Baugh, Albert C. (Albert Croll), 1891-1981
Extent: 15 boxes
Consists of 15 boxes of Albert Croll Baugh's professional papers, including correspondence, research materials, a catalog of the book collection he donated to the University of Pennsylvania libraries, and reproductions of various medieval manuscripts. The correspondence is professional and overwhelmingly relates to Baugh's research. The research materials consist primarily of notes, unpublished article reviews, reprints of articles, and newspaper clippings, and make up the greater bulk of the collection.

The catalog records Baugh's extensive personal research library and can additionally be found on microfilm, along with various medieval manuscripts on microfilm. The bulk of the manuscript reproductions are, however, in photograph, facsimile or photocopied form. These manuscripts are primarily in Middle English (with a few in Latin) and include various transcriptions of the Ancren riwle (a 13th century text of rules for anchoresses, one version of which Baugh edited and then published in 1956), two versions of Piers Plowman, (the B and C texts), various English public records, and miscellaneous other Middle English works.

He was courageous in the face of his critics and his political enemies even when experiencing both written and physical attacks. Even though Frank claimed he was an outsider he was embraced by the people and cultures he championed and studied. Although largely forgotten by the end of his lifetime, his correspondence, writings, and ideas remain, providing insight into literary circles, political ideas, and historical events in the United States and Latin America during the early- to mid-twentieth century.

Three Carson City businesses, two individuals cited for selling alcohol to minors
Three businesses failed alcohol compliance checks held by the Carson City Sheriff's Office on Monday.
The checks were done during the office's "Shoulder Tap Operation" in which individuals were asked by a decoy to purchase alcohol for him/her. The decoy informed those asked that he/she was underage and could not purchase the alcohol. During the operation, four individuals were approached during this operation of which two purchased alcohol for the decoys. These individuals were cited for furnishing alcohol to minors.
Also during this time, alcohol compliance checks were done at 34 establishments that sell alcoholic beverages. Servers at Eagle Valley Market, 933 Woodside Drive, at the Country Store, 3389 Highway 50 East, and at 7-11, 3838 Highway 50 East, were each issued a citation for providing alcohol to a minor.
The Sheriff's Office routinely conducts these checks with grant money received from the Nevada Juvenile Programs Justice Office.

If pessimism among small business owners is any indicator, the U.S. economy has not merely derailed. It has hurtled over a cliff and lies in smoking ruins at the bottom of a deep ravine.
"Every day is a struggle and if we were not strong people, I see how people can just give up," said Sheri Wolfe, who had to close her struggling business in smalltown Missouri over the summer.
Wolfe's words underscore sentiments expressed by business owners in a host of recent surveys as well as e-mail and interviews with msnbc.com. But solid evidence that small businesses are hurting on a wide scale, especially as a result of the credit crunch, is harder to come by.
"Confidence about the economy for small business is low," said Bill Rys, tax counsel with the National Federation of Independent Business. In fact, as measured by a monthly survey of federation members that goes back 22 years, "If it's not at an all-time low, it's near an all-time low."
The NFIB survey from September is echoed by other recent polls. Concerns about the economy have reached "an all-time high," according to the American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor, a semi-annual survey of business owners in its seventh year. Pessimism also "is at an all-time high" in fifth annual PNC Economic Outlook survey. And respondents to the National Small Business Association's Midyear Economic Report are "extremely anxious" about the U.S. economy, with nearly 80 percent expecting it to flat-line or enter a recession over the next 12 months.
Small is big
Small business is important to the economy because small business is Americanbusiness. The Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy notes that "small firms," defined as employing fewer than 500 employees (and most employ less than a tenth that many), make up 99.9 percent of the 27.2 million businesses across the nation. They provide about half of all private-sector jobs, generate up to 80 percent of new jobs each year and create more than half of non-farm gross domestic product.
The SBA and the business associations lack the ability to give a real-time picture in empirical terms about how small businesses are faring nationwide. "We can tell you generalized survival rates of business, but it won't be relevant" to what is happening right now, said SBA spokesman John McDowell. That information does not appear until months or years after it was collected.
While studies show that, over time and across different industries, 66 percent of new businesses survive at least two years, 44 percent last at least four years and 31 percent are still around seven years later, "we have no way of knowing about the current situation," McDowell said.
So trade associations, companies like American Express and journalists are left to surveys and anecdotes to fill in the blanks. In responding to such inquiries, the concerns of business owners often focus on weaker sales, higher costs and taxes.
Big variations
These days, given the meltdown in financial markets and the wrangling on Capitol Hill over how to fix it, the credit crunch is getting more attention. But there are wild differences in the various polls and anecdotal accounts from business owners.
For instance, 67 percent of businesses surveyed by the National Small Business Association in August said they had been "impacted by the credit crunch," more than double the 33 percent of a year earlier. But in the PNC survey, taken about the same time, just 25 percent said they were finding it harder to obtain credit, up from 18 percent in the spring.
And NFIB's September survey found that "no evidence of serious credit problems has appeared on Main Street. Regular borrowing activity was reported by 34 percent of the owners, unchanged and typical of readings for the past 15 years." Also, "Only 2 percent of the owners cited the cost and availability of credit as their No. 1 business problem (down 1 point), far from the record 37 percent reached in 1982."
The American Express study, conducted by a credit provider that is currently tightening its lending practices, does not address the crunch.
Scores of business owners who e-mailed msnbc.com offered widely differing accounts of the impact of the financial crisis on their operations.
Wolfe shut the doors of her soy-candle gift shop in tiny Hillsboro, Mo., because "we could no longer get credit to survive this economy." In business for three years with four part-time employees and sales of about $100,000 a year, Wolfe, 42, was braced for the "drought" that has always hit her shop in the summer. This year, however, with gas prices soaring above $4 a gallon and flooding from the nearby Mississippi River wreaking economic havoc across the region, it was too much.
"We always have enough money to get us through" the summer, she said in an interview, "but we really had to start hitting the savings earlier because of the flooding and stuff. … We had a line of credit with our local bank, but we started using it more and more, and we couldn't get more credit. Then we started living off the credit cards, and then nothing was working."
Wolfe, now selling real estate, and her husband, a graphic artist, are working to pay off $40,000 in debt from the failed venture.
His road is paved with credit
At the other end of the spectrum is Jim Roemer, who runs a chauffeured car service in Kaukauna, Wis. He said he has had no trouble obtaining financing to add three vehicles to his fleet this year, including the purchases of a new $46,000 Cadillac DTS and a new Cadillac Escalade on which he received 100 percent financing from GMAC. The deal on the Escalade, valued at $75,000, was finalized Sept. 30.
"It seems hard to believe that the credit markets are so tight based on my own circumstances," Roemer said. "I do not have the greatest credit" after declaring bankruptcy in 2005. "Since then I have gotten four credit cards plus three loans for my business."
Somewhere in between Roemer and Wolfe is Utah baker Brian Smith, who said the credit crunch is "really hurting" his family's business but not threatening its survival. With his parents, Smith operates Pierre Country Bakery, which sells natural breads and pastries to retail customers and 55 wholesale accounts in the Salt Lake City area. The business garners $1 million in annual sales and employs 25 workers.
With prices from suppliers up and sales dropping, Smith, 30, went looking for financing that could help fund expansion and tide the business through its fall slowdown. "We have perfect credit, a score of 770 and you cannot get anything," he said. "They're just kind of like, 'Well, we'll get back to you.'"
He said the tightening credit markets have also made it impossible to consummate a deal to sell the bakery because the prospective buyers, who already own about half the business, cannot obtain financing for the rest. He finds that a real puzzle since the well-known bakery has been in business for 20 years and churns out 500 loaves of bread and 350 pastries a day.
J. Michael Feeks, who spent 30 years in the banking industry and is now a principal in the Bank Experts Group consulting firm, said he doesn't put too much credence in "anecdotal stuff going around" about the impact of the Wall Street meltdown on small business credit lines.
"I'd be very careful of that," he said. "Bankers are very reluctant to do anything that is going to make a situation worse. I just can't imagine too many banks pulling back on the credit lines that are financing receivables, inventories, things like that. That would really hurt the business of the customer and you'd end up with a bad loan."
Location, location, location
Geography also plays a key role in the fate of small business. Credit and revenue concerns are not the same in an Idaho boomtown as they are in a Detroit suburb.
Feeks, who also is the chief financial officer of the tech firm Concurrent Technologies Corp., with 50 employees and $10 million in annual revenue, said his own company has an ample credit line that has not been affected by the economic turmoil.
That's no consolation to former candle maker Wolfe, who said that until she can get up to speed with her real estate career, the credit crunch has moved from the business realm to the home front.
"We are $1,500 in the hole every month," she said. "We are trying desperately to work with our mortgage company to get some relief until this crisis is over."

