My boyfriend and I stayed in the meadow cabin for three nights. It was the most relaxing and fulfilling vacation I have ever had. The surrounding forest is beautiful. We had a swim in the river and laid out on the sandbar to catch some sun. We barbecued outside and sat on the porch swing. We bathed in the amazing outdoor shower. We made fires on the deck at the pond every night and saw fireflies. It rained for two full days but that just added magic to the experience. We will definitely be going back to this amazing place

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of being David's guests at Little Rive Bluffs over the New Year's weekend. We were "first timers" coming from New Orleans and stayed at the Lodge House. I cannot say enough about the property, setting, and service that Little River Bluffs has to offer. We are already planning our next trip back. The property was immaculately clean. The master bedroom was such a romantic setting, huge windows, a fireplace, and an entrance onto the balcony that wraps around to the other side of the building. We watched fireflies from our bed the first evening, and in the morning both woke with a gasp at how beautiful everything looked from our spot in the comfy bed (we'd arrived when it was dark out the night prior). David had everything ready for us, the heater on and the lights lit up for when we arrived. Following the maps provided and discovering all the little hidden trails was so much fun. We had breakfast at Tom's Point and enjoyed our peaceful view and just time to "be". We really had a weekend to just detach, sip cocoa under a patchwork quilt, and toast to the New Year in the private hot tub. We both absolutely fell in love with both the lodge house and Little River Bluffs and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for their own little piece of heave on earth.

The retreat is a magical place. As you enter the gates with the beautiful fountain and drive up to your cozy Chalet cabin, everything is serene, green and relaxing. The road to get to the cabin is a bit tricky, but don't give up. Once your there you open the doors to a cabin with a huge jacuzzi tub, glass windows that see all of nature and yummy home bread at the table. Breakfast for you to help your self for a couple days in in the refrigerator with delicious juice and well water from the land. The deck out back is great for Yoga, Tai Chi, Qui gong and Meditation. The pathways through the land will bring out the adventurous kid in you. The pond is great for kayaking too! Birds are singing in the morning. A great place to just relax and get away from all technology and stresses of life these days. A place you can be thankful for. Even though to some folks the place may be close, it still seems like it is far away....from a distant land. A place to come back to again and again.

We enjoyed our stay at LRB. The cabin is so beautiful; The sceened-in porch did not disappoint. We were able to cook all of the meals that we brougnt along with us. We also enjoyed the ride to the little village of Folsom. You must stop by Gene's country store for crawfish boudin and also Hot Tamale Mama. The gumbo and beef tamales are wonderful! Don't forget to sit out on the porch at night and enjoy the lighting bug show. David also provides some home made bread for every guest, and it is delicious. The pond is so relaxing and beautiful. The trails are well maintained if you are up for a walk. I would recommend LRB with pleasure.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you very much. We love the fact nearly 80% of our guests are "repeats" and some have retreated here many times over the years....and still keep coming! We love it.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/197,763 filed Apr. 17, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to an RFID reader and in particular to a RFID reader with a capability to read different formats of RFID tags, including Intellitag "Gamma" and ISO/AAR RFID protocols.
2. Description of Related Art
An RFID reader broadcasts RF energy over an adjustable area called a read zone or reader footprint. An RFID tag, for example on a vehicle or package, reflects a small part of the RF energy back to the antenna of the reader. The reflected radio waves modify depending upon data stored on the RFID tag. The reader detects the modified radio waves and is able to decode the unique identification code or stored data located on the RFID. The technology for reading and alternatively writing data from and into a remote RFID is described in detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,739,328; 4,782,345; 4,786,906; 4,816,839; 4,835,377; 4,853,705; 4,739,328 and 5,030,807 all hereby incorporated by reference. Previous readers have been able to read variations of the ISO/AAR protocol (International Organization for Standardization 10374.2 standard for intermodal freight containers/Association for American Railroads S-918 mandated standard for automatic equipment identification). A newer form of RFID tag utilizes "Gamma" technology. Representative of this form of RFID format is the Intellitag 500. In contrast with previous ISO/AAR formats the Intellitag 500 for Gamma technology RFID utilizes a differently modulated RF signal created by driving series RF mixers in the RF source section of the RFID reader transmitter. The Intellitag 500 format RFID being easier and cheaper to manufacture, it is expected to have an increasing market share. However, a large number of existing ISO/AAR format RFIDs are already in use.
Therefore, it is object of the present invention to create an RFID reader capable of reading both ISO/AAR format and Intellitag 500 (Gamma) RFIDs.
The present invention has the capability of reading Intellitag 500 and existing ISO/AAR format RFIDs. To create a modulated signal for use with both the ISO/AAR and Intellitag 500 RFID Protocols, RF mixers in series in the RF source section are used. The modulation data string is controlled by logic signals eminating from a digital signal processor. In the Receiving portion of the RF/preamplifier module, a preamplifier has variable gain controlled by the processor in response to the amplitude of incoming data. A PLL synthesizer is under the control of the digital signal processor which also monitors for error conditions to determine whether or not the PLL has "lost lock". A variety of options are integrateable into the device via a user configurable FLASH memory.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The antenna may be a linearly polarized four patch circular array. The antenna is interconnected with the homodyne in the RF/preamp block. The homodyne mixes a portion of the outgoing transmitter signal with the incoming tag signal resulting in a direct conversion of the tag signal to baseband.
Diodes in the homodyne are spaced to provide constant tag signal data. Received signals are transmitted from the homodyne to the preamplifier. The preamplifier utilizes a two-channel amplifier (1 channel and Q channels), that provides for filtering and amplification of the received tag signal. The tag signal is amplified by approximately 60 dB and is filtered to insure maximum signal fidelity for the Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
The gain of the amplifier is variable and may be controlled by the processor in response to the amplitude of the incoming data. The transmitter portion of the RF/preamplifier is a RF source. The RF source utilizes a single phase-lock-loop (PLL) frequency source connected to a series of amplifiers. The PLL synthesizer chip is programmable under the control of the DSP. The DSP monitors for error conditions to determine if the PLL has "lost lock". If a "lost lock" occurs, the RF output is turned off by the DSP. At full power, the output power of the RF source may be approximately 2 watts. The output power of the RF source being programmable by the DSP.
The DSP module includes a digital signal processor for decoding of data, communications interfacing, application operation, I/O sensing transmission and overall device control. The DSP also controls the RF module as described herein above. The DSP contains both serial EEPROM and FLASH memory. The serial EEPROM is used for storing permanent parameters while the FLASH memory holds application software as well as a UART with built in FIFO. The DSP is designed to address up to 64K of external data and up to 64K of external program memory. The DSP controller may use a 16-bit address bus to access external RAM, FLASH memory and memory mapped I/O ports.
A boot code is stored in the top page of FLASH memory. The boot code is 16 bits wide and is used for facilitating systems startup and supplies utilities to erase and program new application code from the serial port while connected to a host computer. The boot code is also responsible for moving FLASH application code to RAM for execution. Application code is stored in the same FLASH memory as the boot code. During normal operation this memory area is read only application program space. The application code may be erased and reprogrammed with new application code. To reprogram the application code, program control is transferred to the boot code. The boot code determines if a valid application is present and if not will go into a download mode. While in download mode, the boot code may issue erase and program commands by writing to the FLASH memory.
The device's read range may be adjusted by the user in two separate ways. The first method is via adjustment of valid data threshold levels set in software, thus varying the read range of the system. A user, using host software, has the capability to modify the data threshold level. The range adjustment is accomplished by increasing or decreasing the effective receiver sensitivity by changing the window of the valid A/D samples that are used when decoding tag data. The second method for adjusting the read range of the reader is by varying the RF power output by the reader. The user may decrease the RF output power up to 10 dB from a full power setting.
The mechanical configuration of the device is such that the unit may utilize the housing of the previous generation of RFID readers. The housing is composed of two halves, the radome and base elements which are mirror images of each other The two halves snap together producing a structurally sound package of minimum materials cost. The housing may be formed from, for example, polycarbonate material. Internal hardware utilizes direct connections to reduce costs, assembly time and improve reliability.
The present invention is entitled to a range of equivalence, and is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims.

