This is really a tragic story of course but it sort of asks the question “what do you do after reaching a lifelong goal?” Clearly for someone who has bowled as long as this guy (45 years on the same team?) bowling a perfect game had to be a life long goal. But to reach it and then have a heart attack and die? Wow. That’s too much.
Yep, it is too late to get me to change my mind. I will be out of town on election day so yesterday I went to town hall, picked up an absentee ballot and I voted. And I’ve never been so worried about my vote in my life. And mind you this was the 10th time I have voted in a presidential election.
It doesn’t matter who I voted for either. I’d be just as worried about it no matter which candidate I voted for. in fact I seriously considered not voting at all. And at the last minute I thought about voting for a third party candidate just so I could say “I didn’t vote for him” no matter who won. Neither candidate really gets me excited. Both candidates scare me in different ways. So I held my nose and picked one that I hope will be better than the other. Not a good way to feel.
And this went down the ballot. For Senate, for House. Well Governor was ok. Really local stuff like State Senate was ok – though I could still wish for better. State Rep was fine but I didn’t vote for as many as I could. I voted for the people I know something about.
Well we’ll see. During the next President’s watch the economy will get better or not. If it gets better they will likely get reelected. If it doesn’t get better they will likely serve only one term. Even though it is not likely to be them that makes the difference. We’ll be out of Iraq or we will not. Again, despite the best of intentions I’m not all that sure that who is President will make that much of a difference.
The President’s job is largely about perceptions. And persuasion. When Teddy Roosevelt called the Presidency a “bully pulpit” he did not mean a place where one could “bully” people or force them. Rather he meant that is was a great platform to use to try to persuade people. “Bully” was a way he say “good”. A lot of people get the idiom wrong these days and miss interpret what he meant. But he was right. The power of persuasion is key in a president. We’ll see how the next president does with that. The last three we’ve had were not so good at it in my opinion.
In any case, my vote is cast and now it is wait and see what happens next. Don’t forget to vote.
Do the words liberal and conservative really mean anything in politics these days? Or like words to the Mad Hatter do they mean what ever the speaker wants them to mean in a particular context? I really think so.
It used to me that a liberal wanted to change things while a conservative wanted to maintain the status quo. Or in some cases a conservative was someone who wanted to move things back to the way they were after they had been changed. In other words liberals had their eyes on the future and conservatives in the past. Over time in politics a liberal was someone who wanted to spend more money on social services and a conservative was someone who wanted to avoid that. Conservative in the vernacular thought social services were best left up to charity and religion. Note that all major religions have this notion of charity and taking care of the poor and unfortunate. So in a sense liberal meant changing how we take care of people while conservative meant keeping it the same.
Some of that is still true today but increasingly liberal seems to mean in favor of more government and conservative means less government. But by my reasoning that means that both major parties at liberal. Both want more control by government – they disagree on what things to control though. Both want to spend my money on their pet projects. Both want to stick the government’s nose into things it may not belong in. Can you say "Iraq?"
The old joke is that the Republicans want to steal from the middle class and give to the rich and the Democrats want to steal from the middle class (and occasionally the rich) and give to the poor. So who you vote for depends on if you aspire to be rich or poor. Feels true a lot of the time but neither play directly on how I view the words liberal and conservative. They have no meaning in that joke.
I believe in charity and taking care of people. I would prefer a faith-based way to do that because I think it involves more emotional support and less overhead. But at the same time I realize that that is no longer practical in our secular society. So I want to see government taking more of a role in health care and unemployment and some similar issues. I’m pro-choice on education. That’s a very conservative notion these days involving things like vouchers, charter schools and other ways of providing government funds but less government control. But at the same time I support public education not only through taxes but though donations to public schools and making sure my son can continue to live a good life and afford to teach in public schools on a teacher’s pay. Liberal or conservative? Does it matter? Is the label helpful or distracting from the issue? I vote for distracting.
I want all men to be treated equally. I see that as a religious idea. Visit a Catholic church in an ethnically diverse area and the mix of people will amaze you. They do it better than most Protestant churches much to my sadness. Like wise the Moslem community seems to be able to ignore racial and ethnic divides at least among Moslems of the same sub faith. We need more of that between faiths of course. I see that as a conservative notion because it harkens back the the early church while some see that as a liberal notion because it is a change from the church of the last few hundreds of years. Does it matter which label one applies? Is it even healthy to the goal to apply a label? I think not.
Conservative/liberal & Republican/Democrat are tribal labels. We join (or are born into) a tribe and that is our name. The other tribe is wrong so using the other label on people in an attack. The worst of this is that it removes granularity. It blocks the possibility of ad hock groupings of people united for something that benefits everyone. If the tribe leadership decides something is good or bad the members have to put aside their own beliefs and go along with the leadership. That may have been appropriate at one time but clearly is not today. And yet it is the reality.
But in a discussion those labels serve as a block to clarity and adds an ambiguity that is unhelpful. Ideas should not be seen as liberal or conservative (nor should people) but as what they are. Sure there is a context in society and I am not saying that ideas live in isolation. What I am saying is that those labels only detract from understanding and, dare I use the word, truth. I would prefer to avoid them when possible.
Periodically I get Facebook friend requests from people who were students of mine at BG. Today was one such day. I have to say that hearing from students really makes my day. As a teacher we see kids leave all the time and wonder what happens to them. It’s that old “I shot an arrow into the air” thing.
In times past I suspect teachers heard from far fewer students especially more than a few years after graduation. The Internet changes that at least for teachers (or former teachers) who are available on the Internet.
Sit in an airport listening them call the boarding of flights and think that they sounded more interesting then where you were going?
Get in your car to run an errand and think about just driving on and seeing where you wound up?
Wonder what it would be like to live in a completely different part of the country or the world?

Tonight at 9:30pm the TfL Banterthon will commence as RMT Station Staff walk out over recent proposals to close ticket offices.
Expect travel chaos in the capital for 48 hours as all London Underground lines operates with an extremely reduced service.
Rather kindly, Ian, from IanVisits has produced THIS MAP, summarising the paragraphs of texts released by TfL regarding what lines will run.
As you can see, some lines fare worse than others, and this is in part dictated by the number of stations TfL have considered to be important and safe enough to keep open by the remaining working station staff. Good news perhaps for those who live in Upminster and work in the city as it appears the District Line will be stopping at nowhere whatsoever – a marked improvement on it’s usual lumbering offering. (In fact this is because both Barking and Upminster are owned by Network Rail and not TfL).
If you’re a commuter on the Northern Line, it looks like you’ve mostly gotten away with it. However, bare in mind that it is likely to become (a jammed packed) hub for both commuters in the north (being displaced from the Central, Piccadilly and Victoria Lines) as well as it’s usual messy self south of the river too.
The Piccadilly Line will remain open for all of 3 stations on it’s northern end, for all those millions travelling between Cockfosters and Arnos Grove… so good news there. Most stations in the city have been closed alltogether with the Central Line operating no further than Leytonstone and White City. Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road appear to be the only two stations that will remain open in the centre of town. So my advice here is: Don’t even bother, they’re going to be absolutely heaving. Best bet is getting yourself to one the national rail termini and finishing the rest of the journey on foot.
If you want to spend the day slowly moving about the east end then the DLR will be providing a full service as normal, and of course the Overground and National Rail services are unaffected as well.
Plan well, suss out alternative routes using nearby national rail services or bus routes but bare in mind these are likely to be busier than normal. Parking at any of these hubs is likely to be few and far between so it might be difficult driving part of the way as well. Parkopedia however is an excellent website which usually lists car parking prices, and on-street restrictions around the capital. CityMapper is also an excellent (and Free!) iPhone/Android app that provides real time updates of all the most useful information: Bus times and routes, tube and national rail departure times, cycle hire points as well as maps and multiple routing options too. Leave extra time for both journeys and consider staying in town later than usual and having a pint and waiting for (some) of the rush to blow over.
I hear there are boats as well?

