Hi! > I could make a release on Friday, Monday or Tuesday if > the problems are fixed by then. Let me introduce some useful idea about making new releases. You can do one stable branch like "2.0.2" and severa bugfixes branches like "126.96.36.199" and apply only bugfixes there. If two day passed since last bugfix and no one finds problems about it, when it's time for "2.0.2.x". This way you can improve stability. Look at this cite: ****** Cocoon does not work properly on the RaQ4i server. It crashes the Tomcat server which in turns crashes the Apache server. There are Cobalt customised automated Tomcat scripts on the server to take into consideration. ****** I don't know that version of cocoon/tomcat (and that scripts) that guy was talking about, but (weekly?) bugfix releases might help with such things much better than new releases filled with new features and bugs just once in a month or two. Code freeze doesn't help enough as we've seen.

Why See Circus 1903 - The Golden Age of Circus?
Roll Up Roll Up!
Step back in time to the golden age of the circus with this mind-blowing new spectacular! Touring China and Europe before arriving in North America in 2017, Circus 1903 resurrects the Big Top to its former glory, packing the ring with acrobats, jugglers, clowns and a wondrous, life size puppet of an African Elephant. All of the performers are dressed in the finest retro costumes and presiding over proceedings is a mustachioed ringmaster with a top hat and a mischievous glint in his eye.
Circus 1903 is a collaboration between the producers of the world's best-selling touring magic show The Illusionists, and Significant Objects, the company which created the puppets for theatrical smash War Horse.
What to expect
The finest circus performers from across the globe will thrill you with daring acts of death-defying bravery, but Circus 1903 isn't just a roll-call of incredible acts - it's a full theatrical experience! Significant Objects have spent months designing their next generation of animal puppets, who will be brought to life performing alongside their human counterparts. A circus experience which is simultaneously a nostalgic throwback and a revolution of the form, Circus 1903 has to be seen to be believed! It plays Mortensen Hall - Bushnell Theatre in Hartford, CT , Closed April 30, 2017
Did You Know?
Everyone knows them as tight-rope walkers, but the technical term for those daring acrobats that perilously balance on a taut rope high above the ground is a 'funambulist'!

Artist: Carleton E. Watkins (American, 1829–1916)
Date: 1867
Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative
Dimensions: 40.0 x 52.4 cm (15 3/4 x 20 5/8 in.)
Classification: Photographs
Credit Line: Warner Communications Inc. Purchase Fund and Harris Brisbane Dick Fund, 1979
Accession Number: 1979.622
Beginning in the 1850s, photographers found a way to achieve the clarity of daguerreotypes without giving up the reproducibility inherent in William Henry Fox Talbot's negative/positive photographic process: they replaced the paper negative with glass, which they coated with a thin layer of wet photosensitive collodion (guncotton dissolved in ether). For large-format landscape work such as Watkins produced along the Columbia River in Oregon, the physical demands of this process were great. Since there was as yet no practical means of enlarging, Watkins's glass negatives had to be as large as he wished the prints to be, and his camera large enough to accommodate them. Furthermore, the glass negatives had to be coated, exposed, and developed while the collodion remained tacky, requiring the photographer to transport a traveling darkroom as he explored the virgin terrain of the American West. The crystalline clarity and classic probity of Watkins's remarkable "mammoth" prints attest to his virtuosic mastery of the process and his consummate artistry.

Kourtney Kardashian is done with Scott Disick. The eldest Kardashian sister is not going to get back to Scott Disick a week after she split with her long time partner.
Scott and Kourtney's 9 years relationship ended on an ugly note after his month long partying went hard and he ended up getting cosy with his alleged girlfriend, Chloe Bartoli in Monte Carlo.
Pictures of Lord Disick getting close to Chloe during his trip to Monte Carlo went viral on social media and since then, Kourtney split with him over the the Fourth of July weekend.
Amid reports that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is rekindling romance with Scott Disick, a source told E! News that these tabloid reports are false and she is not getting back to him.
The insider told E! News that the parents to Mason, 5, Penelope, 3 and Reign, 6 months, are not getting back as Kourtney is not even in a mood to look at him. Lord Disick on the other side has been reportedly not allowed inside Kourtney's property and he is reportedly in New York City with no plans to return to LA for now.
Lord Disick is scheduled to attend an event at Harrah's Pool After Dark in Atlantic City this weekend. He also missed his daughter, Penelope's 3rd birthday celebrations which was celebrated at Disneyland with Kourtney's family members including Kim, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble, Mason Disick and North West.
He just shared a collage of his daughter writing, "1 of the only things I'm proud off about myself. Happybdayp." While both are staying mum after the cheating scandal shook the media, Scott is busy with his party appearances and Kourtney is getting support from family to overcome the break up.

Manitok Energy Inc. has drilled a horizontal well at 3-9-23-25W4, testing the lower Basal Quartz (BQ) formation in the southern end of the Entice field. This is the third well of a planned 10 well horizontal drilling program at Entice where Manitok has a 100% working interest.
A multi-stage fracture completion was successfully executed, and after an initial clean out stage, the well began flowing on its own. During the production test, the well flowed for a total of 2.9 days at an average rate of 177 bbls/d of 27° API oil and 1.14 Mmcf/d of natural gas for a total rate of 367 boe/d. The cost to drill and complete the well was approximately $2.7 million.
The results from the above-noted well and the previously announced 3-28-22-25W4 well, provides Manitok with a significant number of development locations in both the middle and lower BQ formations at the south end of its Entice lands.

