No Name, Colorado
In a cold January, I took the full month travelling and hiking course to the Southern and Western part of the United States, it was quite a wonderful trip .
After so many years,I planned to upload my journals, as they were written in an exercise book, it will take time to do this project.
With the snowing, I remember clearly one evening, we passed by No Name, it was a small community but the name was very interesting and it attracted my attention. That's true, in addition to the Grand Canyon, Archstone monumen, the beautiful national parks, Casions of Las Vegas, Death Valley,........and also.I can still remember this tiny place - No Name !!
Source : Wiki..
When the state Department of Transportation was improving signage for the enhanced Interstate 70 Some one noticed that the little community had no name and simply put No Name on the sign for this exit. After a while locals got used to saying "I live in No Name." When a higher level bureaucrat arbitrarily assigned a proper name the local people rebelled and forced a change back to NO NAME.

Tax Loopholes
After few months ' adjustment in Berea, I finished the first semester's course work and successfully got all A's for my credits, then, I entered into the first short term course in January (our system is 4-1-4).
Under the advise from my supervisor, I took an accounting course, "Business Taxation".
In the four weeks time, I needed to attend only one class each morning, read a book of my choice and made a report at the end of January. As told by my roommate, it was quite easy.
When I went to the library, I really didn't know how to choose my book in the book shelves, as a result, I went to see the professor and told her my difficulty ( it is always good to talk with people, don't close oneself, otherwise people do not know how to help).
Dr. Pat knew me as she was my supervisor, and she knew that I was a foreigner student, there may be some difficulties on reading and writing, thus, she suggested a book ( not thick, but with dozen chapters) for me, she said that it was an interesting book, for the Americans also like to find way to avoid paying tax.
Therefore, I checked out the book from the library, I spent most of my time reading the book and started to write the paper - it was very true, the book was very interesting, the Americans would like to give names to their pets and consider them as the family members, in a way to save the tax.... there were plenty of stories like this, I liked the reading very much.
And within the time, I finished the reading, this was the first English book I finish the reading in such a short time.
Later on, with the other course work, it was very common to complete the reading in a shorter time, sometimes, I needed to finish the reading within a week, now, I have no problem at all, but at the beginning, it was really a tough time, but I overcame!

營地街市熟食中心 Food court in the wet market (central)
Tou Tou Kou Restaurant eventually opened again on 20 December.
Yesterday walked by and wanted to see if I could reserve a table for tea for my father, but they said no reservation ( it is not true... !.)
Sunday morning, stopped by and got a number -(132) at 11:20AM, and was told it would take about an hour. Did some shopping first, then returned at 12:30AM, still the number was only 100, waited for about 20 minutes, and checked how long should I wait, was told that about 20 tables. Unacceptable - as many people went upstairs directly, or just talked with the waitress, then, they would got the table immediately.
For me, it was not an economically way to enjoy the lunch, ( I waisted about 2 hours for nothing ), it spoiled my mood.
I find myself like a tourist in Macau, everywhere is tourists, I can't find a place for my lunch.
Then, went to the food court of market building 營地街市熟食中心 - another waiting - all the tables were full, and there were many people lined up for the cow haslets, I would like to eat, but really didn't want to line up again.
Got different kinds of food - congee, stirred fired beef pasta, fried noodles, sweet and sour, hot vegetarian snacks, fried dumplings, dried bean curt, hot drinks, only about 100 patacas, saved about 2/3 the cost for Yam Cha ! 街坊食物 價廉物美, however, I believe that there are plenty of MSG in the food, I felt very thirsty the whole afternoon.

Biography
Patrick Westhoff grew up on a small dairy farm in Iowa, just a few miles from the “Field of Dreams.” He earned an undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Iowa and then spent two years in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, working with small-scale farmers. After getting a master’s degree in Latin American studies from the University of Texas, he moved back to Iowa and earned a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from Iowa State University in 1989.
From 1992-1996, he served as an economist with the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. He worked on several major pieces of legislation, including the 1996 farm bill.
Westhoff has spent most of his professional career studying agricultural markets and policies with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), first at Iowa State University and now at the University of Missouri. FAPRI analysis is used by the U.S. Congress, the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and national institutions in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In November 2007, he was named a codirector of the FAPRI unit at the University of Missouri (MU). The author also teaches and advises graduate students in the MU Department of Agricultural Economics.

【明報專訊】時屆2010年歲暮，內地食品價格大幅上漲，有些食品比美國 還要貴——比如杭州的牛腩、雞蛋、牛奶的價格是波士頓的兩至三倍，內地通脹率受食物漲價牽動，創28個月以來新高，可謂觸目驚心，與此同時，美國密蘇里大學教授威斯霍夫（Patrick Westhoff）的《食物經濟學》（The Economics of Food）剛出了中譯本，當中有不少中國食品價格發人深省的觀點，或可為我們「揭開糧價波動之謎」——這就是中譯本《糧食的價格，誰決定？》的副題。
威斯霍夫在此書指出﹕真正造成糧價大幅波動的原因，與氣候、生物能源、能源價格、經濟增長、政府政策、市場投機……等因素息息相關，而中國糧價波動，其中一個原因是經濟崛興改變了國民飲食習慣，「致令肉食和乳製品需求大增，連帶影響世界貿易及糧食價格」；而美元的疲軟誘使美國糧食出口量驟增，以美元結算的食品期貨價格上揚，投機者都在打農產品期貨市場的主意。
糧價的蝴蝶效應
他在「自序」中說得好﹕「沒有人不用吃飯，而且全世界有數十億人口從事農業及相關產業的工作。糧食價格對每個人來說都很重要，實際上還是件生死攸關的事。」消費者在超市付帳時也許不會察覺﹕從美國或印度的天氣，到倫敦或洛杉磯的燃料，乃至北京 、上海 或芝加哥的物價，都有助於我們了解糧價波動的原因，同時有助於「對未來市場的發展做出預期和回應……並且針對糧食與燃料議題做出對整個星球最好的重大決定」。他所說的，正是全球糧價的「蝴蝶效應」
美國人口約為3.8億（今年4月人口普查），威斯霍夫指出﹕中國人口差不多是美國的四倍，對肉食消費的需求必然遠遠超越美國，以1998年至2009年的豬肉消費數字為例，全球有半數以上的豬隻在中國飼養，換句話說，中國是全世界最大的豬肉生產國家，也是最大的豬肉消費國家——從而推論，中國糧價波動對全球糧食供應無疑有著非常巨大的決定性影響。
中國糧價帶出全球三大難題
聯合國食物權特別報告員德舒特（Olivier De Schutter）較早時發表了一份6頁報告，指出中國要穩定糧價是無比艱巨的工作，因為自1997年以來，由於城市化、工業化或自然災害，中國減少820萬公頃可耕地。中國面臨嚴竣的生態威脅與挑戰，對食品安全及弱勢群體的食物權具有深刻的潛在後果。此外，中國人均可用水量奇低，還不到世界平均水平的三分之一。
威斯霍夫指出，中國糧價波動為全世界帶來三大難題﹕其一，中國糧食未能自給自足，進口逐年增加必然拉動全球糧價上升；其二，中國部分食品雖可自給自足，比如粟米等穀物，但由於時有囤積居奇的傳聞，致供求失衡，引致中國在農產品方面已從出口國變成進口國，對全球糧價造成威脅；其三，中國的肥料用量遠超其他國家，亦會造成牽動效應，當中國農業逐漸機械化，則會引致全球鋼材和燃料因需求增加而價格上漲。

