Summary: In which young Zuko disapproves of "Love Amongst the Dragons" (the tale of Princess Soza, Avatar Kuro, and a love that was never meant to be)
Note: Minor spoilers for the clip of "The Ember Island Players" shown at NYCC
Thanks to foxysquid for her help with brainstorming, and to peri_peteia and jlh for their guidance!
Zuko had been to the theater many times before. Grand operas were regularly composed to celebrate his nation's glorious history, and the royal family was expected to attend the first performance of each one. Zuko often had a difficult time following the stories, which were sung in an archaic language that had been spoken in the Fire Nation before it adopted the Earth Kingdom's common tongue. But the costumes were interesting, and the key parts of the plot -- romance, battle, death and glory -- were clear even to him.
But Zuko had often felt that he was missing something; that the subtleties were obscured by his own shortcomings. And so, when he was still very young but old enough to understand how such things worked, he asked his mother if he could read the script for each production before he saw it. Delighted by his interest, she had agreed immediately, and soon a corner of his bedroom was overrun with scroll cases and dictionaries.
At first, he hadn't been able to understand them any better than the performances themselves -- the words were written in familiar characters instead of the ancient script of the Sun Warriors, but those characters were used for their sounds and not their meanings. Azula laughed when she found him tucked away in a corner of the library, muttering to himself as he struggled through scholarly texts. He ignored her, the laughter only galvanizing him.
When he had learned enough to read the simplest operas, his first reaction was disappointment. The stories were all very much the same -- a powerful and merciless Fire Lord sailing across the sea to conquer new lands for his nation, slaying proud Earthbender kings and rescuing the Fire Nation beauties they held hostage. He had hoped there was more to it than that, but again and again, the same tale unfolded.
His mother looked on with interest as he devoured scroll after scroll, sometimes asking what he thought of them. Zuko felt guilty about his growing resentment -- after all, she'd gone through the trouble of having the scripts delivered to him, and he didn't want her to think he was ungrateful. He answered her questions with what he hoped was a convincing amount of enthusiasm, a forced smile on his face.
He was not, perhaps, as opaque as he wished to be. One afternoon he returned from his Firebending lessons to find a new set of scrolls sitting in the middle of his bed. They smelled like his mother, white lotus and jasmine tea. He sat crosslegged on the bed and unrolled the first act curiously. It was titled "Love Amongst the Dragons," and was written in the common tongue.
At first, Zuko wasn't sure why his mother had thought he'd find this play interesting. To begin with, the main character was a girl -- a beautiful princess, sheltered within the palace walls. Zuko had long ago tired of princesses, and would have tossed it aside in disgust if not for a nagging sense of obligation. His mother had given it to him. He should read it. Resigned, he stretched out on his bed with his chin propped up in one hand.
The play was set in a time before the war, a world Zuko found difficult to imagine. He tried to think what it must have been like before the defeat of the Air Nomad armies, before the Water Tribe savages retreated to their icy strongholds, before the Earth Kingdom's coasts swallowed their pride and accepted the Fire Lord's benevolence. He supposed it must have been very quiet, and that uncles and fathers had spent less time away from home.
The princess's name was Soza, and she had only one friend in the world: Kuro, a boy her own age who was the son of a nobleman. They had known each other since they were very small, and for many years they spent their days together, learning Firebending and the courtly arts, and playing with the hatchling dragons they had each been given as soon as they were old enough to care for them. As children, their friendship was pure and unwavering, the sort Zuko himself had often longed for. But as they neared adulthood that friendship began to change.
Zuko didn't understand all of it -- whole scenes were composed of endless talk of fire and flowers blossoming, which he found boring and also pointless. But as he plowed through soliloquies about the flame that burned in her heart, it dawned on Zuko that Soza had fallen in love with her friend.
He sighed. He knew where this was going. Soza would be kidnapped by someone or another -- pirates, rebels, it didn't much matter -- and Kuro would rescue her, crush their enemies and take her as his wife. He unrolled the play's second scroll with a weary reluctance. The girls in these stories were never interesting, or at all like the girls he knew. Not even Ty Lee, the girliest girl he'd ever met, would sit around and wait for some boy to come find her.
The second act began on the eve of Kuro and Soza's sixteenth birthday -- they had been born on the same day, and shared their parties as they shared everything else. Soza spoke at length to her dragon, Qian Xing, of her plans to confess her love to Kuro once they had a moment alone. They were old enough to be married, and she felt she could wait no longer.
