Oh, who cares about her english? As long as she says it clear and audible, I'll have nothing to say against it.
She's the most beautiful Chinese actress I've ever seen until now. IMO, she even beats Cecilia Cheung for beauty!
And Xiao Longnu in ROCH2k6 is the best played XLN ever! XLN was supposed to be naive and innocent, to the point where she looks childish. Liu Yifei really brought out that character. Two thumbs up
It was often said, "Among horses, Chi Tu (Red Hare). Among retards, Lu Bu."
Vice-President of Wuji Haters Club!
Originator of "Wuv Kuddly Hamsty" activity.
I don't think her english is very good. Her grammar was so awkward
" the story is based on like a foreigner point of view of china legend and martial arts.. STUFF..erm. I think it is special and interesting and fun and and attracive story"
"jackie and jet's, that iss their first time they are working together. It's erm.. historic moment in film."
"fighting was it temper ( i think she meant with)
"taught me..let you actions be more real"
Tang wei, who never lived in the US, had a smoother interview. She didn't have the greatest pronunciation, but she seemed more cohesive with less "erms, buts, like".. and pausing and her range of vocabulary was fancier.

Well Tang Wei has an university education....unlike SOMEONE (regardless of how much she wanted to pass off that she could've gotten into Stanford..)
In all honesty, her pronounciation isn't TOO bad. Her grammar on the other hand...uhh..
I'm surprised by Tang Wei's English, did she study the language before?
I think LYF's awkwardness in the interview is more a matter of personality/self composition than a language problem. On the whole, I would say that she always tends to come across as nervous, uneasy and unnatural in most of her interviews (be it in English or Mandarin). Maybe she's inexperienced or she's just an introvert by nature.
I'm actually pretty impressed by Susu's Mandarin
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Wise Fool
I feel that is a bit too nitpicking. First off, not a LYF fan, nor a hater. I'm just speaking my mind. I feel that people expects too much from this girl. Maybe she doesn't deserve her fame but there's no reason to be picky on that. Some people are merely more fortunate than others.
I don't think Tang Wei's grammar was perfect either. I also think that her interview was more formal than LYF's.
It's obvious that LYF was nervous in her interview. And her English was fine. It just sounded like someone having a casual conversation. We're not very sophisticated in casual conversations ourselves. Like you, Sugar, look at how many words you've spelled wrong in that one post. I'm not trying to offend you, I'm trying to highlight a similarity. Some things we say in everyday life will not make sense if we put it in a sentence, but is still completely understandable when spoken. And that's just how LYF's interview is; a casual interview.
I also agree with Sunnysnow. LYF seems like an introverted person who's easily anxious in a pressured setting.

I never boast about going to Bejing Academy or claimed that I can speak the language did I? She has people claiming she is completly fluent in Japanese too. I guess personality wise, I am anal when it comes to speaking a language. If she didn't boast about going to Yale, Stanford, and how she lived in the US for 2-5 years ( and I swear, people keep telling different years) or w.e, I probably would have been alright if she spoke english like that.

Just watched The Forbidden Kingdom yesterday and liked it very much. I am a fan of LYF since her condor heroes days. Good for her to have a lead in Hollywood movie like this one. I think her english is not bad but not fluent neither. She's kind of awkward or something as compared to LBB. LBB's english is much more better and clearer, IMO. Anyway, maybe this is her first major english movie, I think with more roles she should be improving and I can detect her American accent too

not pretty enough? aww...you're always pretty to me sweetheart :O) lol
Liza Wang-the only gorgeous woman to make any man (especially me!) swoon with one piecing look. (never underestimate the power of a woman)
I can tell you that every single female will think she's not pretty enough 100+ times in her life. It's psychological, not physical.

