Natasha Stagg: Who did what?
David Lipman: James directed the film and I worked as the creative director. And Sean was the talent. What did we call you Sean? I think we called you the dark angel, right?
Sean Avery: That's what it was, yes. James just somehow associated my being as the dark angel, which, in some cases could be very accurate. Probably aesthetically, certainly that day, how he found me. So, 'the dark angel' was attached and my character was kind of born.
DL: The film was already conceived, and James was looking for some twist. He wasn't happy with it. And I was doing the photographs for the campaign, and I had started with Sean. We gave Sean a black eye and a cut lip, sort of his character in real life. Or, not in real life, but his active life in sports, as a hockey player. We were photographing him in a very homoerotic way. We shot him at one point with white jeans, all the way ripped down, and Sean is incredibly muscular, so a lot of his body was showing. It was very homoerotic, and then James just saw it, and came with a Super 8 camera and started to shoot. He got really into it and started to shoot Sean just randomly, and then the next thing you know they went off, the two of them alone. They disappeared.
SA: I had never met him before. He was super, super interested in what was going on and he had a camera in his hand, and him and David kind of stepped to the side, and then he came over and just started shooting me. There really wasn't any introduction. Like, we said 'hello' quickly, but whatever the two of them talked about, they kind of just went into action.
NS: You guys had chemistry right away.
SA: Yeah. I think that—Yeah.
DL: Sean and James found themselves. At lunchtime that day, [James] goes, 'I have the answer to our film,' knowing Sean's background by that time—the kind of athlete that he was, and the kind of outspoken character that he is. James is quite outspoken as well. So James said, 'This is what will make the film, this is what we're looking for.' And it was about making a very liberal statement at that point.
NS: It ends with a man and a woman getting married.
DL: Yes but there's a flash of Sean in that last scene as well. He's still there, lurking in the background.
SA: I wish more people could understand what went on. For me personally, I had James Franco sort of push my boundaries. There's a point in the kitchen when James is showing me how to kiss a man, and I'm thinking about whether I should do it. Because I know what's gonna happen if I do it. It's something that I've been dealing with for a long time throughout my professional career, because of my position with equality. My position is saying, you know what? I'm gonna take a chance and do something. So, to have James Franco, who's also done that—It started with Milk and obviously now seeing Spring Breakers—probably what is going to go down as one of the most controversial movies that my generation has seen—him giving a gun a blowjob—two guns, actually…
DL: I actually told James this morning I think he topped Travis in Taxi Driver and beat him for best gun scene in a movie ever.
SA: There's no other man in Hollywood that would do that scene at this point in time, right now. I really, really, truly believe that. Nobody would do that except James Franco.
NS: But you would too, right?
SA: Yeah, I think that's where the irony comes in. The two of us worked on a campaign [having had] no idea who each other were.
DL: They had to put it in the film, no matter what—make sure that it lives in the film, not on the cutting room floor.
NS: The kiss?
DL: Mhm.
NS: Sean, how did James Franco teach you how to kiss a guy?
SA: He just told me that it wasn't that hard. He said, just kiss him. And, I thought, you know what? I guess it really isn't that hard. And then a million different images went across my head in that two- or three-second period when I was standing in a kitchen full of people. It was now in front of me; it really was. And he had just done it, because it was acting, and that's what the character called for. So, it was definitely a really interesting moment in my career. I'll say my career because I'm not gonna define it by a sport or by acting or advertising or modeling or anything. It was kind of amazing, really.
DL: James continually surprises me. One week I go see Oz and the next week I go see Spring Breakers [laughs]. And we're going to work on another [film] now. We think we're going to be even more groundbreaking on the next one, which Sean's going to be in again. It's got a whole other story, and it's got a lot of twists and turns. The beauty of James is, he probably the most engaging man—or person—I've ever worked with.
NS: Where does he find the time to do all this?
DL: He doesn't sleep. I mean, I don't sleep: I probably only sleep two and a half hours a night. He probably sleeps a half an hour. But he's much younger than me, so he can get away with it. He does not sleep. This morning he looked like he got some rest, a good three hours sleep.
NS: Will the three of you always be friends?
SA: [laughs]
DL: Absolutely. As they say, best friends forever. I would go through wars and I would go through fires with them, just as much as I would do for my children and the girl I love.
NS: Sean, this film will surely perpetuate rumors about James Franco and about you. How will you deal with that?
SA: I've been dealing with that for twelve years during my NHL career. And it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. What I do, my sexual preference, where I go, who I hang out with, it just doesn't matter. And then the ironic thing about me personally, is, I could kiss a man in a movie and I could turn around and stand up for one of my friends or stop a burglary or stop an armed robbery, probably with my bare hands. So, what does it really matter?
DL: You know, you're probably the first one who's gonna break this story. It's gonna start with V. No one's gone where you've gone, and where you're going, and that's the intent of the film. There are people that watch it and don't even get it.
V followed up with James Franco in Los Angeles.
NS: Was your idea for the film a message about marriage equality?
James Franco: I'm for equal rights for everyone. We were trying to make interesting images.
NS: Where do you see everyone, emotionally, in the end of the film?
JF: I think the film addresses the complex emotions that are involved in any relationship and the way that some relationships kill other relationships.
NS: Sean Avery says you taught him how to kiss a man.
JF: I asked him to do it. There isn't much to it. You realize that it's just like kissing a woman, but there is a rougher texture.

8th Congressional District
The 8th District encompasses about 18 Minnesota counties -- mostly rural and farmland. It includes Duluth, Cloquet, Chisolm, Hibbing, Grand Rapids, International Falls, and Brainerd. The nation's largest deposits of iron here were discovered there in the 1800s -- thus the nickname "Iron Range" that is bestowed upon much of the region. This has been a DFL district for generations, and Rep. Jim Oberstar has held the seat since 1974.

Quinacridone Red is a high performance, transparent pigment with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192). Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
Quinacridone Violet has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.

