Mike, I understand your feelings thinking that the sender is getting a raw deal. In reality as a sender, once a print has left the coop so to speak, it's out of your hands.
I don't worry too much once my prints have gone, someday you may be surprised and see or hear about one of your postcards that you have sent, you never know!
I helped one of my nieces when she was about eight years old, to make a postcard for her to send to her grandparents. When the last of those grandparents died, that postcard was found in the top drawer alongside the last grandparents bed. My niece has that postcard back in her possession about 13 years after it was sent.
Regarding sending postcards in an envelope, well that is a reasonable thing, but I prefer to receive a postcard with war wounds from the mailing system, they have their own character after that experience!
Like Mick, I think that in an envelop, some "postcard spirit" is lost, but it is just my 2 cents.
- Note to self: Next time processing a film, take notice of the shape of the beer bottle and the shape of the fixer bottle, and note the differences. -
I'm with Mick on this one. The first time I was in one of the postcard exchanges(I think it was #5) I sent all my postcards in an envelope but it's fun to see in what kind of shape you receive your postcards. I've had postcards from all over the world and 90% of them come with nary a scratch but occasionally you get a little more damage. Plus you get the satisfaction of knowing that different people from all over the world (not just your recipients) get to se your image and read your words...

I am with Mick, Patrick, and Kate on this issue. I like seeing how each country's postal system handles post cards. The "war wounds" have messed-up a number of images, but it gives them character and uniqueness.
Quick catch up:
Lovely print of a birch trunk using shallow depth of field from Roger.
Stunning tonality on lorifrommontana's print of her Willys Wagon.
Great eye Darwin - really nice capture.
I've just finished printing my cards and they'll be in the post on Monday. I've gone for something a bit more experimental this time. I was attempting to create more individual images without giving up the speed benefits of serial production. Each print is different due to different combinations of bleach point, agitation and time in a second development in lith. Some are more alternative than others so everyone's going to have a different experience when they receive their card.
My website: Light Work
I just wondered as I sent all my cards out at the beginning of feb, if there is anyone who has not got it yet, this is my first time doing it and I am not sure how this is all normally done.
Paul, I received your card, thank you. Nice shot, it's subject matter that I'm partial to and I like the raking light across the frame. Good job. As a far as how it's done. Varies as you will find out. I usually ask at some point well after I have sent out my cards if anyone has not received a card, and if anyone responds, then I sent another. I Know that cards don't always make it.
Had another card waiting for me on Friday evening: Laurent's beautiful seaside shot! It has a strangely dramatic feeling to and is very well composed! Merci, Laurent!
I received Laurents landscape today. Definetly one I would like to see printed larger.

New Jersey consistently ranks as having among the nation's fairest systems of public school funding. However, the latest results in Is School Funding Fair? A National Report Card show an alarming slippage on this key indicator of state education performance.
The National Report Card (NRC) examines the condition of the 50 state school-finance systems on four key "fairness" measures: funding level, funding distribution, state fiscal effort, and public school coverage. A fair funding system is one that provides a sufficient level of funding distributed to account for the additional needs generated by student poverty, an essential foundation for ensuring all children the opportunity for educational success.
The third edition of the NRC analyzes data from 2007 through 2011.

Selected Enzymes from Extreme Thermophiles with Applications in Biotechnology
Peter L. Bergquist, Hugh W. Morgan and David Saul
Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, Biomolecular Frontiers Research Centre, Macquarie University, Sydney, New South Wales 2109, Australia.
Enzymes from extreme thermophiles that grow above 70 °C have a number of attractions in industrial applications. They are often highly resistant to denaturing conditions and are stable at elevated temperatures and over a range of pH values. There has been a widespread search for micro-organisms producing novel enzymes and where found, most publications (and research grant applications) promise that their superior properties would be suited to particular industries that operate at elevated temperatures - for example, bleaching of kraft pulp in the pulp and paper industry. Yet examination of the academic and patent literature reveals few of these proteins adopted in industrial enzymology. Most employed successfully have been as laboratory reagents, particularly Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase, which made the polymerase chain reaction possible and revolutionized gene manipulation at a laboratory level. Extremozymes marketed for the laboratory are lower volume / higher value products and have been cloned and expressed (usually) in Escherichia coli. This review examines the characterization and application of thermophilic enzymes for several activities that have been identified and (usually) produced in recombinant bacteria. DNA polymerases, glycosyl hydrolases, lipases and proteases from extreme thermophiles are described and evaluated for their potential and actual applications in biotechnology. Some of the barriers to widespread industrial acceptance are described. Emphasis is placed on a number of examples illustrated by the anaerobic extreme thermophiles Caldicellulosiruptor sp. and Dictyoglomus sp. with which the authors are familiar. A number of attractive enzymes are not scalable economically in Escherichia coli or the organism from which the gene has been isolated is an obligate anaerobe and enzyme yields from the native organism are low. Consequently, attention has turned to commonly used 'cell factories' to provide suitable yields of enzymes used as bulk chemicals. These 'factories' are usually fungi such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Trichoderma reesei or bacteria such as Bacillus sp. A number of challenges, such as codon usage incompatibility, must be overcome to achieve economic yields.

