Q.Why would any recording artist put out a record without their name on it? Some records are credited to a made-up name, but what chance is there to get played or be a success when no name at all is used?
In my modest collection, I have two such singles. One is "Cupids' Corner" (Crookshank CR-9100), a very sweet soul ballad. The other has only "Blue My Mind" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" on the label. No artist or label name is shown.
- Earl Liston, Milwaukee
A. Though an uncredited record has almost no chance of being played on the radio, some have found an audience on jukeboxes, where an unidentified performer can be less important than the music itself. When patrons dropped their coins to hear a tune, the juke operators paid no mind to who was or wasn't credited.
One explanation for an uncredited recording is if a song contains lyrics that would likely be offensive or unacceptable to a wide audience. This, of course, does not apply to post-1970s releases, especially the last 20 years, where seemingly anything goes.
Another reason for missing artist credits is that the label production department simply flubbed and forgot to add it.
"Cupids' Corner" is probably by Michael Washington, a.k.a., "The Young Root," who is also the writer of this tune. Washington is a high-voice singer in the Eddie Holman ("Hey There Lonely Girl") and Donnie Elbert ("What Can I Do") mold. This record is a coveted soul rarity and usually sells in the $150 range.
That "Blue My Mind" credits no one is anything but a mistake. They wanted to arouse curiosity.
It was produced by Campus Media and MGM for deejays at college radio stations. Everything they wanted to reveal about this release is stated in this three-paragraph cover letter, shipped with the disc:
"Enclosed you will find 'Blue My Mind,' the first 45 rpm record ever released exclusively to campus radio stations.
"The record is based on the music from Stanley Kubrick's extraordinary movie '2001: A Space Odyssey,' and was produced by Campus Media in cooperation with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
"We encourage you to include this collector's item (only 100 copies have been cut and none are for sale) in your programming, and we would be interested in your reactions.
"Campus Media Inc., N.Y."
Being a groundbreaker of sorts, and with a short print run, makes this about a $25 item.
Hoping to learn more about this interesting record, I called the New York number on Campus Media's letterhead. Much to my surprise, what was once their number is now answered by Carnegie Hall, and they know nothing about Campus Media.
Q.As innovative as they were in some ways (inventing the LP, etc.), Columbia Records appeared, for many years, to be blind to the success of rock 'n' roll.
How long was it before Columbia had its first top 10 rock hit?
- Nancy Bell, Pasadena, Calif.
A. Columbia didn't reach the top 10 with a rock release until March 1961, thanks to the teen-oriented "Baby Sittin' Boogie" by Buzz Clifford. The company's first No. 1 rock hit, "Mr. Tambourine Man," by the Byrds, came in June 1965, more than 10 years after other labels started flooding the charts with rock hits.
IZ ZAT SO? There are a couple of signings in the 1950s that fly in the face of Columbia's - specifically A&R chief Mitch Miller's - preference for non-rock artists.
In a nod to the sweeping new trend, Columbia signed Sid King and the Five Strings in 1955. Between then and 1957, Columbia released nine singles by King and his band but did nothing to promote them. Ironically, 30 years later their anthology, "Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight" (Bear Family), became one of the bestselling albums of all time by an uncharted rock act.
Just before Columbia parted ways with Sid King, it signed 19-year-old Ronnie Self. Five Self singles were issued, only one of which, "Bop-A-Lena" (Columbia41101), made the pop charts. It gave Columbia its first hit of the R&R variety.
As a singer, Self never again charted. He did, however, write several memorable hits for Brenda Lee: "Sweet Nothin's," "I'm Sorry," "Everybody Loves Me But You," "Anybody But Me," "Eventually" and "Sweet Impossible You."
Self also had one four-track EP, "Ain't I'm a Dog" (Columbia B-2149), a 1957 release that can now sell for $600 to $800.

Dumped toddler: police seek manComment on this story
Johannesburg -
Police have released photographs of a man they believe has information that will assist them in apprehending the murderer of a young boy found dumped in Hlongwane section in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni.
He doesn't have an ID number, but police believe Bongani Dladla is 36 years old.
"We believe he is in the Thokoza area and we think he can help us with the murder case," said Vosloorus police spokesman Captain Piet Rossouw.
The body of the boy was found dumped alongside a railway in Hlongwane section on the evening of August 17.
The body carried signs of abuse, including cigarette burns to his neck and a broken rib that had mended. He died after his skull was crushed.
Police battled for two months to identify the boy.
It was only when an identikit of the boy appeared on the front page of The Star that the dead boy's mother came forward.
She told detectives that she could no longer look after the boy and had taken him to live with his father and his new girlfriend.
This was in November 2012. She hadn't see her son again.
Anyone with any information on Dladla can contact either Warrant Officer Polane Mokadi at 083 551 5057 or Constable John Lekalakala at 072 623 1447.

