Talk:Hashirama Senju

plotholes and errors?
I remember ShounenSuki sensei stating that Tsunade was born after Hashirama's death, this also makes sense. Konoha exists 65 years, Tsunade is 54, let's say she was 4 during Hashi's gambling flashback. Unless he wears TONS OF MAKEUP, that dude should look, well... quite older. But that's the first part of the problem... He clashed with Madara 80 years prior for the first time, let's say he was circa 18 at the time. If he didn't die, he would have been at least (give or take) 100 years old now, but we settle on 98. Now, 98-50=48... so you want to tell me, Hashirama died as 48 years old but is still damn handsome? Remember the anime-only picture with him and "Mito" holding Tsunade, that was agreed upon not to be canon? Well, brace yourself, cause it's not that farfetched now O_O Talk about eternal youth, but then happy Mito, poor Hashi T_T Kudos to the animation team ^_
The second part of the problem is, that he was circa 34 during the founding of Konoha, Tsunade has been born when he was 44. But Tobirama was already Hokage 5 years after the founding. Why did he give up so early on his Kage position and bothered to die 9-10 years later? (Note: Tobirama becoming Hokage before Hashirama's death is confirmed by a databook, but so short reign?) Unless that damn bully Tobirama kicked his butt for Madara incident and took his Kage hat by force ;D That also makes you wonder why he didn't participate in the 1st SWW, unless Tobirama died before Hashirama, yeah, I'm sure Hashi was already dead as of the war, but then again, the Tsunade gambling couldn't happen and Suki sensei is right, thus Kishi screwed up.--Elveonora (talk) 16:34, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Well since the Obito reveal, things confirmed in the databooks are getting more and more screwed over. Though the inconsistency I noticed was Suigetsu kept referring to Hashirama as the God of Shinobi, wasn't that Hiruzen's title? Also it's not that far fetched that Hashirama would look good for his age. as a ninja he likely exercises often, he doesn't seem to be a smoker like Hiruzen and most of all, if the Uzumaki have longevity just being related to the Senju and his Granddaughter uses medical techniques to look about 30, I don't see how a guy who can literally sprout life from every pore can't look ten years younger than he should be at the founding of Konoha. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 17:27, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Dont you think you're looking perhaps a little too deeply into this ? I'm sure Kishimoto will go into the early days of Konaha soon. Hashi has only just come into play, chill out and see where it goes :) --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 17:32, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Ummm, yeah, gonna have to agree with Kakashi on this one. There are even manga panels showing Hashirama holding a young Tsunade years before this chapter came out. Nothing was skewered here. It doesn't matter if him giving his title up doesn't make sense to you. That's obviously what he did. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 18:45, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
@Hawk, then his youthful appearance should be noted. @@Kakashi&Fox, so Tobirama barely seen Tsunade but Hashirama outlived him to gamble with her? Sure, why not. Also can you provide those manga panels? I remember Suki stating it was an anime mistake as she was born afterwards--Elveonora (talk) 18:58, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Im going to make my point again and say before we discuss this further we should wait for Kishimoto to elaborate on the story. The guy isnt an idiot and there have been lots of so called plot "loopholes" which have turned out to be plot twists or explained. --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 19:02, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Not really, look at Zabuza, Anko, Asuma, Hayate, Ibiki and some other characters. Their ages and events contradict the official timeline (dates from manga and databooks) I just find it weird that Hashi looks so young despite being pretty much a grandpa and him outliving Tobirama and that he didn't participate in the war he had caused. Also Tobirama wouldn't declare Hiruzen a Hokage with Hashirama still alive I guess--Elveonora (talk) 19:16, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
With the age looking thing we can safely assume he pulled the same thing as Tsunade. With the rest bear in mind that the Senju had incredible amounts of Life force (Yang chakra) therefore we can assume they live for a hell of a long time. Look at the Third Hokage he was incredibly powerful at the age of 67 and he wasn't even Senju!--Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 19:26, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Remember the Senjū are related to the Uzumaki, and the Uzumaki have powerful life forces and vitality. Besides, this is a Manga, it's not gonna follow real world logic. Also just because they were different ages doesn't mean they can't be in Chūnin Selection Exams together, look at Team Guy they were in the Chūnin Exams together and they were a year apart, and there were even 20 something yr olds in those same Chūnin Examinations. Kakashi awas a graduated the academy by 6 and became a Jōnin by 13, ageis very wierd in Naruto.188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:30, February 5, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
I don't think Yang chakra was ever stated to be Life Force, also Hiruzen died at 69. Hashi's appearance isn't THAT much of a problem, but still important and (can't recall the damn word now... strange) to be noted. The problem lies especially with him holding Tsunade and time of death @Yomiko, that is being taken into consideration, and no, Kakashi became Jounin at 9--Elveonora (talk) 19:34, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
@Elveonora: Yes, life force is essentially yang chakra I refer back to when Naruto's nine tails form makes Yamato's wood grow (LOL) the nine tails only has yang chakra due to Minato's sealing. I think the subtext is that the Senju inherited the sage of 6 paths life force (yang) and the Uchiha inherited his spiritual energy (yin) thats why they inherently can pull some bad ass genjutsu. Now that's cleared up, yes I understand that it may all seem a bit hazy but before we start making wild assumptions about our beloved Hashi we should wait a couple of chapters and return to this argument if nothing is revealed :) --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 19:42, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Well, the only arguments present are offtopic and unrelated to this issue, so in short, all we need is the promised manga shot of Hashi holding Tsunade, and if it doesn't exist (which I think) then a source for Suki's statement. If it was just his assumption, then it should be investigated further, but if there's canonical proof behind the statement of her being born after his death, then I think it's pretty much justified to list as an error in trivia or elsewhere.--Elveonora (talk) 19:51, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Wow, 9? That really is crazy.22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:56, February 5, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
Kakashi became a Jonin at 13. Otherwise we are gonna need to make some changes to his article. Why are people saying Hashi outlived Tobi? Is it because he wasn't confused about Hiruzen being Hokage? Lets not forget he saw the dude in his old age in Sand-Sound Invasion and we don't know if Hashi and Tobirama had discussed together the Hokage succession before dying off officially way back then, finally giving the title with the Kinkaku Force incident.Umishiru (talk) 19:59, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Nobody said anything about Tobi confusion or the gold and silver brothers. --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 20:02, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Changes done, please now stay on topic, we can take this elsewhere. EDIT: sorry for not answering your question, because Tobirama barely lived to see 2 years old Tsunade while Hashirama did long enough to "spoil her and teach her gambling" not to mention he isn't known to have participated in the 1st Shinobi World War and also the Hiruzen promotion reason, everything is stated above--Elveonora (talk) 20:05, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
I was on topic. You guys are the ones who briefly brought up Kakashi's Jonin promotion age with you using another users name in an attempt to rubber stamp your opinion. I wonder if you actually read my post as it is responding to points brought up in the discussion. Since this is how I am being treated, I'll leave the discussion.Umishiru (talk) 20:07, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
@Umishiru you remind me of the Uchiha you know being discriminated against and all ..... --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 20:11, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
I wanted to open a discussion on this, but okay, you guys were faster. So, first of all, Kakashi was 9 years old when he became Jōnin. I think we've discussed this enough. This said, Hashirama meeting Tsunade is impossible:
- 48-45 years prior to Naruto's birth: Konohagakure was founded
- 48-43 years: Hashirama dies after the village just bloomed, but gives Tobirama the Hokage title
- 43 years: Tobirama founds the police
- 38 years: Tsunade is born
See? It was said that Hashirama died not short after the village was established, but not before he gave his title to Tobirama, who then founded the police. Tsunade could've never met him. Seelentau 愛議 16:38, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
