Water, Earth, Fire, Air.
For 100 years, the four nations were at war on the day Sozin's comet arrived, and the Fire Nation first attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them, but he vanished.
About three years ago, my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And after finding some allies and mastering all four elements, Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai and put an end to the war. Our friend and ally, Zuko, was then crowned the new Fire Lord and together, we all set about rebuilding the world.
But while we are all at peace now, there is still tension between the nations and further secret activity that Aang may not be able to stop. Many believe that the Avatar cannot possibly heal the world after 100 years of war, but I believe Aang can.
I passed straight through the portal, and watched as my home closed behind me. I turned and took a good look around; the place that I ended up in was pleasantly quiet, for the moment at least. It was clearly a market, the stands and the stools made that clear the moment I turned my head. But the thing that was confusing me was that everything was neatly set up, ready to be sold, yet no one was there at all. No buyer, no seller, not even a bystander to wonder round aimlessly passed the stalls.
"Where is everyone?" I exclaimed out loud.
I let my voice disappear. I felt completely alone, the irony being that I was always alone, stuck in the timeless dimension with no company. Well that wasn't completely true, I always had Shi to talk to if I needed any information or if was in the mood for a chat, he never said much, being an ancient spirit and all, but he was a wise voice, hiss, groan, whatever, when I needed it. But now I was in a place that was purposely thriving with life, and there was nothing in it but stationary objects and no one was around even to acknowledge this.
I took steps forward and entered through the streets. I passed the stools of products and produce, looking for any signs of life, even if it was a cricketfly, I wasn't picky. I passed a large poster, carelessly stuck upon a bare wall down an alley, bearing the Fire Nation Insignia: a large red circle with a three primed black flame rounded evenly in the centre. The poster was an encouragement for migration to the former Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom. The poster bore a large black image of a map of the Earth Kingdom with the colonies stripped and a large picture of Avatar Aang, Earth King Kuei and Fire Lord Zuko all shaking hands together.
I took a step back, then took a short tumble after tripping over a wagon filled to the brim with cabbages. Clumsily I took the wagon with me as I fell, knocking the vegetables tumbling down a slope back through the market. I saw a man wearing green, white and yellow, the colours of the Earth Kingdom, run straight passed me, ignoring my existence to chase down his produce as it rolled further down.
"Noooo! My Cabbages! Even Away From The Earth Kingdom They Are Not Safe!"
Guilty as I was, I wasn't prepared to stick around to see him return. The least I did for him was bend time around what cabbages were left, as well as the wagon, reversing the effect that I inevitably caused. The wagon was set back on its wheels and the cabbages were set back to their original settings. Which just left me to leave the scene in good time.
Flying was still an exhilarating experience. It was so much fun to soar through the skies. I couldn't help but scream my lungs out with excitement. Circling round and around the mountains of the Southern Air Temple. Momo followed my flight movements as he always did, though he would make several detours to catch insects. I would chuckle often seeing him stuff himself. As soon as he rejoined I told him "Cummon Momo, let's get back to Appa and the others."
"Mmyah" he replied.
We flew further down towards the temple grounds where Appa was waiting, eating mountain upon mountain of hay that was delivered to him almost every minute of the day by the Air Acolytes who had started settling into the old Air Nomad Temples; only a small number resided here, while most were starting to settle on a small island near the former Fire Nation colonies. Me, Zuko and Kuei were going to make a fifth nation from them, a separate one where any culture could live in harmony with another as Fire Colonials did with the Earth Kingdom subjects in Yu Dao.
I landed and ran straight to Appa. Momo took the short cut and landed on Appa's head.
"Hey there buddy, they feeding you well?"
Appa opened his mouth and slavered me with his enormous tongue. I laughed as his tongue lifted me off my feet. I started patting his large head as he closed his eyes and nudged head up and down me. One of the Air Acolyte girls walked back up to Appa, holding her entire armful of hay. She placed it near the rest of the pile, which immediately drew Appa's attention back to eating.
"Welcome back Avatar Aang, Did you enjoy your flight?"
"It never gets old, maneuvering through the clouds is tricky, but that's what makes it fun." I span my glider around until it folded back into a staff. "Thanks for feeding him, we've got a long journey today, don't we guys?"
"I'll take that as a yes." I airbended onto Appa and grabbed the reins.
"What will you do now, Avatar?"
"First I'll pick up Katara and Sokka from the South, then we get Toph from her Metalbending school, and we'll all go to the Eastern Air Temple."
"What of the Fire Lord? Won't he be coming?"
"I thought I'd leave Zuko to his duties. I feel he's had enough travelling for a while. Besides, he has a nation to watch over now."
"Well, safe trip to you all."
"Thanks. Alright boy, time to head south. Yip-yip" and we took off.
"Sokka! Get up, Aang's coming any minute!"
And just like that, another night of sleep ruined. Katara knew just to wake me when my dreams were getting to the best part. I chose not to move a muscle, hoping that she would eventually leave me alone. Then I could get back to some quality dream time with Suki.
-*SPLASH*- "Arrrrgh!" And I was just dosed in water by my crazy waterbending sister who thinks its alright to disturb a man's sleepy time, again.
"Oh good you're awake."
"Why is it I can never get a snooze in the morning when you think that spraying me in icy cold water is the only thing you can think of doing besides letting me sleep?"
"Because, lazy bones, Aang is coming! The least you could do is be a bit more excited about this."
"And I am, just let me sleep. I at least want to be fresh and prime before you and your boyfriend gross me out again."
"Oh yeah. I'm gross. I don't kiss my pillow and say 'Oh Suki' when I sleep."
"MMMyhhh, less pestering, more sleeping." I continued to try and wave her off. Literally, I waved my hand in a manner to get her to go.
"Sokka!" I felt my sleeping bag being pulled from underneath me. "Good, you're out of bed," she said before walking straight out.
"I miss the old days sometimes. I wish Aang were here." I replied before trying to bury my face in the floor.
I continued running in the direction of the screaming, rushing through the streets before coming to the front door of a house. Without hesitation I burst through the door, sending it plummeting forward to the ground.
"Arrrrgh! This tea is too hot." There was a family sitting round a table, drinking tea. Not the emergency I expected. They turned to realise I was standing on top of their door, complete with a confused expression on my face.
I felt my cheeks go red. "Sorry! Wrong door." I answered as I stepped slowly backwards, reversing the damage I did to the door as I exited. Had I decided to look round before I went through the door, I wouldn't have bumped into a Fire Nation sentry patrol.
"Hey Kid! Watch yourself."
Had I not panicked and remembered the era, I wouldn't have done what I did next: I kind of . . . sort of . . . um, ripped a hole underneath the closest guard and let him fall through another rip that opened up on a rooftop. The other guards just stared at me for a while, before I made my choice of attack: Run!
I had no direction, I just followed the streets as they came. I would just follow down the same road until I thought I had a good place to turn to. With the adrenaline from running, I easily lost track of where I was going, I remember only one left, two rights, then a second left, but I swear I keep on running past that cabbage merchant at least eight times.
