Is there any reason why you have unconditionally removed very valid redirects for the old titles? That's a very great way to annoy editors and cause people to recreate pages, especially as now a lot of links off-wiki are now probably broken. I understand the removal of talkpage redirects, but not those of alternate title redirects. Please restore them, they should be left for legacy reasons and redirected to the new titles. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 12:16, December 13, 2014 (UTC)
- Even if that were the case, there is no reason to delete redirects, they contribute no additional space to the database. It's better to simply repoint them to the intended target. The only case where a redirect should be removed is in the case of files, templates, userpages/user talkpages and orphaned talkpage redirects, but mainspace redirects should be left as mentioned previously. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 19:17, December 13, 2014 (UTC)
Snapper2, please stop changing the chapter numbers for Fated Battle Between Brothers and Pain's Assault (Arc), the databook information for the arcs have been revised. Please go here for more information: User:WindStar7125/Sandbox. Do not reply to this message. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 18:50, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- You can draw as many conclusions as you wish, but the fourth databook revised the arc information and the wiki is taking steps to correct the information we already stated. Therefore, your information is now wrong.
- Please do not revert war, you should know better as a sysop to actually use a talkpage and make your case as to why you think you are right. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 18:55, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- Hurling abuse at editors? Do you want to lose your sysop flag? It would take me no time at all to make a thread for community consensus on you losing your sysop flag.
- Also, can you stop being a hypocrite? You told everyone to use a bot to fix links, yet you are mass editing yourself. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 19:02, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- Shoot, I made a crucial mistake. Fated Battle Between Brothers ends at volume 44, meaning chapter 412. Pain's Assault (Arc) starts at volume 45, meaning 413. Snapper2 is correct. Please, Snapper2, I'm so sorry about that. I take full responsibility for misleading SuperSajuuk. ~•WS7125[Mod] 19:05, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
Snapper2, I'm terribly sorry for making that mistake and causing you to get into it with SuperSajuuk. If this is anyone's fault, it's mine. He was misled by MY mistake. ~•WS7125[Mod] 19:12, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
Mass editing
Umm... Snapper? I was under the impression you'd rather use bots than mass editing. And you almost blocked Sajuuk for doing so. Can you please explain to me what you're doing by mass editing yourself? ~•WS7125[Mod] 19:19, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- You there? ~•WS7125[Mod] 19:29, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- I don't want to sound too critical of you then, but why do you push for bots to be used for links when users can just utilize "Whatlinkshere" and manually edits links like you and Sajuuk are doing? ~•WS7125[Mod] 19:41, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, OK then. :) It was just strange to me how you were going to block Sajuuk a month ago for mass editing and not using a bot, then you mass edited yourself just now (In fact, I also did some mass editing myself on Dec 5...) But okay then, I'll leave it alone. ^_^ Again, sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. ~•WS7125[Mod] 20:06, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Uh, Snapper? The user you blocked, named MuhammadSarutobi, is at it again with the sockpuppetry. After creating two accounts, he's created a third one. He's not stopping. I've talked to him though. And he's indicated he's not going to stop. Not sure what to do, so I ask this instead: may you please talk to him or something? Maybe he'll listen to a sysop.

Hey Snapper2, im not sure who to ask but considering your a sysop and very knowledgeable, do you know how reliable the subs are on CR? I'm only asking this because this wiki sends people to watch their episodes from our episode infoboxs, so i presume their reliable? Im bringing this up because their subs say Kinkaku killed Tobirama and im wanting to know if they subbed it wrong or if the dialog is changed from what is said in the manga. Thanks --Sarutobii2 (talk) 15:10, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing things up. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 18:58, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
Why do you keep changing the ages? Yamato was placed as 26 in the third databook but that was by the event of the Itachi Pursuit Mission. Kotetsu turned 29. Izumo's birthday was in November thus meaning he didn't turn another year older unlike his partner. Naruto turned 17 by the end of Shippūden but the month only followed in October possibly a few days later but not into November. --Rai 水 (talk) 20:56, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
However, Kotetsu's birthday passed in July. Meaning he turned of age 29. His partner would still be 28 since his birthday didn't come yet following the end of the war in Chapter 699. Approximately a year and a half has passed in since the start of Shippūden. Kotetsu would count in the age movement considering his birthday and when the series of Shippūden stopped. As for Yamato, in the third databook he was stated to be 26 but that was following the events of the Itachi Pursuit Mission. Before such events, he would be 25. By the time of the Hidan and Kakuzu Arc, at least half of the year passed. Genma was debuted earlier, at least in the anime and half year later he turned 33, and a year later, 34. Despite Kishi not stating some ages we can make analogies because he messes up a whole lot.
P.S. I'm creating a timeline of my own, hopefully to give a good representation of the events. I know Tau has one but I'll do one for my sake. All in all, I've made good analysis in the time periods and can be very certain of these people's ages, honestly. --Rai 水 (talk) 07:57, December 19, 2014 (UTC)
We are nit correcting the databook, we are updating. So if a character was shown in Part 1, given age 13 even in the databooks, shows up three years later with no age in the databook then do we just ignore it? No, we place what info needs to be placed. Databooks are suppose be helpful with info but no offense to Kishi but he contradicts alot of crap. If you are aware if Naruto's timeline you'd understand. Naruto left in January before the 17th before Gaara turned 14. Two and a half years, meaning Naruto returned in July. Almost 2 years have past since the start of Shippūden. Naruto turned 16 then 17th of October 10th. Kotetsu was 25 when Naruto left and his birthday is in July. Do the math. Kotetsu would have turned 29 by the end of Shippūden. --Rai 水 (talk) 08:07, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Sasuke image
1) Merry Christmas SnapperTwo. 2) Thanks for that SnapperTwo. I couldn't find a good image of Sasuke during his battle with Itachi anywhere. So you'll delete it when I put the deletion tag on it, correct? :P Also, would you mind me uploading this image of Sasuke in his Akatsuki attire? It's an unedited video game image like the rest.
~•WS7125[Mod] 01:42, December 26, 2014 (UTC)
I don't care what the wiki uses, this goes against our naming policy for anime episodes. Crunchyroll, Wikipedia and the OFFICIAL DVD's use "Bee". You using "B" is breaking the naming standards and being inconsistent, not to mention the redirect you have for the REAL title goes to the wrong fucking page. Stop creating double standards. You will not go against the naming standards which we have for anime episodes. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 13:45, December 28, 2014 (UTC)
SnapperTwo, are there any use for redirect pages such as Sakura Uchiha and Hinata Uzumaki? Shouldn't they be deleted or something? They were never stated.
~•WS7125[Mod] 23:54, December 30, 2014 (UTC)
- They should be left. The redirects were created to stop people constantly moving Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga to those titles. Tagging them for deletion will simply cause us problems. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 11:30, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Well, "Hinata Uzumaki" was already deleted, so...
~•WS7125[Mod] 19:00, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
- It was deleted because Elveonora was reverting movepage vandalism and suppressed the redirect. That technically doesn't count, I've recreated the redirect there to stop further potential "vandalism" and page creations at that title. :P --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 19:20, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
- I guess nothing is stopping you from removing the deletion tag I put on "Sakura Uchiha" then.

