''Gunparade March'' is a Japanese video game later adapted to a three-volume manga and TwelveEpisodeAnime of the same name.
The video game, ''Koukidou Gensou Gun Parade March'', was released on September 28, 2000, for the {{PlayStation}}. Developed by Alfa System and Creator/{{Sony}} Computer Entertainment, the game won the Seiun Award in 2001 for creativity and innovation. A related game, ''Gunparade Orchestra'', is currently in development by Alfa System.
The manga by Hiroyuki Sanadura was serialized in the magazine ''Dengeki Daioh''-. The three volumes published by Media Works between 2001 and 2003 were translated into English by [[Creator/ADVFilms ADV Manga]] between 2004 and 2005.
The anime, ''Gunparade March: The New March'', which was produced by J.C.Staff, was broadcast on MBS from February 6 to April 23, 2003. It is licensed for distribution in the United States by Media Blasters as simply "Gunparade March".
The plots of all adaptations are similar, involving an AlternateTimeline wherein World War II was abruptly ended when an alien race appeared on Earth and began to slaughter the human population. This alien force, known as the "Phantom Beasts" and "Genjyu", have effectively taken over more than half of the Earth by 1999 where the story takes place. To combat the aliens, humans developed [[AMechByAnyOtherName Humanoid Walking Tanks (HWTs)]] but with high death rates, the Japanese government enforced a student draft which recruited high school students to become HWT pilots. ''Gunparade March'' follows the lives of the 5121st Platoon, which consists mainly of drafted high school students, including the main characters, Atsushi Hayami and Mai Shibamura.
!!Gunparade March provides examples of:
* TheAce: Mai, who's fairly smart and skilled with HWT's.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Tanabe, the [[BornUnlucky unlucky]] girl, gets much of the screen time in episode 10.
* AlienInvasion: Type 1 with the Genjyu, whose origins are unknown, and showed up during UsefulNotes/WorldWar2, wiping out much of humanity in the process.
* AMechByAnyOtherName: Humanoid Walking Tanks, or HWT.
* AmusingInjuries: In episode 8, two girls get hit on the head trying to catch a ball Hayami hits in a baseball game. Tanabe, the first one, gets knocked out, and Yumi, the second girl, fakes being passed out so she could spend some time alone with him in the nurse's office.
* ApologizesALot: Hayami tends to do this. When he first talks to Mai, his constant apologies to her angers her a little, which she points out. He immediately apologizes again.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Mai, unknown to the other main characters at the time, does this to save Hayami and Mibuya in the first episode.
** The other squadmates do this for Hayami and Mai in episode 7.
* BornUnlucky: Tanabe, who often has misfortunes befall her such as slipping and spilling her favorite food on the floor.
* CannotSpitItOut: Both Hayami and Mai suffer from this.
* TheCasanova: Setoguichi, who hits on every girl that he sees.
* CheerfulChild: Nonomi for the most part.
* ChildSoldiers: The main characters of the 5121st Platoon are still high school aged students, due to the long war against the Phantom Beasts.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Mai in episode 8 when Yumi starts aggressively pursuing Hayami. She vehemently denies having any feelings, but it does affect her performance in that episode.
* DatePeepers: Various characters do this in episode 11 while spying on Hayami and Mai while they shop for stuff the class claimed was needed for the Christmas party.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Mai gradually becomes less standoffish towards everyone, especially Hayami.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Late in the series almost everyone realizes that Hayami and Mai both like each otherr. However, since both CannotSpitItOut, it frustrates them to no end when their attempts [[ShipperOnDeck to hook them up]] fail.
* FestivalEpisode: Subverted in episode 5. The 5121st Platoon prepares for a puppet show, and even spends a lot of time doing it, but just as the show starts, the Phantom Beasts attack.
** Its subverted again in episode 10, this time while preparing a play. However, this time around they manage to film it during rehearsal, and the video/narration is played while the 5121st is out fighting. Unlike the first time around, the kids really enjoy it.
* LoveEpiphany: Both Hayami and Mai realize this in episode 8.
* LoveLetterLunacy: Hayami gets one in episode 8. Naturally his squad mates are curious who it is and tease him a lot about it.
* LoveConfession: Yumi does one to Hayami in episode 8.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The new mecha the platoon receives is capable of this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Hayami watches the interview he and Mai gave while shopping on Christmas Eve in episode 11, it suddenly dawns on him that she really likes him. Unfortunately, the night before, he stupidly brings up the subject of the guy who died in her previous school, which motivated her to become a soldier in the first place, causing her to get uncomfortable and leave.
* NewTransferStudent: Mai, who joins the 5121st Platoon in the second episode.
* NiceGuy: Hayami, who often ends up losing in betting games with the other male soldiers to get snacks, and takes care of a stray cat that hangs around the dorms.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Yumi goes after Hayami rather aggressively despite his lack of interest.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: The 5121st Platoon does this for Hayami and Mai in episode 7. Hayami himself does this for Mia, refusing to leave her behind despite her broken leg and their increasing lack of air filters.
* RealRobotGenre: The HWT's are just as vulnerable as other troops deployed in battle.
* RelationshipUpgrade: After a lot of false starts, [[spoiler: Hayami and Mai do this at the very end of episode 12.]]
* RescueRomance: While it takes a while, Mai gradually warms up to Hayami after he saves her when their HWT is heavily damaged. Bonus points for managing to do it on foot in heavily infested Genjyu territory, and telling her NoOneGetsLeftBehind despite her injuries.
* ShipperOnDeck: Practically all of the 5121st Platoon does this for Hayami and Mai, especially in episode 11.
* TheStoic: Hayami utilizes this in episode 7 while trapped behind enemy lines. Instead of thinking about rage and hate, he recites a fairy tale to remain calm, then tells Mai later how stories went around with monks who survived going through Genjyu held areas with nothing more than a prayer and a gas mask. In one scene, Mai's nightmare causes her to be filled with rage, and makes the aliens hostile to them. He theorizes that the Genjyu attack if a person is filled with hatred and rage.
* TonightSomeoneDies: See WeHardlyKnewYe.
* {{Tsundere}}: Mai, Type A, is cold and hostile towards almost everyone, especially Hayami.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Mibuya, who doesn't get a lot of screen time, then gets killed in the 6th episode.]]
* WhamEpisode: Episode 5, [[spoiler: when Mibuya gets killed. Made worse by the fact that as the newscaster lists the names and ages of all those killed in that battle, her name isn't listed first, and she's just one of many who perished]].
** In episode 11, Mai is given an offer to join another unit.
* WrenchWench: Several of the girls, such as Matsuri, perform maintenance on the HWT's.

