Update: 10/19/16 10:00 A.M.
Ellen Kullman is sticking to her guns, even if they have been holstered.
The former CEO of DuPont (dd) hinted that she thought DuPont's $60 billion deal to merge with rival Dow Chemical is a mistake, speaking Tuesday at Fortune's annual Most Powerful Women's conference, which you can watch live here. It was Kullman's first public appearance since abruptly leaving the chemical giant a little over a year ago.
Kullman didn't comment on the DuPont-Dow merger specifically, but she said that deals in which companies are put together only to be broken up—which is what is happening in the DuPont-Dow transaction—are the product of short-term thinking, and not what's best for long-term shareholders or the company.
"Break up, recombine. Break up, recombine," Kullman told Fortune's Pattie Sellers. "That doesn't create any value except for bankers and lawyers."
In December, a little over two months after Kullman left the company, DuPont and Dow (dow) announced they were doing a deal. The companies plan to briefly combine the two chemical giants, before breaking them apart again into three separate companies, along business lines. The merger, which is expected to close by the end of 2016, is the first stage in a complicated reorganization that will take years to complete, and will surely produce a lot of fees for investment bankers and lawyers.
As CEO, Kullman repeatedly said DuPont benefitted from its independence and from its multiple lines of business. Dow's CEO Andrew Liveris approached her a number of times about a combination, starting in November 2014, and again in May 2015. Kullman rebuffed the deal talk. Activist hedge fund manager Nelson Peltz—who took a large stake in DuPont back in 2013 and fought an unsuccessful proxy battle with the company in 2015—was also pushing for the company to do a deal.
(For more on DuPont's bitter proxy battle, read Fortune's feature story How DuPont Went to War with Activist Investor Nelson Peltz)
But just months after Peltz's lost his proxy battle, he indicated that he would soon launch another one for the following year. Kullman said she was surprised at how personal Peltz made the proxy fight, and saw the dynamic as a sign that it was time for her to go. "[Nelson Peltz] very much made me the issue," said Kullman. "I felt at that point and time that I was getting in the way of the future of the company."
Shortly after Kullman left, Liveris and Peltz teamed up to work out a deal with Ed Breen, who replaced Kullman as CEO. The WSJ has reported that the negotiations to combine Dow and DuPont took place at Peltz's mansion in Florida.
At Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit on Tuesday, Kullman also suggested that she was disappointed that Breen ended up doing the deal Peltz wanted.
At the time Breen was nominated along with four other board members at the height of the proxy battle with Peltz, Breen and the other nominees seemed to share Kullman's vision for DuPont, even though Peltz had tried to hire Breen, as well as another board member Jim Gallogly, as an advisor in the past. It didn't turn out that way. Kullman was asked whether in retrospect she thought nominating two board members that were allies of Peltz was a mistake.
"We didn't think [we were doing that] at the time," said Kullman. "Long story. You don't want to go there."
On why she left DuPont: "At some point when you are fighting these fights, you lose your joy a bit. And these jobs are tough. You really need your joy to get up out of bed every morning at 5 AM and do what we do. It just seemed like I was the lightning rod, and it seemed like at that point the best thing for the company was to make a change. . .We knew where this story was going. And a second proxy fight was not in the interests of employees our shareholders or anyone."
On whether women CEOs are specifically targeted by activist hedge funds: "It didn't feel like it at the time. There are a lot of tough things that women CEOs have been asked to take on, and have taken on and done phenomenally well with. If it makes us a target, that's part of life."
On the reaction inside the company when she left: "It was very humbling for me because there was a lot of outpouring from not only the women but the men at the company. Because we had been through a lot of wars together. When you go through something like that you need to have a team that you still like at three in the morning. That was the hardest part, the people part."
On Carbon 3D, a company Kullman joined the board of: "3-D printing company. There's a Ted Talk on it. It's phenomenal technology. There's a liquid polymer, and you pull the part out of the liquid based on UV light and a lot technology. It's an engineer's' dream. And it actually has the prospect of going into mid-range manufacturing quantities at a cost that is relevant. So taking 3-D printing out of prototyping and into manufacturing. I love being part of a startup. It's been a lot of fun."
Update: The story has been updated to reflect that Ellen Kullman, the former CEO of DuPont, did not comment directly on the DuPont-Dow merger, but was talking generally about activist hedge funds, and deals in which they have been involved.

Talk:Corine Land Cover 2006 Poland
From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Some areas from Urban Atlas has been imported also in Slovakia - cities Košice and Prešov. Other cities are in progress. We decided to join areas divided by road/rail landuses for all but wide roads/rails. This step is done manually in JOSM and is the most time consuming. BTW I am the only importer of the UA in Slovakia so far.
We also import landuses from Corine 2006. Areas from Urban Altas have higher priority, but we would like to use Corine to better specify land use for Urban Atlas (eg. type of trees in forests...). Borders of the land use will be of course untouched from Urban Atlas. This is still only a plan.

Kevan Hall Sport
I actually own the Yoke top golf polo dress as well as a couple of other Kevan Hall pieces. I absolutely LOVE this designer. This dress is slimming, comfortable, and extremely functional on the golf course. I even wear this dress out to lunch, with friends even when golf is not in the plans. I love wearing a "unique" designer such as Kevan Hall as so many others wear your big brands: Puma, Nike, Callaway, etc. Kevan Hall stands out in style and comfort. You can't go wrong with this designer.

But before that career choice is finalized, the 18-year-old high school graduate is taking a road trip in hopes of exploring career options.
"I'm really looking forward to knowing what I want to do when I go to college," he said. "Going into this road trip, there's so many choices that you can go into. I'm just unsure, but in these past few days that I've already been here, I've already gotten more sure about what I want to do. But being able to interview all these people who have gone through college and have jobs is just an exciting experience to see and learn from."
On Wednesday, Zavala and two other young Hoosier adults began a two-week, paid RV trip around Indiana in which they'll meet with employers to discuss career options. The first leg of their journey included a lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway before heading to Lafayette
Stops include Delphi today; Warsaw on Monday; Seymour on Tuesday; Fishers on Aug. 17 and Indianapolis on Aug. 18.
The trip is based on the long-running PBS program "Roadtrip Nation," which focuses on Americans pursuing interests and careers as well as the changing workforce. Roadtrip Indiana is the first in the nation to focus on a single state, organizers said. It's a partnership between the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and "Roadtrip Nation."
"Roadtrip Indiana will really look at several ways of making sure that students have a better understanding of the full range of career options that are available to them," said Teresa Lubbers, the state's higher education commissioner.
