Picture describe

It’s a cloudy day, the houses around the beach was covered by shadow. You may think there is nobody playing at the beach. However, it’s totally different. As you see this photograph, there are still many people come here and have fun. Some of them are making a castle by sand, and some are sitting in front of the beach and watching faraway, still some are walking along the beach.

Not for an exception, there is a newly-wedded couple taking a walk along the beach far from crowds. The couple doesn’t want to disturb by them. They take up their shoes, and walk barefoot. They walk side by side and stay very close. Maybe you think they are talking about something happened yesterday, or talking those words that inner their hearts. Actually, it is the trip about their honey moon, and California beach is the first step. They plan to go to Las Vegas for several days as the result of it is the world’s biggest gambling house.

Generally, honey moon is the most important things for the couple, and California beach is the best choice for it! When you are making your honey moon, don’t forget to visit here!

Horsehead Nebula

photo from internet

photo taken by myself

Horsehead Nebula, the most famous nebulae in the sky. It looks like horse's head.
It is one of my favorite nebulae!

"One of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky, the Horsehead Nebula in Orion, is part of a large, dark, molecular cloud. Also known as Barnard 33, the unusual shape was first discovered on a photographic plate in the late 1800s. The red glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust, although the lower part of the Horsehead's neck casts a shadow to the left. Streams of gas leaving the nebula are funneled by a strong magnetic field. Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula base are young stars just in the process of forming . Light takes about 1500 years to reach us from the Horsehead Nebula. The above image was taken with the 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory."

ELE table tennis game

We had the game in March 17th. Every grade of ELE can have the game by forming a team.

That day, there has four teams, ELE98 first class, ELE98 second class, ELE99 first class, ELE99 second class. At first, we game with ELE99second class . But we get lost as 3:4.
Second, we game with ELE98 first class, we also get lost as 1:6. We didn't win the game. However, the price is not the key point, but the feelings to our class is the most important thing we have!

Magician & Magic show

She is the magician, from NTNU magic club, my senior high school friend.
Magic is not true. It is all come from your skills. However, it's hard to
let others not to see your weakness.
Also, it could not take picture or recording during the show, it is the secret.

Calm

I spent the whole day doing art.
Stippling is a pain in the butt.
But it feels good something to create something I'm proud of.

Grand Spiral Galaxy M81 by Hubble

this is... M81

"Astronomers released this beautiful photograph of the grand spiral design galaxy, M81, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Although it looks like a single image, it was actually constructed by stitching together many images on computer, using three different wavelengths of light.

M81 is located about 11.6 million light-years in the constellation of Ursa Major. We’re fortunate that it’s turned at an oblique angle towards the Earth, so we can see a full view of the spiral structure. Hubble’s view of M81 is so crisp and clear that individual stars can be resolved, as well as open clusters and globular star clusters.

The older, redder stars are contained around the galaxy’s central bulge, and it has regions of star formation along its spiral arms. Astronomers suspect that its recent nearby encounter with another galaxy (M82) unleashed the period of star formation about 300 million years ago.

The image was released as part of the Americal Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, which is currently going on in Hawaii."

Mac

I think I'm getting a Mac.
I commend Apple for making their site so navigatable and informative. Especially for computer retarded people like me.
Good for them because the site convinced me that a Macbook has everything I need.

Meet teacher

Hmm…

4/21 is the 20^th anniversary of CGU, and our school gave us a holiday at 4/23.

It has been a long time that I didn’t go beck to Lishan Senior School in April 23th, so I choose this day to go back. Only when we go back at this day we can meet our teachers.

At the time I get to physic teacher’s office, my teacher said that I have some import jobs to do, that is help him to print his report…He had no time to do this, he must took it to the press at night. However, the time I met him was ten minutes to five. Then you will know how urgent it was!!

I was so glad to help him although I spent time that I can not study Physics. : )

Astro News : Chandra Sees Remarkable Eclipse of Black Hole

comment :
By using of X-ray telescope, you can observe some special light that you can not see.
This is a hot area recently in Astronomy.

NASA
"Chandra observations of the galaxy NGC 1365 have captured a remarkable eclipse of the supermassive black hole at its center. A dense cloud of gas passed in front of the black hole, which blocked high-energy X-rays from material close to the black hole. This serendipitous alignment allowed astronomers to measure the size of the disk of material around the black hole, a relatively tiny structure on galactic scales. The Chandra image (shown in the inset) contains a bright X-ray source in the middle, which reveals the position of the supermassive black hole. An optical view of the galaxy from the European Space Observatory's Very Large Telescope shows the context of the Chandra data. "

Patty's cottage

The morning we cook breakfast in our own.
Delicious Egg cake with tunna, and orange juice ~~
"Lungman Rotact club's day ( and night ) "
4/5 We chose to stay at Patty's cottage. We bought some food at Supermarket,
and then cook dinner ourselves. At night, we play a card game called " killer ",
it is to find who is the real killer which can let you learn how to cheat but without any change.
Until 5 a.m.....
The next day we cook breakfast ourselves.
A special experience!

