A -- No
B -- Depends on speed of target:
Drone may or may not (ship moving 24 or less, would have to HET if capable of hitting)
Plasma, HET and hit --

Post subject:
The exact answer to this would depend on a couple of things, I'll try and explain this point by point:
A) Does it hit immediately?:
A seeking weapon will not hit the target immediately it is launched in the same hex, as it would have to enter the hex of its target while in flight (i.e. move into the target's hex or have the target move into its hex after it has been launched).
B) Does it hit next sub-pulse?
It could do, yes. The next sub-pulse will be sub-pulse 1 of an impulse. On this sub-pulse, only things moving at speed 24+1 will move. So, if the target is at this speed, he moves once before any drones would move, and would then move again on the second sub-pulse, whereupon the drone would also move. Note that in this case the target is ahead of the drone and will stay there if he keeps going straight away from the drone at speed 24 or 24+1.
If the target is moving at less than 24+1, neither the target or the drone will move on the first sub-pulse. If the target is moving at speed 24, speed 16+1, speed 16 or speed 8+1, it will move on the second sub-pulse, and will be one hex from the drone. At this point, the drone could (and must if it means it would score a hit by doing so) make a high energy turn (4F3e) and then move into the target's hes, scoring a hit.
If the target is moving at speed 8, it will not move on sub-pulse 2 but the drone will. At this point, the drone will hit the target either by moving straight ahead, or by making a high energy turn if this is necessary (it cannot sideslip as it has not yet fulfilled its sideslip mode, not that this matters here).
However, if the seeking weapon is a plasma torpedo, it would simply be able to make a HET on the first sub-pulse of the impulse after lanch (because it moves at speed 32) immediately after the target has moved, thus hitting on the first sub-pulse.
C) Will the seekign weapon overshoot?
If the seeking weapon launched is a suicide shuttle, it is possible that it will overshoot as it must move forwards on its first move because it will not yet have fulfilled its turn or sideslip modes (both 1) and cannot make high energy turns (4F3e). So, unless moving straight ahead would place it in the same hex as the target, it would not hit with its first move. After this, it could turn or sideslip to try and hit the target.
Does that help you? Also correct me if I myself have messed up the rules somewhere.

Post subject:
Drones do not hit their target until after their movement occurs in a sub-pulse.
The only way a drone will miss if fired in the same hex as it's target is if the target is moving at 24+1.
On sub-pulse 1, the target moves, it is now at range 1. On sub-pulse 2, the target and drone move. However, the target moves first. The target is now 2 hexes away from the drone.
Since the drone cannot hit the target by immediately performing a HET (4F3e), it must move forward 1 hex, as stated in 2C3b. It is now 2-3 hexes away from it's target (depending how the target moved on its 2 moves) and will probably never be able to turn around and catch the target.

Zack Whittaker
Jason Perlow
Best Argument: No
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
The terms will change
Zack Whittaker: Post-PC world. Pah, I say. I'm not a sore loser, honestly. The post-PC world clearly is among us and Microsoft's break into the Windows tablet market will only solidify this era.
There's a side to this Mr. Perlow likely hasn't considered. Forget numbers. Forget layoffs. PCs aren't dead yet, and even if they are, the term is so entrenched in every-day life, we cannot afford to kill it off completely.
Forget whether PC makers will survive in a "post PC world". The terms will change. When Apple rolled out a "4G-capable" iPad, it was met with extreme criticism after it was found it would not connect to a 4G LTE network outside North America. Apple promptly went to court to try and change the name of "3G" to "4G" in a bid to comply.
This is likely what'll happen with the PC market. There won't be -- ergo, PC makers will survive in a "post-PC world". Because the gap between PCs and tablets will converge so far the two will be synonymous.
The hard truth
Jason Perlow: Just over eight months ago, Zack and I were were both standing here on our virtual podiums debating whether "Post-PC" was actually real or if it was bunk. In the end, while Zack put up a good fight that the PC would never die, the arguments favored that the Post-PC world was upon us.
Eight months later, two giant PC manufacturers are in dire straits -- Hewlett-Packard recently announced laying off over 27,000 employees and Dell's Q1 2012 earnings have been weak across the board in their Consumer, Public Sector and Enterprise divisions.
Apple, on the other hand, is doing magnificently, with their products accounting for over 22.5 percent of mobile PC shipments globally in the first quarter of 2012, 80 percent of that being their own Post-PC iPad tablet, with 17 million mobile PC units shipped, according to NPD Displaysearch.
The hard truth is facing us -- traditional PC purchases are slowing down dramatically. Unless you are cultivating a strong business in tablet computers and smartphones as well (such as Lenovo) it's going to be a very uncomfortable ride in the next few years for the PC manufacturers.

The U.S. aerospace and defense industry is facing some of its greatest challenges in decades. While weathering numerous trials during 2013, our industry produced relatively flat results compared with 2012. An overall slight decrease in sales is forecast, reaching $220.1 billion for 2013 – down from $222 billion last year – with only civil aircraft sales showing growth.

