Patient Instructions
Alegent Creighton Health Laboratory Services provides routine adult and pediatric specimen collections for diagnostic testing and screening. In addition to routine blood collection, you may drop off other types of specimens, stool, urine and semen specimens for analysis.
Our skilled staff works diligently to provide each patient with prompt and professional service. We strive to make your experience at the lab as stress-free as possible with conveniently located facilities and hours of operation that accommodate your busy schedule. Our staff is committed to providing a professional environment for each patient during the specimen collection process. If you have any questions, please call our Customer Service Department at 402-717-5227 and we will be happy to assist you.
Where can I have my blood drawn or drop off a specimen?
Alegent Creighton Health Laboratory Services offers primary and secondary patient service centers at many convenient metro Omaha and regional locations for specimen collection or drop off.
Patient Service Centers
We offer three Primary Patient Service Centers for your convenience. If you visit one of these centers, you will receive reference laboratory pricing.
Secondary Service Centers
As an alternative, you may visit one of the Secondary Service Centers located at hospital diagnostic centers to have your lab work drawn, or to drop off a specimen. Please bring with you a laboratory requisition. Click here for examples of laboratory requisitions accepted at the Primary and Secondary Service centers.
What items do I need to take to the Alegent Creighton Health Patient Service Center specimen collection lab?You should bring with you the following information:
- A laboratory requisition provided to you by your health care professional requesting laboratory testing. Click here to see examples of requisitions that can be submitted to the reference laboratory.
- A current insurance card (Medicare, Private Insurance or HMO/PPO)
- A photo ID (for example, a driver's license or state issued identification card) Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.
If you are bringing a minor to a specimen collection lab and you are not that minor's legal guardian, you may need to bring a notarized statement signed by a parent or legal guardian authorizing you to give permission for the collection and billing of the tests ordered by the minor's doctor.
Are appointments required?
Appointments are not required. Walk-ins are welcome. However, our locations are generally busiest from opening until 10:00 AM. If fasting is not required for your test, you may wish to come during off- peak hours.
What should I expect when I have a lab test?
Your role in the performance of a lab test is to provide a specimen that will be analyzed in a laboratory. The specimen you provide might be blood or urine or stool. You can be assured that Alegent staff will make the specimen collection process as safe, quick, and comfortable as possible while safeguarding your dignity and privacy. When visiting your physician, ask what test is being performed, why the test needs to be done, what you can expect the procedure to be like, when you can expect to hear about your test results, and how the test results will affect the course of your care.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare for a lab test?Sometimes special preparation is required to improve the accuracy of a test. This may involve fasting (not eating any or certain foods) for several hours or even overnight, drinking more or less water than usual, or avoiding certain medications or vitamin and herbal supplements before the test. If you are delivering a specimen to the lab, there might be special instructions for transporting the specimen. Your physician should provide you with written instructions for preparing for your test. Follow those instructions exactly as they are written. If you are not certain if special preparation is required, or if you have questions about the instructions you were given, contact your physician's office. If you did not follow the test preparation instructions you received from your physician, let the staff at the specimen collection lab know about this before your specimen is collected.
Who will report my test results to me?
The physician who ordered the test or a member of his or her office staff will contact you regarding your test results. If you contact the laboratory, we will be limited in what information we can provide to you regarding your lab tests. It is best if you contact your physician with any questions you may have.
How soon can I expect to receive my test results?
Depending on the complexity of the test being performed, it could take as little time as a few hours to as much as several days before your results are available. When visiting your physician, ask your physician how soon he or she expects your test results to be available and how long you should wait before contacting the office if you have not received any news about your test results. Can I order my own tests directly from Alegent Creighton Health Laboratory Services? Lab testing must be ordered by a licensed health care professional or authorized designee.

text: Looks like you have a tee with 2 3/8" compression fittings. The best thing to do, IMO, is remove both of these water lines and buy yourself the appropriate length braided stainless steel flex connectors. You can find them labeled in the home store for a dishwasher and for a faucet. Usually the only 2 variables will be the connection size to the shutoff (either 3/8" or 1/2", most, including yours from the look of it, are 3/8"), and the length of the line. If its labeled for a dishwasher, it should have the appropriate end connection or an adapter to make the connection to the d/w. The faucet end of those lines is standard size, any that's labeled for a faucet should work. Just don't get one of the "toilet" ones or something and you'll be fine.

