	Tomte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tomte ['tɔ`m:tɛ] or nisse ['nìs:ɛ] is a mythical creature of Scandinavian folklore, believed to take care of a farmer's home and barn and protect it from misfortune, in particular at night, when the housefolk were asleep.
		Nisse is the common name in Norwegian, Danish and the Scanian dialect in southernmost Sweden; it is a nickname for Nils, and its usage in folklore comes from expressions such as Nisse god dreng ("Nisse good lad," cf.
		In the 1840's the farm's "nisse" became the bearer of Christmas presents in Denmark, and was then called "julenisse".

		Nisse has now embarked on a new project -- a grand modification of the traditional anagama kilns, incorporating water into the firing technique -- 'Aquagama'.
		Nisse also states that "water-vapour in the kiln atmosphere will undoubtedly lead to a substantial lowering of the viscosity of glazes and liquid phases - hence give a noticeable lowering of the sintering- and/or maturing temperature of most ceramic compositions".
		Nisse started his ceramic career as an apprentice to Gunnar Nylund, a ceramic designer and sculptor.

	The Merry Nisse by Brad Steiger published by Fate Magazine 2000-03-01
		I remember discussing the nisse with a friend in the Mesquaki (Fox) tribe, who said that they never forgot to leave an offering of food for their household spirit’s evening nourishment.
		On that long-ago evening when I caught a nisse watching my parents, I believe that I suprised him as much as he did me, but he quickly regained his composure and gave me a strange kind of smile that was as benevolent as it was puckish.
		Because of my childhood meeting with a nisse, I learned at an early age that our species is part of a larger community of intelligences, a far more complex hierarchy of powers and principalities-both seen and unseen, physical and nonphysical-than most of us are bold enough to believe.

	SoundStage! Equipment Review - Norwex B-2 Nisse Loudspeakers (6/2000)
		The Norwex B-2 Nisse is a small two-way speaker sporting a 4.5" midrange/woofer and a 1" soft-dome tweeter (both of Scandinavian origin) in a 5.3 liter cabinet with a single rear port.
		Once optimally placed on a bookshelf, however, the B-2 Nisse speakers become as physically invisible as they are sonically formidable, and I cannot think of any speaker that offers them competition in such placement.
		While the Norwex B-2 Nisse may not be every audiophile’s nectar of the Gods, I suspect that people who put the music before their equipment may find them their cup of tea.

	Home Theater & Sound Equipment Review -- Norwex B-2 Nisse / C-1 Diverg / SW-1 Troll Home-Theater Speaker System ...
		The ported cabinet was finished in a gloss-fl finish and factory-fitted with a connector for wall-mount speaker brackets.
		This led me to wonder how the B-2 Nisse would fare against some of the affordable two-channel loudspeakers that have so impressed me of late, so I unpacked my $275 per pair, Axiom Audio Millennia M3Ti and set them on stands next to the B-2 Nisses.
		The main loudspeakers -- the B-2 Nisse -- can sound pleasant, but have a chesty emphasis of the upper midrange and a tendency to boom when stressed.
