- battle horn
- cattle horn
- hunter's horn
- trumpet
In the Bible, the horn was symbol of strength because of its use as a weapon by horned beasts (Deuteronomy 33; Psalm 74; 131). It is frequently mentioned to signify power and glory: "in my name shall his horn be exalted" (Psalm 88); "his horn shall be exalted in glory" (Psalm 111); "my horn is exalted in my God" (I Kings 2), "the horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord" (Jeremiah 48). The horn was used as a vase among the Hebrews and other nations, and held the oil used for anointing: "The Lord said to Samuel…fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him" (1 Kings 16). The projecting points on the altar of the holocaust were called horns (Exodus 30), and were smeared with the blood of the sacrificial victim (Exodus 27; Leviticus 4). Criminals were free from danger as long as they took hold of these horns (3 Kings 1; 2.)
As an emblem in art, various forms of the horn have become associated with
- Pope Saint Cornelius, a reference to his name
- Saint Eustachius, a symbol of being a huntsman and soldier
- Gabriel the Archangel, a trumpet, being an ancient symbol of a message or messenger
- Saint Hubert, a symbol of being a huntsman
- "horn". . CatholicSaints.Info. 14 September 2010. Web. 23 September 2020. <http://catholicsaints.info/horn/>

Kai in the Sky: Square Enix/Play Arts' DC Universe Figures
The roll out for Square Enix/Play Arts roster of DC Universe figures, as previewed at NY Toy Fair 2013 in February, has begun with The Dark Knight Trilogy Batman and Bane currently available. Catwoman Selina Kyle as portrayed by Anne Hathaway, and Heath Ledger's Joker will follow in the coming months.
Arkham Gals Won't You Come Out Tonight…
Rounding out the Batman related characterizations, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy will add a twisted feminine touch to the Batman Arkham City series. Both are scheduled for mid-June 2013 release.
Also scheduled for release throughout spring and summer are the Anime-esque "Kai" Variants of DC's revered heroes and heroines. Along with a samurai sword wielding Batman, the series will include sleek and angular spins on Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and down the road Batgirl and Flash. The latter two were displayed in early prototype pre-painted versions that I think highlighted their beautiful geometric look. That said, The Flash should be spectacular in full color.
SkeletonPete Says…
Many of the characters were displayed with a host of swappable parts, including hands, weapons and masks. Please keep in mind that all photos here were taken of prototypes – in some cases still pending licensor approval. Final products may vary. You can see the official product images of these and other Square Enix/Play Arts collectibles at their website.

Topic: DNSBLs in main.cf not working
I've added both Spamhaus ZEN and Spamcop DNS blacklists in the postfix 'main.cf' configuration file and it is failing to work. I put the 'reject_rbl_client' directive for each of the DNSBLs, 'zen.spamhaus.org' and 'bl.spamcop.net', within the 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions' directive. The line looks like this:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unlisted_recipient, permit_mynetworks, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10031
I've sent mail to my server from a Spamhaus ZEN listed IP and am not being disconnected at any stage of the mail transmission process; in fact, I can send an e-mail in just fine. According to the documentation, a host that is blocked is supposed to receive a 55x SMTP error code during the session.
I've searched the posts on this forum for a remedy and all of the advice (including solved issues, so it's working for someone!) is to setup the configuration as I have it. Am I missing something else somewhere? My main.cf is stock to iRedMail with the exception of the modification I made to the smtpd_recipient_restrictions directive.

Review: Madagascar
J.T. Rogers's play Madagascar made me think of American MFA programs. When I looked him up, it was no surprise to discover that he graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts. From a distance, the writing that emerges from these programs has a particular, but very identifiable, smell.
They've more or less done for contemporary American poetry. There are always exceptions that prove the rule, of course - Charles Olson and Allen Ginsberg, who both taught poetry programs, spring lawlessly to mind - but the proliferation of polite, competently-written, dull poeticisms that presently clog the arteries of US lit are a direct result of the MFA creative writing programs, which raise well-meaning young poets to be well-meaning teachers who, in a kind of nightmare of eternal recurrence, then publish each other.
Madagascar is of this ilk. You can almost hear the sawing in the background as the metaphors and themes are workshopped. But most of all, what gives it away is the closed mental universe it inhabits. It's about the thoughts and sufferings of wealthy Americans, for whom the world is a giant mirror in which the poverty of their aching selves is revealed. It's a play that wants to be liked, that assumes - perhaps cleverly - that its audience is a middle class, liberal bunch with vague concerns about how the world is going to hell in a handbasket. The audience gets to hear a lot about themselves, and even more about the meaning of life.
It's an odd choice for the MTC, although you can see why Sam Strong might have chosen to direct it. Like Red Sky Morning, the Tom Holloway play he directed for Red Stitch to deserved acclaim, it's a play that consists of three interwoven monologues that explore the interior lives of three intimate but tragically estranged people. In Holloway's case, the conceit was brilliantly effective: sensitive to the patterns of colloquial speech, he created a poetic oratorio that wrenchingly revealed the inarticulate desires and loneliness of his characters. Rogers, on the other hand, failed to make me care at all about his characters.
The failure is all in the writing. The production was as good as is possible with this text: if the orchestration of the lighting became a bit soporific, or if the design seemed emptily pretty, it was hard to think what else the production team could have done. And the three actors - Noni Hazlehurst, Asher Keddie and Nicholas Bell - bring real and feeling presences that do much to mitigate the banality of the writing. Because of the excellence of the production, it makes it the kind of experience that is chiefly irritating in retrospect, when you think over what it is actually saying.
According to Rogers, he is unusual among US playwrights because he looks beyond America. "The truth is, we don't have the luxury any more of making theatre that just reflects us," he said recently in New York. "Why should the world listen to us if we're just talking about ourselves?" Indeed. If this is really an outward-looking play, then American theatre culture must indeed be a hall of mirrors. (Luckily, at this point one thinks of Tony Kushner.)
Rogers's idea of "dramatizing the stories of people from countries and cultures different from our own" is to change the wallpaper: viz, put an American family in Rome. In Madagascar, he treads in a fine tradition of works about Americans abroad: the film Three Coins in a Fountain, say, or Tennessee Williams's The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone, or James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room, which was recently beautifully adapted for theatre in Gary Abrahams's Acts of Deceit. But here, the lost American is just a cliche.
June (Asher Keddie) is a young woman who has fled her wealthy family to live as a tourist guide in Rome after her brother Paul has gone missing in Africa. Five years before June's residence, her mother Lilian (Noni Hazlehurst) is waiting in the same apartment to meet her son, and June's brother, after a six-month estrangement. Lilian is married to Arthur, a charismatic, world-famous economist who spends most of his time in Africa. Nathan (Nicholas Bell), who turns up a few days after June, is Arthur's colleague: a mid-level, middle aged economist who is Lilian's long-term adulterous lover.
Together they narrate in a mildly fragmented fashion the story of a privileged, self-destructive family hypnotised by self-delusion: perhaps chiefly by the notion, symbolised by the figures of the economists, that there is a legible pattern in even the most random coincidences. There were hopeful moments in the first twenty minutes or so when I thought I was in for an interesting night: some good one-liners, some promising arcing of narrative spark. But as the story devolved into clunky melodrama, and the characters became more and more inexplicable, and the message got heavier and heavier, I found myself just admiring the actors for making as much sense of it as they did.
The rest of the world doesn't get a look in, except as furniture to decorate the characters' self-obsessions. Rome is a collection of ancient tourist attractions, rather than a living city full of Italians. The Third World – represented by Lilian's fanciful imaginings of Madagascar – functions as a mirror in which their self-delusion explodes, or as a fantasy of escape, or a paradigm of distressing disorder and violence.
Most of all, the Third World represents American GUILT, for which they must all be PUNISHED. Every character went on and on about punishment. What a relief, really, to find that it was the fault of the over-possessive, selfish mother. (As an aside, the playwright's idea of female sexuality seems drawn from bodice-rippers - the women both want to penetrated and ravished and dragged off by Dark Gods to the Underworld - and comes across as borderline misogyny).
If there were an iota of irony in Rogers's perspective, this might have made an interesting play. But it never expands its vision past its unconvincing characters, with whom we are meant to identify and sympathise. The writing is surprisingly coarse and undramatic: metaphors and repetitions are laboured to within an inch of their lives. Its banality is excused by gestures towards mystery. But when you examine the mystery you feel, as Gertrude Stein once said, that "there is no there there".

