Workouts have been good cardio wise, but not so much on my other planned workouts. I'm about to make that better though!

There have been reports of power outages in our area due to the severe weather we have been experiencing this afternoon and evening.
For up to date reports, please visit:
GRACEVILLE – West Florida Electric Cooperative members are still experiencing many widespread and scattered power outages.
A tree is across a transmission line feeding the Chipley substation.
Approximately 2,200 people are being impacted by this outage. Crews from PowerSouth Energy Cooperative (our generation & transmission cooperative) are working to repair the damage at this time.
WFEC has been experiencing problems with its phone system, but it is now fully operational. Our automated system has a total of 16 incoming lines, but there are approximately 5,000 members currently without power.
If you call WFEC and receive a busy signal, that means all those lines are in use. Please call (800) 342-7400 back to report your outage.
West Florida Electric line crews are still working to restore all outages at this time. WFEC would like to thank all of its members for their patience and cooperation throughout restoration efforts.

Awesome - nice seeing hand drawn work like this! I'm too lazy to actually paint in watercolor, nice work.
Whenever I need a break from staring at the computer, I usually end up either grabbing my sketchbook or whatever musical instrument is closest at hand. I had a hankering to break out some drawing materials that I haven't used in a while the other day (and since this is a board for art and cartography and not recordings of sea chanties played on a ukulele or bad punk guitar), so I decided to do a map the old fashioned way.
I'm always interested in seeing how stuff like this progresses, and I figure that there are probably one or two others out there with a similar interest, so I'll be posting up the work-in-progress shots as I do it.
Here's where it stands right now. It's done on watercolor paper, since I plan on coloring it with watercolors when I'm done. The sketch was done with a plain ol' 5H pencil. I tried using one of my blue Prismacolor Copy-Nots, but it was just too light.
I'm inking over it with a crowquill pen. I'm using my favorite of all nibs, the Hunt 99 Drawing tip, which I prefer vastly over the more popular Hunt 102. (The 102 is a bit finicky for me.) The ink is Speedball Super Black.
You can see that I don't sketch in a lot of details; I usually don't when I'm inking my own drawings.
I should have the inking portion done in a few days, and I'll post up the finished b&w version before I start coloring.

Thanks all! My electricity was out most of the day, so I got a lot of work done on this one to while away the hours, and got caught up on some reading to boot! :-)
I picked up a Niji waterbrush (one of these: http://www.dickblick.com/zz051/33/ )a few weeks ago, though, that's made it a heck of a lot easier to practice with. I need to get a few more, actually, in different sizes, now that I know I like them! They're SO handy! I'd like to get one just to fill with something like a neutral gray or brown and add some washes to my ink drawings.
Great to see you here again, Butch--and that comment is underlined by me ten times more when you come bearing hand drawn maps! I can't wait to see the end result, and I hope it inspires others here (myself included) to set aside the mouse for a little while and remember how much fun it is to scratch on real-live paper!

"Keep your mind in hell, but despair not." --Saint Silouan [1866-1938]
So here's the latest. I'm really, really unhappy with how fiddly I started making the fields. I let my mind wander while I was working, and my hand just sort of went off on it's own natural tendency to render the heck out of things. Chalk it up as a learning experience, I suppose.
I don't have a good way to fix it on the original (I don't have any opaque white that won't mess up the look of the watercolors) so I'll just try to clear up some the fiddly bits in the field in Photoshop later on. I'll probably go ahead and render out the rest of the fields, though, so the original will at least have a consistent look.
What...your pen doesn't have a ctrl-Z setting??
This looks so awesome. I feel encouraged to draw some more, ever since I also tend to predraw with pencil and then ink over - but it'll take some practice before it looks like that.

reason behind the name "Shukaku"? Edit
I've learned that Shukaku apparently is a Nominative Case (A Nominative Case is A type of Pronoun or Noun, opposite of a Accusative Case, for ex. "I" is Nominative where "Me" is Accusative.). Now if this true that must mean that his name "Ichibi No Shukaku" means "I The One Tail" and his other name "Sabaku No Shukaku" means "I Of The Desert". What I want to know is if this is the correct Translation of his name or if "Shukaku" has a Homophone that I can't find that is the correct translation. the reason is because I noticed that Shukaku is the only Bijuu not known by it's tailed name (like "Kyuubi" or "Nibi") or it's Monster Name (like "Youko" or "Nekomata"). SilverSword 17:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, Shukaku isn't a nominative case. It's the nominative case. I.e. it's the Japanese term for "nominative case". However, the name of the Ichibi is indeed a homophone. While the Japanese term for "nominative case" is written as 主格, the name of the Ichibi is written as 守鶴 (Literally meaning: "guardian crane"). It comes from an old folk-tale about a tanuki, a teapot, and a priest (their exact roles differ in the various versions). --ShounenSuki 21:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- Let me see if I understand you correctly. What you said was that the Kanji that means "Gaurdian Crane" (like I said on Kyuubi, I don't have Japanese) is pronounced "Shukaku" just like the nominative case that is pronounced "Shukaku"? If so then thank you for the information. --SilverSword
- Yes. They are written differently and have different meanings, but are pronounced the same. Like the English words "two," "to," and "too". --ShounenSuki 17:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oh trust me my lessons in Japanese have MORE than taught me what Homophones are, their possibly one of my biggest complaints about the Language (that and Kanji and no spaces. Otherwise it's actually alot easier than English!) I just wanted to make sure I gotten what you said right. Thanks Again. SilverSword 23:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. They are written differently and have different meanings, but are pronounced the same. Like the English words "two," "to," and "too". --ShounenSuki 17:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Let me get this straigh. The Ichibi's name is Shukaku, is a homophone for the Japanese word for "Nominative Case", but it means "Guardian Crane", even though the Ichibi is a tanuki, not a crane. HUH?!
