It's been a busy few months, but life is starting to slow down a bit so I'm ready to get this action ball rolling jumping again! No doubt you've noticed the obvious layout changes - goodbye boring black and hello pre-designed template that took absolutely no creative input by me ;-). I may be playing around with different designs until I find one that really tickles my fancy, but don't fret - the quality of shots from peeps around the world will stay the same!
Let's start our return to action with a slew of shots from our trip to California last month ( . . . the trip that was one of the main reasons I had to break from the blog). It was a week of ridiculous hours, followed by a week of ridiculous fun!
West coast adventures ACTION!

From Huntington Beach to Santa Monica, Universal Studios to Disneyland, Los Angeles to the OC, and a few places in between . . . good times where had, indeed!
Ta DAH! Man, it feels good to be sharing the jump love again!! Check back soon for more shots from others (I'm done hoggin' the lime light with my own shots, promise!). I won't be doing posts everyday, but I will be updating a few times a week, so see you soon!

Vacation Rental Summary
I have rented several properties from Kaiser Realty in the past and it has always been a great vacation experience. This year we rented a beach house for a family Thanksgiving gathering with our kids and grand kids. We were all looking forward to a great Thanksgiving on the beach. When I arrived I stopped by the Kaiser office, registered and picked the keys to the beach house.Arriving at the property I inspected the house and layout of bed rooms and baths. I then walked onto the deck and saw bulldozers on the beach and yellow caution tape between the beach house and the beach. I called back to Kaiser and was informed the work would not be completed before our checkout date. They did have another property, The Blue Parrot West 6, that was available and could accommodate our family's needs. The Blue Parrot West 6 is a duplex with a swimming pool and the beach was open. We still had a great family vacation and Kaiser worked with us on correcting a situation that had upset me greatly. I thank them for that. I would not have chosen the Blue Parrot because of the stairs (three flights). There is nothing wrong with the property at all, except for the numbers of stairs and my knees not being what they used to be. If you have no problem with stairs it is a great property for your vacation needs. My only complaint is with regards to the beach situation at the original property. When we checked in nothing was said about the beach being closed for repair. If the Blue Parrot had not been available (5 bedrooms) it would have resulted in a not so great family Thanksgiving vacation. I will continue using Kaiser for my next beach get away but I will be asking a few more questions next time.
Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay and let us know about your experience. We are glad to hear that you and your family had an enjoyable Thanksgiving experience and intend on using Kaiser Realty for your future vacation needs.
Please have peace of mind knowing your comments have been sent to housekeeping, our entire management team and the owner of this unit in order to thoroughly address your concerns. As a standing practice, we work diligently to right any situation brought to our attention during your stay with us, and we thank you for bringing these issues/concerns to our attention.
We look forward to seeing you again along our sugar white sand beaches and encourage you to visit us online at www.KaiserRealty.com or call us at(800) 225-4853 for help with any of your future vacation needs.
We look forward to serving you and your family again soon!

If vulgarity is an art form, then "Road Trip" aims to a masterpiece.

Income and the Use of Prescription Drugs by the Elderly: Evidence from the Notch CohortsJohn R. MoranPenn State University Kosali Ilayperuma SimonIndiana University Bloomington - School of Public & Environmental Affairs (SPEA); National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) December 1, 2004 Syracuse University Center for Policy Research Working Paper No. 66 Abstract: We use exogenous variation in Social Security payments created by the Social Security benefits notch to estimate how retirees' use of prescription medications responds to changes in their incomes. In contrast to estimates obtained using ordinary least squares, instrumental variables estimates based on the notch suggest that lower-income retirees exhibit considerable income sensitivity in their use of prescription drugs. Our estimates are potentially useful for thinking about the health implications of changes in transfer payments to the elderly and for evaluating the benefits of the recently enacted Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Happy Holidays from Aribra.com!
To many it seemed 2009 just started but for some of us, we're delighted to see it come to a close. This has been an incredible year of transformation both personally and professionally. 2009 brought about a few changes I don't think anyone saw coming; an unlikely president, social media became the buzz, climate change took center stage and I turned 30 to name a few.
I'm hopeful that as we usher in 2010, we will see more and more opportunities present themselves as we rebuild our economy and move toward a more sustainable future. With the help of some great minds, I've made it my challenge to establish a platform to share ideas with Aribra.com – mission accomplished.
If you have been following the blog, you've received an education on permaculture, geography, land use, sensible green building, global vision, public health and we're just getting started! I'm not out to 'change the world' per se but raise awareness and perhaps inspire a mind or generation that will. We're only as great as the person next to us.
There is an NBC campaign that promotes awareness and personal responsibility with "The More You Know". Well, now you know that we have hope; that sustainably isn't just a buzz word; that we are the future and are apart of a generation that will stand together and combat some of our greatest challenges.
May you continue to be blessed and prosper in the New Year!
Onward. YEBH

