Choose a poker game. No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the most popular poker game, mainly because it is simple to learn and encourages aggressive play. There are other types of poker, but most players are familiar with Hold 'Em.
Select a buy-in total and payout structure. In tournaments in which the entire pot is up for grabs, a normal pay structure might award 50 percent to the winner, 25 percent to the runner-up, 15 percent to the third-place finisher and 10 percent to whomever places fourth. For a tournament in which the host takes a cut, the numbers might look more like 45/22/10/8, with the other 15 percent going to the host.
Send out an open invitation. The more players you can attract, the bigger the pots and the larger your share. Include what the stakes are and how the prize positions will be paid out. Don't send invitations to more players than you can handle, and be clear on whether people can invite others to come along. Having too many players is a problem.
Agree on a blinds structure once everyone has arrived. Some players prefer to see the blinds (another name for the ante before the hand) go up quickly so the game doesn't take as long. Others would rather have the blinds climb slowly. Once a format is agreed to, shuffle the cards and start the tournament.
Pay the winners. For a tournament with $1,500 in the pot, the winner should take home around $675, the runner-up $330, the third-place finisher $150, the fourth-place player $120 and the host $225.

How to Free Up CPU UsageIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Click the 'Performance' tab, and watch the CPU usage chart for a moment to establish a baseline. The idle CPU utilization should be less than 2 percent on a normally functioning system. If it says above 2 percent, then there is a program that is utilizing too much CPU power.
Click on the 'Processes' tab, and scroll through the list of programs, keeping an eye on the 'CPU' column. Most of the programs listed will read 0 percent. Find the program that is using CPU power, and note the name of the process. Ignore the listing titled 'System Idle Process.' It's entirely normal for it to show as much as 99 percent CPU usage.
Click on the process that is showing excessive CPU utilization. Click 'End Process' to terminate it. Choose 'Yes' on the confirmation window that appears. The process will now be forced to terminate, and CPU utilization will return to the normal range.

How to Run a Pool Tournament in a BarIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Decide how many players will be allowed, keep in mind time and the number of available pool tables. The average weekly bar tournament allows 8-16 players for at least 2 pool tables. Draw up brackets or download them for free at a number of sites.
Decide on the rules of the pool tournament, including the number of games per match . Almost every league has its own variation on billiard rules, so specify what leagues rules you choose to follow. It is easier to pick a league to follow so that rules can be looked up or distributed to all players in the pool tournament.
When choosing the number of games per match keep time in mind. No player wants to wait hours between matches, but the bar owner needs players there long enough to buy food and drinks. An average 8-Ball tournament can be a race to see who wins 3 games, 9-Ball is often a race to 5 games.
Set an entry fee and ask the bar owner if they would like to add anything to the pot. This could include free drink coupons, t-shirts, or cash. You don't have to decide the exact dollar amount of the pay-outs at this time, but you should choose how the split will look as a percentage. For example, an average weekly bar pool tournament will split the pay-out like this: 1st Place - 50 percent, 2nd Place - 30 percent 3rd Place - 20 percent. The bar owner can decide how and when to award prizes they donated.
Advertise the pool tournament everywhere you can. Most pool league operators have newsletters they send out, ask to be included. Set fliers around the bar where the pool tournament is to be held, and other bar owners may allow you to advertise if pool is not their main interest.
Setting up a pool tournament at a bar
Arrive at the bar early on the day of the pool tournament to have everything set up before players come in. Start taking names and money from entrants as soon as they show up. Keep all entry money in a secure area.
Count the number of entrants in the pool tournament. You may end up with an odd number of players or a less than full bracket. You can still have a tournament as long as there are at least 7 players. You will need to add 'byes' to the brackets.
Players can draw cards for placement in a bracket . However you choose to seed players, call them all together around a pool table and do it in an orderly fashion. Write the number drawn next to each person's name on the list of entrants. Double-check that all numbers have been assigned.Transfer the players' names to the corresponding number on the bracket sheet.
Double-check money, payouts, and brackets, and call your first match. Ask some interested and knowledgeable on-lookers to help in watching tables.
Monitoring a pool tournament at a bar
Pay attention to all of the games being played. Try not to get too deeply involved in one match or conversation, keep an open ear to the entire bar.
Make rulings yourself or have and impartial person watch the shot in question. Have a rule book handy for the closest of calls. Some players know the rules to the letter and may call the smallest infraction, so advise all of the pool tournament players to read the rule book prior to playing.
Update brackets and call new billiard matches timely. Play at least two rounds on the winner's side of the tournament bracket before moving to the loser's side. After being eliminated, most players will leave the bar, this does nothing for the bar owner's business.Try to rotate between the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket to spread out play for everyone. No one wants to sit for hours between matches, and word will get around.
Wrapping up a pool tournament at a bar
Watch the final billiard matches closely and bring attention to it among the patrons. Announce the money matches as they come up. Billiard players thrive on attention and will return for the spotlight if nothing else.
Make a big deal about pay outs and prizes. Announce to the entire bar who the winners are and what place they came in or what prize they won. You shouldn't announce the monetary amount, if any.
Invite players back, especially good ones. The better players you have, the more players you will draw. Every billiard player loves a challenge, and a well run tournament may even the odds for beginners.

