Management Methods: Physical Methods

Management methods that use manual or mechanical means to remove, kill, injure, or alter growing conditions for unwanted plants are termed physical methods. Such methods are relatively expensive and labor intensive, and may need to be used repeatedly or in combination with other management methods. However, for socially sensitive sites and sites with high ecological value, highly selective physical methods may be desirable because of their minimal environmental impact.
The physical methods that may be applied to invasive plants in terrestrial and aquatic environments are many and varied. They vary in the type of injury or stress they inflict, their selectivity and potential for nontarget impacts, and the procedures, skills, equipment, labor, and funds they require.
In this module, you will become familiar with
- physical methods that are used for invasive plant management
- impacts of physical methods on invasive plants and the environment
- principles and tactics for managing invasive plants with physical methods
- examples of how physical methods can be integrated into invasive plant management
Ever since people began to prefer certain assemblages of vegetation over others, they have manipulated plants in the environment. Vegetation management in its earliest form used simple physical methods—removing some plants and adding or sustaining others.
Over time, the physical methods and tools used in agriculture—that is, in growing crops and removing unwanted plants—were adapted for other situations, such as gardens, pastures, roadsides, and wildlands.

Physical methods typically employ simple, readily available tools and equipment. However, the effectiveness, impacts, and expense of physical methods can vary greatly depending on the type of method used and the characteristics of the infestation.
Some physical methods can be quite labor intensive and therefore expensive, but these usually have low environmental impact and are therefore appropriate for small, localized infestations or infestations in ecologically or socially sensitive areas. Physical methods that can be applied more easily over larger areas, may have more significant nontarget effects.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty PC
- Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment
- Release Date: Jul 27, 2010
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Dec 14, 2010For anyone else interested in or already on board with RTS games, Starcraft II isn't just an amazing, it's required reading.
StarCraft 2 didn't change the formula because it didn't need to. This isn't just a fresh coat of paint on StarCraft, it is StarCraft, right down to its pixelated bones. It's proof that games don't have to be disposable, that some games are so creative and balanced and fun that they don't go out of style or disappear over the years. Some games, it turns out, really are timeless.
A triumphant return to the StarCraft universe, Wings of Liberty offers up old-school RTS goodness in one of the most solid RTS titles in years.
Finally, the eagerly awaited sequel to the original bestseller Starcraft is here. While Wings of Liberty will not break the mold in the world of real-time strategy gaming, it surely stands out as the best package to be found in this genre. For the competitors that will try to seize it in the future, Starcraft 2 is - simply put - the new benchmark for years to come.
StarCraft II expertly walks the line between remaining faithful to its design legacy and evolving everything about itself that can evolve without fundamentally changing what the game is. I'm so enamored with it that this review is now officially getting in the way of playing more of it.
An amazingly well-crafted strategy experience. Not a lot of chances were taken, but Blizzard knows what works, and it shows. Addiction in a package and sublime strategy.
StarCraft II is a shot in the arm for the RTS genre, filling a void that's been left dormant for far too long - about 12 years, actually.
This is a sublimely engineered game with a simple, elegant core design and all of the rough edges ground away.
StarCraft II, as expected, is an evolution rather than a revolution of the original. True to its roots, the game doesn't lose itself by trying to reinvent a formula that has proven itself (and still is, actually). StarCraft II shines thanks to a flawless production, fantastic gameplay with loads of of little additions and improvements, and an overhaul of its multiplayer side. With a very demanding high-level gameplay but still very accessible to newbies thanks to its casual mode and matchmaking feature, the latest Blizzard baby is another demonstration of the old saying: old friends are the best. Can't wait for the follow-up!
StarCraft II is a wonderful game, both as a story-telling experience and a strategically deep and tactically challenging game. The single-player campaign is deeply satisfying to complete.
While it manages to pull off pathos, it's also filled with laugh-out-loud jokes, including the traditional ludicrous dialogue from your units.
In the end StarCraft II didn't go changing on us in the fundamentals, and that's perhaps the greatest feature Blizzard could ever have included. What works, works and StarCraft nailed it back in 1998 and StarCraft II: Wings if Liberty nails it here and now in 2010.
The wait was worth it. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty delivers on all fronts with unique singleplayer missions, a gripping story for the campaign and excellent multiplayer. Prepare yourself for the definitive RTS of the decade. StarCraft II is the new standard and will cast a shadow over all RTS titles that follow for quite some time.
This is how sequels should be made and if you're a fan of this gaming genre, you definitely need to add this to your collection now! Brilliant!
I am however completely enthralled with the game.
The amount of polish, dedication, and heart put into this game by Blizzard shows why they are one of the best developers out there today. No matter who you are, if you consider yourself a gamer, you need to play StarCraft 2.
An impressive masterpiece of technology, refined gameplay and art design.
Bang for buck? Check. Killer gameplay? Check. Loads of options? Check. Story, sound, presentation? All awesome. It even has a "casual" difficulty level. What's not to like? Screw 2010 - StarCraft II is the best RTS game released in YEARS and one of the best games on PC full stop. If you like gaming at all, you owe it to yourself to check this out. The ultimate RTS has arrived.
Flawlessly executed masterpiece that stays firmly true to the original old school gameplay that makes Starcraft so good. The best RTS of the decade and shows that Blizzard still has the touch with finely crafted gameplay and unmatched quality of presentation.
Dec 19, 2010Classic RTS gameplay that's as good as it gets.
Blizzard was facing a monumental challenge when it came to releasing a sequel for the genre-defining Starcraft, and they have answered that challenge magnificently.
This is the perfect sequel. It reaches a hand out to those who didn't enjoy the first game, while keeping its fiercely loyal fans happy.
Packed with a never-ending stream of variety across 30 single-player missions, StarCraft II certainly ticks all the boxes for those looking to ease themselves into the action against an A.I. opponent.
After twelve years StarCraft still dominates the RTS genre, giving players a campaign full of contents and perfectly paced in addition to a virtually endless, involving multiplayer that will entertain till the release of the second chapter.
Haters will keep talking about "Starcraft HD" but what we have here is a glorious return, a modern, well balanced RTS, the second chapter of an epic saga. Newbies should practice a lot but then they'll be be part of the most complete and balanced multiplayer experience for an RTS.
PC Zone UKJan 18, 2011"Quotation Forthcoming"
Oct 21, 2010StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a traditional real-time strategy which ticks all the right boxes. The deadly and fast thinking A.I will prove to be a challenge to even the most seasoned strategy gamer, whilst the ability to make decision and the extensive multiplayer support will keep you playing for a long time to come.
The company's philosophy-demonstrated again with StarCraft II-is that innovation and experimentation are less important than taking what's already successful and bringing it to near perfection.
Blizzard has a major hit on their hands with Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty and it's easy to tell that over a decade of blood, sweat, and tears have been poured into making it.
If judged solely on its failure to resolve its story, Wings of Liberty could have been a disappointment. But with a production so carefully thought out, masterfully designed, and flawlessly executed, it's impossible to come away from the game with a negative impression. Starcraft II is the sequel that we've been waiting for.
Traditional and fresh in all the right ways, this strategy sequel is an absolute joy for veterans and newcomers alike.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the definitive RTS experience that bends the genre to its will, and is one of the best PC exclusive titles to be released in years.
After my experience with StarCraft II over the last week or so, I can easily say that the sequel was worth the wait. There is more than enough enjoyment to be had on the multiplayer and the potential long-term single player and mod scene.
The best thing about it is the presentation, though; only Blizzard can make an RTS feel like an epic adventure.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is exactly what we've come to expect from Blizzard: A brilliant sequel from one of the most beloved RTS titles of all time and probably, one of the best PC exclusive titles to be released in years.
Blizzard have stuck to what they know with this sequel to one of the most beloved RTS titles of all time. Don't expect any revolutionary twists to the classic gameplay - although what is included is imbued with the kind of perfection you've come to expect from one of the best developers in the world.
AceGamezStarcraft 2 may feel a bit too familiar, given the accepted trend for sequels to reinvent themselves with every iteration but it comes across more as a tried and tested success with enough fresh nuances to keep old school fans happy and attract many more players looking for a new challenge.