Wollongong store syndicate celebrates Cashcade win!
There are ten happy Monday & Wednesday Lotto players in Wollongong today after their System 9 division two syndicate entry won a total of $529,951.30, or $52,995.14 per share, in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw!
Thanks to NSW Lotteries’ Cashcades promotion, the $1 million division one prize was cascaded down to division two and shared among the division two winning entries – boosting their regular division two prize. This resulted in the ten players sharing in an additional $500,000!
The ten syndicate members were part of a division two winning store syndicate sold at Centretown Newsagency, Shop 1, 143 Crown Street in Wollongong.
One of the ten syndicate members, a hard working single mum, was gobsmacked when she realised the store syndicate ticket she was holding had won her almost $53,000!
“I’m still in shock – I just can’t believe it!” the excited mum of three exclaimed.
The winner said she often plays Monday & Wednesday Lotto but bought the syndicate share because she saw the Cashcades promotion.
“I saw the poster for Cashcades and thought the odds were pretty good as there isn’t always a division one winner,” she explained.
“This couldn’t have come at a better time!” Maria Colla is the owner of Centretown Newsagency and was thrilled to have sold the Cashcade winning syndicate for ten excited customers.
“Wow! This is fantastic news!” Ms Colla exclaimed.
“The first thing I noticed when we got the results and saw that we had sold a division two winning syndicate in Cashcades.
“This is great news for our customers! This was an extra syndicate we set up just for the Cashcades promotion so it’s very exciting!
Throughout Australia, there were two division two winning entries in Monday Lotto draw 3652. Along with the winning NSW Lotteries syndicate, the other division two winning entry was purchased in Victoria.
Monday & Wednesday Lotto offers a guaranteed $1 million division one prize for up to four winners in every draw.
The six winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 3652 on Monday 17 April 2017 were 25, 38, 43, 21 and 30. The supplementary numbers were 14 and 22.

Ask a spectator to hold out their hand and make a closed fist. Pull out a marker and draw an ‘X’ on the center of your palm and close it into a fist. Now without any rubbing, erasing or funny business, you slowly open your hand and reveal your X is COMPLETELY GONE. Now ask the spectator to open their hand - THE X IS ON THEIR PALM!
Ask them to try to rub away the X - they can’t! It’s Sharpie ink! Tell them not to worry though - it's safe and nontoxic and can be washed away easily with soap and water.
Because there's no difficult sleights, you'll sail through the routine. You're so far ahead the spectators will never remember you coming near them or even touching them. The result is a unique magic effect that’s self-contained, has NO reset, and can be performed surrounded. Its a table hopper's dream.

So if we just for argument’s sake say that there is a Creator who made this world, including its plants and animals and human beings, with land and water, atmosphere and solar system, stars, moons, and planets within the entire galaxy and universe, then it would be logical that he made each item with a purpose. He set up laws that this universe abides by such as the law of gravity: what goes up, must come down. There are many others, but that’s the easiest one for us to recognize. At the same time there are moral laws for those beings that contain a moral code embedded deep within them, specifically: humans. The easiest of these to look at would be the Ten Commandments.
Now, let’s take the natural law first and let’s say we were playing a little pepper. We take the baseball and throw it up so we can hit a soft grounder to first base. But when we throw it up it never comes back down. There it hung, right in front of our eyes, never falling. We’d just stare at it in bewilderment trying to figure out how the law of gravity just got broken. Meanwhile, our son, who’s waiting for the grounder shouts out, “What’s wrong!?” The ball is what’s wrong. It has broken the law of gravity. As long as the ball goes up and comes down, it’s in the right. We could say that it’s a righteous ball. But the moment the ball stays in the air and will not come down, it is in the wrong. It’s unrighteous. It’s a wicked ball.
Let’s go back to the moral law. God has given us, for argument’s sake, ten moral laws to abide by. Do not have any other gods before Him, don’t make any idol, do not take his name in vain, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, honor our parents, don’t kill, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, and don’t covet. As long as we are obedient to those laws, we are in the right. We could be considered righteous. But the moment we break one of those laws we are in the wrong. We are unrighteous, or a synonym would be that we are wicked.
So the moment that we cheat off of someone’s test in school we have stolen answers. The moment that we lust after a woman or man, we have committed adultery according to Jesus. The moment we get angry with someone we commit murder in the heart, according to Jesus. The moment we find someone or something that we love more than God we commit idolatry. The moment that we say, OMG, we have taken God’s name in vain. So there is no denying that in some way we have all broken a moral law, and thus in some way we have all been shown to be unrighteous.
God has said, this is the right way to live. This is the right way to go about your life, and He gave us his laws. When we do not go in the way He has commanded, we prove that we are unrighteous.
Once we are unrighteous, there’s no going back, at least not on our own. Imagine eating spaghetti in a white shirt. You drop a meatball on the shirt and stain it. Later on you take the shirt off and throw it in the dirty laundry. A couple of days later, you’re sorting your clothes to wash them, and you see your white shirt. It still has the stain on it!! How can this be!? The shirt has no ability on its own to remove the stain. An outside agent, you with a bottle of bleach, must remove the stain for the shirt.
So it is with us. We are stained, forever stained in the wrong, unrighteousness, wickedness. We have no way of removing that stain on our own. It doesn’t matter how hard we try to obey the rest of the laws. It doesn’t matter how much we try to make it up to God. We are forever stained. Our record of unrighteousness follows us everywhere we go, just like a prison record. It cannot be expunged on our own.
But what if there was someone on the outside, who came and took the stain away? Who could expunge our record of unrighteousness? There is, and that’s why we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. As we look at Romans 3.21-26 these next few days, we will see exactly how it all has come about.

August 06, 2017 by Kinetic Kids, Inc.
Wetting the bed, or struggling with a type of incontinence known as nocturnal enuresis, is a common problem in pediatrics. A study looking at the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis in school-age children, found an “overall prevalence of…9.52%”. It is more prevalent in girls (12.4% in girls; 6.5% in boys) 1. Often, this is not the only symptom that appears for the child. A child who has nighttime accidents may also have problems with constipation. In fact, this study found that 13.2% of children with nocturnal enuresis had constipation as well1. Another study by Fernandez-Ibieta et al. quotes that “33-56% of dysfunctional voiders are constipated” 2. Enuresis also affects school performance1. A child’s participation in school can affect their overall quality of life, because it adds to the stress they experience, it can negatively affect friendships, adding embarrassment to their life, or even just keeping them out of the classroom for a longer amount of time due to toileting needs.
Why Can’t My Child Control Their Bladder?
Nighttime accidents, as well as other types of incontinence, are often described as a type of dysfunctional voiding. This term refers to the dysfunctional pattern of control and activation of the muscles of the pelvic floor. In particular, the “external urethral sphincter” is a muscle that normally contracts to clamp the bladder shut, but with dysfunctional voiding, it “contracts during voiding” leading to a difficulty initiating or sustaining a flow of urine. Symptoms that may be seen in your child are difficulty initiating a flow of urine, incomplete emptying of the bladder, nocturnal enuresis or accidents, daytime accidents, or even urinary tract infections.
Physical therapy services can assist in retraining your child’s pelvic floor muscles to contract at the right time and at the right amount to make toileting more comfortable and to help work towards less bed-wetting. Biofeedback tools are often used in order to determine exactly how and when your child’s muscles are contracting, and for the child to be able to see on the screen how to relax those muscles in order to aid in toileting. It is important to work with your child with a “nonaccusatory approach” when working towards less bed-wetting and to improve their control for toileting. It is also useful to keep a toileting log. This will help keep track of how many times a child should be going to the bathroom each day. It is recommended to go to the bathroom every 2-3 hours. Along with a toileting schedule, you can build in “a reward system” for your child3. Dysfunctional voiding or enuresis can be caused in some cases by psychosocial effects, such as stress, for example. Addressing the behavioral side of your child’s toileting in a positive way can help to alleviate these stressors that may be adding to nighttime accidents.
Physical Therapy services are helpful in re-training the pelvic floor musculature, which can help to improve toileting and bladder control, leading to less bed-wetting. If your child struggles with incontinence or nighttime accidents, consider scheduling an initial evaluation here at the clinic.

