Latest news from Netherlands: First ash particles are expected to land on Dutch soil tomorrow; Dutch minister of traffic affairs wants to resume flights tomorrow; Transport priority will be given to the dozens of corpses that have accumulated in the mortuary of Schiphol airport...

Latest news here is that our minister of traffic affairs is getting nervous, he wants to open the airspace as soon as possible. Besides gliders and balloons, helicopters are now also permitted to take off. A Dutch plane has just been flown from Amsterdam to Paris without passengers. A radio...

Sunset... Also, this picture that was taken on April 15 in the neighbourhood of Amsterdam shows a spectacular sunset. Well, I didn't see anything like it. Actually, I have seen nicer sunsets without ash in the air.

Ash cloud coverage... Keven, using your link I found that this morning the ash covered a large part of Central Europe, including the whole of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland and other countries.

Well, if you want to come to Amsterdam through the air: use a hot air balloon or a glider. These are still allowed modes of transport. The Dutch airline KLM has made a test flight today at an altitude of 13 kilometers while taking air samples. The results are currently examined. The airlines...

I have used it many times as a small boy for whipping cream and making cakes :-). I also have the recipe booklet that came with it. Unfortunately my mother discarded the original box several years ago to make more room in her kitchen cabinet. My mother regretted that she didn't have dough...

A Philips mixer from the early '60s... I recently inherited this from my mother. I still know the store where she bought it.

Two 120 V lines should work. We had that in Amsterdam (actually two 127V lines). All European 230 V equipment will work with that. The frequency difference is another matter. The life span of motors, transformers etc. can be negatively affected as they will run hotter. Induction motors will also...

My boss has underfloor heating in his house in France that uses a heat pump. The heat is taken from the soil in a field near his house where an extensive pipe network has been buried. In the beginning there were a few problems with clogged pipes caused by soil that had entered the pipes during...

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it a good idea to have a "Push" button or "Discuss-O-Mat Control" button on the search results pages? When I have seen the results I now have to move back in history in order to leave the Searchalator. BTW, all buttons are working fine for me (Mac OS 10.6.2/Safari...

There is no filter to prevent clogging of the pump?

Louis, I suppose that I lived in a poor environment then... :-) My aunt had a Frigidaire refrigerator that I would have loved to have. It had a two-colour white/yellow door, very unusual. I always associated Frigidaire with refrigerators only and never knew that they also made washers until I...

Ahh Louis, That may be so, but they were rare. I have never seen one in a home, nor in a shop, nor in an advertisement. I have seen them in a laundromat. Pink Maytags (I discovered the brand name later after seeing an old picture of that laundromat). They were actually the first automatic...

There was no choice here... Till the 1960s top loading wringer washers were far more popular than front loaders and I think that this was mainly because of the price. Then, when front loaders became more affordable, the wringer washers quickly disappeared as everyone now wanted to have an...

And it's working with Mac OS 9.2.2 / iCab 3.0.5 and Mac OS 10.4.11 / Safari 4.0.5 too!

It works now for me with Mac OS 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4. Indicator status is remembered after quitting and reopening Safari!

Impressive, but some clean laundry is falling on the floor...

Ditto when using the "Previous" button of the browser.

Safari issues 5 I don't know wether something has changed in the database, but I just found that visited threads now get purple links when using the "Back to Index" button on the page. (Mac OS 10.4.11 / Safari 3.1.2)

Safari issues 4 I have done the same with Mac OS 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.3: no difference. Then I updated with the latest version (4.0.5) of Safari for Mac OS 10.4.11: no difference. The only difference that I have noticed when using the latest version of Safari is in the layout of the page...
