Personally I loved the flavors in this recipe, but my children didn't really care for it. Had I left out the chilies and onions, they would have liked it better.

Too Bad Everyone Else Got Better
While the Yankees Stood Pat, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and Texas Improved Their Rosters
On its face, general manager Brian Cashman's logic makes sense: If the big fish aren't available to be had in trade, or cost too much, then why deal away prime assets to get a marginal upgrade?
In that light, the Yankees' decision not to make a trade at the deadline is sound. They have a good team, with few holes, and they're among the elite...

I realized yesterday as I was reviewing a restaurant, that two of the choices I made from menus in June both had the word REDNECK in them. First there was the Redneck Pot Pie at HomeGrown in Asheville, NC. This dish was suggested by my son and it was delish! It's a pot pie made with BBQ chicken, cheesy grits, and a buttermilk biscuit – all in one. There is also a Redneck Cuban on their menu – perhaps next time?
Later in June we went to Dave Poe's BBQ in Marietta, GA. Here I got the Redneck Lasagna. Man oh man was it good! It's their creamy mac-n-cheese mixed with Brunswick stew. So excellent!
This got me to thinking – what other "redneck" foods have I savored in my life? The first thing I thought of was fried bologna sandwiches. We made this as kids – it was probably one of the first things I ever "cooked". Fast forward to the microwave age of my kids, and they made bologna bowls. They would put a piece of bologna on top of an inverted bowl in the microwave and nuke it. I can't remember what went in it, but I'm pretty sure cheese was involved.
Here's a similar version – The Hillbilly Bologna Pizza – watch below:

Jailbreak Developer Joshua Tucker has successfully Installed SIRI on iPhone 4 and iPad running iOS 5 . The work is going on to port SIRI on all iOS 5 supported devices like iPod Touch 4 and iPhone 3GS . It has not yet decided as how SIRI will be distributed for installation but Cydia is definitely a choice for the Dev Team .
Update : Read the tutorial to Install SIRI on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4 . Please note that this only the porting of GUI and not the complete woeking version of SIRI . SIRI Voice Commands are not supported yet.
Joshua also mentioned in his recent blog post that distribution of such files can cause copyright infringement issues as those files belong to Apple . So jailbreak team has to find a way through the legal issues of porting SIRI .
SIRI will Require Jailbreak :
You will need to jailbreak your iOS device in order to download and use SIRI . Since SIRI is only allowed to run on iPhone 4S , it will require some jailbreak tricks to make Apple Servers believe that your device is an iPhone 4S . The data exchanged between your device and Apple servers is intercepted and modified to do that method work .
Here is a video of SIRI on iPhone 4 . Though it is not a fully functional version , more enhancements is coming in future days .
There is currently no ETA on when the port will be released for jailbreak users . Stay tuned as we keep you updated via our Newsletter and Facebook Fan Page .
Update :
SIRI is successfully ported on iPod Touch 4 . Jailbreakers have released a video of SIRI working on iPod Touch 4 . It was ported by two enterprising young hackers, euwars and rud0lf77 . Check out the demo video below .

New York University students are calling for more support from school officials in light of revelations that the New York Police Department monitored Muslim student associations.
About 100 students, faculty members and religious leaders met Wednesday at NYU to show their support for the school's Muslim community.
The president of NYU's Islamic Students Association says Muslim students are afraid to express their thoughts and opinions. Ahmad Raza says they feel no one is speaking up on their behalf and that their educational experience has been compromised.
College of Arts and Sciences Dean Gabrielle Starr told the crowd: "You should know that you have our backing."
The Associated Press revealed last week that the NYPD secretly monitored the daily activities of Muslim college student groups across the Northeast.

Stepan, Rangers end Capitals' win streakFeb 18, 2013 - 2:51 AM
Carl Hagelin had the other goal for the Rangers, who have now registered at least one point in nine of their last 12 contests (8-3-1) after dropping the first two games of the season.
"I think special teams are key," Lundqvist said. "Lately, the PK (penalty kill) has been great, the power play's getting really good. I think that's a huge part of having success in this league is having special teams go well for you."
John Carlson had the goal for the Capitals, who had a season-high, three-game winning streak broken. Braden Holtby stopped 38 shots.
"We took too many penalties and it ended up costing us," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "We didn't give them a lot of chances, but we still made a lot of mistakes."
A tripping penalty on Karl Alzner gave the Rangers a power play 4:18 into the third period. The hosts made the Caps pay only seven seconds later after some nice passing from Brad Richards and Michael Del Zotto. Richards sent the puck to Del Zotto in the right circle. Del Zotto delivered the disc to Stepan on the doorstep at the left of the net and he lifted the puck over Holtby's pad.
The Caps were given a power play with under seven minutes left when Rick Nash went off for tripping. Lundqvist turned aside a left circle shot from Alex Ovechkin halfway through the power play. Ovechkin was wide on a one-timer from the same circle as the man-advantage came to an end.
Washington pulled Holtby for an extra attacker, but New York's Ryan Callahan blocked a shot in the closing minute. In the final few seconds, Joel Ward's deflection attempt on a shot from Ovechkin was turned aside.
The Caps broke on top 79 seconds into the game on Carlson's blast from above the right circle. Mike Ribeiro picked up his 400th career assist on the play.
Rangers center Darroll Powe, playing in his 300th career game, had to be assisted off the ice early in the second period. Powe went down at center ice after an accidental collision with Washington center Matt Hendricks. Powe, who appeared to hit his head on the ice, was helped to the boards by teammates Stepan and Arron Asham before going to the dressing room.
The Rangers tied the game on their 30th shot of the night. Hagelin was in front and deflected a shot from the point by Ryan McDonagh at the 7:39 mark of the second period.
"We were on the puck and winning draws, that's where it starts," Hagelin said. "When you win draws, you get the puck and they can't be as aggressive."
Lundqvist made a pad stop in front by Wojtek Wolski a short time later. Last season's Vezina Trophy winner had nine stops in the middle period.
Game Notes
Capitals defenseman Mike Green missed the game due to a lower body injury and teammate Marcus Johansson didn't play the finale of a three-game road trip due to an upper body ailment ... The Blueshirts' penalty kill has held opponents scoreless in each of the last five contests ... The Rangers have posted a record of 18-3-2 in their last 23 games against Southeast Division opponents ... The Rangers have won six of their last eight regular season games against the Capitals, out-scoring Washington, 28-15, over the span.

