I'm new to Linux. I just got my brand new Ubuntu CD ver. 5.10 for pc (Thanks Ubuntu!!!). It's runing like a charm. However, I don't have a high-speed I-net connection to download additional packages. I'd very much appreciate some one burning and sending me a cd with the most popular packages a newbie like me may need. I'm in Utah. Thanks a bunch.

I am wondering if someone would be willing to make a Xubuntu pc install cd for me. I am the chair of a small new local non-profit in NW Minnesota that has been using(practicing with) Libranet on refurbished computers with the intent to give them away to people of low incomes. Well, just as we're getting comfortable with Libranet, and getting ready to give away our fist couple machines, we've learned that Libranet has basically closed shop. Now we're looking for something to replace it and I think Ubuntu would be perfect, except that we're using older machines (300-400mhz, 64mb memory) and it is way too slow. I read about Xubuntu on the Wiki and forum, but we are not able to do that much downloading each time we want to setup/test a machine. So, if someone is able to make a Xubuntu pc install disk that would we wonderful. Please email me if you have questions. Thanks for your generosity, and many blessings to you this holiday season!

The Holidays last all year, for some people....
This is a wiki page to use for what is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=90650
To make a request for something other than what is offered, go to the bottom of the page:
In brief, perhaps some people would like to recieve a free ubuntu CD before the holidays, but Shipit may take too long. Some forum users can burn their own CDs and mail them (and pay for the stamp) to those who do not own CD burners or do not have broadband internet access. Also, it is possible to download extra packages (like Xubuntu -xfce4) and make a CD for those who cannot download them themselves.
See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptMoveHowto
As well, some may have some useful things which are collecting dust but may be helpful to others to get Ubuntu up and running.
For example, a stick of 64 Megs of ram may be the difference between someone being able to run the installer and successfully install or not. In North America, we throw away a lot of thing that others may find useful.

I have a friend who wants to try ubuntu, but has no way to backup all his files. If anyone has a 15-20gb spare hard drive, it would be appreciated.
My pc that was running Ubuntu (Celeron 635mhz 256mb pc133 20gb cdrw) Just had ram death! Ram don't work no more and I would appreciate if anyone has extra pcs or extra ram pc133 or something please email me. NYC area . Thanks!
I am a student in Australia, running ubuntu on an old pc in my room. Problem is I only have a 3.8gb HDD, I regularly run out of space and cannot boot into X. If anyone had a slightly larger capacity HDD to send me, I would be very appreciative.
I live in kansas, United States of America, and i've been running on windows 98 Second Edition on a network for quite sometime now. I want to switch and learn more in the world of linux. I would be greatful for a nice harddrive no less then 5GBs considering this 2.1gb slave drive i have is very slow and even though i got it for free its likely to fail like the last i tried since i have got them from my Votech class for Computer Maintence which i dont go to anymore since i moved v.v. Thank you very much for your kindness. ~Amber
I live in India. I would much appreciate if someone can send me a ram stick, its a very old computer PIII 550mhz. The RAM will help me install ubuntu. I can give more details if needed, about RAM type, but i really dont know how to determine it, so i mentioned my pc type. Maybe a oldest type of ram available ? (Menza says: EDO or SD ram guys :|)
I live in Kolding, Denmark. If anyone from Germany/Norway/Denmark/Sweden happen to have an old laptop they don't use, I'd be more than happy to recieve it for schoolwork, since I really need it - I won't mind paying for transport at all.
I was happy using ubuntu and suddendly one of my ram sticks went out. So now i have 64mb of ram(Thats to low to run Ubuntu). My cpu is 700mhz. So if anybody has unneeden Sdram (Stick says: Sdram p133, whatever that means) i would be more than happy to accept it. And i can pay for the shipping if it doesnt cost a lot of money, im in Lithuania, Europe so shipping wouldnt be hard.

Hi, I live in Kolkata, India. Does anyone have an old nVidia card that they don't use and are looking to get rid of? I am in need of a SM2.0 card (GeForceFX and up). I'll pay for shipping if required, of course. Thanks!

Style Porsche Wins red dot
911 Carrera wins red dot: best of the best 2012 award.
Arguably—and people will argue—one of the all-time best designed vehicles is the Porsche 911, the first of which went into production in September 1964. While there have been multiple variants of the car, it has the sort of iconic shape, profile, stance, and presence that make all the versions harken back to the original, which is in the case of this vehicle a good thing. A very good thing.
The current version is the 911 Carrera. The car received the prestigious "red dot: best of the best 2012" award in the "Automobiles, transportation, commercial and water vehicles" category. The red dot awards have been presented since 1955 (en.red-dot.org).
What is even more notable vis-à-vis Porsche is that the company's chief designer Michael Mauer and his team of 80—the Style Porsche design team—were named the "red dot: design team of the year 2012."
Speaking of these honors, Mauer said, "That we won both of these most renowned awards this year makes me and my team proud indeed. It means we pursue the right design philosophy. With our work, we have ensured that a Porsche has always been a signature Porsche for many decades—from the 911 up to the Cayenne. The quality of our design is founded on our brand values: tradition and innovation, sportiness and suitability for everyday driving. This unique combination and the convention that good design has to be honest, functional and timeless constitute the foundation of our characteristic Porsche design language."

