I'm a software engineer but no strong desire to play with my phone a lot (beyond getting apps).
Here's what I found:
I went to the Cyanogen website and found a list of features. But not even the ones that seem the most useful seem that compelling:
- Control focus of camera by touching the screen.
- Overclock processor
- Change the theme, background color (green/red to protect night vision :)
Am I missing something?
The risks include: * Potentially difficulty with installing some apps like Gmail. (Risk seems small but spending a half hour (hopefully) fixing such a problem would be enough to dissuade me from moding.

SOUTHWEST HARBOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Many people headed to Southwest Harbor on Tuesday trying to lay their claims to one valuable housing development there.
The Village at Oceans End went up for auction late Tuesday morning. The 47-acre condominium and development project has about 37 luxury home sites.
Starting at 11 a.m. people were able to place their bids for the entire complex. They were able to do that in person and online. Officials with the company auctioning off the property said they were getting interested calls from people around the country but buying it was sure to come at a high price tag.
Southwest Harbor values the project at about $2 million. Just to take part in the auction on Tuesday all bidders had to make a deposit of $100,000.

After Henry took his dead brother Arthur's bride, he was propelled into the limelight and the foundations were laid for one of the most spectacular reigns in English history. He was the perfect Renaissance prince, but his first wife Katherine of Aragon's failure to produce a male heir brought out his darker side and led to his dismantling of the established church in England. He looted its posessions and set himself up as an absolute monarch. By the time of his death, he had married six times to try to maintain his own magnificent dynasty.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers first gained international attention for his starring role opposite Ewan McGregor, Christian Bale, and Toni Collette in Todd Haynes' VELVET GOLDMINE (1998). Rhys Meyers' daring performance as ex-glam rocker Brian Slade garnered him a London Film Critics Circle Award nomination. Since then, Rhys Meyers has landed leading roles opposite today's hottest film actors and directors, and has emerged as one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men.
Recent film credits include SHELTER (2010), THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI (2008), and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III (2006).
In 2006, Rhys Meyers received a Golden Globe® Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his portrayal of the young Elvis Presley in the CBS television miniseries ELVIS. In addition to this honor, he received an Emmy® nomination. The flawless portrayal of The King by a young Irish actor floored critics and audiences alike.
In 2006, Rhys Meyers also earned critical acclaim for his role in the Woody Allen film MATCH POINT, which was nominated for three Golden Globes®, including Best Picture. MATCH POINT, which co-starred Scarlett Johansson, debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005, with Rhys Meyers winning the festival's Chopard Trophy for Male Revelation.
Rhys Meyers is also recognized for his role as the girls' soccer coach in the award-winning sleeper hit BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM (2002). Rhys Meyers' other film credits include starring roles in Oliver Stone's epic ALEXANDER (2004) and Mira Nair's VANITY FAIR (2004).
On the small screen, Rhys Meyers has starred in a wide range of long-form projects, both in the U.S. and U.K. Among his television credits are the SHOWTIME presentation of THE LION IN THE WINTER (2003), with Glenn Close and Patrick Stewart; Alfonso Arau's THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (2002); and GORMENGHAST (2000).
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Rhys Meyers made his film debut in A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE (1994), and then played the young assassin in Neil Jordan's biopic MICHAEL COLLINS (1996). His subsequent film credits include RIDE WITH THE DEVIL (1999); TITUS (1999); PROZAC NATION (2001); I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD (2003); THE EMPORER'S WIFE (2003), and FROM PARIS WITH LOVE (2010).

DALLAS (AP) - A spokesman for Southwest Airlines says planes are taking off again after a computer glitch grounded an estimated 250 flights.
Brad Hawkins tells The Associated Press that service resumed early Saturday, albeit far slower than usual because of lingering computer problems.
A spokeswoman says Southwest Airlines has cancelled at least 64 flights because of the computer glitch.
Michelle Agnew says 50 of the cancellations were flights scheduled for late Friday night in the western half of the country. The other 14 were Saturday morning flights scattered across the U.S. because crews were not able to get to airports in time to make the scheduled takeoffs.
The system-wide computer problem affected the airline's ability to do such things as conduct check-in, print boarding passes and monitor the weight of the aircraft. Flights in the air were unaffected.
Hawkins says around 250 flights were grounded, some when they were on the taxiway preparing for takeoff. Most of the disrupted flights were out of West Coast airports.
The Dallas-based airline conducts on average 3,400 flights a day.

