Ray, you love that mug!?
So I chatted with Ray yesterday, after that crazy dinner.
He won a handmade mug with a 3D sexy chic in shorts covered halfway of her hip. When shaking the mug, you can also get some noise. This is called "有聲有色" mug. (OK, there is another design of the mug set ---- 32G bust style.) So basically, you are touching ........ that place whenever you drink. (Guess he LOVES that impressive SEXY chic mug....wahahahaha)
And he strongly believes I have other "shocking gifts" that can give him as his b-day present. (which I don't, ok!? Am I that.....that.... sigh....)
Anyways, we're gonna meet again tomorrow for a dinner with 2 Christines', Catherine, Viola (Toby hopefully), and Will (if not kidnapped by his GF. Oh I somehow have that weird feeling for the word "kidnap", especially from Ray's mouth...... XD)

Nordic Singelringen
Johan 在斯德哥爾摩的晚宴上遇到了一個女孩 Asa ，兩人開心地聊了起來，聊到他們兩人都是單身，卻都覺得這個年頭，要能分辨誰是否是單身，實在很困難，直接問也很尷尬。已婚的人可以大方地戴著戒指，為什麼單身的人不能也有一個屬於單身的戒指，來表示自己的是單身的狀態？如果彼此知道是單身者，就可以自然地開始交談，不是太美好了嗎？
Singelringen 是瑞典字，代表的是 proud singles 戴的戒指，這個概念由 Johan 發起後，已經在全世界迅速延燒蔓延，全世界的 Singelringer ，都有機會在路上、在咖啡廳、在機場、在火車上、在任何一個角落遇到其他的 Singelringer ，美國、歐洲、日本、南美洲、亞洲， singelringen 的數目正在飛速增加中。
Singelringen 是瑞典傳統工藝與現代 casual 概念的融合，將現代感而顯眼的湛藍色玻璃纖維，接合在純銀 (925) 內戒上，並開一個弦形的弧口，讓內層的銀戒從中透出光澤，象徵對於新朋友，甚至於新的浪漫關係的開放態度。走在路上，很難不被這樣特別的色澤所吸引。
每一只單身戒都有獨一無二的編號，你可以知道自己是全球第幾號 Singelringer ，並且與全世界的單身者展開有趣的邂逅與交談。

Have you thought about MATH that way? (Hart will kill me....)
I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves..........
The Integration of Pretty Little Polly Nomial (18禁)
Once upon a time, (1/T) pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling through a field of vectors when she came to the edge of a singularly large matrix.
Now Polly was convergent and her mother had made it an absolute condition that she never enter such an array without her brackets on. Polly, however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly badly behaved, ignored this condition on the grounds that it was insufficient and made her way in amongst the complex elements.
Rows and columns enveloped her on all sides. Tangents approached her surface. She became tensor and tensor. Quite sudenly, 3 branches of a hyperbola touched het at a single point. She oscillated violently, lost all sense of directrix, and went completely divergent. As she reached a turning point, she tripped over a square root protruding from the erf and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. When she was differentiated once more, she found herself, apparently alone, in a non-Euclidean space. She was being watched, however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was lurking inner product. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear coordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. Was she still convergent, he wondered. He decided to integrate improperly at once.
Hearing a vulgar fraction behind her, Polly turned around and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series extrapolated. She could see at once, by his degenerate conic and his dissipated terms, that he was up to no good.
"Eureka," she gasped.
"Ho, ho," he said. "What a symmetric little polynomial you are. I can see you are bubbling over with secs."
"Oh, sir," she protested.
"Keep away from me. I haven't got my brackets on."
"Calm yourself, my dear," said our suave operator. "Your fears are purely imaginary."
"I, I," she thought, "perhaps he's homogeneous then."
"What order are you?" the brute demanded.
"Seventeen," replied Polly.
Curly leered. "I suppose you've never been operated on yet?" he asked.
"Of course not!" Polly cried indignantly. "I'm absolutely convergent."
"Come, come," said Curly, "let's off to a decimal place I know and I'll take you to the limit." "Never," gasped Polly.
"Exctly," he swore, using the vilest oath he knew. His patience was gone. Coshing her over the coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly removed her discontinuities. He stared at her significant places and began smoothing her points of inflection. Poor Polly. All was up. She felt his hand tending to her asymptotic limit. Her convergence would soon be gone forever.
There was no mercy, for Curly was a heavyside operator. He integrated by parts. He integrated by partial fractions. The complex beast even went all the way around and did a counter integration. What an indignity to be multiply connected on her first integration. Curly went on operating until he was absolutely and completely orthogonal.
When Polly got home that night, her mother noticed that she was no longer piecewise continuous, but had been truncated in several places. But it was too late to differentiate now. As the months went by, Polly's denominator increased monotonically. Finally, she went to L'Hopital and generated a small but pathological function which left surds all over the place and drove Polly to deviation.
The moral of our sad story is this:
If you want to keep your expression convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom.
====================================================
A Math Romance (這這這.....)
They integrated from the very point of origin.
Her curves were continuous, and even though he was odd, he was a real number.
The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair. From then on it was a continuous function.
They were both in their prime, so in next to no time they were horizontal and parallel. She was awed by the magnitude of his perpendicular line, and he was amazed by her conical projections. "Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum. He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude of his simple harmonic motion. They underwent multiple rotations of their axes, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit. After that they slept like logs. Later she found him taking a right-handed limit, that was a problem, because it was an improper form.
He meanwhile had realized that she was irrational, not to mention square.
She approached her ex, so they diverged.

