What about Azula? You made it seem like she'd have a minor role in the story but she was never seen or heard from again.

Rarely do I find a fanfiction where everyone is so perfectly in character it /hurts/, and I applaud you for it because it can't be easy to get these two idiots together when they're so good at being idiots. I laughed until I nearly cried at everyone's absolute ridiculousness, while at the same time I adored the fluffiness and absolute love they felt for each other even when they were too afraid to admit it. I like how the most unlikely character (Mai) was such a big part in getting them together, because she's usually played off as unemotional and cold-hearted when really she just doesn't like to involve herself in unnecessary drama (and she's great at hiding what she's really feeling). All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this fanfiction, and I thank you for posting it for us to read. I wish you all the best with any and all future writing endeavors.
Happy writing! :)

Recently I started to read Taang's Fanfics, so as long as I did, I think this is one of the most Great Works, I hope you dont change but keep evolving your style, thanks and I really like this Fic.
| Guest chapter 5 . 6/7
AWSOME! There needs to be more TAang fans out there 'cause Katara does NOT like Aang! She was adamant that she loved him as a br9ther through out the entire show but near the end she all of a sudden desides that she loves him, WHAT, THE, HECK! there was no warning just "hey I'm suddenly in love with my little brother figure that has had a crush on me from day one". Thatlnk you for listening to my rambling l, and AWSOME STORY SO FAR!

| Tsuuga chapter 26 . 4/4
too much sweetness... now I really can't decide if I like Taang or Toko better. I'm leaning more towards Taang now, beacuse of this fic, it has to be the best Taang I've ever read. amazing work, well-written, well-structured, even if you weren't sure the entire time where you wanted it to go. it was pure gold

Gosh, they're so cute! I can barely contain my squeals as I type this. I really like how you wrote this. Very detailed, but never-not in a single occasion-ever losing it's sweet factor. Really loved it :3
| j chapter 26 . 3/8
that was great i loved it!
| Queen-Of-The-SuperNatural chapter 26 . 1/31
Katara, Sokka, Suki, Ty Lee, and Zuko are all still in the dark. They have no frickin idea that this all started with a bit of practice XD. I want to know if Sokka ever found out that Aang was never with Ty Lee, and if so, his reaction when told. I love this story, and it's already in my favorites.
Keep on writing, because we all know...