Fordham Celebrates Year of Double-Digit Fulbright Winners
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
(212) 636-7175
The 2012-13 academic year proved to be a stellar one for Fordham students and the Campion Institute and Office of Prestigious Scholarships, pulling in 12 Fulbright awards and achieving the highest success rate since 2010.
As of June 26, seven students won English Teaching Assistantships (ETA), three students won research and study grants, and two students won the relatively new Public Policy Fellowship. The 12 winners came from a pool of 43 applicants, for a yield rate of 26 percent.
Nationally, 1,820 winners were selected from approximately 9,428 applicants.
"We had students who were very well prepared, who put a lot of time and effort into crafting their applications," Rebecca Stark-Gendrano, Fulbright Fellowship coordinator, said about this year's winners. "And we're pulling students from a broad range of schools across the University, especially making a push to encourage graduate students to apply. I think that's helped to improve the diversity of our applicants."
Fordham's 2010 achievement of 13 Fulbright winners placed the University at No. 18 on the
Chronicle of Higher Education's
annual list of top Fulbright-producing institutions in the category of doctoral/research institutions—up from No. 28 the previous year.
Although Fordham's rank dropped last year, this year's return to double-digits promises a leap back toward the top of the list.
And that's not an easy feat, Stark-Gendrano said.
"The Fulbright competition isn't really one competition—it's more like 150 competitions, with the final decision being made by each country," she said.
The work begins for students more than a year prior to when winners are announced. Applicants begin the process early in the spring semester and then hit full speed during the summer, when they begin drafting application essays. In the fall, each applicant undergoes on-campus interviews with a campus review committee. Those who are applying to non-English-speaking countries must also complete an interview in their country's language to prove a certain level of proficiency.
Following the campus review, candidates then advance to the national screening committee and are notified during the winter whether they will be moving on to the final round. The host countries make the final decision by late spring or early summer.
"There are a lot of factors that go into these decisions," Stark-Gendrano said. "The selection of a candidate can depend on their academic preparation, how many other candidates are pursuing fellowships in that country, or the diversity of the applicant pool."
Even so, she said, a high caliber of applicants and a mission consonant with the Fulbright program help make Fordham candidates successful.
"There's a nice overlap between the Fulbright mission to increase mutual understanding among nations and Fordham's Jesuit emphasis on social justice and creating men and women for others," she said.
Fordham's winners are:
Asmaa Awad-Farid
, GSE '13, ETA to Israel;
Lucy Barnhouse
, GSAS '16, to Germany for her project, "Hospitals as Religious Institutions and the Medieval Treatment of Leprosy: Mainz, 1244-1";
Matthew Briel
, GSAS '15, to Austria for his project, "Bridging East and West: Gennadios Scholarios on Providence and Human Freedom";
Jayson Browder
, PCS '13, ETA to Turkey;
Anne Buckel
, FCRH '13, ETA to Vietnam;
Sean Cox
, GSAS '13, a Public Policy Fellowship in Guatemala's Ministry of Agriculture;
Sara Lynch
, FRCH '11, ETA to Colombia;
Kelly O'Brien
, FCRH '13, to Canada for her project, "Contents Under Pressure: The Ethics of Graffiti and Advertising";
Andrew Palomo
, GSS '16, a Public Policy Fellowship in Guatemala's Ministry of Education;
AnnaMaria Shaker
, FCRH '13, ETA to Morocco;
Anjanae Wilson
, GSS '13, ETA to Brazil; and
Nusrat Jahan
, FCLC '13, ETA to Bangladesh.
In addition,
Kathleen Glatthaar
, FCRH '12, GSE '13 received an ETA to Austria under the auspices of the Fulbright program and the Austrian-American Educational Commission.
One student was also named as Fulbright alternate:
Evangelos Razis
, FCLC '13, to Singapore for his research project, "Politics of Financial Speculation: A Case Study of Singapore's Housing Markets."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

New Criminal Justice Fast Track Degrees at Vol State
Submitted on December 05, 2012 at 6:35 PM
The Criminal Justice program at Volunteer State Community College is expanding its offerings, with a new associate degree Fast Track program starting this spring semester. The associate of science (A.S.) and associate of applied science (A.A.S) degrees offer two different paths for students.
"The primary difference between the two is that the A.S. degree is designed for transfer to a four-year college," said instructor James Brown. "The A.A.S degree is for someone who wants to go straight into the workplace."
Vol State already has a popular certificate Fast Track program in Criminal Justice. That certificate can now also be earned on the way to the full degree. The Fast Track programs are unique.
"Fast Track gives students an exact roadmap of what classes they need to take. Students take those classes as part of a group, which helps them make friends and build relationships. That helps them academically," said Brown. "Fast Track also is quicker to completion, compared to what the program usually takes in length for most students in our traditional Criminal Justice program."
The program is individually tailored to match the students' academic needs. That means there may be other courses needed to complete the degree. Students are advised to see a Criminal Justice advisor as soon as possible to map out a plan. Contact James Brown at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 615-230-3787. Spring classes start the week of January 17. New students will need to apply to the college. That can be done by visiting www.volstate.edu/admissions.

Learn how to write both adult fiction and nonfiction in our writing course called Breaking into Print™. Our instructors are professional writers and editors who develop teaching plans for your individual needs and goals.
Before you consider the possibility of putting your writing aspirations, and some cherished hopes and dreams, into the hands of a writing school, it is advisable to determine that the school's credentials are solid. This advice applies to any school, including ours: It's important to have clear evidence that the school you select is professionally qualified and approved by official educational and business organizations, and that it has the good will of its students and graduates. Following are credentials that Long Ridge Writers Group and our program, Breaking into Print, have established over the years since our founding in 1989.
Official State Educational Approval
Our course, as well as our organization, its business practices, and our educational program, is approved by the Connecticut Commissioner of Higher Education, which is the authority that licenses all proprietary schools, technical institutes, junior colleges, colleges, and universities in the state of Connecticut, including Yale and the University of Connecticut.
High Satisfaction Ratings
Of 1,400 colleges and universities surveyed over several years by U.S. News & World Report magazine, the highest-ranking institution, in terms of student satisfaction, scored 73%. By comparison, 89.7% of those who recently completed our program report that they were "very satisfied"; 98% "would do it all over again"; and 97.7% "would recommend our program to a good friend."
100% Money-back Satisfaction Guarantee

All of our instructors are highly professional published writers or editors whom we have trained to teach our program. They have written more than 20,000 stories and articles that have appeared in a wide range of national magazines and newspapers, and on the Internet. They have also published over 900 books.
Personal One-on-One Instruction
Each student is assigned to his or her own personal instructor and they work together, one-on-one, for the duration of the course. This tutorial technique has been used exclusively because it has proved to be the most effective method ever developed to teach people how to write for publication.
Verification from Our Students
Hundreds of current and former students in the U.S. and Canada have volunteered to give new applicants the benefit of their experience in the program. If you pass our test, call our Information Services toll-free at 800-624-1476 for the names and addresses of students in your area you may contact.

