like,love,deep love
当爱与痛的感觉从心中缓缓淌过,让我们用文字记录下这美妙心碎的一瞬间,万般滋味涌上心头,只讲给懂得的人听。
Like(喜欢)& Love(爱)& Deep Love(深爱)
Like(喜欢)
Like是人人都曾有过的经历。说实话,应该感谢上帝给了我们这种美好又纯洁的感觉,你会时时刻刻地想念他,想听到他的声音,想见到他,想和他交谈,想他,想他,想他… …除了想他你似乎别无他法,朦胧又充满激情,如同梦幻一般。听到他的声音才安心,看到他心里就泛起甜蜜的喜悦滋味,脸上不自觉地浮现出微笑,哪怕呆在身边什么都不做也仿佛置身于天堂。这时的爱似乎没有什么太具体的想法,就是渴望能同他在一起。如同上中学时,在上学路上看到对方,就会有一天24小时的甜蜜。
Love(爱)
记得看《玻璃樽》,里面舒淇一脸幸福地对梁朝伟说:“… … 有什么好看的东西都想给他看,什么好玩的都想买给他… …”梁说:“你是真的爱上他了… ”爱应该是这样的,你开始不自觉地为他做一些事情,他偶然说过的一句话你都会记在心里,他说过想要的一样东西你会跋山涉水 为他实现。你喜欢看他惊喜的表情,把他宠成小孩。你开始对他有了欲望。你想知道他的经历,他的过去,你想实现他的梦想, 你想让他开心,他的每一次皱眉都会揉碎你的心… …他不再是你时时刻刻想见到的人,他已经扎根在你的心里,哪怕相隔十万八千里,哪怕过去十七八年,你看到某一样事物心里还是会想起这是他喜欢的东西… …他已经成为你生命中的一部分,即使分开了也忘不掉,再碰到某个相似他的人都会令你留恋不已。如果你遇到了这样一个人,我该恭喜你,因为你是真真正正地去爱过了,也许你失去了他,可是你爱过!
Deep Love(深爱)
我该怎样形容这个程度的爱呢?像是情到浓处情转薄,不是激情不是瞬间迸发,它更内敛更深更平静,足以和岁月抗衡。也是一本书,里面的男主人公有过那么一段话(摘录原话):“我真的爱上了这个女人了。我不仅仅是想和她睡觉—当然这也是欲望之一,我更想做她的朋友,想和她一起看电视,一起逛街,她患感冒的时候用小勺喂她吃药;我想看她怎样刷牙,怎样提牛仔裤,又怎样在面包上涂黄油;我想听她问我橘红色的唇膏是否合适,该不该买刀片,以及我什么时候回家… …”是的,就是这些琐碎的事情。但没办法,这就是我们的日常生活,我们的生活就是由这些真实的琐碎组成的。有一天,你会想和他一起蜷在沙发上看那些又臭又长的电视剧,或者哪部好莱坞大片,哪部宫奇俊的动画;和他联手玩电脑游戏;和他一起听某某某的专集;看到笑话大声地讲给他听,一起笑,一起笑;和他一起吃午饭、晚饭、早饭,一起起床,赶班车;想他生病的时候给他喂药,陪他打针;和他商量吃什么晚饭,买什么衣服,如何过假期… …你如此地渴望和他一起分享这琐碎不堪的生活,无论泪水和欢乐你都希望能够同他一起分享,有他的日子是那样,那样的甜美… …
当你陷入这样的deep love,我不知该说些什么,也许你就此升入天堂,也许就会坠入地狱,我不知该恭喜你,还是该祝福你幸运些。因为他已经渗入到你每一个毛孔中,每一个细胞里,从发尖到灵魂… …爱也许会让你受重创,也许会让你成长… …
幸好,能让我们这样的人少之又少… …