I'm not sure what the specifics are of each state, but I suggest to keep the lemon law in mind! For those who haven't heard of lemon law, it's basically when you give the dealership 3 chances to fix the same problem(they have to acknowledge it exists) and they still cannot successfully fix the problem you can actually return the vehicle if it has less than 25K mi(I think) on it. I know some one who actually did it once for rattling of a windshield on a sports car.

text: "Every time I'm interviewed, I'm asked if there's something you could take back from all of the seasons, it's that moment," Evelyn Lozada tearfully told host John Salley at the Basketball Wives reunion. "That moment" would be the wine-bottle throwing incident directed at Kenya Bell. Evelyn explains in the clip above, which is an early sneak from the reunion special airing on June 4, that she's not proud of that moment. "Not too long ago," she says, "I was driving with my step-daughters in the car, and they watched that scene and they think it's funny. But it's not funny, and I need to be a better example." The reunion will air in two parts, on Monday June 4 and June 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

I understand this.
I think it all comes back to what Prost said where too many people operate within the grey area's of martial arts, exploiting the ignorance of the general public. Teaching them nonesense and passing it off as realistic training.
Alot of people, parants especially who are looking to get their children involved in martial arts do not know better. They think Bruce Lee was the greatest fighter that ever lived and that Jackie Chan is an un beatable Grand Master who could beat Mike Tyson.
They do not have the ability to spot bullshit martial arts techniques and inneffective training methods. They cannot see why combat athletes in full contact styles are the best at what they do and that sparring is essential.
Hopefully they will discover Bullshido.com.
Hopefully this site will spread the word around.Hannibal: The sworn enemy of dishonest politicians, source of entertainment on Bullshido and newly appointed Office Linebacker. Terry Tait ain't got **** on me !!!!

iBeacons being deployed at 2 MLB parks... but how should they be used?
Major League Baseball has finished the installation of iBeacons at two ballparks. Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium and San Diego's Petco Park are two of a planned twenty baseball stadiums to be outfitted with the technology. iBeacons will be used to send content to baseball fans with the MLB.com At the Ballpark app, with coupons, videos, and more appearing during the MLB's iBeacon trial at Citi Field. Each team and ballpark can choose to deliver different content, according to Recode:
"Thirty clubs gives us the opportunity to work with clubs to customize based on their fans," Adam Ritter, senior vice president of wireless MLB Advanced Media, said in an interview.
How would you like to see iBeacons used? Let us know below in the comments.

iBeacons being deployed at 2 MLB parks... but how should they be used?
There are so many possibilities. The iBeacons could have seat locations from input tickets and open Maps to direct the user to their seats. It could send video to the device if the user is sitting in nose bleed seats. So it's like having the jumbotron in your lap.

9to5Mac is asking a similar question. Why not send a alert when I walk past the team merchandise store with specials ("mention THIS ad and get 15% off merchandise")? I bet that draws more revenue. What about contests ( text "TIX" to 55555 to win a pair of tickets)? Player stats sent when they come up to bat.
Care needs to be taken though. The more fans look at their phones, the less they watch the game. It can be overdone if the teams aren't careful.
As a blind user, I would want detailed directions to pretty much everywhere. I would needed to tell me what landmarks to look for with my cane, and exactly what I need to do to gett to my seat.

