Crazy stuff here. But it also shows how bad things are in that region when it comes to gender oppression. For these women to run to the mountains and form such a highly defensive warrior tribe indicates to me that obviously there are some issues there. Now the question I have is when will these modern day Amazons make the jump from swords and scythes, to firearms and modern combat arms training? Interesting stuff. –Matt
In the Ukraine, a country where females are victims of sexual trafficking and gender oppression, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the "Asgarda", the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30 year-old Katerina Tarnouska. Reviving the tribal traditions of the Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology, the Asgarda train in martial arts, taught by former Soviet karate master, Volodymyr Stepanovytch, and learn life skills and sciences in order to become ideal women. Little physical documentation existed on the tribe, until recently, when renowned French photographer, Guillaume Herbaut, met the Asgarda back in 2004 in the midst of the Orange Revolution.

Imagine the Girl Guides with racier uniforms accessorised with pickaxes, chains and scythes and what have you got? Answer: a women's youth movement sweeping Ukraine
By Sally Howard
12 Sep 2010
It's 5.30am and dawn is breaking in the Carpathian Mountains. Morning mist garlands the mountaintops as the sun rises over a view that's as old as the hills: headscarved babushkas push carts of hay by hand, white-tailed eagles circle drowsily above and the air is scented by the ancient spruces of Europe's last stretch of virgin forest. Only the rumble of cargo trains driving west to Hungary disturbs this bucolic scene. That and the peals of three bikini-clad girls as they jump into the frigid Dniester, the fast-flowing river that courses south across the length of eastern Ukraine to the Black Sea.

Origin Energy has blamed regulatory decisions coupled with unusually high wholesale electricity prices for the profit squeeze which hit its December half earnings and prompted it to slash the full year profit forecast.
The group's managing director, Grant King, has described as "poor" the first half profit.
The net profit fell to $524 million from $794 million as the underlying profit slid to $362 million from $489 million.
"It has been a poor half, the question is now we respond to it," Mr King told analysts today when discussing the results.
Earnings were hit by a decision to freeze electricity tariffs in Queensland which triggered intense competition in its other markets and led to a loss of market share in the key New South Wales market, where Origin has boosted its exposure through the acquisition of the Integral Energy and Country Energy retail customers from the state government in 2011.
"We have not been able to absorb this effect on our guidance," Mr King said, with the higher market prices in Queensland alone costing $30-35 million at the pre-tax profit level, he said.
Origin also suffered from a prolonged outage at its Eraring power plant in NSW in November, which is now the subject of a damages claim to the NSW government, it said. It refused to indicate the size of this claim, although it said it expects it to be resolved in its favour by the middle of the year.
In NSW, electricity customer numbers fell from 1.42 million at end-June 2012 to 1.38 million at end-December, while in Victoria, it dropped to 623,000 from 641,000.
"Will we get back to 13 per cent margins? I'm not sure. But we should be doing better than 9 per cent," Mr King said of the performance of its electricity division.
Earnings were flattered by the forward sale of oil, which lifted cash inflows by $284 million as its commitment to fund its share of an export gas project rises.
At the same time, Origin expects to see further demand for large gas from other export projects in Queensland, which should be a positive over the next few years.
"We believe the market will be calling for gas, and we will be in a position to respond," Mr King told analysts.
Origin disclosed a 7 per cent rise to $24.7 billion in the total cost of its export gas project, following a detailed review.
"That $24.7 billion number is deliverable... both as per schedule... and cost," he said.
In NSW, Origin has to invest a further $4.4 billion over the next two years, which it is confident it can fund out of cashflows an existing loan facilities.

