这部在1998年首演的音乐剧，估计是李小葱最喜爱的音乐剧了，忍不住在这大吼一声。

 

这是原版的几位主演，现在都换人了，可是他们所演的版本在网上久久流传着，我脑中的印象也还是他们几个。

他们当时都是法国流行音乐界的当红歌手，诗人Gringoire演员是位著名的摇滚歌手，他的表演被广为称赞。神父Frollo则是李小葱最爱的！演的很好，成功的演出了内心的压抑，让我觉得他反而是最可悲最值得同情最值得爱的一个人，因为他痛苦最大他最爱Esmeralda吧，而他不能算一个坏人，他的那一切的手段，只不过是为了战胜自已忘掉Esmeralda而已。记得有一段是他看着Esmeralda在月下静坐梳头，神父独唱出对她的期待和内心的矛盾，音调越来越高，反映了灵魂中越来越大的痛苦挣扎，但是乐曲的终了又回归中音，显示热情又一次被压抑下来，因为他是一位副主教。金属的高音，磁性性感的中音与动作与眼神，演的天衣无缝！恕我词穷！我觉得这个角色是最需要演技的，后来的版本的演员长的太年轻，觉得他再演不出来原版那么好的了。

 

最喜欢的场景也是最著名的场景，《美人》（《Belle》），位于整部音乐剧的中场休息之前，是一场合唱，Esmeralda坐在场前端中间，先是Quasimodo吟诵Esmeralda的美貌与对她的向往，然后是Frollo演唱同一段，然后是Phoebus，同样的旋律，都唱得各有特色，最后是三个人合唱，Frollo唱低音合声。三个男主角分站在舞台的左中右，不同的歌词，显示他们对于Esmeralda爱的不同层次，Quasimodo是向往，Frollo是人性的弱点，Phoebus是大胆的情爱，意义不同，相同的是歌声中的那种撕心裂肺的爱的感觉。用心听他们唱，我也不经为他们感动叹息。

据说当初它首演时就震撼了整个欧洲艺术届，第一次就在巴黎就连演了126场，是法国有史以来最成功的音乐剧。而李小葱也是第一次看就被震了，是在五六年前在北大的日子，我至今都觉得它是最好的音乐剧，个人觉得比《猫》好很多，（猫的fans不要砸偶，我实在不喜欢猫的造型），比芝加哥（也很爱），红磨坊也要好。一个10年以前的音乐剧现在看来还是非常的现代流行，很难得。如今，它反复翻新换人场景越来越好，但是音乐不变，因为太完美了。永远珍藏着，不时翻出来，不时被感动。

百年不遇超级彗星大爆发 总体积已经超过太阳(组图)

一颗名为“霍尔姆斯”的彗星突然爆发，亮度增加了近百万倍，天文专家称这是百年不遇的彗星大爆发。最近半个月，您可在英仙座寻找这颗奇异彗星。该彗星的彗发与彗尾结构不明显，您可能会误以为它是一颗恒星。

据《中国日报》报道上月底，“霍尔姆斯”彗星突然爆发，亮度增加了近百万倍。如今，这颗彗星亮度虽然变暗，但不断膨胀的“身体”让其体积超过了太阳。

图为望远镜拍摄到的彗星“霍尔姆斯”(左)的照片，照片还提供了同比例的太阳(右)和土星(右下)图像以进行对比。

这张照片是加拿大安大略省的业余天文爱好者拍摄的，显示了“霍尔姆斯”彗星在不同日期的位置。

太阳是太阳系中质量最大的天体，而相对渺小的“霍尔姆斯”彗星由于大爆发后不断释放气体和尘埃物质，使得其彗发(星云状的发光云体)已超过太阳的直径。夏威夷大学天文学家介绍说：“‘霍尔姆斯’如今已是太阳系中最大的单一物体。”

据夏威夷大学天文学家雷切尔·史蒂文森等人的测算，截至11月9日，“霍尔姆斯”的彗发直径达到869,900英里(140万公里)，而太阳的直径约为864,900英里(139.2万公里)。

业余天文爱好者11月1日拍摄的照片(左)；照片显示“霍尔姆斯”的彗发由中心一层层尘埃物质和一条模糊的彗尾构成。哈勃天文望远镜11月4日拍摄到的照片(右)对“霍尔姆斯”彗星做了更为细致描写。这幅照片显示尘埃物质以水平偏转方向形成的蝴蝶结造型。

