saddle type.
The Fracarro Log Periodic band 4/5 model antenna is suitable for your area. Model Number LP45F, available from Active Electronics Components Hobart, 320 Elizabeth St.
Edited by Alista, 02 January 2010 - 09:01 PM.
Posted 03 January 2010 - 01:51 AM
I suggest you read Get the Best Reception, Regional Tas and read the links.
Do not buy the Fracarro Log Periodic band 4/5 model antenna it is not suitable for your area. Model Number LP45F I say this because the Orford transmitters are vertically polarised.
In the above post click on the V4+ link. Fracarro make phased arrays.
Posted 03 January 2010 - 07:24 AM
svh60, on Jan 2 2010, 09:17 PM, said:
For a similar low powered vertically polarised translator I install antennas for in the North end of the island, when there is no blocked path to the transmitter site, I use Fracarro LP45F's, as Alista suggested. (Any Australian made band 5 antenna would ordinarily do, as Moreys Hill digital is all in band 5)
When there is terrain or trees in the way, my choice is a Fracarro PU4AF, or ALCAD AP369, usually with a masthead amplifier. Again, most phased arrays would be suitable.
As has already been suggested, ensure your current reception set up meets industry standards.
If your TV is one that is capable of displaying reception parameters (ie signal strength/quality), these can be used as a guide. Even though these indicators are not necessary accurate to any traceable parameter, they can be useful within themselves.
The only way to determine the correct antenna is usually by a site test with a number of antennas to determine the most suitable one, particularly when there are trees between you and a low powered transmitter site. Positioning the antenna is the most important parameter, in some cases this can be other than on the roof of the property. This testing will also indicate if a masthead amplifier is required.
Interestingly, when faced with situations such as yours, it helps if it is windy when the site test is performed. This can aid with locating the antenna for minimum interruption to signals, which sometimes can not be avoided.
Posted 03 January 2010 - 10:56 AM
Thanks for the responses, they are really appreciated however they have raised further issues. If I have posted correctly a picture of my current antenna should be attached.
According to the reception strength indicator on my HDTV channels Channels 2 to 34, with the exception of 5 TDT-SD and 50 ONE HD, give full signal strength. Channels 60 to 88 give around 3/4 strength. Channels 5 TDT-SD and 50 ONE HD give no signal.
Analogue reception is very poor, not watchable.
Are Channels 5 TDT-SD and 50 ONE HD transmitted from Moreys Hill or are these very week signals from somewhere else?
I did read "Get the Best Reception, Regional Tas" prior to posting however the fringe area links from V4+ do not work.
There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether the LP45F is suitable for this area as the signal from Moreys Hill is vertically polarised. Looking at the Laceys catalogue I cannot find a LP45F, only a LP45HV and LP45N. Both of these can be mounted either horizontal or vertical. However they only seem to cover channels 28 to 69 whilst I need 2 to 88?
Similarly I can see a PU4A not a PU4AF. Does this only relate to the F connector? However once again it only seem to cover channels 28 to 69 whilst I need 2 to 88?

Posted 03 January 2010 - 11:28 AM
Ah...i think we have a small mis-undertanding here, the numbers you are seeing on your tv (8 for win and 5 for TDT) are Logical channel numbers not the actual channels that the translator at Moreys Hill transmits on.
The channels are transmitted on the following UHF TV channels, SBS: 37, ABC: 36, WIN: 43, TDT: 39, SCTV: 47.
This will mean for best results you will need a band 5 antenna.
I remember seeing antenna's at Orford, and Triabunna mounted on tree's, fences and watertanks....
Have Fun..
Posted 03 January 2010 - 11:28 AM
If analog is not good it tends to indicate a problem with the system.
The Laceys Tv catalogue is a bit out of date, the LP45HV is the older model with the direct coax connection which is no longer made. The LP45F is the newer model with the F connector.
Everything is transmitting from Moreys Hill.
The numbers you mentioned are the Locigal Channel Numbers (LCN) of each network. These are not the channels/frequency's the networks are transmitting on.
The channels for Moreys Hill Verical polarisation 150 watts directional EDIT: Chriswoo beat me to it
SCTV ch 47
TDT ch 39
WIN ch 43
ABC ch 36
SBS ch 37
You need an Australian band 5 antenna. Australian is important because many antennas are from overseas, such as Fracarro and the bands are different that's why the LP45 was mentioned instead of the LP5.