Colorado Springs police say a murder case from 1976 has been solved thanks to DNA evidence.
On Dec. 3, 1976 Janet K. Conrad was murdered at the Antlers Hotel. She was found dead in a 10th floor laundry room.
Investigators collected evidence but could never find a suspect. In 2009 Colorado Springs police received a grant to start working "cold" sexual assault and homicide cases.
With the help of that money DNA matched Robert Baillie, 58, who is currently serving a sentence for sexual assault at the prison in Cañon City.

Talk:Flying Thunder God Technique
Back to page
this wiki
Kanji on Technique Formula
Can someone translate the kanji on the technique formula on this pic? I could only make out the first kanji 忍 (nin, endure) and last 絶 (zetsu, absolute). Can't tell the second one if it's awakening (kaku, as in kakusei), and the third seems to have something to do with talisman. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 19:37, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Check this out. Skitts (talk) 19:40, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. But I checked a little more, and I think I have the basic boiled down to this: the second kanji is kaku 覚, third is fu 符, and the last is zetsu 絶. Nikaku Fuzetsu (忍覚符絶, Literally meaning: Endurance Awakening Talisman Absolute)? I already left this translation at ShounenSuki's page, but still, here would be a possible for everyone to determine its validity. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 19:49, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Because Kanji is japanese using chinese symbols for literally the exact same words, I used google translate to get the symbols. The 2nd kanji isn't 覚 meaning awakening. What I got was 忍交符绝, which if you take those and put them into google translate and translate either detect language or chinese into english you get Endure Cross Symbol Absolutely. Now I'm not saying that's EXACTLY what it is, because I don't know how to read Japanese or Chinese. I went to this site, http://www.saiga-jp.com/language/kanji_list.html, and looked at all the Kanji they had. The closest one to the 2nd kanji for the FTG formula I found in the 2nd grade set. Where it says "Grade 2 (160 characters) available contents: basic informations, stroke order image, pronunciation audio", right at the edge of the light blue box, go to the 3rd Kanji on the right past the box and you get 交. Now I down't know what these are pronounced as in japanese, but Cross actually sounds fitting due to the use of this technique. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:55, November 16, 2012 (UTC) Connor 9:54, November 16, 2012 UTC-06:00

