Tread Lightly. Hunt Confidently.Built from a proud tradition of innovation, the Alphaburly Pro is our premium hunting boot. Combining high quality, scent-free rubber with naturally insulating neoprene, the Alphaburly Pro fears nothing. Not the cold. Not the harsh terrain. Not the challenges of a grueling hunt. It features a thick cushioning EVA midsole for added comfort. An embossed liner for better air circulation. And an adjustable rear gusset for the perfect fit.
In hand-laid premium rubber we trust.
The Alphaburly Pro is built with hand-laid premium, natural rubber over insulating neoprene. As a result, it surpasses its full rubber counterparts when it comes to durability, flexibility, and comfort. Lightweight and always long wearing, the Alphaburly Pro won't crack in the cold, won't get soft in the heat and won't ever leave you wanting another boot.
Stalk. Hunt. Repeat.
Wherever the hunt takes you, the Alphaburly Pro is always ready and able. Its unique tread pattern gives you the traction to move through demanding terrain while its chamfered edges keep you fast on your feet by shedding the mud, the muck and the mayhem below. The Alphaburly Pro features a thick EVA midsole for less weight, more comfort and unequaled hunting performance season after season. It's good to be the predator.
Roam free scent-free.
The fact is, there's no better scent suppressing material than rubber. And that's why for generations, whitetail hunters have been wearing LaCrosse rubberboots. Boots like the Alphaburly Pro. With its full rubber clad over neoprene construction, it combines absolute comfort with unequaled scent protection.
There's no such thing as hunting too long.
Every hunter wants to hunt longer. The Alphaburly Pro makes it all possible by keeping your feet comfortable no matter the weather conditions, no matter the terrain. Its embossed neoprene liner creates better air circulation while also regulating temperature inside the boot. So your feet never get too hot and sweaty or too cold and stiff.
Customized to never let your feet down.
Comfort begins with not only the right fitting boot, but the perfect fitting boot. A boot that's customizable like the Alphaburly Pro. Its durable, full rubber gusset on the back accommodates different calf sizes and makes it easy to slide the boot on and off. To keep the boot from coming loose in thick mud and muck, the 4XAlpha's contoured and secured fit grips the ankle and locks the heel place. This means no more chaffing and rubbing because your foot no longer slides around in the boot.
Durability and flexibility. The perfect hunting partners.
The Alphaburly Pro proves that durability and flexibility can comfortably coexist in a boot. It features three layers of rubber in the toe guard and heel to make it more durable in these high-stress areas and two layers of rubber in the instep for added flexibility where it's needed most. So no matter where the hunt takes you, rest assured that your boots will be durable, flexible, and, of course, comfortable.

Comments about LaCrosse Alphaburly Pro Side-Zip 18" Realtree Xtra 1000G:
I have nothing but positive things to say about my Alphaburlys! They are the perfect combination of a boot that is light enough so you dont sweat on the way to the stand yet warm enough when worn with a wool sock for the coldest days. I have always hated trying to pull rubber boots off at the end of the day when worn with a thick sock but the side zip feature of the Alphaburlys make getting in and out a snap! The addition of the cinch strap at the top gives added comfort and fit. The deep lug pattern does not build up muddy clay like some tighter patterns do and give you security when climbing in the stand. I bought these boots a size larger so I could use a thicker sock when conditions were colder and expected heel slip. I was pleasently suprised when my heel felt locked in place even with a thinner sock. I would recommend these boots to anyone looking for a great hunting boot for mid to late season hunts.

Finally a rubber boot that is light weight but warm enough for an all day sit in the deer stand. My Alphaburly Pro-Side Zips are vital for my late season hunting and scouting. They are very comfortable and durable. I'm not as flexible as I once was and the side zipper is an extra great feature, especially for getting dressed in the field. I've recently worn these boots out shed hunting walking multiple miles and my feet never hurt afterwards. I highly recommend these boots to the serious hunter. Thanks for a great product that allows me to spend more time doing what I love.

leading business figure
Speaking at the Australian International Education Conference in Melbourne, he said the council would not recommend the imposition of mandatory limits on international student numbers in its forthcoming report to the government.
When the council called for submissions on the future direction of Australia's international education industry earlier this year, it asked for input on whether targets should be set for a sustainable number of international students at a national, state or institutional level.
This request came against a background of views expressed in some sectors of the community that Australia had accepted too many international students and would not be able to supply an adequate infrastructure to service them.
"The council does not support the imposition of mandatory limits on international student numbers. It is, I think, a self-regulating issue," Mr Chaney said on Friday.
Mr Chaney, who is chairman of National Australia Bank and Woodside Petroleum, said there was never any view on the IEAC that there should be more government direction of international education.
"The sector has prospered because of individual and institutional initiative and innovation. The task for the government is to make sure that they get the settings right and allow people to operate freely," he said.
Mr Chaney said there were issues in international education of great importance for the government, such as immigration, for which there needed to be rules.
While he did not specifically refer to the Howard and Rudd governments' poor management of immigration rules for international students, which sparked an unsustainable boom in offers of permanent residency, he did say that governments were not good at imposing regulation.
"Whenever a government comes out with rules and edicts, the pendulum swings too far, almost by definition, and some find it inconvenient or damaging," he said.
Mr Chaney's advisory council is expected to report to the government later this year and will pay close attention to what Mr Chaney's fellow NAB board member
He also said that the council was considering the federal opposition's plan, outlined by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott in July, to set up a new Colombo Plan to redress the imbalance in student exchange by ensuring that more Australian students study in Asia.
With industry projections showing a fall in student numbers of nearly a quarter by next year compared to the 2009 peak, Mr Chaney said the downturn was a real concern. "Notwithstanding the projected continual growth in supply of [international] students, which the OECD estimates at 7 per cent per annum, there is increasing competition from traditional areas like the US and the UK and Canada and also from emerging areas, particularly in Asia," he said.
He said the long-term sustainability of Australia's international education industry depended heavily on the quality of the student experience.
"We need to listen to the views expressed by international students in regard to their Australian experience and act accordingly. Things at the top of the list for them are quality of teaching and the reputation and quality of institutions," he said.
He also called for more to be done to ensure that there was better public appreciation in Australia of the value of international education.

Is There a Better Way to Operate Gerald R. Ford International Airport?
Is there a better way to run the Gerald R. Ford International Airport?
The Airport Board has hired a consulting firm to look at how the airport is operated today and how to move the airport forward for both the air carriers and airport passengers.
"We need to make sure that we are looking out to see if this is the best and most efficient governance model in the airport business."
Kent County Commissioner Roger Morgan tells WOOD Radio the airport is doing well today, but the consultants will take a closer look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threats to the airport, and consider representation from Kalamazoo and Muskegon counties.
"It is an Enterprise fund within the county. We are looking at possibly taking it to an authority to see if that will make operations more efficient."
The consultants are expected to present their findings to the Airport Board and Kent County Board of Commissioners by the end of next year.

