Game Review

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (1994)

Some nights are made for torture, or reflection, or the savoring of loneliness.
-Poppy Z. Brite

The arcade was almost empty at midday. Being homeschooled had its perks. I was waiting to get on Darkstalkers but there was an older kid on first player, and I’d never dream of jumping on player two to interrupt and challenge someone who was a senior in high school. His friend walked up while I was hanging back and said “You’re playing stupid game? C’mon. Street Fighter.” And the guy just got up and left. His character died and the continue counted down from nine to zero. I was confused but I popped my quarter in the slot and hit start.

What’s with treating Darkstalkers like the silly, unwashed, pimply half-brother of Capcom’s more popular fighter, Street Fighter II? It’s a perspective I’ve run into more than once. Which is ironic since Darkstalkers has always seemed to me like a themed doppelgänger of Street Fighter II, its spitting image, practically.

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
is an arcade tournament fighting game released by Capcom in 1994 and later ported to the first PlayStation in 1996. It has all the speed (turbo) as Street Fighter II and even features several characters who are clones of Ryu and Ken. It even uses the exact same gameplay system as Street Fighter II. What keeps Darkstalkers unique in my opinion are its far more interesting characters, inspired by iconic movie monsters and folklore rather than just being martial artists and brawlers. Capcom has historically churned out a lot of games themed around supernatural darkness and folklore, and Darkstalkers feels like the pinnacle of that trend.

The vampiric princeling, Demitri Maximoff, is holding a tournament on Earth to see who has the right to rule the underworld. The Darkstalkers slink from the shadows to answer the call. It is then that the fire-born alien Pyron arrives to consume the planet, providing the final challenge for the warriors of the night.

There are ten playable characters and two bosses.

Demitri is one of the main characters of the game, obviously, a vampire of Romania whose castle only appears under a full moon. He’s an opulent, charismatic, well-dressed and vicious pyrokinetic. Flames leap from his flesh. At times he drops his refined appearance and the monster underneath shows through, when even his cape becomes bat’s wings. He’s basically Ryu so far as his skill set goes, the classic hadouken replaced with the Chaos Flare fireball.

Morrigan Aensland is undoubtedly the most popular character in Darkstalkers who has appeared in every entry in the series and several other related games, because… reasons. She’s a seductive sorceress from Scotland, vampiric succubus and ultra-vain princess of the realm of darkness, an embodiment of temptation. Tired of the dull power struggles and her caged existence in the underworld, she frequently invades the human realm in search of a good fight for pleasure, living for nothing more than the excitement of battle. She’s a hedonist. Stylistically, Morrigan is Ken. Her skill set is almost identical to Demitri’s with the major difference being her aerial capabilities, such as her dash lifting her off the ground and her assortment of anti-air attacks.

Jon Talbain, stylized as J. Talbain in the game, is an Englishman who suffers from hereditary lycanthropy, making him a werewolf from birth and a dichotomy of two natures. A loner, expertly trained fighter and martial artist trained in Jeet Kune Do (evinced by his pants and belt), Talbain’s name in Japanese was Gallon, “hungry wolf”. He fights to lift his curse and regain his humanity. Lean and muscular, werewolf Talbain fights with intense speed and ferocity, at times unrelenting in his assault. Indeed attacks like his trademark Wolf Cannon push back the enemy and bring him in a closer proximity to bring his deadly claws to bear. His Climb Laser backwards kick is strikingly familiar because it seems to be a clone of Guile’s from Street Fighter.

Felicia is the opposite of J. Talbain, the light to his dark. She’s a playful catgirl who was raised by a nun and dreamed of becoming a pop star. Discovering that the world was full of prejudice against those who are different, she desired to become famous in order to bridge the gap between the Darkstalkers and the humans. Bright if not naive, Felicia dances even in battle. Even her name means “Happy”. If her optimistic character seems unusual among the typical vampires and zombies, that’s because the catgirl is based on the Japanese bakeneko, a supernatural creature. The bakeneko is a cat who has aged enough to acquire unusual abilities like shapeshifting, standing on two legs, manipulating the dead, and attacking humans, even killing its previous owner. Felicia is never that dark in Darkstalkers. She is however incredibly fast and may be the swiftest character in the game. Her attacks are limited to quick jabs and nimble strikes but she is capable of stringing together long combos. She’s been compared to Street Fighter’s Blanka and Chun-Li.

Bishamon is a samurai inhabiting a suit of cursed armor (Hannya, “the armor of hate”), a ghost and powerful swordsman. Most of Bishamon’s history is a mystery but even as his tsukumogami armor (an item that becomes sentient after 100 years) pushes him on a killing spree through the ranks of the Darkstalkers, if he defeats Pyron, he lifts the curse and the armor from his body and becomes a priest to atone for his sins. Two Japanese ghost fireballs follow him at all times and even become part of his attack patterns. Bishamon is modelled after the Soulless Samurai, ronin who would go to any lengths to become unstoppable. Bishamon nearly achieved that level of power but his is a story of tragedy and regret. His moveset is complex and not recommended for beginners.

Lord Raptor was an Austrailian rockstar who died on stage, which would put a damper on anyone’s plans. Fortunately for him, he was brought back as an undead ghoul. A loose cannon and visceral freak fighting for nothing but more power. He’s the horror-themed villain to horror-themed villains. If you think he’d be slow because he’s a zombie, think again. He’s a quick and clever fighter who can transform his limbs into various cutting weapons, buzzsaws, blades and chainsaws. He uses his old guitar as a weapon and even has a teleporting move to further confuse his opponents. He’s ferocious and unpredictable with a frighteningly long reach and rictus grin.

Victor is the opposite of Lord Raptor. He’s a hulking, super-heavyweight fighter and grappler, a formidable powerhouse of strength. Victor von Gerdenheim is fashioned after Frankenstein’s monster. He was created by a mad scientist of the same name, who dies shortly after Victor is “born”. Believing he can impress his “father” and be accepted, Victor answers the call and challenges the Darkstalkers in battle. Though he possesses the mind of a child and is one of the slowest characters in the game, Victor is powered by electricity and can takedown unwary opponents quickly with his charged barrage of fists. With several grabbing moves and a tornado like spin, he’s definitely Darkstalker’s Zangief.

If you thought Victor was sluggish, wait until you play as Anakaris. We can maybe excuse a bit of dragging of feet. This monster is a huge 5,000 year old Egyptian pharaoh who ruled an empire before being embalmed. He fights back the Darkstalkers in an attempt to regain his authority and restore his empire, and nothing, not even death, will stand in his way. Easily the slowest character in Darkstalkers, Anakaris suffers from a floating jump. Only the most skilled players can make up for this disadvantage by playing up his air strikes and tremendous reach, which makes me think of Dhalsim from Street Fighter II. Anakaris can also bring a series of powers to bear which seem to come from nowhere: his arms extending the length of the screen or disappearing underground to punch up beneath opponents, dropping sarcophagi down from above, grabbing his foes from a distance, eating projectiles, cursing enemies into harmless forms, guard cancelling, using his own body as a trap, and teleporting to the complete opposite ends of the screen. Lots of potential but lots of patience required.

