MMORPGs, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, are fairly popular in the proprietary gaming world. Rather than playing a game all by yourself on a computer in your own dark room, you could be playing a game all by yourself on a computer in your own dark room---but against thousands of other people who play the same game on-line along with, or against, your character in the game, adding an intriguing social edge to the genre. Unfortunately, no such game currently exists in the free software world. Not yet, anyway.
Nevrax and Ryzom
In 2000, a French company called Nevrax set out to develop a MMORPG game, called Ryzom. Part of their toolkit, known as NeL, for Nevrax Library, is already available under the GPL. The company, however, has a dual-license policy which allows third-party proprietary developers to develop proprietary software based upon NeL (similar to how MySQL operates); and the Ryzom game itself is not free.
For a while, all went well. The game is rather popular amongst fans of the genre, as evidenced by the fact that it won the Reader's Choice for "Best Story" on the MMORPG.com website. One of the features is an editor that allows fans to easily develop their own little stories in the game, and have other players play them. An innovative idea, indeed.
But unfortunately for Nevrax, business is hard, and not even a successful product is a guarantee for a successful business. Today, Nevrax is filing for bankruptcy, and the product is up for sale. And this is where it gets interesting for free software advocates and enthusiasts.
The plan
A group of Nevrax employees has started the Free Ryzom campaign, which aims to buy the company's intellectual property. To do so, and to get the agreement from liquidators in charge of the bankruptcy proceedings, they need to raise €200.000, which is approximately US$260.000.
While this may sound like an awful lot of money, it really is not too unrealistic a number. Ryzom has a loyal fanbase, many of whom are glad to spend a little money if that means preserving the game they love. There are many free software enthusiasts out there who would be just as glad to spend a bit of money if that means a great piece of software will become free because of that. And it is not exactly without precedent, either; in 2002, Blender, a powerful and popular 3D editing and rendering engine, was made free software through a similar procedure in only seven weeks. And if that wasn't enough, as of this writing the Free Ryzom campaign has received pledges totalling €153.615, or more than 75% of the required amount of money, in part due to a US$60.000 pledge made by the Free Software Foundation.
Does it look as if the campaign will succeed in raising the required amount of money? Given the above numbers, I'd say yes. Unfortunately, raising €200.000 alone is not enough; the final decision will involve a number of other factors. Because this is a liquidation, there may be other bids for the company's assets, which may or may not be higher than the bid by the Free Ryzom campaign. The money has to be raised in time, before the end of the bankruptcy proceedings. If you would be willing to help this campaign by donating a bit of money, then doing so now would be best, as opposed to waiting a few weeks. Also, because of the uncertainty that is a normal part of the bankruptcy proceedings currently going on, and to avoid having to spend a whole lot of time and money trying to pay everyone back should the offer eventually not be accepted, you don't have to actually pay yet at this time; you only pledge to do so.
If you think free software has any actual meaning in this world, and you think that it's worth paying some money for, now would be a great time. Whether you play computer games, MMORPG or not, doesn't really matter; repeating the Blender success story would not only get us a free software MMORPG, it would also reaffirm to the business world that the free software movement is a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention the warm and fuzzy feeling you will get in your stomach that comes with doing a good deed.
And the rest? Well, I guess we'll see that in a few weeks...

Free MMORPG
"Unfortunately, no such game currently exists in the free software world. Not yet, anyway."
Actually there is a MMORPG called planeshift and it is free software. www.planeshift.it
Free MMORPG
"free software movement is a force to be reckoned with"
It makes you wonder how developers are going to make money by making their MMORPGs free. I'm not sure if planshift does this, but Shadow of Legend is a free mmorpg that will most likely make money by putting advertisments in the the game. I think WOW is starting to do this. Anyways, we'll have to wait until the final release is out to find out just HOW they do it.
Hrrm... seems like the html link isn't working. Here's the raw link if you want to learn more about how free mmorpgs are going to make money:
The game won't be free to play...
They are only purchasing the game code itself and the right to develop it. But they've maintained that even if they do meet their goal and acquire the game, the game play itself will not be free. They will still charge a monthly fee for upkeep and server maintenance of the game.
But there will be a lot of really free servers
See RO, or WoW, the diference is that the free servers would not be pirate as the WoW ones, and you could make your own server in your house and invite friends and they will invite new friends and you will be happy.
They are taking over an existing obligation, read the site!
They need to fulfill the obligation to existing customers by keeping the existing servers running. The idea seems ot be that commercial servers will continue running as long as people want to subscribe. They fully expect that free servers might also exist. There is no licensing arrangement to prevent it. So if you have a problem with comercial servers put your rysom server (on line) where your mouth is.
I have no complaint with this arrangement. Licensing this as GPL would not prevent people from making a business out of providing commercial games servers. This is the way GPL is ment to work. The idea is to prevent having a game server company from going under and thus removing any possibility of the customers being able to continue using the product they paid for. In this case the customer can begin providing a server if the continuation of the game is important to them. This does not mean that we must exclude comercial servers.
The intent was to make the code itself free; the servers would remain for-pay. But that's okay; free software doesn't necessarily mean 'free' as in 'beer'. If this was a problem, it should also be a problem for all those people out there who make a business by running websites on GNU/Linux.
Unfortunately, all this is moot now anyway, because the Free Ryzom campaign did not win the bid. But at least they tried
Client is an .exe?
Who is going to write the *nix client?
Perhaps the lack of such is the cause of bankruptcy?
That was part of the plan
There was no unix client yet, no; but part of the idea of making the hole thing free software in the first place was that so it could be ported more easily.
Planeshift is a scam
Planeshift.it is "free software", but it depends on non-free graphics and non-free text and non-free other stuff to make it work.
You could rip the code away from all the non-free stuff -- then you have a large amount of work to do, to reproduce this "free" game with a slight modification.
It's a scam. It's much more like the proprietary Ryzom -- it's a proprietary game, with a bit of free infrastructure inside it.
other free software mmorpg's
Here are some other mmorpg's that are free software such as:
Stendhal, using the free software Arianne framework
and a few others that I have forgotten
The ones above aren't modern in appearance, but it's worth watching linux gaming websites to learn more about them and others.