One night after scoring just four times on 26 shots, Team White needed just 18 minutes to equal that offensive output on Monday, finding the back of the net five times on 19 shots in the opening period of their 7-5 win over Team Red at the National Men's Summer Under-18 Team selection camp in Calgary.
White's win evens the three-game series at a game apiece, with the third and deciding game set for Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. MT at Father David Bauer Olympic Arena.
Just as they did a night earlier, Team White opened the scoring, with Kyle St. Denis (Trail, BC/ Vernon, BCHL) doing the honours just shy of the five-minute mark of the opening period, beating Team Red goaltender Jeff Bosch (Martensville, SK/ Saskatoon Blazers, Midget AAA) on a penalty shot.
As it is in all three games, any penalties called will not result in two minutes in the penalty box for the offending player, they will result in a penalty shot for the affected player.
It was another penalty shot goal for Team White just under five minutes later, this time it was Phillipe Cornet (Val d'Or, QC/ Rimouski, QMJHL) beating Bosch for a 2-0 lead.
It took just five more minutes for the lead to become three, as Jared Cowen (Allan, SK/ Spokane, WHL) fed Cody Hodgson (Markham, ON/ Brampton, OHL) from behind the net for Hodgson's first goal of the two games.
Each team received a four-minute powerplay at the end of each of the first two periods – Team White at the end of the first period, Team Red at the end of the second – and Team White took advantage of their time with the man advantage, scoring twice.
James Wright (Saskatoon, SK/ Vancouver, WHL) got the first, taking a pass in the slot from Michael Del Zotto (Stouffville, ON/ Oshawa, OHL) and outwaiting Bosch for a 4-0 lead.
Kyle Beach (Kelowna, BC/ Everett, WHL) rounded out the first-period scoring for Team White just 36 seconds after Wright's goal, ending a nightmare opening 20 minutes for Bosch and Team Red.
Team Red was able to get on the board before the first period ended, however, as Tyler Cuma (Bowmanville, ON/ Ottawa, OHL) beat Team White goaltender Jacob DeSerres (Calgary, AB/ Seattle, WHL) between the legs on a penalty shot with just 17 seconds to go.
In addition to their 5-1 lead on the scoreboard, Team White held the advantage in shots on goal in the first period, 19-13.
Cuma's late goal seemed to spark Team Red, who came out flying in the second period.
Chris Doyle (Charlottetown, PE/ PEI, QMJHL) got his team started just 35 seconds into the middle frame, batting a puck past DeSerres after a scramble in front of the Team White goal.
Team Red continued to apply the pressure, and peppered new Team White goaltender Kevin Poulin (Montreal, QC/ Victoriaville, QMJHL) after he replaced DeSerres near the midway point of the period.
It took until the 16-minute mark for Team Red to put one past Poulin, as Jimmy Bubnick (Saskatoon, SK/ Saskatoon Contacts, Midget AAA) poked the puck over the line to pull his team to within two at 5-3.
Just as Team White had done on their first-period powerplay, Team Red made theirs count in the second, as Nazem Kadri (London, ON/ Kitchener, OHL) made it a one-goal game and made the unthinkable comeback seem like much more of a reality.
Despite more Team Red pressure to open up the third period – including two missed penalty shots from Colten Teubert (White Rock, BC/ Regina, WHL) – Team White struck for the first goal of the final period when Jordan Hickmott (Mission, BC/ Medicine Hat, WHL) finished off a 3-on-2 by snapping a shot over the blocker of Peter Delmas (Bedford, NS/ Lewiston, QMJHL), who replaced Bosch in the second period.
Adam Henrique (Burford, ON/ Windsor, OHL) made it a one-goal game once again with just over three minutes go, flipping the puck over a sprawling Poulin to pull Team Red to within one at 6-5.
Poulin made sure his team kept the lead down the stretch by making a number of fantastic saves, including a spectacular glove stop off Jordan Eberle (Calgary, AB/ Regina, WHL) just 30 seconds after the Henrique goal, and David Toews (Winnipeg, MB/ Shattuck St. Mary's, U.S. High School) finished it off with an empty net goal with only 38 seconds to go, sealing the victory for Team White.
Poulin finished with 13 saves on 15 shots in his 30 minutes of work, while Team White goaltending partner DeSerres stopped 17 of 20 shots. Team Red goaltenders turned aside 30 of 37 shots – Bosch stopped 18 of 23, while Delmas turned away 12 of 14.

Wallabies great Joe Roff believes former teammate Stephen Larkham is a future Australian coach if the rookie Super Rugby mentor can survive the early cut-throat nature of the job.
Roff also labelled the Brumbies' back line as the equal of any in the club's rich history, with the potential to become the best.
Larkham will make his debut as a Super Rugby head coach when the Brumbies host the Queensland Reds at Canberra Stadium on Saturday night.
The 39-year-old was always being groomed for the role, but was thrust into the position earlier than expected, given Jake White's sudden resignation two years into a four-year deal.
Roff said Larkham would be under immediate pressure to reproduce last year's results, when the Brumbies made the Super Rugby final, but he backed his former teammate to thrive under the new coaching structure at the club.
Roff said the dual coaching structure, with Laurie Fisher as director of rugby, would provide Larkham the support to progress in his own career.
''He's a Wallaby coach,'' Roff predicted of Larkham.
''He knows the game so well, he knows high performance, he knows what it takes to be the very best. He's a Wallabies coach-in-waiting if he gets the development he deserves.
''There's only two types of coaches: those that have been sacked and those that are about to be sacked. It's a really insecure job and if you go in too early without the resilience, support and all the elements that create a great coach, then you can get burnt very quickly. I think Steve's got that around him at the moment.''
Roff and Larkham were instrumental players in the star-studded Brumbies back lines that won Super Rugby championships in 2001 and 2004.
Brumbies players dominated the Australian back line at the time, including George Gregan, Stirling Mortlock, Matt Giteau, Clyde Rathbone and Mark Gerrard. Roff rates the current back line as just as good.
Even with Wallabies playmaker Christian Lealiifano sidelined by injury, the Brumbies have the luxury of Australian centre Tevita Kuridrani on the bench for the season opener against the Reds.
Centre Andrew Smith and winger Henry Speight will be the only players in the back line not to have represented Australia, although Roff declared Speight a future Wallabies representative as soon as he becomes eligible this year.
Roff said the rapid rise of Brumbies players to Wallabies stars resembled the glory years of the early 2000s.
''At the time we became Wallabies, we were still young rough country kids and no one had given anyone from the ACT a chance to become a Wallaby,'' Roff, a veteran of 86 caps for Australia, said.
''It was never a coincidence that George Gregan and Steve Larkham were the best nine and 10 in the world, they worked off each other and they worked together to become that. In isolation, a single player within that back line wouldn't succeed and become a world-class player unless he had other world-class players around him, and that's what's exciting for me, they're there now, there's a back line of them.''