虽然“霍尔姆斯”在大爆发后，已开始变暗，但现在肉眼还可以依稀看到它的形状：黄昏后变成一个模糊的小点，高高挂在天空。这颗彗星从市区看有些模糊，不过换成是乡村则变得异常醒目。美国宇航局太空网天空观察栏目作者乔·拉奥说：“如今，在茫茫夜空中，它看上去是非常醒目的圆形云朵。”

据专业天文网站“太空气象”称，11月19日，“霍尔姆斯”的彗发将呈现透明状，届时将上演独一无二的天文奇观：“这颗彗星将从英仙座最亮的恒星‘天船三’身边滑过，像被吞噬似的，这绝对是不可错过的一幕。”

恩恩恩，狮子座守护神是最多才多艺，最英俊最美，最阳刚的阿波罗，也就是光明之神--太阳了。

他的经典形象就是个大帅哥，一手拿着竖琴，一手拿着象征太阳的金球，驾驶着太阳战车。

 

今天连着几天阴沉的天空中终于露出一丝阳光

早上明晃晃的阳光洒在李小葱身上

眼睛中映满了透明的光泽

温暖温馨

整个心情豁然开朗

脚步也变轻松

心想就算冬天一步步逼近

就算一场雨打落所有红红黄黄的树叶

短暂的阳光还是能带来愉悦

 

看来至少我这个狮子是不能缺少阳光滴~

赶明不会是要住热带去了吧。。。

 

好，继续倒计时回家

最好能在回家之前完成planned的实验

据说北京要下雪了

花花，我要通知你准备聚会鸟

我李小葱又回来啦！

好久木有见过你们了~

光光节，哦耶，散花~

单身比失恋幸福，老大如是教育我们，光光的筒子们共勉~

 

想念西门鸡翅了，回去一定要吃饱吃好，只有一个月就可以回去鸟~

写写qualify exam，前前后后痛苦煎熬了三个月，从五月份的动员会，到最后正式结束。当然要写写纪念一下。

 

painful，long-drawn, suspensive tortures。

一开始过于看重这个考试，又总觉得要求很高，所以洋洋洒洒地写了n个实验。再加上ambitiously选了个新而又新的题目，一共2周半的写文章的时间，结果悲剧发生于交稿前一周，有篇做差不多一样的paper发出来，全盘计划又打乱。最后一周超级赶的跟老师们讨论，把文章给糊弄出来了。

明知写的很烂，还是猪头地交了上去。几度生不如死的等结果（@￥#￥@*~**@！#&*&&。。）。最后是把实验cut掉了3/4，才安全的通过。

 

我就在想是不是自己承受压力的能力太差，后来才知道除了像luoshuo那样彪悍的人，大家都很suffer。

有的一周找心理医生四次，有的直接去喝酒，连美国学生都那样，像李小葱这样幼小心灵的小屁孩在快结束的时候有资格考试综合症，也算不太坏了。

尤其是我们的MSTP的同学们，其中一个成绩非常好的，居然被虐的差点家庭破裂了，在重考之前毅然决然的quit掉了，安安心心的回去读MD。大家都唏嘘不已，羡慕的居多，毕竟人家有选择的资本，就算不做science，照样能做很好，现在不enjoy做科学了，眼都不眨下地跟老板说了。他老板开始还劝他，最后被他说服了。美国学生的个性确实很强~

 

qualify过去了，现在又是RO1季节，让我意识到，grant proposal大改小改都是常事，reviewer喜不喜欢也只能吃斋念佛祷告看他们心情了~ 不要12%能pass，自己得个12.3%什么的fail掉，hoho~

失恋分手的歌总是写的很好。

范玮琪

你用浓浓的鼻音说一点也没事
反正又美又痛才是爱的本质
一个人旅行也许更有意思
和他真正结束才能重新开始
几年贴心的日子换分手两个字
你却严格只准自己哭一下子
看着你努力想微笑的样子
我的心像大雨将至那么潮湿
我们可不可以不勇敢?
当伤太重心太酸无力承担
就算现在女人很流行释然
好像什么困境都知道该怎么办
我们可不可以不勇敢?
当爱太累梦太乱没有答案
难道不能坦白的放声哭喊?
要从心底拿走一个人很痛很难

看完了色戒，发现自己想说的太多，却因为心情起伏，无法写出一篇有逻辑的东东。把最强烈的印象写下来吧。

 

朋友无法明白王佳芝，但是我理解，作为一个女生。

 