Massachusetts Lemon Law
Owners of defective cars in Massachusetts can avail themselves of a number of consumer based laws in order to obtain assistance. In addition to the Massachusetts lemon law, there also exists a federal lemon law known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which can be utilized either on its own or in conjunction with the lemon law to assist consumers. These laws require the manufacturer to pay your attorney fees so do not hesitate to contact our Massachusetts lemon law attorney to evaluate the specifics of your situation.
The Massachusetts lemon law, M.G.L. ch 90 § 7N 1/2, provides very effective means for consumers to obtain help if they have a defective car. Specifically, the Massachusetts lemon law states that it is presumed that the lemon law is satisfied if either of the following requirements is met:
1. The car was presented for repair on 3 or more occasions for the same nonconformity within one year or 15,000 miles from the date of original delivery of the car and the problem still exists; OR
2. The car has been subject to repairs for any combination of defects which total 15 or more business days (the days do not have to be consecutive) within the same time/mileage period described in 1.
Under this provision the manufacturer must also be allowed a final opportunity to repair any ongoing defects.
An additional requirement of the Massachusetts lemon law is the defect or nonconformity with the car substantially impairs the use, market value, or safety of the car. Our Massachusetts lemon law attorney can advise you whether your car's defects satisfy this element of the law. Basically the Massachusetts lemon law will not provide relief for trivial defects. However, what does not constitute a substantial impairment for one person may for another so it is important that our Massachusetts lemon law attorney consult with you regarding this issue. If all the requirements of the Massachusetts lemon law are met then the manufacturer must repurchase or replace your car.
Even if your car's defects do not qualify you for assistance under the Massachusetts lemon law, you may still be entitled to relief under the federal lemon law mentioned above. This law states that if a car has been subject to repeated warranty repairs that you may be entitled to relief ranging from money compensation to lemon law type repurchase/replacement relief. Our Massachusetts lemon law attorney can inform you whether the federal lemon law applies to your situation.
Is Your Car a Lemon under the Massachusetts Lemon Law?
If you have a 2010 or newer model year vehicle that has had repeated repairs or has been out of service for several days, it may be a lemon under the Massachusetts Lemon Law and you may be entitled to a cash settlement, refund or a new car. Even if your vehicle does not meet the lemon law requirements, you may still be entitled to a cash settlement, refund or new car under federal law. These laws can apply to used cars too.
You paid a lot of money for your vehicle and cannot afford to delay in resolving the problems with your vehicle. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to resolve your case. You must act quickly and present your problems to the manufacturer. Our experienced attorneys are here to walk you through every aspect of the Massachussttes lemon law process and make it quick and easy. Most of all, we can put an end to the headaches with your car.
We look forward to assisting you whether it be in the form of only providing advice or actually undertaking representation of your case. In whatever capacity that we deal with you there will be no charge for our services. So please do not hesitate to contact our Massachusetts lemon law attorney.
No fee or cost to you!
All fees and costs are paid by the manufacturer. You pay nothing! Don't delay, take two minutes now and end all the headaches with your vehicle. If you are having car problems, call us toll free at 1-877-57-LEMON (1-877-575-3666) today to speak to a lemon law attorney at no cost to you. Or you can complete the email evaluation form for a free case evaluation.

Our Massachusetts lemon law attorney will provide you with free advice regarding your potential lemon law claims, and if you have a claim, the manufacturer will be responsible for the costs and attorney fees involved in bringing your lemon law claim.

Michael Phelps has every intention of being just as unstoppable a force in Rio as he was in Beijing in 2008.
According to Sports Illustrated, the swimming sensation is now out of rehab and back into training for the 2016 summer Olympic Games.
Check out the video bellow for more on the story.
Treading Water
In 2009, Phelps made headlines when a British tabloid published a photo of the sports mega-star smoking marijuana out of a bong.
Then, in 2014, Phelps was once again embroiled in scandal when he failed to pass a field sobriety test after being pulled over for driving erratically in Baltimore.
Following the arrest, Phelps did not leave his townhouse for four days.
"I was in a really dark place," Phelps told Sports Illustrated writer Tim Layden, "Not wanting to be alive anymore."
This was a turning point in the Olympic champion's life.
With the support of his friends and family behind him, Phelps journeyed to The Meadows, a professional rehab facility in the desert, and got serious about fixing his issues.
The Return of The King
45 days after checking into The Meadows Phelps was back in the water and training harder than ever, according to his coaches.
The swimming community was set ablaze by his return. But it wasn't until the National Championships in San Antonio last year that Phelps proved he was back to his old dominant self.
At that race, Phelps took first in the 100 and 200-meter butterfly as well as the 200-meter individual medley.
All of Phelps' times in these events would have won him the world championships if he had not been suspended from that event for his earlier malfeasances.
Suffice it to say, Phelps is back in the game in a major way. Hopefully, this means we can all look forward to more electrifying displays of aquatic athleticism when he once again takes to the world stage next year in Rio De Janeiro.