One REASON Romney Wanted To Win: Post Election Romney & Bain Face Fed. Corruption & Perjury Hearing
Poiticus USA - Ten days ago, this column reported on a Delaware bankruptcy courts failure to enter an Emergency Motion into the public docket that included Bain Capital and Romney operatives perjury and corruption in the eToys bankruptcy case. At the time it appeared the judge was protecting Romney and Bain Capital by suppressing the motion in expectation he would win the election and have the motion tossed out of court ...
Well now that he lost the election, it appears the allegation had merit because on November 7, the day after his crushing defeat, the Delaware bankruptcy court judge entered the motion into the public docket and scheduled a hearing for December 4, 2012; all on the same day.
It was a victory for the whistleblower and eToys investors, and incriminating for the Delaware court and Willard Romney because although the judge received the Emergency Motion on October 24th, it was withheld from the public docket until after it was clear Romney lost the election and would not be appointing an attorney general to drop the case.
According to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 79 says when a motion is received by the court,
The clerk must keep a record known as the civil docket, and must enter each civil action in the docket and assign consecutive file numbers, which must be noted in the docket where the first entry of the action is made.
Instead of putting the Emergency Motion into the public docket immediately when it was received, it was held up until the day after the election and gives the very believable appearance the court was waiting for election results before either acting on the Motion according to the law, or letting it languish until Romney appointed a friendly attorney general.
Assuming Romney would appoint a friend of Bain as attorney general is an entirely realistic assumption because Bain Capitals corrupt lawyers were let off the hook when George W. Bush appointed another Bain lawyer as Delaware U.S. Attorney who refused to investigate and eventually drop the eToys case instead of prosecuting and forcing Bain to repay investors who were bilked out of their money.

regardless of what date used as his resignation, the statute of limitations on any action that could have been brought under a romney directorship, would have long expired.

7. I don't know about the Statute of Limitations, but apparently
Willard was there in the thick of things when the eToys caper went down. And maybe he continued to engage in criminal activities afterward as part of the coverup that he can be prosecuted for.
This story is a couple of weeks old and you may have already seen it, but it's neverteless an interesting refresher:
To sum it up, Bain Capital attorneys committed Perjury to become the eToys Debtor's counsel, Creditors attorney and place their cohort in as President/ CEO. Then they "betrayed" their sworn duty to eToys, the shareholders and creditors for the sake of their secret client Bain Capital/ Kay Bee. When a bribe attempt was made and reported to the Delaware Department of Justice; a Bain Capital law firm attorney
(Colm Connolly - pictured right) was made the United States Attorney on August 2, 2001 and was a MNAT law firm partner in early 1999 (the SAME Exact time period that Mitt Romney is seeking to be "retroactively" resigned from). (Please see Dept of Justice Office of Legal Policy archived Resume of Mr. Connolly [here]).
The story is finally OUT by an up & coming Matt Taibbi type in the making (PoliticusUSA reporter Rmuse). Please read and spread the word to stop this Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital criminal disaster from trying to become an Al Capone in the White House?

32. You are correct (though your logic is missing a piece) - there's NO Statute of Limitations in eToys
Number 1 - SOL begins once the case is closed (they kept it open until after the election - to prevent me suing in California)
Number 2 - Fraud on the Court - by an "officer" of the Court (key term) - has NO SOL's
(see case of In re Hazel Atlas Glass http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/322/238/case.html
The U.S. Supreme Court RE-opened a case that was closed for many years
because the ruling was accomplished by fraud from the attorneys.
Finally, beyond the fact that the crimes are continuous (today the filed a Motion that is another LIE)
the fact of the matter is - Bankruptcy Fraud SOL's begin "after" the case closes and runs for 5 years.
This case is still open (and as remarked - the crimes are CONTINUOUS)

and there's NO SOL (statute of limitations) here - because the crimes are continuous.
Plus - he escaped culpability for 11 1/2 years - due to Federal Corruption.

8. From Steven Haas's Opening Remarks..
Bain Capitals Toys R Us entity is in the possession of the stolen property of eToys.
Priorto this time, MNAT (as eToys debtors counsel) and Paul Traub (as eToys Creditors counsel), confessed
lying thirty (30) times to this court deliberately to conceal their conflicts of interest to multiple parties. The Code & Rule of Law under Section 327(a) unambiguously dictates their disqualification. However, due to corruption, the court was unwittingly duped to pardon them.They took the pearl of leniency and trampled over this court with further lies. Hiding the fact that they all (secretly) work for Mitt Romneys Bain Capital in their sinful quest to destroy the eToys public company. A neon elephant in the room that no one, thus far , has been able to see, is Bain Capital CEOs wicked desire to be retroactively resigned from the eToys crimes in 2001.
Colm Connolly was a MNAT partner from the spring of 1999 to August 2001. They tried to buy me off. When I reported their criminal intents, Colm Connolly became the U.S. Attorneyin August 2001; who then refused to investigate and / or prosecute Bain Capital for 7 years.
Enigmatically, even after Smoking Gun evidences forced (some ) confessions, the courtapproved attorneys for Collateral Logistics realized justice was a ghost in this case and joined thedark side. Every single counsel, upon all sides of the eToys case, earnestly hopes Mitt Romney will become the President of the United States and reward them. Thy staunchly refused to inform federal authorities about their knowledge of statutory violations before during and after the fact ,(violating 18 U.S.C. § MisPrison of a Felony). Seeking to bully this whistleblower, who is also a witness/ victim; this petitioners very own counsel for Collateral Logistics, Inc., did email a threat from Bain Capitals Paul Traubs firm that I must back off . Therefore I, Steven Haas( also known as Laser Haas), the sole, 100% owner of Collateral Logistics, Inc., due to crimes of counsels in eToys and rogue federal agents betrayal of their oaths to the Constitution of these United States, left with no other choice, must address this court as a whistleblower pro se.
Whereas this petitioner avers that the attestations of additional frauds are true and correct. That during and after
this honorable body ordered the bad faith parties to come clean and granted leniency; Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital cronies continued their fraud on this court by Perjury. This courts Opinion established that it is wrong to reward conflicted attorneys while punishing plaintiffs. Thus this petitioner respectfully requests the compensation equitably due and/ or that the court pay this petitioner by § 503 Substantial Contribution, and/ orsua sponte. Within this Courts Opinion of October 4, 2005 the court was jurisprudent enough to provide acomfort order protection against any further deceitful acts. Therefore, this activist also prays this court disqualify the parties and remove the Administrator Barry Gold for cause under Plan Section 5.2 and reinstate petitioner to preserve/ secure eToys and wind-down the estate?

12. sigh
everyone that gets excited about information like this, as I said in another post referencing these shenanigans of mittshit and bain. A lot of very powerful people have known about this and in conjunction with their media surrogates have buried this from mainstream public scrutiny via television, radio. If mittshit spends a day in court or behind bars, pigs in lipstick will fly.

15. Ha,..nobody is vibrating off their chairs with jubilee on this story...
But like all legal actions, the further the case proceeds, the more likely little factual nuggets become public.
The hearing is on December 4th 2012.....I'm NOT holding my breath for some breaking news development to arise from the hearing but the unexpected should ALWAYS be factored in regardless how small that sliver is on the pie chart.

