South Africa
(Cape Town, Hermanus, Sabi Sands)
This is an all encompassing trip that takes in all of the highlights of southern Africa. A private guided tour of the top sights Cape Town including the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point, Simon's Town and penguins at Boulders Beach. Nestled between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean and famous for its beaches, this is a cosmopolitan city with superb cuisine and world class vineyards only an hour's drive away. You'll then experience the magic of Grootbos, spend your days at the sea watching whales or having your own private picnic. You'll fly from here to the exclusive Sabi Sand Game Reserve to enjoy the best Big Five game viewing in the country. Located on the north east corner of the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand is unarguably the most renowned game park in South Africa. Included is your flight back to Johannesburg, to connect to your international flight.
This special is only for travel before December 15, 2012
Upon arrival into South Africa you will be met at the door of the plane and escorted through Customs and Immigration avoiding any queues. You will also receive all of your necessary documents for your trip which contains a detailed personalized itinerary, maps, restaurant suggestions, top tips for exploring each city or region and a 24 hour concierge service (for restaurant reservations, spa treatments, child minders, day tours etc.)
Enjoy a private transfer between the airport and your hotel.
Today you will be met by your guide for an exploration of Cape Town, known affectionately as the Mother City. Your tour will take in the Houses of Parliament, the Castle (built between 1666 and 1679, this is South Africa's oldest building), lively Greenmarket Square with its daily market, the Company Gardens and of course Table Mountain which will give you spectacular views over the city and Peninsula (cable car fee is not included as it is weather dependent). On your descent, you stop at the Bo Kaap, home to the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses.
Table Mountain Cableway will be closed for annual maintenance on Monday 28 July 14 to Sunday 10 August 14.
Sign up for optional activities (not included in tour price); diving to see Great White sharks, whale watching, visit to Robben Island to see Mandela's prison, visit to local townships, walking tours, visit winelands, cycling, cultural tours and more.
This morning you will be met at your hotel and transferred along the R44 from Gordon's Bay to Hermanus. This is regarded as one of the top scenic drives in South Africa, hugging the coastline with amazing views of False Bay. Between June and November, whales are often sighted on this drive. The route winds through the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, which is known for its beautiful fynbos. En route to Grootbos we will visit Stony Point in Betty's Bay to view a colony with over 3500 African Penguins (the same penguins, guests would experience in Boulder's). There are incredible pathways leading past the penguin nests and you will have many photographic opportunities of these amazing creatures.
Grootbos works with Marine Dynamics located at Kleinbaai Harbour (a mere drive of about 15 minutes), which we regard as the top sharking company in South Africa. It is not only known for its extensive conservation efforts, but also for their highly qualified marine biologists and staff on board, which makes it a truly amazing experience. Transfers from Grootbos to the harbour are included so you don't have to rise early. After the boat trip you'll come back for a warm shower and a light lunch is already waiting for you.
Grootbos offers many wonderful adventurous trips that weave throughout the majestic reserve; it is the perfect place to recapture one's outdoor spirit through the panoramic and beautiful scenery. On a guided walk through the nature reserve trails, visitors are far more likely to encounter birdlife which they would not have been able to spot and discuss if they had been in a vehicle. The Grootbos hiking trails offer so much to explore above the obvious flora and fauna. Animal tracks, local insects, flower details and much more are far more easily observed on the pleasant guided walks and hikes through the Grootbos reserve.
Other activities incldue: forest walks, visit the historic Klipgat Caves, spend a day at the beach, or enjoy 4×4 reserve drives through the last of the Cape's Milkwood forests and the beautiful floral Kingdom. On another day you could choose to go horseback riding. One of the most satisfying and enriching ways of exploring Grootbos Nature Reserve is by horse back. The horses at Grootbos are ideal for beginners and experienced horse riders alike. Experienced staff look after 18 horses at the Grootbos stables, and accompany guests on rides.
The Overberg has long been known for its great wines, starting with Hamilton Russell and Bouchard Finlayson in the late 1980's. During the last seven years, the area has become known as the new vogue area for wines in South Africa. This area boasts over 70 wine estates, many of them with award winning wines. Grootbos has decided to offer a guided wine tour, visiting three wine estates, where guests have the chance to interact with the winemakers during the wine tasting, and including a visit to the true southernmost tip of Africa – Cape Agulhas, where your guests will enjoy a hearty picnic lunch. The wine route will take guests also through the small village of Elim, which is the second oldest missionary station in South Africa, with the only functional watermill in South Africa.
Grootbos boasts the last of the Cape's Milkwood Forests and the beautiful Cape Floral Kingdom. For those who wish to venture farther you can sign up for other activities as well. Whale Watching - By land, sea or plane (from June to December). Shark Cage Diving - By air, boat or cage diving. Big 5 Marine Tour - By boat, enjoy sights such as penguins, seals, dolphins, sharks, or even whales. Scenic Flights - View mountains, vineyards, shipwrecks and even sharks and whales. View the southern most part of the African land mass from this unique perspective. Speak with the hotel manager for pricing details.

