Talk:Naruto Uzumaki's Relationships

"Shipping" Page
I see Ultimite3 still hasn't change this "shipping page" or allow anyone else to post a more neutral position. Since no one willing to talk about the Elephant in the room I will, This is nothing but a Shipping page in disgiuse! There is no clear evidence on what character Kishimoto is going to pair off to another character in the series. Heck, Kishimoto still has Karin in love with Sasuke even after he trie to kill her. Both the Sakura and Hinata subsections need to be rewritten, the Sakura section more than the Hinata one. Statements like "Naruto "had" a long standing crush" and "never going to happen" are unsupported by any actual facts. The synopsis for Naruto Shippuden episode 235 in the Sakura section is a complete fraud. It is not a debate on wether or not anime is canon but the fact that it's statement that Naruto no longer loves Sakura and only wants her to be happy with Sasuke is a Lie! The following is an actual exerpt from that Episode.
"Naruto" I mean, I don't know anything about marriage and stuff, but don't you have to love someone and be attracted to each other? "Shizuki" That's "Naruto" I have a girl I love named Sakura. Well actually, its one-sided on my part. Sakura is totally in love a guy named Sasuke. She tries so hard, chasing after him and trying to win his love. When she's at it, her smile is the cutest thing. There no explaining it. Before I realizes it, I was in love with her. I would never try to force her to love me. I'd be no different that guy just now if I did. So I made up my mind. In the same way that Sakura tries so hard to win Sasuke over, I'm going to do my best to win Sakura over.
Does this sound like Naruto just wants to be friends with Sakura? Nope, it does not. To address the comments by Michma12, Kishimoto's comments in the interview on Road to Ninja refer to the Mirrorverse version of Naruto characters not about the plot or any Naruto/Sakura moments. The ninth Naruto "Road to Ninja" movie does count as canon for the following reasons, The tie-in anime episode Road to Sakura. Both Naruto anime series are an expansion of canon not against it, at least in this anime series. There is also the special Zero issue of the actual manga that is a prequel to the movie. Thus making it's content's like Naruto still in love with Sakura canon. Also the controversy about Kushina's last words was about the fact there are three different versions of the second to last line of her last words. In the American manga release it states "don't fall for the first girl that comes your way" meaning pro-Hinata but in the actual Manga version it states a "weird one" instead, meaning pro-Sakura and the anime version simply states "a bad one" which is neutral. In Japanesse bad is Warui, weird is Kikai, and first is Saisho Hajime or Ichiban. Since the American version is highly rewritten by Viz Media the US version is very much in doubt given it's polciy of changing what is original written by Kishimoto. It was also pointed out to you, Michma12 on your talkpage months before by some else. Please don't try to pass off your personal opinions as facts.
Masashi Kishimoto really needs to settle the pairing debate soon. Zombie armies and giant monster brawels are all good but the whole Sasuke/Sakura/Naruto/Hinata love quadrangle and all it's branches has to resolved before the arguements between fans make fandom anymore toxic, It's driving all freaking nuts! --BrennanMulcahey (talk) 09:53, November 23, 2012 (UTC)User:BrennanMulcahey
BrennanMulcahey, you truly are an idiot aren't you? Did you know that there are two versions of that anime episode? One with what you said happened and another where the words say that he knows it's one sided but is happy so long as she's happy. However, one was taken down do to controversial reasons. If Naruto didn't say these words in the manga, they aren't canon. As much as you want it to be, bitch and moan as loud as you can, it isn't canon. Naruto has shown deep feelings for Sakura, yes I'll agree, but to what extent hasn't been fully elaborated or confirmed. In Sai's opinion he thinks Naruto is in love with Sakura, but realizes it may not be to the extent he thought it was. But that means squat when the girl doesn't have the same feelings for him and is in love with a guy she'll most likely still be in love with even if he's dead, an example being Tsunade and Dan.
Though I will agree that the Sakura and Hinata things should be revised later on. However, despite Hinata's lack of screen time, several of those moments, unlike Sakura, portrays about their relationship. That isn't to say that Sakura's relationship isn't important either, just that certain moments are repetition and whatnot, and are later seen as irrelevant when new occurrences occur that contradict those moments. Same with Hinata.
Theres also the fact that movies and filler episodes aren't canon to the manga storyline, the manga part for Road to Ninja was nothing more than a way to advertise the movie. Kishimoto stated that some elements from filler inspire him but nothing more. Also like I said before, when elements from the anime clash with the manga we go with the manga version instead. Kishimoto stated it was fun to make, but was still not canon! Also Kushina's words were this "Try not to fall for a weird one... try to find someone like your mother." And Minato was laughing/smiling in the next scene because it was humorous. Why? Because he knows that Kushina was a weird girl when she was younger. Can you honestly say that Kushina was a normal kid or teenager? I don't think so. You also need to realize that certain love/crush moments Naruto had for Sakura were flashbacks to way back to close to early middle of Shippuden. It is possible they changed. Give hard evidence and I'll accept it. Till then stop being a big baby and grow up.--Michma12 (talk) 21:49, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
Honestly I think you're both over thinking this. Certainly opinions on Sakura or Hinata in terms of their relationship with Naruto are going to be confused and jaded from fan perspectives, making writing a totally unbiased article about it difficult. Similarly so since we don't know what resolution Kishimoto is intending. I'm still pissed at the guy for Naruto running out on Hinata's confession, but that's just me. This however, is not the point. You're addressing only two characters on a list with over a dozen people on it. Bitch about shipping all you want, but this page is about Naruto's relationships with other important characters, not just his romantic ones, but his teachers, his parents, his friends, his rivals and even his enemies and since this isn't Fanfiction.net, I can assure you the romantic value of each one only bares mentioning in Sakura and Hinata's cases. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 23:24, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
Adding info. on Sakura's Haruno part from movie: Road to Ninja
Hello, I'm new here, and I really like Naruto x Hinata. Although, I think it's kind of necessary to add information of the relationship between Naruto and Sakura in the Road to Ninja movie (once it's subbed over the internet), since the story plot was directed by Kishimoto, no? What do you guys think? --*MsIsamisa (talk) 14:09, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
I dunno, if ot was truly directed by Kishimoto, since he draw sketches about Fuu and Roshi, applying that they will be in the movie too, but in the end they weren't. Also, Kishimoto didn't confirmed it canon or took it into the timeline of the manga. He draw a special one shot, but Kubo did also for the fourth Bleach movie too, which also was "directed" by Kubo, yet didn't confrimed as canon or took into the timeline of the manga. But since people considering non-canon anime fillers as canon too, I think you can. —This unsigned comment was made by Mangekyo22 (talk • contribs) .
Actually movies are considered non-canon and are therefore irrelevant. Kishimoto stated the film to be a fun project nothing more and nothing less. Also theres little relationship between them than what has already been shown in the past. So no its not needed. —This unsigned comment was made by Michma12 (talk • contribs) .
Speaking of non-canon, as of right now, I believe the anime filler part in Sakura's section is totally irrelevant to the entire canonical flow. I propose that it should be removed. KazeKitsune (talk) 03:00, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Still waiting for the answer... KazeKitsune (talk) 15:11, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Frog teacher, plus tenten and shino
By the way you might want to add his senjustu mentor, tenten and shino to his relationships page. Just a thought, but what do you think? Justin Holland (talk) 21:46, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Not only that, also Inari and Tazuna. KazeKitsune (talk) 23:43, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
Relationships pages for main and supporting characters?
Reply: Okay, that I get, but then how about a mini relationships section in the character pages, just to help sort out their personality sections? Because it seems that they could use some offloading themselves, plus it make certain parts hard to keep track. How about it? Justin Holland (talk) 21:49, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
- None of them have enough relations to have a different section/page.~ UltimateSupreme 02:28, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
There is absolutely nothing to suggest Naruto's attraction Sakura is a thing of the past, so can we please stop being so blatantly obvious about our preferences (I'm looking at you NaruHina fans) and return to assuming objective perspectives? Thanks.--Reliops (talk) 17:54, April 25, 2013 (UTC)Reliops

