Suspected pimp commits suicide in home on brink of police search
By Jessica Strachan
Posted May 9, 2013
A 45-year-old man who was said to be a "known pimp" by Michigan State Police shot and killed himself inside his Southfield home May 7, according to a press release from MSP Lt. Michael Shaw.
The MSP and the Southfield Police Department, through the FBI Southeast Michigan Crimes Against Children Task Force, were reportedly executing a search warrant inside Mike Luke White's condominium inside the 5000 Town Center building at around 9:49 p.m. that night when upon entry, task force officers heard a gunshot.
According to the press release, the shot came from the back bedroom area and was fired by White to take his own life. No other shots were fired during the incident, and no task force officers were injured.
The task force was reportedly investigating a "criminal enterprise of sex trafficking" that was operating throughout Southeastern Michigan, the MSP noted. The tip-off came when a recent female victim filed a report at the Southfield Police Department.
In the report, the unidentified victim reported being "held against her will and forced to do sexual acts."
According to the MSP, White was convicted in 2006 on a crime related to sex trafficking. He was given a 37-month sentence by the Eastern District of Michigan United States Attorney's Office.
No details were released on what the crime was, but White served a 37-month sentence for it, according to the MSP.
White operated under the alias "Jesse," and his business card, a copy of which was provided by the MSP, is headlined "Do you have a Champagne Diet on a Coca-Cola Budget?"
It goes on to seek a "strong willed, independent young lady with exquisite taste" by asking, "Do you want to drive a Mercedes and shop at Chanel, Christian Dior, Gucci, Fendi, etc.?"
Finally, the card calls for women who make their "own decisions without being influenced" by peers.
It is being reported that White had more than a dozen women operating in his prostitution ring, held against their will, under his company, called "Sizzling Hot Inc."
It is unclear how long White lived in Southfield; his driver's license, provided by the MSP, shows the 6 foot 4, 220-pound man being a resident of Hawaii.
According to Ted Verner, a member of management for the 5000 Town Center condos, White lived in the building since October of 2008. His driver's license, provided by the MSP, shows White being a resident of Hawaii; Verner said he did not own the Southfield unit, but rented from the owner.
"There was no indication, to the (condo) association or to the staff, that Mr. White was involved in this type of activity," Verner said. "This is the first time anything like this has ever happened (on the property)."
Verner added that until being alerted by the door staff, management knew nothing about the search warrant that would be executed that evening.
"Until the task force walked in our door, staff had no prior knowledge," he said.
The Southeast Michigan Crimes Against Children Task Force was established in 2007 to investigate the exploitation of children by means of prostitution in the area. The task force also investigates child abductions, child pornography and sex trafficking cases. The task force consists of members from the FBI, the Michigan State Police, the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, and the Detroit, Southfield, Roseville and Highland Park police departments.
A State Police investigation is ongoing by the Second District Special Investigation Section, police said.

text: I was just recently diagnosed with LOCAH and I'm not on treatment yet. You mentioned that you have been able to lose weight since increasing your levels. I'm interested in what your experience with weight was before you started treatments as well as after. I've been trying to lose weight for a year now and have even been put on Metformin to help me lose weight (because they think I have insulin resistance). Nothing is working (I'm even down to eating about 400 net calories a day), but the doctor I see will not let me go on the treatment until I lose weight. He is afraid that if I start taking a steroid that I might gain weight and since I'm having trouble losing weight he doesn't want to make that worse by putting me on a steroid. I've many times thought about just asking him to go ahead and put me on the steroid...hoping that getting treatment might actually HELP me lose weight. However I've heard from other people that they have gained a lot of weight after treatments. I don't know what to believe. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pearson Aspires to be the Electronic Arts of Education
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Video Games
When you think of education, Electronic Arts probably isn't the first company to come to mind. But for the publisher Pearson, EA is exactly the kind of role model it's looking for in remodeling Pearson for a digitized age.
Speaking to GigaOm, chief product officer Luyen Chou revealed his intent for his company to become an "Electronic Arts for education." Chou enumerated, detailing the struggle to keep up with the times, and getting "high-quality, interactive digital learning experiences" into classrooms.
"Digital studios, animators, illustrators, producers, 3D artists – we need to build that capacity within instructional companies like Pearson and we need the whole end-to-end supply chain to the take that from the studio to the actual users," Chou said. "The folks that have done that well are the EAs of the world, digital studios. That's not a core competency for companies like Pearson."
Pearson's lately been busy acquiring a massive amount in the way of pushing toward an interactive education company, spending $1.6 billion on acquisitions alone.

iBooks Author allows you to create and publish books for the iPad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Software, Videos
Alongside the release of iBooks Textbooks this morning, Apple has also released an app called iBooks Author. Available for free on the Mac App Store, iBooks Author is a tool that allows anyone to create a textbook, storybook, or any other kind of book with relative ease. These books aren't just text either--you can add videos, 3D objects, photo galleries, web widgets, and more. Once you're satisfied with your book, you can then export it for personal use, or publish it to the iBookstore for sale or as a free download. Check out the video above for a full rundown of how it all works.
Apple looks to change education with iBooks Textbooks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Handhelds
Today Apple took the stage in New York City to unveil its education initiative, and at the heart of it all is the release of iBooks Textbooks. Textbooks require an iPad running iBooks 2, and Apple hopes this will open up a whole new world of learning to the masses. Bringing with them dynamic, interactive, and updateable content, textbooks on the iPad become instantly relevant and engaging. Apple also made sure to point out that an iPad is much lighter than a backpack full of heavy books. The video above demonstrates Apple's vision for the future of the textbook. iBooks 2 is available now, as are a handful of textbooks from publishers like DK, Pearson, McGraw Hill, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, focusing on the K-12 market for now. Textbooks are $14.99 or less, which is another breakthrough (although you won't be able to sell these back when you're done with them like you can an actual book.)
Apple also released iBooks Author, a free Mac app that lets anyone create an interactive book for the iPad. It's available now on the Mac App Store.