The 27 superbly designed lodges and villas offer luxury and comfort. Making a point to sourcing all of his ingredients close to home, Chef Duane Lewis promises delicious, outstanding cuisine. All of the wines served at the restaurant, with the exception of sparkling wines and champagne, come from within the Overberg region. After an action packed day of eco activities, a therapeutic full body massage is a must, leaving you in a state of absolute calm at the onsite spas. Venture out and enjoy whale watching, shark cage diving, horseback riding and more! For guests wishing for something a little lower key, there are beautiful flowers scattered throughout the reserve – perfect for a relaxing walk and bird watching.
The spirit of safari comes alive at historic &Beyond Kirkman's Kamp. Step back in time into the gracious early Transvaal atmosphere of this original 1920s homestead and marvel at the spectacular views of the unspoiled landscape that surrounds the Sand River from each of the guest suites. Rolling lawns carve out a niche in a wild and tumbling wilderness that host memorable game viewing in one of the most renowned Big Five wildlife regions in the world. Spacious sitting, dining and bar areas steeped in the colonial atmosphere of gracious style and luxury contain mementoes of a time long past, while the untamed wilderness outside whispers a promise of adventures not to be forgotten. Clean lines and authentic furniture transport you to the 1920s, while sheer creature comfort is never compromised. Indulge in private time in the fascinating library or while away a few hours in front of the roaring fireplace in the guest sitting room. A sparkling swimming pool boasts a magnificent view over the valley of the Sand River.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

I've played many different basses during my 40+ career including several Fender P- and J- models as well as the Urge I model. I bought this instrument as my new "travel" instrument as I felt it had all the features I needed and was built rugged enough to take on the road. I've now traveled and used it many times for over a year and it has consistently performed perfectly. If you require a durable, professional five-string bass that delivers every time, the Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass V is an excellent choice.

I purchased the Fender American Deluxe Jazz V about 2 months ago. I have the natural ash with maple fingerboard finish. It is a beautiful pro level instrument with looks and features to suit many musical situations. The N3 pickups and on board active electronics package have a very versatile and musical range of tones, from dub/reggae to Jaco like burpy and clear mids, also good for rock, and I could see how it may work for metal, but I usually don't play the latter 2 styles. This bass really shines for slap, finger, and pick styles with a slight adjustment of the 3 band EQ. To me, the mid control is the heart of any active tone circuit, and Fender has nailed the woods/construction and mid frequency combination to accent all the right tonal frequencies. The playability of the asymmetrical neck and compound radius fingerboard allows for very low action and as a result I sound a lot better :) After spending a month with it, I have tweaked in my ideal set-up for this bass. The ash body is very resonant and combined with the neck gives the bass a beautiful uncompressed full range tone that is captured beautifully by the pickups/ preamp. I have tried the passive sound for live purposes as well, but feel that the active tones are far superior. That being said, I really appreciate the passive tone knob feature. I can't truly comment on the versatility and tone of the passive feature as I think it would shine in the studio and I haven't recorded this bass direct yet. The 4+1 tuners and high mass vintage bridge give this bass a solid feel, tuning stability and add to the great looks/playability. Unlike many, I am not a fan of the block inlays or binding, but the rest of the bass makes up for that. Overall Fender really gave me a product I am proud to own and justifies the large price tag. The battery terminals and better noise rejection are about the only things I would improve about this model.

This my first Fender Bass. I have been playing bass for years and have never owned a Fender. This bass has a beautiful look and sounds awesome. It will purr like a kitten or growl like a Tiger. The neck is fast and feels very comfortable moving up and down the fret board. I would love to own A pawnshop VI.

