On Campus
AU Alumni and Friends Meet Up for Fun, Games, and Scholarship
Donors, alumni, faculty, and students all came together to support the new Master of Arts in Game Design at Gaming with a Purpose, a fundraising event hosted by the Library on March 18. This event featured game materials that donors could choose as a gift to the Library in support of this new initiative. All of the event proceeds from the event will be used to support development of this collection.
American University's Master of Arts in Game Design in the School of Communication and College of Arts and Sciences is a unique, multi-disciplinary program focused on game design, play theory, and game engagement strategies intended to influence non-game contexts and challenges. The program is designed to develop the intellectual capacity of students as designers, developers, consumers, and games administrators. This is the only degree in persuasive play in the United States. Students who graduate from the program will be prepared to for a wide variety of jobs utilizing next-generation media engagement to change people's interests, activities, and opinions.
Lindsay Grace, Director of the Persuasive Play Initiative, is a game designer and researcher. His game designs have received awards from Games for Change Festival, Meaningful Play, Advances in Computer Entertainment, and Gamescape. He has published more than 25 papers, articles, and book chapters on games since 2009. Grace describes AU's concept of gaming with a purpose as "games that go beyond entertainment—pursuing how games can change people's behavior and how to produce socially responsible games."
To support this initiative, the Library needs to build a collection of materials relevant to the field. To that end, we have been purchasing scholarly books in this field and speaking with faculty members about their instructional needs. They requested a substantial number of games—and we are pleased to fulfill this request.
The games that we acquired through the generosity of our donors include classic games, which can be used to teach the fundamentals of game development; vintage games, which can be used to increase our understanding of a specific era; war games, which simulate the complexity and strategy of combat situations; games based on real-world scenarios, such as a pandemic outbreak, which illustrate the theories of persuasive play; and others. The materials that we have acquired to support this program aid faculty to create a framework for discussion in their classrooms. Adding games to the curriculum is an ideal way to give students a hands-on understanding of the theory and mechanisms of game design and persuasive play.

Expanding Multiphysics Applications with
COMSOL Version 4.2
Burlington, MA (May 18, 2011) — COMSOL, Inc., announced today the release of the latest version of COMSOL Multiphysics, its award-winning simulation environment. Version 4.2, which expands the scope of applications covered by COMSOL, is now available and will be shipped to all customers with current subscriptions.
"The vision behind Version 4 was to provide a foundation for our customers to reach broader audiences," says Svante Littmarck, President and CEO of COMSOL. "The implication, and what we're delivering with 4.2, is an expanded product offering based on that platform."
Version 4.2 expands the applications covered by COMSOL with three new application modules – Microfluidics, Geomechanics, and Electrodeposition – and new LiveLink interfaces for AutoCAD® and SpaceClaim®.
"This release really bolsters our offerings to meet market demands in several directions," says Littmarck. "Mechanical, electromagnetic, chemical, fluid, and CAD interoperability are all covered in this release. Even areas not explicitly addressed will benefit from the improved solver technology."
"The list of features included in Version 4.2 is indeed impressive," adds Littmarck. "By any measure, this is a major release. General geometry and meshing, solvers, postprocessing, and, as COMSOL's customers have come to expect, user interface enhancements have all been upgraded. These new capabilities reach all products throughout the COMSOL environment, both existing and new."
Core multiphysics capabilities accelerate simulation performance
Central to this release are the core development initiatives undertaken by COMSOL. The result is improved and expanded multiphysics simulation performance for all users. New capabilities target geometry, mesh, and solver functionality. The impact is primarily on what is already a strength of COMSOL: speed.
Version 4.2 includes new virtual geometry tools for creating a mesh that identifies the essential parts of the original CAD model to enable faster and more memory efficient solving. Time-dependent adaptive meshing and automatic remeshing tightly link solvers and meshing algorithms for any moving mesh analysis. Models with moving diffusion fronts are solved more efficiently as are simulations involving removal and deposition of materials.
Version 4.2 includes new Virtual Geometry tools that allow for
modification of CAD models without changing the underlying surface
curvature. The overall effect is a mesh that accurately represents the
geometry while keeping mesh size to a minimum (bottom right).
The new Parametric Surfaces feature allows for creation of surfaces based on analytical expressions or look-up table data. This is especially crucial for importing topographical data for earth science applications.
The COMSOL direct solvers have been multicore and cluster-enabled for several years. With Version 4.2, the multiphysics assembly algorithms and iterative solvers have now also been parallelized, bringing you faster and more memory-efficient computations on virtually any type of computer platform, from laptop to cluster.
"The parallelized assembly means that a lot of users get a lot of speed," comments Bjorn Sjodin, Vice President of Product Management with COMSOL. "Benchmark tests indicate a speed-up of 425% for a laminar flow static mixer and 164% increase for a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip simulation."
Updated Model Builder brings new convenience tools to the modeling desktop
In Version 4.2, COMSOL has responded to customers requests with a new Report Generator for publishing results data. For a given model, this integrated, customizable tool lets users create data-rich HTML reports of varying degrees of detail, from brief to complete. Several reports can be added to a single model, enabling users to communicate all their important data in a well-organized, easy-to-read format.
The COMSOL Desktop with the Model Builder is COMSOL's breakthrough user interface first introduced with Version 4.0. Drag-and-drop is now supported in the Model Builder tree to quickly edit the contents of a model. The presentation of simulation results is also updated. In the Model Builder, default plots are customized to adapt to the physics in the model with descriptive names. New plot types include histogram plots for statistical analysis, Nyquist plots for frequency response studies, and ribbon plots for flows.
CAD interoperability
CAD interoperability has always been important to COMSOL users, and this core aspect of simulation has been expanded significantly in Version 4.2.
The One Window interface in the LiveLink for SolidWorks tool lets users
run COMSOL simulations directly on their CAD model from within the
SolidWorks design environment.
The LiveLink for SolidWorks® interface has been extended with a One Window Interface where a SolidWorks user can stay inside of the SolidWorks environment and work synchronously with COMSOL Multiphysics.
The new LiveLink for SpaceClaim interface fuses direct modeling and multiphysics simulation in a tightly integrated environment. Similarly, with the new LiveLink for AutoCAD users can transfer a 3D geometry from AutoCAD to COMSOL Multiphysics. For both products, the synchronized geometry in the COMSOL model stays associative with the CAD geometry in its native format. This means that settings applied to the geometry, such as physics or mesh settings, are retained after subsequent synchronizations. The LiveLink interface is also bidirectional, allowing users to initiate a change of the CAD geometry from the COMSOL model.
