Steps in the process
At the start
- Think about your topic and
- Look for background information (encyclopedias, handbooks, introductory texts).
- Formulate a research question
- Brainstorm about keywords for each concept for your topic
- Create a search strategy before entering words into the search engine(s)
Make a note of any key authors or references (citations)
Research question:
What is the effect of the Anti-terrorism Act and how is it used for national security?
Brainstorm about your question.
- Why was it introduced?
- When did it come into effect?
- How has it been applied by the police or Canada's Border Agency?
- What is the effect on people?
- Has any particular group been the focus or target or has there been racial profiling?
Has it affected people's rights?

Search Tips & Techniques
Use "or" to combine same concept
- When using one line search box, also put braces "()" around your synonyms. E.g. (elderly or seniors or aged)
- Use "and" to combine different concepts
- Use "quotation marks" to search for an exact phrase
Use asterisk (*) the truncation symbol, for variation on endings of words (child* will find: child, children, childless, childlike)
- "$, ?, *, !" are common truncation symbols. Most use asterisk.
- Alternate spellings: most databases use American spelling - try both versions (i.e. honour or honor)
Alternate words: youth or adolescents or teenagers or young adults // aged or elderly or seniors or old people
- Modify your terms when during your searches you become aware of new terminology to describe your topic.
Subject headings, descriptors or thesauri words
- Examine the relevant references (citations) more carefully. Check their subject headings, descriptors or thesauri words that describe the key concepts contained within that article/book reference. These concepts are the "main focus" of that book/article so your search results will be more relevant.
- General or specific concept words: North America or Canada or Vancouver or Downtown Eastside
- Abbreviations: TV or television
Find Background information
Start with sources that provide an overview or summary. Encyclopedias, handbooks or textbooks provide overviews, definitions, and identify key authors and ideas.

YAY! The CK will be awesome but the Steam Workshop will be even better o_o
You should have acted. They're already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. Their defeat was merely delay until the time after Oblivion opened, when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But... there is one they fear. In their tongue he is Dovahkiin; Dragon Born!
Finally an update from Bethesda on the development of the Creation Kit (CK) for Skyrim.
Posted by Antiscamp on Jan 19th, 2012
Finally an update from Bethesda on the development of the Creation Kit (CK) for Skyrim. Bethesda has previously told us that the CK will be available for download during January 2012, and they seem to stay right on track with that date. Bethesda tells us on their Blog that "The Creation Kit and Steam Workshop are nearly ready" and that what's left now is only to do proper testing. We are to expect the release of the Skyrim CK at the end of January, according to Bethesda.
Hang in there, modders, for in the meantime, we're also to receive another patch. Skyrim's Patch 1.4 will be available from next week, so we will have things to do while waiting for the CK. The really exciting news for PC-players is that Bethesda will now make their patches beta versions and you can revert to the earlier one if you're experiencing game-breaking problems. Real good news here, and a lot to look forward to, in other words!
Read more here on Bethesda's Blog as well as see the Changelog for 1.4.
YAY! The CK will be awesome but the Steam Workshop will be even better o_o
That latter part is debatable, but the CK is more than enough to get me excited :D
This made my day
Can't wait to make Skyrim my world! I'm getting truly started on serious modding on Skyrim (probably a lot of other people are too), after fooling around with Fallout 3 and TES IV for a long time.

In a tiny Alabama town with the curious name of Muscle Shoals, something miraculous sprang from the mud of the Tennessee River. A group of unassuming, yet incredibly talented, locals came together and spawned some of the greatest music of all time: "Mustang Sally," "I Never Loved a Man," "Wild Horses," and many more. During the most incendiary periods of racial hostility, white folks and black folks came together to create music that would last for generations and gave birth to the incomparable "Muscle Shoals sound."

Health Watch -- New Implants
Health Watch is a Public Service of the Office of News and Publications and is intended to provide general information only and should not replace the advice of a medical professional. You should contact your physician if you have questions about any of these topics.
A new kind of breast implant may offer women safer options.
Silicon breast implants have made news, with lawsuits alleging terrible health consequences that resulted from broken or leaking implants. As a result, these implants haven't been used for cosmetic breast augmentation in recent years. But a new kind of implant that's been popular in other countries may offer an alternative that doesn't carry the same health risks.
Doctors at UT Southwestern are beginning the next phase of a clinical trial of these new implants, which are made of a cohesive silicon gel. They're about the same consistency as a gummy candy. This consistency means they won't leak, even if the implant breaks. Silicon gel implants have been the most popular kind of implant in Europe and in Brazil for about a decade because they're not only safe, but they also offer good cosmetic results.
Dr. William P. Adams, a UT Southwestern plastic surgeon, says the new implants are made of a new kind of silicon with cross-linking molecules. That gives the implants a thicker consistency that helps them hold their form. The silicon gel provides a better shape, and the gel won't migrate to anywhere else in the body if the implant breaks. That makes the implants safer than previous kinds of silicon implants.
Results from a preliminary trial were positive, and doctors are currently recruiting patients for the next phase of the trial.
Dr. Adams says early results were better than for any other implants. These implants offer new options for patients who need breast reconstruction or for those wanting cosmetic surgery.
Aug. 2004
Health Watch is heard Monday through Friday nationwide on the "Stardust" format of ABC Satellite Radio. Call your local radio station and ask if they carry the program.

