Is there something to tell about? Some people likes the music on 5.1 or even 7.1 channels? What do you think?
For me, the problem with most multichannel music is the placement of the instruments. I don't want to hear instruments behind me, as when I go to a concert I am not in the middle of the stage. It's not that it does not sound good, it does. I just prefer a good 2 channel setup with good soundstage seperation more.

Unless music is recorded in the studio in more than two channels it's only natural to play it through two speakers. If you're playing media that only contains two channels of music and yet you're playing it through five or more speakers, it's up to the processor or receiver to basically make something up and decide how to distribute things. IMO when it comes to listening to music, less is more. Two ears, two channels, two speakers.
I started out in the audio world by setting up a little home theater for myself and later decided two channel was for me. Maybe surround was just a novelty for me, but the fun wore off quickly and two channel became my new passion. I still enjoy watching movies and hearing bullets fly over my head, just at the movies or on someone elses' system :p
Some properly recorded SACD or DVD audio discs can enhance the "stereo" listening experience by using the center and surround channels to recreate the ambiance of the listening hall without detracting from the front stereo image. Obviously, this is more beneficial for live recordings.
Some recordings (Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon comes to mind) were never intended to present of a coherent front stereo image, but more of a surrealistic surround effect and multichannel is great for that type of thing.
Most recordings are totally "artificial" anyway with multitrack mixing, overdubbing, etc. On these there really isn't any ambiance to recreate.
I think if your preference is for music listening, and your budget is not unlimited, you will get vastly more bang for your buck sticking with a high quality 2 channel system rather than going with a lesser quality multichannel system. For home theater, however, I think its the other way around.
You only have 2 ears!!

I agree with all of them. I like to hear the music as I would hear the music. Multi-channel audio should be reserved for movies almost exclusively since all conversions from from 2-channel to multi-channel tend to do more harm then good.
Lovin that music year after year.

Sorry I'm going to have to be the only dissenter here. I like listening in 5 channel stereo at times & I love multichannel SACD's & DVD-A's! I like utilizing all of my speakers, that's why I got them.

Cathy I'm with you for certain music. I like the multi channel music if it isn't too aggressive in the real channels. Live performances are usually pretty good in multi channel. Stereo was originally conceived to be three channel (left, right and center). Some of the original RCA "Living Stereo" recordings were done in three channel. I suggest the rear channel levels need to be much lower than calibrated for HT. This is my own preference.
Agreed Carl.:)

Tequila, is this what you believe or are you simply asking because this is what all hard cord 2 channel people say?
Do you like listening to all your speakers playing music or not?
There is NO right or wrong here, just different preferences. Don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.

Music in surround mode certainly has a cool factor, but it is artificial, at best. I think it's great for parties; otherwise, 2-channel is the way to go, IMO.

Hi Cathy:
Sometimes I think "damn, the drum is beside me or the guitar is in front" BUT not...the most of my cds are 2 channel music....but is really cool to me hear 4 speakers stereo...too. I like the two ways but i think is more real only two channel or 2.1 with SW. I will buy a pair Rti12 for the 2 channel and I have now 4 rti8 for the multichannel stereo. I think on multichannel is better the SAME type of speaker. Now my budget is not to 4 rti12.:D
Good day.
LOL good enough Tequila!

two ears,,,two channels,, one for each :)
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)
2 channel 4 speakers is all right but when my son plays the stereo in 5.1 mode I always walk in and change it to stereo mode it just sounds weird too me , Ive set around and played with the settings to see if I would like it then. It just doesnt so I dont worry about it anymore. 2 Channel BABY!

