Ty Lee visits Ember Island 10 years after the events of 'Sozin's Comet' and meets with two people from her past...
By Kairi Taylor
Ty Lee looked in awe at the house before her. It was still a relative shock to her how the carpenters managed to restore the place to the way it looked when she last visited Ember Island 10 years ago, but it seemed time, and fate too, looked favorably on this house. It was the place where Zuko's family went for summer vacations, in happier times, before Ozai's greed and lust for power had tainted him and his children. She remembered what happened the night she last saw it, when the small group had let out all their frustrations. In many ways, the trip there had changed them all, but the effects of the change would not been seen for a few more months.
After the war, Zuko had ordered the place to be restored, in order to accommodate the new inhabitants, the two people she had decided to visit this week. The 2nd in command of the Kyoshi Warriors rarely had a chance to visit the Fire Nation without being on official duty, so it was a welcome breath of fresh air. Approaching the front doors of the mansion, Ty Lee knocked on the door, wondering if the new recruits would be ok without her. It was her responsibility to help in the training of the newest members of Kyoshi's fighting force, but such an opportunity that was before her rarely came along.
The large wooden doors swung open and before her stood a tall woman, dressed in a long green kimono. In her hands was a clay cup of tea, simmering hot. Her long brown hair was done up in a braid. The woman smiled as she addressed the young girl before her. "Ty Lee, it's been so long! I haven't seen you since I returned to the palace 10 years ago."
"It's great to see you too Ursa!" Ty Lee hugged Ursa tightly; careful not to make her lose her grip on the tea she was currently drinking. Ursa smiled warmly and replied "Likewise. I guess that since you're with the Kyoshi Warriors now, you have a lot of work ahead of you."
"Oh, yes. Being second in command is no picnic! Especially now that we've expanded to a base in Ba Sing Se. So many girls want to join up with us!"
"I can imagine. Oh, how is Iroh doing?"
"He's been doing great. His tea shop's also expanded as well! Not only that but…" Ty Lee got a mischievous grin on her face as she looked around to see if anyone was nearby, before whispering her secret into Ursa's ear. Ursa smiled as she said "I always knew something like that would happen."
"The old codger's still got it, I have to admit. Anyway, I think you know why I'm here."
"Of course, the garden is this way."
When she entered the garden, Ty Lee was immediately struck in awe by two things: one was the size of it, as well as the variety of flowers within. The other thing that has surprised her was at the small pond: a small trio of turtle ducks swam around in relative peace, occasionally stopping to eat a piece of tossed bread. Feeding them bread was Azula, dressed in a grey aikidogi & black hakama. She turned and saw Ty Lee standing in the archway entrance to the garden and smiled at her. There was not a hint of wrath or a trace of smug superiority laced with malice. It was a genuine feeling of joy that came with it. "Well well, the word on the street is that a certain someone's moved up in the world. Wonder who that is?"
"You never miss a beat with the sarcasm do you?" Ty Lee smiled.
"Call it one of my more endearing traits." Azula replied. "Got a hug for me or what?"
As Ty Lee moved to confront her, it was at that moment in time that they attacked; pieces of cylinder shaped earth shot up towards Azula & Ty Lee, and if they didn't instinctively leap backwards, they would have broken ribs to contend with. Ty Lee balanced herself on the railings on the wall nearby as Azula landed in a sturdy branch of the nearby cherry tree. "Seems like we have a guest." Ty Lee said to her. Azula nodded and added "They waited until my attention was diverted before they attacked. Clever."
"You knew they were here?"
"Yeah, but I didn't want to get the turtle ducks involved."
"Caring for the well being of another living being? You can't possibly be Azula!"
The owner of the voice leapt into the center of the garden. He was dressed as a Dai Li agent, but he lacked the hat. He was bald and had a scar over his right eye. "I am Tsung, a warrior of the Dai Li and I'm here to destroy you! Your crimes as conqueror of Ba Sing Se may have been forgiven by the Earth King and the Fire Lord, but I refuse to acknowledge it! You will pay for what you have done!"
"The Dai Li?" Ty Lee looked at Azula and asked her "Hey, I could have sworn that you banished them."
"Yes, not exactly one of my finest moments, I have to admit. And as soon as they returned to Ba Sing Se, they were branded as traitors & imprisoned. That's what I was told. I guess some of them managed to stay in hiding."
"No thanks to you! We were wrongfully punished for what you did!" Tsung shouted.
"Yes, but think about it: you could have imprisoned me and my friends when you had us and helped the Earth Kingdom in invading the Fire Nation and end the war. Instead, you chose to side with me and abandon the very city you were sworn to protect. Avatar Kyoshi would probably destroy you herself if she was still alive today."
"That's rich, coming from a monster like you!" Tsung growled.
"Maybe, but I'm no traitor." Azula adjusted the belt on her hakama and said to Ty Lee "We need to incapacitate him. Got any ideas?"
"I'm working on it."
"Sorry, but I won't allow the luxury of that. DIE!" Tsung assumed an Earth bending stance and made two sizeable boulders erupt from the ground, then kicked them both in their directions. Azula nimbly leapt from her perch and kicked through the boulder sent at her while Ty Lee jumped and bounced off hers, using the momentum to launch herself towards Tsung. Azula reached him first, landing at his side. Tsung quickly began to attack with a series of punches, but Azula easily dodged all of them and, at a particular point in his barrage grabbed him by the wrist & flipped him to the ground. Jumping right back up, he lunged and swung wildly at he, but Azula ducked under him and grabbed Tsung at the wrist & shoulder, quickly throwing him down again face first. Taking the initiative, Ty Lee punched a few pressure points, paralyzing him. "Wow that was amazing! You didn't use Fire bending at all!" Ty Lee said in astonishment.
"Even if I wanted to, I don't think it was needed to take him down. He left himself open a lot. At least he was pretty good at stealth. Come on, help me tie him up. My mom will get the police to pick him up."
A few hours later, after some cleaning up and lengthy explanations to the police, Ty Lee sat besides Azula in the garden. "So, my mother figured that studying under her teacher, sensei Ueshiba, would be very helpful for my therapy. I've been at it for at least 5 years now. I have to say, its way different from using Fire bending."
"You think? You tossed that guy around like he was as light as a feather! I never thought that was possible" Azula waved her hand and said "Ah, it's nothing really. Just a case of using your opponent's own momentum against them, that's all there is to it."
"I'll take your word for it."
"What I still can't believe is that you still want to talk to me after what happened so many years ago." Azula sighed. "I mean, come on, what I did was so harsh."
"You and Mai were going to kill each other. I was not about to lose either one of my friends while I could still do something."
"Yes, I know. You had to make your choice. In many respects, I should be asking for your forgiveness." Azula looked at the sky. "In many ways, you could say I was jealous of you. You were so carefree and trusting, and every boy you met seemed to like you. I couldn't understand how you managed to that while I, crown princess of the Fire Nation, couldn't even get a boy to want to ask me out."
"Given that you had a very malicious edge and a habit of burning anyone who annoyed you, which may actually be one indicator."
"Yeah, you're right. But that was still no excuse to treat you like a ragged dog. I probably would have learned more if you taught me how to be more receptive to guys."
"True, but I'm not exactly an expert on building relationships. If anything, I've done more matchmaking than dating. How else do you explain how Mai & Zuko had gotten together?" Azula laughed and said "Hey, I had a hand in that two."
"Have you spoken to them lately?"
"Yes, they sent us a letter a month ago; they're expecting their 2nd child soon!"
"No way! You mean little Lu Ten's going to have a sibling?"
"Yeah. Of course, I suggested against using any variation of the word 'Ozai' or 'Azulon' in the name. That seems to bring about a lot of bad luck." Azula stood up and stretched her arms. "I never got a chance to tell you about the day I reunited with my mother, did I?"
"Yeah, I was meaning to ask about that."
"I guess you could say that was when the healing began…"
She was bound hand and foot by iron shackles to the floor. Silently she sat in her cell, watching the clouds pass by overhead in the window. Her fall from power had been great and her she was, defeated and disgraced. She had once been Ozai's proud daughter and leader of a great army; she had conquered Ba Sing Se, defeated the Avatar and then helped to repel the invasion of the Fire Nation during the eclipse. None of that mattered now however; after the betrayal of Mai & Ty Lee for the sake of Zuko, she has pushed away anyone she trusted, even the old ones who kept her in check. She had lost not only her confidence, but her place in the family. She was defeated not by her brother, but by his companion, a lowly Water Bender. The humiliation was greater than she could bear and her mind snapped. Zuko, in a show of mercy, asked that she be kept in the nearby mental facility, where she could be taken care of and monitored. Unlike Ozai, Zuko had some regrets about the state of affairs that had happened between them. Azula believed otherwise, as she felt he loved nothing more than to keep her locked up.