- As mentioned above, the name Shukaku is taken from an old Japanese folk tale, where it is the name of a priest who bought a teapot that is actually a tanuki in disguise. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 23:46, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
Shukakus Name Edit
on freedict i found that shukaku means host and guest could that possibly mean shukaks name is refering to gaara being the former host of shukaku 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:33, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
- No such meaning for the kanji, if you are going to look for a reference look for the meanings of the KANJI, not the romaji or hiragana. The romaji and hiragana are syllabic and can have many meanings, the kanji denotes the meaning of the words. 守 means "guard, protect, defend, obey", and 鶴 means "crane, stork". ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Oct 26, 2009 @ 00:56 (UTC)
Where did this come from? Edit
"Apparently, one of Shukaku's former jinchūriki was the one who inspired the Third Kazekage to create the Iron Sand technique." -- Background Section
Do we have a source of this cause it sounds fanon? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 22:56, February 11, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- it's true reread chiyo's introduction of iron sand. Simant (talk) 22:57, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Is it on an episode or in the Iron Sand article? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 22:58, February 11, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Trivia Edit
"Shukaku is the only tailed beast known to have had more than one jinchūriki and an actual name." Technically, one could argue that all of the tailed beasts have had more than one host: when they were fused as the Ten-Tailed Beast, they had a jinchuriki. Individually, the statement is true, but if you count their fusion, then...--Enoki911 (talk) 06:07, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Except that the Sage of the Six Paths isn't really considered a jinchūriki and the Ten-Tails isn't really considered a Tailed Beast. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 07:57, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
- I think that in Shukaku's case that is about the entity known as Shukaku, not something that Shukaku is part of. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:17, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
- If the Sage isn't a Jinchūriki, then why is he listed as one on the Jinchūriki page?--Enoki911 (talk) 04:58, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Because in a way, he is a jinchūriki. The Sage is in somewhat of a grey area. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 10:16, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Near-impenetrable sand defense ? Edit
I think Shield of Sands is the better one
should we change it?
The "Near-impenetrable sand defense" is too long and excessive IMHO
Actually Edit
when kyuubi was first introduced he was 'kitsune kokono tsu no o'. 9-tailed fox. and 'you ko'. mythological fox spirit. it wasn't until later on that he became Kyuubi,and when 'kyuubi' was used,from what i've seen,it was always in the personal sense. example,of speaking about someone and not something. kyuubi himself converses with the 'kyuubi' title. they act as it is his name,he acts as it is his name. thus,I conclude,it's his name and not his... species,per say.220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:09, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
- That's not entirely true, actually. Although the naming was a lot less rigid in the first chapters, none of its names were used in a way similar to personal names.
- Your kitsune kokono tsu no o is actually "this fox had nine tails" (その狐 九つの尾あり, sono kitsune - kokonotsu no o ari). It's not a name, but a description.
- In the first chapter alone, the fox was called demon fox (妖狐, yōko), monster fox (バケ狐, bakegitsune), nine-tailed demon fox (九尾の妖狐, kyūbi no yōko), nine-tailed fox (九尾狐, kyūbigitsune), and nine-tailed monster fox (九尾の化け狐/九尾のバケ狐, kyūbi no bakegitsune).
- Despite this, Kishimoto-sensei later on settled into using mostly nine-tails (九尾, kyūbi). None of these can be considered personal names in the same way Shukaku is the personal name of the One-Tails,. though. All of them are merely descriptions and systematic names. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 09:36, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
Is'nt using a wind nature with his menacing bal a unique ability?
Can we even be sure Shukaku is a Wind Release user? I mean the only Wind Jutsus he have used is Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet and his Air Bullet/Beast Ball thing. But everytimes he takes a deep breath before using them. What if he just inhaled air and mixed it with his chakra instead? Can we be sure he have Wind Release? So far the only confirmed abilties he have is his unique ability to control sand.KenjiNitari (talk) 21:10, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
- His ability was called a Wind Release, ergo he uses Wind Release. Wind Release techniques work like that sometimes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:17, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
Whats the deal with Shukaku´s origin?Edit
Ok, according to Madara, ichibi was born after the sage of six paths divided the ten tails to nine separate beasts. Its a fact, BUT in Chapter:97/p9 (anime episode - 58), Gaara said that he represents a living spirit an old priest from Suna sealed in a kettle. I guess the Gaara´s info about the tailed beast´s origins is fake, right? —This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
- It's called a legend, probably something that the people from Sunagakure came to believe. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:46, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
- In a way the ichibi is a living spirit or demon. And it probably was sealed long ago (after the sage split up the ten tails) in a kettle in Suna just like we see the hachibi being sealed in a pot in Kumo. What Gaara said wasn't so much an orgin as it was the story of how the beast came to reside in Suna and himself. --126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:59, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
Beast control - possible trivia addition Edit
In episode 205 of shippuden, Madara gives a list of jinchuuriki and the bijuu they contained, curiously Gaara can be seen, in his Post-Time skip outfit poking out of the Shukaku's head. This may mean that this is how Gaara transforms into the One Tails, even if he had a decent relationship with it, since all the other jinchuuriki shown (Yugito, and even Yagura and Killerbee, who had complete beast control) are all shown turning into the full beasts, but are not visible.
