Howdy! Did you ever get your pizzeria open in Baltimore? I'd love to stop in.
Depends on the space. Does it need to be totally built out? Does it already have a kitchen, ventilation, adequate restrooms, water, electricity, gas. LOTS of variables. For what I'm looking to do, it will cost about $200k-250 for the buildout. That includes everything including exterior signage.
Hey Terry,I hope you're able to find a location and soon be able to open up your own pizza restaurant. If you don't mind, could you please take a moment and explain how a lease works when one is doing the type of very expensive "buildout" you were facing with the property you were formerly contemplating. Thanks alot.Bob
Hi, good luck to you! It's so hard to start a business these days...seriously, it takes a special person/team and even then....the chances of getting launched are small, let alone succeeding!Anyway...how's it going?

Stretch Pique Three Piece Chair Slipcover
Other items in the Stretch Pique collection
View All >$169.99
Accessories related to this product
Poor sizing
I have a petite sofa with small rolled arms. I tried the sofa, then the loveseat sizes and neither worked. The sofa size was huge; the loveseat was too tight. In addition, the arms did not fit well. It was unfortunate, as I did like the style, workmanship and fabric. I would try your product again if you made a T-cushion petite version that scaled better on the arms.
This slipcover is fantastic! The color, the fit, ease of placement.....everything about it! I will be ordering two more very soon!
These are a must have for old or new furniture!
I have a T cussioned sofa and loveseat set that I love but was stained due to years of hard use. I got the sofa and loveseat three piece Stretch Pique in chocolate brown. My couch is 93 inches and at first I was sure it would not fit the sofa. My 19 year old daughter and I kept trying and almost gave up before we found that if we worked together stretching it to the limits and moving in sychrony over the very tight parts evenly and carefully we were able to get it on the couch. It wound up being a perfect fit but a few more incheson the sofa cover would have helped and reduced the risk of tearing. We had no problems with the loveseat. The back and front of the sofa gets completely covered with plenty of give with no fear of it tearing from use. The look is very presentable. Not quite like the origianal couch but still classy. I will still use them when I replace the sofa and loveseat to protect and extend their life in daily use and remove the covers for special occasions.
I just recently purchased the sofa, loveseat and chair three piece slipcovers. I am very pleased with the product and a few people thought i purchased new furniture. I only wish I had ordered the ottoman cover when i made my initial purchase. I am about to do that now. Thank you Surfit for this wonderful product!!!!!
Wonderful look. Made old out of date sofa look new. Glad not to have purchased a new sofa. Great for our condo that we rent out. Easy to clean. Just whip it off & wash!!
Best cover ever!!!
I have an oversized cream couch I've had for 5 years. No matter how much I washed, It looked dingy, but the look and style are still current. I have the pillows that are not attached and T cushioned seats. Well, I bit the bullet and brought the couch and chair cover. Best investment ever, now my furniture will last another 5 - 10 years and I totally transformed the room with the Taupe color ( light brown). Plus I ordered on a Tuesday, It arrived Saturday morning. Thanks Sure fit!!!!
Super Pleased
Our T-cushion sofabed was a very sore spot in an otherwise lovely room. The reupholstering quotes were more than the price of a new sofa, so I finally gave in and spent the money to have this slipcover (in cream) shipped to me in Canada. We've had it for 6 weeks now and IT IS AWESOME. The fit is perfect with a few minutes of adjusting. When we use the sofabed we just semi-remove the main piece before pulling out the bed (and spend a few minutes adjusting it when putting it back together). A reservation I had before purchasing was that somewhere on the site someone commented that their pets' claws were snagging the fabric and the cover looked terrible shortly after purchase. I'm happy to say that our two clawed cats (who are the reason the sofa was in poor condition in the first place) have not caused a single snags or pull, even though they still sleep and walk across it and sometimes (though far less frequently) scratch at the sofa. Well worth the purchase.

Zuko Alone
this wiki
- This article is about the episode. For the titular character, see Zuko.
"Remember this, Zuko. No matter how things may seem to change, never forget who you are." |
"Zuko Alone" | |||
Information | |||
Episode guide | |||
Image gallery (54) |
After deciding he would be better off on his own and leaving his uncle, Zuko continues his journey alone and ends up in an Earth Kingdom town, where a young boy named Lee brings him home for dinner and subsequently bonds with the banished prince. Zuko helps defend the family from rogue Earth Kingdom soldiers who terrorize the town and has flashbacks of his youth when his mother was still around. Zuko's identity as the Fire Prince is revealed when he firebends, and the boy and his family reject him because of it.
Zuko is traveling by himself through semi-arid terrain on his ostrich horse. With a gaunt appearance and an empty stomach, he suddenly stops at the smell of something; he looks over to find a man cooking a large piece of meat over an open flame. Zuko puts a hand over his gurgling stomach and moves the hand to his sword hilt. However, upon seeing that the man is traveling with a pregnant woman, he continues on. Now more tired and dehydrated than ever, Zuko is struggling to maintain his consciousness. His vision becomes blurred as he presses on and he closes his eyes. A woman walking down a dark hallway with a hood appears. Zuko opens his eyes again, but keeps his head down.
Finally, Zuko arrives in a village. On his way in, he passes some Earth Kingdom soldiers, who lock eyes with Zuko for a moment. He dismounts his ostrich horse and walks over to a man standing behind a counter, wanting to purchase some water, a hot meal, and a bag of feed. As he extends his hand forward revealing a small number of coins, the man tells him that he does not have enough for a hot meal, but he can give Zuko two bags of feed. As the man goes to retrieve Zuko's feed, two boys hiding beside the counter throw an egg at the soldiers just behind Zuko, and run for cover. Thinking Zuko had thrown the egg, the soldiers angrily confront and interrogate him. Zuko covers for the boys, saying he saw nothing, and suggests that a chicken may have flown over. As the vendor brings Zuko's feed out, the leader of the soldiers takes it and thanks Zuko for his "contribution".
