The Heritage Series TRG2 Grill - Black Column 6" Wheeled Cart is the ultimate in luxurious stainless steel quality and beauty! This infrared grill provides the classic beauty and durability of stainless steel for low maintenance and long lasting life.
- CSA Certified
- Grilling Surface Area: 574 sq. in.
- 35,000 BTUs
- Three main burners
- Infrared burner included
This grill features three infrared burners. Infrared burners heats up in approximately three minutes and the intense heat seals in meat juices for better flavor. The high heat also reduces flare-ups by vaporizing juices instantly!
With a specially designed stainless steel collector box, gas and air are combined to provide faster starts from either side of the burner with the electronic ignition. The side shelves will provide you some space for preparation. The self-cleaning Flavor Master porcelain briquettes provide food with a cleaner, fresher, and better barbecue flavor. Unlike metal flavor plates or bars, the Flavor Master briquettes will not rust. This grill also features a heavy duty rock grate with a fused-on rust resistant porcelain finish for longer life.
The Heritage Series TRG2 Grill - Black Column 6" Wheeled Cart is a two piece column and base combined. The column is an aluminum black powder painted piece that includes a stainless steel access door that will conceal a propane tank. The cart base is black powder painted aluminum with 6" wheels . Natural gas models come with a 12' hose with quick disconnect coupler.
The Heritage Series grills have a heavier grade construction for "Made in the USA" quality. They are built of the finest grade weather-resistant material - their permanent mold cast aluminum housing ensures thicker walls for years of endurance, sustains higher temperatures, and retains more heat for unmatched cooking performance. The stainless steel construction and high temperature powder paint finish provide lasting beauty and durability.

Web Business Monthly
When someone complains about how long it takes to view your Web site, it may not be your fault--sometimes users' systems are not set up for maximum performance. But your site should be. Your goal should be to limit your pages to 30k.
Start by making sure your images are optimized:
- Choose the most efficient format between .gif or .jpg
- Crop to show only relevant part of the image
- Convert the image to the fewest possible colors without distorting it
- Some packaged HTML editing tools add unnecessary code. If you can, read through and remove any unnecessary attributes
- Avoid nested tables (tables within other tables) even though it sometimes makes for better design. If you want speed you may have to sacrifice design
- Make sure all images have height and width designated.
If you can lead a user to the next page to continue a story, do so. Users don't like reading overlong, drawn-out columns of information--otherwise books would still be printed on scrolls.

Image Gallery: Fish Fieldwork - Central Coast, New South Wales, 2007
For three days in early May 2007, staff of the Fish Department conducted joint fieldwork with Marine Invertebrates staff around Umina on the central New South Wales coast.
We collected fishes at six locations under a permit issued by NSW DPI Fisheries. The specimens have now been incorporated into the fish collection and have helped to improve our knowledge of the fishes of the New South Wales coast.
One of the interesting finds was a specimen of a new species of scorpionfish that is currently being described by Australian Museum Research Associate, Dr Hiroyuki Motomura.
The specimens are now registered in the Fish Collection and available via loans to researchers worldwide.

Diesel versus Hybrids?
This is an interesting one? Some the car manufacturers are turning their efforts into developing more efficient diesel engines to give better mileage figures. This will also compete with the electric cars that are now being developed.
Surprising or not car development technology stops for no one. And new cars with cleaner diesel technologies have become much more credible alternatives to the hybrids because they are using much more advanced fuel systems, better and much more powerful electronics, and more up to date design techniques when designing the other engine parts. This is yet another step that we are taking to develop the cars of the future.
Another advantage of these new generation diesel engine cars is that the cars will not lose any rear leg room or boot space. In the electric cars this space is taken up by the large batteries that drive the cars power unit. In my opinion, I think that this will be another step to the massive mix of vehicles using different technologies on our roads and it can only be good news for those working in the auto trade, especially us garage owners, as long as we are given access to the new technology and train our staff we should have nothing to worry about, after all when i think back to what cars were like when i was a young mechanic, compared with what they are like now, then we have nothing to fear in the future unless you know differently?

I think it depends on the genre.. There are other genres (like seinen/josei, or slice of life) that I think I might not be 'too old' for.. On the other hand, I am not saying all shoujo anime are 'childish' or whatever not, but there are I suppose titles targeted for younger audience (like Shugo Chara etc) and other titles that are perhaps targeted at a wider age range (like Kimi ni Todoke).
But it also depends on the individual - I for one do not feel too old to watch anime, and I do not think I will feel so (at least in the near future). But I suppose some people might find themselves too old or bored or tired of watching anime; and if you find yourself in that situation (or other situations like it), why torture yourself? Maybe it is time for you to do something else, something new - something that you will find more exciting!
No way! I'll never feel this way about anime. Heck I still watch Card Captor Sakura marathons sometimes and sailor moon too!
The only time I feel to old to watch anime (even though I'm not even that old lol) is when I'm watching an anime that has young children in it, like Shugo Chara for example
The False Truths Uttered, Always So. Of How "I Am Fine", Yes That's How It Goes.
No, 19 is the perfect age.
I'll be watching anime until I am old and retired. I could care less what the little kids think.
ღ - https://youtu.be/GSyXSeAHL_k - ღ
Take note of my age. I have a son graduating from college this year.
I regularly feel like I'm too old for certain shows (generally when the fan-service drowns out the story), but never anime in general. Nor, incidentally, other animation when it is good enough ("Johnny Bravo" and "Samurai Jack" will be forever all-time classics in my mind) .
Koko... Doko?

