Sublimated Boys Basketball Jerseys
Custom Basketball Uniforms
Check out these boys basketball jerseys going to the G&G team in Montgomery County Maryland.
The boys wanted a red set of basketball uniforms that would make them stand out in their summer league that started in June. They added a funky side print on the panels and top of the jerseys. On the back and front of the jerseys they added team player numbers. The basketball pinnies that they chose were a collegiate style wider shoulder with shorter arm holes. They are a more form fitting jersey with breathable moisture wicking fabric and double hem seams.
For around $30 you can outfit your team with custom jerseys that will be the envy of the summer league. First, we send a proof of the design for your custom reversibles. Once approved, it is time to get to work. We prepare digital files based on the initial approved rendition. Then it is sent to a wide format printer. Special dye sublimation inks and paper are used to create a life sized pattern of the jerseys. This particular team had a combination of adult and youth sizes in their order. The jerseys are all printed on that roll of special transfer paper. Next it is off to the presses.
Dye Sublimation Press
The roll of printed paper is then brought over to our enormous dye sublimation press. Picture a huge oven with a roller and belt and thats what we have. The paper is married to a roll of mositure ready fabric at a high temp. Normally we spit out about 1000 jerseys per day depending on the season. The fabric now has the transfer of ink on it. All of the fabric is brought over to some very large cutting tables. Special electric knives are used to cut the patterns of the jerseys into individual pieces. There are four pieces to most reversible jerseys. All pieces are counted and sent to our sewing section for final assemble. The jerseys are sewn and then counted again. Finally they are shipped to you for hard wear and tear.
Lightning Wear is one of the few USA based manufacturers of custom basketball uniforms that actually assembles all of our garments in our factory. A lot of the guys that you see on the internet are resellers or they buy from overseas manufacturers. Our competitive advantage is that we can produce your garments must faster.

|Factoid :
|The nice image of the surface of Ardana is actually a picture of the Arabian peninsula taken from an Apollo spacecraft.
Jeff Corey, who plays Plasus, was one of Leonard Nimoy's acting teachers.
Stratos was literally a cardboard cutout hung from the ceiling on a wire.
Kirk wants to intervene, hoping to resolve the crisis so that he can get hold of his supplies, but the planets ruler, Plasus, is adamant that he not interfere in local politics. When Kirk's officers discover that pollution in the mines is causing the workers to become increasingly violent, the ship manufactures masks to block the effect. However, the leader of the workers, Vanna, refuses to believe him and he is abducted and held hostage. Overcoming his captors, Kirk deliberately traps himself and Vanna in the mines so that she can witness the effects of the poison. She becomes a believer, and agrees to provide Kirk with the zenite he needs. Although Plasus is still not pleased with the situation he reluctantly agrees not to press charges against Kirk for his interference, and the starship departs.
I'm not a fan of the idea that the miner's violent behaviour is a result of being poisoned. It's too simplistic an answer - it would have been more interesting if their actions had been consciously chosen as a result of social conditions, since that would let the episode play with themes of when and what type of violent action citizens are justified in using against their own society if it is unjust.
And not to harp on it or anything, but could that mask design be any worse?

|Not strictly a YATI as such, but the warp coils of a ship are supposed to be a series of large ring-shaped devices which sit in line along the inside of each nacelle. There shouldn't really be any such thing as a "primary" warp coil, it shouldn't really be possible to take a warp coil from one ship and stick it in another, and if you could then it should be a lot larger than the thing we see in this episode, given the size of Enterprise's nacelles. Of course we could always argue that Enterprise's warp drive operates on slightly different principles than later ships.
We get another speed nit - the meeting is three days from now, four light years away, and the ship is said to need to be able to reach warp 3 to reach it. That would make warp 3 equal to 487 times lightspeed, which is way faster than the ship is stated to be in "Broken Bow".
|Great Moment :
|It's good to see that they are keeping the ship in a crippled state rather than have unrealistically rapid repairs. I was also impressed that the repairs involve actual physical work - people welding, hitting things with hammers, etc, rather than just waving glowing gadgets over bits of the ship.
|Body Count :
|Hard to say, really. Reed says that five people are dead, dozens wounded. In the next episode, however, we will learn that eighteen people died in the battle. Presumably many of the wounded are being lost over the course of this episode, bodies being found, etc.
During the attack on the Illyrian ship at least one of the MACOs is injured and at least half a dozen or so of the Illyrians are stunned (at least I presume Archer had his people using stun).
|Factoid :
|The Illyrian captain is played by Casey Biggs, who also played Damar on Deep Space Nine.
It's hard to say that what Archer did was right, but it is also hard to say that he could have done anything else.