Dupré: Organ Music
2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)CDD22059
Movement 1: Le monde dans l'attente du Sauveur
Movement 2: Nativité
Movement 3: Crucifixion
Movement 4: Résurrection
The first movement, 'Le monde dans l'attente du Sauveur', presents Iesu redemptor omnium as a quiet second subject in contrast to the agitated pulsing of the opening main theme, over which the plainsong ultimately triumphs. 'Nativité' seems to describe first the crib and then the Wise Men's approach, before finally presenting Adeste fideles against a gentle background. The ostinato rhythms and cruel, jagged harmonies of 'Crucifixion' resolve into a simple, quiet treatment of Stabat mater dolorosa, while 'Résurrection' is a vast crescendo based entirely on the Eucharistic hymn Adoro te devote.

This drive was installed by Apple as a result of the HD replacement program for late 2009 iMac's, no charge for installation, I just had to stare at a blank desk for a week
Best Uses
Great drive. Paid to have installed. Compatible with late 2009 iMac 27".
Best Uses
I purchased LaCie 6TB Thunderbolt drive but I returned because the drive makes horrible cricking kind of noise. Them I purchased 3TB drive for my iMac Mid 2011. Same here that it keeps making cracking sound all day and night long after a few minutes interval. This is normal to all Seagate drive which drives me crazy. It must be there severe engineering flaw which they are not at situation to recall. I bought western digital green drives and I'm happy. I never gonna buy seagate drive unless they correct the noise factor. Seems like the drive cries for some reason.
The site listed this drive as being compatible with a mac mini. Obvious when it arrived that it's way too big. Oh well, now I need an enclosure.
Hi southernx,
Thanks for contacting us today. We would be happy to help you find a new upgrade for your system. What is the processor speed of your iMac? Thanks for this information.
Best regards,
Hi nikonitis,
Thank you for contacting us today. Installing the SSD is also fairly straightforward. You can either clone your current data to the SSD or do a fresh install. You will need to find a special bracket to ensure that the SSD fits into your Mac properly.
There is a big advantage to upgrading to an SSD, because you will have no moving parts and you will notice a huge speed increase. The extra speed should future proof your system a bit.
Please let me know if you have any other specific questions about this upgrade.
Hi alphan,
I am sorry for the issues that you have experienced with your drive. At this point I would recommend contacting us directly so that we can help you with any trouble shooting and any questions you may have. Our contact information is in my signature. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Hi ckelsey,
I am sorry for the issues that you have experienced trying to contact us. We respond to emails within 24 hours, so I am not sure why you did not receive a response. Please pm me your email address and I would be happy to check into this further.
Have you experienced any issues with the SSDs besides this error? This article can help clarify some of the most common misconceptions about SMART data. If you aren't experiencing any issues other than that message I would not worry about it. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
I have a DELL Studio XPS 16 (1645 with intel core i7 cpu), with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preinstalled and updated to Service Pack 1, and
I recently upgraded my Western Digital HDD to a larger Solid State Crucial M500 480GB drive, (using
the crucial easy laptop install kit).
The laptop boots with the SSD drive now being the only drive installed.
I cloned the HDD, using the automatic procedure in Acronis TrueImage HD using a boot CD, however, the Windows Update in the newly
installed SSD does not function and gives the message "windows update cannot currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I previously tried all other combinations in cloning the HDD to SSD with Acronis TrueImage HD, to no avail.
The computer was checked for viruses and malware prior to the cloning procedure with Bitdefender Antivirus 2013 and is virus free.
Also, internet explorer is not downloading files from hyperlinks. It will display the option for save as, open, save but will
proceed and open the download dialog box when left-mouse-clicking on hyperlinks of files which I choose to download and will not
display the image format jpg when I right-mouse-click on an image link and choose save image as but display the options for png and
bmp only. I installed the Chrome browser which worked, the problem with internet explorer persists.
I give you a link to my windowsupdate.log file,
I consider the windows update malfunction to a be serious problem, thank you in advance for any assistance.

Easy Holiday Gifts to Make
The holidays are the busiest time out of the year, and you're probably short on time when it comes to buying gifts. It can be frustrating spending hours in line at the store trying to buy that perfect gift for every special person in your life. Don't waste your valuable time at the stores when you could be spending it with friends and family. So break out your crafting supplies, settle down next to the fire with a cup of cocoa and get started on these easy holiday gifts to make.

You can use inexpensive snowballs and your favorite essential oil to create snowballs for the bath. These clever snowballs make the ultimate homemade Christmas gift.
When things get crazy around Christmas and you feel like you're running around the stores like a madman, don't add buying gifts to your list of things to do. Spend time at home relaxing with a glue gun in one hand and paint in the other, making some easy Christmas decorations.

