My palate is a bit....incapacitated. Either my allergies have gone bonkers or I've acquired a very bad cold. I'm not typically a huge Merlot fan. However, I can tell that this wine is lovely. It has a very nice mouth feel. I can pick up some dark fruit (probably cherry or blackberry) and something earthy/woodsy (possibly cedar). I like it and bet it would be fabulous if I could really taste it. I forgot I had these... I'll retry it tomorrow and see if my palate is feeling any better. Cheers!

The MomoKawa Diamond was ~adequate~, but not anything special. Given the selection of fish we had, a higher end sake really was called for. For the price we paid, a fair deal, and I would most certainly get more, but choose my meal with additional care, as it just lacked the delicacy needed this evening.
Nothing. Too full from Roscoe's. Oy.
Whatever was served at sparkys nephews wedding. I have no idea what it was.
half a dozen different ciders last night. Late night of pubbing. I did find Scrumpies. We also had a Sancerre and a Shiraz with dinner.
2007 Château Paradis Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Terre des Anges 2007 Rockus Bockus Both still drinking wonderfully

Notes, please. Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale with the games. Maker's as a night cap.

Sure. Fruit forward with the now famous acidic zip backbone. It didn't seem quite as acidic as the 08 was and was nicely balanced. No noticeable alcohal and mildly tannic. It had no flaws but nothing really stood out either. I would say its hitting it's stride now and is great as a sipper or a food wine. I often think that Ty actually does blends better than his varietal releases. This was my last of the 09's and I am looking forward to trying the 2010.
Finally got to enjoy a Bremer Family Claret from WTSO (2003) with a grilled ribeye. Excellent combo and what a beautiful wine. I really felt like I was spoiling myself with this one, but at $25, it's a bit of a steal. Easily compares to many $50+ Napa Bordeaux blends.
Palouse 2008 Eclipse. Bordeaux blend from Washington. I'm rather impressed, actually. It's still evolving, and has some nice complexity.
Jason Stephens estate Cab. I don't know the vintage, but I'm guessing the latest. Nice sipping wine.
2010 Domaine Lafage Côtes du Roussillon Cuvée Centenaire Better than the last bottle, but still not a rebuy, even at $12.50.
NV Zeppelin Winery Central Coast Red This is flat out delicious! Just emailed to get 4 more
Ramsay Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007 Sleeper Sauvignon Blanc, 2009 (I think) ...and a 2003 Petit Verdot, whose name I can't seem to recall.
Sausalito (by Lang) 2008 Zin. Red fruits, a little cedar, nice acidity with a long finish. Great with pizza tonight.
J. Rickards Zin. it is super yummy!!
While I was out getting diagnosed with acute bronchitis, and getting prescriptions filled, LW was making a delicious pot of ratatouille. I thought I should do something useful, so I found a bottle of Dry Creek Vineyards 2004 The Mariner. Bought it on the 2008 rpm tour, and have been waiting for the right moment. It was worth the wait. Yum!
Double post. Blame it on the failure to comply with the pharmacist's instructions to avoid alcohol.
Probably an Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit
'09 Kent Rasmussen Esoterica Grenache Rosé
Tonic water, but they way the day has gone I should be drinking a fifth of the cheapest scotch out there. Nevermind, I am going to go to bed on a good note. Some blended JW gold. night all.
Expression 44 Roserock Pinot Noir. Surprisingly earthy and acidic (although this is one of my first OR Pinots) but lacking the flair I was expecting even after being open more than an hour. Solid wine, and I think with some age it'll improve a whole lot and develop the depth I was expecting.
Piro Piro Piccolo, with a mish-mash of veggies, sausage and curry. It's left-overs night and that actually worked.
I love left-overs night! I'm drinking Maker's Mark, contemplating whether I want to eat dinner at 10 or sleep hungry.
The second half of a bottle of Talluah Syrah. I really like that stuff at the $15 price point for dense grapey Syrah. It's not terribly meaty or smokey (McClean/Donati meet those flavors) but beautifully dense and berry. I think Wellington does it a half shade better but mot by much. Side note. I am really liking having a half bottle around. The fist thing I do upon opening a bottle is fill the half. Then a day or 4 later I have another half bottle open that has just a touch more oxygen than the bottle did when opened. It's generally drinkable immediately and has very little if any degradation of flavor. Highly recommended
Zelos Cabernet 2005 Vitaluce Vineyards Mendocino County ($13@ on WTSO). Toasty, with vanilla-edged black and red-currant aromas. Bottle age has mellowed this smoky red's ripe tannins and rich plum and black currant flavors. It was real bargain.
2004 Giacomo Grimaldi Barolo Sotto Castello di Novello

I agree, I am LOVING the Talluah wines!

