Is Karin even a ninja? I mean, yes, she has chakra, but Orochimaru expiremented on her, so anything could have come from that. Also, she was found by Orochimaru when she was little, meaning she most likely had little to no ninja training. On top of that, she's never actually participated in any of Team Snake's/Team Hawk's battles, and she seems very unprofessional and too panicy in the mitst battle, refering to Manga chapter 412 page 4 when she dragged Sasuke by the hood. This all may be because of my grinding dislike for the bitch, so if anyone has solid proof she's a ninja, do tell... —This unsigned comment was made by Xnaminex (talk • contribs) on 00:45, 20 January 2009.
- She uses ninjutsu, performed plenty of missions for Orochimaru, and is apparently powerful enough to guard one of Orochimaru's hideouts. She might not be officially trained, but she definitely has the abilities of a ninja. --ShounenSuki 23:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Like I said, I probaly asked because I dislike her, but that seems fair enough. Xnaminex 18:58, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- She mostly excels at sensing chakra and healing and thats about it, and so that is why she never really participate in any of Team Snake`s battles except for healing those who were injured, but as far as i know that being able heal and sense chakra does mean you qualify to be a ninja.--Drago1274 04:37, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
oh and now we know she is of the uzumaki clan no wonder she has chakra to give —This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
Same Chakra as Sasuke
According to Kakashi's Nin-dogs, Karin has the same Chakra as Sasuke, noted on a page of the Manga I can't find right now, but will be putting up here as soon as I can find it again. —This unsigned comment was made by The World Platinum (talk • contribs) on 07:31, 8 March 2009.

Karin's History with Sasuke
Karin's 'history' with Sasuke should be expanded since the anime already has shown that their history involves her helping Sasuke track down escaped prisoners.
Spelling Error
Editing for this page is prohibited, but the latest sentence of Karin's plot summary states that "she is last seen panicing about her situation." Laying aside any arguments about the suitability of the sentence itself, panicking is spelt with a 'k'. Could someone please change it?Dartblaze (talk) 06:35, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Chapter 480
Should Deceased be added to her info box? DemonFoxsCloak (talk) 11:00, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- No proof that she is dead or even suggested to be dead.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 11:17, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- She was stabbed through the chest, madara and danzo think she is dead, and at the bottom of the page, there is a caption that says sasuke moves closer into darkness by stabbing danzo through karin. She's probably dead. DemonFoxsCloak (talk) 20:12, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- That doesn't mean dead. That just means he cares so little about his companions he is not above harming them to achieve his goal.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:04, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

OMG i can almost imagine that scene, it would be ironic, sakura healing karin(her love rival) just as she healed hinata(her other love rival, if she really loves naruto)184.108.40.206 (talk) 04:34, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- A few things. One, Madara and Danzō never directly stated that she was dead. Two, if the jutsu hit Danzō in the heart, then it is quite possible that Karin, who is both shorter and thinner than Danzō, was not hit in the heart, and thus still could, with treatment, live. Thirdly, it is possible that this was a genjutsu, designed to distract Danzō. Sauke, who has already managed to bring Danzō down under with a genjutsu, would not kill Karin if he thought that he had another, less self-hurting way.--Enoki911 (talk) 02:24, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Karin is well and truly alive and is currently being interrogated by Konoha, having being captured by Kakashi. --BlazeUchiha 15:39, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
More proof that Sasuke doesn't care about anyone
Does the end of 480 even have a point? Every character doesn't have to die :/--RobynRapter (talk) 16:42, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Assuming that Karin is, in fact, dead, it shows that Sasuke has become so heartless that he would kill his own teammates in cold blood, if it meant victory.--Enoki911 (talk) 02:25, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Karin dead?
Can we say that Karin's dead or do we need more information to confirm that?--Red Dog31 (talk) 00:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
- More information. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 00:30, February 1, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- She is dead. Or she is at least sealed as of chapter 481, I think, I better go reread it. --Gamebrain89 (talk) 04:48, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- On second read, its still inconclusive. her body does fall to the side after she is released, but then it just disappears, as its not in any of the other panels that I can see, and no one mentions anything.--Gamebrain89 (talk) 04:55, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- i hate sasuke now because he did that to her.22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:04, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- If u read and look closely.. Karin collapsed in the area when the ground is cracked. Danzo walked away from Karin as well. We cant comfirm she is dead/sealed cuz if u look, Danzo's fuuinjutsu thingy did not get the that spot where the ground is cracked, keeping Karin out of range.. I think/hope... 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:24, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
Seeing the chapter again, I realized her body was really out of range of Danzo's last sealing technique. However, there are some things that implies she is dead. When Karin is impaled Sasuke states she became a burden, in Sasuke's view she became a pawn that must be disposed, what suggests he wanted to kill her along with Danzo. In addiction, Sasuke and Madara departed without her unconscious body after Danzo's death, once more suggesting her death. However, if you think it is not enough until official confirmation, we could put at least a "Presumed Deceased" instead a "Incapacited", I think it sounds better since her status is unknown. Shadow Abyss (talk) 14:12, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
well, i analysed the manga and the spot where karin collapsed is completely fine, so there is a chance she is still alive, and remember, sakura will be going to that place after she had kicked sai's butt, so maybe shell heal her.Jazy1993 (talk) 15:36, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- @shadow abyss. She could be unconscious and thought to be dead. Why would madara and sasuke take her if sasuke purposely tried to kill her? Killer Bee would have killed sasuke if it wasnt because karin had let him bite her. But then again, why would sasuke want to dispose such a useful team member? he should have been used to saving the girl cuz of sakura.184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:25, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- 2 things:
- 1.- If Danzou couldnt survive that, much less Karin;which was on the front.
- 2.- Even if Karin didnt die, remember the final sphere Danzou used to Kill sasuke and madara, remember Karin was quite near...
- Re007wazhere 19:38 UTC
- Karin wasn't near, when she falls to the ground, it's a cracked ground just outside the bridge, Danzō then tries to flee towards the bridge. She was out of the range of his final technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:45, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, even though she has not died, Sasuke in fact disposed of Karin, despite being useful, because he departed without her. I think the reason behind it was to sacrifice an useful ally (a worthless burden after she turned into a hostage) for a "greater good" (his obsessed revenge), at least in Sasuke's viewpoint. He seems to becoming a little bit crazy for me, falling more into darkness, whatever. Shadow Abyss (talk) 20:12, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
All right fellow editors, look. This was a simple yes or no question, not an essay prompt. Should we put her as deceased? Yes or No?--Red Dog31 (talk) 04:01, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Personally I think she was sealed with Danzo. In chapter 481 page 3, Danzo and Karin is stabbed at the small tree, far away from the cracks made by the large tree Danzo made earlier. Karin falls and Danzo starts to move away from the tree and the cracks. Madara shows up in front of Danzo to claim Shisui's Sharingan. Danzo releases the seal. And then in page 17, the small tree is gone, and all that is left is the hole made by the seal. Jacce | Talk 08:02, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Or, we can leave it as it is now, until further information is given out. but if its a long time since it past then it would be appropriate to assume shes deceased. If someone was to die, i dont think it would be that big of a mystery, so there could be a chance that things turned out opposite of what we expected.126.96.36.199 (talk) 09:29, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Her body was gone after Daonzo did that crazy jutsu that sucked in and destroyed everything around him. She's gone and dead, mate. She was right near Danzo when he used it, and then... poof! Her body was gone. Delton Menace (talk) 14:23, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- There were two trees. One which Danzo used to change the direction of Susanoo's arrow, and one grew when he lost control of Hashirama's cells. The that was sealed was the first, Karin was tossed aside near the second. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:40, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- The situation is quite unclear at the moment. On page 3 of chapter 481, you can see Karin's body lying next to the big three as Danzō and Sasuke are walking away from it. That part of the bridge was not affected by Danzō's seal, so her body should still be there. In fact, even if her body was next to the smaller tree, it would still be there. The smaller tree was also unaffected by the seal.
- So right now, Karin seems to be in the same situation as Hinata was after she was stabbed by Pain. Hinata survived that, Karin might too. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 14:53, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- But there is a much stronger implication that Karin has died then there was with Hinata; I say we put "presumed dead" since right now, whether she is dead or not, she is supposed to be at least presumed dead by the readers. This much is clear from the little message thing at the end of Chp. 480. Paulthegreat103 (talk) 05:01, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
Wasn't simply Hinata brought back to life by Pain's sacrafice like everyone else? Then Karin is very, very dead. She will be dying of blood loss, and no one is there to help her. Plus, the manga clearly says that Karin has been sacraficed. Delton Menace (talk) 15:01, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Hinata was still quite alive after being stabbed by Pain. She was healed by Sakura. The manga telling us that Karin is sacrificed is not really relevant. That is simply flavour text, meant to set the mood and make things more dramatic. It can say Karin is sacrificed, even without her actually being dead.
- Karin has unique healing abilities, so she might be able to somehow heal herself. However, remember that Sakura is still on her way to the bridge. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 15:06, February 6, 2010 (UTC