我感慨伟仔的演技，我想不出易先生别的样子，除了伟仔的表情留在我心中的印象。王佳芝临死的时候，一副平静而释放的表情，她确实解脱了。可惜易先生要比王佳芝坚强，所以当他下令杀王佳芝的时候注定他要承受更多心里的折磨。王佳芝生是他的人，死是他的鬼了。但这样的手段和决断也许让更多的人骂他了吧。可这才是一个特务头子。否则，王佳芝也不会被打动了。铁汉柔情，说的就是这种了。我也相信易先生最后是明白王佳芝的爱的，我宁愿，或者我希望易先生是明白的。这样易先生也不会太心碎。这部片子是冲着伟仔去的，最后也让我为他的痛而痛。演的非常成功，除了他没别人能演出来一个不让人痛恨的特务了吧。

 

我为李安喝彩。看过张爱玲的原著，短短的一个故事，看完也没有什么感触。反是这部电影，多了这些心理，这些肢体，人物立刻变得丰满起来。原著会让人很想痛扁王佳芝，电影让我感同身受的同情她。原著里结尾显得很没有逻辑和理由，可是电影却铺陈地如此的自然，结局中王佳芝颤抖的睫毛，就让人完全理解了结局。

 

我还是要赞汤唯。演的很好。虽然开始挺生硬，但是越演越好。拿她和章子怡来比较没什么意义，可是还是忍不住地想，小章是肯定演不了这个角色的，而汤也是演不了玉娇龙的。所以归到底，还是要赞导演，挑对了人。导演眼中看到了什么故事，有了对的人，就自然能演出来好的效果。但是不是每个导演都能找到对的演员，都能看到有深度的故事。或许汤唯演艺妓回忆录会比小章演的好很多？我觉得这部片子是李安的一个飞跃，比以前的任何一部都要好。心理描写越来越细腻。我也更感叹，李安能把女性的心理揣摩得这样到位。赞李安！

 

真的有太多要说了。一部片子给我的震撼如此之大，也觉得很奇妙。走出影院还记得伟仔抬起的泪眼婆娑，心理还是一阵阵冲击波。无论男生女生都赞不绝口的好片子!

 

这部片子不是在教育大家爱国，也不是希望世界和平。只是一个极端的爱情放在一个动荡的大环境中。这样扭曲的爱情可能哪个时代都存在吧，只是乱世赋予了这段爱情更多的色彩与戏剧性。

 

all in all，这片子很好，推荐！

被小龟点了，hoho，开始自我曝光一下。。。

 

 

 

In the spring of 1941 the Gestapo and SS officers came to our home and arrested my mother. This is one of my earliest memories. Although I was only 3-1 /2, I sensed that I would not see her for many years. She was incarcerated as a political prisoner in Dachau, Germany...

My mother anticipated her arrest by the Gestapo. Prior to their arrival, she sold most of her possessions and gave the proceeds to in Italian peasant family in the Tyrol so that they could take care of me. I lived on their farm for one year. It was a very simple life.

For reasons that have never been clear to me, my mother's money ran out after one year and at age 4-1/2 I set off on my own. I headed south, sometimes living in the streets, sometimes joining gangs of other homeless children, sometimes living in orphanages and most of the time being hungry. My recollections of those four years are vivid but not continuous, rather like a series of snapshots. Some of them are brutal beyond description, others more palatable.

In the spring of 1945, Dachau was liberated by the American troops. My mother survived the concentration camp and set out to find me...As a reminder of her flair for the dramatic, she found me on my ninth birthday. I am sure this was by design. I did not recognize her. In five years, she had aged a lifetime. I was in a hospital when she found me. All of the children in this hospital were there for the same reason: malnutrition. The prospects for most of those children ever leaving that hospital were slim because they had no nourishing food. Our daily diet consisted of a bowl of chicory coffee and a small crust of old bread. I had been in that hospital in Reggio Emilia for approximately one year. Scores of beds lined the rooms and corridors of the hospital, one bed touching the next. There were no sheets or blankets. It was easier to clean without them. We lay naked on those stripped beds. Our symptoms were monotonously, the same. In the morning we awoke fairly lucid. The nurse, Sister Maria, would take our temperature. She promised me that, if I could go through one day without a high fever. I could leave the hospital. She knew that without any clothes I was not likely to run away. By late morning the high, burning fever would return and we would pass into oblivion.

The same day that my mother arrived, she bought me a complete set of clothes, a Tyrolean outfit complete with a small cap with a feather in it. I still have the hat. We went to Rome, where I had my first bath in six years, and then to Naples. My mother's younger brother, Edward, had sent her money for two boat tickets to America. I was expecting to see roads paved with gold in America. I found much more: an opportunity.

