A book, and an industry, and WE pay the price!

Cautionary Statement
The specified diagnostic criteria for each mental disorder are offered as guidelines for making diagnoses, because it has been demonstrated that the use of such criteria enhances agreement among clinicians and investigators. The proper use of these criteria requires specialized clinical training that provides both a body of knowledge and clinical skills. These diagnostic criteria and the DSM-IV Classification of mental disorders reflect a consensus of current formulations of evolving knowledge in our field. They do not encompass, however, all the conditions for which people may be treated or that may be appropriate topics for research efforts. The purpose of DSM-IV is to provide clear descriptions of diagnostic categories in order to enable clinicians and investigators to diagnose, communicate about, study, and treat people with various mental disorders. It is to be understood that inclusion here, for clinical and research purposes, of a diagnostic category such as Pathological Gambling or Pedophilia does not imply that the condition meets legal or other nonmedical criteria for what constitutes mental disease, mental disorder, or mental disability. The clinical and scientific considerations involved in categorization of these conditions as mental disorders may not be wholly relevant to legal judgments, for example, that take into account such issues as individual responsibility, disability determination, and competency.
Oh my, can you feel the breeze that just went up into the room, as the contingent of psychiatrists just agreed upon the newest of their "invented" nomenclatures for diagnosis?
The above statement is the opening statement from the DSM IV. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders.
This book, is the bible of the psychiatric community, it is the invented tome of their diagnostic al information and it is accepted in many courts, don't accept that last paragraph is as comical to me, as an episode of "Tom and Jerry"!
Yes, it is taken in consideration for legal cases and judgments against persons who will stand powerless to argue against the almost unlimited power of the word of the "mind-merchants"!
I talk about this a lot because the profession can ruin lives, and destroy the structure of our entire society! I am a walking poster for individuality and the truth that we are each a decisively special piece of the entirety of the world, simply due to my being the only one of myself. Each of you has the same distinction.
Why do we focus so much on what is wrong with us? Isn't there any reason to become more proud of what is right, in deference to my emotional issues, I can say only one thing: "Leave me the hell alone, sometimes, OK!?"
This quote comes from a famous author:
"I think that we're all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better – and maybe not all that much better after all."
From <https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/72139-i-think-that-we-re-all-mentally-ill-those-of-us>
What in the hell is this all about?
I see it that we all live in the world that has serious issues that can produce an abnormal set of responses to the traumas that they cause in a person's mind. But that, I feel, makes us more normal than not! Stephen should stick to his seriously overrated writing, and stay away from using a self-descriptive as a generic term!
Don't we have enough stigma to overcome?
Ok, we have a long way to go in the flight to arrive at understanding the workings of the human mind, but this is not just hit-or-miss here, this is about saving lives, and reducing pain.
So, I'd like to add my own word and definition to the "Non-DSM I"
- Personhood- the validity of the existence of a life form of the human variety. Born with all of the features and rights that are naturally asses with that existence. An individual human, who if needed, should receive optimal care and healing.
As I read the "other" book, I noticed that it was very general in its form and its function, it was as if breathing the same air, made us all the same being. Preposterous as it may sound, some institutions would love for us to be treated in such a way!
I had a teacher when I was a kid who told me that "only crazy people talk to themselves!" I told her that, I wondered if the person who was listening to that private conversation, is crazier than the one who was doing the talking?
I talk to myself even today, and I know that I'm not the only one who does this. I'm in good company! I wonder if that teacher ever got the point that what I was saying is that she should be minding her own damned business? Hmmm, I should look her up and ask her.
A counselor at my middle school asked me why I laughed when I saw a boy slip and fall on the ice. I told him: I laughed out loud, the same way people have done to me, it just looks funny! I noticed that you, bit your tongue to keep from doing the same thing, that makes you the strange one here, huh?
What is normal and abnormal, is coopted to the particular situation and the person who is observing the event. I can see an accident and wonder why the idiot just didn't slow down, while still being concerned about his safety. Or I can see someone who gets punched in the face and find it to be a funny thing to have seen, depending on why the punch was thrown.
One thing I'll never understand though, is why we destroy a person's humanity for being emotionally injured? Why do we find suffering to be funny? Institutional destruction of the human being is nothing new, it's as old as the species, but now, we have a better grasp on the ludicrousness of such bull, and we should be far beyond the nonsense of being so contrived as to need to degrade someone for our own relevance!
Emotional illness is caused by trauma, and we need to get busy in finding healing methodology that has a chance to work across a widely dispersed spectrum, and not pinpointed identifications that give the illusion that work is being done.
Their own cautionary statement tells us that we can't trust the pages to tell us anything of hard substantive importance, it's just agreed upon BS!
Disagree? I'd sure like to here the opposing points because I'm not playing an expert here, just an observer who is being treated according to the assumptions that have been included inside of this "book" of professionally contrived identifiers.
Help me, I need a truth-burger, I'm starving from not eating the bullshyte garbage platters they're trying to sell me!
Good health, happy hours, belly laughter until you can't breathe!

Tossing the Appliance Repair Job to Professional Technicians
Some appliance owners are still hesitant to have their broken appliances worked on by a professional technician because they think that the service is expensive. If you are going to be critical about it, you can save more when the appliance repair in Houston, TX is handled by a well seasoned technician. The technician has the ability to diagnose the issues of your appliances rather than following an erroneous method from your DIY manual.
Before you seek out the help of a professional, do not forget to check if the appliance is still under warranty. If it is covered with warranty still then you can bring it to the store where you bought it for free service repair. However, if the appliance is no longer under warranty then that is the time a professional technician will enter the picture.
Here are the things that you need to examine before hiring a company that will repair your home appliances:
(1) Business stability and longevity
The very first thing that you need to ask is if the company has been around for awhile in terms of installing and repairing home appliances. There are repair shops that are family operated while there are some that are branches of a national appliance repair company. Decide which one is more reliable depending on the experiences of previous customers.
(2) Check if the technicians are trained
You cannot run the risk of having your appliances checked by an inexperienced technician. As much as possible, the technicians should be certified and insured. Moreover, the company should also provide compensation coverage just in case any of its technicians damaged some of your appliances at home.
(3) Assess the instock parts
According to professionals, a repair company is more reliable if it has instock parts for the installation and repair. A repair job is more solid if the company has all the parts that you need rather than you looking for other parts somewhere else.
When getting appliance repair in Houston, TX, it is necessary for the technician to have deep experience and knowledge when it comes to installation and repair. If you need an expert in refrigerator repair, go for technicians who are highly specialized. Hiring a general contractor will do but small details about the refrigerator issue may be missed out.