I was looking for a 5 string Jazz Bass for the longest time and now I've found it. This is a well built instrument with great playability and monster tone. the B string has astounding clarity and depth, the asymmetrical neck profile makes playing the neck very comfortable and the contoured heel and larger lower cutaway make upper fret access a breeze.
The electronics are very flexible and offer passive and active mode. The active mode does pick up some hum in some circumstances but it's not enough to be a problem, perhaps more effective shielding is required however this does not detract from a bass that is highly flexible and useful. a true workhorse and represents excellent value, well done Fender, this has become my go to 5 string bass.
Samatza owns this item
I can't go back to any other bass! It's incredibly flexible, very responsive and precise, and has that beautiful universal Fender tone. This is the perfect bass for any style of music, because of how adaptable it is. Not only is it a great sounding and playable instrument, it looks SO sexy, especially in the natural finish with the black pearloid block inlays! Overall, it is the absolute perfect bass for anyone who is very versatile in their playing, and has a passion in what they play.

This my third fender bass, I had a fender jazz V 24 and a Presicion Hot Rod. Now Im a custom bass player and for some reason I felt I needed something with a classical look but with a moder amd vintage sound at the same time. This bass gave all. Incredible low B and clear mids this bass can handle all. The only thing I still can not understand is why 21 frets. The rest is pure perfection.
diomar owns this item
In my opinion, Fender has finally created a five string bass that is the "whole package" with the look, the playability, and the sound that any bass player desires. I have waited patiently for many years to get a great five string for under $2000 and it has been worth the wait. Fender has done a great job with this one.
firstname.lastname@example.com owns this item
This is a great 5 string Jazz bass. I have the Natural finish model with maple fret board & black pearl block markers. This bass is just plain sexy!! This is a very versatile bass, it comes with a set of Fender N3 Noiseless pickups & it can be played in Active or Passive mode that allows you to dial in many tones.
In passive mode the Master volume, the pickup pan volume knob & the Passive tone knob work & in Active mode the Master Volume, pickup pan knob, Bass, Treble & Mid knobs work. The neck on this bass has a great feel & I really like the Hipshot tuners & string retainer on the B string.
The stock 82505M strings that come with this bass with the taper B & E strings are a nice touch & have a piano like ring to them. There's also a sculpted heel, that makes it easier to play notes in the 15 to 21 fret area.
The American Deluxe Jazz 5 also comes with a Fender SKB Flight Case with re-enforced corners & plush Back interior. This bass screams Quality & attention to Detail. Fender did their homework on the current American Deluxe line of basses.

This is my 1st 5-string Jazz Bass. My American Deluxe Jazz Bass V is "Awesome". Rigth out of the box it was ready to Go !!! I tweeked th truss rod and that was it !!! The "Fit & Finish" are excellent. The sound is great. The feel is great. The look is "Totally Sexy" !!! Since I purchased it, this has been my main bass, and will continue to be until I can afford to upgrade to a "Custom Shop" bass. The bottom line is I l"Love" this bass. I you can afford one, buy one !!!

I would like to say that I Love All of my fender basses, they have their own individual personality. But 24 fret is the greatest of all of them but their not offered anymore. In my opinion the active / passive , with the scoop switch is it guys ( period ). Fender should have this in all Fender stores but with various tops and colors and Fret board tops. With 21 fret options as well , recently i got a quote for a 24 fret custom with everything basic except the color and hardware color and it was way out of my price range for that . It had to be master built for it to be 24 fret. I love fender basses and always will but that wasn't the price that I was looking for. All of the luthiers out there making Jazz Basses are making their basses based on the Great fender basses and their too pricey. No one can match the Fender as far as I am concerned. I would love to have the job of testing fender basses against the other competition to give feedback on what to improve or change etc. And of course I get to keep the ones I test. Fender is the Cadillac of Bass and guitar, I know the market is competitive but we should always be open to changes . Yours truly 24 Fret
fivestring owns this item
Flawless until recently when the nut gave way on the B string side. The design of the nut due to the binding is the top is wider than the base of the nut sorta like extended ears to the edge. Very little material there. A respected luthier is doing a bone nut for me now the bass is 3 years old now I am not willing to send it away for weeks to fender even if the warranty was good. I love the bass. I would not hesitate to replace with same if stolen or damaged. I am a working musician.