The Military of Santiago is primarily composed of the country's Defense Forces (Spanish: Fuerza de Defensa Santiagana, FDS), though the country's Department of National Intelligence is also occasionally considered a military or paramilitary organization.
The Army was officially established by Santiago's first constitution in 1901, while the Navy was first established as a separate entity in 1919. Santiago has utilized military aviation since 1919, but a separate Air Force was not established until 1965. The Policía Nacional, which developed into the Department of National Intelligence, was founded in 1907.
Early years
Santiago's military was initially composed only of the Army, which also handled Naval warfare. In 1901, most of the country's soldiers were former civilian combatants of the Berkner Land War; while others were former members of the official militaries of the four countries which had occupied the area, such as Francisco Bodega, who later became President.
For the first few years of its existence, the Army's equipment was highly irregular, as it had no external suppliers. Soldiers used any weapons they could acquire — often hunting shotguns and outdated rifles and revolvers. In 1902, Lionel Parker, the Army's first General, purchased dozens of American-made Winchester Model 1876 rifles (then almost 30 years old) on the basis that they were used by the Canadian North-West Mounted Police in the Yukon, who operated in a similar role to the Santiagan Army, and in similar conditions. The Winchester '76 was the Army's standard personal weapon until after World War I, when Emilio Tejada began to replace them with Lee-Enfields purchased from Grahamland.
Parker also standardised the Army's side-arms in 1904, with the purchase of many Smith & Wesson Schofield Revolvers, another American-made weapon used by the Canadian Mounties. Many of these revolvers had been used by the US Army during the Spanish–American War; the United States was in the process of replacing their Schofields with more modern handguns. Smith & Wesson sent Parker a custom-made pearl-handled pistol in gratitude for opening business with the Santiagan Government, and upon his return to the United States in 1905, he was made a member of the company's Board of Directors.
Initially, the Santiagan Army were primarily a glorified police force, as Santiago was not involved in any external conflicts, and the country's regular police forces were poorly organized at that time. In the eastern frontier of Santiago, the Army was engaged in a significant conflict against local AIPs, known as the Kaiws Wars.
World Wars
In World War I, the Army mustered a force of almost 10 000 men, who became the first Santiagan troops ever to be involved in an international war. Other than a few raids on nearby Russian Colonies, Santiago's troops in World War I were mostly confined to border defense, as the opposing forces were far larger than the small Santiagan Army.
The Winter Uprising of 1915 was caused by a splinter faction of the Army attempting to remove the current government; which resulted in a five-month civil war between the opposing factions of the military. Ultimately the rebels were victorious, and their commander, Colonel Francisco Bodega was installed as President.
As a military figure, Bodega did much to develop the Santiagan Army, and pushed for the creation of a Navy which was independent of the Army. This goal was achieved in 1919, and gave the Navy the responsibility of regulating customs in port cities and coastal towns. Also in 1919, Santiago purchased its first military aircraft, and the Army Aviation division was founded.
The wars with the Kaiws continued into the 1920s, but on smaller scale, and after 1907, much of the fighting was done by the Policía Nacional rather than the Military. Santiago also saw a brief involvement in the Russian Civil War as Communist and Anarchist revolutionaries attempted to establish bases in Santiagan territory, outside the jurisdiction of Russian authorities.
In 1939, Santiago became involved in a war with Bellinsgauzenia and with World War II – two conflicts which were closely linked. During the war with Bellinsgauzenia, Santiagan troops fought extensively alongside Chilean troops. This was the first time Santiago had coordinated a significant campaign with foreign troops. Santiago also played a part in the post-war occupation of New Swabia, increasing the military's cooperation with allied forces.
Recent history
After negotiating peace with Bellinsgauzenia in early 1942, Santiago entered an era of peace lasting over 30 years, during which time the national Air Force was created from the Army Aviation and Naval Aviation units. Through the 1950s and 60s, the military also had limited involvement in combatting Santiago's organized crime syndicates; but this task was primarily the responsibility of the Department of National Intelligence.
The South Pacific War of 1974 was the next international conflict Santiago faced, when the military mounted an assault on Chile with the goal of removing Augusto Pinochet's government. Despite support from rebel groups within Chile, the Santiagan troops were unsuccessful, and were repelled from the country after five months of conflict. This war was controversial in Santiago and unpopular among the armed forces, who considered the Chilean military to be a close ally. General Guillermo Montemayor, widely considered one of Santiago's greatest military leaders, was dismissed from his position due to his criticism of the government during the war.
A few years later, Santiagan troops were again deployed in another controversial war, the South Atlantic War.
Santiagan ships have the prefix "ARS", which stands for "Armada de la República Santiagana", or "Navy of the Santiagan Republic". Initially, ships were named for virtues or qualities (Heroico, Dorado and Justo translate as "Heroic", "Golden" and "Fair", respectively); but since the 1960s, Santiagan ships have all been named after prominent figures in the country's history – two Presidents (José Guerrero and Miguel Suárez), a General (Ulises Chavarría) and an Admiral (Salvador Ibarra).
The Navy of Santiago currently operates four capital ships, in addition to the now-retired former flagship ARS Heroico. Only one capital ship of the Santiagan Navy has ever been built in Santiago – the ARS Almirante Ibarra, which was launched in San Martín in 1967.
Current vessels:
- ARS Almirante Ibarra, frigate.

Are 2013Blues a better team than 2012Blues?

What a question!!! Of course, this team is better than last year's. Tarasenko is a player that can create goals on his own. That means that The Blues can score even when facing a super-hot goaltender and a smothering defence. In addition, Backes, Berglund, Perron, Oshie, Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk are all one year more experienced, and progressing well, and seem to be playing with more poise and confidence than last season. Schwartz is another quality addition, replacing a player with much less 2-way talent. In addition, Cole should play better than last year, and better than the marginal defencemen whose minutes he'll be replacing.
Also, ALL players will be integrated into Hitch's system, and those from last season will be a LOT more used to it and comfortable in it. AND, Stewart had a very poor season last year, and he's playing a lot better. He should be able to keep up this play all season.
The Blues should be significantly tougher in this season's playoffs, after doing a similar job in the regular season, to what they did last season.

The concept of a'Tha was a Vulcan belief that could mean Immanence in the Human language. It covered the concept of a direct experience with the guiding force that governs the universe itself. Vulcans believe that they are in direct and constant encounter with this presence in various degrees; as such it is interpreted differently by many Vulcans.
It is believed to have been the oldest Vulcan word and the first ever written. In terms of effect, it was similar to the concept of God to other races. (TOS novel: Spock's World)

Ibusuki in Kagoshima Prefecture is known for its volcanic sand baths (砂むし).
About 10 minutes walk south from Ibusuki Station, the Saraku Sand Bath Hall or Sunamushi Kaikan Saraku is the biggest sand bath facility in the area. Here the sand on the beach is infused with hot water from deep underground.
After taking off all your clothes and donning a yukata, you are buried in the sand by an attendant. 10 minutes is the recommended limit before you push yourself out and walk back to the Saraku Sand Bath Hall to shower and take a water hot bath and sauna if you so desire.
The sand bath in central Ibusuki is not the only one in the area. There is another smaller sand bath, Yamakawa Sand Bath on the beach near the large Healthy Land spa and Flower Park Kagoshima.
The procedure is the same but this sand bath had some delicious onsen tamago and onsen-steamed potatoes to enjoy after your sand burial.
Climbing up the cliffs behind Yamakawa Onsen are good views along the coast to Kaimondake (Satsuma Fuji.)
Sand baths are supposedly more effectively than normal onsen in the healing process. Sand baths are said to be good for rheumatism, lumbago and neuralgia.

