I ordered the 110v power supply with my CGEM and unfortunately they didn't put the screw on connector on it like the provided DC adapter. Would anyone know of a supplier that has these connectors (a 90 degree would be the ticket)? Even though I've never powered my gear with a battery, I don't want to cannibalize the one I have (though I may consider it).

The Land of Wind (風の国, Kaze no Kuni) is one of the more prominent countries in the series. It is located to the south-west of the Land of Fire and borders the Land of Rivers and Amegakure. Its government leader is the Wind Daimyō. The country covers a vast realm, but that realm is largely composed of deserts. Because there is very little rainfall throughout the year, the people of the country live in villages built on one of the desert's many oases. Despite the country's extremely harsh environment, it has a large population. Although they have warred with each other in the past, the Land of Wind is on good terms with the Land of Fire, with a great deal of trade going on between the two countries.
The "Sand Dumpling" (砂団子, Suna Dango, English TV: Sand Dango) is a regional speciality of the Land of Wind. A unique characteristic of the Sand Dumpling is the soy flour, which is prepared especially to resemble sand. They apparently taste very good.[1]
Main article: Sunagakure Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Sand) is the hidden village of the Land of Wind. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Sunagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Kazekage, of which there have been five in its history. Being surrounded by desert offers the village a natural deterrent against invasion, as few foreign powers would be willing to endure the sandstorms and water scarcity common to Suna.
- In Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, Haido's Knights attacked the Land of Wind in their quest of searching for the Gelel vein, meaning the country is close to Temujin's Continent.

Beyond the Cantrip/Wish spells, which are fairly open ended, which other spells are most likely to encourage creative role-playing in a D&D session?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

I don't think there's any specific spell that encourages creative role-playing. These are both encouraged by the GM. Lightning bolt encourages creativity (not really role-playing per se, but creativity, which are different things) if a player is allowed to use it in clever ways like routing it down metal/water; then it's creative. If they are required to keep spells to legalistic limits, then even cantrip and wish are not adding anything creative to the game. I've seen knock used to drop a bad guy's drawers and one sorceress was such a devotee of burning hands that it became her Swiss army knife. It has nothing to do with the spell itself and everything to do with the attitude brought to the game by the players but especially the GM.
Polymorph Self was always my favorite way to add a lot of creativity to wizards in original AD&D (I haven't played 3.0/3.5 or 4e to see how the spell was changed for those editions).
At one game at Gencon I was playing a wizard who had been aged by an undead attack (as part of his background) - I used the Polymorph Self spell to polymorph into a gargoyle which allowed me to survive a section of the adventure which the DM later told me had almost been designed to kill off my character (and yes that's pretty bad conference game design).
In 4e from what I have observed (mostly via listening to various live play podcasts) it appears that many players and DM's have found some creative ways to allow for magic using players to do creative effects (somewhat akin to earlier editions cantrips) via skills challenges or just pure roleplaying. Which seems fairly reasonable to me though it could be abused by some.
Once thing I've seen that can encourage creativity is allowing minor modification of spells on the fly within limits. This creates more work for the DM/GM as far as adjudicating what is allowable, i.e. in what ways can you modify Burning Hands, or in what ways can you modify Otiluke's Resilient Sphere.
The first group I ever played with was great at this. The DM required an intelligence score of 2 higher than the level of spell you wanted to modify, and had clear guidelines as to what was allowable per each spell level and type. If you wanted to do something really funky he was usually open to that. He even went so far on occasion as to allow spells to be combined at a cost of one spell slot per spell combined + 1 spell slot for the act of combining them.
This was a great group to play with, and the ways our wizard utilized these house rules were truly awesome.
I've always been a fan of using non-damaging spells in interesting ways. For example, Stone to Flesh can give a party some variation in their diet when suck in a cave/dungeon/etc. Image spells are always fun, too, and are most effective when used creatively.
One thing you might do to encourage creative spell use is to have your NPCs demonstrate. Have a master chef prepare rocks with Stone to Flesh as delicacies, and cook with Heat Metal. Have a Gnomish city where traffic is directed by Dancing Lights. Integrate creative magic into how the game world is presented.
Generally any spell that doesn't do damage will lead to creative uses and solutions to problems, which is a core aspect of D&D roleplaying. This becomes much less of a case with d20 due to restricted scope of spells. Quest and Geas spells are particularly targetted at roleplaying.
Also, using conditional magic rules from Player's Option Spells & Magic strongly encourages roleplaying.
Recently in my campaign, players were trapped in a really big underwater cave complex, with all the exits collapsed. They decided to escape using Gaseous form, but the only mage being able to cast it was a wild mage, and there was 67% that the spell won't last long enough... So he used summon monster to summon Earth Mephits, which then softened the stones with their magic, shortening the tunnel enough to make the gaseous form work long enough even with -2 to caster level.
