After reading many a review, asking the opinions of several professional and semi-pro bassists that I've come to know, and finally trying it in person (with my own bass, of course - as a general rule if purchasing a substantial or important piece of gear I bring one of my custom or highly-modified basses with me so that I know what the item will sound like using *my bass* as opposed to one pulled off the store wall that's not close to what I use, I made the decision to replace my "Ultra-Large DIGItal Effects Corporation�̣ۡ�" Bass Chorus (which, to be fair I got during a promotion after purchasing another, far better and usable product) with T-Rex's "The Sweeper" Bass Chorus... and I've been incredibly happy with my decision since and for the following reasons... I've found over the years and during the ever-increasing growth of my "tonal palate" that it's far better to purchase an item that does *1* thing excellent rather then a *multitude* of things with mediocre success. In this case, I was replacing a Bass Chorus that had just under *20* "Chorus Voices", built-in "Voice Randomization" that automatically increases with the number of voices you are using, and dual outputs that let you either run your effected signal straight through to your amp or add speaker emulation for connecting directly to a mixing board in recording situations. ...except that none of these so-called "features" were of actual help in Real World situations. The combination of the multitude of "Chorus Voices" and "Voice Randomization" and increase with the amount of voices selected simply served to muddy the sound of my bass in a band setting to the point where notes were blurry, indistinct, and of no use whatsoever. The "Speaker Emulation" sounded like no Speaker Cabinet I'd ever owned, use or tried as well as the fact that any recording situation that has you plugging into a mixing board from a pedal not *specifically* made for that purpose will be a recording barely usable for demo purposes, nevermind any type of professional or releasable recording. To add insult to sonic injury, there was a decent amount of noise emanating from the pedal: what is generally known as "digital noise" when engaged as well as a general low-level "hum" when off and in my signal path. Now compare "The Sweeper" to the above pedal. It doesn't have double-digit "Chorus Voices", automatic Voice Randomization, or Speaker Emulation for recording Direct. What it DOES have is the relative simplicity of 3 knobs (Depth, Rate, and Volume) and the ability to go from a minor amount of "doubling" to a thick, lush chorus that still lets you be heard through the sonics of a heavy rock band. No hum or "digital noise", just a great chorus when engaged and a crystal clean "True Bypass" when not. And instead of a fairly unusable set of mono signal & "direct" outputs, the T-Rex gives to two honest-to-goodness outputs for Stereo Chorus if needed or a solid mono output if you're not running a stereo setup. Add an input jack and make sure that the pedal is built solidly which is is highly and that's far better than a load of functions that you'll end up not using and end up spoiling the one function it *should* do properly. That function is what the T-Rex "The Sweeper" Bass Chorus gives you, simply and with fantastic sonic quality. Some players might think one is trading down by removing all of the "functions" of the first chorus... however, after hearing The Sweeper most if not all will realize that choosing quality over quantity is the ultimate in trading up.
When i received this product and plugged it in, the LED light did not turn on. I tried it with a battery, adaptor, and through both outputs. NOTHING worked. SO I am returning this and buying ANALOGMAN Chorus. It might be GC's shipping or a bad product but I still won't buy it again.

GAINESVILLE - Two men with Gainesville addresses have been arrested on drug charges after they were caught in an undercover sting with $18,200 dollars worth of methamphetamine, according to Hall County authorities.
Hall County Multi Agency Narcotics Squad (MANS) Lt. Scott Ware said the sting took place Monday.
Ware identified the suspects as Enrique Octavio Arteaga-Talamante, 36, and Felipe Perez-Casillas, 33. Both men were booked into the Hall County Jail.
Ware said both men were charged with trafficking methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. Ware said Perez-Casillas was also charged with possession of cocaine, and immigration officials placed a hold on him, since he was found to be residing in the United States illegally.
Gainesville Police officers and Hall County Sheriff's deputies assisted in the operation.

Founded by Tammy Nguyen Lee of Dallas in 2006, the organization is also a nonprofit that uses media projects to raise funds for international orphanages. And last year, ATG added scholarships to support Asian-Americans.
A first-generation Vietnamese-American, Lee has long held an interest in orphans. In 2009, she made the documentary Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam.
Donations to ATG provide food and medical supplies to needy orphanages in Vietnam. ATG has volunteers in the country who distribute aid on a quarterly basis.
Lee's mother, Aileen Nguyen of Dallas, just returned from her annual summer trip to the country. While there, she distributed nearly $2,500 in aid and supplies on behalf of ATG. This year alone, ATG plans to give $13,600 to orphanages.
ATG is also reaching out to help orphans in Thailand for the first time, with plans to expand to other Asian countries.
Back in the States, ATG just awarded $7,000 in scholarships. U.S. Olympian Rebekah Kim of Fullerton, Calif., received the 2012 ATG Sunna Lee Leadership Scholarship. The 2012 ATG Artistic Scholarship went to Thoa Nguyen of Arlington and Britt Espinosa of Kingston, Wash.

