Your child needs lots of essential vitamins and minerals for growth and development. They include vitamins A, B, C, D and E and minerals such as calcium, iron, iodine and zinc.
The best way for your child to get enough vitamins and minerals is by eating a wide variety of fresh foods, including:
Our bodies absorb vitamins, minerals and other nutrients better when they come from food, rather than from vitamin and mineral supplements.
Liver, meat, milk and eggs, and orange fruit and vegies, such as carrots and sweet potatoes
Other essential minerals include phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese and chromium.
If your child isn't getting enough vitamins or minerals over a period of time, this is often called a 'deficiency'. It means there's a shortage of one or more vitamins and minerals in your child's body.
Common vitamin deficiencies
In Australia, the vitamins that kids are most likely to be low on are these two:
Common mineral deficiencies
Australian kids are most commonly deficient in the following minerals:
If your child has a restricted diet, you might need to be extra careful about making sure he gets all the vitamins and minerals he needs.
For example, vegetarian or vegan diets can make it more difficult to get enough iron. Food allergies or intolerances can make it harder for your child to get enough calcium. With careful planning and a bit of research on other ways to get these nutrients into your child's diet, you can get around these issues.
If your child has a chronic disease that affects how she absorbs food – such as coeliac disease or Crohn's disease – the vitamins and minerals in a standard healthy diet might not be enough for her. Your GP or a dietitian can help you work out what you need to do to.
Children who eat lots of 'sometimes' foods, like sweet drinks, chips and cakes, might fill up on those and not have enough room for the foods that give them essential vitamins and minerals. You could try limiting sometimes foods to special occasions.
Our bodies need only tiny amounts of vitamins and minerals – more isn't necessarily better.
Large amounts of some vitamins can actually be dangerous. For example, fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A build up in the body if they're taken in excessive amounts, whereas water-soluble vitamins can be passed out of the body in wee. Large doses of some minerals can also cause problems.
If you're concerned that your child's diet could be leaving him low on some vitamins or minerals, and he isn't able to eat more food containing the vitamins and minerals he needs, see your doctor or a dietitian for advice. They might suggest taking an appropriate supplement.
Note that vitamin and mineral supplements can interact with medications. It's important to let your doctor know if your child takes a vitamin or mineral supplement when she's prescribed any medications.

Portland General Electric (PGE) has agreed to buy the second phase of Puget Sound Energy Inc.'s Lower Snake River wind farm, located near Dayton, Wash., in a deal that could cost as much $535 million.
According to PGE, RES Americas Construction will build the 267 MW wind farm, which will feature 116 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines. The transaction is expected to close in August 2013, subject to customary conditions.
PGE will own and operate the facility, creating up to 300 jobs during construction and about 18 full-time operating positions. The facility is expected to be complete in 2015 and generate enough power to serve about 84,000 residential customers. The timing of construction and project milestones has been structured to enable the project to qualify for federal production tax credits that will reduce the cost of the facility for PGE's customers by approximately $253 million during the life of the project.
Phase two of the Lower Snake River project was the best-performing proposal from among 64 bids representing 39 distinct generating projects that were submitted in response to PGE's request for proposals for renewable resources.
Together with PGE's existing owned and contracted renewable power generating resources, the new wind facility will allow PGE to comply with state standards requiring the utility to supply 15% of the power it delivers to customers from qualifying renewable sources beginning in 2015.
PGE has also signed a new memorandum of understanding with the Bonneville Power Administration to seek mutual transmission capacity solutions, resulting in the company's decision to suspend permitting and development of the proposed Cascade Crossing transmission project.

Audion Premier Quattro 2 and 4 Box Pre-Amp
What's the best car? The best guitar? The best wine? The best loudspeaker? The best watch? In most categories, there is no "best," just contenders. In high-end audio preamps, however, this is the best, right now in 2006 and probably next year too: The Audion Quattro in 4 box or 2 box configuration. Preamps are troublesome components, having to accept a small magnitude and delicate signal and amplify its voltage so that same signal can inform the muscle needed from the power amp. Along the way, there are sockets, switches, volume and balance controls, and myriad solder connections to degrade that signal and, by extension, your sound. Then there's noise to be dodged, various amplifier input impedances to be mated to, and the circuit has to make as little imprint of its own on the sound as is possible in an imperfect world. At the end of the chain before hand-off to the power amp, the original signal must maintain its fidelity and meaty tone. All this is why many audiophiles are frequently heard declaring, "Preamps suck!" Well, they don't. There are always a few good ones and while nothing outward about an Audion Quattro suggests why it is the best preamp, it nevertheless is. From their first preamp well over a decade ago, Audion has consistently demonstrated special insight about preamp circuits. Using vacuum tubes, their circuits combine speedy transient response with seamless, fluid tone that preserves the emotion and expressiveness in any music you play. If you play vinyl, Audion phono sections have always excelled as well. The new generation Quattro delivers these qualities same as before, but just more so. Even driving other manufacturers' power amplifiers, the full-bodied holistic tonal fidelity of the Quattro preamp informs the performance of everything downstream from it. Not the last word in convenience, the Audion Quattro is a multi-decade purchase with dual-mono construction, so yes you have separate switching and volume controls for each channel in a stereo system, but effort is low and the rotary volume switch makes channel-to-channel matching quick and repeatable. No, there isn't a remote control option either, at least not yet. I've owned or heard every preamp worth mentioning in high-end audio for the past 40 years and owned several during that time. This preamp will place more tonal realism and impactful emotion in your system than any competing preamp you can buy. If you look through my list here on ThisNext, you're probably getting the idea that an Audion + Zu soundchain is something you ought to be playing your music through. Americans can contact Ray of Sound at the link, to find a US retalier. Everyone else can find what they need at Audion's UK web site, below.

The equivalent of alt- or indie music in the audiophile realm is "SET," Single-Ended Triode amplification. SET is embraced and admired by what the Best Buy and Magnolia crowd thinks of as the lunatric fringe of hifi, for its beautiful, holistic, liquid tone, honest presentation, and achingly emotive fidelity to the original music. In an SET amp, there is no splitting of the positive and negative waveforms during amplification, as there is in the more common "Push-Pull" topology. The price of having one tube (or a pair in parallel) do all the work is inefficiency. On a per-dollar basis, you don't get much power in conventional terms, but you do get heat. But well-executed, an SET amp can deliver uniquely glorious sound. The trouble with most SET amps is deficient power. You need hyper-efficient speakers to get satisfying volume and dynamics from two to seven watts per channel. Zu speakers have the efficiency to make those watts go a long way, but not everyone has Zu. Nor a small room to limit the challenge of filling it with satisfying music. The answer is the Audion Elite, the best 845 tube amp going. Built around the big, sexy, retro, illuminating, Fritz-Lang-meets-Tesla vibe of the fistful-of-glass 845 triode, the Audion Elite pumps out 24 honest watts per channel with enough drive to sound like 3 times that into real speaker loads, while keeping that heavenly triode tone intact. A simple 3-tube circuit per side, this 3-box stereo amp is inexpensive to own and maintain, thanks to robust build and good contemporary Chinese tubes that sound great in this circuit. The Audion Elite amplifier has a big-toned dynamic sound that's also refined, subtle and fresh. The sonic, tonal and drive match with Zu speakers is sensationally synergistic, but in most rooms, this amp has the muscle to pump triode tone at satisfying level through any speaker with at least 88db/w/m efficiency. Unlike most euphonic triode amps with round sound that also seem a trifle slow, all of Audion's amps have their trademark transient speed, transperancy and definition, including the big-tube Elite. Most digital disk players can drive the Elite inputs directly, and each channel has a level control so a single-source system can get by nicely without a preamp. Still, tone is even more truthful with a preamp, so if you have the eggs, mate the Audion Quattro preamp with the Elite power amp for an experience at the very top echelon of musicality in audio gear today. There are a ton of decent SET 845 tube amps around right now, thanks to an explosion of discerning music loving EEs in China, the US and Europe. Hard to go wrong with any of them, but this one is the best so far, making everything from Government Mule to Drive-By Truckers, to Tom Waits to Rosa Passos to Shostakovich sound convincing, penetrating and true.Tags: music, Stereo, hifi, Audion, the best, power amp, vacuum tube power amp, 845 tube, 845 tube ampAdded 11 Years Ago from Rayofsound

