Ahead of his concerts with the LSO in November, performing the famous solo role in Berlioz's Harold in Italy, we caught up with violist Antoine Tamestit to find out about his musical background and what he's looking forward to about performing with the LSO and Valery Gergiev. Read on for the full interview, and visit lso.co.uk/berlioz to find out more about the series.
What are you most looking forward to about performing with the LSO and Valery Gergiev this November?
The LSO has a great tradition of playing Berlioz's music, partly through their unforgettable work with Sir Colin Davis. In addition to their incredible knowledge of this repertoire, they are able to perform it with beautiful colours, because of the sound quality of their strings and solo wind players.
For these concerts I am sharing the stage with Maestro Gergiev for the first time, and I'm really looking forward to working with him. Because he is such a passionate musician and performer, I can only imagine that he will fit perfectly with Berlioz, who was so avant-garde as a man and a composer. It's this combination of elements that I cannot wait to experience.
Do you like giving concerts in London?
Yes, definitely. London has such a great history of halls, concerts and classical musicians that it's always special to perform here. What I particularly love is that it brings back memories from my own time as a BBC New Generation Artist, walking the streets of the city and discovering all of its concert halls, as well as its great cultural life.
Harold in Italy is one of the most well-known works for viola, and one of your signature pieces. What do you enjoy about performing it?
Harold in Italy is one of the masterpieces of the French Romantic period. But for violists, it is also one of the most important and special pieces; you could say that it is a kind of 'must' in our repertoire. I've been playing it for more than ten years and my interpretation has evolved enormously, especially through working with different orchestras and conductors.
But what always stays in my mind is that it is a truly theatrical piece, with a clear story. The solo viola's role keeps changing: sometimes it's the main character, sometimes it's in conversation with the orchestra and sometimes it becomes a kind of commentator. I always feel the solo violist should become a real actor, ready to play different parts, and this is an aspect that I particularly relish.
Do you enjoy listening to Berlioz's music? Do you have any favourite works?
Yes, I do very much. Of course the Symphonie fantastique is a masterpiece as well but I also love the depth of The Death of Cleopatra, the different worlds of Les nuits d'été, and L'Enfance du Christ, which remains a very special, intimate and touching piece for me.
You're well known for your performances of contemporary viola repertoire. Does this require a different approach to playing something Romantic like Berlioz?
I actually don't consider myself a specialist of any repertoire. I was brought up by parents who listened to all kinds of music, from the Baroque to the contemporary, as well as popular and traditional music. Because of this, from childhood there has always been a wonderful unity in my mind in the way I approach music. I may have to adjust my technique for particular repertoire, but I find that my thinking as an artist, strongly linked to emotions, is the same whatever the music.
When did you start playing music?
For my fifth birthday, I asked for a violin as a present from my parents. I was very inspired by my father and my aunt who were both violinists, but right away I found that playing music was fun and something that I loved coming back to. When I was about ten years old I developed a taste for the sounds of the lower strings, and the switch to the viola was both immediate and definitive. I was convinced that this was MY instrument and felt connected to it almost physically.
Are you inspired by any particular pieces, composers or performers?
I am always so deeply involved in the pieces that I'm working on that they, and their composers, become my favourite for a short period of time. Recently, as I recorded my latest CD of works by the German composer Paul Hindemith, I developed an even greater interest for the man and the historical context behind his compositions. But of course, Bach, Mozart and Schubert still continue to touch my heart in a very particular and personal way.
Other performers do inspire me very much, like the ones I play with regularly: Frank Peter Zimmermann, Leonidas Kavakos, Tabea Zimmermann, the Hagen Quartet, and also those that I dream of playing with, like Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming or Daniel Barenboim … They give me ideas to think about, paths to try out, directions to follow, and inspiration to keep on working more and more.
How do you spend your time when you're not performing?
At the moment, I am so busy that the little time I have left is spent teaching at the Paris Conservatoire, which is something I'm very passionate about. However, my greatest passion of all is spending time with my family which for me is one of the warmest and most inspiring of feelings.

I more or less brushed off the trailer to "Epic" with a shrug. To me, it seemed just another digitally animated crowd pleaser with an all-over voice cast. However, the film's production art book, The Art of Epic from the artists at Blue Skies Studios, gives me hope.
When the book arrived in the mail, I peeled the cardboard away to reveal a gleaming rainbow of soft light and color emitting from the hardcover. After reading the touching foreword by director, Chris Wedge and flipping through the artwork, I was captivated. I went back and polished off the book cover to cover, carefully contemplating each illustration.
Author Tara Bennet carefully takes us through the creative process stemming from old Victorian fantasy art, which was used as the dominant inspiration for the luscious concepts unfolding on each page. Bennet unravels the magical minds of the artists and animators as they bring to beautiful life the glow of nature and its wonder.
Using generous splashes of gorgeous images, The Art of Epic breaks down the composition of each character and setting. Pencil sketches, watercolors, sculpture, and museum worthy oils compliment each mushroom, tree, and facial expression. The light off the pages is so lush that one almost feels a shadow overcast when the final cover is closed.
WIth such stunning concept art and awe inspiring talent, I have to wonder why the finished product was converted to digital style in the first place. Sure, digital animation is a beautiful art form in its own right, but what ever happened to all the moving paintings that used to be animated films? Is it too time consuming? Too expensive, perhaps? In the case of "Epic," it is, I think, the film itself that has to live up to the artwork, not the other way around.
It is worth picking up The Art of Epic if only to view the boundless creativity and beauty that went into this film, that it is not just the product of a few well edited mouse clicks. We can only hope that at least a bit of the magic comes through on screen.
PIck up The Art of Epic, from Titan Publishing, here on Amazon.com.

