<hiero> tag and WikiHiero
Is it possible to introduce support for WikiHiero on Conservapedia? On Wikipedia it is possible to insert hieroglyphs into an article using this tag along with the WikiHiero syntax to enter the signs correctly. It'd be useful to have this feature here too. --Krysg 07:54, 10 December 2008 (EST)
Someone is trying to steal my password
I recently received this E-mail:
Someone (probably you, from IP address 188.8.131.52) requested that we send you a new password for Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php). The password for user "Kuyper" is now "[removed]". You should log in and change your password now. If someone else made this request or if you have remembered your password and you no longer wish to change it, you may ignore this message and continue using your old password.
You might want to consider looking into this as hacking is a serious problem. Kuyper 16:50, 28 December 2008 (EST)
- The operative phrase is below. There wasn't any "hacking" or even "cracking" here.
If someone else made this request or if you have remembered your password and you no longer wish to change it, you may ignore this message and continue using your old password.

How to edit?
I read the article on Barak Obama. Basically, it is a train wreck. I am not an expert on him, but I thought I could at least take out all the snide innuendo's, and even if the artilce is much shorter, at least it will be more credible. He is, after all, the President of the United States, and deserves some minimal respect.
However, I have no idea how to edit articles on this thing, and there is just about no help or assistance. It certainly does not seem to be user friendly.
So, I am just about ready to give up.
I also read the article on Virgnia, since that is where I am from. Under the list of counties, it only had about half of them. It was a terribel article. I do not understand how this organizaiton works, but many of the articles are not vey good, and then when you invite people to edit them, how do we do it?
Daniel Sharp
- With all due respect, your misspellings are the worst I've seen. Please improve and then try to improve the Virginia article, with good spelling. Thanks much, and Godspeed.--Andy Schlafly 21:44, 18 January 2009 (EST)
- As well as the links that I've just put on your user talk page, see Help:Contents for some more advice. However, that help is not designed for someone who has never edited a Wiki before. Philip J. Rayment 23:37, 18 January 2009 (EST)
- Daniel Sharp is also user Lucy Jordan? I'm really confused here. --₮K/Admin/Talk 01:52, 19 January 2009 (EST)
There are some very serious problems with the entries concerning topics related to Confucianism. Many of entries are not strictly incorrect but are sufficiently superficial to be grossly misleading. When it comes to topics as foreign as Confucianism, brevity is not your friend. I will try to help, but unfortunately I do not have the time or the resources to do everything that needs doing. You need a total overhaul.
Noah's Ark Page Locked
I would like to create responses to the criticisms on the Noah's Ark article but the page has been locked by an administrator. The problem is that the locking admin (MountainDew/DanH) is MIA.
Can I get a little help? CherylE 12:54, 29 January 2009 (EST)
- I've unlocked it. Philip J. Rayment 15:02, 29 January 2009 (EST)
Multiple Problems
I've made many edits this month, but most of them have disappeared from "my contributions" and from the pages I edited. Also, many of the math pages (e.g. Covariance) can't display formulas properly. Finally, another user made an edit to my user page a while ago. But that edit has also disappeared from the record. What's going on? Sjay 21:11, 30 January 2009 (EST)
- Conservapedia suffered a hard drive failure earlier this week. We restored up until the 19th, and are adding more current revisions manually, as we find them viable. Sorry for the loss, it has effected all of us. Look for bits and pieces to appear back slowly, bit by bit. --₮K/Admin/Talk 01:17, 31 January 2009 (EST)
- The hard drive failure explains the missing edits, but why isn't the math environment working? The following should appear as an equation, but doesn't:
- At the moment, this problem is present on every page I've looked at (Linear model, Normal distribution, etc...). Sjay 10:34, 31 January 2009 (EST)
- The math problems are a problem related to moving to a new server. Other, more major issues are taking priority over the math. I'll get to is soon though. CPWebmaster 16:30, 3 February 2009 (EST)
Messed up linking...
I created a new page for the Show hannity that took over Hannity and colmes. I'm not sure what I did, but linking to Hannity & Colmes directs to Hannity. If an admin could let me know what I did wrong so I can fix it, that would be great. Thanks.--Tyler 23:58, 1 February 2009 (EST)
- Well I found the problem, Hannity & Colmes is for some reason linking to Hannity and not Hannity and Colmes...--Tyler 00:04, 2 February 2009 (EST)
- We've had problems in the past with ampersands in article names, although I thought that problem had disappeared. Perhaps it is back again. Philip J. Rayment 08:16, 3 February 2009 (EST)
New outage?
The past few times I've checked the site all the pages were protected. One time was around 3PM. Was there an extension of the 1-6AM closing? CMcFreeze 09:55, 8 February 2009 (EST)
- Conservapedia's editing is turned off over-night, for all but Administrators and specially righted editors. That would generally be between Midnight and 6:00AM, Eastern Standard Time, U.S. --₮K/Admin/Talk 17:02, 8 February 2009 (EST)
Article Wikipedia says "Wikipedia bills itself as a democracy." However, here, Wikipedia clearly does not bill itself as a democracy. Regards, J 19:57, 21 March 2009 (EDT)
Requested move of Hull City F.C.
Not sure if this is the right place, but can the article Hull City F.C. please be moved to Hull City A.F.C, as that is the correct name of the club. (see the badge and the club website here. Thanks, Ozoo 14:56, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
How to start?
Just joined and want to edit an article.
If I know that part of the information is incorrect should I first describe the changes I'm going to make on the talk page or should I just go ahead and make the changes? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ChrisMH -- 09:08, 1 December 2009 (EST) (talk)
- Glad you joined! In my totally unofficial opinion: If the article's been undergoing a lot of controversy recently, or if there's been controversy before about the issues you want to address, I'd describe the changes. If it's been undergoing a lot of editing recently, and the changes are major, I'd describe them. Otherwise, I'd go right ahead and edit; if someone objects, he can always (revert and) describe his objections. This's what I'd do; it's definitely not official policy. --EvanW 11:27, 1 December 2009 (EST)
- Chris, the important thing to remember is that encyclopedia's rely on facts. That means having verifiable sources included with your edits. If you or I know something is a fact, and we add it to an article, that doesn't help other users without their ability to confirm it with a reliable source. Please check the links I placed on your talk page, including our Manual of Style for help. Our Guidelines will also be of help. Remember part of your online reputation includes not using anonymous proxies to mask your location. That said, welcome to you as well, and that is the official word on your question! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 11:43, 1 December 2009 (EST)
