Hi Peeps
I've just put in a order for a brand new imac desktop which comes witha 27"monitor, now even tho this is a huge high quality, I know from work experience the benefit of having a second monitor. Can anybody reccommend a good quality 2nd monitor to compliment my imac screen? And also where are the best (bargin) places to shop online/offline for 2nd screens that are good quality but cheap?
I know I have a 23" Hangseng and I'm quite happy with it. Now, I'm not sure if it should complement your iMac... My monitor is TFT so it may look a bit weird if compared with iMac brilliant colors
Ideally when using two monitors they should be the same model - that way you will not have issues with different apearance of the same thing on each.
I also agree that ideally should be the same model. Moreover, you seem to have made a significant investment, so I wouldn't go for a cheap alternative which would most likely cause you problems with compatibility, etc.
I know it is late now, but you should have tried asking for a better price for a second monitor.
YA i too agree that both monitors should be same as this gives look uniform and with compatibilty point of point of view you will not face any problem.My suggestion would be to buy the same model and with same colour too.
I was thinking the same thing, two 27inch imac screens would look lush side by side, however when I thought about it, how come so many other web designers get by very happily with a third party 21 or 24 inch monitor at a fraction of the price of a apple thundeerbolt screen? which cost £900
I do! In my case, I wanted to have a different monitor precisely to see the differences and how colors where affeted by it. I have a TFT along with my bright, crystal clear monitor
And the second was way cheaper, of course :lol:
But does it looks good side by side???????
No, not really. But it does comply with its goal: I can check if I'm choosing the right colors as I can see if they look too different. A monitor with a crystal, shiny screen will show the colors brighter which is nicer... but then it may be a bit too boring on a TFT monitor. Better to be sure
Hanns-G monitors are good. So are Dell monitors, surprisingly (most of the display panels are made by Samsung). I've had Dell monitors last for 10 years and still work.
I agree with your point too.You want something which looks to create some change and also from using point of view.
I would recommend samsung. I have two of them and they are working fine without any issues.

In 1980, Ron Gregg and his climbing partner set out to ski 100 miles to the base of Alaska's Mount Denali with all their climbing equipment, summit Denali, and ski back. About halfway up the mountain, Ron's partner's gaiters filled with snow, forcing snow down into his boots. He was eventually airlifted from the mountain with severe frostbite. Ron, however, refused the ride back, opting instead to descend the mountain and ski back under his own power. Somewhere along that lonely trek, Ron decided to dedicate himself to improving outdoor equipment and devote the rest of his life to his passion for the outdoors. Outdoor Research was born.
Ron's first mission was to design a gaiter that could stand up to the punishment that he dished out on Denali. His X-Gaiter was snug, insulated, tough, and popular enough to launch an outdoor gear company. Outdoor Research was, and still is, based on the idea that a new piece of gear should solve a problem, and create a better outdoor experience through innovation. Early examples of this direction are the Water Bottle Parka, the first soft-side medical kits designed for outdoor adventure, and Modular Mitts—two-piece mittens with a liner and a removable Gore-Tex shell that made it easier to dry the mitten overnight. These and other innovative products, such as a Gore-Tex rain hat and the famed Brooks Ranger Overboots, earned OR a reputation for innovation and, by the end of the '80s, had solidified the Outdoor Research name as one of the most trusted in the outdoor industry.
Outdoor Research enjoyed a long period of growth through the end of the '90s. It stuck to its original goal of only designing products that offered something new, such as a line of bivvy shelters that revolutionized the category. Everything was going well until 2003, when Ron was killed in an avalanche. OR, and the entire outdoor industry, were rocked by the tragedy. After several months of assessment, it was decided to sell the company. Fortunately, the buyer was Dan Nordstrom, a passionate outdoor enthusiast who has managed to ably move OR forward in the same direction that Ron Gregg had established in the '80s—creating functional solutions for human-powered adventure.
Since then, every aspect and category of OR has been scrutinized and improved, with careful upgrades for the classic favorites and the introduction of new equipment and clothing. Today, in addition to gear like gaiters, bivvies, hats, gloves, storage systems and backpacks, it offers a full line of clothing. This encompasses not only technical outerwear and layers for just about every outdoor pursuit, but jackets, pants, and other clothing as well for when it's time to kick back and relax.
The future looks bright for Outdoor Research. Under the direction of its new ownership and with the feedback of hundreds of dedicated 'Lab Rat' outdoor enthusiasts, its products continue to evolve and its goal remains the same: to improve the outdoor experience through innovative design and real-life testing.

