This talk explores how entering the Third Noble Truth opens the mind beyond its habitual addiction to interpret life from a sense of being a personality, needing to 'sort things out'. Opening the mind implies an ability to tolerate the reality of uncertainty. This talk also explores compassion and loving kindness as fearlessness and includes a simple guided meditation on well-being.

Daemen College : News : News Releases
Academic Festival Exhibit: Jacek M. Fraczak: "Drawing the Banality of Evil" Will Coincide with Festival Keynote Address by Veteran Correspondent Rita Cosby
March 22, 2013
Contact: Mike Andrei
Director-College Relations
(716) 839-8472
Missouri State University Assistant Professor Jacek Fraczak will exhibit his works, "Drawing the Banality of Evil," in the Daemen College Goldman Greenfield Gallery April 16-18, 2013. The exhibit focuses on Poland and the Holocaust during WW II, and will coincide with the 2013 Daemen College Academic Festival.
Fraczak's exhibit will also coincide with the Festival keynote address by veteran correspondent, and best-selling author Rita Cosby. Cosby's recent New York Times bestseller, "Quiet Hero: Secrets From My Father's Past," details her fascinating discovery about her Polish father, a Nazi prisoner of war, saved by American troops. Jacek's exhibit also deals with Poland during WW II.
Visual artist and designer, assistant professor in the Art and Design Department of MSU, Fraczak was born in 1958 in Warsaw, Poland, and moved to Springfield, Missouri, in 2007. He practices printmaking, drawing, painting, photography, and graphic design. Jacek Fraczak has had over 30 solo shows in Poland, Denmark, USA, and Germany. His artworks participated in numerous group exhibitions in USA, Italy, Holland, France, UK, Sweden, and Latvia. Fraczak's etchings, drawings and photos are in collections of the British Museum, UK; National Library, Poland; Regional Museums in Torun, Bialystok, and Rawa Mazowiecka, Poland; Knecht-Drenth Foundation, Holland; Springfield Art Museum; and also many private collections.
Fraczak collaborated as graphic designer with MacMillan Publishers as a senior art director; with WSIP S.A. (one of the largest European textbook publishers) as an art director and production coordinator. He was managing art director of the biggest Polish daily of its time, "Życie Warszawy" and did many other newspaper typographic designs.
To see the exhibit: The Fanette Goldman Carolyn Greenfield Gallery is located on the first floor of Duns Scotus Hall on the Daemen campus at 4380 Main Street in Amherst. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Thursday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Yom Shoah Personalized: Five Drawings (in the words of Jacek Fraczak)
"Through art, I wanted to tell the story of total extermination;of being in the position of those who were denied dignity and life, all for an ideology.In preparing to execute the series "Yom Shoah," I started collecting stories, personal anecdotes, and memories of those who had experienced the Holocaust. I talked to people, read books, watched movies. And then I set out to recreate the victims' experiences, using the Nazi photographs as an inset within a larger vista.
"Each pen-and-ink drawing offers to expand the image that the German photographer captured, but while his camera showed a piece of the world as seen through the eyes of a conquerer, the larger drawing shows what his victims saw as they hid, or ran, or fell from gunfire. I intended these "Yom Shoah" collages to be personal interpretations of the Holocaust experience, as recounted to me by my Jewish-American friend. But I should note that my own family suffered.
"Two of my grandfather's brothers died in Nazi concentration camps. Why? Because they were teachers, Poles, and Hitler declared should be kept at the lowest intellectual level, so, during the Nazi occupation, only elementary education was allowed. And then my grandfather was himself killed by the Soviet Communists. Finally, I wanted to add my voice to the debate about extremist ideologies that promise a better future for humankind—or, at least, for a select portion thereof, the so-called Aryan race for Nazi Germany and the proletariat of Soviet Communism. As an autopsy of these ideologies shows, they can expand and thrive—like a plague—in social and political environments where common and banal evil is allowed to take hold and reign over human minds and souls.
"I executed nine drawings in 1993 and exhibited them together with the Wehrmacht soldier's photos in a gallery in Warsaw, Poland. Only recently have I been able to return to Poland and bring much of my original art back with me to the United States. (When I first left Poland, I left with little more than the suitcase in my hand.) In December 2012, I showed the exhibition in Springfield, Missouri. Now, some twenty years after their composing, I'm pleased to see five of my drawings from this set published for the first time."
The Daemen College Weighted Average Ultimate Pass Rate based on the most current data as reported by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (2009-2011) is 100%, with our graduates demonstrating first time pass rates above both state and national averages each year.

