Water Release and DNA modification
Guys, there's something crazy here. Kabuto has implanted the DNA of the Sound Four into himself. This accounts for his use of Sakon and Ukon's Kekkei Genkai and Shikotsumyaku, but Tayuya's auditory genjutsu and Kimmimaro's Hiden techniques? Seriously, I know sometimes heritage is needed to perform some hidden techniques, but its not just that. And Tayuya's techniques are neither hidden nor Kekkei Genkai, the why would he need her DNA to perform her techniques. To perform Tayuya's and Kimmimaro's techniques he has to know them, and if he does, he has no need for the dopplegangers. And where did he use the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique?Undominanthybrid (talk) 15:30, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
- From what I know all hiden technique require "heritage. I wouldn't be surprised if Tayuya's abilities are labelled as hiden later on given she even has summons and all.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:36, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I will leave it at that. But you didn't answer my question fully. Where did he use the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique?Undominanthybrid (talk) 15:41, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
He can't play a flute ? ... I think you have answered it yourself. More important question is: can he use water release due to stolen DNA or it's his own skill ?--Elveonora (talk) 16:39, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
- He still used it didn't he? That in itself means it's his technique. If that wasn't the case then we wouldn't be able to put Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique for Kakashi because he hasn't shown to use the skill before or after that incident. Stole the technique =/= not his to use. Joshbl56 16:58, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
Nature Transformation sub-section in the abilities' section
Why is there no section for Nature Transformation for Kabuto's abilities' section?Undominanthybrid (talk) 15:59, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Probably because he's only used it twice. Skitts (talk) 16:05, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
- True but shouldn't that at least merit a mention in his ninjutsu section? Joshbl56 16:52, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
Kabuto has not used nature transformation techniques to a degree that there's enough information for it to have its own section. The last paragraph before sub-sections of his abilities begin already details his use of nature transformation, along with other skills he has used a bit.

Unique traits
Kabuto's infobox shows that he has kekkei genkai, even if by unnatural means. Can someone please add his unique trait of being able absorb natural energy from Jugo's abilities. Steveo920, 20:49 June 2, 2012
Kabuto never said his ability to take in natural energy came from Jugo. He merely said that he had the source of Jugo's clan's ability, which is wher he learned senjutsu.--Deva 27 01:14, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
Month old topic I know, but Kabuto's Senjutsu was learned from the Snake Sage, but his ability to gain natural energy while moving is taken from Jugo. The power taken from Jugo's clan is his method to bypass the need to remain still while absorbing natural chakra, like the Amphibian technique or Naruto's use of shadow clones to do it. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 05:28, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't Kabuto be listed in the Sage subheader now?
Title, I believe he;s a dragon-sage now, after the transformation, right?18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:01, June 13, 2012 (UTC)Enderbender
- No, just a Sage. Kabuto said that normally (after he absorbed Orochimaru, he's a "snake") after entering snake Sage Mode, he's a "dragon". This is all metaphorical.--Cerez365™(talk) 01:26, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
Not sure how to reply to this properly, I apologize and assume it will be changed by a mod, but--He IS considerede a Sage, right? And, there are different types of Sages-Naruto and Jiraiya were Nature or Frog Sages then there's the Sage of Six Paths, right? I thought Sage was a term for a transformation. Kabuto Volume 579, page 13 he states he was taught by the White Snake Sage to reach Ryuchidou (the Sage State), he didn't just use the Jugo DNA or what have you, or am I wrong? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:37, June 13, 2012 (UTC)Enderbender
- Yeah Kabuto's a Sage. He's classified as one in his infobox o.o He was taught at the Ryūchi Cave by the White Snake Sage and as people have explained (i'm not entirely clear on it) he uses Jūgo's ability to gather natural energy constantly to remain in the mode.--Cerez365™(talk) 01:52, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
a chapter question and Sage Mode
- Why did Kabuto want to kill Sasuke in the hospital ? I don't get it.
- Is Kabuto's Sage Mode really perfect ? He has horns and all, and "true sage mode" is without physical modification except eyes, right ? "_"--Elveonora (talk) 11:08, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
- For your 2nd question, maybe its true only for toad sages — ¤ULTIMATE SUPREME ¤ (T@lk) 11:10, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
- For the first, possible because he considered abandon Orochimaru and/or spare Sasuke from the darkness in his heart. But since Kakashi walked in and revealed Kabuto's connection to Orochimaru, Kabuto couldn't go back being a "normal" Konoha ninja, thus making him stay with Orochimaru. All speculation though. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 11:22, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
@UltimateSupreme, that's kinda contradicting "_" @jacce, that would make a lot of sense if it hasn't turned out that Kabuto loved Oro and HATED Konoha--Elveonora (talk) 11:49, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Right before Kabuto went to Sasuke he was talking to Orochimaru about how he wasn't told about the sound genin and if Kabuto wanted Orochimaru dead, he should kill Sasuke. Staying in Konoha vs. being Orochimarus newest test subject could have made him willing to tolerate Konoha. And it is possible Kishimoto had something different planed for Kabuto but changed his mind. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 12:05, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
I sense a retcon or something, it doesn't add up much with what we were told about recently--Elveonora (talk) 12:29, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
About Sage Mode(s): How is it contradicting though? We don't know that snake's Sage Mode has anything in common with toad's Sage Mode except that they both use natural energy. It might be highly inaccurate to benchmark one from the other when they're two entirely different species. Sage Mode for snakes might require them to grow horns while toads are only supposed to manifest changes in their eyes.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:40, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
Well, we aren't even 100% sure that the horns are result of his Sage Mode ... could be due to Kimimaro's KKG or something 0_o (unlikely, just saying) ... It wasn't even explained why those that have trained Sage Mode at mount Myoboku turn into frogs when they fail to balance natural energy ... then those from Ryuchi Cave will transform into snakes ? O_O Really no idea how that works ... by logic it should be the same as Natural Energy isn't exclusive to those places ... maybe it has something to do with what species they signed contract with ?--Elveonora (talk) 13:00, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
The Third Power
What's happened to Kabuto in the most recent chapter? The cave started to seal in, but no sign of Kabuto anywhere. Is he dead? Roydon Namikaze (Talk) 22:35, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
- More like "Incapacitated" is what I would go with. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 22:37, July 4, 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- He's still there, Suigetsu was even grossed out by him. Read the chapter again. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:49, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
Lost Abilities
ok so are all the abilities kabuto assimilated gone, now that oro reabsorbed his chakra? o are just the snake techniques he got from oro gone? although the abilities he got from the sound 5 most certainly are DNA based, from what we know the abilities he got from sasuke's teammate were copied, he never said he got karin's healing abilitiy from her dna ( though i can see the arugment against that) or how he said he "Examined" suigetsu hydrification technique and "Put it to use" ( besides its a hiden technique, mening its not genetic), and he Learned ( keyword being learned) how to use senjutsu from the white snake sage. also jugo said that oro only absorbed his own chakra from kabuto and specificaly said heleft kabuto's own chakra alone, so wouldnt that mean he's only lost the snake technique (and possbly edo tensei)? anyway shouldnt we put captions next to the jutsu in his infobox to show that theyre former abilities?126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:49, July 11, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
- We should wait until the manga actually shows Kabuto being able or unable to use those techniques anymore. TricksterKing (talk) 09:05, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
yes. but the thing is, we'll probably not see him again, since hes caught in the infinate loop (though he might (might) be able to escape).220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:15, July 11, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
- That is a possibility but until then there isn't any proof that he's lost anything except for Orochimaru's chakra. TricksterKing (talk) 09:27, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
I agree with TricksterKing in thinking that we're being slightly premature with this, afterall Anko Mitarashi can use a great number of snake-based techniques despite never having been stated to possess Orochimaru's DNA or chakra to do so. So, for many of Kabuto's techniques, it isn't simply a question of whether the removal of Orochimaru's DNA prevents their use, but rather if the reduction in his chakra also plays a significant factor. This potentially makes the situation slightly more complex than some people consider it. Blackstar1 (talk) 09:53, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
it certainly is complex. but i do think that oro's chakra in kabuto being removed is kinda like how after itachi used the totsuka blade to remove oro's curse mark from sasuke, and sasuke never was seen using oro's snake techniques again. i would also like to add that kabuto's snake scales and as it seems navel snake disappeared after oro removed his chakra. but i geuss we will have to wait till more info is released regarding this.188.8.131.52 (talk) 10:00, July 11, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
I agree with BlackStar1 and TricksterKing. It never crossed my mind that the abilities Kabuto got edgewise were taken from him just Orochimaru's chakra which means his appearance would change, possibly some of his snake related abilities but not everything. His chakra levels without Orochimaru's own may be a limiting factor now though. That's if he ever wakes up (poor lad looked so sad and lost :<)--Cerez365™(talk) 10:33, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
i just thought it should be noted, but i do agree its not easy to say for sure either way. it is kinda sad what happened to kabuto (especialy the look oro had when he reabsorbed his chakra from kabuto who looked so sad).126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:37, July 11, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Sorry If this is a dumb question (or even out of place since this is not a blog) ,but seeing as how Orochimaru seems to have a natural chakra affinity for snakes ,was it his chakra to begin with that allowed Kabuto to become a Snake Sage? I mean I'm not saying you cant just sign a contract and summon a snake ,but even the 4th Hokage wasn't a Toad sage. I'm not jumping the gun and assuming anything just wondering if tho it may not effect his other abilities ,it may prevent him from going to sage mode? Because his snake like form had to be a result of Snake Sage mode just as Jiraiya looked like a toad ,and it seems all of Kabutos snake attributes has left. —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
No, Kabuto mastered the Sage Mode by himself--Elveonora (talk) 21:47, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
actually he even said he learned snake sage mode under The White Snake Sage.188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:47, July 14, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
First of all, Jiraiya was the only person hinted to have any natural affinity to toads by the Great Toad Sage (not that anime fodder about using the technique and it carries you to blah). Naruto's only affinity towards them was Gama-chan before learning Kuchiyose. Yes Orochimaru is snake-themed and all (maybe it's a family thing) but I don't think it was his chakra directly that allowed this but possibly the boost in stamina and chakra reserves allowed him to be able to undergo the training but not because Kabuto became more "snake-like". And Minato was simply not a toad Sage because he could do badass all by himself.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:20, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
People speculate too much, Oro just took back his own chakra that Kabuto drained from Anko and undid his transformation, no indication of any lost abilities.--Elveonora (talk) 15:58, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
As far as I know, Kabuto was only an antagonist in the series when he absorbed Orochimaru's DNA. Since he has seemingly been reverted back to his old form, is he an antagonist anymore ? --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 22:21, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
- What kind of twisted logic is that? He was an antagonist since he turned against Konoha, Oro's DNA wasn't what made him evil--Elveonora (talk) 22:24, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
- He was an antagonist, but not a major one. Only since he absorbed Oro's DNA did he become major. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 22:28, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
It doesn't mean he is less of a villain without it, we don't know if Kishimoto plans on killing Kabuto etc. he might awake and turn the tides of the war to his side again. I'd wait a few more chapters to see if he is done or not, if Kabuto dies or is trapped forever, then it should be changed to "was one of the major villains/antagonists"--Elveonora (talk) 22:36, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not denying he was an antagonist because he always has been. What I'm saying is that he only became a major antagonist because of Orochimaru's DNA and now that all of Oro's chakra has been removed from him, he's been returned to the form he had before Orochimaru "died" and therefore he cannot contribute any more in the war, making him a former major antagonist. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 13:50, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
How do you know he can't contribute to the way anymore? O_O--Elveonora (talk) 14:07, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
- He only joined the war to provide reanimated corpses for Tobi and he only managed to use Edo Tensei because of Orochimaru's chakra from what I've seen so far. I doubt he'd be able to pull off what he has done so far again with his lower chakra levels. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 14:20, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
i agree with elveonora, he may escape the loop. considering how unpredictable kabuto is he may have more to add to this war.126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:26, July 12, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
|he may escape the loop
|he may have more to add to this war.
is that supposted to be sarcasm? anyway , it wouldnt be the first time kishi sprung a surprise on us, besides it is posssible that kabuto may escape, i admit a very small chance but... it could (key word being could) happen.126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:52, July 12, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
We shouldn't predict and assume the way the story is gonna turn. Just like the majority believed that Madara is going "bye bye" and Kishi trolled them. Also Kabuto has used Edo Tensei before absorbing Orochimaru's chakra from Anko, Edo Tensei is not a Kekkei Genkai so there is no reason for he shouldn't be able to pull it out again even without Oro's DNA ... he knows the workings/formula and handseals.--Elveonora (talk) 20:12, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Nobody said it was a KG. And show me which episode he used ET before absorbing Orochimaru's DNA because he has never used it until integrating Oro's DNA. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 20:18, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
I said before integrating his chakra and that Oro's DNA had nothing to do with his usage of Edo Tensei, he simply learned and used it.--Elveonora (talk) 20:24, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
firstly for all we know oro's chakra was just a booster. secondly he used edo tensei before absorbing oro's chakra from anko when he blackmailed tobi and when he went to the island turtle using deidara.18.104.22.168 (talk) 23:44, July 14, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
You are forgetting that he got a power boost from absorbing Orochimaru's remains and that he didn't show that he could use edo tensei before that. TricksterKing (talk) 00:46, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
nobody ever said kabuto doesnt sill have some of oro's DNA still in him. jugo said oro only absorbed his own chakra and just undid the sage mode transformation, the reason why kabuto was reverted to human form is because kabuto's sage transformation, oro undid said transformation. note undone and taken away are to completely seperate things.188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:58, July 15, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
but back on topic, unless Kabuto dies, he is still one of the major antagonists.--Elveonora (talk) 15:56, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
agreed.22.214.171.124 (talk) 16:27, July 15, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Kabuto's Status
Should it not be changed to "incapacitated"? Seeing as how he is stuck in a genjutsu and is unable to act for the time being. --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 03:32, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
Agreed. We should list him like that at least for the time being. --X29 03:43, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
actually hypothermic would not be the way to say it. hypothermic means someone or something that has dangerously (normaly its very dangerous considering frostbite) low body temperature. but i think that guy/girl that said that was speaking of the lack of activity or motion, like he was in a sense frozen in place (till he breaks out of the genjutsu).126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:25, August 8, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Jutsu list
Am I the only one who doesn't see Slithering Snake Mode on this list? --The Goblin 12:42, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
- He isn't listed on the technique's article as a user. Not sure why but he did use it during his Izanami'd fight against Itachi.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:50, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh dear. I think I'm mixing stuff up. He isn't listed as a user of the Slithering Snake Mode because he never had a snake tail except the time he did the Human Body Shedding Technique on the island.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:55, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
I have discussed this already like dozen of times, not yet concluded. I'm saying that "human body shedding technique" doesn't even exist, it was just body shedding + slithering snake mode--Elveonora (talk) 14:09, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
List all his snake techniques as "removed"?
It should be obvious already that not having Orochimaru's DNA removes all the techniques the body modifications got him, like the ability to shed his skin, etc. Anyone agree? --M4ND0N (talk) 06:54, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
i'd wait for more people to put a word in on that topic, although i think so as well, because we never seen sasuke using any snake techniques after itachi removed his cursed seal, however he may have genuinley learned them and oro's chakra and dna was simply a booster. theres a section alread that i made proposing wether or not we remove those from his justu box, though if we do such a thing i suggest we put down "former" rather than simply removing them since this wiki puts things in past tense.126.96.36.199 (talk) 07:28, August 16, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Why? because we've seen Kabuto try to use the techniques since and they didn't work? Trivial things like these can wait until something is shown or said about the matter.--Cerez365™(talk)
We don't remove techniques from infobox when no longer usable, the page is meant to portray all events and list information from start to finish. Also saying he can't use them now is a pure speculation, there's no proof.--Elveonora (talk) 13:49, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
true.184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:49, August 16, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Kabuto's Abilities
Before Orochimaru's most recent return and subsequent absorption of his powers, didn't Kabuto have all the abilities that Orochimaru possessed? I know he used his medical knowledge to infuse himself with several shinobi powers, but were ALL of Orochimaru's abilities at Kabuto's arsenal? He even surpassed Orochimaru in some ways, such as perfecting Sage Mode, etc.; but what I'm asking here is whether or not Kabuto's infusion of Orochimaru's cells resulted in him gradually gaining all of the abilities of the latter. --22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:30, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