Sensing the world differently: How the disabled experience travel
Boarding a plane, finding a toilet, fitting through the door of a hotel room. For travelers with disabilities it's often the more mundane elements of travel that can make or break an experience.
There's rarely a moment when a wheelchair user isn't worrying about steps, or usable power points, or damage from careless baggage handlers or when a visually impaired traveler doesn't need some assistance in a new place.
But the flipside is a range of experiences many able-bodied travelers won't get.
Tom Hart, a blind traveler based in Cape Town, South Africa, says his experiences can be better than what able-bodied people might expect.
"I had vision until I was 18 years old," says Tom. "But now, even though I'm blind, I feel I often experience sensations more acutely than people who can see.
"On a safari trip in Zambia a few years ago the rest of the passengers were miserable because we hadn't seen any lions or cheetahs.
"For me however, the sensation of heat, isolation, quietude and hearing just the hiss of the cicadas and the groan of the insects was enough to leave me feeling absolutely blissful -- a state of mind I don't think any of my fellow travelers had, as they were so preoccupied with what they could or couldn't see rather than the other sensual elements that make the African bush so special."
Pragmatics no barrier
Emma Tracey, a radio producer from Ireland who is blind, now residing in London, describes a recent cruise.
"What I noticed was the air. It was so clean and fresh and I could feel it blowing more freely as it wasn't blowing through anything," she says.
"When we stopped at port, it was like being on a regular holiday. My partner would describe the different vista in each place but I could have been anywhere."
It's easy to think the pragmatic elements of disability and the equipment people with disabilities need make regular globe trotting impossible.
Martyn Sibley, a travel blogger with a disability, fiercely refutes this attitude.
"I've been on holidays to Australia, the United States, Singapore, Mexico and parts of Europe. I just love new adventures and experiences and I guess this all sounds pretty normal," says Martin.
"But when you factor in my 150-kilo wheelchair, battery charger, 24/7 personal care assistant, technology to lift me, accessible accommodation and transfers, the mind boggles.
"I decided to take a more challenging road trip around Europe last year with my aim being to discover wheelchair access in nine cities, interview disabled people living there and showcase disability in a positive light.
"I took my adapted car and I have to admit I struggled to find accessible accommodation."
Yet Martyn's resilience paid dividends.
"Those three weeks were the most challenging, exhilarating and rewarding of my life. I think my trip showed the power of a vision, hard work and the goodness of people, but equally our public access should be improved vastly."
Cut the queues
Kate Monaghan, founder of a British TV production company and who has arthritis, highlights how even small perks can be enjoyed.
"Flying can be the best part of the trip," she says. "Without having to pay any extras, wheelchair users skip the queues at check-in and security and get ushered through to the gate and onto the plane first. It's like being a celebrity without the hassle of being paid all that money and having all that inconvenient fame stuff!"
Traveling with a disability is slower, harder and requires more organization, but whether it's sailing across the ocean or just reclining in the African outback, the experiences of many disabled travelers can be equally memorable to those of able-bodied holiday makers.
As Tom Hart points out: "We're all inhabitants of Planet Earth. Just because your legs or eyes or something else may work differently to most people, that doesn't mean anything other than your experience of a place or a moment is unique."

Request a JA Program
"In 4th grade, I learned about being an entrepreneur. I now own my own vending machine company, which helped me earn money to help buy our family dog."
"I learned that companies are looking for candidates who show they are ready to work hard and have a solid résumé."
"When the business people come in and work with our students, it gives students a real life application and how it relates to their future."
"Starting with elementary school Junior Achievement I remember it being one of the best parts of the year. I got to have someone new come in and share about their life and how my future could be successful too!"
"That experience impacted the trajectory of my career. Today, I owned a 13 year old marketing consulting and coaching firm. Thank you JA for exposing me to my destiny."
"We not only make their lives better, but we potentially enrich all of our own lives."

