Visit some of Holland's world famous museums (and some lesser well know gems) as you explore the cultural side of the country. Take things at your own pace with your private chauffeur driven vehicle as you see the various towns and cities such as Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague. Have a guide join you for as much or as little of your days exploring the sites. Visit museums such as Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum as well as the fantastic Hermitage, which hosts temporary exhibitions drawn from the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The Booijmans van Beuningen museum is one of the oldest museums in the Netherlands, and houses a unique collection of paintings, sculptures and everyday objects. The collection of prints and drawings is one of the best in the world. Kunsthal is a fascinating place to visit and presents culture in the widest sense of the word: old art, new art, design, photography - a must for anyone interested in the arts. The Kröller Müller museum, situated in the Hoge Veluwe National Park, where one can enjoy the wooded expanses, heaths and dunes. The museum houses a world famous collection of fine art, mainly from the 19th and 20th century.
You will be met at the airport in Amsterdam by your private guide and driver and brought on an orientation tour of this city of history, culture and inspiration before being dropped off at your hotel. Through a combination of your private transportation, a cruise as well as a guided walking tour, you'll become acquainted with the canals, bridges, and the beautiful 17th and 18th century mansions along the canals. Places of interest include The Royal Palace on Dam square, the historic buildings along the Amstel River, and the colorful flower market. A canal cruise is the best way to see Amsterdam (Holland's capital has 100 canals and 1000 bridges). Enjoy the views on a shared cruise in the company of your private guide, taking you through the old city where you will see elegant merchant's mansions, carillon-topped churches and warehouses dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. There are audio phones available in English so you can get some information about the various places of interest enroute. Your car and driver will meet up with you after your cruise and bring you to your accommodation where you will have time to settle in and freshen up before thinking of evening plans.
A welcome package with a city map, train tickets (if relevant), and any other touristic information that we deem you may find useful will be given to you by your driver upon arrival. Alternative arrangements will be made if you do not have a private transfer at the start of your itinerary.
A great way to get around the city of Amsterdam and to see its many sites is with a 24-, 48-, 72- or 96-hours GVB transport ticket which gives you unlimited travel throughout Amsterdam day and night by bus, tram and metro. Stamp your ticket once at the start of your first journey and you are set for the duration of the validation of your ticket.
Get the most out of your day by having the services of a professional English speaking guide today. (max 8hrs).
Visit the world renowned Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam today. Since 1885 people have been coming to see Holland's main collection of the Dutch Masters, such as Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Ruysdael and of course Rembrandt - in particular the world famous Night Watch. There is also a lovely silverware, furniture and glassware exhibition from all parts of The Netherlands as well as a rich collection of art from the Far East. Open daily: 9.00 – 18.00hr, Friday 9.00 – 20.30hr (address Jan Luykenstraat 1, 1071 CJ Amsterdam).
Vist the Willet-Holthuysen museum - the only fully-decorated Amsterdam canal house open daily to the public. The last occupants were Abraham Willet (1825-1888) and his wife Louisa Holthuysen (1824-1895). Mrs. Willet-Holthuysen left the house and its contents, including a large art collection, to the city of Amsterdam on the condition that it would be turned into a museum (includes entrance).
Depart for The Hague today in the company of a private driver and guide (max. 8hrs of service). Enjoy a city tour with wonderful tree lined lanes and many monuments of The Hague, residence of Queen Beatrix. See the Knight's Hall, Parliament buildings, the Peace Palace and Scheveningen Seaside resort.
From here, you'll continue onwards to Panorama Mesdag. This circular painting covers 1680m2 of canvas, is 14m high and has a circumference of 120m! It is one of the world's finest, and largest, surviving panoramas. Absorb the image - a sweeping view of the sea, a wide beach, the dunes of Holland, and the picturesque fishing village of Scheveningen.
The next place on today's agenda is Delft, one of the most charming towns in Holland. The market place, the 'new' Church and the wonderful historical town hall in combination with narrow canals, and little shopping streets make it really special. Delft Blue is the famous porcelain. Visit one of the potteries, where the art of painting the vases and plates, and the baking process is shown. There are many historical pieces of Delft Blue art on show as well as a shop where you can pick up a momento if you like.
At days end, you'll be returned to your accommodation in Amsterdam (includes entrance to Panorama Mesdag).
A visit to the Van Gogh Museum is a unique experience. Over 200 paintings and some 600 drawings by Vincent van Gogh are exhibited. In the new section of the museum there are interesting temporary exhibitions. At the permanent collection, the visitor has a chance to follow the development and the life of the artist. From the dark colored works at the beginning of his career until the bright violet tones of the last few years of his life (includes entrance).
Our Lord in the Attic is one of the oldest and most remarkable museums in Amsterdam. Behind the characteristic facade of the house by the canal lies a largely original 17th-century home and a completely hidden church. This hidden church in the attic was built during the Reformation, when Catholics were forbidden to hold public services. Today, the church and the house form the backdrop to a succession of striking exhibitions highlighting religion and contemporary art.
For 324 years, the Amstelhof building was a home for the elderly. In 2009, the entire Amstelhof became part of the Hermitage, covering more than 4,000 square metres. The Hermitage hosts temporary exhibitions drawn from the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Each exhibition is on view for around five months (includes entrance).
Leave Amsterdam for the day in the company of your private driver and guide (max. 8hrs of service). The destination this morning is the modern and cultural city of Rotterdam. See the city hall, the Coolsingel (shopping street) and the cubical houses. There is also a historical part of town called Delfshaven, built in a typical Dutch style. Rotterdam is also the largest harbor of the world. From here, continue on to the Booijmans van Beuningen museum - one of the oldest museums in the Netherlands. In 1849 the lawyer Boijmans left his art collection to the city of Rotterdam. With the acquisition of the Van Beuningen collection in 1958, the museum acquired the second part of its name. The museum houses a unique collection of paintings, sculptures and everyday objects. The collection of prints and drawings is one of the best in the world. The museum also organises a diverse programme of spectacular temporary exhibitions throughout the year. The last stop on today's agenda is the Kunsthal, which presents culture in the widest sense of the word: old art, new art, design, photography - from elitist to popular. The Kunsthal frequently experiments with themes which in many cases provide the first impulse for an exhibition. This approach has resulted in an exciting and varied exhibition repertoire, highlighting Impressionism, lingerie, Leonardo da Vinci, Blackfoot Indians, Jewels of the Orient, and Pop-art. More than 3300 square metres of exhibition space are available in the striking building designed by Rotterdam architect Rem Koolhaas - a work of art in its own right, making a visit to the Kunsthal well worth your while (includes entrances to all mentioned museums).
Depart to Veluwe (approx. 1 hr and 15 mins transfer from Amsterdam) in the company of your driver and guide (max. 4hrs). Visit the Kröller Müller museum - situated in the Hoge Veluwe National Park, where you can enjoy the wooded expanses, heaths and dunes. The museum houses a world famous collection of fine art, mainly from the 19th and 20th century. The main points of the museum are the extensive range works by Van Gogh and the sculpture garden. Please let your sales advisor know if you would like to have your driver and private vehicle available to you for the full day so you can spend more time in this area.
A great way to see the city and experience it in local fashion is to rent a bike. Amsterdam is one of the most cycle-friendly cities in the world and bicycles have sometimes more space on the road than their fellow pavement users. Expect to pay EUR12 per day for a bike rental. From the picturesque Jordaan district where streets are named after flowers to the artistic Westerpark where open-air concerts, theatre and exhibitions take place, Amsterdam abounds with walking opportunities that combine well with cultural heritage. Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District is in the very centre of the city, concentrated on two canals, Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal, and the interconnecting streets.
A transfer from your hotel to the airport with a private vehicle and driver is provided.
INK Hotel Amsterdam (formerly The Convent Hotel) owes its name to the rich history of the building. As the former home of the Dutch newspaper 'De Tijd', this building was a place where stories were conceived, written and ultimately brought to life in ink. INK Hotel Amsterdam is abohemian lifestyle hotel, where the traditional rules of hospitality are freely translated to the modern day, rewriting the definition of 'luxury' in INK. INK Hotel Amsterdam offers its guests the ultimate luxury: the luxury of the freedom of time. It is a five-minute walk from Central Station, Dam Square and the Royal Palace. The hotel building previously housed 2 monasteries from the 13th & 14th centuries, plus a printing house. All rooms and suites are different and have their own history and character.

