Where in town can you quaff a microbrew, pig out on pork nachos and try on a wakeboard? That would be The Boardroom in downtown Fort Walton Beach.
FORT WALTON BEACH � Where in town can you quaff a microbrew, pig out on pork nachos and try on a wakeboard? That would be The Boardroom in downtown Fort Walton Beach.
This small pub adjoined to Liquid Surf & Sail on Main Street specializes in sandwiches, wraps and beer. Lots of beer. How much is �lots�? I�d say a bazillion different labels.
The food
The Boardroom offers a simple, scaled-down menu for folks who want munchables with their microbrews. You can order from a selection of appetizers, cheeseboards, salads, sandwiches, wraps and nachos.
The appetizers are all reasonably priced and depart from the usual chicken fingers and wings approach. Try the chips with black bean and salsa, the fresh garden salsa, or guacamole dip.
Also, the roasted red pepper and hummus and grilled pita is an option, but if that�s a tad out there for your palate, you can always opt for a bag of Zapp�s Chips.
The Boardroom offers two kinds of �boards� � cheese, and meat and cheese � and they�re exactly what they sound like. You can choose three different types of cheeses for the cheese board, and two different kinds of cheeses and meats for the meat board. Both come with grilled French bread and olives.
Their salads include a basic side salad, chef�s salad and Greek salad, which features mixed greens, feta cheese, banana peppers, Kalamata olives and Greek dressing. It�s served with grilled French bread, and you can add chicken to the salad for an extra $2.50.
You want sandwiches? The Boardroom�s got sandwiches, and we�re not talking PB&Js. Try the Cuban, turkey bacon, prosciutto and fontina, grilled veggie, hot ham & cheese, and grilled cheese. All sandwiches are served with a side salad and Zapp�s chips.
Pitas include the Smokin� Secretary, which includes smoked turkey, pepper jack cheese, roasted red pepper hummus, spinach, avocado and tomatoes. If that doesn�t suit your tastes try the 9-Iron, which consists of a medley of smoked meats, Cheddar cheese, spinach, Dijon and mayo. The Greek features grilled chicken, feta, banana peppers, Kalamata olives, spinach and Greek dressing.
Last, there�s the nachos. Chips are buried in a mountain of pulled pork and served with queso fresca, and salsa. You can get a similar concoction with the Tres Pork Tacos, which are served with the same ingredients plus onion, cilantro and lime.
We started our Boardroom experience with a cheese board, which arrived with a generous sampling of cheeses, grilled French bread and minced olives. The cheeses were tasty and, while I�m not sure I was supposed to do this, I put them on my French bread with the olives � yum!
We tried two different sandwiches, the muffuletta and a new entry on the menu, a portobello burger. Both were served on panini-style bread, which was crusty and delicious.
The muffuletta provided that snappy, olive-ish bite I associated with a good sandwich, and the Portobello burger was a heart-healthy alternative to traditional beef.
We also tried the nachos. They came with a healthy serving of pulled pork and queso fresco, plus guac in a side container. The queso was some of the tastiest I�ve ever tried.
Because I was driving, I didn�t sample any of their beers. But the list, which they let me take home, was literally as long as my forearm. These are not the kinds of beer you get at the store, unless your store sells Terrapin Tree Hugger, or Rogue Dead Guy.
The atmosphere
The Boardroom is a clean, nicely decorated place with a big bar that flanks the south wall, a scattering of tables inside, and a pair of tables outside on a patio that shares its space with the parking lot.
It�s dark inside, like one of those loft-like joints you come across in Little Five Points, Atlanta.
While the pub welcomes the football crowd it has an entirely different vibe from a sports bar, more of a microbrew afficianado�s hangout and definitely more urban than a lot of places here in Northwest Florida.
It fits right in to the evolutionary process that seems to be taking place in downtown Fort Walton Beach � the transformation of legacy businesses into niche restaurants and nightspots with a decidedly big city feel.
And if you�re interested, you can walk directly from your table inside The Boardroom into Liquid Surf & Sail to check out their selection of kayaks, wakeboards, surfboards and other things personal watersports.
The service
The server was polite, friendly and attentive. Our food was prepared quickly, and other servers inquired about our order status.
A final taste
The Boardroom strikes me as a great place to go with a friend, sit at a table or the bar and sample a couple of microbrews. If hunger intervenes, you�ve got no worries � they prepare munchables to suit a variety of appetites. You can watch TV or wander next door to check out the boards.
It�s another fine addition to downtown Fort Walton Beach.

So 1946, even though first digit of case serial number begings with "7". ...and we see Geoff has similar watch listed as 1947 as "His Excellency".
I'm guessing the subject watch is Rose Gold (14k gold filled)?

Tuesday on ESPN2's "First Take," co-host Stephen A. Smith weighed in on the continuous protests in the NFL over racial injustice, as well as the recent police shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, OK.
Smith said the protests, started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, are only going to "intensify" as a response the Crutcher shooting.
He went on to add later that if someone has an issue with Kaepernick's protest after he said it was not against the United States military, then it just speaks about the individual because African-Americans feel they may not even be second class citizens in this country.
"What cannot happen, and what cannot be tolerated, is us as a community and us as a nation turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to what exactly is transpiring," Smith stated. "Every time we want to sit up there and quell the noise about what's transpiring, some other event comes forward to remind us that we may not even be second class citizens in this nation, that our lives really, really don't matter, and something needs to be said about it, and something needs to be done about it."
"So whether we are agree or disagree with Colin Kaepernick, the moment he said social and racial injustice, the moment he brought that cause up, and he specifically articulated that in no way was he speaking against our military, from the moment he did that, I had no problem with it. And the fact that other people do says something to me about them, not about Colin Kaepernick," he concluded.