But as the young friends stood together beneath the fireworks celebrating their birth, the crowd parted and fell silent. The oldest and wisest of the Fire Sages, so rarely seen outside the walls of their temple, had journeyed to the palace in order to reveal the new Avatar. His name, they said, was Kuro. And he would leave the capital with them the very next day.
Zuko's eyes widened as he reread the passage several times over, certain he must have misunderstood. But the text was very clear. As he read on, Soza pleaded with her friend to ignore the Sages' call, to stay with her in the palace and live as they always had. His refusal was gentle but unwavering -- he belonged to the world, now, and would do what the world expected of him. Soza told him that she understood, but her words were hollow. That night she slept with Qian Xing coiled around her, weeping against the dragon's scales as they waited for the dawn.
Kuro was not permitted to take anything with him, save his own dragon, Long Chi. He promised to write, but did not. He promised to visit, but the years stretched on without his setting foot on Fire Nation soil. Soza ached with loneliness, and as time passed that ache soured into resentment. Who was he to ignore her? Who was he to turn his back on the life they had shared?
The day came that Soza was crowned Fire Lord, and once its armies were under her control her bitter gaze turned outward. The Avatar was meant to bring balance to the world -- that was what she had been told, and what Kuro himself had said to her before he went away. But she did not see it that way. Kuro was a son of the Fire Nation; he belonged to his country, owed his allegiance to the crown, not to faceless strangers in distant lands. She would make him see. She would give him the chance to chose the right path, as he should have on the day the Sages came.
At least, that's what she said to Qian Xing, though Zuko wasn't convinced. It seemed stupid to him that she was sitting in the palace being angry. If she wanted to see Kuro that badly, she should just go and find him. If it had been him, he never would have waited so long in the first place.
In the end, ten years passed before Soza saw the Avatar's face again. She did not go out to the courtyard to greet him. She waited on her throne behind her curtain of flame, its brightness and heat betraying the all the turmoil her blank expression tried to conceal. She counted her own, quick heartbeats and thought of what she would say, and what he might say in return.
The golden doors swung open, and Kuro stepped through them unattended. At first he regarded her silently, his lips pressed tightly together and his hands curled into fists. He was taller, his face bearded and his shoulders broad beneath his cloak. When he spoke, his deep voice -- a man's voice, so different from the one she remembered -- seemed to swell and fill the room, shrinking the vast space, making her feel as if the walls were pressing down around her.
He was not pleased by Soza's triumphs. He had seen the red banners draped on Earth Kingdom walls, the first, tentative colonies pushing in from the coasts, and the sight of it had sickened him. People had died, he said. People had lost their homes. People had fled, and where they went the whispering followed, tales of the Fire Lord's swift cruelty and her hunger for lands she had no right to. His friend would never have done these things. She stared at him through the flames, and his eyes were those of a stranger.
Her pain sharpened into rage, and the rage boiled from her hands toward the man who was Kuro only in name. The Avatar had not been seen in Zuko's lifetime, or in the lifetime of his father, but even he knew that this was a foolish thing to do. He was right -- the throne room crumbled before the whirlwind of Kuro's fury, shattering into a jumble of splintered wood and twisted metal. The battle was short and brutal. In the end, Soza dangled by her robes from a column of stone Kuro had bent out of the wreckage, helpless as she had never been before, tears of humiliation on her cheeks. The man she had loved -- still loved, even now -- told her she was lucky to have been left with her life and her crown. And then he was gone.
It was Qian Xing who found her. She lifted Soza down from column and carried her away, over the capital and the mountains surrounding it, over the ocean, to the barren shore of an island too small to have a name. Zuko forced himself to read every mournful line of her soliloquy, spoken as she knelt on black lava rocks, facing the sea. She spoke of fire that burned the years away; of the walls time built around men's hearts. Her soul had died in that throne room, she said, her hand on Qian Xing's flank; now her body would avenge it. The world would suffer as she had.
Zuko's mother was in the garden when he found her, a small desk balanced on her lap. She put it aside as Zuko approached, then smiled at him. "I was just writing your uncle," she said. "Is there a message you'd like me to give him for you?"
Zuko barely heard her. "The last part is missing," he said, unable to keep the urgency out of his voice.
"The last part of what?"
"The play," he said. "The one about the dragons." He was reluctant to admit an interest in Soza herself, but dragons seemed a safe subject.
Ursa folded her hands in her lap and regarded him seriously. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
"How many scrolls did you read?"
He thought for a moment. "Three."
"Then you've read all of it," she said, her voice gentle.