A receiver isn't the flashiest piece of your AV system, but it's probably the most important. It serves as the backbone of that setup.
Some people spend a ton on this one component. However, we found Pioneer's VSX-1122-K 7.2-Channel Network AV Receiver listed on Newegg for just $419.99. This price is $180 off the list, and also includes free shipping right to your front door.
The VSX-1122 is one of Pioneer's 2012 models, so it has all of the features you'd want in a new receiver. It comes packing a USB/video cable, so you can connect any Apple device to the front-panel port for music and video playback. (It also works with a lot of Android devices and thumb drives as well!)
Another Apple-related perk is that this receiver features AirPlay support. That allows users to stream iTunes from any PC or Mac, as well as music from any iOS portable, right to the receiver.
Other features include 3D support, 90 watts per channel (into 8 ohms), Ethernet support, seven HDMI inputs, and three USB ports. It also has decoding for Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, and DTS Neo:6 formats.
You can find out more about this model on Newegg's product page. Just remember you'll need to add the receiver into your shopping cart to see the discount price.

Nice: Music can be soothing right before bed. A home control system can be set up to play relaxing music over the bedroom speakers softly right before bedtime … and turn it off automatically.
Naughty: Anything that plugs into an outlet can be put on a timer—let's say, your kids' TV. Limit their screen time during the holidays. They will sooooo hate you.
Nice: A movie button programmed into a remote control will make everyone's life easier. Just one press activates all the appropriate equipment.
Naughty: Your teenage daughter's boyfriend is over for a visit. Put together a playlist of your favorite "oldies" to blast through every speaker in the house.
Nice: Create a "romantic dinner" playlist for you and your spouse to enjoy when you have the house to yourself.
Naughty: Instead of having your doorbell emit a chime when pressed, have it play an inappropriate announcement—just for shock value.
Nice: Greet guests with a pathway of lights that illuminates as they walk toward your front door.
Naughty: Wake up your kids by having the lights in their bedrooms pop on automatically at a preset time. Follow up with a wake-up call over your home's speaker system.
Nice: Gently ramp up the lights over the course of a few minutes. It will give their eyes time to adjust … Nah. We like the naughty plan better.

Excellent analysis by both of you. Wholeheartedly agree. It's nice to see appreciation for this chapter and Kishi's work.
honestly, the way I see it, we shouldn't even be this ahead of the storyline, kishi is only getting paid for the books we buy at your local walmarts and such. And thee latest volume he released ends in
choji sprouting his butterfly wigs and planning to end the war.
there is so much I'm excited for in this series.

Oh, also, Sasuke saying that Itachi was perfect? That's weird...I hope those two share a bro moment soon.
Also, do you think they will kill Kabuto? Itachi DID say that he wanted to Kabuto to learn his lesson "before dying"
finally someone with some sense, i agree with you 100%, i also think there will be a bro moment, i think itachi is going to cast a genjutsu on kabuto and release edo tensei and before itachi fades he will reveal to sasuke all his answers and probably end it with an ... I love you lol
then maybe sasuke will go after tobi with the alliance then take on naruto and die... i dunno but it will be epic

If the genjutsu was started when kabuto first hit the crow clone, why did Itachi bother asking Sasuke for help when he got sliced the **** over? Also i dont like where Kishi is going with Itachis character. Itachi says he failed a lot in his past but the reader of the manga has always seen him winning everything. Plotwise i think it would be best if Kabuto defeats Itachi which will lead to Sasuke going mad and defeating him in turn. That way he may awaken the rinnegan and match up with Naruto.
Itachi says he failed because he didn't accomplish what he wanted. Everyone praised Itachi to the sky and back because he was an Uchiha prodigy. Kishimoto has comfirmed that Itachi was rarely surprised by anything and was able to come up with plans for the things that did.
All Itachi's life, he wanted to do the right things, but he only depended on himself. He just admitted to Sasuke that he did not trust anyone to help him with all the things he suffered from. (the coup e'tat, massacre alternative, disease, etc.) It was his arrogance. He would stand up to his clansmen, when Sasuke came around, Itachi would beg for forgiveness. (Cowardice) When dealing with massacre, there may have been a way to prevent it, but he didn't even search for an alternative. He only made a choice between what his clan wanted versus what Danzo wanted, not forging his own path. (Cowardice) When dealing with Sasuke, Itachi didn't trust that Sasuke would become strong enough without his older brother's interference. (Arrogance)
During his battle with Naruto and Bee, Itachi gained a dose of Naruto. Itachi realized that he had to acknowledge his true self and accept it before he can help others. This is what he is trying to do for Kabuto. Itachi doesn't want another person (Sasuke) to make the same mistakes he did. I believe that through Kabuto, Itachi wants Sasuke to learn this same lesson.
Even though Itachi can pwn people on the battle field, he doesn't have the same awesomeness when it comes to other aspects of life.