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

NHL Preview from The Sports Network
Thursday, November 14th (All times Eastern)
San Jose Sharks (11-2-5) at Vancouver Canucks (11-7-2), 10 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks have seen plenty of each other over the first quarter of the season.
Following Thursday night's battle in Vancouver, they won't see each other again this season unless they meet in the playoffs.
The Sharks bested the Canucks twice during their 6-0 start to the season, recording a pair of 4-1 wins. The two opened the season against each other in San Jose before meeting seven days later in Vancouver.
The Canucks finally got some payback last Thursday with a 4-2 win over the Sharks in San Jose, snapping a five-game series losing streak. They have still lost four of the past five encounters at home.
San Jose's loss last week to Vancouver was the lone regulation setback of a five-game slide the club snapped on Tuesday in Calgary. The skid featured an overtime setback and three shootout defeats, but the Sharks managed a 3-2 OT triumph against the Flames.
It wasn't pretty as the Sharks blew a two-goal lead in the third period, but escaped with the win when Joe Thornton's shot from the right circle deflected off Brad Stuart and into the net at the 1:13 mark of the extra frame.
Thornton got his second assist of the game on the play and has six points over his last five games. Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist, while Logan Couture also scored and backup netminder Alex Stalock only had to make 11 saves for the win.
"I liked that we only gave up 13 shots but it's not good that we let them get back into the game in the third," said San Jose head coach Todd McLellan. "But if you look at the whole guy, I thought it was a good effort. It would have been nice to have a few more goals, but the defense was sound."
San Jose has now split the first two contests of a five-game road trip.
The Canucks, meanwhile, went 1-2-1 on a four-game road trip, with the lone victory coming in San Jose. They concluded the swing on Sunday with a 3-1 setback versus the Anaheim Ducks.
Tom Sestito scored and Eddie Lack had 20 saves.
It was a rough trip for Vancouver's top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler. The Sedin twins were held without a point in the final three contests after both had an assist in the first game, while Kesler had a goal and a helper in the four contests.
"It's been a struggle the past few games," Vancouver coach John Tortorella noted of his top line. "We know what they are as people. We know what they are as players. It's been a struggle the past two, three games here. They're going to bounce out of it and they're going to be the players that we know they are."
Vancouver will now begin a six-game homestand looking to improve on its 4-3-0 record as the host.
With both backups having started their respective clubs previous game, tonight's contest should feature San Jose's Antti Niemi and Roberto Luongo of Vancouver for the fourth time this season.
Niemi, who has started 16 of his club's 18 games this season, has posted a 2.48 goals against average in the three meetings in 2013-14 and is 8-7-2 with a 2.75 GAA in 17 lifetime matchups with the Canucks.
Luongo is 10-12-3 with a tie and 2.74 GAA in his career when facing the Sharks with a 3.02 GAA in the three games this season.
Thornton (1 goal, 3 assists) and Couture (4a) both have four points this season versus the Canucks, while Marleau has scored twice.
Daniel and Henrik Sedin have just one assist each over the previous three meetings, while Kesler is pointless.