Everyone who wrote in is getting a copy of the latest in the The Fast & The Furious franchise: Fast Five. I have to admit that this was the first movie I've gone to see on opening night since Spaceballs , and it was well worth it. It's five times the action, excitement, and fun, as Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reunite with the stars from all the sequels to pull off one last job worth $100 million — but with a determined U.S. strike force fed (Dwayne "TheRock" Johnson) and a ruthless drug kingpin hot on their trail. It's available for Blu-ray and DVD on October 4.
Now That's Customer Service!
My loving family bought me Rockcrusher diff covers for my '04 Ram 4x4 about a year ago, but one of the diff covers did not have the threads cut in the drain plug. The seller said I took too long to complain and wouldn't help. Dangit!
I emailed Rockcrusher…which promptly replied, "Very sorry; their error; please send back COD and we'll send you a better cover and pay shipping both ways." Admittedly, I was skeptical. Four days after I sent the diff cover back to them, I received an anodized replacement! And two days after that I got the check for the COD. I was ready to wait weeks and perhaps see nothing at all. The best way to see if someone sells a good product is if they can afford to support it.
Rockcrusher kicks booty! Have no concern buying from them. There are people on their end!!!

Ranger Vs. Tacoma? Tacoma
My friends and I have had this discussion a 1,000 times! Should you go Ranger or Tacoma? My first truck was an '89 Ranger. My last two trucks were Toyotas. My best friend, Court, is on his 4th Ranger. (also green stickered, not street legal). So, I have seen both in action for the last 13 years. I have a lot of hours racing in the I-beam truck Ranger. I also have a lot of hours in the A-arm Toyota. We have put a lot of testing and fabrication time in both vehicles.
First off, I have to give the Ranger an A+ rating on going straight, wide-open throttle thru the desert. In big mean whoop sections going straight, the I-Beam Ranger will soak it up beautifully. This is because the amount of travel you can get in the front end. Unless you have a center-mounted A-arm truck, you will never achieve the travel that a Ranger I-beam will give you. The handling in a Ranger though, is not great versus an A-arm truck.
And this is where the discussion gets heated! I will give the Toyota an A- rating on handling and overall ability. They are generally lighter and easier to drive in certain sections of the desert. This is where I have doubts about the I-beam Ranger. The cornering and handling can be awful in a Ranger! Depending on your shock set up, you will come in to a corner and the front end will lift up during cornering. This is because I-beams cycle a certain way. It lifts in sand dunes if you are going over a steep peak (which makes it very hard to see what's on the other side). It is also sloppier and we noticed more flat tires with the I-beam when racing. This is because the sidewall tends to be more exposed as the suspension drops out.
I am not bagging on the Ranger. Some of the best trucks I ever co-piloted were Rangers. Budget also plays a role for many people. You will get tons of travel for a cheap price with the Ranger. But Wait! Do you want equal length? How far do you want to go in your build? The stock steering is kind of scary if you leave it stock on a Ranger I-Beam. So now, suddenly your cheap travel gets more expensive if you want to do it the safer and right way. The cost of the two are close to the same when you consider that. So, the Toyota will corner and handle better, and the Ranger will soak up mean whoops better.
I want to end this with the same point I always make to my friends when we discuss this. How many Trophy Trucks are I-Beam? How many short-course trucks are I-beam? Not many. The best in the industry with the most money use A-arm suspension. That clearly tells you what is preferred and what works the best. (This is why I think I am right...lol) If you want to just go straight, as fast as you can in the desert for fun, get an I-beam. If you want good cornering and better over-all handling, go Tacoma. In the end, all that matters is that you go to the desert with your friends and have fun! They both work well.
Thanks guys keep up the awesome work with the magazine!

"Doctor approved, Post-Surgery Protein Source"
Eric on 11/30/2013 9:17:27 PM
Review: I recently had Bariatric Surgery, to reduce the size of my stomach and help me win my life-long battle with morbid obesity. Low-fat protein is a very important component of my post-surgery meals. Not only does this Salmon Bacon taste great, 2 slices and an egg provide a high-protein, low-fat meal that my smaller stomach can comfortably hold. The fish oil is a bonus. Both my doctor and dietitian approve of this bacon being a staple in my post-surgery meal planning. In addition, my dietitian, who said that she had not heard of Salmon Bacon before now, asked me to bring a Vital Choice catalog to my next follow-up appointment. I also include your canned and frozen Salmon in my meal planning, as alternatives to red meat, chicken, and pork.
"Outstanding Bacon"
Eric on 9/9/2013 9:35:09 AM
Review: This salmon bacon is GREAT! The flavor and texture are outstanding and it goes very well with eggs. After receiving and tasting my initial order of 1 package, I immediately reordered 6 packages. This bacon is now a "Must Have" food item for me.
Angie on 2/12/2013 5:04:20 PM
Review: Decided to have breakfast for dinner so that I could try the Salmon Bacon....delicious. Just the right amount of smoky maple flavor. I'll definitely order again. Wish it came in smaller packages so that I didn't have to thaw the entire pack.