Darkstalkers Resurrection is set for release March 12th on PlayStation Network and March 13 on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
I know people love arcade perfect ports, but they really should have gone with the Playstation 1 version of Darkstalkers 3, since it had all the characters.
I played Q-Bee and knowing that half of an already small community will be split in another game (And that I won't be able to fight against 3 characters) kind of kills the excitement for me.
WTF?! They took the characters away?! Agrees with #1 That just may have detoured me a bit from purchasing the game. Arcade perfect or not they could have placed those three characters in the game.
im pretty sure a huge majority of players that pick this up, will most likely play Vampire Savior. Its the defining game in the franchise,that really sets it apart from most fighters.
I've never played a Darkstalkers game...I know I'm not the only one who gets confused as hell with which game is which based on U.S. and Japanese names. There needs to be a definitive name for each because I can never remember which one is which for some reason.
Splitting an already small community is a bad idea, I agree with #1 as well that we should have just had one game that is the total package.
@1 Actually the Dreamcast/PSP ver. The Chaos Tower is the best of them all, because it have all games in it plus a couple of good game modes and unlockable art gallery.
the engine for both games are very unique. Some moves and hitboxes have been drastically changed or replaced. Its not as simple as copy & pasting them into both games. Thats why Vampire Savior 2 & Vampire Hunter 2 exists.
Anyone besides me hope they keep the same announcer for the upcoming Darkstalker game? Or at least have the option to use his voice again.
Guys think about this for a second, don't you think when it comes to this game that the the Ds/Vs community is already split? Combining them into one game isn't going to make the community all of a sudden BIGGER, it will just alienate the people who liked their version own version of the game. plus again, I doubt it would be as simple as adding the missing characters because both versions play extremely different.
I had the Saturn version of Vampire Savior back in the day. It stomped all over the PS1 version. It also had all the characters in the game. Not having Donovan available in DS3 is real drag.
I been sad about not having huitzil in ds3 forever now. It is hype killing 4me. Everyone sittin here acting like they are going to win the local darkstalkers tournament because this or that version is in but we know that aint the truth. If it were up to me the package shouldve been:
Arcade Ds3
Arcade vampire
And then arrange mode with all stages, music and character versions in one game so the REST of us can sleep comfortably knowing that there is finnally a "complete" version, alot like VS2 but with extra stages. Ya Know? Im still playing this on ps1 and dreamcast but DAMN. that would be so nice to have in HD with online.
Hype deflated for me. I will still buy to support cobra commander tho
InitialR: yours are the only honest posts, man.
Different names, different engines, character additions and removals is how these games were made since way before most of you started into FG's people. There's no need to change those things if the objective was to make the port as loyal as possible to the arcade version. Besides, there's goddamn wikipedia, man. You're telling me they can't take a couple minutes to look up for some info in the internet??
@10 Did it? I thought for some reason the Saturn Version was the Vampire Savior 2, which was a Japan only release that was missing some different set of characters; Rikuo, Sasquatch, and Jon Talbain...
I didn't have it, but if Marvel vs Street Fighter was any indication, Saturn did a much more impressive job handling Capcom fighters than the PSX did.
I'm not gonna lose much sleep over this because I don't have either console, PC's my only gaming platform.
I think the problem is this. Even though arcades were around back when the DS/Vampire franchise first released, the games weren't nearly as wide spread as Street Fighter. I didn't get to play Vampire Savior in the arcades until after I imported the Saturn version. So it felt like a downgrade with the missing characters.
Yeah, way to go arcade perfection whiners. The game was never gonna be arcade perfect anyway thanks to modern consoles input lag, and thanks to you it won't be complete either. I'm not gonna pay for the same damn thing I spent tons of quarters on, and now have on MAME.
Now instead of something as cool as Vampire Chronicle For Matching Service (Dreamcast) we get a barebones game with a new soundtrack.
I'm sort of with everyone who's asking for all of the characters to be included in one of the games. Personally, I came into Darkstalkers with Darkstalkers 3, which had the entire cast. Sure, it played kind of funny because it was the Playstation era, but the upgrade on the PSP improved everything by leaps and bounds on that front.