Second comes Madara.When he was summoned to the battlefield it was Mu who summoned him.He didn't say "Edo Tensei" ,but "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!".Edo Tensei is a type of Kuchiyose so it is possible that the performer of the Edo Tensei was Mu.Now if it was Mu what would happen when Edo Tensei ends?Mu will disappear.But he won't "die" he is actually dead.Will that be the way to keep Madara on the table or will that bring the end of all Edo Tensei? Or did Mu only bring the coffin to the battlefield and it was Kabuto who performed the Edo Tensei.If so did Kabuto do something about Madara's Edo Tensei,along with giving him Hashirama's DNA that would make it impossible to end the jutsu even by the caster? Or will Madara on his own be able to somehow break free from the justu? He IS one mighty shinobi.He has a huge amount of chakra,EMS,Rinnegan and alot of knowledge and understanding of jutsu.
Lets hear some predictions.
Not a fanboy.No flaming please.
I've been thinking the same thing. I have been having a sneaking suspicion that Kishimoto might pull a DBZ and truly bring back characters from the dead.
However, I had a feeling that Sasuke would awaken the Rinnegan (since Naruto has his new form) and use it to revive Itachi. I'm not sure how plausible that is since Nagato lost his life when he brought back all the ninja after his fight. Nagato had a little chakra left, so maybe that's why he died? (Any thoughts??)
I have a feeling that Madara will still be around. Naruto and Sasuke may tag team against him or something. Who knows? :shrug:

I give it a 3
Glad Izanami was explained but overall pretty boring chapter
S/N: I'm I the only one who misses Naruto?
How the hell can all you guys be *****ing about how the entire chapter was about explaining izanami, when what izanami does was like what everyone was looking forward to for this chapter. Sure the plot didn't progress much, but i wasnt expecting it to
I thought this was a great chapter. I think its necessary that Izanami was explained to its entirety, and it also obliterated all of the talk of it being unbeatable.
I also think it was nesissary for izanami and izanagi to be explained. Also, I found it rather significant that Itachi admits to not being perfect. I completly agree with GaaraXSakura4eva's post regarding that.
Itachi sure is smart, that's why he's one of my favorite Naruto characters. But what the heck, Kishi had a mistake for the headbands. I can't give it 5 stars because of that.
Originally Posted by -Vegeta-
No, it was specifically stated by Tobi that izanagi requires senju and uchiha dna.
Like I said another contradiction on Kishi's long list of them.
How can we call anything a contradiction in an ongoing story especially when we can't read Kishimoto-sensei's mind?
Until the last chapter and final databooks have been released, as well as any interviews by the mangaka have been done, even if there are or have been contradictions he will be able to right those and change them since the work is on going. Making them as though if they are there, they never were.

Itachi's explaining of Izanami in such great detail leads me to believe it may be used by Sasuke in the future...I mean, why else explain down to such minute details? I figure that now, Sasuke will know exactly how to use it for future use.
Overall, I liked the chapter; the concept of Izanami is great!
Just my thoughts. =]
tobi always tells half truths don't know why you trust what he said
Hello everyone this is my first post but I've been reading everyones post for a while. What I wanted to comment on is about people saying Tobi said u have to have both senju and uchiha DNA to use izunagi (not arguing that fact) but correct me if I'm wrong but uchiha and senju r nothing but distant relatives. They came from the sons of the sage of the six paths. So they would have the DNA

Although his destiny is rather to become like himself
i think it's obvious kabuto's gonna meet up with his friend from the orphanage
Your always right because you rock :D
5/5 chapter :D
I think Kabuto will not die but will be defeated by Sasuke,and Kabuto will then walk...and walk outside the cave and encounter Urushi,But if Kabuto will die,I think it will happen on chapter 590 :scorps:
I did appreciate the clearer explanation given by Itachi, as well as the foreshadowing to a possible change in Kabuto's way of thinking. I was kinda surprised to see the other orphan boy, too. Possible reunion, anyone?
it's normal chapter but thank's for it
good kabuto is good now and is going to stop the edo tensei and i think in some way maybe madara will resist and stay in the world
Originally Posted by chakrawizard555

That would be a nice idea. But then, will Urushi see Kabuto in his current form (with reptile-like skin and that huge snake portruding from where his belly button is supposed to be) or will something happen that will transform him back to a regular human being? When he finally accepts himself as he really is, not needing anyone else's power (which, if I remember it right, was the point that Itachi was trying to drive home to him), will he go through another snakeskin-shedding and come out his normal self again?
hey guys, I am new to the forum but have been reading the manga for a long time and viewing all the posts as a guest, but I figured I would join in and bring something to the front:
If edo tensei was stopped, I think that it would just make possible to kill the ones brought back without having to seal them, and also Kabuto would loose control over them, I don't think that if it was stopped that they would all just disappear off the battle field.
Don't burn me too bad first post, but thoughts on this is more than welcome.

