Citing a belief that the U.S. government is filling the sky over their desert community with chemicals, while referring to work of conspiracy theorist Russell Blaylock, western Arizona residents attended a hearing on chemtrails on Wednesday to voice their concerns.
With one woman stating, "We're being sprayed like bugs and it's really not okay," Sherrie Zendri, a policy specialist with the Arizona state environmental agency attempted to explain to the audience that her department has no jurisdiction over airplanes, which falls under the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration.
The hearing, called by State Sen. Kelli Ward, was billed as an opportunity for her constituents to air their concerns about chemtrails; believed by some to be chemical agents being sprayed into the atmosphere by aircraft for nefarious purposes.
Telling the audience "I am not here to debate the science of aircraft engine emissions. I am not a scientist," Zendri explained that she was at the meeting to explain her department's jurisdiction limits and to make recommendations where citizens could go to have their concerns addressed.
While a few attendees asked questions about the range and scope of Zendri's department's abilities, most speakers took the opportunity to make statements and present research they uncovered while searching the Internet, while others attempted to get Zendri to go on the record with her personal opinion.

HL20: Jeffrey Brenner, MD—Providing Better Care to Complex Patients
Jeffrey Brenner, MD, became interested in providing primary care to highly complex patients as a medical student working in an inner-city free clinic. Today, he focuses on improving care for patients who use a high amount of hospital and emergency services, a group he calls superutilizers.
This profile was published in the December, 2013 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
Jeffrey Brenner, MD, the founder and executive director of the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers and the medical director for the Urban Health Institute at Cooper Hospital, both in Camden, N.J.—one of the poorest communities in the country—became interested in providing primary care to highly complex patients as a medical student working in an inner-city free clinic.
While training alongside a passionate physician and mentor, Brenner says he realized how important it is to take the time to build strong relationships with patients who have complicated barriers to care. "I saw how transformative it was to patients' lives."
Soon after, Brenner began working at a student-run health clinic, and that experience changed the trajectory of his career.
"I loved taking care of complex patients who really need good medical care. … I thought primary care was boring and mundane, but it is actually more complex than any other specialty if you bring science and rigor to it. It was an 'a-ha' moment for me. I was going to get a PhD in neuroscience, but I switched off that and got very interested in the science of healthcare delivery and the science of primary care."
Today, Brenner focuses his work on improving care for patients who use a disproportionately high amount of hospital and emergency services, a group he calls superutilizers.

KUSA - A Colorado man was at a low point in his life a few years ago, now on Saturday, he is planning on setting a world record by running the greatest distance on a treadmill in 12 hours.
David Clark used to weigh 320 pounds and have food addictions and abused substances such as alcohol. Clark has turned his life around and is on a mission to bring more awareness to the obesity epidemic and help prevent substance abuse.
He is doing this with a small foundation he created named the Superman Project. Anybody who is struggling with obesity or substance abuse is welcomed to join.
Clark had to take baby steps to get to where he is today. The baby steps turned into bigger steps and now he is breaking boundaries and trying to help others fight their struggles by sending a positive message and hope to many.

Philanthropic activities often yield unexpected community development. Nebraska Philanthropy: Investing In Our Future explores that relationship. What began as a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization in North Platte has turned into a destination event for railroad enthusiasts from all over the world. In Prague, brothers Jeremy and Justin Stanislav have created an annual mud volleyball tournament that helps women battle breast cancer while bringing people and attention to their hometown. Through it's Hometown Competitiveness model, the Nebraska Community Foundation is helping Holt County attract young entrepreneurs to the region. And the Nebraska Children's Home Society reaps the benefit of a $4 Million gift, 120 years in the making.

The audio captures Shakur at a particularly tense period in his life, and his cartoon alter ego jumps between a number of subjects: his status as a role model, his then-impending trial, his parents' history with the Black Panther Party, and kissing Janet Jackson.
Most striking, perhaps, is when Shakur describes himself as a John Wayne figure: "Somebody who pulled himself up from their bootstraps. From poverty. From welfare. Now … I'm doing movies. I feel like a tragic hero in a Shakespeare play, you know what I'm saying?"