Listen, I understand the desire for an 'arcade perfect' port... but what does one really lose by having the option to have all of the characters in DS3? Maybe make it something that can be filtered or switched on and off in lobbies or ranked mode, but why keep it away entirely? The argument against this is especially silly after the recent Injustice article, where many folks were arguing that having more options was always a better thing. After reading comments there, I'm not sure how the community can rightly argue that having fewer options makes this better.
Of course, I would wager that this is also being done to give players more reason to play both versions. Most everyday players wouldn't spend much time on the version that's 'missing' part of the cast.
And for those arguing that it's truly arcade perfect to have Donovan, Huitzil, and Pyron missing in DS3, I read on the Unity forums several times that Huitzil's data (lifebar and portrait and whatnot) was actually programmed into the arcade version, but he wasn't accessible because of memory limitations. Him being out of that game had nothing to do with balance.
@ InitialR
I can agree with that. I just hope whichever version I end up liking more isn't the community that gets screwed just because the other version happens to appeal to more FGC members and gets labeled the "one to play". I'll play whichever one despite that, but there is little incentive to put time into a game if there is no one to play against within a few months. Just ask almost every other digital download community.
If you play in arcade like me or on GGPO like real player fanbase would then you would know. I am a real player darkstalkers. Complaining about characters that would be banned in tournament. You would not even be willing to take the time to learn game as much as me. If you really were fan of this game you would know that. I am hitler for player darkstalkers like all of you. Don't make me repeat myself.
My Race Car Is The Fastest.
The Psp version was practically arcade perfect and also had all the characters. I own the Night Warriors and DarkStalkers 3. Yes they are different in comparison but it should not be difficult.
The Sega Saturn version of the game was part 2 of the series. The PlayStation version was one. That is why the Sega version was superior.
Don't blame Capcom for the missing characters in Vampire Savior, CPS2 had limited RAM to store all the characters data that's why we got 2 other CPS2 releases for the game (Vampire Savior 2/Vampire Hunter 2) and those failed.
Yes Vampire Chronicles(Dreamcast/PSP) was a very good port even with the console specific bugs/differences and they should have used that one version.
But if you want Arcade perfect this CPS2 ported version is the one.
Sigh....no Donovan in D3....I can understand the advocacy for arcade-perfect, but I was sure looking forward to playing with Donovan and Jedah online (in the same game). Ah well, at least I have Night Warriors.
As a huge DS fan i wont be getting this because it just feels really dumb and cluttered.2 games with different speeds/characters?!?
The best all time version of DS was Vampire Savior for Jap Dreamcast(and PSP)it featured every character and fighting grove from past DS's in one game,along with arcade perfect animations(i still play it to this day on Dreamcast).I cant understand why Capcom didnt just update that version instead,since it was the definitve best version of all DS titles.That way everyone can play and get good at one DS game instead of 2.
@27 I meant to say Vampire "Chronicle" was the all time best version of a DS game ever.
I still dont understand why update 2 good but faulty titles,when they had 1 perfectly complete title to choose from.
I'll still get it. I can get over Makoto not being in SFxTK and Maki not being in SSF IV, people can get over Donovan not being in DS 3. Yu wanted Arcade port and Donovan, Pyron, and Huitzil were originally console exclusive before the compliations like Vampire Savior 2 and Chaos Tower arrived. Hell, I hate the dubstep-remixes but will learn to get used to it (or change it if the options avaliable) so just learn to get over it.
I still dont understand why they didn't just port Chaos Tower...
DAWWW!! capcom really cares. i feel sad for the haters.
Awww I don't like that 3 doesn't have all the characters.
I find the complaining laughably dumb. If you like Don, Bot, and Pyron...PLAY VAMPIRE HUNTER!!! IT'S A GOOD GAME!
People automatically assume that, some how, 2 is inferior to 3. That's NOT true, THEY ARE ENTIRELY different games. It's like SFIII and SFIV, that's how different they are.
They included the previous game like this for a reason. Trust me folks, when you play BOTH games, you'll understand why they chose for it t be this way..
geat video learned a lot
I'll be sticking with NightWarriors, see ya'll online :)
No buy for anymore.
I'll now buy the ps1 version on PSN store cause it have all the characters.
Your lost Capcom. One less buyer.

