Gage Gay admits he never thought that he'd be a part of someone's "bucket list" but recently the 24-year old has done just that, twice.
In August, Gay was sent a message on social media from a woman, Kari Fried, who said her father Lyle had always wanted to come to a PBR event and meet Gage. Lyle, who had been a teacher most of his adult life, had recently found out he had bone marrow cancer and was not given very long to live.
He began writing a bucket list and one thing on the list was to attend a PBR event and meet Gage. A former student of his, who had become a pilot, found out about Lyle's wish and flew the family to Nashville in his private plane.
Gay arranged for the family to get front row seats and made sure he met Lyle on Friday night.
"He said he was having the time of his life," Gay recalled.
"I don't think I'm worthy to have these people want to go out of their way to meet me," Gay said. "In life there are opportunities you get that come to you in the form of helping someone else. I thought if getting tickets to an event and saying hi to someone else helps them out when they're sick then who am I to say no."
"Gage has such a big heart," Gay's girlfriend, Peyton said. "There are so many times Gage wants to help people, but he knows he can't do it all the time, so when an opportunity comes when he can do something for someone else, he takes it."
Recently Jennifer Swan reached out to Peyton and Gage on social media to tell them about a young boy, Laiken, that really wanted to meet Gage.
"She told me how Laiken has had a very hard life for someone so young." Gay said. "I sent him some shirts and a glove so he could look like a bull rider, and then we told Jennifer that we'd love to have them come to the Greensboro event, so he could see it in person."
Laiken has lived a life that no 10-year old should live. He and his two siblings have seen and experienced things that would make adults cringe. Their mother is an addict and their father went to prison for setting the family home on fire.
"Laiken has practically raised his siblings," Swan said. "He's been their protector for most of his life. The hardest thing when they came to live with us was letting them know they were safe, and they always had something to eat. They would hide food because they were so used to never knowing when they would have another meal."
Swan said, "I've always watched the PBR and my kids have watched it with me. But Laiken had never seen it until he came to live with us. Well he fell in love. He knows all the stats, who all the guys are and even the bulls. He's decided he wants to become a bull rider."
"So, it became a ritual in our home. We'd crowd around the TV or the computer and either watch it on CBS or on RidePass. I think Laiken looks at the PBR as a happy time and it's helped him get through the very dark experiences he's lived through."
Gay, who is finally back on tour after suffering through surgery from a torn right ACL/MCL, said that having to sit out almost six months really humbled him.
"Having to sit out for so long was hard." Gay said. "Thank goodness I won that event in New York City or I wouldn't have had the money in the bank that we needed to get us through those months of me being sidelined.
"Helping Lyle and Laiken taught me that in some situations in life, you have no control. It's been humbling," Gay said. "There have plenty of times when Peyton and I have wanted to help but were unable too. When we can put a smile on someone's face that is the best feeling ever."
Laiken, like Gay, is learning that his situation doesn't have to define him. With his father out of prison and actively working to have his children back in his life, Laiken has been told time and again that he can be whoever he wants to be.
"I've been trying to instill in Laiken that he is his own person, that he doesn't have to repeat the cycle of his childhood," Swan said. "I want him to know his future is in his own hands and it will be whatever he makes of it."
"As a professional athlete, I feel I need to be a role model for young kids who may lack positive people in their life," Gay said. "Peyton and I both come from very caring and giving families and we're trying to raise our son, Bently to be that way as well."
"Peyton comes from some of the kindest and most generous people in the world," Gay said. "Growing up my family didn't have much but they would give their last dollar if it would help you out so the idea of helping other people is just something that both Peyton and I feel strongly about."
So on October 13-14 when Laiken and his new "family" make their way to Greensboro Coliseum for the 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast Cooper Tires Take the Money and Ride, Gay hopes that Laiken sees that people do care and that there is a better future for him, that he can be anything he wants to be. And that includes a PBR bull rider.
Tickets are still available for the 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast, Cooper Tires Take the Money and Ride are available now and can be purchased at either the Greensboro Coliseum box office, online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling PBR customer service at 1-800-732-1727.

From a contractors perspective: what is needed to recover used CCA treated lumber?Author(s): Delton R. Alderman; Robert L. Smith; Philip A. Araman

DescriptionThe rationale of this research was to discern the factors that currently are preventing contractors from recovering and recycling spent chromated copper arsenate (CCA) lumber. This study examines the effects of evaluations and beliefs, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and awareness of the contractor's decision intention to recover used CCA lumber. We utilized a modified version of the theory of planned behavior to discover factors affecting a contractor's decision intention to recover spent CCA lumber. This study proposed that the contractor's decision intention to recover is affected by attitude, normative beliefs, and perceived barriers to recovery. The study included a mail questionnaire sent to over 2,800 contractors. The findings of this research indicate that perceived behavioral internal and external controls towards the recovery of used CCA treated lumber have a significant impact on a contractor's decision intention to recover spent CCA lumber. Moderator analysis indicates that for recovery intention, an interaction between attitude towards recovery and external control plays a significant role in the decision intention. Significant correlations were also found between a number of the constructs. Finally, the authors present the public policy and marketing implications and recommendations from this investigation.

Kessiena Salubi
The untimely death of Kessiena Eseoghene Salubi, the popular Lagos Big Girl, on Friday, November 7, 2014, was the death of many dreams- hers, her family, colleagues, friends and many admirers, whom her life revolved around. She died in her sleep after arriving home from a late night outing.
She was aged 34.
Indeed, the horrible incident, occasioned by Kessiena's tragic death has thrown a dark cloud over the Salubi family. Neither Kessiena nor her siblings had a foreboding of her death.
Kessiena was reported to have resumed at the office quite early on Thursday, November 6. It was shortly after she closed from the office that she decided to go out with some friends. Sources disclosed to The ELITES that when Kessiena returned home later in the night, she had her supper and a bath before she retired for the night. It was the last time anyone would see her alive. What happened between the time she slept and when her maid found her stone dead the following morning, will forever remain in the realm of human conjecture.
The ELITES gathered that Kessiena was found dead by her maid, who had gone to her room to ask what she would have for breakfast. The maid was reported to have discovered her stone dead on the bed, with foam in her mouth. Confused with what next to do, the maid, reportedly called and alerted some of Kessiena's friends, who promptly rushed to the house and took her body to the mortuary.
Kessiena Salubi came into limelight thirteen years ago. She started out as a model, during her undergraduate days at the University of Lagos, where she studied Architecture. Later, she contested and won the Miss Unilag Beauty Contest in 2001. The following year, she contested in the Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant, where she emerged as the first runner-up.
Before long, Kessiena arrived on the Lagos social scene with a bang. She became a protege of Eunice Efolie, the famous Lagos Island society lady. The two ladies were inseparable and were regular sights at all the major functions held in the society. Blessed with a smoldering beauty and an arresting gait, Kessiena made quite an impression with the menfolk.
Unfortunately, a scandal, occasioned by her feud with Eunice Efolie forced her to recline into her cocoon. The feud was sparked by a disagreement over who controlled the heart of a former controversy-prone Governor General. Needless to say that, the scandal crashed her friendship with Efolie and deflated her then soaring status within the society.
However, Kessiena was able to rise through the rubble of the scandal. Initially, she went underground and relocated to Benin. Later, she moved over to Abuja, where she worked at NOA Architects. A few years ago, Kessiena relocated to Lagos and established her architectural firm, Designs 4-5 Studios. She was described as very hard working and passionate and a good team player, who paid a lot of attention to detail in whatever assignment she embarked on.
Details of her burial arrangement will be announced later by her family.

