- In English and Norwegian

They are small. They are active. They are predators.

De er små. De er aktive. De er rovdyr.


Have you ever seen how much mess they can create?

Har du noen gang sett hvor mye rot de kan skape?


Think about this - about Cats and Birds:
Tenk gjennom dette - om katter og fugler:


We are allmost 5 million people living in Norway. - Vi er nesten 5 millioner mennesker som bor i Norge.


Here we have about 500.000 Cats. - Her har vi omtrent 500.000 katter.


It's said they kill 10 birds a year in average. - De sies at de dreper 10 fugler i gjennomsnitt i året.


That means 5 million Birds. - Det betyr 5 millioner fugler.


Cruel? - Grusomt?


Think about it, if the Cats did not kill all those Birds. - Tenk på det, om kattene ikke drepte alle disse fuglene.


How many Birds would we then have had here? Each Bird couple with 5 small birds each year. - Hvor mange fugler ville vi da ha hatt? Hvert fuglepar med 5 fuglunger hvert år.


2.500.000 Birdmothers x 5= 12.500.000 new birds extra pr year. The first year. After 5 years? Ten years?

2.500.000 fuglemødre x 5= 12.500.000 nye fugler ekstra pr år. Det første året. Etter 5 år? Ti år?

Don't think about it. Just an advice
Ikke tenk på det. Kun en anbefaling.

Have a nice, problemfree week to come. - Ha en hyggelig, problemfri kommende uke.

ABC - A på Norsk - Nordisk

Hei igjen alle ABCere. Denne gangen er jeg på min andre blog. Og nå på norsk.
Så nå skal jeg gjøre det enkelt? Eller?

Joda, jeg kan skrive på norsk også. Så slipper dere å følge med på den halsbrekkende øvelsen i forrige runde: Samme begrep/ting på engelsk og norsk som begynner på samme bokstav.
Ble jo noen svært vanskelige runder, men jeg takker for alle oppmuntringer og positive tilbakemeldinger. Det har vært virkelig inspirerende.

I det norske vokabular har vi flere ord som skrives likt, men har ulike betydninger.
Jeg tenkte det kunne være et passende tema. Petunia har jo rådet oss til å holde oss til et tema gjennom disse 29 nye ukene. Så jeg tar utfordringen, selv om jeg allerede nå erkjenner visse bokstaver vil by på uoverstigelige problemer. Men, da får jeg heller bruke fantasien.

Ny runde, nye muligheter. Er det ikke så vi sier?
Har du et navn der A forekommer? Da har du flere muligheter. Nysgjerrige? Klikk da vel.


Man skal ikke spøke med slikt. Så ukens bilde i ABC i ord og bilder er:
Ja, nettopp: Aper.
Bildet er tatt i en offentlig park i Nancy nord i Frankrike.
Jeg har mange gode minner fra denne byen. Blant annet var jeg med i en norsk teatergruppe som gjestet teatret der i 1968. Regissør var Sossen Krohg, som kanskje mange av dere best kjenner fra Hotell Cesar. Vi vant publikumsprisen under den internasjonale teaterfestivalen det året. Siden det var en teater-festival, skulle man trodd vi spilte i et teater, men faktum er at "huset" heter "Opera de Lorraine". I år var fasaden under oppussing. Likevel rart å se igjen 41 år etter.

Men, så var det det å bety noe annet:
Aper - hermer etter. Ikke sant?

Her er gjengen i runde to av ABC i ord og bilder på - jeg får vel si - nordisk.

Felicia - her first Birth

Felicia is a Cat of the Manx Breed.
In many ways very different from the normal Norwegian domestic Cats.
We have for the last 20 years learned to know these special cats, and they have
since then become our favourite ones.
We have both have had Cats in our families since born. Of different breeds.

Around Midnight Thursday to Friday, we realized Felicia at last would give birth to
her kittens.

Here is the first kitten arriving. BUT - feets first? How will this end?

It was really traumatic. We did observerve her Birth pang around Midnight.

The first one arrived around 2 am. After 2 hours. So beautiful. And you see, a Manx - tailless.

But: Dead when born. To large for it's Mother's first baby. Tragic. Felicia struggled for 2 hours.
And we did our best to help her and her first born. In vain.

The second arived around 4 am. Papa went to sleep.
Number 3 arrived around 13:30 am

and the 4th one around 4 pm the next Day. Here they are all the 4 of them.

Rosa had to look after her sister as well.

There will be upcoming stories about Felicia and her kittens

My comment: The Destination Questions says really nothing. It's only an indication. Special when coming to Europe. Even Capitals are missing. Tells me a lot of the Questioner than the travellers

My Question and effort:

Can WordPress calculate?

I'm not at all a math specialist.

I thought 2 + 77 = 79. Am I wrong?

I retried:

5 + 97 = 102

Wrong again.

Don't give up.

2 + 97= 99

Wrong again. Huuu?

But:

10 + 47=57

Sorry wrong again

Heck, I do not give up:

4 + 67=71

Wrong again.

But:

2 + 67= 69

All in vain.

Sorry Claudie.

I am not able to comment.

Ylajali - fullkommen semesteravslutning i Dataforeningen

Fagruppen Ledelse og Strategi i Dataforeningen har hatt noen meget vellykkede arrangementer i løpet av 2008. Det gav styret og arrangementskomiteene anleding til å ha en gastronomisk opplevelse på restaurant Ylajali på St. Olavs plass i Oslo.

Maten var himmelsk og smakene var utrolig og utsøkt satt sammen.
Jeg har ingen bilder fra matrettene (savnet Renny), kun av noen av mine oppskattede faglige inspiratorer gjennom mange år, mens vi alle koste oss med mat og drikke.

Her er noen bilder fra bordet, tatt med et ordinært kamera.Men jeg savner bilder fra "min" side av bordet. Så send meg det for å gjøre bordet komplett - du som har.





Av en eller annen grunn: Det virker som vi er krystallbelyste;))
Må jo være en forsamling av lyse hoder, eller hva?

SCARY - PHOTO HUNT

No more Photos allowed unless I pay an unknown amount of Money

I do think Blogspot is way out of normal marketing behaviour

More scary here

Rubens Urn Interment - October 22 - 2008
Oooops -noen bilder er hulterdebulder - linja er nå på trynet langsomt 7.1 kb . Steinalder

It was a beautiful Autumn early afternoon. The Sky was blue. Sun Shining. A little breeze from the South. The temperature in Oslo to be above normal this time of year.

Still colourful leafes on the trees and on the ground. Flowers around the Graves. At Nordre Gravlund (North Graveyard). Silence. Only some whispers from the wind touching the last leafes. Whispers to the ones that have found their last rest and for those that have no chance but one day also find the eternal rest.

A very special mood. Papa and Anna arrived 1 hour before. Needed some time in Peace. To remember. To reflect. To think. To observe. To respect a person that dedicated himself and his life to the ones that needed it the most.


Something Practical - you see the person to the left?
What did he bring?

The Urne - in a Cagde - What a feeling

We know, his friends miss Ruben at least as much as we do.

The Stone - My grandma was 34 when my Father Was Born - hmmm
Here is mama

In the following is some photos from the ceremony. It was heartbraking.



We can not still believe it

Ruben is #4 in the family Grave. Should have been # 9-12.


Papa and Niklas did bring the Urn into the Hole in the Ground.

Then, all the Family and friends shuffled some soil upon the Urn. That was very emotional.

Some plantes and flowers were placed upon.
Then silence and grief and tears.

Ruben we miss you.

Forever my First Son.
PS. Paps er utrolig trett og evig trist