Fabulously wealthy Gramps dies, and it's time to read the will.
The money-grubbers who share his DNA gather expectantly to hear how many of granddad's hard-earned millions will pour into their trust funds.
But Red Stevens (James Garner) knew what lazy good-for-nothing layabouts his family members are, so they get zip.
The laziest of the family lot is grandson Jason (Drew Fuller). You know he's a jerk because he comes late to his grandfather's funeral, pulling up to the graveside service in his loud sports car. And he's wearing sunglasses.
But Jason is in for a surprise. His inheritance is a DVD of his departed grandfather cryptically imparting wisdom - and a series of tasks overseen by Red's lawyer (Bill Cobbs) and assistant (Lee Meriwether) - before Jason gets his gift.
"The Ultimate Gift," a Fox Faith production, is based on the inspirational book of the same name by Jim Stovall, and features a fairly good cast hamstrung by a dull, predictable script that cribs from just about every book in the self-help section of your neighborhood bookstore.
Abigail Breslin, so winsome and endearing in "Little Miss Sunshine," has the thankless part of the wisecracking moppet destined to bring together her single and poor mother (Ali Hillis) and Jason, who, among other challenges, has never discovered the wonders of mass transit.
Of course, Jason must learn money doesn't buy you happiness, but only after he becomes homeless. He must learn the value of hard work, but only after a rancher (Brian Dennehy) friend of his grandfather's makes him build a really long fence. He must learn it's better to give than receive, that you learn by reading books, that true friends don't care how wealthy you are.
Sound familiar? Aesop already covered this territory in his fables.
There's nothing wrong with where "The Ultimate Gift" winds up; the movie's heart is in the right place. It's just that the route it travels to get there is so dull and unsurprising that you just want the trip to be over with.

Architecture student Sarah Kimble named as a finalist in national furniture design competition
Jul 2, 2015
UK/CoD dean Michael Speaks spoke to The Architect's Newspaper about Town Branch Commons and the competition to design a series of pocket parks around the redeveloped Rupp Arena in Lexington. Part of the challenge is bringing Town Branch Creek back to the city's surface. The creek was covered up more than 100 years ago due to pollution and flooding.
"Part of the competition is to show the city five speculations that are realistic," Speaks explained. "But this is not purely speculative. The competition is an attempt to bring a new level of talent to Lexington." The College will host a symposium featuring the five shortlisted designers, and it will be moderated by Michael Speaks, Aaron Betsky, Director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, and Landscape Architecture magazine Editor-in-Chief Brad McKee.