Getting the attention of potential customers through the blogging tools is also effectively getting noticed by search engines like Google. Information about the business endeavor or service will be within the reach of masses at a moment's notice.
The Basics
This also facilitates the directing of traffic to the intended site because of the keywords used within the makeup of the blog. Building upon the material to be feature in the blog should be both informative and enticing enough to attract the attention needed to grow the network marketing business.
As blogs generally post comments and ideas regarding specific products or services this can be turned into an advantages advertising tool.
The more popular the blog the better the level of exposure available for the intended business featured. Also tagged to blogs are other beneficial freebies elements like buttons, images, blog chalks, imoods and a few others.
Another feature the blogging tool offers is the element of transparency. This feature is very highly rated when it come to building the trust factor for the business exposure. When the comments posted are of a positive nature the advertising angle derived from the blog is unmatched.
Creating a carefully edited signature is also essential to ensuring interested parties are able to stay in constant contact should the need arise. Providing information such as website URL and contact details should be clearly visible.
Commenting on other blogs also helps to create the interest in one's own blog as these comments will ideally encourage viewers to visit the other site for further information because the initial comment of the guest blog was sufficiently enticing.
Knowing the types of potential visitors and what they are searching for through the blogs is instrumental in providing towards these needs. When addressing the issue of content and what is going to attract the prospector to the site the blogger must first take the trouble to research the current popular contributors and their topics.
What Do They Want
Having some idea of what the current online marketing tips and tricks is also another tool that can be used towards determining what interest the target audience.
The landing page used is also important and the design should be interesting and informative right from the beginning to ensure the interest of the viewer is successfully held.
Being able to connect with the market audience by considering the needs and requirements are all keys to creating a successful landing page which of course is the introductory phase of the journey.
Most individual's interest in a site is only in as far as how much their queries, interest and solutions that can be addressed. Therefore hard selling at the point would almost always produce negative results.
Adequately addressing concerns of potential prospectors will instead work towards positively creating a relationship that will eventually evolve into complete participation and commitment. Focusing on this will generate the desired results at a much quicker pace.
Staying as well informed as possible in the particular chosen niche will also help to create a platform where people will be more willing to focus on a particular site for the said information.
They would consider the information posted is both authoritive as well as bankable. If the information featured is exclusive in nature or the first of its kind to be posted, the positive response would be even greater as such information would be considered valuable to the interested viewer.
When designing content for any of the tools to be featured on the internet marketing platform keeping to topics relevant to the core business being projected is very important.
People visiting the site will not be amused to find unrelated material being featured. However there may be some isolated instances where this insertion could prove to be a positive variance but this practice is certainly not encouraged.
Be Relevant
Creating content that is relevant to be feature for viewing is the reason people visit the site in the first place, therefore this said material should always be of high quality and as interesting as possible. The topics posted should ideally take on the following characteristics:
- The topics should in some way tie in with the business in terms of its makeup, economic standing, environmental concerns, social impacts, influence to its audience and any other possible connective elements.
- Any new developments or data should also be one of the items regularly featured as this would allow those visiting the site to be kept abreast with the most updated information.
- Presenting information derived from current or ongoing research programs as well as any new introductory products or services is also recommended. This is very important as it ties in with the point made on the latest developments where the information presented is done with legitimate supporting documented evidence.
- Providing national and international public opinions and statistics on the use of the elements within the business being featured will also help to elevate the current positioning of the business and its exposure.
- Using other media tools to enhance the material being presented will also create the excitement for viewers especially if the media tool being used is vibrant and current.
The important point to always remember is to keep the content related to the business at all times.

Hi Starrbursts, At our school I teach beginners for 6 mos and in that time they learn traditional movements commonly found in all styles of Oriental dance.. For example, hip isolations such as hip circles, pelvic tucks/drops,bumps, lifts/drops:ribcage isolations such as ribcage circles, lift/drops, lateral movements etc.
You mention a DVD, is it geared for beginners? Who is the teacher? Is there a specific style the DVD promotes? I can remember having so many questions when I started and being grateful for having a teacher to guide me. Do you have a teacher? DVD,/videos are great,but they don't replace the feedback one can obtain from a teacher. Especially when we first learn to dance, there are many pitfalls we stumble into. the first pitfall is not paying attention to our posture so we can become graceful dancers. Another pitfall, is becoming a "legend" in our own mind, because we think we are good enough to perform after studying the video.
Depending on how fast you learn(visual learners really benefit form videos), 2 mos may not be enough time to be "really good" by Christmas. In order for you to reach your goal, you'll need to practice a minimum of 1-2 hrs daily, in addition to listening to the music you will want to perform to. It won't be necessary to create a choreoraphy, as long as you understand the rhythmic signatures of the song and have a strong dance vocabulary, you could perform an effective improvisation piece. Good Luck, let us know how it turns out.

