Though she's been acting since she was 7, Christina Ricci is convinced she's a late bloomer.
"I feel like it took me a really long time to get to where other people are when they're 22," she says in second-floor room of a hotel here.
"Which is funny, I always had to pull off this `smart, older thing' but I think that was just based on the fact that I was insecure and how young I was. And now that I feel older and more mature and able to handle things, I'm acting a lot more childlike," she laughs.
Ricci didn't have her permanent teeth yet and was appearing in a Christmas play when she was spotted by an agent who thought she'd be great in commercials. Always small for her age (she's 5-foot-1) and graced with a perfect heart-shaped face, she was the ideal little girl to hype sugared cereal and dress-up dolls.
But it wasn't long before she hit the movies and was transformed through them into the shy, contemplative woman she is today.
Early on her mother was careful to differentiate between personal and professional rejection. "Work was always a sanctuary for me," says Ricci, who's dressed in a yellow sleeveless sheath embossed with small seashells. "It was someplace I went where I was good at something and I was told every day that I was good at something, so it was incredible for my self-worth. I was with people who had real genuine affection for me and you have, like, a little family. I really liked the structure of it. I think I'm just one of those people who's particularly suited for this kind of thing."
Like most young women, adolescence was difficult for her, though she kept working non-stop. "I have to say there were certainly a lot of growing pains that went along with it. I was very self-conscious when I was a teenager and it was just at the age - when I was 15, 16, 17 - that I was doing more adult movies that dealt with sex and sexual issues and I'd be doing an interview and somebody would be asking me about sex or my body or about being held up as a sex symbol.
"And I was just, like. `Oh, God, I just want to go into a hole.' It was very difficult for me because it was very embarrassing for me and the way I dealt with that was by being very glib and shocking, a little jaded and world weary and cynical. I think that really was me trying to protect myself because I felt so uncomfortable."
Movies like "The Ice Storm," "Sleepy Hollow," "The Opposite of Sex," "Monster" and her latest, "Penelope" (opening Friday), prove she's can vanquish the most onerous role. In "Penelope," she plays a woman determined not to let a facial deformity direct her life. That kind of resolve resides in Ricci herself.
"I'm really ready now to have an adult life and to be successful," she says, softly. "I think I was somewhat afraid of being successful before and one of the things that's in this movie is that the only thing that's standing in your way is yourself. I really had that for a long time where I was very insecure and very fearful, which is something we address in `Penelope.'
"I think I'm finally in a place where I don't feel like that, and my dream is to just have a career that I can look back on and think, `Wow, I did some amazing movies. And got to work with amazing people and meet the great minds of my time and just have the most incredible experiences that make a life.'"
Her name has been linked with actors Adam Goldberg, Orlando Bloom and others, and Ricci says she has no rules about dating actors. "Why wipe out an entire eligible category?" she says.
"When I've gone out with actors I've actually found it really great because they understand your schedule and there's an understanding of what you have to go through and do and they're not going to freak out because you had to do a sex scene with somebody, if they are also an actor. It's nice to be with somebody who understands and you don't have to explain why your schedule is the way it is."
She says she would like to be a mother someday. "My favorite thing to do is daydream. I love it," she confesses. "In any situation I can just leave and be designing my new living room or something. And acting to me is a way of immersing myself in the dream, but also a really safe place to express emotion and to try to communicate something; to communicate a universal, human pain."
Some things are still hard for the 28-year-old. Diving in L.A. traffic can be a chore, she says. "If I get nervous about my car and about driving I think, `I'm Elizabeth Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor would not CARE about how she was driving. So let's just go, I have places to be.' I pretend I'm Elizabeth Taylor and it totally gets me through whatever car anxiety I'm having. It's really amazing."

My question is if only Concorde is able of going Mach1?
Would, lets say, a 747 or 737 be able to do it if it had the engines for it, or would the structure of the A/C brake up?
If it would brake up, what is the difference between Concordes structure and other A/C's?
Thank you.

