planing walnut slabs this morning
Along with a truckload of beautiful organic oak slabs, these walnut slabs arrived yesterday. They've been air drying for just over two years and just came out of the kiln last week. I'm looking forward to getting them all planed this week and seeing just what we have.

Pono: Sophisticated Statement
I'm always on the search for statement pieces that look professional and sophisticated. That one piece that takes my white button-down from basic to beautiful. I didn't just find one piece, I found hundreds and they're all on one site: PONO. PONO has "cultivated a reputation for producing jewelry with an artistic, timeless sense of luxury, durability and originality".
I have plenty of those tiny chains that break and tangle. I've got millions of heavy, jeweled statement pieces. Like my wedding ring, I'm looking for jewelry that is as unique in it's materials as it is in it's meaning. "PONO is the Hawaiian word for righteousness in all it's forms: quality, morality; goodness; virtuousness; in perfect order. It also carries an implication of belonging within the realm of necessary and beneficial."
Meditating upon prototypes in her midtown-Manhattan office, dressed in the classically understated manner of certain fashion editors, Joan Goodman makes an instant impression: kind, engaged, passionate, jumping from topic to topic, as designers brimming with ideas often do. Goodman, the designer behind PONO, a New York City-based jewelry company, is just back from Italy, where she makes trips to design and produce her critically acclaimed and increasingly popular line.
Today, with hundreds of items to offer-rendered in materials as diverse as horn, wood, metal, shell and Italian resin, PONO is honored and delighted to offer women timeless pieces that remain eminently creative, colorful, conscious and collectible.
The versatility of my new matte black PONO necklace is incredible. I can wear it to dress up jeans and a t-shirt, layer it over chains for extra interest, dress up my basic white button-down or be the piece everyone is talking about, when I wear it with a sleek cocktail dress.
I'm not the only one talking about PONO. They've been seen in InStyle, Glamour and Real Simple Magazines, featured on Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Take a look closer to these incredible pieces at PONO by Joan Goodman.

Works in Lichfield Staffordshire making individual thrown and hand built pieces in stoneware or porcelain reduction fired to cone 10 establishing his current workshop in 1981. A career of making and teaching Andrew works full time as a potter in his city centre location and exhibits work throughout the UK. The work on show is a range of thrown porcelain pieces in blue and white with cobalt slip decoration applied by a variety techniques, sponging, slip trailing, masking , brushes, decals and even fingers! Mostly applied at the green stage as a form of underglaze decoration. Varying percentages of cobalt and other oxides produce a range of tones/ shades. Further work on the decoration during the glazing stage helps to extend the shades of blue including the addition of an orange spot. I have been exploring this idea since the late 1990's and is influenced by oriental blue white ware. All work is high fired to cone 10 reduction.

She's got a wonderful site about the gems of family life in the ordinary and the not so ordinary moments. Several years ago when I was Director of Family Life Ministry in my parish I had a column where I wrote about the ordinary holiness of family life---- from changing diapers, helping with homework, getting ready for a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas meal and all the millions of moments that go into making a house a home and a group of people a family. Check out Elaine's Blog: ScratchPaper: Family Gems.

Germ control is not just something you should do when your parent is at home.
Whenever your aging parent leaves the house, whether it is to run an errand or go visit a friend, they are exposing themselves to a wide variety of germs that can make them vulnerable to illness and infection. Being prepared to combat these germs helps to keep your senior healthier, and avoid the potentially serious complications that can result from illnesses such as the flu or pneumonia. Packing a germ-fighting kit for when you are out with your loved one helps you to deal with potentially germ-ridden situations so your senior can avoid infection, and stay healthy.
Some of the items you may want to include in your germ-fighting kit for went out with your senior include:
-Tissues to cover coughs and sneezes, protect your hands from surfaces, and offer to others to prevent the spread of germs
-Wet wipes for their hands in case they get them dirty and cannot wash them with water and soap
-Disinfecting wipes for hard surfaces such as grocery cart handles
-Waterless hand sanitizing gel
-Disposable gloves for when you must come into contact with potentially germy surfaces, or provide physical assistance
-Plastic bags for disposal of tissues and other items until you can find a trash can
-Debit or credit card so you can avoid using cash as much as possible. This helps reduce transmission of gems from cashiers to you
-Water, which allows you to stay properly hydrated to support a strong, supportive immune system
Getting out into the world around them and interacting with others can be an important part of keeping your parent as healthy as possible as they age.
If you are a family caregiver who also cares for children, are managing a career, or live at a distance from your parents, this can be difficult to integrate into your schedule. This is where home care can be extremely beneficial.
An in-home senior care services provider can provide transportation for your loved one that allows them to run their own errands, participate in activities and recreation, and otherwise get out into the community more often. They can also plan activities and outings with your senior that stimulates their mind and promotes more physical activity. This can not only support a sense of independence and autonomy, but also boost mental, emotional, and physical health and well-being as they age in place.