Huey, a San Francisco based native, has his musical roots in the Blues and Doo Wop, with a heavy back beat. Catchy hooks, great melodies and excellent musicianship are what you get at a Huey Lewis show. No, Huey doesn't wear a fancy suit, spandex pants, or a tie with lights in it, but just a tee shirt and jeans work great for him. He is witty, fun, and is just simply "one of the guys". I did talk to his main guy Johnny Colla, songwriter, saxophonist, guitar player, and his arranger. Johnny simply said to me- "Que Paso" It's just another day at the races!

Judge Doherty Will Not Seek Re-Election
A longtime North Olympic Peninsula lawyer and jurist says he will not seek re-election to his Forks-area District Court 2 judge position.
70 year-old Judge John H Doherty of Beaver emailed his decision Monday to Clallam County Bar Association members.
Doherty told the PD Tuesday he would rather spend the next four year doing something else – like carpentry or electrical work.
Doherty is a native of Clallam County and a 1966 Port Angeles High School graduate, has been a lawyer for 42 years.
Doherty was appointed to the District 2 judgeship in 2012, succeeding Erik Rohrer, who was elected to Clallam County Superior Court. Doherty won election to the position unopposed in 2014.
John D. Black, a Sequim resident who practices in Forks, announced March 9 that he plans to seek the part-time judgeship.
Doherty said he does not plan to endorse Black, and Black said Tuesday that he was hoping that Doherty would not run for re-election.
Filing week for the Nov. 6 general election is May 14-18.

Justin Scoggins to Face Pedro Munhoz at UFC Fight Night in Sao Paulo on Nov. 19
Justin Scoggins will make his 135-pound debut against Pedro Munhoz at UFC Fight Night 100 (live odds) on Nov. 19.
Promotion officials announced the matchup on Wednesday. UFC Fight Night takes place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo and is headlined by a light heavyweight duel between Alexander Gustafsson and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
Scoggins' first bantamweight foray will come after the fighter missed weight badly ahead of a scheduled showdown against Ian McCall at UFC 201 that was ultimately canceled. Prior to that, the 24-year-old had scored back-to-back 125-pound triumphs over Ray Borg and Josh Sampo.
Munhoz, meanwhile, was victorious in his first appearance of 2016, as he submitted Russell Doane with a guillotine choke 2:08 into the opening round at UFC Fight Night "Dos Anjos vs. Alvarez" on July 7. The former Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion is 2-2 with one no contest in the promotion overall.

China and India share what can be called a complicated relationship. The two nations are separated by the snow-bound Himalayas. However, they have a history of cultural and commercial exchange reaching back thousands of years. An aspect that has flourished despite the hostility generated by war and border disputes. Walking through the markets in any sizable Indian city, one would sooner rather than later stumble upon stores selling Chinese smartphones – Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Gionee. For the first four decades of their existence, the two Republics were considered close rivals. But China has leapfrogged in terms of development (since Deng Xiaoping's watershed reforms), leaving India far behind. The rapid military, economic and social development of the People's Republic of China has generated a certain amount of suspicion and envy among the Indian elite.
Indian publications characterize their giant trans-Himalayan neighbor as a major threat. China dominates the global manufacturing and export business, and has outstripped India in terms of military power. Chinese corporations dominate the Indian market and the country, like many others across the world, has a big trade deficit with regard to China. Chinese investment and infrastructure projects (like One Belt One Road) in Africa and Asia have sent the alarm bells ringing for the Indian intelligentsia. Many believe that they represent a Chinese attempt to squeeze India out of its own backyard – South Asia. This suspicion is a product of several factors – India's unresolved border dispute with China; China's proximity to India's traditional enemy, Pakistan; American and British influence on the Indian elite's worldview (due to the presence of a large number of Indians in those countries and India's continued membership of the British Commonwealth).
The one sphere where several Indians believe themselves to be better off than the Chinese is soft power. Many produce approving quotes about Indian democracy from Westerners and disapprove of the Chinese Communist Party's strong arm tactics in dealing with smaller nations, ethnic minorities and the political opposition. Others think that Bollywood (a moniker used for India's Hindi film industry), Indian spirituality (symbolized by Buddhism and Yoga), and South Asian cuisine (a fluid category bringing together diverse culinary traditions) give them an edge over their northern neighbor. That could be contested given the immense popularity of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tai Chi and Sichuan cooking across the globe. However, the People's Republic might be stealing a march over India in soft power projection through an unlikely figure, the ancient sage Confucius (551-479 BCE), associated with the earliest phase of Chinese civilization. Once upon a time the Chinese Communist Party was highly critical of his teachings but the current leadership has adopted him as the face of China.
Hanban or the Office of Chinese Language Council International, a non-profit associated with the Chinese government, has set up more than four hundred Confucius Institutes across the world to promote Chinese language and culture. No initiative by the Indian government comes close to matching this program. Though portrayed as an attempt at propaganda, the setting up of these institutes reflects China's growing stature. There is great interest in the country, and in Chinese society. Europeans, Africans and Asians are eager to be a part of the Chinese growth story, and many are learning Mandarin. India is no exception. Despite the objections of India's right-wing nationalists (who perceive Communism as an existential threat) and Anglophone elite (who echo American perceptions of China's rise), a number of Chinese language courses have been started (in Delhi, Mumbai and Vellore). Given below is an excerpt from an article in 'The Hindu' newspaper about the setting up of a Confucius School in the city of Kolkata (capital of the state of West Bengal), dated November 29, 2017:
India's first Confucius Classroom, a centre for teaching Chinese language and culture, was inaugurated by the Consul General of China in Kolkata Ma Zhanwu on Tuesday. The centre is a joint venture between the Yunan Normal University of China and a Kolkata-based private institute that has been receiving support from the Consulate General of China in terms of student exchange programmes with Chinese schools and universities.
"We have worked closely with the School of Chinese Language, a private institution. We encourage them to take care of the Chinese language courses and the Chinese language tests here in this part of India," the Consul General of China in Kolkata Mr. Ma said. Besides language teaching, training in dance and martial arts will also be offered.
Mr. Ma said that the Confucius Classroom will help job seekers find lucrative opportunities. "Those who have studied Chinese will be able to find better paying jobs and those who want to engage in business with China and visit the country will want to grasp the language," said Mr. Ma. Beijing is pushing Confucius institutes across the world to promote cultural diplomacy.