Assume I have a set of weighted samples, where each samples has a corresponding weight between 0 and 1. I'd like to estimate the parameters of a gaussian mixture distribution that is biased towards the samples with higher weight. In the usual non-weighted case gaussian mixture estimation is done via the EM algorithm. Does anyone know how to modify the algorithm to account for the weights?
If not, can some one give me a hint on how to incorporate the weights in the initial formula of the maximum-log-likelihood formulation of the problem?

Jan 4, 2011
Welcome 2011
The boys are FINALLY back at school (well, the oldest two) and all I want to do is crawl back in bed and hide from the laundry.
BUT, it's a new year and this year, I'm resolved to conquer my laundry dilemma--not let it conquer me. (If I throw away half of all the boys clothes, it would be physically impossible for them to dirty so many, right? RIGHT???)
In other news, my poor little Baby Gray is sick. He has a low fever and cough and is, therefore, not currently the most smiley baby in the world. It makes me realize how spoiled I am that normally he lets me set him down occasionally and plays happily. This week he only wants me to hold him in-between his 5 minute cat naps.
Gabe is also sick with a seriously stuffy nose (the kid refuses to blow his nose!) making him talk with nasal voice (think Ruprecht from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) "Mother? Not Mother? I wanna peanut buttah fandich, Mother!"
My coping mechanism to get me through the long cold winter is the same as it's always been. No, I don't hide in the kitchen with a bottle of liquor (I'd say "Jack" but that would imply I know what I'm talking about and I don't.) No, no, when the kids are sick and the laundry is piled up, I hide in the kitchen and drink...
Hot Chocolate.
And this year, I bought myself this handy little gadget to facilitate my addiction.
The Cocoa-Latte Hot Drink Maker from Back to Basics. I walked into the BX one day and they randomly had two of them. I took one and ran and didn't look back.
My (Japanese cow) milk consumption has increased ten fold as I'm sure my weight will if I stop nursing right now.
Well, my baby wont stop whimpering so I guess that's my cue to call Urgent Care.
...and then I'll make some hot chocolate.

Em, I wish you lived closer... well no I don't cuz' I still want to visit or send Caleb (we seriously spent this weekend looking for his lost 'new' birth certificate, so I could by him a ticket... I wanted to give him a ticket to your house, as his present from Santa... that dang document.)
Anyway, I went to BYU last week and all the Christmas stuff was 50% off, well apparently the Stephan's Mint with Mini Marshmallow Hot Cocoa was considered Christmas stuff, cuz' it was half off and so I bought each big can for $2. I had 6 in my cart when I turned to my friend from out of state, who had never had it, and I said to her "you don't know how good this is and how good of a deal it is... grab some!"
As soon as the nasty penny pinching lady next to me heard me say this, along with the price, she took her arm and scooped all the remaining cans in her basket. ALL! Not even leaving one for my friend. I felt bad and gave her (my friend, not the miser) two of mine...
but that leaves me with FOUR big cans of mint with mini marshmallows... if you were her... or I was there... so I could use your little handy dandy machine!!!
Rock on!
I hung my balls from Jenny! Aren't they gorgeous?!!! I loved your post on yours btw. I will show you a picture of mine in my next post. Although I hung them so I could get window light through them, and everyone likes them, but Rainy woke up to them and went... urgh... why didn't you put them in our glass bowl like Aunt Emily... (the little snot head... I mean angelic little Aunt Em lovin' girl!)

Love ya btw... let me know when you can google chat again. You can call me too. I am going to get a complex if I only call you. JK!