Cross Adorned Leggings
Canada - Shipping and Local Pickup
Carrie's Closet resides in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I ship expedited tracked shipping with Canada Post to all Canadian locations through CarriesCloset.ca. I offer flat rate shipping, so whether you order one item or 20 items, the flat rate shipping is the same. In Canada, flat rate shipping is dependant on your province.
- Alberta $5
- Sask BC $6
- Manitoba/Ontario: $7
- Quebec / Maritimes $8
- Yukon and Territories $10
Local Pickup is no longer offered. For Calgary-based customers, please come by the trade show and pop-up events offered to purchase product in person. Truthfully this is a commitment that I have made to my family that I would no longer have retail clients in our home. I do have a warehouse in the NE now that I will offer pop up weekends during periods of time when there is little trade show activity to accommodate local ladies that do not wish to pay shipping for Calgary delivery. I also open the warehouse evenings by appointment.
US and International Shipping
Calgary is a few hours from the United States border. I have since partnered up with another firm that mails packages via USPS, which translates to much better postal rates for my US and International customers.
Deliveries to the United States for shipping will happen every three days and you will receive a tracking number at the time that you order.
In North America, you can expect to receive your package within 2 - 9 days from the time you place your order.
Shipping outside of North America could take up to 3 - 6 weeks.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA: BE ADVISED THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CUSTOMS, DUTIES OR IMPORT TAXES. $20 only covers postage not customs or import taxes. I also have no idea what the taxes will be for your country. Please contact your local customs office.
Frequently Asked Questions - Shipping
When will my package arrive?
I do not know exactly when your package will arrive, but I provide you the tracking number when I fulfill your order so that you can track the progress of your package. Be advised that it can take up to 24 hours for tracking updates. It is not uncommon that I get an notification at 2 a.m. that a package in the United States has been delivered. I am confident that the mailman did not show up at your door in the middle of the night. So be advised tracking is not instantaneous, but it should give you a good indication of where your package is, and when it will arrive.
I cannot, and will not guarantee that your shipment will arrive on, or before a certain date. I have shipped economy and have had items arrive extremely quickly, and I have shipped expedited services and have had product after their expected arrival date which resulted in disappointed customers when they pay a premium for expedited service.
What I am happy to do is give you guidance based on experience. If you would like a ballpark of how long deliveries have taken in your area, please email me and I am happy to share that information.
What if I want an idea in advance of my order in Canada?
In order to check how long it will take in Canada out this handy dandy postal rate calculator. My postal code is T2C 3T2 out of Canada. I fulfill orders within 1 day during weekdays. I do not fulfill order on weekends.
Can I pay for faster service?
All shipping services offered are available at checkout when you enter your address. Services vary depending on your location.
What I can control: I can purchase the service you want and to get the package to the post office same day, or next day (depends on what time you place the order) in Canada with a tracking number so we can both watch how everything unfolds.
What I cannot control: Anything that happens between my home and yours. No matter what you pay, I cannot control this and trust me, I have seen this go very well and very badly. I don't want to lose your business over postage issues,so please consider your choice to use ecommerce rather than a retail outlet when there are critical timing considerations. I do offer Gift Cards, which are electronic and emailed to you instantly, so they are never late.
The good news: This process works smoothly the majority of the time.
At Christmas: Volumes are high, and delays are to be expected.
Stats! The track record: Approximately 2 out of 75 packages have arrived late in the last 3 months. 73 packages arrived without timing issues. We have had very few (2 packages in two years) go missing out of over 3,000 shipments in 18 months. The odds are in our favor, but the two customers who had gifts for loved ones arrive late would disagree, so remember this is not a perfect system -- but pretty darn close!
The better news: I am absolutely thrilled to now be able to offer better rates on tracked shipping through USPS and more options to customers all over the world.
To avoid disappointment, choose our standard shipping, and watch your package travel from my post office to yours.
I will accept returns for products that are unworn that are the wrong size, or were damaged upon receipt. The last thing I want is an unhappy customer. Returns are disappointing for both of us, so I will keep bringing in high quality items, if you promise to ask any questions you require to ensure you are getting the right product and the proper fit. That way, unhappy customers and returns are the exception, not the rule. Any returns, or questions about products from Carrie's Closet should be directed to Carrie directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or to Carrie directly at 403-620-9487 (call or text message). Tell me what it will take to make any product issues right.
What My Commitment Is
It benefits us both to have you out there rocking your clothing and telling everyone that you got them at Carrie's Closet. I will happily exchange or refund any unworn product (tried on is no problem) for any reason, or no reason at all, as long as it is unworn.
Returns are an unhappy moment for both the customer and the retailer. There's no way to avoid it, but I want to minimize that disappointment, so I have made the the following commitment to my customers.
1. I provide measurements on all clothing in my collection, in an effort to give you all the information you need to choose the correct size. Different manufacturers have different measurements and fabrics. Your best practice is to compare the measurements on the web page against your favorite fitting leggings at home. Every style is measured laying flat, in inches, un-stretched. Also, check the label of your favorite leggings. Are they cotton or polyester? High rise or low rise? I have provided all this information for you to stick with what you love (or avoid what you hate).
2. I have invested in photographs of real women wearing my leggings, not supermodels. I don't have pictures for all styles, but I have been cycling through the styles and getting photo shoots done in local Calgary women, in all shapes and styles, so that you can see how they look on ladies - not only on mannequins in perfect lighting.
3. I have laid out my website both by style (skulls, cosmic, etc), and also by Brand (K Too, Cemi Ceri, etc.). If you know that you are hawt hawt in a K Too Medium, search for K Too on my website to see the entire collection.
4. I am transparent. My email, address, phone number and all social media links are provided to each and every customer on my invoice. If you need to reach me to return a product, or to discuss any issue, I am easy to find and I am motivated to resolve it.
Shipping Charges with Returns
Shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer. If you do not wish to keep your item that you purchased from us and would like to to return it, its no problem at all. However, it will be the responsibility of the customer to return the product back to me.
What if Carries Closet Screws Up?
Admittedly, it has happened. I have packed and shipped an order with the wrong size or style. When it is my screw up, I will abssolutely pay the expenses. Buyer's remorse, or "what was I thinking when I chose that style", I will still refund or exchange, but it is your responsibility to pay for shipping. In order to avoid that at all costs, as mentioned above, I have made every effort to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision with photos and measurements.
Shipping Delays
I can accept responsibility for the product and your happiness with the product. However, the one thing I cannot control isshipping delays, or the Customs clearing process. I do not offer refunds for shipping delays.
Scenario 1
My aunt in Ontario shipped me a lovely Christmas gift the second week of December and paid the expense for a five day delivery, tracked, and I got it on January the 4th. Regardless of the fact that she paid for that service, and saw it was sitting in Calgary distribution centre for over a week in her tracking.
Scenario 2
I had another situation where two ladies in Texas bought the same item, the same day (Dec 21st) and they lived 2 miles apart and they bought the same item for New Years Eve. One received theirs in time on December 30th, the other one was a few days late on Jan 2nd and she did not get her top in time. The route those two tops travelled on the tracking form were completely different (one did a detour from Chicago, THEN to Detroit, THEN back to Texas).
Scenario 3
I also had a recent experience where a customer in Chicago received her package from me, through customs and on her doorstep inside of a week. A week!!! That exceeded my expectations, but that happens more often than not as well.
The good news, is that the post does an outstanding job and these instances are extreme and rare. However, those are VERY recent examples for me. The moral of the story is that I cannot guarantee delivery on a certain date. What I can do for you (and have done for customers), is I can look at previous orders in your province or state and give you the details of how long it took for an item to get from Point A to B and give you an educated guess based on the facts. But we both need to be aware that there is no guarantee. My advice on shipping, is to expect it to be on time, but be prepared for the possibilities of delays and be aware we are both in this situation together and I will work with you.
International Shipments
It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay all custom charges on international shipments. This is an additional cost, which we are both required to pay. I pay it when I import the products you buy, and you need to pay it when you order products from another country. I do not "hide" invoices, or declare merchandise as gifts, as this not only puts my company at risk, it also can delay a product clearing customs if the invoice is not present, and can further complicate insurance claims. Please know that every time you ask a small business to do this, you are putting them at a risk, and also potentially creating delays in receiving your product when purchasing information is not transparent. I will not be held responsible for delays in shipping. No expedited services are offered. Please do not order from me if you need a product by a certain date. Too much heartache for both customers and myself. Expect wait times of 3 - 8 weeks for international shipments.

