Desktop for 2009.04

Hopefully you've all had a chance to play with the 2008.11 release for
a couple of weeks now. For some of us, that means it's time to start
thinking about 2009.04 :)
Obviously, we have a somewhat compressed schedule for the April
release (especially with the intervening holiday season), so in
addition to sticking with GNOME 2.24 this time around, we don't have a
huge scope for desktop enhancements. However, if you have any desktop
issues, tweaks or other suggestions that you haven't already filed a
bug at defect.opensolaris.org, this week would be a good time to do
so-- we're starting work on the 2009.94 UI spec right about now.

I Love ...

As an ice breaker, I would like to introduce myself from the following four aspects: my name, my education, my family and my hometown.

My name is Cai Qingming. Some Chinese like to name their children in Chinese idioms. For example, in a family with surname Zhang, if there are 4 children, they may be called Zhang Wen, Zhang Wu, Zhang Shuang and Zhang Quan. Their given names come from a Chinese idiom "Wen Wu Shuang Quan" which means well versed in both polite letters and martial arts. There are 3 children in my family, my elder brother's name is "Cai QingDong", my elder sister's name is "Cai LiFang" and my name is "Cai Qingming", our last characters in names make up of a Chinese idiom "Dong Fang Ming", means the orient is brilliant. If I were a girl, I guess that my parents must name me "Hong", then the idiom becomes "Dong Fang Hong" which is the song that was played by the first China man-made satellite.

My Family

My wife and I have been married for two years. She is so lovely that anyone who knows her will like her. She is also good-looking, which I can't match. What always makes me annoyed is that when many people meet us first time, they may think she must have married a rich man. But the fact is not.

Both My wife and I like playing badminton. Our courtship also started from the badminton. That was about several years ago we fell in love during a badminton activity. So far, we still keep the habit of playing badminton every week. She has become one of the outstanding amateur female players, but I am still at the same level as before.

Another common hobby of us is singing. We look at singing not just as a way of relaxation, but a kind of physical exercise as well. My wife is good at singing popular songs, while folk songs are my departments. Sometimes we will go out for karaoke with friends and we often perform the wonderful duets.

My Education

I was born in a poor family in a small town of north east of China. Every one in 1970's can imagine how poor the life was at that time in China. Especially for a common family with 3 children who needed to finish their education. In my memory, at that time, even a 5-cent ice cream seemed luxurious for me. My grandfather had told me something that I will never forget "We will send you to college even by selling our iron pots". This was encouraging me to keep going forward in my education. Now I feel appreciative that I could finish my education successfully. I also thank my grandfather and my parents so much for their support and dedication.

My Hometown

Located in the central west of Jilin Province, the city of Songyuan has an area of 22,000 square kilometers and a population of 2.62 million. It is richly endowed by nature and has always been known as "an oil city, a grain store, a meat store, a sea of forest and a fish producer." Songyuan enjoys convenient transportation and modern communication facilities. Urban construction has changed the city's outlook with each passing day, while people's livelihood has improved year by year. At present, the overall economic strength of Songyuan holds the fourth place among cities in the province.

Beautiful Songyuan City has its unique tourism resources. Songhua River flows through the municipal region. There are a lot of sightseeing sites along the river, which form a scenic line.

In Chagan Lake, one of the top ten famous fresh water lakes in the nation, there are all kinds birds and fishes. The famous actress "Gao Xiumin" came from SongYuan and her TV serial "At the bank of the Holy Water Lake" was filmed on the location of Chagan Lake. In addition, there are also many historical spots in Song-yuan, such as Triumph Eulogy Stele of Jin Dynasty, Tahu-cheng Ruin, Ruin of Liaojin. They are all among the nation's key protected cultural relics.

In 2008, SongYuan city was luckily selected as one of the torch relay cities. Through this activity, the city will become well-known around China even the world.

Overall, I am absolutely a common person which may not leave you much impression. But you should know that I'm the same as most of Chinese people, I love my family, I love my hometown and I love my China. I am proud of them!