I did not have a good experience with this Jojoba oil. My skin typically breaks out from commercial moisturizers so I tried using a bit of this oil instead. It moisturized my skin well but after using it for several days, I noticed cystic-type acne appearing on my face. I didn't connect the oil and continued using it, but the breakouts got worse.
When I concluded the oil was not working for my face, I tried to use it in my dry hair. This resulted in the same cystic-type breakout on my back.
I know that this works very well for some people but be cautious, especially if you skin breaks out easily.

I love Jojoba oil! It's good when you need a little extra moisture, and it's excellent for keeping your hair healthy! I've been adding it to my conditioner and my hair has been amazing! It's pretty amazing!

Using it as a makeup/sunscreen remover. Amazing for that, in conjunction with Clean & Clear' Oil Free Makeup Removing foam/cleanser. Only recently started w the jojoba; so far, has not instigated a breakout.
update: this stuff is great, zero breakouts in the past few weeks. totally would have by now if it were going to. i revisited a sunscreen that previously broke me out, and this has made all the difference. but i have a feeling my clean & clear cleanser is fully half the win, there.

I love this ! I use this as a moisturizer everyday except for extremely, dry cold winter days (when I need an extra cream) and it works perfectly ! It makes my skin smooth and glowy. I will probably use this forever. Best of all it is 100 natural with no extra ingredients/fragrances/or chemicals. I have normal but very sensitive skin and this has never caused any irritation or breakouts! In fact I am sure it helps keep break outs at bay. I especially love to use this as an everyday moisturizer in the summer because it always feel clean and light. After I get out of the shower I just carefully pour out 1 DROP for my whole face and gently pat/massage it into my skin. Make sure you don't use more than a small drop to avoid looking shiny! Sidenote: Try this out under makeup before you go out or anything to see if it works for you. I realized on the days I wear foundation I use Estee Lauder's Daywear cream because this doesn't always make my foundation look so great. If it works for you under makeup then great but if you have drier skin you may need to use a cream under foundation. I would still suggest using this as a night time moisturizer even if you can't wear it under your makeup everyday! :-) Your skin will love this stuff !

Right... so it's taken me years and god knows how many 100s or 1000s of ��� to find that my "HG" moisturiser was jojoba oil (or as I call it "nectar of the gods" haha!). Really, it is amazing. It sorted my skin out in 1 day (it was dehydrated, flaky and I had tiny bumps around my forehead and chin). I applied it in the afternoon and now I'm sitting in bed at night feeling my skin in disbelief. It feels soo soft and looks so glowy and clear - i almost can't believe the skin I woke up to this morning! Best part is it's 100% natural, no chemical nasties in it like parabens, silicones, parfum etc. as I have sensitive skin that is easily irritated and clogged. Oh, and it's so cheap... which makes me so annoyed to think I have spent more than 10 x more on 1 tub of creme de la mer which is not as good as this! Plus, I love how the skin soaks it right up - apparently because this mimics the skins own natural sebum. For that reason, I only apply 1-2 drops to my combi skin. Any more might run the risk of causing breakouts I would think. Also make sure to apply this on a damp face, not dry. My AM routine is either wash with Cetaphil or Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant then pat this on until dry. Sometimes I just mist my face with Avene Spring Water and then apply the oil. Who would have thought adding oil to the face makes the skin behave!? I would have pictured congested skin & cystic acne galore! But no, it really is a wonder product - I also use it on hair, cuticles, dry patches like elbows; it's very versatile. Read up on it and you'll find out many more properties like the fact bacteria cannot survive in it and its ability to unclog pores. Really amazing - I urge anyone reading this to try it.

i dropped all expensive products full of chemical nasties and went for the natural stuff. my skin was oily, red, congested, full of blackheads/whiteheads and i was breaking out regularly. I'm 17 so i thought that was just my teenage bad skin phase, but then i did research actually about what benefits my skin.
as a moisturizer i use a mixture of pure jojoba oil & cocunut oil. the word 'oil' freaked me out but the results are like no other (google both or just look on makeup alley). i tone with lemon juice and i use a clay mask once a week.
My skin is now normal, i have no spots or scars, i breakout about once a month but only very little, my skin tone is completely even & i dont need to wear foundation anymore (but i do anyway sometimes).
amazing results.. not just on skin. try or nourishing hair, dry skin patches, makeup remover etc