A superb days hill walk from Great Langdale is to do a horseshoe type route up some of the best hills in the Lake District. This walk can be lengthened or shortened depending on your mood, and can add a little scramble if you wish, or you can walk around it on relatively easy ground with very well trodden and defined paths.
We usually start from our favourite base in Elterwater which is a quiet village with one pub yet easy access to a village store in Chapel Stile (the next village) and at the head of the Little and Great Langdale valleys. There are numerous walker friendly holiday cottages in the village superbly equipped and a fantastic base for these walks, scrambles and climbs. Grasmere is a short walk away for the famous Gingerbread too for families with little ones.
For the Adventurous, either walk from Elterwater or drive the minutes up the Langdale road and park at the overflow car park at the Old dungeon Ghyll hotel run by the National Trust.
Even on busy Bank Holidays there is usually parking albeit expensive at ?6 per day at May 2012. If you want, you may be able to find a pull in area off the side of the road but you can get a ticket even on a Bank Holiday!
At the car park cash and flash from the machine and walk across the road, over the small bridge over the beck and head west towards Oxendale on the large and wide track.
You will walk through a farm with clear footpath signs, bear left. At the footbridge the path forks left or goes straight on. Take the left fork across the beck and looking up you will see the route between Pike O' Blisco on your left and in front, and Great Knott in front and to the right. The path runs between the two on the true right bank (left side as you look from the bottom).
It is an easy climb as the path has been stoned to avoid erosion and a steady slog will take you up to the saddle near Red Tarn. As it levels there is a clear left and right for the path.
If you want to bag Pike o' Blisco turn left and do an up and down (40 mins if you are reasonably fit). The view from the top is fantastic of the Great Langdale valley and well worth it, probably one of the nicest panoramas. There are two cairns on the tops about 50m apart. The one on your left as you climb is the real top.
If you do not fancy Pike o' Blisco simply turn right heading towards the back of Great Knott under the summit and round to Crinkle Crags and one of the best tops in the Lakes.
As you approach Crinkle Crags on the well marked path you will dip into an obvious saddle. Looking up the path splits to the left which contours around the first of the 5 tops of Crinkle Crags. Where the path bears right you will notice it seems to stop at the bottom of a small crag in a v shaped nick. This is known as the bad step and is a grade one scramble and relatively easy being exposed for 20-25 metres or so. Whilst it is a notorious accident spot for Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue to attend, it does not present a challenge to most experienced hill walkers. Take a look from close up at the bottom and there are obvious well worn easy steps. But if you do not fancy it, simply walk around the summit contouring on the very well marked path.
Over the bad step you are on the main top of Crinkle Crags and the views of Great Langdale are superb. From here you can walk towards the saddle at the bottom of Bow Fell and walk down the Band back to valley bottom where you started on a well defined and relatively easy path which can be a bit rocky and wet but is a grand route off. Those of you with energy left can bag Bow Fell and take a look across at the magnificent Sca Fell and Sca Fell Pike across from Bow Fell, which on a clear day is absolutely breathtaking.
The route up and down Bow Fell back to where you join the band is rocky but well marked and another 45 minute extension to the day. From the summit of Bow Fell you can of course continue on to Esk Hause and down past Angle Tarn to the valley, but if you have had enough at the top of Bow Fell simply retrace your steps down to the start of the Band and turn left down to the Old Dungeon Ghyll pub for a well earned pint. In bad visibility take note that in the area around Ore Gap and Bow Fell, metal ore in the
ground can distort compass readings
People do get lost and on bad days care is required in navigation, but the paths are extremely well worn and defined, you just need to choose the right one of the many!
Give a thought to Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue team who are a charity and volunteers, if you see their boxes put some coins in to appreciate the fact that if your hill walk up Crinkle Crags goes wrong, they are always there for you. For advice on Hill walking before venturing our if you are inexperienced please visit the British Mountaineering Council's website and the Mountain Rescue of England and Wales website for advice and guidance. Enjoy the magnificence of Great Langdale in all its glory!

