I'm not much for making first posts which are spectacularly interesting, and I'm pretty sure that the title of this thread says it all, really. So, here we have it, folks: a logical, reasonable discussion on the shounen-ai/yaoi/BL fandom-within-a-fandom, particularly pertaining to the Naruto fandom.
Thoughts? Points of view? Death threats? Questions from those that just "don't get it"?
I don't think I need to comment on my own stance on yaoi, since it's more or less completely apparent to most that talk with me, or even see me post. So what about the rest of NF? Do you love it, or hate it? If so, why?
Reasonable discussions, please, as I am inclined to neg-rep and lay the smackdown on anyone on either side that starts with the flaming (because I know this can be a rather...touchy subject. Both with yaoi-haters, and yaoi-lovers).
And please, this is about yaoi, not homosexuality. And no, they are not the same thing. All discussions about homosexuality should be taken to any one of the three threads about it in the debate corner.

I honestly dislike the friggin' swarms of yaoi fics that exist for Naruto. There seems to be little basis for it in the manga, especially for some of the favored yaoi pairings that seem to appear in fic summaries. It's one thing if you write a fic with yaoi themes where one of the characters is actually gay, but simply introducing it randomly is extremely annoying, and that's most of what's going on.

my opinion : yaoi = sick bastards.

I'm not really a fan of yaoi fics, or any sort of relationship fics in general, because they're usually poorly written and weak. Actually that's the reason I don't like all fanfiction. Some is good; most is wretched. If you actually write fanfics, assume that I think that yours in one of the good ones, kthxbai.
Yaoi art, on the other hand, I love. Like all art. As long as it's tastefully done and well drawn. It can be cute
or sexy

Yaoi in Naruto = God.
'Cause every single freakin' girl is 'tarded and I hate them all.
I mean, SasuNaru, there are plenty of hints, and also other things that could make evidence for this pairing. Like, Navy blue and orange. They compliment each-other. The sun and moon, this and that, blah blah blah. (Too lazy fer stuffs)
So, I love yaoi. =P

I dislike it, but as long as I'm not exposed to it on a regular basis I could care less if it existed or if people are obsessed with it, ect.
...I really thought I had more to say on the subject, but, yeah... that's it.
martryn, Apr 14, 2005
Well, seems people are voting but not many are commenting on why. I'll try to, although I'm not sure I can explain this very well because it's simply an either you like it or don't type of thing.
I voted "I enjoy Yaoi" because I can appreciate different types of art and the subject matter of art, as long as it remains tasteful. When I look at a picture of Itachi and Sasuke embracing each other I don't think "Omfg homosexual i*c*st?!" I think "Hey, that looks nice." or "Meh, don't like that one."
In anime and manga, whether they are male or female, fans of a character are fans not only because of the character's attitude and abilities, but because they find them visually appealing. They may think they look cool, cute, sexy, it doesn't matter which but they like the way it looks. It is part of the artists job to draw characters that are pleasing to the eye. For me, this extends into the realm of yaoi as well. If I like how Itachi and Sasuke (my two favorite characters) look in the manga, why would that change just because they're holding each other? It's just a drawing. Same goes for Yuri, although that's probably the reason so many young guys are uncomfortable with Yaoi, cause they find themselves beating off to SakuraXIno and therefore see Yaoi as more than what it is.
Now having said that, it doesn't mean I like hardcore explicit Yaoi that you can sometimes come across, like I said I like it if it is visually pleasing; and once you go so far it ceases to be something I enjoy looking at. But still it remains a personal preference I suppose.

Yes, but why?
The entire point of this thread is, as I made it, mature discussion concerning this topic. If you hate it, say why, please. If you like it, say why, please.
"Sick bastards" and "hawt hawt bishies buttsexx zomg" does not a good discussion make.
That being said, the second last option on the poll there was meant to be a joke to poke fun at the "yaoi is morally wrong, because it is two guys kissing and that's gross and immoral and you'll all burn in hell for being fags, and--OMG LOOK AT THE GIRLS MAKING OUT <333" boys out there. I can't believe people actually voted seriously for it?
*gives Grave a cookie*
Twilight King
i selected "other"
i dont really mind it, but i dont like it either i kinda see it as i like yuri all the same and i can see why girls would like yaoi lol. 1+2 > 2 lol. from there i suppose its up to the reader's imagination (and perversiveness, if thats a word.) just proves to me that girls are perverts (or dudes... gay or straight)
Twilight King, Apr 14, 2005
Twilight King said:
So, what about when the yaoi is drawn in a style that makes the boys look very feminine? If you like yuri why wouldn't you like this then? Since it's all just art. Is it just the boobs?
I notice alot of guys in the Mikoto FC going on and on about how pretty she is, without realizing that she has the same face structure as Sasuke. Does that mean they find him attractive too?
Grave said:
Yeah, they just won't admit to it. (;
Basis behind all the "Sasu-gay" bashing.
Back on topic; the yaoi in naruto (and in all mangas in general) provide for a humorous touch. And It's the only fun aspect in naruto now actually.
I enjoy Yaoi art (greatly I must add). It can be exceptionally well drawn, lovely and appealing, as long as it doesnt become too hardcore (the same goes for yuri, I'm not trying to bash hardcore yaoi here). I enjoy it greatly as a form of art and I really dont mind having yaoi hints thrown all over the place in a manga or anime. Hence I voted
"I enjoy yaoi"
and abf; love your new avy XD

I adore yaoi. It's kinda hard for me to say exactly why I do. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it's different from what is in the show, and my love of rare pairings yaoi or otherwise. I also like looking at good art or reading a good fic about a pairing and trying to figure out how that could realistically work out. Then again, it could also just be that I'm just peverted.

