I understand you taking exception with the over simplification of the outsource issue but to say that...See more it's a "greed-driven business model" is an oversimplification of its own. Domestic dental labs who compete primarily on price are facing a crisis to stay in business. Rather than greed, their very survival depends on their ability to use offshore labs to take advantage of cheap labor. Our medium sized lab has a parade of small lab owners seeking work because they simply can't afford to make a living wage in the current market with their lack of capital & business acumen. There's a simple reality that labs who have made a living making crowns out of their basement for $1 cheaper than the lab down the street are disappearing. Although I feel bad these labs are closing and the challenges of change, I'm not convinced that this shakeout is necessarily a bad thing for our industry.
US labs need to quit whining about the offshore problem and work toward finding ways to compete in ways other than price. Finding ways to improve compliance and material integrity is only part of the solution. Domestic labs will ALWAYS have a competitive advantage in turnaround time and the ability to forge personal, meaningful business relationships with their dentists. Successful labs will find a way to incorporate automation, efficiency, artistry, and other value-added services to their dentists. As long as labs keep acting like vendors to their customers rather than partners in mutual success, the profession will continue to "cheapen."
In my view, the shakeout will continue for a few more years with automation, milling, and monolithic materials leading the way. Labs owners who work 16 hour days for $40,000 year making base-metal pfms for local dentists will continue to disappear. Its time for US labs to step up, take control, and shed the defeatist mentality. The future is bright for those who embrace change and seize new opportunities. — tagged Outsourcing

How many total matrices and commutative matrices or commutative sets are possible in GL(r,Zn)?
Firstly, note that this only make sense for a prime, as otherwise this will not be a group so GL(...) would be incorrect notation!
I'm note entirely sure what you mean. However, define to be the center of your group (Z stands for Zentrum; Germany was the world's mathematical superpower before the 1930, when group theory was in its infancy). This set is the set of all elements which commute with every element in your group. It is a subgroup of (in fact, it is normal too).
In the center consists of all diagonal matrices where the elements on the diagonal are constant (e.g. they are all 3, or are all 5, or are all 23514). Thus, the set of matrices which commute with every other matrix is the set,
I hope that answers the middle bit...
What do you mean by a total matrix?
Okay. Well, let commute with every matrix in , your General Linear group. Then, specifically, commutes with the elementary matrices (matrices with 0s off the diagonal and all 1s on the diagonal apart from in one position). Then multiplying on the right by such a matrix corresponds to an elementary column operation, while multiplication on the left corresponds to an elementary row operation. This implies must be diagonal.
Further, swapping the th and th rows gives you the same matrix as swapping the th and th rows. Such operations correspond to invertible matrices. Thus, all the entries in the diagonals must be the same.
Therefore, is of the required form. Such a matrix clearly does commute with everything, and we are done.
(I would recommend sitting down with this proof for a while a mulling it over, as well as trying a few examples. It is kinda tricky to get your head around...)

Gorgonzola Canapés with Walnuts
Excerpted from Party Snacks! by A.J. Rathbun.
When picking out a cracker to serve as the basis for these excellent canapés, be sure to choose something with a bit of heft, that wont snap easily. Youll also want to shy away from any cracker thats been overseasoned in some way (the classic Chicken-in-a-Biscuit wont work), because it will clash with the assertive flavors in the topping.

AT&T Center
Attendance: 17,606
San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Parker poured in 32 points and dished out seven assists, as the San Antonio Spurs continued their dominance over the Golden State Warriors in the Alamo City with a 118-104 victory at AT&T Center.
The Spurs have topped the Warriors 23 straight times in San Antonio and haven't lost to Golden State at home since drafting star forward Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall pick in 1997.
Duncan has been on the floor for 22 of those victories. He had 20 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists Wednesday for the Spurs, who closed out a four-game homestand with a 3-1 mark. Roger Mason added 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists off the bench for San Antonio, which shot 51.8 percent from the field.
"It's always good to get a win the day before Thanksgiving. We stuck with it against some players who are really difficult to guard. They lead the league in scoring, but we were able to get it done," said Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
Monta Ellis tied a career-high with 42 points for the Warriors, who haven't beat the Spurs in the Alamo City since February 14, 1997. Corey Maggette and Anthony Randolph chipped in 14 and 12 points, respectively, for Golden State, which shot 46.5 percent from the floor.
The Warriors played just six players in a victory at Dallas Tuesday, but used nine in this game.
"They're a great team. I'm not going to take that away from them. If we just look back at the game we'll see that we did it to ourselves. We made mistakes. They're a veteran team and they converted off of every mistake we made. We didn't do that. They played hard and made plays when they needed to and got the win. That's all you can say," said Ellis.
Down 78-77 late in the third, San Antonio went on a 14-2 run and never looked back. George Hill made four free throws to end the spurt and make it a 91-80 game. The Spurs led by ten heading to the fourth after Randolph made 1-of-2 from the charity stripe.
San Antonio opened the final frame with a 19-7 flurry. A long Mason jumper ended the run, giving the Spurs a 110-88 lead with 6:47 to play.
Golden State responded with 12 straight points to cut the gap to 10, but that was as close as the visitors got the rest of the way.
The Spurs, who led by as many as seven in the first quarter, took a 33-31 edge into the second.
San Antonio took a 60-58 lead into the locker room after a back-and-forth battle in the second frame.

