Kyoshi Warriors
this wiki
- This article is about the organization. For the episode with a similar name, see "The Warriors of Kyoshi".
"The Kyoshi Warriors are a skilled group of fighters. Trustworthy, too. They're good friends of ours." |
Kyoshi Warriors | |||
General information | |||
Chronological information | |||
Image gallery (14) |
Though their fighting style and clothing mimic those of Avatar Kyoshi, they seemingly did not implement any of the bending arts in their physical movements. They are clad in ornate, armored, green kimonos, metal headdresses, and white-faced makeup designed to intimidate opponents. The Kyoshi Warriors used metal fans as their main weapons like Avatar Kyoshi, but also implemented katanas and retractable shields. The warriors' most prominent fighting style was not about strength, but rather about using their opponents' force against them. Primarily, the warriors dealt with the disorderly traders and travelers who, after a night of carousing in the port of Kyoshi, often stumbled into the village and caused trouble.[4]
The warrior's uniform has a gold insignia that represents the honor of the warrior's heart and the silk threads symbolize the brave blood that flows through their veins.[2]
Early history
Prior to Kyoshi Island's separation from the Earth Kingdom mainland, Avatar Kyoshi witnessed women being mistreated by pushy male passersby. She had often defended the women in the village's seaside marketplace and endeavored to teach them defensive combat. Within a few years, Kyoshi had gathered a small band of disciples consisting of fisherwomen, weavers, and homemakers who eventually developed into the first Kyoshi Warriors.[5]
The female warriors do not take kindly to training outsiders or men in their unique methods of fighting. However, Sokka was admitted to the group despite possessing both of the aforementioned qualities on the condition that he had to adhere to all of the traditions of the female Kyoshi Warrior, including wearing their style of armor and traditional make-up. In the organization's history, there have been only a few male warriors. The only other known outsider to join them is Ty Lee, who was born in the Fire Nation.[6]
Hundred Year War
Although the Kyoshi Warriors had long remained neutral in the Hundred Year War against the Earth Kingdom, their ideals changed after Avatar Aang arrived on the island in late 99 AG. Chasing the Air Nomad, Prince Zuko and his troops attacked Suki's village and forced the warriors to defend their home. After repelling the attack with the aid of Team Avatar,[3] Suki's band of Kyoshi Warriors decided to assist the Earth Kingdom military in its attempts to fight against the Fire Nation. The warriors did not enter the front lines, but instead served as guards for the ferries to Ba Sing Se.[7] They later were defeated while trying to protect Appa from capture at the hands of Princess Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, though they did buy enough time for the flying bison to flee.[2]
In Ba Sing Se, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee infiltrated the city disguised as members of the Kyoshi Warriors.[1] The real Kyoshi Warriors were imprisoned following their defeat.[8] The Kyoshi Warriors were sent to the Capital City Prison, with the exception of their leader Suki, who was taken to the Boiling Rock Prison.[9] Suki was eventually freed by Sokka and Zuko with the help of Mai.[10]
The rest of the Kyoshi Warriors were finally freed after the Hundred Year War ended and Suki resumed her role as their leader. They were in full uniform at Zuko's coronation and even contained a new member: Ty Lee. She noted the bond that she had formed with the warriors while they in prison. Ty Lee also provided the Kyoshi Warriors with some lessons in the art of chi blocking.[6]
As the Fire Lord's bodyguards
A year after the end of the Hundred Year War, Mai asked the Kyoshi Warriors for help with the security of the Fire Nation Royal Palace following a series of assassination attempts, most notably by Kori, the daughter of Yu Dao's mayor, which had put in evidence the inefficiency of the palace bodyguards.[11]
The Kyoshi Warriors were tasked by Zuko to oversee Azula when she was conversing with her father and they were quick to intervene when she attacked her brother. They left their post on Zuko's inquiry, however, as he wanted to give his family some privacy. They continued escorting the Fire Lord, ensuring his safety on the palace grounds, and followed his orders. After Zuko left with Azula and part of Team Avatar, they remained at the Fire Nation Royal Palace to assist the interim Fire Lord, Iroh.[12]
The Kyoshi Warriors dressed in adorned metal headdresses and heavily armored green kimonos and wore face paint while on duty. This uniform was designed to resemble the attire that Avatar Kyoshi wore during her life, as well as her face paint that was meant to intimidate opponents.[4] The golden insignia represented the honor of a warrior's heart and the silk threads symbolized the brave blood that flowed through their veins.[3] Wearing such attire is a high honor for the Kyoshi Warriors.
