Travel for mind, body and spirit: Feet Walking in Holland
Saturday 09 January 1999
When it comes to walking for pleasure, I have a couple of simple requirements. Firstly, the terrain has to be flat. And secondly, I need the comfort of knowing that there are plenty of cheerful little bars along the route. Not for me the grim-but-worthy trudge across the Himalayas accompanied only by a yak.
For like-minded potterers, where better to holiday with one's feet than Amsterdam? Holland is, after all, famously short on mountains. And the city's neatly gridded canal system keeps your feet firmly on the straight and narrow. Even the most incompetent of map-readers can't get lost for long. (If you do, just stagger into the nearest bar and ask someone where you are. Unless it happens to be one of those with a neon-lit leaf outside, they ought to be able to tell you.)
There's no contest at all, in my book, for the best walk in Amsterdam: a gentle amble through the magical, leafy district known as the Jordaan. Bounded by the canals Prinsengracht to the east, Brouwersgracht to the north, Lijnbaansgracht to the west and (depending on whom you believe, since even the Amsterdam authorities can't agree on it) either Elandsgracht or Leidesgracht to the south, the area is a lovely patchwork of narrow, shady streets, tree-lined strips of blue canal and secret garden courtyards (known as hofjes), hidden behind wooden doorways.
Originally the Jordaan was solidly working-class. The population is now more eclectic. An influx of designers and artists have brought with them a scattering of craft boutiques and small art galleries, which rub shoulders with the myriad traditional "brown bars" of the area (the best have flagged floors, wooden panelling and chess-boards befogged by clouds of tobacco smoke). And with 800 of its 8,000 homes and warehouses bearing the blue- and-white tiles that designate them protected monuments, rents in the Jordaan have inevitably shot up.
To date the charmingly offbeat character of the area has survived gentrification with panache. The mobile phones are still muzzled. But if you haven't visited already, now's probably a good time to go. A Dutch dictionary is a useful accompaniment for a stroll as the Jordaan street names change at almost every block, with the shortest streets (perversely) almost invariably having the longest names - all of which can make map- reading a bit of a struggle. But keeping an eye on the meanings of place- names can be unexpectedly rewarding.
The Jordaan's own name is believed to derive from the French jardin. (The district was established in the 17th century by French Huguenot settlers.) And as you walk through you'll find a chain of street names that reinforce the garden theme. There's Bloemstraat (Flower Street), Tuinstraat (Garden Street) and Laurierstraat (Laurel Street). Then there's the Rozengracht (Rose Canal), the Lindengracht (Linden Canal) and the Egelantiersgracht (named after sweet briar, or eglantine).
Street names are also a handy guide to the trade history of the area. A major industry of the 17th century was tanning, for example. So look out for Looiersgracht (Tanner's Canal) and a criss-cross of surrounding streets named after pelts. There's Hazenstraat (Hare Street), Elandsgracht (Elk Canal), Wolvenstraat (Wolf Street) and Reestraat (Deer Street).
For another set of clues to the Jordaan's history, keep an eye out for gable stones - painted signs or carved plaques set halfway up houses or above doorways as a guide to the identity of the occupant (Amsterdam didn't institute street numbers until 1796). You'll see elks over the door at Elandsgracht 125, former home of a tanner. At Brouwersgracht 52, the chairs signal the home of a furniture maker; at Tuinstraat 57, a sheet-maker's home is indicated by a set of woven threads.
A natural starting point for a walking tour of the Jordaan is the Westerkerk on Prinsengracht - and, if you're there in the summer, you can climb to the top of the Westertoren and enjoy a fabulous aerial view of the whole district before setting off. From the church, turn right up Prinsengracht, passing the Anne Frank house, and then cross the canal straight into the Jordaan.
A left and a right will bring you directly on to Bloemgracht with its elegant gabled houses. Look out for three beautiful mid-17th-century examples from numbers 87-91, also known as the Drie Hendricken (the three Henrys). If you're taking your stone-spotting very seriously, you'll recognise them as the former homes of a farmer, a townsman and a seaman.
Cross the second bridge on Bloemgracht, and a short walk and then a right turn will bring you onto Egelantiersgracht. On 1e Egelantiersgracht 105- 114 you'll come across Andrieshof, one of the oldest hofjes in Amsterdam. Hofjes were originally almshouses, built around courtyards by charitable merchants. Now the homes are privately occupied (in some cases, let out to students) but the attractive communal gardens - often planted with roses or wild flowers - can usually be visited by tourists, as long as quiet is observed.
