Do you think it's too much to expect to have success both career- and love life-wise?
I presume we all wish to be successful in different aspects of life: career and private life. Sometimes it even seems easier, simpler to succeed in your job - I have personal experience with science-related profession hence my examples: You study a lot, you get good grades, you apply for scholarships, you apply for grants, you work hard, you do your networking, you keep informed, feed your curiosity and creativity supplemented with real data and facts. Of course, lots of factors can not be influenced, but there are even less for love, right? What do you think about this? How should one approach the questions of relationships? Is it all left just to chance, just to "let it happen" random approach?
Oct 26 2011: Love and a successful career are both a need! i think everything is possible if you set your goals and work hard to get them, thats life, is not expecting too much, is achieving what humans should be achieving. You need a job to get food and all those necessary supplies, if you want a successful love life, life will teach you how to get it, learning is making mistakes along the way, the question is: are you willing to spend some of your time making those mistakes in order to find the requirements for a successful love life?
You are ready know the requirements for a successful career, study, practice, etc..
This one is one of my favorite quotes: "Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality."Ralph Marston quotes
This quote applies to many aspects of life :)
Oct 26 2011: I really liked your reply Jessica. However, there is this one sentence "if you want a successful love life. life will teach you how to get it" which basically seems to confirm the notion that there is that inherent aspect of randomness in love life. Judging from my own experience as well as by the comments so far in this conversation, it appears that it is safe to say that love life is intrinsically non-deterministic, it's stochastic! Somehow, that gives me some kind of anxiety, since any stochastic process is quite uncontrollable. It seems to me like "having successful private life" is too important to be left purely to chance. Perhaps we should think about ways to help people deal with these matters in more organized way...
Thomas Jones
Oct 25 2011: Acknowledging Frans' wise words that it is too much to expect anything, I do think if we develop effective communication skills, understand our partner cannot make us happy (although we can be happy with our partner) that, even though it is counter-productive, most people, including our partners, do have expectations, and that we can honour "reasonable" expectations, even if they have not been articulated, and ....
- +2
do the same in our carreers, while performing the necessary functions to achieve success (perseverance, competence, compassion, reliability, trustworthiness, etc.) ...
then, yes we can be successful in both.
Disclaimer: I define success as "I see it" ... for example if a couple are happy together, drift apart, and are happy separated, I see the union and the dissolution as a success. In a word, success can be defined as, "Happiness."Nov 7 2011: Without thinking, I instinctively wish to respond: "YES! It, OF COURSE, is possible!" But, that's just the optimist out of me reacting. The answer is not as simple. Risking to sound "philosophical', I have to point out that the answer to this question lies mostly in your perception of "being successful" in both domains of your life. If you are a thorough and conscious worker, perfectionist and prone to self-criticism, you'll have a much harder challenge in balancing the two aspects of your life. Try to keep in mind your priorities and "bigger picture" - some days it might be more important that you are a responsible professional, some days that you are a loving partner and some days that you are a caring child or a mother - your priorities will never be the same on everyday basis, so just be careful when prioritizing... Not sure if this really makes sense :-)

Oct 31 2011: Excerpt from an article on Yahoo!
- +1
Career women take note: if you want to continue to ascend the corporate ladder all the while maintaining a happy-ish household it may be wise to choose a partner with lesser ambition or a less demanding work schedule, or so suggests a study by a Cornell researcher ...
After analyzing census data from more than 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessional workers from dual-earner families in the U.S., sociology researcher, Youngjoo Cha discovered that there's a potentially negative association between how many hours a man works per week and its effect on the career choices of his female partner.
In the 2010 paper ""Reinforcing Separate Spheres: The Effect of Spousal Overwork on Men's and Women's Employment in Dual-Earner Households", Cha concludes that being married to a man who works 60 hours a week and more makes a woman more likely to quit her job. In fact, it increases her odds by 42 percent. (For women in professional positions, that risk goes up to 51 percent.)

Oct 31 2011: Thomas, thank you for this great, very scientific comment. It never hurts to have statistical data. Perhaps these data would imply that the answer to my question, at least statistically speaking is YES, it is too much to expect both comparably successful.