30. I'm the source of the story and the crimes began in 2001 (and are continuous) - Romney was CEO 2001
Romney, his attorney and his campaign staff have ALL confessed he was "technically" CEO until August 2001
However, he seeks to be "retroactively" retired from August 2001 - back to February 1999.
The reason being - his MNAT law firm partner (Colm Connolly) was a partner with MNAT from March 1999 to August 2, 2001
(see his resume here http://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm )
After being appointed as U.S. Attorney in August 2001;
Connolly buried the Bain Capital/ eToys fraud for 7 years.

9. Not JUST an investor
he was listed as founder, CEO, investor, sole proprietor, beneficiary and a host of other positions which claimed basically that he, himself, was the personification of Bain, period. Blind trust is BS with a thin paper napkin over it. I'll look for a reference...

With the arrival of the new year comes new resolutions, new classes and most importantly, new trends! Across the campus of JMU students rock their new winter threads, usually accompanied with many warm accessories due to the snow that still covers the grounds. Winter is my favorite fashion season because I love all the opportunities it provides. You can maximize on your use of color with colored tights, scarfs and pants. Additionally, wearing layers to keep yourself warm actually adds dimension and depth to any outfit.
For some, however, fashion comes second to sleep and it is hard to wake up and change out of sweats for class, especially on a day when it is cold and dreary. This Fashionisto shows that comfort can be stylish and that you don't have to go over the top to look good. He paired two soft materials together, corduroy and cashmere, to create a relaxed yet trendy look. His corduroy pants are a classic navy blue, which helps to accent his patterned Urban Outfitters cashmere sweater. The deep colors are appropriate for the winter season, because unlike pastels, they create a more vibrant look. This Fashionisto finished off his look with timeless Sperry Top-Siders boat shoes but I think that Clarks boots would have been a great, sassy alternative.
Girls, in order to get your boyfriends to dress nicely, you have to remember that for them, the most important thing is comfort. Pairing a soft thermal from L.L. Bean with a colored cotton sweater from J.Crew is a win-win because not only will they look put together but it's a wearable and warm outfit. You can incorporate different patterns such as a plaid or striped shirt with a plain sweater, or vice versa. Don't be afraid to mix two different patterns or color combinations together. My personal favorite is my deep plum Lacoste sweater paired with a multi-colored American Eagle Outfitters checkered thermal. Because its so gray in the winter, you can never have too many colors.
If you are going for more of a hipster vibe, pick up an old thermal from the thrift store or you can steal your dad's old ones like I do. It is important to remember that fashion doesn't always have to be flashy, classic stores like Eddie Baur and Vineyard Vines swear by comfort, just as long as it makes a statement!

Tangy Cheeseless Cheese Sauce
2 tablespoons vegan margarine (Earth Balance is good)
2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk (I use soy)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1-2 tablespoons tahini
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion granules
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2-1 teaspoon vegan Dijon mustard
1/2-1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
good pinch cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
1. Melt margarine in medium saucepan. Add flour and stir well with wooden spoon over medium heat. Watch for burning! Do cook the flour for at least a minute until the mix looks frothy and bubbly. Remove from heat.
2. Stir in milk, stirring all the time and keep stirring off the heat until all the liquid has been incorporated into the mixture and there are no lumps. Return to low heat and stir until thickened.
3. Add in nutritional yeast and remaining ingredients and stir until smooth. Taste for seasoning. Serve hot over veggies, on English muffins, for mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches... out of the pot with a spoon...
Hey, this recipe sounds awesome!
Does anyone know how long it can keep in the fridge? Or how to store it for a long time?
;D WooHoo!!! This sauce is the most fantastic thing ever! I've made it at least a dozen times...I too use fresh garlic and whole grain mustard...but I've also kept the tahini (2Tbs) in there. I usually eat it with pasta. I actually lost track of this recipe b/c I forgot to add it to the 'ol recipe box...my sister was laughing at me for being so upset...then I re-found the recipe and made the sauce for her. Needless to say, she was very apologetic after tasting the sauce!
Thank you for an awesome recipe!
Delicious! I made a few modifications - fresh garlic instead of garlic and onion granules, wholegrain mustard rather than dijon, chilli powder instead of cayenne,and I didn't have any tahini so used extra lemon - it was lovely :D Was after grilled cheese sanwich equivalent and this was great just to spread on top of my fresh baked bread.

Watson picks North as Ryder Cup assistant
United States Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson has named Andy North of Madison to serve as a vice captain for the 2014 United States Ryder Cup Team. North was announced on July 3.
North will serve as a vice captain when the United States and Europe meet in the 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, in Perthshire, Scotland, Sept. 23-28, 2014.
North, 63, won the U.S. Open in 1978 and '85. He represented the U.S. in the '85 Ryder Cup, losing all three of his matches at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England.
"Andy knows what it takes to close the deal and that's what we need on the Ryder Cup Team. We need players who can close the deal," Watson said. "We've been discussing the players already back and forth and the types of young players who might make the team, the types of players that actually I hope make the team.
"I'm certainly happy to have Andy on my side and in my ear helping me make the decisions that will bring this Cup back home from Europe this time. It's been way too long."
A native of Wisconsin, North played collegiate golf at the University of Florida, and was an All-American in 1970, '71 and '72. He has been inducted into both the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame and the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
Since 1993, North has served as a golf analyst for ESPN.
"I was giddy, absolutely giddy over the opportunity to not only hopefully have a role to get the Cup back, but also to be able to help a dear friend," said North, who has known Watson since 1967.
"I'm looking forward to it. There's a lot of excitement to the Ryder Cup, and it means an awful lot to me. I've been lucky enough to cover it for ESPN, and I get emotional covering it. It's going to be a great experience, and the bottom line is we get a W at the end of the week."
Nine members of the 40th U.S. Ryder Cup Team will be determined following the 96th PGA Championship, Aug. 7-10, 2014, at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. Watson will announce three Captain's selections to complete the Team in September 2014.
In September 2014, the U.S. will attempt to win back the Ryder Cup, which Europe has held since 2010. The U.S. last won a Ryder Cup in Europe in 1993, when Watson captained the Team to victory at The Belfry.
Paul McGinley of Ireland is the 2014 European Ryder Cup Team Captain.

The reality is, I'm not sure who that person is anymore. It feels unfamiliar yet familiar all at once. So, I've decided to write again. Kinda like an odd coming-of-age movie type writing. Maybe out of a need to rediscover who I am, or maybe I just need a place to speak in a time where my mouth doesn't seem to be doing a very good job.
But most of all, here's my story. A continuation of sorts but maybe more of a beginning, at least that's my hope.
I am Sarah Joy and I'm a bit of a princess. I absolutely adore humanity, rather naively at times but this also means I get seriously disappointed and hurt when faced with its depravity. I want to learn to dance. I sing out loud. I have conversations with myself in the car. I have amazing friends.