I wanted a certification that separates me from my peers. Upon discovering CEDS, I was convinced this was exactly the type of distinction I had been seeking. Since achieving CEDS certification, I've noticed immediate recognition from my organization, colleagues, and current and prospective clients.They acknowledge they are more comfortable working with a person who has taken time to seek such certification. CEDS has certainly been worth the small investment and should continue to beget returns for years and years to come.
Andrew Bayer, CEDS
I get bombarded with all kinds of e-discovery stuff – news, blogs and whatnot. Let me tell you, you guys send the absolute best! I send it to all my partners and sales folks. I said, who are these guys? I have to get to know them better!
Kevin Glass, CEO
As a trial lawyer, day-to-day information processing is daunting for my client service. I've come to rely on ACEDS to keep me on the 'edge' of the curve on e-discovery. It's a source I 'ping' ASAP.

Frank Turner, �Last Minutes and Lost Evenings� (Epitaph)
Having released his first full-length solo album just five years ago, it may seem a little soon for a Frank Turner best-of compilation. But as the British folk/punk (or is that punk/folk?) singer-songwriter tries to transfer his UK success to the states, it�s actually a smart move � and an impressive nod to an already burgeoning body of work.
�Last Minutes and Lost Evenings� may not hold together as well as his albums of original material � notably last year�s �England Keep My Bones,� a stellar, foul-mouthed love letter to his home country. But it�s an excellent primer for those unfamiliar with Turner�s tough, impassioned shout-outs to rock �n� roll salvation and the healing power of good, old-fashioned camaraderie.
Turner�s at his most compelling � and funniest � when investigating his attempts to hang on to the stupidity of youth while being inextricably pulled toward respectability. �The Real Damage� tells his story of waking up in a strange house �surrounded by sleeping folks that I didn�t know,� resulting in a walk of shame that makes him question his current lifestyle choices. On the appropriately titled �Reasons Not To Be An Idiot,� meanwhile, Turner argues in favor of letting down your guard in search of more meaningful connections, admitting all the while that �I�m not as awesome as this song makes out.�
The songs from Turner�s last two albums stand out, particularly �Try This At Home� and �I Still Believe,� two of the best paeans to simple rock �n� roll salvation to come along this century. But all of Turner�s full-throated shout-outs to friends, family, country, music and everything else that makes life worth living are more dynamic and clearly heartfelt than most of what passes for modern rock music. In short, if you still don�t know Turner, you should � and this disc, complete with a companion DVD of him belting the songs live, is a great place to start.

Here's a funny skit by the Upright Citizen's Brigade:
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that playing the role of the uber enlightened spiritual master is mentally and physically devastating to the people who attempt it. I've retold the story a few hundred times about the serene and tranquil spiritual master I met in my teens who turned out to have been an accessory to murder, very probably at the exact time as I was sitting starry eyed at his feet imbibing what I thought were mystic truths imparted by one who seemed clearly to have transcended the agitated and restless state of ordinary people.
The other day my publishers told me that a lawyer representing "concerned people in the Buddhist community" called them threatening legal action should my upcoming book say anything unflattering about his clients — all serene and blissful Spiritual Masters, I have to assume. His clients needn't have worried their perpetually undisturbed little minds. No Zen Masters were harmed in the making of my new book. None expect me, of course. I come off like a complete and total prick (in more ways than one -- you'll see!). Maybe I should sue!
Such nice people, these spiritual masters. So unruffled by life's troubles.
It's like these guys have to be just as nasty behind the scenes as they are bland and unperturbed in the public eye. It happens so often it's scary. Balance, it seems, will be established of its own accord no matter how we try to tip things in the direction we'd like them to go.
It's too late for these guys and probably their legal counsel too. But maybe the rest of us can learn something. Zen practice is not about trying to re-make yourself in your own image of an enlightened saint. That image is born out of your unenlightened confusion. How could it be worth achieving? No, Zen practice is about seeing yourself for what you really are and working with that. Even Jesus himself wasn't all that "Christ-like" when you met him in person. Not that I ever met him, of course, or imagine I ever will. It's just that "Christ-like-ness" is an image that has no basis in reality.
Our problem isn't that we're so unlike our image of the saints we wish we could be. Our problem is that we make the fact that we're so unlike our images into a problem.

At what point will it make sense to have an operating system and all that implies for any project no matter how small?
Have you ever seen the cartoon where a fish is about to eat a small fish, but there is a bigger fish about to eat both of them and still another fish about to eat all three? I've noticed a similar trend in computing. If you are old enough, you might remember a time when companies made money selling disk compression software, TCP/IP stacks, or basic video players.
When you create or enter a niche market like that, it seems one of two things happen: Your niche is a fad and fades away or the big fish come in and add your feature to the operating system. If you are very lucky, the big fish at least brings you a barrel of money to go away. If you aren't lucky, you simply fade into computer history.
I wonder if what I think of as simple microcontrollers are going to go this way. CPUs are getting more and more powerful and less and less expensive. At what point will it make sense to have an operating system and all that implies for any project no matter how small?
Consider that you can get powerful 32-bit parts for less than you paid for 8-bit parts just a few years ago. Sure, you can always squeeze more performance out of a "bare metal" CPU, but unless your design is super simple, you are going to need an operating system or something that looks like one, anyway (even if it is home grown at great expense).
The other game changer has been Linux. It is now possible to get a robust operating system with very low cost and great development tools on even small processors. I've talked about the Raspberry Pi and the BeagleBone before. But I saw a new entry this week that caught my eye: the 86Duino Zero. For about $40 you get a 32-bit x86 processor capable of running Linux and other operating systems (even Windows). The system on a chip provides a PCIE bus, I2C, SPI, Fast Ethernet, FIFO UART, USB2.0, and SD/SATA interfaces. The real hook? It has an Arduino footprint.
I haven't played with one of these yet (but I will, and I will write about it here). It seems hard to imagine that for $30 this wouldn't be a killer replacement for an Arduino — maybe even a drop in replacement for some projects.
Granted, I can't put a $30 board into a mass market mouse, for example. But then again, if the board costs $30 at retail, I'm guessing the chip would cost less. If history teaches anything, it is that soon an even more powerful chip will be available for a lot less. It is just a matter of time before the CPU in my mouse at least could run Linux.
It seems to me, though, that Linux might not be the best operating system for a device like that. Time will tell if we will see a lightweight OS targeted particularly at low-end or high-performance systems.


