With VioletsBook - 2008
Paris in the 1860s: a magnificent time of expression, where brilliant young artists rebel against the stodginess of the past to freely explore new styles of creating--and bold new ways of living.
Passionate, beautiful, and utterly devoted to her art, Berthe Morisot is determined to be recognized as an important painter. But as a woman, she finds herself sometimes overlooked in favor of her male counterparts--Monet, Pissarro, Degas.
And there is one great artist among them who captivates young Berthe like none other: the celebrated genius Édouard Manet. A mesmerizing, breathtaking rogue--a shameless roué, undeterred and irresistible--his life is a wildly overgrown garden of scandal. He becomes Berthe's mentor, her teacher...her lover, despite his curiously devoted marriage to his frumpy, unappealing wife, Suzanne, and his many rumored dalliances with his own models. For a headstrong young woman from a respectable family, an affair with such an intoxicating scoundrel can only spell heartbreak and ruin.
But Berthe refuses to resign herself to the life of quiet submission that Society has dictated for her. Undiscouraged, she will create her own destiny...and confront life--and love--on her own terms.
From the critics

At the Mountains of Madness Remix (2012)
It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be left alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.
--H. P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness
Another artifact from last summer's remix delirium. The blacks deepened. The snow thickened. The purples feathered and drifted.

Color Consultation
Choosing paint for your home or business can be very overwhelming with so many brands and colors to choose from! Color is not pigmented logically. And what you see in a store will look different in your home or office with your existing furniture, accessories, and lighting! Colors Matter will come to your home or office and work with YOUR preferences to create depth, warmth, and balance with the right color. Color does matter, and can change the emotional feel of a room, promote healing, and increase motivation. Call for a quote!
Special Needs
Special Needs is not limited to a condition. It can be an intellectual and developmental disorder, or a recent accident that changed an individual from ambulatory to restricted mobility. Your environment can encourage healing, coping, and the recovery process. Color affects brain waves and is a powerful brain stimulus. Colors can change the ability to learn and increase memory. Color can also evoke emotional and aesthetic qualities. Through the use of color, individuals with cognitive overload can learn easier. Individuals that have experienced a stroke, Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain injuries are sensitive to color. Color can help with emotional, physical, and mental rehabilitation.As a communication tool, color can promote a positive, calming effect on the child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down's Syndrome, ADD, ADHD and Asperger's Sydrome. Patients with limited physical capabilities have marked improvement and increased strength in a colorful environment.
Call Colors Matter to assist with a loved one in your life!

Games room, cladding has started.
It feels like the building is taking longer than I expected, as there seems to be so much work in attaching brackets and other detail work. Still it should be covered in next week (hopefully).
Labels: Wargames room

Please make sure that it is properly wired for GOOD lighting. I have been in too many "game rooms" that lacked sufficient light . . . and I'm sure that you've experienced that too.ReplyDelete
Particularly as we age our eyes tend to weaken . . . so overdoing available lighting is better than underdoing it.
-- Jeff
I hear you Jeff, I have big windows on either end of the building and am putting three lights down the centre of the room. There are three sets of shelving which have lights wired in which I may have to do some repair work on before they are fitted. Hopefully any more lighting needed will come from uplights which can stand in each corner if necessary.ReplyDelete

On March 11, a day laborer from the Cypress Park Community Job Center (IDEPSCA) came to visit the members of the Downtown Center to share his knowledge and experiences with drywall.To make this class possible, a donation of materials was first obtained from the Home Depot and Jose Martinez. Additionally, David Gomez decided to donate his time to share his knowledge. David has a lot of experience in construction and gardening work and he was well received by the Downtown workers, who paid close attention and collaborated in this class. This class was an important tool to provide more skills to increase job opportunities for the workers.The class lasted a bit over two hours, and David brought his tools and explained their functions and trade practices. This one of the classes that are provided for day laborers that are not only waiting for work, but also collaborate as volunteers to promote the centers and invite other day laborers congregating at the corners.Those of us with the opportunity to work alongside these day laborers have come to know them in many aspects, but especially as human beings willing to earn the term "day laborer."The biggest success is that they support one another, develop leadership skills and share space, work, skills and experiences!!Support the day laborers!!!

Braves top the Padres 5-2
ATLANTA, Ga. —

Inciarte would also hit a homerun in the sixth inning to help assure success in the first regular season game at Sun Trust Park.

