This application note by Dionex reports on the performance of nano LC columns operating at ultrahigh pressure. The effects of column parameters (particle size and column length) and LC conditions (gradient time, flow rate, column temperature) were investigated with reversed-phase (RP) gradient nano LC. Optimising LC-MS/MS separation allows for easy application in the final step in proteomic workflows.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
Talk to Al Jazeera | 17 Oct 2011 07:57 GMT | Bahrain
Around the world, young people in particular mobilise, but what exactly do they want? From Tunis to Bahrain to Wall Street, they know how to use social media to come together, but beyond all that, some say there are no coherent ideas. But there is a deep-seated unsatisfied yearning to speak plainly and freely about the basic issues: What is freedom? What is right? And what is wrong?
Talk to Al Jazeera meets Michael Sandel, a teacher and professor of political philosophy at Harvard University whose online and personal lectures about justice have turned him into an international phenomenon. He attempts to encourage people to think critically, to reflect seriously on moral and political convictions.
He speaks to Al Jazeera's Tony Harris about the meaning of justice, critical thinking and conceptions of justice in different societies. Sandel discusses the Wall Street protests, the meaning of the Arab spring, the widening wealth gap and the impact of 9/11.
"The Arab spring is one of the most important political developments of our lifetimes. I think we will look back decades from now and see it as such. We don't know how these revolutions will play out, one country to the next, but what we do know is that this is a historical moment... I think it should be an inspiration to those of us in established democracies to try to embody more fully the ideals of dignity and justice and above all of citizenship... The future is unpredictable, but I think that what will be remembered historically, whatever false starts there may be - and there may be many false starts - I think that the Arab world is better off, and the world as a whole is better off as a result of the Arab spring." Michael Sandel