I think it's not WHICH spells are best to make you creative, but rather how far your players are willing to "abuse" them (in positive meaning of course). If players can't get creative with the spells they might need a little push, or a signal that they should actually try experimenting. I have noticed that my players are too witty with their spells and skills, and usually they outsmart most of my simpler plans (ie, those created on the fly).

WASHINGTON – The Final Four tips off Saturday night, but for some four-legged friends in Virginia, the results are already in.
Four rats went through six months of training ahead of this week's basketball competition at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond.
Each rat represented one of the four teams who made it all the way in competition on a small court to see which rat could pick up the small orange ball and carry it through the hoop the most.
The rats representing Michigan and Louisville made the title game, with Michigan pulling it out in the end.
Before you risk it all, the Richmond Times- Dispatch reports the rats have only been right once in the five years the museum has held the competition.

The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Power utilities' morphing future
Business models are basic; will alternatives overtake them?
In my spare time (on weekdays, that is, between 9 and 5) I wonder not just about what's holding up dynamic pricing, but I wonder also about the thundering silence between what utilities do today and what they'll be doing in a decade.
In my mind's eye, without pejorative intent, I imagine the business strategy people dividing into work groups that model various scenarios. One group is known as Status Quo, another is dubbed the Advanced Grid with Add-ons and yet another is known as the Off-the-Hook Group, where members tinker with Rube Goldberg-inspired contraptions.
Outside those rooms, the people charged with implementation pace impatiently for an outcome they can get their arms around. At least that's my cartoon version of the notion that business strategy in short-, medium- and long-term timeframes actually drives tactical moves, which dictate technology roadmaps, etc.
Translation: if you want to understand best practices on distribution automation, for instance, you've got to deal with those business strategy groups in rooms A, B and C. (These reveries confirm my status as ruminator and unfitness for utility work.)
The constraints that must shape these imaginary work groups' activities—be they financial, regulatory or technological—may be made of iron or they may be paper tigers, fierce at first glance, but perishable when confronted.
What the heck am I talking about? I've spoken with a number of people outside the utility walls this week and will offer one today, if only to make two points. One, that American ingenuity is unstoppable and it is being applied to the paradigm of centralized power, driven by a prevailing vision of a decentralized grid. Second, that vision of a truly interactive, decentralized grid has enough credibility for me to suggest that—as I've mentioned in other contexts—utilities can embrace it and perhaps even lead it or they can be caught off-guard and be overtaken by it. I'm just opening the windows for fresh air.
Meet John Farrell. He directs the Energy Self-Reliant States and Communities program at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. He focuses on energy policies that expand the benefits of local ownership of distributed generation, particularly renewable energy.
Farrell and I agree that the "democratizing of energy" will, in time, become a tsunami that reshapes the landscape of power. The consumer will become the primary producer—the tail that wags the dog. Have a hearty laugh, at your own peril.
The ILSR is dedicated to "humanly scaled institutions and economies with the widest possible distribution of ownership," Farrell told me this week.
"When it comes to energy and the program I run, it's not necessarily about where we get our energy from, but how does the way we extract or generate energy mesh with the economic interests of local communities?" Farrell said. "How can we transform people from being energy consumers to energy producers?
"The motivation for this approach is how do communities extract the maximum value of their economic resources? In energy, renewable energy now allows people anywhere to become generators. So rather than a system driven by absentee ownership and economics, renewable energy allows communities to not only generate their own power, but to extract the related economic resources that previously left the community via a vertically integrated utility."
To what degree does such a philosophy create conflict with or confluence with utility interests?
"It depends on the structure and economic interests of a utility," Farrell said. "This approach potentially puts us at odds with investor-owned utilities, particularly when it runs counter to their economic interest, in the case of local ownership. Because they make their money by extracting value from communities—either by selling energy generated elsewhere or by using local energy resources and transferring the value to shareholders.
"We have nothing a priori against the investor-owned utility model," Farrell continued, "it's just that renewable energy is so unlike fossil fuel energy—you don't need large amounts of capital to build it, you don't need to produce it all in one place and use high-voltage transmission lines to transport it somewhere else. So that model is no longer compatible with the type of energy system that we're likely to have in the future.
"So in our work towards creating a distributed energy system, the idea that we would continue to have a centralized form of ownership and control of that system is really inconsistent with what the technology enables."
What about municipal and co-op utilities?
"The structure of municipal and cooperative utilities lends itself to this new system we're advocating, although a lot of time, the very organizations that might benefit are constrained by long-term power purchase contracts based on the old paradigm," Farrell continued. "Often they have little leeway even if local residents wanted to change."