Application-specific news
The Acoustics Module features new dedicated modeling tools for thermoviscous acoustics that enable highly accurate simulations of miniaturized speakers and microphones in cell phones and other handheld devices. This type of analysis will be increasingly more important as markets come to expect full, high-quality audio experiences in small packages.
coupler (ear canal simulator) with a damped Helmholtz resonator
using the Acoustics Module. The model includes thermal conduction
and viscous losses and allows for customizing the acoustic response.
The Structural Mechanics, MEMS, and Acoustics Modules offer new powerful and easy-to-use tools for prestressed analysis of eigenmodes and frequency response. Structures modeled with the Solid Mechanics interface can be prestressed by mechanical, thermal, or arbitrary multiphysics-based loads.
The new High-Mach Number Fluid Flow interface in the CFD Module applies to viscous, compressible flows with velocities greater than 0.3 times the speed of sound. The flow can be choked or non-choked and shock waves may or may not be present. The interface is suitable for designing nozzles, pipe networks, and valves, and for modeling aerodynamic phenomena.
For heat transfer in thin layers, a new multilayer option in the Heat Transfer Module makes it easy to model thin structures with multiple layers of different conductivity quickly.
The Chemical Reaction Engineering Module and the Plasma Module have been enhanced with new surface reaction tools for bidirectional adsorption-type simulations where surface species communicate with species of the surrounding bulk. Important applications include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) as well as plasma-enhanced CVD. The Batteries & Fuel Cells Module now features a new AC Impedance Study type for simulating electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A new Surface Reactions interface enables modeling of surface reactions on boundary surfaces. The updated Batteries and Fuel Cells Material Library now comes with common battery electrode materials and electrolytes.
The picture shows the temperature field in the cooling channels and the
Li-ion batteries of a battery pack for automotive applications. The model
includes a high-fidelity electrochemical model of the batteries coupled to a
thermal analysis of the batteries and the components in the battery pack as
well as a fluid flow simulation in the cooling channels.
The RF Module features new tools for efficient plasmonics simulations where coefficients for refraction, specular reflection, and first-order diffraction are all computed as functions of the angle of incidence. This analysis is made possible by a new Floquet-type periodic boundary condition.
The Microfluidics Module
The new Microfluidics Module brings easy-to-use tools for the study of microfluidic devices and rarefied gas flows. Important applications include simulations of lab-on-a-chip devices, digital microfluidics, electrokinetic and magnetokinetic devices, inkjets, and vacuum systems.
In addition to enhanced interfaces for single-phase flow, Microfluidics Module users have dedicated interfaces for two-phase flow using the level set, phase field, and moving mesh methods. Each of these interfaces includes surface tension forces, capillary forces, and Marangoni effects.
COMSOL's general-purpose multiphysics features make it easy to set up coupled electrokinetic and magnetodynamic simulations such as electrophoresis, magnetophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electroosmosis, and electrowetting. The chemical diffusion and reactions for dilute species interfaces included in the Microfluidics Module enable the simulation of processes occurring in lab-on-a-chip devices. For simulating rarefied gas flows, specialized boundary conditions that activate flow simulation in the slip flow regime are provided.
A new free molecular flow interface using the fast angular coefficient method allows for simulations where the molecular mean free path is much longer than the geometric dimensions. Combined with COMSOL's LiveLink interfaces for industry-standard CAD packages, this tool is invaluable for vacuum system design, allowing quick parametric studies of chamber geometries and pump configurations.
The Geomechanics Module
The new Geomechanics Module is a specialized add-on to the Structural Mechanics Module that enables simulations of geotechnical applications such as tunnels, excavations, slope stability, and retaining structures. The module features tailored interfaces to study plasticity, deformation, and failure of soils and rocks, as well as their interaction with concrete and human-made structures.
A variety of material models for soils are provided: Cam-clay, Drucker-Prager, Mohr-Coulomb, Matsuoka-Nakai, and Lade-Duncan. In addition to the built-in plasticity models, user-defined yield functions can be created using the equation-based user interface provided by the COMSOL Multiphysics environment. Dependencies of a computed temperature field as well as other field quantities can be blended into these material definitions.
The Geomechanics Module is also a powerful tool for modeling concrete and rock materials. The Willam-Warnke, Bresler-Pister, Ottosen, and Hoek-Brown models, which are available as built-in options, can be adapted and extended by users to a more general class of brittle materials. Additionally, the Geomechanics Module can easily be combined with analyses from other COMSOL modules such as the porous media flow, poroelasticity, and solute transport functionality of the Subsurface Flow Module.
The Electrodeposition Module
Modeling and simulations are cost effective ways for understanding, optimizing, and controlling electrodeposition processes. A typical simulation yields the current distribution at the surface of the electrodes and the thickness and composition of the deposited layer. They are used to study important parameters such as cell geometry, electrolyte composition, electrode kinetics, operating voltages and currents, as well as temperature effects.
The Electrodeposition Module brings the power of COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate electrodeposition processes. Easy-to-use physics interfaces are provided for primary, secondary, and tertiary current distribution models, while very accurate geometric representations of deposited layer buildup are included as model parameters.
The Electrodeposition Module is applicable to a variety of diverse applications including; metal deposition for electronics and electrical parts, corrosion and wear protection, decorative electroplating, electroforming of parts with thin and complex structures, and metal electrowinning.

A girl of 13 was taken to hospital after being headbutted outside Sainsbury's in Calne.
She was standing in front of the store, in The Pippin, with friends when she was attacked by a 16-year-old girl at about 7.50pm on June 29.
She was able to give a good description of the girl to Calne PCSO Mark Cook, who told her to stay there while he searched the area.
He found the 16-year-old walking past the library on The Strand and she admitted the headbutting.
The injured girl was taken to hospital by her father after a paramedic suggested she might have broken her nose.
PCSO Cook, who was out dealing with another case, said the girl had not been arrested but the matter was still being investigated.
He said: "I did not want to leave the injured girl, but I knew that the offender would still be close by and I wanted to catch the person responsible for this attack.
"I ensured that the girl remained at the location in the care of her friends.
"This was an unprovoked attack on a young female and this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated in our town.
"I was in the right place at the right time to be able to respond and the offender was quickly located."

You may have heard that 2014 was declared the "Year of the Family Farmer" by the United Nations. Well, if 2014 is the year of the family farmer, then it's also the year of the Millennial--as will be 2015, and 2016 and likely 2020. Move over Baby Boomers, the Millennials are taking over. That shift will potentially change the food system as we know it--and it's a trend that's here to stay.
Millennials, or the generation born between 1982 and 2001, have had (and will continue to have) a profound effect on grocery markets, restaurant trends and food production as we in agriculture know it. Capturing Millennial's interest in meat, milk and eggs will be crucial to securing new opportunities in food for the next 30-40 years.
