Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang
this wiki
- This article is about the fourth and final episode of the Book Three finale. For the titular character, see Aang. For other similar uses, see Sozin's Comet (disambiguation).
"Today this war is finally over! I promised my uncle that I would restore the honor of the Fire Nation. And I will. The road ahead of us is challenging. A hundred years of fighting has left the world scarred and divided. But with the Avatar's help we can get it back on the right path and begin a new era of love and peace." |

Episode guide | |||
Image gallery (71) |
Ozai accidentally unlocks Aang's chakra, causing him to enter the Avatar State. The Order of the White Lotus successfully liberates Ba Sing Se, while Sokka and Toph manage to disable all of the airships. Katara defeats Azula and heals Zuko's injuries. Aang in the Avatar State easily overwhelms Ozai, yet still refuses to kill him. He uses an ancient form of bending, known as energybending, to strip Ozai of his firebending powers, keeping true to his beliefs and defeating the Phoenix King without taking his life. Newly appointed Fire Lord Zuko declares the War over, with Aang and his friends celebrating together. Aang and Katara share a romantic kiss on the balcony as the series draws to an end.
Ozai continuously blasts away at Aang's earth shield and taunts him. Meanwhile, on an airship within the fleet, Toph metalbends the rudder to make the ship spiral into the others. A Fire Nation soldier on the ship spots them and tries to blast both Toph and Sokka off using firebending. They evade his attack only to fall off the side of the airship. Sokka tries to break the fall using his sword, but instead lands on a platform which breaks his leg. Toph is left dangling off the edge, holding Sokka's hand. Two firebenders approach to attack them on either side, so he uses his boomerang and sword to ward them off, losing them both. Even so, more firebenders come, and Sokka and Toph are seemingly doomed. They are saved, however, by another incoming airship, piloted by Suki, on which they land.
Ozai overwhelms Aang's stone sphere with a charged fire bomb, and causes the Avatar to nearly lose consciousness from the heat. Ozai charges up an attack and destroys the sphere, blasting Aang back and causing the scar on his back to collide against a jagged rock, which unlocks the chakra blocking Aang from entering the Avatar State. Ozai approaches Aang to finish him off, but Aang's glowing hand reaches out and grabs him by the beard. He emerges from the rubble in the Avatar State and easily shrugs off Ozai's counterattack, blasting him against a rock with a powerful gust of air. Ozai watches as Aang ascends into the sky and calls forth the elements, air, fire, earth, and finally water, which revolve in concentrated rings around Aang.
In Ba Sing Se, the Order of the White Lotus is successfully liberating the city. Bumi takes down several Fire Nation tundra tanks and Iroh burns down the Fire Nation flag hanging from the Earth Kingdom palace.
Aang, possessed by the Avatar State, charges at Ozai and knocks him into the sky, but Ozai recovers before Aang can get to him again. Ozai flees by using firebending to propel himself at great speeds as Aang chases after him. Aang earthbends small fragments of rock, which he fires at him like bullets, though Ozai barely manages to evade them all and continues fleeing.
Back at the Fire Nation capital, Azula relentlessly shoots fire and lightning at Katara, and drives her away from any source of water. She taunts Prince Zuko, who is collapsed on the ground in shock. Though Katara finds water to bend, Azula is too quick for her attacks and the waterbender is forced to flee from her immense flames. Eventually, she discovers chains and water underneath a grate in the plaza and lures Azula above the grate. She traps herself and Azula inside a large splash of frozen water barely a second before Azula was going to hit her with another attack. Katara unfreezes the water around herself, swims around in the splash, and binds Azula's hands together to the grate with the chains. She melts the remaining water and runs to Zuko to heal him. He weakly thanks Katara, and she says she should be thanking him for protecting her. Azula sees her brother rise, still alive, and finally goes completely insane, firebending from her mouth wildly before rolling around on the ground, screaming and crying uncontrollably. Zuko and Katara silently look upon what has become of the once-mighty Azula with pity and horror.
