houstonjln

Hi, If I had a wireless g router with a standard 2db antenna , with a laptop with a wireless g adapter, how far away could I go (in feet) staying in the line of sight of the router?

what about a 7db, 14db & 15db antennas?

Please advise, and a have a merry Christmas

Answer
Imagine a light bulb. It radiates light evenly in all directions. That's an isotropic radiator. Antennas are passive devices. They don't amplify the signal. What they do is concentrate the signal power in a smaller volume. Imagine I put a mirror on one side of the light bulb. Now, one side of the mirror is dark and the other side is twice as light. We can say that the mirror is a 3 dBi antenna. 10^(3/10) = 2 Twice as much light on the lit side.

How far your antenna will reach depends on several factors. These include your input power, the cable loss between the source and your antenna, interference in the channel - meaning radio frequency (RF) noise in the atmosphere between your transmitting and receiving antennas, free space loss - which increases by the square of the distance between the transmit antenna and the receive antenna, signal to noise ratio of your source, receiver sensitivity, receive antenna gain, noise temperature of your receive system, and data rate [1]. 802.11g suffers from interference because it operates in the already crowded 2.4 GHz range. Other devices operating in this range include: microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and (in the USA) digital cordless telephones [2].

For 802.11g, nominal bit speed is 54 Mb/s, but in low signal or noisy environments the transmission speed is slowed to allow more power per bit. For successful reception, the signal power per bit has to exceed the noise power per bit. By slowing the transmission speed, each bit is transmitted longer - giving more signal power per bit. 802.11g specifies DSSS-OFDM modes with payload data rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mb/s as the signal to noise ratio decreases [3]. So, how far your antenna reaches is partly dependent on what data rate you're willing to accept.

Free space loss varies by the square of the range. See equation 5.13 in [1]. Expected range for 802.11g is 38 meters (124') indoors and up to 140 meters (459') outdoors in good RF conditions [4].

A 7 dBi antenna will give 5 dBi more than the standard 2 dBi. The math for the range is sqrt(10^(5/10)) = 1.8. The 7 dBi antenna will give you approximately 1.8 times the range of the 2 dBi.

Likewise for 14 dBi, sqrt(10^(12/10)) = 4. Approximately four times the range.

For 15 dBi, sqrt(10^(13/10)) = 4.5. Approximately four and one-half times the range.

There is a handy Radio Link Budget Calculator available online at [5]. Example numbers for the setup with the wireless router and laptop, use:

Frequency GHz: 2.4
Tx antenna diameter: .06
Tx antenna efficiency: .65 (the default)
Tx power at feed (W): .3
Range (km): .140
Bandwidth: 22000000 (the default)
Rx antenna diameter: .01
Rx antenna efficiency: 0.65 (the default)
Rx system noise temp (degrees K): 440 (the default)
Receiver sensitivity -80 (this is a pretty good wireless card)
You'll get -69 dBm at the receiver - about correct for most wireless cards.

These estimates are consistent with my experience. FWIW, I attached the antenna in [6] to my laptop via a short pigtail. Using this setup, I am able to pick up 802.11b/g access points up to about 1/2 mile away.

Also, you might consider switching to 802.11n. 802.11n uses multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) technology. Basically it shifts phase of several small antennas to digitally "steer" the waveform to improve transmission and receive range [7].

If this doesn't help, e-mail me and I can point you to more info on computing link budgets [8][9].

Do any Christians see visions in relation to the past present or future?

Ten

I will make this long situation as short as possible and easy to understand, I am a baby Christian and it is very hard to find information about these kinds of subjects, so I thought I would ask. My experience is that the closer I get to God and the more times that I am able to push through a temptation, (like cheating on my husband), the more God lets me see and feel. I am not questioning faith; I am just interested in some guidance from someone on the same level as me. I am a little confused as far as someone who has psychic abilities and a gift from God?
Getting right to it, when I am relaxed, my hands will tingle, my body feels very heavy, the feeling I get is in between kind of nervousness and relaxation, in more words I could safely call myself at a standstill and scared to know what I am about to see, but too interested to stop the vision.
I have three types of visions.

1. I see white silhouette on the back of my eyelids, and I am not asleep, I just have my eye closed, I see a lot of angels and sometimes other visions. Example, one time I was told that my son was very sick and I needed to come get him, but in my vision I seen a flash of my son, who looked healthy and was laughing, I got feelings that I was being lied to and it was true, my husband just wanted me home due to separation.


2. The second vision is almost like a cloud that opens and closed in a flash, it is a tunnel centered and does not take up a lot of space when my eyes are closed, these visions look more like dreams in the sense of animation, but I am not asleep. Example, I seen an upside down embryoâ¦.. and that was it, but a few weeks later in June of 09 I seen a prenatal monitor and these pink sheets that document the contractions, they were going by my vision a million miles a hour, and my eye lids were flickering, like when someone else is trying to put on your mascara. Then when it stopped I got up, I felt scared because this was a very powerful, dramatic and emotional filled vision.
I never told anyone, but a week or so after that vision, my sister in law was 8 months pregnant and the baby was born and passed away.