Lately, I've been seeing many similarities between my life and circus life. My life is loud, messy and colorful. Small, entertaining people wearing colorful costumes are the stars the show. They are always putting on an act - with or without animals. They sing, dance, juggle, swing and jump from things. I like to think I am the ring leader but we all know their training is seriously lacking.
I am a stay-at-home mom of a school-aged daughter and not-quite-school-age son. I am passionate about my family, friends, writing, running and crafts. I'm a regular mom trying to survive the crazy world of parenthood.
My car is like a clown car - lots of people and their junk crammed into it and driving around in circles. And, until my almost 4-year-old decided to be potty-trained, I spent a lot of my time cleaning up poop. Way too much junk food is consumed. And it is always feeding time.
I am the ring leader, juggler and tightrope walker. I am always balancing my parenting. I need to be firm but fair, opened-minded but authoritative, strict but fun, encouraging but not indulgent. I need to be mom, nurse, taxi driver, teacher, guide, cruise director, disciplinarian, referee, cook, and maid.
Welcome to my circus. It's the greatest show on Earth. Take a ringside seat, enjoy the show and watch out for poop.

The 5A regional held at Braeburn Golf Course was not only hosted by Kapaun, but it was also where the Crusaders qualified for state.
"It helps when you practice here every day," said sophomore Hannah Perkins after leading her team to win the regional.
Wednesday, Perkins hit an 88 as the Kapaun team won the city league tournament by a score of 369. She says that with some adjustments, she was able to improve from last week.
Today, Perkins shot a 42 in the front nine and an impressive 38 in the back in order to finish with an 80.
"My putts and my chips were really good (today)," said Perkins. "My short game was better than normal."
Teammates that will join Perkins at state are Wells (85), Hannah Johnston (90), Alex Jennings (98), Katie Miller (104), and Kali Babich (105).
The individual second place winner was Carly Hill from Bishop Carroll with an 84. Kapaun's Katie Wells tied with Eisenhower's Makena Mucciaccio at 85 to round up the top four.
The top three teams punched a ticket into the state tournament including Kapaun who took first with a score of 353. Bishop Carroll finished seven strokes behind them with a 360, and Goddard Eisenhower took third with a 373.
Other teams that competed in the regional were Arkansas City (395), Goddard (429), Andover Central (436), and Liberal.
From the teams that did not qualify, there were seven players who won a spot due to individual performace. Jace Goode from Ark City (95), Shelby Hooper from Goddard (95), Abbi Moulton from Ark City (98), Lea Clubb from Andover Central (98), Kacee Campbell from Ark City (101), Bailey Gage from Ark City (101), and Taylor Schlyer from Goddard (101).