Review: I just received my order and it was perfectly frozen. I thawed out a package overnight in the fridge; pan fried it the next morning in a tablespoon of oil, as the directions stated and it was delicious. I will reorder again.

"Salmon bacon"
Donna Richardson on 11/9/2012 11:05:21 AM
Review: Wanted to order. Sodium at 507 is very disappointing. Blood pressure would shoot up.
VITAL CHOICE COMMENT: Thank you for your comments. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, says: "Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease."
At 507mg, the amount of sodium per 2 oz serving of our Salmon Bacon is just over 1/5 of that maximum, and just over 1/3 of 1,500mg.
People's sensitivity to sodium in terms of blood pressure varies widely, and the available evidence suggests that the risks of sodium remain much less clear than commonly believed.

Street Fighter and Tekken (SFxT), arguably the two biggest franchises in the fighting game genre, have spent the past 20 years being worlds apart. One is the benchmark for all 2D fighters; the other is the pinnacle of 3D fighting games. Now, thanks to a partnership between Capcom and Namco, we get to see them both on even ground in the ultimate battle for supremacy.
SFxT is a massive game and will undoubtedly please fans of both series. That aspect is the one thing that I feel Capcom should truly be commended for accomplishing: the game stays true to and honors both series despite the huge differences that exist between them. Many were worried whether the Tekken-aspect of the game could be adapted to a 2D plane; well it has been and it was done so in a fantastic fashion.
The gameplay mechanics of the game is an ingenious blend of Street Fighter 4 and the Tekken Tag Tournament series. Depending on which side of the roster you choose your character, their skills and abilities will reflect their roots. Capcom has meticulously crafted the offensive (and defensive) arsenals of the roster in a manner that makes them accessible to all players, regardless of their series loyalties. Everyone on the Street Fighter side of things feels and plays exactly as fans would expect them to; strangely, the same could be said for the Tekken side of things. The resulting game is a unique hybrid of the two games which is as fun to play is it is impressive to see in action.
Fighting looks and feels a lot like Street Fighter 4; everything is anchored in the 2D plane with a focus on both landing special moves and stinging together attack combinations. The Street Fighters have the same moves you know and love from their previous appearances, although there have been some changes made to their command inputs which will take some adjusting for veterans. For example, Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku, better known as her patented Lightning Legs Kick, is no longer performed by rapidly tapping the kick buttons. The input has been changed to a half circle forward with a kick button; you can then proceed to tap the kick buttons for additional hits.
Small changes such as this have been made to help craft a more intricate and methodical combo system which is a combination of old-school style move linking and what the game refers to as the Cross Rush system. Basic attacks can be strung together in any combination as long as they proceed from weak to stronger; this mechanic ties in heavily with the tag team mechanics which are taken directly from the Tekken Tag series. This isn't a Marvel vs. Capcom 3; this isn't about learning a series of pre-programmed combinations that every player will learn and utilize. The new system is about knowing your characters moves and reading your opponent's. The result is a much slower combat system that in turn creates more intense and methodical battles.
Aside from the tag mechanics, which we will discuss here shortly, another gameplay element lifted heavily from the Tekken universe is the concept of juggling your opponents. If you want to be successful in defeating your opponents, you are going to have to keep them off of their feet and that doesn't always mean that they need to be on the ground. The characters have a bit of a "floaty" feel to them both in their control and their response to being hit. This may feel awkward for SF fans but Tekken players will feel right at home. This "floatiness" gives you a chance to string together multiple attacks and juggle the characters through the air. Failure to master this concept will put you at a serious disadvantage and is the one thing that Tekken players have going for their selves when starting out with this game.
Obviously, the tag mechanics that I have mentioned weigh heavily into the formula of the game as well. Your teams are just that, teams, and the must operate succeed as a single unit in order to survive. This game isn't about the process of elimination; if one of your characters falls in battle, your team loses. A lot of people will complain about this aspect but it truly promotes a "smarter" approach to your fights. You really need to think about your every action and reaction or else the entire team will suffer.
Just know going into the game that there is a slight learning curve for both sides of the fence, but having familiarity with one over the other will not put you at a disadvantage. The game will teach you a bit about the side that you aren't familiar with and in the end we will all be better fighting-gamers as a result. There are tons of other gameplay mechanics that are introduced in this game, but this is a review and not a how-to guide on how to succeed in the world of SFxT. Although, I would be remised if I didn't at least mention the gem system Capcom has crafted to enhance battles.
I was worried, when the system was first revealed, that the power gems of the game would really alter the tides of battle but that isn't the case. The gems, and there are a lot of them, simply serve as a means of emphasizing and tweaking your play-styles. There are means to boosting one's offense or defense slightly, as well as effects for both the super bar usage and gameplay speed. The gem benefits fall so naturally into the battle scheme that you don't even notice that they are there, but you will surely notice when they aren't.
In the end, the gems system really serves to add some much appreciated customization to the game and the chance to make your characters and teams truly "yours". The game also let you do this visually as well thanks to the character edit mode which allows you to tweak and adjust the various colors associated with each characters costumes. Unfortunately, the palette available currently for visual customization is fairly limited though Capcom has expressed an interest in expanding this (for free) in the future. Even with the 4-color limitation currently in place, you can really add some variety to the visual appeal of each of the game's characters.
