Running back Dion Lewis was a Browns training camp sensation before breaking a leg.
The Browns go to Cincinnati without Trent Richardson and Montario Hardesty. They will never be back.
They also head for the Ohio River without Dion Lewis. He'll be back. He said so today, the first time he talked in public about his ruined season since breaking a leg on Aug. 15 against Detroit.
Lewis, acquired in an offseason trade with the Eagles, was shaping up as a sensational sidekick at running back to Richardson.
Shortly before the Detroit game turned to disaster, he broke off a 31-yard run. He had been a training camp star who seemed born to run in coordinator Norv Turner's system.
"(Turner) knows how to use me," Lewis said today. "He puts me in great spots, spots where I'm comfortable."
He spoke in the present tense, even though he was placed on injured reserve in late August and only got a boot off his healing leg two weeks ago.
The 5-foot-8, 195-pound speedster still hasn't gotten the moment of his injury — he had helped the Browns jump to a 17-0 lead over the Lions — out of his head.
"That was actually the first time I couldn't get up from something," the former Pitt Panther said. "When I couldn't get up, I knew something was wrong."
The Browns called it a fractured fibula.
"It was my lower leg and my ankle," Lewis said. "I feel fine now and I'll be back better than ever."
He said he expects to be full go for spring practice.
The Browns went to camp with Richardson as the unquestioned No. 1, and Lewis battling Hardesty for a meaningful role.
Lewis and Richardson wound up on injured reserve, and Hardesty eventually was released. After the second game of the regular season, Richardson was shipped to the Colts.
"I think it took everybody by surprise," Lewis said. "When I first heard it, I thought it was ... a joke."
It was no joke. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2012 draft was gone.
"Knowing he was traded and I couldn't do nothing about it ... that was hard," Lewis said.
Lewis has youth on his side. He won't turn 24 until the first month of the 2014 season.
He says he received "a lot of calls from a lot of people" in the Browns organization while he was on the mend.
"There's great support system here," he said. "You can definitely tell they want me to be here. I want to be here.
"I like where the team is heading."

Philip Michael Thomas
Philip Michael Thomas is an actor best known for his role as Detective Ricardo Tubbs in the mid mid-late 1980s TV show, Miami Vice. Although Thomas was a well-known actor at the height of popularity for Miami Vice, his career essentially ended with the show's cancellation in 1990 and he has not had any notable roles in the last two decades.
Thomas was born on May 26, 1949 and broke into acting in his early 20s in the 1970s. His first role was in the 1972 blaxploitation film, "Come Back, Charleston Blue" where he had a minor role as a minister. Thomas followed with small roles over the next 10-15 years in films such as Stigma, Book of Numbers, Bogart, Coonskin and in TV shows such as Griff, Good Times, Toma, The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, and Trapper John, M.D.
Thomas finally caught his big break when he was cast as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on the hit TV show Miami Vice in 1984. Although co-star Don Johnson was the biggest star of Miami Vice, Thomas was popular and achieved his own acclaim. Among Miami Vice fans, Thomas was known affectionately as "the scuzzy black guy on Miami Vice."
On Miami Vice, Thomas played Miami undercover police detective Ricardo Tubbs, a former NYPD police officer who traveled to Miami to find the person who killed his brother, Rafael Tubbs. While in Miami Tubbs encountered another undercover cop, Sonny Crockett (played by Don Johnson), who is also looking for the same person.
Miami Vice was a popular show and was renowned for its heavy integration of music and visual effects to tell a story. Miami Vice also heavily influenced mid-80s fashion as male fans started dressing in hot pink or teal t-shirts with white pants or white sports coats.
Thomas was well-known for possibly possessing the greasiest-looking skin and hair in all of Hollywood. Here are some pictures of Thomas looking his greasiest - I bet his entire face and hair would ignite in flames if someone had lit a match within 5 feet of him when these photos were taken:
Thomas was known for having a massive ego. During a mid-1980s Academy Awards ceremony, Thomas wore a gaudy gold medallion emblazoned with the letters "EGOT," which stands for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony." During a 1984 interview, Thomas said, "Hopefully in the next five years I will win all of those awards." Despite his massive career aspirations, Thomas neither won nor was nominated for any of these awards.
After the cancellation of Miami Vice in 1990, Thomas struggled to find steady work. He appeared in a number of crappy made-for-TV movies and had non-recurring roles on TV shows such as The Adventures of Superboy, Zorro, Swamp Thing, and Nash Bridges.
Thomas has also sunk his teeth into a singing career. Thomas recorded a music album entitled Living the Book of My Life in 1985. However, the album sold poorly and failed to produce a hit single. Thomas performed the title song of his album during the 1985 episode of Miami Vice entitled The Maze.
Thomas released his second album, entitled Somebody, in 1988. Somebody also sold poorly and failed to produce a hit. In 1993, Thomas collaborated with Kathy Rahill to compose My, My, Miam...i, which was chosen as the city of Miami's theme song.
Thomas later joined forces with Jamaican fitness instructor Sandi Morais to compose songs for a family-friendly musical entitled Sacha, which enjoyed runs in south Florida and New York. Thomas also produced music for Morais' fitness videos in 2001 and 2006.
Cementing his image as a washed-up celebrity and apparently desperate for a steady stream on income, in 1994 Thomas entered into a contractual agreement with the Florida-based Psychic Reader's Network (later known as Traffix, Inc.) to become the spokesman for the Philip Michael Thomas Psychic Connection. He appeared in TV ads dressed in a wardrobe similar to that of his Miami Vice Ricardo Tubbs character, opening the ads with the phrase, "From Miami Vice to world advice!"
Traffix later replaced Thomas with Miss Cleo. Thomas sued for breach of contract and won. In 2002 a New York arbitrator awarded Thomas $1.48 million for improper use of his name and likeness and an additional $780,000 in interest.
Having sunk from a headline actor on Miami Vice to the spokesman for a physic network by 1994, fans of Thomas must have thought that the actor's career couldn't possibly sink any lower. However, fans were wrong - according to the Internet Movie Database, Thomas's only role since 2003 was a voice-over role for the video game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Philip Michael Thomas struggled in Hollywood for years until finally catching his big break when he was cast as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on Miami Vice. Thomas fought the odds to become a success despite possessing arguably the greasiest skin and hair in all of Hollywood. However, Thomas's career quickly plummeted after the cancellation of Miami Vice as quickly as it rose during the mid-1980s. Now, the actor would be fortunate to be cast in an infomercial. All of this makes Philip Michael Thomas one washed-up celebrity!