My mother and I lived with my Uncle Edward and his wife Sarah. Edward Ramberg, my mother's younger brother, was a brilliant physicist. Among his many contributions was his discovery of how to focus electrons, knowledge which he used to build the first electron microscope. His books on electron optics have been published in many languages, including Japanese. Another achievement of which he was less proud was being a principal contributor to the making of both black and white, and color televisions. While I grew up in his home, television was not allowed...

Sarah and Edward took on the challenge of converting me into a productive human. This was a formidable task. I had received no formal education or training for living as a social being. Quakers do not believe in frills but rather in a life of service. My aunt and uncle taught by example. I was given few material goods but every opportunity to develop my mind and soul. What I made of myself was entirely up to me. The day after I arrived in America, I went to school. I started in third grade. I was a good, but not serious student in grade school and high school. I attended an excellent high school, a Quaker school north of Philadelphia, George School. The teachers were superb, caring, challenging and enthusiastic.

After Antioch, I set off for the "mecca" of molecular biology, Harvard University. I interviewed with Professor James D. Watson, of Watson and Crick fame, and asked him where I should do my graduate studies. His reply was curt and to the point: "You would be...crazy to go anywhere else." The simplicity of the message was very persuasive.

Professor James D. Watson had a profound influence on my career. He personified molecular biology and his students were its eager practitioners. His bravado encouraged self-confidence in those around him. His stark honesty made our quest for truth uncompromising. His sense of justice encouraged compassion. He taught us not to bother with small questions, for such pursuits were likely to produce small answers...

Doing science in Jim's laboratory was a blast. As a graduate student, I was provided with what appeared to be limitless resources. I could not be kept out of the lab. Ninety-hour weeks were common. We were cracking the genetic code, determining how proteins were synthesized and isolating the enzymatic machinery required for transcription. At this time, Walter Gilbert also was working in Jim's laboratory. He was a member of the physics department, but was bitten by the molecular biology bug. Jim and Wally complemented each other brilliantly, because they approached science from very different perspectives. Jim was intuitive, Wally quantitative. As students, we received the benefits of both.

My entry into what was going to become the field of gene targeting started in 1977. I was experimenting with the use of extremely small glass needles to inject DNA directly into the nuclei of living cells. The needles were controlled by hydraulically driven micromanipulators and were directed into nuclei with the aid of a microscope. Using this experimental paradigm, I asked whether I could introduce a functional gene into cells by injecting the DNA directly into their nuclei. This procedure turned out to be extremely efficient. One in three cells received the DNA in functional form and went on to divide and stably pass the gene on to its daughter cells. The high efficiency of microinjection meant that it was now practical to use this technology to generate transgenic mice by the injection of DNA into one-cell zygotes which were then allowed to come to term as embryos in foster mothers...

An observation that I personally found fascinating from these early microinjection experiments was that when multiple copies of a DNA segment were injected into a cell, although they were integrated into a random location within the host chromosome, they were always present in head-to-tail concatemers. Such highly ordered concatemers could be generated in two ways: (1) By replication, for example by a rolling circle type mechanism; or (2) by homologous recombination. We were able to prove that the concatemers were generated by homologous recombination. The significance of this observation was its demonstration that mammalian cells contain an efficient machinery for mediating homologous recombination. At the time, this was a startling discovery, because it was always assumed that the function of homologous recombination in all organisms was to ensure broad dissemination of the parental genetic traits to their offspring by shuffling these traits in the germ cells. Finding evidence for this activity in mouse fibroblast cells implied that all cells, somatic as well as germ cells, were capable of mediating homologous recombination. The machinery in somatic cells appeared to be very efficient, since I could inject over one hundred copies of a DNA sequence into a cell nucleus and they were all neatly incorporated into a single ordered head-to-tail concatemer. I realized immediately that, if I could harness this machinery to carry out homologous recombination between a newly introduced DNA molecule of our choice and the same DNA sequence in the cell's chromosome, I would have the ability to mutate at will any specific gene in the living cell...

In 1980, I submitted an NIH grant application outlining experiments intended to test the feasibility of gene targeting in mammalian cells. This part of the grant was soundly rejected. In the opinion of the reviewers, the probability that the newly introduced DNA would ever find its matching sequence within the host genome was vanishingly small and, therefore, the experiments were not worthy of pursuit. Despite this rejection, I decided to forge ahead with these experiments using a paradigm that was capable of detecting gene targeting events at a very low frequency. Once we observed a gene targeting event, we could optimize the conditions to improve its efficiency. By 1984, we were confident that it was feasible to do gene targeting in cultured mammalian cells and I presented our work at a memorable symposium on homologous recombination held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. We resubmitted our grant application to the NIH. This time, the grant proposal was received with enthusiasm, and the new critique started with the words, "We are glad that you didn't follow our advice."好搞笑，这个老头也挺逗，哈哈哈哈

I have taken you on a brief journey through my experiences. Looking back, I marvel at the resilience of the child. As I lay naked on that stripped bed so many years ago, my constant preoccupation was fixed on plotting an escape. In the absence of any apparent hope, the will to survive persists.