Randall's Island Park
The Daily Plant : Tuesday, September 14, 2004
Running Circles around the Competition
The fastest man on earth, Justin Gatlin, said the track in Athens, on which he won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash last month, made him feel like he was "running on air." The New York City Department of Parks & Recreation designs, builds and offers the public running tracks made out of the same material (sometimes even higher caliber material) as those on which Olympic runners compete.
"The upgrade and enhancement of Parks & Recreation track & field facilities is a logical step in making this type of athletic activity more accessible for New York City's young athletes," said Deputy Commissioner for Public Programs Kevin Jeffrey. "These regional venues reduce travel time for kids and allow for higher-level competitions to be held locally. For example, the First Annual Mayor's Cup meet was held this past April at the new track in Astoria Park, Queens. Nearly 1,500 young athletes from the City's public, independent and parochial schools competed."
Outdoors in parks and indoors in recreation centers throughout the city, the Parks & Recreation Capital Projects division is developing elliptical tracks made from prefabricated rubber panels. These panels are manufactured in the controlled environment of a factory, eliminating variables like erratic temperatures that can effect the installation process of a pour-in-place (on-site) rubber crumb system often used to coat tracks. Prefabricated materials cost more, but they guarantee quality, longevity and resiliency. They also require less maintenance than the once popular cinder-surfaced tracks.
To construct these tracks, natural rubber is mixed with pigment and produced in custom-made sheets. Once transported to the site, the sections are laid down like a carpet over a carefully prepared and graded sub-base. Proliferating across the city, these new tracks are smooth and brightly colored with demarcated lanes. The almost imperceptibly bouncy surface minimizes the adverse effects that pounding pavement might otherwise have upon users and puts a slight spring in every runner's step.
Deputy Team Leader for Bronx Capital Projects Andrew Penzi was the Landscape Architect who designed one such track in Pelham Bay Park. The regulation 400-meter track, just one component of a new track & field facility for New York City's largest park, replaces a worn out pour-in-place system. The track will wrap around a new synthetic turf football field. Long jump, high jump, pole vault, discus and shot-put facilities are also being built in the vicinity. Construction, which began in February on this $2,505,000 project, is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Funds were allocated by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Council Member Madeline Provenzano, and a Dormitory Authority Grant.
Also in the Bronx and set to open by the end of September, a shorter course is under construction at Bathgate Park. The inner oval area bounded by the track is being surfaced in the same rubber material as the track itself. Here, under the careful supervision of Resident Engineer Ahamad Baksh, different colored rubber pieces are being cut and installed to form a map of the earth.
Ground in Brooklyn is about to be broken for a new track at Linden Park, and Brooklyn Team Landscape Architect Marcha Johnson is in the process of designing a 400-meter track to replace the existing cinder one at Kaiser Park. At Victory Field in Forest Park, Queens, where the Mayor just cut the ribbon on a brand new synthetic turf baseball field, construction on a new little league field contained inside a track has already begun, and a track for Keith Williams Park is in design. An indoor track, currently under construction at the East 54th Street Recreation Center in Manhattan, will loop around on a gallery above the perimeter of a basketball court below. On the Lower East Side, a new rubber track and synthetic turf field are under construction at Sara D. Roosevelt Park.
Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island, already in construction, will house the only Class 1 IAAF certified track in the United States. Designed with an asphalt and gravel sub-surface for superior drainage, the level of the track will fluctuate by less than an eighth of an inch over any ten feet of track. Meeting and superceding even-gradation and other requirements qualifies the venue for hosting international competitions, rendering it an eligible candidate to hold the next Summer Olympic trials in 2008. The new stadium will have seating for up to 10,000 spectators, a roof, light towers for night usage, a regulation-size soccer field, locker rooms able to accommodate up to a thousand visiting athletes and training and treatment rooms.
Icahn Stadium will attract world-class events, while also providing a key resource to local communities and schools. The $45 million project is funded by $22.6 million in public funds and the rest by private donations raised by the Randall's Island Sports Foundation and Parks & Recreation, including a $10 million gift from Carl Icahn. It is scheduled to open in spring 2005.

PMD sorting and purification for recycling
At the Indaver plant in Willebroek, we carefully sort selectively collected PMD (Plastic bottles and packaging, Metal and Drink cartons) into various fractions, which are ready to use as raw material for the recycling industry.
The PMD installation is continuously improved in order to separate more fractions with an even higher level of purity. That way, we can remove hazardous materials from the closed loop. The sorted fractions are used for all sorts of common products, such as fleece sweaters and toilet paper.
Municipalities and intermunicipal organisations, as well as companies (to a lesser degree), deliver their PMD waste to Indaver. The waste goes into a sophisticated PMD installation that sorts and purifies the waste.
- Via an automatic sack-opener and a conveyer belt, the PMD winds up in a rotating sieve. The initial separation occurs here, with an additional separation by size.
- A series of machines automatically sort the huge fraction of the PMD waste:
- a wind-sifter sucks out the paper residue and plastic bags, while an overhead magnet removes the metal;
- infrared light detects the drink cartons. Compressed air blows them out of the PMD waste. A non-ferrous separator selects the non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium;
- caps and covers are sent to a container. Large foils and bags are transported to the sorting hall;
- a ballistic separator separates soft and hard synthetics and thereby excludes bothersome foils from the sorting process;
- separation of synthetics occurs by means of a combined technique of material and colour recognition using the latest generation of optic separators. A first optic separation machine sorts PE, PET and the residual fraction based on an analysis of the reflected light spectrum. Compressed air blasts PE and PE to separate conveyer belts. The second machine separates clear PET from the coloured PET. The last machine further sorts the residues separated by the first and second machine according to material and colour. PET returns to the second separation machine in order to ensure optimal separation between clear and coloured PET.
- Ultimately, eight pre-sorted fractions end up in the sorting hall: aluminium, blue sacks, drink cartons, clear PET, blue and green PET, PE and residue. All these fractions are manually checked by the sorters.
Meticulous quality control
The purity of the sorted fractions must be high: not more than 5% of the input flow may be lost in the residue. To regulate the sorting process, Indaver carries out quality checks. All PMD deliveries are subject to a visual check. A quality assistant also carries out a process check of the end-products and/or the residue twice a day, on average.
Valuable raw materials
The sorted fractions are transported in sacks or in bulk for recycling. At this point these are valuable raw materials for the recycling industry. The end-products are used for industrial applications, such as building materials, but also for everyday products, such as fleece sweaters, mattress fillings, toilet paper and tins.
Every load of PMD can be identified – from collection up to final application. All the collection, sorting and recycling partners must register their data in a central database (Profost). The sacks with the sorted products are also labelled so that each sack can be traced back to its source.
Continuous improvement and innovation
In order not to contaminate the closed loop, no impure or hazardous substances may end up in the recycled fractions. Indaver continues to invest in ever better PMD sorting techniques in order to continue meeting the strictest requirements of the recycling industry.

Chakra natures
Is the information that Rinnegan gives the user ability to master all basic chakra natures enough to put them in his infobox?--LeafShinobi (talk) 16:51, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
- No, but the fact that he created ninjutsu is enough to put it there.--Cerez365™ 17:12, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
- He discovered the mysteries of chakra. Considering that after the Sage, Madara is the earliest known user of the Rinnegan, and that people already fabled the Rinnegan as allowing one to use the five natures, it makes sense for him to be listed as having them.

