昙花
昙花别名琼花、月下美人,属仙人掌科、昙花属。灌木状主茎圆筒形,木质。分枝呈扁平叶状,多具2棱,少具3翅,边缘具波状圆齿。刺座生于圆齿缺刻处。幼枝有刺毛状刺,老枝无刺。夏秋季晚间开大型白色花,花漏斗状,有芳香。原产墨西哥。喜温暖湿润和半阴环境。不耐霜冻,忌强光暴晒。宜含腐殖质丰富的沙壤土。冬季温度不低于5℃。 昙花枝叶翠绿,颇为潇洒,每逢夏秋夜深入静时,展现美姿秀色。此时,清香四溢,光彩夺目。盆栽适于点缀客室、阳台和接待厅。在南方可地栽,若满展于架,花开时令,犹如大片飞雪,甚为壮观。昙花的开花季节一般在6至10月,开花的时间一般在晚上8~9点钟以后,盛开的时间只有3~4个小时,非常短促。昙花开放时,花筒慢慢翘起,绛紫色的外衣慢慢打开,然后由20多片花瓣组成的、洁白如雪的大花朵就开放了。开放时花瓣和花蕊都在颤动艳丽动人。可是只3~4小时后,花冠闭合,花朵很快就凋谢了,真可谓“昙花一现”! 7月26日 Don't Speak Ill of the AbsentOften times, whatever you do, there are always some people not happy about it.
What's not normal is that those people turn around and spread bad words about you, unbeknownest to you.
What they don't realize, or maybe they know but they don't care, is that there are other people in the audiences who will eventually get those bad words back to you.
There are not really much you can do to those gossipers. Instead, try to STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, from those people.
What's outrageous is that sometimes those people appear to be professionals, but they are gossiping about their clients and divulge client details, a clear violation of professionalism. Those people are not real professionals, never do business with them again.
Finally, a reminder to myself, don't speak ill of the absent - 己所不欲勿施于人。 7月24日 油漆房间7月11日 DIY修车?看了“修车十大宰”一文,恐怖哦,看来真的得DIY修车?
该文好像是有道理的。以前我都去Dealer那里修车保养,刹车上就被宰过。上次临时去了附近的EZLube换油,那个差哦,换完油杆拔出来还是暗黑的,真让人怀疑有没有给我换了油。
赶明儿去买个Car Service Ramp,从自己换机油开始,然后再干复杂的。
以前自己换过车电池,air Filter,Windshield Wiper之类简单的,觉得蛮有意思的。 7月4日 为了忘却的纪念-观电影《暗物质》(Dark Matters)前一阵部分影院开始上映刘烨和梅丽尔·斯特里普联袂主演的《暗物质》(Liu Ye and Meryl Streep, Dark Matters(2008))。这个电影取材于1991年发生在University of Iowa的一个真实悲剧故事。北大学子卢刚因与导师和同学的矛盾升级,加上工作和生活不顺,在校园里枪杀华人同学山林华和三位老师及副校长,然后自己开枪自杀。卢刚事件因此而轰动全美,对华人社区的震惊与惶恐更是非同小可,国内当时也有许多报道。 当时各华文报刊几乎众口一辞,对卢刚其人痛加鞭笞,似乎是十恶不赦的。但也有少数为卢刚辩解,如刘予建的纪实小说《万圣悲魂》就较客观的反映了卢刚的生平和事件中一些鲜为人知的经过。这部电影基本接近该小说。 观后感:
7月2日 Mobile Messenger and SearchToday I spent some time exploring a few new mobile applications that I have been looking for. My phone is T-Mobile MDA (HTC) running Windows Mobile 5, with Edge data plan.
1. Mobile Instant Messenger (IM): There is Built-in MSN messenger in WM5, however I mainly use Yahoo Messenter. So I looked at 2 cross-platform IM mobile applications: IMOV and Palringo. Both combine several popular IM protocols such as Yahoo and MSN and AIM, Palringo even includes GTalk. IMOV is actually the mobile version of the popular desktop IM application Jabber. Since I use Jabber on my computers, so I picked IMOV.
After using IMOV for a few days now, I really like its online-all-the-time feature. When it is running on my mobile phone, it keeps the EDGE connection constantly on, so I don't have to worry about becomeing disconnected after long period of idle. Also, since the Jabber accommodates MSN services, it constantly checking my hotmail email box and sends notification when new mails arrive. Wonderful!
2. Mobile Local Search: lately there are 3 players in this competitive market: Google Map, Yahoo! Go, and Windows Mobile Live. I have Google Map installed before, so I reseached on Yahoo! Go and Mobile Live today.
Yahoo! Go: UI is impressive, basically includes all you have in Yahoo! Toolbar (emails, stock portfolio, news, sports), but Yahoo IM is still not integrated (see IM above) which is a bit disappointing. Installation can only use internal memory.
Mobile Live: compact and impressive, especially its voice-recognition in keywords search and support GPS position (knows where to start search), can use storage card member which is much better. I have to give Microsoft credit for its development of Mobile Live, it is a clear winner to Yahoo! Go.