Hello all, this is my first post and thanks for any and all replies. I am teaching myself Java from books/tutorials and videos on the internet. I have a fundamental question; In the following code, is it possible to declare the variables (canvasWidth & canvasHeight)
at the beginning, so as to declare them just one time. All this program does is print a target in the center of the screen. I have commented out where I attempted to do this, but the sub-methods (?) did not recognize the variables. I realize this is Java 101, but I am very new to Java and still trying to understand the basics. Once again, thanks for all replies.
/* * File: Target.java * Name: * Section Leader: * ----------------- * This file is the starter file for the Target problem. */ import acm.graphics.*; import acm.program.*; import java.awt.*; import acm.graphics.GCanvas.*; // This program places a target in the center of the screen. public class Target extends GraphicsProgram { public void run() { // double canvasWidth = getWidth(); // double canvasHeight = getHeight(); // System.out.println ("width: "+canvasWidth+" Height: "+canvasHeight); outerRing(); midRing(); bullsEye(); } //Places outer ring of target public void outerRing() { double canvasWidth = getWidth(); double canvasHeight = getHeight(); GOval outerRing = new GOval((canvasWidth/2-36), (canvasHeight/2-36), 72, 72); outerRing.setColor (Color.red); outerRing.setFillColor(Color.red); outerRing.setFilled(true); GRectangle bounds = outerRing.getBounds(); // println ("outerRing bounds: " + bounds); add (outerRing); } //Places next ring of target public void midRing() { double canvasWidth = getWidth(); double canvasHeight = getHeight(); GOval midRing = new GOval((canvasWidth/2)-(36*.65), (canvasHeight/2-(36*.65)), 72*.65, 72*.65); midRing.setColor (Color.white); midRing.setFillColor(Color.white); midRing.setFilled(true); add (midRing); } // Places bullseye on target public void bullsEye() { double canvasWidth = getWidth(); double canvasHeight = getHeight(); GOval bullsEye = new GOval((canvasWidth/2)-(36*.3), (canvasHeight/2-(36*.3)), 72*.3, 72*.3); bullsEye.setColor (Color.red); bullsEye.setFillColor(Color.red); bullsEye.setFilled(true); add (bullsEye); } }

Recently we found new apps in alternative Chinese markets that we are considering a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA). We are calling these apps Android.PUA.SMS.QuickPay. Lets look at a sample of this app. The sample we will look at is an app called "Screen Detection" which is an app that helps find dead pixels on your screen by displaying the colors red, green, blue, black, and white making it easy to see the dead pixel in contrast to these colors. Pretty simple app. Within a few seconds of opening the app this message pops up:
"Activate the full version, charges 2 Yuan, sending an SMS, 2 /. Customer Service Phone :010 -84681340-8035"
This app has limited functionality before requesting a premium SMS be sent for the full version, and that limited functionality only lasts a few seconds. If you do not agree to sending the premium SMS the app will just keep asking you to activate the full version whenever you click. Once you agree to the message it turns on your Wifi if not already on (Okay, that's a little fishy), and sends a premium text message. After that the app works. Two Yuan is about 32 US cents, so people may just pay the small fee instead of spending the time to find a free version; which with a simple app that only shows four different colors as it's functionality you would think there is something out there in the Chinese android market that will do the same for free.
It may not seem like much, but two Yuan at a time these guys are making a fortune off of apps that should be free. This is only one sample, there are several more very simple apps that we found that do various things, but all ask for a payment for it to function. Although there are legitimate Android Box apps out there, these apps are different in that they have very limited functionality, are signed by a different developer, and exploits simple apps that should be free by requesting payment for full versions before you even have a chance to see what it does.
Remember to always download from apps from a trusted source and be weary of messages asking to pay money for the full version so quick on the draw.