Starcraft 2 takes its predecessor and brings it to the next level. Blizzard decided to stick to the original gameplay and improve it, creating an extremely fun and addictive experience. This game has a fantastic singleplayer campaign with a great story, lots of added achievements and challenges to complete and an awesome competitive multiplayer component. It is, simply put, one of the best PC games in years.
Starcraft 2 is the best RTS in years. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but pushes it to new heights due to the dense atmosphere, great balancing and diverse missions. Only one question remains: How long will we have to wait this time, Blizzard?
Somehow, Blizzard has managed to make StarCraft II feel instantly familiar, while still keeping the entire game feeling fresh and new. The single-player is ridiculously fun, the multiplayer is as addictive as hell, and virtually every new mechanic Blizzard has introduced has helped to improve the game.
I am stunned. The long time waiting between "StarCraft" and StarCraft II has not been wasted. Flawless gameplay, great graphics and a bombastic atmosphere result in one of the best real-time strategy games in the world.
Starcraft II has certainly been long overdue, but the immense waiting has really paid off. Blizzard have another jewel to add to their crown, and it's easy to see why. By not veering too far away from the original formula, Blizzard haven't at all 'played it safe' – they've recognized a gaming model that works and then given it a much needed 21st century polish.
The title is simply more of the same, but it's been polished to the point that it would be difficult to make it any more modern without losing the franchise's strong core. It might be off-putting that the campaign only centers around one race, but in spite of that, the game is a surprisingly full experience.
PC FormatDec 24, 2010Perfectly balanced multiplayer with old school elements intact, and rich and dynamic single player campaigns. [Issue#244, p.102]
A gloriously well crafted campaign welded to a near Olympic competitive experience. StarCraft II is practically essential.
Ultimately, it's a price worth paying. As one of the most anticipated games of all time, Blizzard had a great deal on its shoulders with this. We're pleased to say it doesn't disappoint.
Starcraft II is far from being the most ambitious or original RTS game this decade (or even of the last five years), but it's tough to deny that it's probably the most accessible and polished - and the online community and mod-making features will help it to be the most long-lasting.
Speaking about SC2: Wings of Liberty, the biggest complaint that come to my mind is that I've got to wait for the other two episodes. It might not revolutionize the genre, but it doesn't allow itself any shortcomings either. The campaign is exciting, the cutscenes are awesome and the multiplayer is in a league of its own.
I doubt it will completely repopularize the genre as we once knew it, since the world has moved on in the past decade or so. But StarCraft 2 does have mainstream gamers talking about build orders and micromanagement, which is honestly something I never thought I would hear again. Just in that, I consider StarCraft 2 a minor miracle.
Jan 18, 2011If you are into real time strategy in any form, it's hard to ignore Starcraft II.
Though I finished the game in less than a week, it was the first game in long time that I couldn't get out of my head when I wasn't playing it, and didn't move from my chair when I was playing it. Simply fantastic.
By building off the foundations and bolstering the series with memorable missions, an incredible story, and awe-inspiring visuals, Blizzard has assured StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty's status as one of the best RTS games ever created.
This is a Triple-A game, but it's also a difficult and stubbornly old-fashioned one that may be great unto itself, but does nothing really to reinvent the genre it now dominates.
PC PowerPlayDrink the kool-aid and go to a happy place. [Oct 2010, p.56]
StarCraft II can be considered a refined version of its parent: so, despite the fact that perfection has been reached once again, we admit we expected a little bit more of innovation after 12 years waiting for this sequel. Anyway, it's a "must buy" for every RTS fan.
StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is as good as expected, but you'll need to be patient with it. The game takes some time to get going and behind all the upgraded technologies it's still the same StarCraft we've been knowing for 12 years. It's the best real-time strategy game of the last years and while not perfect, StarCraft 2 is a real masterpiece of PC gaming and even better as a multi-player game.
Given its lineage, it should hardly be surprising to discover that Blizzard has once again demonstrated such a keen sense of balance: with Wings Of Liberty, it offers established players a welcome return to familiar battlegrounds, while providing intrigued bystanders with their best chance yet of engaging with a bewildering, brilliant and punishing genre.
StarCraft 2 doesn't really do anything to grow the RTS as an actual game - much of what SC2 does better is in the area of matchmaking and social networking, which betters the player experience. The gameplay is very similar, with most changes existing simply to meet current RTS standards.
It has its faults, yes, but Wings of Liberty will certainly be "THE game" for some time to come.
And, more to the point, because millions will thoroughly enjoy StarCraft II regardless, thanks to a dense, thrilling, relentlessly clever and class-leading campaign adventure that takes this RTS to the masses in spite of itself. It might be less than half this sumptuous package, but it's a lot more game than almost anything else.
Starcraft 2 is a stunning example of a developer who really knows their thing. It doesn't attempt anything too bold, but accomplishes everything it does with absolute skill and panache. 12 years may seem like a long time to wait for a sequel that stays very close to the original format, but it's hard to think of another game that comes together quite as well as Starcraft 2.
An excellent game that you can consider the chess of the 21st century.
Sure, you might miss playing as Zerg and it does have a somewhat old feeling to it. But nevertheless, this is an extremely good strategy game that gives the fans exactly what they've been waiting for since the original Starcraft was released 12 years ago.
The lack of innovation is a shame, but the attention to detail and superb multiplayer is beyond criticism.
LEVEL (Czech Republic)In strict numbers: 60 euros for a 15–20 hours single-player experience plus months or years of endless fun in multi-player is an unbeatable price/value ratio. [Issue#195]
Much like the original, it will be played for years to come. And that's why it lives up to all the anticipation.
StarCraft II proves that old game mechanics can still work if done right. The game is fun to play in singleplayer, but its true excellence is stated in the best realtime strategy multiplayer yet to date. It´s an instant classic which will be played in many years to come.
Starcraft II not only picks up the essential features that made the first game of the franchise a success as joins them with high production values that transmit a very strong cinematographic component to the whole experience.
With a great story, memorable characters and outstanding cutscenes the single player campaign easily overcomes most of its very few shortcomings. And the multiplayer mode is exactly what we've come to expect from Blizzard: it is fast, unforgiving and a hell of a lot of fun.
Those who expected some kind of a revolution in the StarCraft gameplay with this sequel will probably be disappointed, but the argument doesn't stand for long in front of this tour de force, making StarCraft II the new reference of RTS on PC, and certainly for a long time.
Working alongside a terrific soundtrack, some very cool voice acting, and a custom map building tool, the parts of Starcraft II that make it an enjoyable and addictive ride leave little to be desired.
It's not a step forward for the genre, exactly, but StarCraft II is still one of the most polished, finely crafted and well presented real-time strategy games available.
Wings of Liberty is one of those games PC-gamers have been waiting a long time for. The huge single-player and incredibly balanced multiplayer make for a very complete package. Here's to another twelve years of Starcraft, even if you're not a huge fan of RTS-games (yet).
Bilzzard offers us an engrossing and well crafted single player campaign combined with a multiplayer mode crafted to perfection in StarCraft II. You won't find any other real time strategy game that comes close to this level of craftsmanship. Add to this meaty options for content creation and what you get is a game well worth the long wait.
games(TM)Engrossing. [Issue#100, p.128]
Blizzard's remarkable gift for story-telling is now embodied in yet another game. For this very reason, there are probably few people out there who won't be lured by the narrative, marvelously animated cut-scenes, stunning art direction worthy of any preceding achievement from Blizzard, in addition to the carefully crafted characters.
So StarCraft 2 is in essence StarCraft 1 with a new shiny coat of paint on it.
Starcraft may be good, but there's a big, nagging complaint I have: Starcraft 2 is Starcraft 1 with prettier graphics but fewer features.
The multiplayer is so smooth, so challenging, and so much plain-old-fun that I can only think of one RTS I ever played that is outright better. The single-player is weaker, in many ways, than that of other RTS titles -- but hey, you don't have to play it, after all. And so, the line you've all been waiting for: Yes, Blizzard has indeed done it again.
StarCraft II is not ground-breaking. It will not have the same lasting impact on gaming that its predecessor did. There's no way it ever could. It will, however, be remembered as a worthy sequel to one of the all-time greats.
If development of multiple bases, careful upgrades planning and intricate micromanagement make your blood boil, you will embrace StarCraft 2. Had it been released 7 years ago, we would have wholeheartedly recommended it to anyone even remotely interested in the RTS genre. But that era is gone now. Today, StarCraft 2 is just a remedy for nostalgia.
Don't get me wrong. Starcraft II is a fine game. It's just not great.