By Allah's leave, the antichrist's efforts to distance people from religious moral values will have no effect on devout believers. A Muslim who evaluates everything he confronts with Qur'anic moral values and who adopts the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas) as his guide is blessed by Allah with a powerful conscience and mind with which to distinguish good from evil. Since he thinks in the light of the verses of the Qur'an he can determine whether an event is beneficial or harmful in good time and take the necessary precautions. For that reason, when the antichrist appears true believers will, by Allah's leave, immediately recognize him and take the requisite precautionary measures.
Believers who have genuinely submitted to Allah, who live every moment of their lives for Allah's approval alone, who feel an awe-filled fear of Him and who fully abide by the moral precepts revealed by Allah in the Qur'an can immediately identify the antichrist and his lies.
Saying that "the individuals of the End Times will recognize the antichrist," Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has also described how the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will recognize and identify the antichrist. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will call people to the true path against the intellectual system and corruption of the antichrist but, as described in previous chapters of this book, the number of those who believe in Hazrat Mahdi (as) will still be very small. Since the great majority of people will fall under the influence of the antichrist they will be blind to the true facts, despite being warned against the antichrist's fitnah. (Allah knows the truth.)
The fact that the number of Muslims who are not deceived by the antichrist's indoctrination will be very small is in complete agreement with the verses of the Qur'an. It is revealed in the Qur'an that most people will not possess faith and that most will not obey the messengers. Some verses on this subject are as follows:
But most people, for all your eagerness, are not believer. (Surah Yusuf, 103)
... Those are the signs of the Book. And what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth. But most people have no faith. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 1)
We have variegated it for them so they might pay heed but most people spurn anything else but disbelief. (Surat al-Furqan, 50)
It is very easy, by Allah's leave, on the other hand for believers who see the true face of the antichrist to avoid his fitnah. Our beloved Prophet (saas) has revealed in hadiths how believers need to protect themselves against the antichrist's fitnah and stratagems:
The Prophet (saas) referred to difficulties and shortages before the coming of the antichrist. At that point the people asked him: "O Messenger of Allah! What is most auspicious on that day?" "A young man who gives his people water. There is nothing to eat on that day," he replied.
Qiram asked, "Then what will believers eat on that day?" The Prophet (saas) answered, "The tasbih, the takbir and the tahlil."
(Saim Gungor, Buyuk Fitne Mesih-i Deccal [The Great Corruption of the Messiah Antichrist], pp. 56-57)
Tasbih: Glorifying Allah, reciting His finest names.Takbir: Recalling that Allah is Almighty and Great.Tahlil: Remembering that there is only one Allah, and no other God than Him.
This reminder issued by our Prophet (saas) is of course an important guide for believers. Indeed, it is revealed in the Qur'an that – at a time when the believers were fighting the hypocrites and unbelievers of the Prophet's (saas) day – believers seeking salvation must frequently remember Allah:
You who believe! When you meet a troop, stand firm and remember Allah repeatedly so that hopefully you will be successful. (Surat al-Anfal, 45)
Another way whereby the fitnah of the antichrist can be neutralized is also revealed in hadiths: calling all people to faith by explaining, with full supporting evidence, the existence and oneness of Allah and by combating irreligion in the most effective manner on the level of ideas. This is a major responsibility that all true believers must assume. In the End Times this responsibility will be discharged under the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will make great efforts to call people to faith and preach true religious moral values to all. The great Islamic scholar Imam Rabbani drew attention to this in the words:
A scholar of theology and metaphysics will come and prove all the truths of faith and Islam with the most rational and clearest evidence. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Rays, p. 152; Saban Dogen, Mehdi ve Deccal [The Mahdi and the Antichrist], p. 105)
Imam Rabbani is referring to the emergence of a holy individual who will communicate the signs leading to faith against the antichrist during a great intellectual struggle. This holy personage will tell people of the existence and oneness of Allah, in such a way as to permit no debate or doubt, with certain proof and in the most effective manner, and will also warn them of the Day of Judgment. There is no doubt that this is the most effective intellectual struggle to be waged against the antichrist, who denies all spiritual values, leads people into denial and turns them away from religious moral values. Under the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as), believers will oppose the antichrist with a spiritual force and wage an intellectual struggle that will eliminate the influence of the antichrist by calling people to abide by religious moral precepts.
It is of the utmost importance that Muslims engaged in this struggle should have a spirit of unity. In one hadith, "... There will be no Muslim whose home corruption does not touch and enter. This will continue until a man from my line [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears…" (Nuaim Ibn Hammad, vr, 75b; Saban Dogen, Mehdi ve Deccal [The Mahdi and the Antichrist], Genclik Publishing, 2nd edition), our Prophet (saas) has noted that the End Times will be a difficult period for believers. In another hadith we are told how believers may avoid these harsh conditions:
In those days, Muslims whose relations with one another are impaired will be unable to escape being the targets of the antichrist. (Mustadrak al-Hakim, 4:529-530; Saban Dogen, Mehdi ve Deccal [The Mahdi and the Antichrist], Genclik Publishing, 2nd edition)
Our Prophet's (saas) words clearly show that believers who wish to avoid the trial of the antichrist must have a spirit of union and unity and act in the knowledge that all Muslims are brothers. Our Lord has also revealed in the Qur'an that the faithful must support and have solidarity with one another, or else there will be corruption and disorder in the world:
Those who disbelieve are the friends and protectors of one another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption. (Surat al-Anfal, 73)
When these moral values are displayed, devout believers who struggle against the antichrist with pure sincerity, even though they may be few in number, may hope for our Lord to make Qur'anic moral values supreme across the whole world. Allah has revealed in the Qur'an that a community small in numbers has overcome much larger communities with many more means at its disposal. There is no doubt that this is both welcome news for sincere believers and also a source of great joy and enthusiasm. Our Lord has revealed:
… But those who were sure that they were going to meet Allah said, "How many a small force has triumphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is with the steadfast." (Surat al-Baqara, 249)

This article originally appeared in Miller-McCune magazine and is reprinted with permission.
By Norman Nie
Norman H Nie is professor emeritus at the University of Chicago and Stanford University.
A comprehensive look at voter behavior and demographics reveals a momentous prospect: a Hispanic electorate that turns out to vote en masse, allies itself strongly with one political party and changes America's political balance for decades.
Common wisdom notwithstanding, neither Democrats nor Republicans have yet sealed the Hispanic deal.
The rapid growth in the US Hispanic population over the last 40 years—both in terms of raw numbers and percentage of the population—is probably the most important emergent force in American politics today. The evidence is around us: In 2008, each party conducted an entire presidential primary debate in Spanish. In 2009, the first Hispanic judge, Sonia Sotomayor, was appointed to the US Supreme Court. And in 2010, for the first time ever in a single election, three Hispanic candidates won top statewide offices: Republican Susana Martinez won in New Mexico to become the nation's first Hispanic woman elected governor; Republican Brian Sandoval became Nevada's first Hispanic governor; and Republican Marco Rubio was elected to represent Florida in the US Senate.
Despite these notable top-of-the-ticket wins by Hispanic Republicans in 2010, most political observers continue to assume there is significant and stable support for Democrats among Hispanics, similar to the support that African Americans have shown in recent decades. Indeed, new Hispanic voters have entered the electorate more often as Democrats than as Republicans in recent elections.
But the current degree of Hispanic attachment to the Democratic Party is by no means a future certainty.
We examined Hispanic turnout and partisanship in midterm elections—that is, the elections where turnout isn't significantly affected by charismatic presidential candidates—from 1978 to 2006 by collecting and matching data from several sources. First, we combined more than 150 academic and high-quality commercial public opinion surveys, each of which employed a nationally representative sample of at least 1,000 respondents. In addition to this combined dataset, we added voter turnout data from the US Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, creating what we believe is the most comprehensive demographic and voting behavior dataset ever compiled for midterm elections. The data allowed us to examine both overall trends and individual behavior. (Individual level data is not yet publicly available for the 2010 midterm election, but aggregate results are considered here.)
On the surface, the information we gathered supports some common political wisdom: A vast buildup of potential Hispanic voters, primarily composed of immigrant citizens and young US-born Hispanics, has generally tended to favor Democrats, but turned out to vote at far lower levels than whites or African-Americans during the last three decades.
Our dataset, however, shows that the common wisdom misses a potentially momentous prospect.
Once we accounted for demographic differences known to affect turnout, we found that Hispanics actually vote at rates very similar to those of whites and blacks. In other words, much of the explanation for the low turnout rates for Hispanics is not related to being Hispanic, but to Hispanics being younger and having less education on average than whites or blacks.
Similarly, we found that, in terms of both party identification and the strength of that partisanship, the differences between whites and Hispanics disappear when individual-level characteristics such as age and education are taken into account. In short, the data suggest that Hispanics have not been genuinely incorporated into the party system or made anything like a deep commitment to either party.
But that incorporation and commitment may come soon.