Blog Wars Finale: Top 8 Most Emotional Moments
by, 12-25-2012 at 05:18 PM (16749 Views)
Welcome to the finale episode of Blog Wars. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for reading, voting and participating in all of the past Blog Wars over the last year and making it one of the most popular blogs on the site. I regret to say that this will be my last episode of the series due to my lack of time to dedicate to the blog and because I have covered a lot of the main topics already. For the finale it will be Rehmix vs bearkg88. Now let's move on to the main topic!
Top 8 Emotional Moments in WrestlingCriteria:
-Only on screen moments will count!
-Any form emotion counts, the writers are choosing moments that matter to them as a fan, the audience that night, and the wrestlers involved.
Top 8 Most Emotional Wrestling Moments
Just as a disclaimer, I have not done one of these Blog Wars things before, but I am honored that WF would allow me to participate in the finale! Further disclaimer, I know that some of these may not be very emotional, but stick it out and don't not vote for me because you don't enjoy the people/idea of the moment.
This list consists of the top 8 most emotional wrestling moments, with a few general honorable mentions sprinkled in, based on my own personal opinion. Some emotional moments maybe missing because there were several repeating themes that I wanted to avoid so I made sure to spread out the emotional moments over many themes. Example, I include the Owen Hart Tribute show on the list but do not include Eddie's or Benoit's tribute shows. These were both emotional, probably more than some of the others on this list but I did this to avoid repeats. The list consists of several moments that I have personally witnessed or moments that seem to have a major amount of emotion within them that I was not around for. So let's get this list started with number 8...
#8 - Rey Winning Title after Eddie's Death
When Eddie Guerrero died, many people took the loss hard. Many of his family members were apart of WWE and they were feeling the loss, along with one of Eddie's closest friends, Rey Mysterio. Five months after Eddie's death at Wrestlemania 22, Mysterio beat then Champion Kurt Angle and Randy Orton, the latter using disparaging remarks about Guerrero a mere months after his death leading up to the match. Mysterio pinned Orton to win the championship and celebrated along with Chavo and Vickie Guerrero, Eddie's nephew and wife respectively.
Honorable Mention - Retirements/Farewell Speeches
Some of the more emotional moments from wrestling are when we see legends leave and say farewell. Some of the more memorable wrestling farewells have been:
- Shawn Michaels on the Raw after his battle with the Undertaker at WM
- Jeff Hardy leaving the WWE
- Ric Flair's Farewell Speech the night after he loses to Shawn Michaels. (Spoiler Alert: We will cover this match a little later)
#7 - Edge's Retirement
A more recent moment, Edge's retirement shocked the WWE Universe and WWE Superstars a like. The suddenness of the retirement took everybody by surprise. It seemed that Edge was on top of his game when he left and many feel that he was one of the best at the time and to see him leave seemed like a big loss for the WWE. Many were sad to see such a great superstar leave and a such a high point in his career.
#6 - Shawn Michaels Retires Ric Flair at WM 24
The relationship between Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair was a special one. They had worked together for a long time and they fought together on many occasions, but at WrestleMania 24, Michaels and Flair met up for what was most likely their final battle. In a career threatening match, Shawn Michaels beat Ric Flair to send Flair off. As Michaels prepared for his finisher, he whispered a goodbye to Flair and hit Sweet Chin Music. Flair would then walk up the ramp for the last time as a wrestler with WWE, sent out by a good friend on the grandest stage of them all.
Honorable Mention - Hard Workers Winning World Titles for the First Time
When we watch wrestlers grow and become bigger in the wrestling industry, we rejoice seeing them win the big one. Some of the more memorable and emotional moments like this are:
- Jeff Hardy beating Triple H and Edge to win his first WWE Championship at Armageddon.
- Eddie Guerrero beats Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship for the first time.
#5 - Christian Winning the WHC with Edge
When Edge retired, he left a vacant World Heavyweight Championship in the WWE. The title came down to Christian and Alberto Del Rio. Christian would go on to beat Del Rio at Extreme Rules to win His first WWE World Championship. Along with his first world title in WWE, he got to celebrate it with his long time friend Edge. This is the case of one emotional moment leading to another emotional moment.
#4 - 9/11 Live Smackdown!
The 9/11 attacks were a shot in the heart of America. The WWE was not immune to the tragedy that happen in NYC that day and everyone was questioning what to do about Smackdown! that week. Many sporting events had been cancelled throughout America and many wondered if Smackdown! would also be cancelled. WWE decide to help America move on with life after the tragedy, Smackdown went Live on September 14 and featured wrestlers talking about the impact it had, not just on them but, on the world. This Smackdown! helped people to heal and move forward.
#3 - Benoit & Eddie Celebrate after WM 20
On a night when the stars aligned for the WWE, two men reached the penuchle of excellence in the WWE. On a night when Eddie Guerrero retained the WWE Championship against Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit fought in the Main Event of the night in a triple threat match against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. The shear mountain that was Michaels and Haitch was conquered when Benoit submitted Triple H with the Crippler Crossface. After Benoit's victory, Eddie joined him in the ring with the confetti falling. The two hugged it out in the middle of the ring and the two friends shared the spotlight after years of hard work. They were together and they were both at the top of the WWE. It was a fantastic moment in time, only magnified by the Wrestlmania stage.
Honorable Mention - Tributes/Tribute Shows for Deceased Wrestlers
Many emotional moments follow the loss of wrestlers. There have been many lost of the years and the Tributes and Shows that have been put on in their memory have been very emotional. So of the more memorable ones are:
- Tribute show put on for Eddie Guerrero after his sudden death.
- Tribute show put on for Chris Benoit after the event that lead to his death.
- Video package put together to celebrate the career of Randy Savage after his passing.
#2 - Raw after Owen Harts Death: Raw Is Owen
There have been many tribute shows put on by WWE, but none seemed to be as emotional as Raw is Owen. During a failed entrance setup at Over The Edge in 1999, Owen Hart fell 70 feet to the arena floor below and died in the hospital that same night while the show continued. The next night on Raw, the WWE paid tribute to Owen Hart. The show featured several wrestlers visually breaking character to honor their fallen friend. On a night where all wrestlers were allowed to not wrestle, ten matches were put together from guys and girls willing to wrestle for Owen. The climax of the night being Stone Cold Steve Austin coming out and toasting Hart and everything that he did. Stone Cold cracked a beer and said, "This one is for you Owen."
#1 - Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth Reunite at WM 7
This is the final moment and, hear me out, while on paper it may not seem that emotional, let's look at the backstory. Miss Elizabeth was the manager for Randy Savage for four years until their relationship ended in 1989 when he replaced her with Sensational Sherri. During those four years, Miss Elizabeth managed Savage through every match he was in. The break up lasted two years until WrestleMania 7, in a career ending match against Ultimate Warrior, which he lost. With Miss Elizabeth in the crowd watching, Sherri attacked Savage as he laid in the ring. It was to much for Miss Elizabeth to witness, who rushed to Savage's aid. She fought off Sherri and reunited with her former love among a massive crowd of fans in attendance. There were tears from both Savage and Miss Elizabeth, as well as most of the fans in attendance that night. This moment would soon lead to there engagement and marriage at SummersSlam 1991.
Ok guys, so I'm suppose to put the top 8 emotional moments in wrestling, whether it be matches, shows, or events, it has to be something that occurred on TV. So here we go. I'm going to get right into it!
#8: CM Punk vs John Cena MITB Match
Now some might disagree with this, but look at the promo from Punk before this, and the build up. Then add in the match itself, and the shock of Punk walking away the champion, this match had it. It was a good match, a surprising ending, and a electric crowd.
#7 Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels Bury The Hatchet
Something that no one thought would happen. When Bret Hart was screwed back in 1997, no one thought we would ever see these two co-exist inside of the ring again. I didn't become a fan of wrestling until 2002, but from that span goingg forward, learning what I learned, I couldn't see HBK and Bret forgiving each other. Then it happened. Bret Hart returned to the WWE, and we got the chance to see one of those moments that don't come along that often. We got to see Shawn and Bret bury the hatchet on live tv. Now I'm sure they probably had talked prior to then, but just that interaction given their history, made for a great moment.
#6 Ric Flair's Final Match
I have Ric Flair's final match for the WWE in at #6. I remember watching that Wrestlemania, and I'm sure others can agree, while we knew Flair was going to lose and "retire", you couldn't help but cheer him on and hope in some way you were wrong. This was the Nature Boy we are talking about. This match was a good match, but what sent it over the top, was the ending with Michaels mouthing the words to Flair before finishing him off.
#5 Shawn Michaels Fairwell Speech
Now, Shawn Michaels is my all time favorite wrestler. Always has been, probably always will be. Now, I'm the first guy who will advocate for one more HBK match, but in truth, we probably won't get that. So rewatching his farewell speech to me, gives it that much more meaning. Shawn did it all, and wowed the fans, despite a back injury and other set backs.
#4 The Rock Returns
This is another one that people might not agree with, but I feel it is appropriate. No one expected The Rock back, and when Rock was revealed as the surprise host of WM, this roof on the building literally exploded! I remember watching, and getting all excited as could be. I mean, it was THE ROCK! He was finally back! In that moment, that night, listening to the Rock speak, it was one of those special moments.
#3 Raw is Owen.
Now while I wasn't a wrestling fan when Owen passed away, rewatching the videos on youtube, I can only muster up how emotional this show was. I won't go in depth, merely because I don't feel I can do it justice.
#2 Edge retires
Talk about not seeing it coming. I remember watching the Raw after WM, I was flipping back and forth between Raw and another show, and when I saw Edge come out, I stopped, and I'm glad I did. I actually think I either called or texted a few friends saying "Are you watching Raw? I can't believe this" People talk about a career being cut short, to me, this is the definition. Adam Copeland went from being a no body, to the Rated R Superstar, Edge. This was a sad moment, and crushing to see Edge have to retire.
#1 Eddie Guerrero tribute show
There are those moments, that when you learn of something, you'll always remember where you were. Learning of Eddie's death was one of them for me. I was in the 11th grade, sitting in my computer sciences class, and I got on the internet as I hadn't had the chance to, and I came across the article. I was in disbelief. Then, watching the tribute show that night on Raw, it was one of those moments where you knew the world lost someone special, someone who made a difference.
Well guys, those are my top 8 emotional moments in wrestling!
That's it folks, now for my judges PM me a vote or put it in the thread, and there is a peoples choice vote, all votes in the next 3 days will be counted into that and the winner gets that vote.