As Zuko remounts his ostrich horse, the boy who threw the egg pops up from behind the animal and thanks him for covering for him. Zuko does not reply, and begins moving forward on his mount. The boy follows him, and offers to take him to his farm and feed the ostrich horse in return for not ratting him out. Zuko accepts, and allows the boy, Lee, to lead him.
Zuko and Lee approach a large farm full of several kinds of hybrid pigs, that oink loudly as the two approach the house. Lee casually remarks that the noise is good because no one can ever sneak up on them. As the boy goes to put Zuko's ostrich horse in the barn, his father, Gansu, approaches the prince. When Gansu inquires if Zuko is a friend of Lee, Lee recounts Zuko's small confrontation with the soldiers. Lee's mother, Sela, comes, asking for the newcomer's name. Unable to give his usual false name, Lee, or his real name, Zuko stutters for a moment before Lee's father comes to the rescue, saying that "He doesn't have to say who he is if he doesn't want to".
The family explains how the real soldiers, like Lee's older brother, Sensu, are fighting in the War while those thugs stay to "protect" the village. Sela asks if Zuko wishes to stay for dinner, but he declines her offer. Understanding that he is too proud to accept any help, she says that Zuko can help Lee's father fix the roof of the barn and that later they will eat, an offer Zuko accepts.
Zuko sets to work, wildly hammering on the roof at about six bent nails. Behind him, Lee is asking him rapid-fire questions. His father silences the boy, but he persists and asks Zuko how he got his scar. At this the banished prince accidentally hammers his own thumb, momentarily distracted. Lee's father tells him it is not polite to ask so many personal questions, and that Zuko's past is not his business. As Zuko continues hammering, he is thrown into a memory.
A young Prince Zuko and his mother are sitting by a small pond in a garden on the palace grounds, feeding turtle ducks. Zuko offers to show his mother how Azula feeds them and throws a large piece of bread at one. His mother berates him for it, as the mother of the turtle duck comes forward and bites down hard on Zuko's ankle. He yells in pain as his mother helps detach the small creature. He angrily asks why the duck bit him, to which Ursa replies that mothers are protective, and will "bite back" when their young are in danger, and pretends to bite Zuko. They laugh briefly before returning their gaze back to the pond.
As Zuko and his mother walk back through a courtyard, young Princess Azula is attempting a cartwheel, but falls to the ground with a thud. Behind her Ty Lee runs forward and performs the move with ease, topping it off with several somersaults, causing Azula to push her over in jealousy and laugh. A young Mai sits uninterested against a tree watching them; she turns, sees Zuko walking through the garden, and diverts her gaze again, now blushing and smiling to herself. However, Azula notices this and whispers to Ty Lee, "Watch this." Ty Lee giggles as Azula runs up to her brother and mother, asking if Zuko would come play with them, stating that it is important for siblings to spend time together. After a small argument between Zuko and Azula, their mother makes him go and play with the girls.
Azula explains that the tactic of the game is for the player to knock an apple off of the other person's head. She sets an apple on the head of a bored-looking Mai and sets it ablaze. Zuko rushes forward trying to knock the burning apple off of her head, but trips, crashing into Mai, and they both fall into the fountain, landing on top of each other. Ty Lee comments on how cute they are together; Mai, angered, says, "You two are such- ugh!" while Zuko storms inside to dry off, passing his mother and shouting, "Girls are crazy!"
Zuko's mother informs him that she has received a letter from his uncle in Ba Sing Se. In the letter, Iroh says that "if the city is as magnificent as its wall, Ba Sing Se must be something to behold." Continuing, he hopes they can come and see it one day, if he does not burn it to the ground first, to which Zuko and Azula burst out in laughter. He has also sent gifts for his niece and nephew. For Zuko, a pearl dagger that belonged to the general who surrendered when Iroh broke through the Outer Wall. The inscription on the dagger reads Never give up without a fight. Azula, instead, receives an Earth Kingdom doll, much to her displeasure.
Azula comments that if Iroh did not make it back from the siege, her father would be next in line to be Fire Lord. Her mother scolds her for saying such a thing, as Zuko asks her how she would feel if Iroh's son, Lu Ten, wanted their dad to die. Azula simply retorts that she thinks "[their] dad would make a much better Fire Lord than his royal tea-loving kookiness" and sets her new doll ablaze.
The focus shifts back to the present day, where Zuko is sleeping soundly on a pile of hay in the family's barn. Lee sneaks in, takes Zuko's swords, and silently slips out as Zuko's eyes open. Lee takes the swords outside where he begins to hack wildly at a field of sunflowers, pretending to fight an enemy. From behind him, Zuko appears and says he is holding them the wrong way, explaining that he has to think of the swords as one whole rather than two separate blades. Lee heeds Zuko's comments and his motions become more fluid. Walking back to the farm in the moonlight, Lee states that Zuko would have liked Sensu as he used to share things with him just as Zuko was doing.
The next day, Zuko mounts his ostrich horse and prepares to set off, when Lee's mother gives him some food for his journey. At that moment, dust kicks up in the distance, and the soldiers from the village come with grave news: Sensu's battalion has been captured. Zuko is brought back to a memory of his cousin's death. He and Azula are playing together in the garden while their mother is sitting near the pond. A servant delivers a message to her; she reads it and looks up, a tear drips down her face as she informs her children that their cousin did not survive the battle.
Back in the present, Lee's father declares he is going to the front to look for Sensu. Lee asks if Zuko will stay in his father's absence, but he declines and gives Lee the pearl dagger his uncle had given him when he was a kid. As Zuko rides off, he is thrown into another memory: Zuko is practicing with his knife while Azula watches from a chair, commenting that he is wasting all his time playing with knives while he is not even that skilled, to which he replies with anger. Ignoring her brother's outburst, she casually informs him that Iroh is coming home, calling him "a quitter and a loser".
