Paul McCartney played a concert at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., on July 16. And it should be no surprise that the crowd wanted very badly to hear "Kansas City," a song done by the Beatles and sung by McCartney, guitarist Brian Ray told Beatles Examiner. "I think we saw signs that they'd pay $100 if he'd just sing that song," Ray said in a phone interview."
McCartney did the song in the first encore. Ray says that that from a singing standpoint he did an amazing job. "He killed the vocal singing B-flats and C's in full voice. Those are notes in the scale that happen to very high for a man," he explained. "With B-flats and C's, I'm talking about screaming like a demon in full voice with control. It's kind of crazy."
Brenda Spencer, who attended, said the show was great. "K.C. was the best so far!," she said. "He was so happy, animated and feeding off the audience. A woman threw a pair of panties on stage. He looked at it, bent over and picked them up and said, 'Is this like a Tom Jones show now?'"
"He claimed it was the first time ever for that to happen to him," said Jennie Swenton, who also attended. "He later made a show of handing the item to one of the road crew."
Swenton said McCartney was joking with the crowd. "Being in Kansas City, he said, 'Go Chiefs!,' which was met with first cheers, then boos. He said he had checked to see. 'It's just the Chiefs, right?" He seemed surprised that the audience wasn't all Chiefs fans.
"He also said we're in Kansas City, Missouri, right? Paused, pointed and said, 'And that's Kansas City, Kansas over there, right?" He asked how many were from Missouri and there was a big cheer. Then he asked how many were from Kansas and there was a bigger cheer.
"Knew it was going to be special when my wife and I were able to see him arrive at the Sprint Center," said Terry McCulley. "It was an excellent show. His voice was in great shape. Paul and band brought the house down. It doesn't get any better than that."
"I thought the show was tremendous," said Darrell Lea. "The band played everything superbly, and the connection between performer and artist was solid all night long. Paul set foot on stage at 8:40 and walked off for the last time at 11:25. I saw his show in '76, '90, '93 and last night. This most recent one just might be my favorite."
Ray says the resumption of the tour with McCartney has gone superbly. "As reflected in the reviews of our latest shows, Paul's been in fine fettle, in top form as if he's 28 years old. And we're all happy for it."
The Kansas City show was the last show for a few weeks. The tour resumes Aug. 2 at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Here's what the complete official set list for this show as reported by Paul McCartney's press office looked like: (changes from Lincoln, Neb. in bold): "Eight Days a Week," "Save Us," "All My Loving," "Listen to What the Man Said," "Let Me Roll It," "Paperback Writer," "My Valentine," "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five," "The Long and Winding Road," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "I've Just Seen a Face," "We Can Work It Out," "Another Day," "And I Love Her."
Next, there was "Blackbird," "Here Today," "NEW," "Queenie Eye," "Lady Madonna," "All Together Now," "Lovely Rita," "Everybody Out There," "Eleanor Rigby," and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite."
Finally, there was "Something," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Band on the Run," "Back in the U.S.S.R.," "Let It Be," "Live and Let Die," "Hey Jude." Encore: "Day Tripper," "Kansas City" (*replaced "Hi, Hi, Hi"), "I Saw Her Standing There. Encore 2: "Yesterday," "Helter Skelter," "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End."

I've seen alot of people post pics of Glocks with stainless steel (or what appears to be stainless steel) slides, giving the Glock a wonderful two-tone look. Can anyone tell me where they got them from? Approximate cost? Thanks much.