囚友天使十年讀盡獄中情 港台葉韻怡：他們都有點唱權利

"Time" - Top 10 Food Trends 2010
一元美食試到飽 18萬人捧場
(星島)2010年12月25日 星期六 05:30
(綜合報道)
(星島日報 報道)紅酒、龍蝦、牛扒、蟹腳，正是烹調一頓豐富聖誕大餐的絕配材料，物價高企之際，冬季購物節連同冬日美食嘉年華，推出舉辦以來最多款一元美食。今年亦設有免費試食攤位，有參展商表示歡迎市民「試食到飽」。展覽共吸引十八萬人次入場，比去年同期上升近三成，遠超大會預計。
聖誕節前夕，會展人頭湧湧。一連四日的第八屆冬季購物節連同冬日美食嘉年華昨開幕，吸引十八萬八千餘人次到場，比去年十四萬人次上升近三成。大會表示，人數遠超出預計，料不到周五開幕竟比去年公眾假期開幕吸引更多人。
百波士頓龍蝦十分鐘售罄
今屆冬日美食嘉年華推出八款一元美食，包括波士頓龍蝦、保加利亞紅酒、德國 蛋糕、朱古力代餐棒、iPhone保護套、沐浴露、無蔗糖糖果、花旗參茶等。其中以原價九十九元的波士頓龍蝦最受歡迎，甫開售即大排長龍，一百隻冰鮮龍蝦不出十分鐘即售罄。
賴先生昨早八時半到場排隊搶購一元龍蝦和優惠蟹腳，預備今日聖誕節烹調一頓聖誕大餐，與家人共享，可惜來不及購買一元紅酒及優惠牛扒。家住西環的胡太一家三口於九點半到場，因上屆曾買急凍松葉蟹，認為味道不錯，故今年再來買兩隻龍蝦，並希望多買些急凍海產。
攤位免費日派萬粒醬爆丸
同場設有多個免費試食的攤位，以台資新聯食品有限公司售賣的醬爆丸最受歡迎，排隊市民逼滿攤位之間的空位。其董事經理陳俊傑表示，每日預計免費派發一萬粒丸，價值八千元，旨在宣傳，不計賺蝕，不排除「加碼」。他說，市民若「有耐性排十次隊、廿次隊都會照派。」
維園正舉行工展會，面對推出一元「至抵價」美食作正面交鋒的美食嘉年華，有參展商坦言被搶去人流。工展會參展商蛋撻王營運經理李復強承認，冬日美食嘉年華開幕對工展會的營業必有影響，今年的生意較去年差一成。
參展商東方紅表示，兩個展覽均參展逾四年，其助理批發經理王偉傑指出，工展會較多內地客，消費力較強，而冬日美食嘉年華則以本地客為主。他表示，兩邊規模不同，但盈利增長相近。
同樣以「賣大包」作招徠，有市民認為，還是工展會較便宜。昨日入場參觀工展會的李小姐，為籌辦音樂社的新春聯歡會抽獎環節，購買十數袋糖果；她表示，對冬日美食嘉年華的一元優惠無興趣，工展會較實惠。記者 洪藹婷

今屆冬日美食嘉年華推出八款一元美食，包括波士頓龍蝦、保加利亞紅酒、德國 蛋糕、朱古力代餐棒、iPhone保護套、沐浴露、無蔗糖糖果、花旗參茶等。其中以原價九十九元的波士頓龍蝦最受歡迎，甫開售即大排長龍，一百隻冰鮮龍蝦不出十分鐘即售罄。
賴先生昨早八時半到場排隊搶購一元龍蝦和優惠蟹腳，預備今日聖誕節烹調一頓聖誕大餐，與家人共享，可惜來不及購買一元紅酒及優惠牛扒。家住西環的胡太一家三口於九點半到場，因上屆曾買急凍松葉蟹，認為味道不錯，故今年再來買兩隻龍蝦，並希望多買些急凍海產。
攤位免費日派萬粒醬爆丸
同場設有多個免費試食的攤位，以台資新聯食品有限公司售賣的醬爆丸最受歡迎，排隊市民逼滿攤位之間的空位。其董事經理陳俊傑表示，每日預計免費派發一萬粒丸，價值八千元，旨在宣傳，不計賺蝕，不排除「加碼」。他說，市民若「有耐性排十次隊、廿次隊都會照派。」
維園正舉行工展會，面對推出一元「至抵價」美食作正面交鋒的美食嘉年華，有參展商坦言被搶去人流。工展會參展商蛋撻王營運經理李復強承認，冬日美食嘉年華開幕對工展會的營業必有影響，今年的生意較去年差一成。
參展商東方紅表示，兩個展覽均參展逾四年，其助理批發經理王偉傑指出，工展會較多內地客，消費力較強，而冬日美食嘉年華則以本地客為主。他表示，兩邊規模不同，但盈利增長相近。
同樣以「賣大包」作招徠，有市民認為，還是工展會較便宜。昨日入場參觀工展會的李小姐，為籌辦音樂社的新春聯歡會抽獎環節，購買十數袋糖果；她表示，對冬日美食嘉年華的一元優惠無興趣，工展會較實惠。記者 洪藹婷

Es ist so schön, daß es Dich gibt von Vicky Leandros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmlIkUpCD4Q
Der Abend zieht sich seit Stunden dahin,
die Männer bemühn sich um mich.
Der eine schwört nur für mich da zu sein,
ein anderer spricht nur von sich.
Ich hör? ihnen zu wie sie reden,
und denke dabei nur an Dich.
Und ich weiß, es ist so schön, daß es Dich gibt.
Für mich bist Du, der Grund für ein Liebeslied.
Zärtlich wie ein Kind, dem große Worte wertlos sind,
sagst Du, was Du fühlst mit dem Herzen.
Deine Liebe ist wie ein Geschenk, deine Liebe.
Das Taxi fährt durch die Stille der Nacht,
ich lasse es halten am Fluß.
Tausend Gedanken begleiten mich,
das letzte Stück geh? ich zu Fuß.
Ich seh? eine Welt voller Männer,
und doch ist nicht einer wie Du.
Und ich weiß, es ist so schön, daß es Dich gibt.
Für mich bist Du, der Grund für ein Liebeslied.

Vicky Leandros - Wenn du jetzt gehst
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxeQiHaTVY0
Ich zerstreu die Zweifel
Bei Kerzen und Wein
Deine Hind und meine
Berühren sich zum Schein
Du wirkst auf mich als wäre dir
Alles schon längst klar
Nur wohin dieser Weg dich führt
Sagst du mir nicht
Wie gerne würd ich dir vertrauen
Weil ich weiß du hälst mich
Doch wie kann ich mir sicher sein
Ich fühl mich allein
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
Weiß ich nicht mehr was ich tun soll
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
Ist alles vorbei
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
verglüht der letzte Funken Hoffnung
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
Bin ich allein
Ich deute deine Zeichen
Doch will sie nicht sehen
Sag mir, in welchen Zeiten
Willst du zu mir stehen?
Wir beide könnten alles sein
Für immer und ewig
Was fehlt ist nur ein Wort von dir
Schau mich doch an
War meine Liebe dir zu viel?
Ist sie zu wenig?
Wie kann ich dir noch Nahe sein
Wenn du dich entfernst?
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
Weiß ich nicht mehr was ich tun soll
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
Ist alles vorbei
Und wenn du jetzt gehst
verglüht der letzte Funken Hoffnung

apres toi j'aurai les yeux humide
les mains vide le coeur sans joie
Avec toi j'avais appris a rire
et mes rires ne tiennent que par toi
Apres toi je ne serai que l'hombre
de ton hombre apres toi
meme un jour si je fais ma vie
et je tiens ma promesse
qui unis deux etre pour toujours
apres toi je pourrai peut-etre
donner de ma tendresse mais plus rien

街市內
最近往街市買菜的時候,
發覺街市內很多檔主都將貨物愈放愈出,
嚴重影響行人的通道.
又不見稽查人員,
真的想反映反映,
很明顯,
這是各檔主們的博奕策略,
在沒有稽查時,
可以適當地增加自己的使用面積.
在街市的人生百態真是不少,
上次,
看見一女人在豬肉檔內將豬肉左挑右挑,
真不知她的手有多清潔,
但只知豬肉經她這麼接觸,
新鮮也變為不新鮮,
或許此類人只是活在自己的世界內,
最後,看見檔主也忍不住,
叫她往別處買!
外一則:
聽來的個案
早上繁忙人多的時候
在買魚的檔口,
有婦人在一籮蟹中選蟹,
她手持兩個膠袋,
一白一紅,
她一手放了兩隻入白膠袋,
之後又放了一隻入紅膠袋,
隨後她拿著白膠袋給檔主計價,
檔主不察覺,
此人真是買二送一!