Customer Reviews
August 2014
Pick up from hotel on time, organized registration by local operator Aqua Mania. The crew was absolutely dedicated, cater to everybody's need and beyond, onboard as well as on shore. All staff was extremely pleasant and knowledgable, lunch was yummy, free drinks were flowing aboard the catamaran. Onto Anguilla, comfy air conditionned bus with sympatic driver, the island tour was fun with plenty of informations about local coutumes. Shoal Bay has pristine, fine sand, lots of sun chairs and almost 3 hours to snorkel...which was amazing. Equipment is included and snorkeling is right at the beach, really close, and beautiful.I would not only recommend this tour but I will do this tour again!
Viator was great to deal with; I had a glitch in regard of St Barth tour which had to be cancelled, and Viator refunded with no hassles in a quick manner. I will book with Viator again.
March 2014
Took this Day Trip on March 18, 2014. Got picked-up from our Hotel at 7:45am to head over to Simpson Bay. At arrival, staff checked us in. Bring your passport. After a short wait, we took the "Tango" Catamaran and sailed to Anguilla. The ride over was great. It was smooth sailing on a perfect sunny day. You can sit on the back or in the front "rope" area. The "Tango" crew were friendly. They serve you with Rum Punch or beer and a snack (cheese and baguette). We arrived and docked in Cole Bay. You have the option to jump and swim over to shore or take a small motor boat to shore. We were driven across the island to Shoal Bay. White Sand and Clear Turquoise Water = AMAZING. It's your free time so you do whatever you want. You can opt to just chill or snorkel (staff will provide the gear). Then we had lunch over at the small restaurant by the beach (included). Options were burger, chicken BBQ or ribs. Alcohol is at your own expense. Mid-afternoon, we headed back to Cole Bay to start sailing back to St. Maarten. Had a great time! Anguilla's Shoal Bay is a must see beauty. Thanks to the "Tango" crew.

It's long been said that you can never know a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, and today you're going for a walk you won't soon forget.
German-born Manuela Wroblewski is cursed, threatened and even assaulted as she tries to discretely make her rounds feeding street cats and dogs in the seaside community of Avsallar, Turkey. It's a bittersweet duty that brings such fulfillment as the animals emerge from the shadows and run eagerly to her feet for their meal. But the daily walk is not without the sting of unwelcome surprises.
One Short Walk…
"While we were on the move, we bumped into a skinny street dog who had a nasty cut on his neck as well as blood running out of his right ear and several cuts," Manuela explains of a recent day on her beat. "Only 15 minutes later, we bumped into a dead cat that I had been caring for. He was a very friendly one, and what this poor cat looked like now, was shocking. Sara (visiting veterinary technician from Canada) lifted up his dead body and saw that one eye was missing too. She believes, and my vet confirmed, that this cat was abused and poisoned and — while still alive — was put into the open cardboard box where we found it."
"Down the road there is one apartment complex here where eight cats were peacefully living until a German woman chased them out by throwing stones at them. Now all of them look really confused as they dwell under a pile of trash directly next to a road. When we fed them, they climbed up onto our laps as they were so devastated. Still in shock about this, we bumped into another street dog who was limping badly. We informed my vet this morning and he will come here tomorrow morning to check both dogs out before we will hold the second spaying/neutering day tomorrow. And early this morning the pretty calico cat that was being used as a football by the local kids, was spitting a bit of blood. My vet will examine her too later today."
What's Going on Here?
In Turkey, as in many parts of the world, the animal welfare movement has not yet made its mark. It is not unusual for animals to be poisoned or beaten or killed in ways I dare not describe. It's truly a difficult situation.
We've talked about community education programs, but both Manuela and the veterinarian she works with fear that any posters to inform residents about our efforts to spay/neuter the cats or to attempt to address issues of cruelty would most likely inspire additional acts of violence toward the street animals. We've not yet penetrated the schools to introduce humane education to children who may be our only hope for a humane future here. There truly is a long road ahead of us here and no one is more aware of that than Manuela.
Amidst this monumental struggle, there are golden moments that buoy our spirits. For example, just the other day a puppy followed Manuela and visiting volunteer Sara Ahmadi for several miles.
"We fed her but she wanted more, she wanted love," explains Manuela.
So when a rare opportunity arose to rescue the dog and fly him out with a Belgian rescuer, Manuela immediately set out to find the puppy.
"I left at 9 am this morning with my big food bag and with a cat crate and spent seven hours walking and feeding, constantly searching for the skinny puppy. I felt like a robot walking back and forth but after exactly seven hours I spotted the puppy nearly two miles away on the beach. I had a leash with me but she refused to walk on it. So I carried her in my arms all the way while trying to hold onto the bag of cat food and the empty crate. I had to stop a few times as it was incredibly exhausting, but I got her back to my apartment safely and she will now begin a new life with the love she's been so desperately seeking."
We Stand With Manuela and You Can Too
Manuela is now firmly tucked under the wing of the Harmony Fund and we're holding on tight with financial and moral support.There's also a Facebook group where Manuela shares photos of the cats (and dogs) she's caring for in hopes of stimulating interest in international adoption. In fact, five cats are coming over at the end of April and will be arriving at JFK International Airport in New York. Three of those very affectionate cats do not yet have families to meet them at the gate and we're hoping and praying that will change over the next few days. (see photos above)
#1 Make a donation to help: The Harmony Fund is raising funds to help support Manuela's work to feed, spay/neuter and provide emergency veterinary care for the animals around her. This is a significant investment and we would deeply appreciate any donations to help our small charity meet this need year round. All donations that come in over the next 33 hours will be automatically earmarked for this project.
#2 To adopt or escort a cat on flights leaving Istanbul: The search is on for responsible, loving homes for these three cats and others Manuela hopes to help in coming months. The costs of vaccinations, a crate for air travel, the flight and taxes brings the total cost of adoption for each cat to $300. Any serious inquiries may be directed to email@example.com We're also eagerly looking for travelers flying out of Istanbul to the United States or parts of Europe who can 'escort' animals during future flights until adoptive families can meet them at the airport.

