Splitting a USB Wi-Fi Device

My dad is trying to do something with his wi-fi that I’m not sure he can do so I’m going to present the situation to all of you and get your input. My dad is the pastor of a small church in rural Indiana. Their house is across the street from the church.

They have broadband Internet at the house and have it run into a wireless switch which they’re able to use successfully. His office is located across the street at the church. Luckily the office is on the front side of the church that’s closest to the house. They have a wi-fi antennae hooked up that grabs the wi-fi signal from the house and amplifies it and then sends it into the office via a USB cord.

They’ve gotten a USB splitting device that they’re trying to plug the antennae in on one end. Then run USB cables from his desktop and another computer into the splitter on the other end. Their challenge was that they needed a USB Male A to USB Male A adapter to get things to plugin correctly.

I still don’t think this setup will work because of the functionality of the USB and needing to register the devices separately. Does anyone have experience doing this type of thing?

Clear Out That Pantry with Left Over Chef

How many times have you been startled to realize just how late it was in the day and you haven’t thought about what’s going to happen for dinner? You don’t really have time, or perhaps the money, to run to the store and fix something, and you don’t want to spend the money to go out and eat.

What you need is a website that will let you put in the ingredients you have available and spit out a suggestion or two along with recipes on what you can fix. The LeftOver Chef website delivers exactly that service.

Use the online form to enter your main ingredients available and then add some of the other items you’ve got in the kitchen available to you. If you’ve got an idea of what you could fix, you can even include some keywords for what you think you want. Then just click "Find Recipes". How cool is that?

After putting in chicken, bacon, bread, bread crumbs and something else now I can’t remember, the LeftOver Chef website presented me with pages of options that might be available to me.

Uncover a great meal and in the meantime don’t go hungry and clean out your pantry with the LeftOver Chef website.

Work in Sports – Finding a Job Behind the Bench

I’ve got rejection letters from every NBA team packed away somewhere. I’m not sure if that’s something I should be proud of or should just not talk about. When I was wrapping up college my goal for employment was to work in PR or marketing for a professional sports team.

When I was finishing college though, the web wasn’t near what it is today and I didn’t have a nice resource like the Work In Sports website to help me find a job with a professional sports team.

Like most job search and employment sites you’d think of, the Work In Sports websites does all the gathering of jobs for you and presents them to you easily. Currently they list over 2000 jobs and internships on their website. You can search by job type like PR, marketing, sales, finance, facilities. At the same time you can narrow down to geographic area and whether or not you’re looking for full-time, part-time or an internship. I think it would be helpful to search by state, but I’m sure many states don’t have any jobs to list.

In order to apply for the jobs you must sign-up for a membership to the site. You can join under one of the following levels:

  • 1 week – $9.95
  • 4 weeks – $29.95
  • 3 months – $49.95
  • 6 months – $89.95

Many times these types of positions are very competitive compared to other "normal" jobs, so having an inside scoop could really help your efforts. If you’re looking to work in sports, then go uncover your next job lead at the Work In Sports website.