Comcast Internet Essentials brings broadband to low-income families for $10 a month
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Internet
Comcast is tapping into its altruistic side a little bit and deploying a brand-new service tier, one that's designed to bring the Internet to families that would otherwise be unable to pony up $40 to $60 for the company's lowest tiered plan.
Dubbed "Internet Essentials," Comcast's new plan will cost a family only $9.95 per month for a connection that features 1.5 Mbps download and 384 Kbps upload speeds. There's a guarantee of no price increases after-the-fact, as well as no activation fees or equipment rental fees for families signed up for the program. Enrollees will even be able to purchase a netbook computer via the Internet Essentials program for $149.99 (plus tax), and Comcast is offering free online and in-person "Internet training."
To join the program, however, families have to meet four different criteria: They have to be located in an area where Comcast can actually deliver Internet service (obviously), one of their children has to be receiving free school lunches via the National School Lunch Program, families must not have had Comcast Internet service up to 90 days prior to requesting to join the program, and families must not have an overdue Comcast bill or unreturned Comcast equipment.

Jesse Jackson Jr. calls iPad a job-killer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds
What a difference a month makes. In March, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) was pushing for the federal government to provide every student in the U.S. with an Apple iPad. This week, Rep. Jackson complained that iPads were "probably responsible for eliminating thousands of jobs."
Somewhere along the line, he seems to have discovered that iPads are manufactured in China, not in the U.S.—a;nd; it had him hopping mad (see video below). Here's what Rep. Jackson said Friday afternoon on the House floor:
"In the 112th congress, unemployment is at 9 percent. And not a single piece of legislation considered by the 112th congress has done anything to address 13 million unemployed Americans.
"A few short weeks ago I came to the House floor after having purchased an iPad and said that I happened to believe, Mr. Speaker, that at some point in time this new device, which is now probably responsible for eliminating thousands of American jobs ... now Borders is closing stores because, why do you need to go to Borders anymore? Why do you need to go to Barnes & Noble? Buy an iPad and download your book, download your newspaper, download your magazine.

Seton Hill University to give iPads to all full-time students
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds
Looks like Apple's hopes that colleges and universities around the country will adopt the iPad as an educational tool may be coming to fruition. Seton Hill University, based in Greenburg, Pennsylvania, has just made it public knowledge that they will be giving all full-time students an iPad, starting with the next upcoming fall semester. Other schools have tried this with the Kindle, but in our opinion, the slowness of the Kindle screen refresh kind of killed that one. We don't know that the iPad will fare much better, but it certainly has a better shot at success.

PeeWee Pivot Tablet Laptop for kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, PC / Laptop, Toys
We've gotta hand it to PeeWee PC, as their Pivot Tablet Laptop looks exactly like something that would be a home run in the hands of a technology-curious child. Don't go comparing this to the OLPC XO, though, because the Pivot Tablet starts at $599.99. What do you get for the cash? Let's run down some of the specs. First of all, the Pivot Tablet Laptop if drop-resistant and spill-resistant, which immediately should give a bit of piece of mind to parents (like me) who know the horrors of kids + tech + juice. It also has a handle, making it easy for the children to tote the 3 pound device around. Getting into the nitty gritty, the Pivot Tablet Laptop sports a 10-inch touch-sensitive rotating display with stylus, 6-cell Li-ion battery, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and a 60GB hard drive. Not too shabby. You've also got two USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, and the whole thing ships with Windows XP Home, which is customized with a theme of your choice (things liek Disney, Sci-Fi, etc.). Being a device for kids, there is also a security suite that let's you keep on eye on what the little one is up to while using the device as well.
You can pick one up starting today.

Once again, the OLPC project is offering its Give One Get One deal. This time it will be on Amazon. For $399.00, your child and one in another country will receive one of the colorful XO laptops. The company is still hoping to lower the price to $100.00, but so far increasing product costs have prevented it. About 473,000 units have been placed in 31 countries thus far. Order now in the U.S. and UK and get your XO this year. We are thinking that if you want to give your kids a great present for the upcoming holidays, he/she would love to know that they helped another child somewhere else.

If there is one thing I like doing as a journalist, it is chatting up my sources.
I am sure when I strut into the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce or the Justice of the Peace Offices everyone rolls their eyes and says: "Here comes Mason." I can take what should be a two minute conversation and drag it out to 15 minutes.
There is a number of reasons I do this. For one, it builds leads to other stories, but more importantly it is because I care.
A lot of these people are the folks I see almost every day, and I want to have more than the "I am just popping in here because I have to" relationship. I want to know what their children are up today, how their day is going, what interesting thing they did during the weekend and more.
When I taking my linguistics class back in my junior year of college, there was many films that stated dragging out conversations is a common trait for Texans. We will often ask how people are doing before getting to the point or asking for a favor. But hey that is me, I am a Texan born and raised.
Well I guess, I should stop dragging this out and tell you what I wanted to share with everyone.
Because we — the Copperas Cove Herald staff — are social, we would like to invite everyone to visit with us through our social media websites.
When it comes to our regular readers, you may only know us black as black ink on newspaper background. We want to change that. We want to get to know you, and we want you to get to know us.
By joining one or several of our social media sites, you can get a taste of who we are and what we are doing for you. It also provides a good chance to catch up and talk to others about articles.
About 50 percent of our post on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter are just links to our articles, while the other 50 percent are Audrey and I sharing what we are up to, thoughts about upcoming events, things about our own life and of course sometimes teasing each other.
We want you to be a part of those conversation, ask questions and to get to know you.
Here is a list of a couple of places you can "follow us"
Facebook — http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cove-Herald-staff/229647863772899 :
Facebook is probably the most popular social media outlet on the Internet, and it shows as we are growing our viewership every week.
Here you will get articles and banter from Audrey and I.
You also can leave comments about our stories and message us about your ideas and thoughts. Sadly, because of how I put up the page, we can't message you directly unless you message us first.
Twitter — twitter.com/KDHcoveeditor :
This Twitter account is really my Twitter work account. That means no Audrey. :(
Twitter allows for many short updates, which also are posted on Facebook. It features lets you stay updated on what I am doing.
I have found the website very useful for getting in touch with people fast and having a quick back and forth between users. If you are looking to have a one-on-one with me, Twitter is the place for you. But you could always call me too.
Google+ — https://plus.google.com/115717472640805944912/ :
I am not going to lie, there is not a lot of people on Google+. But if you are looking for an easy way to follow us and very pretty social media website, you should sign up for Google+.
It is very easy for us to embed our articles without having giant hyperlinks in the post, and it just looks a lot cleaner than Facebook in my opinion. For the personal accounts, the circles are also a neat feature.
We are running the same type of professional page that we are running on facebook, but Google + gives us more options. We can have hangouts, message people directly, see what you want to share with and much more.
I haven't convinced Audrey to come around to this social media website yet, but if you join us there, I am pretty sure she will follow.
Youtube — http://www.youtube.com/feed/UCmFqrjad9goZEuZ0OLzz-lg :
Alright this is not our Youtube Channel, but it is the Killeen Daily Herald's. Corey Johnson, our videographer, currently runs this site and you can feel free to leave him comments on any videos on the site. I am pretty sure he would love that actually.
If you're good, you can probably find my personal Youtube site out there. Don't worry it isn't scary. Just some videos of my dogs.
Anyway enjoy, and come chat with us.

