I noticed that Netherlands will be adjusting to William Alexander who will be the first King this country will have since 1890.

And another need-to-know-about-the-Dutch-tip: We eat our fries with mayonaise (or peanutsauce)(or mayonaise, spicy ketchup and onions all at the same time), we have chocolate sprinkles on our sandwich (hagelslag), and we eat herring straight up, headless, but with onions. Curious about the frikandel, kroket, kaassouffle, stamppot, rookworst, bolus, kibbeling and oliebol? Come and eat, we have it all :)
Mario D'hont and the beers ? ;)

April 20, 2013 at 8:30 am The weekly need-to-know-about-the-Dutch-tip: 'Gezelligheid is the Dutch nirvana. Its meaning includes everything from cozy to friendly, from comfortable to relaxing, and from enjoyable to gregarious.' We like 'gezellig', we need 'gezellig', no one else has a word for it. Be 'gezellig' and we will love you!

Alida Engel I am Dutch and now live I the USA, love this word and use it all the time. So sorry I will not be with you guys at the conference. I can't believe we can't schedule our stuttering conferences any better than we have. I am going to Croatia at the end of May and can't afford to wait around for a week for the ISA conference begin. Will miss you all. Alida Engel

What do you expect the ISA to do for you or stuttering in your country?
Brad Straz ISA: Communicate, educate, advocate. Don't delude yourself that you can do more.
I would love to find a cure, but I expect to die with the world still in the same sociopathic state of using the "lower life forms", including the stutterer, as a convenient outlet for their hostilities.
This may be a new concept for many, but the analysis is well thought out and developed. Sociopaths cannot abuse most of the people in their lives as that would risk the loss of their manipulative and parasitic lifestyle, but they feel free to abuse those who cannot supply them with their desired outcomes.

Need-to-know-about-the-Dutch Fact 2: ''Discussing what you earn or how much you spend will elicit far deeper disapproval than admitting what you might get up to in bed''. This could get very interesting during Open Mic sessions...
Norbert Lieckfeldt In my experience neither topic features much in Open Mike sessions...

March 28, 2013 at 11:38 am For the people attending the Worldcongress in the Netherlands: We will provide a useful need-to-know-about the-Dutch-people-tip every week. This week, and very suitable as I might say: ''One of the most original Dutch traits is the tendency to let in a little evil in order to keep the big evil out''. Let a little sweet stutter exist, to keep the big evil stutter out. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil! Join in, early bird till the end of April!!

Brad Straz " Let a little sweet stutter exist, to keep the big evil stutter out.": Very nice saying, and very applicable.
However, I have to add that "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil!" doesn't have anything to do with stuttering, is meaningless regarding stuttering, and is worse than lame as a slogan. Was it only chosen because it includes the word "speak"? What is evil about stuttering? What does "hear" and "see" have to do with anything?
Yes, I can imagine a convoluted reasoning to justify those words, but that phrase is REALLY weak to use as a slogan. Catchy and memorable, but WAY off message.

ISA-Membersmeeting
Welcome to the website of the 10th World Congress for People who Stutter. This event will be organised 10-13 june 2013 in Lunteren, the Netherlands
Harry Dhillon I'm thinking of applying for this. I looked at the web-site yesterday, and the application date is open till April. Does the national association (British Stammering Association in my case) have to do anything to validate my application? Or can I simply submit the application myself? I have massive plans for what I want to do in the stuttering world :-)
February 12, 2013 at 10:30 pm
International Stuttering Association You have to have a written letter (or email) from the BSA to apply, but that's usually easy to get if your intentions are ok :) The BSA board has to give it for you to speak for them within ISA, so just ask and I'm sure it'll work out. ISA is really looking for boardmembers, please join!
