Believe it or not, 'The Conjuring,' about real-life demonic possession, is a 'family' movie
More News from Brylle B. Tabora
Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville.
"The Conjuring" is based on the true story of the couple Ed and Lorrain Warren, two world-renowned paranormal investigators who encountered what they considered to be the most terrifying case of a haunted family set in the town of Harrisville. The movie is directed by James Wan, who directed the first of the "Saw" series and "Insidious."
Twin brothers Chad and Carey Haye co-wrote the screenplay after acquiring a document detailing what happened to the terror-stricken Perron family.
They wanted to take a different approach in the film, telling it from the paranormal investigators' point of view, detailing the trauma of the experience and its eventual toll on them.
"Chad and I were given a document that happened to the Perron family, like a three-page synopsis thing, and while we were reading it, there was a little blurb in there that the Warrens were the case investigators," Carey says. "So Chad and I said, instead of just doing the moving van pulling up to the house and it's a haunted family story, we found it more interesting to tell the story from the paranormal investigators' perspective: What rocks their world?"
Chad and Carey, who had written "The Reaping," starring Hilary Swank," and the remake of the 1953 horror classic "House of Wax," said what they both loved about writing the film is that there is a contrast between two couples: the Warrens, who are devout Catholics and respected demonologists, and the Perrons, who are anything but religious.
"These strangers crossed paths over some very ugly entities," Carey says. "They took a very daunting journey, and going through their steps, we just got hooked. It became an obsession."
It also gave us an opportunity to hopefully tell it more than one time," says Chad. "If you like these characters and you understand them, as Carey said, being the preeminent paranormal investigators with the newest of the tools at the time that are so archaic, no cell phones, absolutely nothing. It was absolutely fascinating, and with Ed's connection with the Catholic Church and the authority to go do all this stuff, it was like, 'Wow, these guys were at the top of their game.' They did cases all over the world."
'The Exorcist' craze
In fact, the Harrisville incident took place when demonic possession was very much in the popular imagination because of the showing of the hit movie, "The Exorcist."
"When all this was happening to the Perrons, 'The Exorcist' had just come out," Chad says. "So the Catholic Church was very worried about negative PR, because already people were like, 'What? Does that really happen?' So, because the Perrons weren't parishioners, which is in the movie, and the kids had never been baptized, the Church refused to help them, and that's why Ed stepped up because he felt like they had no choice. Horrible things were happening to Carolyn Perron. Now, of course, we condensed the time period and put it into a film."
Chad said they set out to write a family drama set in the horror genre world without the gore and bloodshed.
"Our approach in writing films is we treat them like roller coasters," he said. "Roller coasters are terrifying sometimes, but we all go on them, most of us maybe, knowing that we're safe; we're in a movie seat, but we get to do that thing where we just know something's coming. And then you get there and you go through the scare, go riding around or whatever, and then you get to breathe again."
It is equally a family movie as it is a horror show, as how Chad would put it, where strong family ties are put to a test in the midst of all the terror.
"For us, instead of it just being an A-to-Z horror movie, it was very important to Lorraine that we perceived them as a great couple because they were," Chad says. "They had a wonderful, happy marriage in the world where you were dealing with conflict daily. We wanted you to walk away and think the Perrons had heart and soul and the Warrens had heart and soul. So that's where the triumph was, is the family staying together through conflict."
"The Conjuring" opens August 21 nationwide.

Type of Surgery
Last updated: 11/24/2009
All surgery carries some risk due to heart and lung problems or the anesthesia itself, but this risk is generally very small. (The risk of death from general anesthesia for all types of surgery, for example, is only approximately one in 1,600 surgeries.)
most common risk of the surgery is infection, which occurs in 1–2% of cases. Rarely, the surgery damages nerves in the lower back or major blood vessels in front of the disk. Occasionally, there may be some residual paralysis of a leg or bladder muscle after surgery, but this is the result of the disk problem that necessitated the surgery, not the operation itself.
This animation shows the steps involved in an anterior cervical disc replacement. The cervical spine is the spinal area that supports the head while the disks of the spine are the relatively soft areas between individual vertebra (spinal bones). As the animation shows, this cervical disc replacement involves the removal of the natural, diseased cervical disk and the replacement with an artifical joint.

Other Information
One of the most common types of back surgery is disk removal (diskectomy), the removal of an intervertebral disk, the flexible plate that connects any two adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Intervertebral disks act as shock absorbers, protecting the brain and spinal cord from the impact produced by the body's movements.
The surgery is done under general anaesthesia, which puts the patient to sleep and affects the whole body. Operating on the patient's back, the neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon makes an opening into the vertebral canal, and then moves the dura and the bundle of nerves called the "cauda equina" (horse's tail) aside, which exposes the disk. If a portion of the disk has moved from between the vertebrae out into the nerve canal, it is simply removed. If the disk itself has become fragmented and partially displaced, or not fragmented but bulging extensively, the surgeon will remove the bulging or displaced part of the disk and the part that lies in the space between the vertebrae.