As they gear up to roll out the first sets of 3D TVs into stores, electronics makers have turned to Hollywood to help get the hardware into homes.
Panasonic has paired up with Fox to give away the 3D Blu-ray edition of "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" as an incentive to buy its TVs and Blu-ray players, while Samsung will provide free copies of DreamWorks Animation's "Monsters vs. Aliens," followed by the "Shrek" films. Sony had already been touting its own 3D-at-home technology with "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."
Companies hope that providing consumers with something they can instantly watch on new 3D TVs and Blu-ray players will entice them to pony up the thousands of dollars to buy the hardware.
Panasonic started selling its 3D TVs at Best Buy's store in New York's Union Square on Wednesday, bundling a 50-inch plasma TV, one pair of glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player for $2,900. The glasses alone cost $150, while the 3D TV is $2,500.
Fox won't start offering "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" to Panasonic customers until April. Pic will be its first 3D release on Blu-ray. It has not yet set a release date for the 3D homevid version of "Avatar."
Meanwhile the 3D Blu-ray version of "Monsters vs. Aliens" will be bundled with Samsung Electronics' 46-inch set, two pairs of glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player for $3,000, also starting this week.
As a promotional tool, Samsung will have an exclusive on the 3D Blu-ray versions of all four "Shrek" movies later this year for a full year, while regular versions of the Blu-rays will be available through all retailers.
Rivals LG Electronics will introduce its 3D TVs in stores in May, while Sony will bow its hardware in June, and Vizio in August. The TV sets will be able to switch between 3D and regular 2D.
Partnerships between electronics makers and Hollywood aren't unusual. Bundles of movies with hardware was common when DVD and Blu-ray was introduced, to get consumers to adopt the homevid formats.
Fox had already been working with Panasonic to promote movies, including "Avatar," while DreamWorks Animation has long paired up with high-tech brands to promote its toons.
As studios release more movies in 3D in theaters, their homevideo divisions are hoping that the sale of 3D TVs will take off and help sell higher-priced 3D Blu-rays, as well, significantly boosting profit margins.
It's expected that owners of 3D TVs will seek out other movies to view, and the bundles will remind them of other titles that are worthy of slipping on a pair of 3D glasses.
"There may be a couple of times that are considered game changers in the industry and this is that moment for home entertainment," said Mary Daily, executive VP of marketing for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "Over the last year we have seen 3D invigorate the theatrical experience and it will do the same for the living room."
Naturally, it helps that customers are already fans of the movies being offered.
"Dawn of the Dinosaurs," for example, was a monster hit for Fox, scaring up nearly $2 billion at the worldwide B.O., and moving more than 75 million units on all homevid formats.

~ Alpine Cheese Fondue ~
(from the TasteFood archives, because it's that time of year)
It perplexes me when the subject of cheese fondue comes up, and it's often accompanied by a snide reference to the seventies. I find it sad that this quintessential alpine dish is relegated to a by-gone era evoking images of shag rugs, unfortunate hair and textured bell-bottoms. Certainly this was not intended when the rural inhabitants of Swiss and French mountainous villages devised a warming winter dish incorporating their local cheese and winter staples.
I may be biased. I was never a fan of the seventies, even when I lived in them. Conversely, I am a huge fan of Switzerland. After all, I lived there for 10 years following my stint at cooking school in Paris. My husband and I were married in Switzerland, and our children were born there. As a result, Switzerland holds a special place in our hearts and will always be considered home to our family.
The best way to a country's soul is to experience its cuisine. As an expat in Geneva it was a delicious pleasure to embrace Swiss specialties, namely chocolate and cheese. We'll leave the chocolate for another post. As for the cheese, we enjoyed it in all of its forms, and the Swiss tradition of melting it in deep pots with wine and spirits quickly became a favorite. When we eventually moved from Geneva to London, and then on to Copenhagen, I became more reliant on making my own version of fondue for wintry family dinners to satisfy our wistful cravings.
This recipe has been tweaked and fine-tuned over the years, influenced by taste and available ingredients. In addition to serving it with the usual bread, I like to pass around bowls of parboiled baby potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli florets for dipping.
Alpine Cheese Fondue
Do not skimp on the cheese. Purchase the best quality, cave-aged Swiss or French alpine cheese you can find such as Gruyère, Emmental, Comté, Beaufort. I like to use 2/3 Gruyere and 1/3 Emmental.
Serves 6
1/4 cup Calvados or Poire William brandy
3 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for serving
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 pounds high quality alpine cheese, grated
1 large loaf peasant-style or levain bread, cut in 3/4 inch cubes
Note: Have all of your ingredients ready before you begin. Once you start, the fondue will come together quickly, and during this time it must be constantly stirred. The fondue must not come to a boil during this time.
Combine Calvados, cornstarch, salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and nutmeg in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve the cornstarch. Set aside.
Add wine and garlic to a large heavy saucepan or fondue pot. Heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles form, giving the wine a fizzy appearance without bringing to a boil. Add cheese one handful at a time, stirring constantly until each handful is melted before adding the next – do not let the fondue boil.
Once cheese is added, continue stirring one minute – do not let the fondue boil.
Stir in cornstarch. Continue stirring until mixture thickens to fondue consistency. (I find that some cornstarch brands thicken more easily than others. If your fondue remains thin, add 1 more tablespoon cornstarch diluted with 2 tablespoons white wine.) Remove from heat. Pour cheese into a warm fondue pot if necessary. Serve immediately.
Serve with extra ground pepper, bread and parboiled vegetables such as small potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli florets.