- 2012 University of Denver Presidential Debate
- Oct 9:
- Moderator Jim Lehrer says he got the candidates talking in the debate
- Oct 5:
- Obama, Romney get last digs in before leaving Denver
- Debate showed contrasts but 'undecideds' are still the real prize
LITTLETON — In the moments before Mitt Romney walks on stage for the first presidential debate, Ann Romney said she will not try to offer her husband any last-minute advice.
She will not coach him on how to stand or where to look. She won't give him tips on policy — "I don't weigh in on that," she said.
"I tell him, you know, he is who he is," Ann Romney said Tuesday in an interview with The Denver Post. "He's great. He's competent. He's experienced. He's done this. He's fantastic. I love him. Go! Just all those encouraging words."
Romney's remarks came after she spoke to a crowd of about 1,000 people at a "Women for Mitt" rally at the Hudson Gardens and Events Center. It was the first public campaign rally she has headlined in Colorado this year.
The rally featured a number of women — candidates for the state legislature, former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton and singer Jessie James. It also featured James' fiancé, Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker, whose endorsement of Romney came one day after Broncos legend John Elway formally did the same.
Ann Romney's speech focused — as many of them have in her busy campaign schedule — more on the personal than the political. Three of her and Mitt's 18 grandchildren stood by her side during the speech. She told stories about other grandchildren who have asked what will happen if Romney — "Papa" to the kids — is elected.
Asked in the interview about her role as the Romney campaign's ambassador to women voters, Ann Romney said she enjoys talking "about the side of Mitt people don't know, the caring side." At the rally, she told a story about his visits to a boy in the hospital who was fighting leukemia.
She said she often hears from women who are touched by the stories. "We're moving and changing hearts," she said in the interview.
And she said that making an emotional connection with voters is as important as laying out policy plans.
"I think women understand very significantly how this is an economic election and this is affecting their lives in such a dramatic way," Romney said. "They're coming to these rallies with hope that someone will make their lives better. So, I think from that perspective, obviously it's a very emotional place they're coming from because it's their lives."
For instance, Angela Lawson, who introduced Romney at the rally on Tuesday, spoke of concern over her personal economic situation, noting how she has not received a pay raise in four years and feels as if she has no choice but to live paycheck to paycheck.