"Too many students, and we know this is true, actually have an opinion of manufacturing that they'll be working in a hot, dirty environment, but the reality is that, today, advanced manufacturing employees are likely to be wearing white lab coats and be skilled in robotics," she said.
Zavala, who will attend Grace College, said he hoped thousands of Hoosier teens would follow the trio's experience online at LearnMoreIndiana.org/Roadtrip.
"What I'm looking forward to is that the people who don't get the chance to go on this road trip will see my video and relate to me because there's so many people out there like me who don't get this chance. ... (They) might learn from what I'm learning," Zavala said.
He recently graduated from Western High School in Howard County. He lives with his mother, Monica, who is a teacher, and younger brother, Skylar.
Joining Zavala are Shannon Newerth, 21, of Beech Grove, and Dengke Wang, 19, of Portage. Each had to apply for the trip and send in a video explaining their goals. Zavala recorded his video in a family bathroom so he would have privacy, his mother said.
By Wednesday, the three had already spent two nights in their bright green RV.
"We're pretty comfortable I would say," said Newerth, who is studying plant science at Purdue University. "We're looking forward to the end of the trip to see how well we're going to be getting along and if we're going to be tired of being all cooped up."
Wang, a Purdue student born in China, said he had sights set on an engineering career, saying, "I'm kinda like scared about this decision I have to make so I just want to get some confidence to back up the decision I have to make about my career."

Seebik is a villain from Ben 10: Omniverse who first appeared in the episode called Hot Stretch.
Seebik has light blueish skin, purple hair, big white eyebrows and violet face and body marks. He has a large body built even for a Kraaho, he normaly wears blue winter clothes and underneath them he wears a traditional Kraaho outfit.
After Ester's father, the previous leader of the Kraaho, died, Seebik took over as the leader of their tribe.
He then turned the kraaho into thieves.
In Hot Stretch, He planned to bring magma out on Earth's crust and make it a new colony for the Kraaho but was defeated by Ben and Rook. After being defeated, he unwillingly passed the leadership of the Kraaho onto Ester.
In Special Delivery, he, alongside a few other Kraaho loyal to him were among the villains who were attempting to take the Dwarf Star from Ben. When Ben asked Seebik if Ester knew what they were doing, he replied "I hope not," implying that he was going rogue.

Published on Aug 25, 2016 Editor's Pick The Ad Council and Austin-based agency GSD&M have been quick to respond to the floods that have devastated Louisiana -- reportedly the country's worst natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The organization and agency have created this simple but compelling black-and-white film. It depicts scenes from the flood-ravaged areas, as well as victims and those participating in the recovery efforts, supported by a voice-over from actor Matthew McConaughey and music from Austin band Wiretree. The film, titled "Our Turn," directs viewers the OurTurnToHelp.org, where they can provide short or long-term donations to help those affected by the floods. According to the Ad Council, the floods have affected approximately 60,000 Louisiana homes, and more than 106,000 residents have registered for help with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "My daughter, Courtney, GSD&M and I have a special place in our hearts for the people of Louisiana," said Agency Founder Roy Spence in a statement. "We have dear friends and colleagues in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas, so when we talked with our friends and began to understand the magnitude of the damage, we had to help." "It has been heartbreaking to watch the news and hear the stories of the thousands of people in Louisiana whose homes, neighborhoods and lives have been devastated by the floods," added Ad Council CEO/President Lisa Sherman. "But in moments of tragedy, it's always inspiring to see how many people come forward to help.

When planning his birthday party and theme I went with a general monkey theme. We don't watch a lot of TV and really it's hard to tell what a 1 year old in really 'into'. My cousin Beth with Beth Kruse Custom Creations designed my party printables. I normally do this kind of thing on my own but there were just too many things going on in our lives at the time for me to add 1 more thing to my plate. She has fabulous parties so I knew I was outsourcing to someone great!
The invitation
Welcome sign
I scoured Pinterest for food inspiration and was pretty pleased with what I found.
I thought this popcorn was really good. I have a sweet tooth so it was a great treat!
You can't have a monkey party without mokney bread :) We were doing a cupcake cake as the cake so I also needed to do something in little cups so I could use the topper printables from Beth.
Safari Fruit
Just a regular old fruit and cheese tray.
Monkey Sandwiches
I saw a few different versions of this, some included Nutella but I just did the Vanilla Wafers with peanut butter and sliced banana.
Monkey Tails
White chocolate covered pretzel rods with sprinkles. I love the sweet and salty combination of these.
I picked up random blue, yellow and brown candy at Party City to fill the boxes with.
I found the hat and shirt on Etsy and for the life of me can't find the link to the shop that did them. There were a few that did them like this. Of course he wouldn't wear the hat! I was a little nervous about the shirt though. I ordered a size larger than he was based off of their sizing recommendations and then it shrunk in the dryer. It just fit him thank goodness.
The cake is from Creative Cakes and they are great. When we went in to order my husband saw a wedding cupcake tower and decided we should get cupcakes. Ok, I didn't really care. I had the invitation so they could figure out something to do based off of that and they copied the invitation onto a cupcake cake. It was great!
For the smash cake they did a different kind of frosting, I don't know what but it had less ingredients that could be potential allergens since kids that age typically haven't been exposed to some of those. That was nice that they suggested that because it wasn't something I'd thought of.
At first he didn't really know what to do with the cake. We had to show him what to do and then he dug in a little. He's not a messy eater so this is about as bad as it got.
Beth did the chalkboard sign too.

I was watching an AMV on youtube.com on One Piece. It made me think of the blogs on here that before the time skip asked who they thought would be the next crew member, what roles need to be fulfilled, if the Straw Hats will get a giant or a fishman crew member etc. It made me think- at this point, why would they need new members. Their captain has one of the highest known bounties and they're super strong as it is. Getting new crew members at this point is pointless.The Straw Hat crwe is infamous as pirates, whihc is why they have people imitaitng them (ie Demalo Black) and people joining because they are famous (ie Lip Doughty and Albion) The people in the new world will only be pirates who already have a crew, and its unlikely that there are few civilians in a place known as Pirates Graveyard. I don't know but let me know what you think. :)
Oh and also- ONE PIECE ROCKS

TORONTO, March 30 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday after posting its highest close in one month the day before, pressured by losses for the energy group even as oil prices rose.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 15.57 points, or 0.10 percent, at 15,642.06, shortly after the open. Just four of the index's 10 main groups were lower. (Reporting by Fergal Smith)

Overall though, I'm a very caring guy and do what I can for those that I like and trust. I love having a good time with just about anyone, and enjoy going out to do things.