Information regarding the Arceus ??? Sprite: When the game was being made, the designers put in the ??? sprite to protect the game from crashing. Any self-respecting hacker can activate Arceus's ??? type; here's the scenario for you. A gamer hacks into the DS Card via Gameshark or Action Replay. Said gamer activates the code for "Arceus ??? Sprite"(yes, there's a code). Now, this is where it gets involved. Let's say the sprite hadn't been put into the game. The hacker activates the sprite. But since the sprite wouldn't be part of the game, the game would try to load data that doesn't exist, and would, therefore, crash(Game freezes; internal battery runs dry; unable to save again) or freeze. But the sprite is there, so that won't happen. There isn't a ??? Plate, because the only attack of that type, Curse, doesn't do damage. When used by a ghost type, it inflicts a cures condition, but does not do direct damage. Get it? Gazimon X 22:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
It's kind of sad when the random contributers are more helpfull than the actual users. 184.108.40.206 02:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC) P.S. No offence, but it's true
- ... YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Well I'm sorry to say offense was taken harshly. I worked too hard on that for someone to change it to a lesser version of which most of my words still remain. And by the way, I'm changing it back Why? Because searched up by everything in my power nothing of the sort came up and Michiru and Hiroshi in Japan haven't updated me on this This is all probably a theory No offense :'( ShayminSteph
Same guy who commented a couple months ago. I was not refering just to this page. I was refering to the whole site at that time. Now it has improved one thousand-fold. 18.104.22.168 15:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC) whats with the colour changing thing on the top. If it's not needed can i delete it?--Yuffie2211 05:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
So, this is what's in here: ".So far this has been the only way to get a Arceus exept for a action replay, but that realy screws up your game." I see typos, and Action Replay never really screws up your game unless you do the cheat wrong, and it's hard to get it wrong if you try. And most of the time it wont mess you up. Also, can I remove this, considering there are more ways to get an Arceus besides the giveaway and AR (Trade, Azure Flute, etc.)?Cross Drago 00:35, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
P.S. The ??? Plate was also put in incase someone figured out the coding for the items (go me lol) and decided to see if the code for the ??? Plate would work. I think it was so the game didn't go up in glitches when you tried it...Cross Drago 00:40, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
P.S.S. (lol) I just checked and tried the ??? Plate with the Ghost-type Curse. It didn't even make the curse more painful, meaning it doesn't do anything except make Arceus look cool (and make all moves against it neither super effective or not very effective or even uneffective). I'll update on trying to get the plate into Battle Revo. Check my talk for it.Cross Drago 00:53, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
Uh, what?
Currently, there is a rumor that Arceus may be the mascot of SoulSilver. Everyone knows that SS's mascot is Lugia...Grovyle the Thief 21:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Some people just put in random information that they made up themselves. If you ever see anything that is abnormal, go ahead and take it out. -- Captain Vas 21:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
For god's sake, man! who told you that Arceus is the mascot! Soul Silver is a remake of the origonal Silver Version, and in that game the mascot is Lugia.
The Japanese spells out A-RU-SE-U-SU. So, in the pronunciation, it should say, "AR-SE-US"
In the name Arceus, the "ce" makes an "s" sound due to the "e". For god's sake man, it's basic English!
In the movie they say Ark-ee-us, but it was a mistake in translation. It is Ar-see-us, because otherwise it would be spelt Arkeus or Arckeus, and that wouldn't be right.
- I've heard it pronounced where the c makes a k sound. I usually follow that pronounciation... †êåmGå£ådžîdžø°ñ 00:43, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
Irrelevant Information
Just thought i would say, that it is really annoying when "a wikia contributor" adds completely random and irrelevant information on pages, and deleting other peoples information who actually put factual information in the articles.
For example, the person who decided to put that Arceus originated from the Saw movies along with some other completely irrelevant information... i mean seriously, why do it?
bec. :) 00:32, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
Is Arceus the strongest pokemon?
I've battle many Arceus over the months and none of them can defeat my Lv.100 Darkrai.
I use Dark void and after a few turns, it's lights out for Arceus.
Obviously it depends on who uses it. Lv 100's get taken out all the time by a Lv 2 Ratata that knows endeavor, or a clever strategy using Bidoof. But pound for pound, Arceus has nearly perfect stats, so even if both pokemon knew the exact same moves and were the exact same type, and the exact same level, Arceus wins that battle. Strategy is key. Unregistered Guy 03:38, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
Arceus keep being compared to Dialga?
Why was this done? "Moves like Dialga", "Looks like a cross between Pailkia and Dialga". Just because he created them doesnt mean they bear a resemblence. It was even acknowledged, that if he made the whole universe, he probably made all the Legendaries. I dont see any Ho-oh comparing. Even a step further, he (he being used for the sake of clarity) probably made all the pokemon in entirity. No one talks about his uncanny resemblence to Slowpoke. Any likeness is simply because they were all penned around the same time, and the fact that Palkia and Dialga represent infinite cosmic principles, both of which combine make up the entire universe, which would make them beings on par with something that created the universe in the first place. Their being in the same league in terms of ideal with Arceus accounts for their likeness + the fact that they were made by the same creators for the generation on a literal and pragmatic level. And its also, on a semi-unrelated note, a very literal assumption thinking that just because Mew is the "ancestor of pokemon" means that Mew came before or as far back as Arceus. "Ancestor of Pokemon" could be pretty relative, just meaning that Mew is really old, and a perfect Mythical Pokemon canidate. The Mayans were the ancestors to most modern-day Latino Amerians, but Im pretty sure the Mayans werent there at the beginning of time. Would explain alot though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unregistered Guy (talk • contribs)
- Dialga and Arceus are compared so much because of their close connection, Dialga and Plakia were some of Arceus' first creations, by your argument, a father and son being compared is the same as a man and his great-great-grandfather being compared. I think you are putting too much thought into this, it's just an article based on a game character. Crimsnnavy C S 09:25, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
Since when is Arceus the only one able to change its type?
The trivia section mentions Arceus as the only Pokemon apart from Ditto and Mew that can change its type to any other type, and the only one that does so without Transform. To whomever wrote that: Ever heard of Keckleon? Porygon? It's a useless bit of information and it isn't even true; get rid of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
- It is common in our society that you say "please" when you want something done, not "get rid of it". I removed it but please remember common courtesies in the future. Crimsnnavy C S 01:02, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
I went to Pokémon wiki's main page and in the Did You Know section it says That Genesect, Meloetta and Keldeo are the only current Pokémon that are not released? An event to legitimately get Arceus was never held either (unless that changed recently and I missed it). william slattery (talk) 04:26, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
- I remember getting Arceus from a Toys'R'Us event a while ago, I think it was 4th gen. --Shockstorm (talk) 04:45, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh. My bad. It can't be obtained legitimately in the wild. I forgot he was given during an event. william slattery (talk) 05:26, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
In regards to the question of whether Arceus or Mew came first, I would say that it's probably believable that if Arceus created the Pokemon World as we know it, Arceus is Gamefreak in Pokemon form, so, Arceus created Mew, and created Mew first.22.214.171.124 13:12, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
This makes no sense
It says that Acerus is said to be the one who created the Pokemon Universe and thew first ever Pokemon. But I thought Mew was the one who created ALL Pokemon, if Mew created all Pokemon how could Arceus have existsed first? Burnsy123
Simple. It's called a retcon. It happens all of the time as new ideas are implemented into certain continuities. What makes you think it wouldn't happen with this one? Also, with Sylveon's typing being such a mystery, what makes you think it won't happen again? ScorpionTail (talk) 19:11, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
Mew is the ancestor of all pokemon while Arceus is the Creator of all pokemon, would this mean that arceus is not a pokemon but an entirely different species? -DragonTrainer53 (October 28, 2013)
- I believe the fandom has come to the consensus that Mew is the ancestor of all non-legendary pokemon and that some legendary pokemon like Arceus came before Mew. 04:36, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Conference to teach management for raising trophy bass
Set March 23-24 in Athens
ATHENS – Mark your calendar if you want to grow trophy largemouth bass in your pond or lake. An upcoming program set in Athens will show you how, said a Texas AgriLife Extension Service expert.
"Bass Tech: The Technology to Manage for Success" will be held at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center- Conservation Center, Farm-to-Market 2495, Athens, on March 24, to show bass enthusiasts just how to do so, said Dr. Billy Higginbotham AgriLife Extension wildlife and fisheries specialist, Overton.
A joint venture by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and AgriLife Extension, programming will include presentations starting with basic pond ecology, water quality, pond fertility, supplemental feeding, bass population assessment, aquatic weed control, controlling nuisance wildlife, bass genetics and managing for trophy bass, Higginbotham said.
Similar programming has been held before in Athens, but not since 2008, he said. As the programming is applicable statewide, it has also previously been held in San Marcos and Conroe.
"The main difference this year is that we've trimmed some topics based on participant evaluations," Higgibotham said. "We have an optional tour of the hatchery at the center the day before, but the one-day program means participants won't have to go to the expense and trouble of spending the night if they don't want to."
Registration for the training is $70 by March 16, $100 thereafter. Participants may register online at http://agriliferegister.tamu.edu or by calling 979-845-2604.
For more information, contact Higginbotham at 903-834-6191 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Dr. Michael Masser, 979-845-7370 or email@example.com.