QPR 0 v 0 CRYSTAL PALACE
Welcome to this afternoon's game at Loftus Road between QPR and Crystal Palace after a two-week break that both teams probably needed.
Neil Warnock makes two changes to the side that secured a goalless draw against Reading two Saturday's ago as Claude Davis returns from injury in place of Jose Fonte, while Nick Carle comes in for John Oster.
Palace: Speroni, Clyne, Lawrence, Davis, Hill, Derry, Oster, Danns, Stokes, Kuqi, Moses. Subs: J Fonte, Scowcroft, Hills, Ifill, R Fonte.
QPR: Cerny, Delaney, Leigertwood, Routledge, Gorkss, Ramage, Connolly, Miller, Di Carmine, Ephraim, Taarabt. Subs: Stewart, Vine, Cook, Balanta, Alberti.
As the two chairman, Simon Jordan and Flavio Briatorre, shake hands below me the two sides come out with Palace in the yellow tops of their away kit and the white shorts and socks of their home kit so as not to clash with Rangers' blue shorts.
1 min: Palace get play under way in the sunshine.
3 min: Routledge's first touch gets roundly booed by the Palace fans and he promptly puts his pass straight out of play. Seconds later Derry has the first shot of the day and his half volley from fully 30 yards goes only narrowly wide. Good try.
9 min: Ramage goes past Hill down the right and puts in a good cross to the near post but no one attacks it and Speroni claims. All been a bit scrappy so far.
12 min: The Palace fans come out with a wonderful rendition of 'your support is f****** s***' directed at the home fans who have been quiet.
13 min: They've perked up now as Miller has the best chance of the day so far. Routledge played him through with a delightful ball but his near post shot is saved by Speroni, should have gone across the keeper really. QPR on top now.
17 min: Davis is a lucky boy as he elbows Di Carmine right in front of the linesman but gets away with it as the ref gives a foul but nothing more. From here it looked pretty blatant.
22 min: Carle wins a free kick in a good position but Moses wastes it as his delivery goes behind the onrushing Eagles players.
25 min: Taarabt weaves his way through the Palace midfield on the edge of the box but shoots straight at Speroni. Good chance.
29 min: YELLOW CARD. Hill booked for body checking Routledge as he sped past him. He was always going to get booked at some point against Routledge but Warnock would have hoped it would be a little bit later.
30 min: Speroni pulls off a good reaction save as Clyne inadvertently diverts Di Carmine's cross goalward. All came from a poor mistake by Davis misplacing a simple pass to Derry in the centre circle. Palace are poor at the second.
31 min: Speroni saves twice at point blank range from Di Carmine but the forward is given offside anyway.
36 min: Hill really struggling after getting an ankle knock and looks like he might be coming off. You can't have someone playing against Routledge on one leg.
39 min: SUB. Hill trudges off and on comes Jose Fonte. Clyne goes to left back to counter Routledge and Lawrence moves to right back, putting Jose alongside Davis.
42 min: Ephraim in miles of space on the left runs into the box but Lawrence gets back just in time to make a block. He was caught horribly out of position then though.
45 min: Two minutes added on.
45 min: YELLEW CARD. As Davis goes to kick the ball Di Carmine bends down to head it and the Jamaican catches him in the face causung an almighty rucus that sees Sousa come on to the pitch to remonstrate with Davis. Davis is booked and after a long coverstaion between the ref, linesman, Sousa, Gareth Ainsworth and Warnock, Sousa is sent to the stands.
HALF TIME: That bit of action at the end there was the best we have seen all day, with both sides showing why they are languishing in mid table.
46 min: SUB. Miller off, Cook on. as QPR get us back under way.
47 min: There's the Victor we know and love as he twists on the edge of the box and curls one towards the top corner that Cerny has to tip over. Carle's corner then flashes across the box and no one ges a touch.
48 min: Danns win a free kick 20 yards out that Stokes takes for Fonte at the back post but he can only head over at a stretch. Good start from Palace.
49 min: As I say that QPR get two chances in quick succession. First Di Carmine is put through by Taarabt but takes too long too shoot and Davis blocks, then Routledge connects with a cross at the back post but his volley goes just wide.
50 min: Attendance 15,234
55 min: A much better game now but that wasn't hard. QPR just about edging it.
58 min: QPR should be ahead as Di Carmine's flick puts Taarabt through but he spoons his shot over from seven yards. Bad miss.
60 min: YELLOW CARD. Lawrence booked for a kick from behind to Cook's achilles. Might have been a little harsh.
65 min: Stokes, who has been bery quiet today shoots from outside the box but it bobbled through to Cerny. The game has gone back to the same level of quality we saw in the first, with plenty of mnisplaced balls.
68 min: Half a chance for Stokes as Lawrence's cross ricochets into his path but he can't get a good contact on the shot.
73 min: SUB: Taarabt goes of and on comes Rowan Vine, out for a year and one day after breaking his leg. He gets a massive round of applause.
75 min: There's a lot more noise from the QPR crowd as they've begun pressing but with no real penetration. This game has 0-0 written all over it.
77 min: Half a chance for Moses as QPR fail to deal with a corner but the younsgters shoots wide.
79 min: SUB. Stokes replaced by Ifill. A minute ago he had a good chance Stokes but didn't make the best of it in another scramble in the QPR box.
80 min: Instant impact from Ifill as he finds space 20 yards out but he drags his shot wide. Then a minute later Di Carmine is given offside in a great position.
82 min: YELLOW CARD. Moses booked for pulling back Delaney as goes away from him.
82 min: SUB: Kuqi off, Scowcroft on.
85 min: SUB: Di Carmine off, Balanta on.
88 min: Fonte survives a penalty shout as Vine tries to go round him witht the forward appealing for handball.
90 min: Three minutes added on.
92 min: That sums the game up as Vine crosses high into the stands from a good position.
FULL TIME: Well that wasn't much fun really. The game lacked any sort of quality but QPR edged it on chances as yet again the Eagles failed to make Cerny make any sort of reasonable save. Next up is Clinton Morrison's return to Selhurst Park with Coventry on Tuesday night. See you then.

