(1) It is correct that 当初苏联就是以潜艇舰队为海军主力. But its submarine
fleet, though big is size, was fundamentally old and weak.

I Am Not Charlie Hebdo
David Brooks
The journalists at Charlie Hebdo are now rightly being celebrated as martyrs
on behalf of freedom of expression, but let’s face it: If they had tried
to publish their satirical newspaper on any American university campus over
the last two decades it wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds. Student and
faculty groups would have accused them of hate speech. The administration
would have cut financing and sh... 阅读全帖

来自主题: USANews版 - The Bugaboo of the Left
By Victor Volsky
The rogues' gallery of the far left is enormously spacious, and it doesn't
take much to be eligible for inclusion; any conservative worth his or her
salt automatically qualifies. But with the possible exception of that
eternal bogeyman, Richard Nixon, nobody is hated by the left with such
abandon; nobody is more vilified; nobody is targeted with such volcanic
eruptions of insane hatred and vitriol as former Vice President Dick Cheney.
But why? What did Cheney do to deserve suc... 阅读全帖

An overwhelming majority of likely voters think it’s important to consider
a politician’s private foibles when assessing his or her suitability for
office.
But they also contend that presidential campaigns have become dirtier over
the past generation, perhaps indicating a reluctance to accept allegations
against particular candidates at face value.
The results of this week’s The Hill Poll indicate that 85 percent of voters
regard the way a politician condu... 阅读全帖

来自主题: USANews版 - Romney自取其辱了
我想绝大多数人都不想到trump那句让跪下有任何sex act的暗示。最多是跪下beg.
Mitt Romney said Donald Trump was being his "characteristically disgusting"
self with a remark that alluded to him performing a sex act the previous day.
At a Portland, Maine, rally on Thursday, Trump mocked Romney and said that
he groveled for an endorsement in the 2012 cycle. "I backed Mitt Romney. He
was begging for my endorsement," Trump said. "I could have said 'Mitt, drop
to your knees.' He would have dropped to his knees."
“Well, it’s character... 阅读全帖

James.
I want to add two episodes of my parents' way of teaching me.
A) After I finished elementary school, I had no Summer Homework for the
first time in 5 years. So I asked my parents to borrow books from Beida

Attached is an exact copy (which I had saved, as a teachable lesson about
communists' foibles) of the original posting. The difference between the
original and the revision is the telephone number: chooyu
(a) replaced "011," with "...+" and
(b) added "528" behind "139."

Lin Leads Knicks in 76er Showdown: A Fan’s Perspective
By Glenn Vallach, Yahoo! Contributor Network
1 hour, 28 minutes ago
tweet1EmailPrintJeremy Lin is a flawed basketball player. He has well-
documented difficulties driving left. He commits far too many turnovers. He'
s only a serviceable outside shooter, and somewhat less than that at the
free throw line.
It's not a criticism of his play but rather a stark reality for a young
point guard with only Harvard basketball on the resume, who has bee... 阅读全帖

就是Robert Frank以The Americans开创的Snapshot aesthetic。 Webb我觉得完全不算
是Snapshot aesthetic, 他自己也说受布列松影响最大,他们这一派的画面比较优雅
,也有点浪漫派。
摘抄一段介绍Snapshot aesthetic的
Snapshot aesthetic
The vast majority of twentieth-century photographs have been either
photojournalistic images or snapshots taken by amateurs. The least self-
conscious or sophisticated of photographic approaches, amateur snapshots
follow certain conventions determined by the camera itself and by popular
ideas about what a photograph should look like.... 阅读全帖

评价非常高。
We should start with my recent review of the Sigma DP2 Merrill (DP2M). If
you haven't already done so may I suggest that you read it it now before
proceeding on this page? You should know that if anything my praise for that
camera is actually understated. The DP2M may have the highest per-pixel
usable picture resolution of any camera I have ever used and tested. No,
this is not Michael being hyperbolic. In recent weeks I, along with a couple
of other well known photographers who also boug... 阅读全帖

Like most people, I suppose, I try to avoid seeming like a jerk.
Here are some strategies I try to use:
1. Offer meaningful compliments: Emphasis on the "meaningful." I try to say
things like, “You have a good memory” or “You obviously know a lot about
this subject.” Empty, automatic compliments like “Great tie!” don’t
count.
2. Give credit to others: “The team did all the work,” “Pat came up with
this idea.” Being generous with... 阅读全帖

Volkswagen looks set to acquire Porsche, the troubled German sports car

which could determine the fate of two of Germany's most famous carmakers.
In the end, the two men shook hands after all. When Ferdinand Pi?ch