- The pages are all move-protected, so don't keep the redirects on that account. ~SnapperTo 19:15, January 1, 2015 (UTC)
- There's a chance the redirect titles will be searched for, so it's better to keep them. Plus, if there was no article at the title they're expecting, it's a possibility a page may be created there in error. The redirects -- imo -- prevent the creation of duplicate articles and cover alternate titles. --Sajuuk [Mod] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 20:00, January 1, 2015 (UTC)

re: intro
Okay then, just trying to help out. You being a sysop wasn't my only reasoning though. Like I told him (twice already), in Naruto's article, we do not refer to the fox by its name until it is revealed in Part II, just like we don't refer to Tobi as "Obito" until the time period he is revealed Part II in various articles, all due to spoilers (told him this twice). Keeping the consistency and lowering spoilers was my complete reasoning besides keeping what you had. But I'll do as you say and omit that part next time, SnapperTwo.

Cumbersome articles
Okay. I do agree with your notion on simplifying a couple things in articles, but I am beginning to get the sense that, in terms of pictures, we're overdoing it a bit. Some articles are just being plain stuffed with photos from the manga. I've decided to remove some. Thoughts?
~•WS7125[Mod] 00:56, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
- Picture-per-paragraph policy? I see. Is there a link to that? As a response to your suggestion: So you're saying that to possibly reduce the number of photos in very long articles like Naruto's or Sasuke's, we should be as brief and concise as possible with words and such?
- --WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 23:42, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Understandable. And you are correct, people have added some images back. Thank you for the advice. --WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 00:10, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
- I have noticed that in Naruto's, Sasuke's, and Kakashi's articles, the anime-only arcs are omitted to further shorten the article. Would it be valid to do perform the same action to Sakura's article, considering hers is the fourth longest page on this wikia?
- It is also interesting to note that some anime-only arcs in her article are already omitted, and some are still there.

SnapperTwo, I have noticed that in Naruto and Sasuke's articles, summaries that potentially lead to anime-only arcs have been removed. For instance, this in Naruto's article and this in Sasuke's (which is understandable). To further thin articles like these (such as Kakashi's, Sakura's, etc), would it not be valid to remove any paragraphs that sequentially start out with "In the anime, this happened" (was unsure when the user did so in the link, therefore I restored it) and/or attempt to leave links to them (if possible) to keep the consistency and further thin these articles? -- WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 23:45, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
- I see your point then. I just happened to notice that anime-only arcs in Naruto and Sasuke's article have long been removed though.... and technically, it is all documented in the articles that are linked to, so it is not totally gone... but I understand where you are coming from. -- WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 00:11, January 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Oh. That was the reason? Well then... we will find another way to shorten the long articles. Any more suggestions?

re: redirects
Redirects left over from file moves need to be blanked or they mess with file usage and a load of other things. I've done it before and never had anyone complain, so no reason why I need to be told this. You deleted the redirect anyway, so no idea why you needed to message me at all. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:42, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
- Using the example of the redirect you were talking about, the file showed up as being linked on the page of the redirect. That means Special:UnusedFiles won't record it because it's "used".
- And there is no reason to go look up what was on the page before replacement, I gave a very obvious reason what the page content was. Or is stating "redirect left from file move" not blatantly obvious it's a redirect? o.O
- File moves should generally be performed by rollbacks so that they can suppress the redirect and use an updating script to quickly update the links without needing a redirect. While users can move files, they cannot suppress redirects which causes problems. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:59, February 2, 2015 (UTC)

Despite you telling Munchvtec to stop editing old discussions, he still continues to edit old discussions. I ask that you step in and deal with the situation, especially as he seems to believe that two warnings by other editors does not constitute a reason for him to stop making these edits. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 15:22, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
- I haven't had much time to look at all edits, these were the ones which I noticed and found annoying. Like you may have seen with Kunoichi, he is simply inventing a reason to contribute, especially as I also asked him quite firmly to stop making these kind of edits. I am pretty sure you did ask him not to edit any comments, but that may have been a different sysop though.
- However, I ask that you still step in and ask him to simply stop inventing reasons to contribute. If he doesn't have anything to contribute, inventing jobs that are un-needed and unimportant (to quote your message to Kunoichi101 when you blocked her for 3 days) isn't a suitable alternative. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:22, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
The contributions of this user do not warrant an infinite block for no reason. They were minor vandalism that only justified a 3 day block.

re: Kunoichi101
These kind of warnings are utterly meaningless to her. She just ignores them, I really don't know why she hasn't yet been infinite blocked for literally ignoring every single request possible. I'm pretty sure she has been told loads of times to use the preview button, but she won't listen as she's more interested in doing edits "just in case", which is a lame reason. So yeah, I think you should just infinite block her and the wiki can be done with her annoying edits. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 17:39, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Since you seem to be the most active sysop to edit, I'll ask my question here. You might have noticed I've been uploading images of techniques from Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. Filling out the upload form is a somewhat tedious task. It's fine if the image to be uploaded is one, but when more than one images with the same description are to be uploaded, it's a bit annoying to use the upload page. I would use the multipleUpload page, but it seems to be broken, in the sense that I'm not able to select any images to upload. I know this might as well be a bug within Wikia, but since this wiki is customized heavily, I thought of asking before filing in a bug report. Cheers, -- sqm 19:04, 04.05.2015