@Seelentau. Where has the date of the founding of the village been stated ?. --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 18:24, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Databook I, p. 116-117 and fanbook I, p. 18 and 53 (in the Japanese version, the German pages differ) say the founding of Konoha was ~60 years ago. 60-12=48. So the founding happened ~48 years ago, maybe earlier, because fanbook 2 still says 60 years, even though three or four years have passed. Seelentau 愛議 18:41, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
I think this may be wrong as there a few scenes where Hiruzen Sarutobi is a young boy stood next to both Hokages. He looked around 8 at the time so I would reckon the village is older. However if you get bogged down in all these details it does ruin the experience when watching/reading Naruto.--Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 19:05, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Tobirama wears the forehead protector on that picture, meaning Konohagakure existed already. Seelentau 愛議 19:28, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for support Seelentau ^_ talk about time paradox o_o Really, when bully Tobirama died, Tsunade was circa 2 years old, Hashirama surely died before Tobirama, unless he taught a fetus gambling habits or something. At the time Hiruzen became Tsunade's teacher, he was 24 years old and the Kinkaku Force stuff happened circa 4-5 years earlier. We know Hashi passed on his hat to Tobirama before dying, but surely not almost 10 years before, not to mention I wouldn't say a decade is "shortly" thus it's an error, not to mention as I said, if he was still alive, he would have fought in the war and took his hat back after his brother's death. I know Kishimoto is just a human, but sometimes it appears fans pay more attention to things than he does. It seems like the gambling stuff was just a random idea from nowhere to make a joke about Tsunade and portray him as "Narutoish" an idiot I mean; --Elveonora (talk) 20:48, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
This is all good, but it isn't an "error", it is a plothole created from previous information given, but what is the point of this discussion when there's nothing we can do about it? I mean, sure you guys can hope dates change or what not, but this is as futile as saying that Kakashi's classmates shouldn't have been his classmates. We need to understand that Kishimoto isn't perfect and this isn't a history lesson so stuff like this will always happen.--Cerez365™(talk) 20:58, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
I like history lessons and I'm a nerd ._. anyways, as you may guess, I'd like it to be noted in trivia. Something simple like "he died before Tsunade's birth, so couldn't have spoiled her" should do--Elveonora (talk) 21:08, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- But in the chapter he said he did it. You see what I mean, there is no "he could never have done it".--Cerez365™(talk) 21:13, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, it's manga contradicting databooks, not manga contradicting earlier manga chapters, but it's written by the same dude, or not? I doesn't matter that the general fandom doesn't know nor care, but we are wiki editors and should note details I think--Elveonora (talk) 21:26, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes but you're confusing fandom following details compared to an actual story writer. At best, the only that can be done is a mention of it the same way we did for the Kakashi classmate info.--Cerez365™(talk) 21:33, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, my intention all along isn't to criticize him (even if I sound unfair when talking about Kishi sometimes) but to point inconsistencies in his work. Stating someone mistaken isn't rude, I think, it's pointing out facts, not someone's flaws--Elveonora (talk) 21:49, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
I actually thought the fanbooks and databooks were written by someone else? Just with his over sight? Is that wrong then? —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- Kishimoto is credited as the author of those books. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:18, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
68-60=8 so Hiruzen was 8 when Konoha was founded and most likely was being mentored by Tobirama and Hashirama shortly after that. Hiruzen was 18 at Tsunades Birth and 24 when he became her Jonin sensei. Hashi was alive with Tsunade at least until Tsunade was 3-4 and Hiruzen was 21-22, then he died and Tobirama was Hokage. Now we know you have to be a Jonin to get assigned a team and Tsunade and her team became Genin at 6... so right when they became Genin Hiruzen was still Jonin which means he was not Hokage until at least somewhere in his 24th year of life, don't assume the photo of them with Hiruzen when he had his facial hair was when they were 6.. we don't know how long the were Genin. So therefor Tobirama died at the latest when Hiruzen was 23 and Tsunade was 5. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 03:48, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
and again, if we disregard chapter 599 then Kakashi would be a Jonin at 9, but if we include chapter 599 then he was a 11 year old Jonin. So stop going around stating it a fact Elve, not until databook 4 comes out will we know which way it goes ItachiWasAHero (talk) 03:50, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
And another thing, the ages for Hashi and Tobirama were never given, so stop assuming. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 04:01, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
What's your point? Nothing you wrote is anything new. Also nowhere it's said that a Kage can't teach a team.--Elveonora (talk) 13:01, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
Your smart ass replies are not needed around here. Yes it is true that it isn't stated they can't have a team. But being confound to an office to do paper work all the time, and going to meetings and what not.. I severely doubt any Kages would have a whole team. It has been shown that a Kage can mentor a single student such as Hiruzen with Hashi/Tobirama, Deidara with Onoki, Gaara with his Father and etc.. but it was NEVER proven any actual Kages have taken on any teams for themselves. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 02:51, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Except Tobirama did have a team, Deidara never trained under Onoki and Gaara was never trained by his father; in fact his father spent like what, close to a decade trying to kill him.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 06:31, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
Smart ass replies? You really should check out some professional help for your own sake. It was not "smart ass" I just didn't get your point at all. Also to clarify now that we are at it:
- As Ultimate said, Team Tobirama. Hiruzen was officially Tobirama's student. Hashirama also trained him, but in a similar manner to Jiraiya taking care of Naruto.
- I believe it has been stated somewhere that Ohnoki was Deidara's sensei, but I remember people having troubles finding reference or something?
- In the anime at least, Gaara said his father taught him many forbidden techniques. But that's not student-teacher/jounin commander-genin team relationship. Baki was his sensei.
- Re-checking your post again, is your point an attempt on speculation to prove a point on Hiruzen being possibly younger despite looking older when teaching to-be Sannin and when looking younger (when Tobirama died) him being in fact older?
Congratulations for your lack of logic, people usually age over time, not get better looking.--Elveonora (talk) 12:59, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
I said don't assume the pictures of him with the Genin Sannins with brown facial hair was when he was 24, we don't know how long they were Genin.. Itachi basically looks the same at 21 that he did at 13. So don't assume they were kids or teens in the chapter that Saru was made Kage and Tobirama sacrificed himself for them. Also Deidara looks 15.... but he is 19. Yagura was an adult... but looks 12-13. Roshi was an old man, but looked 40 max. They were small and adults. Your assumptions and presumptions don't hold any ground here. At all. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 03:42, June 10, 2013 (UTC)
Wait, if Hashirama was able to break the binding of theimpure world resurrection so easily this time, why didn't he do it the first time he was resurrected!?!?!?!?--184.108.40.206 (talk) 03:53, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
That um..... that's a pretty good point.220.127.116.11 (talk) 04:05, February 14, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan

- They weren't resurrected with their full power during the first time (Chapter 620, Pg12).--~ UltimateSupreme 06:08, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
- That makes sense, cos no matter how strong Hiru was, he shouldn't have been able to beat Hashi and Tobi together. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:03, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
Hashirama's Cells
Recently, my edits of Hashirama's unique abilities were deleted; saying that it was made up. But if you recall, it was clearly said that Hashirama's cells alone gave various individuals one kind of enhancement or another. Saying its made up is like saying Hashirama had no power of his own, only people who took his cells. Furthermore, Hashirama was stated to represent one half of the Six Path Sage's power; namely his physical body and life force. That being said, please allow me to restore my edit.Steveo920, 1:48, February 14, 2013
- Again, it was stated that various characters enhanced themselves through Hashirama's cells to gain even a portion of his powers. Yamato and Danzo gained the Wood Release purely through Hashirama's cells, Madara extended his life through the cells, and Obito gained regenerative powers through Hashirama's cells. Steveo920, 2:57, February 14, 2013
Rashomon Gates.