To come tomorrow: real-world examples of what Farrell is talking about in Illinois, Minnesota, Vermont, Florida, Texas, Colorado and California, where the regulatory, policy and economic reforms will come and why the grid as we know it will always play a role.
See you here tomorrow.
Phil Carson
Intelligent Utility Daily
The article draws a nice picture but I have to add on the word, "IF" the nature of the distributed generation and the cost is agreeable with all members of the effort.
Human nature, particularly here in the USA strives to be independent not only in business but in habitation as well. Look at what is considered the Ideal living arrangement; at least here in the west. A small 5 acre ranchet separated from the neighbors with private roads connecting to the main arteries needed to commute. Now consider a collective joint energy endevor, all participants would be required to pay for the initial cost and then a monthly maintainence fee for the control and management of a storage system, if someone felt that their neighbor was using too much or reneged on their payments trouble would soon start, its just human nature. If this group was serious about being independent from the grid and planned for all contingencies such as prolonged weather events and the possibility of outages due to repair or other interrupetive events, then it might work but consider the cost to construct some system large enough to handle a number of participants and provide security so that power outages were minimised. I beleive the bill would be beyond most of the population today. Seemingly simple decisions such as on whose property does the storage system get put; who will take on the job of managing the system, who in the group will take on the responsibiliy of making sure everyone else is in compliance for cleaning the panels on their roof? It would take a pretty sound democratic system to work, at least in my mind. Good article.
What options are there beyond solar?
I'm not sure what options for distributed power generation there are beyond solar. Most cities are not prime candidates for wind, and even if they are nobody is going to install wind towers in the middle of a city. Most cities have enough rooftop space for a significant amount of solar, but with solar and wind you are once again left with getting some solution for storage.
Boulder, CO is in the process of exploring a municipal utility. While local installations of solar are encouraged, nobody is yet counting on them as a big factor. It seems we will be using mostly distant wind with natural gas backup (again distant). As far as I know, both of these sources will depend on using Xcel's power transmission lines at least part of the way to get the power to Boulder's city limits.
Milton Scritsmier
Boulder, CO
Distributed Generation Options
Milton, compelling on-site generation options go well beyond solar PV, although that option is growing strong (a recent Pike Energy report suggested a combined annual growth rate of 18% over the next several years for distributed solar PV). Alternatives beyond distributed solar PV systems include urban wind energy, geothermal and natural gas-fueled microturbine- combined heat and power (CHP) systems and fuel cells.
Urban wind energy systems take advantage of wind at the edges of rooftops. Geothermal offers generators tapping thermal pockets accessed through wells and geothermal HVAC systems with dramatic increases in operatiional efficiency. Perhaps the most exciting development is the opportunity to take advantage of historically low domestic natural gas prices through distributed microturbines (e.g., Capstone) and fuel cells (e.g., (ClearEdge Power and Bloom Energy).
Each of these alternatives highlight multiple alternatives at the distributed level created by new distributed energy technologies, bringing new business models and introducing new non-utility players into the emerging Community Energy field.

The Future Comes Faster Than We Expect
In 1980, serious computer professionals understood that a computer was an expensive mainframe or mini that was a business tool for large computations; 32 years later, a computer comes in many shapes and sizes, crafted to fit the purpose of the user. In the early 1980s, a mobile phone was a communication device attached to the car, a buisness tool for vital communications; 28 years later, mobile phones come in many shapes and sizes, and smart phones now act as computers as well.
It's hard for any of us to imagine the future of energy tracking the development of IT and telecom, but energy change is driven by the same forces. It's doubly hard for those who are intimate with the current energy business model to imagine a dramatic departure from today's prevaliing conventional wisdom. Utility workers are the equivalent of the IBMers from 1975, or the ATT workers of 1980, with game changing paradigm shifts looming in their near-term futures, but their leaaders reacted to change differently.
IBM survived by changing itself, becoming a PC pioneer, then a services giant a decade later. ATT was acted upon by Judge Green, then the Baby Bells went through decades of gut-wrenching change, with ATT and Verizon coming out on top. Utilities are heading for the same path, which branches at the top. One road leads to self-imposed change and adaptation,with utility leaders firmly in control of their destiny. The other leads to change from the outside, with utility leaderss being acted upon and reacting, but from positions of increasing weakness, where most become victims of history, either consolidated or broken up into parts.
For me, the choice for utility leaders is stark. Act decisively and boldly, or be acted upon and suffer the consequences.

Similar to Madara
Very similar to Madara uchicha's technique but on a lower level.
