by Ken Nail Breaking the size barrier with an 8" display Barriers are meant to be broken. And while you may not run a 4-minute mile or go faster than the speed of sound, you can break the size barrier in your dash with Alpine's INE-Z928HD navigation receiver. Conventional car stereos have topped out with 7" screens because of limitations in the size of the openings in car dashboards. But this Alpine receiver features an impressive 8" touchscreen that makes everything look bolder and brighter, especially your GPS maps. That's 30% more screen area than you get from a 7" screen, and an amazing 90% more area than with a 5.8" display. How does it fit? Alpine has developed a line of Perfect Fit packages, each designed to accommodate the INE-Z928HD in a specific vehicle. Each package contains a dash adapter which replaces a section of your dash, housing the Alpine receiver. Better yet, the package contains wiring adapters that plug directly into the factory electronics and wiring, even if you have a premium sound system, and you won't have to wire up cumbersome adapters to keep steering wheel audio controls, OnStar, and other factory features. Once you've identified your vehicle, we'll show you if there's a Perfect Fit package available. The Alpine receiver looks great with its Perfect Fit package in the F-150's dash. A powerful navigation tool The powerful nav system looks awesome on the 8" screen. You can split the screen to keep your maps running on one side, while album art and song info from a music source shows on the other. On the highway, the INE-Z928HD lets you know what lane you should be in for the upcoming exit ramp or highway split. And it can flash upcoming services like gas stations and restaurants on the split-screen display too. 3D views that look great on the big screen The INE-Z928HD also puts its big screen to good use with a realistic 3D map feature that depicts buildings and terrain. In unfamiliar surroundings, you'll see landmarks on your screen to reassure you that you're on the correct path. That's great for your peace of mind when you're struggling with heavy traffic. Bluetooth® that does more than just answer the phone The INE-Z928's built-in Bluetooth enables hands-free calling and audio streaming, as you'd expect. But Alpine goes a step further with their "Favorites" button. It's your place to stash the features you like to access on a regular basis. For example, you could put in your two favorite radio stations, a search for the closest gas station, your subwoofer controls...anything you want instant access to. And here's the best thing: your particular favorites are tied to your Bluetooth profile, so when you get in the car with your phone, the INE-Z928HD brings up your favorites. It can also remember the favorites of one additional Bluetooth user, which is great for cars that get shared often. HD Radio™, Pandora® Internet radio, and more Alpine packs this receiver with a full suite of entertainment options. HD Radio reception: You'll enjoy crystal-clear sound quality from participating AM and FM stations, including FM that sounds almost as good as a CD. Plus, you'll see station and song info on the screen. iPhone® and iPod® control: Browsing for your favorite songs is quick and easy, thanks to an intuitive touchscreen interface and the huge display. You can check out song title, artist info, and album art with a quick glance at the big screen. Pandora® Internet radio: Pandora lovers will love touchscreen control over their stations, including thumbs up and down, bookmarks, and station lists. Just plug your iPhone® into the USB port or use Bluetooth audio with your Android™ or Blackberry device. Alpine's audio engineers have loaded special Sound Parameters Settings into this receiver for all the vehicles covered by Perfect Fit packages. You pick the one that matches your vehicle to get sound that's custom-EQ'd and time-corrected for your vehicle's acoustics. Tailored sound, no tweaking required.