Zuko gaped at her. "But...Mom, that can't be the ending!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's stupid!"
His mother considered this, frowning seriously. "How so?"
Zuko tried to think of a way to explain that wasn't too embarrassing. "Well...Kuro never apologized!"
His mother nodded slowly. "That's right. He didn't."
"And Soza never told him..." Zuko scowled down at the grass, his cheeks hot. "She only ever talked to her stupid dragon!"
"It is called 'Love Amongst the Dragons,' Zuko."
"Well it's a stupid play."
"So you didn't like it?"
She sighed. "I suppose I'll have to take your sister instead, then."
Zuko blinked and looked up at her. "Take her where?"
"To see it. The Ember Island Players are putting on a production. I thought you might want to go, but if you hated the play that much-"
"I didn't hate it," he said cagily. "I just thought the ending was stupid."
"Really?" One corner of her mouth quirked into a smile. "Well, you might prefer this version."
"What do you mean?" He couldn't keep the curiosity out of his voice.
"You'll see."
No amount of pressing would convince her to explain herself. By the night of the performance, though Zuko had told himself over and over again that this was a stupid play, that he was only going to see to humor his mother, and that there was absolutely no reason at all to be excited, his heart was pounding with anticipation. As the prelude swelled from the orchestra pit he found himself leaning forward, mouth slightly open, his fingertips digging into his thighs.
Zuko was completely silent as they left the theater. He could feel his mother's eyes on him, but he didn't look up at her. If he did, she would ask what he'd thought of the play, and he would tell her he didn't know, and she would ask why, and then he'd have to try and explain. And he wasn't ready to explain, yet. He knew what he was supposed to be feeling -- happiness, relief, maybe even a little smug -- but he didn't really feel any of those things. Mostly he just felt exhausted.
Once they were seated in their palanquin, his mother leaned forward and rested her chin on the palm of one long, white hand. "You're awfully quiet," she said. He glanced up and confirmed that she was, in fact, smiling at him in that indulgent, grown-up way that made Zuko feel like be was being petulant even when he knew perfectly well he was not.
"I'm fine," he said shortly. "The play was fine." He added this in an attempt to put her off, though he knew it was probably futile. His mother was relentless.
"I thought you might like this version," she said.
"You seemed so disappointed by the ending when you read it."
Zuko scowled down at the floor of the palanquin. "I guess."
"Wasn't this better?"
Zuko crossed his arms and glared out the slatted window, his face burning. "No," he said, before he could stop himself. "No, it wasn't."
The line for tickets at the box office was longer than they'd expected -- apparently "The Boy In The Iceberg" was something of a hit, and it seemed every exhausted parent, overexcited child and bored teenager on the island had turned out to see that evening's performance. Zuko wasn't much for crowds on the best of days, especially not one so likely to recognize him. He pulled his hood down over his face, wishing he didn't have to wear it at all in this heat.
"I'm gonna go get something to drink," said Aang, sweating under the weight of his enormous hat. "Want anything?"
Zuko noticed, then, that two familiar-looking boys were ambling towards him -- the admiral's son and his hair-obsessed friend. "I'll come with you," said Zuko quickly, turning away from the two boys. After what he'd done to their beach house, he wasn't eager to be noticed by either of them.
As they walked together toward the concession stand, Aang eyed the line anxiously. "I hope they don't sell out," he said. "Sokka really wants to see this thing."
"I hope it does sell out," Zuko grumbled. "It's probably terrible."
Aang ordered six bottles of coconut juice and a bag of fire flakes for Sokka. "The poster looked interesting," he said as he dug through his pockets for coins.
Zuko picked up the bottles while Aang paid. "The poster always looks interesting," he said. "And the play is always terrible. They butchered-"
"'Love Amongst the Dragons,' I know," said Aang. He laughed. "What's that even about, anyway?"
Years had passed since the last time Zuko had read that play -- almost a decade -- and he hadn't thought about it at all for most of the time in between. But he had an excellent memory for such things, and the story came back to him easily once he'd started to explain. Neither of them were particularly eager to stand in line again, so they took the long way back to where their friends were waiting, ambling along the shady walkways that hugged the outside of the building. Aang listened raptly, though midway through the story his smile faded into a befuddled little frown.
"So she just sat on the island with her dragon and cried, basically," said Zuko. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "That's what was supposed to happen, anyway. But of course, the cultural minister got his hands on it. Plays can't have endings like that in the Fire Nation. So they wrote another act."