Mesa County judge ponders payout petition for 'Rider' Dewey
Seventeen years and 12 days of wrongful imprisonment in Colorado is worth $1,192,310.
Minus taxes, of course.
The Colorado Attorney General's Office and Mesa County District Attorney's Office said in a joint motion filed last week that's what is owed to 52-year-old Robert "Rider" Dewey, consistent with Colorado's new compensation system signed into law this summer.
The motion was a response to a first-of-its kind petition filed in Mesa County on Dewey's behalf by Denver lawyer Danyel Joffe. While Joffe, state and local authorities largely agree on Dewey's request for compensation, the two sides are fighting about records.
What's next is pending before District Court Judge Richard Gurley: The judge must make a finding that Dewey's petition shows he's "actually innocent" in the June 1994 rape and murder of 19-year-old Jacie Taylor in Palisade.
A hearing on Dewey's petition is scheduled later this month.
Should Gurley grant the petition, the Colorado court administrator's office will have 14 days to issue an initial $100,000 payment. Funds will be distributed in annual installments of $100,000, and Dewey would have to complete a "financial management instruction course" to continue receiving the funds after the first payment, according to the new law.
Dewey will have to obtain health insurance. Colorado could slash annual payouts by $10,000 for failure to provide proof of insurance. He'll also have an education opportunity: Tuition and fees would be waived for any state-supported higher education institution.
Colorado could withdraw from the compensation if Dewey wins a civil judgment exceeding the total compensation amount, or, if he's convicted of a class 1 or class 2 felony.
Joffe's petition for compensation also includes a request that Gurley issue an order to expunge, "as if such events had never taken place," all records in the case held by the Mesa County District Attorney's Office, Mesa County District Court, the Mesa County Sheriff's Department, Palisade Police Department, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Colorado Department of Corrections and "all other state and local government agencies."
The DA's office, however, argues that the records are needed in the pending prosecution of 41-year-old Douglas Thames, the man scheduled for trial next year in Taylor's murder.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Julie Selsberg wrote in a response that information about Dewey's conviction, as well as his DNA profile, have already been removed from state and national computer databases.
Jacie Taylor's body was found June 4, 1994, partially clothed in a bathtub in her Palisade apartment. A Mesa County jury convicted Dewey in October 1996 of first-degree murder and first-degree sexual assault and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Dewey was released from prison April 30, 2012, after new DNA testing didn't link him to crucial evidence in the case, while implicating Thames.
Dewey's case inspired a measure signed into law June 5 by Gov. John Hickenlooper, creating a state compensation program for people who are found factually innocent of felony crimes after serving time in jail, prison or juvenile placement.