I'm very much into video games, mostly on the computer and on the xbox. I prefer multi player games over single player things, so if there was ever a game you'd want to play along side me, I'm open to hear it. Just ask for usernames and I'll be more than willing to share them.
On the PC, currently I'm into Guild Wars 2, World of Tanks, Borderlands, and a few other little games. On the xbox, I'm currently working on Halo 4, though that I prefer to ether do co-op or single player.
Don't ask me about any Call of Duty game, as I don't look to fondly upon them. Yes, my steam account has a huge chunk of hours in MW2, but even then I really didn't enjoy the game to much.
I'm still a bit of a geek with collectible card games. Currently I'm playing Magic: The Gathering, and also the Pokemon trading card game. I'm not that hard core into them, but I do really enjoy playing the games, and collecting the Pokemon cards.
I really love the Japanese style of art known as Anime or Manga. There are quite a few anime movies and shows that I love to watch and enjoy. Sadly, as I'm not the best of readers, I don't read Manga's very often. Like everything else, just send me a note if you'd want to know more. Not really sure what to put in here for this xD;
I'll probably change this and make it longer as I know more of what to put here... for now, this is what it is xD
Sort of good at figuring out how an RPG MMO works, and how to make money somewhat quickly.
Movies... there are way to many to list... So I prefer Comedies, action, and syfi/fantasy type of movies and shows, and also a good amount of Anime movies. Oh, and can't forget Monty Python's movies~ <3
TV shows... I don't usually follow. Currently though I'm watching "The walking dead" on netflix, and absolutely loving it. Besides that... I really couldn't tell you. I'm really not a TV person.
Music is all over the place. I really couldn't name off most of the artists that I listen to, as I simply like the song, find it online somewhere or get it from a friend. Currently though, I do like Deadmau5, and Daft Punk... have always liked Daft Punk, and recently came across Deadmau5.
Food... I love it way to much. Pretty much anything with red meat I love, as I don't normally get it living at home, and also pork. Besides that... there's really to many foods that I like in one way or another. There are a few foods I'm rather... strange, about... Like I don't like Mashed potato's or baked potato's... but I love anything and everything made out of them. Strange, right?
- Friends and family
- Laughter
- Video games
- Being a bit geeky
- and a few kinks that I know I probably couldn't live without.
Also, sadly like most younger people it seems, I'm still living at home with my parents.
And also, I feel that some of the "Personality" I was given on here is incorrect, simply because some of the questions don't have the right answers.
I'm not usually one to start a message, as I tend to be shy. Feel free to message me though even if you don't seem to fill "What I'm looking for", I love to chat and make new friends regardless~!

Life is like a game of pai sho. After it finishes, the most valuable tiles are put in the same box as the least valuable ones.
Iroh of the Fire Nation, The Analysis of a Pai Sho Game
As it is commonly known, the pai sho board is circular — just like human life. After all, the fact that it's split into eight coloured parts is not coincidental. The cycle of each year consists of eight elements as well: germination and maturation, flowering and withering; furthermore, two solstices, a winter one and a summer one, and also two equinoxes during spring and autumn. By design, pai sho reflects the scheme of nature and life. The goal and rules are similar, too — even a beginner understands that players are to relocate tiles in order to put them into specific relations called harmonies. Jasmine's in harmony with Lily and Rhododendron, but it doesn't go well with Rose. Rose, on the other hand, likes White Jade and Chrysanthemum. And so on. Participants have to manage all of their fifty-four tiles and understand how they interact with each other. They must be aware of tiles' advantages and flaws, skills and lacks, affinities and fears. They must be able to manipulate them, fit them into a wider, bigger plan, and have the guts to sacrifice them when it's required. Yes, pai sho resembles life a lot... However, it's just an innocent amusement, so there's no need to be scared.
Now — let the game begin.
"He cannot be released."
"He can. And he will."
"He almost killed you. And you are the one to give him his freedom back. There is a word for that, I think... Oh, yes, it is called 'irony'."
"I don't care about irony. I need him alive, freed and working."
"No, my friend. The thing you need is a permission of the Council."
"And that's why we're talking. That's why you're here."
"I am here to understand. And I am failing to do so, although I must say I am striving."
"Understand what? I want him to manufacture new equipment for the army, I told you."
"As far as I know, everyone else could do it, too. What's wrong, General? What's bothering you?"
Iroh stood up and turned around. Saying nothing for a moment, he started to stare at the dark, metallic walls of the chamber in which they were. Tenzin ensconced himself on his chair.
"We had a... situation."
"It had all begun, when I, Miss Sato and Bolin had been imprisoned at the Equalists' airbase. Before the takeoff, I had overheard a conversation; the engineers had had to fix a few engine flaws and hence look at the blueprints of the plane. I must admit I'd had better things to do for the time being, figuring out a way to free us, for instance, but I remember them talking about it. But when we later examined the base, there were no sign of any blueprints. Moreover, we didn't find any engineer who hadn't been defeated by Miss Sato and Bolin in the fight. They just... disappeared."
"And you fear—"
"—that the Equalists have hidden somewhere and might still be a danger. Yes. They went underground — into the shadows; that's their style."
"I see. In this case, he would be a bait, wouldn't he?"
"I've been working to develop a net of informants and plants for a few months now. I think we're ready for some action. But we need him to go outside of the prison, and count that he'll lead us to the rest of them. Their leader might be gone, but he's just one man. I want the whole organisation as my trophy."
"Does our prisoner know?"
"I don't think so. He probably believes his 'powerful friends' bribed me to release him. Pathetic."
"Thank you for a clarification, General. So... it seems we are spies now. Interesting."
Iroh's eyes narrowed. "What makes you think so?"
"You may not recognize it, my friend, but you've been building a germ of a secret police. Is Lin aware of our actions?" Iroh noticed how the airbender had quickly started to refer to his plan as ours.
"Beifong? No, she isn't."
"It should stay this way." Tenzin paused. "Now, could I speak with our prisoner for a moment?"
Iroh left the room for a few minutes, made appropriate orders, then came back. Soon after guards hauled the prisoner.
"Leave us." Tenzin's voice seemed casual and easy-going but he didn't let the prisoner out of his sight. "You too, General. Please." Iroh was reluctant, but eventually went out. He was a soldier, and soldiers know when to listen to orders. Hence, the door was closed.