Errors that people commit are either slips or mistakes. Slips arise from automatic processes; whereas mistakes arise from effortful processes.
Can I have caffeine?
Caffeine stimulates an overproduction of insulin, which ultimately promotes weight gain. The biggest need is to stop a caffeine addiction. Once you go 2 weeks without caffeine, you may have it again as long as you don't become dependent on it for energy.

by and large
i have been searching this word for long time.
HMO Pinafore?
Dear Word Detective: I do medical transcription and all of a sudden our docs are using the phrase "by and large." I called the library and was told this phrase had a nautical origin. Could you elaborate? I know there's been a resurgence of the Village People but are the docs wishing they were "In the Navy" by reviving this phrase? -- Stacy Brown, via the internet.
"By and large" is a slightly tricky phrase to explain. In its current popular usage, "by and large" is vagueness personified, and is used to mean "more or less" or "generally speaking" or "on the whole." Obviously I'm not privy to exactly how your doctors use the phrase, but I imagine it crops up in sentences such as "By and large, we have found our patients pay their bills more promptly when we explain that if they don't we will keep their clothes and make them ride the bus home wearing that silly paper gown."
In its original nautical usage, however, "by and large" had a fairly precise meaning. One of the trickiest courses to sail is almost directly into the wind, a maneuver called "close hauling" because the sails are angled tight against the wind. Close hauling requires an experienced sailor at the helm because of the danger of being "taken aback," or having the sails blown back against the ship's masts, halting the ship's progress. Sailing close hauled into the wind is also called sailing "close and by," the "by" meaning "in the direction of" in this context.
If the sailor at the helm were not an experienced salt, the Captain might prudently forego sailing "close and by" and instead order a less demanding course of "by and large." This means to sail in the general direction of the wind, but not so close as to run the risk of being taken aback. "By and large" first appeared in naval terminology in 1669, but was so obviously a useful metaphor that landlubbers were using it to mean "in general" by about 1833.

TIME Asia Magazine: A New Terror Tactic? -- Nov. 17, 2003: "The Indonesian island has long been a cauldron of Muslim-vs.-Christian violence. More than 1,000 people were killed there from 1999 to 2001. After at least a year and a half of calm, masked gunmen recently murdered 12 Christian villagers in two attacks, with most of the killings happening on Oct. 12?the first anniversary of the Bali blasts. Jakarta launched a massive manhunt for the shooters, and the effort yielded quick results. Police killed six alleged gunmen in a firefight on Oct. 16 and arrested 17 others. "
FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE (An Illusion review by Joan Ellis.): "FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE
A Illusion review by Joan Ellis.
Throughout its great length and bulk, 'Farewell My Concubine' chronicles the path of modern Chinese history on one hand and the arduous path that carries two young men from apprenticeship to stardom in Chinese opera on the other. It's hard to say which is the more grueling ordeal.
Their journey would be story enough to sustain this film that was co-winner of the Grand Prize at the Cannes Festival, but something far more disturbing is going on here in the form of massive cross cultural shock. The tale of the two boys details the awful brutality that permeates their training. The realization that brutality is the accepted norm washes over a westerner who waits and hopes in vain for some restraining force that never comes. What sets in is the chilling certainty that human life is valued very differently in the two cultures.
Director Chen Kaige has directed an excellent cast in a grand historical drama, but perhaps his greater service is that he alerts Americans and Europeans to the profound differences that will confront us as two ancient cultures meet and begin to interact in the next millennium. "

Composition of Cow milk and Goat milk
Average cow milk contains about 12.2% dry matter
(3.2% protein, 3.6% fat 4.7% lactose, 0.8% mineral matter)
Average goat milk contains about 12.1% dry matter
(3.4% protein, 3.8% fat, 4.1% lactose, 0.8% mineral matter)
Special characteristics that gives goat milk a place for special purposes.
More easily digestible fat and protein content
Increased digestibility of protein inportant to infant diets
Better buffering quality, good for treatment of ulcers and other stomach upsets
In under-developed countries or is low meat diets, can be an important source of protein, phosphate and calcium
The average size of the fat globules is about 1/3 to 1/2 smaller in goat milk than in cow milk. This allows goat milk to be digested sooner causing less allegeric reaction. Also there is a agglutinin in cow milk that is not present in goat milk. This will cause the cow milk to cluster in the stomach making it more difficult to digest. Therefore goat milk is easier and faster to digest.