Placement of two speakers into the typical room presents a challenge. A cabling budget. Three-Five more loudspeakers to interact with the room.
Sub placement. I'm sure someone out there has the time,money,and space.
Just when you think two are set up perfect some piece of music comes along and.....
I understand you folks who object to having a guitar suddenly pounding out some riff from your blind side, or a saxophone blasting at you from behind. Any reasonable person would agree that a sax in the rear is no damn good.
Listen to 2 ch and then in multi. If you like the realism of two channel great, if you like the effects of multi great. It is entirely up to what you think sounds the best.
I personally find anything more than 2 ch sound to be effects rather than music reproduction.
Just an example. I was at a fellow Polkies house and were listening to Dianna Krall "Live in Paris". WE switched to his HT system and watched and listened to the same performace. As awesome as the HT system sounded, I found that the 2 ch recording reproduced the sound of the instruments and vocals more acurately. Sound effects vs music reproduction.
I think for most recordings you are absolutely correct, the multichannel layer just breaks up the front stage "image". There are a few multichannel SACDs however in which the additional channels only recreate a bit of the acoustical ambiance of the original listening environment, and on those I prefer the multichannel effect.
Originally Posted by pblanc
I'm willing to bet that one of those would be the Jazz at the Pawnshop SACD. One of the great things about his recording is the room ambience and din. With the 2 ch, you feel a part of the audience I can only imagine what it would sound like with multi. . . pretty soon though I'll have my HT rig up and able to listen to it.
I did try and try and try and really think than 2 channel is better for music to ME. Sometimes like me the efects from mch BUT the image from the FRONTS is really better. Now, I am thinking buy another amp to another pair of fronts and another SW to FULL the FRONT stage with real 2.1 sound x 2. That is better than bi-amp....I mean bi-amp and bi-speakers and bi-woffer...:D
AND No surrounds.
The reasons and technology for using surround speakers with 2-channel music sources should be explained. The idea isn't to move a performer to the side or back of the listener; with a properly calibrated surround level this doesn't happen. Note that what's being discussed isn't multi-channel DVDs, DVD-As and SACDs which may intentionally place performers or other sounds discretely in the surround channels; this applies to 2-channel sources only. In the concert hall the majority of the sound(unless we're conducting the orchestra)reaches us as reflected ambience from the sides and back, rather than directly from the front. When all of this taken in by the recording microphones, if the format is 2-channel it has to be mixed into those 2 channels, not as a matter of choice but because there's no place else to put it.
Now, processing such as DPLII and Logic 7 can detect the phase differences which exist in the part of the sound in the 2 channels which is reflected rather than direct and extract it. It's then steered to the surround speakers, where it belongs. Nothing is added, this is simply making the reproduction in our homes sound a little more realistic by reproducing the natural ambience from a direction that more closely duplicates what was heard at the actual performance.
If you're going to continue posting quotes you copied from a Goggle search, please put the info in quotes as not to deceive the noobies into thinking that you actually know anything about audio.
'Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
If the source is recorded without any ambience (such as a recording studio) woudn't two channel still be the wiser choice so that your room can create it's own ambience as if they were playing in your own home? How can you create an ambience that wasn't there to begin with, asuming the recording is not of a live performance.Originally Posted by John K.
I agree, if it wasn't a live recording, the additional channels are a "waste of watts". Your living room isn't going to recreate the ambiance of a concert hall, a jazz club, or an auditorium, however (unless you like using those rather hokey sound effects that you get with the DSPs on most recievers these days).
Joe, You must be psychic. Jazz at the Pawnshop is one of the recordings I was thinking of.
I like to listen in stereo 2ch, but I would have to agree that if multichannel is done right, that ambience is pretty darn cool if implemented correctly. Nothing like truly feeling like you're at the venue.

For one reason, if you know the source of the quote, it can either add/detract from the credibility fo the information.
Sort of like if you are posting information about, let's say smoking. You post a bunch of stuff that says smoking isn't harmful etc. If it's a tobacco company posting it it's probably less credible than if the FDA posted it.
Plagarism isn't cool.
In John K's case, he just doesn't believe in hifi. He likes to post a lot of garbage and pass it off as original thought when in most cases, it isn't. He also seems to not grasp that not everyone hears things the same way.
I plan for the future. - F1Nut
I agree with TroyD. If I ever post anything that I have just read somewhere and have not personally experienced myself, then I like to say so, even if I don't remember the exact source. Furthermore, if I were to quote something verbatim, I'd always put it in quotes and give credit. If it is something you just "lift" from another webpage, I would prefer to just provide a link to that webpage.
The good thing about this forum is when people talk about things they have done / experienced first hand and share with everyone their findings.
You got that right brother the key word is experience. It seems of late there are a lot of yahoos who love to post **** they've read and stick with it like gospel and they haven't even the least experience with it. I'll take one year of experience to 4 years of schooling.Originally Posted by TN_Polk_Lover