Manuela and others like her are our true heroes
poor cats glad to see someone are caring
Please know that Manuela continues her fight daily into 2014 to save the cats and dogs of Turkey's coastal region. Please give even a few dollars if you can through the Harmony Fund - you can donate to Manuela's cause specifically. Or, you can join her Facebook group: Adoption Time in Avsallar. Here you will see all the kitties for adoption! So many beautiful cats (and some dogs) are available! Please know you will be vetted so Manuela will be sure the cats are going to loving, forever homes. Please help this angel continue God's work among the worst conditions of animal abuse!
Thank you Manuela for caring
Kudos, green stars, standing ovation to Manuela and all those wonderful people who brae ridiculea and worse to feed and care for strays dogs and cats. I would dearly love to adopt every single cat she finds, and am certain many others feel the same way. Thank you so much for your dedication and compassion - prayers to you.
Manuela what a wonderful angel you are, I wish I could be out there helping you. God bless you x

Aston Martin Vantage Facelift First Spy Photos
It is facelift time for the Aston Martin Vantage and we have some of the first spy pictures showing off this pretty beast, albeit under some disguise.
The facelift will feature changes such as a slightly redesigned front bumper with new lower splitter, new 10-spoke 19-inch wheels as previously seen on the 2010MY Vantage and a rear diffuser that closely resembles the Vantage V12's diffuser. A higher rear spoiler is also included for better aerodynamic performance.
Interior changes also follow the 2010MY with a 1,000W B&O hi-fi system and a set of lightweight Kevlar and carbon seats.
Engine details are currently a mystery but they should remain largely the same for the facelift.

facelift? cant tell, due to the fact that all their designs look essentially the same. AM makes the only supercars where people wouldnt give 2 shit about during any road encounters.

why don't they improve the car's reliability before doing any facelift or whatever?
Feb 10, 2010 11:12 am
I like astons its been a while since ive seen one but i have always wanted to have one
Feb 10, 2010 8:13 am
All these cosmetic changes are useless if they are going to persist on using the underpowered Jaguar V8.There were rumours that they were going to use AMG engines from Mercedes..Anyone heard anything more about this? I would love to see a 6.2L AMG V8 powered Vantage.

This isn't a final car. The production revamp will have side skirts inspired by the N400, clear rear lamp lenses and new, slightly higher positioned door mirrors. The engines are untouched. There are studio shots of the finished car on the Autoexpress.co.uk website.
Feb 9, 2010 4:20 pm
Guess everyone is having the idea of having the 997 Carrera Classic's ducktail. The facelifted AMV8 looked rather aggressive, and I won't say as the pretty as the earlier AMV8s.

By Staff, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 12:00PM
In the 30-second ad, by Beattie McGuinness Bungay, Wallace takes a shower, with Gromit working furiously in the basement stoking a boiler to keep the water warm.
But the clever hound then gets on the phone and calls out npower's hometeam to install a modern new boiler.
Bil Bungay, a founder of BMB, said: "Wallace was superb to work with, he admitted to having laid off the Wensleydale for a couple of weeks prior to the shoot and it showed.
"He looked pretty buffed for his age."
The ad, which airs on the evening of Saturday, aims to highlight how the company is aiming to make energy efficiency easy and fun.