黃鶴樓 (崔顥)
昔人已乘黃鶴去，此地空余黃鶴樓。

晴川歷歷漢陽樹，芳草萋萋鸚鵡洲。
日暮相關何處是，煙波江上使人愁。

有關「斷句」的有趣故事
一、沒有標點的遺書
從前有一個富翁，只有一個女兒，到了六十歲時，才又生了一個兒子，取名為「非」。
富翁害怕自己死後，家產都被女婿奪走，於是寫了一封遺書，分別交給兒子和女婿。遺書上寫著：「六十老兒生一子人言非是我子也家產田園盡付與女婿外人不得爭執」。富翁死後，女婿果然併吞了家產，只留下一間小房子給富翁的兒子。幾年後，富翁的兒子長大了，要向姐夫要回家產，兩人爭執不下，便告到官府裡。
女婿理直氣壯的說：「岳父遺書上寫得很明白：六十老兒生一子，人言非是我子也，家產田園盡付與女婿，外人不得爭執。」縣令拿過遺書，仔細推敲，卻把家產判給了富翁的兒子。
你猜，縣令在遺書上發現了什麼？原來，縣令移動了標點符號，猜出了富翁真正的意思：「六十老兒生一子，人言『非』，是我子也。家產田園盡付與，女婿外人，不得爭執。」
一句話因為移動了標點符號，意思便有很大的差別，可見標點符號有多重要 。
二、財主娶媳婦
從前有位秀才給一個財主家的兒子說媒，信中寫道：「此女麻臉無頭髮烏黑皮膚白白癡癡純情不論聘金少不了……」
財主家一看欣然同意。他認為「此女麻臉無、頭髮烏黑、皮膚白白、癡癡純情、不論聘金，少不了……」這麼好的條件哪裡找？但娶回新娘竟是一個麻子，黑臉，禿子，於是找秀才理論去。
秀才說：「我在信中寫得清清楚楚，明明白白：『此女麻臉、無頭髮、烏黑皮膚、白白癡癡、純情不論、聘金少不了……。』一字不差呀！」財主有苦難言。

茅屋為秋風所破歌 (杜甫)
八月秋高風怒號，卷我屋上三重茅。
茅飛渡江灑江郊，高者掛罥長林梢，下者飄轉沉塘坳。
南村群童欺我老無力，忍能對面為盜賊。
公然抱茅入竹去，唇焦口燥呼不得，歸來倚杖自歎息。
俄頃風定雲墨色，秋天漠漠向昏黑。
布衾多年冷似鐵，驕兒惡臥踏裡裂。
床頭屋漏無干處，雨腳如麻未斷絕。
自經喪亂少睡眠，長夜沾濕何由徹！
安得廣廈千萬間，大庇天下寒士俱歡顏，風雨不動安如山！
嗚呼！何時眼前突兀見此屋，吾廬獨破受凍死亦足！

High Tea with high school friends 2010.12.24
Christmas Eve afternoon, tea with other 7 high school friends, we haven't met each other for long time; actually last Christmas we also met for the afternoon tea, but altogether we had 4, and this year, we got 4 more, comparing with all the students in the class, we got 1/4, good try! ( I was the one who proposed and made the call first).
We are going to meet in January 29, 2011, going to see how many can come.
We ate in the Honolulu Cafe, ( I like the garlic bread) the service was so so, though we had good time on getting update news: F was excited to show me her Christmas shopping, as she bought some clothes and had a new hair cut; I also exchanged with H about the best places for eating; exchanged, as usual, our work life in the conversation !!
Cest la vie.

無手畫家造就無臂鋼琴王子
(明報)2010年12月24日 星期五 05:05
【明報專訊】誰說彈鋼琴一定要用雙手？北京青年劉偉年少時因觸電意外失去雙臂，憑一雙腳重新學習刷牙、吃飯及寫字，更自創一套雙腳彈鋼琴絕技。今年他參加內地《中國達人秀》，十隻靈巧腳指譜出動人樂章，從兩萬多名參加者中脫穎而出。昨日他以節目冠軍身分來港，預告於聖誕節及翌日舉辦演奏會。23歲的他坦言自己是「幸運兒」，雖然意外後一度感到沮喪，因一位無臂畫家的鼓勵，得以重新振作。
來港聖誕獻技
劉偉穿上西裝跟數十名本地學生交流。他說自小愛踢足球，夢想長大後朝足球運動發展，豈料10歲時遇上意外，命運從此改寫，「觸電意外後，昏迷了6天，往後兩年在醫院躺著過」。席間有學生問他如何練得精湛琴技，他特別感謝一位在醫院認識的畫家。
「醫生當時介紹一位畫家給我認識，他叫劉京生老師，同樣沒有雙臂，但能夠照顧日常生活，他人很細心，向我示範如何用雙腳刷牙及吃飯等。」劉偉續說，他特別記得劉京生老師的一句話︰「老師說︰『拿枝筆，你會做得更多。』我是靠這句話走過來的。」
無臂畫家鼓勵 練「腳」寫字
結果，他花4至5個月便練出一「腳」好字，更在19歲那年開始自學鋼琴，短短3年內考獲七級鋼琴資格。被問及有沒有想過放棄時，他以「孖寶兄弟」電子遊戲比喻說︰「當你過了一關，快樂的感覺便會令你想繼續過下一關……學鋼琴是我的興趣，我十分享受過程，沒有人逼我學，所以不存在放棄與否的問題。」他表示，用腳指彈琴，跨度是最大問題，遇上8連聲歌曲，需靠兩腳去彈。學鋼琴是自己的事，旁人的目光則不能隨便控制，他坦言康復後回中學上課，有同學望著他故意挑釁︰「如果我是你，我死了算！」他還記得對方每天借故抄襲功課，故回敬對方︰「你也未死，我為何要死？」
「達人秀」上自彈自唱成名
今年7月，他參加在《中國達人秀》（China's Got Talent），並在10月份的決賽，自彈自唱Jame Blunt的You're beautiful，感動全場觀眾。他說下一個目標，是從事音樂創作，希望將來當個全方位音樂人。
近年社會出現「草莓族」及「港孩」等用詞，他被問及有何評價時，表示自己年紀尚輕，沒有資格評價，但坦言人擁有得太多，反而會忘記珍惜的重要，「每個人都應追尋夢想，但同要看清欲望及夢想的分別。」

寧買油事迹感動善長 鮮魚行善款不絕
(明報)2010年12月24日 星期五 05:05
【明報專訊】本報上周報道鮮魚行學校的小學生，每人獲善長捐助50元買聖誕禮物，但一些綜援學生寧買食油回家，放棄糖果玩具。學校小學生的聖誕故事，觸動有心人向鮮魚行學校伸出援手，校長梁紀昌說連日由500至8000元不等的捐款不斷，又有善長捐出20萬元，助200名學生在新春期間獲得現金大利市。
200學生新春可獲大利市
領取綜援的譚智澤，是新來港兒童，父親已離家，母親居港未足7年不能領取綜援，單靠3000多元綜援支持生計，兩口子蝸居深水埗板間房，學校早前獲善長捐款1萬元，200名學生各得50元買聖誕大禮物，但智澤選擇買食油回家，令母親十分感動。
梁紀昌表示，有善長看過報道後，這星期紛紛捐款，每次面額由500至8000元不等，一名逾60歲的胡女士昨日到學校，表示願意贊助智澤未來一年的午膳費，梁紀昌預計每月20天上學日，每餐16元計，大約3000多元。另外，一名不願透露姓名捐款者，送出20萬元讓學生做新春大利市，學校預計在新年派發500至600元利市，餘款會留作資助學生旅行舟車費。

Song - High
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9LopyqdzIw&feature=related
James Blunt
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

Song - Goodbye My Lover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyggTKDcOE&feature=channel
James Blunt
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow...