Re: The sendai catastrophy Kishimoto is OK
Don't you worry about Kishimoto-sensei. It is highly doubtful he would have been anywhere near the worst-affected regions at the time of the earthquake. The earthquake and tsunami mostly affected the Tōhoku region in north–eastern Japan, whereas Kishimoto-sensei lives in Okayama prefecture in the south–west. Of course there isn't a single region in Japan that wasn't affected — the entire country moved by 2.5 metres — but this shouldn't have affected Kishimoto-sensei's hometown any more than a regular earthquake would have done. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:06, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I heard about the tsunami and the earthquake, too! God, I was so freaked out when I heard about that! I thought all of our dearly anime, manga, and video games creators were gone forever! I heard lost of people died in the place and the people in Japan are still in distress.
YamatoTakeru, in Kishimoto-sama's discussion page here on the Narutopedia, you said you sent him an e-mail? What is it? I want to contact Kishimoto-sama, too, to see if he's all right.
Rumors going around that he is dead, despite that I did research about the disaster in Japan. Okayama wasn't affected, according from what I read from this. Although, I heard Tokyo was part of in the diaster. I hope everything in Japan is going to be okay. The US is trying to help them, so that's good.--NinjaSheik 02:44, March 13, 2011 (UTC) Now is it clear to everybody that kishimoto maabo san is alive, and that he is not dead. I hate when pepole spread some idiocy from uncomfirmed sorces on the internet. So kishi is alive and end of story endo bicoso(short terarm of end because so)...YamatoTakeru (talk) 13:10, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Translation of chapter 536 spoiler
With requests like this, you'll often get a better response if you actually phrase your request like a question instead of like a demand. Please often helps too.
Any way, what do you need explained? Remember that spoilers like that are always somewhat vague and confusing. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't use Google Translate or any other machine translator. As a professional translator, that would be like collaborating with the enemy ^^
- Hiragana and katakana can be learnt in a matter of weeks by an adult. The Japanese themselves learn them as children and even they barely take a year. Kanji, on the other hand, are a lot more difficult and even learning the most-used ones will take years. Dedication, interest, and kanji dictionaries help a lot, though.
- Naruto has never aired on TV in my country and it certainly wasn't the series that introduced me to anime. That honour is set aside for Digimon, which first aired in the early 2000s over here. Even Digimon wasn't the first anime I ever watched, though. It was merely the first I ever found interesting. Both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh were on before Digimon.
- I first learnt of Naruto in 2001, but never paid much attention to it until a few years later. Somewhere in 2003 I started watching the anime, but I soon switched to the manga when I heard Gaara had returned in the Sasuke Rescue arc. I stopped watching the anime completely after that abysmal arc with Raiga and Ranmaru.
- Learning a language is hard and practically impossible without an actual teacher or, at the very least, contact with native speakers. I would never claim to have any level of true fluency, but I'm pretty good at it. My lack of a true teacher can be seen by my lack of speaking skills. Writing and reading I can do pretty well, though. Translation as well, or I would never have achieved my level of Internet fame for it.
- Also, thank you for the compliment. I am quite attached to my little cow-pengy.

Re: Madara's prey
Madara says he needs to 'steal' a 'substitute' (代用品, daiyōhin). Who or even what he means by that is anyone's guess. He might mean a replacement for Nagato, but maybe he's talking about a kind of substitute for the Kyūbi and Hachibi. Perhaps he's talking about something completely unknown to us. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 10:34, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Series' end
- Hi! Please don't get angry at me but please don't put anything about its ending. It's like spoiling the end of the series. I am sorry if it's annoying.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 12:45, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Even if it is an opinion.. ^_^ Have a nice day and I apologize I'm just following the policy.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 12:46, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Why are you apologizing?
Ah Okay! Because some users are complaining when they get warned. Hehehe! Thanks! Yes you're right. I like Hinata.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 09:11, April 22, 2011 (UTC) ShIkAnAtA
Re: Konan
Yes, your trivia point is no doubt factual. Still, it is not quite relevant to Konan and prone to change. That's why it was deleted. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:08, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Anmy news from chapter 537
Chapter 537 probably won't be out until next week. It's a public holiday in Japan right now: Golden Week. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:15, April 28, 2011 (UTC)
Re: A few questions
- He could very well have known dozens of different seals. The question is if any of them would have been sufficient to stop someone of Orochimaru's calibre. The Third Hokage might also have found it fitting to seal Orochimaru with the one technique he was certain Orochimaru didn't know. He already seemed to have accepted he was going to die, might as well do it in style. it also allowed him to seal the souls of the First and Second Hokage.
- Girls who are outwardly violent, but sweet and caring on the inside are called tsundere in Japan. It's a highly popular archetype in manga. Just as popular, or even more popular, than the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype that Hinata represents.
- Sasuke might not care about anything, but Naruto does care about Sasuke. You cannot just give up on someone you love. Them going down a dark path should just strengthen your desire to save them.
- No, he didn't give up on being Hokage, but it isn't his main objective any more. As Naruto said himself, how can he become Hokage if he cannot even save his friends?
- He said he wanted to keep the manga focussed on ninja, not that he wouldn't allow (powerful) samurai characters. Despite the introduction of samurai, the manga really is still all about ninja, so he didn't really deviate from his own rules there. He also said he didn't want any firearms because they didn't suit ninja, but thought things like gunpowder were all right. The only projectile weapons he eventually introduced were all based on previously established ninja skills, so I guess that does make it all right. He never introduced true firearms or anything.