I find the confidence they inspire in the DRY as AMAZING... But God help you if you carry that confidence to the WET. In the wet they are quite slippery. You could cal it predictable slip as they will slip at the slightest provocation.
As I am essentially a dry weather rider and weekend thrasher the WET side has not been and issue and pales to insignificance because in the DRY they are just so GREAT.
The Bridgestone Website shows a Usage chart on these and shows were they sit in the ROAD/TRACK/DRY/WET against the BT016 and RACE BT003 which is pretty spot on. http://www.bridgestone.com/products/motorcycle_tires/products/battlax/images/img_battlax_05.gif
Doing just Mountain runs with NO commuting I get around 4,000KM's out of a set.
I'm going to keep buying these till they stop making them I think.

Comments On Jul 11, 2012:I installed a Bridgestone Bt003 190/55/17 on my BMW S1000rr. This tire will not last you very long 1200 miles and it's gone on street riding. This tire was made to be a track tire. Very sticky and gives good confidence. I would not purchase the tire for street use again but I definitely will buy it for track use. Super super good tire. Buy this tire for track use and you wont be disappointed. Good B/C tire on track and maybe and A session.

Comments On Apr 18, 2011:Great track tyre. Progressive feel - slides were predictable and controlable. Good even wear and grip.
Note: They can cool quickly if you get stuck at the dummy-grid for a while after using tyre warmers, so give them time to heat up again.

Comments On Feb 22, 2011:Great tires, As soon as I put these tires on my 05 ZX10, I gained more confidence in the corners and in a straight line. I got caught in the rain a few times, but the traction was still there. Will buy another set in 2011...

- Title
- The 'user' in research funding negotiation processes
- Author(s)
- Davenport, Sally; Leitch, Shirley; Rip, Arei
- Abstract
- National research priorities are often the outcome of negotiations between multiple research stakeholders. These stakeholders include groups of research 'users', which means that the negotiation processes are no longer controlled by 'science'. In this paper, we explore the use of the ideographic term 'users' in the discourse surrounding the negotiation processes between a New Zealand funding agency, a research institute and an industry body. The case study highlights the implications of translating the ideographic user collective, as it appears in policy, into an individual representative to participate in a negotiation process. The design of negotiation processes should, therefore, recognize that 'ideal' user representation may be an unobtainable goal.

I often read in scientific papers a sentence of the form "X lies on the basis of Y." or "X lies at the basis of Y." to indicate that Y is caused by X in some fundamental way. Are both forms valid and common? (Maybe both are poor English?)

The phrase "X lies at the basis of Y", while arguably clumsy, is used reasonably often in English. On the other hand, I do not believe that "X lies on the basis of Y" is something a native English speaker would say. Consider the following Google Ngram :
Both are clumsy. Simply "X is the basis of Y" would be better, so for example "The rule of law is the basis of our freedom".
The meaning is different if you say X is the basis of something.

Guild News
Defiler's End
Valor upgrades definitely sped this one up, but we'd been making steady progress each night which made for a nice learning curve regardless. And I'm not going to complain about a little boost to get Archimonde down before the holidays wreak havoc on scheduling.
Thanks to everyone for great play the last couple of months in particular, really picking up the overall level to close out the tier. Thanks especially to Shabadu and Heckbringer who were instrumental in getting us here, but sat out the big kill. After 11+ months of more or less continuous progression, looking forward to a leisurely farm schedule. Recruitment is pretty much frozen at this point, but exceptional applicants interested in joining for Legion should feel free to reach out, though we'll need to see who rerolls, leaves, returns, etc., going into the new expansion before taking any further steps.
Final pull counts:
- Archimonde - 157
- Mannoroth - 175
- Xhul'horac - 101
- Velhari - 79
- Zakuun - 29
- Iskar - 4 (lol)
- Socrethar - 30
- Gorefiend - ~110
- Kilrogg - 34
- Council - 30
- Kormrok - 39
- Reaver - 37
- Hellfire Assault - 31
- Archimonde (Heroic) - 51
- Blackhand (Mythic) - 339 [bit of context there - granted, lots of quick p1/transition wipes]
12 down, one to go. Fun fight to progress on from start to finish, just making small adjustments and getting comfortable with the timings throughout. Now for fun times with the big guy.
We're probably all set as far as recruitment goes at this late stage of the tier, but exceptional candidates are always welcome to apply.
Floor 2 (+Recruitment update)
After Gorefiend, there wasn't really an specific single boss that felt like it merited a front-page update, but at this point, collectively the entire second floor of the Citadel seems like it does. Onwards to the roof, and Mannoroth. Time for the real challenge.
With the arrival of fall and changing work/class schedules, we're looking to replace a mage and add one more ranged DPS to our lineup to give us some flexibility as we close out the tier. More information here: http://forums.elitistjerks.com/topic/22898-hordemalganis-elitist-jerks-recruitment/

