When I run this code, I get a NoSuchFileException. Could you please help me on this?


We're about to ring in the new year, and what better way to celebrate than with finger foods and cocktails? I love serving "little bites" at parties (you can read about the history of finger foods here). The small portions allow guests to sample many tasty dishes without filling up too much on any one particular thing.
To celebrate the new year, I've put together this roundup of scrumptious appetizer and cocktail recipes for the secular new year. It features recipes from me as well as my food blogging friends. Cheers!
Happy New year enjoy. .
FYI: Am having it (lox, et al) again this NY's. Might become a tradition.
Some of the links are not working 🙁 specifically the pomegranate champagne drink.
Just double checked and all links appear to be working on my end. Make sure you're clicking the link below each picture.
Can I come to your New Year's Eve party? Much better food and drinks than mine………… But I am going go try a couple of them.
Naughty caper! LOL Glad you enjoyed it Shauna!
Can't wait to try some of these. One comment, in the Lavender Gimlet, the directions say "Place the lavender buds in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Crush them with the back of a wooden spoon to help release the flavor. Add the lavender…" Just want to be sure that you really meant "Add the agave…"?
Wow! What a delicious set of recipes! How I am I supposed to decide which to make?! Can I make them all in one day?! Seriously though, thanks for these, I don't have to look anywhere else!
Why can't we eat like this every day? Thanks for including me and Happy New Year!

Tuberous Sclerosis Pathophysiology
By Yolanda Smith, B.Pharm.
Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disease with a broad clinical spectrum that has the potential to affect almost every organ system. It involves mutations in certain genes (TSC1 and TSC2) that are responsible for the production of proteins that usually help to regulate cell division and growth in the body.

When this balance is disrupted by the gene mutations, characteristic hamartomas may grow in various locations around the body such as the brain, skin, kidney, liver, lungs, and heart, affecting the function of these organs.
TSC1 and TSC2 gene mutations
There are two specific gene mutations known to be associated with tuberous sclerosis. The TSC1 gene mutation occurs on chromosome 9 and is related to the production of the hamartin protein. Comparatively, the TSC2 is on chromosome 16 and affects the production of tuberin protein. Taken together, these genes are thought to cause the characteristic tumors of tuberous sclerosis.
The gene mutation may be inherited from a parent who carries the gene or may occur spontaneously in the affected individual. Most cases of tuberous sclerosis present sporadically, with no known family history of the disease; however, approximately 1 in 3 patients inherit a defected TSC1 or TSC2 gene.
If one parent has tuberous sclerosis, any children will carry a 50% risk of inheriting the disease. This condition follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, which explains why males and females are equally affected.
Hamartin and tuberin proteins
Hamartin and tuberin are thought to play a role in a complex that controls cell growth and division in the body. To date, the exact mechanism of pathology that leads to unregulated cell growth and the appearance of tumors is not known, although it is thought to be due to changes in the signaling of mTOR. Thus, the proteins hamartin and tuberin are considered to modulate gene transcription and suppress tumor growth.
The 2-hit model of tumorigenesis by Knudson specifies that the formation of the tumor requires a second mutation and a loss of heterozygosity (LOH). This suggestion follows from the presence of LOH in several hamartomas around the body in people with tuberous sclerosis.
Tuberous Sclerosis – Mayo Clinic
Affected areas and organs
Tuberous sclerosis can cause tumors to grow in various locations around the body and are known to affect several different organs. As a result, the severity of the condition can vary greatly between individuals and the symptoms will therefore also be different.
Tumors of the brain are most commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis and often cause seizures or developmental delays in affected individuals. In general, multiple tumors or those that are larger in size cause the most significant problems.
Lesions that present on the skin or around nails do not usually cause serious problems but can be particularly troublesome for individuals who are worried about the aesthetic effects of this condition.
Angiomyolipoma and cysts in the kidneys can affect the renal function of the individual and, in severe cases, renal failure may result. Some patients also note symptoms similar to polycystic kidney disease, which has similar genetic characteristics to tuberous sclerosis.
Cardiac rhabdomyoma refers to tumors that grow in the heart. When present in adults, the tumor is not usually large enough in size to cause significant damage; however, in newborn infants, these tumors can be fatal.
Pulmonary cysts and lymphangioleimoyomatosis (LAM) can affect the lungs, the latter of which is the most common cause of fatality for patients who exhibit evidence of LAM.