At nearly 80 million strong, Millennials represent nearly 27 percent of our United States population today. Not only do Millennials represent almost a third of our total population, but they also will have the greatest influence on our nation's children, as more and more Millennials become parents. That's quite a hefty population of consumers tied to one demographic.
Most of us in agriculture have heard of Millennials, after all, they're hard to ignore when large restaurants and retailers, including Chipotle, make no attempt to hide their advertisements specifically targeted towards "Gen Y" customers. But many in ag have not yet cracked the code on how to communicate to this complex generation. Make no mistake: It's difficult to piece together the puzzle on what makes a Millennial tick. It's a generation marked by contradictions unlike any previous age bracket.
Millennials are guided by competing principles including (1) being honest; (2) living life to the fullest; (3) taking responsibility for your own life; and (4) standing up for what you believe in. All this makes their relationship with food and agriculture even more complicated.
For Millennials, it's all about the food. According to a recent study compiled by BBDO in Atlanta, five out of 10 Millennials consider themselves "foodies," and food is not just a form of digestion, but also a form of self-expression.
Millennials have a fascination with food; for them food is entertainment, a means to share their personality and story with the world--and they do. Over 88 percent of Millennials admit that they use their phones at the table--many to take pictures of what they eat to share on Instagram or Twitter. Food is art; just check out the hashtag #foodporn if you don't believe me.
And then there's Millennial's relationship with health, or as some call it, the guilt complex. For Millennials, while taste matters, so does health. Millennials are reading labels, looking for healthy alternatives, and doing their research about food production.
Perhaps what's most interesting about Millennials, however, are the values that define their actions and interactions. In countless studies, Millennials nationwide identified honesty as what matters most in how they live their lives. Millennials want authenticity, transparency and integrity. Pretension need not apply.
For us in agriculture, we've long struggled with how to best "pull the trigger" on true transparency, but it's becoming abundantly clear that the longer we wait to truly be transparent, the bigger the opportunity we're wasting to connect with America's most influential generation. The food they eat and the people they eat it with are integral to the life of a Millennial--and lucky for us, we're in the business of producing food.
This fact alone should make us a natural "bestie" of the average Millennial, yet we just can't seem to crack their code. We're on the outside looking in; we haven't quite mastered the secret handshake.
Perhaps we're struggling to communicate with Millennials because they are--more than anything--a generation defined by contradictions.
They eat fast food more than any other age group, yet they care about health. They want value, yet are willing to pay more for perceived "higher quality" food products. They distrust corporations yet frequent large restaurants and retailers that appear trendy and eclectic (see: Chipotle). They care about themselves, but they also care about causes and are willing to contribute to campaigns they believe in.
Put simply, Millennials see the world differently--and in order to crack their code, we need to figure out not how to see the world as they see it, but rather to see food differently, to shake things up, to take the road less traveled.
We also, as an entire animal ag community, need to seize upon this opportunity to discuss the importance of protecting consumer choice. If there were ever a time for the entire industry to unite behind one message, that time is now. Millennials aren't one size fits all, and neither is food production. Letting Millennials into food and agriculture can't include canned rhetoric, fear and disparaging comments. Remember--pretension need not apply.
Cracking the Millennial code is all about authenticity, transparency and above all else, honesty. Put aside your frustration over competing trends, confusing research and the ever-complex consumer and remember that agriculture has always had truth on our side. Millennials may be storytellers, but so are farmers. And it's time to share our story.
After all, telling a lie is hard; the truth is simple. I believe we crack this complex generation with simple honesty.
It's a value we all share.

I have always loved spinach. Fresh in salads, frozen, canned, doesn't matter to me. In soups, casseroles, and dips, sauteed in a skillet with a little butter, nothing like it. But... oh how much I love it creamed, especially with a beef entree, making it perfect for a holiday side dish.
Like any green, it cooks down quite a lot so it takes a full 3 pounds of fresh spinach to make my standard 4 to 6 servings, basically a full pound of fresh spinach to get one cup cooked. I'm doing something a little less traditional for our Christmas dinner menu this year, and I've settled that this will be one of my Christmas dinner sides.
This process first very briefly blanches the fresh spinach in a deep pot of water. While you can certainly accomplish the very same thing by sauteing it down in a skillet, with 3 pounds of spinach leaves, doing it all at once in a deep pot just makes sense. Next step dredges it in an ice cold water bath so it retains its beautiful, bright green color. Then you drain it well, squeeze out any excess water and chop it up, after which, it gets cooked in a skillet, where all the other wonderful goodies show up.
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Creamed Spinach©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3 pounds of fresh baby spinach (for 3 cups cooked)
- 8 quarts of water
- 2 tablespoons of kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons of butter, divided
- 1/4 cup of minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 1-1/2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup of finely shredded cheese, optional
- 1 sliced or chopped hard boiled egg, optional
Clean and rinse the spinach well, if needed. Add water to a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Stir in the salt. Drop the spinach in the boiling water a handful at a time, stirring in. Return to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Drain, return to pot and add cold water and ice to stop the cooking process. Drain well, squeeze out excess water, and chop.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet; add the onion and cook until tender but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium high heat, until excess water is evaporated and spinach is mostly dry. Season with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Sprinkle the flour over the top and cook another 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the cream, grate nutmeg in, stir in well and bring to a near boil. Reduce to just under medium, cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, taste, adjust seasonings as needed, and stir in the cheese, if using, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with chopped or sliced boiled egg, if desired. Garnish egg with a light sprinkling of Cajun seasoning and black pepper.
Cook's Notes: Use bacon drippings for part of the butter if desired. I used pepper jack cheese. May substitute frozen spinach, skipping the blanching process. You'll need about three (10 ounce) packages.

Now here's a mystery !!! A couple of months ago when I was in Kent I bought a copy of "Discover Your Ancestors" Issue No. 1, the magazine was published in association with Ancestry.co.uk by DMG Publishing, there was no date on it and I began to wonder if issue no 2 never saw the light of day. I did email DMG asking if further issues were to be printed, but got no reply. So I think that issue 1 was the first and last one.
Anyway the point of this blog is, today, I did a Google Books search to see if The Complete Peerage was available (it isn't) and came across back copies of the US magazine Ancestry. The magazine might be USA based, but there is plenty to interest English genealogists. For instance the December 2000 issue has articles on "The missing 11 days of 1752", Who wants to be a royal heir?", Basic tips to creating an effective newsletter, Exploring Danish roots etc. etc.
Available issues start January 1994 and run through to April 2010 when i think it stopped publication. The magazines can be read online and if you have an iPad or similar that means you can relax and enjoy a quality magazine for free.

I am new to this forum and must admit that Python is not my best friend.
However I am forced to deal with it since I need to make a plugin server to be used in X-Plane.
