WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's governors are asking Congress to help states recover an estimated $20 billion in sales taxes that go uncollected by out-of-state online merchants every year.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam told the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that it isn't fair to local businesses to exempt online purchases from state sales taxes. Haslam said affordable computer software now makes it easy for even the smallest merchants to collect and forward sales taxes.
Other Republican governors, such as Chris Christie of New Jersey, have endorsed a bill to make out-of-state Internet merchants charge and collect state taxes.
Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, a coalition of e-commerce companies, said the bill does not simplify the process of collecting and distributing taxes enough to avoid imposing a burden on small businesses.

Announcing Carbonfund.org's 10th Anniversary Tree-Planting Campaign!
This month, Carbonfund.org celebrates our 10th anniversary! In honor of this accomplishment, we're urging our donors, supporters and business partners to plant 10 trees, and we'll match your effort by planting 10 additional trees, now through 11/3/2013.
We are happy, proud and especially thankful for all of our supporters. We appreciate partnering with you to combat global warming. Making the choice to "reduce what you can, offset what you can't" makes you a critical part of the climate change solution.
Many people don't know that deforestation is responsible for roughly 20% of global warming. Fortunately, planting trees has a multitude of benefits; chief of which is absorbing carbon dioxide to reduce climate change.
Birthday cake and cards are great, but let's plant more trees to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Don't forget we'll add 10 trees and double your impact on reducing global warming.
UN Climate Report Concludes Global Warming Extremely Likely Caused by Humans
The United Nations' (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released their climate change report on Friday that they produce about every five to six years. The IPCC's last report was published in 2007. The UN created the IPCC to assess the science, risks and impacts of global warming, and the IPCC is considered the world's leading authority on climate change.
A press release from the IPCC says, "It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. The evidence for this has grown, thanks to more and better observations, an improved understanding of the climate system response and improved climate models."
"Warming in the climate system is unequivocal and since 1950 many changes have been observed throughout the climate system that are unprecedented over decades to millennia. Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850, reports the Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC Working Group I assessment report, Climate Change 2013: the Physical Science Basis, approved on Friday by member governments of the IPCC in Stockholm, Sweden."
Extremely likely is an upgrade from a previous report that said it was very likely that human intervention was spurring climate change. The IPCC defines extremely likely as 95–100% probability of an outcome or a result, and very likely as 90–100% probability.
The report's authors do not conduct original research for the assessments, so the IPCC reports are primarily summaries of the state of the field. The findings are based on the aggregated results of the most recent published and peer-reviewed climate change research with more than 600 researchers from 32 countries reviewing more than 9,000 peer-reviewed studies for this report. They produced 2,000 pages of scientific analysis and worked through 56,000 comments.
Friday's report represents the first of four sections that ultimately make up the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, or AR5. Other parts of the report examine socioeconomic impacts and potential ways to mitigate the effects of climate change.
US Secretary of State John Kerry responded to the UN report with this statement:
"Those who deny the science or choose excuses over action are playing with fire. Once again, the science grows clearer, the case grows more compelling, and the costs of inaction grow beyond anything that anyone with conscience or common sense should be willing to even contemplate."
The bottom line is alarm bells should be going off as you read about this disturbing report. Each of us influences climate change and it should frighten you that some of its impacts are happening faster than originally expected. We need to do more to correct the problem. This massive and critical report points to long term implications if we do not embrace a sustainable, cleaner energy future posthaste.
Aslan Graphics Celebrates Print Management Awards and Sixth Year CarbonFree®
The printing industry has taken great strides to implement various sustainability initiatives, in order to reduce industry-produced greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve greater production efficiency through chain-of-custody certifications in alignment with the Forest Steward Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
CarbonFree® Business Partner Aslan Graphics recognized that it could take a leadership position by going beyond the industry-wide efforts and directly mitigating its own operational carbon emissions. By joining the CarbonFree® Business Partnership six years ago, award-winning Aslan Graphics has offered its clients the advantages of a carbon emissions-neutral print management company in the very environmentally-aware San Francisco market.
"It would be irresponsible to be a part of the printing industry -- an industry that has a big environmental footprint -- and not try to offset some its effects," explains Dayala Levenson, President and CEO of Aslan Graphics. "Although there have been tremendous improvements in reducing the impact of printing, I am grateful that we have yet another opportunity to minimize it. Carbonfund.org has given us an easy way to present a carbon offsetting option to our clients and to take advantage of it ourselves."
Aslan Graphics made a commitment to investing in future renewable energy sources through Carbonfund.org. Over the past six years, Aslan Graphics has neutralized almost 500,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions by supporting clean energy project development.
"While we believe that the most important aspect of an environmental policy is to limit your impact from the start, it's good to know that we are able to help counteract the effects of our business through Carbonfund.org," concludes Dayala. We couldn't agree more.
Long-term Policies Necessary to Ensure Renewable Energy Future
Among other good news on the climate change front this week, renewable energy is projected to exceed gas by 2016. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2016 global electricity generation from wind, solar, hydro and other forms of renewable power will eclipse that from natural gas – and should be double that provided by nuclear plants.
The IEA points to a surge in renewables led by emerging economies such as China, which accounts for 40 percent of the projected global growth in renewables between 2012 and 2018. Although this is positive, we're not out of the woods yet if we want to avoid the 2 degree Celsius increase threshold that scientists predict could lead to permanent changes to ecosystems. China still relies heavily on coal, and not just for electricity generation. The country also depends on the fossil fuel for steel production and making fertilizers, which generate large amounts of greenhouse gases. Even aggressive expansion of renewables and nuclear power leaves China using coal for up to half of its total energy needs by 2050.
In the U.S., a boom in shale gas production is stunting efforts to expand renewables. European growth of renewables has also slowed. But the new economic powerhouses of China, India and Brazil are leading the charge, which sweetens the overall global renewable picture.
However, don't fall into the trap of thinking the future is rosier than it seems. On the surface, these projections paint a picture where natural gas fills in for a decade or two while we build a low-carbon future based around renewables. That is certainly a likely scenario, but it requires the support of long-term policies in many countries to encourage sufficient investment in renewable power plants.
The problem is that policy uncertainty leads to building gas-fired plants that have a lifetime of three to four decades. This makes it difficult to phase out fossil fuels on the timescale needed to avoid dangerous global warming, which requires major cuts from 2030 onwards. In fact, the IEA itself warned in its 2011 edition of World Energy Outlook that fossil-fuel plants due to be built over the next five years are already likely to lock the planet into 2°C of warming.
