Burns suppers: neeps, tatties, and A Toast to the Lassies
January 25th is the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, when Burns suppers are held in commemoration of the Scottish poet and lyricist. Despite being the national bard of Scotland, his influence spreads much further than those national borders, and his works have been translated into many languages including Russian and Czech. There are Burns clubs in such far-flung (in relation to rural Ayrshire, Burns' birthplace) places as Atlanta and Dunedin, statues in Cheyenne and Melbourne, and Burns even appeared on a commemorative postage stamp issued in 1956 in the Soviet Union.
Old acquaintances
Many of us commemorate Burns at least once a year, perhaps without even realising it. It has become traditional, certainly in the UK but also in other parts of the English-speaking world, to sing Auld Lang Syne after heralding in a new year. Reflecting, as it does, on long-standing friendships, it lends itself to other occasions, such as weddings, graduations, and even funerals. Although it has become synonymous with Burns, he did state that it was a traditional folk song which he had written down rather than something he had composed. Whatever the origins, the song is now sung worldwide, in differing versions, at all manner of occasions.
Let's eat
The first Burns suppers took place on the anniversary of Burns' death, in the month of July, but since the beginning of the 19th century, most take place on or around the 25th of January. Many are informal affairs, but there are also plenty more formal affairs, which follow a traditional format that has been in place for a long time. After the guests have arrived and been seated, the Selkirk Grace is said.
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.
Although strongly associated with Burns, this grace was already known in Scotland in the 17th century under a different name – the Covenanter's Grace or the Galloway Grace. Its subsequent renaming and attribution to Burns is most probably down to Burns giving a rendition of it at a dinner attended by the Earl of Selkirk,
After a starter, which is usually a traditional Scottish soup like cock-a-leekie, it is time for the main event.
Gie her a haggis (unless she's vegetarian)
The haggis is brought in to the accompanying skirl of the bagpipes, with all attendants upstanding for the entrance. The Address to the Haggis, penned by Burns, is then recited, and upon reaching the third verse, the speaker will plunge a knife into the haggis, cutting it open.
His knife see rustic Labour dicht,
An' cut you up wi' ready slicht,
Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Once a toast has been made, the throng sit down to enjoy the meal, accompanied by neeps and tatties. Afterwards, a traditional dessert of cranachan (whipped cream, whisky, oatmeal, honey, and berries), or Tipsy Laird (whisky trifle) is served, and then the speeches begin.
Memories and lassies
The Immortal Memory could probably be described as the keynote speech of a Burns supper. It is not something that Burns wrote, but rather the speaker will deliver words on Burns' life, his contribution to literature and society, touching on his political views, and commenting on his triumphs and failings. While essentially a serious speech with the intention of praising the man, it is usually delivered with plenty of humour
Burns had a great reputation as a ladies' man, so it is entirely fitting that A Toast to the Lassies is given. This will usually touch upon his views on women, as well as women in general, in a good-humoured and tongue-in-cheek fashion. And swiftly following is the Reply to the Toast to the Lassies, which allows the speaker to address any contentious points from the previous toast, also in a light-hearted way,
Interspersed throughout the evening there is usually entertainment in the form of songs and poetry. Burns was an extremely prolific writer, so there are plenty of pieces to choose from in this area. His most famous work is arguably Tam o' Shanter, which describes the journey home, on horseback, of the eponymous Tam who has been in the pub for quite some time, and when he happens upon some supernatural beings enjoying a dance in a local kirk, instigates a thrilling chase home. The title has now passed into common parlance as a type of hat.
And of course the evening wouldn't be complete without a rousing rendition of Auld Lang Syne.

I have a male housed alone in a 25 gallon (red sea max cube style tank) and two females housed in separate 10 gallon tanks.
I wanted to breed them, by putting the females in his tank and then removing them when he starts to guard the eggs.
It seemed to work the first time I added a female, with the male subsequently guarding moss for a few days though I saw no eggs or babies.
Now he is much too aggressive to the females, if I put one in I'm forced to remove her because he is so relentless in chasing it. Even if she successfully hides for a time, she still breathes quickly and looks terrified.
I tried putting a female in at night after the lights were out, and the next day it was still being chased to the point of panic, so I think it's not just the shock of simultaneously entering a new tank from a net and suddenly having a male to deal with.
Maybe there is a way to get the females to be more receptive, maybe they need a trigger to want to actually cooperate with him. They're well fed and have had plenty of live blackworms, they look big and round. Maybe a week of feeding them live mosquito larvae might help.
I also have a pair that has been together in their own planted 30 gallon (30" X 18" X 12)tank for a couple of months, and I have the opposite problem.
The male seems to have lost interest in the female. He always stays in his territory, and will chase her out of it if she comes near but is not out to swim around and find her like he has been in the past.