Jasmin Begic
Oct 31 2011: I am no scientist or relationship expert, but I believe that, if two people share the same passion and goal, are smart, there can only be romance between them. Its basic love math. Smart woman + Smart man = romance.
- +1
If a person in your life you love does not support your passion, your goals, dreams, your ideas, there is no point of even trying to succeed, because the minute you start surrounding yourself with negative pessimistic people who don't believe in success, you are on a road to failure, and make no mistake, you deserve to fail!
Jim Moonan
Oct 30 2011: Yes, not only possible to achieve success in both your carreer and relationship to anotherr, but also to sustain a relationship that cultivates your own personal growth.
- +1
David Whyte has written about thissubject in a book entitled, "The Three Marriages". Very worhtwhile read that explores the balance that needs to be achieved between the three.Oct 30 2011: Yes, totally possible. Actually, I would say that having a good love relationship could actually help you be a more successful professional. I'm not saying you have to have love to be successful. But if you have a partner and intentionally talk about how to build a relationship in which you support each other's goals, then you have a huge asset career-wise. Your love can be a source of wisdom, emotional support, practical support (sharing housework, sharing cooking so that healthy meals are available, talking out work struggles, etc). Your partner can help you relax. (Remember you think more effectively- ie your brain functions better- when you are less stressed) Also, having a partner at home can motivate you to work more effectively so that you leave on time. Usually the strategy of working longer hours is one of the most ineffective productivity strategies at work. But on the other hand, being more effective with your time, using your resources to get higher quality work done in less time, focusing on higher priority projects first, etc. are the strategies that make you more effective. What I mean is, having a reason to get home on time can inspire you to work smarter, not harder, and then leave on time to actually enjoy your life.Oct 26 2011: I like all of the answers, combining them all in short would be mine. But here is my shot at it, definitely DON'T EXPECT IT, HOPE for it, yes; and unquestionably WORK to be successful at both,. I truly think you can be successful at both, but lets be realistic with our hopes. I mean, how many Steve Jobs (rip) are there that can drop out of school and be as successful as him? Well, I am surely not one, so to be successful at work you have to prepare and work at it, and when it comes to love just don't expect anything, don't put time-lines, don't swear this or that off and if it is meant to be for you it'll come to your life, and when it does you will know it, work at keeping it... As much as we idealize love thinking that "if it is the real thing it will work no matter what", well, truth is that it needs work from the people who are part of it, which is not to say that it is the burdensome kind of work, but the kind that keeps a relationship going. Part of working out love into our life is BALANCING the different aspects of it, it isn't easy but you work at it and then get used to it, work-life balance (companies try to do this for you, but no, you have to do it yourself!)Oct 25 2011: I presume it is too much to expect anything.
And I think there is no answer for your question.
What I do know that the number of singles is growing fast in Western Europe.
Oct 25 2011: yes, maybe "to expect" is too strong of a word. Perhaps "to hope" is more appropriate. I am glad you raised that point of the growing number of singles in Western Europe. Objectively speaking this is becoming a significant problem - balancing professional and private life. And any debate I have seen so far ends with similar conclusion: there is no answer to that question. I find it very difficult to accept there is no answer to any question:) Perhaps we need to think about re-defining some customs and rituals...but perhaps this is a topic for another conversation
Oct 26 2011: I agree with Frans, but it's a well known fact that you either have a great career or successful emotional life. Hence the growing number of singles. At one point in your life you have to make a choice. The leading values in the West right now are rather career oriented. Re-defining customs and rituals as you say, Ivana, cannot happen of a human design. It is a zeit-geist for all I know :)
Oct 26 2011: Jedrek, thank you for pointing this out: "it's a well known fact that you either have a great career or successful emotional life. The leading values in the West right now are rather career oriented" That was basically the reason I started this conversation thread. As for re-defining customs and rituals, I was mostly thinking about ways of parenting and education...perhaps we do not emphasize enough to children that it is necessary to make some effort also in the "private life department", not only job-related. It seems to me that it is very normal to expect students to work really hard for their assignments, projects etc, but their social life is neglected. How many professors you know who are actually concerned about their student's social life? I do not mean that professors should be asking intrusive questions or be overly interested in students' private lives, of course not, but I do think that some general comments could be made, or just some examples from teacher's personal