moe said:
Oh no you di'n't!
Honestly, I feel the same. I would have dropped Naruto ages ago if it weren't for the fun subtext going on, and all the crack that can result.
I wouldn't watch Naruto if it weren't for fun characters like Haku or Zabuza or Orochimaru or Kimimaro or Kabuto that just make it fun to discuss, even if it happens to be mildly annoying to watch/read at times.
abfluvver said:
I saw that one coming
Precisly. Naruto is bleh (always been actually ever since the Zabuza arc, but I dont wish to be killed by narutards so I'll shut up now). Even Kishimoto realizes the power of the the yaoi & yuri hints Naruto contains. Otherwise, why would he mention Sasuke's and Naruto's kiss more than three times in the data book? He even used the words "passionate kiss" ( I believe you mentioned that once abf ). He realizes the yaoi subtext the manga contains and its effect to rally fans, therefore he keeps on adding more and more of it. Which a good thing.
I don't mind that others like Yaoi. I hate it being forced in my face, ya know, because I don't like it.
In cases where there is strong evidence (i.e. the creator intended it to be that way (demons of darkness comes to mind)), I don't really mind. But people throwing couples together just for the sake of throwing couples together bugs me.
Plus, where others see Yaoi subtext, I just see a bunch of guys being friends. I can see where people might get the idea for yaoi couplings in Naruto, but I really dislike it when people shove it in your face and bager you for NOT seeing it.
Meh... it's not my cup of tea.

I've posted my thoughts on a previous thread, but here I go again.
For me the enjoyment of yaoi really depends on what level it is at. Most written and fanfic yaoi is utter crap.
The more visual types are more tasteful and I can appreciate it from an artist's point of view. As soon as it starts getting hardcore with penetration or licking or whatnot, then it becomes gross.
Finally there is yaoi in the actual series itself. I find it more or less entertaining; aside from adding comic relief, it serves to better character development. It is also a delightful distraction from the main characters.
UltraSynaptic SeizureNinja, Apr 14, 2005
Heh, trust me I understand that Yaoi/shonen-ai hints are what keep a lot of girls interested in shonen series (arg, am probably generalizing, but I've always thought as Yaoi being a girl's thing and Yuri being a guy's thing...).
Zazuba/Haku I can totally see. Hell, I'm not a fan of yaoi but I think that couple is great. However, I don't get Kakashi/Iruka, Shika/Chouji, Shino/Kiba, etc.. pairings that have no basis. I can see people interpreting actions between Naruto and Gaara, and Naruto and Sasuke as shonen-ai or hints towards it. I don't. But I guess it's all how you look at it. *shrugs*
That, and it makes reading (or at least browsing) for good Naruto fanfic near impossible. (and don't get me started on PoT fanfic. ugh...)
I feel the same way about yaoi/shounen ai (I prefer the latter, but for the purposes of this discussion they might as well be the same thing) as I do about het or yuri. A pairing is a pairing. If I think it makes sense (or if it's cute XD), I like it; if not, then I couldn't care less.
It just so happens that SasuNaruSasu (I dislike the whole fixed seme/uke thing) is my favorite pairing in the series. I think it's the pairing with the most canonical support (like you guys said, Kishimoto drops all sorts of hints), and they're my two favorite characters, and they're cute (yeah, I did mention that was a criteria ), so yeah. When it comes to this series, I certainly like yaoi.
bean said:
Certain concepts like love and passion can often transcend gender, and one can take that important lesseon away from yaoi and other stroies (real and fictional) where the idea of "man and woman in love" takes a back seat to "person and person in love."
Very well said, bean. ::applause + rep::

At first I was disgusted with yaoi. But I was a troubled youth back then. Now, I'm indiferent to it. What I dislike is the swarms of yaoi fics that seem to spawn for no reason and lack any basis or reason. It's like reading a mary sue fic. To my knowledge, I have read one yaoi fic. It was a NaruSasuSaku I believe. Anyway, it was a well written story and I'll admit I enjoyed it. I was greatly freaked out a certain points but I enjoyed it over all. My point is, it's not really my thing, but I'm welling to read it. IF it's a damn good story, that is.

Sick bastards? Do yourself a favor: Don't ever visit Japan.