china will use the probe to send back 30 pieces of chinese music to earth. recommendations for what 30 pieces of music will be used are being solicited from the general public. the us$170 million chinese lunar probe program is expected to launch a probe next year. the lunar probe is part of a larger chinese program to land a man on the moon.
read more from the xinhua article.
brian's opinion
a chinese space program is a source of pride for the country of china. still, it should be no surprise that china would promote its culture through the broadcast of music even from a lunar probe. taking recommendations for what music to play from the general public is great pr for the nation, considering many countries believe that the chinese general public doesn't have much power within the chinese government.
the united states should actually be thanking china for helping to renew interest in a lunar program. it's a little sad that it takes competition from another country for the u.s. to get behind an ambitious space program that involves returning to the moon. the lack of competition in space is one of the reasons that the u.s. has been complacent in pushing the envelope when it comes to space exploration.
i look forward to seeing the u.s. return to the moon and to china visiting the moon for the first time. maybe lunar colonies that were predicted to exist on the moon by now may actually become a reality one day. an international space station is good, but it should only be looked at as a stepping stone to an international lunar station, which may one day become the gateway to exploration of our solar system and beyond.

are you out of your mind? us is falling down the scale. us manned space program level is slightly above chinese and falling. russia is on the distant first place, china is going up with usa falling.
|re: rogers (1:40pm est mon jul 10 2006)
right on � if we wanted to go back to the moon anytime soon, it would be on top a russian rocket because they are the only country in the world with a heavy lift capability. we should have stuck with the saturn v family and scaled it to meet our future needs like the plans called for. by now the saturn boaster would be a fly-back vehicle for greater cost effectiveness.
the chinese space program is little more than a meaningless pr stunt for its thoroughly corrupt and murderous commie government. it�s disgusting how they can brutalize and murder their poor peasants without the international community lifting a finger to protest. the west was wrong to open up trade with china until these commie bastards had ceded control. the people need a legitimate judiciary � not the mafia run joke of a court system they have now. and they will never get it with the commies in power.

this site is building a solid case against the human rights policy of the red chinese government. they claim the commies are murdering falun gong practitioners by the thousands for strictly political reasons. death results from their organs being harvested while they�re still alive.
|china (6:59am est tue jul 11 2006)
i live with a bunch of chinese people and they all spit in the kitchen sink, while they are cooking and so on. its gross. for this reason we must take up arms and stop them red midget sun worshipers from grabing at our red white and blue moon. – by gaijin

***meaningless sht out from your mouth***
i don�t see you deny the charges that the chinese government is performing an act of genocide. they are murdering the falun gong simply because the falun gong have political power due to their numbers. the chinese commie government is proving once again that it will do anything to maintain its grip on power including murdering it�s own people. these crimes against humanity must be stopped and the world community should be boycotting chinese trade until it does.

Chic Fourth of July Looks
You don't have to buy an outfit specifically for the Fourth of July, you can buy separates and/or pull together pieces that you already have into a red, white and blue color scheme. You don't need to buy something you'll only wear once, instead you can buy cute separates that you'll want to continue wearing well after the fireworks are over. For instance, you could pair a white lace romper with red and blue accessories or white denim shorts with a navy top and red shoes and red tassel earrings. There are endless combinations of how you could mix and match separates in a patriotic color scheme! Top off your look with a stars clutch for maximum patriotic points. Here are a few chic yet festive Fourth of July looks using separates to create a chic yet festive look. Happy Birthday America!

