The Honda recall

What’s the function of an airbag? The answer might be clear, but in the recent “Honda recall” case, it seems that this question is kind of hard to answer. Because there are airbags cannot do their duties.

In Jennifer Griffin’s case, she was nearly got killed during an accident not because anything else but the airbag, her airbag shot out mental fragments when the accident happened. It may be kind of ridiculous, an airbags is supposed to save your life when accidents happen instead of hurting it. And this case is definitely not a separate event or an exception, you can find victims across the country.

The victims got together and filed a lawsuit against Honda, which considered being the cause of the later Honda recall.

Honda admitted that there were problems with the cars and decided to do a limited recall to placate the discontent of the victims and to protect the public credibility of Honda. The call back is limited and specific Fahrzeugtyp m is given.
Loss is definite done, both the victims and Honda Corp., while to insure the rights of customers is the most fundamental issue for such a transnational corporation, Honda have no excuse to get out of this.

Rush Limbaugh’s magic----Quick weight loss center

“I've never lost weight faster than this diet.” Yet he didn’t know how to speak out what the diet exactly is. Rush Limbaugh’s losing 58pounds weigh is definitely a boom and quickly became the craze. Limbaugh did everything he can to let the folks understand his magic diet, while he said that it’s nothing magic, only strict control on calorie intake, nothing to de with magic. The diet he follows to is so complicated that he just can even describe it in detail. While what we know is that we should count the daily calorie, because Limbaugh said that his recent daily calorie intake is about 1500 calories, which means you would easily excess the number only by eating a steak.

If we want to know what exactly make Limbaugh so fit, the only way is to consult the one who made him, which I mean the Quick Weight Loss Centers. It seems that everybody knows it, because there are millions of people searched for the center, which said to help Limbaugh to achieve this, put the center stay aloft on big search engines.

As it’s reported, Quick Weight Loss Centers offers a comprehensive program of behavior modification and weight reduction, stabilization and maintenance that is professionally supervised for safest results and nutritionally designed to develop proper eating habits.

While I don’t know if it really could pull you out of the accumulated fat, there is an choice to make, get in or ride the fence.

Rumor Has It: the back thrust

Synopsis: Sarah Hettinger (Jennifer Aniston) is in a fog. She's finally agreed to marry her boyfriend Jeff (Mark Ruffalo), but isn't at all sure that marriage is what she really wants. Now she's on her way home to attend her sister's wedding, which means spending a lot of time with the tennis-obsessed Pasadena family that she's never felt quite a part of. It isn't until Sarah stumbles into a well-kept family secret that she starts to question her roots and sets off in search of the man who may have the answers she's looking for (Kevin Costner)
Released on Christmas Day of 2005, this movie is just hot back again, without any omen. While certainly this is a movie worth your attention. Apparently it is the first work of Jennifer after her divorce, my original desire to watch this movie also came from J, I do love her. While, this movie is more than Jennifer to be recommended, seeing this movie will remind you the graduate, the story line is kind of similar. The main “spirit” of the movie: People are always looking for a person who are audacious, exciting and at the same time can give you a sense of security, However, it seems that it is so difficult for a person to meet such needs, so we simply need more than one partner.
Did I just get your empathy, that is what I see from this movie, of cause, not just this, but I think it’s just the spirit.

Comparison of Tim Alderson and Freddy Sanchez

Yesterday, a trade went on between the Giant and the Pirate, the latter got Giants minor-league pitcher Tim Alderson for its second baseman Freddy Sanchez. Fans of the Pirates may thank God for answering for their preys, compare to which, some Giants fans are just not so excited about this move. How these situations happen? Here comes a comparison between the two players.

First, the physical situations, eleven year older than Alderson (he’s 31 and Tim’s 20), Sanchez’s situation is not very ideal for Giants, and his left knee, although have been checked twice, it would affect Sanchez’s performance.

Second, the integration capabilities, now Tim Alderson is at his 20th and holding his own double-A, it is universally acknowledged that a player like Alderson is uncommon and data shows that he's 20 years old and pitching in double-A with exceptional command and control for his age. As for Sanchez, definitely he has his own advantage in his defense, he could plays a solid but unspectacular second base, which will help fill a season-long hole for the Giants. While, I am not very confident about his offense, would it really be better than the current second baseman Juan Uribe?