A stroll by the waterside down Egelantiersgracht then takes you back to Prinsengracht, where two quick left turns bring you onto Egelantierstraat and 1e Egelantiersdwarsstraat. At number 60, you'll see a gable stone showing a group of singers. The building used to be a "musical newspaper", where people composed songs about current events to sing around the neighbourhood streets for money. Also on 1e Egelantiersdwarsstraat you'll find Claes Claeszhofje, a group of hofjes.
The most distinctive house in the complex is the Huis met de Schrijvende Hand (House with the Writing Hand) which comes out on Elegantiersstraat 52. At numbers 24-26, for future reference, you can take note of the friendly Claes Claesz restaurant, open in the evenings.
By now you may have developed a thirst. If you didn't call in at cafe 't Smalle at Egelantiersgracht 12 (a veritable Jordaan institution), do take a right turn and find De Tuin at 2e Tuinswarstraat 13 (my personal favourite of Jordaan bars, and well worth the five minutes of getting seriously lost that it will probably take you to find it). It's everything a brown bar should be.
Suitably revived, you can then weave your way through a maze of small shops and cafes until you cross the main Westerstraat, and head right towards the Noorderkerk. The square there has been a market site since 1627 and is a hub of activity, with the general market being replaced by a flea market on Monday mornings and by a bird market very early on Saturdays.
Once you've finished your haggling, continue over to Lindengracht, turning right past the Sujkerhofje at 149-163 (another lovely garden hidden within) and left onto Brouwersgracht. Brouwersgracht (Brewer's Canal, see picture previous page) is almost everyone's favourite strip of canal in the Jordaan - tranquil, leafy and harbouring a sleepy line of brightly painted house- boats.
And the end of this route brings a welcome reward for weary walkers. The last remaining distillery in the area - the Ooievaar - is just off the western end of the Brouwersgracht on Driehoekstraat (Triangle Street). It has been making jenever since 1782, and its proeflokaal (tasting house) is open to public.
What more appropriate way to say Tot ziens! (see you soon) to the Jordaan?

I am no longer a care-giver
Hi, I used to post here alot at one time. My mom passed away in Feb of this year. I don't think I'll ever get over it. Mother's Day was really hard for me as was my birthday last week.
I'll miss her forever. Rest in peace dear mom...
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
My heart goes out to you. After being a caregiver, it's very difficult to move on. I have been caregiver for my mom and little brother who is handicapped. My dh says he is very worried about what I will do when my mom passes. While it will be a blessing for her as she prays for death, there is loss in so many ways.
I pray that you can move on, keep your wonderful memories and move more and more toward celebrating her life instead of grieving over her death.
Easy to say, I know but maybe doing things that she enjoyed, seeing things she liked etc will help you.
God Bless

When examining a system at resonance, we will observe a maximum peak at the resonant frequency (fO).
The height of the resonant peak will depend on the degree of damping within the vibrating system.
The resonant frequency response can be either very sharp, centered around a high amplitude narrow frequency bandwidth (Δf), or quite broad with lesser amplitude.
The desired acoustical response will determine which characteristic is best.
Systems that have a sharp resonance characteristic are called "high Q"; those with a broad resonance are called "low Q".
The Q term refers to quality factor and can be calculated by the following equation:
Q = quality factor, unitless
fO = resonance frequency, Hz
Δf = frequency bandwidth, Hz, taken as the -3 dB down points about the resonant frequency
Figure 6 shows both high Q and low Q resonance response.
Try to remember the following, or key them into your PDA or computer "cheat sheet."
- Most everyday sounds we encounter are complex waves comprising many frequencies.
- Simple point sources radiate sound as spherical wavefronts assuming the wavelength is smaller than the source dimensions. At greater distances from the source the wavefronts flatten out and become planar.
- Sounds combine due to the law of superposition and the resultant amplitude depends on the amplitude, frequency, and relative phases of each wave.
- Waves will reflect from room surfaces. Specular reflection requires the wavelength to be at least one-fourth the room surface dimension.
- Resonance is the response of a system when driven at its natural frequency. The sharpness of the resonance will depend on the damping within the system. Rooms have special resonant phenomena called room modes.

Severe Storms
We had a little hail damage the other day.
However, what is going on in some parts of NE Colorado right now looks like "a little" may not be a good modifier.
This isn't another garden season ending event, is it? I am thinking especially of Jaliranchr !
