Easy Prosthetic Ear Tutorial by celticruinsdesigns.
Anna Cosplay Refs and Help!
A green, black and pale green(s) bodice dress. It's a sleeveless dress with the straps being green with paler green lace. The skirt seems to be a box pleat? skirt in several shades of green with embroidery. The bodice is black bordered in gold.
Worn beneath is a white petticoat and tights. The shoes are black slippers but i haven't found refs for it's designs. Worn with a lotus gold pendant on black ribbon. Before she changes her outfit, she wears a green cape with embroidery around the neck and with a pale blue bow.

Embroidery Help: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Buy: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Another bodice dress, but i'm unsure of the skirt style. The bodice is extremely similiar in design, differing only in embroidery. It's worn over a manderin collared shirt in pale blue. A petticoat is worn under this dress as well as long white bloomers. Probably thick socks or something as well.
(idk what you wear in the cold, im australian)
The boots resemble gumboots in their design and material. It's has a gold pattern of swirls, the soles are pink/magenta.
Worn over everything is a dark pink/magenta cape in two pieces. It's bordered in darker pink felt? with a matching pompom trim. The cape his a high collar and it's clasped with two silver hearts.

Cloak: 1.
Helpful Sites: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Same outfit, remove the cape, (even though she wears it beneath in the movie it might get too hot. You need moss/grass coloured fabric such as felt or velvet or even artifical grass. I've only seen the one cosplay and I still don't know how they did it. If it;s a fabric , fabric paint might work in darking or lightening the colour.
Around the neck and collar are purple the pink gemstones of various shapes and sizes. They match the ones on the headdress. You can buy gemstones in stands, you want something light, so if you can create molds that would be perfect, otherwise idk.
Artifical plant leaves would work well for the headdress.
Gemstones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Fabric Ideas: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Matches the winter dress in basic design. The pale green/grey bodice has straps and the whole thing is bordered in light green. It has military like straps across the chest. It's worn over a white/cream high collared top bordered in pale blue. It has hearts as it's clasped like the winter coat.
The skirt is a darker green with embroidery around the hem. She wears white tights, a petticoat and high heeled boots.

I'm sure I've forgotten something, but this is the best I can do right now. If theres anything missing or you need to know more let me know.
This document is a compare and contrast sheet that shows the prices used by CosplaySupplies.com on the cost of their thermoplastics - Wonderflex, Worbla, and Fosshape.
It totals up the area of the sheets sold, as well as gives you cost per inch depending on price. By narrowing it down by cost per inch, you can really compare what is the better 'deal' for what you're looking for, or wanting to bulk up on.
This is by most recent prices, updated- uh- today.
(PS: Wonderflex World is almost half the cost per yard for Wonderflex and both sizes of Fosshape)
(PSS: I like excel sheets)

DBSK's evolution 5/?
Yunho always wanted to be a singer, even if it meant going against the wishes of his father (I must say it was very difficult for him to follow his dream of being a singer without the support of his family - there's lots of history to dig in this point, 'll talk about that some other time). Being one of the best dancers from South Korea, some people think that he is in TVXQ only for his amazing dancing skills, but that is to underestimate all his talent, and I can't forgive that. You know the story behind his scar on his neck? This is from surgery to remove something growing on his vocal cords. They said that his voice would never be the same, that his singing career was ruined. But he never gave up, never disappoint his fans. No matter how big the challenge, he continued fighting and follow his dream. Problems with his throat occurred again in 2006 during Tohoshinki's Japan Live Tour Concert. Yunho injected a treatment that actually spread the virus to essentially put his throat in a state of paralysis so he could perform. After the concert he was immediately sent to the hospital and hospitalized for a week. His voice is so soft and wonderful, but he humbly says that his role is to help the bond of TVXQ harmony. Its function is to be the leader and rapper, but his high notes are amazing and he never loses the pitch no matter the note that he sings. I already mentioned that it is one of the best dancers of South Korea, but remember that he sings and dances at the same time .. without losing the pitch! What I think about Jung Yunho? Perfection seems like a fair word.

Hello I am an adult with an anxiety disorder and I lost my comfort item.
My bunny is named Blue Bunny and she is my most important thing in the world. I would go without water sooner than I would give her up. I got her 18 years ago and she hasn't slept without me since. Her ears and paws are threadbare in places, and her head is floppy and soft.
I got off the Amtrak Bus stop in La Cresenta, CA on the north side Honolulu Ave west of Lowell Ave.
Please PLEASE signal boost this. I have contacted the bus company but they haven't found her and I'm scared.
Shit man, the ONE time ill reblog these things. Id be having a fit if I lost Oddball ;n;
Hope you find her soon, OP!
Teddy the Pig, that's all I'mma say. C'mon guys we can help find this bunny.
Signal boost! (The thought of losing Clovis Devilbunny brings me to tears.)
Good Luck finding her Please do contact if you see her (I couldn't live without mine)
The loneliest people are the kindest.
The saddest people smile the brightest.
The most damaged people are the wisest.
All because they don't want to see anyone else suffer the way they do.
this is true