Top 10 Greatest Sonic the Hedgehog Characters
The Top Ten
Shadow is better than Sonic in almost every respect because: 1. Sonic cannot fly, while Shadow can because of his shoes. 2. Sonic stated that he would never touch firearms, but Shadow will shoot someone without a second thought. 3. Sonic may be the fastest thing alive, but Shadow can go far faster using his shoes and Chaos Control. 4. Sonic will die eventually (although it may be a few centuries due to Sega's aging system), but Shadow is immortal. 5. Sonic may have been created first in real life, but in the games, Shadow was created around 34 years before Sonic was born, making Sonic the faker. 6. Sonic's friends are an underage fox and a gullible anteater, whereas Shadow's friends are a sexy spy/professional thief and an awesome destruction-loving robot. 7. Sonic's quills turn up when he goes super, but Shadow's are already so cool that they look the same both ways. 8. Sonic is not badass, and Shadow most certainly is. 9. While there is nothing wrong with liking Sonic, liking Shadow ...more
I don't really like the Shadow the Hedgehog, although he will always be better than that terrible hedgehog who is Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow the Hedgehog is supposed to have a European accent, for god's sake.
The reason why Shadow is cooler than Silver is that Silver fans try so hard to prove that Silver is cooler when the only thing Shadow fans have to say is that Shadow is ' Bad-ass. Enough' said. If Shadow could beat every other Sonic character Shadow would just kill everyone and who in the world wants that? Our world may be messed up but not THAT messed up. Oh and correction for you Silver Fans Silver: Last Hedgehog to fly, if he's from the future, then he wouldn't be the first one to fly. If Shadow's Actor's voice sucks, tell that to the actor. Plus that's probably just to either show how cool shadow is in comparison or to show how awesome shadow can be even with a bad voice I'm not sure because I haven't heard yet so I am just assuming. Another thing, Silver may be able to stop chaos power but Silver will never beat the Epicly Cool Awesomeness of Shadow.
You don't have to bash Silver because you think Shadow is better, I like Shadow he is my second favorite but If you can't even come up with a reason why he is a good character that's not good. If Shadow is a character you believe is better then Silver you need something to back that up and saying Silver fans are wrong because they have lists of reasons why they think the character is good, and the only thing you have going is Shadow is badass just cause, that's not alright, also saying Shadow is badass just cause that's not a reason. You shouldn't have to compare characters in my opinion a good character should be able to stand on there own without being compared to another character that has there own unique traits. For instance I like Shadow because of how subtle his emotions are, him crossing his arms shows he's protecting himself from something, that something is possible loved ones. He doesn't want to get close to anyone because he doesn't want to lose them like Maria. Shadow has ...more
I love shadow tour awesome I also agree that he is more superior than sonic because he has always been cooler than sonic even though sonic was created first!
Shadow and Sonic are almost tied for me (almost) but Shadow just beats out Sonic. I also love how Shadow and Sonic have this rivalry that's so iconic and hilarious! Shadow is just the coolest!V 452 Comments
Sonic is not only the greatest hero ever, he's also the sweetest, caring, and thoughtful hedgehog ever! He cares so much for his friends and to those he saves from danger, even if he met that person at least one time. Plus, I love his humor and cockiness XDD. I just don't understand why people favor Shadow more than the blue blur himself other than his attitude and weapons O. O? Don't get me wrong, Shadow's a great character and all, but Sonic'll always be the best, and fastest hedgehog around!
Sonic may have a rough personality, but he'll do whatever it takes to save the day!
Sonic is super fast never loses and is super awesome. The only people who can compete are Shadow the hedgehog and Scourge the Hedgehog. Even though Scourge isn't in the television show doesn't mean he isn't sick. He has even defeated Sonic and Shadow multiple times.
Sonic has a lot of character. He's fast, kind and a bit cocky as well as being fast and being a show off but who doesn't like a show off like him. He's a risk taker and like shadow, he never thinks twice as he would put himself at risk to protect his friends. - Gwuncan
No one is a real sonic the hedgehog fan if they don't like Sonic. I mean come on he is the fastest character in the game so if he is facing knuckles he would beat him up in a second just like when emerl used sonic's moves to defeat Knuckles in the sonic x series. Sonic defeated Shadow many times in the games like in Sonic generations. Don't get me wrong. I like All the characters on this list but Sonic will always be the 1st in my mind. People are starting to like Shadow and Silver more than Sonic, So that's why I think they made Sonic the only playable character in Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, and in Sonic generations and I think they should create a new gameplay for Sonic. So stop making Sonic look lame and boring and putting Shadow and Silver in the front.
Tails may have done the last assault on Sonic, but Sonic won the battle on Tails with just words on issue 179 in the comics - Infosreatcher
Sonic should be number one he is the main characters of the seriesV 321 Comments
I really don't understand why Silver is currently beating out both Tails and Knuckles on this list. I thought he was a pretty hated character! Anyways, Tails is by far my favorite Sonic character for a number of reasons:
1. He's pretty much just as iconic as Sonic himself, appearing in almost every Sonic game after Sonic 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than Sonic 1, I think Sonic CD was the only main series installment that Tails did not make an appearance in.
2. He can fly! I know a lot of other Sonic characters exist now that have flight abilities, but Tails was the first one to have this ability. Not only can he fly using his two tails to propel him in the air, but he's a pilot as well! Tails flies the Tornado, but I'm still not quite sure if the plane belongs to himself or to Sonic.
3. He saved Sonic's life. If you beat Sonic 2 as Sonic but don't collect all seven chaos emeralds, Sonic will be seen plummeting towards the earth, but then safely lands on ...more
really? Silver and Shadow are beating Tails in this? The commenter below is right, you are going to kill off an original, someone who has permanently made a positive mark in video games, just so you can see more furry 'SonAdow' or ShadIlver". You sonic fans blame Sega for sonics failure, when in fact it's the so called "fans" themselves doing the raping. I'll tell you what, try doing this poll by showing random people on the streets pictures of sonic characters, and tell me how may people know who shadow and silver are? nobody knows nor cares because they contribute nothing, but maybe that's why the games are going to crap, because sega sees stuff like this and thinks "oh, people love silver and shadow, lets do more stuff with them and throw out the old". Then you get *cough cough* shadow the hedgehog, THE GAME! what a great idea hahahahahaha!
And how is Being smart, mechanical, talented, brave, cute and unique NOT cool? Why do people hate Tails for that? ...more
You really are not showing why he is the best. You are just hating on shadow fans. I am a shadow the hedgehog fan, and it seems like you were threatened to... Unless you wrote this. Think good about tails, not bad about shadow.
1. In archie comic's "sonic the hedgehog issue 179" tails pretty much OWNED SONIC!
2. Tails has good connection to the chaos force and he's only a kid.
3. He was once sonic's sidekick but now he is a hero following his own path.
5. He actually has the most fan girls in the sonic series
6. Maybe in the next few years when he is older I think he will be just as badass as shadow
Sonic used to be smarter than Tails, now Tails is smarter than Sonic, which helped him to build weapons that he needs to win battles. Sure, Tails is better than Sonic when it comes to brains and driving skills, but Sonic's still better than Tails in more ways, which is fighting skills, chaos power and abilities.. And Boom Sonic had proven to be batter than Boom Tails, even if Boom Tails won the bet in capturing him. - Infosreatcher
He is just so frikin smartV 183 Comments
Knuckles has to be the best character going I mean in every game you play as him he has awesome powers, the ability to climb, glide, dig and has great fighting abilities, and you can't miss out the fact he looks so cool. I don't know if uve noticed but the major colours of most of the sonic characters is red and Knuckles is all red and the fact he looks awesome with his long dreadlocks and giant fists that look like boxing gloves but with spikes makes it even more cooler and he has the best looking shoes out of everyone. I mean come on he has mountain shoes with some kind of Lego piece on it that's just amazing. The only thing I'm mostly disappointed in I'd the fact he doesn't turn super in the new games its always Sonic, Shadow or Silver and that's now fair because Knuckles is just good enough to be Super too as he knows more about the Chaos Emeralds than anyone els as he guards the Master Emerald it's his duty to know more.
He's always been my favorite Sonic character. This guy is AWESOME! He stated out as an anti-hero in Sonic 3. One day Super Sonic was just flying around being all cool and stuff and BAM a red echidna named Knuckles hits Super Sonic so hard that it knocks the Chaos Emeralds out of him! Then Knuckles steals all of the emeralds! It's up to Sonic and Tails to get them back! Eventually Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles realize they have one common enemy, Eggman. By this time, Sonic had gotten all of the emeralds back. Now Sonic and Knuckles team up! Sonic actually gives the emeralds to Knuckles so he can start collecting the Super Emeralds! These emeralds are much stronger than the Chaos Emeralds. Then Sonic gets the Super Emeralds and becomes HYPER SONIC! Sonic defeats Eggman and the world is saved! But that is besides the point. Remember the beginning Super Sonic is supposed to be invincible, BUT Knuckles hit Super Sonic SO HARD that it knocks the emeralds out of him! Knuckles is SUPER STRONG! ...more
In the comic book, Knuckles is given more story than in the games. He has more responsibility, purpose, and mystery than Sonic does and even has a girlfriend. He's leader of the Chaotix, which I think is a good addition, has similar powers to Shadow, and is not the last of his kind, except in the games where he has none of that.
I don't know how edgy sonic become number 1?! knuckles deserve to be number 1 more than that edgy sonicV 144 Comments
Silver is phenomenal character. First of all, his design is unique for a male hedgehog - he looks much different from Sonic and Shadow. Silver's character is also very uncertain yet righteous. He actually takes time to rethink his actions in Sonic '06 and is very introspective because of this. He certainly wants justice and will fight evil with a slightly cocky, condescending, brave facade over his sensitive, insecure, and lonely heart. Unfortunately, most people probably only took notice of this facade (e.G. "It's no use! ") and labeled poor Silver as a annoying character. But, Silver is also a good friend. He has truly developed a friendship with Blaze and would never want her to leave his side; he would probably sacrifice his own life for her even though he would fight his emotions to do so. Silver is also very uniquely gifted with the talent of telekinesis/psychokinesis which expresses his mental capabilities. Although Silver is naive, he seems like he could overcome ...more - XxUltimateSoulxX
SILVER IS NO DOUBT THE COOLEST AND THE BEST SONIC CHARACTER OF ALL TIME! I don't know why you guys hate silver so much you just want him dead, but seriously this hedgehog is from the future: THE FUTURE! AND I KNOW YOUR GONNA HATE ME FOR SAYING THIS BUT SILVER IS BETTER THAN SHADOW AND I CAN COMPARE THE REASONS WHY.
SO SILVER IS MY NUMBER 1 FAVORITE CHARACTER. I don't HATE SHADOW. I JUST HATE SHADOW FANS KEEP TRASHING SILVER LIKE he's ...more
Silver the Hedgehog is so cute but still very annoying. Also, he sure can rival Princess Peach Toadstool (who sucks).
Let's imagine Silver was in a battle with each of the characters:
Sonic: No need to imagine that one, happened 3 times, 2 Silver almost killed sonic, 1 silver could have just killed Sonic if he wished (using meteor smash in front of him)
Tails:... If Silver beats sonic he beats Tails.
Knuckles: Tries to punch Silver Silver teleports away and hit him from behind.
Amy: Gets Piko-Piko Hammer. Silver picks up hammer with psychokinesis and trows it at Amy.
Cream: Cheese starts attacking because Cream can't do anything alone. Silver catches cheese with his powers.
Big:... Hm.
Shadow: Uses Chaos Spear. Silver can trow it back. Starts running at super speed. Great. What now? Silver can do that too. I really don't know why everyone thinks shadow can beat Silver. Look, at Generations Silver is more powerful than he was in Sonic 06. In Sonic 06 Silver fought Shadow to a stalemate. That means actual Silver (Generations Silver) could beat Shadow.
Rouge: Screw kick! Stop her ...more - corisco42
I'm a sega fan and like him because he looks coolV 265 Comments
It was really close between Blaze and Tails, but Blaze just barely wins. The fact that she initially starts out as a loner, yet eventually she learns about having friends in people like Cream, Marine, and especially Sonic really shows that she knows that she can trust others, even if she doesn't want it. This is due to the fact that she is the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, which are the polar opposite of the Chaos Emeralds. Having the power to control flames, as well as having a fear of heights show that Blaze has her strengths and weaknesses. This makes Blaze one of the most interesting characters in the Sonic series. - c0mf0rta61ynum6
Blaze is my favorite because of her skills she's very much like sonic exempt a cat, age, colour and gender are different. She has met several different characters like knuckles, cream, sonic (sonics rival), amy, shadow, marine, silver, tails and lots more. She owns her own demotion for gods sake that's awesome. She's princess and guardian of it. She may be serious and might not be good at making friends... But she's amazing. She has Sam qualities as sonic... She's fast, talk active in battle and so much more I just can't remember. I love cats they've got amazing abilities she uses a few of them. Her voice after in 2012 Olympic game was amazing it suited her! For crying out loud who doesn't like a cat with fire powers I would wish for my cat, Carla to have some sort of power... It would be wow! She doesn't have to many friends (like sonic) she is good at taking her time with trust it's not like randomly walk up "oh hi let's be friends" like in treasure team tango she says "my trust ...more
Blaze is probably one of the most complex characters. Her powers are strong and quite unique compared to the other characters. She also has one of the deepest background characters (I think she'd be the runner up to Shadow). Being bullied as a child for being different, she has a story that a lot people can really latch onto and relate to, which makes her so likable. She is definitely the best character (and probably the most underrated of them).
She is a female character done right. Her personality change in Sonic Rush is amazing and she is pretty unique gameplay wise. I don't see any reason to dislike her. Blaze is one of the few characters that almost never get any hate. Sure wish she would be playable again.V 95 Comments
Espio is probably the most underrated character on this list. He is shown to be highly intelligent (computer hacking, seeing through all the tricks of villains that for some reason nobody else can see, and being the brains and success from all the Chaotix missions) and is considered officially the 3rd fastest character in the series (behind Sonic and Shadow obviously) Also, he has high combat skills, heroic but not egoistical like Sonic, proven to be badass but not as overdone or overly dark like Shadow, and can be sympathized with for underrated-ness like Silver! And on top of ALL of that, he doesn't go out of his way to prove he did all these awesome things with a big, fat ego like characters higher on the list would do! He may have an ego at TIMES, but doesn't overdo it like Sonic, Shadow or that birdbrain Jet the Hawk. Granted the closest character personality wise is officially Espio, however the difference is that he is classified as a hero along with Sonic and Shadow is ...more
Espio is EPIC!
How many ninjas are there in the games? I mean, he's a detective and a ninja! How much cooler can you GET?
Also, he is calm and mature beyond his years. Except for a few parts in Archie.
Espio is just so awesome even Chuck norris dosent wanna look at him, and he is the most awesome and they should make an Espio game.
Espio is an amazing ninja chameleon who shoots loads of things from his sleeves. He is my favorite character off everything. It inspired me to like sonic the hedgehog and is on my favorite game Sonic Heroes for the ps2. I think that his speed matches Sonics speed. He can turn invisible and is a member of Team Choatix with Vector and Charmy.V 55 Comments
Rouge, to me at least, is the best sonic character EVER CREATED! If Sega tried to make someone better than Rouge, they would miserably fail, because she is the BEST! There's everything to love about her: her looks, her personality, her overall sexiness, and obviously, her coolness. She deserves her rightful place in the top 3. Also, I think she's better than even SHADOW. Yup, I just said that.
She is by far the best female sonic character, she is beautifull, smart tough, strong, independent and she makes a pretty good spy she is way better than the other girls
Rouge is the best character EVER! With her sassy, flirtatious and voluptous attidtude makes her by far the best character.
She is so sexy, smart and independent. love herV 58 Comments
Metal is fast, strong, and powerful. He has also fought Sonic and friends to a stand still. He is awesome! He is the best robot made by Eggman.
Villain that isn't afraid to kill in a kid's franchise, he's actually powerful enough to defeat sonic and pretty much the whole cast, he copies abilities so if anyone does beat him he can overcome defeat, one of the first characters in the franchise (meet him at rhe same scene as amy! ). I don't understand why he isn't more popular, other than because he hasn't been featured in a game for a while and kids haven't played games with him in it. Although, to be honest, I wouldn't want my favourite villain in a game in the future as all their games seem to suck now.
Metal was created to be better than Sonic in almost every way, and was a complete success on Dr. Robotnik/Eggman's part. Out of the Mecha Sonic series which includes Silver Sonics Mark 1+Mark 2, Metal Sonic 1.0, Mecha Sonic, Metal Sonic 2.0 and Metal Sonic 3.0(Comics exclusive). In whatever canon the Metal Sonic we know now (Metal Sonics 1.0 and 2.0) is the most powerful one in the series, both in the comics and games. Best invention Robotnik/Eggman has ever made hands down.
Metal sonic is the greatest sonic villain everV 41 Comments
I agree with all of you saying that amy rose stands out. sure she is a little violent and sonic doesn't return her love but her attitude and persistence and leadership is what stands out from all the other sonic characters. I personally believe shadow and amy should be a couple because opposites DO attract of course ;) and shadow thinks she is just like maria in every way. but back to what I was saying, if sega wouldin't change her completely but just lighten up on her and make her more appealing, THEN we could get somewhere with her part as a sonic team member. MAYBE she could appear older in the games, MAYBE should catch someones eye (not just for a split second), MAYBE she could be less violent and more reasonable, and MAYBE just MAYBE Sonic could be more attracted to amy (also a sonamy fan either way is good). Amy Rose may not be the oldest, strongest, or most calm person ever but I think sega could benefit from having a little change in a popular female sonic character. I have ...more
No no no shadow and amy should NOT BE a couple amy to persistent shadow would shoot her - crazysonicfan211095
Amy Rose has to be my favorite character. Many say she's obsessive, one-dimensional, and crazy, but I think otherwise. Amy is a character who represents hope and optimism. She represents perseverance and friendship. I feel as if Amy is underappreciated, and that her character has backpedaled throughout the games. Why? Amy was shown to be a Sonic-crazy, yet very passionate about her beliefs (even if they contradicted Sonic's) in the adventure series. Her character kind of took a step back in later games. The gag of her chasing and/or beating others/Sonic was dragged on too much, thus that being her only iconic trait, which I find unfair. Much like what happened to Knuckles (him getting dumber and dumber) has happened to Amy (her getting more and more obsessive). As of now, we haven't had a legit Sonic game for 5 years (although we do have Sonic Boon which has given Amy a much more proper way of dealing with her crush). Project 2017 is coming out next year, and if Amy IS in the game, I ...more
A lot of people fail to see the good within Amy Rose. People only see her as annoying, obsessive, stalker-ish. Yes, they may be somewhat true, but I don't think people are seeing what that represents. Sega created Amy to represent all the crazy fangirls out there, and that in itself is pretty funny. Amy isn't doesn't JUST have those negative traits listed above. She's kind, optimistic, funny, caring, quirky, and overall just sweet. In the Archie comics, Sonic and Sally were together. Did Amy go ballistic crazy and try to break them up? No, she respected Sonic's decision and said "I believe that we'll be together one day, but for now I just want him to be happy", or something along those lines. I just overall love Amy Rose