He used to display to her often and at one point there was also another female in there, and he definitely bred with them a few times. It's good that I have a pair which can live together with a moderate level of chasing and biting, but I don't know if it's a bad sign that the male has become less motivated to try and chase the female and breed with her.
On the other hand the male that is alone is so aggressive that I don't know what to do with him. Him and the two females in a 75 gallon is one idea, which I can't give them right now.
Maybe keeping one male alone is going to always make him react strongly when he finally sees a female. I would just keep the pair that is together and get rid of the other three at an lfs, but they might not want such aggressive fish and there probably aren't many people who would be willing to give them space and try and solve the problems with the male's behavior. I might have to find someone who wants them, I haven't given up yet though so maybe it's a matter of conditioning the female.

Re: lorteti breeding
Interesting issues you have... I had a dominant female who, after breeding with her mate 3x, killed him. Could never put another male with her, she killed them all.
My guess is that male is not going to be a good breeder (ya think???). I was thinking the same as you--probably a much larger tank with a TON of decor would help. Also, maybe many females to chase around, instead of a single one.

I wonder what the collective term is for a gathering of hashers ? , a "pack" I suppose,
however that seems too tame. How about a "confusion" of hashers ?.
So after these little diversions we remembered what we had come to do, and set out south down
the imaginatively named B2132 with Flash and Old Faithful showing an unusual enthusiasm
for pounding the tarmac.
The pack became all stretched out as we headed north, and then all bunched as we hit a regroup
in order to attempt the dangerous crossing of the main road by Chichester Lodge.
After the postmortem we all headed somewhat predictably down to the village pond and then
further to Park Lane where a saboteur had obliterated a long section of the trail.
After thanking himself for laying the trail the JM deferred to our temporary mistress for nominations which included Pink Flamingo for flaunting her brand new bright blue chariot, Panda for seeing things, OF for sitting on the bench by the school, and awarding the Hash It to Dr Blood for his shortcutus inflagrantis.
Then into The Spur of course, for the usual, which was nice.

One of the most horrifying things imaginable, at least for me, is the tragic and/or sudden passing of a pet. My 13 year old pup has been in declining health for the better part of 3 years – so I've had time to "prepare" for her sooner rather than later passing. When it's finally her time, my sadness won't be diminished by any degree simply because I have been preparing myself for it for a good while – but there won't be that feeling of terror mixed with shock mixed with gut-wrenching devastation that comes with, well, any "other kind" of pet death. Most unfortunately, one of my recent experiences has to do with that other kind of death – the terribly tragic and shockingly sudden passing of a friend's dog. A dog that was young, sweet, friendly, gentle, affectionate and….rescued.
It was a Thursday afternoon, and I was in my usual spot in front of my laptop. The semi-silence was broken by blood curdling screams, sounds that made my heart skip 100 beats while my legs raced me to the front window so that I could see what the hell was going on. I could only see a partial view of my neighbor, Laura, running across the street while yelling something I couldn't quite make out. By this time, several neighbors had also come outside to see what was happening. I stood in the middle of street trying to make sense of what Laura was saying, when it hit me. MAX. Something had happened to Max – she was screaming that Max was dead. But how? Where was he? Why was she saying he got stuck somewhere? What did that mean? I ran into her house to find Max on the floor, surrounded by potato chip pieces and a bag. I kneeled over Max, panicked and crying, trying to figure out what I was seeing. Did he actually suffocate in a potato chip bag??!! In a house that is puppy proofed to the extreme and kept spotless??
It seemed like an eternity passed as I stared into his eyes, while I pushed on his chest and yelled at him to get up . This CANNOT be happening. My brain now knew what I was seeing but the rest of me absolutely refused to believe it. I screamed inside while Laura screamed outside, collapsed on the sidewalk. I knew he was gone, but still thought for a split second that maybe he could be revived. Maybe he hadn't been gone for that long… maybe there was a chance this sweet boy wasn't really gone forever.
A neighbor called the nearest Vet Clinic (Ansley) to tell them what happened and that I was on my way with Max. She helped me wrap him in a blanket and get him into my car and I sped – while I wailed – all the way there. I walked into Ansley Animal Hospital and one look at me told them exactly who I was and why I was there. I was still holding onto one droplet of hope that Max could be revived, because how was Laura going to get through this? Max is her life! This is a girl who puts her beloved pet above anything else. This is a girl who has neighbors check in on Max if she is going to be gone from the house for more than a few hours. This is a girl who would sell her house to care for Max, if need be. This is a girl who didn't deserve to have her pup taken from her at all – much less in such a tragic, freak way. While I stood around crying in between mutters of "no no no no no…," the compassionate staff of Ansley knew just what to do with Max, and my hysterical self. Sadly, I drove home with an empty blanket and a grieving heart.
For the next week, Laura and I would sit in her house together and just cry. No words were needed, or even wanted, just the company of someone else who could understand the devastation and profound sadness of the situation. Every once in awhile while we sat together crying, Laura would think out loud, "why, why, why…" and the only thing I could think of, was that God needed another angel in Heaven.