So how can we fix this problem? Energy analysts say we need long-term assurances to investors that renewable plants being built now will deliver a better economic return than those fired by coal or natural gas. It's a weakness of U.S. President Barack Obama's climate plan, announced earlier this week, which lacks the long-term targets that could be set if Congress would pass new legislation.
The stakes are high. We need significant changes in existing proposals for policy. Otherwise the chances are slim that we'll avoid surpassing the 2 degree Celsius increase threshold climatologists warn will alter the lives of billions of people.
Jellyfish: the Ocean's Canaries
Some may think jellyfish are simply a pesky problem when we want to take a swim or snorkel, but they are actually a sign of flagging oceanic health. We think of them as the canary in the coal mine. The difference is the canary dies when there is a problem, but jellyfish flourish in the conditions that global warming wreaks on our oceans.
Climate change heats and acidifies the planet's oceans. Overfishing adds to the first two major problems. All three contribute to creating an ideal environment for jellyfish to thrive and multiply. So what's the big deal if there are too many jellyfish?
The issue is that jellyfish take a bad situation and make it worse. They have a unique trait where they're able to eat up the food chain. This is surprising considering these sea creatures don't even have brains. However, they actually can consume animals that are bigger, smarter and faster than they are. They damage the ecosystem further by competing with large mammals, such as whales, by feeding on the same fish and plankton that these other animals need to survive.
Marine expert Lisa-ann Gershwin wrote the new book Stung! On Jellyfish Blooms and the Future of the Ocean. She points to an example where jellyfish wiped out an entire food chain simply by eating from the bottom up.
The jellyfish species Mnemiopsis leidyi was accidentally introduced into the Black Sea in the early 1980s. In just a few short years, these jellyfish comprised "95 per cent of the biomass in the Black Sea". This means "ninety-five per cent of every living thing was this one species of jellyfish".
Jellyfish could rule our planet's oceans as they once did in the Precambrian era. A time when biodiversity was low, the jellyfish commanded the oceans, and mammals and reptiles did not exist. This is a scary eventuality, that our feet are firmly planted on the path towards. We need to heed the warnings that these gelatinous invertebrates provide and begin seriously reducing our carbon footprints and offsetting the rest of our carbon emissions.
Money Talks Even with Global Warming
You would think that out of all the industries in the world, the one that would be most concerned with climate change would be the insurance industry. Take a look at the costs for Superstorm Sandy alone. The extreme hurricane caused damage estimated at nearly $75 billion. According to a press release last month by the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, 2012 cost insurers $35 billion in privately insured property losses, which is $11 billion more than the average over the last decade.
Insurers, and the reinsurance companies that shoulder much of the ultimate risk in the industry, heavily rely on scientific thought and not which way the political wind is blowing on global warming. They are comfortable with the scientific consensus that the rampant burning of fossil fuels is the main cause of climate change. Despite their confidence, the question remains, what is the insurance industry doing about global warming considering the problem directly impacts their own interests?
Surprisingly, the answer is not much. Insurers mainly focus on zoning regulations and disaster alleviation since the industry is disinclined to enter energy policy's controversial fray. Furthermore, insurers are more insulated from climate change's devastation than at first meets the eye. The federal government covers flood insurance, which is an enormous risk during extreme weather. Additionally, insurers adjust to higher risks by raising premiums or dropping coverage. So successfully that despite Superstorm Sandy and the protracted drought that ravaged the Midwest Corn Belt, property and casualty insurance in the United States was more profitable in 2012 than in 2011.
However, there are signs that the insurance industry is looking increasingly favorably on a carbon tax. The true costs are placed on the polluters with a carbon tax rather than being passed on to the rest of us. Also, they're encouraged to pollute less. Most insurers would prefer a carbon tax over a host of additional regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Although the industry is warming to the idea of a carbon tax, they're still hesitant to throw all of their weight behind it. Again, money talks; insurers haven't yet experienced heavy losses from climate change. The exception is 2004 and 2005 when a series of hurricanes including Katrina, the costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States, caused damage worth more than $200 billion.
So the bottom line is that if these storms continue to hit people and businesses in the wallet, then eventually even the staunchest global warming disbelievers will admit the obvious. However, we need to do what we can in the meantime to avert global disaster. We don't want to pass the point of no return.
Wakeup Call – Frightening Global Warming Gas Milestone Reached
Last week our planet reached a scary milestone for carbon dioxide, the most important global warming gas. The average carbon dioxide reading exceeded 400 parts per million at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) on the island of Hawaii for the 24 hours that ended at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, May 9, 2013. Earth hasn't had this much carbon dioxide concentrated in the air for at least three million years, which is before human life on the planet.
This should be a wakeup call that major and potentially catastrophic global weather changes are coming and a sign we're not doing enough to tackle climate change.
We've seen carbon dioxide levels above 400 parts per million in the Arctic last year and even in some hourly readings at NOAA's MLO. However, this is the first time we've seen the average reading for an entire day exceed that level. Carbon dioxide levels do rise and fall along with the seasons. As foliage grows over the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, 10 billion tons of carbon will be pulled out of the air. But it's only a temporary pardon in a situation that's becoming direr by the moment.
We simply must invest in alternative energy technologies and begin curbing our dangerous global appetite for fossil fuels. Otherwise, the time will come soon where no measurement of the ambient air anywhere on earth, in any season, will produce a reading below 400.
The official target to limit the damage from global warming is 450 parts per million (PPM), which is generally agreed to be the maximum level compatible with that goal. Our relentless, long-term increases in carbon dioxide emissions are likely get us to 450 PPM in well under 25 years. The time to slow down global warming is dwindling quickly. Twenty five years may seem like a long time, but our planet is huge. It will take more time than that to right the ship.
Not every country has agreed to set binding emissions targets, either. Unfortunately, the United States count among those shirking their responsibility. Now greater efforts are necessary, and are all but impossible without severe economic disruptions.
Can we live on a planet that is warmer and wetter? Probably, but billions of people are going to suffer as we make the transition. It's a better plan to lower our carbon footprints and speedily move to no and low carbon energy sources. The price is going to be high either way, and it's only getting steeper as we hurtle towards the point of no return.
ACE Fills Climate Education Need in US High Schools Now
In a blog post last month, I wrote about how climate change science is set to be taught unevenly in the US curriculum. It's great that middle and high school age kids in the US are going to learn about climate change. Unfortunately, the Next Generation Science Standards are voluntary and could take years to implement. So is there an option if we want our children to learn about global warming now?
