Does anyone have a suggestion of what/how to use a seperate concealer with this product? a flawless airbrushed look is great, but I need some super spot coverage. do you use the mac cream concealer underneath? will the brush brush it away after if you do it beforehand?
I'm using Retin-A to help clear away some of my scars, as well as a lotion to help the flakes stay soft enough to easily come off.... anyone else using retin-a with this? What order do you do each step in?

I had been a mac full coverage addict for about 4 years until I found this website and read the reviews of everyone experiencing breakouts with MAC foundations. I have acne so I figured I should try something else that isn't going to make the issue worse and hopefully would help clear my skin a bit. I purchased this from Shoppers Drug mart in the starter kit (Love the blush, bronzer is too dark for me) and I must say I got much better results than I was expecting! Anyone who has tried the full coverage foundation from mac knows that it is heavy and could cover anything (which is what I wanted) and while this doesn't have the coverage of that..I can get it really close using a separate concealer. It has a buildable coverage but I don't feel it could be used as a concealer for anyone who experiences breakouts. I love it and it is now my foundation of choice, it's so much healthier for the skin, it wears well and feels so much lighter..I'm thrilled! As for the brush I got with it..I was not as pleased with it until I read the review about washing it and the bristles stopped coming out. If you still do not like the brush after this then I would suggest another brush similar as you need the short, rather coarse bristles to get full potential and the best coverage from the product. (If you use a brush with longer bristles the product will settle in them and go to waste)

This is my favourite pressed powder. I also find it gives an air brushed look, reduces shine, and is long lasting. I got it in a set with blush, bronzer and a brush for a good price too. (I am happy with all the products)

I really like this powder I wouldn't call it my favourite foundation, but it's definitely up there, and probably my top powder formulation. I have quite dry skin, and this works well for it without turning my forehead into a flake factory, highlighting dryness like most other powders seem to.
It doesn't have the best coverage, but it covers well enough to camouflage most of my redness, and looks really natural when buffed into the skin. I like to use a big flat top brush meant for bronzing. I find the provided sponge quite useless, giving a far too cakey powdered look.
It doesn't quite live up to it's claims to be 4-in-1, since I find I need to use a concealer with it for blemishes and my under-eye area, but 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
The colour selection is okay, too. I was lucky enough to find an almost perfect match in Light.
EDIT: Been using this as as a powder to set liquid foundation lately and I'm loving it. It provides a little additional coverage and seems to keep oil at bay and not highlight my dry areas. I'm impressed. continued >>

i have the medium blush color, as my skin has lots of pink/red in it. i was using BE for years, happened to see this on one of those shopping channels on tv, thought what the heck, if i dont like , i can return. I will not be returning!! color match was perfect, althought i think in summertime will def have to use bronzer to warm it up. EXcellent coverage, and as i said, i do have rosy red cheeks. i used the sponge applicator where i thought i needed more coverage then took my ecotools kabuki brush and just covered the rest of my face. my face looks airbrushed! better coverage than BE for about the same price. the chisel brush that came with my foundation is crap, shedding and not very soft on the skin. but i checked on the price of foundation alone, and the brush was just a bonus, so i will probably give it away and stick with my kabuki brush. Pur minerals has not made my face itch the way BE sometimes did.

Very nice product. At first, I hated the brush because little hairs came off on my face, but after washing it no more of that. The finish is almost airbrushed like. It doesn't set in lines and it feels good on my face. It gives the coverage of a liquid but with easy application. I can't stand liquids anymore these days. Great product.

I recently purchased this product from Ulta because, even though I love my Sheer Cover, I wanted to try out other mineral foundations out there in the market. Overall, it's a pretty good product. I like that when I'm rushing I can do my makeup in seconds by using my Coastal Scents pink kabuki brush (I heard horrible reviews about the Pur Minerals brush) and buffing the foundation on my face. It evens out skin tone, but if you really want full coverage without the cakey feel, I suggest using a separate concealer.
I'm quite mixed up about this product. On one hand, it's a lot cheaper than Sheer Cover and offers twice as much product. Plus, being a pressed powder, I can bring it around with me. It really does have beautiful coverage, and I really like that finish isn't a flat, matte face. On the other hand, it feels heavier on my skin, and I'll admit that sometimes I feel like I'm wearing a cakey mask. I know that a lot of people say it feels like nothing, but when I put this on, I know I put something on because I feel it on me for the rest of the day. I have this on Tan which is a teeny bit darker than my skin tone, but summer is coming and I'm bound to get tanner. The shade is very forgiving though. I'm not sure how much I like the finish. I'm going to say it's ok - sometimes it reminds me very much of just a regular face powder. Other times, it gives a slight sheen that reminds me a little bit of how my face looks like when I get a tad greasy midday. If you put on too much, it can look cakey.
I recently discovered my favorite way to wear this is by putting on concealer first, buffing the Pur minerals and finishing it with a little bit of Sheer Cover (which is lighter makes for a great finishing powder over other foundation for more coverage and glow).
It's a good product: I'm just not sure that I love it yet. But for the price and the amount product that you get, it's a good deal. I suggest you head to an Ulta and try it out there first and see how much you like it.
As soon as I got used to the 'heavier' feeling of the Pur Minerals (compared to the Sheer Cover which you really hardly feel) I must admit that I love this foundation. It's fast, it's easy, it certainly does its job. It makes your skin glow and it's a 3 in 1 product so you can use it as a finishing powder as well with a light hand and a powder brush. However, even though it has twice as much product as the Sheer Cover, I've already hit pan and I bought this product around March or April (I can't remember). The Sheer Cover lasted me a year, maybe more before I had to buy new foundation. I don't know why, since it has more product than the Sheer Cover it doesn't last as long (I'm thinking it's because it's pressed, the brush ends up picking more product than if you sift the loose powder out into the lid, though I used I lot of SC because it was so sheer).
Still, I love my Pur Minerals and will probably alternate between SC and this.