"It was so ridiculous...Kuro comes back to the capital, but instead of telling Soza to stop trying to conquer the Earth Kingdom, he thanks her. He's the Avatar and he gets down on his knees and thanks her for reminding him of the greatness of the homeland. And she forgives him for straying from the true path, and they kiss, and then they spend the next twenty minutes riding their dragons around while they take over the world. And they wrap it all up with a huge wedding in the ruins of Ba Sing Se."
"They literally climb up on top of what's left of the walls and talk about how their love is like the everlasting flame of progress." Zuko shifted the bottles in his arms, wrenched the top off of one of them and took an angry gulp. "Like I said, they butchered it." There was no reply, and when he glanced down he saw that Aang had one hand over his mouth, clearly trying not to laugh. "What's so funny?" he asked, annoyed.
"Zuko, are you sure Soza was a girl?" Aang failed utterly to keep a straight face. "And you know...not a real person? Like a real person you're related to?"
"Of course she was a girl," Zuko snapped. "And it's just a play. Why would you..." His voice trailed off. His footsteps slowed and stopped, and for a few minutes he stood very still, staring down at Aang as two stories shifted into alignment. "Huh," he said. He wasn't sure what else there was to say.
"Roku never mentioned..." Aang gestured vaguely, then let out an embarrassed giggle.
"It's just a play," said Zuko, without any conviction whatsoever.
"If you say so," said Aang, though he was still grinning. They started walking again, Aang jogging a little to keep up with Zuko's rapid strides. "Your mom gave it to you?"
"I hope I get to meet her someday," said Aang. "She must be pretty great." He grinned. "And have a good sense of humor."
Zuko's chest tightened a little, remembering how she'd smiled at him that day. "She does," he said quietly. "Better than I knew, I guess."

Child abuse charges raise questions of appropriate behavior, warning signs in schools
SALT LAKE CITY — A former charter school principal was arrested and charged Monday after reportedly admitting to FBI investigators that he had sexually abused "several young boys over the past 35 years," according to a police affidavit filed in court.
That same day, Stephen Paul Niedzwiecki, a former Kaysville basketball coach and science teacher, was arrested and later charged after allegedly engaging in a sexually abusive relationship with a 14-year-old student.
If convicted, the men will have been found guilty of clearly defined criminal acts. But the cases raise questions about where inappropriate behavior in the classroom begins and what parents can do to keep their children safe.
The Utah Administrative Code contains ethical standards for educators. Acts of cruelty toward children, providing children with drugs and alcohol, and sexual and otherwise inappropriate relationships involving students are prohibited and illegal.
But those standards do not include specific instruction on scenarios a teacher may reasonably encounter. Should a male teacher be allowed to meet privately before or after class with a female student who is struggling with her assignments? Should an elementary teacher be allowed to receive a hug from her pupils?
In most cases, questions of professional conduct are dealt with at the district level before going before the state, if necessary. In that way, administrators attempt to draw a line between preventing harmful scenarios from developing and allowing teachers to have an active and personal role in a student's education.
But any policy inevitably leaves a gray area as educators strive to have a positive and engaged relationship with their students while simultaneously trying to avoid any semblance of impropriety.
"Our policy does not attempt to explicitly list instructions for every situation that may arise," said Jason Olsen, Salt Lake City School District spokesman. "We expect teachers to act as professionals when they interact with students and their families."
Recently, a Granite School District teacher was allowed to return to the classroom after allegations arose that he was receiving foot and back massages from students, as well as other complaints.
District spokesman Ben Horsely said criminal and administrative investigations were launched but ultimately found that no crimes had been committed. After appropriate disciplinary action, termination of employment was not required, he said.
The teacher's case is an example of the slippery slope of physical contact between teacher and student, which, according to Heidi Alder, is best avoided altogether.
Alder, an education specialist with the Utah State Office of Education and an investigator and prosecutor for the Utah Proffessional Practice Advisory Commission, said most physical contact that occurs in a classroom is innocuous, but an adult can never be too careful.
"Whether it's forceful touch or affectionate touch, it's best to keep your hands to yourself," she said.
In her 10 years as an educator, Alder said she's seen a noticeable change in the way students view and interact with the adults in their lives. Teachers and administrators are addressed by their students by their first names; they're added as friends on social media websites; and they make themselves available day and night with a text message or email.
There's a difference between being friendly and being friends, Alder said, and teachers need to draw a hard line in the sand.
"We've never reviewed a case in our office that didn't begin with some electronic correspondence," she said. "For that reason, we discourage teachers from taking their relationships outside of the classroom and into the cyber world."

