|First appearance
|Voiced by
Ty Lee is a cheerful and energetic teenaged girl, hailing from the Fire Nation. The daughter of a nobleman, she attended the Royal Fire Academy for Girls with her longtime friends Princess Azula and Mai. As a child, she dealt with six sisters that shared an identical appearance to her, which caused a loss of individuality, a longing to be a distinct, recognizable person, and a desire for attention from other people. Because of this, after she matured, she abandoned her home and joined a Fire Nation circus, becoming a skilled acrobatic performer, gaining more attention.
Ty Lee is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing a unique form of martial arts that attacks the pressure points on the human body. By striking these, she is able to disrupt that individual's chi flow and temporarily paralyze them, removing their ability to use bending. She and Mai were recruited by Princess Azula to hunt down and capture her relatives Prince Zuko and Iroh, and later, the Avatar.
Mai later betrays Azula to save Zuko's life, which leads to an attack from the infuriated princess. Courageously, Ty Lee rescues Mai from injury by paralyzing Azula, which leads to her and Mai's imprisonment. While held, she was reunited with the Kyoshi Warriors and befriended them. In return for teaching them how to block chi, she joins their group and is released from prison when the War is over, ironically adopting their makeup, effectively becoming one of a matched set.
During one of Zuko's flashbacks, she is shown to be superior in acrobatics even as a child, able to gracefully perform a series of cartwheels and somersaults at which Azula fails. Azula roughly pushes Ty Lee down in retaliation for upstaging her, then laughs. Ty Lee's clear annoyance with this behavior, however, does not stop her from happily going along with Azula's plan to humiliate Mai and Zuko, on whom Mai has a crush. After Azula orchestrates a situation in which Mai and Zuko fall into a fountain, Ty Lee teases the pair about being "cute" together. She seems to have been a happy and lighthearted child, although she followed Azula rather blindly,as she continued to do before her captivity.
Spring 100 AG
A New Task
After Ty Lee ran away to join the circus, Azula tracked her down and attempted to recruit her to assist with the capture of the now-fugitive Zuko and Iroh. However, Ty Lee was at peace and happy with her lifestyle, claiming that her "aura has never been pinker!" Azula, in an ostensibly friendly gesture, informed Ty Lee that she would attend that night's performance before leaving, while Ty Lee seemed rather uneasy about this. During the performance, Azula ordered the Ringmaster to set ablaze the net beneath the tightrope on which Ty Lee is performing, and to release an assortment of dangerous animals, securing the lethal effect that would take hold if Ty Lee were to fall.
Afterwards, Ty Lee informed Azula that she would not be performing the next day, due to the fact that, "the universe is giving me strong hints that it's time for a career change." When Mai later asked her about the circus being her calling, Ty Lee notes that "Azula called a little louder." She accompanies Mai and Azula when they made a hostage trade (King Bumi for Tom Tom) and, after Mai called off the trade at Azula's suggestion, she acquitted herself well in the ensuing battle using her Chi blocking to disable Katara's Waterbending. Later, when they're leaving the city, Ty Lee, much like in childhood, teased Mai about her affections for Zuko, noting that it will be "interesting" for Mai to see him again. [1]
Pursuing Team Avatar
Ty Lee, Mai, and Azula pursued Aang and his companions, and when Sokka and Katara split from the Avatar, Ty Lee and Mai are charged with tracking down the siblings. The two overwhelmed them easily, but were then sent flying into a river by an air blast from Appa. Once out of the water, she states her affections for Sokka. [2]
Ty Lee, Mai, and Azula oversaw the attempt to breech the walls of the Earth Kingdom capital, Ba Sing Se . When the Terra Team was sent out to slow the drill, Azula ordered Mai and Ty Lee to deal with them. With the help of her companion, Ty Lee made quick work of the team, blocking their chi and disabling them.
Later, when Aang, Katara, and Sokka were found sabotaging the drill, Ty Lee once again acknowledged Sokka particularly, this time sending him a flirtatious look, to which Sokka responded with some light flirting of his own. Once Azula sent Mai and Ty Lee after the fleeing siblings, Ty Lee followed them into the slurry waste pipeline. However, Katara and Toph bent the water and rock mixture, using it to plug up the waste tunnel while Ty Lee was trapped in it, thus thwarting her attempt to catch them. During this, Katara was presumably embittered towards Ty Lee because of her ability to impair bending and aggressively insulted Ty Lee, calling her a "circus freak." After the drill is destroyed Ty Lee was launched out of the pipeline by the build-up of pressure and slammed into a rock platform, but was more or less unharmed. [3]
Fall of Ba Sing Se
After the defeat of the drill, Ty Lee played a minor role and only reappeared when helping Azula attack Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors. During the battle, she showed concern over her physical appearance, when she remarked that she was more attractive than a Kyoshi Warrior she was fighting. [4]
After Team Avatar departed from Ba Sing Se, Earth King Kuei gave audience to three imposter Kyoshi Warriors, who are later revealed to be Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in disguise. The girls used their false identities to aid their infiltration into the Earth Kingdom city, fooling both the Earth King, and Team Avatar . However in the episode "The Guru", Katara rushes in with important news. She says how Zuko and Iroh have entered the city. Azula (who Katara thinks is Suki) tells Katara that she'll be sure to let the Earth King know. Katara sees her gold eyes, recognizes them as Azula's and prepares to attack the group. However, Ty Lee suddenly attacks Katara with a chi block therefore allowing the trio to easily capture Katara. [5]
After a successful coup against the government of the Earth Kingdom orchestrated by Azula, Ty Lee remarked how cute Sokka was. Then while fighting Sokka, claimed it was like they were dancing. Ty Lee was last seen trying to teach the Earth King's bear, Bosco, how to do a handstand. While in the process of doing this, Toph Earthbended her hands and feet to the floor, rendering her immobile. [6]
Book Three: Fire
A Trip to Ember Island
Ty Lee and her friends vacationed for a short time on Ember Island, at Lo and Li's beach house. At the beach, Ty Lee soon finds herself being approached by a boy who helps her unpack, and then stand to give her shade. Not long after, another boy came with a seashell to present to Ty Lee. In no time at all Ty Lee was surrounded by many admirers. During a Kuai Ball match, Ty Lee attracted the attention of two boys, Chan and Ruon-Jian, who invite Ty Lee and Mai, as well as Azula and Zuko (though reluctantly) to a party that night.