I finally hit the wall, no literally, a wall. A dead end. A rat in a cage. Lucky for me I lost the guards, I could hear them panting and weazily shouting out for me to stop, but at least I thought I was safe. Until the girls in green jumped me.
I had relatively little time to react: five dropped right in front of me, cutting off my escape. I was prepared to warp out of the situation, had I not been struck with several quick jabs in both my arms and legs. I had no idea why, but I just lost all feeling in my limbs and subsequently fell face first into the street.
I hit my head so hard I found it difficult to see properly, all the images became fuzzy and unclear. In what felt like the distance, even though it was close, I heard only two sentences before speaking:
"Is it just me or is he cute?"
"Take him to the palace, the Fire Lord will decide what to do with him."
I ran straight outside to the sound of people cheering. A long bison groan greeted the sounds as Aang, Momo and Appa closed in for landing.
"Sokka! Come on, he's here."
"Katara!" I heard him moan "Ahhhh, I haven't even had breakfast yet." Just plain old Sokka, food was his priority over anything important. But Aang was coming and I didn't care for his opinion. All I wanted to do right now as hug my boyfriend and never let him go again.
Appa landed and was instantly crowded around by all the younglings that had at one time or another used his tail like a slide. Aang descended from him and had a difficult time maneuvering around through his southern fan base.
Momo came flying off of Aang's back and glided towards Sokka. Momo nested himself on Sokka's head before flying off again just as a herd of children stampeded over Sokka. He cried out in pain to the sound of trampling children chasing after a lemur bat.
"Katara!" He shouted.
"Aang!" I replied.
"Owwww, my face!" Sokka complained.
Just as I wanted to do for so long, I ran straight up to my boyfriend and hugged like I never wanted him to go again.
"I missed you sweetie."
"I missed you too sweetie."
We both opened away from hugging and closed in to kiss each other . . .then Sokka's voice completely ruined the moment as it always did:
"Urghhh. Please, just don't, at least wait till I'm asleep before you do all that mushy business."
"Sokka," Gran-Gran came up from behind with Master Paku and placed her hand on his shoulder "Be nice to your sister, let her be."
"Listen to your Grandmother, Sokka," Paku added.
"Paku," Gran-Gran said smiling.
He chuckled slightly "Yes Dear," as they leaned in to kiss each other.
"Oh man not you two as well," he complained. Aang and I took the opportunity to do the same, in spite of his protests.
Momo then returned and landed back on his head, then flew off from the returning stampede, leaving Sokka crushed and on the floor.
"Urrhhhhh. Worst Day Ever!" he groaned.
I sat in the throne room alone. The fires in front of the hall were flickering brightly and blazing. Then the door opened and a guard walked into room. "What is it?" I asked.
He took a bow on one knee. "I'm sorry to bother you, Fire Lord Zuko, but one of our sentries has captured criminal on the market streets."
"As if that's new. Anything else?"
"Um well," he said before looking at a piece of paper. "Um, fifteen years old, slim, dark haired, hazel eyes, believed to be from the former colonies . . . and . . . ohh."
"What is it? Well spit it out!"
"Um, Fire Lord, he's a bender . . . "
"Is that it?"
"Well, he bends, but the guards couldn't identify it."
I got up from the throne. I walked out of the fire and towards the guard. "What do you mean 'couldn't identify it'?"
"Well, sir. It wasn't anything we've seen. It could have been air . . ."
"How can that be, the Avatar is the last airbender alive. Now you're telling me there's another one."
"Zuko!" I turned at the sound of Uncle Iroh's voice. He was visiting for the holidays, the ones that he invented as acting Fire Lord, National Tea Appreciation Day had evolved into a weekly thing. It seems silly, but people really enjoyed it, Uncle Iroh sure knew how to make a holiday last and appreciated. He turned to me with concern. "Calm down please nephew. How about some calming Jasmine Tea?"
I couldn't help but let my frustration die down. "No thanks Uncle, I'm good now."
Uncle turned to the guard. "Please continue with your description of this interesting vigilante."
"Um, very well General Iroh, um, we think he's an airbender, but his movements, his bending, they were . . ."
"Did they blow you away, use any form of wind?" Uncle continued.
"Well, no. Apparently he ripped a whole in the ground . . . "
"An Earthbender?" I interrupted.
"Well, no. The earth didn't move. It was like a puddle, but it wasn't water. The guard started by falling through it literally, and then he reappeared on top of a house several yards behind his original position."
"Excuse me?"
"Well, we don't have any confirmed sightings except from the guards and one cabbage merchant saw this event occur, but . . . "
"Maybe it would be wise to bring in the defendant in to see if he can shed light on the subject." Uncle answered.
"Yes, bring in the accused, guards."
"Very well, Fire Lord Zuko." The guard left the room, leaving me and Uncle Iroh alone.
"What do you think of this predicament, Zuko?"
"I'm unsure Uncle. I, I don't know how to react."
"I'm sure you do, you're just unsure if your reaction is expected of the Fire Lord."
"I don't know if it is wise to let in this unknown bender into the palace Uncle. What would the court think of this? What would . . ." I stopped myself. I knew where this would be going, and from the look of his face, Uncle did also.
"You can't judge someone before you get to know them. It would be like saying you don't know whether to eat a bowl of noodles that may smell rotten at first, but until you take that first bite, you cannot judge whether or not it is delightful or rotten. As Fire Lord, you must make the difficult choice to trust in your instincts and decide whether or not the accused is innocent or guilty by meeting him in person and deciding based on what you can taste from the situation."
We stuck around for a while, but we needed to pick up Toph by tomorrow so we packed up quickly and all boarded. I enjoyed having Katara and Sokka back, it was like old times again. Except it was so much different now; I was now really comfortable around Katara, but somehow Sokka lost his funny when he started paying more attention to me and her.
"Ladies and Gentleman, we will be flying non stop for the Beifong Metalbending Academy, keep your hands and feet inside the bison at all times. The exits are located here and basically everywhere. Enjoy your flight." I announced.
Katara immediately locked her arms around me as we took off into the sky, and we both leaned in for another kiss.
And Sokka happened again: "Can you guys stop for five minutes, there is another person here."
"If you don't like it, why did you still come along?" Katara asked crossly.
"I have my reasons, and my brotherly duty to make sure you don't do anything too oogy."
"Then I think you should have been more worried about your grandsonly duties then." That reaction on Sokka's face was priceless. I couldn't help but snicker slightly.
"I'm just glad that we'll get away from that old people love,*laaah* just as long as you two stop it right now."
"Come on Sokka, you do it all the time when you're with girls." I pointed out.
"That's not the point, It just doesn't settle with my instinct that I have to watch my best friend and my little sister smooching all the time. It was bad enough that you started calling each other sweetie all the time."
Katara finally had enough. "Oh, grow up Sokka, seriously, all you do is complain about us, I for one am sick and tired of hearing you moan when I didn't bother you once about Suki."
"Uhhh." Sokka was in serious trouble, Katara was now on a roll.
"And another thing: You once said it yourself, your instincts are sometimes wrong, so why don't you believe in your own words rather than something that makes you feel sick inside all the time."
