norse air

any news on the rumour that norse air ' s days are almost over .
not true , bathtub200 . there may be issues between the original shareholder and lonhro , but norse air has not been
liquidated
. what did happen is that the crewing contract in gabon for the saab 340 was terminated because the operator wanted the norse air crews to bust fdp and they refused with the full backing of norse air management . norse air then terminated the contract .
norse has added to its growing portfolio of joint venture companies with the formation of newport norse .

does anyone have anymore info on what is happening at norse air ? i heard that they possibly may be stopping ops tomorrow . two of my associates know several people who have been made redundant . what is happening to contract companies in south africa ? : confused :
hi everyone , i recently met a pilot from norse air on my way on tour but i didnt have an opportunity to talk to him for too long . ive not heard about them till now , can anyone tell me what they fly , what their reputation is like and any other information ?
aal , i only became aware of the full situation with lonrho and norse yesterday and you are correct in most of what you have stated . this is certainly not looking good for norse or their directors , but i certainly hope that they manage to keep their heads above water as there are many good people working for norse however , i disagree that the saabs are a liability as they are great aircraft which could have made norse a lot of money if they had been placed in the correct environment and on viable contracts .
norse will be investing in 23 new maintenance vehicles to deliver the services and around 200 staff will be transferring into the new company .

hi there jelly ' d ' . maybe you have another nickname i might know . i ' ve heard of norse air . mixed replies . sounds like the crew is not very happy there . pay sounded good but i hear the management is not so hot . usual contract company bull . those guys never change . . . . . : yuk :
zoltan , is the air up there getting a bit thin for you ? : zzz : the company that was liquidated is lobtrans , which owns shares in one of the sf34 ' s . others were temporarily grounded while waiting for a signature from the committee against aviation to extend an sb as a result of saab not being able to provide spares for the sb . actual facts are : 1 . the norse air giii is still flying . 2 . all the rest of the saab ' s are flying ( except those without crew ) . 3 . lonrho has not pulled out their investment .
shortly after the war ended , grieg lodge threw another party . this time to celebrate the burning of the mortgage . norse hall was finally paid in full .

i heard that there is another company starting up in south africa under the balmoral name . i think it ' s called balmoral air charter and rumour has it that robin reid ' s involved . don ' t know how true it is though .
century , she told us about the royal air force base that once formed the basis of unst’s economy . “but they shut that down some years back , and that left a terrible hole , ” she said . “viking tourism is meant to fill it . ”

another way of exploring what reykjavík used to look like is with a visit to árbær open air museum where you’ll find a large display of ancient icelandic houses . the museum consists of more than 20 buildings that have been preserved and relocated to form a small town , a square and a farm , giving visitors a sense of how icelanders used to live before the country underwent its period of industrialisation .
was listening to 11300khz last night and heard one of their aircraft . callsign was nrx1001 and was routing benghazi to nairobi with an eta of 2251z . gave type as il76 and registration mark yu - ami . i show yu - ami as belonging to kosmas air though . not of any particular use i know , just thought i ' d mention it ! first time i ' ve heard one ! r
the beginning in 1928 , on the eve of the grand opening of norse hall , john o . johnson of the grieg lodge building committee wrote in the souvenir program , “the thought of building a lodge hall was one of our early problems , and as the years went by , the vision of a home of our own was constantly before us . ”
“wednesday is my day , ” he tells shadow by way of introduction . this is the first big clue that shadow is dealing with a god , because the day wednesday or “wodensday” is named after odin , who also goes by the old saxon name wodan . in old norse he’s called oden , which has become onsdag ( wednesday ) in modern scandinavian countries .
and that’s how it has always been . from the very beginning , the members of grieg lodge have worked hard – first to build and then to preserve their beloved home . norse hall has been both a treasure and a taskmaster to each generation of its caretakers , demanding much , but also offering much in return as a touchstone that holds its family together .
merlin m . no need to get in a huff my boy , you might use up the last bit of oxygen up here . . : ooh : i stand corrected , the banks foreclosed on norse , not liquidated yet , they have a grace period to sort themselves out . . . anyone remember rossair ? hopefully it turns out better than that though . .