Neal McCready
OXFORD, Miss. -- Cody Prewitt arrived in Oxford on Saturday believing he could earn a scholarship offer from Ole Miss. When the four-star athlete from Bay Springs (Sylva Bay), Miss., ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash and then posted a 32-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot broad jump, he figured that offer was imminent. Still, when it arrived, Prewitt admitted "it was kind of shocking. Everybody told me it coming, but it was still amazing to actually get it." Now that he has the offer he's been waiting on, Prewitt probably won't wait long to make a commitment. "(Ole Miss) is at the very top," Prewitt said. "I'm ready to commit to them. I'm going to wait and have a talk with (Ole Miss) Coach (Houston) Nutt about it sometime in the next couple of days. I like the atmosphere, the coaching staff, the way they coach. I love everything about it. I love the academics. I love everything about it." Prewitt worked on defense on Saturday before moving to offense on Sunday. "I was a little more comfortable on offense simply because I'm not used to playing the safety position as much," Prewitt said. HUTSON FEELS COMFORTABLE: Destrehan, La., four-star offensive lineman Ethan Hutson picked up an Ole Miss offer on Friday, and that made for a more comfortable camp experience, he said Sunday. "I still had to push hard," Hutson said. "But I just kept going, knowing it was going to be all right. I got beat in one-on-ones once and I was mad, but having that offer made camp easy, I think." Hutson, who measured 6-foot-4 and 289 pounds, is likely going to play center at the college level. If the amount of time spent with Hutson's family was any indication, Ole Miss coaches want him to spend those years in Oxford. Still, the Rebels' coaches applied no pressure over the weekend, Hutson said. "They told me to take my time, talk to some other people and if Ole Miss is the place, then Ole Miss is the place," said Hutson, who said he's hoping to make a decision in mid-July. "(Ole Miss) is pretty high," Hutson said. "Pretty high."MILLER MAKES MOST OF SHORT TIME: Fulton, Miss., quarterback Maikhail Miller didn't get to Oxford until Saturday night due to a delay at Dallas-Fort Worth airport Saturday afternoon. Still, Miller said he was pleased with his performance and happy he got a chance to work with four-star wide receivers Nickalos Brassell and Donte Moncrief."I like Nick's route-running, but Donte had the best hands," Miller said. Miller, who checked out UCLA, USC and Stanford last week, said he doesn't "really have any favorites" following his stay in Oxford. "I just went out there for training purposes and I got back here, so I don't have a leader," Miller said. "(Ole Miss' coaches) said I did really well."BRASSELL MAKES BONDS: Brassell had a smile on his face throughout the weekend, whether he was working at wide receiver or occasionally at cornerback. That could have been due to some friendships he was building with fellow campers Moncrief, Jermaine Whitehead, T.J. Worthy and Joseph Morrow. Still, Brassell said "everything's pretty much even. I'm just trying to enjoy (the process)." Brassell said he doesn't plan to announce a decision until closer to signing day in February.MONCRIEF GLAD HE CAME: At one point last week, it appeared Moncrief wasn't going to come to Ole Miss' camp. Rather, he was considering accompanying fellow four-star wide receiver Tobias Singleton on a weekend tour to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. "I'm glad I got to play with some of my friends -- Niko (Brassell), Jermaine Whitehead and T.J. Worthy. We got to get together." Moncrief said he felt he did well in Oxford, adding that he improved his route-running and his understanding of how to play against different coverage styles. Moncrief said he also strengthened his relationships with the Rebels' coaching staff, particularly wide receivers coach Ron Dickerson Jr. "I'm getting to know them better," Moncrief said. "They're telling me good things, and I like it." Moncrief said Ole Miss stands in a "strong" position in his recruiting. "They're doing a good job with my recruiting and showing me a lot of love," said Moncrief, who said he plans to wait until signing day to make a decision.HALL PLAYS NEW ROLE: Ole Miss is still recruiting Russellville, Ark., offensive tackle Mitch Hall following his commitment late last month, but over the weekend, Hall was doing some recruiting of his own, talking whenever he could to the Jackson (Callaway), Miss., duo of Aaron Morris and Justin Bell. "We were talking about it and I was trying to get them to come up here, but I don't know what's going to happen," Hall said. "I think they're looking at it. I think they're going to."WORTHY EXPECTING GOOD NEWS: Despite being somewhat hampered by a groin strain, Worthy said he felt he did what he needed to do earn a scholarship offer from Ole Miss this weekend. "The coaches love me and (Dickerson) said for me to call him tonight," Worthy said, adding that if he gets an offer from the Rebels, "they're my No. 1." Worthy, a 6-2, 180-pounder, hinted that Brassell and Moncrief told him they "wanted to come" to Ole Miss during some of their talks during the weekend. "If all of us came to the same school, I think we'd be unstoppable."MORRIS BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS: Morris, a four-star prospect, said Ole Miss is close to the top for his services, though Mississippi State and Alabama are clearly factors. "I like (Ole Miss') coaches," Morris said. "They've got great facilities, a great campus. I like the way it feels up here." Alabama, Morris said, wants him to visit Tuscaloosa on June 19.COKER HOPING FOR UM OFFER: Mobile (St. Paul's), Ala., quarterback Jacob Coker showed a strong, accurate arm for the second straight day on Sunday. However, he left Oxford without an offer, though he's hopeful one could still be coming his way. "They said they can't just throw one out there for a quarterback; they've got to see them all," Coker said. "So I'm just waiting until they figure out who's best." Coker said he's looking at Ole Miss, Tennessee, Louisville, Florida State and Duke. If the Rebels offered, Coker said, "they'd definitely be in the top two or three. That's for sure." Coker, who measured 6-foot-5 and 207 pounds with a 4.92-second 40-yard dash, said he would like to make a decision before his senior season begins if possible. DOLLARWAY CONNECTION STRIKING AGAIN?: Ole Miss has dipped into Dollarway High School in Pine Bluff, Ark., each of the last two years, signing tight end Ferbia Allen and wide receiver Jesse Grandy. The Rebels could be on the verge of doing it again, as they've stepped up their pursuit of running back Treyvon Daniels. The 6-foot-1, 270-pound Daniels ran a 4.7-second 40-yard dash on Saturday and caught the football well out of the backfield. "I really liked the camp and the coaches and I feel like I really performed well for the coaches," Daniels said. "I've been up here a couple of times. I really like the coaching. I love the coaching. Jesse just brags on them all the time." Daniels said the Rebels' coaches told him they were tempted to offer him Sunday but they want to "get a couple of questions answered" first. Daniels said the Rebels' coaches compared him to former Arkansas fullback Peyton Hillis, adding that they want to use him as a fullback who could do a variety of things in the offense. "As long as win," Daniels said, adding that the Rebels are competing with Arkansas, Tulsa, Kansas, Kansas State, LSU and Duke for his signature. If Ole Miss offered, Daniels said, "they'd be No. 1. There'd be high interest."GRISWOLD TRIES NEW POSITION: Dumas, Ark., quarterback Darion Griswold worked at tight end on Sunday, a precursor to a position switch he'll likely make next fall. "(Ole Miss) has been recruiting me hard," Griswold said. "They've been coming to the school and asking me if I would consider playing another position. I would like to play quarterback, but playing another position would be an experience and something I would do." Griswold said he's also hearing from Louisiana Tech and Mississippi State. ...More...

