This is the story of how Louisa remembers Indiana. It is a story of how they meet, and how they meet again, and how they speak, and speak again, and how things happen, and how they stop meeting. It's not all there, but this is some of it.
This is the trailer:
The film itself is here:
And the entire project can be found here:
There are various links to music and video throughout the document (and you can see the film within the first few pages of the document as well).
Overall I'm mostly happy with how things turned out. I'm ready to work on something different, though I'm just not sure what yet.
Many many many thanks to my actors Marjani Nairne and Sarah Vogelman! Couldn't have done it without them.

Kendrick Lamar and Chris Paul Talk Music and Sports with ESPN The Magazine
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014
Kendrick Lamar sat down with Chris Paul for the cover of ESPN The Magazine's Music Issue. The Grammy-nominated rapper and L.A. Clippers guard, who originally connected on Twitter, went one-on-one to discuss the relationship between music and sports.
While Kendrick is a diehard Lakers fan, he still has love for the Clippers. He also revealed that if he could have any job in sports, he would be a referee "'cause the referees get to be on the court with those players for every game."
"I can't play ball, so I'll be a referee," said Kendrick.
Chris, who listens to Kendrick's music to get pumped up for a game, admitted that he envies the Compton MC. "I play basketball and I love what I do, but when I went to Kendrick's show and saw him on that stage, I was envious. I'm envious of the audience he's able to touch," he said.
Chris shared his dreams of being a rapper (He once recorded a song to a No Limit beat) and Kendrick revealed his hoop dreams. "I got game on the court … I just didn't grow tall enough," said K-Dot.
The issue, which also features cover stars Nicki Minaj and Eminem, hits newsstands on Friday.

"I gave this a go based on simplicity. I questioned whether my two girls would like it or not but...I did a few things different, The chicken was thawed, I shredded the chicken after cooking and put it back in the pot for the last 30 minutes. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it was a HIT!! my girls loved it. I served it over egg noodles and al..."
"Very good meal for the whole family, I did substitute Velveeta for the cheese whiz, Very tasty. Highly recommended."
"Quick and Easy. I made them exactly to the recipe. They turned out light and fluffy. Next time I will use coarse grated cheese. The fine grated cheese kinda disapears once cooked. I will be saving this one to my book. Thanks."
"Made per recipe, Not bad but seemed to be missing something. Good overall."
"Very good, The wife and kids turned their noses up at it until they tasted it, Everyone thought it was very good. I will fix it again."
"This was a very simple, VERY good recipe. I made it almost exactly as called out, (I did forget the cream of mushroom soup) But it was still good."
"Simple, quick. Very good, I served it with basic minute rice.I made this pretty much as instructed. The only thing I did was add a bit of "corn starch" to thicken the sauce a bit. And I cooked it longer to soften the vegies for the kids."
"This was a very good recipe, Everything turned out great, I did not cut them in half I sliced them all up and dumped everything in a pan, I will use this from now on."

Cool-headed veterans know how to take care of business under tough conditions and that's exactly what the 30-year-old Florian Mayer did in his 7-5, 6-2, 62 victory over Polish up-and-comer Jerzy Janowicz in the third round.
The German was well aware Janowicz had recently returned from injury and had played two long matches coming into the contest, so he started steady and patient and only went for his shots when he had big openings.
After a competitive first set, Janowicz called for the trainer and was all but done, as he was too tired to go hard for balls out wide and he was schooled the rest of the way.
He did manage to rip 38 winners to 34 from Mayer, but committed a whopping 44 unforced errors to only seven from Mayer, which indicates excellent and clean play from the German.
Janowicz broke his foot during the off season and only returned to play last week in Sydney, where he looked unsure of himself and was blown out by Alex Dolgopolov.
He had little in the tank to fight Mayer after a long five-set win over Aussie Jordan Thompson and strenuous four-set win over Pablo Andujar in Melbourne.
"Whatever he would do today and whatever I would do today doesn't matter," Janowicz said. "I had no power to stay on the court. I felt like I'm gonna collapse soon. The biggest problem was I was unprepared. Doesn't matter whether it was tactic; doesn't matter if he was smart or I was stupid."
While the 20th-seeded Pole said the 41-degree heat bothered him, he added that wasn't the main reason he went down. He was still dripping rust.
"Most important was I didn't practise for two months," he said. "I just came to Sydney without absolutely any practice and I didn't have opportunity for to prepare myself for long matches. Still, I'm anyway happy I was able to go to this third round."

