Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach their customers by December 14, 2012
Hyundai Motors Co. and Kia Motors are both in hot water
over exaggerated estimated gas mileage claims
, and the senate wants answers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee who oversees auto issues, wants Hyundai and Kia to explain how it will reach and compensate its 900,000 customers after inflating its MPG claims.
So far, Hyundai and Kia have said they would reimburse customers and add a 15 percent premium by sending out debit cards that can be reloaded in the future. The automakers could spend over $100 million compensating for their exaggerations.
"While I believe this is a positive step, I am concerned that many affected customers may not learn about the program or may find it burdensome to participate in the program," said Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach these customers by December 14, 2012.
The Kia Soul got hit hard with the revised EPA ratings
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
Some of the MPG window stickers that will require a change include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Character and Jutsu Names
I'm just curious...why are all the character names backwards? In the manga releases, as well as in the original Japanese (I confess I don't watch the anime, so I'm not sure if it's the same there), the names of the characters are Clan name, First name.
- Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, etc., etc.
So why are we calling them Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno? I mean, if this has already been discussed, please pardon me, but if it hasn't, shouldn't we stick as close to the original Japanese as possible? Jhbartlett 20:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- This is an english speaking (I would assume, as I can read everything) Wikia. Therefore, we go by Given Name first, then Clan/Family name second. Its just an English Speaking thing.--TheUltimate3 21:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but in the English-speaking manga, their names are even given "clan name, first name". Besides, I would also argue for the different jutsus to be given their Japanese names, then English translations...aka:
- Kagebunshin no jutsu! (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger)...which is how it's done in the manga.
Although I think that might be how it's set up already...not sure. But mostly, I'm saying we should stick as close to the Japanese as possible, while still being comprehensible. Really, I just like how the manga does it in terms of names and jutsus. And the words ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu all come from Kanji...why aren't we translating those into ninja arts, physical arts, and illusory arts?
- I prefer the Japanese for some too. Others I feel its much easier to use the direct english translation. (For example: on Wikipedia there was a debate going on about a Seal placed on Naruto. One Editor kept refering it as the Shiki Fujin, and I was completely lost. It wasn't until someone called it Dead Demon Consuming Seal did I finally get it.) However it would be MUCH MUCH easier to deal with stuff if they were in a language the majority could use. With that said the reason why we don't translate thoes to Ninja Arts, Illusionary Arts, yada yada yada is because for the most part, we are following Wikipedia's design. If I have read want Dantman has said, we are trying to use Wikipedia as a base as there is another Wiki somewhere using Original stuff. Same reason why we don't translate the Kekkei Genkai's.--TheUltimate3 22:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree, I didn't recognize the ice kekkei genkai by name earlier...well, ok, I say there needs to be a translation under some of the less familiar names, but for the most part, try as best as you can to go with the Japanese. Translation is like one step removed from the actual canon. It's one word, I think...shikifūjin...maybe. I'm not sure. But still...increase your knowledge of the subject, you know? Jhbartlett 22:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Which is why we use direct translation. Take Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu. "no Jutsu" means Technique, the "no" doesn't really mean anything. Goukakyu stands for Great Fireball, and we all know Katon means Fire Release. This way we use the easier to use english version while still keeping the direct meaning.--TheUltimate3 22:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes and no. Again, I'm proposing that we use the English translation parenthetically. For example, the Kuchiyose Edotensei move. It's got a bunch of translations. And I only really know it by the Japanese, or the manga translation, which was summoning reanimation, according to Shonen Jump. Hmm, plus, it enriches people's brains with foreign vocab. :D Jhbartlett 23:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- If their minds need to be enriched by foregin vocab, they can read a book, which I seriously encourage because I too need to learn a different language. Regardless as there are many translations and possible translations Great Fireball can go by Blaze of Glory, Fireball Jutsu, and Goukakyu. The only thing everything agrees on is that it was originally Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu, which is directly translated to Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. So we list the all possible translations, but have the article use the direct translation. This way we don't opinionate the Wikia, favoring one source over another.--TheUltimate3 23:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I can understand the reasoning for using Technique, but jutsu names aren't even translated using the word Technique in the English Dub. Perhaps while we are translating jutsu names, it would be a good idea to keep it named Jutsu instead of Technique. True, Jutsu may literally translate into Technique by language. But not by what it is. A Jutsu is still a jutsu, because Technique could refer to either a Jutsu, or a normal technique or skill that isn't a Jutsu. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 28, 2007 @ 10:45 (UTC)
Like when Orochimaru describes his quest to uncover all jutsus: he said to the Sandaime that he had unlocked the key with which to be able to do this: Fufushin no jutsu (if I am not mistaken, the words "no jutsu" are in there), which translates to "The Art of Immortality". However, this isn't really a technique; it's an ongoing process. Just thought I'd back Dantman up here. Jhbartlett 14:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- And I'm obviously alone on this one but I still insist keeping to the direct translations. Like I said there are many translations or possible translations, as both of you pointed out while Jutsu stands for Technique, in Jhbartlett's translations its Art. So we should still use the direct translation of the techniques for the title, and in the (Name: section percede to have the usual Direct Translation,Kanji,Japanese Name,Various English Translations.--TheUltimate3 20:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm still for Literal translations as titles, with a few cases of words that can be left not changed to literal form. One of those being keeping the actual word "Jutsu" inside of the Jutsu names, as there is no real form of the series which refers to a Jutsu replacing the word "Jutsu" with the word "Technique". A Jutsu is still a Jutsu whether you are speaking in Japanese or English, it's a Loan word, it's just like calling Choji "Butterfly" because that's the literal meaning of his name.
- I should actually point out something. The naming standard you are setting Jutsu articles to is actually contradicting itself. You say we should use the direct literal translation of Jutsu names. So we would name the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Shadow Clone Technique instead of Shadow Clone Jutsu. However, quite prominently the Rasengan is still named Rasengan, despite the fact that by the naming standard you are mentioning, all of the titles should be using Spiraling Sphere in the title.
- Which is why I'm saying that it's best if we do use literal translations for titles, but omitting translation of certain words which are carried over to the English versions in ways which the readers are actually going to be looking for those words. Namely words like "Jutsu", "Rasengan", and "Chidori". A reader is going to try and find Shadow Clone Jutsu(Notice, that at the time of writing this, this extremely popular name, is a redlink), not Shadow Clone Technique, whatever source they get their Jutsu name from, they're going to look for the Jutsu, not a Technique, because every version from Japanese, to Fansub translation, to English version uses Jutsu, never Technique. Using Technique instead of Jutsu confuses readers more than helps them, and the whole point of translating names was to make it easier for English speakers to remember them. If someone is going to try to track down a set of Jutsu and come up with bad names every time because they were looking for a Jutsu, when the page is named Technique, then we're almost better off using romanized names of Jutsu. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Feb 9, 2008 @ 17:30 (UTC)
- Your words are true....I would bend to using Jutsu in the titles instead of Technique if it would help. Though it would be really helpful if we had the appropriate names linking to all the articles (For example Shadow Clone Technique would be linked to Shadow Clone Jutsu, Kage Bushin no Jutsu, the very complicated Japanese characters which I can't link to because I'm typing this, Art of the Doppleganger, Shadow Clone no Jutsu (early translation), and so on an so forth, but we all know thats dang near impossible (given the number of techniques that are out there and how much time it would take to find them. Like I've said previously though, the main reason why I want to use Direct Translations is because of how volatile the names have become, and to appease everyone involved focus on their true names, translated into English instead of biasing them through a certain medium. (And speaking of calling Rasengan and Chidori, wel Rasengan and Chidori instead of Spiraling Sphere and One Thousand Birds, both of which I've grown used to, that change was done when I followed the doctrine, "When Wikipedia does it, we'll do it." When Wikipedia re-named Spiraling Sphere and One Thousand Birds Rasengan and Chidori, I made the change here.)--TheUltimate3 17:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well we don't need to mimic Wikipedia completely, especially when there's some way we can do it that is better for the readers than Wikipedia is. But truthfully, the current naming statement is inconsistent with both itself, and our other naming schemes. I've already stated why it's inconsistent with itself. But it's also inconsistent with how we rationalize other schemes. Normally there are 2 relevant things we rationalize things with:
- If the Japanese series uses a term, and the English series uses both the literal translation of that term (or it's own created term), and also uses the Japanese term as a loan word then we use the Loan word because it's used in both series. (This is why we use Konohagakure instead of Hidden Leaf Village, and primarily use Shinobi instead of Ninja).
- If the Japanese series uses a term, and the English series uses the same term as a Loan word, and doesn't use the real literal meaning of the word, then we just stick with using the Loan word. (Which would be why Jutsu fits better than Technique)
- You mean creation of redirects, and converting the use of Translation into Jutsu in both the definition in articles and links? That kind of thing can be fixed up with bots. It'll be especially easy with an infobox where the proper names are stuck into parameters. Plus, we're going to have to go over and edit every Jutsu article we have anyways. Once we get the Jutsu infoboxes they'll all need editing to put that in anyways. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Feb 27, 2008 @ 16:44 (UTC)