Verlander, gelling Tigers cap sweep of A's with rout
Boosted by six-run sixth, right-hander earns first win since May 30
DETROIT -- The defining moment of the Tigers' opening half of the 2014 season might not have come until its final series.
Rajai Davis, the catalyst, didn't mince words when asked to describe Detroit's outlook Monday facing a three-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning of its series opener against the team with the best record in baseball.
"Your game is over," Davis said Wednesday, after the Tigers completed a sweep of Oakland with a 9-3 win spurred by a six-run sixth inning. "For most teams, that game is over. Especially at this level. Especially against a closer that's pitched exceptionally well."
By now, you know how that story ended. With one swing of the bat against A's closer Sean Doolittle, Davis cleared the left-field fence and the bases.
"Until Rajai's grand slam, we were a little flat offensively," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "From the grand slam on, I thought we had good at-bats."
After the game Wednesday, Davis said he "absolutely" sensed that the series turned on a dime with the improbable comeback Monday night.
The emotional roller coaster that the Tigers took themselves and the fans on Monday night was a microcosm of the entire first half, which Detroit completed Wednesday with a 47-34 record. The Tigers sit 4 1/2 games above the Royals for first place in the American League Central, a position they briefly relinquished for a few days last month but have otherwise kept a stranglehold on.
Game No. 81 was a statement game like none before it. While players have been loath to call it a rivalry, Detroit and Oakland have met in the postseason each of the past two years. If the Tigers are going to capture their second pennant in three years, the A's have seemed like the biggest roadblock since April.
And in another microcosm of the first half, Detroit won even though Justin Verlander wasn't at his best. Verlander allowed two first-inning home runs, though he eventually settled in and lasted six solid innings to earn his first win since May 30.
The Tigers also managed to sweep the A's without Victor Martinez, who has been resting a sore side since Monday.
The damage instead came from the outfield, including usual right fielder Torii Hunter -- who was slotted as designated hitter for the first time in his Detroit career. Hunter combined with Monday's hero Davis, Austin Jackson and J.D. Martinez to go 9-for-17 with six RBIs.
Jackson was in the leadoff spot for the third time in the past four games. That's where he has batted for the vast majority of his big league career, but Ausmus had previously used him there only once since taking over last offseason.
The switch to leading off comes as an attempt to re-harness Jackson as a productive bat in the Tigers order.
"He looked good. He looked really good," Ausmus said of Jackson. "Even in his last at-bat, he hit that ball hard at the first baseman. He'll be back there again tomorrow.
"Whoever's leading off -- and it will be Jackson again tomorrow with J.D. in the lineup and Torii in the lineup, you stretch the lineup out quite a bit."
Suddenly, with the offense picking up Verlander on a day when he was good, not great, the 9-20 stretch that temporarily dethroned the Tigers felt ages away.
Ian Kinsler, the veteran prize added to the Detroit roster this offseason, feels that weathering that storm has paid off.
"We've handled it really well," Kinsler said of a first half that was up, then down, then up again. "I think it was good for our team to go through some of those tough patches. It taught us a lot about what type of team we are, that we can come out of that sort of thing and be one of the better teams in baseball.
"It's healthy. When you can use it as a positive and continue to win games, hopefully it makes your team stronger."
Ausmus waxed poetic about the quality of characters in the Detroit clubhouse when asked what he enjoyed most about his first half-season as a big league manager.
As for what Ausmus has liked the least from his first-place team?
"There's nothing I dislike about the team."

Jon Niese had a quality start, but the Mets couldn't muster much offense against Bronson Arroyo, who has pitched well against the Mets his entire career.
Niese went 7 2/3 innings and struck out eight, tied for his season high. He allowed three runs on two solo home runs by All Star Brandon Phillips and Chris Heisey. The other run came again on a double by Phillips.
Niese's opponent was even better. Arroyo pitched eight full innings and allowed only one run, a homer to Angel Pagan in the first inning.
With the loss, the Mets fall three games behind the Braves, who beat the Phillies, 7-5.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/2/2013 (1651 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There are always two sides to every story, and the discontent that has recently been directed at the management of Tribal Councils Investment Group is no different.
That discontent recently culminated in applications to the Court of Queen's Bench from three of TCIG's seven shareholders seeking relief from what they generally refer to as shareholder oppression.
TCIG is an investment company owned by the seven Manitoba tribal councils. It was formed in the early 1990s and had an excellent track record of growth, producing generous dividends for its shareholders for many years.
At the last minute before a scheduled court hearing before Mr. Justice Robert Dewar on Wednesday morning, TCIG filed a sworn affidavit from its CEO, Allan McLeod, detailing the investment firm's corporate governance practices and addressing some concerns the shareholders express in their court filings.
He's giving TCIG's side of the story. On the surface, it paints a picture of thorough oversight on the part of its board in accordance with best practices.
"TCIG's corporate structure and business management guidelines are designed in accordance with its ISO 9001 corporate governance certification," McLeod says in the affidavit.
In addition to a through detailing of its own corporate-governance practices, another significant part of the 25-page affidavit -- not including the 50-odd exhibits -- is spent pointing out the flaws in governance practices of the three complainants.
Arguments before Dewar will be presented in a couple of weeks.
Irrespective of the degree to which TCIG's shareholders value such corporate-governance niceties, those shareholders were mad enough at management to have taken the time and expense to seek relief from the court.
While TCIG may follow the letter of the corporate-governance law, maybe some of the spirit is absent.
The general tone of the three separate notices of applications from entities representing the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council, Keewatin Tribal Council and West Region Tribal Council is that as shareholders, they believe they do not have access to enough information about how the company is operating.
TCIG has always maintained it provides a level of transparency that accords with its articles of incorporation and various shareholder agreements and amendments.
Not to say this is what TCIG is doing, but it wouldn't be the first time an entity hid behind its corporate-governance structure to skirt occasional unpleasant accountabilities.
For instance, in his affidavit, McLeod refers to this writer and a couple of Free Press articles I've written recently about TCIG. Among other things, those articles disclosed McLeod's pay packet and the length of his employment contract, as well as instances of money-losing ventures, including a corporate jet TCIG acquired a couple of years ago.
Those details were disclosed to me via leaked corporate documents.
McLeod said in the affidavit, "(the) confidential information referred to in the articles is commercially sensitive, the disclosure of which, I believe, is likely to prejudice TCIG's competitive position to the detriment of the company and its shareholders."
But he does not dispute the facts.
In the affidavit, McLeod also refers to an interview I conducted with him and says, "During our conversation, I was advised by Mr. Cash, and I believe, that the 'confidential internal documents' and certain other confidential information referred to in the articles were provided to him by Chief David Meeches."
Meeches is chief of the Long Plain First Nation and chairman of the board of Dakota Ojibway Investments Ltd. (DOI).
I did interview Meeches and he was quoted in those stories, but he did not provide any confidential documents or documents of any kind, nor did he disclose anything I had not already learned from other sources.
However, McLeod says in the affidavit that "TCIG's board of directors concluded that DOI, through Chief Meeches' actions, breached its confidentiality obligations. The board therefore passed a resolution directing TCIG to exercise its option under the U.S.A. (unanimous shareholder agreement)... to purchase the DOI's shares in TCIG, in accordance with the terms of those agreements."
I have no knowledge of what constitutes a breach of confidentiality in TCIG's shareholder agreements, but in this case, it seemed to have been triggered by some faulty information.
It's one thing to have shareholder agreements to direct the board to act in a certain way under certain circumstances; it is another thing for them to be accurately utilized.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Two men convicted of murders that occurred in Orange County were mistakenly released from a Florida prison because of forged documents, according to officials, who believe the men may be in the Orlando area.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office says Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker were released separately from a prison in the Panhandle in late September and early October. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement learned about the mistake Tuesday.
Jenkins and Walker lived in Central Florida and their convictions derived from crimes committed in Orange County and the city of Orlando.
Deputies said Joseph Jenkins, serving a life sentence for a 1998 first-degree murder conviction, escaped Sept. 27. Walker, convicted on murder charges and also issued a life sentence, escaped Oct. 8.
"These two individuals are out. They shouldn't be, and we want to get them back in custody," said Orange County sheriff's Captain Angelo Nieves. "This shouldn't have happened, but it did, and our concern is to get these individuals into custody."
The Florida Department of Corrections said it would not speculate whether they thought Walker and Jenkins were working together or could now be together.
OCSO said it is using all resources to apprehend the two and bring them into custody. The Orlando Police Department is also assisting.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has launched an investigation into the circumstances of the release. Florida Department of Corrections Secretary Michael Crews has pledged his support for state and local law enforcement efforts in locating the suspects.
In a statement released by the Florida Department of Corrections, it stated:
"Inmates Walker and Joseph (Jenkins) were both released in accordance with Department of Corrections policy and procedure; however their releases were based on fraudulent modifications that had been made to the court orders that determines their length of sentence."