2014 Vendor Information
Vendor applications are now closed. If you submitted an application, you will hear back from the show organizers soon. If you didn't get an application submitted for this year, please check back later for the applications for the 2015 show.
If you have any questions, please call 1 (877) 768-1945 and ask for Nancy.
See below for further details about the process and procedures.
The following information is provided to clarify the processes that have been adopted by the Shipshewana Quilt Festival for vendors at the Shipshewana Quilt & Vendor Show. Because of the demand for booth space and the desire to maintain the highest quality of show possible, the show has adopted an application and approval process for booth space rather than an invitation for all wishing to be a vendor.
Applications for booth space are posted on the web site late summer with a deadline of mid-fall for the next calendar year's show. The application deadline for consideration for next year's show is October 15. This allows all involved in the process at least 6 months to plan for the event. Vendor booth decisions are made late fall with notifications early winter.
The show will be maintaining a contact list of those wishing to receive notification of the vendor booth application availability and will forward you information when it becomes available. To add your name to this list, please e-mail your contact information to email@example.com or watch this page for further information.
The organizers do identify alternate selections in the case of last minute cancellations. Should you desire to be considered for this list, please contact the show organizer, Nancy Troyer at firstname.lastname@example.com or (877) 768-1945.

NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans police officer commenting on WWLTV.com about a unarmed Florida teen who was shot dead in Florida has infuriated and embarrassed Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
Officer Jason Giroir, a member of the New Orleans Police Department for 13 years already under investigation for a shooting that left one man dead and two officers injured after he made a traffic stop, has now made online comments that caused Serpas to suspend him without pay.
"To say that I'm angry is an understatement," Serpas said. "I'm furious."
Giroir was commenting over the weekend on WWLTV.com about the unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, who was gunned down by a neighborhood night watchman.
Giroir's wrote: "Act like a Thug. Die like one."
"Included in those comments was that he was a member of the NOPD, which have caused me great concern concerning his fitness for duty," Serpas said. "I have suspended Officer Giroir immediately and without pay, indefinitely."
Mayor Mitch Landrieu issued a statement "wholeheartedly" supporting Serpas' action against Giroir, and adding, "The people of New Orleans and my administration will not tolerate this reckless and offensive behavior. I condemn his statements in the strongest of terms."
And it turns out Giroir has gotten in trouble before.
In 2006 the wife of NOPD Officer Desmond Pratt filed a brutality complaint against Giroir.
"His wife is followed by Jason Giroir -- thrown down, mishandled, abused -- and he gets away with it," said defense attorney Jason Williams.
At the time, the NOPD said Pratt was speeding and ran a red light, and Giroir followed her to her nearby home in a late night traffic stop.
Giroir's current attorney, Eric Hessler, said Giroir was "administratively cleared of wrongdoing."
"The administrative system cleared him," Williams said. "The criminal justice system never took a look at him ... The police department never arrested him. They never charged him with anything."
As for this latest episode of online comments, Giroir's attorney said, "It was just a boneheaded comment made by him. He probably should be punished for it. He probably should have thought before he began typing."
Serpas said he has embarrassed the police force.
"The New Orleans Police Department specifically condemns these comments, and comments like this won't be tolerated," Serpas said.
The NOPD's policy on the internet says no employee should post anything that is illegal, or anything that embarrasses, humiliates, discredits, or harms the operation and reputation of the police department.