A study committee has suggested a compromise to Ashland city officials' proposal that money from Ashland parks be siphoned into the city's general fund to help pay for critical services.
City officials want to help bolster the general fund by taking a large chunk of the Ashland Parks and Recreation Department's reserves and ending a longstanding agreement that parks receive half of city property-tax revenue.
But a temporary committee set up to look at parks funding issues proposed that about half of parks' ending fund balance be used to create a special reserve fund for Lithia Park maintenance, repairs and improvements.
Committee member and parks Commissioner Stefani Seffinger said Lithia Park is Ashland's oldest park and has multiple maintenance needs.
"There are a great many projects that need to be done in Lithia Park," Seffinger said.
Ashland Citizens' Budget Committee members, who are in the midst of scrutinizing a the city's proposed biennial budget, were briefed on the compromise proposal Wednesday night.
They took no action, but said they wanted the Parks Commission to discuss the proposal. The commission next meets on May 20.
The Budget Committee will decide whether to approve the proposal when it meets to adopt a city budget and set the property tax rate for the next two years on May 22.

The Winter Weather Advisory and Wind Advisory posted for our region have been allowed to expire Friday evening.
Gusty winds will continue to effect travelers and motorists overnight, but the showshowers and winds are expected to die off. Wind chill will continue to be a factor, so anyone venturing outside will want to dress warmly.
Update: Friday 10 p.m. 12/21/2012
The High Wind Advisory and a Winter Weather Advisory continue for our region until 10 p.m. Friday evening. Roads will continue to be slick in places as snowfall continues sporadically with gusty winds to 35 m.p.h.
Update: 2pm Friday 12/21/12
The winter weather is creating a headache for some drivers already this morning.
The eastbound lane of Interstate 33 (west of Logan) is shut down due to an accident. Traffic is beginning to back up. Drivers are encouraged to take an alternate route.
Driving in winter can be dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken. The National Weather Service has these safety tips for motorists:
Driving safely on icy roads
1. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
3. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
4. Keep your lights and windshield clean.
5. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
6. Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
7. Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.
8. Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind.
9. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.
If your rear wheels skid...
1. Take your foot off the accelerator.
2. Steer in the direction you want the front wheels to go. If your rear wheels are sliding left, steer left. If they're sliding right, steer right.
3. If your rear wheels start sliding the other way as you recover, ease the steering wheel toward that side. You might have to steer left and right a few times to get your vehicle completely under control.
4. If you have standard brakes, pump them gently.
5. If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), do not pump the brakes. Apply steady pressure to the brakes. You will feel the brakes pulse - this is normal.
If your front wheels skid...
1. Take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral, but don't try to steer immediately.
2. As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle and traction will return. As it does, steer in the direction you want to go. Then put the transmission in "drive" or release the clutch, and accelerate gently.
If you get stuck...
1. Do not spin your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper.
2. Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way.
3. Use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out.
4. Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car.
5. Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction.
6. Try rocking the vehicle. (Check your owner's manual first - it can damage the transmission on some vehicles.) Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. Each time you're in gear, give a light touch on the gas until the vehicle gets going.
Updated Thursday 5pm 12-20-12:
A High Wind Advisory has been posted for the region due to strong gusty winds expected after 7 p.m. West winds of 15-25 mph may gust to 50 mph at times.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for overnight starting at 1 a.m. and also runing through 10 p.m.
A strong Low Pressure system moving through the central US today will track into our area later today. This system is an extremely large storm complex that will affect areas from the Canadian border in the North all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico in the South.
This low pressure system will have a warm front that will bring us rain and possibly a thunderstorm this afternoon with rainfall totals likely in the 0.25-0.50 inch range. As we will remain on the warm side of this storm complex, all precipitation this afternoon and before midnight will fall as rain. Winds will also increase in speed as this low pressure center moves east; wind gusts in excess of 30mph are expected today through tonight.
A strong cold front will follow this warm front later on this evening. Thunderstorms along this cold front have already brought strong damaging wind gusts and even tornadoes in the Southeast US this morning. We will also see strong winds gusts (gusts in the 40-45 mph range) and periods of heavy rain but tornadoes should not be a threat in the Mid Ohio Valley today or tonight.
After the passage of the cold front we will see a drastic drop in our air temperatures both at the surface and aloft in the atmosphere. This will set the stage for snow as we head into Friday morning and afternoon. Initially roads could become slick as temperatures dip below freezing and furthermore as our precipitation will switch from rain to snow. Please be aware of black ice and other slick spots even though accumulations will be light at first. Snowfall will increase in intensity as we head into the afternoon Friday as this large system will continue to bring in cold air and moisture from Canada and the Great Lakes.
Total accumulations from late tonight through midday Saturday will be around 1-2 inches here in SE Ohio and NW WV.
Fluffy snow combined with strong consistent wind gusts could make travel messy as blowing snow will decrease visibility considerably.
Areas in Southern WV are looking at a possible 4- 8 inches of snow, with areas in higher elevations (particularly above 3500 feet) are looking at 12 - 18 inches of snow possible through Saturday night.
Back here in the MOV, Saturday evening into the latter parts of your weekend we will see dry air and moderate High Pressure build in which should provide a calmer pattern as we head towards the holidays early next week. There will be a system that heads our way mid-week next week and I will keep you informed as that system develops and how it might affect your Christmas Day forecast and travel back home after the holidays.

