In a free country, the market and the public should determine whether TVN succeeds or fails. The CRTC should reconsider the TVN application and allow "survival of the fitest" to determine which stations are viable.
How can Canada's Number 1 city for tourism, be denied a network of their own!! What I need to know is WHY?? Why, can places like Barrie, Hamilton,Kitchener be allowed access on the airwaves and Niagara Region is a no go!! Sounds like to me "Sour Grapes" Niagara should have, deserves it and one day they will!!!
The CRTC's decision is like a punishment to Niagara, especially in the face of too many economic difficulties.
How can the CRTC let us down like this? I thought I lived in a free country but I realize now we are all under the thumb of the mighty opresser. What about all the good things that would have come to so many Canadians from TVN Niagara becoming a reality? Instead of our commerce being allowed to flourish here in Niagara, we are shut down because we threaten an already existing and growing market? All the CRTC's reasons for denying TVN a broadcasting licence do not add up to be worth the benefits which would have come to so many. For the first time in my life, I am embarassed to be a Canadian. So much for standing up and trying to make something of yourself in this neck of the woods. It's more like stand up and get your head chopped off~! This is dirty politics to say the least! The big broadcasting moguls win and the little engine that could - can't~! This only proves that payola is alive and well in this country.
I say we line up our soldiers and march straight to Ottawa and knock a few doors down~!
Very odd if you ask me. How does this make sense. Oh wait, it does make sense, because it's an honest application with honest people behind the helm. I wonder what would have happened if their were kick backs, or "private meetings".
From experience I know that deals like this are made at the Coral Centre. I wonder how many meeting took place there with the broadcasting big shots, and those from the CRTC.

I believe that TVN should be granted a broadcasting license. I have been a Niagara area resident for 30 years and I have always wondered how such a booming city could not have much news to report. The closest area to "cover" Niagara is Hamilton and if you listen to the news lately,they have enough news to televise of their own... Niagara area residents deserve to have a station dedicated to informing us of the news we "need to know". Cable 10 doesn't cover the "news" they just cover minor information. We need a station for Niagara area residents by Niagara area residents. The CRTC needs to reconsider it's decision to keep TVN from the airwaves. Take a vote and let the residents decide if they want news from their hometown or from a large city with more than enough news in their own backyards, to tell us what's happening in ours. I ask the CRTC to stand up and let the people decide who we want to hear OUR news from.
This truly has to be one of the most devastating moments not only in Canadian Television but at the same time a devastating loss for our own cultural independence. My mind is perplexed as to how the CRTC could put forth such a decision that is undoubtedly influenced by the Conglomerates within the Television Industry. These are the same Conglomerates that claim to be facing economic hardships not realizing that the situation is self-inflicted by theyre own short-sightedness and greed. These Giants are more accountable to the individual Shareholder then they are to the Community in which they belong.
These individuals would forgo the opportunity to deter us from being brainwashed into a homogenized American culture for a simple added Christmas Bonus, while in the process ignore the intellectual creativity of our own society. All for the simple reason that a less evolved population believes that Reality TV is the in thing. Why should we allow ourselves to be degraded and turned into a tabloid culture? Canada is known to be the home to many great writers, producers, musicians, and technicians - in brief some of the greatest minds on the planet reside within our borders. Why should we allow our identity and intelligence to be compromised by greedy short-sighted shareholders? Its no wonder why Canada has been suffering the great brain drain to the south for decades.
Purchasing cheap mind-numbing American programs and re-branding them as Canadian television is no way to promote our national pride and identity. With our culture being stripped away at the rate of one degrading American primetime program at a time - how can a great writer, producer, musician - or even in these dire times a health care professional be granted the wish of being successful within the community they belong? The CRTC has denied us the Citizens of Niagara this right. A right that is our only hope of preventing our fall into the melting pot known as the GTA - or commonly known throughout the rest of Canada as Toronto, U.S.A. Correct me if Im wrong here; but I thought the CRTC was established to prevent this situation from happening?
Anyone who is interested in this matter should check out this link:
"CRTC Does Not Support Local TV" by Craig Huckerby, LTVNews.com
Very logical and well-founded points are made, much like on this page as well. If anyone was to start a class action lawsuit against the CRTC for going against it's mandates of "Reflecting Canadians to Canadians" and "Reflecting Our Canadian Values" in favour of the profit margins of inhumaine corporations, I would definitely lend some of my time.
I have lived in the Niagara area for over 15 years. After having moved here from Montreal (and being born and raised in Quebec city), I was in for quite a culture shock. It took me a while to adapt but the one thing that I have always said is that the Niagara region is at least 15 years behind the times. This stands for job equality, cultural events, and trends. Everything stops at Hamilton. I have whined about this for fifteen years.
The CRTC turning down TVN's application is just one more thing to prove my point.
Yes TVN faces many challenges, yes it will have to appeal to several people and not just a specific group, yes there will be mistakes made in the beginning, yes some peole may not be happy with the presence of TVN and will do everything in their power to shut it down (Sadly in this case they've succeeded).
I can go on for ages but to put things in perspective, this happens all the time, to people to bussinesses and even media outlets, rather than give up why not take a chance and see what happens, we all need to start somewhere and last time I checked this is exactly how this country came to be is it not?
With so much of Canadian Television seeking to become American (A step backwards if you ask me) it is refreshing to see something that goes against the grain but what is the reward? Ignorance followed by sheer greed? How many stations does Toronto have and yet they feel so threatened by one station that isn't even in Toronto? Hamilton allocates 10%-15% of their news coverage to Niagara which for a person living in Niagara it is unacceptable, why should we be dependant on the scrapings that CHCH defines as news? Would it not be easier for them to no longer worry about having to cover Niagara when we can do it ourselves?
It really is a sad day that the CRTC chooses to listen to big money media conglomerates rather than the people that they are supposed to be looking out for? Is this the future of Canadian Television? After travelling the world for the last 6 years I've always been proud to say that I am Canadian and how they must come to Canada, nowadays I am still proud to be Canadian and I still tell people to visit Canada, the only difference will be is advise them not to watch Television just in case they get confused as to which county they are supposed to be visiting.
This is very disappointing, I'd like to point out a few things the other stations brought up (after skimming through the report)
- Point 16 in the report, CKCO-TV in Kitchener, a market of comparable size to the Niagara region.
Last I checked, we received much more tourism than Kitchener.
- Point 19 in the report, CHCH-TV already serves the Niagara region. It submitted that 10% to 15% of the news stories covered by CHCH-TV are specific to the Niagara region
Wow.. I'm thrilled I hear about Niagara 10-15% of the time. I'm sure the Tourists love that amount of coverage on Toronto (which would probably be above 50%). Last time I watched CHCH-TV, I saw that crime was the most news-worthy thing.
As for lost revenue for Toronto, points, and other stations...
Couldn't the same be said about Niagara? We're losing Tourism & revenue to Toronto; advertising money that could be used to promote the area, and events in the area for Tourists and locals. I can see how Toronto would be concerned, since their stations promotes Toronto, and their own cultural events. If anything, close the Hamilton station down and open TVN!
For more information on the decision, Google "Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-544"
Once again, Canada has turned its back on Canada. I say move forward with the US-Based Broadcasting plan. Niagara not only needs a voice of its own, it deserves it. The Red Faction of the CRTC will be left scratching their heads.