3. The third visions are kind of large and up close, also in the formation of a dream, they are very open without constrictions like my number two visions. They can go from one end of space to the next kind of like the space of a long flat screen TV. I can have them with my eyes open or closed, but when my eyes are open and God puts something in my spirit, I will look up and away, I noticed, I usually look in a corner of the roof where there is not a lot of eye stimulation. They range from when a person lies to me, to full visions like the following. Example, I was at a salon and the woman I was talking to was telling me that she was getting a divorce and how she moved on, well God had showed me that her husband loved God and was contemplating suicide because he struggled with homosexuality, I seen him as a little boy in a bathroom, with a man who was molesting him, it was so strong that this man did not want to be this way, he just needed help. I got the indication that is was ok to tell her in a gentle way, and she did confirm that she thought he might be âgayâ, and she said that he had expressed suicide and that he was molested as a child, by a man. I told her not to leave him because he might really hurt himself, and that he needed her more now than ever. I told her to tell him that sex is connected to the brain; we just know it feels good regardless of who it comes from or what it comes from, especially as children because our brains are programming themselves at that age. Some of the things I am able to tell people are unexplainable, I just say them. Anyway God is so good, because her boyfriend broke up with her and now she and the hubby are going to counseling.
God bless you all and please be gentle with the comments, I just need honesty and wisdom, I would really like to hear other peoples experienceâ¦thank you!

Answer
I read your experience with great interest. There are many Christians who have visions and dreams, and wonder if it is coming from God or somewhere else. Some say visions from God are good, while ESP is not. But I believe a lot of this is just old verbiage that needs to undergo a paradigm shift. For one thing, I believe satan is defeated, as the Bible tells us that Jesus was to "shortly" crush him under His feet almost 2000 years ago. When people give satan more power than he deserves, there is confusion and fear. The only visions or prophetic dreams I ever get are from God, or my overactive mind. satan has no power over me in this regard.

I think God speaks to us all in the unique ways that we are designed to take in information. Some are too 'logical' to consider a vision or interpret a dream, and others find it fascinating. My guess is that you live more in the "right" side of your brain, which dominates feelings, emotions and intuition.

So the wisdom I could give you would be this: Thank God for all the gifts He's bestowed on you. When you pray, offer these gifts to Him for His glory and the edification of others. Read, praise, worship and meditate on His word. I think you already know all this, but maybe just need the reassurance that others have the same experiences. I have had recurring dreams that were sent to me as a warning (that I only saw after it was too late, but at least it woke me up to pay more attention.) I've also had feelings in my hands like warmth, tingling and swirling, especially when I go to pray for someone, or hear that someone is ill. The most interesting 'supernatural' occurrence I ever had was regarding my young children, who approached me each at separate times over a week, pointing to a verse in the Bible that "Jesus wanted me to read." I think this attests to Jesus' saying that the Kingdom of heaven belongs to 'such as these,' and the need to remain childlike and trusting in order to receive from Him. God bless you on your journey, sister, and may those who you come in contact with - be blessed from His presence in you!

Best way to track my fitness with iPhone apps?

baby monitor windows 7 image

philscalis

I have a degree in exercise science and am going to school for physical therapy now and really want to track my fitness now that I have an iPhone and I know the importance of health. However, after researching apps I'm not sure the best app or app combination to use. I want to get a heart rate monitor (wahoo or polar?) and many of the apps will sync with it. I want to track calories, GPS run mapping capabilities, nutritious intake, and I want to track my strength training regimen (sets, reps, etc). The my fitness pal app seems to do some of these things and you can also tie in other apps or sync them with it. However there are so many other ones and I want to know the best way to do this if anyone can help. So far I have downloaded: my fitness pal, endomondo, fitocracy, sportstracker, runkeeper, real intelligence fitness app, and digifit icardio. If someone can help me out it would be much appreciated. I would try them out but don't want to give my info and make an account for all of these apps if they aren't what I want.

Answer
I track some of the same stuff you do, but not everything and I've tried some of the products you have, but not all. However, here's my take:

1. I use Runkeeper as my basic app. I'm primarily a runner and so are most of my friends. It links easily to facebook if you are interested in that. For me, this is how I communicate with my running community. It has some other basic cardio functions in it as well (elliptical, etc)
2. Runkeeper has a GPS function to be used with the iphone, it's generally accurate within 0.1-0.3 mile. However, when I want to be really accurate, I still default to my garmin which I can still link to my Runkeeper account. (ie, when I'm racing or want to track elevation)
3. Realize also that when you use GPS function on your phone, it will wear down the battery very quickly. I'll use the Runkeeper GPS function if I'm running or cycling an hour or less, but it's not ideal for long distances.
4. Runkeeper and probably most fitness apps will link to a heart rate monitor. However, I'd first ask why you intend to use one? As a PT, myself, I've come to the realization that unless you have a medical condition that warrants it, tracking heart rate is overly burdensome for little pay off. Just used your rate of Rate of Perceived Exertion. Whether you are doing intervals or tempo workouts, it's your exertional effort that's the real issue. Most of the established "guidelines" for heart rate during exercise were established for patients recovering from cardiac events, not necessarily for healthy adult fitness. So, unless you want to get into research about cardiac effort, I'd say don't bother. I suppose you can use it if you want to get a MORE accurate idea of your caloric burn, but I have better options for that (more later). I DIDN"T use one for years, mostly because I take a beta blocker which throws the whole target heart rate out the window anyway. I'm using one now (more on that in a minute) only because I'm pregnant and NEED to make sure my heart rate doesn't go over a certain amount (and I have arguements about that anyway). I use the iphone app with it, but haven't linked it to my RK. It does record it on the wahoo site, but I never go back and look at it. The wahoo site also does GPS and if you get the hardware, you can link it with your bike or a foot pod.
5. If you do want to use a HR monitor, I use the wahoo. My husband and I both have Garmin 910XT's and even though he got the heart rate monitor for it, he's happier with the wahoo. Again, he's not even using it anymore and I am. However, I don't even bother logging my heart rate...I use it only as a warning system. I do think I can link it with RK, but haven't bothered. Once I have the baby, I'll stop using it. Not sure why hubby doesn't like the garmin monitor...I just took his word for it.
6. Now, onto strength. RK doesn't really have a place to log this. I used MapMyRun for awhile which at least gave me an idea of how long I was weight lifting and an approximation of calories. In my opinion, if you are looking for an app that does everything, I'd say be prepared for a really complicated app. I found that the more features it has, the less user friendly it becomes. This is how I felt about MMR. For strength training, I'd consider a separate app. Same thing goes for nutrition. There are probably apps out there designed just for that which are much more user friendly.
7. Back to calorie counting. All the apps give you a basic ESTIMATION of your calories burned based on your weight and work out parameters. Even if you are using a heart rate monitor, again, this is only an ESTIMATE. Unless you are in a lab, all these tools provide estimates only. However, if you really want to know what your body is using and burning, I'd recommend the Body Media System. It's about as accurate as you can get with calorie count without having to be in a lab. The web app also has a nutritional log.