It’s widely approved that for a player like Sanchez, Alderson is a great return for the pirates. Sanchez would be a wonderful complementary player, but he definitely should not have cost an A-level pitching prospect.
So, it seems that fans of Giants slop over for something.

Cash for clunker—not enough to pull us out

In frontline treatment, we advocate self -aid and mutual aid. So do us in economic treatment.
“Cash for clunker” ----the lately passed consumption stimulating project, is expected to help the car industry to get through the trying winter. This may be an effective program to stimulate consumption and I believe the result of the project may profit the entire American. It could be considered as an American self-aid measure and It leads to the better side.

While, I don’t think another economic program from Washington could bear as much fruit as “cash for clinker”. Now, American is trying to follow the lead of Asian Economics’ export oriented development pattern, that is, by selling goods to other markets. This could be considered as a mutual aid program, but the question is and remains: Could other Economics really help even if they are willing to (or have to)? Just take a look at the general situation of Global demand and we can find that the alarm of Global demand shrinks is not yet all clear. Some Economists even warn that the severe overproduction may cause a world wide deflation.

Under these situations, Export orientation just seems so weak to help us out of the downturn. Maybe Washington should just really use its head.

About Apollo Alliance

The Apollo Alliance is a coalition of labor unions, business organizations, environmental protection organization, aiming at improving the environment and creating a more high-quality and “green-collar” working environment.
To achieve this, the Alliance makes great effort to catalyze a clean energy revolution in American. From the top of environmental problems----the energy problem, the Alliance propose that we import less chemical energy source, since America is the biggest energy importer, if we can import less chemical energy source and at the same time spend more on R&D about clean energy, not just American,(since we all share the same Planet) the entire world could benefit from this act. What’s more, by doing this, the national expenditure could be reduced and maybe this could also be a path to get through the economic crisis.
While, a revolution means not only about which kind of energy we use, but also the way we use it. It is a revolution in the way our country generates and uses energy, so profound that it will touch literally every quarter of American life.
More than just saying and hoping, the Alliance has a plan to achieve this, the New Apollo Program put forward an economic investment strategy to accelerate American into being a state with a healthy and clean energy economy and a state ,as the biggest economic in the world , more responsible to the world.

cash for clunker

Obama’s new move “cash for clunker” find its supports in the House of Representative: yesterday, the House passed the proposal, which would really cheer lots of people up. What? You don’t agree with me. Will, the chance of getting at least $3500 by replacing your fuel-hungry vehicles with a low oil consumption ones, I don’t know what you would say, as for me, I won’t just ignore it, and so do a considerable amount of customers, car dealers and auto manufacturers.
Although the objectors say that the “cash for clunker” project may aggravate the government's debt burden and it seems that this is quiet a strong argument, I think the proposal (a proposed low now) is timely. Car industry has been being America’s cornerstone industry for like a century, however, under the lasting crash of the economic crisis, it became kind of cachexia. This project maybe could not solve the problem radically, but for families and small companies, it would be expense cutting and for auto manufacturers and car dealers, it would help them to attract more customers.
So! Nothing else needed to be told, time to say goodbye to your gas guzzler and bring a beauty home. Get moving!! Go and get “cash for Clunker”!!

Solar Eclipse, wonderful

Solar Eclipse in Hawaii on July 22 2009 is just bite size as told by Hawaii Health Guide. It’s a pity I failed to view it by myself.

Things keep changing and sometimes they are unbelievable. Like all solar eclipses, today's solar eclipse only happens during a new moon, for that is when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth.

During a an eclipse, the Sun, the Earth and the Moon are in a straight line during a solar eclipse and the Sun seems to be ‘overshadowed

Celestial logic is it that ensures a lunar eclipse only happens during a full moon, when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth.

However the "size" of the moon appears larger or smaller during different eclipses, changing the duration of time for the darkness of total eclipse.

Total solar eclipses usually take place about once every 18 months, and always at new Moon - when the lunar body sits directly between the Sun and the Earth.

The next total solar eclipse will occur on 11 July next year. It will be visible in a narrow corridor over the southern hemisphere, from the southern Pacific Ocean to Argentina.

Anticipating, hoping when that day comes, I will enjoy the moment without difficulties or obstructions.

Apple earnings & apple

As reported on Tuesday third-quarter earnings from apple are higher than analysts had expected, but provided its usual conservative guidance.