[Elecraft] The "Kinda Random Antenna" (was: Random wire lengths for antennas)
I'd call an ad-hoc antenna that works on multiple bands with an ATU a "Kinda-Random Antenna" (KRA). (Apologies to linguistic purists.)
A simplified definition might be:
A. long enough to work within the maximum limits of the ATU's L-network on
the lowest band used
B. presents a reasonably low impedance on all bands used (e.g., doesn't look
like an end-fed half-wave)
ATUs have limited monotonicity and granularity, as well as stray impedances, so
in practice there is a third criteria:
C. tunable on each band used despite specific L-network idiosyncrasies
This third criteria is the hardest one to predict for a given ATU design, as
the idiosyncrasies vary with PCB layout and actual component values. They may
only impact the highest bands, or for a particular antenna, the bands on which
Q is the highest. For our ATU designs, we try to minimize strays and keep the
network monotonic by using tightly toleranced capacitors and toroidal
While a wide range of wire lengths will meet the requirements of a "KRA" in the field, we've found from experience that something in the 25'-28'(7.5-8.5 m) range works on all bands from 40 meters up, and roughly twice (15-17 m) this for 80 meters up.
Since it's impossible to predict the effect of ground losses, obstructions, deployed wire angles, etc., you may occasionally need to add or remove wire to obtain resonance on all bands used. 73, Wayne N6KR

Hot Corn Dip and the Art of Being a Noob
Let me apologize first, because my photos for this dish aren't that spectacular. That being said, don't let the photos discourage you because this dish courtesy of The Pioneer Woman is amazing! Loaded with cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise,… basically a calorie-fest, this summer dip is one that you definitely want to share with friends. There is just one "bone" I want to pick with this recipe, the name. "Hot Corn Dip" doesn't accurately describe this dish. It should be renamed, "Spicy Corn Dip" or "Tex-Mex Corn Dip". The title should denote that this dish, is in fact, very spicy. So palettes beware, the "hot" in this dish comes from spice not temperature.
Now that we got that out of the way, let me share with you my noob-experience cooking this dip.
I saw the pictures from The Pioneer Woman and thought, "pssh! Easy! I can do that!" and made it my mission to make the dip over the weekend. I shopped at the grocery store and was happy that all the ingredients were easy to find. Then it came time to cook…. and that's where my noob-ness kicked in. Jalapeno peppers and I don't have a great relationship. Don't get me wrong, I love cooking with hot peppers. I love eating them in plenty of dishes. But somehow or another, I always manage to injure myself when prepping them.
Last time I was putting them in some slow-cooker tacos and I forgot to wash my hands… rubbed my eyes…. and spent a good 45 minutes pouring milk into my eyes whilst crying from the pain. (Did I mention I can be a huge noob sometimes?). This time I was prepping the dip, de-seeded the peppers, chopped them finely, tossed them in this glorious dip…. and moved on to the next cooking step. No where in my brain did I remember to: 1. wear gloves when cooking with hot peppers, and 2. If you do bare-hand it, wash your hands immediately afterward to get the juices off! (You can't hear me audibly sighing right now… but I totally am).
So I made the dip. And it tasted great. About halfway through dinner my fingers, (yes, all 10), began to tingle and burn. That's when I remembered the peppers. By then it was too late. My knuckles were red and sore. On went the burn cream and aloe. Mr. Noob Chef was feeding me chips and dip since my hands were out of commission.
Lesson learned: when handling hot peppers, wash your hands, preferably wear gloves, and if you have one lying around…. wear a haz-mat suit 😉 Enjoy this tasty, (and spicy), recipe everyone and have an awesome day! ❤