Now this may seem petty, but I believe it is worth noting as he is the only jinchuuriki physically protruding from the beast. I believe it should be noted in the trivia section —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- Everything about their relationship is already listed in Gaara's jinchūriki forms article. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:14, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
- it kinda looks like he's just standing on him--Cerez™☺ 22:40, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
The thing is though, he's the only one physically protruding from the beast in question, I believe that is worth noting, and that isnt noted in the character description —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
Picture Edit
I think that during the fight with naruto and gaara, that a picture showing shukaku head on would be more presentable Cda081799 (talk) 08:43, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
Fourth Shinobi World War Edit
When all the other beasts resealed back into their previous hosts? What happened to the Shukaku? Is it still locked up? Did Madara seal it inside of him? Are there some kind of preparations going on for him? Or was the second last host revived and turned into a host again? Or did Masashi Kishimoto forgot all about him? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 10:34, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Ichibi is probably still sealed, since Tobi didn't have any previous host to put him in. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 10:44, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
One-Tailed Tanuki? Edit
In 567, the Eight-Tails referred to Shukaku as the One-Tailed Tanuki, which closer fits the naming convention used for the other Biju. Seeing as the name Shukaku seems to be derived from from a man-made legend, would it be more accurate to rename the article and make note of it? Mohrpheus (Talk) 16:59, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
I agree, he should be called One-Tailed Tanuki like Kyubi is Nine-Tailed Demon Fox --Elveonora (talk) 17:58, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
- "Shukaku" is actually what appears to be the beast's name, not like the "Nine-Tailed Demon Fox". Before we even think of changing it though we'd require raws, the translators might have been liberal with the writing.-_Cerez365™ 18:13, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
Isn't it that only Suna started calling him Shukaku cause they thought its a corrupted priest from legend ? I dont think Tailed Beast have actual names ... that could mean that Kyubi's name might be Bob. --Elveonora (talk) 22:51, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, ShounenSuki has its name as Shukaku in his translations. Joshbl56 02:22, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- The Kyūbi's name could very well be Bob, I myself prefer "Bonqueisha" heyyyyy.--Cerez365™ 02:26, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Note that this chapter's had some pretty noticeable translation errors. For example, what is clearly a Raikari was called "Thunder Slash", and when Tobi called for the Four-Tails be unleashed, he said "Next comes the Two-Tail".--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 02:32, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Where are you reading your chapter from TheUltimate3? Joshbl56 02:40, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
He's talking about MangaStream's translation, specifically this page and this page. Skitts (talk) 02:44, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Wow, never knew Mangastream could mess it up like that... Joshbl56 02:48, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Oh you don't know the half of it... It all seemed to start recently, because I think they started using a new translator recently. Skitts (talk) 02:52, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't think any of the current scanlation houses are any better. I mean mangastream's pretty but they lose info in transition all the time and mangareader rushes their work leaving out entire speech bubbles sometimes, terrible grammar and they even scanned Utakata out of the cover this week =_= --Cerez365™ 02:57, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
I've seen others like Mangadaddy and MyMangaSpot leave out entire pages before. =/ Skitts (talk) 03:00, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Wow, that's pretty bad. I think we should stop our this topic now since we went off topic about half way up (though it was my fault...) Joshbl56 03:03, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Since it's now been revealed that the Tailed Beasts were all given names by the Sage of the Six Paths, so presumably that's the origin of Shukaku's name. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 06:00, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
The name Edit
[...]but Shukaku's given name still remains unknown. <= Isn't Shukaku the given name? Seelentau 愛議 04:47, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
- That was my understanding...---Cerez365™ 11:49, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. The Shukaku's name is based off a Suna myth about a monk turned demon. If this is the beasts actual name given to it by the Sage is unknown.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 13:29, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
Image from Ultimate Ninja Storm Edit
I'm wondering if this image could be useful in this article somewhere. Maybe it would fit somewhere in Appearance. It is from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, and it wouldn't be the first time video game art was used. Naruto's article has the image of his younger and older self together from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. Diamonddeath (talk) 04:21, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- No need to use this in appearance section as we have his full appearance as his cover image, not just the face. akz! 10:21, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
Not necessarily. The image we already have doesn't show the full body, especially the feet. In both main images (manga and anime), the lower half of Shukaku's body is hidden. This is one of the only instances that it is ever shown. That's why I thought that it could be useful as an image for the Appearance section. Diamonddeath (talk) 10:32, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- In the anime image only the foot part is missing - they are covered by bushes....but that doesn't seem to be an important part. The anime image of shukaku almost shows everything that isi important.....another image with the foot part is simply unnecessary. akz! 10:43, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
I don't know. I feel like a full body image is, if not necessary, then highly helpful. I suppose it's just a matter of preference to some degree. Diamonddeath (talk) 14:37, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone know what kind of "I" term does Shukaku use to refer itself, like 'ore', 'washi', etc? I tried looking for chapter 135 raw, but couldn't find it. KazeKitsune (talk) 20:18, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Earth Release Edit
but i thought the shukaku was an earth release.—This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- When have you seen it use Earth Release?--Cerez365™ 12:46, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
Trivia assumption Edit
"Shukaku is seen among the Tailed beasts that gave Naruto their chakra even though he was sealed away before the Fourth Shinobi World War and was never released."