sociological imagination
Extracts from this document...
Sociologically speaking, what are 'society', 'culture' and 'the individual'? Within this essay I will be giving different interpretations of 'society, 'culture' and 'the individual'. I will mainly be doing this by referring to different sociologists. I will also be referring to definitions that people may generally assume that these particular words mean. In my opinion, the words 'society', 'culture' and 'the individual' are all words that are all related in some way. By this I mean you cannot have a 'society' without 'culture' or 'the individual'. A society can be phrased in a formal sense. For example, you can get certain societies like The Anti-Slave Society but I will be talking about 'society', 'culture' and 'the individual' in a sociological context with reference to Jenkins and Giddens as well as other sociologists. The reason why I will be referring to these sociologists is because they have specifically written about 'society' and 'culture' which I can relate to within my essay and I can then compare the different interpretations. In everyday language people may refer to the word 'society' as something that exists 'somewhere'. ...read more.
Sociologists such as Jenkins would say that 'Society' and 'culture' can be said to stress some of the same concerns. 'Society' and 'Culture' both address individual's behaviour. In my opinion, there is a link between culture and society because they do have a shared meaning when it comes to individual ways of doing certain things, individual's reactions and actions. In Jenkins (2002) book there is a paragraph that would agree with me to a certain extent; "The dividing line between 'society' and 'culture' is further obscured if we recognise that ordered social life is impossible without at least some shared meanings, and that the notion of shared meanings makes absolutely no sense other than in the context of interaction." (Jenkins 2002:55) "Since culture was learned from other humans, and since human behaviour was almost entirely patterned by culture, it followed that man was unthinkable without society." (Van Den Berghe 1975). This quote shows again the link between 'society' and 'culture', I want to go a little bit further than a sociological interpretation and I wanted to find more in depth reading and that is why I have gone further to read into Berghe's work about "Man in society". ...read more.
In my opinion, you cannot have a society without individuals and all individuals have a culture of some sort. People stick to different norms and values that they think is either 'right' or 'wrong'. I find it very difficult to talk about society without mentioning individuals or culture; you can't get one without the other. Different societies have different ways of doing things and have different acceptable situations. For example, marrying more than one person in some cultures is acceptable but not others. Sociologists obviously go into the argument of the link between the concepts in more depth than what I do but sociologists like Jenkins (2002) say that considering the link between society and culture is obscured and that the distinction between the two concepts just helps people to think about the human world. He also points out that he doesn't see the necessity to find a distinction or connection between culture and society. I do feel there is a distinction and connection between the words and I feel it is necessary to know what they are because the words are concepts that need to be defined. Whether in a similar or dissimilar way to one another, it doesn't matter, there is still distinction to be made and there is no reason why that shouldn't be done. ...read more.

Botox® Cosmetic Targets Wrinkles
Improve the appearance of frown lines and crow's feet, get Botox Injections
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It's not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold, this is where botox injections come in. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow's feet.
BOTOX Injections Cosmetic works beneath the skin's surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow's feet to form over time.
Dr. Bedrick will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscles that cause frown lines and crow's feet lines, temporarily reducing the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines. Visit our friendly staff serving the Hudson, Akron, Cleveland , Streetsboro, Cuyahoga, and surrounding areas.

Press Statements
Hindutva terror—Mushawarat writes to Home Minister demanding probe
All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat / The Milli Gazette Online
Published Online: Feb 05, 2014
Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde
Hon'ble Home Minister of India
New Delhi 110001
Dear Sushil Kumar Shindeji,
I hope you had time to read "The Believer" report in the current issue of Caravan magazine which is on the news-stands now. Based on four interviews with Swami Aseemanand, a prime accused in Hindutva terror cases, this report makes abundantly clear that the umpteen terror attacks across the country including Samjhauta, Ajmer and Makkah Masjid, were not the handiwork of a small group. Rather, the whole RSS organisation including its current supremo Mohan Bhagwat and top leader Indresh Kumar blessed, planned, financed and protected the saffron terrorists. It is also clear that Aseemanand is not remorseful in the least about what he and his group of terrorists did as says that there is no point of being sorry about them and that these acts will continue.
It is a painful reality that the security and probe organisations under your direct control have failed to properly probe the saffron terror attacks which were passed off as handiwork of Muslim boys. The organisations under your direct control are yet to even interrogate Mohan Bhagwat and Indresh Kumar. This should have been done long ago as Malegaon 2008 and Ajmer blast chargesheets are clear about these and other RSS leaders' role in planning and financing those blasts.
This is a fit case to outlaw RSS as it has been flagrantly violating the undertaking it gave in 1949 to get the ban lifted on its activities (which was imposed after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by its members in 1948) that it will remain a social organisation and it will shun political activity. Now it is clear that not only it indulges in divisive political activity through its proxy (BJP), it also clearly indulges in high treason by planning, financing and abetting terror activities aimed at dismantling the secular and constitutional system of our country.