Their mother enters the room and tells them their father has requested an audience with their grandfather, Fire Lord Azulon. Azula disrespectfully inquires why Ursa does not just refer to Fire Lord Azulon as "grandfather" as "he isn't exactly the powerful Fire Lord he used to be". When she continues saying that someone was probably going to take his place soon, Ursa scolds her once again for her brazen and callous speech and wonders to herself, "What is wrong with that child?" In the Fire Lord's war room, Ozai is asking Zuko and Azula how their great-grandfather Sozin won the Battle of Han Tui. While Zuko stammers for an answer, Azula answers correctly. Pleased with his daughter, Ozai asks her to show her grandfather the new moves she demonstrated for him.
As Azula gracefully performs her firebending forms, a smile creeps across Ozai's face. He states that "she is a true prodigy, just like her grandfather for whom she's named." As Azula resumes her seat beside Zuko, she whispers that he "will never catch up". Eager to prove his sister wrong, Zuko rises to demonstrate what he has been learning, and instantly, the smile on Ozai's face turns into a frown. As Zuko stumbles with the same form, Azula smirks viciously. Zuko falls to the ground after trying again to no avail. Zuko sadly says that he failed, while Ursa comforts him, saying that she loved watching him perform.
Impatient that Zuko is wasting his time, Azulon dismisses Ursa, Zuko, and Azula, and asks Ozai to tell him what he wants. As they make for the door, Azula grabs Zuko's hand and leads him behind a curtain from where they eavesdrop on their father and grandfather's meeting. Ozai comments that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended and that no one really knows when he will return to the Fire Nation, whereas he is present, and his children are alive, leading up to his request to cheat on Iroh's birthright in his favor. Unhappy about his youngest son's arrogance and lack of respect for his brother's loss, the Fire Lord tells Ozai that Iroh has suffered enough, but his punishment has scarcely begun.
As the Fire Lord's flames rise, a frightened Zuko runs away before hearing the punishment Azulon would give Ozai, while Azula remains behind with a sadistic smile on her face. In his room, Zuko, lies on his bed, frightened of what he just saw. Azula enters with an evil smirk, singing that their father is going to kill Zuko. She reveals that Ozai is to sacrifice Zuko so he may know the pain of losing a firstborn son. Zuko refuses to believe her, and when he remarks that their "dad would never do that to [him]", Ursa enters the room demanding to know what is going on. Seeing Azula's smug face, she pulls her away angrily, saying that it is time for a talk. Zuko remains in bed chanting, "Azula always lies" to himself.
In the present, Zuko is lying on grass, eyes closed and repeating those same words, when Lee's mother pulls up in a cart, informing him that when the soldiers from the village came back demanding food, Lee pulled a knife on them. The men took him away, remarking that if he was old enough to fight, he is old enough to join the army. She begs for his help through her tears. Zuko agrees to help, and rides up to the soldiers; on the town square, Lee, tied to a pole, is extremely happy to see Zuko. At Zuko's arrival, the soldiers all stand up, ready to face him.
Zuko dismounts and removes his straw hat, ordering the soldiers to release Lee. The leader bursts out laughing before harshly inquiring who Zuko is. Zuko calmly replies that his identity does not matter, and that the soldiers are not soldiers but bullies abusing their power. The leader asks the other soldiers if they are going to let Zuko insult them like this, implying that they should attack him.
One rushes forward, but is knocked off his feet with a quick hit from Zuko's sword hilt, without even removing the sword entirely from its sheath. The next one runs at Zuko; without much effort, Zuko ducks under the spear, and pushes the man backward on the ground by placing his hand on his. The third runs at him and Zuko performs a front kick, breaking the man's spear, scaring him into running away. The leader, the only one left, pulls out two large hammers, a motion mirrored by Zuko, who pulls out his swords. The leader smacks the ground with his hammers and sends a rock pelting toward Zuko, who breaks it easily with his swords.
The next few blows appear more difficult to block, and Zuko is hit in the stomach by a rock; however, he does not give up, but charges the leader, under cheers from an elderly spectator. Zuko's advance is halted by three quick boulders coming his way. He is barely able to block the rocks that are flying toward him, and he is finally hit with an earth pillar that knocks him airborne and back about ten feet. He hits the ground hard and is blasted into another memory. Zuko is sound asleep in his room when his mother gently wakes him. She tells the half-asleep Zuko that everything she has done has been to protect him, and that no matter how things may seem to change, he is never to forget who he is. She hugs him a last time and disappears down a dark corridor.
Back in the present, Zuko is lying on the ground, seemingly passed out. The soldier moves forward for the final blow when Zuko opens his eyes and suddenly firebends. He uses his swords to guide his flames and creates a furious ring of fire around him as he jumps up. Lee and the villagers look at him, terrified. Zuko wastes no time and charges the soldier, sending blasts of fire toward him as he swings the blades. The man makes a feeble attempt at earthbending a wall to block the attack, but to no avail, and is knocked back against a house.
Lying defeated amidst a pile of debris, the soldier asks Zuko who he is, a question Zuko answers by telling everyone his full title and royal heritage. The crowd erupts in nervous whispers, horrified by Zuko's revelation as a firebender and prince of the Fire Nation. The man who had been cheering Zuko accuses him of being a liar, as he once heard that Zuko was not a prince but an outcast. Zuko ignores the man and retrieves his dagger from the pocket of the defeated soldier. He walks toward Lee, now untied by Sela, but his mother steps between them and tells Zuko not to come a step closer. Obeying, Zuko kneels and offers the dagger, but Lee rejects the offer, telling the firebender that he hates him.
