Always explain your assumptions and reasoning.

Canada says marriages of foreign gays invalid
By David Ljunggren | Reuters – Thu, Jan 12, 2012.
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The government is abruptly arguing that the same-sex
marriages of many foreigners who wed in Canada are not valid, a move that
stunned the gay community and could affect thousands of couples.
In 2005, Canada became one of the first nations in the world to formally
legalize gay marriage. Same-sex couples have been marrying in their
thousands in Canada, and lenient rules on residency ... 阅读全帖
Canadian pipeline needs aboriginal consent: chief
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc's controversial plan to build a pipeline to
the Pacific Coast from oil-rich Alberta requires the consent of aboriginal
bands, some of whom staunchly oppose the project, Canada's top native leader
said on Wednesday.
The contention underlines the difficulties facing Enbridge as it tries to
push through the C$5.5 billion ($5.4 billion) Northern Gateway project,
which would cross land belonging to many Indian bands, or... 阅读全帖

I think this is his underline message, in which I totally agree with him.
Different ppl have different physical, mental, fitness and talent. Don't
push because others pushes, or play topspin because ppl around you do....
know yourself, know your game and find your own style.
sure, I'm mainly talk about the player with styles similar to Bill and I.
But the underline theme is the same for OnlyTheBall type of the player as
well. In that sense, this is the reason why pusher can win more matches
against same level of players. They don't care how hard you hit the ball,
how pretty your strokes are, they just focus on themselves and the ball,
move and push it back in play....
I think you missed my underlining philosophy which is it's just another shot
and you are playing for the next shot... there is no level of
aggressiveness as you described. Sure, some shots may seem more aggressive
than others from spectators point of view. But to the player himself its
just another shot... a shot with 3 options of execution.

"On the D700 body provided for this test, the lens suffered from an
extremely serious front-focus issue, which could not be resolved with menu-
based AF fine tuning. For our sample images, we had to resort to manual
focusing or contrast-detect auto-focus (LiveView “Tripod” mode). Note that
we did not experience the same problem with the lens mounted to a Nikon D70
though, which underlines that front- and back-focusing issues are not
solely lens-dependent." http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/... 阅读全帖

Frank Dikötter’s Mao’s Great Famine {henceforth “MGF”} is the
longest and most detailed study of the Great Leap Forward (GLF) famine to

outrage, and sometimes MGF reads more like a catalogue of anecdotes about
atrocities than a sustained analytic argument. In style and approach it

I think it really depends on the context of the TV. The "pass out" could
mean the guy was so drunk and he passed out. The "faint" usually has
underline meaning of being a medical condition, such as the brain is lack of

Mormons and religious freedom
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have great reason
to revere religious liberty. From a history that at times has involved
religious persecution, Mormons have a special appreciation for the freedom
to speak and live according to their convictions and faith. Religious
liberty, in fact, has been significant for Mormons since the beginning.
Church founder Joseph Smith was a strong and generous proponent of this
principle, and he recognized that... 阅读全帖