I'm currently making my way through the depths of my pantry, and one ingredient I have on my list is Lipton's Onion Soup Mix. I stocked up on it earlier this year when it was on sale and have made french onion dip with greek yogurt a few times, and have also used it with beef in the slow cooker. Until last week though, it never occurred to me to use it with chicken, and now that boneless, skinless chicken breast is on the Zero Points list with Weight Watchers Freestyle, I was especially excited to experiment!
This Baked Onion Chicken recipe is super simple to put together, but has so much flavor it's hard to believe how easy it is. The entire recipe uses just 4 ingredients (5 if you count salt & pepper!) and has just 10 SmartPoints.5
The hardest part is coating the chicken, and if you make sure to let the extra egg wash drip off the chicken before adding it to the dry mix, as well as use a different utensil in the dry mix (again, so it stays dry) than you use for the egg wash, you should be good to go.
As it's baking, the coating crisps up nicely so there's good texture on the outside, while the center stays juicy and delicious.
I cut the chicken into strips and found the amount of coating to be just enough, especially if you ignore the last strip.
But feel free to cut into different shapes (chunks, thin sliced chicken breasts, chicken tenders, etc.) and adjust the ratios as you see fit. In any case, this dish should go over well with the whole family, and may just become part of your regular rotation.
|Prep Time
|5 mins
|Cook Time
|25 mins
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 packet Onion Soup Mix
- 2/3 cup Plain Bread Crumbs
- 2 whole eggs
- salt & pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Get your coating station ready. First crush onion soup mix in the packet as best you can, then add to a shallow bowl with the bread crumbs, stirring until well combined. Add salt and pepper if desired. Then beat the eggs with a fork in a separate shallow bowl.
- One by one, coat the chicken strips! Take a piece of chicken and dip it in the egg mix, then let the excess drip off before dropping it into the bowl with of dry coating. Use a separate spoon to coat chicken in the dry mix, and then place the coated chicken on a lined baking sheet. Repeat process until all chicken strips are coated.
- Once oven is preheated, put the chicken in to bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through. The chicken should be cooked through with a crispy coating while still juicy when you bite into it!
- Options for tweaking this recipe include cutting the chicken into different shapes and adjusting the ratio of chicken to mix and baking time as appropriate; as well as using panko or seasoned breadcrumbs, and if you use seasoned, just omit the salt & pepper.
- For coating the chicken, a fork in the egg wash and a spoon with the dry mix works best for me, plus making sure to let the excess egg wash drip off the chicken before adding it to the dry mix.

The Surface Pro ad is here, but so are gripes about supply.
The ad (above) has an obvious business bent, focusing on pen input. And, of course, how light it is (two pounds). There's also a nod to the touch interface and USB connectivity.
The ad was directed by Jon M Chu, who directed the earlier Surface RT ad.
Meanwhile over at the official Surface Blog commenters are howling about supply.
"I went to three Best Buys, and two Future Shops. Sold out everywhere...Am I disappointed? Of course, I was really looking forward to 'trading-up' my iPad 4 for the Surface Pro," said a person identified as ChrisJamesKnapp.
Others were just as harsh. "I really wanted the Surface Pro 128. I went to 4 stores...but like most others I was completely let down by the lack of inventory. It reeks of incompetence at best or a poor marketing ploy at worst," said ARigs.
They have a point. The 128GB Surface Pro sold out immediately online and in short order at most Microsoft stores after it went on sale Saturday.
"We're working with our retail partners who are currently out of stock of the 128GB Surface Pro to replenish supplies as quickly as possible," wrote Panos Panay, who heads Surface the Surface team at Microsoft.
Microsoft's tablet is one of the few, if not the only, PC product in the last few years to spawn lines outside of stores. Like the October Surface RT rollout, there was a line yesterday at the Microsoft Store in the Century City area of Los Angeles.
But the product sold out much faster this time, leading to questions about Microsoft's supply strategy.
For example, prospective buyers who arrived at the Century City store were told soon after the store opened that stock was sold out of both the 64GB and 128GB models.
The Pro is priced at $899 for the 64GB model and $999 for the 128GB version. More about the specs and pricing here.

Michael never molested that boy. That idiot's dad asked him to lie for money. Well he's dead now. Thanks for ruining part of his life and make ppl think that he's a pedo freak. Bastard.

- 1 1/2 cups water

Add the onions to the kettle, cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are golden, and stir in the garlic. Add the tomatoes with their juice, breaking them up, the water, and the pork with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl, bring the mixture to a boil, and braise the stew, covered, in the middle of a preheated 350° F. oven for 1 hour.

Riley Westwolf (born 7/30/1986) is a furry from Waukegan, IL. Riley is a wolf-dragon hybrid in species.Wolfdragons are more commonly seen as a draconic looking creature, smaller in size, usually completely covered in fur in place of where scales should be, often lacking wings, and often seen with either canine ears or horns. Another variation of a wolgan is a wolf with draconic wings and horns, sometimes half scales, sometimes not.
Riley lives with his mate, Lil' Blue, whom he has been with since 2005, seeking new work and new residence away from Waukegan.
Riley came across the furry fandom by accident in 1999, when he stumbled on to a web page that is no longer in existence. He continued to follow the furry fandom, unannounced and unknown for 3 years until one day, stumbling on to LiveJournal, where he found a few furs, and for the first time actually made contact with another member of the fandom and continued on from there. In early 2004, Riley took a step further and started to commission artists for pictures of a character he had in the back of his mind since early childhood. Some of his first commissions were done by BlackTeagan in early 2004. Riley continued to collect art work from furry artists and anyone that he knew could draw.
In late 2005, Rex King, another character of his, was finally put down on to paper. Rex King is Riley's alter-ego character, which is a furred dragon, grey and white and color, with golden head-fur, green eyes, and draconic in build.
In 2007, Riley came up with a third fursona, a hyena character named Hitch Hyena.
Riley is an active member of the Lake Area Furry Friends and was also the chairman of the 2006 LAFF NYE Party, in Gurnee, Illinois, as well as one of the co-chairs of the 2007 party.

Who are they?
An aura of reserve, circumspection and distance surrounds these rather secretive men. Caiside , Gregers and Gláucio have evolved with a hard outer shell that protects their hypersensitive and highly emotional inner nature, endowing them with a calm and phlegmatic appearance which actually conceals a high degree of nervousness. So make no mistake, they are actually tender and affectionate creatures who seek to protect themselves above all. With their master number 11, if life permits them then there is a good chance that they will choose an original path leading to the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom - they are certainly inclined to ponder philosophical, metaphysical and religious mysteries thanks to their naturally inquiring and rather anxious minds. Often self-taught, they will show an interest in social and humanitarian movements where they could excel in the role of an advisor or guide. They could easily become passionate in their area of predilection and risk developping an annoying habit of systematization, which in extreme cases could result in an authoritarian demeanour or even fanaticism. Undeniably, the path of the 11 confers them a certain ascendancy over others, however it also involves a considerable amount of nervous tension and stress. If, on the contrary, Caiside , Gregers and Gláucio settle for the vibrations of the 2, an octave below the 11, then we are likely to find them in isolated and peaceful places, convinced that the only way to be truly happy is to keep oneself to oneself; and instead of taking care of others, they will adopt a life that is more or less routine but that nonetheless provides the security they crave. As children, they are extremely sensitive and likely to disappear inside their shell at the slightest injury. Their affective environment is crucial to their development and they are more than happy to pull their weight and participate with enthusiasm as long as they feel loved and encouraged. If the opposite is true, you´ll be wasting your time because they won´t move an inch. Parents, help them to develop their faculties of expression and communication, imagination and inspiration.
What do they like?
Often influenced by the sign of Aquarius, Caiside , Gregers and Gláucio are fascinated by anything that is out of the ordinary, heterodox or related to the latest, cutting-edge technology. They seek peace and quiet and certainly know where Robinson Crusoe was coming from. Their romantic life brings them a sense of equilibrium, in spite of the fact that things aren´t always plain sailing. It has to be said that they are very good at complicating relationships by remaining reserved, enigmatic and more or less taciturn, hoping that their partner will figure them out without the need for words; indeed they are inclined to manifest their feelings through their actions, which we all know speak louder than words anyway. Finally, they are sensible, loyal and reliable, and could make wonderful fathers - albeit a little strict.