- Not necessarily the same technquine, speculative to say anything other than they're both space-time ninjutsu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:39, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
Reply: I also noted that, i think there's a relaton between those techniques, remember that tobi told him once not to bother using it against him. There are just two facts of why he told him that... the technique is similar to the one he uses or he just as a sharingan usar knows how to avoid it.—This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
loss of eyesight
does kakashi suffer the same side affect of using the mangekyou sharingan? does he gradually lose his eyesight? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:46, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
- According to Third Databook translation by ShounenSuki, 'The "Mangekyou Sharingan" is a doujutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of "Kamui," using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well.' So maybe he *is* losing his eyesight, it's just that his character isn't as dramatic as Sasuke's or Itachi's so Kishimoto doesn't emphasize this. --Kiadony (talk) 11:33, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- That, OR Kakashi, by having received his sharingan eye from Obito, instead of it being his own eye since he was born, got him a different form of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, without it having any "greater" powers, like Madara's, but still keeping his vision when using the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques. Bruxacosmica Talk 21:42, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

That was stated in the context of Kakashi learning the technique.NoJutsu (talk) 20:43, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
Doesn't this technique just collapse a point in space that Kakashi focuses on? Where did it say he creates a barrier? Does it mean he creates a barrier around his targeted object and then have the barrier teleport away? Is that what it means? Yatanogarasu 08:33, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Isn't the barrier just limiting the area of effect of Kamui? It's not like it restricts things from entering/exiting it unlike all of the other Barriers. Skitts (talk) 23:20, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Why Only One Aspect Can Be Used At Once
Tobi can't remain "intangible" while absorbing something, otherwise the object will still collide into him in the other dimension, no? Is that too much of a stretch of speculation? He either sends himself or the object, but not both, because that's pointless. I was thinking that this was part of Kakashi's reasoning for realizing that the two techniques were both the same technique, but too much speculation? --GoDai (talk) 01:19, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
No idea, but welcome back GoDai ;D people are still confused with the whole Konan/Kakashi explanations--Elveonora (talk) 01:42, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
Because if his entire body is in the other dimension he can't absorb things that are outside the other dimension, so his intangible image can't absorb stuff because he is actually existing in the other dimension. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:21, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
New Information
Madara implied that Obito phased through the rocks. He says "I don't know how that rock didn't crush you. It's almost as if you were able to slip away from it...". I don't think we can safely say that Tobi's technique is Mangekyo Sharingan unique. I think we should change it back to the normal sharingan until we have absolute proof it is unique to MS or even the fully mature Sharingan. Skarrj (talk) 10:42, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Traumatic experiences tend to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan...--Cerez365™(talk) 10:50, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
His sharingan wasn't fully matured, he couldn't have awoken it. Skarrj (talk)
As far as I can see, nothing on this wiki says that the Sharingan needs to be at the 3 tomoe stage to evolve, it's unlikely that it's awoken at that point since everyone else needed to feel the pain of a loved one dying or killing them yourself, we've seen Obito using his teleporting ability with just the sharingan.TricksterKing (talk) 11:13, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
He might have used Earth Release to phase or something, and if it was Kamui, then he might have felt a loss of close ones as he was about to "die" also unless there's a reference for that, where's a proof that a Sharingan needs to me 3 tomoe in order to be able to unlock Mangekyou?? What if a 1-2 tomoe kills his best friend/relative?--Elveonora (talk) 22:50, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
Since we now know Obito awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan when he witnessed Rin die how did he "slip away" from the rock? --18.104.22.168 (talk) 12:23, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- We don't know... Madara was just making an assumption of what happened.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:33, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
Derived Jutsu mentioned twice
On the Infobar, the Fire Release Jutsu is mentioned twice. It might just be a glitch, rather than human error, though... --ScruffyC (talk) 06:34, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
- It is. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:02, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
A Suspension Bridge to Peace (episode)
In the episode A Suspension Bridge to Peace obito is seen using kamui with normal sharingan? --22.214.171.124 (talk) 00:46, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, there is a clip of him doing that with an ordinary Sharingan in the anime, but in the manga chapters for the same fight, it is not present, meaning that is anime-only occurrence. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 18:49, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
- That's not exactly true. There is a distinct close-up panel of Tobi utilizing Kamui during his battle with Konan, but there is no visible Sharingan design nor pupil at all. --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 01:46, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
Chapter 606
From Chapter 606 it seems kamui is activated whenever obito's mangekyō is activated so instead of obito activating the mangekyō then activating kamui when he activates the mangekyō kamui activates instantaneously I think this because he tried to touch rin and at first phased through her... and I don't think he had the intention of phasing through her only to touch her. So my conclusion is whenever the mangekyō is activated kamui is activated and he is solid until something something is hitting him in which it phases through in instead I don't think he chooses when to activate kamui and when to deactivate it. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:32, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- That would mean that Obito's body is constantly existing in another world, which I don't think is accurate. It would appear that it's simply because he just developed his abilities, he was unable to control the phasing. That, and the fact that Kishimoto did it for "dramatics".--Cerez365™(talk) 12:43, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
No I mean the jutsu is activated at the same time as the mangekyō but he is solid... until something hits him he instead phases through it... so activated but solid when nothing is through him --188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:03, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- If that were the case, he wouldn't have been able to kill all those Kiri-nin as his Mangekyo was activated the entire time. What we saw was, when no longer in a fit of rage, he didn't have full control of the phasing.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:57, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, so he has to have his whole body solid in order to attack, right? But when he defends, he can send a part of his body and still remain solid? We know that he's still in the real dimension, as we can see him, and the part that overlaps is the part that is gone? Isn't this a contradiction? Also, when he transports himself, doesn't he have to become solid to go to the other dimension ,why doesn't he just do it the faster way, like when he encountered naruto's tailed beast ball?--Asian711 (talk) 20:50, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
It all sounds weird, we will need a databook to clarify more, same for Izanagi. Kishi isn't good when it comes to explanations--Elveonora (talk) 22:05, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- I think that the explanations are very simple and logical, but offcourse are just suppositions until a confirmation from the databook or the manga. About the first question: Obito's kamui probably is able to teleport in the other dimensions every part of his body just in the moment that is overlapped by something of solid in the Earth's dimension. Probably Obito can just activate or not the jutsu, but he hasn't no direct control on what part of his body "make intangible".