I've seen alot of people post pics of Glocks with stainless steel (or what appears to be stainless steel) slides, giving the Glock a wonderful two-tone look. Can anyone tell me where they got them from? Approximate cost? Thanks much.
I saw one like you describe up real close at a Gun show. The guy was buying it was being told it was a custom job and was paying extra for it. It was simply a bead blasted clean slide was all it was. Not saying they all are but... you can simply bead blast one and perhaps even go so far as spray it with Norrell moly resin SS finish and get that exact look. Cheap too.
Here ya go
The true Stainless steel Glock slides are being made by Caspian Arms.
Brownell's normally sells them as a catalog item but, they are out of stock right now.
High-quality, drop-in replacement slide lets you give your Glock the functional improvements of a custom, competition pistol without having to buy another complete gun. Build a "racegun" top end for competition, then swap in the original factory slide for duty, concealed carry, or home defense use. Or, simply give an otherwise stock pistol an eye-catching, two-tone look. All slides come with polished sides and matte, anti-reflection top; aggressive, forward-slanting cocking serrations improve purchase when hand is wet or sweaty. Precision machined from a 416 stainless steel forging to narrower tolerances than factory slides for a tighter fit, more consistent lockup and improved accuracy. Heat-treated after machining to Rc 37-41 for improved strength. Pre-cut rear sight dovetail and front sight hole accept sights designed to fit factory cuts. Due to tighter tolerances, slide may require minor deburring and fitting to fit some frames.
SPECS: 416 stainless steel, natural finish.
I would give you the Caspian Arms link but they seem to be having some problems with their web site right now.
QK is correct. Caspian is the only company I know of doing true stainless steel slides for glocks. Caspian's website seems to be working fine now:
Also, there are quite a few companies that will hard chrome a glock slide. Looks fairly similar to stainless. This company as well as many other does it. I just decided to link this one because they have quite a few pics of two tone glocks:
and here a few more that do good hard chroming:
Concerning "precision machine work" - the factory Glock slides are pretty doggone impressive.
That is some dang nice machine work if you really study a Glock slide.
SO even though Caspian does beautiful work (also) I can't see why a Glock owner wouldn't go the Hard Chrome plating route.
Glock precision machine tolerances are pretty tight already.
But, I sure won't stop anybody from buying a Stainless slide if they want one.
Just think...if you bought an aftermarket metal alloy frame and a Stainless Caspian slide....fit with a Bar-Sto barrel....you would have a Glock that wasn't a Glock. :biggrin2:
Hey thanks much, this is exactly what I was looking for. If I did send one of my Glocks to get worked on, do you know how I would go about shipping it? Is there some sort of restriction when shipping a firearm that it must be FFL to FFL? Thanks again for all of your help.
I was looking at the Caspian website... man, that would be a cool-looking Glock: black polymer frame, shiny stainless steel slide!
Their copy says this, though: "Caspian Custom Glock slides are made to tight tolerances for maximum performance. Because of permissible dimensional variations in your frame and other components minor massaging and de-burring may be necessary. We suggest that you consult a qualified Glock Armorer to install and assemble the slide. If you return a slide that proves to be "in spec" we will require a 15% restocking fee."
Any comments on the reliability of such a pairing? When they're talking about tighter tolerances, I start worrying about failures to feed/go into battery/eject... All the things we typically don't have to worry about with stock Glocks because of the fairly loose tolerances...
Would this slide have the potential to turn a Glock into a gun you'd be afraid to depend on for CCW?
I have two Glocks with hard chrome finish on the slide, applied over the standard factory finish. It looks just like stainless steel and works great - hard chrome is probably the most durable and scratch resistant finish available for pistols.
I had one done by Tripp in Texas - the whole process including shipping both ways was about $100. The other was done by Arotek in Washington state and was on the gun when I bought it used.
They don't have the stainless but lots of other neat things can be done to a glock. Saving my pennies to get somethings done to my G30 :image035:
Wow, I'm surprised that if the hard chrome finish is put over the black Tenifer finish, that it's not rough-looking. I'm even more surprised that the imprinted marks on the slide are legible! Does that mean that the finish is thinner at those parts?
Also, is the chrome all over the slide? Does it coat the inside of the slide (like under the recoil spring all along there)? I can't imagine that it's inside the slots and grooves for the striker, extractor plunger, etc... Is it?
I find it terribly ironic that you borrowed a diagram from an organization touting the inefficiency and environmental concerns of hard Chrome plating to demonstrate the process.
Hope I've helped!
Tenifer Helpful FYI
Tenifer is a trademarked name for the end result of a chemical bath nitriding process that embeds nitrogen into an iron-containing alloy to create a corrosion-resistant finish that is a dull grey in color and extremely hard.
The generic term for this type of process is carbonitriding.
Other trade names for carbonitriding include Melonite, Sursulf, Arcor, Tufftride, and Koline.
Users of the process
The Tenifer finish on a Glock is the third and final hardening process.
It is 0.05 millimeters thick and produces a 64 Rockwell C (diamond cone) hardness rating via a 500 °C nitride bath.
The final matte, non-glare finish meets or exceeds stainless steel specifications, is 85% more corrosion resistant than a hard chrome finish, and is 99.9% salt-water corrosion resistant.
After the Tenifer process, a black Parkerized finish is applied and the slide is protected even if the finish were to wear off.
Several other pistols also use this process including the Walther P99 and Steyr M/S series.
Grandpower, a Slovakian firearms producer, also uses a Tenifer IPQ treatment to harden metal parts on its K100 pistol.
SO...you SHOULD all be aware of the fact that when the black Parkerizing on your Glock slide wears off...your slide is still FULLY PROTECTED by the underlying Tenifer process which will probably never wear off.

Tomorrow marks the first day of the annual Isle of Man Tourist Trophy motorcycle road racing events, running through June 6. This year's event will include a team of two American riders on American-designed race bikes.
This iconic series of races, known simply as the TT" to motorcycle racing fans, has been contested since 1907 on public road courses circling the Isle of Man, a small island in the Irish Sea.
The course most often used is known as the Mountain Course, which is 37.7 miles long, with over 200 corners and bends, rising from close to sea level to 1,200 feet, passing through countryside and villages on roads open to the public before and after TT practice and racing sessions.
The best riders can reach top speeds of over 200 miles per hour, while averaging over 130 mph per lap on the twisting, narrow road course. All this while racing inches from hedges, trees, stone walls and through small villages on the twisty, and often bumpy asphalt roads.
Over recent years the TT races have become so fast and specialized that many, if not most, motorcycle racers who ride on "normal" circuits won't attempt to ride the TT.
The 2014 event beginning this week will see an all-American rider and bike team, organized by a British racing team, contesting the event. Details follow, from the IOMTT.com website:
"British road racing team, Splitlath Motorsports, has confirmed that it will be contesting the 2014 Isle of Man TT Races, fuelled by Monster Energy, with a unique all American line-up. They will compete aboard the all new, American made, EBR1190RS from iconic manufacturer Erik Buell Racing.
"This will be the first time that the EBR's have raced on the TT Mountain Course. Splitlath will field Americans Mark Miller and Brandon Cretu, both experienced TT riders. The decision to run the EBR 1190RS comes after a successful outing with both Miller and Cretu at the 2013 Macau Grand Prix where they finished 11th and 20th respectively. This represented a significant improvement for both riders in finishing positions and lap times compared to recent years, which proved the bikes pedigree to Splitlath Motorsports team owner, John Dimbylow.
"Both Splitlath riders will race the Rotax-powered, V-twin, EBR1190RS in the Dainese Superbike, RL 360 Superstock, and PokerStars Senior TT races. The confidence inspiring chassis and high corner speed of the EBR's has the team aiming for good results and the riders shooting for personal bests. The team is also doubly excited to be promoting a brand new bike to the fans at the TT races.
"2014 will be Mark Millers's fourth consecutive year riding for the Splitlath outfit on the island. Miller has become a formidable competitor since his debut in 2006 and also has the distinction of being the fastest American in the history of the event with a lap of 125.507mph. He also won the 2010 TT Zero Race for clean emissions motorcycles.
"Brandon Cretu will be Miller's teammate. He is looking to continue the success that the pair enjoyed at Macau. Cretu's has recorded a fastest lap of 117.8mph around the TT course, which he achieved last year and is looking to significantly improve on that time in 2014." - Article continued at: iomtt.com