about karins death..
i think it would be a good idea the presumed deceased...howver i thing kari's not dead..i dont think kishimoto would "dispose" of someone wihout even showing some flashbacks..at least..something about her...this is like we met her yesterday..became and interesting character...and died today.
Shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere in her article that she is sealed inside Danzō's body due to the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique? --Kracel (talk) 16:48, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- See two sections above, she wasn't sealed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:51, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Never mind, I was re-reading the chapter and carefully looking at their surroundings. Karin was near the two pillars. Danzō sealed away everything near the middle of the bridge, not affecting the pillars or the opposite end. Sorry for not reading it well. --Kracel (talk) 18:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
lots of minor characters die. Its not unusual its simply not something some readers want. Sauske never much cared for Females who showed him affections since he wanted revenge. Sakura is a clear example of that. However then she was simple knocked out. Karin got the brutal and darker example proving sauske has changed.--220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:11, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
I know we can't put it up yet because it is not friday well at least where i am it takes at least a half an hour, but Karin is still not dead yet. Good as dead since Sasuke seems intent to finish the job and sakura's intent to join sasuke would "maybe negate the idea of her saving karin" things in quote is only a guess because we don't know if sakura will get in the way or not.Darthwin (talk) 04:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
Recent Revelations
I would like to point a few things about about the flashback we saw of Karin in the Forest of Death.
As we all know, she was wearing a Kusagakure forehead protector. However, if you think about it, this does not mean she was a Kusa-nin. Orochimaru and the Sound Four all infiltrated the chūnin exams as Kusa-nin, all wearing Kusagakure forehead protectors. The same is most likely true of Karin.
Assuming Karin was simply infiltrating for Orochimaru would also fit in with the backstory we were given of her in the third Databook: she was found in a small village when she was still very young. Her being a Kusa-nin would clash with this.
This would also mean she was not a genin; no Oto-nin have ever had official ranks, not even those participating in the chūnin exams. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 13:56, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok then. ==>Doesn't care.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:58, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

- Oh, ^^;... yeah she was found during war. But what war could that be? She's 16. What war was taken place in the 10 - 13 years? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:48, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

- Not to sound stupid but what does that mean. KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:58, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- ShounenSuki started this arguement saying its likely that Karin was not a Kusa-nin, citing Orochimaru Kusa infiltration and all that jazz. What would have made that argument clinch, was that there was no war in recent years. Because of his "we don't know" comment, there is enough reasonable doubt that she could have been a Kusa-nin.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:18, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
- And if she is a Kusa nin but the war took place several months or years after the Chunin Exams? KiumaruHamachi (talk) 15:20, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- My point still stands, despite my apparent contradiction. The databook once again helps me out:
- "Once, in a village obliterated by war, there was a single girl who survived, alone and unharmed. She said: 'I realised there were a lot of people coming here.' After this, Orochimaru gave Karin the opportunity to come to the village of Otogakure..." (「かつて戦火に消えた村に、唯一人、無傷で生存した少女がいた。彼女は言った。『沢山の人が、迫ってくるのが分かった』と。これが、大蛇丸が香燐を音隠れの里に招いたきっかけである...。」)
- This is from Karin's article in the Third Databook. The village she was from is no more, while Kusagakure still stands. In fact, Kishimoto-sensei even uses the word mura (村) to describe her hometown. Shinobi villages are always called sato (里). She was taken in by Orochimaru right after her village was destroyed. There is no possibility for her to have been a Kusa-nin and enter the chūnin exams as one. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 16:05, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

- She's neither delusional nor stupid, just a victim of Kishimoto-sensei's terrible ability to characterise women and Japanese society's stringent gender roles.
- Any way, I hope I was able to make clear that Karin couldn't have been an actual Kusa-nin, or at least that it is highly unlikely. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 16:16, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, Shonen, you made everything clearer. But one thing that I don't know: what do you mean by Japanese Stringent Gender roles? KiumaruHamachi (talk) 16:17, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- Japanese society has extremely stringent gender roles. It is the norm for a woman to quit her job and start taking care of the household after she gets married. This regardless of her education and job. In fact, most women only try to get a good job in order to meet a man at work that also has a similarly good job.
- Women are also thought of as weaker and in some ways inferior to men. They are certainly considered more emotional. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 16:37, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
The weaker part, I don't believe. But the emotional part, I believe that much. Thanks again Shonen. KiumaruHamachi (talk) 16:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