You sir have good tastes.
! ~(*-*~)
Yeah I see where your coming from, yes those high school dramas/comedy/whats-his-face-genre, can and will get old, its probably gonna get to that point somewhere in the near future (Or atleast when someone will try to make something new and whole different and unique, cross fingers for that xD)
But this problem all goes down to the genre, not the anime itself I would say, because there are alot of different variety of what happens in the school, the only problem is that, somehow Japanese Anime creators have some weird fetish about highschool girls with 1 CM skirts, -.- It's probably gonna change in the future, more and more "different" Types of anime will come, but there has to be one that does it first, the one to break the chain I guess, but to break the chain an be successful "IT HAS TO BE GOOD" Or it will all fall apart, and it will become like a taboo. -.-
But this is only IMO.
Sorry for typos >.<
what is this cr stuff
well my other passion is animation character voice acting so I have to watch cartoons for this line of work anyway.
but aside from that there are indeed certain anime I would not watch becuase its too kidsy or there are a bunch of fanservicy type anime that is full of crap...that teens and tweens would watch. and thats when I would say, " I am too old for this bull***".... ha ha ha,
lets just say I f I had a child he/she would be around 16 by now
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Absolutely not! (But I have refused to watch Sesame Street since Elmo's arrival, so there!)
just wandering about...
Nope, never. I am almost 20 and I feel that no matter how old I get, I can never make the argument I am too old for anime simply because there is an anime genre out there for people of all ages. I am a film and media studies major and my advisor and myself argue a lot about what animation is as a film medium. And really, animation is not only meant for children and young people. Neither are comics! I watch a lot of anime with crude, cynical humor, sometimes very inappropriate humor. I also watch some horror anime and then your classic shounen series. if I had children, there are definitely some things I wouldn't want my kids watching that I watch....examples such as Gintama and Ixion Saga DT....
I mean, I am also a HUGE cardfight vanguard fan. I probably wouldn't let my children watch it either....
I donno, I don't think anime is really meant for children. When you think about the reader demographics for magazines like JUMP in Japan, a good chunk of them are 16 to 20 years old yet it's a magazine for middle school and elementary school children? Even series like One Piece....it's violent and the current arc in the manga has human experimentation and drug addiction....definitely something I wouldn't let my children read....
日本語は何ですか? wwwwwww
It's a bit late to start feeling to old to do something I love.
I still watch cartoons. I am currently trying the new TMNT on nick.
Cruising on my nimbus cloud
Yes... nah, I'm kidding. xD
Is it that hard to just say joaheyo

I will ask Ann tomorrow novi if she will help out with the project .If she agrees then we can start .You have the choice whether you want to translate from latin to english or viceversa or a mixture of both. My personal preference would by for both of us to do all the translating (despite the amount of work involved) .That way we get to meet all the grammar and vocab and ll becomes a complete course as it was designed to be.
Thanks again
little flower.
little flower wrote:hi again novi
I have spoken to Ann and she has given her blessing to the project with one proviso. She would like me to summarise each section in a couple of sentences to bulid up my comprehension skills and help with oral/written expression. As for your questions, its up to you whether you want to take the time to follow this manner of enquiry. I have been looking for methods to improve my grammar/vocabulary skills since i started with latin. The more i improve the more i seem to realise that i must keep challenging myself .I like the format of ll as it lends itself to immersion ;to translate a section from english to latin without looking at the original one must know a lot of rules and their application. This is also the Dowling approach even if one does not write everything out 200 times.
I have not started Vol 2 (roma aeterna) yet. I want to be more confident with vol' one first .Maybe in 6 months or so depending on my progress. Tell me if you want to start and we can draw up a rough outline to follow.
I dont have any other email address at the moment Interaxus .If you cant email or send the files to my private messages just leave it. Thanks for your help.
best of luck.

Hi again,

Would this help you for English into Latin translations?
If so I am happy to continue to translate the chapters into English.
The chapters are essentailly additional reading corresponding to the chapters of Familia Romana. So the same vocabulary and grammar are being used.
Let me know what you think.

0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Monday 24/09/2012, 13:48
Hey guys so this is just a casual post where we can share stuff that is considered overrated!
Ill start us off.
I think Praxie is definitely overrated since chiara, sandro (in mono), snowflake (most of the time) and andy ld (if you have it are all better choices (Even danae and lorna are competition)
I always thought X-0DUS was overrated.
X-0DUS just doesn't fit his bonus. His bonus tries to be unpredictable, but the Courage just makes him useful half the time, and normally it'll only be to block a poison like Azel or damage like Oxen since Vortex don't have any expendable SoA like Graff or something.
I think Praxie is decent but nothing more. Maaany clans have 8/4s. At least he's DR resistent and Skeelz 3* really suffer from DRs.
I think Melvin's very overrated. I honestly would take Thomy over him at this point since he can block Freaks bonus or something. Morgan fills the DR Sentinel need.
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Tuesday 25/09/2012, 01:44
Lol praxie is 8/4 protection: damage but THATS IT. compare him to the likes of tyd/ noodile cr who trade in with SoA/SoB. Praxie is the FOURTH best skeelz you guys dont know how threatening snowflake is.
haha X-0dus is fairly good WAY overpriced though vortex really needs an SoA so his price is... explainable.
anibal is kinda overrated, i dont even see him as good as methane.
ok cortez is ridiculous I DONT CARE if its 8/8 backlash and crappy clan bonus makes him not worth 70-80k. something like nahema doesnt even get any attention... i dont get it.
cre3k Hero HK's fox on typewriters Tuesday 25/09/2012, 03:37
Hriger is a strong card dudes, i mean really,
a solid 7 power, good 6 damage, not to mention the clan's bonus SOA
his ability is underappreciated, -1 pill min 1 which means he is usable in almost all turns(except last )
just think about it, a 7/6 card that ruins your ability (assuming you're not an SOB bonus card) with an attack +7 ability
come on, Toro isn't in ELO, methane does deal solid 7 damage, but on the strategic side, hriger is a much bigger threat,
rate up if you agree
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Tuesday 25/09/2012, 04:12
Nice topic!
I think X-0 is overpriced, but not overrated. His most valuable contribution is being a heavy hit that you can't use ability DR on. That combined with his clan's pill recovery makes him a deadly opener -- you can't just ignore him, but if you pill too hard and he turns out to have been a bluff, you're in big trouble.
I think Arkn is overrated. He is in almost every way worse than Z3R0 D34D, and I can't for the life of me figure out why he's banned... Especially now that Draheera is gone, and there is less reason to run mono GHEIST.
I also think Bogdan is overrated. His high power and SoA just seem to scare people a bit, but let's face it... Unassisted 8 power is not impossible to beat. I think that Grudj, Olga, and even Baldovino are harder cards to deal with, because they can secure a 1st round win without handing your opponent a large pill advantage. Bogdan is just a shot in the dark that you have to hope your opponent doesn't read.
MobiusWyrm Titan Iron Lords Tuesday 25/09/2012, 04:43
I don't think anyone said that Snowflake wasn't a threat, but that you you weren't giving Praxie enough credit. He sits in the top for my Skeelz choice, because he is stable.
Cortez is ridiculous, he is an 8/8, and the only one that isn't ELO banned. He is also rare, Nahema is common. The market price isn't about how awesome a card is, though it helps.
Judging the hype about a card based on market price isn't fair to the card, there are a few factors. Does it have a related mission? Does it have a good ability? Does it have good stats? How common is the card?
Nahema is in a clan with better 5* and keels over to SoA.
Cortez is in a clan where his only other major competition is Lizzy and Taylor, who are both quite average. Also, he gets better against SoA.
honestly, price doesnt mean being overrated. it just means some sly people decided to mess with the card.
wats_happenin Titan Casual Grind Tuesday 25/09/2012, 05:12
Praxie is very overrated. skeelz need cards that either
A. Force you to use alot of pillz to beat it. eg: Falkenstein, sasha, Sandro, chiara
B. Force you to either pill to beat or lose alot of life/ get hit with a nasty ability...eg: Jay/Greem/Snowflake
This is why cards like Tomas and Praxie don't fit into the clan....they require too many pillz to get an average amount of dmg in
The only time Praxie is totally better is vs a mono DR deck...and even then he has to pill to be good
X-0dus is a necessity to his clan...Dagg is no where near as good as him...he forces pillz whilst stopping your annoying ability
Melvin is overated to hell...I never use him! I prefer the other 3* available to Sentinel
Hriger is only currently expensive due to his crappy missions in new blood.
But if you want overrated check out Lizbeth....that is overrated
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Tuesday 25/09/2012, 07:12
Dagg is about as good x-0dus since x-0dus is courage based. and also soa can be from another clan if you run a half deck as well.
melvin is.... a good card slightly overrated. its the only major dr in his clan and dr+ attack manipulation can get quite annoying at times.
lizbeth.. yah overrated as hell.
and with your point on skeelz.. YES YOU ARE RIGHT. but jay is overrated though not only is it revenge based but 7 power isnt that attractive. yah praxie sux NEVER USE IT rather use danae.
although cortez is strong against soa, without soa he is simply 8/6 (without bonus) not as good as nahema.
What do you mean by overrated? Do you mean overpriced? I don't think an overpriced card = overrated card, as there are a few factors affecting the price of a card, e.g. CR speculation, commonness of the card, date of release etc. The price is just not always explained by how good the card is.
But honestly, price of Praxie is not easily explained.
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Tuesday 25/09/2012, 11:26
^ true but usually overpriced card is most often time an overrated card. OK sometimes its CR speculation but how do you explain something like x-0dus?
anyway arkn is actually a very good card if you have ever used him you will know how handy that -10 attack comes in (mostly because it takes opponent's 7 power card 2 pillz to beat him) and 4 damage is very threatening. but yah i dont think elo ban is necessary. z3r0 d34d isnt THAT great i mean you dont really want to spend pillz on 2 star cards anyway.
oh lol i remember cassendra used to be SO overrated. its not even CLOSE to being as good as dorian. just cuz they have the same stats it doesnt mean it compensates for cassendra 's stupidly useless bonus (7 damage contradicts with poison).