I noticed your main page states "wikiproject" - I recommend changing to "pediaproject" or something along those lines; don't want to reinforce or reference wikipedia, sticking to conservapedia. sw
Technical problem creating AT&T article
I've recently attempted to create an article about telephone giant AT&T, but having technical difficulties. The article is created, but attempting to view the article results in an error message stating that there is no article for "AT." Basically, attempting to view "AT&T" results in "AT" being displayed. Anyway we can fix this? AT&T is the largest telephone provider worldwide, certainly worthy of an article if Vodafone is. DMorris 22:21, 27 December 2009 (EST)
Keep Needing to Reset My Password
I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place; I'm still relatively new here. After I log out every time, the next time I log in, the form says that my password is incorrect. I e-mail myself a new password, then promptly change my password to something new. The website accepts it and I log in, but after I log out and try to log back in, the same situation happens. Could this because I'm trying to log in from a blocked IP? I'm at a university campus where account creation is blocked by IP, but I spoke with TK and was cleared to create an account from my home IP. Thank you for the help! Tzoran 14:50, 1 February 2010 (EST)
My new article.
Hi there. I've added the article Nick Clegg. I've researched it, and tried to make it work. I'd really appreciate if somebody would take a look and let me know if it's the right kind of style. Thank you. --Newton 12:21, 11 March 2010 (EST)
Regarding the UK
Hello. I'd like to take a serious role in the UK side of Conservapedia, and try to get some serious articles done about the United Kingdom from a proper Christian conservative point of view. Peraonlly, I think that all of the political parties in the United Kingdom are liberal.. it's just a matter of being more or less liberal. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, sorry for rambling...
If any of the administrators would like to request an article about the UK, please let me know on my talk page. I'm more than happy to accept writing assignments. Who knows? Maybe if I write enough good articles, you'll come to think of me as your 'UK Politics & Religion Editor.'
I'm going to bed now, take care. --Newton 23:49, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
- Thanks, Newton! Dive right in, and I am certain any of us who see the need will do as you ask and post on your talk page. I am sure many of the U.K articles we have are in need, as some I have spotted misleading information and removed it. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 00:58, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
- Is there a way that I could possibly edit during your night-time period? Who would I speak to about this? At the moment, I can't edit before 10am. On days when I'm in class, I'm often up at 7am or 8am, and have a lot of free time to edit. --Newton 19:12, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
- Sorry Newton, you have to earn that through contributions--Jpatt 19:16, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
- Okay, that's reasonable. Thanks for your quick reply. --Newton 19:20, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
User:Pcook is on a vandalism spree, please block him!!! I can't edit the abuse reports section! Newton 13:31, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
- Wuhao1911 blocked him, thank you. I have removed all of his edits. At first I just removed the obvious vandalism, but then I noticed the blasphemous comments and that he has inserted parts into peoples' debate arguements, so it is all gone. Newton 13:34, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
User:YeVeg (is that how you type a username?) is engaging in excessive vandalism, some of it racist. RichardKerry 08:04, 16 April 2010 (EDT)
Content for Geeks
I've noticed that Conservapedia seems to lack some content that could be useful to geeks. Being a geek myself, I was wondering if I could write or at least recommend articles to be written or updated for the geek/technophile audience. Articles for HTTP and XML are missing entirely. Examples could be added to Java, SQL, and JavaScript. Finally, XHTML could probably be set as a redirect to HTML in the way Kitty redirects to Cat. This is just an idea, please don't flame me. (JlHawkwell 14:25, 2 August 2010 (EDT))
- You are registered here, and adding technical articles such as you suggest doesn't need permission or discussion to add, JlHawkwell. Please proceed! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 14:35, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
What should I edit?
Would you mind if I do some massive expansion of chemistry articles here? --LK 10:07, 16 November 2010 (EST)
- I believe Mr. Schlafly responded to this same question on his talk page, so please proceed. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 14:27, 16 November 2010 (EST)
"Slug" article - Candidate For Deletion
I don't mean to complain, but the article "Slug" is just so embarrassingly bad in so many different ways that it should be deleted. I don't have the energy to write an article on slugs - because this thing is not really editable - somebody should start over. PaulBurnett 00:47, 27 November 2010 (EST)
- Looks like Karajou removed the false information that was added by vandal trolls, Paul. I think you can now delete such articles or alter them, as you see fit. :D --ṬK/Admin/Talk 01:56, 27 November 2010 (EST)
403 Errors
I participate as a Conservative on another board. One of the members of my group has been a regular user of Conservapedia, but recently began having difficulty accessing your site. She is getting 403 errors. I would appreciate it if you would give me an e-mail address that I can pass on to her so that she may contact someone with your site in order to find out why she is being forbidden access.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I May Have Been Blocked but I wasn't
Hey. I don't know if this is the place to post this, but it didn't seem to fit into any of the other categories. A user posted on my talk page that I was blocked and didn't sign it. I have only made a few edits and am very new here and no reason was specified for the block. However, I am still able to edit pages so I don't think I was actually blocked. So what is going on? Thank you. Gregkochuconn 09:39, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
- nope! you're not blocked, or you wouldn't be able to edit - the user was a vandal.--IDuan 09:41, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
CBP compilations
Hello, I am trying to get the latest CBP compilations, when I click on the "click hear" it directs me to a google group i am not a part of and don't have sufficient permissions for. I downloaded the pdfs awhile back to start reading, am I obviously missing something on how to get the pdf compilations or is that out of commission? Thank You
- Good question. The pdf compilations have been a helpful format, but I'm not sure if they are up to date. I will look into this. Thanks for the inquiry.--Andy Schlafly 23:37, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
Thank You
Hello again, Any luck on the compilations? still can't access them.