How it Works:
Customer Reviews of Hawking Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter
Works Great5/18/2009
Pulls in the Signal to the back of the my lot in the work shop. I am happy with the way it works.
Works perfectly for my laptop3/23/2009
I use my personal laptop in the school building where I work and the wireless reception is terrible. I was consistently unable to gain internet access from my class room until I purchased this antenna. I just plugged it into my docking station, loaded the software from the cd and I've had uninterrupted access ever since. I couldn't be happier with this product. It took care of my problem for half the cost of a wireless extender (repeater) unit.
This and AirLink 101 have good range3/23/2009
I replaced my Airlink 101 (10dBi)with this, it has slightly better range to pick up from my building next door and gives me faster downloads. This is a lot bigger, though and still will not reject my microwave oven or my phone.
Works Great2/13/2009
If this won't do the job for wireless-G, then nothing will.
Great solution!1/20/2009
I was getting spotty wireless reception from my office 80 feet away from the wireless router. With this product all is well. I would recommend highly!!
Excellent Linux Compatibility and Performance1/15/2009
While the windows installation required a driver and management application install, the Ubuntu 8.10 installation was simply plug and play. Literally plugged into the USB slot and had a new adapter with several times the networks my wireless card was picking up. The speed was phenomenal, and the connections were much more consistent. I could not be happier with this product for the price. It is nice to find something that simply works. If I could give it a 6 for ease of use based on Linux compatibility, I would.
Gets the job done1/14/2009
It does exactly what it says. . .picks up and amplifies weak internet connections. I haven't had any problems with it yet on Windows Vista. Just downloaded the drivers from the company website and plugged it in. It was good to go. Now I don't know if its the connection itself, interference or what. . . .before my laptop received a three bar connection. The dish made it 4 or 5. But at times it goes down to three again. No idea. I cleared as much interference as I possibly could but at times it fluctuates. That's about it. Overall worth the buy I think. (Even better on sale of course)
A good wireless network adapter1/9/2009
A good choice. Seems to show better reception than the adater in my laptop; can work as an access point also. The dish seems to help a little. Don't see any real problems so far. One thing is -it takes a little longer than a PCI adapter to connect after you reboot, but, once again, does not take too long to create a problem. I am satisfied.
Could not believe it.1/7/2009
I bought this wireless G thinking it probably wont work but it is worth a try. A block away on a wireless G and it works lot a top. My soninlaw is tickled because he could not get hispeed internet a block away from us because Verizon had not yet made it available to his home. Now he gets a perfect signal and uses it every day.
Great WiFi reception7/30/2008
Adapter improved my reception 3x's over my other external adapter. I'm running Windows XP 2 and occasionally the adapter needs resync'd with the computer. You have to pay attention that you don't overturn the antenna. It's better that you turn the unit rather than turning just the parabolic. The led's are helpful to give you a visual signal level The plastic is sorta cheap. If the unit is operating but does not receive simply take it apart and check that the little gold connector from the parabolic to the main board didn't fall off. If it does simply plug it back in.
WiFi range increased by 57/17/2008
The product has high performance in receiving unsecured web sites while I'm working. The dish is parabolic and I moved it around to see if it actually changes the reception. It does! It's much better than the wireless antenna built into my laptop. The blue led's on the unit help to see your signal levels too. The entire unit is plastic and pretty well made. I left it on my dashboard in the sun for several days. Nothing major happened but the heat caused the dish not to turn. I would recommend you don't do this. The reception wasn't affected. Overall, I pick up signals from I could never reach before, some from several blocks away. The unit comes with software on CD. The instructions on the CD are much informative than the paper manual. Great value, great reception.
My laptop's reception improved by a lot.
No Better Than Others I Have Used...7/3/2008
This Wi-Fi adaptor works much better than my laptops built in wireless card. However, for the price I have used other much cheaper USB corded Wi-Fi adaptors that worked just as well.
It works6/24/2008
I have a wireless router in my den that my desktop computer is connected to. I use my laptop in the living room. The walls here are concrete so I got a very weak signal with the laptops built in wireless connection. I would get 1 or 2 bars and sometime I lost the signal altogether. Now I have 4 bars. The only problem was I had to disable the laptops wireless adaptor and had to just install the hawking driver. When I tried to install the full hawking software I could'nt get a connection so I let windows do it's thing.
Works Good5/24/2008