text: Friday, January 04, 2013 APTA Clarifies Impact of MPPR in Updated FAQ APTA has updated its Medicare Physician Fee Schedule FAQ to clarify the impact of the multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) on payment for therapy services. Set to be implemented on April 1, the provision applies the MPPR to therapy services at 50%, up from 20% for office settings and 25% for facility settings. APTA estimates the application of a 50% MPPR policy will reduce payments by approximately 6-7% in aggregate for outpatient therapy services. This reduction will be partially offset by a 4% increase in practice expense that resulted from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' use of new survey data of practice expenses conducted by APTA. The impact of the MPPR reduction on individual practices and facilities will vary depending on the CPT codes billed and the typical duration of the therapy sessions. To determine the impact on your practice, refer to APTA's MPPR calculator, which can be used to determine payment rates for 2012 and 2013. APTA will advocate to fix this flawed policy. The association soon will call on APTA members to help in this effort. Comments So...would Medicare not have us treat beneficiaries for free or at a loss? That is the way this is trending and does not take into account the additional time and practice expense devoted to the functional reporting policies. I am at a loss...and so will be my practice! Posted by Greg Given on 1/5/2013 11:37 AM I'm sure when we first went to using RVUs, there was alot of discussion on how the PE value was determined, whether PTs would normally use one code or 4 during a standard treatment. If it was established based on several codes being used, then that's the way it should stay. I don't know why the current administration can't look at the history of the codes and the way they were originally set up and leave it there. As far as going to a "new" old system where we are paid a set fee for a visit, again, let's look back to history. When we first started our clinic we were charging a straight $50 or $60/visit. Then it all changed to seperate codes so we were not under or over paid! Why go back to the old broken system that didn't work! There's too much trying to control what we bill for based on diagnosis and condition of the patient by some bureucrat somewhere. Why not let the doctor and the PT decide what's best for the patient and pay us fairly for what we do so we can stay in business! Posted by Debbe Klaja on 1/5/2013 12:39 PM When I started in P.T. in 1962, private practices were a rarity, home visits were private pay @ $6/per, and most PTs started their careers in hospitals,"nursing homes", or rehabilitation centers. By the late 1960s/early 1970s, per visit fees in private P.T. offices were $45/visit. About 1971-73, the insurance companies pushed for the individual codes for billing. As a group, I can recall the P.T.s in Md. telling the companies that fees would increase immediately and significantly because we were not going to short change ourselves by devaluing our services with artificially low charges if the companies charged by codes. Of course, Blue Cross and others ignored the profession representatives and fees jumped 35% almost overnight. Posted by Herschel Budlow on 1/5/2013 3:29 PM The issue right now is that APTA needs to get the Math correct so that we all can deal with the true economic impact of this legislation. For me it is an additional 7% over and above the 6.5% last year. Most businesses that follow the Medicare rules cannot absorb the additional economic loss. The 4% that APTA claims offsets the loss is already in the calculator. Please I beseech everyone to do the math. 2013(Florida) 97110(2), 97140(1), G0283(1) = $106.51(full value) and $87.90(50%MPPR) =-17.5% 97110(2),97140(1) = $92.94(full value) and $77.79(50%MPPR) = -16.3% 97110(3) = $94.97(full value) and $79.13(50%MPPR) = -16.6% 2012(Florida) 97110(2), 97140(1), G0283(1) = 102.27(full value) and $95.42(20%MPPR) = -6.7% 97110(2), 97140(1) = $89.03(full value) and $83.49(20%MPPR) = -6.2% 97110(3) = $91.03(full value) and $85.23(20%MPPR) = -6.4% Difference between 2012 and 2013 97110(2), 97140(1), G0283(1) = +4% (full value) and -7.9%(w/MPPR) 97110(2),97140(1) = +4% (full value) and -6.8%(w/MPPR) 97110(3) = +4% (full value) and -7.2%(w/MPPR) The Grid already has the 4% increase accounted for! The true economic impact is -14% of last year's Medicare rates. This is truly devastating to all Part B providers. Lastly the APTA grid example cites 29583(Apply multlay comprs upr arm) that pays $65.24 for one unit. It skews the numbers because the value is so high that it offsets the impact of the lesser charges. I wish PT's used this charge but frankly it is not common (if used at all). Please tell me we are not that out of touch. Posted by Christopher Mulvey -> =FT]DK on 1/5/2013 4:02 PM My full time practice in PT is electrophysiological testing (EMG/NCV) which I am board certified and have done for the past 37 years. Medicare capriciously changed the NCV codes on 11/1/12 effective 1/1/13 with reductions of 50 to 70%. Most other insurers will most likely follow with these valuations. As this happens, I will definitely need to close down my practice since these severe payment cuts are ridiculously irrational for me to sustain a viable business. I believe and know this will be the case with other providers in similar situations which will most certainly affect patient access and quality of care. Posted by Michael Levrini on 1/6/2013 11:42 AM Christopher Mulvey: Members should use the 2012 and 2013 MPPR calculators developed by APTA to determine the impact of the MPPR 50% reduction on their particular practice; the MPPR calculator was developed for that purpose. As APTA has indicated, there is an aggregate impact of the MPPR policy on total Medicare spending on physical therapy services; however, the impact will vary for each individual practice and institutional setting depending on the individual practices billing patterns. For example, practices that typically bill 4 units per session will experience a greater reduction than those that typically bill 2 or 3 units per session. Also, practices that tend to bill CPT codes with higher practice expense values relative to the other values will experience larger percentage reductions. Posted by News Now Staff on 1/6/2013 7:59 PM Christopher Mulvey calculations look like my practice. We provide multiple services due to difficulty of patient transport in our snowy northern Michigan. I agree that the impact is understated by the APTA article. Posted by Ron vance on 1/7/2013 9:40 AM News Now Staff (in the future please identify yourself) - I used 3 units in 2 of the 3 examples above. I truly believe that it is representative of an ethical and commonly seen example of a treatment encounter. I am also well aware that the higher the number of units the greater the economic impact. But Frankly I don't want to live in denial because we can all just see patients for 1 unit and then there would be no cuts!!! Please stop playing games with the numbers. The simple fact is that most practices will expect and additional 7% cut above the painful cuts they absorbed last year (and that includes the 4% increase that APTA touts offsets the losses). The examples that APTA uses in the grid???? CPT code 29583???? I am not the one out of touch. I look forward to the apology! Posted by Christopher Mulvey -> =FT]DK on 1/7/2013 1:44 PM If corporations didn't take advantage of it and max out everyone they treated this might not be the case!! Blame the corporations who practically force the clinicians to treat for wayyy longer than necessary!! Posted by d on 1/7/2013 8:30 PM APTA is taking the short sighted approach to Medicare payment. Our profession needs to stand back and address what the ACA is intended to achieve: better healthcare, better health for seniors, at lower cost. Our profession must move towards a life course management model for people over 64 that includes chronic health management and prevention of catastrophic and deadly, expensive events such as falls rather than episodes of care. When we do, we will be able to justify higher PT rates because our professional services have value and save Medicare costs.APTA and our profession need to embrace the intent of the ACA. PT is a solution to accessible, affordable care if we change our practice model from sickness interventions to ones that promote physical health and protect our senior adults. Posted by Katherine Sullivan -> ?LR[@ on 1/8/2013 9:41 AM d hit the nail squarely in my opinion Posted by Jim Villella PT on 1/8/2013 10:44 AM I would love to see some evidence from d. I know plenty of PTs being given "minimum" codes per visit as a mandate for employment at 1 or 2 clinic practices. What defines a corporation, d?? Is it number of clinics, hospital affiliation, etc?? We are all in the same situation, why don't we band together instead of point fingers. Posted by Jeff Daly on 3/19/2013 11:22 AM