Yes, please do Jali! It has been a rough year for you folks out there, I know the hail we have gotten here right at the base of the foothills, I can't imagine what it must be like out there. I hope everything is okay! It sure would be nice if we could rain WITHOUT the ice cube shrapnel!
Hello! Sorry, been a bit busy of late. Thanks for the concern, RMG friends. It isn't nearly as bad as the media tried to make it sound. Kind of routine from our point of view, actually.
Unfortunately, the worst is that a lot of wheat crops are gone. It looked to be a great year, but not anymore.
We had a dandy on Saturday afternoon. Another Sunday at midnight that brought me out of bed faster than I've moved in ages. Then the series of storms Wednesday night. The neighboring town of Hugo took the brunt, but we got very strong straight-line winds and quarter sized hail. Damage is minimal, thankfully. Broken windows and such, but that's the norm.
Heck the Black Dragon lily has buds and they are all still there! The tomatoes are in the shed. I haven't had a chance to plant them, so that heartbreak has been spared. We will see what the forecasted storms bring today. We welcome the 1.5" of moisture we've gotten in the last week, but the other stuff can just stay up in those clouds.
Not a good day to threaten us again, Ma Nature, this is the anniversary of the tornado.
Glad to hear you're pretty much ok so far, Jali, and really glad to hear your tomatoes are still well cloistered! With the news on TV I was starting to picture them like they were in the pictures you posted one time after hail--totally bashed down into the soil!
The only thing on TV for the last couple hours here in Denver is TORNADOS! This would NOT be a good day to be driving out on I-76!!! But I just updated radar and it looks like you have a pretty good cell moving out Limon way right now. Looks like the worst is north of Limon, and I hope that's right and that this one doesn't get you either. Denver "appears" to be mostly "safe" today, but there's still stuff building over the foothills that could possibly come down to bite us! My tomatoes aren't in the ground yet either! Still haven't finished turning over the tomato soil where they'll be planted, so at least I don't have to worry about them! But, aside from a very occasional few drops, no precip at all so far right here by me!
Ma Nature must have a pretty good memory, Jali! I've lost count of how many tornados have been reported on the ground so far today, and I know there were at least EIGHT tornado warnings in effect at one time, 'cause one of the weather guys said so!
Fingers crossed that it all starts to die down soon,
Lots of tornado warnings is right, Skybird. Wow! I am friends with a tornado chaser out of Golden. He was out here yesterday and he stayed around Castle Rock today. He is disappointed, but we are thrilled. But I'm glad professionals like him are out there to observe, inform, and warn the rest of us.
More rain this afternoon bringing our total to 1.8" since last Saturday. Early June always has some storms, but this much precipitation usually waits until the monsoons hit.
Hoping everyone stays safe and the gardens are spared!

Rusty Water Heater Vent Pipe in New House
We've been in our new home just 4 months. We have a 90% efficient gas water heater in our basement which is vented through the attic. The pipe has two curves between the basement ceiling and the top of the water heater. Both curves have quite a lot of rust on them plus there is rust on the top of the water heater. We're wondering if the problem is that the pipe sticking out of the roof is too short. The plumber said our rust problem is the worst he's seen. He told us that the vent pipe should be above the roof peak, but it's several feet below it. Is the rust likely from the short pipe or could there be another reason?
What brand, model and type water heater do you have?
What is the venting material?
4 types
Plastic (most often PVC)
Stainless steel (Cat III with gaskets)
Double wall b-vent Alum pipe with galv outer pipe
single wall pipe used for connectors only with combustion clearance
Anything above 90% efficient is usually PVC Vent, anything between 78%-88% is usually stainless steel and both those dont rust
Thanks for the help z1700. As you probably figured the water heater is not a 90% efficient one. That's the furnace. The water heater is an A.O. Smith ProMax. Model is GCV 50 100. The pipe is the double wall b-vent. The pipe has two bends in it. The first is less than a foot above the water heater. The pipe runs uphill for about 4feet and then there's another bend which takes it through the floor above.
First the water heater is supposed to have an 18" vent rise off the top before the first 90, or as much of the 18" you can get while maintaining a minimum 1/8" rise per foot on the horizontal pitch. Where the vent turns up through the house to the roof, there is supposed to be a tee with a cap in the bottom with the vent connected on the side.
Where the vent terminates the roof, it is supposed to be 2' higher vertically than any rooflines or peaks within 10' horizontally.
Make sure it has a cap, a proper roof jack and storm collar. The rust may be rain coming down the outside of the pipe from an improper install.