- About the second question, Obito's "intagibility" permits him to transfer in the other dimensions the part of his body that comes in contact with something, but just until the contact continue. Probably he is unable to stay in the other dimensions, but he must necessarily "return" to the Earth's dimension, in the exact point where he was when he became intangible. Contrarily, when he teleport himself ("soliding himself") the process is more slow, but he is able to remain in the other dimension, and overall the advantage is that he can then teleport himself in what point of the Earth he want (without return in the same from where he disappeared). When he travel from a point A to a point C of the world (for example from the forest where was present the Konoha's squad of 8 people to the place of Sasuke's battle with Itachi), seems likely that actually he telport himself before to a point B present in the other dimensions, and just from there he goes to the point C on the Earth.--JK88 (talk) 22:28, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
He has two states, Intangible and Tangible. When in the Intangible state he will phase through anything that touches him. Even if he is the one touching the object. Lets say he is phasing through a punch, he can't counter while phasing because IF he did, his fist would phase through the person unless he released the intangible state. Get it? He can't choose to selectively phase. While in the state he doesnt have to be in the Other Dimension but will be warped there on contact with something physical. It's complicated. But by looking at when Guy used the roundhouse kick against him while he was trying to grab naruto, it's easy to see. He phases through Naruto because his whole body was in the tangible state despite him just doing so to phase the kick aimed at his head. Skarrj (talk) 15:38, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Nice work Skarrj with that example of Naruto and Gai, you have found an evidence to my assumptions. Tobi can decide what part of his body selectively phase.--JK88 (talk) 16:54, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
- You mean he CANNOT. Either he's completely solid, or completely impervious. While he's in the impervious mode, any object that will come in contact with his body will phase through it, while the body part being phased through will be made manifest in the other dimension. Obito cannot have his head in impervious mode, but arms in solid mode, for example. Xfing (talk) 18:01, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
Kakashi's Usage
Kakashi has now seemingly demonstrated use of Obito's variation of Kamui on both himself and Eight-Tails. Should the article be rewritten and just split into teleportation and intangibility now, with Kakashi's long-range barrier included in the former?--BeyondRed (talk) 14:52, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- As you said; teleporting and intangibility are to different things, but Kakashi has yet to actually show intangibility. Until he does show it, I think it should remain the same. 09:58, Steveo920, November 20, 2012
- He didn't mean intangibility, he meant sucking stuff into your eye, then releasing it later. With a swirlin suction pattern. Kakashi couldn't do that before, now he can. Just like Obito. He hasn't shown intangibility yet, but he has shown close-range Kamui. I would construct the article in a way that separates only intangibility and teleportation, citing Obito's teleportation aspect as the primary one, and later adding Kakashi's long-range aspect, unseen in Obito. Xfing (talk) 17:50, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Everything that Kakashi has done has been mentioned. So what needs to change? Kakashi, unlike Obito is still able to warp away stuff without physical contact, so to me at least, Kakashi isn't using it in any way he hadn't before now except that now he knows he can bring stuff back to the real world or actually has a need to unlike before (warping away Deidara's body part(s) and an explosion).--Cerez365™(talk) 19:53, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
I agree, and to put it in other words, obito needs to touch a person or something to warp something away whearas kakashi only needs to focus on the target with his eye to warp the target away, clear statement. --Naruto6paths (talk) 20:01, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
I just found out something, since the right eye uses intangibility and the left eye uses the teleporation barrier, their both additions since both eyes uses that spiral teleporation. I think we should set it up were we separate teleporation barrier and intangibility because there additions to the teleporation of each eye. And since both Obito and Kakashi used teleporation, we should seperate it into teleporation.--Droidkaju (talk) 03:02, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with Droidkaju, while the current version not say incorrect info, the article was written keeping in mind a certain outclassed difference between the Kakashi's and Obito's kamui, when seemed that the power of the copy ninja was less similar to Obito's one: the partition of the paragraphs is an evidence of it. So I'm of the opinion that should be written in a different form similar to the suggestions done to making the understanding much more clear.--JK88 (talk) 13:31, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Literal english name