text: Share: December 21, 2012 | by Rosanne Skirble Climate Change, Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services Natural ecosystems in the United States are under greater stress from climate change than at any previous time in human history, according to a new report.Experts from government agencies, academia and environmental organizations say these stressed ecosystems are also stressing wild plant and animal species, threatening the nation's biodiversity.When Super Storm Sandy ravaged the U.S. East Coast and inundated New York City in late October, many wondered if such extreme weather events might be linked to climate change, the gradual warming of the planet caused, in part, by decades of industrial emissions.For New York governor Andrew Cuomo, there was no doubt."Climate change is a reality," he said after Sandy struck.Wreaking havocThe same global reality that swamped New York City is also wreaking havoc on the nation's wild places, according to a warning contained in the new report, "Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services."Bruce Stein, a scientist with the National Wildlife Federation and a co-author of the report, says one of its key findings is that climate change is causing many plant and animal species to shift their geographic range and distribution faster than anticipated."What that means is that, as these species shift out of their historic ranges, we're starting to see biological events happening earlier," Stein says. "We're starting to see mismatches between things like flowers and their pollinators, and species that actually depend on one another."The impact of a warmer world isn't just felt in more intense heat waves, droughts and storms every summer, but also in winters that are less cold."And those cold temperatures are a critical regulator of species outbreaks and also of species distributions," says ecologist Peter Groffman with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and also a co-author of the report. "And so what we've seen is that these pest outbreaks are much worse than they would be because we've lost these very cold temperatures."Assault on treesBug infestations are killing millions of trees in U.S. forests. If that assault continues, the report warns, tree mortality rates in western U.S. forests could double every 17 to 29 years. The loss of trees would lead to earlier melting of mountain snowpack and reduce the amount of water available for spring planting season."These changes in the winter affect ecosystems, biodiversity, during the summer period," Groffman says. "There are big changes in the timing of spring and fall, which affects the success for a variety of plant and animal species, and it affects the ability of ecosystems to hold on to improved water quality and air quality."That also means less water for people and communities to drink, says another report co-author, Mary Ruckelshaus, managing director of the Natural Capital Project."By most projections, climate change is going to triple the fraction of countries that are at high, or at very high, risk of running out of water," Ruckelshaus says. "People's source of water is going to be increasingly imperiled due to climate change."High stakesThe report's authors call for improved monitoring and better coordination among federal and state agencies to adapt to the impacts of climate change.Bruce Stein, with the National Wildlife Federation, says the need is urgent and the stakes are high."I think the bottom line is that these impacts are not just going to happen in 50 or 100 years, many of them already are here and are only projected to get worse over time," Stein says. "The good news though, is that climate adaptation finally is being taken seriously, and many state and federal land management agencies, as well as cities and towns, are beginning to put that in practice."For example, according to Stein, efforts are being made to prevent a recurrence of what happened during Super storm Sandy: salty ocean water driven by the storm surge breached the freshwater marsh systems on the Atlantic coast, contaminating critical shore bird habitats."Because just this type of breach was anticipated given rising sea levels, National Wildlife Federation and the State of Delaware are already working to create comparable marsh further inland and up slope that is better protected from heightened sea levels and storm surges," he says.The report released this week is one of several major technical studies being done as part of the U.S. National Climate Assessment, due out in 2013.Original article » Share: Media Coverage Report: Ecosystems more stressed than ever › December 21, 2012

Saturday 26th, October 2019 22:25:50: PM, coloring pages.
Do you wish to imbibe in your child values and morality that makes us good human beings? Then definitely you have to tell him fables, tales and also Biblical stories. Children do have a tendency to fall in love with God immediately as they are angels and they are innocent who understands the language of love, kindness and mercy of God. For that off course you don't have to buy Biblical images or images of God, Jesus, Holy Cross, Mother Mary and similar images. The Bible coloring pages will bring forth numerous images related to Bible and popular fables.
You might have heard of alphabet color pages that are used to teach preschool kids and toddlers. They are taught alphabets and relate them with their surroundings. Similarly the Biblical coloring pages are there too for getting direct print from your computer and show them to your children. The world of web has been really delightful in these matters. You can find ready made color pages in hundreds of styles and colors that also contain Biblical themes, stories like Noah's Ark, the Whale, miracles of Jesus, about the birth of baby Jesus, Mother Mary, Easter, Gift of Magi and alike. The use of these coloring sheets is perfect to teach preschool children the values and morals of Christianity, the true meaning of religion and how to become pious.
Coloring Pages Create Interest, Simple narration of Biblical stories may not create interest in them. But stories accompanies by colorful visual medium like Biblical coloring pages would strike their imagination and they would be able to related the narrations well with pictures. The color pages usually make perfect alphabet games as they come in funny shapes or associated with things children love like doggy, monkey, fairy, flowers, garlands, cartoon characters and others. Children love such visual medium and the Biblical pages too can be used to teach them various things.
The different types of Biblical coloring pages are - Abraham Coloring Sheets, Cain and Abel Color Pages, Adam and Eve Color Pages, Creation Color Pages, Easter Color Pages, David (and Goliath) Color Pages, Jacob and Esau Color Pages, Hannah and Samuel Color Pages, Noah's Ark Color Pages, Moses Color Pages, Ruth and Naomi Color Pages, Samson and Delilah Coloring Sheets, Old Testament Color Pages and to name a few.