The door to her room opened up and Zuko stepped inside. He looked at Azula, with no emotions on his face whatsoever, as it was known that Azula could tell what people were thinking by looking at them. "Well, well, Zuzu pays me a visit again! Come to tell me of the state of the nation? Or will you have a simple cup of tea with me?" Azula sneered.
"Actually, that's not why I'm here." Zuko said to her. "I brought a guest with me today. It's someone I think can help us both."
"Oh goodie, another head shrink! Let me guess, this one's going to tell me I have severe mommy issues. Believe me, it gets old real fast hearing the same prognosis over and over again."
"It's only because you refuse to admit that they're right. When mom left, it hurt you far more than even I thought. It's been eating at you ever since and you don't want to come out and say it because it would make you seem weak."
"You're wrong!"
"The nurses seem to think otherwise. They reported that they hear you talking at night to someone when there is clearly no one in your cell. And I don't think I know anyone else with the name 'Mother' here."
"So? I could be talking to my pet rat, who I could have called Mother!"
"I doubt it. I think it's time that you confronted this problem once and for all. And there is only one person that can help." The guards entered the cell and opened the door as Azula asked "And what quack did you find this time?"
Zuko stepped aside to let the person behind him in. It was Ursa, who had on a long brown robe with a hood on. She looked sternly at her daughter as she said "Hello Azula. It's been a long time."
"No…NO!!!" Azula sat up and scrambled to the back of the cell, but was held in place by the chains. "This is a trick…no, this is a dream!! You can't be here."
"I am here." Ursa said, keeping her voice level as she approached the cell. "Your brother has told me everything that you did. I know about all of it."
Azula, a look of fright in her eyes, struggled to get away, but to know avail. Ursa was getting closer, and she could not meet her gaze. "The royal guard told me of all that you had done while I was banished. All of the pain and misery you inflicted upon many. All of the people you defeated and how you almost killed the Avatar. And how you lost your mind after you were defeated by Katara of the Water Tribe. I only have one thing to say to you…"
As Ursa knelt down to face her daughter, Azula tightly clenched her eyes shut. She couldn't bear witness to face her mother's wrath, something she had dread for so long. What she got instead confused her: Ursa grabbed her and hugged her tightly. She held her daughter's head in her hand and stroked her hair as she said the words Azula believed she would never say to her.
"I forgive you, and I will always love you."
With these words uttered in her ears, Azula did what she could only do in that moment. She wept.
"Well, that was an interesting round."
It was a year now since the return of Ursa and Azula's progress had improved significantly. Ursa had decided to stay in a house near the mental facility so that she could visit Azula daily. Azula had finally stopped having delusional states and began to slowly talk more and more with the doctors and her mother. She was eventually moved to one of the open areas of the ward, which had a garden that the patients could relax in. Currently, the two were engaged in a game of Go, which the elder had one. "I see you're picking up the game quickly."
"It's kind of a military simulation if you stop and think about it." Azula pointed out, but then again, I suppose it is not good for me to be making such comparisons."
"Oh no, you're right about that," Ursa said, "don't feel too bad about it."
"What I feel bad about is thinking you hated me for so long." Azula said toUrsa. "You were always so doting to Zuko."
"Yes, well, he didn't exactly have a whole abundance of confidence like you did." Ursa pointed out. Azula sighed and said "Yes, you're right. I suppose I didn't really help in that area too, did I?"
"No." Ursa picked up the pieces and said to Azula "I guess it must had seemed to you that I was more doting on Zuko, but the truth of the matter is, someone like you who has your confidence level didn't really need me to cheer you on. If anything, I wanted o steer you away from your more aggressive tendencies. Tendencies your father seemed to encourage."
"No kidding. He was the one who told me you called me a monster."
"I can't believe you believed him."
"I was a little girl who wanted both of her parents to love me! What did you expect?"
"Good point."
"Actually, if anything, I wanted to feel like you were as proud of me as you were of Zuko. I mean, look at how he was…"
"Yes, he made mistakes, he was shy, he was not as militant as what he could have been," Ursa answered, "but that what made him special, dear. That's what makes any person special. To be able to pick yourself up after failing over and over again and keep at it, that's what makes him as strong as he is now. He overcame his shortcomings to be an honorable man, a type of person that was needed to bring order to our family and because of it, the world can finally heal."
"Did you always know that he could do that?"
"I always suspected it. I also always suspected your father never cared for him because he wasn't as driven as you and he were. The night of your grandfather's death proved it." Ursa sighed and said "Believe me, if I could have brought both of you with me when I was banished, I would have, but people would have been asking questions."
"I kind of wish that you could have." Azula said. "Maybe then, I could have understood what you wanted of me."
"Well, I'm here now. And I don't intend on leaving your side anytime soon."
The door to his cell opened and Azula entered, motioning for the guard to stay behind. 5 years had passed since the end of the war and it was the first (and last) time she wanted to see him. In his cell sat Ozai, former Fire Lord and would-be Phoenix King, now a prisoner stripped of his Fire Bending abilities. Long streaks of grey lined his hair and beard as he gazed at the sight of his only daughter standing before him, a solemn look on her face. "Ah, Azula." Ozai said. "I see they let you out of the mental house."
"Yes, it's amazing what sanity can do for you." Azula said.
"So, what brings you to my cell? Hopefully, it's to bring me news that you have found enough supporters to have a coup and overthrow your brother."
"Actually, I'm going to go see him today at the palace. We're planning his official wedding to Mai as we speak."
"What? Have you let him get to you too?"
"It was mother's idea, actually. It's her way of building the bonds between us."
"Of course, Ursa." Ozai frowned as Azula turned away from him. "She never did see things like they should be."
"There is one other thing. I wanted to deliver a message to you. Not from Zuko or mother but from me. My message is simple: Goodbye."
"Goodbye? What, are they executing me?"
"No, but don't give me ideas. After spending time with mother, I had an ephiany one morning. I always thought that all I wanted was both the love of my mother and father in order to be the perfect person. In reality, I just didn't want to be left alone. Oh sure, I had friends or servants, but I only had them because I used fear to keep hem in line. You taught me that no one could really be trusted completely, that force was the only binding thing that kept us in power. What a wonderfully horrid thing to teach a troubled little girl. You never saw me as a daughter, but a living weapon that only existed to enforce the will of the Fire Lord. You would willingly cast aside the life of my brother to save face because he wasn't like you and you let the only woman who loved you be banished because it gave you the power you so desired. In the end, Zuko and Uncle prevailed because they had the capacity to love, something you considered a weakness. And it was compassion that allowed the Avatar not only to defeat you, but take away your ability to Fire Bend forever. It was compassion that enabled Katara to defeat me as I slid into madness, a state that you helped put me into. Maybe one day you will understand why I'm doing this. But I doubt you will. So long father. May you find the same peace I did."
And that was indeed the last time Azula spoke to her father.
"Wow, way to lay into your dad." Ty Lee whistled as Azula completed her tale. "I only wish you could have given him a head butt or kicked him in the shin after that."
"I would have aimed higher." Azula replied. "It's still a wonder though, that mother managed to slip away from my father's surveillance with the help of the Order of the White Lotus while she was banished. Then again, Uncle Iroh always has at least a back up plan ready."
"Speaking of Iroh…" Ty Lee's face lit up as she said "Guess who's a dad?!"
"Whoa, UNCLE?" Azula stroked her chin and said "I always figured him for the confirmed bachelor type. He got married?"
"Yeah, to a girl who used to be his prison guard, Meng. They had twins. One is named Serena and the other is named Mao."
"Unusual choices, really. Anyone else we know having kids?"
"Oh gee, let me think…AANG AND KATARA?!"
"No way. Well, actually, that isn't so surprising. He kid's had a thing for her. At least she didn't end up with Zuzu…imagine that."
"I try not to."
"Well, if I want to beat my brother in the 'Who has more children than their siblings' department, I better snag myself a nice boy to settle down with. Gee, I wonder if Sokka is available."
"Trust me, Suki would have your head. Toph too."
"She's the new leader of the army at Ba Sing Se right? I'm surprised her dad let her loose."
"Well, she is his only heir, he can't really do much. I'll tell you all about it at dinner."
Azula looked at her friend. "Dinner? Where?"
"Your mom found this nice new place to eat dinner at. And I found a couple of new boys for us to hang out with."
"Hmm, my mom must have planned all this. She knows I don't exactly like going out without her."
"Trust me. There's this really nice boy from the Earth Kingdom you'll like too. Think his name is Haru…"