Beer Man is a weekly profile of beers from across the country and around the world.
This week: The Reverend
Avery Brewing Co., Boulder, Colo.
Avery has been a mainstay of the Colorado brewing scene since 1993, offering beers such as Old Jubilation Ale, Salvation, The Beast, Out of Bounds Stout and many others.
In 2011, it had to stop distribution to about 15 states, including my own, because regional demand was so high. Since I bought this in Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, it seems they have increased production and can now keep up with demand.
The Reverend is a Belgian-style quadrupel ale that stays true to the style without any gimmicks such as extreme alcohol content or inappropriate hops or malts. It's as fine a quadruple as you will find.
The amber ale produced an off-white head during the pour with lacing quickly sticking to the glass, and complex fruity and bready aromas appearing.
The fruit flavor of the beer is exceptional — a bit of pear, raisin, cherry and especially black currant. One of the magic qualities of beer is that the combination of certain malts and yeasts can produce these aromas and flavors without actually having to use fruit.
Black currant fruit has a flavor similar to black raspberries, but is very tart. Like cherries and raspberries, it is versatile and its flavor nicely complements malt. Much of this flavor is due to the use of Belgian yeast strains that interact with Belgian Special B malt, one of the The Reverend's ingredients.
It is a specialty roasted caramel malt that adds dark fruit notes and a richer, fuller body to beers. Although its main use is in darker Belgian styles, I have also enjoyed its use in my homebrewed stouts, porters, brown ales and, especially, Scottish-style ales.
However, fruit is not the only aspect of The Reverend's flavor profile. That breadiness from the aroma is present, as well as caramel, clove, pepper and molasses. The sweetness is enough to bring out the flavors and temper the high 10% ABV, the carbonation is low medium, and the mouth feel is full and creamy. Hop flavor and bitterness is minimal.
Many Belgian quadrupels lean more toward a raisin-date fruit profile; I like the difference that The Reverend provides. It is available year round in 22-ounce bottles in about 27 states; Avery's Beer Finder link is here.
Many beers are available only regionally. Check the brewer's website, which often contains information on product availability. Contact Todd Haefer at email@example.com. To read previous Beer Man columns Click here.