Hey, idiot! That was the second time you put Eggman on this list.
P.S. Sorry I called you an idiot.
Although I HATE Eggman, without him, the Sonic franchise is nothing.
Come on major villain, enough said
Remember that crude little meme he created? Haha yes - Brazencoronet17V 14 Comments
This music-loving, short-tempered crocodile with one of the most unique designs of the Sonic universe may seem to be solely after the money sometimes, but Vector has proven several times to be a real capable detective who will always help those in need for free. Thus, his detective agency is constantly short on money, but he is the only member of his team to worry about the rent and will take any job to pay off his debts. However, he is a generally optimistic and kind of childish character and enjoys hanging out out with his friend. He performs as the lead singer of his own band, which contains just the same members as his detective team, and believes to have a great singing voice, although it is rather destructive than enjoyable.
In my opinion, he has both an awesome design and an unique personality. Although the underdog of the franchise, he enjoys investigating way too much to give up his agency and gets behind secrets before anyone else does.
"So what if my mouth is big? I'm a crocodile! " ~ Vector the Crocodile, the detective who managed to piss off both Amy and Rouge during a single investigation. Stating himself he hates fighting the ladies, but doing it every time he appears. This guy is one of the most hilarious characters in the Sonic universe while simultaneously being one of its most clever ones, which alone makes him more than deserving for the top ten.
Ah, Vector, where do I start with you? Whenever he completes a job, he sometimes refuses to get paid because he thinks that helping people is reward enough and I think that's brilliant. My favourite animals are crocodiles and he has the best Modern design.
He needs to have some development away from Espio and Charmy and I would love to see him as a playable character again. I also find that he gets the worst treatment in the franchise.
I love Vector! Please bring him and his two Chaotix boys to Sonic Mania!V 24 Comments
I LOVE CREAM! Oh and yeah you guys should like at least be voted for, ya know what I mean. Doesn't any other guys think she's cute as well? (DON'T THINK I'M GAY because I'm NOT! )
She gets a lot of hate for nothing. People say that she's useless but she's awesome in Sonic Battle and Sonic Rush, and someone says that she's a clone of Amy with Tails abilities, but it's not true, Cream isn't a fangirl who only cares about how to chase her love interest character, nor is a yandere; yes she can fly like Tails, but the fly ability is not her main ability, her main ability is the one of having a chao as assistant, think of Rosalina & Luma from Smash Bros. Aside of Super Tails that's not canon, nobody else has a mini flying assistant that you can use in gameplay, in the Sonic cast; also she has unique design and she is not another hedgehog nor a recolor of someone else. I vote Cream because she gets a lot of undeserved hate from the fandom.
SEGA should get Cream to be Tails top tier number 1 apprentice so they will work together and hang out more because that would be fantastic and brilliant, change her age to 7 and give her a chance to start all over again but keep her sweet and helpful personality. Cream is really super brave and heroic she would do whatever it takes do get the job done, without breaking a sweat. Her voice sounds brilliant. She know how to defend herself and fight back no problem. Cream is never annoying at all. She knows how to be mature. people seriously need to get their minds straight NOW and she's not even useless nor cowardly at all because she can face up all sorts of challenges either with her friends or on her own in order to succeed. Cream also knows how to save and protect others from any danger or harm, even when she's doing her own secret vigilante crime fighting stuff even for fun. she's also supportive and super helpful to all her friends and others. whenever they need her even at most ...more
I love Cream! She's super cute and is just so PRECIOUS. I love her design and her friendship with Amy, while not as sweet as Sonic and Tails' friendship, is very touching. I think that it brings out the best in Amy. I also love all her voices. While most complain about her voice in Sonic X, I think it's fine, although Michelle Ruff is a lot better. I also love how she flies with her ears. That is so CUTE... 😍 - ShojojojoV 50 Comments
Without Eggman, the Sonic franchise is nothing. I mean come on he is a genius and his creations are way too epic. Without him there is no Death Egg, Metal Sonic, or any of the great enemies or bosses we have today. Sure he fails a lot, but that doesn't stop him. And he's hilarious when he's angry!
How can this guy NOT be more popular? It's moronic to even think. The doctor was created alongside Sonic. He's the cause of nearly every video game's events. Just because he isn't furry doesn't make him a poor character. Quite honestly, how in the bloody hell can a super transformation snag a place above the doctor? Or Metal Sonic?
He's the damn Eggman.
Every series needs a villian, and Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik certainly does the job! Without Eggman the franchise would be nothing. Even though Eggman will stop at nothing to beat Sonic, he has a bit of a soft spot to him, and that's what I love about him. He's got that comic relief edge that makes him fun to watch. Eggman is the best Sonic character. No doubt.
I hate Robotnik more than Eggman, especially since he's abused Scratch, my favorite character in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Anyone who finds that funny should have his or her ass handed to him or her.
I also hate Robotnik for abusing animals and yelling, "I hate the hedgehog," which I react by shouting, "Shut up, Robotnik."
So screw the bully of a boss and his fans!
Honestly I found this character through Mario and sonic at the olympic winter games. but he is an awesome ROBOT. (yes I know what he is) @:-D - masterblaster
The Sonic/ Mega Man & Crash Bandicoot franchises should not have a robotic setting whereas the main antagonists are old, male & evil scientists & the main protagonists are tall, lanky & same-color-obsessed males with annoying hairstyles. The Pac-Man franchise should, besides, Sonic is nowadays an adult.
He is awesome! Plus I like the back story of him as a robot, but he's still friend friends with Rouge and shadow!