A core aim of the society is to encourage participation in the collection of these wonderful sounds, and to promote the need to understand their meanings.
Through its members, the Society fosters developing recording skills and techniques as well as promoting the study of bioacoustics. Members of WSRS benefit from learning about how to go about recording wildlife sounds, where to go, what equipment to use, what to do with the sounds that have been captured, as well as being alerted to some of the pit-falls to avoid.
New to wildlife sound recording? Take a look at our newcomer's guide to find out what you need to get started at a modest cost.
When you have reviewed the website, we hope that you will see the many benefits of joining WSRS so that you can develop your interest into a hugely fulfilling pastime. Why not join with the rest of us in capturing and listening to the sounds of nature to experience and learn more about the spectacular natural world about us.
We look forward to meeting with you all.
The Society is proud and honoured to welcome the acclaimed wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson as its President. Chris is well-known across the world for his recordings which have featured in many natural history programmes on radio and television including the BBC's series 'Frozen Planet' with David Attenborough which won a BAFTA Award for 'Best Factual Sound' (2012). http://www.chriswatson.net
WSRS Members Day and Annual General Meeting 2014
The WSRS AGM and Members' Day 2014 was a resounding success. Not only was there a packed audience for the event but also it was a delight and an honour to welcome acclaimed wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson as WSRS's incoming president. He is the latest in an illustrious line of presidents leading back to that famous pioneer of wildlife sound recording Ludvig Koch. Chris gave an illuminating and fascinating talk on his adventures in the Antarctic with the focus on natural sounds delivered in Surround Sound. WSRS is a truly global society clearly demonstrated by members travelling from as far away as Australia, Germany and Italy just to be at the meeting. One of the attractions of Members' Day is that it is not just about attending the meeting, it is far more about sharing experience and expertise in a welcoming and friendly society populated by enthusiasts.
WSRS is immensely grateful to its competition sponsors Sound Network and Wildlife Watching Supplies for their generous support. The entrants recordings were as always of an exceptionally high standard and posed a significant challenge for the judges in selecting the winning entries.
Click here for the Silver Fox winner press release. Click here to read the Reserved Competition press release.
The Natural History Museum invited WSRS to take part in their Big Nature Day. This was a great opportunity for WSRS to network with the public and organisations involved in many aspects of wildlife conservation. Despite the soaring temperatures, there was a constant flow of young families and wildlife enthusiasts through the exhibition stalls, with a total of over 4000 people visiting the event. Children in particular were keen to listen to our recordings, with insect and underwater sounds being the biggest hits.
Many people take sound for granted and it is a poor relation to film and video, hopefully through this event and other outreach activities, such as a presence at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust events at the London Wetlands Centre, WSRS is starting to redress the balance.
Spring field meeting, May 2014, Lundy Island
WSRS recordists gathered in Ilfracombe in early-May to embark on a ferryboat journey to the island on Lundy in the Bristol Channel for the WSRS annual spring field meeting - this year extend to span an entire week.
The weather was sunny but with a wind to challenge the best of mic windshields. Evenso, good sound recordings were made of the island's wildlife including Manx Shearwater, Sika Deer, Grey Seals, Pygmy Shrew, House Sparrows and various gulls.
The warm welcoming nature of the society ensured that newer and established recordists shared information freely on recording hot-spots, equipment and recording tips
The annual Wildlife Sound Recording Society Competition is in receipt
of generous sponsorship from Sound
Network The Sound Network Prize goes to the best recording in the competition.
In 2014 the prize was won by Tony Baylis for his superb Montekeleary Creek recording. To listen to the recording click here.

Band camp combines fun, learning
Teenagers to play at 5 p.m. today at A&M-CC venue
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi University President Flavius Killebrew closed his eyes and held his trumpet tight as the music of nine trumpet players from the fifth annual Islander Band Camp filled a classroom Thursday.
The middle school and high school players ages 13 to 16 listened as Killebrew spoke about his experiences in band camp.
"This camp is very important for a lot of different reasons," Killebrew said. "Some of the students come from small communities. This exposes them to different teachers with different thoughts."
This year drew 70 students to the camp, which included group lessons, sectionals, full ensemble rehearsals, rudimentary music theory, afternoon activities and recitals. Activities expanded this year to include games for the students to get to know one another, a trip to the beach, a faculty recital and a talent show.
Those additional activities were a plus for Gregory-Portland student Casper Rios, 14, who has attended the camp for the past three years.
"It's been fun, work, fun, work, fun, work," Rios said. "We still learned as much but we had more fun."
The five-day band camp ends today with a free concert beginning at 5 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center.

