Many of you already have Netflix, various web apps, VUDU, the PlayStation Network, and much more. Could you possibly crowbar another streaming service into that mix? That's what Microsoft is hoping.
However, this isn't going to be Web TV, part 2. It shouldn't even be Google TV. According to a Reuters report, the company has been talking with TV networks, with plans to create its own subscription-type service that would run on the Xbox 360. The goal is to come up with something that could compete with Netflix, Apple, and Google.
At this point, the details are a bit fuzzy. One scenario could have the Xbox replace your current cable or satellite box. Another option would add interactive functions into your regular TV viewing. Another would be an a la carte option, where viewers could watch specific programming from pay services, such as HBO and Showtime, without the need for a subscription to those channels.
Of course, all of those options could change at any point. If the Xbox is to become the next media hub, it could be another year before any official announcements are made.
Meanwhile, both Netflix and Hulu have recently launched streaming-only services, which bring limited movies and TV shows directly to subscribers. Those plans are each priced at $7.99 per month.
This announcement does make for some very interesting possibilities. Would you get rid of your cable or satellite for this type of service? Would you rather pay for individual channels versus a package? Do you think someone will jump into the fray before Microsoft makes an official Xbox announcement?

9am on day three at the Topshop NEWGEN space: it's the Peter Pilotto show. The dynamic print duo set the bar higher and higher every season, top buyers and editors eagerly await for the show to start all cladded in their homage to the duo.
Where would we be without Topshop's amazing hospitality on Bedford Square - hungry and tired! We drank fresh lemonade, berry crushes and strong coffees and ate miniature pastries, they really do think of everything.
Here are our highlights:
1. Colour combinations started off in black and white, then progressed into brighter and more vibrant print varieties and clashes than you can possibly imagine. It was a total print fest but could we imagine anything different.
2. The prints as always took centre stage, the development came in the silhouette. New shapes and structures have been created; ruffles, thigh slits, peplum waists and bell detailing dominated.
3. Although a lot of the pieces looked like they were dresses they were indeed separates. From a commercial perspective, perhaps it is easier to sell these printed extravaganzas as two pieces, easier to mix and match in your wardrobe..? Love the waffle knits and crochet skirts.
4. The intricate detailing employed doesn't come across as well in the pictures, but believe us: the 3d embroidery taken from Indian beadwork, the use of corseting and crinolines as underpinnings and the layer upon layers of tiered ruffles looked more couture than ready to wear!
5. And the shoes… Oh my! Nicholas Kirkwood did a sterling job in mirroring the psychedelic prints of the collection onto the lace up sporty sandals.
Ta-da moment: The explosion of prints and colours were mimicked on the runway, a real wake up call which brightened up our morning.
Item we'll be saving for: Trumpet figure hugging skirts that flare out giving providing the Jlo bottom we have always wanted!
New detail: Necklines were experimental, the cut-outs and criss-cross's = more gym time asap!

November 27, 2014
The executive committee of the Virginia High School League has approved the new six-classification group structure for high schools in the state.
The new six-class system, which takes effect starting with the 2013-14 school year, will replace the VHSL's current three-group format. The new format includes Albemarle and Orange County both moving to the Jefferson District, thanks to realignment based on geography rather than enrollment.
Teams from different classes will compete in the same district, a change from the current VHSL format. Albemarle and Orange will join the six current Jefferson District teams -- Charlottesville, Fluvanna County, Louisa County, Monticello, Powhatan, and Western Albemarle.
Albemarle and Orange are the only two Jefferson District teams classified as Class 5A teams. Four others -- Charlottesville, Fluvanna County, Louisa County, and Powhatan -- will compete as Class 4A teams. Monticello and Western Albemarle will be Class 3A schools.
The new VHSL alignment also includes William Monroe (Class 3A) and Madison County (Class 2A) remaining in the Bull Run District; Buckingham County and Goochland both staying in the James River District as Class 2A schools; and Nelson County remaining in the Dogwood District as a Class 2A school.
Playoff brackets for each sport will be based on a school's class, with performance in district games no longer being a factor. Conference and sectional tournaments (against teams from the same class) will replace the state's current district and regional tournament model.