Like cerakoting a gun? You might want to browse the threads in the "refinishing" section of the forum. There is at least one vendor who gets recommended for that kind of coating work, but i can't call their name, sorry. edit* I think this is the recommended vendor i was thinking of, but wait for somebody else to confirm that: http://www.ccrrefinishing.com/info.htm Maybe looking at their website will help you pick a type of "dip".

"Vagabond is a Kerouac-esque, declaration of living in the moment, because tomorrow there's a bag to pack, a car to gas up, and an unknown, cash-strapped highway to explore." – Baeble "…wind-blown folk songs...See him now before he blows up" - Seattle Weekly
Australian singer-songwriter Stu Larsen announced his return to North America for a headlining tour this spring. The run will launch on April 20 in Vancouver, Canada and will bring Stu across the continent before it wraps up on May 10 in Atlanta, GA. Sharing the stage with Larsen will be Japanese harmonica genius Natsuki Kurai. Stu first met Natsuki Kurai by chance in a little venue in Tokyo four years ago. This was the start of a special friendship, which has seen them play shows across Europe, Australia and Japan together. The duo are excited to play together again in April. See below for a complete list of dates.
Stu Larsen released his debut full-length album, Vagabond, on July 15, 2014 via Nettwerk Records. The album was recorded at Sydney's esteemed Linear Studios and was co-produced by Chris Vallejo and friend/label-mate Mike Rosenberg (aka Passenger). It was only a few years ago that Stu left his small town Australia and embraced a life as a vagabond taking opportunities as they came. Since then he has been touring, recording, driving friends tour vans and pretty much anything else that allows him to continue his travels. In 2014, Larsen spent the bulk of the year touring the globe as a headliner in support of his aptly named debut and as the opener for Multi-Platinum singer Passenger's sold-out worldwide tour.
"The debut album from Boxed In will enhance your life…Oli Bayston is an impressive songwriter and his piano-pinned dance-pop album carries zero duds." — NME "…a beauty, capturing Bayston's housed-up, lo-fi appeal, which involves locked-in, Hot Chip recalling grooves, world-weary, Bernard Summer-like vocals and simple-as-pie melodies that worm their way into your soul and claim squatters rights. Stunning." — Sunday Times "Debut Of The Week" "Boxed In…hits hard enough in places to get the party started and holds just enough back to make you want to return to it again and again." — The Line of Best Fit "A charming blend of electronic and indie sounds bolstered by witty songwriting …a winning debut that's often more consistent than the work of their better-known contemporaries." – All Music "'All Your Love Is Gone' is one of those motorik rave-ups that just keeps building intensity, and Michael Rother has given it a makeover that maintains the brisk urgency while significantly changing its sound." — Stereogum
"MYSTERY" MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY ON STEREOGUM (Watch Here: http://bit.ly/1JeCVzh)
After garnering rave reviews from around the UK, Boxed In will see the North American release of his self-titled debut on March 31st. Single "All Your Love Is Gone," along with a special remix from Neu!'s Michael Rother, will be available on January 27th. Listen to the remix here: http://bit.ly/1yOT3CR.
Boxed In is the first solo endeavor from sought after UK songwriter/producer Oli Bayston, who got his start in indie band Keith and has since collaborated with the likes of 2 Bears, Steve Mason, Willy Mason, Lianne La Havas, Lily Allen and more.
Guster's seventh studio album, Evermotion debuted this week at #1 on the Independent Record Label Current Albums chart, #2 on the Current Alternative Albums chart and #3 on the Top Rock Albums chart. The quartet released the album independently for the first time since their debut, as a joint release with Nettwerk and their own label, Ocho Mule. Evermotion, produced by The Shins' keyboardist and The Black Keys' touring bassist Richard Swift, offers up Guster's most experimental instrumentation and layered arrangements to date with The Wall Street Journal praising its "synthesized ambience, clever percussion, [and] unexpected addenda" and AllMusic saying the band "discovers electricity" on the 11 songs.
Listen to Evermotion in this series of postcard-esque videos featuring the band--don't take your eyes off them!
Influential Canadian outfit Delerium are set to release the Glimmer EP on January 27, 2015. The EP includes the recently recovered, self titled single "Glimmer" featuring Emily Haines (of Metric). Originally recorded in 2005, the track has recently resurfaced from the stacks, and will also be featured on an upcoming rarities and b-sides release (date TBA). The Glimmer EP includes remixes by New Orleans-born, Connecticut-based DJ Emjae and a collaboration with Stereojackers and Mark Loverush.
Listen And Share "Glimmer" Feat. Emily Haines: "Glimmer reads a bit like a Hollywood mystery having been lost for years, has resurfaced by happenstance" says Bill Leeb of Delerium. "When our music engineer and mixer, Greg Reely, was pilfering through some recordings, he stumbled upon this song that features Emily Haines of Metric. As it turns out, this track comes from the Chimera album sessions when I collaborated with Carmen Rizzo and Jamie Muhoberac. The song's words remind us even in the darkest moments when it seems all is lost, with perseverance and a little luck, we can find our own place and keep that glimmer of hope."
Nettwerk recording artist William Close & The Earth Harp Collective – a team of musicians, dancers, aerialists and artists - will bring their unique performance-based experience to the official NFL Super Bowl XLIX Tailgate Party, alongside fellow musicians Dierks Bentley and Gavin DeGraw. In the past, the Tailgate Party has boasted a talent lineup that included Phillip Phillips, Lenny Kravitz, The Fray, OneRepublic, Jersey Boys and more.