I tried to post today with an uploaded image. This is the first time I've ever tried this.
The picture was fine, but I noticed that that sidebars moved from the side to below all of my posts. In other words, everything's screwed up.
I deleted the post, deleted the image, and even removed the image from my computer.
I tried a brand new post, and there's the same problem. I deactivated all the plugins, and noticed there is a fatal error if I try to reactivate the Sidebar Widget plugin.
Finally, if I delete any new post, or change it to "draft," everything is back to normal. It's like there's a hidden code in the new post, no matter what content I add.
Thanks for any help! I'm getting desperate. Everything worked fine before I tried adding an image.

Prep football: Neumann jumps on Out-of-Door early
SARASOTA - Too many turnovers and a weather delay made for one long, dreary night for the Out-of-Door Academy Thunder.
The host Thunder turned the ball over seven times and fell to St. John Neumann 42-21 in a key district game at home Friday night.
It was simply too many turnovers against a team capable of scoring off big plays for ODA.
The Celtics never scored a touchdown of fewer than 30 yards against the Thunder, and scored on plays that covered 50, 58, 91, 34, 30 and 53 yards.
The game was delayed by lightning in the area for about 55 minutes. Much of the second half was played in a steady, though relatively light rain.
ODA, plagued by inconsistency this season, fell to 1-3 overall, and 1-2 in Class 2A-District 6.
The Celtics remained perfect at 4-0, and 3-0 in district play.
Though ODA quarterback Evan Wilson was successful through the air, and looked very impressive at times, he also threw four interceptions to go with three lost fumbles for ODA.
Wilson also threw for a touchdown and ran for another in the game. His 2-yard TD run in the fourth quarter did pull the Thunder within 35-21, but they would get no closer.
Wilson's fourth interception of the game came with 2:04 left in the third quarter, and it led to a 30-yard pass for a TD by the Celtics. The play was big as it put the Celtics up 35-14 just as the Thunder was gaining some momentum.
The game was stopped with 3:54 left in the second quarter and the Celtics ahead 28-14, The Thunder had some momentum going when the game was stopped and regained it once the game resumed.
ODA, which trailed 28-0 at one point in the second quarter, and 21-0 after one quarter, made a game of it again when freshman running back J.T. Fischer scored from 5 yard out to cut the Celtics' lead in half.
Wilson continued to pick up steam in the second quarter. On the drive capped off by Fischer's TD, Wilson hooked up with Austin Hoppe on a big 32-yard gain.
It was Wilson and Hoppe connecting for ODA's first TD of the game as well.
With 8:57 left in the second quarter, Wilson found Hoppe in the back of the end zone for a touchdown that covered 30 yards. The pass split several defenders and was perfectly placed.
On that drive, Wilson completed a pass of 13 yards to Jake Romine and a pass of 25 yards to Brandon Place.
Wilson had 190 yards passing, which was very impressive considering how the conditions kept getting worse throughout the night.
Turnovers were the story of the first quarter as Wilson threw a pair of interceptions, one of which led to a Celtics touchdown that covered 58 yards and made it 13-0.
ODA's penchant for allowing big plays showed up in the first quarter.
The Celtics' first TD was a pass play that covered 50 yards. They added a TD run of 58 yards and a punt return for a touchdown that covered 91 yards for a 21-0 lead after the first quarter.
The Celtics' fourth TD of the night was a 34-yard pass play.

The saga of the Duke Energy rate hikes will continue when the North Carolina Utilities Commission hears expert testimony on July 8 in Raleigh.
Two weeks ago, Duke proposed a settlement of an overall 4.5 percent rate increase that will grow to 5.1 percent in two years, about half of what was originally requested. The higher rate would result in an increase in residential power bills, averaging about $7 a month.

Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to teof74Riiight so i looked around before buying this drive and i couldn't find so many complaints as i have found in the last 4 hours hehe.
I bought this drive today (don't know what firmware) used Carbon Copy Cloner (which is awesome by the way) and put the drive in, it worked find then did the locking up and freezing thing over and over and over again, with most of my windows fanboy mates laughing at me over gtalk on one of my other laptops i went to work downgrading the firmware to 1.6.
The drive appears to be working absolutely fine now, in fact it seems a whole lot faster than the factory 5400 320gb drive that came with the macbookpro, out of morbid curiosity i clicked everything in my doc to see how long it would take, this includes xcode, adobe cs5 (all of it) microsoft office and a few others the programs all started quite a bit quicker than they would have on the old drive and the computer did not hang at all, quite impressive!
So it appears that this drive is fine with the MBP when it is using the sata controller in 1.5 mode rather than 3.0gb mode.
The xbench app tells me that since the downgrade of the firmware the computer rates a bit lower on all counts which is a shame, the speeds were awesome before then when it wasn't locking up.
Final verdict is yet to be seen but i think this could be a viable drive, its a shame that the sata controller from apple doesnt like to work with the seagate xt drive in full speed mode.
Simon Falcon Nov 8, 2010 1:21 PM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to mister kozMacbook Pro, i5 2.53ghz 4GB - OS X 10.6.4
I Purchased the ST95005620AS Momentus XT as an upgrade hoping for a snappier computing experience. I'm very disappointed to find that video playback is greatly affected. I have tried using hdapm to limit apm and it had no effect. After setting the drive to max the pauses in playback continued. I just popped the drive out and slapped a jumper on to limit the speed to 1.5 and it's much improved - but there's still an occasional pause. I wonder where people get those tiny jumpers when they don't have IT jobs? Lucky for me I had one
I work in advertising and video playback is crucial - I'd think for most people that smooth video playback is something that we take for granted these days.
I'm going to remove the drive this evening and put back my 7200rpm Hitachi.
My advice - skip buying this drive - snappier load times are not worth giving up smooth playback of video for.
Simon Falcon Nov 9, 2010 6:40 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Simon FalconJust a follow up - this morning I tried to run through a keynote that played well on my previous Hitachi drive. The presentation has several embedded video assets ranging from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, all of which pause several times during playback.
Conclusion - the jumper setting does not solve the pausing issues with the Momentus XT and macbook pro i5 series notebooks.
Delta5 Nov 9, 2010 7:45 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Simon FalconPerhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm very happy with the upgrade so far. Not sure why others are having so many problems.
No video issues at all on my Macbook Pro with the XT. As smooth as it's always been, which is to say, perfect. I watched an hour-long HD (720p MKV) video last night, no playback issues whatsoever.
I checked the System Profile, and the SATA controller is at full 3.0 GB speed. No lockups, no hiccups, no beachballs, no drive clicking, no vibration. Just superb and quiet performance. I wish everyone were having the same experience.
Now again, my MBP is the previous generation mid-2009 model with the Core2Duo 2.53. Perhaps there is some sort of controller incompatibility with the XT and the new 2010 i3/i5 MBP's?
Mister Koz & Simon Falcon, what firmware is your XT running? There have been a few revisions from Seagate. Mine came from Seagate (via Amazon) with the latest, which is as of this writing, SD23.
mrkennedy Nov 11, 2010 4:57 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Sebastian SiedentopfI've seen many complaints and compliments for the Seagate Momentous XT Drive. I went to Seagate and watch their comparison with 3 other drives and I became interested. From what I read, I was impressed enough to give it a try.
I installed this drive overnight with OS X Disk Utility. I placed my old drive WD 5400 500GB into an external case, installed the new Seagate drive and used the Disk Utility to image the new drive with my previous image. I did set the Disk Utility to erase before imaging. I've learned the hard way it's better to start with all 0's.
I've used this drive for several hours now with now issues. Boot up was fine; same boot time as the previous drive: 1:47. I ran a few of my often used programs and apps (Safari, Mail, Rapidweaver, BusyCal, Pages, etc) Then I rebooted 4 times (as I've read on many forums) to see the Learning Technology do it's work. My results:
1st Boot: 1:47
2nd Boot: 1:18
3rd Boot: 58 seconds!
4th Boot: 41 seconds!!!!
I'm not an advanced user who is going to run several test. I'm speaking from the point of view as an educated professional who needs performance, comfort and reliability. So here's what I'm seeing.
Pros: The boot time is Amazing! The boot time makes it worth the cost of the drive (approximately $139). The applications (Commonly used) are FAST to load, process and close. I can't calculate this saving; but I do feel it. I guess you can make the analogy of driving a sedan or a sports car; they both get you to were you're going, but the speed is very nice to have when taking off.
Cons: The only con I've experienced thus far is the vibration. I do notice a difference over the WD 5400. Many tell me this is common for 7200's and it's why most laptop manufactures don't use them. I've read some post saying the vibration is annoying. I'm not sure I agree with that statement. Since I can't show it, I'll compare it. The vibration feels much like a fan motor. It's a small fraction of the vibration you feel when using your optical drive (cd/DVD); about a 1/8 the vibration. I can't say it's annoying, but I could see of some would say it gets annoying after hours of use. It's really a trade off for the speed and performance. Again, you buy a performance motor, you're bound to feel some vibration. I use a laptop cooler under my MBP. I find this cooler gives off more than 3x the vibration than the seagate XT.
I'm a frequent user. One factor that influences my decision to purchase RAM, HD's, and software is cost vs. time. Seeing these numbers and knowing I prefer to carry my machine in a powered down state, I will save at least 365+ minutes of boot time a year. That's 6+ hours a year saved in boot time alone! Not to mention, my frequently used programs are much faster and snappier. I can't begin to calculate the cost savings of that part. Multiply your hourly wage time 6; if it exceeds the cost difference over the not XT, then you'll save big! Although there are a couple draw backs (cost & vibration), +I think the cost is more than worth the cost and the time savings makes it feel like a steal.+
Dj Skeme Nov 14, 2010 9:37 PM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Delta5How did you actually install the OS? On the flash and then your media on the actual hard drive?
Sebastian Siedentopf Nov 18, 2010 5:51 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Dj SkemeYou only see one drive, there's no flash or hdd volume. The flash is used for cashing reads and it's completely managed by the harddrive firmware, you have no control over it.
Problem still exits under 10.6.5. Jumpering the drive down to 1.5 Gb/s didn't helped either. But manipulating the power management using hdapm looks promising so far.
sebasti_an Nov 19, 2010 3:28 PM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to teof74I've had this drive for about a month now, (after my 7200rpm plain 500gb momentus broke down and pied half of my data), and have just started to see some issues. Like some others have mentioned it seems to have trouble with video playback, especially streaming for some reason. The UI has also started to become slightly sluggish.
It hasn't affected my battery life too much, but I'm getting a bit annoyed. I'll keep backing up and let the drive run for another month before I switch back to another drive.
Also on a note regarding the vibrations: The screws have some form of lock-tite on them, and simply leave them standing about .5mm from fully inserted, pushing against the rubber 'shims' will get rid of vibrations.
These are Xbench marks on the momentus xt drive. (perhaps the video issue has something to do with the incredibly low Uncached Write [4K] score?)

Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to sebasti_anmmm so far i'm having a blast.. ok so it's been a day.. i'm hoping load/boot times improve.
how would i go about timing boot times though.. i'm waiting till i see my adium connect cos i don't see how else I can quantify it. Don't know what I should be looking out for...
hmmm... still satisfactory of course
Roman1 Nov 24, 2010 1:44 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to teof74Installed it [ST95005620AS] in my MacBook Pro Unibody late 2008 with zero complaints. It feels like a new machine: all is much faster, except the booting time, which might be another issue. Few months later I added more RAM for a total of 4GB and feel no difference in speed. Momentus XT though brought a considerable improvement in overall speed.
No on to solve my slowed boot-up time.
slowth84 Nov 24, 2010 6:43 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Roman1heya,
what's your boot time like?
slowth84 Nov 24, 2010 9:44 AM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Roman1That's bad?!
I'm already quite impressed with my 40 odd second boot. Is my xt faulty!??
Roman1 Nov 24, 2010 12:03 PM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to slowth84(1) It's from begin of the ding sound till the login screen.
(2) Test with a clean install.
(3) If that doesn't do it, give up the few seconds - not really worth it ...
... if you don't there's
optional (4) google, reset, reset, clean, google, etc... till you're mad and one day..
slowth84 Nov 24, 2010 6:29 PM
Re: Seagate Momentus XT in response to Roman1oh no wonder.. i don't use a login screen...
i shal try that.. and yeah maybe i'll invest the time in doin it properly.

