Re: [MBZ] Router help
You could get a range extender and set it on top of the near blast wall, but unless you have PoE you also have to power it. Not to sound too daft, it would be easiest to run a x-ft length of cat5e from out of one of the connected trailers to somewhere near her trailer and plug in to a regular router or AP at her place. If the trailers are anything like the ones I've seen it won't be adding to the draft to have a cat5 cable running out the window. For that matter if she's on good terms with the other trailers maybe they would set one of their routers on the top of the blast wall, and everyone could play. If not, the archived description (last month probably?) of DD-WRT is my suggestion, install it as a client with the SSID of the good router and then connect the laptop (or another AP) to the back end. Send along a very long power extension cord and ethernet cable (local home improvement store should carry 100' of both) so she can set the DD-WRT on top of the blast wall, or even slung over the top onto the ground next door. I think unless she clears that wall, either line-of-sight (height) or because the device is past it, the reception may not be satisfactory; a foot of concrete makes a good signal a lot of noise. To answer the actual question, the best 11n-draft routers will be higher x-by-x numbers, you should be able to find 2x2 or 2x3s. Power is mostly limited by the FCC, the highest 11a channels can be higher power so a dual-band might help, though I can't say I've ever tested range vs. channel live so I'm not sure the greater power beats greater attenuation. The biggest differences are in laptop and AP sensitivity though, and there's not a great way to get those numbers reliably. If she has no practical signal now then I'm concerned that while an antenna or stronger AP might work, it doesn't sound like she would be wanting to rebuild it a bunch of times until it worked reliably, or able to go buy hardware when all else failed. If I'm misreading that then by all means go for the antennas, that's more fun anyhow and probably cheaper. :) Good luck, -Tim -Original Message- From: MG trainpain2...@yahoo.com Date: Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008 7:41 pm Subject: Re: [MBZ] Router help To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.comReply-To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Well the cantenna probably won't fly. I think that's why she was asking about a router because that would provide the best option as to connections and then if anyone else in her trailer wants to buy in to the connection that would make that easier as well as lower the cost for all. The 2 blast barriers are taller then the trailers and a foot thick so that tends to attenuate the signal quite a bit which is why her laptop isn't doing too good and she is hoping that a router in her trailer will have better reception both ways.

Re: [MBZ] Rear License plate backing
The few times I've bought a new car I have put this in the contract. What usually ends up is that they still put a license plate frame on it. I'm not going to argue over that because I can remove it (and I do) within minutes of arriving home. It's the dealers that used to paint or use stickers on their cars that had problems. I remember buying a Ford Escort in 91 that had to go back to the dealer's body shop the day after I got it so they could remove the dealer's logo that was stickered on the hatch lid. The guy from the body shop that did it thought it was pretty funny.