OnlySP writes: Sigh, today's a rather gloomy day in the gaming industry. Long time publisher THQ has been shut down, its assets sold and auctioned off to all new publishers, but one, one very important developer was left behind to die with THQ. Vigil Games.
who you guys think should buy it ?!
Keep changing my mind on this ha. Can't decide who I'd like the IP to go to, I just hope there's another Darksiders sequel some day because really enjoyed Darksiders II.
yeah either them or sony santa monica
i will be happy with both
I don't care, as long as they stay true to the style and gameplay that Darksiders has already.
Likewise, I was hoping Vigil would be kept on for Darksiders. It is their child after all, it's hard to establish a new IP this gen. Not to mention a H&S RPG IP.
i see one of the console makers buying this. i hope its sony but i doubt it
Actually, I can see Sony being interested in buying it.
I would personally be ok with Sony and incorporating them into SCEA. Working alongside the likes of Naughty Dog, Santa Monica etc would be great for everyone.
I think the sort of expertise Vigil can bring to the table will in fact expand Sony's American division as opposed to Vigil being eaten up.
Even Sony's devs don't really work together though.
I can't believe I got so many disagrees. It's true though. Despite all being under Sony, their developers more or less work independently. They are also given an enormous amount of freedom which is why the games lineup is so diverse.
@stragomccloud Look at the credits for some Sony games, you'll see several other Sony devs and a few other devs listed. They may do their own thing, but they helped each other out at times with concepts or different tech ideas.
I guess this is one of them moments in life that just sucks. I was really hoping for someone to pick up the Darksiders IP from THQ...even if that someone were EA.
I loved the first Darksiders (War was awesomely badass) and hoped for a sequel. Darksiders 2 came along and it was also awesome...can I hope for a third one...please??
I'm more disappointed about the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium that they were working on being lost :<
Platinum Games would be the only ones to do it justice. No exclusive company should buy this, that means Nintendo, MS and Sony.
It should be available to all.
Personally i liked the first game better, because i didn't like some of the features DS2 had.
In all fairness, I really thought Warner Bros. would be a great fit for Darksiders.
Yeah, now that i think about it this would be a damn fine fit. I think Square might be a good canidadate aswell though, they've been doing a pretty good job as a publisher lately
4 player co-op...SOMEONE BUY THEM RIGHT NAAAAAOOOOW!!!
I'm sorry but Darksiders is definitely not the kind of game where multiplayer may work.
As much as multiplayer is the norm these days, there are some games that are just better left off as single player games and lose some balance the moment multiplayer is introduced e.g.: Dead Space franchise.
I'd rather have Darksiders remaing single player instead.
I'd buy it. I'd buy 10 copies if they announced it right now.
Platinum games said they'd buy it for the right price.
Didn't like number 2 liked the first one a lot better.
This just makes me terribly sad. Out of all the properties that THQ had Darksiders resonated with me the most. I really hope that something transpires and Vigil Games won't disband as their games are truly enjoyable.
They'll probably show up again with an indie studio, make a game for Sony or someone like that and get bought. For now it sucks but that team was clearly talented, they'll have work.
You mean instead of being fired? Yeah, Im gonna just leave this here.
They didn't know if they ever would due to the sales of Darksiders II.
looks like we wont get a continuation or the ability to play as fury and stife.
I hope they are able to make two more... Complete the four horseman.
I remember when they said before the first one release. They said they want to make a game dedicated to each of the four hoarsemen. I still havn't been interested enough to buy it but thanks to PS+ i'll see how the series plays like.
if there is a darksiders 3 i see them including the last 2 horsemen into one game to finish off the story, unless they are bought by a talent publisher who lets them do the kind of game they want.
i said it before and i will say it again VG working alongside SM studio who do God of war games could be a killer idea
none of the THQ IP's really went for what i thought they would go for, everything was sold pretty cheaply and that's why i am surprised to see neither EA or activision have any part in the auction.
also Capcom could bought few
i think VG will be sold pretty quick too maybe within next 48-72 hrs. no inside news just the feeling i have as a gamer
That sucks, i loved Darksiders and was looking forward to playing DII at some point.
It would be a Great Nintendo Pick-up and the Vigil president is a Nintendo "fan".
I know Darksiders is not Zelda but it could satiate some of the maturer fans during the long waits for New Zelda.
It would also give Nintendo a God of War style game.
No. Bayonetta already went Wii U exclusive, no one wants the same for Darksiders.
Bubble-up "Funny"
I guess it's like me liking and "hating" Sony for having the sense to buy Quantic Dream.
But Better that then have another good gaming company die.
If Sony and Microsoft pick-up Darksiders I would both respect and "hate" it, but I would rather Nintendo do it.
I'd rather a 3rd party company pick up Vigil. Darksiders is the kind of game that wouldn't seem right to have exclusive to one console.
I see your point -
-And I am happy either as a Nintendo Exclusive or Port-
But better it be an exclusive (for some console) than non-existent.
I think Vigil wants to go to Nintendo- they just released this...
Absolute damn shame. Solid action series that deserved to finish its story.
i can see one of these companies pick it up
square enix
warren brothers
Meh, both darksiders games wore out their welcomes pretty quickly for me. They weren't terrible, but not anything I'll cry over.
This is sad. I really enjoyed both Darksiders games...
I would've thought that this series would be a good fit for Warner Brothers as the series is large and deep enough to also become a series of movies.
RIP Vigil.
Maybe one of the big 3 is planning on buying them, but keeping it quiet until its complete.
not sony or microsoft please.
theres no point keeping such a great series exclusive to a platform.
One of my mates loved the 1st game & when I informed him they were making a sequel he kept asking, "when DS2 coming out"?. I would tell him every updated release date I had. Anyhow, release day comes around & he just shrugs & says, "I'll get it when it goes cheaper".
This fake ass gamer played & finished the 1st one FAST, he raved about it to anyone who would listen. I mean, it is one of the few PS3 games he's not only played, but finished (I think Unchartered 1 & 2 are THE ONLY others,.....he only has 4-5 games, & by far Darksiders is the only game I've heard him carry on about since DMC on PS2. He seriously hasn't really shown any excitement for ANY game, but Darksiders since the PS2 classic forementioned, yet, the sequel drops & he still doesn't have the damn thing.
I'm more of a GOW fan, as I find the polish, overall design, story, graphics, gameplay, action setpieces, & pretty much every aspect of Sony's franchise kicks all other similar genres a$$es, but I really like Darksiders also, as I'm a serious gamer & I support EVERY developer I like, from the day they release there titles, & also any games that take my interest from any developer, if the game is decent to great. I find it funny that the self proclaimed, hugest Darksiders fan, fails the games developers by not supporting there game on day 1.....hell, he doesn't buy F.A. games anyway, I have hundreds, & really could, no should, stop buying further games & finish some of the hundreds I've already got, yet, I bought Darksiders 2 on day 1......& every great game since.
So, people like my mate have failed the very developers he's supposed to worship as making the best game of this generation (& yes, this dillusional friend does think Darksiders to be game of the gen). Don't get me wrong, I loved Darksiders, still have my copy of pt.1 & 2, & think Vigil games are awesome, & would have loved at least 2 more games in the series.....but, I am a gamer, & a realistic one, & Darksiders is not even within the top 10 best games of this gen., & I am a huge fan of the series & loved the 1st. But GOW3, GOW:Collection 1&2, Ninja Gaiden 1&2, DmC, Bayonetta are superior offerings in that adventure hack'n'slasher genre alone......then factor in games like Dishonered, Gears, Unchartered, Mortal Kombat, SFIV, Rayman, LBP1&2, COD4 & WAW, Far Cry 3, Killzone 2&3, Mass Effect 1-3, Halo4, Borderlands 1&2, & many, many others are superior accomplishments better games than the awesome Darksiders games. So, that says a lot about how great these other games are....I mean, Skyrim is another, & I'm forgetting a bunch more....Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, Vanquish, NFS:HP& MW, Forza, GT, GTA4, & the list goes on.
And to make matters worse, my mate is a huge nerd for anything SciFi, & I have told him & told him about the ME series & how awesome the story & overall game is (& I'm not a HUGE SciFi fan, I mean, Predator, Aliens, Total Recall, Terminator, & such are some of my most favorite films of all time, but I don't go gaga for SciFi stuff, as evidenced by my disdain for Cameron's overated crap with the huge budget & oversized smurfs) but my mate has all the Stargate series & loves that D grade crap, yep, he claims he's big for Sci Fi, yet he hasn't even heard of the Mass Effect series, let alone knows how great it is.
I mean, it's frustrating, as he is a prime example of what is wrong with casuals, as he won't even support a developer he rates as the best this gen. has had to offer, & he, along with other casuals that are too scared to give something other than Fifa, Madden or COD a try, have helped send these poor bastards broke & jobless.
As I've said in many-er posts before, casual fools ensure the success of games like 50cent:Bulletproof, while actual good games, like Ico, SOTC, BG&E, Psychonauts, Okami & plenty more, are ignored & avoided by moronic casuals, like the plague. Sad, sad world we live.
@black911, as unlikely as that is, it would be a dream come true for Vigil to get another chance, & be teamed up with one of the best developers going in Santa Monica, as they would learn about polish & have far bigger budgets & production values, & I truly believe it would be awesome for both teams, & for future GOW's & Darksiders, as Vigil could help Santa Monica add certain elements, such as clever puzzles to name 1, & vice versa.
It would be awesome to see Darksiders 3 on PS Orbis, under the Sony label, & with good marketing, as well as Darksiders 1&2 included on the disk (with next gen visual enhancements), wow, that would be a dream come true. Especially knowing that Darksiders 3 had Santa Monica's input, to improve the fundamentals, such as combat, level design, character design (as Darksiders biggest fault was the poor enemy design, as none really stand out & stick in your mind after you've finished the game, whereas, GOW has awesome enemy design).
Nice dream, but obviously too late, all over & R.I.P. Vigil.
Anyone besides Activision. I prefer Microsoft.
This may sound stupid, but what is the chances that a fan could buy the IP?
Really really low. The fan would need a small team at least and a lot of money
Bethesda should take Darksiders while Sony should take Saints Row.
I don't understand how no one bid on them. Was there a minimum on them?
I mean Crytek got Homefront for 500k, and Ubisoft got one of their low ball bids through at THQ Montreal for a few million.
Turtle Rock was in the running for their own game at 200k so why didn't Vigil bid on themselves to bring it elsewhere? EA and WB showed interest, but left with nothing, not even a bid on a marketable game?
It just doesn't make sense to me. A lot of smaller assets THQ has went no where, but Darksiders can still expand and do something.... maybe because it wasn't a copy and paste FPS....