Distance education or distance learning is a style of delivering education and instruction to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom. Distance learning allows students to learn when the source of information is separated from them by distance, time or both. Distance learning often involves heavy use of technology to coordinate course lessons, activities, assignments, exams, etc. Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason (including taking exams) have been commonly referred to as "hybrid" or "blended."

You know, unless Johan Santana can't start the season, and then he's your fourth starter. Or there's another injury as well, always possible with pitchers, and then he's your third starter.
That's the only reasonable conclusion out of Sandy Alderson's comments yesterday, when he pointed out something obvious- Johan Santana, off of shoulder surgery that has taken most pitchers more than a year to return from, is no sure thing to start the season- and added something puzzling, after making it clear that he doesn't expect any major moves in the rotation.
Here's the comment on pitching depth:
"The problem with rotation depth is you have to hit the sweet spot. You have to find somebody who could be a swingman — because if everything goes right, we don't have a spot in that rotation. So it's got to be somebody who can either be a swingman out of the bullpen, or somebody who could go to Triple-A initially and maybe move up and down.
"There are some interesting names out there. We have to hit the right spot with the guy that gives us the kind of flexibility that will ultimately give us the depth. And that's not always easy to find.
"We claimed [Jeremy] Hafner off waivers yesterday. I think he's the kind of guy that would fit what we're looking for in terms of depth – somebody that has options that we can move back and forth. He's not an established name, but someone we think nonetheless might be helpful."
Let's break this down. Because they have five starters, they don't want to take the chance that adding a sixth starter could produce a logjam.
First of all, Dillon Gee still has options. And frankly, after a season of 84 ERA+ and 4.46 xFIP, he didn't exactly make the case that he is indispensable and needs to remain in the rotation no matter what.
Second, let's game this out. Let's say Santana is healthy and dominating, Gee becomes a mainstay so great this spring that even keeping him as a long man is impossible to stomach, and the Mets have the unfortunate problem of a sixth starting pitcher who simply can't fit in the rotation. Oy, such problems. What to do?
Simple. The Mets trade a starter if stuck in that awful, never-going-to-happen position.
So yes, we know what this is really about. I hate to repeat myself on this, but the Mets are using Jeremy Hafner as sixth starter for the same reason they are using Mike Nickeas as their backup catcher.
Even a reasonable fallback plan is beyond their means right now.

Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust has come under fire from patients who say they had to wait hours before getting through to an emergency helpline.
The trust's crisis resolution home treatment service claims to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but patients have said it is not accessible and is leaving them "in danger".
Christina Meacham, chief executive of mental health charity Mind in Barnet, said: "If we have a person in our group who needs urgent help then we ring the crisis service but we have had problems dialling through and getting a response.
"It's worrying that even professionals have difficulty getting responses from statutory services."
Ms Meacham said this is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently, but also said people with mental health should have access to round the clock, hands-on support.
She said: "There should be a manager and mental health liaison officer who know about mental health based in A&E departments. That would reduce the amount of pressure on the crisis line.
"Social interventions are often more useful than medical interventions, so if there was someone they could talk to, it would really help. It's a low cost social intervention."
One mental health patient spoke to the Times Series about his experiences about getting help in an emergency.
The 43-year-old from Barnet, who asked to remain anonymous, said he has tried to call the crisis helpline many times this year but has often been left hanging on the line for between four to five hours at a time.
He said: "I feel like you have to jump through hoops and loops to get to the service. If something isn't done about this, people will end up turning to suicide.
"Mental health is the least funded, least understood and least cared for."
He agrees with Ms Meacham that sufferers should have a "place of safety" they can turn to when they are in need.
He added: "We're talking about human lives – it shouldn't be about money. Something must be done."
The trust has apologised to patients who have struggled to contact the service.
A mental health trust spokesman said: "We always aim to respond as soon as possible to all urgent referrals and we apologise if any individuals have had difficulty contacting us – we would be happy to discuss this with them if they wished."
The spokesman added the trust's crisis resolution and home treatment teams provide a "dedicated" service for urgent mental health referrals.
He said: "They are able to assess service users wherever they are at the point of referral, eg GP surgery, A&E or their own home. We keep the service under continuous review to ensure it remains as responsive as possible to people's needs."
The trust said it also operates a full rapid assessment, intervention and discharge service in North Middlesex Hospital and an enhanced liaison psychiatry service in Barnet General Hospital.
The spokesman said: "This means that mental health staff are based in both acute hospitals to provide support to A&E staff and people with mental health problems."

Women are encoded by Allah, to pursue faith and morals. She can only love when she sees that. When she doesn't see that morality, Allah would take away that power and she can no longer be able to love. They assume that once you decide on it, you can love someone. That is not the case, that is not how it works. Allah is the One Who gives love. No matter how much you work on it, love would not be formed. It has to be created in your destiny.
We will see both Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh). However Jesus Messiah is not 33 years old at the moment. In my opinion, I say - Allah knows the truth- he came in the year 2002. And he was 33 then. How old would he be now then? 43. But Prophets remain youthful. However I still did not understand how he works. Bediuzzaman says; "He targets politics, he carries out political activities." He has a way of working that affects the world politics and insha'Allah we will see when the time comes.
(Regarding the news reports stating that in the military training center of American Navy Seals in Virginia, soldiers are trained on close combat techniques with a photo of a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf and the verses of the Qur'an- may Allah forbid- attached on the target board.)
The dajjal (antichrist) has laid its hands on there as far as I see. The foot of antichrist (dajjal) has walked over those places. And the American government is merely watching them. They are making a grave mistake. There had been such tactless people before. They have to take extensive precautions regarding this. These are very dangerous types. They need to be very precautious, very careful.
It is very nice to hear the verses of the Qur'an in Arabic but that would not fulfill the religious obligation we have. I mean you wouldn't be able to learn the judgments of Allah when the Qur'an is recited in Arabic because that is a language you do not know. When the Qur'an is recited in Arabic one would say; "How nice, we've listened to the Qur'an." Yet do you know the meanings of these verses? What will you be asked about in the Hereafter? You will be asked about their meanings. And you do not know their meanings. If they have read the Qur'an in Spanish, you might like the sound of Spanish as well. But what about the meaning? You wouldn't get the meaning. What will you be asked about? You will be asked about the meaning of them. That is why you need to leave that conservative mindset aside. You should concentrate on the meaning of the verses. This one recites the Qur'an in length in a touching voice at the top of his lungs by changing the meanings of the verses. First of all Allah does not want us to recite the Qur'an with a loud voice. The man sighs. And that is pretentious as well. That is because they are distorting the meaning of the verses. He stretches the voices. How could the meaning be clear in that? There is a voice that constantly stretches the sounds. That is not how the Qur'an should be recited. For instance the Qur'an might be recited with a beautiful music but without stretching the sounds of the letters. The recitation should be reasonable and understandable.
In the life span of this big world- it should be about 15 billion years or so- the period in which humans existed is about 100-200 thousand years or so. Think about it, within this time period there is a world dominion of 7 to 9 years. There had never been such a dominion and this will be the first time. During the test, Allah regards the dominion of the unbelievers to be more important. That is because in such an environment the test would be completed in the real sense of the word. During the Golden Age there is no such trial, the test during that time is a very very slim one.
Almighty Allah deemed backbiting unlawful with the verses of the Qur'an. Allah says; "Would any of you like to eat his brother´s dead flesh? No, you would hate it." Almighty Allah has thus deemed it unlawful by religion. He likens it to eating one's brother's dead flesh. That is why a Muslim would never ever lend himself to such a behaviour.2012-08-20 12:48:54