Frontier premium, all-natural sea salt is harvested directly from North French Atlantic coasts. Pure, unrefined sea salt is preferable to extensively processed common salt because of the sea salt's culinary qualities and the trace elements it retains from the ocean. Substitute this gourmet-quality alternative everywhere you use ordinary salt. Frontier sea salt comes in a ready-to-use fine grind and a course grind the salt yourself as you use it.
An indispensable seasoning, salt is used in virtually every recipe and--just in case the cook didn't give you enough--at virtually every table as well. Natural sea salt is sodium chloride and naturally occurring trace minerals.

White House group recommends digital form, less paperwork for presidential nominee
Tuesday - 11/13/2012, 4:03pm EST
A White House task force, charged with streamlining the onerous confirmation process for presidential appointees, took aim at duplicative forms and overly burdensome questions in its first report, issued last week to the President and key congressional committees.
The working group recommended Senate and White House leaders design a core set of common questions and develop a single electronic "smart form," similar to tax-filing software, that appointees could use to complete the necessary forms.
The group, a bipartisan collection of current and former lawmakers and government officials, was borne out of the Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law in August. The law immediately cut more than 160 positions that once required Senate confirmation. It also tasked the working group with recommending further fixes to the process.
Cutting paperwork, going digital
Presidential appointees are typically required to submit a number of forms: a questionnaire for national security positions, financial-disclosure forms from the Office of Government Ethics and then a spate of more specific queries from the White House and the relevant Senate committees.
The problem is that many of the forms contain similar — but not quite exact — questions, "requiring candidates to tailor their answers to account for small differences in questions intended to elicit more-or-less the same information," according to the report.
The group recommended developing a core set of questions, similar to the "common application," adopted by many colleges and universities. Senate committees or the White House could always supplement these core questions with additional ones, if needed.
When paired with these core questions, the development of an electronically based "smart form" would allow nominees to "answer all vetting questions one way, at a single time," the report stated.
The authors of the report said the electronic system would be similar to tax-filing software that guides users through a set of questions and automatically populates completed forms.
The group estimated design and development of such a system would take about eight to 12 months, and the "investment of time and money is eminently worthwhile."
Other recommendations included cutting back on "unnecessarily burdensome" questions in favor of more narrowly tailored queries and requiring less scrutiny for part-time positions on boards and commissions.
Immediate impact on new nominations?
Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the proposed reforms would have an immediate impact on Obama's second-term nominations.
"If the bipartisan working-group recommendations are adopted, the President's new nominees will proceed through their Senate confirmations more efficiently than others have in the past because of reduced paperwork," he said in a statement.
Streamlining paperwork won't entirely fix the problem, Lisa Brown, the working group's chair, wrote in the preface to the report. But it is a significant first step.
"While the working group can do nothing to change the political climate or turn back the information age, it can recommend significant reforms to the paperwork involved in the process to ease unnecessary burden on nominees, while more quickly providing all parties with the information they need to determine nominees' suitability for office," said Brown, who's also the acting federal chief performance officer.
The group's next report, to be focused on background investigations for appointees, is due in May.
Presidential appointees face long, winding road to confirmation

Beaverton/Tigard/Tualatin Daily Commute (via Bull Mountain)
Starting in S. Beaverton area (Scholls Ferry near Murray Hill), I commute to an 8-5, M-F job in Tualatin. I have two basic route options: either a flat route around Bull Mountain via Roy Rogers road to Sherwood/Tualatin, or over the mountain. The over-the-mountain route is safer, and has no high-speed traffic. On the other hand, its an over-the-mountain route. I'd love to have somebody to share motivation with for the top of the route! You can see the route at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1584252.
Hmmm... well, for a more flat route you could go down Scholls to the Fanno Creek Trail, down Tigard St to Main St, and then around Burnham to Hall... But I don't think it's any faster than the route you've already described.
My commute is pretty close to your commute, at least from Gaarde/121st to Durham Rd... It is kinda hilly, but at least on the way in to work it's mostly downhill! Have you tried going down 99W to 124th and Tualatin Rd? Or, go all the way down Walnut to Tiedemann, then down Tigard St to Main and all that as described above. It at least cuts out The Wall (aka Gaarde, between Walnut and 121st)... What time do you hit the road? I assume you're leaving your house around 7-ish to get to work and get cleaned up in time for an 8am start... |
You know, I really don't mind the hills since I have a shower at work. These rides are my only cardio exercise and 16-20 miles a day has helped me lose some weight over the last six months.
I leave between 6:30 and 7:00 most days. I'm an administrative law judge w/ the Oregon Office of Administrative Hearings and my schedule is as regular as clockwork: M-F, 8:00-5:00. I'm inclined to take a break on nice mornings at the wildlife refuge that connects Cook Park in Tigard with the MUP bridge over the Tualatin River. Five minutes to sip some coffee and watch the birds is a nice way to start the day. I sometimes work at home on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. That occurs more frequently in the winter when its dark out for both the morning and evening commute. I do occasionally take the Roy Rogers route. It's a bit longer (10.5 miles versus 8.5) but is 5-10 minutes faster and considerably easier if I don't push it. I don't mind doing the Fanno Creek route. I've done it a couple of times but find the Cook Park route too pleasant to give up, despite the hills. Variety is nice though. |