As if we really needed a reason to do so, Capcom has set a stage for this epic battle in the form of Pandora. The game's story is based heavily around a mysterious box, known as the Pandora, which was discovered in Antarctica. Various factions and groups across the globe are scrambling to lay claim to this mysterious box and the power that it apparently possesses. This progression of this storyline is played out across the game's main arcade mode, and it will branch into a variety of directions depending on the team of characters that you opt to play with. Ultimately, it doesn't matter who you choose for your team, but certain character combinations feature their own unique storyline that plays out throughout a series of battle. Playing as a combination of Cammy and Chun-Li or perhaps Paul and Law will present you with a character specific story based around each of those pairs rather than combinations of Cammy and Law or Chun-Li and Paul. Each of the preset teams also features their own unique pre- / post-match interactions which are thoroughly entertaining.
The arcade mode isn't your only option for play though. The game gives players plenty of areas to put the gameplay mechanics I discussed earlier to use too. Few fighting games have been made which feature as many modes as this one. SFxT gives you the option of playing through in the following ways:
with your friends cooperatively online and offline
against your friends competitively online and offline
trial modes that test your proficiency with each character (20 trials per character)
mission modes that challenge you to battle it out with characters of your choosing under strict conditions and match requirements
endless training mode for you to master you characters and teams both alone and with friends
tutorial stages designed to teach you the ins and outs of the this new, hybrid SF/Tekken gameplay system
There is a ton to do and spending time in each of the areas really works to your benefit as it will mold you into a better player. I am a huge fan of this education directional that Capcom has been taking its fighting games and SFxT does it better than any one yet.
As great as the game is it practically falls apart when you take it online. First off, the matchmaking infrastructure behind the game is really unreliable. IT can take forever to find a match using the game's ranked match feature, or unranked for that matter. The game constantly sends back "unable to find match" errors or hangs on the searching screen regardless of the time of day that you are playing. The most reliable means of playing against someone online is to either send an invite directly to your friends or activate the game's fight request feature while playing offline. Thankfully, the fight request feature works extremely well and once you get paired up with someone online, things play out pretty well. I have not had too many lag or disconnect issues thus far in the game and the system seems to be reliable when you finally get connected.
Although the gameplay holds together online, it is too bad that the same thing cannot be said for the game's audio performance; for some strange reason, when you play online the sound effects of the game go to complete hell, and I mean that literally. The sound effects and voices of the characters constantly skip and often disappear altogether. It all plays fine, but it sounds completely broken. Capcom has
officially acknowledged
the issue and states that while they are looking into improving things, they feel that it is simply a matter of give and take for the gameplay performance. In order to ensure quality gameplay sessions, there has to be some sacrifices made in other areas, and in this case, sound. That is a funny response considering that I have seen better matchmaking experiences and performances in other games such as MvC3 and SF4 without having any sound issues.
Another complaint that I have about the game, which some may consider extremely superficial, is the lack of any sort of gallery mode to view the various art and movies that you experience along the way. With this sort of game, that type of feature should be a no-brainer at this point. Especially considering that Capcom has put as much effort as they have into crafting a detailed storyline and reimagining as many Tekken characters as they have, you would think that they would want to show it off. The video clips in particular, including the opening movie and the various character endings, are very well done. How difficult would it have been to give players access to them from a sub-menu in the options screen? This is something that Capcom has done repeatedly in the past but for some reason they have elected not to add one here. Although it is a simple concept, it could have added a lot to the SFxT experience.
These sorts of things can be forgiven though but ultimately they do bring down the overall experience in the end. The game is still a complete joy to play and the amount of love shown to both series throughout the game will surely put a smile on the faces of fans everywhere. In addition to an incredibly varied roster that is essentially a who's-who of both series, the different backgrounds and storylines are chock full of cameo appearances from other characters from both worlds. You can see Yun, Yang, Mecha-Zangief, Haggar, and practically the entire Mad Gear gang scattered throughout the various backgrounds as well as Alex the dinosaur and Kunimitsu; regardless of which series you are familiar with, there is plenty to pick out in the backgrounds of nearly every stage.
Street Fighter x Tekken is a phenomenal addition to the fighting game genre. Capcom has gone above and beyond all expectations in terms of meeting the wants and needs of fans of both series. While they did a great job nailing the core gameplay aspects, they neglected to include some basic features and items that most gamers have come to expect in a title such as this. In terms of actual gameplay experience, this could easily be considered the best fighting game on the market right now and it might be the go-to game on the competitive scene for the foreseeable future. It's too bad that things as simple as including a gallery mode or working out sound issues online persist which will keep it from being as great as it could be.