Movie review: 'The Great Gatsby'
F. Scott Fitzgerald meets Cirque du Soleil in director Baz Luhrmann's extravagant, eye-popping 3-D adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," an artful mash-up that blends Shakespearean tragedy with Roaring '20s razzmatazz, crisp Brooks Brother style with Art Deco opulence, and the classic Jazz Age swing of Bryan Ferry with the urban beats of Jay-Z and Beyonce.
In an energetic, though often overwhelming and over-the-top effort to make Fitzgerald's enduring 1925 novel feel urgent and contemporary, the producers have given free rein to Luhrmann to work his unique brand of screen magic. And the consummate Australian showman, whose resume ranges from the stagey "Red Curtain" trilogy of films — "Strictly Ballroom," "Romeo + Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge" — to a plush, carnivalesque 2002 Broadway production of "La Boheme," pulls out every trick in his repertoire.
The director's penchant for operatic excess often seems at war with his obvious regard for the lyrical, keyed-up brilliance of Fitzgerald's language and his tragic love story. But behind all the visual filigrees and the pulsing rhythms of the movie, the core story of shady, self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio, looking like the starched and pressed Arrow Shirt man) and his obsessive love for flighty debutante Daisy Buchanan (wispy Carey Mulligan in blonde bobbed hairdo) comes through clearly and faithfully.
It's all told through the eyes (and the voice-over narration incorporating Fitzgerald's magical prose) of bright-eyed Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire, whose face is an open book). Nick is a Fitzgerald-like Ivy Leaguer, an aspiring writer seeking his fortune in New York, circa 1922, in a postwar era of loosening flapper morals, flowing bootleg booze and intoxicating jazz music.
Nick settles into a vine-covered cottage in Long Island's nouveau riche West Egg, across the glittering bay from old-money East Egg, where his flighty cousin Daisy lives with her bullying, philandering, blue-blooded husband Tom Buchanan (blustery Joel Edgerton). Next door in the Xanadu-style mansion of Jay Gatsby, Nick is soon drawn by the glam-glittery nightly parties and their decadent displays of debauchery. And before long, Nick is summoned by Gatsby and enlisted as an ally in a carefully planned effort to lure in and woo Daisy.
As Nick finds himself pulled deeply into the world of the super rich and seduced by Gatsby's intoxicating vision of romance and life reinvented, the stage is set for a harrowing tragedy that reveals the dark, decadent underside of the American dream.
Luhrmann's "Gatsby" stands in stark contrast to the last effort to film the novel — director Jack Clayton's 1974 version, a prim and decorous period piece that had Robert Redford as Gatsby, Sam Waterston as Nick and Mia Farrow as Daisy. Employing occasionally effective but largely unnecessary 3-D effects and interspersing riffs of hip-hop and contemporary music into the period score, Luhrmann's version is anything but period prim. It's throbbing with energy and a jumpy, off-kilter vibe that aptly echoes the youthful impatience and yearning of the Jazz Age.
While literary purists might balk at Luhrmann's poetic liberties and his ringmaster style, his flamboyant film makes a strong case for the durability and timelessness of Fitzgerald's classic. Even tarted up in the most garish of cinema finery, "The Great Gatsby" retains its essential dignity through all the frenzy.

Hey, what are you doing Tuesday night? At 6:30? Want to come and have a beer with me and four of the most significant brewers in the Twin Cities? That is, Todd Haug, of Surly, Jason Schoneman, of Steel Toe, Damian McConn, of Summit, and Joe Pond, of what I think may be the country's only true farmstead brewery, Olvalde, in tiny Rolling Stone, Minnesota. We'll be sampling their beers, but also getting to the bottom of the big questions, such as:
• Is there a Minnesota style of beer? Should there be?
• Is single-farm barley the next big thing?
• What will Surly do with its fancy new brewery, once it's built?
• What is up with that beer in the squirrel carcass—from Scotland's BrewDog? Is taxidermied drinkware a thing?
• What is up with Rogue's forthcoming beer brewed from yeast cultivated from its brewer's beard? Is it the grossest thing ever, or just, like, common sense, man? If beard-beer, then pubic-beer?
• And so on!
Tickets are $10, that price gets you free appetizers from the great cooks at Chow Girls, samples of beer, conversation, and the chance to ask the big questions to some of the best brewers around. But that's not all! We're giving away a pair of tickets. Comment below, and name a Minnesota beer you love. We will pick a winner at random by 5 p.m. Monday, October 15. Good luck, and either way, I hope to see you there!

