"We were watching "Flickering Lights", a Danish crime caper. She's Danish and I speak the language passably. They did an acceptable job with most of the dialogue, though they couldn't really capture the clash of dialect when the Copenhagen toughs find themselves in rural Jutland. What annoyed me this time was that they didn't translate but transposed proper names and places, apparently in the belief that English-speaking audiences want a movie set in Denmark to seem as though it were set in Cleveland." - Shannon Jiménez from Bookmarklet

If you used it a few times in the last year, and you just typed this, then you're fine. - Louis Gray

You have an excellent point, Louis. But, rather than pressing my luck further, I did decide to throw it out! - Shannon Jiménez

"A north London school which has developed lessons on gay historical figures who suffered persecution claims to have succeeded in "more or less eliminating homophobic bullying" in its classrooms and playgrounds over the last five years. The life story of the wartime code-breaker Alan Turing is among those being used to tackle homophobia. Authors Oscar Wilde and James Baldwin and artist Andy Warhol also feature. Now Stoke Newington secondary plans to share the lessons with hundreds of primary and secondary school teachers. By the summer, it will have trained more than a hundred teachers in how to "educate and celebrate" being gay." - Shannon Jiménez from Bookmarklet

Also, if that were the case, wouldn't they WANT to sell two houses? - Shannon Jiménez

"With most load-bearing methods, the heavier the weight, the more energy you need to burn to carry it. Not so with head porterage. Based on studies of women of the Luo and Kikuyu tribes of East Africa, researchers have found that people can carry loads of up to 20 percent of their own body weight without expending any extra energy beyond what they'd use by walking around unencumbered. Above that figure, however, metabolic costs seem to increase proportionally with load weight. But don't start stacking groceries on your head just yet. The subjects in these studies began head-loading as children and had developed a peculiar gait that's one-third more efficient than the one we're likely to use." - Shannon Jiménez from Bookmarklet

They have awesome posture too, to line up the spine just right to not hurt their necks. It seems like a useful skill no matter where you are. - <3Heather<3

I wish I could claim a cool July for the reason it's still over 100 out there. I like to think it's because I live in the fiery pits of hell. ;) - Jenny R

"Thousands of trucks have jammed National Expressway 110 since Aug. 14, creating a traffic jam stretching 100 kilometers. Authorities attribute the mess to highway construction exacerbated by accidents and breakdowns. Police are trying to keep tempers from flaring in what is the second massive jam to tie up the highway in the past month.... No one expects things to improve until the project wraps up on Sept. 13." - Shannon Jiménez from Bookmarklet

If you make it to Glenbrook, you will be up in time for our morning walks with the dogs!! You would have liked Skiathos, when I went out in the morning to get croissants, the young people were just coming home from the discos! - amelia arapoff

If I make it Glenbrook, I plan to get some recovery sleep :) - Shannon Jiménez