During the party, Ty Lee was surrounded by boys and was forced to paralyze them with chi blocking to escape the crowd. Seeing this, Azula calls Ty Lee a tease and says that none of the boys really cared about her. When Ty Lee starts crying, clearly upset, Azula hurriedly apologizes and confides that she said those things only because she was a little jealous of Ty Lee's popularity. Azula asked Ty Lee how to make boys like her. Ty Lee felt that boys were intimidated by Azula, and tells her to act as if she is interested. The group is later kicked out of the party and goes down to the beach together.
When a campfire was started, Zuko mocks Ty Lee as a circus freak. Ty Lee reveals tearfully that she had six sisters who looked identical to her, and that she went to the circus to have individuality, "circus freak" was something she regards as a compliment. Mai replied that the reason Ty Lee wants so much attention is because she received so little as a child, affecting her for the future.
The group then began to open up to one another. With all their secrets out revealed, the heaviness between the four seems to vanish. Ty Lee commented that she would remember this night forever, and that Lo and Li were correct about the beach's ability to reveal people's true selves. To celebrate their revelations, Azula decided on a fitting end to their night - the four then headed back to Chan's party, trashing the house and leaving it a ransacked mess. Together, the four of them forged their own memory of the place, uniting as friends for the first time in years. [7]
Arrest at the Boiling Rock
Ty Lee made another appearance when she assisted Azula at the Boiling Rock maximum-security prison. She and Azula then confront Sokka, Suki, Zuko, Hakoda, and Chit Sang, a firebending prisoner. Suki, now well aware of Ty Lee's Chi-blocking techniques, took great care to evade her attacks. When the guards were about to cut the line on the gondola she and Azula were standing on, they jump onto another passing gondola, after which she wore an unsure and anxious look on her face - either for Sokka, hinting that she may still have had some feelings for him, or more likely for Zuko, her old childhood friend.
Back at the Boiling Rock, she saw Mai double-cross the Fire Nation guards. After some tension and argument between Azula and Mai, Ty Lee turned against Azula, blocking her chi and striking her down to protect Mai. Ty Lee then urged her dumbfounded friend to leave the scene, but they were arrested before they were able to flee . Azula ordered the guards to lock the two away, not wanting to be in their presence after their unfaithfulness. These events severely weakened Azula's mentality, and played a part in her defeat and nervous breakdown at the hands of Zuko and Katara. [8]
Release from Prison
While in prison, Ty Lee met and befriended her old enemies, the Kyoshi Warriors. Ty Lee gave them some lessons in chi blocking, which lead to their bonding. After they were let out of prison, the Kyoshi Warriors allowed Ty Lee to join them. It is assumed that she went with them to Kyoshi Island to begin her training, and may have incorporated her chi blocking into their fighting style. She last appeared on Fire Lord Zuko's coronation day, in a Kyoshi Warrior uniform, elated to be a part of the warrior team.
Since the end of the War
Since the end of the War and Zuko's coronation, Ty Lee has been on Kyoshi Island. Since not all of the Warriors were trained, Ty Lee has volunteered to train the remaining Kyoshi Warriors in the art of chi blocking.
Deciding to take a vacation, Ty Lee returned to the Fire Nation Capitol to visit Mai. After spending a long time with her, a crisis emerged when the Phoenix Warriors attacked the Capitol. Ty Lee convinces Mai to leave and follows her down an escape route.
Ty Lee is bubbly and outgoing, yet slightly air-headed. She is a direct contrast of Azula's innate cruelty and Mai's constant torpor. She appears to delight in her own acrobatic abilities, and never misses an opportunity to show them off, most likely a result of her lack of childhood attention. Because of her upbringing, being a part of an identical set of seven sisters, Ty Lee craves attention and recognition. This is what may have lead her to develop her acrobatics in the first place, as well as her running away to join the circus. These attention issues also cause her to be a bit of a flirt, which is also why, according to Mai, she needs the affection of ten boyfriends.
Ty Lee has shown a strong sense of loyalty to her friends, Mai and Azula. Despite her obvious differences from Mai, she has a strong respect for her and they often make an effective fighting force together, teaming up numerous times in the series. Ever since childhood, Ty Lee has also considered Azula as a friend, but as she got older, that loyalty seems to have been based out of fear for the Princess. When she first refused Azula's request that she join her search for the traitorous Zuko, Azula persuaded Ty Lee again by endangering her life during a circus performance. Since then, she never disobeyed Azula's orders. However, a breaking point came at last at the Boiling Rock, during Azula's attempted murder of her own brother and Ty Lee's childhood friend, Zuko. When the rope holding Zuko's gondola was about to be cut, potentially sending Zuko along with several prisoners and friends plummeting to their deaths, Ty Lee appeared to be concerned while Azula smirked on next to her. After Mai helped him escape the prison, Azula threatened her life. Seeing Mai stand in the face of Azula's terrible rage, but also out of fear for Mai's safety, Ty Lee attacked Azula, ending up in jail but finally conquering her own fears and taking a stand against her "friend" after months of submission. [8]
Ty Lee apparently is not known to hold grudges against her enemies despite their encounters on the battlefield. This is evidenced by her recent bond with the Kyoshi Warriors, whose imprisonment she is partially responsible for. She was able to establish a fairly strong friendship with the group while they were held together. She also has shown affection for Sokka, despite having fought him under the orders of Azula.