Just want to give a general thank you for the blog. I am in my fifties now (it comes upon one very suddenly!) and have been feeling like I have disappeared from view. I realise that it is up to me to make a reappearance and not feel that I shouldn't draw attention to myself or make a spectacle of myself, in fact I should do the exact opposite. Your blog is very inspirational, thanks once more

- Brief Bio
Tera Kirk grew up in a small Nebraska town called Papillion. Although she has a nonverbal learning disability that affects her visual-spatial skills (among other things), she's always loved video games. Her first game system was a Commodore Vic-20, which her mom bought at a garage sale for $20. With this little computer Tera learned to write Mad Libs in BASIC, to play chess and to steal gold from Fort Knox.
But then a friend introduced her to the seedy underworld of the Mario brothers and she spent her saved-up birthday and Christmas money to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Her mom didn't like the Nintendo at first, but The Legend of Zelda changed her mind. (When Tera got Zelda II: The Adventure of Link one Christmas, she suspected it was as much for her mother as for her).
Though she graduated from Agnes Scott College in 2002 and recently learned how to find the movie theater restroom by herself, Tera still loves video games. Far from being a brain-rotting waste of time, they've helped her practice spatial skills and discover new passions. Her love of games like Kid Icarus and The Battle of Olympus led to a degree in Classical Languages and Literatures. She thinks games have a place in discussions on disability and other cultural issues, and is excited to work with the like-minded staff at GameCritics.com.

Transformation usually involves the shedding of old ways, especially those that have become burdens. This practice proclaims that no matter who you are, no matter what has already happened to you, no matter what you have done, it is still possible to be and do something new.
Watching ice melt into water is a cue for me to practice transformation. When I witness the movement from sickness to health, I vow to be happy with all the changes I have undergone. Looking at photographs of myself when I was younger, I vow to be happy with all the changes I have undergone.

Formerly a follower of the doctrine of fascism, a vicious political philosophy of militarist totalitarianism. Nowadays, the word fascist refers to anyone who annoys you, even slightly.
Why exactly the fascists stopped strutting around in black shirts publicly assaulting their enemies, and started correcting the spelling of your e-mails and telling you off for not washing your coffee cup is unknown.
Fascists—Old vs. New
Old School Fascists
- Would assault political enemies, sometimes forcibly feeding them castor oil to symbolically "purge" the opposition and to humiliate the individual in question.
- Imprisoned and tortured those who disagreed with fascist doctrine.
- Invaded Ethiopia, Libya, Albania and Greece.
- Made deals with the Nazis, plotting to conquer the world.
- Coerced and controlled businesses and unions alike.
- Ruthlessly censored all forms of the media.
- Rebuilt whole societies on a foundation of fear and intimidation.
abtin rahelenajad is gay
Modern Fascists
- Insist that you order your meal before being seated.
- Want to see two forms of ID, at least one of which having a picture on it.
- Put you on hold.
- And then have the nerve to say that your call is important.
- Shush you at the movies.
- Hassle you when you take your time ordering at McDonald's
- Give you a parking ticket.
- Are even slightly to the right of you, politically. (Note that those who are slightly to the left of you are Communists)
- Don't even listen to your side of the story.
In recent years, the marauding bands of fascists, communists, Nazis, and socialists responsible for these and other outrages have largely vanished, with recent statistics showing that over 73% of minor irritations are now caused by terrorists.
Alternative views
On Wikipedia, a fascist is somebody with political views that the user that last edited the article on Fascism disagrees with. They commonly meet in the fascist discussion board Wikipedia:Talk:Fascism. There, they plan edits to the article, using political models with as few dimensions as possible. Then, anonymous users vandalize the article, a pattern that is not uncommon on Wikipedia.