As usual, definitely felt like this should've been dead sooner, but I'll take it. Good to have the first major roadblock behind us, and now on to floor 2...Bruno Castro and Karen like this

Since I'm somewhat free right now I've taken the liberty of compiling a character-tree of Alteil's characters.
This is mainly in response to AD's threads, and part of my own contribution to it.
It's pretty incomplete, and only has Refess characters from set 1 to set 8, but I thought I might as well post it here already.
Things I have yet to do (in this order):
- Add the other factions (Duchy, Regus, Pixie Kingdom, Mermaid Kingdom, Mercenary Kingdom, Beast Kingdom etc.) as well as set 9 and set 10.
- Add minor factions and transformed/progressed characters (dragon kin, Beltorat, The four Kings, etc.)
- Add characters from different timelines (Heroes of the past, like Mikasha and Kaldrao, Future forms, Legacy of the current timeline's heroes, etc.)
- Add Grimoires
- Add Cross-faction relations
- Add Ernst. Seriously, I KNOW he does something important, but I have no idea what.
- Fine Tune
- Flip that freakin' "Most Loyal General", because I keep forgetting to do so.
- ???
v0.2, Added Duchy, Abyssal Forces and the rest of the Solar Kingdom.
v0.4 Added Magic Dolls and undeads (Minor spoiler), fixed mistakes.
v0.6 Added Mermaids and WK, fixed crossing-errors.
Newest version:
v0.7 Added Dilate and Heierrat, some baddies and the battle of Regus. Major spoilers and lots of waste space (to be continued).
Updated with Duchy, Abyssal Forces and the rest of the Solar Kingdom (Thanks to 120 for the Flavor text from Aivault)
I had to remove Undeads (It might seem a little empty right now) because of spacing issues, but I will add them later again.
I made quite some mistakes though.
Sturmy has pointed out that Sergis and Mayleen are not siblings, and I found out that they're actually cousins.
Azn also helped me with Ernst and Sturmy gave me Rubens (who is mayleen's real brother) flavor text, so going to add that as well.
I also forgot Miffyre, and as Cain and Sturmy pointed out, abel is one of the founders of the church and long deceased. Thanks to all of you.
Updated v0.4 is up. For comparison I will leave the older versions linked as well, since it's nice to see the progress.
Nothing major was added, Belfyna and the Magic dolls, Undeads, with a minor spoiler (I warned you). I'm done with the Lawtia factions for now, next going to do Falkow factions, then gowen, then minor factions and standalone units. I also fixed the mistakes I did in the last version.
Either way, by now I have all the flavor text from all cards, save for seasonals and Miffyre (who in my collection somehow ended up as General Ruby Eater with
Miffyre art...).
This is getting a bit messy, maybe I should clean it up...
AAAnd, another update done.
The train I was in got stuck, so I had some time to overhaul falkow factions and fix some crossing-mistakes.
Next is Gowen and the triad.
I also just noticed that one of the arrows went invisible (probably somehow got into a layer below the background), there is an arrow supposed to be going from Diondora to Ibert saying "Follows", will fix that next time.
That said, I'm not really satisfied with the WK layout yet, but still went with it since it's just a draft.
I also didn't add Bernet and Sumer yet, because those have a few more lines going and coming than the others.
What surprised me is that WK has a total of 35 characters, but the fewest connections so far.
Oh, and for some bilingual bonus; Seiryū, Suzaku, Byakko and Genbu are the names of the Four Gods of the chinese constellation system, adopted by the japanese.
Seiryū, also known as Qinglong in chinese, is the "Azure Dragon" that reigns to the east, and represents spring and the element of wood.
Suzaku, also known as Zhūquè, is the "Vermillion Bird", that reigns to the south, representing summer and the element of fire.
Byakko, also known as Báihǔ, the White Tiger, that reigns to the west, representing autumn and the element of metal.
Genbu, also known as Xuánwǔ, the Black Tortoise, that reigns to the north, representing winter and the element of water.
There is additionally the "Yellow Dragon" Huánglóng in the center, representing the changing of seasons and the element of earth, but is not included in the japanese system, since the fifth element there (void) is usually not represented by anything living.
I also drew a sketch sheet on a more organized version, but I lost the...napkin I drew it on...*cough*.
Edit: For some reason more than one arrow disappeared. There was an arrow going from Fomuna to a Return portrait saying "Created" (Yes, Fomuna created the return spell), and the arrow from Justice to Lapierre also disappeared. Weird.
Minor update, with Dilate, Heierrat, and lots of spoilers.
I lost my previous text, so let's try again.
A quick update, obviously incomplete, but I'm too tired to finish it right now.
I kind of gave up on making it readable, but just set my goal to "add everything and connect", before I re-arrange everything at the end (If you couldn't tell).
I also started compressing it a bit better/worse, because it's obviously getting bigger and bigger (too big for image hosting sites to handle).
Also don't mind that floating Ernst & Zagar Icon, this is in no way related or important and I did not by any means forget to remove it before making an incomplete version...
I also finally managed to translate the remaining important flavor texts, with the help of a very friendly japanese blogger that happens to have a vast collection of 5* cards and a printscreen button.
Oh, and here's proof that I get distracted way too easily, outtakes!
Come to think of it, I never used that second Dark Noze picture...
I DON'T think that's quite right...
Even when tired, still as sophisticated as ever.
That's the most fun part, if I don't like the character title, I just make up my own.