Ty Lee has also been known to be close to animals. In Ba Sing Se, she was seen teaching Bosco acrobatic moves before Toph Earthbended her to the ground. This may be related to her being in the circus, where she may have bonded or performed acts with them.
Ty Lee has a slight tendency to be superficial, which is demonstrated for the first time when she affirms her beauty to a Kyoshi Warrior, and a second time when she warns her friends about the negative energy, which she says will give them acne, despite the serious conversation. This attribute may have originated with her profession as a circus performer, her appearance perhaps making her a more popular attraction among the audience - especially since this experience came right after an upbringing which had left her attention-starved.
Master Acrobat: Ty Lee is extraordinarily acrobatic. Even at a young age, she was able to do cartwheels and somersaults in mid-air with a skill that surpassed even the agile Azula's. Her acrobatic abilities allowed her to join the Fire Nation circus, where she frequently performed high-wire acts with balance and grace. Because of this, she is very fast and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent she comes across. Her abilities allowed her to dodge dozens of powerful Earthbenders, who were unable to land a hit on her. She is also very flexible, able to contort herself into positions nearly impossible for a normal person to achieve and walk on her hands without any struggle. These abilities allow her to scale almost any surface very quickly, and squeeze through most barriers and into small spaces.
Pressure-Point Master: However, Ty Lee's defining, most noticeable ability is her mastery of pressure-point striking martial arts, chi blocking. She is able to strike sequences of pressure points immobilize her enemies to various degrees. She has the ability to paralyze a single body part, or even the entire human anatomy. This technique allows her to block certain Chi paths in benders to compromise their abilities. This makes her especially dangerous to warriors like Katara, who rely solely on their Bending and possess no secondary fighting skills. She is so powerful, that outside the walls of Ba Sing Se, she was able to defeat dozens of powerful Earthbenders within seconds. However, if her target has faced her before or is expecting it, the effectiveness of her Chi blocking decreases as her opponent takes measures to prevent her from using the technique. Fighting her before, Suki was able to avoid her attacks at the Boiling Rock, and Katara and Sokka were able to do so as well. She also takes Azula by surprise when she is about to strike Mai. It might be possible that she could kill someone with her chi blocking skills, but doesn't do so because of her kind-hearted personality and lack of need to do so.

Looks like this Santa needs to come to our 'Christmas Recovery Boot Camp'.
I've rewritten new lyrics to this favorite tune of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' for our camp theme song:
You better watch out,
Go have a good cry,
You better lie down,
I'm telling you why,
Christmas let-down can be so hard.
You've thrown out your list
You've hidden the scales
Now catch up on sleep
Don't open the mail
Now you can relax and reflect.
You've worked so hard to get there,
And now it's almost done,
The parties and the presents
And all that Christmas 'fun'.
So, you better watch out,
Go have a good cry,
You better lie down,
I'm telling you why,
Christmas let-down can be so hard.
Whether you have depression issues or not, most people experience some sort of let-down after Christmas. There is such a build up and then it is over so quickly, you hardly have time to adjust.
This is the last of our series 'Taking Control of Christmas Chaos'. If we put as much effort into recovery as we put into preparation we might be able to avoid the letdown pitfall.
Depression can be tough after Christmas.
Here are some great tips about "How to Cope With Post Holiday Syndrome" that can guide you through this time. This article is good for everyone, depression or not.
This second article is written specifically for those with depression. I would recommend How to Manage Post-Holiday Depression as mandatory reading no matter what shape you are in right now.
Be kind to yourself. 'Christmas chaos' has both an up side and a down side. The down side can catch you unawares. Be vigilant. Do the things you normally do to deal with depression. Hang in there!
I'm so glad you dropped by Depression Getaway today! There is hope for depression. Don't give up, I'm praying for you.

How to decrease space between fields and decrease vertical spacing? Here's the link: https://form.jotform.me/53492692786472Asked by rmevangelista on December 20, 2015 at 03:19 AM
JotForm Support
If I'm going to base it to one of your forms: http://www.jotform.com/53492692786472, I believe you are referring to this(please see image below), is that correct?
If yes, then you can decrease that by using CSS codes injected to your form or by going to the Designer tool under Line Layout.
Note: After making changes via the Designer tool, please inspect the whole form within the tool's preview section to see if there are other fields that is affected by the changes you made and you don't want that.
If you're looking to make changes to specific fields only, I would prefer you use CSS codes for those specific fields only. Let us know if you need any help doing so.
Here are guides that may help you:
Thank you.
Thank you for your help.
How about problem regarding the changing of position of my fields every time I forgot to fill the required field, it changes the width and the position.
JotForm Support
The thing that's causing your form to be like that is the "required field" message width. Since it is wider than the form fields, it will adjust the container of the form field by 100px so it would fit.
Actually, I would just like to confirm first how would you like to have the warning message to show on your form. Using CSS, we can shorten the space provided for the message, this would, of course, means that you need to also adjust the content of the message or change it to a much shorter one. The icon will also be adjusted as necessary.
width: 46px !important;
font-size: 8px !important;
}.form-error-message img{
width: 8px !important;
height: 8px !important;
Above would result to this.
You can also remove the require field warning message entirely using this code:
display: none !important;
This would, however, still show a red border on the required field when it is skipped.
Those are only my suggestions, if you have any other requirement or idea, please feel free to let us know in details so we may try to work on it for you.
Thank you.
Thank you Mike_G.

15 Year-Old Boy He Tried To Meet Was A Paedophile Investigator
The numbers of dedicated roads policing numbers in Northamptonshire have been cut by more than a third in a year.
The RAC have obtained the figures from across England and Wales (not London) and found apart from West Yorkshire (40%), the biggest fall in roads policing numbers is in Northamptonshire.
In 2014, Northants Police had 59 dedicated roads policing officers. In 2015, that had dropped to 38, a 36.1% reduction.