Going to make a nice cold martini when I get home, and then probably move on to wine, though at this point I'm not sure which wine.

He gives his students amazing jump technique - Yags and TAT have both stated that she wasn't allowed to touch his technique at all (thank god...).
But now, the PCS are more important since back in COP, you needed amazing jumps and presence/charisma and you were fine.
Maybe gachanski should focus more on these personal issues mishin is talking about- unless skating is a distraction- but the results are poor.
We all know that Mishin will be pushing Tukta harder than ever after her disappointing fourth-place finish at Skate Canada. I think he was hoping for a repeat championship, and she didn't even make the podium...
I understand that she needs to get ready for TEB, but I hope he cuts her a break especially with the stress of puberty and a changing body already weighing on her. At any rate, she'll need to be pretty exemplary to make the GPF at this point.
How do you know that Mishin is pushing Liza and will give her stress? Mishin has said many times in interviews, he does not like to push skaters. It is up to the skaters to decide whether they want to push themselves.
Mishin is a co-coach of Liza, Svetlana Veretennikova is her long-time coach since she was little. From Liza's interview, she is a very loving and nurturing person. When Liza joined Mishin's group, Mishin has insisted that Veretennikova would continue to coach Liza and give her the support.
I don't know why a lot of people think that Mishin is a cruel and hard coach who is pushing hardly his skaters? You assumed something, but you don't have proofs. You should know the opinions of his pupils.
Has Liza disappointing results? Why? He was injured and it was not certain that she will be in SC. If you watched the race, you remember how happy were Liza and Mishin after Liza's skating. I think they were realistic and Liza brought the results what they expected.
The problem is Liza's weight, she hasn't grown too much, but became thicker.
She DOES NOT need to lose a few pounds. She simply needs to adjust to her body changes which are normal for any 15 year old. Her injury didn't help either. Her jumps are there, she needs more time and practice. She never relied on her tiny frame to rotate her jumps(like many skaters do), she has a great technique and that is why I believe her jumps will survive puberty without starving herself
yes Liza has very much good technique but it will be easier for her to adjust if she lose of a few pounds
borderline weight like Zhang or Flatt might give her problems because she is petite, I disagree with those who say her body will turn like Elene's
Elene had more squarish body Liza never had a big Toot toot also.
I read in Russian forum on reason Liza gained weight is because she eats too much Ice Cream.
If Liza will be ok with it, I hope Mishin monitors what she is eating or maybe she could skip meals/minimize intakes a day, that could help her imo
AlexRus said on another topic that she and her team are careful with her gaining and that she is keeping a strict diet, like other skaters(http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sho...-Trials/page11)
Skipping meals is bad and I hope she is advised against it. A strict diet on a 15 year old is very very unhealthy, since her body is still developing. Yes, her body shape could be troublesome buy health must come first IMO.
How would someone know what Liza eats, ice cream or not?
I cant possibly know what she eats but in the summer training I attended she was training at least 6 hours a day.
Anyway she is a 15 year old growing it is only normal she would get weight, even more than it should.