Yaoi =/= Mary Sues.
While both stem from an obvious wish-fulfillment on the author's part (if we're talking fanfic here), Mary Sues are called Mary Sues because they are so unbelievably realized and excrutiatingly bad.
I am of the opinion that a skilled writer can make practically anything work out, or give some sort of isnerted logic to it. Whether it be a crack het. pairing like NejiSaku, a crack yuri pairing like TemaTayu, or a crack yaoi pairing like KakaIru.
Mary Sues cease to be Mary Sues if they are written in an appealing manner (then they are just OCs). Yaoi is always yaoi, no matter how bad or good it is.
DesertLily
The thing that irks me about yaoi is that they take characters who are obviously straight, and then say, "omfg, look at the series, it's so obvious that he's in love with this guy, there's hints all over!"
Naruto is straight. He's a little pervert, hence sexy no jutsu and harem no jutsu. He likes Sakura. And he's sort of turning into a little Jiraiya. Jiraiya ain't gay either.
Kakashi is straight. He's reading dirty books that Jiraiya wrote, and let me once again remind you that Jiraiya is straight. Kakashi has never shown a single sign of being gay, ever.
Iruka is not gay. He's the first person in the series to have fallen for sexy no jutsu. Would a GAY guy, much less one that had a crush on Kakashi, be turned on by a naked woman? Not any of the guys I know. And to those who are commenting on the fact that Iruka's always blushing when Kakashi is around...note the context. I haven't seen the whole anime, but the first time Iruka was around Kakashi, he was asking about Naruto and was merely happy to hear that he was doing well. And the second time, Kakashi pretty much humiliated Iruka in front of the group meeting with Sarutobi. You'd be blushing too if someone basically said that your opinion sucked. Not to mention the fact that Iruka didn't know much about Kakashi at all until he "read" Kakashi's record. Doesn't sound like there's some long romantic connection between the two.
Sasuke isn't gay. He's just a prick. Well....that and the fact that he doesn't like all the Sasuke idiots. But he wants to restore his clan. How do you restore a clan with another guy? And just because Naruto is his closest friend does NOT mean he's in love with him, unless all guys that have guys as their best friends are gay. The only reason that there are signs is because of a little accident at the beginning of the series, and the fact that they are always together since they are in the same team. Although I WILL admit that I have a lot of fun saying that Sasuke wants Naruto and such, I don't think it's true, and I don't think yaoi situations are a turn-on.
Gaara isn't gay. In fact, I think he has a fetish for boobies.
ANYWAY! I put way too much time and thought into this. It doesn't bother me THAT much, but when obsessive fangirls get really into it, and start trying to justify all these tiny reasons that make it "obvious" the guys are gay....no. No, they aren't. I just don't like having other people's fantasies forced upon me as the truth, when it's really just theorizing and fantasizing.
DesertLily, Apr 15, 2005
@ DesertLily.
Most yaoi is pure asthetics, as most yuri is. KakaIru has risen prominantly as the pairing with one of the biggest bases in the Naruto fandom because the two just look hot, together. And as suzukiblue once wrote, "it's not how the interact within the series, it's how they might interact when we don't see them".
And also, everyone seems to be conveniently side-stepping over something we call "bisexuality". And then there's people who seem to have no sexual itnerest in anyone at all, which people will stick in the "straight" category by default. Kakashi, for example. We can only assume that Icha Icha Paradise is smut. And at any rate, Kakashi has shown no sexual interest in any character at all, just interest in his book. Reading a book that we are guessing is heterosexual smut isn't "striaght" to me anymore than Kakashi taking the time to write over a near-nekkid Sasuke's crotch to seal Oro's lovebite while secluded in a back room is "gay".
Ah hell, all characters are bisexual to me, anyways (unless -explicitly- stated otherwise). They're fictional, which means I can crack the hell out of them and pair whoever I want together in fanart.
And why do you say yaoi is being forced upon you? I mean, unless someone physically ties you down and makes you look at buttsex all day, I fail to see how yaoi can not, in your case, be avoided if you happen to take enough issue with it that you would need to take the time to write out such a long post.
You left the gayest characters off of your post's list, anyways ^^
Basilimux
I don't mind yaoi... I guess it's ok sometimes.
Basilimux, Apr 15, 2005
I agree with DesertLily. I don't have a problem with yaoi if it has basis in it (one being in mind is Haku/Zabuza which may be so, even Shizune/Tsunade. I'm not even gonna comment on Orochimaru). But taking obviously straight people, ie: Shikamaru, Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, Lee, Jiraiya, Chouji, etc., and saying that they're gay is unrealistic. That would have to mean that every person with a close friend, or every person with a rival, or every person who has an ambition and doesn't have time to flirt with girls or whatever, is gay.
I don't care about the actual yaoi mangas since they have basis in truth, or the ambiguous characters in the shonen mangas, but when you're saying things like "Oh Sasuke's hatred for his brother masks a deeper feeling of attraction and lust", or "Naruto's and Sasuke's rivalry evolves into lust and love", or "Kakashi feels excited whenever he argues with Iruka and is starting to fall in love" or "Chouji and Shikamaru have been friends for a long time, they must have grown in love with each other" for straight characters, that's where it becomes Out-of-Character and they might as well be a Mary Sue since it has no basis on reality for both situations.
Maybe I'm just not a fan of unrealistic/extremely unrealistic pairings and out-of-characterness or something. For me, it would be the equivalent of seeing Chouji get together with Kurenai. In other words, I can't see it happening, that's why I'm not into it.
Sho, Apr 15, 2005
Going by what is behind the scenes of the series is, nontheless, making stuff up without valid support, which is what I'm going against. I'm just stating my opinion and supporting it with evidences (though of course I'm kidding around with it some). IMPO, I think it's kind of dumb to assume that everyone is bisexual. But that's just me.
And my roomate is a yaoi fanatic, so if I want to eat or sleep, I kinda do. Unless you're suggesting that I shield my eyes from her wall of guys making out, which really isn't fair. Plus the fact that I'd have to avoid many websites that I enjoy, and I'd have to disable avas and sigs. Sure, nobody is holding my eyes open and making me watch gay guys make out, but that's not the only way for something to be forced upon you. If you want me to be technical or politically correct, fine. It's "unavoidable".
And you seem to be assuming that I'm offended by it. I never said I was, although my post did seem to have an edge like that. But no, I'm not really offended so much as tired of it and think that it's dumb and overrated. Just stating an opinion.
Haku and Zabuza = totally gay
I didn't feel like going through everyone...just the ones that I see the most.
Esponer
Okay, to be honest about this, I dislike it intensely. I'm trusting that everyone reading this topic will be mature enough not to flame/bad rep me for an opinion, so here I go...
1. They change the characters.
This goes for virtually all fanfiction, really. They all screw up character personalities, although at least other fanfics are trying to keep the personalities the same. Yaoi (and indeed yuri) completely ignore this. They throw people together for the very reason that it would never, ever happen and the destruction of the character personalities annoys me a lot. Sasuke and Naruto? For crying out loud, Sasuke is an avenger who couldn't care less, but he's probably straight anyway. Naruto is definitely straight, and doesn't see Sasuke in that way at all. Why do people have to butcher the series so much just to draw/write some porn?
2. They degrade the characters.
As far as I'm concerned, Gaara is to be empathised with due to his childhood trauma and, as a character, exists on various levels, but none of these include him getting it on with Naruto or Kankurou. These yaoi scenes degrade the character's true selves and make a mockery out of some bloody good storylines. Having seen just a few yaoi scenes, I already struggle to see those characters the way they should be seen now and I hate yaoi/yuri/etc. for it.
3. If it's meant to be art, I just don't think it works.
If I want to see pretty pictures, I don't want to see two naked males fondling each other. Don't get me wrong here: I don't want to see two naked females fondling each other either. If I want to see aesthetically pleasing pictures and appreciate them for their art, what I really don't want to see are penises hanging out. I don't find anything artistically beautiful about the naked male human body, or indeed the naked female human body. Somebody draw a goddamned flower.
4. If it's meant to be sexually arousing, then no.
Because firstly, I'm completely straight (yeah, sometimes I think it'd be more interesting if I was at least bi-curious, but I'm completely straight and I can't change that). Secondly, I'm highly unlikely to be sexually aroused by any drawings. Thirdly, the fact it's based on characters from a series like Naruto is an immediate turn-off.
e.g. (an example with a female). Input: Tsunade? My mind replies: Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage. Input: Tsunade's breasts? My mind replies: Nope, Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage.
Just not gonna' work!
5. As a heterosexual male, I do suffer from the "two guys? wrong!" syndrome.
In any sort of discussion, or when it comes to rights, I put this aside. But to be quite honest, even if I could see how one could appreciate the art behind, say, yuri, I couldn't extend that to yaoi simply because of this. I wouldn't let that bias affect me in important matters, but I wouldn't look at any yaoi even if I could appreciate the art in other couplings.
Esponer, Apr 15, 2005