Ellie is growing right along. I have had a busy week this week getting ready for her first trip and her baby blessing on Sunday. I can't believe it is almost here! Right now, she is getting really good at holding her head up when you hold her and loves "sitting up" against our legs and looking around. She still loves starting at us when she is awake and alert (I guess we are keepers!). Her sleeping schedule seems to be changing daily. She was sleeping really good at night or 3-4 hour stretches and napping good during the day. Now it is harder for her to sleep during the day...and she doesn't really want to go to sleep at night. It is so hard to judge where she is on her sleeping development because she is technically 3 months, where sleep gets more organized, but only 4 weeks past her due date, where sleep is all over the place. So, it feels a lot like a guessing game.
She is still eating really well, and subsequently also becoming a very good spitter. She is getting bigger and she is being able to wear more and more of the clothes that she has been too small for up until now. One of my favorites are the snap shirts that work so well with a bib over them. They are perfect for lounging around the house and so easy to change out of she gets them dirty! It is so rare now that she ends up wearing the outfit I put her in when she wakes up by the time bath time comes around at night.
Such a sweet girl!

TUESDAY 20TH JUNE 2017: CHI&Partners has partnered with The&Partnership's experiential agency muster, content creation studio MPC Creative and global karaoke supplier Sunfly to create an interactive experiential event at Glastonbury for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) – aiming to engage a new, younger audience of festival-goers.
To mark RNIB's year as the official health charity partner for Glastonbury Festival, the 'Karaoke Eye Test' aims to remind the 200,000 festival-goers of the importance of getting regular eye tests by showing them what it could be like to experience poor vision and sight loss – all through the medium of karaoke.
The RNIB Karaoke Eye Test tent, situated directly next to the Pyramid Stage, will put the vision of Glastonbury-goers to the test by giving them the chance to perform their favourite karaoke songs – but with the lyrics on-screen decreasing in size line by line, as if it were a traditional eye test.
The Karaoke Eye Test will also expose festival audiences to the experience of sight loss by applying filters to the screen, simulating the effects of eye conditions which can be prevented through early detection, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
At the end of each performance, karaoke singers and their friends will be given eye health tips, and encouraged to have their eyes tested when they return from the festival and every two years thereafter.
Nearly half of all cases of sight loss in the UK are preventable[1], but according to research conducted by YouGov for RNIB, one in four adults in the UK have not had their eyes tested in the last two years or at all[2].
Sally Harvey, RNIB Chief Executive, said: "Glastonbury is such an iconic festival, and we're excited to be part of the line-up for 2017. Thousands of music lovers will be descending on Worthy Farm this week, and we hope lots of them will come and see us to find out how to look after their eyes.
"The RNIB Karaoke Eye Test is a brilliantly fun, interactive idea to turn heads and draw crowds at Glastonbury, all while tapping into the sights, sounds and general ethos of the festival. It's a fantastic and memorable way of getting a whole new audience of Glastonbury-goers on board with our mission of improving the eye health of the nation, and reminding them of the importance of having regular eye tests."
Yan Elliott, Joint Executive Creative Director at CHI&Partners, said: "We're really proud of our Karaoke Eye Test. Working with muster, MPC Creative and Sunfly, we've brought together a great idea. It's a fantastic experience involving clever tech, all wrapped up in the fun of karaoke. What people don't realise is that nearly half of sight loss can be prevented – we hope this idea will help encourage people to have a regular eye test. Every two years I am reliably informed!"
Michael Eavis, founder of Glastonbury Festival, said: "As I've got older, I've become more and more aware of the importance of looking after my eyes, and I don't want to miss a trick! In light of this, I'm delighted that we're working with RNIB this year, and hope that lots of festival-goers will stop by the charity's stall near the Pyramid Stage to find out more about how they can protect their sight."
The Karaoke Eye Test simulation works through a bespoke app created by MPC Creative, with a database of over 100 karaoke songs and respective lyrics. MPC Creative also created a separate iPad app which will allow staff to record and capture festival-goers' performances and upload them straight to RNIB's Facebook page.

I really like watching the olympics, both winter and summer.
My favorite events in the Winter Olympics are the slalom skiing and the snowboarding events and hockey. The USA-Canada match yesterday was great; I have to say though that I would still like to see Canada get the gold on their home soil this year.
I found this article on wired.com, about some of the events which were held in the past in the olympics, but have since been discontinued:
The 1900 summer games included a swimming obstacle race with things like fences and boats for the competitors to navigate. Sadly, this event was never seen again at the Olympics, along with equestrian long jump and two-day cricket. It would be too awesome to watch Michael Phelps climbing out of the water to jump off a platform and then dive under a string of floating barrels.
That would be awesome! I would watch a swimming obstacle race or a horse long jump any day instead of ice dancing /*barf*
Another highlight was the first Olympic medal won by a person of African descent when Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera won a silver in the tug of war.
Tug of war? That is awesome. That is a sport that truly divides the men from the boys - even though it is usually played during recess...
The 1924 Olympics saw the first use of a 50-meter-long pool with marked lanes for races. In gymnastics, 23 men were awarded a perfect 10 in the rope-climbing event, which has since been discontinued.
Rope climb! It is like 8th grade gym class on a world-class competitive level! That is awesome. And all those guys got a perfect 10 - wow, we just don't have athletes these days like we used to!
I wouldn't mind seeing some of these events come back. They seem a lot more interesting than synchronized swimming or curling. Here's to the Olympics returning to their roots!

Television is likely to remain the top live viewing channel in the US for the upcoming Summer Olympics. According to May 2016 research, the majority of US sports fans said they plan to be glued to the Rio Games via TV this August. But marketers shouldn't count out other screens when it comes to simultaneous activities.SHARE9213103In late May 2016, Rubicon Project and Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates polled 1,105 US internet users who identified themselves as sports fans and followers of the Olympics.The vast majority (84%) said they will watch the event live on television. Interestingly, when it came to other digital screens for live viewing, desktop (44%) and mobile (36%) came up short. Respondents preferred to just check the web for results and scores.But viewers will probably be conducting second-screen activities while watching the Games, too. According to the research, 51% of respondents said they browse the internet on a second screen while watching sports in general, followed closely by email at 47%. Meanwhile, at least a third participated in other second-screen activities, like using social media, checking the news and texting with friends or family. Two in five even said they looked at sports scores while watching sports on TV.Across the pond, UK internet users also plan on partaking in second-screen activities throughout the Games. In a separate study from RadiumOne, more than half (59%) of respondents said they plan to use a smartphone simultaneously, with tablet closely behind.