Washington vs. Corban College
November 9, 2009
Washington Post Game quotes
Head Coach Tia Jackson
Opening statement: "Like our last exhibition game it was important that we take a lot of lessons from the games that we're playing from pre-season. We played a lot of our zone defense tonight just to see where we are and areas we need to improve upon. Boxing out is one of those areas. We might've had a tad bit more athleticism and ability to get rebounds but we don't want to mistake activity for achievement. I think we had a lot of fun out there, everyone on the floor scored, and we shared the ball extremely well. We've got to take a much needed day off tomorrow and get ready for a very challenging game at Portland State on Saturday."
On playing everyone: "I think it was just fun to get everyone out on the floor. We'll use a lot of this film for individual film sessions with the players. Areas that we can individually improve to make our team collectively better. It was fun to see the freshmen get those jitters out."
On defensive pressure: "I think that because we changed defenses quite a bit in the second half, we ended up going to some zone and man. They ended up getting some shots off. We really pride ourselves on our aggression defensively. We're really trying to slow teams up from transitioning on us. It was good to see that our defensive pressure was causing some problems."
Junior Sarah Morton
On intensity from guards: "We've been stressing that the whole year, getting up on the guards and playing tough defense. The people that play the two position really picking up the ball full court and slowing us down in transition helps the players get back. With that kind of pressure on the ball it's hard to get inside and it makes their offense move a lot slower. With more pressure it makes us more successful."
On second night jitters:
"It was my second game so I was still a bit nervous. My guards made it easier for me and with my team behind me I feel like I can do whatever and achieve anything."

We think it's a shame that Francesca Lia Block's Witch Baby has gone out of print as a stand-alone title, even if it is included in Dangerous Angels. This weird, lovely, poetic book is most simply the story of a little girl who doesn't know how she fits into her own family, but despite its extreme brevity, it covers a lot of ground. And since used copies are available for no more than eighteen cents at Amazon, you've got no excuse not to read it.

absolutely adore her novels and always will. in fact, i loved "witch baby" so much that i named my car after her (i've been driving the same 1995 toyota corolla since high school. gotta love that.)
Oh, Witch Baby is a fantastic name for a car. Props to you. Which of her other books are your favorites?

The association of bone loss with primary biliary cirrhosis is poorly understood. In 15 premenopausal female patients, only 2 of whom had fractures, mean bone mineral density was reduced at the lumbar spine but not at the midradius or distal radius. Bone loss was not statistically related to the duration or severity of liver disease. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion, an index for bone resorption, was not different from that of 15 age-matched normal women, but the serum concentration of bone Gla-protein (osteocalcin), a specific marker for bone turnover, was decreased (p < 0.001). Bone histomorphometric examination in 13 patients showed no osteomalacia but a reduced bone formation rate despite normal values for fractional osteoblast-osteoid interface. The substantial early loss of trabecular bone is mediated by a severe reduction in osteoblast function, which may be caused by retained toxic substances associated with cholestasis.

text: Mar 9, 2013 23:45 Southern men can complete perfect home season Saturday Southern men can complete perfect home season Saturday Advocate staff photo by ADAM LAU -- Southern's Jameel Grace (5), left, is patted by teammates Javan Mitchell (44) and Derick Beltran (2) after a steal against Alabama State on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013. Scott HOTARD | Advocate sportswriter Comments The Southern men's basketball team is 11-0 at F.G. Clark Activity Center and needs just one more victory to complete its home schedule unbeaten. Wouldn't you know it? Alcorn State stands in the way. The Braves handed Southern its first loss of the Southwestern Athletic Conference season, a 61-57 upset Jan. 26 in Lorman, Miss., after the Jaguars had won 10 straight overall and eight in a row in league play. The rematch comes Saturday as Jameel Grace, Madut Bol, Derick Beltran and Brandon Moore play their final home game. Should the Jaguars (19-8, 13-2) complete their home schedule unbeaten, it would be the first time since it was 13-0 at home in 2006. "Any program that's trying to be one of the best in their league, it's almost a necessity that you win your home games. We try to take the steps in becoming that kind of program," coach Roman Banks said. "But at the same time, we're just talking about winning our next game. I don't want to put too much on them and make the game bigger than it is." Another home win would continue a memorable season for Southern, which posted an 8-0 start in SWAC play, the best for the program since 1990. Southern also won at Texas A&M late in nonconference play. But Alcorn threw cold water on the hot Jaguars late last month, dealing them the first of their two conference losses. Southern later lost at Arkansas-Pine Bluff. In the first meeting, Alcorn rode the outside shooting of LeAntwan Luckett, who was 4-of-6 from 3-point range and scored 27 points. Meanwhile, Southern was 19 of 35 from the free-throw line. "They beat us pretty good," Banks said. "They basically beat us in all areas." The night it beat the Jaguars, Alcorn looked like a team that could challenge them for SWAC supremacy, but the Braves have taken a turn in the opposite direction. Their only win since came against Grambling, which has lost every game of 2012-13 by double figures and has four games left to avoid a winless regular season. That said, the Braves (9-21, 7-8) sit only a half-game back of Alabama State in the jumbled race for the No. 2 seed in the SWAC tournament. Southern leads Texas Southern for first place by a half-game, but neither TSU nor third-place Arkansas-Pine Bluff is eligible for the conference tournament. Alcorn ranks second behind Southern in the SWAC in both field-goal percentage defense and scoring defense. "Our aggressiveness will have to really be up because they come right at you," Banks said.