Berwick's resignation a signal of a faulty political system
It came as a surprise to no one that Donald Berwick, MD, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, would not be carrying on in the position once his term ended on Dec. 31, but many were surprised last week when he announced his resignation would be effective on Dec. 2.
[See also: Berwick to step down at CMS, Obama nominates Tavenner .]
While much of the focus now is on Berwick's replacement – the Obama administration is nominating Marilyn Tavenner, a nurse who is the principal deputy and chief operating officer at CMS and has already served as CMS' acting administrator prior to Berwick's appointment – some in the industry are reflecting on Berwick's departure and the larger issues it signifies: a political system that is too polarized to be effective.
Berwick's resignation – and the opposition he faced in Congress – is an example of the shallowness of our political system said John Chessare, MD, president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. "He gave the American people a gift," said Chessare, who calls Berwick his mentor. "He accepted President Obama's request to do it (become CMS administrator) and then because of the foolishness and the pettiness of our national political system, he's leaving."
"While I do support his vision for making healthcare more patient centered, focusing on decreasing hospital mistakes and errors and making healthcare more affordable for everyone, I'm more disappointed that he's become a casualty in the political struggle over Obama's signature healthcare reform law," said Andrew Spanswick, MSW, chairman and CEO of KLEAN, a residential treatment center in West Hollywood, Calif.
The much acknowledged "problem" with Berwick wasn't his qualifications – he spent 30 years at the forefront of healthcare innovation and improvement and is widely admired in the healthcare industry – it was politics. Specifically, old writings expressing an admiration for the British National Health Service, his recess appointment by the president and so-called Obamacare in general.
[See also: Berwick grilled by Senate Finance Committee.]
"The political drama and bureaucratic struggle between the Senate and President Obama almost outshines the real issues that fall on the Administrator of Medicare and Medicaid Services, whose decisions reportedly affect 1 in 3 Americans who enter a hospital for treatment," Spanswick said. "While that's only 33 percent, I think Mr. Berwick's legacy will be centered around someone who embraced technology to better connect the fragmented health system, a battle fought for the 99 percent."

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In addition to actually adding comments and adding Likes to your photographs in Instagram or other people's photographs for that matter, you can also remove comments as well. So let's say you posted a comment to someone's photo and maybe you had a grammar error, you want to delete it, so you can repost it or maybe you actually have somebody who has posted something that's obscene or inflammatory on your profile and you want to get rid of that. Well, it's actually pretty easy to do that, and so I'm going to show you how to do that in this movie. So here is a photo that I have commented on, and I'm just going to go into the comments by tapping Comment. And then if I want to remove the comment, I can just swipe across the comment like so, and I can hit the little Trashcan icon, and then confirm the deletion right there.
It removes that comment and if I go back, you can see the comment is now gone. If I navigate back to my profile, and let's look at some of the photos that I have here. If I want to remove one of the comments from this, I can tap the Comment button, and I can just swipe across any comment I want to remove, and I can then tap the Trashcan icon next to that. And it will say here that I can report a comment for spam or obscenity. So, if this was inflammatory or in any way obscene, I could delete and report for abuse or I could simply delete it.
If I don't want to remove this comment, I can also tap Cancel and it comes right back out like that. So, you have the ability to report other people's comments, probably wouldn't want to report your own comments as being obscene or inflammatory, hopefully you're not doing that to other people. But, in any case, if someone is posting things that you don't like on your Instagram profile, that is how you remove it. Now in addition to doing that on a device, you can also do that on the Web interface as well. So let's say I've navigated to a photo like I have here. If I wish to remove a comment like this one here, I can just simply click the X in the top-right.
And once I do that, the comment is removed. Same thing holds true for this one here that I've posted. If I want to remove that, I just tap right there, and delete that. So that little X is the best way to delete that from the Web as well. So, any time that you want to remove a comment, you have the option to do that either from the mobile device itself or from the website. It's totally up to you. But remember, that when you're dealing with social networks like this, censorship of other people's comments can be met with a bit of a backlash. So you want to be careful when you do that. But certainly, if someone is posting something that you find to be offensive, go ahead and remove that anytime you want, and feel free to report it as obscene as well.
Hopefully, by now, you have a better understanding of how to navigate to the comments on your photos, and other people's photos and also, how to remove them if the need should arise.