The thing is that X-Plane has support for Python scripts and can run using this code as a bare minimun.
- Code: Select all
from XPLMDefs import *
from XPLMUtilities import *
from XPLMProcessing import *
from XPLMDataAccess import *
class PythonInterface:
def XPluginStart(self):
self.Name = "PTserver"
self.Sig = "SandyBarbour.Python.Template"
self.Desc = "A test script for the Python Interface."
self.ser = SocketPlugin()
return self.Name, self.Sig, self.Desc
def XPluginStop(self):
def XPluginEnable(self):
return 1
def XPluginDisable(self):
def XPluginReceiveMessage(self, inFromWho, inMessage, inParam):
Where I am struggling is to add a simple http server for sending and receiving a text string when an incomming request is made.
There are lots of general Python example code to be found online and I am able to start and use a server if I go via a Mac Terminal session.
Here is an example http://fragments.turtlemeat.com/pythonwebserver.php
The big problem is that the server must be threaded and non-blocking so it does not mess up the call backs in the plugin.
The classes in Python confuses me big time because it works in a diferent way that I am use tu in ex. Lua scripting.
Can someone please help me in the right direction.
Laid out simple:
Start a http server that serves and takes request in a parallel thread to the X-Plane script, and able to interact via a text string ......

Superstorm Sandy Recovery Continues [POLL/AUDIO]
Six months after Superstorm Sandy slammed the Garden State, two-thirds of those in the hardest hit areas are back to normal.
A new Monmouth University Asbury Park Press poll finds 67 percent of residents in the hardest hit areas say they are fully recovered – that's up from 57 percent in February and 53 percent in December.
"But there is still a group of residents, particularly in the hardest-hit areas, who just have seen no progress whatsoever," says the Director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, Patrick Murray.
He says the survey finds 15 percent of residents in those hard-hit areas indicate they have only barely recovered, or not recovered at all.
The poll also finds 73 percent of New Jerseyans say they're satisfied with the State's recovery so far, while only 20 percent are dissatisfied, but in the hardest-hit areas, 52 percent are confident, and that's down from 64 percent just two months ago.
Murray points out the survey also finds most State residents are very supportive of pitching in and using state funds to help bail out everybody who was hurt, except for possibly the Shore homeowners.
"Our polling has shown they will help rebuild businesses, they will help restore amenities like boardwalks, they will help in terms of building dunes and other issues of storm resistance. But when we asked them about residents down the shore, we find a lot less support. Right now in our poll we find that 52 percent of New Jerseyans say they support using state tax dollars to help rebuild severely damaged private homes down the shore, and 44 percent are opposed."
The survey finds 27 percent of those opposed to helping out shore homeowners say they wouldn't help out any homeowner, because they believe it's not state government's responsibility to use taxpayer money to do that.
Another 15 percent say, specifically, that shore homeowners should not get state aid because they knew the risks that they were taking when they bought a home down the ocean.
In addition, the poll finds 18 percent of respondents believe insurance should take care of Sandy-related damages for shore residents, and if they didn't have enough insurance, then that's their problem – they should have bought more.

Something to Possibly Add
I think it would be a worthwhile addition to work it in that when partnered with Guy, he was able to hold off several "Version 2" jinchuriki. However, I can't figure out how I would word it nor where to go. Does anyone else think it'd be a good addition and can find a good way to work it in the page? Skitts (talk) 17:20, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
Anyone? Skitts (talk) 21:19, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
- If it can be added, I would say add it to the end of the first paragraph in the Abilities section since it already mentions Pain being worried about him interfering with their plans. Joshbl56 21:38, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
Ah, good eye. I think I have a good way to word it. Improve it as you see fit. Skitts (talk) 21:47, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
Why is there no such section? Kakashi used chains while fighting Pain. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:54, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
- In the infobox, there is a section called "tools". In that, I see the chain he used. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 18:57, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
Profile image
Attempt #1
The image of the profile is awful.. can't we change it?? —This unsigned comment was made by Davidenko95 (talk • contribs) .
- If you have a better one from Part I (not Shippuden), then you can upload it as a suggestion. Make sure you upload it to a new file and add the necessary info (see my page for guidelines). Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~) ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 15:27, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I think Shippuden will also work, there's no difference at all. But I don't really see wrong with his image. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 16:02, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
Lol, why can't Shippuden images being used if the character has not changed any noticeably? Thought that's only to portray how they looked at the start of the series ... Kakashi looks the same--Elveonora (talk) 17:22, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
- @Hakinu The Shippuden image can be used in a case like Kakashi where his appearance does not change one bit. The Shippuden image cannot be used if there is a complete change of the character between Part I and Part II --Speysider (Talk Page) 17:54, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
Attempt #2
I've found a better image from the latest episode, but I don't know whether I should crop it to a smaller size since the image I got was captured at 1920x1080 resolution. Should I upload the image as is and ask for your opinion on its suitability ? --Speysider (Talk Page) 10:12, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah Speysider please try to upload it. xD BTW Elveonora, that's my point, though. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 10:23, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Done --Speysider (Talk Page) 10:26, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a good image, but I don't think the other's reaction about his eye. Many guys overlook the image too hard. xD —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 11:31, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- In the first place I dont see any reason to change the existing image. And @Speysider: Your image is good. But the eye seems to be a problem Salil2212™ (talk) 12:13, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- You seem to have no reason to change any of the images when some are poor quality or just plain suck. I don't see how the eye makes any difference, some other images have exactly the same issue and they are fine, so I don't see a problem with this one. The current Kakashi image makes it seem like he is bored and has no enthusiasm whereas the proposed one shows slightly better enthusiasm --Speysider (Talk Page) 12:18, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- I will search for a better image and get back to you Salil2212™ (talk) 12:33, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a good image, but I don't think the other's reaction about his eye. Many guys overlook the image too hard. xD —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 11:31, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Done --Speysider (Talk Page) 10:26, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
I really don't see a thing wrong with the image currently in Kakashi's infobox. It's centric, he's facing forward etc.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:07, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- He's facing forward as well in the proposed image ? --Speysider (Talk Page) 13:11, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Yup. So why change the image when both are almost same ? Salil2212™ (talk) 13:15, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Kakashi's hair looks a bit short in that image from 258. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:32, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- It does seem a bit short, animation error though or the fact that's the only good scene I can use of Kakashi (might be able to use one nearer the end of the episode if possible) from this episode. --Speysider (Talk Page) 19:34, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Attempt #3
I have a good quality image replacement. Should i upload it ?--Salil (talk) 08:44, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Give it a shot Salil! —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 08:48, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Done --Salil (talk) 09:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- I like it. Any opinions guys? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 10:15, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- As Cerez said above, there isn't really a need to change the image. If there was a possibility of an image change, it would be better to use a higher quality one, as your one is slightly blurred. --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:00, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- My image is a png which is offcourse better than the jpg used now. I dont find it blurr at all. Also the eye in the existing image looks weird. --Salil (talk) 11:05, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- As Cerez said above, there isn't really a need to change the image. If there was a possibility of an image change, it would be better to use a higher quality one, as your one is slightly blurred. --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:00, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- I like it. Any opinions guys? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 10:15, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Done --Salil (talk) 09:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
It is good as a temporary replacement though. And I never said that u wanted ur image. --Salil (talk) 11:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh lol, sorry for the misunderstanding about the image thing :P --Speysider (Talk Page) 11:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- So we can use that image now? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 11:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Wait for people besides the 3 of you to chime in.