Aang, still controlled by the Avatar State, continues to pursue the evading Phoenix King and tries to crush him between two stone pillars with earthbending, but Ozai manages to avoid the collision in time. Ozai tries to counterattack, but his attempts continually fail against the unbelievable power of all the past Avatars. Aang catches him with waterbending and subdues him by earthbending shackles onto his arms and legs. Aang states with the voices of all the previous Avatars that Ozai and his forefathers have devastated the balance of the world, and he must now pay the ultimate price: death. The possessed Aang proceeds to deliver the final blow, a combination of all four elements into one attack, but at the last instant Aang regains control over himself and leaves the Avatar State.
Aang releases Ozai from his bonds, saying that he is not going to let the fight end that way. Ozai mocks Aang once more, that despite being the most powerful being in the world, he is still weak. As Aang's back is turned, he tries to strike him with firebending, but Aang senses his movement, via Toph's signature earthbending technique, and quickly disables him with earthen shackles. Aang remembers what the lion turtle taught him, and uses the technique to bend Ozai's inner energies, risking being totally destroyed himself. Indeed, Aang's blue energy is nearly consumed by Ozai's orange energy, but he manages to overcome it. A pillar of blue light shoots into the sky, similar to the beam of light that appeared when Aang was freed from the iceberg.
Exhausted from the ordeal, Ozai pathetically tries to attack Aang again, but finds he cannot firebend at all. Aang explains he removed Ozai's firebending powers so he cannot hurt anyone anymore. Demonstrating his new found control over the Avatar State, Aang waterbends the tide to rise and douse the burning land. Momo flies back to him and lands on his shoulder.
Sokka, Toph, and Suki meet up with Aang as Sozin's Comet departs Earth. They congratulate Aang and wonder if Ozai, collapsed on the ground, is dead. Ozai snarls he is still alive, and Aang tells them he took away his firebending. Sokka seizes the opportunity to taunt Ozai and calls him "The Loser Lord." Ozai weakly tries to defend his title as the Phoenix King, but passes out again from exhaustion, prompting Toph to insult his title by calling him the "Phoenix King of Getting His Butt Whooped." Suki weakly tries, "King of the Guys Who Don't Win?" Toph advises that she leave the name-calling to them. The sky fades from bright red to the dark of night as the comet fades into space once again.
The next day at the Fire Nation palace, Zuko is trying to dress himself for his coronation as Fire Lord, but is having trouble due to his injuries. To his surprise, Mai arrives and helps him, and he is glad to see she was released from prison. She and Zuko kiss, but afterward Mai starkly warns him not to break up with her ever again.
Everyone is soon reunited in the Fire Nation capital city. Friends who were imprisoned have been set free. Katara and Sokka find their father Hakoda, who tells them he is the proudest father in the world, and that their mother would be proud of them, too. Sokka is distressed to see Ty Lee dressed in uniform among the Kyoshi Warriors. Paranoid, he assumes she is disguising herself again until Suki tells him Ty Lee officially joined. Ty Lee happily explains she bonded with the warriors in prison and after a few chi blocking lessons, she was allowed to join and be "best friends forever".
Zuko approaches Aang before his coronation, and the two of them reminisce about how different their lives were a year earlier: Zuko obsessed with capturing the Avatar and Aang frozen in a block of ice, now they are friends. Aang cannot believe how different the world is, and Zuko comforts him saying the world will be even more different once they rebuild it together. They hug, and the coronation begins in the plaza. Zuko addresses the crowd that the War is now over and gives Aang the credit for saving the world as everyone cheers. Zuko is crowned Fire Lord and declares the start of a new era of love and peace.
Zuko later pays his imprisoned father a visit. Ozai, ragged and defeated, sarcastically remarks the new Fire Lord has graced him with his presence. Zuko remarks that he should be glad that Aang let him live. He tells Ozai that banishment was the best thing that ever happened to him, as it put him on the right path. He hopes perhaps being in prison will give Ozai the same chance for redemption. Ozai sees through Zuko's purpose and asks why he is really visiting him. Zuko gravely demands Ozai tell him where his mother Ursa is.