The sharing economy: How over-regulation could destroy an economic revolution
The sharing economy describes a rise of new business models ('platforms') that uproot traditional markets, break down industry categories, and maximise the use of scarce resources. The best known services are the ridesharing system Uber and the accommodation service Airbnb. However, the sharing economy extends much further into finance, home tools, investment, and everyday tasks.
This paper recommends new approaches to regulatory design that would encourage the growth of the sharing economy.

3 In Pa. Selected As Rhodes Scholars
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Among the Rhodes Scholar selections announced Sunday were a recent western Pennsylvania university graduate hoping to study medical anthropology, a Bryn Mawr student interested in political theory and an Air Force Academy senior from outside Philadelphia aiming to study global governance and diplomacy.
"I'm really pretty ecstatic and trying to take this all in," said Cory Rodgers, 22, of Somerset, Pa. "It was really a surprise."
Rodgers, 22, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with majors in Africana studies, biology, and the history and philosophy of science, and plans to study medical anthropology at Oxford.
"I'm specifically interested in some of the cultural aspects of health programs, international health programs such as those started by the World Health Organization," said Rodgers, who was in Tanzania last year working on a community development project.
After studying at Oxford, he intends to go to medical school, then work as a public health worker and field clinician.
"At some point, I really like the idea of taking a leadership role at the World Health Organization," he said.
Another winner, Bryn Mawr student Nina Cohen, of Newton, Mass., said she was "honored and humbled," especially considering the field.
" I've intellectually processed it, not really emotionally," said Cohen, who plans to study political theory with a focus on how different ethical beliefs are reconciled within a liberal framework and constitutional law.
"In college, I discovered that I really enjoy teaching and mentoring, and that's definitely something that I hope to continue to do," she said.
Cohen said she hopes to become a legal scholar and a federal judge, interpreting the U.S. Constitution, which she called "the greatest, most genius and most active piece of political philosophy ever written."
Zachary Crippen, 20, who's from Bala Cynwyd and attends the Air Force Academy, said he was also surprised that his name was on the list.
"I was in a room with incredible people who no doubt will be changing the world in their own right," Crippen said of others who interviewed for the scholarship. He plans to work on master's degrees in public policy and one in science in global governance and diplomacy. He hopes to someday be a judge advocate in the Air Force.
Crippen studied Arabic in Egypt and also spent time with the Israel Defense Force studying Israeli-Palestinian relations and the country's relationship with the United States. The youngest member of his U.S. Air Force Academy class, he is scheduled to graduate in May.
"I've known since I was very young that I wanted to live a life of public service," he said. "And I think the military is an excellent way to at least start that because it inculcates a sense of discipline, I think develops in you a zeal and a love for your country that is hard to parallel."

BEIJING (Reuters) - Courts in China's restive far western region of Xinjiang have jailed 20 people for up to 15 years on charges of terrorism and separatism, state media said on Thursday, as the heavily Muslim area marks the fasting month of Ramadan.
The three courts in the cities of Urumqi, Kashgar and Aksu also leveled charges of making explosive devices, promoting religious extremism and plotting "holy war", Communist Party mouthpiece the People's Daily said on its website (www.people.com.cn).
While it did not give the ethnicity of those sentenced, judging from their names they were all Uighurs, a Muslim Turkic-speaking people who call Xinjiang home, many of whom chafe at Beijing's rule and restrictions on their religion and culture.
"A vast amount of evidence shows that the accused criminals carried out a lot of preparatory work in planning violent terror activities and set up a formal terror organization," the report said.
"They bought, produced and copied mobile transmitters, discs and publications which promoted separatism, religious extremism and violent terror and proactively spread them around," it added.
"Some members of the terror organization made explosives and carried out test explosions."
China blamed violence in Xinjiang - strategically located on the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Central Asia - on Islamic separatists who want to establish an independent state of "East Turkestan".
Some Chinese officials have blamed attacks on Muslim militants trained in Pakistan.
But many rights groups say China overstates the threat to justify its tight grip on the region.
Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress, said the government had politicized the case and used terrorism as an excuse to punish Uighurs who don't agree with the system.
"The aim is to terrorize Uighurs into abandoning their rights," he said in an emailed statement.
Beijing has shown no sign of relaxing its control in Xinjiang, a vast swath of territory accounting for one-sixth of China's land mass which holds rich oil, gas and coal deposits.
In July 2009, regional capital Urumqi was rocked by violence between majority Han Chinese and minority Uighurs that killed nearly 200 people.
Since the unrest, China has turned its attention to boosting development in Xinjiang and providing greater job opportunities, especially for Uighurs, to try to address some of the root causes of the violence.