Waiter was great. gave us recommendations for wine apptz and main course. celebrated co workers birthday ...... nice time for allSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Plagued with its own successLAR10222013TUESDined on 10/23/2014As popular as Maggiano's is, it seems to be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. There are too many people in the room, tables too close together, too noisy. There's almost a "mass produced" feel to its admittedly delicious food. The waitstaff is heroic, but their task is overwhelming. I made a reservation, but our table was not ready when we arrived. Though our party opted for individual entrees, some popular items (veal parmigian) arrived in a large amount, on a serving platter, as if to feed the entire table. I was pleasantly surprised when Maggiano's allowed us to bring in a small birthday cake, but I didn't realize what a challenge that would present to our already overworked waiter, who was pleasant & attentive but VERY busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy with choice4thetableDined on 10/18/2014Chain that you know what to expect. Good food and drink at a reasonable price for location. Nice atmosphere and service aiming to please.Special Features:
- Family DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014I have eaten at Maggiano's before several years ago, but I do not think I will ever return. The food was way overpriced for the quality that was served. I would have been better off taking my family to Olive Garden. I was looking for a fine center city dining experience as a treat for my family and the food was mediocre. The cost was $250 for two adults, 1 teen, 1 child and only 1 glass of wine. The marinara sauce was over-seasoned, the meatballs were mushy, the seafood entree was supposed to be a mix of seafoods, but was really just a bunch of mussells. I did not feel that the flavors were fresh, vibrant, or original. It was all just so-so. Our waiter was very nice, but the other staff was sloppy and rude.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/16/2014one word Wonderful the food was good and plentiful,my friends and l had a great nite of eating and drinking!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef Steve was amazingAmazingDined on 10/16/2014He came to our table and customized the menu for my liking and make combination of medallions and Gnocchi Del Mar that was fantastic and reasonably priced.Special Features:
- Not impressedTellingItLikeItIsDined on 10/15/2014Service veri inattentive. I had empty water glass for mor than half the meal - waitstaff race by, moving faster than a brisk walk, not settling or conducive to a relaxed meal. Managers there walked by as well, conveniently avoiding eye contact or asking the patrons how their meals and service was, it seemed to me. Waiter seemed to want to rush us through - no elaboration on the menu, house specialties, etc. The only salad dressing options were house dressing (vinaigrette) or Caesar dressing. Salad was too finely chopped (ended up eating mine with a spoon!). Definitely would not go back.
- WeekendDined on 10/11/2014Slight problem, as they seated part of my party in one room and then seated me in another room, and we spent about twenty minutes waiting for each other even though we were both at the restaurant and had checked in under the same reservation. Otherwise a very nice meal. Our servers were great.Special Features:
- Good Italian foodDoc255VIPDined on 10/10/2014Nothing fancy- but good Italian food at a reasonable price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- inviting and quaintsuzieqDined on 10/10/2014Had a wonderful evening, food was great as was the service. Waiter was prompt, yet let us enjoy our meal without hovering. Staff was friendly and accommodating. A comfortable and quaint dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/8/2014We had dinner here on Tuesday and it was delicious. Great portions cool drinks and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing SpecialGeminiVIPDined on 10/5/2014Hmm..I'm usually nuts for Maggiano's but this was my first time at the one in Philly and I was underwhelmed. First off, the first table they tried to sit us at wobbled so bad we had to move. Our server seemed like he was being short with us and kept saying thank you and cutting us off when talking it. But he said it in this curt very I'm done with you way. He was also slow and didn't check on us. The food wasn't great wasn't bad. It was okay. The lighter fit menu had no vegetarian options. And my nonna dessert was slightly burnt. I don't why if I'll be back.Special Features:
- Simply AmazingsftbakdcookieDined on 10/3/2014The food was fantastic. I had the chicken parm with mozzarella and OMG perfection!!!! And I had the best long island ice tea in the world I was pleasantly surprised.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love, love, LOVE Maggiano'sLynnLovesFoodDined on 10/3/2014I've always had a great experience dining at the 12th and Filbert location. Great service and great food is why I can never turn down an opportunity to visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Review for Maggiano's Center CityfoodrusDined on 10/1/2014Waiting staff was great...food came out promptly. We ordered classic family style. I didn't like the fact that the second round of food was cut in half. There were four of us all together and the second round of food only had two items on the plate...making two of us wait for more food. The maggianos in cherry hill was much better and the kept the for coming in abundance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but service was lackingJennVIPDined on 9/27/2014We had a reservation and were sat 10 minutes after our reservation time which was ok. But it then took 10 minutes for the waiter to come by and then 15 minutes to get our sodas. He said he had 2 tables say at the same time but I saw other waiters paying more attention to their tables. I've been to other Maggiano's and never had this issue and I actually never say anythjng but it was definitely disappointing and not that great of an experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NJ JoeJosephDined on 9/27/2014They sat us right on time with our reservations. Food was excellent. Service by Dominic was superb. Servers did try to crowd the table by not clearing the dishes before placing our next course on the table. They did remove the used dishes when we asked them. We plan to go again next month. Parking was convenient but don't forget to get your parking ticket validated.Special Features:

Absolutely love to dine here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Probably just a bad nightDonnaVIPDined on 9/20/2014I had always wanted to try Maggiano's since my husband and daughter had raved about the one in DC. I was in Philadelphia for the Rock n Roll half marathon and figured it would be a good spot for a pre-race pasta dinner with friends. Turned out the restaurant was packed with others who had the same idea. The service was poor. After a really long time the three pasta dishes came out without the vegetables. The pasta was undercooked in parts and lukewarm and they forgot the vegetables. I asked to have my dish warmed and was told the restaurant does not own a microwave. Our waitor told us we would have to 15 minutes for the vegetables. I would try a different Maggiano's again, but not this location.
- Philly Rock n Roll HalfRunnerEdDined on 9/20/2014Was in town for the Philadelphia Rock n Roll Half Marathon and ate dinner here the night before. Reservations were a definite must.

"Delivered at the earliest date promised. Shirts were as described. Fair pricing. Not the fastest shipping around but it was free so shouldn't complain. Will order from NyLingerie again. "
"I love your products and items would you please rush me a catalog - I need to re-order a supply of under garments.
satisfied customer"
"I bought two compression shirts (gray and white). Both shirts were shipped without protective bags and placed directly inside shipping bag. As a result, white shirts had stains and I had to request for replacement. Replacement shirt still didn't have any protective bag and had similar issues. NYlingerie sent me a free shirt to compensate for this, but it made me feel I'm not sure if I can place any expensive merchandise in the future.
"The product I ordered was great. It just seems to take a while for NY Lingerie to ship the item. I ordered an item on 6-19 and was alerted that it was shipped on 6-26. So it took ten days just to put it in the mail. Then, of course, it takes a while for the item to reach my home in OR from NY. I did order from them again on 7-31 and was alerted to them shipping the item on 8-7. Again, 8 days to put the item in the mail. I recommend ordering from NY Lingerie if you are not in a hurry to receive the item. "
nylingerie, Nylingerie.com rep has responded
"Dear Valued Customer,
We appreciate your feedback, and we apologize for the delay. NY Lingerie is constantly improving. To better serve our customers we have upgraded our shipping process. Please be advised that as of September 01, 2013, NY Lingerie ships all orders by the next business day.We are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused and hope to hear more positive feedback from you in the future.