2008 Dodge Charger RT Hemi Shaker Scoop - Fresh Air Funnel Upgrade
Written by on June 1, 2009 Classic Design Concepts' New Hemi Shaker ScoopI'm lucky (OK, make that old) enough to remember marveling at the audacious Shaker scoops proudly protruding through the hoods of hot-rod E-Bodies on dealer lots way back in 1970. Little did I care back then that they were functional. At the time I just knew they were cool. The fact that they also provided a blast of cooler air to the cast-iron monster lurking beneath was of almost no importance to me, since as a dirt-poor 15-year-old, I couldn't afford even a Slant Six Dart in those days, let alone a testosterone-oozing Challenger or 'Cuda.
Fast forward to 2008, and some things never change. I still can't afford a '70 big-block E-Body, yet I still think a well-engineered shaker setup is the ultimate in cool, both aesthetically and functionally. So does George Huisman and his crew at Classic Design Concepts, and after all the R&D and tooling costs they've invested in the development of their LX-platform Shaker system, they hope you do too. For those unfamiliar with CDC, this is a Motor City company with a well earned reputation for design creativity and quality, serving both the aftermarket (that would be you) as well as Detroit's OEMs (that would be Chrysler, Ford, and GM). In other words, these guys make good stuff, as we're about to show you with the details and installation of CDC's new Shaker scoop system on an '08 Charger R/T. And with all the buzz and hype surrounding the new Challenger, CDC's product planners would have been crazy to make a setup that didn't fit the hot new coupe. They're not, and it does.
OK, so the current generation of 5.7- and 6.1-liter Hemis may not shake quite as exuberantly as their hulking 426-cid predecessors, but they sure look and breathe better with a CDC Shaker sitting up top, proudly broadcasting their Hemi-ness to the world.

I wonder if there is a local CPA or bookkeeping firm that might be willing to offer some accounting services to your program as a contribution. I am involved with a nonprofit and we have an accountant that we pay but we also have a couple of accounting financial types on our board of directors who help us as well. Something to think about. Your program certainly seems like it is well worth supporting. Does the school district have someone that could help you on that front?
Walter - are the accounting problems something that could be solved or lessened by having someone automate your spreadsheet more? Possibly build in some formulas that help you check for problems?Or does the college that you work with have an accounting major? Maybe you could round up some students to come in and help you with the books.deb

Bastille is home to Opéra Bastille, one of the finest entertainment venues in the world, the main attraction in the neighborhood. The Bercy Village in the south is the closest you can get to the French countryside in Paris. At the heart of Parc Bercy, the scenic Yitzhak Rabin gardens are another major attraction in the area. Don't miss Bois de Vincennes, a beautiful park with footpaths, scenic lake, and zoo. If you don't want to go that far, there's always Promenade Plantée.
Find out more about BastilleThe area around the Bourse (Stock Exchange) is one of the nicest old parts of Paris, and it is also one of the most authentic parts of the city. The pedestrian Rue Montorgueil is a food-lovers delight, while shopping in one of the stunning historic galleries - like La Gallerie Vivienne - is always a rewarding experience. Entertainment is ensured by the Théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique, and for culture buffs, la Bibliothèque Nationale de France is free to visit.
Find out more about BourseThe Champs-Elysées is a paradox – traffic-laden and lined with cinemas and car showrooms it may be, yet the perspective between Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe is undeniably grandiose. Business and smart apartments mix with the luxury fashion and blockbuster art shows at the Grand Palais. The streets behind the Avenue line up Haussmanian buildings, while elsewhere in the area you find museums, clubs, restaurants and chic pubs. Don't miss the elegant Église de la Madeleine.
Find out more about Champs ElyséesAround Île de la Cité, the heart and origin of the city, the Center of Paris is one of the busiest tourist hubs after Champs-Élysées. This is the site of the iconic Louvre, where Mona Lisa is at home. The area around Louvre boasts other landmarks, such as Colonne Vendôme, Palais Royal, Saint-Eustache church, and the historic La Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned. Aside Louvre, the list of world-class museums here includes l'Orangerie, and Musée des Arts décoratifs.
Find out more about LouvreClustered on Paris's tallest hill around the sugary white Sacré Coeur, Montmartre is famous for its cabarets (Moulin Rouge, Le Chat noir, Lapin Agile) and bistros, and its narrow streets and stairways. The neighborhood still has the charm of a provincial village, and unlike the more touristy spots in Paris, Montmartre is quiet, serene, with picturesque cottages, bohemian bars and quirky shops and galleries. Down the hill, Place Pigalle is a young trendy hangout.
Find out more about MontmartreThe Opera district is a popular shopping destination, for both tourists and locals. You'll find here the iconic Galeries Lafayette, as well as les Grands Boulevards full of flagship department stores. The magnificent setting for The Phantom of the Opera, Opéra Garnier and the Olympia Hall provide for quality entertainment. Other attractions in the area include Musée Grévin, ideal for children, and the shopping district of Pigalle.
Find out more about OperaOne of the best known of the city's central districts, Quartier Latin is the young heart of Paris, with many student hangouts around the Sorbonne university. Like anywhere else in Paris, you'll find numerous historic landmarks. Here, the Panthéon steals the show, and if you want to slow down and enjoy nature's wonders, visit the Paris Botanical Garden, and La Ménagerie. Quartier Latin couldn't be complete without its museums, and if you are in the mood for a shopping spree, try rue Mouffetard.
Find out more about Quartier LatinFrom the finest restaurants in the world, to historic landmarks and striking views, the neighborhood surrounding the Saint-Germain church has got it all. The romantic Jardin du Luxembourg is a local favorite, for its beautiful landscape surrounding the imposing Palais du Luxembourg, which houses the French Senate. For a taste of the Parisien without the price tag, head over to rue Vavin. And don't miss the Eglise Saint-Germain-des-Prés - the final resting place of Descartes.
Find out more about Saint- GermainThe Marais area used to be marshland and was one of the last areas of central Paris to be built up, leaving it with a spectacularly preserved legacy of gorgeous 17th- and early 18th-century golden stone mansions, many of which can now be visited as museums or art galleries. Among the iconic landmarks here, Notre-Dame de Paris and Hôtel de Ville are the most popular. You'll find a lively mix of unusual fashion shops, contemporary art galleries, gay bars and Jewish bakeries.
Find out more about The MaraisThe Tour Eiffel is perhaps the most popular sight in Europe. The area around the Tower is touristy, crowded and expensive. There's fine dining with a price tag; then luxury shopping at Le Bon Marché, the world's first department store; but also culture and history at Musée d'Orsay, and art at Musée Rodin and Musée du quai Branly. Don't forget your camera to take in the area's other exciting landmarks, including Hôtel des Invalides. For a more interesting take, check out Les Egouts de Paris.
Find out more about Tour EiffelThe lavish Tuileries Garden was once the royal garden of the Tuileries Palace. Today, it is mainly known as the gate to the Louvre, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Paris. Despite popularity, the place still keeps its romantic flair, and evenings it's an ideal landscape for a walk from the museum to the Champs-Elysées.