Unlike English, Japanese is very basic, with only 46 distinct sounds to learn. Yet it does take some practice to learn how to master all of the nuances of this incredible language. The best way to begin learning Japanese is to explore the language on your own before seeking professional assistance. After that, immerse yourself in the culture so that you can begin to achieve fluency.
Study the Characters and their Specific Sounds
Once you are able to correspond the Japanese character with the proper sound, you will be able to begin to be able to speak some of the more common words. As with any language, start with conversation starters like hello, how are you, and nice to meet you along with enders like goodbye or have a nice day. Keep in mind that Japanese does not have rules with greetings, for example you can only say good day until sunset, and then must switch to good night in order to not be considered rude.
Think of Your Most Basic Conversations
Once you have greetings down, think of the basic conversations you have with acquaintances every day. Learn not only how to say how are you, but listen for how it sounds so when asked you respond properly. I am fine, thank you, sorry, excuse me, and I don't know are all common phrases that will get you at least halfway started in making conversation.
Invest in an English – Japanese Dictionary
Having an understanding of the characters and the sounds they make will enable you to use a dictionary to pick up more basic words and phrases. Use it for practice as you watch TV or ride on the subway to start your way towards Japanese mastery. This is a complex language to learn, but you will be able to overcome those complexities with hours of practice.
Look at the Common Japanese Words Around You and Start Making the Connection
You already know some Japanese, but because the words have been modified, you likely don't realize it. Think of the major car companies like Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Kia. These are all derived from the Japanese character alphabet. Another good example is the konjac sponge. These are used to deep clean the face, and come from a plant that is found primarily in Japan. Sound out the word konjac and find the corresponding characters for each syllable, and you'll know how to spell it in two different languages. There are a variety of Japanese words you'll come across in beauty products, as you'll find at beautifullyunrefined.com.
Japanese presents a unique challenge to learn because of its complicated character system. Once you are able to overcome that, you should be able to enter a class better prepared than the rest of the students.
With the internet now such an import part of commerce, there is rapid growth in international corporations. This makes knowing a second language a big selling point when trying to land a job. We took a look at the lovely Finland recently to see what their customs are when it comes to having foreign business associates in their midst.
The first thing you should know is that with Finland, and most European countries, you should not expect that your foreign business associates will be fluent in English. In fact, in a country like Finland which is very reserved, it will be considered rude if you are sent there without at least a rudimentary understanding of the language. When looking at this research into Finnish business practices, we found out a few other interesting tidbits:
Don't bother bringing your very own portable infrared sauna or sauna blanket along on the trip. Business meetings are often held inside of a sauna. Don't think this means you should invite business associates to your portable infrared one. Instead, your Finn business associate will ask you to the sauna for an informal meeting, and this is a request that is considered rude to refuse. This is a sign of hospitality and a means of getting to know your new colleagues. Thank goodness you took that time to first learn the Finnish language.
You also must be aware of how you look when doing business in Finland. Finns abhor signs of wealth, and see it as a way to object superiority over others. Dress like your new associates, and avoid designer accessories and large amounts of jewelry, and you will be better received.
For all of your time spent on learning Finnish, don't expect much chit-chat or small talk. Finns prefer to sit in silence rather than talk about inane topics. Also always make sure you are on time. The people of Finland value punctuality and will consider it extremely rude, and a sign that you feel superior, if you show up to events and meetings late.
When you are showing off your Finnish language skills, avoid showing signs of emotion, or using your hands too much when speaking. Finns are straight to the point kind of people, and appreciate professionalism from business colleagues. In that same token, do not interrupt when a Finnish associate is speaking. If you have a question or something to add, you will need to wait until they are finished. Once again, this goes back to the Finnish strong belief in a utalitarian society, where everyone is viewed at the same level.
It is a good idea to study up on any country you will be visiting professionally. All have their unique practices and beliefs. If you know and respect those, you will be better representing your company.
Whether it be English or French, taking on a foreign language is not an easy feat. It requires focus, determination and a lot of extra studying. If you find that you are having a hard time with the studying part, try some of these tips to help make the words come to you easier.
Start by Changing your Studying Attitude
Attitude means a lot, even when you are trying to take on a new language. Approach studying as an opportunity, rather than a task. This is something that you should enjoy doing if you want to achieve the best results. Don't compare yourself to anyone else, or put yourself down, instead look at studying as a way to improve your life and you will find that your focus improves.
Now Find the Right Place to Study
Raise your hand if you study with the TV on. Unless it is tuned to a channel in the foreign language you are studying, you are studying in the wrong place. A quiet corner in the house, the library or even a table in a coffee house are much better so long as there are not any distractions for you. If you find that you are constantly staring out the window, it may be time to turn the chair around. Studying requires full concentration, and a quiet place is the only place to get that.
Buy an Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace
This may sound strange, but studies show that essential oils can help boost focus and concentration. If you just can't get conjugating verbs in French, mix up a blend of: frankincense oil, sandalwood oil, Melissa oil, cedarwood oil, blue cypress, lavender and helichrysum oil. Combined into one mixture and worn in your essential oil diffuser necklace, verbs will be conjugating themselves as you take in all you need to know about the foreign language you are studying.
Use Memory Games
If you are having trouble with a concept in your foreign language, try associating it with something else. Tricking your brain to take another path to the answer will help you in your memory skills. This is a technique in studying that has been used for generations.
Picture the Word in Your Mind
This is a technique for people who learn better by seeing than hearing. If you are having trouble with pronunciation, write the word down a number of times. Sounding it out as you write. When it comes time to use that word in a conversation, you will picture the letters in sequence, and will be better equipped to pronounce it correctly.
Practice Does Make Perfect
With language study, the more you use it, the better you will get. Converse with yourself in the foreign language. Grab a friend from class and converse with them. The more you practice the words, the easier they will start rolling off of your tongue.