Mr Shinde, you and your UPA government will be responsible to the nation and to history if you fail in your constitutional duty to punish the real perpetrators of terror in India as this activity is not a simple crime but high treason since it involves a plan to illegally demolish the legitimate secular edifice of our polity.
Yours sincerely
Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan

January 13, 2009
Plan Endorsed by Bill McKibben, Michael Moore, Randy Udall, Lester Brown.
Post Carbon Institute today announced the release of "The Real New Deal: Energy Scarcity and the
Path to Energy, Economic, and Environmental Recovery," a proposal to the
incoming Obama Administration.
The plan calls for responding to the current economic crisis with a
massive policy and investment shift towards a fossil fuel-independent
economy. Noting the urgency to address global fossil fuel depletion and
climate change, the "Real New Deal" calls for a series of bold measures to
electrify the transportation system, rebuild the electricity grid,
relocalize the food system, and retrofit the nation's building stock for
both energy efficiency and energy production.
The plan's lead author is Post Carbon Institute Senior Fellow Richard
Heinberg, author of "The Party's Over: Oil, War, and the Fate of
Industrial Societies" and an internationally recognized expert on fossil
fuel depletion. Heinberg said, "While there are many 'new deal' plans
being offered to President-elect Obama, our plan recognizes that declining
fossil fuel supplies and rising greenhouse gas emissions put us at
tremendous and immediate risk. Building more roads and bridges as a
stimulus for jobs is the wrong tactic. We must re-engineer our country now
to deal with the end of cheap energy and to stop catastrophic climate change."
Bill McKibben, author of "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the
Durable Future," remarked, ""The world is up against real limits, limits
that will define our future. We're running out of oil and we're running
out of atmosphere, and those two alone will change the planet. Let's get
ahead of the curve for once."
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore declared, "I strongly
endorse 'The Real New Deal.' The Obama administration takes office at one
of the most critical moments in our history with a tremendous opportunity
and a grave responsibility to take appropriate action."
Debbie Cook, former Mayor of Huntington Beach, California and Post Carbon
Institute Board President said, "I endorse 'The Real New Deal' as the only
sane way to approach the twin challenges of fossil fuel depletion and
climate change. We need a systematic, coordinated effort and we don't have
any time to waste."
Other endorsers of "The Real New Deal" include Randy Udall (renowned
writer; director of Community Office for Resource Efficiency), Lester
Brown (founder of Earth Policy Institute and Worldwatch Institute), David
Orr (Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and
Politics at Oberlin College), and Pat Murphy (founder of The Community
Solution and author of Plan C).

Post Carbon Institute, based in Sebastopol, California, conducts research,
develops technical tools, educates the public, and informs leaders to help
communities around the world understand and respond to the challenges of
fossil fuel depletion and climate change.

Productivity systems like Getting Things Done (GTD) don't necessarily translate smoothly to a law practice. You need to be able to look at the "big picture" at a glance, not just your next task. After trying numerous things, I settled on a hybrid of GTD and a weekly paper work plan template.
Work planning is a weekly affair. I take Sunday night or Monday morning to sit down and type up my weekly work plan. The template has five days up top for Most Important Tasks (MITs) for each day, and below are a row for each case, broken up into columns for case, upcoming dates, do now, do later, and waiting for, the basic GTD action categories.
This work plan template serves as a case tickler as well as a catalog of important due dates and a holding cell for every task on every open file. For more information on how to use this template, see our post on the ultimate paper-based case management system.
You can download the work plan template in Word format:

Read some of our students' testimonials below.
Some of them have audio files so you can hear their progress!
Alicia Sanz
In only 4 sessions Alex has taken my English to the next level. He's so precise he will make you understand what you need to work on and why. Plus I've been having a lot of fun in our classes!
Gabi Spacciari
Alex's skills are very impressive; He sees and hears everything and is a perfectionist who pushes you to try your best with every sound. His method is very comprehensive though, and it's extremely easy to understand his corrections. I could trust him just from seeing the work he does on himself and his own voice and accents. His work has inspired me!