— Carol A. Turkington
Other Information
New procedures like minimally invasive procedures are often subject to scrutiny, but I think that one of the biggest problems facing these innovative procedures is for people to understand exactly what we do.

BSP supremo Mayawati today said her party will not oppose the appointment of Nripendra Mishra as Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister and support the TRAI Amendment Bill in Parliament. "Centre has the right to choose its officers and decide how they want to run the government," she said outside Parliament when asked whether her party will oppose the Bill.
The NDA government moved the Bill to remove a legal hurdle in appointment of former chairman of telecom regulatory body Mishra as PS to the Prime Minister. NDA does not enjoy majority in the Upper House and depends on support of other parties like SP, BSP and AIDMK to sail through. "We have no objection to Mishra's appointment as he is a good officer. Government at the state or Centre can choose its officer," she said.
The government is keen on getting the Bill passed as it aims to replace its ordinance, or executive order, amending the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRAI) Act, which barred Misra from taking any government post.

From what I can tell there's more than just two characters that you can earn which I'll get into later in the guide, but they may not be what you expect. This game blows all the doors off of the other two Hunter titles, the original for the X-Box, and the contiuation of the story on the Playstation 2. This game is flat out badass, with alot to run into in the game. Best of all you can use your Hunter that you leveled up from a previous game into a new game to make them even far more deadly. But enough of all this, lets get down to the reason why you're here for......my help to getting you out of Ashcroft alive one more time. I'll do what I can to make this without as many SPOILERS as I can, but no promises. Also if you're a fan of Hunter: The Reckoning then goto www.hunterthereckoning.com for more on all things Hunter. - The Hunters that survived: Martyr - Alex Hall Avenger - Levi Thomason Judge - John Linton Defender - Lee Hollar This is the team that beat the game and showed me the info of what to expect in this game. We fought long and hard to once again make it out on top of the evil that lies inside Ashcroft, plus the info needed to make this walkthrough possible. Though we argued alot we still managed to defeat the game, so you should be able to follow the same path that we took to glory. Good luck fellow Hunters.......

Back then it was to combat a supernatural evil from the Shadowlands. Since then, a corporation called Genefex has moved in and revitalized the shattered city. They have purchased the abandoned prison grounds and renovated and expanded it to hold their corporate offices. Genefex, which manufactures everything from cosmetics to toys has given jobs to the people of Ashcroft and brought back stability to their lives. The streets are clean, and the commercial district is thriving. With the rebuilding of the Old Town, newer and larger buildings have sprung up all over the River District. It is a prosperous time for all of Ashcroft this holiday season...but Genefex and it's CEO are discovering that evil is never far from Ashcroft and all that the corporate might of Genefex can do little against the forces of supernatural evil. - That's how things stand for you and other Hunters in this game. For those of you that are new to the Hunt, let me recap on the past incidents that you had to fight in Ashcroft. There are plenty of references to the first incident that happened in Ashcroft where you went one on one with a vampire out for his own happiness (The first Hunter: The Reckoning that was on X-Box and later on GameCube) to the second incident where the original team of Hunters that calmed the town of Ashcroft the first time battled against a cult that had nestled itself inside Ashcroft (The version that was only on the Playstation 2). I myself have fought through both incidents and know the story pretty well. For those that are new, here's where to get caught up...... - Ten years before the battle that you're about to face, a team of Hunters by the names of Kassandra Cheyung, Spencer "Deuce" Wyatt, Samantha Alexander, and Father Esteban Cortez fought against the evil that had plagued Ashcroft for 50 years. Since the 1940's a group of vampires made Ashcroft their home. They had gained control over the local Ashcroft Prison and used that place as their own personal feeding ground. The inmates that were sent there were either used as food or for sick and twisted experiments. No one on the outside knew about what had been going on in the prison for close to 50 years, until a prisoner by the name of Nathaniel Arkady was sent there for execution. Arkady was "different" compared to the other prisoners and the vampires wouldn't go near him. They would push his execution date up more and more to get rid of him faster. A year before the incident occured Nathaniel Arkady was set for execution. The resident prison chaplain was Father Esteban Cortez himself. He was the last person to speak to Arkady before his execution. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew there was something "off" about Arkady. A local officer that day named Samantha Alexander was allowed to bear witness to Arkady's execution and watched from the room. A drifter also by the name of Spencer "Deuce" Wyatt decided to also be a witness to Arkady's execution since Deuce basically lived for this stuff. Also present that day was Kassandra Cheyung, a teenage girl who was the sole heir to her parents fortune and company Fairday Manufacturing. All of them were not prepared for what was about to happen to them for watching Arkady's execution. It may of been that somewhere down the road they would be "imbued" with supernatural powers, but due to circumstance of that execution they were all four imbued by the Messengers to become Hunters. Arkady was to be put to death by the electric chair. When he was killed, spirits that had been occupying his body were released and sent out on a rampage. The four new Hunters didn't know what to exactly expect, but they succeeded in putting the spirits to rest. They boarded up the Prison and all decided to go their own ways from there. They all thought that the nightmare was over in Ashcroft, but they were all sadly mistaken. A year after Arkady's execution some high school kids decided to have a rave setup inside the prison. The rave woke the spirits up and they attacked not just the prison itself, but the entire town of Ashcroft as well. Cortez was staying in Ashcroft since his imbuing and when he caught wind of the evil that was awaken he sent out for the other three that had promised to return should the evil ever awake again. It took the other three Hunters some time to get there, and when they did the town was already in shambles. The people were not able to see the possesed for what they really were, and called the whole thing a riot. The Hunter's first objective was to get the trains working again. They would need about 50 people to go back and work on the train in order to get it running again for all the innocents of Ashcroft to escape. They hit the streets and came across a teenage girl that was babysitting a young girl named Kaylie Winter. The four Hunters gave their word to find the young girl, and with a lead they headed to the elementary school. They were first greeted by a hulking creature that was sent out to destroy the Hunters, but they managed to defeat the creature. With it gone a new face entered the fray. A man who called himself Carpenter appeared before the four Hunters with Kaylie safe and sound. The Hunters knew that Carpenter was a rot, but he talked and was extremely intelligent. They didn't know what to make of him or what he wanted. Carpenter gave them some inside info on how the incident happened and where to take Kaylie. Her parents were waiting for her at the nearby church. From the elementary school the Hunters made their way to the churchgrounds. They had to cross the massive Ashcroft Cemetary that surrounded the church itself. The cemetary was very old and since it was occupied by so many dead people, you could expect that they were all up and running about. The four Hunters managed to get through the cemetary and safely escort Kaylie to the church. Kaylie was overjoyed to see her parents and ran for them with her arms wide open dropping her favorite stuffed teddy bear along the way. Her parents embraced her lovingly and were glad to see that she was safe from the riots. but things were not going to stay happy for long. Her teddy bear that she had dropped became possesed and grew to enormous size. The teddy bear reached a full ten feet tall with nasty powers to boot. The bear looked down at Kaylie and her parents and with one quick and powerful swipe, killed Kaylie's parents. Kaylie who at first couldn't see any of the monsters or rots that the Hunters were fighting throughout the cemetary, she could now see this demonic teddy bear for what it was. This was the moment that Kaylie became imbued with the powers of a Hunter. The four Hunters fought and eventually killed the Teddy Bear, but they could not bring back Kaylie's parents. Carpenter showed up soon after they had defeated the bear and showed them a way into the prison to get at the source of what was behind all of this evil. They left Kaylie in the care of a nearby survivor and instructed them to go to the subway to help out with the train. They ventured forth into the Catacombs of Ashcroft, and found a way through this underground maze to the very entrance of Ashcroft Prison. They had to battle a clan of vampires that occupied the Catacombs as their home, but they made out due to Cortez's priest hood. Now that they were back to where it all began they searched out for the one person that they believed to be behind all of this: Nathaniel Arkady. While they searched the grounds for Arkady, battling hordes of rots, raver rots, and rot dogs, they came across an old mansion situated inside the prison. This was suppose to be the Prison Warden's home, and the four Hunters decided to check there for any leads. When they went through the mansion they finally came across the Prison Warden himself thought to be dead: Degenhardt. After a brief discussion with him they found out that he was in fact a vampire himself. Since they were Hunters they couldn't allow for him to live, and fought against him. The Hunters defeated Degenhardt and went on to Death Row of the prison where Arkady was suppose to be. They traveled through the Cell Blocks and then to the Hospital Wing via the rooftops. As they traveled through the Hospital Wing they stumbled across Hadrian, a doctor that was working for Degenhardt. He was responsible for making creatures such as the Skitters and the creature they fought at the elementary school. Hadrian was working with three corpses when the Hunters walked in on him, and a battled ensued. The Hunters succeeded in killing Hadrian, but they didn't know what he was using those corpses for. Rather not find out if they were to be new creatures to fight later on, the Hunters soon burned the corpses into ashes. From the Sewer ways the Hunters made their way into the Prison Workshop where the very mechanical parts themselves came alive and attacked the Hunters. After traveling through this area and onto another Cell Block, they made it to Death Row. There they were first greeted by Carpenter who congratulated them on surviving this far. Carpenter told them about his history with Ashcroft and the Prison. He was once a prisoner of Ashcroft Penitentiary that like the other inmates was tortured and used as food. When Carpenter moved to the other side he wanted nothing but revenge, and he slowly started to become a living entity of destruction. He came back to this side on his own without the help of whatever force was causing the evil spirits to rise. He came back to give Hadrian a lesson in pain by giving him days of nonstop torture, the