Full detailed profile on Michael "Sonny" Corinthos Played by Maurice Benard on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Maurice Benard (ABC)
Birthday: 1963-03-01
Dante starts banging on Silas' door, calling for Morgan and Kiki. Sonny asks her to hide the baby. He and Carly bicker about this until he answers the door. The cop gets inside and starts questioning Morgan and Kiki about Avery. He wants to look around. Sonny asks for a warrant. The cop doesn't have one, but he arrests Morgan and Kiki for drugging Michael. "This is such bull," Morgan whines as he's cuffed. His brother advises him to stay silent. "In the real world, you can't whine your way out of the consequences," he adds. Carly stutters as the duo are dragged out. Sonny explains he's calling his pilot to take the baby out of the country. Carly thinks they need to take care of Morgan first. The mobster comes up with an idea. It makes her uncomfortable.
In his office at ELQ, Michael kisses Sabrina. She pulls away and stutters that they shouldn't. He insists his feelings are real. Ned barges in and Sabrina runs away. Michael fills Ned in about being drugged. Sabrina figured it all out. "No wonder you were kissing her," says Ned. He sheepishly tells him about giving his shares to Franco. That doesn't go over well. Before Ned can explain, Liv calls and he has to run off. Later, Rosalie arrives. Michael sends her out as Sonny and Carly arrive. She starts apologizing to her son. Sonny announces that he has the baby. His people found her. He's vague and offers to have the baby brought back safe and sound if he drops the charges against his brother and Kiki. Michael agrees if Sonny drops his bid for custody. Sonny is reluctant. Carly badgers him. The gangster agrees.
After Sonny has called to drop his complaint, Carly returns to ELQ with Avery and hands her to Michael. He promises the baby she won't be taken away again.
Nina is in her hotel room reading about the kidnapping when Nathan drops by. They discuss the case and he admits that she's a suspect. Obrecht gave him evidence. She tells him about his mom implying that she has more dark secrets. The cop shows her the hospital's surveillance footage and they talk through what happened. Nina admits that she looked in on Avery but then left. Nathan says the surveillance system was shut down right when she was outside of the baby's room. He suggests she get an attorney but claims he believes she is innocent. Later, Franco arrives and starts searching through Nina's purse. She catches him doing it. Downstairs, Sonny drops by the restaurant and informs Carly that Kiki and Morgan drugged Michael. She gets distraught. "Morgan! Wait until I get my hands on him," she says. She storms out and Sonny runs after her as Lulu and Valerie arrive. They take a table and gossip. As Val talks about how much Sonny and Dante look alike, Lulu plasters on a grin. They chat about the Ball and how the Haunted Starlets need a sixth dancer. Val offers to do it. She's been dancing for years and she's a quick learner. Lulu makes excuses. "You don't want me," Val surmises. That's awkward. Lulu backtracks and asks her to take part in the number. Valerie guesses she isn't comfortable having her around and wonders if she should just leave. Her cousin won't hear of it and hypes the Ball.
Morgan and Kiki head to Silas'. They're startled to find Avery sitting in the crib. She changes the kid's diaper and they try to figure out what happened. His parents barge in. Sonny grabs the baby from Kiki's arms. Morgan insists they didn't take her. Carly lectures them. Her son says she would do the same thing he did. That makes her more irate. Kiki suggests they call the cops so the real kidnapper can be found. Morgan doesn't want the cops involved because the court will give the baby back to Michael. His mom thinks that's crazy. Dante starts knocking at the door.
In Michael's office at ELQ, Sonny swears he didn't drug him. Michael knows who did it. Morgan and Kiki get off the elevator. Michael confronts them. Morgan refuses to take the blame, declares all of this 'demented' and asks his father if he believes it. Michael explains how he has pieced everything together. As the brothers bicker, Michael shoves Morgan. The meds fall out of his pocket. Sonny demands the truth. Kiki admits it. Morgan tells his dad he did it all for him. Sonny's not impressed and lectures Morgan for putting Avery in danger. Michael accuses his brother of kidnapping their sister. Kiki apologizes and leaves with Morgan. Sonny tells Michael that the only thing that matters now is that Avery is okay. He wanders out. Sabrina puts an arm around Michael. He thanks her for all of her help. He doesn't know how his little brother went so wrong. Sabrina suggests that he's jealous. Michael thinks that he and Sonny have a new understanding. He is sure that Morgan and Kiki have had the kid all along.
Jake arrives at his wife's hotel room. She tells him about what happened. Downstairs, Sonny walks into the bar and tells Carly about the blow up at ELQ.
Sonny shows up to see Michael at ELQ. Sonny wants Michael to look him in the eyes and tell him if he had anything to do with Avery's kidnapping. The two bicker, but Michael swears he didn't have a hand in AJ's kidnapping.
Sabrina goes to ELQ, where Sonny and Michael are arguing about Avery still. She reveals that Michael wasn't drunk the night of the stroller incident, and she shows them the toxicology report on his pills. Michael realizes he was drugged on purpose and he knows who did it. Kiki and Morgan walk in just as Michael says the people who drugged him were at the Metro Court that day and pushing him to drink.
Journalists corner Obrecht at the hospital and question her about the baby. Nathan arrives and gets them to back off. Once they are alone in her office, she quizzes him about the kidnapping. He admits his sister is a person of interest but suspects Franco. She doubts it and casts suspicion on Silas. The cop is skeptical but admits that he hasn't been able to find Silas for questioning. She encourages him to find out what the doctor is hiding. Down the hall, Tracy fills Luke in about Scott getting him sent to a psych ward. Luke feels bad. Sonny strolls in. Once Tracy exits, Sonny fills Luke in about the kidnapping. Spencer knows that he has to face a reckoning for what he did to his old friend, but tells him how sorry he is for what's happened. They discuss how much abuse poisoned their lives. Sonny's sure Luke can live it down but he's not sure he can trust him again. Luke explains that his other self has been lying for years and envied him. "That dark part of me looked at you and thought you were living my life," he admits. He turned his back on the mob life for Laura. That part of him was bottled up until it poisoned him. He can't ask for forgiveness when he can't even give forgive himself. Sonny accepts his apology and apologizes for not being there when he needed him. He leaves with a strained laugh.

