Emvies 2005 is all set to make more sizzle than ever before. Said Apurva Purohit, Chairperson, Emvies, "As with all Ad Club awards, Emvies looks at a particular aspect of the communication industry, in this case media, and rewards the best talent in that sphere. It is unique in the sense that awardees are judged by their peers and industry leaders. Thus, it is truly an award for and by the media industry. Like previous years, this time also I am expecting large participation from the media industry. We at the Ad Club are grateful to the media fraternity not only for participating in the awards but also giving their time to judge the scores of entries that pour in."
How have the Emvies evolved over the years? Purohit said, "I think that year on year the awards are only growing in stature. Last year not only did we get an unprecedented number of entries but we also got a very good response to the new categories we opened up like Never Before Used Media, Best Media Marketer, etc."
One can recall the dramatic finale to the fourth edition of Emvies, organised by the Advertising Club Mumbai, when Lodestar Media (agency of the year) piped rivals Madison and Group M to the winning post. Lodestar had lots of reasons to uncork the bubbly as it had only six short-listed entries in comparison to Group M's eight. Emvies in the previous year attracted significantly more entries than the times prior to that. The number jumped from 128 in 2003 to 322 in 2004. The number of categories was also increased to 14 last year, as compared to 10 in the year before. An exciting introduction in terms of a new category was the Best Media Innovation - Never Before Used Media.
Purohit added, " I believe strongly the quality has improved and it is not only a manifestation of the Emvies growing stature, but also of the respect the media part of the business and media professionals are commanding in the communications industry today."
Shashi Sinha, President, Lodestar, believes that the previous year was a fantastic one for the agency, and this time around, the prospects look extremely bright. He stated, "They have just released the entry forms, and we are just debating on what we must present for the occasion. We have done plenty of good work and we have all the chances of putting up a grand showing at the awards ceremony. Also they have put in new categories, such as Never Before Used Media, which has increased the scale and the scope by a good deal. The Emvies stands for recognition and distinction in the sphere of media."
Sinha asserted, "Actually, Abbys and Emvies are like apples and oranges and must never be put in the same casket. Abbys recognises creative excellence and has been around for long. Meanwhile, media has just emerged as an independent arena, and for that reason, Emvies has still a long way to go. While Abbys is rock solid and settled, Emvies will be consistently pushing the envelope and re-inventing itself in the coming years. All in all, I am more than happy that a forum like Emvies is around, for the media minds and it gives me and my agency people greater push to deliver great output."
So the forms are going out and the D-Day looms in the horizon. Stay tuned for what lies ahead.

Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SHLD) reported earnings today which overall disappointed investors, and sent shares down 12 percent in after hours trading. Eddie Lampert rarely speaks, but now that he is CEO of Sears he is forced to a bit. Lampert on the conference call called the results poor and unacceptable but cited Tax Refunds, Cold weather, etc.' as factors impacting the results. Joining other fellow hedge fund managers, Lampert threw in a line blaming Bernanke's low interest rates for poor returns by the company's pension. Below we have some comments from the famous investor on Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SHLD) results for the quarter.
Eddie Lampert on Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SHLD) Conference call
I would now like to turn the call over to our chairman and CEO Eddie Lampert.
Eddie Lampert opening remarks
Our first-quarter 2013 financial performance is not acceptable.
A company of our size and with our assets should be generating a significant process profit.
As an investor, I follow our industry very closely and have benchmarked our performance against our competitors. During the first quarter of 2013, many of our competitors have noticed a certain macro factors that impacted our industry, their businesses and our business. Colder weather parts of the country, delayed tax refunds etc.
Having said that, I do not subscribe to the view that the macro factors are the sole reason for our poor performance. They have an impact . But even with that impact, we should be doing a lot better than we are. Changing customer buying habits and changing forms of competition are challenging us in the retail industry generally and we must evolve our company and our business models to meet this challenge.
Eddie Lampert later in the call
As I said, our performance is not acceptable and has both to do about it. Everclear vision and strategy and in order to execute on a we have to generate acceptable profit.
As we explained at our annual shareholder meeting, we have made significant strides in articulating our plans and future business models encapsulated by our focus on integrated retail and our ShopYourWay rewards membership program. We have made significant investments in digital capabilities that have both a very large group of engaged members on the ShopYourWay platform.
Lampert on his first 100 days
In my first 100 days as CEO, I've spent a lot of time meeting with members of our executive leadership team , asking questions and listening to their opinions, ideas and concerns. I found many engaged, determined and excited leaders.
For those who may be inclined to accept current performance levels or incremental progress, I have made clear that I have much higher expectations. And meetings with our leaders that have continued to lay out my expectations in my vision so as to generate alignment around a strategy.
It will take a bit of time, but I'm committed to having a leadership team which is aligned, accountable and understands what we need to do to transform this company. And we intend to transform a while producing results. Not using transformation as an excuse for why results are not satisfactory. We aren't sitting still.
Lampert on debt and pension obligations
Faster we took several actions to stabilize the company and to generate significant liquidity to meet maturing debt obligations and to provide our vendors with additional comfort with regard to ordinary obligations. Actions we took also help to address legacy pension obligations made worse by the actions of the Federal Reserve to artificially will down long-term interest rates.
As Rob indicated, we are currently evaluating a range of actions. One of which revolves around our protection agreement business, which if successful, could generate in excess of $500 million of targeted additional liquidity. Actions such as these are among alternatives we have to create liquidity and drive long-term shareholder value.
There are other possibilities that we are considering . And depending on valuation and and alternative investment opportunities, we may choose to execute on one or more of these in the near future.
Lampert on improving member experience
We're doing a better job of articulating the ShopYourWay value number proposition. For example when offered targeted personalized her words through in-store and online offers.