TV is no longer a first priority
42% of Americans are no longer sitting back and watching TV only; they are perusing their tablets while 40% are on mobile phones. I do this too. It's almost second nature to have the TV on, but it's not a priority anymore. It's something that may be on in the background but the computer is becoming first priority. Now even more so with tablets and smart phones TV is falling to the wayside. Social Media might be helping TV, but it's no longer the first priority for home entertainment.
Social Media Stats That Will Blow Your Mind |A very interesting number to take away from this data and also the report is that the fastest growing demographic for social media use currently is the 65+ age group. It grow almost 50% in just the last few years. Now part of that can be the resilience of the baby boomer generation to adopt new social technologies but I think many are starting to realize the raw power that online social communication can bring to a business or even on a personal level.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
2 New Alzheimer's Drugs Show Promise in Early Studies
The first study tested a drug called CHF5074 that's made by an Italian company called Chiesi Pharmaceuticals. The drug is believed to turn down inflammation in the brain by modulating microglial cells.
Microglia are the housekeepers of the brain. They keep its connections free of unwanted garbage, but they also produce chemicals that trigger inflammation, which can become toxic over time.
Ninety-six patients took one of three different doses of the drug or a placebo for the first 14 weeks of the study. Then researchers opened the trial, allowing study participants who wanted to continue to keep taking their original drug dosage. Seventy-four people chose to remain on the drug. All the patients had mild cognitive impairment, an early stage of memory loss that sometimes progresses to Alzheimer's disease.
Fourteen patients dropped out of the trial early. Three left because of adverse events. The main side effect reported in the study was diarrhea, which affected 16 percent of patients on the highest dose of the drug.
After 16 months on the drug, patients who remained on the drug saw significant improvements on some tests of memory and problem solving. The drug appeared to work especially well in patients who carried a gene called APOE4, which confers the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer's. APOE4 carriers saw improvements in test scores that were about one-third to one-fourth higher than before they started the study.
"Our study shows that we may, may, in some way help patients with their memory, perhaps because we're keeping the microglia from overactivity," said study leader Dr. Joel Ross, president of the Memory Enhancement Centers of America in Eatontown, N.J.
Experts who were not involved in the research saw reasons for caution with the results.
"With [74] patients, you can't jump up and down about some symptoms improving in some patients," said Greg Cole, associate director of the Alzheimer's Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. "It's also not clear what the nature of the microglia modulation is exactly."
Study authors admit they don't know exactly how the drug works, either. But they said they're already planning larger studies to try to confirm their finding.
The second drug being presented at the meeting, a BACE inhibitor that's being developed by Merck, has the opposite problem. Researchers know exactly how it does what it does. They don't yet know whether it will help patients.
BACE inhibitors block an enzyme that cleaves a large protein in the brain into smaller pieces of sticky beta amyloid, a substance that forms telltale plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Blocking the enzyme blocks production of beta amyloid.
"It's been an important target. It took the drug companies at least a decade to develop this class of drugs," Rosenberg said. "Drug companies did a lot of black magic to get this drug into the brain. It's really compelling that this drug really does what it says it does."