If Candy Ass Thomas thinks for one second that he was justified in bringing all these charges, I think his association with the Flaccid Fool is MUCH deeper than any of us imagined.
I read the charges that the crybaby brought against the judge. Entertaining to say the least. I seriously doubt Crybaby Candy graduated from Harvard Law if he cannot make a case.
I read in the June 5 edition of The Arizona Republic that the MCSO shurf and Crybaby Candy think that all the people suing (there are 7 currently) are simply looking for paydays.
Barnett Lotstein thinks that their "friends in high places" are going to pay the aggrieved parties. No Mr. Lotstein, the taxpayers are footing the bill for this stinky pile of BS.
The MCSO shurf actually tainted the Stapley/Wilcox/Donahoe "cases" by claiming that THEY were keeping the "investigations" open! Just goes to show you how we have a mentally ill old man heading the Sheriff's Office
I can't wait to see Crybaby at his perp-walk/indictment/trial. Same with the Flaccid Fool & Co.

Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MAAC Inc., the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the city of Montevideo and the engineering firm of Rodeberg and Berryman met to discuss the final details of a tentative schedule for the Chippewa River dam removal.
It was decided that the Army Corps of Engineers would throttle down the Lac qui Parle dam for six to eight weeks — except between Aug. 6 and 10 — to allow MAAC Inc. to begin work.
Work will start on the week of July 9, when MAAC Inc. will but a notch in the dam to lower the water level behind it. Then, as water levels decline, they will begin bringing in rocks to build the rapids and destroy the dam bit by bit.

REVIEW: A Most Wanted Man
It's a mostly low-key performance by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in a starring role as a German old school spy , based on the 2008 book by 50-year spy-master John Le Carre'. Poignantly, the Oscar-winning Hoffman gives one of his finest performances in this, his last finished film. It's a haunting performance, echoing his last days , but the excesses here are work and booze.
At the heart of the story is a tortured half- Chechen, half-Russian who slips into Hamburg to claim his late dad's fortune. Is he an oppressed victim or a dangerous terrorist? Le Carre keeps us guessing til the end. Like Le Carre's other films, this is the thinking person's spy movie, with almost no action til the final, explosive, heartbreaking climax . By the way, look for the author in a blink-and-you'll-miss it barroom scene.
While the pacing of the 2-hour film may be slow for some, Hoffman's performance is spellbinding. He totally embodies the German spy at war with other spy agencies. A distractingly black-haired Robin Wright plays a CIA agent. Like Hoffman, Rachel McAdams masters a German accent as a naïve lawyer fighting for asylum for the Chechen-Russian (who is played by A Russian actor who does it all with his eyes). Willem Dafoe, for once not the bad dude, is the German banker who has to decide if the i.d.-less young man can truly claim the massive inheritance.
This post- 911 spy thriller is totally believable , raising important prescient questions. It's a smart, gritty, tense and ultimately emotional film. It's one of my favorites of the year.
4 stars

Lana Violet is a pornstar of Philippine heritage, but she is American through and through culturally. She claims to really love sloppy wet blowjobs that get plenty messy, so we decided to let her prove it my putting her money where her mouth is in the newest 1000 Facials exclusive video for you! Sure enough she starts leaking fluids out of her mouth like a busted sprinkler-head and half way through this scene she had already started making a puddle of her best saliva on the floor in front of her! By the end she was begging for cum and licking her fingers clean after scooping it off her face with her sexy fingernails. Lana loves cum and when she tells you that, you can see it's genuine!

You may very well be right Bob. A few years ago I contacted Heinz's and asked them about making 6 in 1's available to retail because they were so popular with the pizzamaking community. The fact that so many people now know that the Classico's are a clone of the 6 in 1's at half the cost, probably has sealed their fate!
I have never tried classic crushed tomatoes (I usually use Sclafani). Are they worth trying to track down? I guess at $1/can they are eh?
I have never tried classic crushed tomatoes (I usually use Sclafani). Are they worth trying to track down?
I cleaned out every Wal-Mart in New Hanover County NC.10 cans....
Do you use fresh(non saute) garlic in your sauce...chopped, sliced?
I scored the last 3 cans of Classico tomatoes at a local walmart today. I still can't find Polly-O cheese there though. I'd like to try some but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Jay, you have Sorrento available, correct? That and polly-o at the retail level are pretty much the same IMO.
Bob,According to their product locator nothing within 30 miles. Yikes! I'm living in a cheese desert. I wonder if Gordon Food Service has any decent mozz. I've never checked there. I get my soup base there and it's pretty good.