Euphrosyne.
A drug mentioned in the Odyssey as a remedy for grief.
Something that induces forgetfulness of sorrow or eases pain.
Acupuncture - Wikipedia: "Acupuncture (from Lat. acus, 'a needle', and pungere, 'to prick') is the practice of inserting very thin needles in particular points on the body to improve health and well-being, and is one component of traditional Oriental medicine. It has long been used by the Chinese for a wide variety of health complaints, and is practised throughout Asia. The practice of acupuncture is at least 2000 years old. Forms of acupuncture are also described in the literature of the traditional medicine of India. "
A man from Norfolk, VA called a local radio station to share this on Sep11th, 2003. His Name was Robert Matthews. These are his words:
"A few weeks before Sept 11th, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her sister.
On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a safe trip and be with her. Shortly after I said 'amen' we both heard a loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire. I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her flight. Both very upset, we drove home. I received a call from my father who was retired FDNY. He asked what my wife's flight number was, but explained that we missed the flight.
My father informed me that her flight was the one that crashed into the southern tower. I was too shocked to speak. My father also had more news for me; he was going to help. 'This is not something I can just sit by for, I have to do something.' I was concerned for his safety, of course, but more because he had never given his life to Christ.
After a brief debate, I knew his mind was made up. Before he got off of the phone, he said, 'take good care of my grandchild.' Those were the last words I ever heard my father say; he died while helping in the rescue effort. My joy that my prayer of safety for my wife had been answered quickly became anger. Anger at God, at my father, and at myself. I had gone for nearly 2 years blaming God for taking my father away. My son would never know his grandfather, my father had never accepted Christ, and I never got to say goodbye.
Then something happened. About 2 months ago, I was sitting at home with my wife and my son, when there was a knock on the door. I looked at my wife, but I could tell she wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door to a couple with a small child. The man looked at me and asked if my father's name was Jake Matthews. I told him it was. He quickly grabbed my hand and said, 'I never got the chance to meet your father, but it is an honor to meet his son.'
He explained to me that his wife had worked in the World Trade Center and had been caught inside after the attack. She was pregnant and had been caught under debris. He then explained that my father had been the one to find his wife and free her. My eyes welled up with tears as I thought of my father giving his life for people like this. He then said, 'there is something else you need to know.' his wife then told me that as my father worked to free her, she talked to him and lead him to Christ. I began sobbing at the news.
Now I know that when I get to heaven, my father will be standing beside Jesus to welcome me, and that this family would be able to thank him themselves."
When their baby boy was born, they named him Jacob Matthew in honor of the man who gave his life so mother and baby could live.
This story should help us to realize two things: First, that though it has been two years since the attacks, we should never let it become a mere tragic memory. And second, but most important, God is always in control. We may not see the reason behind things, and we may never know this side of heaven, but God is ALWAYS in control.
Please take time to share this amazing story with those you love. You may never know the impact it may have on someone.
Greatly blessed, highly favoured, deeply loved and completely protected

Strong Earthquake Hits Northeastern Japan
TOKYO - A strong earthquake shook northeastern Japan on Sunday, the Meteorological Agency said, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The temblor was centered 19 miles beneath the seabed off the coast of Fukushima prefecture on Japan's main island, about 149 miles northeast of Tokyo. It had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6.
The agency said there was no danger of tsunami - powerful ocean waves caused by seismic activity.
An earthquake of magnitude 5 can cause considerable damage to homes and buildings if it occurs in a populated area.