Greetings from the founders of IST
IST already counts almost 30 years of presence in the field of higher education in Greece. Today we are very happy because the principles and foundations we laid together with a group of professors upon the college's establishment in 1989 supported IST and led to its rapid development and growth.
IST has grown and established itself as one of the leading educational institutions at university level in Greece, thanks to our persistence, hard work and dedication to a common vision: provide quality education to our graduates and render them suitable candidates for the labour market.
At IST, we know that the knowledge and skills cultivated at an educational institution are fundamental for one's personal and professional development. At IST, we know, via our longstanding successful presence, that education is an ongoing process that accompanies a person throughout its life. This is why at IST we are always a step ahead, we adopt new innovative approaches to learning, teaching and research and we expand our partnerships with prestigious foreign Universities, our main focus being the student and the link of education to the labour market.
Today, IST enjoys an active presence in three main academic fields: Business and Economics, Computer Science, Humanities & Health Sciences offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, flexible supported distance learning programmes in collaboration with prestigious foreign Universities as well as two-year- vocational training programmes.
As a business-facing university, IST is focused on linking education with the labour market, with a commitment to adding value to employers and enterprise while at the same time ensuring that its students will acquire the necessary skills essential for a successful career. It aims at cultivating an environment which supports, encourages and promotes entrepreneurship and innovation among its students. The aforementioned aims are achieved via programmes of study corresponding to the needs of the Greek market, via an agreement with the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry aiming at enhancing the competitiveness of Greek enterprises and economy, via continuous enrichment of courses in collaboration with businesses, but also via a plethora of activities, such as the organization of a series of events for students (seminars, talks, conferences, educational visits, the entrepreneurship and innovation competition "Crazy Business Ideas", etc.)
Our educational services are globalised through partnerships with prestigious foreign Universities, but also through enrolling students from abroad. Our academic staff is renowned in the academic and professional community of Greece and contributes to the developments of science with primary research and active participation in scientific conferences. We are particularly happy today to welcome you to IST's state of the art facilities that will make you feel a member of a dynamic community and will help you to succeed in your studies. We are certain that you too will be proud to study at one of the most modern educational institutions in Greece and join a dynamic student community.
We wish you every success in fulfilling your goals.
Dr Drakoulis Fountoukakos - Dr George Kastrinakis
Greetings from the Rector of IST
As the Rector of IST, I am responsible for the design and implementation of its academic operations and I am honored to welcome you.
I would like to assure you that, in its almost 30 years of operation, our Institution, remains firmly committed to key principles regarding knowledge and learning ensuring their acceptance and establishment. These principles are simple, logical and easily comprehensible since they have been born in Greece and should have been established, given their wide acceptance.
- Continuation of Learning
- No barriers to Knowledge
The first principle is obvious: Who would have the right to ask someone to stop learning?
The second principle refers to the most valuable, perhaps, human component that accompanies an individual since birth.
Based on the above, IST educates young people with principles and values that were born in Greece and are currently applied to the entire humanity. IST, with the same principles, supports the synthesis of views and ideas and the amalgamation of healthy forces and efforts. It links education with multiple notions, such as science, work, society, health, culture, justice and above all, high quality studies.
Within this framework, IST conducts research, organizes scientific events such as conferences, workshops and scientific contests, designs and implements seminars on contemporary issues of science and technology, offers scholarships and successfully supports scientific research, while at the same time, it directs the youth towards entrepreneurship events and awards them for innovative, business ideas.
As such, IST focuses on exploiting scientific knowledge, on operating with international educational standards of higher education and on modernising and constantly evolving, through internationally certified quality procedures. So, as we all believe in IST, our Institution will always be in a position to provide contemporary and quality education, which will meet international requirements and trends and will be linked to the labour market requirements. Regarding the latter, IST never ceases to cooperate with businesses and organisations, with a view to ensuring a successful career for each graduate. The ultimate purpose of this sophisticated and complex effort regarding activities is one: to inspire our students to: "Be confident and proud of what they set out to do", i.e. study.
In conclusion, I wish to emphasize that IST is currently developing new curricula with renowned foreign Universities in many scientific fields such as Management, Economics, Informatics and Health.
Professor Eleftherios A. Papathanassiou, BSc, PhD.
IST Rector
Greetings from Sir Tim Wilson
Welcome to IST in Athens, Greece. IST is an independent higher education institution that specialises in preparing its graduates for successful and enterprising careers.
How do you measure success in higher education? The strongest measure has to be the employment record of the graduates. We are extremely proud of the achievements of our alumni; they provide us with strong evidence that the education they receive at IST is highly relevant to the needs of a 21st century economy. At this period in history, it is very clear that gaining knowledge and learning facts is simply not enough to sustain a career; graduates have to develop the skills of communication, team working, lateral thinking, critical debate, and an entrepreneurial mindset. It is the development of these skills that underpins the education provided at IST for its students.
By working in partnership with leading European universities, IST brings many opportunities for its students studying in Athens - gaining a degree from a prestigious international university and acquiring high level skills relevant to employment.
At IST we are in the business of providing our graduates with a competitive advantage in the employment market. I sincerely hope you see studying at IST as a step towards a successful career in the global marketplace.
Sir Tim Wilson
Advisor to IST on issues regarding link of education with the labour market