Typical Landlord's 5 Day Eviction Notice
Typical Landlord's 10 Day Eviction Notice
Typical Landlord's 30 Day Eviction Notice
Illinois law generally requires a written eviction notice. The landlord must serve the tenant with the written notice before filing a court case. There are two exceptions:
If the landlord gives a notice anyway, it must comply with the statute. Local ordinances can also require a written notice, as is the case in Chicago.
Service of notices is governed by 735 ILCS 5/9-211. They can be served in one of three ways in most cases:
If no one is living at the tenant's house, the landlord may post the notice.
If the tenant gets the notice, improper service may be waived. Prairie Management Corp. v. Bell, 289 Ill. App.3d 746, 682 N.E.2d 141 (1st Dist. 1997). Proof of nonreceipt can be difficult if the service of notice is proper on its face. Sometimes the landlord acknowledges improper service, by, for example, posting the notice when the tenant is in possession.
The notice must describe the premises well enough so they can be identified. Brite-House Co. v. Cary, 345 Ill. App. 509, 104 N.E.2d 125 (1st Dist.1952); Worley v. Ehret, 36 Ill.App.3d 48, 343 N.E. 2d 237 (5th Dist. 1976).
The notice must say that the tenancy will be terminated. It does not have to use the word "terminated," but it must make clear that at the end of the notice period, the tenant will lose rights to the home.
The affidavit of service does not need to be completed on the copy given to the tenant. After the tenant is served, the landlord should complete the affidavit of service and sign in front of a notary. A copy of the notice with a completed affidavit of service and a notary's signature may be filed with the court file. 735 ILCS 5/9-212.
Notices may not be served until after the default, if the notice is based on a default. Regardless of the date on the notice, the notice period does not begin to run until after service.
Notices do not have to give the date on which the tenancy will terminate. They must give the number of days after service of the notice that the tenancy will terminate. The landlord may give more, but not less, days than the statutory requirement.
Even after the tenancy is terminated, the landlord still must proceed with a court order for the eviction. It is the termination of the tenancy that gives the landlord the right to file a court action seeking eviction.
Until the full notice period given for the notice runs, the landlord cannot file in court for an eviction action. Hoefler v. Erickson, 331 Ill. App. 577, 73 N.E. 2d 448 (1st Dist. 1947).
The notice period is counted starting with the day after the notice is served and expires at midnight on the last day of the notice. 5 ILCS 70/1.11. If the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the last day of the notice period is extended to the following day. If the tenant was served by mail, the notice period starts from the day after the tenant actually received the notice. Avdich v. Kleinert, 69 Ill.2d 1, 370 N.E. 2d 504 (1977).
735 ILCS 5/9-209. A five day notice is given for nonpayment of rent. It must state the amount of rent due and give at least five days for the tenant to pay the rent.
Typical Landlord's 5 Day Eviction Notice.
The notice can only ask for the rent that is actually due at the point the notice is issued.
The notice must give a definite amount of rent as due and owing. Weinberg v. Warren, 340 Ill. App. 365, 92 N.E.2d 217 (1st Dist. 1950).
Only rent can be included in the notice. Note, though, that "rent" can potentially include a number of other charges other than just use of the property, including things like utility bills, depending on how the lease is written. Am. Mgmt. Consultant, LLC v. Carter, 392 Ill. App. 3d 39, 46 (3d Dist. 2009).
If the tenant owes less money than the landlord has demanded, the tenant needs only to pay the actual rent money due and owing to defeat the eviction notice. The tenant must pay all that is due, however; payment of less than what is due will not defeat the eviction, even if the landlord demands more than what is owed. Elizondo v. Medina, 100 Ill. App. 3d 718, 427 N.E. 2d 381, 56 Ill. Dec. 301 (1st Dist. 1981).
If the tenants can pay the rent due, they should tender the money. Tender is when a tenant offers the rent due to the landlord. Ideally, tender should be made in the presence of witnesses. The tenant should get a receipt if the landlord accepts the money. Tender must be made before the five days are up. Tender will defeat the eviction action even if the landlord refuses the money. Madison v. Rosser, 3 Ill. App. 3d 851, 279 N.E. 2d 375 (1st Dist 1972).
If the notice does not contain language saying only full payment will waive the notice, then the landlord's acceptance of even partial payment may be argued to reinstate the tenancy.
735 ILCS 5/9-210. A 10-day notice is given for violating any lease provision. There is no right to cure a 10-day notice under state law. There is a right to cure under some ordinances. Acceptance of rent for a period after the notice is issued can waive the notice.
Typical Landlord's 10 Day Eviction Notice.
The violation cited must be a violation of the lease, not a side agreement. Knaus v. Beuck, 331 Ill. App. 356, 73 N.E. 2d 160 (1st Dist. 1947). Landlord need not specify conduct but must give the "character of the default, " or a general description of what provision of the lease was violated. Any ambiguities in the lease are construed against the drafter.
Where the 10-day notice is based on nonpayment, the Illinois Supreme Court has permitted the tenant to cure by tendering the rent within the 10 day period. Woods v. Soucy, 166 Ill. 407, 47 N.E. 67 (1897).
Repeated nonpayment or late payment of the rent could also be grounds for a 10-day notice, possibly without a right to cure.
Where there is a month-to-month tenancy or any other tenancy less than a year (but not week-to-week), the landlord may terminate it at any time by giving a thirty day notice. 735 ILCS 5/9-207. The landlord does not need to give any reason for terminating the tenancy. This thirty day notice provision does not apply to tenants in foreclosure, as provided below.
Typical Landlord's 30 Day Eviction Notice.
Landlords are required to give a minimum of 60 days' notice of the termination of a year-to-year lease, and no more than six months' notice. 735 ILCS 5/9-205. Notice must be given within 4 months preceding the last 60 days of that year. This notice provision does not apply to terminating a tenancy of farm land or tenants in foreclosure.
For tenants that find themselves in foreclosed property, no matter the length of their lease or when it was enter into in relation to the foreclosure proceedings, the tenant must receive 90 days notice of any change in the lease, renewal, or termination. However, tenants must continue to abide by the lease terms and pay rent to the current landlord during these proceedings. 735 ILCS 5/9-207.5; 735 ILCS 5/15-1224.

Welcome to the first week of Plaza Familia Online Book Club during the month of July, I hope you spent your 4th of July with family and fully enjoyed the fireworks, I also hope you came loaded with energy and ready to enjoy Paula by Isabel Allende and Pelé: The King of Soccer, written by Monica Brown.
Isabel Allende is a great writer, her books are really a literary feast, but I think the fact that Paula began as a letter to his daughter while she was in a coma immediately makes an attractive book to read.
As a mother I can understand the pain and suffering that Allende was going through and I think have turned to writing definitely helped her get through those intense moments spent by the bedside of her daughter and of course, accept the fact of her death later on.
The first part of the book tells the history and family tree, framed a little on the political aspect that characterizes the life of Allende, but it is a story from the heart. Allende so far has not disappointed me and I think she won't.
Turning to the children's book, I must say I am super excited to have discovered Monica Brown, first and foremost because they are wonderfully written, are exciting to read and really uplift the Latino culture and teach our children (and reminds us, the grownups) that with hard work and consistency we can go far.
Pele: The King of Soccer tells the story of the Brazilian Pele, who as a child played soccer with a ball of paper and an empty stomach, became a living legend by being the first player to score 1,000 goals.
Just by telling you the summary of the book gives me goose bumps and I am delighted that Brown has brilliantly captured the story of real life in a children's book.
Next week will continue to share our views about the two books chosen for the month of July.
Read you later!