Sony has joined Microsoft in playing catch up to Nintendo by demonstrating a motion-sensing controller - albeit one that's just a prototype right now.
Sony showed its motion controller - or rather an engineering prototype of the future device - on stage at the E3 gaming show.
The controller looks like a black remote control with a round plastic bulb - or in Sony's words "glowing sphere" at the end. This bulb can then be tracked by the PlayStation EyeToy to control motion on the screen.
With buttons for various controls, Sony boasts that controller offers true one to one tracking, true 3D pointing and sub-millimetre accuracy.
Sony's E3 on-stage demo showed how the system would work with anything from drawing games to sports games to - and this is likely the most interesting application, considering how the system translates to working on screen - a first person shooter mode.
Sony ended the motion controller presentation promising it would share more soon, ahead of the new controller's spring 2010 launch.

"I would like to say that I had a most excellent experience as a PT patient of Bob Botkin over the past few months. His dynamic, receptive, and intuitive approach to therapy was impressive and effective.

|Cikembar Natural Zeolite
Iron oxide and iron oxide-zeolite magnetite composites have been prepared by co-precipitation method at temperature 70 ˚C. The magnetite composite were prepared with ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 by weight. The magnetite composites were made to obtain an adsorbent that can be responsive to magnetic field so that it can be separated by simple magnetic procedure. The result from X-ray diffraction characterization showed a similarity of diffraction peak of zeolite with specific peak in PCDFWIN program database no 29-1257, which was mordenit. In addition, iron oxide and magnetite composites had a same peak with specific peak in PCDFWIN program database no 19-0629, which was iron oxide of magnetite (Fe3O4). Characterization using scanning electron microscope showed microstructure of zeolite that have small pores, while magnetite composite revealed iron oxide particles that cover and surrounded the pores of the zeolite. Adsorption experiment using surface response method showed that adsorption capacity of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) with composite did not increase significantly. However, the composite samples were capable in separating the composite adsorbent from the adsorbate medium using permanent magnet. The optimum capacity of adsorption occurred in 0.5 g of adsorbent, adsorption time of 12 hours, and initial concentration of 60 ppm

CATSKILL, N.Y. >> State police have positively identified the remains of a body as a man who was missing for more than a year, authorities said Wednesday.
The remains were found at the house in which the missing man had last lived, police said.
State police at Catskill executed a warrant on Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 124 Tool House Road in Catskill and, as a result, recovered the remains of a body identified as Brandyn Dayne "Multy" Foster, 31, of Catskill, authorities said.
The remains were removed Tuesday and police were still awaiting autopsy results Wednesday, according to state police senior investigator Peter Kusminsky.
He would not say Wednesday whether this is considered a homicide investigation nor would he explain why police discovered Foster's body on Tuesday after searching and excavating on Tool House Road in October. Kusminsky said additional information would be released on Thursday or Friday.
Foster has been missing since January of 2017 and had last lived on the Tool House Road property, police said. Foster was a rapper and the son of jazz drummer Al Foster.
Investigators had previously said that Foster, who disappeared "without a trace" on Jan. 26, 2017, was not likely to be found alive.
Foster, 31, originally of Woodstock, was living in Catskill at the time of his disappearance. In October, Kusminsky said there was, "a strong indication that he is deceased."
Kusminsky had said Foster's disappearance first was reported to Woodstock police on Jan. 26, 2017, by his mother, who lives in the town.
Foster's mother, Bonnie Steinberg, said her son was "a great human being" and an "exceptional father" to his 10-year-old son.
Foster's disappearance was considered suspicious because he had "no contact whatsoever with family members," Kusminsky had said.
In October, police investigating Foster's disappearance had searched at two locations in the village of Catskill, Kusminsky said.
Investigators had searched 126 Tool House Road and 139 Broom St. in the Greene County community. That work, which involved digging at both locations, resulted in "some items" being collected, Kusminsky said at the time.
He did not identify the items then and said police were not yet sure if they are pertinent to the investigation.
Kusminsky had said that Foster's car was recovered, and that none of Foster's possessions have been located.
Assisting the investigation is the Greene County District Attorney's Office, Ulster County District Attorney's Office and FBI, police said.
— The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I really let this blog lapse, and I do feel dreadfully about it. I just got terribly overwhelmed with real life and trying to be more responsible, that I let this responsibility lapse. Winter is always rough for me, since it makes my entire body ache, and the snow and ice we get here makes me either mince around inch by inch like a newborn calf or fall flat on my face. (I usually choose the former.) It's also a sad time or me, especially in December, because my mum's birthday is the eighth, and even though she's been gone ages, it still stings. Same with my paternal grandfather's birthday, ten days later. Even if he wasn't a good man, I still cared about him. Throw school on top of winter, and I was glad just to keep functioning. I am back now, however, on this Mother's Night. It's funny, Yule and Mother's Night always make me feel my lack of fellow heathens more keenly, probably because it's right in the middle of the worst time of year for me. Still, though, progress on.
I ordered my 2014 seed catalogs tonight, and I am very excited about it. I did get my father's approval to have a bit of garden, so I'm planning and plotting (pun intended) for that, and waiting for the cold to go away. I don't know how much garden I'll get, but I figure I can still work in his and my grandmother's as well as my own. They don't think I'll stick with it, so all the more a challenge to me. Let it never be said I backed down from a proper challenge.
And let's hope I can get in the rhythm of posting again!