The Use Case
Some use cases call for the table you are querying from to be dynamic, based on what the user selects on the front end. For example, let's say you have multiple schemas that are identical in structure. This is often encountered when working with GA Premium data, where one can see tables such as
myproject:00003.ga_sessions_. The
00003 prefixes could represent data for different countries, traffic sources, etc.
Using a
parameter that we plug in to the the
sql_table_name of our view, we can create a filter on our Looks and dashboards that let users select the table they will query from (i.e., country) — with a user-friendly name!
The Code
This is how we will define our parameter and apply it to our
sql_table_name parameter:
view: countries {
sql_table_name: {% parameter tablename %};;
parameter: tablename {
type: unquoted
allowed_value: {
label: "UK"
value: "00001.ga_sessions"
allowed_value: {
label: "Germany"
value: "00002.ga_sessions"
Referencing Derived Tables
We can use a similar approach to dynamically reference derived tables in our
sql_table_name parameter. Since we use the syntax
${view_name.SQL_TABLE_NAME} to reference derived tables in sql parameters, we will need to use slightly different Liquid syntax:
view: my_view {
{% if tablename._parameter_value == 'derived table name' %}
{% elsif tablename._parameter_value == 'another table' %}
-- Add as many of these elsif clauses as you want, one for each parameter option.
{ % else % }
{ % endif % } ;;
parameter: tablename {
type: unquoted
allowed_value: {
label: "derived table"
value: "derived table name"
allowed_value: {
label: "another table"
value: "schema.table_name"
# add as many allowed_values as you have tables
Here we are using the Liquid variable
_parameter_value, which allows us to reference the selected value of a parameter and ensures the passing of special characters like brackets. This is necessary for referencing PDTs with the
${view_name.SQL_TABLE_NAME} syntax, while normal, non-derived tables will use the schema.table_name format.

What is your real name? I hate being called wife, without a name. I think you do too.
How do you feel with a mouth full of salt instead of the languid, tamarind language of your city? The city that sings to you and you the only one who hears her.
What does she sound like? Soprano or alto? Silk or broken windows? Do the cries of the market slide down her throat like tamarind or salt?
Does the gutter water taste like gutter or peppermint schnapps?
I think I could live married to my city as the queen or live lost and alone with no one but my city to comfort me.
When you died, when your city died, you were looking at each other.
What was that like?

text: Some days a particular colour will dominate the journey and today it was yellow. Texans like to clad buildings with yellow aluminum siding – why? I'm unsure. Travelling through the scrublands of west Texas, where the ranches are vast, the cattle are plentiful and the roads are virtually empty. And when you do see a vehicle, chances are it's a pickup truck. That's the second rest stop structure that I've photographed – hoping there are more to come. It would be nice if that same species of tree was next to them all.

Honey Oatmeal Pomegranate Cookies
If you're a regular to this blog, you probably have noticed that I post to the blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
But today is Tuesday. And I'm posting to the blog today. And I'll tell you why. It's because Rosh Hashanah, the holiday celebrating the beginning of the Jewish year, starts tomorrow night. And if I posted this recipe tomorrow, it would be too close to the holiday and you might not have seen the recipe in time to make it for Rosh Hashanah. So I'm posting it today. Now.
Now you know.
A honey cookie/cake is a classic for Rosh Hashanah. So are desserts with apples in 'em. I posted honey apple muffins last week. Which covered both the honey and the apple aspects.
But today we're dealing with another Rosh Hashanah fruit: pomegranates. But also honey, again. Because I'm of the opinion that one can never have too many honey cookies.
I decided to put a twist on the classic honey cookie by adding in oats for an earthy, hearty kick, and pomegranate seeds, for a unique, juicy, tart kick. But really, if I'm being totally honest, I mainly just added the pomegranate seeds because they work so well for Rosh Hashanah, and not so much for the added flavor or crunch.
You cannot deny, however, that the pomegranate seeds also work to beautify the cookies quite nicely. This, you cannot deny.
Did I mention that these honey oatmeal pomegranate cookies are dairy free? Because they are.
Meaning this is a no-butter cookie recipe. Meaning these cookies contain coconut oil in place of butter. And coconut oil makes the cookies so soft and rich. And also easier to make, because since the coconut oil is melted, you don't have to get your electric mixture out to start creaming things.
All you'll need is a bowl and a spatula and a serviceable bicep. Feasible?
If you like honey cookies AND you like oatmeal cookies AND you also like pomegranate seeds, well. You're in for a treat.
A soft, gooey, rich, treat. A treat that's spiced with warm fall spices like cinnamon and ginger and nutmeg. A treat that takes minutes to whip up and a few minutes more to bake. A treat that'll stay soft for weeeeeeeks.
Oh, also, it's a treat that can make you and the people you share it with very, very happy. Just saying.
So, I'm gonna sign off here. But before I go. To those of you that celebrate the holiday, have a very wonderful Rosh Hashanah. And to those that don't, have a very wonderful time making and baking and eating these honey oatmeal pomegranate cookies. Because you don't need a special holiday or excuse to make these cookies.
Nope, no excuses necessary for making these soft, gooey, rich, earthy, hearty, spiced, easy, quick, dairy-free, unique honey oatmeal pomegranate cookies.
Honey Oatmeal Pomegranate Cookies
Yield: about 22 cookies
1/2 cup melted coconut oil*
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey
1 1/4 cups packed flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
3/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt coconut oil. Add to a large bowl and stir with the sugar. Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
Pour flour, oats, baking soda, and spices over wet ingredients and mix everything together until just combined.
Round medium pieces of dough between palms, forming balls, and space evenly onto baking sheet. Press a handful of pomegranate seeds onto the top of each cookie.
Place baking sheet into fridge until the dough is slightly hardened, about 20-40 minutes. (You can skip the chilling, but your cookies will be a bit flatter.)
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are beginning to get golden. Let cookies sit and firm up on sheets for a few minutes before moving them.
*Note: use refined coconut oil if you don't want any coconut flavor in your cookies.