Re: Hinata danger
Are you okay? You seem rather anxious...
I'm not quite sure what your theory is, exactly, but you seem to be wondering if Kabuto might just decide to revive the late shinobigashira who tried to kidnap Hinata all those years ago. That's actually not that far-fetched, to be honest. We might not know much about him, but he held the second-highest rank attainable in Kumogakure. He was only one step from being the Raikage, really. I wouldn't be surprised if he was of the same calibre as the Sannin, or at least Kakashi.
Also, it's Mother's Day. I was visiting my grandmother's for most of the day. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 18:02, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
He was a jeark and evil man who went so low that he tryed to kidnap an innocent 3 years girl from her bed to do her who knows what maybe he tred to replace his lost right eye with one of Hinata's eyes. I was thinking of him because smart people think of their enemys(an enemy of hinata is mine enemy). He was killed by Hiashi sama, and we don't know what his power are because honestly he was trying to escape but what I don't get is if he is Head ninja wasn't he able to run away faster as Kumo spectators did. Second thing kishimoto maybe didn't even wanted him at begining to be from Kumogakure (his flacjacket), he maybe later decidet that. Only whats make logic is he made him kidnapt Hinata as fact that he is a Cloud ninja and cloud stops sun from sending rays on earth so cloud stops sun to create sunny area what Hinata's name mean. Maybe he had some skills like making people sleep because when he took Hinata from her bed she was more than asleep. His right eye was probably kishimots rule for distingwishing good from bad guy because kakashi's covered eye is left and his is right, and his beard maybe should show that he is important to resemble like third who had beard because he is Head ninja. I wonder who is now head ninja. Also if he was powerful I don't think he would let get killED so easy. Probably he was some kid of ambasador or was good only in strategy and in thinking plans, because if he was strong as sanin and kakashi he wouldn't loose from Hiashi who is only good in taijutsu.Anyway I am glad he died and (call me evil) I am only sad he wasn't captured alive and was given to Ibiki to treatman, but he would get out easyly.Also I am sorry that I am not an naruto caracter because I wanted to kill that jerak by my own hands because Hinata's bad life starts with him...184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:41, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Evil is relative. What he did was in the best interests of his village. It has been made pretty clear that he was working under the orders of the Raikage. There's nothing that says he wanted to implant the Byakugan into himself. Calling him evil is rather short-sighted, especially considering the circumstances. They are still shinobi, after all. Deception and trickery is what they do.
- His strength should speak for itself. You don't get to such a high rank without having the power to justify it. He was the highest-ranking shinobi in Kumogakure, save for the Raikage himself. That's not something to take lightly. He was killed by the highly powerful head of one of the most powerful shinobi clans known and most likely taken by surprise.
- And Hinata's bad life most certainly did not start with him. her bad life started with her being a weak shinobi born as the heiress to one of the most prestigious and powerful shinobi clans. Neji's bad life started with him. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:14, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
- This subject is really dear to you, isn't it?
- Again, evil is relative. He was trying to make his village stronger by obtaining the opponent's secrets. This wouldn't even be considered evil in our world, just a normal fact of life. The only thing that makes it anywhere near evil is that he had to kidnap a human being to do so, but given the world they live in, this isn't that evil either. Konoha had no problems possibly destroying the live of a young girl by sealing a monster inside of her, nor do they have any qualms about sending young children to war. Each and every village has done things that could be considered evil, but were considered normal at the time and sometimes are still considered normal within the Narutoverse. This doesn't make the individuals who committed those acts evil. We don't know the shinobigashira's motivation, nor whether or not he had any problems fulfilling his mission. Maybe he was against it, but was left no choice in the end.
- We know nothing about the shinobigashira's abilities. We were never shown the fight in the manga, nor were we told anything about it, other than that Hiashi eventually won. For all we know, they could have destroyed half of Konoha during the process. Don't underestimate Hiashi prowess, by the way. He's an extremely powerful shinobi in his own right. You're downgrading his abilities to make the shinobigashira look bad. That isn't quite fair.
- Kishimoto-sensei doesn't "folowsAkira Toriyamas rule of making yesterdays vilains into good guys," by the way. Kishimoto-sensei makes realistic, believable villains with their own motivations and beliefs. Itachi was a good guy since the beginning. Gaara was turned good (and bad) in a believable manner. Orochimaru is still as evil as he was in the beginning, as is Madara. Kabuto only turned more and more evil. Kakuzu, Deidara, and Hidan were never turned good in any way, either. Sometimes switching sides fits, sometimes it doesn't.
- Hinata is weak by any standards, really. You cannot call a girl who is weaker than her five-years-younger sister anything other than weak. Hinata at age twelve and with full Academy education was weaker than a seven-year-old Hanabi with no formal training. You cannot possibly consider her anything other than weak. She has her own abilities and strengths, but as a shinobi she's weak. At least, she used to be. She got better over time and as she's now fighting alongside Neji and doing a good job, she's probably at least average by now.
- I'm not approving of the shinobigashira's actions, but I'm not straight out condemning them either. I'm too realistic for that. Sometimes, evil deeds are necessary for the survival and prosperity of your country. No country is free of blame, be it fictional or real.
- Sakura has major flaws in her personality, I'll agree to that. Of all the characters in Naruto, I only dislike two characters more than her. Hinata, on the other hand, is in my top ten favourite female characters. Still, you can't deny Hinata has her own fair share of personality flaws. She has little to no self-confidence, for one. Even after desperately confessing her love in what she must have thought was her dying moment, she never confronted Naruto again, despite having ample opportunity to do so. Naruto is an idiot for not confronting her himself, but he had other things on his mind. Hinata has no such excuse.