Zuko is now haunted by his turbulent past, reliving another memory. He wakes suddenly from his bed yelling for his mom. He runs down the hall only to find his sister Azula playing with his knife. He asks her about their mother, to which she replies that nobody knows and casually adds that their grandfather had passed away last night. Zuko tells Azula that she is sick, takes back his knife, and runs to find his mother. He finds his dad instead at the pond, standing silently and staring into the distance. When Zuko demands to know where his mother is, Ozai does not reply, and Zuko bows his head.
The Fire Sages hold a special funeral ceremony for the late Fire Lord, retelling his past accomplishments and family ties as a eulogy. Ozai, Zuko, and Azula are present, all donned in white robes. After the sages cremate Azulon's body, the Head Sage coronates Ozai as the new Fire Lord according to what he said was Azulon's dying wish.
Returning to the present, Zuko is riding away from the village on his ostrich horse, his round hat back on his head, with either side of the street lined with villagers. An Earth Kingdom flag flies in the breeze on the left of the frame. Some villagers, including Lee, look at Zuko with dull hatred as he rides into the fiery red sunset.

Production notes
- Main article: Transcript:Zuko Alone
- Main article: Writing in the World of Avatar
Avatar Extras
- Main article: Avatar Extras for Book Two: Earth
Series continuity
- Zuko's dagger was first seen in "The Avatar State" when Zuko and Iroh cut off their topknots.
- Zuko's mother, Ursa, is seen for the first time.
- The pregnant woman and her husband, whom Zuko decides not to rob, would later be escorted to Ba Sing Se by Aang and friends in "The Serpent's Pass".
- This is the first and only episode in which Team Avatar does not appear.
- Zuko is shown fighting without using his firebending for the second time, the first time being in "The Blue Spirit".
- When Ursa tells Azula "it's time for a talk", Ursa grabs Azula's right arm with her left hand. When they move past Zuko her right hand is grabbing Azula's right arm.
- When Sela asks for Zuko's help to get her son back, Zuko's swords disappear in several frames.
- Also, the hat that Zuko wears is lying on his chest when Sela approaches him, but when the frame switches, he is wearing the hat with it tied around his chin. However, after he tells her he will get Lee back, the straps are not tied, made obvious by the straps blowing in the wind.
- In addition to that, the river is flowing toward the right when it is first shown, but is flowing toward the left when it is next seen.
- In this episode, it states that Azulon ruled for twenty-three years; however, for this to be correct, Sozin would have had to remain Fire Lord for roughly seventy years after his death at the age of 102, according to nick.com.
- When Zuko beats the earthbender and reveals his identity, a man in the crowd shouted that Zuko's own father burned him. However, in "The Storm", it was implied that this fact was not publicly known, as Zuko's own crew, who had been traveling with him for nearly three years, was under the assumption that he got his scar in a training accident.
- "Avatar Extras" stated that this episode is the series' equivalent of a Western, being similar in many ways to the 1949 novel, Shane.[1]
- The doll given to Azula has the same hairstyle and headband as Toph.
- Ursa states that Zuko is "someone who keeps fighting, even though it's hard". That same message is meant by the inscription on the dagger Iroh sent him. Zuko heeded these words carefully, as he mentioned to Aang in "The Siege of the North, Part 2", "I've always had to struggle and fight and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."
- This is the only episode in which Zuko uses his swords to augment his firebending.
- Azula's game of shooting an apple off of another's head with firebending is similar to the marksmanship feat known as the apple-shot, most famously performed by William Tell.
- The fact that the dagger says "Made in Earth Kingdom" is a nod to how most modern day products have "Made in China" somewhere on them as the Earth Kingdom is largely based on China.
- At the pond, Ursa explains to young Zuko, "If you mess with [a mother's] babies, they're going to bite you back." This foreshadows the "vicious, treasonous things" she does to save Zuko's life, as is later learned in "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse".
- Before "The Awakening", this episode provided the closest and clearest glimpse of Fire Lord Ozai's face, with his mouth shown when he spoke, albeit at a distance and barely visible.
- This episode's title "Zuko Alone" references that Zuko is the only major character appearing in it, except for flashbacks.
- This is the only episode in the entire franchise in which the Avatar does not appear.
- The field of large earth coins that Zuko passes through is the same as that in which Avatar Wan lost his life millennia prior.[2]

Indeed. Dramatic does not mean heavy/dour, nor does it mean Mao must skate as someone completely foreign to herself. And if Mao were to use this piece, the music from 3:40 onwards would be perfect for her footwork section-- moderate even in tempo for her to really get into the ice and display her wonderful balletic lines and yet light enough to just dance. Rimsky really does have a wide reportoire of works that is just tailor-made for figure skating with wonderful highs and lows and variations in beats. Same to Rachmaninoff... I never did understand why people don't make more use of his Symphonic Dances, especially this movement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iyfoYByf48 So beautiful <3
Indeed! Now if only we could somehow get these suggestions to Team Yu-na and Mao... I do hope they visit goldenskate and will see them :3
Yuna has no intention of skating anymore. If she does it's only because her federation needs her to maintain 2 spots for Worlds. I personally only want to see her skate if she really wants to and not just halfassing it like she did at Worlds. Yes she almost won but you can't just show up at Worlds and expect to win. Speaking of which can anyone remember a ladies gold medalist who seems as miserable as Yuna? What's the deal with her?
Yes because we all know her last year had absolutely no drama, no coach-splitingg/relocation/etc. Oh and we all know she's totally free to do whatever she wants to do regardless of her Federation. Of course. And of course, absolutely no mental slump from winning Worlds + OGM already. Totally.
Yuna's problems at Worlds weren't a mental slump from last year but from not competing at all this year.
Yuna herself has repeated in various interviews that the year after the Olympics was extremely tough for her because she struggled with motivation to compete and had to deal with the drama of her break-up with Orser.