Eaton Corporation's profits more than doubled in the third quarter this year compared to the same period last year, primarily due to positive cash flow generated by its truck component manufacturing business. Eaton said its total sales in the third quarter topped $1.8 billion, 5% higher than in the same period last year, while generating net income of $90 million, compared to $47 million in the same quarter of 2001. Eaton's truck component segment posted sales of $322 million in the third quarter, a 27% increase over the same period last year, and recorded profits of $45 million, compared to just breaking even in 2001. Chairman & CEO Alexander Cutler said North American heavy-duty truck production was up 67% and medium-duty truck production rose 11%, while European truck production declined 7% and South American production decreased 4%. "For the full year, we now expect production of heavy-duty trucks in NAFTA to total 174,000 units," said Cutler. "However, the modest recovery we had anticipated in our end markets beginning in the fourth quarter appears to be delayed somewhat due to the slow and uneven pace of the economic recovery."

Raising a child is challenging enough even when both parents are living under the same roof. But parents who are not married, or those who are living separately, have to work even harder to set up rules and expectations that are acceptable to both parents and favorable for your son or daughter.
All of the decisions that unmarried and divorced parents will make about their child's future will be affected by the custody arrangements you establish in writing. Until your child's eighteenth birthday, it's the responsibility of the parents to settle on a parenting plan and adhere to it.
The Elements Of A Parenting Plan
Because this agreement will affect your life and your child's life for years to come, it's important to get the terms right with the help of an experienced family law attorney like myself - I've been helping couples in the Grand Forks area write parenting plans for more than 20 years.
The more detailed your custody plan, the better. Among other issues, a custody plan can establish rules for:
- Primary residential responsibility, or physical custody: This determines with which parent your child will live most of the time, and on what schedule.
- Parenting time, or visitation: Parenting time or visitation allows the parent who does not have primary residential responsibility/physical custody to maintain a relationship with the child.
- Decision-making responsibility or legal custody: Raising a child is about more than making sure she's dressed and fed. One or both parents must decide where the child lives and attends school; make major decisions about the child's medical care, education, and religion; and make routine day to day decisions about the child's care.
- Child support: Depending on each parent's income and child-rearing responsibilities, one parent can be required to pay child support to the other parent in order to provide for the child.
How Can I Help You?
If you and your child's parent need legal support to resolve a disagreement, the best place to start is by talking to a lawyer. To schedule an initial consultation, contact Barron Law Firm online or call me at 701-732-0628.