We get a lot of records sent to us here at The A.V. Club. Fortunately, we end up liking some of them. In Playlisted, we share our latest recommendations.
Album: Brenmar's Slow Grind, Deep Hustle, Vol. 2 (out now from DummyMag.com)
Press play if you like: Smart, soulful hip-hop and R&B mixes that are stirred together, not shaken.
Some background: As the former drummer for Brooklyn proto-punk group These Are Powers, Bill Salas knows something about sweet beats. Working now as Brenmar, Salas is making self-described "club music for the present," mixing house beats with solid-gold vocals that make strobe lights flash and even the whitest of booties shake. Most of his material is available online in one form or another, as Brenmar's real power comes live, where he's a straight-up clever and surprising mixer. A lot of his tracks, like "Let Me Hit That Shit," are a little repetitive, but in classic dance-music style, it ends up being mesmerizingly perfect rather than dull.
Try this: Slow Grind, Deep Hustle, Vol. 2 is a little different than most of Brenmar's original material, though it's just as special. It still has the power to move listeners, but in more of a grinding, sliding motion than a true bounce. The 44-minute mix slowly, sensually sticks together tracks from artists like Danity Kane and Dru Hill, most of which—save Mariah Carey's "Sweetheart," featuring Jermaine Dupri—probably hit somewhere under the radar of the average music fan. Throw in some heady remixes of Destiny's Child and The-Dream, and the mix becomes a late-night R&B lover's dream, all emotion, no grit. It's sweetly dirty and sure to inspire plenty of singing along, neck-wiggling, and straight sass. It's a perfect listen on a nice spring drive or during a bitchy night of heartbreak.

Data protection fee to cost bigger orgs £500 a year
Don't pretend you can't afford it
Posted in Management, 9th July 2009 09:17 GMT
Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V
Organisations with a turnover of £25.9 million or more and 250 or more staff will be required to pay the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) an annual notification fee of £500 with effect from 1st October. The current fee is just £35.
Notification is a requirement for 'data controllers' under the Data Protection Act. Every organisation that processes personal information must notify the ICO, unless they are exempt. Failure to notify is a criminal offence.
The higher rate will also apply to public authorities with 250 or more staff. Charities, small occupational pension schemes, organisations with a turnover below £25.9m and those with a higher turnover but fewer than 250 staff will continue to pay £35.
It is the first time the notification fee has changed since 2000. According to an explanatory memorandum from the Ministry of Justice, the higher fee payable by so-called 'tier two' organisations "reflects the amount of resources invested by the IC in regulating large data controllers."
The cost of fulfilling the ICO's data protection regulatory and advisory responsibilities is £16 million per year, according to the Ministry of Justice memo. The ICO's own research has indicated that less than 4 per cent of data controllers will meet the criteria for tier two.
"A tiered structure will increase ICO resources by approximately £4.7m per year," the memo suggests.
The notification process requires an organisation to explain its uses of personal information by completing a form. The details are stored in a register of data controllers that is available to the public for inspection. In practice, almost every organisation in the UK will process some personal data, though companies that only process personal data for payroll purposes are exempt.
The new levels were set by the Data Protection (Notification and Notification Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 which were laid before Parliament on Monday. The new fee structure will apply to notifications and renewals from 1st October.

This is what I love about govt. fees
They can arbitrarily change them whenever they please. They don't have to account to anyone, nor defend their actions - just UP the charges (and UP yours if you don't like it). There's no concept of competition: you can't go to a privately run ICO - or any other QUANGO for that matter, nor of value for money - you never find out what your individual contribution buys you. You don't have the option of opting out as these things are mandatory / legally enforced and companies have no input into the democratic process to say whether or not they want the "service" the gummint says they must take..
The same thing happens to real people too. Whether it's being mugged for a BBC license fee, screwed over for council tax (that goes up every year, by more than inflation) or any of the other fees, licenses, charges or taxes that we get railroaded into paying - no matter who you vote for, or which party is in power.
probably read it wrong
but surely that's no different to the old highway robbery? you want to use this public road? Pay me some dough! You want to have a company with data? Pay me money to approve!
Oh great
Not only are employment agencies counted as large companies when it comes to having to file everything online, but not getting the kick back for filling online, we now have to pay 14x the amount for Data protection notification even if we only turn over a few hudred thousand...
Great. but now...
... how about actually giving the ICO some teeth instead of them only being able to wag a finger and say "naughty people, you should make customers' data secure"?