Finally spring is springing, and I am starting to get back into it. It has been a while since I have updated shawlein.com, and I appologize for that, but I have been somewhat immobilized since New Year's. Ice on a stone walkway and a nasty tumble into a rockery and I have been forming a close relationship with my crutches for several months. Fortunately I have one dog who is a high speed, self propelled rocket with a large yard, and another dog who is happy sunbathing. However I am finally beginning to hobble about, and to start picking up where I left off after Christmas!
My internment was not entirely unproductive. I managed to complete a 78 page manuscript for a book I have been mulling over for some time: An Analysis of Canine Structure and Gait. That's 78 pages without any illustrations; they are next on my to do list. Despite the differences between so many breeds, they are fundamentally alike. And they are nothing like horses. So much of what has been claimed for dogs has come from opinions about horses, and they are wrong, or at least irrelevant. I have a bit more research to do and then I am going to spend a month storming the illustrations. It is going to be fun.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Has Russia saved the Assad regime from collapse?
26 Oct 2012 11:59 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, Australia, China
Chinese legislators have stripped politician Bo Xilai of his last official post, formally expelling him from the country's parliament and setting the stage for criminal proceedings against him.
State news agency Xinhua said the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC) removed Bo from his post late last month, but made the announcement only on Friday at a bi-monthly session.
"According to the law on the deputies to NPC and to local people's congresses, his post was terminated," Xinhua said, quoting a statement from the standing committee at the end of a four-day meeting.
Although the latest move was a formality, following Bo's expulsion from the Communist Party last month, it does mean that the former rising political star no longer enjoys immunity from prosecution.
That sets the stage for a criminal case involving accusations of corruption and other wrongdoing, including interfering in the investigation into the murder of a British businessman. Bo's wife and an aide were convicted for the murder last month.
Al Jazeera's Divya Gopalan, reporting from Hong Kong, said that the expulsion allows the Communist Party's leadership to "now distance themselves from this scandal".
"So what happens next is that this now goes through a judiciary process where there will be an inquiry or an indictment against him, but the chances are that this is just a formality and it will happen rather quickly, as the Communist Party is in charge of the whole judiciary system," she said.
Communist Party leaders are keen to resolve the country's messiest political scandal in decades as they prepare for next month's once-in-a-decade transition of power to the next generation of leaders tasked with shoring up public support in the face of widespread disgust over official graft and influence peddling.
As the most powerful official in the southwestern mega-city of Chongqing, Bo had been considered a candidate for a seat on the party's all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, and his toppling exposed sharp infighting in the party's uppermost ranks.
The National People's Congress Standing Committee said it approved a decision to remove Bo as a deputy, but offered no details.
Rapid downfall
Bo's downfall has been rapid: His wife, Gu Kailai, was convicted of murdering British businessman Neil Heywood, and Bo's former right-hand man was accused of taking bribes, abusing power and trying to defect to the United States, among other crimes.
Gu was handed a suspended death sentence, which is commonly commuted to a life sentence in China.
Even before that, Bo had angered many in Beijing with his populist style that defied the party's centralised system of policy and decision making.
Bo's initiatives included a sweeping crackdown on organised crime and a campaign to revive Mao-era songs and culture that reminded many of the excesses of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.
Bo's expulsion cements an impression of unity among the leadership in rejecting his neo-Maoist approach in favour of stability, said Feng Chongyi, a China politics expert at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia.
"It's very positive in that way, but not sufficient to conclude that the party will become any more liberal," Feng said.
Chinese authorities have not yet announced specific charges against Bo, but in expelling him on September 28, the party accused him of offenses reaching back two decades and range from taking bribes, abusing his power and having improper relationships with several women.
He has not been seen in public since mid-March and is believed to be under detention at a Beijing prison.
Beijing attorney Li Xiaolin said on Thursday that Bo's wife's family has hired him and Shen Zhigeng to defend Bo, but the two lawyers are not formally accredited by the authorities to represent him yet. The timing of a trial is unclear, although there would appear not to be enough time to conclude matters before the party congress that begins November 8.
Bo is the first Politburo member to be removed from office in five years and the scandal raised talk of a political struggle involving Bo supporters intent on derailing succession plans calling for Vice President Xi Jinping to lead the party for the next decade, as well as concerns over corruption among top-tier politicians.