same that Hadrian did to him once before. But to Carpenter's surprise the Hunters had killed Hadrian before he could even get to him. Carpenter's plans of revenge were destroyed and he was more than upset with the Hunters. In a rage Carpenter attacked the Hunters to exact out his revenge that he had planned for Hadrian on them. It took the Hunters all they had to actually defeat Carpenter and kill him. From the room that they fought Carpenter in, they moved on to the very room that Arkady was executed in, the very place that all this trouble started over a year ago. Arkady was sitting in the electric chair that had supposedly killed him in the first place, but there he was, alive like it never happened in the first place. Arkady talke to them for a moment about how the tear into the Shadowlands happened and helped them to realise who was originally behind the entire Ashcroft mayhem: Degenhardt. He helped them to realise why he did it. Degenhardt wanted his family back from the dead, and he needed Hadrian to come up with new bodies for them to occupy. That's what Hadrian was working on when the Hunters interupted him. They all thought to themselves that they defeated Degenhardt already, but if he was the cause of it, then why hadn't all the creatures and even Arkady himself been taken back to the hell that they all came from? Degenhardt wasn't dead and he was controlling Arkady to lure the Hunters away from him. He had Arkady attack the Hunters then and there. They fought a tiresome battle with Arkady, and eventually won over on him helping him regain some of his conscious self back. He ordered the Hunters to run from him and to get Degenhardt once and for all. The Hunters made a bee line for Degenhardt's mansion, with Arkady himself getting in the way often enough. The Hunters eventually made it to the mansion, and there they watched as Degenhardt himself killed Arkady once and for all effortlessly. Degenhardt was furious with the Hunter's intervention of his plans and opened up a portal to the Shadowlands that he was going to use to not only bring back his dead family, but to send the Hunters to an eternal hell. The Hunters watched as Degenhardt transformed into his true self. They attacked with everything they had, but nothing would work since he had that portal open, it feeding constant energy to him allowing him never to die. The Hunters were running out of options until they noticed a boarded up window with sunlight beaming out of the few cracks. They immedieately tore the boards off and flooded the room with sunlight, exterminating all of Degenhardt's vampiric powers. The portal that was open would not let him die from the sunlight, but since the sunlight drained him of all his powers he couldn't control the portal no longer, and in a violent burst of energy, was thrown into the portal. All the spirits and creatures that were running loose throughout the town of Ashcroft was violently and suddenly taken back to the other side. The Hunters managed to get enough people to help with the repairs of the train, and at the last possible second they all escaped from the town of Ashcroft as wave of energy was sent in a radius miles around from the town. The Hunters were protected by a barrier that would keep them safe from the energy's harm thanks to the Messengers. As the four Hunters looked out at the new day's dawn they all knew that it was finally over and that they could all rest from the hell that once occupied Ashcroft...... ......or so they thought....... - Close to about 5 years later two Hunters that were taking on the forces of darkness by the names of Joshua Matthews and a man known as Devin in the town of Ashcroft. They had come across a plan that was beyond their comprehension and needed help. Joshua decided that the only people that could help were the ones that originally fought against the forces of evil that once occupied Ashcroft. Joshua sent out an e-mail to Deuce, Kassandra, Esteban, Samantha requesting that they come to Ashcroft immedieately. Though Sam, Deuce, and Kassandra were reluctant to come to Ashcroft once again, they decided that they should investigate what was going on there. When they got to Joshua's apartment they found it empty and no real clues as to where either of the two Hunters went. They found various maps and videos of what they were investigating and decided to start off in the area that they had recently checked through. They picked up some extra tapes and clues giving them information that a cult of some sort had taken up residence in the town of Ashcroft. They were still a bit puzzled by things and decided to search the area for more clues. They soon came across a woman named Emma that could see the creatures for what they were, but she didn't Hunt like Hunters, rather she assisted them from the sidelines. Emma gave the Hunters a new location to start searching for in hopes of finding Joshua and Devin. She said to look for a man in the Apartment District by the name of Le Roi. She said that he should be more helpful in getting them into a few areas of the city as well as finding the missing Hunters. After a thurough search of the area the find Le Roi and eventually Joshua. Joshua lets them in on what happened to him, telling them about how they were surrounded in the graveyard and taken prisoner by a werewolf. They were then taken into the prison where the cult leader was taking an affection to Devin for some reason. Joshua soon blanked out again, but was resuced by none other than Carpenter himself, the man that was thought to be killed by the Hunters 5 years ago. Carpenter had his own reasons for helping out Joshua and trying to destroy the cult, but rather than waste time thinking about why he was around, the Hunters with the help of Le Roi, busted into the prison. It was there that they traveled through the familiar ground that they once came through 5 years ago to stop Arkady. They made their way through the Cell Blocks until they reached the Inner Sanctum that was the base of the cult's operations. A Witch was the leader of the cult and was holding Devin