Rikuo is a merman from the Brazilian Amazon River. His name is a misspelling of Ricou Browning who portrayed the title character in Creature from the Black Lagoon. Rikuo one of the last survivors of his race that was decimated by a catastrophic earthquake. He later meets Aqueria, a female mermaid, and together they attempt to repopulate their race. When Rikuo learns that Pyron caused the fall of his race, he is enraged and vows to confront and defeat the alien menace. His unique and foreign physiology allows him to morph parts of his body into other aspects of marine life: his arms can become spikes, tentacles or crab claws, his lower half can become a hardened seashell, and he can expand his stomach like a puffer fish. He also has the tongue of a frog and the sonar capabilities of a dolphin, albeit with deadlier effects than their natural counterparts. Rikuo isn’t generally someone’s first choice but he is capable of unleashing a host of slippery and tricky illusionary attacks and feints. He relies on his powerful dashing moves and multiple stun attacks, as well as his backward dash which at first appears to be a retreat until he bounds back into an upward kick, catching his opponent off guard. And he’s also my favorite character.

The last of the playable characters is Sasquatch, who, as his name suggests, is a sasquatch/yeti/bigfoot/mountain ape, dwelling in the Rocky Mountains. He leaves his village after sensing Pyron’s presence, volunteering to face the Darkstalkers on their territories before they invade his own. Don’t let his cute face fool you, Sasquatch is a primal fighter. Even the flick of his giant finger can send an opponent reeling. On top of that, he brings a host of frigid attacks to the game with his frost breath and the freezing blast of his nostrils. He may look slow but he’s surprisingly nimble and makes up for a below average reach with sheer strength. He can even fit his opponent inside his mouth. That’s a fun trick for parties.

Huitzil is the game’s first boss and an unplayable character in Dakrstalkers. He’s the Vega character from Street Fighter II. He is a member of an army of ancient bipedal robots constructed by Pyron 65 million years in the past with orders to destroy all organic life on Earth. They succeeded in wiping out the dinosaurs but became trapped beneath the ground after an earthquake, only being reactivated after they were unearthed by the Mayan civilization. Armed with lasers, bombs, drills and other mechanical armaments, Huitzil serves as Pyron’s lieutenant and the final test of might before facing the alien overlord himself.

And finally there is Pyron of course. Wreathed in flame with long horns like a minotaur, he stands between the Darkstalkers and ultimate rule. But beating him is no cakewalk. Pyron has evolved over millions of years and the lives of the Darkstalkers are like barely noticeable ants before his all-consuming hunger. His is a wildfire on a galactic scale, flame incarnate.

Who will be the new master of the night?

The 8-Bit Review
visual Visuals:
demitriDarkstalkers has some of the best animated 2D graphics there are, hands down. It’s style helped to fuel the 2D appeal of the Marvel vs. Capcom series and its visuals became a foundation for the future of 2D, pixelated characters. Each of the Darkstalkers have a tremendous amount of different animations from their own attacks to being cut in half, stabbed, burned, stunned, poisoned, cursed, incapacitated or otherwise killed. The backgrounds for each stage are by no means awful since they’re rendered in colorful vibrancy with plenty of things happening in them, but they’re the weakest element of the game’s visuals simply because the character sprites are so fluidly animated. Further, the cutesy, anime-influenced emotes of the characters tripping or getting punched around helps to bring a little levity to the game’s otherwise dark source material and keeps it from being too morose and morbid. And the action is never sluggish, even on the slowest speed setting, which works well with the seamless animations.

audio Audio: 7/10

Although the game is fundamentally Gothic-horror and the characters that most fit that description (like Demitri) feature songs that evoke pipe organs and despair, the OST still leaves room for characterizing some of the weirder lot. This is never out of place as each of the unusual stages are accompanied by unusual tracks. For example, Lord Raptor’s music is a dirty, grungy rock, Rikuo’s is as upbeat as Zumba, Bishamon’s is distinctly Japanese, Anakaris’ is the stereotypical playlist of the pyramids, the Sasquatch’s sounds playful and innocent, and Felicia’s is a mewling rendering of hyper-pop. The soundtrack perfectly fits the characters, further helping to bring descriptiveness to some of these bizarre and outlandish personalities.

gameplay Gameplay: 7/10
Darkstalkers utilizes a six-button system of light, medium and hard attacks. It also features a two player battle mode, three separate speed settings, the introduction of air blocking, crouch walking, combo chains and a special meter which builds up during battle and allows the player to unleash devastating abilities. Special attacks are inputting similar to Street Fighter II with the proper directional commands followed closely by punch and kick buttons. Some of the inputs even carry directly over from Street Fighter II. Darkstalkers can be extremely fast paced, which takes some working up to. It seemed to me to be one of the fastest out of all of Capcom’s fighters.

DSTLKA--Darkstalkers The Night Warriors Asia 940705_Jul5 8_03_00
accessibility Accessibility:
Because its speed, Darkstalkers can be a hard game to learn, as in the case of any new fighter. Of course, it has the Street Fighter II similarities going for it, if you’ve happened to play that series and go right to Darkstalker’s clone-characters, but if you’re jumping in blind expect a steep uphill climb though once the top is reached, you’ll realize it really wasn’t that far away. This is especially true with some of the playable characters with more unorthodox approaches to battle and their wacky or over-complicated move sets, chief among these being Anakaris, then Bishamon and Lord Raptor, in my assessment. Low accessibility has a high pay off, eventually, but it was hard for me to get good at Darkstalkers, particularly only so far as my allowance money allowed.

diff Challenge: 8/10
After I got good as the slippery fish, Rikuo, things were somewhat of a breeze. I could even beat some of the older kids at the arcade by taking them unawares. But I always had trouble beating Huitzil and then Pyron. I still do. Ramping up the speed setting only makes things harder, where timing becomes absolutely crucial, but it’s almost like your soul eventually comes to crave the frantic pace. Darkstalkers was harder for me than some other fighters but that difficulty-level didn’t take away from its enjoyment.

replay Replayability:
Criticized for failing to achieve the kind of gameplay depth to be found in Capcom’s other fighters (sorry, but it’s impossible not to compare them), Darkstalkers is nevertheless extremely fun. This was a cabinet I looked for in arcades simply because I thought other fighters looked boring compared to this game’s energy and presentation.