A man arrested for robbing a Harrisburg bank last month has been charged with 10 other robberies in Dauphin, Lebanon and Cumberland counties.
The charges against 51-year-old Landon Thomas include five crimes where the suspect covered his face with a white dust mask, according to charging documents.
Thomas is accused of taking about $2,000 in cash from convenience stores and gas stations during robberies between Aug. 14 and Sept. 7 before he was arrested Sept. 20 for robbing the Fulton Bank in the 200 block of N. 3rd street.
According to the criminal complaint, Thomas began his crime spree with the robberies of a Turkey Hill convenience store at 815 Quentin Road in Lebanon the night of Aug. 14 and the Hess gas station at 5390 Jonestown Road in Harrisburg the following night.
Three nights later, on Aug. 18, he allegedly robbed the Turkey Hill at 17 Briarcrest Square in Hershey.
In the first two robberies, the suspect held a white towel over the lower part of his face while demanding money from the registers, and in the second and third robberies he was said to be wearing a long green coat, and no weapons were used.
Thomas kept a hand in a jacket pocket as if he had a gun when he robbed the Shell gas station at 1715 Market Street in Camp Hill on Aug. 21, where he also wore the green jacket and first used the white dust mask as his disguise, according to the complaint.
During the early hours of Aug. 24, police said he robbed the Sunoco gas station at 305 W. Governor Road in Hershey while wearing a hospital-style mask, and used the dust mask again when he held up the Turkey Hill at 2060 Good Hope Road in Enola in the early morning of Aug. 27.
The dust mask was also used in robberies at the Turkey Hill at 7601 Allentown Boulevard in Grantville during the morning of Aug. 29 and at the Exxon gas station at 835 Eisenhower Boulevard in Harrisburg on Sept. 2, two other crimes where Thomas allegedly kept his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun, the complaint states.
The following day, on Sept. 3, Thomas robbed the Turkey Hill at 812 East Penn Avenue in Cleona wearing a painters-style mask and holding what appeared to be a gun. When the clerk asked if the gun was real, Thomas replied: "Does it look like my finger? Open the damn register!" the complaint states.
Thomas allegedly robbed one more gas station, the Sunoco A-Plus at 116 N. Mountain Road in Harrisburg, where in the early hours of Sept. 7 the clerk saw his dust mask and attempted to close and lock the register room door. Thomas forced the door open, cutting the clerk on his arm, and took money from the register drawer, according to the complaint.
The court document indicates that police arrested Thomas for the bank robbery after he took a taxi cab from the train station to his girlfriend's home in the 1400 block of Naudain Street, where he was hiding behind a door near the shower in the bathroom.
He had a large amount of cash in his pockets, and a backpack in the house had more cash and a white dust mask, police said in the complaint.
He later admitted to robbing the bank as well as the gas stations and convenience stores, police said.
Thomas will face 11 counts of robbery at his preliminary hearing Nov. 8.
His bail at Dauphin County prison is set at $1 million cash.
3235 Hoffman Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110