So here's my take in a nutshell:
1. Use a basic app for your cardio. Runkeeper is my personal favorite. Only use the GPS for shorter workouts
2. Use a separate GPS (I've only used garmins) if you want to be really accurate with your distance or if you are doing a long work out and simply sync it to your cardio app (like RK) from the garmin site.
3. Don't bother with a HR monitor unless you have a medical reason to do so
4. Use a separate app for your weight lifting and nutrition.
5. Consider a body media system if you REALLY want an accurate calorie count. It's expensive new, but I got a Core basic system used on ebay for $32. (myself, I'm content using the basic estimates from my cardio app).

Maybe there's an app that does everything, but I find that it gets too complicated....I don't want to spend 30 minutes logging my info.

What is "NT Kernal & System" in my resource monitor?

perryinjax

Windows 7 resource monitor shows something running called this.. it is not using much resource or cpu and everything seems to be fine. I am just curious as to what it does and what is it for?

Answer
In 'baby talk'... it handles all of the communications between the software and hardware in your system.
You'll find it runs high at startup and should reduce once everything is 'talking' to each other.

If you find it's using a lot of resources all the time, you may have a problem. Other than that, it's vital to your system âº

What did you do or what are you currently doing?

best baby monitor large house image

Christi

Did you/do you use a baby monitor with the baby in the other room at night...or did/does your baby sleep in your room?

Do you think any either of those are a bad choice?

Answer
My son slept in our room with us until he was reliably sleeping through the night. After that we moved him into his own room across the hall. I wanted to keep him as close to me as possible when he was waking up often at night so that I wouldn't have to walk as far to get him and put him back to bed. Lazy, I know, but practical. He slept in his bassinet at the foot of my bed, which meant I didn't even have to get out of bed to tend to him. I just don't see any joy in getting out of bed, walking around the house, getting baby, putting baby back, and walking back to bed when you have to do it several times a night.

We moved him into his own room across the hall, left both doors open, and I made certain the baby monitor was positioned close to my head so that I would hear him. I don't know what I was thinking, but we didn't need the baby monitor at all. I mean, he was only 20-30 feet away with both doors open. When he cried, I heard him. Even in our larger home now, I can hear him cry across the house with both of our bedroom doors shut.

No, I don't think either choices are inherently bad. I do think that co-sleeping, done properly, is the safest option for a newborn since it prevents SIDS. It also helps babies sleep better.

Is it advisable to have a residential house near a landfill?

Leda Fox

we intend to procure a house which is located 1 mile from a landfill in Merano, Rancho Valencia, Tucson, Arizona.Are there disadvantages in living near a landfill? Particularly to health concerns?

Answer
The U.S. population produced more than 236 million tons of garbage in 2003 (about 4.5 pounds of waste per person per day, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)). All of this waste gets put into landfills, which are decreasing in numbers (from 8,000 in 1988 to 1,767 in 2002) but gaining in size.



Landfills produce leachate, a toxic liquid squeezed out of the garbage that contains a slew of chemicals.

Today's landfills are significantly bigger than they were just two decades ago, and increasing numbers are reaching full capacity. When a landfill is full, it gets capped and usually planted with grass, the end result looking like a large, grassy hill, with small chimneys to releases gasses. A closed landfill does not look particularly threatening, but evidence is pouring in that there's more going on than meets the eye.

How Landfills Work

Trash is compacted into tight blocks called cells before being deposited in the landfill. It's then covered with multiple layers, including a thick covering of soil, at the end of each day. Once the landfill reaches capacity, it's covered with a plastic material, then soil and grass.

"Most U.S. landfills are called dry tombs," says Steve Wall of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). "Ideally, landfills are carefully engineered and monitored systems that keep household garbage dry so they don't contaminate surrounding water or air."

Safeguards are in place to keep toxins in the landfill, and out of surrounding communities, however, "people are concerned because trash inside lasts for generations," Wall says.

Landfills Leak Toxins

Landfills produce significant amounts of methane gas, along with leachate, a toxic liquid that comes out of all that compressed trash. Leachate is full of organic and inorganic pollutants, including toluene, phenols, benzene, ammonia, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides, heavy metals and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Landfills often have pipes designed to route and collect leachate to keep it from contaminating ground water (which can become your tap water). However, even the best collection systems and landfill liners inevitably deteriorate and leak, according to the EPA:

"No liner ... can keep all liquids out of the ground for all time. Eventually liners will either degrade, tear, or crack and will allow liquids to migrate out of the unit. Some have argued that liners are devices that provide a perpetual seal against any migration from a waste management unit. EPA has concluded that the more reasonable assumption, based on what is known about the pressures placed on liners over time, is that any liner will begin to leak eventually."