SAN JOSE -- Outlining his goals for the coming year as president of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, Ken Yeager on Tuesday told a standing-room-only crowd he will continue to emphasize programs that elevate the health and safety of the county's residents -- including efforts to curb gun violence by reducing the number of firearms.
What Yeager called "the horrific, senseless shootings we have seen over the past year'' only serves to highlight the need to focus on gun violence, he said during his 30-minute State of the County address.
The supervisor stunned many of the 300 or so gathered inside the board chambers when he talked about monthly "armed prohibited persons'' reports compiled by the state Attorney General's office for local law enforcement agencies.
The program cross-references five databases to find people who have legally purchased handguns and registered assault weapons since 1996 with people who are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms. The county's most recent list reveals 529 people who have become ineligible to keep a gun because of felony convictions, restraining orders placed against them, or have been determined by a court to be a danger to themselves or others.
Yeager said the latest report indicates those individuals own 1,239 guns, 54 of which are assault weapons. He said he will work with Sheriff Laurie Smith and District Attorney Jeff Rosen to have those residents surrender their guns.
Smith told the Mercury News that her staff already has been engaged in this work since 2007. But, she said, "the list itself is not prima facie evidence -- there has to be an investigation into each one of these people on the list.''
Still, Smith noted that "given the recent events, this is now becoming a priority,'' and her department will be establishing teams to do the work on a more concerted basis.
Yeager didn't stop there: He also wants the county to create a gun buyback program that would allow county residents to voluntarily surround their firearms for cash -- no questions asked.
But the bulk of Yeager's speech continued to focus on health care, both the challenges the county faces in implementing national health care reform, as well as specific local initiatives aimed at preventive care. The latter is something he has championed over the years and for which he was recognized Tuesday by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy.
The board president proudly cited his track record, highlighting 12 key health and environmental objectives he'd proposed in 2010, when he was last board president -- all of which he said have been achieved since.
Among his best known victories: enacting the nation's first ordinance that prevents restaurants in unincorporated areas from using toys to lure kids to meals high in fat, sugar and calories; instituting comprehensive nutrition standards for food and beverages purchased, served or offered at county facilities and provided by the county; and banning smoking in apartment buildings in unincorporated areas of the county.
Yeager also pushed the county to ban single-use plastic bags in unincorporated areas and ensure that county-sponsored events reduce the amount of waste that's produced.
"He is unafraid of taking on vested interests, from tobacco to plastics,'' said Dennis King, executive director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Silicon Valley. "He's looked upon with some skepticism, but also with respect, and I'm assuming he'll accomplish what he sets out to do.''
Yeager also said he hopes to tackle many public health priorities identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as "winnable battles,'' including reducing teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, smoking and child obesity.
For example, he is working with the county's public health department to reduce the number of sweetened beverages kids drink. One solution Yeager pointed to is to use some funding from Measure B, the $548 million Santa Clara Valley Water District parcel tax voters approved in November, to install 250 "hydration stations'' -- special water fountains used to refill water bottles -- in local schools.
Yeager said his goals for 2013 are as ambitious, if not more so, than those in 2010.
But his top priority, Yeager said, is to make sure the county is prepared for three key health care reform goals by the time the national Affordable Care Act takes effect next year.
"We must measurably improve health outcomes, improve client satisfaction and lower the total cost of care,'' he said.
Yeager takes over the board presidency from embattled Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr., who is under investigation by both a state political watchdog agency and the District Attorney's office for not filing required campaign reports, as well as misusing his county credit card.
As the violations have been detailed in the media, Yeager has aggressively pushed to make sure Shirakawa reimburses the county for any inappropriate expenditures. On Tuesday, during the board meeting that preceded his State of the County address, Yeager asked that the county study imposing a penalty for late campaign finance reports for every day beyond the due date until the delinquent report is filed.
Yeager -- who was elected as supervisor in 2006 -- also announced that he intends to run for his third and final four-year term on the board in 2014; he had previously explored running for a seat in the State Assembly.
"There is very important work to be done here, and I would be honored to be part of the team that accomplishes it,'' he said.

HAYWARD -- Red-light cameras could be a thing of the past within two years.
Police are recommending that the cameras be phased out as contracts expire beginning next fall. The City Council will take up the matter at its Tuesday meeting.
Several cities have dropped red-light camera programs for a variety of reasons, including high cost and little or no evidence that they reduce accidents, according to the staff report.
"As these systems flourished across the nation, they became the subject of both praise and rancorous debates as to their legitimacy as safety tools and whether their usefulness in reducing crashes had taken a back seat to their potential for generating revenue," the report said.
Although Hayward's goal was traffic safety, not revenue, "the overall goal of reducing accidents has not been sustained," the report said.
Councilman Mark Salinas was more succinct. "Depending on who you ask, people either love them or hate them," he said.
Beginning in 2008, the cameras were installed at eight intersections where police reported higher rates of accidents caused by drivers running red lights: Industrial Parkway West and Huntwood Avenue; B and Second streets; West Winton Avenue and Hesperian Boulevard; West A Street and Hesperian; Industrial Parkway Southwest at Whipple Road; Mission Boulevard and Industrial Parkway; Santa Clara Avenue and Jackson Street; and West A Street and Interstate 880.
Only half of those intersections have seen any decrease in broadside collisions, which often result from red light-running, and three intersections actually had an increase in such accidents in the two years after cameras were installed.
Data on rear-end crashes tell a different story. All but three of the intersections in the system had increases in rear-end collisions, with B and Second rising 75 percent.
Salinas has been hearing from residents and commuters about the cameras since taking office. "Soon after I was elected, I got an email from someone who wanted the cameras, but they were upset when they got caught by one. They wanted the cameras, but for other people," he said.
The red-light cameras cost the city $962,976 annually. Revenue from tickets was highest in 2011, at $1.3 million. The amount dropped dramatically last year, but the staff report says some of that could be because of problems with Alameda County's revamped financial database and the possibility that the money wasn't credited properly. However, even if that is reconciled, it may be that the cameras are costing the city money.
"I wouldn't call them a cash cow," Salinas said.
Since the first camera was installed in 2008, 62,987 red-light camera citations have been issued. In 2012, almost 60 percent were for right-turn-on-red violations.
"While California law requires drivers to make a complete stop before turning right at a red light, right-turn violations are rarely involved as a factor in collisions," the report said.
As part of the study of the effectiveness of the cameras, in 2011 Hayward went back to old-fashioned policing, handing out tickets at the five intersections with the highest number of accidents. Almost immediately, collisions dropped 35 percent.
"People pay attention and respond differently when they see an officer on a motorcycle or a car," Salinas said.