From the same stable that brought you the undisputed - and now retired - champion of boxing franchises that was Knockout Kings comes Fight Night 2004, a promising young heavyweight with some devastating new tricks hidden up its gloves. Like the KK titles, it features an array of top boxing talent from all weight divisions - both past and present - including Roy Jones Jr., Shane Moseley, Lennox Lewis, Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Sugar Ray Leonard.
What makes Fight Night a true contender, however, is the unique 'Total Punch Control' system, which utilises the analog stick to deliver a much more natural-feeling blow. You'll also be able to duck, weave, block and counter punches from your opponent with the new, fully analog defence system.
You'll need to make the most of this flexible new system if you want to succeed in the challenging career mode, where you'll work hard to fight your way up from low-ranking chump to millionaire champ.
In a similar fashion to EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour series' 'Total Precision Swing' technique, Total Punch Control KOs digital button presses and gives you access to a full array of devastating straights, hooks and body blows using only the DualShock's right analog stick and shoulder buttons. Push the stick in a smooth diagonally up-left or up-right motion and you'll throw jabs; roll a quarter-circle from either side to forward for head-rattling hooks; sweep a full half-circle in either direction for chin-shattering uppercuts. To aim for the body, just combine these movements with a press of the L1 button.
Of course it's not going to be a one-sided fight, so you're going to have to learn to deal with your opponent's offence: move the left stick with L1 pressed and you'll gracefully sway out of the way of incoming punches, while combining R1 and the right analog stick lets you block and parry with ease.
This innovative gameplay is reinforced by EA Sports' now-trademark high production values: slick menus and licensed tunes from big name hip-hop MCs greet you before you've even entered the ring, and there's a deep, detailed create-a-boxer mode that will keep you occupied for hours. The standard continues once you've stepped into the squared circle, with uncannily authentic recreations of boxing's most familiar faces, slick replays, horrendously realistic facial damage, fully-animated 3D crowds and an eclectic array of highly-detailed arenas.

LITCHFIELD >>> Brittany Larson, the former Glenholme School staff member accused in October 2011 of having sexual affair with a 16-year-old student, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of second-degree sexual assault.
She won't be sentenced for a few more months, but an agreement with prosecutors could bring a sentence of nine months with 10 years suspended and 10 years of probation.
At the time of her unlawful liaison, Larson was a 27-year-old married worker at the therapeutic boarding school for students with learning differences. Furthermore at the time of her arrest she was pregnant and in her third trimester.
Her latest court appearance was surprisingly terse, especially since in June last year she turned down a plea deal that would've meant a 10-year sentence suspended after 15 months.
According to an affidavit, staff members at the school for 10- to 18-year olds became suspicious of an inappropriate relationship after discovering steamy online interactions on the victim's Facebook page. The school reported the matter to authorities and terminated Larson's employment.
Larson told authorities the relationship between her and the student turned intimate in June 2011 and that she set up a secret facebook page to communicate discreetly. The victim reportedly told police the encounters took place on campus in multiple locations.
Ms. Larson will return for sentencing April 30, 2013.

Hi All,
I was sent this video by David Doyle and it shows how a young girl successfully prevented her own kidnapping. The topic children's awareness / self-protection comes up here from time to time and I felt the video would be of interest and may prompt an interesting discussion of these issues.
A 7-year-old girl remembered her stranger danger training and was able to get away from a man who tried to abduct her Wednesday at a Walmart store, police said …
All the best,