The city of Czluchow in north-western Poland played host to the SuperFinals of the U17 Eastern Europe Girls Basketball League (EEGBL) and the U15 European Youth Basketball League (EYBL) at the weekend.
The eight U17 Girls teams that had qualified from the previous three stages of the league competed in the 2012 EEGBL SuperFinal.
Estonian side SC Audentes Tallinn defeated the Latvians of Kolibri Riga in the final, 67-62, to claim the trophy.
The Estonians were led by tournament MVP Kadri - Ann Lass, who finished with 24 points on 60 per cent shooting from the floor in the title game.
An impressive Kate Kreslina had 34 points for Riga in the losing effort.
Nine U15 Boys teams from Lithuania, Russia, Spain, Poland and the Ukraine reached the 2012 EYBL SuperFinal after a very long season that included three stages in three different countries each.
On Sunday, the Sarunas Marciulionis school prevailed in a spectacular first place game over the CSKA Moscow youth team, 88-74.
Five players on the Vilnius team scored in double digits in the final, with Jokubas Švambaris earning tournament MVP honours.
The Lithuanian player had 19 points and six rebounds in the title game for the champions, while Mikhail Frolov led the Russian side with 23 points.
The SuperFinal tournaments were organized by the regional Pomerania Basketball Federation.

Our company is hiring C++ developers and we have to estimate applicants skills based on resumes and (usually) code samples.
I find it problematic to decide whether I'm realistic in my assessments. For example, there was a guy who stated two software development jobs, 5 years of experience total. He claimed that he worked in a project for porting some operating system to new hardware and one of his duties was "fixing bugs in the operating system".
Then I open the sample and see the following:
char buffer[someSize];
strncpy( buffer, someString, someSize );
obviously this code will not null-terminate the destination once the string is of length equal to or greater than
someSize and the program might run into undefined behavior.
Now my thought goes like this: "that guy claims he fixed bugs in the operating system code and now he can't properly use a simplest C runtime function... WTF???" and this motivates me to write a feedback to our HR that he can only qualify for a position right above the entry level.
What bothers me I can't get rid of a feeling that I'm being too harsh and demanding.
How can I decide if my expectations are realistic or not in such situations?

Several Wesco athletes are threats to win state shot put title
Arlington's Dan Boyden, Lake Stevens' Carey Campbell, Lynnwood's Andrew Basham and E-W's Wyatt Meyring all ranked in the top 6 in state