NYLingerie Customer service supervisor"
"I ordered two bras on line and I received them in just days. I am extremely satisfied with the product I ordered and I found a great savings in ordering them on line. Thank you for the wonderful service."
"I was looking around for some new Hanes items and at the time, NYLingerie had the best price. I had never ordered from them but I figured I would give them a chance. The order was shipped very quick and was exactly what I did order so I will be ordering from them again in the future."
"Very satisfied with NYlingerie.com! The whole order process easy and
smooth, delivery on time without problems. And the bra was just what
I was hoping for, with a better price for sure! Would definitely
recommend especially for larger folks like me looking for the bras
they like in the size they need. Thanks!"
"Best prices and fast shipping... Couldn't be happier!"
"Fantastic experience. I got a Champion sports bra at a much better price than buying from them direct. The order came promptly and it was the same quality product! I will be buying more!"
"It was the first time ordered an item from N Y L. It was an excellent price, the order arrived in minimum time, and I am most satisfied. I will certainly order again in the near future. "
"No problem with exchanging bras - seemless transaction."
"Overall, this was a normal order process. Seems like the shipping took a while longer than usual. Regarding the product selection, I would really like to see a capability for me to input on the colors I want & not have to take what was sent to me without having a choice. I will use NY Lingerie again. "
"Excellent. I was very pleased to receive the articles ordered in a timely manner. Thank you for great service."
"I am well pleased with NYLingerie. This was my second order from them, and both were filled correctly and in a timely manner. I will do business with them again."
" This is the second time Ive ordered from Nylingerie. The price was half of the Bra in the store. Service was very fast even though I did'nt order express deleivery. I am very happy with this company."

Amid allegations that Penn State University covered up years of sexual abuse by one of its football coaches, Head Coach Joe Paterno will "retire" at the end of this season.
The allegations are that Paterno knew of the abuse of young boys by one of his long time assistants Jerry Sandusky. As Samhita wrote yesterday, the school allegedly knew of the abuse and covered it up for decades. Sandusky worked under Coach Paterno for 44 years.
Paterno is a college football legend. He's been at Penn State for 61 years. It's particularly apparent that the school values their season over the innocent victims of abuse and hence the end of the season "retirement." What does it take to get fired these days?
Coach Paterno released the following statement announcing his "retirement":
I am absolutely devastated by the developments in this case. I grieve for the children and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief.
I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this university and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today.
That's why I have decided to announce my retirement effective at the end of this season. At this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status. They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as easy for them as I possibly can.
This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.
My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this University.
The board has the option to terminate him before the end of the football season. I'm hopeful they will consider this action, because while Paterno reported the abuse to the higher ups at Penn State (who covered it up), he didn't go to law enforcement.
UPDATE: Looks like Penn State President, Graham Spanier, will likely lose his job over this scandal as well. Sources say he'll either resign or be fired by the end of the day.

2007s The Nines
This is such a difficult film to review! Im still unsure If it fits in the category of movies I absolutely love or into the void that is pure garbage! That being said I will say the movie has some amazing moments to walk away with. The movie is presented in a format of 3 separate parts and feels that of a play. Ryan Reynolds & Melissa McCarthy give impressive performances as they are displayed as 3 separate characters in 3 very different realities. I think there is some serious fun to be had trying to uncover the mystery of the Nines. My only real problem with this flick is "Part 2" falls Extremely short in a lot of aspects! I found myself hoping the rest of the movie would not continue at the same pace. Luckily in "Part 3" the movie really finds its voice and to my surprising the science fiction tie in was what I fell in love with in the end. Now this movie is not for everyone! but for those that can open your mind and get past some of the problems I think this movie can be a thought provoking overall enjoyable experience!

Somaliland warns Puntland it will firmly retaliate to any further provocation
HARGEISA(Somalilandpress)–Somaliland's minister of Defence, Ahmad Haji Ali Adami, today released a statement saying that the Somaliland Armed Forces will not and cannot accept the encroachment of sovereignty and criminal behaviour of the Puntland backed militia that yesterday kidnapped and killed members of a Somaliland delegation headed by Salaban Yusuf Ali Koore parliament member, on route to the Somaliland province of Sool. He was quoted as saying, "We are waiting for the response from the administration of Puntland, based in Gerowe, on how they will respond to the killing and kidnapping of our government officials that were headed to their home villages of Taleeh on government work".
The Minister also stated that recently the state administration of Puntland has either directly or indirectly been involved in the deterioration of relations with Somaliland. He also made reference to the recently released tanker carrying fuel to Somaliland that was hijacked by pirates and held for ransom in Puntland waters.
[ad#Google Adsense (336x280)]
During an exclusive phone interview with the Minister, SomalilandPress reporter asked certain questions pertaining to this new development with Puntland. The question put to the Minister was, "is the option of military action possible with regards to this violation of Somaliland sovereignty by a Puntland backed militia?" He then replied "The Armed Forces of Somaliland is here to protect the people of Somaliland anytime and anywhere they are in harm's way, any threat to our people and country will not be tolerated" He also added " Every Action has a reaction, and we are very displeased by the actions of Puntland government. We will let Puntland know about this displeasure. It is our obligation to protect our country and our people and therefore our military will not sit and watch idly…"

Yusef Lateef - Live at Pep's Volume Two
1/17/2009 04:06:00 PM / Comments (5) / by Punda Jazz@u
Thankfully, Impulse had the good sense to complete the entire Live at Pep''s evening by releasing Volume 2 in 1999. Impulse has been notoriously slow to release Yusef Lateef''s material that he recorded for them in the 1960s onto CD (shamefully, only the two Live at Pep''s albums were domestically available in 1999). Volume Two carries on this document of a live Yusef hard bop date in much the same fashion as Volume One. Both are particularly incredible in their recording quality and the performances of each layer. The selections and the energy that is put into each and every song is especially moving, but shines specifically bright on "P-Bouk" and "Yusef''s Mood," — both showcase Yusef''s highly personal and breathy approach to the flute. If you''ve got Volume One, Volume Two is an absolute, unquestionable must-have. - Allmusic.com