Metal headdress
Initially, all warriors besides Suki wore a simple green headband. During and after the spring of 100 AG, however, the warriors wore distinct, individualized headdresses, allowing one to discern specific warriors, such as the unnamed warrior who was present with Suki and also when being hugged by Ty Lee at Zuko's coronation.[6]
The Kyoshi Warriors utilized a wide range of weapons in combat, varying from simple fans to deadly katanas.
The Kyoshi Warriors used a set of two metal fans in imitation of Avatar Kyoshi.[13] They wielded these fans in conjunction with a specialized fighting style that was based on the concept of turning an opponent's energy against them and exploiting openings. These implements were used for defense, but they could also be thrown elliptically as boomerangs or propelled as projectiles. These fans were the primary weapons of the Kyoshi Warriors and usually the first to be used in battle. Later, when teaching Sokka about the way of the Kyoshi Warriors, Suki said that it was like an extension of the arm.[3]
The Kyoshi Warriors each carried a round retractable shield that could be combined to protect the entire unit. The combined shields were capable of withstanding a fire blast from Azula.[2] They bear a likeness to the Earth Kingdom's emblem.
Each of the Kyoshi Warriors also carried a katana, which is a long, thin sword. The blade is moderately curved and single edged. Although rarely used in combat, the Kyoshi Warriors did employ katanas when battling Azula and her elite team,[2] where they proved to be well-suited for both self-defense and offense.
- With the white face, red lips and accents, and black eye and brow streaks, their makeup is a cross between two traditional Japanese styles, Geisha and Kabuki, more dramatic than the former but less than the latter.
- The green kimonos are inspired by Kabuki theater.
- Sokka is the only known male to be trained, to any extent, by the Kyoshi Warriors. He is also the only known male to have ever worn their uniform.
- Their makeup is water resistant.[7]
- The Kyoshi Warriors' use of fans is similar to Tessenjutsu, a martial art that is characterized by the use of war fans.
- Their weaponry is similar to that of the samurai warrior, making them one of the few groups in Avatar: The Last Airbender to be based on Japanese culture; for example, katanas are primarily used by the samurai.
- All known members of the Kyoshi Warriors are nonbenders.
- While there is a band of Kyoshi Warriors in every village on Kyoshi Island,[4] the only division that has been seen is the one that protected Oyaji's village, lead by Suki.

text: That fleeting time of year that is summer is now moving into high gear. It's time to enjoy all that our area has to offer. Yes, a day at the beach or the latest summer flick is always a possibility, but there's so much more to take in. Here's a sampling. Shakespeare re-imagined at Old Westbury Gardens Inspired by the magical tale of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," as interpreted from photographs of Old Westbury Gardens' founder Peggie Phipps Boegner and her cousins dressed up in costumes as they recreated scenes from the play decades ago, combined with elements of Northern European summer solstice celebrations, Old Westbury Gardens transforms itself this weekend for "Midsummer Weekend." Music and dance blend seamlessly into the appealingly decorated gardens, already bursting with seasonal color. It's a chance to enjoy the unique sights, fragrances and feel of the gardens, Friday and Saturday, June 21-22, at a special time of day: twilight. Visitors will become captivated by a totally different perspective of the grounds, illuminated by lanterns and candles, and watch as the grounds become inhabited by magical "fairies." The lush gardens are decorated with wreaths, garlands, and other festive floral arrangements, as Old Westbury Gardens' horticulture staff puts their unique twist on "A Midsummer Night's Dream." "It's great fun to see the many stoic-like statues take on a different look when dressed up in colorful garlands," said Vince Kish, Old Westbury Gardens spokesman. "When just about any kind of event, exhibit, or performance is presented at Old Westbury Gardens, the quality of that event is immediately enhanced by this incomparable environment. But some events seem to work particularly well here and blend wonderfully with the beauty exuded by these 200 bucolic acres." Try some "Midsummer Jazz," on Friday, 7:30-9:30 p.m., with the appealing gardens as a backdrop. Stroll the Walled Garden and listen to the cool sounds of live jazz. Light refreshments will be served.