The mayor's pay: Past time for a raise in Manchester
That is why charter commissioners were right last week to approve a motion to raise the mayor's pay substantially. The current salary is $68,000 a year. Veteran teachers and police officers can make more than that. The commission approved a proposal to set the salary at $107,937, an increase of almost 59 percent.
That is a huge jump, and such a big move would be better made in smaller increments. But the ending place is roughly appropriate. The mayor of the state's largest city need not be paid as much as a hospital CEO, but the pay needs to be enough to land top executive talent from the private sector. A salary in the $100,000 range would do that.
Mayor Ted Gatsas is independently wealthy (by his own hand), so the pay is not an issue for him. It would be for many others. Unlike serving in the Legislature or on a city board, being mayor is a full-time job. If the city wants executives of skill, talent and experience, it should offer a level of compensation that would not necessarily attract them, but that would not be a disincentive to them.
Public service is its own reward, to a point. People who could be making $200,000 a year in the private sector might sacrifice a few years of financial rewards to serve the people of the city. But requiring them to take a 66 percent pay cut makes it much less likely that they will.
Though we are not sold on the charter commission's method for this pay increase, a significant raise is needed, and they are right to propose one.

Print Illusion
An optical illusion is difference between reality and what the brain thinks its seeing. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a image that does not agree with a physical measurement of the source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, colour, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.

Vote for school program
Voters in Williamstown will get another opportunity to fulfill some of their community obligations by participating on May 6 in a re-vote of the proposed funding for our schools after school program known as ONWARD! This program has provided the children and young adults in our local school district opportunities that range from art classes to tutoring to Games at the Gardens where students head downtown for fun time with our towns elders.
There is a price for this vote: $40,000. This is not about an expansion of spending, but is instead a reflection of the simple reality the original grant is dropping and local money is needed to make up the difference.
I will be voting in favor of the ONWARD! funding. This program has proven itself as a valuable tool for academic improvement and as a way of growth for our youth in the realm of social responsibility. I hope you will join me.