What's Going To Be Here?
Alright, for those of you you don't know (in which case you maybe shouldn't be here) Naruto is both an anime and a manga. And that, for this section anyways, causes a problem, beacuse I'm so indesive I don't know what to put here. What I'm going for is a link to an area with the plot of Naruto but I also want to do a summory of either each book or each episode. This is where you come in. Please vote below on which one you would like below:
- Summory of each book
- Summory of each episode
- Neither
- No plot at all
Thanks for your help. User: LoneWolf 5
- Why not make the plot page a short overview of the general theme of the Naruto plotline and the differences between the Anime and Manga. We'll also make a page for the Overview of the Anime Plotline and one for the Overview of the Manga Plotline. And there isn't much else to write about Naruto after you're done with characters, jutsus, areas, etc... so we'll also have room to do an overview of every Anime and Manga book and episode in their own articles. Dantman (Talk) 04:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Shiore's cause of death
Is it to much speculating to say that he died from Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of the Heavens? Judging from episode 29, he died from a stab wound around his belly. Jacce | Talk 08:22, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Face-meltage seems less troublesome. ~SnapperTo 19:44, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand
Is something wrong with this page? Where are all those arcs? Ttogafer (talk) 20:04, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
New filler
Will we have a new filler arc(after the Pain invasion)? Manga chapters used for the episodes are going rapidly fast... Ttogafer (talk) 17:56, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
Should they be listed? Characters like Gaara, Shizune, Fukasaku and Kakashi died in Part 2, but were later resurrected. It's different from resurrection through Edo Tensei, so we don't need to worry about that one. Another matter I'd like to bring up is of flashback deaths. How should they be listed? For example, we know Minato died before the start of the series, but it's quite likely we'll actually see his death in a chapter or two. Should he be listed as having had his death shown in the current arc? Izuna's funeral was shown as a flashback/story telling, should it be mentioned in the death section? Same for other "told to be dead"/"death shown in flashback" characters. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:03, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
- The characters that were shown to have died in that arc should be listed in the arc... unless you put "Before the Start of the Series" than we can list them, correctly. KiumaruHamachi (talk) 01:24, July 25, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
Fourth Great Shinobi World War Arc?
Since the war already started, should we start a new arc for it?--220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:35, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Arc Names from Stealth Volume: Road to Ninja
The Stealth Volume: Road to Ninja volume was given away as a promotional book along with Volume 61 to commemorate the movie. It's published in basically the exact same format as a normal volume, except instead of featuring chapters it has three special features relating to the new film: "Road of Naruto", an overview of all the story arcs up through the Fourth Shinobi World War; "Road to Naruto the Movie", the one-shot manga chapter; and "Making of Road to Ninja," a lengthy interview with Kishimoto that includes some of his concept sketches and design notes. It can be read online in its entirety on the 2012 Naruto Special Website on Shonenjump.com. The interesting thing is that the Road of Naruto section features official names and subtitles for all of the story arcs; most of this information has in fact been reproduced on the Special Website.
I'm going to go ahead and translate the names here:
- 1. Road to Shinobi ("忍"の道へー, "Shinobi" no Michiē)
- 2. Survival Training Commences!! (スバイバル演習開始!!, Subaibaru Enshū Kaishi!!)
- 3. The Demon of the Hidden Mist Arrives!! (霧隠れの鬼神現る!!, Kirigakure no Kijin Araware!!)
- 4. The Chūnin Selection Exams Commence!! (中忍選抜試験開始!!, Chūnin Senbatsu Shiken Kaishi!!)
- 5. The Konoha Destruction Disturbance!! (木ノ葉崩しの争乱!!, Konoha Kuzushi no Sōran!!)
- 6. The Mysterious Akatsuki Organization Invades!! (謎の組織"暁"襲来!!, Nazo no Soshiki "Akatsuki" Shūrai!!)
- 7. Search for the Fifth Hokage Candidate (五代目火影候補探索, Godaime Hokage Kōho Tansaku)
- 8. Deathmatch! The Sasuke Rescue Mission!! (死闘!サスケ奪回任務!!, Shitō! Sasuke Dakkai Ninmu!!)
- Opposing Forces Clash at the Valley of the End!! (雌雄を決する終末の谷の戦い!!, Shiyū o Kessuru Shūmatsu no Tani no Tatakai!!)
- 9. Rescue the Kazekage!! (風影を奪還せよ!!, Kazekage o Dakkan seyo!!)
- 10. Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance!! (天地橋偵察!!, Tenchi-bashi Teisatsu!!)
- 11. Akatsuki's Immortal Combo Attacks!! ("暁"不死コンビを討て!!, "Akatsuki" Fushi-Konbi o Ute!!)
- 12. Team Hebi Assembles!! (小隊"蛇"結成!!, Shōtai "Hebi" Kessei!!)
- 13. Deathmatch! Sasuke vs Deidara!! (死闘!サスケVSデイダラ!!, Shitō! Sasuke Bāsasu Deidara!)
- 14. Uchiha Brothers Decisive Battle!! (うちは兄弟決戦!!, Uchiha Kyōdai Kessen!!)
- 15. Pain's Assault!! (ペイン急襲!!, Pein Kyūshū!!)
- 16. The Five Kage Summit is Held!! (五影会談開催!!, Gokage Kaidan Kaisai!!)
- 17. Showdown! Nine-Tails!! (対決!"九尾"!!, Taiketsu! "Kyūbi"!!)
- The Shinobi World War to Decide the Future!! (未来を決める忍界大戦!!, Mirai o Kimeru Ninkai Taisen!!)
Note that the "Opposing Forces Clash at the Valley of the End!!" is described as the 9th story arc on the Special Website's story section, offsetting the numbering for the following arcs. In the book it's simply the header of a big two-page spread about the battle. Likewise, the final listing is the header of a two-page spread about the war, but becomes the 19th arc (due to the offset) on the website, where it's renamed Outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War!! (第四次忍界大戦、勃発!!, Daiyonji Ninkai Taisen, Boppatsu!!).
Feel free to use these in the article as you see fit. FF-Suzaku (talk) 05:41, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
This looks very interesting, though I'm a bit concerned by the fact they call Zetsu a Kusagakure missing-nin. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:29, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
Maybe it's as I said and the original white zetsu isn't a creation but simply was a dude bathed in Hashi's DNA that turned him into a plantman. Only his clones were born from the "tree" That would also explain the blood type part.--Elveonora (talk) 19:59, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
- It's possible that there's something to it. There could be a lot of possible reasons why Zetsu would be classified as Kusagakure. Perhaps it's part of a false identity he uses, perhaps there is more to his origins than just being grown from a giant lotus using Hashirama's DNA, or perhaps it's simply an error on the part of the website staff. The character chart isn't included in the book, so for now, I'd lean towards the latter. It might be worth noting in his trivia section, however. You can read the full book online here, by the way. FF-Suzaku (talk) 20:21, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
It should be inspected further. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a card game or a videogame had Zetsu listed as a Kusa ninja as well? High chance of that being an error, but isn't this directly from Kishimoto or at least with him having a hand in it?--Elveonora (talk) 20:59, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
Arc Name Changes
Here are some arc name changes that I am considering
Note: These are only suggestions. Not all them have to be agreed. Some of them can be rejected, some of you might come up with better names than I have. All I know is I have problem with the names of these arcs and here's why
Introduction Arc > Team 7 Arc:
- Every first arc in a manga introduces the reader to the world, characters, concepts etc. Not one other manga has ever called it's first arc introduction arc
- This arc revolves around Team 7. The formation of team 7 and their teamwork
- The only siginificant characters in this are Team 7, Iruka, The 3rd Hokage, Mizuki & Konohamaru
Invasion of Konoha Arc > Sand & Sound Invasion Arc:
- This is just as pointless as calling the Invasion of Pain Arc this. And Im sure that arc would've taken the name if this arc didn't exist
- It mainly revolves around the sand and sound ninja invading Konoha
- This arc can also be called Orochimaru Invasion arc or something. Anything that differentiates this arc from the Invasion of Pain arc
Seperate Return of Itachi Arc from the Search for Tsuande Arc:
- Let's face it, Itachi's return has nothing to do with Naruto's & Jiraiya's search for Tsunade. I know Itachi tried to attack Naruto while they were on their way looking for Tsuande, but nothing in this arc affects the Search for Tsuande arc anymore than any other arc
- If anything the return of Itachi was only a delay to the search for Tsuande. Yes, Kakashi and Sasuke got injured and we learn about the Akatsuki but that doesn't really tie in with the search for Tsuande
Sasuke Retrieval Arc > Sound Five Arc
- Yes, this arc is mainly about the Sasuke rescue mission but there are countless missions that involve retrieving Sasuke. The main antagonist are the sound 5, therefore it is the Sound Five Arc
Filler Arcs
Land of Rice Fields Arc > Fūma Clan Arc:
- Ok I know that there is another Fūma clan in the series, however until there is any significant involvement from them in the series, we should ignore that fact
- Ok this obviously takes place when they travel to the Land of Rice Fields, but this arc is about the meeting Sasame of the Fūma clan, and them finding her cousin Arashi, as well as fighting Kagero
Curry of Life Arc > Raiga & Ranmaru Arc:
- Ok where do I begin. This arc has little do with the curry, and all it did was woke up the unconscious Naruto, Neji & Lee.
- If anything this arc is about the bond between Raiga and Ranmaru, Saving the village from Raiga, and trying to get information about Kisame
Land of Birds Arc > Cursed Warrior Arc:
- Again I know this where the arc takes place, but really this arc is about solving the mystery behind the Cursed Warrior ghost
Hoshigakure Arc > Hidden Star Village Arc:
- There is no need to have to call it by it's full name. Only a suggestion because it sounds simpler, and anyone who hasn't watched the arc wouldn't have clue what the arc name means. At least we get an idea of what it's about if we were to change it
Land of Vegetables Arc > Criminal Brothers Arc:
- Again, this arc is not about the Land of Vegetables. This arc is about protecting some peddlers from the Criminal Brothers, and fighting each one , one by one.
Third Great Beast Arc > Ryūdōin Brothers Arc:
- Ok I don't where third great beast came from but I do know that this arc is about Gensho, of the Ryūdōin Brothers, impersonating Yagura and the brothers trying to get revenge on Guy.
Ultimate Weapon Arc - > Four Celestial Symbols Men Arc
- Ok, I know this arc involves the revival of Semei and combining all their weapons to be come 'The Ultimate Weapon', but really this arc is about the leaf village repaying the sand village by saving Matsuri from the four celestial symbols men. --DuelMaster93 (talk) 02:54, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
Do you think that for the deaths chart, we should add a, pre-part 1 ex. Yashamaru, Sunagakure, himself, explosive tags. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 00:47, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure. It would be rather confusing, since this page doesn't chronicle the series events in a true chronological order, since we don't include a background section for stuff that happened before the actual narrative of the story. We do that for character articles, but not for this page. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:31, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
What about Yahiko? He needs to be added and so does Hanzou --Rias Gremory (talk) 21:50, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
- Same situation, they died chronologically before the series. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:38, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
So are both Obito and Madara really dead? Rias Gremory (talk) 23:41, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
With Obito, there's no telling. However, seeing as Madara's chakra and anything related to him vanished, I'm certain he's dead again.--Hockey Machete (talk) 23:47, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
Well it says there dead but mabey we'll find out Rias Gremory (talk) 00:06, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
Kurama and the demon fox not the exact same .
The demon fox is Kurama's dark half , The part in Naruto is the nine tailed fox but not the demon one . YamiYugi1001 (talk) 08:53, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
There is no dark half and demon half, the half sealed within naruto is kurama's Yang chakra and the half sealed in minato is kurama's Yin chakra.--Charmanking2198 (talk) 13:42, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