The non-profit Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) fills this need. Their mission is to, "educate high school students on the science behind climate change and inspire them to take action to curb global warming". One look at their website and you can see they are on the right track in reaching their target audience. It's packed with social media links and interactive blog entries.
Since the fall of 2009, ACE has reached more than a million high school students at over 1,550 schools. While this is impressive, there are some teachers and parents who oppose the presentations, believing climate change to be a controversial and/or political issue. However, all of the climate science ACE presents comes from peer-reviewed published science articles, with a focus on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4). The IPCC AR4 is one of the most heavily researched science reports in history.
ACE's efforts don't end with their presentations. They also offer Student Action Programs to help get kids started right away. Then ACE grooms student environmental leaders who influence peers and lead change.
With the help of an ACE grant, Daniela Lapidous and Shreya Indukuri installed energy monitoring technology at their school. Saving both energy and money led them to expand the project to other local schools. Their project's success brought them to the White House's attention, where a mere two years after their first ACE presentation, they advised Energy Secretary Steven Chu on their smartmeter project that reduced their school's electric bill by 13%. Daniela wrote about her experience on ACE's blog, "Hot and Bothered" and is a co-founder of SmartPowerEd.org.
It's inspiring to see the ripple effect that climate change education can bring about. And getting information about global warming to high school aged kids is critical and a conscious choice. "They're going to be the generation to feel the impacts [of climate change] hardest and first," says Matt Lappe, ACE's education director. "And so in some sense we target high-schoolers and young people in general, because they really have a right to know climate science."
We should all take a page out of the next generation's book. Not only are they learning about global warming, but they are taking the next steps to do something about the problem. Taking charge of the future is what it is all about since they're the ones that will have to live with the consequences if we don't.
Over Half of Americans Connect Extreme Weather and Climate Change
In a previous blog post about The Art of Climate Change Communication, I covered the six American publics and how they perceive climate change. The Dismissive is one of the smallest groups, making up a mere eight percent of the American public. They do not believe climate change is happening, nor do they believe it is human caused or a serious problem. Although small, they are very vocal. Sometimes it's easy for climate change communicators to be discouraged by this group. Nonetheless, now there is evidence that more than half of Americans (58%) say, "global warming is affecting weather in the United States."
The Extreme Weather and Climate Change in the American Mind report is based on findings from a nationally representative survey – Climate Change in the American Mind – conducted by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. These two organizations interviewed 1,045 adults between April 8 and 15, and found that "many Americans believe global warming made recent extreme weather and climatic events 'more severe,' specifically: 2012 as the warmest year on record in the United States (50%); the ongoing drought in the Midwest and the Great Plains (49%); Superstorm Sandy (46%); and Superstorm Nemo (42%)." The survey has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
Typically, climate scientists avoid making a connection between climate change and the day-to-day weather. Their stance used to be that no single weather event is caused by climate change. In recent years, however, climate science has advanced to the point where researchers can see climate change's impact on individual heat waves, droughts, hurricanes and other storms. At the very least, many are ready to admit that climate change makes extraordinary weather worse. And most of the American public agrees.
The report released this week also highlighted that, "overall, 85 percent of Americans report that they experienced one or more types of extreme weather in the past year, most often citing extreme high winds (60%) and extreme heat (51%)." It is part of The Psychology of Climate Change that humans need to tangibly experience phenomena in order to connect with it on a deeper level. We comprehend global warming is a serious threat more easily when we see the effects of extreme weather events such as Superstorm Sandy.
While it is vindicating to climate change communicators that our country is beginning to make the important connection between climate change and extreme weather, I am hoping the knowledge coalesces into further global warming realizations and ultimately stimulates a grass-roots movement that engenders meaningful change. Knowing there is a problem is an important first step. Doing something about the problem is an even more important next step.
Legislation Could Level the Playing Field for Renewable Energy
For decades, fossil fuel companies have enjoyed the benefit of master limited partnerships (MLPs). A MLP is a business structure that acts like a corporation with its corporate stock trading on the open market, but is taxed as a partnership rather than at the corporate tax rate. This allows investors to buy and sell their shares in the public markets, and project developers to access cheaper capital through the markets. It's an attractive tax benefit to be a MLP; an advantage that is inaccessible currently to renewable energy investment.
Since the 1980s, Congress has enabled investors to bundle energy projects like oil and gas pipelines and other fossil fuel developments from companies that extract, process or transport "depletable" natural resources and exempted them from corporate income taxes. The word "depletable" specifically excludes renewable energy.
U.S. Senator Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, introduced a bill last year that would give wind, solar and other renewable projects the same tax benefit. The Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act was re-introduced this week by a bipartisan group of senators.
In order to effectively combat climate change, renewables need to be priced at, or better yet, lower than fossil fuels. It's easier to sell shares to individuals and institutional investors such as pension funds when renewable projects are set up as MLPs. Widening the pool of potential investors adds new competition, which could lower the cost of financing projects, and in the end reduce the cost of renewable power.
Is leveling the playing field for wind, solar and other renewable projects the magic bullet to renewable energy investment? No, but it is a step in the right direction. The Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act is actually part of a broader toolkit, one that the federal government has used successfully in the past to develop domestic energy resources. Tax benefits such as the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit remain essential tools within the renewable energy industry.
Other tax reforms the industry and its supporters say will help level the playing field with fossil fuels include allowing renewable companies to organize as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and letting renewable tax credits be claimed by more types of investors. In December of 2012, a bipartisan group of 29 U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to the President calling for changes to both MLPs and REITs.
Even with bipartisan support in a deeply divided Congress, the bill faces some serious obstacles. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report estimated that extending MLPs to renewable energy companies would cost the U.S. Treasury about $2.8 billion between 2010 and 2014. At the moment, the broad political momentum in Congress involves eliminating loopholes and exemptions in order to raise revenue and lower tax rates. The report suggests that if leveling the playing field is the endgame, the alternative is closing the tax loophole for oil and gas companies.
Personally, I want to stop global warming and move into a sustainable energy future. Let your Congressional Representatives know you want them to support the Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Staying fit in the winter time can be hard. And when most people have a job that confines them to a desk, it's even harder. The American Heart Association recommends the average person walk at least five miles a day. And this week, Jason Meyers talks to April Parks, a Family Nurse Practitioner, about how you can do that, even when the weather's cold.