life (of course "edited version", no need to go into very private details), but just to give some kind of pointers, advice, or just to start some discussions like this one...zeitgeist has somehow become "be impersonal" and I fear that could lead to similar crash and crisis we are now seeing in economics. Human beings are emotional and this has been neglected in the professional world. By re-defining customs I meant working on these issues...Oct 26 2011: Ivana, I know its tempting to establish some kind of ministry of emotional affairs, but I am affraid there is no systemic solution to the kind of crisis we are driffting to. I am, however, also convinced that one day things will basically start to change. During the course of history intellect and emotions have intermingled constantly. Maybe now instead of replacing intellect with emotions we will simply fuse the two elements and become all-sided. Won't that be cool? :)
But for the time being, we have to survive that emotional winter by acting on a small scale, changing what is nearest to us. I am remembering now a scene that happened at a local supermarket here in Warsaw :) The guy who works at the vegetables stand was simply kind to everybody and you could almost feel how the kindness vibrated in the air with everybody being suddenly friendly to one another :) That is how emotions work, they are like the pulsating sun, and everybody no matter how mineralised they have become, want to warm themselves just a little bit, and share it. We are human beings after all :)
Oct 26 2011: great reply!!! Thanks! :)Nov 25 2011: A few words on the word "success" and the dichotomy suggested in the question. I would like to substitute "satisfaction" for "success," since it strikes me as much more important. The human personality is such that we can't separate out aspects of our lives and grade them separately. They all influence one another. I think that the chances of finding satisfaction in love is greater for one who also finds satisfaction in his/her work. But there are many other important aspects of our lives, particularly social interaction and contribution, and I will suggest that we look at satisfaction (or success, if you will) of the person as a whole.
For a reflective person, the need to get promoted before one's fellows or to be publicly rewarded with applause and prizes diminishes with maturity. I would say that a bus driver can easily be more successful than a university president or a senator. Even without being head bus driver. I'll go so far as to suggest (here I'm liberating myself from supporting data, of which I have none) that the most successful lives are lived quietly, without fanfare, by people who give of themselves in their community. Can that be combined with satisfaction in work and a warm love at home? You bet it can. It almost always is.Nov 25 2011: I'm going to go ahead and be incredibly old school here... with a modern twist... I think it is impossible for two people to have different careers, and be in a successful relationship. I think you can fall into the old model of provider and parent... Or you can share your work with your partner. Anything else is, of course, possible... but incredibly difficult.
If you both want to build shelters... No problem, share your passion and mate like wild rabbits for eternity. If one of you wants to be an engineer, and the other one wants to be a parent... no problem. One mate works there ass off, and the other rubs their feet, cooks dinner, and takes the kids to museums and art galleries...
If you both want to work, and you don't have similar ambition it is difficult to have a happy love life, and have time for your children. You really need a mate willing to dedicate themselves to being supportive of you if you want to have a happy family life, happy children, and a 50 hour a week job. Easier without kids, but still hard.
The modern twist... The parent doesn't have to be a woman... Fulbright Scholar from Columbia, huh? Hey... How you doin? I like museums... You want a foot rub?
; p
Nov 25 2011: Well David, this is very elaborate, thanks :) And yes, I agree that it's impossible for two people to have different careers, and be in a successful relationship...so, you like museums? :PNov 24 2011: people face trade-off, it means if we give ourself away on something, other things will be sacrificed. you should choose which is the most important thing in your life now, rank them in priority scale. if you want to build your career first, just give yourself away and i believe you will achieve it. then, you will delay your love-life matters until your first priority is done.Nov 20 2011: The answer to your question is of course YES however people are not mind readers and if you dont put yourself "out there" then no one will know!Oct 31 2011: ratherthanwriting whole essay...u can demand whatever u wish out of ur life..but priority of things and seconly balance between them is important...Oct 30 2011: Hi Ivana - Very interesting question. My answer would be "It depends".
Sometimes looking from the outside in some successful people appear to have it all, I suspect that if you look a little closer something has to give. I guess it is important to find the right balance in each of our lives.
Some of the very successful business-people I know have made very significant sacrifices in their personal / family lives. I guess that the opposite might also happen, where people have made career / business sacrifices for the sake of their relationships. Who knows, maybe there is a perfect middle ground somewhere.