L'Oreal Julianne's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick is one of several new limited edition shades launched with the L'Oreal Collection Privee Colour Riche Lipstick Collection for Spring 2014.
Each shade is inspired and celebrates a present or past face/ambassador of L'Oreal Cosmetics. This makes for an excellent round up of shades to suit a wide variety of skin tones, eye and hair shades. Of course, you aren't limited to selecting shades depending on your skin tone as hey, no one should dictate what colors you enjoy wearing! However, it does make your selection easier as the colors are based to flatter a certain skin tone.
L'Oreal Julianne's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick was created for a more fairer tone but I think many will like this nude pink lippie!
L'Oreal Julianne's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick is a soft pale pink. At a glance it reminded me of Urban Decay Naked Lipstick but it's actually a hint more cooler. It's a blue based pink which will be MLBB (my lips but better) for certain skin tones where as others might find it's a little deathly. I didn't really love it on me. I wish it had a touch more warmth to it…!
All of the lipsticks from the Collection Privee Collection come in a matte black casing with gold accents and a gold autograph. The packaging is very luxe but I fear that the matte black case will become gross with use as it quite reminds me of NARS rubberized compacts.
The shades from Collection Privee seem to JUST be missing the mark for me. In the tube they are gorgeous, applied they look lovely enough, but the are missing something.
I experienced an issue with Eva's shade where it kinda fell into my natural lip lines and with Julianne's Nude the same thing happened. It kinda ages my lips. The good news is with a little gloss you can eliminate the issue but I think it is worth mentioning especially if you have drier lips or finely lined ones as this doesn't provide the smoothest finish. It does have a nice easy glide across lips with a buttery texture and a satin finish that wears for around three hours to four hours. All L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipsticks have are heavily fragranced and flavored with a perfume-y scent and flavored. It doesn't really bother me too much but again, worth a mention if you're sensitive.
Overall, L'Oreal Julianne's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick is going to make some lucky lady or lad a perfect my lips but better lipstick! The formula is a bit iffy but the shade is very pretty.
I'd purchase if you can locate it on sale!
Available for a limited time at drugstores.
Own it already?
Do share your thoughts on the shade!
This product was purchased
by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
4/8/14 17:41 Tammie:
Yup lol, this does not play well with my lip lines. So sad :<
4/8/14 17:49 Tammie:
I too was wondering if I was crazy haha, this was the only shade I got though. But all the reviews loved it/the formula so much so I was really surprised when I tried it :T. But I wonder if maybe the UK and the US formulas are different? Because it's so new in the US but apparently it was out in the UK for a while, all the reviews I saw before were UK ones (and they all loved it so much).
4/8/14 18:47 Stacy:
Can't wait to try a couple of these! Thanks for the review. P.S. Your Skin is glowing!!!
4/8/14 19:34 Fancie:
This is such a pretty lipstick but I'll definitely have to pass. I have a ton of fine lines and I hate when lipsticks fall into them and look all gross. Ick. It's too bad because the color and packaging looks so nice. Boo!
4/9/14 8:31 katrosado:
I'm a fine lined lip kind of gal too. Too bad there isn't a good lip primer that doesn't also dry the lips out. I need a product like that in my life
4/9/14 12:12 Hez:
Hi Musey.. I got mine in the UK last summer.. it is the perfect pink on me it just works on me.. the formula? Meh.. strong smell too. I just enjoy it for what it is.. it's my favorite drug store pink at the moment. I am super , super fair. I want a back up 😉 Need one in my purse and one at home..
4/9/14 12:14 Hez:
Ahh ok I see now.. I will add gloss to try and help.
4/10/14 20:07 Eraser:
I love this shade even though I'm an olive-skinned brunette. To me, it's warm & peachy, not blue-based or cool-toned at all. I use a balm or base under most of my lipsticks anyway so I also didn't think it exaggerated lines. Being of a certain age, I remember when all lipsticks had a signature fragrance & I always liked L'Oreal's.
8/7/15 19:30 Andrea:
I love your blog! I don't typically write reviews or buy drug store make up but just had to say something about this lipstick. I have way too many lipsticks, it's borderline ridiculous and have been on the search for the perfect nude color for like EVER. I'm fair with light blonde hair and my complexion leans more pink. This is the ONLY nude lip color that has ever looked good on me, it's perfect. I just bought my second tube of Julianne's nude just in case it should be discontinued. All other nude lipsticks have made me look like a corpse..frustrating. I just bought Julianne's red lipstick from the pure red collection. Another winner. Loreal is onto something. Hope this is helpful.

Toshi Pan Asian Signature Restaurant
Japanese restaurant draws crowds to its all you can eat Pan-Asian buffets 7 Reviews
Saturday brunch
A selection of pan Asian cooking served directly to your table, with live entertainment taking place. Dhs195 (food only). Dhs375 (house beverages) Timings: Noon-4pm (Saturday)
- Picture 1 of 2
Its name may evoke images of kimonos and coy fish but this Asian fusion restaurant on the 18th floor of TECOM's Grand Millennium hotel is on a mission to master every cuisine from China to Thailand. While the majority of restaurants in this city manage to fail such an ambitious task, Toshi get its right – especially if the crowds are anything to go by. On weeknights it hosts themed spreads and on our last visit, the place was heaving brunch-style, Thursday night offers an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet for an a very affordable Dhs215 (including drinks). While the à la carte menu is overwhelmingly disjointed and difficult to get your head around, options are plentiful. Whether you're after sashimi, wok-fried king crab, Thai beef-style salad, wagyu beef strips or deep-fried ice cream, there is something for everything and it's all totally edible, without being overpriced. Smokers will also love the fact you don't have to take a lift downstairs to spark up – there is an adjoining bar and room to do so, as well as a smoking section within the restaurant.

The Henry County Fire Department Dive Team recently trained at Tussahaw Water Reservoir.
Divers performed various maneuvers used when conducting an underwater search-and-recovery mission.
"The skills are that of which the divers already possess, however to stay sharp they must train regularly in conditions they are likely to be faced with in a real situation," said Henry County Fire Capt. Sabrina Puckett in a written statement.
She added that newer and better techniques to mitigate situations are always on the horizon, in an effort to maintain sharp skills and to learn more effective ways to carry out search and recovery missions.

I am assuming those methods exist internally? Christian gave an opinion on adding methods like this: http://www.stackless.com/pipermail/stackless/2006-May/001701.html I share Christian's reticence for making changes, and would rather you use __reduce__ and __setstate__, perhaps wrapping them, unless there was a reason you do not want to do this? If exposing these methods was just a matter of minor work to expose existing functionality, I would be more than happy to check in the changes. But if I recall correctly, this is not the case.

Cenozoic evolution of grasses and grazers
The evolution of grassland ecosystems was one of the most profound ecological changes of the past 65 million years, but many questions remain as to when it occurred and what triggered it. A traditional, yet untested assumption is that many animals (e.g., horses, dung beetles) evolved in lockstep with the spread of grass-dominated vegetation. I investigate these questions by using a novel source of paleobotanical data, plant silica (phytoliths), integrated with information from, for example, sedimentology, modern ecology, plant anatomy, and vertebrate paleontology. This work entails paleontological and geologic fieldwork in areas such as the North American continental interior, Argentina, Turkey, Spain, and China, laboratory work, as well as systematic, statistical, and phylogenetic analysis. Many of these projects involve international collaborators including from Duke University, Geologic Survey of Turkey, Utrecht University, Netherlands, University of Birmingham, UK, University of Helsinki, Finland, and National Museum of Natural Science, Madrid, Spain.
Origin, early diversification, and biogeography of the grass clade
Grasses evolved in the Late Cretaceous, in parallel with the break-up of Gondwana. It is less clear how this species-rich and ecologically important group reached its current global distribution and what the earliest interactions with herbivores were. My research on grass phytoliths preserved in coprolites from the Late Cretaceous of India with colleagues at the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, Lucknow and the Panjab University, Chandigarh attempts to address these questions.
Ecology of Late Cretaceous angiosperms
Angiosperms had reached high taxonomic diversity by the Late Cretaceous, but were still marginal in terms of relative abundance in mid-high latitude vegetation in North America. Together with Scott Wing (National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution) and colleagues, I investigate vegetation structure and the ecological role(s) that angiosperms played in the Late Cretaceous, using an exceptionally preserved fossil flora at the Big Cedar Ridge, central Wyoming.