To be involved with or have any part of niggified activities.
To be publicly wiggin or actin a playa hense involving oneself in niggerdom.
av Ryan Dalee 3. mars 2008
The nigger nirvana that every blacky hopes to experience upon death following a life of niggering, pimping, and shine. Niggerdom is filled with disease-free white women, watermelons, and cars that a nigger could never acquire legally.
"Only once I have stolen ferarris, raped the purest white women, and pimped out every ho in this city, can I hope to experience true niggerdom."
"Niggerdom awaits the real street nigger with the S on his chest"
"Niggerdom awaits the real street nigger with the S on his chest"
av Rossy Da Bossy 14. juni 2008
nigg·er·dom - noun - 1) the condition, niggerness, or state of being of a nigger 2) extreme niggerness; niggerossity
He has dedicated his life to the seeking of niggerdom, niggleation and to the understanding of the great nigger in the sky.
av bigbobmegadeth 31. mai 2008
Of or pretaining to a nigger, or a nigger's thoughts.
adj. That is a niggerdom philosophy.
av youresoblackjohn 22. november 2006
Niggerdom- "To be in any way, shape, or form" be like a black man. As seen in Clayton Bigsby by Dave Chapel
"Sir! I am in no way, shape, or form involved in any niggerdom!"

Birding Areas
Around Kigali
|Masaka, a birding area near Kigali
The Nyarutarama Lake, or "Lover's Lake" bordering the Kigali Golf Course, is surrounded by a track which offers excellent nature walks and bird watch ing opportunities. The Nyabarongo Wetlands al so offer walking paths and good bird watching. This protected area covers 142.62km2 with two lakes- Lake Mirayi in the south and Lake Rumira in the north. The wetlands are fed by the Nyabarongo River, a tributary of the Nile, which empties into the Akagera River which, in turn, flows into Lake Victoria.
Volcanoes National Park
To the north lies the Volcanoes National Park, which protects the Rwandan portion of the Virunga Mountains, a Transforntier Conservation Area that includes protected areas in Uganda and the DRC. Forming a complex of mostly dormant volcanoes, it includes Rwanda's highest point, Mount Karisimbi (4 507m), and the two active ones, Mount Nyiragongo and Mount Nyamuragira. While more famous for its mountain gorillas and other primates, Volcanoes boasts almost 165 bird species, 17 Endemic to the Area.
Nyungwe National park
The Nyungwe National Park, a tropical mountain rainforest and one of Rwanda main protected areas, and lies on the south -western slopes of the highland region that forms the great divide between the Congo and Nile drainage systems. The park protects one of the region 's largest and oldest remaining patches of montane rainforest and is home to 310 species of bird s.
The fo rests Rwanda are increasingly being sought out for the incredible birding opportunities, particularly the numerous Albertine Rift endemics; 27 to be found in Nyungwe, the highest concentration found in any single park in Africa. Amongst them are the; Regal Sunbird, Cinnyris regius, Red -Collared Babbler, Kupeomis rufocinctus, Rwenzori Turaco, Gallirex johnstoni, Handsome Spurfowl, Pternistis nobi/is, Rwenzori Batis, Batis diops, Grauer's Swamp-Warbler, Bradypterus graueri, Blueheaded Sunbird, Cyanomitra oritis, possibly the rarest of all endemic birds would be the Albertine Owlet, Glaucidium albertinium, known from only five records in the area.
Akagera National Park
The Akagera National Park in the northeast still covers a sizeable chunk of savannah. A mix of rolling grassland interspersed with broad-leafed and acacia woodland, these lower-lying lands are dissected by the Akagera River. The sought after species here would be; Red -faced Barbet, Lybius rubrifacies, Sousa's Shrike, Lanius souzae, and White-Collared Oliveback, Nesocharis ansorgei, amongst others. The park has a mosaic of wetlands and lakes, along the cou rse of the Akagera River and the eastern boundary.
Wetlands and Marshes
Rwanda's wetlands and marshes, covering just over 10% of the country, include Rugezi, the fourth of the main protected areas, as well as two other locations, Akanyaru Wetlands and Nyabarongo Wetlands, that have been declared Important Birding Areas (IBA's) by Birdlife International. If there's still time on the schedule, the keenest of birders can still head to a number of forest reserves scattered around the country.