Picture Slideshow
Why are we using that slideshow? The first and second pictures are at angles that do not properly show Minato teleporting. The one where he teleported to Mahiru's foot is more accurate. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 08:00, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- The single image of his with his hand on Mahiru's foot O.o? I know that the sequence in there now is not the best to illustrate the technique (this would be one of the only times I'd support us using .gifs) but one image can and probably will never, properly display the technique.--Cerez365™ 12:06, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- How about one image of Mahiru alone, then the next, Minato teleports to his foot? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 23:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the scene doesn't play out like that in the anime, as the beginning of that particular event is depicted in close-up, so currently the sequence that is being used is the most viable one. Other than waiting for the scene where Minato confronts A, there is little alternative than to stick with what's already there, although maybe the addition of some concise descriptions to the images could help clarify what is actually occurring. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:54, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I was also waiting on the A vs. Minato clash to see if better series of images could come from there since that's the best scene(s) with them. So why not simply use them now? I know it's been depicted in the anime, but those images show the technique best.--Cerez365™ 01:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I didn't watch that two-parter close enough to notice, so let's wait for A vs Minato and hope for the best there. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 02:31, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I was also waiting on the A vs. Minato clash to see if better series of images could come from there since that's the best scene(s) with them. So why not simply use them now? I know it's been depicted in the anime, but those images show the technique best.--Cerez365™ 01:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Yes but what about changing it now O.o It'd look like this:Much easier to follow and such ye?--Cerez365™ 02:42, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Not enough background, looks like its from 3 different chapters. --Gojita (talk) 13:26, March 12, 2012 (UTC)Gojita
- Cerez's gallery seems best. Looks like a good display/summary of the technique to me Skitts (talk) 14:47, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not too sure, as I think the flow of either sequence suffers greatly from the severe angle changes that are present in both, meaning that someone's preference becomes more dependent upon how acquainted they are with the particular scenes. It's a shame that the "two steps" of the technique haven't been clarified, as the inclusion of short descriptions could have really helped. Blackstar1 (talk) 15:47, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Not too sure what "not enough background" means O.o People are already (or at least should be) well acquainted with how the technique works given that it has appeared in all Naruto-related mediums. This is simply a case where we'd use manga images to depict the sequence of event which could be aided by descriptions with the images: "Minato scatters his kunai over the battlefield" "is able to move from one location to another marked location" etc for example. It's a bit regressive, but with the policy that prohibits the use of .gif files, I don't think any of the current images can "really" show the technique.--Cerez365™ 16:33, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Well if concise descriptions are to be included, then I'm fine with using the manga sequence, given that it has better clarity and that I'm under the impression it depicts how Minato is implied to typically employ the technique (i.e. scattering numerous kunai). Blackstar1 (talk) 16:59, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Trivia point
So I'm not sure, maybe I'm interpreting it wrongly (and I don't think asking the author will help much) but is there a point to having a trivia point that says:
"In the games, most of Minato's ultimate techniques involves teleporting behind his opponent using Rasengan."
I mean, isn't that Minato's whole fighting style O.o.--Cerez365™ 00:48, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Hiraishin Lv 2
should we add in the trivia section that in the indonesian version of the volume, there is hiraishin lv 2..?? [1] [2]
minato says "inilah hiraishin level dua (english: that(this) was hiraishin lv 2)"...
sorry for my bad english... ^.^ 126.96.36.199 (talk) 09:57, March 18, 2012 (UTC)Jengkol
- All versions said that. It was a mistranslation that was cleared up here.--Cerez365™ 10:17, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
random here just wanna add how the flying thunder god jutsu seems to be more about reverse summoning than anything else mentioned in its article.—This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
- Okay. What is in the article is pretty much a direct translation from the databook.--Cerez365™(talk) 09:31, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering on the Users of the technique
Didn't Naruto use this in chapter 544? or was that something else?—This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
No Naruto didn't use hiraishin no jutsu, he just used the immense amount of speed granted by the 9-tails chakra mode. Yamato just likened it to the hiraishin no jutsu.22.214.171.124 (talk) 09:37, September 14, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
I disagree. I think Naruto did use it. He learned it from his dad during their time together. Both Tsunade and Bee thought it looked "just like a yellow flash". I'm sure A fought with many Jinchurikis before, first example being Bee himself who has an excellent bond with Hachibi, yet it is still said "naruto is the second to ever evade it". Therefore I think it's no coincidence, speed and Biju power isn't enough to dodge it - Naruto can not only USE flying thunder god, he perfected it (like he did with Rasengan, his dad's other S-level technique) 220.127.116.11 (talk) 10:49, November 28, 2012 (UTC) Kobi Mangafan
- The Flying thunder god technique requires a seal at the place where the user wants to go. Naruto hasn't placed out any seals.
- The Flying thunder god technique summons a person to the seal, thus no movement and no flash.
- Minato didn't get the nickname "yellow flash" from using the Flying thunder god technique, but from his "normal" speed. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 11:19, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
It was just a body flicker my god...--Elveonora (talk) 19:08, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Level 2 and game
So, I was checking new gameplay video, and it seems that, at least for video game purposes, they do consider the "level 2" a different technique, it's Minato's ninjutsu during awakenings in UNS3. They called it "Flying Raijin: Second Stage", that's probably 飛雷神二の段, which we would translate as "Flying Thunder God: Second Step". Looks like the same thing he did against Obito, the action in the video was a bit fast, but that's what it looked like. That'll probably be created for video game, but the question is, do we consider it a separate technique manga and anime wise as well? I know we always considered it just an explanation of the technique itself. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:10, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Anyone? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:46, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
No, "Flying Thunder God Technique Level 2" sounds stupid as an article. But if a videogame names them separately, we will do so... so canonical article nope, but two game articles yep if that bothers you ;)--Elveonora (talk) 23:19, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
- The video game technique "Flying Thunder God: Sequential Steps" was most likely named after what the manga called "Flying Thunder God: Second Step". It wouldn't be anything "new". What I wonder is if we should do like it was done with Sasori. There were at least a few of his techniques in the manga and anime that were never named, but named in the video games, so those were used. I don't know if they were considered techniques in their own right before the games came out, that happened way before I knew what Naruto was. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:45, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Those 2 Sasori's techniques were unique, this is flying thunder god no matters how you look at it. Would be like making a separate article for the ranged variant of Rasenshuriken. Also what about this? http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Flying_Thunder_God_Technique/Archive_1#About_the_so-called_Hiraishin_Level_2 --Elveonora (talk) 01:31, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
I don't know. I liken it to when one technique is used a new way and although the newly named technique is simply a different way to use the very same technique. I think of it like the naruto uzumaki 2k barrage vs the original naruto uzumaki barrage.126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:50, November 7, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
If the game lists it as a technique then I believe we should add it as a game technique without letting one media colour the other. Maybe make a note that in the canon series it's a misconception about the "two steps" and such.--Cerez365™(talk) 08:33, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
How does he know when to dodge the attack of a lightning-fast punch from A? Minato may be fast, but it dosen't increase his reflexes.--Aeonophic (talk) 21:25, November 18, 2012 (UTC)Aeonophic
- It gives him the advantage by only requiring him to notice the attack is coming, not try and maneuver out of the way, the seal does it for him. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 21:45, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
- He dodges it at the last possible moment. Though Minato has good reflexes, it's not something that he does reflex-wise, to me at least, it seems as though, A was simply an inch away from punching Minato and the speed of his technique allowed him to fly in that short gap of time.--Cerez365™(talk) 21:46, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
ya know in the first episode and chapter of the series, in the very beginning; Minato and Gamabuna are briefly shown fighting Kurama.. and theres a bright flash ending the flashback.. so im pretty sure that is the first official debut of Hiraishin.--RexGodwin (talk) 05:11, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Except Hiraishin doesn't give off light. A bit in the games, but not in the manga and anime. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:09, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

WASHINGTON – The North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled fighter jets Thursday night after an unruly passengers on a United Airlines flight from Denver forced the flight crew to declare an emergency.
Flight 662 landed safely at Dulles International Airport,
A NORAD spokesperson tells WTOP military jets were scrambled but the jets did not escort the plane to Dulles.
The unruly passenger refused to follow instructions for landing, United Airlines tells WTOP.
The spokesperson referred further questions to the Federal Aviation Administration. WTOP called the FAA but the calls have not been returned.
Two passengers who were on board the flight, Christopher Haag and a woman who preferred to remain anonymous, tell WTOP the man refused to follow a flight attendant's instructions for landing.
They say the man was yelling and praying in the aisle.
"Apparently at some point there he refused to sit down when the stewardess told him, and that was about the time we were coming in for approach," Haag tells WTOP.
"And then I guess she finally got him to sit down. He got back up, then he was mumbling, then kneeled down in the aisle and he started to pray, and about that time a bunch of other passengers went back and they subdued him."
The woman who spoke with WTOP said the flight attendant "basically held him down in the aisle while we landed. It was an emergency landing. It was straight, very fast taxi to the gate.
"There was a bunch of emergency vehicles at the gate when we got there. As soon as we got the door open, a lot of cops came on board."
The unruly passenger was reportedly strapped down and taken away from the gate in a wheel chair and then to a hospital for a "medical issue."