Ziti with Honey Mustard Salmon
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon grainy or Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 pound ziti
- 1. Heat the oven to 400°. Lightly oil a small roasting pan. Put the salmon in the pan, skin side down. Spread the honey over the salmon and then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Roast the salmon until just barely done, about 12 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the fillet. Remove from the oven.
- 2. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until about 1 tablespoon remains, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, cream, salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn off the heat. Flake the salmon and stir it and the parsley into the sauce.
- 3. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ziti until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce.
- Wine Recommendation: With the sweetness of the honey and the heat and acidity of the mustard, a fruity red wine such as a slightly chilled California pinot noir would be an excellent choice.

Welcome to the very first installment of Uncle Jesse's Hairstyle Guide. Hopefully this can become a full time project, depending on your reception. To begin with we are going to focus on the "Pineapple."
Small background on the pineapple, it was originally made famous by poor people and white basketball players. And still only worn by the two. Poor people/whiteys love this hairstyle because its easy to maintain and looks great soaked in sweat. Now I will give you, the average reader, step-by-step guide to having your very own "pineapple" haircut.
1. Get a terrible haircut, make sure to tell the barber short everywhere except the bangs. Essentially a backwards mullet.
2. Comb it forward so it covers your forehead.
Now the next couple steps are optional, depending on your environment
If playing basketball: sweat alot, so much that each strand singles itself out, so you can see every individual hair.
If going to the club/or meeting the parents of the girl you impregnated: put gel in, and don't go easy, lube that shit up. Make sure to comb out every hair hangin down, much like the sweat tactic. If you want to be noticed, you gotta make sure every strand of hair has its day in the sun!
And finally to really pull out that pineapple look make sure to follow up with the following:
1. Big glass stud earring
2. Oversized white t-shirt
3. A nice pair of jean shorts
And thats it folks, follow these simple steps and you too can look poor or like you're about to ball with the homies, holla
Next issue we will discuss the "Guido Blowback"

Spoilers for, eh, Crossroads of Twilight to Towers of Midnight. I think.
The way I understood it (though I haven't gotten that far in my current reread yet) was that Logain went back to the BT right after the Sea Folk meeting, probably because Rand was really pissing him off, you know treating him like an errand boy and fly-swatter.
So by my estimates, that gives him a good three months at the BT before the start of AMoL. Plenty of time to raise Androl to Dedicated and reestablish ties to his group.
And as for Algarin/Emarin I always thought he just went on his own. Cadsuane left, he wasn't playing host, and he figured, well why not see if I can?

Get the Skinny on Restaurant Salads
If you order a fried shrimp po-boy or a pepperoni pizza, you know what you're eating isn't particularly good for you. But, when you order a salad, you probably feel like you're making a smart choice. But, be careful! Many restaurant salads aren't as nutritious as they seem. Chain restaurants are now posting their nutrition facts online, and the salad stats can be mind-boggling.
The simple things you can do to cut back on the calories and fat include asking for dressing on the side, and limiting your high-fat add-ins like cheese, bacon, nuts, avocados, etc. With that in mind, there are still salads you may want to steer away from.
Registered Dietitian Molly Kimball found these shocking salads:
Applebee's Grilled Shrimp 'N Spinach Salad
This one weighs in at a whopping 1010 calories with 69 grams of fat! That's more than a fried shrimp po-boy! If it's your favorite - you can make simple changes to help you save. For example, hold the dressing - that will cut 330 calories. Or, just use half the almonds and bacon to save another 200.
Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad
This is one racks up 1290 calories and 79 grams of fat!! To make it healthier, hold the dressing to save 700 calories..yes 700 calories! Also, try requesting the crispy noodles on the side and use just half to net another 150 calories.
Outback's Queensland Chicken Salad with mustard vinaigrette
This salad adds up to 1410 calories and contains 117 grams of fat! But again, there are things you can do to make it better. Holding the dressing on this salad saves nearly 600 calories, and you can also switch to grilled chicken instead of chicken salad. In addition, asking for just one type of cheese saves another 300 plus calories.