Beers With: Dave Hill
Conceptual portrait photographer Dave Hill, of Nashville, has never won a photography award. Nor does he belong to any photographic organizations. So you have probably never heard of him.
(That's not him above. Dave has better pecs.)
I caught up with Dave via email for a little Q&A while he was in London recently. More from the guy who has the "Dave Hill Look" down better than almost anyone else, after the jump.
Dave Hill Q&A
Your lighting, shooting and post-production style is unique, and generates a lot of conversation among this site's readers. Is there really a definitive "Dave Hill Style," or are you more subject-driven in your approach to visualizing and lighting a photo?
Well, I'm not sure if there is a "style," but I do tend to light in similar ways, even if the audiences and subjects are totally different. I have definitely studied and used other people's lighting styles that have been around way before me.
My post production process, though always evolving, has become almost second nature to me. I'm pretty good at getting the Dave Hill look by now. :-) But of course, not every subject works with an 8 light setup. Recently, I've been playing around with fewer lights, not always insisting on rear lights, etc.
(Photo by Dave Hill)
You are 28 years old. In just ten years you have gone from shooting local skateboarders to photographing some of the hottest people in the entertainment industry. How does that happen so fast? When you look back, do you see a moment when things really started to gel for you?
Haha. Actually, it seems like a long time coming really. Look how much Britney Spears has accomplished in the same amount of time?
I shot for my college paper for 4 years (UCLA Daily Bruin) and then worked at Loyola Marymount University as their full-time campus photographer, working mainly with film (medium format). I didn't really know any freelance photographers at the time and didn't really know what I was doing, lighting-wise. It wasn't until I packed my bags and moved to Nashville in 2003 that stuff started changing.
I was sick of shooting for a salary and decided I would shoot as much as possible on my own, while working random odd jobs (valet parking, video editing, etc). I got a lot of flak from some of the bigger photogs in Nashville for putting up signs for $100 artist promo shoots. I'm happy I did, though. Besides getting a ton of experience, I shot one band, with a guy who worked at EMI records. He liked my stuff, got me a meeting with the label, and it turned into a lot of jobs with Nashville records labels, and then nation-wide labels. During the $100 days, I also shot an indie musician who was friends with some guys at a Seattle design firm, then called Asterik Studio (now invisiblecreature.com).
They saw my stuff, liked it, and started using me more and more. It helped that I was willing to build huge water tanks and massive sets for almost no budgets. With them, I really got to do some great photoshop-heavy compositing work. All in all, I guess my $100 campaign really sparked things for my career (and just shooting a ton!).
Regarding your light, do you tend to design it before the fact in a given situation, or does it just evolve as you shoot and look at the results?
If the shoot involves a planned concept, I usually have a good idea of how I will light it before I arrive on set. Of course, sometimes stuff looks great in my head, I set the lights up, and then it looks like crap, so I have to play it cool and try another set up (acting confident in front of the art director the whole time, of course!)
For less-planned shoots, like most artist promo stuff, I just set up the lights on the fly. Funny thing is, the lighting setups for planned stuff and the last minute stuff usually come out pretty similar.
Your photos, although highly produced, are also very moment-oriented. You describe them as "cinematic." How to you create these moments? Is there a lot of pre-thinking and direct coaching involved, or is it more of an organic collaboration on the set?
For all of my bigger-budget shoots, the concepts are planned out in my head at least a few days before we shoot (sometimes much farther in advance). I did the packaging photos for Chris Brown's latest CD this past summer, and I had to come up with some concepts for him based on some movies he liked. I had a lot of fun coming up with image concepts, locations, etc and finally having the budget to pull them off (sports car, big plasma screens, baby Leopard, radio dishes, etc...kinda ridiculous!).
I did an ad for Nationwide Insurance this past summer which also involved a ton of planning, and coaching on set. We had these poor high school kids jumping on trampolines and flying into mattresses all day. The image was accurately sketched out a few weeks before we started shooting. I really love spending lots of time on single images. I really hope to do even more stuff like that this year.
Clearly, your clients are hiring you with expectations of a certain look and feel to the photos you'll make. Do you think that expectation hems you in, of gives you the freedom to stretch?
I really do feel a lot of pressure to keep progressing my style in the same direction (big composites, post, etc). Of course there are upsides and downsides to this. It's very rare that my clients aren't happy with their product since I rarely take too many chances (which is something I'm actively working to overcome!) They pretty much get what they expected.
Recently, I've tried to tone down some of the post-processed look on a few assignments and the feedback I've gotten from the art directors is "great stuff! but can you add some of that "animated" look to the images?" So ya, we'll see how much I can grow and stretch this year... :-)
You are shooting what many of the readers of this site would consider dream assignments. What would you consider a dream assignment?
I would love to shoot Zach Braft, Mandy Moore, and Clint Eastwood riding wild camels, with pursuing Arab militants in the deserts of Namibia for the cover of Vanity Fair, in promotion for their upcoming movie "The Desert Chronicles," directed by Steven Spielberg (of course I would shoot him for the sidebar). My wife would produce it, and all my friends would be there hanging out, assisting, etc.
Afterwards, we would explore for 2 months, shoot a lot of film, get stuck in the sand at least 4 times, then come home, and cash our checks. A month later, Universal would buy out all of the rights to the photos for their movie poster for $1,000,000.
Are you near the greater L.A. area? Be sure to stop by the Koos Art Center in Long Beach, to see Dave's work along with that of seven other photographers, in the show, Photo Pass: An Exhibit of Music Photography.