Installation artist, musician and America's Got Talent finalist William Close has built over 100 one-of-a-kind musical instruments, including the world's largest string instrument, The Earth Harp. Developed by Close, the body of the instrument rests on the stage, while the strings travel over the audience, attaching to the back of the theatre, concert hall and/or festival ground, turning every space into an instrument. By rubbing violin rosin covered gloves along the strings, Close delivers The Harp's signature bowed sound. "It's an instrument unlike anything Bach or Beethoven could have ever imagined," writes The New York Times.
Nettwerk Music Group (Nettwerk) announced today that it has acquired Robot of the Century Music, an independent music publisher founded out of Roadrunner Records, the pre-eminent worldwide rock label, by its former chairman Cees Wessels.
Under the acquisition, Nettwerk's teams throughout North America and Europe will work directly with the songwriters on the Robot of the Century roster, which includes such marquee rock artists/songwriters as Young The Giant, Black Stone Cherry, Jesse Leach (of Killswitch Engage) and Trivium.
Nettwerk President/COO Simon Mortimer-Lamb says, "We are very excited to welcome the Robot of the Century roster of artists and songwriters to Nettwerk. They have established themselves as some of the best in their genre and have achieved a global reach. We look forward to utilizing our teams throughout the world to ensure their continued growth and success."
Canada's Current Swell are excited to announce U.S. headlining dates this winter. The rock band, who are already set for a spring tour with Cat Empire, will launch the solo leg on February 16th in the D.C area. The new dates will bring them to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis and numerous other midwestern cities before ending on March 4th in Nashville, TN. The North American tour with Australian band Cat Empire will begin a month later in Canada and will bring the band back to the U.S. to play several major cities on the East and West Coast in April. A full list of dates is below.
Current Swell released their latest album Ulysses, the "best record of their career" (Pittsburgh In Tune), on May 6, 2014. The album was produced by Nathan Sabatino (Dr. Dog, Neko Case, Giant Stand) at Vancouver's iconic Greenhouse Studios. Ulysses landed at #1 on the Rock iTunes chart, #10 on the Alternative Albums Chart and a career high Top 50 debut on the Top 200 chart in Canada. The latest single "Rollin'" was recently the #1 most added track at Alternative Rock Radio and is now #11, in the competitive format's Top 30 chart.
This year marks Nettwerk Music Group's 30th Anniversary, and the Vancouver-born turned international Label, Management and Publishing Company will be celebrating throughout the year, starting with the release of a covers compilation called From Cover To Cover: 30 Years At Nettwerk. The full album is streaming now exclusively at PasteMagazine.com (here: http://bit.ly/15uBGxu).
Out January 27, From Cover To Cover: 30 Years At Nettwerk features current Nettwerk artists covering popular songs from the company's rich and diverse history. Madi Diaz brings an electro-pop vibe to "You, Me & The Bourgeoisie" from fellow LA indie band The Submarines, UK-duo Coves give Angus & Julia Stone's "Big Jet Plane" a psychedelic and haunting spin, and Radical Face strips the industrial from Skinny Puppy's "Assimilate" for a surprisingly beautiful yet still powerful take on the track. Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel," The Weepies "World Spins Madly On," Coldplay's "Shiver" and "Yellow" and a slew of others also appear in a new form (full track list below).
Nettwerk Music Group is thrilled to announce the signing of Australia's multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd to its label roster.
"It's very exciting to have the opportunity to work with an artist whose musical and spiritual values match that of my own. We look forward to helping Xavier get his message out," says CEO of Nettwerk Music Group, Terry McBride.
On March 17, Rudd will release Nanna, a career-defining album that puts the once solo artist on his feet, playing guitar center stage, as he fronts Xavier Rudd & The United Nations - a one-people musical force. In the past, Rudd's onstage one-man-band setup included a half-dozen guitar choices, three didgeridoos and various styles of native drum. With the release of Nanna, Rudd explores the next chapter in his extensive career...the role of frontman, amidst some of the best players in the world. Featuring guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keys, horns, flute and backing vocals, the aptly titled Xavier Rudd & The United Nations brings together musicians from all corners of the globe, representing the diverse cultures of Australia, Indigenous Australia, South Africa, Samoa, Germany and Papua New Guinea. The band is symbolic of the message that all people of the world can come together, respect the ancient ways and return to spirit.
"This is an important year on many levels. I'm excited to be working with Nettwerk in bringing this special album to the world; an album that's been a long, long time coming," says Rudd.
Family Of The Year partnered with BuzzFeed to shares the new music video for the band's standout track "Hero." Featured in the Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe winning film Boyhood, the film trailer and the official soundtrack, "Hero" has been cut to footage from the groundbreaking masterpiece to create an official music video that represents the power of both the film and the song. Joe Keefe (lead vocals, guitars) recently sat down with the New York Post to discuss the song, the band and their relationship to the film.
With their Billboard radio chart debut, Family Of The Year saw "Hero" reach #1 on the Triple A Top 30 Radio Chart, sitting Top 5 for a record-breaking four months. "Hero" also landed Top 10 at Alternative Radio. With the release of Loma Vista, Family Of The Year performed "Hero" on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CONAN and Last Call With Carson Daly. Also, MTV2 added Family Of The Year to "Artist To Watch" and USA Today featured the band in their "On The Verge" column. All this follows other emerging artist features with Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Amazon, Interview Magazine, Paste, SonicBids and more. Formed in 2009, Family Of The Year is Joe Keefe (lead vocals, guitars), Sebastian Keefe (drums, vocals), James Buckey (guitars, vocals) and Christina Schroeter (keyboards, vocals).