I think we need to create a page dealing with the list of deaths that happened in the series. NgKQ (talk) 14:57, July 29, 2014 (UTC)NgKQ

Will we be adding the Blank Period / epilogue stories and the new spin-off to this article as well? Diamonddeath (talk) 08:48, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring
So how come Naruto Gaiden has been added to this page yet? Was there something stated that it shouldn't be added yet? --AllstarUchiha (talk) 00:54, May 14, 2015 (UTC)
Deaths of Ajisai and Fū
They died during the latest arc, though we didn't see it. Should we add them to "deaths" nevertheless? Norleon (talk) 13:35, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

Getting Social
The anti-sexual violence movement isn't social media shy. This is important territory for change makers, and it's in our best interest to keep current and adapt to venues of public communication. To create dialogue and educate on sexual violence prevention, we've shared this conversation for decades with tools such as editorials, radio/TV PSA's, posters/billboards and by talking in our communities. Now in the age of Facebook, Twitter and microblogging, we've embraced the global movement to use online networks and communities to further our mission to end sexual violence.
Social media is seen by NSVRC as one of many effective tools in engaging communities in conversation. Social media is best used in conjunction with, not in replacement of, traditional media advocacy, community-based outreach, and hands-on activism.
Now to be honest, SAAM is very into social media. We'd love to see this tool best utilized by our organization, movement and local communities, so it's likely you'll hear more from us on and through social media technologies. We understand that access to technology and building online capacity is a process for many organizations, and we value that there are different needs across this spectrum. Whether you're swan diving in the deep-end or just getting your toes wet, there's a space for you in social media realms, so let's get to exploring!
The Social Life of SAAM 2012
Creating and exchanging content is what social media is all about. SAAM 2012 was our most "social" campaign by far.
- On Facebook and Twitter we called for tweets, posts and status updates to spread the word about SAAM. We also asked for profile pictures, cover photos and backgrounds using campaign images such as the SAAM logo or teal ribbons.
- April also kicked-off our first Twitter chats, Tweet about it Tuesdays! Participants joined us for an hour-long chat every Tuesday in April using #TweetAboutIt. Other hashtag trends included #SAAM, #SAAM2012 and #DenimDay.
- The NSVRC YouTube channel hosted a SAAM 2012 playlist with over 75 related videos, including our "It's time… to talk about it" campaign video.
- With the launch of the new NSVRC website, the SAAM blog was added to our list of social media activities. Blogging is a great platform for us to keep the conversation current and interactive while sharing relevant resources and hearing your feedback.
What's next?
We know that users are also engaging on other social networks and with other blogging and bookmarking tools. Tumblr and Pinterest were hot spaces in 2012, not to mention the rise of moblie apps, etc. With technology evolving at a constant rate, it's hard to say what's next for SAAM. As we explore, it would be great to hear from you on about the social media tools you are using and why? Let us know by commenting below!
Microblogging is a new word for me! Thanks for the social media lesson LP!
Anytime! Glad to share the term, but you are already a microblogging expert!