Since my initial LINX blog post 20 months ago, we have been engaged in a dialogue with patients from around the world who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Despite my initial trepidation to "blogging", this has been a rewarding experience to hear about patient's problems, their concerns about the current treatments (PPI's and Nissen fundoplication) and simply interacting with them. I thank the patients who have taken time to share their thoughts on the blog.
When our social media manager asked me to provide an update on LINX, I realized that I have been simply responding to patient's questions and I haven't posted any of my thoughts or updates on what is happening with the LINX device.
There are some exciting developments for patients who are interesting in having a LINX implanted.
Use of MRI and LINX
- Torax, the company who designed and manufactures the LINX device, has received FDA support for the use of MRI with the LINX device. This conditional approval allows for patients to undergo and MRI that is 0.7 Tesla or less. I am trying to clarify with our radiologists what a 0.7 Tesla MRI will cover.
- For medicare patients, LINX now has a dedicated procedure code that allows for payment to cover the cost of the hospital portion of implanting the LINX device. The surgeon's fee is a separate code and fee and is usually covered.

- Health Notes
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMultivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMen taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.
The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Comments about GNC Ultra Mega® Green Women's 50 Plus:
These caplets used to be just Ultra Mega Green which you could get in 60 or 120, then they came out with Ultra Mega Green with and without iron very briefly. Now they have Men's and Women's this and that which is a lot of unnecessary junk. It is a rip-off that I can't get Ultra Mega green women's 50 plus (which is the without iron version) in 120 caplet size. I have made a search far and wide of other products and there is nothing else like these out there so I guess I am stuck.

A piece on the best releases new to streaming services and Blu-ray in the last two weeks, including "Noah," "Scanners," and "Life After Beth."
According to the "Die Hard" wiki, John McClane has killed a total of 58 people in the first four "Die Hard" films.
That number seems low, but let's go with it.
So since 1988, when the youngish Det. McClane took that cross-country flight to see estranged wife Holly and wound up singlehandedly quashing the terrorist Hans Gruber and his numerous badly coiffed henchmen (that one guy looked JUST like Huey Lewis), he has killed nearly 60 people, and thwarted hijackers and terrorists. Plus, he's an alcoholic, his wife is now long gone, he has sustained more injuries than all starting quarterbacks in the NFL put together — and he has experienced enough violence to be a first-ballot entrant in the cinematic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Hall of Fame.
You'd think McClane's kids would give him a break for not being there for every dance recital and Little League game, but in "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), it took an attack by a team of cyber-terrorists to reunite him with his estranged daughter. Now, with "A Good Day to Die Hard," McClane has to go all the way to Russia and battle yet another bunch of ruthless master criminals and their henchmen just to get a little closure with his son, to whom he hasn't spoken in years.
Yippee-ki-yay, absentee father.
Granted, in the original "Die Hard," John and Holly probably wouldn't get back together without Hans crashing the Nakatomi holiday party. But director John McTiernan delivered a first-rate action film that became an instant classic: the perfect vehicle for Willis to showcase his wise-ass but slightly vulnerable persona. "Die Hard" worked because we got to know McClane (and the bad guys) before the body count started piling up.
A quarter-century later, McClane has been stripped of any real traces of an actual three-dimensional character. We feel as if we're watching Bruce Willis in a Bruce Willis movie in which Bruce Willis can survive anything while taking out the villains, video-game style. "A Good Day to Die Hard" hits the ground shooting, never giving us a chance to get the least bit involved with any of these characters, including McClane's now-grown son, Jack (Jai Courtney), who keeps reminding "John" (as he persists in calling his dad) he was never there for him, even as they team up to take down a number of high-level Russian thugs.
McClane thinks he's going to Russia to save or at least his support his son, who's been charged with a serious crime, but within 15 minutes of his dad's arrival, Jack has seriously botched an undercover mission.
That's right: Jack McClane is working for the CIA. Somehow Pops, who's been pretty good at solving complex mysteries since the days when he was waiting for important faxes at Dulles airport, had no idea the kid was a top-level undercover spy.
Not that any of this stuff matters. Director John Moore is clearly a fan of Explosion Porn, filling up the screen with great fanning orange flames and crashing helicopters, blowing up buildings and engineering multiple slow-motion scenes in which John and/or his son fly through the air like superheroes without wings, crash through windows and bounce off conveniently placed scaffolding, never sustaining so much as a broken rib or a fractured ankle. Iron Man in his full suit would be experiencing concussion-like symptoms after surviving such abuse.
There was some reason for optimism about this film. I'm a huge fan of the original, and I've enjoyed most of the sequels, even the ludicrous "Live Free or Die Hard." The R rating for "A Good Day to Die Hard" told us they weren't going to skimp on the raw language and the quality kills. And it would be interesting to see where John McClane was in 2013.
Well. Turns out McClane's back with the New York City police department, where he's been since the mid-1980s, give or a take a few years off for suspensions and other setbacks. And he's still fond of the "yippee-ki-yay" punch line, though it's wasted in shameful fashion in this film.
You'd think McClane would be retired from the force, perhaps enjoying the accolades and wealth that should come the way of a man who has fended off four separate major acts of terrorism over the last 25 years. No such luck.
Like the Bond movies, the "Die Hard" films thrive on brilliantly wicked villains. In this edition, we barely know which bad guy is the main bad guy. The script is filled with heavy-handed dialogue about parents and their children, framed by well choreographed but generic action sequences.
We're told another "Die Hard" is in the works. I remember sighing when I heard there was another "Rocky" movie due in 2006 — but "Rocky Balboa" turned out to be a surprisingly powerful and worthy final chapter in a franchise that had lost its way.
Here's hoping the next "Die Hard" provides a similar kind of redemption. John McClane deserves a much stronger salute as he rides off into the sunset.