Study examines cannabidiol's effect on simulated driving
Cannabidiol and the shifting perspective of epilepsy drug discovery

A recent article published in the Journal of Coastal Research analysed a number of different sea-level records and reported that they found no acceleration of sea-level rise. We show that this is due to their focusing on records that are either too short or only regional in character, and on their specific focus on acceleration since the year 1930, which represents a unique minimum in the acceleration curve. We find that global sea-level rise is accelerating in a way strongly correlated with global temperature. This correlation also explains the acceleration minimum for time periods starting around 1930; it is due to the mid-twentieth-century plateau in global temperature.
In a recent paper, (Houston and Dean, 2011) cast doubt on whether global sea-level rise has accelerated over the past century or so, and they questioned the link between global warming and an acceleration of sea-level rise shown in a number of recent studies (Grinsted, Moore, and Jevrejeva, 2009; Jevrejeva, Grinsted, and Moore, 2009; Rahmstorf, 2007; Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2009). They conclude by asking "why this worldwide-temperature increase has not produced acceleration of global sea level over the past 100 years, and indeed why global sea level has possibly decelerated for at least the last 80 years" (p. 416).
The global sea-level reconstruction of Church and White (2006) shows a small deceleration since 1930, but 1930 is a uniquely chosen start date in this respect, and this deceleration is neither statistically significant nor robust across different sea-level data sets.
Many U.S. tide gauges show a deceleration; since 1930, most of them do. However, again, 1930 is a special choice, and U.S. tide gauges only provide a regional signal, not a global one.
The authors' extension of the Douglas (1992) sea-level compilation shows a sea-level deceleration for 1905–2010, but this data set is not a global average but is instead highly biased to the Northern Hemisphere. It is known that the twentieth-century acceleration is largely found in the Southern Hemisphere (Merrifield, Merrifield, and Mitchum, 2009), and the only two Southern Hemisphere groups in the extended Douglas data set indeed show acceleration.
Decadal trends in tide gauge compilations show large variations over the full record, and the most recent decadal trends are not unusual. However, these variations in decadal tide gauge trends are not a climate signal but rather are dominated by sampling noise due to the inadequate number of tide gauges.
The satellite altimeter record shows a slight deceleration since 1993, but this time interval is far too short to draw any conclusions.
In the following we will discuss these issues in detail.
When fitting a quadratic equation to sea-level data, Houston and Dean ignore the fact that global warming has not been linear in time, nor can the sea-level history be well described by a linear increase in the rate of rise, i.e., a quadratic increase in sea level itself. Instead, both follow a more complex time evolution with a high correlation between temperature and the rate of sea-level rise. Hence, Houston and Dean's method of fitting a quadratic and discussing just one number, the acceleration factor, is inadequate.
Modelling sea level as a simple function of time, H(t), is not physical, because time is not the direct cause of sea-level rise. The more physical approach used in the semi-empirical models cited previously is to model sea level as function of temperature, H(T). These approaches would converge only if temperature were to increase linearly in time—then semi-empirical models would give a constant acceleration of sea-level rise (Rahmstorf, 2007; Vermeer and Rahmstorf, 2009). However, global temperature evolution over the twentieth century is not even close to that, and neither is global sea level close to parabolic behaviour.
Houston and Dean even seem to think that despite the much faster warming expected in the twenty-first century, the same acceleration value should apply to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They write that "it is not clear that the acceleration necessary to achieve these comparatively large projected rises in mean sea level over the course of the 21st century is evident in tide-gauge records" (p. 409). Why would tide gauge data of the twentieth century show the acceleration expected in the twenty-first century? What we may expect instead is for tide gauge data of the twentieth century to follow the temperature evolution of the twentieth century. That is indeed the case, as shown in detail below.
Houston and Dean (2011) focus mostly on acceleration for the period 1930 to today, both for their sample of U.S. tide gauges (their Table 1) and the global sea-level record of Church and White (2006) (their Figure 1), stressing the slight negative acceleration over this period. In our Figure 1, we show the acceleration for the Church and White (2006) data up to the present, but for all starting years between 1870 and 1970, not just for 1930. The figure shows a pronounced minimum in acceleration values for starting years around 1930. Houston and Dean (2011) admit that they deliberately selected this starting year because of this feature: "Since the worldwide data of Church and White (2006) … appear to have a linear rise since around 1930, we analyzed the period 1930 to 2010." Positive acceleration is found for both earlier and later starting years, as Figure 1 here shows.
Acceleration of sea-level rise (i.e., twice the quadratic coefficient) from different starting years up to 2001 in the global tide gauge data set of Church and White (2006; solid line), as compared to the same quantity from the sea-level hindcast of Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009; dashed line) based on global temperature data. Note that we followed Houston and Dean in not accounting for the time-varying error bars of the tide gauge data, which is why we get slightly different numbers than those reported in Church and White (2006). We also show a conservative estimate of 2σ uncertainty in the acceleration, which accounts for an autocorrelation of 40% at lag 1 y and uses uniformly weighted data.
Figure 1 also answers the concluding question posed by Houston and Dean, cited on the opening paragraph here. The semi-empirical models predict and thus explain the acceleration minimum around 1930 as a consequence of the plateau in the global temperature record in the middle of the twentieth century. Since global temperature did not rise from about 1940 to about 1980, one cannot expect any significant acceleration of sea-level rise over this period.
When correlating sea level with global temperature, nonclimatic influences on sea level can muddy the waters and are best removed to isolate the climatic effect on sea level. Glacial isostatic adjustment is routinely corrected for, and in Figure 2 we show the way in which correcting for water storage in artificial reservoirs (Chao, Wu, and Li, 2008) affects the results, following Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009). This significantly improves the agreement between the sea-level acceleration predicted from global temperature and the acceleration actually found in the tide gauge data.
The same as Figure 1, but here the sea-level data are corrected for water storage in artificial reservoirs (Chao, Wu, and Li, 2008).