Michael Surrell – Allentown, PA
Michael Surrell and his wife arrived home on West Liberty Street on a May afternoon to find smoke pouring from their neighbor's house. People outside were yelling that a child was trapped on the second floor. Without hesitating, 64-year-old Surrell headed up the stairs, where he was met with intense heat and thick, choking smoke. Despite having a lung disease that made breathing difficult, he searched until he found the girl, scooping her up and carrying her down the stairs and out of the house. She was not breathing, so he began resuscitation efforts until she coughed and came to life. He is credited with saving the 8-year-old's life.

NC-17, angst, dark, slash
Moves at your will
Pushes you down onto the mattress and you moan as a mere reflex when your back hits his white, white sheets and a slight rush of pain speeds through you so wonderfully evidently in your spine, your body and breath begging so beautifully for his touch, for him to fuck you like it's all anyone could ever ask for in this life and you grasp the sheets in your little palms as he goes down on his knees between your brilliantly spread legs and bites your bottom lip before you get the chance to meet his searing gaze. Moan into his mouth, moan for all it's worth, any sound is good and no touch unwanted as he makes you so much better with his bare hands, the genious of his skin on yours like that when his body rubs against you, mingling your sweat with his already and you feel like such a girl when he sucks your nipple and draws his finger between your cheeks and you catch yourself flinching into the air above your tilted back head and closed eyes. Draw your hands through his hair over and over again, nails cutting into his scalp, feeling the pulse in his skull beat against your fingertips as you can't get enough of him but what else is new? Frustratedly whimper when he moves his thumb over the head of your hard cock before letting you taste your own precum as you suck his finger dry, you know he'll never actually put it in his mouth, that bastard, but it doesn't really matter when he touches you like that, when his tongue and lips and hands all become so vivid all over you it's insane, making something throb somewhere inside, everywhere inside when he draws that wet thumb around you with the other four fingers of his and kisses you like he's trying to break your pretty little mouth. Hear yourself pleading for him again, hear yourself drop another few levels down the scale of the pure and utter opposite of self-respect with those begs, you're such a filthy whore but you don't care because it's working, he wants you, he wants you so badly, doesn't he, maybe almost as much as you want him right back with his swollen, wet lips and his teeth marks all over your skin and his hands are the greatest things ever created by anyone and anything ever, you swear to God, they really are.
He tells you he wants you so then it must be true, maybe not with the tone of his voice but with his whole, sheer body screaming out for yours, you get lost in his breaths, in his neverending warmth, in his cheekbones and his pants and those little beads of sweat you lick right off his temple without caring about anything but tasting him so closely everything about him is one high better than the other and you lose track of all the times you've begged him to fuck you by now and it's not a second too soon or maybe it is when he stops you in the middle of sucking your lips off around his aching cock and tells you to roll the fuck over right as you think you might just implode you're so full of him.
Roughly turning you over on your stomach, quickly biting your neck before drawing his hands towards much more pleasant locations as you moan ever so softly through his untainted hotel sheets and you practically feel his heavy breath in the air when he growls what a dirty whore you are and you have no choice but agreeing with him. Feel his big, strong hands press hard against your slender hips, making a vibration sprawl through and ache in your bones as you get up on all fours and feel his chest so sheerly warm against your back when he leans over and forces you to turn your head and kiss him harshly again. His teeth strain against yours and he trembles so beautifully over you as your knees almost cave under his body weight and your breath barely makes it through another sharp whimper of the immortal words "fuck me" right into his warm, wet mouth and he's the most brilliant thing you've ever felt in your life in that moment he grins against your lips and you notice his fingers carelessly laced with yours upon that hard mattress and you're so intoxicated the love you suddenly feel rush towards that God damn hotel overpowers everything you've ever felt in your entire lifetime. That you care to remember, anyway.
He's so big and hard and warm and his breaths make scars on the back of your neck as he moves without restraint inside of you and you can sense everything within the room each time you inhale only to feel every trace of air punch right out of your gut when he makes you exhale so harshly it hurts but you don't care. It's like he controls your breath with his every move, his slightest touch, each thrust seems to go so much further inside and you don't know how you don't fall down sooner than you eventually do once the pain becomes too much to bear even for a filthy little something like yourself and you can't take it anymore of his sweaty hands and his cock up your ass and those moans above you traling higher and higher 'til your muscles clench all around him and you can't help yourself anymore. He comes right when your voice breaks in the middle of his name, your birthplace, you don't care what the fuck you exclaim but it's something and you don't think the neighbours appreciate it in quite the same way he does but it doesn't matter when he sounds so godforsakingly pretty coming with his fingers clutching your hips and the sweat of his skin still lingering somewhere in the saliva of your swollen lips when you hear him pierce through the air like that with his trembling, sharp voice and it's so final everything after that seems so quiet it turns to mere whispers in comparasion with him.
He falls, feels like it anyway, falls right over you and you have nothing to do but cave. Just so big where he lies all over you, heavy and warm and making your pulse beat faster, louder, more somewhere inside as you feel everything through numbness while your orgasm silently aches out with his fantastic breaths making the sweatbeads dazzle up against your smooth skin. He crushes you. He crushes you but you don't care, he can do whatever he wants with you as long as it has something to do with being so near him you practically choke on his breath, on his scent, whatever he offers you right then and there is good with you, everything with you.
You don't do anything after he's rolled off and you think it may very well be the greatest time of your life until it happens again and that's it and this is not anymore.
He looks so pretty when he sleeps after fucking your brains out like that. He really, really does, doesn't he?