However, Iroh didn't like the situation. Tenzin was a politician, looking for his own benefits, he knew it. After Amon's revolution he and his soldiers had billeted in the headquarters of the police, but it hadn't been due to the airbender's hospitality. The rest of the Council had been afraid about the possibility of further riots, and also the Avatar and her friends — especially Bolin and Miss Sato, who had fought alongside Iroh in the battle of Republic City — had made it possible for the United Forces to stay in the headquarters. Beifong had been resistant, but had eventually agreed. Iroh quickly got to know that she didn't like to give away control. She was a lot like him: tough, uncompromising and straightforward. But Tenzin — Tenzin was different. Iroh never knew what the airbender's thoughts and plots were this time or another. And he didn't want to be a puppet in his hands; he was a member of the royal family of the Fire Nation, wasn't he?
Suddenly, the door opened and Iroh could hear a dialogue.
"I've heard a lot about your famous diplomacy skills, Councilman, but they seem to be gone now. Am I not worthy enough to treat me like an equal player?"
Tenzin remained calm, but Iroh was sure he had noticed the pun. "You lost a long time ago."
"But I still hope for a rematch," the second voice answered. "And I want you to remember it."
"Hope is generally a good thing. If you can afford it."
"Oh, sure I can. I could buy your little island." A pause. "As I mentioned before, I'm thinking of throwing a feast in a few days. Hoped you come over."
"No, thank you. I have better things to do. On my little island, of course."
"Pity." Hiroshi Sato went silent for a second. "Others will."
And he left the cell. He looked weary, his prison clothes creased, and he had bags under his eyes; but as he got certain he was really free for the first time since the revolution, they started to sparkle with the old pride. Iroh knew Sato had had himself a limousine for the depart, because everything had been arranged before, and the only thing left had been Tenzin's acquiescence.
"You simply can't deny yourself playing those little games of yours, can you?" asked Iroh, when Tenzin joined him again a few minutes later. They were both watching Sato — as he was leaving the prison — through the windows of the headquarters.
The councilman laughed under his breath. "Oh, let the old airbender have some joy in his ascetic life. I am sure Hiroshi will dance as we want him to."
Iroh didn't comment.
"Bolin! Is that you, Bolin?"
He turned around, but he didn't see anyone familiar between the crowd wandering nearby the Fire Lord Zuko's monument. There were a lot of people at Central City Station, everyone minding their own business, and they were jostling Boling while he was straining to see the person who had shouted his name. Finally, he caught a sight of a man who was waving at him. Bolin recognized him quickly; it was Faan Dou, a former pro-bending athlete, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
"Mister Dou!"
"Hey, kid, it's been a while, eh? I haven't seen you since... since you were trying to hit those tins on the playground with earthbending, pretending they were your opponents on the arena, and, damn, you were like seven back then...? Whatcha doin' now, son?"
"Oh, you know." Bolin grinned. "Knocking my opponents out on the arena and stuff. But this time the arena's a real one."
Faan slapped his forehead. "Yeah, right, right, what a question was that, what else could you do?"
"And you, Mister Dou?"
"Just call me Faan."
"Well, Faan, what about you?"
"What 'bout me...? I've just visited an old friend of mine. He's in a hospital. A coma. Sleepin' for two weeks, and no sign of improvement. By the spirits, that was tough, boy. A man can't do anythin'; he's only able to watch and try not to cry."
"I realise. But besides that? How you doing?"
"Huh. How am I doin'? You really wanna know?"
"Yeah! Sure, why not."
"So, let's have a drink. On me. But first we go somewhere quieter, man. Then we talk."
Faan Dou had been a wunderkind of pro-bending, when Bolin had been a child. He was the youngest player ever to make it to the tournament at the age of fifteen, playing as a waterbender in the Ethalet Athletics team. He had the slightest stroke of water jets in the history of the game, according to a hell of a lot of opinions. Dou performed very intelligent on the field and it was his feather in the cap. He didn't strike hard; he struck where the opponent's stance was the weakest. It seemed obvious now, after all these years, but back then it'd been a radical revolution on the idea of waterbenders' role in the game.
The years of Dou's career had been also the last years of Bolin having a real family. He remembered how he and Mako had listened carefully to the radio during Faan's matches. Their faces almost sweaty from an intense focus, they'd been lying on the floor and supporting the Athletics on their way to win the championship. They stayed in that position long after the games had finished, chattering about how Lee, the firebender of the A's, could have performed another hat trick but missed once and failed to do so, or when the current streak of impressive wins would have finally had to end. And after an hour or two, their dad was picking them up. "Let's do some pro-bending, lads," he was grinning, speaking exactly the same way the announcer at the arena had spoken, lengthening syllables and pointing his finger to the imaginary crowd. "Areeee yaaaaa reeeeaaady to smash your old man, guys? Here, in the left corner — Maaaaakooooo. In the right corner — Boooooliiiiiin. Let's rumble, boys!"
And they were playing for the whole evening.
Let's rumble... Yeah... Those were good ol' days.
Dou had been their neighbor, and though he was a few years older, he knew their faces, 'cause they'd been the biggest fans of the A's hereabouts, and he'd seemed prone to admiration. No, he had never showed arrogance; raised in a poor family, he'd always been a simple and straightforward guy. He'd just wanted to be someone; to mean something. He didn't care about money, because there weren't any; pro-bending had been an amateur sport back then. It was his passion.
But life — real life — is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
Faan's impressive career ended when his father had died. Bolin recalled that event; it'd happened shortly before his own family had been definitively destroyed. Dou's dad was a non-bender working as a lumberjack. It was very prosaic; a tree had fallen on him. One day, he's there in their shared backyard, laughing and saying that Bolin's made a massive progress in his pro-bending technique and could join Faan in the A's team one day, and the other day he's dead, lying in a coffin, his face snow-white. Dou's mother had been a healer; she couldn't have found a suitable job, so she had worked as a nurse. She had two sons and two daughters to feed, her salary low... so Faan did what he had to do. He gave up pro-bending and found a real job.
After the death of their parents, Bolin and Mako had seen him only once. It was raining that day; Dou was sitting on stairs in front of the tenement he lived in. His eyes absent and glazed, his face all wet, he was juggling a sphere of water and listening to a loud audition of a pro-bending match. His dreams were over. He had been probably the best athlete of Republic City and just a week later, he was nothing. Just like that; it was so prosaic. Lights out. Fans gained new heroes. No one cared.
"So, that's the place."