AS the bright evening sunshine turns the redbrick houses of a typically Edwardian terrace in Swindon a luminous shade of orangey-pink I can see a man at the end of the street comfortably installed on a camping chair who is utterly engrossed in his work with a sketchbook.
I am aiming for a pub – the Steam Railway in Newport Street as it happens – but cannot help stopping to peer over Tim Carroll's shoulder. One look and I am hooked. He is in the process of completing a strikingly symmetrical pencil drawing of the vista in front of us.
Tim, a professional artist, appears to have captured on his A4 pad the harmony and uniformity of the streetscape: bay windows, garden walls, sloping roofs, front porches, chimney stacks – even the ubiquitous rows of cars parked along both sides of St Margaret's Road in Old Town.
"I have to include the cars," he says, examining his work-in-progress. "They are as much a part of the street scene as everything else."
I am inclined to wonder aloud how he can draw such straight lines with a free hand?
"Oh, there are some wobbly bits," he says. But I can't see any.
Tim is involved, it emerges, in a unique local art project that he has recently dreamt up… to paint 100 Views of Swindon in – give or take a few weeks – a year.
It all began in April with a vague notion of producing something a little different from his recent leaps of imagination or classically-inspired themes which bear titles such as Dance III – Garden of Hesperides.
Also, he quite fancied working outdoors but without the hassle of dragging brushes and paints around, or parking himself with a large easel "like some peculiar character at the end of the street."
Then it dawned: all he needed was a standard sketchbook; he could finish the rest of the painting back at the studio.
Tim decided to render a local street scene as accurately as possible and for no particular reason chose Sunnyside Avenue off Kingshill Road, as viewed somewhat panoramically from The Heights. Mmm! He was rather pleased with the result. "It came out quite well," he recalls. How about a series of Swindon streetscapes, he pondered. And then… why not a hundred of them depicting both the changes of Swindon during the seasons and also the immense physical upheavals – buildings going up, others coming down – that the town is currently undergoing.
Creating pencil sketches is the first – and trickiest – stage. It takes between one-and-a-half to three hours for Tim to produce one of these carefully detailed, meticulously aligned drawings.
"Drawing is hard work," he says. "Something like this involves a lot of focus and concentration.
"It's quite a weird feeling. After a while you suddenly start seeing things you hadn't noticed before… like flapping laundry on a washing line. I'm spending a couple of hours scrutinising a view you would normally look at for two or three seconds."
Having finished a "sketch" – though the word hardly does justice to such elaborate, clinically-executed drawings – he goes on to produce a vivid, full-colour acrylic version several hours later, with the aid of a few photos to remind him of the day's shades and colours.
At the time of writing he had completed 23 of the pieces and should be well past the venture's quarter stage by the time this article is in print.
"Twenty three is very good going," he says. "I've been averaging about two a week but it's easy to get distracted with other commitments."
At his home-cum-studio, Tim lays most of the paintings on the floor, creating a striking collage showing fleeting glimpses of Swindon. It becomes a game trying to recognise them all. Street signs are, of course, a useful clue. Any favourites so far?
"I really like the Technical College," he says, examining his recent take on the familiar Victorian landmark at the foot of Vic Hill. Its redbrick presence is conspicuously offset by the creamy stone monolith looming in its shadow, the new Regent Circus development.
Crombey Street, too, is another favourite.
"The sky looks very Simpsons, but that's exactly how it was when I was there."
The juxtaposition of the old and the new is a recurring theme – unblemished new towers peeking over Victorian terraces.
After further examination of these works, which are scattered around the floor, he points to one and says: "I like that. It's got three well known Swindon buildings all in one view."
They are St Mark's church spire, the old GWR Pattern Shop and the David Murray John Tower, thoughtfully arranged as if in anticipation of Tim's project.
"You can't really ignore the David Murray John Tower if you are drawing scenes of Swindon. Why would you want to?" he says.
Swindon's tallest building certainly pops up quite often, mostly in the distance.
He goes on: "They are quite accurate at the moment. As accurate as I can make them without using a ruler. But they don't all work… some of them aren't that interesting."
Tim has decided to portray the next 25 in watercolour, and a further raft of Swindon views in another medium, perhaps mono print (an impression made from a block.) "I am worried about them all becoming a bit samey. There's no point in banging out similar looking reproductions all the time." How does he choose which Swindon scenes to portray? "There's no logic…. I'll see a certain view and think 'I'll do that one.'"
Admiring The Plough in Croft Road, with its eye-catching grey façade, I can't help grinning at the figure who has just emerged from the bar. It is Stevie Gerrard in full World Cup England regalia, stretching his legs next to a mobility scooter.
And why is TV archaeologist Mary Beard poking around in Dowling Street instead of poking around in ancient Rome?
"I'd like to work up a few people – I'm toying with the idea of populating the street scenes a bit," muses Tim.
Stevie and Mary aside, the only other living creature in his Twenty Three Views of Swindon So Far is a crow.
Tim is aware of an artist in Bath who turns out replica images of the city's genteel Regency structures and flogs them to throngs of Japanese and American tourists.
But Swindon, most definitely, is not Bath. "Swindon is architecturally challenged, you have to be fair," he shrugs.
When the project winds up in a year or so he would like to exhibit the works altogether – just once – as a kind of crowning glory.
"It would be nice to see them all on one wall." After that he will sell them; maybe one by one, or perhaps in blocks, area by area.
Studying the predominantly bright and breezy scenes reminds Tim of the agreeable climes in which he has worked alfresco over the past few months.
"It's been such a fantastic summer. There have been some electric blue skies."
Bulging rainclouds, plunging temperatures, woolly jumpers and plastic macs, alas, await…
- Tim's Views of Swindon can be seen, alongside many other of his works, as part of the Swindon Open Studios event this month. Members of the public can visit his studio at 52 St Margaret's Road, Old Town, SN3 1RX either this Saturday or Sunday (Sept 6/7) or the following Sunday, September 14. They may even get a cuppa.
Elvis witha bag of chips
Bob Dylan chilling out in Colbourne Street. Elvis with a bag of chips in Eastcott Hill. Marilyn Monroe oozing glamour in Western Street. The Beatles strolling through the town centre, Abbey Road style.
Twelve years ago Tim created an amusing series of Stars in Swindon paintings, superimposing our heroes onto a number of local scenes.
A fine arts graduate from Leeds University, Tim, 55, has been a leading figure in the Swindon arts scene for many years.
On one occasion he and fellow artist Gordon Dickinson converted a condom machine at the Beehive pub in Prospect Hill into an 'art box' – inviting regulars to stick £1 in for a miniature piece of art they had come up with.
Our street
Tim didn't have to walk far to draw St Margaret's Road in Old Town. Just across the road, in fact. He says: "I have to include the cars. They are as much a part of the street scene as everything else." The full colour, acrylic-on-board painting, just over A4 size, was created on a computer copy of his initial pencil drawing seen here in all of its painstaking detail. Sitting on his camping chair Tim takes between one-and-a-half to three hours to produce these drawings.