I had to deal with one of the angriest customers I have ever dealt with (at the dealership) because of a similar problem. The late 90's and Early 2000's Cutlass Supremes had a panel on the rear trunk lid that had silver paint in the reflector (sort of hard to describe) and it was covered under warranty. So, we had ordered one for a customer and installed it for him. The technician also put a Don Wessel decal on the panel. It was a small and pretty tasteful decal. Whenever we replaced one of these panels we put the decal on them because we assumed that the prior one had one on it. The vast majority of our customers bought the car from us, so it would have had one on it when they got it. Well, this guy comes tearing around and raising all sorts of hell, screaming and yelling about how we put that on his car and he didn't want it. It was quite a scene. It really was so out of proportion to what we had done. I tried to calm him down and he was just crazy. Eventually, we were able to take it off without any trouble and he left. He came back a few weeks later for an oil change and never said anything about it. Donald H. Snook -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Router help
What she wants to do is possible, but likely illegal (the FCC regulates the gain of directional antennas), so she'll have to build the antenna herself. You can go really long distances (10+ miles) with regular wireless cards/transmitters with the proper directional antenna setups on each end, and a line of sight path. You'll need to make a cantenna on each end, and point them exactly at one another. One end should be connected to a router, and the other end to a wireless card on the laptop- you'll need to get both a router and wireless card that are designed to take an external antenna. By googling, you can find plans to build a cantenna, and if she's really ambitious she can use the cantenna as a feedhorn on a small parabolic digital satellite dish to get a REALLY high gain antenna. For a wireless card, I highly recommend the Rosewil RNX-G1W. It has windows/mac/linux drivers, costs about $15 on newegg, and takes an external antenna. It also has a very strong receiver/transmitter. Sincerely, Tyler On Dec 23, 2008, at 11:08 AM, M G wrote: My daughter asked me about the longest range wireless router in N. She is at camp Victory and a bunch of the people got together and bought a used satellite dish from some of the guys who were coming home. They live in three trailers with foot thick concrete blast walls between them. They have two access points on two of the trailers but since she is the only one in the third trailer in on the deal there is no router there and her computer doesn't get the signal. So she wants to buy a router that she can use when she gets back. I don't understand how a wireless router will get the signal when her laptop can¢t but I think it is just the size of the antenna on the laptop vs. the one on the router. That would mean I guess that she would connect her laptop to the router with a cable and use that or can she just connect to it wireless without a computer connected to the router with a cable? Anyway I know there was talk about that on the list a while back but I didn't pay much attention to it so if any of you have an opinion I would be happy to pass it on to her.

Re: [MBZ] plates
Rear plates only for NC, also. Late '57 - Mar '60 I lived in Lincoln, NE. One Sat afternoon I was driving my '51 Chevy with black/yellow NC plate on only the rear, of course, IAW NC law. NE plates were also black/yellow, and from a distance, could be mistaken for each other. Met NE highway patrolman; 'noticed his brake lights immediately in my rear view mirror; I had no fear whatever as I watched him turn around quickly and come rushing up behind me. NE required a front plate; I had none, again, IAW NC law. I was at or below the speed limit and could think of no other infraction I had committed (recently, anyway). He rushed up on my rear bumper close enough to read, North Carolina, on the rear plate, then quickly turned around and went on his way. This happened at a half dozen times during my time in NE, but I was never stopped.

So Curt went to the doctor and says, Doc, I have this problem, it's sort of a personal problem, has to do with, you know, those ads you see on TV for male diffiiculties. And the doc says, Curt, what you need to do first is try some fresh baked bread every day, see if that helps, then if it doesn't we can try that medicine. So Curt went home and says to his wife, Doc says I need to make fresh bread and eat it every day, so I'm gonna make 3 loaves. She said, 3 loaves! It'll get hard before you can eat it all! So that's why he's making 9 loaves. --R Curt Raymond wrote: 2 loaves of Christmas bread done, 1 in the oven, 1 prepped and ready, 4 rising, at least 1 yet to mix... I'm a victim of my own success, I found instructions for bread baked in a dutch oven in the Mother Earth News and gave it a try. Then I took a fresh (really fresh, baked that morning) loaf to Thanksgiving dinner. Now everybody wants bread for Christmas to be delivered tonight... Each loaf takes ~ 40 minutes.

Re: [MBZ] OT: 2 1/2 down, 6 1/2 to go
1 1/2 cups warm water 5/8 tsp yeast (the recipe calls for less but its cool in our house and I like yeasty bread, I acutally use a touch more) 1Tbsp Maple Syrup (stimulates the yeast and makes lighter bread, this is entirely my addition to the recipe) 1 1/2 tsp salt (DO NOT forget the salt, I did once, gross...) 3 cups flour (I use Heckers www.heckers-ceresota.com which is apparently now available in Florida, its great because its got lots of glutin, low glutin flours won't work right (I tried buckwheat flour once, disaster...)) Put the water in a bowl add the yeast and maple syrup, stir gently. For a finer grained bread wait 1 hour, for a looser more bubbly Artisan bread don't wait. Add the salt and flour. Mix with your hands. One of two things will happen, the mix will seem quite dry and clay like or it'll be wet and slimy. Either condition is totally okay though I've never figured out how to know which I'll get. I think I might be a touch loose on my ingredient amounts... Let it sit at least a couple hours, ideally over night but not over more than about 18 hours or it'll go all strange. Take a fine grain dish towel (my FIL gave me some all cotton lint free glass cleaning towels that work great) don't use a nappy handtowel or you'll have lint in your bread. Lay the towel on the counter and flour it good, don't be stingy. Put the bread on the towel and fold it over onto itself four or five times (fold it up into a ball, then squash it back out, fold it up, squash it, fold it, squash it) you'll have to add flour to keep it from sticking everywhere. Then fold the towel over it and leave it alone for awhile, 20-40 minutes. Put your dutch oven (lid on) into the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes to get it good and hot. Pull it out, put the bread in, put it back in the oven (lid on) for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes. You'll probably have to adjust cooking times, I've never tested but I think my oven runs hot.