At the farmers' market, I usually beeline for the fresh produce — this summer, juicy peaches and heirloom tomatoes in all colors of the rainbow have captured my attention. But after a recent dinner, I am now seeking out the seafood vendors first. Not all neighborhood farmers' markets sell fish, but if you're lucky enough to frequent one that does, you can seafood-shop like a chef — just make sure to get there early like they do.
At New York's A Voce Madison, Chef Missy Robbins is creating tasting menus that highlight the fresh, local and sometimes wacky seafood she discovers on her morning trips to the Union Square Greenmarket, just a short walk from her restaurant.
On the night I dined, the "Mare" menu included three fish I'd never heard of, let alone tasted. Some of them were new to Chef Missy and her kitchen team as well, but she explained that experimentation is the best part of creating these special menus. They often try out several techniques on a new fish before deciding on the best way to prepare it.
Tunny (pronounced TON-ee), which Missy described as a cross between mackerel and tuna, was prepared in the Italian "conserva" style — poached, then confited in olive oil — and served with eggplant, raisins and mint. Triggerfish, a mild, meaty white fish, was a hit at our table — and Missy told us it is becoming one of her own favorite fish. She cooked it lightly in olive oil and finished the plate with sweet end-of-summer tomatoes, basil, sesame and shaved bottarga.
The species I was most intrigued by, though, was the curiously named sea robin. "Fish or bird?" Missy (@missyarobbins) Tweeted to her followers with a picture of the crazy-looking winged sea creature that morning. On the plate, it was deep-fried in a batter spiked with squid ink. The fish has a delicate flavor with a texture that reminded Missy of frogs' legs — a spot-on comparison.
When I stopped by the Blue Moon Fish stand at the Greenmarket on a recent afternoon, they were all out of sea robin — apparently another chef bought it all up. But as long as you arrive there early, you'll find a variety of fish and seafood, exotic and less so, all caught locally off Long Island's North Fork. Smoked shark, anyone?
If you're tired of the same old salmon and sea bass, pick up a new fish next time you hit the market. Fishmongers are usually happy to share their wisdom on taste, texture and cooking methods.
"Mare" menus at A Voce Madison will continue through September. Call the restaurant 72 hours ahead to reserve.
Have you ever tried tunny, triggerfish or sea robin? What's the most unusual fish you've ever seen or sampled?

Well, the Interop New York show is done, and I'm seeing e-mails flying around on the engineer listserv about how and where gear used during the show should be shipped to their owners. Surprise, all that gear you've been seeing at the Interop shows is contributed by sponsors in return for marketing at the show. So it's now that time of year where equipment vendors can toss in their $0.02 worth and submit a proposal as to how their solution will rock the world and make the InteropNET the best ever.
The first part of the process is the "Request for Proposal" where potential sponsors submit plans on what kind of gear they think will work, what kind of engineering personnel would be provided, what kinds of marketing they'd like to do as part of the InteropNET, and most importantly, what kinds of new technology they would provide and show off at the show.
Next is the evaluation process, and I'm not even going to guess as to just how that process works. However, I do know that the best and baddest tech isn't always the one that wins. Remember that this is a collaborative effort and the InteropNET really is supposed to showcase advances in networking technology. It does also have to work, and to that end, the best and the baddest might not be an appropriate fit in the puzzle of tech that is the InteropNET. The job of evaluating the proposal sits on the shoulders of the InteropNET lead engineer (right now it's Geoff Horne) in cooperation with the show management and marketing. (Remember, this is a for-profit show, and it's all about marketing all those sparkly bits of tech.)
Once show management has determined which proposals will best fit the theme and the needs of the upcoming show season, the winners are notified and everyone is invited to converge for an engineering meeting someplace in Northern California. This is also the first time the volunteer engineering staff officially meets up with the vendor engineers, and this is where controlled chaos reigns as everyone pushes to get their tech bits highlighted as best as possible.
Did I mention volunteers? You bet, the bulk of the tech staff that put together the InteropNET are volunteers; in fact, most of them have to pay their own way to the show. However, it's this group of superb networking engineers that year in and year out pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat. So while there are always veterans in the team, the volunteer list is searched by the lead engineer and the InteropNET program management for potential new recruits. Again, it's not always the person with the most experience; many times, it's the appropriateness of the experience, how well they seem to be able to work with others (recommendations by previous team members), and willingness to work hard. Yeah, we all put in some really long hours to build the world's largest temporary network, and we sure don't do it for the pay. I started volunteering in 1995 and have been coming back to work with the very best in the industry and, most importantly, to learn. So part of the RFP should also include what kinds of education the vendor is willing to provide for the volunteer workforce. Keeping in mind that this group is very much an extended family, with "past noc" members attending each other's weddings, graduations, promotions, and holidays.
Well, imagine it's March, and vendor engineers and team leads (think technical management for the show; each lead responsible is for a different facet of the InteropNET) converge on a warehouse in Fremont, Calif. The bits and pieces from various vendors have been arriving now for a couple of weeks and have been inventoried by the warehouse staff. For the Las Vegas show, the team has roughly two weeks to go from bare floor to a completed network ready to pack into trucks. This is HotStage, and this is where the design is fine-tuned, the gotchas worked out, and the sparkly bits configured. Testing is done all the way up to a plugs-out test where the team makes sure everything transfers to UPS correctly and that a graceful shutdown is possible.
It's now a week before the show and the team has arrived at the venue. The electricians have been here a few days to start hanging the network and electrical drops over the bare floor with booths only indicated by tape on the floor and chalk marks with booth numbers on them. This is where the team gets together with the trucks full of gear and starts lighting up the net. With gear in co-location facilities at the two ends of the continent, load balancers, proxies, and caches have already been deployed, and the class "A" network is unparked and moved to the show venue. Normally we're one day in and the externals are running, the troubleshooting team has confirmed that the network drops meet the CAT5e or CAT6 standards and the backbone is running along with its backup path. To date, we've only had to dodge forklifts for the really huge booths, but now the smaller booths have started to arrive, the "freight free aisles" are now packed with crates, walking across the exhibit floor takes 10 minutes instead of 2, and the team is now starting to pick splinters out of their clothing from all the crates.
It's now Monday and the network is fully lit up, and we've been serving the already completed booths, and wireless has already been confirmed all the way into the meeting rooms since we're already support tutorials. The VoIP telephone system has been providing auto-attendant information on our main show number, along with telephony and conferencing capability to the show management. Monday is when we're all up late since that's when the carpets are put down and team members need to be around to make sure our equipment racks (PEDS) aren't accidentally disconnected by the carpet gang.
It's Wednesday and the show has been running with the exhibit floors packed with attendees. The team leads have been collecting tchotchkes as gifts for the volunteers, and tonight is when the volunteers get to party after a long week of setup. Some of the sponsor vendors have included products to give to the volunteers as part of their proposals, since it's the volunteers that have made a huge contribution in time and energy to make the InteropNET a success.
It's now Thursday and with the show floor closing at 3 p.m., the team only has an hour to pull out all the network drops and get the equipment racks off the floor before the forklifts attack. Normally it's 6 p.m. and the racks are wrapped and packed in the trucks before the team settles in for our last dinner. The NOC and a portion of the network still has to run until Friday to support the last of the classes, but by then, it's the team leads that are left to do the final packing before we all bid our old and new friends good-bye until the next show.
The result is a unique environment where network equipment vendors can show off their products AND get a huge amount of interoperability testing done in a VERY short amount of time. I won't even attempt to count how many integration documents have come out of Interop, but I can assure you that a great number of the RFCs from the IETF have had their origins with the InteropNET team. Friends are made, partnerships formed, and we've even had a few weddings along the line. If you'd like to become an InteropNET partner, here's where you can go to get additional information on the InteropNET RFC process:
InteropNET 2009 RFP AlertInterop is now accepting InteropNET proposals for
Las Vegas & New York Event Network Participation.
The InteropNet is a leading example of how to design, deploy and manage a multivendor, converged network. It is a platform for the introduction of new technologies and, utilizing "best practice" methodologies, provides a viable demonstration and reference model of networks that meet current and future business needs.