unique Uniqueness: 9/10
Darkstalkers features a wide variety of characters from different backgrounds, cultures and inspirations. As the uncontested horror-themed fighter, it stands virtually unopposed. It helped to create some of the most recognized and iconic characters in the Capcom roster. Though it relies much on the Street Fighter series, an interesting concept goes a long way.

pgrade My Personal Grade:
I had Street Fighter II for the Super NES but I was never truly into any tournament fighting games until I met Darkstalkers in that one dim arcade. When the game was ported to the PlayStation, I picked it up and refined my amphibious skills as Rikuo, but by then my local arcades had traded the Darkstalkers cabinet in for newer titles. I think there was maybe one place that still had it after ’96, but I can’t be sure. Memory, y’know? And playing the game at home never really had the same kind of thrill as playing in the arcades against some random guy I’d never met before, coupled with the rare pleasure of absolutely dominating that perfect stranger. Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors was never as popular as other fighters and never achieved the same status as Street Fighter II, but it was always one of my favorite go-to games if I had a few quarters handy.

    • Hey, we’re happy to spread the intrigue and raise awareness. I hate to bring up that wretched cartoon. It has almost as little to do with the source material as the movie I, Robot had to do with the book I, Robot.
      I was into Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter but what drew me to Darkstalkers were its fun characters and amazing graphics and speed. I highly recommend you play it. One of the best fighters of the 90’s, in my opinion. And that’s coming from a man who isn’t particularly into fighters as a genre.

As always, it’s all about jobs: Mark Riley

Mark RileyThe West Australian
Malcolm Turnbull trumpeted this week’s unemployment figures for June.
Camera IconMalcolm Turnbull trumpeted this week’s unemployment figures for June.Picture: Picture: AP/Rick Rycroft

The official rate of unemployment didn’t move an inch this week but it sure moved Malcolm Turnbull.

Most found it singularly unexciting that the national jobless rate had remained unchanged in June at 5.4 per cent.

But not Turnbull. For him, it was enough inspiration to call a snap news conference and trumpet the result with cheeks bursting like Satchmo at his prime.

Flanked by Treasurer Scott Morrison, Turnbull declared the result a stunning endorsement of his Government’s economic policies.

Yet nothing had really happened, right? Well, yes and no.

The job series is not what it used to be. Changes to the way it is calculated have rendered its monthly variations much less reliable than they once were. A percentage point here and a percentage point there don’t mean all that much from one result to the next.

But the trend line still provides a reasonable guide to what is happening in the labour force.

Fluctuations in the participation rate and other variables mean that a fair number of jobs has to be created, in a statistical if not real sense, just for the official figure to mark time.

And so the numbers released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggested that, despite no movement in the headline rate, in June 51,000 jobs were created, 41,000 of them full time.

Turnbull and Morrison puckered up and blew their horns until the saints came marchin’ in.

The high note for Turnbull was that 339,000 jobs had been created in 2017-18, making it the best financial year result since 2004-05.

When it was time for Morrison to take the microphone, he reached for a more contemporary musical analogy to make his point.

The 95,000 positions created for young Australian jobseekers in 2017-18 was the highest charting result since 1989 which, Morrison exalted in full ScoMo daggy dad mode, was the year Taylor Swift was born.

“I reckon that’d be something for Taylor Swift to sing about!” he said.

Shaking off the musical metaphors, the harvesting of these subterranean statistics has a deeper political purpose.

It has much to do with next week’s Super Saturday by-elections. Turnbull did manage to slip in that 2100 jobs appeared in Tasmania last month and Morrison reflected pointedly on the particular recoveries in the West Australian and Queensland labour markets.

Nothing about South Australia. Perhaps that’s as good a guide as any that the Libs have given up Mayo for dead.

It is also setting the political frame for the main debate for the coming general election.

Polling and focus group work by both sides in the Longman and Braddon by-elections show that jobs and wages are among the top issues weighing on voters’ minds.

That is why Turnbull and Morrison speak ad nauseam about their “economic plan for jobs and growth”. It might grate with journalists but it packs a punch with punters.

That’s also why Bill Shorten focused his two big announcements this week on the same subject.

The crackdown on labour hire firms was tailored to address two significant concerns. The first, an underlying feeling of job insecurity among workers, concerned that they will be sacked and replaced by labour hire workers on lower pay.

The second is a sense of inequality held by those labour hire workers themselves at being paid less to do the same job as the full-time employees toiling alongside them.

Shorten’s “same job, same pay” rallying cry is a simple but sharp and effective slogan. In the best tradition of political pithiness, it succinctly encapsulates the concerns ordinary working people are telling pollsters about job insecurity and stagnant wages growth.

That frustration reached boiling point this week with new analysis showing that while real wages are effectively going backwards, the ASX 100’s top executives have granted themselves obscene pay rises of 12 per cent and bonuses of 18 per cent. And they’ve been doing this while not reaching their own key performance indicators, effectively trousering millions of dollars for not doing their jobs.

Shorten is also hammering away at what he calls “the scourge of casualisation” of the workforce. This is another deep-seated worry in the real world, extending well beyond the beefs about labour hire firms.

The Government cries bulldust. Workplace Minister Craig Laundy distributed figures from the Parliamentary Budget Office this week showing that the rate of casual employment in Australia has been at 20 per cent for donkey’s years and hasn’t increased.

But, a bit like the unemployment figures, these numbers aren’t as accurate as they might appear at first blush.

They don’t take into consideration the proportion of people who believe their job is insecure. Recent analysis has put that as high as 50 per cent.

Nor does it include the high proportion of people who think they are under-employed, let alone underpaid.

The secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Martin Parkinson, added another dimension in a thought-provoking address to the UK-Australia Leadership Forum in London this week.

Parkinson highlighted a growing social anxiety about perceptions of creeping inequality and economic insecurity. These were being exacerbated by a general belief that incumbent governments were unable or unwilling to address these fundamental, indeed existential changes.

Ordinary people were left feeling abandoned by the political mainstream and more willing to gravitate towards disruptive alternatives, even if this meant they were doing things “that ‘experts’ say are counterproductive to their own interests”.

This is fertile ground that brought Donald Trump, Brexit and Pauline Hanson on the Right and Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn and a host of others on the Left.

And that is why our political leaders are focusing so intently on the issues of employment, wages and job security in the lead-up to next weekend’s by-elections and the big one, whenever that comes.

Despite the fiery stick and pitchfork show of personality clashes and binary arguments that defines our daily politics, elections are and always have been about one thing.

As the “Ragin’ Cajun” James Carville constantly reminded Bill Clinton in the 1992 US presidential election campaign, “It’s the economy, stupid!”