Re: Madara's rank in Akatsuki
- I doubt Akatsuki as it is now works with any kind of ranking system. It wouldn't really serve much use.
- It could very well be that Kishimoto-sensei was influenced by the clone army from Star Wars. I know he based chakra at least partly on the Force; He at least compared the two.
- I've never read anything about Kishimoto-sensei's favourite book. I do know he prefers gaming and films, with Dragon Quest being one of his favourite game series. Although he has referenced Journey to the West many times by now, I wouldn't take that as any indication of him liking this story. Journey to the West is as well-known and oft-referenced as the Arthurian legends or Romeo and Juliet in the English-speaking world.

Re: Rikudo senins wife
Yeah, he must have had a wife. Or a lover. Or a concubine. or a one-night stand. Or a rape victim. Or a surrogate mother. Or an adoption agency. Of course, he could also have had multiple of the before-mentioned. Or he could have created his sons with his Yin-Yang Release. Or he could have been the victim of mpreg. Or they could have come about through some other magical means. None of which are in any way rare in real-life mythology and fiction, or even in real-life in general with most cases. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:42, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
- You have problems with the term 'mpreg'? What are you doing on the internet? Really, male pregnancy is tame compared to what some mythologies have conjured up. In Greek mythology, Zeus gave birth to Athena by having his head cleaved open with an axe.
- The point I was trying to make, though, is that given the Rikudō Sennin's legendary status and abilities, we cannot say with any certainty he even had a woman he made pregnant. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:54, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
- No internet slang any more? I'll do my best. Mpreg is still okay then, though, as the term comes from 1960s Star Trek fanfiction magazines. The term is older than the internet ^^
- And I never meant to seriously imply I thought mpreg would be a viable possibility. (Although it's not as improbable as you might think.) I just wanted to point out that we cannot just assume the Rikudō Sennin had a wife.
- Also: futanari, tentacle rape, scat, snuff, bestiality, necrophilia... Trust me, it's not the internet that's terrifying. Real life has always been first and will always be worse. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 13:16, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Sasuke and Naruto distance relatives
Inbreeding is only dangerous when it is done with very close relatives (siblings, parents) and even then only when it's done across multiple generations. In other words, if you have like, eight generations of siblings having children together, then things start to get dangerous. Even then, it's only when offspring with birth defects are allowed to continue breeding. If not, it can actually lead to less birth defects over time.
So unless Mito and Hashirama were brother and sister, there's nothing even remotely dangerous about their marriage. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:47, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Reason why people like Hinata
Yes, you are right, and I always thought of all the protagonists were strong characters in the Naruto series. Unlike ShounenSuki-senpai, I also try to watch the anime ones, because for me it's good to watch fights than to look on the pictures in the Manga. I can say she has better chakra control than Sakura because of her clan, which is used to their chakra-releasing techniques. --Ilnarutoanime 11:40, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Oi oi oi! Don't go around misunderstanding my words. First of all, I actually rather like Hinata's character, although she certainly isn't my favourite character. She is weak, though. Physically and mentally to a certain degree. Physically speaking, there should be no denying it. She's considered weaker than Hanabi and although she's not bad, she certainly isn't the strongest kunoichi alive. Her apparent strengths and weaknesses make her better suited for a supporting role, rather than a fighting role.
- Mentally, she isn't one of the strongest either. Her lack of self-esteem and shyness are almost crippling. Well, it was. See, this is where her real strength lies. Almost more so than even Naruto, Hinata refuses to give up. This is what makes her interesting as a character. She might not have started out with much, but thanks to this trait, she can end up as one of the elite shinobi of Konoha. If circumstances allow for it, that is. Her father still seems to prefer others over her, although even he has faith in her abilities now. Her position also makes it difficult for her to reach her full potential, being quite guarded and burdened by it. The worst thing for her really is her constant living in the shadows of people like Neji, Hiashi, and Hanabi. These three are very good and strong, worsening Hinata's lack of self-esteem even more.
- Still, even this she seems to be overcoming. She's brave and persistent, and because of this, she becomes strong and able to conquer any of her weak points. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:28, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with you, ShounenSuki-senpai. That's the worse for her since she's in the shadow of her family, (particularly Neji and Hiashi;I don't think Hanabi so), which is stronger than her. But I guess she isn't that weak anymore (like when she and Hanabi spar), since she was older now, and her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists. ^_^ --Ilnarutoanime 12:54, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
- It's a shame we haven't seen Hanabi recently. I would love to see how her skills match up to Hinata's. If Hanabi is anywhere near an average shinobi and not a genius like Neji, it's easily possible for Hinata to become better than her. If Hanabi is also a genius, things will get a lot more difficult for Hinata, though.—ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 13:38, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

- We're still waiting for confirmation on whether or not Hinata has already surpassed her sister.
- Kishimoto-sensei made Hinata's life this way for a reason. If there's one thing he's good at, it's characterisation. He can make the most interesting characters, really. I'm sure if Hinata and Hanabi were boys, their story could easily have been the plot to a moderately popular shōnen manga. The entire concept behind the Hyūga family is easily interesting enough to support its own story. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 18:02, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

We view characters different, because we people have different look of how you like characters. But her eye techniques made her stronger. You're right about the pursuers of their powers. But Naruto without the Nine-Tails, Minato would once again face that threat but his reign will be longer. I wonder what will happen to a story without antagonist. I tried to make one but it's rather a short story.