it doesn't, i just had number of questions. KiumaruHamachi (talk) 16:51, February 12, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
On a semi-related note, I took the time to look back at the Chunin Exam arc in the manga. Only six Genin from Kusa took part in the exam, which includes Orochimaru and his two teammate imposters. In addition to those three, I counted only two other shinobi from Kusagakure, who I can only assume to be Karin's teammates (possibly coincidental, I'm sure Kishi didn't plan that far ahead). It's not entirely impossible that all six Kusa nin were affiliated with Orochimaru; with such a small number of them in the first place, it is easy to imagine the entire team either being infiltrated or replaced. As far as Karin actually being a Kusa-nin, if I'm not mistaken, the Third Great Shinobi War took place about 16-17 years before the current story, since Kakashi was 13 in Gaiden. I don't believe that it was ever stated that Kakashi Gaiden depicted the end of the war - only the turning point. It's perfectly possible that it continued for another few years, giving enough time for Karin to be born and grow into a "little girl." And of course, for her village to be destroyed. However, that just increases the likelihood that she wasn't a real Kusa-nin. Mohrpheus (talk) 20:49, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't it say that Itachi was around four when the war finally ended? I don't have the volume to confirm for me right now but I think the exact wording was 'By the age of four he'd seen many deaths because of war'. But that's just a possible timeline. As for Karin, Kabuto was a spy in Konoha for years. Couldn't Karin have been a Spy in Kusa? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:23, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, this is gonna take some work. First of all, we never clearly see her headband, she is assumed to be a Kusa ninja, but for all we actually can confirm she's from some smaller nation that as Akatsuki and Nagato tended to imply suffer from raging wars all the time, which could also apply to Kusa anyway. While I am personally of the opinion that she was a Kusa ninja, there are a lot of questions to be asked. For one, what age was Karin when her village was attacked? You can say she was very young, but what is that? Anywhere between 4 and 10? And with the lacking rigidity on ninja age groups she could've been a Kusa ninja before Orochimaru found her. On that same note, assuming every Kusa ninja in the Chuunin exams was a spy, that seems to be pretty poor planning on Orochimaru's part as his team stole the faces of three of them while Karin and presumably two other imposters were left walking about as themselves. I think the most explanation is that she was probably a spy within Kusa like Kabuto was within Konoha and after the chuunin exams probably abandoned this role for the Eastern Base. Just a theory though. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 18:05, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Karin's insight on Naruto's chakra
The article here clearly labels karin's finding naruto's "evil chakra" as belonging to the nine-tailed fox. However after reading the manga I could find no evidence to support this directly. Couldn't it be Itachi's? I know Itachi's intentions were good, but he's killed hundreds of Uchiha among other people so we can't rule him out. Also, Naruto was just thinking about itachi's words and power two chapters ago. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 10:17, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- It could be a number of things really. It's most likely the Nine-Tails, as that thing is pure evil. It could be Itachi, but Itachi was never referred to has having evil chakra.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:19, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- i was confused too, i completely forgot about the nine tails when i was reading it, at first i thought it was the power itachi gave to him. i thought it made sense because itachi and sasuke are brothers, and had similar chakra. and also, she already sensed he had weird chakra before that. so maybe it is itachi. And seeing as how the nine tails is a big part of him, when she noticed the evil chakra it seemed like she had to look closer and deeper to see it. --Shelldone (talk) 10:45, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- I also think that the inner chakra from naruto was Itachi's because Karin knows that Naruto is a host and in him is the nine tails.So she werent so suprised. Its possible..?.

But nobody really knows if Itachi's chakra is evil or in the least menacing. No, I think this a reference to the 9 tails' chakra. She didn't have to probe very deep. She felt his 'warm and sunny' chakra and then sensed something darker hidden in him. She didn't have to actually put any effort into it. So, Wikizens, I'm pretty sure it's the 9 tails' chakra. Also remember that Naruto doesn't use the 9 tails chakra anymore. So it might have receded a bit. This is in response to Shelldone's theory. BlazeUchiha 15:46, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
Karin knowing about Naruto...
On Karin's page it says;
"As she leaves with them, she makes a special note of Naruto's character apparently hearing of him before."
Chapter 371 Page 3 Feels multiple chakra's that are all the same. (Naruto's shadow clones)
Chapter 371 Page 4-5 Sasuke runs into one of Naruto's clones, Karin even seeing what Naruto looks like.
Chapter 371 Page 6 Sasuke tells Karin that it was Naruto, and that he never gives up.
If Karin didn't know about Naruto before this happened, this is where she learned of his existence, from Sasuke.
I never posted here before so I don't really know how you're suppose to end a post. Sorry if I did it wrong.--22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:57, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Also on chapter 404, page 15, it's directly implied in front of Karin that Naruto is the nine-tailed fox jinchuriki. But at the time she probably didn't care. Or perhaps she'll remember through a flashback later on.184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:42, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
Capable Fighter?
One thing I realized from this wiki is its unrealistic tolerance on female character weaknesses.
Karin is no where near a capable fighter, as she didn't even have the brains to throw a Kunai at Danzo when Sasuke was struggling and instead just charged at him and got maneuvered by a simple kick. Even the pre-shipuden Sakura, who's fighting skills were considered below average, could throw a Kunai and use a Substitution Jutsu at a dire moment like this.
She didn't "avoid" the battles, as she simply can't fight, even in all of the manga, she would often go "Eek" over falling rocks, while any "capable" fighter could dodge them by jumping without freaking out. With that said, her so called "strength" that pushed her comrades out of danger is almost laughable. We often see many ninjas saving other ninja comrades so fast, that it almost looks as if they were teleporting. Karin not only couldn't do that, she didn't even have enough balance to push them away without falling.
Even Karin herself called herself a "Weak Girl" when interrogated. I find it sexist categorizing someone with these abilities as a "capable fighter" simply because that person is female. She is a useful support character, but no where near a capable fighter, or a fighter at all.
In regards to the above, She's a ninja, even at their weakest ninja far outstrip normal people in Naruto. And wile not displayed as such, she was seemingly responcible for killing several prisoners in the base she was left to guard! So she obviously had Orochimaru's confidence. On top of this, her primary combat abilities don't revolve around physical ability, she's a sensor with healing power, so while not a competant physical combatent, her other abilities are formidable and her actual power in a fight has yet to be explored. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 17:53, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
And she did take out a prisoner, probably a ninja prisoner, with taijutsu pretty easily when first introduced. She's little compared to her comrades in direct ability, but she's still probably around chunin level, the rest of Taka are jonin-level combat focused beasts after all. Her calling herself a 'weak girl' was just playing for sympathy. ZeroSD (talk) 21:35, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

I think he was just pointing out that Karin was 12 at the time. For some reason- and, isn't there a discussion for this a couple panels up? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 20:28, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Is Karin an Uzumaki?
Given what Madara said about Nagato in chapter 510 about the Uzumaki clan having red hair could Karin be a lost member of the clan and could Orochimaru of been experimenting on her because of the the Uzumaki Clan's special Chakra (PrimarchRadiz (talk) 13:30, October 12, 2010 (UTC))
- Highly unlikely. Although she does have red hair, her chakra's special properties are unseen in any Uzumaki member, and in return she doesn't have any of the Uzumaki clan's specialities like 'tons of chakra' or 'good at seals'. ZeroSD (talk) 13:45, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not implying anything by saying this, but I thought this was relevant to the discussion. Something I noticed with Karin is that if the other side of her hair wasn't messy, she would kind of look like Naruto's mother, not that she is though, just she has the same hair. She probably wasn't given a last name for reason. Masashi Kishimoto is probably planning on keeping her last name a secret until he chooses to reveal it. Also why was she so interested in Naruto? Like I said, I'm not implying anything. We can't know for sure until we get more information.--Darth Malice the Destroyer (talk) 20:50, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Sensing in Naruto
I would like to point out that Karin already knew at this point that Naruto was the nine tails host as she was present when madara mentioned it, and she knew naruto looked like. With Itachi's power being the only other "evil" chakra inside naruto that she didn't previously know about. SimAnt 20:02, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