Your location: Home > National Reports > National Communications (Non-Annex I)
All Parties must report on the steps they are taking or envisage undertaking to implement the
Convention (Articles 4.1 and 12). In accordance with the principle of "common but
differentiated responsibilities" enshrined in the Convention, the required contents of these
national communications and the timetable for their submission are different for Annex I and
non-Annex I Parties. Each non-Annex I Party shall submit its initial communication within three
years of the entry into force of the Convention for that Party, or of the availability of financial
resources (except for the least developed countries, who may do so at their discretion).
Further, the Conference of the Parties (COP), at its seventeenth session, decided that
non-Annex I Parties, consistent with their capabilities and the level of support provided for
reporting, should submit their first biennial update report by December 2014; the least developed
country (LDCs) Parties and small island developing States (SIDS) may submit biennial update reports
at their discretion.
COP 19, by decision 20/CP.19, adopted the composition, modalities and procedures of the team of
technical experts (TTE) under the ICA.
Guidelines for the preparation of initial national communications from non-Annex I Parties were
adopted at COP 2 in Geneva in 1996. At COP 8 (New Delhi, 2002) Parties adopted new guidelines
for the preparation of national communications from non-Annex I Parties. The preparation of
second and, where appropriate third and initial national communications are based on these new
The COP, at its seventeenth session, adopted UNFCCC biennial update reporting guidelines for Parties
not included in Annex I to the Convention ( decision 2/CP.17,
paragraphs 39-42 and annex III of
decision 2/CP.17).
It also adopted modalities and guidelines for international consultation and analysis (decision
2/CP.17, paragraphs 56-62 and annex IV of decision 2/CP.17).
COP 5 (Bonn, 1999) established the Consultative Group of Experts on National Communications from
Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention (CGE) in order to improve the process of
preparation of national communications by non-Annex I Parties.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF), as an operating entity of the financial mechanism of the
Convention, provides financial support for the preparation of national communications and biennial
update reports in accordance with guidance from the Conference of the Parties (COP) to non-Annex I
Parties either through its agencies (UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank) or directly (since 2011).
Some bilateral and multilateral organizations/agencies/programmes also provide financial and
technical support to many non-Annex I Parties.
One of the functions of the secretariat is to facilitate assistance to non-Annex I Parties in
preparing their national communications. This includes facilitating the work of the CGE, the
organization of workshops, collaboration with bilateral and multilateral support programmes, the
dissemination of information through participation in regional workshops and expert group meetings,
promoting information exchange, and capacity-building. The secretariat provides regular reports
to the SBI on these activities.
For submission of national communications from
non-Annex I Parties, please contact the secretariat at this email : email@example.com. The details on the submission process will be
communicated through this email.

- The unique multi-angled floor nozzle offers a wide array of cleaning positions, so you can get the same deep clean in tight spaces and corners that you do in wide open areas.
- The 360-degree swivel hose eliminates twisting and tangling, so you have the flexibility you need for a deep clean in any direction.
- The Reach-Out telescoping wand helps you get to places you normally couldn't reach, cleaning window treatments, ceiling fans and other above-floor surfaces without a step ladder.
- Ideal for allergy sufferers, the HEPA certified filter captures maximum debris, trapping dust, dander, pollen and other allergens so exhaust air is clean and you can breathe easy.
- The built-in Bagless Canister gathers dirt in an easy-to-empty chamber that saves you the cost of replacement bags.
- Built to eliminate the trouble and tangle of rolling up the cord by hand, the retractable cord mechanism engages with the push of a button, wrapping up the job in seconds.

I love this little vacuum cleaner. Its small and easy to use and store in my 1 bedroom apartment. It also works well on hardwood floors and swivels around furniture. I'm really pleased with the way it cleans up dust and dog hair, and I love emptying the canister, no more vacumm cleaner bags!