NEW YORK -- Disney Interactive Media Group has unveiled original Web series targeting an influential demographic -- moms.
Margie Gilmore, vice president of online originals, told a group of media buyers gathered for a Digital Content NewFront presentation Thursday at SoHo House that the shows strive to remain true to the Walt Disney Co.'s heritage of storytelling -- while offering an honest, open and authentic voice that some within the company found "a little uncomfortable."
"There's not a lot of pixie dust in the world of parenting," Gilmore said. "We have to strike a balance between being Disney and being relevant and real."
The new digital shows build on Disney's considerable portfolio of assets targeting moms, including Babble Media, with its extensive roster of mommy bloggers dispensing parenting advice, and iParenting Media, which operates a network of websites geared to parents.
One series, "Moms of," features interviews with the mothers of accomplished athletes, musicians, inventors and teachers. One vignette Disney screened focused on 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, whose mother, Shonda Ingram, advises, "As mothers we don't have all the answers ... you just have to keep fighting and working hard to raise your child."
Other shows, "That's Fresh" and "Thinking Up," fall into the self-help category -- leavened with humor. The cooking show is hosted by Chef Helen Cavallo, who describes herself as "50% Italian, 50% Colombian and I'm 100% New York." Each episode features one fresh ingredient that can be prepared in multiple ways.
"Moms are looking for answers. 'What's for dinner?' 'How can I feed my kids in healthy ways, in the time that I have?'" said Gilmore, who was an executive producer for Food Network. "We're working with the irresistible Helen Cavallo. ... She's so funny and so warm, and she's the kind of person the kids won't look away from, and the moms won't look away from."
Television personality and author of "Courtney's Creative Adventurers," Courtney Watkins, hosts "Thinking Up" -- which provides imaginative children's activities, drawing from her eclectic background as a teacher of kindergarten and art and a designer of jewelry, murals and greeting cards.
"Courtney is like no one else I've ever met -- an embodiment in how to be a creative adventurer with and for your kids," Gilmore said. "She's a mom who can so easily access what it means to be 8 or 9 years old."
As with other media companies, Disney indulged in a bit of celebrity sizzle: comedian Ali Wentworth filmed an episode of "Daily Shot" -- a show mixing news, celebrity gossip and topical issues sprinkled with wit -- at SoHo House, instead of its typical setting at her kitchen table.
"As you can see, we're not in my kitchen," Wentworth joked in her opening. "I'm here with a bunch of really really close friends, some family, some in-laws. ..."

I am starting a new post series on The Editor's Touch blog because I get to meet so many amazing business owners ... people who are getting sh*t done and who inspire me to keep on going! If you are just starting out or need some motivation or a reminder of how hard we all work ... where we came from ... or why you fell in love with your craft - I think it helps to hear from other boss babes and entrepreneurs who are doing the same thing too!
Walk us through a traditional work week for you: time you start, do you eat lunch? time you try to end?
I wake up at 5:36am, go to pilates from 6-7am, shower and then pretty much get started as soon as Jimmy leaves for work at 7:40am. Most of the time I forget to eat. My work day revolves around my dogs' sleeping schedule as well haha.
- Fridays: a half order day - get the rest of the orders done or any orders that came in after Tues. The rest is completing any other projects for weddings.
All days I have some designing, emailing, blog prepping, social media planning, etc. to keep up on as well. But that's the jist.
If you could only use ONE social media platform which one would you keep and why?
I would have to say Instagram. I love it because it's photo-based, but also because it's where I get the most business from! I love that I can post photos, videos and stories and Instagram makes it easy for people to share your posts with other people.
What is your biggest frustration in the business owner 'world' right now and what's your answer to pushing through anyway?
People undervaluing your work. As an artist, there's no bigger slap in the face then when people don't realize how much time, love and work went into the pieces you deliver. I've been seeing and experiencing that more and more lately with all types of vendors - hair and makeup, florists, photographers, etc. My answer to push through from that is to find the people who appreciate your talents and stick with them. If you have a gut feeling that you're going to end up disappointed after working with them, then just say no to that project. Find the people who truly appreciate your work.
What are the 3 most celebrated times you've had as a business owner?
My first invitation set! It was AWFUL, like, so embarrassing now. But I was so honored that someone actually trusted me with their wedding invitations. To this day, I still feel honored when clients hire me for their wedding!
Why paper and calligraphy? How did you fall in love with it all?
I took a workshop about four years ago and just fell in love with it. I went home, practiced for days and called my mom saying, "this is what I want to do". I've always made cards for people ever since I can remember, but never thought of that or anything art-related as a career. I've always loved pretty paper goods, but now being able to design, write, paint or print on it, I just fall in love with it all over again with every project.
What 2 things could your business never succeed without?
Networking and strong relationships for sure! I don't know what I would do without my little group of vendors that gives me advice, listens to me vent, lends a helping hand, etc. It's so amazing to build relationships with other vendors because 1) it's great to have people to refer and 2) to have people to chat with because they're in the same industry and are probably going through or have dealt with the same ups and downs as you. They also constantly inspire me to be the best I can be and give wonderful ideas that end up helping in building my business. I love when other vendors say "oh my gosh I was just looking at your shop, have you ever thought about this??" and it gets my wheels turning into new ideas all the time!
My business could also never survive without my website. Heather is not paying me to say this neither did she ask me to and is probably going to make me write something else but I'm so serious. Literally the other day I got a comment saying "oh my gosh I just looked at your site for 2 seconds and I NEED you for my wedding!". Having my website re-vamped, totally optimized and searchable, and with a professional homepage that is totally branded gives you a serious business-confidence boost. When Heather did my site originally, it made me feel like I could really do "this whole running my business thing" and it motivated me to keep getting better. Having a website that you are able to show people and be proud of is #1.
Don't Go Yet!! This Blog Has Lots of Gems!