Every time you show up, the thread is derailed into irrelevancy, which resulted in a user asking an unnecessary question about something that had NOTHING to do with the topic at hand: ask yourself why that is. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 22:35, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
- There is no chance that the forummod flag will become viral (I'm not having forum mods going around giving those tools to any random user they want without discussions), but I have asked UltimateSupreme if he can contact Wikia about making forum ops being able to grant (but not revoke) the flag: this way, forum ops can grant the tools (after an obvious discussion) but sysops will still be able to grant/revoke the flags as per normal.
- I suspect that will cause issues and cause people to complain anyway, but I really don't know why you are treating the flag itself like it has more tools: the forummod flag actually has lesser tools than the forumadmin flag, and the proposal is intended to grant some users the forummod flag, not forumadmin, which is where I think your confusion lies.
- Furthermore, you wrongly assumed that the promotions would be discussed in private and that sysops would not be involved. That was not the intention. Like I explained to you later (which you conveniently chose to completely ignore) in the thread, the intention was to talk with the candidates about their high support, then me and WindStar would form the list of users who had accepted and then pass the list to a sysop for them to grant the rights.
- But instead, you were more interested about persistently whining in the thread and ignoring repeated requests to use my talkpage. I'll be later removing those posts so people are not distracted or intimidated by the pointless side chatter that wasn't necessary, which you could have avoided if you actually used my talkpage in the first place.
- There's nothing to change and I'll ask that you not go in and make any edits to the post as you please. If I want to correct it, I will do so later, not because I am "forced", and I don't think making indirect "demands" by suggesting that you won't "stop talking about it until I do as you ask" will get me to do anything quicker either. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 23:02, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
Hey. Since you have blocked Kunoichi101 in the past about her edit practices, I'd like to request you to keep an eye on every edit she makes. I (and probably many on this wiki) have really had enough of her inability to listen to other editors. So if she continues to make unimportant edits or makes many edits in a row without using preview, please step in. I have messaged a few other sysops about this issue, so they'll also be watching. Thank you. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 20:14, April 13, 2015 (UTC)
- It only took 30 seconds for Kunoichi101 to basically disregard my entire warning. So you are perfectly free to go ahead and infinite block the user. I have had enough and this wiki has probably had enough patience for her. She doesn't contribute and even admitted she has no clue how to contribute here. So yeah, infinite block. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 21:38, April 13, 2015 (UTC)
RE:In the anime
I have ADHD so I need you to elaborate. You were talking about the Eight Trigrams sealing style right? If that's the case I will cease. Also, about my trivia activity on difference between anime/manga is that okay or no? I messaged someone else but didn't get a reply back.Cloudtheavenger (talk) 23:48, April 13, 2015 (UTC)
- Alright appreciate the input. Just an FYI there's two types of ADHD, inattentive which makes you unaware of your actions and impulsive which makes you impulsive and sadly I have both so just bare with me. :PCloudtheavenger (talk) 03:09, April 14, 2015 (UTC)

re: novels
Of course, I am aware of that. It's hard to distinguish between, but, even though they're mentioned, it's still a debut, but a "(mentioned)" next to it would be nice. I'll go around fixing that :) And that's for your work, hope I don't bother you in any way, and if I am, tell me and I'll stop xD--Omojuze (talk) 17:28, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Well, a "mention" in a way is a debut as the novel makes clear of the characters/techniques existance.--Omojuze (talk) 17:34, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Ok. Agreed. But what to do in the case of Mui, whose technique and occupation was mentioned alongside him. And what to do with other such cases in the future, like with Danzō?--Omojuze (talk) 17:43, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Hey. I just noticed that you re-added Mui and his technique's "appearance" as mentioned with your reasoning being smw media filtering. If that's the case, we might as well add other mentioned techniques (like Shapeshifting Technique) and characters (like Orochimaru) in that case or remove them all-together and note in the trivia of their mentions.--Omojuze (talk) 08:19, May 14, 2015 (UTC)

Chapters template
Hi Snapper-sama, since we'll get the new mini-series in the next week. I think it's better to create a new template/form for those chapters that are different from the ordinary chapters that we have. The users will tend to create those chapters articles when they'll be out but also the user will face something wrong for creating them with the old form. So your thoughts? —Shakhmoot (Talk) 22:11, April 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I didn't think it with that way, perhaps you're right. We can reset the numbering set for the mini-series case. As known in the episode template, the original anime and Shippūden are distinguished with check option. So you can add that option for the chapter template if possible. —Shakhmoot (Talk) 18:23, April 17, 2015 (UTC)
novel content
Since you did so much for the novels to be here, I thought to ask you directly. Do we add the novel's content to the main articles, for example under "abilities"? I started reading the Kakashi Hiden and right in the first chapter, Naruto uses the Shadow Clone Technique with just one hand. Do we add stuff like this to the respective articles? Norleon (talk) 09:24, April 17, 2015 (UTC)

Novel Debuts
A certain user continues to revert novel debuts for specific characters in their infobox's, claiming that they really debuted in "Naruto: Innocent Heart, Demonic Blood"....is that really true? I don't feel like getting into a revert war.--Minamoto15 (talk) 22:56, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
- Two of the characters' I'm referencing are Kakashi & Sasuke--Minamoto15 (talk) 23:03, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
- That user is Kunoichi101. ★WindStar7125 23:24, April 20, 2015 (UTC)
- I'm really sure it's true, the first novel based on the Land of Waves arc is Team Kakashi's debut. Kunoichi101 (talk) 01:30, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
- This would be an example of taking the word "debut" too literally. Do Sasuke and others appear in the Land of Waves novel? Yes. Does that mean it needs to be listed in their infoboxes? Not necessarily.
- We don't have an article for that book, we won't have an article for that book, so for sanity's sake just pretend it doesn't exist. ~SnapperTo 03:33, April 21, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Summaries
Sorry about that. Truth be told, I haven't actually read the novels and have no idea where I can. I was simply trying to use the information already accessible and use the information prominent to the actual character.—Steveo920 (Talk) 13:14, April 25, 2015
Techniques not appearing
Hey Snapper, There seems to be an issue with this as it concerns appearing in the previous Raikage's infobox. Same with the other Raikage as well. No matter how much I null edit it won't appear. I noticed the same problem in regards to Suiren (Genin) and Sensing Technique & Senbon Shower. Is there a fix?
EDIT: Damn mobile phone. Sorry about your talk page.--Minamoto15 (talk) 10:23, April 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Snapper, I saw your edit to the missing-nin article and it got me thinking. Since Sasuke became a missing-nin, but wasn't pursued by Tsunade as a favor to Naruto, why wasn't Sasuke listed as S-rank when Danzō revoked Tsunade's order to have him executed? Is it because Sasuke never commited crimes against the village? Also, is there a fix for this when it comes to the 1st three Raikage?--Minamoto15 (talk) 20:50, May 6, 2015 (UTC)
I remember you saying here that you believe that it's best that a wiki does not make declarations on what is canon and what isn't. Any particular explanation why? What exactly would the problem be if a wiki states what is canon and what is non-canon? ★WindStar7125 04:13, May 11, 2015 (UTC)