This is not an easy undertaking, and you should be patting yourself on the back just for taking it on. If you take learning a new language as a fun challenge, you are going to find that studying for it becomes a looked forward to part of your day.
There have been recent medical crises around the world that have shown us just how dire the need is for foreign medical care. These nations lack the resources and skills to give quality health care to their populations in a why that many of us take for granted.
Skilled medical professionals from all fields can help by joining forces with organizations that work to provide the care that is needed. If you work in any of the following medical professions and want to do something extraordinary with your skills, learn a foreign language and then take your job abroad:
Emergency Room Physicians
Doctors and nurses who work in an emergent environment have the skills needed to take care of patients who are living in war torn areas of the world. Knowing how to triage, evaluate and improvise is essential in these situations. Learn the language of a country who is struggling from the effects of a prolonged war, and you can make a big difference in saving innocent lives that are being affected by it.
General Physicians
A great many third world countries are still unable to provide even basic health care. A general physician who is able to communicate will not only be vital in curing illness and disease, they can assist in showing the citizens how to take better care of themselves. Contaminated water for example is a big cause of disease around the world. A trained physician can discuss the importance of boiling water first, before drinking it.
Ultrasound Technicians
Ultrasound technology has replaced the x-ray as the preferred choice for medical imaging. With your special skill, you can assist a physician in the diagnosis of disease. Your training to become an ultrasound technician provided you with the skills needed to not just examine unborn babies, but also to explore the entire body and provide the information needed for a treatment plan. If you are an ultrasound technician interested in making a global difference, learn a new language and then take your skills overseas.
Part of the problem with treating worldwide disease is the sheer volume of people who are affected. Trained nurses are professionals at multi-tasking with multiple patients and can assist a physician in hundreds of ways. A nursing degree combined with the knowledge of a second language would be invaluable to an organization that is providing medical care world wide.
It is almost shameful to see thousands of people suffering from illness and disease that industrialized nations have long abolished. Medical professionals should take that into consideration and consider taking their specialized skills to parts of the world where it is needed most.
One of the most interesting flubs in global language is the word football. For 99% of the countries around the globe, football is played with a round ball that is kicked around a field. Yet in just one country – the USA- the word football describes a sport that is the polar opposite.
This little flub can cause a lot of confusion when trying to talk sports in a foreign language. While you may be talking up the upcoming Super Bowl and the Seattle Sea Hawks, your foreign friend is rubbing their head in confusion. If you want to make sure that your point is being made, you have to own up to it and call the oval ball version of the game American football.
Sports offer a great opportunity for casual conversation in any language. If you are looking for ways to get to know your new neighbors in France, talk to them about sports and they will become very interested in what you have to say.
Start by doing a little culture check. What types of sports are popular in the countries where your foreign language study is spoken? You won't need to worry about knowing the word surfboard if you are learning the language of a land locked country like Germany. Familiarize yourself with the sports they do like, and start to learn the basics to describe it.
The Equipment
Each sport comes with its own set of essential equipment that you will want to learn first. The word for ball is always a good start. For countries where archery is popular you will need to know how to say target, recurve bow and arrows of course. Knowing the basic equipment, like a recurve bow for archery (learn more at fastflightarchery.com), gets you off to a good sport lingo start.
Learn the basics of the game. For example, a foreigner who is trying to learn American English would study up on baseball. The type of field, number of innings and jargon such as strike and ball would have to be studied. But the end result would be a foreigner who can chat about the Yankees winning last night with everyone they come in contact with.
To get pronunciation of sports terminology down, you may have to watch it on TV. By listening to the broad casters you will learn the right way to say recurve bow in German. A good part of your battle is going to be pronunciation, but if you listen more than you talk you should soon be able to emulate it.
The more versed you are in a foreign language the more opportunity you will have to use it. It's one thing to speak in classroom environment, but something else entirely when you put your foreign language skill to practical use.
In almost any job imaginable, knowing a second language can open more doors for you. There are however certain occupations where a career may actually be enhanced. Since you need to take minor courses to get a degree anyway, you should always choose at least one language to study that will make sense for your future career.
An Attorney
A lawyer of any type should study latin if at all possible, but any Latin based language if not. This includes the vast majority of languages around the world, so even taking Spanish will give you more linguistic tools to break down Latin words. Also consider the area you are going to be working in and any other special considerations. For example, an immigration lawyer may want to consider Spanish as his second lawyer considering the influx of immigrants from Latin American countries has grown over the last decade.
Any Type of Medical Professional
Medical professionals deal with people from all walks of life. If you are able to speak another language, you will be the one called if someone from that country is seeking medical assistance where you work. This does not just apply to physicians either. An ultrasound technician for example should have at least one foreign language under their belt if they want to be able to help pregnant women from all over the world.
Wedding Photographer
As someone who is going to be in very close contact with a large group a people, wedding photographers should also consider learning to speak multiple languages. It is an important part of their job to communicate not only with the couple but with the friends and family of the couple too. A Calgary wedding photographer for example will be dealing in French and English of course, but should also be prepared to deal with an older generation that came to the area from Poland. Even a basic course in the native language of some of the families a Calgary wedding photographer will be working with will make it easier to tell them to smile for the camera or change position in a lineup of family.
As the internet continues to grow, so does the need for good copywriters. Even if you can't write, you can apply for editing positions. Freelance editing is needed in almost all languages for web development and could increase your ability to always find work by increasing the number of jobs you can apply for.
The opportunities you have in life increase exponentially with every foreign language that you learn. Pack your resume full of foreign language experience, and the job offers will be pounding on your door.