Armando X. Estrada, PhD
Department of Psychology
Washington State University
Do not send submissions to the Editor via email. Authors may contact the Editor directly about a topic before submitting completed manuscripts.
Manuscript Preparation
The journal publishes behavioral science research articles having military applications in the areas of
- manpower and personnel issues;
- testing and measurement;
- training and human factors;
- clinical and health psychology; and
- social and organizational psychology.
Military Psychology® will consider any manuscript that has military application within one or more of these areas so long as it is rigorous scholarship that fosters our understanding of these areas and serves to stimulate the generation of research ideas and theoretical insights.
Military Psychology is international in scope, and the editors encourage submission of articles that address research being carried out in a variety of national settings.
Military Psychology publishes papers in the form of research or review articles, research notes, clinical practice notes and communications.
- Research or Review Articles include reports of original empirical research as well as scholarly integrations of individual areas of empirical research.
- Research Notes include brief articles (15 inclusive pages) describing work that is largely confirmatory, advances in knowledge arising as by-products of broader studies, or new research techniques and methodologies.
- Clinical Practice Notes and Communications include case studies, program development evaluations, and brief research articles of direct application for military psychologists in clinical settings.
All manuscripts should be prepared so that they have clearly articulated goals that serve to organize the introduction, method, results, and discussions. The introduction should review relevant research and theories and conclude with a clear articulation of a testable research hypothesis or research question. The methodology should include a complete description of demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age, race/ethnicity, education) and military career information (e.g., occupational field, years of service) of the participants; provide a thorough and concise description of all measures (e.g., lead stem with sample items, response alternatives, scoring procedures, and M, SD, reliability, and validity information); and include an explicit statement addressing confidentiality safeguards. The results section should include appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical analyses with reports of effect sizes (or strength of relationships) and confidence interval for significant and non-significant findings. The discussion section should elaborate on the unique contributions of the study to include linkages and extension from previous research and theory and address limitations and future directions.
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
Masked Review Policy
This journal has a policy of masked review for all submissions.
A separate title page should be prepared and include
- the title of the manuscript
- names and institutional affiliations of all authors exactly as they are to be printed
- name, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address of the corresponding author.
The manuscript should omit this information but should include the title of the manuscript. Make every effort to ensure that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identity.
Research or Review Articles should not exceed 25 pages; Research and Clinical Practice Notes and Communications should not exceed 15 pages; all pages shall be inclusive of tables, figures, and references.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual. Additional guidance on APA Style is available on the APA Style website.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer Code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In Online Supplemental Material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the Text of the Article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Submitting Supplemental Materials
APA can place supplemental materials online, available via the published article in the PsycARTICLES® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
Abstract and Keywords
All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases.
Public Significance Statements
As part of your revision, we ask that you prepare an impact statement of two to three sentences that summarizes your study in plain English for the educated public. The statement should be written in simple, nontechnical, and compelling terms that highlight the relevance and implications of your research. Please do not copy the abstract for this purpose.
The aim of the statement is to summarize the article's findings and highlight their importance to human behavior within and beyond the military environment (e.g., understanding human thought, feeling, and behavior and/or assisting with solutions to psychological or societal problems).
This new article feature will enable authors to have greater control over how their work will be interpreted by key audiences.
Please refer to the Guidance for Translational Abstracts, Public Significance Statements, and Social Media Messages to help you write this text.
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.