Weird error on Bias in Wikipedia page
I'm trying to edit Bias in Wikipedia. I tried to remove an item from the list that I moved to another page, but I get this error:
The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: p u e r i l e Return to Examples of Bias in Wikipedia.
How can I edit the page? I'm not doing anything related to that word or link. In fact I had to add spaces to the word on this page to get it to save! RickTx 17:10, 26 April 2012 (EDT)
- I don't know. Maybe some automatic filter that is attempting to filter childish edits is actually filtering edits that have a synonym for childish. Let's see if this gets blocked. Gregkochuconn 15:08, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
Could someone please correct the spelling of "Nazism" in the Bias in Wikipedia navbox (or infobox, I always mix those up). It is spelled "Naziism" but the template is protected. When you are done, you should also move the page on Nazism, Communism, and whatever else we lumped in there to reflect the proper spelling. I don't want to do that first or it will cause problems in the interim. Gregkochuconn 15:06, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
Profanity in Proper Name
What should be done about a moderate profanity in a proper name? I'm trying to make an article about the 2010 New York Gubernatorial Election, but I realized that one of the parties was the "Rent is Too D*** High Party", with the censored word spelled out in the official name. Should I spell out the word, since that is the official name of the Party? Keep in mind that Jimmy McMillan, who was the party's nominee, sued the NY Board of Elections to keep that word in the Party name after they took it out for length reasons (they eventually settled out of court by shortening "Too" to "2" and keeping it under the maximum length). I don't want him suing Conservapedia if we take it out, and I wouldn't put it past him to do so. Gregkochuconn 15:07, 28 May 2012 (EDT)
Blocked and no idea how to let you know about a great article for the news
Blitzman: Hello, I was blocked in 2009 by TK for reasons he/she would not tell me. I saw some typos in several pages but did not want to write any articles. If I did something wrong tell me. I was Blitzman just added Blitzman7 so I could add this. I have no idea why you don't have a contact us area?!?! I wanted to tell you to post this news article on the main page if you want: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/creationists-convince-south-korean-officials-to-remove-evolutionary-references-from-high-school-textbooks/
If this does not post I give up.

The sad tale of Browns' wide receiver Donte Stallworth has reached an unsurprising end, as Miami police are set to charge him with DUI manslaughter for mowing down 59-year-old Mario Reyes.
What this will mean for the rest of Stallworth's season is uncertain, but based on those early BAC readings that were circulating around, he'll probably have to do some jail time eventually. Stallworth hasn't been talking about the accident that much after he released his "grief stricken" apology to the Reyes family. Well there was also that ridiculous "I flashed my lights" statement that he gave to police after the accident, but that probably didn't earn him any sympathizers.(Seriously — most people don't even flash their lights for geese or squirrels. They just STOP.)
And as was noted before, Stallworth was part of the NFL's voluntary substance abuse program. That stay, combined with this latest incident, is probably not going to earn him any merit badges from Roger Goodell.

WASHINGTON — The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Sunday that any attempt at comprehensive immigration legislation cannot offer a "special pathway to citizenship" for those in the United States illegally.
That approach could block the GOP's hopes of ever winning the White House, the top Democrat in the House predicted.
With last week's Senate passage of a comprehensive immigration bill, the emotionally heated and politically perilous debate is heading toward the Republican-led House, where conservative incumbents could face primary challenges if they appear too lenient on the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who leads the House Judiciary Committee, said he does not foresee a proposal that could provide a simple mechanism for immigrants here illegally to earn full standing as U.S. citizens, as many Democrats have demanded.
Goodlatte's committee members have been working on bills that address individual concerns but have not written a comprehensive proposal to match the Senate's effort.
The House answer would not be "a special pathway to citizenship where people who are here unlawfully get something that people who have worked for decades to immigrate lawfully do not have," he said.
A pathway to legal standing, similar to immigrants who have green cards, could be an option, he said.
That approach, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said, would bring electoral doom for Republicans looking to take back the White House after the 2016 elections. Republicans, she advised, should follow the Senate lead "if they ever want to win a presidential race."
"We wouldn't even be where we are right now had it not been that 70 percent of Hispanics voted for President (Barack) Obama, voted Democratic in the last election," Pelosi said. "That caused an epiphany in the Senate, that's for sure. So, all of a sudden now, we have already passed comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate. That's a big victory."

