Jacob Taylor is a human biotic and a former Alliance Marine under the command of Major Derek Izunami. He resigned after surviving the geth attack on Eden Prime. He is also part of Commander Shepard's squad during the suicide mission.
Jacob is a highly experienced fighter, and is skilled in the use of weapons and biotics. He works professionally alongside Miranda Lawson, who functions as his informant and later as his superior officer. Jacob is also a potential romance option for a female Shepard.
Mass Effect Galaxy
DossierArcturian Jade when the ship is attacked by batarian terrorists. After taking out the batarian attackers, and saving the crew and passengers, Jacob arrives at the Citadel and meets his former CO, Major Derek Izunami. Izunami tells Jacob there is a batarian plot to attack the Citadel, and that it originates in the lawless Nemean Abyss, where few humans ever go. However, Izunami knows an informant who can help Jacob, and sends him to Cartagena Station.
When Jacob arrives, he meets Miranda Lawson, who explains that batarian extremists plan to assassinate their own ambassador, Jath'Amon, currently working to heal relations between batarians and the Citadel. Miranda has several leads that might uncover this plot; a turian arms dealer, Illo Nazario on the planet Tortuga who has worked with the batarians for years; the planet Bekke where a batarian army is reportedly gathering; and a rumor that the batarians have kidnapped several scientists who are being held on the Ahn'Kedar Orbital Platform.
As Jacob investigates these leads, he discovers the kidnapped scientists—including an asari scientist named Batha—have been convinced to work on a cure for a batarian plague, a cure which requires large amounts of element zero. Jacob finds the batarians' eezo stockpile on Bekke, improperly shielded—causing Jacob to suffer sickness but also briefly gain increased biotic ability—and protected by an army of batarians. He also manages to find Illo Nazario, who has been infected with this batarian plague. Illo reveals the plague is a biological weapon that the batarian terrorists mean to unleash on the Citadel, and that Ambassador Jath'Amon is actually the terrorists' ringleader. The target is not Jath'Amon, but the Council.
Jacob races to the Citadel, only to find the batarians have already infiltrated C-Sec and are putting their plans into action. He manages to reach Jath'Amon during his audience with the Council; Jath'Amon tries to talk his way out of it, but when confronted he releases the plague and attacks Jacob. After fighting off Jath'Amon's forces, the batarian ambassador is taken into custody, and Batha begins work on a cure for those who were exposed. Jacob and Miranda return to their ship, and celebrate with a bottle of champagne.

