An omni directional antenna for what purpose? Mobile? Stationary? WarDriving? Wireless pen testing? Define the use, and someone may be able to help you chose the right antenna.
As far as the "power booster" goes: Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers (the real name of such devices) are something that can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing with them. RF radiation burns can be serious, and it's pretty easy to get one with an amp, especially if you don't know what you are doing. Give yourself some time to become knowledgeable in the subject before purchasing one. Amps have their applications, but there are distinct downsides to using them. For example, besides boosting the RF power, amps also boost the Noise, so you have to be prepared to deal with that. Amps also increase the potential for SWR damage to the equipment if you cables aren't up to snuff. Another problem is that it is very easy to exceed the legal limits using the wrong combination of antenna and amp. think of it this way: Do you really need a visit from the FCC and a $10,000 fine (or worse, endanger you health or that of your family) because you didn't know what you were doing?
Once you have gained some knowledge of the subject, then you can determine if you even need an amp.

The 2011 World Series of Beer
Apples are to cider what grapes are to wine. You've got your wildly sweet, and sour and tart and bitter and all the rest — not unlike wine grapes. You press the apples for their juice, occasionally blending said varietals along the way, then you add some yeast, and the juice is laid to rest for fermentation. Depending on the cider house, fermentation time can vary from weeks to many months, with longer maturation adding complexity to the finished product.
There is nothing girly about bubbles. If anything, bubbles add complexity and sophistication. Not all hard ciders contain bubbles, but the ones that do have probably seen a gentle reintroduction of CO2 or have undergone a process called dosage (the addition of sugar and yeast to facilitate a second fermentation), which creates bubbles-the same process by which Champagne is made. And if it's good enough for Champagne, it's good enough for you.

Outgoing Internet calls take a long time to establish
When you enter a number to make a call over the Internet, it takes several seconds before the call is executed. The time it takes to execute a call is considerably longer than when making a call over the landline.
- When you make landline calls, each digit is transmitted to your provider right after you enter it; as a result, when making landline calls, the number is dialed immediately after the last digit is entered. By comparison, when making Internet calls, the complete number must be transmitted to the provider at once (en-bloc dialing). The FRITZ!Box (or any other PBX) does not know when you have finished entering the complete number; it therefore waits several seconds after the last digit has been entered before transmitting the number to your provider.
1 Shortening the dialing procedure
The dialing procedure is automatically shortened when you dial known numbers. It can be accelerated when dialing unknown numbers:
- When you call numbers that are saved in a FRITZ!Box telephone book, the calls are always executed immediately because the numbers are already known to the FRITZ!Box.
- You can reduce the time it takes to dial unknown numbers by pressing the # button after entering the complete number. This terminates dialing mode and the call is executed immediately.
- If you successfully called a number once, then the FRITZ!Box saves this number until it is restarted. Any time you call this number in the future, it is dialed immediately.

So the 2010+ mustangs are a pain to install aftermarket head units. The bezel houses a circuit board that the radio contols and hvac in one unit with the main part the radio/cd is behind it. Did some research and found the scorch replacement bezel that gives you your hvac, but it relocates the head unit down infront of the shifter. The hvac controls look cheap. I decited to hack it apart.I dont have sync, so no bluetooth. So I had keep my volume controls. I cut the top buttons off the circuit board. I had out where the buttons and the info screen was, the fiberglass and bondo the indentions where the info screen was. I made a cradle for the tablet to sit in. I tapped into the fuse panel for auxillary power to charge the tab. I also added a pc fan to keep it cool during charge. I used a 90 degree headphone jack and ran a cable to the mp3 port in the center consle. I want to redue the bezel later but i think it turned out nice.