Pennetta's win-loss record in WTA finals now stands at
10-13, with three of these victories coming on
Pennetta wins the first Premier Mandatory title of her
career; her biggest title before this came in at the
Premier-level Los Angeles in 2009.
Pennetta is the lowest-ranked player to lift the title

player outside the Top 20, after S.Williams (1999),
Hantuchova (2002) and Clijsters, to triumph.
Pennetta was taken to three sets three times en route to
the title, against Townsend, Stosur and Stephens.
Radwanska falls to 13-6 in WTA finals, and 10-5 in
hardcourt finals.
Pennetta and Radwanska were meeting for the seventh
time; Pennetta, who also won earlier this year in Dubai,
now trails the head-to-head record 4-3.
- Pennetta will rise to No.12
while Radwanska will stay at No.3 when the new rankings
are released.
- Hsieh
and Peng win their 11th WTA title together and second of
2014; Hsieh now has 16 career titles to her name, while
Peng has 15.
- Hsieh
and Peng maintain their unbeaten record in WTA finals,
which began in Bali in 2008.
Final QuotesFlavia Pennetta: "I'm happy.
Really happy. I think I need a few days to realize this.
Right now I'm too calm, I think. I called my dad, and he
couldn't breathe. I told him, 'Papa, breathe!' After so
many years and so much work and everything, this is the
moment I was waiting for. And it comes when you least
expect it. In the beginning of the tournament I never
expected to be the champion, or even be in the final or
semifinal. I was just here trying to play my best
tennis. For me, this is something I was waiting for a
long time."Agnieszka Radwanska: "I really
tried everything I could to push myself and play 100%
today, because this is the final, but unfortunately I
was in too much pain. It's just the worst thing for a
player to not be able to give 100% in the final of a big
event. It was still a good two weeks for me. My first
final here, a big event, and still a good result."

Sorry, but after reading through threads I couldn't find a good answer...I'm looking to lighten up my rain gear, especially since I mostly hike in SoCal and the Sierras and it doesn't get used a lot. First question - at 5'5", 155 lbs (29" waist) will the size small even fit me? Are there local places in southern california that carry them?Second question - is there a good alternative that would fit me?
Jeff:A size small might be a tad big for you -- but not unmanageably so. Give it a try. Otherwise, I live in Pasadena, and if you want, you are welcome to visit for a look-see. I have Driducks in size small (I/m 5'9" and 150lbs) and also an Integral Designs eVent rain jacket that I love.
Hey, Jeff. I am 6'1", 165 and have the large. I'm swimming in these things--tons of room. I could easily cover a day pack under my jacket to keep it dry. I never could find anyone that sold them locally here in the OC. I did find a place online that sold them and the Dropstoppers for a discount (I'd have to look them up, but I can PM you if you want). They had free shipping, too. I got my daughter a pair of the Polly Woggs, too. They're the equivalent of the Frogg Togg material, I believe, which is the heavier material than the DriDucks, but of better quality. Let me know if you have any questions.Michael
I have a 'small' DriDucks set.The jacket is 45" in girth, straight (i.e. not tapered eithered way.) Back length (from the seam where the hood attaches) is 29.5 inches. Sleeve length, again from the neckline, is 33 inches. Armholes are very generously sized. Weighs 5.5 oz by my scale.Pants' inseam is 29", outseam is 41". Waist is 29" relaxed, 40" stretched (which is also the same girth as the hips.) Weighs 3.7 oz.I'm a 5'2" woman and I swim in it, but while it's not exactly an "attractive" fit, I can wear it fine.I have to say, though, that at first glance, the fabric doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. My first thought was that it reminded me of those paper/plastic "bibs" at the dentist's office...
Edited by DetroitTigerFan on 01/22/2011 15:57:40 MST.
I think I'll give the smalls a shot. Do all of you usually just take the jacket or do you use the pants as well. I'm trying to decide if I need rain/wind pants for my Sierra trips. I usually go late August or early September and I've rarely hit a lot of rain.
Edited by Catalyst on 01/22/2011 20:12:59 MST.
Lots of granite in the Sierras. My Driducks jackets can last a few years actually -- but the pants (lower legs) get holes and rips in just one trip.

text: So with the Cell processor announced today, we thought we'd hit up a quick post-mortem of the details divulged at the ISSCC, but they really didn't divulge much that hadn't already been rumored, speculated, or leaked (so what else is new, right?). Yes, they're calling it a "supercomputer" (never heard that pitch before), yes they're saying it'll be ten times faster than what's currently out, and yes, the part is running at more than 4GHz. What we didn't know is that bus will be built around Rambus's FlexIO technology with XDR memory, which will supposedly scale between 3.2 GHz to 8.0 GHz—pretty big numbers, but how much of this will turn out to be true and hype (and what it all means for real world performance) is yet to be seen. Stay tuned, as we can expect some interesting developments on the Cell in the coming months, no doubt.

Almost everyone recognizes the trademark of the Office of Foreign Missions--the red, white, and blue license tag on the diplomatic vehicles negotiating the streets and roadways of the United States. These tags represent just one of the many functions of the Office of Foreign Missions (OFM), which provides services to, and regulates the activities of, 1,700 foreign government missions to the United States and about 55,000 foreign mission members and their dependents. Services are provided to foreign missions in the United States as a reciprocal means of obtaining better treatment by other governments for U.S. missions and personnel overseas. OFM manages five major programs: Diplomatic Motor Vehicles, Travel, Real Property, Customs, and Tax. OFM regional offices in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami are often the local face of the State Department in their respective regions.
To help achieve its goals, OFM and its regional offices collaborate with other offices and bureaus in the Department, as well as other outside organizations. OFM has long conducted outreach programs to disseminate information to local law enforcement agencies on the protections that immunity gives diplomats and consular officials, and what they can do legally with a foreign mission member who breaks the law.
OFM explains foreign missions' privileges and responsibilities at seminars for local governments and business communities in partnership with representatives from the Office of Protocol and DS Protective Liaison Division.
Taxes on goods and services can dramatically increase the operating costs of American embassies and affect the morale of our personnel. OFM has broadly attacked the imposition of such taxation, arguing that it violates the spirit of the Vienna Conventions of Diplomatic and Consular Relations and a number of bilateral treaties. For those countries that do not provide tax relief, OFM will balance the inequity by withdrawing or restricting their tax exemption privileges in the United States.
Similarly, OFM works to improve other working and living conditions of the Department's overseas missions. OFM encourages posts to let it know of unwarranted restrictions, delays, or costs imposed by foreign governments on real property transactions, customs procedures, vehicle procurement and operation, and in-country travel. OFM provides these same conditions for foreign missions in the United States and thereby persuades foreign governments to improve their treatment of U.S. missions.