Puberty hit Bean so hard he changed his name. - Smash64V 19 Comments
This guy had a lot of potential, but at the end he ended up being a generic doomsday villain with unclear reasons for his actions who won't appear again. He still has some pretty neat aspects, as he's also the same as Shadow (time-space related powers, born from an experiment, and obviously also the same looks) but more deranged and creepy. From a certain point of view, he is what Shadow would have become if he let himself sink deeper in his hatred. So when Shadow battles him, he is, in a way, fighting his inner demons.
P.S. His general hamminess, Dan Green's voice, and awesome boss themes also make him more enjoyable.
I think that sega should treat mephiles better because he only appeared in one game sonic 06. He's the best villain and the only sonic character that was able to kill sonic successfully. SEGA BRING BACK MEPHILES!
Mephiles is awesome and also I don't like sonic that much and he died because Mephiles. Mephiles is better than every other sonic character. Mephiles killed millions of people with iblis and he did it like the boss
He killed sonicV 34 Comments
She has a mix of knuckles and Tikal, along with shadow and espio. She is just what I like to call ( from Pokemon) a garchomp. Shade isn't in the series but everyone can still know her story. Shadow- she's not afraid to kill someone or something straight away, knuckles-she's kinda clever, Tikal- I think she was sweet until something happened, espio- she has ninja like skills! Who can't love her! If you don't like shade... Go sit in the corner and think about your life
She's makes a good sonic character shame she only appeared on sonic chronicles the dark brotherhood and she's an echidna and mysterious
Shade has a lot of potential to become the most favorite female Sonic character along with Blaze, she may need some character remodeling but she could make It top 10 easily. She deserves another chance to be in a sonic video game!
Shade was cool.V 5 Comments
Chip is my favorite character. He's got a cute design, an awesome voice actor, and his personality is adorable. He's so optimistic, hyper, and happy, but when things are looking bad or someone's feeling down, he's there for them, like a true friend. He's also got an awesome story. Poor guy had amnesia and couldn't even remember who he was. Even when he found out he's practically the god of light, and that it's his destiny to save the world, he never let it go to his head. He was still his same sweet, childish self. Also, I have something in common with him: we both love food!
In sonic unleashed after finale boss it's so cool at the end it's cool music one cut seem chip saved sonic in battle and made Gaia colosus with a rock temple chip also has a power a shield that protected sonic theirs a song called endless possibility the credit pictures are so beautiful and adorable. It's a cool character chip is if you beat dark Gaia again you can use super sonic and chip the

