In the first lesson of our networking night school, we looked at the basics of router hardware. Today we're going to start setting things up.
The goal here is to get the most important things set up and then explain all the other details you ought to know. You may not use every section in your router's admin page, but understanding the features will help. We're going to use the DD-WRT router firmware in our examples — since it's a Lifehacker favourite available for many routers — but we'll explain how each topic applies to whatever router you have. Your router may not have every feature we talk about today, but if you're still considering which router to buy you may want to take the contents of these lessons into consideration.
Note: In future lessons we'll cover some of the more exciting and complex things you can do with your router, but first this episode just focuses on the basics.
Naming Your Router
While it may seem trivial, there are actually a few things you need to know about naming your router. To start, the name of your router and wireless network are different. Naming your wireless network is really naming the service set identifier (SSID) that the router broadcasts and you select on your computer when you want to connect. The name of your router, however, is how it is identified to other devices on the network. In most cases, this name is much less important than what you choose for your SSID.
Choosing your SSID can be important, however. Leaving it as the default can lead to confusion with other networks, so it's important to pick something specific to you. You can even choose a name that's the first half of a phrase so it's easier for you to remember. This is, of course, somewhat less secure. Clever names can even discourage people from trying to use your network (e.g. "c:\virus.exe") or even communicate a message (e.g. "SexIsTooLoud"). Change it to whatever suits your purposes, but do make sure you change it.
Basic Wi-Fi Configuration and Security
There are a few things you need to do when configuring your Wi-Fi and there all very simple. First, you need to make a few basic setup decisions. Generally you'll find these settings in the Wireless tab on your router's admin page. This is the case in DD-WRT and on Linksys routers. For Dlink routers, it's generally in the Setup section under the Wireless Settings subheading. Netgear also calls it Wireless Settings, and Belkin tends to stick it under a Wireless header but label it Channel and SSID. There are a lot of router brands out there so we can't go over every naming convention, but as you can see they're pretty similar. You're basically looking for the word "wireless" and "setup" and/or "settings" in some combination.
Once you're there, the first thing you want to do is choose your SSID as we discussed in the section above. Choosing a wireless channel is also important, but we're going to talk about that in depth in the next lesson. The goal is to pick the channel with the least interference, and since the default channel is 6 for most routers you're likely to run into more interference on that channel. Feel free to pick another one for now, or just stick with the default and see how things run. If you're not getting the quality signal you'd hoped for, we'll talk about what you can do to about it in the next lesson.
Next you may need to choose a broadcast mode. In most cases you'll be working with a router that broadcasts both 802.11g and 802.11n, if not also others as well. As we discussed yesterday, mixed mode is going to reduce your speeds somewhat. If you really want to maximize throughput, broadcasting only 802.11n is your best bet. If you need backwards compatibility with 802.11g, however, you'll need to choose mixed mode.
Next, hop on over to the Security section of your wireless settings. Most routers will separate these settings from your basic channel and SSID setup, but some keep them together. If you look for a section with a label approximating "wireless security" you should find what you're looking for. When you do, this is where you can enter a password. Generally WEP is easier to crack, so using WPA2 (or WPA if WPA2 is not an option) is a better choice. You also can choose a more complex password when using WPA2. One thing to note is that some Wi-Fi cards (in your computers) will have trouble connecting to a WPA2-secured network via 802.11n when you don't support multiple WPA2 algorithms. If you find that you or visitors have difficulty connecting via 802.11n, be sure to set your WPA2 algorithms to both AES and TKIP. This is usually represented as "AES+TKIP" or something similar.
You don't need to mess around with much else beyond that to get your Wi-Fi up and running securely. While there are a few more advanced options worth looking at, too, we'll cover those in tomorrow's lesson.
Security Settings
Setting a Wi-Fi password isn't the only security you're going to have on your router, and generally various security settings will be split up into different sections. For example, password-protecting your router's admin page will generally be in the Administration section and some things like MAC Address Filtering like to find themselves in no consistant location between the various brands of routers. Often times you'll have to go looking around for what you want to find, but generally you'll also find a few things clumped together. They often deal with your router's firewall.
The firewall is the greatest challenge to any Hollywood actor playing a hacker in a film, but in reality it's not that big of a deal. Basically, you receive many network transmissions you're not aware of because your router's firewall is blocking them from getting through to you. It has a set of rules that allows certain kinds of data to reach you while blocking others that you presumably don't want. A semipermeable membrane is likely a better metaphor, but it's not quite as exciting or dramatic as firewall.
For the most part, the default firewall settings should be just fine for most people, but you should know that can less or more types of data if you choose. For example, you can filter out things like cookies and Java applets. You'll find that most routers are already filtering anonymous ping requests, which you may want to disable. It's also a good page to look at for troubleshooting purposes, as sometimes settings in your firewall will prevent certain applications from working properly as they require communicating outside of your local area network (LAN). If you're trying to debug a problem, temporarily disabling filters and/or features on your firewall can help you do so. Most of the time, however, you can just leave things as they are.
NAT and QoS
NAT stands for network address translation and QoS stands for quality of service. As NAT and port forwarding are related, you'll generally find them together. Sometimes port forwarding is also known as Virtual Servers in some routers. QoS is often paired with these features as well but not always.
So what do they do? Let's start with NAT and port forwarding. You're probably aware that you have local IP addresses that differ from the IP addresses out on the internet. On your local network, they usually look like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x but they can essentially be anything because they're local. NAT is what translates the outside IP addresses to your local network so you can interact with people as far as the wide internet can take you. Port forwarding relates to this because, by default, nobody on the outside can access your local machines. You can use port forwarding, however, to open up certain ports for certain machines on the network. For example, if one computer has a web server and another has an FTP server, you could open up ports for both of those services so people could access them from outside of your local network. If this is new to you and a little confusing, don't worry -- we're going to cover this in a lot of depth in the next lesson.
QoS is designed to keep your network's bandwidth evenly distribute, and it's something we've previously covered. Basically, the idea is that certain users and/or applications may hog the bandwidth on your network and from your connection to the internet, but QoS will let you define rules to let you throttle users and services when they are using too much. This allows for the network to run more smoothly in general and can help the router from getting so bogged down that you need to manually restart it. QoS isn't available on all routers, but it's becoming more and more common. If you use custom firmware like DD-WRT it'll be there when you need it.
Administration and Status
Your router generally has two sections that go by the same name with pretty much every router on the market: Administration and Status. Administration is where you add a password to your router's admin section, choose whether or not the router admin pages can be accessed outside of your local network, and also accomplish tasks like settings backup and firmware upgrades. The Status section will give you information about your router, such as its current wide area network (WAN) IP address, the computers that are connected to it, and more. This is also where you can check your router's logs. Generally you won't need to spend much time in either of these sections, but knowing what they do and what's inside can be particularly helpful.
Various Router Services
Your router may have a section called Services, Tools, Advanced, or something that isn't particularly descriptive. This section will often let you set up things like a VPN, turn on advanced options like SSH, and enable or disable the system log (although you'll usually find that in the Status section, too). We'll cover these items more later, but if you're looking for anything that doesn't seem to fit in the available categories you'll generally find it in your Services/Tools/Advanced tab.
That's all for today. Our next lesson will concentrate on improving your network speed -- both wired and wireless -- and router performance, so be sure to check back tomorrow night for the next article!