So glad to have a canister vac cleaner that does not need bags. Often trying to find bags for a sweeper a year or 2 after purchase is impossible. Now I don't have to worry about it. Love the telescoping wand and the sweeper head is amazing at cleaning up everything. It does a great job on pet hair and everyday dirt and dust. So very glad to have this Kenmore in our home
Sunland, CA
i purchased this vacuum from **** ,its new, but the problem is the way its made ,all the dust goes directly on to the inside filter and it clogs with in 3 minutes,i guess that you cant pick up dusting powder with this model , that is what clogged the filter ,3 teaspoons of dusting powder , there was nothing else on the floor . i had to stop the vacuum ,take it apart and ,clear the inside filter, if it cant pick up 3 teaspoons of dust ,what good is that ?, the problem is that the vacuum is made so the dust goes directly to the filter and sticks to it , maybe you can pick up small pebbles or something that does not stick to the accordian filter inside ,but good luck, i just wasted money, dont buy this vacuum , look for one that is made differently,this one SUCKS, not in a good way

I tried it out this morning and it picked up all the dirt and little rocks without effort. This is what I was looking for in a vacuum. I have ceramic tile floors.

I can do all my hard to get places and do my blinds along with my ceiling fans. I am a shut in due to serious lung disease caused by pesticide poisoning. I am allergic to dust/mites & animal dander, which affects my lungs & it's not good for my health issues for I need a dust free home. This cute & easy care vacuum gets all the dust/cat hair & even drapes. I vacuum my bed as well. I am so happy with it I feel like yelling it from the roof top. It is handsome & moves around my little house with such ease. Maintenance to empty the canister is a breeze. I just wanted to thank Sears for the great deal I got on it with ************* & my rewards points The Price is right for sure thanks so much sincerely your customer

This vacuum does have great suction, maneuvers good, but has 2 serious flaws. I, the handle WILL NOT stay on, I don't care how hard you shove it in, it will not stay. Today it flew apart and the metal part cut a gash in my shin. The other thing is the design of the canister. It it very hard to get the dirt out, you actually have to have a whisk broom to get it out. The plastic part around the filter flops in your way, making it even harder to empty.

This vacuum does a great job of cleaning bare floors. I use it often on my laminate floors and it works perfect for this type of floor. Reviewers who are using it on carpeting and don't like it have simply bought the wrong type of vacuum. This vacuum does have four flaws that keep it from being a 5-star vacuum, they are: 1) the wand needs to be about six inches longer - I'm not that tall and the wand feels too short, 2) the electric cord is about five feet too short and it won't reach across my 16' living room, 3) the hose handle needs a clip to secure the metal wand because it has fallen out and landed on my toe, and 4) the big grey buttons for the cord and the power switch should be different colors because I'm always pushing the wrong one!

Yes, it does have great suction, however, it has 2 major flaws. One flaw is in the design of the dirt container. It is super hard to empty, filter gets in the way, and if you don't have a whisk broom, you'll never get the dirt out. The second is the handle, it WILL NOT stay together, , I don't care how hard you shove it together, it won't stay. Very annoying.

Vanessa Harriss goes on her own spiritual journey climbing Croagh Patrick in the west of Ireland
What is it with pilgrimages? Martin Sheen's starring role in The Way tells the story of a man who feels compelled to walk one of the great routes in Europe, the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, after the death of his son. In This Must Be The Place, Sean Penn is drawn from exile in Dublin to cross America and "understand" his family.
A few years ago, Bill Bryson took on the Appalachian Trail with a vague idea that it would test him and help him "understand" his country. It seems that while the idea of a religious pilgrimage is old-fashioned, the idea of a journey that brings insight runs deep.
I certainly took on Croagh Patrick, in County Mayo, out of curiosity rather than conviction. Having lived in not-particularly-religious Dublin, I wanted to see how Catholicism held such powerful sway. The physical challenge also drew me in. Pilgrimage is supposed to be arduous. The tougher the trip, goes the thinking, the greater the spiritual affirmation.
That's all very well, but few people are up to the effort, or believe their soul is sufficiently imperilled to justify a month (or even two) off work. Even Bryson's attempt on the Appalachian Trail took him weeks and he only covered a third of it.
But the Tochár Phadraig Pilgrim Walk is a mere 35km, from Ballintubber Abbey to the foot of Croagh Patrick. And if even that seems like too much, you can climb Croagh Patrick in a few hours.
The religious element of Croagh Patrick is strong – I felt like a godless fish out of water at first. A pilgrimage might start out personal, but it ends up communal. The experience is made by the people you encounter on the way. When I set off, I thought only of the effort ahead.
But slowly you climb, you chat, you stumble. Hands steady you, people nod and offer a kind word as you pass. Then – blessings from above – the sun comes out and someone turns, gasps and suddenly, in silent wonder, you're sharing with strangers the heart-stopping view over Clew Bay.
By the time you reach the top you feel connected not just to the people around you, but to all the others back across the centuries who have stood where you stand. It's a dizzying feeling and it changes you.
How did Croagh Patrick change me? I confess I felt more open-hearted, fulfilled and, yes, strangely, at peace.

