I used Videostudio and Vegas in combination as alluded in the comment below, but Videostudio Pro X9 has improved so much that I rarely use Vegas anymore. The improvement in chroma key and motion have been very good reducing the need for Vegas and its complexities.
Those who proport the lack of intuitivness in Videostudio just miss the boat. It has a unique manner of handling input data, unlike other comparable software but, once noted, it is very easy to use-no comparison with difficult-powerful Vegas, which in most cases is overkill. Once you understand the overlay process, it is a piece of cake. However, there are those who are used to multiple tracks and must put items above the principal track instead below (overlay tracks) as in Videostudio. So much for such intransigence!
I use Corel Videostudio PRO X5 for my video editing. Then, one day I downloaded Vegas Movie Studio 11 Platinum and tried it out. The level of complexity between the two is enormous. Things that are easily done in Corel are more envolved in Vegas. Moving around with a storyboard editor, in Corel, is a simple matter. When you only have a timeline (Vegas,) it's a bitch to locate and move around efficiently with 50 to 60 clips or more. You must edit in small packets.
Also, in rendering, I was in for a big surprise-few talk about this. The author of "101 Tips, Tricks and Techniques," Bill Myers substantiated what I found out through experience. A one hour video, with many effects, can take over five hours to render in Vegas. I hate to think how long my European Trip Video, of over two hours, would have taken-over night to be sure. Apparently, Vegas lovers are not bothered by this fact. So, rendering and fexibility of movement are Vegas shortfalls to me.
Now that I mentioned the bad, here is the good. Vegas is extremely powerful in motion video, color correction, chroma key, and Pan/Zoom. It blows Corel away, to mention only these few things of which there are more. It takes a steep learning curve but, it is well worth the effort. "Nothing good of consequence is ever accomplished without exertion." So, I use Vegas for clip editing and effects and then put clips into Corel for quick rendering and flexibility. I take the best from both and with excellent result My videos produced by Corel are vivid, rich in color and clarity that I don't think waiting an extra four hours, or more, can noticeably improve upon.
Get Vegas for ZOOM!
VS Pro X5 Edits 50P/60P video. One thing is that you still can't set Project Properties for high definition formats. That is of no consequence to me as I do not use it. It is, and will continue to be, a significant problem for newer users who think it has a greater significance than it actually does or who actually try to use Share > Create Video File > Same As Project
The big negative mark against it is that if you want to make a template for it using the normal template making method of entering the properties manually, you are still limited to a max bitrate for AVCHD video of 18 Mbps when the new international standard is 27 Mbps for 50/60p (and 3D).
That aside, it works well and I have it. TitlerEX plugin (extra download) is good for making fancy title pages. I do not have the Ultimate version as I have Mercall 2.1 and other software to make up for their additions.
VS Pro SP1 has been out for well over a month. This is nothing new but, VideoStudio Pro X4 Ultimate has just recently been released. It incorporates the Prodad, Mercalli 2 video stabilizer along with Boris Graffiti software. The video stabilizer actually works and gives tripod performance in many circumstances. For that alone it's worth the upgrade.
Very easy to use and works great with HD files.
VideoStudio try buy software is Great, seriously it is brilliant! But a word of warning! The full versions wont import all video and audio formats as well as the trial version does, so if you don't mind spending hours converting or rendering your files to a substandard format that does import into Video-Studio and mind you with massive loss to your videos crisp definition then this crappy video suite is for you!
Also beware that every HD capable versions of Video-Studio all have major issues with AVCHD video clips, just do a google on just how massive this problem is by VideoStudio Users, so all in all - if you need to work with AVCHD or for that matter any HD video format withg out worrying if your quad or 6 core is going to crash or freeze which by the way does occurr quite often!
Then you are far better off to use any freeware Editor out there as they will do a much better job..
Good easy to use software that has a continual improvement record.
Works great, easy to use.
Using the Pro 11 trial version on an Intel Core2Duo w/2GB RAM, I couldn't get the darn thing to render a file without crashing.
The search for a feature rich, powerful yet easy to understand, affordable and STABLE editor continues.
I just upgraded to V10+ from V8. Actually I bought the full version since I found the hard way that Ulead upgrades don't work very well. I have a couple of comments. I mix still shots with video much of the time. First, the still pics I inserted were crystal clear - no flicker!!! I compared the encoding to V-8 with the built-in encoder and also encoding with TMPGENC. There is no comparison. I have no idea what they did to make this quantum improvement but would like to know. Second, the program would not load video from my new Cannon Elura-100. I used SceneAnalyser with no problem. The program is not perfect but getting better. I plan to use this program instead of Ulead Pictureshow which still has the flicker problem.
I've upgraded to version 9. There are two great improvements to VideoStudio. When inserting video in an existing track you can now select tracks (video, video overlay, title and two audio) to be "bumped up" to keep elements aligned. This was the major problem with this program. Second, there is an "audio control view" that allows you to adjust levels on the video and audio tracks.
There is one major caveat. You MUST go to the Ulead user forums on their web site and read the procedure for editing. Basically, when building a DVD, you must edit, convert and save each file to DVD-complient MPEG2, using special MPEG settings on the custom template. Then you assemble your video components in the DVD menu program WITHOUT anything in the edit timeline. Use the procedure and your creation process works well. Try to use the program intuitively and you may have horribly re-rendered video, take forever to author the disk or the whole thing may crash.
It was NOT Ulead that came up with this procedure. It was users who worked with the program who figured it out. Ulead hasn't publicized this or put it in their manuals. This is, IMHO, lousy customer relations, forgiven only because they are hosting this info on their company-owned web biard. But you have to dig to find it.
Although VideoStudio 10 has neat features (like, supposedly 10 video overlay tracks for super-duper composite shots) I'm not planning to upgrade anytime soon; this program does all I need it to do. Its heavily kinky DVD creation process may turn off the "easy to use" crowd, but if you're unwilling to learn your tools, you don't deserve to have any tools. The guide link below is the direct link to the appropriate article on Ulead's user web board.
There are other programs that are better, if you have a grand that is. Otherwise this is about the best out there right now.
But of course you do need to be familiar with video editing in the first place.
Only use uncompressed AVI's as source to edit with.
Have enough of a machine to edit video on.
Spend the few hours necessary to actually learn the software.
Check out the Ulead Support board, much information on how to actually use it.
My 2cents
I recently bought a Vivitar DVR-310 digital camera and this software was included with my purchase. As I have windows XP I didn't need to install any additional drivers or anything. I just stuck in the cd and installed the videostudio. Very simple and straight forward.
I then beagn to download my first movie and set of photo's I had taken with the camera. They downloaded as .ASF files and were converted to mpeg files whilst creating a cd that would be playable in all cd and dvd drives (known as a vcd).
I then created my first VCD and hey presto! I had my very first VCD which was playable in all DVD players. The speed of the playback was rather slow and distorted so I re-created the VCD and increased the playback speed (this increased the speed of the sound as well making us sound like we were on helium!)
I then went on to create my third VCD but this where the problems started. The software just wouldn't create a disc. it stopped converting my .asf files from my digi cam. I uninstalled and reinstalled many times but to no avail. I tried saving the movie file as a WMA, mpeg and pal vcd file but i kept getting failure messages half way through burning my movie on to a cd.
In the end i just got fed up. I tried looking for file converting software and managed to find a free trial for a software that converted my .asf file to an mpeg. I converted my video file to mpeg using this software and then tried creating a vcd again on ulead videostudio v.8. it worked!!!!!
It is still working I have created many VCD without a problem. I ended up buying the software that helped me create my mpeg files from shareware: SUPER DVD CREATER V8.5 MPEG FILE CONVERTOR.
Ulead Videostudio v.8 is great ,you can create excellent special effects on both video's and photo's and you can add mp3 and wav music as well as sectioning your movie into parts so that you can select which clips you want to keep and which clips you want to discard. You can add titles, overlays, control the speed of playback and add voice overs. A very good and straight forward editing suite . It's very user friendly and perfect for basic users. Just make sure your video and image files are converted to mpeg format before creating a movie.
I still don't know why my movies don't playback at normal speed once they have been transferred to cd. I have constantly had to increase the playback speed during the editing process. This a problem that needs to be addressed as it affects the speed of the sound on the video. Normal playback speed is set at 100% but i have had to increase it to 110% each time.
I have used numerous tools for editing and authoring, and I keep coming back to video studio. Excellent product. Needs more filters and the rendering engine could be improved (both in high end quality and file size) but overall it produces good to great quality. Editing is top notch. Nothing else I have edits as well. Its ability to edit without reencoding is excellent. And its cuts are frame exact. Authoring is a bit simple, not nearly as customizable as others, but it does what I want it to do and I have not yet tried vs8. Great product. You can easily pick up a special edition version on ebay for less than 2 bills ($20). Everyone should own this and they will use it.
I have been using Ulead Video Studio now for the past 4 years. Now that VS8 is out it is a great capture - edit- burn program. As with any program, when you spend time on it, it becomes rather easy to work with.
I agree. This is where improvement is urgently needed. You cannot edit exactly. What you select and what you get are not the same. If they could make this work well, it would make it an excellent program-especially if re-encodeing does not take place.
I use Cuttermaran which is an excellent editor-save only the need to demux.
It's pretty lame and often truncates the end of clips. The only Ulead Video program that I find at all useful is DVD Factory, and then only if you do not need to compress the audio. Otherwise, I still stick with Vegas and DVD Architect.
Ulead Videostudio 8, is the budget version of the Ulead Media Studio Pro 7. Both do DVD burning video capture like with all Ulead video, but these two are the worst I've seen in doing it easy. Ulead Media Studio Pro 7 is so expensive, and complex to use, and I still can't get it to work right with MPEG 1/2 files it's more for DV and high end stuff. Has a lot of features, almost like Virtualdub, just not easy to use as Ulead DVD Author Workshop 2.21 is.
Ulead Videostudio 8 is a memory hog, it's very, very slow to load and do anything in it even on a P4 2.4GHz with 1MB L2 and 1GB DDR RAM. I ended up pulling it off and switched to Ulead DVD Workshop 2.21 and TMPGenc DVD Author 1.5 instead for editing Mpeg. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous postings is that TMPGenc DVD Author has full frame-by-frame editing and it's very quick FF/RW. None of the Ulead programs have that well the Videostudio has something like it but it's harder to use (you got to dig around it) and not easy either.
Good luck all!
I've had VideoStudio 7 for close to a year now since it came bundled with my DVDRW drive. However, I found the software EXTREMELY buggy and unstable and not very intuitive; I found the workflow and commands very odd...not similar to any other video software. I've tried many, many times to edit video, author a DVD, repair files, and was never able to complete any task. Well, after recently reading several glowing reviews of VideoStudio 8 I downloaded and installed the trial (30 days, no limitations). Well, I'm quite pleasantly surprised! It's like totally different software... not only does it seem very stable (no crashes yet), the feature set seems way more extensive than that in version 7. I've only been using it for a few days but I may just have to pay for the upgrade.
I loved and enjoyed the limited edition (VideoStudio 7 SE DVD) that came with my Pioneer A06 burner. I was delighted to find that the program would import files from non-commercial DVD's. Well, I started to work on a project. I had to reload Windows XP Pro for another reason. And when I did...boom, the AC3 audio from the DVD's didn't play in the editor!
Note, the captured files DID play in Windows Media Player with audio. But the AC3 audio didn't play in the editor (and it did before).
So, I upgraded to the Ulead VideoStudio 8 via ESD. I also bought their AC3 plugin. It works okay, but...STILL no AC3 audio from anything imported!
I'm hoping to get this resolved, but so far no luck. As it turns out, the "transcode problem" actually helped. I ended up playing my DVD's in a home type player, dubbing the audio and video into my Digital8 camcorder, then dubbing the tape into VideoStudo via Firewire. It worked, and I had my audio back. However, doing it live with passthrough proved impossible. The "buffer flush" killed things. However, by dubbing from the tape, VideoStudio stops the tape, waits for the buffer to flush, then resumes again. This seems to occur with anything longer than 5 minutes or so on my 1 GhZ Athlon system. But it's something I can live with.
Aside from that, and the inability to insert video in the timeline without having to manually move other elements like audio and video supers, this is a neat little editor. If you plan, and assemble your elements from front to back, it actually works pretty fast.
And yes, Ulead's customer service is slow, but their forum provides a lot of help and discussion.
Ulead VideoStudio 8 is stable, easy to use and produces great results. I used the fully functional trial version for 30 days and then purchased the full version for $50 with a competitive upgrade rebate.
I have mainly used Pinnacle's Studio 8 but I have tried many other video editing softwares and in my humble opinion VS8 is the best. What I really like about this software is the large preview window, faster rendering, the user interface and the fact that it will let you create video_ts folders of any size.
I have had VS 6.0SE, 7.0SE, 7.0, and now 8.0. Had some configuration problems, finally worked them out on my own. Ulead technical help is awful. Non-responsive, issues canned answers, etc. Ulead support forum on their website is the REAL support for this product. Once I got the issues resolved, I am extremely impressed with VS8.0. New auto music is awesome for providing music tracks for home videos, easy to use and works great. Tons of new transitions, images, filters, video clips. Editor very easy to use, you can rapidly go between sound, effects, clip, and all other editing modes. Project save / rendering methods work great. Output quality is excellent. Did a 15 minute video of my kid's 5 year B-day party with custom titiling, photo slideshows, music, etc., from DV source and digital camera. Perfect DVD output. Great program
One of the easiest to use video editors around. If you are familiar with any other editor in the $99 range, you would already be familiar with this app.
I especially like how easy it was to creat picture in picture and even added multiple animated Titles. You can be creative without worrying about 'work-arounds' or crashes. This probram was verystable on my machine and I created a great music video for my nephew's garage band.
The AC3 plugin is out. Does a nice job too.
Just used VS8 to do the editing for my bother's wedding. The new quicktracks audio is great for filler music. Only complaint I have is with the fact that they changed the project file so it cannot be read by the current version of Media Studio Pro. Oh well....