UX Is Not A Verb
"Okay, so how long to UX it?"
This question is asked of me in just about every estimating meeting we have.
Sure it's a joke, and I laugh. But I also cry just a little each time because, like any good joke, it has an element of truth to it.
UX has become ubiquitous. A search for "UX" on LinkedIn returns almost 200,000 results. But even with UX being everywhere you turn, it seems that many people, especially those not "in the industry" (i.e. clients), don't have a solid grasp of what UX actually means. Even those of us in the industry don't have a clear definition of what a UX designer is or does.
Look at any handful of UX Designer job descriptions out there and you'll come up with dozens of different descriptions and requirements: from wireframing/prototyping, to information architecture, to user research, to being able to create, "stunning [visual] designs," and on and on.
If we can't agree on how to define UX how can we expect our clients to understand? In order for us to avoid the headaches that can result from misaligned expectations and misunderstood roles and responsibilities we must, at the very least, be able to explain to our clients the importance of our craft.
They must understand that "UXing it" isn't just about churning out a few wireframes and making something look nice. It is about putting the user at the center of the design process and what that really entails. We also need to be able to explain why all of it is important to them.
All clients want to create a great experience for their users. If you were to ask, most of them would say they care about their users' needs. In fact, many of them will even tell you exactly what their users want. As we all know, however, that generally equates to "we know exactly what we think our users should want." This is where it falls on us as UX professionals to educate our clients and coworkers.
Our team was recently working with a client on an iPad application for members of their sales team. They explained the idea to us and it sounded like a very cool application. It was an interactive product configurator of sorts that, on the surface, made a lot of sense and would have been a lot of fun to build. The problem was, we knew that they hadn't really talked to their user base.
We explained to them the importance of gaining insight from actual users and convinced them that we should go out and meet with some reps and distributors to talk about their processes and the ideas for the application. After two days of talking with users it became very clear that the application that was being proposed was not at all what their users needed.
If we would have jumped straight into "UXing it" by creating wireframes, for example, we would have wasted countless hours and dollars building a product that no one actually wanted or needed. By taking a step back and viewing UX as a holistic process rather than a single action or deliverable, we were able to more clearly identify the problem and therefore come up with an appropriate solution.
Unfortunately, these situations are all too common. They can, however, serve as excellent illustrations that the UX process—loosely defined here as user-centric design—will not only result in a better experience, but it will improve the bottom line.
There are various formal UX processes out there that you can implement or borrow from. The Cooper Goal Directed Design Process is a great one. It can be a bit heavy from a time and deliverable standpoint, however, so it might not fit every budget. If you're interested in learning more, I'd highly recommend getting a copy of About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design.
Lean UX is another great approach to consider. Inspired by the Lean Startup methodology, Lean UX focuses less on deliverables and more on moving quickly from concept to something tangible that you can use to test your hypotheses. In his book Lean UX: Applying Lean Principles to Improve User Experience, author Jeff Gothelf lays out the Lean UX process and offers several examples of how it's been successfully used.
One particularly interesting story he shares involves a project he worked on with a team from PayPal. Armed with a prototype they had created in Axure, the product team broke up into smaller groups and hit the local malls testing the prototype with various people. When they got back together at the office that afternoon they were able to quickly identify which ideas had merit, and which ones did not. The very next day, they were able to begin refining the features they identified as important and start working them into the prototype for further testing. This example shows yet again the value of viewing UX as a process with the user at the center.
Too often, UX is narrowly defined as one of the many disciplines that make up UX as a whole (e.g., wireframing, information architecture, etc …). On your next project, if you're asked to "UX it," stand up for yourself and kindly explain that UX is a holistic process. It's not a box you can tick off a to-do list. Use the examples and processes noted above to explain and defend your position.
Hopefully, little by little, we can chip away at the idea that UX is a verb and move toward a shared understanding of what it really means to "UX it."

