Bank Holiday Weekend

Published by comeon under Uncategorized Edit This

Hello everyone, how are you? Especially those of you who are affected by the

earthquake? I hope things are starting to get better for you!!

It’s nearly the end of another week, and here in the UK, we have a Bank Holiday

Weekend, which is a three day weekend.

A bank holiday is a public holiday in the UK, most people get a day off work. You

might wonder why it is called ‘a bank holiday’? In the old days, when banks closed

for a day, no other business could operate, so everything stops for a day, and that’s

why it is called a bank holiday.

We have eight bank holidays in England throughout each year. So this forthcoming bank

holiday is on Monday, which is known as the Spring Bank Holiday and it is always the

last Monday in May. Because the weather is getting better and summer is almost upon

us, most people like to spend time outdoors, maybe to visit friends or to go to the

beach.

So I went around our office and asked my colleagues what their plans are for this bank

holiday weekend. Here’s what they said:

So some are going to see their families and friends, and others are just going to stay

at home and chill out. But did you get what Li’s going to do? She mentioned three

really famous composers, did you get their names?

It’s my birthday this Sunday, so I’ll be going down to Brighton with some friends.

Brighton is on the south coast of England, about an hour on the train from London; it

’s a lovely seaside town and receives about eight million tourists each year. This

weekend is also the end of the famous Brighton Festival, so there’ll be some events

on the beach with firework displays in the evening. My colleague Li Yang has done a

programme on Brighton, have a listen!

Let us know how you are doing over in China and we’ll be thinking of you!

Best wishes,

Feifei

Ten Romantic New Year’s

Ten Romantic New Year’s Resolutions to Improve Your

RomanceStuck.com,an online resource for romance and relationships, offers 10 New Year’s resolutions for improving your relationship in 2008. Resolutions are usually about improving yourself as an individual. They’re not often geared towards improving your relationship. This year, why not set a few romantic resolutions?

10 Romantic New Year’s Resolutions to Improve your Relationship:

1. Set a monthly ‘date night’ and stick to it. Even if it’s just dinner and a movie or a candle-lit dinner together at home, resolve to make time for each other this year.

2. Say “I Love You” every single day. These three small words carry so much meaning, yet they’re never said often enough. Make sure that your partner knows you love and appreciate them every single day.

3. Put your love in writing. Nothing gives you warm fuzzies of love like receiving a simple love note or a passionate love letter. Vow this year to put pen to paper and write your sweetie love notes, love poems, and love letters.

4. Bring back the spontaneity in your relationship! Try sending her flowers “just because”. Buy him 2 tickets to a game of his favorite sport — and go with him! Vow to surprise your partner at least once a month.

5. Get away from it all with a weekend get-away. Head to a cabin in the mountains or a relaxing spa. It doesn’t really matter where you go, as long as you go together and leave the interruptions behind.

6. Show your love each and every day. Give your partner compliments, hold hands, open doors, and engage in public displays of affection. It’s the little things you do to show your love that always mean the most.

7. Shake up your romantic life with a little creativity. Create your own love coupon book with one coupon for your partner to redeem each week of the year. These little coupons can be as romantic, sexy, or practical as you want.

8. Have fun together! Take up a new hobby together this year. Join a softball team together, take cooking lessons, golf lessons, or dancing lessons. You’ll not only learn something new, but you’ll have fun with your partner at the same time!

9. Don’t forget the little things. Make him lunch. Paint her toenails. Wash and wax his car. Do her weekly chores. It’s the most practical way to show your love!

10. Get to know your partner better. Whether you’re dating, just married, or celebrating your 25th anniversary, there is always more to learn about your partner — and you can have fun doing it!

Report: ‘World of Warcraft’ fan site sold for $1 million

Published by comeon under Uncategorized Edit This

Posted by Daniel Terdiman 5 commentsEditor’s Note: This blog originally implied that Wowhead trafficked in the secondary market for World of Warcraft gold (wow gold). But the company says it does not.

There’s a lot of buzz in the World of Warcraft fan site universe this morning, with reports and rumors flying about fan sites being sold, about $1 million sale prices and even scuttlebutt about the uber company in the business of selling WoW gold, IGE, having been sold.

According to a report from the blog, TechSoapBox, the WoW site Wowhead has been sold for $1 million.

Another blog, meanwhile, claims that, in fact, Wowhead was purchased by IGE’s ex-parent Affinity Media.

Getting away for a second from the complexities of what it all means in the WoW, that’s a pretty impressive number if it’s true.

Whether or not Wowhead is involved in the WoW gold business–the company says it’s not–it’s huge business, and it’s changing with the sale of IGE, and other recent developments. I don’t know any exact numbers–nor does anyone else since the buying and selling of WoW virtual assets, and those of most online games, is prohibited by the games’ publishers. But by some estimates, the so-called secondary market for these virtual assets (of all online games) is approaching $1 billion a year.

And if Wow head doesn’t traffic in gold as it claims, then $1 million for a fan site is a lot of money.

More interesting, perhaps, is the fact that IGE has been sold. wow gold

When I was at the Virtual Goods Summit at Stanford yesterday, I had a talk with Brock Pierce, IGE’s founder, and he didn’t say anything about it. It’s true, he was wearing a badge from “Affinity Media,” and admittedly, I am not entirely up to speed on the latest news in this industry, but rather than suggesting IGE had been sold and Affinity was getting out of the secondary market business, he hinted he wanted to get out.

This is all very interesting, and confusing. And as I hear more, dear readers, so will you.