Now we're getting somewhere.
It looks like one of my predictions came true. Obito has the ability to see through his Sharingan eye which is possessed by Kakashi. With this ability he could spy on any activity Kakashi happens to be involved in so long as the Sharingan is exposed. It's pretty clear that Kakash killed the real Rin. I'm guessing that some kind of deception or manipulation by the Mist ninja caused this. I wonder what role Obito will take in this situation since he is at the battlefield.

I agree that Kakashi 'letting Rin die' would hold more impact than him just straight up killing her, unless Kakashi's death blow was because he was in an illusion and was cocky in thinking he could beat all his opponents--then I'll let it slide. But w/ez, looks like we can't take most statements, words and thoughts seriously anymore, they might get changed way later. Still better than itachi's retcon though.. |

except that in this case it's not way later. obito literally said 'you let rin die' in ch 600. there's no way kishi didn't know where he was going with this flashback only a couple chapters ago. therefore there are only 2 options. either what we're seeing is a genjutsu or some kind of other trick like a zetsu clone of rin and the real rin died some other way that kakashi couldn't help, or kishi purposely wrote bs for no real reason. if it's the latter then wtf...

This is a pointless debate about something that could be either a mistranslation of a more generally applicable japanese sentence or Obito does not regard Kakashi as Rin's killer. Kakashi never wanted to kill Rin, so even if he caused her death as we see on the last page it wasn't his doing.

it's true that we don't know what happened next and that it could all be explained as a zetsu clone of rin or something, but that's the case every week when we talk about the current chapter. that's the whole point of most of these discussions. discussing what might happen and what things might mean. there's no point in discussing facts that everyone knows. like kamui being a MS technique for instance if it's a mis-translation then its a moot point. i can only talk about what i see. not what the words might mean in their original language |

(It's been a while since I looked back that far and read that specific chapter, so maybe I'm wrong, but that's something that stuck with me.) So Kakashi 'killing Rin' like we're seeing now, seems way outta left field...OR.... Quote:

I think we can say that Obito is able to see through "his" other sharingan. There may be requirements to this, but it seems that is the case.
I also find it strange that Obito says "You let Rin die." but clearly Kakashi chidori'd her. Madara is likely involved in this incident. Maybe via his control over the Mizukagi, maybe through Zetsu, maybe via controlling Kakashi. Personally I think Naruto is going to get Sasuke's eyes, and Sasuke's death is also going to trigger the Rinnegan for Naruto... Naruto will have the Kyuubi removed from him, and he'll survive, just like Kushina did but he'll be passed out/weak. Madara will be in control of the 10 tails and all the power that entails, but Sasuke will step in and protect Naruto who was about to be killed by Madara in his fully powered state now that he's got the 10 tails. Madara kicks Sasuke's ass but someone unexpected jumps in long enough for Sakura to implant Sasuke's eyes into Naruto before he dies, so that he can "live on" through Naruto. Naruto awakens to his new eyes(his old ones were probably damaged) and sees Sasuke, assesses what happens, and turns into the Sage of Six Paths. Epic battle between Naruto and Madara ensues. Pardon the big post. |

I really doubt Madara had anything to do with this. He's trying to get Obito to follow his plan, but i don't think he would have to Stage such a play just to convince Obito to join his side. That doesn't seem to be Madara's style, to me anyway. All signs are pointing to it, because, why would Zetsu even tell Obito that they were in danger.
Madara is so confident in his image of the world, I think he would feel that he doesn't NEED to fake this to convince somebody. |

I just don't see how can this be discussed since one side of the discussion says that the author is a complete idiot, which obviously is not true so there's nothing to discuss there. I mean we can discuss how both Obito's sentence and the last page can be real by having theories about Zetsu clones or translation errors or whatever, but discussing if the author is idiot or not is pointless. Maybe you're wasting your time defending the author against such trolling, but i don't want to ruin your fun

^Jiraiya isn't even close to being a threat to Naruto anymore. He can't use Senjutsu without the aid of the Toads (which they would not give him), and his strongest attacks would be shrugged off or simply avoided with the Kyuubi shroud. A fight with Itachi would have been interesting, but that would require Kishimoto to besmirch Itachi's name.

uhm... the 5th hokage is Tsunade...
You're talking about the 3rd hokage (Sandaime) and he wasn't killed by Orochimaru, he killed himself to seal Orochimaru's arms, along with the 1st, 2nd, and himself. The Fourth Hokage used the same jutsu when he was sealing the Kyuubi inside Naruto. They've explained that their souls are sealed after using that Jutsu, so Kabuto can't revive them. |

Here is my guess. Kakashi is under some kind of genjutsu. He still hasn't master the sharingan full potential. What Obito saw was all part of the genjustu. He's seeing what Kakashi is seeing. The mist ninja are probably mind f*cking Kakashi, thus Obito seeing everything.

same could be said about asuma. jiraiya would be one of the resolve-breaking ETs designed for naruto. but jiraiya would also be able to take out some fairly big targets as well. naruto is one of the few good guys who could beat him |

Idk why nobody expected kakashi killed rin, i never assumed, anything differently...why else would kakashi and tobi have a ms? Duh..
Anyway this whole tobito thing is still stupid..what's funny is the ppl saying oooh kakashi killed obito's 12 year old crush, now his world domination plans make sense opposed to if she was killed by someone else...uh no, still stupid... Let's end this, i have a feeling this manga jumped the shark. |

