Pre-marital sex is wrong!
34 Votes
Sexual intercourse should be between two people who love each other and are married. Sexual intercourse is a spiritual bond between lovers; saying that they're the only one for them and they don't need anyone to complete themselves in that special way. Not two people who love eachother temporarily; not destined to marry the other. ** Choose agree if you believe that sex before marrage is wrong. and disargee if you think people should just have sex whenever they want, making sex just a game.

What right does God have to rule over us. Sure he created us, but what now, are we his play things or something. Personally I don't believe in God, but if there is one then he is a selfish and mean person. I know you will disagree with me, but I ask you this, if God is a benevolent being, then why would he let ABC Family cancel Kyle XY! Bring back Kyle XY, sign the petition guys! Oh and sex before marriage is a personal thing, it shouldn't be decided by God, it has nothing to do with him, because we are all individuals and have free will and the right as human beings to make our own choices without being threatened with the consequence of HELL!

Not if you are risking my life and my family member's life by possible spreading STD's. And don't even try to say you are not one of those people. Society has determined that sex between members who have taken vows to be faithful to each other are not doing so just to satisfy a diety who may or may not hold your physical and mental health in estime. But, to prevent the speading of dangerous diseases. So, yes, your sexual life is my business. Get used to it.

I was taught to wait until marriage,I dated a guy at 24 years old my first time he said he cared,I was waiting until marriage he didn't want too, after he got what he wanted, he dumped me, you see ,not all guys can be trusted, but you have to learn from your mistakes and move on, I waited a whole year until I found my true love, my husband and I have been together for 10 years now, and I am very happy!

I'm sorry for the terrible experience you had your first time. But, unfortunately, no guy should be trusted. Any man who tries to convince a woman to give up her moral values for pleasure has no morals himself and should be put away from you.

Morally and Spiritually, sex is supposed to be for after your married. It says so in the Bible, and that who ever has sex with more than one person is committing adultry, a sin. In this world where right is wrong and wrong is o.k. people need to be careful not to fall into the "me" trap. only thinking about what feels good for them and not what God wants for them. And by the way people who make fun of what is in the Bible, do so because deep in their hearts they know it's wrong, but face it being a sinner is way easier than being a Christian, we Christian's have all those pesky morals.

Your choices are kind of biased who says you have to be married for it to be a spiratual bonding
Submitted on 6-22-2008
marriage is a spiritual bond between a man and a woman and it's a sacrament! sex is for procreation and the physical bonding between the man and the woman after marriage. if a man and a woman really love each other they look at each other with dignity and they are not after just having sex with the other. that objectifies the other person and abuses their dignity! just like how porn objectifies women! how can a woman be okay with being looked on as a sex object and nothing more? where is human dignity now? are we all just tools? if you really love a person and wish to spend the rest of your life with that person and have kids with that person and that person feels the same way about you then get freakin married! sex is not for outside marriage! as i said before it is for procreation and the physical bonding between a man and woman married to each other! once you put sex under the category of pleasure you have no respect for the person you "love"!
Submitted on 6-14-2008
well marrage is a big step in a relationship saying that they will spent the rest of their lives together in love with eachother. but not all people are in love with the person.. their in it for sex. and people wouldn't get married unless they love eachother or they got drunk and didn't know what they were doing or they got the other person pregnant. thats why i believe sex before marrage is wrong.. although i argee with 'Ray E.' and 'cheyenne™ c.' to an extent

I drew dud numbers in the Super Bowl pool.
Did I say "pool," as in the illegal wagering on a professional sports event?
What I meant was "pool," as in giving your coworker 10 bucks in hopes he might, out of the goodness of his heart, return $200 to you tomorrow morning. And not because of anything that happened on a football field anywhere -- surely not! -- but just because he's a great guy who likes to make people smile.
Yeah, that kind of pool.
Anyway, I got stuck with an 8 for the Cardinals and 4 for the Steelers. They're not horrible picks, but I've watched enough football over the years to know they're not great, either. And that the game won't even get interesting for me until the third or fourth quarter, when the score might get into the 20s.
I did the quick math and figured I'd be out of the running in the early quarters.
(14-8? Nah.)
(18-14? Nah.)
(8-4? Never.)
Then I did the more modern thing and went on the internet, where my fears were confirmed. Sure enough, there is a website devoted to the winning odds of various numbers.
It has compiled the record of each combination of numbers, and based on its graph, the most probable winners involve the numbers 0, 3 and 7, while the dogs are 2, 5, and 8.
Whoever devised the random box version of the football pool was a genius, for he came up with a way to put everyone on an equal footing. It turned betting into a true game of chance, opening it up to, well, amateurs.
Suddenly we had office pools cropping up among teachers, librarians, nurses, Meals on Wheels volunteers, the secretaries in the prosecutor's office.
And just as suddenly, the focus of a Super Bowl party moved from being about momentum and strategy to a quarter-by-quarter fixation on pure math. People who knew very little about football would say things like, "Now, if my team can get a touchdown, a field goal, a safety and a two-point conversion, and the other guys get three field goals, I'll win the third quarter!"
I have actually won the pool in the past, and it's a sweet experience to be handed an envelope of bills as thick as anything Tony Soprano ever got -- even if you have to endure a fair number of jealous glares in the process.
Minus some hot numbers this year, though, I'm left with a Super Bowl reminiscent of the ones I endured in the days before office pools. That usually meant watching two teams I didn't care about, rating the commercials, keeping an eye out for any half-time "wardrobe malfunctions," and eating many versions of cheese-delivery systems.
Everything about the game is too long, with the exception of the actual football itself. The pregame yakking is too long, the in-between yakking is too long, and the whole show goes further into the night than the 2000 presidential vote count out of Florida.
Now, however, armed with our little pool grids, we can follow the fate of not just our bet, but everyone else's in the pool. If our number is out of it, we can still hope that Janelle in Accounting beats out Eddie in Shipping with a field goal in the last 28 seconds.
Or, if we're honest with ourselves, admit we secretly hold out hope the final score hit our numbers with a touchdown, a two-point conversion, and five safeties.