Rotact Sports Game

We had Rotact sports game last Saturday (3/31) in the theacher's University.
It began from 9:00 o'clock. It was a royal sports game. They invited somebody like Taipei mayor. After that, we play lots of game like a tug of war, relay race, and swimming competition.
Finally, we got one champions, two runner-up, one third place. : )

Good morning.
This story is the history of the film called " 300," and it is also the movie we will have to report in class.

The year was 1963, and “The 300 Spartans” was in theaters. In this telling of the battle of Thermopylae, Richard Egan played the Greek King Leonidas, who in 480 B.C. led 300 warriors in a doomed battle against the much larger Persian army, and David Farrar, regal in robes of purple and green, was the Persian King Xerxes. The film’s dialogue and staging may seem a bit quaint now. But the young Mr. Miller was stunned as he watched its climax, in which the few remaining Spartans are slaughtered in a hail of arrows.

Good morning

Time : 02:28 am

Yesterday I went to Taipei for experiment, and came back to CGU in 12 o'clock. However, I must to do Calculus homework for 9-7~9-10, and the report about leader's movie. Those can not been complete immediately...

Good job.

It's time to go to sleep. Good night.

Supersonic “Bullets” of Gas Ejected from the Orion Nebula

I have a astro picture everyday in my desktop which is called " widget."
I love this picture a lot!! : ) : )
This is the description of it:

"This beautiful photograph shows a small portion of the star-forming Orion Nebula. The strange, wake-like structures are supersonic “bullets” of gas ejected from the nebula. What actually caused these ejections is still unknown, but astronomers think there was a recent violent event that fired them out.

Each one of these bullets of gas has a cloud of iron atoms at its tip, glowing bright blue in the image. This is followed by longer wakes of heated hydrogen gas, which are coloured orange in the photo.

The photograph was captured by the Gemini observatory’s powerful adaptive optics system. This allows the observatory to compensate for atmospheric distortions that blur its view."

The day they took this picture : March 23rd, 2007 by Fraser Cain

Practice

My left leg got hurt while I was playing basketball with my friends.
I can not swim recently ><
I will have a swimming contest in this Saturday (3/31). However, it has been a long time since I didn’t swim. I must practice at least one time…

How should I do ???

Free writing in English writing

Good job.
The legend of 1900 is the movie about musician on the boat in 19’s centeries.
But my friends haven’t seen it before.
I’m very sad about it.
Today we write anything we want in our English composition class. I haven’t had this experience before. It is pretty fun and exciting. Soon I will change to another computer and continued the former person’s writing. This is a good experience to practice our immediate reaction. In this game, we will learn how to continue other person’s thinking. This practice is so fun. I think it could increase our English ability.
It is so nice.

The global fish crisis

"Saving the sea's bounty"
It is the terrible title about our enviroment...which is come from National Geographic magazine.
Let me tell you what's happening about it:
" The oceans are in deep blue trouble.From the northermost reaches of the Greenland Sea to the swirl of the Antarctic Circle, we are gutting our seas of fish. Since 1900, many species may have declined by nearly 90 percent, and it's getting worse. Nets scour reefs. Supertrawlers vacuum up shrimp. Nation flout laws.
The crisis announces itself on the bare table of a family in Senegal, in the shrinking enrollment of an elementary school in a seaside village, on restaurant menus and in the languid drift of bycatch tossed overboard with casual indifference. In the following three stories, we examine the net losses balanced against the meager gains. First, the breadth and depth of the problem as epitomized by the massacre of the majestic bluefin tuna. Then the saving grace of a marine reserve in New Zealand, stubbornly propelled into existence by a biologist who insists that what is needed is a new ocean ethic--one that demands we see the ocean not as a commodity, but as a community in which we all have stake. Finally, the slow strangulation of a fishing village in Newfoundland, a cautionary tale in which the collapse of cod in turn diminishes a livelihood and way of life passed down from generation to generation. "

Crisis about our oceans, cirsis about our future ...........

Library

Staying in the library is free for me. I borrow three books from it while my friends were rehearsaling a play yesterday, one is about photograph, another is car electric engineering, and a poem.

The Legend of 1900

I saw the movie" The Legend of 1900" at the library yesterday.

The music of the movie was touched to me. I love it!

This is the story of it

The Legend of 1900 is an interesting new fable from legendary Italian filmmaker Guiseppe Tornatore, maker of Cinema Paradiso and The Star Maker. Based on a monologue by Alessandro Baricco, The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.

The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and dumbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton . Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano duel to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.

Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The production on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.

START

It is my first time to do like this...