As we've in this chapter 621, our beloved First Hokage can use the Rashomon Gates, in his case, the largest version seen so far. Now for the key question...can he use the lesser versions of it? I believe so...if he can bring out five, more than likely he can bring out three or even just one. Opinions and thoughts are appreciated. Darksusanoo (talk) 13:22, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Logically. One who can use 1000 clones can also do 1 clone--Elveonora (talk) 13:33, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
@TheUltimate3, we list Oro as a user of Summoning: Rashōmon as well, so why shouldn't we list Hashi as a user of three and one gates respectively?--Elveonora (talk) 13:47, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Because I didn't know Orochimaru used the One Gate.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:50, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
He actually didn't, I think(at least I don't recall it). He is being listed for the same reasons as users of Multiple Shadow Clone Technique automatically get it's lesser form, nope?--Elveonora (talk) 13:57, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Pretty much yeah. Darksusanoo (talk) 13:59, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I thought orochimaru is listened because Sakon said something like "this technique which originally belongs to orochimaru-sama...." after he used it with his brother.184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:59, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be edited to show that Hashirama summoned 5 gates instead of three?--JUP173R (talk) 20:13, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- It is edited...sometimes recently created techniques take time to show up on character infoboxes. Darksusanoo (talk) 20:26, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Ok I would like to ask some of the sempai's to pay attention to this discussion, as we need consensus. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:10, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Orochimaru is listed as using just one gate because as far as I recall, Sakon mentioned Orochimary having thought it to him, or something along those lines. He gave Oro credit for using it. Now, on whether Hashirama can use one or three gates, this is the very same discussion I had with another user regarding Madara, Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique and Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique. I was for listing Madara as a user of both techniques, since DFRS is simply put five GDFs fired at once. The point was raised that chronologically, DFRS came first, so it's within the realm of possibility of that being the original conceptualised technique, with GDF being developed later as a lesser form of the technique. I personally don't like it, as I believe the clone example someone used above to explain it perfectly, but I find the reasoning used valid enough to live with, so until someone says that the basic version is the original technique, and the advanced one is the derived one, I think they can be listed as related. At the moment, Madara is listed as using DFRS, that technique is listed as parent to GDF, which Madara is not listed as a user of. In a less canon example, Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms is derived from Sixty Four Palms, but it's a lesser version of it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:34, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
God of Shinobi
Why does the page refer to Hashirama by this title?, I don't recall anyone calling him it at any point. TricksterKing (talk) 05:32, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Suigetsu did like two chapters ago.--Yomiko-chan (talk) 05:35, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Dunno how I missed that. TricksterKing (talk) 05:37, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
Just an ability-wise question, should not It be worth mentioning that he might be strongest member that the Senju clan has ever produced, and that Hashirama emerged unharmed after everyone of his battles with Madara Uchiha, including their final battle?--JustaNobody (talk) 21:17, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Unless it's been stated that he is the strongest ever senju, we won't add it. Him surviving all his battles with Madara is already stated and unless it's said that he didn't get hurt at all, it's speculation to say he was unharmed during the fights with Madara, also not really worth mentioning since he is already mentioned as the winner of all the fights. TricksterKing (talk) 22:22, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
I see, point taken and noted.--JustaNobody (talk) 22:28, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
Because I read and through the most recent chapters and I saw that he emerged unharmed from his final battle with Madara Uchiha, I do not want to spoil anything it's just that Madara struck down a Wood Release clone, in their final battle which enabled Hashirama to strike him, from behind without Madara noticing until it was too late, when shown after that, Hashirama was shown unscratched. That's all I am so very sorry for spoiling it for you.--JustaNobody (talk) 22:34, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I think that would just be called surviving, unharmed would mean that he took no damage at all during the battle. TricksterKing (talk) 22:55, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
The thing is he did emerge unharmed with out any scratches at all, with only a missing sandal, and a slightly damaged sleeve on one side, no scratches so surely that would be worth mentioning under his abilities and powers.--JustaNobody (talk) 00:38, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
My fault it turns out he lost an entire section of sleeve and armor on one side and his one arm slightly burned, during his final battle with Madara, but otherwise no serious injuries.--JustaNobody (talk) 02:14, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
Are those last things regarding Madara and Hashirama's final battle worth mentioning under Hashirama's abilities and powers?--JustaNobody (talk) 02:29, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I'd say they aren't worth mentioning, but you could try to put them there and see if they get reverted or not. TricksterKing (talk) 14:10, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
Speculation, Hashirama has some healing no jutsu, doesn't mean he left unharmed each time, quite the opposite, we see him all bloody in flashbacks at least once. The time before their final battle after Izuna's death, it wasn't 1v1, Tobirama and dozen other Senju were there along with Hashirama to defeat Madara and at VOTE he let himself be defeated--Elveonora (talk) 15:08, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
So is there a reason why his brother, Tobirama, isn't catalogued with his family? Scratch that, none of his brothers are added to the family section. Do you guys just not like the idea of Hashirama having siblings? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:44, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Heavens no! Semantics take a while to bridge the relations correctly because there is now a parent in common whose article was recently renamed, the information is no longer manually listed. Please bear with us, as it updates.--Cerez365™(talk) 08:27, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Kawarama isn't his brother that needs to be removed.--Anamantiumninja (talk) 02:08, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- This is already discussed at length on Kawarama's page and until it's proven false, it stays. Learn to read between the lines.--Cerez365™(talk) 02:42, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
No, it should be removed until proven true otherwise you just added information that isn't true because its what you think.--Anamantiumninja (talk) 10:44, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Why wouldn't he be Hashi's bro? ~IndxcvNovelist (talk | contribs | PR | RLS) 10:56, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
He could be but they never said or called him brother. So it should be removed until proven true.--Anamantiumninja (talk) 11:03, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Again, not going to change. It was implied that Kawarama was his brother. Apart from the fact that he looks exactly like them, when Madara spoke of his brothers, Hashirama remembered Itama and Kawarama, why would it be necessary to even bring Kawarama back into the story and at that point, if we weren't supposed to realise that he was their brother as well? --Cerez365™(talk) 12:27, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
Not to mention his name also ends with "rama"--Elveonora (talk) 12:48, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
I find this fact to be very funny. But what about Toka Senju. What's her relationship to him? Animaster334 (talk) 12:54, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- So far, she's only been mentioned to be a close confidant of Hashirama's, and his relative obviously. What does she have to do with anything? Not everything in a series is going to be thrown out into your face, and I know too much can be put into subtleties, but at first we weren't going to list him as a broher but that flashback pretty much concreted the fact that he's their brother. I mean look at them, they look like a perfect set.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:04, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
If people are still too dumb to think for themselves, stubborn and ignorant, perhaps we should do the same as with Konan's person of god jutsu and put up a warning up there--Elveonora (talk) 13:07, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
Still, is it a common thing that nearly all the males end with "-rama" in the Senju clan if they're males? I heard this on a forum. Animaster334 (talk) 13:11, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
Nawaki, Butsuma don't for example--Elveonora (talk) 13:13, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
@vCerez365, did you guys ever consider the fact they could be cousins. Cousins can close like brothers, my cousin is like my brother. The manga didn't concrete the fact they were brothers.--Anamantiumninja (talk) 19:00, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
The pre-Konoha male Senju end in "-ma", not "-rama". Look at the kanji for their name. The "ra" is just a coincidence between Hashirama, Tobirama and Kawarama, from the other kanji in their names. Nawaki is post-Konoha. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:14, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
Cousin is much more speculative than brother, also I doubt that his uncle was responsible for him--Elveonora (talk) 14:14, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
We don't know if Botsuma was responsible for him.--Anamantiumninja (talk) 16:34, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Missing Jutsus
There are some jutsus by Hashirama Senju that weren't added to his Jutsu section on his profile page :
Wood Clone Technique (Manga only) Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall (Anime only) Bringer-of-Darkness Technique (Manga only) Chakra Sensing Technique (Manga only) Contract Seal (Anime only) —This unsigned comment was made by LaRoux4Life (talk • contribs) .