State title or bust.
Considering that the UIL hands out 10 championship trophies for the 1,000-plus high schools participating in 11-man football, it's a pie-in-the-sky target for most teams to set as their ultimate goal.
But for Denton Ryan, it seems reasonable.
"That's the only outcome I can see: winning state," linebacker Jordan Richmond said. "Anything else is a disappointment."
Ryan, which lost to Austin Lake Travis in last year's Class 4A Division I final, 27-7, has been in the finals five of the last 11 seasons. It's only won twice, however, capturing back-to-back titles in 2001 and 2002.
Coach Joey Florence understands that with such success comes high expectations, not just from the media or community, but from inside the program.
And Florence is fine with it.
"Right or wrong, that's our expectations," Florence said. "I think after you got there last year and lost, anything short of a state championship — for us — is going to be disheartening.
"I would be upset if they were not thinking in those terms."
A big reason for Ryan's lofty ambitions is its defense, which has the potential to be one of the state's best, regardless of class.
Defensive end Mario Edwards Jr., ranked by several recruiting services as the No. 1 defensive prospect in the nation, returns after being named the state's 4A defensive player of the year by The Associated Press. Edwards (6-4, 285), who's committed to Florida State, will partner with Baylor commit Dominique Banks as Ryan's main pass-rushing threats.
Up the middle, Ryan will be strong as well, with senior linebackers Alex De La Torre (Texas) and Richmond (Texas A&M). Each had more than 120 tackles last season.
Florence will need a fledgling offense to produce and must replace last year's top passer, rusher and receiver.
1. Denton Ryan
COACH: Joey Florence
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 5 defense
STRENGTHS: Two seasons ago, Denton Ryan — propelled by the potent passing attack of Texas Tech's Scotty Young — beat McKinney, 70-63, in a regular-season shootout. This year's Ryan defense might not allow that many points for the entire regular season. Two FBS commits on the defensive line, Dominique Banks (Baylor) and the area's top talent Mario Edwards Jr. (Florida State), as well as two in the linebacking corps, Alex De La Torre (Texas) and Jordan Richmond (Texas A&M), make Ryan formidable up front. WR/DB Trey Mohair will be key on both units, as will WR/DB Sam Johnson.
NOTABLE: Offense will be a question mark, with finding a replacement for quarterback Nash Knight a key concern.
2. Highland Park
COACH: Randy Allen
RETURNING STARTERS: 7 offense, 3 defense
STRENGTHS: Normally a team that relies solely on seniors, powerhouse Highland Park rarely returns so much firepower. Be it part-time starting QB Brady Burgin (1,983 yards passing, 16 TDs), WRs Dalton Stogner (67 receptions, 1,239 yards, 16 TDs) and William Morris (15.3 yards per catch), RB Preston Miller (912 yards, 7 TDs) or three offensive linemen, including Duke commit Tanner Stone — it's an impressive collection of players with experience.
NOTABLE: With seven wins, Allen would become the 11th high school coach in Texas to amass 300 wins.
3. Wylie
COACH: Bill Howard
RETURNING STARTERS: 4 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: The move down to Class 4A proved to be a good one for Wylie. A run to the state semifinals reinvigorated the program after a disappointing 3-7 season in 2009. Wylie returns quality on both lines and the secondary. Heavily recruited tackle Kyle Fuller is a rock on the offensive line, as are Azuka Akozar and Noble Nwachukwu on the defensive line. Akozar, corner Terrell Burt — a Baylor commit — and ILB Sean Watts were all-district players last season.
NOTABLE: No one who scored a touchdown for Wylie last season (10 players combined for 64 TDs) is back.
4. Everman
COACH: Dale Keeling
RETURNING STARTERS: 7 offense, 8 defense
STRENGTHS: When talent combines with motivation, watch out. Clearly, the talent is there, with a whopping 15 starters back from a powerhouse squad. Lincoln Richard is one of the state's most athletic linebackers. Recruited by the likes of Arizona and Arkansas, Richard finished fourth in the 4A Region I high jump with an effort of 6-8. Richard joins Missouri commit Torrey Boozer in a loaded linebacking corps.
NOTABLE: Everman failed to win a playoff game for the first time since missing the playoffs in 1999.
5. Corsicana
COACH: Phil Castles
RETURNING STARTERS: 5 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: When a team's top two playmakers are back for another season, things bode well. Running back Cameron Washington (1,507 yards and 10 TDs rushing) should be productive again behind the blocking of tackle Roclan Drain, while wide receiver Christian Hines (1,074 yards, 12 TDs receiving) will build a connection with the new quarterback, converted cornerback Devontay Bell. End DeQuan Raindle and linebackers Dominic Kelly and Tevin McDonald form a dynamic defense.
NOTABLE: A six-game winning streak to end the regular season gave Corsicana a share of the 15-4A title.
6. Mesquite Poteet
COACH: Randy Jackson
RETURNING STARTERS: 4 offense, 5 defense
STRENGTHS: Believe in Randy Jackson. The 2010 SportsDay coach of the year came in from Lone Oak and turned a moribund program around. With Beau Nowell no longer at quarterback, the offensive load will fall on the shoulders of 1,000-yard running back Steven Hicks. Poteet is strong up the middle, with district defensive MVP tackle Silas Firstley and inside linebacker Craig Suits, a Tulsa commit, back. Free safety Chase Graham is also back, off a 10-interception season.
NOTABLE: Poteet's 12-game improvement over a winless 2009 season was the biggest positive swing in the state.
7. Carrollton Newman Smith
COACH: Paul Ressa
RETURNING STARTERS: 5 offense, 3 defense
STRENGTHS: Newman Smith was close to pulling off a big upset in last year's 4A Division I regional semifinal, leading state power Tyler John Tyler, 21-17, early in the fourth quarter before allowing Tyler to score on four consecutive possessions. Power back Jerome Akintunde (238 yards rushing, 4 TDs) and slot receiver Tripp Abbott (452 yards receiving, 2 TDs) should provide some punch offensively, while DB Allen Melson and DE Karl Thomas should shine on defense.
NOTABLE: For the second straight season, Newman Smith has to replace its top passer, rusher and receiver.
8. West Mesquite
COACH: Mike Overton
RETURNING STARTERS: 3 offense, 7 defense
STRENGTHS: The Trevone Boykin era is over, as he departs for TCU, but that doesn't mean the cupboard is bare for the regional semifinalists. Overton is excited about the running back duo of senior Courtland Smith (919 yards, 9 TDs rushing) and junior Raashaan Reason, as well as his linebackers — with Raashaan's older brother, Alex, and juniors Andre Thompson and Nick Akins. Two transfers should fill spots in the secondary: Cranston Jones (Lincoln) and Tallie Cooper (Seagoville).
NOTABLE: With Boykin, West Mesquite had the area's most prolific 4A offense, averaging 467 yards per game.
9. Rockwall
COACH: Scott Smith
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: Rockwall showed it could win the close games; in each of its District 10-4A contests — where it went 5-2 — Rockwall didn't have a game that was decided by more than a touchdown. In a four-game stretch heading into the playoffs, the team went 4-0 by a total margin of 14 points. Most of last year's skill-position players are gone, but 12 starters return, largely on the offensive line, linebacker corps and secondary. Quarterback Wesley Davis moves over from wide receiver.
NOTABLE: Rockwall hasn't won multiple games in the playoffs since making the 4A state final in 1987.
10. Frisco Centennial
COACH: Mark Howard
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 8 defense
STRENGTHS: Howard said that as a team, Centennial is as quick and strong as it has ever been. Last season's 5-2 district mark was the best in school history; the school started playing varsity in 2004. Both offensive and defensive lines return players with experience, with all-district performers tackle Parker Lambert and nose guard Chase Appleby back. Outside linebacker Nick Bush and safety Austin Schotts each had more than 100 tackles last season.
NOTABLE: Centennial has never won a playoff game, making the playoffs twice in seven seasons (2008 and 2010).
11. Lancaster
COACH: Chris Gilbert
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 3 defense
STRENGTHS: Offensively, there's a good bit back for new head coach Gilbert, who came from District 15-4A foe Terrell. Texas Tech commit LaDarius Newbold will be back at receiver and defensive back. Tre' White is blazing fast at running back; Newbold and White were on last year's state finalist 4x100 relay team. Guard Chris Thomas is an FBS talent, at 6-4, 315. Senior QB Davon Hodge and sophomore QB Nick Harvey also return.
NOTABLE: Lancaster hasn't beaten Waxahachie since the 2000 season, when it made the regional round.
12. Frisco Wakeland
COACH: Marty Secord
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 5 defense
STRENGTHS: Belief is high that despite losing Tyler Kirkindoll — the school's all-time leader in completions, yards and touchdowns — to graduation, Wakeland has built a culture that will foster continued success. Secord's 32-20 record in the school's five years of varsity play contributes to that belief. The team returns its two top scorers from last season: kicker Zach Paul (7-of-9 on field goals, 45-of-45 on PATs) and wide reciever/defensive back Brad Sicula (40-537, 7 TDs receiving).
NOTABLE: Secord re-established the football program at NCAA Division III Louisiana College in 2000.
13. Frisco Liberty
COACH: Galen Zimmerman
RETURNING STARTERS: 1 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: Last year, Liberty relied on one of the area's most potent offenses to carry the load. This year, it will be the defense. District 9-4A's defensive MVP, lineman Andrew Allen, is back, as is fellow all-district lineman Drew Percle. The secondary is also strong, with another all-district performer, safety Izaiah Robinson, shoring up the deep coverage, and defensive backs Lewis Hill and Stan Shepherd on the perimeter. Quarterback Zach Smith (1,779 passing yards, 20 TDs) is the offense's lone returner.
NOTABLE: RB Jay Ajayi, now at Boise State, rushed for 3,745 yards and 55 touchdowns in his final two seasons.
14. Rockwall-Heath
COACH: Mickey Moss
RETURNING STARTERS: 7 offense, 8 defense
STRENGTHS: Moss has gobs of experience coming back, highlighted by baseball prodigy Jovan Hernandez, last year's leading rusher. Senior wide receivers Amaris Fields (384 yards, 9 TDs receiving) and Clark Pope are also back. A group of 12 sophomores were, according to Moss, "thrown into the fire" last year, and they've emerged wiser and stronger after a solid off-season. The defense should be strong, led bya trio of juniors — DE Jay Arnold, DE Jordan Points and LB Raaquan Davis.
NOTABLE: In five seasons as a varsity program, Heath has only one season with a losing record (2-8, 2006).
15. Birdville
COACH: Jim Skinner
RETURNING STARTERS: 3 offense, 4 defense
STRENGTHS: No one in District 5-4A played Aledo closer. Granted, Birdville did lose to the eventual Division II state champs, 40-17, but no one else in district play got closer than 41 points. Gone is Tyler Skaggs and his 31 passing touchdowns, but leading rusher Tyler Klutts is back. Klutts was fourth among area public-school running backs with 1,956 yards and 23 touchdowns. Both the offensive and defensive lines return key members.
NOTABLE: In 2010, Birdville was the most balanced offense in the area, throwing for four more yards than it gained rushing.
16. Waxahachie
COACH: David Ream
RETURNING STARTERS: 4 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: Last year's 4-6 record was a huge disappointment after a 13-1 run in 2009, but perhaps expectations were too high for a team that returned the area's top recruit, LaDarius Brown, and little else. Brown's now at TCU, and Ream is left to get the program back into the playoffs again. Running back Robert Lowe Jr. (1,204 yards, 19 TDs rushing; 257 yards receiving) will now be the offensive focus, aided by the development of quarterback Don King III.
NOTABLE: Waxahachie's failure to qualify for the 2010 playoffs broke a 20-year postseason streak.
17. Lake Dallas
COACH: Michael Young
RETURNING STARTERS: 8 offense, 4 defense
STRENGTHS: Now starting at Missouri, former quarterback James Franklin's absence was felt last season as Lake Dallas won five fewer games than 2009. Franklin's replacement, Dalyn Williams, is poised for a breakout season behind a more seasoned offensive line. Stanford-bound Dontonio Jordan should see time at wide receiver and running back. He accounted for a team-high 12 scores last season, with six touchdowns each on the ground and in the air.
NOTABLE: Williams did not compete in spring practice, instead playing shortstop on a playoff-bound baseball team.
18. Mansfield Summit
COACH: Travis Pride
RETURNING STARTERS: 4 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS:The loss of the quarterback-running back duo of Xavier Williams and Lewis Washington will be felt, as the two had their hands in all but seven offensive touchdowns for Summit last season. Instead, defense will be a calling card, with strength in the line and linebackers. All-district defensive end Cortez Harris, end Bryan Ohene and tackle Jacolby Robinson return, as does one of the district's best athletes, linebacker and Texas Tech commit Micah Awe.
NOTABLE: Since 2002, Summit has a combined record of 13-3 against Mansfield, Timberview and Legacy.
19. Kimball
COACH: Carlton Nelson
RETURNING STARTERS: 6 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: Kimball's defensive front seven is the best in DISD, and it's young. Junior defensive tackle Justin Manning (6-2, 280) is sitting on offers from Texas A&M and Texas Tech, and OLB Brandon Hines got starting time as a sophomore last season. There's talent on offense as well. WR Xzavier Alexander (8 TDs) and RB Teriyon Gipson (1,165 yards rushing, 15 TDs total) were all-district selections as sophomores.
NOTABLE: Junior quarterback Traveon Thibodeaux threw 10 of his 22 touchdown passes in the first two games last year.
20. South Oak Cliff
COACH: Kendall Miller
RETURNING STARTERS: 4 offense, 6 defense
STRENGTHS: Power back Paul Franklin missed most of the 2010 season because of injury, but returns for what's expected to be a big senior season. Corey Callicut, the leading receiver on last year's team with 23 catches for 431 yards, had a great off-season and should be another go-to guy for SOC's offense. All-district defensive tackle Adarius Wright provides size and athleticism up front; the 260-pounder also plays soccer.
NOTABLE: SOC has advanced to the playoffs eight straight seasons but won multiple postseason games only once (2007).