what is the difference between a pellet smoker and a charcoal smoker . Can you burn charcoal in a pellet smoker ?
what is the difference between a pellet smoker and a charcoal smoker . Can you burn charcoal in a pellet smoker ?
Pellet grills/smokers burn hardwood pellets for heat, and to some degree, flavoring of the food. They burn a small, hot fire with their pellet fuel, but charcoal cannot be used to fire them, unless it were broken-down in size (approx. 1/4"-5/16" diameter)...feeding issues and erratic temperature control would likely result. A charcoal smoker uses charcoal briquettes or hardwood lump charcoal for heat. With both, you can add smoke woods for smoke flavor. Many use a smoke generator of some sort for their pellet smokers, but I'm sure you can achieve smoke from them without the use of a smoke device. With charcoal smokers you simply add smoke wood chunks near or among the briquettes for smoke flavor.
I would suggest you find a source for pellet fuel, briqs and lump, then do price comparisons over charcoal briqs or lump...you'll need to know about how many lbs of fuel per hour will be used with the pellet smoker vs a comparable charcoal smoker...that is if a budget is of concern...if fuel cost is not an issue, then disregard. I would research for common problems with the pellet smoker, though...some can have problems with reliability, as they are an electrically controlled/operated device.
Hope this helps you to pick your poison...uh, I mean...smoking toy...err, um...cooker...LOL!!!

Leon Powe's Player Mailbox
Powe is widely recognized as one of the team's true tough guys, but also as one of its most laid-back and low-maintenance players.
In this week's Player Mailbox, Powe reveals what he listens to pregame, what rehab's been like and, of course, his former squad, the Boston Celtics …
Comments: What was the hardest part of going through the rehab for your knee?
First Name: Kevin
City: Strongsville
State: Ohio
Leon Powe: Sitting out and watching games and just the slow, grueling part of doing the rehab. And for a while, you can't do the things you could do before you got hurt. That was really frustrating for me, but I just had to stay mentally focused and get through my rehab.
I couldn't walk for almost the first month. And after the first month, I couldn't really do anything on it but try to build the knee up, strength-wise. I didn't pick up a ball probably for another two months. And that was just to pick it up and just shoot.
It's physically frustrating, and you can find yourself getting mentally frustrated too.
Comments: Is there a lot of trash talking in the NBA? What teams do you think are the worst?
First Name: Dave
City: Cleveland
State: Ohio
Powe: I know how my old team is. Everybody trash talks in this league and Boston is Number 1. It's definitely Boston.
When I was there, they would talk a lot of trash to everybody. It's just because we were winning and could back it up. And when you're winning, you talk a lot of trash. The best thing you can do about that is just to go out there and beat them.
Personally, I don't talk too much, unless someone is starting to (tick) me off. Otherwise, I try to concentrate on what I'm trying to do.
Comments: Leon, have you ever shattered a backboard with a dunk?
First Name: Dave
City: Akron
State: Ohio
Powe: No, I tried a couple times. I wanted to so bad! I think I loosened it up for my teammate. He dunked the ball and shattered the backboard right after me!
I was so mad! I don't even want to think about it – I'm still (ticked) off!
Comments: Which is your favorite music and food before the game? Does the music help to concentrate or relax before for the game?
First Name: Ilir
City: Gjilan
State: Republic of Kosovo
Powe: I'll listen to all up-tempo music, but there's one particular song in there for my mom, who passed away. And I listen to that before every game. It's the classic Tupac song: "Dear Mama."
I try to listen to that to calm myself down and then I go out there and just get focused.
Comments: Is KG really the complete lunatic psychopath that he appears to be on the court, or is he actually a sane human being? What's he like off the court?
First Name: Jay
City: Fairfield
State: Connecticut
Powe: He's really a sane human being.
On the court, he thinks he transforms into something – you know, like the Incredible Hulk transforms. He thinks he transforms like that on the court. But that's good. That's how he gets his energy up and gets his intensity up, too. He tries to psych people out, too. Sometimes, he'll scare the young fellas. You really can't scare the old vets.
But he's a good guy off the court.
Comments: What do you miss most from life in the Bay Area?
First Name: Keshav
City: Cupertino
State: California
Powe: Just having fun with my family and friends. Being on the East Coast, I don't get to see them much unless I fly them out here. And that's only for like a week. Just having fun – seeing my brothers and sisters and doing stuff as a family.
Comments: Why did you choose number 44, is there anything that is important about that or was it just a random number?
First Name: Mohammad
City: Mentor
State: Ohio
Powe: I actually wear it because of Ice Man back in the day. Me and my brother both had posters of him – the one on the ice throne and the finger roll. I used to always finger roll back in the day, until I realized I could jump. Then I started dunking the ball.
But I still go with 44 because of the Ice Man – George Gervin.
Comments: Were you a Warriors fan growing up? If not, which team did you root for?
First Name: Michael
City: San Jose
State: California
Powe: I rooted a little bit for the Warriors. I'd go to some of their games and I wanted them to win.
But I was always a Sacramento Kings fan. They were exciting. And Chris Webber used to give me tickets and I go see him, go holler at him when I was young. I really looked up to Chris Webber when I was younger.
Comments: What accomplishment are you most proud of off the court?
First Name: Dan
City: Cambridge
State: Ohio
Powe: For me, just being a good person – handling my business in the right way. I don't get in any trouble.
On and off the court, I try to be the consummate professional. That's the only thing I can ask from myself, and that makes me proud.

Duba was the name an African tribe used for the Nandi bear.
The Fourth Doctor called it a "legendary" bear. The Doctor promised to hunt the duba for the tribe after Mposi was killed. Instead, he and his companions escaped, and the tribe killed their chief for helping them escape. After the tribe and the TARDIS left the scene, a duba approached the chief's dead body. (PROSE: To Kill a Nandi Bear)

Cap guns are fun, but shooting one off won't likely live up to nostalgic childhood memories. The bang is far less scary than we remember. Step up the impact: create some serious explosive fun with 100,000 caps.
This simple yet puerile instructional from our favorite punks at ShootingEggs is a two step process. First, roll up a ball of caps to about the size of a softball. Last, place it on a post and shoot the ball with a BB gun.
This is gobs more gratifying than hitting beer cans with a pellet rifle.