Before I get started, full disclosure: I haven't shaved or depilated anything in nine years and I just don't come in contact with much advertising. (It's amazing what you miss when you fast-forward through commercials and don't buy mainstream magazines.)
That being said, I am appalled by Nair's new ad campaign.
So you're at an age when the childhood fuzz is becoming thicker and coarser hair. It's time to give some serious thought to removing it. But you'll soon see, getting smooth, silky skin with Nair® depilatories is simple and a fun way to treat yourself right!
(Emphasis added.)
Nair is marketing Nair Pretty to girls between the ages of ten and fifteen. The advertisements can be found in magazines such as CosmoGirl, Seventeen and Redbook. Why Redbook? So mothers of girls in the target age group can buy this product for their daughters, of course.
How wrong is this? If someone wants to remove her/his body hair that's one thing and there's certainly nothing wrong with it. It's something completely different to suggest that women must remove all hair the moment it stops being "childhood fuzz." Going through Nair's site it's obvious that "treating yourself right" means conforming to someone else's standard's of beauty. I think it's worth mentioning that in this instance the someone else stands to make money if young women do indeed conform.
What stands out to me is that nowhere on their site is keeping your body hair listed as an option. It is assumed that young women will remove their hair one way or another but preferably with Nair's product. In other words, women do not have the option to enjoy their bodies as they come but must put time, effort and cash into making their bodies meet someone else's standards. While the current trend is toward hair removal and much of the media portrays hairlessness as highly attractive, I didn't realize women no longer had any other options.
At the message boards I see lots of people trying to figure out how to accept themselves and their bodies. A lot of the teens that come here have questions about what's normal and what other people find attractive. What we try to do is encourage everyone to love themselves as is, without forcing themselves into stereotypes or trends. Nair has chosen to target people who are just beginning that process and instead of offering one option among many, they present female body hair as unnatural and unattractive -- something to be dealt with as soon as possible. Apparently it's all too easy to forget (or just plain ignore) that hair is perfectly natural and the most attractive people are usually the ones who feel comfortable with their bodies.
How did you reach the stage of feeling truly comfortable with all your hair? I don't mean to sound rude by asking this, but given the reactions and attitudes of the general public (plus advertising which can't be avoided; in shops, cinemas, bottles of shampoo), I find it difficult to see how any woman can truly resist the ideal of a 'sexy', attractive woman as one who is (preferably) shaven/ hairless in several expected areas? I quite love the idea of just not bothering with it, but I doubt I'd ever manage. People just expect you to always do it... Plus, with regards to underarm hair and pubic hair (particularly during oral sex, if one wishes) then it can also be more hygenic to remove hair?
You know, it's more about being comfortable with my body than anything else. I love my body and my body grows hair so that's good enough for me. Something else that helped is when I did stop shaving: not too many people noticed and even fewer cared. It's easy to assume everyone is scrutinizing us, but I routinely wear shorts that do not hide the thick, dark hair on my legs without attracting attention. Another thing, if you agree that smooth skin is sexy that's okay. While I totally agree that the media shoves that ideal down our throats, that doesn't mean it's wrong be attracted to that image. I personally find hair more attractive and that's part of the reason I choose to leave mine on my body. As far as hygiene goes, there's nothing terribly hygienic about open nicks and cuts. In fact, pubic hair helps prevent things like underwear fuzz and such from entering the vagina, much like eyebrows help prevent things from getting in our eyes.

When you want to create a page, click the "Contribute", which appears on the upper right of (alomst) every page in the Wiki. It will show you several options, click "Add a Page", and then you can also name the article you want to create. After you did all these actions, start editing! -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:31, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to the Wiki, Thomas. You're the first "newbie" on the wiki who actually adds quality articles without major mistakes. Keep it on, and maybe, you'll be promoted to patroller soon!Dodo8 Talk
I remember Ilan told me you need at least 200, so you're OK. You can apply. You should ask an admin first, though.Dodo8 Talk
The size of the images doesn't matter. In case is too large you can resize it by using the template. There is the size section and you can add 300px for example. About the patrollership, I will apply for admin so I can make space for you but I'm not sure. Last time (3 weeks ago) half of the staff said I needed to be civil. I think you can apply anyway. You can apply here in the active requests section.Dodo8 Talk
You might have seen that i had an unsuccesfull request because of my fight with 2 newbies. I understand my mistake now, and anyway it wouldn't be the case, you're a pro! And don't take my help as a bribe to vote yes on my next request, I did help you because you deserve it. About Mikey and Ilan, I'll talk to them.Dodo8 Talk
Oh, so you speak Portuguese? Mikey and Istalo do too! I speak Romanian (which is a Latin language) and English, dad said he wants me to speak German (I also want), I understand Spanish (80%) and can correlate some words, I learn French at school but the teacher is too bad and I don't understand anything, I partially understand Portuguese (50-60%) and Italian (60-70%).Dodo8 Talk
Oh, and I also play Football at school, but the boys who play better don't pass me the ball, so I'm pretty bad at it. But I'm good at penalties.Dodo8 Talk