It was a sleazy, empty pub. They sat by the counter.
"I'll be honest with you," Faan reopened the topic. "I'm building a team."
Bolin did his best to be gentle. "Aren't you a little too... old?"
"A professional team, Bolin. The refreshed Athletics. The new chairman, who had bought the club, appointed me as the manager."
"It means—"
"—that soon pro-bending won't be an amateur sport anymore. Exactly. The game's changing. We're changing it. And we can change it together."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm looking for athletes. The best in here. I've been watching you play, Bolin. You're good. Damn good, I'd say."
"So, the whole 'whatcha doin', son' thing was a small talk?"
"Kinda, that's right. Don't look at me like that, you know the deal. It's not a small talk now. I'm here, because I think we can both make profit. That's what they pay me for." He paused. "Listen to me, such an opportunity happens once a lifetime. You have to take it, otherwise you won't even know when it's gone." He frowned. "Forever."
"I don't have to do anything."
"Kid, life ain't that easy. I'm giving you an option of doing what you love and being paid for it."
Bolin had mixed feelings. "But hey, I'm already in a team. The Fire Ferrets, you remem—"
"The case is simple. You can stay where you are, makin' no progress and playin' in your little playground. Or you can take it to the next level. It's no longer a children's game, Bolin. Not anymore. It's time to grow up."
Bolin went silent for a moment. "I... I don't... But what about my team mates?"
"I have a free spot for a firebender, if that's what you're askin'. Your brother fits my vision, I'm okay with him. And 'bout the Avatar... I'm sure she has her own business to take care of."
"I don't know..."
"Listen up, boy." Dou's voice quivered a little. It wasn't the guy who had been sitting in front of his house in the rain, devastated and depressed. Faan eyes were now full of excitement and passion; he really believed in what he had been saying. "My chairman is a real visionary, but all he sees is money. For him, it's the amount of sold tickets, hot-dogs, t-shirts and gifts that matters. He wants to keep fans happy, because only then they buy tickets, hot-dogs, t-shirts and bloody damn gifts, and only then he has money to afford our salaries. As you good damn know, fans are happy when they have fun, and they have fun when they watch you playing out there, working your damn guts out to satisfy them, like pets. But you and I... we're players, both of us. And we're different. We know it doesn't mean anythin'. That it's not the point of pro-bending."
"But... what's the point? I don't—"
"You know it, boy. Look inside yourself. The question is, who you wanna be? A little ferret in the company of lions, forgotten a day after you'll leave the arena? Or do you want to do something that matters? Change the game? Rumble things up?"
Let's rumble, boys...!
"I'll give ya time to think it through." Faan stood up. "But you should know that I want you on my team. And I want you badly." After that, he left.
Bolin remained alone. His face baffled, he was still sitting by the counter, turning his back to the door. He didn't move for a long time. Areeee yaaaaa reeeeaaady, guys...?
Yeah, dad. Are we?
"So, Korra... how's your practice?"
"Exactly how it looks. Awful! I'm so pissed off!"
"Yeah... you are... I guess."
"I can't get this right! This air sphere is supposed to swirl, and I should stand on it, so it would move in the direction I want. That's what Tenzin said."
"It's swirling. You got the swirling part right. That's good."
"You know what I'm talking about, Mako! And you know how it looks when Tenzin's kids do it!"
"Yeah... they're running around like madmen."
"Exactly! I won't be surprised if Rohan will soon start to do it, too. But I cannot."
"It will come to you."
"Don't annoy me. That's what Tenzin says."
"He's a wise guy."
"I will figure it out myself, okay? I can handle it. Let's try this one more time."
"Just don't go too hard—"
"Korra! Are you okay? You fell—"
"I know I fell, you don't have to tell me!"
"Your ankle looks hurt."
"I don't care about my ankle! This stupid sphere is driving me mad!"
"I think you should rest a little. There is such a thing as overtraining."
"Don't tell me what to do! And I'm not overtraining!"
"Okay, okay. Can I glimpse at your ankle at least? It looks twisted to me."
"The ankle's fine!"
"Show it. I wanna take a look. A pro-bending player can tell somethin' about injuries."
"I'm a healer, Mako! I don't need your help. Really."
"I just wanted to—"
"I know. I know. But you don't have to. I'm good."
"Okay. If you don't want me to care, I won't."
"What does it mean, huh?"
A silence. A long, awkward one.
"Well... ekhm... how's... how's Bolin...?"
"I didn't see him on our pro-bending practice yesterday."
"I don't know where he was."
"You don't know?"
"Yes, I don't know."
"But you always know where he's going and what he's up to."
"Oh, if you know us so well, maybe you will tell me where he was! C'mon! Feel free!"
"Oh, you know what? Stop acting like a resentful princess!"
"I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
He didn't answer.
"I have.... I have some airbending stuff to do in the temple."
"I know it's good."
"Glad we both know. I gotta go now."
She wanted to tell him something else, but didn't find proper words. Soon after, they both left.
Furious, Mako went straight to the ferry. Everything was getting so messed up; firstly, Bolin had got his childish hump, and now Korra... He'd only wanted to help; he cared about her, didn't she see that...? And Bolin... Mako was trying to protect him his whole life and that's how his brother repaid him... What had been he thinking? He came to me and started talking about that Dou and his pro-bending vision... He was so excited — like always — and also so naive — like always... Mako left the airbending training site, and, intending to pass by the temple and not to meet Korra again, headed directly for the island's small harbour. And he told me that Dou's going to create a professional team. And I told him, "Bolin, it ain't that simple, it doesn't work that way..." Mako remembered the view of Bolin's face when he'd said that. His eyes had narrowed, his lips had pursed, and he'd asked, "How is that not simple? It's very simple. Fans pay for the tickets, the chairman pay for the best players, so fans would be happy, and if they're happy, they will buy more tickets. And everyone's happy." And I'm telling him, "Bolin, I've heard that the Wolfbats wanted to sign a professional contract a few weeks ago, and you know what? They have no control over their own team right now; they were played on." Bolin had quickly replied that Faan was different, and Mako had had no idea what he had been talking about. "I have no idea?! Let's say we're gonna go pro! And then what? Look at your Faan! Just look and him! And think how quickly athletes' careers end! Yes, Bolin! We end up having no money, no job, no education. I want something more for us; something better! Pro-bending is good as a hobby. But we have to stick to real jobs. Real future!" Bolin had gone silent, but his face had been getting red quickly. "Besides," Mako had calmed down a little, "there's no contract offer to speak of. You didn't say anything about Dou offering us to play for him, did you?"