If you're looking for a laptop that you can use for long periods away from the mains, then look no further than this indefatigable Samsung R510.
The Samsung R510 lasted for just over four hours in our MobileMark 2007 battery test, which will last you through a good train journey, even with the inevitable delays.
The Samsung R510 is pretty quick too. A 2GHz Core 2 Duo T5750 and 3GB of DDR2 RAM helped it to grab a decent WorldBench 6 score of 80.
The Samsung R510also has a few treats in its feature set, including an HDMI output for connection to an HDTV, and a spacious 320GB hard drive, which isn't often found in the sub-£500 price bracket.
All the usual standard features you could want are provided too, including an 802.11b/g WiFi card, a dual-layer DVD burner, an SD card slot, a 56K modem and an ethernet port. Three USB 2.0 ports are included as well; one on the side for easy access and two more on the back of the Samsung R510.
The Samsung R510 looks good for the money, with its shiny black lid and classy silver and black. The lid feels solid, although the hinges aren't particularly tight - lift up the laptop and the lid starts closing. Meanwhile, typing on the keyboard feels natural, with a solid key-press mechanism.
It's not all good news, though. Disappointingly, there's no FireWire connection or S-Video output and the screen isn't amazing either. That's not to say that the Samsung R510has a bad screen; it's bright and sharp, but looks a bit washed out in comparison with some.

A sampling of folklife and cultural tourism projects in the U.S.
Case Study: South Carolina Heritage Corridor Tourism Projects
South Carolina Arts Commission
Craig Stinson, the folklorist at the South Carolina Arts Commission, has been building on the creative work which his predecessor, folklorist Lesley Williams, has done in imbedding folk arts projects within a heritage corridor now being developed in the state. Williams established a collaborative relationship for these tourism projects with the State Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (PRT) and with the McKissick Museum. She also established a steering committee of people working within the corridor, which included academics, traditional artists, PRT staff, and individuals from the heritage corridor regional boards.
The heritage corridor starts in the South Carolina Piedmont area near Clemson, goes down to the Georgia Coast, then up to Charleston. The corridor is divided into four regions, each of which has a local board. PRT has been working with these local boards to assess cultural resources. Williams received a National Endowment for the Arts infrastructure initiative grant to assist in this process by identifying and developing folklife tourism resources in regions 1 and 2 of the corridor. These funds allowed her to hire folklorist Sally Council to conduct primary research in these two areas. A local South Carolina group, the Piedmont Harmony Project, worked collaboratively with Council in the documentation of area musical traditions.
Plans include a discovery center in each region of the corridor that will explore nature, history, and contemporary culture through thematic interpretive frameworks. Darlene Roth, who holds a Ph.D. in American Civilization, has been hired to develop the thematic frameworks for the centers, working collaboratively with different local communities and organizations. Partners are now in the process of coming up with the interpretive themes for region 1 and are finding it to be a quite challenging process. An Atlanta firm has been hired to design the discovery centers, and they hired Janice Morrill, a folklorist and museum exhibit developer, to coordinate this process.
Stinson notes that Williams had embarked on this cultural tourism project because she saw it as a great opportunity to fund in-depth field research. Her original vision has been more than realized in that not only have traditions been identified, but organizations from eight of the counties that were surveyed have applied for funding through the South Carolina Arts Commission Folklife and Traditional Arts grant program.
An example of one application is the Greenwood Museum, which received funding for a documentary on local food traditions, in particular a locale in the region that serves hash. Stinson notes that often product-oriented grant proposals are not strong in their marketing plans, and he adds that knowing that the discovery centers will be in place as outlets for these projects has eased much of the apprehension about marketability.
The folklife grant program is new to the Arts Commission, and because of the work carried out through the infrastructure initiative, the grant requests have far exceeded the amounts available. This dilemma has enabled Stinson to ask for and receive an increase in the annual folklife grant budget for next year from $16,000 to $40,000.
Folklorist Douglas Day has been hired to do the field research in region 2 and is currently in the process of completing it. Day and Stinson are currently working to install an internet exhibit featuring this work under the domain name www.traditionalarts.org. The internet site, which is already up and running, also includes publications and grant deadlines. The site will also serve as a place where individuals or organizations can post event dates and the like. To involve as large a constituency as possible in the process of planning these various initiatives, Stinson has also created an internet listserv for those in folklife and related pursuits; the list began with 12 people and has now grown to 120.
The www.traditionalarts.org website will be up and running in Fall 2000 and will soon be managed under the auspices of a private non-profit folk arts state advocacy agency which is currently being established. Stinson is now developing a statewide organization named the South Carolina Traditional Arts Network; the group is now in the process of filing for 501(c)(3) status.
Stinson also convinced the South Carolina and North Carolina Folklore Societies to publish their newsletters jointly under the title "Folklore in the Carolinas." PRT has seen the newsletter and is very excited about the great potential involved in the possibility of working collaboratively on cultural tourism programs with their colleagues in North Carolina.
Stinson's idea since coming to the Arts Commission has been to build on Williams' work to develop an infrastructure around cultural tourism so that all aspects of the Arts Commission's Folklife and Traditional Arts Program, whether for tourists or for local communities, are working to reinforce and strengthen one another. For instance, the above-mentioned increase in the folklife grant budget was made possible by the Arts Commission's Institute for Community Scholars (ICS). Stinson notes that "our funds got increased because ICS participants at the grassroots working in the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor got in the applications. My theory, and I believe this is correct for Lesley [Williams] as well, is that it all has to work together or there's no point."