Good reception3/16/2008
i can 2 more bars from signal compared to Linksys G.
Connecting to Hospital wireless from Motorhome in3/10/2008
My wife and I are dry camping in the parking lot of a hospital in New Hampshire for 3 weeks while our son is undergoing a bone marrow transplant. The Hawking Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter is providing the only way for us to get internet access while inside the motor home far out in the parking lot. We just point it toward the hospital and we get a good strong signal. The performance is no different than whe we are inside the hospital on a wireless laptop in my son's room. This product has exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it. It works!!
It worked for me3/8/2008
This little unit has the look of a Robbie The Robot accessory, but it works pretty well. It strengthened what previously had been an unusable "N" wireless signal from about 150 yds out. It also found & identified several other signals I never knew were out there. It was also pretty easy to set up. I'm satisfied with the purchase. Don't plan to use this item to grab a signal that can be broadcast by another wireless access point. I phoned Hawking's tech support center to see if this was possible. After 2 calls & a bit of a wait, I got a German sounding techie who just scoffed, did his best to make me feel like a rube & said it was "not possible."
Works Great!3/4/2008
Got this to replace a long-range antenna for a desktop that just wasn't doing the job - trying to connect to wireless from the basement, two floors up and all the way to the back of the house. Plus, through plaster walls. Well, this little antenna did the trick. Strong signal, good reception, works like being next to the router. It even pulls in networks around the neighborhood. Highly recommend.
Less than expected2/25/2008
The adapter seems to work OK. It is not very directional: I can rotate the dish 180 degrees with very little change in signal strength. Since gain is inversely related to angle, this means that the dish has only a minimal amount of gain. That's probably because the size of the dish is small compared to the wavelength of the WiFi signals. A bigger dish would have more gain and would work better. Also, the dish rotates only a little over 180 degrees, and if you position the base of the adapter so you can see the LED's, then the dish will be pointed toward you, plus or minus 90 degrees. (In other words, if the adapter is facing you, the dish can be aimed from "over your left shoulder" to "over your right shoulder.") That seems pretty dumb. Why would I want to be transmitting the WiFi signals through my body? Besides, won't my body will attenuate signals in that frequency range? It seems to me it would be much better if the dish's pivot range was 180 degrees AWAY FROM the LED's in the base, so I would be transmitting away from my body. Finally, the operating menu is too small, so it is often impossible to read all the information about the adapter one is connecting to. There's no way to maximize the menu, or to scroll. And there's no way to click on the "Signal Strength" column to sort the available connections in order of signal strength. Furthermore, there's no option to click to temporarily TURN OFF the connection, if you want to do so. In conclusion: disappointing gain, dumb physical design, and disappointing software; not what I expected from the Hawking brand. I can't help thinking I'd be better with a Pringles "cantenna."4 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Main internet cable (Comcast) connection is on main floor (colonial home), we can easily get very good wireless connections from anywhere inside or outside the home, EXCEPT the basement, where it is dismal at best, (1.0 at its' worst up to 18 mbps at its' best). After reading recommendations & reviews, I purchased the Hawkins HWU8DD, expecting a half-way decent connection, at least good enough for the kids casual surfing. Was I wrong. The connection went all the way to 54.0 mbps. FYI: The main cable internet line goes through a computer with Vista and the one I hooked up the Hawkings to runs on XP. Set up was virtually painless and completed in less than 5 minutes. I am so impressed!
Excecellent Product2/18/2008
The Hawking Dish Adapter was installed within ten minutes after I rececived it and worked perfectly. No problems what so ever. I was also pleased the way the product was packed and the short time it took to arrive. You did a good job. Thanks
Best Wireless Adapter I Have Owned.2/13/2008
I live about 500ft from my father-in-law who has a wireless network(netgear 824 router). I was using a netgear wpn111 adapter on my pc. I had very poor signal and when it was on for a while it would get hot and quit. The Hawking has far better signal and stays connected all the time. Buy.com is also a great place to shop.
So easy!2/13/2008
The Hawking Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter was easy from start to finish. It was easy to install, easy to point and understand where the strongest wi-fi signal was (LEDs right on the device help to position the dish correctly) and easy to use. I plan to replace more of my PCI Wi-fi adapters which are receiving weak signls with this excellent tool!
Increase your WIFI reception2/11/2008
this unit increased my WIFI reception from 2 bars to 4 bars.
tripled number of connections2/10/2008
number of connections of old x3 ! But many were very weak signals. But I would still recommend.
Not bad, but not great2/9/2008
It seems to improve the range by about 2X, small portable & light-weight -- also seems a little plasticy (cheap). SW was easy to install, decent user interface, overall - I'm ok w/ the purchase.
Good range2/9/2008
This device works as advertised. Modern, quality, notebooks already have excellent duplex antennae, usually mounted around the frame of the screen. Where this shines is when connected to an older notebook without a WLAN or to a desktop needing to reach a weak signal. Much better than the usual USB device.
Darn Thing Really Works!2/5/2008
I was not sure if something like this could actually work. But it dones! Just load the software and the wizard takes care of the rest! Improved the signal enough to save another DSL line. It paid for itself the first month.
Easy to Use, Great Range2/3/2008
My mother has a house next to mine. I bought this to connect her older desktop computer to my wireless network. It was easy to set up, and it exceeded my signal strength expectations. It was a little more than I intended to pay, but it sure works great!
Wow. Problem solved!!!1/25/2008
I have an office in my garage. I live in a large home in the country and work from home. However, none of my 3 wireless networks were able to reach my garage office. I found myself facing the need to run yet another cable/network to the garage in order to access the internet. Instead, I tried this inexpensive product and gave it a try. Wow, what can I say. Was able to install the software and get online in around 10 minutes. Problem solved! I am writing this from my office now. Great solution for weak/no signal issues.
it is not worth it1/21/2008
this antenna didnt change anything with my wireless reception comparing with my laptop built in wlan card.
just don't expect miracles1/19/2008
we are two neighbors/friends who wanted to share an internet connection (we are students, and must save whenever we can) so one has the wireless router, but because we live in two separate apt. the signal was not too good; you couldn't watch streaming video smoothly and so on. So we got this antenna. The signal is better, that is true. How much better? about 25-30% according to download tests we run. On the other hand, it doesn't pick up more networks then the regular wireless adapters on our laptops, meaning it is not THAT much better. installation was pretty easy. one problem you may encounter is that if you detach the antenna and replug it to a different USB port, you might need to reinstall it again (as with many other USB products)
Sci-fi meets wi-fi1/9/2008
Wi-fi is tough in our big old house. This adaptor works so well that I bought a second. Best of all, it looks like a prop left over from a sci-fi movie of the 50s.
Great wireless modem11/30/2007
This wireless modem exceeded my expectations. Where my laptop's wireless modem/antennas received 2 signals, the Hawking modem received 8. The software was easy to install and configure and now I've got wireless access most everywhere I go.
why buy anywhere else????11/27/2007
after do much research for a wifi usb adapter i am very satisfied the price was the lowest for a new unit i am using it from a motel to write this this was my first experience with a wifi away from home have used it from motel to motel and and at place where i borrowed some band with from neighbors while visiting easy to operated will pick up many types of routers just what this novis wanted a great toy
Doesn't work well with Vista operating system9/25/2007
The adaptor works better than the average wireless adaptor but the tweaking software doesn't work with vista. I had to go to Hawking's website to download the driver but it only makes the addaptor function with no way to adjust pointing as advertised.
better than the triple play9/7/2007
Positive: it really works. Negative: it is made out of plastic and feels like it can break easily. Overall: worth the small investment
Wonderful WiFi addition8/14/2007
We travel in an RV and some don't have WiFi. With the Hawking Antenna I'm able ususally to select from several in the area.
THis little toy is great! Pros-Good range, connects well, good supplement software Cons-?
Works As Advertised4/12/2007
As promised, this wireless adapter with directional dish significantly increased the range of my WiFi network. The software is easy to install and use. Overall a very good product at a fair price.
Significant improvement.3/28/2007
I have only just recieved this today, and already estimate a 3 fold improvement in internet performance. My regular wireless in the laptop bearly reads a signal. With this I have had a steady, reliable signal all day.
Hawking 8dBi directional Dish3/3/2007
The Hawking HWU8DD antenna works as advertised and reaches out up to a half mile in direct line of site to hot spot before losing signal. I tried in car with laptop and got a strong signal about a quarter mile from hot spot with dish on dash and pointed. I drove approximately another quarter mile and still picked up a 20 percent signal.
Great Product2/25/2007
This is a great product to extend the range for picking up WiFi. I can now receive an improved signal compared to what I previously received. I would recommend this to anyone who has problems receiving signals. Shipping was on time and as promised.
Back online again!!2/8/2007
This was simply the best thing i invested in for my computer..it is essential that i be able to stay connected to the internet and this adapter picks up signals I didnt even know were available in the neighborhood! The software is easy to install..I plan on going on the road and plan on taking this item with me.
Extended Range10/17/2006
The product did extend the range of my 11.g network. I am now able to get a signal to a computer that has six walls between the computer and the wifi router and is about 80 feet away from the wifi router.
Wireless Internet9/19/2006
The adapter is all it claims and more. I can recieve a vastly improved signal compared with an ordinary plug in adapter. I recommend this to anyone.
works great9/11/2006
It works perfect. Had it up and going in no time. have on a network 3/4 mile away. just for testing purposes got a succesful network at over 5 miles with this dish. more than what i need.3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Works well8/14/2006
The dish feature definitely helps to isolate the WiFi signal. I was running a Netgear dongle, which picks up a weak signal. The hawking is more sensitive, and the software does a good job at monitoring the intensity and direction of the signal. A good buy.
Works inside my travel trailer7/30/2006
I have a travel trailer in a park that has a wireless access point. My normal wireless card wouldn't pick up the signal well enough to log onto the Internet because of the steel shell of the trailer. The Hawking Hi Gain antenna, with some careful aiming, pulls in the signal well enough for me to use the Internet as though I was connected directly to a cable or DSL modem. It takes a few minutes of tilting and aiming the little dish, but, using the onscreen signal meter, you can quickly "find" a signal that a regular wireless card cannot. The only addition I'd suggest would be a longer USB cable so you can move the dish farther from the computer if necessary.5 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Saudi Arabia was elected to a seat in the UN Security Council but quickly rejected that position and slammed the council for its "double standards" in diplomacy. The event particularly highlights Saudi frustration with the US and with the international community for failing to intervene in Syria, where Saudi has backed the rebels against Assad. Saudi suspicion of the warming relationship between the US and Iran only complicates matters. ... more
One of the factors being considered in the Syria debate—and rightly so—is how much an intervention would actually cost. But what isn't being discussed as much is the fact that U.S. taxpayers have already given more than $1 billion in humanitarian aid during the conflict. ... more
"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another ..." So begins the Declaration of Independence of the 13 colonies from the king and country to which they had given allegiance since the settlers first came to Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. ... more
The old adage "be careful what you wish for" is an apt reminder in light of this week's news that the U.S. birthrate has dropped to its lowest level on record. For years, population hysterics have tried to convince Americans to aim not just for zero population growth in the U.S. but its complete reversal. ... more
For decades, it has been obvious that there are irreconcilable differences between Americans who want to control the lives of others and those who wish to be left alone. Which is the more peaceful solution: Americans using the brute force of government to beat liberty-minded people into submission or simply parting company? In a marriage, where vows are ignored and broken, divorce is the most peaceful solution. Similarly, our constitutional and human rights have been increasingly violated by a government instituted to protect them. Americans who support constitutional abrogation have no intention of mending their ways. ... more
Some fringe conservatives seem perversely determined to turn a stinging electoral defeat into an epic, sweeping disaster. That's the deeper meaning of current talk about impeachment, secession, third parties, civil disobedience, and onrushing apocalypse. ... more