It seems like Fearne Cotton has been pregnant for ages, but the Radio 1 DJ finally gave birth to her first child with partner Jesse Wood early this morning. Fearne tweeted "Jesse and I are over the moon to announce the arrival of Rex Rayne Wood born on the 21.2.13 ♥♥ beyond in love." Rex Rayne Wood sounds like the name of a rock star in the making, which is apt considering the wee nipper's grandfather is Rolling Stones hell raiser Ronnie Wood.
As well as an ear for music we wonder if Rex will share his mummy's eye for fashion. When it comes to looking casually cool, we always turn to trusty Fearne Cotton for a bit of accesible style advice. Her daily ensembles in and out of the Radio 1 offices provide inspiration – and she's even managed the mean feat of dressing her pregnancy bump with panache! We caught up with the ever-chipper presenter to chat about choosing Brit model Tali Lennox to front her latest Very.co.uk collection, not competing with her pal and fellow designer Holly Willoughby, and her top tips for pulling off maternity fashion…
Grazia Daily: How have you found adapting your wardrobe to your pregnancy?
Fearne Cotton: I've found it interesting dressing a pregnant body. I opted for leggings and baggy jumpers with vans or flat knee high boots in the day and for evening wear I've managed to squeeze in to a couple of my VERY dresses just in a couple of sizes up. I also love maternity stretch pencil skirts. I've got them in a few colours and have worn them a lot with loose fitting t shirts and tops. I've not felt like wearing tight clothes as it feels restricting. It's all about comfort at this point. Now I'm about to drop I'm even more restricted clothing wise but I love a challenge. I'm finding new ways to accessorise leggings and jumpers every day! Lots of necklaces, hats and Vans with brightly coloured socks.
Grazia Daily: Is there anything you can't wait to wear again?
Fearne Cotton: NICE UNDERWEAR!!! As soon as I can fit back in to normal undies I'm going to splash out and treat myself to some really nice ones. I shall then burn my maternity bra in a sacrificial ceremony! Also my skinny jeans; I'm in no rush to squeeze back in to them but I've missed them big time.
Grazia Daily: Why did you choose Tali Lennox to model in the campaign for your latest Very.co.uk collection?
Fearne Cotton: I'm so glad Tali's modelling my new collection. I really wanted her to cover me whilst on maternity leave as she has such a fun spirit and attitude that embodies what I want my clothes to represent. She is gorgeous and always individual in her style too. I'm so happy with how the shoots went! I popped down to one of them to watch her in action and it was seamless.
Grazia Daily: Do you and Holly Willoughby ever get competitive over your collections for Very.co.uk?
Fearne Cotton: This has never occurred to me. I love looking at her collections once finished but we both work in a very different way and have different outlooks on what we want for our ranges. We both love clothes and getting glammed up but our style is very different. It's perfect for Very.co.uk as there'll always be girls who lean more towards Holly's fashion preferences and vice versa.
Grazia Daily: What have you learnt about fashion from doing this fashion line?
Fearne Cotton: I wanted to go bold on prints this collection and also mix prints up. Being brave is where it's at with fashion but sometimes you worry people might think you've gone too far with it or will be scared by prints and colours. I think all the prints I've chosen and found work so well together and complement each other in a unique way. I learn with every collection. This time round being a different body shape made me look at the cut of things from a different angle. I'm so happy with how this collection has turned out and I think it's my favourite yet!
Grazia Daily: What is your favourite piece and how would you wear it?
Fearne Cotton: I love the floral drop hem dress. I featured this in my S/S'13 catwalk show during fashion week and knew it would be a stand out piece then. It's such a gorgeous floral print that I'll definitely be wearing on holiday this year. I'd wear it with some sky high Terry de Havilland wedges for a night out or in the day some cute strappy flats.
Grazia Daily: Would you ever design a maternity range?
Fearne Cotton: I thought about it this time around but to be honest I've not worn much maternity wear at all. I would almost tell woman to go out and buy clothes they love in a bigger size rather than waste money on clothes they can't wear again after pregnancy. I've been wearing a lot of smock dresses and baggy jumpers which I love anyway. I don't think woman should feel they have to change their style too much when they get pregnant. I think if anything I'd love to design a kids clothing range one day! I have so many cute mini ideas!
Grazia Daily: What's the most awful thing you've ever worn?
Fearne Cotton: I've worn so many terrible things! Back in the day when I was doing kids TV, myself and Reggie [Yates] were subjected to a wardrobe of brightly coloured jeans, unflattering tight jumpers and self-inflicted buffalo Spice Girl-esque boots as the cherry on the cake! Terrible times. I think I truly found out what suited me and felt comfortable being a woman from the age of 24.
Grazia Daily: Is there one item in your wardrobe you keep rebuying or can't get enough of?
Fearne Cotton: I have so many pairs of black boots but always want more… I love them all equally and dearly and they all have a purpose and go with everything.

I just realized that it has been quite some time since I had an actual food post. I guess I have been busy, though perhaps that is a silly excuse. I have definitely been making plenty of tasty meals and treats, but not taking too many pictures. What follows are photos I did manage to take of some of my favorite meals from the past week.
I recently purchased Skinny Bitch in the Kitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. I love the writing style of these two women…they make me laugh, a lot! Flipping through the pages, I came across a simple and appealing recipe (which also happened to be delicious!) - Steamed Veggies and Tofu with Brown Rice.
Over this past weekend, I made a dinner consisting of produce in my fridge that was creeping up on expiration. I don't have a name for this meal, but here is what it consisted of: whole grain couscous with red chard, marinated portobellos, a dollop of basil pesto, and slivered almonds. Yes, I know that sounds like a weird combination, but it was really good! It was also quick to prepare (minus the marinating) and filling. I don't usually enjoy eating the same meal two nights in a row, but this meal was an exception (so was the previous meal pictured above…maybe I am becoming more tolerant of leftovers?!).
And now some dessert! It reached about 95 degrees in Portland on Saturday…too hot for me! I was outside for awhile and then retreated indoors to make a cooling treat: Banana-Berry Sorbet. I put a cup of frozen raspberries and two chopped frozen bananas into my food processor and blended them until smooth. I then added enough Strawberry-Banana VitaSoy to make a nice consistency. I transferred this mixture to a freezer-safe container and let it firm up for about an hour. All I can say is, this really cooled me off and made me happy! I liked that it wasn't super sweet, but refreshing instead! Plus, it was incredibly simple to make.
Oh! I almost forgot! The buns! My boyfriend made his second batch of Celine's awesome buns. These turned out beautifully. They were a might bit monstrous (meaning really BIG), but that is because Tim has some unexplainable relationship with yeast. He talks to it, and that helps create the craziest dough I have ever seen (in about 30 minutes or less!!! It's true!). The buns are an integral component of a birthday meal I am making for my good friend. I am planning on taking pictures of the food tomorrow night, so there may be a future post with all the goodness. I'll say goodnight with a picture of some fine buns:

