The Ballad of the Louvin Brothers
It Books, Paperback, 9780062069047, 297pp.
Publication Date: January 2, 2013
The beautiful and tragic saga of the Louvin Brothers--one of the most legendary country duos of all time--is one of America's great untold stories. Charlie Louvin was a good, God-fearing, churchgoing singer, but his brother, Ira, had the devil in him and was known for smashing his mandolin to splinters onstage, cussing out Elvis Presley, and trying to strangle his third wife with a telephone cord.
With a moving foreword by Kris Kristofferson, Satan Is Real is the incredible tale of Charlie Louvin's sixty-five-year career, the timeless murder ballads of the Louvin Brothers, and the epic tale of two brothers bound together by love, hate, alcohol, blood, and music.
Benjamin Whitmer is the author of the novel Pike and a lifelong country music fan. He lives and writes in Denver.
Born in Henagar, Alabama, Charlie Louvin recorded from 1947 to 1962 with his brother, Ira, as the Louvin Brothers. In 1955, they became members of the Grand Ole Opry and churned out thirteen hits on the Billboard country chart, including "When I Stop Dreaming," "Cash on the Barrelhead," and "Knoxville Girl." Charlie's solo career began in 1964 with the top five hit "I Don't Love You Anymore," and he followed it with twenty-nine Billboard-charting singles and four Grammy nominations.
Benjamin Whitmer is the author of the novel Pike and a lifelong country music fan. He lives and writes in Denver.
"One of the most important and illuminating memoirs ever written by a country singer."

-Chris Talbott, Associated Press
"Satan Is Real has the best-designed book cover of 2012 ."

-Alec Solomita, Wall Street Journal
"Raw honesty, genuine grit, common sense, and smokin' down-home flavor."
-Publishers Weekly
"A real classic of Americana."

-Ian Crouch, The New Yorker
"[A] chilling portrait of a brilliant musician intent on self-annihilation."
"Grand themes of life, death, religion, salvation, damnation, human choices and, sometimes, joy."
-Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times
"Simple and plain-spoken, yet powerful and resonant."
-Daily Journal
"There was something scary and washed in the blood about the sound of the Louvin Brothers."
-Emmylou Harris
"Charlie…was a true punk, in the best sense of the word."
-Lucinda Williams
"You can't find anybody, I don't think, that was not inspired by them."
-Vince Gill
"They influenced everybody."
-Phil Everly
"The Burritos' favorite artists."
-Gram Parsons
"The Louvin Brothers were my favorite when I was young and growing up in the business."
-Dolly Parton
"Probably the greatest traditional country duo in history."

Hi, Elf. Any idea why this image -- as used as Subway (underpass) -- will not allow itself to be re-sized? Should you answer this, please bear in mind that you will be addressing a technoramus... ;) -- Picapica 21:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I've heard you say you have quite a collection of dog books. Any chance you could list them for us? Vortex 00:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- OK, I added User:Elf/dog book database and I also included a link to it from my main user page where I say that I have a lot of books about dogs. :-) Enjoy. Don't know how useful it is without ISBNs or detailed descriptions, but it's what I've got. Elf | Talk 21:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh wow. This is extremely helpful. All I need is the title and author anyway, I can look for descriptions myself. Many thanks my friend. I shall start searching for these immediately. I'm sure others will appreciate this list as well. :) Vortex 22:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

|The Oddball Barnstar
|I, User:Pedant hereby award you the Oddball barnstar for your creation of the Category Category:Physical activity and dexterity toys on June 14 2005
The Oddball Barnstar is for editors who create ... something that one wouldn't expect to find in more traditional encyclopedias. Please take a moment to see how 'your' category has grown in just over a year. User:Pedant 21:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I was working on Juggling, and related hard-to-categorise subjects, and your category helped to group some dissimilar things that seemed to need to go together. I'll be likely to add some more things to that category too. Thanks again, and remember even if you don't come around much, your contributions will continue to be both welcome and valued.