Got a question about this topic?
I edited this page in July 2008, but noticed now that I can't edit any Help Namespace pages here. My question is this: is this apparently new change that permits only admins to edit Help Namespace pages Wikia-wide? Blue Rook 04:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- It only affects Wikia Help, due to Help:Shared Help. Kirkburn (talk) 13:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Admin rollbackEdit
possible to add a line here some where (maybe in the hot to add rollback/sysop section), that sysops dont need rollback also --Uberfuzzy 09:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Made it a little more noticeable because this is done a lot (on a daily basis), and added a section about bots. Probably may want to add another bullet to w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:Userrights-groups-help to note this. --Charitwo (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Admin questionEdit
Can Admin's give other Users Admin powers? --User:axx1000 19:42, 17 August 2009
Changing permissionsEdit
Why can't an admin of an individual wiki block non-logged-in users from editing? I've started a wiki on a subject that's likely to draw several trolls, and I'd rather stop them from editing in the first place than have to clean up after them. Shiftnoise 00:00, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, this can be done on each individual wiki, but it is not something we would usually recommend. It's much harder to build the community on a wiki that blocks anonymous users. This is because many first time visitors will try out the site before logging and creating an account. Forcing people to log in first can put people off and slow the growth of your wiki.
- While it is often true that more problem edits can come from anonymous editors, accounts are easy to make and it's likely that vandals and spammers will just switch tactics rather than go away. At least with anonymous edits, you can see which are the ones to check first, and can see the IP of the vandal directly. With this information it's possible (in some cases) to block a range of IPs and prevent someone editing who is switching IP addresses.
- The main reason we recommend keeping a wiki open to editing by all, is that it's just more friendly that way. Open editing is an ideal, one that wikis were built on. We think it's good to keep wikis that way. Of course, there may be special circumstances on particular wikis, and we are always willing to listen to any specific considerations.
- Best, --Sarah (talk 21:38, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
Autoconfirmed Edit
This page could/should also cover autoconfirmed users and especially how to become one. Different sources tell 10 edits + 4 days old account or 10 mainspace edits + 1 week old account. What is true for tibiawiki? Is it also possible for administrators and/or bureaucrats to speed up this process, by manually confirming users? If not, is it possible you would implement such a feature? Thanks ;)
{{subst:User:Bennie/Signature}} 15:22, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
Anonymous Edit
Is there any way we can keep anonymous users from editing on our wiki?
- You could request it from Wikia. However, they very rarely disable anon editing unless there is a very good reason. ~ty 05:19, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