Maternity leave
Who qualifies: the birth mother of a child
Brief description: 52 weeks leave for all employees. Most will qualify for statutory maternity pay of 90% of full pay for 6 weeks and then a flat rate (which increases every year) for 33 weeks.
Who qualifies: one of the two adoptive parents, who may both be the same sex.
Brief description: 52 weeks leave provided s/he has been employed for 26 weeks at the qualification date. Most will qualify for statutory adoption pay for 39 weeks at a flat rate (which increases every year).
Who qualifies: Fathers (biological and adoptive) and husbands; civil partners; partners of either sex who live with the mother in an enduring family relationship
Brief description: Two weeks leave at a flat rate of pay for partners who have been employed for 26 weeks at the qualification date.
In many cases, this will give parents the option to share responsibility of caring for their child when they adopt or become parents on or after 3rd April 2011. Previously, only one parent would be classed as the primary carer and would take either maternity or adoption leave. From the 3rd April 2011, this parent can choose to return to work and the second parent would be able to pick up leave entitlement and statutory pay through additional paternity leave.
Who qualifies: Fathers (biological and adoptive) and husbands; civil partners; partners of either sex who live with the mother in an enduring family relationship.
Brief description: A maximum of 26 weeks, if your partner has returned to work. The leave can be taken between 20 weeks and one year after your child is born or placed for adoption. To qualify for leave, you must have been with your employer for at least 26 weeks' at the qualification date. Most will qualify for statutory additional paternity pay which will be paid during the period of your partner's Maternity Allowance, Statutory Maternity or Statutory Adoption Pay period.
Who qualifies: The birth or adoptive parents of a child; anyone who has or expects the have "parental responsibility" for the child; "commissioning" parents in a surrogacy arrangement can take parental leave when the birth certificate has been amended to show them as the parents following a parental order.
Brief description: 13 weeks' unpaid leave for employees with a year's service to look after a child under 5 (or under 18 if disabled).
Time off for dependants
Who qualifies: A dependant is a spouse or civil partner, a child or parent or someone who lives in the same house as the employee; or someone who "reasonably relies" on the employee if they fall ill even if they do not live with them
Brief description: Unpaid reasonable time off
The right to request flexible working
Who qualifies: Carers for children if they are the mother, father, adopter, guardian or their spouse, civil partner or partner (i.e. living as if married or a civil partner).
Carers for adults are employees who are married to, partner or civil partner or who live at the same address as the adult in need of care.
Brief description: The right for employees with 26 weeks' service to ask to work flexibly, e.g. part time; working from home etc. Mothers who are refused may have a claim for indirect sex discrimination.
For more detailed information on flexible working see:
and www.direct.gov.uk
From April 2015 couples who become legal parents through surrogacy will have the same rights to maternity and additional parental leave. Stonewall has long advocated for employers to extend these rights as part of their parenting policy. For those who haven't they will need to start preparing now.
Currently, paternity leave is only applicable to the legal parents of a child or those who are in a relationship with the birth mother. Maternity leave is only applicable to birth mothers.
In a surrogacy arrangement this will mean that you will only be able to obtain statutory paternity leave if you are considered a legal parent. If you're not then neither you nor your partner will be automatically able to obtain the statutory two weeks paternity leave. As you are not adopting the child, as intended parents you will be unable to apply for adoption leave.
You may wish to approach your employer to discuss your leave options. Some offer flexible leave policies which enable anyone who is considered the primary caregiver for a child the option to take a set amount of leave.
Child benefit
A surrogate parent can claim CB if s/he is responsible for a child i.e. the child lives with you, or you contribute to the costs of its upbringing.
Child tax credit can be claimed if you have 'main responsibility' for a child - again this has an ordinary meaning, and if the child normally lives with you then you can claim (with some exceptions, eg the child is 'looked after' by the LA, or the LA fund the child's care eg you are a foster carer.)
Low income parents
If you meet the other conditions, you can get a Sure Start Maternity Grant (even if one has already been given to the birth mother).
During parental leave the normal rules would apply. Income Support might be payable if the person was on benefits immediately before parental leave. As well as meeting the specific conditions for parental leave, you would also need not to have a partner who works 24 hours or more a week, not have savings of more than £16,000 etc.
As for Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, again you are treated as responsible for a child, and the child can be included in the calculation, if the child 'normally lives' with you. If you get child benefit, you are treated as having responsibility.