The Best Practices for Email Attachment SizeIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
There are many free email accounts provided by companies with a large Internet presence. These free email accounts include Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail. Each free account limits the total attachment size for every email. Hotmail allows a maximum of 10MB to be attached to every email message. Yahoo allows 20MB and Gmail allows 25MB. Attachment sizes should work within each mail system's guidelines. Failure to do so will result in emails not being sent.
Encoding of Attachments
Free email accounts go through a process of encoding. This means that adjustments are made to the files so that other mail systems can read them. The result is adds an additional 33 percent to the original size of the files. Attachment limits provided by free email accounts also include the encoding.Example:
Yahoo Attachment Limit: 20MB
Attachment Size Before Coding on Yahoo: 15MB
Attachment Size After Coding: 20MBIn the above example, Yahoo limits attachments to a total size of 20MB. A file that is 15MB, after coding, is 20MB. In the case of Yahoo accounts, 15MB is the actual attachment limit.
Attachment Limits on Self-Hosting Accounts
Website owners that have accounts with Internet hosting companies also have access to email accounts. These email accounts can be accessed within the cpanel. The cpanel is also known as the control panel and all website additions and adjustments can be made from there.Email accounts through self-hosting companies also have limits on attachments. The size limit varies with each company. Go Daddy has a total attachment limit of 20MB per email, Bluehost has 10MB and Dreamhost has a limit of 40MB.
Understanding Receiving Limits
Even though some mail systems can send larger attachments than others, it isn’t the only factor that limits attachment size. Attachment limits depends on how much the recipient can receive. Example:
Gmail send limit: 25MB
Gmail receive limit: 25MB
Hotmail send limit: 10MB
Hotmail receive limit: 10MBIn the above example, a Gmail account sending to a Hotmail account cannot have an attachment size larger than 10MB. Even though a Gmail account can send 25MB, the email is limited by the recipient’s ability to receive attachments. On many mail systems, the receiving limit corresponds to the sending limit.In the above example, a Gmail account could send 25MB in some situations. This depends on the recipient also having a Gmail account or being able to receive 25MB.
Splitting Larger Files
Some files have sizes that exceed what is allowed by a mail system. One way to get around this is by using a program that will split the file (see Resources). The program takes a large file and splits it into several, smaller sizes. This allows a person to send a large file in smaller portions and to attach it on several emails. The person receiving the files would then re-merge the split files. Before the recipient receives a split file, they need to be informed before hand. If the recipient doesn't have the same file splitting software, they won't be able merge the files back together. Alternatively, the sender can use a compression or zipping program to shrink the file size and send it as an attachment. The recipient would then need to expand the attachment or zipped file.