Mass Effect: Foundation 5geth attack on the station, drowning his sorrows. When Miranda Lawson shows up and joins him, he airs the issues that have been bothering him: the Council and the Alliance had been whitewashing the recent geth attack, and even the Normandy's disappearance is being downplayed. Miranda reminds him of their past work together, to which he toasts, and finally states her purpose for seeking him out: She wants Jacob for a job.
Miranda isn't sure he's up for the job, and Jacob throws the comment back at her. She turns to leave, but not before claiming he could've made a difference. This makes Jacob reconsider Miranda's offer and follow her out, listening to her talking points and realizing she wants him to work for Cerberus. As Jacob has misgivings with the shady pro-human group, Miranda offers him the chance to see for himself how they operate. He also realizes he'd have to leave the Alliance if he commits, but then he hears about the job Miranda wants him for: bring back Commander Shepard.Terminus Systems, Jacob uses the opportunity learn more about Cerberus. He muses the organization must've been better-funded than he thought, and Miranda points to sponsors on Earth, which he immediately pegs as the xenophobes. Miranda counters that even the Alliance isn't free from prejudice, though Jacob observes that while Alliance people are accountable for their actions and not beliefs, Cerberus seems driven by beliefs and he isn't sure who the organization is accountable to. Miranda answers that they're accountable to humanity itself, that their success or failure hangs over the rest of the race. Jacob asks her how Cerberus knows how it fares, and Miranda replies he'll just have to decide that for himself.
As they near their destination, Miranda briefs Jacob on what she knows about Shepard's situation. She warns him not to strut in his Alliance uniform, providing him with weapons and a hardsuit from the ship's armory. Jacob voices his appreciation on seeing the stash of the latter.
A street urchin begs the partners for credits, and while Miranda turns the kid away Jacob tries coaxing information from the girl. He learns that their next destination is a slaver place, and upon learning of enslaved humans he turns to Miranda to call Cerberus out on why they aren't helping on issues like it. Their argument is cut short with the arrival of batarian thugs, and Jacob draws out his Phalanx in preparation.
The partners return to their ship to resupply and restrategize, but find it being booby-trapped by the batarians they've been dealing with. Jacob watches from a concealed position while Miranda takes the lead batarian hostage, but the batarian is unfazed with her antics. The ship explodes, sending Jacob flying. He recovers and calls for Miranda, but sees no signs of her anywhere; only her tattered green garment.
Mass Effect: Foundation 6salarian with facial tattoos warns him not to advertise the fact he has money as people might take advantage of his current condition. The salarian and his seedy-looking group deny seeing batarian thugs hauling a human woman, and the street urchin Jacob encountered earlier intervenes, warning them to back off using her uncle's reputation.
Slumping on a wall, Jacob thanks the girl for saving his life twice in the same day and asks if she's seen his partner. The girl remarks that Miranda isn't very nice, though Jacob tells her that despite Miranda's serious demeanor she can be nice too. The girl reveals she knows where Miranda is but she's concerned the batarian thugs will kill him, and Jacob mutters he doesn't really have much choice in the matter.
The girl's mother calls for her by name, Lakshmi, and demands to know who she's talking to. Lakshmi introduces Jacob as a friend, but the leery mother asks what he wants. Seeing that the man is bleeding, Lakshmi's mother helps Jacob up on his feet and brings him to the family hovel. Jacob thanks the woman but she replies she needs something more than money from him.
Abandoning his tattered armor and opting for a civilian look, Jacob lets Lakshmi guide him to the place where slaves are held when he deems himself healed enough. He praises the girl's unusual bravery for her age and learns she's almost ten years old. Outside the warehouse Lakshmi shows him where to peek in, a high open window, but she witnesses her uncle Taleed receiving orders to kill Miranda. Jacob cautions the girl to head back, and goes in alone with a rescue plan.
Jacob flings a flashbang inside the warehouse, disorienting its occupants for the critical seconds he needs. Jacob jumps in and scores at least three batarian headshots from his Shuriken despite the smoke. Jacob dodges an arm Taleed swings at him, and kneecaps the gangster in the counterattack. Miranda pulls out a knife and moves to kill Taleed, but Jacob prevents her from doing so. Standing over Taleed's knee, Jacob threatens him instead to let Miranda kill him if he doesn't say where the slaves are kept. Taleed complies, and Jacob pistol-whips him into unconsciousness before beckoning Miranda to follow.
Jacob is momentarily surprised at what he sees at a dismal section of the building, miserable-looking humans huddled in the darkness. He assures them he's there to rescue them, pointing them to the exit. Their flight is stopped by the sight of the batarian Torthak holding Lakshmi hostage. As Miranda distracts the slaver Jacob moves to put a bullet through Torthak's chest.
Miranda asks back if he's glad he came along, and Jacob appreciates the opportunity even if he deems their original mission as screwed. Jacob learns that Miranda confirmed Shepard's body is already off-planet, and Miranda declares they're going to get the Commander back. Jacob, still on the fence about joining Cerberus, extends feelers about being interested, but Miranda cautions him she's not taking him unless he's absolutely sure. Jacob still has questions, but since their transport exploded he has until their extraction to choose whether to commit. In the meantime, Miranda prompts him to ask away.
Mass Effect 2
Weapon proficiencies
Unlike Shepard's other squadmates, save for Miranda Lawson, Jacob Taylor has 31 points available for distribution.
Jacob was born in 2157 and eventually joined the Alliance military. Originally Jacob was part of an Alliance-sponsored group called the Corsairs, a program that contracted independent starship captains to handle missions that fell outside of official Alliance jurisdiction, giving the Alliance plausible deniability. Jacob eventually left the Corsairs and was assigned to Eden Prime, and was present for the geth attack that nearly destroyed the colony. After Eden Prime, and later the geth attack on the Citadel, Jacob became disillusioned with the ineffectual bureaucracy of the politicians and quit the Alliance after five years of service. Later that year, after his collaboration with Miranda Lawson to protect the council against a terrorist threat, Jacob enlisted with Cerberus for a chance to serve humanity without too much to hold him back, although he remains cautious of some of the organization's more ruthless measures.Normandy, Miranda hires Jacob as her 'lieutenant' in the Lazarus Cell, whose titular Lazarus Project is tasked with resurrecting Commander Shepard. Over the next two years, while work on Shepard continues, Jacob is technically in charge of security on the Lazarus Research Station. At this time it is implied he and Miranda had some form of relationship, although it didn't work out; Jacob claims he wasn't the right person for Miranda, though they remain effective colleagues.
In 2185, when the Lazarus Project neared completion, project scientist Wilson betrays the organization and hacks the security mechs to attack the station's staff. During the firefight Shepard is awoken earlier than scheduled, and meets Jacob fighting a group of LOKI mechs. Jacob joins Shepard, and together they manage to escape. Of the original members of the first Lazarus Cell, Jacob and Miranda were the only survivors. On the Illusive Man's orders, Jacob accompanies Shepard on a mission to Freedom's Progress, which has recently gone silent. With Miranda's help, they discover the Collectors are behind the mass abductions.
After this mission's completion, Jacob becomes a member of the second Lazarus Cell aboard the Normandy SR-2 where he serves as the Armory Officer, charged with maintaining and stockpiling the team's weapons. During missions he is a calm and collected voice of reason, often siding with Shepard's decisions and trying to defuse conflicts. He later reveals a distrust of mercenaries and believes that assassins are just "precise mercenaries", leading him to recommend caution when dealing with Thane Krios, though no arguments ever develop between them.
- See also: Jacob: The Gift of Greatness
When Shepard talks to Jacob after Horizon, he tells Shepard he has received a disturbing message through Cerberus channels. His father, Ronald Taylor, went missing ten years ago along with the starship he was serving on, the Hugo Gernsback. But now a distress signal from the Hugo Gernssback has been detected from a planet in the Alpha Draconis system. Jacob is, not surprisingly, eager to investigate and discover if his father is still alive.
Jacob is a possible romantic partner for the female Commander Shepard. Unlike Kaidan, Jacob does not show any interest in Shepard. When she brings up the idea of them getting more intimate, he admits that he did not consider her an "option", presumably because he did not know her well enough, thought she was out of his league, or was discouraged by the fact that she is his commanding officer. Shepard replies to that by stating she's interested and "that should be enough to get things going".
In between missions he will have brief conversations, eventually leading to him mentioning his father. Regardless of the outcome after completing Jacob's loyalty mission, he will be more personal with Shepard; now his father's fate is behind him, he can focus on more important things, namely their mission and Shepard. If Shepard asks how he's handling the fate of his father, he'll admit that he's fine and that it's not a concern anymore. He switches the conversation so that he asks Shepard what she's letting eat away at her, to which she has various responses. Shepard can admit she's lonely – her entire team broke apart and changed, but her mind is the same as it was two years ago. Jacob comments that he feels sorry for them and they probably only changed because they lost her. Shepard can also admit feelings of guilt at the losses she could not prevent. Jacob praises her for her compassion and says without it, she will become like the Illusive Man – someone who never feels guilt anymore. He takes her hands in his and she gives him a kiss on the cheek.
When approaching the Omega 4 Relay, Jacob will go to Shepard. He comments that there is a heavy risk sneaking into the Commander's quarters, but the prize is well worth it. Depending on Shepard's initial response, Jacob may or may not admit that he loves her. Shepard's first Renegade response will get Jacob to confess his love for her.
If both Shepard and Jacob survive the mission, Shepard can approach Jacob and ask how he's doing. Jacob will take her into his arms and kiss her, saying that there are no words, but he's looking forward to spending some time with her. Shepard can reply likewise or she can call off the entire relationship.
Lair of the Shadow Broker
After completing Lair of the Shadow Broker, Shepard may invite Liara aboard the Normandy to catch up. If the right dialogue options are chosen, she will ask Shepard what she's fighting for, and if it's a chance for drinks and dancing with Jacob. The Commander will respond that Jacob is a good man. Liara remarks that Jacob's solid and stable, and that Shepard may need that more than she thinks in the time to come. Liara then wishes them both happiness.
Mass Effect 3
Back in 2185, he met Dr. Brynn Cole, a Cerberus scientist, through a mutual friend in Cerberus' Mumbai cell. He found a lot in common between them, and a year later Dr. Cole approaches him again requesting his help and protection for a group of scientists who had also become disaffected with Cerberus. Jacob lends his assistance, and a relationship blossoms between them along the way. They sought refuge at a secret location on Gellix, but unfortunately Cerberus finds their hiding place and attacks it. If Shepard chooses to assist them, Shepard finds Jacob wounded trying to hold off the Cerberus assault.
Shepard carries Jacob into the base and learns about his relationship with Brynn. If a female Shepard had previously romanced Jacob, she confronts Jacob about it but he defends himself by asking whether Shepard "wanted him to wait forever", referring to the time she allowed herself to be placed under arrest for an indefinite period of time by the Alliance. After speaking with Cole, it is revealed that Jacob is still in love with Shepard, but nothing ever comes out of it.
Since the refugees' defense capabilities were disabled in the attack, Jacob volunteers to fix them. Shepard takes up the job instead, citing Jacob's injury, so Jacob offers to guide the Commander through radio. The job accomplished, with everyone else evacuated and having regained some of his strength, Jacob pulls Shepard out of Cerberus' line of fire much later when their troops have begun overrunning the now-empty base.
He declines Shepard's invitation to return to the Normandy, preferring to remain with the scientists. Jacob ships out with the ex-Cerberus scientists aiding with the Crucible project, lending his support in whatever way he can. His job includes guarding the scientists' families, finding them places to bunk, and giving intel on Cerberus activities as well as participating in missions against them.Broker Terminal also contains intercepted correspondence between the two, revealing more about their lives and relationship.
If Jacob is contacted before the final battle for Earth, he suggests a celebration in a little bar in Rio once they win.
If Shepard chooses to merge organic and synthetic life, Jacob is seen with Brynn. If the Reapers are destroyed or controlled, he will be seen speaking to Alliance personnel.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel

DossierArmax Arsenal Arena once the clone incident has been dealt with. He may also send an email during the Commander's downtime, asking to meet outside the Castle Arcade in Silversun Strip. If Shepard obliges, Jacob greets the Commander at the entrance when a couple of kids ask him for more credits. Shepard asks who they are, and Jacob reveals he volunteered to take them on for the weekend as their parents were MIA. With R&R on their heads they enter the arcade looking for a "game of skill" to play, and soon enough Jacob settles for Shattered Eezo.
Jacob declares that he has to take Shepard down on the game because the kids he's with look up to him. Shepard can either win the game or let Jacob win, trading trash talk all the while. In case of the latter, Jacob suspects his former Commander actually let him win, and in case of the former, Shepard rubs the victory in his face. Either way, they set off to grab some food afterward, with Jacob buying.
If Shepard had been in a relationship with Jacob and is still smoldering over its loss, the meeting on Castle Arcade instead turns into a discussion about the relationship. As is the case with their similar conversation on Gellix, Shepard can choose to be diplomatic or confrontational. Jacob honestly thinks he amicably parted ways with her, who may or may not slap him to make a point. If Shepard does so, Jacob realizes he probably deserves that. If Shepard had romanced someone before Jacob and confronts him on leaving her, Jacob snidely reminds her of that prior relationship before appealing for understanding; otherwise, Jacob is apologetic and concedes that he's perhaps more like his father than he thought.
Shepard can invite Jacob over to the big party. At the first phase of the party, Jacob hangs out with EDI and Joker at the bar, indignant at Joker's portrayal of Cerberus as "incompetent" during his time with the organization. Joker inquires if he has proposed to Brynn yet, and Jacob replies he hasn't since he wanted the occasion done right. His plan involves having Shepard sneak him and Brynn into the Council chambers, they do a picnic under the cherry blossoms, and the question gets popped at the right moment. Turning to EDI, Jacob asks her if she ever gets hassled for being an AI, and EDI mimics one of Avina's standard replies in return. Jacob is amused, noting he asked the bot for directions to the apartment. If Shepard speaks to him, Jacob just says he's grateful for being invited, is approving of the new crew Shepard assembled, and promises to have fun.
At the second phase of the party, in an energetic setting Jacob hangs out with Liara and James on the balcony, listening to the two bicker about which is superior to the other: biotics or physical conditioning.SSV Normandy and the SR-2. If Tali is around, she's doing audiovisual charades of the two ships' various systems, and Jacob even comments she nailed her impression of the SR-2's ventilation systems accurately.
At the third phase of the party, if the mood was set to dancing, Jacob is either winning a push-up contest against Vega in the balcony or simply content in watching Liara demonstrate biotic supremacy - depending on which side Shepard took during the second phase. In either case, everyone breaks into dance after Shepard checks in on them.
When the group photo call goes out to all the guests, Jacob positions himself at the very center, left of Cortez.
The morning after the party, he's doing sit-ups by the exercise room, going at around a thousand and eighty-somethings by the time Shepard checks in.
- Mass Effect Galaxy was originally titled "Jacob's Story".
- Jacob is notable in that he is the only character other than Joker to reference the Illusive Man's artificial eyes, asking, "Is there anything human in them?"
- Jacob's abilities in Mass Effect 2 are vastly different from Mass Effect Galaxy. In Mass Effect Galaxy, Jacob could use an assault rifle, use tech overloads, and use heavy weapons.
- Jacob's dialogue with Commander Shepard implies that he and Miranda may have been romantically involved between the events of Mass Effect Galaxy and Mass Effect 2.
- As with all squad members, Jacob has unique dialogue that can be heard at various locations, during missions or assignments, or if a specific squad member is in the selected team.
- The Shadow Broker has files as well as surveillance on Jacob Taylor which can be accessed aboard his ship.