Susanoo, also known as the Tempestuous God of Valour (勇武の荒神, Yūbu no Aragami), is the third ability granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan to those who awaken the abilities Tsukuyomi — which symbolises the "darkness of the spiritual world" and Amaterasu — which denotes the "light of the material world". It creates a gigantic, humanoid being that surrounds the user. As one of the strongest techniques granted to those that have acquired the Mangekyō Sharingan, it is the user's guardian deity, but at the same time, it consumes the user's life.[1]
According to Tobi, for a Sharingan user to activate the Susanoo is a rarity.[2] Like the other techniques granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan, the user's eyes and body are strained while using Susanoo because it consumes a large amount of their chakra. Sasuke described it as feeling pain in every cell in his body which only grew from prolonged use.[3] Susanoo is formed through the materialisation of the user's chakra and as such differs in appearance as well as colour between users. Even though it envelopes the user, they can move around within Susanoo freely and use techniques from inside of it,[4] as well as manifest parts of Susanoo — as the situation calls for it.
Despite Susanoo's impressive defensive capabilities, the protection it grants its user is not absolute. The user can be thrown out of the upper half of Susanoo by an enemy manipulating the substance underneath Susanoo. This was seen when Gaara used his sand to pull Madara out of his Susanoo.[5] Also, a sufficiently powerful attack will still result in damage, especially during the technique's developmental stages after which the user is left open for attack.[6] The only known ways to attack the user while Susanoo is active is either to draw the wielder out of the technique and then attack,[5] bind and restrict its movements, or to break the defence with overwhelming force. Susanoo users are also vulnerable to attacks which don't actually deal physical damage to it, such as strong lights and sounds, that can also impair their ability to sustain Susanoo.[7] The users are also still succeptible to such things as sound-based genjutsu.[8]
Each Susanoo goes through several different forms, which the user can switch between at will or even leave in a state between forms.[9] The development of these forms was best demonstrated while Sasuke was learning how to use the technique, gaining additional forms as his control over it increased. In its earliest form, users can only manifest some of Susanoo's skeleton. A smaller version of Susanoo's ribcage is generally produced first which, while providing a good defence, can still be fractured[10][11] or even melted.[12] An arm can also be formed, which is sometimes connected to this ribcage, and can then be used to interact with the surroundings.[13] It is also possible to utilise one of Susanoo's weapons using said arm[14][15] and change its size as needed.[16] When first forming, Susanoo manifests around the user like an aura.[17]
As users gain additional control, musculature and skin begins to appear atop of its bones, which progressively complete the full skeletal structure. It is only when Susanoo's growth is fully matured and thus, the user is completely surrounded, and the vulnerabilities of the skeletal form finally eliminated. However, it should be noted that Susanoo can also appear behind the user, instead of just surrounding them.[18] The user can also change the size of it, depending on their skill, to fit the current situation.[19] Eventually, Susanoo develops into a "complete" warrior-like form, where its skin, armour and final arsenal of weapons are manifested in their entirety. At this stage, it can anchor the user to the ground, preventing opponents from forcibly moving them unless they can get through Susanoo's various layers. In its final form, this fully humanoid shape is further surrounded by a secondary layer of armour that causes Susanoo to resemble a yamabushi.
Itachi's Version
Itachi's Susanoo is yellow in the manga,[20] while it is depicted as red in the anime.[21] Of all the known Susanoo, Itachi's looks the most humanoid. When seen in its complete form, it has a normal face with what resembles locks of hair framing it. The only oddity that Itachi's Susanoo displays is an appendage on its chin reminiscent of a Pharaoh's false beard. Itachi's Susanoo has two sets of arms, which are conjoined at the elbow; the secondary arms are manifested as required.[22] When in its final form, the armour that surrounds Itachi's Susanoo resembles a long-nosed tengu which wears a pair of magatama earrings.
In its primary left hand, Itachi's Susanoo wields the Yata Mirror, a shield which is endowed with all five nature transformations, allowing it to change its own characteristics depending on the the attack it receives, and thus, nullify it. With its right hands it wields the Sword of Totsuka. The sword is a variant of the Sword of Kusanagi, also known as the Sakegari Longsword (酒刈太刀, Sakegari no Tachi, Literally meaning: Sake Cutter Longsword), and is wielded by Susanoo's primary right hand and sheathed in a sake jar held by its second right hand. It is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anyone it pierces, and also can cut through opponents and objects like a normal blade. Victims of the sword are trapped in a genjutsu-like "world of drunken dreams" for all eternity. Zetsu said that the Sword of Totsuka combined with the Yata Mirror essentially made Itachi's Susanoo invincible.[1]
For longer-ranged attacks, Itachi is able to use the powerful Yasaka Magatama, which can be used as three chakra tomoe bound together by a single, circular thread and fired as a projectile[23] or several tomoe strung out on a chakra string, which detach themselves and fire off individually.[24] Itachi's Susanoo is also able to wield a sword resembling a curved dagger while in its incomplete form.
Sasuke's Version
Sasuke's Susanoo is blue-grey in the manga.[25] While in the anime, the colour of Sasuke's Susanoo is purple.[26] Sasuke's development of Susanoo is marked by intense feelings of hatred; whenever angered by the words or actions of his opponents, Susanoo grows in power. His Susanoo is, accordingly, noted to be much darker in composition compared to Itachi's.[27] In both its incomplete and complete forms, it has a more demonic appearance in contrast to Itachi's, which have a more "normal" human-like appearance, possessing horns, a long appendage on its chin and a malevolent grin. Much like Itachi's variation, Sasuke's Susanoo has two right arms, which are conjoined at the elbow, and one left arm, although it is also able to form a second left arm as needed.[22] In its final form, Sasuke's Susanoo is surrounded by a tengu-like layer of armour with jagged teeth around its hood, as opposed to the straight teeth of Itachi's Susanoo, and wears magatama earrings.
Since first entering its incomplete form, Sasuke's Susanoo is able to manifest a sword, which it wields in its left hand. After entering its complete form, Susanoo wields a bow in its left hand and an orb that is able to produce arrows for use with said bow in its second right hand. In its final stage, Susanoo's orb is made up of the black flames of Amaterasu,[28] which Sasuke is able to manipulate into various forms using Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, and its bow grows in size and takes on a more shield-like appearance. Sasuke's Susanoo has demonstrated the ability to wield its orb of black flames regardless of which stage it is in.[29][30]
After Sasuke gained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the layer of armour worn by Susanoo's final form changed in appearance. The mouth of the armour took on a beak-like shape, giving it an even more menacing appearance. The skin on the right arm and right hand gained additional plating, which gives the appearance of the skin peeling off, and the armour itself became more ghastly in appearance. Sasuke has since demonstrated several uses for his Susanoo's orb of black flames, including forming a blade in Susanoo's primary right hand, which can be used to stab his targets and set them ablaze,[31] and forming arrows which can be utilised with Susanoo's bow.[32] Sasuke can also produce tomoe-shaped projectiles from the orb to set his opponents on fire from a distance.[28]
Madara's Version
One of the first two amongst the Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, Madara awakened a Susanoo of his own after awakening the abilities in both of his eyes and is also able to use it while having his Rinnegan activated. It is blue in colour.[33]
Unseen in others' versions, Madara's Susanoo is able to manifest a complete body, including a lower half and legs which can emerge from the ground,[34] and possesses two entirely different sides that are conjoined along their spine, each with a distinct pair of arms and a unique face. One of these faces has elongated canine teeth in its lower jaw bracket and two tusks growing from said jaw. The other has similarly elongated canine teeth in its upper jaw bracket instead, as well as a single horn protruding from its forehead. When emerged from the ground, its feet, which have six toes each, face towards the side with the elongated lower teeth. Madara has also demonstrated the ability to float inside of Susanoo when it is fully emerged from the ground.
The right hand of each side wields an undulating blade, whereas in the anime Susanoo is capable of manifesting up to four blades, with one being wielded by each of its arms. Susanoo itself appears to be capable of contributing towards some of Madara's techniques, as it was seen forming hand seals when he drew down two meteorites.[35] It is also able to use the powerful Yasaka Magatama as a ranged attack, creating a string of magatama that Madara can fire at his opponents.[36] Madara has also shown the ability to combine this technique with the Multiple Wood Release Clone Technique to create a multitude of these ethereal warriors.