October 21, 2012, was declared "Black Fashion History Day" by Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton. When the governor's Proclamation was read by "fashion enthusiast" Roger Clark to the crowd gathered at the Capri Theater in North Minneapolis that Sunday evening, it brought down the house with thunderous applause. The event was historic, memorable, and enjoyed by all who attended. The emcee was Carol Payne, who also moderated the panel discussion with panelists Rozenia Hoodfuller, a former model; Jewelean Jackson, former director of the Ms. Black MN Pageant Inc.; Sylvia Loveless-Amos, who designed for the entertainers Prince, Jody Watley, and other noted musicians; and Charles Caldwell, a former model and now owner of C. Caldwell Fine Arts Gallery and Studio. The panel did an outstanding job of informing the audience of what the fashion scene was like during this period known as the "epicenter" of Black fashion in Minnesota. Continue Reading →

Here at Compassion, I get to sit by a really cool guy named Sathy. Sathyaseelan Pannirselvam, that is. (One of my proudest moments was when I found out my last name is longer than his.)
Sathy is a native of Chennai, India, and has worked for Compassion for 10 years. He worked for Compassion India for seven years of those years as a Sponsor Donor Associate in South India, and as the Program Communication Manager in East India.
Then three years ago, he, his lovely wife and son uprooted from India to work in Colorado Springs as our International Sponsor Donor Service Field Specialist. (Job titles here at Compassion are a mouthful, huh?)
Translation: He now works to train our field countries on processes for letters and case studies (those summaries of your sponsored child in the Child Packet). He also works to identify efficient processes for these … Quite a job if you know how many letters and case studies we process!
So Sathy has a unique perspective to offer us — he's lived in India and visited Compassion's child development centers there (and Compassion-assisted centers throughout Asia, in fact), and he's lived and worked here, on the other side of things. He also knows more about all those letters than most people you'll meet. An interesting brain to pick.
Leave your questions to Sathy as comments, and I'll pick 10 of them for him to answer for us.

