素不相识
萍水相逢
刚收到的邮件通知，够稀罕的！
Please be advised that a small snake has been sighted on the lower level of the facility in the lab areas past the shipping dock (away from cubicle areas).
I ask that if you see the snake you do not panic and imperil yourself or your co-workers especially when operating equipment. The snake moves away from people rapidly once sighted.
A pest control company has been contacted to determine if assistance can be provided in finding and removing it from the facility.
If you have questions, please let me know.

去年家里车库也钻进条小蛇，儿子把它装在金鱼缸里准备当宠物。过了一夜便不翼而飞。至今都没想明白它是怎么逃走的。大概是蛇妈妈将它救了出去。

8月17日，北京射击馆迎来奥运会射击比赛的最后一天，在男子50米步枪三种姿势的决赛中，美国选手埃蒙斯在前九枪取得巨大领先的情况下，最后一枪仅打出4.4环的成绩，将冠军拱手送给了中国选手邱健。中国选手邱健以1272.5环意外“捡”到一枚金牌，这也是中国射击队的第五块金牌，同时也是中国代表团在本届奥运会上的第28枚金牌。美国选手埃蒙斯自2004年雅典奥运会，第二次以同样的失误失掉几乎到手的金牌。
怎么也没想到，都过去4年了，关键时刻他又“抽”了……
埃蒙斯，这无论如何也是一个伟大的姓氏，称其为火器世家不为过，以马修·埃蒙斯为核心，老婆、老爹、岳丈都是使枪的好手，本应该两杆步枪纵横天下，一双伉俪威慑枪坛的。可是马修·埃蒙斯昨天却再次关键时刻掉链子，将金牌拱手让人。
埃蒙斯第一次“扬名天下”是在雅典奥运会上，他在领先3环的情况下，最后竟然把子弹射向了别人的靶子，神奇地赠送给贾占波一枚金牌；第二次“尽人皆知”是因为和老婆激情一吻，在北京奥运首金争夺战中，卡特琳娜顶着丈夫的姓氏击败了杜丽，间接地帮他正名；第三次则是“家喻户晓”(至少是在中国)，昨天，马修·埃蒙斯秉承着自己的“光荣传统”，在最后一枪领先3.3环的时候，犹如灵魂附体般地再次“友情奉送”给中国选手邱健一枚金牌……
这一次他没有脱靶，而是打出了超低的4.4环。很难说他在这4年间是进步了还是退步了，你说进步了吧，他上次最后一枪虽打到了别人的靶子上，可那好歹也是8.1环，你说他退步了吧，这次怎么说也认准了自己的靶子……看来，这似乎和技术的优劣无关，最后一枪的魔咒始终缠绕着埃蒙斯。
倒霉的埃蒙斯值得我们玩味，但绝不应该是冷嘲热讽的对象，他应该获得应有的尊敬。因为——
埃蒙斯的比赛始终不缺乏故事，而这些故事无不泛着家的温情。四年前，卡特琳娜应捷克电视台之邀担任解说嘉宾，恰好目睹了埃蒙斯的离奇失利，之后在雅典的小酒吧里两人开始了情缘，埃蒙斯说，他收获了比金牌还要珍贵的爱情。四年后，卡特琳娜仍然在解说席上，又一次目睹了他的离奇失利，这一次，他又能收获什么来弥补遗憾？或许是小射击神童。早在北京奥运会之前，这对伉俪就说在2009年准备生个小埃蒙斯……
埃蒙斯的比赛始终有不可预知的结尾，而这些结尾无不是在创造历史。夺得奥运金牌也许不算奇迹，创造奥运历史方是传奇。埃蒙斯用两次另类的神奇失败印证着悲情英雄的存在，我们应该感受到埃蒙斯的不懈努力与奥林匹克运动的特殊魅力——一切皆有可能。
埃蒙斯的比赛始终是本教科书，而这本教科书是中国射手寻找成功经验的源泉。如果没有一颗勇敢的心，那么注定你只能成为一名最出色的而非最伟大的运动员，贾占波、邱健的名字之所以得以镌刻在奥运金牌榜上，也证明了如果没有一颗奋进的心，那么你连入门最伟大运动员的机会都没有。
埃蒙斯的比赛始终淡然，而淡然中充满着对这项运动以及对手的尊重。和不满判罚拒领奖牌的瑞典摔跤运动员以及比赛输急了眼怒砸场馆设施的意大利击剑运动员相比，埃蒙斯留给我们的印象是谦谦君子，输了就输了，没有宣泄，没有抱怨，至多是和妻子相拥以获得些许慰藉。一个淡然面对胜负的人，相信他是有勇气卷土重来的。
感谢埃蒙斯带给我们的一切，并不因为他的赠予。（王晓东）