But it's also inconsistent with how we rationalize other schemes. Normally there are 2 relevant things we rationalize things with:
A Thousand Years of Death
I agree. We should be as close to Japanese as possible. A hand seal taijutsu technique is named A Thousand Years of Death. But look. They have Death for 1000 Years, Pain for 1000 Years, A Thousand Years of Pain, One Thousand Years of Death, One Thousand Years of Pain, Thousand Years of Death, Thousand Years of Pain, Sennen Goroshi, and Sennen Gurushi. And look at how they start of: Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ougi, Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu, Konohagakure's most Secret and Sacred technique, Secret ninja technique of the Hidden Leaf School, and even Sacred Taijutsu. They can at least stick to a U.S., Dub, and Japanese one only.
And also I would like to know abput element descriptions: __ton, ____ Style, and ____ Release. Release is just not suitable. Kakashi Namikaze 17:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Katon literally translates to Fire Release. As such that is the best one to use, as it doesn't favor one form of media over the other. (For example: I myself do not watch the English version of the TV. Therefore I would not use the term Fire Style, I would prefer Katon. However there are people who do prefer the term Fire Style over Katon because they do like the English version.) Therefore the middle ground is met to use the direct translation of the Japanese text, which in this case is Fire Release.
Now for Thousand Years of Death, that thing just has ALOT of names. so its pretty much a /shrug on that one.--TheUltimate3 12:24, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the cases I mentioned for differing from absolute literal translation were just a few to stick to. Primarily technique/jutsu and the absolutely extremely one sided jutsu names like Rasengan and Chidori. Partly because it doesn't make to much sense to use a literal translation when the Japanese and English versions of the series agree on the same name for a Jutsu. Oh, though just a note about literal translation. Translating literally doesn't always mean you preserve word order 100%, "Uzumaki Naruto Rendan" doesn't necessarily mean "Uzumaki Naruto Combo", it falls under the "name Combo" form, where the name portion falls under the rules for translating a character's name. One of which is name order, it's highly inconsistent if we translate character names one way in one place, and then another way in another place. So in this case it should be "Naruto Uzumaki Combo". ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Mar 29, 2008 @ 21:45 (UTC)
..tsk tsk tsk
none of you answered the original question. it goes by the last name and then the first name becuase thats the more formal way. even here in america, on tests and in other written things, such as files and ..well yah anyway the last name goes first , then the first name. thats why people are announced with their last name and then their first name...
- You are right but they would put a comma. (ex. Uchiha, Sasuke and not Uchiha Sasuke) I think the oral format is "given name surname" but written format is "surname, given name". Kakashi Namikaze 15:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- In Western languages, for that matter. In Eastern regions, the family name goes before the given name for honorific reasons. Proclaiming your family first is bringing honor to the family, as you show respect in that sort of way. For that reason in places like China, children are sometimes brutalized into becoming the ideal "clansman," to continue the family honor. Loss of honor to the family degrades the family's status, and brings shame upon them. --Dubtiger 22:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, the north-american "Last, First" form has nothing to do with honorifics. It's sorting. The "Last, First" system was created to ease the use of automated sorting, and making searching by lists easier and more readable. It groups people with the same last name together, and as a additional result when you scan a list with your eyes you can easily find the last name, and then finding the first name is easier because all the first names have the same indentation into the page because of having the same last name. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Apr 1, 2008 @ 06:02 (UTC)
- I did not mean to say that Western languages do that for honorifics. Sorry if it was unclear. --Dubtiger 21:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

it goes clan name-given name because they think the clan name is more important. Haru Mclean Namikaze (talk), Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn 18:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
doesn't it start with last name then first name because of the way they write lol they "do" read backwards lol nah only joking but it must be something to do with japan and maybe china because they use the last name first in a few things such as dynasty warriors ect

Subclinical hypocalcemia is a threat to transition cow health, and there is evidence that it is a greater threat than previously thought.
Until recently, the prevalence of subclinical hypocalcemia in fresh cows was unknown, explains Heather Dann with the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, N.Y.
To assess its prevalence, researchers collected blood from 1,462 cows (480 herds in 21 states) within 48 hours of calving and analyzed for calcium. Surprisingly, 47 percent of cows had subclinical hypocalcemia, which was defined as serum calcium < 2.0 mM or < 8 mg/dL. Cows did not have clinical signs of milk fever. Subclinical hypocalcemia increased with age and was present in 25%, 41%, 49%, 51%, 54% and 42% of first through sixth lactation cows, respectively. The normal homeostatic response to hypocalcemia may have limits with a cow's age and may contribute to greater or prolonged hypocalcemia in older cows.
Dann explains more in the December 2012 Miner Institute Farm Report.