BCM 16' mid length....CHF or standard?
Is the price difference ($80) really that noticeable? I'm just a weekend warrior who is working on a 2nd build. I'm stepping up this build over my 1st one.
I keep hearing that its just a fad that caught on here in America and SLIGHTLY increases life and accuracy.
Anyone own one? Inout?
my main ar15 is that very one bcm midlength lightweight chf.
the chf barrels are VERY accurate on par or better than most stainless barrels.
the barrel and bcg are the heart and sole of the ar15 you can skimp on a lot so long as those two parts are quality.
my wife has the non chf bcm barrel and mine out shoots hers same ammo same optic by about a half moa
you will wear out at least two bolts before the barrel goes. so for a typical civilian shooter a lifetime easily.
do i recomend it?? yes. is it worth it?? to me it is. to you?? that i cant help with
my other cold hammer forged is a scar17 and its a half moa gun all day long
My 1st build is as follows:
Spikes lower
PSA lpk
Spikes m16 bcg
Stag arms 4140 chrome moly 1/9 carbine 16'
So from what i've been reading and been getting comments, i would see a good increase in accuracy just getting the standard BCM barrel.
BTW i already have a Fail Zero Nickel Boron bcg ready to go along with a spikes enhanced lpk
Do you have a nib bcg or are you going off hearsay?
I went with a CHF Daniel Defense LW 16" midlength upper then a year later decided to build an almost identical AR. This time instead I used the non-BFH BCM LW 16" midlength. I like the DD slightly better and it's slightly more accurate. I don't know if it's because of the DD barrel in general or the hammer forging. I sometimes wonder if it would have made much difference going with the BFH BCM but honestly the standard button rifling is plenty good.
I'd say you can go either way, it's up to you. But I'd sure put that money toward hammer forging instead of the gimmicky NiB BCG. The phosphated BCM belongs in a BCM upper.
you might be able to dig the thread up in the searches. should be in the ar15 subforum.
i have seen no proof its better or even equal to chrome or phosphate
here is the link and X-Mark was the vendor
lesson is make sure the bcg is quality and the selling point isnt just shiny shiny. spikes rra bcm all work. nib puts hype in the forefront.
Either the Standard or BFH, you won't go wrong with either one. BCM is an outstanding company.
Or as Quentin mentioned, DD CHF is another best barrels out there for less $ than BCM BFH.
Question- so should i put my spikes phosphate m16 bcg (currently in my 1st build) in my 2nd build?
2 Attachment(s)
BTW here are pics of my 1st build and me at the range just this past weekend. Also have a hi point 4595ts....

Citation: BEUSELINCK, P.R., STEINER, J.J., RIM, Y.W. MORPHOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF PROGENY DERIVED FROM 4X-2X AND 4X-4X HYBRIDIZATIONS OF LOTUS GLABER MILL. AND L. CORNICULATUS L.. CROP SCIENCE. 2003. V. 43(5). P. 1741-1746. Interpretive Summary: Lotus corniculatus L. (broadleafed birdsfoot trefoil) and L. glaber Mill. (narrowleafed trefoil) are forage legumes grown in the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. Our studies have attempted to combine the attributes of both species by intercrossing. Intercrossing is complicated by the different chromosome numbers of each species: L. corniculatus is a tetraploid with 24 chromosomes, and L. glaber is a diploid with 12 chromosomes. One approach is to use the chemical, cholchicine, to double the chromosome number of L. glaber to equal the number of chromosomes of L. corniculatus. Another approach is to identify L. glaber plants that produce abnormal pollen containing twice the normal number of chromosomes in the pollen. The objective of our research was to compare progeny produced from intercrosses between L. corniculatus and L. glaber using the two different approaches and determine if there was an advantage for the progenies developed using one approach over the other. We compared the morphology of the progenies derived from the two different approaches and found that using an L. glaber parent producing abnormal pollen was better than using L. glaber treated with cholchicine. This information is important to plant breeders attempting to intercross different species to improve the performance of birdsfoot trefoil and to other plant scientists that will try to develop more efficient crop plants through interspecies crossing.
Technical Abstract: Unreduced gametes from Lotus glaber Mill. (2n = 2x = 12) may aid intercrossing with L. corniculatus L. (2n = 4x = 24) that results in more desireable progeny than progeny derived from cholcinine-induced tetraploid (4x) L. glaber. The objective of this research was to compare progeny produced from 4x with 2x (4x-2x) and 4x with 4x (4x-4x) crosses and determine if 2n gametes had a heterotic advantage over normal gametes derived from cholcinine-induced tetraploids. Progeny produced from 4x-2x crosses were intermediate to or larger than their parents in their leaf and flower morphology. Progeny from 4x-4x crosses were intermediate to or smaller than their parents in leaf and flower size. Size of leaves and flowers of progeny from 4x-2x crosses were similar to or larger than 4x-4x progeny. Morphological comparisons demonstrated that heterotic expression of progeny from 4x-2x crosses were greater than progeny from 4x-4x crosses. The results indicate that interspecific L. corniculatus x L. glaber hybrids via 2n pollen is effective and advantageous over hybrids produced via cholcicine-induced 4x L. glaber.