Memories of past struggles are now melting in the heat of success, but lavish attention from football's highest level still carries a surreal aura with it onto Stanford's campus, especially since Andrew Luck isn't around anymore. Unlike last season, when No. 12's final spectacle on The Farm made the event, Thursday saw Stanford's emergence as a factory of physically imposing football talent generate the hoopla instead.
"My job was to create the physically dominating roster that coach Harbaugh wanted," says strength and conditioning coach Shannon Turley, the man at the forefront of the Cardinal's muscular transformation of the past half decade.
He's done well. The latest opportunity to revel in that success came Thursday, when twelve former Stanford players, most from the school's heralded 2009 recruiting crop, culminated their college development with impressive showings at 2013 Pro Day.
It's a testament to the Farm Boys' physical depth that perhaps the day's most impressive performance came from one of the session's less heralded players. Linebacker Alex Debniak worked out on both sides of the football to showcase his versatility, and scouts were treated to a freakish combination of athleticism and physicality. Debniak's team-leading 10-foot, 3-inch broad jump will excite the NFL about Stanford's secret specimen, a guy who flew under the radar during his college career.
Ever the perfectionist, Debniak was disappointed in his 40-yard dash showing. Perspective is important here: If someone said six years ago that a muscle-laden, back-up Stanford linebacker would be upset after sprinting a 4.65, they'd be considered nuts.
A full list of Thursday's results is here. The numbers show consistent improvement across the board. Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor, and Chase Thomas all bettered their NFL Combine 40-yard dash results: Ertz's low 4.6 surpassed Notre Dame rival Tyler Eifert's 4.68, Taylor's similar time erased a poor Combine showing that was run on a bad ankle, and Thomas' 4.78 mark bettered his earlier performance.
Special teams enjoyed time in the limelight, too. Looking back to this past season, it's clear that Stanford couldn't have upset Oregon at Autzen Stadium without the stellar punting efforts of Daniel Zychlinski, and he, too, made a strong statement, booting a number of punts upwards of 50 yards with excellent directional control.
Zychlinksi's day provided an excellent reminder of Stanford's 2012 Rose Bowl success, a memorable season attained through the sum of several superb efforts. It was only fitting, then, that Ertz's focus leaving the field wasn't on his own solid performance, but rather on other components expected to drive the Cardinal's future success -- pieces that will one day enjoy a Pro Day full of NFL scouts, too.
"Look out for Jordan Richards," Ertz said without being asked. "He's the best safety that I've ever played against. That defense is going to be nasty next year."
A striking mentality has been ingrained at Stanford, one that's constantly zeroed in on the next opportunity for success. It's generated a workmanlike attitude that isn't new anymore, much like the hoard of NFL scouts that now regularly converges on The Farm to witness its results.