|Aptenodytes (1)
Standing over a metre in height and weighing up to 40 kilograms, the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the undisputed heavyweight of the penguin world (2) (4) (5). Slow and dignified, the emperor penguin is a stunning bird with a blue-grey back that shades into a black tail, and a characteristically white belly flushed with yellow (2) (4) (6). Deep yellow ear patches on either side of the head fade down the neck and the upper chest, while the remainder of the head and throat is black (2) (6).
In order to limit heat loss, the emperor penguin's extremities are reduced in size, with a small head and bill relative to body size, and flippers that are proportionately 25 percent smaller than those of other penguins (2). A highly developed counter-current circulatory system also provides an efficient mechanism for retaining heat within the body. Furthermore, the scale-like feathers of the emperor penguin are tightly packed in multiple layers that only the harshest winds can ruffle, while the feet are strongly clawed for gripping the ice (2) (6) (7).
Emperor penguin chicks are mostly silvery grey, with a blackish head and a conspicuous white mask around the eyes, cheek and throat (3).
In order for the chicks to fledge in the late summer season, the emperor penguin must reproduce during the Antarctic's harsh winter, when temperatures drop as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius and wind speeds reach up to 200 kilometres per hour (2) (4). Adults make the long journey (up to 120 kilometres) across the pack ice to the breeding colonies at the onset of winter, between March and April (3) (6).
Owing to the extremeness of the environment, the emperor penguin has little time to spend on courtship, and breeding pairs form relatively quickly. Potential mates stand face-to-face, raise their heads, and stretch tall into a static posture for several minutes, before relaxing again (2). If satisfied, the pair stays together for the next six weeks until the female lays a single egg, which is immediately transferred to the male's feet where it is kept warm under a pouch of feathery skin. The female then departs for the sea to feed, and doesn't return until spring, whilst the male remains to incubate the egg in constant darkness (2) (3) (4) (5) (7). In order to survive, the males cast aggression aside and huddle tightly together, with up to 5,000 penguins forming one huddle in large colonies (2) (4) (5).
Hatching of the emperor penguin chick coincides, around nine weeks later, with the return of the female, whereupon the male relinquishes feeding duties (2) (4) (5) (6). Free to head for the sea to feed for the first time in around four months, the male, which will have lost around half its bodyweight, must now undertake an arduous journey of up to 100 kilometres across the ice to reach open water (2) (6) (7). Once the male returns several weeks later, both adults take it in turns to provide the chick with regurgitated meals (2). At around one to two months old, the chick joins a group of other chicks known as a crèche, allowing both adults to forage at the same time (2) (3). Then, when the sea-ice begins to break up at the height of summer, the chicks and the adults all make the journey to the sea to forage (4) (6).
The emperor penguin feeds mainly on fish, squid and krill, which it hunts in the open sea or in gaps in the sea-ice (2) (3). Like other penguins, it is an expert swimmer, typically spending two and a half to nine minutes underwater whilst diving to depths of more than 400 metres (2) (5).
The emperor penguin has a circumpolar distribution (3), and being a true Antarctic bird is rarely seen in sub-Antarctic waters (4). There are around 40 known breeding colonies, all of which occur on the pack ice surrounding the Antarctic continent, the Antarctic Peninsula and nearby islands (2) (3) (6).
The breeding colonies of the emperor penguin are mainly found on level areas of stable sea-ice. These may be close to the coast or up to 18 kilometres offshore, and are often sheltered sites in the lee of ice-cliffs, hills or bergs (3).
The emperor penguin is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1).
As a result of a projected rapid population decline, in 2012 the emperor penguin was uplisted to Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List (8). Sadly, climate change models predict a colossal reduction in the extent of the Antarctic sea-ice, which would result in the loss of large areas of emperor penguin breeding habitat. Based on climate change models, recent research indicates this species could decline by as much as 95 percent by 2100 (9). Another study also suggests that increasing eco-tourism and consequential disturbance could also be having a negative effect on the emperor penguin (10).
In the face of climate change, the emperor penguin will likely have to adapt, migrate, or change the timing of its breeding season in order to survive. Unfortunately, such a long-lived species is unlikely to be able to adapt fast enough (9).
Recommendations have been made to reduce the level of disturbance by eco-tourists by encouraging people to walk in small, tight knit groups and to stop moving whenever close to travelling emperor penguins (10).