"Alongside universities, libraries and librarians are now using social media platforms to connect with users in a range of exciting and innovating ways. The latest platform that libraries are experimenting with isInstagram, which allows users to take photos on their smart phones, apply exciting filters and add hashtags, and then share these images online with their followers. Amy Mollett and Anthony McDonnellinvestigate how libraries are making the most of this visually-engaging platform."

It Is My Library! The public can change your mind | by John Berry at Blatant Berry | Library Journal
By John N. Berry III:
"Although it is often perceived as interference, or "meddling," the presumption of ownership by people who live in the jurisdiction of a local public library and their resulting strong opinions about how the place should operate are assets to be nurtured and treasured. Yes, the phenomenon regularly causes disputes about library policies and purposes and makes for controversial community debate. Indeed, library professionals and managers are frequently forced by public opinion, bolstered by media coverage, to operate libraries in ways quite different from their preferred practices."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Good reminder!
Who's library is it anyway?
From torrentfreak
"ReelRadio, a site that streams an archive of often decades-old historical radio shows, has been forced to take down much of its library after the RIAA complained that the site was operating outside the terms of its license. The letter of the law is tight, and the RIAA is insisting that the near 20-year-old site now meets all of its requirements.
When sites like The Pirate Bay come under copyright holder pressure, there is often a big backlash from users who see such action as unfair. That being said, it's generally accepted by both sides that The Pirate Bay courts trouble by, rightly or wrongly, laughing in the face of copyright law.
The situation now faced by ReelRadio, a site dedicated to the streaming of archived historical radio, sits at the other end of the spectrum, but nevertheless the site is still facing potential dismantling by the RIAA."
Karen du Toit's insight:
The problems faced by many archives world-wide!
"The Carnegie UK Trust publication Speaking Volumes: the impact of public libraries on wellbeing shows the wide range of ways in which public libraries can affect the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
Speaking Volumes demonstrates in a clear graphical way how libraries are relevant to four main policy areas: social, economic, cultural and education policy – all of which have an impact on wellbeing.
The leaflet is based on hundreds of examples of practice throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as published evidence of impact. Databases of some of these examples show how public libraries support learning, promote economic wellbeing, act as cultural centres and contribute to the creation of strong and healthy communities."
Via Miguel Mimoso Correia
Karen du Toit's insight:
Continuing relevance of public libraries!
From www
"The library and information community have often been at the forefront of adopting new web technologies, but generally less thought is given to measuring how these technologies are being used. An annual report may mention the number of followers the library's Twitter account has accumulated, or the number of article downloads from its institutional repository, but such a light-touch approach to web metrics neither recognizes its full potential nor acknowledges its limitations. 'Web metrics' is a broad term used to refer to the quantitative measurement of the creation and use of web content. It incorporates both 'webometrics', the quantitative study of web content and use for research purposes, and 'web analytics', the quantitative study of web content and use for the evaluation and improvement of a service." -

Библиотекари - учителя. Во многих библиотеках есть компьютеры, которые библиотекари используют для обучения различных категорий пользователей.