Hi, I was wondering if maybe we could have chat here or is that a bad idea?--Red Sand (talk) 23:58, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
Hey it's me, GoDai, dropping in in a looooong while. Kishi finally decided to make another move in the natures area with Magnetism Release, and it seems we were right about the Iron Sand-based abilities being a nature with the "magnetic quality of chakra" in the first place eh. My long break from editing and such let me see the bigger picture of natures, and I developped a slightly less intensive view on the natures subject (The triple combinations still disappoint me, but whatever.). I like how your theory has developped while I was gone, although I'm not sure if Kishi would use things like Health and Dawn, but most of them do seem quite unique. Have you considered making small explanations of the effects of the theoretical natures, or what a basic technique would look like and do? While the explanation for the justification of the composition of the nature is well-written, some natures seem to be getting too complicated (which I guess would make sense with the inclusion of more elements, but I hope you know what I mean). For example, there are so many possible combinations for Water+Wind and Earth+Water, but Kishi specifically chose Ice and Wood (which wouldn't actually be my first guesses, more like Cloud and Tar), probably for a specific reason (probably for unique appearance/effects, Ice and Wood both often being called classical elements, and practicality in battle and other situations). I hope that helps your theory in any way. --GoDai (talk) 07:22, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
I also noticed your sand theory, and it seems to sum it nicely, and I think similarly. After all our doubts, explosive and magnetic chakras were indeed nature transformations (Logically, they do literally change the behavior of chakra), and now, it seems even almost likely that sand manipulation will be revealed as a nature transformation, although Kishi seems reluctant to outright say that it is a nature at the moment, and Gaara's father continuously mentions "Shukaku's power." My idea at the current moment is that:
- "Shukaku's chakra," whatever special properties it possesses, somehow allows Gaara to manipulate sand the same way "magnetic chakra" allows the user to manipulate Iron Sand. Both cases cannot produce the material being manipulated, but only convert chakra into the force in order to manipulate that material. So instead of being "Sand Release" it would be something more like "<Insert Sand-manipulating force here> Release." This also means it may not be a nature at all, but rather something more similar to what we have seen with ink.
I'm not sure, but just pointing out that because it's "Magnetism Release" instead of "Metal Release," so intead of "Sand Release" it may be some form of chakra that controls sand. Another theory I have is:
- Shukaku has greater mastery over the supposed nature transformation, and he can produce ("manifest" as you say) sand from his body (out of chakra), but Gaara, having "received" Shukaku's abilties, is limited to controlling existing sand.
Just mainly throwing out ideas. Your kanji for "Pulse Release" spell "Motion Release," although changing it would make it "Wave Release." Not sure how to solve that one. Some ideas I had, you might wanna get the kanji checked though:
- Water + Wind + Yin = Fluid (流 "flow"; liquids and gases are fluids, and it involves form. Also could represent a fluid mind.)
- Water + Wind + Yang = Shatter (破 "shatter"; not the best idea, but i thought of freezing and shattering the target all in an instant.)
- Wind + Earth + Yang = Gravity (重 "heavy/weight"; Wind is a physical energy-based nature and relates to atmospheric pressure, and Earth obviously represents large mass in this case. The Yang is also present for the physical mass factor, although Yin could fit with the "pull" theme involved in some cultures. Fire and Lightning were avoided due to them being related to electromagnetic energies. I know Nagato used a similar ability, but I imagine a nature based on weight, centered on the Earth, rather than attraction/repulsion centered on the user.)
I'll think of other ones later, and these ideas are only ideas. --GoDai (talk) 07:23, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Allow me to butt in: Maybe Gaara and his sand's the same as Rōshi and his Yōton. We don't have a confirmed nature for wind and earth yet. Gaaras can use Fūton and sand is almost like earth. Maybe he learned it through the Shukaku. Just saying. Seelentau 愛議 21:02, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
- I've read your theories already and I must say, they're pretty well made. Impressive job :) Also, thanks for fixing that mistake^^ Dou you have any other videos I can help you out with? Seelentau 愛議 00:05, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah it's likely that Sand Release will become a reality. Most of my theories are outdated now, but I'll get to them some day. A recent idea I've had is the similarity between Wood, Crystal (although anime-only), and Magnetism Release, and possibly sand manipulation. They all seeming cannot produce their element out of nowhere. Wood is generated from the user or the ground by converting chakra into "life forces," Crystal couldn't crystallize chakra, but crystallized other matter by converting chakra into some form of crytallizing energy, and magnetism doesn't do much on its own but manipulates objects by converting chakra into magnetic forces. Sand Release may end up as something similar, as it seems Gaara cannot convert chakra into sand but uses chakra to control sand and also produces sand out of earth by using already-existing sand. It's also good to notice that while only one Wind Release technique that Shukaku uses seems to use sand, a large part of Gaara's techniques involve pressure, a concept closely tied to Wind. And "videos"? :P --GoDai (talk) 04:39, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Umm We've been changin trivia but iThink we need to come to agreement. The Fourth kazekage did not manipulate sand, it was Gold dust. The only known shinobi who did show forms of sand manipulation were the third and fifth kazekage. —This unsigned comment was made by IKiddMarss (talk • contribs) .

Re: Cards and games
I don't have any solid information on this subject, but to me it has always seemed as if the card games took the names from the manga, anime, and apparently also games, rather than vice versa. I could easily be wrong though. Perhaps it's possible to check release dates… —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 11:02, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Blood Prison info?
I can't really say if there's any new information in there, as I haven't a clue what the old information is ^^
The advert is for the novelisation of the film, though. It talks about Naruto being a prisoner in an inescapable prison and introduces some guy named Mui (無為, Literally meaning: inactivity), who is the master of the Demon Lamp Castle (鬼燈城, Hōzukijō).
It also has a short dialogue:
- Naruto: "Dammit… What the hell is this 'Heavenly Prison' technique?" (「くそ…なんなんだ、この天牢って術はよ」, "Kuso… Nan nanda, kono Tenrō tte jutsu wa yo")
- Mui: "It's our clan's Imprisonment Technique. One this technique formula has been carved, you will no longer be able to mould chakra." (「我らが一族の禁錮術だ。その術式が刻まれているかぎり、きみはチャクラを練ることはできない」, "Warera ga ichizoku no Kingojutsu da. Sono jutsushiki ga kizamarete iru kagiri, kimi wa chakura o neru koto wa dekinai")

Magnetism Release!

The magnet issue
磁 Ji really just means magnet. 磁性 Jisei means magnetism. Hence it is magnet release :) Seelentau 愛議 00:07, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Well, 磁力 can mean magnetic power or magnetism, as you said. I don't know why the Japanese even have separate wikipedia articles for magnetism, but I doubt there's that much of a difference. Magnetic power is what magnetism is. It should be changed, anyways, since 磁力 is more official. Also, the term 磁性 Jisei was never used in the raw. Seelentau 愛議 00:24, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- 磁石 Jishaku literally means magnet stone. It can mean magnet, yes. But it can also refer to magnetic iron ore. I think 磁石 Jishaku is used when they talk about magnetic things, while 磁力 Jiryoku is used when they talk about the magnetic force, that what makes the things magnetic.