SAN DIEGO -- Hall of Famer Charlie Joiner has retired from his job as wide receivers coach for the San Diego Chargers.
Joiner spent 44 years in the NFL as a player and coach, including 21 with the Chargers. Now 65 years old, he says it's "definitely a young man's game."
Joiner played with the Chargers from 1976 to 1986 and was the team leader with 586 receptions until Antonio Gates broke the record in 2011. He also played with the Houston Oilers from 1969 to 1972 and with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1972 to 1975.
New coach Mike McCoy hired Fred Graves to replace Joiner. McCoy also hired Kevin Spencer to coach special teams and Joe D'Alessandris to coach the offensive line. Tuesday's moves came a day after Frank Reich was hired to coach the quarterbacks.

This is a special guest post by one of our AnyMeeting users. Want to write for the AnyMeeting blog? Get the details.
In part 1 we covered the correlation between football and small business regarding the use of planning and strategy to protect their most valuable investment from the blind side.
As a quick refresher the blind side in football or in business is the point you are the most vulnerable. For small business owners this point is most often in the area of marketing. You can protect your marketing blind side by engaging the biggest, strongest, and fastest marketing actions in your small business.
Like in football, marketing can only work well when there is a game plan. This plan starts with senior management assigning each marketing action a responsibility just like a head football coach assigns assistant coaches responsibility for a portion of each game. These assignments are then passed on to the team members responsible for executing the assignments. This would be the players in football and marketing personnel in business.
If you're a small business owner you need a marketing plan. Without one how will you muster an offense that is going to consistently produce revenue gains? Let's take a look at creating a marketing plan that can help you acquire new customers.
Small business owners should regularly review their marketing plan. If you don't have a plan then you should make it a priority to create one. The marketing plan doesn't need to be extensive but it should help you answer the following questions:
- Where are you now? This will establish a benchmark to measure new results.
- What have you been doing to market your business?
- How much new revenue comes from existing marketing activities?
- What is your current customer acquisition cost?
- Where do you want to go with new marketing?
- Establish a realistic revenue goal for new marketing actions
- Assign new marketing actions to existing or new marketing channels
- Set marketing goals to measure actions, weekly, monthly, or quarterly
- How will you get where you want to go? Ask yourself some questions:
- How did my largest competitor capture market share in their early days?
- What are my competitors doing that I am not currently doing?
- What can I do to make measurable changes to capture more customers?
A marketing plan will help you assess how best to budget marketing actions before you start spending time or money, and it can serve as a plan you can share with your team.
Your marketing plan is the way to change the game and places you in a position to gain new customers and increase revenues. Without a marketing plan a small business is left to the vulgarities of fate. You can control the fate of your business by using an easily created and easily implemented marketing plan.
In part 3 we will cover five marketing elements to help you implement your marketing plan, acquire new customers, and grow your business.

Cycle to Work Schemes are a great way to save even more on our wide range of new bikes and accessories.