Houston and Dean rightly point out that one should likewise correct for the water mined from deep groundwater sources for irrigation purposes. However, no suitable time series of twentieth-century groundwater mining is available. Nevertheless, Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009) performed a sensitivity study of this effect, and Rahmstorf, Perrette, and Vermeer (personal communication) included the very high estimate of Wada et al. (2010) and assumed that water mining is proportional to global population (to extend it back in time before groundwater extraction data are available). The result is that groundwater mining only has a minor effect on semi-empirical sea-level projections: Inclusion of this effect only lowers projected future sea level by a few percent. A key strength of modelling sea level as a function of temperature is that the calibration with past data automatically tends to select for climatic effects. Nonclimatic sea-level changes do not correlate so well with temperature in the past and hence have a lesser influence on the model parameters that describe the correlation of sea level with temperature. Houston and Dean suggest that the sea-level data call into question the predictions of semi-empirical models. However, as Figures 1 and 2 show, the opposite is the case.
It should be noted that the updated global sea-level reconstruction by Church and White (2011) also shows a minimum in acceleration for starting years around 1930 (confirming this is a robust feature), but acceleration does not become negative there; it instead shows positive acceleration throughout, from any starting date up to AD 1970 (after which short-term noise dominates the calculations, and results oscillate strongly). Hence, not deceleration but acceleration is a robust feature of the global sea-level reconstructions, and sea level has responded to global warming just as suggested by semi-empirical models. Sea level in recent decades has risen faster than Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections (Rahmstorf et al., 2007), which are lower than those of semi-empirical models.
In addition to the global sea-level record of Church and White (2006), Houston and Dean (2011) analyse (i) a group of U.S. tide gauge records and (ii) a small group of globally distributed long records used earlier by Douglas (1992). For the U.S. records, they find on average a deceleration since 1930 that is larger than that in the global record. For the full record lengths of each gauge, they find an average acceleration close to zero. However, the periods considered vary greatly (with starting years ranging from the 1850s to the 1940s), so simple averaging of the acceleration factors makes little sense. Also, use of only U.S. gauges does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the acceleration of global sea-level rise.
It is well known that water motions between different parts of the world, e.g., between Northern and Southern Hemisphere, cause regional sea-level changes unrelated to the mechanisms of global sea-level change. Houston and Dean note the analysis of Merrifield, Merrifield, and Mitchum (2009), which shows that the twentieth-century acceleration of sea-level rise is not evident in northern data but rather stems from tropical and Southern Hemisphere data.
This picture is consistent with the fact that their U.S. gauges show little acceleration, and it is also consistent with their extension of the analysis of Douglas (1992). As their Table 2 shows, the average "group acceleration" since 1905 of the eight Northern Hemisphere groups in this collection is −0.022 mm/yr2, while for the two Southern Hemisphere groups it is +0.027 mm/yr2. Averaging these two values, weighted by the respective ocean areas of both hemispheres, yields a positive acceleration of 0.0059 mm/yr2. However, Houston and Dean report a negative acceleration for these data because they form a simple average over all groups, thus introducing a strong Northern Hemisphere bias. This illustrates that the excessive weighting of Northern Hemisphere records in the simple averaging used by Houston and Dean is sufficient to explain the deceleration they found in this data set.
In their Figure 6, Houston and Dean show decadal trends in sea-level rise over the past century that vary widely, oscillating from less than −1 to more than +5 mm/yr. What is the nature of these variations? When looking at an overlay of decadal trends from a range of different tide gauge reconstructions, it is clear that these variations are highly inconsistent between different data sets and thus cannot be considered true variability of global mean sea level (Rahmstorf, Perrette, and Vermeer, personal communication). Rather, they are evidently a noise problem. For example, coincident with the high 1970 peak in Figure 6 of Houston and Dean (2011), another global reconstruction (Jevrejeva et al., 2008) shows a minimum with near-zero decadal rise. Also, the tide gauge reconstruction in Figure 6 of Houston and Dean (2011) shows a negative decadal rate centred on the year 2000, when the satellite altimeter record shows a decadal rate of rise of almost 4 mm/yr.
Christiansen, Schmith, and Theill (2010) have shown that the short-term noise in global tide gauge data compilations is almost fully attributable to inadequate spatial sampling by the limited number of coastal sites and their very uneven global distribution, getting poorer still going back in time. The principal components–based reconstruction technique of Church and White aims at, and partially succeeds in, mitigating this. It shows greatly reduced variability in decadal sea-level trends but still contains some sampling noise.
Rahmstorf, Perrette, and Vermeer (personal communication) have shown that even very little random noise in the sea-level data, with a standard deviation of only 5 mm and 40% autocorrelation for 1 y lag, is enough to cause fluctuations in decadal sea-level trends of the magnitude shown by Houston and Dean. Hence, their claim that the altimeter trend is not unusually high ("the altimeter measurements appear similar to several decadal oscillations over the past 100 years," p. 415) mistakes the sampling noise of the tide gauges for a meaningful signal. The altimeter data do not suffer from this sampling problem due to their near-global coverage.
Finally, Houston and Dean argue with the slight deceleration found in the altimeter data, a record that began only in 1993. Given the brevity of this record, it would be highly premature to draw conclusions about the sea-level response to global warming from such small short-term variations in the trend. The main feature of the altimeter data is that the trend is very linear and has much less short-term variability than seen in the tide gauge reconstructions.
In summary, we find that the deceleration in sea-level rise reported by Houston and Dean either applies to a far-too-brief time interval (since 1993), or to a unique and specially selected start date (1930), or only to regional, strongly Northern Hemisphere–biased records that are spatially or temporally averaged in an inappropriate manner. None of this supports a lack of acceleration in global sea-level rise, as compared to what is expected from global warming.
Outside a few starting years around 1930, global sea-level reconstructions robustly show a modern acceleration of sea-level rise in conjunction with global warming. A modern acceleration is also supported by data going back further in time, which show constant sea level preceding AD 1800. The tide gauge reconstruction of Jevrejeva et al. (2008) starting in AD 1700 finds a stable sea level from 1700 to 1800, with the largest rate of rise in the latter half of the twentieth century, and the proxy data of Kemp et al. (2011) show a period of stable sea level from AD 1400 to 1800, with the twentieth-century rate of rise unprecedented in at least the past 2000 y.
Moreover, when the rate of global sea-level rise is correlated to global temperature data, this correlation not only explains the lack of acceleration since 1930, it also is both highly statistically significant and points to a sea level that responds more strongly to global warming than predictions by climate models would indicate. This is why semi-empirical models, which use the observed sea-level data and their link to temperature, yield much higher sea-level projections than the model-based ones of the IPCC (2007).


