Rind is an outer coating on fruits and vegtables and CHEESE. I think this clue somewho point to cheese.
Also, Watson was the asistant to Alexander Gram Bell. Are there any elements key to the telephone? like tungsted to lightbulbs?
Also, James Watson was the person who discovered that DNA was in a double helix shape, and won a Nobel Prize for it.

Where did you get the letter "H" from?

that was me thinking out loud--i highly doubt thats how you solve it--it wasn't meant for anyone to protect off of I was just pointing out an element symbol in that but there are a lot of them in the clue besides just H

Ok, I admit this clue is a bit vague.

The important words in this are "bend", "elemental" and "rock".

This should be easy enough now, I hope.

I only added "mind" so I could fit "bend" in, and "rind" so I could have something to rhyme with "mind".

OK, I think I figured it out. It's targeting gneissisnice.

When I google the words, I got websites related to the TV show Avatar. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender) In it, people "bend" elements. Gneissisnice has an avatar about Avatar, (no pun intended), and has a username relating to rocks.

There you go.

Can you be sure that gneiss is an earth-bender though? ;)

What? I'm sorry, I don't know anything about that show except for what I just read on Wikipedia.

That pun was totally intended by me. Thats why my avatar is of The Avatar =).

Too bad I was busy all day, this is the first chance I got to log on today. Or else I would have seen it pointing to me.
And I would totally be an earth bender. <3 rocks.