True miracles occurred with Jesus ministry and with the Apostles as a sign to the message and gospel.
As one Pharisees put it, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him".
Today, even among very nice Christians, their message is distorted by centuries of false doctrine and tradition. This is part of the great falling away. I am not judging this as a salvation issue, but that in this time, the message that many Christians preach is unrecognizable to Heaven.
God being just, would never support false teaching with miracles lest the people become more deceived thinking that God has approved.
Sure, God can still heal and he does. But when a big wig evangelist healer comes to town with a teaching based on the Trinity and other popular misconceptions, I am afraid that there is a good possibility that no sign will be given.
If we got back to the basics and steered clear of the metaphysical gospel of ontology, the one where God died for our sins, and preach the truth about God instead (including who Jesus really is), then I believe you will see signs at times if it is true and the motive is to extend the Kingdom of God, then God will endorse it and how does he do that? Through sings and wonders. You see God wants us to be healed and doesn't want any to perish or suffer. He also wants to demonstrate his power when the truth is shining to help people to believe in the truth.
What would the point of God physically healing someone at the hands of someone whose message is leading people astray or is enforcing false doctrine. God would be a party to helping people be deceived
Mark 9:43-48
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
As you can see, it is better to be maimed and enter life, than whole and be cast into hell.

Are there active terrorist groups that are not using religion as an excuse?
Any non-Islamic, non-Jew, non-Catholic, non-Protestant, non-Christian, but more political rather than "religious"?

No every organization is hiding behind religion or their countrie's flag.

There sure are, the most well known are: the CIA, MI6, SAS, etc.
Sure, like Green Peace, or no longer operational – that I know of – The Weather Underground. There are several like that in the USA that are not religiously driven but political. Granted they are not the suicide bomber types but more into vandalism such as arson and other property damage. They have killed and injured people before and especially like the Weather Underground, that was intended. These groups in the USA are from the very far left politically.
Recently, there have been politicians naming the Tea Party as a terrorist group. This currently has no truth to it and no facts to back up these accusations and amounts to only name calling. They initially tried to blame the shooting of Giffords on someone from a group like this, only to be shown that he was left wing.
Apollo is correct!
Also mossad and their freemason master's HAARP weapon
which causes hurricanes and earthquakes.
Peta, earth first etc. but thy have given their causes a religious aspect.
But all the drug cartels have to be considered terrorist. That is pure evil for money and power. No religion there!
Maoists in india, LTTE ( now off) in Srilanka etc.