Ecoregions of Malaysia
Borneo endemic Rafflesia plant in bloom, Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah @ C.Michael Hogan
The ecogegions of Malaysia include a number of distinct types of rainforests, all of which are sustained by the plentiful rainfall of this equatorial region of Southeast Asia. In additon there are Malaysian ecoregions which are termed swamp forests, that are essentially lowland rainforests which have peaty acidic soils and persistent presence of bogs; moreover, there is one ecoregion consisting of montane alpine meadows. On the coastal zone fringes there are other ecosystems which are based on mangrove swamp formations.
Malaysia, a nation in Southeast Asia, is composed of two parts, Peninsular Malaysia bordering Thailand and northern one-third of the island of Borneo (the southern two thirds of the island are part of Indonesia). Ecoregions are areas that: [1] share a preponderance of their species and ecological dynamics; [2] share similar environmental conditions; and, [3] interact ecologically in ways that are critical for their long-term persistence. Scientists at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), have established a classification system that divides the world in 867 terrestrial ecoregions, 426 freshwater ecoregions and 229 marine ecoregions that reflect the distribution of a broad range of fauna and flora across the entire Earth.
Borneo Lowland Rainforests
Borneo lowland rainforest, Sarawak River Basin. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Borneo lowland rainforest ecoregion is made up of the lowland dipterocarp forests of Borneo. Borneo_lowland_rainforests are the richest in the world and rival the diversity of New Guinea and the Amazon. With 267 Dipterocarpaceae species (155 endemic to Borneo), Borneo is the center of the world's diversity for dipterocarps. These forests are home to the world's smallest squirrel, the 11 centimetre pygmy squirrel, and the endangered orangutan. In northeast Borneo, populations of Sumatran rhinoceros and Asia's largest terrestrial mammal, the Asian elephant, still tenuously survive in the last pockets of forest. These forests contain the parasitic plant Rafflesia arnoldii, which produces the world's largest flower (up to one metre in diameter). These forests are globally outstanding for both bird and plant richness, with more than 380 birds and an estimated 10,000 plant species found within its boundaries. Unfortunately, these forests have been rapidly converted to oil palm plantations or commercially logged at unprecedented rates over the past ten years. In 1997-1998 fires intentionally set to clear the forest for commercial agriculture such as oil palm ravaged Kalimantan. If the current trend of habitat destruction continues, there will be no remaining lowland forests in Borneo by 2010.
Borneo Montane Rainforests
This Borneo montane rainforest ecoregion represents the montane forests in the central region of the island of Borneo and falls within the boundaries of all three nations with territory in Borneo: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. Montane forests are much cooler and moister than lowland forests.The Borneo montane rain forests can be likened to montane islands in a sea of lowland dipterocarp forests. This isolation has produced a unique and diverse set of montane species. Of Borneo's endemic bird species, twenty-three (73 percent) are montane. There are more than 150 mammal species in montane forests, making this ecoregion globally outstanding for mammal richness, and it is the most speciose montane rain forest found in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite this wealth of diversity, large tracts of Borneo's montane forests have not been explored to catalog the flora and fauna.
Borneo Peat Swamp Forests
The Borneo Peat Swamp Forest ecoregion is made up of the peat swamp forests along the western coasts of the island of Borneo, within the Malaysian state of Sarawak and Indonesian Kalimantan. Most of the peat swamp forests are associated with coastal areas, but two large areas of peat swamp forests occur around Lake Mahakam and Lake Kapuas. Although peat swamp forests are not as biodiverse as neighboring lowland rain forests, the Borneo Peat Swamp Forests are some of the most speciose peat swamp forests in the region. Peat swamp forests are a key habitat for the endangered Borneo endemic and unique proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus). They are also home to the world's most desirable aquarium fish, the arowana (Scleropages formosus).
Kinabalu Montane Alpine Meadows
The Kinabalu montane alpine meadows ecoregion represents the upper montane habitat on Mt. Kinabalu and the Crocker Range and the surrounding upland areas in the Malaysian state of Sabah (Borneo).The Kinabalu Montane Alpine Meadows are unique to the region in that they have been isolated from other mountain chains for millions of years. This is one of only two ecoregions in the Indo-Pacific region to be globally outstanding for both bird and mammal richness and endemism (the other ecoregion is the Eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests). This montane refuge supports a disjunct distribution of Himalayan, Australasian, and Indomalayan species. Although the apex of Mt. Kinabalu is devoid of vegetation, the slopes and surrounding area have an exceedingly rich flora of approximately 4500 species in more than 180 families with 950 genera. This represents one of the richest concentrations of endemic plant species in the world and is the only Asian example of tropical alpine shrublands with high levels of endemism. This ecoregion supports the greatest concentration of wild orchids on Earth, with more than 750 species in more than sixty genera. This number accounts for more than one quarter of all orchid species found in Malesia.
Myanmar Coast Mangroves
The Myanmar coastal mangroves ecoregion is found in the Irrawaddy delta, The Myanmar coastal mangroves are some of the most degraded or destroyed mangrove systems in the Indo-Pacific. The sedimentation rate of the Irrawaddy River is the fifth highest in the world. This is largely because of the deforestation that has occurred throughout central Myanmar. The mangroves have also been overexploited from forestry, agriculture, aquaculture, and development projects. The wild species have been severely reduced but hang on in isolated pockets. The mangrove flora consists of three separate regions: the Rakhine mangroves, Irrawaddy mangroves, and Taninthayi mangroves
Peninsular Malaysian Montane Rainforests
The Peninsular Malaysian montane rainforest ecoregion is made up of the montane moist forests in Peninsular Malaysia and southernmost Thailand. The Peninsular Malaysian montane rainforests are one of the last refuges for several of Asia's large characteristic species. These forests still support tigers, Asian elephants, gaur, tapirs, Sumatran rhinoceros, and the spectacular and endemic crested argus. Taman Negara Nature Reserve in central peninsular Malaysia is one of the largest reserves in the Indo-Pacific and provides an essential montane refuge and linkage area to the lowland forests.
Peninsular Malaysian Peat Swamp Forests
The Peninsular Malaysian peat swamp forest ecoregion represents the disjunct peat swamp forests in Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.The Peninsular Malaysian peat swamp forests, though not as diverse in species as the surrounding lowland rainforests, are home to many of Malaysia's endangered species. Asian elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros, tigers, clouded leopards, and Malayan tapir all inhabit these rapidly shrinking forests. The peat swamp forests of peninsular Malaysia have edaphic and vegetative characteristics similar to those in Sumatra and Borneo.
Peninsular Malaysian Rainforests
The Peninsular Malaysian rainforest ecoregion is made up of the lowland moist forests of peninsular Malaysia and the extreme southern part of Thailand.The Peninsular Malaysian rainforests ecoregion, with 195 mammal species, has the second most mammal species in the Indo-Pacific, behind the Borneo Lowland Rain Forests. Yet most of the wide-ranging or top carnivore species lead a tenuous existence in these biologically outstanding forests. The tiger, Asian elephant, Sumatran rhinoceros, Malayan tapir, gaur, and clouded leopard all fall into this category. As in many other tropical forests in this region, habitat loss and poaching are the two primary reasons for the decline in these and other species.
South China Sea Islands
Three archipelagos or island groups are included in the South China Sea Islands terrestrial ecoregion. These are Pratas (Dungsha) (20°42'N, 116°43' E), Paracel (Xisha) (16° N, 112° E), and Spratly (Nansha), which is the largest archipelago in the South China Sea. The Spratly Islands are scattered between 11°28' to 4° N and 109°55' to 117°50' E.This ecoregion encompasses several hundred islands, atolls, rocks, cays, banks, and reefs in three archipelagos of the South China Sea. Coral reefs are the predominant structure of these islands; the Spratly group contains over 600 coral reefs in total. Little vegetation grows on these islands, which are subject to intense monsoons. They do, however, provide important habitat for many seabirds, as well as green and hawksbill sea turtles. Unfortunately, the South China Sea Islands are still largely a mystery. Scientists have focused their research on the marine environment, while the ecology of the terrestrial environment remains relatively unknown. Ownership of many of the islands in this active commercial fishery and trade route is disputed. Political instability and the increasing industrialisation of neighboring countries has led to serious disruption of native flora and fauna, overexploitation of natural resources and environmental pollution. While land formations are numerous within this region, the majority of these are rocks, reefs, sandbanks, or other types of partially submerged landforms.
Sunda Shelf Mangroves
The Sunda Shelf Mangrove ecoregion is found on the island of Borneo and the east coast of Sumatra. The Sunda Shelf Mangroves are some of the most biologically diverse mangroves in the world. They are home to the unique proboscis monkey. Like other mangrove forests in the region, they are under intense threats from logging, shrimp farming, and agriculture conversion. The climate and physical conditions vary widely in this region, giving rise to a high diversity of plant and animal species found in these forests. However, the region generally has high humidity, seasonal wind and precipitation, high temperatures, and high annual rainfall. Tidal fluctuations have large variations over short distances.
Tenasserim-South Thailand Semi-evergreen Rainforests
The Tenasserim South Thailand semi-evergreen rainforest ecoregion encompasses the mountainous, semi-evergreen rain forests of the southern portion of the Tenasserim Range, which separates Thailand and Myanmar, and the numerous small ranges of peninsular Thailand. This ecoregion also includes the extensive lowland plains that lie between the peninsular mountains and until recent decades supported extensive lowland forest. The southern margin of this ecoregion is defined by the Kangar-Pattani floristic boundary, which separates Indochina from the Malesia region. The Tenasserim-South Thailand semi-evergreen rainforests cover the transition zone from continental dry evergreen forests common in the north to semi-evergreen rainforests to the south. As a consequence, this ecoregion contains some of the highest diversity of both bird and mammal species found in the Indo-Pacific region. The relatively intact hill and montane forests form some of the best remaining habitat essential to the survival of Asian elephants and tigers in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the lowland forests are heavily degraded, and many lowland specialists such as the endemic Gurney's pitta survive in a few isolated reserves.