Fall has been in full swing here in Korea and it's perfect time to view the fall foliage (단풍). I've not been out nearly as much as I'd like, especially after a summer filled with hiking. Around the time I was thinking of a hike I got a call from my older friend, Kyeong Han, who I hike with every so often. He's been busy working at his company and I've been busy with school. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so he asked if I wanted to hike. We set a date and met. When I met him early morning on Sunday, he wasn't alone. He brought his wife along. I met her a while back and was pleasantly surprised to see her join. They're both in their late fifties, but she's just as sprightly as him. She led the way the entire time, moving at a casually fast and consistent pace even during the long steep sections. We hiked in the Bukhansan National Park, a sprawling area north of the city and home to a few of the tallest mountains in Seoul. Kyeong Han mentioned to me we'd visit a temple. He said in broken English "I know you write and take photos. We'll go to a temple so you can write" He remembered my blog from the one time I showed him over dinner. He looked through at the places we'd visited together and said "very good, very good!". Along the way we talked, followed by periods of silence. It'd been a while for me since I've been in the forest and away from the business of daily life, so I was simply enjoying the space and quiet.
We stopped here for a while and ate some apples and store bought hoddeok along with water, overlooking the nearby peaks.
A mountain peak just above us. The name of which I can't remember. I'll have to ask my friend again. If you looked long enough, you could see people scrambling up along the ride.
Our hike was more of a long walk. I didn't have proper shoes for anything too demanding and they were planning something closer to long walk than tackling anything too steep. On the way down we ate lunch together and afterwards meandered our way back to the train station, passing through the Buam Dong village, somewhat of a younger cousin to Bukchon..much smaller and lesser known, it's home to many traditional style hanok homes, cafes and art galleries. After passing through this quiet area, we walked through a park to an area of land my older friend owns, which was once a home for the nobles. Now, the foundations can be seen as well as the empty hole of an old pond. On our way there, we passed a temple, again whose name I forgot. It's near the base of Bugaksan and sits above a small waterfall.
Fall colors
At the old noble compound grounds, now a public park. A group of middle aged korean women and men were playing guitar and singing traditional Korean songs, while a few women danced to the songs. My friend and his wife knew all the songs well, having grown up in the 60s and 70s. I've been told, by him and his wife, that Kyeong Han sings well. I've yet to hear, but he promised me he'll sing for me someday.
Maple tree, a symbol of fall in Korea and Vermont
Kyeong Han (Samchon = Uncle) walking ahead
The old pond. A couple is sitting across the way, in front of the group of singers. It's also a great season for dating in Seoul, not that anytime isn't in this city, but it's still rare to see younger couples going outside of the city perimeters to the hills for quiet time. Most of the time I hike it's mostly me and packs and packs of older korean men and women.
Samchon (Uncle) found some nuts had fallen from a tree. His wife was calling asking where he went, as he scurried around underneath the trees, excitedly like a kid. He reminds me of an older version of one of my best friends back home. Spending time with him is always a reminder that just because we add years onto our lives does not mean we must leave behind our youthfulness and joy.

Have you ever had grass fed beef or heritage breed pork? Although we are pretty big carnivores in my house, I'd never indulged in these goodies until last week when my Butcher Box arrived in the mail.
Disclosure: I received a free Butcher Box in exchange for my honest review.
In my quest to make all the things easier in my life, I tried out a Butcher Box. Because November is always crazy busy and the thought of having delicious groceries show up at my door sounded wonderful! So the nice folks at Butcher Box agreed to help me out.
Our box arrived well packed and protected. The meat was vacuum sealed and hard as a rock with 11 pounds of dry ice to keep everything frozen.
Here I am unboxing my Butcher Box.
Butcher Box is a subscription service that delivers amazing, humanely raised grass-fed beef, heritage breed pork and organic pastured chicken right to your doorstep. You can also get other meat-lovers' delights like steaks, bacon and breakfast sausage.
My ButcherBox arrived with the following contents:
- Grass-fed ground beef
- Sirloin tips
- Pork chops
- Uncured sugar-free bacon
- Boneless chicken thighs
- Thin-sliced beef
Each ButcherBox also contains recipes by gourmet chefs to help you enjoy your meat.
So far, we've enjoyed the pork chops (SO delicious!), the thin-sliced beef (slow cooker broccoli beef – yum!) and the bacon (divine). The ground beef is on the menu for this weekend.
How did our ButcherBox taste?
Fantastic! The pork chops were incredibly juicy, the bacon was decadent, and the beef melted in your mouth. All in all, it was delicious.
Is a ButcherBox enough for an entire month?
A box contains about 10 pounds of meat. For my family of meat-eaters, this is sadly definitely not enough, but with some ground turkey and a couple more packages of chicken, we will be good to go. If you eat less meat, this may be just right for your family.
Is a ButcherBox subscription worth it?
The prices on a ButcherBox are definitely better than my local store prices for high-quality meat. If you're eating out at restaurants a lot, a ButcherBox wins hands down. And don't forget the free shipping and the convenience factor.
Were there any downsides?
Not really. I would have liked to see more recipes in the box. I had to do a little searching to decide what to do with the thin sliced beef. But it's easy enough to find recipes, so that wasn't a problem.
The ButcherBox meat is more expensive than what I usually purchase, but that's because I don't typically buy such high-quality meat. I think it was actually quite reasonably priced for its value. And there's something to be said for eating higher quality foods in smaller quantities.
ButcherBox coupons and discounts
ButcherBox has kindly offered a discount to Early Bird Mom readers!
Click here to use my affiliate link. You'll save $20 on your first box PLUS you'll get free bacon!