Thaddeus Rex Rocks at Vol State for Kids and Parents
Submitted on March 07, 2011 at 10:07 AM
You may have heard about rock and roll dinosaurs, but we're not talking about the Rolling Stones. Thaddeus Rex is a guy who hangs out with a dinosaur who really rocks. It's a fun evening for parents to enjoy with their kids, coming up at Volunteer State Community College. Time Out NY says the Thaddeus Rex show is "reminiscent of David Bowie with flashes of Monty Python, Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein." Man and dino rock out on March 24 at 6 p.m. for this concert in the Cafeteria of the Wood Campus Center on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. It is free and open to everyone. For more information call 615-230-3799.

... or how to create mountains in less than two dozen steps.
I put this tutorial together at the request of a friend of mine, and thought it may be of interest here. This is an initial draft (I'm sure there are spelling mistakes and other brainfarts; I've got a cold and it's getting late) but I thought I'd put it up for review.
This tutorial presents techniques that are derived from RobA's 'Artistic Regional Maps' tutorial, and make maps that look like the attached.

Leading you to an educated decision.
10BASE2 (also known as cheapernet, thin ethernet, thinnet or thinwire) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable (RG-58 or similar, as opposed to the thicker RG-8 cable used in 10BASE5 networks), terminated with BNC connectors. For many years this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard, but due to the immense demand for high speed networking, the low cost of Category 5 Ethernet cable, and the popularity of 802.11 wireless networks, both 10BASE2 and 10BASE5 have become almost obsolete.

yeah, CDK is better than swordswoman, especially when you're swarmed by some fast units.
remove 1 soul pact, 1 shade, 1 overdose, sumer and warning knife. And replace them with 1 NWW, 3 copies non-char (or you can keep swordswoman and just add CDK), and a counter attack. you'll need counter attack in case you're heavily swarmed.
and i use heirrat broadsword ss in my mid-lawt (no anna), should be good if combo'd with anna.

Tailed Beast
this wiki
The tailed beasts (尾獣, bijū) are the nine titanic behaemoths within the Naruto series. They are differentiated by the number of tails they have, ranging from one to nine. The tailed beasts are living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as "Chakra Monsters" (チャクラのバケモノ, Chakura no Bakemono),[1][2] giving them immense reserves of especially strong chakra that far outmatches most shinobi. The tailed beasts' chakra is coloured red.
They also have the ability to communicate telepathically with each other and their jinchūriki, and possess several levels of consciousness. There is the initial level where the beast may appear in a habitat of sorts seemingly imprisoned in some way by whatever fūinjutsu that sealed them.[3][4] The second level is where all the tailed beasts can convene, free of any restrictions and communicate with one another. The jinchūriki are also able to enter there, but in order to do so, they must be completely linked with their tailed beasts.[5]
The tailed beasts are also able to freely transfer their chakra to whomever they choose, and as Kurama has noted, is a less complicated process for them than it is for humans.[6][7]
See also: Jinchūriki
Long ago before the founding of the ninja villages, during an era of endless wars between man, there existed the Shinju, a tree that was revered as a deity which bore a fruit once every thousand years. Although it was forbidden to consume the Shinju's fruit, it was eaten by Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who used the chakra infused into her body to end the wars plaguing the lands. However, after Kaguya gave birth to a son who inherited the same type of powerful chakra, the Shinju's desire to reclaim its stolen power caused the tree to assume a monstrous form of what many christened as the Ten-Tails. The furious Ten-Tails rampaged throughout the lands until Kaguya's son managed to single-handedly defeat the beast and sealed it within himself. This act, along with many other great deeds in his life, resulted with Hagoromo becoming revered as the Sage of the Six Paths.[8]
However, knowing that his death would unleash the Ten-Tails back into the world to continue its rampage and reclaim the chakra that mankind now possesses, the Sage separated the monster's chakra from its body before using Chibaku Tensei to seal the husk in what would become the moon.[9][10] From there, the Sage used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the chakra into nine fragments that are each given a physical form and name. Some time after their creation, the young tailed beasts were told that they were all still linked to one another despite being separate entities. The Sage also told them that would eventually become one again, yet not as they originally were, and that one shall appear at that time to show them what true power is.[11] Despite their close relation to one another, there is a significant amount of friction between the tailed beasts that caused them to part ways. One such cause was due to Kurama's belief that their strength was determined by the number of their tails.[12]
Over the centuries, countless humans failed to see the tailed beasts as sapient individuals with their own personalities and emotions, and because of their immense power, they sought the tailed beasts out as mere tools to be used or taken, a sentiment they absolutely detest.[13] By the time of the formation of the shinobi villages, after his victory against Madara Uchiha in the Valley of the End, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, used his Wood Release techniques to capture and give several tailed beasts to the other shinobi villages as peace treaties, in order to stabilise the balance of power between them.[2] However, the villages had trouble containing the beasts themselves and they began to run wild, so the villages instead moved to seal the tailed beasts within humans.
Madara, later revealed to have survived the altercation, had obtained Hashirama's DNA — his true purpose for the encounter.[14] Integrating Hashirama's DNA into his wounds,[15] Madara awakened the Rinnegan shortly before the end of his natural lifespan. With it, he was able to summon the vessel of the Ten-Tails from the moon.[16] However, using artificial means to expand his life,[17] Madara was unable to carry out his plan to revive the Ten-Tails. As such he passed on this task to a young Obito Uchiha who had come to share his view on the world after Rin Nohara's death.[18]
With the help of Akatsuki, by the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, seven of the nine tailed beasts had been sealed into the statue.[19] Irked by the slow progress of the plan, assuming the identity of Tobi to oversee the matters and converting reincarnated hosts into his personalised Six Paths of Pain, Obito accompanied by the statue entered the battlefield to obtain the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei which contained the Gold and Silver Brothers.[20] Despite not having sealed the last remaining two tailed beasts entirely — only possessing portions of their power, Obito decided to begin the plan as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path undergoes a painful regeneration into the Ten-Tails.[21][22] When Madara realised the situation, he attempted to rectify this.[23] Despite Naruto and Killer B's attempt to destroy the Demonic Statue while in mid-transformation, it was successfully restored into the Ten-Tails, albeit in an incomplete form for a while before reaching its matured state.[24]
However, the tailed beasts used in the Ten-Tails' recreation transfered bits of their chakra into Naruto prior to Obito carrying out the process as the Ten-Tails sees them supporting the human in spirit as they all have recognise him as the youth that the Sage of the Six Paths foretold. Naruto and Kurama intend to release the tailed beasts sealed within the Ten-Tails once it was weakened enough. After Obito became its jinchūriki, the Ten-Tails assumes its true form to enact its host's desire while draining the chakra of those can it grasps in its branches.