If you find the right answer let me know.
FinbarrOct 30 2011: and yes, I completely agree with what you've written here. The only problem is that to find such a partner.Oct 30 2011: ok, thanks for the info, I'll look up that book.Oct 30 2011: yes, I think you touched here an important topic..."it's possible when both parties..."Oct 30 2011: Although, I am curently challenged n this area, I think it is absolutely possibel when both parties are comfortable in their own power and communication is free flowing.Oct 29 2011: This is a tough question...
Maybe is your parter shares your passion and career. You would need to share a business together else you might just get a better job offer an leave which will end the whole affair.
Hope like you say, we always have hope. I guess it's important to never get too attached to anything. Everything is transient anyway.Oct 26 2011: Ivana, It is completely absolutely possible to have success both in your prof. and love life. I dont see why not. It's a hard work for your heart for both cases though. And please pay attention to the phrase "work for your heart". I think that the successful career and relationships are not matter of thinking but of feeling & thinking. It might be initially a chance but if you cant take care of it, this chance will go away...so, the truth is take care of everything u do and deal with. - as it is ur baby.Oct 26 2011: Absolutely! I now know that it is possible, however I do think that a lot depends on your partner! As stated below :)Oct 25 2011: I think you can have both and that a lot depends on your partner. I mean, seriously why not? Maybe you wont be the best in the world in what you do but still you can be very succesfull.
Oct 26 2011: that is a very good point : A lot depends on your partner! That actually raises another issue: in order to have a functional relationship, is it necessary to have partners of similar background in education/interests?Oct 25 2011: To leave any thing to situation and circumstance to predict is a weak proposal to fate; to plan and fail is rather a better fit to fate; because choice plays an interesting and integral part of in human or natural propositions and its outcome. Whether this choices are conscious or not, life itself holds us accountable of what we do with this time. Therefore balance is good if this balance feeds to the collective universal energy.
To find love is not a choice is a matter of time; you don't wake up in the morning saying, oh you know, I will fall in love or I will be in love today! It happen due to universal permutation of energy in time and space. But when you re in love, you will know it and from then on the choice of what you do when in love is all up you, my friend! The next option is, how you negotiate internal conflicts of how you want to fall in love or how you want to be in love.
Balance in life is a creative energy that builds in us the ability to gravitate toward the equal plane fields before us.
Therefore you build relationship base on culture, money, and love each one of these is capable of a great and wonderful yet fulfilling life.
Its all up to you, where are you coming from and where are you heading and with whom?
Oct 26 2011: thanks Cliff, you give a lot of "food for thought" here.Oct 25 2011: "There are only two motivations in this life."
Guess that all depends on how much you want of each.
Finding that equilibrium however.... well i just don't know haha
Oct 25 2011: so basically you are saying that it does depend on what we do and how we choose. It is not just random....and I know this was not the primary meaning of what you wrote, but somehow it seems to me that what you said implies this as wellOct 25 2011: http://www.ted.com/talks/nic_marks_the_happy_planet_index.html
Not at all. Expect the best and achieve a little less.
In this life there is both free will and fate. Like a game of chess.... or... a rubix cube lol
If you haven't already seen it, check out that TEDtalk. Nic Marks talks about the 5 things that we can do everyday to be happier. Kinda like what your saying here. Informative nonetheless..
Oct 25 2011: thanks for the link. It is a very good talk. but you haven't completely answered what I asked:) is it possible to have sufficient success in both aspects (job and private life) without having to sacrifice too much of any of the two...? I know this is very vague (like what is "too much"?) but still...

Comments On Aug 12, 2013:For the price this are some good tires. Almost same tread pattern as the Maxxis tires.
These things will grip and rip when you want them too, but easy enough to break them loose when your wanting to powerslide around a corner.

Interpretive Handbook
9273 :
Subcutaneous Fat Aspirate
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterized by abnormal production and deposition of amyloid fibrils. Deposition distorts normal tissue architecture and impairs organ function.
The early symptoms of amyloidosis are often nonspecific (eg, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, edema, paresthesia). Macroglossia and periorbital edema are highly specific findings but are present in <20% of patients. Patients often present with renal disease, congestive heart failure, sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, and orthostatic hypotension.