Well this'll be interesting... Enrayged, the Bringer of Silence Lore:many combatants have entered the Noxian arenas - the only two ever recorded to have survived are the Demacian Xin Zhao, and the minotaur, Alistar. However, there is another name on the endless list not listed as deceased, but rather, "missing" - the Noxus-born assassin known as Enrayged. No one knows his true name, nor why he was given this brutal death sentence in the first place - all that is known is that one night, during a particularly brutal fight, he just... disappeared. Every combatant he was fighting began looking around frantically, and one by one, they were silently injected with poison - no one noticed, untill the arena was filled with nothing but gasping, screaming, soon-to-be-corpses. It was then that Enrayged's alliegence became clear - himself. "Listen, do you hear that? Silence... yes... someone will die tonight" - Enrayged, right before the appearent suicide of a Noxian noble. Health:low Attack:strong Spells:weak Difficulty:medium-hard Passive:Steel & Hatred - Enrayged as honed his blades and arrows to inflict as much pain as possible. His attacks will apply a true damage DoT (2 damage at level one, gains 2 damage per level) Q:Assassin's Armory:Enrayged has skill with more than one weapon - due to his time in the arena, he has learned to wield both a hexbow and a pair of warknives with vicious efficency. Passive:with the warknives equipped, Enrayged's health and attack damage is increased (health - 100/200/300/400/500)(AD - 10/20/30/40/50) when his hexbow is equipped, he gains attack speed and lifesteal(AS - 10/20/30/40/50%)(LS - 10/15/20/25/30%) Active:Enrayged switches between his weapons. This has a 20 second cooldown at all ranks. W:Through the Darkness/Forking Arrows With his warknives equipped, Enrayged can quickly blink to a target location. If the target has an enemy nearby, he blinks again and instantly attacks for 40/80/120/160/200(+AD) With his Hexbow equipped, he has a 10/20/30/40/50% chance to fire two arrows. The second arrow will either hit another nearby enemy, or, if no other enemies are around, both arrows will hit the same target, with the second dealing half damage. E:Smoke Bomb/Paralytic Poison With his warknives equipped, Enrayged can drop a smoke bomb, blinding all nearby enemies for 0.5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds. With his hexbow equipped, he can fire a poison-laced arrow at an enemy, stunning them for 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds, and dealing 20 damage per second while they're stunned. R:Assassinate With either weapon equipped, Enrayged enters a state of grim focus. During this time, he cannot be blinded, slowed, or taunted, and he may only attack the target of his focus. He gains 20/35/50% armor penetration against his target, and 10/20/30% crit chance. lasts 10 seconds.

Wears a facemask that covers the lower half of his face. On either wrist are vambraces that also act as sheathes for his knives. On his back, he has a black quiver that also stores his bow when he is using his knives. Voice:sinister, gravelly, cold. Champion Selection:Silence comes... Movement: Through the shadows...