2019 Bichon Frise Calendars
These Bichon Frise Calendars feature the small, sturdy, white powder puff of a dog whose merry temperament is evident by their plumed tail carried jauntily over their back. The Bichon's coat puffs out all over, rather than hanging down. They are small, sturdy dogs that are slightly larger than a Maltese. The ears are set high on the head and drop down, if ever you could see them in the poil frise (curly coat). Bichon Frise (Bichons) love to be the center of attention and are always eager to please. This Tenerife Dog is a bouncy, friendly dog that will exercise with their owner to the end. Bichons are perky, playful and friendly to all. They are affectionate, responsive, and are apt to cuddling. They make a delightful and amusing companion. Used in the show ring often, their coats require much grooming and intricate care to maintain the accepted puffy appearance. Bichon a Poil Frises can often be seen in doggy beauty parlors. Although they are small and appear high maintenence, Norwegian farmers have recently discovered that this breed can be trained to round up sheep! The Bichon is also free of skin problems, as many small white-haired dogs are not. Gentle-mannered, sensitive, and very playful the Bichon Frise is good with children and other pets. Bichon Frise Calendars make great gifts.

Hawaii Needs Long-Term Plan for Long-Term Care
Hawaii Needs Long-Term Plan for Long-Term Care
By the Rev. Samuel L. Domingo – Posted January 20, 2016, in Star Advertiser
Caring for our community means something different in Hawaii than it does anywhere else in the country.
We know the value of family and community, and the important role our elders play in both.
Leviticus 19:32 tells us: "Rise in the presence of the aged and honor the elderly face-to-face!" There is a moral imperative in taking care of our elders, and God expects us to do that.
When given the choice, 90 percent of people over age 65 prefer the notion of staying home to receive care rather than moving to a facility.
Family members are often incredible caregivers, but providing that care creates financial and emotional stress. Supporting home caregiving means Hawaii can honor the wishes of our seniors, as well as help caregiving families who work so hard to keep their loved ones at home safely.
Every eight seconds, someone in the country turns 65 years old. As U.S. demographics shift, Hawaii's population is aging even more rapidly, and living longer than mainland counterparts.
According to the February 2014 "State of Hawai'i Healthcare Innovation Plan," the number of residents over age 60 has increased 300 percent since statehood. As the demographic makeup of our state changes, we need to change the way we provide care for older residents. We need a long-term plan for long-term care.
In 2016, Hawaii's legislators will have a chance to create a new piece of care infrastructure for our state: access to a certain amount of resources each day for a year to assist in paying for in-home care through the creation of a long-term care benefits trust fund.
This fund isn't meant to cover a stay in a long-term care facility like a nursing home or assisted living. It's meant to help family caregivers give their loved ones successful long-term care at home, by helping them to hire companion care or invest in equipment like walkers and ramps.
In my church, many find themselves caring for loved ones at home, and paying for that out of their own pockets. Senate Bill 727 would ensure a long-term care benefit of $70 per day for 365 days and establish a "care floor," ensuring that everyone could access basic resources to provide care at home.
As a state, we need to pull together to address that cost, so that all of us can help our elders enjoy their senior years at home with their families.
Our church has a very active ministry for the elderly. Members who are part of the Alzheimer's group or the Senior Day Care Program know how important it is to be able to keep their family members at home. I am one of them: my in-laws live with my family; my father-in-law is in hospice care, and we had to bring help into our home to assist in his care. We know the enormous amount of work it takes to keep our loved ones at home with us, as well as the cost; $70 a day for a year would go very far in helping us and many other caregiving families manage those costs.
Hawaii's leadership on this issue is tied directly to our cultural understandings of the role of elders in our communities and the importance of shared responsibility; it is our kuleana.
Hawaii has the incredible opportunity to be the national leader on innovative public policy to provide assistance to family caregivers. Our policy makers need to recognize their kuleana to help everyone take better care of their loved ones by passing this bill.
Caring for our elderly is a privilege. There is no more important social issue than for us to champion care for our elders. We should embrace every opportunity to support efforts to help caregiving families. As the old saying goes, "A burden shared is a burden halved."
PICO Training and Aston Waikiki Action
FACE Hawaii — with members from both Oahu and Maui — had a wonderful two-day training this past weekend on community organizing offered by the People Improving Communities through Organizing ("PICO") National Network. The training was focused on recognizing the roles of privilege and power, creating trust between the members our organization, the importance of sharing our stories and turning those stories into action. This training was put to work on Friday night when we joined UNITE HERE! Local 5 in a prayer vigil for Aston Waikiki hotel workers fighting for dignity on the job.
Friday night's action included a peaceful protest in the lobby and on the front steps of the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, where workers are saying they have been harassed and discriminated against for organizing to create a union, and are protesting labor practices and low wages.