Sand Classification as a Tool
I know this has been mentioned countless times, but I would still like to try to classify sand techniques as one group. An idea I have now is to create a page for the tool, "sand." I know this brings up arguments such as that sand is everywhere and naturally occurring just like earth and water, but it is one way to similarize the pages for sand manipulation techniques, Iron Sand techniques, and Gold Dust techniques. Calling sand a tool would primarily refer to how Gaara carries around sand in a gourd and uses sand for his techniques, which is better than other grouping ideas that have been mentioned before. Thanks. --GoDai (talk) 06:44, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh I see. Well infusing chakra into sand sounds like an ability or technique rather than a tool on its own, but I think we should create the page if no one opposes it; it would also please people who would like to see an organized page of sand techniques.--GoDai (talk) 19:45, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm ok then. If such a page was created, would we be adding it to all of the pages that utilize sand, or just the ones that use only the sand inside Gaara's gourd specifically? --GoDai (talk) 20:00, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- In chapter 249 on page 15, Deidara calls it 特別製の砂 Tokubetsu Sei no Suna. Seelentau 愛議 23:40, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Gaara's sand
Yeah, 特別製の砂 means something like 'special-made sand'. Why limit the page to that, though? Gaara uses normal sand as well and there have been instances of sand being used as a tool by others like Kankurō.
I can't remember any other term being used for Gaara's sand, though. I'll check the manga and the databooks to make sure, but I think it has almost always simply been referred to as 'sand'. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 23:27, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Madara's Sharingan
Why do you keep changing deleting the information about Madara's Sharingan ending Konan's life? He clearly says "when the genjutsu ends, so will you" meaning his genjutsu is what ended her life. --Axel Carnage (talk) 03:04, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
That wouldn't make any logical sense. Why would he physically kill her after he used a genjutsu on her that made her reveal where the Rinnegan was if she was already incapacitated? Not to mention she was already severely wounded by the pipe that Madara used to impale her. The genjutsu was just the finishing move regardless of however "powerful" it was. Plus this is Madara we're talking about whom was able to completely control Yagura which makes it evident that he is very talented in genjutsu. Not to mention her eyes closed right after he said those words which implies that she is indeed dead. If you look at Chapter 511, page 4 there are no other signs of wounds on her body aside from the aforementioned pole wound. I think it makes sense to just assume he finished her off with a genjutsu regardless if no one has been previously killed by it or not, it was a small finishing move. Oh I forgot to mention he can also correctly use Izanagi (which Danzo failed at) which is said to be the most powerful genjutsu. --Axel Carnage (talk) 03:21, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
I already stated that it doesn't matter how "powerful" said genjutsu is because it was a finishing move. You have to keep in mind he's Madara Uchiha - the leader of the Uchiha clan and the most powerful of them, said to be stronger than Itachi who you mentioned used Tsukiyomi on more than one occasion but never resulted in a casuality but as Itachi himself said he was an "invincible immortal", the first to awaken the Mankgeyo Sharingan as well as the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan , deemed immortal by Tsunade herself, the hidden main antagonist of the series, and I severely doubt he is incapable of finishing off an enemy with an genjutsu technique. Just because no one has been killed off by a genjutsu doesn't mean there isn't a first time. Madara was the first and only one shown so far to control the Nine-tails with his Sharingan which is the first time for said feat. There is literally no other way to show that his genjutsu killed her off unless he were to openly say "HAHA my genjutsu has killed her!" Plus we have seen that Madara is not much of a physical fighter at this point. He uses his Sharingan to fight all of his opponents in his current state; you're looking too much at the historical facts and not at what's right in front of you. --Axel Carnage (talk) 03:53, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
Itachi did indeed say he was a shell of his former self. However, he also stated that his eyes and its power were still alive to this day. This is why I hate wikias...I provide literal evidence that practically says he killed Konan with genjutsu but you faggots find some way to beat around the bush and only look at past events. You're disregarding me because you think I'm just giving Madara praise because he is badass. Well if you look at who he is as a character, he's the first to do many things with his Sharingan and I have no goddamn clue why you couldn't just accept that he was the first to perform a fatality with a genjutsu. Madara would be saying redundant things if he was only talking about using his genjutsu to reveal where the Rinnegan. If he had only wanted to use his genjutsu for information he would have worded it something to similar as: "This genjutsu will tell me where you hid the Rinnegan and afterwards, I'll end your life." But no, he said her LIFE would end and THEN talked about gaining information on the whereabouts of the Rinnegan. It isn't speculation; the wording he used is literal evidence. --Axel Carnage (talk) 04:23, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Kekkei Tōta
I've been thinking of what could be a kekkei tōta, mostly based on what Shikaku said about it. It suggests that no other kekkei tōta is widely known. So I was thinking something like Crystal Release could be one (I don't recall it being called a kekkei genkai), although that raises the problematic question of "Why didn't Guren utilize any of its component natures?" At the same time, although very unlikely, Sasuke's Blaze Release could be some kind of Fire+ Lightning+Yin kind of thing, assuming that it is a newly-developped ability, or simply unknown to most of the world (also taking into account of the mention that Mangekyō Sharingan users have unique abilities, except Madara). I don't personally believe this, but it's a possibility. --GoDai (talk) 05:29, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah. I developed the idea of Crystal being a kekkei tōta soon after the concept was revealed, and after I realized it was never called a kekkei genkai, we simply labeled it so due to it being an advanced nature. Also, another crazy possibility is that the Deva Path, which is called 天道 Tendo (Heaven Path), has the ability to use 天遁 (Tenton; Heaven Release), which allows the user to manipulate "heavenly forces." Although this sounds way out there, all we know about the Six Paths is based on the limited info given and what we have seen, and "the Six Paths abilities" have not been outright labeled, meaning there is the tiny possibility of the Deva Path specifically having the ability to use thsi hypothetical nature. I got this idea after Kishi revealed "explosive chakra" and "magnetic chakra" to be natures, something most of us had seen as a possibility, but feared at the same time. Considering how Kishi names the kanji for the natures, Wind+Lightning=Heaven could make a lot of sense, although not appealing either. --GoDai (talk) 19:55, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
Elemental Composition
Omnibender, you probably at least know who I am, right? Well, I'm an admin on Sonic Fanon Wiki, which has pages for elements and elemental techniques as well. The SFW takes inspiration (and to a lesser degree techniques) from the elemental Natures of Naruto. I saw the tremendous amount of work you put into the charts and description of all of the advanced natures you described, both canon and ones from your own imagination. As such, it would be a big help- heck, even an honor- if you could come to Sonic Fanon Wiki and look over our own element pages. I myself have put quite a bit of work into each of them, and critique from someone such as yourself would be much apreciated.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 01:12, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
Very well. On Sonic Fanon Wiki, there are ten base elements: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Ice, Electricity, Light, Darkness, Poison, and Nature. Each article is marked by the name of the element, followed by "(Element)", such as Fire (Element). Each of these have nine combination elements, as well as a few advanced elements; such examples of advanced elements would be Napalm and Blood. While the ten base elements have been created and a few advanced elements as well, not all of them have a great amount of detail. However, I hope there is enough for you to judge and give an idea of how to improve them.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 02:03, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
Blood was going to be Water/Dark, but I talked to the person who thought of it, not really seeing how the "Darkness" was part of it. Stratos was a very difficult element for me to work with, because Ice and Electricity; not a lot you can do when combining those. I gave it the name Stratos because it had some sort of relevence to the combination itself. Unfortunately, what that is specifically I can't properly remember. And as the person who has written most of these elements, I do concede that we do an "add and mix" style. I do it like that to make sure that the advanced element takes traits from both of its base elements in order to become unique. Take the newly written Solar element (Fire/Light) as an example of this. As for the names: while I write the descriptions with the upmost detail I can offer, I don't come up with the names. The only ones I came up with (which I remember) are Frostbite (Ice/Poison), Hellfyre (Fire/Darkness), Stratos, Nimbus, and maybe Neuro. Right now that's all I can remember. You see, while I'm a very imaginative person, names are a very crippling weakness of mine. So if I think I have a better name I share my thoughts, but otherwise I leave it to the others who work on the elements. I can only speculate on Permafrost and Wraith (due to the fact that no-one's written them yet), but Neuro reflects the fact that the combination is used to attack the nerves, something both electricity and poison are capable of doing to a lesser degree, but which Neuro specializes in. So, Neuro takes its name from things like neurosurgery. As for the names; while the names themselves bring to mind very similar subjects, the elements that make them up make them up would allow the elements to be distinctly different. How exactly, will have to wait until I or someone else writes them up. Now Poison and Venom are different; Poison covers a spectrum of toxins, gasses, and whatnot. However, while I admittedly wrote Poison as having a wide variety of effects, it focuses on inhibiting and poisoning the body. If you know Pokemon, it's similar to that. Venom I imagine would be similar to real-world Venoms, attacking the body and nervous system in various ways as it enters the body, focusing on the offense that Poison lacks. Any other critiques and suggestions?--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 19:55, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Mizukage about Yin Release
I didn't know there were raw pages out already…
Mr Awesome says:
- "I'm a Yin Release… in other words, a genjutsu user!" (「オレは陰遁…つまり幻術使いだ!」, "Ore wa Inton… tsumari genjutsu tsukai da!")
Basically, the way he's talking indicates that there is little to no difference between Inton and genjutsu. He's talking as if (practically all) Inton techniques are genjutsu. An Inton user equals a genjutsu user to him.
However, nothing indicates that the opposite is true. All Inton might be genjutsu, but all genjutsu are not necessarily Inton. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 19:30, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Great Toad Sage
You're correct. Not only do we not know whether the prophecy refers to Itachi or Sasuke, it could also be a reference to Nagato. So, taking out the link entirely makes sense. Alternatively, you could link to all three. In any case, I think the current fight in the manga gives me the feeling that Naruto and Sasuke will not fight. With that as a distinct possibility, the prophecy definitely should not point to Sasuke.