Have you ever had good analogue reception?
If you have, and it isn't now, something might be broken, from the new TV, to the flylead, and so on up the chain.
If your analogue has been poor previously, then something is wrong with your existing set-up, as mentioned before, antenna type, position of antenna etc.
A quick check shows you are around 7K from a 250 watt transmitter. Must be some blockage if the signals aren't making the trip.
What type of digital televsion do you have?

ACMA records state that Digital is 150 watts on all channels and 600 on analog. So there must be a problem if analog isn't working either.

Posted 03 January 2010 - 01:47 PM
Have never had really good analogue signal. When I purchased a set top box for my previous TV it was great to at last get a picture that was clear. Now have a JVC LCD.
Have checked the antenna and fly lead for continuity and that is okay
Because reception on channels 2 to 34 is good (unless it is windy and or raining) yet reception on channels 60 to 80 is poor could this point to the antenna being at fault. However this doesn't explain why 5 TDT-SD and 50 ONE HD are not being received.
Posted 03 January 2010 - 02:06 PM
You might need to take the outlet off the wall and check the connections. Ideally they should be F connectors.
Check antenna Balin for corrosion and make sure everything is in good condition. Might be good to spray the connection with some clear spray varnish (Chickenfeed stuff will do) so no corrosion occurs.
How old is the antenna? It looks like it's fairly new. I would have thought it would give a satisfactory analog signal.
How many points are there in the house? if there is more than one check the splitter in the roof for problems.
Good Luck

Moreys Hill shows ~250W digital, ~1000 W for analogue when I interrogate ACMA
svh60, on Jan 3 2010, 02:47 PM, said:
Is the TV connected direct to the flylead, or does it go through another item of equipment, such as a VCR, that may be interfering with the TDT signal?
You could try manual tune of the channels already given here, and see what happens. I have no experience with JVC digital TVs, so am unable to give an opinion about their performance ability.
Cluttered environments can be responsible for selective attenuation (ie loss of or reduced performance on one or more channels), which can be accentuated by wind & rain. Vertical polarisation may also be a factor, owing to non-wanted reflections from plane surfaces.
Failing equipment failure, it is all about position and type of antenna. Blockage of the signal does not help. Expert assistance may be required.

No worries.
I won't be too pedantic about it, as others have pointed out around here, ACMA data can be incorrect.
I'm always amused when the EIRP is specified to within a picowatt!

Anyway it doesn't sound like we've found a solution to SVH's problem...
Posted 03 January 2010 - 05:05 PM
The antenna flylead goes directly from the wall outlet to the TV and there is only one outlet and one TV.
I have checked the connection at both the antenna and the wall plate and they are both okay. What I did find however is that the antenna needed to be realigned slightly.
Channels 5 and 50 are now present but pixelated. Not much wind at the moment so cannot tell if the other channels will suffer from signal degredation when it is windy or wet but I rather suspect that they will.
Don't know of any local antenna technician here but if I ask around I am sure that someone will know.
Does anyone know if the PU4AF is stocked by anyone in Hobart. I may just buy one and give it a try.
Once again many thanks.

Google ERP and EIRP and you will see that they are different! Television and radio services are normally specified in ERPs while other radcom services are specified in EIRP. The ACMA broadcast docs will use ERP but the ACMA online interface for all radcoms services defaults to EIRP.
Obviously the online tool doesn't round the EIRP when converted from ERP. Presumably rounding could be a problem when some services may be licensed to fractions of a Watt.

If you do, ensure you also get item PVP to mount the antenna in the vertical plane. Don't be overly surprised, however, if it does not fix things when mounted on the same pole as your existing antenna.