It has always annoyed me when people say "we're gonna do a usability". Usability is not a thing you do. It is an attribute of something else. Usability can be measured in a usability test that is something you do. It can be created by doing user-centered design.
Neither was PhotoShop a verb until more and more people started using it. Now you hear all the time, "this image was photoshopped." I don't think it's a bad thing, as long as the people who get paid to UX stuff know what UX really is (See, I just used it as a verb and a noun in the same sentence). I think the verb form is best used as office slang to describe what a UX Designer does.
I actually like UXing as a verb.
I use it on my cv as the most concise way to get across that I've done what I've done for a client, i.e. "UXed a site for XXXX."
I just happen to define UXing as everything, including research - not just the wireframing. I think your exclusion of research from UXing is a bit arbitrary - why do you think this is the case?
Your article then becomes about the necessity of user research, which, of course, I completely agree with. A more usable title might be "The necessity getting your stakeholders to understand that user research is essential in the UX process", but that sounds a bit boring, a bit obvious, and would probably attract fewer clicks.
I just used your article as a reading suggestion for the developer team in my company (IT).
I often find hard to make this cultural shift from the paradigm of the 90's: "The Web designer will take care of the interface" to the real inclusion of a design process. I believe it's not something that can't happen overnight.
Now my question is; isn't that all about teaching and selling the benefit of a good usability? If yes, what's your methodology to introduce UX within in a team that doesn't know that?
Usability is certainly part of the equation, but it's not the only concern. I've found that taking a collaborative approach to the design process can help in getting everyone to see the importance of UX in the overall process. For example, conduct a design studio session with the entire project team. This gets everyone in the room together working on the solution which helps create ownership and enthusiasm.

Posts: 1 A quote from Brideshead Revisited (Evelyn Waugh):
Well, Im the worst person to come to for advice. Ive never been short as you so painfully call it. And yet what else could you sya? Hard up? Penurious? Distressed? Embarrassed? Stony-broke? On the rocks? In Queer Street? Let us say in Queer Street and leave it that way.

Posts: 1 I've always associated the term with boxing, as in "...knocked him two blocks up Queer Street", usage in the same ball-park (ring? as discombobulated, disoriented, confused, confounded etc.