The boy's 300SD made it here from Philly at 2AM, it got a wash and a wax just now, and for a 25 yo car it looks right gorgeous sitting out there. 3rd wash today, 2 more to go! 75F though, and quite nice, so it is fun being outside on Christmas eve doing that kind of thing. Might have to go get some diesel and 15W50 later, or maybe Friday. For all of you not so lucky to have such a pleasant day, enjoy it all however you can get it!

Mix with your hands. One of two things will happen, the mix will seem quite dry and clay like or it'll be wet and slimy. Either condition is totally okay though I've never figured out how to know which I'll get. I think I might be a touch loose on my ingredient amounts... Let it sit at least a couple hours, ideally over night but not over more than about 18 hours or it'll go all strange. Take a fine grain dish towel (my FIL gave me some all cotton lint free glass cleaning towels that work great) don't use a nappy handtowel or you'll have lint in your bread. Lay the towel on the counter and flour it good, don't be stingy. Put the bread on the towel and fold it over onto itself four or five times (fold it up into a ball, then squash it back out, fold it up, squash it, fold it, squash it) you'll have to add flour to keep it from sticking everywhere. Then fold the towel over it and leave it alone for awhile, 20-40 minutes. Put your dutch oven (lid on) into the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes to get it good and hot. Pull it out, put the bread in, put it back in the oven (lid on) for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes.