Brad Snyder elected U.S. flag bearer for Closing Ceremony
LONDON – U.S. Paralympic swimmer Brad Snyder was selected today to serve as the United States' flag bearer for the Sept. 9 Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the United States Olympic Committee announced. Snyder was chosen by a vote of fellow members of the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team.
"This Games experience is the result of all of my support from my family, friends, coaches and countless others. The medals don't mean anything to me, but they are a thank you to my support network and my team," Snyder said. "To be able to carry the flag for my team, my country, that is what means a lot to me."
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Snyder, a three-time medalist at the Games, was serving in Afghanistan in September 2011 when he stepped on improvised explosive device (IED). The blast, which occurred on Sept. 7, 2011, blinded Snyder. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Snyder returned to the pool following his injury and celebrated the one year anniversary of the blast by winning the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle (S11). It was his second gold of the Games.
The toughest part of rehab was being taken out of the fight, not being able to serve anymore, not the way that I used to," he said. "To be able to come out here and to keep in the fight and keep going and keep inspiring, and keep perpetuating some goodwill for our country means a lot. And to be able to carry that flag for my team (tomorrow)… that's probably the best thing to come away from this experience."
A month after he competed at the 2012 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte, a competition for wounded, ill and injured service members held in May in Colorado Springs, Colo., he made his first U.S. Paralympic Team in June. One of 20 U.S. military veterans and service members of the 2012 roster, Snyder has won two golds and one silver in London, inspiring fans around the world with his spirit.
"Congratulations to Brad Snyder on being named the United States flag bearer for the Closing Ceremony," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "As the Games come to a close in London, where the Paralympic Movement began in 1948 with wounded World War II veterans, it is especially fitting to have one of our nation's finest service members carry the Stars and Stripes into this celebration of humanity. Last September, Brad lost his sight in an IED explosion while serving our country in Afghanistan. Now he represents our country as one of the world's greatest swimmers. His service on the battle field has been extraordinary and I am excited he now wears the colors of our nation on the field of play."

Reliever Rosin has unique opener experience
ARLINGTON -- Pitcher Seth Rosin might have made Major League history on Monday. He was on a team's Opening Day roster for the second time this season. Rosin was with the Dodgers on their Opening Day in Australia on March 22 before being claimed off waivers by the Rangers last Wednesday.
"My buddies were asking me if that's ever happened before," Rosin said.
Though there is no official word, it's highly doubtful. But the second Opening Day was better for Rosin. He didn't pitch in Australia, but pitched a scoreless inning for the Rangers on Monday in his Major League debut.
"It has been a complete zoo, being in different hotels, uniforms, different stuff," Rosin said. "I'm glad to get this opportunity and run with it."
Rosin's debut came against the Phillies. He was with the Phillies last season before being drafted by the Mets in the Rule 5 Draft last winter and then traded to the Dodgers before being claimed by the Rangers. He has to stay on Texas' big league roster or be offered back to the Phillies for $25,000. The Rangers are going to try to carry him as long as they can, but it's hard with a Rule 5 player if a team is trying to contend with the best team possible. Rosin will have to handle at least a long role out of the bullpen.
"I know if I go through a rough patch, it won't be too hard to cut me loose and send me back," Rosin said. "I have to compete every day, be physically and mentally ready every day to have good results. I just have to think a day at a time and not worry about the next day or a week ahead about what might happen."

Stopped in at Brother Wu last week alone around 11:30am for lunch as I was in the area. There was no one in the restaurant I wasn't even greeted with a smile or politely by the grumpy man at the door. I sat down and asked for a pot of green tea and a bottled water. This man was in such a foul mood the entire time I was in disbelief.
Anyway he shows up with a warm bottle of water and asks if it is ok I said no thank you I'll just have the tea. I ordered the lunch special. The spring roll was good. The wonton soup was good but served lukewarm which was disappointing. The beef and broccoli was good, the chicken fried rice was good as well as the spicy chicken and vegetables. I would return.
My only complaint was the grumpy man who obviously isn't very friendly or good at customer service and the lukewarm soup. Everything else tasted good.
2011 Mar 25
Contrary to my experience from a few weeks ago, we ordered from Brother Wu's last night and were gravely dissapointed!
We ordered:
- hot and sour soup (the best of the order by far)
- fried potstickers (fine but nothing special)
- vegetable chow mein (absolutely absymal! The dish comprised of only bean sprouts and some fried crunchy bits. Wtf?!?! It was absolutely tasteless and at $7.50, utter robbery!)
- shrimp in black bean sauce (utter disappointment. Shrimps were way overcooked and came with green and red peppers and way-too-many onions. At $13, another case of robbery)
- Buddha's delight vegetables (fine, at least they weren't overcooked)
All in all, pretty depressing and a total waste of tastebuds and money. The total was $53 - completely unjustifiable.
2011 Mar 4
I think Brother Wu has existed for some time now -- likely longer than the decades when my family and I first immigrated from China.
I hadn't eaten there in a long time but always recalled the food being good.
So I had take-out last night and it was very satisfying. While I opted to get some typical Western-style Chinese, it totally hit the spot.
- chicken fried rice (note: BW's price is $6 cheaper than the nearby Mandarin Ogilvie)
- garlic spare ribs
- shrimp and scallops with veggies
My ONLY criticism would be that the scallops were chopped up and not cooked whole but perhaps they wanted the dish to cook evenly.
All three dishes were flavourful and not oily, like some Chinese restos tend to do.
Yum yum yum all the way.
2008 Aug 29
Our foodie friend recommended us to have lunch here after our 2-hour hiking at Gatineau Park. She told us that this place has been renovated and the inside looks clean and comfortable (not like before) and the food they tried was good.
So, we set our foot here to try their food again after many years. The owner was there (you can bump into him every weekend at Kowloon Market).
The service was pretty good. Our tea pot was re-filled with hot water very frequently. We were pleased with our meal.
The menu price was very reasonable. It cost us $11 each person for lunch. Good price! We will be back to try their Peking duck.
P.S. The photo shown was the complimentary appetizer (pickled vegetables). Very tasty.
2008 Apr 20
I stopped here for dinner for the first time Saturday night.
We were given a regular menu plus a one-page menu of combos to choose from. The options listed looked pretty good, so we didn't even look at the larger menu.
For $14.95 you get one spring roll and a wonton soup to start, followed by the chosen combo.
My choice was shredded pork in spicy sauce, chicken with cashews and chicken-fried rice.
The spring rolls were piping hot and very tasty. They were served with a sweet plum sauce (I would have preferred a sweet chili sauce).
The wonton soup came in a small portion but still had several slices of pork and about 4 perfect wontons in it.
The shredded pork in spicy sauce had a nice bite to it, just spicy enough. The chicken and cashews was really tasty also, and both dishes had the perfect amount of sauce so that they weren't swimmng in gloopy liquid. Even the chicken fried rice was good, and everything on the plate was piping hot (I think I burned my mouth twice!). Sis had beef with broccoli, and garlic ribs with chicken-fried rice on her plate.
It was surprising that everything was so good since the dining room was almost full, and the delivery guy was kept hopping shuttling takeouts the whole time. There seemed to be some chaos in the kitchen, we saw a couple of orders come out that were dropped at the wrong table or the server didn't seem to know quite where it was supposed to go. Portions were generous...I had half of my plate boxed to go (made a great breakfast Sunday morning) and every table seemed to have a brown paper bag of leftovers to bring home.
For straight-up Chinese food this seems like a good place to go. The only thing negative that I could say is that it took a while to get our bill, but as my sister commented "If the food is this good when everything is going wrong, it must be good all the time."
Peking Duck
2009 May 14
I finally tried their Peking Duck. To my knowledge, making Peking Duck (or any BBQ duck/pork/geese) requires a proper stove and many Chinese restaurants do not have those stoves in their kitchens. I remember I heard about the staff at the BBQ counter at Kowloon Market
Kowloon Market
talked about the BBQ order from Yangtze
. So, I believe that if you order BBQ pork/duck from most of the Chinese restaurants, they must be either from Kowloon Market or Double Happiness.
Anyway, Brother Wu doesn't have the stove to make Peking Duck either. However, the chef made their Peking Duck in-house. Their version is to make the duck skin crispy by deep-frying (I have tried this type of Peking Duck in a Chinese restaurant in Toronto). The taste wasn't bad at all. The skin was very cripsy.
If you want to order Peking Duck from Brother Wu, make sure you call them one day in advance and tell them you are going to order Peking Duck. (Also, if you want to order Lobster, make sure to call them one day in advance.)
Bread Rolls