English Grammar Exercise Tips
The following simple English grammar tips and tricks will help you to learn and memorize English grammar rules and speak correctly. If you are on this site for English grammar practice, these tips will really help you. Let's start.
Invest your time in learning
It surely takes some time to learn English. There is no shortcut way to learn it. Some websites may say that they will teach you English in seven days or one month. These are false offers. Invest some time in learning and practicing. Your English skills will surely improve.
Speak, speak, and speak!
Try to speak English the same way you write it. Do not worry about grammatical mistakes. The more you practice, the less mistakes you will make and the more fluent you will be. So, practice daily and do not be afraid of grammatical errors.
Slow down your speaking speed
Your confidence will go down if you try to speak fluently from the very beginning. Give yourself some time. Start with slow speaking speed and increase your speed over time as you make more progress day by day. Slowing down speaking speed has another benefit — you will get enough time to make sentences in your mind before you speak.
The more you practice speaking, the more confident you will be.
Use Mobile apps
Luckily, there are many English learning apps available. Some are free and some are paid apps. If you are a smartphone user, you should install some of these apps in your mobile phone. You can at least install one app and start practicing. A mobile app is a very handy and useful thing to learn at your convenient time. You can start with free apps.
Install and use a dictionary app in your mobile
There are several free dictionary apps that will help you to learn proper pronunciation and new words. It is highly possible that your smartphone already has a dictionary installed. Use it or install a better one.
Try to get a good bilingual dictionary for better understanding. Besides using a mobile app, you can buy and use a good bilingual dictionary. A good bilingual dictionary is always a good investment for personal improvement.
Learn English idioms and phrasal verbs
Idioms and phrasal verbs are very common in everyday English conversation. If you do not know them, you may fail to understand the correct meaning of what the other person is saying. So, do not ignore them. Try to learn the most common English idioms and phrasal verbs.
Listen to news bulletins
Almost every radio and television channel broadcasts news bulletins. If you have a smartphone, radio or television, you can listen to these English news bulletins. Besides learning the correct pronunciation, you can learn correct English. Listening to these bulletins will also improve your fluency. This is a common technique used by English learners.
Read out loud
How does your English sound? The pronunciation style of some people is very bad. But there is a simple and easy way to fix improve pronunciation. Take a newspaper or any other script written in English and read out loud. This way you can hear and test your own pronunciation. If you are not happy with your own pronunciation, keep practicing and your English pronunciation will surely improve.
Learn new words daily
The more words you learn, the better you can understand English and express yourself. You may be surprised to know that learning only the basic words can help you to speak English that is used in communication everyday.
Learn sentences
Besides learning common words, try learning common sentences used in everyday English communication. This will give you a huge boost in your learning efforts.
Write every day
When you write, do not be shy of your mistakes. Try to write at least a few paragraphs, ideally at least one page. It is a great practice to use your newly learned words and practice grammar. This will also improve your writing skills.
Watch English movies
These movies will help you to learn proper pronunciation and improve your understanding of English. When you see how native English speakers speak English, your mind will automatically start copying the style. You can try to speak like them at home to understand the quality of your pronunciation and fluency.
Language swap
There are several websites where you can find people who are native English speakers and want to help your learn English if you teach them your language. This is free and can be a great way to learn from native speakers. Many learners are using this method and you should give a try.
Go to a mentor
A mentor can help you to guide in the right direction. She can measure your progress and suggest whatever you need to improve. You can regularly discuss about your improvement and weakness with your mentor. Oftentimes, she can help you. Your mentor can be someone who is good at English. She can be your school / college / university teacher, your friend or any person good at English.
Try to correct your mistakes
It is common to make mistakes. Every time you make a mistake, write it in a separate piece of paper. Make a list of mistakes. Check your mistakes from time to time and try not to make these mistakes again when you practice. These mistakes are clear and good indications of your weakness in English.
Give yourself time to think
Whenever you make a mistake, you should think how you can avoid this mistake from next time. Take time and assess your progress and weakness.
Be an advance learner
Try to learn advance English grammatical rules and vocabulary. Never be happy with your progress. The more you learn and practice, the better English skills you achieve.
Start with "Tense"
There are mainly three types of tense - past, present and future. Usually, verbs indicate the correct form of each tense. Besides learning tense, you should memorize some verbs too. Do not worry. It is interesting and easy to learn the necessary verbs.
Learn common pronoun usage
Do you know the difference between the common subject pronouns and object pronouns such as I/me, we/us, he/him, she/her, they/them?
We use subject pronouns such as I, we, he she, they when the subject is doing an action. Usually, we use subject pronouns at the beginning of a sentence. Example: I cannot remember the story.
But we do not start a sentence with object pronouns such as me, us, him, her, them. Example: Call him.
Active voice and passive voice
Many English learning students get confused here. In active voice, the subject performs an action. In passive voice, the subject and the object of a sentence swap to form the correct sentence.
Incorrect: The cinema was gone to by me.
Correct: The cinema was enjoyed by me.
A preposition defines the relationship between an object and its surroundings. Without the proper use of prepositions, your English will sound weird. Luckily, there are only a handful of prepositions and these are easy to learn.