Genna Martin / The Herald
Lynnwood's Andrew Basham competes in the shot put finals during the District 1 4A track and field championships on May 8.
A week later, Boyden had to settle for third in the same event behind two Wesco competitors, Lynnwood's Andrew Basham and Lake Stevens' Carey Campbell, at the Wesco/Kingco 4A Bi-District championships.
Welcome to the life of a Wesco shot putter in 2013.
When the boys shot put is contested this afternoon on the first day of the Class 4A state meet, there's a very real chance a Wesco thrower will win. Which thrower that is, however, is anybody's guess.
Cody O'Connell of Wenatchee High School has the state's top mark in the event at 62 feet, 1-inch, but the next three on the 4A list are Campbell (58-73/4), Boyden (58-51/2) and Basham (57-10). Not far behind, ranking sixth at the 4A level, is Edmonds-Woodway's Wyatt Meyring, who has topped out this year at 56-6. Edmonds-Woodway's Marco Hernandez also qualified for state, making it a Wesco sweep at the Bi-District meet.
And yes, if O'Connell, a WSU football recruit who checks in at 6-foot-8, 350 pounds, throws to his potential, he'll be tough to beat. However, if he's even a little off of his game, any number of Wesco throwers could take the title.
"It's incredible how good it is," Boyden said. "I've been following track since I was a little kid and helping out at track meets, and I've never heard of a league being so good in one event."
How today's competition will play out is a mystery, but what is evident when you talk to any of the area's top throwers is that none of them would be where they are without the competition provided by the others.
"The competition definitely pushes us a lot," Meyring said. "There's a lot of rivalry with it, too. I've been up against these guys for three years now, so it's almost like we're family, but we're still big competitors in the shot put."
The longtime friendly rivals
When Lake Stevens coach Jeff Page first saw Campbell throw, he knew he had something special to work with. But then he took a look at what was going on at Arlington, where Boyden was also a freshman.
"When Carey was a freshman, we thought, 'Oh man, we've got this great freshman shot putter,'" Page said. "And then we looked at the results and said, 'Oh, Arlington's got one, too.'"
While Meyring was a bit of a late bloomer, and Basham was competing at the 3A level before this year, Boyden and Campbell had been battling in the shot put for four years. Boyden got the better of Campbell for most of their first two years, then Campbell started catching up, and now the competition is too close to call on any given day.
"All throughout high school, me and him have had a competition," said Campbell, who finished third at state last year, making him the top non-senior finisher. "When we were freshman, other people would beat us, but I'd always try to beat him and he'd always try to beat me. It has gone in cycles."
Through years of competition, Campbell and Boyden have become friends and they will be teammates on the track team at the University of Washington next year. However, once today's meet starts, both agree the desire to win takes over, and if either wins a state title, he'll owe at least some of the credit to the other one.
"It's made me way better," said Boyden, who is also one of the state's top discus throwers. "There's no way I'd be a 58-foot shot putter without him. Without him, there wouldn't be as much of a need to get better. It's always in the back of my mind that I have to get better to beat him next week."
The champ moves up
At this time a year ago, Basham was on his way to a state title at the Class 3A meet. This year he knows another title will be much harder to come by after the Royals' jump up in classification.
But that suits Basham, a UW football recruit, just fine. Even if it means a lesser medal at state, Basham would prefer to face a higher level of competition in his senior season.
"It's been great stepping up," he said. "It's better. I don't think I would have been pushed much in 3A, but I'm getting pushed a lot in 4A."
That does not, however, mean Basham doesn't have his eye on a title. His top mark this year trails O'Connell, Campbell and Boyden, but Basham beat Campbell and Boyden at their most recent meet. Basham and his coach both note he's thrown more than 60 feet in practice and in meet warmups. He also has taken on a lighter workload than a lot of his fellow throwers this year in order to be fresh this week.
"Me and Andrew's goal this whole year was to win state, so I made the decision not to throw him in every meet, because I wanted him to be at his best at state," Lynnwood throws coach Mike Davis said. "We both don't feel like he's had his best throw yet. He's been throwing over 60 in practice, but we haven't translated that into a meet. Sometimes that's the tough part."
The underdog
A year ago, Meyring maxed out at 47-01/2 in the shot put. So, it's pretty remarkable that the Edmonds-Woodway senior is now among the state's best. He knows it will take a very good day to top his fellow Wesco throwers, but he isn't about to give up without a fight.
"When I go against them, I usually think, 'I've had throws like they've had before,'" Meyring said. "... I almost upset Carey Campbell last week, so if I have a good day and they're not quite on their game, I can get them. I definitely have the potential to do it. I've worked so hard this season. Time will tell."
If there's a common theme that explains Meyring's leap forward this season and the success of all of these Wesco throwers, it's the competition they have provided each other over the years.
"When you know you have guys at that level in your own league, that's huge, because you don't want to go out there and have them stomp all over you," Edmonds-Woodway coach Rick Fillman said. "That was a big motivator. (Meyring) would want to do well anyway, he'd work hard anyways -- state was always his goal. But knowing that he's got people like that in his own league, it's a huge, huge motivator to go out, work hard and say, 'you know what? I can do that, too.'"

Schoolboy Derby previews Saturday's three major clashes between Paarl Gym and Paul Roos, Affies and Grey Bloem and Glenwood and Kearsney.
We usually have one Schoolboy Derby feature match every weekend, but we are forced to have three on this occasion. The Western Cape, KZN and the schools from up north all have big games that headline this Saturday's schoolboy action.
Down in Paarl, Gimmies will host Paul Roos in an epic Boland derby. The two schools have impressed on the national scene this year, with Gimmies winning seven of their eight fixtures and Paul Roos claiming seven wins and one draw from their 10 games.
Gimmies will be the more confident side as they come off two big wins over Tygerberg (75-3) and Bishops (57-3). Paul Roos suffered their two defeats to Grey PE (23-19) and Tygerberg (22-20) recently, but 1st XV head coach Thys Stoltz is confident his side can bounce back.
'It was one of those disappointing days against Tygerberg, when everything just didn't go our way,' Stoltz told Schoolboy Derby. 'We lost six of our first-choice players to injury, including our flyhalf and four forwards, and the boys just weren't committed enough. We could've won that game, but we let ourselves down.
'We now head into one of our toughest fixtures against Paarl Gym, who are one of the top schools in the country this year. We only have two players missing from our run-on XV [centre Daniel du Plessis and lock Jan Uys], so we have some of our top guys back.
'It should be an exciting match. Gimmies have a well-balanced side, who are dangerous from up front and out wide. We like to play an entertaining brand of rugby, but tend to lose cohesion once players focus on individual efforts. If we can put together a strong team performance, we can return to winning ways.'
The clash will be broadcast on SS5 at 11:50.
In Pretoria, Grey Bloem make the trip across to Pretoria to take on Affies.
Despite suffering their first defeat in three years against Paarl Gym at the Kearsney Easter Festival, the boys from Bloemfontein boast an impressive 2012 record (won nine of their 10 games). They also have the better record against Affies over the years as the two schools have duelled on 34 occasions since 1953.
Grey Bloem have won 26 times and Affies have only achieved three victories. There have been five draws.
However, Grey Bloem 1st XV head coach Ingo Machts predicts a close encounter this year.
'Affies have a massive pack and backs who can punish you,' said Machts. 'This will be a big challenge for us. We had a bit of a tough start, but the team has built a great deal of confidence since our loss to Paarl Gym. We tried a specific game plan at the start of the year, but we lost too much ball at the breakdown. After making specific tactical changes, we are winning the contests at the tackle points.'
The match will be broadcast on SS1 at 14:50.
In Durban, the big KZN derby will be played between Glenwood and Kearsney.
The Green Machine has had an ordinary season so far, with eight wins, four losses and one draw from their 13 fixtures. Glenwood 1st XV head coach Sean Erasmus believes his charges haven't reached their full potential yet, but can start being more consistent with the Kearsney scalp.
'They have some big ball carriers among their forwards and their centre Sandile Kubeka is a quality player. So we need to be defensively strong,' said Erasmus. 'On attack, we need to be clinical and take our chances. Expect a big battle between the forwards.'
This game will kick off at 14:20.