"Okay, okay, sheesh. Calm down." He waited for a while then turned to Momo and said, "Girls, huh."
I could hear Momo let out a small 'Myah' like he usually did, and I imagined him turning his head to one side as to say 'Sorry, I can't believe that you'd think I'd understand what you're telling me'.
Appa continued flying us north, as I looked behind at the setting sun. I knew, that as the sun would rise again, we would see Toph again.
I was left in the care of two female guards, both dressed from head to toe in green with white face and red eyeline. One was wearing a large gold headpiece, almost like a helmet, but had crossed bars overlapping the front of it. The other one was more like a headband or a flat tiara.
The one to my right in the helmet headpiece was definitely older than me. She was undeniably the leader the way she stood like a leader should, tall, proud and sure of your actions and orders. The way she talked was commanding, but showed a hint of responsibility and serious caring to her fellow warriors. Something was admirable about it. Though she would let her emotions get the better of her when she thought no one was looking; her face said it all, it dropped slightly like she missed someplace, or someone in particular.
The other in the headband/tiara was around my age; she looked physically older, but her actions depicted her as much more a free spirit, "big person" talk for acted much younger than she was. She couldn't keep herself still for all those hours of standing around. She would show just how flexible she was by simply bending backwards till her hands touched the ground and then hoisted her legs into the air and place herself back into guarding position. She was also generally happy, it slightly creeped me out, but it was pleasant as well to be generally happy all the time, the naivety of youth.
I began to feel my arms again, which I tested by moving my fingers slightly. Slow movements, so neither of them would notice. I just needed the right moment, I needed a distraction of some sort; I've had time to think things through for what seemed like eternities, I knew how I was going to escape:
"Which one of you said I was cute?"
Both of them turned to look at me, I kept my head looking straight ahead, but I let my eyes look either side.
"Oh that was me, and you are, very," said the one in the headband.
"Aww shucks, thank you for that it really made my day."
"Oh you're wel . . ."
"Ty Lee!" said the one in the helmet. "We are guards, not visitors. We swore to help out our friend in these troubling times, and one of them is helping with his secruity. We are here to do our work, which doesn't include socialising with the criminals."
"Oh, sorry Suki. Don't worry, it won't happen again. Kyoshi Warriors Honour."
Something ticked in my head, it all then started pouring out of me like a history scroll. "Kyoshi Warriors, named after the Kyoshi Island, which itself is named after Avatar Kyoshi, who wore a similar styled gear you two are wearing."
"And you can shut up and all." Suki warned me, but I was on a roll.
"Current Leader: Suki, nonbender, like all Kyoshi Warriors, uses fans, a shield and a katana. Ally to Avatar Aang, officially a member of Team Avatar, a term invented by . . . "
"Will you just stop talking for two minutes, Mr . . . uh . . . knows a lot about everything."
Ok, I lost complete track of what I was doing; "Sorry, was that suppose to be a joke? Wasn't very good, and I've heard some bad jokes in my day."
"How is that possible, you're younger than both of us."
"I'm a lot older than you think."
"You said you were fifteen."
"I was fifteen, and I haven't aged since."
"Since when?"
"I'd rather not say, actually."
"Tell. Me. Now!"
"Certainly not with that tone."
I pushed too many buttons at that point. She kicked me over very easily. I probably could have moved, but I was still having difficult moving my arms, so the landing wasn't any softer.
"Since when?" she repeated, grabbing me up again.
"Since I became a bender."
She suddenly just dropped me, like something clicked inside her head. "Wait, you're saying you weren't a bender."
"I was, I am and I will be." I finally got back into what I was planning before, just before I was loosing track of what I was doing. I should really have chosen better words, I just ticked her off again, lucky there was an interruption before she could kick me over again.
A guard walked in from the main hall. "Uh, the Fire Lord wishes to see the prisoner in person. Immediately."
Ty Lee and Suki then grabbed me by the arms and promptly dragged me to the Throne Room of Fire Lord Zuko.
Class over for the day. Another successful day beating those new lily livers into submission. Those new wires that we started using are fun to use in whipping, hanging them upside down, tying them in knots. Nothing was more amusing . . . rewarding, than seeing them squirm attempting to take on the greatest Earthbender and Metalbender in the world.
"No point coming quiet. I know you anywhere twinkle toes." I waited for a smart remark, but he just stood there. I slammed my foot against the ground. He was alone; no Katara, no Sokka, no Appa, no Momo either. Something was up, it felt like it was Aang, he was light on his feet, but somewhat slightly heavier, like he had gotten bigger also.
I twisted round and outstretched my arm, hurling a piece of the floor in the stranger's direction. I knew it missed, I felt the rock shatter against the walls of my school. The problem now was that he was no longer on the ground. I couldn't feel his feet touching the surface, but he was still in the room, somewhere.
"The Blind Bandit," I heard and threw a rock to my left. His voice was deeper than Aang's, not adult deep, but teen deep, but also settled and not in between breaking. "The Runaway," I threw to my right. "When I heard that the Avatar was taught Earthbending by a blind girl . . ." I threw back to my left. " . . . I laughed at the thought of seeing just how . . . 'talented' you were." I raised the ground beneath, as well as the whole floor of the hall, breaking through the roof, attempting to get him on the same level, literally. Luckily I felt his feet touch the ground as I first raised the floor. I quickly trapped him in between two rocks. We were now high above the ground, but still on solid earth.
"Ha, you call it talent. I call it 'owning your sorry ass.'"
"He he he, for a blind girl, you know exactly where to look."
"I would say the same, but I caught you like a fly in a web. Just as you were starting to bug me."
He then just remained silent. Not a word, not a breath, not even a heart beat. Then he vanished. He got loose. I turned around aimlessly, I could feel a warm, unsettling wind brush my ears. I felt so helpless. He could be anywhere and I had no clue where he was. He had to be an Airbender, no one else other than Aang was that light on his feet.
I then felt the wind pick up behind me, growing stronger. It became so strong that I tried planting my feet into the ground to stay standing. Then I felt my feet being ripped from the earth and lifted off the ground. I lost my seismic sense, I was blind. Well, yes I was already blind, but now I was unable to see with Earthbending anymore. I didn't even know where the earth was.
The weightlessness was making me feel sick. Then I could hear him blow closer, till I could feel his breath directly in front of my face. "I have a message," he said, grabbing the bottom of my chin and clawing into my neck.
All could do was grip his wrists and choke on what air I had left. I would have said something clever like 'Why, can't you send the message to yourself, or are just scared of being rejected', but I was pretty much gasping for air at this moment.
"Make sure your friend, the Avatar gets it when he comes knocking. Tell him . . . " I continued to struggle, trying to break myself loose from his grip, but he just held me tighter and violently pulled me in closer. "Tell him, The Airs are ever changing, and the time has come for them to change again, there can only be one airbender in this world, and it will not include him."
I last felt him swing me around and felt my weight catch up with me, hurtling from the sky, and into the side of my own school, before the hall collapsed around me.