(i.e., deep fried roll). We ordered two plates of golden bread rolls and we dipped the bread in the sauce from the dishes. Yum! Try it!
P.S. Their menu has gold and silver bread roll. Gold refers to deep-fry and silver refers to steamed bread roll. We like it deep-fried! When you go to a Chinese restaurant that is specialized in dumplings, xiao long bao or Shanghainese noodles, don't forget to order their gold bread rolls.
Vegetable Dish
2009 May 14
This was the Bok Choy stir-fried with Beef slices. Good portion of beef slices!
2009 May 14
Brother Wu's
Stuffed Bean Curd with eggplant
was excellent although one friend said that the bean curd was not elastic (or gelatin-like) enough. (My friend is a good cook at home and she has high demand of Chinese food. I told her not to demand too much in Ottawa.)
Next time I will order this dish again.
2009 May 14
The photo shown is
Brother Wu's Special Shrimp with Hot & Sour Sauce
($12.95). The size of the shrimps was big (enlarged with the batter). Give it a try when you are here for dinner next time.
General Tso's Chicken
2009 May 14
Brother Wu's version of General Tsao Chicken is quite different than those in most of the Chinese restaurants in Ottawa. I can taste the chicken meat and it is not battered. (Note: The ones on the left are two battered shrimps that we put to the plate to save some space for our table.)
Green Onion Bread
2008 Aug 29
Their version of
green onion pancake
was ok. To do it right, the pancake is supposed to be
. Green onions are spread between each layer with sesame seeds. The chef has skipped this step.
Every time I eat green onion pancake, I remember the one I ate at my sister's house in Toronto. My dad (a Shanghainese) taught my brother-in-law to make the real green onion pancake from scratch (i.e., from making the dough to rolling the dough to pan fry). My brother-in-law made the green onion pancake for every one as a snack (we were doing Karaoke). On the first bite, my big brother almost wanted to hug my brother-in-law for making such a good green onion pancake. My big brother said "I haven't eaten such a good green onion pancake for the last 20 years. It tasted so delicious."
Pan-fried mashed red bean cake
2008 Aug 29
This was the dessert we ordered (豆沙窩餅). My friend ordered this dessert last time and she said the cake was very good and the pastry outside was crispy. The one we got wasn't crispy outside. However, taste was still ok.
Chinese and Japanese like to use red beans to make a variety of desserts. There are red bean icecream, red bean mochi, red bean sweet soup, and different kinds of red bean cakes. Somehow I found my Canadian friends do not like red beans too much. Don't understand it. I like RED BEANS.
Singapore Style Rice Noodle
2008 Aug 29
Singapore style noodles (炒貴刁) is a stir fry of rice noodles in a spicy curry sauce. It usually comprises small slices of chicken, and/or shrimps.
We voted this the second best among all the dishes we ordered. We will order this dish again.
Shanghainese Fried Noodle
2009 May 14
This noodle is thinner than the normal Shanghainese noodles. The chef made the noodles a bit spicy and we all liked it. This fried noodle was gone in a second from our table.
Highly recommended dish.
2008 Aug 29
Shanghainese version of fried thick noodles. Taste was not bad and portion was generous.
Zha Jiang Mian
2008 Aug 29
Zha Jiang mian (炸醬麵) is also called Ja Jiang mian where mian means noodles in Chinese. This is the Northern Chinese version of
Italian spaghetti
, but mixed with minced pork, sweet noodle sauce, hoisin sauce, hot bean paste, soy sauce, sesame oil together in a bowl. When the noodles are brought to your table, the ingredients are placed on top of the noodles and you have to mix the ingredients well yourself. I took the photo after the noodles were well mixed by my friend. (Note that there is a Korean version of this as well and is called
Among all the dishes we ordered, this is the BEST one. I recommend this noodle dish to you and we will order this dish again next time we are here for lunch/dinner. One of our friends also ordered this dish separtely as takeout for her son.
2008 Aug 29
Their pan-fried pork dumplings are alright in taste. Each one is big with generous amount of pork meat. But since we are good at making dumplings ourselves and our standard is quite high for this dish, their pork dumplings failed our taste and we will not order this again next time. (It is hard to compete with homemade potstickers.)
I taught my friend how to make pork dumplings and now she becomes an expert herself. Her son likes her dumplings so much that she makes about 200 potstickers each time she goes to see her son (of course she freezes the dumplings individually).
Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Soup Dumplings
2008 Aug 29
Among all the dishes we ordered, their
Xiao Long Bao
was the worst. Not to talk about the shape and the look, there wasn't any juice coming out on the first bite. My friend said that their xiao long bao tasted like frozen. My friend suspected that they may have pre-made the soup dumplings and steamed them on order. (Forgot to take the photo of this one.)
2009 May 15
Tender and delicious
stir-fried with peppers. Have you tried this type of dish before? My hubby didn't know we ordered this dish since the squid pieces disappeared from the plate very soon.

The start of the MLS season is right around the corner, and for a handful of clubs across the country, last weekend provided a chance for MLS academies to head into action.
There were some strong performances from some academy sides as the hunt for a spot in the Development Academy playoffs later this summer heats up. The San Jose Earthquakes posted a 3-1 mark at home, as the U-16s defeated Irvine Strikers 5-1 before squeaking past Pateadores 1-0. The U-18s couldn't quite replicate that success, defeating the Strikers 2-1 before losing 2-0 to Pateadores.
D.C. United sent their academy up north, playing a quartet of games against tough opposition. Saturday's action brought a sweep of South Central Premier, with the U-16s winning 3-1 and U-18s picking up a 1-0 win.
Sunday wasn't as positive, but didn't bring defeat, with the U-18s drawing 1-1 with Oakwood Soccer Club and the U-16s match ending 2-2.
For the New York Red Bulls Academy, a matchup against Baltimore Bays Chelsea caused trouble, as the Red Bulls left Baltimore without a win. The U-18s battled to a scoreless match, and the U-16s lost a high scoring 3-2 result.
Two other academies produced mixed results. New England's U-16s lost to PA Classics, 2-0, though the U-18s claimed redemption with a 4-3 win. Sunday's action failed to produce a win, as the U-18s lost 3-2 to FC Delco and the U-16s tied 1-1.
Columbus Crew Academy traveled north to Michigan, and like New England opened up slow. The U-18s fell at Derby County Wolves 2-0, while the U-16s tied 2-2. Vardar, another top Michigan Dev. Academy club, proved to be another mixed back as the U-16s won 2-0 and the U-18s lost 1-0.
Here are some of the other results from the weekend:
FC Delco 1, FC Greater Boston 0
NJSA 04 3, Seacoast United 0
Pateadores 2, Cal Odyssey
Empire United 4, Match Fit Chelsea 1
Met Oval 1, Cosmos Academy 0
Vardar 1, Internationals 1

The ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Japan threatens not only the local population and environment, and perhaps places farther away, but also threatens conventional plans to mitigate carbon emissions in response to global warming. Despite safety and cost concerns, the emissions-free baseload electricity provided by nuclear power is an essential component of any credible plan to shift the world economy away from fossil fuels. In recent years there has been talk of a "nuclear renaissance" driven by improved reactor designs, generous loan guarantees, streamlined licensing and regulatory procedures, growing recognition of the climate benefits of nuclear energy, and the absence of serious nuclear incidents since Chernobyl in 1986. This renewed push for nuclear power may be stopped or even reversed by the damage and possible meltdown at Fukushima Dai-ichi.
In the US, safety concerns now dominate the nuclear debate, and many government and corporate leaders have begun to reconsider new and proposed investments in the nuclear industry. Chinese authorities have announced plans to review construction of 77 new nuclear reactors. Germany, the country perhaps least friendly toward nuclear power, is set to backtrack on a 2010 decision to extend the lives of seven aging reactors. France, which is among the strongest proponents of nuclear power, is unique in viewing the crisis in Japan as a potential commercial opportunity for its domestic nuclear firms.
Movement away from nuclear power cannot be offset by increases in other forms of zero-emissions generation—renewables such as wind and solar are characterized by technical and performance constraints, available hydropower resources are dwindling, and energy efficiency faces inherent limitations in its capacity to squeeze out additional savings. Greater reliance on natural gas is an improvement over coal, but still results in significant carbon emissions. The remaining strategy to fight climate change is geoengineering, making it the only tool available to take up the slack left by a fading nuclear industry in any concerted effort to stabilize the climate. Geoengineering, in particular CDR, is therefore likely to play an even larger role in future climate policy following the hydra-headed disaster in Japan.

Homophobic hate crimes reported to police have more than doubled in the past five years – but just 8% now result in prosecutions, new figures suggest.
Reports of homophobic abuse recorded by UK police forces soared from 5,807 in 2014/15 to 13,530 in 2018/19, according to the data.
But the number of prosecutions dropped from 1,157 to 1,058 over the same period – from 20% of all reports to 8%.
The figures were obtained by BBC Radio 5 Live Investigations under Freedom of Information laws.
Full responses to the request were received from 38 of the UK's 46 forces, with partial data from Police Scotland not included in the analysis.
Lee Broadstock, the secretary of the national LGBT police network, said people now feel more confident to report hate crimes, but lower level incidents are difficult to prosecute.
"We have seen an increase in confidence in victims to report it to us and I think that's where that increase has come from," he told BBC Breakfast.
"We have improved confidence of people to report but they are reporting some of the lower-level incidents, some of the shouting in the streets, a lot of the online hate is being reported to us.
"Some things are proving a lot more difficult for us to take forward, especially with online hate, such as (on) Twitter…
"It's very difficult to get that user account from Twitter because it's based in the US so it's very difficult for us to prosecute."
The figures show reports to West Yorkshire Police and South Yorkshire Police have increased more than five-fold in the past five years, from 172 to 961 and 73 to 375 respectively.
But the proportion that resulted in a charge or summons fell from 19% to 4% in West Yorkshire and from 10% to 3% in South Yorkshire over the period.
The Metropolitan Police, Britain's largest force, saw reports rise from 1,561 in 2014/15 to 2,315 in 2018/19, as the number of cases leading to a charge or summons fell from 246 to 165 over the five years.
Reports to Greater Manchester Police increased from 423 to 1,159 as the number resulting in prosecutions fell from 82 to 50.
A National Police Chiefs' Council spokesman said: "For many years, we have been working to encourage those who have been victims of hate crime to come forward and tell police about their experiences. While we are concerned by the overall rise in hate crimes, of any nature, we view these figures as a successful reflection of our efforts in an area of under-reported crime.
"Police will investigate crime reports and will pursue action against those responsible where there is evidence to do so. Unfortunately, with many cases, there are often no witnesses to these crimes and scarce evidence – this may lead to police being unable to identify a suspect.
"The police service has no tolerance for this type of abuse but we need to be made aware that crimes are taking place so that we can investigate or, better still, prevent them from happening."

Portland PD Purchases Spillman, Citing Company's Stability and Service
PORTLAND, Texas – Jan. 31, 2013 – The Portland Police Department has chosen Spillman Technologies as its new public safety software provider. The southern Texas agency said Spillman's 30-year history, employee integrity, and industry-leading customer service set it apart from competitors.
The department selected Spillman after searching for a stable, responsible software provider that treats customers with integrity, said Terrell Elliott, manager of information technology for the Portland Police Department.
"We were looking at response times with [customer support] tickets, the company itself, the people who run the company, how the employees act, how easy the company is to work with, and the company's ethics," Elliot said. "For us, it is more about stability, long-term liability."
After asking neighboring law enforcement agencies for references, the Portland Police Department eliminated any vendors not endorsed by the Law Enforcement Information Technology Standards Council (LEITSC). Elliot then began conducting multiple agency visits to see the remaining software systems in action. Elliott said the final decision came down to a handful of determining factors: stability, service, and customer support.
The Portland Police Department purchased Spillman in November 2011 and went live with the system in July 2012. By choosing a company with long-term stability and a reputation for customer support, Elliot said, the Portland police could avoid having to worry about the software going down during critical times, failing to work properly, and not being supported by the vendor – problems they had experienced with previous software systems.
"On a review of the more prominent public safety provider programs, we determined Spillman met our needs and had an ethical company behind the product," Elliot said.
The Portland Police Department is using Spillman's Mobile modules including Mobile AVL Mapping, Mobile Records, Mobile State and National Queries, Spillman Touch, and Mobile Premises and HazMat. The agency has also purchased Spillman's Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), Law Records Management, Evidence Management, Imaging, StateLink, and Traffic Information modules.

IMO it's going to be a movie that will receive many positive reviews, I can make this prediction because of 2 simple reasons, Tim Burton is Directing it, and Jim Carrey will be in it.
Also Biography's usually do well, and Tim Burton knows how to do them well. This movie will look good visually, and this might be the Movie that gets Jim Carrey the Oscar, or at least nominated. But we know all about the Oscars so don't keep your hopes up.

Kanji on Technique Formula
Can someone translate the kanji on the technique formula on this pic? I could only make out the first kanji 忍 (nin, endure) and last 絶 (zetsu, absolute). Can't tell the second one if it's awakening (kaku, as in kakusei), and the third seems to have something to do with talisman. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 19:37, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Check this out. Skitts (talk) 19:40, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. But I checked a little more, and I think I have the basic boiled down to this: the second kanji is kaku 覚, third is fu 符, and the last is zetsu 絶. Nikaku Fuzetsu (忍覚符絶, Literally meaning: Endurance Awakening Talisman Absolute)? I already left this translation at ShounenSuki's page, but still, here would be a possible for everyone to determine its validity. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 19:49, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Because Kanji is japanese using chinese symbols for literally the exact same words, I used google translate to get the symbols. The 2nd kanji isn't 覚 meaning awakening. What I got was 忍交符绝, which if you take those and put them into google translate and translate either detect language or chinese into english you get Endure Cross Symbol Absolutely. Now I'm not saying that's EXACTLY what it is, because I don't know how to read Japanese or Chinese. I went to this site, http://www.saiga-jp.com/language/kanji_list.html, and looked at all the Kanji they had. The closest one to the 2nd kanji for the FTG formula I found in the 2nd grade set. Where it says "Grade 2 (160 characters) available contents: basic informations, stroke order image, pronunciation audio", right at the edge of the light blue box, go to the 3rd Kanji on the right past the box and you get 交. Now I down't know what these are pronounced as in japanese, but Cross actually sounds fitting due to the use of this technique. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:55, November 16, 2012 (UTC) Connor 9:54, November 16, 2012 UTC-06:00
hirashin lv 2 or hirashin has 2 steps
because NS 248 was out,... so, which one is true?? there is hirashin lv 2 or hirashin has 2 steps??? sorry for my bad english... 184.108.40.206 (talk) 08:34, February 10, 2012 (UTC)FantasticGirl