Don't worry, the page "Jive Drive" has not been erased, it just a little "glitch/bug" on Wikia which may "blank" certain pages in front of the reader, but coming across the page again, or entering the page's history, and the page will return to its original appearance. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:19, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 21:45, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
First thing first, you have to remain civil; don't call him and idiot and ignore everything he says. Secondly, all of his edits have been reverted, so this little fight with him is done, for now. As for "keeping him out the Wiki", kinda impossible, as he can just come back with a new account on a different computer, unless you want to call a cyber police force to hunt him down -- I'm joking. But seriously, anytime he would come back, just ignore what he says and revert his edits. Then report him to either me, Mikey, Vaulty or any other admin and he's blocked. -- `ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 12:10, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
Ola Tomás.
Isto é um bocado mais sério:
Há uns anos atrás, havia um vandâlo aqui na GTA Wiki, que vandalizava páginas, não me lembro bem por quê, acho que teve uma discussão com um dos administradores, ou uma coisa assim, e começou a fazer porcaria aqui e desde que isso aconteceu que aparece cá, volta e meia com novas contas, só para vandalizar. E depois criou a GTA 5 Wiki, onde retirou toda a informação que tinhamios cá sobre o GTA V para levar lá para a Wiki dele.
Ele só faz treta...nós bloqueamos as inúmeras contas dele, mas ele aparece sempre e como o Ilan disse, não podemos mantê-lo fora da Wiki para sempre...
Mas nós temos de estar sempre atentos.
Obrigado por tentares ajudar, Tomás, a tua ajuda é muito apreciada. :)
Até à próxima vez,
Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 12:21, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
Temos feito a mesma coisa: banir as contas dele e esperar ela próxima conta dele...
Sim, acho que a GTA V Wiki ainda existe, eu falei com a Wikia por e-mail para apagarem-na, mas não o fizeram.
Aqui tens o endereço: http://gtav.wikia.com/wiki/GTA_V_Wiki.
E Tomás, a esta gente o vandalismo é normal, corre-lhes nas veias. O que temos de fazer é tentar calcular de que tempo a que tempo e que eles aparecem e prestar muita atenção às mudanças nas páginas.

Later, VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 16:41, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
If you see a vandal like the one from the other day, what you do is you report him to all the bureaucrats and administrators. The more people who can block you report to, the sooner it's likely to be cleaned up. Other than that, don't try to talk to the vandal, don't let the vandal see you get angry, don't do anything that would involve paying any attention to him aside from reporting him. And if he reverts the reports, don't worry about that - we'll still see the "you have new messages" message and see what's going on. I don't usually link to Wikipedia, but in the case of this particular guy I think their rule WP:DENY is the best one to follow. Jeff (talk|stalk) 00:54, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
Hey, Thomas. Would you mind to vote on my req? Dodo8 Talk
RE: Edit
Good that you like the Userbox. The reason I reverted it is because when you wrote it, you made it say about them being useable twice, meaning it didn't make sense. VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 14:05, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and in California, massive heat waves and even a monsoon is going to hit my town next week. It'll be a 125 degrees starting this Thursday and hopefully cools down a little when the monsoon hits.
Mr. T., That's Me! (talk) 00:03, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Where I live, the land is about 950+ feet below sea level, plus the Southern California region is mostly desert and agricultural land. The heat can be a good thing because we have a river that boarders California and Arizona, which is the common relaxation point and more swimming and etc. At your city of St. Vith where it rains and it never hot, you're lucky you live there. My region; the A.C.s in houses is a frequent thing to keep your house cool!
- Mr. T., That's Me! (talk) 22:08, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Honestly, I'm used to the heat. While most people complain about the heat, I kind of actually don't mind it. Your weather, on the other hand, like you said, beautiful rain and breeze. I'm jealous!:P. It's really rare that Blythe get cool weather, even in the Winter season; it's cold at night but in the day, hot like summer!
- Mr. T., That's Me! (talk) 22:26, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

- Mr. T., That's Me! (talk) 22:43, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
- SoCal and Arizona are the best warm places to live. If you are planning to move to a warmer place, it might take you a while to adapt the humidity on the place where you live. I mean, you say that cold and rain blows and you want to move to the warmer regions, but after you get used to the cold and rain and then you move to somewhere warm and fuzzy (i.e. the Sahara Desert [lol]), it'll take you about a few months to adapt.

Kanye West Pulled Over For Speeding
Kanye West is on the fast track with more than just Kim Kardashian.
--The rapper, who earlier this week announced he's expecting a baby with the reality-TV star, was pulled over by West Hollywood police late Wednesday night outside Chateau Marmont for allegedly speeding and having tinted windows, reports E! News.
--West was apparently driving Kardashian's Mercedes Benz G63 SUV.
--Lucky for him, police let the rapper off with a warning.
Patrick Dempsey Buys a Coffee Chain
Actor Patrick Dempsey said it appears his bid to buy a small coffee chain has prevailed in a bankruptcy auction.
--Late Thursday night, Dempsey announced that his company, Global Baristas LLC, made the winning bid for Tully's Coffee. He noted in a KOMO-TV interview that a bankruptcy judge will have the final say on Jan. 11. Still, Dempsey tweeted "We got it! Thank you Seattle!"
--"I'm thrilled that we won and I'm even more excited about saving Tully's Coffee and its hundreds of jobs," he said.
--Tully's Coffee has 47 company-owned locations in Washington and California. The company, with more than 500 employees, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.
Britney Spears Is Rich
In case you're wondering ... Britney Spears is loaded ... in a good way.
--The judge in Britney's conservatorship case issued an order -- obtained by TMZ --which says just SOME of Britney's assets total more than $27 million ... and that's as of Jan 1, 2011. As you know, she's made a bundle since then -- including $15 mil on "X Factor."
--On top of that ... Britney has several trusts which are worth many millions of bucks and are not reflected in the judge's total.
"Star Wars" Creator George Lucas is Engaged
A spokeswoman for Lucasfilm Ltd. says the 68-year-old director is engaged to 43-year-old investment firm president Mellody Hobson. No other details were provided.
--Hobson serves as chairman of DreamWorks Animation and is a financial contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America."
--Lucas has three children: Amanda, Katie and Jett. He was previously married to film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983.
--Lucas helped to launch the modern blockbuster age with his "Star Wars" sagas and "Indiana Jones" adventures. The original "Star Wars" still stands as the No. 2 film in terms of tickets sold domestically, behind only "Gone with the Wind."
--Disney completed its acquisition of Lucasfilm and the "Star Wars" franchise from Lucas for $4.06 billion in cash and stock last month.
Madonna Stalker Sentenced
A former firefighter with a crush on Madonna has been sentenced to three years' probation for resisting arrest outside the singer's New York City apartment building.
--Robert Linhart was convicted in November after being twice arrested in September 2010.
--Police say the then-59-year-old Linhart was nabbed after he parked his SUV outside the Material Girl's former Manhattan apartment and spray-painted love notes on poster boards. He returned a few days later and was arrested again.
--His attorney had argued that it was no crime to adore Madonna, the singer of pop hits including "Like a Virgin" who performed at last year's Super Bowl halftime game.
--The judge on Wednesday also ordered Linhart to attend anger management sessions.
--Attorney Lawrence LaBrew tells the Daily News that Linhart is appealing the conviction.