Song - You' re Beautiful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwpbtmFK4BM
James Blunt
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Warm Greetings
Christmas time, sent out some greetings to my friends' and got some e-greetings from them.
Nice to hear the updated news from some of them, especially the news from one of my old professor, who has settled down in FL now; nice to hear that he is healthy and happy with his wife and the little girl.
In the afternoon, also got a call from W from Hong Kong. Originally we planned to spend the Christmas vacation in China few months ago, but due to some reasons, we cancelled it. Lucky to hear the D came back from London last week, a little bit earlier to avoid the traffic mess in the London Airport, though he didn't know before.
Wish everyone has a warm Christmas - at this moment, I think S should have a very white and cold Christmas in Germany.
Happy holidays!

内容简介
近年来，散见于各大报刊的饮食文字不胜枚举，把见解整理成书的为数亦不少，有的强调追溯掌故，有的着重食物味道。这些书本，犹如城市人的饮食圣经；食肆一旦被点评过，随即生意兴旺，大排长龙。而饮食书籍的作者，多半是跨媒体人士，吃尽大江南北佳肴，既写作，又在幕前大谈饮食之道，做其多栖食家。
本书作者便是其中的一位。香港是公认的美食天堂，薛兴国先生引经据典，对各种名菜的制作和特色作了有趣的探讨，介绍了港台著名食肆是如何继承传统饮食文化，进而推陈出新的。在品读美文的同时，大家仿佛也能闻到阵阵美食之香。他展现了极浓的文化味道，不仅论吃，还掌握了饮食及菜系的历史与根源，一挥笔即尽显中国风雅，纵使你不爱吃，单读其书已感到趣味无穷。作者与食为伍，视享受为人生一大快事，但字里行间流露的，却是对吃的一份专业与讲究。

Do you hear the people sing?

It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!

There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Who will be strong and stand with me?

Is there a world you long to see?

That will give you the right to be free!

Song - One day when we were young
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrtD483d26U
One day when we were young
That wonderful morning in May
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day
Sweet songs of spring were sung
And music was never so gay
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day
You told me you loved me
And held me close to your heart
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the ti-ime to part
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the ti-ime to par-art
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day...

Then came the ti-ime to part
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the ti-ime to par-art
When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day...

Song - Reflections of my life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79NiN7ISW7E
(The Marmalade)
The changing
Of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
The greetings
Of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing, I'm changing everything
Oh, everything around me
The world is a bad place
A bad place, a terrible place to live
Oh, but I don't wanna die
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
All my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings...

每天清晨三种食物不能吃
http://bbs.health.msn.ynet.com/viewthread.php?tid=56700&extra=page%3D1
1.忌喝大量冰凉的饮料：温度相差太大会强烈刺激胃肠道，导致突发性挛缩。
2.忌空腹吃香蕉：香蕉中除了含有助眠的钾，还含有大量的镁元素，若空腹食用，会使血液中的含镁量骤然升高，而镁是影响心脏功能的敏感元素之一。
3.忌空腹吃菠萝：菠萝里含有强酵素，空腹吃会伤胃，其营养成分必须在吃完饭后才能更好地被吸收。
知道了清晨饮食的禁忌，就该立刻行动起来，寻找一款适合自己的养胃方案，这里推荐几款，供大家选择：
清晨养胃汤
材料：红枣50克，带蚕蛹的蚕茧20个，适量白糖。
做法：1.将洗净的红枣，和蚕茧一起入锅，加800克水。2.煮沸后改用小火慢煎15分钟。3.滤汁入大碗，加入白糖调味即成。
功效：汤甜味美，养胃健脾，润肺生津。
桑椹三明治
材料：切片面包若干(无味或咸味)、桑椹罐头1瓶。
做法：1.将桑椹罐头打开，舀出3～4粒桑椹粒放在面包上。2.再舀几勺桑椹汁，均匀地浇在面包片上，将面包片对折即可。
功效：不仅养胃，还具有明目、清肝及健脑的作用。
早晚养胃粥
材料：粳米50克、大枣10个、莲子20克。
做法：1.莲子用温水泡软、去芯，粳米淘洗干净，大枣洗净。2.三者同入锅内，加清水适量，旺火煮开后，文火熬煮成粥。3.根据个人口味调味后早晚食用。
功效：养胃健脾，还可防治缺铁性贫血

香港聖誕老人回信了
(明報)2010年12月22日 星期三 12:05
香港郵政今年收到寄給聖誕老人的信件多達4000封。香港郵政「聖誕老人」會逐一回信，親筆寫上祝福。
寫信給聖誕老人的，多數是小朋友，當中不乏一些親手繪製、七彩繽紛的聖誕卡。有小朋友關心聖誕老人的朋友鹿子有沒有生病，又提提他別忘了派發禮物給香港的小朋友。也有小朋友索性給聖誕老人一份禮物清單，列出自己想要的禮物，並承諾自己一定會乖。
除了香港的小朋友，台灣的小朋友也是香港聖誕老人的「粉絲」，香港郵政今年收到不少來自台灣的來信，中英文皆有，他們都極之渴望收到聖誕老人的回信。
別以為只有小朋友才會寫信給聖誕老人，有成年人就在信中寫道：「這並不是小朋友的專利，尤其是生活在充滿壓力和競爭的城市裏。」並說自己過去十多年，每年都寄信給聖誕老人，為求將心願寫出，收到回覆便心滿意足了。
也有初生嬰兒的父母，特意寫信給聖誕老人，希望自己的寶寶收到的第一張聖誕卡，是來自聖誕老人。
除了告訴聖誕老人自己想要甚麼禮物，想達成甚麼願望之外，有小朋友選擇跟聖誕老人分享心事，其中一位寄件人表示：「最後一次見爸爸的時候是在醫院，媽媽告訴我，爸爸要到一個很遙遠的地方。今年的聖誕願望，就是跟最愛的爸爸相處一天，就是一天便足夠了！」「聖誕老人」在回信中鼓勵這位小朋友：「你要生性、好好孝順媽媽。」
第二年協助聖誕老人覆信的李麗歡，本身是香港郵政的揀信助理員。她回想小時候也真的相信世界上有聖誕老人，她期望這一代的小朋友，仍然保持這分童真，正如香港郵政過去廿多年來，都安排聖誕老人回信服務，目的是不令寄信的人失望、對未來充滿希望。
聖誕老人無人不識，寄信給他並不須寫地址，只在信封面上寫上「聖誕老人收」，貼上足夠郵票就可以了。當然不要忘記在信中寫上回郵地址。
香港郵政表示，12月底前收到的來信，都會收到聖誕老人的回覆.

澳門慶回歸 千人遊行
(明報)2010年12月21日 星期二 05:10
【明報專訊】澳門昨日慶祝回歸11周年，中央政府送出一對大熊貓「開開」和「心心」。但多個工會和澳門立法會民主派議員發起逾千人遊行，爭取普選 和改善民生。有遊行者戴上熊貓面具，諷刺一對大熊貓住豪宅，市民卻要等配額上樓，警方派防暴警察和水炮車駐守戒備。
諷刺熊貓住豪宅
澳門民主派議員和新澳門學社昨日分別發起遊行，兩批合共約1200人下午3時從澳門北區出發，前往澳門政府總部請願。警方一直沿途戒備，並派出防暴警察和水炮車駐守新馬路區的道路，嚴防示威者中途改變遊行路線，遊行代表遞交請願信後和平散去。
遊行者提出多項訴求，有人戴上熊貓面具，諷刺中央贈送的一對大熊貓開開、心心可入住豪宅，但澳門居民就要等配額上樓。另有遊行者扮成熊貓，取名為「普普、選選」，爭取澳門2019年普選。
批崔世安「遊埠特首」
身穿印上「河蟹」字樣襯衣的青年批評，澳門行政長官 崔世安經常外訪是「遊埠特首」。澳門立法會議員區錦新表示，澳門回歸以來無實現民主化，無力肅清貪污問題，崔世安施政首年表現不合格，市民分享不到經濟成果，單靠派錢無法解決問題。
何厚鏵獲大蓮花勳章
崔世安出席回歸慶祝酒會時指出，未來會繼續改善民生，提高施政能力和成效，加強政府和民間互動，並公布向38人及團體授勳，表揚他們對社會的貢獻。澳門前特首何厚鏵獲頒最高榮譽的大蓮花勳章，他表示感到光榮。

國 破 山 河 在 ， 城 春 草 木 深 。

白 頭 搔 更 短 ， 渾 欲 不 勝 簪 。

Oversleeping in spring I missed the dawn;
Now everywhere the cries of birds are heard.
Tumult of wind and rain had filed the night---
How many blossoms fell during the storm?