Research Interests
- COSMOS, Digital Social Research & Big 'Social' Data
- Computational Criminology
- Cybercrime / Human Factors in Cybersecurity
- Cyber Hate and Homophobic Hate Crime
COSMOS, Digital Social Research & Big 'Social' Data:
I am a founder of the Collaborative Online Social Media ObServatory (COSMOS) that has attracted 17 research grants amounting to over £1.25M in funding from the ESRC and £500K from the public and private sectors. The COSMOS programme of work directly relates to my career-long interest in Digital Social Research (DSR) that dates back to 1997 when I began my PhD on virtual communities and cybercrime (supervised by Prof. Paul Atkinson). I was Principal Investigator on the first founding COSMOS grant 'Digital Social Research Tools, Tension Indicators and Safer Communities: A demonstration of COSMOS' (ESRC DSR Programme) and am Principal Investigator on the current COSMOS grant 'Social Media and Prediction: Crime Sensing, Data Integration and Statistical Modeling' (ESRC/National Centre for Research Methods Methodological Innovation Project). I also play major roles as a Co-Investigator on the following ongoing COSMOS related grants: 'Understanding the Role of Social Media in the Aftermath of Youth Suicides' (Department of Health for England); 'Public Perceptions of the UK Food System: Public Understanding and Engagement, and the Impact of Crises and Scares' (ESRC & Food Standards Agency); 'Digital Wildfires: (Mis)information Flows, Propagation & Responsible Governance' (ESRC Global Uncertainties Ethics and Rights in Security); 'Linking Administrative, Curated and User-Generated Data for Evidence-Based Policy Making: The Case of Safer Communities in Smarter Cities' (ESRC Secondary Data Analysis Initiative Phase II); 'Detecting Tension and Cohesion in Local Communities with Social Media' (Airbus Group); and High Performance Computing, Scalability and Big 'Social' Data (HPC Wales/Fujitsu). I was also Co-Investigator on the following COSMOS grants that have now completed: 'Hate Speech and Social Media: Understanding Users, Networks and Information Flows' (ESRC/Google Data Analytics); 'Supporting Empirical Social Science Research with a Virtual Research Environment' (JISC); and 'Requirements Analysis for Social Media Analysis Research Tools' (ESRC/DSR). Before COSMOS I was involved in the Cardiff Digital Ethnography and Hypermedia research programme (with Atkinson, Coffey & Dicks) as Co-Investogtaor on 'Ethnography for the Digital Age' (ESRC) and 'Methods and Issues in Qualitative Online Data Sharing and Archiving' (ESRC Qualitative Archiving & Data Sharing). On the topic of DSR I have published in the major social science methodology journals (Qualitative Research, International Journal of Social Research Methodology (IJSRM), Sociological Research Online, Methodological Innovations and Building Research Capacity) and have edited a special issue of IJSRM on Computational Social Science: Theory, Method and Data (with Williams, Housley & Edwards). I have also written the Digital Social Research chapters in the leading methodology textbooks in criminology including 'Doing Criminological Research' (Jupp: Sage); 'Doing Research on Crime and Justice' (King & Wincup: Oxford) and 'Online Social Research: Methods, Issues & Ethics' (Chen & Hall: Peter Lang). Between 2013-14 I was awarded a Cardiff University Research Leave Fellowship to further develop my work on COSMOS and to establish international links with Rutgers University, University of Texas, Austin and Twitter US.
Computational Criminology, Cybercrime and Human Factors in Cybersecurity:
I have applied my significant amount of digital methodology work to the study of cybercrime, that formed the focus of my PhD thesis. In 2010 I was successful in capturing a ground-breaking research grant 'e-Crime Reduction Partnership Mapping Study' (with Levi) from Nominet Trust. The project was championed by the Rt. Hon. Alun Michael MP and the findings were launched at Westminster to MPs and industry. Our recommendations highlighted the need for a UK cybercrime reduction partnership and in 2013 HMG's Cybercrime Reduction Partnership was formed and I was invited to join as one of only two academics. The research was presented at a keynote address, and at conferences in Europe and Australia and published as two journal papers and one book chapter. In 2013 I was a key player in the successful capture of the RCUK Global Uncertainties Consortia for Exploratory Research into Cyber Security grant 'Identifying and Modelling Victim, Business, Regulatory and Malware Behaviours in a Changing Cyberthreat Landscape' (£1.2M) that continues my work in this area. I have published extensively in this area in high profile international journals including: Criminology & Criminal Justice, Policing & Society, Security Journal, Journal of Sexual Aggression, Information Management & Computer Security and International Review of Law, Computers & Technology. Recently I edited the special issue of Policing and Society entitled: Policing Cybercrime: Networked and Social Media Technologies and the Challenges for Policing. I have written chapters in several key criminology textbooks and edited collections on the topic, including 'Criminology' (Hayle et al.: Oxford); 'Handbook of Crime' (Brookman et al.: Willan); 'Handbook of Internet Crime' (Jewkes & Yar: Willan); and 'Crime & the Internet' (Wall: Routledge). My book, Virtually Criminal published by Routledge was short listed for the British Sociological Association's Philip Abrams Memorial Book Prize in 2007. In 2013 I was invited by James Brokenshire, then Minister for Security, and David Willets, Minister for Universities and Science to join, as one of only two academics, HMG's Cyber Crime Reduction Partnership. In 2014 I was invited by Professor Sir Alan Wilson, Chair of the Home Office Science Advisory Committee, to join HMG's Costs of Cybercrime International Expert Advisory Group. I also currently act as an expert reviewer for the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) Board of Physical Sciences Cyber Security Programme. I have been an academic reviewer on HMG's Office for Science Foresight project 'Future of Identity', an academic advisor to the ACPO/College of Policing project 'National Assessment on threats and opportunities posed by the use of Global Digital Communication Technologies', and an academic advisor to the DTI foresight programme and the eCrime Wales Project.
Cyber Hate and Homophobic Hate Crime
I have a long-standing interest in homophobic hate crime and the migration of all forms of hate to the Internet. In 2010 I captured a Big Lottery grant (£570k) for the 'All Wales Hate Crime Project', on which I was sole PI. This is the largest and most comprehensive academic study of hate crime conducted within the UK. This project built upon my previous two studies into homophobic hate crimes in Wales (Stonewall Cymru Counted Out! Survey 2003 & Counted In! Survey 2007). The Big Lottery project achieved outstanding impact. The findings were received by the Wales Minister for Communities at the project launch in the National Assembly for Wales and formed the key source of evidence for the Welsh Government's Framework for Action on Tackling Hate Crime. The key findings from the project were recently published in the British Journal of Criminology. More recently I have studied the migration of hate crime and speech to the Internet. As part of my PhD thesis I examined how forms of illocutionary speech in virtual communities could constitute hate crime. I continued this research by capturing the ESRC/Google Data Analytics grant 'Hate Speech and Social Media: Understanding Users, Networks and Information Flows'. A major output from this project entitled 'Tweeting the Terror: Modelling the Social Media Reaction to the Woolwich Terrorist Attack' has been published in the international peer-reviewed journal Social Network Analysis and Mining and was picked up in the international press by the Times of India, Zee News, India, and Sun News, Canada.
Interdisciplinarity is a key feature of my research and I have worked with members of staff in the schools of Computer Science, Psychology, Law, Business, Mathematics and Dentistry. I have been successful in gaining grants from the ESRC, EPSRC, AHRC, JISC, Big Lottery Fund, Welsh Government, Nominet Trust, Stonewall Cymru, TUC Wales, Safer Wales, Department of Health, Food Standards Agency, Google, High Performance Computing Wales/Fujitsu and the Airbus Group. My research income to date is in excess of £4M.
I was recently appointed to serve as a member of the ESRC's Peer Review College.

