--Liverpool FC 2-1 Club Atlético de Madrid--


Liverpool FC 2-1 Club Atlético de Madrid (agg: 2-2 aet, Atlético win on away goals)
Diego Forlán struck the killer blow as the Reds saw a match-winning position evaporate in extra time at Anfield.
~
Diego Forlán fired Club Atlético de Madrid into the UEFA Europa League final after his extra-time strike earned the Spanish side an away-goals triumph over Liverpool FC.
~
It was Forlán's solitary goal that earned Atlético their first-leg win and the Uruguay striker was the hero again at Anfield, sweeping in a José Antonio Reyes cross in the 102nd minute to deny a Liverpool side who had fought their way into a winning position through goals from Alberto Aquilani and Yossi Benayoun. Atlético can now look forward to their first European final for 24 years against another Premier League side, Fulham FC, in Hamburg on 12 May.

--Olympique Lyonnais 0-3 FC Bayern München--


A stunning hat-trick from Ivica Olić capped a majestic performance from FC Bayern München who impressively brushed aside ten-man Olympique Lyonnais to book their place in the UEFA Champions League final.
~
Already leading thanks to Arjen Robben's solitary first-leg goal, the four-time European champions never looked like surrendering their advantage as they picked up where they had left off in Munich with another dominant display. From the moment Olić slotted in his first on 26 minutes Lyon were fighting a desperate battle, and when the French side lost skipper Cris to a red card just before the hour, Bayern merely had to bang nails into OL's coffin. Olić duly obliged, scoring his second midway through the second half before completing his treble on 78 minutes.

--The Hitter--



Come to the door, ma, and unlock the chain
Well, I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain
There's nothing that I want, nothing that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way

I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern Queen
With the police on my back, I fled to New Orleans
Well, I fought in the dockyards for the money that I made
I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade

Baton Rouge, Ponchatoula, and Lafayette town
Well, they paid me their money, ma, I knocked the men down
I did what I did and it come easily
Restraint and mercy, ma, were always strangers to me

I fought champion Jack Thompson in a field full of mud
Rain poured through the tent to the canvas and mixed with our blood
In the twelfth, I slipped my tongue over my broken jaw
I stood over him, pounded his bloody body into the floor

Well, the bell rang and rang and still I kept on
'Til I felt my glove leather slip 'tween his skin and bone

And the women and the money came fast and the days, I lost track
The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black
I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets
Well, I took my good share, ma, I have no regrets

I took the fix at the state armory with John McDowell
From high in the rafters I watched myself fall
As they raised his arm, my stomach twisted and the sky it went black
I stuffed my bag with their good money and I never looked back

Understand, in the end, ma, every man plays the game
If you know me one different, then speak out his name

Ma, if my voice now you don't recognize
Well, just open the door and look into your dark eyes
I ask of you nothin', not a kiss not a smile
Just open the door and let me lie down for a while

Now the gray rain's fallin' and my ring fightin's done
So in the work fields and alleys, I take all who'll come
If you're a better man than me, then just step to the line
And show me your money and speak out your crime

Now there's nothin' I want, ma, nothin' that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way

Well, tonight in Stockyard, a man draws a circle in the dirt
I move to the center and take off my shirt
I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain man nor time can erase
I move hard to the left and I strike to the face..............

--What causes Autism?--




The autism argument has been fueled in recent years, between the correlation of autism and vaccines. Roughly one in four parents believes that some vaccines are the cause of autism in healthy children, but is there enough proof to support this theory?

The worry about a vaccine link first arose in 1998 when a British physician published a medical journal linking the two. The results from his study prompted a movement among parents with autistic children. For years, numerous parents have blamed mercury in vaccines for the illness, but recent revelations have everyone wondering.

The medical journal that first published this study, and caused all the outrage, retracted the study that claimed a link exists. This discredited the study, thus leaving people bewildered. Further evidence disputing the correlation surfaced as recent as March 12, 2010. A Washington federal judge concluded that the vaccine additive thimerosal is not to blame for autism. This news is unsettling for many parents and the battle is far from over. Is it safe to say that no one knows for sure what causes autism?

--寂寞讓你更快樂?--




沒有余溫 證明了今夜這里沒有人
我可以 睡得很安穩 也不想留燈
你沒有責任 也可以當作從來沒發生
快樂后 當你疲倦了 又在那起身
寂寞讓你更快樂
談吐展示危險的氣氛
你越迷戀 陷的越深
當你透露一個吻
情愿擁抱寂寞的城門
只要一起負荷
什么都別問
用微笑配合 努力扮演好你要的角色
閉上眼 呼吸那么忐忑 都不是真的
你不會記得 每一個偽裝快樂的眼神
沉默了 當你痛哭失聲 我會打開門
寂寞讓你更快樂
談吐展示逃離的氣氛
你越盡心 陷的越深
當你透露一個吻
情愿擁抱寂寞的城門
那些陌生的人
誰給你真誠
是過去傷太深 才讓你根本不能相信永恒
你的手那么冷 總會有人搶著為你加溫
寂寞讓你更快樂
談吐展示逃離的氣氛
你越盡心 陷的越深
當你透露一個吻
情愿擁抱寂寞的城門
不知所措的人
我真的心疼

