老歌·母亲节联想
《母亲教我的歌》
曲:安东尼·德沃夏克(Antonín Dvořák, 1841-1904)
词:阿多尔夫·海杜克(Adolf Heyduk, 1835-1923)
原词(德文):
Als die alte Mutter mich noch lehrte singen,
tränen in den Wimpern gar so oft ihr hingen.
Jetzt, wo ich die Kleinen selber üb im Sange,
rie-selt's in den Bart oft, rie-selt's oft
von der braunen Wange.
中译:
当我幼年的时候
母亲教我歌唱
在她慈爱的眼里
隐约闪着泪光
如今我教我的孩子们唱这首难忘

梦冉,有幸也看到佳照,很古典!timeless! 再恭喜。
应该把方舟子的议论请出这条线,至少给新人一点恭敬。

AAS在80年时有没有“Senior Member”不知道,现在没有。估计彭先生说的相当於现在的“Assoicate Member”(没有博士学位但活跃于该行且对该学科有贡献的28岁以上的会员。详见:http://www.aas.org/membership/classes.php )
像所有的学科会员一样,会员都不是荣誉和资历的标志。入会时需要有行内人的提名、认可或者批准,跟入高尔夫俱乐部或是入住纽约市一些公寓楼(Co-Ops)需要的提名、认可或者批准没有太大的差别,都是光交钱是不行的。但他们都有相同之处:成了会员后,不交钱是不行的。年费不交,会员身分便不保了。现在名册里找不到彭先生,说

Kids need free play time, grow-ups too. We need to spend some time to do nothing, think nothing, expect nothing, just nothing, aimless, ..., null, void.

是靓MM,但实在是没有那种“国风”,画不配诗。
像是补了一块现代的亮丽玻璃砖或瓷砖(porcelain)在一堵大半世纪旧、但依旧典美的石墙上。
这样稍有些清扬(但仍没有诗景):

野有蔓草
【诗经·国风·郑风】
野有蔓草,零露漙兮。有美一人,清扬婉兮。邂逅相遇,适我愿兮。
野有蔓草,零露瀼瀼。有美一人,婉如清扬。邂逅相遇,与子偕臧。
谁来用英文译这首?

上亿的本就没几个,百亿就更少了。只是研究表明,五万以上钱财再多也不能带来更多快乐。尚不如一篇小叶,一朵小花,一片浮云……快乐的密匙在每个人的手里……顶七月,做个快乐的人。

读来像读诗经,绘形绘色。
田字草是什么草?
也曾经观赏过小葉,不过只是在房前房后的:
某种fern,不知跟蕨菜有没有干系。
beech(櫸?)的百折綠裙。
哈,叫不出名字。
很普遍的荫生植物,名字待查。
园丁告诉过名字的,已经忘了,xw定是一看就知道了。
weeping cherry
丁香!
闭着眼也知道是玫瑰:-)

Saw "Bee Movie" yesterday on election day. If you like Jerry Seinfeld, or you don't like Jerry Seinfeld, don't watch it. I thought there would be more bee magic or bee power dug up by Seinfeld. My daughter liked it, no killings, nor violence, nor cruelness, nor bad language, like that in the "happy feet" movie. The plot, very ADD, Jerry ADD, I should say.:)

若玫字很美,犹如她的生命。她的离去加上人们能仅读到的她96年的文字使她了成为一个永恒的神话。
情深不寿? 而且红颜命薄?我有切肤之感。
一个中学好友,一大学同班,一朋友爱女,三个城市,都是顶尖靓女才女,却皆华年早逝--11岁、21、22岁,痛煞了周围许许多多的人。二十年过去了,对于她们,提起来,认识的人人对她们的颜美情深仍记忆犹新,犹在眼前。她们人不在了,但活在人们心中。
若没的实体,永留的魂灵。有情自在若有若没之中。

二流物理学家,一流科普作家:George Gamow
Russian-born American nuclear physicist known for his work on radioactivity and genetic information as well as his books popularizing theories of physics.
This is a very fun and great book to read:
Thirty Years That Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory, 1966, Dover Publications, ISBN 0-486-24895-X.
It ends with a dramatic playscript (also illustrated) of the history of atomic physics with the scientists cast in roles after the model of Goethe's Faust

Only one TV station mentioned "Chinese national", "from Shanghai" only means the flight of his entry was from Shanghai.

That was my first reaction too, but i also saw that in one of the Disney Cruise ship (on TV though), so I figure there are many places with that. It is by a famous glass maker.

Every war survivors has been transformed, one way or another, and none of that was easy to bear. Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" was his way out of that darkness, the heavy absolute darkness from war, and he came out with a kind of invincible black humor.

The ID skyfrog and the greeting from xw remind me of the frogs in David Wiesner's book "Tuesday".

If you say there is something in common between people that brings people here together, between you and me, this must be the thing.
My duaghter loves to read dictionary, directory, almanac, ..., these kinds of "books", kinds of strange taste...

美国二战后政府侧重发展公路和空航,更主要的原因是美国人口密度很小。高速铁路营运成功的都是人口密集的国家和地区。日本,法国,荷兰,德国,瑞士,等等。美国现在只有波士顿、纽约和华盛顿之间有高速铁路,主要是商业和政府人员的生意,而不是游客。南北加州在经济上没有足够的流通可以养得起高速铁路。政府硬要上,最后还是付税人掏腰包,恐怕是lost-lost case。

一直觉得老庄这许多“人种”很复杂同时很精细读不清楚,这篇读来也不长进。这个网站界面很简洁,内容一目了然,虽寄居于商业网站之下,却也不失雅致。谢谢推荐。

object-oriented (program language)是发散性思维的,而procedural则是循规蹈矩,按部就班的,aspect-oriented就没有切身体验了,终于落伍了。网络时代的IT三月抵以往一年,我这该是一落千丈了:-)

要我说这不过是商业现象,做宗教“生意”、事业的人在中国会越来越多。宗教岁入(revenue)在美国是非常非常大的一笔数。

小时去过两趟乡下,乡间捉吃田鸡是印象很深的事,现在每每看见超市大塑料盒里的田鸡就想起那“剝我的皮,抽我的筋,烧我的肉”的情形,心里便念起阿弥陀佛。
田鸡可以活三十六岁?

被称为“史上最牛钉子户”的重庆市民杨武、吴蘋夫妇在重庆轻轨杨家坪站旁边拥有一栋两层高、219平方米的小楼。2004年,由于此地要改建成为商场,杨吴二人收到拆迁通知书。但由于和发展商多次交涉未能达成一致的补偿协议,两人拒绝拆迁。
三年过去了,发展商为了不影响进度,动手在周边已拆迁地区进行地基开挖,结果形成了周边是深坑、唯有小屋孤伶伶立在中央的“奇观”。