The final form of Madara's Susanoo is an enormous construct with its mouth obscured and a body similar to its full body form. The outer armour, which only remotely resembles the usual tengu-like armour with the trademark pillbox hat like adornment on the forehead, is split down the middle from the beak downwards where the normal Susanoo underneath is revealed. Along this armour, which seems much more fluid than that of other known Susanoo, are holes at the end. It also has four plated arms, two of which wield its undulating blades.[37] The blades are shown to be strong enough to block a caught Tailed Beast Ball being pushed against it by Hashirama Senju's wood golem.[38]
Once the final form's chakra is stabilised, the eye-holes that were there before become more accentuated, with lines running upwards at the side. It gains the traditional long, tengu nose, with Madara's being more angular when compared to that of Itachi or Sasuke's. The mouth is also carved out, with two lines running down to the chin area, and it wears robes, pointed shoes and body armour on its shoulders and waist. Madara's Susanoo also possesses "hair" in this form, which is tied up at the sides. Its back set of arms, which are still plated, extend upwards like wings and its front set of arms, which lose their plating, are somewhat smaller than the plated arms. The undulating blades are replaced with straight katana, which are kept sheathed inside the palms of Susanoo's back arms and wielded by its forearms. In this form, one swing of its katana is enough to destroy an entire mountain range.[39] According to Madara, the offensive power of his Susanoo is comparable to that of a tailed beast.[40] Madara has also displayed a unique use of Susanoo: equipping it onto Kurama to increase the fox's offensive and defensive capabilities while keeping it safe from Hashirama's Wood Release suppression techniques.[41]
As users gain more control over Susanoo, they are able to extend their power by forming weapons. Like Susanoo itself, the appearance and abilities of the manifested weapons vary between individuals. Additionally, as Susanoo becomes more powerful, its weapons do so as well.
All known users of Susanoo are able to manifest at least one sword for the ethereal warrior to wield. Despite their variations, each sword is extremely effective, and in the case of some users, the swords evolve along with Susanoo.
- Itachi's Susanoo wielded a blade which was curved in nature and resembled a dagger or tantō rather than a sword. Itachi also demonstrated the ability to manifest this blade while only forming his Susanoo's ribcage and arms. With it, he was able to cut through Kimimaro's bones, which were stated to be harder than tempered steel.
- Sasuke's Susanoo is capable of utilising a blade resembling a sabre, wielded by its primary left arm. Sasuke was able to use it to cut through several stone pillars with ease.[42]
- Upon reaching its final form, the composition of the chakra orb held by the secondary right arm of Sasuke's Susanoo changed to that of Amaterasu's black flames, from which Sasuke is able to forge a blade that his Susanoo's primary right arm wields.[43] This orb of black flames, as well as the blade it is used to produce, could later be wielded even in his Susanoo's previous forms.
- Madara's Susanoo possessed two distinct, undulating blades, which resembled kris. The blades were held by the right arm of both sides of his Susanoo in its incomplete and complete forms, and Madara could also materialise one while only surrounded by his Susanoo's aura.[44] In the anime, Madara could manifest swords in all four of Susanoo's arms; the blades left traces of blue fire in the ground after impacting and could unleash tremendous shock waves capable of obliterating hundreds of shinobi in a single strike.[45] When Madara's Susanoo entered its final form, the blades dramatically increased in size and were wielded by its primary right arm and primary left arm.
- When Madara stabilised his Susanoo's final form, the blades more closely resembled traditional katana, complete with sheaths. Said sheaths were held with his Susanoo's back, plated arms, while the swords themselves were held by its front arms. Madara could use these to cut through a range of mountains in the distance with a single swing.[46] The blades could also be partitioned to a Tailed Beast Ball during its formation, giving it cutting power. Madara did so to prevent Hashirama Senju from grabbing Tailed Beast Balls with his Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.[47]
In its completed state, Sasuke's Susanoo is capable of wielding an unusually shaped bow, which manifests on its left arm. In its second right hand, his Susanoo holds an orb capable of creating arrows which can be grabbed by Susanoo's front right hand and fired through the bow at such a speed that evading them is nearly impossible.[48][49] The bow can also double as a shield strong enough to withstand attacks capable of shaving away at the terrain in Susanoo's immediate vicinity.[50]
The arrows, which are seemingly made with variable thickness based on the user's discretion,[51] travel at a very high velocity and possess considerable piercing power; enough to easily breach a tree created by Wood Release.[52] Even Kakashi Hatake, a ninja noted for his speed supplemented by the Sharingan's keen perception, was unable to dodge the arrows and was instead forced to use Kamui to warp them away.[53] Only Kabuto Yakushi, while utilising the extrasensory capabilities of Sage Mode, has been able to successfully avoid one of these arrows thus far.[54]
When Sasuke's Susanoo enters its final stage, the bow gains a notable increase in size, more closely resembling a shield.[55] Upon first entering this stage, Sasuke also gained access to an orb made up of black flames, which can be manifested in any of his Susanoo's forms; Sasuke later demonstrated the ability to produce arrows made up of black flames from said orb, which can also be used with Susanoo's bow.[56]
- Similar to other Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, Susanoo was taken from Japanese mythology: Susanoo is the wild god of sea and storms, brother to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. He was born from Izanagi washing his nose. Susanoo inherited his father's sword Totsuka no Tsurugi, which Izanagi used to kill his newborn son, Kagu-Tsuchi after his birth burned his mother, Izanami, to death. After his exile for his relentless harassment of Amaterasu, Susanoo redeemed himself when he used Totsuka to slay the serpent Yamata no Orochi and obtained the Sword of Kusanagi from the monster's corpse. He later gave the acquired blade to Amaterasu as a peace offering.
- Susanoo's designs are based on Tengu (天狗), well known yokai that are associated with the ascetic practice of shugendō. In their final forms, the Susanoo are garbed in the attire of shugendō practioners, known as yamabushi, and wear hoods that resemble tengu masks, with Itachi's and Madara's appearing as long-nosed Hanataka Tengu and Sasuke's as a crow-billed Karasu Tengu. In Japanese myth, Susanoo produced the fiend Amanozako who is said to have been the progenitor of the Tengu.
- The Yata no Kagami (八咫鏡, Literally meaning: Eight Span Mirror) is one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan (三種の神器, Sanshu no Jingi), together with the Sword of Kusanagi and the Yasakani no Magatama (八尺瓊曲玉, Literally meaning: Eight Shaku Curved Jewel).
- In the anime, the final form of Sasuke's Susanoo has a few minor changes: aside from having five fingers instead of six, and having straight teeth, it was also shown wielding a gourd in the secondary right hand instead of an orb, making it look similar to Itachi's final Susanoo.
- Itachi and Sasuke's Susanoo are depicted as different colours in the anime than in the manga. In Itachi's case, his Susanoo was illustrated in the anime before being coloured in the manga.
- Prior to the completion of Sasuke's Susanoo, its completed form was glimpsed as a shadowy figure in a genjutsu that Sasuke placed C under.[57]
- Sasuke's bow-wielding form of Susanoo bears a great resemblance to Raideen the Brave, one of a number of Yoshiyuki Tomino references in the series (another being the Gundam-derived names of Kakuzu's techniques).
- Both Itachi and Sasuke's final form of Susanoo's mouth area always appear to face to the right, but the mouth area of Sasuke's new version faces to the left side instead.
- The Totsuka Sword wielded by Itachi's Susanoo is considered to be a "Sword of Kusanagi", although this has been popularly mistranslated as it being the perfect counter to the Sword of Kusanagi.
- Itachi's Susanoo carries the Sword of Totsuka in a gourd. An ethereal weapon inside a gourd could be a reference to the hyōtan-kozō, a gourd spirit from Japanese folklore.
- During the Sasuke vs. Itachi boss battle in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Susanoo doesn't appear around Itachi, but behind him. However, during his "awakening", Susanoo appears around him in a much smaller form.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Madara's Susanoo's swords are capable of spinning, giving them a drill-like ability.
- When it was first shown, Itachi's Susanoo had five fingers on its hands.[58] After that, however, instead of five, it has a total of six fingers per hand, like all other known Susanoo.[59]
- Both Itachi and Sasuke's Susanoo were illustrated earlier with only a secondary right hand. However, in chapter 579 they were both depicted as also having secondary left hands whilst in their incomplete forms.
- Members of the clan have been noted to access Susanoo without having their Mangekyō Sharingan activated.[60][61][62]