Yes, I know. But so many things begin with good intentions.
Take another current topic: adoption. What began as a good intention to try and create stable, integrated adoption (and also fostering) placements by taking into consideration the ethnic and cultural needs of the child has become a millstone around everyone's necks who attempts to adopt or foster a child (or place the child). So the law is being changed to release the whole system from the stranglehold of cultural/ethnic consideration and bring the focus back on to the more important needs of the child (love, care, stability, safety, etc).
Leveson can have all the good intentions in the world but that does not mean to say that 20, 30 years down the line the government of the day will share those good intentions, especially if there is a scandal or two along the way. Once the path has been set to regulate the press by statute, it will be that much easier for that same statute to be tweaked either by Parliament or the courts or by precedent over time. It is looking into the future and where this could end up that is the wisdom here.
So you're outraged that the broadcast media is subject to far, far stricter controls than anything being hinted at by Leveson?

Elizabeth City police plan to blow the dust off the city's only wheel boot to try to deal with the growing problem of unpaid parking tickets.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Virginia, reported that the city has almost 1,300 delinquent citations with fines totaling about $14,000.
The city last used the wheel boot 24 years ago, in 1989, when it was new.
Ticket fines in Elizabeth City are $10 for exceeding the two-hour limit, $15 for blocking a loading zone and $50 for filling a handicap spot.
Officer Carethia Brown says the driver most likely to get the wheel boot first is a man who drives a Lincoln registered to his grandmother in New York. Brown says the man has 21 unpaid tickets.

San Francisco, CA, May 14, 2009—(PR.com)—CREDO Mobile, as America's greenest mobile phone company, is collaborating with Carbonfund.org to offset the estimated lifetime electrical usage and shipping of all new and refurbished cell phones sold in 2009.
CREDO is also working with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon footprint of its San Francisco headquarters.
"We're the only phone company that is advocating to lower global warming emissions in our country by 80% by 2050," said CREDO Mobile Chief Executive Officer Laura Scher. "And we're especially proud to be working with an organization that identifies and invests in projects whose impacts will be seen not only in our lifetimes but in generations to come."
CREDO has a long history of environmental advocacy and activism. It is the only U.S. phone company to donate over $60 million to environmental and progressive nonprofit groups like Greenpeace, Planned Parenthood and Ocean Conservancy. CREDO's customers have pushed Congress to pass the first increase in fuel-economy standards in two decades, put a halt to over 50 coal-fired power plants and urged Congress to renew tax breaks for clean energy. More recently, CREDO participated in Power Shift '09, which brought 12,000 young people to Washington, D.C. to encourage government leaders to support clean energy policies. CREDO was also named the Environmental Business of the Year in 2009 by the Planning and Conservation League, a respected environmental nonprofit.
"We are proud to continue our partnership with CREDO Mobile, an industry leader with a steadfast commitment to the environment and social justice issues," said Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org. "As global warming affects all of us, CREDO Mobile provides a means for cell phone users to reduce their carbon footprint and support critical third-party verified projects that are having an impact on global warming today."
To offset through Carbonfund.org the lifetime usage (estimated at three years) and shipping of all new and refurbished handsets sold in 2009, CREDO Mobile is supporting the Truck Stop Electrification and Iowa Lakes Wind Energy & Turbine projects. Truck Stop Electrification reduces tailpipe emissions from freight trucks when long-haul truck drivers idle their trucks to heat or cool their cab and to power on-board appliances. The project enables drivers to shut off their engines and plug in, instead of idling. This saves up to a gallon of diesel per hour. The Iowa Lakes Wind Energy & Turbine project provides student training in wind energy and turbine technology, in addition to generating power.
For more information about CREDO Mobile and its commitment to the environment visit:http://www.credomobile.com/Mission/Green-Statement.aspx
About Carbonfund.org:
Carbonfund.org is the leading nonprofit carbon offset and climate solutions organization, making it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce their climate impact. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions they are responsible for in their everyday lives by supporting third-party verified renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects where they are most cost effective. Carbonfund.org has over 450,000 individual supporters and works with over 1,000 business and nonprofit partners including Discovery, Amtrak, Volkswagen, Dell, JetBlue, Orbitz and Staples. Visit http://www.carbonfund.org

Oh, Shelby, I didn't know you had gotten the other golden for good! I was assuming you we're just dog-sitting for someone. My! Well, it sounds like it has been helpful at least and you already love her. And I imagine seeing her more mature behavior gives you hope Peaches will one day sleep through the night....
L, wife of a soldier, mom to 4 humans, 2 felines, and 1 adorable puppy
AWWW Shelby do you have pics of the older pup?! Not sure if its the same situation but we ended up with our Boxer "Laina" kind of like that. Very unexpectedly.
My in-laws heard about a boxer for sale and knew she was in a bad situation. She came from Petland originally and was bought by some low-lifes that used her to breed. My in-laws said they were horrified by the conditions she was living in and had to adopt her. She had fleas, worms, infections, ear mites, and was very underweight. I went over to their house and was amazed to see another dog sitting on their porch!! I asked who she was and they said "well we were hoping you could take her". They didn't want 3 dogs so of course we took her and she has been the best dog I could ever ask for. And so we got Libby as a friend for her. They are best pals too!
Question ladies: Where are you taking your pups for puppy-classes, how much, how often is the class, and at what age can you bring them.
My husband and I have been contemplating bringing Libby to classes. She is doing very well right now but she might regress in a couple months during the teenage phase.....