Similar Cases
- In Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds, it features a creature called the Zero-Tails. Despite having a numerical tail name, it is not an actual tailed beast and it has characteristics that are quite different from them.
- In Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, Kurama has a Genjutsu World counterpart called the Black Nine-Tails (黒九尾, Kuro Kyūbi), who is sealed within the body of Naruto's alternate self, Menma. Menma creates and controls living entities composed of its chakra known as the Nine Masked Beasts.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles, there are five dragons known as the Genryū, each possessing one of the five chakra natures. If all the Genryū are combined, they become the Light Dragon.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive, there is the Three-Headed Guardian Beast, guardian of Yumegakure which, like the tailed beasts, is a living form of chakra.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ninja Destiny 3, there are three masked beasts (仮面獣, kamenjū) featured in the game, which like the other tailed beasts (that have been featured in the game) can be fought via Beast Battle Mode.
- According to some, the immense strength that the tailed beasts possess is tempered by their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively, thus when the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to better utilise their powers.[25] However, this was proven to be false.
- Despite all the tailed beasts gaining a name from the Sage of the Six Paths, only some such as Son Gokū refer to themselves by that name on a regular basis. Others, such as Kurama and Gyūki, prefer to refer to each other by the number of tails each possess.
- Because of the moon's origin and it being the holder of the Ten-Tails' body, tailed beast and subsequently their jinchūriki are effected by it, and much more so during a full moon.
- According to Gaara, Shukaku relishes the opportunity to kill anyone in sight at any time because of its innate rage and blood-lust, but especially so during the full moon.[26]
- In the anime, Fukai, during his time as Gyūki's jinchūriki, noted that he would have trouble sleeping at night, especially during a full moon and at one point was shown to have to suppress a partial manifestation of Gyūki's tail after he had been staring at the full moon. Fukai was also shown to take sleep pills to help with this side-effect of being a jinchūriki.[27]
- Several non-jinchūriki shinobi have been said to hold chakra levels, reserves or strength, comparable to that of a tailed beast. Such individuals include Kisame Hoshigaki, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, the Third Raikage, and A. In fact, the former has been given the moniker of Tailed Beast without a Tail (尾を持たない尾獣, O o Motanai Bijū, English TV: Tailless Tailed Beast).[28][29] In addition, Madara has claimed that the power of his final Susanoo is comparable to that of a tailed beast.[30]
- Shukaku is the only tailed beast shown to have control over a physical property rather than using a chakra-based element, and hasn't shown the characteristic red-chakra-shrouded Version 1 or Version 2 forms.
- Among the tailed beasts, only Kurama has been shown to be subject to the Summoning Technique.
- A tailed beast can "die" with its jinchūriki, if it is still sealed within them at the time of its host's death, but the beast itself will be revived later.[31][32][33]
- Since Rin Nohara died without having Isobu extracted, Isobu is the first known tailed beast to have "died" and revived.[34][35]
- In the manga, before Taka began working with Akatsuki, Akatsuki was said to have seven tailed beasts. In the anime, when Taka is sent to capture Gyūki, the group has only six, the seventh missing beast being Saiken to make room for an additional anime-only arc.
- In the anime, the six tailed beasts that were used as Obito's Six Paths of Pain, all shared a voice actor with one of each other's respective jinchūriki.

It was a time of remembrance and awareness in Colorado Springs, one day after learning of the loss of abducted Jessica Ridgeway from Westminster.
The loss of Jessica touched the heart of one mother in our own community, so she asked other families to join her in a balloon launch, to pay tribute to the little girl and show support for Jessica's family.
Around 200 people filled America the Beautiful Park with balloons of all colors and shapes. Some had messages such as "God Bless You."
Parents and children took a moment of silence before hundreds of balloons were released and flew away in the sky.
Families say they not only wanted to honor the life of the little girl, but send a message to the Ridgeway family that they are not alone during this tragedy.
"What a neat way to express ourselves and the support to this family than seeing all the balloons and all the people that were here...as we released the balloons, it was just a great celebration and honor of Jessica's life," said an emotional Stacy Jacobs. Jacobs is a mother who organized the event.
"It happened so close to here, and because we have kids I find it very important to show them that there is good in this world, and out of bad there comes good, and we can come here and celebrate her life, and they think were sending her balloons up in heaven," said Mikaila Moore.
People also wrote special messages of support to the family in a book that will be given to them.
They also raised donations to help Jessica's loved ones out during this tragic time.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - For the third time in less than a week, a Florida driver was caught allegedly driving under the influence with a child in the car.
10-year-old child in St. Augustine
Meredith Davis, 23, was stopped near The Shores in St. Augustine after dispatch received reports of a possibly impaired driver. During the stop, deputies stated in a report from the St. John's County Sheriff's Office that Davis appeared to be on some sort of narcotic. Davis gave permission for deputies to search her car and they found crack cocaine in a Tylenol bottle, four unidentified pills in a sandwich bag and used needles inside a make-up bag. A 10-year-old child was also in the car with Davis when she was pulled over.
Davis was transported to Flagler Hospital to be medically evaluated after she allegedly admitted to deputies she had injected crack cocaine three hours before hitting the road. Once cleared, Davis was booked into the St. Johns County Jail and charged with possession of cocaine and drug equipment. The 10-year-old girl is listed as the daughter of Davis' boyfriend in the report and was released to family.
Only a day later, a mother in Volusia County was accused of driving drunk with a child in the car.
11-year-old child in Volusia County
Christy Bostic-Petrain, 38, was arrested about 1:45 a.m. Monday after a witness in the Walmart parking lot on State Road 44 allegedly saw her drink a beer, then speed away with an 11-year-old boy in the vehicle. "There's a lady in the car next to me who is totally intoxicated. She's sitting here drinking beer," said the 911 caller. "She's sitting there drinking a beer the entire time her kid's in the store and she's spilling it. She smoked her cigarette backwards and she didn't even know."
Deputies spotted Bostic-Petrain allegedly driving erratically and pulled her over. Bostic-Petrain failed field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer test and deputies said she admitted she did something stupid.
Her son was turned over to a relative.
5-year-old child in Duval County
Early Thursday morning, 5-year-old Kelsey Johnson was killed in a crash while traveling with her mother, 28-year-old Crystal Heidrick, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Heidrick was transported to UF Health Jacksonville in serious condition. At this point in the investigation, it is believed alcohol and speed were a factor in the deadly crash, FHP said. Heidrick consented to a blood draw, but has not been charged at this time.
According to the FHP report the Heidrick was traveling in the left emergency lane on I-295 Northbound and drove into the grassy center median when the emergency lane ran out. FHP said Heidrick over corrected, crossed the northbound lanes and struck a tree.