I've only used this for a whole day, and for now I can say this product is phenomenal. It has shea butter in it which is a first for me, but in a good way. Saw that lauren aka queenofblendingmua uses this on the daily, decided to give in and give a shot at mineral makeup. I have no regrets on trying this so far..
I feel that you have to let this set into the oils of your face for up to 20-30 minutes then set with powder. I didnt have time to touch up today but it did not feel mask like just kind of glowy but still it needs a touch-up. I have this in golden medium, and I'd say this is the best and only match for me, color selection isn't that great but I'm glad I got a decent match. Color payoff and coverage I would say is average, you will need a good concealer. I feel this foundation is for everyday, could be easily bumped for events but you need to work much more of it. Good luck finding the right shade, like I said give it time to settle into your face before you judge.

BUFFALO, NY - There is now a declared and endorsed candidate in the running to fill the now open seat of a state lawmaker in Western New York.
Sean Ryan, who is an attorney who specialized in housing issues, now has the Erie County Democratic party backing to run for the 144th State Assembly seat which was vacated by Sam Hoyt.
Ryan says if elected, he would try to open up various state grant programs to deal with neighborhood issues in the Westside, Riverside, and Black Rock areas of the city.
"I'd like to take that process and de-mystify it, make it simpler and be able to bring funds directly into our district to deal with the vacancy and abandonment problem, the vacant lot problem, problems with job training programs," Ryan said Saturday at his announcement.
The special election is set for September 19th, there are no other candidates so far.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard activated from IR: 'I know I can help the team'
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Wild finished last season bracing for the worst news about one of their best forwards. Pierre-Marc Bouchard was still bothered by post-concussion symptoms in the second extended absence of his now-threatened career.
Bouchard needed more time to heal, making him one of the rare NHL players to actually benefit from the lockout. Symptom-free for more than a month, Bouchard was activated from injured reserve on Thursday and is on track to play for the Wild in Saturday's opener against Colorado.
"I kind of needed that. It wasn't a great situation for anybody -- don't get me wrong here -- but it gave me a little bit more time to make sure I healed properly," Bouchard said after practice Tuesday.
Because he wasn't cleared for activity last year when the season concluded, Bouchard was allowed -- unlike his locked-out peers -- to see the Wild's medical staff and train at their facilities. He had a weekly check-up with team doctors. After an intra-squad scrimmage Wednesday night, Bouchard was set to speak with them and general manager Chuck Fletcher again to seek final approval to participate from the start of the season.
The Wild finalized the decision on Thursday by activating Bouchard and reassigning defenseman Steven Kampfer to the AHL's Houston Aeros.
The slick-skating and deft-passing Bouchard, the Wild's longest-tenured player, has missed 157 of a possible 254 games because of concussions over the last four years. The first incident came on March 25, 2009, and he played in only one game after that until returning to action Dec. 1, 2010. Then the dreaded head injury struck again when he was hit face-first into the boards in a game on Dec. 13, 2011.
Bouchard missed two games, returned for eight more and then missed the remainder of the season. The Wild were a league-leading 20-7-3 before Bouchard was hurt that night in Winnipeg. They went 15-29-8 the rest of the way. Coach Mike Yeo said he believes the Wild would've made the playoffs if Bouchard wasn't out.
"Boy, he's been a big part of this team for so many years, and we all know his skill level and what he can bring to the team," captain Mikko Koivu said. "I've been with him for all my years here, so it feels good to have him on the ice and back in action."
Bouchard is expected to play the left wing on the third line, with Kyle Brodziak at center and Cal Clutterbuck at right wing. That's more offensive ability on the third line than the Wild have arguably ever had over the franchise's 13 years. With Zach Parise, Dany Heatley, Matt Cullen and Devin Setoguchi asked to produce the bulk of the scoring, there's less pressure on Bouchard, the team's first-round draft pick in 2002 who has been on the roster every day since he was 18. He's 28 now.
"If I am able to stay healthy and play my game, I know I can help the team with the different aspects of my game," Bouchard said, acknowledging some pessimism about his future a year ago.
"At the start you're a little discouraged, and it's tougher. But throughout the process I was trying to stay positive. At one point I was confident I was going to be able to get back to 100 percent. Making some appointments with the doctors and seeing some progress was helpful. Every day I was feeling a little bit better and a little bit better, so that's what kept me going, I guess."
Yeo said he's just as eager to bring Bouchard back on a power-play unit as he is to the five-on-five lineup.
"We almost had to go in with the plan that he wasn't going to be in here and hope that he was," Yeo said. "The more that this goes on, the more encouraged that I am. I think he looks great, and he's feeling great, and hopefully this will continue."© The Associated Press

On March 23, 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued an advisory bulletin to reiterate two alert notices previously issued by PHMSA, ALN-91-02 (Oct. 11, 1991) and ALN-92-02 (June 26, 1992) which addressed the continued use of cast iron pipe in natural gas distribution pipeline systems and to remind owners and operators and state pipeline safety representatives of the need to maintain an effective cast iron management program. Recent explosions in Philadelphia and Allenstown, Pennsylvania, which killed 6 people, injured many others and caused significant property damage, involved cast iron pipelines installed in 1942 and 1928, respectively. These incidents emphasized the need for safety improvements to aging gas pipeline systems in the United States.
ALN-91-02 was issued to provide notice to owners and operators of the National Transportation Safety Board's recommendation, P-91-12. The recommendation advised gas operators to (1) implement a program based on factors such as age, pipe diameter, operating pressure, soil corrosiveness, existing graphitic damage, leak history, burial depth and external loading, (2) identify cast iron piping systems that may threaten public safety, and (3) replace these systems in a planned, timely manner. ALN-92-02 was issued to remind operators that the surveillance, pipeline facility assessment and mitigation requirements stated in 49 CFR 192.613 apply to cast iron pipelines.
In the March 23 advisory bulletin, PHMSA reminds owners and operators and state pipeline safety representatives that these two alert notices continue to be relevant and urges owners and operators to conduct a comprehensive review of their cast iron distribution pipelines and replacement programs and to accelerate repair and replacement of high-risk pipelines. Specifically, PHMSA requests owners and operators to
Owners and operators are further reminded of their responsibilities under 49 CFR 192.617 to establish procedures for analyzing incidents and failures to determine the causes of the failure and to minimize the possibility of a recurrence.
Finally, the advisory bulletin notes that the Department of Transportation, in accordance with the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, will continue to monitor the progress made by operators to implement plans of safe management and replacement of cast iron gas pipelines and identify the total miles of cast iron pipelines in the United States.