The patent's assignee for patent number 8750129 is
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The present disclosure relates in general to network communication and, in particular, to an improved congestion management system for packet switched networks.
"As is known in the art, network communication is commonly premised on the well known seven layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which defines the functions of various protocol layers while not specifying the layer protocols themselves. The seven layers, sometimes referred to herein as Layer 7 through Layer 1, are the application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, and physical layers, respectively.
"At a source station, data communication begins when data is received from a source process at the top (application) layer of the stack of functions. The data is sequentially formatted at each successively lower layer of the stack until a data frame of bits is obtained at the data link layer. Finally, at the physical layer, the data is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic signals toward a destination station via a network link. When received at the destination station, the transmitted data is passed up a corresponding stack of functions in the reverse order in which the data was processed at the source station, thus supplying the information to a receiving process at the destination station.
"The principle of layered protocols, such as those supported by the OSI model, is that, while data traverses the model layers vertically, the layers at the source and destination stations interact in a peer-to-peer (i.e., Layer N to Layer N) manner, and the functions of each individual layer are performed without affecting the interface between the function of the individual layer and the protocol layers immediately above and below it. To achieve this effect, each layer of the protocol stack in the source station typically adds information (in the form of an encapsulated header) to the data generated by the sending process as the data descends the stack. At the destination station, these encapsulated headers are stripped off one-by-one as the data propagates up the layers of the stack until the decapsulated data is delivered to the receiving process.
"The physical network coupling the source and destination stations may include any number of network nodes interconnected by one or more wired or wireless network links. The network nodes commonly include hosts (e.g., server computers, client computers, mobile devices, etc.) that produce and consume network traffic, switches, and routers. Conventional network switches interconnect different network segments and process and forward data at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches typically provide at least basic bridge functions, including filtering data traffic by Layer 2 Media Access Control (MAC) address, learning the source MAC addresses of frames, and forwarding frames based upon destination MAC addresses. Routers, which interconnect different networks at the network (Layer 3) of the OSI model, typically implement network services such as route processing, path determination and path switching.
"A large network typically includes a large number of switches, which operate somewhat independently. Switches within the flow path of network data traffic include an ingress switch that receives incoming data packets and an egress switch that sends outgoing data packets, and frequently further include one or more intermediate switches coupled between the ingress and egress switches, in such a network, a switch is said to be congested when the rate at which data traffic ingresses at the switch exceeds the rate at which data traffic egresses at the switch.
"In conventional networks, when a switch in a data flow path is congested with data traffic, the congested switch may apply 'back pressure' by transmitting one or more congestion management messages, such as a priority-based flow control (PFC) or congestion notification (CN) message, requesting other switches in the network that are transmitting data traffic to the congested switch to reduce or to halt data traffic to the congested switch. Conventional congestion management message may specify a backoff time period during which data traffic is reduced or halted, where the backoff time may be determined upon the extent of congestion experienced by the congested switch.
"Conventional congestion management messages may not provide satisfactory management of network traffic, however. Conventional congestion management schemes are voluntary in that the switches sourcing the congesting data traffic are free to ignore the congestion management messages of the congested switch and to continue to transmit excess data traffic, which ultimately will be dropped by the congested switch. Further, a delay occurs between when congestion is detected by the congested switch and when the other switches of the network stop sending data traffic to the congested switch. During the delay, excess data traffic can be dropped by the congested switch. Thus, the conventional techniques of congestion management are reactionary and can require the communication protocols utilized to transport the data traffic to recover dropped data traffic. Conventional congestion management is particularly inadequate in scenarios in which the flow path of data traffic includes a large number of series-connected switches. In such cases, congestion may start at the egress switch and then continue to build toward the ingress switch in domino fashion, with data traffic being dropped all along the line. The processing and latency required to recover traffic dropped in response to congestion is further exacerbated when the data traffic is communicated with lossy lower layer protocols."
As a supplement to the background information on this patent, VerticalNews correspondents also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: "In at least one embodiment, a switching network includes first, second and third switches coupled for communication, such that the first and third switches communicate data traffic via the second switch. The first switch is operable to request transmission credits from the third switch, receive the transmission credits from the third switch and perform transmission of data traffic in reference to the transmission credits. The third switch is operable to receive the request for transmission credits from the first switch, generate the transmission credits and transmit the transmission credits to the first switch via the second switch. The second switch is operable to modify the transmission credits transmitted by the third switch prior to receipt of the transmission credits at the first switch."

