         <title>Which one will you choose, Joyo or Dangdang?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.joyo.com" target="_blank">Joyo</a> and <a href="http://www.dangdang.com" target="_blank">Dangdang</a>, are top 2&#160; book seller in China, but which one you will choose?</p>  <p>I ever made deals in these 2 sites. and after some deals, I choose Joyo. What does drive me make this decision? Please go to read more .</p>  <p>1) The site development</p>  <p>Compare to them, you will find Joyo is friendly to users. For example, if you want to search one book, Joyo will auto completes your search, and the list of result will be rendered to you, but Dangdang not.Besides for this, the result from Joyo are&#160; more exactly than Dangdang. </p>  <p>If you have made an order, which status the system will inform you?In general, If you ordered, the status is &quot;submitting&quot;, then &quot;processing&quot;,then &quot;delivering&quot;,then &quot;paid&quot;, then &quot;closed&quot;. Joyo processes it as what I said. But Dangdang is &quot;submitting&quot; from when you order to when you pay for. How about your thoughts? If you would like to know the status of your order, &quot;submitting&quot; is still for you in Dangdang.</p>  <p>The UI of Joyo is easier than Dangdang .</p>  <p>&#160;</p>  <p>2) The service</p>  <p>I think the service from Joyo is better than Dangdang. If you call Joyo's customer service, the staff are patient to solve your problem. While Dangdang not.</p>  <p>The package is very good by Joyo, but Dangdang sometimes pack your book simply.</p>  <p>&#160;</p>  <p>Although the price in Joyo is a little more expensive than Dangdang, I like Joyo with its service,and friendly web site.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Linksys Router ,Bad!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I just made a fresh copy of OS on my laptop yesterday, and the first thing to do was configuring the router in order to access Internet. To my disappointed, I could connect to the Linksys router, which is a product from Cisco corp, but I can't access Internet.</p>  <p>The first point I thought was the wireless network card is retired. Fortunately, one wireless network of my neighborhood was covered and unsecured, so I connected to it. all was OK. that improved my network card works.</p>  <p>The thing else was my LinkSys router. I reset it ,and removed the auth ticket. OMG, it worked. then I just changed ticket to the one before, not work now.</p>  <p>I remained the ticket and changed the way of encrypt, wow, it worked again.</p>  <p>My god, it driven me mad.</p>  <p>LinkSys , bad.</p>]]></description>

         <title>NCE3-1:A Puma at large</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<h3> A Puma at large 逃遁的美洲狮</h3>  <p><em>Where must the puma have come from?</em></p>  <p>Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.   <br />The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw &#8216;a large cat&#8217; only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of &#8220;cat-like noises&#8217; at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.</p>  <p>&#160;</p>  <p><strong>New words and expressions 生词和短语</strong></p>  <p>puma   <br />n.美洲狮    <br />spot    <br />v.看出，发现</p>  <p>evidence   <br />n.证据</p>  <p>accumulate   <br />v. 积累，积聚</p>  <p>oblige   <br />v. 使&#8230;&#8230;感到必须    <br />hunt    <br />n. 追猎；寻找</p>  <p>blackberry   <br />n. 黑莓</p>  <p>human being 人类</p>  <p>corner   <br />v. 使走投无路，使陷入困境</p>  <p>trail   <br />n. 一串，一系列</p>  <p>print   <br />n. 印痕</p>  <p>cling   <br />v. 粘</p>  <p>convince   <br />v. 使&#8230;&#8230;信服</p>  <p>somehow   <br />adv. 不知怎么搞地，不知什么原因</p>  <p>disturb   <br />v. 令人不安</p>  <p><strong>参考译文</strong>    <br />美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。    <br />搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见&#8220;一只大猫&#8221;，离她仅5码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在20英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见&#8220;像猫一样的叫声&#8221;；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。</p>]]></description>

         <title>Gmail contacts Not Run IN Firefox  3</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Just run Gmail, a service from Google. And I found the gmail contacts doesn't work in Firefox beta 3.</p>  <p>Gmail Contacts is divided into 3 columns: group,contact list, and the contact details. If one group is selected, the contacts belongs to this group will displayed in the 2nd column, but only the checkboxes of the contacts are shown, the name of contacts not displayed. Why not?</p>  <p>So I move to IE7, oh, it works in the IE7. I think it is a bug for it. that is because of the beta version of Firefox, Firefox version 2 is not installed on my laptop, so I can't test it in FF 2.</p>  <p>In a word, Gnail contacts doesn't work in Firefox beta 3.</p>]]></description>

         <title>The Singer Jacky Cheung</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>When I was studying on campus, I was really a fan of Jacky Cheung. I still listen his music currently.</p>  <p>Why do I write this article today? A simple reason. </p>  <p>I listened a song this noon, and its name is &quot;Li Xiang Lan&quot;(李香兰). If you are familiar with Jacky, it is certainly you know this song is popped in 1990s. This song is one of my most favorites. </p>  <p>When I was studying in university, I nearly listened to this one one time. So far I don't know its lyrics, but the melody is always in my brain and around me .</p>  <p>The duration of the song published via tape is 6 min 36 seconds, which is a duration-long one. Besides for it, it is hard to simulate the melody. we often go to karaoke in music room and try to sing this song, we fail every time.Maybe only Jacky is able to performance it completely.</p>  <p>Jacky Cheung is the most pop singer in HK, even in the world. and one of Four Heavenly Kings consist of Andy,Aaron, Leon and him. He is sometimes dubbed <i>the God of Songs</i> too.</p>  <p>The first song is Wolf Tale(饿狼传说) when I was in middle school, and the next songs were &quot;Kiss Goodbye&quot; and &quot;Wish&quot; in next years. the albums &quot;Snow.Wolf.Lake&quot; and &quot;Wanna Have a Blower With You&quot; in high school.</p>  <p>On campus, I tried my best to collect his all albums , Yes, nearly all of his were collected when I graduated from university. I left them to Xiao Huang before leaving Taiyuan . I was back to Taiyuan&#160; last year, and Cai Wang, who is one of my best friends and classmates in high school, told me when I fetch them. I answered him when I want to. Finally, thanks Cai Wang for his helping me collect them. They are valueless for me.</p>  <p>Jacky, a super star for me.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Django Ui is used in Chinese blog</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>When I visited <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com">Django</a> yesterday and I found its theme was so pretty that I decided to immigrate its style . And I spent 3 hours adjusting the theme in my laptop. I done it successfully at 24:00.</p>  <p>Yes, you can visit my Chinese blog to review the design.</p>  <p>Before starting adjusting it, I googled the theme for Wordpress, i didn't find anyone unfortunately. so I decided to write one by myself.</p>  <p>Thank for Beccay to write a good theme , and I finished it based on her work.</p>  <p>I told Leaf I would like to share with others, and commit it to wordpress, is it necessary? Maybe.</p>]]></description>