"The Central Park Five" takes an emotionally charged subject — the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of five black and Hispanic teenage boys for the rape of a white female jogger — and makes its case in a straightforward, detached manner.
It is thoughtful, educational, understated perhaps to a fault — tonally, the trademark work of veteran documentarian Ken Burns, who directs, writes and produces this time with daughter Sarah Burns, who wrote a book about the crime, and her husband, David McMahon. It efficiently depicts but doesn't get caught up in the hysteria of the place and time: a racially and socioeconomically divided New York City in April 1989, when it was rotting with crack cocaine, AIDS and violent crime but also gleaming with the conspicuous consumption of the era.
As veteran New York Times reporter Jim Dwyer puts it: "It's as if there was a social moat that divided these two New Yorks."
The late-night attack on jogger Trisha Meili — then a 28-year-old Wall Street investment banker who's now an author and motivational speaker — became a symbol of this chasm and everything that seemed wrong with society. And the five young men from Harlem who happened to be running around Central Park with a couple dozen troublemakers that night — Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam — became all-too easy scapegoats.
"The Central Park Five" aims to clear their names publicly, once and for all, in a way that much of the press did not when a judge vacated the young men's convictions in 2002. It also quietly, insistently argues that this was more than just an example of detectives trying to make a name for themselves by quickly wrapping up a high-profile case — the one that introduced the word "wilding" into the vernacular — but rather a major symptom of institutional racism within the department.
For the sake of perspective, it would have been helpful to hear from at least one of the people who investigated or prosecuted the case, or from the tabloids that were so quick to condemn these kids, or even from the victim herself. All declined to participate.
But we do hear extensively from the five who were accused as they describe the fear of that time and the struggle to regain all they lost during the years they were behind bars. In archival photographs and footage, we see their sad, scared little faces and hear them admit to acts they didn't commit; as they calmly and methodically explain in present-day interviews, they felt coerced to say whatever was necessary to go home.
Contradictory confessions and timeline disparities didn't matter; neither did the fact that none of their DNA was found at the scene. The kids didn't even know where in Central Park the attack took place. Meanwhile, there was a mysterious "sixth perpetrator": serial rapist Matias Reyes, whose intimately detailed confession 13 years after the attack (not to mention a DNA match) set these innocent men free.
So how does this sort of thing happen? Even as "The Central Park Five" seeks satisfactory answers, it stirs outrage and discouragement all over again.

New Orleans, LA – The Allstate Sugar Bowl has been awarded the host site of the post-season football bowl game following the 2014 regular season, featuring the champions of the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 Conference, conference and bowl officials announced Tuesday.
The awarding of the site to the Allstate Sugar Bowl is a culmination of a process that began shortly after the May 18, 2012 announcement of the game.
The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, with the first matchup of the SEC and Big 12 teams on Jan. 1, 2015.
The agreement is for 12 years. In the event that the bowl is selected as a semifinal game in the new BCS structure, the game would not host the SEC – Big 12 matchup in that year.
The champions of the two conferences will be in the matchup unless one or both are selected to play in the new four-team model to determine the national championship. Should that occur, another deserving team from the conference(s) will be selected for the game.
"New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl are synonymous with post-season college football. For many years, fans have enjoyed the color and pageantry that New Orleans offers," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. The Mercedes-Benz Superdome has hosted many Super Bowls, Sugar Bowls and National Championship Games and having teams from the Big 12 and the SEC in a post-season college football game together only adds to this list. We look forward to competing against the Big 12 as a new championship tradition begins on New Year's Day."
"From the moment this game was announced, there has been tremendous excitement associated with the collaboration between these two conferences. That excitement is reflected in the bids received to host this game. There were great cities, attractive destinations, and impressive venues to consider," commented Big 12 Conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Now Big 12 fans can look forward to a New Year's tradition and coming to New Orleans to support their team. We are thrilled about our long-term association with our SEC colleagues and to be in partnership with the Allstate Sugar Bowl."
"We're pleased to have been selected to host this great game. This gives us the chance to extend the Sugar Bowl's long-standing relationship with the Southeastern Conference and to develop a new relationship with the Big 12 Conference," said Paul Hoolahan, Chief Executive Officer of the Allstate Sugar Bowl. "The result will be, without a doubt, one of college football's best bowl games on an annual basis, one that brings tremendous national prestige and millions of dollars in economic impact to our city and state over the New Year's holiday. We look forward to the tremendous promise this game, and these two great conferences, have to offer."
"This is a great day for the Sugar Bowl Committee, the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. What this means for our city and state is hard to fully explain," said Jack Laborde, President of the Allstate Sugar Bowl. "With the privilege of hosting this game comes a national spotlight, a position at the top of the college football world and untold tourism dollars. We couldn't be happier and are grateful for the opportunity."
During the 14-year history of the Bowl Championship Series the Big 12 and SEC lead the nation with 11 seasons in which each conference has had at least one team ranked in the top four of the final BCS standings. Both conferences share the top spot all-time with 14 teams each that have finished in the top four of the final BCS Standings. The two conferences have combined for 16 appearances in the BCS National Championship Game, with the Big 12 ranking second behind the SEC's nine appearances with seven trips to the National Championship Game.
The two league champions have met twice in BCS bowl games since 1998, both in BCS National Championship Games. In 2010, Alabama defeated Texas, 37-21, in Pasadena, Cal., and in 2009, Florida defeated Oklahoma, 24-14, in Miami, Fla.

Did Cash for Appliances Work?
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2011 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 01, 2011
It's a huge success? It hasn't gone anywhere? Actually, it's a little of both. Fifty states and six territories have launched Cash for Appliances programs since late last year. Each one had the same amount of money—about $1 per resident—but the results have been wildly different. Some states ran through their entire rebate budgets in hours; others can't seem to give away their money. What's been going on?