If and when a landfill does leak, toxins are allowed to escape directly into the environment, where they can contaminate air, water and soil.

Health Risks Linked to Landfills



If you have a choice, it's probably best to locate your home at least two miles from a landfill.

Studies have shown possible increased risks of certain types of cancer, including bladder, brain and leukemia, among people who live near landfills.

Further, a study by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine also found that babies born to mothers who live near landfills have a greater risk of birth defects.

"There was a significantly overall increased risk of neural-tube defects, malformations of the cardiac septa (hole-in-the-heart), and malformations of the great arteries and veins in residents near the landfill sites in our study," the researchers said.

And, a recent study found that living near a landfill could expose residents to chemicals that can reduce immune system function and lead to an increased risk of infections.

As opposed to children living in clean areas, the study found that "children living near to waste sites, whether landfills or contaminated bodies of water, are hospitalized more frequently with acute respiratory infections, said Dr. David O. Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment, at the State University of New York at Albany. Children living near waste sites also had increased rates of hospitalization for asthma.

Carpenter said the extent to which toxic landfill contaminants suppress the immune system has been "underestimated."

"While our specific study focused on air transport of the contaminants, they are also in our food," Carpenter said, "and the effect of exposure should not be different whether it is via food or air. So we really need to get these chemicals out of our environment to the greatest degree possible."

Ideally, we would all live in pristine environments, free from pollution of all kinds. Realistically, it may be worthwhile to avoid living near landfills, if you have a choice. If you don't, try to stay more than two miles away, as the health effects, at least in the birth defects study, lessened beyond this point.

Why do some women have so much trouble conceiving?

best baby monitor for triplets image

Q. I just want to know, what are the main causes of infertility in females besides age? Why do some women have such problems conceiving?
I wasn't even trying to get pregnant and wasn't even thinking about babies at all and I became pregnant with triplets, although they're identical. My girls are beautiful and lovely but they're 15 now.

Answer
Many other conditions besides age can cause infertility or pregnancy delay in women. It can be as complex as a uterine or ovarian defect such as PCOS or as simple as too much caffeine in your diet. For me, it was timing. I thought that I ovulated on a certain date but it turned out (with the help of a Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor) that I was way off and after trying to conceive for 2 whole years (25 months to be exact) after a miscarriage, we used that monitor for 1 month and got pregnant right away. For some women it is more complex. I have a friend who was raped as a child and had so much internal tearing that the Dr.'s said she would never conceive and that it was best to not even try. Well she did because that is what she desired. It took her 12 years but she got her little one. For other women it may be as simple as a diet change or weight loss. Many many factors affect fertility and it is hard to pinpoint each case. All I know is women with infertility are some of the strongest I have ever encountered and I am so blessed to have dealt with infertility and came out victorious. Now I have a beautiful testimony that I will meet on November 1st!

What are the chances of having twins when you go through artificial insemination?

Scarol

And what form of egg fertilization is more likely to make you have more than one child at a time?

Answer
I just wanted to clear up some misinformation that Doodlestuff gave you and clear up a few things so she is not misinformed any longer. Number one, IVF is not artificial insemination (AI). AI is when sperm is placed into the cervix or the uterus. With IVF, you are stimulated, eggs are collected, fertilized with sperm, and they are transferred back to you. And, according to SART - Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology who collects data from clinics in the USA (who transfers it directly to CDC) regarding IVF pregnancy rates, failed cycles, and live births, the twin birth rate is 25% and the triplet birth rate is 1.4%. Far from 1/3. With clinics that follow the strict SART guidelines, IVF twin rates decreased to 20.3%. Unfortunately the RARE clinic like the one Octomom went to did not follow the guidelines and altered those rates. With IVF you have more control than medicated AI cycles and so the multiple rate is lower. The ASRM guidelines do not recommend transferring one embryo. It is no more than two depending on a number of factors including age, prognosis, embryo quality etc. And, with one embryo transferred back to you there is a statistically significant reduction in the likelihood of live birth. Ironically enough, transferring more than one does not greatly increase your chance of multiples but does increase your odds of conception. You are more than twice as likely to give birth when having two embryos transferred than opting for a single embryo transfer. When you have been through the ringer with fertility treatments and have to dig deep in your pockets to pay $10,000+ for an IVF cycle, you will want to do anything possible to increase your odds of success.

AI does not increase the chance of multiples unless the woman has been given drugs to stimulate her ovaries. Many will monitor her ovulation and once she is close to ovulation will get inseminated with sperm. With stimulated AI cycles such as IUI, the rate of multiple gestation pregnancies is close to 30%. So with AI, your chances of conceiving multiples is higher. Some women with medicated AI cycles produce more follicles than her doctor wanted. If the women does this, the cycle is often canceled as not to risk a high order multiple (HOM) pregnancy. But, in some cases, the couple ignores their doctor's advice not to have intercourse. Jon and Kate Gosslin are an example of that. One thing to mention, if you did conceive multiples it does not necessarily mean you will carry them to term. I conceived twins via IVF after transferring 2 embryos (My other IVF attempts I did the same and only conceived a singleton twice). I lost both.

Women going through IVF today face a much lower risk of a multiple pregnancy. Most clinics, when possible, do a 5 day blastocyst transfer and transfer no more than two.

Do know that the goal of ALL fertility treatments is one baby and most doctors strive to reach that goal. Multiple pregnancies and births are risky, to the children and the mother.