1940s apart from special events , the norse hall ballroom was the scene of a dance every saturday night . by 1940 , the hall’s signature neon sign had been installed and was a bright beacon on the weekends of the hall’s activity . when world war ii began , and germany occupied norway , fundraisers were held at norse hall to support the norwegian resistance . meanwhile , the grieg lodge leikarringen group performed at bond rallies and at fort lewis to entertain the troops . according to toni linne , a member of leikarringen at the time , “most of the leikarringen groups disbanded during the war , but grieg lodge’s leikarringen has operated continuously since it started . it’s been the cement at this lodge . ” the group lost its accordion player in battle .
meanwhile , the lodge’s leikarringen dance group , founded in the early 1930s , and the norwegian glee club gave regular performances at the hall . in 1938 , the seventeenth of may celebration at norse hall was a two - day affair that so impressed the editor of the oregon journal , marshall n . dana , he wrote about it the next day in the editorial page :
throughout these years , a variety of non - profit and ethnic groups rented norse hall for meetings and events , including the letter carriers union , the submarine veterans , sesame dance group , norske runddansere , the danish lodge , swedish linnea , league of swedish societies , daughters of norway , and the scandinavian ladies’ and men’s chorus . many are still with the hall today .
yet in downtown kirkwall , where the romanesque cathedral , built of sandstone , houses the relics of st . magnus erlendsson , the norse - descended earl of orkney who was martyred after an unsuccessful battle with a rival chieftain in the early 12th century , and where miniature viking ships still cap the post office lintel , donna heddle had no doubt the connection went considerably deeper than mere marketing .
although many heritage halls were built in the early part of the 20th century by the scandinavians who came to america , few remain today . those that do represent a legacy reminding us of their commitment and dreams for the future – something norse hall’s builders knew a lot about , and still communicate to us today as we work and play within the walls they constructed . – j . d . whipple
1990s few major building projects took place in the 1990s at norse hall , but many repairs , equipment purchases and upgrades were undertaken . the volunteer office was created , and the cloak room became a shop ( “landhandel” ) and computer room . the maple floor in the hallway upstairs was uncovered and restored to its original condition , hinting at what might be hidden beneath the tile flooring in the old library .
1980s in 1985 , grieg lodge , which was founded in 1910 , celebrated another landmark – its 75th birthday . the lodge’s diamond jubilee was marked by a huge sit - down dinner in the ballroom . further building projects were also pursued during this decade . the air conditioning system was added , the “new kitchen” was excavated and built , and the library was moved downstairs next to the main dining room . once again , most of the labor for these projects was handled in - house , and as bob lee notes , ” big john jensen” played a key role in all of them .
but neither scandi chic , nor the newer , kinder version of the vikings had made it to the nearby town of wick , which gets its name from the old norse word for bay . asked why the hotel where she worked was called the norseman , the receptionist admitted that she wasn’t sure . “because they came here raping and rampaging through the hills ? ” she asked . “you know , doing viking things . ”
he wasn’t sure what to make of his ancestors’ past . “when i was a kid , the ties to the norse felt stronger , ” he said as he stopped to stick his nose in a bag of hops . “there were all these words we used , and the whalers would take our men because they knew our seafaring skills went back to them . now sometimes i think it’s just for the tourists . but everybody in shetland is still proud of their viking heritage . ”
scotland is perhaps not the most obvious place to look for traces of nordic culture . but in the months leading up to the nation’s vote on independence from england last september , there was talk of it everywhere . although it had been six centuries since any part of scotland was in norse hands , many nationalists were suggesting that viking heritage formed part of the separate identity that lay behind an independence bid , which , although it failed at the polls , has grown stronger since the referendum .
the next two years were consumed with raising the money needed for the lodge’s new home at 11th & couch . finally , as the nation teetered on the brink of the stock market crash and the great depression , norse hall was completed in 1928 at a cost of $ 65 , 000 . designed by elmer feig , an architect known for his modern , art deco style , the elegant spanish renaissance building covered a quarter of a city block and was among the most imposing structures of the time on the city’s east side .