My most recent goal was to watch a marathon. Yes, watch.
I know that watching the race will motivate me to run another one. In 2011, I completed my first marathon. Four weeks later I found an enlarged lymph node that indicated my cervical cancer was back.
It's been almost two years since I finished the eight rounds of chemotherapy that it took to rid my body of the disease. Now, need to prove to myself that I'm just as strong as I was before cancer.Finding motivation during my cervical cancer treatment
During my cervical cancer treatment, I purposely participated in events that I wouldn't necessarily have before, such as skydiving. There was no guarantee I would live to put those items on a list to do when I was feeling better.

The following is a blog post that has been adapted from an essay that I wrote for my class on Television Criticism. The professor asked us to look at the politics of Nickelodeon and decide whether or not it had a "feminist agenda." It was clear from the lecture that the answer being looked for was yes but I decided to complicate things just a bit!
In order to decide whether or not Nickelodeon has a feminist agenda it is important to, first, decide what a feminist agenda would comprise of. According to Webster's dictionary, The widely accepted definition of feminism in today's society is, "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." This is a very simplified definition; most modern feminists acknowledge the wide intersections of oppression and seek to create equality with race, sexual orientation, ability, and other areas as well.
Since feminism is, at its core, about equality then a television station with a feminist agenda could simply be any station that seeks to represent men and women of all ethnicities, ability status, sexualities, and so on proportionality in their programming. A feminist television station could also be one that tries to create equality between these groups with proactive programming. Thus, in order to decide if a television station, Nickelodeon in this case, is a feminist television station we must look at two factors: whether or not its programming equally represents all types of people, and whether or not its programming seeks to further the cause of feminism.
Out of the six animated cartoons that Nickelodeon is currently producing and airing new episodes of, only one (The Mighty B) features a female lead (Nick Toons.) The live-actions shows are more balanced; two out of the four feature female leads (Teen Nick.) While it is true that early '90s "girl power" shows like Clarissa Explains it All broke new ground, it does not seem as if the success of this show changed the makeup of Nickelodeon programming, at least not for very long. It's been over ten years since the final episode of Clarissa Explains It All and Nickelodeon's shows are still highly male dominated.
Representation of differnt ethnic groups and disabilities is harder to grade on the cartoons since most of them revolve around non-human characters; the few that do have human characters, however, are populated by predominantly white and able-bodied characters. For instance the popular show The Fairy Odd Parents follows the life of white Timmy Turner, his white parents, fairy godparents, and babysitter. The only non-white character that is featured regularly on the show is Timmy's friend A.J. Johnson, there are no disabled characters (Nick Toons.) This is hardly representative of the diverse population that makes up most typical American towns.
Unfortunately Nickelodeon's live action shows don't fare much better in these areas, although there are exceptions like the show True Jackson, VP. Generally most shows either have no non-white or disabled characters, or they have one or two characters who act as the token minority sidekick. Non-heterosexual characters are also near impossible to find on any Nickelodeon show.
Clarissa Explains it All is considered a milestone for television because of its female protagonist, Clarissa, who was strong and independent; this portrayal directly flew in the face of the typical portrayals of women at the time. Clarissa Explains it All is a feminist favorite because it depicts a realistic teenage girl with big ambitions; a girl who is not portrayed as overly weak or incompetent. Clarissa was formulated as a relateable role model for young girls and boys – this is why Clarissa Explains it All can be considered a feminist television show.