Most skaters, assuming they don't immediately retire, go through a major slump following their Worlds or Olympic victory. Considering how Yuna did in the 09-10 season, it's actually a lot more surprising she hasn't simply vanished.
Look at it this way--of all the Worlds and Olympic podium finishers last season, only Yuna remained:
1. Joannie Rochette took the entire season off
2. Laura Lepisto took the whole season off (injuries)
3. Mao Asada struggled with her new technique
I generally give skaters the benefit of the doubt in these matters, and I'm especially likely to give YuNa the benefit of the doubt. As various posters (including me) have often pointed out, she's in a unique position in terms of pressure and national obligation. Mao has pressure to remain on top, of course, but if she (Heaven forbid!) left skating, Japan would still have three spots, because there are several other splendid Japanese ladies. Even the Finnish ladies have at least one spare--Kiira, who has a triple-triple. YuNa stands alone. Did she have a tough Worlds because of the coaching dramas, the pressure from her federation, or her lack of prior competitions through the season? Who knows? I'm glad she showed up, and I hope she is able to continue next year. But I have to say, if she decides to hang it up, I certainly wouldn't fault her for it.
First (heehee), I remember the days when I would feel the need to defend YuNa in a highly aggressive manner...and I'm glad to see others taking on that job without the aggression.
Second, I can say that many YuNa fans as myself (OK, Yunatic ) were thrilled just to see YuNa back on the ice. I am grateful for especially her Arirang LP and I hope to see it again. However, over on the YuNa forum, there is a lot of guilt floating around as well, as many of us fans realize these are our selfish wishes. It is clearly evident that YuNa was not completely committed--mentally and emotionally--to staying in competition, and with that came concern for her. I also would not fault her for not continuing. What's there for us to fault her for? She's done more than we could have imagined, let alone asked from her. In fact, some fans question whether they want to see her in competition anymore, wondering if she is unhappy with her predicament in the context of possible obligations to her federation/country.
It heartens me when non-Yunatics acknowledge her unique circumstances because sometimes I feel others, especially her more vocal critics, forget that she is a major outlier of a top skater considering her background, history, and ongoing situation. Even I, as a Canadian-born ethnic Korean, cannot understand some of her difficulties; it seems impossible. For example, YuNa's first language and culture is Korean, so I imagine that trying to express herself on the ice to usually foreign audiences is quite different from my understanding, given that Canadian/American sensibilities seem intuitive and familiar to me. Performance involves a form of communication/expression, so this difference may play a part as to why some people say she looks either "cold" or like she is "acting." Furthermore, YuNa does not skate competitively in Korea for the most part. She is not used to "communicating" to familiar audiences in the setting of a competition, and I think this contributes to some of her competition jitters.
So, although I would also love to see her continue, I also would only want her to if she can be happy and at ease. And even still, I don't think that it should go on for too long, she has missed out on so much for figure skating, and I imagine that even when she retires, her life will not have some of the blessings of ordinariness that we take for granted.
Should we call her Yunigma now?
I'm guessing Yuna thinks that since she's won the Olympic gold, there's nothing more to do in the sport. What is there to achieve? There's always a second gold medal, but considering the pain and hard work and exhaustion required of her body, she's probably not too keen on that idea.
Seeing Yuna ponder retirement makes me sort of glad that Michelle got silver in Nagano. If Michelle had won, she probably would've called it a day and quit too. But that puts us in a weird alternate universe in which Tara fights her hip injury, continues to skate, gets recognition from the general public, and people squeal "Taraaaaa!!!" whenever they see her in movies.
Yeah, looking back I can see the advantage in Michelle's winning silver and then bronze in her two active Olympics. It meant that she kept going, and we got to see her for a decade instead of just a few years. Even with a healthy pro circuit, I suspect that Michelle wouldn't have stuck around to skate in shows and pro-ams the way Kurt and Scott did but would have gone to college right away. So her career would have been that of a Tenley Albright, with lifelong praise for winning the gold but a relatively short list of "immortal" moments on the ice.
Who knows what YuNa will do in terms of competing? At least it looks as if she will remain active in skating, with her show and her work to bring championships to Korea. But if she wants to end her competitive career now, it's easy to understand why.

I am not convinced that Michelle would have quit after Nagano. She was young and seemed to love competing more than Yu-na does. With the endorsement money she would have gotten after winning ( i think she got a lot after silver) she could have continued without being a big financial burden on her family.
Even though she lost the Olympic gold, Michelle still had a little struggle the year after Nagano. Her 1998-1999 season was mostly forgettable, where she skipped the Grand Prix series and won silver at Worlds. She would not have quit immediately like Tara, but it's likely she would have struggled a bit more with motivation as well.

Mainly applicable to women (intoxicated women) that hover because they don't want to sit on a nasty toilet and have to people very very badly. Sometimes, when a woman is in the position, pushing urine out with force, a little something else comes out. The desire to poo isn't even there when you go to the bathroom, but with all the muscle action, it is thrust out into the world.
Person A: "I just pissed and some poo came out!"
Person B: "Oh man! You just hover shit!!"

Remember when you would say you were 5 and a half? That stops about age 21. Now you're at 30 something but never 30 and a half, but to me 34 is incredibly young yet. It is all in perspective. And also remember getting older beats the alternative. So enjoy the day on the day of the week you were born. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday friend... I wish you many many more nights snuggled between your sweet sleeping children!!! I hope your year is just brilliant!!!
A lot of old ladies read your blog!!! I am only nnnnnn-ahem-ineteen after all!!! And how I had eight kids by the time I turned nineteen will be an eternal source of mystery to my children!!!
Happy birthday, sweetie!