Other neighbouring forces have also seen more modest reductions of between 2-7% (Beds, Herts and Cambs).
In the Thames Valley, the force have increased their traffic officer numbers from 203 to 204.
All this comes as Government figures show an increase in the numbers of people killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads.
Department for Transport figures for 2014 show that road fatalities grew by 4% from the previous year to 1,775 and the number of people seriously injured increased by 5% to 22,807.
We asked Northants Police for an interview, they have given us this response:
"Roads Policing and Armed Policing lead for EMOpSS, Superintendent Steve Potter, said:
'Northamptonshire Police is part of the East Midlands Operational Support Service, a regional collaboration with Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, which puts the force in a strong position in terms of depth of resource and resilience and allows resources to be called upon from across the region.
Roads policing is carried out by the Roads and Armed Policing team and the Tactical Roads Policing team which, as well as firearms support, provides roads policing support, including initial response to fatal and serious road traffic collisions and roads policing enforcement.
In addition, the force's Safer Roads Team within the joint police and fire Prevention and Community Protection Department, focuses on additional local enforcement of traffic issues as well as prevention and education."
Figures obtained by Heart show the other forces mentioned in that statement have had fewer cuts than Northants (Leics 6%, Notts 13%, Lincs 8%).

General Assembly
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending Hattha Kaksekar's annual General Assembly, held at Sihanoukville, Cambodia's resort town. When general manager Mr. Tong invited me I initially thought it was going to just a board meeting with a day at the beach thrown in for fun. Turns out I was very wrong. HKL is a large MFI. Everyone in the organization was invited, from the top managers and directors to security guards and janitors. Over 280 people attended, descending on Sihanoukville from nine HKL branches all over Cambodia. I hitched a ride on the bus chartered by the head office. Spirits were high as we left Phnom Penh, despite temperatures hovering around 100 in the packed bus. Everyone was excited for General Assembly, which is a highly anticipated event among HKL staff. It's a chance to reconnect with friends and co-workers from other branches, some of whom they get to see only once a year. It was a festive five-hour drive down National Route 4 to the coast. Nonstop karaoke, drums, clapping, jokes, laughter. There were several leisurely rest stops along the way where we got out to stretch and sample questionable street vendor fare. As we passed through the Elephant Mountains, half the bus emptied at a roadside Buddhist shrine to light incense and make offerings for a safe journey. This is a must on Cambodian highways, where traffic laws are non-existent and safety consists of honking your horn as you pass on blind turns. Fortunately, we had a veteran driver.
HKL had practically rented out the entire Golden Sea Hotel for the occasion. The next day, everyone dressed in their finest business outfits. Most staff wore starched blue shirts with pressed pants or skirts, while management wore dark suits. I was hopelessly underdressed, but a tucked-in collared shirt goes a long way and they seemed to cut me some slack. Things started promptly at 7:30 with seven hours of power point presentations and speeches in Khmer. I sat up front with the management team trying to follow along, but could only comprehend numbers and whatever limited translations my seatmates whispered to me. 2007 had been the "year of valentine" for HKL, which I gathered meant that everyone was supposed to treat each other with love and respect. Mr. Tong declared 2008 to be the "year of happiness and prosperity." Seven hours of business presentations in a foreign language was a bit of a challenge, but it was interesting to get a feel for the overall structure of HKL and its goals for the future.
The most anticipated event of the weekend was the banquet. Steaming mounds of rice topped with seasoned fish, mysterious crustaceans and mollusks caught that morning from the Gulf of Thailand and fresh fruit for dessert. And, of course, endless pitchers of Angkor beer. Cambodians love Angkor, which they drink with huge chunks of ice. Being unaccustomed to this practice, I politely declined because the beer was already ice cold. This turned out to be a mistake as the night wore on. Cambodians also love toasting, clinking glasses every minute or so. Having watered-down beer enables you to endure many toasts, which is essential because this banquet was especially large and long. Just about every credit officer from all nine branches wandered over to my table that night to introduce themselves and offer a toast. Trying to remember a single Cambodian name is hard enough for me, let alone over 250, but it was great to meet the faces behind the business profiles I've been editing.
After dinner various speeches and pronouncements were made. The Kampong Cham branch performed a skit called "Six Ways to Make People Like You" which included cross-dressing and riotous laughter. Then a DJ played HKL's official song (yes, they have a song), a distressingly catchy piece of Cambodian pop written, composed, and sung by members of the internal auditing team. I had this song stuck in my head the rest of the trip. Once the music started everyone got up for traditional Khmer dancing. To me, this appeared to consist of walking counter-clockwise around a table with undulating hands and arms. Didn't look too tough. I gave it a shot, much to everyone's delight. I soon discovered that the moves were actually very specific and complex. Trying to save me from further embarrassment, a few guys asked me to show them some "hip-hop moves." I don't have anything remotely resembling hip-hop moves, but I indulged them with something vague and mostly awkward. The party ended around midnight, which is late a country where most people are in bed by 9:30.
The next day was a free day. The Banteay Meanchey branch challenged the Phnom Penh branch to a soccer match and won decisively 11-3. I couldn't play because of a smashed toe, and my moral support evidently didn't count for much. The rest of the day I hung out with the guys from the Stoung branch, playing beach games and swimming in the warm water. Mostly they sat in the shade playing cards and drinking Angkor. Vendors hawked all sorts of stuff, from swim trunks and sea-shell trinkets to raw peanuts and grilled squid.
Lunch and dinner was banquet-style with more seafood, but nowhere near as festive as last night. Everyone was up by 5:30 the next morning for the ride back to Phnom Penh. Back to work./>

Marquez, Bradley eager to put Pacquiao behind them
Credit: The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Juan Manuel Marquez could have fought Manny Pacquiao for a fifth time. Timothy Bradley could have had a rematch with the Filipino congressman.