Re: [MBZ] Router help
I hate it when the power blips right after I've written a whole bunch of stuff. Now I have to do the whole thing again. I got to talk with Missy when she called for Christmas just a bit ago. (we open presents on the 24th so everyone was here and got to talk to her) BTW a Merry Christmas to everyone just so I don't forget to say that later as I have been known to. Anyway Missy says that they are planning to run a cable from the dish router in the bomb shelter to her trailer like they did for the other two trailers. That's about 200' or so, and then put a router or some other inexpensive access point box to translate to the wireless in her trailer so she doesn't have to have a wire all the way to the laptop. The nearest trailer is about 250' and has the wireless router but after two blast walls over 10' tall and the 250' the signal just doesn't make it. Setting the routers outside is not an option due to the dust and rain. Even putting them into a box doesn't help. That's why the dish is at the bomb shelter cause the router can be inside there. The other stuff is all linksys but I think she is thinking of going with netgear for her link. There isn't any problem with running the cable over the blast walls as most of the vehicles running down the roads between them are lower then the tops and when a taller vehicle is going to come they let them know at least a day before so the cables can be temporarily disconnected. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often as they just barely fit down those paths. She says it's a lot of fun driving a pickup around there as most of the vehicles are so big they will run a pickup over and not even notice the bump. You are right about the air leak as the window in her room doesn't even close all the way so she has duct tape over the one inch gap at the bottom as it is so that will be a good place to run the cable in. It seems that the dish connection to the Internet costs $390 a month over there so having 15 people to share the cost at least brings it down to a manageable cost without slowing things down too much. I guess there are a few of these groups over there doing the same thing. I tell you what the kids these days don't know how good they have it. Trailers with AC yet even! Manfred Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:00:49 -0800 (PST) From: Tim C. bb...@crone.us You could get a range extender and set it on top of the near blast wall, but unless you have PoE you also have to power it. Not to sound too daft, it would be easiest to run a x-ft length of cat5e from out of one of the connected trailers to somewhere near her trailer and plug in to a regular router or AP at her place. If the trailers are anything like the ones I've seen it won't be adding to the draft to have a cat5 cable running out the window. For that matter if she's on good terms with the other trailers maybe they would set one of their routers on the top of the blast wall, and everyone could play. If not, the archived description (last month probably?) of DD-WRT is my suggestion, install it as a client with the SSID of the good router and then connect the laptop (or another AP) to the back end. Send along a very long power extension cord and ethernet cable (local home improvement store should carry 100' of both) so she can set the DD-WRT on top of the blast wall, or even slung over the top onto the ground next door. I think unless she clears that wall, either line-of-sight (height) or because the device is past it, the reception may not be satisfactory; a foot of concrete makes a good signal a lot of noise. To answer the actual question, the best 11n-draft routers will be higher x-by-x numbers, you should be able to find 2x2 or 2x3s. Power is mostly limited by the FCC, the highest 11a channels can be higher power so a dual-band might help, though I can't say I've ever tested range vs. channel live so I'm not sure the greater power beats greater attenuation. The biggest differences are in laptop and AP sensitivity though, and there's not a great way to get those numbers reliably. If she has no practical signal now then I'm concerned that while an antenna or stronger AP might work, it doesn't sound like she would be wanting to rebuild it a bunch of times until it worked reliably, or able to go buy hardware when all else failed. If I'm misreading that then by all means go for the antennas, that's more fun anyhow and probably cheaper. :) Good luck, -Tim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] License Plate Frames
How is anyone supposed to read the state when many states put the
state name in smaller and smaller fonts and stupid scripts
that nobody can read. New Mexico prints light yellow on white or
vice versa. talk about stupid! Tennessee has some small script, and
its neighbor, Mississippi recently succumbed.
I remember when once a year the newspaper Iowa used to depend on
printed a color spread in the center of Picture Magazine
(rotogravure) of each state license plate. The start letters were
always 1 tall block letters. You COULD put a frame around it and
still see what state it was from.
If you something done worse than it was before, you can always count
on gummit to make things worse.