It's cool that they brought him back in Sonic Forces. 😂 But there wasn't any Chaos Boss Battle. 😕 - TopTenXV 9 Comments
Remember him from super mario bros z? He was so cool in that. Also he can fly and looks cool. But not just that he can blast people but best of all his super form is just so outstanding.
Just saying I don't think any super forms should count because they're the same person just different powers but that's beside the point, if there was a fighting tournament but only normal forms I'd think that mecha sonic would come close to winning because sonic has almost no powers in his normal form and most of sonics friends are weak (. Mainly charmy tails and amy etc) but shadow would have a good chance in his normal form. Reasons why I think mecha is powerful are he has a machine gun and rpg built into his arm and he did blow up yoshis island and defeated sonic and his friends and koopa bros and axem Rangers all at once (although half the battle he was in super form which is boss) but no one notices mecha much since he was only in sonic 3 and smbz. Also it was pretty cool when he said monster? I am no monster... I AM A GOD
MONSTER? I'm NOT A MONSTER... I'm A GOD!

Really guys! Come on gamma was programmed for mass destruction... Yet he made his own choices and decided to free the trapped animals in the other robots. He died just so the bird that was functioning him could be free with his family.
His death was the most heroic and human thing I've ever watched
Gamma is Boss! He betrayed his master and (SPOILER ALERT) Dies in a most depressing way. He really had a heart unlike those other robots...
The only thing in the Sonic series that made me cry was seeing Gamma's death. Beta, you have no soul, because your a robot.
Only Sonic character that made me cry.V 4 Comments
Super tails is faster than super sonic for some reason but super tails is 432%500 powerful which means super sonic is more powerful than super tails
Are we talking about the sonic here's super tails when his powers are terrible or the highly unused but released super power in sonic 2&3 when he gets the three flickies which destroy all robots in half the screen radius, can't be killed, unlimited rings, magnetism and infinity flight which made him the most brokenly beast character in sonic history, he had all of sonics power, divided between himself and 3 flickies and can fly higher and faster than sonic as well as actually go FASTER than SUPER SONIC whilst In HiS OWN SUPER FORM
Super tails was better before sonic heroes

Transformation not a character
Hyper sonic is just amazing I am not a fan boy but he is just too cool for words.
Hyper sonic is the best. Come on people, seriously?!
He has the ability to kill all enemies on screen can breathe underwater and travel at incredible speeds.
I cannot believe Chris Thorndike can beat one of the best characters in the entire series!

Badass sonicV 15 Comments
Tikal is my favourite Sonic character. She is so calm, helpful and always knows what's right. In the comics, she is a magical spirit and people pray to her. If I get the chance to work in SEGA I would absolutely make a game with her as the main character. "Chaos is power, enriched by the heart..." - the words I'll remember forever. Tikal is also very beautiful and her theme song always makes me happy. Even though she's not real, she is the thing that gives my life meaning. Whenever I feel sad or depressed, I think about Tikal. She is my idol. I've never seen someone so awesome, so perfect as she is! I even like her more than Sonic, I draw comics about her and listen to her song almost all the time. The world would be way better if we had more people like Tikal!
Definitely an underused character with lots of potential. Her interesting background and cool spiritual powers would make a great addition to the franchise, as well as provide a friend for poor, lonely Knuckles. Could have been a cool sidekick in guarding the master emerald. At the very least, have her be a reoccurring guide as the little ball of light from sa1. That would be better than omochao (shudder) or basic question marks for sure. Of course, with the series "returning to it's roots" aka "we're killing off all the non-classic characters and not actually changing much else" this will never happen.
I think Tikal is a very mature14 year old Echidna. The only thing though that would make Tikal better for me is if she lived in the present and not the past. Face it! We need more Echidnas in the games, sure there's a few in the comics, but the comics apparently aren't canon. Besides that I think she's mature, kind, thoughtful and genuine. She's deserves a place in the top 10-20 at least! So people please vote for Tikal for Tikal fans and her sake!
I love her. My favorite character in the universe, for now. She is always there to help others, even if means costing her own life. I personally thinks she's underrated. How can people like Blaze better than her? I mean, sure. Blaze got fire powers. SO? Her sacrifice was so out of character and does NOTHING. The events of Sonic '06 Never even happened. She still gets a happy life. And Blaze does nothing to protect Sonic when Silver was about to kill him. Talk about a friend! In my opinion,
1. Tikal
2. Shadow
3. Espio
4. Rouge
Something about Classic Sonic that makes him stand out from modern Sonic is that this little preadolescent 'hog is basically the first character you saw in a Sonic game. He even appeared before Sonic 1, as an ornament in a driving game! This was when Sonic was huge (even though he's like 2 feet tall, but still! ) (Note-to-self: Make Sonic power-up which grows the user. That'd be cool. ), he helped Sega lift its blue feet, marketed blast processing, rivaled Bart Simpson as the coolest 10-year old of the 90's, and least we forget- But if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's NO GOOD! Truly the best, in my opinion, as without him, Sega would be stuck with Alex Kidd!
In 1991 - 1994, sonic the hedgehog then was a fun game 1,2,3 and knuckles good times, now he's not fun as he use to be, at least he made a huge return I sonic generations which was fun.
I have played Classic Sonic games on Sonic Mega Collection ever since I first got it for the PlayStation 2.
He is the best and is better then modern sonic.V 7 Comments
Way better girl than Amy in my opinion.
Sadly, sally never got a game but she's my fave character. Sally is a dynamic character, love interest, and great leader she just got a bad rap because the comics ruined her (ken and karl made her unlikable and Ian Flynn made her miss perfect) but watch Satam she was bad@$$ and cool. She just never got the attention other characters did and now she stands as a hated character when she doesn't deserve it. So why don't you sonamy fantards look over your hate, think again about sally acorn.
Sally is a great sonic character. Even if she is a princess she is not stuck-up or bratty she is independent and cares about her friends. Why do people hate her so much and why are people calling her a Mary Sue look people her kingdom was taken over leaving her and her friends to survive in the woods just leave her alone. Sally is a great mother figure to Tails she wants him to be safe because she doesn't want him to be roboticized. Sally is my favourite sonic character