ATLANTA, Ga. – With competition turning fierce in the fight for spots in the NCAA Preliminary Rounds, the Lipscomb track and field teams turned in impressive performances at this weekend's Georgia Tech Invitational.
Sophomore Dani Walker capped a strong season with a school-record 800m run, finishing 11th with a 2:09.73s mark. She also earned a third-place mark in the 5000m run with a 17:10.20s mark.

Sophomore Alex Newby (10th, 17:46.68s), freshman Maggie Lawrence (18:03.21s), senior Louisa van Batavia (15th, 18:21.93s) and freshman Renee' Menzie (16th, 18:27.15s) also competed in the 5K.
Junior Geoff Musick (22nd, 15:47.94s) competed in the men's 5000m run.
April Terry ended her freshman season as the owner of four school-records, including the shot put record set Friday. She finished sixth at 12.70m (41' 8").
In the 3000m steeplechase, junior Ashton Fisher came in fourth with a 9:33.87s mark.
Sophomore Tucker Peabody and freshman Colin Dempster had tough days in the sprints. Peabody finished 32nd in the 100m dash at 10.77s, while Dempster's 48.34s mark placed him 35th.

Hey All,
I am planning a trip with my partner to Los Angeles in late July 2013. She is going for a holiday and will travel to New York, while I just want to chill on the beach and kite.
Can any locals advise me on accommodation, riding locations and wind consistency around this time? I understand the whole coast has multiple riding options, and I can travel. Is it worth just staying in San Fran, as I understand it is windier there?
I am looking for waves rather than flat water, so that might narrow things down a bit. I love 20+kts (20-30mph) and I'll want to ride my 8m Naish Park with my surfboard.
Thanks heaps guys
P.S - Let me know if you need any info on kiting east cost of Australia!!

With the holiday season comes that most sacred of holiday traditions which is, or course, drinking heavily for the month of Decemeber.

The industry, er, holiday known as Christmas dominates not only the last two months of each year, but has also spawned its own genre of film. There are good holiday flicks ('National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'), mediocre ones ('Jingle All the Way') and ones so awful, we'd rather drink expired egg nog than be forced to sit through them ('Christmas With the Kranks'). And then there are the films set during Christmas that over time have become required viewing for anyone who is sick of yet another airing of 'Miracle on 34th St.' … READ MORE

The Business of Your Life
This blog will be on tumblr and be linked to an existing web page which offers a free online entrepreneurship course and contacts for support groups to start and grow your business and build real working relationships. The blog will have text posts, audio messages, and videos designed to give people daily bits of interesting information, encouragement, and motivation.

Superuse Studios was founded in 1997 by Césare Peeren and Jan Jongert and has become a pioneer in the field of sustainable design. The firm is renowned nationally and internationally for its innovative design approach as well as for providing 'open source' methods and tools to the design community. All with the aim to make effective use of frequently wasted resources and energy.
The studios are currently run by 5 engineers all specialists in their own fields; interventions, design, architecture, urbanism and research. They team up in different combinations to match a projects needs. This is what makes their design approach flexible and easy to apply at different scales and to concepts such as social design, urban farming, the circular and the blue economy.
Superuse studios researches, designs, builds innovative products, interiors and buildings and develops strategies for smart urban transformations.
In detail:
Nature is a cyclical and dynamic system, typified by diversity and ever-changing interconnections. Generally processes grow and shrink, but diversity is always maintained.
By contrast, our society is a linear and rigid system, typified by homogeneity and a desire to fix existing connections. As a result parallel processes grow in scale and diversity is minimised. This leads to huge amounts of waste and to a waste of resources. Unemployment, mountains of trash and energy loss are accepted down sides of our current system.
We believe we should interconnect the systems of our society and include the systems of nature. For 21 years we have been working on methods and tools to do so. With our tools and methods we aim to transform our current society into a more sustainable one, and make more effective use of resources, energy and manpower.
Looking at a building, neighbourhood, city or region as a system, we can see how much resource, energy and manpower flows in and out of the system. And most comes out of it as 'waste'. By connecting parts of the system we can make effective use of these waste flows. These connections are what we call 'CYCLIFIERS'. They drive offer and demand and are not only sustainable solutions but offer business opportunities too.

Cisco Beach Quarter Round Molding by Shaw
Cisco Beach Quarter Round Molding by Shaw measures 0.75 X 78.00 and is also available as Overlap Reducers, Stair Caps, Baby Thresholds and T-Molds. You can download printable measurement specs here. These moldings (moulding), end caps, and trim cover unprotected and unfinished edges of your floor and help with transitions involving doors, stairs, fireplaces, and even room to room.
Use T-molding and overlap reducers when transitioning between two distinct floors. Specifically, use T-molding when the floors are the same height and overlap reducers when the rooms vary slightly with height. Stair caps and flush stair noses both absorb the impact put on stairs. Quarter-round molding can be used along a perimeter of a room to seamlessly finish your floor's look. Baby thresholds (end caps) are often used against sliding doors, fireplaces and in other areas where hardwoods meet carpet.