hostage. The Hunters fought bravely against this supernatural woman, and killed her after a tough battle. They rescued Devin, but then Devin turned on the Hunters and decided that the only to actually save the world is by killing all the people that the Shadowlands creatures wanted. The Hunters could not allow for Devin to harm people, and they followed him around the Hospital Wing resucing innocents and stopping Devin. Then on the roof of the Hospital, they had a final showdown with Devin killing him after a grueling battle. The Hunters thought that now their troubles were over, Devin's dead body soon floated into the air and released a surge of energy that the Witch had previously endowed inside him. This surge caused a huge Tower to shoot out from under the ground and high into the sky. This medievil tower was where the Hunters knew that the final battle with whatever was behind all of this was going to be. With great effort they climbed the tower and soon reached the top. To there surprise, Carpenter was there to stand before the creature known only as Nephrack telling it that no matter what it tried to do to get to the world of the living, it was going to fail. It may have been a type of deity in the Shadowlands, but on this side, it lost all it's holy glory. Carpenter vowed that once it was defeated he would wait for Nephrack on the other side in the Shadow lands to give it more doses of pain. The Hunters stood before Nephrack and saw that it was only staying on this world because it still had the Witch's body intact, and used it as an anchor. The Hunters fought against Nephrack, knowing that this was a battle that none of them ever expected. After some time of fighting, the tide moved into the favor of the Hunters and they slowly but surely defeated Nephrack, sending it back to the Shadowlands never to be heard from again. After the long and tiring battle, the Hunters rested momentarily at Joshua's apartment. There they talked about where they would go from there, and soon left on their own ways knowing that they once again destroyed the evil that had once plagued Ashcroft. - With that you know enter the town of Ashcroft once again, but this time it's nothing like it use to be. Everything that you once knew about Ashcroft has changed due to it's industrialization. A whole new hell awaits for you as once again you must travel to the town of Ashcroft. 2) The Controls - Can't become a successful Hunter without knowing the proper controls. Here's where to learn the various ups and and downs of the game. - Basic Controls Movement - Left Thumbstick Aim - Right Thumbstick Walking Backwards - Hold the Left Thumbstick in one direction and the Right Thumbstick in the opposite direction Strafe - Hold the Left Thumbstick in any direction and then press the Right Thumbstick at a 90 degree angle from the left thumbstick Jump - Left Trigger Roll - While Strafing press the Left Trigger Melee Attack - Select your Melee Weapon with X and then use the Right Trigger Ranged Attack - select your ranged guns with X or B and then use the Right Trigger to fire Action - press the A Button to do various actions throughout the game, and to reload your guns Camera Zoom - Use the D-Pad to zoom the camera *Special Note* - In this game you can only carry three weapons that you find laying around. You can't carry all the weapons in the game at once like before, so keep that in mind and be ready to trade out with weapons as you see them come to you in the game. To trade out weapons, you must first use up all the ammo on one weapon to clear up a spot, then pick up the weapon. This is the only way to get upgraded stuff through out the game. Also in order to pick up ammo for say the Combat Shotgun you must find other Combat Shotguns. Unless you're carrying two different shotguns to share ammo with, then you must that specific gun laying on the ground in order to pick up ammo for it. - In-Game HUD - You character's current weapon in use will be displayed in the center of the circle in the corner of the screen. On the top of half of the circle is a red outline. This is your health meter. The health meter will slowly dwindle down until your health is depleted and you are dead. The bottom of the circle is outlined in blue. This is your Conviction Meter. It shows how much energy you have left to do your Edge Attacks. This depletes only when you use an Edge or when a certain enemy attacks you. To gather up more life and Conviction, you can pick up red, blue and purple orbs that enemies drop when you defeat them, or when you find the right glyphs hidden throughout the stage that will give you back your health and Conviction. You can also use the Rejuvenation Edge to regain health if your Hunter has that Edge. The three meters beside your main HUD is what lists your level up for Melee, Ranged, and Conviction attacks. This determines how you will level up throughout the game. The meters go like this: Purple - Melee Yellow - Ranged Green - Conviction When you constantly Melee attack opponents, only your Melee meter will rise. Once a meter is full the Hunter gains more power in that area. In order to learn new Edges, the Hunter must gain levels in Conviction. At levels 15 for both Melee and Ranged, the Hunters weapon becomes more revamped and powerful. At level 15 the Hunter's Melee weapon gets more powerful and gains a new look. At level 15 the Hunter's Ranged weapon gets a bayonet at the end of the gun's barrel making it more powerful to jab at opponents while making the shot a little more powerful as well. Your Hunter will do a type of taunt when you hit level 15 for either Melee or Ranged to signfy that you've gained a new weapon. I'm not sure at this moment about later levels, but I'll get right on it since I've only played through the game once at this moment. Here's lists for all three meters and how they level up: - Melee - LVL 1 - Starting Melee weapon LVL 15 - Weapon becomes stronger and more detailed. A new weapon is basically born here. LVL 30 - Weapon becomes even stronger and more detailed. LVL 45 - Weapon becomes stronger. LVL 