- Request from Wikia to remove the
createpageright from users and *. That would only allow Admins to be able to create pages. ~ty 05:20, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
I've found out that all Wikia Untils are all staff, and Toughpigs also have sysop rights —Sam Wang 09:56, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
Authenticated Edit
Will Wikia be adding a section for Authenticated users? Would that be added here as an additional section, or would a separate help page be created? If Staff would provide some guidance, I'd take on the task. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 16:58, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Spike! "Authenticated" is used very (very) rarely, and isn't something users can control, access, or apply for, so I don't think it's needed right now. When there's an Authenticated user on a wiki, the community is generally aware of it and what it means. Let me know if you're hearing about confusion anywhere. Thanks! --Dopp (help forum | blog) 17:05, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Dopp! To be totally honest, I was just trying to get rid of a redlink at Special:ListGroupRights and was hoping for someplace to direct it to. :D It was never anything important. Thanks again! — SpikeToronto 04:04, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
Userpage titlesEdit
I'm not sure if this possibility exists, but if it does, it would be good to note it. Is it possible to edit wikis so that bureaucrats are listed as bureaucrats and not as admins?
Is it also possible to have a title on the userpage to distinguish those with rollback rights?
Currently I've only seen 4 titles: Staff/Founder/Admin/Chat moderator. I'm not sure if any others display like this.
I've seen some wikis that have custom usertitles (usually fitting a wiki's theme) so it got me wondering.
Also I made some edits to the wording of the page, added some information about these titles, and moved rollback before chat mod because it's clearly not as authoritative a position. +Yc 22:34, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
How to lock my wikia ? Edit
I created a wikia to help people, but now the community doesn't exist anymore. I asked them if they want to be admin, but they don't.
The wiki is about helping people on 2 games (Denpamen) by giving a lot of usefull infos. Now that everybody lost the will to continue playing, I want the wiki to be a "read only".
It happens 5 times that some user posts junks on the wiki, I don't want to spend all my life to watch it. For that reason, we agreed that the wiki need to be blocked (not deleted), in case one guy in the future want some infos on these games.
So I come here to ask you : Is it possible to restrict the permissions of the wiki, so that the admin can mod it but every other Users + Anon can only read the wiki.
Thanks for reading. —This unsigned comment is by Alfred-P (wall • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- No, there isn't. Wikia does not offer private wikis in the manner you are looking for. Wikia wikis are meant to be collaborative and anyone can edit. You can always promote an admin or two if you're not able to look after the wiki. Rappy 17:59, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
Multiple Picture Upload Edit
I can't find out which user role you need to have to get the multiple photo upload option.
Zitronenfalter12 (talk) 11:28, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
I can't add pages to any wikis. It says the wiki doesn't have that page, and I have good ideas!Anthonyjason15 (talk) 16:59, April 25, 2014 (UTC)Anthonyjason15
Adding Groups to Wikia Edit
I need the Wikia staff create groups on Wikia that are global or managed on every wiki. Groups are global moderators, image controllers, blog patrollers and custodians that needed to be added on Wikia, was the same as the phpBB groups management that can be managed by an admin or founder on every wiki like as administrators, bureaucrats, rollback and chat moderators on those users request! Added those will be available in the user rights management by an admin when we've created those on a request! --User:Lt. Allen/Signature 1 14:16, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
- You can suggest it on Special:Contact. However, I doubt they're creating more global positions (other than Staff, Helper, VSTF and I probably forgot some) without a clear mission brief or at least a different explanation from "that other site has this too". Wikia manages and recruits these global positions very carefully (as they should), and they definitely won't be available in the regular User Rights Management, if they're made at all. --Tupka217 14:24, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Staff do not create global usergroups on request. However, they may consider local wiki usergroups instead for your wiki. – Ozuzanna 14:25, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
- I've contacted Wikia staff about I need them to create groups that are managed. --User:Lt. Allen/Signature 1 15:24, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
Custom Tags Edit
I want to change the text for the 'Rollback' title next to a user, and also add other special title boxes, can anyone give me help? NTA65bz, wanna chat? 21:25, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
Bureaucrats and Rollbacks QueryEdit
Are bureaucrats able to give themselves adminship?
Also is it possible to give rollbacks the ability to delete things? -- Stryzzar 02:55, October 3, 2014 (UTC)
- Per the top of the page, this talk page is about suggesting changes to the help page, not asking questions. For that, you should be using the Forum -- a place that your question will be viewed by many more users and hopefully answered much quicker than here.
- To answer your questions: yes and yes. The latter would have to be requested through Special:Contact though and would probably require some form of community consensus or discussion. Rappy 03:55, October 17, 2014 (UTC)
- Thankyou so much, and sorry about the question thing. Stryzzar 11:25, October 17, 2014 (UTC)
Sarah Jane Wikia Edit
Hi on the Sarah Jane Wikia I want to become an admin member of the wikia but there is no one active on the website apart from me. I want to make the wikia better and being an admin will surely help as I have other high positions on other wikis.
Thanks http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:GamerKid248
- You can adopt it. --Tupka217 21:42, November 17, 2014 (UTC)
Order and Moderator Edit
I think the order of user rights on the local level should be rearranged. Maybe Registered-Autoconfirmed-Emailconfirmed-Checkuser-Rollback-Moderator-Chatmoderator-Administrator-Bureaucrat-Founder-Bot? Right now it just seems out of order. Also, you should specify that Admin rights include Moderator rights as well. And maybe specify if Admins can give users moderator or rollback rights. Similar issue with bureaucrat. Would be nice if you could specify that they can manipulate moderator rights. CloneMarshalCommanderCody (talk) 04:34, January 29, 2015 (UTC)
Future usersEdit
the future users are superusers that will be that have the abilities for all the things bureaucrat,staff,checkuser,rollback,etc. i wish this
Hey! I've looked FOREVER, and i've found no way to edit names for user right groups on a local wiki. I've been wanting to learn how to do this. I have been learning how wikia works on my testing wiki so I can help improve the Castle Crashers wiki. ANYWAYS, being able to create custom user rights groups would be great. Ragonoid (talk) 13:49, February 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Addendum: you can change the names and create new tags, but you can't create new groups with powers. For that, you need to ask staff at Special:Contact/general; give good arguments for why you need that (and don't overkill). But they might say no. --Tupka217 14:03, February 18, 2015 (UTC)
Crats removing bot flag Edit
Can someone confirm if this part is true:
Bureaucrats also have the ability to revoke a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioningSome crats on some wiki's I've been to have reported that they can't remove a user's bot status at all. Is it a bug on some wiki's, or did Wikia retroactively remove this ability for some reason? --SuperSajuuk Talk Page | Tabber Code | Channel 16:21, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
- By default, that is correct in that bureaucrats have the ability to remove bot rights. The fact that this isn't the case on some wikias should be reported to Special:Contact. It sounds like someone made a mistake when a custom usergroup was added or removed and should be fixed.
- It is also possible that this was done intentionally. There have been cases where wikias had abused the power to demote bots and it was taken away. Regardless, to get this investigated, please toss the details to Special:Contact. Thanks. Rappy 16:36, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
- Late, but thanks Rappy! I'll get a crat over on one of the wiki's where I'm aware of this bug to contact Wikia to get it fixed. Thanks! :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page | Tabber Code | Channel 16:56, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
Thread ModeratorEdit
Hello. I am a bureaucrat at Hunterpedia, and we have a discussion about promoting a user to become a Thread Moderator for our forums. I have checked the Special:UserRights and could not find the Thread Moderator. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Darkchylde 12:02,3/31/2015