We work closely with and accept vouchers from the following schemes:
Green commute initiative
c2w support
Halfords Cycle2work
We can also work directly with your company and help you set up your own internal Cycle to Work Scheme. This can be beneficial for both the company and the employees by streamlining the process for the HR department and enabling the employees to avoid paying any commission.
We'll also be able to build a close relationship with your company offering service packages and providing you with essential tools such as Pumps, Multi-Tools and Oils to keep at the office to encourage staff members to cycle more. If you'd like to know more about this please get in touch.
To learn more about the benefits of Cycle Scheme and see how to place an order with us, click here.
View our full Click & Collect information
Built, Prepared, Checked & Repacked
Each and every bike we send out goes through a thorough build process.
Once it's picked from our warehouse it's built by one of our trained mechanics to ensure that your bike is running to perfection.
Set up for you: let us know your weight and we'll set the suspension with the recommended pressures.
Once built, a second member of the build team takes over to check nothing has been missed before preparing it for packing.
Once in the packing bay, we remove the front wheel and handlebars from the stem and carefully wrap it to fit it securely into an export grade box.
Generally we try to reuse the box it came in, but if that's not up to scratch we'll pop your bike into one of our own export grade boxes.
Tracked UK Delivery
All of our bikes are sent with TNT and can be tracked along their journey.
#newbikeday your bike has arrived
Final assembly once you've received the bike is quick and easy - usually just putting the front wheel in and re-attaching the handlebars with 4 allen key bolts. We provide an easy to follow step-by-step instruction sheet to help you along the way.
If in doubt we're always available at the other end of a phone line to talk you through it.
General adjustments
Although all our bikes are fully assembled prior to shipping, to ensure safe arrival it is possible that some small readjustment is needed upon arrival. We are happy to advise over the phone, but if you are unsure, we would always recommend having your bike assembled by a professional.
We cannot accept any cycle warranty claim or return for incorrect pedal fitment or damage to crank arms caused by incorrect pedal fitment as described in the helpsheet supplied with all of our bikes.
If the wheels on the bike you've ordered become untrue through use, or the gears need readjustment after initial use, this unfortunately not covered under warranty.
Due to the mechanical nature of bicycles, it is highly recommended that new bicycles are serviced within 6-8 weeks of ownership, by a professional bicycle shop, to ensure correct adjustment, lubrication and torque settings.
Pauls Cycles cannot reimburse any costs associated with the set up and adjustment of a new cycle.
Delivery time
We know you're keen to receive your bike as quickly as possible, so aim to dispatch your order the following working day. During very busy periods there may be a 1-2 delay on dispatch but we'll make this clear straight away.
Receiving your delivery
If you have instructed the courier to leave your package on your doorstep or in another insecure place, we cannot claim for missing items or damage to your package. We therefore strongly recommend that you advise us of a favoured delivery day, ask the courier to leave your package with a trusted neighbour, or collect it from a local delivery depot.
Finance & Delivery
When using Finance we are stipulated to deliver your order to your registered billing address where the Finance agreement has been taken out. We can hold dispatch for a day that suits you (if you can work from home, or you have a family member who can be home on a particular day for example) but we are unable to change the delivery address.

Freehold, NJ --- As the owner of a breeding farm, Mike Gulotta would seem an unlikely candidate to buy a horse that was gelded.
But when longtime horse agent Gerry Bloch called Gulotta about gelded 3-year-old pacer Somewhere In L A, Gulotta knew he had to listen.
After all, it was Bloch who directed Gulotta to a 4-year-old pacer named Lis Mara in 2006. Lis Mara, who had earned $180,536 entering that season, banked $1.96 million the rest of his career and was the Dan Patch Award winner for best older male pacer in 2006.
So far, Gulotta is happy he listened to Bloch and partnered with J&T Silva Stables and TLP Stable to buy Somewhere In L A on June 1. Since then, Somewhere In L A has won four of eight races, finished second in the Delvin Miller Adios, and earned $186,373.
The fact (Somewhere In L A) was a gelding gave me some pause, but I thought that if Gerry was recommending the horse, I needed to pay attention," said Gulotta, who is the CEO of Deo Volente Farms in New Jersey. "I have a great deal of respect for Gerry. He's found a number of horses for me, so when he calls, I have to listen.
"I think this horse is pretty special. He's a fast horse that can take a lot of air. I think he's getting better and better."
Somewhere In L A races Friday in the first of two $99,990 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes divisions at The Meadows. He will start from post seven with driver Dave Palone at the lines for trainer Jimmy Takter. Also in the race is Adios champion McWicked, who leaves from post four with David Miller driving for trainer Casie Coleman.
A son of stallion Somebeachsomewhere, Somewhere In L A is the first foal out of the stakes-winning mare West Of L A. She is a half-sister to millionaire Thinking Out Loud and stakes-winner You See L A.
Somewhere In L A was bred and owned by Robert McIntosh Stables, C S X Stables, and Al McIntosh Holdings before the sale to Gulotta's group. Last year, he won three of 11 races, including a division of the Nassagaweya Stakes, and earned $71,831.
He enters Friday's Pennsylvania Sire Stakes start with three wins in his last four races. His only setback during that span came by one length to McWicked in the Adios, and Somewhere In L A is coming off a victory over older horses in the preferred on Aug. 22 at The Meadows.
"Jimmy is doing a great job with him," Gulotta said. "I thought if he had a better trip in the Adios, he would have been right there with McWicked. He was on the outside a long time."
Gulotta is hoping for a long and prosperous career for Somewhere In L A, noting the earning potential for gelding pacers while making reference to Foiled Again, harness racing's richest all-time North American performer.
"What's wrong with making $6 million," Gulotta said, laughing. "(Buying Somewhere In L A) fits from a business perspective. He can bolster our finances."
Tom Pontone, who along with his father, Lou, makes up TLP Stable, was unaware the horse was a gelding when he committed to be a partner. He was given the chance to leave the group, but decided to stay on board.
"I thought he was going to do good," Pontone said. "I saw his stakes schedule and we have the opportunity to get back our money this year. And I love owning horses with Mike because he's like a brother to me. I told Mike I think we're going to have a little fun with him.
"He's turned out to be a pretty good buy for us so far. He's a tough horse and he keeps on trying. That's the one thing I liked about him. He's had some tough races where he's had to come first up, but he never stops. He just keeps on going right down to the wire. He never gives up."
If all goes well, Somewhere In L A will go to the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes championship on Sept. 7 at Harrah's Philadelphia, then head to the Little Brown Jug on Sept. 18 at the Delaware County Fair in Ohio. Somewhere In L A is the No. 3-ranked horse in the Road to the Little Brown Jug ratings, behind Meadowlands Pace winner He's Watching and McWicked.
None of the current owners of Somewhere In L A have had a horse win the Little Brown Jug.
"It would be a thrill," Gulotta said. "It would be a dream come true.
"Even with a gelding."