Sometime later in Ba Sing Se, life has improved in the world. The stack of Fire Nation tanks Bumi destroyed is being used by children for earthbending games. At the Jasmine Dragon, Zuko helps serve tea to the gang, including Mai and Iroh, as they all relax together. Sokka is painting a group portrait to remember the good times, but it is crudely drawn. Katara complains that her oversize hair loopies make her look like Momo, Zuko grumbles that his hair was not that spiky as portrayed in the drawing, Mai comments that she looks like a man, Suki is shown firebending, and Iroh has a big stomach. Iroh tells them he has really trimmed down his weight and Toph tells them she thinks they all look perfect, a joke on her blindness which causes everyone to laugh.
Aang smiles and steps outside the tea shop to pet Appa. Katara follows him out, and they both warmly embrace before sharing a passionate kiss.

This event was called "Countdown to the Comet".
Avatar Extras
- Main article: Avatar Extras for Book Three: Fire
Series continuity
- The Earth Kingdom outfits Zuko and Iroh wear at the end are the same ones they wore in "The Crossroads of Destiny".
- The line of Avatars that appears in Aang's vision when the final chakra is opened, is the same line that disappeared, in the reverse order, when Roku warned Aang that should he be killed in the Avatar State, the Avatar Cycle would be broken, in the episode "The Avatar State". This also refers back to how Azula's lightning fire originally blocked the final chakra as well as nearly killed Aang and ended the cycle forever in "The Crossroads of Destiny".
- Aang becomes a fully realized Avatar with his control over the Avatar State.
- When Aang fought Ozai in the Avatar State, he created five enormous fire whips, a feat even Ozai could not perform. This links back to the episode, "Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku", where the Fire Temple sanctuary door could only be opened single-handedly by the five simultaneous fire blasts of a fully-realized Avatar.
- When Aang raises the tide to put out the forest fire caused by Ozai, he uses an Avatar State-enhanced version of the first waterbending move he learned, taught to him by Katara in "The Waterbending Scroll".
- The remainder of Zuko's conversation with Ozai is shown in full in The Promise Part 1, and the question of Ursa's whereabouts is answered in The Search trilogy.
- In Sokka's painting, Toph's face is the same as in her wanted poster in "The Runaway", and Zuko's hair is drawn similar to the last hair style his actor version had in "The Ember Island Players".
- In "Sozin's Comet, Part 1: The Phoenix King", Aang hoped to use glue to stick Ozai's arms and legs so he could not firebend. Aang ends up achieving that objective through energybending.
- When Sokka is holding Toph by the hand as they lean over the edge of the airship ledge, their hands begin to slip until they are holding on by the fingers. In the next shot, they are holding each other's wrists.
- After Azula injures Zuko with lightning, she moves to the roof and begins firing lightning at Katara. When the camera cuts to Zuko lying on the ground with Azula saying, "Zuzu, you don't look so good!", she is nowhere to be seen. The next shot shows her back on the roof.
- In the line of Avatars that appears, Air Nomad Avatars can be seen in the Avatar State, yet their airbender tattoos are not glowing.
- When Aang creates fire in the Avatar State, his body appears more muscular; when he is shown again, his body retains its normal build.
- When Katara turns Zuko on his back to heal him, his arms are outstretched. In the next frame, his arms are by his sides.
- As Aang prepares to take Ozai's life, he suddenly stops because he is unable to do so and exits the Avatar State. However, the arrow tattoo on his head remains glowing even when the arrow tattoos on his hands stop glowing.
- When Sokka and Katara find their father in the crowd, Haru changes places suddenly to appear in two shots.
- In the end, when Sokka accuses Ty Lee of pretending to be a Kyoshi Warrior, Ty Lee is shown with her golden fan on the wrist of her left arm. When Ty Lee hugs two of the Kyoshi Warriors, however, the golden fan on her wrist is gone.
- Ty Lee says that she and the Kyoshi Warriors "really bonded in prison." However, in "The Boiling Rock, Part 1", Suki had mentioned that the remaining Kyoshi Warriors had not been imprisoned at the Boiling Rock.
- During Zuko's coronation as Fire Lord, Toph is seen seated on The Hippo's shoulders. When the shot switches to a view of the entire crowd, she can be seen on the ground beside The Duke.