Hey there Snapper2! I just wanted to let you know that, during my excursions on the wiki, I found {{TempBlock}}. This template seems to be quite a nice way of displaying that the user is blocked, so when blocking a user, use this template on their talkpage. You can add your own personal message below the template if you feel it necessary. Thanks! :) --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:00, May 14, 2015 (UTC)

Playable character formatting
Wouldn't be better if the lists were laid out like this:
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Part I (One-Tailed Form)
- Part II (Four-Tailed Form)
- Sage Mode (Six-Tailed Form)
- Five Kage Summit (Nine-Tails Chakra Mode)
- Shinobi World War (Nine-Tails Chakra Mode)
- Tailed Beast Chakra Mode (Kurama Mode)
- Six Paths Sage Mode
- The Last
instead of just listing in a table with one character who has multiple slots and all their awakenings and not the variants listed? Would be more understanding for the wiki viewers. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 18:41, May 18, 2015 (UTC)
re: "untrue"
If these are untrue, then explain why many of the character articles don't include descriptions of the character's involvement in anime only arcs, excluding characters who only appear in a specific arc? --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 21:18, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
- Personally, I think cutting out the descriptions of what characters do in fillers helps to keep articles short. You yourself are a proponent for short articles and simply leaving a link to the arc page for fillers is easier. Like what should be done for a character's appearance in a movie, since it cuts down on length. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 12:50, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
- I don't agree with that, and here's why.
- In the case of the Six Paths of Pain appearing in the Six-Tails Unleashed arc, their appearance does not warrant any descriptive information at all as their appearance accumulates about 10 seconds screentime, if that. A majority of canon characters who appear in filler arcs are the same, unless they're the main characters or the main allies/antagonists of the story line.
- So for the most part, removing descriptions from characters who don't exclusively appear in a filler arc under the appropriate heading on their page is a good way to making articles shorter and I disagree strongly that it makes people "lazy". If anything, it's an indication we're only writing descriptions for characters with a substantial appearance in a filler.
- The above holds true for a character's appearance in movies. I removed about 1k of information from the Naruto page simply by converting all the headings for his appearance in movies to just use the {{Main}} template, since it is obvious that Naruto is in every movie.
- This should not be done in the instances of characters who have exclusively appeared in a filler arc only, since that is necessary to state.
- I would encourage you not to just quote yourself to justify a question, rather I would encourage you to quote others who have said similar things. Quoting yourself makes your argument seem weak and only based on personal opinion, rather than the opinion of the wiki as a whole. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:10, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
I'm quoting myself because a) you are asking my reasons, and b) I have previously given my reasons. My reasons have not changed between then and now, so I freely recycle them.
- That may be true, but as I've said before, not everyone (correction: hardly anyone) seems to share your sentiment. Yes, I did ask you, but that didn't mean I asked specifically for your reasons. I was simply making a statement that, technically, your revert was also untrue, since loads of other articles are the same, so I was simply making it consistent.
If you or someone else were to put the time into making those sections shorter then that would make a substantially greater impact than is made by indiscriminately removing content from certain media.
- You know I don't read the manga, so I can't trim that stuff until the anime reaches these points. Maybe, when the anime reaches these points, I may become able to trim the content.
- Nobody else really bothers to trim content, since we all know you are the master of trimming content, so we just leave you to work on it. But you seem more focused on trimming already short articles to make them even shorter, sometimes unnecessarily removing valid content.
Naruto's article has serious size issues and the main culprit is the summary of his actions from chapter ~550 onwards.
- It's currently locked due to edit warring.
I believe you've previously expressed the sentiment that the wiki should not exclusively cater to the manga and databook crowd, yet doing this basically caters to the manga and databook crowd.
- That is not true, removing the descriptions of a character's involvement in a filler is something that the wiki has long since done. I don't see why that should change simply on the basis that you don't agree. You should form a consensus in the forums to get the opinions of the wiki as a whole. If the wiki doesn't agree, you can't then complain when people do the action you think is bad. o.O
- Again, make a thread in the forums. It is more likely than not that people simply do not care, or maybe they feel that, as the only proponent for cutting articles, you should be the one doing it. But instead, you focus on the already short pages and mass deleting pictures, which are not a priority and complain about large articles not being trimmed. Consider the fact that maybe people think there is nothing to remove without removing valid content. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 18:38, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
So you're acknowledging you're removing valid content. We've come so far!
- I didn't say that. And we can both play the sarcastic replies game if you want.
I imagine you would have found the time by now if you wanted to. ... Extraordinarily, I do things other than contribute to this wiki.
- Extraordinary. Maybe you forgot a few things:
- I have a YouTube channel to run that provides my only source of income (something which you don't have)
- I manage other wiki's, not just this one (something which you don't do, looking at your masthead)
- I play a lot of video games for the first bullet point
- I have, so far, had little free time due to something called... *gasp* a degree
- Unlike you, my sole focus on Wikia is not a single wiki and my focus on multiple wiki's is not just the content or complaining. So before you start attacking me for not doing anything, maybe you should get the facts right.
What are the priorities then?
- Cleaning up articles, making sure everything is properly referenced and accurate and ensuring that the wiki is happy. Minor maintenance, such as that from deleting pictures, is not a priority. I notice that you are on here, nearly every day and it takes you many hours just to make a small number of contributions. Maybe you need to sort the priorities of how you use your time on the wiki, maybe leaving the maintenance of unused pics to other people to manage. o.O
- And please, if your going to reply, don't just quote very small phrases of my message and reply to every single little bit, I find that very irritating and annoying, not to mention that it makes it seem like you have nothing better to do. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 19:29, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
- *insert wall of text about yourself here*
- Maybe if you included some of that information on your userpage, instead of an utterly useless brick wall, then you wouldn't get criticised when people can't understand why you do certain things.
- I haven't got my degree yet, have just finished the second year, but thanks anyway ;)
- And it would have been nicer if your userpage mentioned your experiences on other wiki's, even if you don't use this account to edit them. --Sajuuk [Mod] talk | contribs | Channel 20:18, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
I thought it was deemed more proper on the wiki. I could be mistaken though.--LeafShinobi (talk) 00:22, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

When I asked that question a good few years ago, 40 ft seemed the most common answer, until I asked about single handed cruising, then the answer came down to 35 ft. I got 38 ft. In practice, I think I could happily handle 40 ft or more alone. There are so many more ways of making life easy than before. The extra few feet are in the fattest part of the boat, so it's a lot of volume difference. However, how the interior of the boat is designed makes a huge difference. The newer boats pack standard stuff like tanks and engines much better than the older designs. On the other hand, as a cruiser, the newer boats have far too little storage space, preferring large open saloons and spacious looking berths - in my view.