Мы должны знать, по крайней мере, основы компьютерных технологий. В большинстве случаев, мы знаем больше, и если мы не уверены в точном ответе , то знаем, как его найти.Библиотекари - рекламодатели. Библиотеки в основном сами управляют своими связями с общественностью и рекламой собственных услуг и событий ( обычно почти без бюджета). Библиотекари пишут пресс-релизы, ведут страницы в соцсетях, налаживают связи, а также создаютсвои собственные логотипы и графический дизайн. Когда дело доходит до графических программ, библиотекари изучают их самостоятельноБиблиотекари - организаторы мероприятий. Библиотеки каждый год проводят десятки мероприятий , поэтому персонал библиотек должен рассчитать бюджет и план события, привлечь добровольцев или платных ведущих. Библиотекари планируют тему мероприятия, ,пишут сценарий, готовят угощение ... . Большинство деталей оформления, обычно, также сделано руками сотрудников библиотеки и т.д и т.п.Библиотекари исследователи. Библиотекари не только знают, как организовать и найти информацию. Мы знаем, как собирать и анализировать информацию. Мы видим закономерности и может извлечь из них информацию. Например, вы когда-нибудь приходили в библиотеку с просьбой рекомендовать почитать, что-нибудь такое же интеречное? Если это так, вас, вероятно, спросили о том, какой тип книг вам нравится, если у вас любимые авторы, что привлекло вас в книге (место события, символы, юмор ...) и т.д. Все это были те вопросы, которые помогли библиотекарю проанализировать ваши вкусы в книгах, для того, чтобы предоставить вам книгу автора, творчество которого вы полюбите.

Librarians embrace change. See http://entrelib.org/
From liasa
"The founding of the South African Library Association (SALA) as a national body was the first step on a journey towards the creation of a strong, viable entity to serve the li-brary and information services (LIS) profession. LIS practitioners have for more than 75 years been striving in a variety of arenas, both nationally and internationally, for recog-nition as the voice and advocate of LIS in South Africa.
The latest in this line of associations, the now ten-year-old democratic and fully rep-resentative Library and Information Association of South Africa (LIASA), came into ex-istence in 1997, three years after the first post-apartheid South African government took office under Nelson Mandela in 1994. In August 2007, ten years after the founding Con-stituent Conference and admission of LIASA to the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the World Library and Information Congress of IFLA, the WLIC, is being hosted for the first time in South Africa."

"On July 5, the Karlovy Vary Film Festival screened a fresh copy of the New Wave classic Ostře Sledované Vlaky (Closely Watched Trains, 1966). This is the latest Czech film to have undergone a major restoration. At the same time, the Czech National Film Archive is waiting to see if funding is made available for the restoration of a further ten films from its renowned collection. In this special programme, Dominik Jůn visits the archive to discuss issues related to restoration, digitisation - and the difference between the two."

I've been enjoying Jackie Dooly's recent series of posts looking at the skills and duties that are showing up in job postings for digital archivists. I'm excited to see archives listing these. Staffing up illustrates how the issues of electronic records have risen to a significant issue in the minds of the deciders.
Like many who share this particular job title, I have some complicated feelings about the idea of "The Digital Archivist." While my official job title is Digital Archivist, I've generally added a caveat. When I encounter someone else with that title, I often go on to explain that I'm more of a meta-digital archivist. That is, most of what I do is about policy, strategy, and standards; establishing and documenting practices, and collaborating to document and codify emerging practices. However, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that most of what I do is actually largely what digital archivist jobs should be doing.
I think the confusion about what a digital archivist should do is mostly summed up as follows;
Digital archivists should not the people who do the digital stuff. Everybody (including the digital archivists) need to pick up the skills necessary to work with digital records. Instead, digital archivists should be the people who are hired to lead the digital stuff.

"In my estimation, librarians are the perfect 'digital docents' for the 21st century's digital content. From what I've read, many in the field of library sciences have been fretting about where they fit into the digital shift, so the time is now to assert that librarians (as a profession) will be MORE in need by society in the future than ever before. There should be more jobs, not fewer, for library students. They are the professional and ethical curators of the digital world, essential to our cultural transition. And we couldn't be in better hands!" - See more at: http://digitalmediadiet.com/?p=3205#sthash.G195kvCG.hNauw3dC.dpuf

Vintage inspiration!
"USC Online has created an infographic called, "The Five Laws of Library Science," which explores five principles which can help guide the practices of librarians.
According to the graphic, almost 2.5 million public library books were circulated between more than 1.5 million people in 2011. The graphic also points out that there is more than 120,000 libraries in the U.S."
Via Miguel Mimoso Correia
Karen du Toit's insight:
Five important principles - good reminder!
1) You will have to deal with people.
2) You will develop relationships with people you have never met. Probably people long deceased.
3) You will likely end up with an abundance of self-taught, pseudo-IT knowledge.
4) Paper is heavy.
5) You will get dirty.
6) You will have to explain what you do over and over again.
7) Parents will expect you to do their kid's homework.
8) You will tease people about erasing them from the historical record when they piss you off.