Class 2A
Northside Chr. holds off rally, delivers winner
ST. PETERSBURG — A moment that lasted less than 15 seconds decided a game that Northside Christian had in hand for most of its region quarterfinal against Community School.
After the Seahawks rallied with three runs in the seventh to tie the game, Northside Christian sophomore Robbie Williams ripped a line drive to the right-center gap then scored when the throw to third hit him in the helmet and ricocheted down the leftfield line for the Mustangs' 8-7 victory.
"I was just looking for a pitch to drive and I sat back and drilled it to right," said Williams, who had flied out and struck out twice. "What a feeling. The best feeling in the world."
The Seahawks battled back in the top half of the inning. Trailing by three, Mark Rocha started the rally with a double. Danny Brown then reached on an infield single, sending Rocha to third.
The Mustangs (21-8) brought in ace JoJo Hess, who usually starts games. Hess allowed singles to Mike Riebesell and Will Ellert. Both singles scored runs to bring the Seahawks within one.
Hess struck out Nicky Locascio before facing Oliver Rogers, who laced a single to right to bring in Riebesell to tie the game.
With the go-ahead run on third, Hess struck out Ben Gardner and induced Anthony Salce into a groundout to end the inning.

Wow amazing work!
This is very well done my friend, congratulations on the top 5 it is well deserved! I also love the lead that you made it sounds really cool. It sounded a bit repetitive up to 1:30 until you changed the melody slightly with a saw. ( i think). I loved the main melody that you made with that lead you made it fits really well. There are only a few complaints that i have is that i would have liked to hear some more drums and that i think the song ends awkwardly because i don't think there is really a ending.. And the last thing i think is that it does seem a bit repetitive. I give you a 5/5a nd a 9.5/10
Very well done, and i hope to hear more from you or maybe even a extended version or remix of this. You put a lot of work into this one ( i think. )
On a side note, don't take my suggestions to harshly because i don't know much about music but i dotry to make some. Anyways have a great day!
It's not done yet, and I can't update this one, because it became so popular too quickly lol!!!
Thanks for the advice and in-depth review!!! :D

TAKEAWAY: It is obvious that the St. Petersburg Times, one of the best regional dailies in the US, is ready to make a quick dash across the bridge that connects Tampa and St. Petersburg as it lauches its new name Tampa Bay Times. Time for a new nameplate?
TAKEAWAY: It is obvious that the St. Petersburg Times, one of the best regional dailies in the US, is ready to make a quick dash across the bridge that connects Tampa and St. Petersburg as it lauches its new name Tampa Bay Times. Time for a new nameplate?
Here is the existing logo of the St. Petersburg Times
And some interesting ones we tried as possibilities as this newspaper reinvents itself
Here is my favorite of the nameplate possibilities.
It depends on what the name is, what it conveys, and its projection. One name that will be different come January 1, 2012, is that of our local newspaper here, The St. Petersburg Times, which will become the Tampa Bay Times.
I am all for reinventions, and, my first reaction packs a double message:
1. On the one hand, I know that the St. Petersburg Times is a robust brand. Journalistically, the mention of its name almost anywhere in the world evokes thoughts of a quality newspaper which journalists globally crave to visit and to learn more about how it does everything from reporting the news to printing color to designing its pages. Of course, the change of name does not imply a change of the newspaper's journalistic practices, as CEO Paul Tash states in his announcement.
2. On the other hand, as a resident of Tampa Bay who travels worldwide, I know that to the world we are the Tampa Bay area, so for a newspaper that started making its incursion into Tampa about 25 years ago, and where the competition with The Tampa Tribune dates back many more years, it is a logical step to complete the "invasion". I live in the Tampa side of Tampa Bay, and I run through my neighborhood of Temple Terrace each morning when I am home, and I can testify that over the years the number of St. Pete Times copies I see in the front yards of my neighbors in a 3-5 mile radio has increased considerably.
The move across the bay has taken place, and successfully, the change of name is the next logical step in the progression.
This is how Tash describes it:
For decades, the Times has been reaching north and east from St. Petersburg. Nearly 25 years ago, we launched our Tampa edition; on a typical Sunday, it routinely sells more than 100,000 copies. By a wide margin, the Times is Florida's favorite newspaper.
By the way, I am happy to see the word "growth" in Tash's report: " The new name reflects the growth of our newspaper and our vision for this region."
So now, as a reader of the Times, and as I envision the new Tampa Bay Times, my imagination starts thinking of how the new nameplate would look.
The Times now has a clean, classic logo set in Old English. It has served it well since the beginning and I imagine that we will probably see the Tampa Bay Times words in Old English, and there is nothing wrong with that.
However, it is 2012, this is a reinvention, and, as reinventions go, a fantastic opportunity to be more playful and to truly show, on page one of the newspaper, the spirit of the new Tampa Bay, complete with a logo that gives the newspaper visual uniqueness.
What fun opportunity for those guys at the Times. In fact, our Garcia Media art director, Reed Reibstein, and I, had some fun coming up with variations that could truly signal a change for the venerable St. Petersburg Times.
What's in a name? Well, for the new-old Tampa Bay Times, finally a decisive trip across the bridge that unites the two cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg, one that I imagine makes the Times' legendary editor and publisher, Nelson Poynter, smile.