Music and Instrument Storage
Organized band room storage is crucial for a school environment. It prevents time consuming and frustrating mix ups. Whether you have a traveling quartet or a full orchestra, Hertz Furniture's band instrument storage cabinets will keep your instruments and music in top-performing condition.
Do I really need a sheet music cabinet?
Sheet music storage keeps your band or orchestra organized and in tune. Organized music ensures that every student musician can play their part in the harmony. When musicians have designated personal shelves, they don't have to waste time shuffling through piles and drawers to search out fledgling pages of the score. Instead, each band member can keep their music organized for easy retrieval. Sheet music storage saves time and frustration so there is more time to practice, rehearse and perform.
How can I give my students a place to store their instruments?
Sheet music isn't the only thing that needs to stay organized in the music room. Students will feel more relaxed throughout the day if they are sure that their instruments are secure. Great instrument storage provides a secure space so students don't have to carry around heavy cases all day or risk leaving expensive equipment out in the open.
Randal Instrument Storage units are a Hertz Furniture exclusive. These cabinets are designed specifically for musical instruments. Hertz Furniture has a selection of instrument storage cabinets with a variety of configurations. Cabinets come with either solid or grille doors, both of which have their benefits. Solid doors keep oboes, saxophones or french horns safe from prying eyes and hands. Grille doors provide ventilation to the equipment and make it easy to identify cabinet contents. Students can simply peek inside the compartments and find their instruments rather than spending time searching for the right one. Many of Hertz Furniture's instrument storage cabinets can accommodate a combination padlock. Units are also available with completely open shelving for super fast retrieval.
How can I fit different kinds of instruments in my cabinets?
Whatever your instruments are, there is a music cabinet out there that can meet your needs. Many units feature multiple compartments of either varying or equal sizes. That way you can choose the configuration based on the instruments in your band. You might choose smaller compartments for instruments that are taken apart between uses such as flutes, horns and saxophones, taller skinny cabinets for violins and violas, large guitar storage units or a combination of the options.
Is there a special way to store string instruments?
While instrument lockers can be used for individual string instruments, when you have a whole section of the orchestra that needs to be accommodated, specialized racks might be a better choice. You can choose a bass rack, cello rack or violin and viola rack which will fit these instruments perfectly. Racks provide a safe way to move multiple instruments from practice space to rehearsal room without the risk of dropping them.
Do you offer furniture financing?
Your student musicians practice hard, so you want to make it as easy as possible for them to start playing and enjoy the music. There are so many things to be gained from having music in the educational environment, that providing appropriate instrument storage is definitely worth the investment. If you need help budgeting for your sheet music storage or instrument lockers, contact Hertz Furniture's financing department to create a customized payment plan you can afford.
Hertz Furniture is here to help you with every step of your music room design process. From sheet music storage to instrument storage and beyond, we are prepared to provide you with expert advice that is tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for an individual piece or outfitting an entire band room, don't hesitate to consult the furniture experts.

I used to hate the entire Manning Family.
I saw Archie in the street one day and i said excuse me, and he smiled and said hi, and i said, I dont want to talk, I'm trying to get around you, you geriatric frick.
I used to hate the entire Manning Family. Then Eli won 2 superbowls and Peyton lost to us.
I really like payton though.
You know you're easily the minority in this city.
Brees is very generous, but it seems like there must be a better plan than to take a million of Saints cap money and give it away.
Couldn't Brees have taken a few million less and let Benson donate the difference to the Brees Foundation.

I was just messing with you. If you have an iPhone, you have an iPhone. I have had some free time on my hands lately and I am trying to keep myself entertained. Its all good.
I always use the lower case "i" and upper case second letter... however when I first typed "itouch" to someone early on, my iPhone used all lower case letters... after correcting the spelling to my liking 1 or 2 more times... my iPhone now suggests the second letter be capitalized when I type iPod, iPhone, iTouch, iPad etc....
There is a "learning" of your usage. If you sent several texts and emails with "i", it reinforces the rule that that is your default.
I think under General, you can "reset keyboard dictionary" and try to teach it correctly from scratch. This is probably his best bet. The normal behavior is to change i to I, mine did this right out of the box.

Alcoa Inc Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (AA)
TheStreet) -- Alcoa (NYSE: AA) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C- . The company's strongest point has been its a solid financial position based on a variety of debt and liquidity measures that we have looked at. At the same time, however, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Despite the weak revenue results, AA has outperformed against the industry average of 21.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 9.1%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- ALCOA INC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ALCOA INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.52 versus $0.24 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 50.0% in earnings ($0.26 versus $0.52).
- The share price of ALCOA INC has not done very well: it is down 22.30% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $263.00 million or 46.21% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 183.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $172.00 million to -$143.00 million.