Consular outreach sessions in Halifax are scheduled if there is sufficient interest.
If you would like to apply for a passport or you need any other consular services please familiarize yourself
with the information
here then contact me at
Thanks to incredible support and hard work by many people, St. Mary's Polish Church in Whitney Pier, Nova Scotia,
the only Polish church in Atlantic Canada, has re-opened after the fire in 2014.
Established in 1913, the church is the centre of Cape Breton's Polish community,
one of the longest-standing Polish communities in Canada.
The Open House took place on Sunday, June 26, 2016 and the official Mass of Consecration was held on Sunday, July 3, 2016.
Everyone was welcome to see the beautiful church including the Polish community in Halifax.
See pictures....
Another great event organized by the Polish Canadian Society of Nova Scotia and the
Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Nova Scotia.
Hon Consul, Jan Skora, provided remarks on the occasion of 225th anniversary of adoption of the Constitution of May 3, the first written constitution in modern Europe
and the second in the world, after America's. He also handed a commemorative medal for the 70th Anniversary of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising awarded by the Polish Government to
Mr. Zahorski.
The Polish Canadian Society of Nova Scotia prepared a wonderful program to celebrate their achievements in preserving Polish history, culture and
traditions with an added Polish - Canadian focus. There are about 1 Million people of Polish decent curently living in Canada.
In February of 2002, the Senate of the Republic of Poland adopted a resolution setting aside May 2nd as a day to honor the
worldwide Polonia.
The event was attended by: Lieutenant Governor J.J Grant and Mrs. Grant, Hon Lena Diab, Minister of Immigration on behalf of Premier Stephen
McNeil, Hon Michael MacDonald, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, Hon Tony Ince, Minister of Communities, Culture and Heritage,
Mike Savage, Mayor of Halifax, Matt Whitman, Deputy Mayor of Halifax,
representatives of the Consular Corps of Nova Scotia, members of Polish and Canadian community.
See pictures....
At the invitation of the Honorary Polish Consul in Halifax, Jan Skora, the Battle of the Atlantic Society
participated in a study tour of Polish Museums in October 2015. The main goal was to establish a relationship
between Polish ORP 'Blyskawica', the oldest preserved destroyer in the world, and Canadian HMCS 'Sackville',
both being historic ships and of cultural significance to their respective navies.
As a result of the visit, Cdr Lubkowski, CO of ORP 'Blyskawica' and Lt Cdr Jarosz,
Deputy Commander of the Sailing Training Center of the Polish Navy visited Halifax May 16 - 21, 2016 to pursue