When: 7 p.m. Tuesday

OAKLAND -- There's only so much Sean Doolittle to go around. Manager Bob Melvin has to pick his spot, depending upon the situation. On Wednesday, Doolittle was targeted to pitch the ninth inning for the A's.
That left the eighth inning to Fernando Abad and Luke Gregerson. By the time the inning ended, the Chicago White Sox had turned a one-run deficit into a two-run lead.
As it turned out, Melvin never got a chance to summon relief ace Doolittle as the White Sox closed out the 4-2 victory and avoided a three-game sweep.
Oakland's season-high six-game win streak ended in what has become an all-too-familiar fashion the first quarter of this season.
The A's lost for the fifth time in only 41 games when they led after seven innings. They had six such losses all last season.
"It's a tough game," Gregerson said. "It's funny, you can get any guys out at certain times. Sometimes you make great pitches and a guy hits a ball."
In this case, Jose Abreu blasted a Gregerson fastball off the facade of the second deck in left field for a game-deciding, three-run home run.
Melvin is quick to defend his relievers and even quicker to give Abreu credit for pouncing on a pitch that strayed from the desired location.
"He got a pitch in the middle of the plate to a really good hitter who's hot," Melvin said.
All series long, A's pitchers worked inside to Abreu in an attempt to keep him from getting his arms extended and making solid contact.
Starter Tommy Milone struck out Abreu twice and induced a fly ball to center. Gregerson tried the same approach, with runners on first and third and one out.
It worked well the first pitch. Abreu turned on the second pitch and launched it over the fence for his major league-leading 15th home run.
"He's something special, it seems like," Milone said. "Any mistake you throw to him, it seems like he's going to hit a home run. He's just one of those guys you got to be real careful."
Abreu is only the fourth player in history with as many as 15 home runs in his first 42 major league games.
"You try to throw him pitches that aren't around the strike zone and make him fish, which he definitely does," Gregerson said. "I don't think it necessarily was a bad pitch. It was just something he was ready for, he was looking for it.
"We've been doing it to him the whole series, pound him in. It just stayed up a little too much. Any other day it could be a ground out to third base, we get a double play."
Gregerson's blown save is the eighth of the season for the A's relievers. That is tied with the Houston Astros for most in the league.
The blown save also cost Milone a shot at his second win of the season. Milone allowed a home run on his first pitch of the game, but he pitched six innings without further damage.
Milone settled down after his initial hiccup and picked up where he left off in his previous start, when he held the Washington Nationals to no runs and five base runners over eight innings.
"Tommy the last two times out has been as good as we've seen him over the last couple of years," Melvin said.

A gender has been established for the remains of a person discovered in Camelot Estates over the weekend. A person of interest has been taken into custody.
According to Camden County Sheriff's Department, the body discovered in Camelot Estates on Sunday, Sept. 15 has been confirmed as a female. Positive identification will have to be done by DNA analysis as the body was severely decomposed. Samples from the body have been sent to a laboratory in Texas for the extraction of DNA to be compared with known samples.
Investigators believe the body to be that of the woman who rented the home in Camelot. On the evening of Sept. 17, detectives from the Camden County Sheriff's Office, in cooperation with the Eldon Police, Jefferson City Police, and the United States Marshals Service arrested a person of interest on unrelated outstanding warrants. Jamison D. Shelton, 30, of no fixed address, was taken into custody without incident at a Jefferson City motel. Shelton is a known associate and recent roommate of the tenant of the Camelot residence.
The investigation is ongoing and further information will be released when available. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Sergeant Chris Moehle at the Camden County Sheriff's Office 573-346-2243.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Butterbur for Migraines
Petasites hybridus plant extract,
known as butterbur, has been used for years to prevent
migraine headaches. Studies show it is effective at
reducing the frequency of migraines.footnote 1
Experts are not sure what causes migraines or how butterbur helps to prevent them. But some
research suggests that it may prevent swelling and relieve pressure on the
blood vessels. Another theory is that it may affect calcium channels, which
experts also believe may be related to migraines. More research is needed to
find out how butterbur helps prevent migraines.
Butterbur is available as a supplement (tablet or capsule). It is marketed under the brand name Petadolex. It is important
to find butterbur that has been standardized (which means you receive the same
amount of active ingredient in every dose) with guaranteed potency. Do not
consume butterbur from the plant itself because it has toxic properties, which
are removed in the standardized supplement.
Some people may
experience stomach upset, including gas, when they take butterbur. It is not
recommended for young children or for women who are pregnant or
Be sure to tell your doctor before you take
butterbur. Like any drug, it can interact with other medicines you are
taking or affect your health in ways you may not be aware of.