A lawyer friend of mine once told me that if Americans were smart they wouldn't get out of bed in the morning without first consulting with their attorney. Of course, this smacks of self-preservation. And this friend -- a mortgage attorney to boot -- has a license to practice law in the legal capital of America: New York State. Where am I going with this? Answer: as federal and state regulators continue to heap more regulations on lenders and servicers, it stands to reason that these companies will require the special services of all sorts of vendors (regulatory, legal, and so on) to navigate the treacherous mortgage waters that now exist in this country. Already, I know of a few firms that, for a fee, will help you obtain your Ginnie Mae eagle. And then there's mortgage compliance. Who says excessive regulation doesn't create jobs?

You are right. SLS is hiring 130 more people in the next few months.
It would have been easier and safer to simply reinstate Glass Steigle or to require that loan originators retain some 10-15% of every loan. Self interest always weighs out!

Spindly musical comedy performer Carleton Carpenter was a professional magician and Broadway actor when he was signed to an MGM contract in 1949. In his second film, Three Little Words, Carpenter was paired with Debbie Reynolds, who, in the role of boop-a-doop girl Helen Kane, sang "I Wanna be Loved by You." MGM liked the chemistry generated between Carpenter and Reynolds, obligingly casting them in larger roles in Two Weeks With Love (1950); it was in this film that the twosome performed the tongue-twisting ditty "Abba Dabba Honeymoon." Carpenter went on to give straight dramatic performances in such films as Sky Full of Moon (1952) and Take the High Ground (1953) before returning to the stage. While he would occasionally resurface in films and on television, Carleton Carpenter was better known in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s as a best-selling mystery novelist; one of his more popular books, Deadhead, was adapted into a short-lived Broadway musical. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bonus Saturday Post! Happy Turkey Day Cards
November 23, 2013 by Core'dinator
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon, Tombow Adhesive
We have had so many great design ideas from our team this Thanksgiving that we have a bonus post for you this Saturday! Here's a little bit about these projects from Tracy Gruber!
There is nothing like a good clean and simple card. First, stamp the leaves onto 3 different colors from the Core'dinations Darks Collection pack. Next, fussy cut them out, emboss them, sand them with the Sand It Gadget, and then attach them to the Core'dinations 110 lb. white card base. Use a Tombow 3D Foam Tabs to attach the yellow leaf. Finally, stamp the sentiment and attach a May Arts Natural twine bow.
-Coredinations Essentials – Darks
-Core'dinations 110 lb. White Card stock
-Dust Buddy
-Sand It Gadget
-The Alley Way Stamps "It's Fall About You"
-Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
-Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
-May Arts Natural Twine
-Tombow 3D Foam Tabs
I love polka dots! I wanted to create a fall card with lots of polka dots and navy blue. First, punch some 1″ and 1 1/2″ circles from the Core'dinations Darks Collection pack using a Fiskars punch. Next, emboss, sand, and attach them to a white card front. The turkey is stamped on some Core'dinations 110 lb. white card stock (this is perfect for coloring with Copics!) and colored in with Copics. Finally, attach the turkey and the sentiment with Tombow 3D Foam Tabs.
-Core'dinations Darks Collection pack
-Core'dinations Neutrals Collection pack
-Core'dinations 110 lb. white card stock
-Cuttlebug Seeing Spots embossing folder
-Sand It Gadget
-Dust Buddy
-Tombow 3D Foam Tabs
-The Alley Way Stamps "It's Fall About You"
-Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
-Copic Markers: R05, YR68, E25, Y15, B37
-Simon Says Stamp Speech Bubble dies
-Fiskars 1″ and 1 1/2″ circle punches
Don't you think that sanding on the turkey just adds so much texture and dimension? SO CUTE!
Do you have a turkey for your traditional Thanksgiving meal? We have both turkey and ham! Since I didn't have a ham image on my Cricut, I had to settle with the turkey cut from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge. First, cut it at 2 3/4″ and emboss the light brown pieces with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then, sand them and the dark brown piece, since turkeys are not one perfect shade of brown The "greenery" is Parsley Core'dinations card stock and the light blue "plate" is from the Core'dinations Essentials Pastels Pack. Next, use the gray card stock from the Core'dinations Essentials Neutrals pack and the orange piece from the Core'dinations Essentials Darks Pack. Finish the card by adding a May Arts Natural twine bow.