I have heard before that it is considered bad juju in the BBQ world to not name your grill and if you don't name it that you will not have good cooks or results. I know Diva Q has a cooker named "Trudy", Mike (BarkShark BBQ) named his Stump Stretch "Angus" (Awesome grill BTW) and I have never named my current grill. I feel that may be why I have had issues with my past cooks so with the new grill coming soon I have decided I need to name my current grill and my barrel cooker PBC that is coming.
With that in mind I have now decided that my current offset grill shall from here on out be known as "Freenie" because I got it free from my inlaws because they bought it and I used it there until the smoke caused my mother in law to not be able to breathe so the grill had to go and I was the recipient of that exit.
The PBC being a barrel cooker I have decided it shall be known as "Barry" the barrel cooker.
What have you named your grills and do you believe in this superstition?

A TEENAGER was robbed of his bicycle as he cycled home across a playing field in Clacton.
The 13-year-old was surrounded by four youths during the incident, which happened at the playing fields at Rush Green Road.
Investigating officer Det Con Claire Strachan said they kicked the back of his bike, causing him to fall to the ground.
They then stole the bike, which is described as a black and white 'Big Daddy' BMX with black plastic wheels.
"This must have been a very distressing ordeal for the boy involved, who was simply trying to cycle home," said Det Con Strachan.
"I really need to speak to anyone who may have seen these boys in the area of the playing fields on Saturday afternoon."
The suspects were boys aged 15 to 17, white, and were wearing hooded tops and tracksuits.
The incident happened at about 4.30pm on Saturday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det Con Strachan at Clacton CID on 101.

Need a reliable Proton Mobile Car Mechanic in Stalybridge?
Didn't do the job. Broke my car so it's now undrivable and keeps ignoring any connect when asked to come and sort the problem out!!!
Spent £550 and its still broke. Seeking legal advice currently. I drove 8 miles before ringing the AA. Took over 4 days. Doesn't text back, really angry. Got an 8 week old just before Xmas and I've been totally ripped off.
Turned up on Monday night as discussed and completed the job, highly recommended
Absolutely brilliant service i wont use anyone else now
Really impressed with TRL Motors, the job took a lot longer than expected due to seized parts but the guys were fantastic and did a great job. The price also remained as quoted despite this. I would recommend them to anyone.

Missed the Boat? is a mission given to protagonist Huang Lee by his Uncle Wu Lee in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Mission Briefing
Uncle Kenny wants Huang to take a boat and head out to sea to meet a dealer carrying some drugs for him. Huang gets to the stalling boat and quickly heads out to the dealer, escape from coast guards and bring them back to shore.
Once you have watched the cutscene, drive to the indicated location. Once there get in the indicated boat. You will have two minutes to get to the dealers boat, so motor it away. Your boat's engine will soon fail, and you will have to play a minigame where you will need to restart it (instructions are ingame), once you get to the dealer he will give you the drugs. But then a coast guard helicopter will fly over you. Now you will need to escape the coast guard and head back to the indicated jetty. The boat will stall on occasions, so watch out. A small "Boat Health" meter will appear at the top of the screen, don't let this deplete. Once you lose the helicopter head to the indicated jetty whilst avoiding the Coast Guard Dinghys. Once you get to the jetty the mission is complete.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the boat at the nearby jetty
- Get to the mobsters' rendezvous before they leave
- The Coast Guard have spotted you. Lose them
- You've lost the Coast Guard. Take the contraband to the jetty
The reward for this mission is 10 Heroin and a new safehouse in Lower Easton; the next two missions, Cash and Burn and Sa-boat-age, are also unlocked.
Mission Replay description
"The big boss, Hsin, wanted us to start working with the mob.
Uncle Kenny sent me to bring in some of their contraband coming in by the boat.
I got into some shit with the coast guard, thanks to a piece of crap boat Uncle Kenny provided."

I do not recall Yamato appearing in Shippuuden #1. --Dubtiger 03:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's just for a short moment, at least in the anime.Jacce 10:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I know this is old, but I think we should put his real appearance in episode 33 and just put that he made a short cameo in episode 188.8.131.52.100 (talk) 04:24, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
- *agrees* ~SnapperTo 19:56, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
- I still agree with this, especially in regards to the [current] dispute over Sai's debut. Sai's and Yamato's appearance in episode 1 are worth a trivia point at best, just as Obito's cameos before his Gaiden debut are placed in trivia. ~SnapperTo 02:31, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. Make it happen.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 03:05, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

