Our workgroup had been seeking a low cost temporary solution for a point-to-point link to an offsite facility. We needed greater than 10Mbps throughput and thought 802.11a wireless might offer some promise. At the present moment (June 2002) no manufacturers offer low-cost devices with detactable antennae. This significantly limits range of 802.11a to around 300 Meters under the best conditions.

Directional antenna are needed to focus the send/receive energy at further distance. Inspired by the work of Rob Frohne and his Primestar Wireless Antenna Page - . After a little experimentation and engineering (the feed horn is a particularly important component). Much to my shock, It Worked!!! I guess that the side-to-front gain is around 9-10db.

Coats of Arms, Coat of Arms, Family Crest. Teach Site. Create Your Own Martial Artfreemartialartsonline.com. You aren’t really a martial artist until you create your own martial art. Let me ask you a question: Are you going to be a better martial artist if you have to remember what somebody taught you, or if you have reached the point where you are creating your own moves in the moment? This course, ‘Create Your Own Martial Art,’ is the only course of its kind in the world. It is a unique method for actually delving into the core principles of any art and seeing the truth of that art. The material of this course has never been seen, not in any studio, not in any system, ever. It is that unique. After viewing this course, and especially after doing the drills I present, you will understand the geometric progression of all arts. This course was actually the first example of Matrixing ever put on film. There are a couple of things you should be aware of. One, I recommend you take one or more of the earlier courses on Matrixing.

Huff, MA Testimony in the Japanese parliament, broadcast live on Japanese television in January 2008, challenged the premise and validity of the Global War on Terror. Parliament member Yukihisa Fujita insisted that an investigation be conducted into the war’s origin: the events of 9/11. In a parliament Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee session held to debate the ethics of renewing Japan’s “anti-terror law,” which commits Japan to providing logistical support for coalition forces operating in Afghanistan, Fujita opened the session by stating, “I would like to talk about the origin of this war on terrorism, which was the attacks of 9/11, . . .

According to Christopher W. Citation 1. PVC Bike Repair Stand. I chose 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe for the main frame because it was sturdy & had the broadest selection of fittings. There are a couple pieces of 2" pipe that I use for the bike frame rests, and some optional foam weather stripping to use for padding. There is also some shaping of some of the pipe & fittings, so some carving & shaping tools are required.

Tools: - hack saw (or alternately a PVC tubing cutter) - tape measure - wood chisel (or alternately a dremel tool with a carbide bit) - pencil & dry-erase marker - file - sand paper PVC parts: (4) 15" lengths of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the base supports (2) 34" lengths of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the legs (1) 16" length of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the down-tube support (1) 51" length of 1 1/2" diameter pipe for the base outrigger (1) 3" length of 2" diameter pipe for the bike rests (3) 1 1/2" T-fittings (2) 1 1/2" 90 degree elbow fittings (2) 1 1/2" coupling or end-cap fittings (1) 1 1/2" cross fitting (AKA 4-way fitting)

Grow plants from your groceries, like ginger root and pineapple! Must-See Illustration Tutorials from DeviantART. How to create a sunken trampoline - little green fingers. I think a sunken trampoline has to be my favourite family garden feature. It's a simple enough idea but solves so many headaches. It's safer, less intrusive and popular with everyone. I have sunken a couple myself. Well, to be more accurate, I've sunken the same one twice (note to self - decide where to put the thing and don't change your mind after 12 months). And I have also designed several gardens with sunken trampolines, so I now consider myself, if not an expert, certainly au fait with the ups and downs (no pun intended).

So what do you do...? First, measure up - I would say buy a relatively large trampoline (ours is 14') but make sure that it won't dominate the garden. And that's it, except to say, sunken trampolines might be safer, but not so safe that you shouldn't supervise very carefully. Oh and if you want to see a couple of films about putting in sunken trampoines and how to maintain them, check these out below: Water Marble Tutorial. Supplies: orange stick or...

Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct. Nini Makes: Twig flower pots for giving, or keeping: a tutorial. Twig flower potI like to give plants to friends or family instead of cut flowers. Plastic pots aren't pretty so I usually wrap them in something like hessian (burlap) and tie them with nice string. I recently tried repurposing laundry detergent containers and dressed them up with twigs - I liked the results. They're very easy to make, here's how: Supplies: Small saw (optional), hessian, a straight sided container, twigs or small branches that are fairly straight, jute twine, glue gun or string Gather a pile of twigs and cut them down to roughly the same length; you'll want them a little taller than your container.

Take a long piece of twine (about a metre and a half) and at the middle of your piece of twine begin tying the sticks together. After checking the length, tie the twigs again at the other end. Cover a straight sided container with a strip of hessian (burlap). Now just wrap the twigs around and tie it on. Told you it was easy! How To Build The World's Best Paper Airplanes.