Memcached is a famous distributed memory caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites drastically in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so when a customer searches for a given product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole procedure will be completed significantly quicker. This is valid for all kinds of database-driven applications and not only for online shopping portals, since anytime a specific page is opened, the application sends a database request to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also create much less load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached object caching system with all Linux shared packages offered by our company. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can order with only a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached as soon as you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you’d like to use it for. The first part shows the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve got, the more data will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for popular sites with large databases and plenty of concurrent visitors. In this way, you can supercharge the overall performance of any script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers without any efforts.

Hey! Where’s the chicken food?

Open trunks and car doors are open invitations for curious chickens. Alas, no tasty BUGS in THIS trunk but plenty of interesting things to stick a nosy beak into.

The king is captured!

It took over two weeks but we finally caught this wily guy today. Mr. Rooster likes to begin his crowing at 3:00 in the morning. This has become problematic due to the fact that we enjoy leaving doors and windows open at night whilst we sleep. Our options were to shoot him and have bbq chicken, capture him and outfit the coop so it’s in complete darkness at night or give him away. He’s going to a new home with other lovely ladies to garner his affections. My ladies on the other hand will go back to enjoying their quiet existence once again, and we will enjoy a full night’s sleep.

Best Duffel Bag For Travel

Travel duffel bags have become synonymous with adventure travelers. The super tough bags can range from a 45-liter weekend grab bag to a whopping 90 liter – we could fit a person in these things. (I don’t recommend that for saving on airfare!) I recently utilized a duffel bag on our snowboard tour around the world and loved the rugged convenience. While the bag sat in a melting pile of snow I wasn’t worried about my clothes getting wet.

That is because best duffel bags for travel are durable, water resistant, and made for simple travel. They can stash a lot of gear with no space eaten up by organization dividers or sections. Plus bags made with a durable material mean you can stick boots, gloves, goggles, or hiking poles in them. We’ve reviewed some of the best travel duffel bags on the market that will help make your travel and packing easier – here are our favorites.

Best Travel Duffel Bags

Have we mentioned that we love Patagonia before? We’re avid fans of the companies products and it’s likely anyone who’s big into outdoor adventure sports is loves them too. The Patagonia Black Hole bag is one of the largest of the Patagonia brand and perfect for extensive travel.

The bag can pack down small when empty so it’s great to stick in your bag. It was also plenty easy to stuff and organize, thanks to the large U-shaped zipper and two mesh pockets on the top flap. It’s also super lightweight an important aspect we look for in our travel gear.

The North Face Base Camp is likely the best duffel bag for travel. This bag has been a staple of the duffel market and for a long time left competitors attempting to keep up.

I love that the shoulder straps are plush and allow for the bag to be carried like a backpack. It’s made with a durable material that is both rugged and weather resistant. It’s everything I look for in a great duffel bag for travel. North Face also makes a version with wheels called the North Face Rolling Thunder.

Helly Hansen Duffel 2

If you’re looking for the best value on this list of duffels bags for travel then the Helly Hansen is for you.  The Helly Hansen Duffel 2 is easily my one of favorite bags on the market.  I own this bag and love it, but I now travel with the Dakine Ranger below.

It’s an easy to pack bag and should be able to handle a few short trips. The Helly Hansen is waterproof and looks sharp. However, it’s slightly heavy and could definitely be constructed just a tad bit better. It’s not the toughest or best-constructed duffel bag, but you do get a lot of bag for not much money.

Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler

Eagle Creekare experts at lightweight travel gear and that is exactly what you can expect with their Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler.

The bag has six handles so it’s easy to grab for the traveler on the go. It also has well-cushioned shoulder straps that make it easy to carry. If you need a tough bag give this a skip as it isn’t super durable, but for a weekend traveler not putting much wear and tear on a bag this may the perfect fit. It may not be the best at waterproof capabilities so adventurers may want to leave this one at home.

Dakine Ranger Duffle Bag

This is a pretty similar bag to the Patagonia Black Hole. It has a heavy duty exterior that is water resistant with enough handles to sling the bag around. It comes with a lifetime guarantee and in some pretty attractive colors. It’s lightweight and features straps that connect for an over the shoulder bag or backpack. The top opens wide with two J zippers allowing you to access all your stuff in the main compartment. The interior also includes a few internal mesh pockets for organization. This is what I currently carry in my suitcase, since we are full time digital nomads I love having a bag that hold all our stuff for a few days while we island hop in Indonesia.

Best Wheeled Duffel Bags

High Siera AT6 – Carry On

This is a hybrid bag that blends duffel bag and backpack. It provides travelers plenty of options and is purpose-built to do it all. The bag features organization with multiple compartments and a divider panel that can be removed to create one large compartment. Most importantly it has wheels and an extendable handle for easy transportation.

Check the prices here!

Eagle Creek No Matter What Duffel Bag

This is a collapsible bag that still has sturdy wheels and a handle to carry it all. What more could you ask for? It also holds a massive 120 liters of luggage. The bag has weather-resistant fabric that will not hold up the elements of an adventure traveler. However, the average city hopper will be enough to protect clothes from the occasional patch of rain.

eBag Mother Lode TLS 21″

We partnered with eBags recently to cover some of our favorite packing hacks and it opened our world to a whole bunch of new products. In fact we travel around with an eBag suitcase as one of our main point bags. I love this hybrid duffel bag with wheels as it has solid construction, it’s carry on friendly, and the interior is designed like a clamshell suitcase. This is a hybrid bag that blends a duffel bag and a backpack.  I also like the hard shell back that adds durability and an extra layer of protection for your belongings. It’s particularly helpful when hopping over a curb or set of stairs.

Wheeled vs. Traditional Duffel Bag

It goes without saying wheels make it far easier to travel around airports, paved roads, and even surfaces. The advantage of a traditional duffel bag is that is lightweight and easy to carry. As a digital nomad I like to use a duffel bag in my luggage to use for short multi-day trips. While wheels make more sense for a traditional traveler. They do come with a drawback in regards to weight, with strict airline weight allowances that weight means you pack less of your own stuff in a wheeled bag.

A more traditional bag is also much easier in difficult or exotic destinations. They’re clearly more suited for adventure travel as you can strap to just about anything whether that’s a rooftop, yak, snowmobile, or jammed in the small luggage hold of a Cessna. They make for super safari bags as bush flights do not allow for hard sided luggage in the small luggage holds. For the average traveler, a wheeled bag is a perfect fit, but those on an adventure should opt for a traditional duffel bag for travel.