Student Profiles written by Crystalyn Lemieux - Spring 2014
" I hope to gain knowledge about all Alaska Native cultures and to spread it like wild fire,"
-Mary Lee Sherbick
Mary Lee Sherbick's family is from Twin Hills, Alaska. After receiving the University of Alaska Sea-wolf Opportunity Scholarship (S.O.S.) she chose to attend the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). Being familiar with the UAA campus after she participated in the summer bridge program with the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) made it easier for Mary to choose UAA. Many of her peers left the state and came back, so it become evident that staying in state was a beneficial choice for her.
Mary decided that the Alaska Native Studies minor with an emphasis in Yup'ik language provides the opportunity to learn about Alaska Native languages and history. Growing up in Anchorage she didn't have the opportunity to learn Yup'ik in school. Other languages were taught in her school and she wasn't able to take Yup'ik language until she came to UAA.
With the knowledge Ms. Sherbick gains from the Alaska Native Studies minor she hopes to share Alaska Native history with everyone. Many people believe that to be truly informed on topics that influence the lives of Alaska Native people there needs to be a foundation of knowledge from Alaska Native history. Mary hopes that people know and remember what Alaska Native people had to go through to get where they are now so they know how to protect their rights in the future.
Mary is looking forward to using her Alaska Native Studies minor along with her future bachelor's degree in Psychology to serve Alaskans by using Alaska Native values and knowledge. Some of her goals are to work with rural committees to form prevention programs and increase retention rates for substance abuse treatment programs. Mary feels that substance abuse is very preventable and she hopes to work with communities to support cultural and traditional methods for prevention and substance abuse treatment programs.
"The Alaska Native Studies Minor not only dealt with educating students about Native History, but also focused on saving and preserving its heritage."
- Jonathan Butler
Jonathan chose to finish his bachelor's degree in Justice at the University of Alaska Anchorage when he heard that they offered a great program here. He realized that he wanted to learn more about Alaska Native history since he had been here for 13 years.
Jonathan saw that the Alaska Natives Studies program offered courses that put an emphasis on Alaska Native heritage and were taught by Alaska Native instructors. This allowed him to learn more about an Alaskan Native perspective on historical events from instructors who may have had firsthand experience with the historical events. He saw that these courses taught students about history, but they also are about preserving and saving the culture. Jonathan felt that it would be exciting to learn more about the culture and seeing these efforts helped him make the decision to add the Alaska Native Studies minor.
Mr. Butler hopes to use his Alaska Native Studies minor to gain more awareness and appreciation for the diversity in Alaska Native history and cultures. He hopes to be able to use his knowledge to recognize the differences throughout the regions that include various tribes and cultures in Alaska. Jonathan also wants to use his minor to create ways for the Anchorage Police Department to promote relationships with people who are Alaska Native.
He has seen that there may be barriers that could prevent relationships from being built, because there may be a lack of understanding of what has happened historically. Having learned about Alaskan Native history he feels that this could be the first step towards creating the opportunity to develop those relationships. Jonathan believes that sharing the value of acknowledging and knowing that it is important to restore and sustain Alaska Native cultures is a way to start those relationships with the Alaskan Native community.
Jonathan's future career involves developing sustainable relationships with the Alaska Native community through the Alaska Anchorage Police Department. He hopes there will be an opportunity for each other to communicate and for the Anchorage Police Department to establish partnerships with Alaska Native organizations. Jonathan has already built a relationship with South Central Foundation and hopes to work with them in future.
"We are all elders in training." - unknown
Audrey Leary
Audrey Leary is a UAA student who chose to be close to home, but far enough to grow. She's decided that she is still here, because she loves the campus, people, Alaska Native Studies (AKNS), Native Student Services, and Native Student Council. When she took the Alaska Native Studies classes she noticed that she continued to network with other students who are interested in learning about Alaska Native cultures.
Audrey believes that the knowledge of our cultures is never ending and there is always something to be learned about herself in Alaska Native Studies courses. She wants to give back to her people and the more knowledge she has the more she can give back to Alaska Native peoples. Ms. Leary wants to give back by being a teacher in rural Alaska. As a teacher she will be able to form her lesson plans around cultural topics that she learned through AKNS courses. Including cultural lessons as a teacher will allow Audrey to stay connected to Alaskan Native culture and to connect with her future students in rural Alaska.
Audrey is currently pursuing her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and she plans to get a master's degree in Education Leadership. Her goal is to become a principal in rural Alaska and to achieve her goals she has to obtain a master's degree.
"It allows you to leave the shame behind when you learn who our people really are from an Alaskan Native perspective."
-Kyle Worl
University of Alaska Anchorage student, Kyle Worl is studying Anthropology and earning his minor in Alaska Native Studies. After his parents convinced him to stay in state until he decided on a major he pursued his interest in learning about Alaska Native culture. At first Kyle did not realize that staying in Anchorage would allow him to become grounded in the Anchorage and Alaska Native community. The Alaska Native Heritage Center began to stir his interests in who he is and where he came from by teaching him about his ancestors.
The Alaska Native Studies courses he took instilled in him a respect for the Alaska Native people, land, and history. Kyle feels that learning about your culture and the history of your people becomes more than educational; it allows us to learn about lost traditions and historical events that affected Alaska Native people. The Alaska Native Studies minor supports his future career as an anthropologist, because it allows him to move forward by being grounded in history. Kyle believes that to help people in need the first step is to be educated about the history of the people to fully understand political, educational, and social issues.
Mr. Worl feels that the Alaska Native Studies minor allows people to gain a new perspective on Alaska Native culture and people, because it is taught through an Alaskan Native perspective in a respectful manner of all cultures. Kyle considers these insights to history may also tie into other cultures or Indigenous groups, because of the many similarities in traditions, values, or historical events. He also mentioned that even though indigenous groups may be divided geographically the ability to work together is reinforced through cultural ties. Through these cultural ties Kyle hopes to increase the language revitalization movement by sharing or teaching through language circles to people from all backgrounds. He is passionate about Native languages, because within a language is culture, traditions, and history. It is the core of a culture; it is a foundation of who Kyle Worl is as an Alaskan Native. He says it has become a personal concern as well as a community issue.