What do they do?
If the 11 is predominant (if they have a life Path Number of 11, were born on the 11th or 29th of any given month or during February or November), they are likely to find fulfilment through the giving of advice (psychology, astrology, teaching or law...) or the more technical professions (engineering, research, technician or specialization in a recent field such as information technology)...

加入 Mozilla
If you want to go beyond connecting with Mozilla, you can join Mozilla and help realize Mozilla's mission of building a better Internet. As a developer, you have skills to contribute in many areas, as well as the opportunity to enhance your skills. Mozilla is an open source project, so we "default to open." You can "view source" and contribute to our software development projects, like the Firefox browser for desktop and Android, Firefox OS, and Mozilla's own websites. You can become part of an international community and get recognition for your efforts. Here are some of the advantages of contributing to the Mozilla project.
In writing code for an open source project, you may face problems you have not encountered before, which present learning opportunities for you. You can try out new tools and techniques in an open source project. For example, if you've never done any unit testing, and cannot get permission from your boss to do so in your regular job, writing some code for an open source project would be an excellent place to try it out. Contributing to open source gives you the opportunity to collaborate with and get to know many people around the world who have similar interests. Moreover, an open source organization like Mozilla has many contributors who can help you in solving problems you encounter. If you're just getting started contributing, you can look for "mentored" bugs, where an experienced contributor has offered to help a newcomer fix them.
Exploring many things and getting recognition in the community -- these are the intangible benefits of contributing to Mozilla.

What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is a list of pages of your website accessible to crawlers or users, typically organized in hierarchical fashion.
Sitemaps make relationships between pages and other content components.
It shows shape of information space in overview.
Sitemaps can demonstrate organization, navigation, and labeling system.
Plugin Features
Easily create a sitemap which is then updated every hour, or can be updated manually at any time via the WordPress dashboard.You can select pages/posts or entire posttypes that you want to exclude from the sitemap.
It generates both an XML sitemap and an HTML sitemap that you can display on your site via the shortcode.
What do we add to the sitemap?
The following URLs are added to the sitemap (with an option to hide them, ofcourse):
- Pages
- Posts
- Post categories
- Post tags
- Custom post types
- Custom taxonomies
- Additional pages: Add URLs yourself
Robots editor
While a sitemap allows search engines to scan pages faster, a robots.txt file disallows search engines from scanning certain pages. This plugin also comes with a handy robots editor to give you full control over your search engine visibility.

Shelley Morrison and Walter Dominguez - writer, directed and producers of "Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery" will join Jon and Talkin' Pets to discuss their upcoming film
"Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery"
Our present-day world seems to move at the speed of lightning: governments overturned via masses brought together by social media; corruption revealed by citizen journalists seizing each new day's digital headlines; connections between relatives, friends, and enemies that move through time and space with almost no effort. With each passing day, it becomes more and more difficult to connect with the past of only two or three generations ago. And yet, the memory and influence of those who came before us lingers, demonstrating both the powerful example of their struggle and how important it is that we better understand and preserve their memory.
For filmmaker Walter Dominguez, preserving the memory of his beloved grandfather, Emilio Hernandez (known as "Tata") was the initial impulse behind the remarkable documentary "Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery." As a young man, Dominguez knew Tata as one of the most beloved figures in the rural California town of Santa Paula, an idyllic town to this day still populated by orange groves, family farms, and proud citizens of modest means. For decades, Tata was the local Methodist pastor, a kind and benevolent soul still remembered with reverence forty years after his passing in 1973. As older residents of Santa Paula witness in "Weaving the Past," Tata was the wisest and most generous example of charity and loving kindness that a community could ask for – even to the extent that some remember him performing miracles. Tata often spoke of his more recent past: how he was mentored by a kindly Methodist minister after falling into hard times and alcoholism in his mid- twenties; his two loving marriages, his children, grandchildren, church members and the communities he served. Members of his congregations give interviews in which we come to see that Tata was one of the Mexican Methodist Church's most visible and prolific spiritual leaders, opening and expanding dozens of missions and churches, and dedicating himself to their communities in his half-century of service.
But in the early 2000s, with his own father's health failing, Dominguez begins to wonder about the many years that Tata kept secret – the first quarter century of his life. Surely, there must be something in Tata's childhood that could help explain his amazing adult life. After first interviewing Tata's widow – herself now in her 90s and nearing the end of life – Dominguez interviews his mother Maria Viola - the last surviving child of Tata's. He learns from her of a photograph that Tata on his deathbed gave to her to keep and cherish, saying that the young man in the photo was the most important person in his early life. That's just the first clue that will lead Dominguez on an amazing odyssey through the southwestern United States and Mexico as he pieces together the almost-invisible threads that weave the fabric of his grandfather's extraordinary life.
Born in poverty and beaten by a ruthless stepfather, young Emilio ran away at the age of only five, walking for miles through mountains to a large, wealthy hacienda owned by the Guerrero family, where he was taken in to help out with the livestock and unofficially made a member of the family. It is here that Emilio meets Práxedis Guerrero, who is some years older, and who will become his role model, mentor, and beloved friend – the subject of the photograph that starts Dominguez' journey so many years later. Prax is also one of the key figures in the growing revolutionary movement against the brutal Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz, and because of Prax's noble example of altruism and bravery, Emilio joins him in becoming an active participant in organizing armed revolt in Mexico.
Each new piece of information that Dominguez uncovers about Tata's life only seems to lead to new questions: what became of Praxedis' sister, who was Emilio's childhood crush and the subject of love letters that were exchanged until the end of their lives? What part did Tata play in the violent struggle against the unbearably corrupt and oppressive Mexican government – a struggle that also put him at odds with American officials who were sympathetic towards keeping Diaz in power? And what of the family that he ran away from as a child and barely spoke of as an adult – the beloved mother and sister all but lost to history?
Executive Produced by Dominguez' wife, Shelley Morrison (a veteran actress best known for her role as "Rosario" on the long-running sitcom "Will and Grace"), "Weaving the Past" is truly a family affair, a love letter from one generation to another. Fascinating interview clips are interwoven with compelling archival photos and footage, and balanced with painstakingly rendered re-enactments of past events – with many members of Dominguez' extended family actually playing the parts of their ancestors. Over the course of the eleven years of production and two years of post-production, Dominguez' own father and Tata's widow, and others interviewed in the film – passed away, making the rendering of this family's story all the more pressing, relevant, and poignant.
"Weaving the Past" powerfully brings to life the hardships, victories, and tragedies that marked the early life of "Tata" - Emilio N. Hernandez, a runaway peasant boy who became an unlikely revolutionary, then a broken man, and finally a pillar of strength for his adopted community and nation. It is a film that gradually and cumulatively sweeps viewers into the extraordinary people and the turbulent world of another time and place, and through telling Tata's story leaves them recognizing themselves and their own family sagas, as well as the same social ills that persist today.
"Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery" is written, directed, and produced by Walter Dominguez, with Shelley Morrison serving as executive producer. The film's editors are Maria Honrado and Spencer Averick, who also edited the 2012 Sundance film festival hit "Middle of Nowhere." Weaving the Past is garnering international film competition awards, including the Accolade Award. Currently, Dominguez and Morrison are working on the documentary "Whitewashed Adobe: The Rise of Los Angeles," a history series for public television about the remarkable and explosive growth of Los Angeles in its first century as an American place from 1850 to 1950, and the multi-ethnic people who built this city into a world-famous metropolis.