- When Zuko and Aang overlook the crowd after Zuko says, "The real hero is the Avatar," the crowd is heard cheering and clapping, but when the shot cuts to Zuko and Aang, no one can be seen clapping.
- When the scene changes to look at Aang as the crowd is applauding him, the part of Aang's sash that snakes around his waist is missing.
- During Zuko's coronation, part of his headpiece constantly changes colors between red and orange.
- When Zuko confronts Ozai in his cell, his eyes appear brown.
- Sokka's drawing of everyone at the end of the episode does not include Momo.
- In the Finnish dub, when Suki asks why Sokka painted her firebending, it is actually Toph's Finnish voice actor who asks the question. The dubbing error is even more apparent considering that Toph is blind and thus could not have seen Sokka's painting.
- When Aang opens his eyes while he and Katara are hugging at the end of the episode, the fabric around him is orange; this is incorrect because Katara had her arms around his neck, thus the fabric should be green.
- This episode was part of an event called "Countdown to the Comet". The new episodes of Avatar began airing on July 14, starting with "The Western Air Temple", followed by "The Firebending Masters", The Boiling Rock parts one and two, "The Southern Raiders", "The Ember Island Players", and finally Sozin's Comet parts one through four.
- During San Diego Comic-Con 2008, it was revealed that a sequence where Zuko found his mother, Ursa, was sketched and made into a storyboard, but did not make it to production due to a request by Michael Dante DiMartino.
- The series' music editors and composers Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn were nominated for a Golden Reel award for "Best Sound Editing in a Television Animation" for their work in this episode.[1]
- This is the third episode in which Aang speaks while in the Avatar State. The previous two episodes were "The Siege of the North, Part 2" and "The Desert".
- After Aang utilized energybending on Ozai, the resulting blue column of light produced mirrors the light that emerged when Aang was freed by Katara in "The Boy in the Iceberg".
- This is the only episode to use a different track in the credits.
- The order Aang summons the elements to himself in the Avatar State - air, fire, earth, and water - is the reverse order of the elements shown in the intro.
- When Aang is in his sphere of all four elements, the elements are in order from closest to farthest from Aang in the way that Aristotle said the element place themselves in nature - earth, water, air, fire.[2]
- Several never-before-seen bending techniques were used in this episode, including remote waterbending, compressed rock bullets, long-range multiple fire whips, and strong winds capable of eroding a large rock pillar.[3]
- Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko's formal admission of their friendship, considering their past as enemies, contrasts the relationship between Fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku who started as friends and over time became enemies.
- Aside from Aang's nightmare,[4] this is the only time he is seen firebending while in the Avatar State, and due to Sozin's Comet, this is his most powerful display of firebending in the series.
- While in the Avatar State, the slicing motion Aang makes to deal the final blow to Ozai is the same motion he made in his nightmares about being in the Avatar State.[5]
- During the scene in which Sokka and Toph are at the mercy of the Imperial Firebenders, Toph is seen crying about her and Sokka's seemingly imminent death. This is the fourth time Toph is seen crying in the series, the others being in "The Blind Bandit", when Team Avatar departs from her house on her father's orders, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", when her appearance is mocked by Star and her friends, and "The Runaway", over her strained relationship with her parents.
- Both this and the first episode of the series have titles that refer to Aang, pointing to his evolution throughout the series. The first episode's title, "The Boy in the Iceberg", shows that Aang is young and much more vulnerable while this episode's title shows that Aang has grown to be a powerful, fully realized Avatar.
- This is the third time an Avatar has been in the Avatar State twice in one episode. The first time was in "The Storm" when Aang enters the state momentarily while talking about his past and again when he is rescuing everyone during the storm. The second time was in "The Avatar and the Fire Lord" when Avatar Roku went into the Avatar State to destroy the Royal Palace and entered the state once more when fighting a volcanic eruption.
- This is the only episode of the third season in which Aang enters the Avatar State.

Is refurb ok on a vacuum or is it not worth it? This is the vacuum I've been waiting on but I'm hesitant.
pfautzj wrote:Is refurb ok on a vacuum or is it not worth it? This is the vacuum I've been waiting on but I'm hesitant.