Christian Sanchez
I'm so glad I found someone like Alex. He's all anyone needs to perfect their language skills, not only grammar or vocabulary, but also melody, tune and I dare say he teaches you a way of living. He is a perfectionist, and never lets you get away with a mistake or incorrect sound. Alex has a knowledge of the vocal instrument as no one else, and it makes it easier to be aware of the… Read more "Christian Sanchez"
Tijan Njie
I started to work with Alex in February, although I'm not sure if the word "work" suits this case since Alex's way to deal with my accent had nothing to do with work at all. Every class was fun but serious at the same time. After each session, I noticed how productive we'd been. In these few months, I've learned so much about my accent and voice in general. Without any pressure or fear, I rather… Read more "Tijan Njie"
Clarissa Willis
Before working with Alex I wasn't so confident talking to people because of my Brazilian accent. Working with him allowed me to slow down my conversations and express myself clearly. I am very confident now talking on the phone with my clients and also having casual conversations. Alex is fun, patient and very reliable. I've grown a lot as a person in general by taking private lessons with him. It's amazing how our verbal communication… Read more "Clarissa Willis"
Bo Roberts
I have gone through speech therapy my entire life. I have also been teased about a speech impediment my entire life. No one could convince me to open up and really work on my voice until I met Amy. She creates a very inviting and encouraging environment. Working on a "downfall" is such a vulnerable time but with Amy, I was always eager to receive feedback from her. Model, Actor – United States
Lynn Grabowski
Alex listens to you insistently, showing you how to pronounce correctly and how to repeat slowly, word by word, supporting yourself with gestures and hand movements. I cannot imagine getting any better training than the one I get from Alex. The workshops are always fun and successful. Since the first hour we worked together, I feel like I learned a totally new language and I'm so much more into it. Thank you, Alex!
Aisha Zakailah
I have been living in the USA for about 19 years but unfortunately still have an accent. I have tried about 3-4 different accent coaches but didn't like anyone that I wanted to keep for long until I found Alex. After my first session with Alex I just knew he was the one who could help me through this and who I will keep for long. I hated my accent so much that I was… Read more "Aisha Zakailah"
Jesse Taylor
Amy is an Amazing Accent reduction Coach! I'm from Germany and she taught me how to do the "R" and the "L" sounds in one session. She has such a great ability to hear the sound you're making and uses amazing techniques to guide you in the right direction. In our first meeting, I was in preparation for an audition and she helped me out with the accent and gave me amazing acting coaching. Every… Read more "Jesse Taylor"
Ledicia Sola
Alex is the best! He is a great accent coach, his method is smart and super fast. You can really see the results from the first session. Also, he is always ready to help you. I'm so happy I found him!
Colman Hayes
I'm an actor and was looking for a way to improve my American Accent when I stumbled across 21 Accents.. It was the first time that I had encountered a way of teaching it that made it practical, and thus so much more enjoyable. I'm over 60% there, and just listening to the R one a few times because it's catching me a little, but I'm delighted with the course and couldn't recommend it more.
Anna-Lea Mende
Alex is such an amazing acting coach. The feedback for my auditions is always great and casting directors were always satisfied with my accent when we practiced for it. Also very valuable is his professionalism and his spontaneity. He often helped out very last minute which is crucial for LA's fast-paced industry. Thanks Alex!
Shikha Jain
I was talking to my husband today after practicing from our tapes, and he said that this is the best improvement in an accent he had ever heard from me!"
I've been working with Alex for a year and the change in my accent is beyond amazing. My training with Alex is different from any other accent reduction program out there. Alex as a coach is very patient and understanding with his students, which makes working with him a pure pleasure. He makes classes fun and easy to comprehend. I could notice improvement right after the first class I did with Alex! I haven't done… Read more "C.G"
Yohami Zerpa
I'm a singer from Venezuela learning the American accent. Alex does an amazing job at helping you isolate, identify, repeat and finally articulate and mix all the palette of sounds required to speak and sing like a native speaker – and he does so with a lot of patience, humor, and care. We first addressed how I sing and now we're working on my spoken accent. I'm very happy with the results and everyone I… Read more "Yohami Zerpa"
Pedro Sola
Alex has way surpassed my expectations. There are many coaches out there who can teach English, but there are very few who can take the task to the next level, very few who can teach you how to sound English and the vibe of it, because either they don't know how or they don't have the knack for it. As a Spanish native speaker, coming from a language where we have only five vowels, working… Read more "Pedro Sola"
Evgeniya Radilova
Alex and 21 Accents have changed the way I feel and think about accents. He has helped me find my own voice and get out of my head. Alex makes the process fun and helped me realize that this is just a muscle. And the more you practice the easier it gets. I have had many other dialect teachers before Alex, but they seemed to just blur my head or make it seem really difficult.… Read more "Evgeniya Radilova"
Mara Junot
Amy is a sheer delight to work with! Her 'amiable' nature and intuitive teaching style make working with dialects both an entertaining and natural experience. I look forward to training with her again and again in the future!
Ritu Arya
Sanee is a brilliant accent coach. He has a great ear for the details and subtleties in an accent and uses easy, accessible approaches for me to improve. I now have some very quick, useful ways of getting the correct placement for sounds. I feel more confident and aware of fluctuations in an accent. I actually felt myself improve more in two sessions with Sanee than weeks with other accent coaches."