51st EKF Senior Championships I was in Montpellier, France between Tuesday, May 3rd and Tuesday, May 10th to be at the karate competition.
Montpellier is a resort located facing the Mediterranean Sea and is a home to the dojo owned by the French Karate Federation (their office is in Paris). Their dojo was chosen as a venue for this general meeting of European Karate Federation(EKF).
During the competition, I had an opportunity to dine with EKF Referee Commission members. I would often bump into them at the competition, but would only exchange greetings and never had a chance to have a conversation. It was rewarding to exchange opinions and share my thoughts on the 2020 and 2024 Olympics in a relaxed environment. Each EKF Referee Commission member is passionate about karate and has unique perspectives.
The competition was held in the arena in the city. It was so popular that every day, the spectators lined up to enter the arena. As one would expect from the continent where it has most number of members, the competition was organized successfully.
Europe has been known for its competitive level of both kata (form) and kumite (sparring), but I saw most growth in the male kata; in addition to their strong physique, the quality of their technique has grown largely.
The Male Team Kumite finals was an amazing match in many aspects including the drive, diversity, and energy in the movements. The final match began with France at an advantage with two wins and one loss. French placed a jodan tsuki (head-level strike) and Turkey acted out in pain. The French home-ground supporters booed loudly, but the French athlete gestured the supporters to quiet down and the supporters listened to him. The French athlete could have joined the supporter, but he did not. When I saw that the French athlete carried through with his sportsmanship, I was touched; that is how all the top karate athletes should be.