Penis of the Gods. Is that refering to the organ? Because I do not understand.--Axel Carrozzo (talk) 21:33, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Georgia's Bisharp
this wiki
In Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, Georgia used her in the quarter-finals to battle Ash's Snivy. It cut up Snivy's Leaf Storm with Metal Claw, then used the same move to land a blow on Snivy. When Ash's female Snivy's attract fails, it dodges an Iron Head from Pawniard, causing a rock to get stuck on it's sharp head. It then gets pulverized by a barrage of Vine Whips, but eventually uses Snivy's Leaf Blade to get free, and then it tries to wrap it up with the 1 hit K.O. Guillotine. Snivy dodges and retaliates by wrapping Pawniard up with Vine Whip. Pawniard uses the vines to swing Snivy around, and the episode ends with Snivy injured and Pawniard about to win with Guillotine. In the next episode, Snivy quickly turns the tables by using Leaf Blade to hit Pawniard and miraculously taking no damage from the potential winning attack for Georgia. When her arms get stuck in the ground, Metal Claw couldn't save from the Leaf Storm coming her way. Pawniard couldn't take the damage and fainted. Though Ash advanced to the Semi-Finals, Georgia blamed her loss on the terrain which caused Pawniard's arms to get stuck, being the sore loser she is. Georgia also says it's not a real loss because she lost to a Grass type, not a Dragon-type.
It reappeared in Searching for the Clubultimate! as a Bisharp where it battled Gail's Druddigon. Since it was a dragon type, Georgia wanted to crush it, which was exactly what she did. Bisharp blocked Dragon Claw, before evading Dragon Tail with a series of swift backflips, showing Georgia's skill. She then struck back hard with Metal Sound, followed by knocking it out with a powerful Iron Head, advancing her trainer to the second round
In the quarter-finals she battled Bianca and Emboar. It easily blocked a quickly ordered Flamethrower from Emboar, but her trainer was enraged that Bianca started to fight before she could even finish her sentence. Emboar uses Hammer Arm but Bisharp blocked it with Guillotine, which dealt a lot of damage. Georgia orders Metal Sound, which does a great job, and then she orders Iron Head, ready to wrap the battle up. Bianca orders Flamethrower, and Emboar lands the attack before Iron Head can land. Bisharp resists the attack for a little while, but is overwhelmed and roasted, eliminating her trainer from the tournament. Georgia still thanked Bisharp for battling so well with an obvious type disadvantage and she didn't care about the loss because Emboar wasn't a dragon type.
It appeared in a flashback of Ash's travels Unova in A Unova League Evolution! as a Pawniard, hitting Snivy with Metal Claw, which was Bisharp's (and Georgia's) last appearence to date.
During the Clubsplosion, it was known as Georgia's signature Pokémon.

- Bisharp is the only member of Georgia's team who has no moves super-effective to any of Iris' Pokémon.
- There is a running gag with Don George's Tournaments, that Georgia would use Bisharp in the Quarter-Finals, dominate the whole battle, then lose at the last second.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service's screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than has been previously disclosed, the new head of the agency acknowledged Monday. Terms including "Israel," "Progressive" and "Occupy" were used by agency workers to help pick groups for closer examination, according to an internal IRS document obtained by The Associated Press.
The IRS has been under fire since last month after admitting it targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups that wanted the tax-exempt designation for tough examinations. While investigators have said that agency screening for those groups had stopped in May 2012, Monday's revelations made it clear that screening for other kinds of organizations continued until earlier this month, when the agency's new chief, Danny Werfel, said he discovered it and ordered it halted.
The IRS document said an investigation into why specific terms were included was still underway. It blamed the continued use of inappropriate criteria by screeners on "a lapse in judgment" by the agency's former top officials.
In a conference call with reporters, Werfel said that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered varied and improper terms on the lists and said screeners were still using them. He did not specify what terms were on the lists, but said he suspended the use of all such lists immediately.
"There was a wide-ranging set of categories and cases that spanned a broad spectrum" on the lists, Werfel said. He added that his aides found those lists contained "inappropriate criteria that was in use."
