text: I am a 55 year old woman, single , with no children. I live alone and value my friendships. I have a friend my exact same age. I just don't know if the friendship is worth keeping or not. Several months ago, she asked me to eat out with her on a certain night. I scheduled my entire day around that, and didn't hear from hear at all. So I finally texted her and asked what was up. She said she forgot and was at her mother's eating. I told her that I had waited all day. She said that I should not have gotten upset, that she just forgot. I would have never done that to her, and if I had, I would have been more apologetic about it. Then I almost cancelled a trip with her in July, when she told me what I could pack and bring on the trip and also told me that she wouldn't be using the air conditioner on the trip?! Well i went anyway and a friend of hers went with us. She did not tell me until time to go home that we would be making a 4 hour detour to take him home. I assumed that he had driven to her house. So what should have been an hour trip without a/c became a 5 hour trip without a/c, and I became so hot and sick that I could not eat. I have diabetes [2] and am supposed to eat every 4 hours at least. I would think it would be a money thing not to turn a/'c on, but I paid for the gas for the entire trip. She finally turned it on when we were almost home but it was almost too late then. She said that just she and I would go back to the mountains in October. In the meantime she started seeing a new guy, and all of a sudden she has no time for me anymore, and I did not hear from hear for weeks, except on Facebook, when she would "like" a post. Then she sent me a text asking for the name of a cabin in the mountains and I thought she was making reservations for the two of us. Friday night, I was in a bad automobile accident and sent her a text asking if she could pick me up from the hospital if it wasn't too late. I did not hear from her for hours, then when she did text she said that she was with her new boyfriend, sorry. I called a cab home in the meantime. She did pick me up from the library, about 1/2 mile from her house, and took me home, 1 mile away the next day. this morning she asked if I needed anything, and I asked her to give me a ride to the library again. My car was totalled [2] and I do not have a rental car [2] yet. She showed up to pick me up talking on the phone and I heard her tell someone that she would be out of town from the next day till next week. I asked her after she hung up where she was going. She said she was going to the mountains. I asked her if she was going with the new boyfriend, and she confirmed that. I asked her if that meant that she and I were not longer going, and she said yes, sorry. I do not feel that she was obligated to go with me, but that she was obligated to let me know right away that she and I were not going. I also said that i never thought that she was the kind of woman that made her friends 2nd class citizens when she had a new boyfriend. I told her that and she said that she did not mean to hurt my feelings. and said with the wreck made my schedule unpredictable. the wreck just happened a few days ago and I was not badly hurt. I asked her via text when she planned to tell me that we were not going together and she never answered. I am happy that she has a new boyfriend, but I feel that I am being treat badly. I have a boyfriend, too, but I make time for friends. What should I do?

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Nothing here. First regular season softball game tonight. We'll be flying out the door after school and get home about 10:00 tonight. I have no idea what we'll eat or when we'll get it.
|Mon, 03-18-2013 - 6:31am
Not 100% sure. WE have someone coming over the house at 5:30 pm tonight. Depending upon how long it takes we will either go out for a quick bite after or I will make something easy. We do have a winer storm warning coming in so all plans could change.
|Mon, 03-18-2013 - 6:04am
Hmmmm.... looks like there is a great chance the game will be canceled. It's supposed to rain all day. There is a huge thunderstorm starting up right now. Big thunder booms going on.
My backup plan will be spaghetti made with ground turkey. I can defrost some turkey in the microwave quickly if that's the case.

How to Stamp with Bleach
By: Maria Nerius
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Rubberstampers are always looking for "new" inks to try. Bleach can be used as an ink creating an image with its color removing qualities. Practice this technique and you'll love the unique results.
The Right Stamp
A stamp with intricate details might not be the best stamp to learn bleach stamping. You can use a stamp with intricate details, but you need to be very careful not to "over ink" the stamp with bleach. You'll lose all those tiny details you love. Start with a stamp that has some solid design and as you learn to control inking your stamp with bleach, go for the stamp with more detailing.
The Right Paper
Bleach stamping is created when the bleach removes the color of the paper leaving an image. Dark papers are best when learning the technique, but experiment as you feel more confident with the bleaching process.
Pad Method
Using an un-inked purchased inkpad or a piece of thick felt placed inside bowl or container pour enough bleach over pad to moisten it. You don't want the bleach inkpad to be sloppy or have bleach seeping over the side of the contain. Test your pad with a rubberstamp. Too much bleach and you will get a white blob with no image details and too little bleach will only yield you a very faint shadowy image.
Brush Method
Apply the bleach direct to your stamp using a soft bristle brush. A light touch and you'll get the results you are looking for. Again, you don't want to overload the stamp with bleach as it will drip or give you a blotchy image. Many stampers use water pens filled with bleach, but don't leave the bleach in the pen after you finish for the day.