From what I've heard and read, it's a good idea that each parent sticks to his or her native language when talking with the child. That might make it easier for the child to keep the languages apart, because they know one always speaks that language, while the other speaks the other language.
Good luck with the bi-languality. 🙂
just someone dropping by…
from L-Jay:
Hi Tor
Thanks. It sounds good but it would sure make it hard for me to learn Norwegian too ;). Speaking English at home all the time is what has prevented me from learning the language. I'm hoping that I will progress in my Norwegian with Lilu. She has already helped me learn so much already.
I definitely think there are benefits to being raised bilingual! My husband is American, I'm Norwegian, and we live in Norway, so our situation is pretty similar. Our 26-month old daughter uses mostly Norwegian words (she goes to Norwegian daycare, and my family and I speak to her in that language), but she understands English fairly well as my husband talks to her in that language. When we visited his American family this summer, we were surprised at how much she understood when they talked to her, so don't be discouraged even if it takes a while before your daughter'll use English with you, she probably understands a lot more words than she actually uses!
I grew up with 2 languages or rather 3. Born in Singapore, English was the national language and every family speaks both English and their native language at home. I grew up with Malay and English. But when i began kindergarten, there wasn't a choice to learn Malay in school as the majority of Singaporeans are Chinese, so our 2nd language in school was Mandarin. Thus i picked up Mandarin in kindergarten, on top of Malay and English. That was a pretty long time ago so i really had no idea how my brain reacted to all those languages. But being a Singaporean, most of us understand Mandarin(even though it is not the national language but the majority of Singaporeans are Chinese people) And my family loves to watch Chinese drama series, film, awards shows.. etc (it was made possible because of the English subtitles, so my vocabulary was greatly widened even though i only learned mandarin in school for 2 years in kindergarten)
After kindergarten, Malay became an option in school. So i was able to learn Malay and English in school and Mandarin from friends and TV. As a result, i am fluent in English and Malay and converse pretty fluently in Mandarin but never know how to read nor write.
Somewhere between 10-15 years old, i went to Muslim religious school(something like Sunday school). Arabic was part of the curriculum but nothing is left in my brain now.. however i can strangely still remember how to read arabic alphabets.
Sorry… that was but a long story about me.. 🙂
But i am also wondering how my kids will take the language. I am married to a Norwegian, moved here last year and picked up the language express speed because i was just too impatient. So i am done with the norsk prøve and …
Of course i prefer to speak in English but if any Norwegian ask me which language I prefer to converse in.. I say.. "Alt samme for meg. Du kan velge" Sometimes i feel like i just shot myself in the head because of course that means they will speak Norwegian.. but sometimes these Norwegians begin speaking in a dialect which is horrifyingly difficult to understand.. and i will really have to FOCUS.. I learn Norwegian in Kristiansand, Sørlandets dialect.. so i bet.. we probably have difficulty trying to converse in Norwegian if we try.. hahahha But I've learned to tell myself.. "Norwegian dialects are just SO CUTE" And actually i think Trømso's dialect is cute too…
My dilemma.. or rather I've been thinking how I should impart my language skills and my heritage to my kids(when we do eventually have them). Of course we want our kids to speak Norwegian and English. But i want them to speak Malay too.. so when we go back to Singapore for holidays, they can converse with grandma and grandpa and family in Malay. I am Malay and I don't want my kids to lose that part of our heritage. But that may be tricky. I hardly ever use Malay in my life now except for weekly calls to Mum. And when we do speak in Malay.. it is all a jumble mix of English and broken Malay.. (I am ashamed to say but i think my malay is slowly leaving me… ) So in an effort to prevent that disaster, I am starting to read Malay books so i can preserve that side of me…
But how to impart the Malay language to my kids would be a tricky one… And Mandarin!! I love my kids to be able to speak Mandarin too!! It is fast becoming one of THE language to have… and it will only be a benefit for them if they want to try it out in Asia when they grow up…
And by the way :)… one word of advice. You have to kick that habit of replying to Moose in English even if it frustrates you. That is the start for you to break the language barrier. You might have already heard this before.. BUT You have to imagine he don't understand English and Norwegian is the only language available.
from L-Jay:
Imagining Norwegian as the only language is a great idea. I have a Brazilian friend and she only speaks Portuguese and Norwegian so she makes me speak Norwegian…lol. Problem is Moose isn't so disaplined with speaking Norwegian to me. English is too easy for him.
I personally think you should speak Malay at home as your kids would learn Norwegian and English at school. Learning other languages help in life, especially international employment. Cantonese is popular to learn in Australia when you are taking business studies. If they are studying tourism then they learn Japanese.
I have a similar problem, being Englisha nd married to a Norwegian. I have a 4 year old son from a previous relationship that is attending barnehage. My husband speaks Norwegian to him and obviously he is surrounded by Norwegian each day. I am still waiting to start a language course (applied for residency over 4 months ago but thats another story). I am now 3 months pregnant and worry what will happen with baby no 2. I've bought the På vei books to try and teach myself more etc but feel really embarrassed when my son says something and I don't understand or the other children at barnehage talk to me and I have keep asking them to repeat or don't understand. Do you think I should continue speaking English with my son and also with the new baby when it arrives or try to switch to Norwegian?
Aaarghhh, any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks :0)
from L-Jay:
The dilemma of trying to teach your kids English when you need to learn Norwegian! I'm there ;). I think it is really important that your kids know you in English because that's where you can express who you truly are, your character, your sense of humour. You won't be able to do this if you always try to speak Norwegian to them, not for a while anyway. It's much more important that your kids know their mum first. But, of course, you will need time to practise your Norwegian, otherwise you'll never learn the language. This is what Moose and I do: When I'm alone with the kids I speak English with them. When Moose and I are with the kids together we speak mostly Norwegian as this is a time where Moose can teach me simple phrases and words that I can use on the kids. When Moose and I are alone we speak Norwegian when we are talking about everyday things. However, because I don't know enough Norwegian yet to have an adult conversation, we speak English when it's important. It takes commitment to switch back and forth all the time but if I only communicated in Norwegian I would get very frustrated.
Your English language is very important to your kids and it will help them greatly in life – English is the International Language. Because you have a family to look after your Norwegian learning will take a little longer. Usually single people or people without kids have more time to put into Norwegian. The most important thing is not to give up. I've wanted to give up so many times – when I have it has made me go back a couple of steps. If you make Norwegian a constant part of your life you will learn Norwegian quicker than expected ;).