Picture Slideshow
Why are we using that slideshow? The first and second pictures are at angles that do not properly show Minato teleporting. The one where he teleported to Mahiru's foot is more accurate. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 08:00, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- The single image of his with his hand on Mahiru's foot O.o? I know that the sequence in there now is not the best to illustrate the technique (this would be one of the only times I'd support us using .gifs) but one image can and probably will never, properly display the technique.--Cerez365™ 12:06, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- How about one image of Mahiru alone, then the next, Minato teleports to his foot? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 23:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the scene doesn't play out like that in the anime, as the beginning of that particular event is depicted in close-up, so currently the sequence that is being used is the most viable one. Other than waiting for the scene where Minato confronts A, there is little alternative than to stick with what's already there, although maybe the addition of some concise descriptions to the images could help clarify what is actually occurring. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:54, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I was also waiting on the A vs. Minato clash to see if better series of images could come from there since that's the best scene(s) with them. So why not simply use them now? I know it's been depicted in the anime, but those images show the technique best.--Cerez365™ 01:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I didn't watch that two-parter close enough to notice, so let's wait for A vs Minato and hope for the best there. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 02:31, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I was also waiting on the A vs. Minato clash to see if better series of images could come from there since that's the best scene(s) with them. So why not simply use them now? I know it's been depicted in the anime, but those images show the technique best.--Cerez365™ 01:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Yes but what about changing it now O.o It'd look like this:Much easier to follow and such ye?--Cerez365™ 02:42, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Not enough background, looks like its from 3 different chapters. --Gojita (talk) 13:26, March 12, 2012 (UTC)Gojita
- Cerez's gallery seems best. Looks like a good display/summary of the technique to me Skitts (talk) 14:47, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not too sure, as I think the flow of either sequence suffers greatly from the severe angle changes that are present in both, meaning that someone's preference becomes more dependent upon how acquainted they are with the particular scenes. It's a shame that the "two steps" of the technique haven't been clarified, as the inclusion of short descriptions could have really helped. Blackstar1 (talk) 15:47, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Not too sure what "not enough background" means O.o People are already (or at least should be) well acquainted with how the technique works given that it has appeared in all Naruto-related mediums. This is simply a case where we'd use manga images to depict the sequence of event which could be aided by descriptions with the images: "Minato scatters his kunai over the battlefield" "is able to move from one location to another marked location" etc for example. It's a bit regressive, but with the policy that prohibits the use of .gif files, I don't think any of the current images can "really" show the technique.--Cerez365™ 16:33, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Well if concise descriptions are to be included, then I'm fine with using the manga sequence, given that it has better clarity and that I'm under the impression it depicts how Minato is implied to typically employ the technique (i.e. scattering numerous kunai). Blackstar1 (talk) 16:59, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Trivia point
So I'm not sure, maybe I'm interpreting it wrongly (and I don't think asking the author will help much) but is there a point to having a trivia point that says:
"In the games, most of Minato's ultimate techniques involves teleporting behind his opponent using Rasengan."
I mean, isn't that Minato's whole fighting style O.o.--Cerez365™ 00:48, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
well, we don't have enough battle scenes with Minato in canon, so we can't really know yet--Deathmailrock (talk) 07:09, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Hiraishin Lv 2
should we add in the trivia section that in the indonesian version of the volume, there is hiraishin lv 2..?? [1] [2]
minato says "inilah hiraishin level dua (english: that(this) was hiraishin lv 2)"...
sorry for my bad english... ^.^ 184.108.40.206 (talk) 09:57, March 18, 2012 (UTC)Jengkol
- All versions said that. It was a mistranslation that was cleared up here.--Cerez365™ 10:17, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
random here just wanna add how the flying thunder god jutsu seems to be more about reverse summoning than anything else mentioned in its article.—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- Okay. What is in the article is pretty much a direct translation from the databook.--Cerez365™(talk) 09:31, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering on the Users of the technique
Didn't Naruto use this in chapter 544? or was that something else?—This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
No Naruto didn't use hiraishin no jutsu, he just used the immense amount of speed granted by the 9-tails chakra mode. Yamato just likened it to the hiraishin no jutsu.18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:37, September 14, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
I disagree. I think Naruto did use it. He learned it from his dad during their time together. Both Tsunade and Bee thought it looked "just like a yellow flash". I'm sure A fought with many Jinchurikis before, first example being Bee himself who has an excellent bond with Hachibi, yet it is still said "naruto is the second to ever evade it". Therefore I think it's no coincidence, speed and Biju power isn't enough to dodge it - Naruto can not only USE flying thunder god, he perfected it (like he did with Rasengan, his dad's other S-level technique) 22.214.171.124 (talk) 10:49, November 28, 2012 (UTC) Kobi Mangafan
- The Flying thunder god technique requires a seal at the place where the user wants to go. Naruto hasn't placed out any seals.
- The Flying thunder god technique summons a person to the seal, thus no movement and no flash.
- Minato didn't get the nickname "yellow flash" from using the Flying thunder god technique, but from his "normal" speed. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 11:19, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
It was just a body flicker my god...--Elveonora (talk) 19:08, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Level 2 and game
So, I was checking new gameplay video, and it seems that, at least for video game purposes, they do consider the "level 2" a different technique, it's Minato's ninjutsu during awakenings in UNS3. They called it "Flying Raijin: Second Stage", that's probably 飛雷神二の段, which we would translate as "Flying Thunder God: Second Step". Looks like the same thing he did against Obito, the action in the video was a bit fast, but that's what it looked like. That'll probably be created for video game, but the question is, do we consider it a separate technique manga and anime wise as well? I know we always considered it just an explanation of the technique itself. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:10, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Anyone? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:46, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
No, "Flying Thunder God Technique Level 2" sounds stupid as an article. But if a videogame names them separately, we will do so... so canonical article nope, but two game articles yep if that bothers you ;)--Elveonora (talk) 23:19, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
- The video game technique "Flying Thunder God: Sequential Steps" was most likely named after what the manga called "Flying Thunder God: Second Step". It wouldn't be anything "new". What I wonder is if we should do like it was done with Sasori. There were at least a few of his techniques in the manga and anime that were never named, but named in the video games, so those were used. I don't know if they were considered techniques in their own right before the games came out, that happened way before I knew what Naruto was. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:45, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Those 2 Sasori's techniques were unique, this is flying thunder god no matters how you look at it. Would be like making a separate article for the ranged variant of Rasenshuriken. Also what about this? http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Flying_Thunder_God_Technique/Archive_1#About_the_so-called_Hiraishin_Level_2 --Elveonora (talk) 01:31, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
I don't know. I liken it to when one technique is used a new way and although the newly named technique is simply a different way to use the very same technique. I think of it like the naruto uzumaki 2k barrage vs the original naruto uzumaki barrage.220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:50, November 7, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
If the game lists it as a technique then I believe we should add it as a game technique without letting one media colour the other. Maybe make a note that in the canon series it's a misconception about the "two steps" and such.--Cerez365™(talk) 08:33, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
How does he know when to dodge the attack of a lightning-fast punch from A? Minato may be fast, but it dosen't increase his reflexes.--Aeonophic (talk) 21:25, November 18, 2012 (UTC)Aeonophic
- It gives him the advantage by only requiring him to notice the attack is coming, not try and maneuver out of the way, the seal does it for him. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 21:45, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
- He dodges it at the last possible moment. Though Minato has good reflexes, it's not something that he does reflex-wise, to me at least, it seems as though, A was simply an inch away from punching Minato and the speed of his technique allowed him to fly in that short gap of time.--Cerez365™(talk) 21:46, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
ya know in the first episode and chapter of the series, in the very beginning; Minato and Gamabuna are briefly shown fighting Kurama.. and theres a bright flash ending the flashback.. so im pretty sure that is the first official debut of Hiraishin.--RexGodwin (talk) 05:11, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Except Hiraishin doesn't give off light. A bit in the games, but not in the manga and anime. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:09, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Flying Thunder God Slash
I had a hunch that this day would possibly come ever since Mianto said Tobirama could use Jikukan Ninjutsu. Any way, I just wanted to know if anyone could find a source for where it says that Minato created this technique? I tried to find databook translations, but was not successful.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:24, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- There's a reference to second databook, too lazy to check it out lol. If the kanji are mostly the same, then I doubt it's just a coincidence--Elveonora (talk) 15:40, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Can't find anything either :-/--Elveonora (talk) 15:50, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- According to this (not too sure it counts as a link that shouldn't be there) it does say a technique of the Fourth Hokage. Though that still doesn't say he invented or engineered it. Omnibender could actually confirm it better than me, as I actually speak Spanish, not Portuguese.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:51, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps Sasuke invented Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique by himself but the concept existed earlier on just like perhaps Minato took what Tobirama had and improved upon it--Elveonora (talk) 16:01, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
That scanlation says nothing we don't know or list already. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:05, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- It's more how we word it, rather than what's actually there. We have accurate information and everything, but there's a huge difference when we say "used by Minato Namikaze" as opposed to "created by Minato Namikaze". Going forward it could make the difference.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:46, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Sempai, i can speak Portuguese (actually i am that) and there is nothing in that link you posted that states that Minato invented the technique, only that his use of it was what made him famous. Minato may have improved the technique, he maybe better at it than Tobirama, but we have zero evidence that he was it's creator...add that to the how he slapped himself and the Second as space-time technique users and now this technique, with virtually the same name...yeah i think i make myself clear. Darksusanoo (talk) 02:52, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
Was this technique indeed created by Minato? The reference provided in the article for the info, which is the 2nd databook, says nothing of such. The 2nd databook simply says the technique is Minato's technique. I think that the line came to be in the article when some Minato-fan created or edited the article. This is why any info not EXPLICITLY supported by canon should never be allowed in here. Original research or "intelligent deductions" should be limited as much as possible. NoJutsu (talk) 04:47, March 20, 2013 (UTC)
- If you had bothered to look at the section above the one you created you'd have seen that the community was already discussing the issue. Stop blowing it out of proprtion, it was neither research nor intelligent deductions, it was a poor word choice from a translation. Notice since you have the databook translation at hand, that the article is possibly near word-for-word of it.--Cerez365™(talk) 09:58, March 20, 2013 (UTC)
Minato and formula
Unless I'm missing something, Minato used FTG by the end of the chapter the same way Tobirama did, both simply touched another Hokage and all vanished. Unless it's revealed Minato's tags are very resistant to lots of stuff and persist through years, and that he tagged lots of random locations before his death, I don't see how he could have teleported to his own face in the Hokage Mountain. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:49, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- I just don't get it. Nothing indicated that they used Hiraishin at all. All that seemed to happen was they used super-speed or the Body Flicker Technique to move quickly to their respective heads. And can you guys check my question on Tobirama's talk page?
- [edit] Hm, I see them touching the shoulders of the other Hokage. Skitts (talk) 22:51, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
I can't explain how the seal persisted so long, especially considering his death, but Minato does appear to teleport to his own face in the Hokage Mountain in Chapter 502 (page 6). Blackstar1 (talk) 23:00, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Which is part of the reason I think they might've just used the BF. o3o Skitts (talk) 23:08, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
They obviously used hirashin, Tobirama touched Hashirama and Minato marked Sarutobi. Also Omni, you are forgetting the seal was already placed on the monument during QB attack--Elveonora (talk) 23:42, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Minato marked Hiruzen? Er, what? And Omni's whole point is that unless there is something special about Minato's tags (i.e they don't deteriorate from the elements), then there's no explanation how he (or Tobirama) can be said to have used Hiraishin in this instance.
- [Edit] And I'd like to point something out. Based on these 2 pages (627pg13 & 627pg16), they were already directly above the Hokage monument, so I don't see why they would've had to have used Hiraishin to move a few dozen feet forward, minus just the BFT. So, I petition we remove any mention of Tobirama having Hiraishin until he actually uses it, or mentions that he knows it. Skitts (talk) 23:55, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
What about the sound effect when they touch them? And Hashirama orders Tobirama to use Hirashin in the shrine if you forgot--Elveonora (talk) 23:58, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- The sound effect, I dunno. In the translation I read, Hashirama just says that they were going to fly outside the Naka Shrine. We should get Seelentau to check this out when the raws are released. Skitts (talk) 00:01, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
No links to scanlations. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:05, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
He still says Hirashin and meant for transport, thus his usage at least of it is undoubtful--Elveonora (talk) 00:11, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- He mentions that "We can't use the Hiraishin, we're bound." I agree that could indicate he knows it, or a goof ON Kishi's part in that he knew that Minato knew the technique (not the first time Kishi's made a goof like that lately, i.e Hashi and Tsunade). Skitts (talk) 00:18, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
whoever said that his tags disappear with his death or that that wear away with natural weathering? speculation right there--126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:13, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- I think all Tobirama/Minato did was "mark" the other two Hokage. If they had flown, the smoke would've appeared like it always does. They could be planning on using it now/next chapter.--Cerez365™(talk) 02:38, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Jutsu are held together by the chakra of the user. At death their chakra disappears. And so do the Jutsu. I always thought that the kunai he had the seals engraved on were still there.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 02:40, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
I agree it was the flying thunder god, and no jutsu do not all the time disappear with the death of their user. hence itachi amaterasu sealing in sasuke before he first met madara (tobi), and any type of sealing jutsu actually makes that statement null. if their jutsu was only held together by their chakra and it broke apart with their death then the nine tails seal would of broken when the 4th died. same with the reanimation jutsu, although it directly states it would not end that way. since the flying thundergod was mention several times, and both the hokage knowing it made physical contact with the two that didn't before vanishing and reappearing at the hokages heads, accompanied by the sound effects used for the flying thunder god, I am inclined to believe that is what was used. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:30, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
@Cerez, the smoke wasn't always there, I remember Minato using it at least twice without it, the smoke ISN'T part of the technique, just an effect, kinda like a trope of sorts--Elveonora (talk) 12:58, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