THAILAND'S Kiradech Aphibarnrat showed there's more than one way to pick up shots, especially around Royal Melbourne.
Just short of the green at the par-four 11th, Aphibarnrat punched a low-running chip shot through the back.
The ball ran around the slope and back onto the green, coming to rest just 1m from the flagstick.
The official website of the US tour was so stunned by the Thai's flair that it tweeted a video and said: "Aphibarnrat just proved why Royal Melbourne is one of the most entertaining places on Earth to watch golf.''
Players brought to their knees
ROYAL Melbourne requires a silent prayer on each tee as it really does giveth and then taketh away. Classy Swede Peter Hanson can vouch for that early in his second round.
Hanson grabbed an eagle when he reached the par-five second in two, only to surrender those two shots and more with a triple bogey at the par-three third for a five shot swing in just two holes.
Oscar lonely at the top
LONE Mexican Oscar Fraustro was the big mover, posting the best round of the day with his four-under 67.
Fraustro, who struggled to 74 in the opening round, grabbed five birdies and the only blemish was a lone dropped shot at the 12th. He's among only a handful of players in red figures heading into the weekend.

Reviews for Thrifty in Manchester
- All reviews 100%
Recent reviews
Most recent
7.2 Good
Oct 17 2016
Exploding rear window
Pros: All was great until the rear window exploded
Cons: When in Virginia (on our way home from Florida to NH), I closed the passenger side door and the rear window of our Kia Sedona exploded. To say it scared us is an understatement. Apparently, this is not unheard of in a Sedona. In fact, it is recommended that you open a window prior to closing the door to relieve the interior air pressure. No one ever told us this. We were stranded for over 2 hours while waiting for the tow truck. Our trip home was delayed causing issues with traffic and time frames.
4.0 Mediocre
Oct 13 2016
Cons: We were not provided the address of where to return the car other than Albany airport and it was off the airport property which was stressful to find and almost made us lose the plane. I don't want to rent where it is not on airport grounds to pick up and return.
4.4 Okay
Apr 8 2016
Vehicle felt unsafe
Pros: The car 'looks' good and it was very easy to pick up car at MHT airport.
Cons: The car was loose feeling, I didn't feel safe changing lanes. I was on the highway and it's not easy to turn around or I would have driven right back. In addition the driver's side mirror has a warped appearance which I understand (after I turned the vehicle in) is a Honda design for better view of cars beside you. NOT SO...I felt like it was a mirror from a carnival. I called Thrifty and was told to bring the car in to my destination location (no suggestion of a location along the way) that night, to swap...only to find they were closed. It was a terrible experience that I would never want to repeat. I was so grateful that I didn't have to drive that car back to MHT airport because of the weather. I couldn't imagine maneuvering that car in snow. I rent cars on a fairly regular basis and this was a car that needs work before letting anyone drive again.