Hope this helps.
As I'm currently studying picking up native vs second hand languages and the effects of age when doing so I'd like to comment that in the age of when a child first begin the speech process up until about the mid-teens a child's brain is somehow wired perfectly to pick up a language. It happens automatically and if the language is used at least to some extent up until reaching maturity that language will remain a native language alongside any other the child has learned.
To give an example, my sister lived in Madagascar for a while, and talked Norwegian to her children, the dad spoke his native language of Madagascar and they also went to a French school. The children all picked up all three languages like a native (French going away as they moved back to Norway and stopped using it).
As an adult however, in this case, you are forced to learn the Norwegian language through your English "decoder" meaning you translate everything back and forth which is a surprisingly complicated thing to do. You will unfortunately never reach the same level of proficiency of any native speaker due to this, but you can come close or at least close enough to fake it 😉
So, basically a kid will for all intents and purposes learn more than one language not only for "free" (compared to doing it the hard way later on) but will also learn it better than is ever possible if done the hard way later on.
This also goes part way to why Norwegians are considered decent at English overall (I live in Southern Norway and it seems to become more and more true for each new youth generation), as the youths are exposed and engaged more and more with the language at a younger age partly making it a native one. My own theory is that our shyness to use it comes largely from the same exposure as we know how it's meant to sound and feel embarrased when we know perfectly well just how much we are butchering the language when trying to use it.
The only inherent problem I can think of by exposing your child to English is that once in the Norwegian School System, she is quite likely to grew bored fast during the English subjects and will often more than likely surpass the teacher in language proficiency.
from L-Jay:
It's true about getting bored and surpassing the teacher. Moose is really good at language and he has a lot of English-speaking family. By the end of school his English teacher was asking him how to say stuff…lol.
I was speaking to a Norwegian friend last night and she confirmes everything you said about adults having a harder time because of their brain development. Her dad was Italian and so she was brought up with Italian and Norwegian as second nature. She said that when you learn the language as a child you have a quicker thought process as if you don't even have to think – just like walking. But as an adult, learning a language will never become second nature.
True, true, true. Estonian was my native language until I was 7, so dual languages at that age were OK. I started to learn Norwegian on the freighter to Oslo by copying from a tiny blue dictionary every Norwegian word that was like English. The other passengers helped me enormously by talking baby talk to me and my kids, then 4 and 8.
A week after we got to Oslo, my son was dreaming, "Nei, nei", while the little boy next door was dreaming, "No, no". Two years later my daughter asked me to speak in English "because you have an accent". Turned out to be a Finnish accent because of the Estonian. Go figger.
I would like some advice. Our situation is slightly different. I am Norwegian, my wife is American and we live in Australia, so the only Norwegian influence in my children's lives is me. Speaking Norwegian at home is hard because my wife does not understand (although she wants to learn). Also, I spend most of the day at work so during the week I will only see the kids a couple of hours a day. Any suggestions on how to teach them norwegian (they are 2 and 3 years old)?
from L-Jay:
Actually at Lil' Red's last check-up at the health clinic we discussed the same thing with the nurse. She said the easiest way for kids to learn both languages is for the English-speaker to only speak English to the kids and the Norwegian-speaker only Norwegian. This way the kids can sort out the two different languages in their mind easier. We have been trying to do this in our home but sometimes we have found it a little hard to keep it going. So, what we have been doing to help me learn Norwegian and to help the kids learn English is two things:
Firstly, when Moose is alone with the kids he only speaks Norwegian – at the play ground, at the shops – everywhere. When I'm alone with the kids I only speak English. When we are together we speak Norwegian and English – this is really to help me learn Norwegian. When we are together (at the moment) we only use Norwegian for basic sentences like commands or questions: Ikke rør/ka du kjør? until I learn more. The way it goes is that I would see Lilu wanting to touch something, I would ask Moose how to say 'don't touch' in Norwegian, he'll tell me and then I use it. But the big conversations we have are still in English. At first it took a little commitment in remembering to use Norwegian and English at certain times but once the habit was established we now automatically use this way to communicate in the family.
Secondly, to help me learn Norwegian words through reading and writing I play with the kids using Norwegian language learning tools – reading books, watching videos, counting, the alphabet, singing nursery rhymes. Maybe you can get your Norwegian family to send you over some Norwegian children's books and videos. Your wife can easily learn the alphabet and numbers (even from this website 😉 ) and you can teach the family your childhood nursery rhymes and national songs. Get your wife reading Norwegian websites – recipe website and children's websites, even gossip websites. Some sites have Norwegian TV/videos. You can send your wife to the post: Good Norwegian Food Websites to get her going with Norwegian cooking/reading. I don't know where you live, but usually there are Norwegian or Scandinavian clubs in Oz. Just hanging out with other Norwegians will bring 'Norway' into your family as they celebrate traditions and special Norwegian days. Being around all the Norwegian language speakers will also motivate your family to learn.
I Hope this helps.
Hi Lynee, I wonder if I can get in touch with you because I'm a Singaporean too, and would love to know another fellow Singaporean in Norway. My email is email@example.com. Hope to hear from you!
Hi again 🙂 I've written before, but I keep forgetting about your site and only see it every few months. Everytime I check I'm like "Yayyyyy, a kindred spirit!!". I'm aussie with a 3 yr old daughter (Azalia) and a norwegian beau (Andreas), living in Oz.
Andreas never speaks norwegian with me and it is SO frustrating!! I can understand him pretty well when he does, but I am hopeless at speaking it back (sentence structure drives be bananas). He has little patience and usually ends up finishing my sentences for me or in most cases switching to english because "it doesn't feel natural" having a bilingual conversation 🙁
As a result, my daughter has now lost all the norwegian she picked up when we lived there for a few months last year & actually get's annoyed if we speak to her in norwegian 🙁 I persist in reading norwegian books to her, and she has several dvds in norwegian. When she feels like speaking it she speaks english with a warped norwegian-sounding accent – so cute!!
As for me, I'm progressing quite slowly.. but I love the look of your lessons, if I could just remember to come here more often!! And I love watching norwegian dvds (Brødrene Dal and Max Manus are favourites :D). I wish I knew more people in my situation around here to practise with.. but maybe I'll meet some at the Brisbane May 17 parade!
This has turned into quite the speech, but the point was I reeeally hope we can get to speaking norwegian around my house consistently before I have any more kids! You guys are awesome, keep up the good work 🙂