That was pretty frickin amazing, though. I kept thinking the pole was gonna go down without a fight, and then, blammo! The driver definitely wouldn't have made it...
Because its supposed to stop terrorists and the like from bombim important buildings. The life of some terrorist who is going to blow himself up anyway doesnt mean much when it saves hundreds/thousands of innocent people.
That said if it was explosives in the back I think the force of them flying forward could have detonated them, depending on hwat was used of course.
but it didnt really stop it, i mean most of it went flying forwards

How to Make a Leaflet
Individuals might have many different reasons to make a leaflet or other piece of literature for printed distribution. Making leaflets, brochures and pamphlets is something people often do when they are starting a small business. Another prime reason to make leaflets is for an awareness campaign for some cause or event. If you're wondering how to create a compelling printed leaflet, some general steps will help make the process easier.
Part 1 of 2: Planning
1Plan out ideas. Often, making a leaflet starts with some creative brainstorming. Taking the time to develop ideas will help when planning the printed page in more detail.Ad
2Develop themes. You'll most likely want a central theme for the leaflet. Developing words that go along with this theme will help when it's time to create all of the text that will go into this document. Each separate fold of a leaflet may have its own unique focus, so think about how each part of your project will fit together.
3Consider phrasing for titles and text. With overall themes in hand, the leaflet planner can develop those into phrases or slogans that might lead in leaflet text
4Do a rough layout. The rough layout for a leaflet is usually a sketch that will show where text and images will be positioned on the leaflet, how big the size of each text portion will be, and how much of the leaflet will be dedicated to each separate part or idea. This rough draft will show how much room is available and how it can be allocated.Ad
Part 2 of 2: Designing
1Design a leaflet digitally. More and more of those who are making this kind of literature are designing it with digital word processor or print shop programs.
- MS Word is a popular format for making a leaflet because it ships with so many personal computers. MS Word also has distinctive features, such as neat column additions, that allow for easy leaflet creation.
- Understand margins. Look at your software and understand how the digital setup will translate to the printed page, especially if you plan to fold the leaflet.
- Do a print preview. A page layout or print preview option helps to see how the leaflet will look when it is printed. MS Word also has these features to help planners evaluate final layout before the document is printed.
2Print out samples. When the leaflet is digitally designed, it's a good idea to print out a few copies and observe how they are actually printed on the page. Practice folding the leaflet and make sure that it is correct before printing hundreds of copies for distribution. Correct any errors as needed, and through trial and error, an attractive document should emerge.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Triple check, and then some. Mistakes spoil good work, so do a thorough edit. Come back to check the work days later, after you have gained some distance; this will help you to see errors faster.
- Always try to include pictures. These break up chunks of text and many people don't have time to read a lot and can use the visuals to quickly grasp the concepts and purpose of the leaflet.
- Make the leaflet informative. However, leave detailed explanations out and instead, refer the reader to a web link, so that if they're really interested, they can delve deeper in their own time, with ease.
- If you aren't good at making interesting content, do an online course or ask someone you know who is to help you out. It's a skill that can be learned with a little effort, so don't continue to think you can't do this part!

Sungevity starts off 2013 with new $125 million fund for home solar
- Details
- Published: January 18, 2013
- Written by Chris Meehan
It looks like an auspicious start to 2013 for Sungevity, the residential solar leasing company. On Jan. 16 it closed on a new $125 million fund to support growth of its solar leases throughout the U.S. and its two international markets, the Netherlands and most recently Australia.
The new round of funding includes a $40 million equity financing round led by Brightpath Capital Partners and Lowe's, a home improvement chain. The round also attracted new equity investors including Vision Ridge Partners, Craton Equity Partners and Eastern Sun Capital Partners, LLC. The balance of the funding includes a combined $85 million Energy Capital Partners (ECP) and a commercial bank, the company didn't name. Combined the $125 million is Sungevity's largest round of funding to date, said spokesperson John Ordona.
"Our ability to attract substantial investment from a list of respected backers is a powerful vote of confidence in our highly scalable growth model and customer-centric approach to doing business," said Sugevity CEO Andrew Birch. "We believe this new funding will take us into the next phase of growth."
The company will use the funds to develop solar projects across its nine state region, which includes Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York—as well as the two international locations. In the Netherlands it holds an equity stake in Zonline a solar company, and in Australia is operating through a joint venture called Sungevity Australia. The funds could help the company expand as well. "We are considering expansion to additional domestic markets, but we are providing specifics at this time," Ordona said.
The company announced a lot of new service territories in 2010 and 2011, but expansion slowed down in 2012 as the company focused on increasing efficiencies in its business model in 2012, the company said. Among other things it improved its Solar Social Strategy, which included partnering with companies and organizations including Lowe's, Credo Mobile, Sierra Club and expanding its network of installer partners. The company said the partnerships and work on the social aspects of its software referral program, means that most of its referrals now come from existing customers and partners, which resulted in its ability to reduce installation costs by 30 percent in 2012.
Still, the company is raising financing from a limited number of potential partners. Last year was a big year for discussing new financing mechanisms to expand solar, like creating securities and bonds, allowing more people to invest directly in solar companies or projects. "We are actively speaking to financiers on that and other structures," Ordona said. "There is a maturing of the asset class, which is leading us to the more mainstream financing solutions." Once solar companies like Sungevity can tap into that it could lead to a further lowering in project costs. That could start happening in 2013.

Mediocre "lawyer", inept President.
"Mediocre "lawyer", inept President....
Hey Mike, you should try a question or two from the LSAT... Then get an education.
Your stupidity is showing...
Calling Barack the President is an insult to the Presidency. Any politician or member of his administration would profit in the long-run by not supporting his initiatives.
I am sorry. Is this the candidate?
Barack obama is god. but i support sotomayer. i also licked Howard Sterns butt.
Nick Gerz: How was Howard? Sirius stock is below $1.00. Ouch.
Is it my imagination or does B.O. resemble Curious George?
Steve Scheurer:
I don't care about BO or Sotomayor. Did you see the chart on Sirius? Howard had $200 million worth of the common when it was between $6 and $7.
majority 4:05 doesn't realize how easy it is to be a lawyer. anyone with a 100 IQ can score the 720 i did.
Another Mike - The Majority most likely failed the LSAT and is not in law school. He is currently selling the WSJ in a booth outside of of Penn Station.
Hopefully Howard took the Bloomberg advice and shorted the stock.
Are there only brain- and jobless people here to put some comments?