Not Aslan, Asalan. It is the final stage of green coffee, ready to export. Volkopi dries coffee right before bagging it to ship out. Another odd practice... but that is Sumatra for you.
The coffee is run through the gravity table and screener again in Medan, and then hand-picked a final time. But Medan is so hot and humid, it's a wonder the coffee doesn't absorb more moisture here, and can actually be dried at all in this climate. To do this, you need heat, and such temperatures applied to green coffee in the final stage, out of parchment... that's not good either. Medan, Sumatra
We spent time at the Volkopi mill in Medan which has produced some great coffee in the past. Machinery is a bit tired and is getting replaced this winter. Medan, Sumatra
In the early morning light, the nursery adjoining the Volkopi house. Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
Never seen this before either, a pulper drum made from a series of bent metal nails or wires. it's very primitive, but it seemed effective . Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
Coffee is dry-fermented overnight, then rinsed, and dried a few hours. Then it is considered ready to sell to the collector at market or directly. Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
We stopped to visit a woman who had picked that day and was pulping in the typical hand machine. Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
Gabah coffee at Pa Joner's mill . Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
Good parchment at Opung BR bought direct from farm, fermented and washed . This kind of Gabah coffee is being fermented overnight and then truly washed, agitated. Other Gabah with brown-red color was being left in cherry overnight, or longer!, then simply pulped, dried a bit and sold to the collector. But good and bad parchment often get mixed, which makes it all bad parchment, essentially. Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
The marvelous covered drying patios at the Volkopi mill in Lintong. Other collectors are now copying this design, since the sporadic rains can damage coffee layed out to dry on the patios that are uncovered. Sumatra harvest, unlike most other places, occurs in the wet season, which makes drying the coffee that much more difficult . Lake Toba area, North Sumatra
Next day, sorting coffee at Gajah Mountain facility in Takengon. This static sorting (not on a conveyor belt) is usually better, and it seems easier on the eyes for the workers. Aceh, Sumatra
This was very nice parchment, clean and well-washed.Coffee harvested the day before is pulped that night, fermented without water overnight, washed in the morning, and dried for just a few hours. At that point, Sumatra diverges from most coffee origins. In Guatemala the small farmer would continue to dry the coffee for many days, down to 11% moisture or so. In Sumatra, they take the coffee to market immediately to sell it, 50% moisture, or a local collector comes by and picks it up. Aceh, Sumatra
Zaini is the figurative leader of a small group of farmers in the Atu Lintang area, a private coop essentially. They are neighbors who market their coffee as one. There is nice altitude, 1500 meters. The varietals are mostly TimTim with some other Catimor types that are not ideal. No Typica spotter here. Aceh, Sumatra
Sumatra 5 : Jamaica 0
Coffee Kids & Hurricane Mitch
It's Sumatra Time!
Coffee is a crop. It may seem odd to think of coffee this way since it is also a dried seed from a small fruiting tree. And we don't think about the crop cycle of other dried seeds on our kitchen shelves. But there is a particular window of time when a new crop of coffee arrives at the Oakland port (a mere 5 minutes from our shop) and all the good coffee buyers are on the hunt for the best lot.
The "Other" East African Coffees
It's almost a crime: some of the most balanced, complex coffees in the world are overshadowed by the powerhouse of East Africa … Kenya. Great Kenya coffees are showstoppers … they stun the palate with volatile aromas and fruity acidity, the flavors complex, the aftertaste is long and intense.
It's true that coffee produced around the world arrives in the United States continuously, but there are certain moments in the crop cycle when the best coffees become available. This varies based on origin, but by coincidence many favorites arrive in the first few months of the new year.

I've just finished installing ZCS 6.0.4 on a CentOS5 EC2 instance. I had to try multiple times until I got the exact IP setup working, but now it looks to be working correctly - e-mails are going in and out, and I also tested calendar, documents and tasks and I don't seem to have any problems, but the server status screen shows red X marks for all the services on my single server.
Could there still be problems with the IP setup? The current IP setup I use is that the server resolves its own hostname (which is something like ec2.mydomain.com) to the EC2 internal IP address and I installed it with that domain (it complained a bit about not having an MX record but I ignored it). I've set the admin address to 'email@example.com' and it automatically created the domain 'mydomain.com' in the domains list, in addition to 'ec2.mydomain.com'.
I also looked at all the logs in /opt/zimbra/log, and there is a lot of info there so I might have missed something, but there were no obvious errors that I found.
As far as I can tell everything is working correctly except the red X marks in the server status screen. Is there some way I can tell what is the real problem?