Editors Note
|ALIEN VS. PREDATOR relegated its intergalactic grudge match to Antarctica, keeping most of humankind gleefully ignorant. This time around, though, the destruction takes place in suburban America, and those who have been waiting for it finally get to witness facehuggers, alien hybrids, and the dreadlocked Predator wreak some homeland havoc. Directors Colin and Greg Strause (billed as "The Brothers Strause") don't seem concerned with achieving the tension of the original ALIEN and PREDATOR films, instead using their visual effects backgrounds to create a steady stream of monsters, gore, and goo. Picking up where AVP ended, REQUIEM sees Predator on a homebound spacecraft when a baby alien/Predator hybrid bursts from his chest, causing the ship to crash in the Colorado woods. Several facehugger specimens escape, planting eggs down the throats of a hunter and his son. Soon, baby aliens emerge from their bodies and head for town, where ex-con Dallas (Steven Pasquale), Iraq War vet Kelly (Reiko Aylesworth), pizza delivery boy Ricky (Johnny Lewis), high school heartthrob Jesse (Kristen Hager), and sheriff Morales (John Ortiz) have their own separate encounters with the creatures. The dead Predator's home planet receives a transmission of the alien outbreak, and a fellow denizen of his world is dispatched to clean up the multiplying aliens, eventually causing enough death and destruction for government intervention. ^This is essentially a slasher film (or FREDDY VS. JASON with aliens), and the characters in REQUIEM are secondary to the creature effects. Fans of the comic books and videogames will appreciate the Strauses? adherence to the lore of the series, but others will probably just find thrills in the copious special effects, which are frequent and well-done (if often occurring in darkness). There is also a significant amount of indiscriminant gore in this rightfully R-rated film. A government conspiracy plot thread and an ambiguous ending ensure that this battle isn't over yet.

|As the second round of an earthbound smackdown between two iconic extraterrestrials, "Aliens vs. Predator -- Requiem" provides enough cheap thrills and modest suspense to shake a few shekels from genre fans before really blasting off as homevid product. Slightly more graphic but appreciably less atmospheric than its PG-13 predecessor -- an upscale B-movie that offered the long-awaited monster match-up previously rendered only in vidgames and comicbooks -- the R-rated sequel likely will play best with auds who have little familiarity with, or reverence for, earlier installments in the "Alien" and "Predator" franchises...Occasionally, the filmmakers reveal a cheeky willingness to upend genre conventions, particularly when bending the rules regarding who lives and who dies in this sort of pic. But they may be a tad too clever for their own good while springing a sequel setup in the final scene, the meaning of which will be lost on anyone who isn't intimately familiar with arcane aspects of the "Alien" mythos...The actors have little to do here but hit their marks, say their lines and not bump into each other when the script doesn't call for it. Production values are on the level of a better-than-average direct-to-vid production or a Sci Fi Channel telepic, though the editing in a few battle scenes tends to confuse rather than excite.

Ponty Chada's `undisclosed` income - Rs 175 cr
New Delhi: Three months after the Income Tax department conducted searches on his businesses, liquor baron Ponty Chadha is said to have reported Rs 175 crore of `undisclosed` income to the department.
"The business group has admitted an undisclosed income of Rs 175 crore and further tax related proceedings are on," official sources said.
The IT department has begun the process of collecting tax on the concealed income after it recently got the challans (receipts) deposited after the raids from the business entities of Chadha, the sources said.
When contacted, officials of one of the companies owned by Chadha, refused to comment on the issue.
The sources said the I-T department, which conducted searches on the businessman`s premises on February 1, is still to finish its proceedings against the group as a number of bank guarantees are yet to be released.
The department is currently preparing the documents of the searches which will be sent to the Central range for tax assessment.
After the searches in February, the department had said it had seized Rs eleven crore in cash, jewellery and fixed deposits and sealed 13 bank lockers.
The I-T department conducted the searches on the businesses of Chadha and his associates in February covering 13 locations in Delhi including the posh Sainik Farms, Lajpat Nagar, New Friends Colony in Delhi and in six locations in Noida, Moradabad and Lucknow.

Without the whine, a vintage performance
It's not hard to see why the world junior hockey tournament is TSN's top attraction, bigger even than the NHL, CFL, NFL and poker.