李清照的詞
如夢令春晚
昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。
試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。
知否？知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。
如夢令
誰伴明月獨坐？我金影兒兩個。
燈盡欲眠時，影也把人拋躲，
無那，無那，好個悽惶的我！
醉花陰重陽
薄霧濃雲愁永晝，瑞腦消金獸。
佳節又重陽，玉枕紗櫥，半夜涼初透。
東籬把酒黃昏後，有暗香盈袖。
莫道不消魂，簾捲西風，人比黃花瘦。
昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。
試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。
知否？知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。
如夢令
誰伴明月獨坐？我金影兒兩個。
燈盡欲眠時，影也把人拋躲，
無那，無那，好個悽惶的我！

NHK 教你天天用得上的經濟學關鍵字
http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/booksfile.php?item=0010478027
作者：NHK「快樂上班經濟學」製作小組/編、吉本佳生/監修
出版社：漫遊者文化
出版日期：2010年08月12日
語言：繁體中文 ISBN：9789866272219
日本NHK熱門經濟學節目，台灣紙上首播！
NHK劃時代首播、以幽默喜劇方式詮釋經濟學的節目「快樂上班經濟學」，
播出後立刻轟動日本，成為上班族周末夜必看節目。
現在以漫畫形式呈現原劇精華，讓你原汁原味在紙上一睹為快。
不用死背理論、不必上課進修，
12個經濟學關鍵字，用演的讓你一看就懂！
沉沒成本、機會成本、比較優勢、逆選擇、差別定價、折現值……，
天啊，這麼多的經濟學關鍵字代表什麼？跟我有什麼關係？
用戲劇演出取代理論，舉切身例子活學活用！
上班族每天都要做的決策，原來都跟經濟學有關：
這個產品已經投入這麼多的資源，不繼續開發下去，之前的投資不就全浪費了？
拜訪客戶搭計程車太貴了，到時報計程車資一定會被主管唸，還是搭公車比較省錢，對吧？
「為什麼我老是被派去幫忙影印，幫忙買香菸，或是處理雜事……」，你該怎麼往好處想？
找工讀生又怕他們偷懶，於是設計了種種防弊措施，但結果卻徒勞無功，根本原因在哪？
為什麼百年老店或知名企業，反而常常接二連三發生產品問題（例如黑心商品）？
如果公司內部無法讓優秀人才出頭，反而會造成劣幣驅逐良幣，經濟學怎麼看這個現象？
為什麼超市折價券要印這麼小小一格？為什麼行動電話的費率方案這麼複雜？這裡面心機深了！
若競爭對手也推出跟自己類似的商品，要不要打折促銷？如果不做而對方做了，就會喪失市場，但如果兩邊都做就會無效又喪失毛利，到底該怎麼辦？
有新人報到，每個老鳥都支使新人幫忙，而且不用白不用，結果只會讓新人給操到死提早畢業，要怎樣防止？
真的假的？投保這種保本型保險，不僅可以有投資機會，而且就算沒有賺也可以保有本金，真有這麼好康嗎？
為什麼市場的贏家往往未必是規格最好的產品？

Song - White Christmas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HrAy5xqzOs
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
with every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
with every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
(All your christmases be white)
(All your christmases be white)
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,

美麗的誤會 - 先人的用品
今天下午,
陪同學入街口的文具紙紮店買文具.
因小學時勞作很差,
非常欣賞店中各式的紙紮貨品,
覺得他們為先人做的東西,
實用又美麗吸引:
茶樓各式點心,
各類汽水食物,
各式衣服,鞋,配飾,
日用品等等
真是多不勝數,
與以前的車,豪宅,電視,雪櫃,音響等
貨品更是包羅萬有,
如入超大型的超市購物般.
先人真是再不寂寞,
因沒有標價.
問同學知否這些手工製品的價錢如何,
他說不大清楚.
在欣賞之餘,
見到一本通勝,
造型非常真的,
標價21元,
心想,
先人也需要通勝?
再隨手看看手工如何?
原來是真的通勝!
真是真真假假
真亦假是,
假亦真!!

Golden Gerberas ( 太陽花 African daisy) in Taipa
An exhibition of Gerbera Jamesoni is going on in Taipa, however, when I was there, I was a little bit disappointed, it was not as pretty as I thought.
Nevertheless, it could be a program for spending the time during holiday.

Pandas’ home ready
Macao Daily Times
17/12/2010 03:00:00
The Panda pavilion is ready to house tomorrow the two giant pandas from Sichuan province offered by the Central Government.
‘Hoi Hoi’ and ‘Sam Sam’ will be located in Seac Pai Van park, the 3,000 square-metre pavilion that includes two rooms and two gardens – indoor and outdoor.
However, the final cost rose to MOP 90 million, up MOP 10 million compared to the original budget.
The pavilion will be closed for the first 40 days, a period that will be used for the pandas to get used to their new home.
I wish I were one of the "Pandas", so that I could enjoy the luxary home.

High School classmates
Take the initiative to call my old classmates for the great gathering in January, heard the familiar voices over the phone, it was an exciting moment, as few of them were very surprised of my calls, still our friendships are there!!
Anyway, I spent the whole morning talking over the phones, and got some interesting facts from my friends - some of them I should have known, but I forget.
My conclusion, something in life seems very significant, but as time pass, it is nothing important.
F reminded me that we had 33 classmates, but it seems to me I always keep in touch with no more than 10.
Chi M. told me he was one of the 6 buddies who could not pass the graduation exam, but he worked hard to repeat the last year in night school, now I think he has a successful career.
To be honest, after the graduation exams, everyone was very busy on planning their future, and seldom met.
In addition, a cert is only a cert, at that moment, it was very important, but now, it doesn't matter, nobody would care how many A's you got in your course work, only NOW IS MATTER!

父親給我的金句
以銅為鏡,可正衣冠.
以人為鏡,可知得失.
逆境是達到真理的一條通道,
奇跡多是在厄運中出現的.
智者千慮,必有一失,
愚者千慮,必有一得.
敏而好學,不恥下問.
溫故知新,可以為師.
功不獨居,過不推諉.
榮寵旁邊辱等待
貧賤背後福跟隨
口說不如身到
耳聞不如目睹
一時強弱在於力
萬古勝負在於理
小人之交, 甘若禮
君子之交, 淡如水.
看見朋友的真心,
祗有在患難時刻.
緊行無好步,
慢嘗得滋味.
谷要自長,
人要自強.
理想乃是人生的太陽
夢是願望的一種實現