January 28th, 2013
This is the seventh installment of "Eat This List" - a regularly recurring list of things chefs, farmers, writers and other food experts think you ought to know about.
Last week, I found myself hanging out with five whole hogs, three briskets and a whole lot of barbecue legends (and their faithful disciples) near some fire pits in freezing cold Murphysboro, Illinois. We'd congregated there for the second annual Whole Hog Extravaganza and BBQ MBA program, and when I wasn't stuffing my mouth with some of the best pork and brisket on the planet, I was slamming it shut and soaking up what these venerable pitmasters had to say.
Here's a taste.
A whole hog is the Holy Grail for many barbecue fans, but sometimes it takes muscle to wrestle it into ideal position for smoking. The legendary Mike Mills of 17th Street Bar & Grill knows his way around a pig and its parts, and has been heard saying a time or ten that if barbecue was easy, everybody would be doing it.
This kind of barbecue takes patience. Start with the smallest tool possible to split the hog open, and only after you encounter resistance, do you start to add to your arsenal. This will pay off in the end.
As Mills said of whole hog barbecue, "It's not best value, but it is the best show. There's less cost for butts and shoulder, but there is no personality. When you serve a whole hog, everybody goes away talking about you. And it always leads to another one."
2. Hold off on sauce
"I would a whole lot rather you taste the flavor of the meat before you put anything on it. Taste the time and energy that went into it," pleaded Sam Jones. He's the third generation of pitmasters from the Skylight Inn in Ayden, North Carolina, and like his father and grandfather before him, Jones believes the magic is in the meat.
There are no proprietary rub blends or secret sauces, just salt (not measured, but rather tossed on "like you're salting a driveway"), pepper, vinegar and a splash of Texas Pete hot sauce, then a mighty long time over woodsmoke. His hogs go in the pit at 4 p.m. and are tended every 30-40 minutes until midnight. They're flipped at 6 a.m., the crew comes in at 8 a.m., stages and serves the barbecue from 10 a.m. onward, and it's all wrapped up by 2 p.m. Then the whole process starts over.
Wayne Mueller of Louie Mueller Barbecue agreed wholeheartedly with this approach. "If people leave your restaurant talking about how good your sauce is, you failed," he said.
The Mueller family has been in the business of barbecue since 1949, and as far as Wayne and all his predecessors are concerned, all a brisket needs is pepper and salt (at a 9:1 ratio if you're taking notes) and again - a whole lot of time soaking up smoke.
3. Want to calm down a crowd? Serve 'em barbecue
Passing out barbecue to terminally agitated New Yorkers at the annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is "like smoking the beehive," Mills said. "It makes them docile." He's not the only one who believes in the power of patiently-smoked meat to quell angst and build nations.
"Barbecue is a food that bridges class gap," said Jones. Per Mills' daughter Amy, barbecue is a taste memory that imprints on you from your very first bite, a culture rather than a concept, and it's also "friends, family and love."
It's "social, communal and loving," agreed Mueller, and he thinks it's about darned time it's getting its due. "Barbecue has now crawled out of the basement and has a proper place in American cuisine."
And it's also a great way to get to know the folks around you, believes Brad Orrison of The Shed (picture above, tending to a standing whole hog, smoking in a retrofitted truck), "Because not everyone has a redneck in the family."
4. Time is of the essence
After all that buildup, Barry Sorkin of Chicago's Smoque BBQ says it's time to act fast. When you're serving brisket, cut it to order when possible, because it "starts degrading the second it comes off the knife."
If a customer is looking for a little razzle-dazzle with their brisket, "Give them a show," Mueller advised - and giving samples to slavering customers doesn't hurt. He believes in the power of the free morsel to amp up anticipation and win the undying loyalty of the thousands of people a year who make the pilgrimage to Taylor, Texas to pay homage to his family's craft. He'd almost left the business at one point (as did Jones), but in the end couldn't bear the thought of depriving his community of this decades-old institution.
Mueller joked, "It's just up to me not to screw it up." (And those are his hands pictured up at the top of the page.)
5. The best barbecue doesn't just feed your mouth
The crowd watched raptly as chef and competition pitmaster John Delpha deftly deboned a whole pig to roll up, stuff and smoke into a porchetta. "It's like my own form of therapy," he said. "I get to go into my own corner and no one bothers me."
To Delpha, the process of working so meticulously and intimately with a whole animal adds a grace note of gratitude, both for chef and eater alike. "You can't go into Kroger and buy one of these," he noted. "All this work makes you appreciate it so much more."