"Now, all of this exciting competition could be just a mirage if Apple blows the world away with the iPhone 5S, if Windows Phone 8 devices all bomb as Microsoft's (MSFT) ill-fated Surface has, and if Samsung's dominance forces rival Android vendors to quit the market. But for the first time in a while, I feel as though I don't really know where the mobile industry is headed. And that is very exciting."
I see where the mobile industry is headed: Android dominated world. Google made Android because they didn't want Apple to dominate the market. I'm not sure that I prefer a world dominated by Google.

Courtney posted a website in her Tumblr that gives you a personality/horoscope type reading, based on what? Clicking colored cubes in the order so which you choose to. And like she thought of her results, mine are… eerily accurate. The last part is especially what got me, considering the anxiety I knew I'd have over school is starting to creep up on me.

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.
You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.
At times all of us would like to be like the ostrich - to be able to bury our heads in the sand and let the rest of the world go by, but unfortunately you can't do just that - you have to face up to reality. A little peace and quiet would be most acceptable at this time but if only one could turn a blind eye to the problems of the day! Tomorrow is another day and who knows, it could be 'today' (not tomorrow) that could be the first day of the rest of your life!
You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you - that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you they simply flow off you as water flows off a ducks back. You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can 'Let your hair down' and share your hopes, dreams and high standards. You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry.
Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was.
hello tumblr. i'm aimee.

First take your self-respect and throw it out the door.
Ok, now you can be a vampire.
Isn't the whole point of RP immersion in the game?
Seems fair enough they look down on people who ignore the context and suddenly decide they're Vampires. Or did I miss something?
I think i'll go make a Draenei warrior who's also a Jewish Golem, and see if anyone takes it seriously.
Right. Ones who were killed by Arthas and raised as minions.
Until we can get Exalted with The Scourge and attack Icecrown raids, running around yelling "I'm half San'layn! I vant your blood, Blaah!" seems incredibly forced.
I've had characters get webbed and bitten, can they be half-spider and need to eat bugs?
They'd make good tailors, since they can make their own silk.
I'm assuming Kia used to work at Cinnabon with Azriel and all the other neo-goth vampire-esque failed drama people. Can't wait for this "phase" in the horrible cycle of what we call "modern culture" to go the way of global warming....forever lost to people who can be shammed by anyone who owns a crayon and a piece of paper.
And for the record. Edward blows.

So.. you're Team Jacob?
Duh duh tish! (Joke drum sounds, lame, I know.)
Clydtsdk-Rivendare said...
Listen to yourself, Kia, and ask who needs to grow up.
Shh... We aren't allowed to point out the idiocy in Kia's argument, that just makes us even more of a bunch of dicks. I think what's happened is that we insulted Kia's poor little vampire blood elf RP fun, and he's taking it out on us. It's okay, though, people who pretend they're vampires do this all the time, it's nothing new.
All joking aside, and it's hard to toss that aside when dealing with this kind of role-play, I have a few comments.
First: Vampire like creatures may exist in the game but that does NOT mean that they are playable characters. That is NOT something that is done. If you want to allow people who choose one thing then play another, may as well allow all the demon and dragon and sons of Arthas/Thrall into the mix. Just because something is in the game, doesn't mean it should be played. Vampires are, until lore changes it, ENEMIES. They are not friends. They are not misunderstood. They are evil, and they want to destroy life, and the lives of the players are included.
Secondly: I know a lot of people, especially young girls and angst-filled teens, like vampires. Maybe it's the allure of the forbidden, maybe it's the fact that a lot of them feel misunderstood and alienated, so identifying with another who is alienated and thinking they are misunderstood too makes them feel better. The truth is, except for trite garbage like certain novels and movies, vampire fiction has had them as bloody, ruthless, cold blooded killers with non redeemable souls. Let me say that louder for the cheap seats: NON REDEEMABLE SOULS. So playing one, and fantasizing about them, is just silly in my eyes, and maybe once the people are educated in good literature, and grow out of their "the world hates me" phase, they will understand. We can only hope.
Thirdly: While I appreciate what WoW.com is doing, helping to get people role-playing and in things they wanna do, I find it deplorable that you are giving people advice on how to play a character which is, at least for the moment, WHOLEY EVIL. Come on! We don't need more sparkly wanna-be's running around.
I have nothing against Vampire RP in a vampire friendly environment. I used to play World of Darkness RPGs when I was in college, and I liked the world they set up. But playing one in Azeroth is just plain WRONG.
You can call us mean and brats and that we need to grow up, but I believe that is just Freudian Projection at work. Find me evidence of one redeemed San'lyn or one person turned by one that is NOT evil, and we will talk. Until then, just accept you have no proof of your claim that vampires can be players.