--Cambodian New Year~Chol Chnam Thmey 2010--

Cambodian New Year (Khmer: បុណ្យចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី) or Chol Chnam Thmey in the Khmer language, literally "Enter the New Year", is the name of the Cambodian holiday that celebrates the new year. The holiday lasts for three days beginning on New Year's Day, most commonly April 13th but sometimes on the 14th in keeping with the lunar calendar. Khmer living in other countries may change the dates so as to celebrate on the weekend. This time of the year is at the end of the harvesting season. The farmers enjoy the fruits of their harvest and relax before the rainy season begins.
~
The numbering is based on the Buddhist calendar. For 2010 it is 2554 BE (Buddhist Era),

--Burmese New Year~Maha Thingyan 2010--

In Burma there is a three day New Year festival called Maha Thingyan, which is celebrated with prayers, fasting and fun. During the festivities, buildings and temples are washed, and people throw water over each other. This is partly to welcome the heavy rains of the coming monsoon season.
~
The Burmese New Year festival is held to celebrate the New Year, by performing meritorious deeds and spraying one another with Thingyan water.
~
The Burmese New Year, which is based on the Fixed Zodiac system, falls on or around April 16. Thingyan means change. Cula thingyan (or small change) occurs every month. Maha thingyan (or big change) occurs once a year. The Burmese consider it to occur in Meiktha on or around April 13 and lasting three or four days.
~
Thingyan is the traditional Burmese New Year's festival. It lasts for three days and during that time everyone must get wet in order to welcome in the New Year. The Burmese believe that water acts as a soul purifier. Getting wet means that one can start the New Year with a cleansed soul.

--Thailand New Year~Songkran 2010--


The Songkran festival (Thai: สงกรานต์, from Sanskrit saṅkrānti, "astrological passage") is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia.
~
The date of the festival was originally set by astrological calculation, but it is now fixed. If these days fall on a weekend, the missed days off are taken on the weekdays immediately following. If they fall in the middle of the week, many Thai take off from the previous Friday until the following Monday. Songkran falls in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season. Until 1888 the Thai New Year was the beginning of the year in Thailand; thereafter 1 April was used until 1940. 1 January is now the beginning of the year. The traditional Thai New Year has been a national holiday since then.
~
Songkran originally was celebrated only in the north of Thailand, and was probably brought there by the Burmese, who adapted it from the Indian Holi festival. It spread across Thailand in the mid 20th century and is now observed even in the far south. However, the most famous Songkran celebrations are still in the northern city of Chiang Mai, where it continues for six days and even longer. It has also become a party for foreigners and an additional reason for many to visit Thailand for immersion in another culture.

--Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin--

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: About this sound Владимир Владимирович Путин , IPA [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr vlɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn]; born 7 October 1952) was the second President of the Russian Federation and is the current Prime Minister of Russia, as well as chairman of United Russia and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Russia and Belarus. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move, and then Putin won the 2000 presidential election. In 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008.
~
Due to constitutionally mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive Presidential term. After the victory of his successor, Dmitry Medvedev, in the 2008 presidential elections, he was then nominated by the latter to be Russia's Prime Minister; Putin took the post on 8 May 2008.

--A Boy From NoWhere--

--A Boy From NoWhere--




The nights grow cold,
My search for gold
Is leading nowhere
Whichever lonely road I take
It seems to go where
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
How can I display
What I know I'm worthy of
When they turn me away

The doors are closed to such as I
A boy from nowhere
But not to those who merely buy
The right to go where
They'll be met with respect,
Not humiliation.
A man's place on earth
I have come to realize
Is decided by birth

So what's the future
No matter where I go
I will still belong...
In Andalucia
Where we don't know where
The next penny's coming from
Something's wrong

I'm bound to Spain,
I won't remain
A boy from nowhere
There has to be
A place for me
And I must go there
I don't fantasize unlike a million others
Who must bow and scrape
For my one means of escape
Is to flourish a cape.

I'll fight all odds
And fight the Gods if they oppose me
I have to win
I won't give in
No one who knows me
Would expect me to fail
For the want of trying
Not a man alive
Had to beg or steal or fight
more than me to survive

So what's the future
No matter where I go
I will still belong...
In Andalusia
Where good honest men grow weak
and the rich grow strong
Something's wrong

Another dawn, another boy
A boy from nowhere
My destiny will guarantee
I'll only go where
It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow
One more mouth to feed
And the way things are round here,
That's the last thing they need.

清明夏曆二十四節氣之一。《曆書》:「春分後 十五日,斗指丁,為清明,時萬物皆潔齊而清明,蓋時當氣清景明,萬物皆顯,因此得名。」清明節的起源,據傳始於古代帝王將相「墓祭」之禮,後來民間亦相倣 傚,於此日祭祖掃墓,歷代沿襲而成為中華民族一種固定的風俗。由於中國廣大地區有在清明之日進行祭祖、掃墓踏青的習俗,逐漸演變為華人以掃墓、祭拜等形式紀念祖先的一個中國傳統節日,在仲春與暮春之交,一般為冬至之 後106天,寒食節的後一天。掃墓活動在節前後可延續十天左右。清明節與三節也是中國傳統節日祭祖的四大節慶。

清明節的習俗在中國南方和北方地區的規模、方式不盡相同。民間還有插戴柳枝、放風箏、取薪火、畫蛋、鬥雞、盪鞦韆等活動。此習俗也流行於白族苗族蒙古族納西族少數民族。在越南韓國琉球等 地,清明節也是重要的節日。
