stand in silent tribute for the deaths in wenchuan earthquake!

As we all know,there is a big earthquake in Si Chuan province."8.0"is really terrible.Now there are already nealy 30000 people died.Let's stand in silent tribute to the decedents!And try to do some help!Across the whole country, air raid sirens, cars, trains and ship horns wailed in grief as the people fell silent.Millions of people in China and overseas observed these three minutes silence to mourn thousands of people killed in the earthquake which hit our nation's southwest a week ago. Chinese bourses and commodities exchanges also suspended trading for three minutes in remembrance of the earthquake dead. At that moment, we all stood at the square with silence. At that moment, we heard the wails so strong and sonorous outside the window; I felt so touched and resonant, I could feel the whole country was wailing.At that moment, we all prayed for the victims dead, and for the survivals still alive, wish they all in peace and goodness.
However, we believe,
We will never stand alone;
We will be stronger and stronger;
We will always hold our belief tightly.

Write a novel

Ever wanted to write a novel but had no clue how? Having just read more than 100 novels, I am now ready to pass on my accummulated novel-writing wisdom to those what have never writ one but wants to.
1. First you need to come up with an idea. You can try reading other books, watching movies, listening to music, ect. for inspiration, or just wait until that perfect idea "hits" you. The best ideas come when you aren't trying to think of anything.
2. Write down all your ideas for characters, events, places, or anything else. Later you can reference this list when you are ready to begin writing.
3. Decide what you want your book to be about. At this point you just need to know the basics. Who will the main characters be and what will they try to accomplish.
4. Think of a setting for your novel. Choose the year, the genre, and other "beginning details."
5. Create your protagonist. Remember, the protagonist is not always the "good guy," they're simply the main character; they are the person your story is about. Make sure you create an original and believable character. To be believable, they need to have a past, fears, hopes, dreams, desires, family, job/family troubles, friends, associates, and a present.
6. Develop your plot. Is your protagonist trying to accomplish a goal? What steps do they need to take to get there? This is called the main conflict. What is the problem? Does trying to solve it create more problems? Plot advancement. Is your protagonist going to be a different person by the end of the book? Make sure your plot ties in with the theme of the book and leaves lots of wiggle room for things you might want to change later.
7. Create your supporting characters and antagonist. They should all have an important role in the book, or be part of the scenery. Don't include people that don't move the story along in roles with lots of action or dialogue. It's boring and weighs down the story. They need to be believable too, just like your protagonist. Even if their fears, wishes, hopes, desires, motives, and past are not revealed to the reader until the end or never, you still need to create them so the characters can revolved around them. Characters are people too, at least if you want to be a successful writer.
8. Rewrite. The story is really written during this part. Editing and rewriting is what makes the story good -- a first draft will almost always be bad. Just rewrite. There is really no limit to the amount of time spent rewriting, so just keep doing it.
9. Show someone what you've done. Friends or family can help, as can some online communities. Consider joining a weekly or monthly creative writing group to get some more feedback.
10. Keep rewriting. A great story is never truly finished, and as an amateur, you really don't have any time restrictions. If you don't have the patience to write a good novel, you probably shouldn't do it.

buy flowers

Flowers can improve our emotions because of their good smells. There are some flowers’ stores, people would like to buy flowers for themselves or their friends, while the flowers could represent their best wishes.Flowers convey emotions that words can’t express. You want to buy your recipient a design that inspires. Beyond Blossoms’ arrangements feature European styles, meaning they showcase a complementary mix of flowers and greens in matching colors. This creates a more sophisticated look than a typical “garden” style bouquet filled with a wild mix of mismatched flowers. In a European style bouquet, one can truly appreciate each flower’s splendor.We like to think of ourselves as the Ben & Jerry’s of flowers. While most flower websites are boring and lifeless, we take pride in creating a website that shows you how much we love flowers. From the easy-to-use layout to the looks and descriptions of our bouquets, from our flower picture contest to our favorite flower quotes page, our goal is to make your flower buying experience enjoyable! Beyond Blossoms was founded in 2003 by Josh Grossman and Gina Maschek. The idea for the company flowered when they needed to write a business plan for an entrepreneurship class in grad school. “We were looking for a business that would allow us to be creative and sell something that people love. Flowers are the perfect item,” Josh states. After graduating, the two budding (get it budding?) entrepreneurs began operations.

Tired

I was so tired in last several days. I’ve been focusing on writing a big report on various internal matters that my committee was charged to study for the whole academic year. The issues are rather large, and the solutions I was trying to present require not just cosmetic tinkering but major changes in the way things are done. So the key thing to get right in writing it is a tone that is critical of what there currently is in place while at the same time painting a picture of what could be in its stead, while also beginning to show how to get there. If you don’t balance all three just right, there’s no chance that anything will change, since either lots of people will just be pissed off that you trashed their system, or threatened the status quo, or they’ll agree but say there’s nothing that can be done, or they’ll say you have not really thought it through. I think I’ve managed to get the balance right. Wish free time next week!

gay in romania

Do you know of the gay romania? This is the story of gay in Romania: the 1990s have seen a lengthy struggle to bring about an end to the persecution of sexual minorities in Romania, and to achieve the abolition of discriminatory laws. Previously, Romanian gays and lesbians were routinely denied some of the most basic human rights guaranteed by international law. Under pressure from Europe there have been some big improvements in the legal position of gays but the underlying homophobia remains. In 2005, Romania's first Gay Pride event was held despite strong opposition from the Mayor, the Police, the Government and the Church. Following international pressure the President relented and the March was allowed. Following the legalising of homosexuality in Romania in 2002 the gay scene in Romania has improved hugely. Though the scene is still mostly out-door cruising gay or gay friendly bars have started to appear in Bucharest and some of the other main cities of Romania. Check out the websites below. Miss travesti as a key appearance in Romania could bring you to the world of gay, We think that Romania could make for an interesting alternative holiday destination. Surely, if you’re interested in the world of gay, you must go to Romania for attending the Gay Fest 2008, which is a festival especial for gay in Romania every year.