My $.02:
I don't care for yaoi, although sometimes I think it's amusing. Yaoi within the Naruto universe I am especially not a fan of. I find it to be an extremely big stretch for most of the male Naruto characters to have sex with each other, especially those that are 12-13. If I wanted to see a masculine character have sex with a feminized character, I'd just look into standard hentai (not that I ever do that... :eyeroll ) That said, I generally know where yaoi is and I can avoid it, so for all of you who are into it, all the power to you.
The bigger problem I have in my little corner of existence (real life) is with those that are fans of yaoi. I associate with a large number of people who are a member of the anime club at my school, a decent number of which are big yaoi fans. All of these self-declared yaoi fans, except for maybe one, have shown themselves repeatedly to be extremely shallow and unpleasant to be around. When they watch anime in club, they squeal at the slightest hint of yaoi tendencies during a show. Their obsession with "pretty boys" has extended into the real world that they will ignore many of my friends in favor of the ones who are extremely nice to look at, even if they don't get any attention back. This has caused some of my friends a great deal of irritation and discomfort.
This is all the more annoying, since, as far I can tell, the majority of yaoi-fans on these forums seem to be reasonable people.

Jabari Parker agrees to $40 million, 2-year deal with Bulls
Andrew Seligman
PMN Basketball
CHICAGO — Jabari Parker and the Chicago Bulls agreed Saturday to a $40 million, two-year contract, bringing the talented and oft-injured forward to his hometown team.
Agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed the deal shortly after the Milwaukee Bucks rescinded their qualifying offer. That made Parker an unrestricted free agent, clearing the way for him to join the rebuilding Bulls.
The 23-year-old Parker led Chicago's Simeon Career Academy to four state championships and starred for one season at Duke before the Bucks drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick in 2014.
The Bulls are banking on him to stay healthy after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee twice in four seasons with Milwaukee.
"Jabari is a 23-year-old player who is a natural fit with our young core, and is a proven scorer at the NBA level," general manager Gar Forman said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming him back to his hometown."
Parker has averaged 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds. His best season was in 2016-17 when he averaged 20.1 points in 51 games before tearing his ACL a second time. He played 31 games last year, averaging 12.6 points and 4.9 rebounds.
"Jabari and I felt it was in the best interest of both he and the team to rescind our qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent," Bucks general manager Jon Horst said. "We appreciate everything Jabari has brought to our team and our community over the last four years and we wish him well."
Bartelstein praised the Bucks for "working side-by-side with us."
"From the moment the Bucks drafted Jabari with the No. 2 pick in the 2014 Draft, they have gone out of their way to treat Jabari as a member of the Bucks family, and this is another perfect example of doing exactly that, and we're very appreciative," he said.
Parker goes from playing alongside superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to trying to help the Bulls rise in the Eastern Conference after a 27-win season. He figures to start at small forward, with Kris Dunn and Zach LaVine in the backcourt, Lauri Markkanen at power forward and either rookie Wendell Carter Jr. or veteran Robin Lopez at centre.
The son of former NBA player Sonny Parker, Jabari Parker was one of the most highly touted prospects to come out of Illinois.
He played at the same high school as Derrick Rose, who was drafted by the Bulls with the No. 1 pick in 2008 and became the youngest MVP in league history three years later. Of course, knee injuries derailed his run in Chicago. And the Bulls are hoping Parker's injuries are behind him.
Chicago also released guard Julyan Stone and forward Paul Zipser on Saturday.