There is a fairly impressive list of current Nickelodeon shows that meet this criteria, including As Told by Ginger, True Jackson VP, The Wild Thornberries and iCarly, to name just a few. This is refreshing in a world where most TV shows still seem to operate under The Smurfette Principle. This term for a common television trope was first coined in a New York Times article from 1991 which argued, "contemporary shows are either essentially all-male, like "Garfield," or are organized on […] the Smurfette principle: a group of male buddies will be accented by a lone female, stereotypically defined." This is particularly interesting, since this principle is rarely reversed, not even on shows that center on female characters. As Told by Ginger, for instance, often prominently focuses on Ginger's little brother and his friends, Clarissa Explains it All had Sam and Ferguson, and so on. This indicates more feminist-minded entertainment, as these shows tend to portray a range of male and female characters interacting.
In her now infamous 1991 article Katha Pollitt wrote, "the message is clear. Boys are the norm, girls the variation; boys are central, girls peripheral; boys are individuals, girls types. Boys define the group, its story and its code of values. Girls exist only in relation to boys" Thus, rebelling against the Smurfette Principle is a very important goal for feminist media since the resulting message from this principle, that girls can only exist in relation to boys, can be incredibly harmful to young girl's psyches. Pollitt drives this point home later on in the same article:
"The sexism in preschool culture deforms both boys and girls. Little girls learn to split their consciousness, filtering their dreams and ambitions through boy characters while admiring the clothes of the princess. The more privileged and daring can dream of becoming exceptional women in a man's world — Smurfettes. The others are being taught to accept the more usual fate, which is to be a passenger car drawn through life by a masculine train engine. Boys, who are rarely confronted with stories in which males play only minor roles, learn a simpler lesson: girls just don't matter much"
Shows like Clarissa Explains it All, As Told by Ginger, and The Wild Thornberries are important because they defy this trope, and thus refuse to tell the girls who watch them that they are somehow inferior to boys. It is in this sense that Nickelodeon truly earns the title of "feminist" since the network's choice to represent female characters leads, in some small way, to a feminist change in our culture; a change that says to little girls, 'you matter too.'
Since the airing of Clarissa Explains it All progress has been made. For example, other channels, like Disney, can be argued as having a feminist agenda as well; Disney has produced over eight major shows with female protagonists including That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, Pepper Ann, Lizzie McGuire, Kim Possible, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Each and every one of these shows features a female lead who has many dimensions to her personality and character. Some especially notable feminist protagonists include Kim Possible, a realistic female superhero; Lizzie McGuire, and incredibly realistically portrayed normal teenage girl; and Raven Simone, one of the few non-white female protagonists out there.
Despite this progress, there is still a lot more that needs to be made; most notably, minority groups deserve more screen time then they are getting. In addition, there has been some regression since Nickelodeon's feminist heyday. As cited above, Nickelodeon does not currently feature a balanced range of programming; they very clearly favor straight, white, able-bodied, male characters above all else. In order for this, or any, channel to truly be considered feminist this favoritism would have to be subverted.
Nickelodeon definitely made a step in the direction of having a feminist agenda with shows like Clarissa Explains it All before quickly scurrying back to the easy, marketable norm; unfortunately, the results of that step went off the air long ago. Television executives on all networks aimed at children should look back to the overwhelmingly positive feedback that shows like As Told by Ginger and Clarissa Explains it All received and strive for a more equal, some may even say feminist, representation of real and diverse little girls and boys on their shows.
My class seemed to feel that the tiny bit of feminist motives that Nickelodeon seemed to possess was, in large, a bad thing but I really disagree! Writing the paper that this blog post is heavily based on, frustrated me to no end since it forced me to realize how little of our media is truly feminist. Other then a few shows here and there (Like Glee and Ugly Betty!) many shows do not send positive messages about diversity. This leads me to some questions that I want to post to the Amplify community in the hopes of exploring this topic further.
- Do you feel as if the shows you watched as a child adequately represented you and made you feel included? Did your shows give you good role-models?
– How do you think we can go about positively influencing the media that surrounds us, especially media aimed at impressionable kids and teens, to be more feminist?
– What are some awesome feminist-minded TV shows?