Yoshi's voice actor: Mike Posner, his height being 6'0" & weight being 125 pounds.
Marine is a cute 7 year old raccoon who should be in more sonic games!
I think marine should be playable!

Why is she on this list she's the worst sonic character EVER
I don't want her to appear in any more games!
She's a coward I could imagine her in Amy's arms Scooby Doo style and she has an I.Q lower than Patrick Stars and I'd oughta whack her with an oar if she comes into my house and eats all my food and attacks my sister like a Gremlin I would call Video Game Animal Control.
Sticks is really cool! Why do you hate her because she doesn't have much money! That's like saying you only like snobbish brats like Amy! Sticks has way more swag than Amy primrose
Annoying as hell. I do agree with her that robots are evil though. - Smash64V 8 Comments
Definitely one of the series more developed and serious villains. While I don't think he should personally make a return, the remaining Black Arms could still make for a good Shadow The Hedgehog 2.
He may only appeared in Shadow the hedgehog but he's still a awesome villain his personality is very similar to Mephiles
First villan in the sonic franchise that takes his work seriously and actually kills people
Silver is a bad butt guy and kicks butt as well he is the boss!

Super shadow should be fairly on second place since normal shadow is on first place.

Scourge is really underrated. Just because he's not in the video games does NOT mean he's not important. He is probably more powerful than everyone and even beat sonic, shadow, and the whole gang all at the same time. Shadow is still my favorite but you gotta give props to scourge as he is extremely powerful and straight up just bad@ss. (Yes I'm a huge fan of the comics)
Scourge is the best character (this is my opinion) and I really think he should be in the show it would be so much more interesting and to all those scourge fangirls he is amazingly hot and he s got a badass girlfriend to fiona fox and in my opinion her and tails don't belong together I mean she's a teenager and tails is like 8 I also think scourge should be in the top 5 and for crying out loud he s a king of his own planet
He is tied with Sonic and Shadow for fasted person. He also has more swagger than everyone else. Plus he looks super cool with his shades. He has also spanked Sonic and Shadow.
Scourge is an underused, awesome character. He is more interesting then Sonic, and he is also just plain cooler. You can get mad if you want, but Scourge is the best Sonic character.V 30 Comments

The best sonic character hands down
Creams mom sucks and has an annoying high pitched voice that's almost to soft to hear.
Why is she in the vote?
She appeared only in the cut scenes, she is not an actual playable. Character in any game!

MY FAVORITE IN SA2! (besides tails.)
my first chao was a her flight with pheonix wings named Soul. HE IS ADORABLE!
Shadow: eh
Sonic:I love em!

Shadow can't compare to the awesomeness who Emerl, Emerl can out speed, out strength, and completely destroy Shadow. "Ultimate Life Form"? Get real, Emerl is the true powerhouse.

Emerl is AWESOME in Sonic Battle he is your own character wich you can modify as you want. He appeared only in Sonic Battle and Sonic X and then he COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED! In Sonic Chronicles are involved loads of Gizoids (i think, I still didn't played that game) and HE STILL WASN'T THERE! Please SEGA Make him appear in more games! (P. S: forgive me if you spot some errors, I'm Italian after all :))
I agree with you, Emerl was an awesome character, in my opinion, hew wasn't really destroyed, did the thing tikal did and went into the chaos emerald - jay10
He beat knuckles... To be defeated by cream and cheese?!?!? 😧V 2 Comments
Just...Why is he gone? This character had an interesting design and great potential to be a rival/good guy like character. Think about it, he appeared in tons of games after his apparition in Triple Trouble(Sonic Drift 2, Sonic The Fighters etc...) He was even planned to be in Sonic Extreme before this game was cancelled.Along With Bean and Bark, I would love to see him in a future Sonic game as a Hero. Fang, Bean and Bark are my all time favorite characters from the sonic franchise.
Underused and underrated. He needs to return as a full time minor villain.
I mean, I like Mighty as much as the next person but we really need Fang a lot more, he was originally a main character in the series, and was the only villain that is an animal until his subordinates Bark and Bean were first added, and even then, they're only evil in the comics. This guy would make a great anti-hero/anti-villain a criminal that still helps sonic and co when he feels the need to, but he can also be an enemy towards the cast, depending on the situation. I wonder if he would still be here if Sonic X-treme was made.
He is without a doubt my most favorite Sonic character. It's sad that he's not in many of the games,he is very underrated and not a lot of people know him. I really like his personality,plus he's one of those really funny and goofy characters,we don't have a lot of those around. And people who dislike him HAVE NO SOUL! (sorry if I offended you lol)V 1 Comment
If there's ever going to be sonic adventure 3 I would like to see him as a playable character. He is great character in archie comics.
I really love his former design in Archie comics and I wish they could use it if he ever returns in games.
Deserves a lot more fans.
I like him in sonic mania plusV 11 Comments
My personal favorite Comic exclusive. The comic will never be the same without her... (Insert sad song here. Good examples are: Chrono Trigger- A Far Off Promise, Fire Emblem- Reminiscense, and Mother 3- It is Finished)
Julie su is actually revealed to be Ishaima's wife!
Knuckles: sigh. I wish I could see you again

Golf: The Answer to Injured Veterans Ongoing Recovery
Veterans with disabilities being seen at the Iowa City VA Health Care System now have the opportunity to learn and play the game of golf as the result of the efforts of three area entities. The VA Health Care System in Iowa City, the Iowa Section of the PGA and Riverside Casino & Golf Resort® established the G.I.V.E. (Golf for Injured Veterans Everywhere) Foundation which raises money to fund the program.
The golf program has four phases of training for veterans to enhance their mental, social, physical, and emotional well-being and improve their quality of life: Introduction to golf (rules, equipment, dress, scoring, etiquette, etc.), Indoor instruction, Outdoor practice at Blue Top Ridge and Golf rounds at Blue Top Ridge."The opportunity to give back to our men and women in the Armed Forces is what this program is all about. It is the least any one of us could do to show our appreciation of and respect for the men and women who serve our country," said Riverside Casino & Golf Resort® CEO, Dan Kehl.