What's NOT Cookin' in Rhio's Kitchen with Rhio Running Time: 92 minutes Did you know that the people of the United States are one of the largest consumers of dairy products in the world? Dairy products are known to be high in calcium but isn't it ironic that with all the dairy we consume, we also have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis? We associate good feelings with dairy because let's face it, most of us were raised with dairy and we enjoy the flavor. We all grew up hearing positive phrases like milk and honey, peaches and cream, milk... it does a body good, la crème de la crème, and many others embedded in our language which color our perceptions. Dairy today is not what it used to be. The idyllic farm of yesteryear has been replaced with factory farming. Unfortunately, In the United States many cows are injected with a genetically engineered synthetic hormone called rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) which makes them produce a lot of milk. They become super milk producers, but the price to be paid is an increased incidence of mastitis and other diseases for which the cows are then treated with antibiotics. And these antibiotics end up in the milk. rBGH has negative effects on the human body and for that reason it has been outlawed in Canada, Europe and many other countries. And since the cows are fed conventional feed, some of the pesticides from that feed end up in the milk as well. Casomorphins, by-product peptides of the digestion of casein in dairy products have addictive qualities - specifically casomorphin opioids. In this DVD Rhio discusses some of the other negative effects of consuming dairy, as well as providing delicious and satisfying substitutes... dairy-like foods made from nuts, seeds, vegetables and herbs to provide a means for people to transition off of dairy successfully. Rhio has some terrific recipes that will change your life! Delicious, good for you and easy to do. I highly recommend this DVD. As a dentist/nutritionist this is some of the best information I have come across in awhile. Victor Zeines, DDS, MS Author of Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body Anyone serious about making raw foods taste great needs this DVD. Rhio's been a leader in the raw food movement for years and her recipes are simply delicious! Paul Nison, Raw Food Author and Chef www.Paulnison.com Rhio reveals a few tricks that will get you eating raw at home. Beginners can avoid the disappointment, expense and wasted food that comes with trial and error. This DVD is a great investment in your health and your dining pleasure. Rhio has hit a home run with this one. Dr. Jennifer Daniels Salud de Oro Fasting and Healthy Lifestyles Center, Panama www.SaluddeOro.com

Isabella reporting:
Before I wind up these posts from Colonial Williamsburg, I did want to mention the weather. While much of the country was suffering the effects of Winter Storm Freyr, Williamsburg's milder climate meant that the precipitation on the day after Christmas was heavy rain, not snow. But the temperatures did drop after that, and the addition of a blustery wind made for true winter weather, Virginia-style.
So how to dress for an 18th c. winter day? Georgian Virginians could have summed up their winter style in the same single word that their modern contemporaries do: layers. Quilted wool petticoats and waistcoats, thick stockings, scarves, mittens, caps, and mitts under heavy woolen cloaks were mandatory for those of every class who ventured out-of-doors, as interpreters Courtney Colligan and Amanda Davis demonstrate, right.
Yet even in a colonial city far from London, there were ladies who were as concerned about being fashionable as keeping warm. Although I didn't see our friends from the Margaret Hunter millinery shop outside during this visit, I found the photograph from an earlier Christmas season, left, of mantua-maker's apprentice Sarah Woodyard, ready to run an errand for her mistress. An 18th c. apprentice was a walking advertisement for her shop's wares, and Sarah's cloak is wool-lined silk, with a matching muff to keep her hands warm. (For more about her clothes, see the earlier post.)
A tailor's apprentice would also be expected to make a stylish figure when he left his shop. Michael McCarty, right, has been send out on his master's business, leather case in hand. He's chosen an uncocked, flat-brimmed hat and a neat, dark red woolen suit (waistcoat, breeches, and jacket.) His great coat of grey wool beaver may look familiar; we've seen it here before, worn by tailor Mark Hutter. (See here for more about the great coat.)

Ever been the victim of false accusations? Ever have people malign your motives while trying to live for God or do work for God? Nehemiah did! In the sixth chapter of the book that bears his name, Nehemiah shows how he handled it. He set a good pattern for us to follow. Listen to part 2 of Opposition By Fearful Distraction.
To this point in our study, we have noted that Satan, the Adversary of God and of God's people, uses a variety of schemes in his attempts to hinder or bring the work of God to a halt -- whether in a person's life, family or church. Some of these strategies have been opposition by ridicule, by anger, by discouragement (chapter 4), and by division (chapter 5). Satan's attacks so far have been directed towards the people externally, internally and circumstantially but now they are directed to Nehemiah personally as God's leader.
Nehemiah 6 reveals another very effective method the devil still uses today. It is indicated by direct statements that are repeated and then is implied with another statement made in our text today--fear. We easily get distracted when we fear and the work of God comes to a halt while we feel paralyzed at times by our fears--a fear of people--what they think of us, say to us, might do to us; fear of circumstances-- "What happens if_______"; or the fear of being able to discharge the duties we are called upon to perform--"Can I really pull this off? I have never done this before….", etc. Fear can be a real serious distraction!
If we would successfully complete the work God has given us to do, we must handle fearful distractions the way Nehemiah did. Otherwise we will fall for this trick of the devil and get distracted from doing the job God wants done.
This message is part 1 of "Opposition By Fearful Distractions."