I bought a refurbished Dyson tank vacuum. It works fantastic and they even offered me a new tank if the one I had wasn't "clean" enough for me.
It really sucks. ;) I bought this same model from woot! awhile ago. It was a refurb and sadly needed some more work done but Dyson was great about it and it didn't cost me a penny. Quick and easy and I was back to vacuuming.
pfautzj, I have a refurbed Dyson I bought online in 2005. It's still working like a charm. Plus, the 2 times I've had a question, Dyson's customer service phone line has always been more than helpful. HTH!
Isn't the DC33 better? Woot's Moofi has it at the same price http://moofi.woot.com/offers/dyson-dc33-multi-floor-vacuum-12

Assuming that since this beast is purple, it is probably the DC17 Animal model, here is the comparo: Brushbar Control Type The brush control button of DC17 is located next to the ON/OFF switch, so you do not have to bend down to control; whereas the brushbar control of DC33 is on the cleaner head thus you have to bend down to turn it on/off. Suction Power DC17 has a suction power of 220 air watts while DC33 has 240 air watts. Tools DC17 comes with a mini turbine head, carpet care kit, and low reach floor tool, whereas DC33 comes with combination accessory tool and stair tool. Bin Capacity DC17 has a bin capacity of 0.625 gallons while DC33 has a 0.61 gallon bin. Weight DC33 is lighter than DC17. DC17 weighs 20.79 pounds while DC33 weighs 17.6 pounds.

I got a dyson refurb before. There was a problem with one part but Dyson replaced it free of charge, no questions asked -- they just shipped it to me. Worth the savings. I am happy with the vacuum. Has been working for about four years now.

I think 5 already catapults you into "crazy vacuum man" territory. :-)
I bought one of these, new, in 2004 when I bought my house. 8 years on, it still runs great. Wouldn't trade it for any other. Well worth the price, and Dyson fully supports their entire line. You get their product, you get their guarantee it's good.

no they upped that to 6 now ,have 6 your crazy vacuum man.lol
Does anyone else find the "First sucker: " comment ironic on these vacuum sales?
Just bought the 33 on Woot last week, got it on Tuesday. You can't tell it from new coming out of the box. It's quieter than I thought it would be. Works great, my wife vacuumed all the rugs right away to see how much it picked up. She's happy, so I'm happy! I'll be sending in the registration card, hoping to score the 5 year (vs 6 month) warranty. Wish me luck!
Bought a refurb Dyson on Woot a couple of years ago and it's still going strong - was a great deal...
No, I'm pretty sure 5 did that. ;-)
rvnrock wrote:Bought a refurb Dyson on Woot a couple of years ago and it's still going strong - was a great deal...
Ditto! Couldn't be happier with my refurbed Dyson from Woot! (for half a dozen years now).
What's the difference between a DC-17 and a DC-14 other than 3
Well worth it. We have two now, both from Woot. Dyson is the best.
We have two German Shepherds. When it's raining, they play downstairs where there is carpet. After buying our first Dyson on Woot, I tested it. Used a top of the line Hoover with a bag first. Then went over the same carpet with the Dyson. The Dyson tank was filled with dog hair that, obviously, the Hoover couldn't handle. I'm a believer. Be skeptical of Dyson critics. They have an agenda.
Grr, one second too slow. I should've pulled the trigger 5 min ago. I refreshed the page, clicked the buy button, but it sold out while i was confirming my sign in info. Booo!
Same here :-(
Look at it this way. It's not like they'll never sell a Dyson again,... unless someone knows something I don't. Seeing they already brought a second sale on regular woot, and given their pattern the last few weeks, there might be another sellout woot item coming up soon. Maybe another Dyson.
RATS! Missed it! Stupid work email, taking all my time...
PLEASE, let this be the last Dyson ever sold on any of the woot affiliated sites.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, but I come here quit a bit to get discussion ideas for when I chair a meeting. This is a great board!!