Microsoft will buy as much influence as is needed, politically. If that means padding the pockets of politicians or influencing elections.
welcome to the "free market"2.) i own my own company so i know that bussiness are there to make profit but under no circunstance i accept so casually like some in this forums do, the need of piss all over the laws/bribering/corruption and the likes is needed to run a sucessful company but again american corporation are probably the most power hungry corrupt entities know by man and the US gov is not that far behind either.
No better or worse then mac osx or most linux based offerings. Anything with network acess will be "insecure". OEM's get the best deal on the product that sell the hardware they produce.3.) technically speaking windows is a insecure mess and prolly crappy enough to hold the 10 crapiest code ever written award but lucky for them most ppl including many in the IT area are too ignorant to bother[if you think your pc is secure cuz you use an AV and surf "carefully" the WEB you are among them] and microsft has been an expert exploiting this ignorance in their faces for 20 years + the draconian deals they forced the OEM's to follow[main reason of their market share these days][intel been there too as we all know] and since 90% of the ppl buy OEM and are too ignorant or stupid to even bother the inside of the product/security of their personal info/etc as long they can watch porn and get into facebook.
No, its a dependancy issue. and its fucking annoying. Application A updates breaking applications b. Both use the same shared library.4.) for the abi break guy post, do you even understand what an ABI is? and what in the frigging hell are you using that your apps break every week? i dare you to prove it to me LOL. in 10 years beyond nvidia/amd blob i don't remember had any sort of app breakage at all and i work always with at least 5 diff distros and i keep them as bleeeding edge as bleeding edge can be defined, i don't wanna be rude but im very sure is your fault.
disagreement is not trolling. Most here do not like to face the fact the microsoft behaves like a large powerful influential corporation with lots of $$. Duh. Nobody is this stupid, life isn't fair and nature is inherently imbalanced. This is how it works. the best company won the OS wars, for now.if you aren't a troll wich i doubt post more detailed info to get some help unlike you may think "abi break every week" is absoletely 100% NOT helpful
and thats no endorsement of MS products, they just happen to have the best products and platform with the easiet deployability in the market today. You can argue that till your blue in the face, but its the reality of the situation.
No, but maybe try getting off the drugs ? or taking off the tin foil hat. Microsoft doesn't have to pay people to troll linux users, they troll themselves enough.in another matter is me or my gut feeling that microsoft pay ppl to hijack and troll linux threads and post how magnificent windows is no matter how uneducated their responses are?
no problemNote for grammar trolls:
yeah my english is not perfect if you don't like blow me or answer in spanish so i can respect you a little
Just to sum up, it'd be nice to have a diverse OS and application ecosystem with little to no dominance, but we are seeing the douply of andriod and ios in the mobile space. This isn't healthy for anyone other then the 2 duking it out. .

Cashner looks to force split against Nats in finale
Rolling right-hander hoping for third straight quality start vs. Haren
Since moving to the starting rotation at the end of April, Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner has been on quite a roll.
In five starts this season, Cashner is 2-2 with a 2.51 ERA, allowing four runs or less in four of the starts.
He'll try for that same kind of success in Sunday's series finale against the Nationals at Petco Park.
While the right-hander didn't factor into the decision in his last start on Tuesday vs. the Orioles, he allowed just two runs -- one earned -- on five hits in 7 1/3 innings. Working quickly throughout the contest, Cashner was able to find success using his mid-90s fastball, changeup and slider.
"A good change and as the game went on, he threw some good elevated fastballs," manager Bud Black said after the game. "But the change has great action. It's a good pitch."
Meanwhile, Dan Haren will be on the hill for the Nationals, hoping to bounce back after his first loss in four starts.
Giving the Dodgers all they could handle, Haren was on the wrong end of a gem by Clayton Kershaw. In a 2-0 loss, the right-hander allowed just two runs on four hits in seven innings. He also struck out four and walked none.
Haren appeared to suffer an injury in the fifth inning, when his spikes got caught on the mound and a pain traveled from his left ankle to his back. However, Haren said he felt fine after the game.
"You are going against a guy like Kershaw. You have to be perfect and I wasn't perfect," Haren said. "I made a few mistakes."
Nationals: Duke called on for Monday start
• Washington manager Davey Johnson has decided that left-hander Zach Duke will start Monday night against the Giants at AT&T Park.
Johnson picked Duke over right-hander Craig Stammen because Johnson didn't want to break Stammen's routine as a reliever.