Programs for Professionals
AFSP developed the following programs to help professionals increase their knowledge and understanding of suicidal behavior in a variety of populations, including teens and young adults, medical students and physicians, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons.
Our programs seek to help those working with these populations learn how they can play a role in suicide prevention.
Physician and Medical Student Depression and Suicide
Struggling in Silence: Physician Depression and Suicide and Out of the Silence: Medical Student Depression and Suicide are educational programs designed to addresses depression and suicide among physicians. Physicians frequently fail to recognize their own depression and that or their colleagues. Even when they do recognize that they are depressed, many physicians avoid treatment.

South Africa's Pistorius Is Eliminated at Championships
Oscar Pistorius, the first amputee athlete to compete at the track and field world championships, was eliminated after finishing last in his 400-meter semifinal heat in Daegu, South Korea.
The 24-year-old South African, who runs with J-shaped carbon fiber blades, finished in 46.19 seconds, more than a second slower than his personal best. Also today, Dayron Robles of Cuba was stripped of his gold medal in the 100 meters hurdles for obstruction and 400-meter runner Amantle Montsho took Botswana's first gold medal at the biennial championships, first held in 1983.
Pistorius was running at his first elite event since the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2008 overturned a ban on him by track and field's ruling body. The IAAF had ruled the blades give him an advantage. He finished third in his preliminary heat yesterday to reach the semifinals.
"It has been a dream absolutely come true," Pistorius said, according to the championship website. "I have learnt a lot and I am sure I will be able to use this experience and implement it in my races in the future."
Pistorius was born without fibulas and had both legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old. He had advanced to the semifinals by finishing third in a preliminary heat yesterday. He is also scheduled to run for South Africa's team in the 4x400-meter relay.
Robles was disqualified an hour after winning the 110-meter hurdles final for obstructing China's Liu Xiang, giving the gold medal to the U.S.'s Jason Richardson and silver to Liu. Robles touched Liu's hand, disturbing the Chinese as he appeared set to win the race.
Richardson said he heard of the decision while speaking to reporters after the race.
"I never wanted to win on a technicality," Richardson told Eurosport television. "But I've done the work to get here."
A day after former champion and world record holder Usain Bolt was disqualified for a false start in the 100-meter final, Carmelita Jeter won the women's version in 10.9 seconds. Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown took silver and Kelly-Ann Baptiste of Trinidad and Tobago bronze.
Jeter, a bronze medalist in 2007 and 2009, told Eurosport she had to look up to the television monitor to check she had won this time.
Waving Flag
Botswana's Montsho held aloft her nation's light-blue flag after holding off the U.S.'s Allyson Felix by 0.03 seconds in the women's 400 meter final. Anastasiya Kapachinskaya of Russia took the bronze medal.
Valerie Adams of New Zealand set a championship record of 21.24 meters with her sixth and final throw as she successfully defended her women's shot put title.
Japan's Koji Murofushi won the men's hammer throw title with a mark of 81.24 meters. Poland's Pawel Wojciechowski took the men's pole vault by clearing 5.90 meters, beating Lazaro Borges of Cuba -- who set the same mark -- to the gold medal because he had fewer failed clearances.

Arsenal will not be signing Georgios Spanoudakis as claimed earlier this summer.
Arsenal have missed out on signing teenage prospect Georgios Spanoudakis from Barcelona.
The Metro claimed earlier this month the prospect had 'signed' for the club, later changing their article to state they were simply 'closing in' on the youngster - but maintained he was even training with the Gunners.
The central midfielder has indeed now left Barcelona, but he has signed a deal with Bundesliga side Stuttgart instead.
Spanish newspaper Sport revealed: "The midfielder, who a few days ago was about to join Arsenal finally accepted the offer from German club."
The youngster has also been called into Germany's under-17 squad this week, a double celebration for him.
SEE ALSO: Transfer Clock: Quintero Arsenal update, Manchester United's £20m deal? Liverpool's £26m La Liga raid
Spanoudakis, 15, is a player whose future worth will be determined in years to come, but he would have been a low risk addition to Arsenal's academy.
At Stuttgart he joins the side from who Arsenal signed Serge Gnabry, and returns to his homeland.
Do Arsenal need to sign players to improve their youth teams?

- Leader of the research group "Strategy and Performance in Public Services" at the School of Management, Federal U. Bahia
- Research Fellow of the Brazilian Council of Scientific Research (CNPq)
- Member of the Academy of Management (AoM) – BPS and PNP Divisions
I investigate the dynamics of public and private relationships with a special attention to the organization of public services. More precisely, what really moves me is to understand the impact of organizational choices and strategic actions on performance. I am also interested in the boundaries of public and private organizations. My research is placed somewhere between Strategic Management and Public Administration fields and in order to obtain the responses to the (several) questions that I pose to myself I mainly use the organizational economics theoretical framework. In my papers I focus several areas, including: Prisons, Police, Mega-Events, Football, among others.

Several years ago, we were surprised to discover that the Yugo was still being made. Sometimes dubbed the worst car in history, Serbian automaker Zastava continued producing the Yugo through 2008 when the last one rolled off the assembly line in Kragujevac after a twenty-year production run. That was only months after Fiat inked a deal to buy the company and its assets, including the factory.

WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff Role: Project and Construction Management
Show Project Details
Program management (PM) is a partnership with owners that fosters effective, cost-efficient and innovative project delivery. Acting as an extension of client staff, the program manager protects the client's interests in all areas of project implementation from planning and design, through procurement and construction, and into operations and maintenance.
We can assemble a program management organization capable of taking a job from conceptualization through the environmental processes and permits; financing and funding; design, procurement and construction; and start-up and operations - all with full involvement of the client, and with full disclosure to the public and project stakeholders.
For our experts, program management means working with our clients to anticipate the key issues that could impact successful completion of not only the individual projects that make up a program, but the overall program itself. Our PM services enable clients to serve their customers - and their communities.
We also offer construction management (CM) services geared to a project's size and complexity, and backed by a corporate commitment to total quality management. On complex assignments entailing numerous projects and multiple contractors, our involvement extends from overseeing the planning and design phases to managing bidding and procurement and full CM services.
Appropriate for single projects or as part of our PM responsibilities, our CM services begin during design with schedule and budget evaluations, constructibility reviews, and accuracy checks on cost estimates. Weighing project alternatives and structuring bid packages for lowest cost are also part of our responsibilities, as are monitoring and coordinating daily construction activities.

Re: Voth vs. the Borg
The Borg may also designate non dominant, but useful species... Possibly even non sentient beasts of burdens like massive dinosaurs or donkeys who can act as drones with out participating in the collective mental concensus. They could find 10 to a hundred usable species on any one planet, but then you have to remember that if they hit a commercial space trading station, they could access just a thousand species in an afternoon... And they give the designation BEFORE the species is completely assimilated.
Why are the Ferengi Species 180?

Walking, Amsterdam
53 Reviews
53 Reviews
When walking through the old Amsterdam I find the city quite typical but not monumental.
I miss the monumental buildings, palaces, one sees along the avenues of Paris, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Budapest or Venice.
The houses of Amsterdam are very "middle class" for the simple reason I think that they were not build by noblemen who wanted to show their power and richness like in the other European countries but by the merchants of a Calvinist republic.
No Louvre, no Buckingham Palace, no Schönbrunn in Amsterdam!
The citizens of the Gouden Eeuw were actually working hard, discreet about their money, preferring to decorate the inside of their houses with these wonderful Dutch paintings and porcelain decorative objects.
A walk along the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht shows townhouses or merchant houses, built in or after the 17th century, who served as a residence as well as a workshop. They are often characterized by the facade and entrance, the door above the stairs was for high visit, the door under the stairs for staff and vendors. Because space was scarce, the houses are often narrow and high, with a lifting beam just below the roof furniture. Furthermore as the city was built on piles in the mud it is not surprising that so many houses have problems with verticality.
One of the great walking cities of the world, everywhere you look is a new scene that is just as interesting as the last. The old town section of Amsterdam is quite large and takes a couple of days to just walk and see all of these different scenes. During the week, Amsterdam is a busy city. Everyone walks fast, drives fast, bicycles fast. Everything is purposeful. In the evening, everything slows down (except for the young people). The apartments, homes, and houseboats light up (well, that too), the restaurants and pubs fill with tourists and locals. The city relaxes. The beauty of dusk with both daylight and artificial light brings about scenes of tranquility everywhere. Windows are open wide, with people sharing glasses of wine and beer. Couples and small groups gather on the rooftop gardens of the houseboats along the canals. Parks fill with walkers, joggers, bikers, senior couples, young lovers. Sidewalk cafes and pubs ring with shared laughter and there is a peace that settles in before bed and the next days return to work. Unlike many cities, one does not have to look far serenity in this marvelous city.
Photo 1 One of the countless small parks located all over the city.
Photo 2 Oude Kerk (Old Church). Notice the hook at the top of the building opposite.
Photo 3 Moving day. The hook is used to get the furniture in/out of the apartment.
Photo 4. Traffic Jam on the canals. Sometimes these are funny. Not usually though.
Photo 5 Low bridge. One of the best parts of the boat trip is the skill of the driver.
A friend of mine just recently was asking for help to go visit the sights of Amsterdam - had been living in London for a number of years and not been to Amsterdam and mentioned that she wanted to walk around and see the canals - and in the end she didnt! She said her family had said they were too tired to walk!
and what a shame to miss how beautiful the sights are - at various times of the day and night!
Ive been up early to head to the Aalsmeer flower auctions and thats a beautiful time to see the canals before the glare of the sun - when i walked from where i stayed in a hostel in the Red light district and walked up to catch a bus from Leidesplein, but it is beautiful at any time of the day - even if its raining!
So heres some pics for encouragement?!
I wouldn't bother with the Hop on Off Bus Tour or a sightseeing Tour of Amsterdam as its very easy to walk around the City. Take with you a map that you can follow,showing the main sights. I just headed to the Rijksmuseum and then walked from there. If you get tired, you can always catch the Tram. You see so much more when walking.
In the surroundings of Amsterdam, you can escape the city for a moment and enjoy the suburbian nature.