Meet Team O
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
It's more than just snacks. The people behind Oishi believe in more than just offering tasty treats, they enjoy creating products that become a part of the daily lives of Pinoys.
They wanted to celebrate this by creating everyday surprises for Filipinos, which they call "O, Wow! Moments." Shera Tiu, Oishi's VP for Marketing, said, "We think Oishi is an everyday thing that gives you a wow moment. We want to surprise people on regular days."
To achieve this, they formed Team O, a group of passionate individuals from different fields. Team O members include Elmo Magalona, Tim Yap, Slater Young, Ramon Bautista, Gang Badoy and couple Jamich. Acting as Oishi brand ambassadors, they bring joy to people by surprising them in different places—their schools, the malls, even MRT and LRT stations—and giving them a big dose of Oishi goodness.
We met most of Team O on the day of our Oishi plant tour and spent time talking to them about the campaign and their favorite Oishi snacks.
Elmo Magalona
On being part of Team O: "I'm so glad to be a part of Team O. I'm excited to share 'O, Wow!' experiences with the rest of them. I think I will learn a lot."
Elmo's Oishi favorites: Wafu, Marty's, Porky Pops, Cracklings, Prawn Crackers and Kirei
Tim Yap
On being part of Team O: "I love the diversity of the group. The more people we can reach out to, the better."
On surprising people: "On a daily basis, I like to give out prizes on Twitter, my YapForGrabs. This is an extension of that. I love making other people happy."
His Oishi favorites: "I was wowed by Wafu. When I serve it to friends at home, they always go, 'Oh wow, what is this?' I also like Marty's, Cracklings and Kirei, a yummy old favorite."
Slater Young
On the plant tour: "It was nostalgic for me. Sa Cebu, ito yung trabaho ko, I worked in a construction company. Itong mga buildings, 'yun yung ginagawa namin."
His Oishi favorites: "Smart C+ pomelo flavor and ube Pillows."
On being part of Team O: "Sobrang hilig namin sa snacks. It's a dream come true. We're so grateful to be a part of it."
Their Oishi favorites: Jam likes Oishi's potato chips while Mich likes Pillows in chocolate flavor and Marty's.

Engineered for superior pressure redistribution and durability, the new formula TUFFease® gel products utilize a proprietary, plant oil-based blend that doesn't rely entirely on petroleum. Most other gel pads on the market are made with petroleum-based formulas. Besides the environmental benefit, some of the new TUFFease® gel shaped product's bottom surface is more durable than other pressure redistribution products because of an added thickness that helps prevent damage or tearing when the pad is being moved or placed in storage. The increased durability can lead to longer use, thus cost savings, in hospital operating and recovery rooms where pressure redistribution products are necessary to help prevent pressure ulcers.
In addition to its increased durability, the new IMP gel pad has been produced with a sleeker, shinier, surface material to alleviate skin shear and give greater protection against skin breakdown. The nearly wrinkle-free cover also makes the gel pad easier to clean with all approved topical hospital cleaning products.
The patent pending LapWrap™ Positioning Pad secures patients' arms by their sides during surgery or medical imaging procedures. The easy-to-use, soft-foam pad is ideal for laparoscopic and robotic surgeries.
The LapWrap™ Positioning Pad answers the concerns of the AORN Guidelines for protection of the neurological structures of the elbow when keeping arms close to the body. The hook and loop fasteners simply secure patients' arms while giving the anesthesiologist better viewing of leads, tubing and connections. No more draw sheets tucked under the patient are required, while the IMP solution also acts as a warming blanket. The latex-free positioning pad is manufactured for single use and is universally sized to accommodate any patient.
About Innovative Medical Products
Established in 1983, Innovative Medical Products is focused on developing innovative products to benefit and improve efficiency in the operating room and hospital clinics where patient stability and positioning are required. Its products are designed to provide accuracy for the surgeon, save time for operating room personnel, and benefit the overall patient surgical experience.

The six products listed can obviously be split into 3 pairs of products, each which equal a*b*c*d.
So by listing out all possible products that can be found by multiplying any two of the 5 given products, we're guaranteed to find exactly 2 of these products that equal a*b*c*d.
If one tries doing this for 2,3,4,5,6 only one end product is repeated twice (12) ensuring that 12 = a*b*c*d.
Once we have this, finding the last product is easy.
the two pairs of procucts that multiple to 12 are (2,6) and (3,4).
Thus the last pair must be (5,2.4), giving the sixth product as 2.4
The product of the 6 products (as mentioned in the first sentence) is a3b3c3d3 = (a*b*c*d)3.
(a*b*c*d)3 = 2*3*4*5*6*x where x is the sixth product.
123 = 720x
x = 1728/270 = 2.4

Rio's Carnival lets 40-somethings star in samba
Beija-Flor had it's top fan in attendance: President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spent eight hours watching the parades staying till 5 a.m. At one point, he tossed condoms down from his box seat onto those parading, taking an active part in a government anti-AIDS campaign to distribute 65 million prophylactics this month.
Imperatiz's theme celebrated its 50th year of existence by lauding the hardscrabble Ramos neighborhood in western Rio de Janeiro, where the school is headquartered.
After Brunet's dazzling entrance came hundreds of drummers, dancers dressed in 19th century garb twirling massive white and silver umbrellas and a centerpiece float recreating a long-gone gentleman's club, replete with red velvet walls and gold furniture.