So anyhow, I chair tonight and we have been having meetings on being humble and humility for the last couple of weeks. I was trying to think of a different topic while staying in step 7, but moving away from a humility discussion. If that makes any sense. I try to make my meeting topics different than the norm, so that everone stays interested and wants to share. Anyhow, my mind has gone blank, maybe I need more coffee. Do y'all have any suggestions?

Indians hoping for home cooking against M's
Bauer to face Iwakuma in Cleveland's return to Progressive Field
The Indians return to Progressive Field for the first time since the All-Star break when they host the Mariners on Tuesday.
The series opener follows an 11-game road trip that saw the Tribe go 5-6. Despite losing four of their last five and six of eight, a reversal of fortune could be on the way as the Indians kick off an eight-game homestand.
The club's 29-19 home record is the best in the American League Central, and it will look to Trevor Bauer to improve on that against Seattle.
Most of the Bauer's success has come at home this season, where the 23-year-old right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.82 ERA in seven starts. In his last outing, Bauer (4-5) went six innings and gave up three runs on six hits in a loss to the Twins despite tossing his ninth quality start.
"He threw the ball well," catcher Roberto Perez said. "Some of their hitters just found the hole. I don't think they hit the ball hard, but they just found the hole and scored some runs. You can't do anything about it when you make pitches."
The Mariners will hand the ball to Hisashi Iwakuma as they begin a six-game road swing.
The 33-year-old right-hander is making his 17th start of the season and the third of his career against the Indians. He's registered a 4.32 ERA over 15 1/3 innings against the Tribe, but he has not factored into a decision.
Iwakuma pitched seven innings and allowed four earned runs -- all in the third inning -- in his first loss in nearly a month on Thursday against the Orioles. He's 5-3 with a 3.09 ERA in his last 10 starts.
"I thought he did a good job. He was a little up to start the game and was able to get away with it a little bit," catcher Mike Zunino said. "But after that third inning ... he did a good job of adjusting."
Prior to the loss, Iwakuma had gone 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in four starts this month.
Indians: Kipnis rests on Sunday
Manager Terry Francona worked with second baseman Jason Kipnis on scheduling a day off during this road trip. With an off-day on Monday, they decided Sunday's game was an opportune time to give Kipnis a break.
Kipnis had been mired in a brief slump on the team's recent road trip and acknowledged he remains somewhat limited by the right oblique injury that sent him to the disabled list in early May. Francona said the issue is not severe, but it has probably taken a toll on the second baseman's production at the plate.
"I don't think he's in pain," Francona said on Sunday. "I do think there's been balls that he usually gets to hitting-wise that he has either fouled them or swung through them. I think he's frustrated, which I totally get. But, like good players, they play. I'm not sure you can always be 100 percent, or we'd never have a team."
Entering Sunday's contest in Kansas City, the 27-year-old Kipnis was batting .247 with five home runs, 15 stolen bases, 21 extra-base hits, 33 RBIs and 39 runs scored through 78 games. He was hitting .129 (4-for-31) in his past eight games after going 4-for-10 in the first two games of the road trip in Detroit.
Mariners: Saunders hits off tee, Bloomquist gets MRI
Outfielder Michael Saunders, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 11 with a strained left oblique, began hitting off a tee this week. Manager Lloyd McClendon said Saunders could accompany Seattle on its road trip, before adding that it will "be a while" before Saunders is healthy. Saunders became eligible to come off the DL on Saturday.
In other injury news, the club placed veteran utility man Willie Bloomquist on the 15-day disabled list earlier this week with a right knee contusion after he was injured trying to leg out an infield single in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets. Bloomquist underwent an MRI on Thursday.
"I just saw him hopping along the hallway," McClendon said. "It hurts like [heck]."
Worth noting
• Center fielder Michael Bourn, who is on 15-day disabled list with left hamstring injury, rode on a stationary bike on Sunday morning. During Cleveland's homestand, Bourn is slated to increase the intensity of his running drills. Francona said there is still no established timetable for Bourn to begin a Minor League rehab assignment.
• Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall remained out of the Indians' starting lineup on Sunday for a second straight game due to illness. Francona said Chisenhall was suffering from "intestinal turmoil" and hopes the off-day on Monday would help him recover in time for the upcoming homestand.