Abstract and Keywords
Marxists believe that an understanding of human society presupposes an understanding of the nature of the production of its material surplus and the nature of control over that surplus. This belief forms part of the "hard core" of the Marxist scientific research program. This hard core is complemented by a set of auxiliary hypotheses and heuristics, constituting what Imre Lakatos has called a scientific research program's "protective belt." The protective belt is a set of hypotheses protecting a research program's hard core. Over the past century and a half, Marxists have populated the protective belt with an economic theory, a theory of history, a theory of exploitation, and a philosophical anthropology, among other things. Analytical Marxism is located in Marxism's protective belt. It can be seen as a painstaking exercise in intellectual housekeeping. The exercise consists in replacing the tradition's antiquated, superfluous, or degenerate furnishings with concepts, methods, and auxiliary hypotheses from analytic philosophy and up-to-date social science.
The three most influential strands in analytical Marxism are, roughly: its reconstruction of Marx's theory of history, historical materialism; its philosophical anthropology, including the theory of freedom; and its theory of exploitation, including the theory of class.
Keywords: freedom, egalitarianism, exploitation, domination, critical theory, labor theory of value, Karl Marx

Katy Perry Strips ... Then Rips Old Classmate
Katy Perry Strips ... Then Rips Old Classmate
Katy Perry burned one of her former classmates during a surprise performance at her old high school yesterday ... calling out some dumbass who ignored her during her pre-girl-kissing years.
It all went down at Dos Pueblos High School near Santa Barbara, CA -- where 25-year-old Katy claims she spotted and then singled out the "most popular kid" in her class -- then rubbed in the fact that he "never wanted to date" her.
Katy then poured salt in the wound by screaming, "What's up now?" ... and followed it up by dedicating her next song to him ... titiled, "You're So Gay."
BTW, Katy started off the show wearing a cheerleader outfit ... then stripped into something more revealing ... and yes, we left that part in.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

* El Nino damages maize, rice, wheat yields - study
* Boosts soybean yields, Japanese-led study shows
* Big regional varieties within crop types
By Alister Doyle
OSLO, May 15 (Reuters) - The El Nino weather phenomenon that is likely to strike this year damages world maize, rice and wheat yields but boosts soybeans, according to a study on Thursday that could help farmers plan what to grow.
The Japanese-led report gave what it called a first global set of maps linking yields of major crops to El Nino, a warming of the surface of the tropical Pacific Ocean that can trigger downpours or droughts around the globe.
The maps are meant to help farmers decide which crops or varieties to plant and may give governments a "famine early warning system", the study in the journal Nature Communications said.
Most forecasts show an El Nino emerging in mid-2014, the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said last month.
El Nino - Spanish for 'the boy' - forms every two to seven years and warning signs emerge months in advance.
Thursday's study said mean maize yields fell 2.3 percent in El Nino years compared to normal in 1984-2004, rice was down 0.4 percent and wheat 1.4 percent.
Soybean yields rose 3.5 percent, with rainfall patterns favouring big U.S. and Brazilian harvests.
In years with a La Nina event, the opposite of El Nino and cooling the Pacific surface, yields for all four dipped, according to the study by scientists in Japan, the United States, Britain, Australia and Denmark.
Lead author Toshichika Iizumi, of Japan's National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, said farmers in Australia were among those who sometimes switched crop plans based on El Nino forecasts. And Indonesia, for instance, advised rice farmers to change planting dates, based on El Nino phases.
"I hope the finding of this study extends such efforts to national governments for controlling food storage, building food trade strategy, and earlier application of food aid in food insecure regions," he told Reuters.
The report found big variations for each crop. Soybean yields gained overall, for instance, but fell in India and parts of China in an El Nino year.
And maize yields, for example, suffered in the southeastern United States, China, East and West Africa, Mexico and Indonesia during an El Nino year, but rose in Brazil and Argentina.
Robert Stefanski, chief of the WMO Agricultural Meteorology Programme, said the regional impacts were most relevant since he said there was "high uncertainty" about global numbers.
"It is difficult to develop and use any reliable global impact on global crop production due to El Nino/La Nina," he told Reuters.
Even in vulnerable regions "more rain for Indian wheat can be beneficial if it falls during the middle of its crop cycle but if it falls during harvesting, it can be detrimental," he said.
Michaela Kuhl, a commodity analyst at Commerzbank, said more information about El Nino's links to crops was welcome. She noted the International Cocoa Organization estimated in 2010 that cocoa yields fall 2.4 percent in El Nino years.
But she cautioned "it's very difficult to show an influence of El Nino because it doesn't work with the same manner and same strength" from one event to another.
The U.N. panel of climate scientists said in a report last year that downpours linked to El Nino may intensify this century. It said there are big uncertainties about whether global warming will affect the frequency of El Nino and La Nina. (Additional reporting by Nigel Hunt in London; Editing by Mark Potter)