Last weekend I had a lovely start to the week! We had booked a Sunday Group Getaway at the Brooklands Hotel, for £110 each (based on 4 sharing). For that price: One night accommodation in a two bedroom suite, one treatment each (we all had the back massage), use of the spa facilities, use of bathrobes and slippers, afternoon tea, breakfast and a 2pm late check out. I think it was such a good deal, and we booked it over six weeks ago.
We arrived just after check in (about 3.30pm), and the room was ready. The room was huge, one of the biggest I’ve ever stayed in! One bedroom had a double bed, the other two singles, each had a big bathroom, there was a desk/office area, a living room area with sofa and TV, and a big table with six chairs plus our own huge decking area outside with table and chairs – which overlooked the racetrack!
Our treatment was actually booked on the first day, so we all rushed down to the spa and had our twenty five minute back massage each (massages are always so nice and relaxing right?). The spa part was unusually busy, so all the chairs and beds were taken and the hot tub was full. We also wasn’t feeling the sauna and steam room (unusually placed in the changing room). So we headed back to our huge room, and just sat in our robes and slippers and chilled on the deck. We had bought our own prosecco, snacks and small bites to eat. Also to note – there is no pool here.
The hotel is actually next to/inside Mercedes Benz world, so I had great fun watching people drive and race around the track. That ended at 6pm, so it wasn’t at all noisy in the evening, it was very peaceful and relaxing.
We had a very late night, also random point, the bed was so soft, like sleeping on a marshmallow (bit too soft for all of us).
The next day we had breakfast (the lovely thing was it was served until 11!), there was a whole mini room of food on offer! One side was full English (mmm fried bread!) and the other was continental, there was juices too, and we had hot drinks to the table. It was very tasty, and the restaurant wasn’t too busy.
We also had decided we was getting a go in the hot tub before we left, so we changed and headed back to the spa. It was delightfully empty and quiet up there. We think everyone had left for room check out but as we had the late one, we was all good! So we claimed a round comfy bed, and chilled for a bit. The hot tub is outside but underneath a ceiling/awning and watched the cars (all Mercedes) and then got into the hot tub. So luxurious on a Monday morning/afternoon and I had no Monday blues that week!
We spent a while here, ( so much nicer and calmer without loads of people) I did want to go to The Meditation Room (it was a twenty minute slot, but had to be pre-booked). So back to the room, (the showers was also very nice and powerful!) and changed. Packed and ready for afternoon tea.
The restaurant was basically empty, but they took a while to bring the drinks and food out. It was nice, but I’ve had a lot better. The top tier of cakes etc, they were all too sweet and none of us managed to try everything. My favourite was the chocolate and caramel shortcake, but after that I had enough sugar.
Overall we had a great time, the room was amazing, the Monday at the spa part was great, the deal was definitely worth doing and we all wished it had been a two night stay. They do have other deals on at the moment, so for a treat for you and friends, I would recommend it!
Last year a friend treated me to a two night UK break. It was a special birthday for me (the big 30!), and so she had booked it as a present.
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE hotels! This one was amazing – it was a converted prison! Well it was a castle, into a prison, into a hotel!
I took way too many photos of the room, as you can see! But all the little details was amazing – the carpet, the drawers, even the keepsake toiletries was amusing. (Forgot to take photo sadly). There was several different room options. We stayed in the main block, we think they had knocked down three cells and made one room.
It really was a unique hotel, very boutique and also quiet! We went on a Thursday and Friday last June. The lobby was pretty, there was restaurants and bars.
You could also wonder round the grounds, and see more of the history and castle. On the bottom floor, was even a replica of an old cell room! There was also restaurants and bars right in the shadow of the hotel. Highly recommend the wine bar just out the front – 1855 Oxford.
The location was great, right in the middle of the city. We walked everywhere. Whilst we was there we visited the Ashmolean Museum, had a pub lunch along the river, lots of nice food, went into the one of the smallest pubs and also managed to go on a punting boat! We hired one just for half hour, with one guy doing the punting. It’s cliché and touristy – but we enjoyed it! It was surprisingly calming and relaxing, but we wasn’t there in high season.
I know I love holidays abroad, and I’m addicted to looking and planning future trips. But sometimes to break the year up, its nice to explore other parts of our country! Oxford was pretty, and felt very historic with all the university’s over town.
But the hotel was just amazing, a real find on my friends behalf! Even if you could stay one night, it’s well worth it! Look up Malmaison Oxford.
Last September we went to Funchal in Madeira for five nights. A little chilled out holiday instead of a busy busy city break.
I prefer small individual hotels, so chose the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel, it was so nice! It had recently had been updated, and had improvements. (they told us at reception!). Our hotel rate included breakfast. we also got a free upgrade to a suite and a free day pass to the spa each!
The hotel had a rooftop pool, bar/café and hot tub. It was lovely with great views! (see the first photo).
We went down the front where the port was, and went on the cable cars. It was mad, as at the bottom it was all sunny, then as you climbed up the mountain it was all cloudy! Unfortunately there had been fires a few weeks before, and you could see a lot of the damage on the mountain. We paid for a round trip, there was also single rides available.
Whilst we was there, we discovered the annual Wine Festival was on! this was such an added bonus. They had all wooden shacks from different companies where you could taste the madeira wines, some for as little as $2. One evening there was live music, there was displays everywhere about the history and making of the wine.
I even tried a cocktail – in a bag!
We also went on a tour to Blandys – a Maderian wine lodge in the centre of town. This was $5.90 each, lasted 45 minutes and you got two samples!! Definitely recommended and how cheap?! Just make sure you book the tour in the correct language for you. We just walked up and booked a tour for later that day.
Also because I thought we would get bored chilling a lot (which we didn’t end up doing that much anyway), I had pre-booked a tour with Viator. It was the Madeira’s cliffs and valleys open top jeep tour.
This was really cool, I’ve never seen such steep hills – literally felt like we was in the clouds at one point. No wonder you need a jeep! Also really wish I had bought my hoodie! Was just a different way to see the island, and saw some great views.
Madeira was a really nice island, we had some great food, the weather was lovely, and it just felt like nice pace of life, its nice to get away from the rush of a city.

Paradigm Ti SE... Overpriced Hype or Legit?
Discussion in 'Safety Razors' started by Str8on2, Nov 24, 2018.
Yes, $400 bills is step. However, perspective is beautiful. Maybe look at the insane price this way... wife or girlfriend gets hair colored every month for $100. 4 months = razor (not including tip). Huge difference here though, you can sell the razor sometimes below purchase price or make a profit. Good luck doing g that with Goldilocks.
You can also sell the women sometimes below purchase price or make a profit depending.
Beautiful razor Gus. Thanks for the detailed report. Enjoy!

I received mine about three weeks ago. I have to agree with Gus' report. My shaves have gotten progressively better and smoother as I have refined my technique. It certainly is a gorgeous razor and I feel good shaving with it. I have two other razors that I also like; the Rex Ambassador and the OneBlade V2. The OnBlade suits my skin/face superbly. I get very comfortable and close shaves. The Rex is also a very smooth shaver and I like the adjustability. Very close and smooth shaves are achievable with the Rex and the grip can't be beat. If you beat me into submission and I had to choose just one of those razors it would be a tough choice.
I'd like to add to my previous comments.
For many people, aesthetics is an important element of their collection choices. I have pipes that are hand carved and beautiful to look at and hold. In all honesty, they do not smoke appreciably better than pipes I have that cost far less. And all watches give you the time, but that 1948 Omega my sons bought me for my 70th birthday is something special (my birth year). Any watch collector will tell you the same thing.
Something beautiful, a perfect blend of form and function, transcends its intended use. And now that we're in the "Golden Age" of razors, artisans are producing some remarkable razors, some are much more than shaving tools.
So if it's something unique and singularly appealing to you, go for it. And enjoy it.