Chef Bill Kim affectionately refers to Belly Shack—the sequel to his acclaimed Logan Square noodle house Urban Belly—as his "love story," because the menu fuses his Korean roots and his wife's Puerto Rican background. Not to be missed are the Belly Dog topped with egg noodles, pickled green papaya, togarashi-spiced fries, and the Boricua, a jibarito (fried plantain sandwich) with marinated tofu, hoisin sauce, and brown rice. Much like Urban Belly, space is tight at this casual-yet-hip BYOB, so it's best to show up early to avoid a wait.

A Tomato Is A Tomato
For the life of me I do not understand the avoidance of purchasing fresh farm grown tomatoes that are "not exactly round." Are we so conditioned by the giant agribusiness conglomerates that dictate what our food should look like? Perfect specimens of equal size and color?
So many times I have observed this at farmers markets where a variety of heirloom tomatoes are on display from gorgeous pinky-purple Brandywine to the ridged Costoluto Genovese. They do not sell nearly as well as the round beef steak varieties because we have been conditioned to think that all tomatoes must be red and round. We are reluctant to try anything that is outside the realm of this description and that is too bad because we are missing out on some sensational tasting, real tomatoes that are only going to be around for a short time.
Right now my garden is about to give way to many heirlooms and cherry types including Sun Gold one of my very favorite yellow cherry tomatoes. Funny, yellow cherry tomatoes don't move as quickly as their bright red cousins but I can tell you for certain that they ARE better tasting.
Plum tomatoes for making tomato sauce need to be plump and meaty with few seeds. My favorite is Redorta, an elongated, heavy in the hand plum tomato that cooks up into a delicious tomato sauce.
The calendar says July but I don't think some people have noticed as they continue to buy store variety, cardboard tasting, genetically engineered so called tomatoes.
Great tomato recipes at www.ciaoitalia.com.

Just watched episode 2208 where you stuffed a leg of lamb for a man named Joe who owns the store where you got the lamb. Where is Joe's store and what is its name?
Thanks so much! Love your show. You're a great cook.

I was given a bunch of tomatoes from a friends garden. I have never canned before so I was wondering if I can make freh sauce with these tomatoes and then Freeze it instead. If so is there anything I should not do and how long can I freeze it? Thank you!!

OK. This is not here just to save face value. I have neglected you. I'm sorry. But hey, I'm back now. Let's just move on.
I was showing a colleague some blog pix back in December and her comment was: How do you expect people to follow your blog if you haven't updated in a week… Truth of the matter is, I don't really expect people to follow my blog. The fact that I have a few visitors each month is taking me continuously by surprise. A recent comment on my blog was chasing me up for a task I had set myself in the first ever post. I obviously have not done any entries on Lebanese breakfasts. But, after a visit to Emma's on Liberty, I had the chance to get reacquainted with an old favourite: Sujuk. Before I get stuck in, I want to make it clear, this is not a post for the sake of posting. This is the real deal, a full subject matter, so let's dig in.
Red Sujuk Stockings, probably great for Christmas, with black Sujuk in the background
Lebanon has a fantastic Armenian community who have enriched our cuisine and with whom we have co-contributed to much cross-cultural osmosis. Our fellow Armenians have had a presence in Lebanon for centuries, but the major influx was during the Ottoman empire's Armenian genocide in 1915 – a very sad event.
But Armenians are a strong and positive people, and they persevered well, and integrated into the Lebanese society where they now have representatives in the parliament. An area of major concentration is Bourj Hammoud, and there you will find some of the best sujuk ever.
All cut up and frying, with no oil.
So sujuk, it turns out, is a semi-dry, spicy sausage that crosses cultural boundaries. It can be found in more or less similar form in Macedonia, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Armenia. The version familiar to me is the latter, and after the visit to Emma's, I wanted more. Emma's version of this Armenian specialty is pure authenticity. What left me hanging is the mean, upsettingly small portion.
My recipe based on a traditional version with plenty of onions and fresh tomatoes, made smokey by the sujuk slices
Normally, I would seek sausages out at the butcher's. This particular one however, has an alcoholic ingredient (red wine or arak) which means none of the Lebanese butchers I know would make it, alcohol being a forbidden ingredient by Islam. So, determined to make my own, I looked around the net for resources and found several. So I took the best bits of all the recipes, and came up with my own. It turns out there are two types of sujuk – red and black. Red sujuk contains red wine and has paprika as a main ingredient, which gives it its color. Black sujuk depends on pepper for spice, with the aniseed hit coming from Arak (the macho Lebanese cousin of ouzo or pastis). Beware, you will be stuffing the meat in freshly bought single legged ladies stockings. So here is how you make it:
Red Sujuk
1 Kilo fatty beef mince (or half beef, half lamb)
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
2 tsp salt
2 Heaped Tablespoons Sweet Paprika
2 Heaped Tablespoons Smokey Paprika
1 Heaped Tablespoon Fenugreek spice
1 Heaped Tablespoon Cumin
1 Heaped Tablespoon Black Pepper, the fine powder type, not the fresh cracked.
1/2 cup of Red Wine, nothing too expensive
Black Sujuk
1 Kilo fatty beef mince (or half beef, half lamb)
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
2 tsp salt
1 hpd tbsp white pepper
1 hpd tbsp black pepper
1 hpd tbsp cinnamon
1 hpd tbsp cumin
1 hpd tbsp allspice
1/2 cup arak
So, of course, after a week, I had to get everyone over for a sujuk festival.
Stuffed soujouk foccaccia, pre-oven
To cook the sujuk, you need only slice it and fry it dry in a frying pan. The amount of fat within is sufficient to fry it nicely.
For the foccaccia, I used a basic recipe with mozzarella, parmesan, semi-dried tomatoes and sujuk.
The following are questions I had in my mind
1- Is this safe? Should I be hanging meat in the garage? A – Yeah, come on!
2- Will it rot? A – You won't know unless you try. My batch didn't rot
3- Will it dry up? A – Yep, slightly, and it becomes harder on the outside, which makes it easy to slice
4- Will it drip as it hangs? A – No
5- How do I know if it has gone bad? A – Evidently, it will smell bad, but the alcohol and salt should preserve it well.
The stuffed foccaccia as an end result.
So, what do I think? Fantastic result, and everyone loved it. None was left over, so that's cool… I had to buy a few books about sausage making as a result, but that's another post for another time.
Hey Fouad
That sounds great, I am so glad you went to Emma's and by the sounds of it, you liked it.
The Soujouk at first seemed really difficult to make, but after reading your post, it was not as daunting as I thought. I love that you hand them from stocking
So glad you posted again, I know you have a lot more to share with all of your followers : )
Thanks Trish. They really turned out great. The stockings are an easy alternative to natural casings, which are a bit of a hassle and need a sausage machine. Also, thanks for the encouragement.
Great to year you're back in the seat. Looks like you haven't skipped a meat (beat)!
Vincent Shaw.
Did you wash the stockings before you put meat in them? Just because you just bought them, doesn't mean they're clean…
Yeah, I know what you mean. I would be afraid that water might spoil the meat, so soaking them in the alcohol of choice would probably be better than soaking them.
I have a friend who told me she made sujuk with the tenderloin. Which cut of meat did you use? I am curious to try it now!
Excellent posting…I appreciate this blog….
Bravo on many levels. My family is Armenian and my father was the president of Haigazian University in Beirut for many years back in the 70′s. We loved Lebanon. My mother used to make the Black Sujuk and I'm sure many neighbors were wondering what was in the stuffed stockings hanging off the trees in our back yard. Thank you for acknowledging the Armenians, what they went through and the wonderful relationship they've had with Lebanon.
The Mom Chef´s last [type] ..Maiale in Agrodolce and Broccoli Strascinati from Saveur Magazine- April 2010
I made this and since my apartment is VERY humid there were mould on the casing..(not the white looking mould that you see on dried sausages but rather greenish). Anyway, I took it out and it looked ok, smelled ok and tasted ok, but I am still worried that it could be dangerous as itùs fermented raw meat?? What do you think?