By Josiah M. Hesse
I'm always elated when I leave one of Thaddeus Phillips's productions. It's something about the way he fuses intellect and feeling with an entirely original vision of the world. Or the sense of possibility he excites by making theater out of flour sacks and dented desks, toy airplanes, his own voice and body, memory, clips and strings, bits of books, interviews, politics, loaded images and the vagaries of the human psyche. Perhaps it's simpler than that. Perhaps the way he plays with objects and distorts our sense of scale plunges us back into the rapt absorption with which we explored the world as children. But there's a heady sense of intellectual exploration here, too.
When I got home from seeing The Earth's Sharp Edge at Buntport, I told my husband I'd had a wonderful evening. He wanted to know what was so wonderful about it. Well, I said, it's about this guy -- Phillips himself -- who gets stopped by airport security after a visit to Morocco; he's carrying a book called Extreme Islam, and the book has a story in it about Leila Khaled, a Palestinian woman who hijacked two planes, one in 1969, the other in 1970. The more he explains, the more suspicious the security guard gets, and this predicament is the frame for the action. But there are also video and audio clips from the movie Casablanca; they, too, frame the action. The guard wants to know what the man was doing in Morocco, and as the man describes his settling into a hotel room, his ventures into the marketplace and his interactions with various Arab vendors, these things are re-enacted in front of us. Leila Khaled emerges silently from a suitcase, and now scenes from her life and her hijackings are interwoven with the protagonist's story. How is it all done? Through improvised action and the magical use of objects. Videotaped scenes of daily life in Marrakesh play on several small screens. Two tables serve as hotel-room beds, panels in the back of a TWA plane, and platforms on which cast members sit or stand. Toy airplanes are held aloft by actors to represent Israeli aircraft escorting one of Khaled's hijacked planes. The contents of a suitcase fly into the air, creating a patchwork canopy. A man is asked to empty his suspiciously heavy suitcases onto a table; it turns out they contain nothing but sand. Within minutes the table is a miniature desert, and then there's a small miracle of shadow play created by a single flashlight.
Phillips studied puppetry in Prague. As evidenced by his past work, he's also very fond of shoes.
What is this play about? Airport security, obviously, with some funny and penetrating comparisons of flight in the late '60s with flight today. The plight of the Palestinians. Language. Repression versus freedom of speech and movement. The author/producer's fascination with travel and other cultures.
And there's the emotional link, which has something to do with love, between the fictive Phillips and his image of the 24-year-old Leila Khaled. Khaled, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was an iconic figure during the revolutionary late '60s and early '70s, a beautiful woman willing to sacrifice her life for her cause. Although the PFLP is a hard-line revolutionary group, Khaled was instructed to protect the passengers' lives during her two hijack attempts. The only death that occurred was that of her Nicaraguan companion, Patrick Arguello, during the second hijacking; he was shot four times by guards. Khaled's actions are romanticized in The Earth's Sharp Edge, but they're also treated with humor. We see her fear and confusion, her comic miscalculations once she's invaded the cockpit during the first hijacking. Imprisoned in Ealing, London (she was eventually freed by Prime Minister Edward Heath in a hostage exchange), she offers dating advice to the women guarding her.
Most of all, however, I think The Earth's Sharp Edge is about maps, borders and crossings, the interstices between one place, time, way of thought or state of being and another -- those liminal places where certainties dissolve and new understanding becomes possible. The performing area itself turns into such a space, designated as an independent country with its own secret service, border patrol and (often hilariously irregular) entry requirements. Maps are particularly evocative. At one point, Phillips engages in a discussion in French, English and Arabic with a passionate Moroccan who insists that our sense of the world as a globe is inherently oppressive, with those at the top of the orb feeling superior to those inhabiting countries lower down. "We have to rethink our map," he insists. As for Khaled, she'll continue her fight "until the map has room for me on it." And finally, the customs official figures out Phillips: "You're really making a map of the world for yourself, aren't you, sir?"

13 Reported Dead, 10 Injured After Pickup Crashes In Texas
By Mark Memmott
A pickup truck overloaded with 23 men, women and children who authorities suspect were in the country illegally crashed Sunday in south Texas. There are reports now, from KSAT-TV in San Antonio and other local news outlets, that 13 people are dead and 10 injured.
"The truck left the roadway and struck two very large trees" in Goliad County, Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Gerald Bryant told the San Antonio Express-News.
"This is the most people I've seen in any passenger vehicle, and I've been an officer for 38 years," Bryant said earlier, according to The Associated Press.

Ireland will likely be the fastest growing country in the eurozone, with Irish GDP set to increase by 1.9pc in 2015 and then by 2.5pc and 2.8pc in 2016 and 2017 respectively, according to the spring EY Eurozone Forecast (EEF) today.
Although the Eurozone is now growing, it is still expected to lag well behind other major economies during the recovery, the forecast said.
It shows that Eurozone GDP in 2018 will be only about 5pc above its pre-financial crisis peak in Q1 2008.
After two years of decline, the forecast predicts growth of 1pc in the Eurozone 2014, followed by a pick-up to 1.4pc in 2015, before moderately increasing to 1.6pc a year in 2016-18.
However, there are reasons for cautious optimism as there will be a gradual recovery in consumer spending and business investment.
"Ireland is continuing to pull ahead of the other peripheral Eurozone countries in emerging from the crisis. The recovery in domestic demand appears to now be more firmly entrenched, while net trade will continue contributing positively to the economy," the report said.
Tom Rogers, senior economic adviser to the EY Eurozone Forecast said that the eurozone recovery is likely to gather momentum this year but risks to the forecast do remain.
"While the risks of a breakup have diminished and some of the peripheral countries have surprised on the upside, deflation and unemployment will remain ongoing concerns."
Mike McKerr, Managing Partner, EY Ireland said that, although the overall outlook remains patchy, there is finally some more positive news to report in this forecast, particularly in the peripheral countries in the Eurozone.
"As their economies continue to rebalance and their labor forces become more competitive, businesses from Ireland, the rest of the Eurozone and other parts of the world could gain a competitive advantage by expanding operations or exporting into these countries," he said.
The forecast predicts a variable pace of recovery across different member states. Divergence is nothing new, but the divide is no longer simply between the core and peripheral countries. Some of the peripheral countries that have implemented painful reforms in recent years, notably Spain and Ireland, are benefiting as world trade picks up. EEF now expects Spain to return to growth of 0.8pc.The fastest growth in the Eurozone is expected to be seen in the newest member, Latvia, which is projected to grow by over 4pc, followed by Estonia at 2.5pc.
By contrast, GDP growth in France is forecast at only 0.7pc, below the Eurozone average. Other core countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands and Finland, are also set to experience very subdued growth, adding to concerns about their medium term prospects.
Growth in 2014 will initially be led by exports. This will be helped by the pickup in world demand, particularly in the US, which is expected to grow by around 3pc. Exports have been an important driver of the recovery in peripheral countries, and they will benefit further if a weaker euro makes their products more attractive on the global market. Exports are expected to grow across the Eurozone to 3.5pc in 2014 and 4.1pc in 2016.

The Philip Defranco Show, hosted by Philip Defranco on the YouTube channel sxephil, is a irreverent "newsy-type" program, with a new episode every Monday through Thursday plus occasional bonus weekend content. Often posted with a thumbnail of an intentionally attention-grabbing and misleading hot girl and and equally misleading title, the show rarely takes itself seriously.In every show, Phil picks three to five current news items and gives each of them a brief (1-2 minute) treatment, with his own, frequently acerbic, opinions and commentary added on. Interspersed with these are recurring segments like "Today in Awesome", where he highlights something cool that he's found; "BAMF/Douchebag of the Day", where he discusses particularly heroic and/or vile individuals; and "Sexy Time News", where he shows photos or video of an attractive woman (or occasionally man). Each item is accompanied by a link in the description to further details. Finally, Phil asks a Question of the Day and invites audience participation via the comments section, with a selection of comments from the previous day's show displayed at the end.The Philip Defranco Show, or PDS, has become popular enough over its multi-year run that Defranco has been invited to do news shows at various political events, including the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. It has spun off additional channels, such as SourceFed (multiple daily news videos), SourceFed Nerd (like SourceFed but for games, movies, and tech), and ForHumanPeoples (a variety channel as well as the name of his merch company).