As we wrestle with the disappointment of the Dodgers falling short of the postseason for the second season in a row - not to mention succumbing to the hated San Francisco Giants for the National League West crown - let's remember one important thing as we ponder the necessary improvements this winter.
The questions confronting the Dodgers this offseason are a kindergarten assessment test compared to the MIT exam they faced this time a year ago.
Forget about whether they'd have the means or motivation to lock up Matt Kemp long-term or how they planned to improve the offense around their young slugger.
This time last fall, the despised Frank McCourt was digging his feet in vowing to wage a bitter fight to retain ownership of the club.
In the meantime, the Dodgers and their fans hung in limbo.
It's easy to forget how bad things really were a year ago, our memories spoiled by the frustration of the Dodgers' second-half collapse this season and the reality a team with the best centerfielder in the National League and the best left-handed pitcher in baseball did not make the playoffs again.
The reality is, with McCourt no longer around - replaced by a new, committed ownership group last April - the only way to assess the past 12 months is as a huge win for the Dodgers and their fans. Even without a playoff appearance.
We already know the Guggenheim Baseball Group, which bought the Dodgers from McCourt for $2 billion, is motivated to inject serious money into the team after approving long-term deals for Kemp and right fielder Andre Ethier while absorbing more than a quarter of a billion dollars in future salary to bring in Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett at the trade deadline.
Nothing Guggenheim said since leads you to believe it won't continue its pursuit to build a championship team, no matter the cost.
Meanwhile, with Ramirez, Kemp, Gonzalez and Ethier all locked up for the foreseeable future and forming an imposing grouping in the middle of the batting order, most of the necessary pieces are in place for the Dodgers to field a powerful offense next year.
In fact, if you assume Luis Cruz will be the starting third baseman and Ramirez will stay at shortstop the Dodgers have their entire infield in place. If Carl Crawford makes a successful return from Tommy John surgery the outfield is set, too.
That's an incredible luxury for general manager Ned Colletti, who goes into this winter armed with a long-term extension and a narrow, focused to-do list to help push the Dodgers over the top.
After all, when your primary offensive questions are who will be your fourth and fifth outfielders, what to do about a back=up catcher and whether to retain Juan Uribe as a back=up infielder or dangle Dee Gordon as trade bait you're in pretty good shape.
That isn't to say the Dodgers have no concerns.
While the needs are limited, the importance of making the right decisions to address them is of utmost importance.
Fortunately, Colletti has us to help him out, and here is what we'd do to get the Dodgers over the top.
Get Kershaw locked down
The big left-hander (14-9, 2.53 ERA, 229 strikeouts) gamely battled through a hip injury to have another outstanding season.
It wasn't up to par with his Cy Young Award-winning year in 2011 but it wasn't far off, either. There isn't a better left-hander in baseball and he is one of the absolute faces of the Dodgers' franchise.
Sign Haren
It seems doubtful the Angels will pick up Haren's $15.5 million club option, opting instead to buy out the veteran right-hander for $3.5 million.
No doubt the 31-year-old Haren will draw interest, even coming off a down season in which he battled injuries to finish with a 12-13 record and 4.33 ERA. If the price gets too risky, the Dodgers should bow out.
On the other hand, Haren is a local kid who likely would welcome the opportunity the stay home. So if the Dodgers offer him something reasonable, he might jump at the chance.
By adding Haren, the Dodgers could go into next season with a rotation of Kershaw, Ted Lilly, Haren, Josh Beckett and Chris Capuano with Chad Billingsley still a possibility depending on whether he can avoid Tommy John surgery on his ailing elbow.
Bring back the 'pen
The foundation for a dominant bullpen is set, provided the Dodgers bring back Ronald Belisario, Matt Guerrier, Kenley Jansen and Brandon League.
League was brilliant while filling in for Jansen as the closer down the stretch, and with Jansen scheduled to undergo a procedure to address the irregular heartbeat that's sidelined him for parts of the past two years - with a full recovery expected - the Dodgers could have a devastating back end of the bullpen.
Say goodbye to Uribe
With all due respect to Mattingly, who portrays Uribe as a positive, team-first clubhouse presence despite losing his starting job, he's also a declining player taking up a spot on the 25- and 40-man rosters.
Uribe slumped to a .191 batting average, .258 on-base percentage and is owed $7 million next season and $1 million to be paid in 2014.
That is chump change to the now financially powerful Dodgers, who can improve themselves simply by getting rid of the veteran infielder and reinvesting his contract into another bullpen arm and reserve position player or perhaps a new starter.
Sounds easy, right?
Compared to where the Dodgers were a year ago, it is.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Research In Motion ( RIMM) was a big loser in premarket trading on Friday amid ongoing uncertainty about the handset maker's long-term prospects. Shares of Research In Motion were down 5.38% to $11.25 before market open, despite the company's recent efforts to show off its forthcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system. On Thursday, RIM also launched its BlackBerry 10 Ready Program, which aims to prepare enterprise customers for the operating system's debut in late January. RIMM shares closed down 0.42% during Thursday's trading. Cisco ( CSCO) shares crept up 0.31% to $19.54 in premarket trading on Friday ahead of the company's financial analyst conference. The networking giant's analyst event, which TheStreet will be attending, kicks off at 8 a.m. EST in New York. Apple ( AAPL) shares slipped 0.4% to $547 in premarket trading. The consumer tech giant's stock closed up 1.57% on Thursday after Deutsche Telekom announced that its T-Mobile USA subsidiary will offer Apple products next year. Facebook ( FB) shares were flat in premarket trading at $26.97. Investors will also be keeping a close eye on Palo Alto Networks ( PANW) on Friday. The security specialist swung to a loss of $3.5 million after market close on Thursday, weighing heavily on its shares in extended trading. Palo Alto Networks' adjusted profit of 4 cents a share, however, came in above Wall Street's estimates. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

SongSynth – a songwriting app for iPad / iPhone from Attic Sound & Music.
I love software that helps me create actual songs. Chord generators, lyric triggers and anything that can get me to a full arrangement quickly has my interest. I've been playing with an iOS app called SongSynth. Sitting on my couch I was able to knock out a few simple songs. I really like this app quite a lot and hope to see more apps like it. My only wish is MIDI export so I can bring my sketch into a pro-environment.
"At the heart of a pop song is a lyrical idea sung along to a collection of chords. SongSynth offers a unique, easy-to-use way of experimenting with chords, and a host of other features to help you write, store and record song ideas." – atticsound.net/songsynth

Even as the Arizona Cardinals are presented an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth, they have plenty to be concerned about.
Injuries, for one. No contender's lineup has been more damaged than Arizona's, with the latest being the sidelining of top running back Andre Ellington. It's somewhat astonishing that they not only lead the NFC West, but could grab a wild-card spot with a victory at St. Louis on Thursday night.
Much easier said than done. The Rams come off consecutive shutouts _ yes, they were against Oakland and Washington, and we're not exactly talking the John Madden Raiders or Joe Gibbs Redskins. Still, St. Louis is not a team anyone wants any part of right now.
Particularly the defense.
"They've always been as good a front four as anybody in the league and you're watching them jell and become an outstanding defense," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians says. "(Safety) Mark Barron was a great addition. They've stayed healthy, that's a big thing."
Preparation is at a premium for a short week, but neither is a fancy team with a lot of tricks. Most important is keeping your own house in order, according to Rams coach Jeff Fisher.
"I'm fine with a Thursday night game. It's just getting to Thursday night, which is the challenge as coaches," he says. "In essence what you do is you pick up an extra bye week. This one is as late as it's been for me in the season, almost mid-December."
Despite their records, the Rams are 3 1-2-point favorites over the Cardinals (10-3.

"It's not who wins the workout..."
BANNED from the LLR (Ladies' Locker Room) forum at age 64. Remember, folks, it's just running.
Quote from dallas on 11/3/2009 at 1:51 PM:
There are some interesting mansions on Chickering, one of the streets that border PWPark. The Governor of Tenn. lives in one of them. There is an odd looking house that you can see from the course that looks like a flat triangle. When it was built 15 years ago or so I think it must have been the only house in Middle Tennessee that was something other than ranch or colonial because it was a huge deal. There are some some monster houses (both mansions and McMansions) in the neighborhoods surrounding the park.
Lots of million dollar homes (or former million dollar homes) out there.
Not many prospectors that I know of.
I saw no mansions from the course except in the wee distance overlooking the steeplechase but then again I may have been delerious from the lack of oxygen. I do recall some shanty near the golf course though. About the same place I noticed all of the buzzards.
You did not look hard enough C-R. You missed the "Small" Mansion. The owner put in a turret as his "thinking room". It's backlit in the night ... but you would not see it in the daytime. You need to look to your right after you take the big downhill from the golf course ... then past the 4 way, comes a clearing ... on your right, but before the trees take over. Ya got that?????
Oh I saw that monstrosity. Mansion says you. Lego house built by someone on crack says I.
Now those homes on the way to the Stone Gates, those are mansions but that neighborhood looks a bit dicey.