UT Science Forum -- How Can Florida's Geological Past Help Us Prepare for the Future?
Friday, 28 February, 2014
The UT Science Forum presented by Quest offers a weekly lecture on current science, medical, or technology developments. On February 28, 2014, Don Goldstein, Paleontology Researcher, will speak on "How Can Florida's Geological Past Help Us Prepare for the Future?" from 12 noon to 1 p.m.
Florida has been partially covered by the sea repeatedly during the past 2 million years. This has been the source of enormous volumes of fossil material for the study of these periods. The patterns of deposition and the distribution of the animals reveal a picture of a tropical to subtropical environment similar to South Florida today, complete with periodic tropical storms.
The pattern of flooding of the peninsula revealed by the geographic distribution of the Pleistocene deposits, gives us a picture of where future flooding may occur for sea level changes of various heights above the current level. Maps of the past marine coverage of the peninsula (prepared by Dr. E.J. Petuch) are compared with predictive maps of flooding, given various proposed sea level changes. Various means of adapting to the possible changes will be discussed.
The Science Forum is free and open to the public.
Location: Thompson-Boling Arena Dining room C-D. Bring your lunch or purchase it from the Arena.

JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) today announced that it proposes to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2018 in a private placement. JAKKS intends to grant the initial purchaser of the notes a 30-day option to purchase up to $15.0 million in principal amount of additional notes to cover over-allotments, if any. The notes will be convertible at the option of the holder, and upon conversion, the notes will be settled in shares of its common stock, except that cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares. The interest rate, conversion price and other terms will be determined by negotiations between JAKKS and the initial purchaser of the notes. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of JAKKS and will rank equal in right of payment with all of JAKKS' existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. JAKKS intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase a portion of its 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2014. In the event JAKKS is unable to repurchase such notes on satisfactory terms, JAKKS may use such proceeds for general corporate purposes. The notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. The convertible senior notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any other jurisdiction and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the shares of notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

text: Gustavo, What will the users be doing in the server concurrently? We are also planning to add support for external components for the next version. That could be of help if, for instance, you could have several external processes offering the same service (e.g. MUC) but using a different JID for each service (e.g. conference1.domain.com, conference2.domain.com, etc.). This could help you distribute the service load between different machines/processes. Note: This is not a real load balancing solution but maybe it can be of help for you depending on your needs. A real clustering or farming solution is in our roadmap but for future versions. Regards, -- Gato "Gustavo García" <ggb at tid.es> wrote in message news:0I7O003FLZAKHF at tid.hi.inet...

Think Like A Man's Gabrielle Union attended InStyle's Dinner With a Designer event, rocking a look from the night's honoree, $1,595 Jason Wu. She chose a gray, black, and white floral printed dress from the designer's Spring 2012 collection, adding a black belt and $895 Valentino Rockstud platform pumps.
Her dress is 100% cotton, has an A-line silhouette, scoop neck, and slim shoulder straps.
Her super sexy Valentino pumps have a peachy contrasting studded trim, 5.25″ heel with a 1.50″ platform.
Obviously, the dress and shoes are fabulous, but it seems that 90% of the time Gabrielle bets on black. I would have loved to see a shot of color, like a chartreuse shoe or clutch. It would have enlivened the whole look. Anyhow, if you like her 'fit, you can get all the pieces here:

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Only you can decide if it is in your best interest to sever the relationship with your daughter. Nobody likes family conflicts because they put an enormous strain on many members in the family. You can lessen your contact with your daughter if that makes you feel better...just checking in on her with telephone calls though not lengthy and rare personal visits if that can be tolerated by both sides. To assist you in deciding what to do, make a list of all of the positive reasons to cease contact with your daughter and all of the negative reasons and then weigh the two options.
Our daughter has been so brain-washed by her husband that she will always follow his train of thought and deed. Over this particular conflict my daughter has always maintained that we should not lose contact with the little 6 yr old (don't 'punish" her - as if punishment is our style) but then they have gone on to use the little 6 year old to ask us questions we cannot answer, leading again to confrontation : "I want my sister's telephone number', (they obtained it via a P.I. and the phone call to her was rebuked - the estranged daughter has a tremendous fear of her father) "why cant I talk to my sister," "where is Mary's (her aunt) birthday present" (they also had an altercation with her so she does not feel welcome in their home anymore) So we even question the sincerity of us keeping contact with our young grand-daughter. And indeed the effect on her of an in-conflict families ! The two logical options open to us weigh heavily towards the negatives mostly represented in our son-in-law who has an enormous capacity for conflict, hate and revenge - as illustrated by him writing off his own mother. As much as it pains us we will most probably break contact - the alternative is to maintain contact and just have the heap of hate and conflict accumulate to that point anyway. Txs for your reply.

TEL AVIV (Apr. 23)
Israel is supplying weapons and military aircraft to Guatemala on a business basis without the Israel government's involvement, Haaretz reported Thursday. The newspaper quoted Guatemala's Defense Minister, Gen. Hector Alejandro Gramajo Morales, as telling its correspondent at an interview in Guatemala City that his country has "broad military relations" with Israel conducted by private Israeli businessmen, not on government levels.
Gramajo said his country receives "several basic items for our army. We benefit from these relations which are primarily commercial," Haaretz reported. Asked if Israel was Guatemala's main source of arms, he replied, "It is a supply source for us, but I wouldn't say that it is the sole supply source and I wouldn't say that it's the most important."
Guatemala receives arms from other countries, including Taiwan and South Korea. Gramajo said, according to Haaretz, "In our stocks there are (Israel-made) Galil rifles, Arava planes and communications equipment. We have ongoing supply ties (with Israel) and we have good relations. We are working together on these matters."

I have a long face with chubby cheeks and a lot of eyelid space. When I don't wear eye makeup people always ask if I was out drinking the night before because my eyes look "puffy".

What would give me the most sculpted look that Megan Fox has?

Doctor Answers 5
Who Wants to Look Like Megan Fox?
Hi Mary,
I want to be twenty five years old, but we should be grateful for what we have and who we are. You are beautiful. What you are seeing in Megan Fox is a youthful face which is wider in the forehead and tapers along the jaw to the chin, the so-called heart shaped face of youth. Megan's nose is not the focal point of her face, it get's out of the way of her eyes and lips. I would treat you with Sculptra to build up the upper third of your face/cheeks, and consider rhinoplasty in the future if you wanted it for yourself and not to look like Ms. Fox. Your eyes are fine. Make sure that you choose your facial plastic surgeon most carefully, you don't want to mess up your beautiful face needlessly.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Please do not go out an wreck yourself.
First, have your seen pictures of Megan without makeup and photoshop? In the photo you attached she was probably less than 5% body fat. I assure you that if you were 5% body fat, your face would look much more angular without a stitch of surgery. Cheek implants- I would be very careful here. I think for the most part, the surgeons who use these don't really understand how they affect facial volume. Experimenting with facial fillers that can be reversed (restylane and perlane) is a much safer approach to augmenting the cheeks and under eye area. For rhinoplasty, less is more. If you go with rhinoplasty, do a great deal of studying of the surgeon's before and after pictures. If all you see are little ski ramps, that is what you will be getting as a result.
Facial improvement
You can neve look like Megan Fox but certain characteristics can be improved. You may consider a rhinoplasty and cheek augmentation ( i.e. fillers).

Ways for a young female to look more like Megan Fox.
Though you can never look exactly like Megan Fox a rhinoplasty and cheek implants will be what will make you look more like her. Your cheeks are somewhat flat and your nose is more wide and bulbous tip. These can both be corrected. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best results.
High cheekbones
High cheekbones are best achieved with cheek implants. Implants are composed of Silastic are inserted directly over the bone through intraoral approach. We do not recommend any buccal fat pad removal.