As some of you may have found out or read about, Apple trailer downloads for Linux are currently broken. Apple has implemented a Quicktime user agent check prior to downloading. Personally I agree with the decision because Apple is concerned about the quality of reproduction (though Apple trailers still play with an odd hue on Windows – think this has to do with Quicktime not correctly reading Window's color setting – but I'm getting off topic). This means that movie players plugins for web browsers (like gecko-mediaplayer and totem) will no longer work. Until gstreamer gets a patch that fix's this, here's a script that can download them manually. To use the script, right-click on the download link and copy it to the clipboard then append it after the atget script.
You can comment wget line and uncomment the mplayer line to directly play the trailer. The mplayer line needs to have a cache to be sure the video is downloaded before it start or errors will occur (200MB should be enough for just about and video on the site).

Very good shoes!!! Thank you!
William English
Fits great and looks great.
Maillé Olivier
Good quality and very cool style =D
Lajos KLIMENT
Extremely comfortable, looks great!
Awesome shoe! Its comfy and stylish. The one thing that I wasn't sure about was the padding by the back heel. I dont know if that was suppose to keep your foot more snug in the shoe or just make it for comfortable. It didnt keep my heel from slipping out from time to time. Maybe if the leather went all the way up on the back and kept the padding there it would have been more stable and would keep my heel in 100%. Also, does Etnies not give you extra laces any more??!! Well these are just little nit picky things I have to say but I want Etnies to take everything into consideration and be the best skate shoe company out there!
Perfect fit! I took a chance with ordering my 1st pair of Etnies size 45, since I ussually wear 44.5. Comfy shoe, good materials, looks great. I hope they last forever.
Benjamin MAYOT
Great shoe !!! Definetly meant for skating and really stylish. One bad point would be the laces that are fragile
Not just a simple skate shoe!!!
First time I wore them I got a blister on my heel. But after a little bit of time, these shoes became one of the best shoes i have ever worn. They are a dream to skate in. Even better than the Janoski's and the wes kremer dc's that were my favorite shoe to wear. They are also surprisingly durable.
I would highly recommend these. Best skate shoe I've had so far.

text: I've been told that the performance issues with the Olympus PEN series (autofocus/shutterlag) is mainly down to the kit lens, so I wondered if anyone has tried a different M 4/3rds lens, like the panasonic range, and if they've experienced a noticeable improvement? Is there any websites that address this? (if you could provide a link that would be great).

police slang for Be On the Lookout
We put out a BOLO for suspicious characters.
by The Frugie January 19, 2005
A ferocious style of attack utilizing a flurry of unskilled, awkward punches/strikes, with the intention of rapidly knocking out an opponent.
"Man, dem fools was swingin' dem bolo's!"
by MindMaster8 October 24, 2009
A punch used in Olympic boxing and sometimes MMA. The power of this attack comes from the shorting arch of the attack not hip or shoulder torc. Most fighters consider this a brawlers move not a refined fighters attack.

Andrew Mollenbeck,
HERNDON, Va. - A family-owned auto shop in Fairfax County has an unusual way of helping people who are looking for a job or struggling to make ends meet.
"Our way to give back to the community was to perform free small repairs on vehicles where people can't get to work or need to get to an interview," says W.D. Wiygul of Wiygul Automotive Clinic.
The sign posted outside the Reston location reads: "Free small repairs so you can make that interview!"
Wiygul says there are no specifics as to the "small repairs." Mechanics have fixed tires, headlights and, occasionally, more expensive damage.
"The other day we helped a family get back on the road by performing a brake job," he says.
The offer stands at all four locations in Northern Virginia. Two are in Alexandria. Reston and Herdon have one each.
"We've had single mothers with four children come out," Wiygul says.
"She couldn't get to work and couldn't get her kids to daycare."
The auto shop helped her with two tires.
The offer is something the business has offered on and off since it began in 1976, but just recently the free small repairs sign went back up.
Of those he's helped Wiygul says, "the most gratifying response that we get is seeing the smile on their face when they're leaving the office."
"We're not out there to get recognition or anything like that," he says.
"We're just out there trying to help people get back on their feet."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
not bad at all. really enjoyed this chapter 4/5. i hope we see sasuke and oro soon.

When Tsunade dies, which is pretty sure, at least Kakashi and Gai have to survive. And it is unthinkable for me that Naruto dies.
Totally agree on this one. It's sad enough (for me) that Tsunade is on the verge of death. I don't need a death Kakashi on top of that..