Long overdue recognition and thanks[edit]
|The Fauna Barnstar
|I can imagine few if any people who are more deserving of this recognition than you. Your tireless efforts to date to improve and maintain the quality of the dogs articles has been invaluable to wikipedia, and I hope that you will accept this small token of our appreciation and recognition. I regret to say that it is not in my power to grant what I believe to be a citizen of the United States an official title, but I believe few other people are more deserving of receiving wikipedia's OBF (which is as close as I can approximate OBE). Thank you again for all your extraordinary work. Badbilltucker 15:34, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
And, by the way, this is not an effort to prevent you from leaving, if you so desire. I for one would be very sorry to see you leave completely, but can understand how you might view it as the best of a group of bad options. Certainly, no one wants to see your own life hurt because of your efforts here. However, whether you do come back or not, I have no doubt that this little recognition is more than adequately earned. Badbilltucker 16:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Image:PoisonOak wb biggerLeaves.jpg[edit]
Can you replace this with a higher resolution version? It's an attractive picture, and I would like to continue using it in the article, because it looks like the Bay Area poison oak I am so familiar with, but the resolution is much too low. Let me know on my talk page, or better yet, just upload something. Thanks. KP Botany 19:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Possible misuse of spaniel photo[edit]
Dear Elf, Found this while surfing the web this morning, I don't know if anything can be done about it since they do have the website name on it, but I wasn't sure if you'd want your photo being used on a list of the most aggressive dogs breeds. It is a pic of a Springer. They originally had one up from the Zim Family Cocker Forum, but someone caught on and notified Jim Zim and it was pulled, only to be replaced with your pic!

MSU Interview[edit]
Dear Elf,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at email@example.com. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Canine to canidae, etc.[edit]
Hi Elf, I want to say thank you for your contributions to the Wikipedia. I noticed your excellent comment of January 14, 2006 (!!!!) at Talk:Canine. I arrived because I was disambiguating a recent usage of ambiguous "canine" to "canidae" instead, I believe correctly, in this edit. Funny that 10 years ago you were bemoaning the information lost as disambiguating editors do their damage, which seems very familiar to me. I have recently been participating in the massive disambiguation efforts of wp:DPL and have been seeing damage done by disambiguators sometimes, perhaps especially within wp:DPL's Monthly Disambiguation Challenge. And sometimes I have been bemoaning loss of information by disambiguations done, including yesterday within a requested move at Talk:Paperboy. Interesting to see your concern 10 years ago.
From your note above I gather you were very active during two years
up to some point in 2013 and now are not active, but I also see you made an edit in 2015 not too long ago. And I see you have an archive about dog-related discussion from this talk page, so I am going to go ahead and ask you if you can help on a dog-related issue right now:
At the Canine disambiguation page, there is the following hierarchy given:
But, it begs the question for me of what is "Caninae, the sub-family", and couldn't that be better explained to help users of the dab page. I wanted to fix that up. Usage of "the sub-family" implies it is the only family within Canidae, which apparently is a family, so I wondered if perhaps it would be correct to revise that to something like "Caninae, the only current family within the order Canidae although there were other now-extinct families", if that was a fair description (apparently it is not, including because Canidae is apparently a family). But the Caninae page is really poor, in my view, or something else is wrong, because it is not even clear that Canis is within Caninae, though it must be if the hierarchy at the dab is correct.
In fact the Caninae article implies Canis is not within it, because it states that
Present-day basal Caninae include:
- Genus Otocyon (probably a vulpine close to Urocyon)