INE-Z928hD Written By JoeD, Maryland on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was very pleased with the unit. It did everything that I bought it for. Works well with my Driod4 phone and my IPod classic. The navigation takes a little get use to but gets me where need to go. The radio and CD are a big improvement over the OEM radio, I still need to update the speakers. The backup camera is clear and setup was easy. I used CCD camera and the quality is great. The perfect kit makes the head unit look like it was always there. Strongly recommend it. Pros: Looks good, performs well easy to setup. Cons: Perfect Fit instructions were incomplete and the photos were terrible. Crutchfield's tech support provided great photos that cleared up all issues pertaining to the wiring. A little slow on boot up but Something that you get use to.
Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By Matt, Maryland on Wednesday, February 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have now had the unit for 3 weeks and have liked it. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and the big screen is a huge bonus. The GPS has performed well and I was able to update the maps to a 2014 edition for free which was a great bonus. Coming from trying new Pioneer and Kenwood units I tend to like the basic functions of this unit and not all the "add ons" of newer models. I mainly use SirusXM radio but Bluetooth and Iphone music works well. I do wish the SirusXM would show/display the Album art as it looks like the square is there for it, but it just stays blank. The interface for the unit is well laid out but it would be nice if you could change the background/colors, etc. Install was easy with the perfect fit kit. Pros: Beautiful big screen. Easy to use Cons: No album art for SirusXM, Bluetooth audio doesn't automatically connect with Iphone
Huge screen Written By Paul, San Diego on Sunday, January 04, 2015 Amazing sound quality. Hugeeeee screen and ability to view video files, granted I had to convert them to a pal dvd friendly format for it to play off my usb stick. I have not yet been able to play any lossless files in all formats they advertise thru the usb stick. Display is amazing and transforms the interior of my car. Only downside is that it takes a while upon system startup before it can give you access to the full usb drive drive - but I've been running tests using different usb sticks, and have found certain brands load almost instantly whereas some brands are slow to load, and don't load at all sometimes and require an unplugging before recognized by the HU. For the price it is a great upgrade for those looking for navi. Navi is really smart and makes driving easy. my previous car had an audison bitten and this alpine deck comes close / if not better in natural sound production Pros: Beautiful display, clean interface, smart gps software, natural sound quality and lots of sound customization Cons: A little slow - and I wish there were physical next and previous buttons (addressed by their new model but at almost 2x the price) . Wish the touchpad was more touch responsive - I feel like I'm using a glorified garmin
Excellent product Written By Richard, Sewanee, TN on Wednesday, November 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just the ticket for replacing a bad VW Navigation unit. Looks and sounds great, Install is a bit tricky as you not only have to make a connection to the hand brake,, you also have to make a connection to the foot brake to get the setup program to activate. Pros: Great sound, great looking interface. factory look Cons: Overly cautious method to enter setup, probably mandated by the government to keep you from fussing with the unit while driving.
Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By Willie, Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This thing is a beast. I wanted to upgrade to something with built in navigation, and at this price you can't beat this unit. I would say it has brought my system to life. I have another car that I will also be putting one of these into. VERY VERY HAPPY Some people have had problems but mine has been perfect. Alpine seems like they will take good care of you in the case you need help. Pros: Exactly what I wanted and needed it to be. Cons: Because of the size many people who have the skill to do the install themselves may have to have a custom shop do the mounting into the dash. I have an 01Boxster and I did the install with ease. On my Cayenne I will need to have the pros do it.
Alpine INE-z928HD GMC Sierra crew cab Written By Lonny, Clearwater FL on Friday, July 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This head unit made my system come to life. Highley adjustable and customizable. Very clear sound. Some say that it is slow, just remember this thing is like a P.C. they dont always load fast. It's only slow at startup. Pros: Highley adjustable audio control , assume HD Radio Cons: Installation instructions are not very forthright with the information. And neither are the set up and adjustment instructions,Thank god for the Internet.
Good. But a little slow. Written By Mr. Hifi, Point Roberts, WA on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The first unit purchased had a FEB 2014 manufacture date and when I powered up my system for the first time, I found out all the front panel buttons did not respond. Crutchfield was great! They sent a new one to me within a few days and I put the old receiver back into the shipping box and sent it back to HQ. No fuss. This second unit has a manufacture date of March 2012 (booo!) but at least it worked. I find the menus easy to use, icons are well represented and the ability to tune little things like source volume were really helpful - I think Alpine pretty much thought of everything you can think of when building this unit. There's no bells and whistles or fancy graphics with Alpine but you do get AWESOME sound quality and a huge 8 inch screen. The navigation works OK - no issues yet. After having this unit installed for a week now, my only complaint that it is a little slow to respond when you use the touch screen. Not any slower than the OEM touchscreen but it would be nice to have instant response to touch from your fingerprints. I have just done the time alignment option with the head unit and left the crossovers flat, the parametric equalizer and bass options flat. It already sounds phenomenal. In the end, I gave this 4 stars because the first unit was defective and the unit is a tad bit slow to respond. Other than that, I would buy it again. Using this with a PDX-V9 amp, JL C3-650's and a JL 8' microsub. Couldn't be happier with the sound. Pros: Sound quality, tuneability and tweakability of head unit Cons: QA leaves much to be desired, slow response touch screen
Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By Anonymous, California on Monday, June 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding head-unit. Fit and finish is excellent. Pros: Perfect fit in 2006 Ford super duty. Cons: Parking brake and foot brake connections
Very Nice Unit Written By Wes, Danville on Sunday, February 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice navigation wish it would connect more then one phone at once but I would defiantly buy this again great sound quality and features. Pros: Alpine quality love all the features it offers Cons: Price but for quality what do you expect
Waste of money. Don't buy Written By Hendrick, Huntington, NY on Thursday, December 26, 2013 This unit is a disappointment. The map is very old and cannot be updated. The eq on this thing is frustrating to adjust. The sound is OK not great I've heard better, I owned a pioneer. This is a very expensive unit that's worthless. The only good thing about it is the screen size other than that it doesn't worth your dime. I can't wait for the summer to take this thing out of my car and replace it with a good navi. Pros: Screen size only, nothing else. Cons: Map is old and there's no update. The sound is not great. The graphic equalizer is a joke so hard to tune. It's a big let down. Don't buy it, you'll be disapointed.
Good, but no Great! Written By springbankbadboy, Lorton, Va on Thursday, September 19, 2013 The only thing this head unit has going for it is the size. Otherwise its a 910 with an 8 inch screen. Sure the pandora is more updated with album covers but Alpine is 2 years behind on that. Kenwood has been doing it for the past 3 years. Everything is standard Alpine. Dont get me wrong, Alpine quality is second to none, but lets add some more features. My beef starts and ends with the sound. Before, I had all the speakers running through the units internal amp. When I decided to amplify and ad new speakers, then came the engine noise. JL amplifier, Stinger twisted RCAs and Wire from Kable Konceptz. Did the elimination process and bam, noise from headunit with two grounds. Called Alpine and they are aware of a hissing issue but not willing to recall. I now have a $$ snake a low volume. Keep it on 10+ and you wont hear it. Pros: 8" Cons: HISSING
Alpine INE z928 HD has 3 year old maps! Written By Ed, Nashville TN on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Bought and installed it but noticed that maps were out of date. Called navteq and Alpine customer support where they admitted that the maps were several years old and that there was NO UPDATE for the maps!!!!! I took the unit out because it is useless for navigation!!!! Very happy with kenwood unit with 2013 maps! Pros: Large screen, good quality audio Cons: Cannot update maps! Unit is useless!!!
plesantly pleased Written By Steve Q., Orlando FL. on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am plesantly surprised over the quality of picture and how much tuneability there is with this head unit. The nav system exeeded my exspectations. And of course the sound is Alpine, it is really hard to be disappointed with the sound of an Alpine head unit. I did not change from factory speakers but I was very inpressed with the sound improvement even with stock speekers. I have had other head units for many different viehicle but this unit has to be the best ever. Pros: This head unit is very easy to learn to control and if you read the manual you will really like some of the cool features in there. Cons: I installed this unit in a chevy truck, drawback is there are no instalation kits for this.( HINT_ HINT!! ) There also is not a prebuilt wire harness either. If you just talk with the techs at crutchfield they will guide you to everything you will need and you will be happy with your choice.