The days came and went, the sun and moon rising and falling in their usual pattern in the walled country of Ba Sing Se. Through those days, Katara became far more secluded ever since her "little incident" back at Anju's house. She didn't bother going to the party because of her sudden discovery, worried that the same action will occur with more witnesses. Lucky for her, Anju and Bipin didn't tell anyone else about it, which'll probably get them in trouble with the Dai Li anyway. But as time went by, Katara's reaction to her water-bending turned from fear, to confusion, to fascination. She'd heard of water bending from her school various times before, usually in history, but she never would have guessed she would be one of them, at least in a way. Through the next couple of days, she decided to see what she could do with her special bending ability; isolating herself and practicing. Course, she didn't tell her mom about that, so the practice was only known by her, and her alone...at first, anyway.
One quiet, cool, Wednesday afternoon, Katara felt like practicing her unique ability again after school. As soon as school ended, homework in hand, Katara quickly started off to her special location, probably her only location where she could do her practice at all. Her walk to the spot was much shorter than her walk to her actual house, about 30 minutes, give or take. The area Katara went to was pretty secluded, the buildings unoccupied and abandoned. The main walkway was rather large, big enough for a wagon to go through with ease, and a waterway, going through the side of the way, was the perfect source of water to practice with. Katara looked around, to make sure she indeed was alone, last thing she wanted was a snitch to see her water bending...no one in sight.
"Okay. Let's see if I can do this," Katara thought aloud, looking down to slow moving water in front of her. The brunette focused, and aimed her hands forward to the river. It took some practice, and focus, but eventually a small orb of water slowly lifted upon command, an orb of liquid about as big as her own head, perfectly spherical, as if frozen. Katara slowly walked backwards, eyes and hands fixated on the floating orb in front of her.
"Yes, Yes! Okay, what if I..." Katara focused on the orb again, one of her hands moving to the left of her. The orb responded, and stretched to compensate Katara's command and movement. Katara continued moving her hands, guiding a calm flow of water in various directions in the air in front of her. As she was, the water turned from a water orb, to a water ring, perfectly circular around Katara's torso, like the rings on Saturn. the happy bender felt very proud of herself, despite it being dangerous just to do this at all. Her accomplishment, not to mention the beauty of her bending, was really distracting her from the world around her. After some more tricks with her water ring, she sent the water back in the river nice and easy, and calm down in a content sigh...only now did she suddenly hear someone behind her, applauding her!
"Good job, Katara! That was awesome!"
Katara spun around fast, almost loosing her footing, and noticed the familiar girl, Jin, standing by one of the house doorways. Katara didn't have any clue how long she was there for, or why she was there in the first place, but she knew she couldn't hide her water bending ability after giving Jin an involuntary front row seat to her practice.
"Uh, I uh - I mean uh -" Katara was trying to find some sort of understandable words, but Jin simply chuckled and walked over to her, that same smile she had back at the restaurant a week or so back.
"Calm down, it's alright," Jin assured her. That only slightly calmed the brunette down.
"Um... How long were you -"
"The whole time, and I gotta say, you're a pretty good bender! Question: how'd you get in here without being wanted?" Jin gave a good laugh at that, but Katara only barely joined her. Being wanted ain't no laughing matter, and the fact Katara knew Jin is wanted by now only made things more uncomfortable.
"I...I didn't arrive here..."
"You mean you were born here?" Katara nodded, slightly confused by Jin's question.
"Yes, I am. I thought you'd knew, from...well, y'know," Katara reminded, the thought of their first encounter in both of their minds.
"Oh that! Well, I'd thought you and your mother were just hiding out in disguise or something, since I saw you bending anyway. But, guess no one can really be correct, can they?"
"Since you saw me? You saw me do this before?"
"Sure, though the last 3 days, actually. I didn't bother you cuz I didn't want you to stop your practice." Katara didn't have anything to really say, Katara only hoped she didn't rat her out during those 3 days. But than again, she was wanted by the Dai Li, and showing up to tell them about it will throw herself in jail, if anything.
"Promise not to tell anyone, Jin, okay?" Katara asked, very hopeful she'll agree. Lucky for her, Jin nodded happily.
"Don't worry. I maybe wanted, but I'm not a snitch," Jin said with a wink.
"Yeah about that, Jin, aren't you worried about being wanted by the Dai Li? Seriously, those guys are very dangerous."
"I'll be fine, really. As long as the Dai Li don't leave Ba Sing Se, they're not exactly the most dangerous." Katara put that thought in mind, and she did have some sort of point. The Dai Li only serve the Earth King in Ba Sing Se, and don't go beyond the country's final wall.
"I guess, but Ba Sing Se is still a big place, and the Dai Li got a lot of authority here," Katara pointed out.
"That's true, but I won't stick around here for very long anyway."
"What do you mean? You're leaving?" Katara asked, a bit surprised at the idea. As far as she knew, Ba Sing Se (despite treatment of classes) is the safest place to be. The nations of the outside world are far too dangerous, at least that's what she heard in school gossip, and yet Jin's planning to go out there?
"That's right, got big plans with my friends, and will start going on our way by tomorrow night, so you don't have to worry about me," Jin assured her, a friendly punch to the shoulder. Katara didn't have anything else to say to her, by that point. Katara walked past her, and picked up her Book she left nearby. As she was, Jin did get a question in her head, but wasn't too sure on asking. After some thinking, she might as well give it a try.
"Hey Katara?" Jin asked.
"What?" Katara asked, picking up her book.
"You wanna come with us?" Katara nearly dropped her book on shock at such a question. The question stayed in the air for a bit, as a pause stayed around for 5 seconds until Katara spoke again.
"Jin, I can't leave here! It's the safest place to be, plus I gotta ton of planning, a lot of work, and then there's my mother I have to take care of, and -"
"Okay, okay, calm down! Just thought I ask, Katara," Jin said, not wanting Katara to go overboard with the answer she had. Clearly, her priorities kept her here, and she didn't need to lose it.
"Well, thanks, but I have to stay here..." Katara concluded.
"Well, if you change your mind Katara, you got until tomorrow night. See ya later!" With that, Jin raced off out of sight down the road where Katara came in. Katara took her words to mind, as she decided to cut her practice short, and head home...
The day went on into night, as Katara helped out her mother with house keeping, and finished her homework in record time. Her mother had the day off from her work, so she had more time to bond with Katara, which was always good for both of them. They both helped out each other in the house, and generally spent the day together. One thing she did do hat night, which recent she didn't had time to do, was update her diary. She had one since she was little, yet didn't use it all that much, yet she wanted to update it now. She took it out from her dresser, and with a candle light, began writing out her events.
Dear Diary...
This past week has been rather special for me. I'm not sure what it is, but, I'm sure I'll figure things out. remember our money trouble? I guess Raava gave us a helping hand, and gave us A TON of gold! Goodbye, debt! Now that's done, now for the odd news. Turns out my friend is nothing more than a thief, wanted by that stupid Dai Li. Seriously, she's far too friendly to try for chump change. Also, that bully Kong got his just desserts and was froze to a wall. I dunno about you, but I personally found it funny. Finally, the universe gave me a free B. And guess what?...I CAN WATERBEND! I know, it's completely crazy, but I guess miracles can come up from anywhere. It was scary at first, but, I've grown to love this new ability of mine. I feel...what's the word... Special, unique even! I even got to make a water ring, I'm getting so good! Well, I'll be back with you soon, gotta think things through.
Katara finished up her diary entry, and placed the book next to her. She was glad there was at least one way to put out her thoughts and memories without criticism from others. Katara kept her hand on the book for a few extra seconds before letting it go beside her. She blew out her candle, the light immediately disappearing upon so, and she went for another night of sleep... If only it were that simple...
A few hours pass, and the moon, waxing gibbons phase, was high up in the sky, signifying midnight. The streets around Katara's home were simply quiet...too quiet, for Ba Sing Se standards. Oddly, Katara found herself having trouble sleeping, which was actually normal for her. When the moon was at its brightest, Katara would have a lot of trouble staying asleep, and that night was no different for her. Tossing and turning in her bed, to the point of sweating in her sleep, as if having some sort of wicked nightmare! Eventually, Katara gave up on trying to sleep, sitting up. The Katara before would never made sense of why she had so much trouble sleeping, but the Katara now had at least one reasonable conclusion to it: being a waterbender. Water benders gain more power by the moon, and Katara did feel more energetic during these bright nights. Her hand, almost instinctively, whipped off some sweat from her forehead, seeing it shine off the moonlight by her bed, in her hand. Her mind began to think over everything that she had just wrote in that diary, the sudden new events that occurred, waterbending included...what should she do? If she'd stayed, she'll have more trouble with the Dai Li. If she'd left, her mother will be all alone...but then again, if she was discovered to have waterbending by any Dai Li, her mother will most likely get into even more trouble than just being isolated. She could be put upon charges for smuggling a waterbender into the Earth Kingdom, or simply hiding the truth from them at all. And as for punishment...Katara didn't even want to think about what they'd do to her...
"...Maybe I should go..."
That thought alone seemed to start a cue, as Katara suddenly heard someone...or something, from outside her room. The sound of some sort of animal, what it exactly was, she couldn't tell in the slightest, and the sound of moving jars, as if whatever had intruded was searching for something. The waterbender, with both curiosity and worry, slowly got to her feet. As she slowly and quietly began to walk down the halls to the main room, she became worried over what she would find. One foot over the other, in such slow motion down to a crawl, as the noise continued to ring out from around the house. The noise from the animal sounded like a bird, but the audible crack in the voice made that close to an impossibility. Despite her slow and steady pace, she found herself standing right at the door into their kitchen. Katara slowly peered around the corner, making sure she was just able to see. At first, Katara couldn't see anything out of the ordinary inside the room, everything in place as they were, the table and chairs in the same spot, the counters in place, and overall, everything was normal...but that was until she looked to the far corner of the room. Sitting on the counter top, by a few of their jars, something was enjoying itself on their treats, fruits, and various food items. She never saw such a creature before in her life: Large, bat-like ears; small, thin body; loose skin on its forearms; a human-like face; and a long tail. The fur appeared ghostly, pure white except for a few areas of dark brown like the face or tail tip. Katara stayed where she was, observing the animal as it ate some of their berries, not acknowledging Katara's presence. The little lemur bounded and hopped around the room, about as curious as Katara was...then it stopped, staring directly at Katara's blue eyes. Katara can note its large, doll-like green eyes staring right into her own, as if trying to see through her. It seemed to be a waiting game between the brunette and the white lemur, but as soon as Katara took a step out from the corner, the lemur yelped, and darted up, wings opened up in flight!...the lemur can fly...