Well-rested McAllister gets start vs. Guthrie
Though the first half of the season was certainly trying for Indians right-hander Zach McAllister, who spent nearly two months either on the disabled list or in the Minors, he has begun to show signs that he's returning to his former self.
In addition to posting a 2.23 ERA across six starts at Triple-A Columbus, McAllister, 26, allowed only one run and struck out six over 5 1/3 innings against Detroit in his last outing with Cleveland. And though McAllister's numbers may not be all that overwhelming, his poise, pitch selection and fastball usage have drawn plenty of praise from his coaches.
"It's definitely very encouraging," pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. "He's pounding the zone, and he's gotten that confidence back that he kind of lacked there. He's keeping the ball down, for the most part. He's still getting some high fastballs and they're fouling them off, leading to more pitches. But he's been better."
McAllister will also have the benefit of not having pitched for a full week when the Tribe faces the Royals on Saturday. Over 16 career starts on six or more days of rest, he has a 3.09 ERA, with 71 strikeouts to 28 walks.
The Royals plan to counter with righty Jeremy Guthrie, a former Cleveland first-round Draft pick.
Guthrie has seen plenty of his old team since moving to the American League Central, though his two meetings with the Tribe in 2014 have been forgettable. The most recent one came earlier this month at Progressive Field, and it turned out to be one of his worst of the season: In four innings, he gave up six earned runs on 11 hits and two walks.
"They just hit everything," Guthrie said after that loss. "I kept the ball down, for the most part. [There were a lot] of singles -- they just kept hitting it where we weren't, and they just kept piling up."
Guthrie has been streaky for much of the season, but he has proven to be a slightly better second-half pitcher in recent years, compiling a 3.73 ERA after the All-Star break since 2012 (as opposed to a 4.83 ERA before the break).
Indians: Asdrubal could be available off bench
Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who was again out of the lineup on Friday due to lingering spasms in his lower back, is tentatively set to return to action on Sunday, said manager Terry Francona, who also noted that Cabrera could be used as a pinch-hitter on Saturday.
Cabrera has been sidelined since sustaining the injury while fielding a grounder during Monday's game in Minnesota. He has slowly ramped up his activity since Thursday, but should he not show enough progress to return on Sunday, Tuesday's series opener with Seattle would be a more likely date following Monday's off-day.
"If he's not quite ready, we have the [next] day off," Francona said prior to Friday's game. "If he plays Sunday, he's feeling good, because with Monday off, we wouldn't rush him back. We'll keep monitoring him."
Infielder Jose Ramirez, called up from Columbus earlier this week, and Mike Aviles have filled in at shortstop in Cabrera's absence.
Royals: Bullpen among "the best"
Though Kansas City's rotation has been impressive this season, the club's relief corps has also featured a number of admirable efforts.
That success was evident during Thursday night's 14-inning marathon, which saw four relievers combine to shut out the Tribe over innings 11 through 4. The group entered Friday with a collective 3.37 ERA on the season, sixth best in the AL.
Leading the way have been Wade Davis, who has a 1.03 ERA through 41 appearances, and Aaron Crow, who worked a scoreless ninth and earned his second save of the season in Friday night's win.
"I believe that we have the best bullpen in the league," Crow said. "From top to bottom, we've got seven guys out there that can get anybody out at any time."
Worth noting
• Tribe pitcher Corey Kluber took a no-decision on Thursday night despite allowing one unearned run, striking out 10 and issuing zero walks over nine innings. He is now just the fourth pitcher in the last 20 years to put up such a line and wind up with a no-decision.
• Kansas City's win over Cleveland on Thursday night was just the third time in franchise history that its pitching staff did not give up an extra-base hit over 14-plus innings.