Patagonia Plush Wrap Up
What a fantastically lovely take on fleece. Not only is it fuzzy like a muppet, it's flattering for the female form. I truly enjoy fleece that is girly. In fact, I could most likely design an entire line of fleece for gals that was flattering, comfortable, and cozy without looking like you raided your husband/boyfriend/male roommate's closet. Special thanks to cousin Corey for the gift certificate so I could order this!

570 Voyager — By Capt. Bill Pike
January 2001
Cruise Ship
|The Carver 570 Voyager Pilothouse is just about as plush as she is roomy.
Boats have changed a lot over the past few decades. When I was living aboard a boxy, cramped, he-man cruiser called Misty during the early `80s, there was little more in her engine room than a diesel powerplant, a bilge pump, a couple of tanks, two batteries, and a five-gallon bucket. Gensets were for wimps, and so were A/C compressors, automatic fire extinguishers, waterheaters, and even--would you believe?--pressure-water systems.
Today most cruisers leave ol' Misty in the evolutionary dust. They're curvaceously voluminous by comparison, with interior elbow- and headroom to spare, and typically equipped with more auxiliary systems, appliances, and amenities than the average waterfront condominium. One of the acknowledged leaders in the field of such luxury cruisers is Carver Yachts, a Midwestern builder that recently introduced its largest offering to date, the 570 Voyager Pilothouse. With a three-stateroom, two-head layout that's both deluxe and roomy, the 570 takes the concept of comfortable modern cruising to a whole new level.
Although the large saloon, with its UltraLeather sofa (equipped with twin Flexsteel incliners) and top-of-the-line entertainment center (with 110-volt Harmon Kardon AM/FM stereo/CD) is certainly impressive from a sybaritic standpoint, as are the thoroughly outfitted galley, the spiffy VIP stateroom at the bow, and the acres of lounge space on the flying bridge, it's the master stateroom that best exemplifies what the 570 is all about. Accessed via a stairwell from the main deck, the natural-cherry-clad compartment is huge, with a full-beam span and a fore-aft dimension that accounts for almost one-third of the boat's length. On a recent five-day trip from Fort Lauderdale to the Hawk's Cay Resort at Islamorada, Florida, I found this space to be so expansive I occasionally felt like I was weekending on the top floor of somebody's swanky beach house.
Amenities were abundant. Besides a snoozy HandCraft innerspring mattress on the master's island berth, lustrous Karadon countertops, and solid cherry miniblinds over the opening ports, there were no fewer than three cedar-lined hanging lockers, five cabinets, and five enormous drawers in a built-in dresser. One of these babies alone was big enough to hold the contents of my whole seabag! Additionally, the en suite master head to port offered three separate, roomy realms: a central vanity with a sink, mirrored medicine cabinet, and smart, substantial faucets; a water closet aft, with a cherry-grillwork/frosted-panel entrance door, opening port, fan, and Wilcox Crittenden electric MSD; and a separate shower stall/tub area forward, with high-end shower wand, small fiberglass tub, and opening port.

Weber's Charcoal Grilling was the source for this recipe called Honey Glazed Ham with Black Eyed Peas and while I was prepping this recipe I fired up the BGE for smoking and threw on some sweet potatoes. When It was almost time to grill the ham steaks I put the sweet potatoes in a 225 degree oven for the last 15 minutes. This was the last meal I made for the guys working on my grill gazebo and it was a big hit. Hamsteak is my favorite meal, so it was a big hit with me.
The smoked sweet potatoes were rubbed with EVOO and seasoned with Kosher salt & black pepper. They are on an SR potato rack.
The sweet potatoes are on and will cook at 225 for 2 hours. I threw on a medium sized hickory chunk every hour.
The black eyed peas salsa used black eyed peas (duh), diced tomatoes, finely chopped Italian parsley, sliced scallions, EVOO, Kosher salt and black pepper.
The ingredients are cut up, measured out and are ready to mix.
The finished black eyed peas salsa is kept out at room temperature for 2 hours to help blend the flavors.
It is time to start grilling the hamsteaks, so the potatoes will finish up in the oven. Once the potatoes are off the Egg, I removed the Plate Setter & s/s grill and put in the cast iron grill and cranked the Egg up to 450 degrees for direct grilling the hamsteaks.
The glaze for the ham used Dijon mustard, chili powder, honey & EVOO.
The finished glaze & hamsteaks are ready to go out to the grill.
the hamsteaks are on the Egg.
The hamsteaks grilled for 8 minutes at 450 degrees and were turned 4 times.
The steaks are glazed with the honey glaze and grilled for 1-2 more minutes more. Glazing the steaks took another minute for a total of 3 minutes, In hindsight I should have pulled the steaks off to glaze them or reduce the cooking time to the 1 minute, not 2. They were starting to char on the back side, not too badly but lesson learned.
Time to eat! Honey Glazed Ham Steaks with Black Eyed Peas & Smoked Sweet Potatoes.
This meal had some great complimentary flavors going on. The honey & mustard in the glaze tasted great with the ham and the sweet potatoes are a natural pairing. The black eyed peas salsa was also a great pairing. This was the first time I think I've had black eyed peas and it certainly won't be the last.

DESPERATE pleas are being made to make school uniforms cheaper for pupils across Worcestershire.
A leading politician says many parents struggling with the cost of extra childcare, holidays and activities are forking out more and more for jumpers, skirts and blazers.
Councillor Richard Udall wants the county council to intervene by asking schools to allow families to buy items from more than a single shop.
He has cited a report from the Office for Fair Trading, which found that nearly three quarters of state schools place restrictions on where uniforms can be bought from.
He said: "It means parents are not able to take advantage of cheap offers in supermarkets and high street stores.
"As a result, families are paying between £5 and £10 extra on items such as jumpers, skirts and blazers.
"The cost of equipping children for a new school year can be a huge burden, especially during the summer when many parents are struggling with the cost of extra childcare, holidays and activities."
He said council chiefs needed to ensure the burden is kept as low as possible, by making sure no school was allowed to restrict uniform purchases "from a single shop".
He also called for a new push to help parents resell uniforms their children have grown out of to others, and an investigation into minimising the amount of changes schools are sometimes tempted to introduce to the clothing.
The call was rejected by Councillor Jane Potter, cabinet member for education and skills, despite her admitting that uniforms were expensive for parents.
"I do sympathise on this," she said.
"I know it is expensive, but it really has to be up to the governors at the schools when it comes to uniforms."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Coming off impressive Sunshine State Conference and NCAA Tournament runs, the Saint Leo men's and women's tennis teams garnered their highest rankings in program history as they were selected 14th and 10th in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Poll, it was announced Wednesday.
The women, who finished with a program-record 18 wins, including the first-ever win over Rollins in the NCAA Tournament, moved up one spot from last month's poll as they now stand at 14th in the country.
Individually, Laura Kemkes, an All-Sunshine State Conference First Team member, concluded the year as the nation's 14th-ranked singles player, while Adrianna Daszkiewicz made her first-ever appearance on the south region chart as she sits 20th.
The doubles tandem of Emily Singleton and Kemkes, also an All-SSC First Team duo, finished the year ranked ninth in the country and second in the region.
Breaking into the top-10 for the first time ever, the men compiled 16 wins, including the programs first-ever victory over Rollins at the SSC Tournament. That win over the Tars helped propel the Lions up seven spots to 11th in the country, their highest ranking of all time.
Aloua Adjenak, Victor Lozier, and Matt Nicholson-Lewis continued to be a staple in the singles poll. Adjenak wrapped-up the year at 29th, while Nicholson-Lewis and Lozier concluded the season 32nd and 41st, respectively. Additionally, all three Lions made an appearance on All-SSC team.
Nicholson-Lewis and Lozier, an All-SSC First Team doubles pair, completed the year 11th in the country and sixth in the region.