Neil Gaiman (author), Dave McKean
Violent Cases marked the first collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean -- and the first published graphic novel for both. The title comes from a child's misunderstanding, or mishearing, of the idea of violin cases used by the mafia to carry guns.
Violent Cases' primary narrator, who strongly resembles a younger Gaiman, recounts a sequence of events from his childhood to an unseen audience. By his own admission, heÕs an unreliable narrator, his memory uncertain, though he also asserts that he remembers some things perfectly, despite only being four and a half at the time. He focuses on an incident from that time when his father injured his arm and took him to see a mysterious osteopath who used to work for Al Capone. It's uncertain whether the father purposefully injured the boy, as readers have only the latter's assertion that it wasn't so.
The boy and the osteopath meet several times, the last time at a hotel where the former is attending a friend's birthday party. Having no desire to sit through the party clown's act -- or an increasingly vicious game of musical chairs -- the boy joins the osteopath, who regales him with graphic tales of Al Capone's violent ways. That the older man would relate such brutal details to a child is disturbing enough, but the boy's mental image of inflicting similar violence upon the other children is even more so. Three baseball-bat wielding men take the osteopath away from the hotel, effectively concluding this act in the narrator's life.
Dave McKean's art works very well with Violent Case's theme of transient memory. For example, the osteopath's appearance changes over time, presumably with the narrator's perception. Some images are not fully rendered, as if half-remembered fragments of memory. His style also changes from scene to scene -- the osteopath's memories are visually distinctly different from the main narrator's, and from the present day.
Visually stunning, and a host of intriguing things to say about perception and memory, Violent Cases was definitely an impressive debut for the Gaiman/McKean duo.
Neil Gaiman is here and Dave McKean here.

Would be pretty cool if they could bin pixels when needed to increase sensitivity.
Gothmoth: i hope it kills the overpriced EF 35mm f2.
The EF 35/f2 costs about £220. That's not that over-priced.
Small, a little noisy, but a very solid performer wide open already.
antiq: The first thing I will be interested in though is how accurate it focuses on Canon.. the only thing that Sigma was lacking in the recent models was consistent accuracy.
Focusing accuracy is always a function of both the body and the lens. There's a nice in-depth explanation somewhere on the lensrental.com blog.
AP7: Good news: Nice pricey camera with "Leaf Shutter" that can sync up to 1/2000 sec.
Bad news: In bright day light, the maximum aperture that you can use without blowing out background is f/3.5 at 1/2000sec and ISO 100 (according to Sunny 16 rule). The flash guide number is 6m. So, it can only cover 1.7m or 5.6ft. If you subject is 15ft away, it will be 3-stops under exposed. Therefore, it is not so useful for daytime fill flash. Why can't they put a flash with guide number 13m (available in most DSLR camera) at least or shutter speed 1/4000 sec to get full advantage of leaf shutter?
Even if the onboard flash is weak - leaf shutter!!! Finally sync your flashes past the 1/160 you frequently see on m4/3 or similarly sized cameras. Yeah!

A grim forecast for heating costs
Posted By admin On August 21, 2008 @ 1:13 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Erin Ailworth
Boston Globe
August 21, 2008
Massachusetts residents who heat their homes with natural gas or oil could end up paying nearly $1 billion more this year than they did in 2007, about a 30 percent increase, according to a University of Massachusetts report set to be released today.
"It's a tremendous amount of money out of people's pockets," said Robin Sherman, the report's lead author. "People can cut back on [heating] to some extent if it gets too expensive, but there's obviously a floor beyond which they can't go to keep themselves in their homes without freezing."
The increase will have an especially dramatic impact on the nearly 1 million households that are heated with oil, which now sells for about $4.70 a gallon, up from $2.59 a year ago, according to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources.