Nicki Minaj Holds Onto Love (and Pop) on 'Pills N Potions'
"'The Pink Print' will remind people why they fell in love with Nicki Minaj," says Nicki Minaj
One way for Nicki Minaj to end the debate over whether she's better as a flat-out rapper or as a pop star might be to split the difference. "Pills N Potions," the latest from the "Super Bass" stunner, doesn't necessarily epitomize this idea, but it pulls off the pretty neat trick of being a romantic piano ballad that's also framed in the druggy imagery of mixtape rap, and while Minaj's rise-above-the-haters rapping here won't turn the heads of anyone who has heard her in full "rappity rap" mode, she still raps. The concept is a bit tangled — we're overdosing, she's angry but she still loves you, she's getting high on your memory ... wait, how does this all fit together, exactly? — bu when we hear that Rihanna-like "I still lo-uh-uh-ve" hook blasting out of car windows this summer? We'll probably still lo-uh-uh-ve it.
"Pills N Potions" veers off from the style of Minaj's other recent tracks, which have been more of the rapper-eating, "Old Nicki" variety, but it could be a sing of what's to come from the rapper-singer-former American Idol judge. Lately she has turned up on the ferocious, minimalist "Chi Raq," the controversy-sparking "Lookin Ass Nigga," and with verses on Soulja Boy's "Yass Bish" and Young Money's "Senile." But she told Rap-Up TV (via Rolling Stone) that this "soulful" and "uplifting" song is an "a great indicator of what [forthcoming album] The Pink Print will feel like in terms of the storyline of that song." She said of the record, which has no official release date yet, "The Pink Print will remind people why they fell in love with Nicki Minaj, and I think that needs to be done."

Tebow to Jacksonville?

I agree with what your saying, but think about it from the coaches perspective.

It puts a lot of stress on a defense to say every game, "OK, hold these guys under 20 and then Tebow will steal it at the end. But you MUST keep it under 20!" That's not a realistic way to construct a team. By the end of last season, the formula was starting to fail (see the 7-3 loss to the Chiefs and blow-out loss to the Bills).
Tebow is 9-7 as a starter (including playoffs), so let's not pretend he's the golden egg who can't lose. He also closed with a 1-4 stretch last season, including multiple blow-out losses. Also, Vince Young "just won," too. The reality is that as with Young, there were other factors at play that lead to those winning records. All last season proved was that Tebow sucked less than Orton. I imagine he would have sucked less than Sanchez, too, if given the chance. Again, I like Tebow and hope someone gives him a real chance over a full season running an offense designed around him, but this "he just wins" thing is over-simplified at best.
I've never heard people talk about losing "streaks" which include a playoff win sandwiched in the middle. At least 2/3rds of playoff teams go 1-1 or worse in the playoffs.

When I quickly went on Facebook Monday morning, a stunning revelation was unfolding. Improbably, FGCU was playing Florida. Not only were these two Florida schools playing each other, but this seemingly innocuous game has turned into the snarkiest Facebook war of words I've seen in awhile.
Although FGCU is not without fault, the really surprising part of this budding rivalry is the UF alumni, who have improbably become the low-brow ones in this war of words. Instead of a simple acknowledgement that FGCU has played extraordinarily well for two straight games, the "Harvard of the South" contingent has come out of the woodwork en masse proclaiming their superiority over their feeble minded counterparts. In full disclosure, I like UF, and I would have attended Florida if I didn't go to Boston College. But this enormous Gator ego deserves to get stomped Friday at 9:45 in Cowboys Stadium.
I do not condone anything written below. With no further adieu, I'd like to present the levels of snarky Facebook posts (in order from least snarky to most snarky):
1. The completely acceptable "End the Madness" post
2. The Creative and Mildly Disturbing Allegory post
3. The "Spraying Bullets Over Your Team and College Career" post
4. The Entirely Dismissive and Uncreative "We are Better than You" post
Here's to you Sherwood, Sherwood's speeches and tongue, Coach Enfield, Coach Enfield's wife, and the rest of Dunk City. It's time shoot down the Gator Hubris (as well as my bracket) and let FSU do the dancing.

"We have some plans," O'Brien says. "We'll be doing a studio album real soon."
"It's still in the discussion stages," McGerry adds.
"That's 'cause we're all lazy bastards," Meehan finishes with a nod.
The chemistry on-stage is equaled in the conversation, as the bandmates have a tendency to finish one another's sentences and riff on what each of the others has to say. Admittedly, though, the one who opens his mouth the most is Meehan.
"Something that's underplayed about Mick is his storytelling ability, both in his songs and about his songs," McGerry says. "He's got a great knowledge of history."
"Every rebel song has a story," Meehan says, referring to the types of fight-for-your-rights, workingman's tunes he usually sings, "but politics don't enter into it. I'd be the happiest man alive if we got rid of all the politicians and the lawyers. There's no room for politics in music. Music is pure, end of story."