If you thought flying a Flappy Bird was fiendish, just wait until you try swooping Swing Copters. So say new addicts of the latest free app from cult Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen, who this week overcame his famous revulsion at his previous creation to release what looks like another hit.
Droves of instant Swing Copters devotees took to Twitter Friday to bemoan how guiding the propeller-headed hero through a landscape of deadly swinging obstacles was even closer to impossible than navigating Flappy Bird's famously exasperating arrays of killer pipes. Read more

Is this really necessary? That was merely a Rasengan made with tailed beast chakra, this is more towards the Vermilion Rasengan we long ago incorporated the Rasengan page than it is to a new technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:21, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think this is needed either.--Deva 27 (talk) 01:23, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it is needed either, it was a normal rasengan with a different chakra source. SimAnt 01:24, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Have you all forgotten how much Kishimoto loves to make new Rasengan with completely uninspired names? ~SnapperTo 03:54, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
SimAnt, if you don't like it, please refrain from taking the picture off the page...
I think it does need it's own page. It's completely different from the normal Rasengan. It's got a different chakra source, different way of forming it, and it's not a Tailed Beast Bomb like the other Tailed Beasts use. I think it's good to have a page so it doesn't get confused with the other ones (: SusanooUnleashed (talk) 04:16, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
I agree, because does a normal Rasengan have this type of formation? Nope. A normal Rasengan uses the concentrated spiral, now this Rasengan just forms into a compacted ball, no rotations needed.
Oops, I was wrong. It DOES need chakra rotation :P CDi-FailsCDi-Fails (talk) 04:42, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Would just like to mention that tailed beast bomb can only be performed in biju mode. RASENGAN is a jutsu that took its concept from the biju ball. Bee said that it was as if minato made this jutsu for his son. SOOOO naruto can perform this tech without having to go into biju mode. THIS IS NARUTO'S WAY OF DOING THE BIJU BOMB. we should add this on the page....
The Vermilion Rasengan and Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan are two different jutsus. The latter also doesn't look like a normal Rasengan. I think the justu's earned a high enough rank to get it's own page. When the Fourth Data book comes out it'll probably get its name and rank. That's if Kishi-sensei doesn't give it's actual name later in the manga even. Sparxs77 (talk) 08:26, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Isn't there a page dedicated to all the rasengan? I really wish people would wait before they go creating pages... The technique was barely even created yet. This really is the pat of manga release that i detest --Cerez365 (talk) 11:38, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I have to say that I don't think this technique deserves its own page. From what I can gather, it is nothing more than a simple Rasengan with unexpected results. Naruto may use those chakra arms to create it, but we don't consider his Kage Bunshin-created Rasengan to be different from the normal one. He may use the Kyūbi's chakra, but that doesn't make it fundamentally different either. It should be mentioned on the Rasengan page, but an own page is too much for now. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 11:41, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
With all respect said now, if this page gets deleted, then Wind Style: Rasengan should also be deleted. Same fundemental basics isn't it. THAT is also just a Rasengan infused with Wind Chakra. This is a Rasengan infused with Kyuubi chakra. It's a pretty huge step in the manga. It even says at the end of the chapter that it's a new jutsu. We keep all the non-canon game Rasengans (examples include True Rasengan, Three Tailed Rasengan), but we shoot down the actual canon that comes along. I just don't think it's fair that we keep certain stuff, just because we feel like it and then discard other CANON stuff!! Sparxs77 (talk) 18:55, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Wind Release: Rasengan has nature manipulation added to the mix, which does indeed make it fundamentally different from the Rasengan. It is also easier to categorise on the wiki when it has its own article. We keep the game variations because they are treated differently in the games. this Rasengan was considered nothing more than a Rasengan. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:16, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- End of chapter 519 (according to the Mangastream translation) it states "new jutsu." I hate to repeat myself, but this Rasengan looks entirely different than a regular Rasengan!! A regular Rasengan resembles typhoon. This new Rasengan resembles a Menacing Ball. This will be something entirely new, because Naruto will not be able to consume this. It'll be his own unique jutsu unlike other Jinchuriki's Menacing Ball. It deserves recognition. On Sasuke's page the Shield of Amaterasu is the same as Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi (Shape Transformation of Amaterasu) and yet that has never been considered for deletion. That is why I stated above: If we do one thing on one page, it should be done on all the pages. Sparxs77 (talk) 12:57, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Sparxs, the end of chapter 519 on Mangastream says "Naruto begins a new technique..." signifying that he is getting ready to create a new one. That doesn't change the fact that this was simply a Rasengan, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't matter what it looks like. Naruto wasn't trying anything different with it, so its just the regular technique. Using the Shield of Amaterasu and Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi as an example doesn't make sense either, since they are different techniques. In one, Sasuke simply sets Susanoo on fire with Amaterasu to protect himself, and with the other, he actually shapes the flames into spikes to use for attack. Those are two completely different uses, and the second was given a name. Naruto called this technique the Rasengan when he was forming it. Its the same thing! I don't even see how there is still an argument here. All of the information on this page is located on Rasengan's page too, so this page is redundant. ---Ten Tailed Fox talk page 15:15, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Ten Tailed Fox, telling me that my example doesn't make sense is the biggest slap in the face I got. You've just decided that this page isn't necessary and when people comes to the front with evidence, why it is an important page, then it "doesn't make sense!" Whatever, do what you want... Delete the page. Obviously the lesser contributor's contributions and facts are not taken into account. Sparxs77 (talk) 07:21, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
Probably the best idea, we should just put this picture on Naruto's main page under the new information added last week. What this article details is identical to what Naruto's main page is saying, so we might as well show his "new way of forming his rasengan" on the main page and delete this article until more information is revealed about the 8:2 ratio rasengan. Shikamaru1994 (talk) 23:29, December 7, 2010 (UTC)Shikamaru1994