On the various other hand, governmental control can function, cf. alcohol guideline in Scandinavia or marijuana plan in the Netherlands. Alcohol and also medications, specifically, are readily available there, yet just under particular lawful regulations. For hooking, such information would certainly have to be functioned out.
We may also attempt an avoidance program versus hooking. State that all sex with woman of the streets is complimentary, yet they all have actually a sexually sent condition. Would certainly this "restriction" hooking?
Regulating hooking certainly seems far better than prohibiting prostituion. Can we believe of one more opportunity? (Sorry, could not withstand.).
If hooking were prohibited, after that we would certainly have just complimentary, consensual sex in the globe? Forbid something, as well as it will certainly go covert. Yes, alcohol usage did go down, however criminal offense went up.
Alternative 1: We prohibit hooking. Completely. Unconditionally.
Allow's neglect for a minute that this would certainly be really tough to implement. Web advertisements resulting in members-only "clubs" or exclusive "companions" will certainly be difficult to manage. Well, there is constantly a tradeoff in between liberty as well as protection, as we understand currently even more than ever before.
Alternative 3: We enable hooking. Openly. Financially.
Ethical problems apart, allow's claim hooking were freely offered as well as completely lawful within the policies of a market economic situation, in a similar way when it comes to any kind of service we have today.
Allow's encounter it, there will certainly constantly be criminal offense. Also if hooking were a "typical" organisation, it would certainly still be appealing to raise revenues by tax obligation scams, employee exploitation or deceptive (allow alone sexist) marketing.
Allow's attempt some idea experiments. It's safe enjoyable, and also we may find something we really did not understand previously. For functionality's benefit, I'm mosting likely to think women vendors and also male purchasers from currently on.
Presume that sex by certified sex employees is recommended by medical professionals versus clinical depression. And even that hooking is attended to totally free with sex employees paid by the federal government. (Contrast this, if you will, with the arising efforts absolutely free public transportation where bus chauffeurs still require to be paid by the public authorities.).
Of all: isn't hooking currently prohibited in lots of nations? To proceed this conversation, allow's think we're speaking about a nation where it isn't outlawed (yet).
Be that as it may, the major concern when regulating hooking stays: would certainly this lower prostitution-related criminal offenses by minimizing prostitution-related revenues? I'm not claiming it would certainly remove relevant criminal activity, however absolutely decrease it.
Think of a sex employee being like ... an aesthetic specialist. You would just go there if you really felt a ... particular requirement and also if you had the loan, however you would not always promote this to the globe at big.
State that if a "john" is captured in the act as soon as, he pays a penalty. As well as the 3rd time, he has his photo in the regional paper's sex-offenders web page (or something comparable on a Facebook, if you choose).
OK, so prohibiting would certainly not just be really challenging, it additionally would not function. Are you still interested? Keep reading.
Alternative 2: We manage hooking. Legitimately. Governmentally.
Claim hooking is easily offered, yet under governmental control. "Wait," I hear you claim, "that's not what I asked." Bear with me please, these are simply believed experiments, and also occasionally the most effective evidence is by reductio advertisement absurdum.
Choice 1: We outlaw hooking. If hooking were prohibited, after that we would certainly have just complimentary, consensual sex in the globe? Would certainly this "restriction" hooking? Regulating hooking certainly appears much better than outlawing prostituion. Also if hooking were a "regular" company, it would certainly still be appealing to boost revenues by tax obligation fraudulence, employee exploitation or deceptive (allow alone sexist) marketing.

From now on, every M motor will simply be based on an engine already in production. That means whatever cylinder count and block is already available in a chassis is all you will ever get standard model or M model be damned. The M purist has been moaning about this for years that BMW M motors will essentially just become their standard counterparts with some different software but the head of BMW M (Friedrich Nitschke) finally officially confirmed the days of the unique M motor built from the ground up by the M division are quite simply, over:
So the engines will be closer to the standard engines. We already see that in the N63/S63 motors a good example being the X5 50i and X5 M. For BMW this means huge cost savings and that certain internal parts do not even need to be changed. For example, the same pistons can be used for both an M and non-M motor now:
This is obviously a cost saving measure. BMW can share blocks, internals, and change software yet charge a huge premium. They can even offer performance software as a quick cash grab without having to change any hardware. The cost for the consumer doesn't become more affordable (M models are actually getting more expensive) but the profit margin for BMW increases. You get less, both for your dollar and in hardware choices, yet they make more. Hey, BimmerBoost tried to warn you.
So don't expect to see anything made by the M-Division like an S54 ever again. Or an S38. Or an S65. Or an S85. Or an S14. Those are not motors you can just slap different software on and simply call M engines. The M division is officially dead kids along with BMW's pride, get it through your heads.
This information all comes from an intereview by Car and Driver with head of M Friedrich Nitschke. It's quite amusing to see him believe the garbage he is spewing to Car and Driver. Some great lines to read:
The M5 and M6 are on a level with the competition weight wise? All wheel drive is too heavy? The competition has all wheel drive and weighs the same as BMW with rear wheel drive if not slightly less. A recent comparison of convertible GT's had the F12 BMW M6 come in last place because of poor driving dynamics and the heaviest curb weight by far with the car not offering much more than straightline acceleration.
What the hell is Nitschke talking about?
Game over kids, BMW M has buried their heads so far in the sand they can't smell their own BS.

