最好的聖誕禮物..送給你!

每逢接近聖誕節 百貨公司就會人潮洶湧 大家都趕在聖誕節前夕買好聖誕禮物送給我們親愛的家人、朋友。送禮物是愛和快樂的表現。聖誕節送禮物其實是有含義的,是為了紀念神送給世人一個最好的禮物——耶穌基督。



聖誕節是慶祝耶穌基督為了人類而降生在這世界
因此 最好的聖誕禮物,不在百貨公司的櫥窗裏頭  最好的聖誕禮物,是馬槽裏的嬰孩耶穌

因為耶穌 我們懂得什麼是愛
因為耶穌 我們有了生命和盼望
在這聖誕佳節 我要把這份寶貴的禮物送給你們。
神已經將這最好的禮物送給你(妳)了,你(妳)願意接受這份禮物嗎?
祝大家  Merry Christmas!
願神的愛和祝福包圍你們!





別忘了! 耶穌是我們慶祝聖誕的理由!

Avatar阿凡達 IMAX 3D

上週五剛上映的阿凡達電影 首週末北美票房高達7300萬美元 這部花了四年時間完成的電影 據說是歷史上花費成本最昂貴的電影之一。不只製作成本貴 Avatar的行銷早在電影上映前好幾個月就已經到處可見 包括許多的跨業行銷: 與Panasonic的3D TV結合LG的手機麥當勞的Big Mac, 還有早在年初的Super Bowl Ad就出現過的Avatar可口可樂廣告。大家現在都在等著看James Cameron這部阿凡達的票房是否會超越當年的鐵達尼。決定今天晚上下班後和D去看Avatar IMAX 3D (這部一定要看3D的 畢竟它可是運用了最新的3D camera拍攝)。原本昨天就要去看 誰知道我下午四點溜去要買六點的票時 早以銷售一空,索性今天就提早中午就跟D兩人跑去買今晚6點的票 還好電影院離我們公司只要7分鐘車程 來回跑不會花太多時間。

放映前一個小時到電影院,因為片長加上廣告達3小時 原本打算先買個晚餐邊排隊邊吃,結果我到的時候隊已經從門口排到電影院外了,只好趕快先排隊然後打電話叫D早點過來,順便幫我買吃的。還好排了差不多20分鐘左右就開始進場了,不然外面風實在很冷。坐到的位置也很好 在中間偏後面的地方 看加大螢幕的IMAX戲院剛剛好。

觀後感: 3D效果很好,會讓人感覺身在其中,而不會頭暈。3D還是要在大螢幕看才好看,3D TV要發展起來,恐怕還需一段時間。Storyline不錯,讓我想到Pocahontas。James Cameron說最原始的科幻片都是有教導人的元素,後來的科幻片很多都少了這點,但科幻片不應該只是一些幻想而應該要有一些啟示。Avatar再一次的刻畫出人類受對於財富、利益的追求,而心被蒙蔽,只有當穿上對方的鞋才會懂得設身處地為他人著想。

2009聖誕排練

過去三個月的每個週五團契結束後及週日下午的活動都是聖誕音樂劇的排練 可能是太久沒運動 剛開始練習的時候 總是沒過半小時就已經累了 隔天還手酸腿酸 這禮拜就要正式表演了 感覺還沒練熟就要上場 真是緊張 >< 不過好在我們只有跳短短的一首歌。話說這次的小男主角是個又會唱又會演的小弟弟,我光看rehearsal的時候都被感動到眼淚快掉下來 (還是是我太愛哭?)。

[研究] 美國感恩節電視仍是熱賣商品

每每到了Black Friday 又是電子商品大減價的時候 也就是分析師忙著分析從感恩節起到聖誕節所謂的血拼季節的時候


LCD TV Prices See 22% Price Reductions Over Black Friday


By Greg Tarr -- TWICE, 12/1/2009





El Segundo, Calif. - U.S. retailers during the week of Black Friday cut prices on LCD TV models by an average of 22 percent from pricing immediately prior to the event, causing sales to rise by 6 percent from a year earlier, according to a preliminary estimate released Monday by iSuppli.


"Defying some pundits' expectations, U.S. retailers this year were able to offer their customary Black Friday promotional deals for LCD TVs, which represent a critical factor in driving annual sales growth," stated Tina Tseng, analyst for iSuppli.


In large part due to the deals offered on and before Black Friday, the fourth quarter is typically the strongest period of the year for the U.S. LCD TV market. An estimated 28.7 percent of 2009 LCD TV shipments in the United States and Canada are projected to occur in the fourth quarter. iSuppli predicted LCD TV shipments in the United States and Canada will rise by 15.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.


U.S. LCD TV sales are preliminarily estimated to have risen by only a low-single percentage point on Black Friday 2009, compared with 2008.