I personally liked this episode more than the first two. As Nothingwillbebewong also said, it felt like Berserk to me.
Still drawings that any amateur could produce on which the camera slides painfully.
Beherit is barely hinted at, and the flashing images that change every milisecond didnt really help either. It way too fast for what they were trying to accomplish ( to explain it to new fans )
I had a suspicion that I just verified. Time on screen that Guts' appendage is in an apostle's mouth. Berserk Golden Age Arc - Descent: Volkov: 1 minute 45 seconds. (1:24:04-1:25:49)Berserk (2016) - Episode 3: Boar/Dog Apostle: 2 minutes 8 seconds. (10:04-12:12)
Also I just noticed, as Guts is struggling to kill the apostle, Puck says "Do it like usual!" Which struck me as odd. He's only seen Guts fight skeletons and a tree so far, right? Are they getting their changes confused? So far he's been floored three times in three episodes: the possessed tree, the Holy Iron Chain Knights, and the apostle. Huh... Yeah, this isn't really the Guts that I know.
I don't feel as though I'm on the hatetrain bandwagon for this series. This is just how I genuinely felt after watching this episode. It's very disheartening as a huge fan.

I went to Tokyo Japan to study abroad. I am from the United States. Was very cool, met some amazing people. I will go back. Safety is such a huge contributor to what makes Japan such a wonderful place. It changes so much more than you would expect. Being from the States you can't go out late without the possibility of running into sketchy people. I hope to travel to many new places in the future. One day I will hopefully fulfill my dreams of being a buff playboy/millionaire/filmmaker. Oh and of course Ill go back to Japan.

The legend lives on.
We thought Zipp would stop tinkering with its 900 Disc Tubular Road Wheel. But this latest version is 90g lighter than the previous generation Zipp disc. It still has only 19mm of frontal area, so it's still nearly invisible to the wind. It still has a dimpling pattern that's specific to the 900, which helps smooth the air flow in order to minimize drag. Its Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) carbon fiber skins are embossed with over 4900 golf ball-like dimples in five different sizes that are patterned to force the airflow to form less turbulent boundary layers. In other words, you get less drag in all wind angles, as well as less buffeting of the disc in crosswinds. The result is the fastest disc that Zipp's ever tested.
The Zipp 900 tubular disc wheel is only available as a tubular. The wheel was constructed from two sheets of hand-laid carbon fiber with a honeycomb core. For the standard disc, there's a track adapter so the wheel is able to be used as a fixed-gear. The cassette body is also able to come with Campagnolo splines or Shimano/SRAM splines for the appropriate cassettes. The hub bearings are capable of being upgraded to ceramic. The disc comes with an angled valve adapter so that the tire can be pumped up and six Zipp "jersey" patches for covering the valve cutout. The Zipp disc weighs 935g in the 700c version.

Lady Gaga Fans Burn Madonna T-Shirt Outside Her Hotel
Brazilian little monsters may have edged out the "competition" when it comes to which geographical location is teeming with the most dedicated Lady Gaga fans in existence.
They didn't burn an effigy of Lady Gaga's nemesis Madonna, but they came pretty darn close. Instead, they burned a t-shirt with Madge's face depicted on it. That's some serious love and dedication right there.
In the video, the proud little monsters started a chant -- they say Madge's name -- and set the white shirt ablaze right out front of the hotel in which the Mother Monster was shacked up.
PopCrushers, what do you guys think? Is this just a display of devotion to Ma Monster, or is this act over the top?

Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team. The nanoHUB contains many more resources for nanoelectronics, and they can be located with the nanoHUB search function. To find all nanoelectronics resources, search for 'nanoelectronics.'

Ciganda wins rain-shortened event in Germany
Munich, Germany – Carlota Ciganda birdied the first playoff hole on Sunday to beat Charley Hull and win the rain-shortened Ladies German Open.
Thursday's first round was the lone round completed as scheduled after rain washed out play on Friday. Officials made the cut for Saturday's play, but those that advanced only finished nine holes.
The only play on Sunday was the playoff as rain drenched Golfpark Gut Hausern. Ciganda and Hull played the par-3 15th in a downpour. After Hull missed her birdie try from about 20 feet out, Ciganda drained her 6-footer for the win.
The duo finished 27 holes tied at 6-under 101. Hull, who tops the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit, finished second for the fifth time this season.
Rebecca Hudson took third at minus-5, while Marjet Van Der Graaff, Linda Wessberg, Nontaya Srisawang and Stefanie Michl shared fourth place at minus-4.