Jellyfish (ship)
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
|Jellyfish prototype
|Vulcan Science Academy
United Federation of Planets
|Missing (2387)
Destroyed (2258)
The Jellyfish was a late-24th century starship commissioned by the Vulcan Science Academy for the transport of red matter. It was described as being "our fastest ship" and featured a unique rotating "tail".
After the ship's commissioning in 2387, Ambassador Spock piloted the ship during his attempt to save the galaxy from destruction by a powerful supernova. Spock took the Jellyfish to inject red matter into the supernova, resulting in the creation of a black hole that would absorb the nova. While the plan succeeded, Spock was unfortunately too late to stop the nova from destroying Romulus. As Spock was attempting to depart, he was intercepted by the Narada, and both ships were pulled into the black hole. The Narada arrived in 2233 and was the catalyst for the alternate reality, whereas the Jellyfish exited some twenty-five years later. Upon capture by Nero, the ship was stored inside the Narada. Nero later ordered the use of the red matter aboard the seized ship to destroy the planet Vulcan.
The ship was later destroyed when Commander Spock was able to retrieve the ship and piloted it on a collision course with the Narada, igniting the red matter. Spock survived the collision, being beamed aboard the USS Enterprise at the last moment. (Star Trek)
The Jellyfish was outfitted with a chamber designed for the safe storage and transport of red matter, as well as a means of extracting the matter for the purposes of its mission. In addition, the ship featured four forward mounted torpedo launchers and a warp drive.
The ship was also equipped with the means to recognize its pilot, Ambassador Spock, via facial recognition and voiceprint analysis. As a result, it welcomed aboard Commander Spock and allowed him to pilot its controls. It was at this point that he realized who must have helped James T. Kirk return to the Enterprise after being marooned on Delta Vega - asked if he would be able to fly the craft, Spock told Kirk that he likely already had. (Star Trek)
The ship is referred to as the Jellyfish in the screenplay. Concept artist Ryan Church envisaged the ship as having a transparent exterior, based on the actual translucent appearance of a jellyfish. Comic book artist Bryan Hitch contributed to the final shape of the ship, taking inspiration from a gyroscope. Church had another idea, of the ship being a cube of pure energy to emphasize its roots in Vulcan science, but J.J. Abrams felt the ship had to have "as much character as Leonard Nimoy had in his face".
Visual effects supervisor Roger Guyett stated that production designer Scott Chambliss envisaged the ship's exterior surface as "sophisticated technology married with organic things". "It might even be a technology Vulcans' 'grow', like a plant of high tensile steel." Guyett also said the ship's warp signature was intended to evoke clean "green" energy, in contrast to the "burned dirty fuel" aesthetic of the Narada. (Star Trek - The Art of the Film)
A dossier on the Star Trek movie website stated that the Jellyfish was a single-occupancy vessel with the maximum warp speed of warp factor 8. [1] According to information on the Blu-ray version, the ship is 178 feet (54.25 meters) long. The white bolts fired by the Jellyfish were identified in the script of Star Trek as torpedoes. [2]
The triangular pilot's chair and circular view screen form the Vulcan IDIC symbol when viewed from the inside, behind the main cockpit area.
Interestingly, the computer aboard the vessel responded to Spock's inquiry in regards to its manufacturing origin using the stardate system of the alternate reality rather than that of its origin (the "prime" reality).
According to the prequel comic Star Trek: Countdown, issue number 3, the Jellyfish was a prototype vessel built to withstand unstable atmospheres. Its designer and original pilot was Geordi La Forge.
Information originally posted on the Star Trek Online main website indicated that the Jellyfish was equipped with trans-metaphasic shielding. The experimental spacecraft was launched from the Daystrom Institute and Starfleet was working with La Forge and the institute to determine if some of the ships systems could be adapted for Federation use. [3] Standard metaphasic shielding has been seen or mentioned in TNG: "Suspicions", "Descent, Part II" and in VOY: "Resistance".

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I was actually on fairly good terms with him, until that sub-par review I gave him in Variety. Talk about snippy."
Making up Cthulhu quotes is a game invented by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred in the year 730 AD as a means of "lightening the mood" while writing his magnum opus, el Azif, later retitled the Necronomicon — and soon to be made available for the first time in paperback, with a foreword by TV weatherman Al Roker. In effect, the light-hearted, often silly game provided him and his family with some much-needed wholesome fun and tension relief during the long hours of recording the abhorrent mystical incantations used to summon a wide variety of ancient otherworldly demons such as Shub-Niggurath; the batlike Nyarlathotep, avatar of the blind idiot-god Azathoth; the infinite Yog-Sothoth; the fun-loving Mazelthoth; and the just-plain-old-boring Thoth. Not to mention the hideous Shoggoths, Visigoths, Nihilist Poseur Goths, Teenage Mutant Ninja Goths, frog-mutants, hamsters, cute puppies, and men in bunny suits mentioned in the terrifying Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Book of Eibon.
This is not to say that the game is without its challenges. Cthulhu's hideously obscene-sounding guttural dialect is nearly unpronounceable by human tongues, so misspellings often occur. Even the most famous saying about Cthulhu, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming"), is often embarrassingly misspelled in such a way as to be translatable as "In a sushi restaurant in R'lyeh topless Cthulhu waits tables."[1]

Made-up Quotes About Cthulhu by Famous People
- "Cthulhu and I had some good times, but we went our separate ways... I had my acting career, and he had his unspeakable death-dreams, asleep in his ancient city beyond the shadowy eons of time."
Angelina Jolie
- "It was kinda fucked up, actually. I was having a can of beer with my cornflakes one morning, and suddenly there's this bright flash, and I'm transported back like, 180,000 years, and I'm in this totally fucked-up-looking city in the middle of, like, Australia or someplace. And then they want me to write down everything I know about modern civilization for some library they've got. So I did. I actually got a pretty good laugh out of it."
Andrew Dice Clay
- "He was a perfect gentleman, if I do say. Dagon, however, was a complete and utter bore."
Oscar Wilde
- "We took a boat out there once to visit him on his birthday. He made cookies for us, even. It was okay, though the cookies were kind of slimy. Oh, and he kept asking us if he could feed off our life-force, which I thought was a bit much, considering all we were getting was some slimy cookies."
The Cure's Robert Smith

Made-up Quotes About Cthulhu by Non-Famous People
- "He helped me get a good deal on supplemental prescription drug insurance, even though I wasn't in the best of health.