OOTD #90: My $11 Dress
Hey beau's ! It's been a long week for me with my grandma passing. My family decided to get out of the house and have some fun so we went to see Black Panther. The 12 of us piled into a few cars and then lines two rows in the theater. The movie was soooooooooooooooo good, I was literally on the edge of my seat for half the movie. Can I just say I loved the representation of women's strength and power? I also loved all the fine eye candy in the movie, heeeeeyyyyy Michael B Jordan ;). But seriously I recommend you round up your gyals or take your guy out and go see it! I was a little disappointed with some of the African accents, but impressed by the authentic Swahili. The costumes were AH-MAZING I couldn't stop myself from cheering when I saw Jordan with his black panther suit with the leopard print mask!
Now let's talk about what I word. My look consisted of a striped shift dress with a red rose print that I purchased at Ross Dress for Less for only $10.99. As soon as I laid eye on it I knew I had to have it. The print reminded me of Betsey Johnson and you babes know I live for Betsey. I accessorized the look with a black and gold striped clutch that was actual Betsey Johnson and so we're my black bow sandals. I completed the look with a bare face and a bold red lippie.

Sec 1 class chalet from Wednesday to Friday, but I came back on Thursday night. And I wasn't free yesterday, that's why I'm only blogging now.
I still don't have the "we're not gonna go school together anymore" feel with my schoolmates currently because it feels just like any other holiday. I would probably feel it after another month. But I'm pretty sure I'll miss everyone.. The 4 years felt more like 4 months. Everything happen too fast. But I hope everyone feels the same so there will be more possibility to meet up. Secondary school is the place where everyone witness each other growing. The appearance changes the most and you get more mature. That's probably why more people remember secondary friends rather than primary school ones after they get older, because we are young adults, right?
I'll blog more and try my best to get back the readers I had in my old blog.
I miss blogging so much. ):

CHICAGO — Daniel Murphy found out Stephen Strasburg was starting Game 4 on Wednesday when his wife texted him. Bryce Harper found out when he showed up at Wrigley Field. Jayson Werth found out when he checked the lineup card and saw Strasburg's name on it. They all had a similar response.
"I was like, 'Okay, here we go,' " Werth said.
Strasburg didn't know he was starting — and ultimately saving the Nationals' season — until Wednesday morning. He went to bed Tuesday sick. He woke up still under the weather but feeling better — not great, but good enough to call pitching coach Mike Maddux to tell him he wanted to pitch with the season on the line.
"Just give me the ball," Strasburg implored.
Nationals brass obliged, and Strasburg went on to pitch the game of his life, striking out 12 — a franchise playoff record — over seven scoreless innings in Washington's 5-0 win five years after his infamous shutdown. Strasburg has allowed earned runs in one of his previous 66 innings and hasn't allowed one in the postseason. After striking out 10 in Game 1, Strasburg is the third pitcher in National League history with 10-plus strikeouts in a single postseason. Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax are the other two.
[Boswell: Stephen Strasburg might be ailing, but he left the Cubs sick]
"For him to be able to cowboy up tonight and do his job . . . shows how much of a great teammate he is," Harper said. "Just a warrior, to be able to go out there and throw that gem that he did for us."
Said Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman: "I don't think it told us anything we didn't already know. When he's healthy and he's on the mound, he's one of the best, if not the best, pitchers in the game. To have him come out and do that in a spot like that was obviously huge."
A day earlier, Strasburg didn't think his chances of pitching in Game 4 were high Tuesday night after the Nationals decided Tanner Roark would take the ball, setting off a storm of confusion, speculation and derision in the sports world. His mind was on checking into the team's new hotel — the one they stayed in the previous two nights couldn't accommodate them for a third — and getting to sleep. Antibiotics weren't helping. He was feeling crummy.
"Stras was sick all week," Harper said. "I knew that. He came in the other day and his face was the color of that carpet."
The carpet to which Harper referred was green.
"It was a challenge," Strasburg said. "It seemed like once we got here, you know, I got hit pretty hard with this virus. It seemed to suck the life out of me every single day."
[Svrluga: The Nats survived the wildest day in franchise history. Now they can write new history.]
Nationals Manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg took intravenous fluid and other anti-inflammatories, but the 29-year-old Strasburg attributed his health improvement to a switch in antibiotics. He said the toughest challenge during the game was staying warm between innings. Other than that, it was business as usual as he looked like the pitcher who has been muzzling lineups since coming off the disabled list since mid-August.
"Whooo, man, he was good," Murphy said. "How many punch-outs did he end up having? Just, change-up any time. Fastball was electric. He was able to get back in the count with the curveball and throw it for the kill. He had it all working tonight. It was fun to watch."
As for the whirlwind of criticism and second-guessing the Nationals' initial decision made Tuesday night, Strasburg said he didn't pay attention. He was sleeping for most of it. He insisted didn't have anything to prove anyway — at least not to outsiders.
"Not to you guys, no," Strasburg said. "No, you guys create the drama. But I know, like I said earlier, I have faith in every other guy in this clubhouse and I know the coaching staff feels the same. So we're in it together, and when one guy goes down, you have to trust that the other guy is going to pick up the slack."

