February 24 电视剧 电影 记录片电视剧
影像中最早的是射雕,那时候还在小学,偶尔可以在电视上看到1,2集.觉得好看得不得了.可惜就是看不到. 就算到了大学也看得很少,那时候一集70+M,画面都不是很清楚都看得很爽. 但是还是得不到满足. 这个情况到了研究生才有所转变,因为宿舍可以上网了.在校内ftp上down TBV的电视剧. 经常一边看电视剧,一边改作业,有时候自己再算点东西:)前2年几乎把TBV的20年的电视剧看遍了,终于sick of TVB.于是不看TVB了.后来转向美剧,像24,Lost,DHW,apprentice,PB.当然个人比较推崇的还是 Rome,史诗般的著作,和电影媲美的场景...现在看些Numbers,也许跟数学有关,觉得还好.有一集还讲到了黎曼假设:)平时无聊的时候也在电视上看看Hero,Smallville 现在已经很少看电视剧了
电影
大学前看得都是国内得,已经没什么影像了. 就是到了大学也对电影不感冒.偶尔别人有电影一块看看.有的觉得不错,有的看不懂. 研究生得时候也很少下电影看.真真开始喜欢电影是拿到offer之后.买了250G的硬盘,开始下电影.于是一边做research一般下电影,这时候才开始接触好的电影.我觉得原来不喜欢电影是因为没有接触到好的电影. 后来下了好多电影,都没有时间看,于是第一年的周末都是在硬盘上找没看过的电影:)今天还发现个我没看过的电影,原来我一直以为看过了,估计这是最后一部了.
看电影也是有讲究得.下之前先要看看介绍,影评,看看是不是自己喜欢得类型.比如我就不看恐怖得,看些轻松得,不伤脑细胞,有田园风光的,场面震撼的,有意义的...像<THE day after tomorrow><national treasure><lord of the ring><pride and prejudice><007><Schindler's List> I donot like <godfather>. 其次要选好的版本看,一般我只下DVD rip, 710+M单个文件的,绝不看枪版.很多电影是要看效果的.本来看电影就是为了享受的,总不能跟自己过不去吧.花点时间做research和下这么大的文件都是值得的...
记录片
说到记录片,很多人会想到赵钟祥解说的动物世界.其实完全不是那么回事. 我对记录片的改观是从Wild Europe开始的,知识性,视觉效果.....可以更多的了解自然,以及我们自己. 目前最好的就是BBC出的wild系列
BBC.Wild.Europe
BBC.Wild.Africa

以前放过<Jane Eyre><Bleak House>...很多名字不记得了... Becoming Jane
Becoming Jane is a 2007 historical film directed by Julian Jarrold. It is inspired by the early life of author Jane Austen (portrayed by Anne Hathaway), and her posited relationship with Thomas Langlois Lefroy (played by BAFTA-winning Scottish actor James McAvoy). Julie Walters, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith also appear in this picture. The film was produced in cooperation with several companies, including BBC Films and the Irish Film Board.
PlotJane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is the younger daughter of Reverend Austen and his wife (Julie Walters) and has yet to find a suitable husband. She wishes to be a writer -- to the disdain of her mother and pride of her father (James Cromwell). She turns down the affections of numerous men, including the nephew of Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith), a Mr. Wisley. Wisley proposes, but Jane turns him down cold. It is not until the mischievous Thomas Lefroy (James McAvoy) -- the later inspiration for Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy -- shows up in town that Jane begins to take the idea of marriage seriously. Though Lefroy is a promising lawyer with a good reputation, after a bad first impression, Jane cannot stand the arrogant Londoner. The two get to know each other gradually, however, and eventually fall in love. Tom takes Jane to London to try and convince his uncle and benefactor, Judge Langlois, to let him marry Jane. The Judge considers it, but after receiving a letter informing him of Jane's poor family, he refuses, declaring that Tom will be disowned if he marries Jane. Jane insists that she and Tom may still marry, but Tom says he has his family to think about and, outraged, she leaves London. On her return home, and after finding out that Tom has come back to town with a new fiancee, Jane informs Mr. Wisley that she will marry him. Meanwhile, Jane's sister Cassandra has learned that her fiancee, Robert Fowle, has died of yellow fever. The girls are both devastated. Jane meets Tom again in a wood, where he asks her to run away with him. She agrees, but halfway there, she learns that Tom's parents, along with his many brothers and sisters, depend on the allowance he receives from his uncle to survive. Despite protestations from Tom, Jane ends their affair for his family's sake, returns home to her own family, and begins writing Pride and Prejudice. Years later, Jane, accompanied by her brother Henry and his wife Eliza (Jane's cousin, a countess), encounters Thomas Lefroy again at a social function. He is with his eldest daughter, also named Jane, who turns out to be a fan of Jane Austen's writing, the film ending with Jane giving a most rare reading.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Austen Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was a British novelist whose realism, biting social commentary, and masterful use of free indirect speech, burlesque, and irony have earned her a place as one of the most widely-read and best-loved writers in British literature.[2] Austen lived her entire life as part of a large and close-knit family located on the lower fringes of English gentry.[3] She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to Austen's development as a professional writer.[4] Austen's artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was about thirty-five years old. During this period, she wrote three major novels and began a fourth.[5] From 1811 until 1815, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey (written in 1798 and 1799 and revised later) and Persuasion, both published after her death in 1817, and began a third (eventually titled Sanditon), but died before it could be completed January 28 Coat of ArmsA coat of arms or armorial bearings (often just arms for short), in European tradition, is a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people) and used by them in a wide variety of ways. Unlike seals and emblems, coats of arms have a formal description that is expressed as a blazon.
The Polish coat of arms is regulated by article 28(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997. The Coat of arms of Poland consists of a white eagle on a red field. Its current appearance, regulated by the Coat of Arms Act, consists of single-headed, crowned eagle, turned towards right with golden claws and beak, upon the red shield. White and red are the national colours of the Republic of Poland, regulated by the Act.