Women's Soccer Clinches Conference Tournament Berth with 1-0 Shutout at Limestone
October 20, 2009
Story Courtesy of Limestone Sports Information
GAFFNEY, S.C. The Limestone College womens soccer team saw its six-game win streak come to an end with a 1-0 loss to Pfeiffer University on Tuesday afternoon at Saints Field. Limestone falls to 5-2 in Conference Carolinas play (6-8 overall) as the Falcons improve to 6-1-2 in the league (9-3-3 overall), moving their unbeaten streak to eight matches, winning their last six outright. The Pfeiffer win clinches a playoff spot in the Conference Carolinas tournament which is two weeks away.
After a scoreless first half, Pfeiffer notched the game-winning goal in the 69th minute as Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, Mich.) scored un assisted. Lady Saint Brittany Clark (York, S.C.) made five saves during the match while the Falcons Suzie Hinman (Idaho Falls, Idaho) posted three.
Pfeiffer held the 14-7 advantage on shots and had 6 corner kicks to Limestones zero. Tuesday marked the second-straight shutout for the Lady Falcons having not allowed a goal in 235 minutes of play.
Pfeiffer returns home on Thursday in a non-conference battle with Newberry at 4:00 p.m.

Onions are an excellent addition to many dishes, but cutting them can be frustrating when they make you "cry" all the time.
Does anyone know any tips or tricks to help minimise the tears when chopping onions?
Onions are an excellent addition to many dishes, but cutting them can be frustrating when they make you "cry" all the time.
Does anyone know any tips or tricks to help minimise the tears when chopping onions?
Buy the kind of onions that don't make you cry. Seriously. I think several regular onion kinds in US supermarkets (don't know if that's where you are though) are somehow mutated or genetically engineered to reduce the impact. I often eat and cut onions and when I buy this kind, I never cry when cutting it. But I recently bought organic onion and the difference is really noticeable and profound.
When I worked at subway we had to cut all kinds of onions. This is what worked for us:
Wet a paper towel, fold it (hot dog style), and place it under your eyes and over your nose. You have to make sure you don't lean down too much or the towel obviously falls off. Also, it helps to have a large nose.
Then, if we either neglected to do that, or we simply had to cut too many of them, stepping inside the walk in freezer for just 30 seconds kind of re-sets your tears and buys you another 5 minutes or so of tear free cutting.
Obviously most people don't have a walk in freezer, but i imagine sticking your face in a normal one will work equally as well.
Sit down
I simply drag a chair over to the table and sit on it. I cut the onions on the table, but now my face is not directly above it. All the gases go vertically to the ceiling without getting in contact with the eyes.
My mother suffers terribly when chopping onions. Her solution is to chop them outdoors. It happens that there's a waist-height coal scuttle a couple of paces from the kitchen door, so she does it on that.
A simple hack is to stick plastic wrap over your eyes. It helps if you have glasses. The poor man's version of goggles.
My grandmother had be hold a slice of bread in mouth to form a barrioer between my eyes and the onion fumes.
It worked quite well, and I got to eat the bread afterwards.
I've had success with cutting onions near running water.
Wet hands works best for me, just rince your hands under a small stream of water without drying them and start choping.
Sulfurous gas became sulfuric acid when in contact with water, so with your eyes... simple cut the onion within water and the sulfuric acid will not be volatile, saving your eyes !
For some reason, I find that onions that have been refrigerated (either in one of those plastic "onion keeper" things, or just in a baggie or whatever) don't make me cry. :)
Someone showed me this great trick a while back.
You'll see a milky liquid almost squirt out of the onion into the water. The milky liquid seems to contain most of the caustic substance. I think it mellows the taste a bit too.
I couldn't tell you the scientific reason behind this or if it affects the flavor at all (i haven't noticed that is does), but I find that if I freeze an onion before I chop it up, It doesn't make my eyes water.
Use white onions. Yellow onions make me tear up every time, but white onions never do. Go figure.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
Why would any body do that to these puppies who love you unconditionally. I think you should lock him away with no food, no water and see how he likes being starved and left dehydrated. I have a puppy and I look at that face that is so full of love and could never fathom doing anything to break his heart. Thank god they were found and are thriving. Thank god for these organizations that give all animals a fighting chance, you are all angels.
I agree with you and your idea. Just like crimes against people it should depend on the severity of the crime. All crimes are horrible and sometimes the people that commit crimes have mental disorders like being bipolar or being a sociopath/pyschopath. These type of things can't be fixed by jail time. These things are above jail and a fine. Which is so sad.
The problem is, people who abandon animals to starve don't get punished enough! A slap on the wrist, a few hundred dollars in fines. Make them work at a shelter for 5 years. Make them pay $5,000 at $1,000 per year. And if they miss one day at the shelter or one payment, jail time!
I truly believe that someone who doesn't love animals is something wrong with them. One doesn't have to adopt or have one but to mistreat them is a psychotic behaviour. The law has to change!!!!
They look so much better!!! God Bless the people who saved these precious dogs!!!
I agree there should be far harsher punishments. If it was a human baby left behind the parents would be jailed and scorned. These are beautiful living souls and I hope they find wonderful forever families.
I, too, do NOT understand how anyone could do this!!! If you can't keep a pet, for whatever reason, bring the pet to a shelter!!!! This guy should get the two years, and the fine, and NEVER be allowed to adopted or purchase a pet EVER AGAIN!!!! AND, while in prison, be starved for as long as those poor puppies were starved!!! An eye for an eye!
Your animal, no matter what it is, depends on us for everything they need to live. I hope God never deals this man what he deserves for leaving these pups to DIE.... Shame on you Jerome...you should hang your head in shame and ask the devine powers that be to "Forgive You".
I can't believe that someone can be that heartless. Put him back in his apartment with no food or water, then make him work at a animal shelter. I just don't understand how you could harm such a sweet animal.
10 minutes in a locked room with a phone book and a roll of dimes.