Thats too bad about the poor packaging. I dont personally purchase high end razors, but If you are spending that kind of money you are not wrong for expecting a better presentation IMO. It plays a huge roll in creating that "luxury" feel you mentioned (take THB as a example) and can create atomsphere ir mystique around the product itself.
Got shave 2 in yesterday evening with the Paradigm. Decided to switch out the Kai Titan Pink and go with a Schick Proline on it’s first use. Did my normal shower and prep and got on with the shave. I happened to receive a shipment today of a new soap for me, Lisa’s Natural Herbal Creations, Amber & Tobacco and Haute Leather. It was Haute Leather that was up for the shave and it was on.
Except for the soap, I changed nothing else in terms of how I was going to shave and attack the whiskers. I went with the same ATG/XTG hybrid passes as it seemed to work well with the initial shave. I have to say that the Proline was a nice step up in shave feel and performance. The first ATG pass knocked down quite a bit of the stubble. The Lisa’s soap provided a nice, creamy lather that was protective and yielded a nice smooth glide for the razor while still having some residual slickness that allowed a quick repass or two on a couple of spots. Very nice. The scent was nice, not strong or overpowering with a leather and like a hand lotion type and a light earthy undertone scent that was pleasant and played well together. The second pass XTG hybrid was just as good as the first and pretty much cleaned up anything that was left behind from the first pass. The razor is incredibly smooth and mild yet has a nice efficiency to it and it felt better with the blade change. Finished my 2 passes with a quality, near BBS finish minus a tough spot on Sir Adam. Always a challenge there for any razor. I don’t chase Sir Adam much, a quick pass or two and what I get, that’s what I get. A quick cold water splash and face rub and I was good to go. The Lisa’s gave a nice post shave feel that left my face nicely hydrated and soft. Good performance for a first timer and the accolades that this soap has garnered are pretty much well deserved and earned imo.
Now, I’m writing this at about 6:30 in the morning and my shave was at about 7 pm last night and I already have a light, steady growth of stubble appearing where it usually comes back first with all my shaves, the jawline. The 5 O’Clock shadow was nearly in. Not patches but, uniform stubble that leads up to just about below my ear lobe and very light growth on both of the burns. I noticed this also on my first shave with the Kai that I had a very quick grow back of stubble and had my shadow within 7 hours of the shave. I find this perplexing as I felt both shaves were quality shaves and left my skin clear of hair and any stragglers. Neither shave has given me a single nic, cut, weeper nor any irritation to speak of but, I’m not getting the quality of longevity that I would normally get associated with a quality shave from others like the Vector, El Jefe, SS/Brass General and the Claymore. I won’t mention the Rx as there are only 1 or 2 that I’ve mentioned here that can nearly match it on shave quality and longevity. Then again, on the milder feeling razors I practically use Feather Pro Supers exclusively to give me the results that I get from the more efficient/aggressive razors. I think I’ll give a Proline another shave and see how that works out and if the results are the same then, it’s time to step it up with the Howitzer of AC Blades, the Feather Pro Super.

I use the Proline in mine and get the results you have described. Love this razor.
$400. I'm going with HYPE. Let's be honest here, that razor will not shave you any better than a $25-75 SE razor, will it look great in SOTD pictures? Yeah.
The only real question is do you like it? Do you think it's hype or legit?
I became the new owner today of this new SE that came into the market a little over 2 weeks ago. Honestly, during the prototype stages I was intrigued by the design and it actually looked pleasing at the time. I had geared up for the past few months and had the green light from the Misses on acquiring one once it was released to the wet shaving public. Unfortunately, big surprise when I saw the actual production version as it did not look similar to the prototype that had been shown during a brief pass around. Huge bummer and ballon of expectations was popped. Yet, I still followed around some of the other forums and read shave reports that it was an excellent shaver that was both smooth and mild but, with very good efficiency. My curiosity was piqued again and I was drawn back in.
No question that this razor is designed like a high end sports car, it's really sharp looking. How does the top cap work? Does it slide?
And the A&E soap/aftershave combo are just superb. Really good stuff with a great scent (Creed Aventus clone of the fruitier batches) that is in your face but, very pleasing and masculine.
koenfucius, Flyingbald, DesertTime and 2 others like this.
I’ve completed my initial shave with the Ti SE earlier this morning and these are my early thoughts and impressions of this razor.
First, the razor has a very nice high quality finish, fit and feel to it. It does not come in a high end box or a package as you would see with say a Timeless, Blackland or Charcoal Goods of this price range but, I’m not going to shave with a box. Packaging is another issue that I will get to later in this initial review. I found it to be not heavy nor light, but just about right in the hands in terms of balance. As you know it’s a 2 piece design with a sliding top cap and 2 spring loading ball ends to assist in clamping and removing the cap for blade insertion, removal and clean up. Very nice design that is simple to use and execute all in one hand. Very precise with an action that delivers a crisp and solid operating mechanism.
I decided to start off my shave with an ATG pass as Andy from Paradigm had mentioned in a couple of other forums that the razor excelled with that approach. So I loaded a blade, a Kai Captain Mild Pink, lathered up and started it off. I went from South to North from the bottom of my neck to the burns and East to West and vice versa from the bottom of my chin to end of Sir Adam as the hairs here kind of swirl and grow sideways a bit. On the initial stroke the handle felt a bit awkward as a started my pass but, eventually it became a bit easier to use and became more natural as the shave progressed to a completed 2 pass ATG/XTG shave.
The feel was very smooth and mild on the skin with an excellent feeling glide as if glass was being pressed against my face. The angle was quite easy to find and maintain but, I felt as though it wasn’t shaving as a traditional AC styled razor does. It felt more like a cross between a DE and GEM style type of shave if that makes sense as I actually held the head as if it were a MMOC or Clog Pruf, just not as flat and pushed up against ones face as you would with those two. Blade feel was minimal but, efficient with shorter strokes as I wasn’t sure if it clogged easily with lather and hair. I didn’t have to worry as the shave went on as the lather slot underneath the guard did a very good job of channeling the excess lather and cut hair without having to rinse on every stroke. Like I said, I was done in 2 passes and nearly left me with a BBS finish that was nic, cut and irritation free. It was easy to maneuver around ones face and worked into the corners of the mouth with ease. Not as easy to throw around as say the Vector or a OneBlade but, in the ballpark and similar in execution.
In a nutshell, it performed very well on it’s first time outing without a single incident from start to finish. Did it give me an amazingly and breathtakingly $400 shave like no other razor has before or at present? No but, again this is the first shave and one really has to get in a few shaves before making a declaration of such magnitude. Is it comparable with some of the better shaves I’ve given myself? Absolutely and it did it with ease and supreme comfort. Though, I will say that I did feel like I got a closer first shave with the Vector the first time I used it as compared to this first shave with the Paradigm Ti. We’ll see on quality and longevity as to where they both stack up as the day progresses.
As I had mentioned before, I did have an issue with how I had received the razor. Like I have stated, i don’t care if a razor is shipped in an oak finished, polyurethane coated and brass or gold accented presentation box. That is not the point that I’m trying to get here. The razor came in a simple blue box with quality foam inserts that are cut to fit the razor. That is fine and acceptable in my book. My issue comes with the way the item was processed, prepared and packed for shipment to be delivered halfway across the country. See the pics below and judge for yourselves..
Really? A nearly $400 razor shipped in an air mailer bubble envelope? You have to be joking, Gus? Nope, and I wish I were. Granted, the item made it intact with no damage but the box had 2 dented corners and a corner that had split down the length on both the top and bottom of the box. This and this alone was completely unacceptable in my eyes for a product that is marketed as an ultra high end and luxurious heirloom quality piece. When I saw that split and dented corners, I was like “No way, the razor is done!” For a few seconds I was in panic mode. Fortunately it was good to go. I’ve seen better protection and packaging from The Dollar Shave Club here Gents.
We have all seen the packaging from the likes of Timeless, Blackland, Charcoal Goods, Wolfman with their very precisely packaged items and the elegantly made presentations that their works are packed in. They all give you the experience of receiving an item that is of high quality and superb craftsmanship that in you’re mind you think this is excellence and luxury at it’s finest. Hell, we don’t even have to go to such heavy hitters when it comes to this topic. Look at Rockwell with their packaging and presentation. Or even Q-Shave with it’s Parthenon razor and a nice elegant presentation. I believe this could have been done immensely better, at least with packaging it properly and securely. Maybe I’m wrong in this whole deal but, I deemed it worthy of bringing this situation to Andy over at Paradigm and I vehemently but, respectfully stated in my email that this was not acceptable for such a high end item to be treated and shipped as an afterthought.
Well, those are my feelings anyway. Am I right? Or am I over exaggerating and blowing this thing out of proportion? My apologies as I just had to get this out there Gents. Sorry for the late rant.

