“先说优点。首先画面的确及其精美，鸟语花香的景色，眼花缭乱的战斗场面，还有利用特殊功能的圆盘在空中穿梭的情景，都令我印象深刻。其次，剧情挺不错，留下悬念，最后Elika说的那句what is the grain of sand in the storm是什么意思我没想明白，不知大家怎么理解。
再说缺点。除了上述两条优点外我感觉就没啥了，整个游戏的可玩性实在太差，都是在类似的场景里跳来跳去跳到净化点打boss，然后再在类似的场景跳来跳去收集光球，是在令人腻味，其实玩了1个多小时我就有些烦了，但是抱着善始善终的想法，还是通关了。
战斗画面虽然华丽但是过程枯燥，一个boss竟然要打6遍！！！虽然他们有不同专属技能，但是打法基本都大同小异，我想玩过的都知道是怎么个大同小异，也就推石头人到3个柱子那里还有点意思。QTE系统我感觉是个鸡肋，应该让玩家根据战斗情况来判断出招，可能UBI想把战斗做的简单一些，但是到了 QTE系统时我是往往反应不过来按哪个键子，虽然我知道该按哪个（大家可能会说你操作不好你就说游戏不好啊，没关系，随便说吧，我的确操作不好）。而且过 多的拼刀除了费鼠标外实在一点意义也没有，可能UBI想让玩家感受一下战斗的艰辛？？如果是这样的话或许他们的目的达到了。
收集光球的过程也挺枯燥，关键是场景太雷同，跳来跳去很快就会失去新鲜感。我收到540就没再收了（除了顺路碰到的，实际我通关好像是607个），对隐藏服装我兴趣不大，网上找找看看得了。收集光球这个创意绝对就是从《雷曼》来的。
更令人瞠目结舌的是这是个根本无法失败的游戏，你没血怪有血，他打不死你你却能磨死它；乱跳也死不了，Elika会救你；怎么走路不用动脑筋，按E就知道了。这使得游戏简直一点挑战性没有，谜题和1-3是没法比，太简单了。
想说的就这些，总体我感觉这是个非常花瓶的游戏。我看有人说玩游戏主要是为了感受文化气息（忘了是不是针对波4），我感觉这纯属扯淡，游戏就是用来玩的如果不好玩文化气息浓又有什么用？？不过当我欣赏那些景致时，我可能会暂时忘记上述缺点。 ”
Just simply read the following paragraph:

Can you recall the last time you had to deal with a negative or difficult person? Or the last time someone said something with the intention of hurting you? How did you handle it? What was the result? What can you do in the future to get through these situations with peace and grace?
No matter where we go, we will face people who are negative, people who oppose our ideas, people who piss us off or people who simply do not like us. There are 6.4 billion people out there and conflict is a fact of life. This fact isn’t the cause of conflict but it is the trigger n.触发器 to our emotions and our emotions are what drive us back to our most basic survival instinct; react and attack back to defend ourselves.
In these instinctual moments, we may lose track of 失去控制、联系our higher selves and become the human animal with an urge to protect ourselves when attacked. This too is natural. However, we are the only animal blessed with intelligence and having the ability to control our responses. So how can we do that?
I regularly get asked “How do you deal with the negative comments about your articles? They are brutal野蛮的. I don’t think I could handle them.” My answer is simple, “I don’t let it bother me to begin with.” It wasn’t always this simple, and took me some time before overcoming this natural urgency to protect myself and attack back.
I know it’s not easy, if it was easy, there wouldn’t be difficult or negative people to begin with.
Why Bother Controlling Our Responses?
Hurting Ourselves - One of my favorite sayings is “Holding a grudge[grʌdʒ]怨恨 against someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” The only person we hurt is ourselves. When we react to negativity, we are disturbing our inner space and mentally creating pain within ourselves.