Re: Head ninja of Kumogakure
I'm pretty sure the shinobigashira was meant to be from Kumogakure from the very beginning. At that point in time, Kishimoto-sensei simply hadn't thought of seperate names for the majot villages and countries yet. In chapter 9, the countries are called the Land of Leaves, the Land of Mist, the Land of Clouds, the Land of Sand, and the Land of Rocks. In other words, they shared their names with their respective villages. This wasn't changed until later on and even then it took a while for the actual names to stick.

See they use a juinjutsu to branch members to prevent this case. As far as I know, Byakugan isn't only used for short ranges. The problem in this eye is the blind spot. Sharingan is much stronger, not because it can kill people easier but because it has NO weakness. Rinnegan is a rarity.

It's a Korean film that was never brought out in Japan. The chances of Kishimoto-sensei having been inspired by that film are slim to none.

Given the lack of Internet back then, the relative obscurity of the film, and he amount of time that has passed since, it's extremely unlikely that this film was Kishimoto-sensei's inspiration for the Nine-Tails.
- On the other hand, the legends and stories of nine-tailed foxes are as widespread well-known in Japan as knowledge of unicorns and dragons in the West. It's simply far more likely that Kishimoto-sensei was inspired directly by the original sources. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:45, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Whoever said Kishimoto-sensei was fixated on Buddhism? Where did that come from all of a sudden? He has shown plenty of inspiration from other sources, such as Shintō, Japanese folktales, Chinese folktales, modern Japanese cinema, foreign stereotypes, Japanese culture, Christianity, and much, much more.
- Oh, and I have never had contact with ohana in any way. She posts her spoilers on 2ch, which I don't even frequent, myself. I have plenty of contacts in Japan, though. I asked several of them, but none of them have heard of the film. All of them could name several other — Japanese — films and series with nine-tailed foxes in them. They all knew about the original legends as well, of course.
- Then there's the little matter of that Korean film not even being all that well-known in South Korea itself. It doesn't even have a page on the Korean Wikipedia. It seems more like a cult film than anything else. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:19, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Saying superhero comics are for the slow-minded is rather elitist. There are plenty of superhero stories that are as intricate and deep as even the best manga. There are also plenty of manga that are as superficial and stupid as even the worst comics.
- Also, stop saying God hates you. Self-pity is annoying at best. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 14:04, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
- No-one is expecting you to be blindly obedient, but if you want to keep having conversations with people, you might want to keep their feelings in mind.
- No-one ever said that the shinobigashira wasn't evil. I merely pointed out that evil is in the eye of the beholder. He might be considered evil from Konoha's point of view, but he probably isn't by Kumo's point of view.
- That said, where did you get the idea that he didn't have a troublesome past? He might've been high-ranking, but so is Gaara.
- Also, the shinobigashira most likely did not act on his own accord. You shouldn't pin the crimes of an entire nation or government on a single individual. For all we know, the entire peace treaty was a ruse to get close to the Hyūga.
- Saying women are strong because they give birth is a pathetic logical fallacy. First of all, there is no way you could know if men wouldn't be able to bear the same pain better. Second of all, women giving birth have little choice in enduring the pain. The circumstances, rewards, preparations, and inavoidability all make the pain endurable. It's a very bad measure of strength, really. Not that 'strength' is in any way a clear enough concept to be able to compare different kinds of strength with one another.
- That said, women have more than enough ways in which they can be as strong as, or stronger than, any man.
- Men can be just as emotional as women. Besides, war is not all gun shooting and skull bashing. Women, even the generalised, stereotypical ones, can have just as great a use in warfare as men.
- Hinata is not a normal, kind girl. She is a girl with a serious lack of self-esteem. She has a big flaw and if she's able to overcome that flaw, she could grow into a very strong, self-confident woman. If she isn't able to do that, she could turn into a depending, weak woman. Women (and men) like that often don't end up in a nice life and they more often than not do not make good parents.
- Oh, and this manga is for teens. Your point?

- I'm sorry, but I simply don't care about talking to you any more. My conversations with you consisted mostly of you repeating your own beliefs without listening to arguments, your self-pity and angst, and you switching subjects without warning and rambling on about unrelated things. I try to show some interest and give you some attention — as it seems to me that that's what you want — and you give me a ridiculous riddle that does not, as you claim, requires analytical abilities and logic, but knowledge about the history and current status of your country. The constant abuse of grammar and spelling doesn't make reading your messages any more fun for me, either. Also, for the love of all that is good and holy in this world, learn to sign in and sign your messages. Half of the time, I'm not even sure if it's the same person I'm talking to.
- I dislike stopping conversations this crudely and without resolution, but all this conversation does is tire me. I'm not a psychologist who you can ramble to about your life problems and infatuation with Hinata. So long. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 11:35, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

- I'm just trying to advise you. Kishimoto is just trying to make this story LONG. By the way, I don't care whether they criticize Neji... he is a prodigy, 'ya know? We have the same opinion. I dislike Sakura (for being bossy and dependent) and Sasuke (ruining Naruto's future). I don't think Kabuto will revive Shinobigashira.

Sakura is no good! She uses Naruto's feelings to her so she can ask him to bring Sasuke back or (dependent)! Hinata is an independent person. --Ilnarutoanime 16:47, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't said it, neither, and Sasuke isn't still back. That event proves more that she is really a kind and brave person, see she saved Naruto without hesitation and revealed her feelings without any fear.
- As you know, Yamato is an ANBU, he can't be leader of any genin teams. Sasuke is not only the smart guy, there are many, even the Five kage can't. --Ilnarutoanime 19:04, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

- I don't think they take him like that. He's an S-rank jonin. Only one defeated him, except if he knows the secret of Pain, like Jiraiya, they have both chances of defeating him. They ran away because they have no business regarding Jiraiya, of course, Itachi is "secret Konoha ally".