I had the privilege of trying out the Scrape A Round ice scraper as part of a review (got the item for free, opinions always truthful nobody can buy my favor).
If you caught our insta photo with us blow drying the locks on our frozen car door, you'll know (or can guess) that we are NOT winter people. We live in the South. If we didn't, we'd move here, because we do not feel favorably for ice, snow, or cold. The snow wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't cold. But then, it wouldn't be snow would it?
Ugh. That's all that can be said about that. We'll move on!
The scrape a round ice scraper is, well, an ice scraper for your car. At one end, it features a flat head with small cone shaped points and the other is basically the end of a cone with a diameter of a little over 5.5 inches.
The scrape a round comes in two pieces, the larger cone and the small round end. All you have to do is sick the ends together and go. It won't come apart while scraping, as it has to be pulled and slightly twisted to remove the spiked end.
Honestly and truly, the initial fear was that the plastic spikes might damage the window. The pleasant discovery was that not only did it not damage anything, that end wasn't mean to clear all of the ice but rather to give you a breaking point. Yay!
Now, the ice frozen on my windshield that I cleared off in the photograph was not very thick. It was at my best guess, 1/8th of an inch thick. That's the thickest we've had since I received it, so I can't speak for thicker ice truthfully.
My assumption is that it would do well with thicker ice. Keep reading to find out why.
The tiny cone spikes are meant to only break up the ice and give us a starting point. As you can see in the pictures, it does pack up in between the tiny cones. I simply tapped it against my tire to release the packed ice.
After the tiny cone spikes broke up the surface, the other end did an amazing job at getting the rest of the ice scraped off. No sharp edges needed, which is fabulous!
My favorite thing about it was how I didn't have to go in a strait line as with traditional ice scrapers. Since I could move it in circles or wherever I wanted, it was much easier and allowed for more natural movements as I cleared the ice away.
It only took about 2 and a half minutes to clear my windshield, though I'm fairly certain I cleared more than was necessary for my wipers to clean off the rest. To be real, I kinda started having fun getting the ice off. Sound effects may have taken place, don't judge.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it's not flat for storage. Thankfully, my car has the in floor storage areas so it isn't that big of a deal. We're keeping one in the house so that it's always convenient for early morning ice layers.
All in all, this ice scraper is really great. It's fun to use, quick and very efficient. It clears the ice well and seems like it will last for quite some time.

Comics publisher Marvel announced at the New York ComiCon last week that it will start selling Spider-Woman and Astonishing X-Men motion comics on iTunes as it broadens its approach to digital media.
Traditional comic publishers have certainly faced their own struggles with adapting to our continually digitized world. One of the newer concepts along these lines are "motion comics," a sort of hybrid between full animation and static comic panels, with added sound effects and voiceovers.
"This has been an ongoing conversation I've had with our publisher Dan Buckley I'd say for the last two to three years," said Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada. "It became very, very evident to me that as technology moves forward, there will come a day where we'll be able to not just create animation based upon our comic books and our characters and stories that we've told, but there will come a time when eventually we'll be able to take existing comic art, the flat, static art, and be able to animate it."
The company revealed during a ComiCon panel discussion on digital comics that it plans to launch Spider-Woman as it's first motion comic title, and it will be distributed via Marvel.com as well as the iTunes Store. The company also plans to follow that launch with a series of Astonishing X-men motion comics written by John Cassaday and sci-fi auteur Joss Whedon. The comics will follow the same continuity of the print versions as well.
DC Comics made a series of Watchmen motion comics available via iTunes to generate buzz for the upcoming Watchmen movie. Having watched a couple episodes, I found the motion comic concept well executed. My main complaint was that the narration and voices were all done by one man, which is especially humorous when voicing the female Spectre. Marvel addresses this issue by promising a full cast of voice actors for their motion comics.
"I absolutely do think that people that have never read a comic or were [not] interested in comics would be interested in motion comics," said Quesada. "When you think about fans out there who are interested in Marvel but primarily interested in [the] movies, animations and games and [who] don't dabble in comics, I think there's an audience out there for the characters and the material that we can absolutely reach through this, including lapsed fans and current fans as well." I haven't collected comics in almost 10 years, but I'm certainly interested in seeing the results of Marvel's efforts.
Pricing hasn't been determined, but the Watchmen episodes are available for $1.99. A specific launch date hasn't been set, either, but Marvel says Spider-Woman will be available this spring.