Day Two with Lawn Fawn!
Day Two!
We are here all week long with Lawn Fawn! Our team loves loves loves loves their stamps so much..make sure you head over to their site to do some shopping! From cards to layouts, we have it for you! Please make sure you head over to the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration AND their Facebook page. Their Design Team is incredible and you don't want to miss anything.
First up we have Designer Tracy Gruber with a super cute card:
I love my Lawn Fawn stamps, so I was very excited to pair them with Core! I started with the Whitewash paper and embossed it with the Swirls embossing folder. I sanded the de-embossed side, so more of the blue color showed. I then stamped the tree from the Critters in the Forest set twice and kept one piece whole and the other one I cut each other the "sections" apart. I then attached each of the pieces to the whole tree and popped up the bottom with Tombow Foam Tabs to give it dimension. I used the green Core Vintage paper and tore it to create the grass for my scene.
LOOK at all that AMAZING detail!
Inspiration all week long with Lawn Fawn!
You came to the right place!
We are here all week long with Lawn Fawn! Our team loves loves loves loves their stamps so much. From cards to layouts, we have it for you! Please make sure you head over to their blog for more inspiration AND their Facebook page. Their Design Team is incredible and you don't want to miss anything.
Can you say…paper airplanes? EEEEEK! This Flying By stamp set IS JUST TOOOOOO CUTE! Emboss your Whitewash cardtock with a Darice cloud embossing folder and punch some peep holes with a circle punch in your layout…it really allows those planes to pop off the page and really look like they are flying. Don't forget to use the Flying By die cuts…makes life so easy! Shaunte always adds the sweetest details like stamping on the Core Couture for the sentiment and the heart in the twine. Just because it has a different finish doesn't mean you can' stamp on it.
And don't be afraid to get out those stamps and use them on your Layouts. Shaunte
Shaunte mixed and matched a bunch of Core on here with her Lawn Fawn Bon Voyage stamps. She sanded the Tim Holtz Kraft Core No. 3, My Mind's Eye Core Impressions on top of that and then embellished her way to a fabulous layout!
Shaunte stamped directly on her Vintage cardstock (airplane) and Whitewash Cardstock (cloud). This is a great idea in case you don't have copics or markers to color your own stamped images.
Guess what we have up for grabs for you this week?????
Leave a comment on any blog post this week to WIN…leave a comment every day for more chances! Thanks for joining us
See you tomorrow!
Summer Challenge: Brights Collection Pack
July 29, 2013 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon, Provocraft
Every month we challenge our designers to try new things. It might be a collection pack, techniques…something different just to get those creative juices flowing. So for July, we challenged our designers to use the Brights Collection pack and to do some fussy cutting for some added interest. Cut those stamps…cut those embossed images…you name it the sky is the limit!
The Brights collection pack is the PERFECT color palette for all your summer layouts and projects! Don't be afraid of those bright colors..embrace them!
First up we have a tutorial from Designer Kate Nolan-Denham on how she cut out some stamped images from her Brights Cardstock. This is a super easy way to create your own embellishments, don't you think?
Stamp directly on the Core texture side. Looks awesome!
LOVE that thick outlined image you get from the stamping…
And since circles seem to be a theme for a lot of our team right now, we thought we would share a layout from Design Team Member Gail Linder using our Brights Collection pack for this very challenge as well! Here is a little bit about this layout from Gail:
Okay, well, Gail didn't fussy cut her own details but you get the idea. We LOVE our Silhouette Cameo here at Core. There are so many amazing things you can do with it!
And one from Design Team Member Debbie Standard. Debbie anchored her Brights Collection with some Whitewash. And how about all that embossing and sanding! Fabulous…every detail is just amazing! Debbie combines multiple embossing folders form Darice, her Fiskars Paper crimper, outlining on the layout base, die cuts….you name it!
Stay tuned for tomorrow for some more fun in the sun layouts with our Brights Collection pack!