Ford has lifted the appeal of its 'PX' Ranger pickup with the addition of a new $2107 heavy-duty steel bull-bar for 2014.
Joining the alloy bull-bar already available, Ford says its tough new Australian-developed and engineered steel bar was developed to meet the needs of the mining industry.
To boost the bar's credentials, Ford has worked to ensure that 5-Star ANCAP rated Ranger models are unaffected by installing the new ADR-compliant accessory.

The company says it has had significant feedback from customers both commercial and private on the potential for a more heavy-duty offering.
"We designed the heavy duty bull-bar for the harsh environments experienced in the mining industry but some of our more adventurous private customers put their Rangers through worse every weekend," Ford Australia's David Katic said.
The grey powder-coated bar integrates with the Ranger's safety systems, and also features a lower splash shield to prevent water making its way into the engine bay.

Did you know that nearly 25% of all Americans experience pain on a daily basis? Pain does not discriminate; there are numerous conditions that can cause symptoms that limit your movement and diminish your quality of life, from arthritis to peripheral neuropathy to TMJ.
Pain varies according to your diagnosis, and each person may experience pain differently. That's why the experts at SoBe Apothecary extensively study the unique characteristics of pain for each condition and the effects that different medication ingredients have on pain symptoms.
Based on this research, our highly skilled pharmacists develop customized topical creams that are formulated to specifically target the different types of pain and inflammation at their source. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, every SoBe Apothecary prescription is formulated for you and your specific need.
Proven, Lasting Pain Relief
Many Americans with chronic pain have tried multiple methods for pain relief to no avail and have given up hope for lasting relief. Others refuse to take pain medications for fear of unbearable side effects or becoming addicted. SoBe Apothecary can change these perceptions.
There are many benefits of a solution from SoBe Apothecary. Our formulations have proven successful in cases where no other pain reliever has helped. In addition, our topical creams are non-addictive and produce few, if any, side effects. All ingredients in our formulations areFDA approved and decrease the risk of adverse drug interactions.
How to Get a Custom-Compounded Medication from SoBe Apothecary
- All customized medications from SoBe Apothecary require a prescription from your doctor.
- Once we receive a prescription and your insurance information from your doctor, we will check your plan benefits. We will then call you to confirm we have contacted your insurance company. Depending on your plan, your prescription may or may not be covered. We will also discuss allergies and any other information pertinent to filling your order.
- If the prescription is covered, we will let you know whether you have a co-payment and if so, how much it will be.
- If the prescription is not covered, we will let you know what your out-of-pocket cost will be. Our goal is to help you obtain long-term pain relief, and we will work with you to ensure an affordable solution.
- Once you authorize us to proceed, our pharmacists will formulate your medication and ship it to you free-of-charge. Shipments usually take 2 to 3 days to arrive.
- A customer service representative will follow up with you 7 to 10 days after you receive your prescription to ensure that you are using it as directed, to answer any questions that you may have, and to verify that you are experiencing the desired results from SoBe Apothecary. The compounding pharmacist will provide feedback to your physician, who can adjust your prescription if needed.
To get the safe, effective pain relief that you desire and the quality of life you deserve, ask your doctor about SoBe Apothecary. For more information, call our compounding facility at 866-570-1375.
Pain can decrease your quality of life. Many people suffer with pain needlessly, mistakenly believing it is just a part of aging or that nothing can be done to help them. Pain can result from damage to nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. It can result from surgery, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or any number of conditions, including:
- Musculoskeletal Pain
- Neuropathic Pain
- Inflammation
- Upper/Lower Back Pain
- Cervical and Lumbar Radiculopathy
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Failed Back Syndrome
- Phantom Limb Pain
- Post-Surgical Pain
- Diabetic-Related Pain
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Sports-Related Pain
- Tendonitis
- Tendinosis
- Scarring
- Epicondylitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) / Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
- Spasms
When it comes to pain, we do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" mentality. At SoBe Apothecary, our compounding pharmacists realize that pain can vary with each condition, and they thoroughly research each condition and its associated pain syndrome to develop a customized formulation.
If your daily life is interrupted by pain related to any of these conditions, ask your doctor about SoBe Apothecary Compounding Pharmacy and get the relief you so desperately deserve. To learn more about our custom-compounded topical creams, call us today at 866-570-1375.
The pharmacists at SoBe Apothecary use a number of medications within various classes of drugs to create an effective pain relief treatment for almost any condition that causes musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain.
The types of medications that may be combined to develop a topical pain relief cream include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, local anesthetics, muscle relaxants, tricyclic anti-depressants, calcium channel blockers and others that have proven successful in relieving neuropathic pain.
Topical creams offer direct delivery to the source of pain while limiting absorption into the blood stream. Studies also show that creams can effectively be rubbed into the area of the spine that corresponds to the location of pain. For example, if you are experiencing pain down the outside of your leg, the pain is most likely coming from nerve damage involving the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5). Rubbing a SoBe Apothecary cream into the skin where the L5 vertebra is located (lower back) can decrease your leg pain.
Ask your doctor for a prescription for a custom compounded topical pain cream today. Contact SoBe Apothecary at 866-570-1375 to help you get the pain relief you deserve.
Benefits Of Using A Compounded Medication
Before the mass production of pharmaceuticals, pharmacists prepared medications from scratch through a process called compounding. With a mortar and pestle, they would mix ingredients by hand and create a customized medication to meet each patient's unique needs.
One Patient's Experience with Compounding
"For more than 10 years, I've experienced joint and muscle pain. My pain is so severe that I couldn't stand living without effective analgesic treatment because almost all physical activity would be impossible.
I found compounded preparations to be very effective in controlling my pain level and safer than prescription drugs available from a retail pharmacy because compounds can be customized.
My pain management physician has prescribed many commercially available analgesics for me, but all of those products have one significant drawback or another, such as producing side effects like constipation or drowsiness, and they are not as effective as the compounds I now use. For example, every manufactured form of oral hydrocodone contains other ingredients, such as acetaminophen, that would be harmful in the daily intake required to manage my severe pain.
My customized medication allows me to be more comfortable day to day, and on a pain scale of 1 to 10, they reduce my pain level from a definite 10 to about a 5. My current pain regimen, which includes compounded preparations, enables me to enjoy activities that are both pleasurable and possible, such as bicycling, and to live a normal life without the limits that severe pain imposes ." -- C.S.
SoBe Apothecary is proud to offer this same centuries-old service today, albeit with high tech, electronic equipment to do the mixing and preparation for us. With your doctor's approval, our certified compounding pharmacists can create a topical medication specifically for your pain.
Why is a formulation from SoBe Apothecary better than a traditional pharmaceutical medication? The topical application of a custom compounded cream has many advantages, including:
- Delivers relief directly to the source of pain
- Minimizes absorption into the blood stream
- Decreases inflammation
- Quickly provides measurable and identifiable pain relief
- Greater effectiveness and results
- Produces fewer side effects
- Reduces the possibility of adverse drug interactions
- Formulations are non-addictive
- Minimizes oxidative stress
- Reduces organ toxicity
In addition, all medicinal ingredients in our custom formulations are FDA approved. Prescriptions are covered by most commercial insurance plans, and we have a dedicated customer service team available to assist you.
Other Benefits of Compounded Medications
- We maintain an ongoing relationship with you and your doctor. Based on feedback from you, your doctor may instruct us to adjust your formulation to increase its effectiveness. Through continuous communication, we can fine-tune your prescription until you are getting the desired results.
- Some people are allergic to certain inactive ingredients in a medication, such as a preservative or dye. With our specially prepared creams, we can eliminate allergic ingredients.
- For those who have difficulty swallowing pills, capsules or tablets, the topical application of a cream increases the likelihood patients will comply with treatment.
- If you have a hard-to-treat condition that doesn't respond to off-the-shelf prescriptions, or the strength of the medicine you need is not commercially available, we can customize a formulation just for you.
If you have pain that hasn't responded to traditional pharmaceuticals or unique health care needs, compounding may be the only satisfactory solution. Call SoBe Apothecary at 866-570-1375 to get the relief you deserve.
How To Apply
Your SoBe Apothecary formulation is a topical cream, which limits absorption into the blood stream and helps reduce side effects, drug interactions and organ toxicity that may be associated with oral medications. To apply, simply massage directly into the area of your body affected by pain. For more information, download the form below.