Post subject: Federal Republic of Aurora custom CL and FF (POL) decals
In case anyone is interested in doing up the old Terran hulls (
) from the Starline 2500 series to match their counterparts in the Federal Republic of Aurora (the
and FF [http://www.starfleetgames.com/documents/Omega/FRA_Frigate_(Revised)1.pdf]), I was able to commission a set of "FRA custom" decal sheets from the guys at
Tenneshington Decals
; modified from the originals in order to represent the ships of the Auroran Navy.
The Auroran decals aren't too different from their Star Fleet (and Federation Police) originals. The engine banners are blue instead of red; the Star Fleet arrowhead on each is replaced by an Auroran star; the ship names are listed as "R.S.S.", for (Federal) Republic Star Ship, instead of "U.S.S."; the "NCC-" registry is replaced with the class designation, and includes a "leading zero" on numbers lower than 10 (a custom which Star Fleet does not use); and each decal includes a miniature FRA flag (of the kind shown
) to use on the hull.
(The specific ships I have on order are the light cruiser
CL-05 RSS Andoria
, the frigate
FF-08 RSS Bremen
, and the frigate escort
FFE-01 RSS Hessen
; all ships which were part of the Auroran fleet that fought the first key battle for control of the Aurora system in Y149. There isn't much of an official ship name-plus-registry list around just yet, however; so while the ship names are "real", don't take those registry numbers as gospel just yet.)
While the guys have the new custom banners on file, they won't be adding them to the
individual sheet
section of their web site. While they can be ordered, they will essentially be "off the menu" items only; so you'll have to specifically ask for them to be added to your order.
So, if anyone is looking to kit their Terran hulls out for use in the Omega Octant, now's your chance!
(For some reason, the link to the FF file won't work properly; though it does seem to work on the Mongoose board. Hmm.)

My own FRA decals arrived in the post yesterday! Hopefully, once the actual minis they are intended to go on (which are on order at the moment) arrive, I won't mess things up when it comes to actually applying them.
(If things turn out well enough, I may try to post pics of the minis with the decals applied to them.)
One thing to note for anyone considering a set for themselves; as it stands, the "white" on the FRA flags that come on the sheet is, in fact, "clear"; the current print setup for the decals doesn't allow for them to be given a white background. While that may change if Tenneshington get a new printer, for now Tony has suggested that one should simply paint the portion of the hull where the flag is set to go white; so that, even if the rest of the hull is a different colour, the overall effect will be the same.

The ideal solution is to purchase a printer that is capable of underprinting in white. ALPS made several models that were very good at this (and even licensed the tech to Citizen who made two or three models). Unfortunately, production of all of these models has been discontinued.
We are currently searching for a working MD5500 (and as soon as one comes up, we will purchase it).
The only other option is a 4-color process printer as is used by most major publishers and those run into the 10's of thousands of dollars. I don't think we'll sell enough decals to justify that expense.
unless we can convince Scoutdad to buy decals for all his miniatures... wait, nevr mind. =He'd just want a bulk discount.

(Most of) this set arrived in the post today!
Alongside the large-print (10-point, as opposed to the standard 9-point) edition of
Captain's Log #45
, there are Starline 2500 versions of the Fed New Fast Cruiser, Light Cruiser, and Police Cutters (which come 2 to a pack); the Orion Raider Cruiser; and the Romulan FastHawk.
The NCF and FFH are intended to stay in the Alpha Octant; the other four minis will (eventually) be set up to serve in the Federal Republic of Aurora over in the Omega Octant.
Also, in the envelope above the magazine, there are sets of decals from
Tenneshington Decals
for the Fed minis.
The NCF's decals are for Star Fleet; though the hull registry is actually for the
NCC-1382 Simon Bolivar
, a ship that had served as a (new) fast light cruiser instead. If Mongoose ever do a proper NLF mini, I can use the decals for that ship; otherwise, if I don't make an attempt to convert the NCF into an NLF myself, I may simply consider this ship to be what the
might have looked like had it been upgraded to an NCF during its service life.
For the others, the custom FRA decals noted above will allow them to serve as the CL
, the FF
and the FFE
. All three ships served in a key battle in Y149, that helped establish the Republic's independence from encroachment by the silicate Trobrin Empire. (Once again, the FRA custom decals are considered to be "off the menu" items; if you want to order them, you have to ask for them specifically when making your order.)
I can't guarantee how long it might take to actually get some paint on these minis, though; let alone apply those decals. But, I'll try not to leave it too long before I do...