Four Buccaneers position battles that have already been decided
We've talked about many different position battles these past few weeks. One thing we haven't done is discuss the position battles that appear to have already been decided.
Jenkins Thriving in Familiar Surroundings
Veteran cornerback Mike Jenkins is focused more on learning a new defense than winning a particular starting job on defense right now, and he's got plenty of motivation to keep him on task While he may be in direct competition for the starting RCB job, Jenkins can help the Bucs in a variety of ways It's one of the nicer scenes of training camp, and ...

Mephisto Women's Petrea Light Sand Bucksoft Leather - Mephisto shoes are known for providing an impeccable fit, no matter the shape or size of the foot in question. The Mephisto Pewter Bucksoft Petrea is certainly no exception. This stylish sandal comes equipped with an elastic strap. Located right over the front of the ankle, the elastic strap helps to keep the foot in place without causing unnecessary chafing. A second strap wraps around the back of the ankle, making it easier to walk while wearing the Petrea. There is also a wide T-strap included near the front of the foot. The T-strap and the back strap are both constructed from bucksoft leather. The lower portion of the Mephisto Petrea is just as well-crafted as the upper. A slight wedge heel offers shock absorption, while texturing near the front of the sole allows for a better grip on unstable surfaces. Above the outsole, a suede-covered footbed contours to the foot for an accurate fit.

Inferential tests are when something is measured and thereby something else is INFERRED
If we are overweight then weight loss is a good thing but weight loss should not be our goal.
Our goal should be good health, and the bathroom scales are just one inferential indicator.
In my case T2 diabetes, defective heart wiring, and gout, prostate all have their own inferential tests and sampling procedures.
Key health words are "moderation"
I was reading a news article just now regarding the popularity of the gluten free diet. According to the article 10% of the population are following a gluten free diet, leading to manufacturers jumping on the band wagon stocking our shelves with lots of processed gluten free foods. I agree a lot of it is junk, but there's also a lot of good too coming from it too as it causes food manufacturers to really think about whether adding wheat to their food item is necessary.
I have been here on this fantastic low carb forum for 12 years now, originally as a regular visitor like yourself.
Every time Autumn hits - this forum slows down until spring, picks back up again, slows over Christmas and then bam its busy again after all of those New Years Resolutions, rinse and repeat!
But my question is why? why do we feel safe hiding away in our bulky coats, jumpers and trackies and then choose to lose weight in the warmer times of the year when

Crispy Skin Duck with Baby Fennel, Orange and Mixed Green Salad
Garry cooked this for dinner tonight, it was the first time I have eaten crispy skin duck and possibly only the second time I have had duck, I wasn't expecting to like it as I thought the duck would have a strong taste. Besides some orange, it was very low carb. I'm not the biggest fan of raw fennel I must say but otherwise

IBM opened four new cloud computing centers in emerging markets. They are in
At a time when organizations of all sizes are facing extreme data overload, skyrocketing energy costs, increasingly complex regulatory requirements and competition from more nimble economies, cloud computing is emerging as a shift across all industries. This computing model allows businesses and consumers alike to remotely access a vast computing resource that can be tapped on-demand to deliver next-generation services that consumers demand, like online medical records or mobile stock portfolio management. It also improves energy efficiency because of its principle as a shared infrastructure, and allows organizations to better track information, pay for what they use and access more computing, storage, services or applications on demand.
Among the first customers to use the new centers is the Association for Promotion of Brazilian Software Excellence (SOFTEX).
"An effective innovation solution requires an information technology (IT) environment that can quickly respond to changes in demand. SOFTEX has chosen IBM cloud computing to help us promote collaboration," said Arnaldo Bacha, vice president of SOFTEX. "IBM Idea Factory accommodates innovation among our employees, customers and partners. It is the first step for SOFTEX to adopt this cutting-edge technology."