John Maron (Arabic: يوحنا مارون, died 707) was the first Maronite Patriarch. He is revered as a saint by the Catholic Church, and celebrated on March 2.
Early life
John Maron was the son of Agathon, the governor of Sarum and Anohamia, grandson of prince Alidipas, who governed Antioch. He was educated in Antioch and the monastery of Saint Maron studying mathematics, sciences, philosophy, theology, philology and scripture. He became a monk at the monastery of Saint Maron, adding the name Maron to this own.
John studied Greek and patrology in Constantinople. Returning to Saint Maron's, he wrote on such diverse topics as teaching, rhetoric, the sacraments, management of Church property, legislative techniques, and liturgy. He composed the Eucharistic Prayer which still bears his name. Noted teacher and preacher, he explained Catholic dogma of the Council of Chalcedon (which focused on the nature of Jesus as both God and human), wrote a series of letters to the faithful against Monophysitism and Monothelitism, and then travelled Syria to explain the heresy.
Bishop in 676, assigned to Mount Lebanon with a mission to oppose heresies, keep the Maronites united with the Church, and support the faithful in an area being invaded by Arabs. He travelled extensively in the areas involved in combat, preaching, conducting Mass, tending to the sick, and sheltering the homeless. It was during this terrible period that he was given the gift of healing, curing many praying over them.
The first Maronite Patriarch
The Maronites made up the bulk of the Maradite army, the so-called "Brass Wall" that shielded Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire from Arab expansion. In 685 the Maradites used their power and importance to choose John Maron, one of their own, as Patriarch of Antioch and all the East. John received the approval of Pope Sergius I, and became the first Maronite Patriarch of the oldest see in Christianity.
The Byzantine emperor Justinian II feared the growing power of the Maradite army, and was angered that his approval had not been sought for the appointment of John as Patriarch. He sent his army to defeat the Maradites and capture John. They managed to win battles against the Maradites, overrun Antioch, and destroy the monastery there, killing 500 monks in the process. John, however, escaped to Lebanon. When Justinian's army followed, the Maradites, under the leadership of John's nephew Ibrahim, defeated them decisively, sending them home empty-handed. John then founded the monastery of Reesh Moran (head of our Lord) in Kefer Hay, Lebanon, and moved his see to Mount Lebanon. The Maradites sealed themselves off from the outside, and founded their own national and religious identity, though still part of the Catholic Church, with John seen as one of their great founders.

Pratt & Whitney Canada said yesterday it planned to lay off 1,000 workers in the coming months, due mainly to falling demand for the engines it supplies to business jet makers. The cuts will affect some 10 percent of the company's global workforce, 7,000 of whom work in Canada and the remaining 3,000 in other countries. The company hasn't yet exactly identified which factories the decision will affect most, a spokesman told AIN, nor has it decided on an exact date for when the layoffs will start, only that they would happen "a few months from now." He did confirm that the overwhelming majority, if not all, of the cuts will involve jobs tied to business jet engine programs, however. "We are still…talking to our business aviation customers around the world and going through a full assessment before we can determine how it will unfold at each of our facilities around the world," he said. "By the way, as it stands today, the other segments that we're involved in such as helicopters, regional aviation and general aviation for the smaller aircraft are still going relatively well."

Randy Shannon Unfiltered - Part II
There has been an ongoing arms race when it comes to facilities that schools are constantly improving on, and the reality of the situation is that UM's a small private school that's being left behind in this facilities battle in many aspects. What's the most important thing the football program needs money for?
"The biggest thing we're doing right now is raising money to improve the offices. By May or June (the football offices) will be changed around. The furniture will come in, so will new electronic equipment. A couple of offices will be redone, rebuilt, restructured. Those are things that need to be done as far as football and that's inevitable. We're getting that done, and I want it to be done before May. We've got the money for it, we've raised it and everything is going in the right direction. We're working on the contracts right now to get it done. I'm not even worried about that. Football will be O.K. The (fund-raising sprint) is for UM's entire athletic department. We have to make sure that the academic department gets done (expanded), the training room gets done (expanded) to serve ALL of our sports teams. Those are things we desperately need to upgrade."
Why has the school outgrown it's resources and fallen so behind?
"We're not a state school, we're a private institution. Everyone always says, 'Well, the ex-football players should be doing it.' The ex-football are donating money back, and they always have. But right now we need other supporters to help out. I'm talking about the people who say they are part of this university, they cheer us on at every opportunity, but are they going to give their money to improve the schools academic department, or to enhance our training department? If you get those two things (which are part of the Hecht Center expansion) done I believe this University can compete facilities-wise with any team in the country. We won't have many frills but we'll have the meat and potatoes and that's what it's all about."
When you put this coaching staff together you talked about creating staff harmony, alleviating the cliques that previously existed. What makes you confident you've achieved that?
"Those guys go out as one. One guy on offense will go out with another guy from defense. Two defensive guys will go out with two offensive guys. The offensive guys will pick up a defensive guy from the airport who is coming in, and vice versa. Everybody has joined in and are now saying we are a family. We're going to do what it takes and I believe in that. We sit around the table and everyone is mixed up and mingling just like we want from this team. They are talking and communicating and that's what it's all about."
Not everyone understands what it takes to be a Miami Hurricane, and that includes some present players. What type of ex-player do you hold up and say: 'This is the type of player and person I hope the players can emulate.'
"I never tell those guys they need to be like such and such. I think they just need to have the standards and understanding of what Miami's all about. This is what Miami's about. As a player, I played three positions for the team. I played strong (linebacker), weak and middle. The one year I started it was because Winston Moss got suspended for the first game. The next game I was on the bench, but because I played both sides I played a lot in the game and NEVER complained. If we were always fresh, me, Winston and Rob Carter were always going to be good on the field. Edgerrin James said it perfectly to me the other day after watching some of practice. He said, 'My nephew isn't the best back right now. (Graig) Cooper is the best back right now and you should play Cooper.' This is a guy talking about his nephew should be a backup. That's what Miami is about! It doesn't make a difference who it is, play the best players and find a way to make them effective. But in turn, Javarris (James) says, 'My job is to make sure Cooper knows enough to beat me out, but I've also got to be the best that I can be to keep Cooper on the bench.' That's the mentality we need to have. In turn, if we've got two guys that are equal we're going to wear people down. That's how it's SUPPOSED to be! It shouldn't be a deal where, 'I'm the starter, I'm not worried about anybody. This is my spot.' That ain't Miami! Miami's about making sure that everybody is a part of it because if somebody gets nicked the next guy has to step up and not miss a beat. That's what we're used to, and what we'll have again."
It seems like the only player I'm hearing about this spring is Graig Cooper. Is he standing out that much?
"He's been doing a nice job of running the football and protecting (pass blocking). What's great about it, realistically he's been stepping up, but all of [the backs] have been stepping it up because of the competition. They know it's not going to be a deal where there are five or six running backs traveling on the squad. If you're in the to deep, or a three deep guy and you don't play on special teams you won't be able to travel, so everybody is starting to pick it up. The competition's there."
While you are all about competition, you have a history of leaning on your veterans on defense and people don't really understand your philosophy of putting more on the older players. Can you explain your theory on why a guy like Glenn Cook, whose not as athletically blessed as some of your other linebackers, is expected to play more and do more than those other guys?
"I expect Glenn Cook to know every position on the football team right now to the point I can plug him in anywhere on the field and he BETTER do good! He's been around long enough. Last year Chavez Grant played one position because he was a young guy. He was the nickel cornerback because he was a young guy, a freshman. This year he's got to play two positions. It's time to step it up a bit. He knows his role is being stepped up and he's doing a great job. With younger guys you identify a role for them and challenge them to get it done. But the older guys have to venture out. When the injuries happen move the older guy. Let the young guy stay in his comfort zone because that's all he knows. I think that's what you have to do as a coach, make sure the older guys know more because if something happens keep the younger guy simple and put the pressure on the older guy."
I hope that gives U a better understanding into Boss Cane.
Come back this weekend to updates and observations from Friday and Saturday's practice.