I can't believe it! I honestly thought the CRTC had the interest of the Canadian people in mind when it comes to making decisions such as this. I guess I was wrong.
TVN was a chance to give Canada's #1 tourist destination a voice and it was a chance to take Canadian Broadcasting back to it's roots and back to the community.
I truly hope that this is NOT the end for TVN!
It is so beautiful to know that two of the major cesspools in this area are allotted full reign over our viewing preferences. Toronto needs more television channels like they need more murders. I have given up on watching forms of media such as television, due to the false reporting that goes on on the Hamilton news. I know first hand how stories are edited and twisted on certain Hamilton stations.
I really don't care what is happening in these areas as well. If you have ever visited them, you would understand. The Niagara Region is an area ripe with culture, and brilliant artists, ready to shine. By declining this station, CRTC shows us once again, that the government does NOT speak for the people, only for the corporations and pocketliners. Welcome to America.
Hearing the bad news from the CRTC was a shot to the heart.
It's a sad day when a television graduate can only look to Toronto or the USA for a career.
I spent three years in college, studying television, hoping I would be able to find work in my hometown.
The CRTC has overlooked what kind of impact TVN would have on the economy here in Niagara.
I would just like to share my graditude to the Wendell and Tracy and thier entire team who put this wonderful idea together. Please don't be discouraged and give it another go.
This decision absolutely stunned me. This was a total no-brainer and the CRTC completely dropped the ball. I was at the hearing this summer and I remember that the CRTC officials had to ask the audience to be respectful when a CHCH representitive got up to speak. This was because every time mention was made that CHCH already serves Niagara, there a very loud and very negative response from those of us in attendence. The fact that they asked us to quiet down means that they were aware of our feelings about CHCH.
They knew we were (are) unhappy with the coverage our region receives from Hamilton and they chose to ignore us. This must not be allowed to stand! As soon as the January 23rd election is over, I am going to talk to my MP about this and ask him/her to look into the CRTC's decision. I urge anyone who wants to see TVN succeed to do the same.
The whole thing stinks to high hell!
Here we have an applicant (Wendell Wilks) with experience in TV startups, backed by an internationally recognized personality in marketing and advertising (Terry O'Malley). I don't doubt for a second TVN's backers all have strong backgrounds in the field. How can the CTRC, on one hand acknowledge the creativity of TVN's proposed business plan, yet on the other, decline their application because of it? In my opinion, it's none of the CTRC's f'n business!
This region is horrendously under served, and as I expect, the impact of rising fuel costs will make it all the more relevant to regional advertisers to advertise regionally - and not to distant viewers who will find it to expensive to go out of their own region for products and services.
It boggles the mind to hear the number of licences granted to other regions and yet we still can't get even one! I really hope that TVN takes the CTRC to task and reveals to the nation, in all it's glory, just how disfunctional the CTRC has become. I hope, with all my heart, that Wendell and backers give the CTRC a good run for their money.
I am still shaking my head at the CRTC's negative decision. One asks, why such short sightedness ? Obviously CH T.V. of Hamilton would have their knickers in a knot if TVN's licence application was granted, but one also has to look at Standard Radio and how their advertising revenue would be affected with 3 stations in the region and we can't forget Metroland (TORSTAR) with Niagara This Week, the Osprey group of newspapers which includes The St. Catharines Standard, The Niagara Falls Review, The Welland Tribune plus countless local weeklies. To the best of my knowledge all of the above are all corporately governed from within the GTA. But this decision is shortsighted because hopefully with the imminent launch of TVN Niagara businesses will be in a much stronger position to compete and in many cases survive. Eventually with TVN Niagara business will boom, there will be more $$$ people will still read and listen to the radio and business will use all sources of media to advertise with larger budgets. The CRTC should not be scared of upsetting the apple cart they should take their blinkers off for once and for all and look at all the benefits TVN will bring for everyone even outside of our community in Toronto & Hamilton. CRTC please reconsider and take look at a bigger , brighter picture.
I have no idea how they can deny such an application. In this area a television station could be run at a substantially lower cost than in major centres. It would also meet the coverage needs of Niagara citizens in a way that CH Hamilton cannot. It almost seems as though the big media doggs don't want to let this little pup in. A terrible shame in our region that struggles to solidify its image abroad.
Funny, now CHCH is starting to show up in Niagara!!!!!!
where were you 2 years ago , and will you keep it up ?
If not that's why this hold discussion is up.
I don't know if I am addressing the right group but I am going to gripe anyway. I am disappointed in the coverage of the post election coverage by CHCH tv out of Hamilton. I was not able to catch the final coverage of the election on election day. I went to CHCH TV for the final coverage on the day after and did not receive the information at 0840hrs or at 1200hrs or at 1800hrs. I watched the respective TV station for the information I was after but to no avail. What is wrong with this picture when it is my understanding that CHCH Hamilton is supposed to cover the Entire Niagara Region since no one else does.Am I to look to the paper for my answers which I am not happy with either.
After flipping through my cable channel lineup, one would think that anyone could get a licence. This decision should have been a "no brainer" for the 12th largest market in Canada. One can only assume the CRTC is corrupt, because no objective group could be this blind! We can only hope the appeal succeeds and corrects this ridiculous decision.
I always felt Nagara needed their own station we get very little coverage from Hamilton or Toronto.We are the twelve largest metro pouplation in Canada and it is a shame we do not have our own station.
The negative CRTC decision was a blow to the positive economic
developments and cultural communication for First Nations in the
Niagara region. Eastern Ontarion First Nations, much like Niagarans,
have very little representation in the Canadian Broadcast Industry. I
express my gratitude to Mr Wilkes for his insight in providing a vision
inclusive of the Aboriginal people. Our history and freedoms are
intrinsically intertwined in the historic battles that our ancestors fought
and died for on the battlefields of Niagara. Mr Wilkes has my continued
support in appealing the CRTC denial of a TVN broadcast licence.
After watching the 6:00 news on CHCH-TV they did cover Niagara, a whole 5 minutes. This is not good coverage at all. We need a 1/2 hour or longer news coverage for all of Niagara.The CRTC must get their heads out of their butts.
I commend you on your appeal of the CRTC ruling to the Cabinet of Canada. Niagara deserves its own voice, a true representation of all this region has to offer.
Your continued professionalism and use of 'common sense' in making a case for this project will be your strength going forward.
It's fair to say you've got the majority of Niagara behind you.