But the pending promotion of Lt. Robert B. Phelps, and the $4,000 more a year the captain's position would pay, has drawn concern from county workers who have gone without base wage hikes for years, County Board of Commissioners members told Federspiel on Wednesday.
"We have people out there who have not taken any raises, who have taken cuts, and they are going to see this as a negative," said Commissioner Ann M. Doyle, R-Tittabawassee Township, told Federspiel. "... I think the burden is on your shoulders to explain to them."
The change in rank will move Phelps annual salary to $68,583 from $64,147, according to county figures.
Still, in a 4-1 decision, Doyle and three other commissioners at the Courts and Public Safety Committee voted Wednesday to recommend the reorganization. Board Chairman Michael P. O'Hare, D-Chesaning, voted no. The County Board of Commissioners will make the final decision.
O'Hare noted former sheriff's department Lt. Mark G. Garabelli, promoted under the administration of ex-Sheriff Charles L. Brown, was demoted to road patrol sergeant when Federspiel took office and Phelps promoted to the lieutenant post. Garabelli later won a $200,000 judgment against the county. He contended in a lawsuit he was reduced in rank out of "political spite" because he campaigned for Brown's re-election on his off-duty time. Brown lost his elected post to Federspiel in 2008.
"The ink is hardly dry the last time that Lt. Phelps got promoted, and that was disastrous," O'Hare told
O'Hare added "from my understanding people are waiting in line" to file another lawsuit against the county. He questioned why Phelps couldn't remain a lieutenant and supervise both divisions.
Federspiel said it wasn't fair not to compensate an employee for their duties and responsibilities.
He defended the latest pending promotion because he said Phelps oversees two divisions, technology and law enforcement. Department policy says a command officer in charge of two divisions must be a captain, the sheriff told commissioners.
Another command officer, Capt. William H. Gutzwiller, oversees the jail and administrative divisions, Federspiel said. He would eliminate a lieutenant's position with the promotion.
"I can't please everyone, I just try to do what's right for Saginaw County," Federspiel said.
Phelps oversees the Area Records Management System, a revenue-producing computer database shared with numerous agencies that Federspiel said has grown substantially since he took office. ARMS serves nine counties, 56 agencies and about 1,250 law enforcement officers, he said.
As part of the reorganization, Federspiel said he would pay half of the new captain's salary out of ARMS revenues, and use the amount freed up in the general fund to hire an entry-level road patrol deputy.
Phelps, a 33-year employee, also supervises the road patrol and detectives bureau. He attended the meeting Wednesday, but did not speak publicly and declined comment afterward.

"Men blame me for Margaux Hemingway," sniffs Eileen Ford, whose powerful agency has sold more models (Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Lauren Hutton) than Fisher Body. Pressed by a reporter about the million-dollar Babe when she was on tour to hype her latest book, Beauty Now and Forever, Ford demurred, "I had nothing to do with her. Fabergé put her in ads. I don't know any man who's attracted to her." Her clincher was, "I think men want a woman of their own, someone to take care of—not a mountain girl." Eileen, of course, is overlooking those guys who are challenged because it's there.
See No Evil
Oscar-winning millionaire co-producer (The Sting, Taxi Driver) Tony Bill, 37, has refused to watch rather important works from Shampoo to ABC's recent Washington: Behind Closed Doors. Bill's alibi is that he acted in all of them (he was the Hugh Sloan-like composite in the latter), and "I find it embarrassing to be publicly exposed." Squirms Bill of his sideline: "Acting's like being caught picking your nose. If I can do it without believing that anyone else will see it, then it seems okay."
"I accepted the role immediately just to be in bed with Bardot—she's the most utterly perfect woman. Not a fault. God knows, I looked. Even her feet are pretty." Another male chauvinist actor? Non. The adoring words are from English actress Jane Birkin, explaining her appearance with Brigitte in the French film Don Juan. As for her own lesser endowments, Birkin, 31, who first romped nude with David Hemmings in Antonioni's Blow-Up, admits, "It would have been nice to look like Diana Dors, but since you can't change, why not be a boy-woman instead of a woman-woman? I'm certainly not going to get myself plugged with silicone so when you sit on a radiator they fall down to your knees."
Bedroom Ayes
For a couple who had to cope with his impotence and her flipout before she finally split with another man, they were cooing like honeymooners. "Our bedroom scenes were the best I've ever had," gallantly offered actor Greg Mullavey (who continues his role as Tom Hartman on Forever Fernwood) to the lady whose phone call interrupted his appearance on an L.A. talk show. For her part, a nostalgic Louise Lasser fessed up that she missed him and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman so much she had slipped back into the part. At least symbolically. Before dialing the call, the affectingly flaky Lasser had donned the very same blue flannel nightie she always wore when they cuddled before the cameras.
Off Tackle
He's become an actor (Babe, Blazing Saddles) and author (Even Big Guys Cry), but ex-Detroit Lion Alex Karras is still steaming over what he considers the cheap shot suffered as he signed off ABC's Monday Night Football. "After my third year, I said goodbye," explains Karras, who says he agreed to return this fall only if ABC failed to find a suitable replacement. "Then they reversed the story, saying I had lost my job to Don Meredith, which is bull. It's the football game that sells. Secondly, it's the Howard Cosell show. Howard is a difficult man and I had to put up with him three hours a week. But how can you take him seriously anyway?"
•"Why hasn't Amy answered my letter?" buttonholed the small girl as Rosalynn Carter campaigned for Virginia Democrats. "Just give me your address," the First Lady smiled back, while directing her press secretary, Mary Hoyt, to handle the case. The 9-year-child eventually jotted it out on a piece of paper, after being profoundly puzzled when Hoyt bent down and from dint of habit inquired, "Do you have a card?"
•Things hit a head at the Schotz Brewery last season when Cindy Williams foamed off the Laverne and Shirley set demanding a bigger share of the scripts. This season everything is copacetic, either because she got what she wanted or, just possibly, because during the lunch break most of the crew join Cindy in practicing her new passion: yoga.