Tanya Quenko
Just finished the 1st lesson for 21Accents' American Accent Training Course, and it's AMAZING! Those hand gestures that Amy does on the video to help with the sound placement work like a charm! I was able to recreate the correct sounds right away! I feel so good about it! Can't wait to finish the course and sound like an American! Yay! Thank you, Alex and Amy, for those videos. I was sure that the road… Read more "Tanya Quenko"
Steven Moity
Alex is one of the best accent coaches I've ever had. He is not only talented, smart and very helpful, he is also extremely patient and funny. He took the time to work through all the different sounds with me, would make me laugh if I got frustrated and never made me feel bad or unfit if I could not get the sound right at first. I think that is vital to a class like… Read more "Steven Moity"
Jeff Caponigro
Amy Walker is an extremely gifted coach/teacher, who has helped me tremendously as I prepare for acting roles that call for a special dialect. Her coaching/teaching style is precise, insightful, motivating and fun. I encourage all to consider using Amy when they have to be at the top of their game.
Pepe Gamez
For many years I've been making the same mistakes in my pronunciation, but in just a few classes Alex was able to make me realize what I need to work on and focus the most so I can improve, practice and correct myself during my daily life. After a few classes with him I've already started to see improvement and that makes me excited!
Alex Gonzalez
Since working with Alex, I'm much more aware of the mistakes I make, and while it's hard to correct them all the time during a performance, the good thing is that at least now I'm aware of them. And most of all I feel lucky having him as a teacher; I really appreciate how perfectionist he is and his sharp ear, as well as how flexible and fresh his techniques are. Thank you!!
I've been working with Alex for a month now, and I never thought it was possible to make this much progress in such a short amount of time. He's helped me hear the mistakes in my speech and taught me the correct way to pronounce them. I always thought I had "bad ears" because I never heard my mistakes before, but just after one session with Alex, I began to hear and correct my mistakes.… Read more "D. E."
Kris D.
I did a course and live training before taking private sessions with 21Accents, but when I met Alex, he taught me the American Accent on a whole new level I never saw or did before! Alex is great, and I'm looking forward to our next sessions until I can master my US English.
Alisa Gurova
From childhood, I've heard that you cannot change your accent if you weren't raised in an English-speaking country. I thought the same until I met Amy Walker. I started to work hard with her because she helped me see that everything is possible. And the best praise for this was was when an American Uber driver in asked me if I'm British! It was a big step, cause everyone heard my Russian accent before. Amy… Read more "Alisa Gurova"
Meena Rayann
Working with Sanee is an absolute pleasure. His technique is both fun and straightforward. He makes sounds make sense and everything becomes logical and easier! I highly recommend him!
Maribelle Antoinette
I had landed a role that required an upper class posh British accent. I was a bit insecure (because English isn't my first language) but working with Sanee, it honestly came out naturally. Not only did he teach me the correct form to speak in this accent, but he also gave me advice on the delivery of my lines. Sanee is honest, motivating, and a delight to work with. I truly recommend him and would… Read more "Maribelle Antoinette"
Patricia Ponce de Leon
Big "THANKS" to Alex is without a doubt the first thing to say when thinking about 21Accents. After working with three other accent coaches, it was Alex's method and persistence that made me trust the work and effort invested in every single session we had. Accepting that changing the muscle memory is a big challenge for me, I am happy to say that, not only thanks to his corrections and explanations but also to all… Read more "Patricia Ponce de Leon"
Daniele Favilli
Right after the first lesson, my director told me I had already improved. It was easy to work with Amy: she has the rare and beautiful quality of being a shining person, solar and with huge energy to give.
Lisa Sowden
Amy's approach to teaching is incredibly supportive and her techniques provide proven results FAST. Within a few short weeks not only was I able to hear a difference in my accent so was my voice over coach and agent. Learning in a group helps you hear the differences between your native accent and American, creating an environment to improve even faster. If you want to speak like a true blood American, Amy is the instructor… Read more "Lisa Sowden"
Alex Nagaystev
Alex is not a regular dialect coach, he is also a mentor that truly cares about his students and their progress. After more than a year of working with Alex, I have become confident in expressing my thoughts in Standard American English and engaging in serious conversations with native speakers. Accent is not only flawless pronunciation that helps in everyday life, or job environment, it is actually an expression of our true identity, which will… Read more "Alex Nagaystev"
Ling Fan
Alex is the best voice and speech coach because of his background in ESL, and also his experience as an actor and a singer. I really enjoy the way he uses gestures and tricks to make the more challenging sounds really easy for me to reproduce and understand. I never realized the enormous varieties of voice production while speaking different languages. I, as a native speaker of Chinese, speak mainly in the front part of… Read more "Ling Fan"
Pauline G.
I'm so glad I found 21 Accents and met Alex. Thanks to online training and coaching sessions, I can finally identify my mistakes and correct my pronunciation with incredible accuracy. I teach American students daily and it is imperative for me to improve my very "French touch" accent. I finally found people who know what they're talking about! Amy is an expert and Alex embodies all the possibilities that this method offers. All in great… Read more "Pauline G."