Going Dutch at the ThinkBike symposium
By John Greenfield
[This piece also runs in New City, www.newcity.com.]
On a balmy Wednesday morning, bike racks outside the Thompson Center are clogged with cycles. The drum-shaped building is nicknamed the "Tom Tom" by messengers who chill in the plaza while waiting for work. But today a cleaner-cut crowd has pedaled here in suits and skirts for the ThinkBike symposium, "a Dutch boost to Chicago's bike-ability." Naturally, the collection of cycles includes elegant Dutch city bikes and hardworking bakfiets ("box bike") cargo vehicles.
The workshops, sponsored by the Dutch Consulate General and Active Transportation Alliance, bring bike transportation specialists from the Netherlands together with their Chicago counterparts to brainstorm ways to make our city the Amsterdam of the Midwest. Rather than legalizing pot and prostitution, the goal is to bump our city's measly one-percent bicycle mode share closer to the utopian standards of Holland, where 27 percent of all trips are made on two wheels, and there are more cycles than citizens.
The visitors from the Netherlands are stylishly dressed in sports jackets and Beatle boots, and most of them are freakishly tall. In the afternoon these flying Dutchmen will pedal their fietsen around town with local politicians, transportation planners and bike advocates, discussing ways to create safer, more appealing streets for cycling.
Active Transportation Alliance's Adolfo Hernandez
Emcee Geoffrey Baer, host of WTTW's November 29 special "Biking the Boulevards," kicks off the session with a discussion of our town's rich bike history. "In the 1890s Chicago was the bicycle manufacturing capital of America," he says. "Two-thirds of American bicycles were made in the region." It turns out Richard J. Daley wasn't the first mayor to push pedaling here – in the 1897 mayoral campaign Carter H. Harrison II coasted to victory with the campaign slogan "Not a Champion Cyclist; But the Cyclist's Champion."
Hans Heinsbroek, Consul General of the Netherlands, takes the podium and boasts that his country has 13,000 kilometers of bike paths, tens times more than the total length of highways, noting "The bicycle is the cleanest, most sustainable form of urban transportation." Heinsbroek says Baer has asked him to read the guttural-sounding names of the other Dutch speakers. "Because, you know, Dutch is not a language but a throat disease."
Hans Voerknecht, a sustainable mobility consultant, contrasts American and Dutch attitudes towards biking and driving. While most while most kids in Holland bike to school, many U.S. principals forbid their students to pedal to class. "People say the car is the symbol of American freedom," he says. "But I don't feel free when I'm sitting in a cage, stuck in traffic."
Bike policy expert Arjen Jaarsma offers encouragement to Chicagoans who feel that promoting cycling is an uphill climb. He shows a graph illustrating how Dutch cycling dropped off sharply with the rise of car culture after World War II and has only recently recovered to its current levels, after lots of hard work.
Jaarma shows a YouTube video of shiny, happy people navigating the Dutch capital on two wheels and he points out that no one is wearing a helmet. "Bicycling is so normal and the infrastructure is so good there's no need for them." The clip features a bumping rap soundtrack: "Step on your pedals and listen to the mic / This is Amsterdam and this is my bike."