Indie artist Trevor Hall balances his charity work on behalf of orphans with his burgeoning career.
If Bono, Marley and Cobain had a love child, his name would be Trevor Hall.
With a deeply soulful sound that far exceeds his 23 years, Trevor Hall has already racked up some illustrious career points. He signed his first major record deal as a senior in high school, he's toured and played with the likes of Matisyahu, Los Lobos, Ben Harper and Stevie Nicks, and his song "Other Ways" is featured on the Shrek The Third soundtrack.
Besides raw talent, passion and mad song writing skills, one of the most notable characteristics about Trevor Hall is his genuine love and humility—for his craft, for people, for the world and for his ability to play in it.
"My music is acoustic, folk, reggae, hip hop and lots of other things, and it's meant to inspire and uplift and just make the world, you know, a better place," he says.
For Hall, the journey began in South Carolina, where he was born and raised. "I would come home (from school), pick up my guitar and write songs for a couple of hours. It was my favorite time of the whole day," he recalls.
At age 16, Hall moved to California and attended Idyllwild Arts Academy in the San Jacinto Mountains, east of L.A., where he studied classical guitar and got serious about music.
Hall signed with Geffen before graduating high school, and he recorded an EP, The Rascals Have Returned for the label.
After being dropped, Hall's songwriting skills flourished. He partnered with his good friend, percussionist Chris Steele and recorded and released a 14 song album called "This is Blue" in that same year.
Hall's eclectic mix of reggae, acoustic rock and profound lyricism quickly earned him fans across the country.
One day, he took his acoustic guitar to Vanguard Records, played some tunes, and they listened. Hall signed his second record deal and released his self titled album in July 2009.
The first single from the album, "Unity" (which he co-wrote with his good friend Matisyahu), debuted at #7 on the Billboard Heatseeker's chart.
"A song says a lot of different things, and not just from one place. But there are just themes that are really prevalent. I was just thinking about the Mumbai terrorist attacks, and Israel and Palestine, and thinking a lot about all this fighting. And that isn't really anything new, but like I said, sometimes themes are just prevalent. And it all just kinda erupted in this song," he says.
For Hall—who cites Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Bob Dylan and Bjork as his main influences—not all of his influences come from music.
Trevor has been to India three times, and incorporates meditation and vegetarianism into his life. "I have a place that I go in India, a little ashram there. I'm involved in a lot of things for children," he says.
When not devoting time and energy to helping India's less fortunate, Hall is working hard to rise to even greater professional heights. Currently, he's getting ready to hit the road with reggae legend Jimmy Cliff in support of his upcoming album, Chasing the Flame, which will be released on June 29.
This author remembers when, years ago, as a little girl growing up on reservation land, Chief took me to the Reservoir. It was a sacred place, reserved only for 'real' Indians, which I was not (due to my mother's fair Irish skin).
Chief picked up a pebble and dropped it into the glass-like surface of the water, and we silently watched the ripples as they expanded, one from the other, eventually disappearing into the void.
"To understand that is divine," was all he said.
Chief has long since returned to the earth from which he came, and I have long since left reservation land and grown into a woman. Still, as I find myself listening to Trevor Hall's music, I am reminded of this simple exchange between a white girl and a full-fledged Indian Chief—a big message of few words and lots of silences.
Ultimately, that is what I love best about Hall's music; his ability to create meaning within the silences, like the spaces between the ripples.

Q: how to split a number in javascript Linux Firefox getting incorrect value, windows show the correct value how can I split a number into sub digits. I have a  number 20:55 n need to split in to two parts as 20 and 55.
var mynumber = 20:55;
var split = mynumber.toString();
document.write("Hour : " +  split[0]);
document.write("Minutes : " +  split[1]);

but am getting wrong value after toString() function call.
EDIT: 1  This is what I want. This is working fine but only works with windows. In linux Firefox am not getting the correct value in function .. something like 12.200000000000000001 instead of 12.25
<script type="text/javascript">
var myarray = new Array();
myarray =   [[12.25, 1],[13.25,1]];
//alert(myarray[0][0]);
func(myarray[0][0]) ;
function func(n) {
    var split = n.split(".");
    document.writeln("Number  : " +  n); // Number  : 12.25
    document.writeln("Hour : " +  split[0]); // Hour : 12
    document.writeln("Minutes : " +  split[1]); // Minutes : 25
}
</script>

A: Use split() function
var number_array=mynumber.split(":")

On your example
var mynumber = "20:55";
var split = mynumber.split(":");
document.write("Hour : " +  split[0]);
document.write("Minutes : " +  split[1]);

More on this
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_split.asp

A: You are using split(), a string function, on a number. Use this:
    var split = n.toString().split(".");

Works perfectly on Firefox 3.6.3 (and Opera 10.60, and Chromium 5), Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

A: Use split function
var numSplit = mynumber.split(':');

Then you can access each value using numSplit[0] and numSplit[1]

While the term "base metals". Base metals are also known as industrial metals and are traded in special exchanges in the commodities market. The name probably arose because these materials are inexpensive and more commonly found than precious metals such as gold and platinum, base metals are invaluable to the global economy because of their utility and ubiquity. Copper, a leading base metal, is often called the "metal with a Ph.D. in economics" because its widespread use makes its price very sensitive to global economic trends. By Barry Norman, Investors Trading Academy.

It is becoming increasingly expensive to bring new base metal operations online, which means prices will need to be strong to justify new mines, TD Newcrest analyst Greg Barnes said in Vancouver this week.
Our waste is worth money. Recovering it has started up a new global industry worth billions. It is called Urban Mining and it appears to be the solution for many of our environmental problems and our energy needs. And it is hot. A ton of broken mobile phones, computers or other electronic waste contains sixty times the amount of gold a ton of gold ore has. Moreover, it is easier to get at. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of total world demand for rare metals can be covered by urban mining and this is only the beginning. Urban Mining has a different, almost hilarious consequence: for years we have dumped our electronic waste in developing countries, with our eyes closed. There, it was to be recycled. But in Africa only one quarter of the gold, platinum and coltan is recovered whereas the newest technology in Belgium recovers almost 99 percent. So somewhere there's a profit to be made. The NGO 'Closing the Loop' is buying up dead mobile phones and computer parts that we have dumped in developing countries making our waste a desirable sales item over there.

Sampling A Mineralized Quartz & Sulfide Exposure On A Windy Day!


The focus of our medical endeavors is to provide primary health care for the Tasba Raya area.
Much of this involves dealing with acute needs, such as injuries, infections, and childbirth. It also includes helping the villagers receive care for medical problems requiring transportation out of the area for surgery or other treatment.
One health issue that deserves special attention is that of birth control. Most of the women conceive every year from their teens until they are no longer able to have children.We provide contraceptives to help prevent women who are already sickly from having to endure the additional physical strain of pregnancy.
In addition to operating a clinic in Francia Sirpi, the team takes weekly trips to operate clinics the surrounding villages. There are six villages in the circuit--Santa Clara, La Esperanza, Wisconsin, Tasba Pain, Miguel Bikan, and Ti Kamp. Each week the team visits a different village.
The ultimate goal of the mission is to be able to rely largely on preventive medicine, to increase health and reduce the need for expensive medications. Health education is the fundamental step toward this goal.
As patients are treated for their ailments, they are taught how their sicknesses could have been prevented. Most are largely ignorant of the most basic health principles, including everything from basic hygiene to nutrition.
Clean water is an absolute necessity for good health. When a pump on one the villages' wells stops working, the villagers remove its cap and draw out water with a bucket. Without a cap, the well quickly becomes contaminated. When the villagers see dead frogs floating in the water, they go back to using the dirty creek water again.
The mission is developing an ongoing well assessment and reconditioning program. The twelve lay pastors will double as health leaders, reporting problems with the wells.