Graham, NC (PRWEB) August 14, 2013
Dr. Jerome Crayle of Graham, NC recently introduced a method for helping his patients have a more comfortable experience during their visits to the dentist. This method, known as sedation dentistry, alleviates the anxiety and stress that many patients often feel when having dental work done. Besides having a better overall experience during office visits, patients can also expect to get more work done in less time due to their relaxed state during sedation.
As a well-respected practicing dentist for over thirty years, Dr. Crayle is excited about this innovation that will assist in giving his patients the best experience possible. Patients report that the oral sedation offered in Dr. Crayle's office has changed the way they feel about visiting the dentist.
"I have been practicing dentistry for many years and have met a great number of people who feel a lot of stress and anxiety when it comes time to visit the dentist," said Dr. Jerome Crayle, sedation dentist in Graham, NC. "I know that many people don't receive the care they need because of that stress. My staff and I are so pleased to offer oral dental sedation as a way to help patients eliminate fear and to feel relaxed before and during their visits."
When a patient wishes to use oral sedation for a dental visit, he or she will be prescribed a sedative pill that can be picked up at a local pharmacy prior to the office visit. Taking the pill orally before the appointment eliminates the need for needles or tubes. The oral sedative allows patients to be conscious during their treatments but relaxed enough that they have little awareness of sounds, smells, or sensitivity. Oral sedation often leaves patients with no memory of their experience at the dentist's office.
"Sedation dentistry is particularly useful