If you don't know what Port Forwarding is yet, you might want to start by reading our What is Port Forwarding guide.
You might also be interested in our huge collection of Router Screenshots where you can see every page of every router that we know of.
To setup port forwarding on the SMC 7004BR router your device needs to have a static IP address. You should complete one of the following steps first:
Now that you have setup a Static IP Address on your device, please enter the IP address that you assigned to your device here:
Now we need to know your routers IP address. You can find it a variety of ways.
It's ok if you don't know your SMC 7004BR router's internal IP address. You can find it by doing one of the following:
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your SMC 7004BR router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.123.254.
You should see a box prompting you for your SMC 7004BR password. Enter the password now.
Click the Log in button to log in to your SMC 7004BR router.
Please visit our Default SMC Router Passwords page if the username and password shown below did not work for you.
If you can't login to your router because you forgot your SMC 7004BR router password, use our How to Reset a Router Password guide to set your SMC 7004BR router back to its factory settings.
If you are having trouble with this guide, then perhaps PFConfig may be your solution. PFConfig is a software tool that will automatically forward ports for your router to save you time and hassle.
Before we can forward ports, we need to do a little configuration. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up your thermostat's Configuration page.
On this page you need to change the HTTP Port to 81, and ASCII Port to 10001. For every additional thermostat you'll want to increase each number by one. So thermostat #1 would be ports 81 and 10001, thermostat #2 would be ports 82 and 10002, thermostat #3 would be ports 83 and 10003, ect.
Once you've finished configuring things, go ahead and click the Save & Reboot button to save things. After you have finished saving and rebooting, you will need to log in to your thermostat again.
Now that you are logged in to your SMC 7004BR router you should see the following:
Click the Virtual Server link near the left of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Network Thermostat RP32-WIFI requires you to forward the following ports: 81,10001. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Server menu.
|Service Ports
|Server IP
You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Virtual Server page. Go ahead and enter those settings now.
|Service Ports
|Server IP
When you're finished, click Save near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.
And that's it! You're done!
Now that you have forwarded ports for Network Thermostat RP32-WIFI on the SMC 7004BR you should test to see if your ports are forwarded correctly.
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Open Port Check tool. Our Open Port Check tool is the only online port checking tool with Guaranteed Results.

So i have started to watch higher quality files, but i find that when they are AC3 the centre channel is too low and turning up my tv's volume only makes it worse when it goes from quiet talking to a loud scene change or any kind of action.
Btw this is more mac oriented cuz i believe there are ways to fix this on windows. In quicktime 7 pro there was a menu that let u assign the channels from an ac3 file to physical channels i.e. i could assign the talking centre channel to left and leave right as right - sure u lose the surround effect but if you only have tv speakers or a stereo setup this would be a great feature - on any platform.
Now having said that i haven't been up to date on these matters for 5 or six years, when i was encoding and stuff there was no h264 to speak of and i used windows. i've been on mac for 6 years and its always something that has frustrated me: the lack of control over ac3 (or any codec for that matter).
If this is not a good suggestion i'd love it if someone could point me towards a similar discussion or maybe more info on the matter.

Nine-year-old Kyle Cannon exclaimed from well into the center of the frozen Green Mountain Reservoir that he'd caught his first "ice fish."
He'd been out a handful of times previously, but never had the fish been biting the way they were Sunday at the lake that spreads out at the feet of the Gore Range. His father, Ed Cannon, woke Kyle before the sun rose in Littleton to load him, the electric auger and their fishing gear into the truck to beat Denver ski traffic to Summit County.
Instead of heading to the slopes, though, the Cannons and their friend, Chris Trujillo, peeled off Interstate 70 at Silverthorne and headed north. They would spend the day in the sunshine, perched on stools that sat next to 10-inch holes in the ice. Tiny fishing poles in hand, they began fishing by about 8 a.m., and Kyle Cannon had his first ice fish by about noon.
"It took courage. And patience," he said, pulling it from a mound of snow nearby. "I could have gone ice skating today. But what I say is, ice skating gives me a sore butt and ice fishing gets me a nice dinner."
He started scraping the snow away from the mound to uncover enough frozen fish to make fish tacos that night as well as bake or smoke some for later.
"They're really good," Ed Cannon said. "They're real pink on the inside. The poor man's salmon."
When you think ice fishing, most think of a mess of shanty-town shelters filled with men bundled in winter gear to withstand the cold. Not so on Sunday, a day where temperatures were well above freezing, the sun blazed bright and there was little to no breeze. Though now wearing a sweatshirt and heavy fleece camouflage pants, Trujillo said he'd been in a T-shirt shortly before noon.
For him, all conditions are suitable as long as he's fishing. Trujillo grew up in Minturn and has been coming to the High Country to ice fish for years. He said he's always had good luck at Green Mountain Reservoir - and caught a 34-inch, 26-pound trophy fish there. Ed Cannon started about five years ago, and only recently began bringing his son along.
"It's good to take kids fishing any time you can" to pass along the passion, Trujillo said.
As he listened and chimed in occasionally, Trujillo's line went taut. Kyle Cannon ran to where he sat and Trujillo handed over the line to let him reel it in. The line extends roughly 50 feet to the bottom of the lake, where lake trout swim, so it took Kyle Cannon some time to drag the fish to the surface. It hardly hit the air before it let go of the glow-in-the-dark rubber squid-like bait and flopped onto the ice. Kyle Cannon maneuvered the squirming fish to the mound, where it tried to swim into the ice as the youngster tossed fresh snow on top.
"I was trying to catch one while you guys were here," Trujillo said, smiling and getting up from his stool. Trujillo likes fishing so much that it's not always about having something scrumptious to celebrate a day out on the ice. Often, he releases his catch in favor of letting fish grow. Currently at Green Mountain Reservoir, though, the lake trout limit is eight fish per fishermen to help the envied stocked kokanee salmon populations thrive.
"All the fish we caught today are worth sitting in traffic on the way home," Ed Cannon said, explaining that the threesome planned to enjoy every last bit of the extended daylight rather than leave at 1 or 2 p.m. to beat traffic.
"It's hard to beat a day out here like this - it's so nice," Ed Cannon said. "This is a good time to have regular conversation, and when you're sitting there by yourself, take the time to think about all your thoughts."
Against the expanse of white, surrounded by nothing but quiet and a faint rumble of cars meandering down Highway 9, Kyle Cannon paused before called over to his father at the next auger hole.
"I'm glad I came today, Dad. Today, the fish are really good," he said.