Too young?! O_o
Lock at Gaara, he became Kazekage at age of 15. . . . . . . . . now Naruto is 16. :y

There's no point in mixing KB mode with sage mode... He already has infinite chakra, super speed, super strength, and "super senses". He can even spam more RS than he ever could in sage mode. What do you think would improve?
Sage mode was simply a necessary step to control the kyuubi but he doesn't need it anymore.

too immature thats what i meant naruto is still young in the mind
amazing chapter!!!!!!
nice chapter I like how naruto is like a speed demon it's sick; hopefully we a little bit of oro and sasuke next time though, now we know kakashi can kamui himself now

That's another thing, and yes, I kind of agree on that with you. :y

Sage mode was simply a necessary step to control the kyuubi but he doesn't need it anymore.
If he has super-sense, why did he made a clone, that was in Sage Mode, to find the rods on the Bijus, while he was in Biju Mode?! O_o
Amazing f**king amazing
i didn't wanted to make a different thread about this , so i'll ask it here
what happen to the 10 tails , i completely forgot about it , didn't obito revive him ?
Masashi is wasting our precious time, we are reading the same thing since last 3 mangas, nothing new shows up and its all about kakashi being guilty.... Come on Move it already, yea yea we know Kakashi is shocked and stuffs, can't you just start the main part already? Am surprised how he is just trying to continue the manga longer...
Naruto .... the nly good thing this manga has ...
Kakashi us my man he wont die as easly
I was expecting more like naruto get a powerup but anyway 5/5
I have got a feeling when kakashi was talking to obito..obito was confussed and was about to change his heart madara sensed it thats why he interfered in there duel...I cant come up with a better logic than this one...
In chapter 600 he was barely able to stand up...he was leaning on guy..how come all of a sudden he got so much chakra...he used Doton Doorukei & Kamui (that too to teleport himself back that he never did it before)...
Chapter was great no doubt about it but there are lots of lope holes in plot if u start reading manga one after anther...
To predict the next chapter: Well (IMO), I think Obito will die (maybe even in 610, but not without some half-dead people around him) and give Kakashi his other eye and therefor the opportunity to defeat Madara (not Kakashi alone, but you know what I mean). In the end, before passing out, Obito will be good (again?) through some Talk no Jutsu from both Naruto and Kakashi where we also get to know why Kakashi had to kill Rin.
We will see Gai die even though I don't want him to. He will show some more ass-kicking moves before leaving. But sadly someone out of those people standing on the battlefield now (Gai, Kakashi, Bee and Naruto) has to die and I really don't want it to be Kakashi and we all know Naruto definitely won't die. If Kakashi dies now he will end like his father and I don't think that's how Kishi want him to go. At least I really really hope so! Naruto is about good winning against evil and new generations surpassing older ones.
For the end of the next chapter I think we will see some Sasuke and Orochimaru, like on the very last panel.
damn obito is really out for kakashi's ass and gai hasn't siezed to amaze me.. Bee and naruto please l expected more from you... 4
When i read chapter again...I have got a feeling that it was NOT that Kakashi managed to survive it was more towards....Obito didnt go for KILL didnt aim for his vital spots....he hasnt turned into hardcore villian yet...some were deep in his heart he is still loves cares about kakashi,hidden leaf village,etc...
See the expressions of OBITO...
Towards the end when Naruto reminded Kakashi what he taught him with Obito's old words, reminded me of Jiriaya a little just as he was about to die. Hmmm I hope this isn't the end of Kakashi!
Awesome chapter, that was a loooong ass 2 weeks wait lol!
Kakashi can escape from his/Obito dimension. I loved seeing some taijutsu from Obito. Really wish Kakashi would reveal why he had to kill Rin already.
Gai OWNED Susano'o with that tiger!!!
Madara was a troll
Bee is still useless lol
All in all though, great chapter
Loved the build up at first and how Kakashi was going the Asuma route, fighting hard but slowly being killed off, but then Naruto arrived and spoiled it.
OAN it'd be funny to see a genjutsu where Kakashi puts up an image of Rin telling Obito to stop.
Originally Posted by whitemanlies

I think he'll feel like he's to blame for all this and eventually show us his true power (which I believe hasn't been seen yet).
kakashi said he let rin die and not i killed her which suggest that he didnt kill her

Hi all
About to purchase my first DSLR, initially to expand on my photography hobby that's reached its limit with compact & iPhones, but with a distant eye on something more professional in the future. I wouldn't say I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to photography, both in terms of artistic/composition elements and technical elements of the craft, obviously still a lot to learn. Also, keen on having high quality HD video recording. (Sorry for the waffle, thought this background detail might help direct the advice of you fine people on the actual question that's to follow!)
Basically, I'm in two minds about a. buying a cheaper body to spend more on additional/better lenses, or b. go for the latest body and work with the kit lens for a long time until I can save for additional/better lenses. As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm essentially choosing between two levels within Canon's entry-level models ('Entry' entry-level and 'Mid-Range' entry-level, if you will!)...
'Entry' entry-level
Canon EOS 100D - latest model, close to 700D in price and spec
Canon EOS 1100D - super cheap, tech too old? Lacking in some specs?
'Mid-range' entry-level
Canon EOS 700D - latest model
Canon EOS 650D - discontinued, nearly identical to 700D but available for less
Canon EOS 600D - cheaper still, tech too old?
The above is the (very) basic summary of my research thus far, obviously not quite so black and white but hopefully illustrates my thinking! Would really appreciate the advice from guys in the know on this and which model you think would be best for my needs, apologies if this is covering some old ground!
Thank you in advance.