It's not hard to see why the world junior hockey tournament is TSN's top attraction, bigger even than the NHL, CFL, NFL and poker.
It features Canada against the rest of the world, we usually do well and it's played at a time of the year when people tend to retire to their couches for long periods of time, often to remedy the effects of too much wine.
The last thing they need is another whine, which is what TSN has avoided so far in this tournament.
There's a historic tendency among Canadian broadcasters to carp about the quality of international officiating, especially when calls go against the home side. It can dominate broadcasts and turn the entire event into nothing but one long whine against officiating, something like a Maple Leafs radio broadcast.
But one of the strengths of the TSN team is that they seldom sink to that level, as they proved in Saturday's loss to Sweden.
At first it appeared that analyst Pierre McGuire was going to do what many before him have done. He questioned both Canadian penalties in the first period, noting on one that the international guys often call infractions based on what they hear instead of what they see.
But both were marginal calls and McGuire didn't waste time in showing there was no bias at work here. When the Swedes were assessed a penalty on a power play that led to the tying goal, McGuire told viewers Canada had received a big break.
"That's just a routine play back home," he said.
Play-by-play man Gord Miller called it "borderline."
Both gave full credit to Sweden for ending Canada's winning streak and they weren't reluctant to knock the Canadians, either.
"That's just error after error after error for a Canadian team that has shown us no errors until the third period of game No. 3," McGuire said on the winning goal.
Miller and McGuire have worked well together this tournament and not just in avoiding homerism.
Miller tends to be overlooked when the country's top announcers are listed, but he shouldn't be. He calls what he sees with a minimal number of words. Like colleague Chris Cuthbert, he weaves facts and stories into the game without sounding like he's filling air time.
When cameras showed Canada's Steven Stamkos, Miller instantly recalled a quote from one of the forward's coaches. It was nothing that will end up in Bartlett's, but it was a good addition to the broadcast.
McGuire has a tendency to talk too much, to say the least, but has been remarkably restrained this tournament. At one point Saturday he hadn't spoken in so long I wondered if he'd stepped out for dumplings and sauerkraut.

The food is good but the price is a bit high, the decoration is bullheads allover and is overpowers the place.
Had the steak with portabella mushroom and tostones and was great. Good service. Good food. The family was very happy.
I love Longhorn's baby back ribs. This new location is soooo much better than the old one. (The old one smelled)
Apparently, everyone else does too. It was packed, and the food took a while to ge to our table. Otherwise, great service.
This new and well decorated place has $9.99 lunch specials with 5 options to choose from. I had the ribs and chicken breast with caesar salad and was very satisfied with it. Most of the other dishes are more expensive, so enjoy the specials while they last. Longhorn's are about quality and decor but at a price.
Ive been there with my family many times but i just decided to put a review on trip advisor.I love the food there,starting with the bread ,there steaks are very tasty and there prices are not bad for the quality and quantity .I always go back
Longhorn used to be a place where we would go with our family because we could have a good meal for a good price. Now they have a new locale next to the old one, so we went with the family for dinner on a week night to try the new place. But this time it was so expensive that...
Nice place to have a good stake. Great place for a business lunch-meeting, as well dinner. Been here a few times. Margarita's are great. Onion soup is very good.
Great meal, great professional service, great atmosphere. Dinner arrived on time and exactly the way I asked.
The new facilities have a feeling of profit and money oriented ambiance...Was a regular for many years until they jacked up the drink prices ridiculously high ..peanuts are also gone.. I am also gone.
Tasty food
Good customer service
Refills always on time
Fresh salad
I ordered my favorite dish at LH. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a side of Cesar salad and tostones.
The food was delicious! The chicken was slamming with a ton of cheese and stuff!
My two main complains are price and portions. That same plate...

Posted by Charles Starrett on September 5, 2008 at 8:39 PM (CDT)
guys, i have had this case for a while. it really is perfect. i don't mind the bulk because i am in the outdoors a lot and really can appreciate the protection it affords. one note, guys: many of you might see annoying air bubbles appear on the thin membrane cover. experts have suggested that you rub the iphone surface with the palm of your hand before installing, as this puts a thin layer of oil between the iphone screen and otterbox membrane cover. well, this is not a fix all solution. i installed a power support anti-glare screen protector on my iphone 3g, not for anything, but simpy so that i have the flexibility of using my iphone off the otterbox case and stil have some degree of protection. guess what? no more bubbles when i put it back in the otterbox case with the anti-glare screen attached. this one really works and makes the overall package look classy.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 15, 2008 at 8:41 PM (CDT)
I have had this case for about a month. I wanted use it for a while so as to give an accurate review. First off I love this case. It saved the phone twice on the first day when I dropped it not once, but twice onto the concrete. The case now proudly bares a scar of sacrifice. The fit is good and all the ports and buttons line up well. The headphone opening fits all but the largest jacks.
As far as improvements that could be made. There are a few. The silent switch can easily be switched to silent, as for switching it back to normal mode. It is sometimes a challenge, almost needing a tool to get in there. My largest concern with this case setup is how you have to turn the screen towards the clip in order for it to be secure. This makes it hard to use while your clipped on anything. While driving the phone is just floating freely about the cabin. Which defeats the purpose of the clip. That and you can not charge it while it is in the clip. Again this makes the clip almost pointless. Lastly I feel that the phone should fit as securely all four possible directions in the clip for a complete user interface.
Still I would not hesitate in buying this case again or recommending it to someone else. Btw I have yet to try the anti reflective screen to help improve the screen bubbles.