I like explaining difficult grammar nuances as simply as possible, so I have developed my own explanation for different aspects of the Russian verbs of motion. Some of my students have found it helpful, so I decided to share it with others. This particular explanation works for the Future tense, but it also can be transferred to the Past with some adjustments.
First, let me remind you that the Russian word for go is идти (on foot). This is an imperfective verb. By adding a prefix you can modify its meaning and make a perfective verb out of it:
- по+идти = пойти (to start moving, to leave)
- при + идти = прийти (to come, to arrive)
Your way to the park starts with leaving a house and ends with arriving to the park. Those two major events can be represented as the vertical lines between you in the present and the part in the timeline:
Any action that can be represented as a vertical, a thin slice of your time line should be translated into Russian as perfective. For the first line, leaving home and starting your way to the park, you may use the word пойти: Сегодня я пойду в парк. (Today, I'm going to the park). For the second line – your arrival to the point of destination – you may use the word прийти: Я приду в парк через час. (I'll come to the park in an hour).
Imagine that you decide to take a walk to the park. You expect the road to take you about one hour. In your timeline, this hour is the space between the two vertical lines. It is not an event that takes only a thin slice of your timeline, it is rather a process. Any action that can not be imagined as a dot in the time line, that has no clear "borders"-vertical lines, requires an imperfective verb. In this case, we have to use an imperfective verb идти. Я буду идти в парк час (It'll take me one hour to reach the park).
It works for other verbs of motion too. For example, лететь (to fly, imperfective):
- В понедельник я полечу в Москву. I'm going to Moscow next Monday.
- Я прилечу в Москву в полдень. I'll arrive to Moscow at noon.
- Я буду лететь в Москву четыре часа. I'll be flying to Moscow 4 hours, the flight will take 4 hours.
I hope my explanation helped you to understand the difference between perfective and imperfective verbs of motion. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Your questions are always welcome!

Asked to bat first, Karnataka struggled against the leash as Mumbai bowlers not only kept a lid on the run flow, but also took wickets at regular intervals and it was left to Rahul to hold the innings together with a gritty unbeaten century.
Rahul and Stuart Binny (38) added crucial 82 runs for the fifth wicket as Karnataka recovered from 84 for four to end the day with a modest score.
For Mumbai, seamer Shardul Thakur and left-arm spinner Vishal Dabholkar took two wickets apiece as the visitors justified their decision to field first on winning the toss.

Overview Edit
Mobile carriers that provide Wi-Fi access points to their customers can use these access points to determine location. Like cell towers, Wi-Fi access points are fixed locations and send out signals over a limited range. Specifically, Wi-Fi signals are radio waves that provide Internet access to devices equipped with compatible wireless hardware. Each Wi-Fi access point is identified by a unique hardware address. Nearby compatible devices are able to receive this information and use it to request Internet access. Since a Wi-Fi access point's range is limited to a few hundred meters, accurate location data can be determined if a device communicates with the access point.

South Korea's second best smartphone maker LG, has been hitting the headlines regularly because of its upcoming device the LG G3, the successor of the G2 smartphone from last year. However, the name of the device is not yet confirmed officially but taking all the leaks and rumors into account, using the name could be safe until we get the real name of the device.
The device has been leaked online several times in the past and now the latest one that has arrived recently comes with more clarity, The news come from an inside source who has allegedly seen the G3 and revealed about it to the Bulgarian blog Nixanbal.
Recommended: Top 10 Worth-For-Money Android Kitkat Smartphones to Buy In India
The person responsible for the leak confirmed the QHD (2560 x 1440-pixel) display of the device, which was on the rumors since the time the G3 was first heard. The source also reportedly says that the display was 'impressive', but not just for its quality.
Recommended: Asus Fonepad 7 Dual SIM Hands on Review: First Look
IF past rumors are to be referred, than chances are that we are talking about a 5.5-inch display with a narrow bezel. Since the naming pattern of the device falls in the line of the G2 smartphone, expectations among the fans are that the device will come with a volume rocker and camera button at the rear panel.
There are hardly any information abut he device as of now and the company has not spoken about it until now. However, looking at the mock-up of the G3, the device would possible get a dual-shot flash light on the right, and something that looks like an infra-red (IR) beamer on the left.
There is no word on the pricing yet and nor the availability of the device has been disclosed so far. But most of the reports online suggests May to be the month of its unveiling.

BOULDER, Colo., (April 10, 2010) - The University of Wyoming track and field teams decided to take the entire team to the Colorado Invitational in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday instead of splitting their squad.
The Cowboys and Cowgirls had a very good day with a total of 31 top-five performances. The Cowgirls had 16 and the Cowboys had 15.
"We had some kids step up and do some good things out here," said head coach Don Yentes. "Overall it was a good day; I am pleased with the way that our kids competed today."
On the men's side, the hammer throw was performed on Friday and it had freshman Mark Sparks leading the way. He finished third in the event but was the top collegiate at the meet with his toss of 177' 7". He was followed closely by senior Sam Lambert and sophomore Joe Plante. Lambert finished fourth overall but the second collegiate while Plante finished fifth, third collegiate. Plante and Sparks would then compete in the discus on Saturday and once again finished second and third, but the first and second collegiate.
"It was a great weekend for Mark, he had a huge throw in the hammer and backed it up with another solid performance in not so great of conditions," said assistant coach Paul Barrett.
Freshman Brandon Douglass ran the seventh fastest time in the 110-meter hurdles and senior Kekoa Chavez ran the tenth best 400-meter dash. Douglass' time of 14.81 was good for third in the field while Chavez's time of 48.53 was good for first.
As for the Cowgirls, junior Afiya Walker finished second in the 200-meter dash with her time of 24.39, which is good for eighth all-time. Taylor Gardner continued her successful freshman campaign finishing first in the 400-meter dash with a time of 57.18 while senior Erica Anderson followed suite with her second-place finish.
Senior Johnna Jeffries in the high jump came so close to clearing the bar at 5' 9" but had her season best in the event at 5'8". Junior distance runner, Alysha Davis had one of her top times in the 3,000-meter run, finishing third with a time of 10:25.18.
"We had some nice performances today, Johnna and Alysha both stepped up and competed very well for us," said Yentes.
The Cowboys and Cowgirls will split their squads next weekend to compete in both the CSU-Pueblo Invite and the TCU invite in Fort Worth, Tex., April 15-17.