A couple of (it has to be said, clumsy) models from BAE:
It's still very much ongoing. The last I heard was a defence minister Peter Luff on 16 May.
The Type 26 global combat ship is in the assessment phase at the moment, and we are working extremely hard to see whether we can build it in partnership with other nations. I cannot go into too much detail at the moment, because much of it is commercially sensitive, but I can assure the hon. Lady that as part of our defence diplomacy initiative, it appears to be going rather well.
A couple of (it has to be said, clumsy) models from BAE:
Beautiful ship. Looks like a scaled down Type 45, too.
What are the systems between the main gun and the VLS ?
strange layout for these VLS BTW (side by side)
nice ship though
torpedo lauchers I guess
There's going to be 3 versions; General Purpose, Anti-Submarine, and Air Defence.
You can see the torpedo tubes in a sort of ''B+'' pos! I would be disappointed if that's where they are on the genuine vessel, the current launch system on the T23 is absolutely fantastic, and why they wouldn't retain it on the T26 is beyond me.
The final design may be very different (we've already seen changes from the renders of a few months ago (Phalanx siting being an obvious one).
These are going to be absolutely fantastic ships, I don't doubt that. I just hope that a) the cost can be controlled, and b) we can turn it into an export success.
If those two objects are supposed to represent torpedo tubes,then I agree with you. They are sited in the most ridiculous position.
Also why do they have to have a seperate mini hangar for the UAV,I would have thought one large hangar would provide more space overall. After all CVF or any other aircraft carrier doesn't have seperate hangars for different aircraft.
I see they are now talking £300m per ship as opposed to the £500m put forward by BAE, I can't for the life of me see that as the final price if our previouse builds are anything to go by.
As far as exports are concerned,IMHO the only hope is to get customers in from the design onwards so that they can have input on what their countries needs are. That is the only way that we will be able to compete against vessels already building such as FREM.
My guess is room for expansion.
Lastly in this day and age of reducing radar (not LO) the model can be improved. The sides of the bridge, blinds for the Harpoons. The fire director looks huge and there is an exposed basic radar?
The following was post by 'Troothsayer' 06/06/11
An interesting little snippet by Liam Fox during a Q&A session at the recent ISS conference.
Regarding the FPDA, there is no doubt that we have a great potential for cooperation not least in the maritime domain. We have already had discussions on the procurement front about how, with the adoption of the Global Combat Ship, the Type 26, being developed in the United Kingdom we can effectively perform the maritime equivalent of JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) i.e. a common but variable basic vessel How we start to look at joint training, more joint exercises, procurement and doctrine. We have already discovered some fairly rich seams where we think that we can work together.
Apparently this was said in the company of the Australian defence sec,Stephen Smith. Could this be a hint at something going on there.

The First Sea Lord has confirmed that the RN is set to receive 13 Type 26 Frigates. This comes as a relief/nice surprise, and I only hope it's not at the expense of another programme.
So when he is called into No 10 by the PM who lets it be known that he has been given a dressing down,thus further publicly humiliating him it shows the esteem that this government hold our armed forces in.
Only Yesterday Cameron was presenting wings to RAF pilots who have just complete their courses,to be told today that these same 30 pilots will have no jobs. The wording was 'They will not be proceeding to be fighter pilots'
Someone will know better than I how much it takes in time and millions of pounds to train one pilot,multiply that by 30 and once again the MOD waste machine goes into overdrive. Apart from which 30 young persons carreers are dumped on the scrap heap.
Bearing in mind that these same people might have been the ones flying F35 of CVF I can't see much relief/nice surprise in his statement.
I bet that nice Mr Osborne is doing his sums already.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Police have charged a physician who provides abortion procedures in East Tennessee with pointing a gun at protesters outside a Charleston health care office.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that 62-year-old Gary Boyle of Blountville, Tenn., was released on $25,000 bail Saturday. There was no answer Sunday at a telephone listing for Boyle in his hometown and the clinic was closed.
According to a police report, Boyle pulled out a handgun when he was approached by three abortion protesters in the parking lot at Charleston Women's Medical Center in West Ashley. It was not clear whether Boyle was performing abortions at the Charleston clinic.
The protesters are participating in a "40 Days for Life" campaign in which they pray outside the clinic 24 hours a day from Sept. 22 through Oct. 31.

My middle son had a severe case of strep throat a few weeks ago. Took him to the doctor and he received antibiotics. Then other ailments started popping up.
Basically, his body is fighting the antibiotics that were put in his system weeks ago. He has been breaking out in hives, has severe stomach pain, inflammation and pain in the joints, and lethargy. He has been so pitiful. It could take up to a month for him to be back to regular health. He will never be able to take that family of antibiotics again as it could result in Anaphylactic shock.
He has been waking up every morning holding his stomach, walking slowly, and just miserable. Last night I did a modified raindrop therapy on him using:
oregano : contains strong immune-enhancing and antioxidant properties and supports the respiratory system
thyme : one of the strongest antioxidants known
basil : useful for fatigued or aching muscles
fennel : stimulating to the circulatory, glandular, respiratory, and digestive systems
copaiba : aid digestion and support the body's natural response to injury or irritation
This morning? NOT ONE COMPLAINT! Regular energy and happily went to school. Even though we've been using #YoungLiving EOs for a few years now, I am TOTALLY AMAZED!
UPDATE: The following day, he had mild symptoms so I applied the oils again. Symptoms continued to decrease. :) Happy to have my little boy back!

As every busy woman knows, the day can seem never-ending. Between spending hours at the office, taking care of the house, getting your kids situated (if you have them), and working out something for dinner… hopping into bed at the end of the day only means one thing… SLEEP.
Is your hectic lifestyle taking a toll on the level of intimacy you share with your partner? Are you spending less time together, cuddling less, and in effect, feeling kind of distant from each other?
GalTime Health Director Stephanie Moore, MD, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and JJ Virgin, a nationally renowned fitness and nutrition expert, are here to help you get your sex drive back.
Related: Can Women Have Sex Like Men?
Stress tops the list now-a-days. With worries big and small bouncing around in your head, how can you possibly concentrate on anything else?
Stress impacts your hormones. When you're under a lot of stress it can lower vital components like testosterone and estrogen," says JJ Virgin.
It's important to find activities that help you relieve stress, and use them whenever you're feeling overwhelmed. Try yoga, massage, music, a warm bath (perhaps together!).
Related: Help Him Be a Better Kisser
Cigarettes and Alcohol
Ditch one and cut down on the other.
"Frequent alcohol [consumption] leads to decreased sex drive and is often related to increased stress or depression in one's life," warns Dr. Moore. "None of those side effects will help amp up your love life."
Cigarettes are also a major culprit in the case of diminished libido.
"Smoking affects blood flow to vessels that affect performance," cites JJ. "When you look at it, it's critical to have good blood flow and a healthy blood pressure."
We all need a solid 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night to be at the top of our game. Lack of sleep leaves little to no energy for activity in the bedroom. Make getting those ZZZs a priority, so you can rev up the romance factor.
Related: Is It OK To Fake It?
Lingering Arguments
Work out the kinks. Even minor issues in a relationship can seem like mountains. Again, Dr. Moore says that communication is key because these issues can create the division that ends the intimacy in your relationship.
"For women, the connection leading to intimacy is mental. No connection means no intimacy," she explains.
No Time or No Time Alone
Scheduling sex sounds like a weird concept, but in JJ's experience it's helped a lot of couples. You can't increase your libido if you don't make time for it, bottom line.
"Sex is usually an afterthought," JJ notes. "We go out, make dinner, lay down, get tired, and fall asleep."