A brief look at adult and juvenile Shasta Salamanders, that refused to move very much for the camera.
The following description is mostly based on the traditional descriptions of Hydromantes shastae before it was split into three species.
The three species are morphologically cryptic species, which means that you can't tell them apart by appearance in pictures or in hand.
According to the authors who first described H. wintu it is "A morphologically cryptic member of the Hydromantes shastae species complex that differs from H. shastae in having a shorter long digit (third) on the pes, and from both it and H. wintu in DFA of morphometric traits.... It differs further from both species in allozymes and in mtDNA sequences.... **
Adults measure 1 3/4 - 2 1/2 inches long (4.4 - 6.3 cm) from snout to vent length, and from 3 - 4 1/3 inches (7.5 - 11 cm) in total length.
A small stocky salamander with a short tail, webbed feet, a flattened body, and a very long mushroom-like tongue capable of extending out up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) from the front of the mouth.
13 costal grooves, and nasolabial grooves.
Not as adapted for crack dwelling as other Hydromantes species with less toe webbing and the body is not as flattened.
Dark reddish brown above, mottled with grayish green to tan specks, with some yellow on the tail.
Venter is grayish.
A member of family Plethodontidae, the Plethodontid or Lungless Salamanders.
Plethodontid salamanders do not breathe through lungs. They conduct respiration through their skin and the tissues lining their mouth. This requires them to live in damp environments on land and to move about on the ground only during times of high humidity. (Plethodontid salamanders native to California do not inhabit streams or bodies of water but they are capable of surviving for a short time if they fall into water.)
Plethodontid salamanders are also distinguished by their naso-labial grooves, which are vertical slits between the nostrils and upper lip that are lined with glands associated with chemoreception.
All Plethodontid Salamanders native to California lay eggs in moist places on land.
The young develop in the egg and hatch directly into a tiny terrestrial salamander with the same body form as an adult.
(They do not hatch in the water and begin their lives as tiny swimming larvae breathing through gills like some other types of salamanders.)
Active at night during fall, winter, and spring rains.
They may also be active underground in the summer - over 20 were discovered in a cave in August.
Can be found under surface objects during daytime.
Adapted to climb easily over smooth rock surfaces, using webbed feet and the tail as an aid.
Defense mechanisms include raising up the head and tail and flattening the body, producing sticky toxic skin secretions, and tightly coiling the body and tail and rolling downhill (the same escape tactic used by other Hydromantes species.) (You can watch a short video of a different species of salamander using this coiling, rolling and springing escape technique here.)
Probably feeds on insects and other small invertebrates.
Little is known about the breeding behavior of this species.
Reproduction is terrestrial.
Females apparently lay eggs in moist limestone shelters in late summer and brood them until they hatch in late fall.
Two clutches of 9 eggs were found in a cave by Gorman in 1956.
They would have hatched in late October or early November.
Young develop completely in the egg and hatch fully formed.
Found around cliff faces, vertical cavern walls and level ground in mixed forests of Douglas fir, pines, and oaks. Lives in moist caves and rock cracks. Mostly associated with limestone outcrops, but one population has been found in a volcanic outcrop, and others in forest areas with no rock outcrops.
Endemic to California in a fairly small area in the Cascade range near human-made Shasta Lake, Shasta County.
Most locations where H. shastae have been found are at elevations between 800 - 2000 ft. (244 - 610 meters.)
In 2007 a single adult was found at 3,800 ft. (1158 meters) on Bohemotash Mountain in Shasta County.
(Len Lindstrand III. California Fish and Game 94[2):119-121. 2008)
Hydromantes shastae was originally discovered in the early 1900's by Eustace Farlong, but not formally described until they were re-discovered by Joseph Gorman in 1950.
(Joe Gorman and C. L. Camp. A New Cave Species of Salamander of the Genus Hydromantes from California, with Notes on Habits and Habitat. Copeia Vol. 1953, No. 1 [Feb. 26, 1953], pp. 39-43)
Hydromantes shastae is Split into Three Species in 2018
As a result of mitochondrial DNA analysis, Hydromantes shastae was split into three cryptic species* with no readily discernible morphological differences that can be used to identify them in the field. All three species occur in the same relatively small area around Shasta Lake that made up the range of what was formerly the single species Hydromantes shastae.
The three species are:
Shasta Salamander - Hydromantes shastae - Gorman and Camp, 1953
Samwel Shasta Salamander - Hydromantes samweli - Bingham, Papenfuss, Lindstrand III, and Wake, 2018
Wintu Shasta Salamander - Hydromantes wintu - Bingham, Papenfuss, Lindstrand III, and Wake, 2018