The Lipscomb Lady Bisons evened their road trip this weekend at 1-1 as they fell 2-1 Sunday afternoon to USC-Upstate in an Atlantic Sun soccer game.
Santana De Freitas scored the first goal of the game, taking a shot that went into the right corner of the net at 10:10 of the first half.
Sophomore forward Kate Spellman tied the game for the Lady Bisons at 1-1 at 16:24 of the first half. Spellman, with an assist from sophomore forward Halie Proffitt, drew Upstate's goalekeeper out high and then scored with a corner kick.
It was the fourth goal of the season for Spellman, a team, season and career high.
With approximately six minutes left Catherine Nolff scored what proved to be the game-winner.
The Lady Bisons are 3-8-1, 1-3 in the A-Sun. Upstate is 3-8-0, 1-3 in the conference.

MULLER BRITISH ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS STATEMENT
MANCHESTER CONFIRMED AS HOST OF BRITISH ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020-2022


Civil servant imprisoned for leaking details of alleged US plan to bomb al-Jazeera.
Judge Richard Aikens said in sentencing Keogh: "You decided that you did not like what you saw. Without consulting anyone, you decided on your own that it was in the best interest of the UK that this letter should be disclosed.
"Your reckless and irresponsible action in disclosing this letter when you had no right to could have cost the lives of British citizens."
Keogh, who worked at a government communications bunker, was accused of passing the memo to Leo O'Connor, a politician's researcher and Keogh's co-accused, in May 2004.
O'Connor, 44, in turn placed it in a file he handed to his boss, Anthony Clarke, then a member of the UK parliament, who had voted against Britain's decision to join the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Clarke then acted to alert the authorities.
Keogh told the court he felt strongly about the memo, which he had to relay to diplomats overseas using secure methods, and hoped it would come to wider attention.
The Daily Mirror newspaper previously reported that the memo showed Blair arguing against Bush's suggestion of bombing Al Jazeera's headquarters in Doha, Qatar.
The newspaper said its sources disagreed on whether Bush's suggestion was serious.
Blair said he had no information about any proposed US action against Al Jazeera, and the White House called the claims "outlandish and inconceivable."
The document, marked "Secret-Personal," was intended to be restricted to senior officials.
The memo's contents, which are considered so sensitive that much of the trial was heard behind closed doors, have not been directly referred to by counsel or witnesses in open court.


If there was one purported diva we would not want to piss off, it's probably Mariah Carey. Okay, Martha Stewart, but also Mariah Carey. Apparently Nick Cannon doesn't share our concerns, however.
Nick is reportedly writing a scathing tell-all about his marriage to Mariah. The Daily Mail confirmed that he signed a deal with Simon & Schuster last week.
Rumors are swirling that his decision to write the book came after she rejected his demand for a $30 million divorce settlement.
"Mariah was willing to give Nick $10 million but he said 'hell no' and demanded $30," a family friend told the Daily Mail.
"Mariah says it is what they agreed to in the prenup before they got married."
An "insider" says Nick intends to "tell the world about Mariah's drug use, her strange eating habits, psychosis, what she has said about other artists, her sexual proclivities and her parenting skills." The source adds, "Nick is also going to explain why he thinks he should have full custody of the twins. Mariah has admitted she never wanted children and Nick is going to tell the world why she felt that way."
Alright, if by chance someone left this book open in front of us, we'd definitely be curious enough to sneak a peek at the vengeful gossip, but we're hoping that for the sake of Mariah and their two children that Nick's forthcoming tell-all turns out to be about his career. Or sandwiches.
Is Mariah Carey's New Single a Nick Cannon Diss Track?