They both turned down chances to follow up on the biggest victories of their boxing careers. Marquez and Bradley wanted to face each other instead, and they will meet in a welterweight title bout Oct. 12.
Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs) and Bradley (30-0, 12 KOs) are looking for a chance to be seen outside Pacman's enormous shadow, and they'll get it at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Labor accused of dirty politics in dying days of WA election campaign
In the dying days of the state election campaign, the West Australian premier has been forced to deny that he's sick, and unwilling to serve a full term. Labor sources have been suggesting Colin Barnett, who's in his early sixties, has found the campaign too tiring and Labor Leader Mark McGowan has been focusing on the idea that Treasurer Troy Buswell will take over if the Liberals form government.
Source: PM | Duration: 3min 26sec
Topics: elections, government-and-politics, wa, australia
MARK COLVIN: In the dying days of the West Australian election campaign, the State's Premier has been forced to deny that he's ill and unwilling to serve a full term. Labor sources have been suggesting that Colin Barnett, who's in his early 60s, has found the campaign too tiring. They've contrasted the Premier with Labor Leader Mark McGowan, who's in his 40s.
David Weber reports.
DAVID WEBER: The Labor Leader Mark McGowan mentioned Troy Buswell several times during his rally speech on Monday.
MARK MCGOWAN: Mr Barnett will retire during the next term if he's elected, everyone knows it. Troy Buswell is being groomed to take over from Colin Barnett.
DAVID WEBER: The succession theme has been raised at various Labor events this week. It's been tied to suggestions by Labor sources about Mr Barnett's health.
The Premier spoke to the West Australian newspaper, denying speculation about his health before it made its way into a story. As a result, he found himself on the front page, with the headline 'I'm not sick'.
This morning, on Fairfax Radio, presenter Paul Murray quizzed the Premier.
PAUL MURRAY: Is it true you're pregnant?
COLIN BARNETT: Ha ha! Well I assure you I'm in good health but not such good health that I can have a baby.
PAUL MURRAY: I hear you're going a little bit deaf?
COLIN BARNETT: No I think I can hear you.
PAUL MURRAY: So not pregnant, not deaf, not sick?
COLIN BARNETT: Fighting fit.
PAUL MURRAY: That should keep the west going for three or four days.
COLIN BARNETT: Yep, no I think the only thing I've done in the last year is lose a few kilos which is good and I don't think I've had a sick day off. Lyn and I were talking about it this morning, I can't remember when I had a day off work.
DAVID WEBER: The front-page article also fuelled the claim that Mr Buswell would be premier by quoting a Liberal backbencher who 'recalled rumours'. The backbencher said the rumour was that Troy Buswell only gave up the Liberal leadership in 2008 on the understanding he'd get it back after he'd recovered from the damaging publicity associated with the 'chair sniffing' incident.
It's the second time during the campaign that someone identified as a Liberal backbencher has been the source of information that's been damaging to Mr Barnett. Mr Barnett has denied anything like a deal was done.
COLIN BARNETT: There is no deal or understanding about myself and Troy Buswell at all, in fact I tried to persuade Troy at the time to stay on as leader, he eventually decided he wouldn't and we all know what happened and so there's no deal like that at all and as I've said if this government is re-elected and if my colleagues still has confidence in me as Premier, I will serve a full term.
DAVID WEBER: After the interview, Mr Barnett accused Labor of playing dirty.
COLIN BARNETT: Relentless attacks on Troy Buswell, unreasonable, talking about an issue, an incidence that happened basically five years ago. And we've seen more recently that I've been accused of I don't know, talk about age apparently I'm too old, apparently I'm not well, apparently I've got a bung eye, apparently I had five days off during the campaign - I mean just none of that is true.
DAVID WEBER: Mr McGowan has denied he suggested anything about Mr Barnett's health. But he's sticking to his claims of a succession plan.
MARK MCGOWAN: Mr Barnett said, if re-elected he would be looking at a retirement plan during the next term of government, that's what he said. Now he's changed his story, it's quite clear they've been grooming Mr Buswell, quite clear. Other ministers have been hidden for this entire campaign; the only people we see are Mr Barnett and Mr Buswell.
DAVID WEBER: Despite repeated requests from PM, Troy Buswell has been unavailable for interview this week.
MARK COLVIN: David Weber.

This soothing and spiritually inclined chime is tuned to a scale based on Indian musical notes.
It hearkens you back to a past life perhaps, when sitting on a mountain did not mean you paid exorbitantly for a lift ticket to ski, back to a time when chanting did not include a sports team's name, when you were learning that all was illusion.
And now you have reincarnated, not to deny the illusion, but to overcome it and help others.
And it helps to center yourself and be inside your head.
Let this chime help you get there.
Via Woodstock:
"The Woodstock Meditation Chime was listed as one of 9 Mother's Day gift ideas on the Peaceful Daily blog by Huffington Post contributor Sandy Henson Corso. Sandy's passion is the holistic world and her voice is a reflection of that passion.
med-i-tate v. 1. to engage in contemplation or reflection. 2. to engage in mental exercise (as concentration on one's breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness.
The practice of meditation has been an integral part of many religions for thousands of years. In modern times, it has also been adopted as a secular discipline, as a way to improve physical and mental well-being. The Woodstock Meditation Chime is tuned to a scale characteristic of the musical style of southern India.
Part of the Woodstock Soloist Series, its captivating tones are enhanced by a bonus CD of original music composed specifically to harmonize with this chime's "solo" performance. Together or separately they can each be used as an aid to meditation - a sort of musical mantra - to help relax the mind and focus one's thoughts. But they can also be enjoyed at anytime, simply for their beautiful sound."

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Alex Ramirez had heard the debates over Sunday liquor sales in the city of Shepherdsville.
And, even as a new restaurant owner, he understood the concerns of the public and the councilmembers over allowing Sunday alcohol sales in the city.