Wow that is so special about your pooch, Meg. How incredibly kind and loving you guys are! She is lucky to have you!
No, our breeder picked Kat out for show and she didn't pass her clearances at this past appointment for her eyes. So she can't be bred. Our breeder knew we'd want another pooch next year and asked if we'd like to have Katniss, who is 9 months old. Katniss is so gorgeous and really the sweetest, goofiest dog around. We had her over and fell in love and so did Peaches. They are inseparable. It is so crazy, never thought this would happen but so glad it did. Our breeder knew that we were good match for Katniss and it worked out awesome! I'll post some pictures of her, she is so funny while Peaches is so dominant and serious. they are yingandyang.
We are lucky like Amanda to have a team of dog trainers here in Augusta. They are certified in a lot of venues and we can pick what direction we want to move with our two. I really want to get them into something because I feel like they are meant to use their intelligence and abilities and I find that exciting as well. Our first classes is Puppy kindergarten it starts on the 8th and goes for 6 weeks (I think). It is 75 dollars, it is 8 to 13 weeks of age and they must have their second set of vacs. so lucky Peaches brother is going to be in the same class!
Ok, so I'll go see if I can find some cute shots of Katniss.

Here is Katniss at the Savannah River on Sunday
I love this shot. I swear I did not manipulate Peaches' paw. I looked over and this is how they were laying.
This morning Peaches' brother came over to play and Katniss was overseeing their fun!

Libby's Mom, Meg
Ohhhh, I LOVE those pictures of Peaches and Katniss!!!! That sleeping one is the sweetest thing ever! What a fun house you have!
Today's word in our house is "under."
No, not under as in, I'm "under-prepared" for Christmas (although true), but under as in Thelma Lou likes to be UNDER things. She climbs under the furniture all day long. Sometimes she takes a nap, sometimes she growls ferociously at anyone who walks by, sometimes she takes her toys under the couch to play. It's funny-but I wonder how its going to work when she gets bigger!
We played outside a lot again yesterday. She would stay out all day if we let her. And she met our neighbor's boxer for the first time. She was a little overwhelmed by the boxer's exuberance at meeting. But it was great for her-she needs some doggie friends. And she needs someone of her species to let her know when she is being too rough. We're going to try to have them play daily or close to it.

Charlie seems to literally be getting bigger as I type this:
Here's Charlie pouting while Jinx watches from the safety of the living room:
I wish time would slow down a bit! I'm so looking forward to having 12 days off work to bond even more with him

ha ha, that looks is priceless! Does Jinx tease Charlie? Our cat, Roman, is so cruel, he won't budge because he knows his claws will hurt the pups so he has the power. He entices them and they circle him in fear. They just want to play. Stinkin' cat!

Tsunade sends out Naruto under the guise of a top-secret mission to the Land of Lightning to keep him hidden away from the Akatsuki. Naruto leaves Konoha with Aoba, Yamato, Guy along with three other unknown shinobi. They are however, held up at the port due to a report of a monster attacking ships making people afraid to set sail. When Guy and Aoba go out to see if they can solve the problem, they encounter an aggressive giant marlin and a fisherman named Yūsuke who lost his father to the marlin and wanted to avenge him. On the next day, the ninjas give Yūsuke a boat and a fishing pole and Guy rowing the boat. After much struggle, Yūsuke finally catches the marlin with his own strength. After that Naruto and the others are finally able to set sail for the Land of Lightning.
- The episode's name and story are probably based off on Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Old Man and the Sea.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Clifford Thies on the American Economic Association and Richard T. Ely
Recorded: Monday, November 28, 2011
The American Economic Association (AEA) takes pride in celebrating its founder Richard T. Ely.

Ely and Woodrow Wilson at The Hopkins by Gary M. Pecquet and Clifford F. Thies, as well as the Econ Journal Watch article Richard T. Ely: The Confederate Flag of the AEA? by Clifford F. Thies and Ryan Daza. In this podcast, Thies is interviewed by the economist Lawrence H. White and explores Elys ideas, values, and impact. Thies is the Eldon R. Lindsay Chair of Free Enterprise and Professor of Economics and Finance at Shenandoah University.

EX: Light Magic Archer (Part Two, the revenge!)
Well, this hasn't happened before, but it looks like some of our deviations from the Japanese game have caught up to us. EX: Light Magic Archer is a US-only card, only now it turns out there IS a Japanese EX: Light Magic Archer, and she's a multi-sphere Gowen Refess card -- aaaaaaand it's about time for us to release her. Our original plan was to use Sunbow Archer for the multi-sphere instead, but that introduced a new problem, namely Sunbow Archer is a magic archer awash in holy golden light, and Light Magic Archer is Refess-y looking Solar Kingdom soldier firing a FIREBALL from her bow... really, nothing says Refess/Gowen better than that. So, it looks like the best option is to retcon our EX: Light Magic Archer into EX: Sunbow Archer, and release the new EX Gowen/Refess Multisphere as the new EX: Light Magic Archer. But I know what you're thinking...
'Who is Sunbow Archer?'
Er, Set 10 I think, 1-star Refess. Go look, you probably have a bunch of her and never noticed. But the question I was looking for was 'How dare you change my cards!!!'
Hmm, not actually a question. Anyway, we're not changing anything about the way the existing EX: Light Magic Archer works in the game. Same Stats, same skills (we'll even keep the skill names), the ONLY thing that's changing is the art, card name, and flavor text. She will appear in the same place in the card list, and your existing files with her won't need any modifications, she'll just magically look different and have a different name.
Okay, you got us, we know everyone is obsessed with the Light Magic Archer art, so we're pulling it off the cards you already have and putting it on new cards so you all have to buy more! We'll be rich I tell you, rich! Bwahahahahahahaha!
Ahem. So let me sum up:
First step
On Friday Morning, the EX: Light Magic Archer you know and love is being retconned into EX: Sunbow Archer but will keep her stats and skills and game functionality completely intact.
Second Step
A new card will be released (announcement coming soon) with the art and name "EX: Light Magic Archer" and she will be Gowen/Refess multisphere, with the EX Multisphere boarder.
I apologize for the inconvenience, and next time I make an EX card that JP doesn't have I'll be a little more careful about what I pick.