With few exceptions, all languages come from a one basic root. Once you pick up on the subtle differences amongst other countries you will have a much easier time translating what is being said to you, and how to get your own point across.
It sounds cliché, but the American habit of throwing a vowel at the end of their words to try to make them sound foreign is really not that far off. Wine becomes vino and cigarette becomes cigarro. It isn't always that easy, but if you know the base of the word, you can usually get the gist across.
I learned the value of knowing languages other than English years ago while traveling through the Americas. I had half heartedly taken French during high school and learned in my travels that French and Spanish were very closely related. This helped me in getting out of a lot of jams while in Mexico.
It was during this travel time that I found myself in El Salvador of all places for Thanksgiving. As this is one of those holidays not celebrated outside the US, I thought it would be fun to show our host family some of our traditions.
Trouble was that in tropical countries such as this one, no one uses an oven. In fact, the home we were in had one as part of their stove top, but the mother had no idea how to light it. Not wanting to scare her, or use up all their canned gas cooking a turkey, I decided to try and find a deep fryer (hoping for one like these, based off the awesome reviews) to cook it in.
This turned into quite the adventure as I was at the time without any type of dictionary and had no idea how to explain to a sales clerk what a deep fryer even was. Then my French kicked in and I started to think about how they call their fries. Papas fritas. Deep eluded me so I went back to the old stand by of throwing a vowel on the end of machine. A machina for fritas got a few blank stares at first, until one guy did the hand to forehead smack and brought out to me the perfect deep fryer to cook our turkey.
In French and Spanish the base for machine is the same as in English, just like other words such as study and family. By catching on to that I was able to use my cursory French lessons to become a somewhat conversational Spanish speaker.
What I took from that trip more than anything was the need for everyone to study at least one other language and become its master. With so many common roots tying them altogether you will have an advantage with trying to speak other languages as well. If you have the opportunity to take classes and expand your international vocabulary, take it because you never know when you may be in search of your own deep fryer while visiting a foreign country.
A lot of people want to learn other languages for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, in some cases, some people just could not find the time to go to an institution and learn about it. It could be because of the busy work schedule, juggling tasks at home, school work, and other reasons.