Please update your Flash Player
Shaundra Daily knows girls talk. They chat on the phone and online, and sometimes write in journals. But she wondered if they could use more help in understanding their feelings, especially when dealing with highly charged home and personal situations.
An electrical engineer, Shaundra decided a computer program might help. "I was hanging out with a group of girls called Las Chicas Bonitas at a church in Cambridge, Massachusetts," she said, "and we were having these wonderful conversations. I thought, what if there was software that could support this?"
Developing G.I.R.L.S.
The girls' church group inspired Shaundra to create a software program called Girls Involved in Real Life Sharing—G.I.R.L.S. The program allows a girl to type in a story about something difficult she's going through, and then create a comic-book-like version of her story with pictures and captions. "The software then reads each caption and tries to determine, sort of like a real person would, what emotion is being expressed," Shaundra says. The computer's feedback gives the girl a chance to explore her feelings further.
Looking Within
Shaundra's first test subject was herself. "I wrote a story about my parents divorcing when I was young, and the program suggested the emotions of angry and happy," she says. "That seemed weird. But then I realized that for some kids that would be the case: they would be angry about the divorce but happy about not having fighting in the house."
She's working to put the software online where teens can access it anonymously, without fear of their stories becoming known. "My program isn't counseling," she points out. "It's software that helps you reflect on yourself."
Machines with Emotional Intelligence
Shaundra is a graduate research assistant at MIT's Media Lab in the Affective Computing Group. She works in a revolutionary new field—affective, or emotional, computing—which develops software that can recognize and respond to our emotions. Some of the groundbreaking projects coming out of the Media Lab in recent years include the Galvactivator, a wearable, glove-like device that senses how excited a person is, and "Affective Tigger," a stuffed animal that can react to a child's moods and feelings.
From the FBI to Engineering
In high school, Shaundra thought she wanted to become an FBI agent. "A chemistry teacher set up a mini crime scene for us to investigate," she remembers, "and it was so much fun. I've always been a big puzzle person, and I thought, FBI equals solving problems." After speaking with a friend's parent who was in the FBI, Shaundra entered Florida State University with the option of choosing criminology or engineering as a major. Since she'd always enjoyed math and science, she chose engineering.
Although she started off as a civil engineer, Shaundra quickly found that electrical engineering was what deeply interested her. She also realized how much she loved working with kids—something she only did on the side as a volunteer. In creating her G.I.R.L.S. software, Shaundra was able to combine these two passions.

Students define what being "responsible" means to themselves. Students at over a hundred colleges and universities are using the pledge at some level, at schools which range in size from Whitman, to Harvard, to University of Kansas. Graduates who voluntarily signed the pledge have turned down jobs they did not feel morally comfortable with and have worked to make changes once on the job. For example, they have promoted recycling at their organization, removed racist language from a training manual, worked for gender parity in high school athletics, and helped to convince an employer to refuse a chemical weapons-related contract.

Swimming & Diving Release 2013-14 Schedule
June 12, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – First-year Kentucky head coach Lars Jorgensen and the UK swimming and diving team will face stiff competition in their 2013-14 campaign. The men square off against six different teams that finished in the top 20 at the NCAA Championships last season, while the women will compete against four such foes this year.
The Kentucky men finished No. 22 at NCAAs thanks to an impressive showing from junior diver Greg Ferrucci who earned all of Kentucky's points at the championships with three fourth-place finishes. The women sent two competitors to the NCAA championships, but did not score in any of their events. The Wildcats return all four of their NCAA competitors from a year ago.
Kentucky's schedule is annually difficult, and the 2013-14 is no different as the Wildcats face four Southeastern Conference rivals in dual-meet competition. They will get the SEC portion of the schedule underway immediately with a road meet in Athens, Ga., to take on the defending national champion women's team and last year's No. 10 men's team on Sept. 25.
"We have a challenging schedule," said Jorgensen. "We open up with Georgia who is the women's national champions and they have a very good men's program. Our focus meet is the SEC Championships, but we're excited about swimming a challenging schedule and our two home meets with Ohio State and Cincinnati."
The Wildcats will return home host the first of their two home meets in Lexington, Ky., this season when they host Ohio State. The Buckeyes boast two top-30 programs including the men's squad that finished No. 12 last season.
From there, the Cats will be on the road up until the regular season finale, stopping first in Carbondale, Ill., to take on Southern Illinois and Missouri on Oct. 24 and 25. There, Ferrucci will go head to head with fellow All-American diver David Bonuchi. Both the UK men and women got a pair of victories last season against SIU but fell to the No. 14 Missouri men and women in Columbia, Mo.
On Nov. 1, UK will rekindle its rivalries with Tennessee and Indiana in Bloomington, Ind. Last year's Indiana team boasted the nation's No. 9 men and No. 11 women, while Tennessee's women finished third in the country with the men finishing 16th.
In their first non-dual meet competition, Kentucky will meet Ohio State again with several other competitors in Columbus, Ohio, for the Ohio State Invitational Nov. 22-24. Kentucky then wraps up competition in 2013 at the USA AT&T Winter Nationals in Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 5-7.
After the holiday break, action ramps back up on Jan. 3 with the Georgia Diving Invitational back in Athens, Ga., which runs through Jan. 5, while swimming action gets underway a week later on Jan. 11 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., against Alabama.
As the regular season winds down, UK goes out of conference for a road meet at rival Louisville on Jan. 25 and then finishes up the regular season with a Senior Day celebration when the Wildcats host Cincinnati on Feb. 1.
Postseason competition begins with the SEC Championships beginning on Feb. 18 and running through the 22nd hosted by UGA.
After SECs, preparation for the NCAA Championships begins with the Last Chance Qualifying meet, once again in Athens, Ga., slated for March 1. Divers will have their opportunity to qualify for the championships March 13-15 in the Zone Diving Championships in Columbus, Oh.
The women's NCAA Championships will be held March 20-23 in Minneapolis, Minn., and the men's championship is a week later, March 27-30 in Austin, Tex.