Have you ever found yourself faced with an unfamiliar familiar topic? You've been there before, you've had to deal with things like this before, yet this time its different? What do you do? Make the same choice you always made and walk away? Or stand your ground, hold firm to your words and see what happens?
What if the choice kills you either way? Sure with the first choice you may heal, you may move on, but what if you really don't want to and feel as though none will ever measure up in comparison? Do you still walk away?
What if you stay, hold onto what you want to believe is real and know may be false? How do you hold yourself together when your head and your heart are fighting? You've found the truth, you know whats going on, you know what may come out of, but you hope for something else. Do you still stay?
The head tells us the logic of things, it knows what we've seen, it knows what we've heard, it knows how to put things together and they don't add up right. Then slowly little more details fall into place and the suspicions become accurate, how can one stay after that? After finding out it all and still love?
The heart is how. The heart knows all the head tells it, but it sees more, it sees the soul. It holds a deep love that it wants to give only that one. But how much can a heart take? Can so much pain, so much heartbreak, so many lies actually kill it? They say no one has ever died from a broken heart, but have they? Can love in the heart surge up to the head and with the battle between the two it just suddenly quit?
So what do you do? Do you let this battle inside yourself rage on till either it just quits or something changes? Or do your force yourself to walk away and let the battle slowly die inside you? Is love really enough to hold you to someone? I know it can't hold you completely, there has to be trust, there has to be more than just love. But what if all the trust is lost? Or at least most of it, can love for someone still hold you to them?
I've always considered the most powerful weapon to be love. It gives us strength as well as weakness. It can make or break us. I sometimes envy those who are immune to love, they have nothing to hold them to anything. I've almost been there myself a few times, yet someone came along with a strong enough pull on my heart to open me wide once again. Love is such a dangerous thing, it brings with it a wide arrange of emotions, from being happy to complete sorrow.
Now I ask how can someone who has been hurt so many times, felt used so many times, fallen too hard a few times, and yet they still go on trying to love. Why? Is it a sick mentality for them, do they like the pain, does it give them something to feel? Or can they just not help being a hopeless romantic and believe that true love exists?
I've posted before how I felt on love, that I consider it to have different levels and I highly believe in that. But where do you go once you've reach that last level? How can you move on from having that? Do you think it could happen again? I don't, I think there is only that one chance for a love like that. Sure you can reach a certain level and stop there, I have no doubt in my mind about that. You just don't risk reaching a higher level and stay where you are, happy and safe. Why didn't I do that?
Back in 2007 I met this great guy, he pursued me for a few months, vanished when he couldn't have me, and came back. We started dating that December. He treated me amazing, would have given me the world if I asked for it and done whatever I wanted. Yet for me it wasn't enough, it didn't feel like enough, I felt I needed more. We lasted a few months till I ended it, to this day we don't really speak, I won't deny what I did to him and I do apologize for it. He honestly deserved better than me and I will never deny that. I just needed something else, I needed something right for me and he wasn't. If I had stuck with him though I don't doubt I could have had that level of happy and safe. I could be engaged or even married to him right now if we had stuck it out.
Now I've always been a firm believer of "things happen for a reason". What if all my past relationships fell apart because I was meant to find this one? A love that holds me so strongly to someone that the thought of letting go kills part of me. A love that took me by surprise more than anyone else. A love that even they didn't expect though they were the ones pursuing.
Back in 2008 before I stumbled back onto my VF account I thought I had found a real love. We lived so far apart but I felt it was great. I met him through RP, I had been shutting down my emotions trying to stop loving and caring, and honestly it was working, I was so close to being numb. Then I met him, he seemed weak and strong all the same. He was with someone that he told me treated him wrongly, and if it was true he didn't seem to deserve it. He pulled me back into the wild rush of emotions, he made me love again. I could say I wasted a good time of my life on him, but I learned a lot from it. We only dated about a month I believe, but he led me on more so after we ended. This man did nothing but completely lie to me about everything and I honestly don't know even to this day if his "love" for me was true, how can I? I can say I loved him, but then how do you love a lie? I won't go into detail what he did to me, but it pushed me to a point where I was ready to give up on everything and everyone. I pushed many people out of my life when he hurt me and I do honestly believe if it wasn't for two certain people in my life refusing to give up, I don't think I'd be alive today. Don't get me wrong, I've never been one for the easy way out, death is easy its living that's hard. I just didn't want to feel the pain anymore. It took sometime, but I was able to slowly heal. That's when I joined VF to escape the other places I was.
Love is hard, everyone knows this, love never comes easy. Online love is even harder and yes I am an e-dater. I've dated a really good share of guys online, in fact most of them I've dated or met online. Now don't think I can't get someone where I live, I can, its easy. I just prefer to find something more, a higher connection of a level with someone then people who live around where I do. And yes I could meet someone online and date a few towns over which I have done and it did not work. They say we all have that soul mate, the one we are meant to be with and its very rare that we all find it. Usually when it is found its due to those two people randomly meeting in a far away city on vacation, or just happening to break down in a small town and meet this love of your life. So who is to say that you can't find that someone online?