"After 3 months' treatment with inhaled cannabis,
patients stated an improvement in their health status,
their ability to perform daily activities and their ability to maintain social life. Patients reported a statistically significant physical pain reduction during treatment, as well as improvement in mental distress...
Nevertheless, improved quality of life is one of the main
goals in medical treatment, and is often what interests
patients the most. Thus, we think the present results are
important in demonstrating for the first time that cannabis
treatment indeed results in measurable improvement
in quality of life of IBD [Inflammatory Bowel Disease] patients."

Well, now let's start the tour!
I posted many posts on specification,features and reviews on mobiles,tablet and other gadgets,but This one is for gadget buyers in the year 2013,as this year is going to be more crucial for gadget buyers,because of launching of Windows 8 based devices in this year.
Nowadays you are watching or listening through television or through various media mediums they are saying that Windows 8 is not good for new comers on the other hand some are saying that this is going to change the era of mobiles,tablets and most importantly laptops.
So, don't get confused about all this dialogues. Because all these things are not so important for you, I want to say that Microsoft have came with a new OS with better features,looks,specifications etc. That means they came with a new commitment and a new challenge in the form of Windows 8. And they are well prepared for fight with other platforms,and as we know that technology never could be perfect. It's OK some bugs and impurties are possible in this platform,but it doesn't mean that Windows 8 is waste of time. As we all know that Android based devices have also some problems like they do not provide good battery backup,some android devices are needed rooting for better performance. Let's look the good and bad parts Of Windows 8 Phone :-
Fast Booting Phone :-
Window's previous version's one of the most worst thing is slow booting but Windows 8 Phone is uses system hybermation technic to booting. Due to this It starts and shuts down fastly and smoothly. After this upgrade in booting Microsoft try to brek the trend in smart phone market.
Windows 8 Phones have only few apps in his bag like facebook,Twitter,Google+ only . It doesn't have instagram,What's app like applications which is used most commonly in daily life. So, I think this is the only problem that Windows 8 users will experience with it.
Enjoy Unlimited Music With Xbox Music :-
Microsoft provided music app, by using which you can listen and wactch music online or you can also download it and enjoy offline without any cost. The Xbox website have millions of songs of different languages,So don't worry! your song is also available there.
I think there is no problem in buying Windows 8 Phones. I f you want to buy a mobile to play and using more and more apps than Windows 8 Phones are not for you. Than you should definitely buy an Android Phone. Because android's market have tons of apps.
Thanks For Your Time!!

China Says EU Trade Probes Should Consider Impact on Relations
The European Union should consider the impact that trade investigations have on its relations with China, the Chinese ambassador to the EU said.
The EU last week opened a probe into allegations that European producers of solar panels, including Solarworld AG, are harmed by Chinese rivals selling below cost. The inquiry covers 21 billion euros ($27 billion) of imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells and wafers used in them. EU regulators have nine months to decide whether to impose anti-dumping duties on solar-panel products from China.
The European Commission, the EU regulator in Brussels, "should give sufficient attention to the impact this would bring to our relations" when it starts a trade investigation, China's envoy to the EU, Wu Hailong, told reporters in Brussels today. Such probes are "not constructive" and can be a "double-edged sword" for European businesses that supply Chinese manufacturers, he said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said last month that she was seeking talks between the commission and Chinese authorities to prevent the EU investigation. She told reporters in Beijing that "it would be better to solve" the dispute with negotiations.
Hailong said Merkel's comments showed "a very wise position," adding that China also favored talks to resolve trade disputes.
Anti-Dumping Duties
The EU probe will determine whether Chinese producers violate World Trade Organization rules by selling solar panels below cost. The commission could impose provisional anti-dumping duties for half a year and EU governments have 15 months to decide whether to apply "definitive" levies for five years.
The case highlights EU concerns about the expansion of Chinese solar companies, which have grabbed market share from European rivals that were once dominant, and follows a U.S. decision earlier this year to hit the Chinese industry with anti-dumping duties as high as 250 percent.
Chinese companies have gained more than 80 percent of the market in Europe for solar goods compared with almost zero in 2004, according to EU ProSun, a group that represents European producers including Solarworld and that requested the dumping investigation in late July.
China produces about 65 percent of solar panels worldwide, the commission said in a separate statement. The EU is China's main export market, accounting for around 80 percent of Chinese sales abroad, according to the commission.

Sorry, it's true. A mushy concoction of snow and sleet — and maybe some rain — will fall Monday on the Garden State, yet again snarling roads and leaving millions of soggy New Jerseyans longing for the season the calendar promised but Mother Nature denied.
The National Weather Service expects one to three inches to fall on much of the state. Some places will see more than others, but not much — probably four inches at most.
"We're generally looking at a mixture of rain and snow that will be moving in in the morning," said Mitchell Gaines, a meteorologist at the weather service's Mount Holly office.
Precipitation may start in the early morning hours, but most of northern and central New Jersey should expect snowfall to pick up around 7 a.m. It will likely last until about 7 p.m., Gaines said.
"The precipitation may actually come down fairly steadily and heavily throughout the day," he said.
Temperatures could hover a few degrees above freezing, which will prevent snow and sleet from sticking to treated roads, he said.
It should be all over by Monday night. Expect highs in the 40s for most of the week. Temperatures may hit the 50s on Friday.