Maybe the hierarchy changed? And further I note at Canidae that it includes "canini" and "true foxes" (vulpini) which perhaps should be mentioned in the dab hierarchy. I also made this edit at "Canini" which I hope is correct.
Could you help make a modified version of the hierarchy, to be more informative, perhaps something like the following? :
- Canidae: family of all canids, which include canini (domestic dogs, wolves, jackals, coyotes, and other dog-like mammals) and vulpini (true foxes)
Help! I just wanted to edit the hierarchy at the dab page based on the corresponding articles, to make the dab page more useful. Can you possibly fix it up, and/or let me know how to? It is beyond what I can do, it seems. Editors sometimes say there is "no deadline" to making the Wikipedia perfect, but it would be nice to get this fixed up sooner rather than later, if there is indeed something wrong, IMHO. No problem if you cannot address this. Either way, thank you for your direct contributions plus the moaning which is an indirect one. :) --doncram 21:12, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

- Hi again, that was quick! Thank you for the encouragement to go ahead, that helps a lot. Okay and then i am not so puzzled any more, having browsed a bit. The fact that Caninae has 3 "basal"
genuses(sp?)genera is not what I thought it meant (i incorrectly thot it meant basic? and that the three were being presented possibly as an exclusive list); there's a whole lot more genera including Canis genus within it, as shown in the infobox. It helps to look at the infobox, apparently part of some comprehensive system of them! And whatever the recent "revisions of the subfamily" were (which worried me), they didn't change that. Certainly the Caninae article could/should say a bit more, even just drawing from its genera articles, and i now feel confident enough to go ahead and add to it. I will add the maybe-obvious-to-some but totally necessary statement IMHO that it includes Canis which includes dogs. And Caninae doesn't include the vulpini, it seems to be synonymous to canini, so I can revise the explanation of hierarchy on the dab page, too.

- Very funny, your User:Elf#The horrible addiction...and recovery? tabulation is! :) Yikes, I have climbed back up to 223, after dropping pretty far from a peak of a couple years ago, somewhere around 170. It's because I have gotten into the disambiguation task, and even ended up "winning" the August Monthly Dab Challenge (though I promise I tried to do all good edits, and did other good work behind the scenes to help improve the general quality of dabbing going on). Very sick of me. :( Your 3579 is much better. Oh, i see your two very active years were 11 to 9 or so years ago, I don't know how i got the impression it was up to 2013. Congratulations! Thanks again for your complaining and encouragement, both helpful. :) cheers, --doncram 03:28, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

The results of spectral and photometric observations of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 134 = HD 191765 performed at the N. Tusi Shamakha Astrophysical Observatory (ShAO) of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan in 2006–2010 are presented. The spectral observations were carried out at the ShAO Zeiss-2000 telescope with an echelle spectrometer. Thirty-four echelle spectrograms of WR 134 were obtained. Profiles of the five strongest emission lines were analyzed: HeII 4859, HeII 5411, CIV 5808, HeI 5875, and (HeII+Hα) 6560. Various parameters of these emission lines are determined: their equivalent widths, radial velocities, central intensities, and half-widths. Only the radial velocity was found to be variable. Variability of the shapes of all emission-line profiles was found, but the largest changes are observed for the (HeII+Hα) 6560 emission band. Photometric observations were carried out at the ShAO Zeiss-600 telescope using an Alta U-47 CCD array (1024 × 1024 pixels) in the V filter of the photometric UBV system. Photometric observations were carried out on 18 nights, with from 100 to 300 measurements made during each night. The mean V magnitudes of WR 134 and a control star were determined for each night. Variability of WR 134 was detected, both within a night and during the entire observation period. The exposure time varied from 1 to 6 s on different nights. A statistical analysis of the mean magnitudes indicated that this series contains a peak at a frequency of ν = 0.530 day−1, corresponding to the period P = 1.887d. This period is interpreted as the manifestation binarity for this star. It is suggested that the secondary component of the system may be a low-mass optical K-M star.

Hi there,
I've been struggling a lot with getting Facebook to properly render the preview for our site. I think it has something to do with the Social settings. I have spent hours on this trying different methods of entering the meta tags myself, or using your plugin. Nothing seems to work. Finally got the preview image to load, but nothing else is rendering in the preview. You can try yourself by testing http://www.rxapps.com
Would love any help you can provide. Thanks Joost.