2017 marks 50 years since the formation of Lee Valley Regional Park.
Large parts of the park have been transformed from industrial wastelands, derelict sites and even rubbish dumps, and the park is now a collection of outstanding open spaces and wonderful world class sports venues. It is home to a vast array of birds, wildlife and plants and is a valued green space which now attracts more than six million visits a year.
A programme of walks and cycle rides has been undertaken for many years – helping people to connect with the park, aimed at those with an interest in birds, wildlife, industrial heritage and the history of the valley. In addition the walks have health and social benefits for the participants.
This year we are running an expanded programme for the 50th anniversary in 2017 which will be be run with the help of volunteers.

In recent years, more people are turning to plastic surgeons. This became possible due to the fact that this area of medicine is rapidly developing. Plastic surgery allows you to correct almost any deficiency in the appearance of a person. Until recently, the bulk of clients of surgical clinics were rich people, celebrities, actors and actresses, singers and singers. Now, with the development of the market, plastic surgeons can afford almost everyone. In this article we will talk about plastic surgery Gwen Stefani.
If you find old photos of plastic surgery Gwen Stefani on the Internet and compare it with its current appearance, it becomes obvious that plastic surgery works perfectly. The features became more expressive, and the appearance became more feminine and attractive.
As for many other celebrities, appearance is one of their assets. In this case plastic surgery Gwen Stefani is no exception. The change in appearance helped her become a more successful and confident woman. Not surprisingly, it inspires many women to become stronger and achieve their goals. And yes, in some cases, in order to succeed, it is still necessary to do plastic surgery.

The national power of a country may seem like an arbitrary and opinionated factoid but in recent years several publications and organizations have tried to rank countries based on their national power. Most of these publications and reputable business sites have based their rankings based purely on the GDP of the country, population and spending on the military. But the strength of a nation depends not only on these but several other external scales like leadership, political turmoil, human development, its probability of winning in a bilateral competition, and of course the strategic focus of the country. A ranking system called the National Power Index (NPI) devised by a partnership of University of Iowa, Nankai University and Korea University has aptly calculated the capabilities of 187 recognized and autonomous nations.
We are going to look at the 10 of the most powerful nations in the world based on the NPIS score which is the NPI normed against strongest nation having a score of 1.
Canada has finally usurped Russia as the stronger nation in 2016 as its human development ranking, government institute and readiness for a bilateral competition has made it a more powerful nation. If Canada goes to war with a nation, it has a probability of 0.9502 out of a full probability of 1 of winning it.
Ever since the inclusion into the European Union in 1986, Spain has transformed itself from a back-alley country to a modern, economically sophisticated and a country with infrastructural reforms. Spain has a winning probability of 0.9505 in an event of a bilateral competition.
Despite having ousted themselves from the United Nations, United Kingdom is still one of the most powerful nations in the world. It is economically stable with latest infrastructure and use of state-of-the-art technology in their military endeavors. Currently, UK has a 0.9573 winning probability against a bilateral nation competition.
Italy has the third largest annual Gross Domestic Product in Europe and also holds a powerful standing in the European Union. Its ranking has dropped below South Korea because of a tumultuous 2016 political year. In a bilateral competition or an act of war, Italy has a 0.9583 probability of winning.
Every able male serves in the military of two years after they become an adult in the Korean republic. Even though it is a small country, its economic power, infrastructure, human development and strategic defense tactics have made it an extremely powerful nation in recent years. The Winning Probability for South Korea in a duel is 0.961.
China ranks first in terms of population power and it is also the second largest economy in the world. The only thing that holds the country back right now is the low human development Index. Its winning probability in a bilateral competition is 0.97. China’s economy and manufacturing industry now has influence in countries all over the world.
Japan has the third largest economy in the world and it has recovered for the most part from the devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in the past decade. Its cultural, political and economic influence is great throughout the world as Japan now holds 0.982 probability of winning in a bilateral competition with another nation.
USA has been tipped as the most powerful country in the world with a high human development rank, largest economy and also the biggest military budget in the world. In case of a duel or bilateral war, USA has a 0.944 probability of winning.
Q : Which country is most powerful in the world ?
Ans: USA is the most powerful country with respect to GDP, military and being the third most dense human occupied in world.

I bought some magnifying sheets to help me with reading books and ingredients labels and things – off Ebay because Swedish stores stock with zero variety – and tested them out. All three are 3x magification (you can’t go higher unless you want binoculars, cameras or tiny tiny things meant for jewellers). I have about -9 sight in one eye and -11 in the other, in other words by normal people’s standards I’m almost blind. I CAN read normal books and papers but only if I stick them extremely close to my face, everyone can tell I see badly and my arms, hands or neck end up hurting. 12pt font is hard to read but I CAN read it (if it were up to me, I’d have 16pt font at the minimum). Frankly it’s becoming more and more common that everyone, online and offline, use smaller and smaller fonts – for example, on ingredients lists – and I got fed up with it.
The sizes I got were: “full page” (24,5 x 17 cm – a little smaller than half of one page from the newspaper), a medium-sized one that the description said was approximately 18 x 12cm (it’s really 18 x 11,5) and meant for reading books and newspapers, and a “bookmark” one that’s 19 x 6,5 and has a ruler on the edges. I bought them from spmart on Ebay, the total cost was AUD $12.42 including shipping and they arrived to Sweden after 4 weeks.
Before buying I was worried about two things, the first being that they wouldn’t magnify enough and the second being that they would be so thin and flimsy that they’d immediately get bent out of shape and become useless. Actually, they magnify much better than photos (including the seller’s photos) can show because the camera simply can’t focus well on this kind of thing, and they don’t bend as badly or easily as they seem like they wuld either.
anyway, indonesian and chinook jargon don’t actually have any difference between nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions. that is to say, it’s as if every single word in the language was a “noun”, and it only turns into an adjective or verb by word order, common sense, or by other words that make the meaning clear. it’s just like how we say “the colour red” (=noun) and “the red dog” (=adjective) without any change, same thing for “I’m talking” (=verb), “the talking man” (=adjective) and “the art of talking” (noun?).
This is mainly intended for people who want to write fantasy stories or make videogames (many of them use Nordic, or butchered Nordic, names). The words below are good for place-names, but both plant and animal names are used in even modern-day person names as well, so you can be named “Eagle Birch’s-Leaf” for example.
This is language from the 1860’s and a bit earlier, from Värend and Småland (south of Sweden), so it’s spelled a bit differently from modern Swedish and gives it that old-timey feel. Source is here. I wrote this post ages ago (back when my Swedish was a lot worse) and don’t intend to fix it up for some time, but it’s still usable.
havamal93 mentioned “Galdrabókin” (the witchcraft book) to me, so I looked it up a little, and found it’s a 1500’s Icelandic book which was translated by a Swede and republished a few times.
In the 1600’s when a farmer wanted to know when it would be the next full moon, he held up his arm. He pointed his pointer-finger towards the sun and spread out his thumb in line with the moon. Then he measured how many thumbs were in the space between the sun and moon. If the distance from the sun to moon was, for example, seven thumbs, it had been seven days since the new moon. After this it was easy to count out how many days remained until the full moon, or to the month’s end and the next new moon. The only thing that’s needed is that both the sun and moon are visible in the sky at the same time, a phemenon that happens regularly in the Nordics (except for in winter).
I came across a nice phase of the moon calendar on an Icelandic site, so if you want to know the phases of the moon simply go to this link and look on the right-hand side to find the calendar.
Key: Sun = sunday, mið = wednesday, fös = friday, lau = saturday.
It’s good to know you’re not alone. Even if they like a different time period or are in a different country, or have a lot more money than you… Well, more as I find them.