It is not clear whether those early childhood experiences contributed to whatever successes I have enjoyed or whether those achievements were attained in spite of those experiences. When dealing with human life, we cannot do the appropriate controls. Could such experiences have contributed to psychological factors such as self-reliance, self-confidence or ingenuity? I have always considered as a personal strength the ability to concentrate for long periods of time on a chosen topic at the exclusion of everything else that is going on around me. Is the ability to participate in such mental exercises learned from experiences of prolonged preoccupation?

What I have learned from my own experiences is that the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to such talents as creativity are too complex for us to currently predict. In the absence of such wisdom, our only course is to provide all of our children with ample opportunity to pursue their passions and their dreams. Our level of understanding of human development is too meager to allow us to foresee which of the children in our midst will be the next Beethoven, Modigliani or Martin Luther King.

李小葱肥来鸟~~

刷blog，除荒草。。。

可惜了没去成中秋晚会

先上OZARKS Lake的图片，听老罗说每年都是在这里，classmates里有去过genetics的，Biochem, MCB的，大家都觉得相比较这个地方是风景很好的一个，地方很大，有山有水的~ 虽然食物还是一样的buffet和BBQ。。。options多，但是不精致

 

早上到了以后，就开始了讲座，吃了个chocolate蛋糕就坐了下来，都是postdoc和student的'data-blitz' talk, 尔尔，快睡着了。

终于等到了keynote speaker。也不怎么期待的，结果一开始就发现很有意思，dendritic development和plasticity。哈哈，居然做的是CPEB，我原来minigrant写的gene，而且她们又开始研究另一个mRNA binding蛋白，当当当，FMRP，俺的BS thesis 蛋白啊。恩恩恩，觉得研究的东西都是相互关联的。yanan 提到任何两个人都可以由少于6个人联系起来的理论，呵呵是不是生物研究里，任何两个gene都可以由少于n个gene联系起来呢？ ^@^

keynote speaker完了，就是lunch。服了老美，吃来吃去就那么几种东西，太没创意了，一点都不精致。salad还能吃。之后，大家就一起去climbing，说到这个李小葱真是晕啊，我是第5个sign up的，一共10个名额。但是，但是，first year和faculty有priority。李小葱居然都是second year了！！5555 于是变成了第二个alternate。最终没能爬那个tower，沦为御用业余photographer。。。=_=b
狠狠的拍了Tim Holy（做olfaction的faculty）爬的时候费力的样子，哈哈，Mena 要post到website上去哦。

下午的data blitz还是催眠。。。于是跟J同学一起跑出去玩，hike来着，可惜木有看到应该有的water fall和骑马地。
回到湖边，自己慢慢地走，觉得心情好多了，拍拍照片，拍着湖边，拍着天空，拍着鱼儿，拍着幸福的人们，拍着自己的背影，拍着自己的青春。有些思念的存在是煎熬，让时间慢慢冲淡它吧。

dinner，好几个人跟我说下午的keynote speaker讲的很好，哭死。当时觉得那个speaker反正也是个system neuroscience guy跟我也没什么关系，所以跑出去玩。后来听说讲的很深入浅出，可惜鸟。难道错过的都是最好？就像错过的这次的中秋晚会。zhehao同学仿佛办的很赞呢~

晚上，poster session。今年心情又不同了。去年来的时候，谁都不认识，进来也听不大懂。这一次几乎都有了概念，聊的也很欢，才觉得收获多了好多。party时候放了今年的vedio，学生和老师一起joke现在的funding issue，太tm搞笑了。那么多coolcool的老板配合演出，比如Gina Story扮演街头女郎，Paul Taghert演流浪汉，连校长都客串了，油菜花啊，服了。然后还是beer game，赫然发现David Van Essen也在game 队伍中，玩的比学生还欢，于是狂汗。。。系主任真放的开啊~

n，就这些了。希望明年的时候还有心情去retreat。=）

The talk from Iran's president at Columbia Univ.

我也着实pf了一把columbia和伊朗总统。顶住压力啊~

前面一段里，校长同学也真是不容易，要面面俱到啊。

 

 

哈哈，还有远在德国的卢立同学仿佛没有什么事情，在外的同学们都一定注意身体，不要熬夜（pia飞自己，自己就经常熬）。中秋快乐！ ：）