1930s from that point on norse hall was an important focal point for the norwegian community and other scandinavian groups which used the facility for meetings and events . but times were difficult and it wasn’t easy to make the mortgage payments on the hall . once again the ladies responded with grass - roots fundraisers : dinners , lunches and handicraft sales . the men donated their labor for whatever maintenance or repairs needed to be done . and as howard johnson recalls , “we were true tightwads through it , which scandinavians are famous for . ”
1960s & 1970s in the decade between the early 60s and early 70s significant remodeling projects were undertaken to upgrade and modernize the aging building . it was during this time that many of the original elements of norse hall were changed or sacrificed . a huge mahogany bar with a brass foot rail was removed from the basement , and the oslo lounge was created where the ladies lounge had been on the main floor . the open balcony surrounding the ballroom was sealed , lighting fixtures were changed to fluorescent strips , ceilings were lowered , aluminum windows went in on the upper floor .
but natural retreats , a hotel development company , has made the place much more appealing by taking a gothic - style inn and adding several nordic - style wooden houses onto the side . each building is called a toft , a norse - derived word for farmhouse or homestead . the tofts are painted different colors and contain apartments , which comprise the accommodations . the rooms are spare and tasteful , with the streaming light and clean lines that are the hallmarks of scandinavian design . “it’s quite straightforward , ” said adam gough , natural retreats ’ head of technical services , when asked about nordic style . “there is a lot of history and strong links with scandinavia . ”
it wasn’t hard to see why she persisted in that image . wick , which robert louis stevenson once referred to as “the meanest of mean towns , ” has little in the way of tourist attractions except for a ruined castle that was probably built in the 12th century , presumably by the norse earl , harald maddadson . one of the oldest and best preserved in scotland , the castle’s tower still reaches four stories up , and its defensive ditches and perilous cliffs keep it cut off from the mainland . it is a stirring place , desolate and imposing , and not at all hard to imagine as the kind of stronghold from which one might have set out marauding .
the kabul contract is going strong . . . . it is now in the hands of ex balmoral robin reid . the percentages of ownership may have changed and there is a new name involved , but there are more a / c on their way to kbl . current machines are 3 x be20 , 2 x b190 , 2 x bell212 and even an mi - 8 . salaries are around $ 4500 for fo ' s . tours are normally around 2 months on 1 off & 6 weeks on & 6 off for captains . regarding norse , if anyone knows the cp , he does not bullshit . there is some heavy metal in the pipeline and here ' s to their success . . . . same old boardroom barrel - rolls all contract companies go thru . . .

not to give away any massive spoilers , but if you have watched the first episode of american gods – or even if you have only seen the trailer – you’ve probably worked out by now that ian mcshane’s mr wednesday is… a god .
however , if you don’t want to know which god in particular , stop reading now .
his two ravens are huginn and muninn – thought and memory – who tell him all the things happening around the world . he also has the wolves geri and freki . his spear is named gungnir . in some stories he’s married to frigg ( a goddess ) and jord ( the earth ) and he has many sons . his eldest son is sometimes known as thor .
you may have noticed that one of his eyes is a little different . that’s nothing to do with mcshane : it’s actually a glass eye , because odin gave his real eye in exchange for a drink from the well of wisdom .
odin is usually shown as long - bearded , with a cloak and a big hat . but this is the 21st century , so mr wednesday gets to wear a suit and shave his beard off and sometimes wear a little sunhat to protect his weathered face .