Coat of Arms is different from Seals. While the Great Seal of the United States is often said to be the coat of arms of the United States of America. Although the seal contains some armorial elements, it was not designed to be used as a coat of arms and does not fully conform with European heraldic traditions. However, the main point of contention in this dispute is a matter of wording; the blazon is intentionally improper to preserve the number 13 in the symbolism. Nevertheless, the design of the Great Seal of the United States owes more to Roman civil government seals than to medieval European heraldry. The U.S. state of Vermont, founded as the Vermont Republic, follows the American convention of assigning use of a seal for authenticating official state documents, but also has the coat of arms of Vermont. It is the only U.S. state to have authentic armorial bearings described in a blazon

January 10 EaglesI guess most people know that Eagle is the national bird and symbol of United States. But eagle was also one of the four main base-units of denomination prior 1933. There are the cent, the dime, the dollar, and the eagle.10 cents=1 dime,10 dimes=1 dollar, 10 dollars=1 eagle.
And you can see most US seals, coins, currencies featuring eagle, for example
The left one is Great Seal of the United States, is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the US government. The rights one is the Seal of the President of the United Stated, is the official arms of the U.S. presidency.
Let's see the current US coins featuring eagles
They are Kennedy Half Dollar, SBA Dollar,Quarter, Eisenhower Dollar, Sacagawea Dollar.
I like the Kennedy Half Dollar most, because it's very big and more details:)For more pictures,see the Photo Album.
December 30 Declararion of Independencehttp://www.ushistory.org/declaration/ For these who enjoy the movie<National Treasure> What's on the Back? People who watched the popular movie "National Treasure" want to know. On the back, at the bottom, upside-down is simply written: "Original Declaration of Independence / dated 4th July 1776." Regarding the message on the back, according to the National Archives, "While no one knows for certain who wrote it, it is known that early in its life, the large parchment document was rolled up for storage. So, it is likely that the notation was added simply as a label." There are no hidden messages. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

英文名称：BBC Wild Caribbean 资源类型：DVDRip 发行时间：2007年02月19日 电视台：BBC 英国广播公司 地区：英国 语言：英语 From parrots and pirates to shipwrecks, sharks and glittering seas, this wonderful series reveals what really lies behind a mysterious eden.
The Caribbean is a glorious spectacle of sun, sand and warm blue seas, spiced with areas of incredible cultural diversity. In our minds, it is the embodiment of paradise – crystal waters, magical coral reefs, white sandy beaches – an ideal holiday destination. But the real surprise is that there is a lot more to the Caribbean than this. It has some amazing and mysterious wildlife with strange creatures found nowhere else on earth. Fluorescent hummingbirds buzz around, impossibly bright scarlet ibis fill the sky, Cuban crocodiles patrol the waters and thousands of flamingos dance in an unrivalled spectacle. Yet behind its tropical beauty the Caribbean conceals many dark and mysterious secrets. Its violent past is manifested in volcanic eruptions, both destructive and creative, mammoth tidal waves that can flatten whole islands and powerful hurricanes that sweep a destructive passage. The cultural past has also left its mark, scarred into the character of the individual islands. In a land we may think we know this is still a time of exploration and discovery with new locations and stories to explore. Many secrets are still hidden and many questions remain unanswered.

Today's featured articleEl Al Israel Airlines (Hebrew: אל על, "skyward") (TASE: ELAL) is Israel's flag carrier and largest airline.[3][4] From its main base and hub at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport, El Al operates regular international passenger and cargo flights to Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America as well as local flights to Eilat.[5] Since its inaugural flight from Geneva to Tel Aviv in September 1948, the airline has steadily grown, and now serves 48 destinations on four continents.[6] As the national carrier, El Al has played an important role in Israel's humanitarian rescue efforts, airlifting Jews from Ethiopia, Yemen, and other countries where their lives were in danger. The airline holds the world record for the highest number of passengers on a commercial aircraft, a record set by Operation Solomon, when Jewish refugees were brought over from Ethiopia.

In North America, South America and Europe, most people refer to the fruit simply as "kiwi," which is in fact the name of an indigenous New Zealand bird. The fruit was named after the bird because of the similar appearance.
A kiwi is any of the species of small flightless birds endemic to New Zealand of the genus Apteryx (the only genus in family Apterygidae). At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites. Most kiwi species are endangered. The kiwi is also a national symbol of New Zealand.