I awoke in a bed for the first time in days. My joints ached and my eyelids, which had been open for so long, now lay heavy as old hinges above my cheekbones. I wore two pieces of clothing: an assless gown and a plastic bracelet.
I remembered the hallway I had been wheeled down, and the doctor's office where I told the psychiatrist he was the devil, but not this room. I forced myself up and stumbled, grabbing the chair and the bathroom doorknob for balance. I made it to the toilet, then threw water on my face at the sink, staring into the mirror in the little lavatory. My tousled hair shot out around my puffy face; my head throbbed. I looked hungover.
In those first moments, I remembered the basics about what had landed me in the hospital: Some pseudo-philosophical ranting and flailing brought on by a poorly executed experiment to see how long I could last without sleep.
I was 18, in Italy, on a school-sponsored trip with that pompously misnamed group for American teens who earn As and Bs, the National Honor Society. I stayed up writing all night, and the next morning, on little more than impulse, I decided to go for it.
Why? There are a few layers of "why," and I will mine them later.
To this day, I am not sure how many consecutive nights I spent awake, but it was at least four. Espresso helped me keep going. So did furiously paced, illogical scribbling in a fat blue pocket notebook. As the sleepless days passed, I experienced the increasingly severe psychological effects common with extended sleep deprivation: I hallucinated, rambled, and lost focus. Toward the end of the ordeal, in New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, my body was giving out, too. While imposing a monologue on my biology teacher—who, I later learned, thought I was tripping on LSD—I blacked out and slumped mid-sentence. This happened more than once on my final day awake. Sleep specialists call these involuntary collapses "microsleeps." It's not hard to see why anybody—a high school chaperone, a parent, a doctor—might view a twitching, crumpling, babbling kid like me as some sort of nutcase. But what happened to me could happen to anyone who stays awake that long, voluntarily or otherwise.
Unlike other basic bodily functions, such as eating and breathing, we still do not fully understand why people need to sleep. There are theories—some think sleep may be the process by which the brain shuts down so it can store the day's memories. Others, like Dr. Joyce Walseben, a psychiatrist and the former director of Bellevue Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center, point to sleep's importance in regulating the body's hormones. But these theories are not complete.
"It may be the biggest open question in biology,'' Dr. Allan Rechtschaffen, a sleep expert and a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, told the New York Times in 2003. "While we sleep, we do not procreate, protect or nurture the young, gather food, earn money, write papers, etc.,'' he wrote.
Dr. Steven Feinsilver is a pulmonologist and sleep specialist who said that humans need, on average, seven and one quarter hours of sleep to stay healthy. "Now clearly like all biological things there are probably people who feel great on five hours, and they're really lucky, and some people who need nine hours, and they're not so lucky," Feinsilver said. "Whether you can train that to change, I don't know."
Sleep deprivation is nearly as misunderstood as sleep itself, but it can physically and mentally harm people in myriad ways. Losing sleep can cause hallucinations, psychosis, and long-term memory impairment. Some studies have linked sleep deprivation to chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and bipolar disorder. In 2003, neurologists at the University of Pennsylvania found that sleep deprivation over three consecutive nights (in the study, staying awake for 88 hours) as well as chronic sleep loss (in the study, four to six hours of sleep each night for 14 nights) seriously impaired cognitive functions in healthy adults. Also in 2003, Japanese researchers found that total sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure and has "profound" effects on the immune system.
In 1989, at the University of Chicago, researchers observed rats which died after being kept awake non-stop for several weeks. (According to a 2009 Slate article, specialists who have looked at the 1989 study dispute which effects of sleep deprivation ultimately killed the rats. It could have been hypothermia brought on by decreased body temperatures, illnesses that arose from damaged immune systems, or severe brain damage.) In July 2012, Chinese soccer fan Jiang Xiaoshan died after staying awake for 11 days to watch all of the European Football Championship. In August, a Bank of America intern died after three days of sleep deprivation.
Feinsilver directs the Center for Sleep Medicine at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He speaks precisely and often adds cheerful "maybes" and "I wonders" into his sentences, taking care to not overstate anything. More than 30 years ago, Feinsilver learned first-hand the toll that sleep deprivation can take. One autumn, when he was an intern in an intensive-care unit, he had to work through every other night for six straight weeks.