By decling the licence application made by TVN, the CRTC has shown clearly what their mandate really is. It is definitely NOT promoting or protecting Canadian Content and programming. It is to protect the financial interests of the major Canadian networks CTV and Global, and to prevent the further erosion of the CBC. The thought that CTV covers Niagara is beyond comprehension. News coverage down here from them is zilch. Weather coverage? We're not even on their radar (pun mildly intended).
As fara as coverage by CH News - well, at least they "mention" us. Or at least they do if it dramatic enough. But, let's face it - their market is the Hamilton area, and they know that the majority of their viewers could really care as little about what happens here as I do about the fender-benders that happen there.
As far as the financial end of this business goes, are we not a free market society? If I wanted to open a corner grocery store I would want to make sure that I could afford to stock the shelves. But there is always a risk that I could lose my shirt. Should that risk prevent me from getting a business licence and at least trying? No. Of course there is a chance that TVN could fold and its investers lose their money. It's a risk. Should that prevent the CRTC from granting them a licence. No way! The investers are all grown men and women who are capable of making decisions, including where they wish to invest their money. If TVN fails, so be it. But if it breaks even, or if it succeeds, think of the benefits. We get the programming and information that we desparately need in the Niagara area. We get jobs that we need down here. And these will not be just more tourist jobs, these are high tech skilled jobs. Careers!
Do we want a local TV station? YES! Do we NEED a local TV station? YES!!! Come on CRTC. Change your mandate from protecting corporate interests to promoting Canadian interests.
Although I do not live in the area, I have visited the region on vacation. Based on my impressions of the region, I would think that the Niagara region (on both sides of the border) deserves it's own TV station.
How much news of the Canadian side gets covered by Hamilton and Toronto TV stations? Very little. How much news on the American side gets covered by Buffalo TV stations? Not much.
Hopefully, your appeal will be successful and that before too long, TV Niagara will put CKNF-TV (I believe those call letters are available, and "NF" would stand for "Niagara Falls") on the air and finally give Niagara Falls (both Ontario and New York), St. Catharines, and Welland get the news coverage and other attention from a TV station that these areas deserve.
The Niagara region, both in Ontario and New York, need their own TV station!
Best of luck in the appeal, and I hope you win it.
CH has always indicated on air that they have a niagara bureau, but this consists of a single blonde reporter driving around the peninsula in her car! giving us news about what went on in the area, pretty much the day after or even 2 days after the event. The camera you see sometimes on air is always of downtown OAKVILLE ! is this what they mean by covering the Peninsula? THEY DO NOT COVER THE NIAGARA PENINSULA> It's as simple as that. We need a truly Peninsula news and Information channel, to indicate school clossings, traffic slowdowns, road closures, etc. pertainent to Niagara, covered by by people interested and living in Niagara
Looks like we can only represent ourselves through the Internet until the CRTC gets their heads out of their u know wheres. That's what we do at http://www.noiseatniagara.com. It's about the local music scene, which is thriving and itself deserves attention.
I'm sure that there is also need enough for our own evening news broadcasts, and reporting of our food festivals, concerts, and heck local weather!
In the meantime we'll have to stay online to get the Niagara scoop. But it's nice to see on this page here that there are so many people interested in locality! Community matters.
niagara deserves its own station
I have lived in the Niagara Region for a over year now and feel left out in the cold in regards to what's happening locally. I must say that the local newspaper is fabulous here in Niagara, but it only comes out twice a week and it isn't TV. When I lived in The GTA I could turn on my Tv in the morning and share a cup of coffee with Breakfast Television and feel a part of what is going on out there.
Now watching Breakfast TV is boring because it doesn't relate to me any more and CH Morning Live is ok but they don't cover anything past Stoney Creek.
The Niagara Region has so much to offer and newcomers to the area, like myself, need a TV station to call their own. We need those familiar faces in the mornings to start our day. We need to know where the best restaurants are, where to shop for the things we need and who to call when we need something done. City TV offers that to the GTA so why can't TVN have the chance to give that to us. We need local news to know what is going on out there. We need real local weather forcasts.
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get a handle on the weather here. Anybody who is anybody knows that the weather in Fort Erie certainly isn't the same as the weather in Grimsby or for that matter St. Catherines.
There is an endless supply of small businesses here that need a media voice that only a local station could provide. There are political issues, social issues,agricultural issues, arts,culture and much , much more news worthy stuff that would supply a TV station with good, clean news and entertainment for as long as the Niagara River flows over the Falls.
We need you TV Niagara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope to see you soon.