México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990 is one of the largest and most ambitious exhibitions in over a decade to examine contemporary art of central Mexico and Mexico City from the 1990s to the present day. Organized by curator Andrea Karnes, the exhibition is the first of its kind to be presented in North Texas.
The Modern maintains one of the foremost collections of modern and contemporary international art in the central United States. Various movements, themes, and styles are represented, On view now on the first floor, important examples of Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Pop art, and Minimalism as well as new acquistions by Sol LeWitt and Jenny Holzer.
Terry Haggerty draws on the vocabulary of abstract art to create his illusory paintings and large-scale wall works. The artist's central motif is created by painting patterned lines that alternate a light and dark color, such as white and blue. When juxtaposed, these colors play off of each other, appearing to advance and recede (as seen in Kinetic Friction, 2009).
Join us for a special preview screening of artist Artemio's first feature-length film. Artemio, one of the dynamic Mexican artists featured in Inside Out, works in a variety of media, including video, sculpture, and installation. His experimental multimedia artworks - such as Rambo, 2001, in which he edited out the physical and verbal violence from the original movie, resulting in a 17-minute video - approach pop culture and current political events with humor and subversion.
This program will focus on works in the special exhibition México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990, which presents some of the most important artists working in Mexico today and features a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, collage, and drawing. For Crossing the Border: A Closer Look, distinguished artists from North Texas visit and discuss work in the exhibition with the class, leading participants in specially designed studio projects using mixed and new media.

Dangerous morning wind chills
It's the kind of cold weather that literally bites you in the face, or any other part of your body that is not covered, for that matter. Dangerous wind chills this morning of -20° to -30° (below zero) across most of our viewing area threatened anyone or any pet that was outside with frostbite potential in 30 minutes on any exposed skin. This wind chill chart shows approximations of frostbite times with how cold the wind chill. Keep this chart handy when the weather turns arctic like this. A combination of bitterly frigid air plus a light easterly breeze created this extremely cold combination. How cold did the temperature and wind chill get this morning? Here is a list of many localized lowest temperatures and wind chills from across central New York for you to examine. They are numbing!
Lowest Temperature:
Syracuse: -13° Auburn: -7° Aurora: -9° Boonville: -22° Carthage: -22° Corning: -19° Fulton: -13° Geneva: -10° Georgetown: -17° Greene: -18° Hamilton: -17° Highmarket: -35° Ithaca: -15° Locke: -17° Lowville: -29° Massena: -29° McGraw: -14° Morrisville: -15° Norwich: -16° Old Forge: -30° Oneonta: -16° Palermo: -16° Penn Yan: -14° Rome: -21° Saranac Lake: -36° Sherburne: -13° Watertown: -30° Whitney Point: -14°
Lowest Wind Chill:
Syracuse: -27° Fulton: -24° Ithaca: -27° Massena: -40° Penn Yan: -15° Rome: -26° Saranac Lake: -36° Watertown: -30°
Massena came in with the worst wind chill this morning at -40° (that's below zero). When the wind chill gets that low, one can get frostbite in as little as 10 minutes! While the temperatures and wind chills get a bit better this afternoon, you will still feel freezing outside.
Watertown tied a record low this morning with -30° (below zero). Syracuse was only 1° away from its record of -14° set back in 1907.
Regardless, of the exact temperature and wind chill today, it is a day to take precaution and limit your outdoor exposure. Make sure to keep your pets inside through this afternoon. Temperatures tonight should actually rise through the teens and into the 20°s. A southerly wind, however, will keep wind chills near zero tonight. Temperatures will rebound tomorrow back into the 30-35° range, which is actually normal for this time of year. So, this shivery shellacking will be ending by Tuesday.