restoreScrollState consuming 50% CPU Time on simple grid with grouped headers?
I have a fairly simple sorted Ext.grid.Panel that has a new row added to it every 5 seconds. After a minute or so Firefox (8.0.1) begins to slow down. Firebug's profiler shows that restoreScrollState is consuming ~50% CPU time. It is a low # of calls (once per row addition) however, each call takes ~250ms.
I am wondering:
1) Is this expected?
2) Is there anything I can do to improve this? I suppose I do not want the grid jumping around as data is added, but is there a more efficient way to add a new record to the grid's store (and subsequently display it in the grid)?
I am retrieving JSON from an Ext.data.Connection() (this becomes 'data' in the code example below) - this is run every 5 seconds retrieving a new JSON object in data each time.
... data = Ext.decode(response.responseText); ... sstStore.loadRawData(data, true); lewStore.loadData(sstStore.getRange(), true);
sstStore is a store with a data-specific model for a specific data source that normalizes the data from this source. There will eventually be more sources that do the source-specific mapping of data to normalized/common format.
lewStore is the store that the grid panel uses. It is the place that all normalized data sources feed into so that all of the data may be viewed together from the disparate data sources.

I observed the same phenomenon in 4.1-pr1. In my test case I just resized a grid with lots of cells. I mentioned it to Don, apparently it was already on the radar but it isn't trivial to improve it. Not sure what progress has been made since then.
I made the following override on one of my projects with a large grid. I'm sure there must be some nasty consequences doing this but so far all I've seen is a massive speed boost.
Ext.apply(Ext.view.Table.prototype, { restoreScrollState: Ext.emptyFn, saveScrollState: Ext.emptyFn });
It only really helps on large grids, for small grids the gain is negligible.ConsultJS: http://consultjs.com/

this should already be changed in the SDK build.
-> restoring the scroll state only if there if the grid was scrolled and hopefully saving the scroll state on scroll.
i had no time yet to take a close look on the new implementation, but this was the idea to change it.Best regards

Summer is just ending and Platform Computing is announcing today its second major product launch this year and since joining the IBM family. IBM has embraced Platform Computing as a key component of their newly launch Technical Computing agenda to bring HPC technologies to mainstream business companies. If you are building a cluster or grid, IBM would like you to evaluate Platform Computing as the management layer to enable a scalable, high performance application infrastructure. This is especially true as more applications become compute and data-intensive – everything from simulations, analytics, MapReduce, CAE, risk management, fraud, pricing, etc. There is also an enormous explosion in emerging growth economies for Platform Computing as well. I just returned from a two-week trip through Southeast Asia, Japan and China. These are exciting times!
Our mission continues unwavering - IBM Platform Computing is widely viewed as the cluster, grid, and HPC cloud management software of choice for technical and high performance computing (HPC) environments. We want to become a standard architecture for mainstream businesses to accelerate the time to results for high performance applications. It's all about the applications, workload management, and resource management. Platform Computing products are used both to simplify the deployment, management, and use of small departmental clusters as well as to optimize deployment of complex applications and workloads in many of the world's largest environments (100,000+ cores).
The latest product releases and additions to the IBM Platform Computing portfolio further extend this value with; new features making the products easier to use, enhanced management features, and significant advances in scalability and performance. Read our launch article for more details and I've captured a few highlights below:
There is a lot of new enhancements for existing customers as well as a continued expansion of the portfolio demonstrating a solid product roadmap and commitment to continue leadership in this market. For more information, please fill in our contact form and we'll get back to you very quickly.

Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2011
|There were still many snowfields to hike through, including one dangerous one near the top of this ridge (on the north facing side of course). The footsteps were deep, but it was quite scary. On the way down, we ended up walking on the boulders to get past that one snowfield. Otherwise, the view from the top is always spectacular! Oh and bring your bug spray and anti itch stick! The mosquitoes were relentless on the way up and back down.

|Climbed on arguably the final hiking (as opposed to snowshoeing) day of the 2010 season. Started at 11am and finished at 5:30pm. Mostly pleasant hike, although a cold front blew over between the start of the hike and about 3pm, causing chilly temps and windy conditions in exposed areas. As we began our descent, the sun came out and warmed things up, winds calmed down, and some spectacular cumulous clouds formed over the crystal range. A significant snowstorm arrived the following morning, which probably will result in permanent snow cover at higher elevations until Spring.