Today Lithuania celebrates the 24th anniversary of its declaration of independence on March 11 1990 – the first former Soviet republic to take such a step – after decades of Soviet rule. Yet this declared independence did not become reality until September 1991. First a violent Soviet crackdown killed 14 people in January 1991 and a propaganda war hit the airwaves with distinct echoes of Moscow's current efforts to justify its seizure of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

chidori stream
in naruto shippuden episode 113 when sasuke is training he says chidori stream is that a new jutsu or it is chidori current
I think it was either his way of putting it or something up with the translation, put then again I'm not sure which episode it is, cause he may have been talking about a completely diffrent jutsu since he has a bunch of them that are related to Chidori, --LoveGunnerKuniochi (talk) 19:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Chidori Stream and Chidori Current is different. If you've notice, i think it was the shippuden episode 51 when Naruto and Sasuke first meet after their fight at the valey of end, Sasuke's Chidori Current goes around his body covering the behind of him. In episode 113 his Chidori Stream goes in a straight line ... sort of :p--J.Asante (talk) 18:27, November 4, 2009 (UTC)J.Asante
- It's just a different translation of the same jutsu. The Japanese is the same. ~SnapperTo 00:01, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
Put unnamed space/time ninjutsu in his jutsu list
When he escaped Deidara's self-destruction, Sasuke, according to Suigetsu (chapter 363, page 14), "You went inside Manda and used a jutsu to fly into a different space...". Also on the same page Karin said that Sasuke was flying. On the same page Sasuke says: "right before I flew". On chapter 364 page 14, Yamato says that "He could have also used a space/time ninjutsu to teleport himself somewhere safe." - MadaraU (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- He was just hiding in Manda's mouth and when he tryed to escape the blast, Sasuke followed to wherever the snake came from, then Suigetsu summond Manda again and Sasuke survived. Jacce | Talk 18:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- That was my original impression as well (that Sasu went with Manda in the Snake Village or smth:P and then when Manda was re-summoned Sasuke came back along with it). But why would Suigetsu say the thing with Sasuke doing a jutsu to fly into a different space? (it could be that what he said was a simple form of saying that he Summoned Manda etc etc) I wish I could read kanji to read the raws and see what did Suigetsu actually say. - MadaraU (talk) 18:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- You should ask ShounenSuki. Jacce | Talk 18:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

In the volume I have right now Sasuke say's he "Jumped" so I think he just summoned Manda, got inside, avoided the blast, and either A: Had Manda jump out of the way and teh Suigetsu summoned him from the spot he landed, or B: Used the Sharingan to also have Manda teleport himself back to where all the summoned animals come from, and then Suigetsu summoned him back from there,
Then shoodnt u put on Suigetsu's abilites list that he can perform the Summoning Jutsu--Moiz1224 (talk) 02:07, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
From the volume I have; Volume 40 (translated by Viz Media) Karin says; "I thought you might be here... (In another subsequent panel) Your chakra suddenly disappeared! I didn't know what to think!.. I guess you were teleporting, HUH?" then Suigetsu as you all want says; "Wait... If you used teleportation ninjutsu to escape into another dimension inside Manda.. (In another image panel and text panel showing how beat up Sasuke is) Why are you so beat up".--Artist of Flash (talk) 12:39, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
I know most of you look at the Kanji's/ katakana in the raws or One manga translations but if we're talking English Viz Media is the real translation group since the organization that owns THE WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP also ones Viz... So this is reliable if you ask me.. And from the way it seems Sasuke did use space time Jutsu but by utilizing Manda's summoning properties... So it's not his own Jutsu. Also I'm sure if I read the raws it would make just as much sense/ have the same meaning as it does in the Viz Manga...--Artist of Flash (talk) 12:39, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sasuke's Tsukuyomi???
We all know that the MS technique Amaterasu comes from the users right or left eye and Tsukuyomi from the opposite eye of Amaterasu. Sasuke's Amaterasu comes from his left eye which means his Tsukuyomi would be from the right eye. Well in chapter 413 page 8 you can see Sasuke's right eye activating the MS and using a genjutsu on Kirabi which i believe was Tsukuyomi. These are the following points i made to proof that the genjutsu Sasuke used was Tsukuyomi.
1.Sasuke used his right MS eye the opposite eye of Amaterasu to activate the genjutsu, just like Itachi who used his left eye the opposite eye of his Amaterasu to activate Tsukuyomi.
2.Kirabi within the illusion was in a grayscale inverted color, the same feature as the Tsukuyomi Itachi used on Kakashi.
3.After Sasuke used that genjutsu he was tired and covered his eye, the genjutsu he used put a strain on his right eye. The same side effect as Tsukuyomi. HUNTER* (talk) 15:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Until it is referred to as Tsukuyomi, it will remain an unnamed genjutsu. ~SnapperTo 15:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- We don't know if Sasuke used Tsukiyomi or not. What we do know is that he CAN use Tsukiyomi. He wouldn't be able to use Susano'o otherwise. Thus it most likely was Tsukiyomi, as he used his Mangyekou, and not his Normal Sharingan. Demonic Phoenix
Sasuke's Edit
When I'm trying to edit Sasuke's page I can't find his abilities why ?
I think Sasuke's main description below his name and should be changed back to Anti-Hero, since that's basically what he is. ItachiZero (talk) 02:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)ItachiZero
18.104.22.168 (talk) 03:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Anyone else notice the wierd Kyuubi-like shadow behind Sasuke in chapt 460?22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Sasuke's a little too complex to be classified as merely an antihero. Sort of the whole debate over who was the protagonist and antagonist of Death Note and whether Light or L was an Anti-hero or an Anti-Villain. --Ascendant of Dusk (talk) 02:55, September 25, 2009 (UTC)Ascendant of Dusk
You never know, Sasuke could become the next Hokage!! Seriously, there is a possibility. There is this injustice done to Uchiha clan thing, and Naruto might "convert" him like he did to Pain, and especially to Gaara. Gaara was probably an even bigger villian during Part I, but became the Kazekage. But yeah, as the story is at present (as of Manga Chapter 465), anti-hero is probably the least inaccurate description for him. :-) Geijustu wa bakuhatsu da (talk) 15:59, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
I seriously don't think Sasuke will ever be Hokage. There is a warrant out for his death, he is schemeing to kill the village elders/advisors, and besides, Naruto "converting" him doesn't mean the Jonin COuncil or the Fire Daimyo will accept him. DemonFoxsCloak (talk) 17:46, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
In chapter 460, when Sasuke is killing the Iron ninja, there is a picture of him standing in this demon like monster's palm. Can anyone explain this?BLADERUFF (talk) 07:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- We'll have to wait till its revealed...--AlienGamer--Talk-- 07:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- The motif reminds me a lot of the tailed beasts but they are all accounted for :/ KnyghtMare (talk) 06:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- it reminds me of the demon that zabuza had or sine karin can sense dark chakra maybe thets how she seen his chakra and isnt this the first time he has killed anyone
- Thinking logically and taking into account the things said about Sasuke in chapter 360 and similar scenes throughout the manga (e.g. the one with Zabuza in chapter 32 and the one with the Sharingan demon in chapter 386), it is most likely that the black figure was a representation of the hatred and darkness within Sasuke.
- That said, this discussion is pointless. This matter isn't going to be resolved with the amount of information we have. Unless and until there is definite proof, people will always have varying opinions on it. This discussion is over. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 09:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