Director Ang Lee's new film, Life of Pi, tells the story of a 16-year-old Indian boy who is the lone survivor of a terrible shipwreck. Pi Patel finds himself lost at sea, alone on a boat with a Bengal tiger.
The film is based on Yann Martel's fantasy novel of the same name. The book won the 2002 Man Booker prize for fiction and was optioned to be turned into a film even though it was considered by many in Hollywood to be unfilmable: How do you make a movie that takes place almost entirely on a boat? And with a real tiger?
But Lee, whose films include everything from period pieces like Sense and Sensibility to big-budget action films like Hulk and epic romances like Brokeback Mountain, decided that he was up to the challenge. He loved Martel's book and decided to take on every obstacle, one by one, using 3-D technology and special effects, including computer-generated tigers.
"I think 3-D is actually great for drama," he tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. "It just wasn't recognized that way because it's expensive to do and naturally it goes to action movies, but I've found that it's a valuable tool to tell [a] story."
Interview Highlights
On using real and CGI tigers while making the movie
"The good thing about bringing real tigers is — not only that they look real and are cheaper than [computer-generated] tigers — but they left a lot of good references for the animators. When we go about [making] CG tigers, we know exactly how they move down to every hair and muscle. We learned a great deal from the living tigers."
On why he thinks his film career is so diverse
"[When] I got hired to do Sense and Sensibility, I was very scared. I had never done [a] period piece, I had never done [an] English job. I had never worked in a so-called major-league production. I had a big learning curve. I spoke pretty not-fluent English back then. If I could do that movie, if I can get over that, anything's possible. That was very encouraging. After that, I was afraid that if I stayed in one place doing [the] same type of movies, I'd be pigeonholed and I would have a very limited career. I was scared that that might happen. So I have to take an adventure to keep myself energetic."
On why he almost quit filmmaking after the Hulk
"I was exhausted. After that movie and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it was five years of my life. I thought of retiring. And Hulk was related to violence and anger. You know, I didn't treat it like an entertaining blockbuster comic-book movie; I treated it like a psycho-drama. So it really took a lot out of me."
On his father's advice when he considered retiring
"He said it's a bad example for your kids so he said, 'Go ahead and make another movie.' For the first time he was encouraging in terms of filmmaking. He passed away shortly after that, and I had to finish that movie Brokeback Mountain. And that's a movie about love, and I really dedicate that movie to him."
On choosing his next film project
"I'm not a master of films, I'm rather a slave. When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it. Sometimes I [feel] it's the movies that direct me, not the other way around. So I'm just waiting for the next thing that grabs me."
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz. Director Ang Lee's new film "Life of Pi" tells a story of a 16-year-old Indian boy, the lone survivor of a shipwreck who finds himself lost at sea, alone on a boat with a Bengal tiger.
SURAJ SHARMA: (as Pi) We were both raised in (unintelligible) the same monster. Now we've been orphaned, left to face our ultimate monster together.
RAZ: The film is based on Yann Martel's fantasy novel of the same name. That novel won the Man Booker Prize for fiction and was quickly optioned by Hollywood producers. But many in Hollywood didn't think it could be made. I mean, how do you make a movie set almost entirely on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a real tiger? That was a question Ang Lee asked himself. He loved Martel's book, so even though he knew it would be a challenge, he decided to take it on one step at a time.
ANG LEE: Technically, how do you do boy and tiger on a boat? And water movie is among the most difficult one, and then adrift without Tom Hanks.
RAZ: Yeah. Tom Hanks could not play Pi.
LEE: It's not like "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks, established movie stars. Obviously, a 16-year-old Indian boy. And physically, it's pretty hard to pull off too. You know, how do you do the tiger? Digitally, 10 years ago when it came out, it's pretty impossible.
RAZ: You mean when the book came out 10 years ago, people--that technology wasn't there yet.
LEE: It wasn't there when I start doing this movie.
RAZ: Let's talk about the technology, because this is a 3-D movie. I mean, most people think of 3-D movies as blockbusters or Disney movies or, you know, James Cameron-type films. This is a highbrow film in 3-D.
LEE: I think 3-D is actually great for drama. It just wasn't recognized that way because it's expensive to do. And naturally, it goes to action movies. What I found is it's a valuable tool to tell a story.
RAZ: What were you able to do in 3-D? What did it bring to the film in your view that you wouldn't get if it was a two-dimensional film?
LEE: Most obviously, water.
RAZ: Underwater too. There are beautiful shots underwater.
LEE: Water and under water. Anything that's moving. When they bring out to your eyes, you feel you exist there.
RAZ: The majority of the film takes place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - a boy and a tiger on a raft.
SHARMA: (as Pi) My name is Pi Patel. I have been in a shipwreck. I am on a lifeboat alone with a tiger.
RAZ: The tiger's name is Richard Parker, for anybody who's read Yann Mattel's novel. Was that tiger real? I mean, he looked real.
LEE: Some of them are real. We had four tigers. We brought four to Taiwan to make this movie. And most of them are CG tigers. Believe me, you cannot tell the difference.
RAZ: I mean, you can't tell the difference. That's what's incredible.
LEE: The good thing about bringing real tigers, not only they look real and they're cheaper than CG tigers, but they left a lot of good references for the animators when we go about CG tigers. We know exactly how it move down to every hair and muscle. We learn a great deal from the living tigers.
RAZ: I'm speaking with the acclaimed director Ang Lee. His new film is an adaptation of the novel "Life of Pi." It's also called "Life of Pi." I'm fascinated by, not just by this film but also by your personal story. And I know you've been on NPR before, and you've talked a little bit about it, but, I mean, it is amazing. You grew up in Taiwan, and you came to film school here. You didn't speak English that well, and you got your BA. And then you went to film school, and you became one of the most successful directors ever in Hollywood. I mean, do you ever think about how unlikely that was going to be?
LEE: Well, it happened over, like, 20 years. At times, I felt it's pretty incredible. Most of the time, I just try to make the scenes work, try to overcome obstacles. And somehow, things work out. I don't know.
RAZ: It seems like you are always testing your comfort level. I mean, you go back and you look at your career, "Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man Woman." Those, of course, touch on Chinese culture. But then you go to "Sense and Sensibility," I mean, a classic of English literature, to "The Ice Storm" and "Brokeback Mountain," now, a film that deals almost primarily with Indian culture. How do you do that?
LEE: I don't know. I got sucked into those stories. They're so fascinating that I forgot to be afraid of them. I got hired to do "Sense and Sensibility." I was very scared. You know, I never done period piece. I never done English job. I never work in the so-called major league productions. I had a big learning curve. I spoke pretty not real fluent English back then. If I could do that movie, if I can get over that, anything's possible. That was very encouraging. After that, I was afraid that if I stay in one place doing the same type of movies, then I'll be pigeonholed and I will have a very limited career. I was scared that that might happen. So I have to take an adventure to keep myself energetic.
RAZ: I read that after you made the "Hulk," which, again, was a huge departure, because it's a blockbuster and it's a cultural touchstone, the huge comic book character, big budget, that you actually thought about retiring as a filmmaker.
LEE: Yeah. I was exhausted. After that movie and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," it took five years of my life. I thought of retiring. And "Hulk" was related to violence and anger. You know, I didn't treat it like an entertaining blockbuster comic book movie. I treated it like psychodrama, so it really took a lot out of me.
RAZ: I read that your--it was your father who actually convinced you not to retire, but this was the same father who urged you to become a professor and not a filmmaker.
LEE: Yeah. Well, it's more respectful than entertainer, a filmmaker. It's more acceptable, so to speak.
RAZ: I assume that he came around eventually.
LEE: Yeah. Retiring is worse than being a professor at age of 49. He said it's a bad example for your kid. He said: Go ahead. Make another movie. That's the first time he was encouraging in terms of filmmaking. He passed away shortly after that, and I had to finish that movie "Brokeback Mountain." And that's a movie about love, and I really dedicate that movie to him.
RAZ: Hmm. When you look ahead to the rest of your career, it seems like you don't--you have fought against and successfully fought against being pigeonholed. Can you imagine doing another huge blockbuster on the scale of "Hulk" or something? I mean, this was a huge film, obviously...
LEE: Yeah.
RAZ: ...but can you imagine doing that or veering off in a completely radical direction? Where would that direction be?
LEE: I have no idea. I'm so drained and--like right now.
LEE: I just try to survive this one, just emotionally, spiritually. I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave. When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it. Sometimes I felt it's the movies that direct me not the other way around. So I'm just waiting for the next thing that grabs me.
RAZ: That's director Ang Lee. His new film, "Life of Pi," opens in theaters November 21st. Ang Lee, thank you so much. Congratulations on this film.
LEE: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