Katara gave a scream as the lemur darted pass her head, knocking her back onto the floor, as the lemur flew at fast pace, wings beating in quick flaps like a sparrow. Katara jumped back up to her feet, only to find the lemur gone from slight, but not from sound. For some untold reason, Katara began chase, as the rush suddenly got her outside, the lemur flapping around like a bat escaping a hawk. Katara stood at the front steps of her home, eyeing the creature as it flew off, darting down behind the house across from her line of slight.
"That...what was that?" Katara thought. Katara took a backwards glance towards the front door of her house, before she began to fallow back to where the Lemur landed. She didn't care for being quiet now, nor didn't knew why she was fallowing such a creature in the night, but her curiosity was getting the better of her. She got pass the house, cutting the corner, eventually finding the lemur... But there was someone else, as well. Katara found the bat lemur on the shoulder of a hooded figure, slightly shorter than her in height. But before she could say much, the figure suddenly ran off!
"Wait!" Katara yelled, running after him. The two ended up in deep chase through the Ba Sing Se streets, the latter trying his best to get away from the runner behind him. Katara had even more trouble just keeping up with him, as her eyes locked onto her thief and lemur. That kept up for a while, but then, the thief suddenly shocked Katara when he made a HUGE, almost unnatural leap from the ground to a nearby rooftop! Katara tried to keep him in her sights, but the thief proved far to evadable, as the thief finally was lost from her line of sight. Katara stopped for a brief moment, panting all the while, unable to believe that she lost the thief. However, it was only by then that she realized what she'd done. Here she was, standing in the middle of Ba Sing Se roads, in the middle of the night, chasing a thief that only took a bit of their food.
"What am I doing? I've got no reason for chasing this guy, I should get back home," Katara reminded herself, about to turn around, but then her ears caught something quiet yet clear in the midnight breeze. It seemed she and the thief weren't the only ones left out here, a conversation going on nearby. Katara turned back ahead on her set path, and, actually, found herself back in her training spot, where she was that afternoon. Why was she back here? She looked around, but began to notice a slight, faint light from the main area.
"Huh? Who's there?" Katara wondered, beginning to walk over. She peered around the corner, much quieter this time, seeing a light from one of the windows. One half of her mind was screaming for her to get home before the Dai Li catch her, but her other half was telling her to investigate the situation. Unsure of what else to exactly do at that point, Katara, slowly but surely, began to sneak up on the window, being sure not to make any noise. She could barely make out some conversation from inside the room, apparently in some deep conversation on something. But she did here someone say "Hang on guys."...which apparently cause a chain reaction.
Katara took a step back, but the ground underneath her suddenly shifted, causing her to loose some balance. Barely time to react, she tried to keep from falling, but a pillar suddenly jutted out of nowhere, knocking her right in the chin! The hit knocked her to the floor, eyes spinning from the headshot, as the door in front of her suddenly opened up in front of her.
"What're you doing here?" A voice asked. Katara jumped to her feet, freaked out over what the heck just happened (and being caught, of course). The one who caught her looked shorter than the thief she was chasing, wearing earth attire, black hair covering her eyes, arms crossed in an annoyed stance and expression.
"Nothing, nothing really, I just walked by and accidentally stumbled on -"
"You're lying," the girl said, nonchalantly, as Katara froze up from the reply. How'd she find out was impossible to tell for the waterbender, as the commotion got more attention from others inside. A tall boy then came out, black hair, and a deep scar on his own face...
"What's going on out- what? Who are you?" He said, as he got outside to face Katara.
"Uh, I'm K-Katara," Katara muttered out, in sight of the other individual, as he confronted her.
"What are you doing here? A spy for the Dai Li?" He accused, anger in his voice. Katara tried to calm down, but the threatening posture the boy let off didn't make that easy.
"What? No, course not! Why would I be with the Dai Li?!" Katara gasped, insulted by such an idea thrown at her. The boy though didn't let up until a third person walked out, this one Katara actually recognizing. She came out with a smile, causing the boy to back away as Katara tried to calm down.
"Hi, Katara, we meet again!"
"Jin? What - who - are they -" Katara couldn't find words, but luckily for her, Jin already had the answer for her.
"I can see you've met some of my friends," Jin smiled her usual smile, leaving a confused Katara stood in front of their doorstep. The boy turned around, slightly surprised himself.
"You met her already?"
"Twice actually. She's real sweet, and she can water -" Katara quickly shut her mouth before she could finish. Yes, she was happy for her waterbending, but, it wasn't something she wanted spread like crazy, especially to someone like this.
"Would you be quiet?" Katara demanded, really not wanting the secret out. Katara though was grabbed and pulled back by the guy out next to her. The push was rough, yet wasn't enough to knock her back on the ground, remaining on her feet. Jin didn't expect that, and looked at Katara quite surprised, as if unaware of the trouble involved.
"Hands off her, hear me?!" The boy demanded, very firm in his voice, as Katara nodded quickly.
"Zuko, please, she's friendly," Jin insisted.
"What happened to not snitching?" Katara reminded, call back to the events earlier that day.
"That's to the Dai Li, not my friends. Besides, I thought you liked your waterbending." it was out, Katara sighed, waiting for a reaction, or someone to start running off to rat her out...but nothing happened. Zuko then stepped back, trying not to act as threatening as earlier.
"So you're a waterbender," Zuko stated, as Katara looked up to him. Instead of saying anything though, Katara instead saw a jar with rainwater in it, and used her bending, lifting up the water orb to demonstrate. It felt kinda odd doing that in front of strangers, but, guess it no longer mattered. But to be safe, Katara added "don't rat me out."
"We won't, Katara. Say, why don't you come in?" Jin asked. Zuko felt a little unsure about this, but, he didn't really say anything as Katara looked away.
"You sure?"
"Totally! This way," Jin beamed, bringing Katara inside, much to her surprise.
Katara began looking around at the home Jin pulled her into. The place wasn't very fancy, but wasn't exactly a dump either, more in between. It had a sorta welcome charm to it, basics in furniture inside, and the floor and walls a soft brown, due to the wood. In the room were a few other faces, each one unrecognizable. One looked oddly like herself, only he was a boy, and a bit taller. His hair shorter and in a small wolf tail, much like Kong's lackee from earlier a couple of days back. His eyes were also blue as well, very close to her own. It was as if someone drew her out as a guy, and he came to life in front of her. The second person was resting on the seat, legs crossed. He looked FAR different from many people she knew of, shorter than her, completely bald, and had an innocence to rival a small child. The thing that stuck out most though, was that he had a large, pale, light blue arrow pointing down to his face, going across his head, and down the back. His grey, wide eyes was the second thing that caught her attention, as they locked with her own. The rest of the group came in from outside settled down by the others as Jin walked to her side. Katara felt like a complete stranger among the group, but that kind of feeling was replaced with annoyed realization, as a very particular lemur was sitting on the table, enjoying what berries were left from its nighttime flight.
"Wait a minute..." Before Katara confirmed the comparison, the lemur saw her, and went into hiding, fluttering over to the other teenagers nearby, as Katara got an angered look on her face. Jin however, was the first to ask "what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? That lemur stole from my house!" Katara accused, a finger aimed directly at the animal. The lemur bent its ears back in shame, as one of the kids laid down on the same seat. The bald kid gave the lemur an accustom look, furthering the punishment, as he turned to her.
"I'm sorry, sometimes Momo can't really help it."
"His names Momo?" Katara asked. That seemed to bring Jin back up to her feet, as if remembering something.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce you to everyone!" Jin realized. Jin walked over to the brunette and started her intro.
"Katara, may I introduce you to Aang, Toph, Zuko, and Sokka," Jin said, pointing her attention to each person mentioned in that introduction of hers. Katara looked each one over, each one (except for Toph) looking over to Katara, as if judging her. That was the last thing she needed; judgement by strangers. One of them, Sokka, got up soon after that, and walked over to her.
"It's nice to meet you, Katara, really it is," Sokka said, as Katara shook hands with him. It took Katara a bit before replying back, still a bit surprised by the similarities between them both.
"Likewise...so, you're Jin's friends?" Katara asked, as Jin sat down next to Zuko, him smiling.
"That's right. I assume you two met already? Usually, Jin doesn't bring just anyone in."
"Yes, Sokka is it? She met me a few nights back, and practically saved me from being homeless. Though, I didn't knew she was wanted at the time," Katara admitted, bashfully. Sokka smiled, and crossed his arms.
"Let me guess, gave you a ton of money, right?"
"How'd you know?"
"Jin usually is charitable in that sense. Come here, sit down," Sokka offered, having a seat himself. Katara, feeling more welcomed, had a seat herself next to him. She saw Toph across from her, stretched out in her seat in boredom.
"So, you can waterbend, Katara. How'd you hide that in a place like this for so long?" Toph asked, picking her nose with her pinkie, cleaning it out a bit.
"Actually, I just discovered it 3 days ago."
"Sounds silly, how'd you accidentally discover a bending style your born with?"
"First of all, you're not born with bending. Second, it was by accident while I was helping my friends out," Katara explained. Toph simply yawned, flicking a booger off her finger as Katara was explaining.
"So you helped you're friends, and you somehow found out you can move rivers. Heh, better hope they don't rat you out," Toph warned, a bit scruffy in her tone.
"I'm just hoping I could stay safe at all." Aang suddenly joined in on the conversation, jumping in and sitting between her and Sokka.
"Well, don't worry, Katara. So long as you're with us, you'll be just fine!" Aang assured her. However, Katara got back up after that.
"WHOA there, I didn't say anything about that."
"Oh. Well maybe you want to?" Aang asked, a question and a statement rolled in one.
"This again, okay look I -"
"Again?" Jin then looked guilty after that was asked, as the others turned to her.
"I kinda asked her already...heehee," Jin admitted, embarrassed.
"Well it doesn't matter, I can't leave here."
"Why not?" Aang asked.
"Let's see. I still have to take care of my mother, then there's my classes, my part-time job, and to top it all off, the Dai Li will be all over my home if I'm to just leave," Katara explained. One of them turned to Toph, whom had a foot on the floor, as she nodded. Katara was telling the truth. Zuko gave a huff at that remark, regardless.
"What would it matter?" Zuko sighed. Katara, slightly angered, walked over to him.
"Excuse me? I'll have you know that my mother needs me!"
"Does she? I'm sure you took in thought if the Dai Li were to find out about your waterbending. Once they do, your mother will be put into custody. But, I'm not here to tell you what to do, now am I?"
"Then why'd you say it at all?!"
"I have my reasons." Katara just sighed in annoyance, hand on her face, but he did have a point. She was thinking of that already, and each fact can, and will, happen if she was caught...then she suddenly realized what she was doing, again.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot! Listen, it's nice to meet you, but I gotta go!" Katara said, beginning to head for the door. Before she left, Jin said to her "think about it, okay?" As if she was trying to make Katara join their group, for whatever reason. After that, she left off into the night.