It’s Not About You, It’s About Them - I’ve learned that when people initiate [i'niʃieit] 开始 negativity, it is a reflection of their inner state expressed externally[eks'tə:nəli] 外表上and you just happen to be in front of that expression. It’s not personal, so why do we take it personally? In short: Because our ego自我 likes problems and conflict. People are often so bored and unhappy with their own lives that they want to take others down with them. There have been many times when a random person has left a purposefully hurtful comment on TSN, and regularly checked back to see if anyone else responded to their comment, waiting eagerly to respond with more negativity.
Battle of the Ego - When we respond impulsively [im'pʌlsiv]冲动的, it is a natural and honest response. However, is it the smart thing to do? What can be resolved by doing so? The answer: Nothing. It does however feed our ego’s need for conflict. Have you noticed that when we fight back, it feels really satisfying in our heads? But it doesn’t feel very good in our soul? Our stomach becomes tight, and we start having violent thoughts? When we do respond irrationally [i'ræʃənli] 不合理的, it turns the conversation from a one-sided negative expression into a battle of two egos. It becomes an unnecessary and unproductive battle for Who is Right?
Anger Feeds Anger. Negativity Feeds Negativity. - Rarely can any good come out of reacting against someone who is in a negative state. It will only trigger anger and an additional reactive 反应性的 response from that person. If we do respond impulsively, we’ll have invested energy in the defending of ourselves and we’ll feel more psychologically compelled 强迫 to defend ourselves going forward. Have you noticed that the angrier our thoughts become, the angrier we become? It’s a negative downward spiral 螺旋.
Waste of Energy - Where attention goes, energy flows. What we focus on tends to expand itself. Since we can only focus on one thing at a time, energy spent on negativity is energy that could have been spent on our personal wellbeing.
Negativity Spreads - I’ve found that once I allow negativity in one area of my life, it starts to subtly 敏锐地 bleed into other areas as well. When we are in a negative state or holding a grudge against someone, we don’t feel very good. We carry that energy with us as we go about our day. When we don’t feel very good, we lose sight of clarity 清楚 and may react unconsciously to matters in other areas of our lives, unnecessarily.
Freedom of Speech - People are as entitled 有资格的 to their opinions as you are. Allow them to express how they feel and let it be. Remember that it’s all relative and a matter of perspective. What we consider positive can be perceived 认为、理解 by another as negative. When we react, it becomes me-versus-you, who is right? Some people may have a less than eloquent ['eləkwənt] 雄辩、有口才 way of expressing themselves - it may even be offensive, but they are still entitled to do so. They have the right to express their own opinions and we have the right and will power to choose our responses. We can choose peace or we can choose conflict.
You piss me off. 你气死我了。
15 Tips for Dealing with Difficult People
While I’ve had a lot of practice dealing with negativity, it is something I find myself having to actively work on. When I’m caught off guard and end up resorting to a defensive position, the result rarely turns out well.
The point is, we are humans after all, and we have emotions and egos. However, by keeping our egos in-check and inserting emotional intelligence, we’ll not only be doing a favor for our health and mental space, but we’ll also have intercepted a situation that would have gone bad, unnecessarily.
Here are some tips for dealing with a difficult person or negative message:
1. Forgive - What would the Dali Lama do if he was in the situation? He would most likely forgive. Remember that at our very core, we are good, but our judgment becomes clouded and we may say hurtful things. Ask yourself, “What is it about this situation or person that I can seek to understand and forgive?“
2. Wait it Out - Sometimes I feel compelled to instantly send an email defending myself. I’ve learned that emotionally charged emails never get us the result we want; they only add oil to the fire. What is helpful is inserting time to allow ourselves to cool off. You can write the emotionally charged email to the person, just don’t send it off. Wait until you’ve cooled off before responding, if you choose to respond at all.
3. “Does it really matter if I am right?” - Sometimes we respond with the intention of defending the side we took a position on. If you find yourself arguing for the sake of being right, ask “Does it matter if I am right?” If yes, then ask “Why do I need to be right? What will I gain?“
4. Don’t Respond - Many times when a person initiates a negative message or difficult attitude, they are trying to trigger a response from you. When we react, we are actually giving them what they want. Let’s stop the cycle of negative snowballing and sell them short on what they’re looking for; don’t bother responding.