Custom Titles Edit
On my wiki, administrators/crats both have the title "Team Bandipedia" show as their title. Meanwhile, Rollbackers don't get anything. How do I change this? YellowLucario 21:55, June 17, 2015 (UTC)
User rights that are not yet listed Edit
Help:User rights is missing information on Restricted-login, Image Reviewers, Content-reviewer, and Wikifactory, among other user rights. If anyone knows the details of these user rights could they add it to the help page?

Apple and Google play beautifully in two distinct emotional zones
Here's a process for how you find your brand's Emotional Benefit?
To get to that emotional benefit, we recommend that you do up a Customer Value Proposition (CVP) helps to organize your thinking as a great tool for bringing the benefits to life. The tool below is the Beloved Brands Ladder that forces you to ladder up from the consumer insights to the brand features to the rational benefits and finally up to the emotional benefits. We recommend you hold a brainstorming session with everyone who works on the brand so you can:
- Define your consumer target and Brainstorm all of the consumer insights
- Match them up against the list of the best features the brand offers.
- Find the rational benefit by putting yourself in the shoes of the consumer and seeing the brand features from their eyes: start asking yourself over and over again "so if I'm the consumer, what do I get from that?". Ask it five times and you'll see the answers will get richer and richer each time you ask.
- Then find the emotional benefit by asking "so how does that make me feel?" Ask that five times as well, and you'll begin to see a deeper emotional space you can play in and own.
This tool is designed to get you out of talking about yourself (your claims) and gets you talking about what the consumer gets (the benefits) For instance, no one really cares that a golf club has 5.7% more torque. When you ask what do i get from that, the better answers are longer drives or lower scores or winning a tournament. These are rational benefits. When you ask how does that make you feel, the emotional space is confidence and optimism. This is the emotional benefit.
The Cheat Sheet for the 8 emotional zones a brand can play in
People tend to get stuck when trying to figure out the emotional benefits. It seems that not only do consumers have a hard time expressing their emotions about a brand, but so do Brand Managers. Companies like Hotspex Research have mapped out all the emotional zones for consumers. I'm not a researcher, but if you're interested in this methodology contact Hotspex at http://www.hotspex.biz
Leverage this type of research and build your story around the emotions that best fit your consumer needs. Leveraging the Hotspex work, we've mapped out 8 zones in a simplistic way below:
Within each of the zones, you can find emotional words that closely align to the need state of the consumer and begin building the emotional benefits within your CVP. It almost becomes a cheat sheet for Brand Managers to work with. How it works is when you figure out which ONE emotional zone you think your brand can own, and just like a rational position, you can't try to own them all. If we think of the world's leading companies, Apple owns Freedom while Google owns Knowledge and they are at their best when they stick to those positioning statements.
Here's how Apple plays in the "freedom" emotional space
Here's how well Apple has brought "Freedom" to life. You'll not really hear any functional benefits within this type of Ad. Poetry matched against the beauty of the world is a perfect demonstration of FREEDOM–making Apple seem interesting, exciting and alive.
Here's how Google brings the "knowledge" emotion to life
While knowledge might sound boring, by sticking to that strategy, here's how well Google has done. Embedded within the story line, Google is used as an enabler of knowledge–making you smarter, wiser and competent.
Can you find your brand's emotional space you want to own?