Allison from Fab Rehab Creations scored two end tables for free off Craigslist. One of the tables was in pretty rough shape, but Allison really loved the wood inlays and hoped to salvage them.
She showed the top a lot of tender love and care, carefully sanding it so it could refinished in a dark walnut. The drawer got the same treatment since it also had some pretty inlays that Allison wanted to preserve. The rest of the table was painted gray and then distressed and glazed with stain. I love the "old world look," as Allison puts it. The two-tone combo is, of course, stunning, especially with the addition of the stained drawer.

Seasoned Players 9 also includes performances by 43-year-old Latin spitfire Monique Fuentes, Shelia Marie, Brandi Love, and fan favorite Mika Tan.
AVN named Chloe as its Female Performer of the Year in 1999.

Interest in Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad
Hey all,
Looking to gauge the interest around TOG in Red Orchestra 2.
So if you could please give an indication if you are looking to play the game it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ulric
I'm getting it for a look-see!
Pre-ordered... would be playing now if not for the delayed (most recent) release :p
to be honest i've never played it (the first), neither have i seen anything or looked into it.
Looking forward to this more then COD or BF3. I pre-ordered BF3 but wish I hadn't now.
I've preordered :) Cant wait for the beta... Oh look its the 30th today :)
I bought the original on a Steam sale and played it for about 20min. I spent the whole time running towards a bridge underpass or something and got shot and respawned every 30 seconds or so. The same thing seemed to happen to everyone else too, on both teams. Did I just join a crappy server or is that usually what you guys enjoy about RO?
PhatFreD, depending on the game settings, if you just run towards the enemy, you will not survive very long, and need to wait for the next spawn wave. This can take a bit if you have managed to die very quickly.
Its not a run and gun game like many other FPS games. RO rewards teamplay, and small squad tactics much more than other FPS games.
Some game types are very fast respawn, others have a longer wait, depending on the server settings.
The old guard RO players will more likely have servers set on high realism settings. Given that the game now caters more for run and gun, there may be servers out there that cater for people who enjoy this game type, but I believe that they are more likely to go for the existing franchises that play that way.

An opportunity to do well by doing good
There's certainly no shortage of interesting and promising biotechnology companies in which you can invest your time, resources and money. Often investors must wait years and sometimes decades to see a return on complex biological or pharmaceutical technologies. FluGen offers an exciting opportunity for investors who want to participate with a mature technology that has the confidence of current investors, an outstanding Board of Directors and Scientific Advisors and most importantly, an expedited timeline for exit.
FluGen's value proposition lies in the remarkable science that's behind the REDEE FLU™ influenza vaccine. FluGen's REDEE FLU™ has reached critical milestones, including successful vetting by the National Institutes of Health, where testing indicates that REDEE FLU™ is successful in fighting the deadliest of flus.
It is this promising data and test results that position us to plan for human trials in 2016. With expected successful outcomes, FluGen will be on track to submit to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] by 2019. In an interview with the Wisconsin State Journal's Judy Newman, FluGen CEO Paul Radspinner explains, "That doesn't sound really fast to people, but if you've been in this business, five years to get to FDA approval is rocket speed!" FluGen co-founder and newly inducted National Academy of Sciences member Yoshihiro Kawaoka concurs, "REDEE FLU™ is a result of over 75 years of combined scientific experience in molecular virology, infectious diseases, and "reverse genetics, which has enabled us to not only understand the virus, but to design a better defense against it."
FluGen has already raised $10M in investment funds since its 2007 start and just closed a $12M Series A round in August 2015. We pride ourselves on our ability to exceed our investors' expectations through:
- Lean operations and outstanding financial management
- Transparency and communication
- Accessibility and engagement
To explore investment opportunities in FluGen's fast-tracking REDEE FLU™, contact President and CEO Paul Radspinner for more information.

Entertainment at the SoL as part of Nelson Mandela Day.
To mark the club's collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Saturday's game against Manchester United was designated Nelson Mandela Day.
African musicians, the Abatimbo Drummers of Burundi, entertained fans before the game and again at half-time showcasing the unique musical sound of Africa.
Sunderland's players also sported one-off t-shirts for the pre-game warm up, bearing the foundation's logo and a special 'text to donate' message in support of the foundation.

Coca-Cola has a long history of adding addictive substances to their soft drinks – cocaine used to be their extra-special ingredient – and now they seem to glamorize the use of caffeine to achieve success.
Their new ad campaign, designed by New York-based advertising agency Droga5, describes the mentality of ambitious entrepreneurs, followed by "You're on Diet Coke."
Coca-Cola spokesperson Stuart Kronauge told AdWeek the "You're on" reference implies those times in life you need to be on top or at your best game. But most people can see past their thinly-veiled drug reference. Even still, the advertisement effectively targets a group of determined self-starters, those young professionals ready to do anything to get to the top (ring a bell, Angelenos?) – even if it means all-nighters fueled by copious amounts of caffeine.
According to Mintel's 2013 Carbonated Soft Drinks report, 83 percent of men and 72 percent of women ages 18 to 34 regularly drink soda. While other sources of caffeine play a role in America's perceived need to stay on their game, soda contributes heavily to the nation's abuse of caffeine.
Murray Carpenter's first book, "Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us" calls attention to this epidemic. While Carpenter admits he still consumes caffeine, it's the amount that Americans take in that's the problem. And ads like Diet Coke's campaign don't do much to help alleviate the overwhelming abuse of what is undeniably an addictive drug.
Coca-Cola maintains that their ad "celebrates ambitious young achievers" and serves as a reminder that Diet Coke is there to support them along the way. Let's call the educated public skeptical.

Despite growth, contingent worker rate little changed
May 08, 2001
About 5.6 million workers held contingent jobs in February 1999. The contingency rate—the share of total employment made up of contingent workers—was 4.3 percent.
Both the number of contingent workers and the contingency rate were virtually the same as those reported in a similar survey conducted in 1997. These figures did not change despite the strong labor market conditions prevailing during the period between the two surveys.
Contingent jobs are those structured to be short term or temporary.
These data are from a supplement to the Current Population Survey. Read more in "Contingent work in the late-1990s," Monthly Labor Review, March 2001.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Despite growth, contingent worker rate little changed on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2001/may/wk1/art02.htm (visited June 27, 2016).

