follow the directions given with the router you do not change any cords till the cd tells you to take that step. Leave your desktop as you have had it, put the cd in the desktop cd drawer, run the cd follow the instructions it will tell you and show you exactly how and when to change the cords it will lead you through step by step, READ the instruction pamphlet that came with it that tells you what the cd does. When it tells you to set up a password for the router do it and write it down then tape that to the bottom of your router along with the name you give the SSID for your wireless network, you will at some point have to select to choose WPA2 for your method of security it is generally set there default, then it will give you a long WPA password you can accept that or create your own just keep that one it is more secure than one you create, be very very sure you write it down as it is caps and lower case and put that on the paper under the router. That is the key anyone in your house that wants to get on the wireless will need to enter into their laptop to connect, so that laptop will detect the wireless and then will ask for the password that is the one you just saved so you will enter that into the box and then it should connect if all is correct. On my linksys it asked during the set up if I wanted to print out all that info and yes I did and it also asked if you want to put a text file on your desktop with the info sure let it do that too you can delete it at any time if you no longer need it. Just take it one step at a time do not change anything till you have the cd in the machine and it tells you to. depending on the router you bought you can go to the company website and look up the model number and they all have a pdf manual on line with directions and pictures also. If you tell us which router you got someone might know more specifics of that particular one.

You first task is to decide how much exhaust power you need and whether the exhaust fan will be inside the rangehood or remotely located. The remote ones are quieter for obvious reasons. I think you probably need between 600 and 1000 cfm (cubic feet per minute) exhaust power with a cooktop of your size. That also depends on the kind of cooking you do. If you often have several burners going simultaneously or if you do a lot of stove-top grilling or a lot of really serious stir-frying, you probably need 1000 cfm. I would caution against going much higher than that, first because of the cost and second because then you will be generating too much negative pressure in your kitchen, and will have to open a window to compensate for that, or build into your system (for a good deal more money, of course) something called a "make-up air" system. What that does is pump in fresh air from the outside to make up for all the negative pressure the exhaust fan is creating. And of course you'll have to heat the make-up air if you live in a frigid climate. I hope I haven't confused you too much. Where do you go from here? I am partial to the Broan brand of rangehoods. They have liners and they have excellent remote blowers. They are reasonably priced, have been doing it for a very long time, and offer so many models in every size, shape and configuration that you are almost certain to find one that's right for you. The "Best" brand, made by Broan is probably where you might find a liner and blower that's right for you. Check out Fantech also. Their website is fantech.net. They also make a sound reducer, that reduces the noise level even more. And I think their products are very reasonably priced. Of course there are other choices. Shop around. One further word about remote fans. They can be "in-line" or "exterior". They may use different words that can confuse you further. In-line means that the fan motor is installed inside the house, say, up in the attic. Ours is in the attic just adjacent to the opening to the outside. I think they can also be installed adjacent to the roof. The exterior fan is installed outside the house and is therefore exposed to the elements. I strongly recommend that you exhaust to the outside. Rangehoods that just circulate the air through a filter and back into the kitchen are not very effective in controlling the smoke and cooking odors. I suggest that you do some google searches. You will find several Internet suppliers of these products. Their websites are very infomative, and their customer service 800 #s are very helpful. But be patient and take your time. This kitchen exhaust issue is pretty complicated, and you want to make sure you get it right. Aside from this forum, you should also browse in the kitchen forum, where some people have posted some very strong opinions. Good luck.

My understanding is that your weight and height, should you choose to set them up on your FITBIT profile, are not "out there" unless you choose to share them, with people other than FITBIT. I have had the ULTRA, which I accidentally washed after being careful for a year, I put it in rice to dry it out and it worked but would not reset at midnight. So by then they were no longer selling new Ultras, so I ordered the ONE last year, it worked great and was easier to wear but after a few months stopped synching with my MAC. I looked online and found other MAC users having the same problem. After trying many things Fitbit replaced it and the new one is working great. It does track my sleep when you place it in the little cloth bracelet and serves as a reminder. If I'm near the 10,000 step goal for each day I often walk around the house or down the driveway a few times just to push myself to that goal, or climb the stairs a few times to make the 10 flights of stairs goal. I don't use the App on my phone, but like just looking down at it and checking my steps and flights of stairs and activity level throughout the day. If I'm sitting at the computer too long and look down I am reminded I need to get up and put more steps and flights of stairs on the Fitbit. I've recommended this product and five friends have them now, some of them gifts from me.

I stopped by Best Buy and bought a Fitbit One on Monday evening. I have been painting the exterior of my house, going up and down a ladder for a few hours each day. I wore it yesterday for the first time - logged in over 8,000 steps but got no credit for going up the ladder repeatedly. I guess I'm not going high enough for it to register. And you don't get credit for coming down the stairs - just going up. Still, I think it's great. And now I understand how it could fit in a bra. The thing is about the size of my thumb. The directions for using it are not readily available. It comes with no instructions - it sends you to their website, and even there the instructions are sketchy. I tried to use it as a sleep tracker the first night - got into bed and held down the button for two seconds. What they don't tell you is what the Fitbit is going to do - that two second hold starts a stopwatch. I thought I had done something wrong. I wore it on my ankle last night. It recorded my bathroom trips in the night - LOL.