The image here isn't good at all. It looks like overzealous fan art more than a canonical image from the series. And it certainly doesn't properly depict what he looks like. Could someone find a better image and upload it with a good file name and tag it with a fair use rationale so we can replace this one with it. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Apr 5, 2008 @ 21:48 (UTC)
- It has been replaced.....with a non-liensed non-fair used image. Also, don't you think Yamato should be Tenzo? You have his real name, so why don't use it instead of using a fake name given by Tsunade? --Kakashi Namikaze Talk, Contribs 01:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Cause if memory serves me correctly, more people user Yamato. Hell even Yamato prefers Yamato over Tenzo.--TheUltimate3 01:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Remember Tobi and Madara Uchiha? If a character has a real name, then we use their real name for the title and infoboxes. What name we use in-content though depends on the context of the section. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jun 10, 2008 @ 04:14 (UTC)
Well remember, Yamato doesn't have a real name, Tenzo was actually still another ANBU name assigned, Tsunade just gave him a different one, and he prefers that one.--YamatoSan (talk) 17:20, August 7, 2011 (UTC)YamatoSan
Spoiler tag
Isen't there anyway to shorten the spoiler tag, so the text can be next to the info box, not below it? Jacce 14:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
yamato on the mission with sai and anko to find where kabuto is..--Stevenji 05:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- True, but for verification, we need to wait for the scanlation before we add it to the article. --Mewshuji 10:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Everyone calls him Yamato, and "Tenzo" was only mentioned once or twice. And didn't it call him Yamato in the Data Book? ~~Zeus~~
- No matter, his real name is Tenzo, as stated by Kakashi. End of discussion. Jacce 21:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Even though he's genetic source is Hashirama Senju, shud it be stated as his family??? Hashirama Senju's not really any part of his family, he was just genetically altered by Orochimaru...Technically if he's related to Hashirama Senju, he shud also be related to Tobirama Senju and Tsunade...AlienGamer | Talk 11:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree --Thejluninja (talk) 00:31, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
Well a family shares genes? so I think it's correct to put Hashirama Senju in family and well it's only a little part of Yamato that's Hashirama so it wouldn't be enough to be related to any other of Hashirama's family
According to the third databook, he graduated the academy at age 6 and at the same age, he became a chuunin. Could it be verified by you guys as well and placed in his article? - MadaraU (talk) 06:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
i think the water release should also added in the abilities section.--Narutodude (talk) 19:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Narutodude
- It is mentioned under Wood Element Techniques. Jacce | Talk 19:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't his highest rank be listed as Jonin? He is in the same situation as Kakashi, he is a Jonin who was serving in the Anbu. Anbu is composed of chunin and jonin level shinobi, therefore it's not a rank higher than jonin in itself. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 17:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- The ANBU is composed of any person deemed fit, not just jōnin and chūnin. Generally, it is considered higher than jōnin, although technically it doesn't belong to the same hierarchy. That said, Yamato isn't a jōnin, he's just an ANBU. For all ew know, he never even held the rank of jōnin. Yamato's situation is completely different from Kakashi's --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- This reminds me why does kakashi have Jonin instead of ANBU Captain ?Kyuubinaruto123 (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- Kakashi has jōnin and not ANBU because the ranking between these two ranks isn't entirely clear. As I said before, ANBU and jōnin are from entirely different hierarchies, meaning they cannot be simply compared. Because of this, and the fact that Kakashi has been a jōnin since way before the start of the series and has done most of his major acts as a jōnin and not as an ANBU, we decided to put in the jōnin rank instead of the ANBU rank.
- If I'm not mistaken, steps are being taken to put both ranks in his infobox, though. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- This reminds me why does kakashi have Jonin instead of ANBU Captain ?Kyuubinaruto123 (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Kekkei Genkai?
Is the Wood Release really a Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit)? If so, the Second Hokage (First Hokage's brother) and the Fifth Hokage (First Hokage's granddaughter) should also have those abilities. However, why do they not have those abilities?—This unsigned comment was made by Geijustu wa bakuhatsu da (talk • contribs) .
- Wood release is without doubt a blood limit, although some blood limits, like Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku, only appears to some people in the clan. Jacce | Talk 16:27, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
Since Tenzo is an Anbu who worked for Danzo should we say he has Danzos seal.....i mean even if not shown. Should we put in the trivia as this is a mistake by Kishimoto?? —This unsigned comment was made by JaiBoogie (talk • contribs) .
- Tenzo was never stated to work for danzo, he worked in the anbu; while danzo runs a sub division of the anbu. Simant (talk) 03:25, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
New Jutsu?
Is the jutsu from chapter 396 page 9, mention anywhere? In that chapter is said: Earth Element: Winding Fissure and in the anime - Earth Style: Planet Splitter. I can not understand what he says in Japanese. Why it is not mention anywhere?--Donatelo (talk) 22:24, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
- Probably the way they decided to translate it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:33, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
- That would be Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide. Earth Release: Winding Fissure redirects to it. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:36, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
It says in abilities "As a Jōnin, and a temporarily relieved member of the ANBU etc." so should you put him as a Jonin in the info box because you obviously have him listed as a jonin in the abilities section... --126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:38, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Fixed it. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 20:44, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
Different Wood Releasers?
I was just wondering, Tenzo has, unlike Danzo and Hashirama Senju, never used actual trees with leaves and branches in the manga; should that be pointed out? I know that the "Wood Release: Great Forest Technique" is named like it is, but unless I'm completely mistaken it is used http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/340/12/ I don't think it looks like a tree (although it says so in the techniques description on this wikia), it just looks like wood. --126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
- It seems to me like that is either a result of using different techniques, or of personal preference. Tenzō creates ordinary trees in chapter 316. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 14:39, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
Name Change
According to the Third Databook, the name Tenzō is also a codename. Since both of his names are codenames and he is best known under the name Yamato, I suggest using the latter and moving the article accordingly. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:57, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- If you can give us a picture, page, or translation and what not, I would gladly, gladly move the page myself. Hell I'd change the instances that Tenzo used in each article myself.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:57, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds like you really dislike the name Tenzō... I think that is a point we can agree on, then.
- From the Third Databook, page 338; the glossary section:
- テンゾウ●かつてヤマトに付けられていたコードネーム。元・暗部のカカシは、馴染み深いこの名でヤマトを呼ぶことがある。
- Tenzō: The codename previously used to refer to Yamato. As a former ANBU, Kakashi is intimately acquainted with this name and [still] uses it to refer to Yamato.
- --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:26, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, the original name should be used, such as Tokichi instead of Sazanami, or Hōki instead of Mōsō. Yatanogarasu 22:16, January 30, 2010
- The point is that neither of the names is Yamato's original name. They are both codenames, one being in active use (Yamato) and one being obsolete (Tenzō), possibly for more than a decade. I would agree with you if one was his actual name, but with things being as they are, I would rather use the more current name. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 11:56, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
Tenzō of the Mokuton? Where did that come from? Okay, so he uses Wood Release, but nobody said his nickname is named after that, unless I forgot or missed about a chapter or something. Yatanogarasu 22:12, January 30, 2010
- Third Databook, page 175. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 11:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
this picture is terrible could someone please put in a new one?--220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:20, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
- What's wrong with it? Give a good reason for it to be changed and it will.

