The second said: "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."
The third smiled and said: "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote one son: "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Gerald," she wrote to another: "I am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son: "You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious." <img alt="" src="http://www.italki.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" />
" Did you come here to die mannnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Let's play a game which is called "<em>Tell Me The Truth</em>"
Game Rule:
This is a kind of <em> fan-tan</em> game. Everyone will answer the question asked by the upstairs（previous commenter）and then address another question to the downstairs （succeeding commenter）.
Eg：
1st commenter： what's your favorite colour?
2nd commenter: Blue.
Question for next: Have you ever made a fun of someone?
3rd commenter:................................etc.
So, My question for below is : What is the brand of your handset ?
诺鲁孜节距今至少已有3千年的历史，内容与汉民族的春节相似。该节日形成初期，包括维吾尔族在内的突厥部落的先辈过着游牧生活，他们在晚冬初春把昼夜时差持平之日称之为“日生”、“年头”，并把此日开头的月称之为“羊羔月”。此时正值冰雪消融、草木返青、大地复苏、牲畜产仔的时节，这时牧民们—面兴高采烈欢度节日，一面清点安全越冬的牲畜，准备开始草原放牧。随着以牧转农、定居、城郭进程的发展，该节日增添了更丰富的内容。大约在公元前1000年左右，史料上以“九回鹘”记载的西回鹘用塔吉克语称此节为“诺鲁孜节”。随着时间的推移，该节在保留原始面貌的基础上，增添了浓郁的“艺术节”色彩。总之，诺鲁孜节在增进西域和中原间的礼尚往来、加强文化交流，尤其在形成古丝绸之路方面起到了非常重要的作用。
如今，每年的3月20日至22日，全世界有30多个民族与维吾尔族人同一时间庆祝诺鲁孜节。维吾尔族相传至今的节日形式主要包括：
(1)每年昼夜时差相等时分即3月20日——22日夜晚零点击打诺鲁孜节鼓，普告天下节日来临；
(2)听到鼓声的人们自发地汇集到击鼓地点唱歌跳舞，直至天明，这是诺鲁孜节麦西莱甫开幕的标志，第二天从日落开始至次日太阳冉冉升空为止。这是琴师、歌手、舞手显示才能的最好舞台；
(3)次日，人们洗浴净身，换下冬装，吃诺鲁孜节饭，邻里间相互赠送诺鲁孜节饭以示祝贺新年。原先有恩怨纠纷的人们相互间拜年谅解和好，甚至离异夫妻间协商破镜重圆；
(4)早餐后，邻里中的男人汇聚到德高望重者家中，就帮助居住区内贫困残疾者进行讨论，自愿捐助贫困者；
(5)家家户户全部动员，对家里户外进行一次彻底的大扫除，拆洗衣物被褥；
(6)为鸟雀筑巢，为它们繁殖打基础；
(7)上坟，在亲人坟头上施洒谷物；
(8)有钱的出钱，有力的出力，维修或重建桥梁，清理池塘，做好引进春水的准备，并全面动员，植树造林，美化环境；
(9)该节也称之为踏青节，家家户户连续诺鲁孜节是维吾尔族历史发展进程中产生出来的系统的迎新年节日，是为进入春耕生产，绿化、美化、净化环境做准备的节日，是艺术的节日、体育的节日。
同胞们，诺鲁孜节快乐~~<img alt="" src="http://www.italki.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" />
Medicine
The Uyghurs had an extensive knowledge of medicine and medical practice. Chinese <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Dynasty" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Song Dynasty</a> (906–960) sources indicate that an Uyghur physician named Nanto traveled to China and brought with him many kinds of medicine unknown to the Chinese. There were 103 herbs used in Uyghur medicine recorded in a medical compendium by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Shizhen" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Li Shizhen</a> (1518–1593), a <a title="Traditional Chinese medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Chinese medical</a> authority. <a class="mw-redirect" title="Tatar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatar" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Tatar</a> scholar, professor Reşit Rahmeti Arat in Zur Heilkunde der Uighuren (Medical Practices of the Uyghurs) published in 1930 and 1932, in Berlin, discussed Uyghur medicine. Relying on a sketch of a man with an explanation of acupuncture, he and some Western scholars suspect that acupuncture was not a Chinese, but an Uyghur discovery.
Today, traditional Uyghur medicine can still be found at street stands. Similar to other traditional medicine, diagnosis is usually made through checking the pulse, symptoms, and disease history, and then the pharmacist pounds up different dried herbs, making personalized medicines according to the prescription. Modern Uyghur medical hospitals adopted Western medical science and medicine and adopted Western pharmaceutical technology to discover new and produce traditional medicines.