How do I use an old router as a wireless adapter?

baby monitor video quality image

Nathan

We recently moved, and our desktop PC is in a room that doesn't have any access for the internet, and the closest connections we have are on the other sides of the house. Is there a way i can use an old router as an adapter of sorts on my desktop so i dont have to run a LAN connection all the way across the house or pay for an adapter?

Answer
Depending on the router model, you might be able to configure it as a wireless bridge, http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57529336-285/reuse-an-old-router-to-bridge-devices-to-your-wireless-network/ but for the bother, power consumption, performance, etc. You would be better served with an inexpensive USB WiFi adapter.

It is easy to add WiFi to a desktop. You can get a wireless adapter for your desktop PC, they are very inexpensive. Many are under 10 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=excharge-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=wireless%20adapter%20for%20desktop&url=search-alias%3Daps&sprefix=wireless%20a%2Caps%2C377 There are two types, the easiest is a USB that just plugs in, the other is a card that involves opening the PC and installing in a card slot.

Unless you specifically need a wireless connection, I would not recommend it especially for a fixed device such as a desktop PC.

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.

Wireless connection quality also varies and there is overhead involved in the transfer such as the encryption and decryption of the data used for wireless security.

You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

For serious gaming or video streaming your best bet is a direct Ethernet connection. Ethernet is unaffected by wireless interference and will give you a rock solid, stable network connection.

If it is not feasible to run Ethernet cable your next best option is to use powerline network adapters. I wrote a review here: http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-adapter/

Good Luck...

How do you send internet to other devices, using a computer?

Vanessa

We get internet in one spot in our house with our computer, but I would like to know if there is a way to send it the internet to other devices like home theater systems, and i-pods from the one computer.

Answer
It is possible, however often not cost effective or the best solution.

There are methods such as Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). You can set up ICS on a PC with a Internet connection and connect it to another PC or other device. This requires two network cards in the first PC. The Internet connection can be Ethernet or WiFi. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/using-ics-internet-connection-sharing. This method also requires the first PC to be active any time you need to access the Internet on the second PC.

The best solution for your application is to just add a wireless router. http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=wireless%20router&url=search-alias%3Daps&sprefix=wireless%20ro%2Caps%2C490&tag=excharge-20
This is a efficient way to share a single Internet connection with multiple devices. The router can connect to your devices via Ethernet cables or using WiFi (wireless) connections.

Many people would be likely be surprised at how many active connections their wireless router has. I have dozens. Cell phones, tablets, iPods, game consoles, laptops, desktops, ROKU boxes, Internet enabled devices such as TVs and audio receivers, and the list goes on.

That being said,

Go here http://speedtest.net and test your Internet connection speed.

This is your Internet speed. No wireless router, or connection method can make it any faster.

If you are going to have multiple users or simultaneous devices such s ROKU boxes to do HD streaming such as Netflix, then you'll want a minimum of 10 Mbps or faster.

Your Internet bandwidth is shared among all of the users of your LAN. So any bandwidth others are using will be deducted from the total WAN (Internet) bandwidth that is available to you.

In simple terms, the more users you have the more speed will be required. Streaming video, such as Netflix and Hulu require a lot of bandwidth. Here are the minimum recommendations from Netflix. https://support.netflix.com/en/node/306

The only way to Improve your Internet speed is to upgrade your plan or switch to a faster ISP.

WIRELESS ROUTERS:
Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.

All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated. The WLAN connection may start at 150 Mbps and end up at less than 10 Mbps or drop entirely.

2.4 GHz WiFi connections also experience interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones which interfere with the 2.4 GHz band.

Dual band routers have multiple wireless radios enabling broadcast on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously. Using the 5 GHz band cuts down on interference from cordless phones and microwave ovens.. Not all devices can use the 5 GHz frequency. Many laptops and other devices only operate at 2.4 GHz. Thus the need for dual band routers.

You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

Your best bet is always a direct Ethernet connection. Ethernet is unaffected by wireless interference and will give you a rock solid, stable network connection.

If it is not feasible to run Ethernet cable the next best option would be a set of powerline network adapters http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-adapter/

You plug one in by your router and one in the room where you need access and connect them to the devices with standard Ethernet patch cables. The network signals are transmitted over your existing home electrical wiring which will not be affected by wireless interference. There is still overhead in the connection but it is much more stable than WiFi.

Good Luck...

Are there any video baby monitors that actually work and are worth the money?

best baby monitor reviews video image

I havent read any good reviews yet.. please let me know.
Thanks

Answer
http://www.target.com/Summer-Infant-Babys-Sounds-Monitor/dp/B000B6MKTC/sr=1-4/qid=1199901741/ref=sr_1_4/602-8858426-5972664?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Ababy%20monitors&page=1

We have this one above and loved it. You can't put a cell phone next to it or does that buzzing thing, but it picks up the babies noises down to breathing softly.
I liked that I could turn the monitor off, and the sound down and the lights would flash if she was making some noise..then I could either turn the monitor on or the sound and decide if I needed to go in there.

Even with the buzzing once in a while it was great.

Has anyone used a video baby monitor?

What are the pros and cons?

Answer
Congrats on baby #2!

I couldn't live with out my video monitor!! I have the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor. The picture is so clear both at night and during the day. I love being able to check on my baby with out waking her. I don't even have to get out of bed unless she really needs me! I think if I only had the audio, I would have been getting up a lot more often to investigate every sound, especially during the first few months. The handheld part has a button on top so you can turn off the video screen if the light bothers you at night. Then if you hear something you feel you need to check on, simply click the button and the video comes back on. I read the reviews for this product. Many people say they could not get a signal. I never had a problem. I also read that they can interfere with wi-fi. My husband is a web developer... he never would have allowed wi-fi interference!