Bathrooms | 1 |
Half Baths | 1 |
Property type | apartment |
Minimum Stay | 3 - 7 nights |
This sunny suite on landscaped grounds is located on the hilltop above Governors Harbour, in a small community of homes called Governor's Estate. Stroll down the hill to the shops and restaurants of town, or buy fresh fish and lobster from the town dock. An 8-minute walk in the other direction takes you to French Leave Beach, the most beautiful beach on the island. Walk for miles along this sandy shore, snorkel in the gin-clear waters, and enjoy a meal or a cocktail at the beachside Beach House restaurant. If you prefer, stay at home at Peach House and sunbathe on your expansive deck with views of the ocean.
Peach House has a bright and sunny, open-plan living and dining area with French doors to a large deck. The spacious master bedroom, which also has French doors to a deck, has a king bed and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. There is an additional half-bath off the living room.
The kitchen is fully equipped and supplied. Kitchen appliances include a glass-topped electric range and oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and blender.
The apartment has access a laundry room with washer and dryer, shared with the downstairs apartment. Peach House is fully air-conditioned and equipped with IPOD docks, WIFI, and satellite TV with DVD.
French Leave Beach, walking distance from the house, is an idyllic, mile-long, crescent-shaped, pink-sand beach. There are only half a dozen houses on the entire length of this spectacular beach, among the most famous in the Bahamas. The surf is very mild, protected by a large reef system that parallels the shore. The water on French Leave Beach is literally crystal clear: with no rivers or streams on the island, Eleuthera's seas are free of sediment and among the clearest in the world.
The town of Governors Harbour, at the bottom of the hill, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. The recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, hosts a weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.
Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, is completely safe any time of the day or night. Enjoy the rare experience of picking up hitch-hikers and leaving your keys in the car wherever you go. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes. You can have a charter captain take you out for excursions of various types. There is excellent sightseeing as well. Eleuthera has vast caves, cliffs, a bottomless ocean hole, many unique beaches, historic churches and 19th century homes, and small villages to explore. We hope you will enjoy Peach House, and experience all our island has to offer.
we had a great time on Eleuthera and we loved Kathy and Bob place, we felt like at home, nothing missing, everything practical and clean, so nice and comfortable, the deck all around the apartment is great we could spend a lot of time outside because we could choose the sunniest spot or the less windy.... she really thought about everything for her tenants....
We think that their location on top of the hill at Governor Harbor is the best after exploring the all island... we loved it there!
They gave us very good tips at the beginning of our vacation to find grocery stores, restaurants and the best beaches.... they were there for us!
We were upgraded and stayed at Tops House in Governors Harbour and I can say, that every expectation we had was exceeded. We found two spacious sleeping rooms with ensuite bathrooms, very pleasently furbished and equipped in very clean condition. Everything is there: beach towels and chairs, umbrellas, kitchen with microwave, coffee machine, mixer..., outside grill, pool with deck chairs, veranda chairs. Pool and garden are permanently maintained and cleaned.
It was a pleasure staying there and try the local goods in our holiday kitchen, go for a drink ervery now and then to Tippis or 1648 or Sunset Inn, have a coffee and a peace of rum cake at Da Perks when waiting for the fisherman, walking along Club Med Beach and enjoy the fresh Atlantic waters, practice Yoga in the morning on the spacious veranda towards the garden, browse the internet at the private pool with the free WiFi and, and, and...
We strongly recommend this place - eather for a family with two kids or two couples.
The Upper Peach House was a great choice. It fulfilled our expectations and more. The house was so clean and very bright with plenty of room for two people. The grounds are maintained beautifully. The location is central to the island, which is helpful for anyone who wants to see the whole island, as we did. We could break up the driving by going south one day and then north another. The owner, Kathy Coleman, is an absolute delight. We really enjoyed talking with her and she is warm and friendly, ready to help in any way. Very thoughtful to provide a cell phone for emergencies, welcome food & beverage and eager to accommodate. We will gladly rent from her again. Everyone at Eleuthera Vacation Rentals was very helpful and eager to be sure we were happy in getting our reservation in place. Eleuthera is beautiful. Very quiet and relaxing. Not many dining options, but enough to take care of us for the week. Our favorite restaurant was 1648, which happens to be very close to the property. Tippy's is fun for drinks & catch the live music if you can as it is only once a week. Skye Beach is fun for a day of beach with a pool & drinks. Lighthouse Beach is quite a drive, but worth it. Stunning views from on top of the rocks. We use Turnquest Car Rentals and Arthur was great! Would use his service again. Extremely casual island, don't bother packing anything very fancy. A wonderful island to just chill.
Peach house was very cute! We had the upstairs unit. Very good value for the property! The unit was modern and very cozy. The view isn't as great as a beach front property and you will need to drive to get to the nearest beach, but it is in a good location, and we had a wonderful stay!
The upstairs Peach house rental was perfect. You can sit on the outside deck and enjoy a distant view of the water and the most beautiful beach is a 10 minute walk or quick car ride. The apartment was tastefully decorated and filled with everything that you could possibly need. The owner Kathy lives right next door and is always available for advice. I would rent again in a heart beat.
Kathy, Bob and Joe the dog made our stay a perfect one! Everything we possibly could have needed for our stay was provided by the warmest people. Not once did we feel alone or left to fend for ourselves.
- being welcomed with a quick rundown of what to do, what to eat, and the best lasagne we've ever tasted after a long day of flying
- the bright lighting during the day and spotlessly clean design of the house
- views from every window and balcony that somehow manage to still feel private due to the landscaping -- which has a garden you can use!
- a land line so that anyone calling from the island doesn't need to use long distance
- several amenities you'd have at your own home, so you don't need to buy several things you can't bring on planes when you get there
- central location with easy access to shops, banks, great restaurants and the best beaches
- being greeted by Joe the dog each night we came home, one night Joe decided to take a nap in the livingroom with my husband :) Joe's great to hang with, especially when you miss your own pet!
We plan to come again with a larger group so we can try the other houses! All of them are designed with impeccable taste. They are perfect against the backdrop of the beauty and colours of Eleuthera.
Kathy and Bob were fantastic! We stayed at the upstairs apartment of the Peach House and fell in love. The house has everything you need for a great vacation and the location is perfect. You can explore the island and visit all the amazing beaches Eleuthera has to offer. We hope to make it back to the island again someday and we will definitely stay with Kathy & Bob.