There is some evidence that Chopin may occasionally have used his own preludes as introductions to his larger compositions, but this was not his normal practice. Mainly he performed them as self-contained works, individually or in small groups, and for this reason we can reasonably claim that he re-defined the generic term. The Op 28 cycle consists of a succession of miniatures of great emotional power and unrivalled artistic quality. They retain an outward similarity to traditional collections of preludes, in their tonal sequence, epigrammatic dimensions, monothematicism and openness of form, but they actually initiate a quite separate tradition of concert preludes that would be further developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Unlike their predecessors, Chopin's preludes demand to be treated as 'works' of weight and significance rather than as written-out improvisations, and they achieve something close to perfection of form within the framework of the miniature, the relationship of substance to scale expertly gauged. Contemporaries were confused by this departure from tradition, and not only contemporaries: 'I must admit that I do not wholly understand the title that Chopin chose to give these short pieces', was André Gide's comment. 'Preludes to what?', he went on to ask.
As far as we can tell, most of the Op 28 preludes were composed in Paris during 1838, and the cycle was completed during the ill-fated winter of 1838–9 that Chopin spent on Majorca with the novelist George Sand. A piano had been sent to the island expressly for the purpose, and on 22 January 1839 Chopin was able to write to Camille Pleyel: 'I am sending you my Préludes. I finished them on your little piano, which arrived in the best possible condition in spite of the sea, the bad weather and the Palma customs.' It is no doubt significant that Chopin took the Well-Tempered Clavier with him to Majorca, for that great work provides the most helpful context for his own cycle. Much of the figuration in Chopin's preludes has origins in JS Bach. There are moto perpetuo patterns, as in Nos 11 (a kind of three-part invention), 14 and 19; subtly constructed figurations that allow linear elements to emerge through the pattern, as in the 'trill' motives of Nos 1 and 5; characteristic contrapuntal figures made up of discrete though interactive particles, as in Nos 1 and 8; and bolder contrapuntal polarities, as in the dialogue of melody and 'singing' bass in No 9, or the dual function of the bass as harmonic support and melodic (polyphonic) line in No 6. All this is part of a larger debt to Bach the contrapuntalist. But formally, too, the preludes evoke Baroque practice: by crystallizing a single Affekt in a single pattern and unfolding either in a ternary design (Nos 15 and 17) or as a simple statement with conflated response (Nos 3 and 12).
Each prelude of Op 28 is itself a whole, with its own Affekt, its own melodic, harmonic and rhythmic profile, and even its own generic character: thus at various times Chopin invokes the nocturne (No 13), étude (No 16), mazurka (No 7), funeral march (No 2) and elegy (No 4). Yet at the same time, the individual preludes make up a single over-arching whole, a real cycle that is enriched by the complementary characters of its components and integrated by the special logic of their ordering. From a purely formal viewpoint, that ordering is determined above all by the tonal scheme. But arguments have been ventured for a deeper unity based on motivic links between the preludes, extensive enough to justify describing the work in its entirety as an extended, organically conceived cycle. Whatever the truth of that, Op 28 remains an utterly unique achievement, albeit one with a legacy. Later composers were happy to follow Chopin's lead in broadening the generic meaning of the prelude, as in the sets by Scriabin, Fauré, Rachmaninov and Szymanowski. Of special significance are the two books of preludes by Debussy, the composer who, more than any other, translated Chopin's achievement into the language of twentieth-century pianism, just as Chopin himself had translated Bach's equal-voiced counterpoint into what Carl Schachter once aptly called a 'free, idiomatically pianistic counterpoint'.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The Stomp project is the Streaming Text Orientated Messaging Protocol site (or the Protocol Briefly Known as TTMP and Represented by the symbol :ttmp).
Stomp provides an interoperable wire format so that any of the available Stomp Clients can communicate with any Stomp Message Broker to provide easy and widespread messaging interop among languages, platforms and brokers.
Thanks to StompConnect you can now use any Stomp Client to interop with pretty much any Message Broker!
Easy Integration
Stomp is a very simple and easy to implement protocol, coming from the HTTP school of design; the server side may be hard to implement well, but it is very easy to write a client to get yourself connected. For example you can use Telnet to login to any Stomp broker and interact with it!
Many developers have told us that they have managed to write a Stomp client in a couple of hours to integrate their particular language, runtime or platform into the Stomp network. So if your favoured language/runtime of choice does not offer a good enough Stomp client please try write one as we love contributions!
I'm pleased to announce the 1.0 release of StompConnect, the plugin for any JMS provider to turn it into a fully fledged Stomp Broker.
Grab it while its hot from here!.
Stomp Clients
Pick the right Stomp client for your particular language or platform...
- Dynamic C for Rabbit® microprocessors
- C# and .Net
- Delphi
- Delphi and FreePascal
- Erlang
- Flash
- haXe has the hxstomp client
- Java
- Lisp
- Objective-C
- Perl
- Pike
- Python
- Ruby and Rails support.
- Smalltalk
Stomp Brokers
The following is a list of the various Stomp compliant Message Brokers which can be used with any of the Stomp Clients
- Apache ActiveMQ which can also support other protocols like OpenWire, REST, Ajax, Cometd, XMPP
- StompConnect provides a bridge to any other JMS provider. This means that all major commercial and open source message brokers can be used with Stomp! (The only significant message broker which doesn't implement JMS is TibCo's RV which is now legacy and the long term replacement is TibCo EMS which does support JMS).
- StompServer a lightweight pure Ruby Stomp server
- CoilMQ is a lightweight pure Python Stomp broker inspired by StompServer.
- Gozirra is a lightweight Java Stomp broker
- HornetQ puts the buzz in messaging
- PocoMQ is a highly configurable, extensible and stable Perl based Stomp server
- WS-Ramp - SOAP based asynch messaging profile
- WS-ReliableMessaging - SOAP based asynch messaging profile
- WS-Reliability SOAP based async messaging profile. I think this one has fallen out of favor with the WS-Glitterati
- XMPP - XML based messaging protocol originally created for IM, but not really bound to it.