Press Release.
At the initiative of the Honorary Consul, Jan Skora, the City of Halifax and the City of Gdynia, Poland
started preparing for declaring both cities as "sister" cities. A delegation from Halifax travelled to Poland in October 2015 to establish initial contact.
As a result of the visit the Mayor of Gdynia accepted the proposal in an official letter to Mike Savage, Mayor of Halifax.
A meeting with Mayor Mike Savage took place on May 13, 2016 to plan future potential cooperation between both cities in the economic and cultural
areas. The existence of the Emigration Museum in Gdynia and the Canadiann Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax proves that the possible
cooperation holds a huge potential.
The European Union Centre of Excellence with the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies at Dalhousie University,
in conjunction with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Ottawa and the Consulate of the Republic of
Poland in Halifax organized the talk about the Road to the NATO Warsaw Summit in July 2016,
how to strengthen NATO and enhance European security. About 80 guests participated in this seminar.
The speaker was Robert Kupiecki, Former Poland's Deputy Minister of National Defence, Former Ambassador to the United States of
America, Former Deputy Ambassador to NATO and currently Professor in the Institute of International Relations,
National Defence University Warsaw, Poland.
The Polish Embassy in Ottawa has asked me to present a proposal to the Polish Canadian Society of Nova Scotia (PCSNS) to
assume the honorary patronage over the grave of Prof. Stanislaw Swianiewicz located in Sackville, Nova Scotia.
I would like to inform you that the proposal has been accepted by PCSNS at their last meeting on March 19, 2016.
For those of you who are not familiar with his life and achievements, you can read more information about Professor
Stanislaw Swianiewicz here.
I also encourage you to read about another outstanding Polish historian, Professor
Stanislaw Bóbr-Tylingo, a person very well known to a lot of
us and visit his grave which is also located in Sackville.
Please see the
location of both graves.
I have been receiving inquiries about summer camps for children and youth in Poland combined with learning Polish.
During my diplomatic conference in Ottawa in 2015, the Director of the Department of Cooperation with the Polonia and Poles Abroad,
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed me that such opportunities exist.
Learning the Polish language is one of the top priorities
of the Polish government in cooperation with the Polish community abroad. An example is the current active support of the Polish
language classes also in our province.
Currently, learning Polish at summer camps falls under the Ministry of National Education. Implementation of this program is
run by various foundations and associations. On this page, you will find the detailed description of the
Summer camps and learning Polish in Poland for children and youth.
The screening of the Polish movies covering the achievements of Polish cinematography in the period of 1945 to 1989 will
take place in Halifax during the months of February and March 2016.
This is the
full list
of films.
The program was organized by Prof. Fred Young, with the support of the Honorary Consul of Poland in Halifax.
I encourage you to
register for this program, especially because we do not often have a chance to see such films in cinema format in Halifax.
If you have additional questions please contact SCANS at email@example.com or (902) 444-7588.

history, 1944 Warsaw Uprising. It was compiled from the original documentary materials. The story is shown through the eyes