I highly recommend this monitor to all my friends. The only con I can think of is that I have had to change the channel due to static. Seriously, it's a flick of a button and I've had to do it maybe 3 times in 7 months. No biggie! I know you can get an extra camera for this monitor, but I don't need one yet. Here is what one person commented: "We bought a second camera to go with the monitor we already had. I love being able to switch back and forth between my two kids' rooms. Only issue is if the monitor is too close to one camera, you can have interference when trying to check on the other one."

How to make old iphone 3g as Home Spy Camera?

best baby monitor 3g image

Trueme

I have two iPhones, the old iPhone 3g and the new iPhone 4s. now i wanted to use my old iphone 3g (iOs version updated) as a Home Spy Camera and wanted to watch my kids at home live stream to my new iPhone 4s while im at work. i also got my Home Wifi network. is there any best iphone application out there for this matter? or is it possible to use my Home IP address to use and access it for this concept?

Answer
There are many training videos telling us how to make iphone as home spy camera on line.
Um...I've found two:
1. http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-use-iphone-as-spy-camera-423938/
2. http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-make-iphone-secret-spy-camera-423940/
The second video looks like very easy to access, but I don't know if it is useful for you.

If these two ways are not fit, I suggest you to buy a Baby Monitor or Home Spy Camera. You can visit this online store:
http://www.accessbuy.com/wholesale-Baby-Monitor_120.html
http://www.accessbuy.com/wholesale-IP-Camera_113.html
It's a wholesaler, so its price is very low.

why won't my phone pick up the wifi at my house anymore?

Tirzah

all of the sudden my iphone 4s acts like there is no wifi connection at my house. when i first get home it works for a while, then shuts off, and turns on for a minute, and then stays off. i've tried resetting the network settings and it's not the internet because i'm on my laptop right now. i tried shutting my phone off and on. this is really frustrating because i get zero cell phone service, so i can't just use 3G. I really need help. please & thank you!

Answer
Wants to tell you that the Wireless signals are effected by by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc. Your latency (ping) may be 30 ms and wireless interference could cause it to spike to 200 ms or more. Must be you use to sit far away from you wireless router.

For this the solution is that you should try to centrally locate your wireless router gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

How do I get rid of these spirits?

baby monitor buying guide image

lexi Henso

Over the past 5-7 months, MANY spirits have been haunting my little sister. Bit marks appear on her in the morning, she doesn't like to go in her room, and often talks to a 'wall' as if someone is there. Recently, we inserted a baby monitor to see what happened. I can look in the monitor and see faces and body's in the crib. How can I get rid of these spirits? HELP! (There is also an adult.)
Also, there are orbs flying everywhere, faces and body's appear on the carpet [They CHANGE facial expressions.], walls, and even look at you.

Answer
This is no joke an evil spirit is harming your sister. You need a Priest who is strong in faith for this. To deliver her, protect her and cleanse her. DO NOT try and get rid of it (them) by yourself, they are intelligent beings and do not have any kind of morals. You also need a house cleansing and a house blessing but get a Priest first to get rid of the demon and its friends, he will also guide you with the cleansing and blessing. All you said above is classic demon activity. Call this Warrior Priest who is also a demonologist RIGHT NOW.

How often to orphaned kittens need to be fed?

Kitty Mom

A feral cat had a litter of kittens on my patio & then left them. I watched for hours & she never came back. I started bottle feeding them. I continued to watch for mom, but have never seen her again. The kittens are only a few days old. They were with the mom for only about 20 hours after birth. I bought the kitten milk replacement & they have eaten well from the beginning. They are eating 2 teaps. each time. They weigh about 5-6 oz each. They only wake up to eat about every 5-6 hours. When they are awake, they are very full of energy and even try to crawl out of the box. They seem very healthy.
My question is how long can they go during the day between feedings. I am gone to work for 8 hours. If I come home and feed them once during the day (although it will take me 30 minutes each way to make the trip) will that be enough? I haven't been able to find any other people to help me feed them during the day.

Answer
Well for starters a healthy kitten will gain weight rapidly after birth, usually doubling their weight after one week. They should gain approx. half an ounce each day. A kitten that loses weight should be closely monitored. Get yourself a postal scale to keep track of each kitten and make a chart. An average weight for kittens 5 days old are 3-7 oz, 10 days is 4.5 - 9.5 oz, 15 days is 6 - 11oz and so on.

FEEDING CHART:
For kittens 1 week...32cc's 6 times a day
2 weeks old....56cc's 4 times a day
3 weeks old...80cc's 3 times a day
4 weeks old...104cc's 3 times a day
5 weeks old...128cc's 3 times a day

Don't forget that kittens need to stay VERY warm. Fill a hot water bottle and place it under a towel and lay the kittens on top.
You must also make them go to the bathroom. Kittens that young cannot go on their own....wet a cotton ball with luke warm water and massage their genital area. They also need to burp after each feeding, just like a baby. You can do this by slightly patting their back or rubbing their bellies.
There is a GREAT book. You should go to your local book store and get it. It really helped me when I hand raised my kittens. It's called THE GUIDE TO HAND RAISING KITTENS BY SUSAN EASTERLY.

I have a horrible credit score a need a vehicle STAT?

baby monitor gps image

Q. I have a ten month old baby boy and staying home is not an option anymore. How can i obtain a car quick with a credit score less then 400?
what is buy here pay here? can someone explain the details? and Im not worried about getting screwed in the interest rates. Thats fine, as long as my son is safe.