I travel about 7 months out of the year. So I know a thing or two about what hotels are good and which to avoid. This is the second time I have lived in a vacation rental property. I must say I got lucky. The owners are super easy and accommodating to work with. This unit has all up to date decor and appliances . Granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliance, stacked front load washer dryer, WiFi. You literally live above a shopping newly built mall village, which has its own police force. Mostly middle , upper middle class folks shop and occupy the grounds. The great thing is the amount of restaurants and shops within literally 1-2 minutes walking distance. I saved about $1100 choosing this over a Marriot or Holiday Inn. This place is safe,clean and a bargain.
Wonderful Aiken SC home rental!
My husband and I rented this lovely home for 4 nights in September 2013 and really enjoyed our stay in such a lovely home in a wonderfully quiet location. The home is very spacious and well appointed and the owners such lovely people and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban-Ki Moon, said the fact that 76 countries in the world still criminalize homosexuality is 'an outrage'.
In a historic statement made yesterday at the UN headquarters in New York, Ban said:
'It is an outrage that in our modern world, so many countries continue to criminalize people simply for loving another human being of the same sex.'
The Korean head of the UN added, 'in most cases, these laws are not home-grown. They were inherited from former colonial powers... These laws must go.'
In his speech Ban said that the UN leads by example and he has reiterated to all senior managers in the organization that has offices all over the world that 'discrimination against staff on the basis of sexual orientation will not be tolerated'.
Ban singled out countries such as Ukraine where laws have been proposed that would criminalize public discussion of homosexuality. 'Potentially making meetings such as this one illegal,' said Ban. 'I deplore these kinds of measures wherever they are introduced. They threaten basic rights, feed stigma and lead to more abuse.'
Malawi, where anti-gay laws were repealed and then reintroduced earlier this year, was also discussed. 'Now, under the new leadership of Her Excellency President Joyce Banda, Malawi is weighing possible changes in the law,' said Ban. 'I hope Malawians take the opportunity to turn a page.'
Ban addressed all national leaders who point to unsympathetic public opinion as a reason not to change anti-gay laws.
'I understand it can be difficult to stand up to public opinion,' said the Secretary-General. 'But, just because a majority might disapprove of certain individuals does not entitle the State to withhold their basic rights.
'Democracy is more than majority rule. It requires defending vulnerable minorities from hostile majorities. It thrives on diversity. Governments have a duty to fight prejudice, not fuel it.'
Ban was joined by Puerto Rican popstar Ricky Martin, South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Archbishop Desmond Tutu made a video address from South Africa.

Finally took a deep breath and jumped on it. Took me less than 1 hour to do my first and I fumbled a lot to solder in order to get it perfect.
RHCP, right?
I don´t bank a lot with my EZ ( at least when I´m far away ), that´s why I chose this one for the aerial.
My immediate intentions are to cover my GP patch reflector corner and use it with this one.
sanity check someone??

Sorry to go off-topic for a second.
If I build a 2.4ghz version and modify my stock whip antenna that came with my router would I get better range? I'm over a my neighbours place a lot and get spotty reception. Maybe this might help? If I do build one just orient it so it is facing up?

in fact I had built the GP like that from the beginning, I didn´t go back to look at pictures after I printed the template and it just came out like that.
BTW, I´m using aluminum panels with small tin squares riveted to it ( that´s where I solder the connections ). Do you see any issues?? Should I still cover the dog ear on the reflector or just test it like that??
sorry to bother you again.
|May 18, 2011, 10:22 PM
I think you'll be ok with it how it is. The GP patch is a copy of K5OE's dual band patch for dish feed which was designed back in the 1950's. The trimming of the corners was to allow the second patch to radiate at the fringes.

Alex, your really got me... best video ever... I took my vee to compare but I never bothered to even mount it. the static is less than seldom. Lost signal behind a mountain but I was really pushing it low on the other side...just eased on the elevator and signal came back in less than a second. got some static flying 3 meters high and 200 meters away but right in the beam of a very big cell phone mast. flew a mile upwind with absolutely no degradation.
Almost lost my plane today... I did a very stupid thing, my Video Bat + wire got loose of the connector so I flew off the charging connector... It was good down to 10.9 volts... but then.... just lost it completely in a flash... I was 600 m away and don´t ask me how I spotted it because I don´t know... My 2 spotters only saw it when I was like 200 m away..

I just bought one of these from RMRC, a set with the cloverleaf. I have the inverted vee on my plane, and I'm going to use this with my Eagle Eyes diversity feature.
I'll try this first, then the cloverleaf and see how much difference there is.
I just modified my ground station last night, here it is with the mods:
|May 22, 2011, 09:23 PM
Put the cloverleaf on the plane and forget the Vee. There is hardly any comparison. It's that good
|May 22, 2011, 10:12 PM
My Cloverleaf is the blubeam without the cable, so should I just turn the tx where it is and stick it on there? (see pic's) Or should I put it up front just behind the prop, which is the highest point on the plane.

Hey is there anyway to go CP with UHF 433mhz Rx/Tx's. I imagine the Rx antennas would be to large, but is there a way around that?
I've been getting bad multipathing on the Tx/Rx flying in the city but don't know of a better solution. The signal will just drop out completely in a matter of 2-3 seconds! It can't be a null because the Tx is an omni whip and I'm no where near the top end null (out 4000 feet and maybe 600ft up) and I'm not far enough out to be losing the signal (4000 ft LOS using a Scherrer LR UHF on the 2w setting). The Rx antennas are positioned in an "L" shape on either side of the Skywalker nose). And I don't think this is from RF because it's happened in two totally separate locations in the city.
|May 23, 2011, 10:42 AM
Yes: turnstile antenna. It is circularly polarized.
|May 23, 2011, 10:45 AM
|May 23, 2011, 10:52 AM
I'm not sure if I'd use it as a TX antenna or an RX antenna. An RX antenna might be easier to mount. Eiher way, it should help with some of your problems. multipathing shouldn't be too bad for a control system unless you are flying very low to the ground.