File:Naruto_defeats_Menma.png, here?--Samemaru 23:32, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Not because the scene looks similar means Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique.--Cerez365™(talk) 00:12, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
All we know is that he somehow managed to catch the thrown Kunai, likely body flicker--Elveonora (talk) 09:21, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
The Four Hokage
The Four Hokage each used it individually to warp to Kunai placed by minato. Review the chapter before removing them from the user's box. Tobirama didn't touch them, and they warped to different locations around the 10 tails, each one of them appearing in front of the prior placed Kunai. Skarrj (talk) 11:31, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- They aren't users, they simply have the sealing formula placed by either Minato or Tobirama on them, it's the two who transported 1st and 3rd to the Kunai--Elveonora (talk) 11:37, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed, they were marked which is why they asked Minato if he had placed them for the barrier when they got there.Umishiru (talk) 11:40, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Funny how people would like to credit everything to everyone. Now 4 Hokages using Hirashin and the other guy making Naruto and Hashirama users of the same technique, please take that to fanfic wiki until confirmed--Elveonora (talk) 11:43, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed, they were marked which is why they asked Minato if he had placed them for the barrier when they got there.Umishiru (talk) 11:40, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Also, I was wroung about Hashirama, he didn't actually move and kept current location- Hiruzen did however warp.. They OBVIOUSLY were marked. Minato is the only one who has the Kunais. But simply having a marked Kunai or knowing one exists does not mean you can teleport to it. They simply share a channel through which they teleport and because of that the seal is indiscriminate, meaning anyone who can use the technique can teleport through the marker. Observe pages 8 and 9 again please. Minato, Tobirama and Hiruzen aren't touching or even directly by one another. Hiruzen only asks if the Kunai are in their correct places, because to use the barrier technique they had to assume the four cardinal directions. So the kunai had to be in specific spots, which is what Hiruzen was verifying. Sakura also states on the next panel that they instantly vanished. And they each teleport to a Kunai far apart from one another. Minato and Tobirama didn't assist Hiruzen, he used the technique of his own accord, and warped to a location far from the ones that Tobirama and Minato used. Skarrj (talk) 11:47, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Page nine shows Minato telling the two hokage to come to him, then he raises his arms to touch them from behind. He's the one doing the teleporting.
- Anonymous
Hiruzen, Tobirama and Minato. They all use "hand seal" itself to go to the kunai that Minato mark .. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 17:23, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- They use hand seal after they are already teleported to use the barrier--Elveonora (talk) 18:20, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
Tobirama could already use the Hirashin so he probably sent himself, plus it was once said that Hiruzen could use all of the Konoha jutsu's, and Hirashin is a Konoha Jutsu..... plus it didn't show that someone teleported him to the Kunai, so Hiruzen could have used the Hirashin.....--Deathmailrock (talk) 21:35, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Had Hiruzen known Hiraishin no jutsu, he would have used it over 16 years ago against the Fox. PWNED, any counter arguments?--Elveonora (talk) 22:09, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
If Hiruzen had Hiraishin then why did he need Minato to warp him to the Stone Faces?? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:32, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
Genma is assistant Minato, Minato has trained so Genma and other assistants this technique .. So, before they went to see Naruto, in chapter 630, the odds on that time, he has trained Hiruzen .. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:57, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
Elvenora, you know that just because he could use the jutsu doesn't mean he could use it as well as Minato, so he probably couldn't use it to teleport the ninetails or get to Minato's location because the seals could have been destroyed or he didn't know where the seals were, so he wouldn't be able to use it against the ninetails, also, his old age effected his ability to use jutsu remember? so NOT PWNED--Deathmailrock (talk) 07:07, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Third Hokage
-sigh- I knew this would happen: didn't the third Hokage use the technique along with Minato and Tobirama in chapter 631? They teleported to the kunai to create that barrier. So I listed him as user but it got removed what now --FirePit (talk) 22:55, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- No, Minato teleported him. The sealing tags on Hiraishin Kunai are custom made, meaning Tobirama should not be able to teleport to Minato's seal and Minato to Tobirama's. It were Minato's kunais and he placed them--Elveonora (talk) 23:04, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- No. Not to mention, you can see Minato's hand touching the Third in the panel where Hiruzen asks Minato if he had applied the marks yet. Skitts (talk) 23:41, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think he used it either. There would've been no need for Minato to be touching Hiruzen either way. They could've simply sent Minato ahead of them because he's faster/he decided to go ahead and Tobirama flew with Hashirama and Hiruzen. A lot of things could've transpired. I'm sorta disappoint though that Tobirama seemingly can't fly to Minato's marks that would've been cool.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:42, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
- No. Not to mention, you can see Minato's hand touching the Third in the panel where Hiruzen asks Minato if he had applied the marks yet. Skitts (talk) 23:41, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
Ummm while the Hirashin Kunai are custom made (where does it say that though), how does that equate to Tobirama not being able to use them? it was never stated that the seals were different.... it never stated that Minato couldn't use Tobirama's seals or Tobirama couldn't use Minato's seals--Deathmailrock (talk) 07:00, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
The reason is that when Tobirama uses the jutsu with the Flying Thunder God Slash he is using an older variation of the technique.When Minato uses the Flying Thunder God technique he has his kunai and seals involved with it so it's safe to say that Minato is using a newer version of the Flying Thunder God technique.When Tobirama uses the technique he doesen't use seals or kunai and can only travel a short distance when he killed Izuna Uchiha.Whiteraven1 (talk) 09:57, June 3, 2013 (UTC)Whiteraven1