It was really exciting and an honor to travel all the way to Albuquerque, NM to photograph Emily & Grant's wedding. An absolutely perfect outdoor wedding, Casas de Suenos, tucked away just a few blocks from Route 66, was a garden paradise set in classic southwestern style. Congratulations Emily & Grant!! Thank you for making our photography such an important part of your wedding. You and your families were such wonderful hosts all weekend. I'm still craving some Carne Adovada. Thanks so much for everything! All our best to you both!!

A subscript is a number, letter, or symbol written directly next to and
slightly below a word or phrase that can be used to reference the word or phrase to
a footnote. A subscript is also used in chemistry to indicate the number of atoms
of an element in a molecule. To create a subscript, use the
tag, as shown below.
The chemical formula for water is H2O, and the formula for Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2.

The chemical formula for water is H2O, and the formula
for Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2.

If you want to use a subscript reference a footnote, note that the
tag responds to the onclick event. This means, you can use Java Script with
the document's location object, to set it up so the user can click on the
subscript and be taken to the footnote, as shown below.

A superscript is a number, letter, or symbol written directly next to and
slightly above a a number, letter, or symbol. A superscript is frequently used in
mathematics to indicate and exponent. To create a superscript, use the
 tag, as shown below.
Mass and energy are related as defined by Einstein's formula E=mC2,
where energy (E) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared.

where energy (E) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared.

Many webmaster's today prefer to use CSS as much as possible to replace html.
In that case, you can replace the  or  with the
tag and then use the vertical-align style property to set the verticle
position of the subscript or superscript, as shown below.

"An error occurred. Please try again later." after trying to embed the jotform on FacebookAsked by konformusa on December 04, 2014 at 05:11 PM
Hello, immediately after clicking the "Add JotForm Tab" button in the Embed Form settings, it seems Facebook opens a window and I get a generic message...
"An error occurred. Please try again later."
Any ideas? Thanks!
This is a re-post of a comment on Adding a Form to Your Facebook Page
I have tried now on my side and from what I see it is working properly.
Do you have any Popup blocker installed? If so please allow popups on jotform since the ones that we use are only to help you set things up, like the authorization on Facebook.
Best Regards,
I have tried different browsers, two different forms...
Attached is a screen shot... here is the URL inside the facebook url window
Thank you for the screenshot and the link. From what I can see I am being taken to a different page than you are, which is why I am not shown the error.
Following your link I can see the error as well.
Now I will clear your jotform cache, just in case it is the one causing this issue, but if it does not help you to connect to Facebook, please let us know and we will raise this to our developers to inspect.
Best Regards,
Still no luck on my end...
JotForm Support
Please try first clearing you browsers cache.
Please also try to log in first to your Facebook page on another tab before clicking the "Add JotForm Tab". Take note that it should be a Facebook page.
Hope this helps. If it is still the same then let us know so we can further investigate.
Thank you!
Still no luck on my end... still getting the same error message. I am trying to upload the form to my Facebook business page.
Update... I tried it with the Google Chrome browser and it worked... wouldn't work on IE or Firefox if that helps.
Thank you for the update.
I would say that it is happening because of the Browser Cache, but seems that my colleague had already given the instructions for this.
I am however glad that it worked for you and again thank you for the update.
Do let us know if you have any further questions.
Best Regards,

Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Research Project #2
Ahmad Alazmi, Paul Lapsansky, Roberto Mejia
The electrode connected to the negative side of the solar panel has electrons that are being pushed by the solar panel.
Electrons in the electrode combine with water molecules.
The water molecules each give up a hydrogen atom, to form molecules of hydrogen (H₂), leaving negatively charged ions of OH-.
Positive side of the solar panel pulls electrons from the water molecules.
The water molecules split into positively charged hydrogen atoms (single protons), and oxygen molecules (O₂).
The oxygen molecules form bubbles at the electrode, and the protons migrate away from the positively charged electrode.
When we remove the solar panel, the catalytic action of the platinum causes the hydrogen (H₂) molecules to break up, forming positively charged hydrogen ions (H+, or protons), and electrons.
At that other electrode, the oxygen molecules in bubbles on the platinum surface draw electrons from the metal, and then combine with the hydrogen ions (from the reaction at the other electrode) to form water.Fuel Cell
Honda has begun work on a domestic solar-powered hydrogen refueling station that is smaller and intended to fit within the home's garage. Designed to work in conjunction with Honda's FCX Clarity vehicle, the charging station is also compatible with a "Smart Grid" energy system.Honda Personal Refueling Station

New Delhi, June 23: Nothing personal yesterday. Back to mud-slinging today.
An aggressive BJP today launched a fresh offensive against Pratibha Patil, less than 24 hours after party leader Sushma Swaraj said there would be no personal attacks on the UPA-Left candidate.
A senior leader said the idea was to remove the moral halo around her persona as Indias first prospective woman President.
The attack, he added, was expected to get shriller and sharper and expand on specific aspects of the broad charges against Pratibha, accused of defaulting on a massive bank loan repayment and shielding her brother, an alleged murderer.
The change in tack came after Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani and other senior leaders met last night to decide that even if the alliance fought the election to lose, it should be a pyrrhic victory for the Congress-led UPA.
As Pratibha, in a yellow-and-red silk sari, filed her nomination this morning, the political advantage the ruling combine had sought to extract from the gender card lay buried in a growing heap of charges and counter-charges.
A news conference addressed later by Union ministers Sharad Pawar and Priya Ranjan Das Munshi focused almost entirely on answering the BJP-NDA allegations.
The BJP listed eight questions for Pratibha. Some of them were:
Did Pratibha, who is from Jalgaon, ever commiserate with Rajini Patil, the widow of local Congress leader V.G. Patil who was allegedly killed by G.N. Patil, Pratibhas brother, and collaborator Ulhas Patil'
Why were the alleged conspirators not interrogated 21 months after the murder'
Who were the influential political leaders the Aurangabad bench of Bombay High Court mentioned in its order, which said the case should be probed by the CBI'
Did Pratibha set the record straight with Sonia Gandhi whom Rajini had met'
Was Pratibha fit to occupy the high office despite being a life-member of a sugar cooperative that had totted up unpaid bank loans of Rs 17 crore'
Pawar refused to speak on the murder case, but defended Pratibha on the loan default matter. He said she had ceased to be a director of the cooperative board and its chairperson after she was appointed Rajasthan governor in 2004.
Asked who was behind the smear campaign, Pawar said: It looks like the NDA.
Shekhawat papers
NDA-backed independent candidate Bhairon Singh Shekhawat will file his nomination papers on June 25.
June 25 is a significant date in the politics of India. It was on this day in 1975 that the Emergency was imposed. In reaction the non-Congress parties had got together and removed the Congress for the first time from the Centre, Sushma said.

Antonio Flores Narcisso a 42 year old San Antonio, Texas man has been accused of repeatedly stabbing his roommate for making too much noise while having sex with two women in his bedroom.
Cops arrested the man on Tuesday almost four months after the incident occurred, charging him with 'burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit deadly force'.
Police say they found the roommate, whom they didn't identify, at the shared home in San Antonio suffering from multiple stab wounds to the head, back and arms, according to KHOU.com.
He was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.
The incident began when Flores's roommate celebrated his 36th birthday by having a threesome with two women.
Flores, infuriated by the loud sex sounds he was hearing, (oh well…) kicked down the door to his roommate's bedroom, demanding he stop making so much noise.
Naturally the roommate refused and told Flores to leave.
He did so but returned a moment later with a knife from the kitchen, stabbing his roommate several times.
Police reports would not indicate if it was necessarily just the noise that bothered Flores or if somehow the threesome betrayed his sense of sexual inadequacy?
Our collective hero is being held in the Bexar County Jail in San Antonio after the two women involved in the threesome(indeed) confirmed Antonio Flores's identify in a photo lineup.