France: Ex-wife spent tons of money
NASCAR chief executive Brian France said in court documents that his former wife spent a "staggering" amount of his fortune on her family and friends. Megan France said her former husband spent little time with their two children and became verbally abusive when he didn't get his way.
Voluminous court documents unsealed Wednesday revealed new details about the couple's bitter second divorce, years after the contentious 2008 breakup. France's lawyers had fought for years to keep the records confidential.
France married the Charlotte woman twice and they divorced twice. Their first marriage lasted from 2001 to 2004. They married again in 2005 and the second divorce was finalized in 2008.
Several news organizations fought to unseal the documents, arguing those were public records, and a North Carolina appeals court last year agreed. So on Wednesday, 3,000 pages of documents were released, including dozens of court motions, depositions and emails.
According to statements in open court, the couple's 2008 separation agreement included paying Megan France $9 million, alimony of $32,000 a month for 10 years and $10,000 a month in child support.
Telephone messages left by The Associated Press with the law firms representing each weren't immediately returned Wednesday.
A NASCAR spokesman told The AP on Wednesday evening that the organization doesn't comment on lawsuits.
The unsealed records showed Brian France is wealthy.
A 2005 financial statement included in the court documents show he had $564 million in total assets – including stock and real estate – and that he was likely to inherit "substantial wealth from his parents," which could exceed $1 billion. Founded by his grandfather, NASCAR is a multibillion dollar business and one of the most popular sports in the world.
But the records also show Brian France continued to fight after he agreed to the deal with his former wife.
Megan said she was the primary caregiver for their twin children born in 2006.
She said in the records that she was trying to create a stable home for them in Charlotte, while France spent most of his time in Daytona Beach, Fla., the headquarters for NASCAR.
"Brian has demanded that I make the children available whenever and wherever he desires," she said in a March 2, 2011 affidavit. "He expects me and the children to be at his `beck and call' regardless of the specific terms of the agreement."
She said that when she doesn't agree, he takes actions to "punish me," including withholding money.
In one case, court records claim Brian France failed to pay $52,000 in governess expenses from August 2008 through February 2009. He also failed to give her $3 million that she was due on Jan. 1, 2009, according to the records.
"Brian becomes verbally abusive when I will not follow his dictates…I believe Brian is continuing to try to punish me for not being willing to change the terms we agreed to in the agreement because he is now unhappy with them," she said in the documents.
But France, in a Sept. 27, 2008, email to Megan told her he was unhappy with the way she spent money.
He said in the court documents that she spent a staggering amount of money over the years on her friends and family.
The documents also indicated that France, who has remarried, had hired a private investigator to look into his former wife's whereabouts.
He also claimed in the documents that she violated terms of their confidentiality agreement by talking to their friends about the settlement and making disparaging remarks about him.