HTC Desire HD review
The Desire's successor finally lands but is it an improvement?
By Gareth Beavis from TechRadar
TechRadar's verdict
"We'd have to colour ourselves a little disappointed with the new HTC Desire HD - as a standalone phone it's excellent, but it has too many niggles to be considered the best in HTC's range."
- Super-slick UI
- Great browsing experience
- Dolby Mobile and SRS virtual surround sound
- Decent e-book reader
- Very easy to connect contacts
- Poor battery life
- No OLED screen
- Suspect build quality
- Video player needs overhauling
- HTCSense.com connectivity still has bugs

It's Christmas Eve. People are making wishes and cooking and welcoming guests and hugging each other and singing songs about snow and preparing to watch Home Alone all over again...
So I open my laptop for a while and there's our other writer, Tilion, who's all like "I just made this holiday animation." And I'm all like "Hey, do I know you?". And he's all like "I need you to write an article to put it in" and I'm all like "Who turned the lights purple?". And he's all like "It would be cooler if it was from the admin". And I'm all like "I'm an admin?". Turns out I am. How cool is that? Anyway, to the job.
We, the administrators, writers, translators and other unseen members of the site's team, wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May this year bring love, Guild Wars 2, peace and hope to all of us, especially those who need them most.

I have something really exciting to announce. My post the other day aboutmonetizing your blog was kind of the teaser for today's big announcement.
I mentioned in that post that I was going to start offering ad space on the side bar of my blog and I was seeking sponsors to fill the space. My first thought was to approach companies I've worked with and companies with products I would feel comfortable endorsing.
Then I started thinking about how often I get emails from other bloggers asking me how they can drive traffic to their site. The one thing I neverencourage them to do is to purchase advertising for their site. The main reason for that is because it is so expensive! When I first started out, I inquired about advertising on some bigger blogs and was shocked to be told that their advertising space would cost $250-$500 a month just for a 125×125 ad! Which immediately put advertising on other blogs out of my reach.
Forget about pay per click or pay per impressions ads, unless you really know what you are doing…it's like throwing money down the drain.
Other then winning ad space, it can be incredibly difficult to find affordable low cost ad space when you are starting out!
So for the month of April, I want to offer up 5 125×125 spots on my blog to 5 frugal bloggers for $10 each. You will pay just $10 to be shown on my sidebar for the entire month of April. I will also add you to my Google Reader and try to cross promote a few posts/articles from your blog throughout the month here on Family Friendly Frugality.
In the past 30 days, my site has received over 40,000 page views (a number that continues to grow exponentially each and every day!), and I would just love to pay a little of that forward!