Grammatical errors
In your post about Naruto Shippuden Movie 6: Road to Ninja, you misspelled the word opposite as oposite in the subject title.
Your post has errors in it ( - denotes errors, _ denotes missing word) I saw some posters, and _ looks like Kishi changed every character look and behavior, Sasuke is now _ playboy, Hinata looks like _ got more confident and now care about her look, Shikamaru doesn't seem _ smart as in _ manga, Kakashi and Guy switched role, and what is my prediction Jiraiya is not going to be as pervy as in manga...My toughts, Tobi used genjutsu in wich everybody changed to opposite.
Here's how it could look with some editing.
I saw some posters, and it looks like Kishi changed every character's look and behavior. Sasuke is now a playboy, Hinata looks like she is more confident and now cares about her looks, Shikamaru doesn't seem as smart as in the manga, Kakashi and Guy switched roles. My prediction about Jiraiya is that he is not going to be as perverted as in the manga. Just my thoughts. I believe that Tobi used a genjutsu in which everybody is changed to being completely opposite of what they are in canon.
I am only pointing this out for you just so you can avoid this in the future and did not mean to insult or offend you in any way. Take care, dattebayo! :) --Senjuto 15:53, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

My involvement with genealogy began many years ago with the 4 and 5 generation submissions to the Ancestral File. At the time, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had instituted a program for the members to verify and submit their ancestry for first four and then later, five generations. The submission was done on paper (there were no personal computers yet at that time) and it was quite a project. The paper submissions, on the old 11 by 16 family group records all were gathered into binders and stored on the patron shelves at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Like many people in the Church, I had been told by family members that all the "genealogy" had been "done." After spending only a short time researching, I discovered that the work was far from "done" and have now spent the last almost thirty years gathering records and information about my family and my wife's family. Now ultimately, what happened to all those paper records submitted to the Church so long ago? They all ended up in New FamilySearch along with my Pedigree Resource File submissions and any contributions I made to the International Genealogical Index. So, to the extent that I have spent my time during the past many years, I am vitally interested in the final product, that is, New FamilySearch.
So when I look at New FamilySearch, I do not see an anonymous collection of records, I see my own family with all of the information I spent years accumulating and correcting. But I also see additional information that is totally inaccurate and misleading which could have been verified or corrected with a minimum of effort on the part of the submitters. I care because of the time and effort I have expended personally over the years. I also care because I believe in accuracy. I believe in citing sources for your information and I believe in having a product that is not marred by misspellings (like New York) and other problems.
So, this is why I write. I am interested in the program and would like to see it improve. I think they have made a good start at a program, but they used data that was faulty. It would likely be easier to start over with a new database than try and correct all of the wrong information in the present one. But obviously, I am not in charge of anything and have little or no input. But even my small opinion can be expressed here on the Internet. That is why I care and write about New FamilySearch.

Why I write (and care) about New FamilySearch
1 comment:

Starting over with a new database would be a good idea, also, I think; however, until genealogists, who have the advanced knowledge and experience you have, are utilized to advise the various processes of genealogical research to the web and database programmers, IMO, a new database is problematic. I commend you for your patience, and for my part, I wish you did have input.ReplyDelete

Twitter Taking Down Tweets Over Bogus DMCA Claims
from the that's-not-how-it-works deptYou may recall the controversy over Google reacting too aggressively in pulling down music blog posts (or entire blogs) based on DMCA takedown notices. Eventually, Google revamped its DMCA policy to better handle the situation, though there have still been some complaints. Tim Dickinson alerts us to a similar situation with Twitter -- except the details suggest it's much worse, and involves a clear abuse of the DMCA (which Twitter should be standing up to).
The story involves a music blogger named JP, who runs the appropriately named JP's blog. Not surprisingly, JP also has a Twitter account, where he mostly seems to post links to his blog posts. One such post was about the leak of the new album by The National. That post includes a link to Amazon where people can purchase the new album... and also a link to a download of one song (in MP3 format) from the album.
Someone -- and it's not at all clear who -- apparently filed a DMCA claim over the Twitter message about the leak, and Twitter responded by taking down the tweet and sending JP a note:
jp917, Apr 22 03:10 pm (PDT):There are all sorts of problems with this that suggest a pretty big abuse of the DMCA, but first we should address a couple problems with JP's blog post about this situation. First, he puts the blame fully on Twitter, claiming that it's "Twitter" sending the DMCA takedown notices. That's not really true. Twitter is receiving a takedown notice (in theory) from the copyright holder, and Twitter is merely responding to that takedown and notifying the user. Second, JP claims that he only linked to Amazon and not to a download, but looking at his blog post, there are two clear links to a single song from the album -- one at Mediafire and the other via Box.net. He makes no claim that these are authorized, so perhaps they are potentially infringing, which makes things a bit messier. It is true that his main link is to Amazon, encouraging people to purchase, but there are those MP3 links as well (though, again, only to a single song, not the whole album).
The following material has been removed from your account in response to a DMCA take-down notice:
Tweet: http://twitter.com/jp917/statuses/12499491144 -- New Post: Leaked: The National -- High Violet http://jpsblog.net/2010/04/20/leaked-the-national-high-violet/
Even so, this whole thing is troubling and a clear abuse of the DMCA -- which you would hope Twitter would stand up against. Specifically, nothing in the tweet itself is infringing -- which means that the DMCA takedown for the tweet is bogus, and a violation of the DMCA itself. Even if there was a link in the post that's infringing, we're talking about a takedown on a tweet that links to a blog that links to a potentially infringing file. That tweet itself is not a violation of copyright law in any way, and the takedown notice is clearly fraudulent. Pretending that anything that links to a page that links to a potentially infringing file is, by itself, copyright infringement, is clearly ridiculous.
On top of that, there have already been questions asked about the copyrightability of Twitter messages, and it's rare that such tweets would be covered by copyright. In this case, it's unlikely that there's any copyright (the tweet was just a headline, and for the most part, you can't copyright headlines). Even if it was covered by copyright, it would be JP's copyright for having written the headline. In other words, there's nothing in the tweet that is held as a copyright by someone else, and thus the takedown message itself was a clear abuse of the DMCA -- and a violation of basic First Amendment principles, as the takedown sought not to takedown copyrighted material (as allowed by the DMCA), but to silence conversation about a leak of an album through misuse of copyright law.
It's unfortunate that Twitter decided to take the easy way out and automatically pull down the clearly non-infringing message with no review whatsoever. It's actions like that which encourage more abuse of the DMCA. Doubly unfortunate is that nowhere does Twitter tell JP who sent the bogus takedown. It could be the band itself, or perhaps its label -- which appears to be Beggars Group (who is generally not so bad on these sorts of things). Either way, this is unfortunate on multiple levels. The takedown notice was clearly bogus (whoever sent it) and Twitter's response is unfortunate. I would have expected better from a company like Twitter.