College of Art& Sciences, Western Illinois University - Quad Cities
Program of Study
The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) degree at Western Illinois University - Quad Cities offers focused programs tailored to students´ academic needs and interests and provides a broad liberal education base. The program incorporates study in the traditional areas of liberal education– Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences/Mathematics– to form a cohesive academic foundation. The degree program provides a cohesive base for employment opportunities and further professional and graduate education.

The LAS program is a 120 semester hour (SH) baccalaureate program with a 36 SH (minimum) major course of study. Students can complete the degree in several different ways. Students may elect to complete a Multidisciplinary Emphasis or a Paired Minor Emphasis (both are explained below). The major includes introductory and capstone courses. In addition, students in the LAS program will complete the College´s general education requirements as well as a minor program of study in a discipline of the student´s choosing. A number of elective courses round out the degree requirements.
Emphases in the LAS Degree
The Bachelor of LAS program offers two types of emphases:
1. Multidisciplinary Emphases
People in Context explores human behavior and the interrelated forces (i.e., individual, biological, social, environmental, political, and cultural) that influence us.
The Environment offers broad study of the environment from scientific, social, political, and humanistic vantage points. -
2. Paired Minor Emphasis
Students can select two existing liberal arts and sciences minor programs that meet his or her academic or career needs. To ensure the integrity of the degree, some restrictions exist regarding which minors may be paired, but there are numerous possibilities.
Through participation in the LAS program, students will have the opportunity to study with a highly qualified and diverse faculty who hold advanced degrees from prestigious institutions from throughout the United States and from around the world.

There are many scholarships for which LAS students are eligible. Visit the scholarships website at wiu.edu/Scholarship for additional information.
Transfer Students
In most cases, students entering the LAS program with an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree should be able to complete the program within four semesters. Students pursuing an associate degree who plan to enroll in the LAS program should consult with their adviser to ensure a smooth transition to Western.
Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity
Undergraduate research and creative activity programs in the College of Arts and Sciences have had a phenomenal effect on students´ learning experiences. In these programs, undergraduates work directly with faculty mentors in numerous areas throughout the College to conduct research and creative activity projects. Through these programs, students learn to seek answers in a logical and methodical way, and to communicate these answers to people who may not be specialists in a particular area. These skills will last students a lifetime. Competitive student undergraduate research and creative activity grants are available.

After College
The Bachelor of LAS degree is designed to prepare students for a productive life, equipping them with the transferable skills most valued by employers. Those skills include the ability to think critically, to communicate cogently and persuasively, to analyze situations and synthesize information, and to approach and understand things from a variety of perspectives. The LAS degree can prepare students for careers in journalism, social services, public relations, politics, customer service, advertising, recruitment, personnel, and more. Students who complete the LAS degree may also consider graduate studies in English, history, journalism, law, biology, psychology, sociology, communication, and other professional disciplines. Additionally, our Master of LAS degree provides the opportunity for further customized graduate education.

The Vision Stone is made by the same manufacturer who makes the amazing Vision cartomizers. The Stone is a tank cartomizer that holds about 5 mL of e-liquid. These are 2.1-2.3 ohms and, as I've come to expect from this manufacturer, are beautifully made and look very cool with a KGO battery without the need for a cone. Because of the lower ohms, they burn hotter than the Vision cartomizers so I don't recommend these for delicate or floral flavors as the heat will tend to reduce the heat sensitive organic flavors. However, the throat hit the Vision Stone delivers is amazing! Each one comes with its own drip tip in your choice of black or white. The included drip tip is on the small side and some of them don't fit on as snugly as I'd like. I prefer to use these with a Cherry Vape drip tip or the Cherry Vape Universal which also does a better job of blocking the occasional splash of e-liquid through the central tube.
Unlike some tanks, I do not recommend you ask for your e-liquid to be thinned for use in these. E-liquid that is too thin will tend to leak into the central tube or out the bottom and my standard e-liquid formula without thinning performs better in these.
Like all cartomizers and other disposables, this product cannot be returned or exchanged and does not come with any warranty.
Not suitable for use with Joye 510 batteries. Made for a larger size battery such as the Ego or KGO.
This is the second generation Vision Stone II.
CLEARANCE SALE!!! We think the ViVi Nova far surpasses this product so we've put these on clearance sale until they're gone.