She is absolutely splendid, isn't she? And - aside from some classic makeup - au naturel, I'm sure. The lining of the jacket does it for me (but then, the loose fit of the trousers, the color palette, the jewelry, the hat, that fabulous pair of glasses, the Chanel shoes, the Hermes bag - all of it is glorious). I'd love to see how she dresses from day to day. I adore her sense of decorum, her courtesy towards others, her joy: as expressed in her style. Perhaps the word lady is passé, but Gitte Lee is - as the Commodores had it - *three times a lady*. (Ha!) I wish she'd still model professionally, and we could see her likes in Vogue and Harper's. When are they going to wise up? Fortunately, we do have Advanced Style - which is actually infinitely better, because the result of mature style and not the braggadocchio of 23 year olds.
London is something, even for someone who is used to New York. Right?
- July 8, 2010 at 10:36 AM

62 year old female, retired nurse, I am a homebody, gardening, babysitting my 15month old grandson, vegetarian, blogger, avid reader, fan of BBC series and movies, most things Anglophile. I like casual classic clothing. Gitte Lee is my role model, her clothes are elegant and simple. I wish you would take more pictures of older, elegant women who are not necessarily THIN. How about the more voluptuous older woman? There is an entire segment of the population out there that I am not seeing.They can be beautiful, too.

Discovered your blog 2 weeks ago, and now go there a least a couple of times a day. Just bought your book "Advanced Style". Beautiful book!
Oh, I'm a 70-year-old female. Retired from the real estate field. I love to read, work on the computer, enjoy nature. Figure out my wardrobe and rearrange the house. My favorite way of dressing is classic. Gitte Lee has become my absolute idol. She is a knock-out and I'm trying to learn from her style.

10 delegates have been selected to attend the Slow Food International Congress and Terra Madre from the South-Central Region. Here is Delegate Jim Embry's story…
From October 25-29, Jim Embry of Lexington will represent the local and national good food movements at the 2012 International Slow Food conference in Torino, Italy. Every two years, Slow Food supporters from around the world come together for Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto to share innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for feeding the planet in a good, clean, and fair way .Embry will also serve as a U.S. delegate at the International Slow Food Congress, which will be held simultaneously with Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto which is one of the world's most important events dedicated to diverse food cultures, sustainability and biodiversity. The Slow Food Congress is a crucial meeting of Slow Food leaders from more than 150 countries that happens every five years, where management bodies are elected and decisions are made regarding Slow Food's worldwide strategies for developing the association. Embry, who is a member of the nearby Slow Food Bluegrass chapter, is a region seven representative (KY, TN, AL, LA & MS) and he will be accompanied by three other local good food advocates: Mark Williams (southeast regional governor of Slow Food USA), Maggie Galloway (co-leader of Slow Food Bluegrass) and Libby Allen (member of Slow Food Bluegrass).
"What a blessing and honor it is for me to be selected to represent Kentucky and the USA at this important international convocation of world food communities who proclaim that another world with a sustainable food system that works for all is possible and necessary. As a delegate to the Congress I am very excited about the opportunity to help shape and decide the future direction of Slow Food's global work that will continue to provide concrete and appropriately scaled solutions for some of our most vexing problems. Slow Food's Congress, Terra Madre and Salone represent the corner stones of a 21st century food Renaissance and I am thrilled to help paint the picture," said Jim Embry, 2012 Slow Food USA delegate.
This year's delegation—a group of more than 220 individuals appointed by 20 regional selection committees to represent the food and farming issues of their communities—will provide the largest and most diverse selection of U.S. food producers, chefs and activists in attendance in Slow Food history: members from 50 farming communities spanning all sectors of the food movement from labor to production to students will participate in the extraordinary event. Please visit the following hyperlinks for information on other Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto, and International Congress delegates.
In addition to his work with Slow Food, Embry is the founder and director of the Sustainable Communities Network, a non-profit organization in Lexington that provides ideas, programs and tools to inspire community members to bring about systemic change in all of the institutions that are necessary to create sustainable cities. Locally, the organization sponsors an annual Bluegrass Local Food Summit, establishes community and school gardens around the state and is a leader of the city's food justice work. Because of his selection as a USA delegate Jim was recently featured on the Kentucky Educational Television Connections and is highlighted on the Terra Madre/Salone del Gusto website.
To create local awareness and support for his trip Embry will be speaking and hosting informational dinners, photo exhibits and fundraisers at Natasha's Restaurant Oct 6, Good Foods Market & Cafe October 8, and University of Kentucky Oct 10. Other institutions, restaurants and community organizations who want to learn more about the Slow Food movement are encouraged to invite Jim Embry to speak before or after his trip to Italy.
For more information about Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto, or to schedule an interview with Embry, please contact Emily Walsh at Slow Food USA's national office.

A typical stream cipher encrypts plaintext one byte at a time, although a stream cipher may be designed to operate on one bit at a time or on units larger than a byte at a time.
A block cipher encrypts one block at a time. The block may be of size one byte or more or less. That means we can also encrypt a block of one byte by help of a stream cipher as a stream.
So what is the exact difference between a stream cipher and a block cipher?