Nothing catches human interest like human tragedy
I've read about Jordan Rice, a thirteen year old Australian boy who saved his brother from a flood, in one too many websites. Jordan and his mom were swept away by the floods because Jordan requested his rescuer to save his brother, Blake, first. In an interview, Jordan's dad told the Toowoomba Chronicle that Jordan couldn't swim and in fact, he was terrified of water.
It was such a brave thing to do -- a little boy who just entered his teens putting his brother's life before his. I couldn't imagine what that must be like; having to give up your whole self for someone who means the world to you. Imagine, he has his whole life ahead of him, waiting for him to live everyday as if it were his last. Life waiting to unfold before his very eyes. But he couldn't do that anymore, because he wanted his brother to live.
When I think about it, it's not that hard, really. Everyday, we put ourselves out there, battling our way through life and whatever it throws at us. Those of us with lovers give their partners their whole self without second thought. What is it to give up your everything for someone who means so much more than the world to us? If we live, and that special person dies, would your life be worth living? I for one, would rather die knowing that my loved one is going to be safe and sound.
If it would have happened to me, I wouldn't have a second thought about giving my life up for my brother. Even though we only see each other every weekend as I now live with my papa, I love him no less. He's the primary reason why I come home to the south to visit. I cannot even begin to tell you how much joy he brings me or how much love I have for him. He's already eight years old and embarrassed to be kissed in public. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like when he enters his teenage years. I'm too scared to even think about it... He grew up too quickly. I'd give up anything and everything for him -- even if my life depended on it. I guess that's how you know if you really love the person -- you start caring about them more and caring about yourself less. Being selfless isn't so bad when you know that it's worth it :-)

G.D. Vajra Take On Vineyard Jewel
Luigi Baudana's family have been growing grapes and making wine in the Barolo region Serralunga d'Alba for many generations, so many that he can't recall. Obviously a long time, though, because the town he and his wife Fiorina still live in is named Baudana, as is one of its most famous vineyard sites, which he owned.
Having no children or heirs, Baudana recently sold his vineyards to the Vajra family, fellow Barolo winemakers who must be among the nicest and friendliest people in all of Italy. They have breathed new life into Luigi Baudana's vineyards (pictured) and wines.
The Vajras, who make great Barolo (and other wines, notably a superb freisa named Kyè) on the opposite side of the region from Serralunga d'Alba, became the owners of Baudana's two vineyards in January 2009 and have released splendid wines from that vintage. The vineyard 'crus' are Cerretta and Baudana. From my limited tastings, Cerretta is the finer, more elegant wine and Baudana is the more explosively powerful. They are equally great but different.
The Vajras are famous for their Barolo Bricco delle Viole. Several Australian winemakers including Stephen Pannell – who makes a pretty decent nebbiolo himself in the Adelaide Hills – have worked the vintage at the family winery, G.D. Vajra (tastings). Following in the footsteps of his highly respected father Aldo, eldest son Giuseppe is winemaker today. His sister Francesca and brother Isidoro also work in the business.
The picture (above) shows Giuseppe and Francesca with Luigi Baudana in the 'winery', which is something of an exaggeration. It is an oversized broom cupboard with a few oak fermenters and steel tanks – made tall and skinny so they fit in. Giuseppe was only half-joking when he said that when he arrived, bottling was done by gravity and there was one pump, one press, and three electric lights.
Giuseppe is gradually decreasing the influence of oak in the wines, but hastens to add that he feels very privileged that G.D. Vajra was chosen to take on this rare jewel of a property. "We feel very humbled by the trust that Luigi and Fiorina have placed in us," he said.
(G.D. Vajra wines are imported by Enoteca Sileno.)

₦145 to a large number of people in Nigeria is small money. In fact, it is a chicken change that anyone should be able to 'dash' out without flinching. But, although you are a well-paid and comfortable (some may even say rich) human being, you do not consider the amount insignificant at all. It's not like you are penny-pinching or cheap… you drive a car that gulps fuel like there is no tomorrow, and with N145 you can have 1 litre extra of petrol (fuel). In fact, there have actually been times you fought with the fuel attendant at the station over your tank missing a few drops of fuels worth less than a litre's price.
To be honest, it is not easy to own a car in Nigeria. Cost of acquiring one and maintenance expenses aside, the cost of fueling your vehicle alone can be draining. Even worse, you can't complain about it too much either, so that people do not make such comments as: "You can even afford a car and you are complaining" or "If you knew you could not handle the cost of managing the car, why buy it in the first place?"
The thing is that your fuel problem may not always be as a result of car's factory setting, or the way the particular model is built. Sometimes you are having to spend so much on fuel as a result of personal practices, such as the way you drive and how well or often you maintain the car. Believe it or not, these things impact on the amount of fuel you use and eventually how much you spend.
Here are some tips that you can apply to help you save money on fuel and free up cash for other things.
The first advice a seasoned Nigerian driver will give you when it comes to saving fuel is: use air conditioning sparingly. But…what if you are an Uber driver or you work with Taxify and you are bound to keep the AC running. Also, what if the weather is such that the AC is a necessity. Sure, there is a truth to the fact that air conditioners can actually use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating, but people don't stop to also consider that at speeds of over 80 km/h, use of air conditioning becomes an advantage, and is better for fuel consumption than an open window.. as this creates aerodynamic drag.
Airconditioning matter aside, if you are ready to save fuel on your car, first ask yourself: how often do I plan my trip or "waka"? Believe it or not, a bulk of fuel wasted because you haven't clearly mapped out your movement – having idle moments and spending too much time on the road. As a driver, you must stay alert. If you are not in motion, perhaps you are waiting for someone or in traffic, turn off your engine, once it is over 30 seconds and wait until you are ready to go.
Most cars these days do not need to be "warmed up" by idling before setting off. By switching off the engine, even for a short period, you will save more fuel than is lost from the burst of fuel involved in restarting the engine. Again, plan your maneuvers ahead of time. Always pay attention to the road in front of you, anticipate the movements other drivers while keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you and avoid traffic when you can.
Avoiding traffic actually is not a tedious as most assume. Once you can avoid rush hours, you pay attention or predict the traffic periods in your area and avoid them, you basically are good. A quick check of traffic news on the radio or google map traffic on your smart phone also might alert you to an accident on the road or traffic jam. Also, leaving 1-2 hours earlier or later can make a huge difference.
For those who run so many errands in a day, you want to try and combine all your errands into one outing rather than making several short trips. If you only have to make short trips, however, you can consider walking or using public transport. Trips of less than five kilometers generally do not allow the engine to reach its peak operating temperature and that is not flattering to fuel economy.
When making trips, remember to lighten the load in your car. Leave heavy items at home when you don't need them on a trip because the more weight a vehicle carries, the more fuel it uses. You may not know this, but actually, for every 45kg you store in your car, you are lowering the mileage you get per tank by 1-2 per cent. That entire unnecessary load in your booth actually costs you gas money.
Another thing you may want to note is that fuel consumption actually increases significantly over about 90 km/h. At about 120 km/h for instance, your car is probably using about 20 per cent more fuel than it would cruise at 90 km/h. This clearly means that speeding can essentially lead to a higher consumption of fuel. If you must speed though, try and maintain a steady speed. Frequently varying your speed of intermittently slamming on the brakes will even make fuel consumption higher. Slow down and use cruise control on highways to maintain a steadier speed, which will save fuel. And when it comes to putting the "pedal to the metal", the harder you accelerate, the more fuel is wasted. You should try and take about five seconds to accelerate your vehicle up to 24km per hour from a stop.
Finally, keep your car properly maintained and try your best to follow your vehicle's maintenance schedule. Do not be penny wise, pound foolish. A poorly maintained car costs more money, and not only fuel money. You want to avoid all these expenses before they happen. Inflate your vehicle's tires to the recommended pressure and make sure your wheels are properly aligned. Keeping your tires properly inflated will improve handling, and ensure your car operates at its best and most fuel efficient level.
Do you agree with these suggestions and can you think of other helpful tips for drivers looking to save money on fuel?