I would advise anyone to purchase this you will not regret it
great sound + the 8 inch is a + Written By mariom, joliet il on Monday, March 25, 2013 this stereo is awsome i had it intall on my 2013 ford sxplorer yes it does fit but you have to make some big modifications to your dash but it is will worth it. Pros: the navagetion system, calls wild you are driving has free calls is must. Cons: none.
This Unit Rocks! Written By David, Fort Worth, TX on Friday, February 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Yes, this thing is expensive; but what a receiver it is! It has a beautiful picture on that 8" screen, and does so many things well. The Bluetooth works well with my iPhone, and I can listen to all of my music and podcasts in all their glory. Hands-free calling works well, too. The backup camera that I installed comes on when the shifter is in reverse, and that was my initial interest in this unit. The navigation part of this is outstanding; the best I've ever had. I've also done two software updates to the unit from Alpine's website, although it did take a few attempts to figure out just how to do it. In short, I'm very satisfied with this receiver. Pros: Big screen, Bluetooth capabilities, navigation, sound set-up Cons: Price, radio reception
Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By Anonymous, Rockwall, Texas on Sunday, February 17, 2013 I had high hopes for this unit. Orderd and put it in, then problems started to occur. Someone already stated they had USB issues and I can completely vouch for that. This unit replaced another bug name head unit that can read and play files from USB drive that the alpine can not seem to do. Apparently the firmware for alpine it wayyyyyyyyy behind. Firmware has some key issues and unit is up to date. Unit has locked up with reverse camera on while driving down the road. all I get is constant USB drive errors no matter what drive I plug into it. This units need major firmware updates to be able to compete with other units. If it wasn't for an 8 inch screen I do not think many people would keep this unit. Pros: Large screen Cons: To many to name. Firmware issues. USB firmware issues. Slow response Nav off. Alpine tech support is horrific at best. I have called 4 times and I have really felt as if I bothered them and got one word responses
Outstanding Written By jt, Park Ridge, IL on Saturday, February 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this unit after a failed install of a Kenwood Excelon DNX 9990HD with the Maestro RR idatalink in a 2013 Ford Mustang. I could not be happier. This is one awesome package. The sound quality over the factory OEM radio, and even the Kenwood, is amazing. The only thing that drove me crazy is you have to wire up the foot brake as well as the parking brake to access the setup menus. The navigation unit is exceptional and very intuitive. In fact the radio operating system is very intuitive and you do not have to spend hours reading the manual to start using it. Signal quality of the navigation unit with the antenna inside the vehicle under the plastic dash has been good. I did have to mount the Sirius Tuner antenna on the outside rear. trunk lid to get an acceptable signal. The screen on this head unit is BIG, and easily seen under all circumstances. I also like the fact that the head unit allows you to adjust the tilt of the screen with a wide range of adjustment, so if you have to mount the unit low (like in a Mustang) you can still get a great view. When you power down the unit the sreen will retract, but when you turn it on again it will remember the tilt setting and automatically return to it. No problems with my Droid Bionic and the radio Bluetooth either. I was also able to use an Ipod Touch 5 on the USB and got audio w/o mini Pros: Best screen on any head unit I have ever seen. Tilt adjustment allows very easy viewing. Very intuitive to operate. Outstanding audio quality. Ipod Lightning on USB works both control and audio (don't need the mini-jack for the audio). Bluetooth good with Droid Bionic. Cons: Costs a lot, but you get what you pay for, and this unit is worth every penny.
Wheres the Blu Ray! Written By HiKid, Hilo, HI on Sunday, January 27, 2013 Great deck however it is 2013 how about a Blu Ray player Alpine! Also no option to view your reverse camera like earlier models. I like to view my trailer while driving. Pros: Screen size features sound quality. Cons: No Blu Ray not able to view camera while driving.
Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By TMcDowell, Washington, DC on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only had this product for about 3 weeks but have been very satisfied with the display and the radio. Very nice display, sharp resolution, more features than expected such asspeed limit notification as well as notification on the diplay. Pros: As I said before, only had this about 3 weeks but so far so good. Cons: If I had a con about this product, it would be the map guidnce. The pointer appears to be off a little, by that I mean if I'm at an intersection, the pointer shows that I'm either in the middle of the street or at the next corner. Hopefully the system will recognize this and do a self correction or an update will be put out.
Outstanding head unit Written By Scott, 21054 on Sunday, December 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding head unit, huge display easy to use. With the 8" screen this unit is not recommended for the 2013 Toyota Tundra but with a little modification and a crowbar you can make it fit Pros: Great big display, easy to use. Cons: Needs to have a adapter made for the Tundra.
Love my Alpine INE-Z928HD Written By Charlie, Franklin, TN on Thursday, November 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is incredible. Easy to set-up and easy to use. Sound quality is excellent in my 2012 Yukon XL with the factory installed Bose speakers. I love the big screen. Pros: Sound quality. 8" screen. Easy to set-up & use. Cons: Cannot adjust the sound other than volume except when in park. My backup camera culd not be connected.
Overall very good Written By Shuff, Midwest on Sunday, October 07, 2012 Overall a very nice unit and easy to use. Display is sharp and large and fairly intuitive. Unlike one of the earlier posts "cons" , the OEM backup camera can be linked in to the display and can even be fine tuned to show different view types, with or without lines and cones. The navigation is pretty good, but near my home is always wants to take me around to the far side entrance to our subdivision instead of the easier way, so I know it may not always be taking the fastest route. Sound and bluetooth are great, but it sometimes loses the bluetooth connection. Overall a very good unit, but once you figure in the unti price and the easy fit installation kit, the price comes very close to that of a factory-installed OEM navigation unit. Pros: Great visually Great sound Can tie-in your backup camera to the display Good bluetooth function Cons: Doesn't always take the fastest route Ocassionally looses bluetooth connection Price is close to factory-installed unit
Good Unit - Better if VSS worked Written By MarkT, Chicago, Il on Sunday, September 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love the 8" unit in the dash. Sound quality is excellent. I particularly like the bluetooth audio functions allowing me to stream from either my iPhone 5 or Android phone. The name of the song also streams to the radio. Very nifty. I mounted my GPS antenna under the dash, near the front window. It picks up the signal within about 30 seconds after start up. I tried to improve this time by connecting the VSS to no avail (see cons). Pros: Sound Quality 8" Screen Enhanced Bluetooth capabilities Cons: I tried to connect the VSS for improved navigation sensitivity. First, unlike many other models, there is no setting in the menus to verify it's connected properly. I verified my connection with a mulitmeter, however the VSS was not registering. There is a speed pulse mode 1 or mode 2 setting under the route menu, however the manuals do not mention them. After speaking with Alpine direct, they informed me mode 1 was for a digital signal, mode 2 is analog. Regardless, either mode did not work
Alpine is back!! Written By ScottA, St. Louis on Friday, September 28, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Theirs a new head of the class. I've had many different head units in my cars, from the old kenwood kvt-915 to the pioneer Avic-110bt. So when it was time to upgrade the radio in my 2004 CTS the first unit I chose was the new pioneer Avic Z140bh. Out the box I had problems. The traffic tuner was bad and in order to stream pandora I had to purchase a optional cable. I had that one removed and had a kenwood 9990hd installed.... This was even worse. Bluetooth wouldn't work, HD radio wouldn't work and the list just kept growing. While they were trouble shoot it i saw the alpine INE-928. This unit is beautiful large screen, great color and as others have said great sound. I went with it and haven't regretted it. Be warned though, being a 8" unit the install is going to be a all day thing unless you are lucky enough to get a true fit install kit. Once it was in its been golden since then, Bluetooth ...perfect. Their isn't a need for a cable to stream pandora...huge plus and money saver. Navigation is great, I live in the St. Louis area so when you are in the city buildings are rendered in 3d and the view points are great. Save yourself some time and money and just take the plunge, this unit is worth every penny Pros: ---large beautiful 8" screen --- user friendly U.I. --- great navigation ---best HD tuner ---great sounds Cons: ????
INE-Z928HD AWESOME HEAD UNIT!! Written By Joe B., Chicago, IL on Thursday, August 23, 2012 Ive had many head units and indash units in many cars before, let alone installed several... this one however, was the easiest, fastest and cleanest install ive ever done. Simple plug and play and the factory controls work flawlessly. Amazing sound features especially the MEDIA EXPANDER -- great tool and way to boost the subwoofers in any trunk. I have yet to find anything i do not like about it, have had it for almost two weeks. AUTO dim on the navigation which is cool. another cool geek feature is how the navigation dims and shows a sunset and moon as if its night time or daytime.. kinda cool, no other head unit did that IMO. Navigation voices are TRUE and REAL compared to other kenwood and sony head units sounded too computer generated. Bluetooth works flawlessly and is pretty neat, no cords required with working on an iPhone!! Pros: -sound (HD) -media expander -navigation does not interrupt music while playing -AUTO play with my bluetooth iphone when i turn it on (i like this feature) -tilt screen -bluetooth -microphone is sleek and works and sounds great -display is very nice and clean -fast moving and response when going through screens, options, fm, aux, cd, etc. --- soooo many pros and NO cons as of now. Cons: wish there was a way to connec the OEM back up camera to this unit. but other than that - amazing.
INE-Z928HD Written By Kevin, Jamesville, NY on Saturday, August 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) WOW!!! That is was my first impression of this unit. Coming from all Kenwood units over the years (2-8120's, 9140,9960, and the newest 9990) This new Alpine (so far anyway) is SUPERIOR to any of those models. The newest Kenwood 9990 has had nothing but "issues" from the beginning (lost settings,lost GPS settings and slow UI) I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to give this unit a try (after being very impressed with the YouTube videos I watched) I installed this in a 2008 Lincoln Navigator (with some modification to get it to fit) and I couldn't be happier!! The UI is by far better then any of those Kenwood's I mentioned above. Sound quality awesome! Bluetooth awesow! Navigation (haven't used it a lot yet) very good. As of right now I have not found anything I do not like (it has only been a day so far and I'm still learning all the new features) I will post another review/update in a few weeks aftrer using the unit more. So far I'm VERY HAPPY!!! Pros: Great UI, Great sound, Great everything!!!! Cons: The only thing I have found so far (and I guess this is all Alpine units) is the "parking brake" feature real p.I.t.a. but nothing the PAC TR7 interface piece wont take care of....