Are you sure ? Naruto and Gaara are affected by their Tailed Beasts and tell this to Uchiha. Ten-Tails has eye that looks like Sharingan, if having a tailed beast is not hereditary, then there would be no Sharingan in Uchiha. Unless Sage had Sharingan as well. --Elveonora (talk) 19:02, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure given the information we have currently. Naruto and "Gaara" (to some extent though his father has the same eyes so I can't speak 100% about the rings or even his abilities) gained physical traits from their beasts, not otherwise. There is Rōshi but at the same time we don't know if he'd be able to use it without the beast. The Sharingan is an "offspring" of the original and apparently only dōjutsu: the Rinnegan. We've even seen where Kabuto has said "what lies beyond the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan..." It seems like somewhere along the line on descendants the eyes changed etc. The Jūbi's eye cab look like all three of the great dōjutsu if you wanted it to.--Cerez365™ 19:16, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
We are at least pretty sure (at least now) that Sharingan is from Ten-Tails, unless as I said it would mean that Sage had both. That would really make him a God. I don't think he had any eye powers before of becoming a host, that's why I'm discussing this and why the page is speculative saying he found jutsu thanks to Rinnegan. --Elveonora (talk) 19:22, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
I would like to hear more people's opinions on this and admin's as well. --Elveonora (talk) 20:27, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
I think that saying he got the Rinnegan because he became a host is highly speculative. We've known him as having the kekkei genkai for much longer than him having the beast. Like it was said already, there we've never seen him without the Rinnegan, or at least awakening it for the first time. Considering what we know about it, I think it's least speculative to say he had it before. While sealing the Ten-Tails is a big feat, he is first and foremost known for discovering chakra and creating what came to be called ninjutsu. To seal something, use of fūinjutsu is required, ergo, we would have had to discover ninjutsu before sealing the Ten-Tails. The Rinnegan was said to allow one to use all sorts of ninjutsu. This leads me to him having the Rinnegan before sealing the Ten-Tails. I'm not saying the other way is impossible, but it would require more explanation, so this sounds much more likely to me. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:01, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
- And we know Ice Release, Wood Release much longer that them being a KKG.
- We have not seen Nagato's eyes without the Rinnegan as well
- We have not seen So6p awakening it, seriously ? We have not yet seen him at all other than the silhouette.
- Madara can switch between the Rinnegan and EMS ... and turn them on and off.
- The point being that the Rinnegan and Sharingan are the one and same eyes, meaning that Sharingan has not devolved from Rinnegan nor evolved.
- Kabuto said it's a natural evolution meaning it's possible to attain the Rinnegan from a Sharingan by normal but unknown means.
- Taking Hashirama's cells is a forced evolution.
- When Rinnegan and Sharingan were once basically the same, this mean Sage had a Sharingan as well.
- This would mean that the Ten-Tail's single unique eye is not unique at all and it was just a result of being under So6p's genjutsu.
Rinnegan has no genjutsu powers we know of.
- If Sage was born with the Rinnegan, it must really be just a mutation as Kakashi said.
That would make it as rare as Wood Release
- Or Sage was really a demi-God
- Or the most possible variant is he get that from Ten-Tails.
Thinking that the 2 most powerful abilities (Sharingan and Rinnegan) in Narutoverse are just a mere mutation is silly. So6p being really a demi-God is possible. As I said, Uchiha are descended from So6p ... they possess the Sharingan. People say that Sage casted a genjutsu on Ten-Tails and thats why its eyes has the Rinnegan like pattern. As I said, there are no genjutsu powers of Rinnegan we know of. That would still mean that Sharingan is from Ten-Tails and that Tailed Beast powers are hereditary. Another but weird possibility is that Sage's original eyes were Sharingan and he get the Rinnegan from Ten-Tails. It would be much more believable one of his sons inherited the eyes from him and not from the beast inside of him. --Elveonora (talk) 22:39, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
-Ahem- Not a forum. Anyway, the Sage did not have the Sharingan. I don't have to theorize or anything to state that. His son had his own dojutsu, which was visually very similar to the Rinnegan. The Sharingan evolved from the Elder Son's dojutus, ergo it is very odd to say the Sage had it. And I too find it very unlikely and much less speculative to say he had the Rinnegan before the Jubi sealing. Being able to see chakra would definitely be a big help in divining the mysteries of chakra, which he did. Skitts (talk) 22:43, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
Read again please. If Rinnegan is a natural evolution from Sharingan, this would make Sharingan a degradation. If Uchiha got the Sharingan from Ten-Tails, this mean it's not related to Rinnegan since you say Sage had it before sealing thus it cant be an degradation nor evolution of it. If Sage had both Sharingan and Rinnegan before sealing, this would make it more believable that one of his son's line inherited the eyes from Sage rather than fron the Ten-Tails ... but this would leave the Ten-Tail's without any kind of unique eye thus the only possible version is Sage getting an eye technique after the sealing. And I know its not a forum ... I'm discussing it to improve the page. Saying Sage found chakra/jutsu thanks to being born with Rinnegan was not confirmed and it's more of a speculation to what Im saying. --Elveonora (talk) 23:10, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
Except it isn't speculative and I did read your post properly. Several things are being assumed, such as that the Sage didn't have his sons before he was a jinchuuricki and that the Uchiha's possession of the Sharingan is related to the Jubi. I didn't say that the Rinnegan was the sole reason the Sage mastered the use of chakra, and even if I had, that wouldn't have been nearly as speculative as saying he had the Sharingan or whatever. We all know that the 3 dojutsu give varying degrees of chakra sight. Also, he learned to make use of chakra through ninjutsu before he sealed the Jubi (duh). Also, you're assuming that the evolution of a particular bodily function is automatically better than its previous incarnation, which is incorrect. Skitts (talk) 23:31, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry then, but you see this point. Ten-Tail's eye look like a combination of both Sharingan and Rinnegan. If it was due to Beast being uder Sage's genjutsu, Sage had Sharingan as well or Sage's Rinnegan was with genjutsu powers. If he had just Rinnegan, Sharingan is from Ten-Tails. If Sharingan is from Ten-Tails, can't be a lower level of Rinnegan ... see my point ? :) If Rinnegan is an evolution from Sharingan, and Sage got Rinnegan before ... then Ten-Tail's has no special eye and this mean Sage had Sharingan as well. But you disagree with Sage having a Sharingan thus my "speculation" being plausible. --Elveonora (talk) 23:35, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
If the Sage had the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails had the Sharingan, why would it be "higher" than the Rinnegan? The Sage did seal the Ten-Tails, so wouldn't that put the powers of the Rinnegan above the powers of the Sharingan? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:45, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
Yes. that's why I'm saying both Sharingan and Rinnegan stemms from 1 source, if it's Sage or Ten-Tails ... dunno. But I'm saying Ten-Tails. EDIT: Unless your question is if it's from the same source, why is Rinnegan stronger than Sharingan. Not really, EMS and Rinnegan are more or less equal in power. No reason to compare, that would be like comparing Sage Mode and Rikudou Mode. Not have much with the topic. --Elveonora (talk) 00:01, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
I don't mean to interrupt, but who says the Ten-Tails has to have a special eye? Who says that the Sharingan can't be evolved from the Rinnegan? Some snakes developed gills to leave in the sea, but lost the lungs. What if the Sage's son that inherited his eyes had the Rinnegan, but his children lost the Rinnegan and developed the Sharingan because of the world not needing such power? It is said in a legend that a user with the Rinnegan only comes in times of need, who would destroy the world, or create a better world, for example, Nagato. Nagato was the "god of creation" that the legend talked about, although instead of creating a better world himself, he helped make a huge step in creating a better one. What I'm saying is that you are all speculating that the Ten-Tails needs a special eye. I do not read much of the manga, but thanks to your wiki and the anime I have been able to conclude all this. Like Nagato, I hope that this helps to create a world of understanding within the wiki. Max042599 (talk) 00:50, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
thanks for being part of the discussion, but the point being is that if the Ten-Tails has no such eye and it was all just a reflection of Sage's eyes, he had Sharingan as well. If the Ten-Tail's original eye was Rinnegan, Sage had Sharingan. If the Ten-Tail's eye was a Sharingan, Sage had Rinnegan. But then Rinnegan can't be a step from Sharingan if Sage had it before. Meaning there's only one source of eye techniques (Byakugan is a mystery to this) and I think it's Ten-Tails. If it's Sage, people won't accept he had a Sharingan as well and this would make less sense since Tobi need to be Ten-Tail's host to boost his eye powers. --Elveonora (talk) 01:05, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Before ending this friendly discussion I would like to hear out ShounenSuki's opinion as well. I will no longer reply until further manga evidence then ... --Elveonora (talk) 01:40, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
- My gods, this discussion has got out of hand… So if I'm not mistaken, it's about whether the Sage had the Rinnegan before becoming the Jūbi's jinchūriki, right? if so, the answer is really: we simply don't know.
- I could speculate, of course. It is heavily implied that the Sage used his Rinnegan to develop ninjutsu, and he used ninjutsu to seal the Jūbi, hence he should have had the Rinnegan before beciming a jinchūriki. Still, we really won't know for certain until we're shown an image of the sage from before he had become a jinchūriki.
- The connection between the Sharingan and the Rinnegan is still quite murky as well. We know the Rinnegan can be awakened from the Sharingan, but we don't know if this is entirely natural. Senju genes are most likely involved and who knows what other physical alterations. Still, the Sharingan does have Rinnegan potential, so to speak. However, this doesn't mean that the Sage had the Sharingan as well. It could very well be that the Rinnegan came first, only to slowly 'degrade' into the Sharingan over the centuries, while still carrying the potential to become a Rinnegan, if only when mixed with Senju genes. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 01:56, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
Then if Sage had Rinnegan and it degraded into Sharingan generations later, and with Senju genes its possible to awake Rinnegan from Sharingan, then how is it that back then Ten-Tail's eye appeared with Sharingan pattern ? Sage would had it before or it was Ten-Tail's natural eye and the Rinnegan patern was because it was under Sage's control. Or both Sharingan and Rinnegan is Ten-Tail's original eye. Rinnegan could not degrade into Sharingan when it appeared even back then, so Sage had Sharingan/Rinnegan before or it was Ten-Tail's eye and he got that after sealing. I don't know if its that hard to understand what Im talking about ... english is not my native language but hopefully now you understand what I mean. So:
- Sage had Rinnegan and Ten-Tails had Sharingan (It appeared with the Rinnegan pattern due to be under Sage's genjutsu) ... then how is it that Sharingan can turn into Rinnegan when the two are not related ? Uchiha possess Sharingan, this would indicate that Tailed Beast powers/features are hereditary and another problem is that Rinnegan has no know genjutsu powers.
- Sage had Sharingan and Ten-Tails Rinnegan (It was under Sage Sharingan's genjutsu) "possible"
- Sage had both Sharingan and Rinnegan and Ten-Tails was under his genjutsu. "possible"
- Sage had none and gained them after becoming the host "I support this"
--Elveonora (talk) 14:44, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry, and I realize this isn't supposed to be a forum-esqe thing, but I have to say something. Everyone seems to be forgetting some very important facts in regards to the Rin'negan.
- First: The Rin'negan, unlike most other Doujutsu, affects the whole body. It manifests most visually in the eyes, but it's powers are not limited to the eyes themselves, mental functions, or chakra. The whole body is part of the Rin'negan. Evidence: The Six Paths.
- Second: The Sharingan is an ability focused almost entirely upon the eyes and chakra - for the sake of this particular issue, we'll say that the Sharingan eyes focus more on the "spiritual" side of nin, gen, and taijutsu. By contrast, the Uzumaki and Senju strengths tend to deal either with the body or the physical side of chakra - in other words, they create solid things with chakra, like wood and chains, and have extended life spans and more robust bodies.
- Third: Each of the Sage's two sons was said to have inherited a different part (or "half," if you will) of his power. The older son inherited his "eyes," his immense chakra and spiritual energy (see my second point), while the younger inherited his "body," his strong will and physical energy.
Therefore, neither the older or younger son alone is capable of using the Rin'negan. The same could be said of their descendants. In order to awaken the Rin'negan, a descendant of either son must have spliced or combined his genes or body with a descendant of the other son. In essence, they have to combine the Sage's spiritual energy with his physical energy (which equals - go figure - chakra) - his "eyes" with his "body". We must conclude, then, that the Sharingan as we know it is a mutation of the older son's eyes, and did not, in fact, exist before the Rin'negan. Whether or not the mutation of the Sharingan into its present form is a result of the Sage being a Jinchuuriki is irrelevant, because neither Madara nor Nagato had to become a Jinchuuriki in order to awaken the Rin'negan.
There is, in fact, evidence that the Rin'negan cannot be unlocked without the genes of both sons - the real Madara admitted that he didn't acheive his until just before his death, and that he had to absorb some of Hashirama's genes/DNA/powers first. Likewise, he also hinted that he had something to do with Nagato unlocking his Rin'negan, though what that might actually be is still a mystery that Kishimoto might never reveal.
On the issue of the Ten Tails, you're assuming that it had to be related to the Sage in some way or manner, and that its eye was either a reflection of the Sage's eye or his method of gaining the Rin'negan in the first place. You're coming up with a number of convoluted theories to explain the Juubi's eye in relation to the Sage's eyes, when in reality the simplest and least convoluted explanation is that they aren't related at all. I cannot explain how the Juubi has its one "ultimate" eye, but you must keep in mind that the Juubi, like the Bijuu later created from it, is a monstrous construct of chakra. Even with a physical body, that body is not limited in the same manner a human body would be, ergo it's entirely possible that it can have both the Sharingan and the Rin'negan at the same time. Or, far more likely, the only reason we assume that the Sharingan is involved is the comma marks along each of the eye's rings, when it may actually be that the Sharingan is not involved at all. In fact, it's almost certain that the Sharingan wasn't involved because the Sharingan as we know it did not exist at that time. We assume that the comma markings have some sort of significance, but it may simply be that they have no significance at all beyond something symbolic that we don't actually know.
Please, for the sake of my sanity, remember Occam's Razor. I really don't like to risk the wrath of the site's authority over some convoluted theories built on half-remembered knowledge.--James D. Fawkes (talk) 21:30, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
I agree with the long post above mine. But there IS simple explanation like "Occam's Razor" about the ten tails having both the Sharingan and Rin'negan. We all see in the "Naruto universe" the concept of mistakes. Example: Sarutobi didn't kill Orochimaru ; Itachi with Sasuske etc. So we can presume that the Sage is also capable of mistakes. So with his "Creation of All things" technique, it is possible that he unwillingly created the Ten Tails. Or maybe at the beginning when he was still learning, something went wrong and the monster was created, probably from some dark part of his subconscious, or his nightmares. And there is a picture of the Sage where he has a necklace with six red magatama and on the back of his robe there were 9 magatama. So we have the two sides of the Ten Tails eye. And we can assume that the subconscious mimics reality so if it was created from him it would have that two characteristics. But this is thinking WAY outside the box.--Danchojack (talk) 00:12, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