Video: Organizers: New DOT Change Threatens Local Parades
LE ROY, N.Y. -- The Oatka Festival has been a tradition in Le Roy for many years, and it kicks off with a parade that draws thousands. But organizers worry changes from the State Department of Transportation could threaten the parade's future.
Currently, municipalities can issue permits for parades, even if they are on state property, and the rules say they must "coordinate" with their regional NYSDOT office. But a proposed change would require the muncipalities to get a permit from the state, instead of simply regulating the parades themselves.
Assemblyman Stephen Hawley said that "would place expensive, overreaching mandates on parade organizers" by requiring them to possibly get expensive bonds and insurance coverage, submit "overly-detailed plans to DOT" and to follow more onerous state guidelines than before.
Lynne Belluscio, co-chair of the Oatka parade, said she worries about the parade's future when these changes take effect next year.
"The thought of not being able to afford the parade because of the additional insurance and all the fees and everything that are going to be coming down the line for next year is pretty glum," Belluscio said.
But Jennifer Post, a spokesperson for NYSDOT, said the changes will actually make the process easier.
Because "coordination" was already required, Post said essentially nothing will change for parade organizers.
"We're simplifying the process," Post said, adding that no new fees or financial requirements will be placed on parade organizers.
She said municipalities will simply have to fill out what's expected to be a one-page form explaining the parade location, route, traffic management plan, etc.
Still, some lawmakers say they're concerned anytime a new permit or regulation comes from Albany.
"How can state government possibly think that interfering in our local parades is the best use of time and resources?" Hawley asked.
State Senator Mike Ranzenhofer wouldn't rule out legislation to possibly prevent the new permitting requirement, but he said he hopes by working with local officials he can convince the NYSDOT to reconsider.

Bumper Crop of WADL Tools
Last week saw the release of three new WADL frameworks:

- Ruby
- Ruby client for the Web Application Description Language
Earlier I had committed, but failed to blog about, changes to wadl2java that enable the latest version to read both the current and prior versions of WADL files. This is driven by an XSLT stylesheet filter that updates the previous version to the latest version while leaving the current version intact.

Ruth Wilson Gossip
Ruth Wilson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Joshua Jackson is compelling in The Affair trailer
FameFlynet, AKM-GSI/ Splash News
I really loved watching The Affair – but I didn't enjoy it. I know that sounds contradictory, but there wasn't much to celebrate and love. That was a bleak show. But I loved it - maybe in a more 'craft-driven' way than I expected. The show was least interesting when it was actually focusing on The Affair itself, and much more interesting when it was focusing on whatever Alison and Noah were running away from. Full Story
Hollywood Reporter Drama Actress Roundtable 2015
Man oh man, is it good to be The Hollywood Reporter this year. That is, they're doing what they always do - including the actresses who are most likely to get an Emmy nomination or to be discussed if they don't get an Emmy nomination – but these women are the most interesting we've had in years. Full Story
Ready for the boat parties?
FameFlynet, KCS Presse/ Splash News
Sienna Miller, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Julianne Moore are among the long list of celebrities arriving in Nice today ahead of the Cannes Film Festival. Let's start with Jake, because we were talking about him yesterday and whether or not the photo I linked to was of him having breakfast/lunch with Ruth Wilson or Rachel McAdams – click here Full Story
Jake & Ruth sweat then kiss?
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Time to fire up those Jake Gyllenhaal-Ruth Wilson rumours again. Page Six reports that they were at a fitness class together on Saturday. After the workout, Jake waited for Ruth to shower and change. Then they kissed. It was "passionate but tasteful". Full Story
Dear Gossips,The Tony Award nominations were announced yesterday by Bruce Willis and Mary Louise Parker. It was a RED reunion. They shut out Harvey Weinstein's Finding Neverland. Some of the big name celebrities who were called include Bradley Cooper (The Elephant Man), Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy (Skylight), and Ruth Wilson for her work in Constellations. Read Full Intro
Ruth & Jake: a starry night
Wenn, Andrew H. Walker/ Walter McBride/ Getty Images
Opening night of Constellations on Broadway starring Ruth Wilson and Jake Gyllenhaal. The reviews have been largely positive. Click here for a broad collection of them including the NYT's Ben Brantley, James Franco's "little bitch", who clearly prefers Jakey to The Artiste. Full Story
Jakey's party family…but not Taylor
Rachel Murray/ Angela Weiss/ Kevin Mazur/ Stefanie Keenan/ Getty Images
As mentioned earlier, Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal were on the same party circuit last night after the Globes. Click here for a refresher and to see pictures of Taylor with her sisterhood. At one point they were all at Chateau Marmont. Jake was having a great time with sister Maggie and Ruth Wilson. Full Story
Ruth Wilson's Globes tone
Jeff Vespa/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
There's a sentiment out there that The Affair is not serious, or something. Or that maybe because people are being horrible to each other that it's not worth watching? I'm not sure exactly what it is that people want from it. I was so pleased to see something so resolutely family-based winning awards. Full Story
Jake & Ruth walk the dog
Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson went for a walk in New York with the dog on Saturday. As you know, the two have been spending a lot of time together preparing for the upcoming Constellations on Broadway. And the rumours want them to be dating. Real dating or method dating? The play is a love story told across parallel universes. Full Story
Jakey & Ruth?
The Gossip Genie appears to be ignoring my requests for a Jake Gyllenhaal-Rachel McAdams love situation. Because he's been spending a lot of time with Ruth Wilson. They're working on a new play together, Constellations. But there have also been lunches and dinners. And according to E! Full Story
The Affair
Wenn, Walter McBride/ Ben Gabbe/ Getty Images
The Affair Season 1 Episode 9 recap Ooh, an episode that starts with Alison is always a bit offbeat and her genuine smile as we open the episode tells me I'm right. This isn't going to be a typical episode. Oh ha, right. Look at all the levity upon us. Basically, the first half of this episode shows us how much Alison wants to die and that she was only clinging to her affair with Noah to put off what seems like the inevitable. Full Story
Nominee surrounded by nominees
247PapsTV/ Splash, Pacific Coast News
Great week for Jake Gyllenhaal. As already mentioned, lots, he was nominated for a SAG award and for a Golden Globe for his performance in Nightcrawler. His sister, Maggie, was also nominated for both (Best Actress Miniseries, The Honourable Woman). And Ruth Wilson, his Broadway co-star in Constellations, was nominated for The Affair. Full Story
Jude & Ruth v2.0
FameFlynet, Keystone
Almost exactly two years ago, it was reported that Jude Law and Ruth Wilson were dating. Click here for a refresher. It didn't really go anywhere and I'm not sure if it's because Ruth isn't as much of a headliner as, say, Sienna Miller or if it's because they didn't actually Go Anywhere. Full Story
Ruth & Jude
Ruth Wilson is Jude Law's new girlfriend. She's an actor. They've worked together on a few projects the last couple of years, most recently Anna Karenina which is supposed to factor into the coming award season. Jude certainly knows how to pick them when they're on the rise. People have been calling for Ruth to "break out" for some time now. Full Story