Since the beginning of time, languages do exist. The world is made up of quite a number of languages, those that are well known and a few that are not widely recognized. A language enables communication across National borders; hence language barrier may pose cultural, economic and political challenges within the Nations. Learning a particular language could be seen as difficult, but the perception can change if one adds extra effort on the task bearing in mind that there are those who are fluent in both writing and speech in a minimum of ten languages from across the borders.
English is said to be a universal language though it is not the first language to all communities worldwide. Mostly it comes second after each and everyone's mother tongue. English is a useful and important language which is used to connect and build bonds between nations and recently it has been used in peace keeping missions. In simple terms, English can be classified as a symbol for Unity.
Most of the learning Institutions take English as the medium to all courses. Very few courses are taught using different languages unless it is an order from the administration depending with students' curriculum demands. Most of the poets and other artists show their skills and talents in English. For those who do it in their native languages, they in the end find their way out by re-doing their pieces of work in English, a clear indication that it is a language accepted globally.
Most of the businesses and places of formal employment, knowledge of English is the most essential and necessary requirement for one to get employed. This is for the purpose of making proper negotiations with clients. A firm can easily collapse if it is run by a management that is not conversant with the language that its clients are. This is because technology is dynamic and most of the times it comes with gadgets to be used to reduce labor or as an attachment. All gadgets must have manuals with instructions about their use and most are written in English since they are made to be used worldwide. Knowledge of English however adds value to a business.
The English language has brought together communities from all regions. It has made it easier for people to learn and appreciate different cultures from different regions worldwide. Many people today are travelling around the world with a clear idea of what to expect or with the knowledge of what characterizes the region e.g. its demographic, environmental and cultural factors. This has been simplified by social sites and the media at large.
All in all, there are many other languages with a large number of speakers globally. These languages are equally useful and relevant. They have been used to substitute English; others have been used to work out daily activities while others have been learnt for leisure. They include French, Spanish, Russian, German, Portuguese and Hindu in the order of their relevance. But even after all is said English outshines them all and remains the best language to learn.