What is this worth?
It seems to me that this should of sold by now but to be honest I have not even had any low ball offers or interest from others on this truck. I take that back I did have a few high schoolers wanting to buy it with there graduation money but nothing serious. I will just keep it if I can't get around 4 for it but I want to start something new. Any advice? Last edited by mudslinger101; May 15th, 2013 at 05:39 AM. |

seems like a very fair price, I saw it up a while ago and i'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. It would help if you did the two seals that it needs so that it would be a turn key rig. Even without it fixed though it's a good price. Have you posted it on any other sites? Craigslist forces you to deal with shitty buyers and tons of tire kickers but it would probably sell.
May 14th, 2013, 10:23 PM | #7 |
Whoop Whoop
I would agree with everything stated here. Maybe clean it up real good and take detailed pictures proving that it is clean? Especially for CL if you think of going that route.
My favorite statement as a seller on there is "what is the reason you are offering me xxx price vs the asking price" They never state any reason, and most come right up to the asking price. |
May 15th, 2013, 05:05 AM | #8 |
I'm not old, honest...
I don't think it's a bad price. But since you are asking for input, here are a couple things that make a person unsure.
The biggest cam I could put in it.............. better specs on an engine rebuild help. What is the lift & duration? Some people have no issue with a welded dif, others do. The rear axle leaks The transfer case leaks The passenger window doesn't work The CB doesn't work. With all that, a person realizes they are buying a project vehicle. The upside is kudos to you for being honest about it. Back to your original question, yes, I think the price is fair. I'm just trying to help give insight to why no one has jumped on it. Don't worry, it will sell. |

Swamp Stomper
I was asking $5000 or best, had 5 people look at it, no buyers. I spend a day detailing it, good wash, polish it up, wax, extra things like cleaning up the frame with a black can of spray paint, not covering anything bad, just making it look cleaner, put it back out for $6000 and sold to the first person who looked at it, the first night it was out, for $5800. Most people just don't want to lift a finger, they want the vehicle to be ready to go as soon as they buy it. |

Your target audience doesn't have $4200 to spend on a toy?
I have to say though a big x2 to what both Jim and John said. People don't like issues. Honesty is good. But my thought would be, "If this guy isn't going to take the time to get the diff sealed what else has he not taken care of." Granted there are some things that will always be an issue and are to be expected on a trail rig. People don't like the only pictures of the vehicle being that of it being beat on. It's kinda like a stripper. We all know their purpose in life. But she isn't going to get the pass by Mom if the only pictures you have of her are her swinging on a pole. |

I'll Direc your TV
Obviously the truck is a wheeling rig, but nobody wants to see it actually wheeling before they buy it. Take some better poser shots; nice ones sitting in a driveway all cleaned up, and take a couple hours to fix some of the minor things wrong such as the leaks |
May 15th, 2013, 12:45 PM | #12 | |
The Violator
Anyways I also agree that everyone else here is spot on. Your price is right but people want a "ready to go" rig over a "project" rig. Spend a few days fixing everything up and if no one still doesn't buy it at least your rig is all fixed up ready for you to use. Oh and get ahold of me sometime, we should do some wheeling, its been years. Also wish I had cash, ive been looking at this for months. Last edited by montecarlo33; May 15th, 2013 at 12:49 PM. |

Flex Is OverRated
to me the issue is this:
its too far gone to be a reliable street driver but not really built enough to be a hardcore trailrig. Its a full size truck on 42's....to wheel it hard it needs better front shafts, some sort of hydro for the steering, better knuckles, and on and on and on....with the amount of money that ads up to you might as well start with a stock truck that hasn't been pre beat my :2cents: |
May 15th, 2013, 02:31 PM | #16 |
Covered in mud...
The guys have pretty much nailed it. Its a niche vehicle. Any time you take something and make it into a trail beater, its market/# of potential buyers gets really narrow.
The more custom/one of a kind stuff you do, to the next buyer, thats more 'what the f*ck is this?' moments. You see how slowly and/or cheaply homebuilt buggies sell for, same thing. With yours, I think its one step further, that most of the time that people go in that direction with a vehicle, they want something smaller, like a Toyota or S10, or chopped up XJ. Not many people want to trail ride full size Xcabs. Doesn't mean the value isn't correct, just the market is again, small. I've been trying to sell a decent XJ with some cosmetic damage, can't sell it for nothing. About to switch to parting-out mode. |

Thanks Gabor. As for freebsd, I was wrong, it apparently suffers from a different problem (or problems). First, when running the simple run-program-in-a-loop test, I occasionally see errors like this: * (loop for i below 10000 do (sb-ext:run-program "/bin/echo" '("It would be nice if this didn't crash.") :wait nil :output nil)) debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {5989C909}>: Recursive lock attempt #S(SB-THREAD:MUTEX :NAME "Lock for active processes." :%OWNER #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {5989C909}> :STATE 1).

I should probably preface this review by saying I already LOVE this song, in fact it's up for the For The Country Record Song of the Year… but more on that later.
The video, however, just takes it to the next level. Instead of getting Dierks, who's not an actor, to play himself in the video, they employ someone else to do it. Some worried prior to the release that this would cause audiences to lose that vital connection with Dierks on such a personal song, but actually it turns it into a bigger story altogether. This is primarily down to the creativity of the director, Wes Edwards. Although Dierks is brought in for band scenes to ensure that personal connection is made, I actually prefer the scenes with the actor. Instead of hovering over slow-motion drawn-out standard scenes, like would be the easy thing to do, they pull out all the stops and go for short, snappy flashes of scenes. What this does is give a memory box-style feel to it, rummaging through, glancing at various memories as you pass.
You might think that this makes the video too convoluted and messy. Quite the opposite. The filming and editing are clever; close-ups and only the most necessary key shots are used to convey a message and they pack a lot of cool and quirky things (like guys messing about on a tour bus) into a very short space of time, without confusing the viewer. The fact that this is interspersed with Dierks, who is bringing to life what has already been touched upon in the actor's scenes, makes it quite powerful, and the storytelling involved is genius. It really highlights the emotional impact that the song was aiming for, and altogether makes it a fantastic piece of media to enjoy.
The speed of the shots also help to enhance the drama of the song, building the excitement particularly towards the end, working with the rhythm to have a multi-sensory effect. But what's so captivating about this video is that while you could take the actor's scenes as flashes from a fictional mini-movie, this is not a fictional story. It's Dierks' story, in full color HD with no emotion spared. And that's what makes this video one of top 5 this year. The director has gone above and beyond and done an excellent job. But at the end of the day, it's Dierks who really brings it home.