- Just because his power was called 'the power of God' or 'the power of the Gods', doesn't mean that 'God' is his nickname. It just means that people considered his power to be like that of a god, which is why he was called the 'God of Shinobi'. The Sage himself was never simply called 'God'. Now the word 'god' looks all weird to me… —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:10, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Also, do you have something more to say to the Rinnegan stuff ? --Elveonora (talk) 22:34, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I never said it wasn't a reference to the Sage. I just said that calling the power 'the power of (that) god' doesn't mean that the Sage was nicknamed simply 'god'. It just means that he was seen as a kind of god, hence his nickname 'God of Shinobi'.
- As for the Rinnegan thing, I only have to add that just because the Jūbi had tomoe in his eye doesn't mean he had anything related to the Sharingan. The point of the matter is that we simply do not have enough information to draw any substantial conclusions about how the dōjutsu really relate to one another and what exactly the deal was with the Sage and the Jūbi. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 22:37, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Why doesnt the sage of the six paths have Wood Style listed as one of his KKG? In chapter 510 Tobi stated the Sot6p was both clans and both bloodlines in one person. This would mean that both bloodlines are needed to gain the rinnengan.
220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:32, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Because Hashirama was the first person ever to have Wood Release, much later in history. Just because the Sage originated the line Wood Release appeared into, it doesn't mean he had. Bloodlines change over time. What you're asking is the equivalent of adding Sharingan to Tsunade, because like the Uchiha, she's also a descendent of the Sage. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:44, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