But I was still able to save on my prescriptions at the local pharmacy!"
Mildred Kenton, Buffalo, New York

Rob Moogawooga, Platypus God, San Jose, California
Cthulhu, Self-Help Author
Template:QuotesPages In addition, Cthulhu is the author of several published works, most of which are self-help books for upper-level business executives, wealthy investors, and religious leaders. Titles include:
- Cthulhu's Formula for Success: Destroying the Souls of All Who Deny You
- Seven Easy Steps To a Better Eternity of Inconceivable Pain and Torment
- Predicting Global Marketing Trends Through Universal Mind Control
- Waiting For Eons of Eternal Death: The Cthulhu Cure For Sleep Deprivation
- President George W. Bush: An Endless Dream of Torment For the Future
Several of these books contain valuable pearls of wisdom that only Cthulhu could have produced, but since not one person has ever read a single page of any of these books and lived, our only alternative is to make up quotes from them, too.
Cthulhu on Professional Success
- "My way is simple: Ritualistic worship, psionic enslavement, blood sacrifice, and treating all who oppose you with brutal savagery. Simplicity - that's the key to success!"
- "When negotiating with a business rival, always ask yourself three things: First, how powerful is his mind? Second, how powerful is your mind? And third, do either the two minds produce enough psionic theta-waves to satisfy my unquenchable thirst for mind-energy?"
- "Many a fool has sought to oppose my diabolical will, only to find out later that they probably shouldn't have tried to do that."
- "Achieving success is far easier than most humans believe. For example, why did we, the priests of the Elder Gods of this galaxy, succeed where the avatars of the Ancient Old Ones from beyond the stars failed? The answer is absurdly simple: Vast armies of horrifying monsters."
- "Idle hands are Satan's playground, but I prefer to chew them slowly, suck out the good parts, and then just spit out the bones and fingernails."
- "For years, I had terribly low self-esteem, because I couldn't go anywhere without leaving a trail of slime, poisonous fumes, and hideous dead things in my wake. But through the power of positive thinking, I learned that to love yourself you must first know yourself, and understand yourself, and let your hideously mutated frog-like minions clean up all that yucky mess."
Cthulhu on Your Health
- "To obtain a deep, restful, and fulfilling sleep, you must first submerge yourself in your cyclopean city of hideous non-Euclidean geometries beneath the sea, and then let your body die. But don't worry! As long as you continue to emanate enough evil thought-energy to influence and control your many worshippers throughout the untold eons, they will resurrect you when the time comes. I guarantee it!"
- "Sure, I've conducted a centuries-long breeding experiment with controlled gene mutations to transform human populations into slavering amphibious frog-creatures. Who hasn't? Still, it bothers me when people keep referring to them as 'slavering.' I mean, have a little common courtesy, people. They have feelings too."
Cthulhu on Politics
- "I was Bush's biggest supporter, until I realized he was just using me to boost his approval ratings among traditionally Democratic mutant-amphibian voters."
- "I wish I had just one erg of alpha-band energy for every time someone told me they were convinced Dick Cheney and I were the same person. I mean, sure, there's the pure evil thing and all, but I'm so much better-looking."
Cthulhu on... Whatever
- "As I was telling Mrs. Cthulhu the other day, the problem with traveling between stars and planets on the astral-ethereal plane is that you don't get to carry any luggage. That also means no laptop, no DVD's, no USB memory stick, no nothing. So, if you're looking to bang out a quick Excel spreadsheet showing the latest changes in your human-sacrifice per minion rate, in between relaxing ecto-baths with hot Yrgas'fnakh babes on dark Yil-Agaroth, forget about it."
- "In Soviet Russia, horrid green soapstone idol consumes still-beating heart of naked virgin before YOU!!"

Williams College of Business Faculty
The primary purpose of the faculty is to promote learning by business students—in accordance with the Jesuit tradition - that will improve organizations and society. Consequently, student learning is focused on developing six core competencies:
- Critical thinking;
- Making decisions in an ethical manner;
- Effective written and oral communication;
- Using technology as it is used in business;
- Possessing and applying an integrated understanding of the business functional areas; and

Our goal is for all our graduates to achieve their career goals and improve society. For undergraduates, the College builds on Xavier's strong liberal arts program to provide each student with proficiency in each of the core competencies, with excellent technical skills in his or her specific major, and with a successful transition to business. For MBAs, the College strengthens student proficiencies in the core competencies and enhances students' business acumen.
The effectiveness of the faculty in promoting student learning requires that faculty employ a variety of teaching methods; continuously develop their own expertise in pedagogy; and continuously assess and enhance their classes, in terms of both coverage and pedagogy.
Intellectual Contributions
The effectiveness and vitality of the faculty requires that they make regular contributions to the intellectual life of their respective disciplines. Such intellectual contributions are expected to be available for public scrutiny by their academic peers and professionals. Basic research, applied research, and instructional development are all valued. However, because all students in the Williams College of Business are enrolled in either undergraduate or applied Master's programs, our intellectual contributions are predominantly in the areas of applied research and instructional development.
- Applied Scholarship: The application, transfer, and interpretation of knowledge, which focus on the author's discipline, or related disciplines. Generally, the intended audience consists of academics and/or practitioners.
- Instructional Development: The enhancement of the educational value of instructional efforts, either in a particular discipline, or across disciplinary boundaries. Generally, the target audience is academics with a focus on pedagogical enhancement through the advancement and refinement of instructional methods, instructional materials, or addressing other significant issues of importance in business education.
- Basic Scholarship: The advancement of knowledge through the development of new constructs, new models, and/or theories. Generally, the intended audience consists of academics.
Internal Service
Faculty and staff contributions to internal service help ensure that the University and College successfully fulfill their missions and achieve their visions. Consequently, the faculty actively participates in the governance of the university and all College personnel serve as resources for the operation and development of the university by providing expertise and perspective.
External Service
Faculty work with external constituencies enhances
- Economic development and the quality of life, especially in the Cincinnati region; and
- The effectiveness and currency of the faculty.
- Such work includes interactions with alumni, the business community, and advisory groups; as well as providing our expertise and perspective to professional, civic, and academic organizations.
Quick facts about the College
- The Princeton Review lists the Williams College of Business as one of the nation's "Best 301 Business Schools."
- The College is internationally accredited by AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegeiate Business Schools. Only 5 percent of all business schools in the world hold AACSB accreditation - the highest, most rigorous accreditation possible.
- The Executive MBA program is ranked 23rd in the nation in 2012 by U.S. News Media Group.

One of the most challenging decisions new mothers make is deciding when it is okay to leave their newborn with others.
Canadian journalist Rebecca Eckler received first-hand experience when she decided to leave her newborn with her fiancé's mother and nanny to take a 10 week vacation.
"My fiancé runs a charity golf tournament every summer in Mexico," Eckler said. "I will be tagging along, not to golf, but to lie around, read, visit the spa, and eat a lot of guacamole."
Eckler, who wrote about her experience on Mommyish.com found that her vacation time was beneficial for both her and her baby.
"A happy mom makes a happy child and you know your child better than anyone else."
She proudly declared on the website: "Yes, I'm ditching my baby….I think that, even from his early age, I'm teaching him a sense of independence."
Not everyone could empathize with Eckler's choice.