edit: hit the wrong edit button :p I think the "demon" is Madara's influince over Sasuke, but I don't think that Sasuke has forgot his promis to kill the man. --Cueil-sama (talk) 11:08, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
~ It's nothing, just a mere representation of Sasuke's dark Chakra. Unless Kishi reveals something about it, that's what it is. MJ (talk) 05:38, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
Antihero or Antagonist
I think that Sasuke should be considered an antihero since Madara is the main antagonist.--0Neosis (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Well he more of an anti-hero.I mean killing Danzo sounds just fine but trying to attack Konoha is stepping over the scope of an anti-hero188.8.131.52 (talk) 04:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
shouldn't he be considered a major antagonist now. wanting to kill the 5 kages, wanting to destroy konoha, and joining akatsuki is way beyond anti hero or protagonist. it's just that someone changed the description saying that him being a protagonist is debatable.
- A protagonist is a character whom the plot revolves around and with whom the audience is intended to empathise most;
- An antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonist. A character that creates obstacles which the protagonist must overcome;
- An anti-hero is a protagonist who is depicted as having clear, strong faults;
- A foil is a character who contrasts with the protagonist in order to highlight certain aspects of the protagonist's personality;
- A tragic hero is a character who makes a fatal flaw that leads to their downfall.
- A Byronic hero is an idealised, but flawed character. A character with ideal traits on the one hand, but self-destructive traits on the other;
- A villain is a character who exhibits clear evil behaviour; who has a negative impact on other characters.
- Sasuke is all of the above in one way or another. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 17:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with your opinon that Sasuke is all of these types of characters and an antihero isn't someone who doesn't have just doesn't have flaws because all characters even people have flaws an antihero is someone who uses nonheroic methods to attain there goals that are noble. For Sasuke, in part one his goal is to kill Itachi and avenge his clan's death; to do so he needs to attain power and for that he abandons the Leaf Village to drain under the demonic Orochimaru. In part two after learning Itachi's motives he resolves to kill the dicator-like Danzo we also see that he also see that he's more than willing to lie and use people to attain his goals such as Orochimaru, Akatsuki, and Madara such as saying things like letting his body be takin over and destroying the Leaf, and the Kages to please those he's using.
This just to continue my opinon that he's an antihero.--0Neosis (talk) 00:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Sasuke is an antihero. How is he not all those other things? --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 01:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- It's just that most kinds of characters are one type of character, antiheroes are kind of diffucult to describe since they can be seen as a hero or villain but we all no that any character cannot be more than three types of literature characters, for Sasuke he can be seen as a deutagonist, antihero, and villain.--0Neosis (talk) 22:02, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Don't make me laugh! That may be the case in classical Western literature and the literature based on that, but that is in no way true about all literature. There is absolutely no limit to how many character types a character can be, especially when talking about one of the most important main characters in a modern Japanese story that already spans a decade. Sasuke can easily be categorised as any of the character types I mentioned above, and far more most likely. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:45, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

For all we know the series could be called "Naruto & Sasuke" He is a very complex character whom most people do not even understand and it is that reason which makes him any, if not all, of the character types mentioned by Shounen. - MadaraU (talk) 06:21, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
I personally feel that Sasuke has gone the way of Anakin/Vader. A major character of the story gone over to the villain side. Sadly it unknown if he can be redeemed. When Naruto finally find him again, however, I expect a huge battle for the village and Sasuke's soul! Ztyran (talk) 18:35, September 25, 2009 (UTC) What the hell are you talking about? You said that an antihero is someone who achieves a goal that is noble through deeds that are bad. What the heck is noble about wanting to destroy an entire village? henryk211
Listen to all of Sasuke's words and not those he uses to please those he is using. Obviously Madara wants all of Konoha destroyed, but Sasuke has no intention of doing this. He shows this further by having no problems destroying those who stand in his way, but not going out of his way to destroy what he doesn't have to. When he saw his goal (Danzo) he directed his attention towards him and whould have left the rest of the Kage alone if he had not been intercepted.--Cueil-sama (talk) 11:17, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Sasuke's sharingan.
It says here: It first developed during Itachi's departure from Konoha after the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but Sasuke would later forget he had activated the Sharingan due to the him being traumatized by the incident. I just checked chapter 224 and there is no sharingan in Sasuke's eyes. Was it shown somewhere else?—This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .

Somewhere on this wiki (i think), it says that Sasuke activated his Sharingan after a brief fight with Itachi after Itachi told him to "run and cling to life" (my favorite line). It also says that Sasuke doesn't remember the fight.—This unsigned comment was made by J.Asante (talk • contribs) .

Sharingan Demon Genjutsu
I know that this has been discussed before, but in the latest chapter, Sasuke used a genjutsu in which the Demon would appear before the victim, grabbing it with it's hand and begin to absorb the target. I know that we don't have any information about this thing, but I really think we should mention this in his Sharingan section. Art-is-a-blast (talk) 08:25, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

You get Blaze Release. DemonFoxsCloak (talk) 17:51, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
- Not really. We aren't sure what natures are needed for Blaze Release. The only thing confirmed is that they involve the black flames of Amaterasu.
Well, if lightning and fire are sasuke's only natures, and then he gets a secondary one, it only makes sense that they combine for blaze, unless it involves specifically sharingan, in which case its not a release, its a jutsu. DemonFoxsCloak (talk) 03:51, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
^ Enton/Blaze Release acts upon Amaterasu, and is not a Fire+Lightning Hybrid. ~ Kakashi knows jutsus from each of the elements, yet he cannot use any of the secondary releases.

- The bones around Sasuke are identical to the bones of Susanoo. Barring the possibility of an entirely new technique that not only looks extremely similar to Susanoo, but has the same function as well, it is obvious Sasuke just used an incomplete version of Susanoo itself. Him being able to do that also means he has mastered Tsukuyomi, which seems equally obvious given how the genjutsu he used on Killer Bee looked. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:46, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

You mean the one in Chapter 413 pg 9 rite? There's only a single panel of it, and that doesn't really show much..Of course we can Presume he knows it, cause he knows Amatarasu and Susanoo...But that wud be guessing....Btw that might be Sasuke's completed Susanoo. According to Zetsu orochi was looking for the Sakenagi Longsword, but could nev find it, and Itachi had it...which means that it doesn't come default with Susanoo...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 13:07, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I wasn't talking about the Totsuka Sword and Yata Mirror (I didn't expect Sasuke to have those), I was talking about the complete Susanoo apparently being not a skeleton, but a fully formed body.
- About Tsukuyomi: yeah, that page being Tsukuyomi is speculation, I'll admit. It could be a genjutsu that simply resembles Tsukuyomi. However, there's is more proof that Sasuke knows Tsukuyomi: the third databook states that only those who are able to use both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi can use Susanoo. Sasuke using Susanoo per definition means he can also use Tsukuyomi. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 14:24, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Well, looking back at the Sasuke-Itachi fight, Susano'o shifted from complete to skeletal at least once, maybe Itachi hadn't perfected the Technique either. And Sasuke's using Amaterasu with his left eye could be that his eyes mirror Itachi's in which eye holds which jutsu and reinforcing Sasuke's statement about his vision being different from Itachi's...--Ascendant of Dusk
- I think it was really a situational thing. Itachi summoned it in it's entirety not only to use the skeleton and some skin to save him from Kirin, but also to defend against 8 Branches and seal Orochimaru. Sasuke barely used the ribs to cushion the blow from Raikage's attack. Looks to me like he's avoiding using up his chakra.Wreiad (talk) 02:48, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Okay...I have a problem with the fact that in Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan stub, it says that he can control the direction of Amaterasu, and put them out at will WHEN ITACHI COULDN'T! That's incorrect. If you review chapter 390, Itachi put the flames out twice; All you have to do is close your eye. And also, he changed the direction of Amaterasu & even created a 3rd while trying to "burn" Sasuke; you just have to keep your eye on your target. The only thing Sasuke did that Itachi didn't show the ability to do was change the flames forms, with Blaze release. But that's it. I'm respectfully requesting that that part of the paragraph be changed because it may lead people to believe that Itachi, a Master of Mangekyou, has been outdone by some emo punk kid, who had the eyes for like 2 months...ItachiZero (talk) 14:44, September 25, 2009 (UTC)ItachiZero