UPDATE: Duke has confirmed that redshirt senior Andre Dawkins will return to the active roster in 2013-14 after redshirting the 2012-13 season.
Andre Dawkins ended speculation about his college basketball future Thursday when he Tweeted that he's "excited to say I will be part of the 2013-14 Duke men's basketball team."
A 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Chesapeake, Va., Dawkins redshirted this season while dealing with personal issues that have weighed on him since his younger sister Lacey was killed in a car wreck while driving to see him play during his freshman season.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said last summer that having Dawkins step away from the court and take the year off "was the right thing to do."
Since then, however, there has been doubt as to whether he would ever play for the Blue Devils again. As a fifth-year student who will get his bachelor's degree next month, Dawkins would have been eligible to transfer to another school and play right away without having to sit out another season.
But from the tone of his social media posts Thursday, his passion has been renewed and he is determined to finish his career at Duke with a flourish.
"This year was tough to be away but I feel like I have grown immensely off the court and am ready to come back and help the team win," he Tweeted.
"I want to get a fresh start and be a different player than I was. In October you will see a different Andre Dawkins."
Dawkins has experienced plenty of ups and downs since graduating from high school a year early to join the Blue Devils in 2009.
His key 3-pointer just before halftime helped Duke beat Baylor in the 2010 South Region final on the way to the national championship. He also scored 26 points against Michigan State in November 2011 to lead Krzyzewski to his record-setting 903rd career victory at Madison Square Garden.
But Dawkins has been just as prone to disappearing for long stretches of time. He made just three of his final 22 shots from the floor during the final six games of his junior season while finishing with averages of 8.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
As a symbol of his fresh start, the redshirt senior Tweeted that he plans to switch numbers from 20 to 34 in honor of his favorite NBA player and a respected former teammate.
"I have changed my number to 34 in part of my admiration of Ray Allen and all that he's done in his career primarily shooting the basketball … (and) in part of my admiration of Ryan Kelly. Thanks love him too."

Step-by-step guide
The Dore Programme generally lasts about a year and involves 10 minutes of special exercises, performed twice a day. For some, it's a bit longer, for others it can be as little as 6 months. That's because everyone is different, but, in every instance, we ensure the pace is right for you, by monitoring your progress and offering advice every step of the way..
Download your calendar here
Let's begin – initial assessment
It begins with an initial assessment at our Dore Centre, which will last about 3 hours. Firstly you'll see one of the friendly Dore Coaches who will take you through some simple, but important tests. You'll then see a Dore Consultant, frequently a doctor, who'll explain your test results, tell you how the Programme works and answer any questions you might have. Before you leave, one of our Dore Coaches will give you a Dore kit bag, introduce you to the exercises and show you how myDore works, your internet based guidance and coaching system.
Your kit bag will contain the following:
- Wobble board – to help stimulate and improve balance
- Bean bags – for eye-tracking and to help co-ordination
- Gym ball – moving support for some of your exercises
- Eye chart – gives you different things to focus on
With you all the way
Using this equipment, you must follow our precise exercise Programme, twice a day, for 10 minutes each session. Although we're with you every step of the way, Dore expects you to motivate yourself and drive your own success.
This continues until the end of 3 months, when you have your first follow-up appointment and you'll be re-tested to assess your progress. Your exercises will be adjusted accordingly until your 6 months appointment, when you'll be tested and assessed, once again.
We are the Champions
You will have further follow-ups after 9 and 12 months, which, for many, will be their final appointment. By now, most participants will have noticed significant improvement in their abilities, from reading and writing to concentration, coordination and social skills. Not to mention confidence. Others might need to continue for a while longer before they graduate as Dore Champions and receive their certificate.

Trademarks FAQs
How can I obtain state registration of a trademark?
You can usually obtain the protection of state trademark registration by applying for and paying a fee to the Secretary of State (or comparable office) in the state where you are using the trademark. However, federal registration provides more widespread notice to the public and in some cases, may supercede a filing at the state level. Federal registration also provides for greater benefits.