淇澳紅樹林
http://www.macaodaily.com/html/2010-12/17/content_543039.htm
澳門日報:
博覽園碧水藍天與大自然全接觸
淇澳紅樹林觀鷺鳥
在珠海東北端的淇澳島，有一片五千公頃的紅樹林濕地，是廣東省紅樹植物的基因庫和珠三角地區鳥類的重要棲息地，為讓市民更好地接觸和瞭解紅樹林，這裡設立了淇澳紅樹林博覽園，遊人可深入到紅樹林內，實地欣賞這紅樹繁盛、鷺鳥棲息、碧水藍天的獨特景觀，與大自然全身心接觸。
淇澳紅樹林博覽園位於珠海淇澳紅樹林自然保護區內，沿小路穿過淇澳的村莊一路向北，不久便到了大圍灣，那是一望無際的綠色世界。
紅樹林，如顧名思義是紅色的，會鬧出笑話的。紅樹林是指在熱帶、亞熱帶淤泥質海灘上，以紅樹科植物為代表的常綠喬灌木組成的鹽生沼澤群落，具有固沙抗生等生態保護功能。由於紅樹科植物的樹皮部分可以提煉紅色染料，這種樹皮被稱為“紅樹皮”，其中文名稱稱作紅樹林。
紅樹林博覽園第一期於去年投入使用之後，淇澳紅樹林成為集自然保護、科普敎育和遊覽觀光之地。園區內修建了一條蜿蜒迂迴的木棧道，貫穿整個遊覽區，兩旁是一片接一片的草叢、灌木，個頭低矮，生於水中，生機勃勃。這些草木似曾相識，又叫不出其名，通過沿途設置的標識牌，對品種繁多的紅樹林有初步的瞭解。
淇澳紅樹林作為廣東林業生態名片，是國家林業局紅樹林造林示範基地，又是國內紅樹林最早人工恢復，連片面積最大的紅樹林，是全國少有緊靠大城市的紅樹林區之一。
據介紹，這裡擁有維管植物六百九十五種，其中紅樹林植物三十三種，是國內紅樹植物種類最多的紅樹林；擁有野生動物三百四十七種，其中鳥類一百二十種，是中國三大候鳥遷徙路徑之一，秋冬季棲息着近十萬隻鳥類。
每逢節假日，紅樹林博覽園均吸引大批遊人前往觀光，靑少年學生亦絡繹不絕，成為學校的第二課堂。此外，投資五億元的淇澳紅樹林濕地公園正籌備當中，將於明年動工興建，建成後將變身珠三角最大濕地公園。

Song - 全因為你
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqdtT30rWBw
常言道：「人生像演戲。」回看這生精彩因有著你！
人在世永恆何在？或如流星閃耀掠過，是你令我人生找到靠依！
死蔭幽谷中你伴我過渡，歡欣裡，風光裡，你共我同在！
當身處孤單傷痛來擁我入懷！
你是我神！是我奇妙救恩！
全因為你，令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛化做傳奇。
無論我壯如紅日，或如黃昏般漸漸老，是你令我如鷹般高飛！
全因為你！令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛化做傳奇。
唯獨你，是我拯救！我總不至死，直到永遠，從心底讚美！
唯獨你，是我拯救！我總不至死，直到永遠，從心底讚美！

中英對談﹕中英相會 在廣告
(明報)2010年12月16日 星期四 05:05
【明報專訊】“Ben：你還記得前陣子麥當勞餐廳有個廣告標語寫著「飯tastic」嗎？”
“Paul：雖然餐廳再沒有出產這食品，但該標語很有創意，難怪我們還記得呢！”
■中文
形容詞fantastic [fantastIk] 的首音節是[fan-]，與「飯」的粵音「faan6」相似，所以用「飯」來取代之。語義上，「飯」說明食品是用米飯製成；另外，以fantastic這詞作為基礎，用意讚賞食品味道奇妙。所以「飯tastic」的中英元素在語音上互相配合，整個混合詞又能針對產品的特點。
有一次，我跟一班小學資優生玩這個「飯tastic」遊戲，他們首先要想一件產品，接著要選擇適當的英語形容詞，繼而嵌上能針對產品的中文字，學生的作品如下：
Beautiful → 表tiful
Wonderful → 溫derful
Forever → 火ever
Comfortable → com化table
Professional → pro啡ssional
Interesting → interes停
大家猜一猜這些中英混合詞所推廣的是什麼產品。
──香港中文大學中國語言及文學系 高級導師歐陽偉豪博士（Ben）
■英文
廣告要吸引人注意，很多時會故意偏離文法，以達特殊效果，以時裝廣告口號Smart listens to the head為例，Smart所處的是主語（subject）位置，英文標準句子本應以名詞為主語，但廣告以形容詞Smart為主語，卻得出很有趣的效果；保險公司以The Power of We為推廣口號，文法上We應為Us，但We讀來較鏗鏘，而且We一般用於主語位置，有施事者（doer / agent）的味道，口號用We的效果肯定比四平八穩的The Power of Us或Our Power優勝。至於運動用品廣告口號，將習用語Nothing is impossible扭轉為Impossible is nothing，更是不可多得之作，將形容詞Impossible放在主語位置，使其變為一個幾乎不可能翻譯的概念，既簡潔，又有氣勢。廣告語言，雖不一定配合傳統文法，卻往往充滿創意。

生命鬥士力克今為澳人打氣
昨晚去了“生命奇蹟Nick得你都得”勵志人生綜合晚會，來自澳洲籍的生命鬥士力克 · 胡哲（Nick Vujicic），在場為居民及青年人打氣，鼓勵都市人勇於面對壓力及逆境，活出精彩的人生。
很欣賞澳門青年交響樂團,張氏兄弟的音樂,Nick的分享及蔡元雲醫生的即時傳譯,獲益良多.
Ｆｒｏｍ Ｍａｃａｏ Ｄａｉｌｙ Ｎｅｗｓ：
缺四肢無礙運動學習 擁兩學位積極向前
力克教你活得充實善用人生
考考你，到底生存意義何在？有甚麼值得重視？估計當下八、九十後青年的答案離不開——豐厚家底、房子、車，或是擔心三十出頭仍是單身等等。有否想過如何活得充實與善用人生、燃燒生命？生命鬥士力克·胡哲教你三大要訣：信心、家庭、目標。萬般帶不走，外表與物質享受並不重要，視乎你如何看待人生、勇於接受自己。
上帝有特別“計劃”
“從誕下一刻已沒有雙手、沒有雙腿，但左下肢有一個‘小鼓槌’連兩根腳趾，醫生也無法解釋病源來自何方。身為牧師的父親極度震驚，兒子出世幾個月以來，祇能與妻子無語問蒼天，也顯得沮喪、絕望、埋怨、痛苦甚至終日以淚洗面。可幸他們堅信上帝是有特別‘計劃’，才令力克成長在愛與接納之中。”
來自澳洲、先天殘障青年力克·胡哲（Nick Vujicic）昨日先以童年時遇到的苦況，讓本澳居民簡要地了解其切身經歷。儘管憶述過去種種辛酸史，但他並沒有展露一絲傷感，倒是說得有點耐人尋味。
殘而不廢激勵別人
力克是澳洲首名可到正規學校上課的殘障學生，在學期間努力嘗試學習用兩根腳趾執筆寫字，積極融入正常生活。當然，也曾遭受同學奚落，令性格變得孤單抑鬱，八歲時更以為跌低後不能站起來，其後曾三度想過自殺，但腦海浮現將令所愛的父母一輩子內疚，於是放棄這個念頭。他形容，自從信主後把殘疾看作是“上天的禮物”。在努力不懈地練習運用腳下的“小鼓槌”及頸部肌肉後，穿衣、吃飯、打字、游水，騎馬、釣魚、開快艇、甚至打鼓已無一不曉，且變得樂天知命、學懂幽默，也能自嘲，還經常藉缺陷激勵別人，做到殘而不廢。
擁有會計和理財兩個大學學位、曾獲“傑出澳洲青年奬”的力克成為了激勵講員，更成立非牟利組織“Life Without Limbs”，周遊列國作激勵分享演講，至今已去過四大洲共廿四個國家與政府官員、總統、名人等超過二百四十萬人交流心得，也透過電視、報紙、雜誌等與超過六億人溝通，此番成就的確得來不易。
錢非萬能信心向前
“常人行走十步，但我需行走四百步！”力克以步速來比喻自己的付出。對於時下青年抗逆力低下及物質化，他認為錢並非萬能，與其終日計較得失、埋怨自身短處，倒不如給予信心向前看。“人生前面轉角到底是好是壞根本無從得知，祇要心中懷着希望與目標，就算前路茫茫，也能迎刃而解。”