Dario Franchitti — Lord of the Indy — has high praise for the rising star of Canadian racing.
Lounging in a grey chair near the end of nine hours of repetitive chats with reporters in advance of the Honda Indy, Franchitti turned conversation towards James Hinchcliffe.
"He's a smart kid. He's a good personality, but more than that — he's a bloody good racing driver," Franchitti said.
It's high praise for Hinchcliffe, the 24-year-old IndyCar rookie from Oakville.
Franchitti is the reigning IndyCar Series champion, a title he's holding for the third time. The handsome 38-year-old Scotsman has won the Indianapolis 500 twice. He's married to Ashley Judd (come on, someone had to say it).
When it comes to Indy, and also life, Franchitti has it all. He charmingly declines to reveal the number of sports cars he's collected and cares for at his houses in the United States and Scotland. "I can probably even tell you the mileages of each one," he laughed. "My favorite is probably my Ferrari F-40, but each one does something different for me, it's a different thrill . . . they all float my boat in some different way."
Speaking of boats, after the Honda Indy Franchitti is off to enjoy sailing off the west coast of Scotland.
"I always thought sailing was — eh, whatever — it doesn't have an engine in it. It can't be that exciting," he says. Fondly recalling how his friends got him hooked on the sport, he adds, "we put it out in the wind, put the sails up, shut the engine off. As soon as the sails filled, up the boat went up onto the side, I said — 'Ah, you're kidding me'."
"It's the whole thing of elements, isn't it? Whether you're trimming the sail or you're steering the boat — you see it going from 10 knots to 10.1 and you're like 'Yes!'."
Franchitti says this with genuine and contagious joy. It's impossible to not immediately want to become a sailor, a sports car connoisseur, and a race car driver.
Heck, chat with Franchitti and you'll just want to be Scottish.
Where were we? Right, Hinchcliffe.
"I see him as one of the future stars of Canadian racing," Franchitti says, adding that he and the affable rookie share a sponsor in TW Steel. (Your Timex needs an upgrade, doesn't it?)
"With the legacy that Canadian racing has provided, he has big shoes to fill — but I'm very impressed with what he's done this year."
That legacy includes Paul Tracy and Alex Tagliani, the other two Canucks at the Honda Indy.
Hinchcliffe is donning a special Canadian themed helmet this weekend, and says racing in Toronto is a "dream come true."
He sits 161 points back from leader Franchitti's 303 points in the IndyCar Series this year.
Australia's Will Power is just 20 points back of the leader. Power won Toronto Indy last year and in 2007. He's a favorite to win it again on Sunday afternoon.
Franchitti led the pack in 2009 and is looking to take another victory on Toronto's "bumpy old track" with lots of charm. He had the fastest time in Friday's practice run.
So what else does Franchitti need?
"More races," he says. "I'd like to win this race. I'd like to win the championship again. I'd like to win the Indy 500."
At 38, he has no plans for quitting.
"Yeah, I've got those achievements in the bank if you like, but I still want more," Franchitti says.
So no, he won't be sailing into any metaphoric sunsets anytime soon. But literal ones? Yeah, probably somewhere off the stunning coast of Scotland next week.
"I enjoy racing as much as I ever did. I'm going to keep going," Franchitti says. "This is what I love to do. This is it."