Investigators previously have said the lists evolved as screeners found new names and phrases to help them identify groups to examine.
Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee released one of the lists, dated November 2010. That 16-page document showed that the terms "Progressive" and "Tea Party" were both on that list, as well as "Medical Marijuana" and "Healthcare legislation."
Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, top Democrat on the Ways and Means panel, said he was writing a letter to J. Russell George, the Treasury Department inspector general whose audit in May detailed IRS targeting of conservatives, asking why his report did not mention other groups that were targeted.
Democratic staff on Ways and Means said in a press release they had verified that of the 298 groups seeking tax-exempt status that George's audit had examined, some were liberal organizations — something George's report did not mention.
Werfel's remarks came as he released an 83-page examination he has conducted of his embattled agency. Werfel's report describes several new procedures, including a fast-track process for groups seeking tax-exempt status that have yet to get a response from the IRS within 120 days of applying.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's campaign is opening a new critique of Mitt Romney, focusing attention on the Republican's economic record as governor of Massachusetts.
Obama's team looked to respond to Romney, who seized the GOP presidential nomination with his primary win in Texas on Tuesday night. That pushed him past the 1,144-delegate threshold he needed to win the nod.
Obama's advisers have said that, under Romney, the Massachusetts economy lagged in job creation and saw an increase in debt while he was governor from 2003-2007.
Romney's campaign, in turn, was bringing attention to failed stimulus projects and federal money given to green-energy companies like Solyndra. The solar company received hundreds of millions of dollars from Obama's administration only to go bankrupt.

I don't have enough travel on the cross slide to do an accurate job that way.
I think I might. i have to double check.
another thought is regrind a existing reamer for doing straight holes and adding a pilot. there should be some body making specific throating reamers for .50
If you go back and search the old 50 beowulf threads here I posted a few places who might make a reamer that would work. you might have to change a speck a tousands or two. but thats not a issue. adding or reducing. .0001 at say the rim wont hurt any thing and may get around the propriitary BS. I had quotes for reamers several years ago. from a couple. most custom remaers are under $150 use it then sell it or rent it out to recoup your money. I do know that some guys will make them if you ask pretty pretty please.

text: Earlier today on Refinery29, I read about how baby bangs are making a comeback, and felt conflicted. This tough-to-pull-off fashion statement has been around in various forms for quite some time, popping up most recently in fashion's current favorite era, the early 90s. Things being as they are, they're coming back around now, creeping beyond the heads of cool art school girls who work at custom sneaker shops in Mexico City and onto the heads of celebrities and the masses. They can look pretty great on the right person, but otherwise, they're abjectly terrible. Take a look at some photos of them and you'll see what I mean.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Capitals will try bounce back after
having their momentum halted the last time out, as they host the Montreal
Canadiens in Friday's battle at Verizon Center.
The Capitals had won three in a row and scored four times in each game during
that hot streak before getting dealt a 4-0 home loss by the Pittsburgh
Penguins on Wednesday. It marked just the second time this season Washington
had been blanked and the first time since the New York Rangers recorded a 2-0
win in D.C. on Oct. 16.
Washington also was outshot by a wide 40-18 margin in Wednesday's loss, which
ended a six-game home winning streak for the Caps and dropped them to 8-4-0 at
the Verizon Center this season. The club hadn't lost on home ice since the 2-0
setback versus the Rangers last month.
While Marc-Andre Fleury needed only to make 18 stops to record the shutout for
Pittsburgh, Capitals netminder Braden Holtby turned aside 36-of-40 shots in a
losing effort. The Pens fired 32 shots at Holtby through the first two periods
alone and held a 3-0 edge after 40 minutes of action.
"There's lots of ways to lose games, and that's not really one way you want to
do it," Washington head coach Adam Oates said after the disappointing effort.
Washington could get a boost from the return of defenseman Mike Green on
Friday. The offensive-minded blueliner sat out the past three games with a
lower-body injury, but expects to play tonight. Green has 11 points -- all
assists -- in 19 games this season.
The Caps hope Green can help them get back in the win column tonight in the
finale of a three-game homestand. Washington has had tons of success against
the Canadiens in recent years, winning two straight and eight of the past nine
overall meetings between the clubs.
Montreal also has lost four of six and seven of its past 10 games in D.C.
After starting the month of November on an 0-3-1 slide, the Canadiens have
recorded wins in three of their last five outings (3-1-1).
Montreal turned in its best offensive performance of the season in its most
recent trip to the ice, setting a season-high in goals with Tuesday's 6-2 home
victory over Minnesota. Max Pacioretty scored the first three goals of the
game to notch his second career hat trick and lead the way in the rout of the
Pacioretty had just two goals in 12 games this season before more than
doubling his total with Tuesday's outburst. The American winger fired a
career-high 10 shots on goal against the Wild.