The newly merged CVS/ Caremark Corp. is a health care powerhouse with much of its might here in Scottsdale and Phoenix.
CVS/Caremark includes a massive mail-order pharmacy operation, and the nation's largest pharmacy chain. It also is the nation's largest employer of pharmacists and nurse practitioners.
Executives with the company were in the Valley this week and took time to discuss progress made since the merger of Caremark Rx and CVS Corp. was announce last month.
Caremark has a substantial work force in Scottsdale and near the Tempe-Phoenix border.
CVS has more than 110 stores in Arizona.
Half of CVS/Caremark's product development team is based in Scottsdale, said Jack Bruner, executive vice president, marketing.
The local operation will play an important role in the combined company's mission going forward in "both the servicing of members in the telephone centers, and the formulation of strategy, and the development of the products and services that we'll bring to the market," he said.
"As we look at the product development and the marketing, we are expecting to make some additions to the staff," Bruner said.
The company's Scottsdale data center processed 790 million online claims in 2006. Its Phoenix mail service pharmacy fills 210,000 prescriptions a week.
CVS/Caremark is continuing its rollout of Minute-Clinic retail-based health care centers, and now has 170 locations nationally.
"That's going to grow to 600 by the end of the year, and I think we're targeting something like 1,500 for the end of 2008," Bruner said.
CVS/Caremark's mail order and retail pharmacy businesses ranked highly in the newly released J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Retail Pharmacy Satisfaction Study. "Our intent here in the Valley is to leverage what each of the two companies does well and just take our game to the next level," said Lance Adams, senior vice president, customer care services.

MISHAWAKA, Ind. (AP) The city of Mishawaka has agreed to make about $132 million in improvements to its combined sewer system under an agreement with the U.S. attorney and the federal Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate overflows of raw sewage into the St. Joseph River.
U.S. Attorney David Capp said the improvements under the consent decree announced Wednesday will provide major public health and environmental benefits. The city adjacent to South Bend has been discharging about 111 million gallons of raw sewage per year into the river.
The settlement also requires Mishawaka to pay a civil penalty of $28,000.
The cities of Elkhart and South Bend had previously reached similar settlements. Elkhart agreed to make $156 million in improvements, while South Bend agreed to $510 million in upgrades.

Look at Nixon's policy positions, many here would have denounced him as a liberal. Reagan too had his moments that would have not passed the test here as a true conservative. I am saying this as a life long Repub voter. Read history and step back to examine before condemning Repubs, like Christie, as not worthy of the party. We are endanger of shrinking the tent and dooming the party to minority status.

Additional Videos:
In this pig companion mod you will have battle pigs!! Yes I said battle pigs! What I mean by this is a bad piggy that wears a helmet that will fight for you. Pretty sweet right?
There are four different armors that will work on the pigs they are:
- Leather – gives the pig 1.5 times more health than a normal pig
- Iron – gives the pig 3 times more health than a normal pig
- Gold – gives the pig 3 times more health than a normal pig
- Diamond – gives the pig 5 times more health than a normal pig
Steps to make your very own battle pig!
The easiest way to get your piggy companion to fight for you is to first make a coral for your pig. Then spawn them inside the gate or find them and make them follow you with wheat back to your gate. Once you have all of your pig army safely inside the gated area get out the helmets you would like them to wear. Equip the helmet on the pigs by holding the helmet then clicking on the pig. After your pig is wearing its battle helmet there is still another step to take. Get some seeds and feed the pigs seeds, once they eat the seeds they will then be ready to fight for you. Put the piece of wheat in your hand so that they will follow you wherever you may roam and you will have one bad looking piggy army ready to kill for you. And they will ruthlessly attack what ever is coming for you much like a pack of wild dogs. I would seriously be scared of these guys.
There is something that your piggies will not attack and that is a creeper. They are smart enough to not want to be turned into bacon by a creeper so they will just walk right by him. They will also not run into lave to attack a ghast. But all other mobs, it's on! So grab your special piggy helmet, suit up, and sit back to let your piggy's do their worst!

Or you could plug the hard disk on a XP machine and decrypt those folders.
they are just ideas, tell me if they work.

Hey all,
I work as a tech, and I have a problem that I haven't encountered before, and am looking for

botched it and now his computer won't boot into windows. I would generally fix the problem by
booting into Knoppix, but he's encrypted all his files using the Windows private folder option in
XP, so that doesn't work. Does anyone know of any tools and/or procedures that I could use to get
around this, either by decrypting the files via knoppix or by any other means. If I can't find
anything, I'm going to be forced to tell him to just reformat, which I don't want to do. Thanks