But, with his new Cabo Cantina's Steaks and More now open on Cedar Grove Road at Interstate 65, Ramirez now realizes that the inability to sell alcohol on Sunday dramatically affects his business.
But councilman Scott Ellis believes he might have a way to get the pulse of the community.

My Pit bull is 6 months old and jumps on everyone and bites. Why?
By Dianna from Lubbock, TX
He's doing what all puppies do. It has nothing to do with the breed he's just being a puppy. I will suggest you try and stop this now though before he thinks it's OK. The best way to do this is to keep a leash on him at all times. When he goes to jump jerk the leash and tell him "no". Then get him to sit, when he does praise him. I find cookies work good for my guys. If you keep this up he'll start to learn that being good and sitting instead of jumping will mean cookies.
Good luck! (04/08/2010)

I have fostered three of them and they each did the same thing. I think it is just because you are his/her pack members and that is what he thinks of in his mind when he wants to rejoice and play and get all happy. The thing to do is to educate him by giving him or her new pictures in his mind to have regarding this sort of thing.
Here are some tips:
Keep soft and hard chew toys for him to have. It is best to have a chew toy to really get serious with, like a Nylabone and other softer ones he can't tear up, like plastic Coke bottles minus the plastic top. I squish them down to where they can gnaw on them. I take a kitchen towel or rag and tie it in a knot for a soft toy.
Place a toy in his mouth when he goes for an arm or a leg. He is asking to play when he grabs an arm or nips at a leg. You are supposed to give chase. Just gently place a toy in his mouth.
If he is really bad, and is awfully rough, I would grab the scruff, without picking him up off the floor and give a shake, not enough to hurt and then say "leave it" or "no". After you are done and he has looked away put him down, put the toy in it's mouth and say "yes" or "good boy" and pat him. At first when you pat him don't overexcite him and make it easier for him to learn to settle down.
I have had to pull pups that didn't start fights apart by pulling them by their back legs from the other dog.
When he jump nips towards faces, grab scruff and shake with a nasty sounding "no" that sounds like the devil is after him and act all disgusted.
It kind of depends on how his personality is. Go to leerburg.com and see if you like any of the free articles and start marker training and doing training for fun. I like to teach them to expect a treat when you click with your mouth, it is great. Then you can base further training later on with that, click with your mouth, and then drop a really small piece of hot dog or bacon or whatever, the size of a green pea or so. Do it about ten or twenty times a day, just for fun. He or she can't mess up, it is all for bonding.
leerburg.com has lots of articles and podcasts and ebooks and such for free, even though I am going to save up for the puppy training DVD because I foster a lot of animals. Click on contact by my name on this post and I will help you with any other issues that arise. I just love this breed, but their little mouths are so strong you kind of have to teach them in a hurry that something is not right without hurting their spirit. I truly believe these make the best pets in the world with the right person.
I had a "Pibble" that had never been trained. He was a "complete" stinker. My arms were bleeding the first day I had him and that was just playing, lol. What a perfect baby he was the day he went to his permanent forever home, just from the tips above and bonding through clicker training and lots of love. He was so well behaved. I was so proud.
Yours will be too! (04/08/2010)
By Robyn Fed
It may be because he is teething! Lock up everything you don't want chewed up! Tell your dog "NO", firmly, and give him a bone (bully sticks are great) instead and praise him when he chews it. All puppies teethe and chew up things because their teeth are growing in and their gums are sore. (04/10/2010)

What is JotForm?
JotForm is a free online form builder which helps you create online forms without writing a single line of code. No sign-up required.
At JotForm, we want to make sure that you're getting the online form builder help that you need. Our friendly customer support team is available 24/7.
We believe that if one user has a question, there could be more users who may have the same question. This is why many of our support forum threads are public and available to be searched and viewed. If you'd like help immediately, feel free to search for a similar question, or submit your question or concern.
For Dropbox, upload size will be upto 300MB or less but this list of upload size limits by checking Dropbox's official pages. Note that the limits may change due to their policy and the numbers below may not be fully accurate.
Please refer this guide for more information on Changing the Upload Size Limit.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
So the Free Jotform is enough for uploads to dropbox of up to 300 MB (or whatever the respective limit on dropbox is! That is great news. I was afraid I would have to buy into the bigger plan.
Thanks a lot! Great service and even better support!
Looks like Jalaludeen explained you the upload limit of DropBox.
Free accounts are entitled to 100 MB upload space. All files uploaded through the form will be first saved on our server and then a copy of that will be uploaded to your DropBox account.
So that means if you want to upload a 200 MB file, your form and your Dropbox account will accept the file but it will make your account go OVERLIMIT and your account may get disabled.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Well, that's a bummer.
So I do need to buy a plan. That sucks. Hmm, I understand servers cost money but I'd have appreciated an honest answer from the beginning.
If you create a dropbox form you get the impression 300 MB are allowed. Not a single line mentions the all important upload limit! If you want to gather pictures from your friends from a weekend an allowance of 100 MB is MUUUUCH too low.
Guess I have to find s/th else.
I will remeber this service, however, for its simplicity and ease of use for non size relevant issues.
If you think you require more upload space, you may have to upgrade your account. Free account has 100 MB upload limits.
This space limit is clearly mentioned on our pricing page.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
An alternative for you would be to integrate with Google Drive and delete the files into your free account before it max out the limit

According to commodities analyst Mintec, supplies to major Chinese markets have been limited by stricter transport regulations starting in November, limiting the truck carriage size.
This delayed lysine deliveries through November, leaving stocks in major trading regions scarce. Snowy weather conditions in the northeast regions of China have also disrupted transportation.
On the demand side, an increase in the number of pigs in China this year has fuelled feed consumption. This has caused demand for lysine to strengthen, adding further upward pressure to prices.