5 Life Myths I Learned From Full House. from Smaggle on Vimeo.
I tried to write about this but it just wasn't working so I made a vlog about it instead. It's a total piece of shit but I'm crazy proud of it because I filmed, edited and made it be watchable ALL BY MYSELF… and with a little bit of help from Google… but basically ALL BY MYSELF!!! Just a warning, I swear a bit in the video and quite loudly too so maybe don't watch it at work or if you're my grandparents maybe you shouldn't watch it all. There's also a blooper at the end because I think bloopers rock.
If you like this video or Full House or girls with hair that looks like it's half-permed then you can like me Facebook or follow me on Twitter OR BOTH! And when I can be arsed to make a YouTube channel perhaps you could like that too.

Loved this so much! Bright point in my crummy day.

Yay! That's totally the point! Hope your day got better lovely one.
I love you. That was excellent. I have similar thoughts about Gilmore Girls (much as I love it).
- Author
Hmmm…. Gilmore Girls… interesting. 🙂
I'm not even finished watching this but I am already laughing so hard…
HAhahahahahaha brilliant start to my morning with this!
PS: About the borrowing from siblings thing, I have double standards in this. I'm completely entitled to my baby brother's shit 'cos I'm the elder sister and I say so, but woe betide him if he touches mine. HAH! 😀
PPS: It's a miracle he still loves me.
- Author
I'm the baby of the family so I'm naturally adored by my parents and loathed by my brother. He still won't share with me now!
I LOVE THIS. DJ Tanner got away with so much that she should no have, it's time somebody dealt with that.
PS – I wish you had written that letter.
- Author
Seriously man, I got my arse kicked for even breathing in the direction of his bedroom.
Lovin the vlog! Crazy wicked laugh out loud fun.
As a kid I loved watching that show, but knew something wasn't quiet right. I thought my Mum was defect.
- Author
Seriously YouTube it. Fabulous waste of a day it will be.
Lol – "Diamonds!"
You freaking rock
- Author
Bahahahaha! DJ Tanner was a royal pain in the butt…in fact all of those girls were. However, I now feel a need to put on some culottes, crimp my hair and watch Full House reruns.
- Author
I could never understand why no one thought my bratty behaviour was as charming as Djs.
This was hilarious! Keep doing vlogs, you're awesome at it!
- Author
Well you all better watch out because I've figured out how to edit now! Mwah ha ha ha !
This is freaking hilarious. Also, your Mum sounds like one ace lady.
This made my day. I had never realised what a bee-yatch DJ was. Thankyou for illustrating these valuable life lessons so beautifully (although I have to admit that I am totally guilty of over-celebrating tiny victories).
And I'm dead. Just what I needed to get me through the rest of this 'meh' Thursday!
Favourite part? When you creepily stared at the camera while randomly poking at your phone. You are comedy gold!
I just want to tell you how much I love the fact that you turned Bob Saget into a breathy woman from Louisiana.
Brilliant!!!! Especially advice on siblings!!! My older brother was hardcore!
You are amazing! Kudos. And, loving the lip colour again!
Oh. My god. I think I love you. You are freaking HILARIOUS. More vlogs! More vlogs!
oh god "i'm going to book into a fancy restaurant!" SO CREEPY, you are fantastic!!!
SHIT ON TOAST I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU. xxxxxx

No, really. As the admittedly foul-mouthed With Leather pointed out on Friday, we're talking Air Supply, George Michael and a variety of other artists who tend to make me want to jab a pitchfork into my eye.
From the Boston Herald, via With Leather:
Reliever Joel Pineiro had teammates howling yesterday with his weight-room music mix, which included a steady diet of ballads and love songs from the likes of Air Supply, Wham, and Berlin . . .
Maybe it's just me, but I always thought closers were supposed to come out rocking to tunes that inspire awe and fear.
Trevor Hoffman, for example, has taken the mound for years to the melodic crooning in AC/DC's "Hells Bells." Jonathan Papelbon chose Drowning Pool's squirrelly "Bodies" early last season, then used Godsmack's "The Enemy" and a few other songs.
Notice a theme there? Yeah, me too. No wimpy music allowed.
Take note, Terry Francona. This is simply not meant to be.

Unified Information Governance and Discovery Framework (UIGDF) Patent Pending
The UIGDF is a linear approach to records lifecycle management and incorporates both functions of Information Governance and Discovery in the same model. This is accomplished by starting at the very basic record level and building the process around its lifecycle. A record in itself does not change during its lifecycle, but rather various forces interact with records, such as regulatory changes and litigation, which will have an impact on both "when" and "how" a record may be maintained and retired during the course of its retention period. The UIGDF starts off using a new concept called the Information Governance Forces Framework™ (IGFF) to begin defining policies, processes, resources and stakeholders associated with governing the business data. The framework sets the foundation for all downstream activities associated with maintaining a record such as: Information Management, Preserving, Selecting, and Producing/Retiring data. This linear process creates a fundamental approach by grouping the major activities perform ed during the lifecycle of a record. Through the implementation of the UIGDF an organization can begin to proactively manage its data.
Organizational data is growing exponentially; and the amount of data stored by businesses is estimated to double in size every 18 months[1] due to the introduction of computer systems and applications used in day-to-day business operations. The resulting challenge for organizations is maintaining the ability to a dequately and accurately govern their information; otherwise unmanaged data growth will cause organizations to be vulnerable to legal risks and financial losses. The UIGDF is deigned to be focused on the lifecycle and not the medium, thus agnostic to the record format. The UIGDF allows an organization to proactively manage information on all of its media formats to support an organization's immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, environmental and operational requirements.
An organization's ability to control the information in its possession is critical to its overall success. Regardless of whether or not your organization resides in a highly regulated or litigious industry, it is guaranteed to produce and accumulate massive volumes of data. This data needs to be properly managed, at the very least for business continuity. Data in the form of business records can be found in hard copy or located in electronic format residing on disparate systems on multiple networks in multiple locations. Since data is growing at an alarming rate combined with its ability to be located in multiple locations and formats, it has left many organizations at legal risk of retaining data longer than necessary and uncontrolled. This uncontrolled growth is a direct contributor to the increase of annual IT spend in storage of information.
In order to gain control the UIGDF is designed to allow organizations to follow a standard universal framework for discovery of information, whether the discovery is for reduction of data no longer needed or for the support of litigation.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Christopher Lowrance posts about the exhibition Color Country featuring work by Tom Gregg, Daniel Reneau, and Anne Thompson at the University of Central Missouri's Gallery 115, on view through December 7, 2012.
Lowrance writes: "All three make work that considers the perception of color, and also the desire to define color, make it mean something certain and constant. The problem is, and this is what makes these three artists approach to color so interesting, is that it's as impossible to define color, to make it mean something simple and absolute, as it is to look at color as optically constant. The problem becomes almost existential."
Christopher Lowrance interviews painter Tom Gregg about his work and studio practice.
Gregg notes "the life or presence of the painting as an actual object, is incredibly important to me, and relates to this scale question as well as to the attention I give to the surface qualities of my paintings. The size of the objects in my paintings seems to shift, usually for reasons that are more intuitive than conscious. They feel right at a certain size, which is usually linked to other factors in the paintings. The most aggressive subject matter I ever painted had the largest scaled objects whereas a quiet, somber set of paintings I did not long after that had almost normal scaled objects. At this point they are bigger than real life, but I don't really experience them that way, they just seem right at that scale. There is no doubt it gives the paintings a definite and hopefully slightly disquieting presence as an object, and helps to separate it from merely being an image or a representation."