Here are pics of my theater. I haven't done much to it since we moved in other than set it up and tweak the sound. I still need to mount my projector on the ceiling, but I have been putting this off in the hopes of getting a newer higher resolution projector, and hopefully something that is a little quieter. Everything needs a darker coat of paint, and I need to get my X-10 dimmer switches purchased and installed. The addition of the Hunter Douglas blinds gave me the need light control for the projector.

haha we have the same M&Ms thing and the same movie stars picture. the two movie posters we have are Saving Private Ryan and Gladiator.
how much and how big are those seats? where did you get them? our problem is our media room is too small for the size of screen we have. there are only two goods seats in the room (the back two). we're trying to find a way to re-construct the room but we're having problems with seating and the such.
nice setup, either way. [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]

I've read and heard that you can easily put the sub behind the TV, as it's non-directional. If you scroll up to my picture (page 2), should I do that, to get it out of sight?

Yes, you can in theory. In practice, it still depends on your room. You should experiment with it and see if it sounds good in your listening position.
there are some systems that really put my once proud set up to shame. nice work guys.
sometimes I miss my corrado...
Heres mine.....wont compare with Phrosts.....but ah well! I love it!

Picked up the seating from SoundWorld in Appleton, WI [IMG]http://**********************/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG] I'm not sure on the sizing
I am impressed with the setups. Some nice stuff there. I am a smaller screen kind of guy - I couldn't stand to watch a 60-inch screen from 8 feet away, although it must be impressive!
It doesn't look impressive in pictures...but in a very small 2 bedroom apartment I have:
Hitachi 50V500 50" LCD RPTV
Onkyo TX-SR601
5x NHT SuperOnes
Velodyne CHT-8 sub
Motorola 6100 series HD cable box
Home Theater Mac
The Home Theater Mac is the best part. Hooked to the TV via DVI it does DVD upscaling as well as playing video I download from the Internet. Since I'm getting LOTR: ROTK EE for Xmas my New Years Eve party will be watching it with a bunch of friends. Hope everyone else is gone - last time I cranked it I got a noise complaint.

lol no. Nothing to do with them.
Just got all of the audio equipment in yesterday. Man it's killing em to wait!!!
You ordered Paradign stuff and got it delivered? Did you go through a dealer?
Gentlemen, you had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.
Yes. Definitive Audio in Bellevue WA. They were out of room in their wharehouse and had to have it dropped off at my place. I was having them hold it until we move into our new house and could install everything. Now I get to be tempted by it at our rental until we move however.
If you like Paradigm, also look into Energy. The place I bought my stuff liked from sold me Energy speakers, but suggested a Paradigm sub. I really like what I bought.
The Energy web site lists dealers in CT.
And, nice to see another Rotel on here.
Edit: Also, if you're in CT and want to see/hear our stuff, IM me.

Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
These are some of the sickest people on this earth, the animal abusers. And to fight dogs in the name of entertainment? I guess you can't fix stupid or ignorant. You probably also can't give heartless S.O.B.'s a heart! Give them "an eye for an eye" type punishment!
Eliminating dog fighting may bring down the numbers of people breeding the Pitbull. l ive in a dogfighting area. I know how many are out there! They run these streets. Stiffen ALL animal abuse laws/penalties.
Why do we even need to ask our "officials" in Congress to do what is not only humane, but should have been done over 100 years ago!?
Instead of making laws tuffer for taking your kids to dog fights why in the hell do they let the dog fighting go on..????
It is inconceivable that someone would gain pleasure, or find intertaining this kind of cruel and inhumane torture of innocent animals. The research shows that serial killers get started by torturing animals. It isn't a sport! It is sick and twisted depravity. There needs to be a clear message to anyone causing such harm....you will go to prison, and you won't come out! And that law needs to be enforced to the letter, no exceptions!
It is a terrible crime and any person involved should be in prison and pay heavy fines for their actions. Animals have feelings and are very smart. They can do things humans cannot, they cannot speak however and live to make their moms and dads happy. Every animal including chikens should be stopped. How Michael Vick is back in the NFL and making money playing a game is a crime as well. He should still be in prison with the size of his gaming circle. STOP IT NOW!
I have loved and been loved by four wonderful pitbulls. They were the gentliest, sweetest, most loyal buddies anyone could imagine. The idea of making these magnificant beasts fight each other is beyond evil. They just want to be with you, to lean on you, to try and give you kisses and to protect you. The punishment for making these marvelous animal fight should fit the crime. I would love to see years in jail and huge fines with the fines used to rehabilitate the animals that were treated so badly. Please see that something is done and done now.
What is wrong with people anyway? There should never even have been dog fighting in this world to start with. Humans can be so sick and deranged when it comes to animals. They deserve respect and protection. They should never be used for profit or cruel entertainment. Dog fighters and spectators need to be punished and beaten severely!!! Stop all dog fighting NOW!!
What is this debate?? Animal fighting needs to be outlawed!! Are we waiting for attendance to trickle down to stop it. That will never happen!!! It needs to be outlawed.