What You Should Know About Your Hair's Porosity
Heads of hair are like snowflakes, none of them are alike. Some people may even find that within their own head there are different textures of hair.
For instance, In the front of my head I have curls that are looser that in the back. I even have an identical twin sister who's hair is different from mine.
Hair is affected by many things and this article may help us understand those variables.
Porosity the Peep Hole to Your Hair's Soul
Have you ever wondered why your hair frizzes so much? Have you ever wonder why it takes your hair so long to dry?
Porosity may be the answer!
Learning about our hair's porosity level can help us understand what products and what styles are ideal.
Our hair has soul and we need to feed it! Learning about porosity will help you do just that!
What is Porosity?
It is the amount of holes or cracks within an object. For hair it is the amount of water your hair accepts and releases based on how the cuticle lies.
The cuticle is what protects the hair shaft and determines porosity.
Hair can have high porosity, low porosity and even medium porosity. This is all determined by genetic and how you care for your hair.
Also note that your hair's porosity can not be changed from high to low but it can go from low to high from damage.
High Porosity
When hair is highly porous, that means it is freely open. The cuticles on each hair strand remain open, allowing water to enter and exit freely.
This hair type is hard to keep moisturized because of it's ability to lose moisture. At the same time it is easy to get water into each strand; it's just a matter of keeping it there.
Frizz happens easily and if you have curly hair, it is hard to keep straight due to it's nature of willingly accepting moisture.
Having this type of hair isn't always favorable for this reason.
My hair is very porous and I have a difficult time styling. What works for me are wash n go's, flexi rod, and curl formers.
When I set my hair while wet and allow it to dry completely, I usually have no problems. When I want a change from my wash n go, curl formers and rollers are my best friend.
It is very difficult for me to keep stretched styles, and straight styles. I also stay away from braid outs.
These are just my personal preferences and not every person with extremely porous hair have the same issues.
Also with this type of hair you can get away with heavy products. They will be absorbed easily filling in the open holes and spaces.
If your hair is very porous, here are a few things you can do:
- Rinse your hair with cold water to try and seal the cuticles.
- Use a pH balancing conditioner to try and seal the cuticles.
- Use anti-humectants to prevent moisture absorption from the environment.
- Use a medley of products to layer on your hair to prevent moisture loss such as, leave in conditioners, leave in sprays, and oils.
Highly Porous or Highly Damaged?
Sometimes high porosity is caused by heat styling, hair dying, chemical use, high manipulation and even the environment.
If you notice you have hair that is highly porous, examine why this maybe. Sometimes it is just genetic and there's no way around it.
Other times it's because of the way the hair is manipulated and styled.
If this is the case, your hair may not really be highly porous and you can fix the damage. To do this, just simply stop what is cause the damage. Too much heat? Try letting your hair grow out naturally and use setting techniques that don't require heat.
Too many chemical? Try the same solution that I gave for too much heat styling.
Low Porosity
When hair has low porosity, it's cuticles lay flat. That means it is difficult for it to accept moisture but once that moisture is in the hair strand, it is there to stay. It's also pretty shiny.
This is pretty cool because this hair type keeps it's moisture.
The big question is, how can this type of hair actually receive moisture if the cuticles are closed?
Cuticles are easily opened with heat. I would recommend doing a heated deep condition before and after washing.
Doing this before washing will allow the cuticle to open safely so that dirt and old products can be removed and water can enter each shaft. Doing the heat treatment after washing will allow the conditioner to be absorbed into the hair.
Once this is done, rinse the hair with cool water to reseal the cuticle and then style normally.
Things to consider with this hair type:
- Products build up easily.
- Too much protein can cause a brittle and stiff feeling.
- Heavy products will sit on top of the hair and won't be absorbed.
- Humectants are great to help attract moisture.
Medium Porosity
This hair type enjoys the best of both worlds. It's cuticles are just right, allowing and releasing just the right amount of moisture. With this hair type, there aren't many worries in the area of styling either.
If this hair type is curly, it normally appears shiny and soft. It also straightens pretty easily.
You can use almost any type of product with this hair, although you may want to limit the amount of protein.
Frizz is also not a big issue.
Because styling for this hair texture is almost effortless, it is important to be gentle to prevent increasing it's porosity.

Porosity and How it Affects My Hair
Hair isn't just hair and it doesn't do whatever it wants. It reacts to the environment it's placed in! I used to get so frustrated with my hair, wondering why I couldn't achieve the style I did just a few days ago.
I thought my hair just did what it wanted but after learning about porosity, I understand why somethings happen.
Sometimes my styling products are just right to seal in the extra gaps and keep moisture in. Other times it isn't so my style doesn't come out the same.
I love wash n go's because my hair stays soft, shiny and moisturized. Because I have high porosity hair, I use a very heavy conditioner right when my hair is still soaked.
My new favorite conditioner is the Cantu Leave In Conditioner.
It provides hold better than gel and it doesn't flake or make my hair crunchy.
If I could have things my way, I would want low porosity hair. I just love the idea of unlimited shine and moisture.
Of course, this is not possible and I am learning want works for my extremely curly, highly porous hair!
It's actually not that bad once I took the time to understand what to do.
It's Time to Weigh in...
How Porous is Your Hair?
How to Determine Your Hair's Porosity
The Water Test
The water test is simply taking a strand of hair and submerging it in a bowl of water.
If the hair:
- Sinks to the bottom - It's High Porosity
- Floats in the Middle - It's Medium Porosity
- Floats right on the surface - It's Low Porosity
This is such a cool and easy technique. Right way you can see what your hair does and immediately start taking care of your hair's needs.
Also if you just pay attention to the way you hair looks and how it responds to products and styling, you'll be able to see how porous your hair is.
The water test is more fun though!