Phylogeography and Species Boundaries in the Hydromantes shastae Complex, with Description of Two New Species (Amphibia; Caudata; Plethodontidae)
Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology
Volume 161, Number 10 4 April 2018
H. samweli is one of five species of Hydromantes, all of which are endemic to California, including the two other Shasta complex Hydromantes and H. brunus, and
H. platycephalus.
Eight species of similar salamanders once placed in the genus Hydromantes but now placed in the genus Speleomantes occur in Italy and southern France and on the island of Sardinia. They are the only plethodontid salamanders found outside of the Americas. (A new species of lungless salamander found in Asia in 2004 was placed in a new genus.) Why Hydromantes/Speleomantes are found only in Europe and California is still a biogeographical mystery.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Detecting Cryptic Species Using Allozyme Data, (Bruce, Jaeger and Houck (editors) The Biology of Plethodontid Salamanders, 2000.) Richard Highton suggests that Hydromantes shastae consists of two species. He describes a 1978 allozyme analysis by Wake et al of 5 samples from near Lake Shasta that showed one sample from near Potter and Marble Creeks diverging from the other four, and recognized that it might represent a separate species, though he did not recommend any taxonomic changes. The four other samples are closer genetically to H. platycephalus than they are to the Potter-Marble Creek form.
"This species shows great genetic substructuring, especially unusual given its small geographic range (Wake et al., 1978). The genetic data were analyzed by Larson et al. (1984), who found that the species conforms to a genetic structure and pattern of gene flow in accordance with an island model ... which means that effectively no species-wide gene flow is taking place now or in the recent past." (David Wake and Theodore Papenfuss in Lanoo 2005)
Hydromantes shastae - Shasta Salamander (Stebbins 1954, 1966, 1985, 2003, 2012)
Listed as a threatened species by the state of California under the name Hydromantes shastae.
The limited habitat of this species is threatened by increased recreation around Shasta Lake, limestone quarrying, and raising of lake water levels. Much of its habitat was probably lost in the construction of Shasta Dam in 1949, and from road building and mining.
Raising the height of the Shasta Dam could increase the size of Lake Shasta to the point that it would flood and destroy this salamander's habitat, putting it at risk of extinction. For decades, organizations wanting to provide more water to Central Valley farmers have tried to raise the height of the dam. In 1972, California passed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act which prohibits making the dam any taller, but the federal government under the Trump administration has chosen to ignore the law and proceed with a plan to make the dam higher.
Before it was split into three species in 2018, environmental organizations petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2012 to determine if the Shasta Salamander should be given protection under the Endangered Species Act. The federal agency was required by law to make a decision in one year, but failed to do so in six years. In 2018, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sued to force a decision after the federal government proceeded with plans to increase the height of the dam.

State of Gwinnett : Chairman Charlotte Nash addresses past woes, bright future; promotes citizenship
January 16, 2013, 7:12 pm /2 Comments
By David Pendered
Gwinnett County commission Chairman Charlotte Nash laid her cards on the table Wednesday in her "State of the County" address.

The speech presented some challenges – the economy is harsh, the county budget is lean and getting leaner. Fresh allegations of public corruption in DeKalb County are reminders of Gwinnett's recent and continuing problems.
Nash met it all head-on in her opening remarks: "Gwinnett's story has been filled with ups and downs and plots twists along the way. The last few chapters were painful at times, and a few characters have been removed. But overall, Gwinnett's story is a tale of success and a testament to those who made it happen."
Nash concluded her speech asking the public to help in the work that leads toward the bright future she envisions for her native county: Serve on a board, become a volunteer.
"Help us write the next chapter of Gwinnett's fascinating history," Nash said.
Teamwork and transparency were the two themes Nash addressed through the course of her 30-minute speech.
Teamwork built the county and will propel it forward. Transparency will help rebuild the public trust, Nash said.

Nash's complete presentation was online before the close of business Wednesday. A video of the speech will be broadcast Friday at 8 p.m., online and on local access channels.
There's no getting around the issue of public corruption in Georgia's second most populous county:
Nash was elected in March 2011 to fulfill the unexpired term of a chairman who resigned during a a local grand jury inquiry into land deals;
A former commissioner has been indicted on charges of bribery and other transgressions;
Four guilty pleas have been tendered in a federal corruption investigation that netted a commissioner for selling her vote.
In focusing on teamwork, Nash took the unusual step of identifying almost everyone on the team that keeps the public sector running, along with those who propel the local economy.

The public sector team includes the county's congressional delegation and Georgia's senators; four county commissioners; city officials; public school teachers and those in higher education; police and courts, fire and rescue; the county's delegation at the state Capitol; not to mention Debbie Savage, who Nash said works in her office and keeps her on time to meetings and knowledgeable of the agendas.
"Finally, I want to say thank you to the business community," Nash said. "I want to say I appreciate the role ya'll play in Gwinnett's success. As you build your business, you build our economy. And yes, I said: You build your business. Thank you for what you have done to make the Gwinnett story."
From the opening through the closing remarks, the crowd was attentive – no sounds of clinking silverware came from about 500 guests who were finishing their meal at the annual event co-hosted by the Council for Quality Growth and Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.
Nash provided detailed descriptions of the accomplishments of 2012 and a look ahead at 2013. Look to her speech for the details of the past, and the highlights of the coming year are to include:

Water4Life is a foundation that fights for the ability of poor people to provide safe drinking water to themselves. Water4Life does this by providing knowledge and experience and by teaching people how they can use simple techniques to create safe drinking water from available water sources. We mainly use so called ceramic filter candles to achieve this.
Water4Life aims to reach as many people as possible in the 'bottom of the pyramid'. We provide people with an affordable option to provide safe drinking water to themselves. Therefore we produce the purifiers against lowest possible costs, but always with small entrepeneurs that can acquire a fair salary with it. Those who join our program are asked to make a small investment themselves, for instance in the form of the purchase of the first set of filter candles. Depending on local conditions we use this income for the benefit of the local population, e.g. by the expansion of the number of water purifiers. A steel waterpurifier will easily last 10 years and provides one familiy many years with safe drinking water. The user will have to replace the filter candles regularly.
Water4Life strives for a lasting/sustainable effect of the aid we provide. Therefore we concentrate on three activities: First we help local workshops to make good quality water filter housings.
Sedondly we stive to establish a local trading group that will either import filter candles of the required high quality or the group purchases the candles from a high quality local manufacturer. This trading group can subsequently also provide a lasting after sales of filter candles.
Third we give training to future users of the water purifiers to create awareness about the dangers of drinking unsafe water and the advantages of the use of the water purfifiers. Preferably we give our training to employees of local organisations so that they can spread the training even further.