Alternative fuel vehicles are making big headlines these days. With more concern than ever about the environment, and roller coaster rise and fall of gas prices, more and more people are turning to vehicles that run on alternative fuel. We've gathered information on the most popular types to help you understand how different alternative fuel vehicles work and the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision.
How hybrid cars work
Hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) are the first wave of alternative fuel vehicles to hit the road. By pairing an electric motor with a gasoline engine, hybrid cars provide benefits such as improved fuel economy, increased power, or additional auxiliary power for electronic devices and power tools.
Some of the advanced technologies typically used by hybrid cars include:
Regenerative braking. The electric motor found in some alternative fuel vehicles applies resistance to the drivetrain, causing the wheels to slow down. In return, the energy from the wheels turns the motor, which functions as a generator, converting energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity. A battery stores this electricity until needed by the electric motor.
Electric motor drive/assist. The electric motor in hybrid cars boosts power to the engine during acceleration, passing cars, or climbing hills. It augments performance when needed and allows hybrid cars to run on smaller, more efficient engines. In some hybrid cars, the motor alone provides power for low-speed driving conditions where internal combustion engines are least efficient.
Automatic start/shutoff. In some hybrid cars, the engine shuts off automatically when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts when the accelerator is pressed. This prevents wasted energy from idling.
How hybrid cars get such great gas mileage
It is no coincidence that the most fuel-efficient vehicles in some classes for this model year are hybrid cars. Hybrid cars combine the best features of the internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Hybrid cars can be configured to achieve a variety of different objectives, such as improving fuel economy, boosting performance, or providing electrical power to auxiliary loads such as power tools.
Like conventional vehicles, hybrid cars are primarily propelled by an internal combustion engine, but hybrid cars also convert energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity. This captured electricity is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor. The electric motor assists the engine when accelerating or hill climbing and low-speed driving conditions where internal combustion engines are least efficient. To prevent wasted energy from idling, some hybrid cars also automatically shut off their engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restart when the accelerator is pressed.
Unlike all-electric vehicles, hybrid cars now being offered do not need to be plugged into an external source of electricity to be recharged; conventional gasoline and regenerative braking provide all the energy the vehicle needs.
Three new hybrids for 2009

All figures cited were originally gathered and reported by www.fueleconomy.gov.
New energy tax credits for hybrids
Hybrids purchased or placed into service after December 31, 2005 may be eligible for a federal income tax credit of up to $3,400.
Consumers who placed new hybrids in service before 2006 may be eligible for a "clean fuel" tax deduction of up to $2,000.
Credit amounts begin to phase out for a given manufacturer once it has sold over 60,000 eligible vehicles.
Vehicles purchased after December 31, 2010 are not eligible for this credit. The information below is provided for those filing amended tax returns for previous years.