It is a shameful thing to say that this is my first Murakami read! Of all the many books I have read and all the authors that I have trusted my imaginations with, not trying out one Murakami novel/short story is a very disgraceful thing (atleast that is what my bibliophile self convinced me to believe).
I wanted to read "Kafka On The Shore" for some reason as an introduction to the author. What happened is that my sister (the elder one) wanted to gift me my first Murakami, and she is doing her college away from home and hence she planned a surprise for me on my birthday. Needless to say, she was furious when she found out that my mother's friend had gifted me my first Murakami. And she's one person who does not like to come second.
Cut to, the day before my birthday. What came to me through the hands of my uncle was a wonderful package with a classic bow on top and a beautiful card.
What my sister did not know was, I had not started reading the book given to me my my mother's friend, a lied to her just to give a little extra anxiety.
Also, she said she's going to give me a Murkami nevertheless, so she gifted me this beautiful collection of short stories called "DESIRE" along with a few more books and chocolates and all things pretty ad nice, and it is the most beautiful book I have ever seen (the cover is a matte red colour that I have been digging!!).
I was the happiest person on earth!
"DESIRE" was my first Murakami read.
I loved the stories more than anything. They were all so meaningful and more to me somehow, given the things in life I am going through at the moment, also I do have a favourite, whinch is most probably going to be featured in another blog post really soon!
As I am writing this blog, I have finished both the books and I have almost convinced myself that Haruki Murakami is the only author I will ever read.
Also, you're probably wondering by this point if I have the best cousins ever, and the answer to that would be yes, I do!
Check out my sister's blog HERE (she writes some great stuff, youre going to love it!)

Rage!/Rave! - Mika
- Doug Johnstone and Sandra Marron
- 14 February 2007
To believe or not to believe the hype
Doug Johnstone: Mika is not the next big thing. He is merely the latest creation of the music industry's marketing machine.
At some point in Chris Morris' sublime Brass Eye, the comedian sanctimoniously declared, 'Find out what to think after this break'. I'm reminded of this line every year when the full weight of the music industry gets together to tell me exactly what music I'm going to find wonderful over the next 12 months.
Music pundits have always liked to predict the winners and losers for the forthcoming year. But recently something much more sinister has emerged. The lines have blurred between pundits, journalists and DJs and the music industry and its mighty marketing machine. The 'predictions' of what's going to be huge are nothing more than a fait accompli, a self-fulfilling prophecy with no connection to an exciting underground act actually breaking out of nowhere to stardom. Even worse, sheep-like pundits tow the line for fear of not looking zeitgeisty enough.
This year's musical muppet heading for the big time is, of course, Mika. With the colossal promotional muscle of Universal behind him, how could 'Grace Kelly' fail to go straight in at number one? No doubt the album will sell millions, and he'll be duetting with Elton John and fronting Queen for charity before the year's out.
The single is passable glam pop with a Freddie Mercury clone at the helm, hardly worth the extraordinary hype. I'm sure he's a nice bloke. But it's all just so underwhelming, and I can't help getting annoyed at how I'm supposed to swallow (from the music industry, via the media) that this is some massive new extraordinary pop talent.
It's the emperor's new clothes, repeated year after year. Corinne Bailey Rae - yes, very exciting. Keane and Razorlight - fantastic. Joss Stone and the Scissor Sisters - who could've predicted something so bland would sell loads? Oh, wait, me.
In this age of alleged internet-fuelled musical democracy, it seems it's really just business as usual for the music industry and the predictable pop pap they continue to foist on us.
Sandra Marron: The hype and hysteria surrounding Mika is joyfully justified. His music is catchy, fun and witty.
Last month, the BBC published the results of its Sound of 2007 survey. One hundred and thirty of the UK's most influential music pundits had been asked to name their favourite new acts. Those questioned included Glastonbury Organiser Emily Eavis, Alison Howe, the producer of Later with Jools Holland, and a number of Mercury Music prize judges. Top of the pile and number one was Mika. Why? Well, probably the same reason that he reached number one with Grace Kelly: because he clearly has talent and no amount of labelling, marketing or hyping can take that away from him. His melodies are preposterously catchy, his lyrics fun and witty. The 'next big thing' label is bound to stick to someone like Mika and what of it? The guy is a talented singer/songwriter who has worked hard and is now reaping the rewards.
Granted, sometimes it takes an influential person in the media to proclaim an artist's greatness before other people take note, but surely recommendations are one of the main ways people find out about new talent. Somebody has to start the ball rolling. Like going to the theatre or the cinema, most people try something as a result of someone else's endorsement, a review perhaps or the buzz surrounding it. And give people credit, they can make up their own minds. Nobody is holding a gun to the public's head and telling them to buy Mika's single because he is 'the next big thing'. As for Mika himself, from what I've read he is pretty much like any 23-year-old who finds himself the toast of the town - excited, honoured, yeah, a bit conceited but he can afford to be.
Mika's debut album Life in Cartoon Motion is out now on Island. Mika plays ABC, Glasgow, 20 Feb.

Are you bringing enough TP for everyone ? ? ? ? Look forward to seeing you guys again.
Last year, some of us tried to get into Winterhaven for the Festival of Lights. Due to the incredible popularity of this event, we couldn't even get in line for entrance. I'm thinking of making a reservation to take the tram through the neighborhood this year and thought that I'd check to see if anyone else might want to join us. If so, I'd like to know asap as space is reserved well in advance. Also, money must accompany any reservation, so please be certain that you will be attending.

Chocolate Strawberry Shots: Mother´s Day Gift! | Desserts for the Weekend
Hi friends and happy weekend! I am one of those people that can never have enough strawberries with chocolate and here I found the cutest idea ever. It´s a twist to all-time favorite chocolate covered strawberries. They look adorable and I think they are the perfect treat for a special occasion, or any time really. However, since Mother´s Day is just around the corner I believe these would make the perfect gift!
Just place then inside of a pretty box, with a pretty bow and a "Happy Day, Mom" note, and you are good to go.
I don´t know if the original idea was made this was, but this is how it was easier for me, Happy Mom´s Day to your Mom from me, of if you are a Mom yourself, Happy Day!