I know this seems pointless reviving this, but I think we should revisit this discussion again, since I agree with a few people above that this just seems like a more denser version of the Vermillion Rasengan and the fact that it's just the Rasengan being formed from some other source of Chakra. --Speysider (Talk Page) 13:11, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
Normal Rasengan
ShounenSuki is right. When Naruto was forming this technique, he wasn't adding anything new to it. He was just trying to form the regular Rasengan with his Nine-Tails Chakra Arms instead of Shadow Clones. It unexpectedly took on the form of the Tailed Beast Ball. Βee further proves this by saying that Rasengan is essentially the same as the Menacing ball because it uses the same fundamental steps to form it. This technique is nothing more than a normal Rasengan that had unexpected results. Until Naruto gives it a new name or it shows a fundamentally different use from the normal Rasengan, this should be merged with the normal Rasengan page. ---Ten Tailed Fox talk page 16:50, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe we should just keep this page like it is, and wait for more info. Anyways, we have already mentioned it is incomplete. Even so, wouldn't you call rasengan an incomplete move??? it only had shape transformation, no nature.
- I think its pretty dumb to keep it up, actually. All the information on this article has been added to Rasengan's article, making this article redundant. Furthermore, as I said, this is a normal Rasengan, so it belongs on the normal Rasengan's page. This article, in my opinion, is unneeded. ---Ten Tailed Fox talk page 22:03, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
- It isn't a 'normal Rasengan', hell its practically called a new technique at the end of the chapter. And its using Black and White chakra-how isn't that fundamentally different to the normal Rasengan? --NaruHina fan (talk) 20:24, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with what NaruHina says --Leodix | My Talk | Contributions 20:33, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- That's just the sig, the users' actual name is SuperSaiyaMan. And what the chapter said is that Naruto's is beginning to use make a new technique. When Naruto started making this, he calls it Rasengan. We've seen many techniques much more similar to Rasengan be given different names, I find it unlikely that this will change all of a sudden. Like mentioned before, this is merely a Rasengan made with a different chakra source, and we never considered Shadow Clone-aided Rasengan as a different technique, same applies here. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:50, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- This technique Naruto showed was clearly a normal Rasengan. The new technique will be one that actually works in Rikudō Mode. The final page of chapter 519 say "towards Naruto's new jutsu...!!" (「ナルト新術へ...!!」, "Naruto shinjutsu e...!!") and the preview for chapter 520 says "Towards the completion of the new jutsu...!!!" (「新術の完成へ...!!」, "Shinjutsu no kansei e...!!"). Both clearly indicate Naruto doesn't actually have a new jutsu yet. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 00:11, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
In my opinion, we should keep the article until we have more information that may appear on the next chapter. --Leodix | My Talk | Contributions 20:01, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Still, keeping the delete tag directs people to take part in the discussion. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:50, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- There's always the chance to redirect this page to the Rasengan page and add the details there and only reinstate this page if enough information is provided that would make it worthy to have it's own separate page, due to the fact that not enough notable information is available at the moment, and is an alternative to deletion. -Adv193 (talk) 01:12, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
Well, Chapter 520 calls it a new technique, and Naruto even gives it a new name, so I say we keep this article! --CDi-Fails (talk) 03:58, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
- I can also agree now. Naruto has named it and he has also noted differences from the regular Rasengan (weight). ---Ten Tailed Fox talk page 04:39, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
- The technique we were shown in 519 is still different from the technique we were shown in 520, though. The difference lies in Naruto trying to balance the black and white chakra. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Why not just put it under the normal rasengan page as, "new form of rasengan" or something like that. --Elvesyou 14:06, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Ratio simplification
I know Kishimoto mentioned the chakra ratio as 8:2, and I have no big issues with it, but is there some significant reason for us not to simplify it as 4:1? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:09, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
- It's not really necessary in my opinion. it wouldn't add much and might actually cause some minor confusion. Let's just keep it the way it is. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:39, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Plan on what to do
Let's just keep the page, then once Naruto completes the new technique, we can update the page to make it official info on the actual COMPLETE version.
Is it safe to say that it is a short range technique. Rasengan is a short range but the tailed beast bonb is not so shouldn't we wait to see the characteristics that this jutsu will adapt. This jutsu could end up being like rasen shuriken witch can be thrown. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 16:11, December 20, 2010 (UTC) You know how Bee said this is made in the exact same way as the Tailed-Beast Ball, so maybe it's attack is the same as a Tailed-Beast ball but a lot harder to make. So it could be Long-Range. We don't know yet though we'll just have to wait.--Shabih (talk) 19:47, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
Will Naruto ever complete the technique? He may do it to attack faster, or may not do it as he can do the tailed beast ball.
It's all up to KishimotoUndominanthybrid (talk) 17:33, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
In the Yang Release page it says: "When Naruto was in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Yamato's Wood Release totems reacted to the Yang chakra's life-giving properties and matured into full-grown trees."
Since it has already been said that Minato sealed the Kyubi's Yang chakra inside Naruto and since it has been proved by the above statement that Naruto's covered in Yang chakra when in his new transformation, could we consider the new Rasengan to be a Yang release technique?Nawirama13 (talk) 20:43, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Since we don't fully known what Bee meant by the black and white chakra ratio, we're avoiding that at the moment. Plus, if Yin and Yang turn out to be something that is a general skill, it isn't listed except for special cases, and we'll have to see if this is one.