Diesel vehicles may be making a comeback. Diesel engines are more powerful and fuel-efficient than similar-sized gasoline engines (about 30-35% more fuel efficient). Plus, today's diesel vehicles are much improved over diesels of the past.
New diesel technologies have improved performance and efficiency, reduced tailpipe emissions, vibrations, and noise of diesel vehicles.
Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), available beginning in 2006, is cleaner burning and allows diesels to be equipped with more-effective controls for reducing particulates and smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
Biodiesel, a non-petroleum fuel produced from renewable sources, reduces tailpipe emissions and dependence on foreign oil.
Better performanceImproved fuel injection and electronic engine control technologies have
New engine designs, along with noise- and vibration-damping technologies, have made them quieter and smoother. Cold-weather starting has been improved also.
CleanerToday's diesels must meet the same emissions standards as gasoline vehicles, and advances in engine technologies, ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, and improved exhaust treatment have made this possible.
Although emissions of particulates and smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) are still relatively high, new "clean" diesel fuels, such as ultra-low sulfur diesel and biodiesel, and advances in emission control technologies will reduce these pollutants also.
Ultra-low sulfur dieselUltra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) replaced conventional diesel fuel starting in 2006. The new fuel will contain 97% less sulfur than conventional diesel—sulfur will be reduced from 500 parts per million (ppm) to 15 ppm.
ULSD is cleaner-burning, producing less particulate emissions in both older and new engines.
It also allows the use of improved exhaust treatment devices to reduce emissions of particulates and smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx). These devices can be "poisoned" by the sulfur in conventional diesel fuel.
BiodieselBiodiesel is a form of diesel fuel manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases. It is safe, biodegradable, and produces less air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel.
Biodiesel can be used in its pure form (B100) or blended with petroleum diesel. Common blends include B2 (2% biodiesel), B5, and B20. B2 and B5 can be used safely in most diesel engines. However, most vehicle manufacturers do not recommend using blends greater than 5%—using higher blends will void some engine warranties. Check with your owner's manual or vehicle manufacturer to determine the right blend for your vehicle.
Note: You should never fuel your vehicle with clean or used grease or vegetable oil that has not been converted to biodiesel. It will damage your engine.
Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are designed to run on gasoline or a blend of up to 85% ethanol (E85). Except for a few engine and fuel system modifications, they are identical to gasoline-only models.
FFVs have been produced since the 1980s, and dozens of models are currently available. Since FFVs look just like gasoline-only models, you may have an FFV and not even know it. To determine if your vehicle is an FFV, check the inside of your car's fuel filler door for an identification sticker or consult your owner's manual.
FFVs experience no loss in performance when operating on E85. However, since a gallon of ethanol contains less energy than a gallon of gasoline, FFVs typically get about 20-30% fewer miles per gallon when fueled with E85.
Ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel made by fermenting and distilling starch crops, such as corn. It can also be made from "cellulosic biomass" such as trees and grasses. The use of ethanol can reduce our dependence upon foreign oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
E10 (gasohol)
E10 (also called "gasohol") is a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline sold in many parts of the country. All auto manufacturers approve the use of blends of 10% ethanol or less in their gasoline vehicles.
E85, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, can be used in flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs), which are specially designed to run on gasoline, E85, or any mixture of the two. FFVs are offered by several vehicle manufacturers. To determine if your vehicle can use E85, consult your owner's manual or check the inside of your car's fuel filler door for an identification sticker.
CostCost varies regionally. It is cheaper than gasoline in some areas, such as the Midwest, and more expensive in others.
AvailabilitySeveral hundred filling stations in the U.S. sell E85, and that number is increasing rapidly. Visit the alternative fuel station locator for locations of service stations selling E85.
PerformanceNo noticeable difference in vehicle performance when E85 is used.
MPGFFVs operating on E85 usually experience a 20-30% drop in miles per gallon due to ethanol's lower energy content.
Natural gas, a fossil fuel comprised mostly of ethane, is one of the cleanest burning alternative fuels. It can be used in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) to fuel cars and trucks.
Dedicated natural gas vehicles are designed to run on natural gas only, while dual-fuel or bi-fuel vehicles can also run on gasoline or diesel. Dual-fuel vehicles allow users to take advantage of the wide-spread availability of gasoline or diesel but use a cleaner, more economical alternative when natural gas is available. Since natural gas is stored in high-pressure fuel tanks, dual-fuel vehicles require two separate fueling systems, which take up passenger/cargo space.
Natural gas vehicles are not produced commercially in large numbers—the Honda GX CNG is the only new vehicle available in the U.S. However, conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles can be retrofitted for CNG.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
Propane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a clean-burning fossil fuel that can be used to power internal combustion engines. LPG-fueled vehicles produce fewer toxic and smog-forming air pollutants. LPG is usually less expensive than gasoline, and most LPG used in U.S. comes from domestic sources.
No LPG-fueled light-duty passenger cars or trucks have been produced commercially in the U.S. since the 2004 model year, but gasoline and diesel vehicles can be retrofitted to run on LPG in addition to conventional fuel. The LPG is stored in high-pressure fuel tanks, so separate fuel systems are needed in vehicles powered by both LPG and a conventional fuel such as gasoline.
Hydrogen (H2) is being aggressively explored as a fuel for passenger vehicles. It can be used in fuel cells to power electric motors or burned in internal combustion engines (ICEs).
It is an environmentally friendly fuel that has the potential to dramatically reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but several significant challenges must be overcome before it can be widely used.
Produced domestically. Hydrogen can be produced domestically from several sources, reducing our dependence on petroleum imports.
Environmentally friendly. Hydrogen produces no air pollutants or greenhouse gases when used in fuel cells; it produces only NOx when burned in ICEs.
Fuel cost & availability. Hydrogen is currently expensive to produce and is only available at a handful of locations, mostly in California.
Vehicle cost & availability. Fuel cell vehicles are currently far too expensive for most consumers to afford, and they are only available to a few demonstration fleets.
Onboard fuel storage. Hydrogen contains much less energy than gasoline or diesel on a per-volume basis, so it is difficult to store enough hydrogen onboard a vehicle to travel more than 200 miles.
Other challenges include fuel cell performance, customer acceptance, and hydrogen transport and bulk storage.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are propelled by an electric motor (or motors) powered by rechargeable battery packs. Electric motors have several advantages over internal combustion engines (ICEs):
The down side: batteries
EVs face significant battery-related challenges:
Researchers are working on improved battery technologies to increase driving range and decrease recharging time, replacement frequency, weight, and cost. These factors will ultimately determine the future of EVs.
Although they are not expected to reach the mass market before 2010, fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) may someday revolutionize on-road transportation.
This emerging technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy use and harmful emissions, as well as our dependence on foreign oil. FCVs will have other benefits as well.
A radical departure
FCVs represent a radical departure from vehicles with conventional internal combustion engines. Like battery-electric vehicles, FCVs are propelled by electric motors. But while battery electric vehicles use electricity from an external source (and store it in a battery), FCVs create their own electricity. Fuel cells onboard the vehicle create electricity through a chemical process using hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air.
FCVs can be fueled with pure hydrogen gas stored onboard in high-pressure tanks. They also can be fueled with hydrogen-rich fuels; such as methanol, natural gas, or even gasoline; but these fuels must first be converted into hydrogen gas by an onboard device called a "reformer."
FCVs fueled with pure hydrogen emit no pollutants; only water and heat; while those using hydrogen-rich fuels and a reformer produce only small amounts of air pollutants. In addition, FCVs can be twice as efficient as similarly sized conventional vehicles and may also incorporate other advanced technologies to increase efficiency.
Meeting challenges together
Before FCVs make it to your local auto dealer, significant research and development is required to reduce cost and improve performance. We must also find effective and efficient ways to produce and store hydrogen and other fuels.
Automakers, fuel cell developers, component suppliers, government agencies, and others are working hard to accelerate the introduction of FCVs. Partnerships such as the DOE-led FreedomCAR initiative and the California Fuel Cell Partnership have been formed to encourage private companies and government agencies to work together to move these vehicles toward commercialization.
FreedomCAR is a new cooperative research effort between the DOE and the U.S. Council for Automotive Research (Ford, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler) formed to promote research into advanced automotive technologies, such as FCVs, that may dramatically reduce oil consumption and environmental impacts. FreedomCAR's goal is the development of cars and trucks that are:
California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP)The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a collaboration of auto companies, fuel providers, fuel cell technology companies, and government agencies demonstrating fuel cell electric vehicles in California under day-to-day driving conditions. The goals of the partnership are to test and demonstrate the viability of FCVs and related technology under real-world conditions, move them toward commercialization, and increase public awareness.