Health & Safety:
The university police system is great in Philadelphia. Police officers frequently walk students home. The students may be too intoxicated, or just returning from a late night at the Library. Regardless, the police is always a felt presence and if needed, will be there to assist.
The unique aspects of my major range from our internship opportunities, teachers, and peers involved. My university offers a range of internships, the most remarkable, in my opinion, being our partnership with the Cannes film festival.
A unique experience that I was able to be apart of at my University was my enrollment in a class taught by Paul Sylbert. Paul Sylbert is an academy award winning production designer. The experience taught me so much just by absorbing the wisdom from Mr. Sylbert.
Greek Life:
Greek life is present on campus but it isn't too big
The College does not provide a prelaw major which I wanted
The program provides interesting courses and access to guest professors
Overall Experience:
My courses thus far have been very interesting as have the professors. Recitation sizes are great and allow plenty of interaction with your TAs.
Overall Experience:
Many companies and nonprofits come to Penn to offer internships and jobs following graduation. Career services on campus is also extremely helpful.
The student body is very diverse but people from different groups don't interact as often as they should. College is a lot like high school in that way
Guys & Girls:
We definitely have an attractive campus but not much variety (i.e lots of preppy)
Off-Campus Housing:
Off-campus housing is available and generally used by upperclassmen. It isn't heavily supported by the university though and you shouldn't venture too far into West Philly for housing just due to safety.
Campus Housing:
Rooms are often larger than standard college dorms depending on which one you choose to live in
Campus Quality:
There are many campus traditions that students participate in such as Hey Day, Tossing the Toast, etc. Student activities are abundant and very visible, especially on Locust Walk.
Off-Campus Dining:
Center City isn't too far away and offers many great dining options for a reasonable price.
Local Area:
There might be some safety concerns occasionally but overall Philly is an excellent city to live in. There are tons of opportunities if you choose to capitalize on them.
The Political Science program offers interesting professors and great internship opportunities.
The professors at Penn are often the top of their field. They also provide a great deal of insight into their field which goes beyond what might be offered at other schools.
Guys & Girls:
Really nice friendly students, very diverse supportive community.
Very diverse campus in every way. Very supportive of LGBT community also.
Penn students are treated like responsible adults by the administration.
Health & Safety:
Penn takes good care of students and there is always available staff to walk a student home late at night. It is in a difficult neighborhood.
Campus Food:
It is nice food and there are a lot of dining opportunities. Food trucks are really great! Yummy
Campus Quality:
Lots of historical architecture and a lot of need LEED buildings also. Athletic center is really nice.
Lots of club options. The varsity athletes work really hard and take it very seriously. It is hard to be a varsity athlete as Penn is a challenging school academically so everyone has a lot of respect for them, juggling grades and training. Penn is very supportive.
Greek Life:
Greeks are super friendly, it is hard to get in because there are limits to numbers and Penn is a big school so a lot of students apply.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Students seem to be extremely content and do not regret their decision to come to Penn, even though the school definitely has a pre-professional feel. Despite this fact, it is extremely common to find yourself in an intellectual conversation, and the students really do work hard, while remembering that college is about fun as well. The opportunities provided at Penn are astounding; in fact there is almost too much to do. Most students base the reasons for their happiness around the people, the academics, the urban environment, and the endless opportunities. People who enjoy their experience at Penn tend to appreciate city life, socializing, and a busy schedule. Usually, students do not hesitate to endorse Penn, and many feel that everyone should love the school as much as they do.
Many adults call their years as an undergraduate the best four years of their lives. Penn students certainly can not make that prediction so soon, but most would agree that their time at Penn has been the best years of their life so far. Obviously, Penn is not the school for everyone, but the student body consists of interesting, intelligent, and well-rounded people, which creates a stimulating and fun environment for most. If you come to Penn, I can almost guarantee that you will meet fascinating people, find something to be passionate about, and enjoy the benefits of living in a vibrant city. You can also feel confident that an education from Penn will prepare you for what lies beyond your undergraduate years. The Penn Overall Experience is defined by the combination of the rich history and academic rigor of an Ivy League school and the school spirit and propensity for socializing of many other schools. This "work hard, play hard" mentality is what many Quakers, and prospective Quakers, find so appealing.