2019 Volvo Xc40 T5 Usa Youtube Cargo Space

2019 Volvo Xc40 T5 Usa Youtube Cargo Space

2019 Volvo XC40. The new Volvo XC40, for sale in March, does not openly challenge class standards. Volvo did not disrupt this sector with doors V-12, Golwing, or even a longitudinal engine. It’s traditional as the rest of the Elk, however, and this is the main distinction – Volvo XC40 is not boring. These small vehicles may be useful, harmless, and loved by customers, but for those of us who appreciate driving dynamics they are almost a bit dull for the pilot. The third member of the Volvo family has reached the SUV – Volvo XC40.

This Crossover Compact is located under the XC60 and the XC90 is the largest in the company’s doubt lineup and will rise against the Audi Q2 and the upcoming BMW X2. Read all you need to know about this new model. If you do not want to wait for the new Volvo XC40, check out our list of the best small SUVs to sell. Click “Sign in” in the top right corner to sign up for a new car and configure it or browse our wide range of new, near-car and pre-register cars.

What is surprising about the way 2019 Volvo XC40 looks, is the similarity with the concept of 40.1. Traditionally, cars produce many more odd tone details featured on their concepts but the Volvo XC40 looks almost identical to 40.1. Only the camera-based wing mirrors and door handles that have been cleared out for more traditional units are switched. While we have not seen it in metal, the car in the pictures looks exactly fit with the trick, charging front, finely curled body down side and background framed by lights Bold Led Brake. The ceiling can be finished in a contrasting color of the body, echoing the same feature on the Mini-Countryman and Set Arona. The interior is less than the departure of the brand, details of borrowing and parts of the larger Volvo.

Screen information and image oriented entertainment use large icons and clear layouts while all models get a digital screen instead of the traditional dial behind the steering wheel. Overall, there is very little clutter so it should be fairly easy to use. Volvo has looked closely at the way buyers store items in the car and have made improvements aimed at modern buyers. Door pockets are large enough for a laptop or tablet PC while there is an inductive smart phone charging in the center console. To free the boot space, the company has so far gone to design the first portable subwoofer on the dashboard ever.

The first version of 2019 Volvo XC40 to arrive in March will be T5. Under the aluminum hood is the Volvo 2.0-liter four-in-1 turbocharged with 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission is the transmission and four-wheel drive. A few months after the arrival of the T5 will be joined by the T4, which will have a smaller turbocharged, 184 horsepower, and front push. With a 248 horsepower engine, the T5 punches are hard and drives an estimated 3,800 lbs. Volvo XC40 along quickly – claimed, and certified, from zero to 60 mph time is 6.2 seconds. There is no word yet about fuel economy, but we guess that EPA ratings will come in 24 mpg city and 31 highway.

It has been scanned by Volvo XC40. Whether in design and dynamics, 2019 Volvo XC40 is a more enjoyable way than we expect from such vehicles, here is a jump that bodes well for the riches of this model and the part in general. Pricing will begin at $34,195 for the 184,499 hp T4 with front-wheel drive. The strongest T5 model opens at $36,195 per Volvo XC40 Momentum. The top of the range (and the device we are doing in the launch program), the T5 I like R-Desin, comes at $38,695. Loaded with options, Volvo’s price can reach $45,000 past.

Alter the Sky

Alter the Sky Single Launch Party + Stevie Jones and the Wildfires + Kaine @ The Blue Moon, Cambridge

The Blue Moon played host to Alter The Sky’s Single launch party, supported by Stevie Jones and the Wildfires with their brand of folk rock and co-headliners Kaine carrying the torch for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM)

Stevie Jones and The Wildfires

Stevie Jones and the Wildfires

After the slight delay due to the late arrival of the drummer and guitarist, Stevie jones kicked the evening off with songs from his latest album Angels and Sirens. Very different to the following bands, covering themes of loss, love and the life, tribulations and sacrifices of a touring musician. Beautiful melodies tinged with sadness, soaring guitar breaks delivered with a voice of experience. A unique voice that at times in which you can hear the influence of The Levellers or New Model Army.

The partisan crowd, many of whom may have been geologists judging by the roar of approval when they came to play Stratigraphic Heart, were rewarded with a rousing set and some finely balanced playing between the acoustic guitar of Stevie and Vassilis’s electric lead in the blues based song Neon Underground. They closed out their set with This Is My Church taken from the Stratigraphic Hearts album, an anthemic celebration of the joy of discovery, a musical road and journey that defines the routes of this interesting musician.

Alter the Sky

Alter The Sky

This is a band that clearly knows how to enjoying itself on stage. The five piece classic hard rock outfit fronted by Helen Johnson ripped through a set of their own compositions with a respectful and fresh version of Whole Lotta Rosie. Accompanied by shouts of “Angus, Angus, Angus” Kev Baker duly obliged gurning and smiling throughout the solo part as he played to the audience.

The band produce a heavy, clear and coherent sound, well balanced and supported by  tight rhythms driven by drummer Arron Peters and Matt Scott’s bass playing.

Check out when we caught Alter the Sky at Homegrown Festival

Helens original voicing has a wide range but with power and subtlety that creates an exciting driving sound over the top of the guitar heaviness balancing the sound and lending it a fresh quality. Think iron fist in a kidd glove.

The dual guitar line-up adds extra weight to the sound and it is a real treat to see the communication between band members throughout the set to deliver a polished and professional performance that definitely got the crowd rocking.

The new EP Fortune Favours the Bold rounded out the set and I certainly look forward to hearing more from this band and their next release.

Hailed as flag bearers for the NWOBHM, I was immediately reminded of a youth spent following Judas Priest and early Iron Maiden around the City Hall venues across the UK. Their seamless wall of sound is truly impressive and Rage Sadler,  suitably attired in a Judas Priest T-shirt, gives everything in a relentless performance.

Now bear in mind that 1 month ago the guitarist, bass player and drummer left Rage high and dry with no band. That he managed to pull a band together in only four weeks to rehearse and get under their fingers material from the newly released album, rather appropriately titled A crisis of Faith,  deserves recognition for total commitment. On this performance you would have been hard pressed to tell this line up had only been together four weeks.

If like me, you still linger for the chest pounding excitement and energy to revel in the visceral experience of feeling and seeing a metal band in full flight at close quarters not 100 yards away in a stadium, then you owe it to yourself to catch this band on their current album tour. They are returning to the region 6 more times this year visiting the B2 in Norwich and The Smokehouse Ipswich when the whole band will be fully versed in the material. I’m booking my tickets now.

Day 9 | 30 Days of Prayer | Dubai

Posted on: February 06, 2016 Written by
Day 9 | 30 Days of Prayer | Dubai
Photography by: robertiez from iStock

We keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give these ladies the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that they may KNOW him better. We pray also that the eyes of their hearts may be ENLIGHTENED in order that they may know (and feel!) the HOPE to which He has called them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints (may they enjoy each other at the retreat), and may they experience His incomparably great power as they believe in Him.

