My comment:
(a) Read the first four paragraphs and a sidebar (in print which appears
online as an appendix "Sit, Stay, Relax" (how-to) in web page 3.
(b) My comment: I can not help but chuckle reading this article. But
Americans are not always like this. See

Who is paying for all this bicycle upkeep? And shouldn't bicyclists be
kicking in themselves?
A city councilwoman's recent proposal to institute a $25 annual cycling tax
set off a lively debate that eventually sputtered out after the city
responded with a collective "Say what?" A number of gruff voices spoke in
favor, feeding off motorists' antagonism toward what they deride as stop
sign-running freeloaders. Bike-friendly bloggers r... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 16092 | 4 Forward my friend’s experience in Fremont Main Library (Fremont, California
): Ever since Obama ordered to open restrooms to transgender, for the first
time, people in Silicon Valley witnessed something disgusting. Yesterday in
the library, I saw a Chinese mother anxiously running out of the restroom,
telling people that a masked man in the women's restroom, who was sneaking a
peek of her daughter using the toilet via his mobile! We were shocked. I
hastened to urge a staff member to call in the ... 阅读全帖 |

In a class generally known for bland styling and a lack of driving
excitement, the redesigned 2013 Fusion is a fresh, charismatic newcomer. But
like some promising and talented celebrities, it has just enough quirks to
erode your enthusiasm.
The new Fusion looks upscale and stylish, and it handles like a really good
European sports sedan. We bought three versions: a top-trim Titanium, a mid-
trim SE, and the SE Hybrid. All versions provide a composed, civilized ride

您正好说反了，
关于安静，的确老款的odyssey比较吵，建议你去试驾一下新款的，比sienna安静
看看各专业网站评测

“We found the Sienna's ride to be quite smooth, but did feel there was more
road and wind noise inside than in the Honda Odyssey.”
CARS.COM
"Although the Sienna's drivetrain is much smoother than the Town & Country's
, it's also far less quiet. In fact, it may be louder than your kids. It's
gruff at idle, and engine noise escalates intrusively.”

发帖数: 49 | 7 儿子有天吃晚饭的时候，很严肃地对我说，“妈妈，the ‘辍欧’ is mean and ugly.
” 老妈子我愣了一下，辍欧，什么是“辍欧”啊？
于是我拿出一幅虚心好学的架势，不耻下问，“宝宝，什么是‘辍欧’？是个动物吗？
” 儿子嗯啊之装作没听见。哼，小样儿的，一准也是不知道。
第二天到了幼儿园，我立马儿跟老师如此这般的讲了一遍，老师倒是听明白的，乐着跟
我说他们昨天读了three billy goats gruff的书，原句是the ‘辍欧’ is as mean
as he is ugly。
我一听这可不得了，小子都学会总结了。不过，我还是不知道那个“辍欧”到底是什么
玩意儿。
跟老师借回了那本书，翻开来一看，哭笑不得，原来就是troll......

3.0 Presentation
Nothing about Quantum Theory’s presentation is unique or interesting. The
menus
are ugly, the fonts are boring, and the whole game has a very “budget”
feel to
it.
3.5 Graphics
This game is ugly as hell. The environments look like a series of places
where
aliens vomited on the wall, and the characters are super-clichéd looking.
3.5 Sound
The music isn’t offensive, but the voice acting is. The gruff and ... 阅读全帖 |

Remember that time your heart was. broken by a boy friend who flew the coop
and took your engagement ring and all your dreams with him? Your Pisces boss
casually invited you to dinner, filled your sad head with the nicest
compliments, then hurried you to the theater. Afterwards, he took you
backstage, introduced you to the leading players, and then treated everyone
to a late supper. With all that food and wine and glittering conversation,

Sixsmith,
Dreamt I stood in a china shop so crowded from floor to far-off ceiling with
shelves of

and smash to bits.
Exactly what happened, but instead of a crashing noise, an august chord rang
out, half-cello,

Felicia led the way along a trail that was clearly made a long time ago. She
nimbly stepped over suspicious leaves and rocks. She looked behind her, and
was relieved that Alice and Annabelle were copying her movements. Then,
there was a big, big hole. Felicia backed up and took a running start. Thump
! She landed gracefully on her feet. Just as she was about to continue her
expedition, she heard a yell from Annabelle. With a thumping heart, Felicia
dared herself to turn around. Finally... 阅读全帖 |