Too good to be true? No, this is for real...
Two times a day (11.15h and 13.15h), a FREE 3 HOUR GUIDED WALKING TOUR starts from the National Monument at Dam Square.
EVERY DAY except Queens Day, in every kind of weather. Tours are in English or Spanish.
Enthusiastic young guides will take you through the center of Amsterdam for three hours. Our guide did not only tell us the facts, but also threw in a good dose of humor. As a local I really liked the tour, and so did all the tourists in our group.
Of course, you are expected to give the guide a GOOD TIP if you liked the tour...The smart thing about this concept is that the guides really do their best to give you a good tour, because the better they are, the better their tip will be (in contrast to tours where you pay first and the guides can be as boring as they want).
Besides the free tour, they also offer a Red Light District tour and a Biking tour, for which you do have to pay.
See the website for most up-to-date information.
get a map and just walk from sight to sight and look at everything along the way!! look at the excellent architecture, and the variety of it. look at the hundreds of canals and bridges over them! and even the parked bicycles can be photogenic! did you know that only 2 million of the population of the netherlands dont have a bicycle!! (statistically).
and do one for the night view too , and another for the Queens Day visit!! well worth that wander!
Walking Amsterdam took us to the world famous 19th century Museumplein, which is arguably the cultural hub of the city. It is home to the three major museums in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art and the Van Gogh Museum which makes this an art lover's paradise par excellence. The Rijksmuseum which is home to the largest Rembrandt collection in the world is a giant impressive several blocks long building. On another day, we came back to the same area to visit the Van Gogh (say goahk?) museum, which has the largest Van Gogh collection in the world! Both were busy places but very enjoyable. I had a Heineken in both places to recuperate from such exhausting culture events. The museum square also caters to children with its skateboard park and a wading pool, which in the winter doubles up as an ice rink. Between the museums is a pretty park setting in which on our winter trip had a large and popular skating rink. We remarked that many of the European cities in winter seem to have a skating rink in the center of town. Both museums had lines to enter, but within 20 minutes we were inside the doors. Using the audio headphones really enhanced the self guided tour. Some places you can take a photo of an art piece, while at others you were quickly yelled at.
If you enjoy walking tours led by people that really love this city Mee in Mokum is for you.
It is a group of senior citizens that know Amsterdam very well and are happy to share it with you.
Very small groups only. I lucked out and was alone - a private tour for Euro 4 !!
All tours begin at 1100 hours.
The tour was originally supposed to be 2 1/2 hours but became extended...we took a coffee break, started to talk and altogether spent almost 4 hours chatting, walking and visiting the inner city.
The site is in Dutch only, but if you write to them in English they will answer in the same language.
When arriving at Amsterdam's main train station eg from the airport then talk a brief walk in the direction of the harbour (ie out the railway station's back door) instead of straight into Amsterdam central, and look out into the harbour, watch the variety of boat traffic travelling past.
Id missed this harbour view not even aware it was just there the previous two visits to Amsterdam.
Particularly nice on a sunny warm day or when you are in need of a cool breeze.
"Het doel van de staat is de vrijheid." ("The purpose of the State is freedom.")
— Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) the inscription on the Spinoza memorial
On Monday, 24.November.2008, at 13:26 a bronze tribute to the 17th century Amsterdam philosopher Baruch Spinoza was unveiled by Mayor Job Cohen. This date was the philosopher's 376 birthday!
Calling himself Benedictus (the Blessed One) later in life, Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher, born in Amsterdam, of a Sephardic Jewish family. The ideas he advocated were freedom of expression, tolerance and freedom of religion. Classified as a rationalist, his philosophy laid the groundwork for the Enlightenment. His radical ideas resulted his expulsion from his synagogue, the Portuguese Synagogue.
Nicolas Dings designed the bronze for the Spinoza Monument Foundation, which made of it a gift to the city. Located in Zwanenburgwal, where Spinoza was born, the bronze consists of Spinoza's head and face and by his side there is an icosahedron, a geometric form with 20 sides symbolizing the universe created by man's imagination. The birds covering his cloak are rose-ringed parakeets (see photo #4), an exotic bird that has settled in Amsterdam in the past 20 years. These bright green birds first settled in the Vondelpark, but today they be seen throughout the city. These birds are meant to symbolize Amsterdam as an immigrant city, both in the 17th century and today. The roses on his cloak refer to his name; spinoza is Portuguese for thorn.