I think the consensus at the time was why not just put real links on the page?
And why not beat them with real links on the page? (not hidden)
This is all very interesting. Our Competitors are selling the same widgets as us all at higher prices. Their sites look ugly and are hard to navigate and they (having been in the game longer) have higher PR than us. Is it worthwhile linking to them for real? (Not with hidden text.)
Can't say, but if you do, tell your users to compare prices.
If you only link to sites that would otherwise be above you, (ignoring filters, manual intervention, etc.) you cannot harm your own position.
In addition, provided the togglediv link is clearly visible, this would not be breaking the rules, merely bending them a little. This is definitely no darker than light-gray hat.
Every time a lock manufacturer came out with a new lock - they would break it.
Any algo can be 'broken'.
Where do you draw the line between SEO and a 'good site'?
The two are not dissimilar. they share a lot of the same characteristics and the more difficult the lock gets, the better the tools to 'break' them become.
A good SEO truly helps a client in getting usefull traffic to his site, and yes that can take some time.
I started my website 2 months ago, i did build a lot of usefull content, have a very active forum, already got official parnterships with official websites (my website is music related), and i am sure within 6 months my website will be high in the rankings.
The only thing i can say is that if you want quality positions in the rankings, is that you are patient, and don't spend time in foolin bots.

Portage County foodies will dazzle palates Saturday and compete for bragging rights at downtown Kent's fifth annual Grill for Good.
Besides offering a harmony of food, drink and entertainment where amateur and professional cooks compete for top griller honors, the event also is a major fundraiser for The Coleman Foundation and Family & Community Services of Portage County.
The bulk of money raised will be split for both agencies to provide food, shelter and mental health services for local individuals. A smaller portion of proceeds also support Kent Jaycees, which is organizing the event.
The first event drew about five grillers, a couple hundred visitors and a couple thousand dollars of donations.
But thanks to growing popularity, Grill for Good has raised more than $20,000 for the Portage agencies, nearly half of which was collected at last year's event -- the largest and most successful to date, according to event co-founder Marilyn Sessions.
"The support has just been tremendous," she said, noting the Grill for Good was created to bring together passions for food and community. "We're finally realizing the dream of what we hoped this would grow to be."
The event will take place from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday in downtown Kent on Main and Water streets.
A wristband costs $10 and includes tickets for three samples. Each ticket after that costs $1 each.
For the first time, participants can acquire an "all-you-can-eat" wristband good for unlimited samples for a donation of $100 or more.
The car cruise-in also returns this year. Vehicles are directed to park in the lot adjacent to Townhall II, 155 N. Water St. Participation is free, and spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Meanwhile, live music begins early at 11:30 a.m. and runs through 7:30 p.m.
Event organizers have set the bar high, hoping to bring in $15,000 to benefit nonprofits this year. With sunny skies forecast, around 18 grillers and more than 1,000 visitors expected, Sessions said everyone is optimistic of reaching their goal.
Grillers are separated into foodie (amateur) and commercial (professional) categories and will be judged in the mid-afternoon.
Last year's first place foodie winner was Kent's Secret Cellar, which prepared grilled sweet corn with flavored butters.
And the first place commercial winner was Kent's Fresco Mexican Grill and Salsa Bar, which served pulled-pork tacos.
Each will return this year to protect their titles. Secret Cellar will again grill up sweet corn, while Fresco will prepare barbacoa tacos.
Some of the other item that will be available include grilled shrimp, flank steak, black-and-tan brined chicken thighs with spicy habanero pineapple sauce, chicken wings, pulled pork, beef and brussel sprout with a balsamic glaze and even grilled watermelon.
"With beer, live music, grilled meats, veggies and fruit, there's something for everybody," Sessions said.