Chapter Eleven: Embers from the Past
Rey looked upon the ferocious entity that towered above him. A dragon. A spirit dragon. One so huge it made Meritius in his corrupted form look tiny in comparison. It's eyes were as big as Rey's entire body. As he looked at it, it surprised him that the volcano could even bare the weight of the dragon.
Yet through it all, the biggest surprise...was that the dragon was smiling. He had never faced a corrupted spirit that could show emotion, let alone talk. Yet this one did. What was so different about this spirit?
"You are no doubt wondering how I am different from my brethren?" asked the dragon, "We'll it's simple really. When I was trapped inside this volcano I tried to fight the power of the seal. Most of us I believe did. Yet as time passed I realized the truth. The more we struggled, the more we would become corrupted. It was then that I had a thought, a life-changing one. What if, instead of fighting the corruptive power of the seal, I embraced it? Would I be able to simply channel it's power and break free myself? Or would I become more than I already was?"
Though Rey already knew the result, it no less filled him with dread. The dragon's head circled Rey, who was still on his knees, as he talked.
"So I choose the path of least resistance and allowed the corruption to come into me. I'll admit at first I was a little frightened, worried that I might become something I didn't recognize. But soon it was complete, and I could feel myself still in my head and body. I was transformed, made larger, made stronger! It was invigorating! And yet, there were drawbacks. The power of the seal still contained me to the island, but I could still use my newfound power and have some fun."
"You call terrorizing people fun?" shouted Rey, "There are people who are without a home because of you! People have lost their lives because of you, and you call that fun?"
"You're right, it's more like payback against the ones who imprisoned me."
"Those people were innocent!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT!?!?" roared the dragon, "You know not who all is in The Conspiracy, you only know the ones at the top. What about the others? The ones who wrangle more supporters by the day and make their forces stronger? It may be true that if you cut off the head of the snake the body will die, but in some cases, the head may just grow back. You want to take down the enemy? You wipe them all out, and make sure they don't grow back."
"At the risk of everyone else? Where does it end? I don't know how big The Conspiracy is, but I know they're all over, what're you going to do? Wipe out all human life?"
The dragon leaned in even closer to Rey, "Now that you mention it...yes."
"That's not going to happen." said Rey getting up for the first time since the dragons appearance
"You're going to try and stop me? Don't make me laugh."
"I've taken down worse than you."
"No you haven't. I can sense all the spirits on you. The worst you faced was a Dark Spirit, and you got lucky on that one, you had Swift to bail you out. Swift's always bailed you out. In case you didn't notice, I took care of him and your friends. You're alone."
"That's all I need to be to take you down."
The dragon laughed and the sky shook with thunder, "You are a fool Rey. Always thinking you're stronger than you think you are. You haven't even mastered the Avatar State, and you think you can take me? I am one of the elder spirits! One of the four that made you who you are! You dare say you can beat me? I am Matrogan, and I will end this once and for all, starting with you!"
Matrogan leaned his head back, then snapped it forward and let forth a massive flamethrower. Rey ran as fast as he could to dodge, and when it became clear he couldn't he raised some earth to protect him. The fire blasted against the earth wall...until it suddenly stopped. Rey dropped the wall just in time to see a massive claw swipe at him, sending him flying to the ground near the edge of the island.
The pain was intense, but Rey pushed himself back up. Seeing the water next to him he summoned it, and quickly healed the wounds that had appeared on his body. He then spun the water around him like a helix and rushed towards the dragon. Matrogan lashed out at him again, but Rey leapt over the arm then used the water to whip it. He then flew straight towards his face and unleashed a fury of water attacks. The dragon roared as Rey didn't let up, and continued as long as he could before being struck down again.
Matrogan went back on the offensive with another flamethrower. This time Rey was ready, and blocked it with a barrier of both water and air. Unbeknownst to him though, the dragon was using the flamethrower as a distraction. It's tail had wormed it's way around to Rey, and when in position it reached out and grabbed him, lowering the barrier. The dragon whipped Rey up and down with his tail, pounding him into the ground without mercy. When he finally let go Rey could barely move.
He laughed at his plight, "Is that all? Is that all you got Rey? I thought you had much more to give. What happened to the confidence you had minutes ago? Where is it Rey? Come on, show me what you are made of! Show me what you can do!"
Rey could only faintly hear him. Muffled words, sounds, yet what he did hear fully was the last line. "Show me what you can do." In his state, his mind wandered back. Far back, when his life was much simpler...
A small clearing in the middle of the woods. A half built cabin stands on one edge of the clearing. Near some of the trees a woman appears with a basket full of berries. She looks around and sees a man near the other side of the clearing. She walks over to him and looks around some more.
"Where is our son?" she asks the man
Instead of answering the man points up. The woman looks up and sees a small boy climbing a tree. The tree is tall, and the boy is very high up. Her expression becomes on of exasperation.
"What is he doing up there?
"I said I wanted an apple, and he volunteered to get me one." said the man with a smile
"There are smaller trees for which he could climb to get you one."
"Well I may have told him that the best apples in the forest come from this tree. And what son wouldn't want to give his old man the best apple ever?"
The mother shakes her head, "Why must you do this to him? He's just a boy."
"My father did the same thing to me growing up. It's a lesson, one that will pay off soon. Just watch and see."
The two watched as the son continued to climb the tree. He almost reached the top when suddenly he began to drop. The boy latched on to the tree and was able to stop before hitting the ground. He looked at his hands, they were full of scratches. The boy looked down at his father with tears in his eyes.
The father saw this and smiled, "You hurt yourself huh? That's going to happen a lot. You have two choices. Come down and give up, or, power through and get the apple. Your choice, which do you want to do?"
"I don't know," said the boy, "what would you do?"
"This isn't about me, it's about you. I know you can do it, you're stronger than you think. If you think so too then keep climbing, and show me what you can do!"
The boy looked down and up for a few seconds. He took a deep breath and stopped crying, then started to climb once more. Every step hurt, his hands stung with pain every time he grabbed the bark, but he kept going. Finally he reached the top of the tree and got the apple. He proudly showed it to his parents. His father clapped and held out his arms, signifying that the kid should jump. Without hesitation he did and the father caught him. The father was proud of the achievement.
"See? I told you. You're stronger than you know." said the father to the son, he then went serious, "There are going to be times when you are beat down, just like now, and you'll want to give up because you'll think it's easy. When times like that happen, you need to reach down deep and find the courage to keep going, even when your body is screaming to stop. That drive to keep going, that's what'll separate you from everyone else. That's what will make you special. Can you do that Rey? Can you keep going no matter what?"
"I will dad." said Young Rey
Back in the present Rey groaned to life, "I will dad, I will."
He slowly lifted himself up off the ground and faced the dragon once more. His body screamed in pain, but he ignored it, he wasn't going down like this.
"Ready for round two?" smirked the dragon
"Always" said Rey through gritted teeth
Matrogan tried to smash Rey with his claw. With fury Rey countered by raising massive pillars of spiked earth at him. The pillars crashed into the dragons claw, making him recoil in pain. Using power he didn't have earlier Rey broke one of the pillars, grabbed onto it, and swung it like a stick and bashed the dragons arm repeatedly. When the pillar broke he went back and did it again, and again. He hit the dragon everywhere he could, not stopping even once.
Rey continued to pour on the pressure until Matrogan countered once again with his flamethrower. Rey raced around it, using the air and earth as his getaway tools. The dragon kept it up though, that is until Rey starting getting so close to the dragon that the fire began burning it's master. Seizing the opportunity, Rey attacked with combined strikes of air, earth, and fire. He pelted the dragon with whatever he could muster, and for a while it seemed like Rey was winning. But that didn't last long.
"Enough!" shouted the dragon
Matrogan reared back, Rey believed he was getting ready to do another flamethrower, but instead the dragon began flapping its massive wings. Massive gales of wind were summoned by the dragons wings and they began to push Rey back. He tried raising up barriers to block it, but it wasn't working. In fact, the more the dragon flapped its wings the stronger the gales got. Soon they picked up earth and rubble, and Rey began getting pelted, even with the barrier up bits and pieces were making it through. The ground underneath him began to shake and break apart. Seeing Rey's position, Matrogran let loose a final flap of air, the gust hit Rey full on and sent him back. Rey flew through the air before crashing head first into the water.
He struggled to get back to the surface. When he managed to he found a new problem, massive waves that were beginning to crush him. Unable to think clearly due to his head throbbing he couldn't bend, the water repeatedly hit him, making Rey swallow water. After only a couple of hits he began to sink. His vision began to blur. It was over. He lost against the dragon because of its wings...such a dirty trick...
His mind again wandered...
In a field near his home, Rey and his mother were picking flowers. This version of Rey was a year or two older from the previous one. After picking flowers for a while both Rey and his mother sat down in a small spot and enjoyed the day.