There is not a single player currently in his 20s who has won a major. Tiger Woods won 11 majors in his 20s.
The talent can be so tantalizing. Did you see how far Dustin Johnson hit it? Anthony Kim got up and down from where? Rory McIlroy just celebrated his 21st birthday?
But gaining the maturity and experience needed to thrive on golf's biggest stage can be a grueling process.
It wasn't until Phil Mickelson was 33 and had won 22 times on the PGA Tour that he claimed his first major.
After shooting 16-under in the final two rounds of last month's Quail Hollow Championship to storm past Mickelson, McIlroy showed off a game that can be unrivaled.
And after his Sunday spectacle at Augusta on his way to finishing third at the Masters, Kim was ready to join golf's elite once and for all. But Kim, who will turn 25 on June 19, was also playing with a mangled thumb, and he will miss the U.S. Open and possibly the British Open while recovering from surgery.
Johnson might not be in their class when it comes to the world rankings or elite performances. Both Kim and McIlroy are ranked in the top 10. As of May 23, Johnson was 27th.
But when it comes to winning at Pebble Beach, the 6-foot-4 Johnson stands out more than any other pro in his 20s.
During Johnson's rookie year, he tied for seventh at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
The next two years, he won.
And even though Johnson has just one top 10 in six majors, how can you discount the success he's had at Pebble Beach?
"Knowing you can win out here, always. That's a big part of it," Johnson said. "The more you play Pebble, the more comfortable you get. It definitely helps."
Johnson's ability to handle the pressure of a major championship is still in question. He has an impressive three wins as a 25-year-old, but each one comes with a footnote.
Johnson's first win was the 2008 Turning Stone Resort Championship, a Fall Series tournament with one of the weaker fields on the PGA Tour.
Johnson then won the 2009 AT&T, but it was shortened to 54 holes after the final round was washed out.
Johnson successfully defended his title this year, but it wasn't tidy. He stumbled home with a final-round 74, and needed a birdie on the last hole to avoid a three-way playoff.
"All you can ask for is a chance to win it on the last hole," Johnson said. "I was in position. Obviously I wasn't playing the way I wanted to play, but I was still right there."
And it wouldn't be surprising to see Johnson put himself in a similar position this week.
Johnson, who is second on the PGA Tour in driving distance, has gone low at Pebble Beach. He opened last year's AT&T with a 65 at Pebble Beach, and this year he shot 64.
"As long as I keep playing the way I'm playing, I don't think there's anything that I can't do," Johnson said. "It's all up to me. I've got to keep working hard and keep practicing hard, and good things will come."
Johnson dropped off the radar a bit after this year's AT&T, registering just one top 10 in his next eight events.
But then again, Pebble Beach seems to bring out the best in Johnson.
"The last three years I've played well at the beginning of the year on the West Coast," Johnson said. "Since I won at Pebble, I haven't played as well as I'd like to, but I feel like my game is really close to being good."
Dustin Johnson
Age: 25
Tour wins: 3, including back-to-back wins at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last two years
Notable: Last year, finished tied for 10th at the PGA Championship and tied for 40th in the U.S. Open and tied for 30th at the Masters.

This procedure describes how to split a diskgroup to a new diskgroup and downgrade the diskgroup version of the new diskgroup so it can be imported on a system that supports lower diskgroup version.
Recommend that the new and downgraded disk group be created on the current system (6.0.1) to ensure that the operation is successful and minimizes the chances of errors. This is especially important during the vxmake process.
This procedure was needed so data from a higher Veritas product version system could be migrated to a system running a lower Veritas product version, i.e., migrate data from a 6.0.1 system to a 5.1 system.
Before the split can be done, check to ensure DGSJ is enabled:
# vxdctl license
If DGSJ is not enabled, switch to the keyless option:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxkeyless set SFHENT
# vxdctl license init
Check with:
# vxdctl license
This is the procedure:
Note: These commands show 'syntax' from our testing here. Use what suits the environment, i.e., diskgroup names; volume names; disk names; etc..
Disassociate plexes:
# vxplex -g test -f dis vol01-02
# vxplex -g test -f dis vol02-02
Make the disassociated plexes into new volumes:
# vxmake -g test -U fsgen vol newvol1 plex=vol01-02
# vxmake -g test -U fsgen vol newvol2 plex=vol02-02
Start the new volumes:
# vxvol -g test start newvol1
# vxvol -g test start newvol2
Test mount of new volumes:
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/test/newvol1 /test2
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/test/newvol2 /data2
Umount them:
# umount /test2
# umount /data2
Umount the original volumes/filesystems:
# umount /<mnt>
Split the diskgroup:
# vxdg split test newdg disk5 disk6
Note: uses the disks for the new-volumes in above command.
# vxprint -htg newdg
# vxprint -htg olddg
Now for downgrading the newdg version.
First make config copies of newdg:
# vxprint -mpvshrg newdg > vxprint.1
# vxprint -htg newdg > vxprint.2
Destroy newdg:
Note: If they are mounted need to umount first.
# vxdg destroy newdg
Now make new 'newdg' with lower version:
# vxdg -T 150 init newdg disk5=emc_clariion0_4 disk6=emc_clariion0_5
>>Use same disk and disknames that were used before!!
Check version:
# vxdg list newdg
… should show version 150
Now recover the data from the vxprint.1:
# vxmake -g newdg -U fsgen -d /vxprint.1
Check vxprint output:
# vxprint –htg newdg
Start the volumes:
# vxvol –g newdg start newvol1
# vxvol –g newdg start newvol2
Mount them
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/newdg/newvol1 /test2
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/newdg/newvol2 /data2
Check the data
If all looks good now ready to transfer the newdg to the 5.1 system.
Umount to deport to 5.1 system
# umount /test2
# umount /data2
Deport from 6.0.1 system:
# vxdg deport newdg
Import on 5.1 system:
# vxdg import newdg
# vxvol –g newdg startall
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/newdg/newvol1 /test2
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/newdg/newvol2 /data2
When finished, reset vxkeyless.
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxkeyless set NONE