- Should be fixed, let me know if you see any other problems. — SimAnt 22:35, May 9, 2013 (UTC)
More Missing Jutsus & Tool
I found more Jutsus by Hashirama Senju that weren't added too and here they are :
Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique - Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Wood Clone Technique (Manga only) - Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees - Wood Release: Hōbi Technique
Tools :
Scroll of Seals
P.S It seems when new stuff are added to the infobox, It leads to delete the older existed stuff there because i'm pretty sure the Jutsus and tool i mentioned where already there and existed when i checked yesterday.--18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:03, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
So umm.. Can someone add those missing jutsus to his section ?--—This unsigned comment was made by LaRoux4Life (talk • contribs) .
- Let me try this again. The techniques and tools are there. The list is NOT working properly.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:08, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
- The problem that is that every time a page with multivalued properties is saved, the values themselves alternate in being able to be returned as paramaters by the system but can still be searched by. The labels themselves are saved and that is why they all can be seen when you click the Jutsu header. — SimAnt 20:51, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
THE strongest?
I found a small contradiction: In the personality section Hashirama is described as "the man known as the most powerful shinobi to have ever lived". Although he is indeed one of the most powerful shinobi, he is not THE most powerful, since it has been stated that Hiruzen was the strongest of the 5 Hokage, and both of them arguably pale in comparison to the Sage of the Six Paths (does he count?). It should be written as "ONE of the most powerful shinobi to have ever lived" instead. (Xurono (talk) 04:26, May 14, 2013 (UTC))
- Fixed.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:37, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Can i correct Hashirama is by far the strongest as all the kage past and present are no match for madara and hashirama is the only one who can defeat madara, goes to show that he really was the strongest so strong that madara even tried to amplify his power by using hashirama's cells that shows that he wouldn't even bother with other kage only hashirama and hashirama captured all the tailed beasts something hiruzen obviously could not do --ROOT 根 (talk) 16:52, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I still believe Hiruzen has been retconned out of being the strongest Kage, can't see him beating full-strength Hashirama even in his youth--Elveonora (talk) 16:56, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree with you both, just compared him with the information already given before the war; far better to just outright admit there was a retcon it terms of strenght than just initiate a pointless argument of "BUT HE WAS OLD!", "BUT ORO´S EDO WAS RESTRAINING HIM!", etc. Just hope Kishi makes Hiruzen at least "live" up to his title as the God of Shinobi to correct this contradiction; Yet the Sage is still THE strongest. (I KNOW THIS IS NOT A FORUM) Honestly, the "fairy tale strenght" is impossible to call as such; Hiruzen knew Hashirama and his power first hand (and by extension, the Konoha elders and even Danzou), thus he had knowledge of and was able to counter most of the attacks during the fight; he didn´t learn all that of a fairy tale. Just another contradiction, yet this one is impossible to correct since it was stated in the manga, right?--(Xurono (talk) 04:12, May 15, 2013 (UTC))

- It does not matter whether or not he is the strongest shinobi, the reference for the information hailed him only as the God of Shinobi, nothing more. It was edited to reflect that.--Cerez365™(talk) 05:05, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
Physical strength, reflexes, worth mentioning etc?
Should Hashirama's speed, reflexes, and strength be mentioned under his abilities & powers be worth mentioning, as he shown himself to be capable of wielding large and heavy tools, as well as equipment without it slowing him down, and being able to strike down Madara before he even a chance to react?--JustaNobody (talk) 02:38, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning that when Hashirama was alive, he was able to stop his younger brother Tobirama from killing Madara with just a glare; under his abilities & powers?--JustaNobody (talk) 00:37, June 16, 2013 (UTC)--
- Just curious, do you have some kind of disability or something? Talking about your habit of whatever that is. For the question. a glare isn't a power, it's a display of dominance and Tobirama showing him respect--Elveonora (talk) 01:02, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
No I do not have a disability, I am just being honest; plus I was asking about because it seemed like it my be important what's wrong with that?--JustaNobody (talk) 01:17, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
- That's not what I was talking about, I meant you adding unnecessary spaces in front of your sentences--Elveonora (talk) 12:22, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
Slug Sage Mode
There were three places mentioned where Sage Mode could be learned: the toad mountain, snake cave and Shikkotsu (?) forrest. Chapter 635 confirms that Katsuyu is from Shikkotsu forest. It is therefore most likely Hashirama, like his granddaughter, could summon slugs and mastered Sage Mode under their tutelage.--Reliops (talk) 18:39, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Most likely, yes. Confirmed, no. The truth is, we don't know the nature behind Hashirama's Sage Mode, nor do we know what he has the ability to summon, because its never been stated, shown, or even hinted at. We do not insert speculation into articles, no matter how likely it would seem. Therefore, until confirmed by the manga or a databook, nothing will be added to Hashirama to reflect this. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 18:59, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- First, for the 100th time, there's no such thing as "slug/toad/snake sage mode" just Sage Mode. Second, nowhere it's been mentioned that they teach it in Slug's forest too, it was stated to be just equally famous place. There's no logical reason why should the technique be unique just to the 3 species.--Elveonora (talk) 21:41, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- @Elveonora explain to me one thing. Why the incomplete Jiraya's Sage Mode looked like a frog? Why when gathering natural energy teached by the toads they turn into frog statues if they couldn't control the natural chakra? Why naruto when gathering natural chakra and entering Sage Mode gains frog-like eyes? Do you think that learning with snakes the pupil will turn into frog if couldn't control their way to gather natural energy? Of course there is such thing.