We don't know yet if it is a yang release, but it probably is going to be. The Black and White may be Yin and Yang chakra... but Naruto doesn't have the Nine-Tails' Yin chakra--Shabih (talk) 19:53, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
Well, Naruto has his own Yin chakra to draw from, instead of using the lack Kyubi Yin chakra he could supplant it with his.Umishiru (talk) 20:30, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
He can't because he has to temporarily shelve out his chakra to use the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.--Shabih (talk) 21:25, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
Yin and Yang essentially mean Dark and Light. Black and White. Tailed beasts are essentially made of yin and yang chakra. And consdering the tailed beast bomb is 8 dark and 2 light. It is a Yin-Yang Release technique. What else could killer bee have meant. There is yet another type of chakra called black and white chakra. No, its Yin and Yang chakra. Please dont get this confused with Yin and Yang energies. Basically Yin and Yang Chakra. Is Dark and Light. Yin and Yang energies. Which form the foundation of basic chakra. Is spiritual and physical. There is two different types of Yin and Yang in Naruto.
So yeah. Tailed Beast bomb is a Yin-Yang Release technique. —This unsigned comment was made by Raiken1992 (talk • contribs) .
Yeah... no. The terms used to describe the chakra qualities in the Tailed Beast Rasengan were black and white, positive and negative. Not Yin and Yang. Just because those terms can be associated with one of the principles, it doesn't mean they are. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:29, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah. If you need both yin and yang chakra to make the bij bomb, then how did the fox do it with only its yang chakra. Think man126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:55, March 27, 2012 (UTC)S.K.
- Yeah, actually friend, the chakra was called positive black chakra (+の黒チャクラ, purasu no kuro chakura), and negative white chakra (−の白チャクラ, mainasu no shiro chakura) it was never referred to as Yin and Yang chakra. It's commonly misplaced as such simply because people believe Yin and Yang has to be black and white.--Cerez365™ 09:47, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
Chakra Arms
Should they be mentioned as a pearent jutsu? We don't list Shadow Clone Technique as a parent for Rasenshuriken. Naruto uses arms because he can't craete Rasengan by himself.--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:30, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Fox Mode Rasengan
Can you tell me how Naruto can do a normal Rasengan in his Fox Mode? When he tries to form the Rasengan for the first time in this mode, it's the Tailed Beast Bomb. But in the latest chapter, he can do a normal Rasengan in his Fox Mode. Shouldn't it be the Tailed Beast Bomb again? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:38, July 7, 2011 (UTC)Joey
- The Tailed Beast Rasengan is trying to mold the black and white chakra of a demon into a Rasengan, as he is incapable of forming Tailed Beast Ball on his own. All the Rasengans are just elaborate normal Rasengans, probably using the cloak to spin the his normal chakra without his hands.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 00:23, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
If I'm not mistaken, he tried to do a "normal" Rasengan when he found out he couldn't do the Tailed Beast Bomb. When he tried that "normal" Rasengan, it turned out to the Tailed Beast Bomb.18.104.22.168 (talk) 01:31, July 8, 2011 (UTC)Joey

I don't think "Tailed Beast Rasengan" is the official name of this technique. If I am not mistaken, it is referred only once by a name, but as "Tailed Beast Ball" by Naruto at the end of chapter 554. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:42, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

- No riddles. Fine, you're boring (T_T). Anywho if theres going to be a discussion it's more or less should be how the Declaration is not fair. In fact, it isn't. It was designed in a way to punish people for not having discussions that everyone can agree to and ending amicably, and not devolve into pissing matches (yes I love that phrase). The conversion of manga images to anime images is supposed to enforce that, to show that things can be a lot worse than having to fight back and forth when someone could just randomly drop an image in and by rules it cannot be changed. This way people will be more inclined to have a civil discussion that will lead to a mutually beneficial conclusion.

- In other matters: I did not start this discussion. So if there's anyone to blame for starting this discussion, it's EzioLover for making the image change suggestion in the first place. This is the only time where a discussion is more beneficial than just randomly dropping an image in, because there's a split as some people don't like how the animators depicted it and some who think the anime depiction is fine. I'm with the people who think the manga image is more preferably here since I just feel there's something wrong with the anime depiction.

Why does it seem like you believe I'm always blaming you for stuff? (Don't answer this question, think of your answer and reflect on it yourself.) And this discussion is no different from every other discussion we've had like this in the past, from Konan, to the tailed beasts to hell I even think all of the Part I characters. Actually that's not true, every other discussion didn't have the Declaration over it's head. Hence, why I'm even here, explaining things about an article of truly little significance. I will admit, I jumped the gun. I don't watch the anime, so when the image of Naruto not having a Rasengan in hand appeared, I assumed that was all that was shown. Today I know the Rasengan did indeed exist, and it worked thus it fell under the Declaration.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:44, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Since you don't watch the anime, it might be wise not to get involved in discussions like this, unless you are reminding us of the Declaration. ;) Just my 2c though. --Speysider (Talk Page) 13:51, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

- The anime image is fine. Why do we need a full shot of Naruto preforming the technique? We see the orb in his hands and it looks, for the most part, exactly how the manga depicts it. I watch the anime and read the manga and the only real issue I see is the way Naruto glows and the size of his chakra arms and that really isn't an issue that's going away anytime soon. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 18:54, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Are we really sure that Tailed Beast Rasengan isn't just a close-range version of the Bomb?

- I thought when we learned how Minato created the Rasengan, we realised that it's just a small Tailed Beast Ball. This is why the formation et al will be really similar but it doesn't mean they're the same technique. Tailed Beast Rasengan was named outside of simply calling it the Tailed Beast Ball, more than likely beause of how it's produced and nothing more.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:53, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Do people still believe that this is it's own technique? Naruto uses Tailed Beast Bomb in the war, that's pretty much a projectile version of this, meaning, that if he can do the latter, he must be able to use TBR as well, but he is yet to. And I doubt he will ever do so, this thing EXPLODES upon contact, there's no way this is usable at close range...