You might call him "Top Dog" of Colorado Springs, after a runner-up placing at Westminster.
Colorado Springs was represented well at the Westminster Kennel Club Tuesday night.
20-month-old Bugaboos Picture Perfect "Swagger" was picked as the runner-up at Madison Square Garden.
"Swagger" is owned and bred by Colton & Heather Johnson and Douglas & Michaelanne Johnson.
The Old English Sheepdog won the Herding Group before heading to Best in Show. He won "Reserve Best In Show" (2nd Place).
We're told he was also picked as People's Choice Best of Show.
His breeder, Douglas Johnson, tells us he was an "underdog" going into the competition.
Wednesday Swagger's breeder came back to Sunrise/Woodmen Kennels with the dog's awards.
Douglas Johnson, Swagger's breeder and owner of the kennels says that Swagger was a "wild card", because he is only 20 months old and has only been showed four times.
Douglas says his winnings were "totally unexpected".
"It was very emotional. We were absolutely surprised and tickled to death.
Somebody captured a picture of us with her yelling and screaming with her arms swaying. Everybody around us was absolutely hysterical," said Douglas Johnson.
Swagger's owners, Colton and Heather Johnson showed Swagger in New York. Colton is the son of Douglas Johnson. The family was overjoyed with Swagger's composure and awards.
He describes Swagger as a very special dog who is very well-composed for his age and lack of experience. He's also known for being very lovable.
"He's a licker. Everybody who came around with Swagger at Westminster Kennel Club, they got kisses," said Johnson.
Swagger is now headed to Denver to compete in another dog show. He is expected back in the Springs on Tuesday.
But, Banana Joe was picked as America's top dog.
The 5-year-old affenpinscher with the monkeylike face and wagging tail earned his 86th best in show, a day before he was set to fly back to the Netherlands with his owner.
Also in the best-of-seven final ring were a German wirehaired pointer ranked as the nation's No. 1 show dog, an American foxhound, a Portuguese water dog, a bichon frise and a smooth fox terrier.
There were 2,721 entries in the 137th Westminster.

It's the end of summer, but many in our area feel like they have a winter cold. Do you have chills, body aches, and a cough? You could have an upper respiratory infection that's getting passed around.
Pitt County doctors say they have been dealing with a spike in upper respiratory infections, but that is actually normal for this time of the year.
Officials at ECU Health Services say because kids are now heading back to school a lot of germs going around. A doctor tells WITN, right now URIs are one of the top 5 things that they are treating students for. ECU senoir Sonjia Flowers says she knows first hand just how bad the bug can be because she's dealing with it right now.
"It's kind of frustrating because you have to miss class to go to the doctor because you're just not feeling good," said Flowers.
Doctors say the best way to avoid getting sick is to wash you hands or use sanitizer, try not to touch door knobs, and don't share food or drinks. The say it's especially important to educate your kids on being healthy as they head back to school. We spoke with several school systems in the east who say they have *not* noticed a spike in absences due to sickness.

Green mountain has a sale on 7.62 blanks $33, ordered a couple Im putting an extension on 1 for AR chambering for it 7.62x25 an doing other one for AK chambering it for 7.62x25
Gunsmith Edition 20" AK Barrel Blank
oh yea here is that extension for AR im using
Les Baer Custom Barrel Extension AR-15 Steel in the White - MidwayUSA
7.62x25 should really have a .308-.309 bore IMOO. I have done a bunch of x25 barrels all of them were done in .308 bore.
I have a few of those blanks and they are what you pay for. IMOO you can do much better using a good take off barrel from a bolt action for a x25 build.
I may chamber one in 7.62x25 and try it just to see how it shoots. and then if its not great I can always rechamber to x39.
why not just make it a blow back??????????? no extension needed. Im not a AR guy so Im not sure whats involved on a blow back AR. I just know that 7.62x25 is super dirty and that the AR system has enough problems with out adding really dirty ammo to the problem.
as dirty as the surplus is (i have rommyand bulgy) Im suprised the gun dosent grind to a halt. seems llike you could get away with out having to buy a standard bold and all that with a blow back. I would not mind having a x25 on a AR would make a nice light fun gun.
I already have an AR that shoots 5.45x39 it would not take long to drop a magwell adapter in and change barrels, The gun shoots surplus 5.45.
The way I think is if a gun wont shoot ANY ammo you put in it, from surplus to the best match grade Im uninterested. you may not always have a choice!
They now have .22s in various twists, .311, .308, 9mm, .451 (.45 ACP), .40, and 6.8mm.
I don't know what you'd do with a 20" long .40 barrel, other than cut it up for three or four pistol barrels. .400 Whelen, maybe?
wow reamers are expensive!

I guess a guy would need a rougher and a finish reamer. ouch

NEW YORK (AP) -- Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. are changing the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas as a result of a California law that mandates drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label.
The companies said the changes will be expanded nationally to streamline their manufacturing processes. They've already been made for drinks sold in California.
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo account for almost 90 percent of the soda market, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest. A representative for Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. said all its caramel coloring now meet the new California standard.
The American Beverage Association, which represents the broader industry, said its member companies will continue to use caramel coloring in certain products but that adjustments were made to meet California's new standard.
"Consumers will notice no difference in our products and have no reason at all for any health concerns," the association said in a statement.
A representative for Coca-Cola, Diana Garza-Ciarlante, said the company directed its caramel suppliers to modify their manufacturing processes to reduce the levels of the chemical 4-methylimidazole, which can be formed during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods.
"While we believe that there is no public health risk that justifies any such change, we did ask our caramel suppliers to take this step so that our products would not be subject to the requirement of a scientifically unfounded warning," Garza-Ciarlante said in an email.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, in February filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of ammonia-sulfite caramel coloring.
A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration said the petition is being reviewed. But he noted that a consumer would have to drink more than 1,000 cans of soda a day to reach the doses administered that have shown links to cancer in rodents.
The American Beverage Association also noted that California added the coloring to its list of carcinogens with no studies showing that it causes cancer in humans. It noted that the listing was based on a single study in lab mice and rats.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Washington Animal Rescue League has a new Pet Of The Week!
Checkmate is a 2-year-old domestic shorthair mix whose name suits him to a T. He is one smart kitty, who knows how to sit on command and even give a high-five (with the proper edible motivator).
WARL says Checkmate is something of a private eye who enjoys investigating his environment. He also loves toys, particularly wand toys.
Although he likes the company of some other cats, he can be overly assertive with them so he would probably do best as a "one and only."
If you're looking for an intellectual feline to share your life, stop by the Washington Animal Rescue League and meet Checkmate.