Dunedin Celtic Festival Moves Indoor
DUNEDIN, Fla. - DUNEDIN, Fla. - This year the Highland Games Committee is moving its Dunedin Celtic Festival inside the Dunedin Community Center. The ninth annual edition of the concert highlighting modern Celtic music will be presented Saturday, Nov. 17, 4 - 10 p.m. The committee's signature music festival and fundraiser has traditionally been held outdoors in Highlander Park. Vendors selling Irish and Scottish items lined the perimeter of the park's great lawn. Fans of Celtic music sat on the grass, enjoying musical acts and dancers performing on the band shell. Last year's Celtic Festival, however, was not as profitable as it should have been, according to Sandy Keith, the Highland games Committee spokesman.The Dunedin Highland Middle School Pipe Band, Dunedin High School Scottish Highlander Band and the City of Dunedin Pipe Band benefit from the concert's beneficiaries. While it could have been inclement weather or a higher admission fee, no one knows for sure why the 2006 Celtic Festival did not garner the support it has in past years, Keith said. Nevertheless, the committee is moving the 2007 festival indoors in attempt to produce a rebound in attendance. Vendors selling Celtic wares will be set up along the hallway with bands playing on the stage in the gymnasium of the renovated and remodeled Community Center. The New York-based Celtic group Seven Nations Band and Clearwater's Lucid Druid will perform, along with Celtic dancers and the City of Dunedin Pipe Band. Headliners Seven Nations has an international following, and has performed at several local Celtic Festivals. Lucid Druid, a five-member band has become a local favorite during their performances at the Dunedin Brewery. Its arsenal of instruments includes bagpipes, guitar, stringed bass, Australian didgeridoo, Scottish snare and African drums. This year a portion of the festival's proceeds will also benefit a committee vice president who is battling a severe illness. The move inside has forced a reduction in the number of performing groups and vendors at this year's festival. So, the event will begin at 4 p.m., a later starting time than in past years. Dunedin Celtic Festival tickets cost $15 per person. Children 12 and younger will be admitted free with a paying adult. Next year, Keith said, the concert may return outdoors with performances on two stages, but for this year they do not have to worry about whether it is hot by day or cold at night. Each year the Committee holds two events paying homage to the city's Celtic Heritage, Fall Celtic music festival and spring Highland Games and Tattoo. For information about where to buy tickets visit the Highland Games Committee Web site.

Eva Longoria's civil marriage
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are set to marry in a civil ceremony today (06.07.07).
The ?Desperate Housewives' actress and the basketball star will reportedly marry in a low-key ceremony at Paris' City Hall in the 4th Arrondissement area.
The civil ceremony - required by French law - will be officiated by Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoë and attended by the couple's closest friends and family.
Eva and Tony will also have a religious service at Paris' Eglise Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois church tomorrow (07.07.07), followed by a party at 17th century castle Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte.
Earlier this week, French-born Tony surprised Eva, 32, by flying her to a medieval castle - famed for its stunning sea views - to have dinner.
The couple returned to Paris on America's Independence Day (04.07.07) and treated 30 friends and family to a day out at Disneyland Paris.
A source revealed: "Tony enjoyed himself completely. He just loved surprising Eva this way."
Eva and Tony, 25, have now checked into an £5,000-a-night suite at the luxurious Park Hyatt Paris Vendome hotel.
A series of Hollywood stars are set to arrive in France for the couple's big day including, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, Jessica Alba and Eva's ?Desperate Housewives' co-stars Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman.
Eva is due to begin filming the new series of 'Desperate Housewives' in Los Angeles just two days after the wedding.

Are you a resident of the South End? Or Roxbury?
Many have simply stopped trying to figure it out, instead branding themselves residents of a hybrid Roxbury/South End neighborhood. What is your opinion on the matter? Where do you think Roxbury ends and the South End begins? Are you for or against a hybrid South End/ Roxbury name?

Hi everybody,
I have been riding to commute to work off an on for about seven years and previously ridden a bit of single track. I have started to ride a bit more seriously in the last couple years. In the last year I commuted year round and have started some distance riding as well. I am doing it largely for fun, to try to keep from getting fat, to replace my previously obssesive climbing habit, and to help out on the environmental front. I currently ride a TREK 820.
I ran accross the site this afternoon while searching for some bike gear and was favourably impressed by the thoughtful and courteous postings that I saw.
I am looking forward to lots of insightful future dialogue.