Answer
A "buy here, pay here" lot is one of these mom-n-pop small lots you see everywhere, with "We finance" and "no credit needed" signs posted on their property.

Expect Draconian terms on the loan, meaning they'll repo the car if you are even a day late. Expect them to put a GPS-like device somewhere on the car, so they can monitor its whereabouts if you skip payments and they need to find it. Also, expect them to install a ignition-kill device that uses a code to start the car. How do you get the monthly code? Yep, by making the payment.

Now, they may or may not have all devices installed, but don't be surprised.

They will have marginal-quality cars, usually domestic sedans that they can get at auction cheaply and resell (Neons, Cobalts, Tauruses, Stratus, etc.). These cars will be very overpriced, usually the down payment they require will cover their investment in the vehicle.

BEFORE you agree to "buy" the car, make sure they'll let you take it to a licensed mechanic (spend about $50 or so) to check over thoroughly.

Lastly, make sure you read and understand the finance contract you will sign. You need to know these things:

1) What happens if your car is repo'd... are you responsible for the remainder of the loan? Is your car auctioned? Or do they just resell your car and "blacklist" you?
2) Interest costs over the life of the loan.
3) Prepayment penalties if you come across a windfall of cash and decide to pay the loan off early.
4) Warranty coverage. You need it in writing, you need to understand it. If there is no warranty, the car is "as-is" and you are on the hook for repairs.
5) Do they report to credit agencies? Some do, some don't bother. If they do, it can help your score.

what do you think of slavery in 2010?

Bitter Harvest

Slavery isn't history - and we're reaping its fruit


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Kimberly French
You, in all likelihood, own items that were produced by slaves:
Chocolate. Hand-woven carpets. Cotton. Coffee. Tea. Tobacco. Sugar. Tomatoes. Cucumbers. Oranges. Grains. Clothing. Sneakers. Soccer balls. Gold. Diamonds. Jewelry. Fireworks. Steel. Glassware. Charcoal. Timber. Stone. Tantalum (a mineral used in laptops, pagers, personal digital assistants, and cell phones). Products in all of these industries have been found made with slave labor, then sold in the global market.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More items that you consume every day are tainted by slavery in less direct ways. âYour computer terminal may be made in Japan, but that company may reward executives with sex tours of enslaved prostitutes in Southeast Asia,â says Barney Freiberg-Dale, founder of Unitarian Universalists Against Slavery, one of several Unitarian Universalist groups working to fight modern slavery.

All of us who are lucky enough to be housed, clothed, and fed every day benefit from prices kept low by slave labor. Global companies we invest in, or whose stocks are part of our mutual or pension funds, provide higher returns because they buy from suppliers that pay workers very littleâor not at all.

As participants in the world's largest consumer economy, with its drive for lower and lower prices, we contribute to the global economic pressure for slave labor. We are all complicit.

But didn't slavery end in the nineteenth century?

Many of today's new abolitionists admit to having held that same assumption, until a news story or pamphlet or lecture shocked them out of it.

Or you may have thought the reports of human trafficking that periodically make the newsâsuch as sex slavery rings or forced migrant farm workâwere isolated cases, somewhere far from you. I did.

The truth is that slavery exists in virtually every country of the world and in almost every U.S. state, according to human rights organizations, scholars, government agencies, and journalists. A growing antislavery movement has been hard at work documenting and exposing this troubling fact. Surveying their reports and interviewing antislavery spokespeople is eye-opening, answering not only my question about the nineteenth-century âendâ of slavery but raising other questions as well.

In fact, legal slavery did end. Slavery is illegal in every country of the world. Nonetheless there are more slaves today than ever before: 27 million, twice as many as the number of Africans enslaved during the four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade, according to a calculation that slavery expert Kevin Bales calls conservative. Bales, a sociologist at Roehampton University in London who spoke at the UUA's 2003 General Assembly, estimates that 50,000 people are forced to work as slaves in the United States today.

How can this be? If slavery is illegal everywhere, how can there be slaves, and in such numbers?

In the United States our image of slavery is defined by our own horrific history. The antebellum slavery that was practiced here is called chattel slavery, meaning one person is owned completely by another and can be inherited as property.

Today's slavery is different. Simply put, slavery is one person forcing another to work without pay, using the threat of violence or psychological manipulation. Ownership no longer defines slavery.

When slaves could be legally owned, when buying slaves required a substantial financial investment, there was an incentive for owners to take care of their âproperty

Answer
I have another question pertaining to slavery-when one person works and gives a big portion of their earnings to support someone who is NOT working-refuses to work-and does nothing but take and take and take-and make more and more babies that we continue to have to pay for. (because we all know that the more babies you have here in America-the more money you get in a monthly check-or through HUD and Section 8-or medicaid-or food stamps-and thats a fact!! Selling babies is illegal but having more and more to gain financially is perfectly fine) Is this not also slavery??? YES this is also slavery- and please do not tell me we "owe" this-This is the biggest and most rediculous form of slavery-and its legal!!!!!!!

What do I do when my baby can't fall asleep because his pacifier keeps falling out?

best baby listening monitor image

JustRock

The dreaded pacifier addiction. My baby (almost 3 months old) will lay down fine to go to sleep; if his pacifier is in his mouth. The problem comes when it falls out, then he starts to fuss then cry. We have to constantly go into his room to put it back in, then he will relax again and start to doze off, then it falls out again...etc. When will this stop? What can I do to get him to sleep without the pacifier? Help - his bedroom is upstairs!