"I used to come out to a similar place with my parents," said his mother, "we would just sit and watch, be at peace. I used to think that if the leaders of the world would sit down in a place like this, away from all the distractions and obligations they believed to be honoring, that they would solve every problem in front of them without incident. Because like that field, they would just subscribe to the peace around them."
"To bad people aren't as smart as you mom." said Rey
She smiled, "You're too kind son. Unfortunately life is not that simple. There are things that fuel us beyond the basic desires of peace and the happiness of our people. There are those who thirst for power, who want nothing more than to have it, they would not be susceptible to my idea, let alone the ones of others. Some people cannot be helped. That is why your father and I moved here, so that we can enjoy the simplicity of life, without the evils that the big cities seem to attract."
"It's not all perfect..."
"What do you mean?"
"There's this kid, he's an Earthbender, he throws his weight around like he owns the village, and no one catches him in the act because he always appears to be a step ahead of everyone. None of us know what to do."
"I see."
Rey's mother looked around at the fields, at first it appeared that she was simply admiring the beauty of the place, then she smiled and turned back to Rey.
"Do you see that?" his mother asked with a point of the finger
Rey moved to see what she was looking at. Near the flowers were two small insects. One was big and massive, the other skinny, yet spry-looking. When he looked back at his mother she pointed to the one on the right.
"Do you know what that one is called?"
"Um..." he hummed before responding, "Isn't that a ramming cricket?"
"Correct. Now, to the other insect, it would appear that it is about to get an easy meal. But watch the cricket."
Rey watched intently as the bigger insect got dangerously close to the cricket. At the last possible second the cricket noticed its predator and jumped. But instead of jumping away, it bounded towards a flower stem. It hit the stem then bounced back towards the other insect hitting it head on. The cricket then repeated the process until the bug ran away. Rey was impressed.
"Woah." said Rey
His mother laughed, "Yes, it was amusing wasn't it? That's something else you need to learn Rey, just because someone appears to be at a disadvantage doesn't mean they are. That bully will meet his match one day and learn his lesson, but you must be careful as well. If you become overconfident it could mean defeat by an unexpected ability."
"What should I do when that happens?"
"Take the cricket. Yes it's ramming ability was impressive, but it also had a weakness. If the other insect timed it just right, it could've hit the cricket as it came towards him. Or it could've leapt and squashed it underneath its body mass. Sometimes you just need to think clearly and turn the situation around..."
Back in the water Rey reflected on his mothers words and calmed down. It was his struggling that was causing him to sink. After pausing for a few seconds his mind became clear, and he connected to water around him and shot himself out of the ocean. Once in the air he breathed steadily and got life back into him. As he fell towards the water once again he brought it up to him. He stared down Matrogan on top of a pillar of water. The dragon looked at him in disbelief.
"You are something else aren't you? Why don't you just give up?" it asked him
"It's not how I was raised!" Rey shouted back
With a motion Rey brought forth even more pillars of water and surged towards Matrogan. He began circling the island on his pillars of water, and continuously shot them towards the dragon. Every time it tried to destroy the pillars Rey would just counter by jumping to another one. With the ocean all around he had an unlimited supply of water. It was time to make the fight a long distance one, until an opening appeared for him to capitalize on.
Rey and Matrogan traded blows back and forth. Repeatedly the dragon tried to get rid of Rey's pillars, but every time Rey would just summon more. Getting creative, Rey summoned small bubbles of water and transformed them into his ice swords and sent them flying towards Matrogan. The dragon though burned through them with his flamethrower. When it reached Rey he protected himself in a water barrier, making the fire turn to steam. He would then use the cover to get away.
It was then that Rey got an idea, smokescreen. He continued to play the running game, waiting for Matrogan to use his flamethrower again. When he finally went for it and used it Rey sprung into action. Like before, Rey raised a wall of water to stop the flamethrower, and again steam was made. But this time Rey began spreading the steam around using his Airbending. Matrogan kept pouring on the flame thinking he was wearing Rey out, when instead he was falling into Rey's trap.
Soon the entire island and part of the surrounding water area was covered in a thick fog like steam. The dragon ceased his fiery assault when he realized that Rey wasn't there. He looked around, but he could barely see the rest of his body in this fog.
"Where are you? You try to hide from me?" roared Matrogan, "Fine! I know how to find you!"
He reared himself and began flapping his massive wings. The gales of winds that came forth struck the steam and made it dissipate with hesitation. Within seconds his visibility was full once more. But Rey was still no where to be found. This confused the dragon.
"Where is he?"
The dragon looked around but saw no one. He leaned back and roared at the sky in anger. It was then that Rey struck.
Coming up out of the water, ice swords in hand, he leapt into the air, and when close enough he stabbed at the dragons wings, slicing the membrane that held them together. Matrogan shouted in pain, and Rey added to it by slashing the other wing as well.
Both of them hit the ground, but in very different positions. Rey landed on his feet, tired, but happy he made a sure-fire dent in his foe. Matrogan hit the ground out of pain. He looked at his shredded wings and grimaced.
"What have you done?" asked Matrogan
"Grounded you." said Rey, "If you think you're leaving this island now, you're crazy. Also, your gusts won't be as powerful because of the holes in your wings. You really shouldn't have thrown me into the water. You basically hurt yourself by giving me a new advantage."
With a shout Matrogan began to glow, his body rippled with color. Rey watched as the once shining red dragon transformed into the purest black monster he honestly had expected to meet the first time.
As Rey saw the transformation be complete he noticed that the dragons wings were healed, and they looked even tougher than before. Any damage he had done to him...was healed and made better. He was screwed.
"Oh crap." he said
Matrogan looked at him and growled, no words this time, the corruption had finally, truly, taken over. Instead of talking, the dragon just bared his teeth and roared. The sound again sent Rey to his knees. Before he could even get up Matrogan struck with speed he didn't have before. Rey was flown in to the air, he was then caught by the black dragons' claw and slammed back into the earth.
Rey tried to get up, but the dragon refused to let him. With fury and intensity the black dragon repeatedly smashed Rey with it's claw. The brunt of the attack just hitting Rey felt like a building dropping on him. It was unbearable. He couldn't move, he could barely breathe. This had only happened to him twice before. Once was when Swift blasted him into the mountain after he lost his mind. The second...was when his mother died.
Inside the cabin we see a young Rey tending to his sick mother. Rey has a mixed expression of fear and anxiety, but his feelings didn't stop the work he was doing. He had to do all he could to make his mother comfortable so that she could get better, or at least that's what he hoped.
Soon though his mother called him over, "Rey...come here."
Without hesitation he went to his mother's side, fear in his eyes, "What do you need?"
"I just...need you here, I want to be with you...before..."
Rey's eyes welled up, "No, no mom please, don't do this, please don't die."
"I'm so sorry Rey." she replied weakly, "This should never have happened to you, one should never have to experience this so young."
Rey couldn't respond, he continued to cry.
"Please Rey, looked at me."
He did with tears in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, we'll see each other again someday. Until then, live your life, don't let it end without your say so. We will live on through you, we'll be with you always. Remember that."
"I will, I promise."
With that she gave one final smile to he son, then she closed her eyes. Rey felt her hand grow cold. He sobbed uncontrollably until he found himself outside. His sadness turned to anger, how did this happen to him? With a roar, not unlike a dragon he would meet later on, he let loose all his anger, and from the ground fire emerged. Unknown to many, that day, the Avatar was born. The fire rose high into the air, the intensity burned Rey's energy, and the nearby oxygen, causing him to faint.
Nearly twelve years later, on an island so far from his home, Rey was about to die.
Several thoughts ran through his mind, but the only thing he could think to say before the end was, "I'm sorry mom."
Then just like she did, he closed his eyes, and felt himself go cold.
...a light made him open them once more. He looked around and saw himself in a gray expanse. Nothing was around him. He looked at his body out of reflex, it was completely healed. It was then he knew that he had died. He sighed in relief.
"Did you really want to die that badly? said a voice behind him
He first reacted simply to hearing a voice, but then he recognized it. Rey turned around to see his mother standing before him.
"Mom?" Rey asked, with an expression similar to the one he had when he was a kid
She smiled and held out her arms, Rey ran into them, and mother and son embraced for the first time in years. He again cried, but this time out of joy.
"I'm so happy to see you."
"I am too Rey."
"It's just like you said, we did get to see each other again."
His mother gave him a small, sad smile, "Yes, but it is not for long."
"I...I don't understand." he replied confused
"You're not dead Rey, not yet."
His sadness and confusion were replaced by exasperation and anger as he stepped away from her in near outrage, "Oh come on! I got beaten down by a dragon, what do I have to do? How much more do I have to suffer before finally getting what I deserve?"
"You think you deserve to die?" she asked, still very calm
"In a way...yes."