DENVER, April 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Phase II data presented at the annual meeting of the American Urology Association (AUA) indicate that men suffering from an enlarged prostate may benefit from BOTOX(R) injections.
The two-stage, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study showed that two different dose levels of Botulinium Neurotoxin Type A (BOTOX) injected into the prostate was both safe and efficacious for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause difficulty in urination.
"People often underestimate the significant impact BPH can have on a man's quality of life," said Dr. E. David Crawford, one of the principal investigators of the study and head of the Urologic Oncology Department at the
A renowned urologist and clinician, Dr. Crawford is a lead investigator on 17 abstracts presented at the AUA regarding both BPH and prostate cancer screening, including the prostate arm of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) study.
Study results included data from 125 men with BPH, aged 50 years and older, and treatment success was defined in terms of efficacy and safety over a 12 week timeframe. Patients were assigned to receive either 100 units or 300 units of BOTOX. Seventy-three percent of patients taking 100 units and 81 percent taking 300 units passed the cut offs for efficacy, defined as 30 percent or more improvement from baseline. Both doses also passed the safety criteria. Specifically, there were no grade four or five toxicity events observed in either dose, and only 17 percent in the 100 dose and 18 percent in the 300 dose reported grade two or three events

This quizzically greasy product (bought in the USA) appears as a white slick on my medium, yellowish, mildly oily skin. The white slick does not disappear when rubbed, nor does it mattify, whether applied mid-day or on freshly-washed skin.

This mattifying stick works really well on my oily skin. I used to use Shiseido's 5S mattifying stuff (white flat container), but this is a superior product, easier to put on and blend. Even still, if you don't use a light hand you can get too much on your skin--hence the chalky look--so use it lightly. I use this as a base on my very oily eyelids. It helps keep eyeshadow from slipping into my eyelid crease (which normally happens within an hour, sans mattifying product).

um ... i am not quite sure about the matifying ability of this product ... 'cause i use an oil free foundation on top of this ... this might be helping a bit ... however this product is quite expensive ... i think if you use it everyday ... it could only last around 1 - 2 months ....

Does a kick ass job of fighting those nasty greasies. The trick is to
use it underneath (ideally sheerish) foundation to avoid the white pasty effect. It gives a long-lasting matte finish. People always tell me what flawless (yeah right!) beautiful Asian
skin I have when I use this.

I was disappointed with this. I don't think my skin is all that dark (NC20 in MAC) but this stick left very conspicuous, white, chalky residue on my nose -- especially bad overtop of freckles. It didn't do a horrible job of mattifying, but could never be worn alone -- and in that case, why not just wear mattifying makeup. DO NOT BUY this. Unless you have very paper-white skin, in which case I guess you wouldn't notice the powder. I was disappointed, because I usually like Shiseido.

HOLY GRAIL! This little baby comes in a gorgeous metallic tube that's really portable and great for touchups. 2 swipes across the forehead and 1 swipe down the bridge of my nose is all I need - it blends easily and gives me a beautiful matte coverage, leaving my skin feeling like velvet. What's better - it can be used on top of makeup for touchups during the day. My only gripe is that it uses up real fast, but it's worth it IMHO. continued >>

the first thing that i noticed when i tried this product was that it was not like other oil controlling products or mattifiers. the texture is creamy on contact and quickly dries to a powdery finish that leaves no white chalky residue. you must remember to put your regular moisteriser on first then apply the matifiying stick and rub it in a little. i have insanely oily and acne prone skin and this product kept my t-zone shine and oil free for more then 8 hours. so far i haven't found anything that has been able to do this for me and i've been dealing with this problem for 11 years!

Can someone tell me what this product is supposed to do.. I love my pureness cleanser but this doesn't do anything for me. I wanted it to do magic but it doesn't.. also with my two moisturizers it only works with one - on top of the other it doesn't settle in for some reason. Too bad because I spent E. 25 on it!

i'd recommend this for people with really oily skin during summer time. it does make my skin a bit flakier and drier....but a bit more moisturiser overnight will do!
i love the packaging....the lip-stick sized silvery pale blue tube..my style!
u'd have to blend it in and make sure u don't apply too much. use it after ur moisturiser and sunscreen seems to work the best. i wouldn't call it a "miracle" but it's the best mattifying thingy i've used so far (bye bye to my expensive blotting paper). This is expensive though, $40AUD in sydney.
gosh...i really hope it doesn't run out fast (ideally, it should last about 6 months even if i use it daily over my t-zone). I'll just wait and see and make an update when 6 month's up (or when i use this up).
It's been 5 months now, I've used about 0.5cm of the tube, because it's winter now so I don't really need mattifying product. Plus it's quite drying so any flakiness will show. It's also hard to blend in during winter because it's cold. continued >>

A mediocre mattifyer. It cut down the oilies by half and it did have a nice texture to put foundation on over, but it left a whitish cast that would make it impossible with bare skin.
Great packaging, though. Perfect for your purse or for traveling.