SAN MARCOS, Texas, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- By Quantum Materials Corporation (OTCQB:QTMM) – Since 1950, Kasha's Rule 1, a principle of photochemistry, held true that if a source of light excited a molecule enough, the molecule would fluoresce in a single color. In 2011, the Alivasatos group at DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, using tetrapod quantum dots, broke Kasha's rule2 by causing them to emit two separate colors instead of just one. This dual emission is possible because the tetrapod's core and arms can separately emit at different wavelengths, and this discovery finds potential in many new advances in optics and nanobio applications.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121120/DA16554LOGO)
Quantum Materials Corp. (QMC) is delivering tetrapod quantum dots to a client studying dual emission effects in sensitive force sensing environments. Dual-emitting tetrapod QD sensors can measure very minute stresses such as those of a heartbeat by reading the changing variance of luminescence response emitted as the tetrapod quantum dots arms bend. Nano-probes of this type are poised to be a platform technology providing optical readout for many other biomechanical processes. This unique ability of the tetrapod quantum dot helps it to outshine the more common spherically shaped quantum dot.
QMC's patented synthesis allows precise control of tetrapod quantum dot composition, size of QD core, length of arms, and arm thickness. This ability to design the tetrapod characteristics allows optimization to control the tetrapod's reaction to stress and thereby tune the light emissions for different applications. QMC VP of R&D David Doderer remarked, "We are proud to stand out as the singul

Appeals court declines to issue stay that would halt gay marriages in Utah
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that gay marriages can continue in Utah, denying a request from the state to halt same-sex weddings until the appeals process plays out.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the state's request for an emergency stay on a federal judge's ruling that struck down Utah's voter-approved constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. U.S. District Judge Richard Shelby ruled that it violates the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The appeals court said in its short ruling that a decision to put gay marriage on hold was not warranted, but said it put the case on the fast track for a full appeal of the ruling.
Shelby refused the state's first request to put a halt to the marriages Monday.
Utah's last chance to temporarily stop the marriages would now be the U.S. Supreme Court. That's what the Utah Attorney General's Office is prepared to do, said spokesman Ryan Bruckman. "We're disappointed in the ruling, but we just have to take it to the next level," he said.
Gov. Gary Herbert's office declined comment on the decision.
The appeals court ruling means county clerks can continue to issue marriage licenses to gays and lesbians. About 700 gay couples have obtained marriage licenses since Friday, with most coming in Salt Lake County.
"Until the final word has been spoken by this Court or the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of Utah's marriage laws, Utah should not be required to enforce Judge Shelby's view of a new and fundamentally different definition of marriage," the state said in a motion to the appeals court.
Shelby's decision to strike down a law passed by voters in 2004 drew attention given Utah's long-standing opposition to gay marriage.
In court Monday, assistant attorney general Phil Lott repeated the words "chaotic situation" to describe what has happened in Utah since clerks started allowing gay weddings. He urged the judge to "take a more orderly approach than the current frenzy."
"Utah should be allowed to follow its democratically chosen definition of marriage," he said of the 2004 gay marriage ban.
That confusion stretched to county clerks in Utah, some of whom were refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, even though they could face legal consequences.
The Utah Attorney General's Office warned counties they could be held in contempt of federal court if they refuse to issue the licenses.
Bruckman said the office was not giving legal guidance to clerks' offices.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said prosecution of county clerks is unlikely. The holdouts wouldn't face sanctions unless the plaintiffs who sued Utah asked the judge for a contempt finding, said Melodie Rydalch, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney David Barlow.
In the meantime, state agencies have begun trying to sort out how the gay marriages may impact state services.
Herbert's office sent a letter to state agencies Tuesday afternoon advising them to comply with the judge's ruling or consult the attorney general's office if the ruling conflicts with other laws or rules.
The Utah Department of Workforce Services, which administers programs such as food stamps and welfare, is recognizing the marriages of gay couples when they apply for benefits, spokesman Nic Dunn told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
It's unclear whether Utah will allow married same-sex couples to jointly file their state income tax returns next year, as they will be able to do for federal returns.
Charlie Roberts, a spokesman for the Utah State Tax Commission, said the agency still needs to consult the Utah Attorney General's Office about the issue.
In October, the commission stipulated that because Utah did not recognize same-sex marriages, same-sex couples who had married out of state could not file jointly in Utah.
The state income tax forms do not currently require filers to specify gender, so it's possible same-sex couples could have already filed jointly in previous years, but Roberts said the commission has never been aware of such as case.
Utah is the 18th state where gay couples can wed or will soon be able to marry. The legal wrangling over the topic will likely continue for months. The 10th Circuit will likely hear a full appeal of the case several months from now.