For all we know the Jūbi merely saw the beasts and the Sage in Naruto symbolically. I don't see the need to jump to conclusions that it saw the Shukaku because the other bijū gave some of their chakra to Naruto.--Reliops (talk) 15:11, May 8, 2013 (UTC)Reliops
If it was symbolically, why is octopus missing?--Elveonora (talk) 15:13, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
Maybe because it already saw Gyūki in person. I don't know. It's best not assume things though.--Reliops (talk) 15:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)Reliops
- Yet you are assuming quite a bit in your own statement to Elve-san. I, too, found it sort of odd that Shukaku appeared with the Bijū who gave Naruto chakra, however, like with the Hokage Monument, it could just be that Kishimoto already forgot he didn't include Shukaku in that moment and added him into this scene. There is too many unknowns to make a mention of it. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 16:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Not to mention if he were simply sensing/imagining them within Naruto (Why would he though?) due to Naruto reminding him of Sage, why wouldn't he include Gyuuki? That's why it's more than likely their power he sees and not symbolic, not to mention a panel before he sees chakra all around Naruto--Elveonora (talk) 16:42, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I would like to point out when Tobi noted something was wrong with Naruto after he was forced to reseal all his Tailed Beasts, there was an a shadow image of nine chakra tails around Naruto. One can assume they simply mean the Nine-Tails, but it also could imply that Naruto has or had at one point the chakra of all 9 tailed beasts within him, (he had the Eight-Tails when he first fought the Nine-Tails for control, he met beasts Two through Seven and got chakra from them, and I can only assume the other tailed beasts took on some of Shukaku's chakra and then passed it on to Naruto. Kurama said transferring chakra is not hard for tailed beasts.
- However all of this is speculation so at the end of the day and unless it gets retconned out of the book version, it gets a mention.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 19:48, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
Priest Edit
Following what I've first said here, I think there is some misconception on this article as well. My volume brings as translation of Gaara's line in chapter 97, page 8:
- (Gaara): The Incarnation of Sand is known as "Shukaku"... An ancient spirit protector of the Hidden Village of Sand. It was sealed inside a sacred relic before the possession.
No mentions of priests, therefore... Abe 01:50,7/7/2013
- Abe you need to remember that what you're reading is also for better or worse a translation of the volumes. If its not coming from the raws then there's a possibility that this is also mistranslated. We can still check an see, though I think priest might also translate to spirit protector...--Cerez365™(talk) 02:18, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I believe he's aware of that. He's trying to determine which is more accurate on this point: scanlations or the Brazilian publisher's translations.
- To add another official translation to the mix, Viz's English translation (2006 printing) is as follows:
- Known as Shukaku, it was the spirit of a former Sunagakure elder that had been sealed inside a teakettle.
- ~SnapperTo 08:34, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
| 「守鶴と呼ばれ茶釜の中に封印されていた 砂隠れの老僧の生き霊だ」
"Shukaku to yobare chagama no naka ni fūinsarete ita. Sunagakure no rōsō no ikiryō da" "Called Shukaku and sealed in a tea kettle. The living spirit of an old priest of the Sand."