You may know Paul Teutul Sr. as the gruff father and hard-driving boss on the TLC's "American Chopper" reality series, which chronicles the interior workings of Teutul's family-run custom-motorcycle company, Orange County Choppers. But what happens to the hulking, confrontational biker when he comes home after a hard day in the shop? Let's just say that a whole-house music system helps soothe his soul.
Teutul's new post-and-beam-style home features other technologies, too, from satellite radio to security cameras to make him feel at ease. "I was building a new home and wanted a modern look and feel," says Teutul, who is far more comfortable with motorcycles than he is with electronics.
"He came to me to do the security, and I asked about whole-house audio," says installer Anthony McGregor of AJM Security in Washingtonville, NY. So a whole-house audio system was installed to deliver sounds to the family room, bedroom, bath and office of the main house, as well as the pool area and a cabana outside. "He's not too much into the new technologies, but he likes to come home, sit down on the couch and turn on the tube. All the other stuff was a plus."
McGregor set out to tailor a comprehensive home electronics system with the care that Orange County Choppers attends to its customized bikes. At the heart of the system is a NetStreams DigiLinx whole-house digital audio system that sends signals from a central location to the bedroom, bath and office via high-speed Category 5e networking cable. This Internet Protocol (IP) audio system precludes the need to wire a house with miles of speaker wire, though speaker wire is used in the final phase of getting the audio signals to the speakers. The signals are delivered via Category 5e cabling to NetStreams' SpeakerLinx consoles in each room, amplified there and delivered via speaker cabling to the in-wall and in-ceiling Polk speakers. Two more SpeakerLinx deliver sound to outside Niles speakers on the porch around the house.
The Polk speakers in the family room flank a 55-inch Fujitsu plasma screen, and there are two speakers set into the back wall. Teutul can call up his favorite '60s rock classics via the NetStreams' in-wall controllers, which are tied to a Polk XM Satellite receiver and ReQuest hard drive media server. The ReQuest media server can be called up via the NetStreams system, or independently in the family room system. There's also a VideoReQuest system that works with a DVD changer to provide a video library with on-screen operation.
In the backyard, tunes emanate from Niles rock speakers around the pool or from the Niles in-ceiling speakers in the bar, which also has its own Fujitsu plasma screen, Polk XM satellite tuner, and Integra receiver and DVD player.
Operating everything, including a surveillance system, wireless Lutron RadioRA lighting control system, and HAI security system, is MPlus control, which can be operated via a wireless PC tablet. There's also a universal remote for the audio/video system.
So is Paul Teutul Sr. as hard to work for in his home as he is on TV? Not really, says McGregor. "I am happy about my investment in these systems," Teutul says. "They are great investments, and they allow me to have hours of enjoyment."

There are speculations that Antonio Cesaro and John Cena coudl be working a feud together in the near future, as the two stars were spotted working out together at the WWE Performance Center. Cesaro received a slight push from management this week by being added to the main event at Elimination Chamber 2014.
As many already know, Yoshi Tatsu is no longer on the road, and he has not been utilized regularly at live events in quite some time. He has been doing some training down at the WWE Performance Center, and he's now also training developmental wrestlers as well.
While he has not been seen on television in quite some time, Yoshi Tatsu is still with WWE. The Japanese wrestler has been training with the company at the performance center. Tatsu has been working closely with Dusty Rhodes on improving himself as a character.
Former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and Texas legend Terry Funk was recently brought in to work as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center.
While visiting the performance center, DDP taught his unique brand of yoga to the various developmental wrestlers under contract with WWE.
Aside from working as a trainer, Nick Dinsmore is also making appearances for NXT as well. At a live event in Tampa this week, the former WWE star showed up in the ring to save Santa Claus and his diva helpers from an attack by Aiden English.
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.
Japanese star Kenta Kobayashi, the wrestler who made the Go 2 Sleep finisher internationally famous, could be signed to a developmental deal with WWE soon. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center, where he was given a tryout by officials.
"There are quite a few trainers and classes. There are a lot of vultures flying around there who will take the move if they like it so I was careful. I just worked with the great trainers. At the performance center, there is a man there who is just great. Norman Smiley, he is a surgeon in the ring. It was incredible. I would love to say I could do The Big Wiggle so I am going to yeah, I can do the wiggle."
"I saw that he had the work ethic to make it work. A lot of times it's just a matter of getting that opportunity. It's funny that the example of what he is and what Daniel Bryan is, goes against the grain of what the WWE is trying to do. It seems very rare that they take guys off the indies anymore. You know they've got the Performance Center and they want their wrestlers to start from there at the bottom. It's almost like they're trying to grow wrestlers in a petri dish and then you look at guys like Punk, Bryan and Antonio Cesaro who worked all over the world on the independent scene and it seems like they're doing well for themselves and making it in the WWE system despite not being brought up in the WWE system."
Triple H and Bill DeMott extended an invitation to Diamond Dallas Page to visit the performance center, and the former WCW champion has decided to take them up on that offer.
Kane visited the WWE performance center for the very first time.
Christina Vargas spent less than a month training at the WWE Performance Center before quitting the company, and the developmental diva has now explained that the biggest reason why she asked for her release was because she felt unwanted there.