it was a dream they held for nearly two decades . from the time the lodge’s charter was granted in 1910 , the membership held meetings in a variety of halls in portland including the alisky building at 3rd & morrison ; the selling hirsch building at west park & washington ; the good templor hall ; and finally the pythian building at west park & yamhill .
in the early 1920s , grieg lodge began in earnest to plan for a permanent home . as word spread through the community , several opportunities arose to buy space with other organizations or purchase existing halls which were being sold , among them the wow hall and the swedish harmony hall . but each time , the membership rejected the idea , preferring instead to stick with the plan to create their own home despite the greater difficulty and expense .
a building committee of three was appointed in late 1924 , and within 3 weeks the group had found a 100×100 - ft . site they considered suitable at 11th & n . e . everett . the price was $ 5 , 000 cash . a special meeting was called on november 15 in order to vote on this momentous decision . a motion to buy the property passed by a vote of 48 to 5 .
in order to pay for the site , the lodge liquidated the majority of its total cash assets including funds in checking and savings accounts , and liberty bonds bought during world war i – a bold move for the norwegian - americans . by february , 1925 the sale was finalized , and the lodge began to plan fundraising activities that would go towards financing a building . the ladies social club was charged with organizing bazaars , pie socials , rummage sales and card parties . a raffle was also planned , offering as the grand prize a “combination rail and steamship passage to norway . ”
but a twist was yet in store . just as the 11th and everett street property was settled , the lodge received an offer to buy it for $ 6500 . the membership was stunned and rejected the proposal . but the building committee began to look at alternative properties in the neighborhood , just in case . they found three , including a 100×100 - ft lot for $ 6 , 000 at the corner of 11th and couch . in march a new offer to buy the everett street site was received – this time for $ 7250 . it was an offer the lodge could not and did not refuse . franz bakery expanded there shortly after .
the grand opening celebration was thoroughly covered by the local press , the oregonian and the oregon journal . the mayor of portland , george baker was on hand for the festivities as was the president of the supreme lodge of sons of norway , judge t . o gilbert and the district 2 president , halvor quam . the program included speeches , musical and singing performances in both english and norwegian , and a dance to the lloyd nichols 7 - pc . orchestra . fifty new members were inducted into the lodge , and a chicken dinner was held the following day .
“some of the best entertainment this or any city could witness was that presented by the united norwegian societies… . . the folk dance by a graceful girl in costume before a great oil painting of a norwegian fjord was so realistic that one might imagine himself on the shore of the liberty - loving country… . norway is not a great country . its 124 , 000 square miles contain a population of less than 3 , 000 , 000 . but it has given to the world a great nationality – industrious , peace - loving , intellectual and patriotic . and among the ablest and most loyal of american citizens are those who claim scandinavian background . ”

what are the best museums in reykjavík ? check out our list of the 11 best museums in reykjavík and find out where you should go to learn about icelandic history and culture .
iceland is known for its stunning landscape , but equally impressive is the country ' s history and culture . in reykjavík , there are numerous museums and exhibitions where you can soak up some knowledge about iceland . so if you ' re spending some time in reykjavík , why not check out a museum or two ( or nine ) ?
. you ' ll also receive a discount to numerous restaurants , free admission on the city buses and a free entry to reykjavík ' s swimming pools .
starting off this list is the saga museum ( sögusafnið ) , where history comes alive ! this relatively small museum is jam - packed with information about the viking settlers , and it uses life - like replicas of icelandic historical figures to recreate key moments in iceland’s history .
as you enter the museum , you are given an audioguide , in either icelandic , english , french , german , russian , spanish or swedish , that plays automatically as you walk past the realistic figures .
this is a great stop either before or after a tour of the country as you’ll learn about the rich history of the places you are about to visit or have just seen , such as how iceland’s parliament , alþingi , was founded in 930 at þingvellir national park , and what lead to a law - speaker named þorgeir to throw idols into goðafoss waterfall .
the replicas in the museum were created based on descriptions found in the viking sagas and chronicles , and the clothes , weapons and everyday objects have all been hand - crafted using traditional methods . make sure you ' ll bring your camera because after the tour , you ' ll have the chance to dress up as a viking in these hand - crafted clothes . helmet , chainmail , sword and all !