I hope so.
I've been a fan of Sony products for a long time. But somewhere and somehow they lost their way.
They should have owned the digital camera market but they don't.
Same thing with video cameras and mobile phones.
They have an amazing combination of technology & content though and the PS2/PS3 is still huge.
The NYT covers Sony's recent announcement to release the movie "Hancock" on certain Sony tv's for internet delivery before they are released to the DVD rental market but after the theatre release window. The NYT calls this an "industry first".
This isn't the future Sony. A more interesting idea would be to release it online for all to buy or rent at the same time as the theatre release. Maybe even charge a premium for the HD version even.
I'm thrilled to announce our latest investment. We led the Series A in an early stage company in NYC called I'm In Like With You (or IILWY) along with our friend John Borthwick at Betaworks, Ron Conway & Marc Andreesen.
IILWY is a social gaming company that since December has released 4 fun games and many more to follow.
The games are a blast to play. They are casual mulitiplayer games. Works in a browser, nothing to download. And it happens in real time. My favorite game right now is Gemmers.
IILWY was founded by Charles Forman. I've been really impressed with his creative and technical abilities to get this product off the ground and being enjoyed by so many users in a short period time. And he did all of this with a modest amount of angel financing from YCombinator, Betaworks and Ron Conway and the help of a small group of killer engineers.
So if you like social games but don't have time to make a committemnt to WoW and the like, then give IILWY a try. And you can play against me if you want :)
And starting this week, you can now invite friends to play using Twitter like I did here. It's integrated with the game play.
Have fun!
TubeMogul just announced their first monthly list of the Top 40 publishers on their service.
And our portfolio company N3 is on the top of the list. Great job guys!
Here's a screen shot of the top 15. Go here for the full list.
After reading my mom's post on shutting down her tumblelog, I can't help but agree, and it's time for me to end this.
It's not about Tumblr, specifically. It's about the web in general. It's become overrun by too many animals. One of the last straws was adventures of mascarah, who, after reading a few posts where I expressed myself, wrote this:
I will say that if you cut off his head he still looks much better here than with his new shorter locks and Office Space/ child molester glasses. You might not have been happy then, Jake, but wow, you looked so much better.
Jakob is calling it quits on blogging. He's tired of the abuse he's getting online. I don't think the web is being overrun by animals but it's hard to argue with Jakob given the frequent attacks he gets.
I feel for him. He doesn't deserve this crap. It's just been awful. He's a good guy. He's accomplished a lot and should be proud of his work. His blog is also one of the most honest blogs out there and I've so enjoyed following his tumblelog.
I hope he comes back to blogging and this just turns out to be an understandable break.
Regardless I am looking forward to all of Jakob's future projects. I'm rooting for him.
It's no secret that I've been a Twitter user and a big fan of the service for some time now.
In April of last year, I wrote a post (on my old blog) about getting into the feel of Twitter, the potential for 3rd parties app and enjoying all of my 19 friends that were in my immediate Twitter network.
Then about a month after that, I wrote this post about being addicted to Twitter. That post is interesting to me. I linked to a great post by Dave Winer and I also urged my friend Howard Lindzon to start using Twitter. As you can see from his comment, he wasn't a user at the time. Now Howard is a very active user, following 140 people and has 975 followers. Pretty cool.
Since my original post, I've been using Twitter daily it seems. My network on Twitter has grown and I'm getting more and more from it. More sites are building in Twitter functionality too for games, music, and video. And users are doing more with it too.
I've also spent a lot of time with Jack, Ev, Biz & Jason over the past year. They are a fantastic team. I admire their passion and dedication to make Twitter into a global communication utility.
Today Twitter announced a new round of investment. And I'm thrilled to join their board of directors along with our investment in the company.
There are a number of message boards that I use quite a bit as my goto source of information. Mostly they are based on some of my personal passions around photography, audio/video & apple computers.
For photography I goto dpreview
For audio & video info, it's gotta be AVS
And for apple related questions it's still Apple's very own forums.
These message boards are alive and thriving with tons of smart people that are motivated by passion and a sense of community.
At the same time, most message boards have a dated user interface, poor search and notification & messaging systems that are lame at best. Some are getting better but many seem stuck. Even the more recent ones at Yahoo groups or facebook groups don't do it for me. They just don't seem to have the same sense of identity for these groups in my experience.
Online communities continue to gain speed and size though and that's the key thing to pay attention to. But they need more applications, tools & services. They should start twittering together, searching together, shopping together, playing together and learning together.
And that's just a start.

Yesterday I wrote a post about the future of radio.
Well today, our portfolio company Buzzwire announced that their service has just launched on AT&T. Buzzwire is a subscription streaming service that gives subscribers the ability to stream virtually any video or audio to your AT&T phone (except for the iPhone right now) without installing any new software to your phone.
So you can watch videos, listen to your favorite podcast or tune into your favorite radio station on the go. You can also upload mp3s, video, audio and RSS feeds as well. And if you like something you hear/see, you can SMS a link to a friend too.
Mashable has the full story here.
Give it a try.
I was listening to SIRIUS this morning in my car.
A house ad came on and said "satellite was the future of radio"
I only listen to satellite radio in my car because it's the best option in the car right now in terms of convenience.
But the future of radio isn't satellite which by defintion is a one way system. Radio is broadcast as well. Not the future in my book. The future of radio is a two way system. And it's going to come from the internet.
Then as I said last year, we will have Radio 2.0
Since moving into my new place I've noticed something that has changed since the first time I installed WiFi in any home I've lived in.
My local network speed via WiFi (802.11n) is slower than my connectivity to the internet (thanks to Verizon FIOS). And setting up these networks still feels hard and fragile.
My home office and a few other rooms have ethernet in the new house but I dont' like being tethered down to one spot in the house. That's why we use laptops in the house instead of desktop machines for the most part.
The home network at home needs to improve. We've been living with the same set of technologies for the most part for about 10 years. Maybe more. We've been getting more speed but the ease of use leaves a lot to be desired. Installation remains complicated & challenging. And now the even the speed improvements isn't keeping up with the last mile.
Our Sonos system uses their own networking scheme to mesh together. It's quite clever. Once one node is active is a button click to activate new nodes.
I want all my the devices on my home network to work just like that. And I need it to get faster. Downstream and upstream.
I've been a big fan of OpenCoffee Cambridge. It's a great way to meet new people, get feedback on projects and exchange ideas. Here's my twitter update on some of the things we discussed from the OpenCoffee a few weeks back.
I try to attend at least once a month. The last month has been tough for me with my travel schedule and next week isn't any different unfortunately but then after that I will be attending about 1-2/month.
One thing I wanted to point out is that OpenCoffee is just that. It's open for all. No RSVP required. Non invite required. It doesn't matter if you are an entrepreneur or a VC. This is not an event organized by my firm Spark Capital. In just the last 3 weeks, two different boston VCs told me that they don't attend because they thought I would feel like they were jumping into "my event". That couldn't be farther from the truth.
Nabeel and I kicked started this but now the event belongs to everyone and none of us. It just lives with those that partcipate.
So spread the word and bring a friend to the next OpenCoffee Cambridge.
There has been a slight change in the time of the upcoming Berkman Center Non-Compete Event.
The date is unchanged - still taking place June 19th.
But the time is now from 4-8pm and the panel will start at 5pm.
Hope you can make it. More info here.

