A picture obtained by TMZ apparently reveals Rihanna's facial injuries reportedly inflicted by her boyfriend Chris Brown. The awful image (full size after jump) would appear to confirm some rumors about the injuries.Confirmed: The "split lip," facial contusions on both sides of the face and "serious" swelling and bruising reported by TMZ previously. Also, bad swelling around the right eye, as reported by E!.
Not proven or disproven: A black right eye, as reported by E!; thesecan take time to emerge. A bloody nose, as reported by TMZ. It'spossible her nose stopped bleeding before the picture was taken; infact this would seem logical police procedure.
In any case, Rihanna's fairly horrific condition in the photo wouldseem to confirm her reported claim that Brown struck her with his fistsduring a fight in a Lamborghini on the eve of the Grammys. The eventwas ugly enough in words; an image is likely to further destroy fellowR&B singer Brown's career.
(Interestingly, TMZ isn't saying where it got the photo. Best guess:It's a police shot provided to document the injuries, while fresh, forpossible prosecution of Brown. The dark background and apparent heavyflash reflection off Rihanna's skin seem to suggest a picture taken inthe field, i.e. on the street immediately after the incident.)

I love you more than I can say是首挺老的情歌.
旋律轻快,歌词简单.
男孩一边深情款款的念叨着I love you more than I can say,
一边忧心忡忡的疑问am I just another guy?
保守年代,常看到有色心没色胆的拿这句话遮脸,不是我不想表白,而是我的感情已经上升到了匮乏的语言无法胜任的地步,所以......
大多数的时候还是I can say more than I can　love的比较吃香吧

Storm clouds build for providers and software vendors as Microsoft plans change of license fee pricing sending a cold chill up the back of the industry

Many providers are seeing the proposed increase in price of almost 4 times the current not-for-profit rate as a money grab without any visible productivity improvement or value enhancement.
Price increased associated with any product or service is usually coupled with some form of productivity improvement or value adds which justifies a moderate price increase. These increases are sometimes indexed to reflect an increase in the cost of production. The fuel level in the airline industry is a clear example of an understandable increase in travel cost. But when an increase of around 400 percent is not explained and is presented in a ‘take it or leave it’ manner in an environment where alternatives are limited, then the big chill forming across the industry could turn technology investment into an ice age experience.
The impact of Microsoft’s initiative will create significant loss of trust between respected global giant who boasted support for the most vulnerable in our society and the aged care providers who genuinely and directly provides that support. Many providers will be shocked when they realise the extent of the increase in license costs and will wonder what in the world could possible justify such a significant increase.
Many feel betrayed and insulted at the November press release by Microsoft that questioned the integrity of some providers insinuating they had deliberately flaunted the long standing license agreement conditions to make company gains.
Once this trust is broken the winds of change will blow for many providers who will reassess their whole of business planning to ensure they are no longer held to ransom in such a manner. But the ramification for the aged care industry is far more that the increase of license fee upon an individual provider, it extends to the software vendors and their viability as dedicate suppliers of efficiencies tools created over years of engagement with providers.
The reality of the aged care technology market is such that if any vendor with a dominant position (in this case Microsoft better than 85% penetration) increases its price by such an inordinate percentage the other vendors, the majority of which have built their applications on the Microsoft platform, will not escape being impacted.
This impact will come in two ways; firstly, their prospective buyers – the aged care providers, will have a lesser amount to spend and the decision to spend will be extended as they revise their IT strategy. Secondly, the cost of their product will either rise or they will have to absorb the increased cost of production. So a best case scenario for the vendor is a slower decision making environment and an increased sell price. Worst case scenario is slower decision making, increased cost of production and fewer sales.
All sounds like the ingredients for turmoil, mayhem and ultimately consolidation.
Among this turmoil and mayhem alternative solutions will emerge and they are likely to come from the Open Source environment. This environment has matured in leaps and bounds in recent years and is now a genuine alternative for those wishing to through off the Microsoft shackles and manages their IT risk differently.
Very soon the industry will need to have a discussion about what constitutes a viable software vendor landscape and retain the variation of ideas whilst continuing to stimulate innovation and the excellence which we have come to expect from our dedicate vendors.

Oh Miley                                                        I am so upset by Miley Cyrus, I think it warrants a song!
Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise
I wasn’t necessarily a fan of
Her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas!
Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley
Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!
All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!

lol at the cat
greg posted this on February 10, 2009

I think cats are smart. I grew up with cats as pets, so I have plenty of anecdotal evidence.

Mycat, Miles, was not what you would call "active." A very rotund fella,he peaked out around 25 pounds (before he went on a strict diet andexercise regimen), and his favorite activity was lying on his backdoing nothing while people rubbed his belly. So I never thought he wasparticularly bright.