Ephesians 1:17-19

The cry of these ladies’ hearts are to lean into and experience His presence in the midst of the mundane. We pray that the quiet, loving, powerful presence of God in each attendee’s life bring healing and forgiveness, especially for the trauma and hurts in their lives.

Lord we lift up Lebanon. This small country has suffered greatly over the last couple of months. Yet, Father God, we thank you for the remarkable openness to spiritual things in the 1990s in the Muslim, Druze, and Christian communities. Lebanon is still the only land in the Middle East where anyone is legally free to change their religious affiliation. Believers from most other Arab countries can more freely come to Lebanon for training. We pray that religious freedom might be maintained and that radical elements within the country wouldn’t destroy that.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

As much as I hate the humidity and heat inspired sweatfest that is summer in Washington DC, I have to admit that it is as magical a season as any other.

We completed the summer bucket list! OK, we cheated a little with the Nats game. We got tickets for a game that got rained out so we now have tickets for the re-match at the end of September.

August was the month of DINOSAURS. (or, at least, dinosaur crafts) We also watched the PBS series Dinosaur Train in French, and read the How Do Dinosaurs...? and Dinosaur vs series. Z asked for repeated readings of the "How Do" books, which he hasn't done for other books.

Yes, he got a haircut. Not my style choice!

Big dinosaur.

Little dinosaurs.

An intensely touching introduction story; this veteran is giving back to his fellow wounded soldiers by donating the profits from his song to a veterans charity.

Devotedly treating thyroid, other diseases in Melghat since 25 years

| TNN | Updated: Jan 24, 2018, 09:07 IST
(Representative Image)(Representative Image)
NAGPUR: In 1972, a medical surgical camp was held for the first time in Melghat by Rotary Club of Nagpur South (RCNS) at the suggestion by Dr Prakash Thosare. The club continued the initiative and has been conducting mega annual medical camp for the benefit of Korku Adivasis every year. The club completed 25 years of undertaking the initiative this year.
This year’s camp, held from January 16 to 18 followed by a two-day thyroid surgical workshop on January 20 and 21 saw a total 183 surgeries, including thyroid, cataract, and others, including cyst or hernia.

Along with the camp, a workshop was conducted for nearly 35 surgeons who came from all over the country. “The situation of thyroid surgery in India is like no-man’s-land. It is not well-defined and leaves much lacunae,” said ENT specialist Dr Madan Kapre.

Among the delegates was a dignitary in the field of head and neck surgery, practising surgeon at Imperial College Hospital Dr Neil Tolley, who is based in London.

The camp was set up at the rural hospital in Chikhaldara, where an adjoining hall and facility has been set up by the Rotary Club to aid the medical camp. Live communication during treatment was also enabled at the camp, wherein the delegates were allowed to see the entire process. The forest department helped the club by providing tribals pick-up and drop facilities, at several areas.

Amit Gokhle, president of RCNS, said that during the course of the camp, food was made for not just the patients and doctors but even for the relatives of the patients. “We have fed hygienically prepared khichdi to nearly 50,000 people on all days and had arranged for their stay as well at Nagar Parishad community halls,” he said.

Before the surgical camp, a satellite camp was conducted at Dharni in December to select patients. From 475 patients, only 84 were selected for the surgery. Teachers from Ekal Vidyalaya assisted Dr Abhishek Vaidya and his team in screening people. Woman volunteers of the club undertook the responsibility of spreading awareness about hygiene, nutrition and anti-tobacco habits.

Explaining the focus on thyroidism in hilly areas, member of RCNS Sanjay Tatwawadi said, “People who live in mountainous region are seen to have a deficiency of iodine, which is one of the castors causing goitre and thyroid, apart from tobacco consumption and lifestyle diseases.”

The capital for the camp is to the tune of about Rs7-8 lakh, collected from club members, surgeons and philanthropic individuals. Dr Deven Mahore, Dr Sunil Kawathe and Dr Prakash Kapre are among the devoted list of surgeons and volunteers who contributed to the camp.

Now, author files sexual harassment case against angel investor Mahesh Murthy

| TNN | Mar 21, 2018, 01:33 IST
File photoFile photo
MUMBAI: A month after angel investor Mahesh Murthy was granted bail in a sexual harassment case, an author lodged a complaint against him alleging that he sexually harassed her 14 years ago.

On Monday, Mumbai police registered an FIR against Murthy under IPC sections 354 and 509 for outraging the modesty of woman and an act intended to insult her modesty.

A senior police official said the complaint is over alleged advances Murthy allegedly made during a 2004 business meeting in a cafe in the western suburb. “Though the incident dates back to 2004, the woman recently learned of his arrest in the other case. She gathered courage and decided to lodge a complaint.”

In her complaint, the author alleged she was introduced to Murthy in 2000 during a business meeting. She told police that since he was a marketing expert, she discussed difficulties in securing advertisements.

In January 2004, she met Murthy at a coffee shop where he allegedly spoke “about his open marriage” and leaned and touched her inappropriately. Despite repeated attempts to contact him, the angel investor remained unavailable for comment. Murthy was arrested last month for allegedly stalking and sexually harassing a Delhi woman in early 2017. He was released on bail hours later.

The Problem of Christian Celebrities

It appears that in Galatians 2 Paul has some strikingly sarcastic things to say about the apostolic leaders in Jerusalem.  He refers to them four times with variations of the expression “those who seem to be something” in vv. 2-9.  Is Paul picking a fight with Peter, James, and John, pillars of the early church?

I don’t think so.  It seems that the Jewish-Christian missionaries from Jerusalem who are persuading the gentiles in Galatia to convert to Judaism in order to enjoy God’s salvation in Christ are “name-dropping.”

Among other strategies, they are likely trying to impress the Galatians with the credential of their connection to the “big boys” in Jerusalem.  They are indicating—inappropriately—that “the pillars” support their case that gentiles must be circumcised and observe the Law of Moses in order to be set right before God.

Rembrandt, “Two Old Men Disputing”

Paul doesn’t criticize the Jerusalem leaders, but calls out the Galatians’ inappropriate regard for them.  Rather than exalting Peter, James, and John as larger than life, their opinion ought to match God’s, who shows favoritism to no one (v. 6).

The problem for Paul, then, is not the presence of leaders and teachers in the church, but rather that the Galatians are so in awe of Peter, James, and John that they’re considering abandoning the gospel.

The problem is that Christian people can be moved to take on disobedient modes of life because of a perverted regard for prominent figures.

This isn’t a problem that has gone away.  Similar dynamics of celebrity-worship pervade evangelical Christianity.