Because Naruto named it as such, but it's not a different technique. The mini version of this is even called BALL. Rasengan is a human version of TBB. An ordinary Rasengan isn't possible with using the "yin yang" chakra of tailed beasts, that was made pretty clear, what Naruto did was an incomplete TBB and has already completed it by now. This won't be completed by him, because it already is just under it's true name--Elveonora (talk) 13:59, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
He referred to the Eight tails tailed beast ball when making it in the recent anime episode. If I remember correctly, its the same in the manga. Pretty sure Naruto thinks of a rasengan with tailed beast chakra as a tailed beast ball. Not to mention that killer bee said it was impossible to do in human form without stabilizing it, i.e. chakra rotation. This should be merged with super mini, not the regular one. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 20:46, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Doesn't make sense merging this with the mini version. I'm starting to think this should be merged with the TBB, but there's the last Chikara episode. Confusing. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 21:35, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
It was made clear that TBR in human mode is IMPOSSIBLE, and in TB mode it's no longer TBR but TBB thus this technique doesn't even exist--Elveonora (talk) 22:13, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
- This technique is it's own technique though. Just like all the other Rasengan variants. An obsolete one mind you, but not something that is is to be merged with Tailed Beast Ball.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 23:45, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
It's unusable, that's like listing healing no jutsu to Tenten cause she attempted to use it and heal a fish. Since he can't do this in human form, Naruto developed super-mini version of this and calls it BALL, meaning "tailed beast rasengan" was nothing more than a concept rather than an actual technique--Elveonora (talk) 23:59, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
- It was never stated to be unusable. In fact Naruto's ending came to an end when Killer Bee said "all you have to do now is use it on the field". He then gained the actual Tailed Beast Ball and made this thing completely obsolete. Again, just because it's obsolete doesn't mean it all of a sudden didn't exist.
- And Super Mini Tailed Beast Ball is a completely different technique, that technique as the name suggest is a Tailed Beast Ball that is incredibly small. This technique was a Rasengan composed of the black and white chakra.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:05, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, except there's no difference at all between rasengan from black and white chakra and TBB, oh, there's one, the former is unusable and the latter requires Kurama's head or full transformation to perform--Elveonora (talk) 01:38, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't pretend to care what Kishimoto wants to do with Naruto's methods. But you cannot say that the Mini Tailed Beast Ball is suddenly a Rasengan because you want it to be such.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:55, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
You misunderstand, a Rasengan with white and black chakras is no longer a Rasengan.--Elveonora (talk) 15:43, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- A Rasengan is a technique that whirls chakra together into a sphere. When Naruto did it with wind chakra, he made the Wind Release: Rasengan. When he did it with Tailed Beast chakra, he got Tailed Beast Rasengan. This is where the break between us is coming from; you cannot all of a sudden decide that what was called a Rasengan is suddenly not a Rasengan.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 17:51, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Minato observed TBB and created Rasengan by making a ball in his palm with Shape Transformation once you do the same rotating sphere thing but with black and white chakra, it's TBB even if you call it a hotdog--Elveonora (talk) 19:10, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm going to ignore that you are wrong here for a moment, and point this argument has just gotten circular.

IMO yes Chakra=Rasengan B/W Chakra=TBB BUT it all comes down to what Naruto wants to call it. Arguing about it being a Rasengan or TBB is pointless, if he called it Naruto style Chidori that's the name end of story. These are produced in different ways with SMTBB being possible because of skills Naruto didn't have at the time he was working on this, so I'd imagine Naruto wouldn't have made a new name if he considered them the same jutsu regardless of how little they differ. Arrancar79 (talk) 23:30, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, that's the point. He can call it anything he wants, but technically it isn't Rasengan--Elveonora (talk) 23:39, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- But does it really matter? Arrancar79 (talk) 23:44, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
To me, yes. I believe the two should be merged and a trivia note put that he called it a Rasengan once--Elveonora (talk) 23:59, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Except this move is a Rasengan made specifically because he couldn't yet do the tailed beast ball. Even if it was made off the principal of the tailed beast ball they are still two completely different things; one is an actual ninja technique, the other is a demon trait (and no tailed beast skills are not jutsu)-TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:54, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Not really, he was using Kurama's power to do this, thus it's also a tailed beast skill, it can't be done with his own chakra, that would result in an ordinary Rasengan--Elveonora (talk) 01:00, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- yes really because taking your argument to its logical conclusion, every other variant of the Rasengan should then be merged with Rasengan, then every variant of Clone Technique and so on. The point is this is a variant of he Rasengan, it's own technique. Kishimoto made it a variant of the Rasengan so a Variant it is.-TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:08, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Since this isn't a thing at all as I explained before, I think we should merge this with Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball as this is just a prototype name for that technique.--Elve [Mod] Talk Page|Contribs 16:26, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
- TheUltimate3 sums up my thoughts. It's a technique and treated as such. Just like how Wind Release: Rasengan exists and was used once and only serves as a basis for Naruto's Wind techniques using the Rasengan. No to a merger. --Sajuuk 16:28, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Except this is exactly the same technique just prototype.--Elve [Mod] Talk Page|Contribs 17:32, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Tailed Beast Rasengan isn't a prototype of Super-Mini Tailed Beast Ball. Tailed Beast Ball is, for both of them.--JOA2017:51, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Except this is exactly the same technique just prototype.--Elve [Mod] Talk Page|Contribs 17:32, July 3, 2015 (UTC)

GRAFTON, Ill. (AP) - The city of Grafton in southern Illinois is hoping to receive grant money to open a museum.
The Telegraph in Alton reports that Grafton has applied for a $650,000 Public Museum Capital Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The city had to pay a non-refundable $1,600 application fee.
The money would go to build a museum to house artifacts that are now at the city's visitor center.
Mayor Tom Thompson is a self-described history buff. He says having a museum would be a great addition to the city and offer another activity for families to share.
Grafton is just north of St. Louis, Mo., on the banks of the Mississippi River.

Local anesthesia for childbirth is most commonly given as an
injection that numbs the area around the vagina just before an episiotomy is
done. An episiotomy is an incision made in the tissue between the vagina and
anus (the perineum) just before the baby's head emerges. It is done to enlarge
the vaginal opening to accommodate the delivery of the baby or to help deliver
the baby more quickly.
Local anesthesia has no ill effects on the baby when given prior to
an episiotomy. It does not relieve uterine contraction pain.

If the super committee on deficit reduction continues to lock itself away in a congressional cloister, the public will have trouble understanding and accepting the difficult choices that the panel members must make to reach or exceed their assigned goal. And other members of Congress who are urging their colleagues on the committee to "go big" in their recommendations should do more than sit on the sidelines, says Robert L. Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition.
Bixby is calling on Democratic and Republican members of Congress to pair up for forums in their districts that would encourage civil discourse on the country's budget challenges. In the programs the lawmakers could present agreed-upon facts and engage each others' constituents about policy options.
Any number of formats could work. Bixby says a good example was set earlier this year by Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), who held joint forums in Richmond and Atlanta.
In the last six years, Concord has also brought together analysts and political leaders of diverse perspectives for its "Fiscal Wake-Up" and "Fiscal Solutions" tour programs.
"Audiences across the country have been very receptive," Bixby writes. "They often express the wish that their political leaders would talk about the issues with the same appreciation of each other's point of view. More importantly, audience members begin to accept the need for compromise."

A gentleman, having ordered a meal at a fine London restaurant, decides that he'd like some wine to accompany his meal; so he summons the sommelier and asks for a bottle of hock.
"Hock, sir?" asks the sommelier.
"Yes, hock, man. You know, hic, haec, hoc, hunc, hanc, hoc etc."
"Hmm ... very good, sir."
The food arrives, but without the wine, which perturbs the gentleman slightly as he's accustomed to a high quality of service. He begins to dine and at the next opportunity he beckons the sommelier again.
"Didn't I order a bottle of hock?"
"Yes sir, but then you declined it."