The owners really try to make it a stay to remember! The best part is the breakfast: you place your order the night before and in the morning get treated like a king at a dinner table. The 1st day we were served "Vermont cigars" (sausages wrapped in bacon) along with mushroom omelet, and the 2nd day - eggs Benedict with salmon. All this properly sets you up for a day of exploring the area which has tons of attractions a short car ride - and some even a pleasant hike - away (Shelburne Museum, Vermont Vineyard, Champlain Chocolate Factory, Teddy Bear Factory, etc). We had 2 rooms which face a rather busy street, but there was still very little traffic noise getting inside. The hotel has a charming Victorian atmosphere, comfy beds, ample space in the rooms.We are planning to stay at the Heart of the Village again on our way to Cape Cod this summer.
The Dream House Country Inn is a B&B dream come true. Innkeepers, George and Sue, are the hosts with the most! What a wonderful experience that made our anniversary trip worth taking. We were made to feel like long lost friends and welcomed like family. Unlike the advertisements and photos of other B&B's, Dream House is nicer than portrayed. The Inn had good cell-phone coverage as well as WiFi. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch to have coffee and read in peace & quiet, only distracted by the view, the birds and squirrels. We wish that we had spent a whole week there, rather than just two nights. Thank you George & Sue Bob & Nel O'Hanlon
Everything about Button Bay Bed and Breakfast is simply amazing. The location is perfect, just perched above the coast of Lake Champlain with a stunning view panorama from the outdoor patio. The room was welcoming, spacious and relaxing in every way from the huge soaking tub, to the luxurious bed and bedding. The breakfast is so delicious. Both Joe and Paulette are superb hosts. Very friendly, welcoming and always willing to do whatever we needed to make our stay perfect. I can't recommend this place enough for the peace, love and relaxation it offers.
The entire experience was wonderful from the moment I first contacted the Inn until the time I had left. I recommend this place to any person looking for a place to stay while staying in Burlington. The house is beautiful. The rooms are well decorated and very clean. The beds are very comfortable. The people are incredibly friendly and dedicated to making your experience memorable. The breakfasts are absolutely wonderful. And finally, the inn is a 5-8 minute drive to downtown Burlington. I know where I will be staying on my next visit to Vermont!
What a gem! Paulette and Joe were wonderful hosts. I felt as though I were staying with friends. They are so cordial and helpful. The views were balm for the soul, and the breakfasts awesome. The location is a great base for exploring northern and southern points. I can't wait to go back.
My husband and I just returned from the Swift House a couple days ago and our experience was nothing short of wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed and at home. There were personal touches all over the house, from the homemade cookies in the hall to the house owners/managers bringing us breakfast personally in the dining hall. Our room was very clean, comfortable and spacious and having a bathroom attached to the room made our stay that much more pleasant. The setting was breathtaking and we especially enjoyed having breakfast out on the terrace. Overall we have nothing negative to say about our experience and will definitely be recommending and returning to the Swift House Inn! staff was friendly
We had a fantastic stay at this hidden jewel right on Lake Champlain. Our host and hostess were very cordial and accommodating. Paulette was especially helpful with getting sugar-free/low sugar items to help keep my diabetes in check. The breakfasts were delicious and included some of the local fruits and meats (the best bacon I ever ate!) They are located right on the Champlain bike trail and had lots of suggestions for food and sights to see in the area. If you get a chance, it's a great and inexpensive ($100 per night) stay. The sunsets on Lake Champlain from the patio in back were breathtaking.
We enjoyed a beautiful weekend at Button Bay! Great location and views and a delicious Marscapone French toast breakfast! Will definitely return!
I was very impressed by every aspect of the Inn. The staff was very friendly, the Inn was very clean and very well decorated; you can tell that a lot of thought went into every detail of the inn's decor. It really felt like a home away from home. The food at the Inn was not only delicious but it was a culinary masterpiece. The complementary breakfast was unlike any I ever had. It was high quality food and very well presented. You really get your money's worth when you get an amazing breakfast. The only downside (at least for me) was that the inn is right next to the road but besides that it was great. My friend and I also tried two restaurants that were recommended by the Inn: BobCat and Cafe Provence. Both had great service and some of the best tasting food ever. If there is anything I learned from this trip is that Vermont has a lot of Natural beauty, is great for outdoor activities, and has AMAZING WHOLESOME FOOD!
Button Bay is a perfect place for relaxing and unwinding from stresses of life. The panorama view of the mountains across Lake Champlain is a spectacular way to start the day; sunsets are not to be missed.. Excellent attention to hospitality details, private entrance, nearby attractions... all perfect for an extended visit or a much-needed mini-retreat for the soul.
We just loved our stay at the Waybury Inn. We had passed by this wonderful B&B many times and finally stopped in for a last minute stay on a Saturday night. The Inn was very busy because of a wedding that was being hosted by the Inn. We hardly noticed that they were so busy with the wedding guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure. The breakfast was just fantastic and the atmosphere at the inn is unique. Can't wait to go back.
We felt right at home at Waybury, from the inviting lobby to the street-front porch, to our comfortable corner room and adjoining bath. The food was excellent, at both our Friday arrival dinner and two breakfasts. If we return during 'open windows' season (we shunned the a/c and opted for fresh air sleeping in cool September temps) I'd ask for a room that doesn't face the street, due to early morning traffic. Forgotten belongings were promptly mailed back. Beautifully maintained grounds and gardens. 15 minutes from trails in Green Mountain Park.
My family and I have happily been repeat customers at the Waybury Inn for two years now, both in spring and fall. As parents of a Middlebury College student, we wanted the feel of a true Vermont Inn, the surrounding beauty of the state, and comfortable, superior accommodations with outstanding food. We receive this and more each time we visit The Waybury, from Tracy and her staff. The Waybury is run with charm, dedication and top quality service. We've stayed in several of the rooms, each with a different theme and appreciate the cleanliness and pleasantries of the rooms (love the CDs and Rusk toiletries in the rooms, not to mention the cozy beds). The breakfasts are a wonderful experience (fresh omelets, scones and pancakes are delish!) and the restaurant food is outstanding (Shepard's pie is a favorite!) The adjoining pub is very cozy and snug! The bartender does a great job welcoming each guest with a great pub menu. The grounds are lovely and another highlight of the inn, with beautiful manicured flower beds, manicured lawn and a spacious patio with fire pit for chilly evenings. We've enjoyed meeting other Middlebury families as well as travelers from all over the globe. Hanging out by a parlor fire with cookies and newspapers, or on the front porch in a rocker with coffee - has remained a highlight each season for us - and sustains us throughout the hot Texas summers - when we return home. We will continue to visit the Waybury Inn for years to come - as it is truly one of our very favorite places we've ever visited. The Hummer family - Austin, TX
My wife and I were looking for an old Vermont inn for a weekday getaway. The Waybury provided all the modern ammenities in an old Vermont inn that we were looking for. The inn is in a very quaint Vermont town with lots of charm. Service was outstanding and we felt very comfortable there! Sue & Ted
The staff were very helpful, friendly and made us feel very welcome. Our room was wonderful with lovely linens and very unique furnishing. The breakfast and afternoon baking were an added bonus. Thanks to all of you for making our stay so memorable.
I brought my fiance here for a long weekend to celebrate her birthday. What a great time. We stayed two nights, and were pleasantly surprised! Middlebury is a beautiful scenic town, and we were able to enjoy the quaintness, mere minutes from the inn. Just a few miles away, we were also able to snowshoe to the summit if snake mountain. The Swift House inn is very central, and I am already planning our trip back. We stayed in the the gorgeous Woodbury room. We perfected the night by popping some champagne, and hanging in front of the perfectly romantic burning fire, right in the room! The staff very courteous, and helpful, and the service was impeccable. We will be back...
Our stay at the Heart of the Village Inn was fabulous. The staff was kind and helpful, the room was clean, quiet, and sunny, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! Heart of the Village Inn even offers vegan breakfast options! My husband and I hope to return soon!
If you dream of staying at a typical Vermont Inn, this is it and more. The location is great for visiting central Vermont. The inn has a large common room and a beautiful dining room. Comfortable beds and antique decorated bedrooms. We wouldn't suggest changing anything to the friendly innkeepers.
Location is lovely - quiet. I could live on the rocking chairs on the front porch. Well maintained property; the owner pulls weeds. Lovely garden out back. Restaurant is excellent and the outside dining is relaxing. Staff is friendly, courteous, and has a sense of humor. We loved the place and will go back.
We felt welcome. We felt pampered, the dining experience was incredible. Trout Almondine the very best I have eaten anywhere. The salmon disappeared off Barbs plate like Ben & Jerry's butter pecan (her favorite) Inkeeper Tracy was most accomodating! The grounds were immaculate and encouraged us to walk them.
May 11-13, 2012 - brought our two small dogs, the early morning (sidewalked) stroll past all the charming houses on the main road was a real highlight, with the morning sun shining down the road. We ate dinner in the pub, everything was delicious - nice waitstaff, friendly bartender. Coffee on the front porch followed by a yummy breakfast. The room was not grand, but clean as a whistle, comfy bed, plenty of space to unpack. Tried to book our next stay before we checked out, but they were already booked for a wedding - lucky wedding!
Business frequently brings me to Middlebury, Vermont. The Waybury Inn has been a terrific home away from home. The individual rooms vary from a full suite to more cozy rooms. The Waybury is a beautifully appointed country inn that creates an atmosphere where one can actually relax and enjoy the setting. In the summer I have sipped a cold Vernont made hand crafted beer on the covered front porch, and the delightful pub and dining room on the premises is always welcoming. The chef has been with the property for years, and everything- from the home baked muffins to my favorite vegetable wellington is prepared superbly. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. There is a television in the living room, but not in the guest rooms which is another point of difference that makes for a much more relaxing experience. Enjoy the Waybury Inn on your next trip to Midllebury, Vermont. I have never been disappointed! Dan Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts
The Woodland Room was very Vermont, with wood trim and bear motif. The inn is quiet, staff are excellent and the dinner prepared for our group was delicious! Highest recommendation.
We were married at the waybury in February four years ago and we go back every year. The staff, service, and food are like no other. We love to spend a weekend to just relax and be spoiled and we definitely get both at the Waybury.
Breakfast was great Very friendly staff Quaint place to stay
My husband and I stayed here last September while bicycling with Vermont Bicycle Tours. Every aspect of this Inn was lovely: staff, furnishings, meals, grounds. If we are in this area in the future we'll definited stay again!
The innkeepers and staff are truely interested in the quality and service of their inn. Is is close proximity to Burlington and lots of great things to do in Shelburne.