Re: [MBZ] OT: breadmaking - was 2 1/2 down, 6 1/2 to go
Curt wrote: 1 1/2 cups warm water Yeast grows better when it's warm. That's the only reason for warm water. For a softer crust, use milk. An egg white as part of the liquid also makes a softer, less flaky crust. 5/8 tsp yeast (the recipe calls for less but its cool in our house and I like yeasty bread, I acutally use a touch more) Probably not needed. Yeast growth takes time. More yeast to start with doesn't change the time much. 1Tbsp Maple Syrup (stimulates the yeast and makes lighter bread, this is entirely my addition to the recipe) The yeast will grow fine with just the starch from the flour. But maple syrup or molassas changes the texture of the bread interior. It doesn't affect the crust much. 1 1/2 tsp salt (DO NOT forget the salt, I did once, gross...) Good advice. *smile* I have noticed that different batches of flour/grain will need different amount of salt. I don't have an explanation... 3 cups flour (I use Heckers www.heckers-ceresota.com which is apparently now available in Florida, its great because its got lots of glutin, low glutin flours won't work right (I tried buckwheat flour once, disaster...)) Any yeast-leavened bread need high-gluten flour. The gluten is a stringing protein that allows the yeast to form durable bubbles. If you mill your own grain, it's the hard wheats that are high-gluten. Soft wheats are not. Kamet, spelt, barley, and rye have some gluten, but not enough for yeast bread to do well. Buckwheat, oat, and quinoa effectively don't have any. So buckwheat will do fine if you mix it with the high-gluten flour - but not more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the total. Put the water in a bowl add the yeast and maple syrup, stir gently. For a finer grained bread wait 1 hour, for a looser more bubbly Artisan bread don't wait. Add the salt and flour. Mix with your hands. Or the KitchenAid, or other such machine. *smile* One of two things will happen, the mix will seem quite dry and clay like or it'll be wet and slimy. Either condition is totally okay though I've never figured out how to know which I'll get. I think I might be a touch loose on my ingredient amounts... If the dough is slimy, there's too much water. If it's not at least tacky, there's not enough water. But the flour will have varying amounts of moisture depending on air humitity, etc. so precise measuring won't necessarily solve the issue. The water quantity changes the rise time and the loaf's proofing. Too much water - shorter proof, looser texture, prone to falling. Too little water - long proof, dense texture, prone to heavy, brick-like loaves. From what I've seen water quantity is the most common cause of bread-machine loaves not turning out. If you use a breadmachine, look at the loaf. If it is crater-like on top - too much water. If it's lumpy, not smooth - not enough water. Let it sit at least a couple hours, ideally over night but not over more than about 18 hours or it'll go all strange. Room temperature is a _big_ effect on rise time. 85F (30C) is great bread-making weather. Take a fine grain dish towel (my FIL gave me some all cotton lint free glass cleaning towels that work great) don't use a nappy handtowel or you'll have lint in your bread. Lay the towel on the counter and flour it good, don't be stingy. Put the bread on the towel and fold it over onto itself four or five times (fold it up into a ball, then squash it back out, fold it up, squash it, fold it, squash it) you'll have to add flour to keep it from sticking everywhere. That is called kneeding the bread. Kneeding it lots will develope the gluten allowing high rising breads. It's possible to over-kneed - but it _quite_ unlikely if you hand kneed! Then fold the towel over it and leave it alone for awhile, 20-40 minutes. This is called proofing. It is the final rise. If you use breadpans, do the proofing in the pan. It's safer - less chance of causing it to fall. Put your dutch oven (lid on) into the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes to get it good and hot. Pull it out, put the bread in... Be gentle handling the bread. If you are too rough, it will fall and you will bake a brick, not a loaf. ... put it back in the oven (lid on) for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes. You'll probably have to adjust cooking times, I've never tested but I think my oven runs hot. A hot oven will make the crust browner by the time the center is cooked. A cool oven will cause less crust browning, but take longer - thought not a lot. We have used exclusively home-baked bread for nearly 20 years. I learned a lot from my mother. She had been doing it for 30+ years when she taught me. Even after all these years, I still like to snag a slice or three (_thick_ slices) when it comes out of the oven!

We buy the flour (Hard white whole wheat and Vital wheat gluten flour) and yeast in 25 lb bags from Bob's Red Mill. This way we don't have to search the local stores for small quantities at high prices. It is stored in the chest freezer and decanted into 5 lb canisters or ziplock bags as needed. We use 1/2 cup of the gluten flour in each 3 loaf recipe, more if there is a lot of rye or other low gluten flour. We also add a half cup of soy flour for added protean to each recipe.

You can go really long distances (10+ miles) with regular wireless cards/transmitters with the proper directional antenna setups on each end, and a line of sight path. You'll need to make a cantenna on each end, and point them exactly at one another. One end should be connected to a router, and the other end to a wireless card on the laptop- you'll need to get both a router and wireless card that are designed to take an external antenna. By googling, you can find plans to build a cantenna, and if she's really ambitious she can use the cantenna as a feedhorn on a small parabolic digital satellite dish to get a REALLY high gain antenna. For a wireless card, I highly recommend the Rosewil RNX-G1W. It has windows/mac/linux drivers, costs about $15 on newegg, and takes an external antenna. It also has a very strong receiver/transmitter.

Re: [MBZ] Router help
I'll send that on to her Mitch I don't recall whether her laptop has a card or if the thing is internal. I figure she would be out of luck if it is internal.

Just about any outdoor antenna that she can stick on a pole and point down at the next trailer should do it, if she has an antenna jack on the wifi card and the proper extension cable.

Re: [MBZ] Router help
I wonder if the FCC cares what she does in Iraq? Some of our 802.11? stuff is not legal in parts of Europe for example - not sure whose rules apply in Iraq.