While biopsy of an affected organ (eg, kidney, heart, rectum, sural nerve) is almost always diagnostic, it is usually not necessary. Fat tissue is a common site of amyloid deposition in amyloidosis and is easily obtained by needle aspiration with minimal risk.
See Laboratory Approach to the Diagnosis of Amyloidosis and Laboratory Screening Tests for Suspected Multiple Myeloma in Special Instructions.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Demonstration of amyloid deposits as a practical procedure for the diagnosis of all forms of amyloidosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Fat aspiration (FA) has a reported sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 99% for amyloidosis.(2) If the degree of clinical suspicion for amyloidosis is high and the FA is negative, further investigation, including biopsy of an affected organ is indicated.
The laboratory will provide an interpretive report.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
At least 3 to 6 particles of fat should be obtained for an adequate analysis.
This test provides a low yield and is therefore not recommended in evaluating patients with isolated peripheral neuropathy who have no other findings suggestive of amyloidosis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative (reported as positive or negative)
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

I thought I would share my all new bench. I still need to take everything off and paint it and there are a few more details I would like to finish but It is nearly done. It is amazing how easy it is to work now that 90% of my tools are in one place.
There are a few things you can't see in the pictures. There is a 50' hose reel hiding under the bench top that once the bench gets air to raise the airbags then powers the hose real. Behind the tool box on the right there is 2 wire reels that hold 4 1000" rolls of wire each. I drilled holes in the top of the bench and chamfered the holes so that the wire comes up threw the top of the work bench behind the vise. The pegboard was the most expensive part of the whole project ($250), not counting the tool boxes that I had traded labor for and the black one I already had. The airbag raise the bench about 2 inches to allow the bench to be moved but I need to get better casters as they don't like all the weight of the bench. I tried to keep it light with only using 2" channel for the lower frame and below the 1/4 thick top. I used 1.5" sq for the uprights and some 1/2 pipe. I built it all from scrap $100 or less.
I also want to add a vertical brace in the centre of the pegboard to the work top to cut down on flexing. The light/air tool rack weights a lot and tends to wiggle a bit. I added some chain and turn buckles in behind the pegboard wall and it took a lot of the flex out but it still needs a bit more tweaking.

I love the airbag design............Brilliant!
I had a friend that used four large inflatable tires to do the same thing. To put the bench on the floor, he simply let air out of the tires..............RoyB

I am in Cold Lake, Alberta.
I hate when using a vise that a bench follows you but with the bench grounded (air bags deflated) it doesn't move an inch. I got the air bags from a vehicle leveling kit that was missing pieces for $20 with lines and fittings.
The recievers are used for when I have to work on an axle. They extend 18" Each and can be removed and used for slide out trays for things like my tube notcher to attach too.

That's one Sweet Set-up you have there. Everything is right there for you !!

Interpretive Handbook
83123 :
Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangement, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The immunoglobulin (Ig) genes (heavy, kappa, and lambda) are comprised of numerous, discontinuous coding segments. As B cells develop, the segments are rearranged such that each mature B cell and plasma cell has a unique rearrangement profile. Other cell types usually retain the nonrearranged gene structures. Clonal expansion of any B cell or plasma cell will result in a population of cells that all contain an identical Ig gene rearrangement profile.
Reactive B cell or plasma cell expansions are polyclonal, with each clone containing relatively few cells and no 1 clone predominating. Conversely, neoplastic clones are generally large such that the clonal cells are the predominant B cells or plasma cells present.
In the appropriate clinical and pathologic setting, detection of a prominent Ig gene rearrangement profile may be equated to the presence of a neoplastic B-cell or plasma cell clone.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining whether a B-cell or plasma cell population is polyclonal or monoclonal
Identifying neoplastic cells as having B-cell or plasma cell differentiation
Monitoring for a persistent neoplasm by detecting an immunoglobulin gene rearrangement profile similar to one from a previous neoplastic specimen
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
The interpretation of the presence or absence of a predominant immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangement profile is sometimes subjective. These results must always be interpreted in the context of other clinicopathologic information to determine the significance of the result.