Captain Bravery, the bravest man ever! Lore: Captain Bravery is not a soldier... He is not a captain. No one knows who he really is. All they know is he is the bravest man to ever live. Even the bravery of Pantheon falls short of this man's undeniable braveness. He has run into every imaginable situation just to escape unscathed. His exploits are never recorded, but his fame is known throughout all the lands as just one brave man. "CAPTAAAAIN BRAAAVERYYYY!!!" - Captain Bravery on all occasions. Health: HIGH Attack: Medium Spells: med-high Difficulty: easy-medium Passive: Captain Bravery is super brave. His armor/magic resist increases by 5% per each enemy champion around him. Q: Bravery Punch: Captain Bravery punches his enemy with all his braveness, dealing 5% of their hp as damage (+AD) and knocking them away. W: Call of Bravery: (active) Captain Bravery calls out his name as a taunt to all heroes. All nearby enemies are feared for 1 second and allies gain 10% move speed for 2 seconds. (passive) Captain bravery's move speed is increased by 2.5/4/5.5/7/8.5%. E: Blessing of Bravery: Captain Bravery gives the power of bravery to an ally, giving them 5/6.5/7/8.5/10% increased AD/AS while decreasing damage dealt to them by the same %. R: BRAAAVERYYY!!!!: Captain Bravery becomes invincible for 1/2/3 seconds, returning all damage dealt to him over this time as true damage. Appearance: Super brave giant man. Has a big cape and some colorful clothing. Voice: Big and heroic. Movement: Towards bravery. I go bravely. Attack: They have no bravery. My bravery shall smite them! FEEL MY BRAVERY! Taunt: CAPTAAAAAIN BRAAVERYYY!!!! Joke: BRAAAVERYYYY CAPTAAAIN!!!! Dance: Something brave
Feanor the Almighty Passive: Reduces physical damage dealt to him by 20%, increases magic damage dealt to him by 15% Q: Critical ray: Feanor uses his almighty power to strike an enemy, dealing magic OR physical damage (whichever deals more damage because of Armor/Magic Resist) W: Crawl for the Master: Feanor glares at a champion, letting him crawl and reducing his movement speed E: Almighty army: Feanor let his minions attack a large area, reducing the Magic Resist of all evil in it. R: Pick your choice: Feanor uses his wisdom to pick the most beneficial ult. If Feanor picks an ultimate belonging to an enemy, that enemy is slowed, if Feanor decides to pick an allied ultimate, that ally is healed.
Dragoniel The Dragonsworn Black robed and hooded figure carrying sheathed katana-like sword by his left side, drawn only during attacks or abilities. Uses mana as a resource. Stat's the same as Master Yi. Lore summary Once a famous dragon-hunter by the name of Yokoshima, on behalf of his king gone to uncharted deserts of the West, seeking to challenge and defeat the ancient dragon lord of great wisdom and power, driving winged armies against that of a man, slowly but firmly taking the upper hand. He has never returned and was believed to be dead for many years, until a powerful summoner of Noxus, many a thousand miles away from the kingdom in war, searching for a candidate to be a new champion for the League stumbled upon a mysterious source of power and called it forth to him. The summoner found himself in a presence of dark cloaked man. The stranger wasn't at all surprised of his summons. In silent voice he identified himself as a Dragoniel and declared that he has come to fight in the Fields of Justice, as if he was summoned on a will not that of the summoners. Although nobody has seen Dragoniels face always hidden under the black hood, rumor has it that he is indeed the Yokoshima, the hero that has gone too far in the lands that were not meant for humans. Lost in the voice of the Winged Shadow, sworn his soul to the enemy of mankind. Driven by unknown purpose, wielding terrible power, not unlike fallen heroes of the old songs, relaying the events of ages before Demacia or Noxus even existed. Serpent Strike Dragoniel dashes towards targeted enemy and deals damage to him. Capable of critical strike, does not apply on-hit effects, scales with AD. Draconic Grace Passive: after scoring a critical strike Dragoniel gains a high chance to dodge next enemy attack cast on him. If the attack is dodged before the buff runs out, the chance to dodge is refreshed. Any direct damage taken removes the buff (AoE damage and DoT damage does not). Active: Dragoniel gains a percentage bonus of his base attack speed after scoring a critical strike. Lasts 12 seconds, stacks additively. Arcane Blast Dragoniel instantly teleports backwards to the maximum range of the spell (if within the said range), raises his right hand and fires a bolt of arcane energy to the target, exploding upon impact, dealing medium AoE magic damage and slowing affected targets movement speed for 3 seconds. Scales with AP. Same range as Serpent Strike. Wrath of the Dragonsworn Dragoniel falls in to terrible wrath, unleashing arcane energies upon himself, empowering his attacks to be ranged for the duration. Blade-like projectiles of shining arcane energy slices right trough the primary target, dealing reduced damage in medium area to enemy units around the target of impact and full damage in a cone to the enemy units behind the target of impact. Scales with AD and with AP, taking in to account 100% of Dragoniels current critical strike chance as bonus magic damage. If Draconic Grace is activated in the duration, it immediately gains maximum stacks of bonus attack speed which does not wear off until the ultimate has ended. Incapable of critical strike. Does not apply on-hit effects.

I hope it is a new DragonBall Z season dont even say its not i dont care if you think that im hoping it is because that was was the best show out of all 3 dragonball shows.
I bet 2 cents that its gonna be about the descendants of Goku, Vegita and the others. Some strong dude shows up, beat the crap out of them and when all hope seems to be lost Goku shows up and saves the day ^^
I hope it is a new DragonBall Z season dont even say its not i dont care if you think that im hoping it is because that was was the best show out of all 3 dragonball shows.
Hmm...let me guess, Goku and Vegeta Jr?! lol, I'm suprised, I thought they'd just let it die with GT, but milking the series dry is good too. Why don't they just do what Marvel and DC do and revive the whole series by starting over a decade from now? I'd watch that.
Will i want to ask whats your favorite season that you would want them to base this new season off of i said of course DragonBall Z.
I only hope it's not a rehash or remake of what they have done previously , but am looking forward to seeing it.