Estate Grown in Santa Barbara.
Beckmen Vineyards is family owned and operated.
Beckmen had the honor to be served in a state dinner at the White House.
"This wine celebrates the 10th release of the Purisima Mountain Vineyard Clone #1 Syrah. On the nose, this wine showcases the classic and pure aromatics of syrah, with robust, dark fruit, violets, and toasted oak aromas. The palate has a juicy acidity, rich with orange peel, coffee, and dark chocolate notes with an intense, fine tannin structure. "
"The near impenetrable color of this Syrah hints at its dark intensity. And the promise in its nose, dark chocolate and blackberry with suggestions of molasses-smoked bacon, violet, and earth is only the beginning. In the mouth, meaty plum and more blackberry boldly flood the palate, then soften and reveal a peppery dark chocolate core with hints of minerality and sage. The finish is massive, with big rich tightly-wound tannins complicated by elements of dark plum, kirsch liqueur, and a lingering essence of oak. This wine, an artful synthesis of our twenty-two Syrah blocks, will age beautifully for ten to twelve years."
"This opulent and complex barrel-selected blend represents the ultimate union of our Purisima Mountain Vineyard's legendary Grenache and Syrah. Deep aromas of blueberry, plum, and blackberry commingle with smoke, mineral, and brown sugar to fill out the elaborate nose. The mouth bursts with grenadine, and an expanse of both plummy-red and blackberries that seamlessly submit to a luxuriant core of chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, and damp fertile earth. Well-structured tannins and an exotic finish of sandalwood make this singular wine hauntingly memorable. The most age-worthy of our Reds, enjoy over the next twenty years."
"This signature Beckmen Rhone blend is a fresh and vibrant cuvée with soft, satisfying richness. The nose is suffused with aromas of blackberry, cherry, and smoke, with hints of clove, herbs-de-Provence, and a touch of cured meats. Opulent flavors of grenadine, cherry, and strawberry-rhubarb unfurl in the mouth and usher a lively core of red licorice, lavender, and earth, with great weight and texture. The finish is big with sweet tannins, lingering cherry flavors, and well-balanced acidity. Try this wine with Asian cuisine, or a casual BBQ. Enjoy over the next seven to ten years."
"Stunning aromas of sandalwood, cherry, grenadine, licorice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lavender are the first to distinguish this masterfully crafted wine. In the mouth, the palate is drenched in rich, juicy flavors of Bing cherry, grenadine, and cranberry that dissolve into a velvety core of red licorice, herbs-de-Provence, and a toasty tobacco essence. Harvested from Purisima Mountain Vineyard's head-trained vines, this Grenache drinks beautifully young, or will age well for seven to ten years."

ODT Online
ODT /directory
The website, flags.otago.ac.nz, was launched at Wakari
Primary School in 2009 by then science minister and former
Dunedin North MP Pete Hodgson.
The internet site was set up by researchers at the university
information science department, led by Associate Prof Peter
Whigham and Dr Colin Aldridge, to enable school pupils and
others to join in a shared design effort.
The aim was to use public interest in the flag as a way to
''test a new technology for people to collaborate in evolving
image designs'', organisers said.
Designed to be easy and fun for all ages, the site encourages
people to take part in a ''collaborative online evolutionary
design process''.
Prof Whigham, Dr Aldridge and Dr Michel de Lange undertook
the related research project, which also resulted in a
jointly written research paper which Prof Whigham presented
at a computation conference in Norway in 2008.
The project had not resulted in one overall preferred flag
design, Prof Whigham said.
But a single fern leaf had proved popular through the
''generations of the group design work'', and ''simple,
uncluttered designs'' had been apparent.
The silver fern was a possible ''iconic'' flag, but ''our
take-home message would be to ensure simplicity of design'',
he said.
Several hundred people had made use of the site, and the
exercise had proved positive and fruitful, Prof Whigham said.
''It was nice to do something where you see kids doing stuff
and getting value from it.''
His son, Tama (10), had helped by providing feedback during
the site's development.
The internet site opened up possibilities for many kinds of
learning, including about working creatively in a group.
There was still the chance to ''make some flags that are
really quite nice''.