If Yamato was one of the 60 infants injected with the First Hokages genes, persumably when he was an infant, and Orochimaru supposedly left Konoha shortly after, and Anko was a student of Orochimaru while he was still in Konoha, why is Anko(24) two years younger than Yamato(26)? Am I missing something here?
- Soon after could be a relative term while I question whether it's infants or Orphans.
¥Super Novice ↔ Talk 2 Me ¥22:12, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
- "Yamato was abducted by Orochimaru and became one of sixty children..." Children, not infants. Broader age range. ~SnapperTo 22:31, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, Anko is two years older than Yamato. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 00:35, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
I know this is old but I'd like to rectify what ShounenSuki said; Yamato and Anko are both age mates. Anko was 24 in part 1 so should be 26-27 in part 2 and Yamato is 26. Iyineda (talk) 18:13, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
- You not only revived a long-dead discussion, but you also rectified me incorrectly. Please let me rectify your rectification: Anko was 24 according to the first databook, while Yamato was 26 according to the third. Four years have passed between the first and third databooks (e.g. Naruto went from 12 in the first to 16 in the third), so Anko should be 28 during the time of the third databook, making her 2 years older than Yamato. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 18:26, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
Face of Fear
I'm gonna put up some pictures of Yamato's "control you with fear" face and leave it for the higher-ups to decide which one goes in. --WhiteArmor (Talk) 09:50, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
Here are the candidates. --WhiteArmor (Talk)
- Well, even though I put all of them up, I thought that 3 was the best (it's daytime and he's wearing clothes), but like I said the first time, I leave it to the higher-ups. --WhiteArmor (Talk)
- I would go for number three as well. Four is pretty good as well. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 15:24, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
They're both good, but I agree that number one looks more menacing. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:18, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
Hey, Shounen, there's a problem, when I tried to add it, the pictures overlapped the stats. --|WhiteArmor|(Talk)|--
Main Protagonist
Maybe I'm wrong but is Yamato really a main protagonist of the series like it is stated in the first sentence?
I think the trivium saying that he has a Kekkei Genkai despite not being a member of the appropriate clan holds no merit. Wood Release isn't a Kekkei Genkai unique to the Senju clan OR defining the Senju Clan. Plus, the only guy who ever had it was Hashirama Senju, but it had nothing to do with him being a Senju. Elemental Kekkei Genkai are generally like that, they're not a clan birthright but a unique occurrence, as evidenced by Haku and Mei. Xfing (talk) 14:19, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Haku's kekkei genkai came from his mother's clan. It was certainly not a unique occurrence. With the Fifth Mizukage, we do not have enough information to say anything about this, yet.
- Despite being unique to the First Hokage, Wood Release was most certainly defining of the Senju clan. Hence the clan's nickname, the Senju clan of the Forest. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 14:54, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Yamato cheap?
In his personality section it states "Yamato is somewhat reluctant to pay for things unless he has to..." Kind of at odds with the money he spent at the hot springs, out of his own pocket mind you. Remember that feast? Arrancar79 (talk) 01:09, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- He did that so he could slip a tracker into Sai's food. Sort of fits the "unless he has to". ~SnapperTo 03:17, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- True, but who wants to get stuck with the check? :) I could see if it was a running gag or something, but it just seems odd if it's the one example. Arrancar79 (talk) 03:32, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
more pictures
this page needs some more pictures don't you agree? it only has 4 for someone that is present in most of the shippuuden chapters at least put one or two in the Part II section thanks --188.8.131.52 (talk) 07:05, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
Yamato as the Hokage's Clone?
"And that copy of the first Hokage named "Yamato" is accompanying Naruto as well"
worthy of mention. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 02:49, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
- In the correct context, it's mentioned several times already. I think you're taking more from what Kabuto said than is actually there. ~SnapperTo 03:06, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
Snapper2 is right. Kabuto only calls Yamato the First Hokage's "copy" merely only because of abilities to use Wood Style ninjutsu.--NinjaSheik 03:09, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
Should a jutsu page be created for those wooden heads used during Naruto's wind training? They don't seem to be the same as Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique — Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands, and its databook entry only describes the technique used in chapter 296.--Deva 27 23:04, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
I was going to say something about this earlier, but I just wasn't sure. ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 23:38, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I think so the ritual seems different enough although just slightly and the pups actually absorb the chakra. Although mentioning it as a variant on the Hokage Style....page would be fine also.--Cerez☺ (talk) 23:40, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Also, i was thinking, whenever Yamato suppresses someone's chakra those pups appear like with Naruto during his training and Kisame with the stocks. But unlike the Hokage Style...it doesn't actually make you for want of a better word 'pass out' like when he used it on Naruto (although i'll admit that could've been from exhaustion or any other reason) ? --Cerez☺ (talk) 14:56, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
Distant Relationship ?
When Orochimaru conducted his experiment to make a clone of the First Hokage to get Wood Style, only Yamato survived. Is it possible that Yamato has an unknown relationship with either the Senju or Uchiha clan ? Similar to how in Naruto Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, only members from the royal blood line were able to infuse their bodies with a Stone of Gelel, a similar situation might exist with Yamato and the First Hokage's DNA. --speysider (talk) 21:06, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Possible, but no concrete evidence or implication anywhere to even bother mentioning it in the article. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:07, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- That's true, could always say "It is unconfirmed if Yamato had a distant relationship with either the Senju or Uchiha clan that allowed him to contain the DNA of Hashirama Senju", but it's up to you. --speysider (talk) 21:11, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Too speculative. If this had been implied in some way like Ginkaku and Kinkaku, yes, but that's not the case. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:13, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- That's true, could always say "It is unconfirmed if Yamato had a distant relationship with either the Senju or Uchiha clan that allowed him to contain the DNA of Hashirama Senju", but it's up to you. --speysider (talk) 21:11, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
Taking into consideration that we are not aware of his true name, it's possible. --Elveonora (talk) 23:37, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

I know that there is a large following for shaptons and choseras, but I chose Nubatamas because they tend to mimic the nature of natural stones and finishes, which I personally find attractive.

Corsham residents now have the chance to celebrate their unsung heroes, after nominations opened for the town's community awards.
Five awards will be given out to notable people at the town council's annual public meeting on April 18, to pay tribute to work done by volunteers in the community.
The categories are neighbourhood, sports, the arts and environment, plus one youth award for under-18s.
Nicola Chruszcz, the community and information officer for the town council, said: "Corsham Town Council would like to reward individuals or groups for their dedication to and enthusiasm for making Corsham a better place to live, work and visit.
"We would like to recognise and promote these committed individuals and groups within the community and celebrate their fantastic efforts."
Nominees do not have to live in Corsham, but their contribution must, in some way, benefit the parish.
Nomination forms are available from the town hall or can be downloaded online at www.corsham.gov.uk.
The nomination process closes on March 8.