missing nin
Any data, if it is clearly stated (manga, animé, other "official" source), if she's a missing-nin or not? I think, it'd be an educated guess, because I don't think, that the Kusa would find it nice, when one of their sensors runs of and joins snake-ass, but I'm not sure, if it is enough.--Boris Baran (talk) 23:29, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
- It's never been stated that she's a missing-nin because she most likely is not, as she's most likely not from Kusagakure. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 00:03, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Uzumaki vs Unique powers
Recently, Kabuto stated that both Karin is an Uzumaki and that she has astonishing recovery powers. I personally see this as him saying all Uzumakis have this power. Other people feel that this is only an ability that Karin has. Can someone please give a third opinion? Also, I'm not trying to get into an editing war. Steveo920, 11:02, March 21, 2012,
- We know there is special stuff about the Uzumaki clan and their chakra that gives them nice long lives and makes them good at sealing stuff. Her particular healing ability does however appear unique as no other Uzumaki has shown the ability to heal any wound by letting people suck on their chakra.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 15:39, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
Also Naruto has the ability to heel really fast although most people attribute that to the nine tails within him, could it possibly be that this ability of his is due to his Uzumaki blood? —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
- Naruto's healing factor was linked to Kurama by Jiraiya, Kakashi, Kabuto and Fukasaku. 3 of 4 of them know of Naruto's parentage, yet still attributed it to Kurama protecting Naruto. Skitts (talk) 01:01, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
But who is to say he has no regenerative powers on his own ? They at least live long and are able to survive things others not. So there's this vitality,longevity,durability stuff and regeneration just goes with that. --Elveonora (talk) 01:16, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly. Many seem to be forgetting that Oro had sealed off Naruto's access to Kurama's chakra during the Chuunin Exam, yet his accelerated healing was still in place. Considering he didn't have access to Kurama's chakra at this time, it's possible this shows some of Naruto's healing ability comes from his own Uzumaki heritage. Kakashi's comment(when Naruto used Hinata medicinal creme/ointment) is misinformed as he was even aware of Oro sealing Naruto's access to Kurama's chakra. -Alexdhamp (talk) 02:58, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
True Birth Village
Isn't it safe to assume the village she was found in was Uzushiogakure? She was said to have lived in a village that was burnt down during war, only Uzushio comes to mind. It also seems more likely because she's an Uzumaki. Plus, most of Orochimaru's subordinates that took part in the Chunin Exams disguised themselves as Kusagakure shinobi which includes himself, disguised as Shiore. Her affiliation with Kusa during the exams was most likely a cover up. 2chikage (talk) 22:24, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that Kusagakure might be a cover-up but until there is not any evidence that supports this theory. Although Uzushio was destroyed several years before the birth of Karin, so this could be discarded. Also note that it was a Shinobi World War, many villages had to be destroyed. It could come from Amegakure, like Nagato, cause was also seriously destroyed in the war. We should leave it just like it's now. Leodix (議論 | 貢献) 22:49, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
- It said she was the only survivor. People fled from Uzushiogakure hence they keep popping up. I also doubt a village with long-lived people was anything "small". It was more than likely a cover story but the possibility still exists that Karin had never seen Uzushiogakure due to the age gap.--Cerez365™ 23:05, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
Then should the Kusa cover up be noted in her article? Or do you still believe there isn't enough evidence? 2chikage (talk) 23:58, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
Y'all do realize that Uzushiogakura wasn't even around in Karin's lifetime right? Skitts (talk) 00:59, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
First of all, it's Uzushiogakure. Second of all, Leodix and Cerez have already stated above.. 2chikage (talk) 01:02, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

No visit to a Cuban bakery is complete without sampling the croquetas – freshly made and sprinkled with lime juice if possible. A deep fried blend of béchamel sauce and ham, chicken or salt cod, these savory treats hold their own among the teeming trays of glazed guava pastries, sugary cakes, and airy meringues that fill the glass cases. Tucked into a pressed Cubano for lunch, the added crunch transforms the classic sandwich into an unforgettable croqueta preparada.
Made at home, all kinds of leftovers and stewed dishes can be added to the blank-slate of white sauce before it's scooped, rolled and breaded. A little cumbersome at first, they can be prepped well ahead of time then fried just before serving. There are no limits to what goes into a good croqueta but here are a few guidelines to get started.
Choose your filling. Croquetas can be made with cooked ham, roast pork, beef, chicken, fish or vegetables that have been shredded or processed to form a smooth paste. Additional fillings include: cheese, hard boiled eggs, rice, sautéed onions or mushrooms.
To make the sauce, melt the butter, oil or combination of both, in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and cook until golden but not browned, about 2-3 minutes.
Heat the milk to a gentle simmer but do not let it boil. Gradually stir the hot milk into the cooked flour, whisking constantly until smooth. Continue to stir until the sauce has thickened and the whisk leaves trace marks on the surface, about 5 minutes. The consistency is a matter of preference. A looser sauce will have a creamier texture, but will take longer to set. For a heavier blend, cook until the sauce pulls away from the sides of the pot before adding the desired fillings.
Season the béchamel sauce with salt, pepper, nutmeg, pimentón or cayenne pepper. Remove from the heat and add the filling, mixing until well combined. Bring to room temperature. Pour the mixture in a shallow bowl or lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least one hour.
Lay out flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs (or cracker meal) in separate mixing bowls. Scoop out one heaping tablespoon of the béchamel mixture and roll in the flour to coat, shaking off the excess flour. Roll into the desired shape then dip into the egg mixture with a fork or slotted spoon, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the bread crumbs until well coated.
The croquetas should be completely coated so the filling doesn't leak when cooked. If needed, dip in the egg followed by the bread crumbs a second time. Transfer to a lined tray or baking dish, and refrigerate until ready to use. At this point they can be frozen and saved for later use.
Add about 3″ of oil to a large, deep pot. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 365°F. Working in batches so that they are not crowded, carefully add the croquetas. Gently turn until brown on all sides, about 2 minutes. Bring the oil back up to the correct temperature in between batches.
Carefully remove the croquetas with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towels or paper bags to absorb the excess oil.
Serve immediately as an appetizer with dipping sauce or light lunch with sharp mustard, pickles and crackers.
Recipe: Croquetas de Jamón y Queso
Makes 20 to 24 croquetas
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour
Ease of preparation: easy
8 ounces smoked ham, excess fat or rind trimmed, cubed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup shallots, minced
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup grated Gruyere or Emmental cheese
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Pinch of pimenton (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups dried breadcrumbs (or cracker meal), finely ground
Sunflower oil, for deep frying
Combine ham and mustard in a food processor and pulse until it forms a smooth paste.
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and saute until translucent. Add 2 tablespoons of the flour and cook, stirring constantly until well blended but not browned, about 2 minutes. In the meantime, gently heat the milk to a gentle simmer but do not let it boil. Gradually stir the milk in to the saucepan, whisking constantly to eliminate clumps. Stir until the sauce has thickened and the whisk leaves trace marks in the surface, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and pimenton. Remove from heat. Add the pureed ham and mix until well combined.
Bring to room temperature. Pour the mixture in a shallow bowl or lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
Lay out the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate mixing bowls. Scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of the bechamel mixture and roll each croqueta in the flour to coat, shaking off the excess flour. Dip into the egg mixture with a fork or slotted spoon, allowing excess to drip off, and then roll in breadcrumbs. They should be well coated so the filling doesn't leak when cooked.
Add about 3-inches of oil to a large, deep pot. Heat over medium-high heat to 365 degrees F. Working in batches, carefully add the croquetas a few at a time. Do not crowd them or the temperature of the oil will drop. Gently turn until brown on all sides, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or re-purposed grocery paper bags. Bring the oil back up to the correct temperature in between batches. Serve immediately.