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
The Amped Wireless RTA15 is a decent Wi-Fi router, but better firmware is needed for it to live up to its high cost and our expectation.
Though not as innovative as it should be, the Linksys AC2400 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router E8350 is still a very good router thanks to its fast 5Ghz Wi-Fi performance and comparatively friendly pricing.
Amped Wireless will showcase its latest high-power Wi-Fi devices at CES 2014, including the RTA30 router and the REA33 Range Extender, both offering a combined Wi-Fi speed of up to 1900Mbps on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequency bands.
Venus exploration has been deemed off-limits due to its inhospitable climate -- but NASA believes Cloud City may be the answer.
CNET editor Dong Ngo picks the bottom five 802.11ac-enabled Wi-Fi routers. These are the ones to avoid when choosing a home router.
Though it's easy to use and having an extra band can result in higher speeds, the Linksys EA9200 doesn't have enough to justify its over-the-top price tag.
Despite the novelty of 802.11ac support, the Belkin AC 1200 is a mundane, though decent, Wi-Fi router.
Trendnet announces its latest router, the TEW-818DRU, which offers up to 1900Mbps combined Wi-Fi speed and sports a powerful 1GHz process plus USB 3.0 support.
D-Link announces a new 802.11ac model, the AC750 Wi-Fi Router (DIR-818W), that's available in four colors including red, teal, black, and white.
Linksys announces its next router in the Smart Wi-Fi EA series, the true dual-band EA6900, which offers a top combined speed of up to 1,900Mbps.

A name for those Indian peoples who make up the Koluschan linguistic family. They inhabit the islands and the coast of Canada and Alaska.
(YTB-497: dp. 345 (f.); 1. l00'0"; b. 25'0"; dr. l0'0"; s. 12 k. (tl.); cpl. 8; cl. Sassaba)
Tlingit (YTB-497)—a large harbor tug—was laid down on 15 December 1944 at Brooklyn, N.Y., by Ira S. Bushey & Sons; launched sometime early in 1945; and placed in service at the New York Navy Yard on 21 August 1945.
Few records of Tlingit's operations have survived; but, in September, she was at Coco Solo in the Canal Zone, en route to Hawaii. At Pearl Harbor, she replaced Nahasho (YTB-535), when—or shortly before —that tug was placed put of service in November. By the summer of 1946, Tlingit had moved to the Far East and qualified for the China service medal between 11 July 1946 and 20 June 1947. Following that tour of duty, she returned to the west coast; and, on 31 March 1948, she was placed out of service, in reserve.
The tug remained at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard until she was reactivated on 17 November 1950 for service in the 17th Naval District. She arrived in Kodiak, Alaska, in February 1951 and served there until May 1957 when she returned south to San Francisco. She served in the 12th Naval District for the remainder of her career. In February 1962, she was reclassified a medium harbor tug and became YTM-497. In June 1963, Tlingit was placed out of service and her name was struck from the Navy list.

Ready Check: You're fired, redux
Unfortunately, regular Ready Check author Michael Gray is a bit preoccupied this week. I've been told it has something to do with exploring lost pastafarian ruins that may lead to new information regarding raptor Jesus, but that may have just been a bad dream that I had. In the meantime, I am here to save you from all of your raiding woes. There's no case too big, no case too small -- when you need help, just give me a call!
Using my patent pending way-back machine, I want us all to travel back in time to November 2009 when Michael released this article dealing with how to terminate a raid member from your team. All of the information and advice in that column are still very relevant to this day; however, there is a small issue that Mr. Gray did not address at that time. I am, of course, talking about what to do when you have a raid member you wish to terminate, but feel that your guild is currently not capable of handling the loss.
It's the end of an expansion once again, and the same problems that plagued guilds during the months before The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King are hitting us all now. Raiding guilds by the dozen are finding their member rosters slowly trickling away. As Cataclysm draws ever nearer, many players are losing their interest in the raiding scene – at least temporarily. Recruitment is down across the board, and even some of the high-end guilds are having difficulties finding replacement raiders this late in the game. In such a system as this, it is very easy for any raiding guild to dissolve into anarchy. There isn't going to be another raiding tier released, there won't be another year's worth of content to explore and players are just generally losing interest in raiding.

Faster Internet Coming To The Corridor
CEDAR RAPIDS (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- Faster internet is coming to the Corridor. Mediacom announced Monday that it will offer a new broadband internet service, with speeds nearly three times faster than its previous top speed.
The new Mediacom Ultra 305 service will be available to residential customers in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, Bertram, Fairfax, and Toddville. The new service follows a multi-million-dollar investment into Mediacom's network, meant to bring faster speeds on updated technology.
With Ultra 305, customers will be able to download a high-quality 90-minute high-definition movie in about 52 seconds. The same file would take about 89 minutes to download with a standard 3 mbps speed.