Robby Findler: > It is my understanding that semi-colons are more standards compliant. > That's why it is the default. According to the RFC1738 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt), semicolons and ampersands are equally acceptable in URLs that begin with `http://' (section 5, page 17), but semicolons are ``reserved'' characters (section 3.3, page 8) and so are allowed to appear unencoded in the URL (section 2.2, page 3), whereas ampersands are not reserved in such URLs and so must be encoded (as, say, &). RFC2141 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt) extends this rule to Uniform Resource Names generally, classifying ampersands as ``excluded'' characters that must be encoded whenever used in URNs (section 2.4, page 3). The explanation and rationale is given in Appendix B (``Performance, implementation, and design notes,'' http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html) of the World Wide Web Consortium's technical report defining HTML 4.01. Section B.2.2 (``Ampersands in URI attribute values'') of that appendix notes that the use of ampersands in URLs to carry information derived from forms is, in practice, a serious glitch and source of errors, since it tempts careless implementers and authors of HTML documents to insert those ampersands in URLs without encoding them. This practice conflicts with the simple and otherwise standard convention, derived from SGML, that an ampersand is always the opening delimiter of a character entity reference. So the World Wide Web Consortium encourages implementers to use and recognize semicolons rather than ampersands in URLs that carry information derived from forms. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8+ <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD4DBQFFLR16bBGsCPR0ElQRAizVAJddgT63LKc6UWqRyHh57aqWjSXGAJ4wyseS JALQefhDMCATcl2/bZL0bw== =W2uS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I vote for carpentry. Because,

You have to work within the constraints of the materials.
The carpenter has to assess and work with the variations of the grain, strength, and imperfections of the wood.
And he has to chose the tools and techniques he uses for any particular job to suit the requirements of the job. Mortice and tenon joints and glue may be perfect for building a cabinet, but would take far too long when erecting shuttering for a concrete pour, where nails are more cost effective.
The programmer has to work with and around data that may be incomplete, badly formatted, or just damned inconvenient.
Likewise, he has to choose his language and tools carefully, and work with the strengths and around the weaknesses and imperfections of them.

It takes skills knowledge and experience to make the raw materials approximate the design.
No matter how well designed and drawn the plans for a workpiece are done, translating the raw materials into the product is far more than just 'cut here', 'drill there', 'screw that'. How you cut, drill and screw means that two equally skilled practitioners of the art, or even the same guy on different days, can produce good and bad examples of the same thing.
The same analogy holds for programmers. How you choose to perform each step is nearly as influencial to the outcome as performing all the steps and doing them in the right order.

Carpenters, like programmers, are not machines.
Where a sheet metal press, or autolathe or grinder can be set up to turn out consistantly identical parts, each workpiece or program is created anew.
Even the best carpenter can have off-days. Cut in the wrong place or too deep; pick the wrong piece of stock; or misread the measurements.

Mass production methods can go some way to speeding up production and alleviate variance, but the final product is never quite as satisfactory.
Using engineered woods (plywood, MDF, veneers etc.), and automated machinery can allow for the production of cheaper products.
But just as a set of mass produced kitchen cabinets will never quite fit any given kitchen as well as the bespoke output of master carpenter. So the results of a 4GL; the mix'n'match of generic libraries; or the filling-in-the-blanks of a framework; program will never be as fit for purpose as one written by a skilled programmer to satisfy a targetted specification.

Basically, just as with carpentry, there is just as much art and craft in software development as there is engineering. Perhaps more so. That will have to change unfortunately.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Mexico City, Distrito Federal (AFP) Aug 06, 2013
Tropical Storm Henriette strengthened into a category one hurricane in the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday but is moving away from the coast of Mexico, officials said.
"Henriette has continued to strengthen overnight and early this morning," the US National Hurricane Center said.
In the early hours of Tuesday the storm was 1,513 miles (2,435 kilometers) southwest of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico's Baja California Sur state.
"Because of its remoteness there is no alert" but it will "intensify over the next 48 hours off the coast of Mexico," the country's National Water Commission said.
The storm is moving northwest at a speed of 11 miles per hour, with sustained winds of 75 miles per hour.
The last hurricane to hit Mexico's Pacific coast was Erick in July, which left two people dead and five hundred victims in its wake.
Meteorologists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned in May that this year's hurricane season would be more active than usual.
They predicted the formation of 13 to 20 named tropical storms and six to 11 hurricanes -- including three to six major ones, with winds stronger than 110 miles per hour.
The hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30.

Housing Options
There are many factors involved in qualifying for a mortgage loan. Below is a brief overview of the minimum qualifying criteria for the various homeownership program models being offered in this application round, but it does not provide a complete picture. Our homeownership partners will assist you in reaching your homeownership goals with a personalized Action Plan.
Permanent Affordability
How it works: Lower-to moderate-income families receive a grant to assist with the down payment on a home that's made available by a community nonprofit. These homes are kept forever-affordable for all future homebuyers through an agreement with the nonprofit that the homeowner will resell the home at a price that provides them a return on their investment while still being affordable to the next income-qualified buyer. The grant does not need to be repaid.... (Continue reading)
Down Payment Assistance Loan
How it works: Homebuyers receive financial assistance toward the down payment on a home—either one owned by a community development agency or one listed on the real estate market. This assistance comes in the form of a no-interest loan with no obligation to pay for 30 years, or until the home is sold.... (Continue reading)
Self-Help Homeownership
How it works: Homebuyers at very low to low incomes receive a no-interest loan to assist with the down payment on a new or renovated home. In this unique "build it and buy it" program, homebuyers contribute 300-500 hours of volunteer time during the construction of their home (alternate opportunities are available for individuals with limited mobility). There is no obligation to repay the loan for 30 years, or until the home is sold.... (Continue reading)
Maps of Eligible Areas
Applicants can receive up to six "preference points" based on their current or past residence (plus that of a parent/guardian or grandparent) within areas of concentrated urban renewal in N/NE Portland.
Click here to explore maps of the areas eligible for preference.
Preference is based on the amount of urban renewal activity that occurred where you or your parent/guardian or grandparent lived (or currently live) in N/NE Portland.
- Preference is given to applicants who were displaced, are at risk of displacement, or who are the descendants of families that were displaced due to urban renewal in N/NE Portland.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Preference Policy?

I have a disability preventing me from completing the application, what can I do?
Can I get more time to fill out my application?
How do I know you have received my application?
I'm trying to check my application status. What does it mean if I can't find my reference number in the online database?
My application status says "Active" (or "Inactive"). What does that mean?
How do I update information/correct mistakes on my application if I've already submitted it?