David Goldman Battled Governments to Get His Son Back!
What would you do if your child was swept away to a foreign country?
-Brittany Roshelle Davis
You'd think the term Parent would be universal. When it comes to parents that are native to different countries, it isn't the case. David Goldman's son was abducted by his wife and taken to Brazil, her native country, when their son was just four-years-old. David Goldman was almost certain he would never see son again. In fact, it would be another 5 agonizing years later before his son was returned home to him. David's here to spread the word on international child abduction for parents everywhere and share his story.
What was it like holding your infant son, Sean, on the day he was born?
It was truly the most beautiful experience I ever had. Creating life with someone who I deeply loved made it that much more special. I was the luckiest guy in the world. I loved every moment.
You had it all: a loving wife and a beautiful son. But then, your life changed forever. Your wife, Bruna, called you from a "family vacation" in Brazil. She told you the marriage was now over and she was keeping Sean with her in Brazil. What was that phone call like?
In the blink of an eye, my world was shattered. I was shocked, devastated, and in disbelief. How the person whom I loved and was still married to could act and behave in such a calculating and cold manner was incomprehensible. Not only were her actions extremely cruel to me and the rest of Sean's family, it was the most cruel and selfish act a parent can do to a child.
You talked to her on the phone for weeks, realizing she would never send Sean back despite your rights as a parent. In effect, she kidnapped your son. What options did you have at this point?
Read Why Anti-Veggie Commercials Annoy Me
After the gravity of the situation sunk in, I focused on my son. How and what could I do for us to be together? I began to seek legal representation, while trying not to completely break down mentally and emotionally. My world had been turned upside down in a two-minute phone call from thousands of miles away.
The 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction states a child abducted by a parent must be returned within 6 weeks. However, the 6 weeks came and went. The Brazilian courts refused to uphold their treaty obligations. How were they allowed to do this?
I was up against very powerful and clever lawyers that were able to manipulate the Brazilian judicial system by filing endless motions and appeals. Also, many of the judges viewed it as a custody case, ignoring The Hague Treaty law. Even those judges in Brazil who acknowledged that my son was held illegally under Treaty law and the American court orders that sought the immediate return of Sean to New Jersey, claimed that because of all the litigation set in place by the abductors, it took them too long to rule on our case and as a result, Sean was settled in Brazil – in effect supporting a kidnapping and illegal retention of a child. It was absurd!
You received a second shock when you learned that not only did your wife remarry a lawyer named Paulo Lins e Silva, she conceived a second child, and died in childbirth. How did this make you feel?
If possible, there was an even greater sense of urgency to be with my child after his mother's tragic death. He was ripped away from his father and a loving, stable environment when he was just four years old. In his mind, he lost his dad. Now, his mother was gone. He needed me more than ever. He needed the love and comfort that only a parent can give to their child.

The Dinosaur Stampede at Lark Quarry Conservation Park, where over 3,300 dinosaur tracks mark the site of the only known dinosaur stampede on the planet. In a remarkable piece of scientific detective work, scientists from the Queensland Museum have pieced together a dramatic tale of hunter and hunted from the footprints left behind.
About 95 million years ago a herd of over 300 dinosaurs, some as small as chickens (called Coelursaurs) and some about the size of an emus (called Ornithopods) were drinking on the muddy shore of a lake. The herd panicked and started a mad dash to escape when a large meat-eating dinosaur appeared close by.
The stampede was recorded in the mud, preserved by the natural environment, and immortalised in stone. Preserved inside a modern building, this amazing Dinosaur Stampede is accessible to everyone at Lark Quarry Conservation Park. The starkly beautiful red earth and spinifex-studded landscape is a dramatic contrast to the moist green world that existed at the time of the dinosaurs.

First off, let me just say THIS SITE IS AWESOME. I am a new member and I have fell in love.
Anyway, I stumbled across this site doing a search for blue prints to build my own charcole grill. I have fond memories of my dad's homemade grills and I want to give it a go.
I have selected an empty propain tank as my pit, but I need direction on the stack, dampers, vents, etc. etc.
All suggestions and links will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks all!

• tumid •
Pronunciation: tyu-mid • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Swollen, bulging out, bloated; extended tightly or beyond the natural state. 2. Bombastic, excessively ornate (speech or language).
Notes: Tumid has an interesting first cousin, tumescent, which means "in the process of swelling" or "somewhat tumid." The noun is tumidity and the adverb, tumidly. This adjective is often confused with turgid, a near synonym. Both mean pretty much the same thing though turgid might be used more frequently in reference to a pretentious writing or speaking style ('turgid prose') than tumid, which more often refers to swollenness.
In Play: Anything bulging from internal pressure may be described by today's Good Word: "Do Sandy Eggo's hips seem a bit tumid to you? Has she fallen off the South Beach diet"? (Meow!) Don't underestimate the playfulness of this word, though; here is a way to fly both ways with it: "Since graduating from Harvard Leticia's head has become as tumid as her writing style."
Word History: No, this word is unrelated to tummy regardless of the semantic similarities. Rather, it comes via French from Latin tumidus "swollen", from the verb tumere "to swell." The same Proto-Indo-European root came to English as the word for the swollen finger, thumb. (PIE [t] becomes [th] in Germanic languages.) Without the suffix -m, we find it in the English word thigh. It picked up several more suffixes in the Slavic languages, turning up in Russian as the fat milk, tvarog "curds". (I will resist the temptation to lapse into tumid prose thanking Dr. Lew Jury for suggesting today's Good Word, but we are quite grateful.)

text: This is part of a letter my daughter received while searching for information on Walter... Weather conditions were bitterly cold and icy which may have contributed to the crash. The aircraft was serial number 42-3544 Stars and Stripes with the target assigned as Bordeaux, France. After taking off at 0725 hours, the plane climbed to about 200 feet then a wing dropped and it struck the ground at Brook Farm, Badwell Ash in Suffolk. It was carrying 16 M31 bombs, two exploded and the rest were scattered over an area of approximately 300-400 yards along with the wreckage. The only survivor, tail gunner, S/Sgt Burnell T Hamilton was seriously injured and the following crew members perished. Pilot: Flight Officer William H Morris; Co-pilot 2/Lt Denis J Ziebarth; Navigator, 2/Lt Richard S Proctor; Bombardier, 2/Lt Robert M Totaro; Engineer, S/Sgt Russell A Stevens; Radio Operator, Sgt Chester A Rober Jr; Ball Turret Gunner, Sgt Walter A Stuebgen; Waist Gunner, Sgt Stanley Lowitz. I note that your grandfather is still buried in the US Military Cemetery over here at Madingley (Grave E-0-53) and wonder if you would like me to place some flowers there on your behalf when next I visit?

A bit confused here ( actually a common occurrence !); on craigslist there is a listing for a Kamado style grill, the picture depicts what look like a BGE shape, but color is not BGE. I contacted the seller and she said it is a Char Griller King Griller. The Char Griller site shows a King Griller as a dou style. Which is it?
Not a bad price except will be a day trip to drive to and from where it currently is located.