Since news has surfaced that Ken Shamrock is now working as a security guard, many are starting to question his net worth. Some sources are stating that the former UFC champion is worth approximately $1.5 million, but many believe that it is much lower than that.
While it has been years since his heyday as a professional wrestler and actor, sources are stating that Roddy Piper still has a net worth of $4 million right now. The belief is that he made quite a bit of money during his time with WCW and has invested well.
WWE received some criticism from the fans last night because they did not put more of an emphasis on their tribute to Mae Young, whose death last week saddened the wrestling world. More feathers will be ruffled, as management has opted to remove the video completely from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw.
"Once again, HONORED to be included in the Mae Young tribute video tonight on Monday Night Raw. So much respect for her and proud to be in same ring."
- Bully Ray
While WWE has been paying tribute to Mae Young, who died earlier in the week, at live events by showing a special video, Natalya Neidhart has decided to take it one step further, by dedicating her victories over AJ Lee at the live events to the hall of fame performer.
"Very embarrassed that Oklahoma media have ignored Mae Young's passing. It's appalling. Someone do their homework. Pro wrestling bias?"
Now that the legendary performer has passed away, people will be given one final chance to say goodbye to Mae Young. Visitation is being held this upcoming Tuesday at the Dunbar Funeral Home in Columbia, South Carolina, and the funeral itself is being held the following day at the same location.
"Rest in peace, Mae Young. You're truly an inspiration to us all. It was an honor to have met you. You will be missed."
"When I ran into the duo at shows, Moolah would always remember me from our catering convos, and in the middle of talking Mae Young would go, 'Now which one are you again?' in that shaky voice to which Moolah would say, 'Oh Mae Hush Up' to which we would all share a laugh."
"I'm just grateful for the moments I got to spend with her. Both Moolah and Mae were an important part of my life in WWE, especially in my first couple years in the company as they were my biggest cheerleaders. They were always encouraging me and telling me they liked how I didn't 'wrestle like a girl'. She was an inspiration to me and so many of the girls in the locker room. I used to tell her 'Mae, I want to be just like you when I grow up'. I'm going to miss her a lot."
"From the moment she first stepped through the ropes, Young established herself as one of the most active and successful female Superstars – including becoming the first U.S. Women's Champion, carrying out one of the most storied rivalries of the time with the legendary Mildred Burke in 1954 and being among the first female competitors to tour post-war Japan. The entire WWE Universe offers a standing ovation to a true queen of the canvas and bids Mae Young a heartfelt farewell."
Zack Ryder took to Twitter to post a quick message about the death of Mae Young, and the longtime WWE star also included a picture of himself with the hall of fame diva.
"A trailblazer & role model...paving the way for women in this division. You will always be remembered! Rest in peace, Mae Young."
It has now been confirmed that Mae Young has passed away, as Stephanie McMahon herself has posted a message on Twitter to inform everyone. There had been quite a bit of confusion all week long, as fans were quick to make assumptions about her death.
"Damn. What a life and what a career. Never forgotten and touched every generation. Rest in peace, Mae Young."
"My condolences go out to the family and friends of Mae Young. She was the toughest person I have ever been in the ring with. She was definitely what we call a class act Thank you for making the Dudley Boyz who we are today without you that would have been No Dudley Boyz you will be missed but never forgotten we love you Mae. May u rest in peace"
- Devon on the death of Mae Young
While wrestling fans all over have posted their condolence messages all over social media, it has now been confirmed that Mae Young is still alive. She is gravely ill and is off life support, but the WWE Hall of Fame inductee is not dead.
Things have taken a turn for the worse for Mae Young, as the WWE Hall of Fame inductee has now been taken off of life support. She has been in hospice care for approximately a week after spending some time in the hospital.
As of right now, Mae Young, a legendary performer most associated with WWE, is under hospice care, where one of her kidneys is in the process of shutting down. She is also breathing with the assistance of an oxygen machine at the moment.
Some good news has been revealed about Mae Young and her condition. The legendary WWE star is now at home and is able to speak again. Her condition is still quite serious, however, and Mae is still under the care of hospice for the time being.

Before the start of this season's Burberry show Christopher Bailey transported his audience to a scene of London by night, with a skyline silhouette of the capital complete with migrating birds and billowing flags at the head of the catwalk. As the first model stepped out on the runway, blinds along each side of the vast venue were slowly lowered to let in the blazing natural light. This was a perfect ploy to capture that summertime mood, zapping us into the mind-zone of the holiday season.
So how shall we be dressing come Spring 2013? Well if Christopher Bailey's got anything to do with it, you'll definitely be working a cape. In a multitude of colours – our favourites were in jewel tones of magenta and ruby – and shapes – full cape, cropped cape, capelet and even a bomber jacket/cape combo – there was a crusader look for every occasion.
Also new on the menu were Christobel Balenciaga inspired cocoon coats with leg o'mutton sleeves and Watteau backs, foiled prints seen across shirts and skirts and punched leather trenches fashioned to ressemble crochet. Also worth noting were the super cool coloured PVC mini Doctor's bags and silver wedges - some of the best accessories we've seen from Burberry for several seasons.
Elsewhere, the use of the colour was particularly bold – we saw ombre effects with turquoise fading to azure and fuchsia seguing into scarlet in outerwear, while emerald green also featured strongly. There was also an iridescent story to close the collection which featured kingfisher plumage and peacock feather shades of blue and green. Making the strongest statement was the finale sequence in which the full line-up of models were clad in metallic signature raincaots in a colour spectrum from teal to pistachio. If there's one thing you can say about Christopher Bailey it's that he's a man who knows how to put on a show!