Hugo, you use a 100pF capacitor in series with the antenna centre connection to block the DC flow.
|May 23, 2011, 04:01 PM
1) Lawmate Rx work fine with CP antennas. I have six lawmate RX and they all work perfectly with CP antennas and all other antennas I have tried.
2) Sander's post was a speculative response about what could be the problem if there was a problem (but there really is no problem). He thought the Lawmate RX might have +5v on the antenna output to power an external LNA which could be shorted if a closed loop antenna was used. This is an easy test to make: test the antenna input of the Lawmate with a voltmeter. You will find there is no DC voltage there.
What typically happens is that someone has a problem with their system or testing approach, blames a particular component and then makes a post. I know that facts have little impact on beating down internet rumors but I can't resist trying.

Low range
Hi there
i've build one of those Skew Planar Wheel for my 910Mhz 800mw Hobbyking RX/TX Set but the result is extremely bad.
Though i tried to keep tolerances as small as somehow possible (<= 1-2mm) it does not give me more than 200m of range in direct line of sight. Tried all channels 1-4 (910-1040 MhZ) and channel 3 ist best. The Standard antennas even give me slighly more range and more robust signal. Any Idea what might be wrong?
Here's a pic of my two antennas:
P.S: 900M Mhz is the primary band for cellphones right over here. Might this affect the range that much? Cellphones are allowed to send 2W .... basestations about 8W.

i am using the hobbyking 200mW 900mW system ... and the cells in my country operates on GSM which is also around the 900mhz area
i am using the cloverleaf on my vtx and SPW on my vrx ... so far my signal has been good up to 700m or thereabouts (checked on goggle map)... cannot fly far yet as i do not have RTH and OSD (but they are on the way) ... i have even flown my plane to within 100m of a cell tower with mild interference and between trees too
in theory u should have at least double my range
i see u have the SPW on both vrx and vtx ... u might wanna give the CL a try on your vtx since this combo is highly recommended
there was one time when i was getting no more than 200m of range so i did some checking ... apparently one of the wires have a cold solder joint on my vtx and cracked on the solder breaking up the signal intermittently ... making the range much much shorter than it should be ... u should try checking the solder points on your vtx/vrx just in case

If your in Europe or another country using GSM, I wouldn't use 900 mhz.. The cell towers can and likely will trash the signal if you get in their beam.

hi darkheli
i have set my vtx closer to 1ghz ... so far the gsm 900mhz has not really affected me seriously ... unless i fly really close to the tower(s)
yes ... i know its a bad idea/choice of frequencies on my part

hi OMM ...
if the rx casing is anything to go by (i assume they are the same size as mine) then his antenna size looks about the same as mine

just to post also here and say that the "magic combo" CP/SPW work like no other antenna....
is this the future standard antenna in FPV ?
yes with no doubt

i am currently running 900mhz SPW on my vrx
to prevent wire clutter around myself ... i have gotten a FOXTECH AIO with built in 5.8 vrx
i then placed a 25mW 5.8vtx to relay the video from my 900mhz system to my goggles
question ...
how would performance compare if i just place the 900 CL on a tripod on the ground vs tripod on the roof of my car/van ?
the height of the tripod would be about 5ft or so
my current fly field is asphalt car park with buildings with some curve and flat metal roofs but these buildings are nothing higher than 3-4 storeys
thanks ...
|May 26, 2011, 07:36 AM
On the ground would be better. Eventhough the Cloverleaf/SPW reject multipath well, placing it on a huge metal reflector will still hurt performance.
|May 26, 2011, 08:18 AM
I have my VRX mounted on a tripod that stands on the roof of my van; 1.2m higher than the roof. I have also tried with the tripod on the ground and have to say it seemed better on the roof.
I have been led to belive that omni antennas work best when they are mounted up as high as possible (up to a point) and this does seem to be the case with my CL, SPW combo.
You can see my setup at the end of this vid (4:52); only close in flying in this clip but i have been out to near my 35MHz range limit and the video was still great
|May 26, 2011, 09:30 AM
A stand on the roof is fine, but on the ground is better. Well, assuming the Fresnel zone is clear. I guess I figured that there would be no objects he'd be flying over that would disturb the Fresnel zone.

Alex, can i put SPW in plastic case with 1mm wall thickness? 5.8Ghz 200mW. I want to build compact ground station and dont want to brake a SPW antenna, so i need to put it in plastic case.
|May 27, 2011, 08:50 AM
|May 27, 2011, 02:24 PM
How does my SPW look? @ 1280 RH polarized
|May 27, 2011, 04:13 PM
lobes are not angled vertically enough & you need to pull them around so there's a more even overlap.
otherwise good.

overall height from ground using tripod alone was 5ft
overall height on the roof of the car was around 7.5ft (i shortened the tripod legs when on the roof)
at higher altitudes ... the ground and roof version performed about the same
but at lower heights the roof version seemed better marginally .. lower = 10-20ft weaving around small trees and lamp posts (in a cloudsfly .. hehehe)
i also noticed when i/plane fly over greens/grass/trees ... signal is much better than when over roads .. high metal content in the asphalt/tar road construction in my country ??
|May 28, 2011, 01:22 PM
Alright, I'm going to build one this weekend to use with a 5.8Ghz transmitter.
I just tested and it turns out that it's actually very easy to solder an electric guitar steel wire, so I'm going to use that for the antenna.
One thing I'm not quite sure though. For the receiver end, should I make an identical antenna or is it better to use a different model?
|May 28, 2011, 01:29 PM
The recommended antenna for the TX is the circular polarized antenna and the SPW is for the RX.
Have fun!
|May 28, 2011, 02:49 PM
Another question, I'm planning to mount the SPW Tx antenna upside down in the fuselage in a small bulge under the nose, which if I'm not mistaken would switch the polarization. So, should I make a left hand SPW and a right hand Cloverleaf so they match?
Or is that an entirely bad idea and I should mount it with the curved segments pointing up?
I attached a drawing of how I'd like to install the antenna (in red), the big rectangle on top is the battery, and smaller one the Vx transmitter.