TRANSDERMAL CREAM PATIENT INSTRUCTIONSYour doctor has recommended and prescribed a compounded medication that will be made to treat your specific needs. Every prescription from SoBe Apothecary is mixed specifically for you, based on your condition and what your doctor has requested.
SoBe Apothecary creams are developed based on advanced scientific research/data and patient feedback. The cream prescribed for you has been proven to be an effective topical pain treatment for your indication. However, as every person experiences pain differently, SoBe Apothecary may need to adjust the formulation for it to be effective for you.
As such, a SoBe Apothecary representative will contact you prior to compounding your prescription to discuss allergies and information pertinent to filling your order. The pharmacy will contact your insurance provider to verify your coverage and co-pay, and will provide this information to you at that time.

Students plastered Esme Kenney's locker - and seven adjacent ones - with dozens of cards, drawings, and posters and placed several teddy bears and flowers on the floor. A wall nearby contains another 150 or so letters, cards and messages from students. / The Enquirer/Denise Smith Amos
Police knew Anthony Kirkland was dangerous long before they found him sleeping in the woods of Winton Hills Saturday night near the body of Esme Kenney.
They knew he had fatally beaten and burned a woman more than 20 years ago. They knew he was a convicted sex offender. They knew a halfway house had evicted him in late February and he was suspected of a crime spree that included an assault, a stabbing and threats against the mother of his child.
So when they found Kirkland on the edge of the wooded area near where Esme went jogging, her watch and iPod in his pocket, they immediately suspected the worst.
They found the 13-year-old girls body three hours later, about 100 yards away, her body hidden under brush in the heavily wooded area across the street from her Winton Hills home.