I'm in 10th grade and I'm very mature looking and acting for my age(enough to more often then naught, trick college girls). I catch a lot of older girls looking at me, and girls about 2-3 years younger looking at me, but never any girls in my grade looking at me. I don't know jack shit about the younger girls, but I know the older girls who have caught looking at me are of a high quality.(Student council member(including president), honor society members, grades are high eighties and up, dresses super nice) I'm not saying it's a problem, I love it! Hell, there's even an 18 year old girl who I'm fairly certain likes me.(talk almost everyday, and wants to do stuff with me a lot). The only thing is I don't understand why girls in my class don't care for me. I have the highest grades in class, I'm the tallest guy in school, I'm as, if not more, muscular than the super jocks, my hygiene is impeccable and I'm far from ugly...what gives?
Yes hate is an exaggeration, but I thought I might draw more answers in.
Most Helpful Guy
Lol would have thought reading your own question, you could have easily found the answer yourself..
Younger girls look at you, older girls look at you, what does that tell you? It tells me that the girls in your area either prefer younger men, or older men.00|00|0
Perhaps, but I'm an anomaly. The girls in my grade do go after the guys in my grade, just not me, the immature guys, and the retards.
I'm in my own little sub-class, aren't I special.
- Show AllShow Less
I'm quiet, but I don't know about intimidating. I may be big, but I don't intimidate people unless I'm in gym, or someone gets me angry (rarely happens) .
People tend to see quiet people most of the time as '' Unfriendly.'' '' Stuck up.'' ''Intimidating.'' Almost always.

How long have you been playing playing piano? Over 40 years. Have you recorded any of your own albums? Yes, 3 rock albums and 1 jazz album
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Always know how to communicate and never assume that a studio musician can read your mind. You know what you want, but another musician most likely will not, so make sure to articulate with examples what you envision the studio musician playing. Never say "come up with your best stuff" since another person's vision of the best may not be the same as yours. Give samples!
If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
1. my keyboard 2. alto sax 3. amplifier 4. my tenor sax and 5. my microphone.
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
I have been playing music for over 40 years and have never done it full time as I am a business owner, but I love playing and recording every chance I get. I am getting set to release my 4th album and it is in the mastering phase now.
How would you describe your style?
I play hard rock piano as well as ballads. I love all types of piano playing and can contribute to any rock, R&B, pop, or metal song.
Can you share one music production tip?
When recording and producing your music, get as many people to comment on the sound quality. Whether they are listening in their car, iPhone earpiece, computer speakers, car stereo, get as many opinions as possible. Assemble a listening party and if anyone tells you that your vocals or drum tracks are too loud, how many thousands of people will hear same thing?
What type of music do you usually work on?
I love playing and recording rock music both on piano and vocals, but have a complete smooth jazz album.
What's your strongest skill?
Playing by ear and learning the key of any song in a matter of seconds.
What do you bring to a song?
I play originally and do not like to copy other styles, unless it is requested.
What's your typical work process?
I play by ear very quickly and can learn any tune on the piano within minutes, so when I get hired to play piano or keyboards, I always work with the songwriter or producer to play what they envision or just go wild if I am asked to. If they want a piano ballad, I record it. If the producer wants some hard rock sixteenth notes like you hear in Rock and Roll from Led Zeppelin, I can play it. I record raw piano and if asked to add effects such as reverb, delay, compression, I do. For backing vocals, I usually add a higher or lower harmony and have also recorded two-part harmonies as well. For recording, I send a WAV file of my work.
Tell us about your studio setup.
My studio setup is Protools and Magix. I mainly record and mix in Magix Samplitude Music Studio which is similar in control to Pro Tools.
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
My main influence early on was Elton John. As some piano players say Billy Joel is an influence, Elton John has been my main influence for both songwriting and piano playing, but I also have been influenced by some hard rock music as well.
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
I have been a studio musician for 35 years playing piano and keyboards mostly and some saxophone work. I also sing lead vocals, but can be hired as a backing vocalist.

These past few weeks it has been hard to find inspiration. I've been dealing with a lot of exhaustion; some in part to my family's busy schedule, but a lot of fatigue has been caused by my PTSD and depression symptoms.
Inspiration Found Everywhere: Finding Hope
When I first heard about the death of Robin Williams and how he died, it brought back a flood of emotions. The strong empathy I have for his family; especially his children has been overwhelming.
If you have followed me for a little while you will have a brief glimpse into my family's story; you can read some of it on my About Page or you can head over to the page I created to share the events my children I have been through I have named Scars on My Heart; I have recently updated to share and give insight to my parents horrific death.
I share how they have died to help me to process what has happened and to also bring help and hope to others that have endured great loss.
Very few people around me know what has happened because I have learned to cope by avoiding. One of the reasons why I began this blog was to quit avoiding and to reach out to others and bring help to anyone that is suffering in depression, PTSD or any other burdens.
Through our hard times and days when we find the struggles greater than the triumphs I want to share where I have I have found inspiration, where I am finding hope.
Take a look at the places I have found beauty, encouragement, laughter and smiles this past few weeks.

It Was Written
I started following the blog of a wonderful writer and woman Diana Stone a couple of years ago. After reading her family going through so many trials and tribulations and seeing how she processed things through her writings I decided to start my own blog. Recently Diana shared a very touching and real post about dealing with the anniversary of her son's death The Day Before.
Another sweet lady I follow and have gotten to know through her writings is Angie. She just recently had a death in her family and posted Sorrow Turned into Joy. It's a nice and touching remembrance of how we can turn hurt into triumph.
Everybody Hurts by REM
"When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on"
Do you have struggles that seem to keep you down? Where are you finding hope in the midst of sorrow, hurt or pain?

