After Christmas Eve is New Year’s Eve. And I think that everyone agrees with me: the most famous song about this time is Happy new year (Abba). After listening this song, I wish I could be home right now.

Here's the lyrics: Happy New Year

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every
neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our
hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as
well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every
neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our
hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as
well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every
neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our
hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as
well lay down and die
You and I

WASHINGTON – More than 2 trillion tons of land ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted since 2003, according to new NASA satellite data that show the latest signs of what scientists say is global warming.

More than half of the loss of landlocked ice in the past five years has occurred in Greenland, based on measurements of ice weight by NASA's GRACE satellite, said NASA geophysicist Scott Luthcke. The water melting from Greenland in the past five years would fill up about 11 Chesapeake Bays, he said, and the Greenland melt seems to be accelerating.

NASA scientists planned to present their findings Thursday at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco. Luthcke said Greenland figures for the summer of 2008 aren't complete yet, but this year's ice loss, while still significant, won't be as severe as 2007.

The news was better for Alaska. After a precipitous drop in 2005, land ice increased slightly in 2008 because of large winter snowfalls, Luthcke said. Since 2003, when the NASA satellite started taking measurements, Alaska has lost 400 billion tons of land ice.

In assessing climate change, scientists generally look at several years to determine the overall trend.

Melting of land ice, unlike sea ice, increases sea levels very slightly. In the 1990s, Greenland didn't add to world sea level rise; now that island is adding about half a millimeter of sea level rise a year, NASA ice scientist Jay Zwally said in a telephone interview from the conference.

Between Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska, melting land ice has raised global sea levels about one-fifth of an inch in the past five years, Luthcke said. Sea levels also rise from water expanding as it warms.

Other research, being presented this week at the geophysical meeting point to more melting concerns from global warming, especially with sea ice.

"It's not getting better; it's continuing to show strong signs of warming and amplification," Zwally said. "There's no reversal taking place."

Scientists studying sea ice will announce that parts of the Arctic north of Alaska were 9 to 10 degrees warmer this past fall, a strong early indication of what researchers call the Arctic amplification effect. That's when the Arctic warms faster than predicted, and warming there is accelerating faster than elsewhere on the globe.

As sea ice melts, the Arctic waters absorb more heat in the summer, having lost the reflective powers of vast packs of white ice. That absorbed heat is released into the air in the fall. That has led to autumn temperatures in the last several years that are six to 10 degrees warmer than they were in the 1980s, said research scientist Julienne Stroeve at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo.

That's a strong and early impact of global warming, she said.

"The pace of change is starting to outstrip our ability to keep up with it, in terms of our understanding of it," said Mark Serreze, senior scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., a co-author of the Arctic amplification study.

Two other studies coming out at the conference assess how Arctic thawing is releasing methane — the second most potent greenhouse gas. One study shows that the loss of sea ice warms the water, which warms the permafrost on nearby land in Alaska, thus producing methane, Stroeve says.

A second study suggests even larger amounts of frozen methane are trapped in lakebeds and sea bottoms around Siberia and they are starting to bubble to the surface in some spots in alarming amounts, said Igor Semiletov, a professor at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. In late summer, Semiletov found methane bubbling up from parts of the East Siberian Sea and Laptev Sea at levels that were 10 times higher than they were in the mid-1990s, he said based on a study this summer.

The amounts of methane in the region could dramatically increase global warming if they get released, he said.

That, Semiletov said, "should alarm people."

Continue!. “Father’s song” in August Rush - Written by Charles Ray Mack (as Charles Mack) and Performed by Leon Thomas III.


This song has a very short lyric, but that’s enough for a meaning song.