The good news is this weather held off until Sunday afternoon, and before its arrival, fishing was red-hot both near shore and offshore. The other good news is this cold snap hit early in the week, and as it looks now, by Friday, the winds are supposed to subside and temperatures are forecast to be back in the 80s. It looks like a great holiday weekend ahead.
SUNSET BEACH—A man wanted on two felony warrants in Wilmington was arrested Monday night by local police.
Justin Kyle Loeser was arrested by Sunset Beach police after they were called to a residence on Dogwood Drive on a domestic violence call.
A subsequent background check revealed Wilmington police had issued an all points bulletin for Loeser. One warrant was for breaking and entering and larceny and a second warrant was for obtaining property by false pretenses and misdemeanor larceny.
Work by artist Gary Halberstadt, president of the Brunswick Arts Council, is being featured at Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash through May 30.
The exhibit features landscapes of local waterway scenes as well as paintings inspired by Halberstadt's travels through Europe.
The Brooklyn, N.Y., native taught himself to paint while in the Army and painted intermittently before moving to Brunswick County. A minor accident in 2005 curtailed most of his activities but laid the groundwork for his artistic resurgence.
Good news, Brunswick County! We're still growing by leaps and bounds.
While the economy has put many in a pinch—including slowing or completely halting some construction—growth is still happening right here in our community.
Last week, a larger, brighter, better Food Lion store opened to much fanfare in Shallotte. In June, a new Lowes Food will open its doors in Ocean Isle Beach. The Economic Development Commission indicates another Lowes Food is set to get under construction soon at N.C. 211 and Midway Road.
Family and friends of Jake Moseley and Caleb Hawkins, two West Brunswick High School students who died as the result of a fatal car crash earlier this month, gathered last week for a night of remembrance at First Baptist Church in Shallotte.
Siblings, classmates and friends all shared their favorite memories of the two boys, who were best remembered as fun-loving, kind-hearted people who left a lasting impression on everyone who knew them.
HOLDEN BEACH—A single gunshot wound took the life of 43-year-old Daniel Anderson, of Hilliard, Ohio, police say.
Anderson, whose body was found on the beach around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 12, by a member of the Holden Beach Turtle Patrol, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the mouth, Holden Beach Police Detective Justin Hewett said.
LONGWOOD—A Longwood man was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after he told police he shot a man for continually coming onto his property.
Wendell Daniels, 55, of 7299 Carlon Road, told police he repeatedly told Hester Griffin to stop coming to his Longwood home.
When Griffin came to Daniels' home around 5 a.m. Saturday, May 16, a confrontation ensued, and Daniels allegedly shot Griffin in the stomach with an assault-style rifle, Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Lt. Sam Davis said.

With the fast paced lifestyle everybody has nowadays, it's really not surprising why a lot of people suffer from anxiety disorders.
But aside from emotional distress, poor quality mattresses can also be the reason for sleeping problems – it's also one of the reasons why you need to check out a memory foam mattress if you want to have some good night sleep.
But what's so special about a memory foam mattress, you may ask. Well, for one, it conforms to one's body shape, giving you as much comfort as you need.
This is highly effective in letting you sleep well because unlike traditional mattresses, memory foam mattress does not put any kind of resistance on your joints and whole body, allowing you to fully relax.
How long is the Memory Foam Mattress around?
If you must know, the Memory Foam mattress has already been around since the 90s. In fact, it has become quite a phenomenon, as it is an entirely fresh concept that even the most skeptical and inflexible of people accepted it with open arms.
It is truly something that has revolutionized rest, sleep, and the mattress industry.
Looking at the Memory Foam mattress, it really has a lot of advantages that anyone will surely enjoy and love. One example is already mentioned earlier: it is vastly different from the traditional spring coil mattresses, offering less resistance to the resting body.
Another is that it can provide over all comfort for better sleep. On cold nights, a Memory Foam mattress can adjust and become a bit harder and warmer, while on warmer nights, it can be softer and cooler.
This is due to the mattress' ability to follow every contour of your body, allowing it to cover you and understand your temperature better.
Serving Medical Needs
A Memory Foam mattress can also serve to your medical needs. With its amazing abilities, it can fully provide great comfort to tired and sick bodies that need some rest. With the mattress' soothing features, patients can really wake up the next morning with less pain.
What's more amazing is that a Memory Foam mattress can come available in a variety of densities, allowing you to choose where you'll be most comfortable in.
You can choose from the 5lb density which is stiffer (meaning it takes longer to return to its old state), heavier, and more sensitive to the temperature.
The other choice, the 4lb density mattresses, are softer, less expensive, although, less sensitive to the temperature.
Sadly, if you like jumping up and down on your bed, the Memory Foam mattress may not be for you. It is totally non-bouncy, another factor why sleep is better achieved with it.
Perfect for Couples too?
It is perfect for couples, though, or for people who share a bed, because the mattress will allow you to shift positions on the bed and the other person will not even notice as the mattress will not make any commotion from the shifting.
And with the continuous rise to fame of the memory foam mattress, it is not anymore surprising that its materials are now used for making other household furniture and other fixtures that requires foaming.
With its highly beneficial features and the comfort it guarantees people, not getting a Memory Foam mattress may just cause you more stress and unnecessary anxiety that you can easily get rid of by spending your nights with a trusty memory foam mattress.