99 - Weapon reaches maximum strength and can no longer gain exprience - Ranged - LVL 1 - Starting Ranged weapon LVL 15 - Hunter's unique Ranged weapon gets a bayonet at the end of the barrel for more jabbing power and more shot power. Also, your Ranged weapon gets a bigger clip size, holding more bullets than before. LVL 30 - Hunter's unique Ranged weapon gets a bigger clip size to hold more ammo. Power goes up just a bit more than the previous weapon. LVL 99 - Weapon reaches maximum strength and can no longer gain exprience - Conviction - LVL 1 - Starting Edge LVL 7 - Second Edge Gained LVL 10 - Level 2 of 1st Edge gained LVL 13 - Third Edge Gained LVL 17 - Level 2 of 2nd Edge gained LVL 21 - Level 3 of 1st Edge gained LVL 23 - Level 2 of 3rd Edge gained LVL 25 - Fourth Edge gained LVL 27 - Level 3 of 2nd Edge gained LVL 33 - Level 3 of 3rd Edge gained LVL 35 - Level 2 of 2nd Edge gained LVL 45 - Level 3 of 4th Edge gained - Start Menu - - At the Start Menu you have access to various things: Resume - Unpauses game Options - Allows you to adjust the volume settings, gameplay options, and contoller options. You can also view a list of all the combos in the game here. Character Stats - View your character's personal stats and their progress throughout the game. Game Stats - This displays the number of kills and rescues made by a player. It also shows how many lives a player has left. This is also the screen that you can compare to other players playing with you. Restart - restarts the stage End Game - Ends the game then and there - Combo Attacks - - This game allows you to use unique combos rather than use the same combo over and over. Here's the list of all the combos in the game... Glossary of Terms: Run = Left Thumbstick Aim = Right Thumbstick Attack = Right Trigger Charge Sweep - Hold the Attack Button, then Release Charge Sweep 2 - Attack, Attack and hold, Release Simple Combo - Keep pressing the Attack Button Running Combo - Aim forward, Attack continuously Stick and Slice - Run forward, Attack, Aim forward, Attack Flurry - Run forward, Attack, Attack, Aim forward, Attack Haymaker - Run forward, Attack, Attack, Aim backward, Attack Flurry w/ Haymaker - Run forward, Attack, Attack, Aim forward, Attack, Aim backward, Attack Uppercut - Aim forward, Run backward, Attack Uppercut Charge - Aim forward, Run backward, Attack and Hold, Release Diving Attack - Run forward, Attack, Attack, Jump - Glyphs - - Througout the game you will come across glowing symbols on the ground known as glyphs. If you have the game manual, you can look in the back of it to see how each glyph in the game works and looks. For those of you that don't have the manual, here's the info on each glyph you can find in the game. Remember that these glyphs have only four charges in each of them until they run out. Once you've used that glyph four times you can't use it again until you find another one elsewhere. - Health Glyph - O I - - / I \ {-----} \ I / - - I O - This is somewhat of how the Health Glyph looks like, except that it's more circular in the middle with a cross in it's middle. This will help you to refill your life gauge. - Conviction Glyph - O O O I I I ----O---- - Like a W or an E on the ground, this glyph replenishes your Conviction gauge so that you can use your Edges again. - Speed Glyph - I --I-- I - - I / - \ I ---{ [ ] }--- I \ - / I - - I --I-- I - This glyph gives you a boost in speed for a short period of time. A very useful glyph and new to the Hunter games. - Armor Glyph - O / \ O---O \ / \ / O - This is the easiest glyph to make for me. This glyph adds a green bar over your life bar to signify that you now have armor. You will now be able to survive alot longer thanks to this. This is like the flack jackets that you can find in Wayward. This too is a new glyph to the Hunter games and is by far quite useful. - Unlimited Ammo Glyph - O O O I / \ I I /( )\ I ()-----() \ / \ / \ / O - Also new to the Hunter games is this little badass glyph. This glyph allows the Hunter to have Unlimited Ammo with all guns. That means that you can now go crazy with any gun that you picked up throughout the stages. This glyph last for a short period of time so make good use of your unlimited ammo time. - Invulnerabilty Glyph - O /I\ /-I-\ /I/I\I\ //I I I\\ O-----------O \\I I I// \I\I/I/ \-I-/ \I/ O - It looks something like that, so bear with me since I couldn't get it down just right. It's ver royal looking and the most detail out of all the glyphs. This glyph makes you Invicible to all enemies for a short period of time. Get to work hacking and slashing to your fullest while you have this on, because you don't want to let this glyph go to waste do you? 3) Game Modes - Here's all the things you can do in the game with detail.... - Main Menu - New Game (starts a new game) Continue Game (load up a previously started game) Options (mess around with a few of the game's features here) Special Features (Take a glance at some of the special things you can earn or have already earned) - Starting a New Game - - Ok....it's not that hard of a thing to do here. Simply choose your Hunter and begin the game. The reason I'm putting this here is for those of you that want to start a new game with a Hunter that you've used in a previous game. To use your beefed up Hunter, first goto the game that you have saved onto your X-Box Hard Disk. In the character select menu choose to Export a Hunter. Choose whichever Hunter you've built up and select to put them on your X-Box Hard Disk. Then whenever you want to use them in a new game, goto Import. Just pick your Hunter off of the Import list and replace them with the freshly new Hunter in the second list. After that look at their stats in the character select screen to make sure that you did

This tower and the Cathedral are must sees. If you have looked at pictures only, then seeing the real thing will give you memories you'll never forget. Go early in the AM to climb the tower for by afternoon tickets are all sold out or better yet purchase the tickets to climb the tower online. Great tour to enjoy.