- I will not because I see nothing wrong with the current image and I'm sure this sentiment will lead nowhere in a prolonged discussion.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:09, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know why, but when I make an opinion about a proposed image change, people seem to think the answer is yes, even when I say no. :/ --Speysider (Talk Page) 12:12, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Then if you proposed an image they will say no. Weird. But Salil's image has better quality. I don't know guys WHICH KIND OF IMAGE you like. Most images are rejected, tell me what kind of image? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 12:20, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know why, but when I make an opinion about a proposed image change, people seem to think the answer is yes, even when I say no. :/ --Speysider (Talk Page) 12:12, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- So we can use that image now? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 11:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- It was not me who started this disscussion . The only thing is that the image is of a low quality and HIS EYE LOOKS SMALL --Salil (talk) 12:24, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
I see no point in changing an already excellent image. The current one is of good quality, drawn properly and colored well by the animators, has Kakashi in his typical lazy-aloof expression and he's facing forward. If you can find an image that does all of that better, by all means show us, but I've yet to see one suggested that did so. And what's with the current "we must change every character's infobox image" wave? Skitts (talk) 13:58, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Must be the new thing that's going on the Narutopedia, I really don't like the proposed image either, the current one is fine the way it is. -White Flash-(Talk)- 19:08, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Naming Issue
in the bottom trivia section, it says his name is 畑案山子, so then why is it written in hiragana then katakana at the top? on other pages you don't restrain yourself from using kanji. this wiki is very inconsistent
220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:30, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
yes, i agree, when there's kanji available, i think you should use it. or at least be consistent
Binatang (talk) 03:56, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
Actually, you're not getting it. Kakashi's name is written the way it's in the infobox, the fact it has the same pronunciation as that is meant to be a pun. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:58, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
then maybe in the trivia it should be more clear? it wasn't clear to the first poster, i think maybe cuz it doesn't specifically say that it's a play on words in the trivia part?b eh doesn't bother me too much
Binatang (talk) 04:03, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
With the "Kakashi" part, I'm not sure. It seems that when Kakashi is meant to mean scarecrow, as is the case with the character, it is usually written using kana alone. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:07, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
oh yes, that is true. while kanji exists for the word kakashi, it's non-standard, and should be written in kana, only old people will still use kanji for this word, because the japanese language was not standardized until after world war II i guess this matter is resolved Binatang (talk) 04:11, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
ANBU Kakashi
Isn't that picture from a movie (non-canon material) ??? "_"--Elveonora (talk) 22:43, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, the first movie. Though it's not the only instance where non-canon material is used to illustrate canon information. It's been replaced with something more canon. --The Goblin 03:00, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
Cool, just found it weird to have a scene from non-canon movie pasted there to showcase a canonical event. Same goes for younger Teuchi from the 4th Shippuden movie image, it's not canonical yet still used 0_o--Elveonora (talk) 14:58, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Is it not cannonical in the sense that it breaks the timeline barrier like the image of Tsunade meeting her grandfather or in the sense that it's from the movie? Because I believe once there's nothing wrong with the timeline of the image it can be used until we possibly get one from the manga. The same would go for Kurotsuchi as a child, how are we to know that she wasn't blonde and curly-haired otherwise?--Cerez365™(talk) 15:03, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
The Kurotsuchi is questionable and for a review, that's why I brought it up :) and for Teuchi, not just it's from movie, but the timeline of Ichiraku Ramen opening is incorrect--Elveonora (talk) 15:20, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
Kakashi's age during the Kakashi Gaiden
Is there any evidence which suggests Kakashi was 13 when he got promoted to Jonin? I'm having trouble finding evidence for the notion that he was 13 at the Gaiden.--Jingo12 (talk) 19:43, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
- That comes from a pattern observed in the teams of Kohona. They all graduate at the same age, and Obito's age of death in the databooks is 13. Kakashi was promoted just before Obito died, so if they're the same age, he was promoted at age 13. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:20, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
You can even calculate it... 30-17=13, in Gaiden Kakashi was just recently promoted--Elveonora (talk) 02:31, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
Though is there anything explicitly saying/suggesting that the Kakashi Gaiden took place 1 year prior the Kyuubi attack?
I get the pattern, though I always figured Kakashi's age was referenced at some point.--Jingo12 (talk) 00:12, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
Because Minato was elected right after the war and got killed in a year?--Elveonora (talk) 00:23, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
He was only being given gifts for being Promoted to Jonin, he was 9 when he became a Jonin. Do the math with their graduation ages and use Chapter 599 and you will see, he's just big for his age and was a Genius of course so he advanced easily, but there is one problem, Itachi was 4 during the 3rd war and Kakashi is 9years 8months and 25days older than Itachi. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:16, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
No, Kakashi was surely promoted to Jounin at 13. Why would they give him gifts for his promotion 3 years later? ;D Basically you said it yourself, there's a problem... time-line screw up--Elveonora (talk) 10:14, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
You are right, he was promoted at 13. There is a timeline screw up. It can be remedied somewhat if they retcon what tobi said about itachi being 4 years when he got traumatized by the 3rd war. Then if they remove Kakashi and most of the others from most of the chapter 599 flashbacks, then it will be manageable. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 08:21, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
So there's no actual databook, manga or fan book statement to back this claim up? FallenAngelII (talk) 17:46, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Obito and Kakashi are the same year age and Obito died at 13 and is 7 Months and 5 days older than Kakashi. The 3rd war ended shortly after the Kannabi bridge was destroyed and then Minato was elected Hokage. Not long after that, a year at most.. Naruto was born and the Kyuubi attacked, Kakashi was 14 and 25days when the Kyuubi Attacked. Do the math, Kakashi Surely was 13 when he became Jonin and Obito died, also Kakashi is 9 years 8months and 25days older than Itachi. Do the math. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:12, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
But, they didn't graduate at the same age. Kakashi was four years younger when he graduated. (Anonymius (talk) 12:44, November 3, 2012 (UTC))
Sharingan Deterioration
In naruto manga 598 page 12 is possible to see blood dripping from kakashi's eye.—This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
Well, he wasn't using it as often as Itachi and Sasuke, so that explains the lateness of bleeding/sight degradation--Elveonora (talk) 13:51, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Sasuke's eye bled the first time he cast Amaterasu (from Itachi's Tensha Fuuin). Kamui might just take much less strain on the eye than Amaterasu. Remember, Itachi's eye has never bled from casting Tsukuyomi. FallenAngelII (talk) 13:19, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Kishimoto Mess-Up in Chapter 599
Um.. Kakashi is said to have become Chuunin at the age of 6... in the manga he clearly looks 13 or older. Should this be noted? —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .

wait.. his rank should be Anbu
Since he was promoted to Anbu for many years after becoming Jonin at 13, even if he is not in the Anbu anymore he should still be Anbu rank, just like former Kage are still Kage rank. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 07:26, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
umm actually, the anbu are really more so a team than a rank. and as for the kage thing, its because they were still kage at the time of their deaths.126.96.36.199 (talk) 07:38, September 4, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
That's not the way Anbu rank works, its a separate rank altogether. Since Kakashi joined the ranks of the regular forces, he can longer be Anbu ranked, if he's not an Anbu...--Cerez365™(talk) 11:00, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Orochimaru was no longer Anbu when he left as shown by his normal Jonin outfit and the fact he was not with Danzo or Hiruzen as an Anbu at that time and yet on his rank he is still currently classified as Anbu. Yamato no longer was Anbu as he became a Jonin again and part of Team 7 and yet he is still labeled as Anbu. Same with Sai, he is no longer Anbu and yet he is still labeled as such. A LOT of people are in fact. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 16:15, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
Unless I'm mistaken, ANBU position and a ninja rank are listed separately, unless only one is known--Elveonora (talk) 01:15, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
When did we find out what age he became Jounin
When did we find out that Kakashi became a Jounin at age 13 or close to age 13? A debate has broken out on NarutoForums and I can't find any manga or databook pages to supposed that supposition. Does anyone know? FallenAngelII (talk) 13:13, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Use this Calculator in conjuction with given birthdates for Kakashi and Obito and Rin and Gai and Naruto and Itachi. I used it and found Kakashi is 14 years and 25 days older than Naruto. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:10, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
Undergarment and head band color?
Now I know this is going to sound stupid, but please bear with me... Is it worth noting that Kakashi's undergarment and headband colors differs from the Shippuden anime and the Part II manga? In the anime he still retains the dark blue undergarments, while in the the Part II manga (color pages) it is black? On Chapter 531 cover, one sees Kakashi's garments and headband is colored black. And like I said at the beginning, I know it sounds stupid to bring such a trivial thing up, but I did see it was worth noticing in Mu's Appearance section that his (Mu's) headband color change was changed in the anime, from the original manga color. Sparxs77 (talk) 15:24, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
Face under mask
in chapter 16 i thought when kakashi wakes up and startles naruto and sakura sakura whispers something about trying to look under his mask? i do not own this chapter and have only read it on mangahere, if you want a look its page 19, chapter 16 —This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
So?--Elveonora (talk) 16:08, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
Sharingan question after chapter 605.
Ok so i will try to do it short .. my question is this one , not even a question , just food for thought.. in the last chapter it show that Obito and Kakashi awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time.. could it be the fact that , even a transplanted eyes still linked to the original wielder or something ? because it happen almost instantly like they are in sync.. i know it not a forum but if it true something about it should be said under the sharingan section.--Tchad1 (talk) 11:54, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
- That's always a possibility. However, it could also be equally possible that the two just witnessed/did something that was truly traumatic casing the eye to awaken. Kakashi did after all kill someone near and dear to him and Obito witnessed it.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:06, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a possibility, and something that will likely be cleared up soon. Given Madara's talk about how both eyes need to be together to gain their full power, I would think that is somehow involved but that's still within the realm of speculation and as such, should not be incorporated into the articles until we know the facts.--Soul reaper (talk) 15:21, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
How can we say that the eyes aren't connected when Obito was able to see what Kakashi was seeing? Also, Kakashi was in the process of passing out as the MS was being formed. Only Obito was 100% alert and aware at Rin actually dying. Not saying Kakashi wasn't aware, but as I stated, he was in the process of passing out. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 13:09, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
Error about the interpretation of "You let Rin die"
About this sentence, reading various forums I noticed the spread of a misinterpretation of the phrase present also on the pages of Kakashi and Obito in this wikia. From a conversation between me and a Japanese translator on NF:
- My question: Reading Narutopedia I had doubts about the infamous answer of Obito "You let Rin die"... could you please say me takL if it was reffered to the question of Kakashi about the reason because Obito remained hidden from Konoha, or if it was the anser to the reason for his actions (and consequently the Moon's eye plan)?
- The answer of the translator: kakashi asked obito "if u re alive... why untill now (have you not shown yourself to me)...?" and obito said "but...yea ...if you really ask me why (I havent)..." "thats because you didnt save rin...""from dying...perhaps" So its the former i assume.
I think so that the part of the articles about the sentence in Kakashi and Obito's profile should be corrected.
PS: To avoid misunderstandings, I say this indipendentely from the effective reasons of Obito for his acts (I have no problems with these in any cases), it's just to not do a wrong information on the wikia.--JK88 (talk) 13:06, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
The only place I could find it was in the chapter article, which was changed.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:23, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
- In the end of the paragraph part II is written: "When Kakashi questions him as to how he survived, Obito avoids his question but explains the reason for his plans; Kakashi's failure to protect Rin, causing Obito to hate "this useless reality", an answer that only caused Kakashi to sink further in depression."
- While under the page of Obito Uchiha, always in the end of the paragraph on part II, is reported: "When asked how he survived, Obito dodged the question and instead reveals his motivation; Kakashi's inability to save Rin, leading Obito to hate the reality they live in."
- I don't see why those need to be changed. YOu have an issue with "you let Rin die" yes? And the translator says Obito directly said "thats because you didnt save rin...""from dying...perhaps". Outside of writing it word-for-word. They're saying the same thing. You didn't save her, you failed to protect her/inability to save her. The differences don't seem so big that they should cause an issue to readers.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:53, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry I think that I have expressed bad my thoughts, I have no problem with this sentence, the point of my reasoning wasn't the words of Obito but the reason for them. I wanted just say that many readers in the forums think that Obito's answer was referred to the reason because he started the moon's eye plan. In that panel anyway he was just answering about the reason because he remained hidden from Konoha (the previous question of Kakashi): indeed if in the recent chapters Rin wasn't die (by the inability of Kakashi), who could think that Obito would return to Madara? Finally free, surely he would definitely return to Konoha.