I will probably not like it if it has the origianl characters from the series....
im really sick of a continuation. i want new characters, new theme!!!!, same universe of the whle energy thing,. just not the same characters, it'll just be a long drag on a franchise .
I wish they'd take a risk., playing on the popularity is just them being tools...
Thank you sooo much Pyro Psycho>
I wouldn't mind new characters. I've actually never thought about that. I am at least hoping it has some good character development ala original Dragon Ball series.
Still...never thought I'd see anything new. Lol Just hope they don't stand around powering up and talking for most of the movie/ova/whatever it is.
Wait... Let me guess.
Its going to be about some evil force threatening earth, and only the dragon ball gang can stop them. Once the evil force gets to earth, the DB gang get their asses handed to them and one of them die.
They then set off to find the dragon balls to resurrect their fallen comrade, who comes back twice as strong as before and kicks the evil guys ass.
Just like in every other Dragon ball story arc since the first season of Dragon Ball Z. Personally I think its going to suck.

- I just saw the film a second time yesterday. I was unhappy about a couple of parts after I saw it the first time. But my experience of it improved, so perhaps it is helped to have more awareness of what's going on in it -- a LOT of detail -- or perhaps it simply grows on you.
The first time 'round I thought Mithrandir's confrontation with the Balrog was too long but, then, on second viewing I realized it might be needed to hit home that Mithrandir isn't any ordinary person. Also, I don't know how strong the tale and reverb from the tale of St George and the dragon is in some audiences, but it sure resonates with that.
I was entranced by Smeagol/Gollum's internal conflicts both times, and wonder how many Psych 201 classes will recommend or take 'field trips' to see the film and watch this depicted. It's quite explicit, and the need for a ferocious personality like that of Gollum to allow the creature to survive is well drawn. It very much backs up, I think, the whole compassion theme running strongly in the book and why, among other reasons, the idea of categorizing anyone as simply "evil" is oversimplifying.
Along with almost everyone else who knows something about the book, I dislike the changes to Faramir's character and to the plot section regarding Osgiliath. Indeed, there are unhealed seams from cutting in that area, ones others have alluded to.
Despite the big deal made of the absence of Shelob in TTT and Jackson's apologies about it in, for instance, his discussion on TTT in LOTR Fan Club magazine, she is there, but at the very end, and only by reference. Whether that will be a dangling reference, not to be picked up in "Return of the King", will remain to be seen. Even if it is, it occurs at the right place to tag a Shelob scene in there on an extended DVD. What Jackson said originally was that they filmed a Shelob sequence and were planning to move it earlier in the TTT storyline, but too much had to be changed to support it, and so they dropped that part of the story. This, of course, sent shivers through fans of the book, making them wonder if the move to the film medium necessarily meant major characters like Bombadil and Shelob had to be cut or whether this was purely a side effect of commercial constraints.
Right now, then, I'm happy with the film except for the Faramir thing, which I have already explained, and two visual things I find to be inappropriate conceits. These are the rendering of Sauron's eye in TTT and the rendering of the ringwraith flying mounts. Both appear to be lateral references to similar visual creations in sci-fi or Batman-genre cinema, the former being a kind of extended electrical arc effect drawn in between the evil-looking upper spires of Barad-Dur (*), and the mounts looking very like the monsters of the 1950-1960s Japanese sci-fi genre.
The rendering of Sauron's eye is the more serious gaff, because it both breaks with a strong impression given in the "Fellowship" movie and because it trivializes Sauron's power. In "Fellowship" the all-seeing eye was very much a spiritual or psychological artifact, something you couldn't really run away from because those who were sensitive to it knew it followed them wherever they were. How do you run away from yourself? By putting the eye atop Barad-Dur or wherever it is, it seems Jackson has localized it and redefined whatever power of projection or penetration it has to be simply a physical manifestation of great electrical power. I mean, it looks to be like all you need to do is walk up to Barad Dur, pull the plug, and Sauron's done. (Or fail to pay the electric bill....) I don't see all that much gained by limiting him to the top of the tower. Heck, the Balrog is a lot scarier.
The dragonesque ringwraith mounts are disappointing more than a gaff. I don't know what Jackson will do in "Return of the King", but from the book it seems their primary 'weapon' and effect is terrorizing their enemies by fear and loss of will to fight. It just doesn't seem an oversized flying wizard does that. All you need are bigger arrows, and Faramir's driving the mount off with a simple shot of his bow is making it look quite weak. Remember, the forces here are powerful enough so that if Mithrandir simply speaks the Ring Inscription in the Black Speech at Rivendell, the sky darkens. "Return of the King" describes the arrival of the ringwraiths on their mounts similarly. Obviously, it's an individual envisioning, but I thought the mounts were far more like a creature which inhabited both the physical and spiritual worlds, being both black, as in absence of light, and translucent. They just don't seem that terrible.
Finally I cannot see how any serious student of media can consider a rendition of a story in one to be "an improvement" over a rendition in another. Different media demand different approaches. Nothing could ever 'replace' the book version of LOTR, but that's not because the book is best--whatever that really means--but because it's not the same tale if it is told using film or for that matter audio.
(*) Or was that supposed to be Minas Morgol? In which case the plot deviated from its source, this time unncessarily, IMO. - Ernest S. Tomlinson wrote:

Do You Have Tips On Getting A Good Night's Sleep?
Most people enjoy a good night's sleep; however, for whatever reason, there are periods of time in nearly everyone's life when sleep becomes a struggle.
Sleep performs a very vital restorative function to the body. When the normal sleep pattern is interrupted for any length of time, it can have negative physical and psychological consequences. We need a fairly regular sleep pattern to function our best as employees, parents, students, spouses or in whatever other roles we play.
Infants require more sleep than children, and children need more than adults. Most adults require six to eight hours of sleep a night, but some need even more than eight.
If you are experiencing difficulty in getting a good night's sleep, here are some suggestions:
- Keep a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. According to research on sleep disorders, people sleep best if the room temperature is between 64 and 66 degrees.
- Avoid consuming food or drink with caffeine or anything with a high sugar content within approximately three hours of bedtime. Both tend to speed up the system.
- Try to avoid naps. Daytime naps seldom help sleep disorders. If you find yourself sleepy at noontime or immediately following a meal, try a brisk walk to get going again. Naps tend to disrupt night-time sleep.
- Establish a set time for retiring to bed and waking in the morning. The body functions best on established routines.
- Do not go to bed early on a given night because you did not sleep well the night before or because you have a big day the next day. Regular times for going to bed and getting up will produce more sleep than trying to catch up on or stockpile sleep.
- Do something pleasant and relaxing before retiring for the night. This might include reading, listening to music, pleasant conversation or watching television.
- Create a pre-bedtime ritual. This will help you to psychologically prepare for sleep. Things such as taking a warm shower or bath, brushing your teeth, locking the doors and telling family members goodnight are all good patterns to let your system know you are getting ready to sleep.
- Use the bedroom only for what it was designed. Lying in bed reading or watching television may make it difficult for the body to wind down.

'Mad Money Lightning Round': Caution on Citigroup
To see the full "Mad Money" Recap, please
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Friday evening.
Abiomed (ABMD - Get Report): "Easy come, easy go. This is a long-term investment, not a short-term trade. I want to own, not trade."
Citigroup (C - Get Report): "I bless owning Citi, but realize that it could fall 8% to 10% with a big spike in oil."
International Paper (IP - Get Report): "They're going to be able to raise prices. I think it's a strong buy, even up here." Boardwalk Partners (BWP - Get Report): "That one is the best. It's got a good yield and I would buy it aggressively here." Lincoln National (LNC): "I don't like the management. That is not an insurer I want to go with. I like Travelers Companies (TRV - Get Report)." Applied Materials (AMAT): "Look but don't pull the trigger. I like the semiconductors but not that one." --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.

I want to change the native mail app to the Gmail app on my dock on my ipad. I can move the native mail app to a page but when I drag the Gmail app to the dock it won't stay and the screen goes black then shows the Apple logo and I have to put my password back in. I have a non native app on the dock so not sure why the gmail app won't stick.

Nicaragua Profile
Nicaragua has been spared much of the violence that has shaken its neighbors, and while the country does appear to host at least one transnational criminal organization, so far it has not seen the kind of gang wars affecting the Northern Triangle countries: Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. While Nicaragua sees plenty of drug trafficking over its borders, local traffickers are nowhere close to presenting a regional threat. Most trafficking networks are based along the coastlines, especially the Atlantic side, although the Pacific and inland routes are also used to move cocaine shipments northwards.