- Oh well ( ._.) I cannot argue against that. Hope this myth gets more clarified once the Rikudou Sennin's flashback takes place Abe 22:07,7/8/2013
Tanuki and Kitsune Edit
In the trivia section where it talks about Tanuki's rivalry with Kitsune (Japanese mythological monsters) could we add that Kurama is maybe portrayed as the Kitsune since it means foxes, and the fact that Shukaku hates Kurama so much because of how he label their strength depending on their number of tails is probably Kishimoto hinting about the japanese mythology and the two monster's rivalry..? Gerronix12 (talk) 23:09, September 5, 2013 (UTC)
Markings. Edit
"with black (dark blue in the anime) markings all over its face, body, and tail". Seeing as last weeks chapter says these are curse seal markings, should we change this statement to say this fact? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 23:03, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. You can say that they are a cursed seal pattern, but it's not necessary to say what they do. They're already mentioned and somewhat explained in the ability section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:13, December 17, 2013 (UTC)
two glaring errors Edit
two things have just appeared in front of my notice, one, despite minato being unable to seal all of kurama's chakra inside of his infant son, the chiyo sealed "one whole shukaku" inside gaara with no problem. Second, despite shukakau being said to influence its jinchuriki while they sleep, and was sealed into gaara prior to his birth, baby gaara is sleeping during his birth scene with no sign or hint of shukaku being released. Anyone wanna explain that?--Caseather (talk) 04:00, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
- 1) Shukaku's chakra levels are not as high as Kurama
- 2) Shukaku is said to influence its hosts when they sleep. What good would it be to control a baby?--TheUltimate3 (talk) 04:27, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) It all comes down to Kurama always having been described as the strongest of the nine beasts, going by tails or not. Sealing it would be more difficult. Also, there's the capabilities of each individual seal, and individual skill of each shinobi performing it, but I think we both agree that Chiyo using whatever seal isn't the same as Minato, who was taught by an Uzumaki, using Uzumaki-based seals. On the other issue, Shukaku had just been sealed. The seal would be at its strongest, and for all we know, Gaara simply was conscious but not crying. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:32, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
well his eyes were closed. --Caseather (talk) 05:53, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
- Shukaku was sleeping too along with Gaara at the time, mystery solved.--Elveonora (talk) 07:58, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
Manga only Jinchūriki? Edit
On Shukaku's list of Jinchūriki, Bunpuku is listed as (Manga only)... shouldn't this apply to Naruto as well, seeing as he is not Shukaku's Jinchūriki in the anime yet, or does the Manga only label apply to Bunpuku himself being a manga only character as of yet? Atrix471 (talk) 19:10, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
- Bunpuku is automatically tagged because he's a manga only character in his infobox. I don't think we can tag the other characters, at least in that field, in a case by case the way I think you mean. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:00, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
Unique Jinchuriki? Edit
Ok so its been shown that for Shukaku's Jinchuuriki they have no Cage-like or restrictive Sealing Jutsus within their subconscious. Instead Shukaku is seen sitting or standing behind the jinchuuriki, almost in the way that Naruto or Killer Bee are when they mastered their Bijuu. It would explain why Gaara could enter Tailed Beast Mode or Summon Shukaku's Body without losing control or dieing. He was even able to use Partial transformations right off the bat. My theory is that cuz of Shukaku's unique sealing conditions (almost similar to a Perfect Jinchuriki's), explains why Gaara went into Partial Transformations straight away, instead of using the Traditional red Chakra shroud- which usually required uncontrolled rage and a beastial mindset.--Kyle Ethan (talk) 13:39, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Killer B and the Eight-Tails also lack a cage. I'm going to assume the prisons are entirely based on the seals used. Naruto used the Eight-Trigrams seal, Kurama was in a cage. We don't know what Kushina used, the Kurama was nailed to a giant ball of chakra. In tersm of the jinchuriki forms, it really comes down to the fact that Shukaku appeared way way early in the series, probably before Kishimoto had planned out the whole tailed beasts relation thing. It wasn't until Part II was it stated that there were 9 tailed beasts if I remember correctly. Gaara didn't lose control of his body because technically the Shukaku's body wasn't it's actual body, but a construct made of sand.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:02, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Killer Bee and Gyuki lack a cage because Killer Bee became a Perfect Jin. When Naruto & Kurama made the "Perfect Jin" link, Naruto unlocked the Seal/ Cage. Thus, we can assume Killer Bee may have done same, or that those are the conditions for any Jinchuriki to do to be a "Perfect Jin" with their Bijuu (which is why Minato and Jiraiya left the key to Naruto). For Shukaku's Jinchuuriki, it shows they aren't bound by a Sealing Cage within. All we see are Sand Cones around them which probably has something to do with it but who knows. Even if Kishi hadn't planned the whole Tailed Beast relation thing earlier, things have to be tied up at this far point and he has left many clues (no matter how small) for speculations...which is where my assumptions come in.--Kyle Ethan (talk) 14:19, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is a disorder that causes occasional episodes of muscle weakness and sometimes a higher than normal level of potassium in the blood.
It is one of a group of genetic disorders that includes hypokalemic periodic paralysis and thyrotoxic periodic paralysis.
Periodic paralysis - hyperkalemic
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is congenital. This means it is present at birth. In most cases, it is passed down through families (inherited) as an autosomal dominant disorder. In other words, only one parent needs to pass the gene related to this condition on to you in order for you to be affected.
Occasionally, the condition may be the result of a genetic problem that is not inherited.
It is believed that the disorder is related to problems with the way the body controls sodium and potassium levels in cells.
Risk factors include having other family members with periodic paralysis. It affects men more often than women.
Symptoms include attacks of muscle weakness or loss of muscle movement (paralysis) that come and go. There is normal muscle strength between attacks.
Attacks usually begin in childhood. How often the attacks occur varies. Some people have several attacks a day. Attacks typically last only 1 to 2 hours, but can sometimes last as long as a day. They are usually not severe enough to need therapy. Some people have associated myotonia, in which they cannot immediately relax their muscles after use.
The weakness or paralysis:
Triggers may include:
The health care provider may suspect hyperkalemic periodic paralysis based on a family history of the disorder. Other clues to the disorder are muscle weakness symptoms that come and go with normal or high results of a potassium test.