Competition: we've teamed up with Italian designer Denis Guidone to give away nine of his Rigolo notebooks with slanted and squiggly ruled pages.
Designed for Fabriano boutique, the notebooks in red, blue and yellow are inspired by the way school children first learn to write on ruled paper.
This competition is now closed. Nine winners will be selected at random and notified by email. Winners' names will be published in a future edition of our Dezeenmail newsletter and at the bottom of this page. Dezeen competitions are international and entries are accepted from readers in any country.

More about Denis Guidone on Dezeen »
Here are some more details from Denis Guidone:
There's something irresistibly poetic in observing the notebooks of the children taking their first steps in writing; a wonderful mess rules.
In Rigolo errors will draw our thoughts ... free to make mistakes, every day all over again.
Rigolo is a lined notebook where the printing becomes landscape.
The idea takes shape from childhood memories; it is just a rethinking of the old lined notebooks that we used in kindergarden. How often has our teacher been reproaching us because we were unable to keep our notebook in good order?
In Rigolo the lines change colour and slope, they convey subjects ranging from geometry to figurative abstraction and the child is invited to follow them through writing.
While projecting the graphic, the optometry's studies stating that children at their first steps in writing tend to tilt their handwriting of 30 degrees were taken into account.
Rigolo: Bruno Munari national award 2008 for editorial graphic experimentation wanted by national committee Bruno Munari and its proponents: the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the Foundation DNArt, Regione Lombardia, the association Bruno Munari and the Triennale of Milano.
Congratulations to the winners! Sheena Garcia in the United States, Valeza Nagasaputra in Indonesia, Domenico Lanzilotta in Italy, Yong Lin in the United States, Aidan Smith in the UK, Phoebe Tree in the United States, Thomas Higgins in the UK, Linda Zhang in Hong Kong and Kei Osawa in Japan all won a Rigolo notebook by Denis Guidone.

Texas school district waited 21 MONTHS to inform parents of sex assault on campus after the victim's grandmother advertised the attacks on her CAR
A Texas school district waited nearly two years to alert parents to the rape of a young boy on one of their elementary school campuses.
Diana Hamm's grandson was raped twice - once in a bathroom and once in the school gym - by an older boy on the campus of a Clear Creek Independent School District elementary school in Houston. The attacker was convicted of the crimes in juvenile court and he has since returned to a middle school in the same district where the assault happened.
The school district waited until May 7 - after Hamm took her story to the press and even advertised it on the windows of her car - to alert parents of the incident.
Scroll down for video
Outrage: A Houston woman is outraged after discovering that a 13-year-old boy who was convicted of raping her 4-year-old grandson has been permitted to return to school
Campaigning for change: Determined to get a response from school officials, Diana Hamm advertised her son's campus rape on the outside of her car
'A news story ... has understandably created concerns among some parents and I feel it is important to communicate what we can legally share in accordance with federal and state laws,' wrote principal Jepsey Kimble in a May 7 letter to parents obtained by MailOnline. 'Two years ago, on a weekend, not during the school year, and not during any school sponsored activities, there was a report of a sexual assault of a child at Clear Lake City Elementary.'
The letter went on to explain that
the school has 'complied with all applicable laws and
regulations' regarding the assault and that it provides training for its staff to protect students and
campus visitors.
The assaults, which happened on Aug. 20, 2011, were captured on school surveillance cameras and the attacker later pleaded guilty to the crimes. He received two years of probation as punishment and has since returned to a district school. Hamm's grandson was four years old at the time of the attack and the assailant was 13.
Because the assailant is a juvenile, the law protects him from being named, despite his convictions.
Ever since the assault, Hamm says she
has been urging district officials to alert parents that the assailant
has returned to a public school campus.
She says she had been stonewalled by the district until taking her story to to the press.
Rape: Diana Hamm said her grandson was raped twice - once in a bathroom and once in the gym - by the older boy on the campus of a Clear Creek Independent School District elementary school
The school district wrote a separate, follow-up letter to Kimble's explaining why the student had returned to campus.
The letter, dated May 8, declared support for Hamm's 'quest' to ensure that students convicted of certain crimes - like her grandson's attacker - are kept in a separate facility from other students.
'However, in this particular situation, we had no choice on the student's placement due to legislative laws in place involving students with special needs,' wrote Holly Hughes and Alex Torrez, the superintendents of the district's elementary and secondary schools.
The letter goes on to explain that the attacker
is a special needs students and federal law limits the amount of time
that such students can be placed in an alternative
When the attacker
returned to campus, the district 'took the extra step to hire a
full-time employee to supervise [him] at all times on campus and during
any associated activities,' the letter states.
The Clear Creek Independent School District did not return a request for comment on this article.
As MailOnline has previously reported, the assaults against Hamm's grandson happened on a Saturday, just two days before the start of the 2011-2012 school year. The boys were on campus because their mothers, both teachers, were preparing their classrooms for the start of school the following Monday. The victim's father was also at the school with his wife and son.
The two boys were playing together when they disappeared for a couple minutes and as soon as they returned, the younger boy complained out loud to a group of adults, which included his parents and the mother of the assailant, that he had been hurt in a bathroom. The detail he provided, which included a description of body parts, indicated that he may have been sexually assaulted, Hamm said.
Hamm's son immediately removed his family from the school, contacted Hamm, and they went to police to file a report.
The next day, school administrators discovered that one of the assaults - the one in the gym - had been captured on surveillance video.
Twenty-one months later, district officials sent out the letters informing parents of the incident.