Shanequa Carpenter was a mother of three. She was only 24-years-old when she was killed. Ernest Bussey has already admitted to the murder and is serving a life sentence. Co-defendant Cardale Gibbons was also charged with Carpenter's murder. But Gibbons' trial on Wednesday took a turn when he entered a plea agreement on certain charges.
Leverne Henderson can't stop thinking about her only child being carried out of a field in a body bag.
"The memory that I still have of them taking her body out of the field when they found her, I still have that memory of seeing that on the news," Henderson said.
It was June 2004. 24-year-old Shanequa Carpenter went to the store with her two kids. She stopped by the home of Ernest Bussey, a former acquaintance who's admitted to strangling her, something her children did not see but heard.
"The 4-year-old all he could say is that he heard his momma crying and he tried to open the door," Henderson said.
After the murder, Bussey recruited Cardale Gibbons and then 15-year-old Abdiel Acevedo to dump and burn the body and get rid of the car and the two kids. The children were later found wandering near a busy stretch of highway.
At Wednesday's trial of Cardale Gibbons, the family received no answers as to why Shanequa was killed.
"No answers, I haven't got no answers yet, nobody want to give any," said Alice Carpenter, Shanequa's grandmother.
Gibbons originally plead guilty to 10 counts including malice, murder and kidnapping. And while he plead guilty to only three of those counts on Wednesday, he says he is not guilty of murder. He admits to concealing Carpenter's death and two counts of cruelty to children. Judge Wheale asked why did he help get rid of the body and then burn it.
"I was confused. I didn't know what to do," Gibbons said.
In exchange for his signed plea agreement, Judge Wheale sentenced Gibbons to 12 years. And although Shanequa's family says justice has been served, the pain continues.
"I prayed hard all the time for this. I know it ain't gone be no closure because as I said we got a life sentence," Carpenter said.
Ernest Bussey is serving a life sentence for the murder of Shanequa Carpenter. Cardale Gibbons was sentenced to 12 years for his role after the murder. Then 15-year-old Abdiel Acevedo was sentenced in juvenile court. He was in court on Wednesday sitting with the family of Shanequa Carpenter.

Protection From Gun Violence
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:58 a.m.
Wayne LaPierre, NRA president, says that the only way Americans can protect themselves from gun violence is to arm themselves.
There are two other ways that were available to Nancy Lanza. She could have gotten rid of her guns — or at least stored them at the shooting range — and she could have provided psychotherapy for her son. If she had done both, she and 26 others would probably be living today.

Almost a year after talks began, Eagle County is still exploring options for relocating or reorganizing a 15-acre rest area in Edwards.
The Colorado Department of Transportation owns the property and has indicated it is OK with the idea as long as the same number of truck parking spaces and services are available between Dotsero and Vail Pass. The county has been looking at potential sites to relocate the rest area, which would likely be done with a land swap or outright purchase.
Commissioner Jon Stavney has said that the roundabouts in Edwards have made the current location less convenient for truckers and that there might be a better use for that land and a better place or places for the rest area facilities.
"It's a prime spot in the middle of Edwards," he said. "There's a nice river corridor there. Most people in our community have never set foot on that property - I would invite them to see it for themselves and imagine what it could be."
Eagle County Engineer Eva Wilson met with the commissioners Tuesday and updated them about the latest findings for rest area possibilities.
"We did some investigating with CDOT and community leaders to see if any community would entertain a truck stop," Wilson said. "No one will."
The county fairgrounds in Eagle was one of the options considered.
Wilson said Wilmore Lake and New York Mountain Overlook areas are right on the Interstate 70 and are potential choices for truck parking but access geometry will be difficult and the lack of amenities is a concern.
"The best option might be to reorganize the Edwards rest area," she said.
The challenge will be compensating truck parking spaces and some CDOT employee housing. To do away with the rest area services, the county will have to demonstrate those services are provided by businesses nearby.
That conversation will likely be rolled into the Edwards master plan process about to get under way. In that case, the Edwards Community Authority would hire a planner to work with county planning staff. As the county staff focuses on the regional master plan, the ECA planner would work on the rest area site.

A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop esophageal cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing esophageal cancer. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your healthcare provider what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for esophageal cancer include the following:
Moderate smoking, by itself, does not greatly increase the risk of esophageal cancer, but it does promote many other diseases including several other cancers. Heavy smoking , particularly of black tobacco, a term of interest primarily to pipe smokers, at least doubles your risk of esophageal cancer.
Alcohol intake greatly increases your risk of esophageal cancer, depending upon the strength of the drink (beer less, whiskey more). Combined with smoking, the risks are multiplied.
The combined effect of heavy alcohol consumption and black-tobacco smoke has been shown to multiply the risk of esophageal cancer much more than using either alone.
Eating or drinking substances that can be directly damaging to the esophagus can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Such irritants include the following:
Exposure to other esophageal irritants can also increase your risk. These include radiation and smoked opioids , such as an opium pipe.
Certain medical conditions can increase your risk of esophageal cancer.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—This occurs when gastric acid, food, and liquid from the stomach chronically flow up into the esophagus. GERD causes a 40-fold increase in the risk of adenocarcinoma.
Barrett's esophagus —Barrett's esophagus occurs when the squamous cells in the lower esophagus are exposed to acid from the stomach due to acid reflux. The acid causes the cells to change from squamous cells, which are flat, to cells shaped like columns. These column-shaped cells are the hallmark of Barrett's esophagus and can eventually become an adenocarcinoma.
Achalasia —This is a relatively rare disorder of the smooth muscle of the esophagus that makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass through the esophagus and into the stomach. Achalasia causes a 15-fold increase in cancer risk, most likely due to the irritation from food retained in the esophagus.
Nutrient deficiencies —Being deficient in folic acid , vitamins A and C, and riboflavin , molybdenum, and selenium increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
Obesity —Obesity is associated with a higher risk of adenocarcinoma.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection—HPV can cause normal cells to become abnormal. HPV infection has been linked to increased risk of several cancers. There is increasing evidence that HPV infection may play a role in esophageal cancer risk as well.