"I've missed a lot of good opportunities lately and it started getting in my
head that I couldn't score," Pacioretty told his team's official website after
the game.
Michael Bournival, Daniel Briere and Alex Galchenyuk also lit the lamp for the
Canadiens, while Carey Price made 25 saves for the win.
Montreal, which is playing three of its next four games on the road, is just
1-3-0 as the visiting team in November.
With the Canadiens playing on back-to-back days, Peter Budaj will get the
start tonight while Price is scheduled to play Saturday against Pittsburgh.
Budaj is 0-2-1 with a 2.95 goals against average in four career outings
against the Capitals.

A tug-of-war ensued in the National Assembly here yesterday as Members of Parliament demanded that the beneficiaries of the 1.7trn/- issued by the government to rescue the economy in 2009 be made public, while the Finance ministry said the matter was confidential under the country's banking laws.
The much Deputy Finance minister Pereira Anne Silima would reveal was that at least 97 companies benefited from the stimulus package.
He made the remarks in response to a question by Leticia Nyerere (Special Seats), saying the firms were compensated for the losses they incurred in the course of the global economic meltdown.
He however explained that he would not name the beneficiaries because financial regulations related to confidentiality prohibited him from doing so.
In her principal question, Nyerere had wanted to know the number of companies that benefited from the package as well as their names and the amount of money paid to bail them out.
She had also wanted to know the source and amount of funds, if the assistance was extended to the firms in the form of loans or grants, when the money would be paid back to the government, and if the firms had been audited by the Controller and Auditor General.
Responding, the deputy minister said the bailout strategy was scheduled to cost 1.7trn/- accessed from both internal and external sources.
He noted that internal loans to cover the income gap would total 828bn/-, with 436.2bn/- being a soft loan from the International Monetary Fund achieved through the exogenous shock facility (ESF). The rest would be allocated by the government through its budget for the purpose of protecting jobs, loans facilitation and investment in infrastructure.
He added however that, until December 2010, the stimulus package funds spent stood at 1.4535trn/- , the 239bn/- gap resulting from lack of funds from some sources including 'no-show' donors.
Silima explained that since the funds were included in the government budget, the CAG would audit the expenditure "just as applies to all other public funds".
Legislator Nyerere recalled that the 2009/2010 report by the CAG established that there was no explanation on the way 48bn/- was spent and that the government had promised to investigate the anomaly and submit report to parliament, but had yet to do so.
She also wondered why the government was reluctant to name the firms that benefited from the stimulus package, noting that it was against parliamentary rules and procedures to deny MPs access to information they needed.
Commenting on the 48bn/-, the deputy minister said details have been submitted to the CAG's office.
He said a report would also be submitted to the House through its Parliamentary Accounts Committee and the Parliamentary Parastatal Organisations Accounts Committee.
Freeman Mbowe, Leader of the Official Opposition in the House, had earlier demanded that the deputy minister cite the regulations forbidding him from naming the firms.
Silima merely said the issue fell under the law on banks and financial institutions "which stipulates that confidentiality of the customers must be observed".
Under the law, official transactions between the bank and their customer are regarded as confidential, he insisted.
National Assembly Speaker Anne Makinda soon intervened, demanding that the ministry submit the names of the beneficiaries "because what the MPs are after is not the amount of money pumped in by the Bank of Tanzania to the firms but merely the names of the beneficiaries".
Parliamentary Standing Order 45 (3) stipulates: "If the Speaker of the National Assembly is not satisfied with a given answer, he or she shall order the respondent to bring the correct version in another parliamentary meeting."
"The honourable minister should go and work on that question and come back with the correct answer. What the House is after are the names of the companies," she stressed, with Silima agreeing to go and work with the Bank of Tanzania "to see how we can have the matter presented in the House".

Flare-ups are still popping up all over the spot where a hay barn used to stand. Debris from the structure still smoldered well into Thursday night.
The fire started in a hay barn and quickly spread to a nearby field. Fifteen acres burned before crews could contain the flames to one area.
The hay barn is located on the property of farming store Big R in Falcon. An employee spotted the fire and called 911 around 12:56 p.m.
Other than the hay barn, which is a total loss, no structures were damaged. Our crew on scene says at one point the fire crept up close to one home, but did not reach the structure. Three homes in the area were evacuated for about an hour.
The owner of the barn says the building was worth close to $270,000 and it was loaded with hay. The price of hay is very expensive right now.
Falcon, Black Forest, Ellicott and Peyton fire departments all responded to the fire. Firefighters remained at the scene all night because the fire was expected to burn overnight and well into Friday.
Two firefighters were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. They are expected to be okay.
Investigators with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office are now working to find what caused the fire.
The Big R is located at 14155 Highway 24, east of Colorado Springs.