Normal eyes
On this page (page 7 i guess without the fanart) of chapter 608 Kakashi is seen with two normal eyes. My guess would be that this is simply an error, but what do you guys think. --Cosmikaze (talk) 14:03, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
He probably deactivate his sharingan. MaskedManMadara (talk) 14:07, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Oh sorry I forgot that he can't does that. so its a error. MaskedManMadara (talk) 14:08, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Kakashi has learned to use the warping part of Kamui
He has learned to warp himself with it just like Obito. As shown in 608. It should be added in his Mangekyo section. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:24, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
- All of Kamui is warping. Kakashi simply did the same thing he always does, on himself.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:12, November 8, 2012 (UTC)
Has his resemblance to Rikimaru been noted before? I can't seem to find it anywhere on this wiki, but the similarities are too coincidental to not be noted. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:30, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Because the "this character looks like another" thing isn't done on this wikia.--Cerez365™(talk) 18:34, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
But it's from another series and can we at least suggest the heavy physical similarities between these two? They're virtually identical(albeit in a different sort of animation). --188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:40, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
- No. The link between the two would have to be much more stronger for that connection to be mentioned in the article.--Cerez365™(talk) 19:40, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
What about the same colored mask over the same part of the face, a katana equipped in the back, gray spiked hair, he's a main character ninja in the Tenchu series who is noted to have a calm composure? If that's not enough, then I give up, because there's no further similarities to my knowledge.--188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:56, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Unless Kishimoto-sensei says so. Or if there is an undeniable connection between both the character and the series creator. Then i'd say not to add it.188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:17, November 9, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
I agree. This is Naruto, not Tenchu. So stop this unnecessary discussion about Kakashi and Rikumaru. Zoeyua (talk) 20:26, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Possible wrong sentence
At the same time, he has mysteriously not shown any signs of deteriorating vision despite having accessed it for nearly two decades and used Kamui multiple times in a single battle. I think that this sentence, the last one under the voice "Mangekyou Sharingan", should be deleted because the wrong info inside it: at the beginning of the Shippuuden, Kakashi say to Naruto and Sakura to be improved also him like them because now he has a new jutsu (talking about the Kamui), so it's a sign that he hasn't ever used his MS before the timeskip or at least he wasn't able to use his jutsu. This explain because he hasn't lost his sight until now, thing that anyway it's happened in a certain measure, like his words to Itachi suggest it during his meeting with him in the rescue of Gaara's mission. And about Kakashi's multiple use of Kamui, an explanation could be simply the improvement of his stamina, an hypothesis taken in consideration under the voice "Chakra prowess" comparing the different abilities shown by Kakashi in battle during the series.--JK88 (talk) 13:55, November 10, 2012 (UTC)--JK88 (talk) 13:59, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
Mayhaps I should explain the reason here:
- There is no plausible explanation for what Kakashi said to Itachi when he asked him how far his eyesight had deteriorated.
- Kakashi unlike Uchiha cannot deactivate the eye, ergo he cannot use it as a normal eye. So the opportunity for us to see how far his eyesight has deteriorated, is non-existent.
- Also bear in mind that the deterioration of the eyesight does not stop them from using the dōjutsu any at all (until they go blind presumably) and Kakashi predominantly uses the Sharingan only using its evolved form since the encounter with Deidara.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:26, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
As far as we all know Kakashi, I expect him to figure out that an Uchiha would get more side effects other than the non-Uchiha, which are the deterioration of the eye. Either way, we still haven't seen him show any signs of deterioration of his eye, so we can't say that he's suffering from it. --X29 17:24, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
The absence of evidence does not mean the evidence of absence.220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:42, November 10, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
- Ah, but the absence of evidence means it doesn't get mentioned on this wikia. In the same manner you think that we're assuming that his eyes is deteriorating, is the same way people assume that itn't. However, there is more evidence pointing towards it happening than it not.--Cerez365™(talk) 18:36, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed. Just because it's not stated doesnt mean that it isn't happening. I think that until he's stated to be a special case, that we simply keep it like it is for every mangekyo sharingan weilder.184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:57, November 10, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Everyone who held the Mangekyo Sharingan other than Obito and Shisui suffered eye deterioration. Obito's right eye didn't suffer any, which would mean that the left eye, which Kakashi has, wouldn't suffer either. As for Shisui's eye, I have no idea. Probably 'cause Danzo had Senju DNA with him. --X29 03:05, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Not because no one responds to this in a day means it's over and you can re-add the information. There's three people here against the addition of the information which technically means it cannot be readd. I'm not sure I can respond to your logic, because it is inherently flawed so how about we let other people chime in. Because I've explained to you already in my first post why you would probably never see signs of Kakashi's eyesight deteriorating- go read it again.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:04, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
There were multiple times where we could've seen how his vision weakened. For instance, the Kazekage Rescue Arc and the Invasion of Pain Arc. I won't go on and keep counting. It's such a drag......... --X29 13:48, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
|Kakashi unlike Uchiha cannot deactivate the eye, ergo he cannot use it as a normal eye. So the opportunity for us to see how far his eyesight has deteriorated, is non-existent.
Never will see him stumble? Remember in the Land of Waves Arc, after Haku took Zabuza's 'corpse'? Kakashi collapsed after taking a few steps. There were other times where he showed tiredness from using the normal Sharingan, but I won't recall them, as it's such a drag... At any case, we won't see him tired from using the normal Sharingan in Shippuden, of course, since he's stronger and grown more accustomed to it. --X29 15:59, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
I meant in the way that Sasuke did when he knocked over the glass. Maybe I should have said "fumble". Don't include any time that Kakashi's fallen because of fatigue. And until we find evidence that Kakashi's eye is not sinking into blindness then it can't be mentioned in his article. You're free to beleive whatever you want however.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:05, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
I don't know what Sasuke has to do with this, but in response to what you last said, we don't have any evidence of his eye sinking to blindness either. He knows that the Mangekyo Sharingan sinks the eyes to blindness, yes, but he hasn't shown any signs of it other than chakra exhaustion and visible strain, which aren't signs to losing the eyesight unless the eye's bleeding, which is what happens to every eye that possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, except for Obito's and Shisui's, which are excused probably for Senju DNA. --X29 16:25, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
Obito Uchiha & Kakashi Hatake - Gained Mangekyou Sharingan nearly 20 years ago. Both still capable of seeing and using it.
Itachi Uchiha - Gained Mangekyou Sharingan what, 8 years before his death? Ended up practically blind fighting Sasuke.
Sasuke Uchiha - Had Mangekyou Sharingan after fighting Itachi. Ended up practically blind by the time he met Team Seven again.