Most InternationalIn 2005, Colby became one of the first 10 colleges or universities in the U.S. to win a Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization. The award recognized Colby's commitment to international content in the curriculum, a 70-percent participation rate in study abroad, and a student body that represents more than 65 countries. Error in element (see logs)
The World at ColbyGlobal concerns permeate Colby's curriculum. All students must fulfill international diversity and foreign language requirements. Half of Colby's 55 majors have an international component. Colby has a strong, interdisciplinary Global Studies Program, and more than a hundred courses from a dozen different departments or programs fulfill requirements for the global studies major. Other academic departments and programs include Latin American Studies, East Asian Studies, including Japanese and Chinese, French and Italian, German and Russian, and Spanish. Colby's international diversity brings the richness of many different perspectives to discussions in classrooms, residence halls, and dining tables. Students represent more than 60 countries, and international students make up more than 11 percent of the student body. Their participation in conversations provides perspectives that are essential to understanding the world and America's place in it. A weekly International Coffee Hour finds American and international students socializing before dinner, conversing, sharing music, and playing games. Each spring the International Club puts on the International Extravaganza, a one-night showcase for arts, performances, and fashions from other countries. Davis UWC Scholarships +United World College (UWC) is a network of 13 secondary schools on five continents dedicated to educating students from all over the world. In 2000 the Shelby Davis family started a scholarship program for any students completing the UWC program who are accepted and who enroll at Colby. Since then, hundreds of UWC graduates from countries all over the world have attended Colby as Davis UWC scholars. Oak Programs at Colby +Colby's global reach is enhanced, and its campus community enriched by international scholarships, programs to promote interaction among American and international students, and an institute for the study of international human rights at Colby—all supported by the Oak Foundation. Colby recruits Oak Scholars from Zimbabwe and Denmark and from anywhere in the world if an applicant's family has suffered political oppression. In 1998 the foundation created the Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights, which brings a front-line human-rights practitioner to campus for one semester each year. Oak Fellows have included activists from Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Colombia, Kosovo, Sudan, Palestine, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, the Philippines, Bangladesh, India and Israel. All of the Oak Fellows risked their lives exposing and fighting human-rights abuses, including child labor, ethnically motivated murder, and violence against women and against indigenous populations. Global Studies +Understanding the changing face of the European community, instability in Latin American countries, dramatic changes in China and Russia, and many other international developments demands an appreciation of anthropology, politics, history, and economics. Colby's interdisciplinary global studies major also incorporates courses on the environment, international institutions, trade, and finance. Global studies majors must concentrate in international policy or in one of five areas of the world if they do not have a second major in an area studies program. Majors pursue careers in public policy, government, economics, public service, diplomacy, and international business as well as academic careers with an international focus. Colby in the World +Each year the Institute of International Education publishes a list of the colleges that send the most students abroad, and every year Colby shows up near the top of the list. More than two thirds of Colby's students spend time studying overseas before they graduate, and with the Jan Plan students have multiple opportunities to extend their Colby experience around the globe. Language acquisition programs in France and Spain, internships in London's financial district, teaching opportunities in Russian and Japanese schools, or social science research in Latin America—they are all ways that foreign study helps prepare Colby students for the global world of today. With a long history of internationalism, Colby has connections that can help open doors all over the world. Academic Activity Academic internationalism on campus and around the world