- TOC- Text oriented messaging protocol created for interop with AOL Instant Messenger. I've seen people use it for arbitrary asynch messaging, so am listing it. Please don't serioulsy consider it.

Cards, Cubs face big decisions as rivalry is renewed
Contending St. Louis could see roster changes; Chicago looks to future
When the Cardinals departed St. Louis for Chicago late this week, they brought with them a looming -- if unspoken -- question: Will they return with the same roster? A three-game weekend series with the Cubs, which begins with a 3:05 p.m. CT first pitch Friday at Wrigley Field, marks the start of a six-game road trip that will take them to the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.
The Cards, just 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Brewers in the National League Central, could seek an upgrade for a second-half push to defend their NL title. The cellar-dwelling Cubs face a similar roster uncertainty, but only because they're so far out of the race they could deal with an eye toward the future.
"We're in last place, so all of [the] work remains ahead," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said this week. "What we've done is put ourselves in a position to make a lot of interesting decisions going forward and hopefully have two of the most important currencies in the game in young players and available payroll dollars and go make some hay."
On Friday, though, all eyes will be focused on right-hander Joe Kelly and lefty Travis Wood, two starting pitchers who have been trending in opposite directions of late.
Kelly (2.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) is fresh off the best start of his injury-dampened season. He tossed seven innings of one-run ball against the Dodgers on Saturday, his second start since returning from an injured left hamstring.
It marked a considerable improvement over his three-inning, six-run effort against the Brewers before the All-Star break. Kelly said he changed his mechanics for his outing against the Dodgers so as not to tip pitches, which he thought he was doing against Milwaukee.
"It's a good start," Kelly said. "I'm going to keep doing [the different motion] and do it as much as I can to just try and mix up pitches and hide stuff better."
Kelly allowed Chicago one unearned run in six innings on April 11, but Wood hasn't fared as well against St. Louis. In 13 innings spanning two starts -- both Cub wins -- the Cardinals reached him for eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits and three walks.
Wood has particularly struggled the last month-plus. In his most recent six starts, he owns a 6.82 ERA and 1.96 WHIP while allowing opponents a .328 average. His ERA on the season has climbed to 5.12 from 4.48 in that time.
"It's not like I"m sailing balls all over the place, I'm just missing," Wood said after his last start, in which he didn't escape the sixth inning against the D-backs. "I really want to go out and give seven, eight innings as strong as I can every time, and so far it hasn't been happening. Like I said, I promise we'll get there."
Cardinals: Miller to start Saturday as Martinez heads to 'pen
Shelby Miller's rest period is over.
That's the decision the Cardinals made this week when they announced Miller, who has been available in relief so far during the second half in an effort to lessen his workload, will move back to the rotation and start Saturday against the Cubs. Carlos Martinez will go back to the bullpen.
"I think we accomplished what the goal was from the beginning of 'Let's get him some rest,'" manager Mike Matheny said. "He's had a nice little period here to get himself right and strong and feeling good. Now we have to get him out on the mound and watch him get the consistency."
Miller has pitched one inning since his last start on July 10 -- two weeks ago. At 110 innings on the season, he is on pace to edge out his career-high total of 173 1/3 from last season. Martinez, meanwhile, made seven starts after joining the rotation in mid-June.
Cubs: Struggling Schierholtz has found success against Kelly
Kelly has done well against the Cubs during his three Major League seasons -- he owns a 2.19 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in eight games (five starts) -- but excuse him if he's a little wary of one Chicago batter in particular.
Nate Schierholtz is a career .462 hitter (6-for-13) with three doubles against Kelly. That includes a 3-for-4, one-RBI effort in April.
Lately, though, Schierholtz has struggled to a degree that has triggered a decrease in playing time. He was a .202/.248/.310 hitter entering the Cubs' game Wednesday against the Padres, which was just his second start in five games to open the second half.
Schierholtz's most recent extra-base hit was July 2.
Worth noting:
• This is the first of 10 more games between the clubs this season. That represents more than 15 percent of both teams' remaining schedules. The Cardinals lead the season series, 5-4.
• An 0-for-4, three-strikeout performance Tuesday was the last straw, for now, for Mike Olt. The Cubs demoted him to Triple-A Iowa to try to work thing outs. Olt, who leads NL rookies with 12 homers, is hitting .139/.222/.353 with a strikeout rate of 45 percent.
• Luis Valbuena (.246/.331/.408) will get the majority of time at third base.
• The Cubs' plan is to have Arismendy Alcantara and Emilio Bonifacio flip flop between second base and center field. Manager Rick Renteria said he'll likely keep Bonifacio as the leadoff man even though Alcantara could also be inserted at the top of the lineup. "Is it possible [Alcantara] can lead off? Absolutely," Renteria said.

My Blog Anniversary!
71 comments:
I do understand what you mean by comparing what I have with others! My "green eyed monster" is others sewing skills! I want to sew like mad...but it is a very slow process. I get discouraged by seeing what others can do so easily. I told my husband I feel like Madame Blueberry (Veggie Tales.) I bet you know who she is. :) I am reminded by God that He gave me my gifts. He knows the desires of my heart. He will give me the knowledge to get there...even if it is in His time. So, I wait and learn. :) Hope you are having a lovely time in Illinois! We are going there today! Merry Christmas!!!
ShannExcellent post, Becky! You are right on with the fact blogging is not a competition (though women seem to like to make everything such...) we're all just sharing who we are, and what we go through, and it doesn't matter if we have 1 comment or a hundred, if we're not ultimately blogging so that the Glory of God would be revealed somehow and in someway even the littlest inkling of a bit, we're blogging for the wrong reasons. At least, that's how I see it. ;) You are an inspiration! Happy one year Blogaversary, I'm happy to know you in this world of friends.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
I must admit that I am also envious of some of the other blogs but I do shoo it away.