Understanding the Medical Situation
Having advanced heart failure does not mean you have run out of treatment options. In fact, the growing selection of therapies and state-of-the-art technologies for advanced heart failure has made decision making more challenging.
This is where shared decision making helps. Your doctor knows your medical situation best and can narrow down treatment possibilities to the most appropriate options for you. Together, you sort through the options and consider how each treatment fits into your priorities and life goals.
"If patients can go through the process of what their goals are for life, especially as they approach the end of life, they can then think about how specific treatments fit into those and whether they should or should not pursue them," said Larry A. Allen, M.D., M.H.S., heart failure specialist at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center.
Implantable defibrillators are a good example, Allen said. For a patient who wants to live as long as possible, a defibrillator may reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death by shocking a fluttering heart (also known as ventricular fibrillation) back to its normal beat. But for patients who have expressed the desire to die in their sleep, a defibrillator may not be the best option.
"Working through those scenarios and identifying what the preferences are for the end of life actually helps frame the discussion around whether a defibrillator is appropriate or not," Allen said. "Defibrillators are great, but they're not the right answer for everybody."
Knowing the Treatment Options
Advanced heart failure can't be cured, but it can be treated. Treatments can reduce your symptoms and help your heart pump as best it can. But with benefits come risks, which you should discuss in detail with your doctor before choosing a treatment.
Sometimes, patients don't fully understand the possible side effects or tradeoffs of a treatment before deciding whether they actually want it, Allen said. A mechanical heart pump, for example, can help the heart pump better and relieve congestion-related symptoms such as shortness of breath. Patients may live longer and have a better quality of life as a result. But the pump, known as a left ventricular assist device, increases the risk of infection, stroke and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
Even if the risks aren't a deterrent, patients must consider that an electrical cord connects the pump to a power source worn outside the body on a belt or harness. "That, in itself, is a disease where you always have to be plugged in," Allen said. "People need to recognize there are tradeoffs in the treatment decisions they make." At some hospitals, palliative care specialists are called in to help patients make big medical decisions, such as whether to receive an LVAD.
Unfolding science is suggesting that cognitive and other concerns may need to be discussed and monitored as part of the treatment plan. Explore the possible benefits and risks of each therapy with your doctor and work together to decide what treatment you need now and what you may need in the future.

Titan Maximum: Season One (US - DVD R1)
Gabe winds up his robot mecha...and punches the #&%@ out of this review...
Titan Maximum is clearly made by the same people that made Robot Chicken, in the same way Futurama is clearly made by (some of) the same people that made The Simpsons, and American Dad is clearly made by the people that made Family Guy. It's not a total rehash, it's more like successful branding. Series creators Tom Root, Matthew Senreich and Seth Green continue exploring their favourite themes, including pop-culture nostalgia, geek lifestyles and celebrity behavior, but the serialized narrative structure is the big change of pace, and it opens the writing staff up to actual character development. The tempo is still extraordinarily quick, and each episode is generally too short to allow the storytelling the proper breathing room, but moving away from the sketch comedy stylings of their original show is a step in the right direction for this particular team. Have no fear, Robot Chicken fans, the character based comedy and running gags are meant to support the writers gross-out humour, silly puns, and brutal sarcasm.
Most unpredictable is the fact that the arching season plot would be reasonably entertaining even without the comedy. Root, Senriech and Green spoof with real love, and one gets the feeling that they're using their solid comedic history as the bedrock for a solidly plotted parody of/homage to Mecha/Super Sentai shows. Perhaps remarking on the outmoded nature of the genre, the series takes place after the heyday of the Titan Maximum team. Following a series of budget cuts the expensive mech (which connects in five pieces just like Voltron) was dismantled, and team was disbanded. In the interim three surviving team members – Commander Palmer (Breckin Meyer), Lt. Jodi Yanarella (Rachael Leigh Cook) and Lt. Junior Grade Sasha Caylo (Eden Espinosa) – generally live off their celebrity (which leads to plenty of Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton type jokes). Then a giant lava monster attacks the capital city of Titan, and the universe once again requires the services of a giant, groin punching robot. Palmer's fanboy little brother Willie Palmer (Dan Milano) and Leon the monkey janitor (whose wordless, curmudgeony presence is actually one of the more regularly hilarious elements) fill the void of the two missing team members, and help to save the day. The monster is revealed to be under the control of ex-Titan team member Lt. Gibson "Gibbs" Giberstein (Seth Green), who has turned into a supervillain with revenge based plans for utter solar system domination.
The animation quality is a solid upgrade on the Robot Chicken base, in terms of both general production values, and the intricacies of character movement. I'm sure that designing stop motion puppets with specific animation goals in mind rather than recycling toys makes the whole process much easier, as does the more limited character and set base, but the overall look is cleaner, and the agile motion is comparable to feature film stop motion work, especially the eye movements (these sets and puppets are reportedly much larger than those used for most Robot Chicken sketches). Equally impressive is the upgrade in camera movement, which is more dynamic than even the best Robot Chicken work, and perfectly comparable to live-action handheld work. A few well executed focus pulls are the icing on the improvement cake. The production team also takes stronger strides into CG animation, and have found the correct balance between the two mediums. It's still obvious enough when a CG augmentation is included in the mix, but the overall blend is seamless enough. Titan Maximum has raised the bar for television stop motion animation to near feature film levels, which is both a reason to celebrate, and a reason to pity the production team, who now have some big expectations to live up to.
Adult Swim misses yet another chance to release an HD transfer, even though this standard definition DVD is about as good as we can expect from the format. Titan Maximum is a huge upgrade on Robot Chicken in the transfer department thanks to the preparation made for the HD broadcasts ( Robot Chicken was shot for SD), and the repeatable character and background designs, which just look generally neat. The colour palette takes its cues from primary coated '80s Anime, and the bright hues are relatively sharply produced, with minimal blooming and blocking. Besides the colourful costumes and props, each set and planet features a key hue, culminating in the incredibly incandescent reds of Mercury, which could've easily turned into a mess of compression noise had this not been such a sharp transfer. The lilac and orange contrasts aren't even muddied, though the hard edges are softened a bit. Details levels aren't exactly incredible after years of hi-def transfer for comparison, but there are plenty of fine textures and busy compositions.
Every episode of Titan Maximum (following the pilot) starts with a literal bang, and an aggressive rock/techno opening title theme, which itself features more explosions. Adult Swim thankfully opts for a full Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix to fully explore the immersive sound design. Some of the sound effects are spatially misplaced for some reason, for example, a character will slam his fist on a table in the direct center of the screen, and the sound will come from the right. For the most part directional effects do work however, from big, explosive space fights, to whooshing fistfights, and even subtle vocal movements. My personal favourite moment of surround sound design comes early in the first episode with 'archive video footage' of Spud Cunningham (the original green 'ranger') falling to his death from a very tall building. The only complaint I can muster is that some of the vocal performances get a little screechy at high volumes, which is very likely a side effect of overzealous actors overwhelming the microphone.
Though it's not listed on the back of the box, or under the extras menu, or under the set-up menu, there is at least one audio commentary track per episode. These can only be found by selecting each episode, one by one on the episode selection menu. Creators Seth Green, Chris McKay, and Tim Root are featured on every single episode, occasionally joined by composer Shawn Patterson, cast members Breckin Meyer, Billy Dee Williams, Eden Espinosa, Dan Milano, Hugh Davidson, Rachael Leigh Cook, Edie McClurg, Kevin Shinick, and Abraham Benrubi. These follow the lead set by numerous Robot Chicken commentaries. Some commentators contribute a whole lot more than others, and the creators have to prod some of the actors, but for the most part these tracks are fun, and just informative enough. Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 feature addition crew commentaries where Chris McKay moderates various collections of crew members, including Specer Laudiero, Jeff Matsuda, Ross Shuman, Rosa Tran, Bryan Gaver, Andrew Racho, Kyle Arneson, Nick Mariana, Laurie Olson, David Tuber, Savelen Forrest, Elizabeth Harvatine, Ethan Marak, Sihanouk Moriona, Trisha Gum, Tom Keiser, Jeanette Moffat, and Rob Ronning. These tracks are a more technical minded, and a bit more focused, though clearly not as much fun. I actually recommend watching both tracks in most cases for fans.
Under the 'Anatomy of a Sequence' menu are a series of choices including 'Animatic', 'First Assembly', 'Rough Cut', 'Final Visual Effects', 'Final Sound Effects', 'Final Music' and the completed sequence. I recommend hitting the 'play-all' option. The 40 second sequence is run through all seven times, equating about 4:40 total. This is followed by a general look behind the scenes (15:20). This section includes interviews with the cast and crew, who run down both the general history of the show, along with a list of reasons they were excited to work on the show, and some basic production details. The interviews are augmented with behind the scenes footage of the production meetings, visual development, set construction, CG animation, and recording sessions. 'Crew Mugshots' (1:30) is quite literally a series of staged mugshots of the show's crew set to select pieces of the show's score. The disc also features 20 deleted animatics with creator introductions (17:10), four 'Design Showcase' narrated slideshows (32:10), an 'Episode Re-Dub' (a commentary track where the actors 're-dub' an episode), a look behind the scenes of a read-through (2:20), and five trailers.
Titan Maximum is another Adult Swim series that deserves a wider audience, and its apparent production cost could keep the channel from ordering any more episodes. The creators claim they have at least five seasons of ideas, and personally I'd like to see them get the chance to continue building up this wacky little universe, rather than going back to the fish in a barrel gags of Robot Chicken. There's nothing wrong with Robot Chicken, but this series feels like its building somewhere, possibly even to more original series with narrative arcs, and well rounded characters. Maybe even, gasp, something dramatic. A Blu-ray release would be ideal, since the show is prepped with high definition in mind, but this standard definition DVD looks and sounds pretty good considering. The extras are plentiful, informative and entertaining.