Lauren Berger wasn't born royalty—she earned it.
The self professed "intern Queen" (and CEO of the eponymous internship placement and job board site) worked no fewer than 15 internships during her four years of undergrad. Now she wants to help you get your dream gig.
"For me, I wouldn't have known how to run my business if I hadn't had so many internships," the mogul says. Her resume boasts stints with MTV, NBC, FOX, and BWR Public Relations, where she had the privilege of observing "several very impressive, top executives make money and do their jobs."
Since open season for applying to many coveted summer internships is just around the corner, we sat down with Berger and asked for her secrets to winning—and taking full advantage of—the best internships out there.
Here are her five tips for internship success--and beyond:
1. Start Small
Berger recommends taking advantage of smaller, local opportunities first. "It's a matter of putting one foot in front of the other and starting with baby steps, just like anything else in life," she says. Once you have practical experience under your belt in your field, you'll be in a much better position to win "the big national opportunities," Berger advises.
And if you do get an opportunity to work for a big name company, weigh the amount of meaningful work and learning you'll get to do before accepting. According to Berger, "You want to go with the opportunity that's going to be the best experience for you--not necessarily the company that you're going to brag about."
2. Social Media Is Your Friend
"There's a lot of cool companies and brands and magazines that are finding students on Twitter or on Facebook," Berger says. She recommends getting on a favorite company's radar slowly at first, by "liking" them on Facebook and following them on Twitter. This will give you a better feel for corporate culture and current events with the brand.
Try re-tweeting a few of the company's to get your name out there first, then, try a direct message.
"You only have 140 characters, so it can't be too professional and polished," Berger says, "But just to say "I'm a big fan of your company and I'd love to find out more about internship opportunities."" That should be enough to get a response with an email address or application info."
And don't hesitate to take advantage of the point of contact. "Brands are spending a lot of money learning how to master the art of social media and learning how to engage and recruit." Berger reassures us. (Side note: she's right—our Social Media Survey has the stats).
3. Spread a lot of Seeds… and Don't Forget to Water Them
"Especially right now, it's the most competitive internship season we've seen yet, I always encourage interns to apply for at least 10 opportunities for the summer," says Berger.
But quantity should never supersede quality, and you should be customizing each cover letter. Otherwise, you may be like many students Berger encounters, "applying to a gazillion internships at once, and addressing a cover letter for Seventeen magazine to Marie Claire," she recounts. Other no-nos: spelling errors and unexplained out-of-state addresses. They're the stuff of "trash can resumes," as Berger refers to them.
When in doubt, remember: "The employer doesn't want to have to do any extra work," says Berger. "They don't want to look at your resume and say, "this seems difficult." You want to make it sound as easy and seamless as possible."
Likewise, don't expect a list of achievements or skills to resonate with the company you're sending them too. "Yes, you might be hardworking and very reliable, but how does that benefit the company?" points out Berger. "Always bring it back to the employer."
4. Go In With a Plan
"I think it's a really common thing that students get the internship and say, "Okay, we're done,"" Berger notes. "Then they have the internship, but they don't really know what to do with the opportunity or how to make the most of it. And then it's over."
The antidote: a list of learning objectives. Berger suggests a general goal of building a few good relationships before the internship ends, in addition to a few skills you'd like to learn or achievements that could give you a leg up for the next job.
"If you're going into a magazine internship, maybe your goal is to sit in on an editorial meeting, or to get one clip published in the magazine," Berger says. "… it's all about using your resources and making the most of everything that's put in front of you."
5. Use Your Time Wisely
Berger, who doubled and tripled up on internships during undergrad, knows a thing or two about time management. "There is time in the day," she insists. "You have to be willing to sacrifice some things." Time is the most valuable resource any of us has, she says, and she encourages students to think twice before saying "yes" to invitations. "Who do you really want to spend your time with?" she asks. "Once you do figure that out, I don't think it's as hard to manage your time. It's just who and what your priorities are." she says.
It's also important to make the most of your time on the job—which is where that list of objectives comes in handy. "Once they have that list and they're at their internship and they're bored," Berger says, "it's a matter of scheduling time to sit down with the internship coordinator and go over that list saying, "These are the things I want to do—can I do them?"
If you're eager to learn and clear about what you enjoy, you may be surprised at how willing your boss is to let you do it.

10th District Air War Picking Up for Dold, Schneider
Schneider and Dold already have five commercials on television.
Commercials for Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) and Democratic challenger Brad Schneider of Deerfield are starting to hit the airwaves in the 10th Congressional District as both candidates try to chart a course of independence and bipartisanship.
Nowhere in any of the five commercials aired so far—three by Dold and two from Schneider—is the word Democrat or Republican mentioned. Neither are the words progressive or tea party used in the spots in this race drawing national attention.
Earlier: Campaign Intensifies for Schneider, Dold
"What you see now is fighting and gridlock," Schneider said in his first commercial. "I'll work with everyone. Democrat, Republican as long as they have a good idea."
Dold offers a similar message. "The politicians in Springfield and Washington are just standing around bickering," Dold said in his third commercial. "To create jobs we need to work together." View all five spots by clicking on the appropriate link with this story.
With the Nov. 6 election 41 days away, Patch readers will see a lot of those commercials with Dold already committed to spending more than $1.8 million and groups committed to Schneider more than that.
Patch is also doing its best to keep readers informed and up to date with new and background information about the 10th District Race, Dold and Schneider.

Gridlock is a feature, not a bug. When fewer instances of distortionary legislation pass through, it limits the damage the swinish Napoleons can inflict.