Just so you know, you are a little intimidating also! LOL I love to read your posts and see what is going on in your life.
My blog needs serious help! Not only am I boring, but my poor little blog is in need of some maturity. I'm just not sure how to do it. It will come in time I am sure!
Merry Christmas to you and your precious family!it's hard not to compare yourself to other bloggers, I just wrote a post about it too, I am so blessed to know your family and I love everything you post, your adventures and your heart are all things that I look forward to when I see your site, you are loved and valuable and beautiful, congrats on your blogiversary!
Merry Christmas to you and your sweetness!Happy Anniversary Becky! I adore your blog so much!!! I've felt the same way about other people's blogs, but you're right about praying and giving it to God. Everything is His and I love how he brings us bloggers together to encourage, uplift and have fun! May He bless you abundantly in all your heart's desires for year 2!
Merry Christmas to you and the Mister and the Chicks!
- Rachel from A Cupcake for MooseHappy Anniversary, lady! I am so happy our virtual paths crossed. I can't believe you've only been at this for a year! You're a pro. :) I love what you shared about comparing...it's so nearly impossible not to do! It's so true that all we can be is who we are. I set out to blog for MYSELF. No one else. I have to remind myself of that from time to time in order to keep the right perspective.
ReplyDeleteI love you too and am so thankful I found you! I had run into your blog a time or two and moved on(didn't want to intrude on someone I didn't know)It took about a minute to get to know you..I love your heart and how you express your real feelings and your art work is so amazing! We each have so much to give to strengthen and lift each other. I don't feel competition, I feel admiration and love and lifting from so many talented, sweet, real women out there. I truly believe we are "sisters"...so happy to have connected with you...you are beautiful inside and out! Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Becky! You have an amazing blog. You have a gift for showing such realness when you write out your thoughts and when you create your special art. Don't you remember me telling you that you are one of the special people that inspired me to blog? And that is because my heart was encouraged with your honesty about life. Just by being YOU, others are being encouraged, changed and motivated to follow their dreams and become all God's created them to become. So keep on keepin on just as you are. Truly, you've made a big difference in my life. I'm so glad you are my friend!
Lee AnnHi Becky!

I loved this post.....1 year and 500 followers.....how fabulous you are! Your blog is honest, warm and friendly, I love that you have shared so many things and it has been wonderful to share your journey with you.
I am not an envious person by nature....but I do know what you mean....there are some amazing blogs out there.....and yours is ONE OF THEM!!! I am so excited for you that you have set up your Etsy shop, that is so fantastic...and very exciting!
I loved what you wrote in your post below about it only seeming not long ago that you were one of the little ones running around and now you're the grown up....I know just what you mean.
Have a wonderful Christmas (your Mom sounds wonderful, I am sure you will!), I look forward to sharing 2010 with you....who knows what it will bring?!
Big hugs to you my gorgeous friend,

xxxCongratulations on your one year anniversary of blogging. I think you are awesome and I love visiting your blog. You are so down to earth and so creative. Your blog rocks! I have been to blogs that make me feel like I wish that I could be a better stamper/scrapper, or better at taking photos but that's as far as it has gone for me. I don't think that I will ever have it all togeher. :)
I love the photo of you.You look lovely. I also love that you have snow coming down on your blog. Oh so very pretty.
Merry Christmas to you and to your family.
MaryHappy Anniversary Becky! Congrats on all you have done...it is so hard not to compare or feel inadequate blogging...I have to remind myself at least once a week why I am doing it. :) I'm joining you on your resolution to listen to God and simply BE. Thank you and merriest of Christmases to you and yours! luv, trina
ReplyDeleteBecky, congrats on your 1 year. I hope I get there! Sometimes I think how much time I put into this and am I really getting anything out of it. I have never been a good writer and I get nervous that I will sound like an idiot. I am so thrilled to have met you and you have inspired me to just be me and not worry about others! I believe the reason I am blogging is because of people like you, so thank you!
MeganHappy blog-anniversary and Merry Christmas. Do you know that I feel exactly the same way? And I suspect that most ladies do too. That's the nature of us gals - to compare ourselves, always trying to measure up. But the positive thing is that it has changed my life as well. I feel so encouraged and like there are so many great ladies who support me when I spill my heart on the pages of my blog. God gave us sisters to help carry our load and encourage us. I consider you one of my blogging sisters, and I can't wait til your second year of posts!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Sometimes it's hard not to compare ourselves to the talent that others have, but I work hard to reframe it, and think about what I've learned from the incredible women I've "met" in the blog world. I think I am the LEAST artistic person I know... but I'm inspired beyond words by all of you, and that gives me the courage to try to create the things I see others do. Some turn out, some don't. (Thank heavens for the blog shops and Etsy!) You are a gift, and I too, am happy I found you! Keep up the beautiful work!
MikalHappy anniversary!! I hope you had a lovely day yesterday and that all is well.
I think we all feel like that sometimes but on the whole, I've discovered that regardless of how someone appears, the chances are they have the same doubts and fears that we all have from time to time and it is how they handle it or disguise it that's different. :O)
I'm looking forward to being a better bloggy friend after the new year, it has been hectic and normality will suit me better this year, methinks.
Love, Helen xxI am catching up today in my reading and here I am. First off ~ Happy Anniversary!! I love your blog Becky and always look forward to your posts. You write from your heart ~ your faith ~ your love of your family and your creativity are things to cherish. Please do not ever change ~ I love you just the way you are. Hope your holiday was delightful ~ miss you! xo
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogging anniversary! It is so exciting to know how far you have come from the beginning, and I feel the same way about my own blog. I also know what you mean about reading everyone else's and comparing their lives to yours... but I learned early on to just appreciate the few things I have and let those things shine on my blog. But I always wish I was more creative, a better cook, and lived in a different city when I see other people's blogs! :)