UT BANK, MT, April 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Mountainview Energy Ltd. (MVW.V) ("Mountainview" or the "Company announces that the filing of its annual financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "Filings") will be delayed. The Filings are due on or before April 30, 2013 . As a result of the failure to file the Filings on time and in accordance with applicable securities laws, Mountainview has, pursuant to an application made to the Alberta Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission, voluntarily requested a management cease trade order in accordance with National Policy 12-203 (the "Policy"). A management cease trade order will prevent Mountainview's President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Montalban , as well as its Chief Financial Officer, Angelique Hatch , and the directors of Mountainview from trading the Company's securities while the Company remains in filing default, but enables all other investors to continue trading the Company's securities.
The filing delay is principally due to the fact that Mountainview is preparing the Filings for the first time in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the corresponding changes in reserves engineering requirements associated with preparing the Annual Filings. Mountainview and its auditors and independent reserves engineers have worked diligently to proceed with the conversion to U.S. GAAP; however, it is expected that this process will take some additional time thereby delaying Mountainview's ability to file the Filings. It is anticipated that this process will be complete soon and the 2012 Annual Financial Materials will be filed shortly after the filing deadline. Mountainview expects to file the 2012 Annual Financial Materials on or before May 17, 2013 , and not later than May 31, 2013 .
If the financial statements are not filed by May 31, 2013 , the date that is one month after the filing deadline for the Filings, the relevant security commissions or regulators may impose an issuer cease trade order. Mountainview understands that an issuer cease trade order may be imposed sooner if Mountainview fails to file its bi-weekly Default Status Reports on time.
Mountainview intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines set out in the Policy by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases so long as it remains in default of this filing requirement.
Mountainview is not subject to, nor does it expect to become subject to, any insolvency proceedings. If for any unforeseen reason Mountainview becomes subject to any insolvency proceedings during the period in which it is in default, Mountainview will file material change reports containing the same information it provides to creditors at the same time the information is provided to creditors throughout the period in which it is in default.
All material information concerning the affairs of Mountainview has been disclosed to the public through news releases and filed on SEDAR.

Bloomberg, billions, and bipartisan blovation
The Associated Press is panting over Nanny NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's appearance at some sort of bipartisan summit in Oklahoma today. Chauncey Gardiner plus billions of dollars = Michael Bloomberg:
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg turned up the volume on a possible independent bid for president on Monday, participating in a bipartisan summit that stole a bit of the spotlight from the announced candidates in New Hampshire.
Amid talk about Washington riven by partisanship, Bloomberg gathered with Democrats and Republicans — some current elected officials, others out of office for years — to discuss bridging the divide between the parties. The summit came on the eve of the first-in-the-nation primary.
"People have stopped working together, government is dysfunctional, there's no collaborating and congeniality," Bloomberg said to applause from the crowd.
Bipartisanship brought us McCain-Feingold, No Child Left Behind, and almost rammed through the McCain-Kennedy-Bush-Reid shamnesty. Bipartisanship is vastly overrated.
I'll repeat the question I asked in March when the Michael Bloomberg for President trial balloon was first floated: Aren't there enough pro-abortion, anti-gun, open borders candidates running for president?

LAS VEGAS — Your smartphone is the screen in your pocket. Your computer is the screen on your desk. Your tablet is a screen for the couch.
Almost every major electronic device you own is a black rectangle that is brought to life by software and content. So how can hardware companies make their products stand out in a sea of black rectangles?
That challenge will be on display at the Las Vegas Convention Center from today through Friday at the 46th annual International Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest technology conventions based on attendance, which is expected to exceed 150,000 this year. And that challenge is particularly acute for television-makers.
"The hardware is no longer what's driving the future," said James McQuivey, an analyst for Forrester Research. "The hardware is kind of boring."
More exciting things are happening in software, McQuivey said. For example, dozens of tablets are on the market, but Apple and Amazon lead the pack because of the impressive apps and digital content available for their devices, he said.
This year, television-makers like Samsung, Sony, LG and Panasonic are trying to grab attention by supersizing their television screens and quadrupling the level of detail in their images. And manufacturers continue to push the idea of "smart" sets by adding apps and other interactive elements.
A grim sales picture
For the electronics industry, the television is an important but increasingly difficult product to sell. Just seven years ago, big-screen sets that cost thousands of dollars were major profit generators. But more recently, even as televisions have gotten bigger and better looking, they have dropped significantly in price amid heated competition.
To make matters worse, consumers are buying new televisions as often as they buy a new car, not as often as a new computer or phone. And people can now watch video on smartphones, tablets and computers, reducing the need to buy a television at all.
High-end hopes
As they try to prop up profits, electronics-makers are trying hard to establish a new high-end category of televisions. They are promoting what they call Ultra High-Definition televisions, which have four times as many pixels as their high-definition predecessors.
Some of these new televisions can cost as much as a car, like Sony's 84-inch Ultra HDTV, which is priced at $25,000. But Sony says it will unveil Ultra HDTVs at the show that are smaller and less expensive.
Mike Lucas, a senior vice president at Sony, called its 84-inch set the Ferrari of televisions. But he said that with the new versions, "we're moving out from the Ferrari world and more into the Audi, Lexus and Mercedes side of the world."
He declined to say how much the smaller Ultra HD sets would cost, but said they would be more expensive than the older HDTVs.
Samsung will also introduce new televisions this week, including an Ultra HDTV that emphasizes software. Joe Stinziano, senior vice president for home entertainment at Samsung Electronics America, said a majority of the new Samsung sets this year would be smart televisions — Internet-enabled televisions that run apps for things like Netflix and Facebook.
"The television has always been the center of the entertainment of the home," Stinziano said. "Now it will be the center of a connected home."
Raymond Soneira, president of DisplayMate Technologies, a consulting firm that studies displays, said he was not enthusiastic about the new higher resolution sets.
Soneira said Ultra HD would make a difference only on screens that were at least 80 inches, measured diagonally. For smaller screens, the extra pixels would not be visible to a person with 20/20 vision viewing from a normal distance of at least 7.2 feet, he said.
"It's a bit of a marketing push," Soneira said. "It's really pointless for a small TV under typical viewing conditions."
McQuivey of Forrester agreed, adding that very little content is available that takes advantage of the Ultra HD format.
In the last two years, television-makers have tried a similar push with 3-D sets, but consumers decided that the ability to watch a handful of movies in 3-D did not justify spending thousands of dollars on a new television.
McQuivey predicted that Ultra HDTVs would also be a flop.
Industry officials cited reasons for more optimism.
Gary Shapiro, chief executive of the Consumer Electronics Association, which puts on the electronics show, said he once predicted that high-definition television would fail because of the lack of HD content available at the time.
But it turned out that early adopters were buying the sets because they made DVDs look better.
"With Ultra HD, you're going to see people stepping up, too, and you'll see at the show it's going to be a big deal," Shapiro said.
Lucas of Sony said its Ultra HDTVs would use software to pump up the number of pixels in videos to make them look as if they were shot at a higher resolution.
But Soneira said that this approach, called "upconverting," cannot add details that were not in the original image, and would not make a difference on screens smaller than 80 inches.