"Ninja Theory's striking reboot of Devil May Cry – also known as DmC – remains one of the most polarizing takes on a beloved franchise in recent memory. Back when it was revealed in 2010, people were quick to jump on the fact hero Dante had changed radically."
Why do people keep saying things like this, theres always articles saying something roughly along the same lines. "dmc has now won fans back" when really they havent.
Reviewers are only saying it because they probably have something going on with Capcom. Capcom needs this game to do well, they'll do anything to make sure it's a success, they would of done the same to RE6 if they knew that was going to flop in reviews.
No, it's because fanbacklash has been comically insane. I mean death threats? Someone's gotta be rational, and so far it hasn't been a majority of DMC fans.
I have to agree with that. Gamers love to scream out that developers are never willing to take big risks with their franchises, but when they do the backlash is huge.
They're trying something new with DmC, and so the fans get angry. They've got all the right in the world to dislike the new look and such, but don't write it entirely off until you've played it.
I have played it, and you know what, it was pretty good. Not absolutly stunning, but good. I've been playing and loving the Devil May Cry games since the start, but Capcom have taken a risk with their franchise, and I'm willing to see how it pans out.
Why do people keep bring up the death threats, it's like something to make everything all better and silence the ones who have a problem with this game. Not all of us did that, besides, I think with that NT exaggerated it as much as they could to get some sympathy off fans since the backlash is pretty big.
Fact is, just because they got some death threats off a few insane fans dosen't mean we all did it. It dosen't automaticaly justify what NT is doing to this once loved franchise.
It's equally ridiculous to pretend it's because or about death threats . It was one or a few crazy folks once upon a time .
Cod folks like treyarch get crazy mail and threats too , you dont see articles about that or people realying on that excuse and argument .
"They're trying something new with DmC, and so the fans get angry."
I dont agree with the assessment that it's even new . That's one of my problems .
I see the same things with far less quality and inferior in every way . The new elements are the new story and morphing backgrounds .
The rest is a simpler , less smooth dmc , less stylish game imo . I dont see much risk and gambling in that .
That argument would be valid , if they took dmc made it a fps or something radically different .. they just took a not so appeal new style and made the game easier .
It's too easy to pretend DMC fans only wanted the same thing over and over . I'd easily take an actual new perspective that could keep the core of the franchise .
There were plenty possibilities . Like creating an actually open world based dmc retaining the value of the fighting system and the look and stories . Maybe my idea is lame , but it's already far more original and new to DMC over what's proposing NT
capcom disregarded all its fanbase (on multiple occasions) hence all the backlash. and yes it is the majority of DMC fans there isn't a single person who has played the previous 4 games that agrees to this reboot.
Let's talk about being rational Chuk5.
You generalize that because ONE/1 or more person has sent death threats to Ninja theory that the whole DMC Fans have.
You generalize that because 1-3 people sent death threats, that the rest of DMC fans = 1M+ also have.
Who's being rational? You certainly aren't.
Oh and the death threats have not been shown to the public. We haven't seen them nor do we know the quantity of them.
They may have received death threats (at very least 1), but for most parts it seems they have blown ANTI-DmC material out of proportions calling them death threats.
My questions to you Chuk5: HAVE YOU SEEN THE DEATH THREATS?
P.S you said that majority of DMC fans have sent death threats to Ninja theory.
Your a very rational person.../sarCasm with a big C.
The "death threats" your talking about were no more than the numerous comics and youtube videos that slammed the game hard. Calling them death threats seems like a pathetic attempt at them trying to find something really bad to accuse gamers with.
Ugh Death threats -_-...don't go pulling straws and blaming gamers just because nobody likes your fanfiction game.
Can't wait for this to fail so Capcom can make Devil May Cry 5 on the next gen platforms. Hopefully they could work something out with Platinum games...
Actually, this situation is pretty much a lose lose situation for everyone. I have honestly concluded that DmC has to succeed and meet Capcom's expectations if we are to ever see them revisit the old franchise.
The series is being rebooted for a reason. Capcom has not clearly stated why but it's very easy to assume that it's to grasp the Western audience and increase sales for the franchise. And if that does not work, they are very likely to just give up on Devil May Cry, because the DMC4 probably did not meet their expectations - hence them rebooting the franchise - and if this one fails, they are most likely to put the series aside for while.
DMC 4 sold over 3mill. and with so much hate against DmC the real DMC will be faster back than you think "if" DmC fales sales wise..
capcom is just greedy as ususal they want GoW numbers thats why the reboot imo
DMC is just to big of a franshise to give up..
The whole "appeal to western audience" is just a ridiculous marketing strategy. What they want is a franchise that they can release annualy and make tons of money, just like COD. They tried the same thing with RE and look what happened. Capcom makes me sick. Western gamers enjoy eastern games, but you just cant expect COD sales.
" they are very likely to just give up on Devil May Cry"
It's a threat people need to get over with . If it aint good there is no sense in supporting a new direction for the sake of keeping the franchise alive .
Whenever people did that it only perpetuated and legitimized the new direction instead or still killed the franchise .
And as the only franchise behind God of War for this particular subgenre , Capcom wouldnt kill it . They just want to squeeze more if possible
Capcom never wanted to do dmc5. Thats why it was their idea to reboot the series, and got NT to work on it. So it don't matter if it fails or not. Capcom will either continue with the new reboot or cancel the whole series, even the numbered ones. Just look at onimusha, it's been 6 years and no new info on a sequel. So is either this dmc reboot or nothing.
Theres actually a lot of rumours saying Onimusha is getting a western reboot as well and is to be developed by Spark Unlimited (the developers behind the western take on Lost Planet with Lost Planet 3)
Will wait for the demo Tuesday to judge myself. As of right now I'm cautiously optimistic.
i would maybe like the game if it wasn't a DMC game. but the fact that it is makes me dislike the game completely based on gameplay footage ive seen so far. and its not just how dante looks that's off-putting but the whole Gothic aesthetics to previous dmc games had been replaced with this almost cartoony dream world like setting. and the worst part is that is almost an insult to fans of the dmc series is the combat system. changing the legendary combat system which is the absolute core of dmc games automatically sets this game up for failure in the view of dmc fans. its the equivilant taking a call of duty game and giving it the same art style you would expect to see in a super mario game and changing all the guns to water soakers.
however, this game may appeal to people who are not familiar to the series and i'm sure many people will enjoy it and play it. it might even turn out to be a good game. but it will never be a good DMC game. people don't seem to understand why fans are unhappy with the game you should play DMC3 by far the best in the series.
well said
though i think DMC 4 has better combat because its like DMC3 Dante but in his ultimate version
but overall i agree DMC 3 is the better game!
I couldnt agree more. One of the many issues I had with DMC4 was the lack of the gothic theme. The combat in DmC might look good to someone that never played Devil May Cry 3(or even 4), or only scratched the surface of the system, but to someone that invested in the combat before, it doesnt look good.
What DMC4 did for combat was allow on-the-fly style switching for Dante(which is a great step forward). However, the small weapon variety, and poor enemy design/variety, still kept it from reaching DMC3 combat IMO. As for Nero, he was a much more limited character, and to me, playing as him was just a chore.
Jesus, what is with all the "Ninja Theory has proved everybody wrong" type articles? I don't think I've seen a game that has had so many defense articles basically shaming the fans for not being on board.
I honestly hate this as well. It's as if it is a crime to criticize game companies when they take a franchise with an establish fanbase to a whole new direction and we just have to sit here and deal with it. And game journalist love to come to their defense to score up some reputation points, because it's what gets them free early review copies, goodie bags, get flown to showcase events and also get exclusive coverage.
Well the only thing this journalist and their website are going to score with me is a Blacklist.
What critics?
The game looks dope. I'm getting it day one. Was there an issue I didn't hear about?
Capcom recently stated they are hiring more and more to return to "internal" development. They know the outsourcing they tried this generation has done more damage than good.
Tameem Antoniade's quote about the death threats:
"I have to say that it has been pretty eye opening to see some of the creative ways in which people have chosen to vent their hatred. We didn't expect death threats in comic book form or anti-DmC death metal songs!"
I believe this is one of the "death threats" Ninja theory received:
TAKE NOTICE: Of Tameem saying "we received death threats IN FORM OF anti-DmC comic and songs.
Look at the link i provided.
Did they receive death threats? I BET majority of things they received were anti-DmC material that they blew out of proportion calling it death threats for PR.
Up until now they haven't shown these "death threats" to anyone. It's been over a year now.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN a death threat and a anti-DmC:
Death threat: "TAmeem antoniades i will kill you if i see you on the streets of Cambridge".
Anti-DmC "Emo must die! Fuck Ninja theory".
Until we see the death threats for ourself we can't judge if they received death threats or not.
And these threats seems to not exist considering they haven't shown them to anyone, and ONLY TALKED ABOUT IT.
-I'm really excited, In fact this is my most anticipated game in the next 2 months, and besides some Wii U titles. I wish it was coming out in December, -and to reiterate what was said above, People are lucky they're getting a new DmC at all!
"People are lucky they're getting a new DmC at all! "
you must be joking...this is killing the franchise like RE6.
-Even still, if Ninja Theory hadn't stepped up to the plate, DMC would just sit and rot in a Capcom Janitors closet, I figured they were pretty much done with it with DMC:4, I mean seriously back tracking through the same levels midway through the game!.. Creativity much? and despite what many people seem to forget, That game Was NOT that good.
As the most successful franchise of the genre behind God of war , with over 3 million sales for the last game , no it's not luck that we are getting a sequel .
Nor any kind of blessing . You enjoy it fine , but let's stop pretending it's some favor . It's not some unknown indie game getting a sequel despite low sales . It sold massively well hence they authorized a new game .
The quality of a game never stopped capcom this gen , only sales matter .
Im pretty sure fans will hate it even more after playing the demo.
This is no Devil May Cry at all.
Fans of DMC gameplay - GAMEPLAY not character or story should save up their money instea for a Wii U.
Buy Bayonetta 2.
Because Capcom clearly isn't going for improved or better DMC gameplay. They are going for better graphics and better "story" (notice " " meaning story is pretty crap so far).