on your reykjavík visit , you have undoubtedly seen the iconic perlan building which towers over the city from the top of a hill in the öskjuhlíð area . the hemispherical structure has for decades provided visitors with an unmatched , panoramic view of the capital area from its observation deck , and now , guests can also immerse themselves in the wild icelandic nature , without leaving reykjavík city .
perlan museum opened its first exhibit , the ‘ glaciers and ice cave’ exhibition , in july 2017 . the presentation begins with a visit to an ice cave that has been constructed inside one of the hot water tanks on which the perlan dome sits . visitors are urged to use their senses during the tour ; not only watch but to touch the ice , listen to the sounds , and feel the cold . rest assured , you will be provided with warm clothes for the chill .
after walking through the labyrinth of ice , guests are lead to the second floor where they will find an interactive wall aimed to show them the forces of the glaciers and the volcanic activity under them . there is also multimedia displays with everything about glaciers , from the microorganisms found in them to the dangers they face due to climate change . a visit to the observation deck is included with the admission fee so that you can enjoy the view of reykjavík after your tour .
more exhibitions are set to open at the perlan museum later this year , all under the name ' wonders of iceland ' . the ‘land , coast , ocean’ exhibit will use cutting - edge technology to give you insight into the unique nature of iceland , you’ll be able to feel an earthquake and explore the ocean through a virtual fish tank for example , and in the fall a state - of - the - art planetarium will open .
nothing has been more vital to iceland’s survival than fishing , and so it should come as no surprise that there is a whole museum dedicated to the nation’s maritime history . you can check out the country’s seafaring heritage at the reykjavík maritime museum in the newly renovated part of the reykjavík ' s harbour , known as the grandi area .
the museum gives a good insight into the life and times of icelandic fishermen by displaying great old fishing artefacts , detailed model ships , mock - ups of wireless signal rooms , and a compass repair shop .
you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this little island nation as you learn about the country ' s dramatic relationship with the sea , the scale of hardship the fishermen had to endure , and the gradual growth of modern iceland through fishing .
of course , there is also a section of the cod wars ( not to be confused with the cold war ) , a series of confrontations between iceland and the united kingdom on fishing rights . you can even take a tour of óðinn , a coast guard vessel that survived three of these wars .
a fairly new exhibition has opened in the historical austurbæjarbíó building , just a stone’s throw away from the hlemmur bus station . the tales from iceland exhibit uses a series of cinematically beautiful videos to provide visitors with a unique perspective on the country .
this clever exhibit shows these taped stories on two floors with a total of 14 screens , each with a set of sofas in front of them . you are also offered free coffee or hot chocolate so you can wander around with a cup in your hand , enjoying the show .
on the lower level , you’ll find the ‘nature exhibition’ where you get to see the icelandic landscape and history through other people ' s eyes . assorted videos made by tourist are scattered around , describing their ( often hilarious ) experience of the country and the people living here .
upstairs in the ‘news exhibition , ’ you get the locals perspective from news videos . here you’ll learn everything you need to know about iceland , from politics , history , and geology , to music , sports and culture . you’ll see real footage from the cod wars , a commercial starring lazytown’s sportacus and former first lady michelle obama , and everything in between .
on the hverfisgata street in downtown reykjavík , you can find a large and beautiful building known as safnahúsið or culture house . the stark - white house holds a collection which includes paintings , sculptures , and other works of art , alongside cultural pieces and historical artefacts . all designed to give you the history and perspective needed to appreciate the icelandic nation as it is today .
the permanent exhibition , ' points of view ' , gives guests a chance to delve into the collection of six different cultural institutions , from contemporary art to thousand - year - old relics . the suggested tour starts on the fourth floor , and the layout will take you from room to room and down the floors , exploring each wing of the house . there are plenty of chairs along the way if you need to take a rest .
the latest in icelandic art is on the fourth floor , and medieval items are on the ground floor . however , the collections are arranged thematically , rather than chronologically , to paint a picture of various aspects of icelandic culture and way of life . there are also special , temporary exhibitions in a separate room on the third floor which provide a greater insight into a specific topic .