However, many retailers offered special Black Friday deals starting on Thanksgiving Day or throughout the seven-day period from Nov. 21-27. For the seven days, LCD TV sales are estimated to have risen by as much as 6 percent compared with a year earlier, according to a preliminary estimate from iSuppli.


The most common set offered via Black Friday promotions this year was the 32-inch high-definition LCD TV.


The report stated average U.S. Black Friday promotional pricing for 32-inch LCD TVs declined to $369, down 24.7 percent from $490 before the event.


The biggest average price reduction was for 19-inch LCD TVs, at 36.8 percent, followed by 26-inch sets at 34.9 percent.


Average U.S. Black Friday promotional pricing for 40-inch LCD TVs declined to $577, down 23.3 percent from $752 before the event.


Price reductions for larger LCD TVs were more modest, with 42-inch sets experiencing a 7.3 percent decline and 46-inch sets dipping by 7.2 percent.


"In the 40-inch and larger screen sizes, better-featured models were offered for Black Friday deals," Tseng said. "The majority of Black Friday promotions were for FullHD, i.e., 1080p-resolution (progressive-scan) models. Models with 120Hz refresh rates also were found in the 42-, 46- and 55-inch screen sizes."


"Premium LCD TV brands, such as Samsung, LG and Sony, led the way in offering aggressive pricing deals on Black Friday," Tseng said. "Because these companies sell their sets at higher price points than the value brands do, they are able to make steeper cuts during Black Friday. This translates to greater dollar savings for consumers, making the deals attractive."


Sony was singled out for offering LCD TV sets bundled with other products as special Black Friday deals.


"Sony was very aggressive with bundled deals," stated Riddhi Patel, iSuppli television systems principal analyst. "They bundled LCD TVs with items such as PlayStation3 video game consoles and Blu-ray players. Other brands offered bundles that included wall mounts and audio bars."


Some retailers also offered special online deals that include free shipping and no taxes.

[FB 遊戲] 我也開始玩Facebook的開心農場

這幾個禮拜忙裝修房子的事 忙得不可開交。每天上班之外的時間 都在房子跟Home Depot, Lowe's, 櫥櫃店, 磁磚石頭店來回奔波。完全沒有"Me" time。好不容易前兩天有一點點空檔上了一下Facebook,看到requests裡面,有許多朋友透過一個叫開心農場的application送花給我。好奇之下就點了下去,才發現原來是一個種菜的小遊戲。試玩了一下,買種子、種種子、等收成,還可以去偷別人的農作物,在沒有太多的娛樂時間,這個小遊戲好像蠻適合的。因為每天只要有五分鐘空檔,就可以收一下菜,播一下種。玩了之後發現朋友裡面玩這個遊戲的人還真不少 很多人的地都已經全部種滿了! 原來還需要有農民幣這種東西才可以開發土地。一開始不知道農民幣要怎麼獲得 以為一定只能用真錢買,不過製作這個遊戲的人還真聰明,讓玩家除了用錢買,也可以藉由回答一些免費的問券調查或sign up一些免費試用品來獲得農民幣。利用這樣打廣告和獲得問券回答者,讓廠商跟遊戲創始人都可以獲利。


以下是免費獲得農民幣圖解:

今晚吃了涼拌苦瓜

上禮拜五Sherry拿了兩顆她種的白玉苦瓜給我 從我有記憶以來似乎沒有真正吃過苦瓜 小時候媽媽煮苦瓜湯的時候 我頂多喝一點點沒有苦瓜的苦瓜湯 因為實在覺得苦瓜太~~苦~~


長大後看很多身邊的人似乎都會吃苦瓜 所以這次Sherry拿苦瓜給我時 我就收下了 想說也來試試做個苦瓜料理


今天上網查了幾道苦瓜食譜後 決定嘗試做涼拌苦瓜 原本想弄鹹蛋苦瓜 但家裡沒有鹹蛋這種東西 所以就作罷


涼拌苦瓜


把一條苦瓜洗淨後 切半 用湯匙把裡面的籽跟白膜挖乾淨 (白膜是苦味的來源 所以要挖乾淨點比較不會苦)


用削皮刀把苦瓜切成透明狀的絲


加一匙鹽到削好的苦瓜攪拌攪拌 靜待20分鐘 等苦瓜出水後把水倒掉


將苦瓜泡冰水一下 苦瓜瀝乾後 將醬油 水 少許檸檬汁拌勻後倒到苦瓜 (醬油跟水1:5)


=========


我吃了後還是覺得苦瓜真的是苦 但大衛潘卻說不會苦 還全吃完了 不知道是安慰我還是真的覺得不會苦 


今天晚上經過超市時 去買了鹹蛋 改天再把另一條苦瓜拿來煮鹹蛋苦瓜好了 看看會不會"比較"不苦一點