你被冥王星了
冥王星（Pluto）終於得到了一些推崇，但並不是來自天文學家，而是來自文字學者。美國方言學會（American Dialect Society）5日在其年會中，推選「被冥王星了」（Plutoed）為2006年的風雲字彙。
給某人或某物「冥王星」待遇，是指降等或貶低，正如去年國際天文聯合會的大會，決定冥王星不符合行星的定義。
該協會主席伊凡斯說：「我們的會員認為大眾對冥王星被降等的激烈情緒，顯示冥王星這個名字的重要性，我們也許不再相信羅馬神話中的冥王，但我們仍感覺與這個前行星彷彿還有關。」
「被冥王星了」在複選中擊敗另一個詞「氣候金絲雀」（climate canary），成為年度風雲字彙。「氣候金絲雀」的定義是「一種有機體或物種，其健康衰弱或數量減少，暗示一個大環境的災難即將來臨」。其他被考慮的字彙還有flog（推廣產品的不實部落格），和macaca（獼猴，身為一個美國公民被視為外國人），macaca 是前共和黨國會參議員艾倫（George Allen）在競選時，稱呼對手的一名印度裔助理的種族歧視言詞，該名助理是在美國出生的公民。
美國方言學會有117年歷史，由語言學家、文法學者、歷史學家和獨立的學者組成，他們票選年度風雲字彙是為好玩，不具正式引介新字進入英語的資格。
===============================================
看來這跟"ohta-ru"有異曲同工之妙~~~~