many consider the culture house to be amongst iceland ' s most beautiful buildings and great care was taken in designing both its interior and exterior . it was built in 1906 - 1908 by danish architect johannes magdahl nielsen to house the national library . nielsen ' s colleague , frederick kiörboe designed the oak furniture that can still be found there .
the culture house offers a free web guide , and if you don ' t have a smartphone , you can rent one on location . your ticket to the culture house is also valid for the national museum and vice versa .
when exploring the nation’s culture and history , one cannot forget about icelandic music . at the bottom of bankastræti street in downtown reykjavík hides the icelandic punk museum where you can learn about this country’s punk scene , chronicled from the early years to the new wave uprising , which paved the way for some of the nation ' s most beloved artists , including björk and sigur rós .
much like the punk scene itself , the museum is underground , in a location that couldn’t be more fitting for a museum of this kind , a former public toilet . the toilets themselves were shut down in 2006 only to be reopened a decade later by johnny rotten of the sex pistols to tell the story of icelandic punk .
the stalls serve as mini display rooms for the collection of photographs , posters , handbills , stage equipment , and instruments . there are streaming videos of classic club shows , and headphones hang from the ceiling , each one playing a different icelandic punk song . you can also try on leather jackets and strike a pose with a guitar or behind the drums .
the settlement exhibition is another underground museum , but there is a practical reason for its subterranean location as it is built around an archaeological dig . in 2001 , renovations of the nearby buildings were about to start when archaeologists found a few relics which turned out to be the oldest remains of human habitation in reykjavík , including a tenth - century viking longhouse .
the longhouse is believed to have been inhabited from 930 - 1000 ad , and older still is a boundary wall at the back of the museum , built around 871 ad . what is equally impressive is that these buildings were found at the very place where iceland’s first settlers made his home , as described in the old icelandic sagas which were written down some 200 years after the event .
at the exhibition , you can walk around the unearthed longhouse and look at various artefacts to get a glimpse into early icelandic life . there are multimedia tables which show information about the history and ecology of the area , as well as the daily activities of the residents , such as iron - work and carpentry . there is even a panorama showing you how reykjavík would have looked at the time of the longhouse .
each building is different and has its own story . you’ll find homes of people with diverse occupations and social statuses , from a professor ' s resident to a 19th - century home of landless labourers , as well as houses from different time periods , such as traditional turf houses and wwii storage huts .
to keep with the theme , the employees and tour guides dress in traditional icelandic attire and go about the business of working the farm , which includes tending to sheep , cows and chickens . there is also a children’s room at the museum with traditional mid - century toys for the young ones .
the museum is located in árbær , a suburb of reykjavík city and although it is a little way out of the city centre , getting there doesn’t need to be all that tricky . if you don’t have your own car , you can simply take one of the city buses which stops in the vicinity of the museum . and if you have a city card , both the bus ride and the entry to the museum is free .
the whales of iceland exhibition is a great way to learn all about the whales and dolphins that you might get a chance to see ( or have already seen ) on a whale watching tour in iceland . the museum is located in the grandi area , a short walking distance from the reykjavík old harbour from which most of the city’s whale watching tours depart .
the museum is located in a large warehouse and holds 23 life - size models of the whale species found in icelandic waters , ranging from the small harbour porpoises to the enormous blue whale . the whale replicas hang from the ceiling , are all hand - painted , and each model has personal characteristics based on a real whale found in the ocean . the models are also soft and squishy , and you are allowed to touch them !
the exhibition is quite atmospheric ; there is blue lighting and whale noises are played through the sound system which gives you the sense of being underwater . you can also get a better feel of what it’s like to swim alongside orcas or dolphins with the museum’s virtual reality glasses .
the museum’s multilingual guidance app can be downloaded to your phone , or you can borrow a tablet at the front test to learn about the biology and habits of these magnificent creatures . but it probably will be the sheer size of the whales that will have you in awe and stick you forever .
the national museum houses many treasures of iceland’s history , beginning with the ship in which viking settlers crossed the ocean to their new home , and ending in a modern airport . the vast collection of art and crafts , tools and furniture , religious artefacts and archaeological remains for the permanent exhibition ' making of a nation ' , are organised chronologically so you can easily follow this journey through time .
the section describing the settlement era features swords , drinking horns , a bronze figure of the thunder god thor , and the valþjófsstaður door , a priceless medieval church door on which the legend of lion - knight is carved .