- Slug i agree with you 100%, "Rabbit got me LOL xD", Snake Sage Mode i think is not the right term, but there isn't a better term to define the Sage Mode teached by frogs into Mount Myōboku, the same goes by snake. Dan.Faulkner (talk) 23:02, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- I saw beautiful pictures of Sakura in Sage mode her hair grew long, her body has a figure, and cherry-blossoms sort of came out of her hair. One in color and one in black and white. The true form of Sakura with that mode is that she has become the forces of nature b/c of that cherry-blossoms came out of her hair. B/C of her chakra control, she can mentally control things using her chakra. Someone said that her seal represents the Buddha's of the physical and spiritual energy that she'll use it to have Sage Mode. Though none of it has happen but those pics were pretty (except the one in black and white b/c in that color her eyes are scary to me). I wish those pics I seen will happen but my guess is it won't. Yeah I think Eleveonora is right we just call it Frog Snake and Slug Sage Mode by those names b/c you know its the kind of animal of the Sage Mode their in.Inoyamanaka98 (talk) 02:14, June 20, 2013 (UTC)Inoyamanaka98
Byakugō no In?
Ok, it may sound stupid it may not, i know that everyone asks why didn't Hashirama looks older in Tsunade's photo, and then hit me, may it be Byakugō no In? He could used it like Tsunade use the seal to look always young right? Attention, I am not saying to add Hashirama as a user, but i think that he is very probable to be. What you people think? Dan.Faulkner (talk) 23:38, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- Hashirama doesn't look old because he didn't die old. He died around the first great war after the founding of shinobi villages. Besides, no diamond mark in his head, and I'm certain he'd have loads of chakra. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:17, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Which photo? And no, he isn't a user. For his age, I redid the math again and realized that age of consent in Japan is quite low, so it can't be estimated due to this fact. But if we go by him becoming a father at 18 and his child the same, then he would be 40 in the flashback with Tsunade at the least. So his age is immeasurable, because for all we know, he was a 26+ years old grandfather, so could be about 30 in the Tsunade flashback as well ._. we also don't know if he lived past Tsunade's 4th birthday. His gambling comment suggests that is the way he remembers her, but his comment about her strength doesn't, unless she was a super child.--Elveonora (talk) 11:15, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Hum, Tsunade has a photo with Hashirama i think, and in that flashback he musted be much older then that, 18? god, when he founded Konohagakure how old was he? The timeline is confuse but i think he died much more older then that. Dan.Faulkner (talk) 12:12, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- If you refer to the anime-only flashback with arguably old Mito and Hashirama caressing Tsunade, then yeah, not canon. Other than that, I don't know of any "photo" and we don't know how old he was at x point in time. If we did, then we could easily calculate his age. Again, I originally forgot this is a story written by a Japanese guy, their culture is different from mine or yours. Sex in Japan is legal from 13 upwards, but an adult is a person of age 20 and older. We don't know if his "adventures" with Mito date back to his minor years or if they met after he became head of the clan.--Elveonora (talk) 12:30, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes i refer the anime-only flashback. I think their "adventures" came after he became head of the clan, when the Uzumaki's made a treaty with Konoha, even if Japonese culture is different, we never saw in the anime someone dating for real at 13 years old, saying that i doubt that Hashirama was grandfather at the age of 30, i believe it could be the White Strength Seal, @Omnibender Tsunade's Seal isn't always visible or is?. And yes the photo is canon. Dan.Faulkner (talk) 12:43, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Only time I recall Tsunade not having the seal visible is when she spends most, if not all the chakra in it, which has happened only three times: when she fought against Orochimaru in Part I, when she healed most of Konoha during Pain's Invasion, and after Strength of a Hundred drained her against Madara. Don't think the photo is canon either. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:42, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "What you're gonna do is disguise yourself as an Albanian and then go whack Frankie Garone, an Ancelotti long time capo."
- ―Gerald McReary, to Niko Bellic.
I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle is a mission for Gerald McReary, the brother of Patrick McReary, in Grand Theft Auto IV. Gerald wants Niko Bellic to chase and assassinate a Ancelotti capo named Frank Garone while in disguise as an Albanian thug to create even more trouble between the two gangs. He reveals a dead Albanian stuffed in his fridge under the chicken that he wants Niko to dress as, to look the part. Niko uses the Albanian's PCJ-600 to do the job.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get on the motorbike
- Go to the meeting point
- Take out Frank Garone
- Frank Garone
- Mafia
Find the motorcycle around the corner and hop on. Carefully ride over to Star Junction where Frankie Garone is having a meeting with an Albanian. Frankie has already beaten him up and notices Niko, gets freaked out, and hops on his sports bike in hopes of escaping. Chase him through some side streets and alleyways. Be careful and make sure not to crash. During the chase try to shoot him off the bike, or aim for the tires to slow him down. Your main intention will obviously be to kill him. Whenever the two bikes are close to each other, use the chance to shoot Garone. It's better to shoot Garone than his bike, aim for the back, the back of the neck, or the back of the head. Keep shooting and don't give up. Mainly, don't let him escape and be careful not to fly off the bike. This mission gets easier every time you try, so try and try again. When you kill Frank; you've completed the mission.
If you're patient enough, you can go only as fast as necessary to not lose Frank and concentrate on not crashing.The scripted part of the chase ends as he reaches Leftwood, that means he slows down significantly and is easy to finish off.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
The player is able to take the Red and gold PCJ-600 back to his safehouse as well as Garone's NRG 900.
- Frank Garone - Killed by Niko in the bike chase.
- The mission is named after the famous line said by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
- The name for this mission is currently the longest in the GTA Series.
- If you get thrown off your bike at high speeds and go a long way away from it you will fail the mission for abandoning the bike. This only happens before chasing Frankie.
- After the second cutscene you can get off the bike and get in a car.
- There are two situations that can occur (confirmed on the PC version) if Garone is killed before Esperanto's explosion:
- The Esperanto can be entered, but it won't start, even though it stopped smoking.
- Or, the car will have a glitch, similar to the Swing Glitch. If the player touches the car he will be thrown backward very fast. Most likely, another car will hit the Esperanto, resulting in a large explosion. If you look closely, you can see a Bowling Pin inside.

BoneMan's Daughters by Ted Dekker: Review
Here's a bonus audio review
By Oline H. Cogdill
Mystery Fiction Columnist
BoneMan's Daughters. By Ted Dekker, read by Robert Petkoff. Hachette Audio. Unabridged. 9 CDs, 10 ½ hours. $34.98. In print: Center Street, $24.99, 416 pp.
Ted Dekker certainly is prolific – more than 20 novels since 2000.
Quantity doesn't always translate to quality.
BoneMan's Daughters is his most ambitious as well as his most violent with a plot that piles on the mayhem but neglects to create nuanced characters.
At the heart are two men – one who might be considered a hero and the other who definitely a villain – both of whom are insane.
Ryan Evans is a military intelligence officer whose mind snapped during intense torture during his last tour of Iraq. Now back home, he wants to reconnect with his estranged wife and daughter, both of whom he was able to avoid while in the military.
The other man is a serial killer who preys on young women, seeking a "daughter."
Both men filter the world through a prism of love and hate; they see each person's actions as both betrayal and acceptance.
Imagine the father issues both of these men engender.
When Ryan's daughter, Bethany is kidnapped by the killer, the former military man finds a new mission.
So does Bethany: A self-centered teenager who is alienated from all the adults in her life, Bethany must find an inner strength to survive both these father figures.