An iconic bamboo handle and detachable leather shoulder strap complete the look of this must-have bag. The bottom corners show light wear. The double-faced leather of the shoulder strap is beginning to split. There are minor marks on the exterior and hardware.

It's a great start - you've got continent shapes and a basic idea of where some features should go. I would get this all into photoshop now, so you can start messing around with layout and position in layers, rather than needing to re-draw and/or erase things every time you want to move a geographical feature.
so looking at your top map, there's something to remember that's easy, right out of the gate: Water flows down hill. You've got two long rivers that almost parallel the east and west coasts, but no mountains along those coasts. The easy way to figure out where the rivers go, because of this rule, is to wait until you've got the terrain elevations figured out. The water will flow down hill from there.

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
Armando Mendez is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the tertiary antagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
He and his brother Diego Mendez are the two most powerful drug kingpins and well known philanthropists in Vice City circa 1984, and the heads of their own crime organization, The Mendez Cartel when the events of the game takes place. The brothers are of Bolivian descent.
Armando was voiced by Yul Vasquez.
In GTA Vice City Stories, Armando and Diego are first mentioned in mission Brawn of the Dead by Jerry Martinez, telling Victor Vance that the shipment of coke that he and his brother Lance had stolen from them belonged to the Mendez Brothers.
Later, Armando and Diego have Vic and Lance brought to them, where they tell them Martinez stole the shipment, and use some pictures of Martinez with the cops and a fake license to prove this to the Mendez's. Vic and Lance keep working for the Mendez brothers until Armando decides to take over all of the Vance's businesses by dumping them in a burning oil storage and leaving them for dead.
Vic and Lance escape the burning oil storage and seek protection from Ricardo Diaz, who eventually helps them destroy Armando's bonds with a Domestobot. In revenge for the destruction of their bonds, Armando has Louise Cassidy-Williams, Victor's girlfriend kidnapped. In the process of rescuing Louise, Lance is heavily injured, and Louise is killed by Armando Mendez. A vengenceful Vic then confronts a flamethrower wielding Armando and guns him to death. Vic Vance later kills Diego as well.
Compared to Diego, Armando is more charismatic, and he is the one with greater control of the organization. They also own a Domestobot, which was destroyed by Armando when Victor took control of it and destroyed his bonds.
Character design
Armando seems to be based on Scarface's Alejandro Sosa, as he bears a striking resemblance to him both in appearance and personality. The Mendez brothers' names are a play on Argentinean soccer star, Diego Armando Maradona.
Murders commited
- Louise Cassidy-Williams - Kidnapped and killed to lure Lance and Vic to a trap.
- Armando Mendez is primarily based on Alejandro Sosa, the main antagonist of the film Scarface. Furthermore, he and his brother are possibly based on the characters of the 'Diaz Brothers', a pair of fraternal drug dealers who are mentioned in the 1983 film Scarface and physically featured in it's 2006 video game adaption.
- Interestingly in the mission "Light My Pyre " if the player is to use the flamethrower against Armando he will not take any form of damage, however this may be a simple glitch .
- According to Armando, he and his brother are utilitarians, as well as Diego being a fan of Plato's work while Armando is a fan of Aristotle's work. This is true; Utilitarism defends that mankind should always look towards finding pleasure, while both brothers have become drug dealers for personal gain.
- In beta version of Last Stand, Vic originally also had to kill Armando Mendez, not just Jerry Martinez and Diego Mendez.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- Violent crime is on the rise in Fort Wayne, and nowhere is it more evident than in the number of homicides the city and Allen County have seen this year -- 33-killings, and it's only the first part of October.
Police Chief Rusty York says he's "disturbed" at the numbers, and also admits there's no quick solution.
33 people in Allen County have been killed by someone else this year, 31 of them within the city limits.
But there are exceptions to which of those cases are sent to the FBI for the Uniform Crime Report.
One death in the city was a justified self-defense, and four were police action shootings.
So the city's official homicide tally, according to national standards, is 26.
Last year's total was 22, with 18 the year before that.
And Chief York says a small number of people are responsible for the majority of the shootings.
"When we have a shooting overnight and I come in the next morning to be debriefed, quite frankly, it's a name we've heard many times before. And, you know, people might ask 'well, why aren't they in jail?' And we do our best to do that, but again, I mean, if you have no witnesses coming forward, it's a challenge," York says.
Chief York did say that the community had been more cooperative earlier this year than in years past, but that the cooperation from witnesses lately has not been as strong.
He insists that most homicides are gang and drug-related. Activities that the vast majority of residents are not involved in.
Also, he says one homicide victim was probably the perpetrator in two other homicides, which would solve those two cases if detectives get enough information.