Finally found goggles that don't hurt my nose
I must have a "between sizes" nose - it's been difficult to find a pair of goggles with a nose bridge that didn't either dig in or lose suction by not fitting my eye spacing. The flexible single piece nose bridge was comfortable and fit properly. The anti-fog coating doesn't seem to last long on these, but it's not like I can get lost in the lap lanes.
Anthony S.
Akron, OH
very comfortable
description of the goggles is completely true. very comfortable and suitable for long traning sessions. furthermore it is mirrored. you can use it inopen water competitions too.
Nice goggles
Perfect fit first time out. First pair I've had that didn't leak or steam up - it was like getting a new pair of glasses for underwater. Strap is ridged to stay where you set it. Really recommend these goggles.
Weak Antifog
Fit was fine ... But, anti-fog brokedown within 2 wks. Good bye clarity -- Hello fog/ steam !!!
Santa Maria
I can't swim 1 lap without the googles getting fogged-up. They fit well...but, still get foggy. Bummer.

- "He doesn't know how the streets work - that he's supposed to report what he's supposed to report."
- — Pulaski about the report.
Snail Trail is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by the C.R.A.S.H. team from Carl's garage in the Doherty district of San Fierro, San Andreas.
Carl goes inside the garage, and is greeted by Jethro. He says that some cops are looking for him in the office. Carl realizes that it is Tenpenny and Pulaski. He is welcomed by them, and they ask him how things are going, and how his brother is doing. Later on, they order Carl to kill a young journalist, who is apparently onto the C.R.A.S.H. officers. Pulaski also tells Carl to kill the reporter who is supposedly going to meet the young journalist at the end of Yacht Harbor in Santa Maria Beach, Los Santos.
Carl heads for and obtains a sniper rifle hidden by Tenpenny at the construction site beside the garage. After so, he heads to Cranberry Station, just across the street from the garage, where the reporter is waiting for a train to board. A little later, the journalist boards the train, and Carl pursuits it. The train stops at Market Station in Market, and the reporter disembarks the train. He then hails and boards a taxi and heads for the end of Yacht Harbor in Santa Maria Beach. Carl discreetly follows him. Once the reporter arrives at his destination, he meets the journalist, and starts talking. However, from a distance, Carl assassinates both the journalist and reporter.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Tenpenny has hidden a sniper rifle in the construction site nearby. Go get it.
- The reporter is at Cranberry Station. Follow him to the meeting place with the Target, then kill them both
- The reporter has boarded the train and is heading for Market Station in Los Santos. Follow that train
- The reporter has left the train. Pick up his trail and follow him to the Target
- The reporter has climbed into a cab. Follow him to the Target
- The reporter is ready to meet the Target. You have a sniper rifle. Assassinate them both
Like all missions in which the boss is C.R.A.S.H., there is no reward, however, the mission Ice Cold Killa is unlocked.
- This is one of a handful of missions where there is no script in the gameplay.
- You can actually board the reporter's train alongside him, and ride it with him to Market Station, simplifying the mission by eliminating the drive. To do so, have a vehicle ready next to you as you pick up the Sniper Rifle and immediately rush to the station and board the train - it arrives and leaves very quickly after you get the gun.
- The PS2 version of the mission has a bizarre glitch: a second passenger train, the one actually carrying the reporter, will appear some distance ahead of the train you're supposed to be following. Keep an eye on the radar for an indication that the reporter is further ahead than the train you're following; that's your signal that you're behind the wrong Brown Streak.
- A second PS2 glitch occasionally prevents the Doherty garage door from opening, allowing access to the vehicles inside following the cutscene.

NOTE: Where the 2013 requirements for a programme differ from those previously published, care will be taken to ensure existing students are not disadvantaged.
Researchers in artificial intelligence are working to develop computer systems that match or exceed the capabilities of the human brain in, for example: learning, the representation of knowledge, reasoning, speech recognition and the use of language, and vision. This has led to many practical developments in the computer industry, including data mining and natural language interfaces to commercial software.
This specialisation will enable you to understand and use and even build your own Artificial Intelligence techniques.
We list the Artificial Intelligence requirements in the form of a "degree planner". Where semesters are shown they refer to the 2013 schedule.
† BCMS regulation 8 requires 50 points from subjects in the field other than the major including at least 20 points above 100 Level. STAT121 will help satisfy these requirements and is strongly recommended in its own right. It also helps students keep their options open for changing to another major with the Faculty if desired.
* For the honours programme, the two 200 level papers in Year 3 must be replaced by an additional two 300 level papers. The Year 4 requirements are COMP520 Report of an Investigation (45 points) plus 5 COMP5XX half papers (15 points each). Permission may be given to include up to 30 points at 500 level from outside Computer Science.
Elective papers may be replaced by papers at a higher level.
Admission to Honours Programme
To be eligible for honours candidates will require an average of B+ in at least 80 points at 300 level in Computer Science papers. This does not apply to double major students, who will be treated separately.

Craft of Argument

Show synopsis This is the top argument rhetoric guide on using the Toulmin system of argument. Written by the authors of such successful composition titles as "Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace "(AWL) and "The Craft of Research" (Chicago UP), "The Craft of Argument" is an argument rhetoric worth looking at! "The Craft of Argument" is based on the Toulmin system of argument" and has a brief selection of readings. Reviewers have raved about the modifications to Toulmin that Williams and Colomb have made, where the authors have streamlined the Toulmin system further than any other book while retaining its fundamental insights, and power. The book also consists of seventeen thoughtfully selected readings, as well as useful writing instructions. A checklist of questions for planning and revising is located in a special section tabbed halfway through the book. This checklist will help readers build stronger arguments by asking them general and detailed (sentence-specific) questions regarding their arguments. Two significant appendices are included for reference: 1) logical fallacies to recognize and avoid, and 2) bibliographic citations (both MLA and APA). For anyone interested in leaning how to construct and write arguments very well.