Did you know?
Leach's storm petrel, a very rare summer visitor, was found breeding on Dyer Island near Cape Town.
If you're a birder, a pelagic birding trip off South Africa could boost your lifer list dramatically.
South Africa has no less than 3 000 km of coastline, varying from warm tropical waters off KwaZulu-Natal to the icy, nutrient-rich currents washing against the Western Cape.
The country has over 100 pelagic species, so your sea birding will almost certainly be productive, depending on weather and season. Perversely, the rougher the weather, the better the sea birding, so don't forget seasick tablets.
Some birders say that sea birding off the Western Cape, specifically Cape Town, is some of the best in the world.
But let's start at Durban, a popular departure point for tropical birding trips, with a chance to see frigatebirds, tropicbirds and boobies. Generally, though, depending on the season, you're likely to see albatrosses (shy, black-browed and Indian yellow-nosed), petrels (white-chinned and pintado), flesh-footed shearwater and Antarctic terns.
If you're here in mid-winter (June or July), you may encounter the annual 'Sardine Run', a massive migration of these fish northwards. If you're lucky, you'll see hundreds of Cape gannets plummeting into the seas to catch them.
Midway points like East London also have their attractions, especially in May and June, with birds frequently flying so close that you'll hardly need your binoculars.
Take a pelagic birding trip out of Cape Town, and you'll hardly know where to look first, especially if there's a fresh wind blowing. You'll see a bewildering array of terns, cormorants and gulls.
Further out, you'll start encountering southern ocean seabirds. First prize is finding a fishing trawler and watching to see the bird extravaganza this brings. Winter is the best season – there are four species of albatrosses on offer, plus terns, treats like giant petrels, storm-bellied petrels, Antaractic prions and Antarctic fulmars.
Summer brings phalaropes, shearwaters, skuas and more.
You could also keep an eye out for whales, strange sunfish, Cape fur seals on the hunt, sharks and leaping dolphins.

How to get here
Pelagic birding trips mostly depart from Cape Town, East London and Durban - but check with individual operators.
Best time to visit
Winter (May to September) is the time when you'll see those elusive sub-Antarctic species, but the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn also yield good sightings.
Length of stay
Usually operators book a boat for a weekend, so that if the weather is unsuitable on one day, they can go out on the next. Set aside half a day, as a rule.
What to pack
Be prepared for anything. The best birding is to be had on windy, choppy days, so first take seasick tablets if in doubt. Dress in layers (even on a sunny day), ideally with a waterproof parka and leggings if you have them.
Don't forget your binoculars or your bird book, sunburn cream (even in winter), a hat and sunglasses.
What to eat
On most trips, there will be something to eat - sandwiches and the like. But being out at sea makes you hungry, so bring along some snacks of your own if in doubt.

Harrison's Sophia Gennusa will share role
Just announced today that the much-anticipated Broadway production of "Matilda" will alternate the demanding lead role among four young actresses, one of whom is from Westchester.
Sophia Gennusa, 9, from Harrison, is a veteran of Purchase College's famed "Nutcracker." (That's her, inset, when she was 7.)
She'll share the role — a girl whose parents are bad, but not as bad as her headmistress — with Oona Laurence, Bailey Ryon and Milly Shapiro. All are making their Broadway debuts in the musical based on Roald Dahl's story.
Performances begin March 4 and the show opens on April 11, 2013, at the Shubert Theater. Details at www.matildathemusical.com.

Planning to buy a car this year? You won't be alone, according to the Chase Auto Finance Dealer Survey. About 45 percent of dealers surveyed are planning for increased sales growth of 5 percent to 10 percent over last year, while another 37 percent are expecting growth of more than 10 percent.
Other than encountering more customers in the showroom, shoppers ready to buy a car also are quite likely to encounter a salesman that is new to selling cars. About 62 percent of the car dealers surveyed said they were "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to add staff to accommodate the increased demand, with 91 percent of them expecting to hire at least one employee and 28 percent of those expecting to hire more than six employees.
Buying a car from a salesman who is new to the business can be a positive or a negative experience, and quite likely a mix of both. In some cases, they may be less knowledgeable about the cars themselves, which can be hard on you if you're depending on them for key information. In other cases, they may be less experienced with handling negotiations, so they may depend on their manager more, possibly resulting in a more time-consuming negotiation process.
To help you get the best deal on the car itself as well as your car loan, follow our 10 Tips for Buying the Right Car in 2013.

Menifee's City Council isn't simply taking another look at laws governing underground bunkers and metal shipping containers. Mayor Scott Mann is considering two committees to dig into everyone's concerns before the City Council again reviews proposed ordinances that didn't generate enough support previously to warrant a vote.
"I grew up in the Midwest," Mann said. "I had a storm cellar in my house. My elementary and middle school had a fallout shelter because of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War. There's no reason why a resident shouldn't be able to put something under their property if that's what they feel they need to do. The responsibility of the government is to make sure public safety (codes) are adhered to."
Menifee's Planning Commission had hammered out the specifics of separate ordinances that would have governed detached underground bunkers and the use of metal shipping containers before recommending them to the council in April.
The council, however, did not vote on either -- no one seconded Councilman Greg August's motion to adopt the bunker ordinance and no one moved on the ordinance that would have allowed metal shipping containers on properties smaller than 5 acres -- after a number of concerns were raised on the dais.
Those issues ranged from concerns about Menifee's image to why other cities did not have laws allowing bunkers to not understanding why someone would have a practical use for a bunker.
The ultimate point, Councilman Tom Fuhrman said, is people should have the right to do what they please on their property. Although he was on vacation when the council originally considered the ordinances, he relayed his opinions his colleagues at the next meeting as dozens of people filed into City Hall to protest the council's decision not to pass the ordinances.
"People who buy property have the freedom to do what they want with it under the Constitution of the United States -- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," Fuhrman said when reached by phone Friday. "Of course, you have to get along with your neighbors. But if you've got no issues with your neighbors, then why can't someone do what they want with their property?"
Among Mann's reasons for not originally supporting the ordinance allowing underground detached facilities -- such as bunkers and wine cellars -- is the lack of neighboring cities having similar laws on their books.
Not only do Murrieta, Temecula and Perris not allow detached underground facilities, Community Development Director Carmen Cave said her staff could not find another city in the state with laws that allowed bunkers.
In hindsight, Mann said that leads him to believe California laws already allow them, which he has asked the city's staff to research.
"That tells me there's an existing statute for it," Mann said. "If so, all the city has to do is add it to its permitting process."
Either way, Councilman John Denver said a second look at both ordinances should make for a healthy discussion.
Although Denver said then that he believed neither bunkers nor shipping containers fit with the image of a growing upscale community, which he considers Menifee to be, the councilman said he could be persuaded to compromise on both.
"If it all makes sense, I'm not against underground wine cellars, basements and having a place to store your food -- although mine is in a closet in my house that's locked," Denver said. "I just don't know what the advantage of it is. If the police don't have a problem with them … then maybe I don't."
Even though the council will consider Tuesday establishing separate committees to look at two issues, Mann said the actual ordinances likely won't land on agendas until July.
The council will meet at 7 p.m. at 29714 Haun Road.