And lastly, the pipe size must be appropriate for the BTU's vented into it according to its height.
Obviously we have a problem with the installation of the vent pipe. From what you say the turns above the water heater are not done right. From the ground, it looks like the pipe is 5 to 6 feet below the peak of the roof. We don't want another hole in our roof plus we don't want a really long vent pipe extension.
We may have to change out water heaters for a 90% gas or an electric one. The water heater is in an unfinished part of the basement with access to an outside wall. Is there a minimum length that the PVC vent pipe has to be on a 90% gas water heater? Thanks for your input.
Thanks for the input z1700. Someone is coming to check out the rusted pipe tomorrow. I'll let you know what their suggested solution is. More than likely it's extending the pipe several feet higher above the roof which is definitely not our first choice.
The rusty pipe in the basement has all been replaced. The plumber connected the wrong type of pipe to the water heater and the vent pipe which the HVAC crew had installed. We now have the correct bends in the pipe and also the new section is double walled like the rest of it. Thanks for the help.

LU Online military student helped Haiti relief effortsJanuary 11, 2011 | By Paul McLinden
U.S. Navy Chaplain Michael Howard thrives on challenge. A year ago, the Liberty University Online student had one of his biggest challenges yet as he helped earthquake victims in Haiti recover from the Jan. 12, 2010, disaster.
As command chaplain aboard the USS Fort McHenry, Howard coordinated relief efforts for Operation Unified Response, which provided humanitarian aid, medical and dental treatment, and construction to residents of the struggling island nation.
Now back on board, Howard regularly holds worship services and small-group studies and provides pastoral counseling to servicemembers.
Despite his workload, Howard finished his Master of Arts in Discipleship Ministries through LU Online in 2010. He also earned his Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from LU Online in 2001.

Since he started as film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967, and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals, Roger Ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols, artists and unknowns -- some of them even before they became famous. There's hardly a major figure in the history of movies, from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st, that he hasn't encountered.
HOLLYWOOD - When he was asked to play the Sundance Kid in "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days," William Katt knew there was one thing he did not want to do. He did not want to see "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." He hadn't seen it when it came out in 1969, and he wasn't going to see it now: "I must have been doing something else in 1969. And now if I wanted to play Sundance, I wanted to be free to go at it without preconceptions, without the Robert Redford performance in my head."
There is a certain logic there. Actors in sequels might reasonably want to see the first picture, to match their performances to a style already established. But what do you do about a 'prequel' - Hollywood's word for a new genre of movies about what happened before the original movie began? In some complex metaphysical way, it is now up to the Redford performance to flow naturally out of "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days."
Katt is a very serious young man, 28 years old, complaining that he looks younger: "Most of the important leading ladies are in their 30s. I look too young to play opposite them. I can play younger roles, college or high school, but for how much longer? I'll just have to hold on." His famous high school role - "the first role I began to make a name with" - was as the curly-haired kid in "Carrie," the one who asked Sissy Spacek out for a date and was one of the many victims of Carrie's telekinetic rage. Their real-life relationship has turned out better; Spacek is his next-door neighbor.
Sitting in an office at 20th Century-Fox, sipping coffee, Katt analyzes his career like a professional athlete: "I like to spend as much time on the stage as possible. I don't do a regular TV series because I don't want to be overexposed. I try to cover myself, to have another movie under way before the last one comes out. I've been able to just scrape by, holding out for good parts instead of taking anything. I'm thinking about a career that should mean something 30 years from now. But I'm not too upset about a picture that flops; the important thing is to also do pictures that don't flop. Even Bogart was in a lot of crap everyone has forgotten by now."
Sometimes, though, the flops hurt. He remembers with regret a 1978 movie called "Big Wednesday," directed by John ("The Wind and the Lion") Milius and dealing with the relationships between three surfers. "It was a movie about the passage of time, and how each of the characters grew, or didn't grow," Katt says. "And it was about the feeling of the seasons and their relationship with the sea...a really sensitive, intelligent movie. But the studio didn't know how to sell it. So they decided to punch up the fight scenes, make them more violent, exploit the surfing angle - take the cheap approach. The result was that hardly anyone saw the movie."
His realism about the acting profession runs in the family. His mother is Barbara Hale, who played Della Street for 10 years on the Perry Mason series. And his father is Bill Williams (real name also William Katt) who was a star of the 1940s, went into real estate, and still turns up regularly on Police Woman. "Mom was a bobby soxer," their son explains, Dad was in B Westerns, and they were the ones who told me to think in terms of the long run - not just about next month. To try to age gracefully."