ADS-B Stations
All based on Raspberry Pi microcomputers, only major difference is radio equipment used:
Benchmark: rtl-sdr.com v.3 (review here, $20 receiver only, buy at manufacturer or on Amazon USA) connected to Uputronics 1090 MHz filtered preamp (review here, $45 at UK manufacturer or USA distributor) on a FlightAware antenna ($45 on Amazon USA, similar prices elsewhere). I consider this setup to be the ultimate for ADS-B reception this side of spending big money.
FlightAware Pro Stick Plus (review here, $19 on Amazon USA, similar prices at other distributors) on a homemade antenna. The performance-obsessed's penny-pincher choice.
FlightAware Pro Stick (review here, $17 on Amazon USA) on a DIY antenna. Built-in amplification.
Generic $8 RTL-SDR dongle, no amplification nor filtering on a homemade antenna.
Connectors and pigtails are from Nooelec, I've given up on unreliable Far East wonders a long time ago.
Back-end computing consists of two ModMyPi Starter Kits (review, shop) and two Pis of my own.
Location description and minuscule details in February's test diary. Homemade antennas are Coketennas, my simplified construction take on the popular cantenna concept:
This is not a scientific test, pro or contra trying to prove any agenda - simply put, I placed four antennas next to each other, then let them collect signals without any user intervention for a long time frame.
Compiled into a spreadsheet from FlightAware's control panel:
10-day Totals in a chart:
Benchmark setup was the best, unsurprising considering that all components represent the pinnacle of affordable ADS-B signal reception. 17.64% more position reports than a Pro Stick Plus and a homemade antenna.
Pro Stick Plus and a homemade antenna for $20 total equipment cost continues to surprise.
Pro Stick had less position reports than a Plus - filtering seems to work.
Plain vanilla dongle and a homemade antenna, for maybe $10 cash outlay, had half the totals of benchmark. On a botched Coketenna - I only cut off the bottom, so height is way off, still, not too bad for the price of two beers and 10 minutes of construction time.
Polar plots comparison
Best day's data, Totals from FlightAware, coverage off planefinder:
Draw your own conclusions, or read mine below.
Closing thoughts
Hardcore ADS-B enthusiasts should go for the benchmark setup, because bias-T capability in v.3 enables filtered preamp to be placed right at the antenna, so long coax runs with low-loss coax can be easily used for perfect unobstructed line of sight. If the preceding sentence did not make sense, or hundred-dollar bills don't stick to your bare feet when you get up for the 5am morning shift, a Pro Stick Plus and a homemade antenna won't be significantly worse for ADS-B only.
Best overall choice? In terms of equipment from this list, I'd go for the orange Pro Stick due to onboard amplification. Price difference is small versus an unbranded dongle and ADS-B performance is in a completely different division. Furthermore, it can be used for general listening unlike a filtered setup, with spectacular results on data signals.