It is obvious President Obama has not figured out that speaking with a forked tongue is unbecoming of the one who promised to be a different kind of politician, let alone the leader of the free world. ... more
One of the most important challenges we face as a free people is understanding the true nature of - and threat posed by - a totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call shariah.

Nice girl looking for nice guy
What do you think of when you hear "Opera Singer"? Well I bet I'm the exception to your previously conceived idea. I'm a fun, down to earth girl who loves baseball, poker, skiing, traveling, nature, music and the arts. I enjoy cooking and trying new foods. Of course I love music and performing but on my days off I like to go shopping, walking in the park with my dog, bar hopping with friends, and playing cards with family. I've lived in Cleveland, Baltimore, and NYC and have traveled to England, Germany, France, Austria, and Italy. When I get the travel bug, I scratch- whether it be a road trip to Michigan or a train ride though Germany. I'm looking for someone with whom I can share spontaneity but also quality time at home. Did I mention laughs are a must!? :) I want a guy I can chill with and just have a good time- sit by the fire and make s'mores. My family and friends are a major part of my life and I'm looking for someone who has similar values (and can laugh with and at my crazy family and friends!)

I exercise 3-4 times per week.

I have a goldendoodle named Bear. He's 85 pounds of adorable love! As sweet as can be, though he tends to knock things around with his tail...unknowingly of course. I love cats but I'm really allergic to them, sadly.

Music is a huge passion of mine! I love classical, opera, and jazz. I'm usually always involved in some kind of production, whether performing or directing. I'm addicted to Bones and Mad Men. I love to cook and taste new foods.
I enjoy being with friends and family, watching Bones and No Reservations, reading, hiking, going to movies, museums, operas, music events, walking my dog, and cooking. I also have a passion for traveling and exploring new places!
I'm currently reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. I met him at a book signing in NYC and really admire him as a chef and writer. He's as cool in person as he is on his show!