Between attacks, a physical examination shows nothing abnormal. During and between attacks, potassium blood level can be normal or high.
During an attack, muscle reflexes are decreased or absent. And muscles go limp rather than staying stiff. Muscle groups near the body, such as the shoulders and hips, are involved more often than the arms and legs.
Tests that may be done include:
Other tests may be ordered to rule out other causes.
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent further attacks.
Attacks are seldom severe enough to require emergency treatment. But weakness can become worse with repeated attacks. So treatment to prevent the attacks should occur as soon as possible.
Glucose or other carbohydrates (sugars) given during an attack may reduce the severity of the symptoms. Calcium or diuretics (water pills) may need to be given through a vein to stop sudden attacks.
Sometimes, attacks disappear later in life on their own. But repeated attacks may lead to permanent muscle weakness.
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis responds well to treatment. Treatment may prevent, and may even reverse, progressive muscle weakness.
Call your health care provider if you have muscle weakness that comes and goes, especially you have family members who have periodic paralysis.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you faint or have difficulty breathing, speaking, or swallowing.
A medicine called acetazolamide prevents attacks in many cases. Other medicines may also be prescribed. A low potassium, high carbohydrate diet may help prevent attacks. Avoiding fasting, strenuous activity, or cold temperatures also may help.

An unidentified young Black male resident of Frogtown told photographer Wing Young Huie, "It's not just Black people. I know some Asians, and they got the mentality to kill somebody. It's like everybody got their own little 'hood."
Studying history or even modern world news portrays this 'hood, my 'hood, your 'hood as the propensity of the universal man. Witness this: John Steinbeck wrote, "When [he] thought of Chinese beauty the iron predatory faces of the Manchus came to his mind, arrogant and unyielding faces of a people who had authority by unquestioned inheritance."
Witness this: Writer Edward Hoagland knew New Yorkers who spoke of Palestinians as if they were not quite human, as are the Roma (gypsy.) "All men and all races are the children of God…one cannot exterminate Gypsies or Jews because one considered them of an inferior race." (Source: Bob Shacochis.)
Witness this: A Cuban father's daughter says his only jokes about Puerto Ricans were racist. A Lakota warns that, "Ojibway dreaded Anisinabe who drove the Sioux out." (Source: Jim Harrison.)

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – It was a fun day of fitness and fundraising around Fort Wayne at the first ever Ronald McDonald House Charity cycling event.
Over 150 riders took part, along with Ronald McDonald himself, at four different cycling distances.
The event started at Kreager Park near Taylor's Dream Playground, and cyclists rode from 15 miles to as far as 60 miles all to benefit the families of the Ronald McDonald House.
"It's healthy, it's a fun thing for families to do, and cycling has become really popular in our community. I just felt like it was really just a great thing to do in the spring and a good way to support families of the Ronald McDonald House," said Lisa Pacula, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charity.
Organizers say they were very pleased with the event in it's first year and would like to do it all over again next year.

lookin to get a set for my wife. 5' 7" 130 lbs. Medium you think?
Stephen W.
Great product
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great feel and warmth,just the wrong size (XL). Will exchange for L.
McLean S.
I'm 6'2 168lb with pretty dang skinny legs. What size do you suggest? I'm guessing medium but I typically size up in castelli... Thoughts?
Greetings - would go with a Large - as your inseam will most likely need the extra length ;)
James S
nothing fancy but get the job done
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I bought these a year ago. they have a simple design but the brushed fleece is comfortable and adds to warmth. I use them in temps from the mid-40s to 60. 5'8" 145lbs and purchased size medium
Dustin L.
Sizing question.
I am 6'2" 210 lbs. any suggestions on size? Thanks.
I'm 6'0" and the Large fits well. It goes to mid-calf. I guess I have normal sized legs and they are not too tight or loose.
Trevor J
Oh so cozy
Love these for those crisp morning rides where leg warmers would just be too much, but flying bare would be too uncomfortably chilly. These are made of a quality and cozy material, and come at a surprisingly low price for Castelli. I am 5'10 160lbs and found the medium to fit perfectly.
What size do I need? I am 5'10 150 ibs
What size do I need? I am 5'10 150 ibs
Medium should fit you spot on :)
Tom C.
I'm the same size and mediums are just right.
Excellent and great value
These are really great knee warmers. Good fit and looks, very comfortable. At this price, they're a steal. I highly recommend these.
fall riding
Fun video, but not specifically useful for evaluating these knee warmers.
marjorie loreno
my husband had knee surgery and the cold...
my husband had knee surgery and the cold really gets to his knees. Will these help or are they just for bile riders
Chris Kelly
They should work for anyone that needs to keep their Knees warm. He may have problems with them falling down because of no Lycra short holding them up.
These are perfect for cold weather rides. I don't own a pair of full length bibs, but these are warm enough for rides between 40 - 50 degree f.

i don't know if this is for anybody or just bike riders

I love the obvious hypocrasy of those who cry out for improvements in game then admit they are part of the problem. I can just imagine you in a casual arena. You would still rage quit on any given turn, but justify it with, "STFU, it costs me nothing to quit and you had nothing to gain from winning anyway..."