This totally got out of hand from my intentions but I refuse to apologize, it says crack for a reason. lol
Dean's never seen Sam look so happy, not lately anyway so when Sam snapped his fingers, got a squirming, fluffy kitten in reward and smiled like he was a kid again, well, Dean couldn't help but smile either. He leaned back in his plush leather arm chair and dug another bite out of the whole cherry pie sitting in his lap. Taking up the entire wall across from him was a giant flat screened HD TV set to surround sound and currently playing an old western that Dean followed word for word.
In one corner of the room was a five foot tall popcorn maker that looked to have come straight out of a movie theater and was merrily popping away. There was also a king sized waterbed that was utterly out of place inside a motel like this one and Sam was currently lounging on it with the kitten curled up on his chest. Surrounding him on the bed were a ton of extremely rare books and scrolls along with a serious looking, state of the art laptop that was whirring quietly on idle.
Discarded on the small motel table were two paintball guns, one green and one blue. Which explained the random blue and green splotches that spotted the walls of the motel like polka dotted wallpaper. The floor itself was covered in used plates, plastic glasses, pizza boxes from a place in Italy, burger wrappers from a White Castle three states over and emptied bowls that still bore the stains of Caesar dressing.
Overall, the motel room was a wreck but Sam and Dean couldn't be bothered to care.
"Hey, Sammy." Dean called over the sound of staged gunshots. "I'm thinking a triple stacked banana split, what say you?"
Sam paused, looking thoughtful and stroked the kitty on his stomach, "yeah, I could go for that."
Smirking, Dean snapped his fingers and a huge banana split appeared in both their hands. Sam laughed and shifted the kitten to rest on his lap as he sat up and dug into the ice cream.
The movie finished and Dean pouted, "what next Sammy? I ran out of movies to watch."
"You know what that means, Dean."
It took the elder Winchester a minute to get what his brother was hinting at. "Good idea, Sammy!" Another snap and the ending credits changed to the start of a new movie. "Can't go wrong with Zombieland."
The boys settled down again and turned all their attention to the huge television screen. About an hour into the movie Dean suddenly paused and tilted his head back to look at Sam. "Hey, you know what we should do with our new snap powers?"
"How did I know that would be what you suggested?" Sam said with an amused laugh.
"You know what they say, use what you've got Sammy!"
The youngest Winchester grew thoughtful and suddenly grinned, "dude, Dean, I've got the greatest idea!"
Dean twisted in the chair, "better then Vegas?"
"Way better then Vegas."
"Well then what? Spit it out would you?"
"Castiel and Gabriel."
As expected, after the initial moment of confusion, Dean's expression cleared and turned devious. "That's right, they don't know we've got mojo now!"
"Exactly, so what do you say we give them a few surprises?"
"I say I love how you think, Sammy!"
Both boys raised a hand and snapped, disappearing instantly though Sam was careful to leave the kitten a bowl of food behind and a litter box, just in case.
They reappeared outside a church and looked around.
"Dude, is this seriously where they've been hanging out lately?" Dean muttered, sounding disgruntled.
Sam shrugged and felt out that distinctive sense of Gabriel within the building along with Castiel. "Yeah, well, they are angels. Besides, maybe Gabriel found someone to Trick here and Castiel is helping out."
"Cas? Helping your boyfriend prank bastard-losers? Man, that would be awesome." Dean said somewhat dreamily but a little disbelievingly.
"Either way, we've got to do something to get their attention."
Dean thought about that for a moment before brightening. "Oh! I've got it!"
"What did you do?" Sam asked curiously but Dean only winked at him.
"Let's just say the people in there finally got a chance to see a 'real' miracle."
"Blood from the eyes of the statues?"
"Blood from the eyes of the statues!" Dean said gleefully.
Sam sighed and smiled softly before perking up, wind blowing hair across his nose. "Ah, they've noticed us."
"Let's book then, make them chase us." Dean suggested deviously and Sam nodded before they disappeared.
In their wake, Castiel and Gabriel appeared outside the church gates.
"Was that?" Gabriel cut himself off when Castiel nodded with puzzled frown.
"But how?" Castiel said absently and Gabriel scowled.
"What I want to know is where the idiot who gave the Winchesters the power to alter reality is so I can kick them in the ass."
"First we should find Dean and Sam before they get in trouble."
"Yeah, yeah," Gabriel muttered. "Damned Winchesters anyway."
Sam and Dean led their angels on a merry chase across the globe before they finally tired of the game and retreated back to their motel room. Dean instantly flopped into his easy chair and snapped up another whole pie, pumpkin this time. Sam followed his lead by collapsing on his waterbed and snuggling with his kitten again. The cat cuddled up to him with a happy purr and licked at the skin of his wrist with a raspy tongue.
Sam only smiled and leaned back on the bed with a contented sigh. "Here they come."
On cue there was the sound of fluttering wings and Gabriel appeared at the end of Sam's bed, Castiel behind Dean's chair. The angels looked around with something like disbelief and curiosity.
"Seriously?" Gabriel said flatly.
"Hey Cas," Dean greeted while Sam looked up at the archangel with a lifted brow.
"What?" Sam said innocently in response to Gabriel.
"You two somehow gain power almost equivalent to angels or freaking demi-gods and your idea of abusing it is waterbeds, kittens, pies, big screen TVs and a game of angelic tag?"
"Don't forget the popcorn maker!"
"And the paintball guns." Sam added after Dean.
Gabriel exchanged an exasperated look with Castiel and sighed, rolling his shoulders. "I guess we should be grateful you idiots didn't go out and try to unmake the universe or piss off some God."
Castiel gave a nod but Dean snorted, "please, we so have better class then that."
"Yeah, okay. Now who the hell had the bright idea to gift you with these powers?"
"Don't know." Sam shrugged and tickled his kitty under the chin, "we woke up this way."
"Oh really?"