The existence of this or that well-known speaker, teacher, scholar, writer is not the problem.  The trouble starts when we line up behind them and make them “team captains,” fighting against other Christians as opponents.  This dynamic has fueled the tribalism that configures the current state of a Corinthianized evangelicalism.

Well-known figures can be gifts to the church.  Let’s learn from them and consider what they say in order to orient and shape lives of faithfulness to Jesus.

Well-known figures are also flawed, like Peter (Gal. 2:11-21).  Let’s not set them up as unquestioned authorities, and let’s most definitely avoid lining up behind them and dividing into teams to fight one another.

Island Bet will offer virtual games as well as sports and political betting

Jamaican mobile sports betting pioneer Island Bet is to launch its virtual gaming and downloadable application this month on the back of the success of its election betting market.

Island Bet, owned by Sizzling Slots, became the first operator to offer political betting in the Caribbean country earlier this year, and claimed to have doubled its number of active customers during the general election in February.

Now the company has told Jamaica’s Sunday Business newspaper that it is to invest "roughly $50m (€45.0m) over the next three months" in its virtual betting and mobile app.

"We have actually recently done an upgrade to the system based on what our customers were saying. The downloadable version will be available through the IOS and Google Play Stores," said Adam Epstein, Sizzling Slots’ managing director and chief operating officer.

The tech start-up and bookmaker went live in September 2015 through its platform IslandBet.com, and already offers markets on 50 sports.

The possibilities offered by gambling in the Caribbean and Latin America will be discussed at this year’s Juegos Miami event, which takes place at The Biltmore, Coral Gables in Miami from May 31 to June 3.

- For more information visit www.juegosmiami.com. To apply for your invitation* visit www.juegosmiami.com to find out more, follow @JuegosMiami on Twitter and visit the event’s Facebook page for further information and the latest updates.

* Attendance at Juegos Miami will be limited to senior decision makers (owner, director, C-Level exec) from operating companies (private and public including state lotteries), government and regulators from the Latin America and Caribbean region.

Is Bitcoin a ‘fad’?

Is Bitcoin a ‘fad’?

Tuesday, April 5, 2016 Totally Gaming
Bitcasino rejects criticism of virtual currency after successful year

Mark McGuinness, a spokesman for, has hit out at claims that the Bitcoin virtual currency is just a ‘fad’ after the operator posted significant year-on-year financial growth during the 12 months through to December 31, 2015.

The world’s first licensed and regulated Bitcoin-only online gambling operator, launched its services in January 2014 and has enjoyed plenty of success over the past two years.

In 2015, the operator generated turnover that was 1,370 per cent higher than in its first year of operation. Progressive jackpots in the period amounted to a total of €14m ($15.9m), while punters in more than 140 countries around the world visited the site to participate in games.

Reflecting on the past year of business, McGuinness said that the firm’s growth should go a long way towards dispelling any talk about Bitcoin’s popularity slumping, stating that it is becoming more accepted as a mainstream form of gambling.

“Many industry observers have referred to Bitcoin as a niche product and a fad,” McGuinness said. “This is far from the reality; Bitcoin gambling continues to gain mainstream acceptance amongst players, particularly the millennial demographic and it will continue its growth trajectory into 2016 and beyond.

“2015 was an important year for industry awareness and player acceptance of Bitcoin as a ‘seamless gambling chip’ helped become the premier destination for discrete Bitcoin gambling.” says:

While industry observers suggest that it is highly unlikely that Bitcoin will ever become as popular as real-money gaming, it certainly has a place in the gambling world. The use of virtual currency in gaming is something that is becoming more popular, due in part to the rise of social games in recent years. If the success of is anything to go by, we are only likely to see further uptake in virtual currency gambling over the next 12 months and beyond.

DARWIN – A CHINESE PORT                                                                          China has expressed concern over the Strait of Malacca as a vunerable choke point for its energy supplies from the Middle East oilfields. In the near future two strategic straits may enter maritime discussions, the Torres Strait and the Bering Strait.                                The 99 year lease of Darwin port to  Landbridge, a Chinese company, by the Northern Territory government has now acquired an added significance. Darwin is well placed for Chinese authorities to monitor and provide services to commercial and other shipping using the choke points of the Lombok and Torres Straits and the developing oil fields in the Timor Sea. Both these straits are used by the West Australian iron ore trade to China and the by vessels bound for east Asian ports and North America.                                    Darwin could well become a valuable strategic pendant hanging of the ‘string of pearls’ within the One Belt One Road Chinese expansion policy

MALACCA, LOMBOK & TORRES STRAITS (csba-airsea- battle.jpg)

CHOKE POINTS & MARITIME TRADE                                                    Choke points are critical to the protection of maritime trade routes. With  China expressing concern on Indian navy surveillance of its military vessels in the Malacca Strait the increasing importance of the Lombok and Torres Straits are becoming apparent. The Torres Strait is the only direct route between the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is nominally under the control of the United Nations Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the navigable channel for commercial shipping is 800m wide and 13m deep. This constitutes a navigational and stategic choke point. Control of choke points in times of international tension or hostilities is vital for the preservation of national interests. Examples of srategic choke points are: the Danish Strait into the Baltic Sea, the Straits of Dover into the North Sea, the Strait of Gibralter into the Mediterranean , the Gulf of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf, the Malacca Strait into the South China Sea. The Lombok and Torres Straits are now becoming increasingly important as safe maritime passages, as a consequence military build up will follow. Those with vested interests  are Australia, Indonesia and China.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHINA. ARCTIC TRADE ROUTES  (Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration)

As an extension to this scenario the Bering Strait between the United States and Russia is looming as a choke point with China very much ‘The Third Man’. Commercial shipping has doubled over the past five years and will steadily increase as the Arctic ice cap melts to create wider, safer seaways. China is developing trade routes west to Europe and east to Canada and the United States. Unfortunately Australia is situated far to the east distant from the trading hubs, but could become a way point for oil imports to China from the Persian Gulf.

Today’s townland is Multyhogy. That name looks odd, but it makes more sense when you know that it comes from the Irish Muilte Sheoigigh meaning “Joy’s mills”.

The townland of Multyhogy is in East Belfast. A more common name for this area is Orangefield.

My walk through Multyhogy followed the Connswater Community Greenway.

Back in 2015 I blogged from the route of the Comber Greenway, and just noted that work was beginning in Connswater. Since then, pathways, bridges, signs, artwork, a vistor’s centre, gallery and café have all been created, with the official opening of the Greenway taking place on 14th September 2017.

I was impressed with the maps and brochures available from the friendly staff in the Visitor’s Centre at C S Lewis Square, showing the Greenway’s connections with C S Lewis and Van Morrison.

The Comber Greenway follows a disused railway line, but the Connswater Greenway runs through parks and along riverbanks.