Below is the poem entitled HOSTILE HEAD TAKEOVER PART 2 which was written by poet
hendricks. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Delysia Hendricks
A din ensued
my imaginary brood
with a good dose of misapprehension
hauled out their toys
and with a deafening noise
held band practice to demand my attention
My head resounded
I was astounded
as my voices insisted space be freed
then took up position
for a spit competition
unless their demand I would heed
"Spit all you may
I refuse to be swayed
back to your cupboard, skeleton folk
all was well hitherto
with my self-made crew
till my head friends you chose to provoke."
"Dear host, you're unfeeling
to your good sense we're appealing
repeal the bones' non grata status
or your imaginary crew
will hold a coup
assisted by our posse comitatus."
"Skeletons and friends
your logic transcends
admittedly you've much courage and clout
I'll have to engage
with our very own sage
the inimitable Shadow of Doubt.
"After due consultation
and much deliberation
Shadow and I decision had reached
you may rant; you may rave
do the Mexican wave
yet still be punished for my rules you have breached.
"The imagineries and Hubbard
to inhabit the cupboard
access to my head is forever denied
you skeletons will hoard
keep my secrets well-stored
in my head where you henceforth will reside."
There's no happy ever after
my world is now dafter
cramped, the skeletons keep knotting their chains
with more space at hand
my imaginary band
multiplied. I'm now doubly insane