No. Madara had the Rinnegan. Kabuto's statement was in regards to that, not Wood Release, which Madara didn't even use until after Kabuto made that statement. Hashirama was the original possessor of Wood Release. Skitts (talk) 19:43, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
"Hashirama was the original possessor of Wood Release" Yeah, until Kishi states otherwise. Hashirama is the original source just as Sharingan came from Byakugan and Rinnegan is a mutation. --Elveonora (talk) 20:46, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Your Byakugan point came from Kakashi who himself said it was a rumor. This has been stated by characters in the series as fact. Your Rinnegan point is moot as it also comes from Kakashi, who believed the Sage to be a myth, which we knwo to be false becasuse of the Tailed Beasts referencing him and the fact that they named him (and the existence of the Naka Shrine Tablet.)Skitts (talk) 20:53, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
That was an example. The "fact" stays as long as not proven wrong or otherwise. For years Kyubi was some demon fox and as well as other Tailed Beasts evil, now they are just tinny pets. I think what OP is asking ... if Uchiha + Senju = So6p power/blood/Rinnegan whatever, that would mean when you take flesh from any random Senju not just Hashirama, you get the Rinnegan (this is not confirmed but likely) or just simply to "mimic" Sage's power/blood ?
It was always said that sharingan + HASHIRAMA'S power = power of So6p This would mean that Madara/Tobi/Sasuke/Any Uchiha taking Tobirama's flesh instead would result in So6p power, but this does not seems to be the case. --Elveonora (talk) 21:14, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
OP is saying that Wood Release should be in the Sage's infobox because Hashirama was his blood. Things were explained, and now you're just speculating. Elveonora, more often than not the discussions you take part into turn into forum talk. Please police yourself. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:18, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
(E/C) Pretty sure Hashirama is used because he's essentially the best his clan ever had or was said to have. I mean, he defeated Madara and Kurama alone, had the power of Wood Release, and could control several Tailed Beasts by himself. Wh would you choose anyone else? Noting in the series implies that the So6P had anything to do with Wood Release and everything has stated and shown that Hashirama is the original possessor of it.
Edit: Only the Kyubi and Shukaku were regarded as 'evil' in the series, and that was because of the former attack Konoha and the latter having extreme blood lust.. The other Tailed Beasts didn't get referenced or brought up until much later, and even then the weren't all said to be evil.Skitts (talk) 21:21, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hashirama's power is to control Tailed Beasts and strong yang chakra/stamina I guess. Unless Kishi says that Rinnegan is unlocked with Hashi boob then it should not be implied.--Elveonora (talk) 22:24, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Psst. Hashirama has strong Physical energy, not Yang Chakra (which is a nature transformation). And it was fairly implied actually. Skitts (talk) 22:46, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
Yang chakra is physical energy ... yang release is something different and where was it implied ? --Elveonora (talk) 23:16, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Yang Chakra is not Physical energy. Yang Release transforms chakra, giving it life-giving properties, which IS Yang Chakra. I'm not sure where you got it that the Release is not that chakra. Fire Chakra is Fire Release and so on. Physical energy makes up chakra, that's it. ^^ Anywho, I'm getting off topic. As to where it was implied, that's (somewhat) easy. When Kabuto was checking his theory with Edo Madara that he had survived his final confrontation with Hashirama and Madara and Kabuto both said that the entire point of that battle was to "gain access to Hashirama's power" and it was years in excess of him doing so when he awakened it. Of course, it wasn't directly stated, but Madara's acquisition of the Rinnegan was always surrounded by talk of his acquisition of Hashirama's DNA Skitts (talk) 00:07, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
We have argued about the Yin/Yang chakra (spiritual and physical energies) and Yin-Yang Release before and went nowhere ... Genjutsu = Yin Release (implied by Mizukage and makes sense, was thought before by fans) Uchiha inherited strong spiritual energy/chakra from So6p and are proficient in Genjutsu with Sharingan itself being strong tool of it. So6p was "Yin-Yang" and Elder-Younger son/Sasuke-Naruto are Yin-Yang to each other. Yin has a bit of Yang in it just like Yang has a bit of Yin in itself, because one can't exist without other as both make up reality. Yin being the space/time/idea/mind/soul and Yang what we call "real" or interactive stuff. Everyone has both physical and spiritual energies as they make up chakra. Fire natured chakra is not always fire release, for example Naruto has wind affinity but he has to TRANSFORM the chakra into wind (that's why it's called nature transformation, it changes the chakra's properties) so in order to perform Yin Release (genjutsu) one has to use Spiritual energy/Yin chakra and transform it into effect. To topic, I still think Kabuto himself has enhanced Edo Madara with Hashirama's power and that he didn't have it before. He would not be surprised about Hashirama's face on his chest and would not question Kabuto as of what he did to his body, not the mention Madara said "I want to try something out" ... People say: "He must have had the Wood Release before as he is skilled with it" that no argument as Kakashi was able to put Obito's Sharingan in use right after the transplantation and Madara fought Hashirama for YEARS so he has copied and memorized the techniques and has Rinnegan that allows him to easily learn chakra natures, with his powers, experience/skill and knowledge it shouldn't be a problem.--Elveonora (talk) 00:34, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
- You're misunderstanding several concepts in the series:
- Genjutsu being Yin Release has nothing to do with Hashirama having Yang Release or whatever. That doesn't even make sense outside of Tailed Beasts. Yin-Yang may very well be related to Physical/Spiritual energy, but they definitely aren't the same.
- And Yin having a bit of Yang in it??? What? And we're not even sure if all Genjutsu are Yin Release as of yet.
- An Affinity towards a certain nature is just that, an affinity. The chakra itself has no properties of that Nature. Chakra itself has no inherent Nature. It has to be transformed to obtain those properties. Naruto's chakra is NOT Wind Chakra, it's juust chakra. There is no such thing as "having" Yang Release in the way you're talking about aside from the Tailed Beasts, which were created by Yin-Yang Release anyway.
- Never once was Madara surprised about his Hashi Boob. Not once. I just went back through the chapter. This is what happened: Kabuto mentions his progressing Madara passed his prime/altering his body, which caused Madara to look at his chest and say "Well, you've certainly prepared well." That's it.
- Physical and Spiritual Energies make up ALL chakra. Please read the article on Chakra. It explains everything which I'm trying to get across to you.
- There's a great difference between transplanting something and integrating someone's DNA into your own. Just look what happened to 59 of the 60 babies Orochimaru implanted Hashirama's DNA in to. Madara specifically noted (as did Kabuto) that the entire reason for their final fight was for Madara to gain Hashirama power.