史上最強烈的星震，可提供中子星內部結構的線索
 
藝術家筆下想像的爆發事件景象。點選此處可看動畫模擬。 Credit: NASA
一組義大利天文物理學家GianLuca Israel等人，利用美國航太總署（NASA）的Rossi X射線計時測量衛星（Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer），於2004年12月7日偵測到位在銀河另一側的中子星SGR 1806-20發生了一個有史以來，宇宙中強烈的gamma-ray（伽瑪射線）閃焰（flare）爆發事件。這個強烈的爆發現象，將有助於天文學家探測中子星這種神秘天體的內部結構。相關論文發表在7/20出版的天文物理期刊快訊（Astrophysical Journal Letters）中。
這些天文物理學家表示：由於閃焰爆發時，在中子星表面引起強烈的震動，使得中子星表面向太空發射的X射線強度有快速的變動，像是脈搏的脈動一樣，在中子星每7秒鐘自轉一圈的時間內，使中子星表面呈現規律的震動，謂之「星震（starquake）」。與地球物理學家利用地震波研究地球內部結構的原理一樣，天文學家也會利用恆星表面的震動頻率來瞭解星體的內部結構，對我們的太陽亦復如此（稱為「日震學」）。
由星震震動的頻率，天文學家可推測中子星內部，究竟是單純地像一大陀中子聚在一起，還是像絕大部分天文學家相信地：在中子星的核心含有什麼樣如夸克等奇特的粒子？而中子星的地殼，究竟是如何「浮」在中子星的超流體核心（superfluid core）上方？而這次的星震之所以重要，就在於它的震動強度足以讓天文學家分析並檢測理論的正確性。
SGR 1806-20於2004年12月27日發生強烈爆發，它所發出的X射線幾乎橫越半個銀河系而抵達地球，是天文觀測史上曾觀測到太陽系外最強烈的爆發現象；其X射線強度在瞬間讓地球軌道上的所有X射線觀測衛星都為之「眼盲」，地面上的電波望遠鏡也都記錄到這次的爆發事件。天文物理學家們認為：這些伽瑪射線和X射線爆發，應是來自中子星周圍高度扭曲的磁場突然斷裂、回復穩定狀態的過程中而釋放出強大的能量所致。
Israel等人從Rossi資料分析結果發現：巨大閃焰爆發僅持續了1/10秒不到，可是整個爆發的能量相當於15萬年的太陽總輻射量；爆發後約3分鐘左右，Israel等人便發現在中子星表面產生一種特別的震動模式，震波以每秒94.5次的高頻在中子星上震動，接近鋼琴的第22音階；星震震動時間持續了將近10分鐘左右。
根據現行恆星演化理論，當大質量恆星演化至生命末期，核心在無核融合的原料可供使用時，向外的壓力無法支撐向內的強大重力，恆星的內部便發生重力塌縮，而塌縮反彈的震波則向外傳播，使得星體外層被瞬間炸開，是謂超新星爆炸。而向內塌縮的力量也相當強，使得原子核外圍帶負電的電子被擠入原子核內，與帶正電的質子結合而形成中子。因此中子星的密度非常高，但直徑僅有20?30公里左右，約臺北市大小。如果把我們的太陽瞬間壓入一個直徑16公里的球體內，那麼太陽也會變成一顆中子星，屆時在太陽表面僅一湯匙的物質，就會重達數十億噸（不過太陽的結局只會變成一顆白矮星，離中子星的程度還很遠...）。
我們銀河系中的約有數百萬顆中子星，這些中子星的表面磁場強度約為地球的數兆倍；可是，天文學家居然還發現約10顆左右的中子星，其表面磁場強度高達一般中子星的1000倍以上，他們稱這種中子星為「磁星（magnetar）」。任一顆磁星如果位在月球的位置上，其磁場強度將足以讓地球上所有的信用卡都被消磁而無法使用。正因其磁場強度如此之強，因此這些中子星的地殼有時會被磁場給弄皺，並在釋放伽瑪射線與X射線的同時，讓中子星表面發生震動；其中伽瑪射線的輻射量遠超過X射線。到目前為止，天文學家已經發現4顆磁星有發生這樣的現象，且這些都會重複發生短暫的伽瑪射線爆發，因此特別將這4顆磁星稱為「軟伽瑪射線重複爆發源（soft gamma repeaters，SGRS）」。SGR 1806-20便是其中之一。

一個字
今天忽然想到一件很久以來一直懸而未決的事 ---- 我美國的 2005 退稅!!
(都2007了, 不要跟我說我還要再等 orz)
上了銀行網站, 看到一堆數字已經沒啥感覺...... 點進去一看, OH YES!! 2005的稅終於退了~~
雖然不是很多啦, 但是也可以算是"年終獎金"!? (因為本人在新公司未滿3個月....所以99.99%沒有年終獎金, 只好自己阿Q認為IRS發給我年終啦~~)
此時此刻, 只有一個字能形容我的心情 ---- 爽!!!
Wahahaha~~~
(那今天可以跟Vince逛夜市逛到走不動為止.... XD)