Can I add variables out of a paypal part of the form?Asked by tomorrownight on June 24, 2014 at 02:29 PM
I would like it so that when people book into the event using my form, they fill in their details, but they might want to book their spouse, family or friends all on the same time without restarting the form. How could i make it so that when they add someone else, another payment option comes up, or alternatively when they add another ticket in the payment option it then asks their name and details?
JotForm Support
Yes you can show and hide fields based on conditions being met in other fields. Here is our guide on how to do so:
You would just make the field being shown conditional upon another field that contained the number of people requested. You would set it to be hidden if there number selected is less than 2 and set it to show if the number is greater than one. Please let us know if you need anything further assistance and we will be happy to help.
Thank you for using Jotform!
thanks alot for this!
but im not sure you can do that within a paypal widget though can you? thanks alot ill give it a try.
JotForm Support
It surely is possible by adding multiple text boxes and using conditional logic to hide or show them depending on quantity selected.
Here's an example:
And here's a screenshot of the conditions used:
Feel free to clone this form to learn how the conditions worked.
ARGH! Im sorry for doubting you guys!
I love Jotform!!
Thanks again!

Last week, Humanic gave a sneak peek of their S/S16 collection to a few lucky people - but not only that, it was also a sneak peek into their entire upcoming campaign. We absolutely love it. The idea it centres around a road trip. And we have to say – we did feel like we were transported to spring and summer, and Humanic was the driver.
The event took place in ON Market in Vienna, a lovely restaurant and bar that gave the impression of an exotic location with their printed walls and beautiful tiled floors. The room was also decorated with thing like maps, globes, cameras… every thing you would want for a vacation. Not to mention all the shoes that made us feel absolutely road trip ready.
We noticed a few upcoming trends from the night which included pastel and nude colors, graphic shoes and purses, cage sandals, and metallic as far as the eye can see. All of which we could see ourselves in for any activity we want to do once the weather becomes a bit warmer – all that's left is to wait.
The full spring collection comes out February 15th. Will you be ready for your road trip?