from L-Jay:
It is custom for Norwegians to always convert to English as it is an everyday thing. there are so many English-speaking tourists, immigrants and students that it is much easier for Norwegians to convert to English than English-speakers speaking Norwegian. It's more about speaking the common language that both knows the most. Most Norwegians know how to speak much more English than I Norwegian so it is common sense to speak English. I have a friend who is an English-speaking university lecturer. He said it is almost impossible to learn Norwegian as even though he starts a conversation in Norwegian it always ends in English as Norwegians realise that you are an English-speaker and convert just to be helpful. Language is about communication and if it is easier for English to be spoken then it has a tendency to creep into conversation.
However, like with your situation, I'm finding that my kids aren't learning enough English now…lol. As I'm learning Norwegian and have gone back to classes I am more and more using Norwegian than English….lol.
Hi! Im a singaporean too in norway! Hoping to connect with other singaporeans here too! Cheers!
relax Moms, little ones understand more than you know. My friend's little child understood her Grandmother but the Mother didn't believe it. So Granma told the little girl (in Granma's language) to get her a cup of water……off she toddled & came back with a cup of water.
The learning curve for adults gets mighty steep & peeks about 45 but children absorb it thru the air.

from L-Jay:
In the language test that I mentioned above in the post, the doctor would ask in Norwegian: Put the bear to bed. Now feed the bear with the spoon. Can you put the clothes on the bear? Can you find the car for the bear. In many instances Lilu wouldn't respond or she would do something else because she didn't know what the doctor was saying. Lilu could only respond to one phrase sentences like 'Where is the bed?' and 'Sit here' and this is because I can only say one phrase sentences in Norwegian. Her English learning was worse than this as I didn't speak basic English to her.
I think one of the problems came from the Norwegian words I would use. We would use 'kassa' for bed but the doctor would use 'seng'. We use 'kos' for hug and the doctor would use 'klem'. And even though I was speaking Norwegian to Lilu, I was using 'Englishised-phrasing'. I would say my sentences like a native English-speaker instead of a Native-Norwegian speaker.
I presume your friend's Grandma would be talking to the child regularly in the other language – but that is the key and that is what the point of the post is. A child has to get 100% language from you to be able to understand and speak it 'natively'. Norwegians grow up with English every day of their lives – on TV, in books, in movies and even their friends, plus they learn English from 8 years of age at school – yet, they are still not 'native' in their speech. This is because they are not 'living' the language. For Lilu to become a native speaker of English she has to live the language and that just doesn't come when one parent is speaking native Norwegian and the other 'Englishised'-Norwegian.
Concerning language development and cultural heritage, here in Norway it is important that an Australia-Norwegian, a Kenyan-Norwegian or a Russian-Norwegian child, etc, learns to speak their heritage language 'natively'. It seems that Norwegians think (well, the government) this will be a valuable asset for the character and identity for the future of Norway ;). (This is very different from Australia. Sadly Australia doesn't care about any other language than English.)
hi there,i am 2oweeks pregnant till which date i can apply to norway to join my husband.i ma alone here need to join him as this is our precious pregnancy conceived after 5yrs of marriage n great struggle.now seen blood sugar high so very frustated wants to be with husband he has 2yrs visa n working too how much chances for me to get visa and join him in norway.
from L-Jay:
If your husband's visa won't let him transfer to a residency permit and he only has a year left of work your application is likely to be rejected. This is because his visa will have expired before you application will be processed.
So interesting ready all the posts!
I have two little boys aged 2 and a half and 4 years old, both were born in Norway but my husband and I are both from the UK originally.
My husband speaks fluent Norwegian (although his written isn't so great!) as he has been coming over here working in the summer for a long time before we moved here.
I have found it really hard to learn the language, I took a 12 week course which helped me a lot but as a Brit I had to pay for it (which isn't cheap) and it took so much of my time up which wasn't great as I also run my own business from home.
I was really worried about my eldest as his English wasn't great, he went to barnehage from 18 months for 3 days a week but seemed to be slow with his Norwegian too. Then over the last few months it is like something has clicked for him, his English is great he can have a conversation with me no problems and surprises me with the words he knows. His Norwegian is doing the same so I clearly had nothing to worry about and the advice of – English at home /Norwegian outside has paid off.
My 2 and a half year old started barnehage at 13 months old and he is doing a lot better on the talking front, it may just be the way he is but I also think that starting him a bit younger before he was saying so much in English was a big advantage to him.
Now I just need to get my level of Norwegian on track! My biggest problem is time, but I need to prioritise better. I found http://www.byki.com/ a great free resource to help build up vocabulary, and their online flash cards really help to make the words stick in my head.
My main problem now is I can understand most of what is said to me but I often lack the vocab to answer properly. I get frustrated as in the UK I'm a pretty chatty, friendly person but here I feel like I can't express myself or get my personality across because of my level of Norwegian. This then impacts the ability to make friends too.
I often feel embarrassed to use English as I've been here 5 years now and really should have got to grips with the language by now.
I like the tip to speak Norwegian to each other, I think I will have to get my husband to start using more Norwegian with me to help build up my vocab. Funnily enough I do often speak Norwegian to our dog lol!! ;o)
from L-Jay:
I've always had a problem with learning Norwegian. It is because I'm not a 'listening' person. Australians don't even speak English properly (and the funny thing is, we take pride not too…lol). Learning the language meant I had to learn about language itself – not something that we care about in Oz. That is the thing – moving to Norway meant I had to care about it. I dug my heels in for a long time mainly because I don't like doing things when I feel pressured (and there is a lot of pressure to learn the language). I will be writing more on this subject and how our family is 'coping' with two languages.
I feel embarrassed too. I've been here for five years as well. I think some people just need time to live the language. There are so many other things we (you and me) have had to do first like know how to drive on the other side of the road, know how to adjust to winter/arctic living and know how to live in Norway day-by-day all the while still working and raising a family. Then on top of that having to learn a new language. Really, we should not be embarrassed, look what we have achieved! I bet a university student who learns the language in three months would just crumble if they had our responsibility. 😉
Can anyone recommend some very basic children's books in Norwegian? I've found a couple websites that will ship to the UK, but no idea where to start with the huge number of books. I'm learning Norwegian and would like to increase my vocabulary in the way children do, by learning new words as they come across them. So far the only book I have is "Tim og banken" that I picked up when I registered for my bank account while living in Norway over the Summer! Now back in the UK, I wish I'd visited a book shop… 'Real' children's books are so much more interesting than what you find in an adult text book. Any favourites? My reading age is probably about 1 year so far!
As an American grandma, who brought up her American daughter in Norway, and now has a Norwegian granddaughter, I recommend singing children's songs. A great way to learn language. I used to sing from "Barnas viser" Gyldendal Norsk Forlag ved jan Nielsen. And the they are the same songs my granddaughter learns in barnehage. Now I smile when she says, "Kom igjen, Grandma!" (Please pass this on to Jade.) Takk!
My daughter spoke and was exposed to Norwegian from birth to four, and we, both parents, spoke American English at home. She attended a few months of sixth grade in norway as an exchange with friends, and when she decided to attend university in Oslo, she was totally proficient in less than a year. Now she lives in Bergen, and is adept at that dialect, and married to a man with Karmøy dialect. I struggle with his parents' dialect… but for the few times I visit them, I'm getting better.
Don't worry about the kids!!