Early Evidence of Human Habitation Early Evidence of Human Habitation
Early Evidence of Human Habitation
A wide variety of rock paintings and rock engravings dating from about 29 000 to 1 500 years ago are the most persistent evidence of early human habitation in the area currently known as Namibia.
Although there is some agreement that the first traces of the Bantu-speaking communities appear in the north between 2 000 and 1 500 years ago, it is generally accepted that the Khoisan speaking people, known as San or Bushmen were the first to arrive in the area.
Prior to European Annexation
Prior to European annexation, clans of Nama-speaking tribes calling themselves Orlams moved into Namibia to escape from colonial oppression at the Cape of Good Hope.
These tribes moved into Namibia with guns and mounted soldiers and spread through the south to areas north of present day Windhoek, thus becoming the first conquerors of large parts of Namibia.
The strongest group of the Orlam was the Afrikaner clan under the leadership of Jonker Afrikaner, a man who was to become the dominant figure in the south and centre of the country after his alliance with the Herero chief Tjamuaha. After the death of the two leaders in 1861 internal dissent amongst the feuding Herero and Nama clans led to continuous warfare between Tjamuaha's successor, Maherero and Jonker Afrikaner's successor, Jan Jonker Afrikaner.
Beginnings of Trade in Namibia
The demands for guns and ammunition, driven by the continuous feuds between the different tribal alliances eventually created a trade between central and southern Namibia and the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1870 a community of mixed race Cape Colony families calling themselves Basters created the Rehoboth Gebied south of Windhoek after a purchase agreement with the Nama and Herero Chiefs.
The increasing trade with the Cape, coupled with the lobbying of the missionaries, eventually aroused the interest of the European powers in the area and ultimately led to its colonisation.
First European Explorers
The first Europeans to set foot in modern day Namibia was the Portuguese explorers Diego Cao who landed at today's Cape Cross in 1486 and Bartholomew Diaz who erected a cross at today's Luderitz.
Further European explorations were kept at bay by the forbidding desert coast until the 18 th century. The discovery of huge amounts of guano on the islands scattered along the Namibian coast around 1840 led to the first European settlement in Namibia at Angra Pequena, today known as Luderitz. Angra Pequena became a bustling port for ships on the way to Europe from the Cape of Good Hope, but even then the Namib Desert kept the early Europeans from moving inland.

SOMERSWORTH — Loads of pumpkin-themed activities are slated to take place Saturday during the city's 10th annual Pumpkin Festival.
"Everything's pumpkin, pumpkin and more pumpkin," said Festival co-director's Don Houde, Anna Houde and Arnie Tarr. "It will be loads of fun for the whole family."
On Saturday, the Somersworth Plaza on Main Street will bustle with activities — including pumpkin carving, pumpkin painting, pumpkin putt-putt golf, pumpkin basketball, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin smashing, and the popular pumpkin catapult and sling shot.
Other activities include scarecrow making, cookie and cupcake decorating, mask making, leaf etching, and a Halloween Pumpkin Storytime tent hosted by library director Debra Longo. A new apple air gun will also be unveiled by Festival staff Saturday.
The event, which will be held rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is intended to give both parents and children an opportunity to have fun together.
"We really want to have parents and their kids do things together rather than have the adults standing in the background watching their kids have all the fun," the event organizers said.
Bracelets, which may be purchased for $12, allow participants access to all activities except the food court. A family photo area managed by local photographer John Huff gives bracelet holders an opportunity to pose behind plywood cutouts or on hay bales.
Performances by the Doug Mitchell Band, the Somersworth High School chorus, the Tricky Dick Magic Show, and Miss Strafford County Teen Caroline Carter will be held on the Main Stage. The Second Stage will feature the Studio 109 dancers, the Extreme Air jump ropers, and Mr. B Tae Kwon Do. A raffle to support the festival will be conducted by the stage emcee with gift certificate prizes to be awarded throughout the day.
Continuing with the Pumpkin Festival's policy to feature non-profit organizations and high school groups in the food court, there will be hamburgers and hot dogs from the Boy Scouts, a chili cook-off by the Girl Scouts, fried dough and french fries by the Lions, chowder from the Somersworth Chamber of Commerce, barbecue beef from the Friends of Somersworth, candied apples from the Early Learning Center, and other foods from various high school groups.
Hayrides will also be offered throughout the day from the plaza entrance to the Somersworth Historical Museum.
Pumpkins galore at Somersworth's 10th annual festival