Loc: Bagshot Row, Hobbiton, The Shi... I found this week's theme very interesting and I look forward to the words.
As this is a forum of words, and this week's theme is offensive words, I wanted to add this thought... Something can only be offensive if someone takes offence to it... I am "offended" by segregation, so I am "Offended" by the term "African-American" the proper term is "American", more so when you realize that most of the people the term is applied to have never been to and are not from Africa...
You can try to Offend someone all you wish, if they do not take offence, you have not offended them... you may have made a fool of yourself, but you have given no offense.
Being "Offended" is giving power over yourself to another... if a fool uses a string of syllables that cause you to change how you are acting, that fool has controlled you... so who is the bigger fool?
Take no offense from this, because life is too short to allow fools to control it.

Loc: Vancouver, BC As a gay man, I wouldn't personally be offended by the use of the word "queer" in almost any context, particularly if someone knew me well enough that they were aware that I was gay. And overall, I presume people in general don't wish to offend. Only if the tone of the conversation was such that it was obviously used derogatorily, does it become offensive. One more point: the word "Queer" has been adopted by some as an alternative to the awfully pedantic LBGTQ-blahblahblah in literature and reporting. "Queer" has also now been used as a verb, meaning to make a situation queer by being completely out, preventing everyone thinking heteronormatively, e.g. I may actually have a husband, not a wife.

Loc: Vancouver, BC Interesting and very valuable point. If everyone could pull this off, so many Politically Correct issues and arguments would die on the vine. And many of them I consider a bane, like recently, the beer label "Albino Rhino" was pulled because someone with albinism considered it offensive. Hey, I'd love it if someone created a label "Queer Beer", lol.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Good reasoning Hamfast. With offenses it is the way you take it that decides offense or or no offense. In the case of "African American", "Irish American", "African German", "Moroccan" Dutch or "Bosnian French", in all cases it's a good thing to absorb an intended insult as a compliment and be proud of one's ancestry or disposition or profession.
The more tolerant a society, the less need of political correctness. On any issue.

Loc: Bagshot Row, Hobbiton, The Shi... BranShea,
Perhaps we need to look at how a hyphenated name is applied and by whom...
If I apply it to myself or you to yourself, it may indicate pride as you said. But if the hyphenated name is applied to us by someone else, it is more likely to indicate ignorance (of our background) or an attempt to put us in a group... to segregate us by some unimportant feature...
Oh, and TonyF, what about your beer is queer? does it taste a tad bit funny? Does it have some other odd feature? We could add an extra bit of flavor and some reddish coloring and call it "Ginger Beer"... make it stouter and call it "Ginger Ale" oh, wait, that is taken...

Posts: 1 When our children were small, we told them that there were no "bad" words, but that any word could be a bad one if it was used to hurt someone. We all understand that most of the words considered bad in our language (or society) can be, and are, used in different contexts where they are not bad. And if I call someone a "cabbagehead" and my intent is to make them feel bad, to hurt them, to bully them, then "cabbagehead" is a bad word!

Posts: 1 Niggardly ("stingy") has a Scandinavian derivation that predates our N-word by hundreds of years. Chaucer used it in the 14th century. It's a good word but I refrain from using it simply because it raises eyebrows even among educated people who misunderstand the meaning.