The broadly based liberal studies curriculum provides students with a diversified background, which, in concert with their professional training, should lead to a successful career in art and applied vocations.
Art students have an opportunity to become members of two organizations in the department: Art Society and Potter's Guild. Being involved in co-curricular experience enhances student professional development: managerial skills and effective communication skills. Student involvement contributes to a broad experience at the university and making valuable connections with the community.
The Art Society manages the student run gallery, and sets and curates exhibitions. It is open to proposals by individual students and groups.
The Art Department at Slippery Rock offers students a strong foundation to be an active artist. Faculty is comprised of art professionals from various backgrounds and disciplines, who are focused on providing individualized instruction for every student that we teach. Students who major in art will develop the capacity to make tangible their aesthetic responses to experience. Our programs provide students with a diverse background, which, in concert with their professional training, should lead to a successful career in art and applied vocations. By increasing awareness of themselves, their environment and their culture, and by learning to think and act creatively, students prepare themselves for a life enriched through art.
Art majors will possess the traits & abilities of an artist upon graduation.
Freshman: perceptual openness, flexibility and adapting, courage to take risks, ability to analyze, self-confidence.
Sophomore: ability to resist premature closure, sensitivity to problems, ability to synthesize.
Junior: independence in making judgments, fluency.
Senior: intrinsic motivation, high degree of self-awareness.
Art majors continue to develop a direction: medium, idea and/or style.
Art majors will display a technical expertise commensurate with their ideological level.
Art majors will produce a quantity of work representative of time spent in the studio and successful understanding of studio techniques.
Art majors will apply knowledge of art history to understand, evaluate and engage in art and art-making, recognizing their placement within a larger context.
Many of SRU's programs have achieved national recognition, and the entire University has enjoyed a growing reputation as one of the area's most vibrant academic communities. SRU's Art Department attracts a diverse population from throughout the world. The stimulating atmosphere of the Art Department and small class sizes provide the best possible student-to-professor relationships.
Instruction is individualized to meet each student's needs and interests. Advanced students attend a weekly conference with one of the art professors. In these sessions, students are encouraged to discuss and explore new ideas in depth.
The Art Department at SRU has an excellent and dedicated faculty. Members hold advanced degrees from prestigious institutions across the nation, and they maintain active exhibition and scholarly careers.
Why Choose Fine & Performing Arts?