The Child Development Clinic at Children's National Health System evaluates more than 1,500 children each year from birth to 4 years of age with developmental concerns, including:
Program Director Johanna (Penny) Glass, PhD, is a renowned expert in infant and child development, recognized for her pioneering research concerning the development of high risk infants. The program staff of developmental and clinical psychologists provides comprehensive evaluations and consultation, parent support and training, and referrals to specialty clinics within Children's National and to resources in the community. The staff works closely with the child's primary care provider.
There are many reasons why children are referred to our specialists:
Evaluations may involve up to two visits. Parents are in the room with the child. A specialist engages the child with standardized test items and toy materials in a structured manner and also observes the child during unstructured play. The evaluation determines how a child is developing compared to other children of the same age, looking for both special strengths and areas of difficulty. Important insight about the child's behavior at home is obtained by in-depth parent interview. Available records from previous evaluations or other specialists are also reviewed. Immediate feedback regarding the child's development and specific therapeutic recommendations and any indicated referrals (to specialty clinics or community intervention programs) are provided to the parent, followed by an integrated written report.

Taylor Swift's Anti-Bullying Message To Fan Goes Viral
Listen to Taylor Swift Radio on iHeartRadio
Taylor Swift is putting the message of her "Shake It Off" song to practice. A touching note she wrote to a young fan on Instagram is going viral.
Apparently the fan had confided in her about being bullied in school, which prompted the singer to reach out to her personally. Taylor gave the girl some kind words of advice in her attempts to brighten her spirit about returning back to school this week.
The 24-year-old star told the fan that unfortunately bullying doesn't end after high school, and reminded her that "the only way they win is if your tears turn you to stone and make you bitter like them." Taylor seemed to have taken an interest in the fan as well, checking out and commenting on her YouTube covers and videos.
Taylor just left this comment on Instagram for a fan and I'm bawling in tears so hard right now. #same pic.twitter.com/xD9RzkMBSp