• The Mariners had a pair of Cuban-born players in the starting lineup on Sunday for the first time in club history, with starting pitcher Roenis Elias and designated hitter Kendrys Morales appearing in the series finale against the Orioles.

How to Get a Great Smile FAQ
I don't like my teeth or my smile – what can I do?
A wide variety of options are available to improve tooth function and how your smile looks. Check out our
"Cosmetic Procedures"
section to see how other patients with similar problems were helped, then look for an
AACD dentist
near you to get started on your new smile.
How much does it cost to get a great smile?
Like most services, cost varies based on the amount of time required and the difficulty of the procedure(s). Generally, improving a smile requires a combination of treatment options such as bleaching, reshaping gums
and using bonded materials (resin or porcelain) to improve the appearance of the teeth. A great way to start is by having a consultation with an
AACD dentist
to determine how you can reach your goals. Improving your smile is an
investment in you
Learn more about dental financing
I have dental insurance. Will it pay for my new smile?
Most dental insurance has very low total benefits per year, which may offset the cost for regular checkups, but probably won't pay toward cosmetic services. Insurance is a business; thus, your carrier will often contract to pay for the least expensive option instead of the best solution for your particular needs or desires. Many AACD dentists will work to maximize your benefits, and may have suggestions for alternative methods of financing so you can obtain the treatment of choice.
Learn more about dental insurance and financing
What are some benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
A great smile should improve your self-confidence, which can have a positive impact on the social and professional aspects of your life. Cosmetic dentistry is not just about pretty smiles though. New techniques and materials are available for back teeth as well as those seen when you smile. Now your mouth can look great, get healthy
and function better
all at the same time. Ask an AACD member dentist what's available for you.
Why should I go to an AACD dentist?
AACD member dentists
have shown a special interest in new technologies and procedures, specifically to help them achieve better results for you. The AACD provides a wide variety of educational and mentoring opportunities to assist member dentists in attaining the best possible clinical skills to help promote excellent care for their patients.
What is AACD Accreditation?
Accreditation is a rigorous test of skills in cosmetic dentistry, developed by the AACD more than 25 years ago, and supervised by the American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dentists and dental laboratory technicians who carry this credential have submitted documentation and actual dental cases of exceptional work to a panel of examiners, and after a rigorous testing and peer review process, have been awarded the
"AACD Accredited"
designation. A more detailed explanation of AACD member types can be found in the
Find a Dentist
section of this site.
Will a dentist I select be able to provide all the treatment I need?
Some AACD dentists choose to provide a variety of procedures, while others focus on specific areas of treatment. Many times, cosmetic and restorative dentistry requires a team approach to achieve the best results. A consultation is a great way to determine your needs, so your best approach is to consult with your AACD member dentist on how to achieve your goals. Either way, AACD members will work to give you the beautiful and natural smile you want and deserve.
What is a dentist's responsibility?
Licensed dentists are responsible for giving their patients a complete oral and dental examination and then conveying those results to the patient in a clear manner. Their responsibility is to give a thorough examination no matter what procedure the patient is seeking.
How many office visits will it take to fix my teeth and improve my smile?
This varies with each individual, depending on the need. Sometimes, you can dramatically improve your oral health and appearance in just a couple of visits. Most AACD dentists will work to make your treatment as convenient as possible, perhaps choosing slightly longer visits instead of frequent trips to the office. Discuss your goals and concerns with your dentist so the best plan can be developed for your individual situation. If you start today, a new smile can be yours sooner than you think.
What will my new smile look like?
Your AACD dentist will work with you in choosing the right look for you. A smile enhancement can be made to look both dramatic and natural
Your dentist can use photographs (in a process called cosmetic imaging) and models to show you what to expect. Sometimes, trial materials can be placed directly on your teeth to help you visualize the change. Ask your dentist what can be done to give you the smile you desire.
Is my new smile permanent?
With good home care and regular visits to your dentist, modern materials can last for many years
and possibly decades. Like most things, excellent maintenance will extend the life of your dental restorations.