Cellulite can destroy a person's self image. Too many people don't know much about it to keep it from diminishing their confidence. Fortunately, you can learn some helpful tips in this article.
Boost the amount of water you drink to win the battle with your cellulite. However, it works best when it is done as a preventative measure. Water hydrates your skin. Water works to help the body shed cellulite-causing toxins. Try to drink at a minimum of 6 glasses every day.
Moisturize your skin regularly. Keeping the skin moisturized is good to do for a number of reasons. Fighting cellulite is helped by keeping your skin moisturized. Massage any problem areas gently while you apply it. Massage it into the skin to break up deposits of fat, which will cut down on cellulite, too.
Eating well can make a significant difference when it comes to cellulite. Eat plenty of fruits of vegetables. These contain alkaline ash which help you rid your body of cellulite. Juicing can give you the right amounts of vegetables and fruits.
One way many people try to eliminate cellulite is with plastic surgery; however, this should be the last resort. This procedure is dangerous, and there are many other treatments available to treat cellulite. Get surgery only if you've attempted everything else without improvement.
If your diet is good, you can get rid of cellulite and also stop it from happening. Foods with an abundance of lecithin help to break up fat deposits and cellulite. Some of these foods include peanuts, lettuce, eggs, apples, and spinach. Don't eat junk food with lots of fat.
It's hard to believe, but you can reduce cellulite by reducing stress. As your body experiences stress, it releases harmful hormones. This hormone can thin out your skin and increase your body's fat storage. Meditation and yoga are great stress relievers.
No one wants to have cellulite because it looks unattractive. Cellulite is frequently a cause of shame and embarrassment if nothing is done. With some luck, these tips may help you reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Headphone News - Feb 1, 2010
Koss Financial Woes In preparing for her defense in the alleged $31 million fraud against Koss, Sue Sachdeva's attorneys have made multiple moves to protect their clients medical records, and may try to use mental illness as a defense. One would think that, if true, stealing tens of millions of dollars for clothes is crazy at face value --- hopefully that's not a good enough excuse.
Audio Technica AT-HA35i Expected to be introduced in Japan next month, the Audio Technica AT-HA35i will dock your iPod and take the digital information from the device for higher quality listening. Figure on a roughly $500 price tag. [caption id="attachment_1387" align="alignleft" width="482" caption="Rear panel shows a digital output. Wooohooo!"] [/caption] More here, and here.
No headphone partying allowed! In 2008, a group of demonstrators who were "listening to music on headphones and dancing to honor "the individualist spirit for which Jefferson is known," were told to stop by park officials. When Mary B. Oberwetter, one of the demonstrators, refused and asked why she was arrested. Charges were later dropped. Then, in 2009, Mary sued claiming her free speech rights were curtailed. Last week U.S. District Judge John D. Bates ruled the memorial is not a public forum for demonstration: ""The purpose of the memorial is to publicize Thomas Jefferson's legacy, so that critics and supporters alike may contemplate his place in history," Bates wrote. "The Park Service prohibits all demonstrations in the interior of the memorial, in order to maintain 'an atmosphere of calm, tranquillity, and reverence.' More here, but long story short: Headphone partying in dead guy's memorials is not allowed. Wasn't on my agenda. That's the headphone news for the day. Keep Listening!


Stopped by today for some 6mm Creedmoor, a mixed bag of ammo from 87 to 108 grain, so I wouldn't have to pay shipping. A bit of a drive from SE Aurora, but fine.
Ended up buying the Creedmoor and some 300 Whisper/Blackout they had on sale.
Nice guys, nice prices, thank you!


That and 6 more things we learned from Irving's recent New York Times interview.
This will be a different sort of offseason for him.
Irving said he'll focus more on his body and getting himself mentally prepared. He added that his objective is to take it one day at a time and get back to being himself.
He noted how proud he is of his teammates for sticking together in a difficult situation.
"Obviously Game 7 didn't necessarily go the way we all planned, but I mean those guys, they gave it all throughout the whole playoff run," Irving said.
He won't budge on his future with the Celtics.
Deb didn't include this nugget in the story, but he asked Irving about whether the point guard sees Boston as a long-term destination.
Irving, who has the option to opt out of his deal and become a free agent at the end of next season, said he's focused on winning a championship this coming year.
Irving was the basketball player who wanted to become a chef in St. Patrick High's production. This time he wasn't only cooking defenders on the court. He was discussing crème brûlée in front of a different sort of captivated audience.
He said it was an opportunity to get rid of his public speaking nerves and feel comfortable talking in front of a large audience.
"I knew that if I could sing and act onstage, then I should be able to publicly convey what I was thinking and what was on my mind," Irving said in the interview.
Much like basketball, Irving believes acting is all about repetition. He worked with his coach to perfect shots, saying he never got frustrated in the process.
"Uncle Drew," which hits theaters June 29, features Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, and Reggie Miller, and Irving is the star of the show. He had to juggle acting, basketball, and trade rumors all at the same time, so it was certainly a hectic stretch.
He hopes to one day own a television network.
Irving said he enjoys production, ownership, and working toward something he can really be proud of. He said he's a big fan of creative expression, whether it's acting, music, or seeing art.
It's not just a pipe dream, either. Irving said he's more or less starting his own production company – collaborating with great influencers and people that inspire him. It's still in its infant stages, but his focus is on becoming a content creator with the hopes of owning his own television network down the road.
He said he's not bored easily, but noted he has a wide range of interests outside of basketball.
Irving considers himself a generational leader and likes analyzing the behavior of other humans from a sociological and psychological standpoint. He relishes the role of contrarian and embraces differing philosophies.
"To do that, it takes a long, long time of learning about other human beings, history, and incorporating all that into things that I love," Irving said.
Does he really believe the Earth is flat? Or does he not know?
Irving said he was never trying to convince anyone that the world is flat. He admits he doesn't really know himself, but he believes it's enjoyable to think about.
"It is absolutely fun, because people get so agitated and mad," Irving said.
He can't say with certainty that pictures taken by astronauts are real. Irving just hasn't convinced himself one way or the other. His main focus is on using his name and brand to spearhead discussion and debate.
He hopes to inspire kids to do their own research.
Irving believes young students should have the freedom to study and learn themselves.
"Not everyone thinks the same. Not everyone feels the same," he said.
He wants to help people veer away from choosing the popular opinion simply because it's the easy way out. The flat Earth debate is a means of facilitating that mindset.
Irving has certainly sparked discussion.