AMD's Duron Processor
I have seen the future of desktop Linux systems, and its name is Duron. A lot of economy-minded Linux hobbyists became AMD K6 fans back when Intel's offerings were either pricey Pentium II or wimpy early Celeron. AMD is still cranking out perfectly respectable K6-2s and -3s that will do very nicely for most of today's applications. But, software gets bigger about as fast as users get less patient, so the Duron looks ready to step into K6's role as the CPU of choice for people who need responsiveness more than extreme processor power. That is, most users. A CPU that's too fast is a waste of money, so you're better off sticking with the economy CPU and spending your money on the other components.
A 600MHz Duron costs somewhere around $60-$70 (US) right now, and this is cheaper than the Intel Celeron. And clock-for-clock, Duron beats Celeron. So if you need an "Intel Inside" sticker for some reason, buy that separately instead of paying the extra 20 bucks to get the CPU that comes with it. Basically, a Duron is an AMD Athlon with a couple of minuses and one plus. It has less cache than the higher-priced Athlon and is not available at the fastest clock speeds. But, Duron comes in the "Socket A" form factor, which just seems sturdier than slot CPUs and is lower to the board, allowing for smaller cases.
All this would be very nice for hackers, but not terribly relevant for the business desktop market, if all we had was last year's desktop applications. But now, Sun's decision to release StarOffice under the GNU GPL is a big opportunity for IT departments looking to save money at the cost of subjecting Microsoft-Office desktop users to a little pain and suffering in terms of compatibility and training.
Most corporations are probably going to play it "safe" for now, and throw money at licensing and Windows support staff to preserve the Microsoft Office status quo. If your company has an Excel or Access power user among the executives, that's all you can do, short-term. Just as companies moved out of vibrant cities into brain-dead suburbs in the 1970s to be close to where the boss lives, your employer will probably keep Microsoft Office because that's what the executives know. But, if your big cheeses don't have any computer skills, they're going to complain equally about whatever desktop applications you give them. You might as well go with the no-license-fee, easy-to-support GPL alternative, so they don't complain about the IT budget too. Be realistic.
StarOffice and Duron are the enabling technology for a big boom in Linux desktop systems. But Linux vendors are all building servers, servers, servers, right? Wrong. ASL, Inc. is a Linux vendor that has been quietly plugging away since 1995. Even though most of the other Linux vendors have been racking up server sales almost exclusively, ASL's President and CEO, Jeff Nguyen, says that their business has been about 50/50 servers and workstations. The company recently chose the desktop-friendly Mandrake distribution as its default install. They're now rolling out a line of Duron-based desktop systems.
ASL's Duron box came with a slick, professional out-of-box experience. The packing slip, complete with a full list of components, is a good thing to have on file in case you ever need to reinstall software. The mouse, keyboard, power cord and manuals were packed nicely on top of a convenient lift-off cardboard insert, and the machine itself came out and practically set itself up.
I can never resist taking a peek inside the case when the system arrives, so one thumbscrew and two Philips later, I was looking at the ASL system's guts. The case opens up all the way around—pop the thumbscrew and the top slides off, then the sides slide up. Quality components throughout—IBM hard drive, Matrox video card, Ensoniq sound and the same Intel Ethernet card everybody uses. Motherboard chipset by VIA, a company that built a good reputation for solid K6 chipsets. If you're like most Linux users, you never put all the screws back in, so rest assured that this case stays together with just the thumbscrew.
But is it fast? Realizing the essential bogusness of benchmarks as applied to regular desktop use, I ran the GIMP, xaos, and other CPU-hog programs on the Duron, alongside the same programs on a much more expensive Athlon system clocked at 800MHz. And you know what? The speed is indistinguishable. If you want to crack RSA keys or do heavy rendering, you should probably look at times posted by people who use your software of choice; for regular use, just get the Duron. The pre-GPL StarOffice 5.1, in particular, was nice and responsive, and I would be happy to find this machine in my cubicle upon starting a new job.
Although it has one little Duron CPU and one IDE hard drive, the fans installed on the prototype look adequate for a much hotter system. It's a big case, about the same size as the one VA Linux Systems used for dual Xeon workstations. And the fans, front and back, are loud. Like web server loud. All this to cool one IDE drive and one little socketed CPU?
Not for long, Nguyen says. ASL's future Duron machines will use a Micro ATX version of the same motherboard, so ASL will be able to make almost identical Duron-based systems in new, smaller cases with ElanVital's "Whisper Technology". ElanVital claims that they can reduce overall noise from 37 decibels to about 30 decibels with the Whisper system, which consists of a CPU heatsink and fan, a flexible tube for bringing outside air to the CPU fan, and a power supply with a thermostatically controlled fan. Good to see somebody's thinking about the human factors. Any Linux box people have to work next to should be quiet. I said, any Linux box people have to work next to should be quiet.
The noisy fans are going away, but I ran into a couple of problems with ASL's preinstalled software. First, the kernel wasn't configured to support DHCP, which is surprising for a desktop system. However, you can expect DHCP out of the box if you order an ASL system now; John Kim, a Linux system engineer at ASL, says they'll be making DHCP work out of the box now that I've brought it to their attention. An easy fix for them to do, since anybody can customize Linux.
Second, I ran into a problem with mangled fonts in StarOffice when running the Accelerated-X from Xi Graphics that ASL installs by default. I reloaded the box with the stock Mandrake disks supplied, and the problem didn't show up under XFree86. Kim says that ASL is going to try to replicate the problem and check into it with Xi Graphics, but no word back from them yet.
Fortunately, this is not really a problem. You can order the system without the proprietary X server, and if you're going out on a limb to put free software on the business desktop, why leave yourself with one piece of proprietary software to track? The Accelerated-X install requires you to enter a serial number from the package, which is just not worth the hassle. XFree86 works, works well and installs automatically if you set things up right. Even if you're not going to hack or customize it at all, proprietary software bought and paid for is still inferior to the free stuff because of the administration burden of keeping track of licenses.
Despite the glitches, I can recommend this machine for almost everyone, and especially for people who have to keep track of an office full of them. Duron is a good CPU, all the other components are top-quality, and ASL has experience in the Linux desktop business. Order one of ASL's Duron boxes with your company's choice of free software—they'll do custom loads for you—but be sure to ask them to hold the proprietary X server. Otherwise, what's the point?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