A number of investment plans was developed, which can satisfy the needs of both small and large investors.
To protect the money from the losses, goldjustpaid.com along with an analysis of the borrower's creditworthiness has long started to use another way of hedging: demand from the borrower providing the loan or even of goldjustpaid.com deposit to direct using in different ways of investing.
Providing a loan (mortgage) - is the property of the borrower, which can be withdrawn from him by goldjustpaid.com's and sold to cover debts, which he is unable to return.
For example, a commercial company takes from goldjustpaid.com loan to buy merchandise for store, which manage by professional manager team. In this way goldjustpaid.com can require that the goods have been issued as collateral for a loan. If the firm is unable to repay the debt on time, the goldjustpaid.com will take her own products and sell to cover their losses. If goldjustpaid.com does not trust this company, you can even request that it gave him a mortgage any other valuable property (and cost more than the value of loans issued goldjustpaid.com).
In any case, the algorithm of borrowing goldjustpaid.com laid out in such a way that even in case of bankruptcy of the borrower firm depositors' money in no way lost.
Once we gathered a united team of adherents among whom there were true professionals, competent not only in the field of strategic financial planning, but also in the sphere of online investing and online loans. Also were involved by us to a cooperation the leading mentors of investment funds thanks to which became possible the beginning of a stage, really interesting and important for our country.

How to Make the Self-Starter from Raines Law Room, NYC
Get the Recipe
"We look through a lot of cocktail books for inspiration. I love that Savoy had a female head bartender ages ago, so I often go back to them," Meaghan Dorman, head bartender at Manhattan's Raines Law Room recalls of her path to the Self-Starter.
"I was searching for something different, something I hadn't seen anywhere else, and we'd just gotten some Cocchi Americano, so this was perfect."
Raines Law Room's modern take on the Savoy original calls on Cocchi Americano, with its spine of quinine, as the closest modern equivalent to the original recipe's Kina Lillet. "It dries out your cheeks a little," she notes, giving hers a surprisingly illustrative suck.
For the recipe's London dry gin, Dorman turns to Plymouth, and, in the place of apricot brandy, she adds a bit of bright Orchard Apricot liqueur. She stirs the Cocchi, gin and Orchard Apricot with ice and strains into an absinthe-rinsed (or rather, sprayed) coupe.
A lemony aroma and the liqueur's fresh, stone fruit flavors jump out at the senses, a garnish of lemon peel making citrus a prominent note in this otherwise lemon-free cocktail.
The Self-Starter is Dorman's answer for the drinker who wants a martini, but nothing too strong. "It's a nice before-dinner martini," she says. Don't be mistaken, though; this one's not all fruit and no punch. The sweetness slowly recedes behind the gin and quinine's dry herbal and bitter kick.
Given a chance to settle, this silky number is first an absinthe-tinged martini, second an aperitif with soft, subtle fruitiness up front and a bitter bite in the back.
Dorman gives it a taste and a nod. "It's a gin and tonic drinker's martini."