Khalil Jones Q&A
[pic - click to view]
Q: What's your take on how the receivers are performing so far this spring?
Jones: We're doing a good job of challenging each other to perform. Our expectations are high because we feel we're a veteran group now and we feel like nothing needs to be said, it just all needs to be done on the field. I know as far as me, I expect a top performance from myself and I'm really challenging myself.
Q: What are you working on most right now?
Jones: Me coming from high school, catching was something I had to work on a lot. I feel like now it's really easy. When coach (Curtis) Johnson was here he told me all catching was was repetition the more you catch, the better you get. So I made sure I caught as many balls as I could every day, and I'm still doing it. I just feel like right now I'm ready to put everything together as far as getting prepared for the season.
Q: How many catches do you have in 11 on 11 so far this spring?
Jones: Three. I'm just working to get open. If I feel I'm open I did my job, if I block I did my job. I know when the season comes around I'll get looks. Right now it's about beating the man in front of me.
Q: Who is the toughest cornerback for you to go up against in practice?
Jones: Glenn Sharpe. He's an older guy, a guy that started his first year in the national championship. He's an all-around cornerback, can do pretty much everything. He's fast and physical, he gives you different looks. He pretty much knows what he's doing.
Q: The offense has made some big plays this spring, which is something that didn't happen much the last few years in spring practices. Is the offense doing better than expected at this point?
Jones: We're doing very well. I think coach (Patrick) Nix and the rest of the offensive coaches are doing a good job at each position. We're learning our plays, are working in synch with each other. But we still have a long way to go. Against our defense over the past years they have always been the dominant team, so it's good to get a change around. We have a long way to go, but we know beating our defense is a good thing because we know that's the No. 1 defense we're going to play against the rest of the season.
Q: With four scholarship receivers competing right now, are you guys basically being run ragged in practices?
Jones: We have walkons. We're getting a lot of work, but that's normal for spring. Someone always goes down, so you always get a lot of reps in the spring. You want the reps, but it does wear on your body I know I get in the ice tub every day.
Q: What is the biggest difference with Randy Shannon as head coach?
Jones: Mindset. I think he brings that defensive mentality, that relentlessness, that discipline, that accountability. He brings everything to the table and really challenges you as a player to give it all you've got. And with quick anticipation right now, it's not tomorrow. It's do your best today. He can be hard on you, but he also understands that not everything is going to be perfect. He's an all-around guy and I love playing for him.

Q: How was practice today?
Shannon: We worked on a lot of two minute, situational stuff that can happen in a game. We had a two minute situation where we had to score a touchdown and a two minute situation where we had to score a field goal. We got a lot of third down work in also.
Q: So did you score in the two minute drill?
Shannon: I don't remember. You get amnesia as a coach sometimes.
Q: There's a scrimmage open to the public tomorrow at 10 a.m. on Greentree Practice Field. What will the format be?
Shannon: Ones against ones, twos against twos, special teams, ones against ones, twos against twos. We'll have another two-minute drill full speed live, which now we can see if they can tackle when they're tired. We'll get a lot of work done tomorrow.
Q: How much of the offense will the fans see?
Shannon: I don't even know. It's like this: Everybody runs the same offense. I mean, come on now. Everyone thinks you're running this, that. A zone is a zone. A power is a power. A quarterback keep is a quarterback keep. A fade route is a fade route. A screen is a screen. It's just what formations you do them out of. So don't think everybody's inventing this new offense.
Q: How many plays will you run?
Shannon: I don't know. It depends on numbers. We'll just go till we can't go any more.
Q: Who will get the first team snaps Kyle Wright or Kirby Freeman?
Shannon: We don't know. We don't have a first team.
Q: Do you still expect Darnell Jenkins back at some point?
Shannon: Yes. He has his family situation right now. He won't be back until after spring football, until the fall. When you have problems with family, those are serious issues. You have to make sure you're delicate with them.
Q: With the quarterbacks, what have you seen from them?
Shannon: You know, the one thing that was real positive today, we had the two minute drill, they didn't take a sack. They threw it away. A screen was stopped, just throw it in the ground. Those are things they improved of off the past. A couple of times we got to the 30 on the two-minute drill, which is good when you start at the 20.
Q: What would you like Javarris James to improve on from last year?
Shannon: Improve his overall game. If Javarris doesn't improve we'll play the next guy. It's up to him to keep moving his game up protection-wise, running skills and what he has to do.
Q: What have you seen from Antonio Dixon?
Shannon: A big guy that pushes the pocket. He's maturing more mentally and physically. People have to realize Dixon, really his first year playing was last year. He's improved a lot, is having fun now.
Q: How is his conditioning?
Shannon: He's fine right now.
Q: What is the importance of the SPRINT fundraising campaign?
Shannon: You're trying to raise money that state schools that me you and everybody pays for. We pay taxes and are helping Florida and Florida State out. When you are a private institution you have to raise money for your institution.
Q: What are your thoughts on the team so far this spring?
Shannon: I don't know. It's still early.
Q: What do you want to see in the scrimmage?
Shannon: Guys have to execute on offense and defense, fly around and have fun. One thing in the first scrimmage is you have to improve from that one to the next one to the next one. That's our goal, to improve every day in practice.