Bullied to Death
Dr. Phil shines a spotlight on teen suicide, the Phoebe Prince tragedy and cyber bullying.
Loni Coombs speaks out about cyber bullying. Read her candid thoughts on her blog in the DrPhil.com community.
Remembering Tyler Clementi
"I never saw this coming. This was a huge shock."
The Experts Weigh In
Tyler's roommate, Dharun Ravi, and Rutgers freshman, Molly Wei, have been charged with invading his privacy. Prosecutors say that Ravi tried to webcast a second encounter the day before Clementi's suicide. Should the students face more severe charges in light of Clementi's death? Were Clementi's civil rights violated?
"Unless we stop the bystanders from standing by, we're going to be seeing a lot more of this."
Students Speaking Out
Mark Indelicato sits down with a group of LGBTQ teens to hear their thoughts about the recent deaths of gay teens and their own experiences with anti-gay bullying.
"I tried to commit suicide three times."
Eleven-year-old Riley says that other students call her "lesbian," "slut" and "man" because she is the only girl on the football team. Her mom, Tina, says she's worried because the bullying has gone on for a year and a half.
Kevin Jennings, Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education, joins Dr. Phil via satellite from Washington, D.C. He says that educators need to take a stronger stance to help prevent cyber bullying.

Mgambo Shooting's pace towards the premiership berth promotion was checked by Police Tabora during their sixth round match played at the Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro on Sunday.
The pace makers were forced to rally from behind and claim the 2-2 dramatic draw.
The Tabora cops were two goals ahead up to the end of the first half thanks to Ernest Mkandi's fifth minute opener. Mkandi released a power-packed shot that was too hot to be handled by Mgambo's custodian Kulwa Manzi.
Kenneth Masumbuko doubled the tally for the Tabora cops five minutes to the half time mark to leave leaders Mgambo progressed into the dressing rooms heads down.
Coached by former Stars player Joseph Lazaro, Mgambo Shooting reduced Police's leading margin after 58 minutes through Salum Kipaga's blockbuster.
Juma Mwinyimvua scored the all important equaliser for Mgambo seven minutes to regulation time when he made full use of Fully Maganga's cross from the left flank.
Both Mgambo and Police Morogoro have shown strong quest to cruise into the Mainland premiership berth after good performance in the ongoing intermediate league matches.
The Mgambo team was leading the pack of the nine-team league with twelve points ahead of yesterday's matches.
Both Mgambo and Police Morogoro had posted four and three victories, respectively, without conceding a loss before Sunday's matches.
However, Mgambo who have played one more game and have drawn thrice in six appearances.
Tanzania Prisons and Rhino Rangers have tied at eight-point mark after playing five and six matches, respectively.
Transit Camp is at the bottom of the nine team league with just a point in five appearances.
The team has almost lost hope of wining the premiership berth for the next season unless miracles happen.
Four teams would be promoted into the Mainland premier league berth for next season expected to kick off in August.
The teams would fill gap left by two other teams from the ongoing premiership with Moro United and Police Dodoma as likely candidates so far.
The number of teams in the top flight berth is expected to increase to 16 from the present 14.
While Police Morogoro have once featured in the premier soccer business, before bouncing back into the first division pool, Mgambo Shooting will be attempting to earn maiden appearance.

Yes, I'm talking about deductions for my SP.
Printable View
Yes, I'm talking about deductions for my SP.
I guess I do not get how you have to scramble. You are running a business, you have revenue and expenses. Probably operating OCBOA or the cash basis, correct? Not accrual accounting with receivables, payables, prepaids etc... You are operating checkbook accounting basically. Money actually received income, money actually spent is expense. Ever see cash register receipts laying on the ground for cash? Pick em up.
Seriously though, you should be keeping better accounting records it seems if you need to scramble to knock down your tax liability at year end. You keep track of your mileage for business use of a persoanl vehicle? This can mean thousands off income a year.
Yes, I keep track of mileage and expenditures and things like that, but all the money I take in (for myself, after the portion I set aside for taxes) is pretty much already spoken for when it arrives. Mileage isn't that much since I basically work remotely from all my clients. In order to have deductions, I have to spend the money first. It takes some juggling, basically, is what I'm trying to say.
Thanks Moto, but I have a great CPA who doesn't love being a complete fucking asshole to me most of the time. I do need to increase revenues and am working on that at the moment.
I also find it ironic how people on the right bitch about people who don't pay taxes, while simultaneously bitching about taxes existing in the first place. Personally, I pay my taxes and don't mind doing so, considering all the things we all use that taxes pay for.
Sounds good. I can't put my finger on it, but somehow there seems to be a dig at me. Huh. Anyway, Romney is the best man for president. Let's all just come to this reality.
You make me giggle Moto :)

Jets earn sweep of Coulee Region
Gazette staff
November 30, 2013
Robin Hoglund, Kyle Patava and the Janesville Jets' special-teamers came through to help the team to a weekend sweep of the Coulee Region Chill.
Hoglund scored a pair of third-period power-play goals, one that tied the game with 5:18 remaining and another that gave the Jets the lead with less than a minute left in a 4-3 road victory Saturday night.
Hoglund also had an assist, while Patava finished with a goal and three assists in the Jets' third victory this week.
They fell behind 3-1 after two periods but began their comeback bid early in the third.
Zach Avolio made it 3-2 with a shorthanded tally less than three minutes in, setting up Hoglund's heroics.
The Jets improved to 11-13-1 and host Soo in a home series next weekend.