noble ' s complaint alleges that alorica falsely represented itself as being aci until aci publicized the foreclosure and that it falsely promised to purchase a permanent software license at some time in the future . on appeal , noble concedes that these deceptions by themselves did not constitute fraudulent misrepresentation . instead , noble argues only that they are evidence that alorica conspired with pandora to defraud noble . thus , the fraud claim against alorica was correctly dismissed .
noble contends that pandora tortiously interfered with the ongoing noble - aci agreement by foreclosing on its loan to aci despite its knowledge that noble would not be fully repaid for the hardware it had sold to aci and would not continue to be paid maintenance fees as provided for under the contract . even assuming that noble ' s allegations could satisfy the other elements of a claim of tortious interference , they cannot show that pandora acted without justification .

noble claims that the consent and waiver agreement that pandora and alorica prepared for aci to sign was fraudulent because it falsely represented that noble did not have a security interest in some of aci ' s assets . assuming , arguendo , that the consent and waiver was a statement made by pandora and alorica to noble and not by aci to pandora and alorica , neither pandora nor alorica had a duty to not make false representations to noble , who was not a party to the agreement . see flynn , 627 n . w . 2d at 350 . additionally , there is no proffered or apparent reason why pandora or alorica would intend or expect that noble would in any way rely on the statement in the consent and waiver that noble had no security interest in aci ' s assets . moreover , these claims require that the plaintiff actually rely on the misrepresentation to its detriment . hoyt , 736 n . w . 2d at 318 . none of noble ' s acts or omissions can be construed as having been made in reliance on the statement that noble did not have a security interest in any of aci ' s property . nor can any fact alleged explain how such reliance , if it existed , could have caused the loss described in the complaint .

the facts in thompson are readily distinguishable from the facts alleged here . in this case , pandora ' s alleged bad faith consisted primarily of its knowledge of the unperfected security interest and its foreclosure in the face of its knowledge that junior creditors like noble would not have their claims satisfied at the foreclosure sale . neither of these allegations calls into question the legitimacy of pandora ' s ends or means . unlike the thompson partnership , aci derived no benefit from the foreclosure , and unlike the thompson corporation , pandora cannot be charged with a duty to observe and abide by aci ' s contract with noble . a junior creditor cannot sue a senior creditor for tortious interference solely because the senior creditor forces a foreclosure sale against the junior creditor ' s wishes or because the sale does not generate enough income to satisfy the junior creditor . noble has not pleaded facts to support its argument that pandora was not justified in its foreclosure and sale of aci ' s assets , and we thus affirm the district court ' s dismissal of noble ' s tortious interference claim .

noble asserts that pandora and alorica converted the hardware and software it sold to aci . “the elements of common law conversion are ( 1 ) the plaintiff has a property interest and ( 2 ) the defendant deprives the plaintiff of that interest . ” olson v . moorhead country club , 568 n . w . 2d 871 , 872 ( minn . ct . app . 1997 ) ( internal quotation omitted ) . “a plaintiff ' s lack of an enforceable interest in the subject property is a complete defense against conversion . ” lassen v . first bank eden prairie , 514 n . w . 2d 831 , 838 ( minn . ct . app . 1994 ) . the sale agreement between noble and aci , which noble attached as exhibit a to its complaint , states that title passed to aci upon delivery . therefore , the only interest in the property that noble possessed was a security interest . noble cannot dispute that pandora possessed a higher priority security interest that allowed it to take title to the collateral and sell it . because noble possessed no property interest that it could enforce against pandora or alorica , its conversion claim fails .