Robert Petkoff (Law & Order, Spamalot) lends a wonderfully creepy narration that makes BoneMan's Daughters a little better than it actually is.

April 30, 2016
Congress' nonpartisan budget analyst says raising the federal minimum wage as President Barack Obama and Democrats want would raise earnings for more than 16.5 million people by 2016. But it would also reduce employment by roughly 500,000 workers.
The Congressional Budget Office analysis comes as the Senate prepares to debate a Democratic plan to gradually increase the current $7.25 minimum wage to $10.10 an hour in 2016.
The budget office analysis examined the impact such a plan would have by 2016, when the increase would take full effect.
The analysts said their estimate of employment losses was approximate. They said the actual impact could range from a very slight employment reduction to a loss of 1 million workers.
Democrats say the wage boost would help workers. Republicans have warned it would cost jobs.

Parliamentary efforts to negotiate a solution notwithstanding, it was evident at the end of the first week of January that only one solution was available.
It is to sack all striking and go-slow doctors, put up new terms of service including payment for seeing the doctor and the latter pays a third of the fee to the hospital for assurance of infrastructure and other bills like paying incentives to employees, while salary scales remain the same.
Those who would wish for such a situation would apply, not negotiate over demands for 300 percent hike in salaries and tripling of allowances for out of work consultations, trying to be paid like MPs, which is useless.
This way of doing things was already apparent as the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare was saying that the demand for salary hikes and other amenities would take nearly a quarter of the country's total budget, as it comes to above three trillion shillings per year compared to Sh13trillion budget.
The demands are thus totally grotesque and they have a Boko Haram mentality, that 'either you pay us or people will die,' and indeed they are recouping plenty of the cash they are demanding by doubling charges in private hospitals where they work either in daylight or by moonlight, in which case they have nothing to lose – the doctors and their families. It is a sharp blow to what used to be known as social solidarity, but it's a different issue.
In what may already be the most crippling or effective strike that has ever been put up by doctors in the country, despite that such instances have occurred in the past, two issues occupied the public mind at the beginning of the weak. The first was whether the government was capable of ending the issue 'manu militari' as it had chosen to do, and the second was what chances exist that other cadres would go on strike as well. There was a worry that teachers would soon join, and they are a much wider cadre than doctors, having less harm to the public in comparison with doctors and nurses, but are definitely more effective in mobilization.
The government knows that there aren't many cadres that can imitate doctors in relation to going all out against the government, as doctors have greater opportunities of being hired within and outside the country.
Evidently it is a risky undertaking, to put everything on the table and start combating the government with one's eligibility for employment as the sole effective weapon at hand, but depending on circumstances it could be reached, as it occurred this time. As usual one cites a series of misunderstandings, between doctors and the Permanent Secretary, Ms Blandina Nyoni, the bête noire of Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT) membership.
While there have been frequent misunderstandings between the hospital administration and internship doctors, this time the divide was more intense, and soon encompassed to include doctors employed in government hospitals.
How far the government could go about enforcing a return to work operation was unclear, or what that meant for the quality of medical care that would be rendered thereafter – in like manner as uncertainty clouded stop gap services being provided by medical personnel from the armed forces.
In a way the government felt there was little else it could so as it could not just implement the diktat of the doctors and open doors for massive demands from other cadres, so it had to start counting the bodies, and the dismissed.
What is not being said too loudly in the discussion concerning the matter is its provenance, that there is without doubt a series of demands by medical doctors that have been lying ministerial desks for ten years, like improving allowances when called out of duty time.
But there are circumstances which helped to radicalise those demands and especially start paying much less attention to procrastination in the sense of pleading that budgets are tight in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, not just for allowances but working conditions.
It was being said that often a doctor would be assigned to theatre and then materials would be missing, though it is unclear if doctors have often assisted patients by having an own stock of gloves or methylated spirit if it comes to that, though it is a bit excessive to task doctors with that kind of gesture, routinely.
Listening to what was being picked from doctors from time to time, including placards in one or other gathering, one element was that it is MPs' allowances hike which pushed them to the brink, seeing that they are being cheated. If the government can afford raising allowances by about Sh.130,000 for each MP on a daily basis on top of what they are already obtaining, it means there is plenty of cash somewhere that is ready to be used for the purpose of raising salaries and allowances.
Obviously it is a logical fallacy to say that if a person has Sh.1,000 to give to a beggar, than such a person has plenty of such money to give to all beggars at least along that street, for it sufficient for any of them to hear of the 'donation' and say, me too. But while for the beggars it would be a bit of illusion, in the doctors' case it is one of anger, learning a secret.
The point hence is that the doctors' strike nationwide has been caused not by existing grievances of doctors (in the past we used to be told that is an objective condition) but were galvanized by the huge revision of daily allowances for MPs (a subjective condition).
In other words if left with objective conditions alone, the usual modes of civic contentions continue, for instance who has auxiliary practice at a well paying private hospital, or how far extortion of patients in wards or specialized treatment, directing them to private clinics can help doctors augment earnings, etc.
But when such an event as a gargantuan allowances hike surfaces, it provides the glue necessary to tie them together – and also to defy the government in the face of public opinion as despite everything, there was still greater sympathy for the doctors than the government, privately.
In that case the government brought the issues to a hilt when it permitted those allowances and still claims that it has no money to pay doctors and place the necessary equipment in hospital wards and theatres.
In part this reflects long term structural problems in public payments problems, despite plenty of World Bank projects and even 'satisfactory' reviews of public finance management reform, in the May 2010 report for the Country Assistance Strategy. It is a situation where various professional cadres could lay down tools and ask MPs to go and pick them, as they are paid so well they should be patriotic to do whatever task is at hand.
Examining it by a different angle, one finds that the governmen wasn't unaware of possible repercussions of the MPs allowances massive hike, but there was little it could do. MPs have been demanding hikes by comparing their pay with those of our neighbours in the EAC and it is uncertain if their pay comes anywhere near packages for MPs in Kenya.
The latter have tended to have inflated pay packages and an allergy about paying taxes (they add extra allowances to cover the tax liability vis a vis an agreed figure), while in Uganda a few newspapers were astonished to see a demand for a tenfold salary hike by the Chief Justice, to move from what seems to be the equivalent of Sh3.5m at present to Sh35m, probably comparing with the Kenyan pay package.
When the government is weak, it can't resist pressures of MPs, for they can become radicalized. There is a bit of that element in the decision to hike allowances of MPs, noting especially the fact that the move came a few weeks after a much hyped direct intervention by ex-premier Edward Lowassa in the ruling party's policy making National Executive Committee (NEC).
He said there was nothing he did which the president did not know aforehand, and there were measures he wanted to take but the president stopped him because he had obtained different advice from (a committee of) permanent secretaries. In other words Lowassa 'shedded' the Richmond contract burden and placed it squarely on the head of state, implying that he had resigned only as act of goodwill and respecting the office of the president, but if his gesture is ignored, he could spill the beans.
That is where the president stands, and if MPs for some reason become radicalized and go back to the Richmond file, apart from Kagoda Agriculture Ltd, EPA cases etc, the going could become a bit rougher for JK.
It is thus a sort of blackmail politics by MPs, that they get allowances and leave the president in peace, or if they are frustrated, they are also sure to wreck the political system, the horse trading the president opted to skip.