LOL - sorry, couldn't even read this when I saw two headlines on its page:
1) "The Schneider Shenanigans"
2) "Support Freedom" (in case some of you are against it)
I'm sure I'm missing out on a very informative and fact-based piece of writing that has no biases whatsoever, but I'll take my chances.

Here's the filing straight from the democrat horse's mouth. He's showing zero income for both businesses. How does that square with his self-description as a small businessman?
Guido McGinty
10:18 am on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Based on his disclosures, there are one or two questions that need to be asked of Schneider.
Here's another good question for the small businessman:
What is your view on regulation and how it's used to crush small business by setting up artificial barriers for larger companies to retain market share?
10:43 am on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Gridlock is free, super majorities of Democrats costs 5 trillion or more. Give me gridlock, please.

Being an independent, I don't believe that Schneider himself is. He is a far left progressive and has proven himself to be so.
5:45 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
It's time to put the House back in control of the Democrats, so gridlock can end. The Freshman Class (Mr. Dold's) has been obstructing. As far as Mr. Dold, his endorsement by the Tea Party last time around pretty much seals the deal....for Brad Schneider.
10:34 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Actually, it was Reid in the house obstructing most everything. The House would send bills over and he would just sit on them - not even letting them come up for a vote. The Senate hasn't even don't anything about a budget in THREE YEARS.

9:51 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
A vote for Democrat Brad Schneider is a vote for Nancy Pelozzi. Remember, House Speaker, Nancy Pelozzi (infamously) said, "We will have to pass the healthcare bill to find out what is in it." What is in it? --- 2700 pages of incomprehensible rules,mandates, regulations, and fines! So much for liberty; the healthcare "czar" (HHS Secretary) is writing the bill as we speak.

@ Guido McGinty: You say "the Democrat is showing zero income for both businesses. How does that square with his self-description as a small businessman?" Well...let's see small business owner Robert Dold: in 2010 his Rose Pest Solutions had $0 income even though they had $1.8 mil revenues only in the Northfield office. how did they manage to come up with expenses greater than that? (we know why...to pay $0 in income tax)...
And how can Dold be a "small business" owner when Rose Pest has offices in Illinois...and Kentucky...and Indiana...and Pennsylvania...and Michigan...and Ohio...Just because their websites claim "locally-owned" in their particular states, it doesn't make them so. Dold is flithy rich, and good for him, but don't act like you pay any taxes or that you own a little shop in the 10th District because you are misleading the voters.
Guido McGinty

OK great. I'm not sure why you quoted my question without addressing it.
"they had $1.8 mil revenues only in the Northfield office. how did they manage to come up with expenses greater than that?"
Spoken like a guy that's never had to meet a payroll.

- Salaries
- Benefits
- Rent
- Equipment
- Materials
- Asset Depreciation
Let's just look at salaries. Maybe there are 10 people, at $50,000 average a year, plus say $10,000/year for benefits, gets you to $600,000. One third of your "revenues" gone before even taking into account "raw materials" / supplies (pesticide, gloves, breathers, etc). Also, say they purchased vehicles. They are not allowed to take the full expense of the vehicle as a business expense when purchased, instead they must depreciate over a set number of years.

8:32 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
@ "un"rational thought: Salaries you say? The bastard Dold CUT salaries and stopped paying overtime. Pesticides cost about $3 per job (house) and there was not an explosion of new customers. Rest is $0 as he owns the building. Benefits are $0 except for his mom, Judy Dold who is "chairwoman" (sic). Materials, the sprayer actually is $225 and was bought in...maybe 1995 because they all were almost broke...ask the techs. Cars...same crap, 150.000 miles on them except the two new trucks bought for...vice president and office manager to go home and back 9they don't serve customers). Breathers...who ever used those? (by the way ask Dold when was last time he bought the filters necessary? 1983? :) You, and guido, speak as you never worked for Dold. I wish you never do...it will make a Democrat out of you, quick :) I tell you how they blew a $1.8 mil income in one year: salaries to him, to his mom, to his dad (some type of co-owner or something)...and voala, no money for pay increase, or pay (they cut the pay), or overtime, or decent trucks,. The bastards even started charging techs $22 per month for uniform cleaning even though we cleaned them at home, as always. Dold is a crook my friends, I worked for him, I know and you guys are idiots who will vote for him no matter what you hear about him.
9:40 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
@supporter (athletic type?) - You seem to be spouting a lot of "facts" - makes me wonder where you are pulling them from.

Why I don't vote: reason # 45,835. These people are too stupid to breathe.