Rooting against America: Beck, other conservatives cheer elimination of Chicago's Olympic bid
Research ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
Conservative media figures have celebrated the International Olympic Committee's elimination of Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics and used the event to bash President Obama, who flew to Copenhagen to lobby IOC members on behalf of Chicago's bid. For instance, Glenn Beck called the news that Chicago's bid had failed "so sweet," Rush Limbaugh declared himself "happy" and "gleeful" with the results, and Matt Drudge proclaimed: "World rejects Obama."
Conservative media celebrate Chicago's elimination, bash Obama
Beck: "Oh, it's so sweet" that Chicago's bid failed; "savor this moment." On his radio program, Beck said: "Do not go anywhere. Don't -- do not look at the screen. Don't -- don't go to any other radio stations. Nothing. You don't want to hear this news -- I mean, please, please let me break this news to you. Oh, it's so sweet." After a commercial break, Beck's producer stated that "the first round of voting is up for the Olympic games, and the first city" -- at which point Beck interrupted, saying, "Wait! Wait for it! Wait for it. Enjoy this -- savor this moment." The producer continued, "And the first city to be eliminated is Chicago." Beck later asked his producer if Chicago's elimination was proof that Obama had "failed." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Show, 10/2/09]
Lou Dobbs: "On today's broadcast, the IOC just says 'no' to Chicago! As the Drudge Report says 'The Ego Has Landed.' " From the "Today on the Radio" section of LouDobbs.com:
Breitbart website: "It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, 'Not only no, but Hell No.' " From a post by Publius -- the pseudonym of the "Editorial Panel" of the Andrew Breitbart-published website BigGovernment.com -- headlined, "Chicago Drops From 'Second City' to Fourth City":
So, not only did Chicago lose out in its bid for the Olympics, it lost in the FIRST ROUND. It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, "Not only no, but Hell No."
Limbaugh: For those "upset that I sound gleeful -- I am. I don't deny it. I'm happy." On his radio program, Limbaugh stated: "Folks, the ego has landed. The world has rejected Obama. Chicago, the least number of votes, first elimination in the round of voting for the Olympics in 2016. ... When you stop to think about it, folks, doesn't it make sense? Our president, Barack Hussein Obama -- mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama mmm, mmm, mmm -- had been running around the world for nine months telling everybody how much our country sucks. He's been running around the world apologizing for the United States of America. Why would anybody award the Olympics to such a crappy place as the United States of America?" Later in the program, after reading a series of headlines about Chicago's elimination, Limbaugh explained why he is "gleeful" and "happy" about the failure of its Olympic bid:
LIMBAUGH: For those of you on the other side of the aisle listening in who are upset that I sound gleeful -- I am. I don't deny it. I'm happy. Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me. I stand by -- I don't want Obamacare to succeed. I want national health care, socialized medicine, to fail. I want cap and trade -- a national carbon tax emissions policy based on a hoax -- I want that to fail. I do not want the government owning car companies. I don't want the government running banks. I don't want the government in charge of loans. I don't want any of it. I want all of that to fail.
And for those things to fail, I'm sorry to say, our president must fail, because they're his ideas. It is the ideas I want to fail, but the architect of those ideals must, by the same sense of logic, also fail at the same time the ideas do. So anything that weakens and helps people to see the real Obama is a step forward. Gotta say it.
Drudge: "The ego has landed. World rejects Obama: Chicago out in first round." From the Drudge Report:
RedState.com's Erickson: "World rejects Barack Obama. ... Hahahahaha." From RedState.com managing editor Erick Erickson's post, headlined, "BREAKING: World Rejects Barack Obama. No Chicago Olympics; Hey Rush, apparently the rest of the world wants Obama to fail too":
I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone.
I thought if we whored ourselves out to our enemies, great things would happen.
Apparently not.
So Obama's pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him.
Weekly Standard blog post reportedly said "[c]heers erupt[ed] at" magazine in response to Chicago losing bid. Think Progress' Matt Corley reported that a post by Weekly Standard blogger John McCormack originally stated that when the news came that Chicago's bid had been eliminated, "[c]heers erupt[ed] at WEEKLY STANDARD world headquarters." From Corley's blog post:
Soon after news broke that the International Olympic Committee had rejected Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympics, which President Obama had personally lobbied for, Weekly Standard blogger John McCormack published a celebratory post on the magazine's blog, titled "Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!." McCormack wrote that "Cheers erupt at WEEKLY STANDARD world headquarters":
But the post has now been changed. The reference to cheers have been removed and the title has been shortened to a non-exclamatory "Chicago Loses." The current post neither acknowledges nor explains the changes that were made.
HotAir's Allahpundit to Obama: "You're a bigger sucker than I thought, champ." Blogger Allahpundit stated on HotAir.com: "It's only right that I eat crap here for having insisted that this was a done deal and that The One wouldn't dare risk his political capital on a completely needless humiliation. You're a bigger sucker than I thought, champ."
Malkin: "Goodbye, 'Yes We Can.' Hello, 'No, You Can't.' " Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin wrote: "Goodbye, 'Yes We Can.' Hello, 'No, You Can't.' Like Icarus, President Obama's giddy ego flight has ended with melted wax and fallen wings. This is a big win and a massive relief for taxpayers. But Chicago cronies are not going to take this well. Gird your loins."

Here with a nub question: I've been trying to read and understand what baseband is and when it's needed to preserve it (and what that actually does for you). So far I get that it's to do with the providers (AT&T/Verizon & soon Sprint), that (I think) it's only needed if your using an iPhone on a different carrier than AT&T/Verizon or soon Sprint (therefore you'd have a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone), and that preserving your baseband 's only purpose is to allow a previous unlock to continue to work. Please feel free to shed some light or point me in the direction of a detailed post/article. Thanks
old news is old. plus as z6joker9 mentioned, a staff member here already posted this as news there has also been a thread on macrumors for 3 days now with people tracking their shipments My iPhone 4S has shipped!! - MacRumors Forums
Ordered 2 just minutes apart about 4 hours after the presale was scheduled to begin. It shows one has shipped but the other is showing "backordered" and "pending shipment". I hope they both arrive Friday!

Xiaomi Announces the MI3 - Tegra 4 and MSM8974AB insideby Brian Klug on 9/5/2013 2:58 AM EST

dabotsonline - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkWhy is there not FD-LTE on the MSM8974AB variant and no TD-LTE on the Tegra 4/i500 one? Reply
duploxxx - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkA pitty they moved away from there rounding in the Mi2s, i like that design a lot for sure with the 4.3 specs and sizing.
I have the mi2s phone for half a year now and it is awesome. whenever you see a high-end expensive commercial phone you can just lauch with it :). Reply
SunLord - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI'd assume that since no one in china has a network based on FD-LTE it least I've never heard of one they'd have no reason to include it. As for TD-LTE who knows maybe they set the price point and then built the phone and adding LTE would've pushed it over 1999 Yuan it's also possible TD-LTE on Tegra 4 plus i500 isn't fully certified yet I know Nvidia said only Cat-3 FD-LTE would be ready for launch back in January but I've not seen any reports of TD-LTE being ready. Reply
name99 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkUhh --- because these are MID-RANGE devices, not PREMIUM devices?
Look at the damn prices. Reply
max1001 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkWait? How is this not a premium device?
A S800 5 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display, a 13MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB to 64GB of storage, a 3050mAh battery, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and GLONASS. It measures 5.7″ x 2.9″ x 0.32″ and weighs 5.1 ounces. Reply
max1001 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkChina doesn't have LTE and Xiaomi has stated plenty of time that currently, they are only focus on China market. So why would they add LTE which would increase the BOM. Reply
weiln12 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkOK, so how do I get this in the US.
Second, although my Chinese is lacking it looks like the website shows that the camera can shoot in RAW format?! Seriously?! Reply
martin13 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkyou are right. it supports RAW Reply
chavv - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkmany devices can shoot in raw, tho its rarely exposed.
For example all Mediatek devices can shoot in raw format - forced by a tool called MobileUncleTools. Xperia C and many lenovo phones use MTK chipsets Reply
madmilk - Monday, September 09, 2013 - linkYou can try Aliexpress or other import shops, but there will be a large markup (+50% at the least). If you can find someone who knows Chinese, maybe you can persuade someone on Taobao to ship to you.
If the main factor for you is price, just buy a Nexus 5 when it comes out. You'll actually get a US warranty, properly-translated software and LTE. Reply
tonyking - Wednesday, October 09, 2013 - linkyou can order it on ebay or some china online store as xiaomi world.i had order the 2s on it Reply
retrospooty - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI like the tapered edges "ala-Nokia" designs, but hate the giant bezel "ala-Nokia" aspect. Reply