This is not the first sculpture of Spinoza in Amsterdam. For decades one has stood in front of the Spinoza Lyceum, a high school in Amsterdam South.
We strolled through a fancy Department store (Birjenkorf) and somehow found very fancy lacy women's bras for only 169e. Such a deal! Then we heard that you 'shop at Birjenkorf but buy at Herma', a much cheaper little sister store. We never did find a Herma. We feared that the weather in Amsterdam was going to the coldest and worst of our December trip – just the opposite, it was great there. Still winter, but it was very reasonable for us to get around.
European beer drinkers always have their beer served in a glass with the logo of the beer they are drinking. Amstel is served in a special designed Amstel glass, etc. I already had some 'Stella Artois' glassware from Belgium, but on this trip I added some Peroni glasses from Italy, and an 'Amstel Bier' glass from beloved Amsterdam. I figure I can get a Heineken glass later, which I did.
Magna Plaza
This grand 19th-century building, once the main post office, has many upscale fashion, gift and jewelry stores. We walked through this big historic shopping complex which is not actually a department store, but a mall, located amid the extravagant 19th-century neo-Gothic architecture. The Plaza's four elegant, column-lined floors are filled with around 50 specialist stores of all kinds. Up on the fourth floor we enjoyed taking an 'Aquamassager' – we climbed into a long tube like an iron lung, and then the water pressure moves up and down pounding your body. Before we started I asked the lady clerk if credit cards were ok, and she said Yes, of course. When we were done, the woman's credit card machine or the telephone line was not working properly after several tries. I had to leave Joan there as a security deposit and/or hostage, while I ran the streets of Amsterdam in the dark looking for an ATM banc mat machine. I came back and found them now appearing to be the best of friends, just chatting away.
Staalstraat is a narrow street with some nice shops and pubs. Very touristy, I admit, but lively. I'll put some photo's in the Shopping Tips section.
Halfway Staalstraat you cross the Groenburgwal (canal) with a grand view of the Zuiderkerk again.
"Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and I do not wonder that the artists have gone mad over it. Imagine having in front of your door a row of trees, then a broad beautiful river, then on the other side another row of tall elms, and on the bosom of the river the most quaint and most impressive of Dutch galleons, of that dark-brown color like old mahogany, for which Dutch ships and Dutch sails seem to have taken out a patent. Yes, a dozen of them, with families living on the ship. Even the family washing, which the boatman's wife hangs out, with an occasional red shirt, helps the picture. It is a dream of color and tender tones."
— Mary Elizabeth Wilson Sherwood (1826-1903, American writer)
Amsterdam's coat of arms can be seen throughout the city in traditional and more contemporary versions.
In its most simple form (see photos #3 & #5), the coat-of-arms is made up of a red shield with a black pale emblazoned with three white Saint Andrew's crosses. Additionally, it is topped by the Imperial Crown of Austria, referring a time when the Netherlands was ruled by the House of Habsburg; and two golden lions flank the shield (see photo #4). Sometime the motto of Amsterdam, Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig Valiant, Steadfast, Compassionate, is included.
The city's use of XXX dates to 1505, when Amsterdam was a fisherman's town. As the symbol for the city and as its flag, which flew on all ships registered in Amsterdam, the city made its connection with St. Andrew, patron saint of fishermen, through the style of cross on which he was martyred. St. Andrew, fisherman and Christ's apostle, was crucified on an X-shaped cross.
What a coincidence: XXX symbolizes the sex industry; something that Amsterdam knows a thing or two about.
Having read the things to do list I decided to get to Singel and walk down to see if could find Anne Frank's house and the floating flower market. Despite a nice long picturesque walk down the graacht i didn't find my way through. But I got loads of pictures of bridges and canals It totally reminded me of my trip to Venice a couple of years ago, the only difference being the buildings were not totally in water and vehicles plied the road.
Small quaint restaurants by the canal- one of which offered cheesecakes and carrot cakes-lured me in for a tasty lunch! More walking and ther I was at the floating flower market! The other side of it looked a little shady so I kept my distance for the fear of chancing upon the famous/infamous RLD of amsterdam. So I headed back to the central business district and took a bus back to bos en lommerplein!

This or That (9/25)
Do you usually have the same thing for breakfast or do you mix it up?
It doesn't vary much. Toast/frozen waffle, cereal right out of the box, crackers. . .
Only constant is that, unless I've got a stomach bug or migraine, I have a cookie for dessert after breakfast : )
Quoting luckysevenwow:
The same foods, but mixed up.
I have cereal every morning, but we have at least 4 different kinds in the house at any given moment, so it's not always the same cereal.