If I get the maximum number of preference points, do I automatically qualify for housing?
If I am selected for the waiting list but I don't qualify for the housing offered, what happens to me then?
If I am not selected in this round, will my application be automatically considered for other housing opportunities in the future?
Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to apply?
How do I determine my household size? Who is considered a member of my household?
What is the Preference Policy?
Recognizing that past City actions have marginalized and displaced many longtime residents of North and Northeast Portland, the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) developed the Affordable Housing Preference Policy as a tool to prioritize impacted households for PHB housing opportunities in the area. The Preference Policy aims to address the ongoing impact of this legacy by giving priority to households with generational ties to N/NE Portland—i.e.: current and former residents of specific areas that were subject to high levels of urban renewal, and their descendants. View maps of these areas online. Note: The Preference Policy determines the order of applicants on waiting lists for housing, not their eligibility for housing programs.
How does it work?
Whenever PHB housing in N/NE Portland becomes available, PHB will advertise an open application round for households to apply to receive preference for those openings. This will apply to rental apartments, ownership homes, and down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. Top priority will be given to households (and their descendants) who owned property that was taken by Portland City government—during the building of Memorial Coliseum or the expansion of Emanuel Hospital, for example. These are "priority status" households.
All other applicants can receive "preference points" based on current or historic residency. Up to three points are possible based on whether your current or former address falls within one of the areas where past City plans had a destabilizing effect on long-term residents; up to three more points are possible based on the current or former address of your parent/guardian or grandparent, for a maximum total of six points possible. (Click here to view maps of the eligible areas and their point values).
PHB will sort the applicants in order of their preference points from highest to lowest, with priority status households at the top of the list, followed by six-point households, then five-point households, and so on. All applicants will be notified of their waitlist status by mail.
Who is eligible?
PHB housing programs serve low- and moderate-income households. Households up to 80% of the Median Family Income are income-eligible for PHB homeownership programs ($41,200 for an individual or $58,800 or less for a family of four in 2015). View income guidelines to find out if you are income-eligible. Through partners, PHB offers several types of homeownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers (anyone who has not owned a home within the last three years), including down payment assistance, conventional homeownership, and shared equity housing models. Different types of programs have different qualifying criteria, such as credit score, income, and household size. Click here to find out more.
How do I apply?
PHB will be accepting applications between May 2, 2016 and May 13, 2016. Beginning April 18, applications will be available online and at designated application sites. Apply online, in person at a designated application site, or call the helpline to request a paper application in the mail. You can find a list of application sites as well as a paper application for download here beginning April 18. Printed applications can be dropped off at an application site or mailed to the PO Box address below (mailed applications must be postmarked by 11:59 pm on the May 13 application deadline). Note: application sites will only accept applications during their standard business hours on the application deadline date. Limit one application per household.
N/NE Preference Waitlist
PO Box 28289
Portland, OR 97228
What if I have more than one former address in N/NE Portland and/or more than one for my parent/guardian/grandparent?
You can use a maximum of two addresses for preference points. Each address will qualify for 0-3 points, for a maximum total of 6 points possible. If you or your parent/guardian/grandparent have more than one former address in N/NE Portland, or if you have more than one parent/guardian/grandparent with an eligible address, select one to list for yourself and one to list for a parent/guardian/grandparent. You may choose which addresses to list on your application if you have more than two eligible addresses to choose from. If you currently live in the same house as a parent or guardian, of if you currently occupy a home previously occupied by a parent or guardian, you may list the same address twice.
I have a disability preventing me from completing the application, what can I do?
Reasonable accommodation request forms are available by clicking here and at partner sites for individuals experiencing a disability. Submit your request electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail to: N/NE Preference Waitlist/PHB 421 SW 6th Ave, Suite 500 Portland, OR 97204. Staff at PHB or at designated application sites can also accept accommodation requests given verbally, over the phone, and can assist you in completing the form. The request must be submitted prior to the application deadline. We are unable to process requests received after the application deadline. If you are having trouble finding or accessing a request form, call the PHB helpline for assistance.
Can I get more time to fill out my application?
You must submit your application between May 2, 2016 and May 13, 2016 to be considered for this round. If you need assistance with your application in order to meet the deadline, contact the PHB helpline, or visit the PHB website for a list of community partners who can help you. Application rounds for future opportunities will be advertised on the PHB website (sign up for the email list to be notified directly about future application rounds by clicking here).
How do I know you have received my application?
If you submit an application at an application site, you will be given a confirmation receipt with the date, reference number, and the initials of the staff person who received your application. If you are mailing in your application, PHB will mail you a confirmation letter with your reference number. If you apply online, the online application will generate a reference number for you when you submit. Beginning in June, you will be able to search the database on the PHB website by your reference number to ensure your application appears in the system.
I'm trying to check my application status. What does it mean if I can't find my reference number in the online database?
If your reference number isn't in our system, we did not receive your application. If you feel this is a mistake, please send us a scanned or photocopied version of your confirmation receipt (with your reference number), along with a completed Application Update Form, so we can enter your information. We cannot assist you if you do not have your confirmation receipt.
My application status says "Active" (or "Inactive"). What does that mean?
In each application round, we will have a certain number of openings to fill. Once the application period closes and applicants have been sorted in order of preference points, a predetermined number of applicants from the top of the list will be put on the "Active" waitlist for those openings (because not all applicants will complete the process to qualify for the housing programs offered, the number of applicants on the Active waitlist will be greater than the number of openings available). Everyone else will be placed on an "Inactive" waitlist, meaning: they may still be considered for this round, but only if there are openings remaining after the Active waitlist has been exhausted. Applicants on the Inactive waitlist will be notified by mail of their status in the current round every three months until all the advertised openings have been filled. Anyone who does not receive housing during an application round can still be considered for future opportunities, but must reapply.
How do I update information/correct mistakes on my application if I've already submitted it?
You can update or change your information at any time by filling out the Application Update Form available online (call or email to request to have one sent to you).
How do I show that I/my family was displaced from N/NE Portland?
Once you are notified that you are on the Active waitlist for housing, you will be given a predetermined amount of time to submit documents verifying the address information you provided on your application, but you don't need them when you apply. Documents like utility bills, pay stubs, vehicle registrations, military ID cards, and lease agreements can be submitted as verification. Again, you will only need these if you are selected for the waiting list. More detailed instructions will be provided in the notification letters. A list of valid documents is available here.
If I get the maximum number of preference points, do I automatically qualify for housing?
No. Having Priority household status or qualifying for all six preference points does not guarantee housing. Applicants must still meet the eligibility criteria for the particular housing being advertised. Factors such as your household income, credit score, and debt may be considered in determining whether you qualify.
If I am selected for the waiting list but I don't qualify for the housing offered, what happens to me then?
If you do not qualify for the opportunity offered in this application round and are still interested in homeownership opportunities, we recommend you work with a partnering agency to advance your homeownership readiness. For more information on the partnering agencies and their services, please visit www.portlandoregon.gov/PHB. You may also complete an Application Update Form to be considered for other housing opportunities in the future, which may include both homeownership and rental options.
If I am not selected in this round, will my application be automatically considered for other housing opportunities in the future?
No. To be considered for future PHB housing opportunities in N/NE, you will need to complete an Application Update Form and indicate that you would like to be in the applicant pool for the upcoming round. Update forms for each application round will be available on the PHB website 14 days prior to the open application period.
Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to apply?
Both U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens can apply. Generally, you are an eligible noncitizen if you are one of the following:
• U.S. permanent resident, with a Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as an Alien Registration Receipt Card or "Green Card") • Conditional permanent resident (I-551C) • Other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee," "Asylum Granted," "Indefinite Parole," "Humanitarian Parole," or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant" • A citizen of the Republic of Palau (PW)
How do I determine my household size? Who is considered a member of my household?
Household size is a factor in determining income-eligibility for housing programs. In this case, household size refers to the number of individuals permanently residing together in the housing unit. To determine your household size, count everyone permanently residing in your home, including yourself.