- Well, at the end of the page for every character, it says Ninja Rank, so shall we say that this S-Class is separate from Ninja Rank, or maybe, S-Class is itself a Ninja Rank? Besides that, this Ninja Rank thing was kind of interesting when the show started, but it does not seem too relevant now, as there is no obvious correlation between a Ninja Rank and the Ninja's abilities.

It's pretty obvious Naruto's way beyond Kage level; he beat the Akatsuki's leader. Sasuke's probably at kage level though.
no sasuke cant still be regarded as a common criminal as tsuchikage stated after his killing of samurai and attacking summit that i have no grudge against u the only charges against him r of capturing killer bee{which is proved wrong} and joining akatsuki{which will be finished if he leaves it}.also kazekage,mizukage,and raikage not to mention after hearing that his bro is alive have no grudges against him.also he has killed 3 S-Rank criminals like itachi,deidara and orochimaru which r enough to forgive him126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:19, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
Rank refers to Gennin, Chuunin, etc. Not C, B, A etc. Henryk211 October 29 2009
The greatest criminals are indeed called "S-Rank Criminals" in the Narutoverse. However, I think it the "Rank" in the term is just a misnomer, because we haven't heard anything like, A-rank or B-rank criminals.

no, but that's not really important. That means that Sasuke's eyes were just still in development, as that was the first time in his memory that he activated the Sharingan, really his second time using the eyes, but he didn't remember that part of the Itachi Incident at the time. --Ascendant of Dusk (talk) 02:50, September 25, 2009 (UTC)Ascendant of Dusk
Sasuke's Attires
Among all the characters in the series, I think Sasuke's attire has changed the most. This does not count any "special" changes in attire (such as the black dress he wore at the Third Hokage's funeral). Maybe this could be added to the trivia list as well. I am just curious to list down all those. Let me see how many I can recollect. Please check if I missed something.
- Child Sasuke's attire from the flashbacks
- "Regular" Part 1 attire (Blue shirt, White shorts)
- the chunin exams oufit (black shirt, white shorts and bandages over his left arm)
- The dress given to him by Orochimaru at the very end of the Part 1.
- The typical Japanese clothing during Part 2 until he killed Orochimaru.
- The outfit he took on at the Ninja cat's place.
- The Akatsuki Uniform
- The outfit he wore during the Five Kage's Meet arc.

Samurai Saber Technique
Shouldn't this be listed as one of his Jutsus?
A Samurai in Chapter 460, Page 14 said "...His swordplay resembles our own..." by dJ Arms, "...That looked like our technique..." by Sleepyfans, "That's just like our sword techniques..." by Blinktopia.
All of the translations seem to apply that Sasuke used the same technique. Sasuke must have copied it with his Sharingan, who he had on during that particular moment and a panel was focused on his Sharingan with lines centered around it and pointing at it just a moment before he used this technique.—This unsigned comment was made by TekkenStorm (talk • contribs) .

Lightning Speed
In the elemental techniques section, it says that Sasuke creates lightning that travels at 300,000km/s (300,000,000m/s). I don't know if it's 'special Naruto lightning' or s
omething, but normal lightning travels at 50,000 to 70,0000 m/s approx. The speed mentioned here is the speed of light, which is WAY faster than any real lightning.
- Just one comment: 300 000 km/s is actually FASTER than the speed of light, which is 299, 792.458 km/s, but I am sorry for that silly comment, because I assume that value was a "rounded off". You are right otherwise about the speed of lightning. I think we have to assume it is some "Sasuke special" lightning, because apparently Kishi is "incapable" of making mistakes, according to some senior members of this wiki. ;-) Geijustu wa bakuhatsu da (talk) 06:55, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

- I don't see what Kishimoto-sensei has to do with this. As far as I'm aware, he never gave a specific speed for the lightning Sasuke uses. Only that is travels at the speed of lightning.

Lightning travels at the speed of light. It just travels slowly in the atmosphere because of atmospheric friction.
HOW COULD YOU GUYS take out the most important part of the Kirin light does travel at that speed so how could you take that off:S kinda lame dont you think zetsu said a bolt of lighting is 1/1000th of a second this tells us the speed that Sasuke's Kirin was traveling at its preety obviouse man.
Sasuke Uchiha.
1. "Speed of light" not equal to "Speed of lightning". 2. zetsu said a bolt of lighting is 1/1000th of a second. <-- How do you calculate the SPEED from this?
Speed = Distance covered / Time taken. I hope you know that already. How does time alone tell you the speed? Show me where Zetsu said that Sasuke's lightning travelled 300 km in 1/1000 of a second, and then I will revert it. Till then, it stays removed.
Alternatively, if the author himself confirms the speed of Sasuke's lightning, we shall put that value there. Geijustu wa bakuhatsu da (talk) 15:37, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- 60,000 mile/sec or 180,000 mph... that is the speed of lighting. Of course this is pretty much it's top speed since conductivity can slow or even speed it up (super conductivity). I've been out of school for 13 years so I may be a bit rusty on this.--Cueil-sama (talk) 08:12, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- All right, let us bring some actual science into this.
- In reality, lightning travels at speeds of up to 60,000 m/s. However, Naruto is not reality.
- Zetsu said that a lightning bolt was a thousandth of a second (0.001 s). The clouds Sasuke created with his Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique were cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds have an altitude of 2,000 - 16,000 metres.
- With this information, we can calculate the speed of Kirin.
- The formula for speed (v) is distance (x) divided by time (t):
- x = 16,000 m
- t = 0.001 s
- So taking the highest altitude, we get a speed of 16,000,000 m/s
- In comparison, the speed of sound in dry air at 20°C is 343 m/s. The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s.
- So Kirin's speed is far, far higher than the speed of sound, but still nowhere near the speed of light. It is, however, a lot higher than the speed of lightning in the real world. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:55, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Concerning stats
In what i'v seen of translated versions of the data books 'seal knowledge' is what is stated not 'hand seals.' Concerning this shouldn't hand seals be switched to seal knowledge and yes I realize the stats have been added to most if not all other characters and I apologize for the inconvenience should I be correct but it might have been me who read the mistranslation so i'm just asking if you can recheck just to make sure.
Edit: What I mean by seal knowledge is the knowledge of seals not hand seals. (same poster as above)
- You didn't read a mistranslation per se. In Japanese, the word for seals (as in fūinjutsu) is 封印 (fūin). The word for hand seals is 印 (in). Both can be translated as simply seal.
- The seal stat is for 印. Hand seals, in other words. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 16:19, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. I just wished to make sure and maybe correct a mistake.
"While Itachi is a pacifist who was willing to sacrifice his wayward family and himself for a peaceful world and his brother's well being, Sasuke is a power-hungry avenger who is more than willing to destroy anything in his way. Itachi only fought in self-defense and tries to end the battle quickly, while Sasuke did it out of revenge and fights to the end. Sasuke refused to gain the same power that his brother has offered him, and instead chose to walk his own path for power. Also, despite what Konohagakure did to the Uchiha clan, Itachi still loved the village, while Sasuke always thought the village was a hindrance to him, and turned to despise it when Madara told him the truth."
I'd like to understand why somebody decided to describe Itachi in Sasukes personality section. Oh and not all of Sauskes fight are out of revenge like Deidara, Orochimaru, Raikage and the samurai.
I would change it myself except for the fact I'm new so i don't know how to and even if i did i would like the go-ahead from one of the senior members in case I'm wrong and the Itachi parts should stay up.
Snake summoning: Did Sasuke really make the contract?
Hi! Staff, forgive me if I wright something wrong in this message, i'm brazilian and i am not so good yet in my english. I was thinking about the possibility of Sasuke's ability of summoning snakes only happens because Orochimaru was inside of him, like all the other ability that Sasuke unlocked after absorbing Orochimaru. Realize that Sasuke's ability of summoning snakes only appears when Orochimaru was inside of him. Before it, he never had summoned a snake, and after Itachi withdraw Orochimaru from Sasuke, he never has do it again. And now that Sasuke had show his summon of a hawk, I maked a guess that the real blood's contract of Sasuke is with birds, like Itachi. If I'm not mistaking, a person can only do one contract of blood for summoning. So, Sasuke cannot contract with the snakes and birds while.That is what I guess. Bcb3 (talk) 02:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
It has never been stated that Sasuke did or did not have a contract with the snakes. It has been speculated and even written on his page that he could only summon snakes due to Orochimaru. It has also never been stated that you can't have more then one contract however as no one besides Pain has shown the use of multiple summonings it is usually speculated that you can only have one. Itachi never had a contract or at least hasn't been shown to have one, the crows are genjutsu. As for future use this is not a forum, Discussion is to write down your thoughts on something about this page and/or the belief that something should be changed. So please find a forum like leafninja or something of a similar sort and place your questions and theories their.