Konami E3 2010 Live Report
Kojima is expected to reveal details on MGS: Rising.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising is bound to take centre stage at Konami's press conference, with Hideo Kojima expected to finally lift the lid off his latest project. Check in on Wednesday, June 16 at 9pm BST to see what else Konami has up its sleeve. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is bound to make an appearance in some form, but what about Konami's other big franchises? Silent Hill, Dance Dance Revolution… Frogger. We'll bring you all the news.
Hello! Things are late to get started here at the conference hall -- but the Konami press conference is due to start very soon.
Jamin Smith here by the way, in case you were wondering...
Previous live blogs this week have been laced with technical difficulties (damn internet), so do bear with me if there's a lack of updates.
Previous live blogs this week have been laced with technical difficulties (damn internet), so do bear with me if there's a lack of updates.
Like that for example. The timing was uncanny really...
I missed the first half of the Microsoft conference earlier in the week, so I'm particularly keen to see some Metal Gear Solid: Rising today. How about you guys? As always, let us know in the comments section below.
The theatre here at the convention centre is slowly reaching capacity. Hopefully things will get started imminently.
How's my day been so far I hear you ask? Well, I've checked out F1 2010, Body Count, and quizzed studio manager of Guerilla about Killzone 3. Good times.
I'd love to post some pictures of the theatre for you, but I can't connect to the wireless, and thus I can't use Twitpic on my iPhone. Your imagination will have to suffice I'm afraid.
Here we go!
House keeping introduction. "Turn your phone off, if you need to leave early the exits are here, be mindful of the cameras, etc etc"
Trailer now showing a montage of Konami's 2010 titles.
Pretty pumping trailer. I'm excited.
Shinji Hirano, president of Konami now on stage.
Talking about unique IPs. Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Castlevania, DDR and Frogger.
Right, Shinji wants to get our hearts racing. "On with the show!" he says.
First up, Def Jam Rap Star. Technical difficulties running the trailer...
"It's so good they keep you waiting on the edge of your sear" -- says a yet to introduced chap on the stage.
It's one of the creators of Def Jam, apparently.
He's now talking about the game instead of running the trailer. Technical difficulties ruin all our lives, it seems.
Apparently Def Jam Rapstar will be a revolutionary game. It's a constantly connected game, where you'll get updates on your phone and messages from your friends long after you've switched off the game.
It's not a traditional game in that sense. He thanks Konami for giving them the opportunity to create such a game. Praises Konami for their reputation with music games.
The developers needed a partner that didn't just like hip-hop, but was hip--hop. Russell Simmons (?) has now taken to the stage. Lots of woops and cheers. Who is he?
A hip-hop star I guess. Not my area of musical expertise, I'll happily admit.
I just took a picture of him. Will post on the forums at some point for your viewing pleasure.
He's talking about the hip-hop genre and how Def Jam will bring that to the home consoles. He's swearing a lot too. He'd have to really. He's a rapstar.
Right, trailer time. Finally.
Harder. Faster. Better. Stronger. Tune.
Some dude is rapping to the Kanye version of Daft Punk's classic hit.
The connectivity and community features look impressive. A wannabe rapper just checked a video from a rapper friend on his iPhone.
Right. New trailer now being shown.
"You're allowed to pray" it says. "But in the ring, you're only allowed one outcome -- victory"
It's a wrestling game. With lots of scary looking wrestlers.
Luchlibre Heroes Del Ring. It's not wrestling, it's Luchalibre.
Three masked wrestlers (or whatever they like to be called) are standing on stage. They look pretty badass.
Available on 360, PS3, Wii, PSP and DS.
There's going to be Luchalibre match at the convention centre tomorrow. It'll be televised apparently.
The wrestler dudes are now getting naked (kinda) and showing their muscles. These are the guys that will be fighting in the match tomorrow.
They're weighing the wrestlers now.
Now they're slapping each other in the chest. And there's a Mexican (presumably) dude talking smack on the screen. More play fighting on stage. The crowd is lapping it up.
Ok, next up is...
Saw 2. The trailer is playing on the screen now.
I actually went hands on with the game yesterday. And although the game looked pretty dire from a graphical perspective, the part I played was sort of entertaining. I had to cut a key out my own eye to save myself from a bear trap around my neck. Yeah, I know.
John Williams now on stage, producer on Saw 2: Flesh and Blood.
Voice overs from characters in the film, as well as music from the composer.
The levels of the game are designed around Jigsaws tests, and often revolve a twist on modern machinery. The game tasks players with freeing themselves from these situations.
You player as the son of the main character from the first film, hence the title 'Flesh and Blood'
Released this Haloween on 360 and PS3.
Right, next up is Ninety-nine Nights 2. Or N3II, if you fancy.
I played this yesterday too actually. Although it received average scores, I was a big fan of the original.
The game has enough power to display hundreds of enemies on the screen at once. The game is not just hack and slash anymore, it's an EXTREME hack and slash title.
Different sets of armies and formations. You need to work out how best to take them out. "Be smart", we're told.
Out June 29th, on Xbox 360.
Trailer time!
Maggni, Zazi, Levv, Sephia, and Galen -- the characters of N3II have been introduced.
Right, next up is Otomedius Excellent. A 360 exclusive that will bring back old school shooters in a big way.
Think Gradius, if you want a mental image of the game.
One for the hard core, it seems. Time for another trailer.
Anime girls now on screen -- the characters of Otomedius.
The next title, is Adrenaline Misfits - another game that I got to try out first hand yesterday. It's a Kinect title that lets players wakeboard down a series of river based environments, using their body to control speed, direction, jumps and tricks.
"Come on and get of the couch" we're urged. Trailer shows a couple of kids playing the game. They're doing a lot better than I did yesterday. I looked like a right moron. They, unsurprisingly, look incredibly cool.
From the creators of DDR, comes Dance Masters. Producer of the game is now on stage, with a chap named Thomas who's also working on the game.
This is Dance Dance Evolution. The producer (who's name I'm not even going to attempt to spell) is talking very excitably about how Kinect will change the dance genre forever.
They're now both dancing on stage, as their on screen avatars replicate their (embarrassing) moves.