Jitsu wins on that photo alone.
Jitsu for sure!

Jitsu for me!
Top Ten MOTUC wants Sagitar, Lizard Man, Tung Lashor, Mermista, Sssqueeze, Ninjor, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Peekablue
Rockinhard, do you have a Giant Tournament bracket somewhere with all of these matchups?
Whiplash for sure. He's pretty much perfect. Jitsu wasn't the most exciting design to begin with, and the bizarre shrunken head doesn't help either.
By the ancients!!!
Lich Leech feedback thread
Jitsu, Hands (karate chop) down!
Jitsu, even though the sword holder thing is an absolutely crap design.
Crap...both are villains and I owned both as a kid. I guess I'll go with Whiplash since he's a bit more visually interesting to me than Jitsu.

"It is not by reasoning or by our understanding that we have received our religion; it is by external authority and command."-Michel De Montaigne
Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Skeletor's Hover Robots 2) Sssqueeze 3) Tung Lashor 4) Stridor 5) Night Stalker 6) Lizard Man 7) Battle Ram (back half) 8) Roton 9) Multi-Bot 10) Ninjor 11) Dragstor 13) Blast-Attak 14) Saurod 15) Gwildor 16) Snake Mountain 17) TC Skeletor 18) FF He-Man 19) Karg
Action heroes and villains are more likely to have tails than a larger than normal fist.
Hence, Jitsu gets my vote for being the more original concept.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete

Whiplash was my least favorite 200x remake. In MOTUC, he's perfection.

By Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi,
Special to McClatchy-Tribune
When the American people asked in November for a new direction at home and abroad, Democrats heard their call. In our first 100 days at work, we have answered with great strides to increase our government's transparency, our nation's security and our workers' paychecks.
In one of the year's first orders of business, both chambers of Congress passed the most significant ethics-reform legislation in more than 20 years, changing the way
We are making
We are also giving American workers a long overdue raise by increasing the minimum wage for the first time in more than a decade. While the cost of gas, food and health care -- and lawmakers' salaries -- all increased, the minimum wage stayed the same.
Congress is also spending tax dollars more responsibly. In passing the first budget in two years, we put middle-class families first, cutting taxes while putting more dollars into education, children's health care and our veterans.
Perhaps our most critical job is to work with the Bush administration to change course in
Democrats believe we must transition the mission in
Democrats in Congress want to sit down with the president to talk about the best way to both fully fund our troops and move forward in
Congress is also heeding the call of the people in other ways not quantifiable by legislation. We take seriously our responsibility to offer citizens a government that is accountable for its actions
The shameful conditions at
We also believe the American people deserve the truth about the White House's involvement in the firing of federal prosecutors. The American people should know whether their justice system was manipulated for political reasons, and Congress will continue to demand answers from the administration
Democrats have made real progress in these 100 days, but there is much more to be done. We will continue restoring accountability, responsiveness and productivity to Congress, and will continue to ask the tough questions, because it is what the American people demand and deserve.
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., is the Senate majority leader and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is speaker of the House.

