Lovelife紀錄片 完整版

This is a documentary about three 15 year old girls, and their brave journey in life. All three of these girls were diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, but instead of waiting to die, they chose to use their story to inspire others. We took 3 1/2 years to document the story of Dora, Yi-Hwa and Chia-Wen, hopefully after you watch it, not only will you appreciate your life more, but you will realize that you also have the power to help others. Please help us forward this documentary to others, so that more people can receive this gift from God.

Love Life 4 ever

Man Utd Home and Away Jersey 12/13

I'm very disappointed with the new design...

Man Utd Home Jersey 12/13

It look like table cloth......

Man Utd Away Jersey 12/13

The away jersey is still acceptable....

Faith is More Than Feelings

Faith is more than something you just feel. Many people confuse emotions and feelings with faith. They come to church and they are moved emotionally, they're inspired, and they're stimulated. They get a quiver in their liver and say, "Oh, man! I'm moved!"

And they go out after the service and maybe they even cried a little or felt God's presence. But just because you feel God's presence, doesn't mean you have real faith. There's a big difference between faith and feeling.

James says faith is not mere sentimentality. You go out on the street and you see some homeless person who's destitute. They're poor, they're hungry, they're cold, and they need clothing and shelter. And you walk up to them and say, "Well, I'll pray for you."

That's not faith. Faith is compassionate. How many times did Jesus say, or it was said about him, "He was moved with compassion for people." Faith is practical. It gets involved in people's hurts. And when you see a need, you do something about it. That's real faith.

James 2:15-16 NIV
Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?


*Taken from Rick Warren's Daily Devotional

Confident About the Future

How long is forever going to last? Forever! Someday your body is going to die, but you aren't! You're going to live forever in one of two places - heaven or hell. They're both real places. You will spend eternity in heaven or hell.
Why should Christians be thei most confident people about the future?
"Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:6, 8 NIV)
For Christians, death is a transfer, a promotion. It's on to better things; no more problems. You're not ready to live until you're ready to die. You don't know how to live until you're ready to die. Only a fool would go all through life totally unprepared for something that everybody knows is inevitable.
You're going to die - someday. If you've accepted Christ, then you're going to go to heaven. You'll be released from pain, from sorrow, from suffering, from depression, from fear: "He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good - tears gone, crying gone, pain gone - all the first order of things gone." (Revelation 21:4 MSG)

Acoustic style

I always enjoy acoustic set like this...

Frequency Range

Please Note – The values below are marely guides, each mix is unique and individual so experimentation is advised.

Low Bass: Anything less than 50Hz

This range is often known as the sub bass and is most commonly taken up by the lowest part of the kick drum and bass guitar. Boosting blindly in this area without valid reference point can and will permanently damage most speakers, even PA systems. You have been warned!

Bass: 50-250Hz

This is the range you’re adjusting when applying the bass boost, although most bass signals in modern music lie around the 90-250Hz. A small boost in the upper ranges will add some presence and clarity.

Muddiness/irritational area: 200-800Hz

The main culprit area for muddy sounding mixes, hence the term ‘irritational area’. Most frequencies around here can cause psycho-acoustic problems. If too many sounds in a mix are dominating this area, it will become annoying.

Mid-range: 800-6kHz

Human hearing is extremely sensitive at these frequencies, and even a minute boost around here will result in a huge change in the sound – almost the same as if you boosted around 10db at any other range. This is because our voices are centred in this area, so it’s the frequency range we hear more than any other. If you have to apply any boosting in this area, be very cautious, especially on vocals. We’re particularly sensitive to how the human voice sounds and its frequency coverage.

High Range: 6-8kHz

This is the range you adjust when applying the treble boost. This area is slightly boosted to make sounds artificially brighter/’lifelike’

Hi-High Range: 8-20kHz

This area is taken up by the higher frequencies of cymbals and hi-hats. Boosting in this area requires a lot of care – it can easily pronounce any background hiss, and using too much will result in a mix becoming irritating.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EQ Guide for Soundman and Musician

Please Note – The values below are marely guides, each mix is unique and individual so experimentation is advised.

Instruments and Vocals EQ

Kick Drum & Toms

Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. Try a small boost around 5-7 kHz to add some high end.

50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom to the sound

100-250Hz ~ Adds roundness

250-800Hz ~ Muddiness Area

5-8kHz ~ Add high end presence

8-12kHz ~ Adds Hiss

Snare

Try a small boost around 60-120Hz if the sound a little too wimpy. Try boosting around 6kHz for that ‘snappy’ sound.

100-250Hz ~ Fills out the sound

6-8kHz ~ Adds presence

Hi hats or cymbals

Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. To add some brightness try a small boost around 3kHz.

250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area

1-6kHz ~ Adds presence

6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness

Bass Guitar

Try boosting around 60Hz to add more body. Ant apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. If more presence is needed, boost around 6kHz.

50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom end

100-250Hz ~ Muddiness Area

800-1KHz ~ Adds beef to small speakers

1-6kHz ~ Adds presence

6-8kHz ~ Adds high-end presence

8-12kHz ~ Adds hiss

Piano

Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. Apply a vey small boost around 6kHz to add some clarity

50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom

100-250Hz ~ Adds roundness

250-1kHz ~ Muddiness area

1-6kHz ~ Adds presence

6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds hiss

Electric Guitars

Apply either cut or boost around 300Hz, depending on the song and sound. Try boosting around 3kHz to add some edge to the sound, or cut to add some transparency. Try boosting around 6kHz to add presence. Try boosting around 10kHz to add brightness

100-250Hz ~ Adds body

250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area

1-6kHz ~ Cuts through the mix

6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds hiss

Acoustic guitar

Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off between 100-300Hz. Apply small amounts of cut 1-3kHz to push the image higher. Apply small amounts of boost around 5kHz to add some presence

100-250Hz ~ Adds body

6-8kHz ~ Add clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness

Strings

These depend entirely on mix and the sound used.

50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom end

100-250Hz ~ Adds body

250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area

1-6kHz ~ Sounds crunchy

6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness

Vocals

This is a difficult one, as it depends on the mic used for the vocal. Apply either cut or boost around 300Hz. Apply a very small boost around 6kHz to add some clarity.

100-250Hz ~ Adds ‘up-frontness’

250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area

1-6kHz ~ Adds presence

6-8kHz ~ Adds sibilance and clarity

8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness