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at PSU's
Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science presents as part of
the ECE507 Seminar Winter 2007 Series: Technology in the New World Development.
Title: "Technology in the New World Development "
Speaker: Bruce Lusignan,
Visiting Professor from Stanford University at PSU
Date: Friday, March 2, 2007
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Location: BA, 190
This series is free and open to the public. For further information, contact the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, (503) 725-3806 or email@example.com.

Poor nations are regaining control of their energy and land resources and turning proceeds towards development. Venezuela is leading Latin America with proceeds from oil and gas sales to U.S. and China. China is investing billions in African infrastructure, tapping their energy, mineral, and food resources. These new trade patterns lead to very different world markets. Instead of pushing well-off consumers to buy more video games, bigger TV's and tinier cell phones, products will be directed towards expansion of basic internet services, development of power grids in Africa and Latin America, marketing of developing world products, support of education and health care, and support of peacekeeping and restoration. A new focus of software and hardware design is needed to support ventures in this New World Development.
Speaker Biography
Professor Lusignan received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford and became a member of the EE faculty there in 1963. Since then he has taught courses in communications systems, space systems, and public olicy. He is now on the PSU faculty teaching Communications and public policy (EDGE: War and Peace, Trade and Environment, and Prejudice and Poverty). At Stanford he pioneered communications satellite, rural switch, cellular telephone technologies, and led the joint Stanford-Russian Mars exploration study.