This Febreze commercial featuring the 2012 Olympic wrestling team from Azerbaijani ( i'm guessing somewhere in Eastern Europe?) is pretty hot. The version shown on tv here in the USA is pretty tame, but this UK version is longer and even shows them making a guy sniff their jock strap! Do the people at Febreze know that's a total gay fetish thing? Wow. In related news, the Olympics start tomorrow and I'll definitely be tuning in for men's wrestling, swimming, diving and gymnastics. Go Team USA!
I have recently become obsessed with the MTV show 'Awkward.' which is about a teenage girl who gets repeatedly humiliated and is stuck in a love triangle with 2 hot guys who are best friends. Well one is hot and the other is cute. I'm particularly into the hot one 'Matty', you're welcome.
My friend got me hooked on Workaholics and now I'm obsessed…with Adam, specifically. I haven't seen every episode, but he is hilarious and hot, my favorite combo! I could post numerous clips but just settled on this one for now.
This is Colin Egglesfield. Egglesfield??? That sounds like a little cartoon British farmer's name! Anyway, he plays Evan Parks (the brother of Jennifer Love Hewitt's estranged husband on The Client List). He's been in soaps and other stuff, and had a main role in the rom-com 'Something Borrowed' with Kate Hudson. The Client List is everyone's guilty pleasure. I could do a whole post just featuring random guest starring actors on that show who's only job is to take their clothes off and get rubbed on by Jennifer Love Hewitt. He's basically like Tom Cruise 2.0, and what's wrong with that? Here's a clip of him on the show mowing the lawn with his shirt off.
This is Joel Kinnaman. He plays Detective Stephen Holder on The Killing, which is 90% on why I watch the show every Sunday. His character is pretty badass and gets the best lines. According to imdb.com he was born in Stockholm, is 32 years old and is also the new Robocop (hmmm…not sure about that reboot but whatever). Either way, he's hot and he's on tv.
Channing Tatum turns 32 today — let's celebrate by remembering some of his most, er, revealing roles.
I am also 32, welcome to '30-Something' Channing! Feel free to stay here, forever.
He has a name, and that name is Ben Grant. Here he breaks down his commercial famous 'bob & weave' dance for the extras. Hot gets even hotter, cuz to me 'funny = hot' so that's my base. If you don't know, now you know.
…Speaking of hot grocers in commercials, there is this ad from Pinnacle Vodka (never heard of it) that is stepping up it's game since the Smirnoff whipped vodka commercials came out over the holidays featuring Kanye West's ex butt model girlfriend, Amber Rose. I actually like those Smirnoff commercials though.
Couldn't create this tumblr without including this recent Liquid-Plumr ad that has gone viral. We all know what it's insinuating, and I don't think I've actually come across it on live TV yet. And as someone who works in a grocery store every day, I find it funny. So is it too much or not enough? Personally, I kinda love it.

The band describes Magic Hour as "future pop" – but collaborations with Diplo, Pharrell Williams and Calvin Harris looks, on paper, more like bandwagon-jumping than any forward-thinking. But it works.
Baby Come Home, a cousin to Take Your Mama Out, opens fearlessly with honky-tonk piano, Vocoder and wasted decadence, strutting about with impenetrable confidence. The annoying Keep Your Shoes On fails to build on this, but Inevitable quickly settles into a lovely Bee Gees-recalling groove, demonstrating that when they step off the dance floor Scissor Sisters are capable of genuine vulnerability.
By its makers' admittance, Magic Hour is a smorgasbord of styles – it hops around like a rabbit browsing the Now! series. But what comes through, to the advantage of this set, is the sense of the band really enjoying itself. From the hard-hitting synths and rapping of Shady Love through to the all-conquering, Calvin Harris-assisted Only the Horses; from the Rufus Wainwright-ish anguish of Secret Life of Letters to the dancehall of the surprisingly mesmerising Let's Have a Kiki, Sister Sisters have recovered their debut album's playfulness.
Every mixed bag will have its misses, and sure enough San Luis Obispo is as forgettable as Best in Me is insipid. But Self Control pounds like a lost 90s house 12", while Somewhere demonstrates commendable restraint and is the equal of their very best work. It's such a natural closer that the extra tracks add little, F*** Yeah possessing the charm of a neighbour's house party the night before a job interview.
Doubts dashed, Scissor Sisters have rediscovered a magic touch lacking slightly on Night Work. Their progress is marked by a developed sense of reflection, which balances their familiar flamboyance – surely to resurface with their Fraggle Rock soundtrack – quite wonderfully.