Husqvarna's 900cc adventure touring project
Article Summary
Faced with ever-increasing adventure touring competition from KTM, Yamaha, Ducati and Honda, BMW is ramping up new model development at subsidiary Husqvarna with a view to developing more dirt-orientated large capacity off-road and semi-off-road models that will not be in direct competition with its class-leading R1200GS. Several new models will be unveiled at EICMA in November, all based on the Rotax 800cc parallel twin engine used in the BMW F800R. The Rotax engine, for those not familiar with it is a pearler, with throttle response so acutely calibrated that it can be ridden like this, so the newly developed 900cc variant can be expected to be even better.

Instead of making real progress they seem to be drooling over stupid version number.
Who cares about LRA, NBA, C++ internals etc ?
I want PERFORMANCE ( of the compiler as wall as compiled code) and good, defined user interface.
I couldn't care less if it is written in brainfuck and uses random code generation.

Dave Graham Sends New V15
Dave Graham has just completed his project to yield yet another V15.
Named Bridge of Ashes, Graham describes the line on The Island as "a blunt powerful prow, situated near the road in Estes Park, in an area named Elkland."
Graham had been projecting the problem for several months and had even decided to incorporate a little training to insure success. "I'm not taking any chances," wrote Graham on The Island. "I started doing push-ups. And even sit-ups."

Pittsburgh's Model & Photographer MeetUp is a group for Models, Photographers, MUAs and others who would like to get together for workshops, photoshoots, portfolio work, and networking.
Monthly open shoots allow for both photographers and models to update their portfolios, hone skills, and show off changes in look or style. Our Group Shoots/Meetups are a great way to network, add to your portfolio, or just have a little creative fun.
We offer models TF* (No Charge!) portfolio building opportunities several tims a month. TRUE portfolio building opportunity with different photographers and different props, and themes, with NO FEE other than your time to be there!
Models who show up always get quite a few usable images for their portfolios. So, it's a great way to make sure your portfolio always reflects your current "look" (hair, tan, weight, etc)
Our workshops try to teach a skill or technique, not to just be a way to shoot some models. Models have a chance to earn a little money, and photographers have a chance to learn something, try something new, or add something to their portfolio they might not have had the ability or opportunity to do. Our picnics are just a fun time :)
We have BOTH nude and non-nude events. We DO NOT host "adult" events. We concentrate on the artistic and creative. NOTE: As of June 2012 we are MOSTLY a NON-NUDE event group.
We teach the SKILLS you can use in your own photography, or modeling, to further your goals. We do *not* teach you how to duplicate what we do, and we encourage EVERYONE to develop their own style, and to work within the parameters they are comfortable with.
You are not required to attend every event. Models are encouraged to participate since they benefit greatly with updated images in a variety of styles in exchange for their time. Photographers get to work with models, learn new techniques, network, and have a lot of fun.
This is one of THREE related groups.
That way you can pick the levels you are comfortable with.
We suggest you join this group, first, since this group host the monthly group shoots, basic studio/lighting workshops, and is the most openly active.
Discounts on jewelry, beads, supplies