Colonel Kiszkowiak talked about a long history of good relations between Poland's and Canada's armed forces.
During the World War I in the town of Niagara on the Lake Canadian soldiers trained 22,000 Polish recruits,
who fought on the European fronts in 1917 and 1918. During World War II Poles and Canadians fought together in Normandy.
Canada accepted in 1947 hundreds of Polish veterans who could not return to their homeland
because of the communist regime repressions and was the first country to ratify the Polish accession to NATO structures.
Today Canada supports the NATO operation of strengthening its eastern flank by presence of Canadian soldiers also in Poland.
"The Death of Captain Pilecki" is a story of the Polish Intelligence officer who wrote the first intelligence report on Auschwitz in 1941, which enabled the Polish Government in exile to convince the Western Allies that the Nazi crimes were taking place in this camp. He volunteered for Polish resistance operations and was willingly imprisoned in Auschwitz in order to gather intelligence. While there, Pilecki organized a resistance movement and escaped after nearly two and a half years of imprisonment. He took part in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, remained loyal to the London-based Polish government, and was executed in 1948 by the communist secret police. This film is co-presented with the Polish Consul in Nova Scotia, Mr. Jan Skora, and the Polish Embassy in Ottawa, to celebrate Polish Constitution Day.
"Ida" is this year's winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Set in 1962, it tells the story of a young Polish woman who discovers, just before she takes her vows to be a Catholic nun, that she is Jewish. With her aunt, a Communist party member, the sheltered and devout young woman travels to the village where their family was hidden by Christians during the war and then betrayed. With characteristic black-and- white photos and convincingly delineated characters, Ida raised public recognition around the world. It is co-presented with the Atlantic Jewish Council.
April 2, 2015 marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II. Although this is not a religious holiday, this date has meaning for us Poles. It is the date of the death of someone very close to us. The Canadian parliament has passed an act designating the date of April 2nd each year as Pope John Paul II Day. Passed by both houses of parliament, the bill also recognizes Saint John Paul II as a champion of human dignity and freedom.
The pope's philosophical works can be of great significance for our lives. In order to promote his thoughts, our colleague
Ryszard Stocki, an organizational psychologist, educator and business consultant, currently a research fellow in the Economics
Department at St. Mary's University in Halifax co- founded the
Institute of Karol Wojtyla in Krakow, Poland.
One of the projects of the Institute is everyday life science textbook, based on the anthropology of Wojtyla, edited by Mr. Stocki,
more information about the project
The first chapter has been developed last year. On the occasion of the upcoming anniversary Mr. Stocki made the
first chapter
available to us. You are invited to read it and explore it for yourself.
For centuries Poland was a refuge for millions of Jews,
country which welcomed them while they were persecuted in other European countries.
We must remember that more than a third of those who died in Auschwitz were Polish citizens -
said ambassador Marcin Bosacki during a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the
German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, which took place on January 27, 2015
in Ottawa City Hall.
Bill C-266 Recognizing Pope John Paul II Day became law in Canada - A message from Hon. Jason Kenney.
The Polish community gathered at St. Anthony's Church in Dartmouth to share Christmas tree tradition, carol singing, sharing of 'oplatek' (Christmas wafer)
and wishes for good health, prosperity and happiness in the New Year.
All the money she raised will be collected by Coalition for Kids International and sent to help the sick children.
The Honorary Consul of Poland donated a beautiful album "Katyn" to the
Halifax Central Library
opened on December 13, 2014.
The book is a gift for participating in the movie screening "Katyn" during the Polish Independence Day commemoration on November 17, 2014.
The movie tells the story about a mass execution of 22,000 Polish POW officers, intellectuals and clergy ordered by the Soviet authorities in 1940.
The library director is the son of a Polish pilot who took part in the Battle of England.
The book will give the local community the opportunity to learn about the Polish history from the period of the Second World War.
Mr. Andrzej Pieczunko, Deputy Director of the Office for Preservation and Dissemination of Archival Records at the
Institute of National Remembrance
– Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation (IPN) and Ms. Teresa Gallewicz
visited Halifax upon the invitation of the Honorary Consul of Halifax, Jan Skora. The primary goal of the visit was to
review and transfer to IPN the documentation
created and collected by
Prof. Stanislaw Bóbr-Tylingo
, saved from destruction by the professor's friends and the Honorary Consul and
stored at the Polish Consulate in Halifax since the professor's death in 2001.
After the review, IPN decided to transfer 148 items of great historical value to their archives in Warsaw.
An active discussion took place during a visit about creating opportunities for international co-operation between
the residents and institutions residing in Nova Scotia. Often historical documents of great value are stored in private collections.
To avoid a possibility of their destruction or getting lost, the individuals would have an opportunity to contact the IPN
and request the assessment of the documents with the possibility of transferring them to the IPN Institute in Poland.
Dr Pylat is the author of numerous articles and conference papers in Polish and in English.
These deal with the issue of education and culture of Poles abroad both after 1945 and the new emigration since 1989.
Her books include: Friends of Poland: A Short History, 1982-2009 (London 2012); PUNO, Polski Universytet na Obczyznie;
with Andrzej Suchcitz General Wladyslaw Anders: Soldier and Leader of Free Poles in Exile (London 2008);
Filozofia Polskiego Universytetu na Obczyznie (Warsaw 2014).
Pomorze Polish Dance Ensemble was established in 1983 by a group of friends and enthusiasts,
and still continues to foster the love of traditional and modern dance. We attend festivals and
workshops around the world, and are looking for members to join in the fun and experience!