MAARET MISREEN, Syria -- The new Syrian rebel chief said he's been moving between safe houses since taking up command, even changing quarters twice in one night when he feared regime spies.
Grappling with largely untrained and at times undisciplined fighters, Salim Idris said in an interview that he is trying to turn local militias into a united force of some 120,000 men for a final push against President Bashar Assad.
The challenges keep him awake at night, said Idris, a former general who defected from the Syrian army five months ago and was chosen as rebel chief of staff in a meeting of several hundred field commanders this month in Turkey.
Idris is "very afraid" a cornered Assad might unleash chemical weapons on the fighters. He said old friends of his still in the regime have warned him that the military, which already fired several Scuds, is training more ready-to-fire missiles on rebel strongholds in Syria's northwest. Full story…

There's a new service out there, Snipt, for Twitter that enables folks to post code quickly. Basically, go to Snipt, cut and paste your code into the box and you get a small URL that people can go back to. Snipt takes your code and puts it into an image with a short URL. I did a quick search to see if anyone was using and found a couple of twits. Someone pointed out the incorrect usage of the alt image tech, I won't mention on which site:). Here's the test I threw up with some C# code. Looks like fun, especially if it helps clean up some code. I guess you can use it for more than code as well.
Tweetdeck is helping to identify how services like these could be more usefull, ell, the search feature on tweetdeck. For example, looking for some code to do x, setup a search in tweetdeck for x, go back to it everyone once in a while and wala, there's your solution. Well, that's the theory….

It was a good week to be a vikingman.
Along with watching Adrian Peterson rumble over the 2000-yard mark while his Minnesota Vikings slid into a playoff berth, Bayfields Nate Andrys clinched his own top spot in Week 17 of the local Gridiron Green.
Andrys, online handle vikingman, went 14-for-16.
And the Minnesota domination just kept on coming: Scott Rgnonti of Lakeville, Minn., won the national Green with a perfect score.
But Andrys Week 17 win couldnt quite match the outcome on the real-life gridiron; packerfan Ann Laws didnt let Green Bays final-week flop drag her down. Of our weekly winners, Laws, the Week 2 winner, stayed on top with 174 points, two slots ahead of vikingman and his 167. That tied Andrys with Week 12 winner Michael Rome of Durango, while fellow Duragoan Jeff Wells, the Week 15 winner, finished second with 168.
They say it aint over till its over. Well, its over: overall, daniel didnt relent after jumping tholeman last week for the top spot in the Gridiron Green, and with regular-season football at and end, thats where hell stay.
With 179 points, daniel, who scored double digits in all but five rounds, tops the Gridiron Green field, while tholeman and edonelan tied just behind at 176. Those top two held up in the Gridiron Gold, too, and bsdossey followed in third with 174.
The Gridiron Guru was 12-4 in Week 17 to up this years mark to 163.5-91.5. On to the wild cards:
Saturday, Jan. 5
Cincinnati at Houston, 2:30 p.m. (KOBF, KUSA) the Texans had that first-round bye wrapped up weeks ago, right? Guess not. In this rematch of last years nearly identical wild-card-weekend kickoff, Houston needs to turn their steer around. But after dropping three of their last four, this Texas stampede has too much momentum to pull up before the cliff. Pick: Bengals 24-17. Line: Texans by 4½.
Minnesota at Green Bay, 6 p.m. (KOBF, KUSA) sorry, vikingman, Minnesotas sweet stretch is about to turn sour the Pack doesnt lose at Lambeau in the playoffs. The forcast: a balmy 27 degrees with a chance of snow flurries and touchdowns aplenty. Sure, Peterson will shred Green Bays depleted defense, but Aaron Rodgers will one-up AD all day. Pick: Packers 33-27. Line: Packers by 7½.
Sunday, Jan. 6
Indianapolis at Baltimore, 11 a.m. (KCNC, KREZ) Chuckstrong lives on. The Colts without Chuck Pagano: hot. The Colts with Pagano: hotter. The Colts with Baltimores old d-coordinator on the sidelines: divisional playoffs. The Ravens have been hurting since their geriatric defense started adding injuries to age. Add a pinch of good (Andrew) Luck, and Ray Lewis returns Sunday for the final game of his career. Pick: Colts 24-17 Line: Ravens by 6½
Seattle at Washington, 2:30 p.m. (KASA) Offensive rookie of the year vs. runner-up? Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are the hottest team in the NFL, but the RG3-led Redskins cant be far behind. Griffin might edge Wilson in the rookie competition due to their interception differential (5 to 10), but against the 30th-ranked Redskins pass D, Wilson will carve, while Seattles solid defense holds solid. Pick: Seattle 27-17. Line: Seahawks by 3.