Volunteers: Finding Them & Keeping Them
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
Latest revision as of 07:44, 30 August 2013
[edit] INTRODUCTION
Genealogy societies, ethnic organizations, and family or single-name associations exist to meet the unique needs of their members. The services they provide, although similar in nature, are often customized to these needs. But one thing these groups share is that, as nonprofit societies, they require volunteers to accomplish their many goals.
Consider your own organization. Do you fall within any of these situations?
- There is much genealogical interest but you have little room and equipment or facilities to work with, and never enough volunteers to get the work done.
- There is great expertise in genealogy in your group, much interest, but little or no organization.
- There is great interest, little expertise, but good organization.
- There is much interest, several volunteers with little experience, room and facilities are available, and organization is complete.
Each of these situations could use some help but all of them need volunteers in one area or another. In one case volunteers may be needed to direct what few resources are available. I like to think of them as "facility cops." If you only have one computer and everyone wants to use it, you need a strong volunteer to police the activities and keep the masses under control. If some members have great expertise in genealogy, they could quickly burn out if they must do everything a society requires. If you need volunteers with greater genealogy expertise, a training program may be the solution. Let's look at each of these options and see what other societies have done.
[edit] DETERMINE A SPECIFIC GOAL
First of all, specifically determine the projects or leadership positions you are interested in or for which you need volunteers. Focus on one project or position at a time. Enlist the help of others as indicated below.
[edit] DETERMINE LEVEL OF INTEREST
The level of interest toward starting a particular project, expanding a genealogy society, moving to a new locality, setting up a training program, finding a new leader, or whatever your society goal might be, could be determined by doing the following:
Discuss your ideas in a small informal meeting between like-minded individuals.
- While holding a regularly scheduled meeting at another event, take an oral survey.
- Personally contact other interested individuals.
- Conduct a written survey of associated organizations.
- Hold a question and answer session at another event.
Once you have identified the level of interest, identify specific potential contributors.
[edit] IDENTIFY THE CONTRIBUTORS
- Board members, leaders, committee heads. Members of your board, past or present leaders, and committee heads can often provide the names of other potential volunteers or those who could train or mentor them. Past volunteers are an excellent reserve pool. They may be waiting to be asked to serve again.
- Writers, promoters, editors. Those who have a talent for promoting your ideas to potential volunteers are the writers, promoters, and editors in your society. Try to identify those individuals who could market the needs of your society well. They must fully understand your goals and objectives because they will present your case to the general public in an attempt to attract new volunteers from the community at large.
- Educators, teachers, mentors, trainers. Those who naturally make good trainers and mentors for new volunteers are those who have had some teaching experience. Nearly every genealogist has an area of interest and some knowledge a beginner would not have. The idea is to help potential trainers discover their own strengths and the skills to teach others what they know. Many of these people will not be needed to teach genealogy, but they may be needed to teach a genealogy computer program, how to use a computer in general, how to use the Internet, how to run a cash register if your society has one, how to access library materials, etc. These positive, supportive, people-loving individuals are perfect to train your volunteers.
[edit] ANALYZE YOUR RESOURCES
Once you have a list of people to consider, look at their individual needs. Professional people volunteer because they enjoy the association with like-minded individuals, and they will learn something they want to know while they share their knowledge with others.
Artistic volunteers like to share their artistic talents. Use them in your publicity functions, to help with flyers, and to organize your materials in attractive ways.
Use your honest, trustworthy volunteers to handle the financial responsibilities of your organization.
Many individuals who are in constant leadership positions may enjoy an opportunity to work solely on a project at their own pace IF they know what is expected of them and when.
[edit] GETTING STARTED
The most important aspect is enthusiasm. It is like jam. It gets all over everyone. Next is solid, dependable leadership to develop a common philosophy. If your goals are defined with clearly written job descriptions for the volunteers, people will be more likely to volunteer. Why? Because they will know the extent of their volunteer service.
Teach the correct principle of delegation. Delegation is not passing the buck. Delegation is giving someone the opportunity to learn something new, to become involved in something worthwhile, to meet new friends along the way, to experience a sense of accomplishment, and to work side-by-side with you in an interesting project.