Cashner striving to spell taxed bullpen vs. Nats
Padres ace set to square off vs. righty Roark in nation's capital
The Padres will turn to their ace, Andrew Cashner, on Saturday in the third game of a four-game series against the Nationals.
What they would like from Cashner is some quality, shut-down innings. What they'll certainly take is innings in general, as Padres' relievers have been taxed of late and could stand a long outing by a starter.
Going into Friday's game, the Padres had 16 of their first 23 games decided by two runs or fewer.
"It's been all year, the frequency but also the usage and the type of [close] games we've played in," said Padres manager Bud Black. "The bullpen has been used [a lot] in the early part of the season."
So much so that the Padres opted to option a position player -- infielder/outfielder Tommy Medica -- to Triple-A to get another arm for reinforcements, as reliever Kevin Quackenbush joined the team Friday.
In Cashner, the Padres figure to get innings. The right-hander has worked at least six innings in each of his first five starts and has pitched into the eighth inning on two occasions.
The Nationals will turn to right-hander Tanner Roark, who didn't allow a run in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels on Monday.
Los Angeles had opportunities to score against Roark in the second and third innings, but couldn't send anyone home. In the second, the Angels had the bases loaded with two outs, but starting pitcher Garrett Richards struck out to end the threat.
An inning later, Los Angeles had runners on first and second with nobody out, but Albert Pujols hit into a double play, and a flyout ended the inning.
"I felt like first-pitch strikes was the big thing for me tonight," Roark said after the game. "The sinker was working well tonight. I kept attacking."
Nationals: Better production with RISP
Going into Friday's action, the Nationals were riding a 6-for-49 stretch with runners in scoring position. But manager Matt Williams believes the offense will turn around.
"I'm happy with 49 opportunities. It comes and it goes in cycles," Williams said. "There are ebbs and flows to this game. My [hope] is that we continue to create the opportunity to drive a run in. It will happen. I'm not concerned about that."
The Nationals were able to come through on Friday against the Padres, going 7-for-17 with runners in scoring position.
Padres: More left field for Cashner?
A day after he became the first Padres pitcher in club history to appear as a position player, Cashner was still beaming.
This didn't surprise Black, who gets a daily reminder from Cashner that he's ready and willing to appear as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or, as was the case Thursday, the outfield.
"He lets me know every day that he's ready," Black said.
Cashner played in left field for one out in the 11th inning and then was replaced by Medica.
The Padres are down two position players after Medica was optioned and Seth Smith was nursing a strained right groin that he injured in left field Thursday.
Could Cashner, who is regarded as one of the top athletes on the team, make another appearance in the field? Black wouldn't rule it out.
Worth noting
• Padres outfielder Chris Denorfia continues to be a two-strike threat.

Looking for TVs?
Start shoppingVideo: LCD vs. Plasma
LCD and plasma are the two most popular TV technologies. Learn about the pros and cons of each so you can decide which one's best for you.
Plasmas are known for their smooth motion, rich colors, and impressive contrast levels. If you're considering a plasma, there are two things to keep in mind. First, they're not available in smaller screen sizes, just 42" and larger, so they're generally not a good fit for small spaces like a kitchen. Second, some plasma screens may reflect room lights. This isn't going to be a problem in many rooms, but if you have a room with a lot of lamps and windows you'll want to turn the lights down and pull the curtains.
So how do you know if a plasma is right for you? If you want a movie theater like experience in a dim or darkened room you'll appreciate plasma's fluid motion and true to life color.
As we've said, LCD TVs also offer a bright, clear picture, plus many LCDs have anti-glare screens that cut way down on room reflections, so they're good for brighter rooms. However, some LCDs don't have quite the same richness of color and deep contrast as plasma. Overall, LCDs are good all purpose TVs. They offer the widest range of sizes and look good in bright settings, so they can work well in any room, plus some top of the line LCDs give you smooth, plasma like motion.