Mixing powerpop, hip-hop, new wave, rock and folk, the band has come up with a melodic sound, complete with instantly memorable songs that are big on anthemic choruses. Amid a flurry of activity, Mad Traffic is preparing to tour this summer. But, in the meantime, it will release a new single, "Thunder & Lightning," on
April 20 with a CD-release show at Mother's Saloon. Then, on April 28, the band will appear on the FM94.9 program, "The Local Pyle," with host Tim Pyles. The band will wrap up the month with the release of an EP, "City," and adjacent release show at the Casbah on April 29.
Mad Traffic was formed in 2008, shortly after singer Blaise Guld moved to California from Philadelphia in search of new inspiration. He soon met drummer Dave Torr. The two ended up renting a house in Clairemont and holding living-room jam sessions and nascent songwriting sessions.
"We tried a couple of different bassists and started with two guitarists, but in the end the group grew into what it is almost organically," Guld said.
Torr suggested trying out guitarist Brian Fletcher, as well as bassist Chris Murray, who he knew from local reggae band High Tide. Blaise Garza was the last member to join Mad Traffic.
"He had been playing in another local project with Dave and came to one of our band practices one day," Guld said. "He jumped into some of our songs with his saxophone and we all knew that night that this was going to be our band."
Though the quintet has been gigging since 2008, it didn't rush the decision to become Mad Traffic.
"We played many shows nameless and used random names we came up with, like, 'Tambourine Space Helmet' and 'Cabbages and Kings,'" Guld said.
One day, Guld was stuck in traffic on the I-5 on the way to a gig, and explaining why he was running late, told band members that there is "Mad fraffic on the freeway!"
"After that, the name seemed to stick and came to represent the bustling streets and lifestyles of Southern California," he said.
While the energetic sound the band conjures up is strong on its own, Guld considers lyrics to be a crucial component of the band. "(I started) writing songs, poem and short stories from an early age," Guld said. "My best friend and I back in Philly wrote a rock opera when we were 15 years old," he recalled. "From then on I knew I wanted to write lyrics and be able to perform them on stage."
Brian Fleck also pens lyrics for the band, inspired by the feeling of the words, not just the literal meanings.
"He and I bounce lyrics off each other sometimes for days or weeks until they congeal into something we can all experience," he continued. "The songs are very visual and sometimes thought provoking, with themes ranging from love to aliens and philosophy."
The band has survived all the usual ups and downs any band does. After four years of preparation, everything seems to be in place to take the band to the next level, from songs to musicianship. Guld is succinct on the reasons why.
"Every band member has been in multiple projects throughout the years," he said. "This band is our life, music is what we care about most," Guld said. "Mad Traffic has stuck together so well because we are all writers, creators and self-innovators. We enjoy the journey of writing a song from start to finish and challenge ourselves and each other to push the envelope of our style."
He points out that everyone is equally involved in the creative process.
"It is like five fathers and the band is our baby," Guld said. "We raised it from an infant over four years ago and it is now getting smarter, reasoning and beginning to understand the way the world works."
Goals for the band this year and next include more touring, recording and releasing new material. Guld said he is happy with what the band has accomplished so far, but he's hungry for more.
"My favorite thing about being in Mad Traffic is writing and playing music with these guys," Guld said. "Every time a song comes together and we all leave band practice feeling like we made a difference somehow."
• Mad Traffic: Saturday, April 20, at Mother's Saloon, 2228 Bacon St., 8 p.m. 21 and up. For more information, visit motherssaloonob.com

South Dakota School Given 4K in Honor of Shooting Victim
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Hair sheared during a daylong cut-a-thon in honor of a slain Sioux Falls salon manager raised more than $4,000 for a scholarship in her memory.
Amanda Connors was shot to death outside the Cost Cutters salon on 41st Street in Sioux Falls on Sept. 11. KDLT-TV reports that on Thursday, the salon handed over the check to Stewart School, where Connors got her cosmetology license. The school has agreed to match up to $2,000.
Twenty-four-year-old Connors died while trying to protect an employee from the employee's boyfriend. Authorities say that Tyrone Smith kidnapped his two children, then went to the salon where his girlfriend worked. He killed Connors, then held his girlfriend, her co-workers and his children hostage briefly before killing himself.

The Many Benefits of Paperboard Packaging
Paperboard packaging provides perks ranging from better microwave cooking to earth-friendliness.
1 of 3 < 1 | 2 | 3 > View on one page
|General Mills used recycled, clay-coated news board for its "Shrek 2" cereal box. The character images can be ironed onto clothing.
In addition, improvements in recycled paperboard are making packaging constructed partially or entirely from recycled board more popular for frozen items and shelf-stable products such as crackers, chocolates and cereals.
Food processors are among the biggest users of paperboard cartons. Data from the "Trends" report of the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) (www.ppcnet.org), Alexandria, Va., show 60 percent of paperboard packaging is produced for food packaging. According to the report, the top paperboard end-use markets for food are beverages, dry foods and frozen foods. The fastest growing markets are retail carry-out, beverages and frozen foods.
Susceptor laminates heat up
Improvements in microwaveable and dual-ovenable packaging — including susceptor technologies — are a key driver for the growing use of paperboard to package frozen foods. Susceptor materials include paperboard with embedded aluminum patterns as well as paperboard laminated to metallized polyester film. The susceptor absorbs microwave energy from the oven, and that energy is transferred to the food as heat.
Susceptor packaging can provide microwave cooking benefits such as crisping, browning and elimination of hot and cold spots. It also delivers cooked-product textures similar to conventional cooking. For example, bread and bakery items microwaved in susceptor materials avoid problems common to microwaving in non-susceptor packaging, such as coming out chewy/tough or soggy/mushy.
Susceptors also make it possible to microwave food products that include an uncooked protein component, such as fish. Raw Sea Foods Inc. (www.rawseafoods.com), New Bedford, Mass., this year introduced its line of Cape Cod Cuisine entrees, meals and appetizers in susceptor trays. The frozen products, which include casseroles, are dual ovenable.
Each of the meals and entrees provides two servings, and the emphasis is on quality. Because Cape Cod Cuisine has a premium positioning — retail pricing is $6.99 to $9.99 — a cook-in package that delivers excellent results in both conventional and microwave ovens was essential. Thanks to the susceptor pattern in the tray, the products "cook thoroughly, throughout the entire container," says Kane Kendall, marketing director for Raw Sea Foods. As an added benefit, the casserole dishes brown on top.
Kendall says Raw Sea Foods considered using crystallized polyester (CPET) trays, but the trays melted in the conventional oven and became pliable in the microwave. And the CPET trays "did not heat nearly as evenly as the susceptor packages," he says. The edges of the dish would be hot and the center cold.
Raw Sea Foods uses MicroRite Even Heating trays from Graphic Packaging International (GPI) Inc. (www.graphicpkg.com), Marietta, Ga., to package Cape Cod Cuisine products. On the trays, an aluminum foil pattern is laminated to a paperboard substrate.
"What I really liked about GPI's tray was that the product seemed to bake in the microwave rather than just heating," Kendall says. In addition, the susceptor tray holds its structure and is more durable than the CPET tray, he says. "It's been a great fit with what we are manufacturing."
Pizza rises, crisps in the microwave
Susceptor packaging is opening doors for packagers of bread and dough-based products, as well. "Susceptor film laminated onto paperboard enhances the crispiness of the food product when it is reheated in a microwave," says a spokesman for MeadWestvaco Packaging Resources Group (www.meadwestvaco.com), Stamford, Conn.
"This is very popular in the hand-held food market," he adds. "With the trend of consumers eating on the run, food companies have developed hand-held pizzas, burritos, pies and other meal-size snack food that can be popped into the microwave and heated up in three minutes to produce a hot and tasty meal on the fly. The susceptor film laminated onto the paperboard substrate is the key factor for the development of this market segment within the food industry."
Kraft Foods Inc. (www.kraftfoods.com), Northfield, Ill., last year introduced its DiGiorno Microwave Rising Crust Pizza. And in May, the company added DiGiorno Microwave Thin Crispy Crust pizza to the product line. Available in standard pizza flavors, these frozen products provide two servings per package.
For both, the packaging includes a modified atmosphere pouch, which the consumer removes before cooking. The pouch is tucked into a tray, which, when turned upside down, becomes a cooking platform for the product. The cooking surface is a paperboard/susceptor laminate.
|The Labatt Blue Tailgate'r package gives beer drinkers a way to chill and carry 28 cans of beer without a cooler.