ROCKINGHAM - A new museum is designed to let kids develop cognitive, motor, language, social and critical thinking skills while they're playing.
Discovery Place Kids-Rockingham will open Saturday, and museum officials hope to attract visitors from the Cape Fear region. A grand opening will begin Saturday at 9 a.m.
The 20,000-square-foot museum is at 233 E. Washington St. in Rockingham, about an hour and a half from Fayetteville.
"If they're within a couple of hours, they should come visit," said Logan Stewart, a museum spokeswoman.
Discovery Place Kids, which also has a location in Huntersville, was started by Discovery Place Inc. The nonprofit organization is the parent company of Discovery Place in uptown Charlotte and the Charlotte Nature Museum.
Colorful and interactive exhibits at Discover Place Kids are intended to encourage experimentation, role-playing, innovation and physical activity, officials said in a news release. Other programs include story time, puppet shows and lab experiments.
"Play is a way for children to discover more about themselves, like how to cooperate, solve problems and make their own decisions," said Katie Rohleder, director of Discovery Place Kids-Rockingham, in a news release. "Play is extremely important work, and it helps enable our little ones to develop skills to be successful later in life."
The museum, which is built around the concept of "I can," is meant to encourage children to gain confidence, build muscles, expand their worldview and begin lifelong learning.
The museum is in the former McKenzie Furniture building in downtown Rockingham. The city bought the building for the Discovery Place project. The project was funded through grants and donations from corporations, foundations, professionals and individuals.
What: Grand opening of children's museum
When: The ceremony is 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23. Museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Closed Monday.
Where: 233 E. Washington St., Rockingham
Admission : $8. Free for 1 and younger. All children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the visit. Discounts are available for groups of 15 or more. On opening weekend, admission is half price.
Information: Call 910-997-5266, ext. 300; go to rockingham.discoveryplacekids.org; or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi Joobes! Your food sounds delicious!
I've been making 'The French Laundry' recipe for gluten-free pasta this past week. We've had homemade mushroom ravioli, spinach ravioli and fresh linguine with onion, zucchini, garlic, chopped grape tomatoes, white wine and a little sausage. I put spinach/cheese cannelloni in the freezer.
Last night was stuffed yellow bell peppers with meat, rice and vegetables and lots of tomato sauce. I cooked a few fresh linguine noodles and some peas to mix with the sauce. Salad of baby oak leaved lettuces and chicory, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

NETL Conference Showcases Mercury Control Research Accomplishments | |
PITTSBURGH, PA — Proceedings from the 2006 Mercury Control Technology Conference highlighting the advances and successes of mercury-control technologies are now available online. The technologies discussed at the conference, which was hosted by the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), are aimed at helping coal-fired power plants meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2005 Clean Air Mercury Rule. The conference proceedings contain the latest information about technology development that could save U.S. rate payers millions of dollars per year. Coal is the United States' most abundant energy source and a key player in America's energy security. Coal-burning power plants are also the largest source of manmade mercury air emissions in the United States, accounting for more than 40 percent of emissions. The Clean Air Mercury Rule will permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. One of the challenges of finding mercury-control solutions is developing technologies that can consistently and cost-effectively capture mercury from all of the coal-fired power plants in operation. Many factors influence mercury emissions from power plants, including the type of coal being burned, existing air pollution control devices, and the chemical form of mercury released—elemental or oxidized. Currently no single technology can cost-effectively provide add-on mercury control for all power plant configurations or fuel types. Without better technologies, significant costs could be added to the generation of the nation's electric power to comply with environmental regulations. The December conference highlighted key accomplishments and furthered communication that should lead to the adoption of new, innovative technologies. This will help coal-burning power plants comply with new regulations, and it ultimately strengthens U.S. energy security by promoting the clean use coal. At the conference, more than 300 attendees from universities, industry, other research organizations, and the public at large learned about mercury research projects funded by the Energy Department, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Electric Power Research Institute, electric utilities, and other project partners. Presentations were given on groundbreaking technical accomplishments and additional research needs in four areas:
Implementation of the Clean Air Mercury Rule is intended to reduce overall U.S. power plant emissions of mercury 70 percent by 2018, but a number of states are implementing more stringent mercury regulations. NETL's goals are to have mercury-control technology ready for commercial demonstration of 70 percent removal by 2007 and 90 percent removal by 2010. |

Fashion publicist/reality star Kelly Cutrone said his "words against the women in my country" were "disgusting," and referred to him as a "poseur faker freak."
@eclecticbrotha defended him saying, "Oh look, we're supposed to hate Psy because he once joined protests against American imperialism."
As for PSY's handling of the criticism, Matt J. Duffy, a journalism teacher from Atlanta, tweeted, "His statement is lesson in good crisis PR."
It's unclear what the fallout of the revelation of these anti-American lyrics will be.