The detection of a clonal Ig gene rearrangement by this test is not synonymous with the presence of a B-cell or plasma cell neoplasm.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is neither 100% sensitive nor 100% specific.
False-negative results may occur if the immunoglobulin (Ig) gene has numerous point mutations introduced during expansion in a follicle center (somatic hypermutation) such that none of the PCR primers will bind. False-negatives will also occur if the clonal cells have not rearranged the Ig genes being evaluated or are present below the sensitivity level of the assay (sensitivity is quite variable but the assay requires that at least 1%-5% of the nucleated cells present be clonal). False-positive results are rare, but may occur if a predominant clone (or small number of clones) is produced or sampled from a polyclonal expansion.
The test does not provide information regarding:
-The differentiation of the clonal cell population (neoplastic cells other than B cells or plasma cells may occasionally have Ig gene rearrangements)
-Whether a prominent clone is physiologic or neoplastic
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Step 1: Tools and Parts Needed
1 - Metal Strainer/Steamer
1 - USB WIFI Adaptor
1 - USB Extension Cable (I chose a 10ft long)
½" Drill Bit (I like to use stepper bits for metal)
Gorilla Glue (Epoxy works well too)
2 - Zip Ties
haave u you check the mineral deposit in an around yr home at all. also u could have rf signals the are interfering with yr wifi. and or some 1 else is hooging yr band with on you. also check 4 competing wifi in an around yr home as well.
I bought the adapter and when I connected to the laptop, didn't increased the signal strength. I used to have one wireless icon in the tray of my laptop, now I have #1 and #2 icons, the strength is the same. The connection comes and goes. How this can improve the strength and not show the two icons? Thank you for any help
I do not know much about a DSL system, since I have cable internet.
Does the DSL have a router or does your mother have a router with the DSL system. I you can not send the signal via air or wireless, would you consider a wired system?
A Ethernet cable is able to carry the internet signal for 100 meters or about 330 feet without loss. You would need a router at your mothers house. Use one ethernet cable for your mothers system. Then use another ethernet cable from the router at your mothers house and run it to your place. Put the cable a few inches below ground, if you have to gross a driveway etc.put the cable in an electrical conduit so it does not get damaged.
There maybe an other option for wireless connections. Use of two external yagi antennas, one at your mothers house and one at your place. Something like that http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Wireless-Antenna-Booster-Bluetooth/dp/B0054MLMLA/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357416794&sr=1-2&keywords=yagi+wifi+antenna
Just google yagi antenna for wifi.
You would need to mount it on a pole outside both house, the higher the better, Do it at your mother's place as well your place. Aim the antenna from your mother's place toward your place and vise versa.
Remember those yagi antennas are very directional so aiming must be exact to get the best signal.
Hope this helps.
you need a directional antenna.
go here: http://martybugs.net/wireless/biquad/
good directions, I have made 6 of these biQuads. any metal will make a good back plate.
you need to get a reverse sma antemma extender cable, cut off the connector not needed & solder its end in the biquad. I use one on the distant computer to bump the signal up 3 bars. the garage is not much an issue.
My hawking tech usb antenna has a removal antenna. I just screw in the biquad & aim.
your router may have a larger connector, so buy the cable & solder it in.
teh biquad will boost singals thru the wall & thru a window is steller!
I have made ALL the various antennas. the single Bi-Quad is my Fav!
Mr Steve
This ones my personal favorite. Picking up signals from hundreds of feet away is cool. Picking up wifi from a couple miles out.
l router l=------cable------(---- antena
In my experiments I found paper clips to be more convenient because I could remove them to close the strainer for travel.
Also, if need be, you can also use the zip-ties/paper clips to lock the shape of the dish into a different parabolic shape which may better focus the "hotspot" of the signal for a particular wifi adapter.
Remember, the strainer used as a parabolic focusing device can also be used to increase the signal of a bluetooth device or a cellular phone, so the adjustable aspect of the parabolic shape of the strainer makes for some good experiments.
I disagree with hard-mounting the USB cable of the wifi adapter to the center of the strainer. Instead the hole in the center strainer should be based on the width of the wifi adapter, or even better, based on a small piece of plastic tubing which the adapter can snuggly slide back and forth in.