Back in 2006 I thought I had, I randomly found this guy on Myspace that fit everything I described I wanted in a guy when I was younger, right down to his looks. I thought this is the one, this is who I'm destined to be with and it will all work out. I was wrong, it lasted only a few weeks ending in a really lame reason. Took me months to move on fully, part of my heart will still always be his though, he was my first true love. If you are counting you would know I've loved truly 3 times. The third has ended recently and I can honestly say means more to me than any had in the past.
I could go into detail of why I'm not with this person right now, what went wrong, who is to blame if there is anyone, but its really no ones business of what happened. I'm not writing this to complain, to whine, to get sympathy, I'm just writing this to get it out. I do honestly love this man I believe I will do so till my dying day. I even at times think he will be the death of me for what hes put me through and for how I love him. Yes, I could forget him, I could move on, I could find someone else, thing is I don't want to. I really can't see how anyone will ever compare to the way I love him. How fair would that be for me to be with someone else if I can't love them like that? I don't think its fair at all and for all I know it could be the reason he isn't with me.
I do hope to have him back, I do believe we could work things out, I do know I need him in my life.
If you are reading this please do note I'm not asking for advice, not at all, I'm just curious to know what others think. I will ask for props only because I know the more props, the more this may be read and commented on.
Now that you have read this I'm sure you could be thinking what the hell is wrong with me. To answer you, a lot. I know how fucked up in the head I am, I know how stupid I seem to be holding onto something that is most likely so wrong for me to. I know how sick this whole situation has made me physically and emotionally. I don't care, I know who I am, I know what I want and who I want. The choice isn't mine, its fates, always has been and always be. This man came into my life randomly, he became my friend by choice, he became so much more to me unexpectedly. I never wanted to love him, when he tried I denied him. He was and is the type of guy I always said I'd never be involved with. Yet I fell in love with him, not by choice, by fate. Like I said I am a firm believer that things do happen for a reason. He is who I love for a reason. What that reason is I don't know. I do know there is so much that is complicated and needs to be sorted out and hopefully will be. I do know I want more of a chance with him. And as many have told me and he has himself, I know I deserve better. Thing is I don't care, I don't want better, I want him.
I've been thinking, I've been crying, I've been through tons of pain. I know what I should do, I know what I could do, I know what I want to do. I do not know what I will do yet, its not fully my choice, I do have an idea of how I will try. Well back to my thinking I suppose and thank you for those who do actually take time to read what someone writes.
Is it Enough?

Amazing UFO photo taken on 18th October 2013 in Dallas, Texas.
Witness said:
My son and I had just gotten outta the car and were heading inside. We have this habit of staring up into the sky at night sometimes because we've always been interested in the whole UFO thing. He saw it and said "Hey Mom, look at that." I looked up and just assumed it was a passenger plane, even though the two nearest airports are quite a ways away from where we are, we just sort of brushed it off and went inside. Even though I had never seen those many lights on an airplane before, we continued inside. It wasn't until Sunday when I got onto FaceBook and saw the posting that I flashed back to what we saw. I then realized that what we saw had absolutely no sound. If my son hadn't have noticed it ( the lights were quite bright ) we never would have seen it. And I realized that it was flying awfully low to be that far away from the nearest airport. If I had to measure the distance from the ground where it was I guess I would say it was about 15 stories high. It had been raining a couple of days prior to that and it was really cloudy. We could see the formation of lights ( that flashed a bit, then stopped ) thru the clouds as it flew along at a moderate speed. We only watched it for about 20 or 30 seconds. It quietly flew/glided directly over my apt complex and I can't believe no one else saw it. There was no wind that night. And I'm in the north part of Dallas and the pic was taken in Oak Cliff, which is in the south-ish. So it flew North to South. According to whomever posted the pic on FaceBook, it was taken a little before/after approximately 8pm. My son and I got out of our car around 8:10pm headed inside, so I'm guessing it was the same object. Since the clouds were blocking our complete view of it we never saw the actual structured craft. Only lights in a circular pattern.

In Phnom Penh, nestled in a street between the Royal Palace and Norodom Boulevard, a library—open to all—invites you to enter into a small world decorated with multicultural books.
In a country like Cambodia, which was deprived of books for so long, its goal is to share the pleasure of reading.
The founder has imagined this space as an "Open Book," where reading is a synonym of pleasure, and where children can feel secure and comfortable.
Open 7 days a week since 2002, Open Book received the status of local NGO in 2004.
Its many activities, including storytelling and drawings, are directed by volunteers from around the world working with a team of young Cambodians.
Open Book also has the goal of publishing quality books, mainly for children, in Cambodia.
Selling these books around the world and in Cambodia helps the NGO become financially sustainable.
Welcome to all, and happy reading!