Carbohydrate's or Carbs are the energy source we use to live, after digestion carbs are broken down into glucose, which is when the body can use it for fuel.
There is always some glucose in the bloodstream but usually not enough to keep you going between meals (if you only eat 3 meals a day). Add in a hard workout and you can see that you would need more glucose to keep you at your optimum.
When you run out of glucose your body then starts to use up carbs stored in your liver and muscles this is called glycogen. When glycogen has nearly been used up your body then turns to using up fat in your fat cells.
Check out the Bronx Sport Supplement range here
Lastly if you've used up the energy in your fat cells your body then starts to use up protein in your muscles.
So how do we get the body to use up fat cells?
Consume fewer carbs so you force your body to use fat as an energy source. When you eat less carbs you reduce the production of insulin, which means less fat is stored in the beginning. This is because insulin works to transport the nutrients from food into 3 different places:
- The muscle cells – which is where you want protein and carbs to go.
- The liver – where it stores glycogen.
- The fat cells – these take what is leftover after your muscles and liver are full.
Everytime you eat insulin is released but more is released when you eat carbs. You of course need insulin to take glucose and amino acids out of the bloodstream into your muscles.
Your bigger muscles store more protein and glycogen than the smaller muscle groups, so when you train with weights more nutrients get into the muscles and are used, which means fewer nutrients are stored in the fat cells.
The more weight training you do the better your muscles get at taking insulin. The more carbohydrates you consume in a meal means that more insulin is produced. You do have key times when you must get carbs and protein into your muscles, straight after training and first thing in the morning.
At these times your muscle tissues needs these nutrients for building bigger muscles. So make sure to use insulin at these key times during the day. If you consume too many carbs at other times then insulin can push these nutrients into your fat cells and not where you want it.
Support your diet with only the best supplements
How do you make insulin work for you?
If you have a lot of fat around your stomach it probably means your body is producing too much insulin. So you need to reduce the amount of insulin your body is producing, but how?
Well, by only eating fast acting carbs like fruit and protein straight after a workout, your body will really use these nutrients and put them to good work. At all other times you need to be eating slow digesting carbs like vegetables and beans that are high in fibre.
Because it takes longer to digest slower released carbs, less insulin is produced. If less insulin is produced less nutrients are taken from the blood stream, which means some will be used as fuel, some will be stored in your muscles and only a small amount will be stored in your fat cells.
As stated earlier vegetables are the best source of carbs along with beans such as pinto and kidney. Grains should be limited as they are high in calories and do not offer much nutritional value.
Fruit offers many nutritional benefits but it also is high in calories and they are made up entirely of carbs most of which are fast acting, so while fruit can be important for over all health and well-being you have to be careful when you consume it, make sure it's only for breakfast or straight after a workout.

I find baking not only stress relieving, but fun and delicious. I'm always trying to find new recipes to make and ways to make old recipes taste better. That's why I love a good cook book that not only gives me recipes, but tips that will help me in the long run. I came across Harvey Rosen's book Culinary Carving and Plate Decoration and was instantly attracted to it for many reasons. Rosen's book gives the reader ideas to decorate a plate. Whether it's centerpieces or garnishes, the book gives readers step-by-step instructions and pictures of the finished product.
What bothers me about many cook books is that there aren't any pictures of the finish products or the steps are too hard and I have trouble following them. Rosen does a great job at instructing his readers so even a novice cook will have no trouble following. An added bonus is that you can purchase the Culinary Carving and Plate Decorating DVD separately for even more tips and step-by-step instructions.
Among others, the book includes chapters on; "The Basics of Carving", "Scenes of Animals and Birds in Three Dimensions", and "The Basic Techniques of Fruit Garnishing and Carving."
I use garnishes all the time to impress friends. Almost everyone I make the garnishes for can't believe that I actually made the garnish and they instantly want to know how I did it. I also like the DVD as an added bonus because I like to visually see the steps as I'm making it. Therefore, if I'm stuck I can just revert back to the picture or screen.
The DVD of Culinary Carving and Plate Decoration by Harvey Rosen is available at Kerekes for $26.95. Although the book isn't available on the website you can get it at Amazon or at your local bookstore. However, Kerekes does sell Rosen's other book, Melon Garnishing.

Perhaps you are thinking of importing an exotic animal into Alaska as a pet for your kids, or to sell in pet stores. Maybe you're planning to bring your own unusual pet with you when you move.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
I would like colour coding for at least html,css,javascript and php and anything else is a bonus.Oh and line numbers.
Is there anything anyone would recommend?
Here's one download link I found (the authors site seems to be down or moved)
Until recently I would have said Crimson Editor but it has completely screwed up all my file associations and icons etc twice now so I am looking for alternatives.
I have tried JEdit but theyve removed the launcher that there was in previous versions so I cant find a simple way of associating files with it.
Im still looking for a basic, tabbed, editor with PHP, HTML and CSS colouring. It also needs to be free and for Windows. Any suggestions? - I've checked out most of the above.

It's all taste, I guess, but from England it seemed that his "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Last Boogie in Paris" records were far better than the anaemic covers he did of "Memphis" etc.

Blood and protein in the urine during pregnancy
there are several important causes of proteinuria in pregnancy:
- infection in your kidneys
- urinary tract infection
- you have underlying kidney disease
- sign of preeclampsia in later pregnancy
You are more prone to these infections in pregnancy because the tubes that connect your kidneys to your bladder and your bladder to your urethra are relaxed under the influence of pregnancy hormones. This makes it much easier for organisms to gain access to your bladder and kidneys.
Blood in urine (hematuria)
-Urinary Tract Infection: Urinary tract infection or chronic bladder infection is one of the most common causes of the appearance of blood in urine.
-Kidney and Bladder Stones: Blood in the urine can also be a result of kidney stones which may cause severe pain and bleeding as the stone passes through the urinary tract.
-blood in urine is detected in pregnant women affected with medical conditions such as lupus, sickle cell anemia, or diabetes.