I have a way to cut the state's $2 billion deficit significantly while keeping members of the General Assembly, the state's constitutional officers and assorted bureaucrats busy doing something meaningful for a change. Impossible, you say? Hear me out.
Georgia's lawmakers have always been willing to approve tax breaks for the state's business leaders and special interests, but they have really stepped on the gas since Republicans took control of the House and Senate four years ago.
When you are over 75, you've been through recessions before. The economic experts say the market hasn't been this low since 1982. The problem is, I remember 1982, but I don't recall things being as bad or people being as apprehensive as they are today.
Without doubt, we are at one of the most critical points in our nation's history. How we deal with our current economic crisis will define our identity both now and in the future.
I think I have just figured out a way to get the 22 legislative tax evaders out of the General Assembly and onto the streets where they might have to find real work and quit swilling from the public trough.
OK, I'll come right out and admit it. I'm not a big fan of Shakespeare. I'm fine with a sonnet here or a snippet of "all the world's a stage" there, but to sit through two hours of grandiloquent oration? Thanks, but no thanks.
Over the past year or so, there has been one question about politics that I hear more often than any other: "Is Roy going to run?"
I can understand why various personal factors logically and for good reason lead people to oppose daylight saving time.
"Never let a serious crisis go to waste," said President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, after Obama won the election in November of last year.
Let me say unequivocally that Rep. Al Williams, D-Midway, and I are on the same page regarding the fact that the Georgia Department of Revenue says Williams and about 10 percent of his colleagues in the Georgia General Assembly are delinquent in paying their taxes.
There is less than a month to go before the legislative session adjourns and our lawmakers don't appear to be any closer than they were last year at this time to resolving the state's highway congestion issues.
House Speaker Glenn Richardson has just unveiled a new vision for Georgia that would surpass previous endeavors and might even make a little money.
Do you understand what transpired down at the Capitol when the Georgia legislature passed Senate Bill 31? If you do, let me know. I've been trying to come up with a clear picture of how it happened, but the whole thing is a can of worms.
It is easy to start a war by invading or dropping bombs, as the Japanese did on Pearl Harbor. Ending a war is more difficult. A country may choose to stop hostilities and retreat, but then the other side can claim victory. Perhaps the best way to end a war is to negotiate a peace treaty, but that can be difficult and have unintended results.
With apologies to Cool Hand Luke, what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Why?:Do women study Women Studies Mystery?
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I got a degree in women's studies, how come I can't pay my rent?"
The Why do women study Women Studies Mystery is the central issue that is treated in the faculty of Women Studies in the Netherlands. In a nutshell, it is the question why, in the faculty of Women Studies of universities in this country, most students are women themselves.
The students themselves cannot answer the question, which is a mystery in itself. Why this is a mystery is a second-class mystery to be dealt only by graduate students.
The faculty of Women Studies was even created because of these mysteries.
edit A 14-year-old girl weighs in
Recently, the opinion of Texas 14-year-old Tawny Stevens was sought on the mystery, and she had this to say: "There are two obvious reasons for this mystery: First, we don't know ourselves at all, and women should want to know themselves. As no one looks inside to observe, they resolve to study Women in the faculty." At that point, the interviewer collapsed into a seizure, unable to believe that life could get this bad. But the teen continued.
"Second, men and women are energetically opposite. Men tend to give away, to be generous, and women tend to keep to themselves and never let go. That's not selfishness, it's rather an energetical matter.
"Put two men in a room, and they will end up talking, drinking together, giving one another advice about girlfriends. Put two women together and they will keep hidden thoughts, they will compete, they will become jealous (both) if one has a boyfriend. So, because of those hidden thoughts, a woman is impossible to be studied by another woman, so they do it at school.
"Why they don't know why? Because the mystery itself is not solved by any, therefore not taught."
Thought patterns such as this are the main force behind a medical condition known as SEHS, a common and incredibly dehabilitating disease.
edit Captain Obvious
Women's studies are not the study of women, they are those studies suitable for women to be studying. As opposed to learning something true and useful, which is strictly men's stuff.

My colleague, Liz Bolshaw, recently wrote in this space about new research that examines entrepreneurship's gender gap. The study found that 29 per cent of privately held firms in the US are women-owned, but just 1.8 per cent of those firms had revenues above $1m. The study also found that women lodge less than half the number of patents of men.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
As previously mentioned, I'll be delivering my full-day "No More Guessing" performance troubleshooting seminar at both the Stockholm and Amsterdam SQLRally events. In addition to the seminar, I'll be doing two breakout sessions at each event.
It's going to be a busy week! But luckily for me, I'm doing the same things in each city:
Using Your Brain to Beat SQL Server
This session is a joint effort with one of the world's greatest SQL superheroes, Thomas Kejser. The session is all about query optimizer deficiencies and how to win the battle for excellent performance by applying your own intelligence instead of blindly trusting that SQL Server will do the right thing. I think this is going to be a really fun and useful session.
Data, Faster: SQL Server Performance Techniques with SQLCLR
Remember when SQLCLR was first put into SQL Server and everyone was wondering what they should use it for? I found my answer: raw performance. In this session I'll teach you a SQLCLR pattern that can help reduce the run time of your heaviest and most logic-filled queries, often by an order of magnitude or more.
Looking forward to seeing you in Europe next month!

I will be attending the sessions in Amsterdam
Great, see you there!
As you may have already learned from my old post or Adam's or Kalen's posts, there will be two SQL Rally
Saw you in Stockholm, and I liked it alot, lots of good bits of information to take home! Keep up the good work!
First and foremost : Huge thanks, and huge apologies, to everyone who attended my sessions at these events.