My name is Clay Masales and since the time I was born I lived in Niagara Falls. This was a very lucky thing for me because of the historical value of the area, the natural beauty, and the quality of life that is enjoyed in Niagara. The only unfortunate part of living there is that since I was a child I've wanted to work in television. I am now 22 and live in Toronto where I am working on fulfilling that dream. While I am enjoying my time here nothing could be better than returning to Niagara Falls and getting to work for a station like TVN.
I think a perspective people haven't much looked at this from is of the jobs the station would create. From broadcasters like me to engineers to keep the station running it would make for an even better economy in the region.
CRTC panders to the 'Big Networks'. It is more detrimental to the promotion of Canadian production and Canadian content than any entity could be. The CRTC has become the polar opposite of the spirit of it's design.
Take CHAT TV in Medicine Hat for example. A small market television station that made a legitimate request for the satellite TV providers in the Medicine Hat area to carry their station. CHAT TV was and is the only TV station that provides daily local news coverage in the area. Almost half of local area residents have their TV signal delivered by Bell Expressvu. Bell did not carry the local TV station for the reason that it had no room for another channel. So unless local residents had Cable television, the would not receive CHAT TV. The cable companies are mandated to carry local programming and news but for some reason it is not a requirement of the satellite providers. After years and years of complaints from area residents to the CRTC. And after numerous letters, hearings, meetings etc. by CHAT television with the CRTC to mandate Bell to adhere to black and white regulations, Bell expressvu continued to operate in the area unhindered. Finally this year, Bell expressvu put CHAT TV up on their Nimick II satellite as a solution to the incessant badgering of CHAT television. Most subscribers to Bell expressvu still do not receive CHAT TV as it only comes with the HD package.
It's incredible that the CRTC has no teeth when it comes to the big companies like Bell.
Now is there any wonder why the CRTC has no quams with the CTV takeover of CHUM and CityTV? If anybody should be losing their jobs, it shouldn't be employees of CityTV and A-Channel. It should be the jerks working at the CRTC.
I was born and raised in T.O.I have lived in the Niagara area for 29 years. We can't let them push our dreams to the side. It's not just news we're talking here, it's the arts. All the creative potential of this area would flourish with TVN. They seem to hand out stations in the "big city" to anyone with an idea. Well, this isn't just anyone and it's not just an idea, it's NIAGARA with a whole population of actors, athletes, artists, writers and independent film makers. We need a voice. TVN would give us that voice and a place to showcase the great talents of this area. Neil D. Burton - OUR TOWN PRODUCTIONS
The CRTC should have approved TVN.If it fails then so be it.Give them a license.Look at all the digital stations on cable,some fail some succeed but they almost all get a chance.Robert Kanis
We are certainly underserved in Niagara. Write letters to your MP and urge them to push for a reversal of the CRTC decision, then disband the CRTC once and for all.
As a former Niagara Falls resident, it still makes me sick to my stomach to hear of more and more people having to leave the Niagara Penninsula to find jobs. Doesn't the CRTC realize that by having a local TV channel (TVN), would create jobs in Niagara, and more importantly, encourage students to delve into the media and television markets? The CRTC should be ashamed that they can not realize the potential of local news and media via the TVN network.
Shame on you CRTC.
ps.happy in Montreal with 2 local news stations, Global (channel 6) and CHCH (channel 12).

If Niagara is to return to prosperity - we must have access to all forms of media. Niagara needs to speak with one voice - we are beginning to see that happen - but right now it is like a tree falling in the forest - who is listening. We have allowed CHTV to patronize us long enough - they will only cover us under tragic circumstances and that is simply not acceptable. The last time I checked - we lived in a free enterprise society. TVN has the business plan and the investors at the ready - who is the CRTC to refuse them the right to initiate this project. Niagara needs to use their one voice now or we will continue to be underestimated and overlooked!
As an American living in Canada I find this whole fiasco hiliarous and sad at the same time. I come from a small town and we had 3 local stations. I miss the local touch. No idea what is going on anywhere here. It's simply a safety factor that is being overlooked.
Being in the Ft. Erie area now we lived through what is billed in Buffalo NY as a disaster. Buffalo is a national disaster area. Ft. Erie? No idea. Can't find a thing out about anything. Where do you go for help if you need it? Is there help if you need it? Citizens of Canada... and I mean ALL of Canada need local news coverage. Having the nearest station 100 klicks away is just downright dangerous to citizens.
Now, as far as the age of 500 channels... right. It's so different here. In the states it's illegal to show the same show on a different channel at the same time. And with very good reason. Here, you can have a dozen or more channels showing the exact same show. So, you essentially don't have that many channels.
Canada is a great country. Just needs a little tweaking here and there.
Of course St.Catharines should have it's own TV station! With over 130,000 residents + the surrounding area it's almost large enough for two. As a Sarnia-Lambton resident I know what It's like to be underserved by local television as our CTV affiliate is nothing more than a CKCO Kitchener broadcaster.
As we are led to belive this Region already has representation via CHCH. I must admit I have never seen thier presence in the area and their news programing tends to stay in the Hamilton areas of concern. I would hope that sooner than later the CRTC can see that this Region should have it's own voice. In the already crowded competative market in Toronto they seem to continue to increase the competativeness of the airwaves. I feel that what this station is offering is much the same as City TV offered in it's inital days, progressive identity to the population, cutting edge and far more advanced. I can only hope the error of their ways is rectified sooner then later. I am positive that there is plenty of room for competition for CHCH. If they are not prepared to share then they should get out of the way.
As a graduate of the Broadcasting course at Niagara College I found it very difficult to find employment in this area. I love the Niagara Region and wanted to stay here. I worked part time at one of the few Video production houses here but eventually gave up and got a job outside of the field. It was a hard choice to make but I didn't want to move to Toronto. I wish there had been a station in this area and was excited when I heard about the application to the CRTC.
That excitement turned to discust after they rendered their decision. This area is populated and large enough to support a local station.
CH Tv only started to up their coverage of this area after the application went in because they know that this station would work.
I hope you will continue the fight to bring our area to the airways
I am quite upset that TVN has been turned down. I am a broadcasting student at Niagara College and a station of this nature would have provided many job opportunities for myself and classmates right here in the area. The Niagara region has a consistant growth of new families moving to the area and a station of this nature would be very beneficial and unite the communities. I can only wish that things will change and TVN will be born to the Niagara region. We have a very prestigious broadcasting program in the area, I believe it makes sense to have a station to keep some talent local.
How's this for a slap in the face?
"Today the CRTC announced that it would accept applications from other parties wishing to obtain a broadcasting licence (or licences) to provide an over-the-air digital/HD television service (or services) across Canada." - Digital Home Canada website.
It is very unfortunate that the TVN application has been denied. As a former Niagara Region resident I have been waiting for broadcast employment opportunites to arise in the Niagara Region so I could return to my roots but continue doing what I love.