This book tooks 2 years to write, compile and edit. It has been a true labor of love for all of us. One the greatest joys in creating this book has been working with hundreds of teenagers and adults who gave this project not just their time and attention, but their hearts and souls as well. We would like to thank the following people for their dedication and contributions, without which this book could not have been created.

Thanks again for giving us the space, time and emotional support we needed to follow our passion and complete what must have seemed like an endless task. We love you all more thatn words can ever express.

We would like to extend a very special thanks to a group of teens who worked with us to ensure this book would be about issues that truly concern teenagers.

Summer Moview Magic - Day 3 20080524

[news:/s/00:39.8-00:43.6] Hi Friends, welcome back to SCW. My name is Vance.
[news:/s/00:43.6-01:04.6] And I'm Rachel. And thank you for joining us for day 3 of our lesson "Summer Movie Magic". Now we've told you about a lot of movies, we've told you about animated and comedies some very fast pact action and adventure movies and today we're going to continue talking about some of the movies that we will count the theatre this summer.
[news:/s/01:04.6-01:15.9] That's right,Rachel.After this article I'm getting ready to see a lot of movies after I find a baby-sitter of course for the girls. But I'm getting excited about some of these movies and really we can get a lot of fun watching them.
[news:/s/01:15.5-01:30.5] I agree. And some of the movies that we're going to talk about today which include fantasy and action also look very exciting. So make sure your magazines are open. Let's begin with our reading on page 38 in the right hand column starting on line 1.
[news:/s/01:30.5-03:10.0] More fantasy and action

Box office superstar Will Smith plays a hard-living superhero who seeks the help of a public relations consultant in Hancock. This fantasy adventure also costars Charlize Theron.

funnyman Steve Carell stars as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, in the comedy Get Smart. Bumbling Agent 86 and his beautiful partner, Agent 99 (played by Anne Hathaway), battle the evil organization KAOS in this film.

Brendan Fraser returns as Rick O’Connell in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. In the film, O’Connell and his son uncover the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin (played by Jet Li). The movie was filmed on location in China. Michelle Yeoh and Russell Wong costar in the film.

Fraser also stars in Journey 3-D, a new telling of the Jules Verne story of a trip to the center of the earth. There, a lost world awaits the team of explorers. The film’s special effects look especially dramatic in 3-D.See one or more of these films and enjoy this summer’s movie magic!

[news:/s/03:09.0-03:25.4] Hi welcome to the section on summer movie magic. We're looking at the section titled "More fantasy and action". Fantasy, we looked at that word earlier, the stories of magic and excitement and these alternate worlds, these alternate magic worlds.
[news:/s/03:25.0-03:52.9] That's right. Fantasy movies include things that probably wouldn't happen in the real life but we really like to watch them on the big screen. It's bringing the super natural to the movies. So the first movie we're going to talk about stars, a very popular man, in fact once I read him was one of the most recognize movie stars in the world. His name is Will Smith. And you probably all are familiar with him and he is definitely a box office superstar.
[news:/s/03:52.9-04:07.1] That's right. He's a box office super star if anybody can sell movie tickets, I read in this once in our article. Will Smith can, he can sell tickets to any kind of movie. People just love the guy. And really he is kind of funny. I like him too.
[news:/s/04:07.1-04:23.5] I like him as well. So he is a box office super star and in this movie he plays a hard-living superhero who seeks the help of a public relations consultant. And the movie is called Hancock. So the name of movie is Hancock and he plays a superhero.
[news:/s/04:23.5-04:38.0] That's right, but he is a hard-living superhero. He has difficult time in life. I think actually he kind of lives in some ways of a homeless man. And he doesn't only have it all together but he happens has the superpowers and he's a superhero.
[news:/s/04:38.0-05:01.7] Well let's look also at those words public relations and consultant. Consultant, he seeks the help of a public relations consultant.Now public relation sometimes is shorten to PR. And probably every company or organization has a PR department. And these are people, who work with public relations, and they work with others, and they're people persons.
[news:/s/05:01.4-05:25.4] That's right. They try to manage the relationship with the public, in the other words; they try to give a good image for the company. And this consultant, the consultant is somebody that is called in or brought in from the outside to help with that image. They want to create an image. So people view their company in a good way so they bring in somebody that knows things, that is an expert on this topic.
[news:/s/05:25.4-05:45.5] Ah, good word. Consultants are usually experts. And we also use the verb consult. If you consult with somebody then you're seeking their opinion or their advice. And so he meets with this public relations consultant. And this fantasy adventure also costars Charlize Theron. Did I say her name correctly?
[news:/s/05:45.2-05:55.5] I guess so. I don't know much about that this actual apparently she is very famous as well. And she's the costar. She also stars in this movie. She is the costar.
[news:/s/05:55.5-06:11.0] Alright. So let's move on to our next movie. Starting in line 7, we see a movie called "Get Smart". And this stars Funnyman Steve Carell. He is playing the role of Maxwell Smart, agent 86, in this comedy.
[news:/s/06:10.4-06:30.7] You know I remember Get Smart is an old TV show. And so in keeping with this popularity of re-making old TV shows into movies.” Get Smart" is joining the club, and Agent 86, and all the other Characters of course replayed by new people, but a little bit funning I think to see their interpretation of this old television show.