Community West Bancshares Reports Fourth Quarter And Year End Results
Community West Bancshares ("Community West"), (NASDAQ: CWBC), parent company of Community West Bank, today reported a loss of $8.6 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 (4Q11) compared to net income of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter a year ago (4Q10). Quarter over quarter results were significantly impacted by a $6.7 million valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets and a loan loss provision in 4Q11 of $5.9 million as compared to $1.3 million in 4Q10. For the full year, Community West had a net loss of $10.5 million compared to net income of $2.1 million in 2010. The loan loss provision for 2011 was $14.6 million compared to $8.7 million in 2010.
"In the fourth quarter, we improved our core business by continuing to change the composition of our deposit portfolio, increasing core deposit balances, while effectively managing controllable operating expenses," stated Martin E. Plourd, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we are pleased with the progress in all of these areas during the quarter, the continuing high level of non-performing assets and related credit costs have adversely affected our operating results, leading us to conclude that recording a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset was appropriate at this time. This is a timing, non-cash item, and can be recovered when the Company achieves profits which offset the tax timing differences. Improving our asset quality through aggressive management of our problem assets remains the primary focus for Community West."
4Q11 Financial Highlights
- Net interest margin was 4.84% in 4Q11, a 46 basis point improvement compared to 3Q11 and a 27 basis point improvement compared to 4Q10. This is primarily due to reversals of loans previously on nonaccrual.
- Core deposits increased by 12.7% compared to a year ago, and now comprise 70.2% of total deposits.
- Nonaccrual loans were $28.7 million, or 5.23% of total loans at December 31, 2011 compared to $36.6 million, or 6.50% of total loans at September 30, 2011.
- The total allowance for loan losses equaled 3.24% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2011 compared to 2.94% at September 30, 2011 and 2.60% at December 31, 2010.
- Community West Bank's Total risk-based capital ratio was 11.80%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.53% and Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.26% at December 31, 2011.
Including $262,000 of preferred stock dividends, the net loss applicable to common stockholders was $8.8 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, in 4Q11 compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $795,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in 4Q10. In 2011, including $1.0 million in preferred stock dividends, the net loss applicable to common stockholders was $11.5 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, in 2010.

Well, I can't say much about Akali, imo she's not an amazing Champion, but she's also not terrible.. Her Twilight Shroud, now that I agree with.. at times I just stand on the edge of the shroud on Ryze waiting for her to pop out so I can fry her hard... the skill is just terrible. Change it to keep Akali stealthed for 5-10 seconds after leaving the area, and the skill has a use.
Senior Member
my champ is not perfect and has weaknesses baw they should definitely go through with that twilight shroud change though
alkali has insane dps to make up for it.
Akali is on the bad side, and needs fixing. Dead = zero DPS. And whatever DPS she has is bad, anyway. As a better solution, uninstall LoL and start playing BLC.
I agree. I really wish that Akali's Shadow Dance could be implemented as not only initiation, but also an escape. I like playing her a lot, but end-game, my score is usually always balanced out, but I never come out even (usually get scores like 8/8,5/5, ect.) Whenever engaging someone, I pretty much go in knowing that I most likely will get a kill, but will immediately die thereafter. I wont deny, I've gotten a few successful (but rare) escapes using Twilight Shroud. Most of the times, however, I don't even use it for myself. In fact, I end up tossing it on the ground, no where near myself, to help teammates escape when being chased (which doesn't slow the enemy by much, but I figure even a little might help). She's great for last-hitting, and attacking people that are completely alone. Don't even get me started on 5v5 though. Here is usually how things work out for me (and most other Akali players I've seen): I sit behind my team waiting for someone to initiate. The enemy team focuses/targets someone on my team. I toss a Twilight Shroud down and then Shadow Dance in. I hit someone a few times, and immediately after, all focus is shifted to me and I pretty much die instantly.
I strongly disagree. Learning how to juke with shroud is essential.
Shes fine, you just have to play to her strengths and not assume you should be able to play her like other champs. She is often one of the strongest in game in the hands of the increasingly many strong Akali players.

Perhaps the politicians were hoping that Americans were too busy taking in "news" about the Polar Vortex and the great George Washington Bridge distraction, but last week they tried to sneak the Trans Pacific Partnership, or TPP, onto the legislative fast track. A few people in the alternative media noticed however, including Future Tense's Ariel Bogle, via Slate:
… Read the restIt seems wrong to hate something that you've never read. Yet the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a globally significant free trade agreement being worked out in secret, is rewriting the rules in more ways than one.
The TPP is already being negotiated behind closed doors, but the situation could get worse. Late on Thursday afternoon, House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, introduced the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act of 2014. The bill would grant the White House fast-track authority, sometimes known as the "trade promotion authority," to ratify trade deals.

Benefits for People with Down Syndrome
Students and Parents – Testimonials
Down syndrome is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, often leading to mental retardation.*
One of my students, named James, is eleven years old and has Down syndrome. He speaks one word utterances, has low muscle tone and can be strong-willed and antisocial. When I first started working with James (in August 2007) he had difficulty cooperating with directions and following instructions.
During the thirty minute lesson we work on following basic one and two step directions by playing fun 'games' on horseback. These games can include transferring pool rings from tall poles to various areas around the arena, doing puzzles on horseback, blowing bubbles, or simply taking a favorite stuffed animal for a 'ride'. All these activities not only work on James' overall muscle tone and willingness to follow directions, they also help develop gross and fine motor skills. During James' lesson we also emphasize speech, working to increase James' vocabulary to more than one word at a time.
Because Therapeutic Riding is a social setting, James interacts not only with me and his horse, but a horse leader, sidewalker, and numerous other students and volunteers as well; James has been stretched to be a more social child, while still maintaining a sense of comfort and security atop his very own horse. All of this has worked to bring out a more joyful willing child. James is willing and able to focus for ever increasing amounts of time. He has also improved in muscle strength, progressing from a smaller slow horse, to one with a larger more active gait. These results would be much harder to accomplish without the dynamic atmosphere of therapeutic riding and of course the horse that makes it all possible.