I am interested in community building, activism histories, reinterpreted models of record keeping and popular media subversion. My perspective is informed by my experiences being born into the "me" generation of the socially conservative 1980s by way of Black Power era parents who live by a mantra of social responsibility. I produce studio work dense with historical research, appropriated material (highly recognizable and commonly overlooked), comedy, and rhythm, to tell new narratives of unseen victory. My public work seeks to share the imaginative rewards I receive from my studio work with communities that I am physically and/or emotionally close to.

India overcame some nerve-wracking moments and a stiff Irish challenge to post a 3-2 win in the second round men's competition of the Hero Hockey World League (HWL) at the National Stadium here on Thursday.
With its third victory on the trot, the home team remained seated at the top of the table with nine points. The 15th-ranked Ireland, placed four slots below the host, was static at the second position with six points.
Tipped as the best match of the event, the India-Ireland clash had all the ingredients of a quality entertainer. Ireland unleashed its physical, fast-paced and well-coordinated game to test India's resilience.
Led by the superb Sardar Singh, the home team replied with equal intensity to win back possessions and craft several raids.
India garnered five penalty corners in the first-half and scored off the fourth one to open its account in the 15th minute. Rupinderpal Singh launched a grounder to defeat rival goalkeeper David Harte.
The Irish team, which hardly gave a loose pass, applied pressure in the later half of the opening period to earn three short corners in quick succession. Conor Harte scored the equalizer with a reverse flick following a variation off the team's third penalty corner.
The host attacked with renewed vigour after the change of ends and restored its lead within four minutes. V.R. Raghunath had no problem in hitting the target from India's first penalty corner after the break.
However, Ireland again levelled the scores amid some quick exchange of attacks. An unchallenged Eugene Magee's reverse hit from the left stunned the Indian defence in the 51st minute.
The home side answered back with a fine goal from Dharamvir Singh. Teenager Mandeep Singh took the ball into the circle and overcame an Irishman to release it for Dharamvir to finish off the move.
India showed signs of nerve in the closing moments to concede three penalty corners, including two in the last two minutes. However, it managed to ward off the Irish threat and prevented the match from going into the penalty shootout.
The results: China 4 (Yanjun Su 13, 37, Mi Ji 60, Tao Li 69) bt Fiji 1 (Adrian Smith 55); Bangladesh 4 (Pushkor Khisa 38, Sheikh Mohd. Nannu 51, Mahmud Rashel 60, Mohd. Moinul Islam 68) bt Oman 1 (Anwar Saad Jumman 65); India 3 (Rupinderpal Singh 16, V.R. Raghunath 39, Dharamvir Singh 56) bt Ireland 2 (Conor Harte 27, Eugene Magee 51).

Interesting you say you don't know how badly he wanted baseball yet you doubt his passion is 1/10 of that when he started the NBA? He stated in a book started training in secret for baseball with Chicago white sox trainers while he was still playing in the NBA. Before spring training he was hitting over a thousand balls a day and studying video and working with coaches. He also played in high school so it wasn't like he was a complete novice to the game. I am not sure how much more he could have done. The big knock on Jordan was the he could never learn to hit a major league curveball. HoF pitcher Bob Feller's comment on Jordan was "He couldn't hit a curveball with an ironing board"
There are talents in baseball that are not innately related to pure athletic ability. Hitting major league pitches is one of them. I don't think Jordan had what it takes any more than I think that he could of played on the PGA tour just because he was an NBA star.

See a Beach-Quality Database: Heavy Rains Pollute Water
By Tina Lam, Detroit Free Press
Jul. 29–The summer's heavy rains may have kept lawns a little greener, but they've made the water along Michigan's beaches a little dirtier.
Michigan's swim season is likely to have more beach closures than last summer as heavy rains have flushed sewage and wildlife feces into lakes and streams, raising the E. coli contamination counts that force beach closures, a new report suggests.
Statewide, 11 beaches are closed or under health warnings because of contamination, including two on Lake St. Clair.
Two Michigan beaches were among the 25 worst in the nation for the number of times water samples exceeded pollution limits, and a handful of state beaches were closed for more than a month last summer, according to a report by Clean Water Action and the Natural Resources Defense Council that was released Monday. The report was based on state testing data.
Among the worst beaches this year are four on Lake St. Clair:
–Crescent Sail Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Farms — a private beach that has been closed for 48 days and was closed 78 days last year.
–Grosse Pointe Farms Pier Park — closed 27 days this year and 15 days in 2007. It is open to only city residents.
–Memorial Park in St. Clair Shores — closed 49 days so far this year and three days in 2007. –Blossom Heath in St. Clair Shores — closed 25 days this year and for 44 days last summer.
Metro Beach, a popular public beach in Harrison Township on Lake St. Clair, has remained clean; it was closed just one day this year and none last year.
In Oakland County, which has 192 beaches, 82 are monitored and 12 have been closed for at least one day. Scotch Lake's beach is closed and has had eight days of closure this year.
The public beach on Belle Isle in Detroit hasn't been monitored since 2005.