Gillingham's Tom Flanagan backs team to bounce back
Gillingham defender Tom Flanagan has said the team will bounce back after Rochdale inflicted their first league defeat of the season.
He told BBC Radio Kent: "We've got about 37 games left. To lose one game is nothing. We'll just start again.
"We'll go another eight games unbeaten now. We might lose on the ninth game, then we'll go another eight games.
"If we carry on like that, we'll get promoted."
Flanagan is on loan from MK Dons until January 2013.


text: Business Entrepreneurs: Line up here for $330M in special offers, via Startup America September 13, 2011 12:42 PM Dylan Tweney 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. The Startup America Partnership announced today that it is accepting applications from startups that want to tap into its vast resources of incentives for entrepreneurs and young companies. The partnership is a privately funded initiative that was launched in January, 2011 at a White House ceremony. There's a corresponding government entity called, confusingly, the Startup America Initiative. But it's the Startup America Partnership that new companies may want to pay special attention to. The organization has secured $330 million in commitments from its partners, including companies like Dell, Intuit, Google, Facebook, American Express and others. These commitments are essentially offers to provide free or discounted goods and services to qualifying startups. For instance, Dell will offer 40% discounts on laptops to companies that are accepted into the Startup America program. The partnership currently has a few hundred startups on its lists, but is today opening the doors to any company that wants to apply for membership. Its goal is to qualify 100,000 startups by the end of 2012. Startup America's CEO is Scott Case, the founding chief technology officer at Priceline.com. The organization is not intended to be a permanent institution, and has a 3-year time horizon. If its goals of fostering entrepreneurship and company formation are met, it may wind down after that. Startup America is sponsoring a video lounge and is shooting photos and videos at the DEMO Fall 2011 conference here in Silicon Valley. VentureBeat is a co-producer of the conference.

Influence of Incentive on Strategies of Human choice Behavior in a Four Alternative Transfer of Learning Probability Task
Hanzelon, Robert J.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectIncentive (Psychology); Choice (Psychology)--Behavior; Task analysis--Knowledge and learning
The Problem: Forty-eight human Ss were presented with a four choice probability learning-task. Two groups of 24 Ss each were placed under different incentives - Equitable Wage (EW) and Gambling Wage (GW). It was anticipated that a transfer of learning effect would be present. Also, it was anticipated that the test in which the most frequently and least frequently presented alternatives were in opposite positions from that presented during pre-training would be the most difficult test presented. Procedure: All Ss were presented with 120 trials during pre-training and 60 trials in each of the four probability schemes during the test session. During one of the four tests, each alternative was the most frequently presented alternative. In each test, the four alternatives were presented in the following percentages: 56.25; 18.75; 18.75; and, 6.25. Findings and Conclusions: The GW group (greater incentive given) performed significantly more accurately than the EW group (lesser incentive given). Although both incentive groups approximated probability matching choice behavior, Ss in the GW group made more correct responses by distributing more responses to the most frequently presented alternative and fewer responses to the least frequently presented alternative than did the EW group. No support was present for a transfer of training effect nor the expected task difficulty.

Can you keep up? Can you slow down?
I am a thinker, an explorer, risk taker and an athlete. And I also want to be part of a couple that is sharing, supportive, nice and likes to do things. The Harvard thing is true, I went there for college and law school but it doesn't define me. But I hope it indicates that I like to think and I have an active mind and imagination for planning dates. I have a bunch of stamps on my passport, but exploring for me is finding a great unknown restaurant, finding that stash of powder at Kirkwood, finding out a great story my partner has to share. If your passion is spending a lot of money staying in the Park Hyatt in Paris, that is not my sense of exploring. Although I am not a stranger to Ritz Carltons and Relaix and Chateau resorts. I am a risk taker, working with start-up companies rather than staying in the safe, secure and lucrative law firm partnership track. Hopefully, that will work out economically better in the long run, but it has already worked out much better for me on a happiness level. I am an athlete. I ski, golf, run and bike. I have shot below par, I finished in the top 10% in an ultramarathon and have completed the California Triple Crown as well as done the Death Ride. But I also like Northstar vs Squaw and am happy to just hike around Fremont Older. What I am hoping to find is someone nice. I have done the resume type of dating based on education, profession and profile picture. But a good friend told me that I wasn't ready to hear this before but now he thinks I will actually listen - that the question you need to ask is will you be happy with this person 10, 20 and 40 years from now. It is not a resume or picture that you will be with, but a partner. Of course I want someone who is smart, athletic with some shared interests, but I need someone who is nice and fun to be around. If you've reached this far, thanks for reading.

Seminar for New Field Instructors (Charles River Campus and Off-Campus Programs)
The Seminar for New Field Instructors is required for all field instructors supervising an MSW student for the first time. Because the course is designed to support beginning field instruction skills, we only offer the seminar to people supervising a student in the fall. Please note that several of the sections have an enrollment cap and some tend to fill up early. Priority will be given to field instructors who will be supervising Boston University students in the event a section becomes full. Field instructors who will be supervising macro practice students should enroll in the Tuesday morning section, Section C. If you are unable to attend one of the seminars offered by Boston University, you may be able to attend a similar seminar offered by one of the other New England schools of social work. See NECON for more information.