There are 77 <a title="Rock cut architecture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_cut_architecture" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">rock-cut</a> caves at the site. Most have rectangular spaces with rounded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">arch</a> <a title="Ceiling" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">ceilings</a>often divided into four sections, each with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mural" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">mural</a> of <a title="Gautama Buddha" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Buddha</a>. The effect is of an entire ceiling covered with hundreds of Buddha murals. Some ceilings are painted with a large Buddha surrounded by other figures, including Indians, Persians and Europeans. The quality of the murals vary with some being artistically naive while others are masterpieces of religious art.Music
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqam" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Muqam</a> is the classical musical style. The 12 Muqams are the national oral epic of the Uyghurs. The muqam system developed among the Uyghur in northwest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">China</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asia" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Central Asia</a> over approximately the last 1500 years from the Arabic <a title="Maqama" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maqama" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">maqamat</a> modal system that has led to many musical genres among peoples of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Eurasia</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">North Africa</a>. Uyghurs have local muqam systems named after the oasis towns of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Xinjiang</a> (<a class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Turkestan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Turkestan" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Eastern Turkestan</a>), such as <a title="Dolan people" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolan_people" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Dolan</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ili" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Ili</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" title="Kumul (city)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumul_(city)" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Kumul</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpan" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Turpan</a>. The most fully developed at this point is the Western <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Tarim</a> region's 12 muqams, which are now a large canon of music and songs recorded from the traditional performers <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turdi_Akhun" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Turdi Akhun</a>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Akhun" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Omar Akhun</a> among others in the 1950s and edited into a more systematic system. Although the folk performers probably improvised their songs as in Turkish <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taksim" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">taksim</a>performances, the present institutional canon is performed as fixed compositions by ensembles.
Each of the 12 muqams (named Rak, Čäbbiyat, Segah, Čahargah, Pänjigah, Özhal, Äjäm, Uššaq, Bayat, Nava, Mušavräk, and Iraq), consists of a main section that begins with a long free rhythm introduction, followed by pieces with characteristic rhythmic patterns that gradually increase in speed. These pieces are arranged in the same sequence in each muqam, although not all muqams have the same pieces. These parts are known as täzä, nuskha, small säliqä, jula, sänäm, large säliqä, päshru, and täkit. Some have an associated instrumental piece known as a märghul ("decoration") following it. Although each named piece has its characteristic rhythmic pattern, the melodies differ, so each piece is generally known by the muqam and the piece: for example, "the Rak nuskha" or "the Segah jula".
After the main section, there are two sections, originally associated with other musical traditions, but included in muqams by performers such as Turdi Akhun and therefore included in the present 12 muqam tradition. The Dastan section includes songs from several of the romantic<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dastan" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">dastan</a> narratives found widely in Central and South Asia and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Middle East</a>. Each dastan song is followed by an instrumental märghul. TheMäshräp section consists of more lively dance songs that were originally connected with the performances of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sama" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">sama</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervish" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">dervish</a> musicians of Turkistan.
The Uyghur Muqam of Xinjiang has been designated by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amannisa_Khan" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">Amannisa Khan</a>, sometimes called Amanni Shahan, (1526–1560) is credited with collecting and thereby preserving the Twelve Muqam.
Russian scholar Pantusov writes that the Uyghurs manufactured their own musical instruments; they had 62 different kinds of musical instruments and in every Uyghur home there used to be an instrument called a "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutar" style="background-image: none; color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: none; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial">dutar</a>".

Explorers from Europe, America, and Japan were amazed by the art treasures found there, and soon their reports caught the attention of an interested public around the world.

Chinese ambassador Wang Yande (939–1006), to the Karakhoja Uyghur Kingdom in AD 981–984: "I was impressed with the extensive civilization I have found in the Uyghur Kingdom.