MIKE DRISCOLL: Memorial Day is here
This past Sunday I was saddened to read we had lost a lady who, every week, thanked people who cared for her as she tried to beat cancer. My loss was that I never met Ann DeMatteo, but she sounded like your best friend and a lady that truly cared to thank the people in her life, every week through fabulous columns in the Register Citizen and sister papers. I enjoyed reading her every Sunday,faithfully. May you never be forgotten, Ann, on this place called "Island Earth."
Happy Memorial Day weekend.
We will get back to this weekend soon, but I need to follow up after a fantastic visit to Torrington, Conn USA this past Mother's Day weekend. Lots has been happening since we last talked.
I now have a new saying that cost the city of Torrington nothing regarding a slogan:
"" Torrington, a great place to visit. ""
While my sister Patti was home visiting my Mom from Anchorage, Alaska, I thought it was better to "give the girls their space" and stayed at the Yankee Pedlar Inn. It is a good, clean and quiet place to stay, period.
I took my daily bike rides around town. Sharon's smiling face and seeing Frank and Mr. Kibbe at Energy Fitness make the 25 bucks for a week's membership while home, well worth it also.
I was blown away at the memories that went through my mind in such a short jaunt.
I walked by Coe Memorial Park. My mind went back to selling hot dogs at the park for the Memorial Day parade -- fun times.
Then I walked across the street as the THS boys were playing " under the lights." My mind went back to Hank Poll and Gus sitting watching less than 50 people there in 1990 -- as we first started selling hot dogs there to the year when the "Twisters" came to town and we had 2,000 people there nightly. I was in awe at how great the park looked as well as the crowd there.
I walked by my late Uncle Bob's house and teared up at the memories of him. His house was/is the house on Taylor street next to the Social Security Office.
Next I walked Franklin Street to see the new establishments and saw a cleaned up part of town versus the 1990s days and the police sub station. Some new folks are saying " what police sub-station!
Walked by the WMCA and " in my mind" I can still see the old facade where the door to the left brought you by older men watching Mickey Mantle and the 1960s Yankees, as smoke billowed out of the same door.
Walking down Maiden Lane, I had vivid memories of the 1960s garage door that a button open the massive door where my Dad parked his 1963 T Bird next to Mr. Brooks's vintage cars. My Dad worked at Brooks's Bank and Trust Co.
My favorite new place is The Backstage Restaurant in the old Mertz building. While yes, there are "many" vacant storefronts on Water, Main and more, the Backstage Restaurant is Torrington's newest jewel. I bet they pay taxes too?
Bartenders John and Matt are awesome guys, the managers, waitresses and waiters are great. And most of all, the food, both presentation and quality, are fabulous. I owned a few food businesses in town for close to 20 years. Trust me and try Backstage. Just try the onion straws and you will be hooked. Great, no -- a superb place!
While I could go on and on about my great visit and meals with Mom and Patti, I also must thank Paulie Samele for getting Heather, Jeanne, Deonna and myself into PSam's Mother's Day Brunch. Food was unbelievable and service was as well.
I got to thank Paulie personally, after earlier watching him wash dishes during our brunch, to hours later, seeing him mowing his lawn at home -- on Mom's Day. Probably was the most relaxing part of his day!
Seriously, except for how dirty the streets still look, I still see some good still and yes -- some of the sadness of my favorite town. I pray we can still take back the town!
Today is close to Memorial Day where we try and remember all the men and women that help and helped us to be able to live in freedom. It is really the true meaning of Memorial Day. Many died protecting us. Try and listen to the speaker at the end of the parade, it is really just as important as the parade. Kids, enjoy marching!
I miss selling food at both parades in Torrington and then reloading with Alex and running up to South Road in Harwinton -- to sell ice cream cotton candy, hotdogs, hamburgers etc... The people in Harwinton are fabulous folks too.
In the next few weeks, you will see "paid advertisements" as I have bought a four-bedroom year round house -- two blocks from water and two blocks from town of Harwich last week. I will only have six in the house at one time though. I will be renting weekly for vacations. I will stay in my 441-square-foot cottage in Dennisport. So watch for my adverts please.
God willing, we will be back on the 4th of July, talk about the fireworks back at Fussenich Park of long ago, other good holiday conversations, Torrington's people and talk also about how a loud guy named Gary still owes me on a bet from the Presidential election.
Michael Driscoll may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com for comments and or a visit to the Cape. Cheers!

It's hard to describe exactly what Elder Sign: Omens is about. It's basically a board game in which you and a group of adventurers — either NPC or ones controlled by friends — attempt to solve mysteries before you go mad. Really, if you are familiar with Lovecraft and all of that mumbo jumbo about crazy gods and the end of the world (which I am not) then you will know what I'm talking about.
Name: Elder Sign: Omens | Publisher: Fantasy Flight | Category: Board Game | Players: 1+ | Version: 1.2.5 | Size: 21 MB | Price: $3.99
I am familiar with Fantasy Flight Games, however, and Elder Sign: Omens is one of their attempts at bringing a popular board game to mobile. I'd say they mostly succeeded; the handheld experience feels very boardgame-ish, and the beautiful artwork and lovely music and sound effects round it up to something good.
I wish I could explain exactly how the game works, but again it's hard to without actually showing you. Each member of your hand-picked team has his or her strong points, and you try to assemble a team that can work together best in order to solve mysteries. How do you actually solve mysteries? When you first begin to play it really seems as though everything is left to chance. You are handed several different icons and need to match those icons to unlock different parts of the greater mystery, but whether or not you get the icon you need is a result of chance. The game is sometimes cruel in the way it gives you icons that you might not need, so you have to approach it with the understanding that you will lose many of the battles in the greater war. In fact, I've yet to do very well in the game but its seemingly simple gameplay keeps pulling me in and the ability to pause or save a game makes it easier to pick up where I left off.
The artwork is great and its simple execution means that you'll probably be able to play this one on a variety of devices. I'm all for fancy animations and graphics that push my Nexus 7 to overheating, but I'd rather have good gameplay over graphics any day. Elder Sign: Omens is a recreation of a board game, so fans of dice rolling and strategy will feel at home. You can play solo if you want but you can also pass and play to a group of friends, each one representing a different member of the four person investigation team. I have no friends, unfortunately, but I still had a good time trying to figure out which character would help me out the most. You can make up your team of 1 to 4 investigators, and as each character takes his or her turn rolling the dice you will either succeed in matching symbols to unlock mysteries or you will fail, adding to damage or possibly losing some sanity. If you're not careful you will gain Doom points. These points accrue and at midnight each night the tally is taken; if they fill up a dozen slots the great Azathoth wakes up, causes world destruction and sends you to crazy town.
There are a few bonuses and items that act as buffs in the game. If you succeed you can gain these helpful items. At first you will probably fail as much as you win, but the items can often make the difference. That's more of the strategy half of the game showing; knowing when to use items, which items to use and how to outfit your investigation team.
The embedded tutorials that come with the game made me wish that more titles used a similar system. As you first step into sections of the game, you are given the choice to watch a tutorial video. Sure, the videos pack a good deal of information into only a few minutes and it can be often be confusing to take it all in, but these are videos we're talking about. Name the last title that gave you helpful tutorials in video form. The transition from video to gameplay is seamless, so you're not opening a browser window or having to look up pages of wiki articles to understand how to play.
All of the helpful tutorials won't make it crystal clear, however. The fact is that you are going to fail more often than not until it all sinks in. At the point I am at in the game I am still feeling the sting of failure and the crush of madness more than I would like, but the game is fun enough to encourage me to keep trying. Does this mean that non-board game fans will enjoy Elder Sign: Omens? It's possible that unless you enjoy strategy and puzzles you will find yourself skipping this one or asking for a refund from the Play store, but I would encourage you to stick around and keep plugging away at it. If you're lucky, you might even defeat a monster or two, but only after several failed attempts.
That's half of the fun, though, isn't it?