Well, first I would have to actually figure one out for it!
I was imagining that the ship would have been given a series of different paint schemes during the course of its service life. So, perhaps one era saw it done up as a "regular" Naval ship, with the kind of emblems seen on other Auroran starships; or, instead, that it was given no Auroran markings at all, in order to make it look as "independent" as it could be. (Although, I don't think anyone would have been fooled by the time word had started to spread about the
's, and Republic's, existence.)
One good thing about the decal sheet is that it has plenty of spare FRA flags; so I'm sure at least one could end up on the
's hull if it was worth adding one to it...

Faux Weave Scarf or Vest
By: Brenda Duncan for Sulky
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Easier than pin weaving, this technique from Sulky of America uses water-soluble stabilizer to layer ribbons, cord and strips of fabric. Materials listed below will make the scarf pictured. Sew up this scarf in around 3 hours for a great gift.
Step one: Prepare Heat-Away or Ultra Solvy
To make a scarf the size of our sample (17-1/2" x 43-1/2 " flat), from the one-yard package of either Heat-Away or Ultra Solvy, cut two 8" x 22" pieces. To make this into a circular scarf, overlap two 8" edges about 1/4" and straight stitch them together at both short ends with Sulky Polyester Invisible Thread in the needle and bobbin. Or, just cut a 44" length from either 8" stabilizer roll and join as suggested above.
Step Two: Apply the Flat Braid or Wide Yarn
Starting at one of the overlapping seams and 1/4" in from the long edge, straight stitch down a flat decorative braid or cord ledgthwise all the way around the edge of the Heat-Away until you get back to the starting point. Angle the braid 90 degrees and stitch down another long row. Don't worry about twists in the braid or uneven rows. They will add texture and interest to the finished scarf. Simply overlap the cut ends and continue sewing.
Proceed in this manner until you get to 1/4" from the other outer long edge. The number of rows you will have completed will vary, depending on the type of braid and the width of the Heat-Away used.
Note: If you plan to have more than 12 rows (like sample) you will need more that 30 yds. of flat yarn or braid.
Turn the Heat-Away 90 degrees, and continue adding the same braid in the smae manner crossing previously stitched lengthwise braid. Angle the braid 90 degrees at the end of each row, stitch about 3/4", then turn another 90 degrees, and stitch another row back across the Heat-Away. Proceed in this manner until you get to 1/4" from the point of beginning.
Step Three: Apply the Faux-Weaver Yarn
Once rows of flat braid have been put all over the Heat-Away lengthwise and widthwise, change to a Sulky Decorative Thread in the needle and bobbin and add rows of straight stitching in between the rows of braid. You can make some of your own combinations of yarn/Sulky Sliver Thread by twisting them together using the SPINSTER™ Twisting Tool. You may also want to add other, thinner, decorative yarns as well. To attach these yarns, use a zig-zag stitch that is no wider than whatever you are attaching. If it is a lot wider, when the Heat-Away is removed, the thread will be loose.
Note: If you are going to add a thick yarn or braid, put it on last since it will be difficult to stitch back over it.
Step Four: Remove the Heat-Away or Ultra Solvy following package directions.
Try exanding this idea, perhaps by making your own fabric this way, then using it to make either a vest, an insert for a teddy, a collar or a lapel; or place it under a suit jacket or as an overly where net or another sheer may have been the suggested fabric.
Alternate Method Using Solvy or Super Solvy Water Soluble Stabilizers
Instead of using Heat-Away as a foundation, the Solvy method is recommended when using yards that have a low tolerance to heat. You can use the lighter weight Sulky Solvy products instead of the heavier Ultra Solvy, although they will not be as stable as the Ultra Solvy, they will work when pressed together.