How could the Sage seal the Jubi on the moon since he is its jinchuruki, he need to have a stronger force of life (not to sepculate, but a equal force of Uzumaki clan) or is because of his imense power, my question have 2 bases:
- After divide the power of Jubi in nine, he selaed himself along the biju while transformed, into the moon (what make him and Jubi have a pefect synchronism with each other).
- He release Jubi from his body (which needs a stronger force of life like I already mentioned), divided its power in nine and sealed its body on moon (the most real evidence).
So, what of those two options is the correct. MaskedManMadara (talk) 16:03, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

So, here's a question. At the moment, we list the Sage's debut as the chapter and episode where he was first mentioned, by Jiraiya, when the Rinnegan was introduced. Much later on, we actually see a bit of the Sage, in Kurama's flashback to his last days, just by side. I think it's a given that in chapters yet to come, we'll learn more about him, and see more about him. My question is: when the time comes, should we change the Sage's debut to the chapter/episode where he fully appears? It's what we did for Yahiko as far as his role as Deva Path went, and Nagato's debut was in the flashback. I believe a similar situation happened with Shisui. Are there other characters in similar situations? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:59, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Not a shinobi
The page refers to Sage as a shinobi. This is incorrect as it was said by Jiraiya the sage was a monk, a priest of sorts. His teachings were the foundation of the shinobi world but it was never said, implied or hinted at he was a shinobi, so I think we should edit his page to accomodate his true occupation.--Reliops (talk) 01:47, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Exactly, he was a monk who taught Ninshu. Ninshu over time became Ninjutsu. He was NOT a shinobi himself 220.127.116.11 (talk) 07:16, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

His epitaph is irrelevant to his occupation. The shinobi world may consider him a god of shinobi but he was not one. He was a priest whose teachings gave foundation to the shinobi. That's it. The page should be edited accordingly.--Reliops (talk) 20:09, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
Sage's real name
His real name is revealed in chapter #646. His name was Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and his mother's name was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a553/anaspet06/Shakhmootssign_zps2a261e68.png(Contact) 08:00, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

"ha" and "ba" in Japanese just differ slightly, their characters are the same. I think it might be Bagoromo, since the "ba" character uses a punctuation, but "ha" doesn't.
why would the translator mistook "without punctuation" as "with punctuation"? On the other hand, he could easily miss the punctuation and see it as a "ha".

If they were as old as that, they would have known what to do against the Rinnegan or how to guide the user.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 18:19, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
So, the Sage traveled and taught the masses about chakra control, right? But he's the only one who had chakra, besides his mother. So how was this done?
Did he somehow do Naruto's trick of transferring chakra? (Rhetorical question. I know there is no answer to this question, it's just one of Kishis mysteries). SusanooUnleashed (talk) 12:41, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
- This is true. For that to be possible, everyone he taught had to be also descended from his mother thus a direct relative. It's a mess tbh. That's why I defy religion, doesn't make sense--Elveonora (talk) 13:02, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
- The same way the Ten-Tails was said to be the origin of all chakra and nobody batted an eyelash.
- Chakra is screwy, the entire story could be BS, Sage figured out how to unlock chakra to everyone, human eating the fruit unlocked chakra in everyone, many many things could have happened.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:15, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
I think it was probably misinterpreted. Considering that people can't live without chakra, I'm assuming that they already had it. If I read it correctly, the manga said the sage's mother was the first to wield chakra, not the first to have it. The ten-tails is the origin of all chakra, but also the origin of all life, so it wouldn't break any facts if people already had it. The only thing that might go against this is that it was said that the sage was the first born with chakra. But I'm also assuming we haven't gotten the raws yet, since we've yet to clarify the sages name, so somebody clarify this while there at it. it might actually say "first born able to use it". MangekyoSasuke (talk) 18:56, September 12, 2013 (UTC) Edit: Also, the shinju was probably just mad about the fruit, not the chakra that people already had (if I'm assuming right). MangekyoSasuke (talk) 18:57, September 12, 2013 (UTC) 2nd edit: I also noticed that it seemed like Kaguya was giving people chakra it the mural that showed her ending the wars, so that's also a possibility. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 18:59, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
I... don't even know if I should bring this up, but Obito never says that those brothers were the actual sons of the Sennin. They're just called "two children" and "older brother"/"younger brother". How do we handle that? I only checked chapter 462, were they mentioned somewhere else? Seelentau 愛議 20:51, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Historical/Mythological References
The name Ōtsutsuki (大筒木, roughly "Big Bamboo Tree") comes from an obscure passage in the second volume of the Kojiki about the genealogies of Emperor Suinin, eleventh emperor of Japan, which states that he had a consort named Kaguyahime no Mikoto (迦具夜比売命), the daughter of a king named Ōtsutsukitarine no Miko (大筒木垂根王). Unsubstantiated folklore suggests that this Kaguyahime is the basis for Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫, Kaguya-hime), the heroine of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (竹取物語, Taketori Monogatari), from which the name Hagoromo is also derived.
Additionally, though this is likely a stretch, the horn-like tufts of Hagoromo's hair may in fact symbolize rabbit ears, representing his connection to the moon by evoking the moon rabbit; it is not uncommon for pop culture depictions of Princess Kaguya and the moonfolk to feature rabbit ears.

- Why're you translating 筒 as bamboo, though? Seelentau 愛議 21:23, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
- The original, archaic meaning of 筒 is "section of bamboo," referring to the individual tube-like sections of a bamboo stalk; the original han character is actually a compound of 竹 (bamboo), 𠔼 (twice), and 口 (opening). Not to mention the local Kyōtanabe lore that Ōtsutsukitarine served as the model for the old bamboo-cutter (竹取翁, taketari no okina) in the aforementioned folktale. As I understand it, Kyōtanabe was once known as Ōtsutsuki Township (大筒木郷), and those who study Japanese folklore speculate that it's the village from the story, presuming that Ōtsutsukitarine's name, roughly "Big Bamboo Tree Vertical Root" is a rough analogue to "Bamboo Root" (竹の根, Take no Ne); tradition also holds that the Imperial court was centered there during the reign of Emperor Keitai, at Tsutsuki Palace (筒城宮, Tsutsuki no Miya), and of course, the recurring tsuki syllable sounds like moon (月, tsuki). All unsubstantiated, but certainly compelling and interesting. Bits of research on the subject can be found all over the net, but the website for the Taketori Okina Museum in Kyōtanabe has a lot of compiled info on the folktale.