News & Notes from Friday
* The Hurricanes will hold a scrimmage open to the public tomorrow beginning at 10 a.m.
on Greentree Practice Field
Fans can get their first up close glimpse of Graig Cooper in action at tomorrow's 10 a.m. scrimmage
"Tomorrow's a real big day," defensive end Calais Campbell said. "Anytime there's a scrimmage it's a game situation, a chance to really go out, have fun and go 100 percent.
This will be the first chance for fans to see for themselves what highly touted tailback Graig Cooper brings to the table.
"That boy, he's explosive," Campbell said. "He reminds me of (Devin) Hester, how explosive he is. He's got great hips. I think he's going to be a tremendous player here. He might have an impact fast."
* Safety Anthony Redd*ck said he's fully healthy for the first time in almost two years.
"I've been in the right spot at the right time, doing my job," he said.
Of the overall defense, he says, "I think we're going to be better than last year. We're working to get better than every defense that's been through here."
* Ian Symonette has returned to full practice from injury.
* James Bryant missed practice today and won't be at practice tomorrow because coach Randy Shannon said he has academics he is working on.
* Calais Campbell says the players getting the most reps along the line varies depending on who is playing best.
"Most of the time it's been me, Eric Moncur, Antonio Dixon and Teraz McCray," Campbell said.
Campbell also said he's been surprised at how well the offense is playing.
"They're playing real well, especially yesterday they had a real big day, made us look bad," Campbell said. "We came out today and tried to redeem ourselves they moved the ball on us but we buckled down and stopped them when it counted."
* Cornerback Chavez Grant is learning cornerback for the first time this spring.
Last year he played nickel and dime.
"I feel I'm picking up things real well," Grant said. "Last year I learned a little bit of it, but this year they're trying to do more with me. I'm playing corner and nickel right now."
He says freshman Doug Wiggins is working in at nickel.
"He's looking pretty good," Grant said. "He's doing well. Everybody's improving. It's looking real good."

Suprising DL Emerging this Spring
[pic - click to view]
Defensive end Steven Wesley sat out his freshman year following a torn labrum in his shoulder suffered during two-a-days.
He underwent surgery in September.
Now he's proving this spring that he deserves a role on defense.
He is working with the second team and has done well.
"I haven't played football in seven months, so it was hard to come in and try to compete when everyone else had played," Wesley said. "Considering that I think I've done pretty well.
"I've been talking to the upperclassmen about how to play defensive end. Everything they tell me I try to put into practice. They tell me I'm getting the opportunity to play, so make the most of it."
Wesley has impressed his teammates.
End Calais Campbell says Wesley is in the four-end rotation and adds, "He's real explosive, has a lot of potential. He picks things up fast. He's going to definitely be a force this year. He's a pass rusher and run stopper.
"He's not a surprise to me, but for everyone else who doesn't know who he is, he's going to be a surprise to them."
Wesley says he's mostly been going up against Ian Symonette in practices.
"On pass situations I do well, and on running situations I have to bring all my power and do my best to make him vertical," Wesley said.
Wesley said he considers his specialty to be rushing the passer.
Asked how well he think this defense can do compared to last year, he said, "I think we can do real well. We're all working hard, are being disciplined."

Kicking Game pulls Switcheroo
Entering this year it was expected by many that Matt Bosher would be the team's new kicker and Daren Daly would be the new punter.
After all, those were the respective positions at which each player was recruited coming out of high school two years ago.
But that's now been switched up.
Daly has been told to only work on his kicking game in practices
Daly says he's been told only to concentrate on his field goal kicking and not to work on punting anymore this spring.
And Bosher says he expects to be the team's punter.
"They've switched me over to just kicking now and Bosher's doing most of the punting," Daly said.
Daly has hit on 21 of 23 field goal attempts in live drills this spring, including two of three today (he hit from 25 and 38 yards, missing from 36 yards).
Of his miss, he said, "The wind just took it."
Bosher has missed six of his attempts this spring, including a pair of misses today and yesterday. He also missed an extra point attempt wide today.
Daly's long made field goal this spring is from 51 yards out.
Bosher says, "I'm the leading candidate to punt. I'm really pleased with my punting."
Despite the misses by both kickers today, each said there's nothing to worry about in the kicking game.
"It's the spring and we're all working hard on getting everything down," Bosher said. "We'll be fine. No need to worry."
Coach Randy Shannon said of the kickers that "It was their first time; they're freshman. That's what people need to realize. They're not going to be Olindo Mare or Adam Vinatieri. These guys have never kicked before. They made some and they missed some, but they'll work to get better at it, and I think they will."
Special teams coordinator Joe Pannunzio added, "I'm not disappointed. We've got good guys, but everything's a work in progress."