What's happening in Amsterdam today?
I've been watching the web cam for Dam Square in Amstedam, and there is some kind of celebration going on. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Sinterklaas arrived in Amsterdam this afternoon. There are various people performing on the Dam as part of the celebrations.
One more act to go by the look of it.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Barbara (I'm assuming "it is you").
I missed Sinterklaas, but saw a lot of men in black with white collars and socks dancing down the street (burgermeisters?), and floats pulled by green tractors outfitted with huge horse heads on the front of them.
Report Abuse
Yes it's me! So you are keeping an eye on things from afar .
Sint arrived in the Netherlands (in Roermond this year) yesterday, and then he makes his entrance into cities, towns and villages throughout the land over the coming week. He arrived in my town yesterday afternoon. But by helicopter, not steamship - how else could he get from Roermond so fast?
Report Abuse
@Robyn: those men in "black with white collars" are known as "zwarte Pieten" ("Black Petes"), they are Sinterklaas'es helpers. They scatter candy, make fun but also threaten naughty kids to take 'm back home to Spain when returning after December 5.
Report Abuse
Very interesting information, lonely traveler. Thank you. I love learning about other customs. So now, what's the deal with shipping the naughty kids off to Spain? Is that where Sinterklaas & the zwarte Pieten live?
Report Abuse
SInterklaas lives in Madrid, with his Zwarte Pieten. Every year he comes by steamship to the Netherlands (and Flanders) two to three weeks before his "birthday". He returns home on his birthday December 6th having left presents for all the good children. The bad children used to be whipped, or collected by Zwarte Piet and put in his sack, but in modern times all children are good of course so that doesn't happen any more, except in the songs.
My grandsons left their shoes out on Saturday night, when they received a small present from Sint. They will get their main Sint present on December 5th. They celebrate it with their Dutch grandparents, and then celebrate Christmas with us so they get a double helping!
The shops are now full of Sinterklaas music, Taaitaai poppen, speculaas, marzepan and other goodies associated with the day.
Report Abuse
Sinterklaas is a remnant of the Germanic "Wild Hunt": a more authentic ur-Sinterklaas is celebrated on the Dutch Islands in the North (Sunterklaas, Sunderum)