Drug trafficking invokes images of organized crime and international drug cartels. Most people wrongly assume that the crime of drug trafficking necessarily involves the transportation of large quantities of illicit substances. In reality, an individual in unlawful possession of a mere 4 grams of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, or other specified narcotic is criminally liable for drug trafficking, even if the individual has no intent to transport or sell the narcotic. Under Florida law, an otherwise law abiding citizen, who is addicted to painkillers and is in unlawful possession of prescription pills, is subject to severe and unforgiving penalties.
When you've been arrested, call our Weston drug crime attorney at (954) 371-0770.
Knowingly and unlawfully possessing 4 grams of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, or other specified narcotic carries a mandatory 3 year prison sentence and a fine of $50,000. If the amount is 14 grams or more, the penalty is a minimum 15 year prison sentence and a $100,000 fine. Knowingly and unlawfully possessing 28 grams of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, or other specified narcotic carries with it a mandatory 25 year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine. If the amount is 30 kilograms or more, the penalty is mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole.
What is more, in the case of a medical doctor who is suspected of having written prescriptions in bad faith, the prosecution may charge the doctor with trafficking. In proving its case against a medical doctor, the prosecution may rely on the aggregate of multiple written prescriptions, without ever proving that the doctor possessed the narcotic. In other words, simply writing prescriptions in bad faith may result in more than the loss of a medical license; it may result in a lifetime behind bars.
When the stakes are high, it is essential that individuals seek representation from a Weston criminal defense lawyer experienced in complex criminal litigation. Attorney Kevin F. Moot is a former Major Violent Crimes prosecutor who has significant experience litigating cases in which the potential penalty is mandatory life in prison. His approach to high stakes litigation involves a meticulous study of the facts, the evidence, and the latest developments in the law.
Weston drug crime attorney Kevin F. Moot is eager to discuss solutions with his clients. Contact him now for a free consultation.

A fusion of the old and the new, this traditional pattern of antiquity has been revived with blues, green and mustards to arrive somewhere new. Much like the work of our dedicated graffitti artists, with each step forward, you bring with you a rich past.
Let us unite, together through art and self expression. Let there not be no divide of country and race. Let us be one army, one nation, indivisble. These are the values of the true social commentator, the responsibility of the graffiti artist.
Created, manifested, carved out beauty by the artists hands, this pattern is rich in intricacy, beauty and completely classic.
Perfectioned stained in burgundy, eggplants and moss. Imperfection is reality, and graffitti shines a light upon just that.
For digitally dedicated, hack away into every aspect every your life, including your fashion sense.
Antiquated remnants of past city dwellers of the oldest city in the world. For every metropolis there is a story, a history that needs to be brough forward.
Blues, Aqua, and Mustard brand this mosaic sock patterns. Design ingenuity, inspried by what was 5Pointz in New York City.
It is possible for beauty to exist amongst the concrete, the industrial and the expected.
Blown up graffitti etchings in aqua blue capture the on the edge sentiment when on the brink of something, totally and completely new.
The fierce fashionisto fights the daily war against the normal, expected and well boring. Rugged maroons, black and gray pattern this beautifullly bold pattern.