I've been playing for about 6 months now and have actually gotten pretty good for the short time I've been playing and the few discs that I have. I did not think my first ace would come so soon but about a month ago I started getting close on a few holes and then finally it happened.
I was playing with a friend who it was his first time playing disc golf and we got to the 16th hole at Iroquois. We were actually waiting for a group in front to finish the hole and my friend noticed all the names on the post and asked why. I told him how those were aces and that I was tryin to get my name on a post one day. I had thrown it left on this hole atleast the last 10 times I had played and I wanted to make sure I didn't do that this time so I made sure to throw it right. It barely missed a branch on the right and came back nicely to the left and I yelled "GO IN" and it banged the chains. I was more in shock then I was excited.
Come to find out I actually hit the chains so hard that I now have about a 2 inch crack in my Innova Whippet

Internal Control Weaknesses and Information Uncertainty
2008, Accounting Review
Daniel Beneish, Mary Billings, Leslie Hodder
We analyze a sample of 330 firms making unaudited disclosures required by Section 302 and 383 firms making audited disclosures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We find that Section 302 disclosures are associated with negative announcement abnormal returns of -1.8 percent, and that firms experience an abnormal increase in equity cost of capital of 68 basis points. We conclude that Section 302 disclosures are informative and point to lower credibility of disclosing firms' financial reporting. In contrast, we find that Section 404 disclosures have no noticeable impact on stock prices or firms' cost of capital. Further, we find that auditor quality attenuates the negative response to Section 302 disclosures and that accelerated filers - larger firms required to file under Section 404 - have significantly less negative returns (-1.10 percent) than non-accelerated filers (-4.22 percent). The findings have implications for the debate about whether to implement a scaled securities regulation system for smaller public companies: material weakness disclosures are more informative for smaller firms that likely have higher pre-disclosure information uncertainty.

Comments about Sugino XD600 Triple Cranksets:
I've been riding as an adult since 1972 and I've always preferred Sugino cranksets ever since then. I've had Sugino on all of my road and mountain bikes. This 26-36-46 combination is the best for road riding for the every day cyclist who lives in hilly terrain or carries cargo on trips. I think Sugino is still the best looking crankset and I prefer the square taper.

Comments about Sugino XD600 Triple Cranksets:
So far so good. I wish someone would come out with a 155. If you are vertically impaired shorter cranks are the way to go. So far 165 is the shortest commercial crank and Sugino does it well.

Diabetes Dateline
Winter 2011
Findings from Two Studies on Diabetic Eye Disease Treatment Released
ACCORD Eye Study Finds Two Therapies May Slow Progression of Diabetic Eye Disease
A photo of an eye with diabetic macular edema.
Photo courtesy of the National Eye Institute,
National Institutes of Health.A clinical trial of people with type 2 diabetes showed that intensively controlling blood glucose to near-normal levels reduced progression of diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of vision loss in working-age Americans. Adding a fibrate drug to statin therapy for control of blood lipids also reduced disease progression. These results come from the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) Eye Study, a subgroup study of the ACCORD clinical trial supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI). The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is the primary sponsor of ACCORD.
ACCORD compared the effect of intensive control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids with standard, less-intensive treatments on the risk of major cardiovascular disease events in more than 10,000 adults with established type 2 diabetes. While the earlier ACCORD finding of increased mortality risk outweighed the benefits of near-normal control in the group studied, the ACCORD Eye Study and other recent ACCORD findings suggest there may be benefits to controlling blood glucose to targets lower than currently recommended in patients in whom such control can be achieved safely—for example, in people recently diagnosed with diabetes.
"The ACCORD Eye Study clearly indicates that intensive glycemic control and fibrate treatment added to statin therapy separately reduce the progression of diabetic retinopathy," said Emily Chew, M.D., chair of the Eye Study and chief of the Clinical Trials Branch of the Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications at the NEI.
The study findings were published in the July 15, 2010, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. More information about the ACCORD Eye Study can be found at www.nei.nih.gov/news/pressreleases/062910.asp.
Combination of Ranibizumab and Laser Therapy Proves Effective in Treating Diabetic Macular Edema
Researchers have found that the drug ranibizumab (Lucentis), combined with the current standard treatment of laser therapy, is more effective than laser therapy alone in treating diabetic macular edema (DME), a major complication of diabetes that can result in vision loss. DME occurs when fluid from damaged blood vessels in the eye cause swelling of the macula, part of the retina. Ranibizumab blocks the leakage of fluid from the blood vessels. Results of this study were published in the June 2010 issue of Ophthalmology.
This study provides the first definitive proof that a combined treatment and follow-up strategy could halt and reverse diabetic eye disease. "This comparative-effectiveness study demonstrated that a new treatment can protect and, in many cases, improve the vision of people with diabetic macular edema," said Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D., director of the NEI.
The 2-year study focused on the effectiveness of three DME treatments: laser treatment alone; ranibizumab plus laser treatment; and the steroid drug triamcinolone (Trivaris) plus laser treatment. Specifically, the researchers found that ranibizumab combined with laser treatment improved vision significantly, compared with laser treatment alone.
The multicenter clinical trial was conducted by the NEI and the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network (DRCR.net). DRCR.net researchers will continue to monitor the study participants for at least 3 years to gather more data about the safety and effectiveness of the treatments.
For more information about this study, see www.nih.gov/researchmatters/may2010/ 05102010eye.htm or visit www.drcr.net.