Where would we be without you?
What do I get for my troubles of fighting it out even when I know I will lose?
Sometimes I make a experimental file and gonna try it out for first time, and I draw super duper hard counter to it. I shrug it off and search for next opponent.
The rewards for losing doesn't justify the effort you put in. I could destroy your whole file but one last card on field and bring you down to 1 lp. I get **** for losing still cuz losing is losing and so you get only 1 exp point regardless of the fact you almost won and killed practically everything in his deck.

Flight Simulator X - Gold Edition PC User Review
2 Reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
To start off, let me specify my personal computer specs: Pentium 3.0 GHz processor, 2GB RAM and an ATI Raedeon X 850 with 256MB RAM. You might be wondering why; but this is very crucial to the observations below.
Flight Simulator X comes in 2 DVDs and is huge in terms of system requirements! It takes a solid 30 minutes to install it and once finished, there's a few minutes of waiting before the menu finally show on screen. Apparently, Microsoft has programmed a code to optimize the Flight Simulator X's settings in your computer. And after the screen has appeared there is a menu that looks like Flight Simulator 9, along with a sweeping music score straight from an Indiana Jones movie.
The Deluxe Edition includes 24 planes you can choose from. When you have chosen and your selection has loaded, you then see a cockpit. The game default places you in a virtual cockpit; however, you may still choose the 2D instrument view. The controls are rather simple, save for the frame rate. At this point, you may set your settings at medium-low. There is a chase plane view by pressing the S key – this view allows you to see outside the plane and the surroundings.
Next, you get a clearance from the Air Traffic Control to taxi into an active runway. The frame rate at this stage still isn't good. I discovered that minimizing the graphic settings can improve this issue a little, but it's still worse compared to FS9. And on this note, let me emphasize that FS9 runs on the highest settings in the PC I just described earlier, with no problem whatsoever when it comes to frame rates. This is why I still have my FS9 multiple third party add-on packs installed, to enhance several features such as weather, the cockpit, and other AI planes.
Much to my disappointment – and most likely yours, too when you get your hands on it – the so-called "new" graphics is not at all new but just the same as in FS9. There was nothing substantial that added or improved on the planes. Some changes are mostly on the effects, such as the cloud features and the water effects.
It occurred to me, though that this is probably because I have the settings in minimum; but that's the only viable option. I have noted that if I set it at Ultra-high, the game turns into a slide show presentation. The minimum setting is the only way I can play the game on the PC that I have.
But I decided not to give up on FS X – yet; and still give it a chance. I went off to try missions. There are more than 50 missions in the game which includes rescue missions and cargo runs. Twenty of the 50 are beginner missions, 14 intermediate, 10 advanced and 7 for experts. The missions sound fun. And there are unique challenges that make the most seasoned pilot sweat. I have to warn you, when doing the missions, the frame rate still interferes.
So here's the verdict for FS X. If you have a PC that is only at par with what I have described earlier, this is not a recommended game for you. The frame rate is going to be a real problem; and expect the graphics to be dull. I would recommend that you try FS 9: A Century of Flight, instead. For those who have high end PCs, however, install the game and play to your hearts' content. The game's strength lies on its mission and on the graphics when in ultra high settings.

Ever since Microsoft made the first Flight Simulator for the PC, the game has been a hit. ThereÂ's just something about flying a plane from the comfort of your computer that always makes for an exciting experience. Microsoft is no new-comer in the flight simulator genre theyÂ've been at it for a long time and each flight simulator that has come off the line has brought with it continually improving graphics, more polished controls, and new spectacular planes and environments. Flight Simulator X has a little bit of everything it seems. From flying as a NASA test pilot to flying through blizzards, this game has it all. Every generation of Flight Simulators that Microsoft has produced never fail to impress and Flight Simulator X Gold Edition continues on this trend.
There is a host of new features that can only be found in Flight Simulator X. There are several new modes including a racing mode for multi-player and the new air traffic controller mode. There are 71 new structured missions where the user can earn rewards for accomplishing goals. The game includes six new scenery maps, one of which is an intense Red Bull Air Race course.
Not only have the graphics been obviously improved but this game uses a new Earth model facilitating polar lights and region-specific textures. The player will be flying over roads that actually exist because the game uses true road data. Airports in game now feature jet ways that will move to the aircraft and there are several vehicles that will approach the playerÂ's aircraft like baggage cars and fuel trucks. The GPS in the game has been upgraded and includes the Garmin G1000 integrated glass cockpit.
Multiplayer has been improved and features Shared Skies which allows users to share a cockpit simultaneously. You can now fly higher than ever before in this game because the maximum altitude has increased to 100,000,000 ft. One of the features of Flight Simulator X is the ability to fly as a NASA test pilot. If that doesn't satisfy the player, they can go to the oceans and perform search and rescue on an ocean liner or attempt to navigate through a whiteout blizzard in harsh environments.
There are 23 different types of aircraft to pilot in this new edition. Nearly every imaginable aerial vehicle can be found in this game, everything from helicopters to sea planes and even gliders. Hours of fun can be had just by switching between the vast assortments of different vehicles.