David Sedaris views on Sinterklaas.
Report Abuse
It all sounds familiar? Santa Claus is said to be modeled on Sinterklaas. The red suit, the white beard, helpers that climb down the chimney to fill stockings, it's all very similar to Sinterklaas. Read more on wikipedia.
Sinterklaas in turn is modeled on the 4th century figure of Nicholas, bishop of Myra (in Turkey these days, used to be from Greece origins). The man was known for his (secret) generosity.
The shoes Barbary talks about is something all kids do. They leave a shoe containing a carrot or hay for Nicholas' horse besides the chimney. The Black Petes climb down the chimney and replace the carrot by a small present (usually something sweet and chocolate).
Very popular are chocolate coins, small chocolate mints wrapped in foil to look like money. That custom refers to the myth where Nicholas dropped gold pieces through his neighbor's windows to keep him from exploiting his daughters as prostitutes.
There's a lot of folklore around Sinterklaas, all very interesting and providing a unique view on typical Dutch history. One could easily write a book or two about it. The church made him popular (he was introduced in the 12th/13th century to replace the festivities around Wodan) but once he became too popular (16th/17th century) the church tried everything in its power to stop the myth. Too little too late.
Report Abuse
Present day Sinterklaas was introduced as a Dutch "neo-traditional" custom in the nineteenth century. That's the origin of customs such as the steamboat from Spain thing, the outfit of both the Saint and the helpers, and also of the blackface.
Lots of dutch people remember this: Adrie van Oorschot, most beloved of TV Sinterklazen and Mies Bouwman

Thank you all, for the Sinterklaas education. I definately saw the parallel between Sinterklaas and Santa Clause, and the zwarte Pieten and the elves, and the shoes and the stockings; it was the arrival by steamship from Spain that surprised and intigued me.
And ribeirasacra - Oh my God...those clips were just too funny! They made me late for work this morning. I think I really have an understanding now of Sinterklaas.
menachem - Okay, I watched the videos, and I could see the "wild hunt" costumes on some of the guys, but those dudes in the haz-mat suits, and the the group with the baskets full of bottles on their heads, well - that had me totally confused. It was fun watching, none the less.
hetismij - Yes, I've been keeping an eye on Amsterdam. I have 5 different web cams that I check on most mornings, just to see what the weather is like, or what's happening on the Dam. The webcam for the Koningsplein has audio - sometimes is nice just to be able to hear the sounds of the city; the trams, the bells on the bikes, voices in the crowd. We're planning another visit in April 2013, for Queen's Day! We'll be landing in Amsterdam on the 18th, spending a few days getting over jet lag, then heading to Germany's Black Forest for a week, afterwards returning to A'dam for Queen's Day, and flying home on 3 May. Maybe we can get together for a visit when we're in the city? When the time gets closer I'll probably post a GTG alert.
Until then... Happy Sinterklaas Day everyone!!!

This was last year's Sunderum on the island of Terschelling. All men are required to make themselves unrecognizable, this used to be done by dressing up with branches and reeds, and you can still see that on some of them, traditionalists. Women are not allowed to go out, and can hang a lamp by the door signifying that a Sunderum may visit them. This they do (this is the going into and out of houses) and while they receive something (alcoholic) to drink, women ask them questions to find out who they are. If they are discovered, the mask comes off and they stay in the house where they were discovered. Of course, this was also (and still is) a courtship ritual, and the Sunderum who is recognized and his recognizer often become engaged in spring.
Anyway, nowadays, usually the disguise contains references to topical themes of island life, and in 2011 it was the news that Jumbo, a huge supermarket chain, was opening a huge supermarket on Terschelling, squeezing existing, smaller shops out. Hence the shopping baskets and the elephants, because part of their brand is the elephant logo.
But all this Sinterklaas stuff really refers back to the Ur-Sinterklaas, a much darker figure and the Wild Hunt is on in much of Europe and then looks something like this
Zwarte Piet is a domesticated version of Krampus, warrior from the underworld. I remember, that when I was a child, Zwarte Piet still was a fear inducing figure and was used as such, and the "whipping" references in Sinterklaas songs were to real occurrences in previous years.
On the island of Ameland, Sunterklaas celebrations often lead to beatings in the street, and tourists are routinely warned not to visit the island, and -if they do - stick to the rules.

I must confess, when hetismij & lonely traveler first started explaining about Sinterklass and his "helpers" I was kind of envious of the Dutch, for having a "realistic" santa/sinterklaas; he lived in Spain and arrived by steamboat, which was a much more plausible story than living at the North Pole and flying a magic sled around the world in one night.
But geeezzz!!! Those Krampus are scary YIKES!!! At least my parents just lied to me about a fairy tale... they didn't scare the sh*t out of me and leave me with nightmares.
Seriously folks, this has been wonderful fun for me, and I want to thank everyone for their part in my education of Sinterklaas and the Zwarte Pieten/Krampus.