Found some Greenlandic knitting patterns on timarit.is. Can anyone translate these to English/a Scandinavian language for me?
Hämtade från timarit.is. Vill någon översätta dessa till något skandinaviskt språk eller engelska åt mig?
Note that I wrote this post before I knew much Swedish, so the episode was a bit hard for me to watch then.
All these photos I took myself. This first set is mostly from the Nordic Museum in the Stockholm area, from sometime in 2013 I believe.
More vintage-Iceland stuff is also scattered about in other posts.
All the tiny ones are photos taken by the University of Iceland and were published on the cover of their centennial student paper. The other Icelandic ones were either bought in Kolaportið, the flea market in Reykjavík, Iceland, or clipped from an Icelandic newspaper. The others are from Sweden and London.
Chop the fish well and for a long time with tallow and salt, then mix it with fresh milk (whole milk) for 20—25 minutes, add the milk in little by little, so “the mincemeat” is as thick as Christmas cookie dough. Place the balls out into a boiling solution, with a silver spoon or tin spoon. The spoon may be dipped into the solution in-between every trip, so that the balls can become nice-looking and round.
“Sauce” for the balls: Put out butter, with plenty of chopped onion, salt, crushed muscat and a tiny bit of flour, thin it up with fish broth (the leftover water from boiling fish) so “the sauce” is like thin [avsia – ???] oat-soup, and put a little of something sour and sweet in. Then strew it over the balls and have potatoes, wheat-bread or both things as a side-dish.
A finer “sauce” for fishballs would be made in about the same way, but without onion, and then one fetches: capers, lemon juice and white wine, and thicken “the sauce” with 1-2 egg yolks.
These instructions from from the 1938 issue of “Fálkinn”, an Icelandic newspaper. This is intended for young boys to be able to make themselves.
– thick wool fabric and stuffing/padding (you can buy cheaper, loose, un-dyed wool at knitting shops).
Each piece is 150 by 200 centimetres, like you see in the illustration.

“To Iceland”. Sheet music from Kvennablaðið, 31st of May, 1901.
From the year 1900, Kvennablaðið (“The women’s paper”). I first misread the motto as “If you want not (to), then god is forgiving, but if you can not, that is another matter.” so I thought it was funny.
Women’s sport-clothing from the 1910’s: a bicyclist, bather (swimmer), and footballist (soccer player). From Fálkinn, 1930.
This post has moved on over to my website. One year after writing it for the first time, I completely re-wrote it and added examples from Japanese and Indonesian (languages that I knew nothing of a year ago). Something like two of the examples of Faroese and Swedish are intact, but I wanted to do what I could to focus a little more on languages that weren’t European. I could make it better but I’m tired of working on it for now, especially after all of the needlessly rude comments I got on it when I shared it on a language-related community.
blah blah general disclaimer because SOME people can’t read a hobbypage by a nonlinguist without thinking i need to write it as perfectly as if i were publishing a research paper in an international magazine. i’m just a normal guy writing off what little i have in my brain, some of you may think the entire page is wrong, but at least i actually wrote something.
I’ll add more to this list as I find and play them. Last updated 23rd February 2015.
Usually you’ll want to (or it’s only possible to) emulate a game instead of buying a physical cartridge. Emulation means you use software to play the game on another gaming device, for example playing a gameboy game on a 3DS, or a PS2 game on a computer. Emulation software is entirely free, and runs on “ROMs” (digital versions of the info that’s on a game cartridge), which you can download online (techically, having a ROM copy of a game you already own is not illegal, and emulators aren’t illegal, but downloading ROMs of games you don’t already know is illegal – anyway you can find ROMs easily online.) If you have a device like a 3DS, you can buy a “flashcart” (flashcartridge) which is basically just a fake game cartridge that’s actually a USB, and you can load the emulation software etc onto it. Anyway!
1. (GBC, NDS) All of the Pokemon games (although X and Y can switch in-game between kanji and hiragana by changing the settings). Pokemon Gold, Silver or Crystal are actually the easiest to understand and learn from out of all the games (Red/Blue/Green have stilted text with not enough context, and the later games have way too much text and aren’t as easy to play if you can’t understand what they’re saying). Warning, the Mystery Dungeon games have really tiny text that’s hard to read.
2. (DS) こどものための読み聞かせ えほんであそぼう – A series of “games” which are actually illustrated children’s books. There’s both English and Japanese stories, and the stories have audio. The stories are just things like that one about the peach boy, and Peter Pan, summarized.
4. (SMS) Phantasy Star – Written entirely in katakana, except for some sort of cutscenes which use a few basic kanji. I haven’t played it so I dunno how easy it is to understand things in.
5. (SNES, GBA) Mother – also known as “Earthbound”. There’s three games and as far as I know, all of them only use hiragana and katakana.
6. (SNES) Final Fantasy III – has small text and is difficult to understand the “cutscenes”, but the normal “walking around town talking to random people” is much easier to understand.
7. (GBA) Breath of Fire. Text is also relatively big and easy to read.
8. 3×3 Eyes – Only has kanji in the opening scenario-type text, all the dialogues and in-game stuff are just in hiragana/katakana. has huge text!
9. Soul Blader – the hiragana is relatively big and clear to read.
in icelandic and faroese the cases and genders still remain, and basically the first word of a compound has its ending changed to genitive etc. (and depending on the word’s gender) when put in a compound word. prepositions also decide which case the related words go into, so ex. till would govern genitive case, which often added an -s to the end of the word, as in “till havs – to sea” but directly translated is “to sea‘s“.
when i was newer to sweden/swedish i went to SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) and asked my teacher if they had a list of words that did this so i could just learn them since i already knew some icelandic and it was easier, and she didn’t know what i was talking about and i never got any sort of list. when i search online i don’ really find anything either. so i started making my own, hopefully this can eventually help other learners of swedish out.
Swedish words that don’t exist in English. Not “unique Swedish words”, as many or even all of these exist in other languages, but just ones that aren’t in English. Occasionally updated as I find more.
On this list are not words that English has taken from Swedish (ex. ombudsman, smörgåsbord), and not words that relate to things only done/available in Sweden (ex. äggost which is a type of food, skogsrå which is a mythical lady in the forest who is part fox or something).
Since some nouns have verbforms and vice versa those repeats haven’t been added either. I tried to limit them to compounds with only two words, and while there exist a lot more slang words that don’t exist in English, I’m only adding slang words that are so common you can see them on advertisements and they’re in the Swedish-English dictionary etc.
When learning hiragana and katakana, we’re quick to notice that some are missing. wu, we, yi…　wi (ゐゑ) and we (ヰヱ) are in Unicode and in most fonts, as they were used all the way up until the 1950’s and show up sometimes even now (in places like usernames). Type them in the romaji-style input by writing “wyi” and “wye”.
There is no yi, ye or wu. Historically speaking, the Y sound is really just a short I with a bit more forceful breath, so yi would really be ii. E is the sound created in-between I and A, so it would have historically been iia for the same reason. The Japanese W is actually the same exact sound as its U, it’s just that U uses the voice and W is simply a puff of breath, so saying the two fast and close together is just too difficult (it’d be like saying “sz, td, pb”). Our English W is slightly different from our U, which is why we can say “woo” and Japanese can’t.
OBS! Dålig svenska. Receptet kommer från “Alþýðublaðið Sunnudagsblað – 4. juni 1939”, en isländsk tidning.
/ This recipe comes from “Alþýðublaðið Sunnudagsblað – 4th June 1939”, an Icelandic newspaper.
Dry the shrimp with a rolling pin or dish towel. Cut the cucumbers into small pieces and simmer (lightly boil) the peas.
Stir the cream cheese together with the sour cream. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, mint, salt and pepper. Then add shrimp, cucumber, and peas into the dressing – mix them together well.
Divide the filling into 6 sandwiches. Stuff them well with filling and put them in the fridge for a day. Cut the crusts off with a good knife, and then cut each sandwich into 4 pieces. Decorate with shrimp and peas.
This post translates the Faroese Island names, but it’s just a translation of someone else’s post. The original article is here (in Swedish), you’ll have to access it with the Wayback Machine. I first started translating this before I knew hardly any Swedish and have never gone back to correct it, be warned..
Note: Salmon pudding is seen as typical, traditional Swedish food.
1. Peel and boil the potatoes as normal. Set the oven to 200°C. Butter a 1-1 1/2 liter baking dish.
2. Thinly slice the potatoes. Cut the salmon file into 2-3cm thick sheets/slices (if it isn’t already thinly sliced). Chop up the leek and dill.
3. Put a layer of potatoes into the bottom of the dish. Strew half the leek over top.
4. Lay down the salmon slices in a compact layer. Strew the rest of the leek and some dill over top.
5. Lay the rest of the potatoes over top.
6. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, white pepper, and cream. Pour this egg custard into the baking form. Bake in the middle of the oven for 45-55 minutes. Test with a toothpick/”stick” that the potatoes are done and the egg custard is stiff the entire way through in the middle.
7. Melt the butter in a little skillet. Use it as something to strew over the salmon pudding if you cut it into servings. Separate the lemon into slices(?) and serve it with the salmon pudding. Garnish the salmon pudding with some freshly-chopped dill.