FORD: My whole purpose in being in Syria is to be able to communicate not only with the Syrian government, but with the Syrian people more generally. I will be very frank again: The Syrian television, operated by the state, operated by the dictatorship, is not credible and tells all kinds of lies.
So we are looking for ways to reach out to the Syrian public through social media, through things like Facebook, and by going out and about in the country.
AMANPOUR: So you're going to keep tweaking them, you're going to keep waving sort of the red flag in front of the bull in the way you can?
FORD: It's important to bear witness to what the Syrian government is doing. In that kind of environment, where the international press, international television can't move around freely, it is really important for diplomats to be able to move around, to understand what the Syrian government is doing on the ground.
The Syrian government does not tell the truth. They said there were armed gangs in Hama. Well, the only weapon I saw was a slingshot. So it's important to bear witness, and it's important to relay a message of support.
AMANPOUR: You want change on ground. Do you want Assad out?
FORD: We have said he has lost his legitimacy. But in the end, Christiane, it doesn't really matter as much what we say or what the international community says as what the Syrian people say and what the Syrian people do.
AMANPOUR: It seems obvious what the Syrian people want. They want a democratic transition, and they want the fall of this regime. The president of the United States, Barack Obama, called on a long-time U.S. ally, Hosni Mubarak, to leave. He's not doing that to not such an ally and somebody who's committing much more violence, Bashar Assad. Should the president of the United States say that it is time for Bashar al-Assad to step down?
FORD: Well, you're absolutely right that Bashar al-Assad is using a great deal more violence than was used in Egypt. We have said -- and we've been very clear on this -- we do not view Bashar al-Assad as indispensable. We do not view his continuation in power as important to American interests. We have said we view him and his government as the source of instability and the source of violence in Syria.
I think our views are very clear. The president has said his government will be left in the past. The meaning is clear, Christiane.
AMANPOUR: Many Americans watching this unfolding say, well, look, the United States joined a coalition of a no-fly zone, a military intervention in Libya, for instance. There's no such thing on the horizon for Syria. Can you explain that?
FORD: The Libyan situation is very different from what we have in Syria. Probably the first and foremost thing, in my discussions, moving around the country and talking to people, even in Hama, where there's this atrocity going on right now, even in Hama, when I talk to people there, what do you think about what the Americans should do, the international community? They were very clear, Christiane, they did not want American military intervention. I want to underline that: They did not want American military intervention.
AMANPOUR: What is the United States going to do to ratchet up the pressure to try to influence what's happening there?