Notice the difference here? There is not set timer on the deterioration. Itachi pulled out all the stops fighting Sasuke, he used Tsukiyomi 'til it broke, spewed Amaterasu 'til the whole place was on fire and summoned Susanoo. He still had it for eight years before we saw notable deterioration in his vision. Sasuke spammed Susanoo and went blind in what, a week or two? If anything, I think we can infer Susanoo does the most damage to the eyesight, but other than that there's no set limit on these things so we can't say if Obito, Kakashi or Shisui's eyes were/are deteriorating, just that it hasn't happened yet. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 02:25, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
Then X29, if there's no evidence that it is or isn't sinking into blindness then it isn't our place to assume that it is or isn't. I was merely pointing out the fact that there is more evidence for it than against it and with no solid proof it shouldn't be mentioned in the article any at all. That can be left up to reader's minds to wander. I believe I'm now done with this discussion.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:47, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
While hoping this isn't misconstrued as a forum matter - while I agree with Cere and others there is no outwardly stated evidence toward either side (though my just-woke-up-memory makes me feel like I remember something mentioned in the manga about the lack of loss), I do have to disagree that there is more evidence towards it. In fact, to say that after stating there's no references supporting it yet say there is still more to support it is contradictory. But that aside...
I feel there's more evidence toward them (Obito and Kakashi) not losing eyesight. What we have to go by are two Uchiha of Sasuke's family, and they use 3 very specific techniques relative to their Mangekyou. Yet 2 Sharigan are completely unrelated and the three users have not used any of the 3 stereotypical techniques (yet; and Shisui being dead). We've seen loss associated with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, loss perhaps been different in each eye - while Susanoo seems to accelerate it in both (mindful all speculative). Yet Obito, hasn't shown any loss despite having used it in the same manner as Sasuke, while Kakashi was perhaps more like Itachi.
Of course, Kakashi isn't an Uchiha, but unless Kish decides to even make a hint out of it, then we have no reason to even entertain the notion he has any eyesight loss, and given the nature of how Kish has gone about it - it is more of a notion that there is no loss (at least as of yet - which is exacerbated by the fact of Obito; Kamui is not known to cause any eyesight loss - something very important to remember). And, in fact, he seems to be able to use it even more proficiently in this latest arc. While he cannot switch to a normal eye, the eyesight loss was always also seen while using Sharingan in the 2 "stereotype" Mangekyou. So we would also notice that as it is something Kish would've pointed out (it's actually something pretty significant that shouldn't be missed).184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:29, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
- About Obito I wanted just say that if he hasn't signs of loss of eyesight (how seems, given that he has always fought using Kamui and never shown possible collateral effects in his behavior), the more likely hypothesis is that such advantage is given for the presence of a massive quantitative of Senjuu Dna (that from various examples we already now like is able to improve the skills of the sharingan). In the conversation with Kakashi, the words of the copyninja seems clearly indicate that he knows so well the Mangekyou, included his drawbacks, just because he has experimentd on himself, thing that seems confirmed when later against Deidara, we discover that also Kakashi is able to use the Mangekyou; so the Kamui is not an exception among the MS jutsus.--JK88 (talk) 22:19, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

A MUM has criticised Rail bosses after her infant daughter got through a level crossing gap seconds before a train hurtled by.
Alex Jacob said the gap only appeared when a new crossing was installed under controversial Network Rail plans.
But the rail infrastructure firm has said parents had to take responsibility for their children's safety.
The two village crossings in Steventon are the only ones in a residential area on a high speed line in the country.
Mrs Jacob, 41, was with daughter Elizabeth and her dog when they came to the crossing at The Causeway on May 4.
Earlier this year Network Rail removed staff who operated the barriers on site and it now runs them remotely via CCTV from Swindon.
She said: "I stopped to put the dog on the lead and, as I was doing that, my two-year-old walked up to the gates, which were down.
"I wasn't too concerned as I assumed there was no way she could get onto the line and that she would just stand at the gates and watch the train.
"To my horror she turned to her left and began to slip down a toddler-sized gap between the barrier base and fence."
Mrs Jacob said she "dived" to grab Elizabeth before she got through the other side, "a split second before she would have gone out of my reach".
She said: "A few seconds later a train came past."
She fears a child or dog could pass through the gap at the crossing and another at Stocks Lane in the village.
The Stocks Lane resident, also mum to Isabelle, four months, said: "I believe that the railway has a duty of care to ensure such holes and gaps do not exist."
Steventon Parish Council opposed the move to remove staff from the site and has raised Mrs Jacob's case with Network Rail. The new barrier system took effect from April 15. No jobs were lost.
Network Rail spokesman Kate Snowden said: "The level crossing at Causeway has recently been renewed is now automated and operated with CCTV managed at Swindon integrated control.
"The crossing is a visual and physical barrier to warn motorists and pedestrians of approaching trains, but just as with crossings on busy roads, anyone waiting with small children or pets should keep them close.
"As a safety measure, the signaller will check the crossing is clear on the monitor before letting trains pass."
Steventon parish councillor Joe Bennett said: "We have had numerous problems with Network Rail over the past year since it pushed through the changes to the crossing.
"The latest problem is they have left large gaps in the fence either side of the barriers, meaning that small children are able to sneak through the gap.
"We told them about this a long time ago and they have still done nothing about it."

During the turbulent 1940s, artist George Ault (1891-1948) created precise yet eerie pictures—works of art that have come to be seen, following his death, as some of the most original paintings made in America in those years. The beautiful geometries of Ault's paintings make personal worlds of clarity and composure to offset a real world he felt was in crisis.
To Make a World captures a 1940s America that was rendered fragile by the Great Depression and made anxious by a global conflict. Although much has been written about the glorious triumph of the Second World War, what has dimmed over time are memories of the anxious tenor of life on the home front, when the country was far distant from the battlefields and yet profoundly at risk. The exhibition centers on five paintings Ault made between 1943 and 1948 depicting the crossroads of Russell's Corners in Woodstock, N.Y. The additional twenty-two artists represented in this exhibition include some as celebrated as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, while others are scarcely known to today's art audiences. Taken together, their artworks reveal an aesthetic vein running through 1940s American art that previously has not been identified. From their remote corners of the country, these artists conveyed a still quietude that seems filled with potentialities.
To Make a World brings viewers back into the world of the American 1940s, drawing them in through the least likely of places and spaces: not grand actions, not cataclysmic events, not epoch-making personalities, posters, and headlines, but silent regions where some mystery seems always on the verge of being disclosed.
Alexander Nemerov, the Vincent Scully Professor of the History of Art at Yale University, is the curator of the exhibition.
The accompanying book, co-published by the museum and Yale University Press, is written by Alexander Nemerov with a foreword by Elizabeth Broun, The Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the museum. It is available for purchase ($45) online, and at the museum's store and bookstores nationwide.