Subject: Fw: Why does woman cry!
"Why do you cry?" a boy asked his mom.
一個男孩問他的媽媽:" 你為甚麼要哭呢?"
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
媽媽說:"因為我是女人啊."
"I don't understand," he said.
男孩說:"我不懂.
His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will"
他媽媽抱起他說:"你永遠不會懂得."
Later the little boy aske d his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no
reason?"
後來小男孩就問他爸爸:"媽媽為甚麼毫無理由的哭呢?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
"所有女人都這樣."他爸爸回答.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
小男孩長成了一個男人,但仍就不懂女人為甚麼哭泣.
Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on the phone,he asked,
"God, why do women cry so easily?"
最後,他打電話給上帝;當上帝拿起電話時,他問道:"上帝,女人為甚麼那麼容易哭泣呢?"
God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle
enough to give comfort"
上帝回答說:"當我創造女人時,讓她很特別.我使她的肩膀能挑起整個世界的重擔;並且,又柔情似水
"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that
many times comes from her children"
我讓她的內心很堅強,能夠承受分娩的痛苦和忍受自己孩子多次的拒絕."
"I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else
gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without
complaining "
我賦予她耐心使她在別人放棄的時候繼續堅持,並且無怨無悔的照顧自己的家人渡過疾病和疲勞.
"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly"
我賦予她在任何情況下都會愛孩子的感情,即使她的孩子傷害了她.
"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned
her from his rib to protect his heart"
我賦予她包容她丈夫過錯的堅強和用他的勒骨塑成她來保護他的心.
"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly"
我賦予她智慧讓她知道一個好丈夫是絕不會傷害他的妻子的,但有時我也會考驗她支持自己丈夫的決心和堅強.
"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."
最後,我讓她可以流淚.只要她願意.這是她所獨有的.
"You see: The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure
that she carries, or the way she combs her hair."
你看,女人的漂亮不是因為她穿的衣服,她保持的體型或者她梳頭的方式.
"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway
to her heart * the place where love resides."
女人的漂亮必須從她的眼睛中去看,因為那是她心靈的窗戶和愛居住的地方
每一個女人都漂亮
當我創造天地時,我說有了,就有了;
當我造男人時,我造他並將生命的氣息氣吹入他鼻裡。
然而,在創造妳──女人時,我是在賦予男人生命後才造妳,
因妳的精緻需要精心雕琢。
我使男人沈睡,好讓我能耐心完美地塑造妳;
使男人沈睡,好使他不能干預創造的工作。
我選一根骨頭造妳,就是那根保護男人生命之骨。
那保護他心,肺,與支撐他的「肋骨」,也是妳的使命
藉著這骨,我模塑妳,將妳造得完美而漂亮;
妳的特質,如肋骨般--堅強,精緻,卻易碎。
妳,保護男人最精緻的器官--心,肺;
心是那他全人的核心,肺是他生命的氣息;
意外來時,整副肋為了保護心,會先容自己斷裂。
妳要支持男人如肋排支撐身體。
妳,既非取自他的腳骨,使妳比他卑下;
妳,亦非取自他的頭骨,使妳比他優越;
妳乃出自他的旁側,那使妳與他並列,貼近他心的身旁。
妳是我完美的天使。是我美麗的小女孩。
我將一切渴望與亞當分享的經歷與本性,
融入妳裡面--我的聖潔,我的力量,我的純正,我的保護與扶持。
妳,是特別的,因妳是我的延伸。
男人為我的形象,妳為我的情感。
妳們二人結合,代表上帝的整體。
故此,男人啊!要善待女人。
愛她,尊敬她,因她是脆弱的。
傷害她,就等於傷害我,
你對她所做的,就等於對我做的。
當你壓榨她,你是在傷害自己的心與你們天父的心。
女人啊!要扶持男人,在謙卑中向他顯示我所給你的情感與能力;
在溫柔嫻靜中展現妳的力量;
在愛中向他顯示,你是保護他內在自我的--「肋骨」。