Two buzzwords at the Mobile Commerce Forum were Near Field Communications and augmented reality.
Two buzzwords at the first Internet Retailer Mobile Commerce Forum held this week in Chicago have been Near Field Communications and augmented reality. Although several speakers uttered the phrases, they were mainly mentioned in passing, with little description of what the technologies are and how they relate or will relate to mobile.
So, let's start with a little vocabulary lesson.
NFC, which stands for Near Field Communication, is a technology that enables phones (or other items, such as credit cards) to interact with objects—such as posters and payment terminals—from just a few feet away.
Augmented reality uses the capabilities of a mobile phone to enhance a presentation, such as using the camera to identify a consumer's location and then sending her a coupon to a nearby store.
My experience (and granted I didn't sit in every session) was that most of the time the two technologies were mentioned in the ever-popular "conclusion slide," as showing promise for the future. But I never heard examples of either technology being used in the U.S. today for mobile marketing or commerce.
I do know that eBay is using a rudimentary version of augmented reality in one of its mobile apps that enables shoppers to place articles of clothing atop pictures of themselves on their mobile phones. But that's about all I've got.
NFC on the other hand, I have a little more experience with. It was favorite term in the space I covered at my first job out of school, writing about card-based payments, ATMs and banking for a Chicago-based business publication. Bigger in Japan and Europe, the technology is moderately used there for making payments with a mobile device by tapping or waving the phone in front of a properly equipped terminal. Although it's been a topic of conversation for years among mobile and payment techies here, the trend has yet to catch on much in the States.
So, what do these two technologies mean for mobile? I've got a lot buzz here and little to back it up. Do you readers have any examples of either technology being used today in the U.S. for mobile? Do any of you still believe NFC has a future in U.S. mobile payments despite the technology being around for years with little adoption? Do you agree with many of our Mobile Commerce Forum speakers that both these technologies will play a big role in the future of mobile commerce? If so, how? Feel free to share your vivid, compelling examples in the comment box below.

Six School Records Fall in Men and Women's Swimming's Annual Trip to the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Meet in Charlotte
February 19, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University men and women's swim teams both wrapped up the 2012 Bluegrass Mountain Conference meet held at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center in 11th place. Six school-records fell in two different sessions with a pair of NCAA B-Cut times achieved as well.
School records began to fall on Thursday night as both the men and women's 200 freestyle relay teams shattered the old marks. The men followed that up with a school-best performance in the 400 medley relay while Elijah Bohon broke the first of his two records of the weekend in the 100 backstroke. Thursday also saw Andrew Corley swim a top NCAA B-Cut time in the 200 individual medley.
In Saturday's final session, Bohon again set a new mark in the men's 200 backstroke while also achieving a NCAA B-Cut. The women broke the school's final record in the 400 freestyle.
A complete list of results by day and session can be found below.
Wednesday Prelims 1
**School Records Broken: 200 Freestyle Relays (Men & Women), 400 Medley Relay (Men), Men's 100 Backstroke (Elijah Bohon), NCAA B-Cut 200 IM (Andrew Corley)

Tusculum Puts Up Pair of Five-Run Frames Rolling to 15-6 Win over Baseball
February 11, 2012
ASHEBORO, N.C. Catapulted by a two-out, five-run barrage in the top of the fifth and grand slam in the sixth, Tusculum College was able to remain perfect on the young season cruising to a 15-6 victory over Pfeiffer University in day two of the 2012 Copperheads Baseball Tournament at McCrary Park. The Pioneers advance to 6-0 on the year while the Falcons drop to 3-4.
Tusculum struck first in the second as an Aaron Guinn (Norris, TN) single, Nate Reid (Bourbonnais, IL) double and groundout to third by Tripper Crisson (Lincolnton, NC) put the visitors up 1-0. Reid would soon plate on the next groundball to short by Lukas Graves (St. Joseph, IL) to put the Pioneers up two.
Pfeiffer quickly got one of those runs back in the home half of the second as Aarin Sharpe (Winterville, NC) scored Johnny Brown, Jr. (Greensboro, NC) with his groundout to short. Brown reached on an infield single to short and scampered to third on Preston Lyons (Gastonia, NC) single to right-center.
Sharpe tied it for the Falcons in the fourth on a two-out RBI-single to right-center that scored Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC). Kevin Price would put the hosts up one at 3-2 with a single to right, knocked down by the gusty breeze, to score Justin Harris (Albany, NY). Harris would reach on the first error of the day committed by either side to help set up the pair of runs.
Tusculum would bounce back just a half inning later scoring five to take a 7-3 lead. Guinn would keep the inning alive with a single to left before Reid did his part by drawing a walk before Crisson drove both in with his two-bagger to right-center. Graves would follow by singling home Crisson while Alexi Colon (Vineland, NJ) would bring in Graves. Cade Stallings (Knoxville, TN) would end the scoring frame by driving home Colon with his base knock to right.
Graves would continue his stellar afternoon with a grand slam in the top of the sixth with a liner over the wall in right-center. The final run of the day for the Falcons would come on a RBI groundout by Harris in the seventh. Tusculum would add three more in the ninth to cap their big afternoon while the Falcons added two in the bottom.
Pfeiffer will wrap up its tournament weekend on Sunday afternoon taking on league foe Barton in a non-conference tilt at 3:30 p.m.