Canes Show off in Public Scrimmage
[pic - click to view]
Miami's first public scrimmage under coach Randy Shannon drew approximately 1,000 onlookers at Greentree Practice Field this afternoon.
And they saw a spirited competition that saw the defense control most of the action.
"[The defense] did well," Shannon said. "They played the run game sometimes well and sometimes they didn't. Sometimes the quarterbacks did a nice job of threading the ball in there."
The offense managed three touchdowns, and Daren Daly and Matt Bosher combined to make three of six field goal attempts.
Leggett ended the scrimmage with a 9-yard TD grab
"The defense did a lot of good things out there," end Calais Campbell said. "Everybody swarmed to the ball. I'm excited about what we can do, because we looked good. The whole D line played well. We got pressure on the quarterback, stopped the run. A lot of young guys are stepping up. If we keep fine-tuning it I think we'll be able to top last year's defense. I'm excited. I can't wait."
There were numerous penalties on both sides of the ball, with several unsportsmanlike conduct calls for taunting along with offsides, false starts, illegal man downfield and pass interference calls.
"This was just the first scrimmage," Shannon said. "We don't want to be ready to go or be in tip-top shape until the first game. And we want to play our beat game the last part of the season, so we're on a steady move going forward. Guys are doing a good job, but we need to improve a lot. The defense did a lot of good things, and a couple of running backs made some nice runs, but now we have to finish it."
Quarterback Kyle Wright began the scrimmage working with the first team. But he hit on 15 of 33 passes for 89 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. His best pass was a nine-yard touchdown pass to Lance Leggett that ended the scrimmage.
"The best thing of the whole day is the last drive we go down and score," offensive coordinator Patrick Nix said. "For us that's winning the whole scrimmage. I was very proud of them for that.
"We have a lot of work to do, made a lot of mistakes."
Kirby Freeman, who is in an even competition with Wright for the starting job, hit on his first seven passes of the day and finished throwing for 189 yards with one touchdown.
Shannon would not address the play of the quarterbacks after the scrimmage.
"We're not worried about the quarterbacks; we have to worry about the team," Shannon said.
The leading receiver was Leggett, who had six catches for 96 yards and a touchdown.
"He's a difference-maker," Nix said. "There's no doubt. When you have a great wide receiver, that changes a ball game. Lance can fly, is big enough to get off press coverage."
Leggett had missed several practices this spring due to track meets.
But he didn't miss a beat today.
"This is my third practice, so I have to get in shape -- I'm in track shape right now," Leggett said. "The reason I'm getting the ball is because the line is blocking real well.
"I'm coming along real well, but I've still got a lot to work on. The offense, we still have a lot to work on. We have to work on route running, blocking, everything."
Freshman tailback Graig Cooper showed off his explosiveness in the scrimmage with a couple of nice moves and runs.
"I just make sure I do what I have to do," Cooper said. "It's the same offense I ran in high school, so I just have to learn the little things."
One of Cooper's runs ended at the one-yard line.
"It was k!lling me, man," Cooper said.
A few times Javarris James lined up in the backfield together with Cooper. And the team also ran some option pitch plays.
Of lining up with James, Cooper said, "It's cool, me and JJ have a good relationship."
Impressing in the scrimmage was fullback Jerrell Mabry, who had a 35-yard touchdown catch and run, and tight end DajLeon Farr, who had several key catches.
Of his touchdown, Mabry said, "It was a little angle route. Tavares Gooden got on my back hip, and once I got in front of him I knew I was gone. The only person there was Anthony Redd*ck. He was going to hit me, but I cut it up just before he could. Khalil Jones gave me a good block to get me in the end zone over Willie Cooper."
With two starting offensive linemen not involved in the scrimmage due to injuries, the offense relied on a lot of quick passes.
"We have some nicks, but I was just happy that nobody fell out," Shannon said. "Every player rotated because they'd done a nice job in the strength and conditioning program losing weight. That's most important -- if those guys keep banging away, everybody else will see that, that there's only six or seven guys for the whole spring, we can push to get better, also."
Shannon says he likedthe team's spirit today.
"Guys were high-fiving each other and jumping around, and that's what it'll take to get things done," he said. "We need to keep focusing on that. We want to come together as a team and stay focused and keep competing and f!ghting to the end."
Some of the highlights of the scrimmage:
-- Kirby Freeman threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to fullback Jerrell Mabry
-- Kirby Freeman threw a 60-yard non-scoring pass to Lance Leggett
--Safety Lovon Ponder made an interception of Kyle Wright in the two-minute drill
-- Daren Daly kicked field goals of 25 and 38 yards
-- Matt Bosher connected on a 25-yard field goal
-- Kenny Phillips made a diving interception of Kyle Wright
-- Kyle Wright threw a five-yard TD pass to Brian McNeil in the goal-line drill
-- Wright ended the scrimmage with a nine-yard TD pass to Lance Leggett

Local DB: I'm planning on going to Miami
[pic - click to view]
Pompano Beach Ely High School DB Patrick Johnson is in Tallahassee for Florida State's Junior Day.
But he's talking up the Canes.
"I'm planning on coming to Miami because I got a Miami scholarship offer in the mail," said Johnson, a 6-foot-0, 187-pounder with 4.47-second speed. "Miami's always been a dream of mine. I've been a Canes fan and I wanted to play for Miami since I was kid. It looks like fun playing for Miami."
Johnson says that the plan for now is to keep any official commitment silent until signing day.
He says he's also looking at FSU and Florida.
He no longer is high on Georgia - "I was looking at Georgia, but since I got the offer from the U I'm kind of looking at the U now," he says.
Last year Johnson had 54 tackles, seven interceptions and ran back three kickoffs for touchdowns.

2 Locals Commit to Hurricanes
Two locals commit to Hurricanes
By Omar Kelly
Posted March 24 2007, 7:38 PM EDT
CORAL GABLES - Pahokee defensive tackle Micanor Regis and Ely cornerback Patrick Johnson became the first two prospects to commit to the Hurricanes for the 2008 signing class.
Regis, a 6-foot-3, 296 pound standout who contributed 47 tackles and 13 sacks last season, informed head coach Randy Shannon of his intentions after Saturday's practice, which he attended.
"I've wanted to commit for a while but I wanted to see some more evidence that the program was headed in the right direction," said Regis, who is being recruited by Florida State, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama and Virginia Tech.
Johnson, who established himself as one of the state's top athletes by contributing 54 tackles and seven interceptions last season , says he picked UM over FSU and Florida after getting a scholarship offer from UM in the mail this week.
Commitments aren't binding until an athlete signs a letter-of-intent in February, but it's unusual for South Florida athletes to commit so early in the recruiting process.
Earlier this week Shannon said an early commit merely means UM's in the lead for a prospect, he then acknowledged recruiting is a long and arduous process.

Commitment #1 a 95% done deal
[pic - click to view]
Pahokee (Fla.) High School DT Micanor Regis says he's never followed college football closely or rooted for a particular college team.
But that's all changing.
Regis attended Miami's first spring scrimmage March 24 and committed on the spot.
"I committed to coach (Clint) Hurtt," Regis said. "I just told him `I'm going to commit.' He was excited. Then I talked to coach [Randy] Shannon and he just said `Congratulations.'"
Regis said the scrimmage made him realize he wanted to be a Cane.
"Just watching practice, how it was organized, I knew I wanted to go there," he said. "Before that I'd been to Miami a couple of times. Miami was one of my top choices, was one of the places I wanted to go.
"I'm friendly with Randy Phillips, played against him in high school and we talk -- he just tells me Miami's a great place to be, that the team's like a family. I know Miami produces some good defensive tackles. I knew I'd be a perfect fit for them."
Regis says he first received a verbal Cane offer last year.
"I talked to coach Hurtt back then, he gave me the offer - we have a strong relationship," Regis said. "When I call him he just wants to make sure I'm alright, see how I'm doing in school. He just checks on me."
A 6-foot-4, 300-pounder with 5.0-second speed, Regis had 47 tackles and 13 sacks as a junior.
He lists other offers from Florida State, South Carolina, Penn State, Alabama, Clemson, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Virginia.
"It was always just Miami for me," he said.
Regis says he "probably" won't take visits to any campuses other than Miami as recruiting progresses.
Asked if it's a 100 percent done deal for the Canes, he said, "This is about a 95 percent done deal."