How could I try to explain programming to a child, about 6 to 8 years old?
closed as off topic by Mark Trapp Nov 11 '11 at 20:01Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
You could have the child tell you how to do something (this should be a task that the child fully understands how to do). Then play the following game:
This should help to explain how you instruct a computer to these certain tasks. You can then explain that once you teach the computer how to do something, it can repeat that task over and over again, very quickly: |
Depends on what level of detail you want to go into. By 6, most kids are able to understand the concept of computer programs, or at least video games. You can explain programming by saying that it's about creating computer programs by making lists of instructions for the computer to follow. If you want to introduce concepts like formal logic and bugs, try an analogy. It's like that robot on the TV shows who will always do exactly what the bad guy tells it to do--you know the one--and when the bad guy doesn't get his instructions just right, the robot does something silly. |
Depends on the 6 year old. |
I'd explain it as making a list of things that you want the computer to do. Then explain that computers speak a different language so you have to type the list in one of the languages computers can speak. That seems simple enough for even a small child to understand. |
try explaining how did the calculator get it's digit displayed. one two three eight Someting like, when one press key 8 all the lights get turned on for number 8. When pressing key 1, 2 lights are turned on for number 1, etc. |
Try to find a reference that makes sense to the persons specific frame of mind. You can make comparisons with other tasks that involves controlling something through instructions, like writing musical notes or cooking recepies, or working as a football coach or an ochestra conductor. |
My first contact with programming was with Logo. And I still have a good feeling about it today. I think the "turtle" is the key to get your kids interested in the stuff. Showing them line of code will not make them exited ;) They want to move the turtle ! Logo is also much more adapted since kids of 6 years old. They are learning how to read and write at that age. |
You can do cooking by following written instructions, step by step, just like a simple computer does while following a piece of software. |
You might consider introducing the child to Scratch, which is specifically designed to get children involved/interested in programming. My son started to plya with it around 7, although he was mostly just playing with the interface - making things larger or smaller, duplicating sprites, that sort of thing. He's 9 now, and going much deeper, with a developing understanding of the event model and changing the behaviour of the components. He wants to know why things don't work the way he wants and what can be done about that. He plays with it when he wants for as long as he wants, with encouragement (admittedly) from me, but no pressure. |
Let him play Light-Bot 2.0 or 1.0: http://armorgames.com/play/6061/light-bot-20 Worked for my kid even when he was just 3 years old! :) Amazing game! Kids can discover basics of procedural programming, recursion and conditionals themselves without any explanation from you! ;) |
When someone doesn't know how to talk to a computer, they tell me and then I tell the computer what to do. I've been asked this same question by adults and I'm tempted to give this answer because my current answer seems to be way over their head (at least the expression on their face seems to indicate that.). |
You can give Lego NXT a try. Fun for the kids to build a simple robot and give it simple instructions to complete simple tasks using their UI-based programming interface. |
Don't bother, play football with them instead. :o) |
I picked this up a couple of years ago: C-Jump Boardgame. My son is 7 so I think he still has some time before he's truly interested in programming. If and when that happens hopefully the game will help. |
Don't try explaining it to them... let them ask! Instead, focus on trying to inspire them. I'm a programmer because I found a BASIC manual in the drawer beside my dad's brand-new XT when I was 8. After realizing that I could make the computer do stuff by typing the commands in that book, I was inspired, and have been ever since. My dad never explained anything! |

Interesting. From my personal experience with the 2, I actually found Kubuntu to be "snappier" than Xubuntu on this crappy 800 MHz Celeron. I'll see if there's any noticeable difference once I get my Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz PC.
http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=8935With Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu each deploying a different desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, and Xfce respectively), how do each of these distributions compare performance-wise? We have taken two systems -- one with dual Intel Clovertown processors and the other an AMD Sempron -- and tested out each of these distributions in some of our commonly used Linux benchmarks to see how the performance truly stacks up. In this article we will be presenting part one of our results.
Interesting. From my personal experience with the 2, I actually found Kubuntu to be "snappier" than Xubuntu on this crappy 800 MHz Celeron. I'll see if there's any noticeable difference once I get my Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz PC.
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, & Xubuntu Benchmarks
Can you explain the limited benchmarking in the article, also can you try running superPI, my sempron 32bit 3100+ from 03' can do better that that, and ubuntu is a resource hog of the linux distro's i've run (slightly higher than the knoppix, and gnome desktops i've run.
still compared to windows, those times are good for that hardware.
Are there any other underlying differences between kubuntu, ubuntu, and xubuntu other than window manager? If there aren't you might as well just say this is a performance comparison between the three window managers, not distros.
From the first set of benchmarks there doesn't seem to be any gaping performance differences between any of the distros which would warrant using one over another solely based upon speed. Spending an extra tenth of a second or so to compile something is a fare trade for all the features of KDE. At least I think so.
Either way, good article. Would there be any chance that you'd include performance benchmarks of games running through wine in the upcoming installment?
Games running through WINE could be a possibility.
We can't accurately compare these three distributions with this type of benchmarking. From this perspective, these are essentially the same distribution. With the LAME encoding tests, for example, we're running the same LAME compiled with the same compiler on the same hardware with the same libraries. The window manager doesn't even figure into the equation. We could even boot into runlevel 3 (no window manager) and get almost identical results.
First, we have to acknowledge that these are actually all the same distribution with a different default window manager. Then, if we really want to do a comparison, we must devise tests that compare common tasks between the three different environments. Timing the start-up of the X-Window server would be one accurate point of comparison.
The challenge in this testing environment would be to avoid a subjective comparison. For example, if I feel that Konsole is better than Gnome-Terminal, it's not valid unless I can identify a feature or flaw that would affect most users.
If we, as a community, came up with a list of tests we'd like to see for comparison of the three window managers, would the Phoronix team be willing to conduct them and document their results?
Maybe this can be inspiration for a future article which compares window managers and even includes some of the less popular ones: Enlightenment, WindowMaker, IceWM, FvWM, etc...
I've been happily using Kubuntu steadily for more than six months now. Before that, as a faithful Red Hat then Fedora user for years, I had already chosen KDE over Gnome.
I've tried XFCE, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, and even FvWM in the past. I have the (untested) impression that Gnome is less resource intensive than KDE and XFCE is less resource intensive than Gnome. I think I would tend to agree with most of Mr. Torvalds' controversial comments with regard to Gnome.

Evolve recumbent trike folds up in seconds, fits in trunk of smart car
The Evolve recumbent trike reportedly folds up very small, very fast
Article Summary
Relatively obscure though recumbent bicycles are, many people appreciate the ergonomic and aerodynamic advantages of the quirky two-wheelers. If quirkiness is your thing, however, then a recumbent tricycle might be even more to your liking. Not only do they look pretty sharp, but they're also more stable than the bicycles. Unfortunately, however, most of them are also quite cumbersome to transport - can you imagine trying to carry one up a flight of stairs, or fit it inside a car? Fortunately, there are some recumbent trikes that fold up. One in particular has been lighting up the recumbent forums lately, as it folds very small, very fast.

