How to Port Forward for 'Garry's Mod'
Log in to your router using its Internet protocol (IP) address, which varies based on the manufacturer. Linksys access is '192.168.1.1' with the default username blank and password of 'admin.' NetGear uses 'admin' for the username and either 'password' or '1234' by default.
Click the 'Advanced' tab, then select 'Port Forwarding.' It may also be located under 'Applications and Gaming.'
Type the name of the application, 'Garry's Mod,' into the application.
Enter '27005' for the Start and '27015' for the End range.
Select 'Both' from the protocol drop-down menu. Check the box next to 'Enable' to turn it on.

How to Embed TTF Fonts in CSS (4 Steps)
Open the HTML file for the Web page where you wish to display the embedded font. For websites or templates using a separate header file, open that instead. Use a code-editing program such as Notepad++, jEdit or BBEdit. Look for the following line of code in the top of your HTML file:
Look at the name of the .CSS file referenced in the
tag and open that file in your code editor. If you see no
tag, create one and then create a blank .CSS file.
Add the following code at the top of your .CSS file:@font-face {font-family: 'Font Name Here';src: URL('fontfile.ttf') format ('ttf');}Give a font family name to your font. You can use any name, but stick with a name that is easy to type and remember. Type the full or relative path to your .TTF file between the parentheses after 'URL.'
Use the embedded font as you would use a Web-safe font such as Arial, Helvetica or Georgia. Here is an example:h1 {font-family: 'Font Name Here', 'Another Font', generic;}The above code makes all tags use your embedded font. Should the embedded font not work, the browser will use 'Another Font' for level-one headers. In the case 'Another Font' does not exist on the user's computer, the browser goes to the last font. Use a generic family name here such as 'serif' and 'sans-serif.'
Upload your font using an FTP tool. If you do not use FTP, you can also log into your Web hosting control panel and then navigate to your file management tool. Most Web hosts offer this tool, which allows you to upload a few files at a time through your browser.

How to Run an NCAA Tournament Pool (8 Steps)
Determine the maximum number of people you want in the pool. Factors that impact this decision are whether the pool is just for members of your office and if you're hosting the pool using an Internet service--such as Yahoo!, ESPN or CBS Sportsline. Knowing the “cut-off” number before you tell others about the pool gives you the option of declining entry into the tournament pool at your discretion. However, there doesn't have to be a limit at all.
Choose the entry fee. Consult with friends and other potential entrants before setting this fee so people are not dissuaded from entering the pool.
Locate and print blank NCAA tournament brackets for everyone participating in the pool. While those in the pool can locate their own brackets using the Internet or from a newspaper, it doesn't hurt to acquire a few extra brackets just in case. Popular sports websites such as ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, CBS Sportsline and NCAA.com all offer printable brackets after “selection Sunday”--the Sunday before the start of the NCAA tournament, which is always on a Thursday.
Determine a scoring system. Some pool organizers increase the points awarded for each round. For example, award 1 point for every correct pick in the first round, 2 points in the second round, then 3, 5, 10 and 15. Some people do not weight the points, awarding the same number of points in each round. Make sure participants know the rules before they enter.
Decide on a “tiebreaker” in case it becomes necessary. Doing so ensures only one person wins the pool. In most Internet pools, the tiebreaker is the total points of the final score in the NCAA championship game.
Choose how winnings will be distributed to the winner or winners. Some pools pay out just the person who wins the entire contest. Others pay the top two or three winners. An example might be 80 percent of the money to the winner, 15 percent for second place and 5 percent for third. The system you use is largely determined by the number of participants.
Create a cut-off time for the collection of both brackets and money. Most Internet pools have a cut-off time of noon on the first day of the tournament, when the first game tips off. Collecting the money along with the brackets ensures nobody backs out of the pool once the tournament begins.
Tally the total wins/points at the end of each game, set of games or round. The time you choose to check the brackets is up to you, but you'll find most people will want to know who is winning at the end of each day of the tournament.

How to Create a Turnkey Web Site
Choose a market niche for your turnkey site. Websites that focus on niches are popular and can generate a significant revenue have the greatest chance of being sold. Think of industries that have a large advertising network. For example, a website on dog care serves a large audience and also has a wide range of companies who would want to advertise dog care products. In contrast, a site about raising ants will have a much narrower audience and less appeal to advertisers and entrepreneurs.
Sign up for budget web hosting. When attempting to create a turnkey website, minimizing your overhead costs will help you realize the greatest profit when selling the site. You also want a host that is able to transfer ownership of the domain and hosting account for free. Examples of budget webhosts that can do this include Fat Cow and Blue Host (see Resources).
Build the turnkey site. If building the site from a blank page, use a visual site editor (e.g. Dreamweaver) or a standard text editor if you are comfortable with your level of HTML expertise. Alternatively, purchase a professional website template. Templates are popular among those who create turnkey websites because they minimize the time it takes to get the site up and running. Avoid free website template sites as they often offer low-quality templates that are not always standards-compliant. Dreamtemplate is an example of a professional template provider (see Resources).
Propagate your site with keyword-targeted, original content. Include a minimum of five to 10 pages for the site. Think about the keywords that will attract advertisers. Stay focused on your turnkey website's overall theme. For example, a dog care site may have web pages on dog breeds; dog grooming tips; dog grooming product reviews; and dog feeding and nutrition guides. The more pages you include with the turnkey site, the higher your chance of selling the site quickly.
Insert advertising and affiliate programs. Popular examples include Google AdSense, Commission Junction and Amazon Associates. You may insert your own code, which the purchaser will then replace with his or her own affiliate codes. Alternatively, simply insert 'Ad Here' or similar text to notify the purchaser of the locations of ad spots. However, successful turnkey websites will come with affiliate codes pre-installed and income reports to show potential buyers of the site's income potential.
Upload the website to the web host you chose in Step 2 using your FTP software. Enter your server name and password into the FTP software to connect with the server. If you do not know this information, it may be found in the registration material sent to you by the host when you originally registered. Once connected, upload the templates and pages you've created. Your turnkey site is now online.
List the turnkey site you've created for sale. You may wish to post it for free on an online classified ads website such as Craigslist. Alternatively, list the site for sale on an online marketplace specializing in turnkey website sales. One of the most popular and well-known sites that do this is the Sitepoint Marketplace (see Resources).
