Benk Kaffe Bar - Sandnes - May updates




May updates from my favorite Barista...

Cigar
17 May cigar.




Posted by: Thomas Date: 01/01/1970
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should be a good engaged to smoke one of the really good cigars. Padron Series 1926 No.9 is a Nicaraguan cigar for the big occasions. Powerful and complex with wonderful aromas of spices, hay, fruits and dark chocolate. Was named this year's cigar in the cigar aficionado in 2007, where they gave it 97 points. This cigar is great for a young nebbiolobasert red wine (recommended by Augusto Cigar).

update
point by point.

Posted by: Thomas Date: 09/05/2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it has happened so much that we I do not quite know where to begin. Therefore, it is a good old-fashioned lit:

1. NM coffee:
Thomas and Kevin went to Oslo to participate in, respectively, making coffee and tea making. It was a very inspired and informative tour, where Thomas came home with a 3rd place and Kevin with a 16th place. It must be mentioned that Kevin has only worked for half a year of coffee. That he at all qualified for the semi-finals in Oslo thereof struck many seasoned bari leftovers is a great presentation that bodes well for the coming year and for those of discerning customers are on the bench.

2. Tirsdagscuppingene: (*Tuesday Cupping - didn't translate for some reason)
Here we have faithfully (except Tuesday) implemented fun and educational tastings for our customers. It is a pleasure to see how many people will benefit from this. I hope that many more have the ability and desire to come. Next cupping is Tuesday at 17.00 on the bench and it is as always, free.

3. New cigars:
Away from London, we had new cigars. Previously we had a simple choice, ala a bad tax-free. Now we are happy to have several exciting cigars:

Don Pepin Garcia Blue Invictus (Nicaragua)
Tatuaje Havana VI angeles (Nicaragua)
Padron 1926 Series No.9 (Nicaraguans)
Ramon Allon Specially Selected (cuba)
El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme (cuba)
Romeo Y Julietta Hermoso No.2 EL 2004 (cuba)

Several of cigars is saved!

OsloBG - Blog Gathering

Official Program Site

RennyBA’s Terella

Official Program Site


Oslo Blog Gathering 2010 – The Official Program Site

Visit Oslo, the capital of Norway:


August 18th – 22nd to explore the city and Norway’s history, culture and traditions!



A compact guided adventure invited by RennyBA’s Terella, to give everyone in Blogsphere a chance to see some of the attractions presented on this blog over the last four years.


After the first day’s guided tour: Highlights of Oslo, you’ll learn how to navigate, use the public transportation and chose your favourite attractions such as museums, historical buildings, shopping, boat trips or hiking in the woods.




Blogging Connecting People:

As an active networker I enjoy using social media and blogging extensively. Through this I have met many nice people online which I am curious about, and would like to meet personally. This is the reason behind this project and no other – I am not sponsored by any tourist group or agency, or any of the local hotels.
However being a network evangelist and traveller I have a lot of experience in planning and some good connections in the local area. I have used my capability to try and arrange a good offer for those who wish to come together and meet while exploring Oslo and hope many of you will join us. This is not a commercial venture for me and I do not earn anything on the participation.

The Program:

18th: Participants arriving from all over the world
19th: 10AM – 1PM – Highlights of Oslo – A compact guided tour
19th: 5PM – Grand opening by The Mayor of Oslo
20th and 21st – Daytime: Free choice of Oslo attractions, some guided by locals

Yohan - barnevandrer, Norwegian children's film

Norway in focus for children’s films
April 30, 2010

An international children’s film festival opened in the southern city of Kristiansand this week, close to the setting of a current Norwegian film that tells the story of a painful period for children in Norway’s history. The market for children’s films and TV productions, meanwhile, is itself far from painful today.

The Kristiansand International Film Festival has attracted top talent from around the world, had 95 films on its program and was set to hand out four prizes during the weekend. Among those attending, and interviewed on national radio Friday morning, was Josh Selig, who played a key role in the legendary “Sesame Street” program and has won 10 Emmy Awards in the US.

He was full of praise for Norwegian children’s films and TV programs, telling Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) that there was “so much local talent here.” Film festival boss Frank Mosvold said he thought the film festival can provide “an incredibly good boost” for Norwegian production of film and TV-series for children.

Child labour migrants captured on film
One recent success has been the film Yohan – barnevandrer, which tells the little-known story of how hard life was for Norwegian children from poor farms at the end of the 1800s. Many parents, unable to feed their large families, were forced to send their children as young as six years old to live and work on other, more prosperous farms during the summer season. The children had to walk, often barefoot, from the valley of Setesdal in southern Norway, for example, and over the mountains to coastal areas, where they worked hard under difficult conditions and often were abused.

The flocks of children dressed in rags, sleeping outdoors or in barns with the animals, is a chapter in Norwegian history that’s had little focus over the years. The film portrays the sharp contrast between their plight set against the spectacular scenery for which Norway is much better known.

It took director and script writer Grete Salomonsen 20 years to make the film, which features the American actor Kris Kristofferson playing the grown-up child hero of the film, Yohan, who eventually emigrated to a better life in the US.

In the course of her work, Salomonsen met one former child migrant, 100-year-old Anna Birkeland of Wisconsin, who also ultimately emigrated to America and had never told her own children how difficult her childhood in Norway had been.

The film has won awards since its release before Easter, has attracted audiences of all ages and, reported newspaper Dagsavisen, the interest of 20th Century Fox. It’s been seen by around 90,000 Norwegians and is still playing in local cinemas.

TV series, too
Other recent Norwegian successes in the children’s entertainment industry include Pelle Politibil, which will take on the English name of “Ploddy the Police Car” when it’s exported to China and other international markets, and Knerten, a film series about a stick figure that’s the subject of popular children’s books by the late author Anne Cath Vestly.

Children’s films have attracted some of the biggest crowds in Norwegian cinemas over the past several months, which bodes well for an industry that can have high production costs. Strong interest in the home market, noted Selig, can make the films more attractive for export to other countries, with the revenues that can bring.