During the past ten years, the Human Rights Working Group of the International Council on Archives (ICA) became increasingly aware of the complex problems facing archivists as they encounter human rights issues.
The draft "Basic Principles on the Role of Archivists in Support of Human Rights" is organized in two parts: a preamble and a set of principles, following the structure of the "Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers." The preamble provides the background for the principles, referring to United Nations documents, civil society statements, and archival precepts. The 23 principles are grouped in six sections. The first two sections cover the basic archival functions; the third covers the special situations of displaced archives and of archives that appear to document violations of human rights; the fourth through sixth sections are devoted to the roles and rights of archivists as professionals.
Comments on the draft should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com
Karen du Toit's insight:
Good to know and give some insights.
"Want to build your professional network and learn about librarianship around the world? Love the idea of professional travel but just don't have the budget?The International Librarians Network (ILN) is for you.
The ILN peer mentoring program is a facilitated program aimed at helping librarians develop international networks. We are pleased to announce the next round of this popular program will commence in September 2014."

I have some brand new RtiA9's that I have connected to an 20 year old Adcom gfa-555 amp. I swear i hear cracklingsounds much like a paper read makes out of one channel but only at certain high band frequencies. Usually I hear it at about the same frequency ranges as a snare drum stick circling on a High hat would sound. The sound is intermittent over the course of a track, but reproducible at the same point in a track when it shows up.
I have tried swapping speaker sides, and wires. I have cleaned out my amp. My amp cleaning actually made the low level static i used to hear when no music was playing go away. That was cool. I am replacing all my banana plugs. The wire is 20 year out fat monster cable. I suppose i could cut off the end of the wire and start with fresh when i replace the bananas. I know this is funny but when i turn my back to the speakers I don't seem to notice it at all which has me thinking it might be environment or a rattle in my head lol.
So what else can i do? Is this a symptom of a amp going? For all i know it could be something in the environment. I have moved lots of things around.

EUR-USD posted new trend lows of 1.3421, with eyes now on the November 20/21 bases of 1.3415 and 1.3400, respectively. Two-way interest was reported under 1.3440, with fresh shorts seen initiated following the soft Ifo data, countered by pre-weekend short covering. The euro's bounce from the bottom was of the dead-cat variety however, as EUR-USD managed just a 1.3433 high into the close. We suspect the 1.3400 mark will be in the crosshairs ... Read More ►

North American Edition2014-07-25 11:34 UTC
EUR-USD came under some pressure into the end of the week, after the softer than expected German Ifo reading, which showed geo-political tensions weighing on business confidence. Expectations for an improvement in U.S. durable goods orders this morning has added some pressure a well. The euro touched 1.3442 lows, after again running into resistance at 1.3475. Elsewhere, USD-JPY upside momentum continued following N.Y. gains on Thursday, taking that ... Read More ►

The dollar perked up some in quiet N.Y. trade, though as is becoming commonplace in the FX market, ranges were narrow. EUR-USD tested London's trend low of 1.3455, though failed to make further downside progress. Sellers in place from 1.3475 capped the euro off. USD-JPY moved modestly higher on better risk levels, though was contained by a 101.37 to 101.53 trading band. USD-CAD held support into 1.0710, and moved over 1.0740 on an ex-auto Canadian retail ...

Asian Edition2014-07-25 18:07 UTC
The dollar rallied modestly, but broadly in N.Y. on Friday, as weak German Ifo data combined with EU threats of further Russian sanctions, and apparent Russian movement of materiel into Ukraine, to push EUR-USD to new trend lows. The euro's decline set the market up for further dollar buying, which resulted in USD-JPY rallying to nearly three-week highs just under 101.95, and cable moving back toward 1.6770. USD-CAD popped to one-week highs over 1.0820, ... Read More ►

I've lived in the Carencro/Lafayette area all my life. From the food, to the people, to the area sports teams, no matter where I visit, this area is my home and I love it. As a news reporter at Newstalk 96.5 FM KPEL , I really enjoy being able to keep our listeners informed on the news of the day, whether it's local, state or national. I'm also the current (and interim) co-host of "Your Afternoon Drive Home" from 5-6 pm Monday – Fridays. In addition to this, I do website work and behind the scenes stuff that keeps the station running. The most fun thing I get to do at KPEL, though, is being able to do color commentate the Courtesy Automotive Game of the Week. As I said, I love sports, so getting to cover our local sports teams is a real treat for me.