Published October 1, 2013
On a Tuesday morning in June, warm but overcast, school groups huddle around the Buffalo Zoo's polar bear exhibit. The children come and go in great, chattering waves of 20 or 30, oohing and aahing and balancing on tiptoe to get a better view.
They are here to see Kali and Luna, the zoo's fluffy white cubs.
One moment, the bears are romping around their habitat, splashing in a shallow pool and tackling colorful toys. Then, suddenly, Kali bolts to one end of the enclosure. He clenches his right paw in his mouth and starts to suck on it, making a humming noise that sounds like a series of fast-paced clicks.
"Is that polar bear sucking its thumb?" a boy with brown hair and glasses asks his chaperone.
That assessment isn't too far off, says Jackie Heatwole, a UB master's student in biological sciences.
For two months, Heatwole has been observing the cubs: Luna, a female born at the zoo, and Kali, a male who came to Buffalo in May after a hunter shot his mom in the Alaskan wilderness. Both are about 6 months old.
Heatwole has been tracking their behavior to better understand polar bear development, as well as how the two bears differ from one another, given their divergent histories.
The paw-sucking, for instance, is unique to Kali—Luna doesn't do it. Heatwole thinks that Kali finds the action comforting; it's a way to soothe himself when he's feeling anxious. He has had a difficult life for a baby bear, she says.
"The short time he's been in this world has been very tumultuous for him," Heatwole says. "He lost his mother, then he was at one zoo, now he's here.
"He was born in the wild and wasn't initially raised by people," she adds. "He seems to have a higher anxiety level when crowds are larger."
When Heatwole watches the bears, she sees something completely different from the average observer. She knows Kali and Luna by their faces. She sees the patterns in their lives, the way that Luna is drawn to people and the way that Kali is guarded.
Though polar bears have long captured the imagination of the public, the scientific literature is surprisingly sparse when it comes to describing the animals' day-to-day behavior, explains Charlotte Lindqvist, Heatwole's adviser and an assistant professor of biological sciences.
When Heatwole and Lindqvist ran a search, they found only a handful of journal articles on polar bear behavior, and just one focused on cub development.
Lindqvist says the opportunity to study Luna and Kali is extremely unusual. To have a wild and zoo-born bear of the same age in the same place is a rare coincidence, so she was thrilled when a colleague forwarded her a message from zoo curator Jerry Aquilina asking if any local researchers had students interested in conducting observations.
"This is a very unique opportunity," Lindqvist says. "It doesn't happen very often."
The project complements the zoo's mission of promoting conservation and educating the public about the value of biodiversity.
With climate change melting Arctic sea ice, the polar bear's favored habitat, Lindqvist has undertaken a number of studies in recent years to investigate the animal's genetic profile and history. The goal: to learn how polar bears evolved and gain insight into what makes a polar bear a polar bear—knowledge that could enhance efforts to protect the species down the line.
Heatwole's behavioral research is one piece of that broader research program. She spends about two hours every weekday watching Luna and Kali, devoting an hour to each bear.
With a notebook and stopwatch in hand, she runs through a checklist every 60 seconds, marking down what activities the bear she's observing has completed during that time.
Is he biting a toy? Sucking his paw? Licking the dirt?
She also jots down any unusual behavior.
Watching Luna and Kali day after day, Heatwole has gotten to know their personalities and quirks.
"They're just endless entertainment," she says. "It's so fun to watch them. Sometimes, Kali will be doing something and Luna will stalk him. She'll come up behind him and jump on him."
It's Luna's way of saying, 'Hello, let's play.'
Heatwole says it's amazing how much the two bears have taught each other.
"Luna has really brought Kali out of his shell. Compared to when he first came, he's a different animal," Heatwole says. "And Luna was raised by humans, so she has to learn how to be a bear and socialize with bears, and Kali is helping her with that."
When Kali arrived in Buffalo, he spent most of Heatwole's observation period sucking on his paw and humming. Now, it happens much less frequently, she says.
One recent morning, Heatwole stood outside the polar bear exhibit taking notes on Kali while he and Luna played. The bears wrestled with floating toys in their swimming hole, then emerged back onto land, smudging their bright white coats with mud. They chased each other around.
As Heatwole kept watch, a school kid standing nearby made his own observation.
"They're playing tag!" he shouted.
It's wonderful to see, Heatwole said. Just a month ago, the two bears were total strangers. Now, they're the best of friends.

I'm always excited about my first zucchini of the year from the garden. If you know me and how I am about garden produce, you realize that before the day's over I'll have found a new recipe and cooked the zucchini. I'll make a serious attempt not to gush and moan too much when I describe how well this Cheesy Zucchini with Garlic and Parsley turned out, but it tasted fantastic, and I got to use some of the garlic from that big jar of garlic cloves too! If you have zucchini in your garden, or nice fresh zucchini from the Farmers Market, I highly recommend trying this.
Cheesy Zucchini with Garlic and Parsley
2-3 small zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices (if zucchini are large, cut in half or fourths lengthwise, then slice)
1 T olive oil
4-6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
pinch sea salt
2 T chopped flat parsley
2 T grated Parmesan
1/4 cup grated mozzarella

you can easily install bt4 on your hard drive without dvd-rom drive, but with something like a ...usb key
First I have to say that you have a menu just behind the header of this page, with some links, one is "How To", I suggest you to try.
You can also find other informations about this question on google easily.
You will need a usb key, a valid iso of the BT4 final, and some time, but it is really simple I give you an extra keyword to play with "UNetbootin", might be usefull to your query.
As we say here "try harder", and you will get the pot.