Tron Wiki and Disney Wiki being Affiliates
I was wondering if you would want Tron Wiki to be Affiliated with Disney Wiki i would like a response ASAP please. Byzantinefire 17:45, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
- No thanks. -- WarBlade (talk) 05:00, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Umm.... why not? Byzantinefire 18:11, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Clu's Fleet of Armada Vessels
Can you give me their vehicle names & how many are There? there must be hundreds of them.
--JarodMighty (talk) 10:01, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Some of them may not even have names. -- WarBlade (talk) 11:57, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
no thats not what i meant i meant at the end of tron uprising episode 19 terminal how many ships are there? Clu's Throne ship, Different Command Ship and Recognizers: those names were already taken and those two ships with the armada were unnamed and they weren't appeared in tron legacy they briefly appeared in tron uprising when they entering argon city, look.
--JarodMighty (talk) 14:51, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
[IMAGES REMOVED - WarBlade]
- Count them. -- WarBlade (talk) 19:15, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
i think they're 622 ships. -- JarodMighty (talk) 18:57, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Trivia for the Light Cycle combatants
Greetings; I have a few questions on your reversion of some of my edits.
Having gone through the Light Cycle scene carefully, I find no inconsistency in the helmet numbers or the scoreboard names. While there are inconsistencies in the names on the Disc Wars scoreboard, which rotates and shifts as players derez, the Light Cycle scoreboard does not change throughout the match and no names from the Disc Wars sequence are used there; and the numbers on the competitors' helmets remain constant, allowing names and numbers to be consistently matched. (Young Man On Recognizer and the other Light Cycle competitors do not appear in the Disc Wars sequence so the inconsistencies there should not affect them.) I still left the names in the Trivia section in acknowledgment that they are difficult to read and it's therefore hard to consider them canonical, but it seems to me that they are consistent enough to at least be mentioned there.
Most of my edits today to the Young Man On Recognizer page were for the sake of accuracy, not just to change words around, and I never commit the latter type of change unless a page also needs the former type. The trivia section comparing this program to another Tron character was there already; while fictional characters often parallel each other in one way or another, it seemed to me that those two characters had enough parallels to warrant mention. Could some of these edits be reverted back?
Thanks, --Infiniteviking (talk) 19:50, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding the scoreboard names, scrutinise Jarvis's datapad in earlier scenes to see the flaw in the light cycle group. I tried doing what you're trying to do two years ago and hit the conclusion that those names are nothing more than names on a list.
- Many of your edits, which you describe as "accuracy" I would suggest fall under the heading of "verbosity". There is a point where articles start getting bogged down in details, and it would be better for overall readability if that didn't happen.
- The character comparison was fluff. Many wiki editors have drawn comparisons before and after seeing how bound by opinion these things get, it's easier to just erase them when they occur. -- WarBlade (talk) 03:27, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- ...Aw man. I guess any consistency in the background info was too much to hope for. Thanks for letting me know.
- I'll try to keep my edits more concise in the future. --Infiniteviking (talk) 22:35, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
The main page of this wiki was hacked by a seemingly Muslim user. I undid the edit and marked the files he uploaded for deletion. Protect the Main Page so only registered users can edit it, and ban the user. ToaZahrok (talk) 18:04, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
- It's not a hack.
- It's not a Muslim, it's a petty vandalism/trolling attempt.
- Thank you for reverting the vandalism, but in future please just alert me to the problem. I will assess it and deal with it accordingly. -- WarBlade (talk) 20:47, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, ok, He is now banned from all wiki's on the network. ToaZahrok (talk) 16:07, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Os ot possible to change my user name? Mr. D. (talk) 19:22, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, but you have to take the request to Wikia Central. It's a global change rather than just wiki-specific. -- WarBlade (talk) 20:28, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, Thanks. Mr. D. (talk) 20:33, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
I never made a mess i was just trying to make Disney Wiki better by improving it with better material and why are you so upset about this anyway the KHWiki admins were not as harsh as this so anyway please come to the Disney Wiki chat i think its better we discuss it there. Byzantinefire 22:37, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
Renew Tron Uprising
please felow admin Tron Uprising is on the brink of not getting another season, but there is a petition to renew it for another one. if it isn't any bother i would like it if you think about signing itTheBestGamer (talk) 17:42, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
Why are so unflexible about all this i posted a template saying its from Tron Wiki your totally unreasonable come here its more easier talk here and properly settle this once and for all and don't say its not your problem. Byzantinefire 16:23, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- "Unreasonable". The only one being unreasonable here is you. You're the one ignoring Wikia etiquette. You're the one stealing. You're the one who continues to steal after being asked politely to stop. -- WarBlade (talk) 19:47, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Tron is Disney everything here belongs to Disney so how are you any different. and you were not polite to me you want Disney Wiki to be limited. and its not stealing i made that template to satisfy you. Byzantinefire 19:51, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
Disney Wiki
Hello, I'm SilverFlight from the DisneyWiki. I do wish for the DisneyWiki to expand, but I also understand you want the keep the pages in the Tron Wiki than also having them in the DisneyWiki. I will not argue against your rules, but is there a way you can allow some information to appear on the DisneyWiki?
SilverFlight (talk) 01:29, April 3, 2013 (UTC)SilverFlight
- I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with Disney Wiki documenting TRON, its prequels, sequels, and spinoffs. What I object to is seeing hard work from here copied to the extent that it was. Even some templates were copied over, and most of the copying occurred without any attribution of the source, which as I've pointed out flies in the face of Wikia etiquette and published guidelines. As a result, I have asked that the offending content be reverted. -- WarBlade (talk) 01:42, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Then how about you contribute to Disney Wiki then. Byzantinefire 02:23, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
Hello, WarBlade! I am Uskok, one of the Admins of Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki. I see you have the same problem with Disney Wiki as I have. Could we join our forces to solve that problem?--Uskok (talk) 16:45, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
Hi Ushok. It's a tricky issue. To some extent we can copy content from other wikis, provided that appropriate attribution is included. Attribution is these cases seems to be in short supply and the level of content copying has been extreme in my opinion. Rest assured I'm working on it and I'll let you know what kind of outcome eventuates. -- WarBlade (talk) 23:10, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Hello again, I see the trouble you and Byzantinefire are in, and I understand that you don't want all the information copied onto the DIsneyWiki without attributing to the Tron Wiki. Byzantinefire made a template to show Creative Licensing (here), but how much information will you allow us to use? Or do you just want us to write down the information ourselves instead of copying?
SilverFlight (talk) 21:41, June 4, 2013 (UTC)SilverFlight
- I would prefer to see original content in any case that attribution was not supplied. -- WarBlade (talk) 23:00, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
Thank You
Thank you for welcoming me. I am not a program but a human being though. You are a wonderful program, Sir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.David Ngin Sian Pau (talk • contribs)
- Hi, and welcome. What you saw on your talk page was an auto-generated welcome message, but welcome to the Tron Wiki all the same. :) -- WarBlade (talk) 23:10, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
Disney Wiki Affiliates part 2
I still think you should consider the affiliates idea i had for this wiki DisneyWiki:Affiliates i would very much like to have the Tron Wiki wordmark on this page. (Byzantinefire 04:08, April 12, 2013 (UTC))
- Your suggestions were rejected the moment you started wholesale copying of this wiki and others without attribution. Your persistence with this issue will no longer be tolerated. -- WarBlade (talk) 04:17, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
- User's on Disney Wiki can't come up with better material and besides i like your wiki wordmark and all you have to do is put the Disney Wiki wordmark on the main page of Tron Wiki. Byzantinefire 14:06, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Doesn't this count as attribution Byzantinefire 14:11, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
I would like to become an admin on this wiki. My work with images and expanding articles and galleries could be of assistance to this wiki. Any chance I can work here? Fastcar900 (talk) 17:49, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, it's the images that that are a problem. There are simply too many of them in some subjects, hence the reason why the gallery sub pages were created, and in some cases locked down. What the Tron Wiki really needs is more writers and a much lower rate of image uploads.
- As far as sysops are concerned, the Tron Wiki does not need any more at this time. If it did, candidates would be considered on content authoring. Another sysop might be needed if we ever see another TRON sequel. -- WarBlade (talk) 22:37, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
Can you please unban Byzantinefire? He was just trying to make this wiki a friend of Disney Wiki. -- Max 17:28, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- That account was used to copy content from multiple wikis without displaying any kind of attribution, and was then used to pester people into supporting the wiki where the transgressions occurred, after the initial attempts had been rejected. The block will expire naturally. -- WarBlade (talk) 21:49, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
Main page
- Increased width of right column boxes to the new 330px format.
- Increased width of twitter feed; modified twitter feed to "fit in" better with main page appearance.
- Started adjusting background image for new wider content area format, decided to take a shot at creating a new background with a more up to date feel per the end of Tron: Legacy. This background can be seen on any of my user pages.