Bolin had seemed to hesitate, but it'd been only for a moment.
"No." His face had been fierce again and his words angry. "I didn't."
And he'd slammed the door, leaving the room. He hadn't showed up for the whole evening.
"Hard day, eh?"
It was a young air acolyte. Mako glanced at him. His eyes definitely weary — but curious and cautious — his skin non-tattooed and his body rather fly-weight, he was standing by the ferry, evidently waiting for the depart.
"Yeah, kinda," replied Mako reluctantly. "Do I know you?"
"No." He smiled. That smile, thought Mako. It's... weird. "You don't know me. Huh, I believe I should say something nice now. Something comforting. Like 'it'll get better' or that 'you don't have to worry'. But, you see, man, the problem is — it won't."
Mako scowled and entered the ship, baffled. "Who are you?"
The air acolyte ignored his question and stayed on the pier. "It won't get any better. It never gets."
"Are you nut—"
"Koeni. Koeni's the name."
"Stop toying with me." Mako frowned. "Tell me what you want and just get the hell outta here. I'm busy."
"Busy doing what? The ferry's sailing off. And you're just standing here, on the deck, staring at me furiously because you don't understand me." His smile became even wider. "You don't understand a lot of things."
"You clearly want to get into trouble, man," threatened Mako. That guy started to annoy him. He was seriously regretting that the ferry was about to leave; he would show him a few firebending tricks.
"Oh, I do not, really," the air acolyte laughed like Mako would have cracked a good joke. "I used to, but that's why I came here. To stop that. Listen, I'll give you some advice."
"I don't need—"
"You do. And here it is. Just stop acting like a resentful princess. Try to understand."
The ferry set sail.
Mako, his eyes narrowed, wanted to know how this guy found out about the argument. "How the—"
"A nice chat we're having, but I think it ends now." The air acolyte's tired eyes shone with a little bit of humour. Suddenly, Mako realized why his smile seemed weird to him. His mouth was smiling nearly all the time, but his eyes — his eyes were dark and grim. A distance between the ferry and the island started to grow, and now the air acolyte had to shout. "I hope we meet again... Mako!"
"Asami. Long time no see."
"Mister Meiyou. It's a pleasure."
"Meiyou... Your father used to call me just Zuzhou. But I guess my surname is more appropriate now. You're not very welcome here lately."
"It's not—"
"Fair, I'd say."
"Maybe. But we both know why it can't be otherwise. Things are different now. You're not the cute, little girl who used to hide behind her father's door, overhearing his conversations, your eyes shining with excitement. Not anymore. You've made your own choices."
"As have my father."
"Yes... Hiroshi, eh, he should how been more... look, never mind. I cannot say I don't understand him. But what I can say is that I don't understand you."
"There's nothing to understand."
"Oh, no, no, there is, I assure you. Think about it. I wonder how does it feel to be the second for the first time in your life, for instance?"
"I... I'm not sure I get your point."
"I'll be honest and straightforward, then. You are an only child. Your father coddled you, maybe he didn't spoil you, but he coddled you, for sure; you were an apple in his eyes since your mother had died. He did everything he could to please you. But now, as you said yourself, things are different."
"My childhood doesn't matter. That's not why I came here."
"I remember a scene, you know. It took place at least ten years ago. You and some kids—"
"I don't see any connection to the matter."
"But I do. So, you and a few friends of yours were having fun in the playground, while your father and I were discussing some business stuff. What was it... oh, I recall now. We had a problem with the new Satomobile. Customers had been reporting that the engines had been overheating sometimes, nothing really serious, but they overreacted, the press got it very quickly and that idiot Lau Gan-Lan was to release his first Cabbage Car the next week... Anyway, while we were talking, I remember I was watching you play with the other kids. And guess what?"
A sigh. "I have no idea."
"You were the one to choose a game. You were the one to speak first and last. You were the one to manage and organize. You were a leader. You've always been a leader type of a person. You were taught to take care of yourself. And this is why I wonder how did it happened that you had agreed to become a puppet in their hands."
"Their hands?"
"The Avatar's and her bald buddy's, of course."
"They're my friends."
"Yeah. Sure. If that's what you want to think." An ironic grimace. "So, tell me why you're here. Go ahead. I'm all ears."
"I want your support."
"It seems there will be another Council seat to take. A non-bender one. And I want it."
"You want it?"
"As you said yourself. I've always been a leader type of a person."
"You want it? Not your 'friend' Tenzin?"
"Both of us, I think."
"And that's why he sent you here."
"No. That's why I came here."
"I see. What an irony."
"Future Industries were founded by Hiroshi Sato. And now, many years after he made me his assistant, I am the interim chief executive officer of the company, the founder's in jail, and his daughter asks me to support her case. Yes, things are different now, for sure."
"It's a time for new leaders to rise. Yesterday, they didn't even think they will have a chance. Now, they have to deal with the new reality. And you are one of them, Zuzhou. Just like me."
"Oooh, do you really think that the airbender has a nice role for me in his government of marionettes?"
"No. But I have, in my government of a free city. It's my turn to be clear and straightforward, so listen carefully. The revolution has changed a lot of things. One of them is the situation of Future Industries. Everything my father did, every deadly machine he built... it's not only bad press. He bombed the city—"
"Not literally. It was Amon."
"It's the same. People died because of him. It's not something shareholders would have liked, is it? I read a paper yesterday, and guess what? It said Future Industries stock had dropped once again. Once again. And it's been going down for months. Moreover, since my father's in jail, you're the one who's responsible for it, even though you didn't do anything bad. I guess the board of directors isn't very impressed with your crisis management skills. Let's face the truth. You're wealthy and you have powerful friends that I want to use. You may act confident, while talking to a teenager, but the fact is, you're fighting for survival."
"Those are very strong words."
"Just truth."
"You think so?"
"The company needs redemption, hence you need redemption. I'm willing to give it to you."
"So, that's the deal?"
"Yes. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. It's that simple."
"I must admit, you're getting good at this, child. Maybe even as good as your father. Yet, you have a lot to learn. I'm afraid I must refuse."
"What...? Why? The company—"
"I don't care about the company. It may fall, it may rise, I don't give a damn about it!"
"What is it, then?"
"Two names. Guess."
"Korra... and Tenzin?"
"Exactly! The current Avatar and the previous Avatar's son! I will never do what they want! Not in this or her previous lifetime!"
"Previous lifetime? You mean... you mean Avatar Aang? Did he do something to you?"