Father, hear me when I call Your name,
I need you to answer me now.
Father, here I am weak in your sight,
Can you rescue me now?
I'm crying out can't figure it out on my own

This is a very good movie (my opinion) with many beautiful scenes and excellent music performance. I watched the music scenes again, again and again (many times)

Twelve years ago, on a moonlit rooftop above Washington Square, Lyla Novacek, a sheltered young cellist, and Louis Connelly, a charismatic Irish singer-songwriter, were drawn together by a street musician's rendition of "Moondance" and fell in love. After the most romantic night of her life, Lyla promised to meet Louis again but, despite her protests, her father rushed her to her next concert--leaving Louis to believe that she didn't care.
Disheartened, he found it impossible to continue playing and eventually abandoned his music while Lyla, her own hopes for love lost, was led to believe months later that she had also lost their unborn child in a car accident. Years passed with neither of them knowing the truth. Now, the infant secretly given away by Lyla's father has grown into an unusually gifted child who hears music all around him and can turn the rustling of wind through a wheat field into a beautiful symphony with himself at its center, the composer and conductor. He holds an unwavering belief that his parents are alive and want him as much as he wants them. Determined to search for them, he makes his way to New York City.

It’s December, we’re nearly the Christmas. While waiting for it, I post some songs about Christmas. Let’s sing together!
First of all, a very famous song: Last Christmas.

Last Christmas Lyrics
Artist(Band):wham!


Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
If it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
"Happy Christmas"
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

ooooo
oh oh baby

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
oh oh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

SPECIALLLLLL

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart ( Gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
special
someone someone
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone special
who'll give something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give me to someone,I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone
last christmas i gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone,I'll give it to someone

I really love this song. The melody goes slowly, slowly to… my heart. And the lyric is meaningful.
If We Hold On Together
Diana Ross

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Subject: Computer Hard and Software:
Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system>activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.
REPLY:
Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag, Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support

I love country music. In this American’s music, I found me somewhere in the lyrics.
I’d like to introduce a song: I’ll always love you (singer: Whitney Houston)
Here the lyric:

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

It’s been 10 months since I began to write posts in English-Lorian. At the first time, I just search information on the internet and post to the blog. No one knows me. After that, I myself wrote my post. Day after day, I have so many friends in the internet, and many visitors. It makes me think that I have to update my blog more fluently.

I can’t write every day, it takes times. But I try to have a post every 4-5 days. In order to do that, I make some ideas and write it, keep thinking what I should do next. Up to now, it works. But I don’t know what to write sometimes, it’s really hard to write when I don’t have any idea. Actually, I still have some topics, but it takes so long to complete.

In my opinion, this is a very good website. There’re many famous photos which tell you something about this world: good or bad, that is for you to judge.

In this post, I introduce some photos. Please visit http://www.worldsfamousphotos.com to read stories behind photos.

1. Stricken child crawling towards a food camp (1994)

The photo is the “Pulitzer Prize” winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan Famine.
The picture depicts stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat him. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who
left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.



2. Palestinian martyr (2000)

Jamil ad-Durra, trying to protect his son from israeli gunfire moments before the boy was shot dead, the father wounded and a Palestinian ambulance driver who came to rescue them, also killed.

Reporters watched helplessly as the boy and his father became trapped against a wall with nothing but a small concrete block for cover as bullets rained around them on a road near the Jewish settlement of Netzarim in the Gaza Strip. Mohammed crouched weeping behind his father, who tried in vain to shield him with his arms and body. At one point, the father raised his head and wagged his finger, as if to scold. Some time later, both were shot and Mohammed slumped into his father’s lap.

Mohammed died, while his father survived badly wounded. An ambulance driver, who braved the fierce shooting to try to rescue them, also killed.



3. Tiananmen Square (1989)

This is probably the most famous picture you know. This is the picture of a student who tries to stop the tanks in Tiananmen Square standing in front of them. The tank driver didn’t crush the man with the bags but shortly after, the square filled with blood. The photo showed the Chinese that there is hope. However, China is still controlled by a communist regime.



4. Oklahoma City Bombing (1995)

The image of firefighter Chris Fields holding the dying infant Baylee Almon won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography in 1996.Two people, Lester LaRue and Charles Porter, standing just three feet apart took almost the same image yet it was Charles Porter’s image that won the Pulitzer.