Stuck on Planet Namek: My One-Sided Interview with Akira Toriyama
Very few people ever get the chance to meet their favorite celebrities, whether they're actors, directors, musicians, or porn stars. Most people never get to meet their mass-media idols. And I'm no different.
I didn't recently get the opportunity to sit down and interview the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, but I did it anyway.
"Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your busy schedule to allow me to stop by and ask a few questions," I say to no response. "I hate to completely fan-boy over you, but I really love your action-packed fighting manga Dragon Ball and the three anime series it spurred."
"After you've done so many interviews, it's difficult to find questions you haven't been asked before, so I've come up with some topics that—to my knowledge—you've never discussed in an interview."
"Let's start with the title. Dragon Ball. Seven mystical crystal balls hidden across the world that summon a wish-granting dragon god when gathered together. Most of the wishes—especially in Dragon Ball Z involve bringing fallen warriors and innocent collateral damage back to life. It's stated multiple times that the dragon, Shenron, can only grant wishes that won't exceed his creator's power. Oh, I'm sorry, Shenlong."
"My first question is: Why is a dragon god limited in power by a mortal? And, if every wish Shenlong grants is within the power of Kami or Dende, why don't Kami or Dende just fulfill the wishes without the dragon-ball-collecting hullabaloo?"
"I understand that since Shenlong is only summoned to the world through the dragon balls, it might make sense that because the dragon balls were created by Kami (or Dende), Shenlong's power in that realm would be limited."
"Though, at the end of Dragon Ball GT, doesn't Goku go off to train with Shenlong? Then it's kind of like he isn't bound by the dragon balls anymore, like when Aladdin freed the genie."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's not talk about Dragon Ball GT."
"So, then, why couldn't the creator of the dragon balls use his power to grant the wishes Shenlong does if they're capable?"
"Maybe what Shenlong meant was he couldn't grant a wish that required more energy to grant than what his creator had at the time. Because maybe the creator of the dragon balls didn't exactly have the power to grant wishes. Or Namekians can't resurrect the dead."
"But I'm sure Kami could have granted Oolong's first wish for women's underwear. Piccolo, after all, easily provided Gohan with a set of clothes identical to his during the Cell Games."
"It could also be that in order to keep some sort of cosmic, karmic balance or something, Kami just decides not to grant the wishes himself."
"You know, I never realized this until just recently, but Goku, the hero of the entire franchise, powerful as he is, rarely ever kills any of his enemies. He doesn't kill Piccolo at the martial arts tournament, which comes in handy when Raditz shows up. He's not even the one to kill Raditz! When Nappa and Vegeta arrive, Nappa ends up being killed by Vegeta, who escapes with everything but his tail intact. Vegeta later destroys the entire Ginyu Force on Namek, save Captain Ginyu himself. Trunks kills Frieza; Androids 19 and 20 are defeated while Goku is ill, and Gohan kills Cell. In fact, the only major villain in Dragon Ball Z actually killed by Goku is Majin Buu. It's fascinating."
"I think I vaguely remember Goku saying something to the effect of him not liking to kill. Maybe this was in comparison to the blood lust of his Saiyan brethren. Though he's an avid fighter capable of destroying worlds, he's fairly peaceful."
"But in Dragon Ball GT, he goes on to kill a few more villains, including Baby and the Shadow Dragons. Right, don't talk about GT. Sorry."
"In the Cell Saga, when Kami and Piccolo joined back together, the Namekian they become states that he is a Namekian who has long-since forgotten his name. It's understandable since it's been a long time since the two were one. But surely you've thought about his name. Even a little?"
"Could it be that his name is, in fact, Piccolo? I mean, is Kami really a name, or is it a title? If it's not a title, where does he get off calling himself god? And then where does 'Piccolo' come from? If the original Namekian's name was Piccolo, it makes sense that Kami would want to separate himself from that evil being he once was and shed the name altogether. Then that evil half would want to separate himself from the good half, thus specifying Demon King Piccolo."
"Oh! Before you go, I do have one final question. Is there anything you can tell us about the new Dragon Ball Z movie that's supposed to come out this year?"
"Good, great! It's going to be awesome!"
"Well, thank you for your time and answers. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"
"Yeah, probably not."