University Police Civil Service Exam Application Deadline set for Oct. 13Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
The State University of New York Police Department is looking for officers, and the closing date for applicants is rapidly approaching.
"There are several upcoming Civil Service entrance examinations for University Police Officers around the state, but those interested need to apply by Oct. 13," said SUNY Canton University Police Deputy Chief Steven L. Livernois. "Applicants need to take this test as their first step toward a new and rewarding career."
There are approximately 500 officers stationed at about 28 colleges and universities across the state. "This career allows officers to go anywhere, or work near their hometown," Livernois said.
SUNY University Police Officers are part of the educational process at each of their respective colleges. They speak on a variety of topics related to overall safety and teach life-saving classes in first aid. They develop and maintain a positive relationship with students, faculty and staff in order to continue the overall safety and wellbeing of the each entire campus community.
SUNY Canton is also home to the David Sullivan – St. Lawrence County Law Enforcement Academy, which offers the New York State basic course and the pre-employment basic course for police "Someone from the area can start here, finish here, and stay here, if they so desire," Livernois said.
The next Civil Service Examinations will be held on Nov. 15. More information on the upcoming test, including the minimum qualifications and job descriptions, as well as the necessary application materials are available at the SUNY Canton University Police website, www.canton.edu/university_police/. For more information, contact the SUNY Canton University Police Department at 386.7777.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years. Construction is now underway for the College's new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Germinating: Their art transforms nature
Most people just sweep them off the sidewalk. But for Sara Crisp and Fleming Cunningham Lunsford, two artists sharing space this month at the Second Street Gallery, Nature's detritus– seeds, leaves, petals, grass– are the raw materials of art.
Don't assume that this exhibit could double as a natural history museum attraction, though. In both artists' work, seeds and grass are only the starting point. What makes their work interesting is how they mediate these natural materials– how they multiply and abstract them through an unconventional photographic process, as is the case in the work of Lunsford, or bury them under layers of wax and stain, as does Crisp. The finished work is a monstrous hike beyond anything you might find lying on a nature trail.
Lunsford begins her work with the camera, taking magnified close-up shots of petals and grass. She then tears her resulting photos apart, removes the emulsions, and presses them to a sheet of paper in a loose approximation of a grid. The emulsions, once pressed to paper, look like tiny flags or squares of delicate paper, wrinkled and bent as if by the wind. The process leaves some aspects of the plant matter intact, even exposed, as with the clearly discernible, veiny flesh of "Acer rubrum (Maple Helicopters)." But save for the naturalists in the room, most viewers aren't going to be able to identify the plant life in Lunsford's abstracted work.
Conversely, Crisp actually incorporates the natural objects in the work. Her ferns, poppies, antler fragments and even a rattlesnake skeleton are set in thick milky wax and left suspended in picture-windows in the center of each work. These windows account for only a small percentage of surface area; Crisp surrounds them with layered panels, covered in what appears to be a dark wood stain, and cut in geometric patterns: in a grid, as on graph paper, or in symmetric pinwheels. The stain coupled with the windows gives the work an almost cabinet-like display-space appearance. And certainly, Crisp looks to contrast the natural, uneven shapes of her seeds, leaves and bones with the even, mathematical designs cut into the face of her work.
At the Second Street Gallery, Sara Crisp and Fleming Cunningham Lunsford's "Flora & Fauna," multi-media art with a botanical theme. Through September 29. 201 Second. St. NW. 977-7284.

Fedora 18 for ARM
The Fedora ARM team is pleased to announce the final release of Fedora 18 for ARM processors. Installable images and tar files are now available for download for both ARMv5 (in the 'arm' directory) and ARMv7 (in the 'armhfp' directory) from:
What is included in the Fedora 18 for ARM release?
The Beta release includes prebuilt images for Versatile Express (QEMU), Trimslice (Tegra), Pandaboard (OMAP4), GuruPlug (Kirkwood), and Beagleboard (OMAP3) hardware platforms. Fedora 18 for ARM now includes an install tree in the yum repository, which may be used to PXE-boot a kickstart-based install on systems that support it, such as the Calxeda EnergyCore (HighBank). Prebuilt images can be written directly to SD Card, USB, or SATA drive and in most cases can be booted without any additional steps or configuration. Please see the board-specific release notes for additional information.
Release Notes
- Board Specific Notes (If your device is not listed in the supported images and you would like to offer your assistance please contact the Fedora ARM team.)
Known Issues
- Images were composed using tools in Fedora 17 due to continuing work on Fedora 18.
- When using the images on the Pandaboard, Trimslice, Kirkwood and the Beagleboard the system will automatically reboot and repartition the root filesystem on first boot. To prevent this delete the '.rootfs-repartition' flag in '/' or by passing a kernel command line argument of 'nofsresize'.
- When upgrading the to 3.7.X kernel on the Trimslice you will require a new version of U-Boot that supports Device Tree.