Finally, and most important, express appreciation over and over again. Volunteers receive no financial incentive to keep going. What they do receive is recognition from their peers, support in a common vocation, mostly enjoyable associations, and appreciation for their service. The more that sincere appreciation is extended to volunteers, the more they will want to continue their service.
Now let's consider some specifics such as recruitment, advanced training for the "long haul," and other rewards along the way.
[edit] RECRUITMENT OF VOLUNTEERS
Advertising Your society newsletter is a wonderful place to advertise a need for volunteers to work on a specific project. The more specific the need, the more specific the newsletter ad should be.
Also, focus on the benefits. Why would someone want to be involved in extracting all the names out of this collection, for example? Will they learn a new computer program? Is there a potluck dinner planned for the end of the project? Does everyone who contributes get a copy of the product free or at a greatly reduced price? Or will the focus be on the enjoyment of working on a significant project?
One-on-one commitments We all know individuals to whom you cannot say no. They have an ability to get us involved in everything. Use individuals like that to enlist volunteer helpers. Have the person contact a certain number of people on a one-on-one basis.
[edit] THE LONG HAUL
More enthusiasm Projects or commitments requiring several years are considered "long haul." Leadership must constantly be providing continued enthusiasm and support to its volunteers. That support can be in the way of recognition, better facilities, easier or faster processes, and many other things. Mostly it involves appreciation.
Avoid burn out Rather than overwork the volunteers you already have, ask them to find others to share the responsibilities. This will require constant recruiting and constant training. Knowing this in advance means that lessons prepared for training should be saved to use again at a future date. It might also suggest that some lessons could be improved, shortened, lengthened, etc. Ask current volunteers for their input. Did they feel they received sufficient training? Could any of them mentor another? Have you found another potential teacher in the group?
[edit] REWARDING VOLUNTEERS
Seminars If your society is already putting on a genealogy seminar, let your volunteers attend at a greatly reduced price. They feel special this way and the increased training in the seminar might encourage them to become a leader in the future.
Training Advanced training and opportunities for the diligent volunteer are a form of reward. It says, "we trust what you are doing and we think you are capable of doing more." Either provide them with more training or ask them to help train others.
Awards Awards can be provided along the way for diligent volunteers. They might be presented at local monthly meetings with extra attention given at local seminar luncheons. Don't forget that the Federation of Genealogical Societies has some very special awards for those who have contributed in a significant way to the promotion of genealogical activities in your society. This is a way to recognize a volunteer nationally for work they have done locally.
One local society put up a spotlight of the month on a bulletin board in their society. Users of the facility could nominate anyone to be recognized for their volunteer service. A box was placed in the society research area to collect nominations. Volunteers tended to go the extra mile hoping to receive recognition for their special efforts. Leaders also watched for noteworthy contributions made by volunteers so they could nominate someone.
Another society puts on a potluck luncheon for their volunteers and presents a lovely program on behalf of these special people.
Another society, which was conducting a long term military indexing project, gave everyone on their volunteer team a military rank which historically existed at the time of the military records they were indexing. Military units were also set up to match the project. Individuals and units competed with each other to receive higher ranks and promotions by accomplishing greater and greater goals in their assigned projects. People were promoted from corporals to generals in the several years they worked on the projects. So many people volunteered for the project that entire "armies" were organized. In order to keep communication going between the various units, a newsletter was instituted where everyone could see the promotions of other volunteers. This encouraged greater competition and more work being done in a faster manner.
When this society's leader came to report at the board meeting about his volunteers, he practically burst his buttons expressing his pride for his "troops." He understood the value of training, communication, and appreciation. He had set specific goals and clearly defined job descriptions. He knew that the project he was undertaking was for the "long haul," and he planned accordingly.
[edit] CONCLUSION
Nonprofit organizations need volunteers to complete projects and provide member services. Attracting and keeping these important contributors is possible when a society identifies, recruits, trains, motivates, and rewards them. Generate enthusiasm to avoid the burnout caused by "long haul" projects, and these volunteers will help your society prosper.