Changing expectations in schools
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 11:25 p.m.
We have changed for the better, but further improvement is necessary.
For generations, Louisiana's students were free to learn — or not — in public schools with no real repercussions for the teachers, schools or districts.
All that started to change in the 1990s, when then-Gov. Mike Foster oversaw a sweeping overhaul of the state's education system.
A cornerstone of the new system of school accountability were the standardized tests that would measure the yearly progress of every student in the state.
Those tests would tell anyone interested in finding out how well students were doing at the district level, at the school level and even at the class level.
And parents could know exactly how well their youngsters were progressing from year to year.
The current system is a vast improvement over the old, but there is yet some room for growth.
One area that is ripe for that growth is in the type of testing we do on our students.
The system in place now primarily uses multiple-choice tests to gauge student accomplishment, an approach that has some merit but whose shortcomings leave some areas for improvement.
"We're not talking about more tests. We're talking about tests that are going to be a little more difficult," said state Superintendent John White. "They're going to call our students to a higher level of rigor, and they're going to call our teachers to a different type of teaching."
That should be welcome news to anyone with a stake in the education system, from teachers to administrators to parents to taxpayers. We all have a lot on the line depending on how well our schools accomplish their task of education.
Rather than the rote responses favored by the current system, the new testing regimen will be a better measure of comprehension, White said.
It will also put Louisiana in line with 47 other states that have adopted "Common Core" standards against which students' progress is measured.
While there is every reason to believe a more rigorous testing system will turn out better results in the long run by more accurately measuring student learning, there are likely to be some growing pains as students and teachers adjust.
The state is taking three years to move to the new system, time that will be important in changing attitudes and procedures to embrace the new, better system.
The current system is worlds better than the old system, which required little in terms of measurement. The new system should be a similar improvement over the current one.
We have come a long way, but there is a long way yet to go. Louisiana's schools should benefit immensely once again from this improvement.

Cheer for Germany in this official home jersey from adidas.
Germany's national team is a strong source of national pride, a passion that is captured in this jersey's design. Inspired by the brilliance and efficiency of German engineering, this classic jersey is sure to be in fans' closets for years to come.
V-neck ClimaCool jersey features adidas' logo front, with Germany's federation crest and three championship stars.
Unsere Nationalmannschaft, "our national team', is printed under the back collar.
Transparent tape on the sides further subtracts from the jersey's weight.
Each of adidas' 2014 federation jerseys has an iconic band across the shoulders to signify unity. These revolutionary kits are the lightest that adidas has ever designed.
100% polyester.
NOTE: Tight fit, which means any jersey classified as Authentic will run small. The authentic is the actual piece that is worn on field. The authentic uses a performance cut for a snug fit. It has a bonded crest. The authentic also features upgraded materials. The upgraded, technologically advanced materials on the authentic jersey will result in a lighter weight.
Due to national team selection process, we cannot guarantee that this player is going to wear this number, or that he will play in Brazil until the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ squads are confirmed later this year.

EXCLUSIVE: Deadpool Dons the Venom Symbiote in "Back In Black" #1 First Look
Comic Books
It seems the next class of hot Marvel creators is rising faster than the publisher can slap on a moniker like "Young Guns," "Terrific Tens" or "Architects." Part of that group is Portland, Oregon-based writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. She recently launched the longtime Marvel heroine Carol Danvers, aka Ms. Marvel, in Captain Marvel, and she recently took over Avengers Assemble from Marvel's de facto chief writer Brian Michael Bendis. In addition, Dark Horse recently enlisted DeConnick to revive and revitalize its superhero pulp series Ghost, and she has her first creator-owned series in the works: Pretty Deadly, with her Osborn collaborator Emma Rios.
I've known about DeConnick peripherally for almost a decade now, reading her posts on the classic Warren Ellis Forum in the early '00s, years before she got into comics. She's shown herself to to have a remarkable wit in her comics and in interviews, and a real sense for action without losing heart in works like Captain Marvel and the short Black Widow story she created with Jamie McKelvie inside Enter The Heroic Age. Although 2012 seems like her biggest year yet, it feels as if she's on the precipice of something larger still. In my conversation with DeConnick, she was refreshingly upfront and revealing about riding the waves of life as a comics writer, and showed off a rarely seen side of what its like to be a comics creator.