It was 15 years ago this week that NBC's "Seinfeld" ended with a walk-off so disappointing and bizarre that most of us have suppressed the memory. The real lesson from that point forward was to always act casual about final episodes of our beloved TV shows.
The end of NBC's "The Office" arrives Thursday night not only to these lowered expectations but with the added dents and scrapes of viewer neglect and covered in the duct tape that has held it together for the final two seasons of its charming and successful nine-season run. Since the departure of the show's star, Steve Carell, the pop-culturati have come down with a severe and epidemic case of Dunder Mifflin Fatigue, the main symptom of which is announcing over and over again that you no longer watch "The Office." I'm sure admitting otherwise greatly reduces one's Klout score.
So I write this for those of us who stayed behind, the losers who kept clocking in with "The Office" after Carell's Michael Scott character left. We watched the rest of the series without shame or apology — and, in fact, a pleasant sense of satisfaction, especially this season. My own contrarian streak runs so deep that I might be the only TV critic on the planet who put the first post-Carell season (when James Spader's Robert California character briefly helmed Dunder Mifflin) on my top 10 list of 2011.
So sue me. The overall narrative epic of the lives of the Scranton branch employees began to drift, and yet I always believed that the show's writers should have done exactly this, concentrating on the tale of a rudderless ship. That felt precisely like what happens in an office when one idiosyncratic boss leaves and is replaced by a steadily declining parade of micromanaging weirdos. That felt more real.
This was especially true when Dunder Mifflin was bought by Sabre, a company that made computer printers. Sabre sent half of the Scranton branch to Florida to help launch a high-tech boutique to sell the company's triangular iPad knock-off — a disaster from start to finish, and painfully familiar to any group of employees who came to work one day to find themselves reassembled into teams with revised core goals and quarterly initiatives that seemed to be invented on the fly. Through it all, the real workhorses of the "Office" cast never failed to shine, especially Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute and, starting in Season 3, Ed Helms as Andy Bernard.
And so, in its final season, "The Office" came to feel like the story that the documentary "crew" intended to capture. Until this spring, in accordance with the mockumentary genre, a certain strain of "Office" viewers was left in the dark about what sort of film was being made here; to whom were the characters talking? (God? Errol Morris? Werner Herzog? Themselves?) Michael Scott's parting line to the camera was to ask if he could somehow get a copy mailed to him of whatever it was they were allegedly filming. It wasn't supposed to matter, but to some of us, it did.
Then a flirtatious boom mike tapped the head of Pam Beesly Halpert (Jenna Fischer) in an episode in the back half of this season, launching us into "The Office's" most precarious story line to date, suggesting that she might leave her husband, Jim (John Krasinski). The sound guy had developed a crush on Pam after filming her and her colleagues for all these years. It was our cue that the end was really near.
Bit by bit, the mockumentary walls came down. We learned that "The Office" is a multi-year documentary set to air on Scranton's public television station. In last Thursday's penultimate episode, the Dunder Mifflin employees, including a romantically rekindled Jim and Pam, were off to a bar to watch it together, come what may.
TV critics were understandably not offered a preview of the final episode, since we'd probably blab, but it apparently picks up months later, after the documentary has aired. Some of the characters — including Angela Martin (played by Angela Kinsey), the office sourpuss who has at last learned to let go and let Dwight — have spent weeks fretting about how they're going to come off in the film. What did the camera see? How humiliated will they be?
This puts them in that smoldering debris of any Heisenberg principle or journalistic endeavor. For a show that put a primacy on awkward situations, can there be anything more cringey than that Janet Malcolm territory, in which the subject of a documentary or work of nonfiction prose discovers, with true horror, how the audience might perceive her? Will the characters of "The Office," like a thousand reality-show participants before them, cry foul over editing decisions and subjective viewpoints? Will their workplace family finally be ripped apart?
Whatever the outcome, it's been a wholly satisfying thread to follow, and a perfect way to end the show. "The Office" now joins a slim canon of millennial-era portrayals of the cubicle farms we called home — a list I would narrow down to the earliest of Scott Adams's "Dilbert" comic strips; Mike Judge's 1999 film "Office Space"; Joshua Ferris's 2007 novel "Then We Came to the End" and . . . what else, really? (I continue to be amazed at how plugged in "The Good Wife" seems when it portrays office life and office politics; and I suppose, if you were willing to entertain a transference theory that some of our
present-day workplace angst is projected onto the throwback human relations depicted at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce offices in AMC's "Mad Men," then it could also join this list.)
In a nation that continually tells its president and Congress that "jobs" and "the economy" are the No. 1 concern by far, it would seem Hollywood hasn't done its job of portraying our jobs — or our lack of them. "The Office" will continue to have a nice life in reruns for a time and then will go on to a better and more highly regarded life, standing as a
comedic totem to an era of panicky résumés, mindless memos from the HR department and a deeply unsatisfied American work psyche.
My last impression of "The Office" was the miracle suggested all along by its basic plot: that there was a paper company that hadn't been subsumed by Staples or OfficeMax, and that it had a branch office in which the white-collar division worked alongside the blue-collar warehouse. That the Oscars and the Kevins and the Phyllises and the Merediths and the Creeds — played by a superb comedy troupe that formed the real backbone of the show — all had full-time work in this mythical paper supplier as employees rather than contractors; that they came in at 9 and left at 5, collecting a salary and benefits; that they were never downsized, right-sized or otherwise laid off; and that they toiled in relative peace for nine years and counting.
It's the sort of American Dream job — and job security — many people stopped believing in eons ago. That's why we loved "The Office" and hated the office. It was meant to look real, but it was pure escapism all along.
(two hours) farewell special followed
by final episode, beginning
at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Jiraiya vs Naruto's Sage Mode Rasengan
Ok, I didn't read the chapter where Jiraiya was in Sage Mode, but I did read this week's. In the chapter where Jiraiya used sage mode and tried to hit Pain w/ the Giant Rasengan, was it called something different than the one that Naruto used this week? If not, could it be that the technique that Naruto used is the same? I know that the one Naruto used is specifically named, so if it is the same then this article should be merged w/ the one for Naruto.
- The names are differnt. Jiraiya literally used Cho Oodoma Rasengan (Super Great Ball Rasengan) while Naruto used Senpo: Oodama Rasengan (Hermit's Art: Great Ball Rasengan). Two different techniques.--TheUltimate3 16:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