Tony Dungy thinks Irsay was trying to provoke Manning; Favre weighs in
If you've lost track of where we are in the Peyton Manning-returns-to-Indianapolis drama, let me rehash it for you: earlier this week, Colts owner Jim Irsay defended his decision to dump Manning and basically said he was disappointed he only won one Super Bowl with Manning. Irsay felt the team should've won more.
That was followed by former Colts coach Tony Dungy saying that Irsay probably regrets getting rid of Manning. Dungy's Tuesday comments were followed later on Tuesday by Broncos coach John Fox saying that Irsay sounded 'ungrateful and unappreciative' of his time with Manning.
Hold on, not done yet, there's more.
Fox's comments about Irsay being 'ungrateful' led to Irsay backtracking and clarifying his Manning remarks on Wednesday.
In the midst of all this, former Colts general manager Bill Polian admitted to being baffled by Irsay's comments.
After hearing all of the comments by everyone, Dungy thought he should weigh in -- again. In a text to ESPN.com, Dungy says he believes Irsay was deliberately trying to provoke Manning, "I think that's what he's trying to do," Dungy said in the text. "Have him make it such a big game he doesn't perform well. I can't figure any other reason to go this way."
Dungy was the Colts coach for seven years, so he probably knows Irsay as well as anyone and he seems stunned by Irsay's comments, "Jim is making this personal," Dungy said. "I'm surprised."
Manning was asked to comment on his relationship with Irsay on Wednesday and offered a terse five-word response, "I can't and I won't."
Just when you thought there was no one else to weigh-in on the Manning situation, along comes Brett Favre. The former Packers quarterback has some experience returning to a city where he spent most of his career. Favre returned to Lambeau as a member of the Vikings in 2009 and 2010.
"Not that [Peyton] needs any advice, but for me, I had never been more nervous and anxious before a game as I was then," Favre said. "So being able to think clearly, as my emotions were running high, was a monumental feat. But he will do fine."
If you're scoring at home: Favre, Polian, Fox, Dungy and Irsay have all now weighed in on the situation, with Dungy and Irsay weighing in twice. And it's only Wednesday.

24692Lily Stories, (was 'Celebrating Guru's Sister Lily's Birthday Anniversary')
Expand Messages
- Oct 27 9:55 PMThank you,Doris, for sharing your inspiration and a few of Guru's stories about visiting his sister Lily.
I just submitted a post about our function here in New York celebrating Lily-di's birthday on Oct.27. Then I read your post and I was inspired to include a few of my own reminiscences of 1978 when she came here to New York to visit us and to be with Guru for half a year. Some of these I extracted from a post I wrote last year after we celebrated Lily-di's birthday here as well.
Coming from the very warm climate of Southern India, as she lived most of her life in the Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, Lily seemed to have a hard time adjusting to the extremely opposite weather of an icy cold New York winter. I remember her especially in the first month wearing lots of warm coats, hats, gloves, etc. even inside at functions sometimes. But she was always so compassionate and motherly to everyone and loved to be involved in our events.
Celebrating her birthday last night at Aspiration-Ground brought back some of those wonderful moments I personally can remember after 32 years since she was here. Although I did not spend much time with her as some of the Annam Brahma girls and others did, just to get Prasad from her at our Centre meetings or have her present at a function was always very inspiring. It always made Guru happy as well whenever Lily was present at many of the events.
One very amusing event we once had at the original Progress-Promise meditation hall was a Sari contest put on by the boys. Lily was the judge as the boys had to come out wearing a sari to the amusement of everyone. We were judged on how nice the sari was and how it was put on. Some guys even put on wigs to make it look authentic and add more levity to the situation. Lily had to see each one and at times would modestly cover her mouth as she laughed and laughed at some of the amusing `models' and how they wore their saris.
It was fun going up in front of our special guest `judge', but needless to say I did not do well in the scoring. Perhaps I did not spend enough money on my sari or practice wearing it enough. But it was all in the name of fun and Lily-di seemed to enjoy it the most.
We even took Lily to amusement parks in the summer, the beach, a horse racetrack and other places where she could experience a variety of American culture. I cannot remember all the things she did or places that she went but I do remember that she spent quite some time at Annam Brahma cooking with the girls there. I am sure we had her food many times and that it was quite delicious, authentic and fulfilling. I believe that the girls are still using some of her recipes as she was a very good cook and used to cook for Guru every day.
This is one of my favorite songs that the Bhajan Singers sang last night for Lily-di.