At 9:02, on April 19, 1995, Gulf War vet, Timothy McVeigh detonated 4,800 lbs of fertilizer and fuel oil. The resulting blast destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal government Building and killed 168 people. The bombing, largest act of domestic terrorism, in America, shattered pre-911 America’s innocence.

As the fires raged rescue services and bystanders rushed to pull victims out of the twisted wreckage. Sifting through the rubble police officer, Sgt. John Avera found a small half buried body. Shouting. “I have a critical infant! I have a critical infant!” he thrust the, 1-year-old Baylee Almon into the arms of nearby firefighter Oklahoma City fire Capt. Chris Fields.



5. The plight of Kosovo refugees (1999)

The photo is part of The Washington Post’s Pulitzer Prize-winning entry (2000) showing how a Kosovar refugee Agim Shala, 2, is passed through a barbed wire fence into the hands of grandparents at a camp run by United Arab Emirates in Kukes, Albania. The members of the Shala family were reunited here after fleeing the conflict in Kosovo.

Now is the time for another song: Green Fields by The Brothers Four, an American folk group includes 4 members: Mark Pearson, Mike McCoy, Bob Flick, Karl Olsen (see the photos from left to right).

The Brothers Four: Perhaps best known for their hits in the 1960s "Greenfields" and "Yellow Bird," the group has recorded several albums of original and traditional folk songs.



Here's the lyric:

Greenfields
Brothers Four
Music & Lyrics : Terry Gilkyson - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller

Once there were green fields, kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys, where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies, with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.

We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers, who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields, that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's, nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.

Still I'll keep on waiting, until you return.
I'll keep on waiting, until the day you learn.
You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields, and me once again.

Enjoy listenning the song:

I heard this song when I watched film “camp rock” on Disney Channel. This is a song with a meaning lyric: Show yourself to let the world knows who you are and what you can do. Don’t live in the dark while you wanna live in the sun.

Here's the lyric:
This is me
[Mitchie Torres / Demi Lovato]
I've always been that kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the words
What I've got to say

But I have this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

[Chorus]
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
To be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe
In myself, it’s the only way

[Chorus]
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
To be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

[Shane Gray / Joe Jonas]
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me

[Shane & Mitchie]
I need to find you
.. I gotta find you

[Chorus]
This is real, this is me

[Shane&Mitchie]
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
To be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (This is me)

You're the voice I hear
Inside my head (yeah yeah)
The reason that I'm singing

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Listen this song, it’s pretty good. The lyric is so sad, but I love it. Because That's a great love.

Lyric: Sayonara (Gina T)

She seems to be the light of the morning sun
She is the only pearl of her family
One day she fell in love but the rules are strong, so strong ...
Don't love the strangers, no one lets go in here.

And she says don't cry for me my love, sayonara ...
Don't forget the nights of thousand breathes
Don't forget the little Japanese, sayonara ...
In my heart I keep on love in you

Up in her eyes she show all the love and pain
Japanese managed all that he had to go
And sometimes in the night you can hear her cry, her cry ...
So loneliness the life from sweet butterfly ...

And she says don't cry for me my love, sayonara ...
Don't forget the nights of thousands breathes
Don't forget the little Japanese, sayonara ...
In my heart I keep on love in you ...

I heard this song long time ago. At that time (about 1997-1998), I was just impressed by the name of the song. Now I discover that the lyric is so good, too. A love song you can sing to your lover. Lovely present!

Here’s the lyric:

Isn't it funny
How times seems to slip away
So fast
One minute you're happy
The other you're sad
But if you give me one more chance
To show my love for you is true
I'll stand by your side
Your whole life trough

If life is short
Why won't you let me love you
Before we run out of time
If love is so strong
Why won't you take the chance
Before our time has come
If life is so short
If life is so short

Love is a word that explains
How I feel for you
And when you're in my arms
All my dreams come true
And when you're not around
You can't hardly see
These tears that I'm crying
Now are for you to be with me

If life is short
Why won't you let me love you
Before we run out of time
If love is so strong
Why won't you take the chance
Before our time has come
If life is so short
If life is so short

Enjoy the song:

"Gia Tai Cua Me" (A Mother's Heritage). This is another song of Trinh Cong Son that I would like to introduce. It was also translated by Richard Fuller.