Who Believes in Moshiach?
A dear friend of mine runs a website called www.moshiach.com. One thing he gets is lots of mail, much of which actually gets answered. With his kind permission (and the kind permission of his correspondent), I would like to reproduce one such exchange:
Dear Rabbi,
As someone who was raised in the Reform community, and was told as a young child that there is no Messiah and no Heaven... I wonder if I will ever be truly able to believe in Moshiach. It seems that there is a strong influence of what I was taught as a child. Will I ever be able accept this concept without doubt?
Dear Susan,
We are all conditioned by our upbringing to be receptive to certain words and catchphrases, and to be resistant towards another set of words and catchphrases. In the environment in which you grew up, "Moshiach" was an alien, or even negative, term. But these are only words. If you go beyond the words, and think about what they really mean, you will find that their meaning is shared by every community and every family. You will find that you are in fact most receptive to it.
Ask yourself: Do you believe that we can do better? That every human being, deep down, wants to, and can, be better, kinder, more noble, than he/she is? Think about your own behavior: how many times, in the wake of doing an unkind or otherwise negative thing, have you consoled yourself by saying "That's not the real me"? Well, if you think so, then it stands to reason that other people--perhaps even all people--also think so, doesn't it?
Ask yourself: Are you outraged by the cruelty and evil in our world? Does not this outrage reflect a deep-seated belief that things don't have to be this way? That we--all of us--are capable of better? Because if not, then there's really nothing to get upset about. If the world is evil, then that's just the way things are. But we all know that this is not so. We all know that the world is intrinsically good. Hence our frustration and anguish when it doesn't act that way.
Do you think that your life is purposeful? Do you think that there's a reason why you're here? Of course you do! If you didn't, why do you bother getting out of bed in the morning? Why do you bother grappling with all the obstacles, great and small, that life sends your way? And are you the only one who gets out of bed in the morning? Billions of people do it every day! Obviously, they all believe something: they believe that all this is going somewhere, and someday we're going to get there!
For thousands of years Jews have had a word for all this. They called it "Moshiach." Unfortunately, two things happened that made it an alien word for many of us. One thing that happened was that we drifted away from the knowledge and wisdom that our grandparents have been carrying with them for 4000 years, so that we forgot what many of the words really meant. And even before that happened, the word "Moshiach" or "Messiah" was wielded by a faith which sprang from ours, and then decided to slaughter us and persecute us so as to convince us to join them. So the word lost its meaning, on the one hand, and gained a negative meaning, on the other.
So don't think about the word. Think about what you believe, what you know deep down to be true.
You can see these and later sources here.

Susan's question, the Rabbi's answer, and the discussion that follow make this perhaps the best place for me to share a burden that I have been carrying for sometime.
I am an average North American Jew in most respects. I went to Hebrew school and later went on to attend synagogue at various Chabads for the past 22 years. I keep mostly Kosher. Say my brachot in the morning and before meals. I give Tzedaka regularly, etc.
I do not, however, believe at all in the concept of a Moshiach, other than as it may apply to personal redemption. Nowhere in the Tanach does it mention a Moshiach coming to redeem us. Yet somehow this concept that is strangely absent in our original sources has become central to Judaism of today. It appears to me as a misunderstood superstition that has taken on a life of its own, much as it has in that younger faith which sprang from ours.

So, is Chabad claiming that the Moshiach is not a person?
I don't fully understand Chabad myself.

I have been studying antisemitism from every angle, psychologically and socially, and to make a long story short, we will never overcome it, no matter how much good we Jews do. Mr. Levy is so correct, it IS a good thing that God loves us, because nobody else will.

I was told by CS that I could buy the iPad mini and put it on the line currently occupied by the MiFi (which is under contract until 2014) and it would drop the price by $10 (since a tablet is $10 and a mobile broadband device is $20) so I bought my iPad mini today and the store (where I know the guys personally) said they cannot do that until the MiFi is off contract due to something having to do with Apple so I had to add another line (which does not bother me as it is only $10 per month until the pathetic state of Taxachusetts starts double dipping into my wallet with their telecom taxes as it occupies a phone number).Is it true that I cannot change the device type until the contract expires or I break the contract. I will technically no longer need a MiFi when I get iPhone 5 as it has one built in. I may just pop the SIM card in my USB dongle (Pantech UML 290) as the only gadget ill have that will lack mobile connectivity will be my MacBook Pro as all my other toys (iPad, iPad mini, and iPhone are all online and connected to my Verizon ShareEverything plan.
... what a mess
I don't see how changing devices would break the contract as the line is still there. You're not terminating the line. I would call verizon wireless customer service and inquire.Just an FYI - you are aware it'd be cheaper just to use your mifi hotspot for internet and connect your device's via their wifi to the mifi rather than paying all those per device connection fees. IMO the share everything is a total rip off by verizon just in the per device connection fees. If you have an iphone already on your share everything, just use it's built in hotspot and ditch the other device's on your account and either save $$$ or use the money you were spending to bump up your data allotment. Just my opinion though.

People are making the argument that these punishments are too steep, that it does nothing to punish the people that were actually involved.
First of all, the main players that were involved are either dead (Joe Paterno), or in jail (Jerry Sandusky). There isn't a heck of a lot more that you can do to those guys. Vacating the wins DOES affect one of the major players, since it means that Joe Paterno is no longer the winningest coach in college football history. That affects him greatly.
And whether the principals are affected or not, that's not the point. The point is the culture that was created at Penn State University.
When you hear the Freeh report, and look at the evidence, it's clear. This university buried a lot. They buried the fact that children were getting abused on their facilities. They knew it, they knew it for sure, and they buried it. Why? Because they valued their precious football program rather than the lives of children.
Understand that. They valued their football program over the lives of children.
Hitting that program hard was the only thing that the NCAA could do. No, it doesn't give anything back to the victims and it doesn't do a lot to the principal players. What it DOES do, is says that a culture where football is more important than people's lives is unacceptable.
So, why not the "death penalty"? Turn the page.