Thomas admits that the dance was indeed embarrassing. At least he's honest.
Graphics are fairly impressive actually.
"This is real dancing!"
A wide selection of dance genres are covered. They're reiterating the point that this is the evolution of dance.
It certainly looks a hell of a lot better than Just Dance. Not that I've played it.
Glee on screen now. It's Glee Karaoke!
This will sell like diamond encrusted hot cakes. I'm calling it now.
This is the tenth game in the franchise. It's called Glee: Karaoke Revolution.
12 million 'gleeks' tune in to watch the show each week. That's a lot of potential players.
Ooh! Special guests!
It's the John Burrows school choir. They're all around us in the audience now. Singing.
They're singing whilst the Glee Karaoke game plays in the background with the lyrics.
I was hoping for some of the characters from the show. Not that I'd recognise them.
The two that have microphones are actually pretty good singers.
The girl is an amazing singer, in fact. I'm genuinely impressed.
The crowd seems entertained. The choir have introduced the next presentation. A trailer for Beyblade: Metal Fusion has just finished. The game will release on Wii and DS.
Out this holiday season. Next up is Deca Sports 3.
It'll use Wii Motion plus, and cover a range of unique sports.
Fencing, log cutting and snow boarding were shown in the trailer.
What is the obsession with sport-based motion controlled games? Do we really need another? I'm not saying it looks bad, but the genre is incredibly saturated.
Next up is something a bit more interesting. A trailer is playing with a shadow of a boy running around a castle accompanied by a butterfly. It reminds me of Ico for some reason.
It's called Lost in Shadow. The action happens in the background with the shadows. the aim of the game is to reunite the protagonist with his physical body. Peter Pan style.
The game will be out exclusively on Wii this Autumn.
Silent Hill time. Devin and Bryan from the development team have taken to the stage.
"Silent Hill has helped shape what horror games are meant to be" says Brian. This new game will evolve the combat sections of the game, whilst staying true to the ethos of the previous games.
It'll be out on 360 and PS3 in 2011. Trailer now playing accompanied by incredibly eerie music.
A prisoner in handcuffs is being transported through a forest road. He escapes and is pursued by a cop. He finds himself in Silent Hill.
Our man now has a flashlight, and is exploring an abandoned house. You just know this is going to end in tears.
He wakes up in the can he was in at the beginning. Was it really a dream?
*van, sorry. The soundtrack is being composed by the composer of Dexter, and promises to enhance the horror of the experience.
Next title is Never Dead. Shinto from Konami Japan introduces the trailer.
The game is developed by Rebellion. Two characters are roaming around a mansion of sorts. A strange beast covered in statues of cherubs has broken into the buidling.
The gameplay footage seems to suggest the game will play out in a similar vein to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. The trailer finishes with the main character asking if anybody has seen his right arm. The crowd laughs.
Thomas Nagano is back on stage. Brye, the main character can pick up his own body parts and reattach them. Bryce's head has fallen off! But reattaches it without problem. It was a trick made possible by the jacket, in case you aren't watching this over a stream. The crowd loved it. Lots of laughing and clapping.
Here we go folks, Metal Gear solid: Rising time.
An enemy makes his way across a floor covered in bullets. Enter Raiden; who cuts the guy limb from limb, and pulls out his spine.
If you missed Microsoft's press conference, you might not know that the concept of the game is based around Raiden's sword and real time cutting. The end of the trailer sees Raiden cutting melons for children.
Hideo Kojima won't be making an appearance today, in his place is Shigenobu Matsuyama, the producer of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. He asks if we enjoyed the trailer. We all cheer.
Raiden will absorb energy from enemies cut by his sword. You could take life, energy, ammo, items and information from the corpses of your enemies. It's different from other action games because you must carefully think about what you decide to take. You also have to actively control the direction of your sword.
You can cut at will. This is the heart of the Zan-Datsu theme running through the game. You can angle your sword, and cut in direction you want. You can also control how much of an object you decide to cut, which leaves you the freedom of cutting an opponent without killing them.
Stealth hasn't disappeared completely. The game will still feature stealth elements, but it'll be faster than what we've seen in Snake's adventures.
Stealth is also possible in a vertical direction, which is made possible by Raiden's unique abilities. It's like hunting stealth, we're told.
It's the same action that Raiden demonstrated with his appearance in MGS4.
The story is set between Meatal Gear Solid 2, and 4. The game will answer how Raiden became the man he is Metal Gear Solid 4.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising will be a totally new experience. The sword grants players an incredible power, far more than has been seen in previous games with guns. This game looks to increase Raiden's popularity further.
Next up, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
Harmony of Despair will be the first multiplayer game in the franchise.
There's co-operative play, and a survival mode where players can fight against one another. There are 5 playable characters, although Konami might supply the game with more based on sales. Next up, is Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
Dave Cox, producer of the game is now on stage. It's weird to hear an English accent again...
The game pays respect to the 25 year old franchise, and will appeal to newcomers and fans of the series alike.
The game is out on 360 and PS3 later this Autumn. A new trailer is now being played...
The game follows Gabriel Belmont as he embarks on a quest to revive his loved one.
This is another game I got to play at the Konami booth yesterday. The section I played was on horse back, with Gabriel fighting off Wargs and Werewolves on as he sped through a woodland environment.
The trailer is showing one of the Titans in the game, which plays out like a cross between God of War and Shadow of the Colossus.
Impressive trailer. Shinji Hirano is now back on stage.
Contra, Frogger and Metal Gear Solid, amongst others, will be heading to 3DS.
And that concludes the conference. Not a lot happened that we didn't know about already, but it was cool (for me at least) to finally learn something about Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
On the whole, conferences this year have been fairly lacklustre, although I'm sure everybody will agree that Nintendo have 'won' this year.
I've still got a fair few appointments left today, so I'd better make a move. 'Til next time folks!