While another typically cold, grey Wisconsin winter winds down, spring is inching back into the air. All the signs are there: Baseball is back in business, the flowers and plants are beginning to bloom again, and bikes are emerging from their winter hibernation. And in the Layton Boulevard West Neighbors (LBWN), the return of the bikes also signals the return of the Mobile Bike Hub.
Published March 13, 2015
Bublr, the city's first bike share system, rolled out last year and was subsequently rolled back in before winter. But while the wheels were only on the ground for a limited time, the company still deemed it a success, coasting through the finish line with an impressive 5,500 trips. What was not so successful, however, was the confusing pricing. So as Bublr gears up to return, the company announced a new, simpler pricing structure.

This afternoon, Bublr Bikes announced and began installing the first of its 10 inaugural bike-share stations in downtown Milwaukee. The first station, set at Red Arrow Park, marks the first step in an extended launch that is expected to grow up to 40 more similar stations throughout Milwaukee in 2015 - with the goal of hitting 100 stations and 1,000 shareable bikes within the next few years.
It's given that life in the city will bring mishaps, theft, tickets... even accidents. Some of the worst accidents are bike accidents due to the fact that a driver doesn't see a bicyclist, or even realize that they are hogging the bike lane.

I've created table system.aud_$$ (copy of sys.aud$).Why you you doing above job , what is a purpose
Than i created scheduled job, whitch once per day
iserts data from sys.aud$ in to system.aud_$$ table.
Do i have all records on system.aid_$$, or is itThere is possibility that you may miss some records
possible to miss some records when job is inserting
record to table and after that execute truncate
2. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$babylon Jun 7, 2007 12:41 AM (in response to ViragSharma)I'd like to keep audit record from sys.aud$ for long time, but not on dictionary table, and copy record automaticity and to set free space on system tablespace.
I'm dba novice, and this is now best what i can do. So, if you have beter solution, please share it.
3. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$ViragSharma Jun 7, 2007 1:25 AM (in response to babylon)There are lots of doc/discussion available on metalink, check Note:72460.1 and Note:1019377.6
4. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$babylon Jun 7, 2007 5:27 AM (in response to ViragSharma)Hello again
Yes i saw that doc, but i don't wont to move aud$ table out of system tablespace. I want to move only rows to different tablespace in different storage. And my boss also dont't want to use delete table sys.aud$. How can i prevent to miss some records between insert and truncate...
5. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$ajallen Jun 7, 2007 7:11 AM (in response to babylon)You cannot. Truncate will blow away everything in the table. To make sure you do not loose rows from AUD$, you have to delete only those rows you have archived. To use truncate and loose as few rows as possible, you will have to lock all login accounts (or take database to restricted mode) and terminate all existing sessions, archive and truncate aud$, and then open up to logins again.
6. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$babylon Jun 7, 2007 7:47 AM (in response to ajallen)I agree with you ajallen, thanks for your co-operation and help.
7. Re: TRUNCATE SYS.AUD$Madrid Jun 7, 2007 8:29 AM (in response to babylon)This approach is not convenient if you want to perform auditing tasks, as the current information cannot be retreived from your created table. DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL as well as the other related AUDIT views are based on the SYS.AUD$. It is useless to move data so immediately. Your approach is not far from another good practice, though.
I suggest you to redefine your audit record retention policy. Keep records at the SYS.AUD$ for a predefined amount of time, let's say for two months for example, then schedule a procedure to be launched daily, this procedure will insert/delete to your table and delete from the sys.aud$ table.
This way you ensure all SYS.AUD$ records will be there by the audit views when required according to your audit policies, and you keep your audit log table trimmed.

Posted December 10, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Brooklyn Nets could be getting the help they need to break a four-game slide in time for another visit by the New York Knicks. Brook Lopez turned in a big game the first time these Atlantic Division rivals met and could be back for Tuesday night's matchup. Brooklyn (11-8) won 96-89 in overtime over New York (15-5) at home on Nov. 26. The game was originally scheduled as the Nets' opener in their new home before it was postponed by Superstorm Sandy. Lopez starred with 22 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks. The Nets big man has missed the last five games with a mild foot sprain. The lack of his defensive presence has been evident with opponents shooting 52.1 percent against the Nets during their skid. Lopez practiced Monday, and it will be a game-time decision if he plays. "I'm feeling good," Lopez said. "It was great to go through an entire practice. I wasn't sure I'd be able to - not necessarily because of whatever happened with my foot, but just my conditioning." Coach A...

4 Executives Leave Barneys for E-Commerce
Published: June 21, 2000
Four senior executives of Barneys New York said yesterday that they were resigning, a move that could signal a new round of trouble for the fashion retailer.
The four executives said that they would all be moving to Eve.com, an Internet retailer specializing in beauty products.
Eve is financed by Idealab, the same Internet incubator behind Etoys Inc. and NetZero Inc. Its chief executive is the former Barneys chief executive, Thomas Shull.
Among those departing Barneys are Catherine Nguyen, who had been vice president and a divisional merchandise manager, and Emilia Fabricant, a senior vice president. The other executives who left were Lisa Gorevitz and Julie Levy.
Barney's Inc., which filed for bankruptcy in 1996, is now owned and run by two companies specializing in distressed properties, Whippoorwill Associates of White Plains and Bay Harbour Management of New York.
Last May, they hired Allen Questrom, the former chief executive of Federated Department Stores, to act as the chairman and chief executive of Barneys.