Do you like apples? I know there are many girls favor apples a lot. Many celebrities eat apples instead of other foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner so as to keep fit and beautify their skins; many patients eat apples for the sake of a good appetite; many young children eat apples to find funs from it, many factories have apples coming out of varies by-products of apples, etc.

Seeing how multifunctional the apples are, there is no reason apple earning won’t rise.

One apple per day, keep the doctors away. This is true. We can eat apples, we can drink apple, and we can play apples.

Being one of my favorite fruits, apples will always be the apple in my eyes, and I hope, no matter for the nutrition or for the body shape, people you and me will enjoy the benefits bought by lovely apples.

Brown University for Emma

“Oh, my life's terrible!” Doubtlessly, everybody never want to hear someone closed to him or her is complaining all day long like this, neither will themselves, so it is true for Emma, our outstanding actress, who has released the news that she is going to enter the Brown university specializing in literature.

I was just graduating from my university and I am now beginning to miss campus life, which is coexisted with both competition and great enjoyment, friendship, love, study, part-time, hanging-out, shopping, classes, parties, etc, all these happy moments were still lingering on my mind.

I am of the decision made by Emma that she is going to one of the Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A to read literature.

Our lovely star demonstrated that she is anticipating sparing sometime from her acting life to experience university days, which is her favorite thing to do. “I am not trying to hide anything like that. It sounds so geeky, but I really do something like studying and reading, and if I’m not working on Harry Potter, then my greatest relaxation is to sit with a book” she said, ”That’s how I escape stress---in literature.”

It doesn’t mean that she’s completely exclude the life as an actress after she enter into the university, she’d willing to include in her new life at college if the right movie comes along.

I can’t say that university life is the most exciting and interesting times in our life, yet, is the memorable and meaningful moment in our lifetime.

The Orange County (the O.C.)---Luke

Marissa's protective boyfriend is a prince of Newport Beach - a child of vast wealth and privilege. However, the pressure to be the perfect son often forces Luke to bury his insecurities behind a cocky attitude, charming smile, and a sometimes bullying bravado.

As a result, he is adored by his girlfriend’s parents, envied by his fellow students, and desired by a legion Newport Beach Beauties. Though committed to the idea of being Marissa's boyfriend, Luke is less than committed to the idea of being faithful to her.
A star athlete and the captain of the water polo team, Luke stands with Marissa in the center of the OC in crowd. Their longtime relationship represents the status quo that is immediately threatened by Ryan's introduction to the community. Ryan's continued presence in the OC ultimately forces Luke to confront his deepest fears and feelings or risk losing Marissa forever.

The most things impressed me a lot is that Luke was a guy of similarity to the main actor in The Graduate, both of whom have sex with two generations in the same family. It sounds dirty and unbelievable, yet, reflecting some facts exiting in our society and unreasonable scandals or mistakes committed by helpless and emotional human beings.

Actually, I have no comment about Luke, some kind of ignorant him. Nevertheless, gradually I found he is also a nice guy in other fields. People change, that’s right.

The Orange County (the O.C.)---Marissa Cooper

This time, we are talking about Marissa Cooper, a charming young lady.
Daughter of Jimmy and Julie Cooper, Marissa has lived next door to the Cohen's her entire life. She has it all, great friends, a great boyfriend as well as a perfect family. So we think... the day she meets Ryan, changes occurred in her world. Over the series tough choices and responsibilities were waiting for her.

With each new decision, she tells the entire community, "I don't care what you think." She stands by her father, befriends Seth, leaves her boyfriend and finds herself falling in love with the ultimate outsider. Like Kirsten Cohen, who was in her shoes at that age, Marissa begins to make choices that will define her as a woman, and determine whether her path would lead her away from the O.C or deeper into its heart.
Marissa and Ryan would begin a relationship that would be challenged every step of the way. Whether it is the jealous ex-boyfriend, the over-controlling mother, or past girlfriends returned, it would never be easy for Marissa and Ryan.
But when Ryan's ex-girlfriend, Theresa, hoped to escape her life in Chino, everything would turn upside-down. Theresa would later become pregnant with a child that was uncertain to be Ryan's. Ryan however, did the right thing, and left with her to Chino in order to help build a strong new family.
Marissa was left devastated and unsure of her relationship with Ryan. Her mother, Julie, would marry the villain Caleb Nichol and force Marissa to live with her. Since then, Marissa has returned to her out-of-control behavior and her future with Ryan is uncertain.