Computing "disposable income" for debt payments
Below, law professor M. Jonathan Hayes, who writes the BankruptcyProf Blog, previews the oral argument in Hamilton v. Lanning (08-998). For briefs and later updates in the case, check the Hamilton v. Lanning SCOTUSwiki page. [Disclosure: Akin Gump and Howe & Russell serve as counsel to respondent Stephanie Lanning in the case, but Professor Hayes was not involved in the case.]
Hamilton v. Lanning will be argued on March 22, 2010. In it, the Supreme Court will consider the issue of whether a bankruptcy court "may consider evidence suggesting that [a chapter 13] debtor's income or expenses during [the plan period] are likely to be different from her income or expenses during the pre-filing period."
Respondent Stephanie Lanning filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in October 2006. Shortly thereafter, as required by the Bankruptcy Code, she filed a chapter 13 Plan that proposed to pay the chapter 13 trustee (petitioner Jan Hamilton) monthly payments of $144 for thirty-six months "" an amount based on her actual salary at the time of filing less her actual monthly living expenses.
Hamilton objected to the confirmation of the plan, arguing that the plain language of section 1325(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires Ms. Lanning to make payments of $1,115 for sixty months. That provision provides a specific framework for computing the debtor's "disposable income," which is then projected for the plan period. Because such a plan would pay all creditors in full over approximately thirty-seven months, the trustee proposed that the debtor make payments of $756 for sixty months, although acknowledging that Ms. Lanning currently had no ability to make those payments. The difference between the debtor's plan payment and the trustee's plan payment arises from section 1325(b), which provides that the debtor's income for plan purposes is her actual income for the previous six months and not her actual income at the time of filing the plan. Here, Ms. Lanning had received a bonus in the past six months that artificially increased her "income."
The bankruptcy court agreed with Hamilton on the sixty-month requirement but overruled his objection with regard to the amount of the payment. Both the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel and Tenth Circuit affirmed. Hamilton then filed a petition for certiorari, which the Supreme Court granted on November 2, 2009.
Hamilton argues that section 1325(b) provides a specific "mechanical test" for computing how much chapter 13 debtors must pay. The payment must be based on the debtor's "current monthly income," a term defined in section 101(10A) as all income for the past six months, not on the debtor's current ability to pay. Why? Because that is what Congress said in the statute. He argues that the legislative history leaves "no question" but that Congress specifically intended to "reduce judicial discretion" by requiring the use of the mechanical test. By contrast, the "well intentioned" "forward-looking test" that Lanning urges the Court to adopt is "result driven" and ignores the plain language of the Bankruptcy Code. Holding that the application of the mechanical test is not required in every case, and therefore a court may "" as the Tenth Circuit held "" consider a "substantial change in circumstances," would add language and concepts to the Code that are simply not there. Prior to the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA), the amount that a chapter 13 debtor was required to pay was determined using a simple "ability to pay" test, and that amount was then multiplied, i.e., "projected," by the number of months in the payment plan. Congress changed that in 2005 by redefining disposable income. According to the trustee, the Code now says that the court "shall" approve a plan such as the debtor's only if the plan payment is computed using the mechanical test. Nothing in the Code permits the court to modify the computation by looking at "special circumstances."
Finally, Hamilton argues that the mechanical test does not lead to a harsh result here because the debtor could have waited to file her petition (which would have changed the calculation of disposable income because there would then be a different prior six months) or could have simply filed under chapter 7 instead. It also does not lead to an absurd result simply because this debtor cannot get a plan confirmed. Someone is always disadvantaged by the limits placed in a statute.
Lanning responds that the Court must look to the statute as a whole. Congress intended that chapter 13 debtors pay as much as they can afford, and that has been the test since chapter 13 was originally enacted. Language in the Code supports the arguments: the debtor must pay projected disposable income "to be received" in the future; courts are permitted to modify plans without using a mechanical test; and courts must look at the debtor's projected disposable income "as of the effective date of the plan." All of these statutory provisions lead to the conclusion that courts must be able to consider factors other than those which existed on the petition date. It makes no sense to allow the court to consider something the day after the plan is confirmed but not the day before. Moreover, the term "projected" must mean to look into the future. To "project" the debtor's disposable income, the court must be permitted to consider changed circumstances. If Congress meant disposable income "multiplied" by x months, it would have said so.
Lanning concedes that the mechanical test is usually the starting point for the determination of the plan payment and usually also the end. That said, Congress could not have intended "significant anomalies" to contravene the structure of chapter 13. The plan must be feasible and proposed in good faith. Debtors whose prior six months of earnings are lower than their current earnings "as of the effective date" will be able to confirm a plan paying less than they can afford using the mechanical test, i.e., the opposite of this case. Also, the trustee's arguments encourage debtors to manipulate the system by timing the petition date to coincide with the ability to propose artificially low payments.
In his reply, Hamilton counters that Lanning concedes that the word "projected" means computing some monthly amount and multiplying that by some number of months. Here, he argues, she is simply unhappy with the amount required to be multiplied. He asserts again that section 1325 mandates the use of "current monthly income" as defined in section 101(10A) and reasserts that Lanning could have changed the results by filing at a different time or asking the court to use a different period. He reminds the court that in the Ninth Circuit case, Haney v. Kagenveama (In re Kagenveama), it was the chapter 13 trustee arguing for the forward-looking test, and therefore the mechanical test does not result in a blanket benefit for either side. It is a matter of what Congress intended, not which side benefits the most.

Registration day invited over 35 internationals from 15 different countries all making the trip to compete for the respective disciplines: Wave Masters, Freestyle, Kiteloop, Course Racing and Siders.
Cyclone "Bill" is forecasted for today, with strong gusty winds around 30-35 knots and 3 meter swells.
There is huge excitement amongst all riders and everyone involved for this new stage on the KPWT. Some big names on the tour came down to register their names in this historic event up North.
Jesse Richman (HAW, CABRINHA), Abel Lago (SPA, RRD) and Wave Master 2008 World Champion Mitu Monteiro (DOM REP, F-ONE) all came down to compete in the Waves.
Shippagan is renowned for good wind and accommodate those looking for flat water and some good waves.
Yesterday when we arrived it was a good temperature of 35°C, but today due to the storm pulling in, its dropped off a little.
Tonight there is a party at the "Kredo". And tomorrow the opening ceremony will be held at the Chiasson Office. There is promise of a huge barbecue, some local beverages and all riders and teams are invited.
Thank you to all the sponsors and the local organizing team for their support! KPWT are very excited to host their first event in Canada and look forward to the week ahead.

How exactly would you word it in the legend? Now that we added a piece of texture to the key and put numbers on the tower can we just go back to "Guard Tower +2"?

I do understand graphics are not the best atm but they will change after game play is done, but if clearing up the graphics a bit helps clarify the gameplay then OK