Sally A. Brown is Princeton Seminary's Elizabeth M. Engle Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship. She has an M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary. An ordained Presbyterian minister with more than 20 years of parish and other pastoral experience prior to beginning her academic career, she continues to teach and preach in local congregations. Her academic interests include the theology and rhetoric of the cross in contemporary preaching, with attention to issues raised by feminist theology and postmodern theories of discourse. Major publications include Cross Talk: Preaching Redemption Here and Now (Westminster John Knox Press, 2008) and Lament: Reclaiming Practices in Pulpit, Pew, and Public Square (Westminster John Knox Press, 2005).Topics for lecture and roundtables: "Sunday's Sermon for Monday's World: Preaching to Shape a Practicing Church."
Carolyn "Care" Crawford is pastor of congregational life at Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, where she has served for 22 years. She graduated from Princeton Seminary in 1982 and 1984 with M.Div. and Th.M. degrees respectively. She speaks frequently at retreats and conferences in areas of spiritual formation, grief and loss, and care-giving, and is a certified spiritual director trainer. Topics for roundtables: "Models for spiritual formation to center and transform a pastor's heart." From the early Desert Fathers and Mothers and throughout church history, we are given some great examples for a contemplative and reflective journey with Jesus Christ, a journey that we sometimes neglect as busy pastors and Christians. My own experience in training to become a spiritual director and teaching on the faculty of an organization for spiritual formation and direction changed my pastoral and programmatic ministry, and my inward journey as well. Join me as we explore some of the exercises and invitations from ancient of days and current practices if you need refreshment for your soul… that "Christ be formed in you." Gal. 4:19
Gordon Graham, Princeton Theological Seminary's Henry Luce III Professor of Philosophy and the Arts, earned M.A. degrees from the University of St. Andrews and the University of Durham, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Durham. He is an ordained Anglican priest, and his areas of academic interest include aesthetics, moral philosophy, philosophy of religion, and the Scottish philosophical tradition. His courses include "Philosophy and the Arts" and "Political Philosophy and Public Theology." Major publications include Theories of Ethics (Routledge, 2011) and The Re-enchantment of the World: Art versus Religion (Oxford University Press, paperback 2010).Topics for lecture and roundtables: "Art and the Christian Faith"We will explore relations between the world of art and the Christian faith. Though widely regarded as natural partners nowadays, the Reformed tradition has more often thought of the arts as spiritual rivals than spiritual allies. Should modern Christians regard the arts with enthusiasm or with caution?
Darrell Guder is Princeton Theological Seminary's Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Hamburg. As an ordained Presbyterian minister, he served as a student outreach pastor and as a faculty member of the Karlshohe College in the German Lutheran Church. His writing and teaching focus on the theology of the missional church, especially the theological implications of the paradigm shift to post-Christendom as the context for Christian mission in the West. Major publications include Exhibition of the Kingdom of Heaven to the World (Witherspoon Press, 2007) and The Continuing Conversion of the Church: Evangelization as the Heart of Ministry (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2000).Topics for lecture and roundtables: "The Missional Challenges of the End of Christendom in the West"
Richard Nyberg is a 1976 M.Div. graduate of Princeton Seminary, and also has an M.S.W. degree from Rutgers University. He has maintained a 30-year counseling practice that offers clinical, consultative, and coaching services and provides counseling and life coaching services to thousands of clients. He is the founder of OUTCOMES Counseling and Coaching Services, and serves as a consultant to businesses in a wide range of executive coaching, organizational development, and employee assistance areas.Topics for roundtables: "Men of God: Toward a Masculine Approach to Spiritual Awakening"The presentation and discussion will focus on the subject of men and spirituality. We will address the question of whether there is a distinctive way by which men approach a genuine interest in God and also consider together the developmental obstacles unique to men that can complicate that process.
Choon-Leong Seow, Princeton Seminary's Henry Snyder Gehman Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature, earned his M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary and his Ph.D. in Near Eastern languages and civilizations from Harvard University. Leong Seow also serves as director of the Seminary's Asian American Studies Program. An ordained Presbyterian ruling elder, he specializes in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, and the history of ancient Israelite religion. Major publications include Hebrew Inscriptions: Texts from the Biblical Period of the Monarchy, with F.W. Dobbs-Allsopp and J.J.M. Roberts (Yale University Press, 2004) and Ecclesiastes, A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary, Anchor Bible 18c. (Doubleday, 1997).Topics for lecture and roundtables: "Lessons from the Book of Job"Various topics will be presented and discussed, including Job's wife, reading the Book of Job theologically, and Job through the eyes of artists.
Martin Tel, Princeton Seminary's C.F. Seabrook Director of Music, earned an M.Mus. from the University of Notre Dame, an M.A. from Calvin Theological Seminary, and a D.M.A. from the University of Kansas. He is interested in congregational singing and the Psalter and his courses cover musical resources for the congregation, the Psalms in worship, and the philosophy of church music. He is currently serving on the bi-denominational hymnal committee for the Christian Reformed Church and the Reformed Church in America. He recently served as senior editor for Psalms for All Seasons: A Complete Psalter for Worship (CICW/Faith Alive/Brazos Press, 2012).Topics for roundtables: We will explore the psalter as source for liturgical and sung prayer. Though most Christians profess a love for the book of Psalms, a quick pass over the entire psalter reveals many psalms that we either are unfamiliar with or consciously avoid. What does the full spectrum of voices in the psalter teach us about the way God wishes for us to pray, both as individuals and as the church? Using the newly published psalter Psalms for All Seasons, we will explore how the full spectrum of psalms can be liturgically and musically re-presented so that their meaning become more clear and our prayers become more honest.
Charlene Han Powell, the conference worship leader, is associate pastor for Christian education at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. There she is responsible for overseeing adult education, family ministries, and the young adult program. Before earning her M.Div. at PTS, she studied at the University of California,San Diego, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in religion with a minor in dance. She has also done intensive language training at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

STOCKTON – Stockton Police officers used a taser and a baton to subdue a man who they say battered two clients of an adult care home in the 2100 block of Pisa Circle Thursday afternoon.
Nathaniel Encalade Jr., 35, was arrested on suspicion of battery and resisting arrest. After officers arrived to the scene at 4:34 p.m., Encalade tried to pull away from officers while they arrested him.
He was struck one time with a baton. He then attempted to take the baton from the officer, at which time a taser was used, police said.