Edit (response to comments):
Since there are still so many people interested in implementing this, and I am not very often on here, I'll try to respond the comments here:
1) I don't have a full code package with this that I can share. I don't do Android development lately (unfortunately) so I don't even have eclipse on my workstation at moment. Maybe I will do that some day. But I can assure you that this snippet worked and the apps I developed using this technique are still on the market.
2) Step by step process? Probably not... If you dig basics of how Activities and Intents work this code should be pretty self explanatory.
3) I am not 100% sure what file types would work using this technique. I used it for images only. I assume that everything that would work through the Browser app should work through here as well. Try experimenting with the types, follow the standards. Most likely the problem is on the web-server end rather than on Android, you could use Wireshark to see what's really going on.
4) The warning about openFileChooser never used locally is normal, in fact I'm pretty sure it is supposed to give you the warning. If it's not working out for you the problem is somewhere else.
5) I'd be surprised it'd work out of box on honeycomb. There is no source code for honeycomb available as far as I know so I guess no way to check out how the Browser app does it there. But the SDK is still available and someone with reverse engineering skills could quickly determine what methods are they calling there and give it a try.

After 10 years of motion capture garbage, Zemeckis is back where he belongs. I'm sooooooo excited for this movie :D {nm} on Jun 07, 03:30
Yes, Zemeckis should crash more planes. That Castaway one was real good too. {nm} on Jun 07, 06:32
Will this move help to glorify DWI or PWI, in this case? {nm} on Jun 07, 06:33

Royal vacations are the stuff of myth and murmurs. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, was caught on camera having her toes sucked by her financial advisor in St.-Tropez. In the days before she died, Princess Diana was seen in Sardinia lounging on the yacht of a then little-known billionaire playboy, Dodi Al Fayed. And a fairytale proposal between the future King of England, Prince William, and his college sweetheart, Kate Middleton, took place in a remote wilderness lodge facing Mount Kenya.
Royals might have day jobs like no one else's, but when they choose to get away from it all, their vacations become iconic—and at times infamous. Titled aristocracy can pick anywhere in the world for their playground, but season after season, you will find them in the same sandboxes.
"I'm very fond of Greece," says Princess Padmaja Mewar, 31, of Udaipur, India. (The House of Mewar is the world's oldest dynasty, dating back 77 generations to A.D. 734.)
"With its own beauty, culture, and heritage, I love it. I feel different there than I do anywhere else in the world; it's probably the only place that I feel I can relax."
While heads that wear the crown can't always rest easy, they do take breaks. Travel + Leisure takes you to the regal island retreats and elite wilderness resorts where the nobility pack their tiaras away and let loose.
The summer season sees imperial yachts anchoring off Europe's majestic ports of call, like Costa Smeralda on the Italian island of Sardinia, where Saudi princes own many of the villas that dot the shore and sloping hills.
In winter, nobles seek the peerless beaches of Mustique, a three-square-mile Caribbean island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. With only one small hotel, the island—which was "discovered" by Princess Margaret in the 1960s—is an exclusive club for villa rentals, with weekly rates that rival the cost of college tuition.
And for wind-whipped, adrenaline-filled Christmas, the slopes of the Swiss Alps have long provided sovereigns like Prince Charles with excitement and exclusivity. The short days of winter also leave plenty of time for après-ski partying with the well-heeled.
While royal destinations might be grander than our simple ditch-the-desk getaways, the vacations themselves might not be so different after all—filled with relaxation, adventure, and an opportunity to leave the royal pains of everyday life behind. —Sarah Rose