"You don't think I will make confessions to a girl like you, do you?"
"But that's just plainly ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous? Ridiculous?!"
"Listen, I don't care what it was! But so many years have passed! Aang's dead!"
"But she isn't!"
"So what, you want her to die, too?"
An awkward silence fell.
"By the spirits, Zuzhou... You're... I just don't—"
"You don't...? You don't what? Let me tell you something. I don't care what you do or do not! I don't give a damn about it!" He paused. "Do you remember what happened when your mother died?"
"Don't bring her into this. Just don't."
"The day you overheard me and your father?"
"Go ahead, speak yourself."
"Then you won't understand me."
"I was... I was curious... and little... that's all... And he had left the door opened... I was just coming by and... I heard someone crying. It was a long, miserable moan. So I peeked, everybody would have. I saw my father and you... You were sitting in a chair, your back turned to me... And he... he was sitting behind the desk. He had hidden his face in his hands, but I knew it was him who was crying. I had never seen him crying before. I don't know how he had acted in the morgue, I've never thought of that... But at the funeral... a week later... he didn't cry... his face was pale, weary and... somewhat decisive, but he didn't... And in the office that day he looked... broken."
"He was broken."
"And then... then you leant over and said—"
"Yes. What did I say?"
"You asked him, 'Remember how he took her away from me? The Avatar, benders, triads... They're all the same'. I didn't understand any of it back then—"
"That's not everything."
"No, it's not... You paused and you said 'One day we'll have our revenge. I promise.' And then... then you turned around... and saw me behind the door. I got scared. So I ran away."
"That's it. That's why I won't help you. Your father had his chance for revenge, but he rushed it and failed. But he was always hot-blooded. I will settle for a small victory like this. I'll smile when you, that damned Avatar and even more damned airbender lose, all three of you."
"I guess the conversation's over, then."
He didn't deny it, still smirking. She left the office immediately.
"Miss Sato? Miss Sato, is that you?"
"Yes... But who are you?"
"My name's Beiphan. I'm one of Zuzhou's assistants."
"And why are you—"
He lowered his voice. "Tenzin sent me."
"Oh. I see."
"Let's go somewhere more convenient. Meanwhile... How did it go with Zuzhou?"
"Just bad or a very bad kind of bad?"
"A catastrophic kind of bad, I'd say."
"Yeah. The airbender expected it."
"He expected it? So why am I even here?"
"Because you have to talk to me."
"You? You're just an assistant; you can't do anything. We've lost Zuzhou."
"No, not really."
"Yes, really!"
"You think so. All of you, well-born people, are the same. You always underestimate everyone else." He smiled awfully. "I want to remind you, my pretty lady, that you have just screwed up the meeting with Zuzhou, not me... I have my own methods. Okay, stop here, it's a good place to talk."
"You tell me. I require an incentive to cooperate."
"How about a dinner?"
"You and me? That's funny. Really funny. Just do what Tenzin told you to do. And then go away."
His eyes shone odiously for a moment. "You see? You don't even consider me equal. Oh, I know you so well, every damn one of you. That's why you're so easy to fool."
"Just skip the hateful part."
He seemed to have different opinion on this, but then he didn't continue the topic. "Zuzhou relies on my judgement. He went personal on you, but he'll settle down sooner or later, and then he'll ask me and the other assistants about our view on the case. He's a businessman first, remember that. But when the time comes, I'll have to give him something. Something that will make him profitable. It depends on you what it'll be."
"Do something. You're Tenzin's spy. That's what you do for a living; cheat on people."
"Look at yourself, doll." He frowned hatefully. "You despise everyone you can. Everyone's a tool to you. You think you're so special...? You're not. You have to earn what you want just like everyone else."
"Slow down. I had an offer for him — my shares — but he didn't even let me mention it."
"Good, because that would be an idiotic offer. He doesn't really need your shares; he's in control of the company and he's had no competition since the old Sato's in jail. Maybe if Hiroshi wasn't... Anyway, Zuzhou's the CEO now; the 'interim' part is only a temporary façade. What Zuzhou really needs, is revenue and profit of the company. He wants new products and innovations to show investors that we haven't lost Sato's magic touch."
"I might... I might have something like that."
"Go ahead."
"I have them in my bag. Look..."
"These are... These are the schemes of the Sato's airplane."
"Does the airbender know?"
"How you got them...?"
"It's my business. You'll take care of your part of the deal, won't you?"
"I will."
She said nothing in return and headed for the exit. Beiphan, his face covered with shadows, stayed in the corner for a while, watching her leave.
The darkness lay down on the streets of Republic City.
Bumi, his wild hair ruffled by the evening wind which was dancing over the waters of Yue Bay, walked out of the ferry. The harbour seemed abandoned as the day had ended and workers, tired and overworked, had returned home to their beloved families: children and wives, who had prepared them a hot supper — or hadn't, if they were short on money, which happened very often. Bumi, who — unlike Tenzin — was a very earthy person and didn't like to engage in any exalted stuff, quickly saw injustice of the city. He remembered how he — a naive, idealistic teenager, who had a forceful need of being remarkable as his older sister and parents, the only non-bender in a family of bending prodigies — had joined the navy to prevent such things from happening; he'd believed the United Forces and the Republic could guide the world into an era of prosperity and peace, in which people would be happy again. The reality, however, quickly turned out to be very brutal. The economic inequality — as well as the bending one — seemed to be a strict rule of life.
The only solution was to let go and live like you're going to die any second. It didn't matter that way if your wealthy or not. His father taught him that.
Bumi left the harbour soon after and made for the downtown, which was still awake. He went straight to the florist's, whistling joyfully; however, the shop was already closed. Having looked around carefully, he noticed that there was a flat above the shop and the lights were on, so he started to knock loudly. A minute passed and nothing happened, but he didn't give up, hence soon he could hear a few quick steps and angry curses behind the wall. An old man wearing a frayed nightcap opened the door little bit, creating a narrow slit, and exposed his head with hesitation.
"What?" he snarled, his skin wrinkly and pulled loose. "Can't he read, a stupid youngster? It says 'closed'. Closed! So what does he want?"
"A bouquet." Bumi grinned widely, exposing his teeth. "And I'll pay you double."
He always treated money rather carelessly. That was his nature: he didn't care about wealth; he treated everybody's possessions as toys to play with; he easily made new friendships, almost as easily as new enemies; he easily forgot and forgave. He also subconsciously expected everyone to do the same; however, they did not always appear to be so easy-going. Let's take Tenzin, for instance. His brother didn't seem to like him and Lin — Tenzin's ex-girlfriend — hooking up. Bumi, on the other hand, thought of it as a funny twist of life's plot.