Justus' last Little Tykes class
This morning was Justus' last class at the rec center. We used birthday money from Uncle Brian and Aunt Lauren, and it has been so much fun for him!!! We are not enrolling him in the "winter" class, b/c I'll be having a baby:) haha In this class, Ms. Stacey taught them basketball and soccer, and she even once attempted to have them jump rope. (We're not quite sure what she was thinking...the kids are 2-4 years old.) She was a great teacher, Justus absolutely loved going, and he is going to miss it! He told me he was sad that today was his last class. These pictures are not the greatest. The lighting is so weird in gyms, but I tried to pick out the best ones. I'll put all of them on dotphoto, so you can scan through those whenever I finish up the Oct-Dec album there.
There are normally about 10 kids in the class, so I have no idea why there were only 4 today.
I think Justus' favorite part of class is getting his hand stamped at the end. The kids put their hands on top of their heads, and they get a smiley face or star stamp. Justus talks about this in the car on the way to class, anticipating which one he will get that day:) He lets the stamp dry for about 15 minutes after he comes out of class, holding his hand out away from everything so as not to smudge it, haha!! Then, whenever he washes his hands the rest of the day, he does it oh-so-carefully to make sure he doesn't wash it off.

50 Cent Is Coming To Late Night's With '50 Central'
BET just had their upfront presentation last week, which is TV-talk for showing off their next slate of programming for the new year. In a not-so-surprising move, one of those shows announced finds a Queens legend joining the ranks of Stephen Colbert + Trevor Noah. 50 Cent will be the host of his own 30-minute, late night variety show titled, 50 Central, which will run for 24 episodes.
For those familiar with 50's humorous side (Curly Jackson, etc.) — the G-Unit head honcho plans on having hidden camera pranks, comedy sketches, musical performances and celebrity guests on the show. Produced by his own G-Unit Film & Television, in collaboration with Back Roads Entertainment, 50 Central is already getting responses from the Twitterverse.
"You're gonna love this," 50 said. "You know I get the green light. #IGETTHEBAG."
Along with 50's new show, BET has also confirmed that hit VH1 shows, The Breaks + Hit The Floor will move over to BET. New shows produced by Kevin Hart (Divorce Saved My Marriage), Steve Harvey (Mancave), Wanda Sykes (Face Value) and Chris Rock (The Rundown with Robin Thede).
Debra Lee, BET's chief executive officer, spoke on how these moves will take the #BlackStarPower channel to new levels.