5. Stop Talking About It - When you have a problem or a conflict in your life, don’t you find that people just love talking about it? We end up repeating the story to anyone who’ll listen. We express how much we hate the situation or person. What we fail to recognize in these moments is that the more we talk about something, the more of that thing we’ll notice. Example, the more we talk about how much we dislike a person, the more hate we will feel towards them and the more we’ll notice things about them that we dislike. Stop giving it energy, stop thinking about it, and stop talking about it. Do your best to not repeat the story to others.
6. Be In Their Shoes - As cliché as this may sound, we tend to forget that we become blind sighted in the situation. Try putting yourself in their position and consider how you may have hurt their feelings. This understanding will give you a new perspective on becoming rational again, and may help you develop compassion for the other person.
7. Look for the Lessons - No situation is ever lost if we can take away from it some lessons that will help us grow and become a better person. Regardless of how negative a scenario may appear, there is always a hidden gift in the form of a lesson. Find the lesson(s).
8. Choose to Eliminate Negative People In Your Life - Negative people can be a source of energy drain. And deeply unhappy people will want to bring you down emotionally, so that they are not down there alone. Be aware of this. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands and do not mind the energy drain, I recommend that you cut them off from your life. Cut them out by avoiding interactions with them as much as possible. Remember that you have the choice to commit to being surrounded by people who have the qualities you admire: optimistic, positive, peaceful and encouraging people. As Kathy Sierra said, “Be around the change you want to see in the world.”
9. Become the Observer - When we practice becoming the observer of our feelings, our thoughts and the situation, we separate ourselves away from the emotions. Instead of identifying with the emotions and letting them consume us, we observe them with clarity and detachment. When you find yourself identifying with emotions and thoughts, bring your focus on your breathe.
10. Go for a Run … or a swim, or some other workout. Physical exercise can help to release the negative and excess energy in us. Use exercise as a tool to clear your mind and release built up negative energy.
11. Worst Case Scenario - Ask yourself two questions, “If I do not respond, what is the worst thing that can result from it?“, “If I do respond, what is the worst thing that can result from it?” Answering these questions often adds perspectives to the situation, and you’ll realize that nothing good will come out of reacting. Your energy will be wasted, and your inner space disturbed.
12. Avoid Heated Discussions - When we’re emotionally charged, we are so much in our heads that we argue out of an impulse to be right, to defend ourselves, for the sake of our egos. Rationality and resolution can rarely arise out of these discussions. If a discussion is necessary, wait until everyone has cooled off before diving into one.
13. Most Important - List out things in your life most important to you. Then ask yourself, “Will a reaction to this person contribute to the things that matter most to me?“
14. Pour Honey - This doesn’t always work, but sometimes catches people off guard when they’re trying to “Pour Poison” on you. Compliment the other person for something they did well, tell them you’ve learned something new through interacting with them, and maybe offer to become friends. Remember to be genuine. You might have to dig deep to find something that you appreciate about this person.
15. Express It - Take out some scrap paper and dump all the random and negative thoughts out of you by writing freely without editing. Continue to do so until you have nothing else to say. Now, roll the paper up into a ball, close your eyes and visualize that all the negative energy is now inside that paper ball. Toss the paper ball in the trash. Let it go!
How do you deal with difficult people? What has worked well for you in the past? How do you cool down when you’re all fired up and angry? Share your thoughts in the comments. See you there!

I simply like Tim Burton's gloomy style,
so I'd like to share this video to you all,
who, pass through my little blog,
willing to find something fun.
Through the dark forest and the cloudy night,
something mysterious is in sight.
Then open your mouth and scream out loud,
or the fear itself will swallow you all.
about the film:
VINCENT is 1982 stop-motion short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs at approximately 6 min in length. It is a story of a young boy, Vincent Malloy, who pretends to be like the actor Vincent Price. He is obsessed by the tales of Edgar Allen Poe, and it is difficult for him to tell reality from his self-imagination. The film is narrated by Vincent Price himself, who is a life-long idol and inspiration for Burton.