The techniques are likely the same, though. It should also be noted that Naruto's rasengan didn't stop growing on the panel used here on Narutopedia. Notice that on the panel where Naruto hit the summons, the Rasengan was much larger than himself.
Name and patent
Shouldn't the name of the tech be Senpo: Cho Oodama Rasengan also shouldn't the patent jutsu be Rasengan Rather than the Great ball or should it be both--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 06:53, October 28, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
- Why would the parent jutsu be Rasengan, thats its "grand"parent jutsu. Simant (talk) 17:47, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
Should we add Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan to the "Derived" list? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:32, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
I don't think that Senpō: Chōōdama Rasen Tarengan should be on the derived list, since it's not directly derived from the Cho Odama Rasengan. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:38, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
His technique and Jiraiya's technique are the same Naruto just called it something else because he never heard Jiraiya say it. Jiraiya was in Sage Mode so it is more than likely a sage technique. Naruto used the Double Rasengan in chapter 432 and then called it the Sage Tech: Double Rasengan in chapter 433. So I think only the names are different but the techniques are the same.—This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
- If it's all the same to you I think we'll wait for an official release on this.--Cerez365™ 15:00, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
naruto was able to do the technique because his other clone was going into sage mode so it got the natural energy to make it but his clone wasn't ready going into the mode.But its the the same technique as jiraiya —This unsigned comment was made by Sora5687 (talk • contribs) .
- The clone performing the technique didn't have natural energy to be in sage more. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:18, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
Does it mean that Naruto's "own" power/chakra has surpassed that of Jiraiya ? Jiraiya had to be in Sage Mode to use this technique while Naruto was shown to be able to use the same technique without being so ... Is Naruto's normal/own chakra now stronger than that of Jiraiya's while being in Sage Mode ? I think so Elveonora (talk) 01:08, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
When did Naruto use this in the anime? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 17:04, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Two or three weeks ago, in before the girl's hang-out episode. He's also used it in the manga recently. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:10, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
Same kanji as Naruto's version
As Naruto's version uses the same kanji as Jiraiya's---except for the "Senpō" bit attached in front of it---why are they still separate articles?
- Naruto's: Senpō: Chō Ōdama Rasengan
- Jiraiya's: Chōōdama Rasengan (I don't even understand why this one is written without space)
It gets even weirder when Naruto is a user of both techniques! Can't we just merge these two articles?--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 23:34, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
- They were named differently. Odd, yes. However, Sage Art: Rasenrengan is simply Twin Rasengan in Sage Mode, but named differently. Anyway, Naruto can use this outside of Sage Mode. The only way I could see us combining the two is if the 4th databook affirms them as one and the same. Skitts (talk) 04:23, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Uhm...I was talking about Sage_Art:_Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan and Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan...and both use senjutsu chakra to create an ultra-big-ball-rasengan. Furthermore, Naruto has used both. Which makes it extremely weird to have two articles describing the same thing.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 18:01, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
- And as I said, they were named differently. Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan was given a databook article under that name (this was before the use of Naruto's version). They may very well be one and the same, but again, we can't change it unless we learn that from an official source (likely the 4th DB). Skitts (talk) 19:08, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Uhm...I was talking about Sage_Art:_Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan and Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan...and both use senjutsu chakra to create an ultra-big-ball-rasengan. Furthermore, Naruto has used both. Which makes it extremely weird to have two articles describing the same thing.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 18:01, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. And I understand now that you previously tried to make an analogy to the case of Sage Technique: Spiralling Serial Spheres versus Twin Rasengan. However, there was an actual difference in that case: one used senjutsu chakra while the other didn't. In the situation of Sage_Art:_Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan and Ultra-Big_Ball_Rasengan there aren't any differences. And the "Senpō" bit should get the same treatment as "Ninpō"; i.e. some ninja use it while others don't. (BTW, the trivia about Naruto using this technique outside sage mode has been clarified.)
- Anyway...I'm not the first to point this out and I probably won't be the last. I won't continue arguing about this, but waiting for a Databook to be published seems like a lame excuse. It's a wiki! It's easy to change things.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 13:32, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Now that I think about it, this situation actually has quite a bit in common with the whole Amaterasu and Blaze Release situation. As far as has been told, Blaze Release is simply the manipulation of the Amaterasu flames. However, it is apparently a different nature and may consist of another nature since that has been true of every other advanced nature transformation thus far. The reason I say we should wait for a databook is because it keeps us from making a possibly incorrect assumption and assures us that the information we have is, well, correct. Oh, and I'm the one who initially added that trivia last year when Naruto used the technique in the Adventures at Sea Arc. =P Skitts (talk) 13:37, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Anyway...I'm not the first to point this out and I probably won't be the last. I won't continue arguing about this, but waiting for a Databook to be published seems like a lame excuse. It's a wiki! It's easy to change things.--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 13:32, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- The Adventures at Sea Arc??? Uhm, shouldn't there actually be 2 trivia then, because the current one is about manga chapter 560.
- About Blaze Release. I believe some people are too attached to the idea that any advanced nature has to be a combination of 2 basic ones. As if the manga actually has that degree of consistency---especially when the Uchiha are involved. Additionally, there are far too many failures at logic involved in that debate, but this is not the place to discuss that,--Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (talk) 14:07, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- The trivia was changed when he used the technique in the same way in the manga as well, since it initially referred to such happening only in the anime. Skitts (talk) 14:13, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