Fire Lord
this wiki
The Fire Lord is the supreme leader of the Fire Nation, who may be either male or female, and is usually a powerful firebender. The Fire Lord resides in the Royal Palace, located in the Fire Nation Capital. The title has been held by Izumi since 167 AG, after her father, Zuko, abdicated the throne.[1]
In the distant past, the Fire Nation was ruled as a theocracy led by the Fire Sages. The position of Fire Lord during this time merely signified the head sage; however, subsequent holders of the title desired to hold greater power and split away from the sages, beginning the Fire Nation's Royal Family lineage. Afterward, the positions of Great Sage and High Sage were established to replace the Fire Lord's original role as head of the Fire Sages. Despite initial animosity between the Fire Sages and the Royal Family, the balance of power had reached a state of equilibrium by the time of Fire Lord Sozin, who subjugated the sages to the Fire Lord's rule.[2]
During Fire Lord Azulon's rule, Prince Iroh was first in line to the throne. After Iroh's only son, Lu Ten, was killed during the Siege of Ba Sing Se, Iroh abandoned the mission and returned home. Prince Ozai, the second born son, called a meeting with Azulon during which he attempted to persuade his father to name him as heir and strip Iroh of his birthright. According to Azula, Azulon became furious at this suggestion and told Ozai that he would have to "know the pain of losing a first-born son", as Iroh did, by killing his own son, Zuko.[3] However, due to Ursa's interference, Ozai instead killed his father with a poison concocted by her[4] and was subsequently crowned Fire Lord, which was said to be Azulon's dying wish.[3]
As Fire Lord, Ozai carried on the established custom, upholding the Fire Lord's absolute rule over the nation and his ability to dictate military decisions. Near the Hundred Year War's conclusion, however, Fire Lord Ozai broke with this tradition by establishing a personal position known as the Phoenix King, crowning himself the supreme ruler of the world. Having passed over his first born son, Prince Zuko, he granted the position of Fire Lord to his daughter, Princess Azula, entrusting her to lead the Fire Nation in his absence.[5] However, upon the arrival of Sozin's Comet, Zuko and Katara interrupted Azula's coronation, and Zuko declared his intention to be crowned Fire Lord, provoking Azula to challenge him to an Agni Kai for the throne that resulted in his victory.[6]
After Phoenix King Ozai's defeat at the hands of Avatar Aang, and Zuko and Katara's victory over Azula, Zuko was crowned the new Fire Lord, becoming the youngest known individual to achieve this status. He vowed to begin an era of peace and love, in which he strove to restore the Fire Nation's honor and to rebuild the war-torn world. In an effort to accomplish his goals, he formed the Harmony Restoration Movement along with the Avatar and Earth King Kuei in order to return the Fire Nation colonials in the Earth Kingdom back to the Fire Nation.[7] Afterward, with the assistance of Avatar Aang, Fire Lord Zuko also founded Republic City.[8] He remained the leader of the Fire Nation until 167 AG, when he abdicated in favor of his daughter, Izumi,[1] making her the first known female Fire Lord.
Position and powers
The Fire Lord wields absolute power over the Fire Nation's policies, and their orders are to be carried out immediately and without question. The Fire Lord is a central player in the workings of government and is intimately involved in affairs of state. During the Hundred Year War, many Fire Lords took an active part in the military conquests of their nation, either by direct service or involvement in strategic planning. Fire Lords Sozin and Azulon were considered to be particularly effective tacticians.
The position of Fire Lord is hereditary, traditionally passed from parent to eldest child when the reigning Fire Lord dies or steps down.[1] In order to prevent wars of succession between rival siblings, many Fire Lords designated their first born as Crown Prince or Princess while living, thus confirming their choice of successor. However, despite this clear designation, some heirs have not become Fire Lord due to intrigues within the royal house; Crown Prince Iroh was passed over after his younger brother, Ozai, poisoned Fire Lord Azulon,[3][4] and Crown Prince Zuko was passed over by his father in favor of his younger sister, Azula.[5]
However, in the case that there are several claimants to the throne and no way to negotiate or mediate anymore, it is custom to fight an Agni Kai for the throne. The winner will be crowned official Fire Lord and the loser has to step down.[6]
- Main article: Fire Nation Royal Family
The Royal Family includes its head, the Fire Lord; a spouse, if present; and their children. The children of the Fire Lord are referred to as 'Prince' or 'Princess', as is anyone married to the Fire Lord's children.
Known Fire Lords
This list includes all known recognized Fire Lords who were officially crowned.
- Sozin's father – Unknown ~ 58 BG
- Sozin – 58 BG ~ 20 AG[9]
- Azulon – 20 ~ 95 AG
- Ozai – 95 ~ 100 AG
- Zuko – 100 ~ 167 AG[1]
- Izumi – 167 AG ~ present[1]
Known temporary regents of the Fire Nation
Even though only recognized Fire Lords are the official rulers of the Fire Nation, their rule was not unchallenged over the centuries. There were fights over the succession, usurpation, and temporary representatives who led the nation when the Fire Lord was absent. This list includes unrecognized Fire Lords, and those who were not Fire Lords but still ruled the Fire Nation for a certain time.
- Azula – 100 AG, as Princess Regent: appointed successor of Fire Lord Ozai, but challenged and defeated by her elder brother, Zuko.
- Iroh – 101/102 AG,[10] as Interim Fire Lord: appointed representative by Fire Lord Zuko during his search for his long-lost mother.
The Fire Lord's most common set of clothing are robes. These robes contain multiple shades of red and black, as well as ornate gold trimmings and are supposed to be worn in conjunction with the Fire Lord headpiece.[11]
The Fire Lord has always worn a set of ornate robes, but the design has changed slightly throughout the generations. Fire Lords Zuko, Ozai, Azulon, Sozin, and Sozin's father all wore a similar set of robes. Fire Lord Sozin's grandfather, however, wore a less ornate set of robes, as seen in his official portrait.[2]
Fire Lord Zuko has worn multiple varying versions of the ornate robes.
During his temporary reign over the Fire Nation while Zuko was out looking for his mother, Iroh wore another slightly less ornate version of the robes.[10]
- Main article: Royal Gallery
Located within the Fire Nation Royal Palace is a hallway that contains portraits of each Fire Lord. Each portrait depicts the Fire Lord in a way that emphasizes the advancements made during that respective Fire Lord's rule. Azulon's portrait, for example, depicts him standing on top of a turtle-like creature, symbolizing the many victories the Fire Nation had against the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes during Azulon's rule.
- In official sources, both "Fire Lord" and "Firelord" are used; either spelling is acceptable.
- All known Fire Lords have the letter "Z" in their names.
- All known male Fire Lords also have the letter "O" in their names.
- Sozin served the longest known term as Fire Lord, spanning seventy-eight years.
- Ozai served the shortest known term as Fire Lord, and he is also the only known Fire Lord who was deposed.
- Zuko is the only known Fire Lord to willingly retire from his position, as his grandfather and great-grandfather both ruled until their deaths and his father was forcefully removed from power.
- Iroh served as interim Fire Lord for a short period of time while Zuko went to search for his mother Ursa. During his rule, he declared a "National Tea Appreciation Day".[10]