by Kristen Rosser cross posted from her blog Wordgazer's WordsAn anonymous commenter on my last blog post told me this: God, in His wisdom, made man the head of the union between man and his wife. He has created a desire in the woman to be loved, and in the man to be respected, and there is no amount of social re-engineering that can change that. This seems to me to be a good opportunity to address the whole love-vs-respect idea that most male-headship proponents espouse. Where does this idea come from, that God made women to need love more than respect, and men to need respect more than love-- and that this is a basis for belief in male headship?The chief source of this idea … [Read more...]

Apparent suicide raises concern from residentsOctober 04,2013Apparent suicide
raises concern
MANCHESTER Police responded Thursday morning to an apparent suicide at the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park.
Police went to the park around 6:10 a.m. to investigate the death. The name of the person has not been released.
Town officials said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this death and police believe there is no danger to the public or visitors to the park because of the incident.
Town Manager John OKeefe said it was unusual for the towns police department to make a public announcement for a suicide but some residents who had heard about the investigation or had seen the police presence were concerned about public safety.MORE IN This Just In

I just came back from a yoga teacher training at this resort. It was perfect for our group, as it was extremely secluded and had a lot of space for us to spread out.
The villas are amazingly beautiful! I highly recommend sitting in the hammock and taking an afternoon siesta. The food was great and they were always very accommodating with all our special requests.
One disturbing thing I did see, would be sea turtles nesting their eggs on the beach, and whoever sees that turtle first gets to take her eggs, so a lot of locals scope out all the beaches and claim a scary large amount of turtle eggs. The hotel has no say in this, so if you see this happening, you may be able to buy the eggs off the poacher. I'd highly recommend you do buy the eggs, and if you do, give them to the security guard or hotel staff, as they have a safe place to hatch the eggs and will release them into the ocean.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Punta Teonoste Nature Lodges & Beach Spa is an exclusive boutique property located on the southwestern coast of Nicaragua known as the Pacific Riviera.Our spectacular beachfront setting is nestled amidst the quaint, authentic fishing village of El Astillero and Popoyo, Nicaragua's premier surf break.It is a secluded destination where travelers can experience the beauty of the area, the sounds, the breezes, the wildlife, the local culture and people; all without distraction of the stimuli that has become familiar in daily life.Recognized as one of only four properties in Nicaragua verified by the Rainforest Alliance, our ecological concept resists conventional lodging without compromising comfort and modern convenience.Punta Teonoste remains committed to creating and maintaining an attractive and responsible environment while also preserving the natural beauty of future generations.The chic design merges contemporary elements while respecting and embracing the surrounding nature.

