Unveiled: The Surprisingly Small Precursor of T. Rex
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/17/AR2009091702573.html?hpid=sec-nation

A fossil of an ancestor of T.Rex was discovered in mongol.
It's similar to T.rex, but it's size is as big as human's.
Most people who saw the fossil thought that it's child, but it's not so.

This fossil indicates an interesting thing. Until recently, It has been believed that the feature that their forelimbs are very short is caused by their enormous size. But this species has little forelimbs like T.Rex despite of their small size. The hypothesis is proven it's wrong.

Do You Speak Global Innovation?
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/do_you_speak_global_innovation.php

The ReadWriteWeb, one of the most famous social news site, is run by members in US, New Zealand and Berlin.

I don't think that it's strange that virtual companies which consist of members all over the world more increase.

I show how to make it blow:
1.Wash a chinese cabbage, and cut it one-quoter. Cut just a root part, you can split it easily. （白菜を1/4に切ります。根元に切れ目を入れるだけで、簡単に裂けます）
2.Dry it in a sun light.
3.Put it in a tupperware with some salt, some kelp and a bit of red peppers.
4.Press the tupperware under a stone to rid water in this pickle.
5. Hold it for a few days. (数日間そのままにおいておきます）

It's done. It's simple,isn't it?
(出来上がり。簡単でしょ？）

If you can get a chinese cabbage, Japanese popular vesetable, you should try making it.

Recently, I have listened to the music of Corinne Bailey Rae.
I didn't know this musician, but it is recommended by people who likes above musicians in a music review site, and I think I will like the music which he likes.
Actually,I came to like it. Next,I try to search another cool musician in a same way again.

And we will go to the Ikea which is a funiture and goods store.
We will buy a sleeping bag for my son there. It is difficult for him to sleep soon everyday. And my wife heard that a sleeping bag helps my son's sleeping. we want to try it.

And if we have a chance, we will go to eat a sushi.
Especially now, a sushi made of a pacific saury is very nice.
It is written in Japanese as "秋刀魚" means a Autumn sword shape fish. So It is delicious in this season.

Pacific saury is like this.

So now, we are going.

If I say that I wear a shirt,I say "I put a shirt on".
But the above is not in the order.

Why does the difference happen?

It is Hayaemon. It is a mp3 player which is suitable for listening a foreign language.
http://soft.edolfzoku.com/hayaemon2/

The software has three functions that are necessary to listen it.

First is a speed control. It can change the speed of a recorded speaking without altering the pitch. If the speaking is slow or fast for you,it is useful.

Next is A-B repeat. I use it to listen to a speaking and to do shadowing,repeat after speaking.

Last is a short rewinding function. When I meet a difficult word, I use it and listen to the word many times.

The software is Japanese version only. But it is not difficult for People except Japanese.
If you feel it interesting, I want you to try it.

But nowadays,I read a book.
「日本人の英語( English of Japanese people)」 Mark Petersen
http://tinyurl.com/4ydo4r

This book was written by an American has been in Japan. He noticed  mistakes that Japanese people often make in English, and he wrote how to use English.

For example,he said, it is unnatural idea that word has article. It is natural that article has word. Native speakers mind an article first, and they add a proper word. When they imagine something special ,they use "the".And in oppositional case, they use "a". After,they concrete it .

After I read it,I understood how to use article a little.
(But I may mistake above...)

The shape of Japanese facemark is different from international one.

For example, (Please see them horizontal)
(＾ー＾) smile
m(_ _)m I'm sorry.
(＾＾； cold swet. It nearly means embarassment or urge reader's excuse.
orz depress or regret with kneel down because of own action.This is popular in Japan.

They are very useful when I want to weaken my description.
ex.
Although I am very tired, I want to go shopping.（＾＾；
I have broken my car! orz

But I wonder what international facemark is fitting what situation.
If I wanto to express 「（＾＾；」 and 「orz」,what I use?

If you know,please tell me it!

My wife worked in Australia and UK. She is a good English speaker,but it is difficult for me to talk in English each other. Because my English is very poor,and my son is surprised at our English talk.