AMD wants to market this as easy to use, compatible, and portable to get gamers to buy Radeon products and to get devs to optimize for it (to win benchmarks).
Microsoft wants to market this as a totally different technology that isn't at all related to get gamers to believe the Xbone offers a unique experience that can't be had anywhere else.

teiglin - Friday, October 18, 2013 - linkThere's a legitimate abbreviation problem here, to be fair--XbOne would be the canonically correct capitalization for that particular abbreviation, but that looks awful, so I can imagine a particularly naive abbreviator writing Xbone in the days before that was a common way to mock, though obviously this far in it has to either be mockery or idiocy.

Alexvrb - Sunday, October 20, 2013 - linkKlimax, the performance benefits are said to be quite substantial. Also, no game vendor is going to use Mantle only in a PC title, so there's no real lock-in. If you'll recall days of yore, many games had a drop-down box allowing you to select from various render paths (allowing you to choose whatever worked best on your system). There's no reason they can't provide at least two render paths - Direct3D or OpenGL for compatibility with a broad range of graphics hardware, and Mantle as an option for GCN-based hardware.
Where I really see Mantle providing a huge benefit is in APUs - especially mobile low power variants. Mantle improves rendering performance, but it also can significantly reduce CPU overhead. In a GCN-based APU system, this would free up a lot of CPU cycles which will reduce bottlenecking in CPU-bound games. They're actually boosting their CPU performance indirectly with Mantle. I think this is going to provide a huge boost to Kaveri performance, if enough of the big licensed engines provide support (such as Frostbite). Reply

The Miami Dolphins are playing so well that Reshad Jones' somersault celebration has become a weekly feature, and he hopes to break it out against Tom Brady in prime time.
Jones has scored on an interception return two games in a row, punctuating each touchdown with an acrobatic vault across the goal line, to the consternation of his coaches and the delight of his teammates.
"I liked the second one better," Miami cornerback Jamar Taylor said, "because he did something with the ball — put it between his legs crazy."
The Dolphins have been in a fun-loving mood lately, reviving their season with back-to-back blowout wins after Dan Campbell replaced Joe Philbin as coach. The turnaround will be tested by Brady and company Thursday when Miami (3-3) plays at AFC East leader New England (6-0), one of five remaining unbeaten teams.

Kakenya Ntaiya
ranplett, Vetta/Getty Images
Photograph by Sharon Farmer
For thousands of families in Kenya, seven cows are more valuable than a girl's future.
Those cows, a typical bridal dowry in Maasai culture, prove so tempting that most fathers in rural areas decide their daughter's education will end and marriage begin by age 13. Traditionally this event is preceded by female genital circumcision, a mutilation that remains a mystery to the girls until the moment it is performed. The girls, children themselves, will immediately start their own families and live out their days carrying water from the river, gathering firewood, and tending the treasured cows.
Now, a building rises in one remote village that could change everything: The region's first and only primary school for girls. Its creation an act of sheer will, stubborn persistence, and inexplicable optimism on the part of Kakenya Ntaiya.
Not long ago, Ntaiya was a village girl herself. Firstborn of eight children, Ntaiya shouldered unusual responsibilities even by local standards. Her father, a policeman, worked in a distant city. His absence, the lack of an older brother, and extreme poverty required Ntaiya to plow her own fields as well as work side by side with men on sugarcane farms. Helping feed and care for younger siblings also fell to Ntaiya, and on the frequent nights when food was scarce, she and her mother went without it.
When Ntaiya was five, her parents announced her engagement to a six-year-old neighbor. "I looked at this boy," she recalls, "whose family was even poorer than my own. I looked at all my mother's anger and pain. I looked at this hopeless future in front of me and I said, No way."
School was her lone bright spot. She made excellent grades, admired her teachers, and hoped to some day become one herself. "I lived in a hut made of grass and mud that we shared with goats and sheep. But I had dreams. I kept pictures of beautiful green places with nice homes and somehow knew there was a different life out there."
In a district where even today only 11 percent of girls continue past primary school, Ntaiya negotiated with her father to be that she would only be circumcised if she was allowed to complete high school. He agreed and after graduation, she was accepted at a teachers college in Kenya and a university in the United States. But, she says, "by then my father was in the hospital, paralyzed. We had sold almost everything to pay for his care, so there was no money for college, especially in the U.S."
Although shunned for attempting what few boys dreamed of, Ntaiya finally persuaded a key village leader to help. His sway gave her the community and financial support to continue the education that would change her life—and the lives of other girls in that same village today. Ntaiya is completing her Ph.D. in education in the U.S. and directing the school for girls she has launched in her hometown.
Ntaiya's Academy for Girls stands in stark contrast to other local rural schools, where classrooms overflow with 70 children per teacher. Attendance is compulsory through sixth grade, but in a culture that considers educating girls a bad investment since most will leave to marry by age 13, teachers focus on boys. Social custom trains women to never look men in the eye and to move out of their way on the road. Not surprisingly, girls shrink in the classroom, afraid to compete, raise hands, or seek help. Many are held back year after year, give up, and drop out.
To reverse that trend, Ntaiya believes excellent primary education is crucial. Now in its second year, her academy has 60 girls and four teachers, with a fifth to be hired soon. The school plans to accept 30 new girls each year. "We keep class sizes very small," she explains, "so each girl receives a great deal of individual attention. We've also extended the school year with extra weeks in the summer focusing on English and math."
Kenya holds national examinations for all eighth graders. Those who score best earn entrance to top high schools, further improving their chances for limited spots at universities. "When the top 100 names from the exams are published in the newspaper," Ntaiya reports, "no one from our community is ever mentioned. I'm going to make sure my girls are on that list."
Along with promoting rigorous academics, her school nurtures leadership skills. "After just a few months here, they become completely different people," Ntaiya observes. "In a girls-only environment they lead, make decisions, speak up, and gain confidence. They're smart and thriving. They just needed a chance."
A health course gives girls information they would not otherwise receive on circumcision, the consequences of sex and early pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and their personal rights. Already the school has intervened with help from authorities to prevent a circumcision at the request of a fourth grader.
While Ntaiya insists that families who can pay tuition do so, she also works with donors to provide scholarships for girls living in extreme poverty and at high risk of child marriage. Today she focuses on completing classroom and dormitory construction so students from distant villages can board at the school. "What I need most right now," she says with a smile, "are bricks and cement."
Ntaiya hopes her academy will be a model replicated in other remote areas. "I'm helping girls who cannot speak for themselves. Why should they go through the hardships I endured? They'll be stepping on my shoulders to move up the ladder—they're not going to start on the bottom."