- No, so far, Naruto's "Sage Art" Rasengan variants are all SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the correlating normal Rasengan variant. I think "Sage Art" actually does serve a different purpose than "Ninja Art" for some odd reason, in relation to techniques that have previously been used outside of Sage Mode. I do not think those two are the same technique.
I have a theory... Perhaps both Sage Technique: Spiralling Serial Spheres and Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan can be used outside of Sage Mode by experienced shinobi, but normally require the senjutsu chakra. Naruto does not need to add senjutsu chakra to make Ultra-Big Ball, likely due to his enormous chakra. I think Spiralling Serial Spheres (hate the translation on that one, by the way) COULD be used outside of Sage Mode for someone with good enough chakra control to hold and keep stabilized two Rasengan at the same time (although, perhaps two clones using Rasengan simultaneously would classify as this technique, seeing as the derived techniques Ultra-Many Spiralling Serial Spheres and Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres use Multiple Shadow Clone with no clones holding two Rasengan). In reference to the naming, I think "Sage Technique" prefixes mean the variant is created using Sage Mode (the user cannot use it outside of Sage Mode), but it is not absolutely necessary to include this prefix. By that token, the full name of Jiraiya's Ultra-Big Ball would technically be "Sage Technique: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan. With the "Sage Art" variant of pre-existing non-sage techniques, the "Sage Art" version is superior in some way (bigger Rasengan)--the user is enhancing the technique with senjutsu chakra.--ScruffyC (talk) 02:03, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Different names
When Jiraiya uses this technique for the first time, he calls it 超大玉螺旋丸 Chō Ōdama Rasengan. When Naruto's using it in chapter 560 against Madara, he calls it 超大玉 螺旋丸 Chō Ōdama — Rasengan. What to do? btw: If it's written Chōōdama or Chō Ōdama doesn't matter. I prefer it with space, though. Seelentau 愛議 21:02, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
I think this technique is a mistake by Kishi as it uses Natural Energy, it should be "Sage Art" thus I'm for a merger.--Elveonora (talk) 13:16, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
@Elveonora, If you read the description of this and the Sage Art version, they are the exact same thing, except for the naming. I agree with Elveonora, we should merge the two together. Also, I'd always assumed that the extra - was because of how many shadow clones that was using this. Joshbl56 13:27, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
@Elveonora Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan can be used outside of Sage Mode as well. Skitts (talk) 14:30, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
But J-man used it with Sage Mode so his version should be "Sage Art" or not ? I don't remember it being used outside of Sage Mode ...--Elveonora (talk) 14:41, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
The wiki doesn't differentiate between techniques based on whether or not "Ninja Art" is the prefix for them. Perhaps the two could be merged, with a mention that it can also be used outside of Sage Mode and a trivia point explaining how it has been named slightly differently in all three uses? Something like the trivia mentioning Yamato's naming of "Nativity of a Sea of Trees" compared to Hashirama's "Nativity of a World of Trees".--BeyondRed (talk) 19:24, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
@Elveonora A Shadow Clone of a Shadow Clone used this technique against Madara somewhere around chapter 560, while the original clone was entering Sage Mode. He also used it outside of Sage Mode in the anime Adventures at Sea arc. Skitts (talk) 20:24, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
Anime fillers aren't canon. The manga appearance outside of Sage Mode counts though, thanks. Then only J-man's case is weird as he has used "art less" version with Sage Mode, but J-man's should be called the same as Naruto's against Kyubi.--Elveonora (talk) 20:59, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
That trivia is misleading. Makes it seem like he's transmitting sage chakra to his clones. Which he isn't.MangekyoSasuke (talk) 06:00, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to bring this topic back up as there isn't much word against merging the techniques. They seem very much the same to me. Arrancar79 (talk) 22:26, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
"Ultra" rather than "Super"?
Pardon me if this has been answered before, but why exactly did the Wiki choose to change the translation of "Chou" from "Super" to "Ultra"?--ScruffyC (talk) 23:15, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
Came around the time ShounenSuki started translating the third databook entries. He was our go-to translation guy back in the day. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:38, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Sage Mode
Naruto was able to perform this technique outside of Sage Mode so unless that's anime only shouldn't we remove Sage Mode as a parent? (Evilpuppy (talk) 06:23, August 2, 2013 (UTC))
Senjutsu is not needed to do this jutsu and it does not add senjustu to it its just a regular massive rasengan page needs to be changed both times naruto has used it 231 322 have been proof of this and out of sage mode.DATONENINJAFROMBEFORE (talk)DATONENINJAFROMBEFORE
- At the very least, something should be done about this technique because we have another article for the exact same thing. It's just such a unique case because the databook listed it under this name and classified it as senjutsu, then the manga included it again under a different name, and then this name was used again for a non-senjutsu version.--BeyondRed (talk) 22:32, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
Swap the Images
I'm pretty sure we swapped the images because technically, Jiraiya's Rasengan was Sage Powered, while Naruto's was not. BUT Jiraiya's image is a much clearer shot of the technique and doesn't have Naruto just kinda blocking most of it. Would it be cause too much issues to swap the images then?--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:06, January 8, 2018 (UTC)

Selling individual tracks online is not the only thing Pink Floyd has been raging against recently. The band has removed several albums from iTunes, Amazon et al due to EMI's contract expiring at the end of June.
The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here and The Final Cut have all disappeared due to record label issues. Now that Pink Floyd's contract with EMI has ended, the band is on the lookout for a new label to license its complete catalog—ensuring, of course, that albums aren't chopped up with songs sold individually.
While The Wall has sold extremely well since EMI took it on back in 2000 (sales amount to 1.5m in the US alone), only 107,000 of those have been digital sales.
Some of Pink Floyd's earlier albums, like The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Dark Side of the Moon are still available to download, as EMI still has the license for those.
Pink Floyd, like The Beatles and Radiohead, remain one of those bands concerned with the digital release of its art (in varying ways, of course). It's entirely understandable, but removing some of Pink Floyd's greatest albums from online will only be further incentive for people to acquire them by unscrupulous means. [Reuters via TechRadar]