Bronson: A sad and horrible way to die
The question many now are asking is why a man with Kirklands criminal history a man authorities say may be linked to two other, unsolved homicides was walking free in the first place.
We are examining everything in this case, including why somebody like this is walking around on our streets, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said. Frankly it doesnt surprise me anymore, but it is very upsetting.
Kirkland, 40, is facing eight charges: murder, abduction, aggravated burglary, felonious assault, domestic violence, aggravated menacing, violation of a protection order and failure to provide notification related to Esmes death and three other crimes in the last 10 days.
Bond was set Monday at $5,325,000.
Cincinnati police say they are looking at Kirkland in connection to two 2006 homicides, 45-year-old Mary Jo Newton and 14-year-old Casonya Sharee Crawford, whose burned bodies were found in secluded areas of Avondale in May and June of 2006.
Hamilton County Coroner Odell Owens said the killer attempted to burn Esmes body, but he would not elaborate since his office had not made a final determination about how she died.
Kirklands arrest Saturday was not his first for a violent crime. He was convicted in 1987 of killing a woman by beating her and setting her on fire while she was still alive, a crime for which he served 16 years in prison.
While on parole for that crime, he was arrested for asking a 13-year-old girl for sex. That landed him in an Over-the-Rhine halfway house run by Volunteers of America. The halfway house released him Feb. 27 after officials there said he got into a fight with another resident.
Police were called to the halfway house, but did not arrest Kirkland. Officials at the halfway house then released Kirkland, but did not notify his parole officer until two days later.
We are examining what occurred, said Chris Lohrman, president of Volunteers of America.
Esme left her Winton Hills home at about 3:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon to jog around a reservoir, a route she had taken many times with her parents.
Saturday, she went alone, but her parents knew when she was leaving and expected her home within a half an hour, said Cincinnati Spokesman Lt. Mark Briede. When she wasnt back in that allotted time, they called police, who responded to the home and took a missing persons report.
(Kenney)...went for a jog around water tower approx. 1545 and has not been seen since. Not usual for daughter to be gone this long and doesnt often go for runs, the report taker wrote.
Police started searching immediately, Briede said.
The news that Esme was dead spread quickly through her neighborhood and school. Flowers adorned her locker at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts, and visitors bearing flowers flocked to the family home in Winton Hills.
Esmes parents, Tom and Lisa Kenney, werent surprised by the response. They said their daughter not only wanted to enrich her own life, but also the lives of others.
Esme was outgoing and loving. She had a poets sense of life, her mother said. You hear that youre not supposed to be friends with your child, but with Esme you couldnt help it.
Relatives said Esme was a talented musician who played guitar and pursued anything that interested her with a passion. They said she wanted to learn as much as she could about the world around her.
She enjoyed the outdoors, had recently taken up photography and was an avid swimmer who had passed a boating course last summer.
Esme had an enthusiasm for everything she did in life, said her brother, Brian. Her personality was giving, kind and open-hearted. Her enthusiasm was infectious.
As friends and family mourned Esmes loss, some also expressed anger and frustration over Kirklands suspected involvement.
Parents are outraged, said Leuna Kelly, of Northside, as she picked up her child and friends Monday at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts. His criminal record is unbelievable. He was building up to this. He took a light and put it out.
Esmes cousin, Brad Kenney, said the family would not comment on the investigation, but he said the tragedy is another reminder that the justice system needs to do a better job identifying the criminals who can be rehabilitated, and those who cannot.
There are some criminals that are absolutely beyond rehabilitation and need to be kept permanently locked up, he said.
Authorities had been looking for Kirkland for more than a week, ever since his release from the halfway house.
Prison records show Kirkland was sentenced in 1987 to seven to 25 years in prison on charges of voluntary manslaughter and aggravated arson. Kirkland, who was 18 at the time, was charged with murder and arson for assaulting Leola Douglas, dousing her with lighter fluid and setting fire to her. Douglas apparently was alive when Kirkland set the fire and her severely burned body was found at the top of some stairs leading into Kirklands house in Walnut Hills.
Police said Kirkland confessed to the 1987 crime shortly after his arrest. His lawyer at the time said Kirkland and Douglas argued after she threatened to expose an affair Kirkland was having with a married woman. Kirkland served 16 years and was released on parole Sept. 3, 2003.
The following October, he was released from parole, having committed no new crimes.
In January, 2005, Kirkland was accused of breaking into a neighbors Evanston home and raping her at knifepoint. He was acquitted of that charge.
He was convicted twice in 2007, once for threatening to kill his 18-month-old son and again for soliciting sex from a 13-year-old girl. He also appeared in court after a group of people sought a protection order against him. Court records dont say why they wanted protection, but a judge ordered Kirkland to stay away from them.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Melba Marsh sentenced Kirkland to the one-year maximum sentence for soliciting sex from the teenaged girl, followed by five more years on parole. Marsh also designated Kirkland a sex offender and ordered him to annually register his name on a public list and any time he moves.
Marsh recalled the case and described Kirkland as sinister.
From testimony, there is no doubt about it, he was a predator, Marsh said.
Kirkland finished the prison term on Oct. 20, 2008 then was ordered to the Pogue Rehabilitation Center, the Over-the-Rhine halfway house.
Kirkland was not participating in the centers sex offender program, Lohrman said. He said to protect Kirklands privacy he could not explain why.
Events at the halfway house on the night of Friday, Feb. 27 set in a motion a crime spree, according to the Adult Parole Authority, police and court records.
Kirkland fought with another inmate late that night. Police were called, but the inmate did not want to press charges, Lohrman said.
Because fighting isnt allowed, Kirkland was thrown out. Police escorted him away but did not arrest him because the other resident wouldnt press charges.
By leaving and not registering his address elsewhere, Kirkland broke the law.
Volunteers of America didnt report Kirkland leaving until the following Monday morning, according to Lohrman and Andrea Carson, a spokeswoman for the parole authority.
Lohrman said workers have no way of contacting parole officers on the weekend. Carson disputed that, saying workers there do have contact information for parole officers.
Briede said its unclear what information officers had about Kirkland when he was leaving.
After learning about Kirkland, Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Monzel called on state officials to stop sending sex offenders to Cincinnati for treatment and to help close the Pogue Center, something hed asked the state to do in 2006.
For years the Volunteers of America have been running facilities in Cincinnati that have made our city a virtual dumping ground for sexual predators from all over the state, Monzel said. Its time for this facility to close once and for all and the only way this is going to happen is if the state to stops paroling them here after being released from prison.
On March 1 before authorities knew Kirkland had left he was accused of breaking into an Avondale home, hiding in the bathroom and then attacking Frederick Hughes when he came home, stabbing him with a pair of scissors 10 times, according to court records. Hughes was treated at the hospital and survived.
Learning what happened on Monday, parole officers began looking for Kirkland immediately, Carson said.
On March 4, a warrant was issued on a charge for failing to provide notice of change of address.
The search lasted through the week, with the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team joining the search on Thursday, March 5.
That day, he is accused of threatening the mother of his child with a knife, a violation of a protection order put in place in 2007.
On Saturday, the day Esme went for jog, police were still looking for Kirkland.

Midwest No. 4: Nub's Nob, Harbor Springs, Mich.
Nub's Nob wrestled El Niño to the mat last winter and pinned it. While other resorts were whining, Nub's had its best year ever, which may explain why readers ranked it as the top ski-only (no lodging) resort in the Midwest.
When Nub's Nob shot to the top of the Midwest Top 10 last year, it was a shocker. After all, the northern Michigan resort is a ski area with no hotel, no snazzy restaurants and no marketing director in a three-piece suit.
It's not as glitzy as next-door Squaw Valley. Nor does it have all the amenities of its more famous neighbor. And you won't find many ski-and-snowboard rock stars hanging out at the base here. But you won't find many posers, either.
A listing of the top 100 instructors in the Midwest.
Nub's Nob finishing No. 1 in the Midwest is the biggest upset since Apollo Creed's lights were turned out by Rocky Balboa. One reader says Nub's is the "Midwest's best-kept secret." That's about to change.
A list of Top 100 Instructors in the Midwest.