从第一落到第八，失望到了极点的埃蒙斯
新浪体育讯 雅典8月22日消息，在刚刚结束的雅典奥运会男子50米步枪3×40决赛中，中国选手贾占波以1264.5环的总成绩戏剧性的夺得金牌。不过这场比赛最大的焦点不是冠军的归属，而是美国选手马修-埃蒙斯的罕见失误。他的最后一枪居然打到了旁边奥地利选手克里斯蒂安-普拉那的标靶上。
当时在决赛第九轮结束之后，埃蒙斯在总成绩上的领先优势达到了3环，他只需打出8环以上的成绩就可将金牌顺利收入囊中。然而当他扣动扳机之后，却发现标靶上的成绩迟迟没有出来。疑惑不解的埃蒙斯检查了他的步枪，并示意裁判。最终经过仔细检查，裁判发现埃蒙斯这一枪居然打到了旁边第三道奥地利选手普拉那的标靶上。
最终普拉那最后一枪的成绩为超常发挥的10.6环，当然，这一成绩很有可能是埃蒙斯赠送的。普拉那凭借最后一枪在总成绩上攀升至第三位，获得一枚宝贵的铜牌。美国选手迈克尔-安蒂获得该项目的银牌。而最后一枪被判0环的埃蒙斯则只能郁闷的位列第八垫底。
幸好埃蒙斯在周五的射击男子50米步枪卧射比赛中已经获得一枚金牌，至少他不会两手空空的结束雅典征程。不过他最后这莫名其妙的一枪毫无疑问已经在射击运动的历史上留下了一个令人难忘的故事。(EDMOND)

This story came from a friend of a friend of a friend etc. but it's so cute I had to pass it on.
Something really amazing happened in Downtown Spokane this week and I had to share the story with you. Some of you may know that my brother, Joel, is a loan officer at Sterling Bank. He works downtown in a second story office building, overlooking busy Riverside Avenue. Several weeks ago he watched a mother duck choose the cement awning outside his window as the uncanny place to build a nest above the sidewalk. The mallard laid ten eggs in a nest in the corner of the planter that is perched over 10 feet in the air. She dutifully kept the eggs warm for weeks and Monday afternoon all of her ten ducklings hatched.
Joel worried all night how the mamma duck was going to get those babies safely off their perch in a busy, downtown, urban environment to take to water, which typically happens in the first 48 hours of a duck hatching. Tuesday morning, Joel came to work and watched the mother duck encourage her babies to the edge of the perch with the intent to show them how to jump off!
The mother flew down below and started quacking to her babies above. In his disbelief Joel watched as the first fuzzy newborn toddled to the edge and astonishingly leapt into thin air, crashing onto the cement below. My brother couldn't watch how this might play out. He dashed out of his office and ran down the stairs the sidewalk where the first obedient duckling was stuporing near its mother from the near fatal fall.
Joel looked up. The second duckling was getting ready to jump! He quickly dodged under the awning while the mother duck quacked at him and the babies above. As the second one took the plunge, Joel jumped forward and caught it with his bare hands before it hit the cement. Safe and sound, he set it by the mamma and the other stunned sibling, still recovering from its painful leap.
One by one the babies continued to jump to join their anxious family below. Each time Joel hid under the awning just to reach out in the nick of time as the duckling made its free fall. The downtown sidewalk came to a standstill. Time after time, Joel was able to catch the remaining babies and set them by their approving mother.
At this point Joel realized the duck family had only made part of its dangerous journey. They had 2 full blocks to walk across traffic, crosswalks, curbs, and pedestrians to get to the closest open water, the Spokane River The onlooking office secretaries then joined in, and hurriedly brought an empty copy paper box to collect the babies. They carefully corralled them, with the mother's approval, and loaded them up into the white cardboard container. Joel held the box low enough for the mom to see her brood. He then slowly navigated through the downtown streets toward the Spokane River, as the mother waddled behind and kept her babies in sight.
As they reached the river, the mother took over and passed him, jumping into the river and quacking loudly. At the water's edge, the Sterling Bank office staff then tipped the box and helped shepherd the babies toward the water and to their mother after their adventurous ride.
All ten darling ducklings safely made it into the water and paddled up snugly to mamma duck. Joel said the mom swam in circles, looking back toward the beaming bank workers, and proudly quacking as if to say,
'See, we did it! Thanks for all the help!
Thankfully, one of the secretaries had a digital camera and was able to capture most of it (except the actual mid-air catching) in a series of attached photographs.
Please join me in celebrating my brother-- The Downtown Duck Hero!