Cultural Cognition of Scientific ConsensusDan M. KahanYale University - Law School; Harvard University - Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics Hank Jenkins-SmithUniversity of Oklahoma Donald BramanGeorge Washington University - Law School; Cultural Cognition Project February 7, 2010 Journal of Risk Research, Vol. 14, pp. 147-74, 2011 Yale Law School, Public Law Working Paper No. 205 Abstract: Why do members of the public disagree - sharply and persistently - about facts on which expert scientists largely agree? We designed a study to test a distinctive explanation: the cultural cognition of scientific consensus. The "cultural cognition of risk" refers to the tendency of individuals to form risk perceptions that are congenial to their values. The study presents both correlational and experimental evidence confirming that cultural cognition shapes individuals' beliefs about the existence of scientific consensus, and the process by which they form such beliefs, relating to climate change, the disposal of nuclear wastes, and the effect of permitting concealed possession of handguns. The implications of this dynamic for science communication and public policy-making are discussed.

Disable swap in /etc/fstab and you will get 5-6 boottime with ssd.
Phoronix: If You're Lucky, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Can Boot Faster
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" can boot faster... sometimes. If you are not lucky, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS can boot more than twice as slow as Ubuntu 10.04, the previous LTS release. Here are boot performance results of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running on six distinct notebooks and comparing the Bootchart results upon clean installations of Ubuntu Linux going back as far as six years from the days of the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" release.
Disable swap in /etc/fstab and you will get 5-6 boottime with ssd.
What's the problem with swap? It doesn't even use it during the boot...
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
It's not that it uses swap during the boot, the problem is that it has to initialize the swap which is what takes the extra time.
The two biggest things to decrease your boot times would be to make swap much smaller, e.g. 256 MB's (or just get rid of it altogether, I myself have noticed no problems removing it) and build all the modules you need into your kernel so you do not need the "initrd" part of booting. With these steps you could cut your boot in half sometimes.
like here...
Are you saying that
a) U is stupid and runs mkswap every boot
b) swapon on a SSD is somehow really slow?
I honestly have no idea except that Micheal could do some benchmarks and post whatever results he findscuraga
Are you saying that
a) U is stupid and runs mkswap every boot
b) swapon on a SSD is somehow really slow?
SystemD is the way to go for a faster boot
Not to boot is the fastest way to boot. Suspend works just fine here, having the system up and running in the previous state in less than 2 seconds.
Seriously, who cares about boot times? How often do you boot that it really matters?