"Because I failed. Constantly and consistently, and every time I fail something bad happens. People get hurt, or die, or worse. I wasn't able to stop The Conspiracy from killing Zaron, I didn't get the chance to save our village from being destroyed, or stop their bombs from taking the cities away, or murdering the spirits and slowly destroying our world. And because I couldn't see the danger in letting that dragon free? My friends are dead, and I'm lying in a dragon claw shaped crater barely clinging to life. What more is there to fail at? Oh, I can go to Ba Sing Se right? Watch all my allies get wiped out? With my luck that's what will happen."
He began to laugh, though with great weight and sadness. He looked at her with the saddest of eyes.
"Why me mom? Why does this happen to me? Why does this always happen to me?"
"You were chosen," she said walking to him and placing her hands on his shoulders, "the Avatar Spirit saw something in you that it didn't see in others. Though this life has dealt you the roughest of hands, you have also been blessed with the power to save lives, save the world. All you need to do is tap into it and you can save everyone, including yourself."
"The Avatar State? I can't."
"Yes, you can."
"No, I can't! I talked to Korra, something is blocking me from doing it on my own, and I don't know what is."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't."
"Who are you?" she asked him
He became confused, why did she ask him that?
"I'm your son."
"Who are you?"
"I am Rey."
"Who are you?"
"I am the protector to those in need."
"Who are you?"
"I am the guardian of my home."
"Who are you!?" she yelled at him
"I am the defender of this world!"
She went quiet, "Did you notice what you didn't say? The one thing that should've been the first thing you said?"
Rey looked away, he knew what she meant.
"Rey, the one thing that you are, that you've never been able to admit...is that you are the Avatar. True, you've mentioned you're the Avatar, or stated it as a fact of reference. But you've always considered yourself a guardian first, and the Avatar second, if at all. You put your mentality as a protector of people in front of the mentality of being the Avatar."
"You know why don't you?" he asked her
"I want you to tell me."
"It's because I never wanted to be the Avatar! I never wanted any part of it! When they told me who I was I said 'no', and I meant it. It was only after Graham convinced me to do so that I went along with this charade. And you know what? Every single thing that I pointed out to that council, that I said would happen if I showed up in the world? It happened. All of it. I tipped the scales, and darkness shot right back into the world. It's the Avatar's fault, my fault...my fault."
He fell to the ground. It had been so long since he truly told someone how he felt. Yet, he didn't feel better.
"All I ever wanted to do was protect our home. To give it the peace it deserved. And because of me being the Avatar, I had to leave, and now it's gone...because of me"
"I know it may seem that way, but it's not true." she said with clear sincerity, "Even if you were there it wouldn't have meant you could've save it. You forget, everyone is ok, they're living in our old clearing. Making a new home for themselves. They're happy again, I watch over them often, so I would know."
Rey smiled at this. She went over to her son and raised his head.
"I know how you feel, and part of how you feel is because of what happened to your father and I. We passed too soon, it hurt you deeply, and gave you the mindset you now covet. Before everything happened it was a noble goal you were trying to achieve. But now, now you must accept who you are, else all will be lost. What's coming Rey is greater than a dragon, greater than any one spirit. I know what awaits you in Ba Sing Se, you need to be alive, to fight back with your allies, else all will be wiped away. But to win, to truly win, you must unlock the Avatar State. You must be able to control it without hesitation, and use its full power."
"How?" he asked
She put her hand on his chest where his heart beat, she then extended it out and a ball of light appeared. It went out a bit then transformed into a pillar of light.
"When you are ready, truly ready, go into the light. Say who you are, mean it, accept it, then you will be ready."
"And if I fail?"
"Then you fail." she said with a smile, "Life is not a guarantee Rey. You must make the most of it, make the most of every opportunity. You could fail, but I have faith in you, I believe you'll succeed. Both of us always knew you'd be great one day."
They looked at each other and smiled, with a hand from his mother he got up. With silent acknowledgement he went forward and stood in the light.
He didn't feel any different, but at first he knew he wouldn't. Rey closed, his eyes, pushed all other thoughts out of his mind, and felt himself dig deep into his mind. He felt the presence of the other beings that called it home, and one that he had shut out for so long.
With acceptance, he reached out to the presence and asked it to become one with them. A surge of energy filled him up, and he felt himself returning to his body.
A man appeared next to his mother, it was his father, "You think you did it?"
"Yes." she replied with a knowing smile, "I think he'll be fine from now on."
"That's my boy."
Rey felt himself being righted up. he now stood flat on the ground on the island. Only seconds seemed to have passed from the apparent "death blow", for the dragon hadn't moved far from where it was before. It roared as it saw him get up and unleashed a vicious flamethrower. Rey simply raised a hand and the fire dissipated.
"You think I am afraid of you?" Rey asked him, "I have faced greater, seen things more powerful than you, I am not afraid."
Matrogan roared once more, Rey remained unmoved.
"I will stop you, then I will save you, then I will save this world. Wanna know why? Because my name is Rey...and I am the Avatar!"
Like a switch, he felt the power of the past lives of Avatar's past fill him up. He could see them all appear before him before infusing him with power. The last to show up was Korra, she gave him a wink and a thumbs up before fusing with him. His newfound power was astonishing. He felt more connected to the elements than ever before. This was the true power of the Avatar State.
He charged Matrogan, the dragon swiped at him with his claws. Rey moved a giant chunk of the island and blocked the attack, then threw the earth at the dragons head. When he dodged it, Rey grabbed it again and pulled it back, this time hitting the mark. Knowing it was best to end this quickly, he used his powers to summon forth the lava from the volcano, he raised it high and then flung it at the dragon.
Matrogan dodged it, but Rey made the lava follow him like a snake chasing a mouse. The dragon decided to take the fight to Rey, but he was ready, and as soon as he was close he blasted the black dragon with the biggest gust of air he had ever summoned before. The dragon now caught in the wall of air, Rey then hit him with the lava and Matrogan roared as he fell to the ground in pain.
Not done yet, Rey again channeled his power and raised a massive tidal wave from the ocean, and sent it careening into Matrogan. As the water met the lava it formed hard rock, the dragon was pinned to the island.
Rey lowered himself and went to the head of Matrogan and touched it. It was then that Rey knew the truth, if he hadn't been able to go into the Avatar State, Matrogan couldn't have been saved. The corruption sank deep into the spirits being, only with the power of all the Avatars could he be saved.
Channeling his power, Rey focused and slowly proceeded to wipe out all the corruption from the spirit's system. After some deep concentration and purification, he could feel his work being completed.
Returning to his regular form he saw the black dragon begin to glow once more. He began reverting to his regular form, a form that was smaller than the last two, but still very impressive. Again the crimson dragon that he was before, Matrogan gave a final roar, but this time it was a roar of freedom.
"Thank you Rey, my Avatar." said Matrogan bowing to him, "My freedom will bring peace to this area, those who lived here can come home once again. They owe it all to you."
"I just wish it hadn't come at a high price." he said sadly
"You mean your friends? Look behind you."
Rey turned around to see a spirit portal opened up, from it, Ena, Raya, and Swift all appeared. Overjoyed Rey ran to them and hugged them all.
"How are you alive?"
"I think Swift had something to do with it." said Raya
"I was able to free us at the last minute, the very last minute. But because of Matrogan we couldn't return to help you out. We were trapped until you won." said Swift with a smile
"Which, no offense, wasn't looking likely at points." admitted Ena
"Uh yeah, it's true. I'll explain what all happened later, but right now we have business to tend to." Rey replied, then turned to Matrogan, "What seems like a lifetime ago, Swift and the other spirits made a deal. If I freed all of the captured spirits from the seals you would help me in the final battle. It's coming, closer than some might think. Will you all stand with me?"
The dragon went deep into thought, it was not an easy answer, "I will stand with you Rey, as will many. But to truly win this battle you will need us all. I cannot guarantee that all will come, mainly because not all agreed to this promise. There may be a need for you to come and make your case before us, in our world. Would you be willing to do that?"
"Yes." he replied without hesitation
"Good. I have one last piece of advice before I leave. You cannot win this on your own as you know, but the allies you have are not enough, you need more of your kind to join you."
"How will I get them to join me? Many don't know me, and only hear what The Conspiracy feeds them. How can I counter that?"
"Across the ocean, in the nearby peninsula, is a prison. There is a man there who will know what to do. You will not like him, but he can be of service if you use him well."
"I will go there next. Thank you."
"No Avatar, thank you."
"Please Matrogan, one more thing. I implore you to ask your brethren to stop the attacks. Just for now. Let me have a chance to stop this. We're so close to ending this, but we can't garner support if the attacks continue."
"I will do what I can."
With a bow, Matrogan flew into the air and opened a portal and returned home. Rey watched him leave then turned to the others smiling.
Raya saw this and looked at him in disbelief, "What are you so happy about?"
"Well," replied Rey happily, "I have the Avatar State, all the spirits are freed, and we may get more allies soon."
"So?" wondered Ena
"For the first time in a long time, I actually think we can win this thing."