Johnson hasn't been able to find enough work for Duke this season and the skipper believes a start will get him going. As a long reliever, Duke has allowed 14 runs in 15 innings.
"Stammen has been very good. I don't want to change him out of the role that he is in," Johnson said. "With Duke, he has been basically a starter. I haven't been able to give him the kind of work to keep him sharp. This will help him get back to where he needs to be. It kills two birds with one stone."
Padres: Brach optioned to make room for Quentin
• Reliever Brad Brach, who had the second-lowest inherited runners scored percentage, was optioned to Triple-A Tucson before Saturday's game against the Nationals to make room for Carlos Quentin.
Quentin came back from paternity leave where he missed two games after his wife, Jeane, gave birth to the couple's first son, Clark, on Thursday. Quentin, who wasn't in the starting lineup Saturday, missed two games.
After a good rookie season, Brach got off to a rough start, allowing a grand slam on Opening Day against the Mets, and posting a 4.76 ERA in 17 innings over 19 games.
"Overall, I haven't been pitching to the best of my ability," Brach said. "With teams that are trying to go to the playoffs, you have to be at the top of your game, and I'm not. So I'm going to go and make a few adjustments and hopefully I'll be back soon."
Worth noting
• Johnson announced that Nats outfielder Jayson Werth will miss the three-game series against the Giants because of a right hamstring injury. He was scheduled to rejoin the Nats on Saturday against the Padres, but still has tightness in his hamstring. Johnson said that Werth went to Chicago to see a specialist and will visit the team doctors in DC on Monday.

USAID Mission Director visits Special Olympics Unified Sports training in Serbia
USAID Mission Director Susan Fritz surrounded by Special Olympics Unified players, coaches, volunteers, family members and program staff in Krusevac, Serbia. Photo courtesy of Special Olympics Serbia
A local Special Olympics Unified Sports® volleyball team was put through its paces as Ms. Susan Fritz, Mission Director, USAID Serbia and Montenegro, watched the training from the sidelines in Krusevac on 1 December, 2012. Ms. Fritz was attending the practical session of a two-day seminar that was organized as part of the "Inclusion for All" project supported by the United States Agency for International Development. The 18-month "Inclusion for All" project promotes democratic principles, gender equality and active citizenship which advance the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities.
Project activities include a series of seminars, such as the one in Krusevac, designed to give residents in 12 communities in Serbia and five communities in Montenegro an overview of the capacities of people with intellectual disabilities, particularly youth, and discuss strategies to encourage their inclusion into society. In addition to the seminars, new Unified teams that engage youths with and without intellectual disabilities as equals are being developed.
"The U.S. Agency for International Development supports this initiative with great pleasure and considers the issue of social inclusion as very important for the development of civil society," Ms. Fritz said. "USAID may have provided Special Olympics with funding for organizing this seminar, but without the Special Olympics Serbia team and its hard work and dedication, none of this would be possible. Your work is greatly appreciated and invaluable," she said.
In addition to athletes, parents, teachers and volunteers who participated in the seminar, Ms. Fritz was joined by city officials Mr. Nikola Petrovic, Deputy Mayor in charge of sports and Ms. Zorica Jovanovic, Head of the Office for Social Services. "We try to give our full support to all Special Olympics Serbia projects and especially those that focus on inclusion," said Mr. Petrovic.
The seminar was reported extensively in local newspapers and on local television.

Could not be happier with the monitor and the price. Purchased it to attach to a 14 inch laptop for ease of use and to save buying a new computer. It works great and lets these 60 something year old eyes use the laptop.
Very happy with this monitor. It is wider than high as another reviewer mentioned. Great color, easy set up. I wish the height was adjustable, but I just use a book. Otherwise, love it.
I order this monitor about 3 months ago and it was not the right size at all. Instead of 19 inches it was only 17.5 inches,but i said okay it looks okay so i will not complain then a couple of days ago the monitor screen just went blank,dead,completely out yet i guess that is what i deserve for doing business with a company that cares so little about offering quality products and would rather send you junk that is meant for the garbage heap. That is why i didn't even return it for they probably would only replace it with some other junk. Thanks a lot Overstock for sending me crap!!
It would be greatly improved if the monitor was not FIXED LEVEL.