Shelly's famous statement about 'the vanity of translation' notwithstanding, the art of translating poetry from one language into another continues to flourish, and translation as an academic discipline has outdistanced both Linguistics and Comparative Literature which were once patronising it. Robert Frost may have said "poetry is what is lost in translation," and Noam Chomsky may say "translation is like squaring a circle or circling a square." But as Derrida points out, all great works like the Greek tragedies, Virgil's Aeneid, and Dante's Divine Comedy, have to survive only through their translations. Now that Tamil Sangam poetry has won a place alongside these world classics, it is imperative that it should get translated more and more into the leading languages of the world to sustain its status.
A challenge
Only certain kinds of poetry that rely too much on wordplay and the sound of words will resist successful translation, but poems primarily depending upon profound imagery as well as aphoristic utterances will come through without much difficulty. Characterised as they are by concision, striking imagery, and rolling rhythms, Sangam poems do pose a challenge to the translator. Yet, where translators have failed, the reasons will have to be sought in their own shortcomings such as poor acquaintance with the original and wrong choice of the idom.
Though numerous native scholars and western aficionados have attempted to render in English select poems from Sangam anthologies, G.U. Pope, A.K. Ramanujan and George L. Hart represent three types of translation, each with its own idiosyncratic features that accounted for their merits as well as limitations. On his part, Pope contents himself very often with paraphrases. It is his fondness for rhymes that lets him down and, at times, even forces him to introduce a descriptive phrase or a metaphor not found in the original. As for Ramanujan, he scrupulously avoids Victorian English and chooses today's English, which remains his forte. It is largely through his efforts that Sangam poetry acquired a global reputation. His characteristic style is to break the poem in accordance with the ideas conveyed and the objects described and, then, to indent one part or two parts, depending upon their relative importance. But if his readers are not acquainted with the original, they may be misled into believing that some of the typical techniques of modern poetry employed by him are of the Sangam pieces.
Hart and Heifetz consciously defined themselves against Ramanujan as they valiantly attempt to recapture the rhythmic grandeur of the original Tamil pieces. Being a poet, Heifetz (with whose collaboration Hart has done the work) knows that, "Tamil language runs like a river — long words, rapid speech, accumulating syllables." And their translation, therefore, attempts "to communicate the feel of these rolling rhythms," although "sometimes straining against the bounds of English syntax."
This scenario was clearly set for the advent of a translator, who, apart from being a home-grown scholar, is himself a poet and a seasoned translator of poetry so that he could fully comprehend the meaning/import of a word or a phrase and capture the image of a Sangam poem. The author of Love Stands Alone, M.L. Thangappa eminently fits the bill. In this book, he has provided the English rendering of over 160 select poems. Take, for instance, a poem by Maarpitthiyaar wherein the poet expresses, with a touch of psychological realism, her wonder at the transformation of a young man, who, once capable of captivating the hearts of young women by his charming words, has become an ascetic and is seen drying his hair after bathing in a mountain stream. And Thangappa's translation runs thus: Look at this ascetic/who wears matted hair/which has acquired the colour of thillai leaves/with frequent wash/in the waterfalls/picking the thick thali leaves/Once he had been a hunter/of sweet young girls/from many a home/catching them in his net of words.
This is nothing more, or less, than what the exquisite piece says in elegant Tamil. Pope in his rendering mentions "his stately palace-home," whereas there is no hint in the original that the character was a king-turned ascetic. Ramanujan's translation, though superb, leaves us in doubt about his understanding of the hunter-related metaphor; he pictures a strange hunter who catches the peacocks that wander into his house in a net of words! Hart almost narrates a short story about the past of the protagonist of the poem and asserts, without any warrant, that the hero — not at all a womaniser — played the role of a hunter with a net of words only once, and that too to catch the maid who has now become his wife!
Anyone who has been impressed with the translation of Sangam poems by Pope or Ramanujan or Hart would do well to turn to Thangappa whenever they would like to know what exactly the original says.

Sandy's High Desert Savings
Welcome to Sandy's High Desert Savings. This is a site for the average bargain shopper. I assume most shoppers have bought one paper and print coupons from the internet. I post the deals on that assumption. Obviously, if you buy more than one copy of the paper you will have more coupons to use for a particular deal. Coupons are based on the Daily Press since I live in the high desert.
I believe in stocking up when there's a good deal but I don't believe in clearing the shelves. The most I've ever bought of one item was 100 bottles of apple juice when they were on sale for .99c. My husband drinks apple juice every day and this was a great price. However, I asked the store manager first if I could buy 25 bottles at that price and then I went to 4 stores and bought 25 at each store. Each store had several bottles so there were still bottles on the shelves after I took my 25. I don't like it when someone comes in with a stack of coupons and clears the shelves and I can't even get one or two of an item so I don't do that to others.
Please take a look around. The Current Bargains page lists the grocery and drugstore bargains each week along with where to print coupons or which insert the coupons are in. Coupons to Print are just that, coupons you can print to take to your stores. If you're not familiar with how the rewards programs work at CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid, I have a whole page devoted to that. My husband is on a low sodium diet so I have a page with some low sodium items I have found to make cooking easier. Free Money tells about programs where you earn money on your purchases. I'm involved with various non-profits so I list some of them you can donate your time or your money to along with how the non-profits can help those of us who are struggling.
Are you concerned about identity theft, especially after the security breaches we have read about? Sign up now for Identity Theft Shield for $12.95 per month. Check out my LegalShield page for more info or give me a call at 760-684-0628. I look forward to hearing from you!
Do you want to save money using coupons and shopping the bargains but aren't sure how to start? Let's have a coupon class! Grab some friends and family members and let's get started. I'll come to you with examples of some of the deals I have put together and the rewards coupons from the different drugstores so you know what they look like and how they work. Give me a call at 760-684-0628 and let's start saving some money! There will be a $20 fee for the class.
If you'd like one on one training, we can do that, too. Just give me a call and we'll set up a time and place to shop.
If you have any questions or comments about something I've posted, feel free to email me at email@example.com.

What's All This About "Wearables"?
"Wearable" devices that allow us quick interaction with features typically found on smartphones are becoming increasingly controversial, according to the Applied Voice Input Output Society. A variety of new devices and features introduced last week at the Consumer Electronics Show raised the stakes for vendors seeking the right formula.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2014
Some analysts suggest wearables are the "next big thing" and others suggest a limited role for such devices. A keynote panel at the Mobile Voice Conference, March 3-5 in San Francisco (http://www.mobilevoiceconference.com), led by Todd Mozer, CEO, Sensory Inc., will address the issues surrounding the category. Panelists will dig into what is available, what is to come, alternative concepts, and support for independent apps for the potentially explosive category. Panelists include:

"Wearables bring the power of mobile devices to a new level of availability," according to industry analyst William Meisel, editor of Speech Strategy News and author of The Software Society. "There is no need to pull out a smartphone or tablet to receive alerts or request information."
Mozer said that the category is new enough that fundamental questions remain. "What is the right form factor for a wearable? What is driving the market need for such a device? Is interaction by voice necessary or is a small display enough? Should a voice-activated device be always listening or awakened by a key phrase? Will a camera or microphone create privacy concerns with others? How dependent is a wearable on a connected device? And more." Mozer noted that discussion and debate will include the opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
The Mobile Voice Conference is organized by the Applied Voice Input Output Society (AVIOS), a non-profit industry organization that has been helping to move advanced natural-language technologies such as speech recognition into commercial reality for 25 years. The conference covers natural interaction with mobile devices, with examples of what companies are doing in the area and available resources to create interactive applications. The full program is available at mobilevoiceconference.com/program.