I have a problem with an online catalogue for a website I maintain. The catalogue has lots of options but is small and if the user reads it properly straight forward but users being what they are they do not read the options properly or possibly do not understand them.Currently the user picks out what they want and put all the parts into an order form which the site owner examins and if there are any problems he contacts the user. This works but the site owner wants to reduce the time he spends sorting out these problems.
To get an idea of my problem:
You can buy a full kitYou can specify two motors which means you pay extra for the second motor and drive.You can then have suspension which means you get a rebate for the fixed axel but then pay extra for the suspensionIt is a bit like a pyramid with the kit at the top and starts spreading out depending on the options specifiedYou can also buy as many of the parts you want and either source elsewhere or make them.
I suppose I could build loads of kits with all the different options or I could do lots of if statements ( I am building the site in php )
I think the way to go is with the prices in a database but can anyone suggest some ideas or have recomendations on which way to go with this.
Note: Sometimes if you have one option you also have to have another e.g. If you have two motors you also need two drive wheels and not one drive wheel and one freewheel.I suppose I may have to go the Ajax route?
I have just noticed there is another complication as you can buy kits like a front suspension kit which contain multiple parts and the options relate to this as well!
It might give more of an idea if I link a pdf price list
I'd reconsider your data structure.
Consider making a PARTS objects ( all objects will reflect a table in your DB). This would probably contain properties such as partIDpricedescriptionimageavailability maybe even compatibility
ALSO an abstract class for KITSwhich contains a list of PART OBJECTS
and a concrete class for KITS ( based on the abstract)which has function for pricing based on the sum of the parts, ect...
you can the have an ORDER object which builds and stores a list of PARTS and/or KITS INSTANCES and from that totals up the cost, calculates discounts, etc.
PART->KIT->ORDERAside from making your code cleaner this style of thinking will make it scalable as well.
hope that helps
Thanks @dresden_phoenix ;
I have not used classes and for what I normally do it is not required; so I do not really understand what you are saying I will see if I can find any more information on "abstract class" etc.
Thinking about the small kits there is no price difference to the sum of the parts in the kit; it just makes it simpler for the user to tick on one box instead of six boxes.
I quickly entered the prices, item, description/notes and whether the item has VAT into a database last night and will be able to try things out with the real data which sometimes helps decide on a method.
I have eight models to sort out prices for so something which will work on every model would be good and thinking about it some parts are used on two or more models.
So if I get you right the customer is building a custom product made of several components?
How about trying something like PC system builders use, eg http://pcspecialist.co.uk/pcs/ - you pick a start point, then go through various options choosing whichever you want?
Yes that is the basic method but the customer can buy anything from the whole kit to one or two parts.If they buy a whole kit they can also have the options which means getting a refund on the standard part and then paying for the option or it can be seen as paying a suppliment.
I think I need to sit down tonight and make myself a diagram of how it actually works and then maybe persuade the site owner to do it in a slightly different way.
I think this thread is premature and should be moved to the Database Forum. No doubt some database guru will be able to suggest a table schema which will help with your queries,
Initially I'm thinking of basically a table->model and table->unique-parts. The model query will generate unique-parts with name, description, price, quantity, etc each with a checkbox. Input button builds an invoice...
I was looking more for a method at the moment and was going to look into the database later. I suppose its a chicken and egg situation - do I start with the database or sort out the method to achieve what I want and do the database later.
both, at the same time
sorry if that's not too helpful
Done but this looks to straight forward and I am sure there will be problems!
The method I am looking at now is:
PartsPut all the parts in one table as some parts are common to the eight modelsid - Item - notes - price - VAT due - indicate if an option
ModelNeed a page for full kits and options with a seperate page for parts and options.Both pages will have kits displayed in seperate divisions as individual parts ( standard and options )
Full kit pageList of all standard parts checkedoptions unchecked
Kits page + purchase individual itemsThe user will need to select each part in the kit and options could be a different colour. List of parts uncheckedoptions unchecked
At the end of each page there will be an area for the users details
When the user presses submit the details are sent to a checking page where their details and any options are checked with if statments.The price will be adjusted depending if any uption selected again with if statments.If there is a problem an error is displayed and the user is instructed to go back and fix the error.Resubmit the page after mods and confirmation of order displayed the submit and invoice created and emails sent.
This means I will need:A table for the partsA table for each model linked to the parts in that model
A tool tip would be good so if the user puts their mouse over the option it could tell them what they need to remove for the option.
Note: I knew I had forgotten something and that is how to separate the kit items!
I have been having a test and think it may be better to have the parts list broken down with the parts for each kit ( e.g wheels ) in their own tables.This means more database queries but it makes the setup of the divs simpler.
A stumbling block - With the prices in one big table all I needed was one table for each model picking out the used item from the price table.
Model1 - item priceModel2 - item price
But with the parts table being split into about five smaller kit tables I will then need five more tables for each model to pick out the items from all of the kit tables!Model1_kit1 - kit1 item priceModel1_kit2 - kit2 item price
Model2_kit1 - kit1 item priceModel2_kit2 - kit2 item price
Right the database part is working now:Table containing the items with a column for the kitTable for each model listing the ID from the price tableDatabase call for each kit on each model page
Well I have something working but the site owner is not impressed :rolleyes:
He wants a build a model type site where you pick the model > pick the drive > pick the control etc. There could be 30 or more pages unless I do something in JavaScript?
I thought of using a dropdown list for the options but you can not style the option box very well and some of descriptions are so long they go off the page.
I can not find any ready made "Build " type code to use or modify - he is also not impressed with the zencart demo I set up.
This may require some lateral thinking.

The Swedish Government has publicly announced that it has already accepted Muslim women to wear the hijab (headscarf) and for people to perform prayers at public offices.
Some discussions were started after a Muslim female reporter's recruitment application for state media caused more rights for Muslim public employees. The Swedish Ministry of Justice has concluded on the religious duties as wearing of the hijab and performing prayers at public offices.
According to the Turkish Deutsche Welle, it was announced that wearing of the hijab and performing prayers at state offices are officially allowed at the State Railways, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Postal Administration as well as cantonal or federal offices of the Swedish State.
In his interview with Turkish Deutsche Welle, Marc Schinzel , Press Spokesman of the Ministry of Justice, emphasized the secular structure of the State and explained: "We do not interfere on the appearance of anybody."
The Swedish State Media Internet portal's presently being managed by women wearing a hijab is a good example that a working Muslim woman wearing a hijab can freely build a career at a state office.
Marc Schinzel, Press Spokesman of the Swedish Ministry of Justice, expressed that public employees should also be allowed to perform prayers. Rest areas at the offices are offered to the employees who would like to perform prayers.

A sexual position, usu. involving two or more males. Little is know about The Gaffney, other than that it is extremely difficult (often referred to as 'damn near impossible') to master or even perform. Although it takes its participants to heights of sexual pleasure never before experienced by mere mortals, it leaves them exhausted and ravaged to the point of near death. Ancient texts speak of those who take part in The Gaffney being left blind, mute, or even paralyzed. Aristotle, Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill were all known to have been practicioners of The Gaffney.
"And then bestowed upon him was knowledge of a value unmatched in the world of men, and he was warned to share the knowledge with only the worthy, the pure of heart and noble of spirit. And he was told that from that day forward all would revere the name of The Gaffney."