In the words of one of Guru's songs about Lily, called: `Jhili Mili Jhili Mili Lily Lily', Guru writes:
"Twinkling, twinkling, Lily, Lily,
You are the Hope-Heart of the World-Mother,
You are the Message-Eye of the World-Father.
You are the waves of
Delight and Peace fathomless of the World-Pilot-Supreme."

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of the Navy's strategic homeporting program and the legal status of limitations on the disposal of land if the new homeports were terminated.
GAO found that: (1) the Navy had not taken any action to stop ongoing construction on projects at new homeports requested by the Secretary of Defense; (2) written agreements pertaining to homeporting involve land obtained from state or local instrumentalities; and (3) if construction of a homeport does not begin within a specified time or the Navy ceases to use the homeport, the land reverts to the prior owner.

Gracie5, I agree with you on this and have been keeping an eye on this place for a while. This is going to be discussed in Parliament in the near future and if bill is passed then this practice of selling pets will cease in pet shops. As for the assistant, I think I know who you mean. Most assistants seem to me young so I can easily see who you are talking about. Yes, very rude, and snappy, especially when asked where they get the puppies from! I agree it is frightening that his lady looks after the puppies.

I popped in to this store today to check the state of the puppies and kittens. This pet shop needs to stop this practice of selling animals, they are not looked after properly. However I was met by the most nasty, rude and unpleasant person who was rude to me and had no manners or intelligence. This elderly woman, staff member, is obviously responsible for looking after these poor animals and this frightened me. I am on a mission to ensure that selling puppies and kittens from this shop should stop and I have reported this to animal welfare enclosing the many pictures that I have taken over the weeks. I can only hope that this obnoxious person does not sell or look after animals in her own environment

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 37 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joanna50 Great product Hill's Science Diet is given to the military dogs, and that's good enough for my dog. Besides, it's the only dry dog food that she's been eating for years. It's also recommended by our vet. December 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rainey good product for weight loss My little maltese had gained half a pound which is a lot for a 6 pound dog. Cutting down on his regular diet didn't help so we switched to the lite small bites by Science Diet. My dog loves it and is very slowly-as planned- shedding that extra half pound. October 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martha57 Love the fewer calories My dogs love this product and better for them. It's smaller for them to eat as they have a few missing teeth!! May 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sue75 This product is healthy and my dog loves it! I recommend this product To any Boston Terriers!!! April 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LARich71 My dog loves it! My dog, Henry, needed to lose 7-10 pounds per instructions from the vet. Henry has been on this food for two weeks, and it is working for him. He never once refused it, and I switched him straight off the old food we were using. Definitely staying with this. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marti "The Girls" Sophie and Sadie seem to really love it! Our dogs were getting a little heavy from the long winter so our vet recommended Hill's Science Diet Light and our girls seem really happy with it! They love getting the package of dog food in the mail every two weeks! They freak out and run circles around the box! Love your service! March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bonn1 Fuzzy Fuzzy is her name. She came to live with me and my husband after my mother passed away last year. Fuzzy came from a shelter and I didn't want her to go back there so we took her and gave her a forever home. She was pretty fat and she needed to lose weight fast. I have tried alot of different dog foods and this one Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Small Bites really works for her. She loves the food and she is losing weight. She is a very good dog. My mom gave her treats all day long and of cause she gained alot of weight. She is on the road to a slimmer and more fix dog. Thanks for Science Diet. And I love the shipping right to my home. Thanks again Bonny March 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Barb87 It Actually Delivers! I started my little girl on this formula for the first time a couple months ago. She had put on some weight (training classes = lots of treats!) and has luxating patellas. The transition was smooth, her coat looks fabulous, and best of all; she #2's consistently and its always a healthy consistency (sorry but this is a big deal for her!). The only con is that I have to mix a tsp of wet food to get her to eat it. I've never used a Hills product for my pets before, but I must say that with their research, quality control and performance, I am impressed! January 7, 2015

Subjectivity in Troubadour Poetry
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe songs of the troubadour poets of the south of France were a pervasive influence in the development of the European lyric (and indeed other genres) from the twelfth century to the Renaissance and beyond. Much troubadour poetry is on the topic of love, and is composed from a first-person position. This book is a full-length study of this first-person subject position in its relation to language and society. Using theoretical approaches where appropriate, Sarah Kay discusses to what extent this first person is a 'self' or 'character', and how far it is self-determining. Dr Kay draws on a wide range of troubadour texts, and provides close readings of many of them, as well as translating all medieval quotations into English in order to make the discussion accessible to the non-specialist.