NSanityHD replied to albn's topic in Company FeedbackAre we still legally allowed to use legacy versions of IP.Board (such as 2.3.x (like I'm using) as long as the license key is in the IPB License Settings or is that illegal now? Because I'm NOT upgrading to v4. It looks horrible. Both the board and Admin CP. Forums are mainly used on DESKTOPs/LAPTOPS. NOT mobile devices/phones...so why make the board/ACP look like Windows 8's layout/mobile device? It's all flat...it's disgusting to say the least. I'd personally rather stick to 2.3 regardless of what bugs/errors or security issues you (IPS) seem to say it has.. As far as spam bots, I've already done my appropriate measures to counter them and stop them from registering without disturbing the smooth ability of visitor registrations.
NSanityHD liked a post in a topic: If someone got my license number
I'm not 100% positively sure it's tied to a servers IP, but is definitely tied to the URL of which the license key was entered and loaded to.
If someone steals your license key, I'd advise having it reset/changed immediately. Although they can't exactly do anything with it as it's only set for your board. However some people seem to assume that if they use someone else's license key, that their "board" is licensed and verified as being licensed by IPS, which is definitely not the case here. If you suspect your key being stolen, you can file a ticket in your Client Area requesting it be reset. Please note that if you've changed your license key (reset it) once already in your 6 month period you will have to pay a fee of $15.

NSanityHD replied to Amerrrr's topic in Product FeedbackPrecisely as Brandon said.. this "idea" would inevitably fail. There is no way for IPS to "automatically" take down forums that are unlicensed. That's like saying boards that still run IP.Board 2.3.6 (like mine now) is unlicensed just because it's not up-to-date. I have my IPB License key in the IPB License Settings. That's all that matters, whether or not my license has expired. Not that I refuse to renew it, but this simply just restricts me from upgrading my current software version along with support.

OR you could alternatively purchase IPS (Community In the Cloud) Hosting where you may safely host your site/forum with IPS! Do take attention that with IPS Hosting, you are limited and subject to ONLY having an IP.Board license for your IPS Hosted domain.

TV Actress Ankita Lokhande Getting Married Soon To Sushant Singh!
Popular TV actress Ankita Lokhande is said to be getting married to her long time boyfriend and Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput very soon.
The news broke when Sushant confessed his wish to get married to her this year in an interview. Sushant Singh whose film Shuddh Desi Romance is going to be released soon, is in news constantly in the past few days since he is promoting his film extensively, along with this co-actor in the film Parineeti Chopra.
Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh are two very popular television actors, who became famous with their Zee TV's show Pavitra Rishta. They played the lead roles in the show of a husband and wife. The show along with the actors became a rage at the time.
Ankita and Sushant started dating in their Pavitra Rishta days and have been together ever since. Sushant then left the show to pursue his Bollywood career and has not looked back. Ankita, on the other hand, has stayed with the show until recently, but the rumours circulating say that she is on her way to pursue a career in films too.
Many have also compared this actor with the King Khan of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan. Both have started their career with television and moved to Bollywood. Now that he is marrying his sweetheart who is also an actress, the similarities are very evident. Let's hope they would marry soon and have a life as marvellous as the King Khan.

The first leg of the 1,600 nautical mile Round Britain Offshore Powerboat Race that headed from Portsmouth to Plymouth yesterday, proved a very tough test for much of the 47-boat fleet.
Round Britain Race TWO start photo Chris Davies - 2008 Portsmouth
A tough wave set across Lyme Bay slowed many, but Drew Langdon and Miles Jennings brought Silverline/Original Style home in first place, after covering the 130nm mile course in less than three hours.
But behind them was chaos.
Race favourite, Red FTP driven by Fabio Buzzi the Italian winner of the last circumnavigation in 1984, made a massive mistake leaving Portsmouth Harbour.
In attempting a short cut to the start line his 3,500hp Red FPT, he struck a submerged wartime defence barrier smashing a rudder and one of his three propellers.
Red FTP hits submarine barrier -photo Chris Davies - 2008 Portsmouth
Buzzi and his team are expected to work through the night making repairs and could rejoin the fleet further down the course.
After setting the early pace Wettpunkt.com's challenge to win the Round Britain was jolted during this first leg when the boat suffered engine failure and was forced to limp into Torquay. It was a disappointing end to a day that started so well with the Anglo- Austrian crew of Hannes Bohinc, Max Holzfeind and Ed Williams-Hawkes, who initially demonstrated class and power to the thousands of spectators lining the shoreline.
'We were surprised just how quickly we took the lead, and then concentrated on increasing the distance between ourselves and our rivals. The boat felt very good and the props provided by Fabio Buzzi were perfect for the job,' explains throttleman, Hannes Bohinc. 'Then the gremlins set in, the engines closed down and we decided to go sightseeing in Torquay. It even has palm trees!
'We must now decide whether to change the engines here in Torquay or travel overland to Plymouth ready for tomorrow. It will be a long night!'
The team is determined to line up for tomorrow's second leg from Plymouth to Milford Haven, despite the likelihood of incurring an 8hour 30-minute penalty.
'These things happen in power boating,' continues Bohinc, 'it is hard to swallow but we do not intend to quit. This is the toughest of all endurance races and our competitors will face their own difficulties as the race progresses.'
It was less than ten minutes after Silverline Original Style finished that the Greek entry of Blue FPT, Vassilis Peteras and Panos Tsikopoulos, entered Plymouth. They were to take second slot with Nick Gilley and Jon Fuller bringing the Phanton hull Swipewipes.co.uk, which was only completed a few hours before the race start, home in third place less than a minute behind.
The weather made it a punishing race, some unable to take stand the strain.
The Fairey cruiser 747 crewed by three British Airways captains was forced to enter Weymouth to put Mark Jealous ashore with a broken rib.
Garmin, the boat carry TV presenter Nick Knowles, retired early with mechanical problems but this was insignificant compared to the luck experienced by the German entered Swordfish cruiser, Blue Marlin.
Round Britain first start photo Chris Davies - 2008 Portsmouth
It was while crossing the rough and tumble Lyme Bay that she suddenly sprung a leak. Pumps could not combat the inrush of water and she began to sink forcing the crew to take to their life raft. Markus Hendricts and his three-man crew were later picked up unharmed, by a fellow competitor. Blue Marlin is now considered a total loss.
A poor weather forecast for Sunday's leg from Plymouth to Milford Haven could cause a delay or a modification to the course to enable the event to maintain its timetable.

