Christmas in Stockholm and Christmas food

I usually stick to traditions. During Christmas times there are a lot of restaurants and event that offer Christmas dinner, but usually the dinners are before Christmas evening and I don’t’ like to east Christmas dinner before that.

This year I came across this page / Tourist website that offers Dinner in a genuine old fashion boat and also Swedish Christmas dinner. I must say it really looks interesting and I think that I will actually take my family to this nice little boat trip.

anyone had any experience with this kind of trips?

The sailing stones - Sliding rocks

The sailing stones, also known as sliding rocks and moving rocks, are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is the subject of research.
Racetrack stones only move every two or three years and most tracks develop over three or four years. Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks while those with smooth bottoms wander. Stones sometimes turn over, exposing another edge to the ground and leaving a different track in the stone's wake.
Sliding rock trails fluctuate in direction and length. Some rocks which start next to each other start out traveling parallel, but one may abruptly change direction to the left, right, or even back the direction it came from. Length also varies because two similarly sized and shaped rocks could travel uniformly, then one could burst ahead or stop dead in its track.
The stones are rarely transported and no one has witnessed their movement, so the speeds at which the rocks travel are unknown. Article based on:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_stones

Image of the day by NASA - Sun and Moon

On Oct. 7, 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, observed its first lunar transit when the new moon passed directly between the spacecraft (in its geosynchronous orbit) and the sun. With SDO watching the sun in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light, the dark moon created a partial eclipse of the sun.