力克教你活得充實善用人生
考考你，到底生存意義何在？有甚麼值得重視？估計當下八、九十後青年的答案離不開——豐厚家底、房子、車，或是擔心三十出頭仍是單身等等。有否想過如何活得充實與善用人生、燃燒生命？生命鬥士力克·胡哲教你三大要訣：信心、家庭、目標。萬般帶不走，外表與物質享受並不重要，視乎你如何看待人生、勇於接受自己。

Movies about Christmas
(明報)2010年12月16日 星期四 05:05
【明報專訊】Christmas is a festival of faith, love and hope. Innumerable movies have been made about the charming festival.
Love Actually (2003)
An outstanding example of Christmas love stories, Love Actually (《真的戀愛了》) incorporates what eight couples experience as they fall in and out of love in a month before Christmas in London.
Little Gobie 3D (2010)
Little Gobie 3D (《反斗高比玩轉聖誕城3D》 ) is the first Hong Kong-made original Christmas animation. It is about Gobie, a reindeer, looking for Santa Claus in the hope that he can heal Bebe, its pet. The movie's screening began on 11 December.
A Christmas Carol (1938)
Among the oldest Christmas movies (which date back to the 1930s) is the number one classic A Christmas Carol. It was an adaptation of Charles Dicken's story with the same title. It is about the transformation Scrooge, a stingy man, has after his supernatural travel through time, during which he meets spirits and has extraordinary experiences.
The Nativity Story (2006)
The Nativity Story (《聖誕頌》) reminds us what Christmas is about. It is based on the biblical account of what happened to Mary and Joseph when they travelled to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.
The Polar Express (2004)
The Polar Express is an animated film based on a children's novel with the same title published in 1985. Since its publication, the novel has been a popular Christmas gift for children. The story is about a little boy who gets on the Polar Express on Christmas night and travels to the North Pole. He eventually receives a special Christmas present from Santa Claus.

量化寬鬆 QE ( quantitative easing)
【明報專訊】Quantitative easing can be understood as "pumping money into an economy and working to lower interest rates that central bankers do not usually control" so that banks can make loans, which will stimulate economic activity. The commonest way of QE is to purchase debt (債券) on a large scale. Doing so has the same effect as printing vast quantities of money, but the authorities need not turn on their printing machines. It may be called "expanding the balance sheet". The Fed buys government or other bonds and "writes down" that it has done so. After making the money available to lenders, the amount of money sloshes round the economy, which may expand.
Most economists are agreed that QE, together with other factors like near-zero interest rates, the stimulus bill and the federal bank bailout, may have helped avert a global depression. However, some warn QE may sow the seeds of inflation.

Rat in the office - Part II
Today, the rat is still in the office cabinet, and it makes some noise as well as bites the wood and the paper.
Everyone is scarred of it!
The expert came but still could not catch it successfully.
It stays with us!
*****
In the late afternoon, after a great effort, the rat was finially caught, it was a small one, some of us believed that there may be others.....
Anyway, we are in an old building (probably 60 years old), nobody knows what kind of animals live in it.

Rat in the office - Part I
Around lunch time, one of my colleagues saw a big rat entered into the office from the corridor, as a result, everyone was informed of the new visitor and be careful of our own belongings. It was quite scarred.
We could not exactly see the rat in the office, but we believed that it hided into the cabinets, as it produced a lot of noise.
One expert arrived our office in the early afternoon and put some powder for it to eat, we don't know the outcome yet, but for sure we know that we have a guest in our working area.
It reminds me that few years ago, when I was attending an international meeting in a 5-star hotel in Vietnam, some participants complained that they saw a rat in the room. For the foreigners, it was really unbelievable, that rats were not on the street, but in a high standard hotel!
For our office building, I still don't know why we get the rat, terrible!!

食火鍋 食出各地文化
(明報)2010年12月13日 星期一 05:05
【明報專訊】一入秋冬，又是「打邊爐」的好季節。一家大小歡聚一堂，或是三五知己圍在爐邊談天說地，都是樂事。今期且從火鍋的食材、食法、口味等種種，想一想通識與我們的生活何干。
■今日香港 x 港式火鍋
食材湯底多樣 全年無休
香港人很喜歡火鍋，更有所謂全天候的港式火鍋。特色是無論春夏秋冬，一年到晚，都有人愛「烚吓烚吓」，而食肆提供的食材和湯底更是多樣化，類如fusion火鍋，迎合港人口味多又雜的特色，材料有各式各樣的肉丸、海鮮、肥牛、即食麵、三文魚、午餐肉、水晶叉燒包等等；湯底選擇亦甚為豐富，有沙嗲、麻辣、清湯，還有滋補的藥材湯底等。
近年港式快餐店亦興起具香港特色的火鍋快餐文化——推銷便捷抵食、食材多元和一人一鍋等，以迎合「無飯」一族和經常獨自進膳的市民。

生活練習場﹕餐桌禮儀要留意
(明報)2010年12月13日 星期一 05:05
【明報專訊】在聚餐中，你已經吃畢，想示意侍應把用具取走。你會如何擺放刀叉？
■不少學校的畢業聚餐在酒店舉行，那可能是同學人生第一次出席隆重場合。西式餐飲通常分前菜、主菜和甜品，使用餐具通常基本原則是「從外到內」，先用放在最外的餐具，最後才用放在最內的餐具。碟上方的匙和叉，是用來吃甜品的。
餐桌禮儀不止是吃一環，當中還有一些待人處事禮節，還得留意，才不見笑人前。
餐桌禮儀
◆赴宴前﹕
若因為健康或宗教原因而不能進食一些食物，可事前向邀請者說明，但若只是關乎個人口味，就不宜多說。
◆聚餐上﹕
•把菜單合上放在桌上，侍應就知道你想點菜。如果要點的菜很多，可各自各點，否則是主人為眾客人點。
•席上有需要如廁，可趁前菜與主菜之間的時間解決。
•自助餐忌眼闊肚窄，每次取食物，不應取過量，寧可多取幾次；也不要把食物堆至滿滿的，留給人壞印象。
•如果是侍應上菜，明知吃不完，應禮貌地表示要小量，避免吃剩食物。
•吃飯不要發出吮吸聲，取調味料時，不要把整個身體探過去，應請鄰座幫忙。
•吃快餐自然可以隨意用手拿薯條吃，但在隆重聚餐中，應用叉。
•切忌狼吞虎嚥，應一口一口地進食，咀嚼時要閉著嘴。
•吃甜品通常用一副小刀叉，不用主菜的餐具。
•若要提早離開，應先向主人道別，再對其他客人點頭示意。
■輕鬆話題 人人受落
席間交談是聯誼的機會，有人認為吃飯不宜談政治、金錢、疾病，這些話題不是容易令人吵架，就是把氣氛搞至不好。話題自然因人而異，但輕鬆、愉快的話題一定人人受落，不要冷落其中一些人，可多主動交談。不應津津樂道地談論某人的是非。
化解意外 避免失禮
就算最得體的人也可能遇上小意外，只要處理得宜，也不會失禮人前。例如不小心打碎玻璃杯，道歉是必然的，宴會結束後，找機會跟主人提出賠償，並在第二天送上禮物；刀子掉到地上，可請侍應為你拾起，並換上新刀；流鼻涕的話，背轉上身，輕輕抹一抹。

婆媳
星期天飲茶去
陶陶居仍然在裝修
(好像已有3個多月)
在中區, 要近家的,
可選擇的真是不多
又是那間好食但卻十分擠的
今天好彩,
取了一張小桌子
不用搭台.
可惜前面一桌有人吸煙,
後面一桌的,
有人卻很勞氣的
向她的朋友訴苦,
連粗口也出來.
原本不想聽的,
也像聽收音廣播一樣,
照樣全收.
原來是婆媳關係,
她說孫子教得不好,
沒禮貌,
做媽媽的沒盡責.
孫子不理她,
她肯定是媽媽教她不要親近祖母.
似乎婆媳關係真是一個不易處理的天下難題,
女人跟女人,
當發生利益上的衝突時,
是天下最煩最煩的事,
見過的例子真的不少,
是否各人都行一小步,
多為對方及周圍的人想,
事情會好一點
關係也會好一點?
By the way, I don't have the clue, because I don't have that kind of experience!

"Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent"
By
http://janisaspring.com/
http://janisaspring.com/?page_id=64
"Dr. Spring's beautiful writing transports us. You will feel better knowing it's not just you who is ashamed and awed by the challenges of caring for elderly parents. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone who is beginning or ending the journey. It's a lonesome valley, made less lonesome by this remarkable book."
-Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D., founder of Internal Family Systems therapy
"This is more than just a book about caring for an aging parent. It is about human endurance, discovering who we really are, questioning our core values, seeing our future through a magnifying glass, and coming face to face with excruciating life and death choices. In absorbing detail, the author takes us on this soul-changing journey, one that is bound to move and inspire her readers."
-Peggy Papp, M.S.W., Senior Supervisor, Ackerman Family Institute
"Tender, powerful, bluntly honest, Life with Pop explores the extraordinary personal challenges and moments of grace that come with caring for an aging parent. I was a long-distance son, loving but not present. Janis' book showed me with sharp clarity some of the joy I missed and some of the burden I was spared. Rather than inducing guilt and regret, though, it filled me with compassion for all families taking this last walk together. It was a gift to me. Read it. It will be a gift to you."
-David Treadway, Ph.D., co-author of Home Before Dark: A Family's First Year with Cancer
"This book is wonderful-so readable, so personal, so genuine. I can't wait to recommend it to my family, friends, and patients of all ages. It speaks remarkable truths about life that will enrich all who read it."
-Judith S. Beck, Ph.D., Director, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research

「聖誕市集」Weihnachtsmarkt
http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/101205/4/lm2c.html
http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/101205/4/lm2d.html
Read the above article, it reminds me of the trip few years ago.
That year, when I visited S in Germany in late October, she took me to the Weihnachtsmarkt, it was really a good program for me, as I like to visit markets (from wet market to supermarket) in different countries/cities, I can see how the local people buy the daily groceries, it is a lot of fun.
Actually, even though Christmas was a little bit earlier for that time, the atmosphere was very good, I remember that with the cold weather, I bought the nice chocolates and the ginger breads, I also bought the sausages, a Christmas calender for the kid, some herbs..... wonderful shopping!
For our dinner, we also bought a big fresh Salmon fish head - delicious, in the open market, there were also a lot of beautiful plants and the decorations accessories, craftworks, clothing, household items, the market is clean and large.
Happy Christmas shopping.

Walk for a Million 2010.12.12
I didn't participate for the walk for few years.
This week, my colleagues were very busy on organising the logistic arrangements for our company's participation - from the company jackets, sport wears, notices, organising how to get a better position for the start, to get the company flag, banners...... one cannot imagine that there are a lot of things to take care, not to mention the Yam Cha afterwards.
I heard that organisation should get a better position in the early morning, otherwise, all the people of the company would have to wait for a long time to start the walk, i.e. the people who walk first can finish the walk earlier. Some teams may not start the walk close the noon time ( it may be 2 hours' waiting).
As for this year, I heard that some organisations have already put the company flags in the area to indicate that they have the earlier arrival in the starting point on Tuesday - just can't imagine of this.
This afternoon, when I was having a walk in Barra and Sai Wan area - I told myself , I also had a walk, but not for a million, as it is few hours earlier - I recognised this as I saw the filming equipment from Macau Cable TV, they have already set up and prepared for tomorrow's great event, yes, it is, it is a big event in Macau.
Every year, around noon time of the Charity Walk Day, it is usual to see many people dressed with their company jackets/sport wears, they walk in the street and do a little bit of "mobile company advertising". and the Chinese restaurants are usually very busy, esepcailly after the walk!
This week, my colleagues were very busy on organising the logistic arrangements for our company's participation - from the company jackets, sport wears, notices, organising how to get a better position for the start, to get the company flag, banners...... one cannot imagine that there are a lot of things to take care, not to mention the Yam Cha afterwards.
I heard that organisation should get a better position in the early morning, otherwise, all the people of the company would have to wait for a long time to start the walk, i.e. the people who walk first can finish the walk earlier. Some teams may not start the walk close the noon time ( it may be 2 hours' waiting).
As for this year, I heard that some organisations have already put the company flags in the area to indicate that they have the earlier arrival in the starting point on Tuesday - just can't imagine of this.

遇
星期六下午,
無特別事做,
往西環走了一轉,
回程時,
竟給我遇上中學時的師姐,
多年不見,
雖然同在一小城,
沒遇上就是像多條平行線一般,
永不遇上.
是我主動先把她認出及和她在路上小談,
交換了近況及電話.
時間就是不留人,
當天的小妹子,
如今已年青不在,
各自在小城內為生活而奔波.
N 中學後就從事賭場公司賬房的會計,要論班.
S,另一位從事會計的師姐,原來早早隨著資方北上投資設工廠, 每天在內地上班.
怪不得小城內的澳門人是這麼難的遇上.
Everybody has his/her life !!
C'est La Vie.

White Christmas In W. Virginia
In my sophomore year, I was invited by my roommate J to go to her house to spend the Christmas, it was really a very good Christmas for me, peaceful and enjoyable.
It was a long drive from Berea to W. Virgina, it took more than 5 hours, and she lived in a suburban area, far away from the city, her house was in the hill side, with a lot of snow covering the trees and the grasses, it was really a white Christmas for me.
After back home, we needed to clean the house, and then, three of us went to the hill to cut a tree for the Christmas tree.
There were plenty of trees in the hill for us to choose, I was amazed of living in the country side - no people, fresh air, but without a car, I could not even buy any groceries.
We were very busy, as by the time we went home, there were not much time left, we also needed to do the Christmas shopping - for food and for gifts.
I enjoyed the shopping trip very much, as in Berea, I could only go to Wal-Mart. In her home place, there were a lot of large malls and places to do.
Even though in the mall, there were a lot of people - doing the same thing, choosing gifts for friends and love ones, I enjoyed the atmosphere very much.
During the holiday, J also introduced me to her best friends, to the church and to her sister-in-law's family, it was really a cultural learning, while I could see and learn more then the course work. We did cooking, and she also taught me the needle work - I successfully made some needle works first for my life time!!
For the Christmas presents, I couldn't remember what I bought for J and her family members, but I remember very well that I got a lot of gifts from them, for Asian, we buy one gift for each person, but J - I didn't know whether it was her tradition or the cultures, she bought several for each persons, thus, there were plenty of gifts under the Christmas tress.
So lovely - as J was my roommate and she knew me well, she got the things I needed most, silk scarf, gloves, stockings.... wonderful presents, I really couldn't thank her enough, she really gave me a very unforgettable Christmas.
Though I know her finance was not very sound, she was so generous inviting me to join her family gathering, and let me experience the warm Christmas, I really appreciated a lot of her kindness.
I also enjoyed her traditional Christmas breakfast and big dinner - the big Turkey with cranberry sauce, the great dessert..... - she did everything for her family members, and I also took the advantage of enjoying it, for me, she really liked a dear aunt for me.
One thing I regretted the most, I know she had a collection on bells, and the time when I was travelling in Paris, I bought her one beautiful bell, and planned to offer her when I visited her.
The bad news from E few months later, J passed away because of a family inherited disease, she died in her early age. I was very regretted that I didn't get the chance to see her after my graduation, we only talked IDD for few time.
Still, I always miss her a lot. especially in the Christmas season!!