Isaiah 45:7 (KJ21) 7 I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, the Lord, do all these things. Other versions tend to use words such as 'Calamity'.?

The word translated "evil" or "calamity" in Is 45:7, can (not surprisingly) mean either "evil" or "calamity". HALOT's main definitions: Of little worth, poor, not beneficial, contemptible, reprobate, malicious, injurious, evil, sinister, bringing misfortune, badly depised, ill-deposed, heavy, sullen. For "destruction", see Ez 14:21; for "evil" see Deut 17:5. Context must determine its precise meaning:
The verses before v7 show that God can create calamity. The verse after v8 emphasizes his righteousness. Thus, since the context emphasizes that God can cause calamity, and denies that God creates evil (in the moral sense), the correct translation is certainly "calamity" and not "evil".
I think it is absolutely wrong to translate רע as "calamity." From the context, and the context of similar verses, Isaiah is clearly stating that God is the Creator of ALL things, both good and evil, but it is more specifically a statement to Cyrus that God will cause darkness and evil upon the Babylonians who Cyrus will defeat.
The chapter begins "...כֹֹׁה אָמַר יהוה לִמְׁשִיחוֹ לְכוֹרֶשׁ"ׁ("So said the Lord to His anointed one, to Cyrus...") "...לְרֵד לְפָנָיו גוֹיִם..." ("...to flatten the nations before him..."). God then promises Cyrus that He will go before him to make the war easier, and Cyrus, moreover, will be rewarded with riches stashed by the enemies in hidded places that God will help him find. And God tells Cyrus that he is to fight this war for the benefit of Israel "my chosen one", which indicates that Cyrus is to destroy the Babylonians who had exiled the Jewish people. See Rashi to v. 4.
But then God goes on in verses 5-7 to explain that He is Hashem [the Holy Name], "and there is no other; besides Me there is no God".
In verse 7 -- the focus of the question -- continuing the thought from verse 6, God says He is the Lord God, there being no other god, "יוֹצֵר אוֹר" "who makes light" (Rashi says, "for the righteous"), "וּבוֹרֵא חֹשֶׁךְ" "and who creates darkness" (Rashi: for the Babylonians); "עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם" "who makes peace," "וּבוֹרֵא רָע" "and creates evil" (Rashi: for the Babylonians). As noted in the parantheticals, Rashi clearly indicates from context that God fully intends to bring darkness and evil on the Babylonians to help Cyrus help the Israelites.
But if we compare the use of the word רע where God is talking about good and evil, as He is in Isaiah 45:7, we find that רע must mean "evil."
At Deut. 30:11-20, Moses summarizes the basic expectations God has for the Jewish people. He explains that the totality of the commandments, all of which were being retaught on that day, "are not too difficult for you" and require, basically that each Jew attempt to love God, "walk in His ways," keep his "commandments, statutes and ordinances," and thereby live. The alternative is "death" although according to rabbinic tradition, "death" here means denial of eternal life after death. So Moses expalins God's message: "See, I have set before thee this day life and good and death and evil ("רְאֵה נָתַתִי לְפָנֶיךָ הַיוֹם אֶת הַחַיִים ואֶת הַטוֹב וְאֶת הַמָוֶת וְאֶת הָרָע"), and at verse 19 we are advised that of these choices, we should choose "life."
Rashi explains, at verse 15, that God put good and evil in the World because they are interdependent: "if you do good, you will be granted life, while if you do evil, you will receive death." And, by saying "you shall choose life," Rashi explains that God is "saying that 'even though you have free choice, nevertheless, I instruct you to choose the portion of life.' It is like a man who says to his son, 'Choose for yourself a fine portion of my estate,' and then directs him to the best portion, saying to him, 'This is the portion which you should choose for yourself!' And regarding this, the verse says 'The Lord is my alloted portion and my cup; You guide my destiny' (Psalm 16:5)." Or in other words, "You laid my hand upon the good lot saying, 'Take this for yourself.'"
Those who would say that רע refers to "calamity" are reluctant to say "evil" because they do not associate God with doing evil. But the fact is, many things in this world are evil depending upon one's perspective. What is good for the butcher is evil to the cow. As Rabbi Benjamin Blech notes in his book, "If God is Good, Why Is The World So Bad?" (Simcha Press, 2003), the greatest good, from God's point of view, is that His children should make correct choices with their gift of free will, and to achieve that good, God had to introduce evil.
So, רע is parallel to darkness and in opposition to peace. Both of the meanings you cite are within the range of the word. 'Evil' is closer to a plain sense, but, based on context, many kinds of badness are read. The 'calamity' notion might come from two ideas:
That word occupies about 6 columns of HALOT; it's not quite like reading the OED entry for 'dog', but it's up there. In other words, it is used a great deal across the whole range of the text, in many different contents. The result is that any translator can choose from a wide variety of nuances based on her or his intentions and options. I didn't spot a citation to this particular verse in any of the definitions on HALOT, but I don't have the luxury of a computerized copy with a search option.