Statement - Capcom has "not announced" a Dark Void PC demo

A federal judge on Tuesday denied Rickey Weir's request that he be allowed to leave Sangamon County so he can consult with his Chicago lawyers on health-care fraud charges.
A federal judge on Tuesday denied Rickey Weir's request that he be allowed to leave Sangamon County so he can consult with his Chicago lawyers on health-care fraud charges.
Even though the Springfield man has complied with the home confinement and other terms of his release from jail after posting $1 million bail, U.S. District Judge Jeanne Scott said the conduct that led to Weir's arrest Sept. 19 justifies strict control of his travels.
"His behavior raised a lot of questions as to his intent to leave," she said.
Weir, who prosecutors alleged was preparing to flee the country for Nigeria before his arrest, didn't show any emotion in the courtroom after Scott's decision, though one of his lawyers, Ralph Meczyk, expressed disappointment.
A federal grand jury charged Weir — the former business manager for his estranged wife's medical practice, Cardinal Respiratory — with 16 felony counts of mail fraud and health-care fraud on Sept. 11.
If convicted, he could be sent to prison for more than a decade.
The indictment alleges that Weir, 60, overbilled Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance companies and individual patients in a scheme he masterminded that resulted in at least $800,000 in undeserved revenue for the practice from 1997 through March 2007.
Federal prosecutors also charged Weir's wife, Dr. Janet Despot, with a misdemeanor in the case. She has pleaded guilty but is still practicing medicine and could be sentenced in January. She has told court officials that she would agree to pay $2.8 million in federal fines and compensation to victims of the overbillings.
Meczyk said it would be a bother, and more expensive for Weir, if Weir's legal team had to travel from Chicago to Springfield to meet with him. Weir's trial is scheduled for May.
Meczyk argued that Weir wouldn't flee if the terms of his bond were relaxed, because Weir doesn't want to lose the $1 million he posted, and Weir wouldn't want to leave his three young children, who are living with Despot.
And despite the statements of U.S. Attorney Patrick Hansen, Meczyk said Weir never prepared to leave the country for Nigeria. Meczyk said Weir's dealings with Nigerians were "part of a scam that was run out of Nigeria."
Hansen told the judge that federal officials previously told Weir he was being scammed financially by people in Nigeria, but Hansen added that prosecutors still believe Weir was preparing to flee the United States for the African nation.
Documents filed by Hansen said "'suspicious activity reports' filed by financial institutions indicate that Weir has transferred over $300,000 to Nigeria, London and Taiwan. … It is unknown where any of these funds are currently held, potentially leaving the defendant with nearly $1,000,000 at his immediate disposal should he flee the country."
Hansen said Weir disregarded a court order in a related federal civil case, and Hansen still considers Weir a "flight risk."
"Mr. Weir has had the government chasing his tail for the past year and a half," Hansen said. "He makes his own rules."
The prosecutor said federal officials searched Weir's home last week and seized a computer, but Hansen wouldn't say why officials sought the search warrant or why they wanted the computer. Court records concerning the warrant have been sealed.
During the search, several counterfeit checks were found, Hansen told the judge.
"What Rickey Weir was up to we don't know," he said.
Meczyk has said Weir's car could be equipped with a global-positioning system tracking device during visits to Chicago that would be pre-approved by court officials.
But Scott said such a tracking system "can be foiled," and court officials don't have the resources to track Weir outside Sangamon County.
"It simply isn't worth the risk," she said.
Scott did modify the terms of Weir's home confinement to allow him a three-hour window every Sunday afternoon to spend time outside his home with his children. Weir lives in a house connected to the couple's Lake Springfield home.