VINCENT is also Tim Burton's directory debut.
the poem:
(The VINCENT Poem, written by Tim Burton.
Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven and children's stories by Dr.Seuss.)
Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He's always polite and does what he's told
For a boy his age, he's considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price
He doesn't mind living with his sister, dog, and cats
Though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats
There he could reflect on the horrors he has invented
and wander dark hallways alone and tormented
Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum
He likes to experiment on his dog Abocrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
So that he and his horrible zombie dog
could go searching for victims in the London fog
His thoughts aren't only of ghoulish crime
He likes to paint and read to pass some of the time
While other kids read books like "Go Jane Go"
Vincent's favorite author is Edgar Allen Poe
One night while reading a gruesome tale
he read a passage that made him turn pale
Such horrible news he could not survive
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
Unaware that her grave was his mother's flower bed
His mother sent Vincent off to his room
He knew he'd been banished to the tower of doom
where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife
While alone and insane incased in his doom
Vincent's mother burst suddenly into the room
She said, "If you want to, you can go out and play
It's sunny outside and a beautiful day."
Vincent tried to talk but he just couldn't speak
the years of isolation had made him quite weak
So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen:
"I'm possessed by this house and can never leave it again."
His mother said, "You are NOT possessed and you are NOT almost dead
These games you play are all in your head
You are NOT Vincent Price, you're Vincent Malloy
You're not tormented or insane, you're just a young boy
You're seven years old, and you are my son
I want you to get outside and have some real fun."
Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
While Vencent backed slowly against the wall
The room started to sway, to shiver and creak
His horrored insanity had reached its peak
He saw Abocrombie, his zombie slave
and heard his wife call from beyond the grave
She spoke through her coffin and made ghoulish demands
While through cracking walls reached skeleton hands
Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
swept his mad laughter to terrified screams
To escape the badness, he reached for the door
but fell limp and lifeless down on the floor
His voice was soft and very slow
As he quoted "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe:
"And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted ... Nevermore."

Monkey, Piggy and Sandy from Journey to the West head on a journey to the east for BBC Sport this summer. This animated sequence dwells on the hilarious journey home of these hairy heroes after their Buddhist pilgrimage. They arrive in a Bird's Nest stadium, where the opening ceremony is going on and light the Olympic flame. In the pictured sequence a woman sings Chinese lyrics:" In pursuit of hope and glory, you're gone through all the hardships and dangers..." It's genius to join the Olympic spirit with Chinese classic lore. The video was produced by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the men behind the virtual band Gorillaz. It is featured on TV, radio, Web and mobile, introducing coverage of the Games on BBC Sport. (21st Century)
Monkey, Piggy and Sandy's transformation moves contain different Olympic Events, such as horizontal bar, hurdle race, pole vault, javelin, hammer, running, kungfu and diving. Check out the clip below. For more information, please visit BBC - Meet the Monkey.

LOLz ... Funny guy singing a funny song with a funny performance ... Let's have a party!!! Happy joy :D
【Estonia】Gerli Padar - Partners In Crime
Such a good song. What a pity it couldn't enter the Grand Final. She must be the most charming lady that night, shining brilliantly in the darkness!! This video clip's awesome! Btw, her brother Tanel Padar won the eurovision in 2001 :D She should at least be in the Top 10, in my opinion.
【╋━】Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone 17th
This song rocks! Finland is all about Rock and Rolls, and I love this song for absolutely no reason. Though screaming and groaning into a microphone can release one's ill-temper for some time, I always know that suffering and misery are still on the way. Maybe this is what life all about ...
【Russia】Serebro - Song number one 3rd
Very disappointed. I used to like Russian Music a lot but certainly not this one. I hate the funny faces they made and the terrible lyrics. Their performance on stage proved that their talent existed only in the video clip. Though I must admit that the choreography is pretty cool. Might be in the Top 10, but definitely not the second place. My suggestion is, to appreciate the beauty and throw away the evil.