Three organizations join to host conference March 13 in Manlius
Do you have a heart for orphans?
Manlius resident Elizabeth Snow does. Her family of four grew to five when she and her husband Jonathon adopted Hannah, 7, five years ago from China. Abandoned baby girls resultant of the country's one child policy led the Snows toward the process of adopting their first and only daughter.
On Saturday March 13, Arms of Hope, Family Connections and One Child International will hold an informational conference for those considering adoption but may find the process daunting.
"We're wanting more people to know about adoption, what a wonderful thing it is and can be," said Snow, who helped establish Arms of Hope last year. "There's so many people who are open to it but it's such a vague, scary thing to enter. How do you start? How do you pick a country? How can you afford it? [The process] just paralyzes people in their tracks."
The half-day conference will provide insight into these fundamental topics through sundry workshops and, ultimately, a Q&A session with adoptive parents. Guest speaker Tim Baker, co-founder of Shepherd's Fields Children's Village in China, will focus on special needs adoptions as well as the realities of living in a Chinese orphanage.
"Adoption has been such a blessing for my entire family," Snow said. "I would hate for someone to miss out on their own "Hannah" because of fear or the maze of the adoption process."
Arms of Hope embraces world's children
In 2009, Snow and six other women from Eastern Hills Bible Church in Manlius established Arms of Hope shortly upon returning from an eight-day trip to visit orphans in Guatemala.
"We wanted to go love them and serve them and show them that there was something more out there, that, you know, this is what love feels like," Snow said. "We really wanted to go share Christ's hope and love. It was a beautiful, life-changing experience."

WHO CAN CLINCH: The Boston Bruins can clinch the Northeast Division if they beat the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Tampa Bay Lightning will secure a playoff berth if they beat the Pittsburg Penguins. The Canucks will seize the Presidents' Trophy with a victory over the Los Angeles Kings combined with a regulation loss by the Philadelphia Flyers, who face the Atlanta Thrashers. The San Jose Sharks are in with regulation win over the Dallas Stars.
ALREADY IN: Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington.
GAME OF THE NIGHT: Toronto Maple Leafs (35-32-10) at Boston Bruins (43-23-10), 7 p.m. ET
Toronto won the last two meetings of these Original Six franchises and it probably needs to make it three in a row to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The Leafs enter the night seven points behind both the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers, who each have 87 points and occupy seventh and eighth place, respectively.
The task is not an easy one tonight for the Leafs, who will need to get the puck past Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas. Thomas has won his last four starts and has a 0.50 goals-against average during that stretch, which includes a 3-0 shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. He has nine shutouts this season, the most for a Bruin since Byron Dafoe (10) in 1998-99. The Leafs' young goalie, James Reimer, has also kept them competitive for weeks. He leads all rookies in save percentage (.922) and is 13-4-4 in his last 21 decisions.
ALTERNATIVE VIEWING: Los Angeles Kings (44-26-6) at Vancouver Canucks (51-17-9), 10 p.m. ET
The Kings have so far have not felt the absences of their top two scorers. The Kings have won all three games minus Justin Williams (out at least another three weeks with a separated shoulder suffered March 21) and their victory Tuesday over the Edmonton Oilers came without Anze Kopitar (out indefinitely with torn ligaments in his ankle). Los Angeles enters on a four-game winning streak overall, but the biggest test comes tonight against a team that can clinch the Presidents' Trophy for the first time in franchise history.
GOLF WATCH: The Columbus Blue Jackets need to win tonight to remain in the mix. The Atlanta Thrashers need to get at least one point tonight. Ottawa, Florida, New York Islanders, Colorado and Edmonton have already mathematically out of it.
-- A.J. Perez