Re: Fire Lightning and Water
According to my dictionary:
- 斎戒 refers to religious purification of mind and body through abstinence and fasting.
- 精製 refers to the purification of substances (oil, salt, cotton, etc.) by removing the impurities.
- 浄化 refers to purifying things (anything from societies to the mind to populations) by bringing them to an clean, ideal state, thus removing al evil, unclean, and unwanted elements.
- 純化 is basically a combination of 精製 and 浄化.
For an element, I would go with either 浄化 or 純化, as these are closest to the meaning I believe you are trying to convey. Use 浄化 if you want a more religious connotation (e.g. 浄土仏教) and 純化 if you want a more materialistic, earthly connotation (e.g. 純水). —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 17:05, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Itachi and Kisame about Jiraiya
This seems to be one of the most controversial pages in the entire series. I'm sure I've been asked to translate it at least a few dozen times now…
Anyway, here's
- Kisame: "He's an opponent you might somehow be able to beat, but for me, I don't know… He's a different level." (「アナタならどうにかこうにかやれる相手でも私じゃあ分かりませんよ…次元が違う。」, "Anata nara dō ni ka kō ni ka yareru aite demo watashi jaa wakarimasen yo… Jigen ga chigau.")
- Itachi: "Yeah… If we were to fight him, we might both be killed. If things go well, it might become a tie. this probably won't change if we were to increase our numbers." (「ああ…やり合えば二人共殺されるか。良くて相打ちというところ…たとえ人数を増やしたとしても変わらないだろう。」, "Aa… yariaeba futaritomo korosareru ka. Yokute aiuchi to iu tokoro …Tatoe ninzū o fuyashita toshite mo kawaranai darō.")
- Kisame: "It was good that we finally found him at the ramen shop, but… his babysitter is of those 'Legendary Three Shinobi'. With him as our opponent, even the names of Konoha's Uchiha clan and Kiri's Seven Shinobi Swordsmen would be overshadowed." (「ラーメン屋で やっと見付けたはいいが…お守りが あの"伝説の三忍"とは。彼が相手では"木ノ葉のうちは一族"も"霧の忍刀七人衆"の名もかすんでしまう。」, "Rāmenya de yatto mitsuketa wa ii ga… Omori ga ano 'Densetsu no Sannin' to wa. Kare ga aite de wa 'Konoha no Uchiha Ichizoku' mo 'Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichininshū' no na mo kasunde shimau.")
- Itachi: "Yeah… But…" (「ああ…しかし……」, "Aa… Shikashi……")
- Kisame: "…" (「………」, "………")
- Itachi: "No matter how strong a person is, he will have a weakness…" (「どんな強者にも弱点というのがあるものだ……」, "Donna kyōsha ni mo jakuten to iu no ga aru mono da……")
The anime is basically the same, except somewhat shorter. They removed the "kō ni ka" part from Kisame's first line, which doesn't change the meaning, and the part where Ksiame says: "It was good that we finally found him at the ramen shop, but…" —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 15:06, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique edit
Minato summoned Gamabunta on the ground and then he jumped onto the Nine-Tails. So it was just the summoning technique. Use of the Food Cart Destroyer technique summons the toad in the air and has it fall on its target. Gamabunta was summoned on the ground and jumped onto the Nine-Tails, so it wasn't the same technique. The Fox King(email@example.com (talk) 16:47, August 7, 2011 (UTC))
Hello Omnibender, mind if I ask you that if it's alright that I can upload an image to use as my sig?--White Flash 18px (talk) 17:09, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
itachi abilities article kinda makes him look unimpressive on narutopedia
That section in Itachi's talkpage has technically been resolved with me adding a negative to jiraiya's ability section and Shoun's translation on the matter, yet they are still arguing about it. I see no point to let this section continue at this point,we shouldn't just let this section go on forever because it has turned into a forum for anonymous members to post personal unbacked opinions. And that is all they are trying to do; get their personal fan wank and speculation into the article.Umishiru (talk) 19:33, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Recent "new editors"
Yeah. Should we lock Narutopedia for newcomers? Jacce | Talk | Contributions 04:47, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused, what is semantic wikia? I'll stop adding now since I noticed you deleted the category. Ty (talk) 21:17, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Woah that's a cool feature, I gotta learn to copy it for other wikias, seems like a timesaver. Though I guess I'd have to design an infobox that's uniformly detailed for it to work. Ty (talk) 21:29, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
Do you have Yahoo messenger?I know the wiki tried a chat room at one time but it never worked for me.Umishiru (talk) 23:47, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
You should try it, just google online yahoo messenger.Umishiru (talk) 02:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
Hi Omnibender, do you know anybody here who is good with translation?--White Flash (talk) 17:09, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, thanks.--White Flash (talk) 17:24, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
I don't seem to have the issue, which internet browser are you using? Maybe try to explain how to reproduce it again, I tried having two slideshows in two different internet tabs and waiting a bit and switching back, and it seemed like ~7 seconds still between transition.