【Spain】D'Nash - I Love You Mi Vida 20th
"Mi Vida" means "My Darling".
Great Spanish song! But the performance is not that good, otherwise the climax of the show wouldn't be in a mess. The choreography doesn't even match the music (boooooring). But my overall impression is favorable.
【Ukraine】Verka Serduchka - Danzing 2nd
;D What a fuck that human is a girl or a boy i can't understand it may be a gay who knows?!! Those weirdoes, singing in German (and English), took all this as a joke, and the audience was no exception! Another crossdresser in ESC 2007 which really drives me insane ... My attitude is, to laugh often and much!
[lyrics:] Sieben sieben ay lulu, sieben sieben einz zwei / Sieben sieben ay lulu, einz zwei drei / Tanzen! So who can tell me what the hell is that?
[lyrics:] I want you sing: Russia goodbye ~ So, Verka goodbye! Ha!
Thanks for listening, sorry for the dirty words. These two Top 3 songs have no mercy on my poor nerves! I was shattered when I found out so many good songs were failed to the Final. But unfortunately, nowadays the voting seems to favour the Eastern European countries which is a shame.
2007年的欧洲歌唱大赛Eurovision Song Contest(ESC)在芬兰首都赫尔辛基举行。
Host country: Finland
Dates: 10 May 2007 (Semi Final), 12 May 2007 (Grand Final)
Won by: Serbia
【Belarus】Koldun - Work Your Magic 6th
One of my favorite in ESC 2007. There is a Russian Version online, but I like this better. Belarussia always has good songs, though always fails. Some people hold very strange oppinions about the artist on Youtube ... but what the hell ... why don't we just listen to the song??
【Czech Repblic】Kabatae - Malá Dáma
"Malá Dáma" means "Little Lady".
This song should have won the ESC 2006, but not in 2007. I know why, because, compare with the other songs in 2007, they're sooooooo different!!! The song's great, the performance's good and the lyrics fits well too. They deserved to go further in the competition! I would have voted for them if I could. Here is their video in English Subtitle, and I'm quite confident that some of you will enjoy it!!
【Denmark】DQ - Drama Queen
Hmmmm...very interesting. You won't believe it until you see the truth by your own eyes. When I saw this video, something flashed through my mind: Drama Queen = DQ = Drug Queen. OMG ... everybody ... HIDE!!!! Haha ... that's a joke ... His performance is amazing and the general effect of the show is absolutely overwhelming!
【Germany】Roger Cicero - Frauen Regier'n Die Welt 19th
"Frauen Regier'n Die Welt" means "Women rude the world".
Beautiful melody, but still not enough. Too Hollywood and the performance's ok (He may swallow the microphone). The songs from Germany always give me the feeling that they're selling some semi-finished products. I mean they have plenty of space to improve. But I also wish I know German, so that I can enjoy the song much better!
【Greece】Sarbel - Yassou Maria 7th
"Yassou" means "Hello".
Well prepared！This guy is hot, Hot, HOT!! But someone said this dance made him gay, Gay, GAY ... anyway ... In my opinion this song is good for Eurovision Song Contest. In ESC, a song full of enthusiasm gets access to success. Sarbel really did a good job. Look at the audience's reaction！This is one of the best songs in ESC 2007. Please enjoy！
【Switzerland】DJ Bobo - Vampires Are Alive
A song that caught my attention immediately the first time I heard it. But I'm not surprised if you get tired of it later. It's really not the style of song that can make to the final, though a very cute vampire indeed.
The most commonly phrase about Eurovision these years is 'it's all political'. And it's difficult to argue with this when you look at the results of this year's contest. Only 8 out of the 24 competitors in the Grand Final hailing from the western side of Europe. We now faced the very real possibility that, other than the 'Big Four' of UK, France, Germany and Spain, the 2009 final could have been made up entirely of entries from the Eastern side of Europe. Eurovision has gone East - and the West are going to find it very difficult to get it back again.