text: Description Suggest an Edit The Flint Hills Nature Trail runs for 117 miles (east-west) across northeast Kansas, linking six counties and dozens of towns between Osawatomie and Herington. The rail-trail is the 7th longest in the United States, but many sections remain unimproved and rough going, making it difficult to attempt on a road bike but fine for mountain or hybrid and cyclocross bikes, and horses. Thus, some sections of trail are still under development. For specific details, see the latest trail condition report on the local website (under Related Links to the right). In addition, some sections of the trail have gates, which you can either go through or, in one case, climb over. Whenever you encounter a gate, please close it again behind you. The trail traces a course through the Flint Hills, one of the last remaining tall-grass prairie ecosystems in the world. Along the trail you will encounter prairie flora and fauna, historic areas and unmatched views of the surrounding prairie and countryside. Wildlife includes bobwhite quail, wild turkeys, prairie chickens and bobcats. From Herington at the western end through Allen and Admire, you encounter the tall-grass prairie; from the eastern end in Osawatomie, about 50 miles southwest of Kansas City, the Flint Hills Nature Trail is more wooded. For much of this stretch through Ottawa and on to Osage City, the trail follows the Marais des Cygnes River, with the water just north of the pathway and river bluffs to the south. The trail is built upon an old railroad corridor, which was developed beginning in 1886—the Council Grove, Osage City & Ottawa Railway (which serviced coal mining) and the Missouri Pacific. The route fell out of service in the 1980s. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy later acquired and railbanked the corridor in 1995 and then transferred it to Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy (KRTC) to develop. In 2001, the all-volunteer nonprofit began trail construction. As the overseeing body, KRTC divided the trail into geographic divisions, which manage the day-to-day operations and development of their local sections. As of 2013, more than 60 miles of the trail have been completed. KRTC hopes to have the trail fully smoothed-out with crushed stone in the next three to five years. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access The Osawatomie Trailhead is located directly south of the Kansas City metropolitan area. To get there, follow John Brown Highway west through town. The trail begins at the western city limit along the south side of the road. The Vassar Trailhead is located beside an old grain elevator (which is visible for several miles) near downtown Vassar. From US 75 in Osage County, go east on State Route 268, then go north a short distance on Vassar Street to reach the trailhead in the small community. Parking areas are also found in Rantoul in Franklin County and in Admire in Lyon County. Parking is allowed at road crossings as long as cars don't block the public road or trail. Additional parking and access points are described on the Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy website.

Every year for about 2.5 weeks — beginning the last few days in Jan. and concluding mid-Feb. — the rock, gem, mineral and jewelry worlds cosmically align in Tucson, Arizona. Researchers, gemologists, authors, artists, miners and nearly 4,000 trade companies gather here from every continent for what is simply and collectively called The Gem Show. They bring their treasures, knowledge and expertise — all for sharing with the show's tens (more likely, hundreds) of thousands of attendees from every global tribe and tongue. Earth's gem and mineral riches are on display at nearly forty separate venues unfurled all over town, for sale at booths in huge circus tents, expo halls, warehouses, and in the city's fine Convention Center. Over a dozen local hotels rent all of their rooms for a couple of weeks to rock, gem, or bead dealers who sell directly to the public from their rented rooms. Every type of polished and rough rock specimen, fossil and faceted jewel you can imagine is being peddled everywhere — on blankets on the sidewalk or in very expensive, sophisticated exhibits brought in by the world's finest museums and collectors. Some shows span the entire two-and-a-half weeks, others for just a few days. Several shows are exclusively for wholesale buyers, others are open to the public. All of the shows are free except the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show™ held at the Convention Center — the original "Main Show" that started it all back in the 1950s. Indeed, Tucson hosts the Giant of all Gem Shows, the largest of its kind in the universe.

Bedlam baseball: Dillon Overton's return vital for Sooners' stretch run
But after some rest, Overton felt better, eventually well enough to be reinserted into the rotation.
"I felt great (on Sunday)," Overton said. "When I was warming up in the bullpen, it was the best I've felt in over a month. But as the game went on, I haven't thrown in two, two-and-a-half weeks. You just get tired and your arm starts getting tired. At that point, we just decided that was enough from me. But overall, I felt pretty good."
And he'll be needed, with a huge start to come next week at Kansas State, the current Big 12 leaders, before postseason play begins.
He struggled against Oklahoma State, but his return is what truly mattered.
"Winning the ballgame helps our chances as far as getting into postseason," Golloway said. "But having a healthy Dillon down the road helps us get deep into postseason. So it's kind of a Catch 22, if you don't have a healthy Dillon Overton, you're probably not going to go very far in postseason anyway."

UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) for Karmic Koala took place this year, between the 25th and 29th of May, in Barcelona, Spain. There were 270 blueprints that needed to be discussed during the summit, like the new professional look of Plymouth (an application that takes care of the graphical boot animation) for Karmic Koala, which will not become reality very soon. However, some of the ideas discussed at UDS will be implemented in the next version of the Ubuntu operating system, due for release in late October 2009. One of these was the "grub2-as-default" discussion, and Colin Watson had the pleasure to announce last night that GRUB 2 would definitely be the default boot loader in Ubuntu 9.10.
"We do not expect to be changing the boot loader for existing installations, at least not at this time; this is an inherently risky operation. (Remember that we don't even automatically reinstall the boot loader when we upgrade to new versions of GRUB Legacy, let alone when changing to a complete reimplementation.)" - Colin Watson said in the official announcement.
This is a very good idea, and users of all Linux distributions should replace their old GRUB boot loaders with the next-generation GRUB 2 one, if they didn't already. Why? Simply, because GRUB wasn't updated since 1996 and it doesn't have support for today's BIOSes. But, let's see exactly what GRUB 2 will bring new to the table:
· Support for newer systems;
· Scripting support;
· Internationalization support;
· A new way to number partitions;
· Improved memory management;
· Cross-platform installation support;
· Graphical user interface;
· Portable;
· and many more.
And, talking about good news, we should let our readers know that EXT4 is already the default filesystem in the daily builds of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Getting back to GRUB 2, those who want to see it in action, should know that it will be available in the daily builds, starting with today, June 9th. Even if it's not recommended, anxious Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) users or those who just want to test GRUB 2 without reinstalling their systems, can find detailed installation instructions here. Bugs can be reported here.
We, here at the Softpedia Labs, will keep you up-to-date with the new features of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) in the next weeks or months. Until then, do not forget to visit our website on Thursday (June 11th) for our usual first look at the second alpha of the upcoming Ubuntu 9.10 operating system.