One week after becoming South Carolina State's all-time career receptions leader, former Stratford standout Tyler McDonald etched his name in the Bulldogs' record book again.
The senior receiver made three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in a 45-9 victory over Savannah State. Now, with 2,166 career yards, McDonald moved ahead of the old record set by Oliver Tre Young of 2,156.
His touchdown against Savannah State was a 34-yarder in the first quarter.
The Bulldogs are 6-3 overall this season.
"It feels good but more importantly, it's good to get back on the winning track after last week, said McDonald. "It's good to get the bitter taste out our mouth."

Interference between Short Range Devices and Amateur Repeaters
Ofcom has recently received reports of instances of interference from Short Range Devices to Amateur Repeaters in the 70 cm band (between 430 and 440 MHz).
This band is used by Radio Amateur licensees on a secondary basis and Amateur stations such as Repeaters/Gateways/Beacons are licensed via a Notice of Variation (NoV) to the appropriate Amateur Licence, subject to authorisation from the primary user of the band.
Short Range devices operate under the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations 2003 as amended (also referred to as the "Exemption Regulations") and in accordance with the Interface Requirement IR 2030 published in September 2008 here.
Table 3.1 of the IR gives the relevant parameters and conditions of permitted use of SRDs. One of the conditions provided for in the Exemption Regulations is that the relevant apparatus shall not cause or contribute to any undue interference to any wireless telegraphy.
The SRDs and the Amateur service in this band operate essentially on a secondary basis to the primary user and normally both secondary parties operate harmoniously. It is recognised however that this may not always occur and where there is interference to Radio Amateurs, some mitigation steps discussed and suggested by the RSGB, that the Amateurs may wish to consider are the following:
CTCSS: the use of continuous tone controlled (squelch) signalling systems (CTCSS) on both transmit and receive legs of Amateur repeaters can provide some protection against SRD signals. Obviously the interference is still present but CTCSS on the repeater receiver prevents it "opening" and thus relaying the interfering signal. CTCSS on the repeater output allows mobile stations to protect their receivers from direct SRD reception. If the interfering signal is strong it will of course still present a problem to those legitimate amateur signals which are lower in signal strength.
Receiver bandwidth: UHF repeaters in the Amateur Service normally use 25 kHz channel spacing. It has been found in some circumstances that the use of narrower filters in the base station receivers can reduce interference from slightly "off channel" interfering sources. Although assisting in reducing annoying noises, these narrower filters can cause clipping to wanted signals which can have peak deviations up to 5 kHz.
Channel selection: The highest levels of interference are generally encountered in urban locations. It has been reported that some SRDs use a default setting of 434.65 MHz. Where known and/or feasible Ofcom will attempt to negotiate with the primary user of the band, initial frequency assignments that may be less likely to be affected by SRDs. It should be noted however that Ofcom is not always able to negotiate clearances with the primary user as there are difficulties in many areas and some frequencies are reserved for special cases.
Liaison with SRD users: In some instances (e.g. shared site use), where the users of SRDs are known, they have been co-operative in moving frequency where feasible, when the shared use of the band has been highlighted to them.
Information is also available at the RSGB Emerging Technology Co-ordination Committee website: http://www.ukrepeater.net/documents.html

David Aisenstat: Rare Breed
Jul 1, 2006|
When his British dinner guest handed the menu back to the liveried waiter at Hy's Encore and ordered chicken cordon bleu instead of one of the iconic restaurant's famous steaks, David Aisenstat squinted suspiciously across the white linen tablecloth.
Chicken cordon bleu? At Hy's? It was 1987, and Aisenstat and his father, Hy, had just reluctantly given up their 20-per-cent stake in The Keg restaurant chain with the sale of the steakhouses founded by George Tidball to British brewing company Whitbread PLC for $14 million. Whitbread had dispatched a young Brit named Michael Smith to Vancouver to run its Keg operation, and on this evening Aisenstat had graciously deigned to introduce the Whitbread emissary to a prime cut of Canadian beef. "I thought he was joking. The British, with all due respect, do not make great steaks," recalls Aisenstat, whose father opened the eponymous steakhouse on Hornby Street in 1962. "The guy comes out here – and I think he must have known that The Keg was the biggest steakhouse chain in the country and Hy's was sort of a high-end version – and the guy orders f***ing chicken cordon bleu. I thought, 'OK, this is a bad start.'" Things got Keg-size worse. Whitbread's man in charge soon went West Coast native, Kitsilano-style. "He became a non-drinking vegetarian," Aisenstat bristles. The interloping Brit proceeded to renovate the bar areas right out of The Kegs and abandon the menu's steak-first focus. "Basically it took two or three years of this and people who were big Keg fans – loyal Keggers, myself among them – were starting to get pissed off. And yet they weren't doing anything good enough to attract new guests, so it started sliding." Whitbread, perplexed by the plummeting sales of its multimillion-dollar overseas acquisition, decided to conduct some market research. According to Aisenstat, "They spent a million bucks researching this to figure out a Keg should be, 'Oh, a steakhouse and a bar,'" he says, "which is exactly what they f***ing bought. Go figure. What kind of genius told you that?" When Whitbread eventually decided to refocus on its brewing business and put The Keg up for sale in 1997, Aisenstat asked for the bill. "I was quite surprised because Whitbread wasn't a company that sold things," he admits. The $50-million selling price astounded some food-industry pundits who thought it was rich for the chain in its state at the time. But Aisenstat believed the under-performing steakhouse chain represented sizzling value, and he partnered with Sam Belzberg, an old pal of his father's, and CIBC to come up with the asking price. "His timing was impeccable because beef was just coming back into favour," says Chris Wadham, president of Restaurant Office Intelligence, a hospitality consulting company. "It was absolutely the right time from a perspective of what the market was demanding for food. They'd gotten out of the whole pasta, healthy vegetarian stuff. That had come to an end and meat was coming back into favour." Adds Aisenstat, who became president and CEO of Keg Restaurants Ltd. and Hy's Steakhouse: "I didn't think the steakhouse business was ever as bad as many people perceived." On a recent evening, David Aisenstat dined at Hy's. Predictably, the meat mogul ordered a charred rare filet, baked potato, Caesar salad and "a good bottle of wine." His cheque arrived around midnight. "As it happens, I love eating steak. So I find myself at either The Keg, at Hy's or Gotham a couple nights a week at least," he admits. After a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, where he golfed and ate everything but steak, Aisenstat admits somewhat sheepishly that he drove directly from the Vancouver International Airport to Hy's Encore for dinner. "Did not stop at home to change." As he relaxes on a black leather sofa inside his condo-size office at the company's office-park headquarters in Richmond, Aisenstat apologizes for sounding hoarse. He's been feeling under the weather all week, a condition probably made worse by the crate of wine recently delivered to his office by a Washington State producer hoping to be added to The Keg's wine list. "He gave us some to try out. That was the start of my downhill slide yesterday. [We] cracked a bottle at about three in the afternoon and went downtown, and that was the end of that until midnight," Aisenstat confesses. His gravelly tone may also have something to do with the fact that yesterday he sat alone inside his black, 500-hp Mercedes SL 55 in The Keg's corporate parking lot singing along to Led Zeppelin for 30 minutes. "They were playing side two of Houses Of The Holy," says Aisenstat, who recently turned 50. He was a little late for a business meeting, he explains with a shrug. "I wasn't getting out until they finished playing."