Foley's Spouse No Stranger to Power
By MARTIN TOLCHIN,
Published: March 27, 1992
WASHINGTON, March 26— For 23 years, Heather S. Foley worked in the shadows of Capitol Hill, a mysterious, reclusive figure attached to a rising star in the House of Representatives. As the unpaid chief of staff to her husband, Representative Thomas S. Foley of Washington State, she grew in power as he ascended the ladder, from committee chairman to majority whip, majority leader and finally Speaker of the House.
In contrast to her husband, a gentle, friendly man whose success was built on his congeniality, Mrs. Foley is blunt-spoken and strong-minded and has become increasingly resented and feared as her power has grown. It is a familiar pattern in which the one spouse's toughness enables the other to be easygoing.
To be sure, Mrs. Foley has her defenders. They include Representative John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat and chairman of the Energy and Commerce committee, who gave Mrs. Foley her first Capitol Hill job in the late 1950's. "There's resentment toward anybody who does anything around here," he said. "She's resented because she has to do things that people don't want done. Pushed to Center Stage
Now Mrs. Foley, who has been interviewed only once in all those years, finds herself on center stage in a drama that has swept Capitol Hill. She has emerged as a key figure in investigations of abuses in the House.
Mrs. Foley, 51 years old, runs her husband's office and supervises many Capitol employees. In this capacity, she has been involved in the problems of the scandal-plagued House bank and post office, although her role is in dispute.
House Republican leaders say that in the fall of 1989, more than two years before the phrase "House bank" became a symbol of the public's contempt for Congress, Mrs. Foley obtained a document that helped transform an administrative embarrassment into a national scandal.
The document was a list of members of Congress who repeatedly overdrew their accounts. By quietly showing the list to Republican leaders, who reacted not with gratitude but with suspicion -- how had a Democratic aide obtained embarrassing information about Republicans? -- Mrs. Foley unwittingly helped to touch off an affair that started with partisan name-calling and led to humiliation for many lawmakers.
And last week, Mrs. Foley testified before a Federal grand jury investigating another matter, involving allegations that she tried to quash an investigation of embezzlement and cocaine sales at the House post office. Never Mind the Publicity
Speaking through an aide to Mr. Foley, Mrs. Foley declined to be interviewed for this article. "She thinks of herself as a staffer," said Jeff Biggs, the Speaker's press secretary. "Why would she get publicity? That belongs to the Speaker."
Fearful that any criticism would diminish their standing with the Speaker, most members or Congressional aides decline to discuss Mrs. Foley for the record. Even praise often comes anonymously. A member of the Speaker's staff called "referee, counselor, den mother, manager, doer, adding that she has been "involved in every campaign, in every important decision."
One thing she is not involved in is socializing; she seldom accompanies her husband to parties, preferring quiet evenings with friends. Daughter of Diplomat
A lawyer who was born in Detroit and raised around the world as the daughter of a foreign service officer, Heather Strachan graduated from Pembroke College in Providence, R.I., and received her law degree from George Washington University. She married Mr. Foley in 1969 and became his unpaid assistant.
As arbiter of the House's office space, Mrs. Foley can reward friends and punish enemies. She replaced the House document room in the Capitol, where visitors could obtain copies of congressional bills and reports, with office space for the Democrats' Steering and Policy Committee. She ordered installation of marble floors in the House elevators, and a second full bathroom with shower outside the Speaker's office.
Mr. Foley has attributed criticism of his wife to sexism. "I think there's still a resentment of women who achieve prominent roles," he said in an interview. The Speaker also regards criticism of his wife as Republican efforts to discredit him. A Dislike for Cigars
But the criticism is bipartisan. Some say that it is rooted in Mrs. Foley's lack of deference in a world in which members of Congress expect worshipful attention from aides.
In a celebrated incident, Mrs. Foley attended a leadership meeting several years ago at which she asked then Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. to extinguish a cigar. Few members, let alone aides, would have had the temerity to make that request. Mr. O'Neill growled, but complied.
Mrs. Foley's reclusiveness, her nonconformity, and her unusual status as both aide and spouse, have combined to make her a favorite topic of conversation on Capitol Hill. Her reputation is such that some members of Congress are eager to impart sinister spin to some mysterious incidents that have added to her legend. A Christmastime Incident
On the Saturday before Christmas 1990, when the Capitol was virtually deserted, Capitol Police officers were summoned by a silent alarm that had been set off in the Capitol physician's office. There, they encountered Mrs. Foley, who explained that she needed allergy medicine that was kept there. Mrs. Foley, who had let herself into the physician's office, said she had injected herself with the medication, and was about to leave.

The third consecutive plate race pitted teams of summer research students from different science departments, Richter scholars and the LFC-RFUMS Summer Scholars programs. Runners balanced a stack of petri dishes in a relay around the Middle Campus Quad in this highlight of the summer semester.
Certified therapy dogs brought smiles to students faces during the hectic finals week in May. The therapy dogs visit campus during mid-terms and finals to give students an opportunity to de-stress and connect with a furry friend.
Four-week Richter scholars presented the results of their research during a daylong symposium on June 3. Seventeen students worked on 13 projects in art history, business, chemistry, computer science, English, environmental studies, politics, and psychology. The 10-week Richter Scholar Symposium will be held on Friday, July 22.
Congratulations to the 42 new scholars that will research on campus during the summer of 2016!