ZAUGG - Setting Standards in Terrain Park Design & High Volume Snow Clearance
Half Pipe DesignLooking to build massive new features in your terrain park? Using a Zaugg Pipe Monster or Pipe Designer Inline is the industry standard tool, having built half pipes and quarter pipes for the winter X-Games, US Open, USA Nationals, Winter Olympics and many, many more events around the world.
The Zaugg's cutting power can quickly build half pipes, and it's unique elliptical shape makes features safe for riders of all levels.
Snow ClearanceThe more official side of Zaugg produces machines that are all work and no play - municipal snow blowers from small to large, as well as snow plows with a unique trip edge system. These machines are designed to remove large amounts of snow quickly, safely and efficiently.
Mounted on vehicles from small single axle tractors to large loaders, Zaugg snow clearance equipment tackle snow from sidewalks to runways, and are built to be dependable and require little maintenance.
A Little History
Original Zaugg Factory
Factory in Eggiwil, SwitzerlandZaugg Ag Eggiwil is an agriculture/snow removal machine company located in the heart of Switzerland. The company started building wooden mould-board plows over 120 years ago. Since then Zaugg has built a wide range of products. In the past 80 years, Zaugg focused its technical expertise in the field of snow removal.
First Self Contained Snow Blower
The ZAUGG Snow BlowerThrough many studies and test trials, the engineers at Zaugg and a Swiss University were able to make a 2-stage snow blower that has the maximum snow moving ability per horsepower. These studies focused on the size and shape of the turbine, using water to test distance. The result is a highly engineered snow blower that is dependable and safe.
Zaugg Pipe Monster
Half Pipe DesignIn the early '90s, ZAUGG engineers saw the current state of half pipe building and looked to transform the industry using their expertise with snow removal. What resulted is a world class half pipe groomer known as the Pipe Monster.
ZAUGG in the USZaugg first ventured to the United States many years ago to introduce their snow blowers to the harsh conditions of the Lake Tahoe region in California. Today, these same snow blowers can still be found there working diligently through the severe winter storms that frequent the area.
In 1999, PBL Enterprises, Inc became the North American distributor of Zaugg equipment, and soon brought in the half pipe groomers to transform the US ski industry. Zaugg machines in North America are fully serviced and parts are stocked locally. Parts can be shipped overnight and a service technician on site if needed.

Juris Scientiae Doctoris (JSD) Program
The WashULaw JSD program is designed for attorneys pursuing a career in academia, policy, or scholarly legal research. The JSD program is very small and is focused on exceptional candidates with a sophisticated scholarly focus. The JSD degree program requires 2 years of residency on campus in St. Louis, Missouri and typically takes an additional year or more to complete.
If you are interested in a broad-based understanding of the U.S. legal system or in developing a specialty in a particular area, please contact our Admissions Office to discuss the LLM programs.
Typically JSD students take courses during their first year of residency with the option of earning an LL.M. at the end of that year. (If a student already has an LLM, a second LLM is not required but is allowed). Those students may still take courses during their first year as auditors. If an entering JSD student has already earned an LL.M. that student will be able to audit courses during their first year. J.S.D. students pay two years of tuition. Beyond the second year, students are required to pay a continuation or administrative fee (approximately $3,000) until they finish their degree program. The expectation is that the program will take 2-3 years to complete but must be completed in no more than five years.
Year 1 Residency - LLM Coursework: During the first year of residency, each JSD student must complete course work sufficient to earn an LLM degree at WashULaw. JSD students may elect to pursue coursework in any of the LLM programs offered by WashULaw, allowing students to choose between broad exposure to US Law and pursuing a specialty in a particular substantive area. JSD admissions advisors are available to assist prospective JSD students in identifying the most beneficial LLM degree path.
Continuation to the second year of residency in the JSD program is contingent upon successful completion of the coursework for an LLM degree.
Year 2 Residency - JSD Research and Dissertation: In the second year of residency in the JSD program, JSD students focus on refining and advancing their dissertation proposals with the assistance of an assigned Faculty Advisor. The JSD program emphasizes original research and writing culminating in the preparation of a significant and extensive dissertation of publishable quality. In consultation with the Faculty Advisor, each JSD student will identify any advantageous additional coursework; however, additional coursework is not a requirement of the program.
The J.S.D. dissertation should demonstrate not just awareness of a body of material but also synthesis of that material into a rigorous high quality analysis. It should be a work that, when published, will contribute to the field.
JSD Dissertation Committee: Following admission to the J.S.D. program, the J.S.D. Admissions Committee will appoint a Dissertation Committee. Each Dissertation Committee is made up of at least three members, and the chair of the committee serves as the primary Faculty Advisor to the JSD candidate.
The dissertation must be completed and accepted by the candidate's Dissertation Committee within (a) five years of receipt of the LL.M. degree, for students who obtain their LL.M. from Washington University Law; or (b) five years after admission to the J.S.D. program. All J.S.D. candidates will be expected to defend their dissertation vive voce. In extenuating circumstances, a dissertation can also be defended via a videoconference or similar computer facilitated meeting.
To file an application for admission to the JSD program, an applicant must have earned a first degree in law from another country or a JD and demonstrate academic and scholarly distinction. Applicants are expected to possess significant knowledge in the area of scholarly interest prior to beginning the JSD degree program.
Application Materials
A successful application will include:
- Application
- Dissertation Proposal
- Letter of Recommendation from faculty advisor/mentor/professor of the school where studied law
- Official transcripts and English translations of transcripts from the applicant's first degree in law
DO NOT CONTACT LAW FACULTY ON YOUR OWN ABOUT BEING AN ADVISOR. If admitted to
the JSD program, the program administrators will match you with an appropriate faculty
Application for the JSD program is a rolling review and admission process (applications are reviewed as they are received, throughout the academic year). You are encouraged to submit your application as early as possible. JSD students begin their studies in August of each academic year.