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opens on Jan. 8, and despite the usual noise and hoopla that comes bundled with Las Vegas trade shows, we actually expect to report on some noteworthy announcements coming out of the show that may affect unified communications and collaboration. At the top of our information shopping list: "When (if ever) will the tablet computer replace the laptop?"
While most would agree that the smartphone and laptop are both critical for enterprise mobility and unified communications deployments, we're not sure the same can be said about the tablet computer. We think there are three big roadblocks that must first be overcome before users can abandon their laptops, including: a) suitable document management, b) a suite of public cloud services that fully enable a tablet, and c) apps that are designed with the tablet in mind.
CES 2013: Products to watch for
When it comes to a suitable document management package, we are optimistic that the latest operating system releases from Microsoft will make using a tablet as easy for the business as the PC or laptop -- so we'll be looking over the latest tablets using a Microsoft platform to see if this in the case.
As for cloud services, we know that private clouds provide good support for most mission critical business applications, while public cloud offers are fine for unified communications apps. However, we contend that these cloud services and apps were optimized for users with a PC or a smartphone -- and not a tablet.
Perhaps the acid test of tablet integration into business process will not be found at CES, but we hope to see some glimmers of further progress. More likely, one day we will know that the tablet is mission critical when we see air travelers pull out their tablet for work -- and not just to watch a video they brought from home.
In the meantime, we'll keep our eyes and ears open at this year's CES and report back to our readers with what we find.