With all of these new features, Flight Simulator X achieves a new level of reality that has never been attained by any of its predecessors. The only downside to Flight Simulator X is the system requirements. Such intense graphics come with a high demand for system performance. You will need a very powerful machine to run this spectacular game. You will need a 2 GHz equivalent or faster processor, 1 GB of memory and a whopping 32 GB of hard disk space for installation.

Nomads are vampires or human/vampire hybrids who wander the world on their own or with a single partner, without generally being affiliated to a coven; certain covens can also be termed nomadic, without claiming a specific territory of their own. Most, if not all, nomads drink human blood.
There are few nomadic vampires in Twilight, as the novel serves mostly as an introduction to vampires and their culture. However, what action there is involving nomads is crucial to Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. James' coven, consisting of himself, Victoria, and Laurent, shows up while the Cullens are playing baseball, and James immediately begins hunting Bella — partially because of the way that Edward defends her, and partially because her blood smells very tempting to any vampire, despite the particular potency that it holds for Edward. James tracks Bella to Phoenix, Arizona, but is killed by Emmett and Jasper before he can kill Bella.American nomads Peter, his mate Charlotte, Mary, and Randall are American nomads. Peter is Jasper's good friend, and helped Jasper escape his previous life as a general of newborn vampires. Though he feeds on human blood, he does not agree with the execution of newborns after they have outlived their usefulness. In the past, Jasper lived with Peter and Charlotte, but chose to leave because of his ability to sense his human prey's emotions. All four of these nomads join the Cullens as witnesses in Breaking Dawn. In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II, Peter is set to be portrayed by Erik Odom, Charlotte by Valorie Curry, Mary by Toni Trucks and Randall by Bill Tangradi.
New Moon
Victoria shows up again in New Moon after Edward leaves, planning to kill Bella in retaliation of James' death at the Cullens' hands. Laurent also comes back and is subsequently killed by the werewolves, although he is not a nomad by that point as he has joined Tanya's coven in Denali, Alaska.
Breaking Dawn
Breaking Dawn has the most interaction with nomads, as many vampires come from all over the world to testify for the Cullens that Renesmee is not an immortal child but a vampire-human hybrid. The nomads who side with the Cullens include Peter, Charlotte, Garrett, Randall, Mary, Huilen and her hybrid nephew, Nahuel; among the nomads who accompany the Volturi to Forks are Makenna and Charles.
In the movie Breaking Dawn - Part 2, a Japanese nomad Toshiro is briefly included.

Surgery Overview
A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils. The adenoids may or may not be removed at the same time. Adenoidectomy is not discussed in this topic.
A general anesthetic is always used to sedate a child having a tonsillectomy. Adults may need only a local anesthetic to numb the throat.
What To Expect After Surgery
The surgery may be done as outpatient surgery or, sometimes, during an overnight hospital stay.
A very sore throat usually follows a tonsillectomy and may last for several days. This may affect the sound and volume of the person's voice and his or her ability to eat and drink. The person may also have bad-smelling breath for a few days after surgery. There is a very small risk of bleeding after surgery.
A child having a tonsillectomy may feel "out of sorts" for a period of a week to 10 days. But if the child is feeling well enough, there is no need to restrict his or her activity or to keep the child at home after the first few days.
Why It Is Done
A tonsillectomy may be done in the following cases:
- A person has ongoing or recurring episodes of tonsillitis.
- A person has recurring episodes of strep throat in 1 year despite antibiotic treatment.
- Abscesses of the tonsils do not respond to drainage. Or an abscess is present in addition to other signs that point to a tonsillectomy.
- A persistent foul odor or taste in the mouth is caused by tonsillitis and does not respond to antibiotic treatment.
- A biopsy is needed to evaluate a suspected tumor of the tonsil.
- Especially in children, the tonsils are so large they affect nighttime breathing, called sleep apnea.
Large tonsils are not a reason to have a tonsillectomy unless they are causing one of the above problems or they are blocking the upper airway, which may cause sleep apnea or problems with eating.
How Well It Works
Children whose tonsils are removed for recurrent throat infections may have fewer and less severe strep throat infections for at least 2 years. But over time many children who do not have surgery also have fewer throat infections.1
Adults who have their tonsils removed after repeated strep throat infections don't get as many new infections as adults who do not have the surgery. And adults who had the surgery also don't get sore throats as often.2
Normal or expected risks of tonsillectomy include some bleeding after surgery. This is common, especially when the healed scab over the cut area falls off.
Less common or rare risks include:
- Breathing problems related to surgery.
- More serious bleeding.
- Anesthetic complications.
- Death after surgery (very rare).
What To Think About
When you are trying to decide whether to have the tonsils removed, you might want to think about:
- How much time a child is missing from school because of throat infections.
- How much stress and inconvenience the illness has on the family.
The risks of surgery must also be weighed against the risks of leaving the tonsils in. In some cases of persistent strep throat infections, especially if there are other complications, surgery may be the best choice.
Some people think that removing the tonsils may hurt the body's immune system, but research does not support this.