That's why I take the time just to pray at mom's dinner
Cause I remember, cold nights not the winter
Not the weather, I'm talk about within us
Cause for that money, sins they get committed
And friends they get to splittin', divided just like division
So eryday that I wake up, my undivided attention
It goes to getting my cake up and staying out of the prisons
The system made me stronger
And being broke just gave me my hunger
I'm gone!
Nigga like me I walk around, fear no man

E'ry nigga you see around me
That's the niggas that's with me, unless they in jail or dead or something

[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Elizabeth Richards] Sci-fi/fantasy and horror loving geek girl. Wants to be a Gryffindor, but knows in her heart she's a Hufflepuff. Four is my book boyfriend.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Black City?
[Elizabeth Richards] Here's the official blurb, which sums it up best!
A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war
In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable — they fall in love.
Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash's long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they're caught they'll be executed —but their feelings are too strong.
When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Elizabeth Richards] It all started with Ash. His character came to me, fully formed, while I was watching a movie one night. I just couldn't shift this idea of a drug-dealing, supernatural boy who gets a heartbeat when he meets his true love. As soon as the movie finished, I wrote a scene between Ash and his best friend Beetle. Everything else fell into place organically after that. I've always been drawn to the gothic and dark, and many of my all-time favorite books have dystopian settings, so it was inevitable this would be the world I would put Ash and Natalie in.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Ash?
[Elizabeth Richards] Dark, sexy, dangerous.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Natalie had a theme song, what would it be?
[Elizabeth Richards] Girl by Tori Amos.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Natalie won't leave the house without.
[Elizabeth Richards] Her bodyguard (but that's not her choice).
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Ash's pocket?
[Elizabeth Richards] Anything silver (he's allergic), gum (it gets stuck in his fangs), girls' telephone numbers (it's illegal for him to date humans).
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Elizabeth Richards] I'm at my most creative when I'm staying in my family's home in Co. Sligo, Ireland. Our home is in a beautiful fishing village, which has stunning views of Donegal Bay and Ben Bulben (the mountain referenced in W. B. Yeats' poem 'Under Ben Bulben).The place just has a wild, gothic, and romantic feel about it, and there's a lot of rich history and folklore around there, which I find very inspirational. Plus there's no cell-phone reception, or internet connection at the house, so it's very peaceful. I wrote the first draft of Black City there, actually!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Elizabeth Richards] Laptop, Pepsi Max, solitude.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Elizabeth Richards] Divergent by Veronica Roth. It was utterly superb. I devoured the book in a few hours, and then immediately re-read it. The characters were brilliantly developed, the world was fresh and exciting, the action was thrilling, and Four…oh, Four! *swooooon* I think my faction would be Dauntless, or possibly Candor, given that I'm a terrible liar.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Elizabeth Richards] To be honest, I don't recall one specific book as a kid that got me into reading—it just seemed to be something we did in our family, and was always a big part of my life. But the most influential and life-changing book I've ever read was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I'm a huge fan of the series, and it's been a big part of my life for all these years.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Elizabeth Richards] I enjoy drawing, watching sci-fi TV shows with my hubbie, and going out for dinner with my friends. Occasionally, I like going to gigs as well, but I haven't had the opportunity to go to one for a while. Hoping to get to Download next year!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
[Elizabeth Richards] You can send me a message via the contact form on my website (http://officialelizabethrichards.com), or I can be found on Facebook (facebook.com/OfficialElizabethRichards), and on Twitter (https://twitter.com/theredpenofdoom)!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Thank you!
Elizabeth had one more thing to say, and you are going to love it!