badchris - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkAccording to sources from supply chain,the Xiaomi MI3 Tegra 4 ver is using baseband chip from Spreadtrum,since NVIDIA's Grey and Icera i500 haven't passed any mobile carrier's validation yet. Reply
TechnoSavvy - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkWhich one performs better 8974AB..or the Tegra 4
Will it be available in India ?
When and at What price? Reply
name99 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIt's interesting that they are trying very hard to copy Apple (all the way to the iOS7 icons in their skinning) but they don't seem to "get" what Apple is really about.
No way in hell Apple would have created the slides above, busy, cluttered, full of tech jargon. Same for their web site which has the gorgeous high quality photos of Apple, pasted onto a cluttered and uninspiring background.
The question is what's the long term plan here? Is the goal to simply out-Samsung Samsung --- be the best copier of Apple products in China? Or is there actually a higher ambition, to be become not simply a copier of Apple, but a legit Chinese equivalent of Apple, the one Chinese company that charges more for design because they actually DELIVER?
I'd say things aren't looking good for the second theory right now. But, it's early days. Maybe by this time next year they'll have hired some DESIGNERS rather than UI cloners? For the larger story here, the more interesting story, I think the place to look is not in the phones and other high profile devices but at the more mundane stuff like the marketing slides, the ads, the web page, and see what sort of sensibility (and unity or lack thereof) is driving them. Reply
etamin - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkIf you actually used MIUI, you would know it is nothing like iOS. I own a Mi2 and an iPhone 5 and I prefer the Mi2 as my daily phone. Just because there is an icon dock and icon folders doesn't make it a copy of iOS. Plenty of ROMs have these basic features. The iPhone 5 is a great device, but too restrictive for my needs so I use it as an iPod Touch.
What does the slides not looking like Apple slides have to do with anything? XiaoMi is not Apple. Your statement is irrelevant.
Companies in all industries take design cues from their competitors, "copying" is much too strong of a word. On the other hand, if XiaoMi is attempting to copy the SUCCESS of Apple, there is nothing wrong with that, every company would aim to do so. Marketing techniques have little to do with the actual technologies and products being sold. XiaoMi is trying to offer leading technologies at an affordable price, and Apple is not known for that latter area.
Just because you're an Apple lover (or a Chinese product hater) DOES NOT MEAN EVERY COMPANY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF IS COPYING APPLE. Ignorant fanboys need to keep quiet. Reply
name99 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkXiaomi is constantly referred to as "China's Apple". This is simply a fact --- do a freaking google search. As such, it's perfectly reasonable to ask whether this is a sensible and reasonable designation. Reply
Anon1440 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkReason why it is called "China's Apple" because it is very successful in China. Similar to how Apple is a big hit in US. However, if you want to compare the functionality, they are very different. I have Mi2, S4 and iPhone4S and the closest one that is similar to each other are Mi2 and S4. iPhone4S has nothing on Mi2, if not worse, in terms of the UI and the horrendous (this is purely my own opinion) iOS7.

Looks like Apple copied MIUI with this one.
Also, which one is more open to customisation and has weekly updates BASED ENTIRELY ON USER FEEDBACK?
Wait sorry, customisation and listening to customers is foreign language in iOS-land. Reply

cubanresourceful - Friday, September 06, 2013 - link@Brian or Anand: I was wondering, in these new Snapdragon SoC, does Android take advantage (or even know) that the Snapdragon MSM8974 chips have Qualcomm's Voice Activation Feature (similar to the "NLP Core" in the Moto X)?
Does this mean that a separate "low energy" chip is no longer required (seeing how Motorola went with an older Qualcomm chip that did not have this feature, I assume is why they had to stick in a separate chip in). Reply
TheJian - Sunday, September 08, 2013 - link"It's safe to say that Tegra 4 hasn't been the overwhelming success that NVIDIA had hoped for, nor able to continue the momentum that Tegra 3 built"
You guys act like this is the first tegra4 device...LOL. NV haters at anandtech these days, including YOU Anand. HP and Toshiba both are shipping devices, but you guys can't get something to benchmark? How long are you guys planning on pretending T4 is only in shield?...LOL. I don't see this phone being beat by any S4's in the link below and the benchmarks have been out since early July. It's 20%~ faster than everything else in the list in gpu here, and we already know the CPU rocks antutu in a tablet vs. S800 (36000+ if memory serves). Clearly T4i won't have a phone problem and I expect tegra sales to ramp with it. That's TWO tegra 4 phones now with ZTE's U988S. Once the list below is all shipping I suspect we'll see some decent T4 numbers in the Q report.
A paste of a comment I made elsewhere:
T4 just started shipping end of July (basically only just over a month). Not sure how you can call it a failure yet:
2 toshibas with T4 (and a 3rd with a T3)
Vizio has a T4 (and T3) coming also that they showed at CES
Also the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity,
HP SlateBook x2 & an AIO device (20in?) both T4, not to mention
Mad Catz MOJO (they are SEEKING deal T4 they said).
BungBungame's Kalos tablet uses T4 also
Xiaomi Mi3 handset
Looks like T4 owns the top of the list right? Xiaomi phone is impressive.
Acer with TA2 coming with T4
Of course shield, and now maybe a tegra tab7 Q1?
Surface RT rev2 coming shortly (I think RT kills anything, but it's another device)
Couple those with Ouya, gamepop, wikipad etc and I think tegra has a pretty good year lined up even before the T4i. Hp, Toshiba, Microsoft, Asus, Acer all showing tegra 4 support.
ZTE also has U988S phone coming. I'm sure I'm missing a few devices but these are already coming.
Really not quite sure if all these devices will fail, but they're coming. Your statement is fantasy at best. Can you name that many S800 devices yet? T4 doesn't even have a modem, so imagine the use of T4i when it finally gets certification shortly and is aimed at $100-200 china market etc (expect Q1 devices and announcements by xmas or so probably for those products). These are devices that are going to sell in some quantity whether you like it or not. I expect Google's console to come with T4 also as they'll want to take advantage of the only company pushing mobile games (TEGRAZONE) right now: Nvidia. I'll be surprised if they don't use NV T4 or T5, depends on launch date, NV may have pushed up T5 to Q1 just for google, who knows. Reply