I have done many performances in the Capital region to support the CRTC and their many campaigns for charity. I have made the decision to stop all work for them as this is the second time I have seen them rear their nasty heads and deny what I consider to be a vital and sensible vehicle for television in order to protect other "pet interests". I believe it is time that the government takes a good look at the practices of the CRTC. If you know of any organizations spearheading a closer look into the CRTC I would love to hear from you so that I can become a pro active Member
My wife and I only have an over the air (OTA) antenna. This is our main source of TV for our household. In Niagara, we are fortunate to live in one of the best OTA areas in the world, because of our proximity to both Canadian and US network transmitters!! It is annoying to me that a Niagara based TV station, the area where most of us could enjoy FREE, OTA HDTV, has been whored to one of the big companies. This is nothing more than a ploy to increase cable subscription in the area! I say let's contact ION TV in Batavia or WBBZ in Buffalo and let's see if they would be interested in taking over the vacant towers in our area! We could require X hours of Niagara, ON, Canada based programming be shown on their channels. Frustrating!

Happy Saturday everyone! While everyone is enjoying their weekend I'll be at work :( haha, but this week is going to be a little different as I've been watching more movies than TV shows. Enjoy!
9-1-1. This show is freaking awesome. If you've never heard of it check it out! It focuses on the daily ins and outs of a group of fireman and a dispatcher. The TV show is only three episodes in so I can't really give out too much information and that definitely means that you have time to join in and begin watching it. Runaways. I've read some of the comic by Brian K.Vaughan and absolutely loved it so I was extremely excited to see that it was becoming TV show. I'm only one episode in so I can't give you too many details except that it focuses on six teens who find out that their parents are not what they expected them to be. I'm really excited to watch and enjoy the rest of this series.
What have you watched this week?

Consultations- A complete and thorough clinical examination is the place to start for any medical problem, and we usually do that at your place, but you are certainly welcome to bring your horse in.
Lameness examinations- these can be done anywhere flat with firm footing. It usually requires someone to run the horse out so let us know if you are injured and can't run so we can bring a nurse with us.
Pre-purchase examinations- again this exam can be performed anywhere firm & flat. And even more important is the need to have someone who can run out with the horse. Repeatedly. You will be given a certificate of the examination findings.
Ultrasound- for prgenancy examinations . We require power, shade & a crush to perform this safely for both the vet & the horse. If you don't have those at your place, it's best you bring her to ours.
- for tendon injuries just power & shade so that should be fine at your place.
Radiography- our digital xray unit allows us to take the xrays at your place and see them straight away so that we can dicsuss management options instantly. Again we just need a level space with power and shade.
Endoscopy- our fibreoptic scope allows us to visualise the upper airway of your horse to examine for respiratory problems and examine the source of any discharge such as blood.
Dentistry- regular dental care is an essential part of your horse's health management.
Vaccinations- Tetanus, Strangles & Hendra are all vaccines that we recommend.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I am home sick today with a case of the "can't-breathe-can't-hear-can't-talk" disease. I'm thinking its a headcold or maybe some heightened allergies, although I'm not usually one to suffer during allergy season. Nevertheless, I am home with the pup catching up on emails, and yes, my blog.
Anyways, here was this Tuesday's Crossfit workout:
800m Run
3 Rounds of: 10 pushups, 10 situps
Skill Workout:
5 sets of 2 reps – Power Snatch *worked on drilling technique and execution*
Power Snatch – demo video
Workout of the Day:
15 min. AMRAP of:
1 clean and jerk, 1 box jump
2 clean and jerk, 2 box jumps
3 and 3, 4 and 4, etc. until time elapses.
Clean and Jerk – demo video
Cooldown: Stretch!
I brought my awesome sister-in-law, Alyssa to CrossFit with me today. She is a great athlete and showed up with some serious skill today! She just got home from college for the summer, so she will be working out with us alot! Excited 🙂
So about this sickness, here's what I am doing to take action:
- SLEEP. I've got so much on my plate that I can always catch up on this. Also, during sleep is when your body works on muscle repairs and immune function. So this is not to be undermined as a great "get-well" tool.
- Eat my veggies. I'm pretty good at this, but those leafy greens are great for the immune system and body repairs. So just to make sure, I had a great cup of "Greens and Beans" soup from B.B. Bistro this afternoon for lunch. Full of collards and garbanzos. Mmm. Followed by half a curried tuna wrap. Delish.
- Lots of fluids. Being well-hydrated will speed your recovery and allow your body to flush out the junk that's not making you feel great.
- REST. Exercise is generally ok to do when you're sick, as long as your symptoms are not flu-like. If you have a fever, upset stomach, etc. it's probably not a great idea. However, that said, keep the exercise to a moderate intensity. No CrossFit for me today! We will re-evaluate tomorrow…

If one does not pay attention - one would have thought our govt has introduced another new scheme. We have been calling it CPF for years since its introduction. Is using the 'new' reference name meant to down play the negative image of CPF ? Or perhaps it is to 'boost' international image that we have a 'pension' scheme rather than force saving which we the citizens has no control over ?
By using the word pension -it evokes the meaning of someone of retirement age claiming or receiving a sum of money regularly from the govt or private company.
We do NOT receive any pension from the state. Whatever money in the CPF is our own saving which the govt dictates what we can and cannot do with it - when we can draw it out, how much we can draw out,etc. The list of things we can and cannot do can go on...and on. That is how much restriction they imposed on money that does NOT belong to them. The CPF policies are forever changing with the ultimate aim to suck more money from us. Its image is getting from bad to worst over the years.

