An ancient rock formation, Wilpena Pound is the best known attribute of the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Its bowl-like structure creates a natural amphitheater and has been said to resemble a hand and twisted fingers.

Discover the True Curry[发现真咖喱]

Curry -- the word usually refers to a dish flavored with curry powder or something served at an Indian restaurant, as if all Indian dishes with spicy sauce could be lumped into a single category. This, of course, is not the case.

In fact, authentic Indian cuisine never involves the prepackaged combination of spices known as curry powder. In southern India, however, many dishes make liberal use of curry leaves. Despite their name, these leaves taste nothing like curry powder.

Curry leaves are small, with a smooth surface and pointy shape. They add a slightly peppery flavor to all kinds of dishes, from stews to yogurts, from soups to sauces.

Curry leaves grow in neat rows on either side of stems, which are usually discarded (although whole sprigs are sometimes added to sauces). Curry leaves are edible, and they are considered by some people to have medicinal benefits.

Zombie(The Cranberries 小红莓合唱团)

小红莓合唱团(The Cranberries)是来自爱尔兰的四人团体,爱情、背叛、政治一直是 the cranberries 音乐的主题,主唱 Dolores 独特的唱腔,有时柔弱轻快,有时强力的呐喊,吸引了世界无数的乐迷,他们以爱尔兰式 neo-folk 的音乐风格,细腻的舒情歌,忧虑愁怅的旋律,唱出他们崇尚和平,关怀世界的理念。 Zombie 是小红莓最经典的歌之一,它让 Cranberries 在1995年的全欧MTV音乐大奖上拿到“年度最佳歌曲”。这是首“反战”的歌曲,社会意义深重。它以向 Zombie 叙说的方式,暗指了战争带来的祸乱。粗砺的吉他,强劲的鼓声,以及主唱撕裂声音般的唱腔,向战争发出了直指人心的控诉。

歌词:

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But You see it's not me,
It s not my family
In your head,in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head
In your head they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fighting
With their tanks ,and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