It must be admitted that when I read this particular article:
In a move that seemed to surprise many members of Maine's Republican Party, a group of tea party-style activists redefined the party platform at the convention Saturday.
After the vote, in which a vocal majority supported a wholesale replacement of language worked on by the party establishment since at least January, a string of delegates congratulated Horatio "Ted" Cowan III, a retired marine electrician from Rockland who wrote the adopted amendment.
...I mostly snickered at The Outrage over what happens to be a fairly straightforwardly party platform that should have a good deal of appeal to conservatives, libertarians, and populists. I personally would have argued the hard line on illegal immigration and same-sex marriage, but the former is an argument over tactics and 53% of the voting population of Maine disagrees with me on the latter anyway. So, really, business as usual, nice to see that the Ron Paul people were actually participating in local party structures like we had been asking them to do throughout all of 2008... and, yeah, Maine's lost to conservatism, so let them have their fun.
Then I read a few more details of what actually happened.
To begin with - and somewhat contrary to the first article - this platform apparently was drunk up by the conventioneers like thirsty plants drinking up rain:
The wide acceptance of the platform at the convention surprised even its co-authors. "I had no inkling this would pass, and frankly we'd been told as much by people running the convention," says co-author Steven Dyer, an evangelical youth pastor and vice chair of the Knox County Republican Committee, which sponsored the document. "They didn't even make copies of it for the delegates. They just read it to them from the podium."
Mr. Dyer says he and his co-authors aren't members of the tea party, although some have attended such events. They were motivated by disappointment with the party's "progressive" wing, which had "forgotten what it means to be a Republican," he says.
He agrees that the document is vague in parts, but that was because they had expected it to be merely a draft to begin negotiations with less-conservative party members. To their amazement, it passed with the support of not only tea-party groups, evangelical Christians, and Ron Paul libertarians, but also a large number of presumably rank-and-file conventioneers.
(Via Instapundit) Apparently the Maine GOP organization was chafing a little bit over their current platform - but only moderates can get elected in Maine, right? Hold on, let's get a quote from a local political guy:
"If you're not a moderate, you don't get elected in Maine," says political consultant Chris Potholm, a professor of government at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. "Any candidate who gets nominated is going to ignore that platform, or he or she is going to lose.*"
It's the standard argument, but it has one small problem: the Maine GOP has been apparently acting in accordance with that principle, and it currently 'enjoys' a three-to-two disadvantage in the state legislature and hasn't elected a Republican to Congress for over fifteen years**. The entire 'must be moderate to win' has as its assumption that both conservatism and liberalism must be best considered as mere intellectual concepts, and never mind their practical utility. Because of this assumption, te idea that one or the other could be simply better at running a city, state, or country - and that it could be shown to be better - must then be squashed. Particularly in a state already dominated by Democrats, as then there would be no pesky alternative political theories to provide a contrast to the existing paradigm.
So let's see how this turns out, shall we?
Moe Lane
*I am ashamed to admit that I assumed that the quote from Potholm above was provided on command... because if I had actually went to confirm that, I wouldn't have delayed the pleasure of reading this charmingly mean review* of one of Potholm's books. Word of advice for budding political writers: always make sure that you spell right the names of anybody who might conceivably end up reviewing one of your books someday.
**I grant (unlike some reading this) that Maine's two sitting Senators are both Republican and 'moderates' - but they're also personally popular; if you replaced either Collins or Snowe with Republicans who were equally 'moderate' the seats would probably flip at the next election, and by Democrats who would not be moderate.

Thistledown: Raise the Reward rebounds strongly in George Lewis Memorial
Raise the Reward, who finished ahead of only two horses in a 10-horse field as the 7-5 favorite in last month's Gendelman at Beulah Park, reversed his form Saturday when he scored by 1 1/2 lengths over last season's top female Ohio handicap runner Startin Something in the $50,000 George Lewis Memorial Stakes for Ohio-accredited horses at Thistledown.
The 7-year-old Raise the Reward ($6.20), second in last year's running of the 1 1/8-mile Lewis, ran the distance in 1:52.60. He was ridden by Jake Radosevich for trainer Jeff Radosevich and owner Michael Annehino. Raise the Reward is now 10 for 47 lifetime. In his last appearance at Thistledown in May, Raise the Reward won the six-furlong Mike Rowland Memorial.
Startin Something, the 9-5 favorite, was 1 3/4 lengths clear of third-place Uncle Virgil.
The 12-year-old Catlaunch, coming off his 24th career stakes victory in the Gendelman, finished last of nine at 7-2.

Agnes proceeds by a series of fusions. Initially (at step 0), all objects are apart– each object forms a small cluster by itself. At the first step, two closest or minimally dissimilar objects are merged to form a cluster. Then the algorithm finds a pair of objects with minimal dissimilarity. If there are several pairs with minimal dissimilarity, the algorithm picks a pair of objects at random. Picking of pairs of objects, which are minimally dissimilar is quite straightforward, but how to select pairs of clusters with minimal dissimilarity? It is necessary to define a measure of dissimilarity between clusters. Average pair group method (UPGMA) is used to compute the dissimilarity between a pair of clusters. Dissimilarity between clusters R and Q is defined as the average of all dissimilarities:
d (i ,j) , where i is any object of R and j is any object of Q. More formally
d ( R, Q) = [1/ (|R||Q|)]
where |R| and |Q| denote the number of objects in clusters R and Q respectively.
Agnes computes a coefficient, called Agglomerative Coefficient, which measures the clustering structure of the data set. Agglomerative coefficient is defined as follows:
Let d(i) denote the dissimilarity of object i to the first cluster it is merged with, divided by the dissimilarity of the merger in the last step of the algorithm.
The agglomerative coefficient (AC) is defined as the average of all [ 1-d(i)]
Note that the agglomerative coefficient (AC) defined above can also be defined as the average width (or the percentage filled) of the banner plot described below.
Because AC grows with the number of objects, this measure should not be used to compare clusters of data sets of very different sizes.
Dissimilarity Banner: The hierarchy obtained by Agnes can be graphically displayed by means of a banner, which shows the successive mergers from left to right A banner consists of stars and stripes. The stars indicate linking of objects and stripes are identifiers of these objects. A banner is always read from left to right. Each line with stars starts at the dissimilarity between the clusters being merged. There are fixed scales above and below the banner, ranging from 0.00 (Dissimilarity = 0) and 1.00 (Dissimilarity = highest dissimilarity encountered). The actual highest dissimilarity corresponding to 1.00 in the banner is shown just below the banner.
The overall width of the banner gives an idea of the amount of structure found by the algorithm. When the data possesses a clear cluster structure, the between - cluster dissimilarities would become larger than the within cluster dissimilarities. As a consequence, the black lines in the banner would become larger.
The average width of the banner is called the agglomerative coefficient (AC). It describes the strength of the clustering structure that has been found.
where li is the length of the line containing the identifier of object i. AC is a dimensionless quantity, varying between 0 and 1. AC close to 1 indicates that a very clear structuring has been found. AC close to 0 indicates that the algorithm has not found a natural structure. In other words, the data consists of only one big cluster.

