nook is toast
In this case, the unlucky nook is not from a mighty cosmic power like Google or Microsoft where you might say "well, they can overcome anything" (though they can't), so the verdict is especially clear in this gadget guy's book: nook is toast.
be toast informal
to be in trouble because of something you have done
I betcha they weren't planning that till Amazon goosed the price on Kindle last week down to $259.
It makes the Sony Reader and iRex look absurdly overpriced and the Plastic Logic Que look like a shot in the dark.
If you describe something someone says or does as a shot in the dark or a stab in the dark, you mean they are guessing that what they say is correct or that what they do will be successful.
Every single one of those inspired guesses had been shots in the dark.
it's still take a few bottles of Jack to get us to rock these with a smile
it seems as if the 18-inch dv8 is your only option now when selecting a larger-than-life lappie from the folks at HP. Gotta keep keepin' on, we guess.

Burger King selling a Windows 7 Whopper in Japan
Confirming our belief that Japan is at once among the coolest and craziest places on this planet we all call home is Burger King's exclusive Windows 7 Whopper. Seven stacked beef patties extend your usual Whopper to over five inches in height and the whole thing costs an appropriate ¥777 (or $8.55). It'll be available for one week only -- or seven days, get it? Join us past the break to see the full towering size of this meaty monstrosity.
Update: Andy Yang, our Engadget Chinese editor, has read the smallprint and noted that in fact only the first 30 customers each day will get the Win 7 Whopper at ¥777, with the rest shelling out a cool ¥1,450 ($17.10) for the privilege. Way to break with the number 7 theme, guys.

the very first Microsoft Store inParis
there's some WiFi available for those looking for a place to loiter around.
Japan may be home to the Windows 7 Whopper, and the US has the less edible contents of the very first Microsoft Store, but it looks like Paris may be the real place to be for out and about Windows fans, as it can now claim the only Windows Cafe in the world as its own alongside all those other little tourist attractions you might be interested in. Better still, it looks like the cafe serves up at least as many types of drinks as Windows editions, and there's some WiFi available for those looking for a place to loiter around. Hit up the link below for a peek inside courtesy of Le Journal du Geek.
So when they close at night, do the room lights and/or front windows turn blue??
No, but if too many people place their orders at once, service slows to a crawl.
The WiFi won't accept iPhone connections though, move along.

Ground rule double
In baseball, a ground rule double is any award of two bases from the time of pitch to all baserunners including the batter-runner. Such an award is traditionally called a "ground rule" double even though the award is usually not a result of ground rules. Most commonly, a batted ball bouncing fair on the field and then leaving play (such as over a fence) is called a ground rule double. However, any fair ball that leaves the playing field in a situation where regulations prohibit calling the hit a home run is also a ground rule double.
Minnesota was hurt by a blown call by left-field umpire Phil Cuzzi in the top of the 11th. Joe Mauer started the inning with a drive down the line that appeared to go off Melky Cabrera 's glove before clearly landing about a foot inside the line and bouncing into the stands.
Cuzzi said it was foul - it's been a tough week for umpires, with several missed calls - and Mauer ended up with a single when he should have had a ground-rule double.
''You can't see at all from the dugout, but I think we all know the ball was fair by a long ways,'' Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.

Many fans called to proclaim their unbending allegiance and discuss the plethora of "Can you believe it?" moments still fresh in the minds of millions following the Yankees' 4-3 win in 11 innings.
"I'm just finally glad he got the monkey off his back," said longtime Yankees fan Tim May after watching Rodriguez go 2-for-4 with a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning. "Because once it's off, it's off for good. And personally, he's been tortured [in the media] and living in Jeter's shadow. I'm really happy for him."

所以，如果要顯示照片、圖片，就要自己定義二個新名稱。

AA=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH( 照片座位表 !$A$1,A,0),3,1,," 照片座位表 "))

trash talking
LL: So, Li Hua, yesterday at the office I heard two of my co-workers trash talking my boss.
Alou called the defeat surprising, but he also said that he “did not want to press the panic button.
In a dubious decision, Willy Taveras was caught trying to steal third with Ramírez batting and one out in the ninth. Kenley Jansen, a catcher with a laser for an arm, nailed him.

Making waves means to cause a disturbance.

from the get-go
"That's kind of what I expected from the get-go," Dunn said. "With that lineup, I don't see why we shouldn't havea few of those [big] innings a night. It was a lot of fun, but I don't think it was very unexpected on our side."
這其實就是我一開始所預期的。有這種陣容，我看不出來為什麼我們不能有像這樣的大局(指的是一局中得很多分)，這真的很好玩，但我覺得一點都不意外。

用excel作抽籤的小程式
今天在上課時，需要抽號碼。
可是，每個人的號碼我都知道，所以就等於我故意找某人出來回答問題。
所以，我用ＥＸＣＥＬ寫了一個抽號碼的程式。
方法為，任意取一很大的數
用ＭＯＤ取餘數。
如果餘數超過男生的人數則減去男生的人數再加上３０，還有如果整除，則號碼為最後一號。
利用的函數：ＶＬＯＯＫＵＰ（要查詢的值或字串，資料的所在位置，第一欄或第二欄，真或假）
利用ＶＬＯＯＫＵＰ可由號碼得到名字。