The monitor sits about 2 inches from desktop and there is no way someone can use this without adjusting the monitor or place a stack of books under it. Very disappointed as this was a gift and once put together I has to disassemble and take home bc it's not useable

Every King Quality™ window is constructed of the FINEST materials for strength and durability. They stand up to harsh weather conditions season after season, year after year, while requiring almost no maintenance.
King Quality Camelot WindowsKeeping you warm in the winter...and cool in the summer.
"You can't go wrong by hiring the King Quality team!Quality products, warranty, workmanship and just agreat bunch of people to work with!" ~ Virginia from Melville
To save money and protect the environment, according to the Consumer Federation of America, the average American household spends $1,500 per year on energy costs. But energy-efficient windows can help save a bundle. In fact, you can reduce your energy bills by one-third by simply using low emissivity glass.But not only does it make financial sense, it's smart to do in view of limited global resources. Conscious consumers are increasingly making purchasing decisions based on current environmental realities. By using products that reduce energy consumption, one diminishes their environmental footprint, limiting usage of fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.Our goal remains the same: to set the standard for high efficiency residential glazing products. Now, with LoE³-366, a new standard has been created.
Introducing LoE³-366®
The ultimate performance glass. It just might make all other low-E glasses obsolete. LoE³-366 (pronounced low E cubed-366), delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility, and it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings, making it the perfect glass no matter where you live. The secret? An unprecedented triple layer of silver. This is beyond ordinary low-E glass; LoE³-366 sets the new standard.
Low-E times three makes the difference.
Now with three layers of year-round thermal protection, energy-efficient LoE² glass...and the benefits are exceptional!
Energy savings all year long.
The result: a clear coating that blocks even more solar gain than ever before, reflects heat and lets the light stream in. Notice the difference below between clear glass, regular low-E glass and newLoE³-366.
LoE³-366 provides the ultimate in fading protection.
The full-year benefits of LoE³-366 can be clearly seen. When the temperature soars in the summer, ordinary window glass just can't beat the heat, and tinted glass spoils the view. LoE³-366 is formulated to reject solar heat while maintaining attractive visibility, so it keeps the heat out while letting light in. As a matter of fact, LoE³-366 glass is our ultimate in performance and clarity.It blocks 95% of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays - a leading cause of fading (visible light also contributes to fading) - so your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings stay beautiful for years.During the cold weather, the insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. The better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will feel. In fact, the Efficient Windows Collaborative suggests that when glass surface temperature falls below 52°F, there is a risk of thermal discomfort. To maintain the best comfort during the winter, select a glass product that produces surface temperatures that will stay above this point during the coldest outdoor conditions.According the chart below, the insulating capability of LoE³-366 can't be compared to any other glass product. This is a key factor in the construction of comfortable homes. Additionally, the dramatic comfort improvement in windows with warm glass surfaces means the humidity of the indoor air can be controlled and maintained properly. Proper humidity levels will improve comfort and promote a healthier living environment.

Fancy Shape Salt Lamps
A stunning masterpiece, crafted from genuine Himalayan Crystal Salt. This salt bowl lamp beautifies any room in the house or office with its spectacular lighting patterns and all the benefits of a traditional salt
Salt crystal lamps, by emitting negative ions, significantly reduce innumerable indoor air pollutants. Negative ions have known benefits and may provide relief from sinus and allergies, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase work productivity and concentration, increase lung capacity and reduce susceptibility to colds and flu.
Perhaps you have noticed that your feelings of well-being are intensified in pure mountains air, or at the seashore, or after a thunderstorm. This is due to the higher concentration of negative ions in these surroundings. It is no coincidence that healing spas are, as a rule, located in areas with foaming salt water or roaring mountain springs which generate plentiful negative ions which causes air particles to achieve electrical or ionic balance.
Europeans have been aware of the HEALTH BENEFITS of salt for generations. People suffering from chronic congestive problems go to clinics located in salt mines for treatment! Its called SPELEOTHERAPY. The very dry, negative ion-rich environment of these salt mines help to clear out the patient�s bronchial tubes and sinuses to kill bacteria and other microbes.
Salt crystal lamps are highly suitable for daily use in the whole house, in bedrooms, in living rooms, in dining rooms, in the hallway, in meditations rooms, near televisions, computers and around smokers. Use these beautiful lamps in offices to reduce fatigue, the lamps will minimize the effect of all that radiations and beautifies surroundings of your work area, it improves your concentration and refreshes you by neutralizing the effects of an artificial environment.