8:39 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
guido you will vote, for Dold. Stop discouraging others to vote...are you afraid a larger turnout will dump Dold from office? It seems like. You are as independent as Dold :) I give you some homework: find Dave Smith, tech @ Rose Pest. After 25 years of service, the poor bastard had his pay reduced to "brand-new" tech...yeap, that's how Dold rewards those who gave him 25 years of service. Why? Money...he needed more money for himself...maybe for the lawyer to defend against the overtime lawsuit :) If Dold treats someone who made him money for 25 years with a pay cut all the way down at the start...how decent is that guy? Dold is a greedy maniac who deserves to be kicked out of office but you're too dense in the head to see it so go on, atack anyone exposing Dold while encouraging the rest not to vote :)
Guido McGinty

"you will vote"
That would require me to register. You have a better chance of hitting the lottery. I couldn't care less about the outcome in any election. Freedom will take a hit either way.
Voting is a violent act. You're picking your preferred flavor of coercion to inflict on your fellow citizens. I will not be a part of violence and I will not sanction the evil of two lessers.
Further, I often hear that you must vote in order to complain later. This is precisely backwards.
If you vote, you are sanctioning the process with an implicit agreement to live with the result.
If I don't sanction such shenanigans, I absolutely have the right to complain about the coercive violence that is inflicted upon me and my family.

11:50 pm on Saturday, September 29, 2012
@rational tht: Rose Pest, Dold's mom & pop company (not his), is using Talstar-the cheapest insecticide there is. Techs there have to beg for Termidor and for weeks "is not available"...and is not easy to get Tempo either...Rose doesn't order it...you don't have it so that's why you have techs sprinkling some granules around homes and calling it "ouside service!" Dold is trying to squize every dime posible by cuting all corners there are...product, service, paychecks. He is a joke of a businessman...a cheap crook, that's all. (oh...the new trucks were bought for Larry Hanks and Bill Hastings. they need to carry their worthless butts home in style while techs drive junks that make even homeless people spit with disgust. Dold is not only cheap, he is also an idiot for being penny wise and dollar stupid. Hanks is unlikely to have his contract renewed this Dec and Hastings got demoted a few months back...but they have new trucks :)

I want to ask why Steve Sadin or any other Patch reporter has not investigated Brad Schneider's business record?
9:27 am on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Probably the same reason they have not investigated Dold's true meaningful voting record and the Tea Party support he enjoyed when he first ran for election.
Guido McGinty
11:52 am on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
"I want to ask why Steve Sadin or any other Patch reporter has not investigated Brad Schneider's business record?"
Math is hard. When Schneider puts himself out as a small businessman with zero revenue in 2010 or 2011, no one wants to add those numbers together. It'll take all day.

The telephone system at the Scotland County Sheriff's was down for much of Tuesday, officials with the law enforcement agency said.
Officials are hoping the telephone system will be operational today.
Those unable to get through, can dial 277-2580. The 911 system continues to operate.
The sheriff's office had been unable to receive calls on its normal telephone lines since the system went down. Work to install a new phone system at the department apparently knocked out the system, officials said.
"We apologize for any inconvenience the outage may have caused," Jones said.

Woman charged with leaving disabled adults in van during Thursday's heat

As temperatures hovered around 100, an Elgin woman left four mentally challenged adults under her care in a van outside the Walmart in Evergreen Park on Thursday while she went inside to shop, authorities said.
Evergreen Park police say Kathy Reed, 47, left the four adults she cared for at a Blue Island facility outside the store, 2500 W. 95th St., while she bought a grill and some charcoal.
"Obviously, they couldn't take care of themselves," Evergreen Park Police Sgt. Jack McCarthy said.
Reed is charged with criminal neglect of a person with disabilities, Cook County State's Attorney spokesman Andy Conklin said.
Judge Terence B. Smith set her bail Friday morning at $20,000, he said. She returns to the county courthouse in Bridgeview on July 18.
About 3:45 p.m. Thursday, while the temperature was 99 and the heat index exceeded 110, Reed drove four of her clients to the store in a van without air conditioning, McCarthy said. She went in to do some shopping, leaving the four outside in the van for 37 minutes, McCarthy said. A good Samaritan noticed the vehicle with the four people inside and called police, McCarthy said.
The officer on the scene tried to speak with the people inside, but they weren't able to communicate, McCarthy said.
Reed returned to the vehicle, carrying a grill and some charcoal, McCarthy said.
"We're lucky that the complaintant called us," he said. "It just gets too hot inside a car."