Gerald Wallace Fined $5,000 By NBA For Second Flop
Josh Newman, SNYNets.com
The Brooklyn Nets officially lead the NBA in anti-flopping fines.
On Wednesday afternoon, Gerald Wallace was fined $5,000 for a second violation of the NBA's anti-flopping rules. The second violation stems from an incident late in the third quarter of a 102-89 loss at the Miami Heat on Dec. 1.
That anti-flopping violation was his second in four games after he received a warning following a seemingly-needless play with 16.4 seconds to go in overtime of a 96-89 win over the New York Knicks on Nov. 26. Wallace stepped in front of a streaking Carmelo Anthony and clearly flopped up around the 3-point line with the Nets up by that 96-89 score.
The Nets are now the only team in the NBA to have two players fined $5,000. Reggie Evans was warned for an incident during the Nets' 102-97 home win over the Boston Celtics on Nov. 15 and was then fined the $5,000 after an incident during a 95-90 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 20.
Under the new anti-flopping rules, a third violation would result in a $10,000 fine. A fourth violation would result in a $15,000 fine, a fifth $30,000, and six or more could lead to a suspension.

THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED - please see Malah's QuickGoTo instead!
Version 0.2 - 17.02.2014
Ever wanted to simply go straight to the VAB/SPH/Tracking Station from flying your ships?
This mod uses blizzy78's wonderful Toolbar mod to add buttons in the flight, VAB, SPH and Tracking Station scenes that allow you to jump between the scenes. And yes, this mod very much requires Toolbar (due to my inexperience with GUIs and most of C#).
This may seem pretty useless to some people, but when I found myself constantly going back to the Space Center just to go to the VAB or the Tracking Station, it was getting tedious having to wait for the Space Center to load, especially since my computer takes about four seconds to do it. That PLUS the loading time of the other scenes was getting a little annoying for me ESPECIALLY since I did it SO many times. So I thought why not just skip through it? This was the easiest solution I could think of. It may help with people who have slower-end computers, more as a convenience mod than anything else.
Currently supports:
- Going from Flight to VAB/SPH/Tracking Station
- Going from VAB to SPH and vice-versa
- Going from Tracking Station to VAB/SPH
Note that because at times you'll have three buttons from this mod (which may be too many on the toolbar!) - never worry though, blizzy's Toolbar actually carries a feature where you can create a folder and organize the buttons!
An example by Roxette
During development I had enabled a button that allowed VAB switch to Tracking Station, but for some reason this caused the player to lose mouse (and keyboard) control of the flight camera. Until I figure out how to fix this, you'll have to endure the old way of going back to the Space Center to get to the Tracking Station (OR just launch something small, and hit the Tracking Station button, if you really wanted to).
Please be gentle, this is my first plugin and my very first dive into C# programming (my only background being C). This plugin has also only been through very light testing (one night's worth), so be wary of any bugs. Please report any bugs!
Download Alternate Icons by 5thHorseman
(Simply download and unpack into the sceneJumper folder and overwrite the current files)
Download Here (Curse)
(source and Toolbar included)
Released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Generic license.Code:0.2 - Added two new buttons: the revert button and the "save and quit" button - Removed "Important" for Toolbar buttons as they were irrelevant - Updated blizzy's Toolbar mod and packaged 0.1 - Released sceneJumper
Powered by blizzy78's Toolbar plugin (comes with the zip file - ensure you don't replace your current Toolbar folder if you have a more recent version!)

The Vent, Part 2
I am still very frustrated about my schooling but I am taking a break from it for the rest of the day. I'll pick it up tomorrow when things have cleared a little bit. I am trying to follow my own advice of taking it one day at a time. In this case I am taking it one hour at a time.
I also realized that if I can't stand the paralegal program that I might be able to get an under-writing job with the help of my sister.
Thank-you Alekx and everyone else for you support. This is my reality right now but the moment seems to already be passing and a new, more calm moment seems to be arriving. This is such a good lesson for me in letting go and just waiting things out and watching what the next moment brings. It's as if the new book I'm reading, Buddhism Is Not What You Think : Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs is reaching out of the pages and teaching and testing me.
Anyway, I'm off to a local coffee shop to meet with the owner on putting up some of my art work there. Plus, some boring errands but hey, those are my reality too!

Leaving the office for an after-work event with no time to go home between desk and dinner? Not to worry. With a simple strategy we like to call "baubles, brights and braids," you can transition from day to night in a matter of minutes. The secret is in how you accessorize your look. With the help from professional beauty genius Elyse Reneau, we'll show how the right piece of statement jewelry, a quick hair change and the addition of a bright lip can turn your basic beauty look into something stunning.
Chunky Strand Necklace + Big Braid + Hot Pink Lip
A messy, undone braid is the perfect complement to a stunning sparkler around the neck. Just gather your hair into a low side pony (it's OK if a few pieces fall out — it's supposed to look a little unkempt), braid about halfway down the length of the pony, and then gently pull the loops to stretch the braid. Complete the look with a pop of bright pink on the lips. We chose L'Oréal Extraordinaire by Colour Riche in Fuchsia Orchestra.
Drop Earrings + Ballerina Bun + Punchy Coral Lip
An eye-catching pair of drop earrings is a surefire way to take any look from day to night, especially when paired with the right hair and makeup. A standout set of earrings needs to be shown off, so pull hair up in a ballerina bun. Simply twist your tresses into a bun on the top of your head and pin in place with a few bobby pins. For the finishing touch, add a glossy coral lip like L'Oréal Extraordinaire by Colour Riche in Rose Melody.
Statement Bib Necklace + Pulled Back Braids + Bright Orange Lip
A beautiful bib necklace looks effortlessly chic peeking out from under a cascade of loose waves. All you really need is a statement-making lip color to take it to the next level. To add a little bit more of a style to your hair, braid a small section on each side and secure them in the back of your head. Then just swipe on L'Oréal Extraordinaire by Colour Riche in Orange Tempo and you'll be ready to hit the town.
Which look is your favorite? Sound off in the comments below!
P.S. Love these looks (especially the Coco Rocha for BaubleBar jewels)? Well you're in luck — tomorrow we're giving away the baubles and brights you see here!