Groove Coaster Review
Groove Coaster can't be called just a rhythm game. Sure, it has the same concept of games like Rock Band or Tap Tap Revenge, but it also uses psychedelic environments and elements akin to platforming games. The result is a mesmerizing laser show of both sight and sound in a game with more depth than you first might expect.
Groove Coaster is the brainchild of TAITO, a developer who also released Space Invaders Infinity Gene. In many ways, Groove Coaster is the Mario Kart to Infinity Gene's Super Mario. Elements, like characters and songs, of the arcade classic are present in this new game, but they take on new meaning in this new world. The games look almost identical, relying on simple lines and dynamic color to create astounding levels.
The objective of the game, like other rhythm games, is to tap in time with the song, with that specific beat visually represented by a button on screen. Unlike other rhythm games, your onscreen avatar goes to these beats, rather than waiting for them to come to you. Groove Coaster also has simplified the beats. There is no scale of notes to tap. Instead there is only one, universal beat, but you must learn how to tap the screen to earn the points.
In space, you can't hear yourself groove.
The majority of these beats require a simple tap anywhere on the screen. Based on the difficulty of the track, you may have one or multiple beats in sequence to hit. You receive a score based on how in-time your tap was, and the more beats you hit in a row, the higher your score.
Some beats are more difficult. For instance, some will require you to swipe your finger across the screen, and others will fly in from nowhere and land in your path. Trickier beats will require you to vigorously tap or hold your finger down on the screen.
An ingenious addition to this mechanic is the ad lib system, which encourages you to tap when no beat appears, but where you feel it is in time with the track. There is no penalty for tapping out of place, but if you find a hidden ad lib beat, you are rewarded with bonus points. These ad libs encourage you to explore old tracks and trust your musical instincts rather than your screen.
A high tech connect-the-dots.
The further you get into the game, the more there is to do. As you play through each track, you earn experience and level up. Leveling up unlocks new avatars. Avatars are your little characters, which glide along the path towards each beat. And each avatar has its own perk. Some help increase your points, while others guide you through difficult tracks.
Your avatar moves along a path, on which wait the beats for you to tap. The path itself curves and loops, changing your view of the incoming beats. Just like Infinity Gene, the game uses simple line-based graphics that don't look like much in screenshots, but they're gorgeous in action. Each track features amazing background objects, which can interact with your path to create an experience uncommon to rhythm games.
If the game has one downfall, it's that the soundtrack isn't for everyone. It's mostly Japanese techno, and the tracks can be hit and miss. Like most other music games, your enjoyment is tied closely into the quality of the songs, and while most songs are fun and will have your head bobbing, one or two are a little less than pleasing to the ear. These songs may not be everyone, but there are plenty of rhythm games out there for anyone wanting more poppy music.
From the moment we opened this app, we were hooked. The amount of polish, ingenuity, and depth put into every level of this game has us very impressed. Quite frankly, we can't wait to see what TAITO comes out with next.

Invictus Foundation™ Receives Grant from Genentech, a Member of the Roche Group
Nonprofit organization will use funds to extend its efforts in helping military members, veterans and their families through its Welcome Home Network program
Jan 23, 2013, 08:30 ET
SEATTLE, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Invictus Foundation™, a national nonprofit organization offering one on one and family behavioral health counseling services with licensed behavioral health providers to active duty military, National Guard, Reserve forces, veterans of Iraq, Afghanistan and their families regardless of their ability to pay announces a grant from Genentech to scale its Welcome Home Network program and services.
"Through Genentech's generosity we will continue to raise awareness about the psychological impact of war, to reduce stigma, and to raise awareness about the Welcome Home Network™ program and services," said Peter J. Whalen, Founder and CEO of the Invictus Foundation.™ "With Genentech's support we can extend our efforts to help military members, veterans and their families. This grant will help us continue our work to normalize what our military members, veterans and their families are experiencing and support the sacrifices that they are making by providing critical and confidential behavioral health services regardless of their ability to pay.
"The principal issues confronting this Community are lack of access, lack of services and finally lack of health care benefits. The first two have nothing to do with health care benefits but rather lack of an understanding of referral sources, fragmentation within the referral sources themselves and the lack of a unified informatics platform specifically designed to help them find the resources. The Invictus Foundation's Welcome Home Network program and services and its informatics platform have been designed to fill that void," states Mr. Whalen. "By providing services that are separate from the military establishment, the Welcome Home Network™ offers an essential option for men and women who might otherwise fail to seek or receive appropriate services."

SAN JOSE, Calif. >> Joe Pavelski scored in the shootout and Antti Niemi stopped all three attempts to help the San Jose Sharks beat the Ducks 4-3 on Saturday night.
Logan Couture scored his first goal in eight games. Patrick Marleau and Marty Havlat also scored for the Sharks, who finished a season-long five-game homestand unbeaten and won their eighth in nine overall.
Corey Perry, Alex Grant and Ben Lovejoy scored for the Ducks, who had won three of their past four.
Niemi stopped 28 of 31 shots for his 15th win. Jonas Hiller saved 32 shots in taking the loss.
The Ducks have lost six of their past seven road games.
Lovejoy tied it at 16:54 of the third with his first goal of the season, though he has three points in his past four games.
Nick Bonino won a faceoff in the Sharks zone, tapped the puck to Lovejoy, who shot it to the right corner.
Hiller stopped all 12 shots he faced in the first period, including several outstanding saves.
Perry gave the Ducks the early advantage with a shot into the upper right corner 5:56 into the game. Ryan Getzlaf gave him a terrific pass to set up the goal.
Niemi had a solid second period, allowing the Sharks to take the lead.
Couture tied the game at 4:16 of the second. He redirected a shot from Marc-Edouard Vlasic over Hiller's glove. The goal ended a season-long goal scoring drought for the center.
The Sharks took advantage of an poor pass from Hiller to score an easy goal midway through the period for the go-ahead goal.
Hiller came out of the net to clear the puck, but flared it to Marleau's stick, who played give-and-go with Joe Thornton and scored into an empty net at 10:13.
Havlat picked up a rebounded shot and tipped it into the net with less than a minute remaining to put the Sharks up 3-1 entering the final period.
Grant, playing in his first NHL game, scored his first goal with 7:10 remaining in the third to bring the Ducks within 3-2. The defenseman took a shot that Niemi blocked with his right shoulder but was unable to control as it flipped in the air behind him and into the net.
Getzlaf recorded a point in his 10th straight game, his longest streak in four years.