Mr. Robertson was born Oct. 14, 1916, to John Finley Robertson and Ernestine Baker Robertson at their farm home in Tullahassee, Okla.

Mr. Robertson and his wife co-authored books on the Texas Panhandle, including "Panhandle Pilgrimage," "Cowman's Country," "Tascosa" and others. For his descendants, he wrote a detailed anecdotal memoir book of his growing-up years to the time of his marriage. He was an active member of Amarillo Photographic Society for 44 years and an award winner with Master Photographer rating. He and his wife traveled extensively in the 50 states, Canada, Central America, and several continents, and their photographs have hung in many local and area exhibitions.
He was a lifelong lover of nature and an advocate of environmental protection. Fishing, hunting and golf claimed his devotion He was a bird watcher, an admirer of animals , and an adventurous outdoorsman with a great interest in American Indian history and relics. He demonstrated flint arrowhead making in Amarillo and Austin classrooms. He was an expert on Swing Music and the Big Band Era.

I'm trying to build libiphone from source on Debian Squeeze (64-bit). But autogen.sh keeps giving me this:
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1) were not met:
No package 'glib-2.0' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libglib2_CFLAGS
and libglib2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I assume it's referring to libglib2.0-dev (there is no package 'glib-2.0'), which I already installed (version 2.30.2-6) as instructed by the README. Just for the hell of it, I also installed glibc-2.11-1, libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev, and libglibmm-2.4-dev, to no avail. I tried running autogen.sh as root.
So basically autogen.sh is lying, because I have every conceivable glib library installed, every single one of them is >= 2.14.1, and I installed all of them from the official Debian repository. Could someone please help me figure out what's going on here?
It turns out autogen.sh just does some minor setting-up and then runs
configure. I went through
configure and found the following possibly relevant lines:
In a comment titled "Some influential environment variables":
C compiler flags for libglib2, overriding pkg-config
In the code itself:
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for libglib2" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for libglib2... " >&6; }
if test -n "$libglib2_CFLAGS"; then
elif test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG" && \
{ { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --
($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1") 2>&5
$as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
test $ac_status = 0; }; then
pkg_cv_libglib2_CFLAGS=`$PKG_CONFIG --cflags "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1" 2>/

Kristiansand Things to Do
Dyreparken in Kristiansand
Update 2014/15:During my last visit in July 2014, the food service had improved with a wider variation and generally better food. Less fast-food-ish, and the overall service was much better.New sponsors, too - there is a connection! Children can have all-you-can-eat buffets for NOK 29 at Kjuttaviga Vertshus restaurant and at SOKU. You wouldn't find...more

Dont miss the 2nd largest cannon of WW II in Møvik: it is a fascinating place of history, even if you are not so very much interested in military things.These cannons were built in order to control all of the entrance into the baltic sea from here and from the opposite shore in Danmark. The 38 cm calibre cannon has a range of about 55km and you...more
the cannons of the fortress
The old fortress was built on an peninsula and there were some cannons in front of that fortress to defend it. They are another tourist-attraction of Kristiansand nowadays, take a closer look at them, they have nice engravings and ornaments as well.Take a look at the handles of the cannon in my 3rd photo, it is an elephant !more