Carbon Monoxide: What You Need to Know
As cities and state continue to pass carbon monoxide detector laws, the demand for these products is soaring
It's late at night in the Smith household. Mr. Smith's wife and young son are already asleep, and he's just finished watching the 10 o'clock news. What he doesn't know is that within the past 12 hours his water heater, which hasn't been serviced in years, has started to leak large amounts of a poisonous gas: carbon monoxide.
Mr. Smith turns off the lights in his living room and heads up the steps to bed. He's had a mild headache all evening, so he finally gives in and takes some aspirin. He doesn't feel as steady as he usually does, but he figures that he just needs a good night's rest. So he crawls into bed, sets his alarm, and within a few minutes drifts into sleep.
Unfortunately, nobody in Mr. Smith's family survives the night.
While the above account is fictionalized, similar real-life stories happen every year; and as such, states are beginning to pass laws that require carbon monoxide detectors in buildings where people sleep. With a growing market for carbon monoxide detection, security dealers should understand the threat and know which new products can serve their customers' needs.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas comprised of a carbon atom bonded to an oxygen atom. CO is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds such as gasoline, coal, oil, and wood. It is a common gas that can result from the use of engines, oil burners, open fires, gas fires, water heaters, and other appliances. The danger posed by CO is when it starts to accumulate in high concentrations, which can happen in areas that are improperly ventilated or with appliances that aren't maintained and start leaking excessive amounts of the gas.
Furthermore, CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, which is why it's also known as, "The Silent Killer." Some symptoms that a person might experience before succumbing to CO poisoning include headache, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. However, these symptoms are all fairly common and can be found in other ailments, such as the flu. Obviously, if ever you suspect high levels of carbon monoxide, get to fresh air immediately. Also, try to turn off the source of CO if possible.
"We would encourage all consumers to have CO detectors in their homes," says Patty Davis, spokesperson, U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. She went on to explain that even homes that don't have gas lines in them could be at risk from an attached garage (running car could leak CO into home) or from gas grills or generators used improperly inside a home (possibly during a power outage in the aftermath of a natural disaster such as a hurricane or blizzard).
When former American tennis star Vitas Gerulaitis died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sleeping in a friend's guesthouse in 1994, the story was widely reported and CO alarms experienced a temporary boost in sales. However, states didn't begin mandating the alarms by law.
In recent years, things have changed. As carbon monoxide tragedies have remained in the news and detectors have improved, more cities and states are moving to pass laws. A recent example was when Miami passed "Janelle's Law" last year, requiring the installation of CO detectors in homes, rental units, hotels and motels. The law was named for Janelle Bertot, a Florida International University student who died from CO poisoning in 2004.
"In 2003, New York state was one of the larger states to first pass legislation to require CO alarms in homes, and since then a number of states have followed with some sort of variation of a law," says Suzanne Turner, director of communications and marketing, Kidde R&C. "Some states may require new construction only—for example, Connecticut—while other states have passed more stringent and extensive laws to require both existing and new construction homes."
Some state CO laws only require alarms in one- and two-family dwellings, while others require them in apartments, hotels, motels, and dormitories, adds Turner. "So we have seen a lot of variation of different types of laws that have passed across the country."
"There is a strong regulatory trend mandating the installation of carbon monoxide detectors," says Richard Roberts, carbon monoxide product manager, System Sensor. "In the past six years, 11 states—mostly in the northeast and large cities like New York, Chicago, Charlotte and St. Louis—have adopted ordinances requiring the installation of CO detectors. Several more states have pending legislation. These ordinances have aided the adoption of the CO detector in the market."
Rick Cullwell, sales manager for fixed gas detection systems, 3M – Macurco, says that he really sees CO detectors becoming mainstream. "About ten years ago when I asked people at trade shows how many people had installed one, probably about 2 out of every 10 installers had put in a new carbon monoxide or gas detector," he recalls. "Now when I ask those people about 6 to 8 out of every 10 people are doing that."

Music for Writing
The Bakerton Group and Underground Orchestra are new favorite groups: driving blues jazz, no vocals. Music for an interior landscape. Good writing music. Have other nominations? (My question is part of my unconfirmed belief that if I only find the right music, writing will be easy). My hero Michael Pollan says in Botany of Desire that he's listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I should try that.

So today (technically yesterday now), based only on "Eh, I like traditionally animated movies.", I decided to take a chance and buy a ticket for the Toronto International Film Festival's showing of The Powerpuff Girls Movie, despite having no familiarity with the franchise whatsoever. After having done so, I just want to ask why no one ever told me how fucking awesome The Powerpuff Girls is?
Despite being the oldest person there save parents in a cinema full of kids, this was probably one the best experiences I've had in a cinema in a long time. The movie was a blast and just had an energy about it that made me want to grin as if I'd been watching the series my whole life. Not to mention, unexpected feels, man.
After having watched it myself, I'm seriously bummed that it tanked when it was first released and got panned as I would have liked to see more movies get made. Oh well, at least I've got the series to watch now!

HAMMOND | A jury trial was set Thursday for a trio accused of being involved in a home sale scheme in Northwest Indiana.
Minas Litos, Adrian Tartareanu and Daniela Tartareanu are scheduled to stand trial Feb. 17. According to court records, they face federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and 16 counts of wire fraud.
The alleged scheme involved 40 houses, some of which were in Gary and Cedar Lake. The group, using a St. John business, would buy and sell homes and help buyers secure a loan from a third party without putting a down payment on the properties, according to court records.
The group is accused of defrauded lenders of more than $2.5 million. The three also are accused of fronting about $600,000 on down payments so that buyers could secure third-party loans.
After the properties were sold, many buyers defaulted on loans and homes were left vacant.