How one would make the hole is up to the individual and the tools at hand, but making four cuts with a pair of tin snips and carefully bending the pie-shaped pieces with pliers to hold either the adapter or a two inch long plastic tube to mount the adapter into is not rocket science.
Not only does this allow for the adapter to be tuned for best signal strength, it also makes the unit very portable and easily dis-assembled, and preserves the wifi adapter and its USB cable in their original condition for other applications.
I think it would be easier to buy adapter for example from wireless adapter reviews website. It's only cost 10-20$
My favorite is Alfa AWU
You can find various reviews of best usb adapters here
We regularly spend time at our cottage where we are internet-less. As the crow flies, we are probably only about 1 km from an unsecured wifi network, but it is 10 minutes over rough roads, and it would be kinda obvious if we just parked outside. We also have an antenna tower on that side of the house doing nothing, since we have satellite.
Since I have a USB wifi adapter that's been sitting in a drawer doing nothing, I am definitely going to give this a try. I would be willing to climb partway up the tower with my laptop to connect to the 'net occasionally to be able to download weather forecasts and download/upload e-mail when we're there for longer spells. If it works, I'll post back with firmer data! Wish me luck!
try making an Cantenna out of a 46 oz. juice can.
if the probe making & construction is troublesome & it is.
teh simpler way is to
just take the can & measure 1.24" from the cans rear. cut a slot your existing ubs donagal antenna fits tightly into. shove it up inside an 1" to 1.3".
you will need a short usb extender cable.
play with it to find the HOTSPOT. aim the can & you will be amazed at the improved signal!!! cost of a can of juice.
I have made several, gave to friends .

On the shores of the Mediterranean, Tipasa was an ancient Punic trading-post conquered by Rome and turned into a strategic base for the conquest of the kingdoms of Mauritania. It comprises a unique group of Phoenician, Roman, palaeochristian and Byzantine ruins alongside indigenous monuments such as the Kbor er Roumia, the great royal mausoleum of Mauretania.

تقع تيبازا على ضفاف البحر المتوسط وهي مركز تجاري بوني (قرطاجي) قديم. احتلّها الرومان وجعلوها قاعدة استراتيجية لفتح الممالك الموريتانية. تشمل تيبازا مجموعة فريدة من الآثار الفينيقية والرومانية والمسيحية القديمة والبيزنطية التي تتجاور مع النصب المحلية مثل قبر الرومية وهو الضريح الموريتاني الملكي الكبير.

Aan de oevers van de Middellandse Zee ligt Tipasa, een oude Punische handelspost veroverd door Rome. De Romeinen vormden de stad om tot een strategische uitvalsbasis voor de verovering van de koninkrijken van Mauritanië. Tipasa bestaat uit een unieke groep van Fenicische, Romeinse, paleochristelijke en Byzantijnse ruïnes met daarnaast ook inheemse monumenten, zoals de Kbor er Roumia, het grote koninklijke mausoleum van Mauritanië. Tipasa is een bundeling van de meest bijzondere archeologische complexen van de Maghreb. De stad is erg belangrijk voor de studie naar contacten tussen inheemse beschavingen en de kolonisatiegolven in de periode van de 6e eeuw voor tot de 6e eeuw na Christus.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Tipasa is located 70 km west of Algiers. It is a serial property comprising three sites: two archaeological parks located in the vicinity of the present urban complex and the Royal Mauritanian Mausoleum, on the west Sahel plateau of Algiers, at 11 km south-east of Tipasa.
The archaeological site of Tipasa regroups one of the most extraordinary archaeological complexes of the Maghreb, and perhaps one which is most significant to the study of the contacts between the indigenous civilizations and the different waves of colonization from the 6th century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. This coastal city was first a Carthaginian trading centre, whose necropolis is one of the oldest and one of the most extensive of the Punic world (6th to 2nd century B.C.). During this period, Tipasa played the role of a maritime port of call, a place for commercial exchanges with the indigenous population. Numerous necropolis testify to the very varied types of burial and funerary practices that bear witness to the multicultural exchange of influences dating back to protohistoric times. The monumental, circular funerary building, called the Royal Mauritanian Mausoleum, associates a local architectural tradition of the basina type, to a style of stepped truncated roof covering, the result of the different contributions, notably Hellenistic and Pharaonic.
