Last Pulse this Year:-)

Time for SIN’s Christmas Pulse:-)
If you are one of us who is staying in Oslo for Christmas and still don’t know what to do, I managed to find some ideas for you:-)
1. If you are not up to sitting at home on Christmas Eve and you are also one of those who want to make a difference, there is a possibility to participate in an event called “Alternative Christmas”. You can volunteer for helping those who don’t have a possibility for normal Christmas celebration (the drug users, alcoholics, homeless or just the ones who don’t have anyone to celebrate Christmas with).All the info is available at http://www.alternativjul.no/index.html. There you’ll find the timetable for shifts as well as how you can apply for being a volunteer. It’s going to take place at : Oslo Kongressenter in Folkets Hus at Youngstorget
2. While you are impatient and really looking forward to Christmas there is an International knitting exhibition. Well, it can also give you some inspiration on what to do on Christmas Eve. The exhibition presents an exciting meeting with a new, strong field of art. It deals with roles, expectations, traditions, breaches and provocations. Artists and craftsmen from Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Germany and USA show the diversity in knitting as an artistic language today. It’s at KunstindustrimuseetAddress: St. Olavs gate 1
Free of charge
3.The closing event for today’s Christmas Pulse is Frank Znort Lille Julaften. It’s a concert of Frank Znort Quartet at Blå, 21.00 on Sunday 23 of December.
Free of charge.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Stay tuned for Snakker ikke Norsk next semester:-)

Christmas Cookies recipe

Since it is christmas time, cookies come natrually on the radar,
and if you are not in the mood for it by now, maybe this norwegian cookies recipe will help

1 ½ Cups of shortening
1 ½ Cups of sugar
1 Egg yolk and 1 whole egg
2 ½ Cups of flour
½ Teaspoon of ground
cardamom
½ Teaspoon of cinnamon
1 Cup of almonds, ground
1 Tablespoon of orange juice

Cream the shortening and sugar and add the beaten yolk and egg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients and the blanched, ground almonds together. Combine the mixtures and add the orange juice. Chill the dough, then roll thin, cut in fancy shapes and bake a few minutes at 200 Celsius. They must be watched carefully.

Enjoy and merry Christmas!

Pulse Week 49

Time for traditional Oslo low-budget PulseJ
1. The first event is a guitar concert of a Japanese guitar player Tetuzi Akiyama with his Norwegian friends. The musical instruments represented in the concert will be: guitars, saxophone, trumpet and tuba. The 9th of December it’s posible to hear them live at the Norwegian Academy of Music at 19.00. Free of charge.
2. Are you up to yet another Norwegian movie with English subtitles? This time it’s a legendary “Cool and Crazy”, I would say a “must watch” in the Norwegian movies list. With Cool and Crazy one of Norway's most experienced and renowned feature film directors is bringing to the screen a world he knows and loves. And he does it in the spirit of the people he portrays, with irreverence and wit and highly charged. For some this will be a film about men. For others it will be about love. Or politics. Or fish. Above all it is about the dignity of ordinary lives lived under extreme circumstances. For those that loved Buena Vista Social Club - this is the answer. It’s in Cinemateket on Thursday, 6th of December at 16.30 Free of charge
3. The next event on my Pulse agenda today is a jazz concert of Papa k kvintett. Jazz and improvisation with inspiration from soul,ska,Dolphy, surf and William Blake.More info is available at myspace.com/papakkvintett The concert is on Thursday, 6th of December at Mogador Café at 21.00. Free of charge.Students at Oslo Art University College arrange their yearly Christmas marked. Just an idea for some Christmas presentsJ.It’s on 8th and 9th of December from 11 till 16.00 back Oslo Domkirke