Dallas – New Orleans Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans met with team doctor Scott Montgomery on Monday evening before the Pelicans' game against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center for further evaluation on his sprained left ankle.
Evans said he underwent more X-rays and an MRI on the ankle he injured in the second quarter of Saturday's 116-115 preseason-opening victory against the Houston Rockets. The initial results of the X-rays taken immediately following the injury revealed no breaks.
Evans, who was in a walking boot, said before tip-off of Monday's game that he was feeling much better than he did Saturday.
But he added he still was awaiting the results of the MRI and that the second round of X-rays showed no breaks.
"I'll find out more when the doctors look at (the results) and see what they say," Evans said.
"I feel much better. The pain level has went down. It's just a matter of the process, getting treatment and getting the swelling down. I was just told when they get the results back, they'll let me know what it is."
On the Pelicans radio broadcast during the first half of Monday's game, Pelicans general manager Dell Demps said he expects Evans to be out for one to two weeks, which would be before the start of the regular season.
BACK IN ACTION: After missing the preseason opener, Pelicans forward Ryan Anderson returned to action against the Mavericks.
Anderson, who averaged 16.2 points and 6.4 rebounds a game off the bench for New Orleans last season, had been participating in practices throughout the first week of training camp but was held out the game against the Rockets due to what Williams termed as a "coach's decision."
Anderson has been dealing with the death of his girlfriend Gia Allemand, who committed suicide Aug. 13. But he entered the game against the Mavericks with 6:27 remaining in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, backup point guard Brian Roberts also returned after missing the opener with a sprained ankle. Guard Eric Gordon, who continues to work himself back into game shape after offseason ankle surgery, did not play.
IN THE CROWD: Saints coach Sean Payton, whose team is fresh off a 26-18 victory against the Chicago Bears that improved the Saints to 5-0, watched Monday's game inside American Airlines Center.
Payton spent a portion of pregame warmups chatting with Pelicans assistant coach Randy Ayers in courtside seats.
CARNEY WAIVED: The Pelicans announced Monday that they have waived forward Rodney Carney, who was signed last Tuesday on the start of training camp.
Carney, a product of Memphis, has appeared in 299 career NBA games with the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies. But he didn't play in Saturday's 116-115 preseason opener against the Houston Rockets.
The 6-foot-7, 205-pound Carney, who was the 16th overall pick of the Chicago Bulls in 2006, has career averages of 5.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game in 15.4 minutes.