A galaxy called Segue 1 appears to be heavily dominated by dark matter.
Astronomers have discovered a galaxy harboring more dark matter than any seen before.
The galaxy is a small group of about 1,000 small, dim stars just outside the Milky Way called Segue 1. But while most of those stars appear to have roughly the mass of the sun, the galaxy as a whole weighs 600,000 times the mass of the sun. That means the normal matter stars are vastly outweighed by dark matter.
Invisible dark matter has never been directly detected, but scientists think it exists based on the gravitational pull it exerts on the rest of the universe.
To parse how much regular matter and dark matter are in the galaxy, the researchers studied the motions of the visible light stars.
If the 1,000 or so stars were all there was to Segue 1, with just a smidgeon of dark matter, the stars should all move at about the same speed. But the Keck data show they do not. Instead of moving at a steady 130 miles per second (209 kilometers per second) relative to the Milky Way, some of the Segue 1 stars are moving at rates as slow as 121 miles per second (194 kilometers per second) while others are going as fast as 139 miles per second (224 kilometers per second).
"That tells you Segue 1 must have much more mass to accelerate the stars to those velocities," Yale University astronomer Marla Geha said in a statement.
Geha, along with Joshua Simon from the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and their colleagues first reported hints of the galaxy's dark matter content in 2008, but the new study provides stronger evidence. The researchers detailed their new findings in the May 2011 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.
Segue 1 is not just interesting because of its dark nature, but because it represents an unusual collection of nearly primordial stars, the researchers said.
One way to tell how long ago a star formed is by its heavy element content, which can be gleaned by looking at the specific wavelengths of light emitted by a star.
Very old or primitive stars come from a time when the universe was young and few large stars had yet grown old enough to fuse lightweight atoms like hydrogen and helium into heavier elements like iron and oxygen. Early, and therefore ancient, stars that formed from early gas clouds are therefore very low in heavy elements.
The researchers managed to gather iron data on six stars in Segue 1 with the Keck II telescope, and a seventh Segue 1 star was measured by an Australian team using the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Of those seven, three proved to have less than one 2,500th as much iron as our own sun.
"That suggests these are some of the oldest and least evolved stars that are known," Simon said.
Searches for such primitive stars among the Milky Way's billions have yielded less than 30.
"In Segue 1 we already have 10 percent of the total in the Milky Way," Geha said. "For studying these most primitive stars, dwarf galaxies are going to be very important."
The researchers hope Segue 1 will be able to shed more light on the mysterious nature of dark matter.
Some researchers have been looking with the space-based Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope in hopes of catching sight of a faint glimmer of high-energy light called gamma rays, which could be created by the collision and annihilation of pairs of dark matter particles, scientists theorize.
But so far that search has turned up nothing. However, that doesn't mean the dark matter isn't there, said Simon.
"The current predictions are that the Fermi telescope is just barely strong enough or perhaps not quite strong enough to see these gamma rays from Segue 1," Simon explained. So there are hopes that Fermi will detect at least the hint of a collision. "A detection would be spectacular. People have been trying to learn about dark matter for 35 years and not made much progress. Even a faint glow of the predicted gamma rays would be a powerful confirmation of theoretical predictions about the nature of dark matter."
In the meantime, astronomers suspect there are other, perhaps even darker dwarf galaxies hovering around the Milky Way, waiting to be discovered.
"We'd like to find more objects like Segue 1," Simon said.

The paper aims at assessing the changes in flows of selected forms of capital under deepening financial integration in the European Union. EU Member States are divided into two groups: members of the euro area and those outside of it. The analysis coincides with the establishing of the EU monetary union and covers the turn and early 21st century. Research method applied in this particular study includes the overview of theoretical concepts, literature review and a comparative statistical analysis based on statistical data. Analyses of selected data revealed significant differences between developed and developing countries when it comes to various forms of net capital and its relation to the GDP based on the International Investment Position. Moreover, we evaluated the International Investment Position of Poland against the backdrop of selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the eurozone members.