Elsewhere around the state, Singing Bridge Beach in Arenac County, just south of Tawas City on Lake Huron, has been under health advisories for 32 days so far this summer. Caseville County Park's beach on Saginaw Bay in the Thumb has been under advisories for 13 days.
Henes Park Beach in Menominee County was closed 97 days last year, and Whites Beach in Arenac County was closed or under advisory warnings for 72 days in 2007, but neither has closed this year.
If beaches aren't closed when high E. coli contamination is present, swimmers who swallow water can get sick and those with open sores could have them become infected. The bacteria can cause stomach cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration and kidney failure.
There are a number of ways to catalog troubled beaches, from the number of days they're closed to the number of times that samples fail tests.
According to data in the report, last summer the beaches at Crescent Sail Yacht Club and Meinert County Park in Muskegon County each had 44% of their samples fail. Those were among the 25 worst beaches in the nation for the percentage of their samples that exceeded the permissible level of contamination.
Nationwide, the average was 5%.
E. coli contamination also can come from human feces washing into lakes through aging, overloaded sewer lines. Often, however, it's a result of droppings from waterfowl like geese or fish, said Bob McCann, spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Quality.
"The fact is, some of this is nature," he said. "Certain parts of the state are naturally going to have higher bacteria levels and frankly, there isn't much we can do about it."
At Blossom Heath on Lake St. Clair, geese are often the major source of contamination. On Monday, rubber wolves were in place on the beach to try to scare away the geese.
The wolves seem to be work.
Melissa Gersch, 26, of St. Clair Shores, wasn't taking chances, though. Because the beach is closed one week, then open the next, Gersch is never sure how safe it is.
"I just put my feet in," she said.

Any advice for someone trying to get in?
Looking in Cleveland, Ohio

I've applied several times to Akzo Nobel. I have a consumer products background, but still can't seem to get a phone call. I don't always have direct experience with all of the position, but perfectly capable of handling them. what's up with the HR department? Are they slow with calling or are they just collecting resumes and not hiring?

Microsoft Replaces Seinfeld Ads With Real Users
Microsoft has discontinued its peculiar two-week ad campaign featuring the company's chairman, Bill Gates, with comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
Many in the online media speculate that the software giant retired the ads after a poor public reception.
The ads, in which Gates and Seinfeld joke with each other at a shoe store and living with a suburban family, attempted to connect with regular people. One of the ads shows Seinfeld asking Gates senseless questions about the future of computing, with Gates responding with "signs" when he's on the right path, such as "adjusting his shorts" as Seinfeld calls the cringe-worthy hip shake, and doing "the robot".
However, Mich Mathews, Microsoft's central marketing senior vice president, said Thursday that the company had always planned to replace the ads with ones that center around Windows. The three Seinfeld ads were always intended to be temporary icebreakers to win the public's attention in a humorous way without mentioning the company's products.
"The notion that we're doing some quick thing to cancel (the Seinfeld ads) is actually preposterous," Mathews told the AP during an interview.
"Today was always the day"¦ Media buying is something you have to do months in advance," he said.
"We wanted to be sure that when we do come out with our major message, today, 'Life Without Walls,' more people would be paying attention than they would otherwise," Mathews said.
"My goodness, did we do that."
Microsoft has spent $300 million on the ad campaign, which was designed by the advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky.
The ads aim to be a response to Apple's "I'm a Mac" ads. A new TV ad set to debut next Thursday during NBC's "The Office" begins with a Microsoft engineer resembling the PC character in Apple's ads saying "Hello, I'm a PC, and I've been made into a stereotype." This is then followed by a mosaic of real-life PC users, including celebrities, repeating the "I'm a PC" slogan.
Microsoft also aims to launch ads in print, on the Web and in other public spaces for Windows, Windows Mobile, Microsoft's Live services and its TV platform.
The company said it is "exploring options" for additional ads with Seinfeld, but that nothing has been filmed so far.

BOSTON — DNA tests confirm that the man who once claimed to be the Boston Strangler did kill the woman believed to be the serial killer's last victim, and he probably was responsible for the deaths of the other victims, authorities said Friday.
Albert DeSalvo admitted to killing Mary Sullivan and 10 other women in the Boston area between 1962 and 1964 but later recanted. He was later killed in prison.
The DNA finding "leaves no doubt that Albert DeSalvo was responsible for the brutal murder of Mary Sullivan" and it was "most likely" he also was the Boston Strangler, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said.
Eleven Boston-area women between the ages of 19 and 85 were sexually assaulted and killed between 1962 and 1964, crimes that terrorized the region and grabbed national headlines.
Authorities said recently that new technology allowed them to test semen left at the crime scene of Sullivan's death using DNA from a living relative of DeSalvo's. That produced a match with DeSalvo that excluded 99.9 percent of suspects and was the first forensic evidence tying DeSalvo to the nearly 50-year-old case.
To confirm the match, investigators unearthed his remains a week ago and said Friday the odds that the semen belonged to a male other than DeSalvo were 1 in 220 billion. The Associated Press