Cell phones chip away at family budgets, turn out a recession proof industry

easy to explain: people are getting dumber.
2. metalpoet (unregistered)
Easier to explain, carriers are money grubbing a**holes! And technology is getting better and better so people are willing to sacrifice to have that better technology! Their not entirely dumb but they are falling for all the marketing schemes*Cough Apple*
3. brd8951 (Posts: 26; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
It just shows that we are all falling victim to the carrier's master plan. It started a few years ago when they mandated that 'feature phones' require a data plan....so they can receive updates. What a load of BS. People said, why spend $10/mo for data on a slow, crappy phone at dial-up speed when for $20 more I can get a much better phone and make better use of the data I'm paying for. Now that we are hooked on this 'digital crack' we can't stop. They know it, but unfortunately most people don't. Why do you think they want to cap your data? Because once your city receives 4G and you can start making real use of a higher data speed, you'll start using more data. Face it, once you've seen video content in High Def, nothing else compares. So now your data consumption increases dramatically compared to what it was 2 years ago. Just wait until Vzw rolls out a cable tv plan with all the spectrum they just acquired allowing you to watch more tv on your phone....you'll be wishing you didn't sell-out your of your unlimited data plan.

Award-Winning Weight-Loss Retreat near Sunny Pacific Coast
Since 2004, tens of millions of viewers have tuned into the hit reality show "The Biggest Loser" to watch contestants shed pounds and revamp their eating habits during an intense weight-loss competition. Season winners invariably emerge 100–150 pounds lighter, with completely reshaped physiques. The show's focus on committing to strict exercise and nutritional regimens is also at the core of The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge, Malibu, which was voted a top 10 fitness program in the SpaFinder Readers' Choice Awards in 2011, and named one of Spas of America's top 100 spas.
The resort's weight-loss program fits exercise, healthy meals, and lifestyle seminars into a daily schedule from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Certified personal trainers might jump-start mornings with hikes through the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a beautiful, Mediterranean-like mountain range with both beginner and expert trails. At mealtimes, the resort provides nutritious, low-calorie meals designed by registered dieticians, holistic nutritionists, and Culinary Institute of America-trained executive chef Rodolfo Reyes. For dinner, you could celebrate a productive day with a Hawaiian chicken bowl, topped off with key-lime crème brulee for dessert. Breakfast and lunch provide energy for additional exercises throughout the day, which may include water aerobics, kickboxing, or yoga.
Between workouts, groups attend lectures on weight training and nutrition education, including food-label reading and body-workout recovery. An onsite, full-service spa rewards hard-working participants with massages, facials, and acupuncture treatments (not included with this Groupon).
One of the hallmarks of the program is a supportive team environment, as each person encourages other members of the team to push further than they thought they could go. At the end of the week, trainers record each guest's weight and measurements and note their progress. But the program doesn't necessarily have to end there; the experience should help guests stick with a healthier lifestyle long after their stay.