UM Lands Big-Time Commitment #2
[pic - click to view]
Stud line prospect Brandon Washington remembers jumping up and down as a little kid watching the Hurricanes play big games against teams like Florida State.
"One of my dreams was always to be a Miami Hurricane," Washington said. "It's not a just now thing, being a Hurricane is something I wanted to be all my life."
Now he will be.
The 6-foot-4, 314-pounder with 5.2-second speed had planned to commit to UM after the Spring Game. But, with some urging from a friend, he decided to get it over with earlier.
"Having a guy like me commit, maybe that will make a lot of other guys commit also," Washington said.
So he called coach Randy Shannon last night. On the first try he got Shannon's voicemail.
"Coach, this is Brandon Washington. I'm committing to Miami," Washington said.
Washington called back an hour later and got Shannon in person.
"I said `I want to commit,' and he was excited," Washington said. "It was `Wow, I have Big D, he wants to be a Cane."
Washington received a Miami offer Sept. 1 of last year.
He played a game that night against Miami Norland and finished with two sacks and six tackles along with several pancake blocks on offense.
"I was excited," Washington said. "Every break I had off the field I was thinking `I got a scholarship from Miami, that's what I wanted.'"
Washington played at Miami Edison last year but is transferring to Northwestern High for the coming season.
"Everyone's saying we're going to be shocking how good we are with the top guys we have," Washington said. "I'm not coming to be a leader. It's my last year, so I want a smooth last year."
He says he will continue to play both ways at the new school.
And he could play on the offensive or defensive lines at the next level. He says he has no preference.
"That's up to coaches," he said. "I just want to come and be one of the great players that came out of the University of Miami. I'm going to go in, work hard. If I play offense I want to be another Bryant McKinnie or Vernon Carey. If I play defense I want to be a replacement for Bryan Pata.
"I just want to be on the field."
Washington says he may take visits to other colleges but that "I'm committed, I'm going to be a Cane."
He finished last year with seven sacks.
He lists nine current offers, including Alabama, Boston College, Ole Miss, Auburn and FIU.

South Korean rapper Psy plans to follow his "Gangnam Style" YouTube megahit with a single called "Gentleman" and is promising a "Psy Style" take on a traditional Korean dance to accompany the song's release, which was moved up a day to April 12.
The song will be available for Korean fans then, but Psy will perform it in public for the first time at an April 13 concert.
"The new song is extremely fun and ... what I can tell you is the song title is 'Gentleman'", Psy told local television late on Monday.
"I can't tell you about the dance but all Koreans know this dance - but (those in) other countries haven't seen it", Psy added, hinting at a takeoff on a traditional dance.
Psy has told his fans to turn up sporting white clothes at the upcoming concert, and posed in a variety of white garb himself, including a spacesuit and a bridal gown.
But the singer also said that stardom has taken a toll. In late March he tweeted a photo of himself covering his face at a recording studio, calling it the "pain of creation".
#????? -??cctv???? ??? twitter.com/psy_oppa/statu…— PSY (@psy_oppa) March 22, 2013
The music video for "Gangnam Style", which featured the chubby Psy doing what has become his trademark 'invisible horse' dance in a succession of garish jackets, is now YouTube's most-watched clip, and has made the 35-year-old a global celebrity.

I can't watch the entire thing live, but HLN is having Joey Jackson show clips in the afternoons! Anyone else watching?
I watched yesterday. The judge ruled that surveillance video of the police parking lot IS admissible, even if Hernandez was sitting with his lawyer in said lawyer's car, because most people would assume they were being filmed there, and the police have every right to be there and to film the parking lot. It does not fall under attorney client privilege. Quoted case law, too! Therefore, video of Hernandez destroying a cell phone will be admissible.
Yesterday seemed more about the physical evidence, with who took what pictures and the chain of authority those were taken.

|General information
|Notable members
Formerly Zhao's Skyship, The Imperial Right
Former Fire Lords, Azula
To spread Fire Nation culture across the world through the medium of war
The Cult of Sozin is an antagonistic organization in MightyBrit's Child of Destiny. Its members are hellbent on restarting the war to further spread the Fire Nation culture.
Background & Purpose
Little has been revealed about the founding days of the Cult of Sozin. It is known that it was founded after the War had been ended by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko by the former Admiral Zhao after he escaped from the Spirit World. He recruited former airship captain Shaoshang as his right-hand man shortly after the Cult's founding.
Since its founding, the Cult has grown dramatically in size. It has enough resources to build and operate Zhao's massive skyship, The Imperial Right, which is twice the size of the Fire Nation airships used during the War. It also has enough manpower to man the ship almost completely and it is crewed by both firebenders and nonbenders that are loyal to the old ideal of the Fire Nation.
The Cult's major purpose is to put the Fire Nation in the hands of a Fire Lord who approves of the War once more. They believe that Zuko's pacifist ways have damaged the economy and prosperity of the Fire Nation and that the War should be restarted to restore that former prosperity. Shaoshang and Pantu have both spoken of how they wish to spread their glorious culture around the world - a piece of old wartime propaganda by the Fire Nation that has become part of the Cult's ideals.
The Cult are an underhanded organization that will commit various atrocities to further their goals. Most notable of these are their various assassination attempts against Fire Lord Zuko, some of which have left him even more horribly scarred than before, but all have ultimately failed. There was also an assassination attempts against Fire Lady Mai's family, which was foiled by a visiting Ty Lee. Zhao is personally responsible for the murder of Yue.
The Cult are also responsible for various acts of terrorism including the firebombing of the home of Han Dre, the Fire Nation's ambassador to the Northern Water Tribe, which resulted in the death of the ambassador's youngest sister. Xiani and her squad of cultists terrorized Ba Sing Se, resulting in the deaths of several innocent civilians and the near death of Toph Bei Fong.
Kidnapping has graced the Cult's list of crimes as well as Shaoshang knocked out and kidnapped the moon spirit, Yue. A squad of cultists led by Xiani also attempted to kidnap Ursa in Ba Sing Se.
After the death of Yue, the Cultists became more bold in their movements. They have declared full-scale war on the Water Tribe and attacked the Southern Water Tribe with a large armada that forced the Water Tribe to retreat from their homeland and escape aboard Sokka's skyship, which he had, ironically, stolen from the Cult.
All of these atrocities are often marked with the phrase, Sozin was Right. It was graffitied onto a house destroyed by the Cult and written on the hilt of a knife used in an assassination attempt against Fire Lord Zuko. This phrase has become synonymous with the Cult's ideals.