Fire and Nice!?/
Charles Polansky reports on the Amy Sabbatini's latest t-shirt...not nearly as fun as her last.
There is a definite give-and-take, yin and yang, in Rory Sabbatini's life - on and off the golf course.Amy or Rory? Or sorry...
Take the T-shirts that his wife Amy has designed for his large gallery of friends and family planning to be at this week's Bank of America Colonial. They are appropriately appropriate.
Emblazoned on the front is a phrase that suits Sabbatini perfectly _"Fire and Nice."
Everybody who follows golf knows all about Sabbatini's fire.
At last summer's Booz Allen Classic, Sabbatini infamously played out of turn on the 17th hole after growing frustrated with the slow pace of playing partner Ben Crane.
He finished the hole before Crane and walked ahead to the 18th tee, drawing boos from the gallery at Congressional Country Club as well as the ire of ABC golf analyst Paul Azinger, who skewered Sabbatini on the telecast.
"The first four weeks after were horrific," said Amy, who tries to walk as many rounds with her husband as possible. "It got to where I was putting on headphones to block everything out."
But there's another side to Sabbatini, a blossoming PGA Tour star from South Africa, that many haven't seen. Last year, he wore camouflage pants in the first round of events and donated $250 for every birdie and $1,000 for every eagle that he made to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
"His heart's bigger than his chest," Amy said during Sabbatini's second round at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

Giving back to our communities and finding new and innovative ways to do so is a source of pride and motivation for us. It's a part of our identity.
As a company, we work hard to help strengthen local communities around where we live and work in a positive, impactful and relevant way. It's a collaborative effort and one that all of our employees can, and do, contribute to.
Our leadership as a socially responsible company is showcased through the community investments we make and the hands-on employee volunteering we do, with a particular emphasis on health, wellness and education.

Volunteering and fundraising are actively encouraged at Teva, and our employees' passion and enthusiasm are evident.
Teva employees have raised money for a range of charitable causes, including Macmillan coffee mornings, Christmas Jumper Day, Text Santa, toys for the Salvation Army and money for the "Wear it- Beat it" British Heart Foundation campaign.

We operate a payroll giving scheme through Workplace Giving UK which enables our employees to donate money every single month to their chosen charities through their salary.

Feist disappeared for quite awhile, and who could blame her? The Metals (2011) album cycle was particularly lengthy, prolonged by a substantial international tour and a Polaris Prize win the following year. The album absolutely deserved its victory lap, but it was a long time to be front and centre.
I'm glad Feist disappeared for awhile. Unlike so many artists today, I think she intuitively understands the importance of disappearing for awhile. It's important for two reasons. First, it is possible for people to get tired of you. The longer your absence, the more genuine anticipation precedes your next release. Second, it allows for the down time, for the unplugging, that is needed to reflect and create. Art arises not only from political circumstances but also from one's own inner life, and that means life needs seasons other than those afforded by the grinding tour-record-tour cycle.
Unlike the stomping feet and arresting gang vocals on Metals, Feist's songs on this album often feel like they bubble up and take a minute or two to hit their stride. There's a patient, sunbeam quality to this record, sort of like Wilco's The Whole Love. Although Feist titled it Pleasure, she's calling to mind not a crazy party kind of pleasure, but something warm, sustained, comfortable, and inquisitive.
There's also a sparseness to the instrumentation that showcases surprisingly versatile songwriting style throughout. Guitars stab, keyboards swell, but underneath are Feist's one-of-a-kind vocals and a humble acoustic guitar, anchoring everything.
I was fortunate enough to see Feist perform this album front to back just six or seven weeks after its release. It was a sweltering afternoon at Eaux Claires Music Festival, and not everyone around me was into it right away. But Feist has a tremendous ability to captivate an audience, and soon won everyone over with her amazing voice and clever banter. The simple two-piece band backing her up was scrappy and tight, and her guitar work was fearless (she's a very underrated lead guitarist).
While a second oblique, experimental album might make some listeners long all the more for a return to the pop version of Feist, I think her last two albums are far more interesting and rewarding.
Pleasure is proof that she still has new highways to travel down, and new songwriting approaches to explore. "When they cart me away, will they say that I died already years ago?" she sings on "Young Up," the album's final track. The answer to that is clearer than ever: not a chance.