In a fine gesture towards youth sailing and the potential of young Tasmanian sailors, all five Farr 40s owners added a 'mini-crew' to their normal crew for the RYCT/DSS Twilights on Thurday evening. In total, 45 young sailors joined the adult crews aboard the Farr 40s.
Later the owners shouted the youngsters a barbeque and soft drinks back on the waterfront lawn of the Derwent Sailing Club, which organised the event.
'They are the potential crews and perhaps, ultimately, the skippers of Hobart's top racing yachts and, we hope, specifically, the Farr 40s,' Tasmanian Farr 40 Owners Association Wayne Banks-Smith said after taking a 'mini-crew' aboard War Games.
War Games was joined by the other Farr 40s that race on the River Derwent, Craig Clifford's POW, Hughie Lewis' Tilford Auto Group, Lloyd Clark and Andrew Hunn's Voodoo Chile and Stephen Boyes' Wired.
'Not only is this a reward for their own performances over the past season, but it gives them a wonderful experience in sailing on a big, high performance racing yacht,' Banks-Smith added.
'In fact, it was an exhilarating evening for them as War Games finished first in fleet and won Division 1 on handicap.
'For my crew, it was a great pleasure to have such enthusiastic young sailors aboard for the race.'
The Farr 40 class is expecting a boost in interest next season with further interstate regattas being planned for Hobart following the inaugural Tasmanian championship last January and the fine performances of Voodoo Chile at the recent NSW and Australian championships in Sydney.
Today will see the final Combined Clubs Long Race of the summer season with a fleet of up to 50 boats expected to start in a 30-40 nautical mile race, conducted by Bellerive Yacht Club.