An Eye for Design
By Diane Virginia
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that he has made… so that they are without excuse."
Romans 1:20
Intelligent design. This is a term we've coined to describe the complexity of nature's design as evidence of an Intelligent Designer. God is this Intelligent Designer and He has an eye for design. Consider as an example the honeybee. God created the bee with five eyes—three simple and two compound. He fashioned the bee's four wings to lock together during flight like a zipper. He gave the bee two stomachs—one for eating and one for storing nectar. He covered the honeybees legs with fishhook-like hair in just the right areas. Thus, as the honeybee collects honey, he also catches pollen, and as a result, his food source thrives even though he is unaware.
The bee's social structure points us to the Intelligent Designer. The honeybee cooperates with his coworkers to fashion the hexagonal comb in which he stores nectar. This shape is strong. The honeybee cannot know this, but, nonetheless, the Designer has instilled in him the instinct to create the comb as a series of interlocking hexagons. The honeybee seals his sweet nectar delicacy into the comb's chambers only when the hydration and sugar levels are optimal. On hot days, the honeybee will join other workers in a military-style lineup to fan the honey. Thus, it does not spoil from exposure to heat. Again, instinct is at work. Consider this example further, and we see that the bee's ability to find its hive from distances and to relay the location of flower sources to its coworkers through waggle and circle dances requires the impartation of the Intelligent Designer. Furthermore, each bee has a different job in the hive—some guard, some collect honey, others nurse drones and eggs, and some mate with the queen. All of these intricacies speak of the existence of God who is the Intelligent Designer.
Paul speaks of the Intelligent Designer in Romans 1:20. He teaches us that when we look at anything in nature we have no excuse in realizing God exists. It is He who has designed our world with precision and creativity. The honeybee's design is one of innumerous examples.
If God created this tiny creature with five eyes of two types, and with an orderly social system, then how did He designed you? Not only did He design you with innate abilities beyond instinctual impartation, He gifted you with His eye for design. In Genesis 1:26a He says, "Let us make man in our image… Let them [mankind] have dominion." The God who designed you trusts you to care for all He has created. Adam's job is ours now.
The honeybee is on the decline but it doesn't have to be. Mites, pesticides, and urbanization has affected this little creature. As God's caretakers, what can we do? We can support research on honeybee health, use pesticides responsibly, and support local farmers by buying their honey. We can plant wildflowers in our highway medians, backyards, and patios. The next time we see a honeybee, let's remember that the Lord, who has an eye for design, has entrusted the honeybee and every creature to our care.
Father God, when I look at the honeybee, I see an example of Your eye for design. Help me to be a responsible steward of the bee and all You have created.[Top]

Just in time for Tax Day this year, the California State Auditor's Office released a report on a number of the state's corporate tax credits, deductions and exemptions known as "tax expenditures."
The report examined six of the largest state tax expenditures, including the research and development credit; the minimum franchise exemption, which waives the $800 minimum franchise tax on corporations for their first year in business; the "water's-edge" election, which excludes businesses' foreign income from state taxes; the low-income housing credit; the film and television credit and the Subchapter S corporation election, which offers lower taxes to small-business corporations.
The Auditor's Office criticized the state for failing to regularly review its tax expenditures to see that they are achieving their intended goals. For example, "Because no state entities oversee or regularly evaluate the R&D credit or the minimum franchise tax exemption, we found insufficient evidence to determine whether these tax expenditures are fulfilling their purpose," the Auditor declared.
The Auditor also recommended implementing several best practices from other states, including clearly stating the Legislature's policy objectives for each tax expenditure, adopting performance measures and implementing sunset provisions to require the Legislature to periodically evaluate and reauthorize the tax breaks. Those all seem to be sound, commonsense measures.
While we sympathize with the notion that we should support targeted tax breaks because we should take whatever tax relief we can get to spur job and economic growth, the more this special-interest lobbying is rewarded, the more time and money businesses will spend trying to buy favorable policies from legislators and the less they will invest in improving their businesses and serving their customers.
And while such tax breaks might benefit a certain industry, they unfairly tilt the playing field and put businesses in nonfavored industries at a disadvantage. Moreover, tax exemptions tend to have limited effects, because they often reward behavior that would have taken place with or without the tax breaks.
We favor an approach of broad-based tax reduction, coupled with the elimination of tax exemptions. A 2013 study by Reason Foundation and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association estimated that, by eliminating the most "egregious" tax credits and exemptions, the state could lower its overall corporate tax rate by at least 20 percent. That would drop it from the eighth-highest rate in the nation to near the national median rate, which would benefit all businesses and improve the state's pathetic business climate.

Tonight someone came to see the house FINALLY! The good thing: the house got shown! The BAD thing(s): the appointment service DID NOT CALL US, so we had no idea they were coming. Thus, the house was not show-ready at all. We are generally neat people, so it was not THAT bad, but dishes in the sink, clean laundry sitting in a basket, the bed unmade, etc. General everyday clutter, because, hey, we LIVE here. The people were really nice and were genuinely sorry that we were inconvenienced but we were just glad that someone came to see it! So now we wait, hope and pray for an offer.
Sidenote: Greg and I specifically prayed last night for someone to come see the house, then promptly fell asleep and put it out of our minds. Answered prayer, once again!!!
Happy Birthday CALEB!!! (poor baby is still sicky)