Looking down the grocery store aisles, you'll see cartons of milk, bottles of juice, and many other products packaged with attractive labels. But, how do you know if you are selecting a healthy drink for your kids? Here are some tips for your next trip to the grocery store.
Milk is a great source of calcium for your kids. The United States Department of Agriculture offers these recommendations of how much milk to drink:
Have your child drink fat-free, unflavored milk after age 2. If your child is used to drinking whole milk, slowly transition to low-fat milk. Unflavored milk is also a great choice because it does not have any sugar added.
Milk is a great way to help your child get calcium. One cup of milk contains about 300 milligrams (mg) of calcium. If your child is lactose intolerant or if you prefer to give your child soy or rice milk, check the label to ensure it has the nutrients your child needs. These beverages do not naturally contain calcium or other nutrients in dairy milk, but some varieties are fortified. Also, work with your child's doctor to come up with a diet that meets your child's calcium needs.
If your child is longing for something sweet to drink, 100% fruit juices are a healthier alternative than sodas, fruit drinks, or sweet, fruity caffeinated teas. However, pediatricians warn against allowing your child to overindulge in fruit juices, as their high sugar content contribute to conditions like obesity and tooth decay.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children 1-6 years old should limit their fruit juice intake to 4-6 ounces (118-177 milliliters) per day. For children aged 7-18, juice intake should be 8-12 ounces (236-354 milliliters) per day. Juice should also not be introduced to an infants diet before 6 months of age. The AAP also suggests you encourage your child to choose whole fruit over fruit juices to meet their recommended daily fruit intake.
Water is always a healthy choice. In fact, the US Department of Agriculture's MyPlate initiative encourages everyone to drink more water and leave the sugary drinks behind.
If your child is active, more water will be needed. Fortunately, water contains no fat, no sugar, no caffeine, and no calories. How much water each child needs varies greatly due to activity level and climate. Adequate water consumption does affect our bodies, right down to the cellular level. If your child is not fond of water, try mixing water and fruit juice to add some flavor. Also, many healthy food choices are good sources of water such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Obviously, it will be easier to monitor your young child's beverage options. But your child may be more likely to continue healthy beverage habits into adulthood if they are learned early at home. One of the most effective ways of teaching healthy choices is by being a role model. Try opting for low-fat milk or water over coffee, sodas, or other beverages.

Near-Death Experiences, The Rest of the Story: What They Teach us About Living, Dying, and Our True Purpose, by P.M.H. Atwater
Hampton Roads, 9781571746511, 288pp., 2011
Phyllis Atwater is a well known researcher and author in the field of near death experiences, in fact she is one of the first researchers in the field and Near-Death Experiences, The Rest of the Story is her final book on the subject as she's retiring. As someone with a few NDE in my past and an interest in the subject I was very excited for this book. I was worried that it would be a rehash, like many books on the subject tend to be, but I was not disappointed and in fact this book exceeded my expectations. This book contains "forty-three years of research involving nearly seven thousand adults and children" and while some of it is familiar, there is a lot of new material as Atwater is retiring she "finally say[s] things [she] never dared to say before."

Just wanted to say "hey" and to let you all know how much I miss your posts.
I hope that everyone is doing well, safe, sane, sober, happy, joyous, and free.
A common daily thought for me, is how much the quality of my life depends on my fellowship and relationship with all of you, and many others on our path. Each day is a day that I have a tremendous amount of gratitude that I have you and we have each other. For me, having you, is one of the greatest of all gifts from God, as I understand Him. I thank you, and I thank God, for you. If I can ever be of help or service to you... just let me know.
Dallas B.

"I had a super small, very spur of the moment wedding. As a result none of my out of state family were able to attend. So we used these to break the news; we slipped them in everyone's holiday cards. They were a huge hit! My family adored them!! Inserting the photos was super easy and I was even able to "fix" some of them by zooming to make the clarity better. The best part for me though was the super fast shipping. I ordered on Friday night and they arrived early Monday. Now I did pay for super expedited shipping, but they arrived a day early. I am definitely ordering more and would highly recommend!!!!"
"Loved this cute little post card for a simple announcement, liked the design, happy with our order as is. Good paper quality, colors are true to online example. Great product, will be ordering invites."
"The colors and quality of the cards were awesome! They were exactly what I was wanting. The customer service was amazing as well!"
"My order had to be re-done due to a printing issue and the reprints were delivered within 2 days. Excellent customer service with respect to the proof and the actual product."
"I really liked the outcome of this postcard. The color I chose was seamist and it looked great. The quality was just as I expected. Shipping was quicker than quoted."

In a first-of-its kind study, a Washington State University researcher has pinpointed certain foods he discovered help prevent the spread of cancer.
For months Professor Gary Meadows studied Metastasis Suppressor Genes.
Metastasis Suppressor Genes are important little genes that, if you feed them right, keep cancer from spreading, or metastasizing. If they re not fed right, then the genes shut down.
Foods like garlic, broccoli and pomegranate have a positive impact on these suppressor genes. Meadows' study also found ginger and turmeric keep the cancer suppressors strong.
He does know there are more cancer snuffing foods than this study identified. He s learned that the simple act of grocery shopping should mean more than just what sounds good for dinner.
You might assume that the same foods known to prevent cancer are the same foods that keep it from spreading, but Gary says that's not always the case. That's why he says variety is so important, because each food protects you in a different way.

Devilishly clever customer service from Mercedes-Benz
June 29, 2005 Direct from the why-didn't they-think-of-this-sooner department comes the news that Mercedes-Benz Australia will launch a new customer service concept for Australian luxury car buyers early next year when it opens purpose-built sales and service facilities within airport precincts in Melbourne and Sydney. Based on the premise that luxury car owners travel frequently, and will appreciate the convenience of having their car serviced in the "downtime" whilst away, we think it's very clever and a logical extension of the company's customer service philosophy. All drop-offs and pick-ups are arranged by a Mercedes-Benz Airport Express valet and instead of sitting in a carpark, your pride and joy is being looked after with all the tender loving care of Mercedes Benz.

Gallery: Lovely Stacked Wood Outdoor Theater in Estonia Will Be Recycle...
It is constructed out of lightweight timber batons.
This wonderful outdoor theater incorporates the adjoining pond, trees, and park into its set design, taking advantage of the natural backdrop to enhance the drama. When the season begins to turn, all 280 square meters of the 420 seat theater will be taken down and put to some other hopefully equally special use.