By Kristy Wolski
SAN DIEGO (KSWB/CNN) - Hidden treasures discovered at San Diego State University lead to a full scale archaeological expedition.
Behind the brick and mortar at SDSU are murals dating back to the 1930s and painted by former art students.
Seth Mallios is currently on a campus wide expedition to find them fitting for a professor of archaeology.
"There's just about no building on campus that I haven't crawled under and over trying to find hidden treasures here. This place is pretty amazing in terms of all the nooks and crannies and there are more treasures to be found," said Mallios.
Nearly nine years ago Mallios discovered the first two murals hiding behind years of white paint.
A lengthy renovation began and now the restored artwork is hanging in the campus library.
"That led to a kind of mural fever on campus where we started finding a bunch more," said Mallios.
The wall is next to the one Mallios hopes to tear apart.
Underneath is an Alice in Wonderland painting from the 1940s. Excavating Alice will cost about $100,000.
Once the money is raised the project will take a couple months.
"We face them by putting all sorts of protective covers on the front and then we chip behind the mural and lift it off the wall. It's expensive its time consuming and its very delicate work. There are no guarantees it's gonna work but the results are pretty spectacular," said Mallios.
This Odysseus painting is also on the list of excavation projects, and Mallios knows there are many more murals on campus just waiting to be found.

Click here to learn more and download this free app!
Here are some common questions from MHP members:
I need to fill a prescription. What should I take to the pharmacy?
Take both your Meridian Health Plan and MiHealth cards to the pharmacy. You should also take personal identification, like a driver's license or state issued identification card, with your picture on it.
MHP does not charge a co-payment for covered medications.
Michigan Medicaid covers some medicine. MHP Members over 21 may have a co-pay if the doctor prescribes one of these medicines. Your co-pay will be $1.00 for generic medicine and $3.00 for brand name medicine. The pharmacy can tell you if a medicine is generic or brand name.
If I paid cash for a medication, how do I receive reimbursement?
If you have paid cash for a medication, please fill out the form below and attach the medication label name, pharmacy receipt and a note describing the reasons for paying cash.
What is a Drug Formulary?
A drug formulary is a list of safe drugs used to treat sick people and improve health. The Meridian Health Plan (MHP) Formulary uses the clinical advice of doctors, pharmacists and other medical experts to come up with this drug list.
Click here for the 2015 Meridian Health Plan Medicaid Formulary
What is a Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM)?
A PBM is a business that works with insurance companies to fill member prescriptions. MeridianRx is the PBM for Meridian Health Plan. MeridianRx also takes care of drug prior authorization (PA) requests for MHP.
What is Prior Authorization (PA)?
The MHP Formulary is a detailed list of safe drugs. There may be times when your doctor prescribes a drug for you that is not in the formulary. Your doctor can fill out a PA request form, giving facts about your medical history and why you need the drug. Note: We must approve the drug before you can fill the prescription.
What happens if the Prior Authorization (PA) is not approved?
MHP and the MeridianRx Formulary Team may deny a drug request for medical reasons. If your doctor's PA request is not approved, you and your doctor will get a letter explaining why. The letter will also explain the appeal process if you and your doctor disagree with the denial.
What is a quantity limit (QL)?
For some drugs, there are limits to how much you can take safely. This limit is based on research from the drug maker and the FDA. The QL is the amount of drug that can be filled safely each month. If your doctor feels that you need more of a medication, he/she must fill out a PA request.
What is Step Therapy?
Step Therapy means that the doctor will prescribe the best-known drug for your condition first. If this drug does not work, another drug may be tried. You must try the first line drug before your doctor can prescribe another drug for the same reason. Your doctor will fill out a PA request form. Your doctor will explain when the drug was used and why the drug did not work.
I have a question about my medicine. What is the MeridianRx phone number?
You can call MeridianRx toll-free at 866-984-6462.

Editorial: Two-year terms the best we can do?
Members of the Florida and U.S. Houses of Representatives serve two-year terms.
That is hardly news and everybody who follows politics and government tends to know that.
Still, a story in our newspaper the other day brought home what those two-year terms can mean.
They spur incumbents to file for re-election as quickly as possible. In the case of brand new House member Ray Rodrigues from Estero, that meant filing for re-election within 24 hours of winning his District 73 seat last fall in an all-Republican primary.
Running for re-election before serving even a day on the job?
It brings up a dynamic back-and-forth on the pros and cons.
Declaring for re-election so soon sends a signal of how serious the incumbent is about his or her job — a good sign. Or is it a strong-arm tactic to use the power of the incumbency for self-preservation?
Does it mean House members are continually running for re-election rather than listening and leading? Or does it keep politicians on their toes and always responsive to constituents?
Extending House members' terms to four years could let them gain insights and skills to get more accomplished. Or would longer terms merely make House members more entrenched and prone to the partisan gridlock that we see marring high-level politics already?
Interest in government is high in Southwest Florida, and veteran observers of the political scene no doubt have more arguments on both sides of the question to add to these starter points.
While we are glad that incumbents are open and frank about their plans, it's time to have a full discussion about this. Perhaps our local political parties in the interest of bipartisanship and good governance might start and nurture it.

Child Life/AD&D Coverage
Full-time faculty and staff may purchase Life and AD&D coverage for their eligible children as long as they purchase at least an equal amount of coverage for themselves. You may choose Life insurance in increments of $2,000 up to a maximum of $10,000. Accident insurance is available in increments of $1,000 up to a maximum of $60,000.
Eligible children include your own natural offspring, lawfully adopted children and stepchildren. They also include foster children and those who are dependent on you for support and living with you in a regular parent-child relationship. Once a child reaches age 19 they must remain unmarried and enrolled in school full-time. They may then be covered until age 25.
Premium paid for child Life/AD&D covers all of your eligible children. The current monthly rate for Child Life is $ .731 per $2,000. The monthly rate for Child AD&D is $.033 per $1,000 of coverage.