But when properly motivated, he turned into a problem-solver extraordinaire.

Itypically fed Miles right after I woke up, so he developed quite anassortment of tricks to get me out of bed in the morning. I hadcountermeasures for pretty much all of them.

Purring in my ear - Ignore until he gives up
Licking my face - Harder to ignore, so I cover my head with the sheet
Nibbling my exposed fingers after I pull the sheet over my head - Use the pillow as a shield
Burrowing under the covers and head-butting me - Wrap blanket tightly around my body and close all access points

When direct methods didn't work, Miles would resort to noisemaking tactics, but I found ways to deal with those as well.

Sit next to the window and bat at the blinds - Move the furniture to put them out of reach
Smack the spring doorstop so that it TWANGS - I removed that doorstop in a jiffy!
Rattle any closed doors against their door jambs - Felt pads are effective

But one time, Miles did something I did not think a cat could have figured out.

Oneearly morning I woke up because my phone was ringing, but when I pickedup the cordless receiver next to my bed, there was nobody there. Mildlyannoyed, but now awake, I started my morning routine.

Strangely,the next morning the same thing happened. Early morning prank callswere too juvenile, even for my friends, so I assumed someone wascalling the wrong number and was too embarrassed to acknowledge it. Notbeing a morning person, I wasn't pleased.

When the same thinghappened the following morning, I was so frustrated that I decided towalk over to the phone and unplug the darn thing. That's when I noticedMiles, standing on top of the base unit and, apparently, pressing the"page" button.

Coincidence, you say? He just happened to stepon the phone and it woke me up, but it was an accident? I thought sotoo. So I tested it out.

I didn't unplug the phone, and the nextmorning I heard the ringing again. But this time I didn't move. Ipeeked out from under the covers silently observing as Miles patientlymanned his post, perched on top of my phone, for no less than a fullhalf hour. Exasperated and awed, I finally gave in and sat up in bed.Then, as nimbly and matter-of-factly as could be expected from a20-something-pound cat, he hopped over to my bed and gave me a lookthat was part "feed me" and part "I gotcha!"

I promptly dug through my closet, found the extra hardware that came with the phone, and mounted it on my wall.

Do you have any pets who do crazy things? Feel free to share. I always like a good pet story.

Greg

   Brain drain is a delicate with which this country is confronted. On the one hand, more and more college students who are excellent prefer choosing to study abroad. However, after several years, these students don’t tend to come back to homeland. On the other hand, some people prefer spending such much money to work abroad and get a developed country’s nationality.
   What are the causes of brain drain? For one thing, there is a little of respect for brain in this society. And the higher education students get no fame and fortune which they should get. For another, supplying a better atmosphere of studying at abroad, brain can gain more academic achievements. Finally, lack of money to research work in this countries, the brain have to study abroad. For instance, there is a little money for institutes in this countries.
   To sum up, firstly, we should give more respect for brain. Secondly, this government had better to supply a better atmosphere of studying for brain. Consequently, I’m confindent that a bright future for the development of this brain in this countries.

Journey through the history of Zorro as the different versions of Zorro are compared and contrasted and see how the legend of Zorro has changed and developed throughout nearly 90 years of cinema, television, and stories.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel"-1905
This romantic novel of love, betrayal, and intrigue by the Baroness Orczy was most likely Johnston McCulley's inspiration for Zorro.

"The Curse of Capistrano" by Johnston McCulley-1919
This serialized story by Johnston McCulley first introduced the character of Zorro.  The story originally appeared as a serialized story in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly in 1919.  It was later released as a novel under the name The Mark of Zorro.

"the mark of zorro"-1920
Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. brings fame to McCulley's creation by starring as Don Diego Vega and Zorro in this 1920 movie.  Fairbanks is lauded for his humorous portrayal of the lifeless Don Diego and the playful Zorro.

"Don Q,Son of Zorro"--1925
This film starring Douglas Fairbanks has very little to do with Zorro and was mainly a way to cash in on the success of the 1920 film.  Nevertheless, it is an excellent film and does have several great references to the 1920 Zorro film.
  
  
The Bold Caballero - 1936
Robert Livingston stars as the first talking Zorro in this 1936 film.  The story and setting are different from the typical Zorro; the film is set in San Diego where Zorro has been captured and is to be executed.
   
  
Zorro Rides Again - 1937
This first movie serial stars John Carroll as a singing cowboy Zorro.  This version bills itself as a "modern Zorro" in which Zorro is seen not only in an old west setting but also alongside cars, trains, and skyscrapers in the big city.
   
  
Zorro's Fighting Legion - 1939
Starring in what is considered to be one of the finest movie serials of all time, Reed Hadley plays a confident and decisive Zorro who faces some of the most difficult predicaments that any Zorro ever faces.
   