Super Street Fighter IV Review
Played on:
With the runaway success of Capcoms fighting game revival Street Fighter IV, it seemed reasonable to expect a follow-up. But those who remember the run of Street Fighter II follow-ups in the 90s probably were a little wary about an enhanced version; were we going to see a slight speed-up of gameplay, a bit of a re-balance to tone down the most powerful characters, and maybe a couple of new fighters?
Luckily, we got all that along with plenty of fan-favorite characters from the grand-daddy of fighting games. Super Street Fighter IV comes in at a $40 price tag and includes all of the content of the original game, ten new characters on top of the original games 25, two ultra combos and three costumes for every character, the return of classic bonus stages, and a more involved online mode with new ways to play.
The new characters are the big highlight: Ibuki, Makoto, and Dudley have been brought over from Street Fighter III in full 3D glory, Cody, Guy, and Adon return after last being seen in the Alpha series, T.Hawk and Dee Jay round out the full Street Fighter II-era roster, and two new characters are in. First, Juri is a Tae Kwon Do fighter from Korea that uses a jewel in her eye to manipulate time, while the Turkish wrestler Hakan uses barrels of oil make himself slippery in many of his moves. All 35 characters are unlocked right from the beginning, so there's no need to sit there playing the arcade mode if you just want to start learning your favorite characters.
The quality of the new characters is top-notch, too, with new anime cutscenes for all of them along with some of the ridiculous stuff you'll expect. Not only are the fighters put in some intensely amusing positions when they're the victims of the nastier moves, but they've all got that touch of silliness in Street Fighter IV that has proven to be so unique and fun. Dudley keeps his huge boxing gloves on, even when he's drinking from a tiny teacup, and Hakan's insanely strange moves will keep people laughing. I don't know if Capcom will continue to keep the comedy going in their upcoming fighting games, but personally, I welcome anything that brings us videos like this one.
But let's get back to some nuts and bolts. A major rebalancing has been done for SSFIV - Sagat and other stronger characters have had many moves scaled back a bit while weaker characters like Guile have gotten a boost. Capcom has never been the type to overdo the balance changes, though, so they usually err on the side of leaving it as it is (even if the tiers of characters wind up not changing much). Thats the case here, too, as Sagat is still quite strong - but just not quite as much as before. Its hard to tell right now how good every character is yet and whether the tiers have been upended, but it doesnt seem like theres anything too bad here.
All of the original mechanics are here. Specials, Focus attacks, EX moves, and supers and ultras are all here, and the basic way they work is all the same as you probably remember. The game's accessibility is still here, although it's still tough to get through the game's challenge modes in that there may be a non-obvious trick in timing that's required to link one move in a combo to the next. Still, those challenge modes to bring new players into at least the amateur stages of putting together big combos, and learning from great players is only going to be easier with the new replay system - more on that later.
The games been sped up just a bit, too, something that many vocal fighting fans have been asking for (even if I dont agree that a faster game is necessarily good for the average player). Toss in new Ultra combos for the original characters that give you a choice between two for every character - and which must be chosen during character selection - and youve got an interesting new tactical decision to make based on the fighter your opponent chooses. In almost all cases, both of a characters ultra combos work entirely differently, so its a serious decision youll have to make and could be the difference between a win and a loss.
What some players are looking forward to the most, though, is the new online setup that lets players jump into some slightly revamped Ranked and Player matches along with several new modes. Team battles let teams of 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 go against each other - although its still just 1v1 at a time. Endless Battle simulates the old days of winner-stays arcade battles by allowing up to eight players to spectate a match and wait for their turn to take on the winner. Tournament mode is scheduled for a June 15th release for 4 or 8 players, and that can allow easy setups for online leagues and such. A new replay system allows you to browse fight replays by players with lots of Battle Points and watch their fights in slow motion along with controller input and damage numbers if you're interested. You can watch your previous fights, too, if you're interested in improving your game. Championship Mode has been gone, but most players seem to agree that Team and Endless modes are better anyway.
The point system for Ranked play has changed to foster more experimentation with new characters in online play without ruining your Battle Points for any one given fighter. Capcom has added Player points that measure your overall performance, and Battle Points have been separated out work on a per-character basis. There are leaderboards for both separately now, too. Finally, one important little tweak has been included, which is better matchmaking to prioritize ping and keep your matches at a lower latency. Those looking for better netcode or the integration of Capcoms much-hyped GGPO system will have to keep waiting, but that one slight change should ensure that better matchups happen more often.
Capcom has really pulled out the stops in integrating plenty of changes along with lots of new content for Super Street Fighter IV. From the 10 new fighters to the re-balance between all 35, from the online changes to the added strategy of having two ultra combos to choose from, its a great new version of what was already a fantastic game. I know that some gamers that dont have extra cash to spend on this might feel a little annoyed that the new content couldnt be set up as a $20 DLC for the original game - and frustrated that SSFIV probably makes the original game essentially obsolete for online play - but no one should be surprised. Still, Capcom did bring in this improved version at a significant discount, and its hard to argue that this enhanced version is anything but a huge addition to an already fantastic experience. It's not a fighting revolution, but it wasn't billed as one either. If you're a huge fan of SFIV and would like to see more, this one's a must-have.

