What can the gigantic mat of workers of China achieve in the future?

It's interesting that so many Americans and Canadians worship the late Steve Jobs, who seems to be authoritarian without traces of being democratic in his management of virtually everything.

It seems that there's no much difference at all among the three adjectives -- 'green', 'greeny', and 'greenish'.

It seems that the number of people without long-term vision overbears that of people with it.

You want to strike a fine balance of paid attention between parochial concerns and global ones.

When our toddler daughter will be wearing a painting smock and painting, she'll be happy.

It's said that people who don't exercise and eat healthy food are more likely to become cancerous sooner or later.

Being a family man doesn't equal to being mostly for hearth and home.

The French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been described as "impetuous, disloyal, and un-French".

Well, that doesn't make the leadership of Sarkozy and Merkel, which is supposed to drag Europe out of the mess it's currently in, look hopeful.

Among the Christmas wreaths on the market, there's one kind which have a Christmas bow attached inside the ring. That's a selling point.

Music video - Alexander Borodin - Prince Igor - Polovtsian Dances

About the author (composer) Alexander Borodin:
He's a Russian. His main vocation was a professor of Chemistry at the Academy of Medicine in Russia. "Between 1859 and 1862 Borodin held a postdoctorate in (University of) Heidelberg", which is a world renowned university in Germany. Borodin "suffered poor health, having overcome cholera and several minor heart attacks. He died suddenly during a ball at the Academy, and was interred in Tikhvin Cemetery at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, in Saint Petersburg." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin )

Will Alberta's oil sand industry be arraigned for its environmental impact by future generations?

I always prefer coffee or anything over tea.

Gee. The name of the movie "Rice Rhapsody" (海南鸡饭) is so subtle and so good.

For the introduction of the flick, see http://movie.douban.com/subject/1309013/ .

'Rhapsodies' normally are big concert music pieces which are developed upon folk music pieces in a certain country, if my take isn't too far from the truth.

And I guess that the word 'rice' refers to 'sticky rice', which means "a homosexual Asian male who is sexually attracted exclusively to other homosexual Asian males". (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sticky%20rice )

In terms of the degree of people's abilities, this world can be so diverse and bipolar.

Some people are so formidably and deeply smart and capable, while some others are so incredibly incompetent on many aspects to the degree which beggars belief.

Well.

People who tend to be browbeaten by economic crises aren't fit to stay in a Capitalist country.

Just now, I've been doing the thing called "Display Color Calibration", which can be accessed from Control Panel --> Display, on my Windows 7 laptop.

And I have slightly disappointedly found out that there's no way to change the "Contrast" setting at all for laptop screens.

A DVD drive is not a fitting to be let go in the computer. Probably we'll need it for some occasions.