T-Pain knew that his album "Epiphany" will at least get 20s position but never had it occured in his mind that it actually sits at #1 in Billboard Hot 200 chart.
With three big records coming in the same week, people knew that it would be a tough competition in Billboard 200 chart. Paul McCartney's heavily promoted album "Memory Almost Full" moved 161,000 copies yet the album is placed at #3. Even Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" that was led by #1 single "Umbrella" only managed to get the second runner-up post with 162,000 sales. The ultimately anticipated album this week turns out to be that of T-Pain's "Epiphany".
On being told that his record reached 171,000 sales and scored #1 in the tally the rapper said, "It's special, man. I ain't never expect to be up there, so it was never a goal to me. I was happy with being 20. I was just happy to be on a chart."
The 22-year-old, whose single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" is the main reason of the big sale, celebrated the charting with his friends who poured champagne all over him. "I had to change clothes and everything," he said. "It felt good to be recognized after being hated on for so long."
T-Pain's glory knocked down last week's reigners such as R. Kelly's "Double Up" and Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long". The former slips to no.4 this week after a 69 per cent decrease sale to 121,000 while the latter follows behind with 112,000.
Another newcomer in the top ten is country duo Big & Rich whose album "Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace" moved 103,000 units. At the same time, the album also entered Country Albums chart at #1.
Former biggest seller this year Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight" has to take a heavy plunge from the third position to #7 despite mere 24 per cent decrease to 96,000. Marilyn Manson's "Eat Me, Drink Me" meanwhile, opens at #8 with 88,000 sale, a number comparably small to his previous effort "The Golden Age of Grotesque" (2003).
In ninth post, Daddy Yankee's "El Cartel: The Big Boss" boosts 82,000 sale in the first week release while Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" falls 6-10 despite 33 per cent increase to 67,000.

Dutch Archives and Repositories
In the following information, the type of repository is first given in English and then followed by the Dutch translation. This information is provided in this manner, so you become familiar with the Dutch names, and this will enable you to search genealogy websites and the Family History Library Catalogue more efficiently.
General State or National Archive (Algemeen Rijksarchief)
This archive is the largest in the Netherlands and holds information not only for the main governing body, but also for the province of South Holland and the former area known as Holland. Here you will find records produced by the national government, such as military records.
Provincial Archives (Rijksarchief)
In the Rijksarchief you will find records that are produced by the province. In addition, this is where you will find records for municipalities that do not have their own archives. Municipalities with very little storage space will also house duplicate records here.
City or Municipal Archives (Stadsarchief of Gemeentearchief)
Birth, marriage, death and other records that occurred within the municipality are held here.
Regional Archives (Streekarchieven)
This archive holds records of several municipalities within a region. For example, the Streekarchivariaat Noordwest-Veluwe in the province of Gelderland, holds records for the municipalities of Doornspijk, Elburg, Elspeet, Ermelo, Harderwijk, Nunspeet, Oldebroek, Oosterwolde and Putten.
City or Municipal Registry Offices (Stads of Gemeente Secretarie)
Records that have not been deemed historical are held by the Civil Registry Office.
Town or City Hall (Gemeente of Stadshuis)
Records that pertain to the particular town or city, such as council minutes, will be found here. You may also find records from the city or municipal registry office and/or archives here as well.
Church Archives (Kerkarchieven)
In the various religious denominational archives you will find baptismal, marriage and burial records. Around 1811, the original or duplicate registers were ordered to be sent to the provincial or municipal archives. Some of the records are still held by the church archives. FamilySearch only holds microfilmed church records prior to 1811.
Central Office for Genealogy (Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie)(CBG)
This is the main information centre for genealogy and family heraldry within the Netherlands. Here you will find genealogies of families previously researched, family announcement cards, photograph collections and much more.
National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek)
This is the country's national library that maintains searchable databases, web exhibits, special collections and more.
Dutch Records for Genealogical Research
In the Netherlands, there are a number of records available to you for your family history research. Outlined below are a number of records that are available, what time period they cover and which archive or repository would hold these records. Not all records are covered, and it is suggested that you consult the holdings of each individual archive or the Family History Library Catalogue for other available records.
Knowing which archive holds the records will assist you in locating the information. You must know who holds the record to quickly find them in the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC).
Census Records (Volkstellingen)
A number of census records began in 1795 and some date back as early as 1580. In 1830 the first national census was taken and approximately every ten years thereafter. The census records are maintained at the provincial and city or municipal archives. FamilySearch has microfilmed copies of census records from mainly 1849 and earlier.
Populations Registers (Bevolkingsregisters)
These registers are similar to census records and began nationally in 1850. Some localities kept this type of register between 1810 and 1850. They are held by provincial, city or municipal and/or regional archives. FamilySearch has microfilmed copies.
Family Cards (Gezinskaarten)
These cards replaced the population register around 1920 in some municipalities. They existed until 1939. These cards are available from the city or municipal archives.
Person Cards and Person Lists (Persoonskaarten en Persoonslijst)
In 1940, the Person Card replaced the Family Card. In 1994 the Person Card was computerized and was renamed the Person List. These records are maintained by the various municipalities. Once a person is deceased the record is transferred to the Central Bureau for Genealogy (CBG). They are obtainable by written request only from the CBG.
Citizen Books (Burger of Poorter Boeken)
These books are maintained mainly by city or municipal archives and cover the period beginning around 1240 through to 1811. Some are available at provincial archives and on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Name Adoption Registers (Naamsaanneming Registers)
Napoleon decreed on 18 August 1811 that all Dutch families maintain a fixed given and surname. This is when most of the Netherlands began these records, and in some cases the registers date to as late as 1825. In the southern provinces of Zeeland, North Brabant and Limburg, these records began in 1808. Not all of these records have survived. Any surviving registers can be found in provincial, city or municipal, and regional archives, and on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Civil Registration (Burgerlijke Stand)
Known as vital statistics in North America, Dutch civil registration records began in 1811. In some areas, these records started as early as 1795. The earlier records, up to 1814, may be recorded in French. For most countries, civil registration records include birth, marriage and death registrations. The Dutch have included a few additional records in this category that include: marriage intentions, marriage consents, marriage proclamations, marriage supplements, divorces, and indexes to births, marriages, divorces and deaths. These registers can be found at provincial, city or municipal and/or regional archives. FamilySearch has microfilmed copies.
Church Records (Kerkregisters)
In the Netherlands there were many religious denominations which include:
|Dutch Reformed
|Roman Catholic
|Walloon or French Reformed
|German Reformed
|Restored Lutheran
|Scottish Reformed
|English Presbyterian
|English Episcopal
Church records exist from as early as 1542 to present. The various records you can find include:
|marriage/marriage intentions
|church master/deacon/elder accounts
|confirmations and first communions
|session minutes
|name adoptions
The registers are available at the provincial, city or municipal, and church archives, and at the Central Bureau for Genealogy. Church registers from before 1811 are available on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Admission and Indemnity Registers (Admissie en Indemniteits Registers)
These registers cover the period from about 1675 to 1811 and where maintained by the church and civil poor boards. They were created to reduce the movement of the poor between municipalities. Provincial and city or municipal archives hold the registers and FamilySearch has some on microfilm.
Orphans' Chamber Records (Weeskamer Registers)
These records were created to manage orphan's inherited property from deceased parents or relatives. They begin around 1440 and are available to 1811. These records can be searched at provincial, regional, and city or municipal archives, and on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Military Records (Militairen Registers)
Included in Military Records are service records, conduct rolls, recruiting lists, and releases. The registers begin early in the 1700s and can be found at the National Archives, provincial, and some city or municipal archives. Many are on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Guild Records (Guilden Registers)
The Guild records are mainly available from city or municipal archives and some can be found at the provincial archives or microfilmed copies from FamilySearch. These records date back to as early as 1240 through to 1798.
Tax Rolls and Registers (Belasting Registers)
Citizens of the Netherlands have been paying various taxes for many years. As a result there are many registers with records of the different taxes starting around 1240. The registers can be searched at the National Archives, provincial, regional, and city or municipal archives. Some of these records are available on microfilm up to 1811 from FamilySearch.
Emigration Records (Emigratie Registers)
For the period covering 1847 to 1878, the provincial archives hold Emigration Lists, which are also filmed and available from FamilySearch.
Land Registers (Land Registers)
The Dutch land records begin around 1200 to present day. They are available at provincial, regional, city or municipal, and some private archives; at the city or municipal registry offices; and, some are available on microfilm from FamilySearch.
Notary Records (Notariele Protocollen)
Notary records include wills and estates, marriage contracts, guardianships and sale of land. They begin around 1530 and are available from the provincial, regional, city or municipal archives and at the city or municipal registry offices. Microfilmed copies are available from FamilySearch.
Court, Alderman and Sheriff's Records (Rechterlijken, Schepen en Scholten Acts)
These records date from approximately 1240 to present and are available from the provincial, regional, city or municipal archives, as well as on microfilm from FamilySearch.