A day of remembrance to mark the centenary of World War I, hosted by Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre, takes place next month.
Organisers asked Elmbridge residents to bring mementos, such as photos of loved ones, memorabilia and documents to help experts and researchers record objects and stories of the World War I period for the Elmbridge Remembers project.
The meeting takes place from 11am to 4pm on Sunday, May 11.
Ian Burrows, head of leisure and cultural services for Elmbridge Council said: "The idea behind this event is to make it your day. It's a chance for the public to bring along family items, recollections and stories of the events that changed the world forever, anything from a favourite recipe to medals of honour and from stories of the front line to tales of the home front."
Researchers are also looking for photos of soldiers who fought in the war for a special visual project, especially those soldiers whose names appear on war memorials across Elmbridge.
Co-ordinators of the project aim to connect the borough's links to the war efforts, offer a chance to learn from the experiences, recollections and objects provided by Elmbridge residents, and create a lasting legacy of remembrance of World War I for the benefit of all generations.
The World War I open day is also sponsored by the Elmbridge Council, the RC Sherriff Trust and Elmbridge Museum.

Now as a deadly mob war between whisky-runners rocks her quiet town, Annabel is caught in the crossfire of passion, betrayal-and murder.

The director of Washington's Fish and Wildlife Department Friday said he hopes never again to have to order the killing of an entire wolf pack, as happened last month. In Olympia Friday, cattlemen and wolf lovers offered the agency radically different ideas for how to avoid a repeat.
A large crowd of people waited hours upon hours to sound off to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. Rancher Bill McIrvin thanked state officials for eliminating the wolf pack that was preying on his family's cattle. He says it's time to remove wolves from the state endangered list so they can be selectively hunted.
McIrvin: "What we would like to see is regional de-listing so that they could be managed more like bear and cougar, which are still there in significant numbers."
McIrvin was preceded to the podium by more than a dozen speakers who expressed sadness and anger at the situation. David Hornoff of the National Wolfwatcher Coalition says more needs to be asked of cattlemen.
Hornoff: "We expect the state to hold livestock owners to the agreements that they have made to work with wildlife officials in applying non-lethal practices to prevent conflict with wildlife."
A new tool the state wants to explore is a chemical "bio-fence" that would repel wolves from grazing areas.

Purple bandana : Able Seaman E Conway, HMAS Kanimbla
A printed cotton purple, white and black coloured bandana with a paisley design. Two corners of the bandana are tied together for wearing on the head.
This bandana is featured in the artwork 'Stoker Emma Conway: the engine room, HMAS Kanimbla' painted 18 February 2002 by the Official Australian War Artist Peter Churcher whilst on board HMAS Kanimbla. Able Seaman Conway was the only female who voluntarily worked as a stoker in Kanimbla. The engine room is very cramped and very hot and extremely noisy. Able Seaman Conway wore the bandana over her hair while working in the engine room. HMAS Kanimbla (LPA-51) was built for the United States Navy as USS Saginaw and was launched on 7 February 1970. Kanimbla was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy in August 1994. Kanimbla was heavily involved in Operation Slipper conducting a variety of tasks such as patrol, mine recovery, compliant boardings and non-compliant boardings in the Persian Gulf in 2001-2

Shrewsbury v Bury preview
Team news for Saturday's League One clash between Shrewsbury and Bury at Greenhous Meadow.
Last Updated: 25/01/13 12:12pm
Team news for Saturday's League One clash between Shrewsbury and Bury at Greenhous Meadow.
Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner will have to reshuffle his defence.
Centre-back Jermaine Grandison was this week ruled out for at least six weeks with a hip injury.
Grandison has been managing the complaint over the last couple of weeks but was eventually forced off at half-time in last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Swindon.
That means Yado Mambo is likely to come in although fellow defender Cameron Gayle also stands a chance of starting against the Shakers.
Otherwise, long-term absentees Mark Wright (knee) and Ryan Doble (hand) are expected to be the only ones to miss out.
Shrews, in 18th place in the league, currently find themselves four places and eight points clear of third-bottom Bury.
Bury manager Kevin Blackwell has a raft of new options following a busy week in the loan market.
Forward Nicky Ajose and defender Ashley Eastham have returned to Gigg Lane from Peterborough and Blackpool respectively for their second temporary spells with the league strugglers.
Eastham could be joined in the Shakers' back four by Stephane Zubar, who agreed a move from Bournemouth until the end of the season on Thursday.
Bolton winger Gregg Wylde and QPR striker Troy Hewitt are back with their parent clubs following the end of their own loan spells.
Mark Carrington (groin) and Andy Bishop (foot) are fit to play but Bishop's fellow striker David Healy (groin) is out.
Defenders Phil Picken (knee) and Adam Lockwood (groin) are out for the season along with midfielder Shane Byrne (blood disorder).

CNN: Obama opposes Boy Scouts' ban of gay members
Obama opposes Boy Scouts' ban of gay members
(CNN) – A White House spokesman said Wednesday that President Barack Obama disagrees with a ban on gays in the Boy Scouts, despite serving as that organization's honorary president.
In July, the Boy Scouts of America announced it had affirmed its policy of "not granting membership to open or avowed homosexuals."
The organization's leaders reached that decision after a nearly two-year evaluation and will take no further action on a resolution that has sought a change in policy, the group said in a news release. The organization had said last month that it would consider a resolution asking that local units be allowed to determine their own standards.
BSA's chief scout executive and national president had convoked a committee of volunteers and professional leaders to evaluate the policy.
On Wednesday, White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Obama recognized the value of the Boy Scouts, but disagreed with their ban on gays.
"The President believes the Boy Scouts is a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century," Inouye wrote. "He also opposes discrimination in all forms, and as such opposes this policy that discriminates on basis of sexual orientation."
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has supported allowing gays to participate in the Boy Scouts, but he has also supported the Boy Scouts' right to decide its own policies.
On its website, the Boy Scouts write that every president since 1910 – the year of the Scouts' founding – has served as its honorary president.
In a statement, the president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation hailed Obama's decision while criticizing the Boy Scouts' decision to remain closed to gay members.
"Our nation's leaders from across religions and political persuasions have joined hundreds of thousands of Americans in speaking out against the blatant discrimination that the Boy Scouts of America teaches young adults today. It's clear that this outdated policy will be changing in the future," GLAAD President Herndon Graddick wrote.
"How long will the Boy Scouts continue to bully young gay Americans into hiding who they are and hurt children of gay parents by denying their parents an opportunity to participate in their children's lives?"