He ages hardly at all in "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days," which opens here in June at the Chicago. Aided by a mustache, he does look something like Robert Redford - not like a brother, perhaps, but like a cousin. His co-star, a former Chicagoan named Tom Berenger, looks more like Paul Newman, the original Butch (that was one of the qualities that made Berenger appealing to the luckless heroine of his last big film, "Looking for Mr. Goodbar").
The movie tells the story of the original meeting between Butch and the Kid, their attempts at domesticity and the respectable life, and their inexorable development into superstar outlaws.
"When I first read the screenplay," Katt remembers, "I turned it down. Richard Lester, the director, laid it on the line: 'It all boils down to whether you think you're good enough.' That got me in the ego. I thought I was. Maybe I was doubtful about stepping into a role created by Redford, or maybe I was just doubtful about doing the picture. Audiences can be leery of sequels; the studios make a hit, they see dollar signs, and they make a cheap rip-off. But this one wasn't cheap. It cost $8.5 million, and it looks like it does."
A lot of that is due to director Lester, an American who, left for England in the early 1960s, was part of the now long-ago "Swinging London" scene, directed "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help" with the Beatles, was for a time the hottest filmmaker in Great Britain.
"Butch and Sundance." was his first film here since the cult favorite "Petulia," shot in San Francisco in 1968 with Julie Christie.
The movie was co-produced by William Goldman, whose screenplay for the original "Butch" was purchased for $450,000 - a record sale up to that time, but more than worth it for 20th Century-Fox. Consider. The film won four Academy Awards, launched "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" as a standard, grossed something like $75 million, and made a superstar of Robert Redford.
William Katt no doubt hopes he will be struck by similar lightning. Most of his experience so far has been on the stage; for three weeks in May he starred at LA's Mark Taper Forum in "Ormer Locklan," a play by Marc Norman about a star aerial daredevil of the 1920s who was killed during a nighttime wingwalking stunt in his second movie. And now he's starring in the new film by French director Louis Malle, whose credits include "Murmur of the Heart" and last year's controversial "Pretty Baby."
That means Katt won't be in the country when "Butch and Sundance" opens; he'll be up in Canada, living with wolves. The new film is "Never Cry Wolf," based on a book by Farley Mowat about a biologist who goes north to study the family patterns of wolves and ends up involved in a political and ecological crisis. "It's a step up," Katt said. "In 'Butch and Sundance,' the only animals we worked with were horses and skunks. Anyone who's worked with skunks looks forward to wolves."

More 2015 ACM Awards Performers Announced
Wow! Brooks & Dunn have just been announced as performers for the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards on April 19.
Wow! Brooks & Dunn have just been announced as performers for the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards on April 19.
Some of the most influential artists in country music will be recognized with a special award during the upcoming 2014 ACM Awards in April.
The first round of 2015 ACM Awards performers have been announced.
While in Buffalo, N.Y., for a series of concerts last week, Garth Brooks stopped by Taste of Country sister station WYRK for a rousing game of "Would You Rather?"
The lineup has been announced for the nightly shows at LP Field during the annual CMA Music Fest in Nashville, to be held June 11-14.
Rolling Stone has put together a list of country music's best revenge songs.
Garth Brooks knows a thing or two about having a good time, so when the legend was in Pittsburgh over his birthday weekend, he celebrated turning a year older in style.
When Country Music superstar Garth Brooks joined Facebook he posted his first video, and it is, let's be honest, kinda creepy.
Garth Brooks reportedly nearly walked out on performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in 1993 -- and re-defined the rules for Super Bowl performers in the process.
I love going back in country music history and seeing what our favorite country stars were up to. Thanks to CMT.com, I learned that on this day (January 29th) in country music history in 1996, Garth Brooks refused to accept his American Music Award for Favorite Artist of the Year!

Droseras slacking off
bob123howApril 11, 2007
I was just examining Hubert and friends up close to see how things were progressing and I was dismayed to see the water in the trays doing a better job of collecting bugs than the plants themselves. (what a long sentence!) I know it'll take time, but come on...that's ridiculous.
What kind of bugs are they? I've noticed my sundews attract smaller bugs like fungal gnats. If a large bug does land on a sundew, like a housefly, sometimes they are strong enough to fight away from the plant.
Make sure your sundew is getting a lot of light. Sundews best produce their "bug-attracting scent" and dew in bright sunlight.