To determine whether fecal retention in encopretic children can be assessed objectively using the plain abdominal roentgenogram and whether roentgenographic evidence of fecal retention is associated with clinical findings on presentation in encopretic children.
Retrospective case studies.
Two pediatric incontinence clinics.
Sixty children (72% male), aged 4 to 18 years (mean, 8 years), who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Revised Third Edition criteria for the diagnosis of encopresis. All had a plain abdominal roentgenogram obtained on presentation.
Using a systematic assessment tool with good interrater reliability (k=0.65), 78% (47) of the children had fecal retention by roentgenographic criteria on presentation, while 22% (13) did not. Retentive encopretic children were less likely to have a history of difficult toilet training (P=.018) than nonretentive encopretic children. There was no association between fecal retention and several clinical factors, including historical features commonly attributed to fecal retention. Retentive encopretic children were no more likely to have a palpable abdominal mass than nonretentive encopretic children, but they were more likely to have excessive stool on rectal examination (P=.015). Using the plain abdominal roentgenogram as the gold standard, the rectal examination showed a positive predictive value of 84.8% and a negative predictive value of 50% in assessing fecal retention.
Fecal retention in encopretic children can be assessed objectively from a plain abdominal roentgenogram. Most, but not all, encopretic children present with fecal retention. A positive rectal examination is strongly predictive of fecal retention, in which case a roentgenogram is not necessary to make that diagnosis. A negative rectal examination may not rule out fecal retention, in which case an abdominal roentgenogram may be useful to make that diagnosis.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1995;149:623-627)

Our friend and coworker Jocelyn recently shared pictures of a one-of-a-kind sweater that she knit for her band's new album. I think you'll agree that it's truly unique!
In this exclusive video, Jocelyn shares a bit more about why and how she made the sweater.
This sweater is more than a fantastic whimsical piece; it inspires non-crafters and crafters alike to engage in dialogue about yarncrafting. Thanks for sharing, Jocelyn!

This IDC study provides IDC's view on how the four pillars (social, mobile, analytics, cloud) are shaping the evolution of the business and IT services market and industry using ongoing IDC research. This study presents IDC's analysis of how these four pillars are impacting the services markets as well as the seven geographic markets (United States, Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, CEMA, Japan, and APEJ) and concludes with IDC's essential guidance on what services firms need to do in order to adapt to the market changes that these four pillars are creating.
"The four pillars of social, mobile, analytics, and cloud are driving fundamental changes in how buyers and organizations want to procure business and IT services that involve more standardized, host-based offerings with the increasing ability to more easily localize and personalize services whether for commercial or consumer use," said David Tapper, VP of Outsourcing, Managed, and Offshore Services at IDC. "The impact of this for services firms using more traditional means of delivery (e.g., labor centric) will require that they fundamentally change their business models, go to market with the language of business not IT, pursue new markets, make strategic investments particularly at the local level, and change from following customers to leading them."

Sorry, we currently don't provide flight schedules to hengyang. Please try again to search for other departure and arrival cities!
Located in middle reaches of Xiang River, south of Mount Heng, Hengyang is a city with long history, culture and beautiful sceneries, winning the reputation of "a pearl in south China". According to legend, the wild geese stop here and return when they fly from north to south, so Hengyang gets another name as "Wild Geese City".
Hengyang has a long history. According to culture relics unearthed, five or six thousand years ago, people planted rice and bred pigs and cattle,...

How Community Ownership Can Save Wind Power
Community ownership may provide the solution for increasing resistance to wind power in the United States.
Production Tax Credit
America needs a secure and diverse supply of homegrown energy resources to power the nation. We also need to put more people back to work. Wind energy delivers in both of these areas.
The federal Production Tax Credit (PTC) is an effective tool to keep electricity rates low and encourage development of proven renewable energy projects. Equipped with the PTC, the wind industry has been able to lower the cost of wind power by more than 90%, provide power to the equivalent of 10 million American homes, and foster economic development in all 50 states.
The PTC is set to expire at the end of 2012, and it is crucial that it be extended for at least four years. Failure to extend the PTC will lead to significant job losses and roll back progress that we have made as a nation to diversify the U.S. electricity portfolio.
We need your support–please encourage your friends, relatives and acquaintances to urge your Representative to cosponsor the PTC Extension Act today! For more information on the topic and how you can contact your state representation visit http://action.awea.org/page/content/windPTC/Â
Learn more here about the PTC and just how important it is to our country!