MBS Bonsai Exhibits and Shows
The Milwaukee Bonsai Society promotes its activities locally at several exhibits and shows each year. Let's look at a few starting early in the seasons.
Winter Silhouettes Exhibit
In addition to the joys of snow during the winter and early spring months, we in the Midwest have an opportunity to view our landscape in the 'raw', that is, without the dressing of buds, leaves and flowers.
This show is our annual Winter Silhouettes Exhibit usually held at the Domes in conjunction with the Garden Railway Show. Only deciduous trees are featured such as maples, hornbeams, elms, hawthorns, apples, to name a few.
The pictures here are from the 2015 show and includes a peak at the trains.
For more details of the current Winter Silhouettes Exhibit check out the Silhouette Flyer .
Spring Bonsai Display
In spring, trees that have been dormant all winter are covered with new buds and foliage. Some even bloom. This annual renewal of life is our Spring Bonsai Display which features spring-blooming trees, trees just kicking off their flush of growth.
Usually this show is held at the Lynden Sculpture Garden giving visitors an opportunity to learn about this fascinating ancient art form as well as explore the variety of stunning outdoor sculptures.
For more details of the current Spring Bonsai Display check out the Spring Show Flyer .
Wisconsin State Fair
During the Wisconsin State Fair in August, the Horticulture, Craft & Culinary Pavilion is home to an extensive collection of bonsai trees during our Rotating Bonsai Display; Exhibit 1 – Thursday – Sunday, Exhibit 2 – Monday – Wednesday and Exhibit 3 – Thursday – Sunday.
Each year the Wisconsin State Fair comes up with a new theme and with this theme in mind we share our trees with the thousands of fair goers. All three exhibits are judged as separate shows so there are plenty of ribbons to go around!
Check out the State Fair Flyer and for more details see the MBS newsletter for current information.
Annual Exhibit
Our first annual exhibit was in 1970, only one year after founding MBS. Each and every year since then, we have held an exhibition of the best trees of our members. Like this picture from an earlier exhibit in 2005 and the one below it from 2014.
In recent years we have made this exhibit not only a member event but a public celebration of our bonsai achievements. We have added a headlining artist to judge, vendors, workshops, and a banquet. It's our opportunity to enjoy each other's company in work and play among our bonsai.
An exhibit of the best trees of our members... along with trees in training. See the Annual Exhibit Flyer for details and times for this 3 day exhibit. And for current on-going information on the event see Annual Exhibit
Holiday Folk Fair
Join in the celebration of cultural diversity. Holiday Folk Fair International showcases the heritage and culture of over 50 ethnic groups through international exhibits, food and dance performances. Our commitment to children's activities includes this very unusual exhibit. Our members display trees and provide children's activities. There is an especially big rush on Friday as children race to fill their "passport".
It is great fun for everyone. See the Folk Fair Flyer for details and times for this 3 day exhibit.
Exhibit Activities
MBS has also sponsors booths at garden shows, Japanese Cultural Events, fundraising events, garden tours, athletic clubs and specialty show such as the one pictured here for the graduation of the Advance Class after three years of study. Watch the What's New page to learn which events are upcoming.You can get involved by showing trees, greeting and educating the public as they enjoy the trees. Join a show committee and help design and coordinate the exhibit. These are excellent opportunities to learn more about displaying and the aesthetics of bonsai.
On the right or more details for volunteering opportunities and pictures of our members enjoying these activities.
Consider joining your best choice for bonsai fun, education, and community service, Join MBS, and let the fun begin.
Great exhibits are much more than decoration, they tell a tree's story and build relationships with the community. Our plan is to continue a tradition of fine bonsai exhibits. Learn more about shows and join a team that leads the design and set-up of a classy bonsai exhibit like this group above who lead the 2012 Annual Exhibit or the group below who lead the first Silhouette show at the Milwaukee Domes.

WANBOROUGH'S Louise Hunt was able to maintain her composure during a rain break to seal her first title of the year in Spain.
The wheelchair tennis player was victorious at the Open Memorial Santi Silvas at the Club Natacio Olot, beating home player Lola Ochoa in the final.
Having beaten 13-year-old Luz Esperanza Merry in the semi, Hunt took the first set of the final on a tiebreak, before rain forced the pair off the court with the Wanborough player narrowly trailing.
However, when the wet weather cleared, top seed Hunt kicked on and came out the 7-6, 6-2 victor.
"'I'm really excited to win this tournament, it's my first time here and it's a really great tournament. It's the first tournament I've won this year in singles, so I'm very happy," said Hunt.
"Obviously when you get a rain delay it's really frustrating but you just have to take it in your stride as no one can do anything about it.
"It was frustrating for me because I didn't feel like I played my best tennis in the first set and then I was 2-0 down in the second. I brought it back to 3-2 so I felt like I was really picking up my game and the rain came in.
"But I stuck to my routines in the nearly three hour rain delay and came back and played by best tennis at the end, so that all that matters, really.
"I've played a lot of tournaments throughout my career, but I can honestly say this is one of my favourites. I've never felt so welcomed to a tournament. The set up is fantastic, from the way they cater for the players in the players' lounge.
"The umpires and ball boys are fantastic, so I'm really liking it here and I'll definitely come back," added the world No. 19.

I know...I know...nearly a year late, but I can hardly afford buying new games nowadays.....I wait and by them later when the price has came down.
Anyway, my questions is concerning the online campaign. How exactly does that work. For example....if I start a new online campaign and people play with me and we complete the first chapter then decide to quit.
What happens the next day when I boot it up? Do I have the option to play that same campaign by myself offline or do I start from the same point online and only the guys who played earlier can play with me?? or is it like an open game where
anyone can jump in at anytime?
Also, If I am not the host and play with someone else.........when they quit ...what happens?