[news:/s/06:30.7-06:56.1] I agree. And we know that Steve Carell is a funnyman. (I,we) you notice that this word here combines those two words into actaully the decription of him. He's a funny man. So you can use this if you know an actor who just tends to do a lot of funny or silly movies. Maybe Jim Carell would also be known as a funnyman. But as to Steve Carell, he's definitely gotten quite popular in the last couple of years.

[news:/s/06:55.1-07:09.9] Yeah, actually I just saw a movie with him was "even all my dear".I think he was in that movie as well. And he is a funnyman, a comedian, somebody who likes to crack jokes. And there is a lot of funny expressions on his face and I really did laugh during that movie. He is a funny man.
[news:/s/07:09.4-07:28.1] He sure is. And in this current movie he is going to be a bumbling agent. So you know it's going to silly it's going to funny. If you're bumbling, then you lack physical movement with your skills or with your hands. You probably always triping or massing things up; you just can't seem to do the right thing.

[news:/s/07:27.7-07:37.0] Yeah. you might call him clumsy. He probably makes a lot of mistakes. But somehow he still plays the role this hero. He probabaly gets lucky a lot.

[news:/s/07:36.7-08:02.7] Hi, I agree. Well he is lucky enough to have a beautiful partner agent 86. They have this code name for that man. This is played by the beautiful Anne Hathaway. This is kind of a new role for her. I'v seen her in a lot of kind of romantic or more movies maybe more for girls, but anyway she is playing this action hero where she battles the evil organization KAOS Sir, something like that.

[news:/s/08:02.7-08:22.4] Yeah, KAOS probably stands for something. But if you read that word chaos, and of course, C-H-A-O-S, chaos, it's a word that means really, they're making masses, they're really intermaking the struction and creating distruction. So that probably says a lot of about organization right there.

[news:/s/08:22.4-08:40.4] Well that's good, Vance, because I didn't quite catch that word KAOS man. So now it makes a lot more sense to me. So anyway they're fighting this organization that's evil and this will be quite the funny movie. Well we need to visit the chatroom now and take a break, but don't go away because we're going to be right back.

Test Success

Don't live in fear of your next test. Overcome your fears, and ace your next exam by following these tips!

Before the test
Pay attention to the hints your teacher gives about an upcoming test. Write down exactly what you will be tested on. Knowing what the test will cover is half the battle.
Make a review sheet that includes important points from class and the reading material. Then your study notes will be in one place. Plus, rewriting the material will help you to remember it.
Don't cram! Test prepartion begins the first day of class, so do your reading assignments and homework consistently. Then you just need to review for the test - not learn all the material. Waiting until the night before to try to learn everything will only stress you out. Get a good night's sleep before the test, but if you can't, don't pull an all nighter.
Research shows that getting at least four hours of sleep produces the best test results. Eat a nourishing breakfast to keep your mind sharp. Avoid sugar, as it will hinder your ability to concentrate.