by Trevor Royle
The Battle of Culloden has gone down in history as the last major battle fought on British soil: a vicious confrontation between Scottish forces supporting the Stuart claim to the throne and the English Royal Army. But this wasn't just a conflict between the Scots and the English, the battle was also part of a much larger campaign to protect the British Isles from the growing threat of a French invasion.
In Trevor Royle's vivid and evocative narrative, we are drawn into the ranks, on both sides, alongside doomed Jacobites fighting fellow Scots dressed in the red coats of the Duke of Cumberland's Royal Army. And we meet the Duke himself, a skilled warrior who would gain notoriety due to the reprisals on Highland clans in the battle's aftermath. Royle also takes us beyond the battle as the men of the Royal Army, galvanized by its success at Culloden, expand dramatically and start to fight campaigns overseas in America and India in order to secure British interests; we see the revolutionary use of fighting techniques first implemented at Culloden; and the creation of professional fighting forces.
Culloden changed the course of British history by ending all hope of the Stuarts reclaiming the throne, cementing Hanoverian rule and forming the bedrock for the creation of the British Empire. Royle's lively and provocative history looks afresh at the period and unveils its true significance, not only as the end of a struggle for the throne but the beginning of a new global power.
Genre: Humanities / History
On Sale: 4th February 2016
This lovely, exciting book is the perfect introduction to Culloden and why it matters. Trevor Royle is a lucid, elegant writer who excels at explaining the tactics and techniques of warfare and the dynamics of battle
[An] excellent account . . . splendid history
An absorbing, fast-paced chronicle
Trevor Royle is an accomplished military historian of the 17th and 18th centuries, and of the martial Scots generally, and describes the Forty-five with shrewdness and balance . . . His prose is lyrical but hardheaded, and the people-centred narrative is always engaging
Allan Mallinson, Spectator
Even someone tolerably well-acquainted with eighteenth century history is likely to find much that is new . . . Royle tells the story splendidly and makes his argument cogently. His book deserves a wide readership
Allan Massie, Scotsman
[A] refreshing, incisive book . . . Royle's vivid narrative resembles a picaresque novel in which the characters are beset by unexpected strokes of good luck and misfortune
Lawrence James, The Times


Pythagorean philosopher and necromancer; born about the year 3 B.C.; died, according to some sources, in the thirtyeighth year of his age. In Arabic literature his name is cited in the form "Balinas" or "Belenus," which has often been mistaken for "Pliny." He is mentioned in connection with magical writings, and is called by the Arabs Ṣahib al-Ṭalismat ("The Author of Talismans"). They attribute to Apollonius "Risalah fi Tat'hir al-RuḦaniyyat fi al-Markabat," a work that treats of the influence of pneumatic agencies in the world of sense, and which also deals with talismans. An introduction ("Mebo") to this treatise on talismans, "Iggeret al-Ṭalasm," was composed by an anonymous writer; it is found in Steinschneider MS., No. 29. It is full of Arabic words, and contains a few Romance ones also. The translator says at the end that the whole book is of no value, and that he has translated (or copied) it merely as a warning against "serving strange gods." It is probable that a copy of this translation existed in the library of Leon Mosconi (Majorca, 14th century), where it seems to occur under the title "Bel Enus"—No. 37 of the catalogue ("Rev. Et. Juives," xxxix. 256, xl. 65). It is also cited by Joseph Nasi (16th century) and perhaps by Abba Mari. According to Johanan Allemanno (died 1500), Solomon ben Nathan Orgueiri (of Aix, Provence, about 1390) translated from the Latin another work on magic by Apollonius. The Hebrew title of this second work was ("Intellectual Art"); fragments of it are found in Schönblum MS., No. 79.
Fürst, Canon des A. T. p. 99, attempted to identify Apollonius with Ben La'anah, whose, writings were condemned (Yer. Sanh. xi. 28 a).

Jackson leads South Carolina past Eastern Michigan, 74-64
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)Gregory Jackson II threw down three dunks in the first half and knocked down four 3-pointers in the second to score a career-high 24 points and help South Carolina power its way past Eastern Michigan, 74-64 on Friday night.
The game featured a pair of highly rated recruits. Jackson, originally the top-rated recruit in the Class of 2023 before reclassifying himself and committing to South Carolina for the 2022-23 season, finished with a career-high 24 points. Sophomore Emoni Bates, the No. 3 recruit from the Class of 2021 who played at Memphis as a freshman, hit 8 of 15 from 3-point range and posted a career-high 36 points to lead Eastern Michigan.
Jackson, who turned 18 years old December 17 and is the highest-rated recruit in program history, was 9 of 19 from the field and hit 4 of 9 from beyond the arc while pulling down nine rebounds.
South Carolina built a 10-point lead in the first half and held a 40-30 advantage at intermission.
Chico Carter Jr. had 15 points for the Gamecocks (7-6). Meechie Johnson added 10 points, six rebounds and three assists.
Eastern Michigan had trouble finding offense outside of Bates, who shot 13 of 25 from the field, including 8 of 15 from distance, and was the only player to reach double-figure scoring. As a team the Eagles were 25 of 63 from the field (39.7%).
Eastern Michigan opens Mid-American Conference play Tuesday when it plays host to Bowling Green.
South Carolina plays its Southeastern Conference opener Tuesday in Nashville against Vanderbilt.

In spite of all the effort of our elites, Americans are all right. How the elites hate us for that.
Years ago, when I was particularly depressed about something stupid going on in government, I had to leave the office and go pick up the kids from school.
At the time, we lived in a tiny mountain town near Colorado Springs, and it was a fine late Spring day. As I walked to the school, five blocks away, I saw people out working on their roofs, people planting their gardens, people taking their pets for walks, people driving for a volunteer organization that drives the elderly around, people going about their lawful business in every possible way.
And suddenly, like an epiphany, I realized that our "elites" including the presstitutes and the supposed intellectual heights of academia, are among some of the most corrupt in the world, but the people? The people are all right.