decker's music is as expansive as the desert surrounding the band's home in Sedona, Arizona: a bit desolate, with shifting moods, at times sparse and eerie, while others surprisingly beautiful and comforting.
With last year's well-received release of the more musically explorative 4th studio album "Slider" decker. fully realized the band's unique sound. Drawing on the folk songwritings of yesteryear, the music is lyrically, vocally and emotionally driven with melodic and psychedelic undertones making it something quite more than what one typically calls folk. All parts together, decker. is soulful, desert rock.
Having recently shared the stage with bands such as The Local Natives, Dr. Dog, Deer Tick and Keller Williams, after repeat appearances in festivals such as SxSW in Austin and Arizona's McDowell Mountain Musical Festival, with four albums to the name and growing underground attention, decker. now seeks to expand into new territory. Building on the sounds of Slider, the band is currently writing and recording a follow-up EP. "Patsy" will be released in the summer of 2014, concurrent with several support tour dates.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- A normally festive weekend for Greensky Bluegrass will have a little extra shine when the Kalamazoo quintet plays a trio of shows at the Bell's Eccentric Cafe for the Beer Garden opening party.
If you goGreensky Bluegrass
What: 10th Bell's Beer Garden opening concert weekend from Kalamazoo's Greensky Bluegrass with Great Lakes Grass (June 5), Seth Bernard (June 6) and Steppin' In It (June 7). June 6-7 are sold out.
Where: Bell's Eccentric Cafe, 355 E. Kalamazoo Ave.
Cost: $20 in advance, $25 the day of
Contact: 269-382-2332, bellsbeer.com
The band -- mandolinist and songwriter Paul Hoffman, dobro player Anders Beck, banjoist Michael Arlen Bont, guitarist and songwriter David Bruzza, and bassist Michael Devol -- will play starting at 8 p.m. June 5-7. Friday and Saturday nights have been sold out for weeks.
"It's super flattering, overwhelming," Hoffman said last week during a phone interview from Kentucky where he was on vacation.
This is the first time the band has played three consecutive gigs at one venue, Hoffman said. Each night will feature a different supporting act, all familiar to frequent visitors of the Cafe. Tickets remain for Thursday night's concert with Great Lakes Grass, the first band to play at Bell's, Hoffman said. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 the day of the concert.
Michigan songwriter Seth Bernard will perform on Friday. He just released his new studio album, "Reconciliation & The Musical Beyonda." LocalSpins.com music reviewer John Sinkevics said of the 17-track album:
"This mammoth project which took 18 months to record and produce ... unfolds like a classic double-album from the late 1960s or early 1970s -- sort of like Michigan's Americana/rock/folk version of 'The White Album,' 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' or 'Exile on Main St.,' brimming with eclectic charm."
On Saturday, Steppin' In It will also return to Kalamazoo with bassist Dominic Davis, who now lives in Nashville, Tenn.
For Greensky Bluegrass, it will be a homecoming show. This marks the 10th Bell's garden opening weekend for the group, whose members now live in Kalamazoo, Denver, Colo. (Bruzza) and California (Devol).
It should be a somewhat refreshed band. Hoffman said the band took April off, the first time in eight years the group went that long without a concert. The mandolinist and vocalist said Greensky plans to play a varied set each night with old songs, new songs, covers and a few surprises.
Their nomadic lifestyle will return after the Kalamazoo shows. Greensky Bluegrass will again have a hugely busy summer tour, including several stops in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. The tour leads up to the release of "If Sorrows Swim," the bands fifth studio album to be out on Sept. 9 and distributed nationally by Thirty Tigers, a Nashville, Tenn.-based entertainment company founded in 2002 by Grammy Award-winning producer David Macias and Deb Markland.
Big Hassle Media, a publicity, online marketing and publishing company with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, California, will add another layer of support for the project.
"We want new listeners and to make a bigger splash," Hoffman said. "We just want as many people to hear it as possible."
As part of the album's roll out, Greensky Bluegrass will print 45s to have two songs from the new record. Hoffman said he hoped they'd be available this weekend. The vinyl records will also come with a download code for the new album.
"People have been really excited about vinyl and we wanted something special for the summer," he said of the 45s.
The 12-track album will be more "playful in nature," Hoffman said.
"Some of the songs are going to be more approachable to a wider audience," he said.

Whether you're interest in learning welding for a hobby or a career, Mesa Community College has one of the largest welding programs in the nation, with the latest equipment and instructors who are passionate about what they do.
Rod Hammil, MCC's welding program director, has been teaching welding for about 38 years.
"I love to teach," Hammil said. "I could retire but I love being around people."
Hammil said that one benefit of being a welder is the option to move around the country for work. Welders on average can start at $40,000 to $50,000 a year, but it can go much higher. It takes about a year to get certified; a two-year degree is encouraged but not required.
MCC student Alex Larios is in his first year of the welding program. Besides being interested in welding, Larios said part of the draw was that he had a family member who had been a welder.
"My dad was a welder for 21 years," said Larios, who plans to find a job welding farm equipment after he receives certification.
Hammil said more than 250 students are enrolled in the program. Night and weekend classes are popular, and the program attracts a wide range of ages, from 16 to 85, with many women involved in the program. Hammil said that women in particular are talented at aerospace welding because of their dexterity.
Many students retake classes because they enjoy it so much and want to learn as much as possible, he said. Students learn mainly by hands-on experience and instructors strive to teach their students good work ethics.
MCC's welding program hosts clinics and apprenticeships through places such as SRP, the cities of Mesa and Scottsdale, and others. The program is in the process of introducing courses in nuclear welding, a growing field. Hammil is hoping to expand the building at some point to help with the continuing growth and interest in the program.
For more information on MCC's welding program, contact Hammil at 480-461-7131 or visit www.mc.maricopa.edu/dept/d58/wld/.

Listen! New Music-Mariah Carey & Miguel 'Beautiful'
American Idol may be having an off season with the new judges, but that isn't stopping Mariah Carey!
American Idol may be having an off season with the new judges, but that isn't stopping Mariah Carey!
Singer Amber Holcomb was eliminated on tonight's (May 2) episode of 'American Idol.' That means the all-female Top 3 is comprised of Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller.
There have been rumors that producers planned for one diva (Jennifer Lopez) to oust another (Mariah Carey) on the 'American Idol' judging panel mid-season in a desperate attempt to boost sagging ratings. However, the latest consensus is that it was J. Lo who contacted Fox, and not the other way around. That's a pretty (J) lo(w) blow and an affront to Mimi, no?
On tonight's episode (April 25) of 'American Idol,' no one was eliminated from the Top 4, which is comprised of all girls. And no, the judges didn't spend the sole season save, either. The show has built an extra week into production schedule to account for the usage of the save, but since the judges never applied it this season, the producers sorta did.
On tonight's episode of 'American Idol' (April 24), the remaining four contestants took on two songs each — a personal selection and a one-hit wonder — plus a duet.
It's been an interesting season for "American Idol"...everywhere except the stage that is.
Clay Aiken, one of the most beloved alums in 'American Idol' history, came home tonight (April 18). The singer, who didn't win Season 2, losing by a tiny (124,000 votes, actually) margin to Ruben Studdard, returned to the show's stage to perform his rendition of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' He performed it when he competed and it still has that Clay touch.
Fantasia Barrino, the Season 3 winner of 'American Idol,' stepped on the stage tonight (April 18) to perform her new single, the sprawling, expansive ballad 'Lose to Win.' She looked every inch the diva in her one-shouldered, white goddess gown, which showed off her chest tattoo. That's 'Tasia -- beautiful but edgy, a diamond in the rough.
The Top 5 of Season 12 of 'American Idol' has been reduced to a Top 4 as Janelle Arthur was eliminated.

Yes, Nicki Minaj thinks the low ratings for 'Idol' are the fault of Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and sole remaining original judge Randy Jackson.
Her Minajesty also thinks it is she who keeping the show afloat. Really? Really.