A short vehicle pursuit in the City of Georgetown ended with the arrest of 29-year-old Jerrod Trappier late Thursday night.
According to the Georgetown County Sheriffs Office, deputies were sent to Pickens Street in Kensington after receiving a report of a suspicious person walking through peoples yards in that area.
A car matching the description deputies were given was spotted at a stop sign. Deputies attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle which failed to comply, said Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson.
While initiating the traffic stop, the suspect tossed something out the window. The vehicle led deputies on a pursuit from Summit Avenue through the Georgetown City Limits before the suspect abandoned the vehicle on Sorrel Street. After sheriffs deputies safely placed the vehicle in park, they searched the area for the suspect with negative results, Cuthbertson said. An inventory of the vehicle produced items belonging to the suspect as well as the owners information. Deputies went to the owners address and overheard a conversation between three males. The individuals were discussing the incident involving fleeing from deputies.
After covering all entrances and exits to the home, deputies knocked on the door and requested identification from all present. When confronted with the overheard information, Jerrod Trappier admitted being the driver of the vehicle, Cuthbertson added.
Trappier was charged with Failure to Stop for Blue Lights, Driving Under Suspension and Possession of Marijuana. Trappier was transported to the Georgetown County Detention Center where he is awaiting a bond hearing.

Registering a business for a disabled veteran
by jjmzas, Window Shopper
- Created: December 10, 2010, 7:08 am
My husband and I are starting a business, and would be grateful for any info on how we need to go about it. He is a disabled veteran. Because of this we need register a business with 51% him, and 49% myself, should that be a partnership or a company.
BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 12/14/2010 - 8:13 am
You may want to talk with your attorney about the best business entity type for your situation. If you file as an LLC or a corporation, you will need an attorney to prepare an operating agreement or articles of incorporation. If you file as a partnership, an attorney will need to create a partnership agreement. If you decide to be a sole proprietorship, only one of you can own the business, so that may not be the best choice for your situation. By getting your attorney involved at this stage, you will be certain that you make the best choice for your needs.

Hello there, No matter what business you planing to start you should consider LLC as a form. This in fact will limit your responsibility and is really important. I wish you good luck.

1 (10 ounce) package
broad egg noodles, cooked, rinsed, drained (Kosher for Passover)
1 pound
ground beef
3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
5 medium
potatoes, cubed
1 medium
onion, minced
1 (10 ounce) can
tomato sauce
16 ounces
processed cheese, cubed
We just finished eating this recipe! It turned out very well here. We did make a few substitutions simply due to a lack of the exact ingredigents. We used ground turkey instead of ground beef. Plus, at the last minute, we noticed that we were out of onions! So, we just nixed that ingredient. Everything turned out great nevertheless. We did spice things up with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I can see how this might be a bit bland otherwise. But, overall, a nice piece of comfort food perfect for a chilly autumn night!
This was ok. The potatoes never did reaily get fully cooked. The taste was kinda bland. I had to add more seasoning. My husband and 16 month old daughter liked it. Next time "IF" I make it I will cook the potatoes before adding them.

My whole family liked this recipe very much. I am definently going to make this one agian.
this was ok, but not nearly as good as I expected.
I made this recipe last night but I tweaked it a little bit. Instead of ground beef I used ground turkey and put garlic powder, chili powder, kosher salt to season it. I didn't put onion in it either. This was AMAZING! My husband had 4 bowls of it! Thank you for sharing this recipe, it was easy to make and I have leftovers to feed an army. LOL
It was pretty good. I did add salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little celery salt. I also added beef broth, because I thought it needed some moisture. I think it took a long time to prepare. It made way too much for my family of 5. It made a lot of dirty dishes too!
It was good. Something different. Not too much to change on this one.
Very bland... I originally thought "potatoes and noodles?" and I was right ... way too heavy/starchy. Had to keep adding water too. Has potential, but needs some major adjustments.