Phoebe Unwin EXHIBITED AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Phoebe Unwin
Oil on canvas
147.5 x 122 cm
ŌĆ£This painting explores a certain tension and mood manifest through a girl in profile: the uncomfortable leaning on one arm, the sculpture-like rigidity and the palette of blues, whites and purplesŌĆØ, Unwin says of Girl. ŌĆ£The subject has what might be thought of as particularly girlish attributes, but in this painting I wanted the ŌĆśgirlishnessŌĆÖ to become rigid and tense: the high-up ponytail looks almost solid and a strange ŌĆśthingŌĆÖ rather than something soft and fluffy. Her knitted jumper appears to be a structure both containing her body and stiffly holding it together. She is nobody in particular: more a combination of things seen and felt. I chose to make her in a limited palette as I wanted the painting to focus on what she might be feeling, with the aim of creating a pensive atmosphere. She is not confrontational and I donŌĆÖt think of her as any kind of ŌĆścharacterŌĆÖ. I donŌĆÖt think she is a whole being herself, rather a kind of sculpture of feeling.ŌĆØ

Oil, acrylic and graphite on canvas
147.5 x 122 cm
ŌĆ£This painting marks a moment where I became increasingly interested in how the image of a figure might relate to its environment and vice versa ŌĆō the two becoming one. The subject itself encourages a certain merging: the figure of a girl bathed in strips of light from a venetian blind,ŌĆØ Unwin says of Untitled. ŌĆ£I had in mind how when strong light cuts through a room it can appear almost as if it divides anything in front of it. Here I was particularly interested in how the coming together of person and place could be explored through the materials themselves. I like the idea of a feeling being translated quite physically. I have used quite opaque paints for the light - acrylic and oil - whereas for the majority of the figure I have used powdered graphite ŌĆō making some soft and translucent marks. I was thinking about the structure of the blind being very solid and still, the light being so strong it has almost become ŌĆśstuffŌĆÖ and the figure being relatively transient and delicately, gently moving.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Acrylic and oil on linen
122 x 97 cm
View compounds ideas about perception with an image of a man gazing at a something in the distance thatŌĆÖs left to the viewerŌĆÖs imagination. Rendered in the green and red tones of 3D cinema, View takes on the qualities of film with the suggestion of narrative, movement, and casual voyeurism. The figure in the canvas is near life sized, a device which annexes the surrounding environment as part of the painting. ŌĆ£I often aim for my paintings to feel as if there is a possibility of the picture extending beyond its edge.ŌĆØ Unwin states. ŌĆ£I painted the man pushed up to the right-hand edge of the picture so that he is almost leaning on it. I like it if the shape of a canvas can almost become part of the image.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Night Life
Oil on canvas
50 x 40 cm
ŌĆ£One of the most important things to say about this painting is that it is small in relation to my other paintings hereŌĆØ, Unwin says. ŌĆ£It is between A4 and A3 size. I point this out because I tend to change the scale of my work depending on the subject. I find the physical relationship a viewer has to a painting is a significant factor. Night Life is a head that is almost human size and I think it is this that makes it feel quite intimate and, I hope, have some kind of human presence; encouraging an intimate visual conversation for the viewer. I think that if this painting were big it would become more of an image of a head, like the distanced and powerful feeling of a billboard picture. The blues of this oil painting are so deep they are almost black. The mood and the head are one. This is a painting of no one in particular and I like to think that the gender is indeterminate too- it is a person barely visible in the dark.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Falling Sunglasses
Oil on canvas
120 x 170 cm
ŌĆ£I find it exciting to think that anything can be in a painting: a valuable subject need not be a grand idea, an especially significant moment, a pose or an accurate documentation,ŌĆØ Unwin says. ŌĆ£In Falling Sunglasses, I was excited by the challenge of how I might visually explain movement, heat, light, casualness and a moment of lying down but about to get up. The sunglasses are repeated, as a film is constructed, and the lenses are not black as you might expect: some are completely gold, others silver ŌĆō its more about how glasses glitter in strong light. It also felt crucial that the manŌĆÖs head is not depicted, since the painting is about the moment of dropping glasses rather than a personality. I wanted to communicate the energy and atmosphere of those fragmented and horizontal views one can have whilst on a beach, half looking up from lying on a towel. The painting as a whole is monochrome to give the falling sunglasses attention and focus rather than bringing in unnecessary information about the surroundings.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Man With Flowers
Oil on linen
138 x 118 cm
ŌĆ£Here the oil paint is layered and impasto,ŌĆØ Unwin explains. ŌĆ£The manŌĆÖs body, the flowers, the gingham shirt and background are becoming interchangeable open forms. I liked the idea of painting a gift and that gift coming from, and almost out of, the person. IŌĆÖm interested in those moments where objects feel they become part of us for some time, either because they are functional or because we have feelings about them. I believe I was thinking about the flowers almost growing from the man, and that there is a celebratory but also slightly pushy feeling about the flowers ŌĆō I was interested in how this can be explored in paint.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Oil, aluminium leaf and spray paint on linen
183 x 153 cm
Of Desk Unwin says: ŌĆ£This painting is of a desk viewed from above. I wanted to make the shape and size of the canvas part of the subject of the painting. The A4 paper and folder silhouettes are arranged around the edges of the painting, making the painting itself operate as a desk in scale and composition. In this arrangement I was interested in the combined connotations of the everyday, design and abstract painting. The blue spray paint has an industrial feel to it and an energy of quickness and irreverence, compared with the layers of painted marks and silver leaf built up below. One of the primary reasons I am interested in working with different materials is that they have different colour characteristics. A cerulean blue in acrylic will be quite different from that blue in oil, and then different again in spray-paint. One paint may have more modern qualities, another may have a poetic feel. For me, colour is never a totally isolated abstract thing ŌĆō its physical qualities make me think of objects, feelings, people or places.ŌĆØ
Phoebe Unwin
Soft Person
Gold leaf and acrylic on canvas
220 x 185 cm
ŌĆ£Here person and place are almost indistinguishable. I had in mind how soft human bodies compare with the hardness of buildings,ŌĆØ Unwin says. Exploring the physical and psychological, she works from both memory and observation: ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt work from photographs ŌĆō for me photographs provide too much information; too many details. I often aim to get to the essence of a subject, going on a hunch that there is more to that familiar moment or thing than itself. How colours work with form, scale and subject fascinates me; tension that materials can create. ItŌĆÖs important that the paintings are not scaled up from smaller images. I never know how a painting will look when itŌĆÖs finished and I consider this a vital means of giving a painting energy. Memory is a useful filter for me because itŌĆÖs never an isolated phenomenon: itŌĆÖs not just about what something looked like but also what it felt like, how big I felt in relation to it, its temperature or environment - painting the feeling of something rather than its appearance. I paint things I have experienced in some way.ŌĆØ