Catherine Austin: Serving others
Catherine Austin has energized the foodservice department at the Memphis VA Medical Center by:
- fostering an environment for learning by creating an employee computer lab in the kitchen
- encouraging her staff to take on new projects such as a chef of the month program
- starting initiatives such as a dietetic internship program and reworking the ER meal service
- improving patient satisfaction scores by working on customers service with the department's tray deliverers
In his second Inaugural Address, one month before the Civil War ended, President Abraham Lincoln called on Americans, "to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan." That phrase, the basis of the Department of Veterans Affairs' mission statement, is something Catherine Austin, R.D., chief, nutrition and food services for the 270-bed Memphis VA Medical Center, takes to heart.
Austin's approach to providing the best customer service to the veterans she serves starts with her own staff and making sure they have the best training and opportunities for advancement.
Employees matter: Kimberly Thomas, R.D., clinical specialist dietitian, says, "Ms. Austin encourages her staff to take leadership courses, seminars and attend conferences in order to better themselves. She encourages employees to apply for internal promotions versus hiring candidates from outside. She helps employees develop their career goals and is always willing to listen to new ideas."
One way Austin helps develop her staff is through the medical center's educational services, which offers training programs, including a School At Work program that teaches employees basics in math and reading. "We are very dedicated to making sure that our employees are included in classes just like everyone else in the medical center," Austin says. "In food services you can't say, 'I'm going to put this file aside and come back to it in an hour after I finish my class.'"
Austin says she encouraged her employees to participate in these educational opportunities, but no one took advantage of them because they either didn't want to leave their fellow employees short-staffed or because they were intimidated by the program, particularly computers. To allay that fear, Austin set up an employee computer lab in the kitchen.
Austin says her employees were still hesitant to use the computers. So the department used its high school and college student workers to help Austin's older employees learn how to use the computers. "[The lab] gave them the skills to do a better job in [food services] and have the skills they need to go outside [the department]," Austin says.
Equipped with computer skills and with Austin's encouragement, several food services employees are either enrolled or have completed the medical center's educational classes.
Team building: "To me, this award is really foodservice department of the month because I don't do anything by myself," Austin says. "Even if it's something that only I can do, I will still try to pull someone else in to help me with it or mentor them so that when it's their turn they can do it."
Under Austin's leadership—she has been the chief since 2004—the food services department has implemented many new programs, most of which have been completed under the helm of one of Austin's dietitians.
"We have a really good department and everyone participates and contributes," Austin says. "I might have a germ of an idea and throw it out there, and [the staff] runs with it. It's all about finding the right resources, helping to break down the barriers or challenges and keeping [the staff] positive and focused."
One of those programs was "chef of the month." Although the hospital doesn't yet have a professional chef, Austin decided she would help her cooks get in a chef's frame of mind by allowing them to be the "chef" of the month. Any food services employee can be the chef. That person is given one day to serve a lunch menu they've created. A card with the "chef's" name, bio, photo and meal explanation is included on each patient tray.

(CNN) -- Brazilian star Kaka expects to be joined by fellow world 'Galacticos' as Real Madrid president Florentino Perez constructs a Spanish Primera Liga side that he hopes will rule supreme.
Brazilian superstar Kaka expects to the first of several 'Galaticos' joining Spanish giants Real Madrid.
World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo would join $100 million signing Kaka at the Bernabeu tomorrow if Perez had his way. So, too, would the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Villa.
"Real Madrid intend to build a great team, along with historic players such as Raul and Casillas," said Kaka. "We will make history again, both in Spain and Europe. I guess the sporting project is very good. The world's 20 most wanted footballers.
"The president is already making contact (with potential signings) and is putting together a competitive team, one which will try to once again become champions. That's why I chose Madrid."
Perez wants Real to rediscover the flair, verve and artistry that once made them the most celebrated club in world football.
He recently returned for a second spell as president and the arrival of midfielder Kaka confirmed that he will again pursue the policy that snared the likes of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham.
Manchester United forward Ronaldo clearly tops the wanted list and according to PA Sport Perez told Onda Cero and Radio Marca: "I will do everything possible to get Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Kaka is the first signing."
Quizzed about reports that United have allowed Ronaldo to sign a pre-contract with Madrid, he added: "I have read about this but I have been at this club a week and not seen anything about this."
He added: "What I want the most is to keep good relationships with other clubs. The only thing I have done is ensure we follow the path Santiago Bernabeu marked out for us; (signing) the best players in the world (Alfredo Di Stefano), the best in Spain (Amancio) and, with them, the best from the youth set-up (Raul)."
Indications are it will be a summer of change at Madrid with nine players likely to be on their way out. "(The squad) has 28 players. We can bring in six new and only register 25," he said.
Perez, meanwhile, told Sky Italia: "We are always thinking about great players. Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are among other great players around the world. All the latest transfer gossip and speculation.
"We all know that these are players that we would like to buy but they can't all come."
The comments will not be too well received at United's Old Trafford and Perez insisted any move for Ronaldo would be done via the right channels.
"Ronaldo is a great player who we would like to bring to the club, but first we have to speak to Manchester United because the important thing is for us to maintain a good rapport with everyone," he said.
Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic is another target, although Madrid may have to compete with arch rivals Barcelona for the Sweden international, while Villa has also been earmarked.
Spanish daily Marca claim Perez has an agreement in place with Villa's club Valencia, whose financial position means they are unlikely to reject an offer which comes close to their valuation.

Part of the Butz Broadway Performance Series
Sponsored by: The Morning Call
Nominated for 7 Tony Awards, Best Musical, Best Featured Actor in a Musical, three nominations for Best Featured Actress In a Musical, Best Choreography and Best Direction of a Musical, Smokey Joe's Cafe is a musical revue showcasing 39 pop standards written by songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller won a Grammy award in 1996. In revue format with no unifying theme the songs are presented by various members of the cast in various combinations, with no dialogue.
Leiber and Stoller's initial successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as "Hound Dog" and "Kansas City." Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include "Young Blood," "Searchin'," and "Yakety Yak." They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in "There Goes My Baby" and influencing Phil Spector who worked with them on recordings of the Drifters and Ben E. King. Leiber and Stoller went into the record business and, focusing on the "girl group" sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period.
They wrote hits including "Love Me", "Loving You", "Don't", "Jailhouse Rock", and "King Creole", among others, for Elvis Presley.
The pair were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
In the 1950s the rhythm and blues of the black entertainment world, up to then restricted to black clubs, was increasing its audience-share in areas previously reserved for traditional pop music, and the phenomenon now known as "crossover" became apparent.
Leiber and Stoller affected the course of modern popular music in 1957 when they wrote and produced the crossover double-sided hit by The Coasters, "Young Blood"/"Searchin'." They released "Yakety Yak," which was a mainstream hit, as was the follow-up, "Charlie Brown." This was followed by "Along Came Jones," "Poison Ivy," "Shoppin' for Clothes," and "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)."
They produced and co-wrote "There Goes My Baby," a hit for The Drifters in 1959, which introduced the use of strings for saxophone-like riffs, a tympani for the Brazilian baion rhythm they incorporated, and lavish production values into the established black R&B sound, laying the groundwork for the soul music that would follow.
In 2009, Simon & Schuster published Hound Dog: The Leiber and Stoller Autobiography, written by Leiber and Stoller with David Ritz.

Liam Neeson Goes on 'Sportscenter,' Knows Nothing About Football
Liam Neeson is a man who loves danger, which would explain why he went on 'Sportscenter' despite having no knowledge of football. The best part is when he asks to start over (they're live), or maybe it's when he drops an s-bomb, or maybe it's when he admits he's only seen two football games in his life. Brilliant work, Mr. Neeson.