quick question:
what happens to the directivity of an cloverleaf or a skew planar wheel if i change the numbers of lobes i.e. 2,5,6,7,8 or more lobes?
and witch one should i use on the tx and witch one on the rx?
|May 29, 2011, 02:45 AM
Argh!, I just realized I used the wrong dimensions for the wire length, I used a 105mm long wire to make an antenna for 5.945Ghz and according to the formula it should had been 101.1mm long.
Anyway, I did bend on element with that wire (let's call it a practice round) and found out that the ends of the wire didn't meet at the center, which had me puzzled until I looked back at the first post and noticed that the bend is actually not a circle.
I bent a circle with a diameter equal to the straight center section, and things didn't add up.
I made a drawing of how I bent the wire so you see how the arc segment I ended up with is 24.8mm instead of 26.4 (this is the wrong dimensions, haven't corrected them yet) So what I figured is that the curve is not a circle, what I haven't figured out is what shape it is supposed to be, an ellipse perhaps? I don't know how important is to get the correct curvature.
Anyway, back to bending wire....

It is hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the arcs in most of the antenna do not start tangentially to a circle but rather start with a wider than 90 deg angle which may help to explain the discrepancy as this pushes the lobe outward some increasing the length of wire. Whether or not this *should* be the case or not I can't say.

Nice. adding this to my FPV folder for later use. Have you tested your antennas to see that they work well on channel 8
How did you go about working out the correct curve. My math has gone down hill over the years and ... I am not that smart anymore.
|May 29, 2011, 10:39 AM
I haven't tested the antennas yet because I haven't even finished them, I just put the bent wires aside and I'll wait for a new video Tx to test them on, I don't want to tear apart my FPV plane to try them just yet.
I did check the math to calculate the length of an ellipse arc sector but it required more brain power that I can muster on a Sunday afternoon.

hey guys... tell me if these look ok.
So far, they seem to have worked a bit better than the dipoles. 5.8ghz 200w foxtech system.
Not sure if its good or not, but with the dipoles i was able to get about 300 feet. Now I can get 500 feet.
I attached a map to show my environment.
The camera/TX is mounted on a 1/10th scale car. So I am hoping once the TX is on a plane, I will get out a bit farther. Am I correct to think range will increase in the air?
|May 29, 2011, 03:57 PM

will hobby lobby craft gold plated memory wire work for these antennas? It is smaller diameter. Will that affect anything?
|May 29, 2011, 08:09 PM
Realized that the SPW was backward. I made a new one.
I found it much easier to make 4 separate parts and solider each individually.
Ok, so 9000' in the air, but have you tried a range check on the ground at all?
I tried to see how far the new setup will go, but my damn Futaba 3PK on 2.4ghz ran out of range before my video. which for some reason was only 300'

I've got ~300m (~980ft) on the ground so far with FrSky 2.4 ghz for control and 5.8ghz (200mw) for video. I'm looking for more open areas to go for a drive in as I run out of LOS quickly past that. Vid tx is 12" off the ground and the rc rx antennae are about the same. If the area is open and undulating I can sometimes drive a little out of LOS with video fuz as long as it isn't very far out of LOS but can't go around buildings at all really without the rc becoming very beepy (telemetry) and the video going to crap.
|May 30, 2011, 07:42 PM
I answered my own question today. I strapped my camera onto my foamy and tossed her up in the air. I got the plane high enough that I was having a hard time keeping my climb rate steady. 2 flights, first time ever doing this. Absolutely awesome experience!!!
Up close, about 5-10 feet above ground I lose all video.
What would cause this?
Plane: 36" Profile Foamy
RC: 72mhz
vTX/RX: Foxtech 5.8ghz 200mw with CL/SWP
Camera: 690TVL Ultra WDR Pixim SEAWOLF 2.8mm
Whats up with my rainbow prop?!
Winds were 15-22mph, so the plane was more of a kite. Also, i need to figure out how to capture video without killing my laptop. pretty cool dive near the end of the video.

The "rainbow prop" is a side effect of the global shutter/cmos combo in the pixim cams. It is a better tradeoff than the "window blinds prop" from rolling shutter cmos cams.
Very nice camera! How heavy is it? Not sure what would cause the loss of video you had at the end. I've noticed I get weird colors/loss of video (black frame sort of thing) with really bad multipathing (driving the truck into an inside corner on a building at a moderate distance for ex). Perhaps there is enough ground clutter near where the plane was to cause issues?
The dive was great
|May 30, 2011, 08:41 PM
no idea how much it weighs, but I am VERY happy with it so far.
690TVL-Ultra-WDR-Pixim-SEAWOLF 2.8mm
it cant be too heavy though, as my foamy still flys with it onboard.
Its quite funny how its attached too.
|May 30, 2011, 11:31 PM
Well, first time I got to take my blu beam version of the SP out yesterday, then I was taking out my groundstation and the board I have everything on pulled away from its mount and landed on my truck seat, and unfortunately I had neglected to take the antenna off before loading it up, so it ended up getting scrunched.
Since I was trying it out with my new eagle eyes ground station with my bi-quad for diversity, I got it close to what I thought was original and put it on anyway. Then I was getting black screens when hardly any distance out in one direction, because I had also mistakenly set the EE unit to only use that antenna.
Now I am wondering if I can salvage it by getting it back to it's proper shape and form, so I'll be carefully reading the build instructions at the start of the thread.

hello all...
i have a 5.8 system .. I made up only 1 clover antenna..
I think I got everything right.. well at least for first attempt..
But should I see an improvement ... .with only 1 ?
I only had 1 coax cable so .. I tested with it mounted on the Rx.. then on the Tx.. with stock at other end..
Test only indoors... image goes in and out every now and again..
I was going to make a second but I've have to destroy one of the coax antennas to get the part..
So I guess my main question was should there be a benefit with only 1..
so far dont see it..but maybe a second attempt may show better results..
Thanks all...
|May 31, 2011, 03:27 AM
Using one alone does not help. Make a cloverleaf (the one with three lobes) and use that one on the transmitter, the one you made on the reciver and you will experience a quantum leap in your video link quality.