This looks bloody incredible! :O I will definitely be trying this out!
Healthy banana bread lovers, this one is for you. This is YOUR moment.
Well. It's mostly your moment- but in truth, you don't even need to be into healthy desserts to enjoy this incredible banana bread. It's for everyone.
…How do I know? I took it into work a couple of weeks ago -into an office full of sugar lovers- and they gobbled this up faster than you can say 'refined sugar free'. There were some very surprised looks when I told people it contained oat flour and maple syrup instead of white flour and sugar.
You know what that means?
1) You'd never be able to tell this was a healthier dessert
and most importantly,
2) Healthier ingredient swaps still make extremely tasty desserts! See my Vanilla and Matcha Green Tea Bread or my Easter Hot Cross Bun Bread for further proof 😉
I can't help feeling a little smug when people enjoy my desserts without realising that they're healthy. I feel so very stealthy and sly, like a kick-ass female James Bond.
As with most of my bakes these days, this banana bread was born from an evening of carefree experimentation. Poking about in the cupboards, grabbing ingredients and throwing them into the mixing bowl. Again I got lucky and this turned out beautifully. Soon, one might even deem me a proficient baker! Not to blow my own trumpet, but if you've tried my most recent recipe for this Chocolate Brownie Cake with Yogurt Berry Buttercream you'd quite possibly think so too. Damn, it's good.
Anyway, we're not here for the chocolate brownie cake. Today is, as I mentioned earlier, banana bread lovers day.
AKA: best day of the year.
Apart from Christmas.
…Or possibly pancake day. Or Easter. (both of which are coming up soon! EEK, who's excited?!).
But back on topic: this recipe can also be made into MUFFINS. YES! An even more transportable snack. I discovered this just a couple of evenings ago when I realised we had two extremely ripe bananas that needed to be whipped into something delicious, pronto. Don't cha just love re-purposing things? So much fun. (yes- I am in fact middle aged.)
If you do choose to make this banana bread mix into muffins, you'll need to pour the mix into a (greased) deep 12 hole muffin tin and bake them for about 20-25 minutes at 150 degrees celsius fan oven. YUM.
So now there's no excuse not to whip up a healthy, portable snack to take to work or university! This banana bread uses a ton of store cupboard ingredients, most of which you're likely to have in your cupboards already. Maple syrup can be a little expensive and hard to find, so if you don't have any, feel free to use honey as an alternative.
I like to use maple syrup in my sweet bakes because it has been shown to have one of the highest concentrations of nutrients and antioxidants of any other liquid or solid form of sugar, with higher quantities of zinc and manganese in particular. Additionally, it has a lower GI than regular sugar and will therefore spike your blood glucose levels in a more controlled manner.
Now, I'm certainly not advocating that you get the bulk of your dietary intake of vitamins and minerals from maple syrup! 😉 WHOLE FOODS FIRST, FRIENDS! However, research indicates that maple syrup is one of the more beneficial forms of sugar for our bodies, so for this reason it gets my vote as a treat to be enjoyed in moderation.
Top tip: If you're going to buy maple syrup, make sure to buy the real 100% maple syrup variety- not the maple flavoured type, which can be loaded with weird syrups and refined ingredients. Always read the label!
We all know that bananas are a fab source of fibre and potassium. What you may not know is that oats are a great prebiotic food– perfect for feeding your friendly gut bacteria! Those lil guys just love it when we do nice things for them.
So now that you know this bread contains the delicious AND nutritious factors… what are you waiting for?! Get that apron on my friend, it's time to bake!

But we are getting everything done. Actually, as I type, Evan is in the basement, packing up his manly-man power tools. He doesn't really mind or know that I'm not packing right now.
Even the plants are ready. They are just sitting in a neat little line by the door, ready to go.
We're excited though. This is a good move for us. I'm excited to spend more time with Evan and be near my family for a while.

I can't figure out how to create a 1st floor that has an opening in it because whenever I draw walls an Auto Floor is created (Auto Ceiling is also created). I have a Ground floor and a 1st floor. The 1st floor has a large opening in it but when I draw with the Floor Opening tool the Auto Floor hides the opening. This is very confusing. I would like to be able to draw my walls and floor separately but can't find a way.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to work without Auto Ceilings and Floors?

Re: Is there a way to work without Auto Ceilings and Floors?
Hi. Just remember that "floor opening tool" is in fact a "ceiling opening tool". If you want to make a hole in floor of the 1st floor, you have to go to the ground floor in the inspector and make a hole in the ceiling. You always make holes "upwards", not "downwards".

Pleaded guilty on Friday to two conspiracy counts
Paul Manafort, formerly President Donald Trump's campaign chairman, pleaded guilty on Friday to two counts and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors.
Prosecutor Andrew Weissman called Manafort's plea deal a cooperation agreement during an 11 a.m. hearing at the federal courthouse in Washington.
A charging document filed Friday in the District of Columbia accuses Manafort, 69, of participating in a conspiracy against the United States — involving money laundering, tax fraud, failing to file Foreign Bank Account Reports, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and lying and misrepresenting to the Department of Justice.
The second charge, conspiracy to obstruct justice, is tied to his efforts to guide witness testimony after he was indicted last year.
As part of the plea, Manafort would be required to admit to the conduct outlined in the charging document, which describes a criminal scheme to launder money, defraud banks, evade taxes and violate lobbying laws. The document describes the conduct Manafort was charged with in both Virginia and Washington and additional criminal conduct.
Upon entering his guilty plea, Manafort will forfeit three properties in New York — his home in the Hamptons, a property in Manhattan on Howard Street, and a property in Brooklyn — as well as a property on Edgewood Street in Arlington, Virginia, according to the filing.
In addition, Manafort will forfeit all funds contained in four bank accounts, as well as a life insurance policy.