Woman Faced Jail Time for Dastardly Crime of Filming a Slaughterhouse
A woman stands on the sidewalk and uses her smart phone to record what is happening across the street in broad daylight. Police arrive and charge her with a violation that carries a possible penalty of six months in jail.
It sounds like a story from an oppressive regime in a third-world country, or maybe Arizona. No, this happened in Utah because of the state's ag-gag law.
The sinister phone-wielder in this case, 25-year-old animal rights activist Amy Meyer, was set to be the first person prosecuted under an ag-gag law.
Meyer went to film the slaughterhouse because she heard that people standing on public property could see into the facility through its barbed-wire fence and, as she put it, "witness the horror of cows struggling for their lives as they were led to their violent deaths."
Ag-Gag Laws
Ag-gag laws are meant to help factory farms and related businesses keep the secret of how they abuse animals. Several states have them (Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Iowa, and Missouri) , and many other states are considering adopting similar laws (Arkansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wyoming). Generally they criminalize photographing or recording the goings-on at factory farms, even if you aren't trespassing or hiding your activities.
These laws are a defense against more investigations like the numerous recent operations that disclosed evidence of shocking cruelty and other legal violations by Big Ag. The resulting scandals led to plant closures and product recalls. It's no wonder that agribusiness wants to silence people who reveal their gruesome secrets: the consequences hit them in their wallets. None of them want to see a plant close because of one intrepid worker with a hidden camera.
The fact that legislators pass these laws (some of them — others have rejected ag-gag bills) proves how deep they are in Big Ag's pockets. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the laws are "flagrant violations of the First Amendment." It seems pretty obvious why.
The Videographer: Amy Meyer
Meyer committed her dastardly deed of standing on a public sidewalk and pointing her phone camera on February 8th; 11 days later prosecutors filed a charge of misdemeanor agricultural operation interference against her. (How could she interfere by standing quietly across the street?)
Her story ends well: after she pleaded not guilty, Utah dropped its charge against her. Authorities kept her on the hook for two months before dismissing the charge, and could bring it again, though that seems unlikely — it appears that Utah officials were reacting to an avalanche of bad publicity (the story crashed reddit.com's front page for an hour) when they dropped the charge, and wouldn't welcome a second publicity dump.
The charge's dismissal was a particularly lucky break for Meyer because the slaughterhouse she taped, the Dale T. Smith and Sons Meatpacking Company, is owned by the town's mayor, Darrell H. Smith — who also happens to be responsible for appointing the local judges. Yikes.
The public statement Meyer delivered suggests that she is not going to change her commitment to animal rights.
What I saw was upsetting, to say the least. Cows being led inside the building struggled to turn around once they smelled and heard the misery that awaited them inside. I saw piles of horns scattered around the property and flesh being spewed from a chute on the side of the building. I also witnessed what I believe to be a clear act of cruelty to animals – a live cow who appeared to be sick or injured being carried away from the building in a tractor, as though she were nothing more than rubble.
At all times while I documented this cruelty, I remained on public property. I never once crossed the barbed wire fence that exists to demarcate private and public property. I told this to the police who were on the scene.
I am shocked and disappointed that I am being prosecuted by Draper City simply for standing on public property and documenting horrific animal abuse while those who perpetrated these acts are free to continue maiming and killing animals.
Now Meyer won't be prosecuted, but whether the slaughterhouse will be able to continue business as usual is an open question.

The first issue of New Day is hot off the press and being given out free for the first day.
Many people have already praised the new paper for its positive approach to news, as well as the bravery in starting a new publication.
Very strong first frontpage for The New Day, which launches tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/qrtVAoBwGq— Stephen Bush (@stephenkb) February 28, 2016
Welcome to the New Day newspaper - a sign that at least some publishers are capable of innovating and not just accepting inevitable decline— Raymond Snoddy (@RaymondSnoddy) February 29, 2016
@mediaguardian the world of #journalism can't wait to follow this one. A very brave move in constantly evolving profession.— MTFFilm_TV (@MTFFilm_TV) February 29, 2016
The New Day paper looking good. Next the real litmus test - the crossword! @thenewdayuk— Chris Bull (@chrisbull1980) February 29, 2016
Some were less impressed however...
I agree with this in The New Day but I find the paper thin & lacking in intelligent comment. I want substance. pic.twitter.com/KnZBk01JQD— Ian Black ☕ (@canonianblack) February 29, 2016
So this "New Day" paper is abysmally designed, with content so banal it makes other tabloids look erudite. Best avoided.— Scott Matthewman (@scottm) February 29, 2016
Well, from what I've seen of it The New Day doesn't look like a paper that's going to last very long. Will it even outlive the Indy?— Simon (@HungryHatter) February 29, 2016
But, as with anything new on the market, there's always a few learning points to takeaway. So here's what we liked about New Day:
1. Their positive news angle
New Day has pledged to take a positive approach to reporting the news. In the introduction to its first ever edition, it said: "We'll have good news not just bad. Like life."
With what can seem like a daily onslaught of doom and gloom, it may come as a relief to many readers to get some more upbeat stories in their daily paper.
2. No 'Women's' or 'Men's' sections
Rather than placing sport at the back of the paper like the old-schoolers, New Day has placed it in the middle.
The paper explained: "Even the sport is in the wrong place. Because we want to create a paper without men's and women's sections.
"We know women are interested in a whole lot more than diets and handbags. And men don't want no-go ares in their paper.
"Here we want every page to be enjoyed by everyone."
3. Keeping it short and sweet, without missing out on the important stuff
Space is always a constraint for newspapers and New Day only has 40 pages to play with.
But they have promised to be "dedicated to ruthlessly editing the world's events", while still providing a useful briefing on what's going on.
This idea of a concise but thorough briefing might sound familiar to fans of i, the paper launched as a sister to The Independent. And indeed in a letter to newsagents urging them not to compromise i's prominence on newsstands, the paper remarked of New Day: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".
4. It's written for readers and not journalists
As journalists, it's easy to fall into the trap of writing something you yourself would read.
But New Day has promised to avoid this.
It said: "We aim to write like we speak. Like we're doing here. Because we don't think we're anything special.
"We're just fairly normal people who want to create a paper you'll enjoy."
5. Keeping some things more traditional
While New Day is all about a different approach to news (the clue is in the name), it has also kept some things traditional.
Its Bigger Picture feature, using a double page spread to show off a particularly striking image, showcases old school picture power in a similar way to The Guardian's Eyewitness.
They've also kept things like the crossword and horoscopes (if you're so inclined).

IBM is adding encryption as a standard feature on its enterprise-class tape storage drives.
The TS1120 tape drives will include native encryption capabilities from now on, the company said in a short statement. By placing the encryption capability on the drive itself, users won't have to eat up CPU cycles on servers or tax the network. IBM also announced that it will be offering encryption key management software.
Big Blue briefed analysts last month on its plan to include encryption at the drive level, but did not make a formal announcement at the time. Its addition, particularly the key management, is important for users who have been concerned about the security of their storage, particularly at remote offices.
Although high-profile losses of tapes and laptops have stimulated the industry to look at security, IT managers are "cool at best" about enforcing security at the storage device level because of performance concerns, said Data Mobility Group analyst John Webster. The inability to manage the keys was also possibly making data inaccessible by not being able to decrypt it, he added.
Performing encryption at the drive level also means that both compression and encryption can be performed at the same time. The centralized key management system works with both the z/OS mainframe operating system and with open systems. Pricing is not yet available.