The US presidential race is entering the home stretch to November 6th, with back-to-back party conventions over the next two weeks. Recent history shows that the candidate with an edge going into the conventions tends to win the election. But what happens when the race is this tight, with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney neck-and-neck in the polls? Douglas Herbert asks Frank M. Newport, Editor-in-Chief of polling firm Gallup.

There are many ways to tackle viewing content in its correct aspect ratio for your home theater. Of course, if your budget allows, it's nice to have a projector, screen and screen masking all working in tandem so you can view high-def TV in 16:9 and easily switch to 2.35:1 movie content (sans black bars, of course) without having to manually zoom and focus all the time.
Some theater setups will program in aspect ratio adjustment and the requisite masking, whether it's for the sides or top and bottom, so you're set at the touch of a button. Plus software from systems such as Kaleidescape contain aspect ratio memories, and when combined with automation (like Crestron) can automatically trigger such masking to move into place.
In this sweet home theater—please forgive the stretched out image of Madagascar that covers the full 2.35:1 screen despite its being a 1.85:1 release—the homeowners had wanted a new theater and it became a focus of a 2,000-square-foot addition.
The owners previously had a theater room that included a Runco projector and 92-inch diagonal screen. This new media escape was tasked to custom electronics pro Convergence Technologies of Mebane, N.C., which designed the layout and spec'd in a 12-foot Stewart Filmscreen CineCurve screen and DPI Titan 1080p-250 projector to provide the high-def fireworks.
"A Digital Projection Titan 1080p-250 projector was chosen for its Intelligent Lens Memory technology and its ability to produce crisp images and deep blacks. With ILM technology the projector memorizes certain lens positions that can be recalled depending upon the aspect ratio of the video signal," says Convergence's Josh Huffman. "ILM eliminates the need to have the traditional sled and external lens to correct the aspect ratio of 2.35:1 films. For the screen a Stewart CineCurve Screen with masking was chosen to allow HDTV in its native ratio (16:9) and movies in their native ratio (2.35:1). The curved screen also ensures that a uniform light level is maintained across the screen. Imagine what happens when you shine a flashlight on the wall, the light is brighter in the middle and dimmer on the sides because the light in the middle has less distance to travel. CineCurve screens correct this problem by allowing the light to be equally bright at all distances from the source."
Content is feed from a combination of Kaleidescape movie server and players, and Crestron ADMS system that includes a 200-disc Blu-ray changer.
Of course, sound is equally important in delivering the total home theater experience, and Convergence took care of ensuring an audio wallop now and even bigger bang to come. The installers used a JBL Synthesis system featuring full 7.1 channels (using two subwoofers, actually), and wired the room so more speakers and subwoofers could go on the side and rear walls in the future.
Green glue between layers of Sheetrock help keep sound from leaking in and out of the theater, and rich cherry woods and custom panels round out the owners' request for an art deco aesthetic, and theater goers can park themselves in comfortable seats from Salamander Designs.

The Loyalist Collection
It is estimated that approximately five thousand refugees choosing to remain loyal to the British Crown settled in Niagara at the conclusion of the American Revolution in 1783. This collection provides an insight into their history as they developed this region, province and country.
These materials are actively being gathered by the Friends of the Loyalist Collection at Brock University. For more information about the Friends, visit their website - www.brockloyalisthistorycollection.ca/.

The Masonic Collection
The Masonic Collection began when the late Charles Sankey, a former Chancellor at Brock University and a Mason, donated his extensive personal collection of Masonic literature to the James A. Gibson Library. Subsequently, a number of other Freemasons added more titles to the collection creating what is today one of the largest archives of Masonic material at a Canadian university.