Reflective writing on The Rea Garden residency so far
Mapping the Site
A way to get to know the site. A feel for its dimensions. Noticing features (walls, gate). Starting to feel serious, working on the site. Taking the site seriously. Exploration and discovery. Mapping uncharted territory. Limitations imposed by equipment (short tape measure). Some parts are difficult to access due to plants. Questions of accuracy and detail. A rough plan but becoming more detailed. Measuring the minimum amount of different distances – pieced together dimensions, guessed right-angles, multiplication of error as measurements add up. Rough plan map has its own character. Subject to change, estimates, confusion.
Digging Test Excavations
Hope, thrill of searching. Disappointment when no record pieces found. But excitement at the same time. Self imposed methodology – keeping strict rules of labelling, measuring, choice of excavation depth and location, but based on guesswork and mathematical superstition (second site must be 2m from first site. Again using rough right-angles). Intuition in testing surface. Rolling back turf is like opening a present. Again, a mixture of excitement and disappointment as spade hits rock or more burnt matter.
Hard physical work of digging and sieving every shovelful. Physical discomfort, fear of wasting my time, wasting my energy. Pushing my self to continue despite growing frustration. Overcompensating when finding anything vaguely interesting. Trying to keep up hope. Recognising beauty in semi-ordered pile of rubble next to sifted, sandy soil.
Digging to my self imposed rules, and the intense hope mixed with lack feels like a game I might have played as a child. I remember methodically grinding rocks in the back garden to make different coloured powders. A game taken very seriously. It really seemed to matter that I got enough of each colour. And frustration at a stone too hard to break. Slipping and crushing a finger between patio and rock. Playing very seriously with strict rules only known to me. Intense use of imagination to escape into a world of work. I feel like I'm reconnecting with a younger me before the end of childhood and the onset of anxiety and the pressures of having to act like a grown up.
Finding bits of records
Initial excitement on (before) the first visit to the site. Finding bits of broken records and imagining their potential. Frustration at only finding small pieces and elation at finding bigger pieces in places I wasn't expecting. Breaking the self-set rules of systematic recording, doing things in a certain order, sticking to set areas, with the elation of a new crop. This must be the temptation of a genuine archaeologist on making a discovery – rip it out of the ground, touch it and feel it, break off the dirt with two thumbs, look closely at the detail. Always imagining the potential in every piece. What sounds are there to be discovered? Why are these pieces here? Why are the fragments all broken up so much? Are there bigger pieces to be found deeper? Taking care with the pieces. Excited to try them out but cautious too, don't want to do anything I can't undo.

Nanoscale Characterization of Reed Stalk Fiber Cell Walls
Reed (Phragmites australis) is a natural biological material that has great potential as reinforcing material in bio-composites. In order to evaluate the potential of reed stalk for reinforcement, the microstructure, elemental composition, microfibril angle (MFA), and mechanical properties of fiber cell walls were investigated by means of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and nanoindentation, respectively. The effects of elemental composition and microfibril angle of reed fibers on the mechanical properties were also considered. The results indicated that reed fiber cells have a multilayered structure. The observed increase in lignin content and decrease in MFA may contribute to the increase of mechanical properties. The elastic modulus and hardness of fibers in the upper part of the reed stalk were higher than those of the lower part. Based on nanoindentation results found in the literature, reed fibers have higher elastic modulus and hardness than poplar and spruce fibers.

What a fun little craft! I just love it. And kids can learn so much from making this... Following directions, finger and hand dexterity in cutting out the paper decorations, and of course, once created, they can learn music tempo and rhythms through some fun self expression! Follow that beat! Who knows, this little project may inspire the next great percussionist in years to come! Super idea!

Throughout The Car Industry
MINI Reveals Countryman JCW, The Uber-CUV
While reviews of MINI's most controversial model have rated the Countryman from great to confusing, the company has seen fit to bring their performance-oriented badge to the Countryman's offbeat exterior. And so, a back roads-friendly John Cooper Works was born.
MINI has just released the first official teaser images associated with the Countryman JCW, to be sold as a 2012 model. Perhaps channeling the pseudo-utility of Ford's F-150 Raptor, the Countryman JCW should comfortably dominate modest soft road terrains with all the quick handling and pizzazz you'd expect from a proper MINI JCW.
Although the model is currently undergoing refinement and testing in Austria, we can expect to see a full unveiling at the Geneva Motor show in March. Power is anticipated to stem from the company's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 207 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque – a substantial bump over the current Countryman S. In addition to a power boost, the Countryman JCW will also get improved handling via sport-tuned suspension, larger anti-roll bars, and 10mm reduced ride height. MINI modestly projects that tech upgrades should amount to a 0-60 time below 7.6 seconds.
Former spy photos suggest this latest JCW will boast larger brakes and alloy wheels to match. A typical JCW body kit with front lip spoiler, aggressive side skirts, and potent rear fascia incorporating a dual exhaust system accentuate the exterior. And what JCW package would be complete without the appropriate black body stripes and badging?
Pricing and detailed specs will probably pop up in the coming months, but putting together the current information draws us to an interesting theory. A main reviewer complaint of the base Countryman is that the vehicle tries to accomplish too many traits without being really good at any one skill in particular. The Countryman JCW might provide enough oomph and nimble road handling to make up for concerns over ride height and sluggishness.
After all, who wouldn't want to fly around a mud pit, ski slope, or gravel road with a Countryman on steroids? Stay locked for more pics and tantalizing mental images as information becomes available. Will a JCW treatment be enough to give the Countryman a more positive driving experience or identifiable image? Your guess is as good as ours, but don't ponder over the Countryman's former label as a crossover or CUV – then we might have to come up with a new acronym.

From the 22nd of february on I will eat no more meat for the following 46 days. Or at least, that's the challenge.
'Days Without Meat (DWM) is an action for and by non-vegetarians. It's sort of a challenge to raise awareness, that teaches us about how much little things can do, but to also reduce our ecological impact in the longer term
The game takes place in the fasting period: from 22/2 to 7/4. Each vegetarian day saves 11m2 on your carbon footprint.'
|Left: me. Right: mr boyfriend. Just saying.
I will share with you my vegetarian recipes, straight from the kitchen.
If you want to have some inspiration in advance:
Mashes chickpeas with dill and garlic
Greek salad
Greek tomato-rice soup
So from the 22nd of february, this blog will be all vegetarian shizzle.
Until that day, I still have some delicious recipes with meat to share with all of you.
This, for example; is the easiest juiciest aussie-burger you've seen in your whole damn life.
The easiest flippin' aussie burger ever
Adapted from Jamie Oliver Magazine - jan/feb '12
4 split plain or sesame-seed buns
500 g lean ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
2 sliced canned beets
1 TBSP balsamico
150 gr grated cheese
parsley leaves, for serving
shredded lettuce , for serving
olive oil
salt & pepper
one: combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, grated cheese, salt and pepper in bowl, mix with hands to combine.
two: form mixture into 4 patties.
three: heat a grill to medium-high; lightly oil. Cook patties 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked through
four: build the burgers on the bottom half of each bun. The beetroot is best at the bottom together with the ketchup and a sprinkle of balsamico as the juices soak into the bread —if the beetroot is layered between the other stuff it's prone to dribbling juice all over the person eating the burger.
My preferred order is ketchup, beetroot, balsamico, lettuce, pattie, parsley leaves. This assures you maximum stability and minimum slipperiness. This is a well considered subject, people. A lot of tought and effort went into this shizzling plate of perfection.
five: enjoy the shit out if it.
|Yes, my framing went bonkers over here...
Notes: the original recipe from my source didn't ask for a fried egg, fried pineapple or fried bacon. And that's just fine by me. I can imagine how mouthwathering an aussie-burger with all of those toppings would be but I would have to run about 100 miles to get that much fat burned. Approximately. I actually have no idea. But this is the lighter, easier version of the full. Can we agree on that part?