Lyric: A Mother's Heritage A thousand years of Chinese reign. A hundred years of French domain. Twenty years fighting brothers each day, A mother's fate, left for her child, A mother's fate, a land defiled. A thousand years of Chinese reign. A hundred years of French domain. Twenty years fighting brothers each day, A mother's fate, bones left to dry, And graves that fill a mountain high. Refrain: Teach your children to speak their minds. Don't let them forget their kind Never forget their kind, from old Viet land. Mother wait for your kids to come home, Kids who now so far away roam. Children of one father, be reconciled. A thousand years of Chinese reign. A hundred years of French domain. Twenty years fighting brothers each day. A mother's fate, our fields so dead, And rows of homes in flames so red. A thousand years of Chinese reign. A hundred years of French domain. Twenty years fighting brothers each day. A mother's fate, her kids' misdeeds, Her kids filled with disloyalty. (Refrain) Enjoy listening, first you will hear Vietnamese, then…. You can download this song at this site

Yesterday, I watched film “Music and lyric”. This film has many good songs. I really love the song named “Way back into love”. I would like to share with you.

Here’s the lyric:

Way Back into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And here’s the song in youtube

This time I would like to introduce a Vietnamese song, translated into English by Richard Fuller (american): “The Great Circle of Viet Nam”. This song was written by Trinh Cong Son, who is known in Vietnam as the best love song musician in the 20th century.

Richard Fuller

And here is Trinh’song, the lyric of The Great Circle of Viet Nam 1. From jungled hills to the distant sea, We form a giant circle to unite our country. From far and wide, we now return, With joy, like a sandstorm, to the far horizons, Let's now join hands : A great circle of Viet Nam Flags in the wind, happy nights and days, Of one blood our hearts ablaze, Reconciled, a new day. Hamlet, town now joined as one, Remember the dead as we bask in the sun, And one by one, we spread our smiles. 2. From North to South, we all join hands, From fields long abandoned to mountainous lands, We'll ford deep streams, climb over hills. From hamlets to the cities, We embrace with glee an eternal circle: Dead and living, one are we. (translated by Richard Fuller - 2004) I have one clip in for you.

Handmade Papercraft is a very beautiful kind of cards (I think so). If you make your own card and then give it to your friends as a present, they would be very happy.

I think this website is pretty popular in making Handmade Papercraft (Pop-up card). When I search “Handmade Papercraft” with Google, the results always have a link to this website.

Its name is http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~m-uet

There are many types of cards, and all of 3D pop up cards designed by Yuichi Miyoshi.
A long time ago, all patterns could be downloaded and printed (PDF). But now, I just can download some sample cards which she allows to download. This website asks me username and password to download the other files. The problem is that I don’t know how to make an account in this website.

Luckily, I downloaded about half of these files before it required account. But I still want to have all of them. Who can help me?

There are three current and often quoted urban legends that started spreading in late 1980s of an ending to the Doraemon series.

The first and the more optimistic ending was made public by Nobuo Sato several years ago. Doraemon's battery power ran out, and Nobita was given a choice between replacing the battery inside a frozen Doraemon, which would cause it to reset and lose all memory, or await a competent robotics technician who would be able to resurrect the cat-robot one day. Nobita swore that very day to work hard in school, graduate with honours, and become that robotics technician. He successfully resurrected Doraemon in the future as a robotics professor, became successful as an AI developer, and thus lived happily ever after, thus relieving his progeny of the financial burdens that caused Doraemon to be sent to his space-time in the first place.

And I’d like to introduce this Happy ending of Doraemon (if you want to know more about another ending information, please click here)