The Green Sabre
this wiki
- "Damn Smoke! C.R.A.S.H. makin' you sell us out?!"
- ― Carl Johnson
The Green Sabre is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sweet from his home in Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.
The three feuding families of the Grove Street Families have come together to due to Carl's efforts and Sweet decides to finally get back at the Ballas. Sweet also makes good with Carl and calls him his running dog. He then orders everyone to get heated, and meet him under the Mulholland Intersection.
Carl, however, is side-tracked on the way by a call from Cesar Vialpando, who has some important news for him. At first, CJ explains he is too busy to meet but Cesar is insistent, so Carl heads to the meeting place under the freeway north of Verdant Bluffs to meet Cesar, who is inside a Bravura with tinted windows. Cesar and CJ look ahead, as some Ballas exit a garage, followed by Ryder and Big Smoke, and finally Officer Frank Tenpenny. Officer Pulaski then reverses a car out of the garage, revealing the same green Sabre that was used in the drive-by in Grove Street to kill CJ's mother.
Suddenly, CJ remembers about Sweet. Carl realizes that Sweet and the rest of the Grove Street Families are walking into a trap. But first, he orders Cesar to get Kendl to a safe place. CJ races over to the underside of the Mulholland Intersection before Sweet and the gangstas are killed.
Upon arriving, Carl sees a deadly shootout taking place. CJ sees that his brother has taken a hit. Out of loyalty, CJ stays with his brother to hold off the Ballas hordes. Numerous Ballas members will come and shoot at Carl and the rest of the gang. Carl holds them off until the police arrive and Carl surrenders.
Once the cops arrive, Sweet is taken into a prison hospital, while Carl leaves with C.R.A.S.H. and heads for the countryside. Tenpenny explains what happened and what will happen. From now on, Carl will do what he wants him to do. His first task is to eliminate a former cop.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to where Cesar is waiting under the freeway
- Get to the ambush before your brother is killed
- Hold off the Ballas until the police arrive
- Use your best weapons; there is no point in saving ammo, as C.R.A.S.H. will take all of Carl's weapons before leaving him in the countryside.
After this mission the talk radio WCTR reports the events
- On WCTR, Richard Burns makes a news report on the gang war between the Grove Street Families and the Ballas that happened under the intersection saying many senior Grove Street Families and Ballas gang members were killed, while others were incarcerated.
- It is also reported that the bridges connecting Red County and Flint County are finally reopen with many delays following the deadly earthquake that happened a few months ago. The governor has congratulated himself for the rebuilding of the bridges (even though he didn't help with any of the rebuilding of the bridges and even refused to give aid to rebuild them too).
There is no monetary reward for this mission, but the Badlands mission is unlocked. After the end mission cinematic, the player's weapons will be stripped. The player may now buy any safehouse in the countryside (to be specific, Red County, Whetstone and Flint County), and the player may now save at the Angel Pine Save Point. Also, the player can now traverse the Whetstone and Flint County countryside and San Fierro without any police attention (however, safehouses are not yet available for purchase in San Fierro).
Contrary to Tenpenny's comments after letting Carl off in Angel Pine, there is no prohibition on returning to Los Santos, or even the Johnson safehouse, although there is no longer Grove Street Families presence on Grove Street, and the cash point in front of the Johnson house no longer functions. All other Los Santos-based activities, including dating Denise Robinson, are still available (although Denise will not call Carl, and his progress with her will not be affected from not dating her, as long as Carl is not in Los Santos). The Roboi's Food Mart asset also still functions, if Carl has completed the first courier mission.
- The song that is playing inside Sweet's house is "Fuck wit Dre Day" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, a song that also can be heard on Radio Los Santos.
- During the opening cutscene, a gang member that resembles the late professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero can be seen.
- The Sabre is green, even though it is used by the Ballas, whose color is purple. However, this was likely to avoid arousing suspicion in Ganton during the drive-by.
- For some reason, despite the bridges between Los Santos/Red County and San Fierro/Flint County now being opened, NPC vehicles will not cross them until after the all the bridges in the state are opened after Yay-Ka-Boom-Boom.
- After you proceed to the point where Sweet and the gang is being pinned down, no NPC vehicles aside from gang vehicles and police cars will spawn.
- The color of the Sabre is not accessible via Pay 'N' Spray, indicating it is only used for mission purposes. However, the player can still spray the Sabre with the same color at Transfenders.
- If you "accidentally" kill Sweet just before reaching the checkpoint with your car, he will not appear in the cinematic, though the mission continues. And you'll see him dead during the whole mission.
- Pulaski's mouth doesn't move when he said "We need you to do a favor for us."
- The camera Pulaski hands to Carl in the final cutscene is a different model to the one obtainable in the game.
- After this mission, no more Families(Grove or otherwise) or Aztecas will spawn. This will last all the way up until the mission Home Coming.
- During or after this mission, the player is not allowed to recruit any GSF members. Even after this mission is over, if the player uses "gang control" cheat, the GSF members will still decline the player recruit unless the player uses the cheat "everybody can be recruited" or complete Home Coming.
- The Mission Completed screen will not appear.

WE ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD to SEEING PRIEST -- FOR ALL the WRONG REASONS, OF COURSE!
ITS TV ADS (MANY of WHICH END w/a CHARACTER HAVING HIS HEAD GOBBLED OFF by a GOBLIN JUST AFTER HE's SAID: "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT's COMING!") ARE AMONG the MOST AMUSING of 2011. FACTOR IN THAT IT CO-STARS the PRETTY BOY BARTENDER from 2010 RAZZIE NEAR-MISS BURLESQUE (SEE FOTO BELOW) AS a VAMPIRE HUNTER and BARON VON TRAPP from THE SOUND of MUSIC AS an EVIL HIGH PRIEST, THAT IT WAS "POST-CONVERTED" to 3-D, and THAT ONE of ITS POSTERS ACCIDENTALLY ADMITS IT WAS SUPPOSED to BE RELEASED LAST YEAR...and YOU'VE GOT WHAT LOOKS LIKE a BIG, JUICY CONTENDER.
WHILE ANY AUDIENCE FOOLISH ENOUGH to PAY FIRST-RUN PRICES to SEE THIS MAY ALSO BE FOOLISH ENOUGH to ACTUALLY FIND IT SCARY, WE FULLY EXPECT to FIND OURSELVES SCREAMING WHILE WATCHING IT...WITH the KIND of DERISIVE LAUGHTER ONLY a RAZZIE MEMBER CAN CONJURE UP!

ATLANTA -- Now that Christmas gifts have been opened, and decisions made on what will be kept and what will be returned, it's time now to go through the house and figure out what will stay and what will go to charity.
A key is to make your donations by next Monday to get a tax deduction on this year's income tax.
A must is dealing with a reputable and known non-profit charity, recognized by the IRS.
MORE | Donation resource page
Getting that tax break is a motivation but not the only one.
"We come over with stuff we don't need, and we hope other people can use it. We do it before the end of the year...it comes off our tax return, "said Chip Franzoni, a donor to Goodwill of North Georgia.
When it comes to tax breaks, Jennifer Howard says, "It doesn't hurt, but it's nice to know that my stuff is used by somebody who probably needs it or would like to use it."
Best things to donate?
Shoes, books, CD's and DVDs, cell phones, computers and working kitchen appliances.