Some comments they gave from TSN
"Marina (Zoueva, their coach) is going to be all over me now with a stopwatch," said Moir -- they also use video to monitor lift length.
"(Ice dancing) is a bit fussy. And to be honest we were kind of excited because that was an awesome skate for us. There was no doubt in our minds. That's exactly what we want to do. Now the (violations) don't take away from it but it would be nice to have a big number to go home and work off of."
They also received a surprisingly low score on one of their spins.
"To lose the points -- it is disheartening but it's easy too at the same time. At least we have them in black and white, on paper. I always find it a lot more difficult to go home and try and fix the program component scores (the artistic impression scores under the old judging system) where you have no idea where the judges' brains are at."

At A Glance: Reminiscent of the wing chairs of a bygone era, the Stressless Wing Chair takes all the positive stylistic cues of its predecessor - and leaves the uncomfortable seating position behind. No, this Wing chair is a highly sophisticated comfort machine. Not simply a cushioned seat, the Wing Chair is engineered to provide you with the most comfort possible in whatever position you choose to sit.
The Wing Chair is also available in a larger size: the Eagle Chair.
What's To Like:The recline function (the Glide System) reacts to shifts in your body weight. This means you never have to hold tension in your body, like you would in many other recliners. Your head, neck, and shoulders are supported well by the Stressless Wing Chair's headrest. The headrest moves with the chair to keep your head supported in a reading position with your neck muscles relaxed. As an alternative, you can drop the headrest if you'd like to lie almost fully flat. The Plus system within the chair controls lumbar region support, so that whenever you need it, the chair moves to support your lower back. And all that's not even getting into the way the chair looks! It's refined-looking, like it belongs in the home of someone who appreciates the finer things - like you do.
What's Not to Like: We're not going to be able to knock this recliner's comfort. It's simply comfortable. So it's all a matter of taste at this point. If you don't like its look, then that's what's not to like. We don't think that the price tag is an issue here because of the incredible value a Stressless recliner is in terms of comfort and durability.
The Bottom Line: With a striking combination of comfort, function, and balanced good looks, the Stressless Wing Chair is the direct result of more than 35 years of refining what Ekornes has preached all along. Slightly contemporary in its overall design, the wood frame and plush upholstery are reminders of the Stressless Wing Chair's luxurious quality.
Ekornes introduced the Stressless chair in 1971, meticulously developing and designing the chair to provide your body with the ultimate in comfort and support while sitting upright or reclined. This revolutionary design has made Stressless the ultimate recliner for the past 35 years.
Designed with convenience and comfort in mind, the Swing Table is roomy enough for a number of items you'd normally keep on your end table, such as drinks, books, or remote controls. There's no better way to keep these items within arm's reach while staying relaxed.
The Swing Table is also a great way to save space, as it can eliminate the need for an end table next to your recliner.
Available in 7 wood finishes, the Swing Table is compatible with most Stressless recliners.
To get a closer look at the upholstery options for the Stressless Wing Chair, visit our Ekornes Stressless Materials Library.
Batick Leather:A corrected aniline-dyed, pigmented and grain-embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. The protective layer of lacquer allows spills to be easily removed. Easy to clean and attractively priced, Batick is a popular choice for those who want a more resilient leather.
Paloma Leather:An aniline-dyed upholstery leather with a combination of dyes and pigments in the finish. Paloma has a natural grain pattern with visible natural marks. The light finishing treatment improves the physical properties and provides a more uniform color. Paloma has been developed to produce a very soft, rich and friendly feel. The preferred choice of those who want a soft, authentic look in leather that breathes well.
Royalin Leather:The heaviest and most exclusive Ekornes leather type. Royalin is an aniline-dyed, upholstery leather with a natural pebbled grain with visible natural marks. A very light surface treatment has been added for protection. A natural leather that breathes well, it has a soft feel and a rich, warm glow.