Featuring The Mongan Method HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Classes in Alexandria, VA
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based in the belief that when a mother is properly prepared for birthing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable manner. HypnoBirthing returns a woman to the art of childbirth in a way that allows her to summon her natural birthing instincts. HypnoBirthing is based on the belief that severe pain does not need to be a natural accompaniment to labor.
When in my pregnancy should I take this class?
Like most things, the key to successful HypnoBirthing is practice, practice, practice! Most women find that having three to four months to learn and practice the self-hypnosis techniques is ideal. However, whether your baby is due to arrive soon after the class ends or whether you're early in your pregnancy, the skills learned in class will be invaluable for your preparation along the journey to birthing your baby.
What will you learn?
- Techniques for safe, shorter, and more comfortable birthing through guided imagery, visualization, and special breathing
- Relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques to eliminate the fear of the unknown and tension that cause long labor and pain, replacing it with confidence, calm & comfort
- An understanding of the body's natural process during labor in order to create your own natural anesthesia and work with your body instead of against it
- How the "stages of labor" are affected by deep relaxation
How will HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Preparation benefit you?
- Teaches you to eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after labor
- Eliminates the need for chemical anesthesia in most cases
- Shortens the first stage of labor by several hours
- Eliminates fatigue during labor
- Brings together the mother, baby, and birthing companion in a wonderful pre-natal bonding experience
- Invites the birthing companion to be an integral part of the birthing, not an onlooker or coach
- Postnatal recovery is rapid & easier
- Birthing is returned to the beautiful & peaceful experience that nature intended.
HypnoBirthing classes are 3-hours long, and meet for five weeks in Alexandria, Virginia. The cost of the class is $300.00 per couple, which includes book, CD, and several handouts. Refreshments served at each class. Birth companions are encouraged to attend classes as well, as they play an integral role in the birthing process.
HypnoBirthing classes are held at 101 S. Whiting Street, Suite 314, Alexandria, Virginia. To register for classes, or to request more information, please call Sharon at (703) 971-7305 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com Sharon Stevenson is affiliated with the HypnoBirthing Institute.
Obstetrician Dr. Lorne Campbell has attended over 400 births using HypnoBirthing® – See below what he has to say!
To Whom It May Concern:
I began delivering babies in 1983. I believed in the use of drugs to manage obstetrical pain. I saw lots of complications including babies with compromised breathing in spite of my best efforts to use good sound medical judgment. I believed that Epidurals were a medical blessing. I had a 25% C-Section rate.
Patients demanded natural births. I then performed hundreds of deliveries using the pushing, blowing and holding off analgesics until the mother could no longer take the pain. I saw babies that were no longer respiratorily compromised but were exhausted and quite often needed respiratory support with oxygen. But my C-Section rate had fallen to 5%.
Next I used visual imagery to manage pain. I occasionally still had to use narcotics and a rare epidural. I still saw exhausted babies who were not fully able to bond. I still had a C-Section rate of 5%.
I then began using hypnosis to manage pain during birth. The results were ok, mothers still had pain; babies were less often compromised and very rarely needed oxygen. I still had a 5% c-section rate.
I have made the transition to HypnoBirthing. I now believe that birthing involves no pain. I have attended over 200 births that have used the techniques and philosophy of HypnoBirthing – "The Mongan Method". I realize that I no longer perform deliveries; I attend births and observe the birthing companion receive the baby. It is as if my new role is to be present to witness the miracle of HypnoBirthing.
Every mother has been excited about the birth event. Support people become involved in a meaningful way. I have had no complications. No babies have needed oxygen or any support other than warming by mother's body. My C-Section rate is 3%. I have given absolutely no analgesic drugs since I have used HypnoBirthing with mothers.
I routinely lecture to medical groups about HypnoBirthing. I am more than happy to talk to any Health Care Professionals (or anyone else) about my experiences with truly natural birthing. I have a number of patients and husbands who love to talk about their experience. In the near future I will be training residents to use HypnoBirthing as an option for patients.
I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine. I am also an Assistant Clinical professor of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine.