  
The Mark of Zorro - 1940
This film starring Tyrone Power is considered by many critics to be a cinematic masterpiece.  The film expands on McCulley's original Zorro legend and brings greater depth to the character.
   
  
Zorro's Black Whip - 1944
Linda Stirling stars as a Zorro-like character in this 1944 release.  Even though the name Zorro appears nowhere but in the title, this serial must be considered a version of Zorro since Johnston McCulley is mentioned in the credits.
   
  
Son of Zorro - 1947
George Turner stars as Jeff Stewart, a descendant of the original Zorro, in this movie serial set in post-Civil War America.  Jeff must fight bandits who have the entire county at their mercy.
   
  
Ghost of Zorro - 1949
Clayton Moore stars as Ken Mason, the grandson of Don Diego Vega, who resurrects Zorro to fight the men who are trying to keep the telegraph out of New Mexico.
   
  
Walt Disney's Zorro - 1957 to 1959
Guy Williams creates a new generation of Zorro fans with his memorable portrayal of Don Diego and Zorro in Walt Disney's adaptation of the legendary masked hero.
   
  
The Mark of Zorro - 1974
This made-for-television film starring Frank Langella uses much of the same script and music as the 1940 Zorro film with the most obvious difference being that several scenes have been removed.
   
  
Zorro - 1974
This foreign film starring Alain Delon incorporates several elements of McCulley's original story into a new setting in South America and heralds a return to the more playful aspects of the Zorro legend.
   
  
Zorro, The Gay Blade - 1981
This film starring George Hamilton is a satirical and comedic look at the legend of Zorro.  Hamilton plays dual roles as Don Diego and as Don Diego's flamboyantly gay brother Bunny Wigglesworth.
   
  
Zorro and Son - 1983 television series
This short-lived television series starring Henry Darrow is a situation comedy with rhyming lines and slapstick comedy which continues the new era of playful Zorros.
   
  
The New World Zorro - 1990 to 1993 television series
This adaptation of Zorro has the same general premise as the Disney series except that this Zorro is even more kinder and gentler.  Additionally, the ongoing romance plays a very important role in the overall premise.
   
  
The Mask of Zorro - 1998
Antonio Banderas plays Alejandro Murrieta who takes on the mask of Zorro as he helps Don Diego de la Vega seek his revenge for the loss of his wife and daughter many years ago.
   
  
The Legend of Zorro - 2005
Antonio Banderas reprises his role as Don Alejandro and Zorro in this sequel to the 1998 film.  Zorro faces the loss of his family as a group of religious fanatics threaten the statehood of California.
   
  
Zorro:  La espada y la rosa - 2007
Christian Meier stars in this Spanish telenovela which aired on the Telemundo network.  This story bends history and creates a fantasy setting in which anything can happen.
   


Summary:
A Comparison Between the Disney and New World Versions of Zorro

Opinions are requested from people who have viewed both the Disney series and the New World series.  I am most interested in hearing from Disney fans.

The Development of Zorro

The changes occurring in the legend of Zorro between 1919 and 1993 are summarized.

We spent most of the Super Bowl crossing our fingers that we'd get to see some sexy ads (we didn't). If only we'd been in Tucson—we could have seen some honest-to-goodness porn!

Or at least pornstar penis, in any case. During the final few minutes of the game, Comcast subscribers had their broadcast interrupted by none other than Evan Stone. Check the video above to relive the magic—and hey, can anyone identify what porn the clip is from?

UPDATE: The clip is reportedly from Club Jenna's "18 'n' Up Wet Poons." And check out what Evan had to say about his 30 seconds of football stardom.

UPDATE 2: Check out Evan Stone's last brush with mainstream stardom on South Park. And, our good friend Violet Blue reports that the clip was originally from "Wild Cherries 4," which Club Jenna then repackaged.

2 February 2009


Premier Wen Jiabao of The People’s Republic of China made the trip from London to the University of Cambridge this afternoon despite the snowstorm to give the prestigious Rede Lecture at West Road Concert Hall.


He spoke to a packed and receptive international audience of more than 500 staff and students about the history of development in China, the challenges ahead and the present financial crisis. The lecture was entitled: "See China in the Light of Her Development".

He then responded to questions from the audience.

His lecture was briefly interrupted by a member of the audience who was removed from the lecture by University Proctors and has subsequently been arrested by Police on suspicion of breach of the peace and attempted assault.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alison Richard, said: "We were much honoured that Premier Wen gave the Rede Lecture this afternoon, and I was delighted to accept his gift of the China Digital Library, in recognition of the University's 800th Anniversary.

"I deeply regret that a single member of the audience this afternoon failed to show the respect for our speaker that is customary at Cambridge. This university is a place for considered argument and debate, not for shoe-throwing."