Answer
My daughter does the same thing, but it is slowly getting better. Does your baby suck on his hand/fingers? We have been encouraging that so she can self-soothe a little. I try not to give it to her as much during the day, and I don't give it to her when she goes to sleep if I can (she usually nurses to sleep which probably isn't better). You can do the cry it out, but I'm trying to slowly wean her off it. Don't listen to the people who say she's to young to be by herself. No one in my family or among my friends has done co-sleeping and everyone turned out fine (including me and my three brothers). It's great for people who want to, but not necessary. That's what baby monitors were invented for.

what does it mean when the doctor hears an echo while externally monitoring the fetal heartrate?

Angel

Went to my OBs office for my appointment. I'm at 27 weeks and the midwife was using the external monitor to listen to the baby's heartbeat and she was having a hard time finding a spot that was steady because the baby was moving like crazy. She said she kept getting an echo. I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow and because of having to reschedule a few times this will be my first one. I'm just wondering if it's possible that I'm carrying twins and that the echo she was hearing was a second heartbeat. I have felt a lot of movement with this pregnancy, more so than with my entire pregnancy with my first child.

Answer
Your midwife should have detected 2 seperate heartbeats if you were carrying twins. Some fetuses are just alot more active than others. My son was active so much I thought I was carrying twins as well, but it's normal. The echo is a sound in the uterus (hard to tell what sound exactly it was), perfectly normal. See what the ultrasound technician tells you and go from there. Good luck.

What can I use to transmit noise?

baby monitor app iphone image

Spar

Well long story short, I'm scaring my friend. She's my neighbor and I live in the house next to her. Basically I need something that can make noises and can be controlled from another place. I considered a baby monitor (too expensive), or some kind of walkie talkie (probably not loud enough). If there is an app or something I have an iPad or iPod touch I could leave there. There is wifi there and the house next door is within less than 10 yards away so if its some kind of radio, i can here it.
@zachary I would leave it in her closet or attic since her roommate is in on it she could help and make sure she wouldn't break it

Answer
I wouldn't leave an iPhone/Pad outside... If you have a friend or something that you can borrow a home theater system from, you could put one of the speakers outside facing the other house and control the volume and sounds from inside with the amplifier.

Which food give my 2year old baby boy?

Kamran

Answer
Bless his little tummy :) Serve foods that are packed with the nutrients he needs to grow healthy and strong, and limit the sweets as much as possible.

I continue to introduce new flavors and textures to my 2 year old daughter to help her develop a taste for healthy foods. She loves all types of fruits and most vegetables.

Here are some of the things she loves:

*Breakfast: Cup of a healthy Whole Grain Cereals mixed with sliced strawberries, blueberries or bananas.
*Lunch: Vegetable soup with a piece of whole-wheat bread (she specially loves broccoli cheddar soup), baked chicken with a side of cooked carrots & mashed potatoes, or brown rice with a medley of green vegetables are a few of her favorites.
*Dinner: Whole-wheat pasta with mozzarella cheese and zucchini.

Remember, as you continue to introduce various types of nuts to your son, it is important to watch closely for any potential allergies. I would also suggest you download our free app, as food recalls are unfortunate common events that can have serious consequences on your child.

Features of the Recalls Plus App include:
â¢Proactively delivers timely recall alerts for the items on your Personal Watch List (a personalized list of the brands and products that you wish to monitor)
â¢Hand curates every product and food recall directly from government agencies (CPSC, NHTSA, FDA, USDA) for relevance to children and consolidates them in one place
â¢Provides parents a simple, easy-to-use solution to track recall information and instantly share it with family and friends.

The Recalls Plus App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recalls-plus/id499200328 and can be accessed on Facebook: http://apps.facebook.com/recallsplus.

What baby monitor do you have? Are you happy with it?

baby monitor reviews image

Beth

This has been a toughie for me and hubby. The reviews on all baby monitors are very mixed, and neither brand nor price really seem to have anything to do with whether or not people like a monitor. Just wondering what you have and use, and maybe what you've used in the past. What have your experiences been like with those brands?

Answer
We picked up a used 'first years' one at a garage sale...it works fine...but our rooms are so close together at one end of the house, that we wind up just turning it off.

My sister used an 'Angelcare' one...it works fine too...

They're generally all pretty good...it just depends on whether you want 'bells and whistles' with it or not.

Answer
My stepsister was with her ex-husband sitting in a room with a baby monitor when they heard a male's voice taking on the monitor. It was saying something like, "Your gonna be a bad baby, aint you. You're gonna cry." And then her ex ran across the house into the room but no one was there. This was the same house where I saw something walk across the window as a small child. I was also waken up twice when something violently shook me. Needless to say, I won't go in that house anymore. I know it's not very Christian of me to be so superstitious, but I mean come on. That place just freaks me out.

Poll: What is your favorite TRUE ghost story?

Katierocks

plz tell it :)

Answer
l Iived in a house in NJ 20 years ago. We knew when we bought the house that the people had a baby who died of crib death - in fact I didn't use the same room for my son when he was born- I used that room as an office.
Just about everyone had some sort of experience in there- especially anyone who came to babysit at night- strange noises, cabinets opened etc.. We had a few with electronics too- TV /VCR things. But the wildest stuff came from my son who was 18 mos to 3 yrs. at the time this was happening. He would sit up at night and laugh and talk- you'd hear him playing over the monitor. and he would always say in his baby voice he wanted to play with Dee Dee- we took it to mean his blanket- and started calling his blanket DeeDee.

A few years later- after moving out of the house I ran into the guy we bought the house from at a football game. In our talk - I asked the guy if the child they had was a boy or girl. He said it was a girl - named Denise.

That still freaks me out ( and my son too) to this day...