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture
Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture Reviews
Spray and GoI was thrilled to get the chance to review this product. At first glance it seemed like a really novel idea, but I am usually skeptical of gimmicks, so I was eager to see what this product had to offer. When I got it, I first noticed that the can was slim so it fit comfortably in my hand, and was a sunny yellow color, which I liked. I also liked that the usage instructions were clear and showed a ...read morewoman in the diagram, which made me feel like this products is especially for the ladies, which pleased me. When I tried this spray for the first time, my first words were "Oh my!" I liked the amount dispensed by the can-- not too thick, and not too little, and as I rubbed the lotion into my (normally extremely, Saraha-dry) skin, I could immediately feel it soaking up the moisture. My skin instantly felt silkier and smoother, and not the least bit greasy. The scent of the lotion is nice and light-- and you can actually smell the distinct scent of the shea butter, which is one of my favorite skin care ingredients. The moisture-giving qualities of this product seemed to last about 4 hours-- not as long as I would like, but I do have very dry skin, so I would still say that it exceeded the length of time a normal body lotion would last. More importantly though, it absorbed quickly, so I could dress right away and not have to worry about mussing my clothes. I especially liked using it right after a shower, as it really seemed to help lock in moisture and keep my skin extra smooth. My skin is also extremely sensitive, and I am happy to report that it did not irritate my skin in any way. If anything, I found it to have a soothing effect. My favorite thing about this lotion being a spray is that you can apply it directly to your skin. I hate having to take a puddle of lotion in the palm of my hand so that I can apply it all over, so the spray was a lovely, non-messy and new way to put it on. I definitely used this more than a conventional lotion, largely in part as to how easy it was to apply. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially ladies with dry skin. It is a step up from an average drug store lotion, and I truly am impressed that Vaseline put out this great product. My only concerns about it would be the price-- I would be willing to pay up to five dollars for this product,and it seems like it could be a little expensive. I also wish the spray were non-aerosol, as I know those types of cans are not good for the environment. Still, in spite of all that, I was impressed and recommend this product. I don't give out 10 star reviews very often, but this one really is a winner. — 4 years, 6 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

ConvenientIf you are anything like me, then you probably think that spray-on sunscreen is the greatest thing EVER. I love the stuff, and it's the only kind of sunscreen I can get my fiance to wear. So I was kind of intrigued by this new Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer. I don't really have a problem with any of my usual body creams getting onto my clothes, since they absorb fairly well also, so the tagline o...read moref "absorbs quickly so you can put your clothes right on" isn't really a selling point for me. I really like that this spray dispenses just the right amount of lotion. It's very easy to use, the container fits comfortably in my hand and the spray nozzle works well. It can even be "locked" to avoid accidental sprays, just by twisting the top! The formula is fantastic--it easily absorbs into the skin with just a bit of rubbing. My skin is pretty normal (not dry) and this keeps my legs well moisturized for a few hours. I don't particularly care for the scent of the product (but if you like Vaseline products, this is the same scent). I also really like that this is not an aerosol-propelled product--it uses canned air. Pros: Formula absorbs into skin quickly Feels nice, not greasy Spray-on formula is convenient Cons: Price is only okay for the amount of product Contains parabens, fragrance (typical Vaseline lotion scent) — 4 years, 6 months agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
A broken down train at Balham has led to the cancellation of some routes in south London and disruption on the Southern railway network, while flooding has also caused some problems on Thameslink services.
The broken down train incident was reported at 6.46am and has affected services between Balham and London Victoria, with delays of up to 30 minutes.
Some services, such as Epsom Downs to London Victoria, would no longer stop at Wandsworth Common and Battersea Park during the disruption, Southern said.
Delays have also been reported on services between Clapham Junction and West Croydon.
First Capital Connect Thameslink services have also been delayed, with station announcements saying there have been problems with flooding.
Commuters on the Wimbledon loop to Sutton have been delayed and at least one train has been cancelled.

The Jump to Othering after the Boston Marathon Bombing
Hearing about the bombings at the Boston Marathon while driving to school early last week felt surreal. It just didn't make sense. Sometimes it's simply tiring to even try to make sense of yet another act of violence. I strongly believe that all violence is connected at the root by hatred. I also believe that hatred feeds oppression, which perpetuates violence. That's why I am annoyed that our culture so quickly jumps to make the people who carried out this violence "others."
It's not a new concept. We find ways to separate ourselves from people who do bad things all the time. For example, we call people who commit child sexual abuse "predators." What seems to be very common when it comes to acts of mass violence is a racial, ethnic, and/or religious othering. It seems to be part of the process of making sense of the hurt. We need to know that there is something fundamentally different about the person that would make this behavior possible.
I'm going to suggest that it might be this desire to other that makes the violence possible. It's curious to me that everyone needed to know the religious and ethnic backgrounds of these men right away. Was it the religious identity that made this an act of terrorism? In a fascinating scene from the famed Colbert Report, Stephen laid out the reality of the profile of the men who allegedly bombed Boston. He suggested that the accurate description is a dark-haired, angry Caucasian guy, and he put up a picture of himself. Realistically, we may just be drawing up composites of ourselves when we get right down to the root of the problem.
I don't condone this violence. I also fear that our natural jump to othering will only make future violence more likely. Let's be smart enough to know when an approach just isn't working. Let's strive to find the human qualities in the people who cause harm. This may be the game changer.

Did you know?
Lady Grey's Royal MacNab originates from John Buchan's book about a poacher, entitled John MacNab.
It's a chilly winter's night in Lady Grey village, in the Witteberg Mountains in the high country of the Eastern Cape. This area is also famously called 'the tail of the dragon', where the southern part of the Drakensberg (literally the 'Dragons' Mountain in Afrikaans) range peters out.
No-one here in the sports club seems to mind, however, because the bagpipes are in full blow, the whisky is in full flow and a steaming haggis is about to be sliced up for supper. There's a guy near the stage flogging colourful kilts hand over fist.
This distinctly Scottish affair is the culmination of The Lady Grey Royal MacNab competition, during which the entrants have to catch a trout, hunt a mountain reedbuck and bag a greywing francolin, all in the space of one day. This time there are only four successful 'MacNabs' including a woman who downed her mountain reedbuck from an amazing distance of 344 metres. Most of us can't even really see that far.
The MacNab is just one of the festivals that Lady Grey pulls off with aplomb every year. At Easter, villagers and students from the Lady Grey Arts Academy stage a three-day Passion play, during which scenes from the life of Jesus are acted out all over town.
When you arrive in Lady Grey in the snowy season, you might think you had been suddenly airlifted to a Swiss village high up in the Alps. It is truly 'chocolate-box beautiful' and local residents take great care to maintain the old Victorian building styles that have made this place such a drawcard for weekenders and new settlers alike.
Named after Eliza Lucy Grey, the wife of Sir George Grey, who was governor of the old Cape colony from 1854 to 1861, the village is a great base for visitors interested in San rock art, hiking, 4X4 trails, fishing, hunting or simply relaxing on top of the nearby Joubert's Pass, looking down on the world with a tot of Scotch and fresh mountain water, drawn direct from 1 of 1000 flowing streams.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- One of the University of Cincinnati students critically injured in a New Year's Day fire near campus has died.
The family of 21-year-old Chad Kohls said he died Monday. He'd been in critical condition since the fire Jan. 1 that was blamed on a space heater placed too close to bedding.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/XHwxMF ) reports that Kohls, who is from the Dayton area, was rescued from the top floor of the three-story house along with 20-year-old Ellen Garner, who remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Authorities said there were 10 people in the house when the fire started just before 7 a.m. Flames were confined to the second floor but smoke filled the third floor where Kohls and Garner were sleeping.
Nobody else was seriously hurt.