He left the shop after the old man, whose eyes had become as rounded as two golden pieces when he had scented money, had given him a fine bouquet of flowers. Among all the kinds of beautiful plants, it contained a single panda lily flower, the most pretty flower in the world in the opinion of many. Bumi knew that Lin seemed to hate such gifts; she considered them plainly stupid and shallow. He also knew that she knew that he would buy it for her anyway. That was like him. He couldn't help that.
He knew he had some time left to the date, so he didn't hurry. Last time they had met, he'd been late — a rather usual thing for him, a carefree spirit — and she'd dressed him down like only Lin Beifong could have done it. He wanted to be timely now. They chose a cosy restaurant placed in the downtown, but in a somewhat distance from the most crowded part.
Bumi entered a narrow, long alley.
A quiet one. There was no sound, but he could swear he had heard a few laughs in the pub nearby just a second ago. The alley kept silent. But something inside — something inside was whispering to him...
A dark one. There was no light, but he remembered that he had passed by a lantern. He caught a glimpse of a sight of two luminous points in the background, but they quickly disappeared.
A scary one. He saw the danger, yet... he walked along the enchanted way.
After a few steps, on a quiet street where old ghosts meet, he saw — a creature.
A creature made of shadows. The contours of it nearly blended in to the darkened environment.
He had no time to react. He only managed to shout. And then — it attacked.
It attacked.
It attacked.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2014 (1258 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Other than a little old-fashioned wind chill, this year's edition of the Power Smart Manitoba Games are running like clockwork in Morden, Winkler and the R.M. of Stanley.
Phase II of the Games competitions got underway Thursday, including female hockey, mixed and Special Olympics curling, badminton, figure skating, table tennis and wrestling.
"I'd say things have been going smoothly with each day's schedule," Games co-ordinator Jordan Driedger of Winkler said on Thursday. "We had the cross-country skiing event earlier in the week pushed back to better weather late in the day, so we could avoid the harshness of weather early in the day.
"Now all our venues are inside and the roads are good enough that we're doing fine."
The Games will wrap up Saturday with the closing ceremony at 2:30 p.m. at the Access Events Centre at the Morden Arena.
"On our turnaround day, we had a few delays with buses going slower but all the athletes for Phase II got here and everyone's in a good mood," Driedger said. "Locally, the buses have not had any issues at all."
"Wednesday, we knew that would be the busiest day here. The next issue is getting all the athletes home safely. Once they're here, the food, transportation, the events, that all goes smoothly. The tricky part is getting all the kids on the right bus with the right luggage, getting them to the closing ceremony and then home.
"But we've had some practice now and we'll be putting that to good use."
Driedger said the organizing committee has been thrilled with the community response to the Games, including reaching a volunteer force of about 1,000 earlier this week.
"We're very pleased with how this turned out," he said. "We relied a lot on the communities and the people here to help us out, including the community for some financial support and the people for their time.
"It was a large undertaking with lots and lots of planning and plenty of work to pull off the Games."
Sport Manitoba CEO Jeff Hnatiuk has been in attendance this week and said Thursday execution has been a strength this year.
"I had the chance to be out there for the first couple of days and things are going very well," Hnatiuk said. "Things are very well organized, the host group has done a tremendous job.
"Between the communities of Winkler and Morden, there are some pretty good facilities out there so from that perspective, we're pleased."
Hnatiuk also said the Games are living up to their evolving reputation as a solid building block for athletic excellence in the province's athletes down the road.
"A lot of sport governing bodies are using them as a significant stepping stone to identifying athletes for provincial team programs, Canada Games programs and beyond," he said. "So we really are in a number of sports getting the best of the best kids from around Manitoba in their age groups together for these Games."
He said WHL and MJHL scouts have been watching boys' hockey, female hockey program recruiters are watching girls' games and Canada Games coaches in several sports -- looking ahead to the 2015 Games in Prince George, B.C. -- are also keeping tabs on potential players.
"We'd hope this kind of multi-games experience provides young kids with experience on the ice or playing field but the fact they're in an athletes village kind of setting, with other athletes around them, we hope that all adds to their experience and development," Hnatiuk said.

Union Effects and Earnings Dispersion in Australia, 1986-1994
In Australia, a large decline in union density has occurred since the mid-1970's. This paper examines the relation between the decline in union density and the dispersion of earnings in Australia between 1986 and 1994. Changes in union density are found to be associated with an increase in earnings dispersion for male employees over this period, but do not appear to be strongly related to changes in earnings dispersion for female employees. The main cause of changes in earnings dispersion for both male and female employees has been an increase in the dispersion of earnings of nonunion employees.

Okay I am almost 21 and still never got to kiss a girl! Mainly because too many girls are party girls... And the ones that are not are either taken or anti-social. But I am still looking for that girl. But anyways, should I worry about not being a good kisser when the time comes?
Most Helpful Girl
There really isn't a correlation between the type of guy and how he is as a kisser...he could be more "experienced", yeah, but I could consider him a bad kisser if his style isn't what I'm into. It really just depends on the person and how they like to kiss.
Fun Fact: I had my first kiss when I was 21 and the guy complimented me on my kissing skills, when I thought I had no clue what I was doing lol11|00|0
Thanks for BA : )

Everyone knows how to fry chicken. The question here is how long do you fry chicken on the stove? Have you ever wondered if you were not cooking your chicken long enough? Do you over cook your chicken? This article will give you tips and steps on cooking your chicken for the correct amount of time. Many people deep fry their chicken.

- Stove
- Chicken
- Pan
- Butter or oil
- This article
Set your timer to 15 minutes. After preparing your chicken to be fried, place the chicken in the frying pan. A good way to prepare your fried chicken is too wash it with cold water. Place the wet chicken into a container that contains flour and seasoning. If your container has a lid, then you can put the lid on and shake up the chicken and mixture.
Flip the fried chicken after 15 minutes. Make sure you reset your timer for another 15 minutes. You cook fried chicken on Medium high for around 30 minutes all together. Each side should be cooked for 15 minutes.
Place a lid over the fried chicken. This step is optional. If you like your chicken soft then you can turn the heat down on the stove and cover for an additional 5-10 minutes. This step also helps flavor the chicken better. Make sure you wash your hands before and after handling the raw chicken.
Tips & Warnings