The speaker of the Indiana House urged new Gov. Eric Holcomb on Thursday to make a strong push for a tax hike to pay for much-needed road and bridge repairs, a politically tricky sell in a conservative state that has long resisted higher taxes.
Speaker Brian Bosma said it was "important" for his fellow Republican to vocalize his support and convince voters that it is important for the Legislature to raise revenue through increased gas taxes or vehicle fees.
Holcomb has made a 20-year infrastructure plan one of his top priorities for the upcoming session and will elaborate on his concerns during his first State of the State address next week, spokeswoman Stephanie Wilson said in an email to The Associated Press. As for paying for it, Holcomb is "keeping all options on the table," she said. He previously said that he is open to raising the gas tax, though he hasn't indicated how much of a hike he would support. GOP leaders in the Senate have not said what would be palatable to them.
Despite a lack of consensus on how to go about raising the money, there's widespread agreement on the need to quickly improve infrastructure. Indiana has received mixed ratings for its roads and bridges, and consultants say the state hasn't spent enough on road maintenance or improvements.
If Holcomb actively campaigns for a tax hike, it could go a long way in selling the idea to voters, who have reliably voted for Republicans in recent years, creating GOP supermajorities in both chambers. The state GOP has proudly cut taxes over the last decade and a reversal of that trend is unusual for a party that has long been associated with an anti-tax philosophy.
"The governor will continue to work with legislative leaders as the session progresses to achieve a plan that maintains what we have, finishes projects we've started and invests in new projects for the future," Wilson said.
Bosma acknowledged Thursday the difficulty of asking conservative elected officials to raise taxes, but added he's confident the House Republican bill contains the "best, fairest and most conservative means of funding infrastructure."
"I'm very comfortable with it. I know it's the right thing to do for investing in our state's economy," he said.
The House plan would increase the cost of fuel at the pump by 10 cents a gallon, while requiring vehicle owners to pay an additional $15 a year registration fee. It would also make it easier for local governments to raise money for infrastructure by allowing more small towns to impose local vehicle registration taxes.
Senate Republicans have agreed that new revenue and road improvements are needed, but haven't offered much more at this point.
In a news conference about the caucus' legislative priorities, Republican Senate President David Long said he expected a final road-funding solution to be made up of a "mix" of revenues, declining to predict the exact composition of taxes and fees a Senate-backed bill might include.
"Something should pass, something really needs to pass," the Fort Wayne lawmaker said. "We cannot kick this can down the road."
The proposed tax increase comes as Republicans in both chambers have preached the importance of fiscal restraint when crafting the state's two-year budget, particularly as the state brought in about $300 million less than expected this year.
Democrats, meanwhile, note the state is sitting on about $2 billion in reserves. Some have questioned whether tax hikes are the best avenue for raising revenues and challenge what some call a regressive tax on gasoline, in a state that has consistently cut or capped corporate taxes.
The GOP-led Legislature passed an income tax cut and also backed plans to eliminate taxes on inheritances over $100,000, cut corporate tax rates and cut property taxes while increasing the sales tax in recent years—moves that some experts estimate eliminated about $650 million from the state's budget.
It's estimated the House Republican road proposal would raise about $300 million in its first year and about $480 million in 2019.

Daily Essentials Pure Skin Face Wash 15ml RRP £3.50
Daily Essentials Balancing Face Moisturiser 10ml RRP £6.00
Radiance Face Mask 15ml RRP £4.50
I've heard great things about Balance Me beauty products and they couldn't be more right! I sent for some mini products to find my feet with what I could order more of in the future,now, I want it all.
Firstly, the pure skin face wash ; Initially, I was pleased to see that the product contained no petroleum or sulphate which can irritate the skin. This face wash is the most innocent of them all out there! It contains grapefruit extract, frankincense oils, an anti oxidant named moringa, rice bran oils and spruce knot to create an even complexion with a polished look. I noticed the floral smell instantly with a hint of medical aromas. I also noticed that a little on your finger tip goes along way when mixed with tepid water. Circulate your finger tips on your cheeks, nose trip, forehead and chin once applied to create a layer of face wash. To apply over eyes, I put a little bit on a warm cloth and run it over my eyelids to protect the delicate eye area. I loved this face wash as it was good value for money and it gets rid of daily grime and dirt that develops on the face.
Secondly, the Balancing face moisturise, I only really saw the effect after using my three products in a row, but it was a great effect. I applied over my face and décolletage and saw a noticeable change, especially to my cheeks, they felt softer, and appeared more balanced and calm. Sometimes, after doing a cleansing routine followed by a moisturising session, I have found my face stays red and patchy for a few hours. My least favourite out of the three, yet it was still a great buy for the price!
Lastly, my favourite of them all! The Balance me Radiance Skin Mask-AMAZING. This three in one skin mask exfoliates, cleanses and brightens the skin with it's natural ingredients. The mask contains ground walnut shells that exfoliate the dead skin cells and removes the layer of grime. It contains a fruit acid complex to restore your natural radiance too! I noticed the aroma was very similar to the other products and felt It was a little medical and needed a hint of zingy fruit to make applying more fun! Apply to the face using a circular motion to let the groundnuts to their work! Leave for five minutes and remove residue with a damp cloth. This was my favourite as my natural face oils had been replenished and my skin tone felt even and not irritated like most masks leave on my face!
Thank you BalanceMeBeauty, love your stuff,

First time poster here.
I need some help regarding TV3 reception on Freeview.
I bought a SONY TV with freeview tuner build in. I also bought a new UHF antenna. Specs for antenna are
43 Element UHF Antenna
Suitable for medium signal reception areas.
Elements - 43
Gain - 13dB
Channels - 21 to 69
Bands - 4 & 5
Frequency - 470 to 862MHz
Boom Width - 20mm sq
Overall Length - 1234mm
This should be sufficient for Freeview if I understand it correctly. I have a clear line of sight to the Wharite transmitter (Manawatu)
I get all the TVNZ channels but nothing else, including radio.
However, If I use my indoor antenna I get the other channels, Althought this differs depending on location of the indoor antenna.
What could be the issue? It seems TV3 is on channel 50 but when I scan while connected to aerial only stations on channel 48 are detected.