The rivers create boundaries between townlands, with the Connswater river separating Ballyhackamore from Ballymacarrett;  the Loop river separating Ballyrushboy from Ballymaconaghy; and the one that I was following, the Knock river, separating Ballyhackamore from Multyhogy.

Of course, townland boundaries mean nothing to spaniels.

Multyhogy is an urban townland, but the wildflowers looked lovely, even in October.

The trails are well-signposted, and well-supplied with benches and information panels.

Using the leaf and seed guide above, I identify this as the “grey squirrel tree”.

I am left with a question. Does anyone know how to pronounce Multyhogy?

more information

Which county is Multyhogy in?  County Down

Which civil parish is Multyhogy in?  Knockbreda

Which townlands border Multyhogy? To the north, Ballyhackamore.  To the east, Knock and Carnamuck.  To the west, Ballyrushboy, Ballymaconaghy  and Lishnasharragh.

Click here for a map of Multyhogy on Townlands.IE.

Emergency Dentist Port St Lucie | What are the Most Common Dental Emergencies?

Emergency Dentist Port St Lucie | What are the Most Common Dental Emergencies?

You should have an Emergency Dentist Port St. Lucie to turn to whenever you’re dealing with a serious dental health issue that needs to be addressed in the middle of the night, on a holiday or weekend. Instead of waiting for your regular dentist to open his clinic doors on normal office hours, why don’t you just call your Emergency Dentist Port St. Lucie or visit an emergency room?

When Do I Need to Call an Emergency Dentist?

It’s extremely important to know the difference between a normal dental problem that can wait until morning and a real and potentially life-threatening dental emergency. You’ll need to call an emergency dentist Port St. Lucie if you experience any of the following issues:

Chipped or Cracked Tooth

Do you have an extremely painful or a serious fracture? If you do, it’s best to use warm water to clean your mouth prior to applying a cold compress to the outside of your face to prevent or reduce swelling. You may need to take over-the-counter painkillers as needed. However, excessive use of these painkillers or numbing gel can eventually damage the gums.

Knocked Out Tooth

According to the American Association of Endodontists, it’s possible for an Emergency Dentist Port St. Lucie to preserve and reinsert a knocked-out tooth if this is treated ASAP. You’ll only need to pick up the missing tooth by its top while avoiding to touch the root. Next, rinse it but never scrub it. You can also reinsert the tooth in the socket or place it in a small jar with milk too.

Dental Abscess

An abscessed tooth develops when a pocket of pus in the affected tooth leads to an infection. Symptoms of which include tooth sensitivity to hot and cold, fever, tender lymph nodes in the neck, a bump in the gums that’s similar to a pimple, chronic severe toothache, and swelling in the face. If this is left untreated, the infection could spread into the patient’s jawbone, its surrounding tissues as well as the other parts of the body. Before you head down to the nearest emergency room, make sure that you rinse your mouth with a mild salt solution to draw the pus to the surface and to reduce the pain.

Self-Humbling through Fasting -Derek Prince

This is a timely message from Derek Prince on Fasting.Listen and enjoy!

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Joe 2:12-13, Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Est 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

The Postcard: Seville, Dublin, Cuba and Hawaii

Argentina has tango and Spain has flamenco. Attending a show in Sevilla was definitely on the top of my list of things to do, and it did not disappoint. The skill of the dancers was so amazing. They moved so fast, their feet were nothing but a blur. Sevilla was also one of my favourite cities to visit. Walking around the city was fantastic, with lots of history, beautiful architecture and cozy cafes.

How to Explore Iceland with Kids

For those considering taking your little ones to Iceland, I would say do it! I found a deal on WOW airlines (and I actually have no complaints about them!) for $99/each way from LAX. I took my 5-year-old and it was quite the experience. We had the opportunity to take a South Coast tour, go to the Blue Lagoon, check out a chocolate factory, explore Reykjavic, and try Icelandic hot dogs (okay, I had like 8 throughout the trip). Word of advice – it is expensive for food ($10-$15 for kid’s meals), but grocery shopping is the way to go to save. Kids are free for most of the tours and the Blue Lagoon, so take advantage of it.

We flew from Phoenix to Los Angeles and we boarded our flight to Reykjavic. It was long, however, since we do this thing where we don’t sleep the night before, my son and I slept pretty much the full 9 hours.

 After we arrived, we took a bus directly from the airport to the Blue Lagoon. we got in at 4am there and couldn’t check into our accommodations until 3pm, so had to buy time. Kids are free, which is a bonus, and they had a bag check + lockers, so it was convenient. The Blue Lagoon was empty when we arrived, however, as we were leaving it was busier. Although it was a very ‘touristy’ thing, we enjoyed it – from the beautiful, warm water to the face masks.  We relaxed there until around check in and took a bus to Reykjavik (you can book this transportation when booking tickets to the Blue Lagoon).

We rented a 2 bedroom apartment that was a block from the city area, so it was super convenient. Although it was a little difficult to maneuver with the street signs, mostly everyone spoke English, so it was helpful. Our apartment had cable, internet, a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a bath. It was perfect for the stay and was walking distance from everything.

Day 2, we went on the South Coast Tour which was an 11-hour tour on a bus. We hiked Sólheimajökull glacier, watched the powerful Atlantic waves crashing on the black sands on Reynisfjara black sand beach, explored the coastal village of Vik, admired Skógafoss waterfall, and viewed Seljalandsfoss waterfall. It was amazing – and best part was that kids were free!

You will learn, Iceland is very expensive. We went grocery shopping to soften those costs, which allowed us to get Icelandic snacks and experience grocery stores there. We also walked everywhere – but just bundled up. It was a bit chilly!

Take note that the weather is unpredictable. The forecast said 45-50 degrees before we got there…it ended up being in the 30’s and 40’s and snowy most of the days (one of the days feeling like 23 degrees), so be prepared for anything!

Also, you may have heard about Icelandic hot dogs, and the truth is, I still crave them today. They consist of Icelandic lamb, pork and beef and they are in natural casing. It’s the toppings that are amazing, too! They put fried onions and onions on the bun, under the hot dog and then ketchup, a sweet brown mustard, and remoulade (sauce with mayo, capers, mustard, and herbs) on top. It was literally my go-to meal there.

Don’t forget to visit Omnom Chocolate for a tour! It will feel like you are in Willy Wonka’s factory…and you will get full on chocolate samples! Mostly, have fun and enjoy!

One thought on “How to Explore Iceland with Kids

  1. Hehe that’s a lot of hot dogs! I’ve only had a layover in Iceland, but was also struck by how expensive food was. That’s a good tip about grocery shopping being cheaper — will keep that in mind for when I go to Iceland properly. Looks like you guys had a blast!