NYFF50: Men of Cinema: Pierre Rissient and the Cinema Mac Mahon
September 30, 2012 – October 03, 2012
Pierre Rissient in person for all screenings! A still-functioning movie house located in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, the unassuming façade of Paris' Cinéma Mac Mahon belies its history as one of the world's sacred sites of celluloid worship. It was there, in the early 1950s, that the future critic-publicist-programmer Pierre Rissient and his band of film-crazed friends convinced the theater owner to let them commandeer the programming, ushering in a tidal wave of American movies—especially film noirs and other genre fare—directed by the likes of Fritz Lang, Joseph Losey, Otto Preminger and Raoul Walsh.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
With states on the prowl for revenue, e-retailers should be wary of promising tax-free sales.
Well, not exactly a party, but as in the political movement sweeping across the country, it's a no-punches-pulled effort across several states to help balance budgets—in this case by eking out as much tax revenue from e-commerce sales as possible.
It's too soon to say how several state efforts to force sales tax collection on online sales will pan out in the courts, but one thing is clear since New York State enacted in June 2008 what's become known as the Amazon Tax: Other states are continuing to think of ways that they can force the sales tax collection hand of online retailers. In recognition of that trend, a large number of our readers checked out this recent article we published about an effort by Texas to recoup what it says are more than a quarter of a billion dollars in sales tax that Amazon.com should have collected and remitted to the state: "Amazon.com gets a Texas-sized tax bill."
Amazon has requested a redetermination of the Texas Comptroller's Office decision, which claims that the retailer has a physical presence in the state—and therefore a duty to collect sales tax from Texas customers—with the Amazon.com kydc LLC distribution operation, which Amazon considers an entity separate from its main retail organization. Tax and legal experts say U.S. business law generally accepts distribution operations in separate entities as separate from a retailer's core selling operations for tax purposes, but Texas apparently thinks otherwise. And it will be interesting to see whether Amazon succeeds in its challenge to the state comptroller's determination.
And you can bet other states are watching what happens in Texas, just as they watched what happened in New York before similar "Amazon Tax" laws popped up in states including North Carolina and Rhode Island.
States have their reasons: According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, they could collect enough new revenue, about $19 billion, this year alone to cover about 27% of their budget shortfalls—enough to fire the flames of any tea party movement.
The overall message here for e-retailers is to be aware that the hunger for tax revenue among states has long legs, and more efforts to force tax collection on the part of e-retailers are sure to arise.
In recent years, many multichannel retailers saw the writing on the wall in the growth of cross-channel shopping to move away from operating separate entities for online and offline sales as a means to avoid having nexus in several states and the responsibility for sales tax collection. A good follow-up to that might be to reconsider promoting many online sales as "tax free" to shoppers, when by law consumers who don't forward sales tax payments to retailers are required to pay it directly to the states themselves as a "use" tax. Few do, of course, but that only pushes states like North Carolina to force online retailers to hand over information on shoppers in order to help identify those who don't pay their use taxes.
Another recent article notes how Amazon.com won a decision against North Carolina on this issue—"Amazon wins one in court"
but the judge also left the door open for the state to continue seeking information on consumers as long as it stays within consumers' First Amendment rights.

50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the EarthThis book explains how specific objects in a child's environment are connected to the rest of the world; how using them affects the planet; and how the individual can develop positive habits through projects that are environmentally sound. The book is written for children. The material includes experiments, facts, and activities divided into eight topical sections: (1) ecological issues; (2) recycling; (3) water resourcs; (4) animal protection; (5) plants; (6) energy; (7) communication and action; and (8) ecological experiments. The first section follows a general format that includes the introduction of an environmental issue, some causes and consequences, and problem management techniques for children. Issues introduced in this way include acid rain, air pollution, disappearing animals, garbage, greenhouse effect, ozone hole, and water pollution. The activities in sections 2 through 7 follow a general format beginning with a quiz question and followed by a collection of facts, actions children can take, and extension activities or suggestions that often include addresses of organizations, or a bibliography for additional information. The last section contains a series of ecological investigations and activities pertaining to biodegradation, groundwater, smog, acid rain, junk food, values clarification, and papermaking.