Thanks.. all..
it worked.. I when ahead and used another of the antennas (stock) .. found another.. so I have 2 stock.. to test with..but not sure its even worth it.... I can see the improvement already...
having them where there is no physical barriers (Walls) .. you see clear difference over the stock...
Stock .. it would cut out several times in a minute.. lets just say... 5 or so per minute.. sometimes more sometimes less.. did not have the patience to quantify it..
but with the 4(skew planer ) on the Rx and 3(clover) on the Tx It goes minutes.. with out cutting out.. maybe 10min.. ect..
HUGE.. improvement .. now it does this when both are stationary..
ok now here is the part where I ask the not so intelligent questions..
If I hold the .. Tx in my hand wave it around .. role it .. point it back ect..
ie..perform a simulation as if it on airplane.. it does go out very frequently..
now.. this is indoors.. so I'm thinking .. the walls furniture may be causing.. signal to get "scrambled" my not so technical term.. ... or even me holding is is not good..
I guess the ultimate test will be outdoors..
Now I saw a few post on here about encasing the antenna in foam,
I plan to use a FunCub.. that has large cavity in the fuse..
I was thinking of mounting it in the center tail section..
I used very soft cooper (phone wire) to make these..so was thinking that may be a good idea.. as they are fragile.. or should I not waist time with that..
Well Thanks.. for this thread..
I have a few 900mhz setups that I never did anything with .. those will be next..
|May 31, 2011, 01:38 PM
Getting strange results while holding the tx in your arms is not a surprize. The body also operates like a ground and will have influence on the tuning of the antenna. Then, you of course also can block the signal with your body etc. etc.

Thanks Markus..
I took another look at my 3 (clover) antenna..
they where not at 45deg.. like in this video..
I bent them closer to 45.. and it's improved about 10 times.. now when I move it around.. it does not cut out as much ..
1failure to the 10 before..
cant wait to get this in the air.... will start the build tonight with some modification on that cub..
Anyone have a video link ..like the one above for the 4 (skew planer) ?
that made it so simple to understand the angles ..
Thanks.. again ..
|May 31, 2011, 03:37 PM
I think it is the same, just has four instead of three.....90 degrees apart vs. 120 if I understand correctly....
|May 31, 2011, 04:50 PM

|May 31, 2011, 08:31 PM

Does anyone have a picture of their SPW jig? I am looking at making a few for my planes and I would love to see how people put their jigs together to speed up the process. I just finish making a cloverleaf jig that works nicely but I haven't thought up one for the spw.

For base-fed I use a split bullet inside a cylinder. I will post pictures if I can remember where I put my camera... Basically I have a cylinder with 4 magnets on the edge. The bullet has a small loe in the middle and is split in two. The cable comes through the center of the bullet, the cylinder hold the halves together. Dorp the lobes in and the magnets hold them in place for soldering. Add heat and solder and it does it perfectly every time. When soldered, push the bullet from the cylinder and it splits open to unlock the antenna.

Taking a break
Many of you have noticed I haven't been around as much. It's because I have been burned here on RCG. I will continue to be active on FPVLAB where it appears there is a much more mature crowd.
You can find me and post questions here as I monitor this regularly: http://fpvlab.com/forums/forumdispla...Aerial-Systems
That is also where I plan to launch my new antenna designs.
Take care all of you,

I am going to build one for my own, but I do not get much. Does "The Skew-Planar Wheel circular polarized omni antenna" connect 2 poles of the antenna together?
Because I saw that most of atenna does not do this.

Yes, the various types of S-P/cloverleaf/etc are a 'dead short' as in a DC circuit, BUT in an RF circuit, the Tx 'sees' around a 50 ohm load.
Not easy to explain or understand as DC circuits are different to RF circuits.
Just believe it and go ahead and make one as per the various topics...

Hi Nigel,
I just double checked with my TX and RX. Without antenna, the TX (Immersion 600mw), two poles are not connected. RX (Airwave) two poles are connected, and it seems to be that there is a capacitor or inductor between them, because I saw that, the led went bright firstly and then came lower and kept the light.
Or does my RX died? this is new and I only can catch the video very nearly about 10-20m.
So that, I am trying to build an antenna for this.(5.8G).

I don't know the Immersion Tx or Rx so can't help with the LED situation but you should always have an antenna connected to any Tx before applying power as you may well damage the Tx if you do not have a correct antenna connected. You will not hurt the Rx without an antenna.
With 600mW, you should easily get some hundreds of metres with good signal (providing there are no line of sight obstructions). You will often get some horrible distortions due to multipath signals at the Rx, which is where the CP antennas help a huge amount by significantly reducing multipath signals.
Have you built 2 CP antennas?
If so, are they both the same polarity (physically 'twisted' the same direction)?
Have you got both the Tx and the Rx set to the same channel?
Maybe you should consult Sander regarding your Immersion hardware.

Thank a lot for the information.
I am building CP antennas.
I do not mean I powered the TX and RX and asked for the led there.
I just tested 2 poles of the female-RSA port of TX and RX if it connected or not.
I powered a led via the female-RSA port of TX and RX. With TX the led was not on and the RX the led went light and then it lowered and kept the light.
So, I saw that the TX, 2 poles are not connected together and the RX, 2 poles are connected. This is different. I asked is it normally or failure with something?
Is it failed with RX (I thought)?
But I still see the video with this system but the range is very nearly.
Thanks Nigel again,

At least Airwave receivers have power on the antenna jack. You have to disable the power feed somehow in order to use "short circuit" antennas like SPW or CL. If you just throw SPW or CL in it shorts out the power coming out from the antenna jack and (presumably) shuts off the receiver.
For one particular Airwave module there's some kind of tutorial on how to disable the power from the antenna jack: http://www.electronicarc.com/catalog...roducts_id=532 The picture is not clear but you have to cut one lead on the circuit board.
|Aug 04, 2011, 07:44 AM
Duy - There are many different types of antennas. Some are "closed loop" and others are open type. Examples of open types would be patch antennas and dipoles. Some examples of closed loop types would be BiQuads, skew planar wheels and the folded dipole (often used as a Yagi feed).
Once a piece of wire gets to 1/4 wavelength long, it begins to resonate and the resistance changes dramatically. At microwave frequencies, 1/4 wave length is only a few cm.