The Vigo County School Corporation in Terre Haute, Indiana, is telling teachers and other staff they can't lead prayers during school-sponsored events.
A letter from the school district's attorney said all of the district's principals have been told "that teacher-led prayer with students present will cease, as it is prohibited by the Constitution and should not be allowed."
The move comes after the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint against the district in May after a teacher opened an awards banquet with prayer.
The group said public school teachers must be religiously neutral while at work.
Meanwhile, Superintendent Dan Tanoos said he'll "continue to allow student-led prayer when they choose to do so."

Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes
Dan Ouellette
Paperback; 435 pages
The new biography of bassist Ron Carter possesses everything one could desire: an introduction by noted jazz writer Nat Hentoff, a judicious discography, copious photographs, and a stream of well-researched facts and anecdotes about Carter and his 50+ years as a professional musician.
Born May 4th, 1937 in Ferndale, Michigan, Carter started cello lessons at age 10, then switched to bass in high school. At first he played classical music and only dabbled in jazz, but in Carter's last year of college, an eminent conductor told Carter that he would never find work in an orchestra because he was black. Initially Carter was devastated, but he switched his focus to jazz and moved to New York City in 1959, where he was immediately appreciated as a unique talent.
It's probably easier to list who Carter didn't play with, but his musical cohorts over the years include Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, Coleman Hawkins, Chet Baker, Benny Goodmanthe list literally goes on and on. And of course there's Carter's tenure in Miles' legendary '60s quintet. Ouellette does an excellent job diving into the inner workings of this historic group, including delicious anecdotes such as the time Carter accidentally stepped on Miles' trumpet.
As the book unfolds, it's difficult to believe that one man could have achieved so much. In addition to his prodigious jazz output, Carter's bass is omnipresent throughout the latter half of 20th century music, including classical, pop, rock, hiphop, jingles, and film and TV themes. There's also his career as an educator, which includes nearly 20 years at the City College of New York, private students such as Victor Bailey and Larry Grenadier, and his current position at Juilliard. Equally impressive are Carter's achievements as a human being: throughout his career he has been a role model of sobriety, punctuality and professionalism.
Ouellette has done a fine job bringing Carter to life and searching out the many threads of his multi-faceted career. Carter's history is jazz' history, making this book a must for all jazz fans.

Everyone seems to be in New York right now, including the Erie BayHawks.
The BayHawks are practicing at the training site of their NBA affiliates, the New York Knicks, for two days this week before heading to Springfield, Mass., Friday to play the Armor.
This is the second straight year the BayHawks have practiced with the Knicks, who on Wednesday temporarily assigned centers Jeremy Tyler and Cole Aldrich and guard Toure Murry to work out with them.
Knicks assistant general manager and BayHawks general manager Allan Houston is attending the practices.
The Knicks are expected to recall Tyler, Aldrich and Murry today.
The BayHawks are in the second year of their affiliation with the Knicks, who practice at Madison Square Garden Training Center in Tarrytown, N.Y.
They attended Tuesday's Knicks-Celtics game at Madison Square Garden.
Tyler, who spent about a month with the BayHawks earlier this season, had 17 points and five rebounds Tuesday in the Knicks' 114-88 win.
It was Tyler's first game in double figures since joining the Knicks on Jan. 2. After failing to score and playing a total of only 2 minutes in his first seven games, Tyler has averaged 5.5 points over the past eight games. He has 15 rebounds and four blocked shots in his past three games.
He's played 54 minutes the past three games, including 23 against the Celtics.
Tyler averaged 18 points and 10.2 rebounds in six games with the BayHawks this season.

it needs to go to zero
damn right the debt is an issue----what happens as this recession gets worse and their credit line is pulled right out from them? Just a matter of time.
240mm in free cash flow for the trailing twelve months & 336mm in operating cash flow, I suspect both will be higher when they report y/e. I agree the debt is an issue but looks like the cash flow is adequate to cover debt payments. Again, there is nothing the would suggest this company is going to zero.
it will fight a good fight wont go to zero for a while...they will squeeze it for every lousy dime until it is unsalvageable.big writeoff of good will this year end though - NON- CASH of course...but reflects the disastrous destruction of value Mahtin has presided over by overpaying for a string of acquisitions.
Company finished the year with more than $360 million of cash on the balance sheet.

text: i would go with kirby. its the most similar to how it is now. Zelda and Metroid are completely different games now than they were then. They made you feel completely lost and you had no idea what to do. Thats not a bad thing, but its nothing like zelda now where navi tells you where to go on the map, and you dont even have a map for metroid. if you haven't played any of these games before and are judging how much you would like them by their offspring now.... go with kirby