Take a walk through the centre of Kristiansand and you will see that most of the interesting buildings will be found in the very centre of the old town, just like this great wooden building in my 1st and 2nd picture, that I saw in a short walking-distance from the main square, opposite of the cathedral.The other buildings I saw while strolling...more

The southern version of the East
On the second floor of the main pedestrian road (Name+number) is "Restaurant Østen" ("The East"). The interior is fancy, the food is quite on the regular side. When staff understood we were familar with "the east" less blandness was disernable...The big item appeared to be a Mongolian buffet. Now, I have been to Mongolia, but never saw a Mongolian...more

Eating the local fish-speciality "Bacalao" was included in the price of the Hurtigruten-daytour from Kristiansund.

We liked it!
We liked its atmosphere and of course the food they serve. But I most appreciate they have in the children menu not only hamburgers and chips, but as well a healthy choice: salmon with baked potatoes.more
Best steak around!!
Be sure to vist this place before it closes. It`s soon becoming a shoppingmall!! The poor owner has to shut the place down to give room for a god damned shoppingcentre!! Juciest burgers and steaks in town. Also great irish stew, even if the owner is norwegian.more
Pizza and steak
There are several Egon restaurants around Norway. I do not know whether the kitchen holds the same quality in all of them, but I can recommend the one in Kristiansand. Among other things they serve pizza, steak, taco and lasagne. I loved the bacon-wrapped tenderloin with baked potatoe, and the others were very satisfied with their choises, too....more
Good food at Caledonien
Casablance is located in the Radisson SAS Caledonien Hotel, ground floor. The interior decoration and the place as such is weird: it is as if the decorators could not decide wether to go for a movie theme or a maritime one. So, here's the mix... The service is very good, the food excellent, and you do not need to kill your entire budget in one go...more

Kristiansand Warnings and Dangers
Saturday Nights
Like other places in Norway, Kristiansand can get a little rowdy on Saturday nights downtown and fights can occur. It's not exactly something to be woried about but definately something to know about.more
Harbour teeming with jellyfish
Be very careful around the harbour (probably the beach as well) as the water is full of jellyfish like the one pictured here. Even the seagulls floating on the water stayed well clear of them, when people were throwing in bread.more

Kristiansand What to Pack
Don't forget your camera!!
Photo Equipment: As with all good holidays, it isn't complete without photographs of the great time you are having. So don't forget to pack a camera, and if it needs regular recharging (as my one does) don't forget to bring a european plug adapter (I forgot to bring one and had to buy another, d'oh!). Always bring plenty of film or have a large capacity memory card for your digital camera (I bought a 128mb card which allows me to save hundreds of nice pictures).Add to your Trip Planner

Start Kristiansand
Start has for the last two years been down in the 1st division, but after a very dramatic qualifying match against Strømsgodset they reached the premier divison.
Kristiansand Stadium has one stand and two terraces. The main stand has a capacity of around 4,000 seats, the terrace at the opposite side has a capacity of around 7,000 spectators. The third one (on one of the ends) isn't acually a proper terrace, but can be used when higher capacity is needed.
There is plans to build a new stadium in Kristiansand, or at least rebuild the old one. In both cases the stadium will be a football ground without an athletics track around it, and with a capacity of around 12-15,000 seats.
Equipment: None, just bring yourself and your friends.Add to your Trip Planner

Top 10 Coastal Drives: Kristiansand
Located in the fjord area of Norway, the Atlantic Road connects a series of islands along the Western coast. Even though talk of connecting the islands began as early as 1909, the Atlantic Road didn't open for another eighty years, in July of 1989. Although the road, known as Route 64, is relatively short compared to our other chosen drives at just over 5 miles long (8274 meters), you may recognize it as it's been the site of numerous car commercials. Many locals use the bridges for cycling and fishing. Surprisingly, an area along the route, Hustadvika, is incredibly popular for scuba diving due to the number of wrecks along the route before the bridges were built.