Great Tips For Cooking Better Meals
Even if you only cook for your family, there is always something new to learn. Small changes can make even the simplest of meals memorable. Add these cooking tips to your collection, so you can enhance the flavors in your meals.
If you want to use skewers when cooking, remember these helpful hints. To get a better hold on the food, use a square or twisted type metal skewer.
When possible, complete all of the prep work in advance. Having everything prepared before you begin cooking is important. Cooking with a deadline to meet can become stressful. Begin your meal preparations as soon as possible to avoid last minute stress.
When you are making stir-fry dishes, make certain the meat is thinly sliced on the bias. Getting the perfect cut can sometimes be a challenge. Retrieve the meat after it has firmed a bit, and cut thin slices across the grain, holding your knife at a 45-degree angle to the cutting board.
This type of seasoning can be added to all types of foods other than meat. This type of seasoning can be applied to pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and even roasted peanuts to create a great on the go snack. No one will know how you made that tasty food!
Airtight Containers
When you store things like flour, baking mixes and sugar, you should use containers that are airtight. Airtight containers offer the advantages of keeping bugs out of your food products and keeping your food fresh for a longer period of time. Airtight containers can be purchased at many retailers.
Make big portions when preparing stock. Plan on preparing a large pot of stock in order to freeze it for storing. That tasty chicken stock is very versatile and can be perfect for your next stew, casserole or soup. Let your stock cool off and pour it inside Ziploc bags.
Lowering your oil amounts when cooking can help you have a healthier diet and lose weight. Oil or butter add more fat than necessary to your dishes. Try using nonstick cooking spray instead: this product does not contain anything unhealthy and works just like oil.
Freshest Garlic
When you are going to make a dish that requires garlic, be sure to buy the freshest garlic you can. Generally speaking, the freshest garlic will also have the sweetest taste. Fresh garlic usually has a firm skin and no bruises or soft spots.
Make a habit of washing your dishes as you use them when you cook. Have one side of the sink filled with fresh soapy water that's warm and put a clear water rinse in the other. Washing your dishes is easier if you do not wait until the food gets dry and sticky. Make sure you wipe your dishes and put them away for the next meal.
When you have a large or complicated meal to prepare, you can eliminate a lot of the stress by doing any prep work the day before. Always look at the recipe and do the menial tasks such as chopping and measuring in advance. Verify that you have all ingredients. When the time comes to make the meal, all you need to do is put it all together and cook it!
Don't start cooking until your preparations are finished. This keeps you safe, and saves you money. Working with hot pans and stoves while you are distracted with prep tasks is a recipe for injury, and you tend to leave burners and ovens on longer if you are still preparing ingredients.
When planning to barbecue, don't forget the lead time necessary to get the grill hot when you are ready to use it. The grill should be prepared 30 minutes before it is used for cooking. Cover the coals with ashes, and allow them to reach a medium heat. Grilling at this temperature is highly recommended.
There are different ways to heat up tortillas. For example, place the tortillas directly onto a rack in a oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. Remove the tortillas from the oven when they are sufficiently crispy. An alternate method is to hold a tortilla over a gas flame. You're tortilla will be tastier if you cook it that way.
Herbs and spices need to be kept in a dry, cool area, away from light. Spices quickly lose their flavor when they are exposed to excessive light, humidity, or heat. If you take good care of your ingredients, they will keep their flavor longer.
Certain Meals
Save some time on the preparation step of cooking. With certain meals, it is possible to make ingredients the day before you are going to cook. For certain meals, it is imperative to engage in longer preparation times to yield the best flavors. After you have cooked with advanced prep a few times, you may find it difficult to cook any other way again.
Even though you might want to wow them with a fancy dish, never cook a new dish for the first time when the person for whom you are cooking is important. You may want to show off your cooking skills to a boss, a new love interest, or your in-laws. Cook a dish you are familiar with in order to really give them your best.

Hi peeps
I took some time out to get up to date with a few Challenges.....well, the My Time to Craft Challenge this week is right up my street cos it is themed "Flowers". How brilliant!! An excuse to use lots of Prima's :O))
I was so happy about the theme, I got a little carried away and ended up making three cards LOL
Card 1
For this card, I used some Fancy Pants paper - can't remember the name of it though as I had already cut off the strip at the bottom! I co-ordinated the paper with Bazzill cardstock and edged the papers and card with Burnt Sienna Chalk Ink by ColorBox. I then stamped the Happy Birthday using the same ink and matted onto matching card and paper. I stuck the heavenly little Prima's to the card using silicone glue.
Card 2
More Fancy Pants papers and Bazzill Bling for this card. The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp - I love those words - which I stamped with Magenta VersaCube ink. I edged the paper and card with this same ink too. I added more Prima's using silicone glue.
Card 3
And finally, even more Fancy Pants papers...can you see a theme here? :O)) Same as before, I egded the papers and card, stamped a sentiment and then added Prima's to it.
Thanks to the ladies on MTTC Challenge for this theme - I have had lots of fun!
And thanks for looking

Match on action editing in His Girl Fridayby Oliver Gaycken
This clip from His Girl Friday demonstrates a powerful continuity editing technique, the match on action. Notice how the transition between the second and third shots is made to seem seamless by cutting according to the movement of Louie's head.