In response to SanDogBrewin's comment:
"The Pittsburgh Penguins and their fans have seen this movie before. So, it appears, did the Boston Bruins. And it's not a happy ending for the Penguins. A little more than a year ago, the Penguins' cross-state rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers, knocked them out of the first round of the NHL playoffs by subjecting Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and company to a physical assault to cope with their speed. The result was a Flyers win in six games.
The Bruins employed the same tactics in the Eastern Conference final opener Saturday night at the Consol Energy Center, weathered a first-half storm and came away with a 3-0 win to the shock of 18,628 Penguins fans. The Penguins lost their cool at the end of the second period as Malkin got into a fight and afterwards Crosby complained referees Brad Watson and Chris Rooney let the Bruins get away with too much of the rough stuff."
The Bruins just need to stay on point!
Can someone please tell me how the Bruins employed the same tactics and got away with too much of the rough stuff. The way that I saw the game, the Penguins did the same thing that Vancouver did to start the series. They keep hearing in the media that the Bruins are Big & Bad, and they wanted to prove their manhood. The Penguins were the aggressors. First hit of the game was Letang running Marchand, at the time, I said awesome, just what I want to see. But as the media continues to run with the Big Bad Bruins, the Pens outhit the B's 34 to 19. Furthermore, the media likes to declare that the Bruins are so less skilled than the Pens, yet they outshot them 30 to 29, and dominated them in the faceoff dot 32 to 16, not to mention the skill of the goaltenders is not close right now. Oh yeah, and some no-talent, most under rated player in the NHL, continues to lead the NHL in playoff points!

The Rehabilitation Experience – Information for Patients & Families
When you or a loved one are admitted to rehabilitation, a journey begins toward improved physical or cognitive functioning. Our team of rehabilitation specialists from a variety of fields creates a unique plan of care tailored to your condition, abilities, and expected outcomes. We begin with a discharge plan and work together toward achieving those goals.
Rehabilitation takes focus and determination. It's hard work, but the rewards of improving your health and functioning are worth it. It's your job to not give up, it's our job to not let you give up, while ensuring your safety and monitoring your health condition. Each patient and family needs support and encouragement during the rehabilitation process. We are here to champion you on, support you and help you achieve your goals every step of the way. We also offer Rehab 101, an informal group discussion led by a rehab professional to educate patients and families on the rehabilitation process, resources and support.
A Day in Rehabilitation
Below is a typical daily schedule. Please note that this schedule may vary by person, length of stay, physician visits, procedures, tests, etc.
- 7 a.m. Nursing care
- 7:40 a.m. Breakfast
- 8:30 a.m. Occupational therapy
- 9 a.m. Physical therapy
- 10 a.m. Speech therapy
- 10:45 a.m. Occupational therapy
- Noon Lunch and rest

- 4 p.m. Psychology or group therapy/ therapeutic recreation
- 5:30 p.m. Dinner
- 6:30 p.m. Nursing care, treatments, bathing, family time and education
Looking Forward – The Discharge Process
Rehabilitation begins with a plan for discharge. We focus on setting goals and work together to achieve those goals. When they are met, the discharge process begins. We involved the patient and family in the plan of care at every stage.
A patient is ready for discharge from the rehab program when one of the following occurs:
- • Rehab goals and treatment potential has been reached.
- • Is medically unstable or a decline in status occurs.
- • Rehab functional status reaches a plateau and treatment potential has been reached.
- • Elects to leave the rehabilitation unit against medical advice.
- • Is unable to participate due to extreme behavioral needs and is referred to special programming.
- • No longer requires 3 hours of intense rehab therapy.
Before a patient is discharged, we review medications and home instructions with you and schedule follow up appointments. We also discuss any equipment required for continued progress at home.
Your Follow-up Care
Transitioning to home requires a coordinated plan and follow up care. We will schedule follow up care with you to ensure you are making progress and have your medical needs met. This care may occur with a rehab physician, therapy provider, specialty clinic or outpatient program. We offer many outpatient services and will work with you to select the appropriate care as close to home as possible.
Patient Satisfaction
We regularly evaluate our clinical, financial, workforce, service and operational excellence to ensure that we are providing the highest quality care. We are also CARF accredited, which means we meet strict international guidelines for high standards of care.
Your feedback is important to us. We welcome your feedback and suggestions through:
- • A survey sent to the patient's home after discharge.
- • A 90-day follow-up phone call after the patient has returned home.