Catholics Come Home Rolls Out Ads
The evangelizing advertising apostolate rolls out a new television campaign for Advent — nationwide.
ROSWELL, Ga. — Graduate student Andy Woods first heard a Catholics Come Home advertisement on Sacred Heart Radio in Cincinnati a few weeks ago while in his car running errands. When he returned home, he watched the television version on YouTube.
"It was really well done," said Woods. "You see the Mormon ads popping up all over online. This is something the Catholic Church should be doing. It's important for the Church to use the same forms of media that constantly attack it to evangelize and defend itself."
Woods forwarded the ad to his mother, who then forwarded it to her sisters.
Come mid-December, those ads, which have been utilized in 30 dioceses, will air nationally on prime-time network television for the very first time. Beginning Dec. 16 and running through the feast of the Epiphany, Jan. 8, the ads will air more than 400 times, reaching more than 250 million television viewers in over 10,000 U.S. cities and every diocese.
The ads are the work of the Roswell, Ga.-based Catholic apostolate Catholics Come Home. Founded by former advertising executive Tom Peterson, the nonprofit launched pilot campaigns in Phoenix and Lexington, Ky., in 2008, after experiencing tremendous success with a television advertising campaign in Phoenix 10 years earlier.
"That campaign brought at least 3,000 people back to the Catholic Church," said Ryan Hanning, coordinator of the Office of Adult Evangelization for the Diocese of Phoenix.
Since that time, Catholics Come Home has created a variety of professional advertisements and a comprehensive website that provides links to local parishes and Mass times and explanations of the faith. Catholics Come Home has partnered with, and run their ads in, 30 dioceses across the country, including Chicago, Seattle, Sacramento, Calif., Corpus Christi, Texas, and Colorado Springs, Colo. During Lent 2011, Catholics Come Home partnered with 12 dioceses, including Boston, Lafayette, La., St. Louis, Venice, Fla., and Winona, Minn.
"This pastoral tool is a useful method for the re-evangelization of our society," said Venice Bishop Frank Dewane. "Through the positive use of media [this has] given expression to the Church's outreach to her wandering sons and daughters."
"Some parishes experienced upwards of a 30% increase in Mass attendance," said Carson Weber, associate director for new-media evangelization in the Archdiocese of Sacramento. "Those parishes that did more work saw results."
'Looking for Hope'
According to research conducted where the ads have aired, there has been an average increase in Mass attendance of 10%, and more than 300,000 Catholics have returned to the Church.
Based on that data, organizers are hopeful that as many as 1 million Catholics could return to the Church as part of this Advent's national campaign. The organization's bilingual 30-second "Epic" ad is scheduled to air on CBS, NBC, Univision, TBS, USA, TNT, CNN, Fox and other networks during shows such as 60 Minutes, NCIS, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and The O'Reilly Factor, as well as major sports events and highly rated sitcoms.
The ad highlights the history, beauty and spiritual richness of the Catholic faith. It invites Catholics to return home to their parishes and provides the Catholics Come Home website, which is CatholicsComeHome.org.
"People are looking for hope," said Catholics Come Home's Peterson. "You can't go wrong by putting out the Good News. If it saves just one soul, the Good Shepherd says it's worth doing."
The $3-million campaign is the result of fundraising by each of the 30 dioceses that have partnered with Catholics Come Home, and also the contributions of more than 35,000 parishioners nationally.
The Archdiocese of Sacramento was the third diocese in the country to partner with Catholics Come Home. In 2009, the necessary funding was raised through second collections, the Knights of Columbus and other private donors. They ran an advertising campaign at the end of that year.
"To run a local campaign, a great deal of money has to be raised," said the archdiocese's Weber. "As part of what's raised in each diocese hosting a local campaign, 15% of everything we raised was set aside for a national campaign. It's really neat to see the fundraising we did so long ago come together as a part of this national campaign."
"It will encourage and embolden Catholics who are active. Non-Catholics will inquire into the Catholic faith, and we'll see inactive Catholics come back to the sacraments," explained Weber.
"Of those who've returned to the Church, 90% have said they didn't have a reason for leaving," said Peterson. "Those who've returned have said they've done so because they were invited."
With the average American watching 38 hours of television each week, Peterson sees TV as a place where the Church needs to be.
"It makes sense to harness the power of TV and the Internet to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth," said Peterson. "When we do, it works."

Hey, I know I risk looking like a complete idiot by admitting this, but I'm putting 2 12" Streetglow LED strips alongside my sub box. The only installation instructions say to connect the ground and the power to their respective sources. What I want to do is make them flash to the beat, much in the way my old Duals did. Can I hook them up to the speaker terminals on the sub box where the wires from the amp are hooked in? Or will this break the LEDs/underpower the subs? And if this isnt possible, does anyone know how to wire them to my amp? Thanks.

When an app performs Wi-Fi scans in the background, it wakes up the CPU,
causing rate of battery drain. When too many scans occur, the device's
battery life may be noticeably shortened. An app is considered to be running in
the background if it is in the
PROCESS_STATE_BACKGROUND or
PROCESS_STATE_CACHED state.
This document explains how to detect when your app is performing too many Wi-Fi scans in the background, and provides tips about diagnosing and addressing the problem.
Detect the problem
You may not always know that your app is exhibiting an inordinate number of Wi-Fi scans. If you have already published your app, Android vitals can make you aware of the problem so that you can fix it.
Android vitals
Android vitals can help improve your app's performance by alerting you, via the Play Console, when your app is performing excessive Wi-Fi scanning n the background. Android vitals considers Wi-Fi scanning excessive when an app performs more than 4 scans per hour in 0.10% of battery sessions while running in the background.
A battery session refers to the interval between two full battery charges. For information on how Google Play collects Android vitals data, see the Play Console documentation.
Investigate the Wi-Fi scans
Tools such as Battery Historian can help you gain more insight into your app's scanning behavior. Battery Historian provides a visualization of Wi-Fi scanning behavior on a per-app basis, which can help you gain a clearer picture of what's happening with your app. For more information about Battery Historian, see Analyzing Power Use with Battery Historian.
For information about the mechanics of using Battery Historian, see Batterystats and Battery Historian Walkthrough.
Reduce the scans
If possible, your app should be performing Wi-Fi scans while the app is running in the foreground. Foreground services automatically present notifications; performing Wi-Fi scans in the foreground thus makes the user aware of the why and when Wi-Fi scans take place on their device.
For information on how to scan while in the foreground,
see the documentation for the
WifiManager class.
If your app cannot avoid performing Wi-Fi scans while the app is running in the background, it may benefit from applying a Lazy First strategy. Lazy First encompasses three techniques that you can use to cut down on Wi-Fi scans: reduce, defer, and coalesce. For information about these techniques, see Optimizing for Battery Life.