DETROIT - Azzam Elder resigned Thursday afternoon from his position as Wayne County deputy executive.
He sat down with Local 4 Friday to talk about his job duties and departure from a county that is under an FBI probe.
"The roughest sport in America is politics," Elder said.
He spent 16 years working in county government and the past five working for Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano. Ellder said he never imagined his job with Wayne County would end the way it did on Thursday.
"I'm like the quarterback. Mr. Ficano calls the plays and I try to implement and get him to the finish line," he said.
Elder said as Fcano's deputy he was simply doing what he was told.
"I didn't do anything inappropriate. That's the honest to God truth," he said.
Ficano suspended Elder for 30 days for his hand in former director of Wayne County' economic development Turkia Mullin's $200,000 severance package.
"When you look at who negotiated the terms for (Mullin) leaving, they did. It wasn't me," Elder said. "When you say, 'Who signed the letter?' Mr. Ficano signed the letter. When you ask, 'Who drafted the letter?' I didn't draft the letter. Now, was there a change to the letter? Yes. Was it at my direction? Was it my idea? No. Was the idea that it be undated my idea? Absolutely not."
Elder said he welcomed the FBI's investigation into the county's offices.
"When the FBI did come with subpoenas I truly felt a sigh of relief," he said. "The politicians have a whole different agenda."
He said he thinks the FBI is the best thing to happen to the politicians at Wayne County.
"In the end, if you want to come review everything, me personally, I am very confident that I have nothing to hide," Elder said.
Elder said he wanted to make it clear that he voluntarily suspended himself for 30 days before resigning.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Record turnout among youth voters in 2008 was one of several factors helping Barack Obama win the White House.
President Obama is expected to win the youth vote again, but Mitt Romney appears to be closing the gap among young voters.
The Florida State University College Republicans are on campus in full force this election season. The club's chairman says concerns about jobs after graduation have students leaning toward the Republican presidential candidate.
"That's why everyone is gravitating here," said Matt Hoopfer. "Most of these people are a year or two out from graduating, and they want a career when they leave here."
Students were singing a different tune in 2008, when 66 percent of voters younger than 30 voted for Obama. A new poll shows youth support for the president dropping to 52 percent, compared to 35 percent for Romney, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.
The drop in enthusiasm was apparent on FSU's campus Thursday. A steady stream of students visited the Republican booth, but one table over, a less ornate display for Obama went mostly unnoticed.
A mile down the road at Florida A&M University, students were more vocal.
"He needs a little bit more time to change the country," FAMU junior Kelly Jackson said of Obama. "You can't just tell somebody to clean up the mess within four years."
Romney's Florida Campaign chairman says the economy has killed enthusiasm for Democrats among college students.
"There's clearly not the campus movement, the student movement, and I think it's because they know that their employment opportunities have diminished in the last four years, not grown," said Adam Putnam.
Despite the shift, Obama is still expected to win the youth vote, but by a much smaller margin.
The poll from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement also says about 10 percent of youth voters still haven't settled on a presidential candidate.

CNN's Faulty Fact Check Dings Obama Over Accurate Job Creation Statement
Research ››› ››› DAVID SHERE
CNN's fact checker claimed President Obama was wrong when he accurately pointed out during the presidential debate that the economy has added 5 million private-sector jobs over the last 30 months.
Obama Noted That The Economy Added 5 Million Private-Sector Jobs Over Last 30 Months
Obama: "Over The Last 30 Months, We've Seen 5 Million Jobs In The Private Sector Created." During the first 2012 presidential debate, aired on October 3, President Obama pointed out that after "[m]illions of jobs were lost" during the "worst financial crisis since the Great Depression," the economy has rebounded, saying, "Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created":
You know, four years ago we went through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of jobs were lost, the auto industry was on the brink of collapse. The financial system had frozen up.
And because of the resilience and the determination of the American people, we've begun to fight our way back. Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created. The auto industry has come roaring back. And housing has begun to rise.
But we all know that we've still got a lot of work to do. And so the question here tonight is not where we've been, but where we're going. [ABC News, 10/4/12]
CNN's Fact Checker Labeled Obama's Statement "False"
CNN's Tom Foreman: Obama's Claim That "He's Created 5 Million Jobs" Is "False." After playing a video of Obama making his claim, which included specific references to private-sector jobs over the last two and a half years, Foreman said, "This is a fundamental claim. Barack Obama says he's created 5 million jobs." He promised to "look at the evidence and see what we can find." Foreman concluded that Obama's claim was "false." But his evaluation of this claim consisted of looking at the change in the level of employment over the course of the Obama administration -- not just the last 30 months. [CNN, Early Start, 10/4/12]
But Obama Was Right: Five Million Private-Sector Jobs Have Been Added Since February 2010
Bureau Of Labor Statistics: 5 Million Private-Sector Jobs Added Since February 2010. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey found that in February 2010, the U.S. economy employed 106,773,000 people. In August of 2012 the survey found 111,400,000 people employed -- an increase of approximately 4.6 million. A preliminary revision released by the BLS in September, which incorporated more accurate state-level data, found that there were an additional 453,000 people employed in the private sector. The revision combined with the results of the August survey show that the U.S. economy has added over 5 million private sector jobs in the last 30 months. [BLS, accessed 10/4/12 (CES), 10/4/12 (revision)]
Center On Budget And Policy Priorities: "Private Employers Added Over 4.6 Million Jobs To Their Payrolls In The Last 30 Months." In a report published the day the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its benchmark revision, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities noted that "the pace of monthly job losses slowed dramatically soon after President Obama and Congress enacted the Recovery Act in February 2009" and that "private employers added over 4.6 million jobs to their payrolls in the last 30 months."

The Revolution is 50
"My husband and I dated for a decade before we got married. It's an exciting step that seemed to happen organically for us, but I know a lot of friends who stress about timing and the proper construction of their futures. You need to have fun and be in the moment—thinking too far ahead can make you miss the good things happening in front of you. Be patient, and see where things lead."
"Valentine's Day doesn't always have to be about you and a partner. It's just as fun and meaningful when spent with friends and family and is a great occasion to make sure you're always showing yourself a little love—why not book a massage or take a spin class? Have fun with it!"

Written by Harsh Bhargava, President of I Create Inc
This year at the 5th National Business Plan Competition conducted by I Create (NFTE India) we witnessed a historical moment when Montu Shah took the stage. Montu Shah gave a stunning presentation of his business plan to manufacture individually designed and painted t-shirts. The truly remarkable part about this presentation was that he did it all in sign language. With the aid of an interpreter and his PowerPoint slideshow, Montu explains how the shirts would be individually designed and painted by the other hearing and speech challenged students in his school. His business would provide them with a way to earn some greatly needed pocket money, and he will be able to keep his unique business going.
Montu received a thundering applause from the audience, which had over 400 local students from Vadodara City in Western India, when completing his presentation. Then when the judges announced that he came in third place, the entire hall rose to their feet and raised both arms and waived their hands sideways vigorously (which is clapping in sign language). As Montu "heard" them, he couldn't help but become a little teary-eyed.
The person that took first place at this year's competition was Satyendra Meena, the creator of Utopia - Greenery Rental & Maintenance Agency. Satyendra is from a village near Jaipur and will be the first in the family to graduate from college. Winning this award, and his trip to New York, has electrified his whole village and thousands of kids with similar backgrounds. Congratulations Satyendra!
As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If you have a good cause, people pop up from the pavement to join you."