Seriously, this can tell from the series that Ryan and Marissa are a nice match, this is what a couple supposed to like, like the feeling I have to my beloved, I mean, in terms of the time they are being together. However, Marissa is not that smart enough, she often made mistakes when confronting relationships, for instance, and simply regarding any relationships as friendships, regardless what Ryan would think, and then lead to disaster for both of them in the end.

In this case, they are alike. As an old saying goes, after suffering comes happiness, so is true for two lovers.

The Orange County (the O.C.)---Ryan

Today, I’d like to share with you The Orange County, which has been loved by thousands of teenagers and prevailed in USA for long. This sitcom has enjoyed not a few awards, such as “The best sitcom” “The most outstanding sitcom” “The most favored hero” “The most favored actress”, etc.

In this sitcom, there are Ryan, Cooper and Luke whom I am interested in.

From Ryan's first moments in Newport Beach, he finds himself in conflict with a strict social and economic hierarchy that has existed for generations and doesn't tolerate any incursion from outsiders. His very presence in Newport Beach threatens the security of its inhabitants and their way of life simply because this troubled teenager is unable and unwilling to conform. Ryan's arc for the series will continue and expand upon the 'fish-out-of-water' dynamic established in the pilot. Throughout the series, Ryan's outsider status will continue to set him apart from the O.C. elite, but his continued presence in their community ultimately shines like a bright light on the fact that everyone, no matter how rich or powerful, feels like an outsider at heart.

Ryan would come to win the heart of Newport's princess, Marissa Cooper. While they would eventually be together, many obstacles blocked their way. The two would try to tear them apart, and while they stayed strong, it would eventually be Ryan's ex-girlfriend Theresa who would pull them apart.

When Theresa appeared in Newport, hoping to escape Chino, everything would be turned upside-down. Theresa would later become pregnant with a child that was uncertain to be Ryan's. Ryan however, did the right thing, and left with her to Chino in order to help build a strong new family.
Theresa would later lie to Ryan and tell him that she has lost the baby. Ryan would then return to Newport to live with the Cohen’s again. However, Ryan and Marissa may never recover this time.

By reading this, what kind of guy Ryan in your mind? Do you like him, or dislike him, or just without any feeling towards him. As for me, I don’t really favor Ryan, though he is integrated , handsome and kind, he can control himself in a love relationship, or let say, he can do a good job as a boyfriends is supposed to do.

When you fall in love with someone, faith and royalty is of vital importance. You can just fall in love with two guys or two girls; neither have affection with anybody else. While for Ryan, when he was being together with Marissa, though, we can tell from his eyes, she is really his true love; he is still lingering in his ex-girlfriend and has affairs with her, naturally and intuitionally. How come this happen? This is unfair to Marissa.

I have no idea whether is so-call passion, which is beyond the control of human being, but at least I know that, once you know this would happen, why not stay away from him or her, then nothing would happen.

Maybe I am kind of prejudice because apart from which, all in all Ryan is a nice guy.

I would share with you some other characters next time.

Sex and city

Long time ago we have been introduced into this sitcom by our university teachers, and lots of my classmates therefore have become “Sex and city” fans, of course, including me.

At first, I was not quite fond of the scenes, characters, and stories involved in this sitcom, because the some pictures occur on the screen are not that decent, which, as far as a student’s concerned, does not matched our status. Some girls will felt humiliated if they were found by others that they have seen the sitcom. Besides which, as for my consideration, the actors display in the sitcom are not handsome or beautiful enough. Even in some situations, I found that the ladies are far beyond the endurance of the audiences in terms of looks. And lastly, stories are kind of departure from innovation.

But why I have become a fun of them too in the end? This is really a tough question. Yet, I can explain some.

Firstly, though they don’t own outstanding appearances, they are sexy, charming, and trendy, which is what most youngsters are pursuing.

Secondly, the stories are not updated adequately; yet, many are closely related to our life here and there. From which we can learn how to maintain a relationship well including the relationships that between lovers, relatives and friends. When we are confronting the TV or PC and enjoying the sitcom, we can learn, we can feel, and we view.

Doubtlessly, there are still lots to account for the reason why I fall in love with this sitcom, but I have to call it a day since all those points failed to break into my mind in a second.

My dear friends, have you seen this movie, what do you think this sitcom?

Wish we can share!