The Roman period is marked by a prestigious ensemble of buildings, comprising very diversified architectural typologies. From the 3rd to the 4th centuries A.D. a striking increase in Christianity is demonstrated by the multitude of religious buildings. Some are decorated with high quality mosaic pavings, illustrating scenes from daily life, or geometric patterns. The Vandal invasion of the 430's did not mark the definitive end of prosperity of Tipasa, but the town, reconquered by the Byzantines in 531, gradually fell into decline from the 6th century.
Criterion (iii): Tipasa bears exceptional testimony to the Punic and Roman civilizations now disappeared.
Criterion (iv): The architectural and archaeological vestiges of Tipasa reflect in a significant manner the contacts between the indigenous civilizations and the Punic and Roman waves of colonization between the 6th century B.C. and the 6th century A.D.
The boundary for the three sites has been clarified and approved by the World Heritage Committee (Decision 33 COM 8D, 2009). It includes the ensemble of vestiges that bear witness to the exceptional town-planning, architectural, historic and archaeological values of the property. The property is vulnerable due to the impact from urban development, unregulated tourism and population growth.
The town-planning and architectural attributes, the decoration and construction materials, all retain their original aspect that express the values, as defined at the time of inscription of the property. However, they are vulnerable through lack of conservation, encroachment of the vegetation, illegal grazing and uncontrolled visitor access.
Protection and management requirements
The legal and management framework of this property includes Laws 90-30 (regional law), 98-04 (concerning protection of cultural heritage), the Permanent Safeguarding and Presentation Plan of the site (PPSMV), the Ground Occupation Plan approved by the communal assembly of Tipasa (POS) and the Protection and Presentation Plan of archaeological sites and their buffer zone (PPMVSA), under preparation codified by executive decree N° 324-2003. A new establishment, the Office of Management and Exploitation of Cultural Properties, in coordination with the Directorate for Culture of the Wilaya (province) now manages the archaeological sites of Tipasa.
Long Description
Tipasa comprises a unique group of Phoenician, Roman, palaeo-Christian and Byzantine ruins alongside indigenous monuments such as the Kbor er Roumia, the great royal mausoleum of Mauritania.
The site of Tipasa, on the Mediterranean coast 70 km west of Algiers, brings together one of the most extraordinary archaeological complexes of the Maghreb; it is perhaps the one that is most significant to the study of the contacts between the indigenous civilizations and various waves of colonization from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD. This coastal city was first a Carthaginian trading centre, whose cemetery is one of the most extensive of the Phoenician world (6th-2nd centuries BC). It was then conquered by the Romans who used it as a base from which to conquer the Mauritanian kingdoms.
The oldest Roman settlement is located in the centre of the city on a steep slope protected by cliffs and by a rudimentary defensive wall. In AD 147, at the time of the war undertaken by Antoninus Pius against the Mauritanians, this modest settlement was enclosed by a wall, 2,300 m in length. This rampart, which is flanked by square and circular towers, includes three main entrances, two of which are protected by semi-circular fortified defensive works comparable with those found in Gaul and Germany. Within this enclosure there are important buildings situated both in the original core of the city and in its new quarters: the forum, the curia, the capitolium, two temples, an amphitheatre, a nymphaeum, a theatre and baths.
The impressive ruins of the civic buildings are set in the heart of a dense network of private houses (many decorated with paintings and mosaics), commercial warehouses, and industrial establishments of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Christianity was established in the city in the second half of the 3rd century(Tipasa later became a bishopric) and there are numerous Christian religious buildings. The immense 4th-century seven-aisled basilica, the central aisle of which was later subdivided, and a baptistry based on a circular plan, were located intra muros to the west on the hill of Ras Knissia.
Beyond the enceinte, a vast Christian cemetery spreads out around a funerary chapel which Bishop Alexander constructed as a resting place for his predecessor. Across to the east are the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, and on the hill of St Salsa are to be found the tomb and the church dedicated to this martyr, which became the object of a pilgrimage around which another cemetery developed.
The Vandal invasion of the 430s did not mark the definitive end of Tipasa's prosperity, but although the city was reconquered by the Byzantines in 534, it fell into a decline in the 6th century from which it never recovered.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