Both the boy's innocent looks, not faked this time, supported that but Gabriel was no more pleased for it. Someone had literally messed with something that belonged to him. Giving Sam power like that was a fundamental change to his being and the fact Gabriel could easily undo it was besides the point. No, one way or another he'd find out what was messing with the Winchesters.
Castiel was looking at Dean in that earnest, apologetic way that said he knew what he was about to say would upset the human. "You do understand that we cannot allow you two to keep these abilities?"
"Yeah, Cas, we know." Sam said and Dean sighed heavily.
"Don't worry about that, Sam already read me the riot act about how we're messing with the balance of nature slash power slash blah blah," the elder hunter finished with a hand motion that suggested he was washing himself free of the whole matter. "Do what you must."
While the last sounded a bit dramatic, Gabriel was relieved they didn't intend to fight him on this. Looking at Castiel, Gabriel nodded and they both snapped at once, simultaneously returning their human to their natural form, aka powerless and again merely human hunters.
Sam and Dean both curiously snapped their own fingers, testing and were both at once relived to be normal and disappointed they could no longer mojo up whatever they wanted.
"Hey, look on the bright side," Gabriel said. "At least you guys can keep what you already have."
Dean looked at the TV and the popcorn machine with an expression of loss, "not that we can carry them around with us."
"Speak for yourself, Dean. I'm keeping my kitty." Sam hugged the feline closer to himself and glared at them all, daring.
Gabriel rolled his eyes, "relax, Sammy. I already said you could keep it."
"Oh, hell no man!" Dean protested, "I am not letting that peeing and pooping and shedding rat into my baby!"
Stricken, Sam stared at his brother, eyes huge and defenseless. "But, Dean..."
Dean twitched and tried to look away but Sam's eyes were too imploring and he couldn't. He struggled with himself for a few moments while Castiel and Gabriel watched, intrigued and amused respectively.
Finally the eldest broke and scowled, "alright! Fine! You can have the damned cat if it will shut you up."
If one were to read between the lines, as Sam undoubtedly did judging from his mega-watt smile, that would actually mean: "Yes, Sammy, you can have the kitten because it makes you happy and smile and I'm a sucker for your puppy eyes".
Well, they all knew what he meant anyway. Besides, Gabriel was hardly one to throw stones, those same eyes got him all the damned time.
"Anyway," Dean said a little too loudly, "anyone up for Zombieland? Sam and I didn't finish."
Gabriel perked up and plopped himself on the bed beside Sam, not resisting the urge to pet the fluffy kitten. "Oooh, I love that movie!"
Castiel, looking puzzled, turned toward Dean. "What is this Zombieland?"
"Just sit down, Cas." Dean answered patiently, "you will soon see."
To help out, Gabriel snapped his fingers and changed Dean's leather armchair into a sofa so that Castiel could cuddle up to the elder hunter. Their appreciation came in the form of not mentioning it but that was fine, the smile Sam gave him was reward enough.
Once they were settled, the movie started with only a slight angelic push and they all relaxed, angel to human.
Far, far away the one responsible for the latest fiasco in the Winchester's lives sipped from his perfect whiskey and snickered. "I just knew those chuckle heads would come in handy for a good show. Too bad though, I was expecting more death and destruction when they were playing with my gift."
The British demon shrugged and rubbed his favored Hellhound's head as he clicked off his Infernal Television, "ah well, I can't call them all now can I? I'm not God."

They're not value stocks, but instead just bad stocks, with negative stories that may only get worse. Casino operator Trump Entertainment ( TRMP) and construction-management firm Home Solutions of America ( HSOA) fall into this camp, and I continue to expect these stocks to disappoint investors in coming months. Both companies, which I've flagged as poor stock picks for several months now in the Bricks and Mortar mock portfolio, reported earnings this week. Of the two, Trump is the slightly prettier story, while Home Solutions continues to master the art of limited disclosure.

CSFF Blog Tour Day Two: The Ale Boy's Feast: How The Auralia Thread Has Impacted Me
The Ale Boy's Feast: How The Auralia Thread Has Impacted Me
Rather then focusing on just The Ale Boy's Feast this post deals with the series as a whole, of which the fourth book is indeed a part.
Jeffrey Overstreet's book series has been one of small handful of book series that over the past few years have impacted my outlook, even after I had set the book back on the shelf. The overwhelming feeling for me that came through the books and into the way I view the world is the appreciation for beauty. I also have gleaned from these books the sense that art can impact the world very powerfully. Of all the things I've learned from them it is to look for the beautiful, even in the most unlikely of places. This of course is something I have gleaned from other places besides The Auralia Thread. But among many things this book series took some of those thoughts, those passing moments of wonder when I see something beautiful, and gave it a voice. The book is clearly not an allegorical work, nor is it meant to be. But I did draw some parallels to many things, political, and yes, spiritual from the book. This I think is more from the book being in a world with characters, both of which seem alive in that world of theirs. These things are part of the fabric of the tale, not the tale in itself. They are little lights that shine out of the entirety of the book, which shines as if it were a single light composed of all these little lights of meaning and wonderment that I found within the pages of the books. Other lights I saw were themes of redemption, of forgiveness, of mercy, of grace, of love. The book series reflects my own love of art and beauty, in many ways it seems as though I am looking in a mirror rather then reading a book. Seeing myself and the world around me through the lens given me within its pages. At other times it seems as though I'm the mirror and that the wonder and the beauty of things in my own world, experiences, and imagination is reflected in the pages, and in the reading of them the things in my world become clearer, sometimes the beauty is drawn out in the words, sometimes the darkness is amplified, yet both are things that need light to shine upon them; beauty to reveal and darkness to expose. The Auralia thread has deepened my appreciation for beauty, and for the wonder of the world around me, and perhaps, part of the magic of books like these is that it is different for each person who reads it, yet it remains the same looking glass before all, reflecting what is already there within each of us, shining its own light upon us, giving us something of its own reflection back to us. That is the mark of a good book, and such is The Auralia thread.