Dragonball GT wasn't sanctioned by Akira Toriyama and thus he had no involvement. They technically aren't canon.
# Willroyboyon 15 Jan 2013 at 2:28 pm
I guess that's why they're technically awful
# JJon 15 Jan 2013 at 3:22 pm
Huh, this is the first time I hear of a new DBZ movie. Go figure…
Also, the only good parts of the DBGT series is that later they did a condensed version of the original Dragon Ball in its style and it turned out to be pretty solid. I vaguely remember how awesome it was for young Goku kicking the Red Ribbon Army's ass with a bit of flair and style.
I haven't kept up with Toriyama for years, is he still writing manga?
# Zuhalter2000on 15 Jan 2013 at 10:49 pm
A few general concepts of GT were his but overall its not his failure to claim.
# keoon 16 Jan 2013 at 6:34 am
JJ, It's called Dragon Ball Z Kai. It's Dragon Ball Z without all the filler episodes, and the Majin Buu saga is omitted.

Call me crazy, but I don't think DBZ Kai should have omitted the Buu saga. I realize that the Cell Saga was originally intended to be the ending but I always thought the Majin Buu saga had some great fights and it was cool to see DBZ return to the more "magical and mystical" roots of the original Dragon Ball, whereas the rest of DBZ is strictly sci-fi oriented.

To elaborate on my point a bit, I think the Majin Buu saga would have greatly benefitted from DBZ Kai's reduction of filler material. I think they could have edited the final saga in a way that could make it far less meandering and redundant.
I liked DB GT. Great fights/enemies there. First two thirds of the series was crap, yes.

I have some answers to a few of your questions, that I can only say are assumptions. However, I do try to justify my assumptions with story events.
I would assume Kami could grant the womens underwear wish, since Piccolo was able to create cloths for Gohan. I think that scene was during the training before Vegeta arrived on Earth with Nappa. I would also assume Kami could have revived any Z-fighter in exchange for his life, like what the Elder Kai did with Goku. However, if he did then the dragon balls and Piccolo would go with him. I would assume that the "Eternal" Dragon which is, well, eternal would have a limitless pool of life energy to give up for human resurrection. This explains why even mass resurrection could be done. Even recreating destroyed planets might possibly be within Kami's power, since matter can not be created or 'destroyed' only changed (I think the rule goes something like that) all that would need to be done is bringing the matter together and changing it back to planet form. But who is to say just how much energy this would take, might be another life taker. How does the dragon have such tremendous energy? Well it does hibernate for a year between wishes, plus it had a long time prior to the first in series wish to gather a surplus of energy.
I'm a huge dbz fan, and I found your one sided interview quite a fun read.

6 Family-Friendly Road Trip Ideas
Plot the Course Together
Get all passengers involved during the planning stage—yes, that means the small fry, too. "When parents say, 'We're going
to drive from Chicago to San Francisco,' kids can get stressed-out, because they don't know what to expect," says Elizabeth
Foy Larsen, a mom of three and a coauthor of Unbored: The Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun ($25, amazon.com).
Before long trips, Larsen's family sits down with a map to discuss which cities might make good overnight stops. Each person gets to pick an attraction that he or she would like to visit along the route. That way, everybody has something to look forward to.

My family and I have ordered the food consistently since 1992. Even our late grandparents felt that it was the best, and we make incredible and fresh homemade meals the nights that we don't order here. The food is good, and fresh and we usually get the same thing.