Mike's the Stupid News: Sherriff Fired for Making Inmates Dance to Usher
A deputy at an Ohio jail was fired after word got out he demanded that inmates who wanted access to prison facilities amuse him first, by dancing to one of his favorite songs. Who is this guy, Yosemite Sam? "Dance, ya varmit!" Bang. Bang.
Dominic Martucci was fired for staging his own version of "So You Think You Can Dance" at the lockup, by slapping Usher's "Yeah!" on the sound system and putting them through their paces.
One prisoner says he was forced to do the robot in order to use a phone when informed about the death of his mother.
Martucci acknowledged "making a mistake," but said he was only trying to relieve tension in the facility.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Whirlpool tub in my washing machine is off balance during the spin cycle.
What do I need to do? Can I fix this on my own?
Hi, thanks for using JustAnswer. So I may give you model specific information, may I please have your model number?
I assumed that would be on the outside edge of the spin tub. I don't think I heard anything.
It is possible that the balance ring has leaked its liquid and now it will not spin well. Number 15 in the diagram is the balance ring.
If we can verify this to be the problem, it is easily replaced and is not too expensive.
Would you like to disassemble the machine with my help to diagnose positively?
I can hear liquid. Should I be able to see it? What next?
Yes, now what?
Cleaning it as best as we can. Is there a way to seperate the tub from the plastic tub it sits in to clean the outside of the metal tub?
They are there.
Is it possible that the gunk that has built up on the outside of the metal tub could throw it off. It is plastered to the top 8-10 inches. Rather gross.
Both the back legs respond as they should. Should I be concerned about the gunk falling down into the plastic tub and clogging the hose when it drains?
Now we are wondering if we are hearing the water in the bottom of the plastic tub that didn't drain completely and not water in that ring. Any way to check that?
I checked the level this morning so I think the floor is ok.
Is there a way to remove the ring? My husband feels there is enough water in the bottom to throw him off.
My husband pressed his flashlight against the plastic and gave it a little shake. We could see the water. Yea!
I'll finish cleaning it and give a spin. Thank you so much for your help Kelly! I have already emailed 5 friends about this site. Who knew!
Have a good day!

The essay, presented as opening lecture at the first edition of the Summer School of Local Development "Sebastiano Brusco" (Seneghe, July 2006), outlines the original contribution of Sebastiano Brusco on two related issues: theory and tools for analyzing the industrial structure and for designing development policy. Her we enlighten some distinctive elements apparently running through all Brusco's work, from the youth years in Sardinia, spent in cultural and political activities alongside Antonio Pigliaru, till the more mature studies on industrial districts. In Brusco's thought, a central role is played by knowledge, competence, information, education and training: as far as small firms productive systems, industrial districts, and also less developed areas are concerned. An innovative approach to policy design and intervention stems from this view, stressing mechanisms able to diffusely affect capacity, learning and perception of opportunities.

Paul Danos, Dean Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
More than ever, prospective students understand the value of an MBA degree and that is driving up applications. In addition, the growing needs of global businesses for well-trained managers who can grow into leaders are creating more demand for MBA graduates.
Last year was a turnaround year at many top schools in terms of placement. We saw a peak in the job market in 2000-2001, and we were not expecting the demand to return to that level so fast. Last year Tuck's placement statistics actually exceeded those of the peak year, so that compensation for the class of 2005 was at all time highs.
This year employment statistics will continue to increase-with virtually all first-year students getting paid summer internships and a high percentage of our graduating students with job offers upon graduation.
Like most schools, last year our application numbers were up for the first time in three years. This year our applications are up significantly and I think most other top schools are seeing strong increases in the quality and quantity of students applying. For Tuck this is the largest increase in applications we've seen in modern times, with applications from outside of the USA leading the way.
The monetary return on investment (ROI) of top quality MBA programs is unquestionably very high, but most programs have positive returns. A study of monetary returns published in the January/February 2005 issue of the AACSB's BizEd magazine titled, "The ROI on the MBA," concluded that there are substantial long term benefits to graduates with an MBA. The authors (Antony Davies and Thomas W. Cline) found that, "over the past decade, an MBA's average ROI has been three times the return on Treasury Bills, ten percent better than triple-A bonds, and four percent greater than the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)."
Of course, there is a lot more to career success than compensation. The full-time MBA also gives experienced professionals the opportunity to change their careers and to enter the global market place for management talent. Therefore, as both the monetary ROI and the psychic ROI become better understood the demand for top-notch MBA programs should continue to grow.