I thought this image would have been a much better choice due to it being much more recent and in tune with how Sasuke looks right now. I mean face it, Sasuke was like 12 in the avatar picture, but now he's 16, wouldn't it be better for more recent picture?
Here it is, at least someone consider it :)--FlamingDogs17 (talk) 23:59, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
I fully agree with you, but they apparently have a stupid rule here to give them the first appearance picture.
Which means Sasuke is stuck with his 12-aged one. --TekkenStorm (talk) 00:28, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
A response to whomever alters the character pages would have been nice too --FlamingDogs17 (talk) 02:26, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
- More people are familiar with his Part I appearance, so that's what is put in the infobox. Plus, updating the image whenever he has a slight wardrobe change would be irritating. ~SnapperTo 03:05, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
I was not pertaining to updating the picture because he got a new "wardrobe". I was pertaining the update because it was part II, and he looks a little different now. I suggested it after episode 142 simply because that episode had a lot of good pictures you could take from. And if the title page is called "Uchiha, Sasuke", with a picture that's obviously Sasuke with an older look, I don't see who could be confused...
Anyways, I don't think I should argue about this anymore. Just a suggestion. --FlamingDogs17 (talk) 02:42, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
I realized Something. Sasuke is the only Sharingan user that has a non-transplanted Sharingan. Madara took his brothers, Kakashi had Obito, And Danzo took Shisuis, is that enough for a trivia Sec, or unimportant enough--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 06:10, January 13, 2010 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan

Snake Summoning clarification
Someone mentioned the fact that Sasuke only ever used Snake Summoning techniques when Orochimaru was part of him, not before and not afterwards. If you check you'll find that every time he ever summoned a snake he made use of a summoning tattoo on his left arm that was identical to the one on Orochimaru's left arm. Since we never see this tattoo before he absorbs Orochimaru (or after Itachi removes Orochimaru from him) it's pretty clear that like Kabuto (who once summoned Manda using Orochimaru's blood and tattoo) Sasuke only knew the Summoning Technique; he never signed the Snake contract. Additionally Jiraiya, a master summoner, stated while fighting Pain that a shinobi can only have one Summoning contract. In light of the above facts I strongly request removing the Snake summoning technique(as well as all other Snake techniques) from Sasuke's list of jutsus and modifying the relevant section of the article. It is rather misleading, and if I'm not mistaken even the latest Databook does not list them in Sasuke's arsenal.—This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
- First: When exactly did Jiraiya say someone can only have one summon?
- Second: If he did, Pain clearly proved him wrong by summoning a ton of animals.
- Third: He used snakes, snakes get listed.
- Fourth: Databooks are not the Naruto Bible. Don't don't say a lot of things. Doesn't mean we don't list them.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:28, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
My mistake. Jiraiya said no such thing. But considering no Shinobi aside from Pain has ever been shown using more than one type of summon at a time(even when they had the means to sign other contracts) it can be safely assumed that without Rinnegan one cannot maintain more than one contract at a time.
In Sasuke's case you've ignored the point about his summoning tattoo. Also at this point it is very clear he can no longer summon snakes in any form(or he would used it against Bee and the Kages when the going got tough) and will not do so for the rest of the manga. Yes, these techniques can be listed, but you should also add a note updating their 'unusable' status like with the Flapping Chidori.—This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
- I thought that pain could summon anything he had a piercing in.—This unsigned comment was made by Endomarru (talk • contribs) .
- He still used it. That whole "unusable" status should have been done away with long ago (in fact, I think it has) every point in the series is relevant, not just the most recent chapters. Also there is no proof he doesn't have the summons anymore. Naruto has a contract and he doesn't have a symbol on his body, not a stretch to think Sasuke needed to have it tatooed to his body too. Also when things got tough for Naruto, in his fight against Sasuke, Deidara, Hidan, and Pain he didn't summon Gamabunta.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:45, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
mangekyo picture
isn't there a better picture for his mangekyo eyes because seriously this is awful --188.8.131.52 (talk) 09:12, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Well for now there's the one with the mangekyo in both eyes, but when it'sin the article u cant see the eye's very well..Then there's this, and finally i've got another one, but Sasuke's eye's are bleeding in that. I chose this, cause in terms of clarity, this was the best. If it isn't good enough i'll replace it...AlienGamer (userpage ⁝ talk) 11:25, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
thank U this is much better but if U found a better one than this replace it again thank U alien gamer --184.108.40.206 (talk) 07:01, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
International Criminal
How is that an occupation?? Shouldn't that be a classification? --TekkenStorm (talk) 23:40, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
He wields a chokuto not a katana. Modify it someone, cuz I don't know how. - MadaraU (talk) 06:02, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
Sasuke's Growth and Ability
In that section it should be edited and cleaned up and should include that Sasuke had to use the second Level of his Curse Mark against Orochimaru despite the later being in such a weakened state. During his battle against Itachi Sasuke who after absorbing Orochimaru and had his own power and abilities supplemented by Orochimaru's could hold his own against Itachi. However, Itachi was very ill and wasnt at 100% at most he was likely at 50%. Itachi also gave Naruto some of his power just before his battle with Sasuke further weakening him and despite planning to lose Itachi was in control of the entire battle between them. Also the fact that Sakura was in disbelieve about Sasuke's rapid and inhuman growth and after consulting with Tsunade who suggested that Sasuke was using Forbidden Jutsu or taking drugs that should DEFINITELY be noted. ~Mikethe88~

METEOROLOGISTS say people across East Lancashire have a better chance of glimpsing the Northern Lights tonight.
According to scientists, the light displays of the Aurora Borealis are of unusual intensity and are visible from much further south than normal.
Last night, the natural light display, which usually takes place in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, was visible as far south as the M4.
But scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last night's display was weaker than expected and tonight presented a better opportunity for stargazers.