Hummus, Already Prepared (Canned) by Sy
Recipe by SkipperSy
It takes quite a long time to make Hummus from dried chick peas. This recipe will make a really good and tasty Hummus in a short period of time. This is a great middle eastern breakfast! Don't forget the garlic cucumbers and olives...
Top Review by UmmBinat
This is a good recipe for those canned hummuss I could never make taste good! I used Cortas as called for. We don't like spicy so I left out the hot chili sauce but did add a small garlic clove crushed. The garlic was too much probably because it was not roasted so next time I would like to roast some to make it a bit sweeter and then maybe this will be 5 stars. The additional tahini is what helps the cans so don't skip that. I did not add the sun-dried tomatoes on top as I didnt have any. I put chopped up tomatoes and parsley in a well in the middle with a little olive oil and sprinkled sweet paprika on for colour. I will make this again with said modifications.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (13 ounce) can hummus (Cortas Brand Hummos Tahina, Chick Pea Dip From middle eastern food stores)
- 1 garlic clove, chopped very fine
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 3 -4 tablespoons tahini paste
- 1⁄2-1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- hot chili sauce (Substitute,Tobasco Brand)
- 3 -4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped roughly
Directions See How It's Made
- In a bowl blend the Hummas with the garlic, olive oil, tahini paste, lemon juice, cumin; vary the olive oil, tahini paste and lemon juice to make sure that it does not become to thin.
- You want a nice thick consistency to the Hummas.
- Place on a large round plate and using the back of a spoon to create a"circular swirl like form" around the sides.
- Sprinkle with a little chili/tobasco sauce and garnish with sun-dried tomatoes.
- Serve with pita bread (warm in microwave), pickled garlic cucumbers/olives (Israeli/Arabic variety).
- OPTION- SINGLE HUMMUS PLATE, ALREADY PREPARED (canned).
- Using the above recipe, place a single serving of hummus on a small round plate (add more tahini to taste).
- Using the back of a spoon to create a"circular swirl like form" around the sides and a"well" in the center.
- Sprinkle with hot chili sauce (Substitution- Tobasco Brand/Texas Pete Hot Sauce) In the"well" put some chopped onions, greens, fresh tomato, etc.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Serve on a side dish: pita bread (warm in a microwave), pickled garlic cucumbers and olives (Israeli/Arabic variety).

As part of the Austin Food Blogger Alliance's annual City Guide, I'm sharing my list of the best Austin beer bars for the second consecutive year. This list is strictly for bars, pubs, and restaurants serving up the finest selections within the Austin city limits. Sorry, 'burbs. Tap rooms and breweries are excluded, with only a couple exceptions, because I consider them more beer bars than brewpubs. The city is broken down into quadrants: Downtown, Central/North, East Side, and South.
Banger's Sausage House and Beer Garden– located on Rainey Street, this sausagatorium features over 100 (!) beers on tap, the most in the city. Banger's is dog friendly with numerous picnic tables outside, beer hall seating inside, and all their food is made in-house.
Mon-Wed 4pm-11pm | Thurs 11am-12am | Fri-Sat 11am-2am | Sun 11am-11pm
Bar Lamar– located inside the downtown Whole Foods, this started the supermarket bar trend. Bar Lamar has seen an uptick in the quality of its tap list in the last few years and even expanded their draft offerings. The service can be hit or miss. Grab a pint at the bar or bottle/can from the massive beer cooler, and while away the hours in the grandest Whole Foods in the land.
Daily 12pm-10pm
Brew Exchange– situated in Sixth Street's douchier district this bar's schtick is fluctuating prices like the stock market. The more in demand the beer, the higher the price. Buy low, drink up is the motto, but the starting prices are never that cheap. They just start out as ordinary and get more expensive from there. I bet you probably like that sort of thing, you capitalist pig.
Mon-Fri 3pm-2am | Sat & Sun 11am-2am
Craft Pride– 54 taps serving only Texas craft beer on Rainey Street. Check out the food trailer, Via 313 in the backyard for some delicious Detroit-style pizza. Craft Pride features live music, indoor and outdoor seating, and a bottle shop.
Mon-Sat 4pm-2am | Sun 4pm-1am

From the Office of Governor John Lynch
CONCORD - Gov. John Lynch today applauded the final passage of legislation aimed at helping the hardest-hit victims of the October floods.
"This assistance is critical to helping some of our hardest-hit families recover from the devastation of the floods. These families saw their homes washed away; in some cases even the very land where their houses once stood is gone. They are paying mortgages on properties that no longer exist," Gov. Lynch said.
The legislation, House Bill 1767, would allow the state to purchase property located in Alstead, Acworth, Langdon and Walpole that was severely damaged or destroyed by the floods. The property would be purchased at pre-flood assessed value minus the total amount of financial aid the property owner received from any other such as federal disaster aid or insurance payments. No property owner would be required to sell.
The legislation is sponsored by Representatives Dan Eaton, Jay Phinizy, Jack Pratt, Liz Hager, Deborah Hogancamp, and Sen. Bob Odell.

Outline: This tutorial mainly show you how to encode MKV files to play on Samsung Gear VR,
keep reading...
Presently lots of users prefer to download high definition videos
from internet. Most of them are in MKV format. MKV is a flexible, open standard video file format which can store alternate audio tracks, multilingual subtitles and chapter points, as well as
rich metadata authoring (including cover art, ratings, and descriptions) in one single file. This feature makes you play and watch MKV just as enjoy Blu-rays. In this article , I would like to
show you a step by step guide on how to encode MKV for watching on Gear VR via Galayx Note 4 with zero quality loss.
Samsung Gear VR is a mobile virtual reality headset, on which you can play your own movies using the Oculus Cinema with brilliant immersive viewing experience. It supports a wide range of media formats including MKV files in 2D or 3D SBS(Side-by-Side) work on Gear VR, but the audio has to be encoded in AAC or MP3 for stereo. AC3 audio and DTS Dolby don't seem to work and this is why you often play MKV files on Gear VR with no sound found. In order to watch MKV on Gear VR with Galaxy Note 4, you just need a right program and convert MKV to 3D MP4 for smoothly playing on Gear VR via Galaxy Note 4.
Luckily, iFastime Video Converter Ultimate (Read review) is just the right app that can help you to finish the task quickly and easily.
This video converter has been proven to be an outstanding MKV video converter. With it, you can convert MKV to Gear VR compatible SBS 3D MP4/MKV effortlessly. In addition to MKV files, this program also allows you to rip Blu-ray/DVD/ISO and convert all 2D/3D videos in AVI, WMV, MPG, VOB, TiVo, MOV, etc to a decent format as you want. What's more, with the built-in editor, you can trim, crop, adjust special effect to your MKV video, so that you get the very part and effects at your will. If you are a Mac user, you can turn to iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac (El Capitan, Yosemite included), which has the same function as the Windows version.