Don't be surprised to find horses tethered to the trees in the grocery-store parking lot. It's just the way they do things in Bozeman.
For a moderate excursion with great views, hike the 'M' trail.
Located off Route 86 in Bridger Canyon, it's roughly an 850-foot elevation gain. There are three circuits to choose from that are 1, 2, and 3 miles in length. It's easy to eat well in downtown Bozeman.
The best breakfast is at the Nova Café. Dine like locals on French toast stuffed with huckleberries and cream cheese, or enjoy the café's creative egg "Benedictions."
For a caffeine boost, sidle into Wild Joe's Organic Coffee and Tea House. Curl up in one of the comfy chairs, or use the Bike and Ski Lounge to tweak gear at no cost.
The Chocolate Moose is a must-stop for a sugar fix. It has an impressive selection of locally made chocolates, candy, and an old-fashioned soda fountain featuring Montana-made Wilcoxson's ice cream. Be sure to try the "Chocolate Runs Though It."
Although Bozeman is the place for beef and bison, Italian cuisine made with primarily local ingredients at the Blackbird Kitchen makes the most of seasonal foods with a simple, elegant, menu.
The Bogert Farmers' Market is the place to be on Tuesday summer evenings. Artisan breads, fresh pizza, and the pride
of local growers keep the market changing throughout the season. The wares of gifted artists as well as exuberant local musicians add to the festivities.
The City Hall Community Garden is thriving in formerly unused space on city-owned property. It is a gardener-run
operation, and individual ingenuity shines in ambitious attempts to extend the short season. They hope the garden inspires others to utilize overlooked spaces.
The Bozeman Community Food Co-op is a Montana icon for all things organic, local, and sustainable. From the freshest spring greens to award-winning goat cheese from the local Amaltheia Dairy, the co-op prides itself on highquality, seasonal fare. There is plenty of wholesome food to go at the West Main Deli, or run upstairs to the Flying C Café for coffee and dessert. The downtown store offers an ever-changing menu for a sit-down meal.

Perhaps the easiest way to determine how large the ballast tank needs to be is to put your sub in water and to trim it out for your preferred submerged trim. (e.g. periscope depth or perhaps with the top of the conning tower just barely out of the water) Then add floatation foam until the boat floats at the correct waterline.
The volume of the foam that you used to get it to surface trim is how large the ballast tank needs to be.

Very easy to put on and will buy another
By Paul the outdoor guy

I bought these for my 86 year old father because he just can't stay inside in bad weather. Always needs to keep busy outside. These are also very easy for him to put on which is great.
Lightweight, warm, waterproof

XLarge fit perfect on my size 11.5 work boots.Lightweight and stable for comfortable walking even on cold icy conditions.
Stabilicer Overshoes
By Nunzio the coal stove dude
from Fairfield CT
I was really impressed how well the XL size fit over my size 11 - 1/2 Magnum work boots. They are lightweight and fit the boot perfectly. A couple of winters ago I made my own Stabilicers by screwing stainless sheet metal screws into the sole of my boot which worked well, but slipped easily on non- snow/ice surfaces such as concrete, stone or tile. These make more sense because you can take them off when not needed, such as walking into a building from an icy parking lot. Great design!! Cheap insurance against falling down on ice and breaking your wrist or hip !! Do not walk on ceramic tile with these on, they will slip easily...

Are you at risk for blood clots?
(NewsUSA) - The average American might worry about having a fatal heart attack, but few of us know that a blood clot in the veins is the third most common vascular disorder after heart attack and stroke.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in the deep veins of the leg. Although DVT itself is not fatal, the problem is that parts of the clot can break off and travel up to the lung arteries, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE), a condition that kills up to 180,000 Americans each year. Around 25 to 50 percent of DVT survivors develop a long-term complication, called "post-thrombotic syndrome," which causes chronic leg swelling, pain, heaviness and fatigue, and in severe cases disability and leg sores.
Up to 1 million Americans are affected by DVT or PE each year, and up to 600,000 are hospitalized. DVT risk increases as we age; however, the condition can occur at any age. The risk also increases for women during pregnancy or four to six weeks after delivery.
Why do blood clots develop? In general, blood clots originate in areas where there is sluggish blood flow, a tendency to clot quickly, or vein irritation or inflammation. Those at greatest risk have had recent surgery, an acute illness requiring hospitalization, cancer or a family history of blood clots.
DVT can be detected by using ultrasound and is typically treated with blood-thinning or anticoagulant medication. For major clots, doctors might use clot-busting medications and devices to soften and remove or surgically remove them. Although blood clots are common, most can be prevented through use of blood-thinning medications when patients are at higher risk.
The Vascular Disease Foundation, a national non-profit organization that provides educational information on vascular disease, provides these tips:
- If hospitalized or scheduled for surgery, talk to your physician about how to prevent DVT.
- Discuss the risks of birth control and estrogen hormone therapy with your doctor.
- If you travel long distances, whether by plane or by car, get up and walk every hour.
- Stop smoking.
- Maintain a healthy weight, and eat a healthy diet.

I actually like the name Fytnargin.
Phoronix: Thank God, Fedora 14 Is Not Fytnargin
Following a period of Fedora contributors proposing codenames for the release of Red Hat's next community operating system, Fedora 14, voting commenced. Fortunately, the name that's been decided upon is not Fytnargin...
I actually like the name Fytnargin.
Fedora uses a community oriented process for suggesting and electing codenames and anyone can participate in it. God does not come into the picture :-)
Why is Laughlin better than Fytnargin? Neither one makes sense to me.
The names are suggested by anyone interested at
You can find explanation of the names as well as the corelation to the previous name in that page.
The release naming is actually a GAME.
F11: Leonidas
F12: Constantine
F13: Goddard
Laughlin: is-a PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS (like goddard)
Fytnargin: is-a MOUNTAIN (like goddard)
But what God? Surely not Cthulhu!
How about "Gradbutzkin"?

Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 16, NUMBER 46 THE BUTTERCUP MONTH Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai APRIL 6, 1988 Quiet quarterly features a new idea for Koss and a New York visitor The April quarterly Council meeting, attended by about 40 people, was relatively quiet, although a couple of heavy discussions took place. For example, there were questions on whether or not 79 tracts of land should be advertised to only Tribal members on the annual spring bid letting. The BIA was concerned about the interests of individual owners of undivided land being represented properly._ 10 00 si Don Boldt, BIA, said thatoutof the 79 tracts, 41 tracts are 100% Tribally owned, 20 are 100% individually owned, and 16 are shared by the Tribes and individual owners. The Council had previously took action to reserve the spring bid advertisement for Tribal members only, in order to give the Tribal members the opportunity to attain some land to get a start on farms or ranches, etc. Without the non-Indian bid, the Council felt there would be no chance of an outside monopoly that would put the bids out of the Indians' reach. However, the BIA contends that there is no sure way of sifting through those bids while making sure the individual owner will receive an equivalent to the fair-market value. "How can you establish market value until you open it up to everyone?" asked Wyman Babby, Flathead Agency superintendent. Councilman Louie Adams argued that a Tribal member can set the market value. "A non-member with a big operation will try to monopolize, even to the extent of bidding way over what the land is worth," said Adams. "I've seen it done. The Indian operator who's trying to get a start can't compete." What it finally came down to wasn't a question of whether it was right to limit the first round of bids, but whether the entire undivided interest situation was fair to the shareholders. "Undivided interests aren't worth a damn, it's just as good as wasteland," said Arlee resident Kevin Howlett. "If you can't get total cooperation of all the shareholders, then you can't do anything." Al Sloan, Pablo, suggested the Tribal Realty department be given the duties of (Continues on page three) 1988 Christmas tree season news A meeting will be held in the BIA east conference room at the Tribal Complex in Pablo on Monday, April 18, at 3 p.m., to discuss the regulations governing the 1988 Christmas tree harvesting-and-buying season.

But if someone wants to hurt his friends, parts of his family or Kirigakure, his Blood Mist Legacy activates and he goes on rampage killing all who oppose the power of Kirigakure, even if it hurts him or even if he has to sacrifice himself or parts of his body to protect them.

Background Info.
"Kids I'm going to tell you an incredible story, the story of how I met your mother."
Voice out of nowhere starts yelling:
"VOI! Narrator, that is f*cking wrong story"
Narrator quickly replies:
"Sorry, sorry, sorry. Ok, now than,...
Our whole universe was in the..."
Again the same voice again out of nowhere starts calling:
"VOI! F*cking wrong story again, seriously, I shouldn't have payed you for telling HIS story. This is your last chance Narrator, than I will kill you."
Narrator again starts talking:
"I wanna be the very best, like no one ever waaaaaaaaaas pam pam pam to catch them is my real test, to train them is my goaaaaaaaaaaaal. I will tr..."
Sound of sword cutting through body of poor Narrator is heard and for a minute, there is complete silence. Than that same voice starts saying:
"VOI! I warned you stupid Narrator, now look at yourself, you're DEAD, you hear me? You are freaking DEAAAAAAAAD."
Than another voice calls to person who killed Narrator:
"Than why the hell don't YOU say his story Squalo."
Squalo: "VOI! Is that you BAKA BOSS?"
Boss: "Who are you calling baka Squalo, I will kill you where you stand, but first you should tell his story already, everyone is getting bored.
Squalo: "Ok ok, so people, listen or I kill you, this is story of Yamamoto Takeshi:
So, he got borned in Konoha into Yamanaka clan, but even tho his father was 2nd in command of Yamanaka clan, he tried to hide Yamamoto from fate of being shinobi. Problem was when Yamamoto reached 13th year of life and...
Boss: "Shut up or I will really kill you, just hurry up, will ya? AND WHERE IS MY FOOD."
Squalo: "SHUT UP! Ok, so, where was I,...
Problem was when Yamamoto reached 13th year of life and was founded as prodigy of shinobi world in almost all skills shinobi can get. During his lifetime he mastered all Basic 5 Elements from his father as well as secret Yamanaka Techniques. After that he mastered Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, some Kaito's Taijutsu and Kenjutsu.
First he became Genin, than Chuunin and than Jounin. His father than decided that they will move out of Konoha as it became corrupt and wanted to create soldier who would only obey from Yamamoto. His father decided that they will move into Kirigakure, because he knew Mizukage very well and was good old friend with him. When they reached Kirigakure, Yamamoto decided that he will become Jounin of Kirigakure and help it defeat anyone who stands in it's way. As years passed, Yamamoto was sent on many missions and thanks to his high Kenjutsu skills, he became able to complete all of them with quite an ease, as they were mainly missions where he encountered high amount of enemies and defeated all of them, yes, defeated, but not killed, at least in most cases. Once, when he was still 14, I Squalo fought him and defeated him very easily, but than, 1 week later, we were faced against each other again, and I lost misserably. Well, let's continue. Mizukage started to like Yamamoto a lot and decided to send him on long time mission into Amegakure. He was supposed to gather information, but more importantly learn how to use deadly Rain Techniques which can only be taught in Amegakure. He said goodbye to his father and headed for Amegakure, where he was supposed to stay 1 whole year, but after 1 month he already learned everything there is about Rain techniques and had full mastery of them in that 1 month. He send message to Mizukage that he finished studying Rain Techniques and that he gathered all information that he could. Mizukage than send his own message to Yamamoto that he should return back to Kirigakure and that he has been promoted into position of ANBU Hunting division of Kirigakure. On his way back to Kirigakure, he met master of Kenjutsu who taught him how to use very powerful Infinite One-Sword Style Kenjutsu style. As he became master of this style very quickly, he continued his way to Kirigakure where he met his old friend Taiketsu who taught him his own Taijutsu style which is called Kei-Sekken. When he became officially member of ANBU's Hunting squad, he was ordered to kill group of people who ran away from Kirigakure. Yamamoto himself was faster than his allies from Hunting division and defeated all people who betrayed Kirigakure and killed all of them for his village. Than he was send on more ANBU missions as time passed and when he finally reached his 22th year of living, he became leader of ANBU Black Ops and leader of ANBU's Hunting Division and became the youngest ANBU Black Ops leader ever in history of Kirigakure. When he became respected in the village, he changed the name of ANBU's Hunting Division into Millefiore. Than Mizukage wanted him to become 1 of the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist, but Yamamoto declined with reasoning that 7 Swordsmen of the Mist should be from Kirigakure and even tho that he loves Kirigakure, he wasn't borned in Kirigakure. Than when he became 24 years old, he was known all around the world as Sono Hitotsu Motte Sono Ame (The One With The Rain)."
Boss: "Are you finished already?"
Squalo: "SHUT UP BAKA BOSS, well, I guess I am finished, for now, but his story will continue. By the way boss, I think you shouldn't forget to who you lost back then."
Boss: "WHAT DID YOU SAY, I WILL F*CKING KILL YOU BASTARD."
And chaos breaks around as Xanxus starts shooting fire all around him.