Affiliating this wiki with Disney Wiki
Would you like to have this wiki affiliated with Disney Wiki? --Lightening McQueen (talk) 17:44, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Due to the rampant breaches of protocol conducted by User:Byzantinefire on the Disney Wiki, I'll say no. -- WarBlade (talk) 21:24, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
- You don't understand real protocol all wiki's material should be allowed freely and without inhibition. Byzantinefire (Byzantinefire) 21:34, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
- And I've already told you, Byzantinefire, that your harassment is as unwelcome as your posting behaviour. -- WarBlade (talk) 21:41, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
Track Title

- It's been a while since I've seen it, but you might be after the bombastic battle track titled C.L.U. or the ethereal one after that titled Arrival. -- WarBlade (talk) 22:59, July 29, 2013 (UTC)
Ma1a/Ma2a Article Merge proposal
I want to ask if we can merge Ma1a and Ma2a with the Ma3a page to prevent cluttering? It seems pointless to have extra pages like that. Orangeblinky (talk) 20:41, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Between the status quo and your proposal, I can't really see a clear advantage either way. Perhaps try starting a blog to find out what other contributors here think. I'm neither for nor against your proposal at this point, but I'd like to get a sense of community opinion before moving on the idea. -- WarBlade (talk) 03:17, August 2, 2013 (UTC)
Admin Proposal
Warblade...I proposal to become A new admin member of Tron Wiki...Can i...Pretty please?
Because i been waited for this moment after 6 years of joining tron wiki (As: Chunkyman2000, TheStarlightTrain, Chunkyman20000, Chunkyman4000, Sledgehead2000, Chunkyman40000, Shadaloo2000) and waiting. and now i wanted to be what i want to be.
--JarodMighty (talk) 00:14, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
- No Jarod. You have a lot of maturity to build before you're ready for a role like that. Another admin most likely won't be needed until another TRON movie releases anyway. -- WarBlade (talk) 12:47, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
tumblr apologize
sorry it wasn't that it's because i found them from the website: tumblr - i need to find the same picture with picture size (example: 1280x1080) and i haven't got time to renamed them because i can't came up with the idea of naming them and i can't put them in page galleries because they locked protected. here's the website link where i found them but find production pics & concept arts of TRON, TRON: Evolution, TRON: Uprising and TRON: Legacy, but not fanart: http://www.voxeljello.tumblr.com and a bonus - TRON: Uprising HD Screencaps but it updates once a day every week: http://www.tucatalog.tumblr.com --JarodMighty (talk) 09:06, August 29, 2013 (UTC)
Discovery Revealed
the man who appear in the vfx trailer turns out to be an actor played as A Runaway Program was David "Shark" Fralick.
Last week on saturday the 14th in my country England in london i went to forbidden planets and a celebrity was there i saw him with my very own eyes "Bruce Boxleitner Was There" and he knows about the petition because i told him.
Why don't we add the TRON Pop up shop page because it was involved with the promotional coming for tron legacy it only used in culver city.
And there was were another two shows for ElecTRONica: in 2011 was Poreotics and in 2012 was Tron City's Dance Crew Challenge.
What about the appearances for ISO's - in Tron Evolution, betrayal & Legacy they have free will but in Tron Uprising: Dyson said: "they were never written and they serve no purpose" they're similar to the stone age cave man appearances they wear black nearly clothless and see their white skin and their white circuitry.
And when i created the Tron's Security Team page i can't think of the biography because i can't copy and make the same like Recognizer Prisoners. -- JarodMighty (talk) 10:40, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
