-89 to -71 Improvement, Aug 31 2012

Just holding the antenna and pointing it towards the tower bumped the signal from the -89 that the internal antenna was reporting, to as low as -71.

However, when I went to mount it, I couldn't get a signal better than -89!

Now I'm back to using the internal antenna until I find a better mounting point.

I'm using an old satellite dish mount, and it has a good range of motion, but unfortunately, there is no change in the signal strength.

I'll keep trying, and post my results back here.

A fascinating look at why recipes work, Jan 7 2011

Got this book for my 19 year old foodie-daughter. She makes the most amazing dishes, but follows recipes to a tee - afraid to deviate. Now she understands why certain ingredients are required, and how cooking temperature affects the dish.

The perfect book to help less experienced cooks get more experimental.

A Compelling Read, Jan 7 2011

This could be Tin-Tin in an alternate universe. The edgy story draws you in, and makes the next book in the series mandatory.

Perfect for my teen-aged nephew -and his father.