Post subject: My next costume project
I have been milling over the possibilities of my next Star Wars costume, but have been unable to make a decision as of yet.
Since I would like to support our base as much as possible, I wanted to see what you guys thought about the different costumes I had in mind and possibly which of them could serve our base the best.
First, I was considering Carth Onasi from Knights of the Old Republic. I really like the look of the outfit, and I could easily look like him in build and in the face. However, I also know that KOTOR has pretty much run its course, and it may not have a big enough following for Carth to be a "face character" for events.
Second, I thought about doing a pilot costume. A friend of mine has a 90% complete A-Wing pilot and will be joining as soon as it is complete. I could be another A-Wing pilot, especially since he could give me pointers. I also thought about a Y-wing pilot.
Third, I thought about going for the classic rebel trooper. It is a recognizable costume, and is great for groups. I also know there is a lot of reference and tutorials for it.
They each have their pros and cons; I just can't settle on one of them. Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated.

I can help w/ the RFT
I don't play KOTOR, so I'm not even sure what that one is, and we DO need pilots in this base (Gs and I both have perpetual 'in process' x-wing projects, but they're not going anywhere fast given our kid situation and my clone wars projects). From what I've followed here, the A-Wing pilots there's not a lot of good info so if you've got the inside scoop why not...
Though I'd love another RAID/35th SOC member too... so that's my politician answer

Either Pilot, both A's and Y's are on the rise and Dantooine needs a Squadron! (And you only need TWO more pilots to form!)

yeah, just two out of three
You should just do both... RFT is way cheap, I can make all of it for you except the helmet (for the cost of parts, which are not much separately).

After much consideration, I think I have come to a decision on what would be best.
Since my friend Greg will be done with his A-wing pilot costume soon and will register into our base, I think it would be best for our squadron if we had a Y-wing pilot. I enjoyed flying Y-wings in Rogue Squadron for Gamecube while Greg always flew A-wing. We have that connection from years back, and I think it fits well to form a good squadron of our own.
I didn't know the Rebel Trooper was so cheap to make, so I will definitely throw in for that as well.
So far, I found the tutorials for the RFT, and where I can get a gray jumpsuit for the Y-Wing. However, any links, pictures, or advice on making these two costumes would be greatly appreciated.
On a similar note, I will be bringing in several New Republic Jedi into our base after the 22nd of November. My groomsmen of my wedding have custom made jedi costumes in various tones of gray and a small amount of black. This will bring in at least 5 more members for us, and I my even convince them to be Rebel Troopers with me as well depending on how cheaply we can make the costumes.
Thank you for all your support!
FYI - here is a pic of Carth for those who don't know him.

Here's my 'laundry list' of about what I paid for RFT parts - each of these were things that can be purchased in 'batches', not a lot of huge outlays like buying large armor kits or other big items:
Shirts ~$30 (though w/ surplus closeouts on these now, there are some folks getting them cheaper)
BDU for vest ~$15, though I can get them for about $10 if I watch the out in style sale newsletters.
Belt Material ~$20 at Tandy Leather (and they're kind of on the high end)
Pants ~$25, and these are worn right out of the box
Gun ~$20 for the Nerf gun and paint
Boots ~$50 - these fluctuate greatly depending on how hard you look and how rare your size is... but they're used for pilot costumes as well...
Helmet ~$70 for unassembled kit and misc supplies to finish it. Don't know if these same kits are available though; there are others though.
That comes to about $250, and you can do it very well over time... Let me know if you ever want help!

Thanks for all the info guys!
I am excited to do these projects, and with this arsenal of information, I am confident that I can do it to the best of my ability.
I will mention, though, that RL definitely needs more tutorials from its members. Tutorials would make things much easier on new members. I can promise everyone here that while building these costumes, I will be writing a tutorial as I go and taking plenty of pics.
Thanks again!