Step 1. Import MKV video
Click the "Add video" button, browse to import video into this app.
Step 2. Decide output format
Tap on "Format" bar and find "3D Video", there are a lot of format options for you. "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)" is recommended for Samsung Gear VR. Of course, "MKV Side-by-Side 3D video", "MOV Side-by-Side 3D video" are also supported.
Tip: Click Settings to adjust the parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel. 1920x1080 compressed side-by-side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side-by-side resolution.
Step 3. Start encoding MKV to Gear VR
Click "Start conversion" button to start converting MKV to Samsung Gear VR friendly 3D video. After the conversion, you can get the resulted videos by clicking the Open button.
After the conversion, you need to transfer the converted 3D movie to Galaxy Note 4 for playback with VR. Just refer to the following steps:
1. On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
2. Create a new folder in "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
3. Move your SBS 3D videos into your newly created "3D" folder
Once you have created your 3D content folder and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your Galaxy Note 4, pair up the phone with your Gear VR, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:
1. Navigate to Oculus Cinema from the main menu
2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the Oculus Cinema content library menu
3. Select the 3D video you want to watch (if you followed the above steps it should have a "3D" label in the upper righthand corner)
4. Choose the cinema mode to begin playback.
Now you can easily watch converted MKV videos on your Galaxy Note with Gear VR at home instead of going to cinema, or you can put them onto other 3D players for stunning playback. So nice!

Long story short, me and this guy would text just about everyday. On Monday, I invited him over for Tuesday and he said he would "let me know". He didn't text me all day Tuesday, so he basically "let me know" by not saying anything. Now it's Wednesday and he hasn't texted me still. I want to talk to him though. What's his deal? He was the one who suggested to hangout in the first place!

So i posted here a little bit ago and got some responses about this girl I like. The responses all said she likes me or there is a good chance she does. I am confused on how to proceed with her? I want to ask her if I can sit with her on the bus and say tell me about your day or something but am not sure. Is there something I can say to her that will make it obvious if she likes me back like "you have the prettiest big brown eyes" or something. And see how she responds? Thanks!
Most Helpful Girl
Just go ahead and ask if you can sit with her and compliment her and listen, just be genuine and smile a lot. If she smiles back a lot and makes eye contact with you while you are talking to her she probably really likes you unless she is a shy girl. If she's shy she might blush if she likes you.00|00|0

Tech News on G4
Sony shines at Holiday Event
October 12, 2007
By John Powell - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- John Powell column archive
Santa better save some room on that sleigh come December. Based on the multitude of games on display at the PlayStation Holiday Preview Event in Toronto, Sony has a lot of holiday gaming goodness waiting in the wings.
If there was one common element that really stood out no matter which booth you went to was the PlayStation 3 graphics. Sharp, detailed and colourful, most of the PS3 titles were really darn perty to look at. So much so that the PS2 games really looked really out of place next to their flashy and polished next-gen brethren.
Wandering through the cacophony of sights and sounds, we took some of the titles out for a spin and here are our first impressions.
Army of Two
More and more it is looking like the PlayStation will have its 'Gears of War' come November. Having played both titles, the comparisons are undeniable. 'Army' has the same exact hide and seek gameplay as 'Gears' but there seems to be some clever multiplayer mechanics that are at the core of the game. For example: You must help each other scale over walls and complete other tasks in order to proceed. Known for their clever AI work, EA doesn't disappoint. AI enemies will often try to outflank you or race you to secure key combat positions. Although the solo AI wasn't on hand to compare, 'Army' looks like a truly comprehensive co-op experience that may indeed raise the bar like the first 'Lego Star Wars' did in 2005.
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Man, talk about crazy, insane fun. I am not the biggest fan of platform
games but what little I played of 'Tools of Destruction' had me definitely
wanting more. In a span of a few minutes, I was running along a collapsed
bridge while battling robots, skydiving through the air while using the
motion sensitive Sixaxis controller to guide my fall and sliding along
railway tracks avoiding laser blasts and death-dealing trains. If the
Dark Sector
From the slime on the subterranean tunnels walls to the shadows generated
by firelight, Dark Sector looks astounding. Unlike other titles that are
all flash and little substance, Dark Sector has the gritty gameplay to
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008.
The best wrestling game ever made returns with a face-lift of sorts, not that it really needed much of one. 2007 was as perfect as you can get. You can start up the EC DUB!! chants as the hardcore federation finally joins the Raw and Smackdown! superstars this year. Yep. You no longer have to create your own from scratch as the Extreme Superstars are all in the game. There is also a new special Extreme Rules Match that contains all sorts of zany weapons like the Sandman's favourite...a nasty Singapore Cane.
To improve things, Yuke's has combined the GM and Season modes into something they are calling "24/7" where your goal isn't to just make it to 'WrestleMania' but to become a pro wrestling legend. There is a new defensive grappling/submission system and Yuke's has introduced a multitude of different fighting styles (Hardcore, Dirty, Technical) that will have an impact on how each wrestler handles and performs. As an added bonus, on the PS3 you will be able to use the Sixaxis controller to enter 'first person' mode and experience the game from a different perspective.
Rock Band
Hearing about it and playing it are two different things. At the Sony show, the whole ensemble was there to try out: a microphone for the vocalist, the Fender Stratocaster guitars and the drum set. Based on the chemistry of the volunteers who were clambering to try out the game, it is probably safe to say that come November there will be many openings for lead singers in Rock Band multiplayer groups. People tended to shy away from that peripheral even though it can be hit to produce tambourine sounds. Nice.
The screen set-up has the vocal track at the top using the same game mechanics as 'Sing Star', the guitars down below and the drum track in the middle. Some of the songs to select from were Bowie's "Suffragette City" Nirvana's "In Bloom" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". Each player can choose their own individual game level before each song and the players are rewarded for playing in "unison". A total blast no matter which instrument you use.