But Donald Woods of the Salvation Army says they are mainly looking for clothing.
"One of our greatest needs right now is clothing. We can use the furniture, we take cars, we take just about anything you want to get rid of, but mainly it's the clothing," he said.
Goodwill of North Georgia reminds donors to be careful before dropping things off.
"Check your pockets. Check the back pocket of your favorite jeans that you are intending to donate. Check luggage. Check purses. Make sure you clear all of those things out before you donate them," said Elaine Armstrong of Goodwill.
The IRS reminds donors to get receipts or have bank records to back up what you plan to deduct.

Vol State Student Magazine "The Pioneer" Wins Top Award
Submitted on April 15, 2011 at 12:19 PM
The Pioneer, Volunteer State Community College's student magazine, has been named the 2010 Best Student Magazine in the Society of Professional Journalists' Region 12 Mark of Excellence awards competition. The region is composed of colleges and universities in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The fall 2010 issue of The Pioneer was awarded the honor in the two-year college division.
This is the fourth time in the magazine's eight-year history that it has been honored by the SPJ. The previous three awards were second place finishes in 2004, 2006, 2007, behind Louisiana State University, before SPJ created two- and four-year college divisions. The SPJ Mark of Excellence Awards were presented Saturday, March 26, at the Region 12 Conference, this year on the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville.
"This award is an honor for The Pioneer and its staff," said Samantha Hearn, editor of the winning issue. "Everyone worked hard, and it paid off."
The magazine featured articles on diversity, travel, foreign language, day trips, and technology. In addition to Hearn, the staff of the winning issue was assistant editor Brittany King, Leslie Odom, Josh Deardorff, Tim Sanders, Britlee Fletcher, Matt Phillips, and Kayla Bender.
"The students did a good job creating a magazine that reflected topics that are of interest to Vol State and its students," said Clay Scott, faculty adviser of The Pioneer. "The articles, photographs and design of this issue were well done."
The Pioneer is produced by students during the spring and fall semesters. The magazine is a 32-page full-color, general interest magazine composed of articles and photographs relating to Vol State and its students. The entire magazine, from the conception of story ideas to design, is done by students. Students may participate in creation of the magazine by either taking the class (Communication 293P) or as a freelance writer or photographer.
For more information about The Pioneer or the Journalism program at Vol State, contact Clay Scott at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Starbucks Becomes Caffeine-Fueled IBM With Teavana Buy
TheStreet) -- In a continued expansion of its in-store food and drinks products, Starbucks (SBUX - Get Report) is buying Teavana (TEA), a tea-inspired drinks chain, for $15.50 a share, in an all cash deal that values the company at $620 million. The move follows Starbucks previous acquisitions of Evolution Fresh, a fruit juices specialist, and La Boulange, a bakery chain - and further proves chief executive Howard Schultz's commitment to grow the world's leading coffee chain through a mix of new store openings, product launches and acquisitions.Starbucks also said it considers Teavana to be a third deal, in a string of acquisitions that meets the company's "Blueprint for Growth," a growth strategy that resembles the one employed by IT services giant IBM (IBM - Get Report). Heading into 2013, CEO Schultz will now need to prove he can deliver on IBM-like profit growth, as Teavana and other recent acquisitions take center stage in the earnings outlook for the Seattle-based brewer. Recent earnings strength signals Starbucks is finding increasing success in growing profit margins. Starbucks will also need to jolt growth at Teavana, after the company's same store sales growth slowed in recent quarters, putting shares well below their Aug. 2011 initial public offering price. As with previous acquisitions, Starbucks indicated it intends to weave Teavana's products and merchandising into Starbucks existing stores, while also expanding the tea-makers branded retail outlets. CEO Schultz also indicated Teavana will be a strong complement to Starbucks Tazo tea brand. "This complements our existing Tazo brand and gives us the unique opportunity to create a two-tiered market position," Schultz said, in a statement announcing the deal. "Powered by Starbucks existing infrastructure, Starbucks plans to continue to grow and extend Teavana's already-successful 300 mall-based stores as well as add a high-profile neighborhood store concept that will accelerate Teavana's domestic and global footprint," the company added in a press release. According to Starbucks calculations, Teavana is expected to add 1 cent to the company's fiscal 2013 earnings. Roughly 70% of Teavana's shareholders have approved the merger 'by written consent,' notes Starbucks of the deal, which it expects to close by year-end. In Wednesday trading, Starbucks shares fell nearly 3% to $48.84, while Teavana's shares surged over 50% to $15.45, just below Starbucks cash offer. In spite of Wednesday stock gains, Teavana shares are off nearly 20% in 2012, while Starbucks has gained over 6% year to-date.NEW YORK (

Meeting Date: January 10, 2011
From: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance for Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Walling West
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to the City's adopted Growth Management Plan.
The project site is approximately 2.6 acres. The property is generally located on the south side of Benton Street, east of McCormick Street and south of Central Florida Freezer. The project site is ten (10) or less acres and is, therefore, considered a small-scale comprehensive land use plan amendment. The City will notify the Florida Department of Community Affairs of the plan amendment and the Department will review the project site area to confirm that it is ten (10) acres or less. At that time, the Department will determine that it is a local issue and not subject to Department review.
Currently, the property is undeveloped. The surrounding Future Land Use Map designations around the subject property are all compatible with the proposed future land use designation. The proposed land use designation change from Estate Residential to Industrial is also consistent with the City's adopted Growth Management Plan and would allow the use of the property for industrial uses.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on November 18, 2010 and by a vote of 7 to 0, recommended approval.
1. Approve the requested small scale comprehensive plan amendment to Industrial.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

News and Recent Developments
- December 2010: Carbon offset foundation partners with solar cooking project in Madagascar. The Swiss non-profit foundation, MyClimate, is a leader when it comes to voluntary carbon offsetting measures. They have recently partnered with Association pour le Développement de l'Energie Solaire (ADES), another Swiss non-profit, that manufactures and distributes solar cookers in Madagascar. The CO2 offsetting mechanism offered by MyClimate will enable the expansion of the initial ADES project, and growth into other provinces of Madagascar. Their projection over the next seven years, is to distribute up to 44,000 solar cookers and 8,600 energy-efficient supplementary cookers to realize a reduction of up to 190,000 tons of CO2.
- July 2009: Ulrich Oehler's pioneering work in the 1980s inspired a wave of Swiss solar cooking promoters. For many years, Oehler's house in Basel even served as the country's main solar cooker information center, maintained by the ULOG group. From 1997 to 2007, the Centre Neuchâtelois de Cuisine Solaire (CNCS) in the small town of Neuchâtel served as the country's information hub. Visitors could see a variety of solar cooker models or ask questions of the centre's leader, Michael Götz. In addition to this resource, ULOG group and GloboSol maintain a travelling solar crêperie in which they prepare solar pancakes for music festivals and ecology fairs throughout Switzerland. 2008 was a year of changes and new opportunities. The information center moved to a prominent location in the international city of Geneva. Götz is thrilled with the location. "Finally we have a room with a shop-window, only a few steps from Geneva's train station!" Alain Cassani, Annick Steiner, and Yves Ronchetti of the association SOLEMYO manage the shop and information center, conduct solar cooker construction trainings, and schedule solar crêperie events, while Götz, operating as ExSol, works on consulting, education, technical development, and other projects.