I wanted my comeback post to be about sunshine and butterflies, but instead – sigh – we're back to that age-old grunting debate. I try to bite my tongue and stay away from the most ridiculous "issue" in tennis, but it just keeps on pullin' me back in. Today the culprit is, amazingly, the WTA itself. After months and even years of (rightfully) placing fingers in ears and humming the grunting criticism away, the tour has finally caved in and is the advanced stages of bringing in new sanctions which will arm WTA umpires with an official 'grunt-o-meter' and the ability to sanction and penalize the noisiest players.
"It's time for us to drive excessive grunting out of the game for future generations," WTA chairman and chief executive Stacey Allaster said.
The umbrella scenario, unanimously green-lighted this month at Roland Garros in Paris by representatives of the four majors, the International Tennis Federation and the WTA players' council, would include:
• The development of a handheld device — a kind of Hawk-Eye for noise — for umpires to objectively measure on-court grunting levels.
• A new rule setting acceptable and non-acceptable noise levels based on acoustical data gathering and analysis.
• Education at large tennis academies, national development programs and at all levels of junior and lower-tier professional events.
Honestly, I don't blame them. What has, on some level, always been a topic of interest and satire in the (mainly British) media, over the past few years has transformed into an unequivocal PR dis-ah-stuh. Seemingly every day a new article is erected, damning the prominent grunters to eternal hell. Meanwhile, comment sections are filled with truly heartwrenching stories by people "forced" to change the channel and/or put their televisions on mute (whatever happened to just turning the volume down a few bars, eh?) due to those evil, godforsaken grunters. So sad.
Even so, I am and continue to be amazed by this entire situation. Just a few weeks ago, we were watching the mens Roland Garros final as Nadal and Djokovic produced noises similar to that of a male getting continually smashed by a baseball bat, you know, down there… Did anyone speak out against them? Nuh-uh. Just a few days earlier, Andy Murray and David Ferrer were doing exactly the same. Did anyone complain there? Err, no. Thus, should this project go ahead, in a few years we will be watching as female players are restricted and penalized for the noise they make, while some of the most prominent male players continue to soar well over those restrictions without so much as a batted eyelid. To me, that is maybe just a little bit problematic. Just a tiny bit.
Of course, many identify pitch (you know, like, different genetics) as the distinction between male and female grunting. That's fair enough from a subjective preference, but noise is noise and if Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka are supposedly cheating as has been so vehemently accused, then in reality Rafael Nadal is a cheat, Novak Djokovic is a cheat, Andy Murray is a cheat, David Ferrer is a cheat and so are the hundreds of other ATP players (and, believe me, there are hundreds) who routinely shout their heads off when making contact with the ball. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of anything.

Allied Health Students Partner with Youth for Marathon Run
Submitted on April 24, 2013 at 12:51 PM
A marathon is a challenge for any athlete. It's even more so when you're trying to sync your running with a partner. Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) students at Volunteer State Community College are doing just that, and in the process learning a lot about their future profession. It's called a Service Learning project. The college students are teaming up with two nonprofit organizations to partner with disabled youth in the Music City Marathon. They'll run with, and push, the youth in wheelchairs along the course for the marathon and half-marathon.
"All of these students are pushed to do something they haven't before - a marathon," said Run, Walk, Wheel and Roll (RWWR) organizer Zac Koffler of Nashville. "It's one thing to run and it's another to push someone while running. The students will be the arms and legs of these young kids."
Koffler is friends with Vol State student Ryan Lombardi. The two came up with the idea for the partnership when the PTA class was considering class projects for the year, under the supervision of PTA program director Carolyn Moore. The Vol State students teamed-up with Koffler's nonprofit group, another organization called Able Youth, and students at the Harris Hillman School in Nashville. They recently gathered to train for the big run. The kids associated with the nonprofits have a variety of conditions and those conditions are ones that the future physical therapist assistants will likely see in their professional life. It makes a fun event also a true learning experience.
"Zac and I talked and we knew this could afford us an opportunity for training as PTAs, by working with kids we may be treating down the road in our career," said Lombardi, who is from Nolensville.
"It's one thing to see a diagnosis in a book," said PTA student Heather Stiles of Cookeville. "Seeing them in person makes a big difference. It helps put everything in perspective."
Nine year-old Faith Everingham is a bit shy when asked about the run. She has Spina Bifida, a developmental disorder that has led to the need for a wheelchair and close medical attention. Her mother Christi says Faith is used to helping people in the medical community.
"She's done model therapy at Belmont for students. It's good for them to learn. She has things you don't see every day. It's good for the students to interact with different kids with different issues."
Savannah Miller has already taken part in a marathon, rolling herself part of the way, and getting help as well. "It makes me feel like I can try my hardest," she said of running with a partner.
The students practice along a paved path at Sevier Park in Nashville. While the running is important to build trust and a rhythm, just as important are the smiles and conversations shared.
"The kids see us more as people," said PTA student Dan Fiste of Sparta. "It's more than just a patient and healthcare provider. It's about caring for people."

As cold, snowy weather turned to rain Wednesday
firefighters in Prince George's County battled a
2-alarm fire and rescued one
WASHINGTON – As cold, snowy weather turned to rain Wednesday afternoon, firefighters in Prince George's County battled a 2-alarm fire and rescued one person.
Firefighters were alerted to the fire around 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 26 at 9133 Edmonston Terrace in Greenbelt. When they arrived, they were able to rescue a man from the 3rd floor of the rear of the apartment building. He wasn't injured.
The fire brought out 50 firefighters and medics and took about 30 minutes to extinguish. A MayDay was declared by one firefighter when he was separated from his crew – but he was immediately located and wasn't injured.
All 30 apartments, with 21 occupied, were displaced. Damage was estimated at $250,000.

Birth Place: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Born Sherri Evonne Shepherd on April 22, 1970 in Chicago, IL, Shepherd and her three sisters were raised by her parents in the all-white suburb of Hoffman Estates. A self-confessed class clown, Shepherd harbored an interest in a performing career from an early age, but her father (a fast food restaurant manager) paid for her to attend a trade college and earn a living as a legal secretary. Her love for comedy, however, was re-ignited after catching Andrew "Dice" Clay in concert. So with the encouragement of friends, she began the brutal practice of playing comedy clubs at night. Shepherd relocated to Los Angeles in the early '90s and quickly found her way into the West Coast stand-up comedy ... Continue Bio >>