The county is asking its citizens to become involved in focusing on keeping safe at home and at work, Health Officer Joseph Iser said.
"Because the summer season is traditionally a time of increased accidental injuries and fatalities, it's an appropriate time to focus attention on injury risks and preventions," Iser said in a statement last week.
Each week during National Safety Month, the national council will present a specific focus on a critical safety issue we face every day.
For the week of June 10-16, the council will focus on ergonomics.
Ergonomics is the science of designing safe, comfortable and efficient work areas that prevent injury, fatigue and overexertion.
We all have had those difficult days when work requires us to sit far too long to finish that required project or to hit a deadline, or we have been given a desk, chair and cubicle that doesn't quite fit our legs, arms and physical needs. When this happens, we feel the effects right away — driving home with sore shoulders and a headache.
Apparently, these body aches are not just in our minds.
Ergonomic conditions are disorders of the soft tissues, specifically the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, blood vessels and spinal discs.
These conditions are often caused by factors such as overexertion while lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, reaching, or stretching; repetitive motions; working in awkward positions; sitting or standing too long in one position; using excessive force; vibration; resting on sharp corners or edges; and temperature extremes.
It's important not to forget those 10-minute breaks or to stop work for a short walk around the office. It's easy to do and could save your health in the long run.
I remember working for a division of the state. Twice every day, the office emptied out and everyone took a 10-minute walk outside. We talked, cleared our heads of work and moved our legs enough to carry on once we got back inside.
And, while injuries can occur from activities on the job such as working on an assembly line, using heavy equipment or typing on a computer, they also can result from activities at home, such as playing video games, helping someone move, participating in hobbies such as sewing or through home repair projects.
Knowing the signs of adverse ergonomic conditions, if caught early, can prevent injury and reduce health care costs.
The county health district encourages those interested to visit the National Safety Council's website at www.nsc.org/nsc_events/Nat_Safe_Month/Pages/home.aspx to learn more about safety issues and tips on how to prevent unnecessary injuries.
Other topics discussed during National Safety Month include employee wellness; preventing slips, trips, and falls; and driving safety.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER/The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a surprise that sent the stock market soaring, the Federal Reserve concluded Wednesday that the U.S. economy isn't yet healthy enough for the central bank to ease its stimulus even slightly.

The Fed's cautious message pleased investors, who had expected a slight cut in the bond purchases that have kept long-term interest rates low as the nation recovers from the Great Recession. Wall Street celebrated the prospect of continued low interest rates by lifting stocks to a record high.
In a statement after a policy meeting, the Fed signaled it has no set timetable for reducing the stimulus, which has stood at $85 billion a month for the last year.
Chairman Ben Bernanke explained later at a news conference that there are good reasons to be cautious:
• The Fed has yet to see conclusive evidence that the job market and economy are approaching full health.
• Mortgage rates have surged, and the bond purchases are needed to hold those rates down and keep home buying affordable for ordinary people.
• A budget stalemate in Congress and the threat of a government shutdown as soon as next month are holding back growth and putting the economy at risk.
"Conditions in the job market today are still far from what all of us would like to see," Bernanke said.
Stocks spiked immediately after the Fed released its statement at the end of its two-day policy meeting. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 147 points, or 1 percent.
The Fed's decision to maintain the pace of its purchases raised hopes for lower rates on bonds and consumer and business loans. Bond yields sank. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.71 percent from 2.85 percent, the biggest one-day drop in nearly two years.
Since May, when Bernanke first signaled that the Fed could reduce its bond purchases this year, average rates on long-term fixed mortgages have climbed more than a full percentage point to near two-year highs. The average on the 30-year mortgage is at 4.57 percent, according to Freddie Mac.
There are signs that higher mortgage rates have made it harder for people to afford homes at a time when the rebound in the housing market has been a key pillar for the economy.
The Fed lowered its economic growth forecasts slightly for this year and next year. It predicts that the economy will grow just 2 percent to 2.3 percent this year, down from its forecast in June of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent.
Next year's economic growth will be a barely healthy 3 percent, the Fed predicts.
The Fed's policymakers expect the unemployment rate to fall to between 7.1 percent and 7.3 percent by the end of 2013, slightly below its June forecast of 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. It predicts that unemployment will fall as low as 6.4 percent next year, down from 6.5 percent in its June forecast.
In its statement, the Fed noted that rising mortgage rates and government spending cuts are restraining growth. It repeated a plan to keep key short-term rates near zero at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent from the current 7.3 percent. The Fed's short-term rate indirectly affects many consumer and business loans.
"We're in a slow-growth economy with high unemployment and low inflation," said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. "There's no specific catalyst for the Fed to remove stimulus."