Getting Something Off My Chest
Posted by Miriam | Filed under Musings
We had a gorgeous, antique chest in our living room that both my husband and I loved. It was gorgeous and old and had tons of character and was multi-functional; acting as both much needed storage and extra seating space.
So what happened to it? Well, it got moved upstairs to our bedroom when we put up our Christmas tree this year. And it just so happens that my dorm-room-grandma-chic-minimalist husband who would live with just a rocking chair and a bed pushed up against the wall if he had his druthers, LOVES the chest up in our bedroom at the foot of our bed. Not one to argue the one time a year my husband actually makes a design decision that I also love, I have acquiesced and the chest is now permanently staying in the bedroom.
Of course, that means that we have a gaping need for a new chest in our living room. As previously mentioned, it not only acts as extra seating but is instrumental in corralling the mess of toys our son has collected over the short 18 months of his life.
We did some online searching last night to look for a bench and didn't really see anything that struck our fancy…then we remembered to check out the "kid" sites for all of our old favorites: Pottery Barn Kids, RH Baby and Child, Land of Nod, etc…and while we saw a couple of options that would work great, I think we both were still holding out for the possibility of finding something with a little bit more character.
(above – from RH Baby and Child and Pottery Barn Kids, respectively)
Ever the armchair shoppers, we checked out eBay and Craigslist to no avail…until this morning when I remembered my good friend Etsy. WHY do I always go there last? Just one quick search brought up so many beautiful, original options. Like this one from Etsy seller Todd Manring. The trunk is made from reclaimed barnwood and he will customize it with any stenciling you want.
Also from Todd are these beautiful 22x22x22 cubes. These would be much more versatile in the space and could potentially fit around our bay window like faux banquet seating.
Of course, there is no shortage of cedar chests on Etsy, but this one from TNGWoodcrafters is particularly pretty.
I also really liked this coffee table option from Modern Rust. I particularly appreciate that you can use the flip up storage for items that you don't use that often, and then potentially store baskets underneath for easier access storage.
Modern Rust also makes this versatile storage bench that we could use at the foot of our bed and potentially move the original chest back downstairs.
I was so pleased (as always) to find so many great options on Etsy. It's a little bit like having a flea market with the best hours and easiest parking ever!
What was your latest Etsy purchase? And while I'm asking questions…am I the only one with a husband that actually cares about how the house is furnished?

Comments about Tennis Tutor:
Owned one for 18 years. Great for practice when a playing partner is not available.
I hadn't used it for several years and the batteries died, but after replacing the batteries and a little cleaning it works great. It is a little heavy and the attached wheels are too small to roll it from the car to the tennis court. I use a portable luggage cart to carry it and a filled ball hopper to the courts. Battery operation is needed for public courts (AC outlets are pretty rare).

product is kind of heavy and it tilts if rolled in grass or going to fast but I like it because it is a great way to improve and become an all court player. I enjoy using the tennis tutor and my volley game has improved a lot.

Comments about Tennis Tutor:
Product works as described. Great practice partner. More consistent than a hitting partner. Some of the external parts are a little fragile. I have used for 2 years without any mechanical problems. Will hit soft or hard with varying degrees of topspin.
I am very happy with the product. The battery life is also very good and the machine is not noisy like the Lobster.

I think what the sage of six paths was not the Izanagi used because the Izanagi shapes reality but in a way that escapes death ... And in consequence he loses an eye, and the enemy is like a Genjutsu. But the sage of six paths did not lose an eye, and since he has Uchiha blood would lose, because losing an uchiha, so I believe that the Rikudō created from a Onmyōton jutsu characteristic who made the same element, but only in already existing things, Then just think they should investigate more about the real name of the technique, but I agree to approve this page. -LosErmanos - Talk - Contributions 04:02, January 5, 2011 (UTC) Excuse me, Tankoubon (vol.54) Malaysia also issued a translation if the translation in English sounds like this: 'Izanagi actually being used as a technique 'Creation All things' that you mentioned just The Sage of The Six Path's!' and Sounds very similar to the translation from Viz's; 'The Izanagi Jutsu is simply the practical application of what you already know as The Sage of The Six Path's 'Creation of All Things.22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:46, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
Anime Picture
I don't watch the anime but shouldn't they have already had this in the anime or is my timeline messed up? Joshbl56 18:26, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
It was first shown in Tobi vs Konan fight. Not even Kushina stuff happened yet in anime. --Elveonora (talk) 19:00, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. Thank you Elveonora. Didn't know they were THAT far behind. Joshbl56 19:06, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, there are "A LOT" of filler lately going on for reasons unknown ... now manga is like 2+ years ahead, lol :( So no God's all seeing eye anytime soon --Elveonora (talk) 19:12, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
- They're adding filler for the same reason most anime add filler: so it doesn't overtake the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:03, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
But manga is 2 more years ahead already 0_o thats why it makes no sense. --Elveonora (talk) 21:07, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
- What do you mean "two more years ahead"? The anime is at the Confining the Jinchūriki Arc and right after that is the Shinobi World War Arc... how is that two years ahead? I'd like to think that they're perfecting the fights and scenes to come so we don't have a repeat of circa Shippūden #166+ *cringes*^_^--Cerez365™ 21:38, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
- They probably add some filler sequences to the fights, like they did with Sasuke and Danzō. As long as they do what they did with Six-Tails Naruto and Deva Path. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:14, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
You guys don't like 166? But his pain is far greater than our's. :3 Skitts (talk) 22:38, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
@Cerez, chapter 492 happened 2 years ago already, anime is not there yet cause they are fighting giant animals, pirates and ghosts ... --Elveonora (talk) 22:44, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
You're forgetting that the anime can get through more content in one episode than a single manga issue can. Skitts (talk) 22:45, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
I'd assume you mean two year out time which as Skitts said can be covered in a few episodes if they wanted to. Also, Skitts... lolno =\--Cerez365™ 23:00, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
how could you know for sure that creation of all things is rinnegan based techniques ? because in chapter 510 there was an interference between izanagi and creation of all things , and izanagi is sharingan based technique . --Chaos90 18:57, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Izanagi is an ocular based technique if the Sage was able to use it. Which would mean it stemmed from the Rinnegan - the Sharingan's ascendant. The incomplete version was simply banned by the Uchiha because of the after-effect of using it.--Cerez365™ 19:02, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
i know this . but the creation of all things itself was not said that it is dojutsu based technique . it was just said that it depend on manipulating yin/yang through senju/uchiha bloodlines . --Chaos90 19:14, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- We're going with dōjutsu so far because pretty much all things the Sage has done so far, he did using the power of the Rinnegan. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:17, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Trivia regarding Road to Ninja
A possible trivia note I would like to add. In the new Naruto Movie, Menma, the alternative naruto has the ability to split Kurama's chakra into living constructs to fight for him: a snake, a tiger, a dragon, a turtle, a bird, a princess, a shinigami and two sages for the north and south dippers. Considering how this parallels the ten tails' chakra being divided into the tailed beasts themselves, should we make a note of this in the trivia section? —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
I guess so, but sign ur posts--Elveonora (talk) 18:01, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand why is comparison has to be drawn. It's not something really meaningful, since the beings aren't very clearly related, like the tailed beasts are. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:54, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