Putting in beautiful fireplaces in houses stay to be well-liked amongst householders who are into transforming or building of new ones. The brick surround was painted Benjamin Moore's Douglas Fir to enhance the room's Spring Moss walls, and beautiful work by artist Erin E Sorensen depict the householders' view of the close by San Francisco Bay. One other inexpensive remodeling idea is to add ornate architectural elements on both sides of the fireplace. A limestone fireside and rustic picket mantel complete the transformation.
Whenever you visit our hearth & heating stoves showroom, search for Herbie the chimney sweep. Whereas the concept of remodeling your hearth on your own sounds rewarding, it can be quite a lot of hard work. A whole fireplace rework in Orange County could do the trick to make your own home the showplace that you have all the time wanted it to be. You might also have a traditional wood burning fireplace that you simply no loner wish to should take care of, reminiscent of having the firewood delivered, and with the tiresome clean up that it entails.
Fireplaces and hearths are normally constructed with brick," says Charlie Frattini, contractor, building professional, and host of FYI's Hero Home, which premiered Veterans Day 2016. Gas logs utilize natural gasoline or propane fuel, both of which burn a lot cleaner than firewood, making them an easy-to-use, eco-pleasant heat source good for homes here within the south.
You will want to purchase a tarp to cover close by flooring, appropriate paints to cover the bricks or wooden and a number of brushes. Nestled between massive, lengthy windows and lacking a mantel, this brick fire struggled to stand out. Get began through the use of our handy lead generator to seek out fireplace transforming professionals in your area. Replaced and covered the brick on our 1980's brick hearth and installed customized constructed cabinets and granite tile around the electrical fire insert.
The work involved gluing the mantel to the wall and having the contractor build the crown molding around it to make it look as if it have been seamless and all part of the original design. Lindemann Chimney Firm can design, plan and implement a fire remodel that can exceed your biggest expectations. Designer Maria Killam, CMG, used bright orange paint round and over the fireside here, for a bold look you can easily replicate with any favorite hue.


The book, Chariot of the Gods by Van Daniken, was considered radical when first published, but its success is due to the simplicity of the explanation it offered. Offering a web that encompassed cave man drawings, landing strips high in the Andes, and the current experiences of man out in space, was a hit. Few could find fault with the logic, which was in fact based on truth, and this has held through criticism. By giving a rational argument to the concept of visitors, Van Daniken is to be applauded.

There is a widespread perception that Americans aren't saving enough for retirement. Some policymakers propose to increase the government's role in retirement saving and income provision through measures such as expanding Social Security benefits and establishing state and local supplementary retirement saving plans.
American Enterprise Institute Resident Scholar Andrew G. Biggs reviews studies of household retirement saving and also of government-run retirement plans' funding shortfalls. He concludes that private households do a substantially better job of saving for retirement than the government has done of funding public retirement programs.
Private Retirement Saving
A number of studies have attempted to estimate the size of the private retirement savings shortfall in the United States. The most pessimistic of these, from the National Institute for Retirement Security, estimates that 84 percent of US households fall short of reasonable retirement savings and that this results in a national retirement savings shortfall of $14 trillion. On the other hand, the most optimistic studies estimate that more than 70 percent of Americans are saving adequately and that the shortfall is closer to $615 billion.
Public Retirement Program Funding
In spite of public attention and sporadic reform efforts since the late 1980s, Social Security remains underfunded.
As of 2016, Social Security Administration actuaries, using economic and demographic assumptions from Social Security's trustees, projected a 75-year funding shortfall of $11.4 trillion in present value.
The Congressional Budget Office, using somewhat different assumptions, projected a 75-year funding shortfall estimated by the author at about $18.9 trillion.
Public employee pensions include both defined benefit pensions and 401(k)-style defined contribution plans. Defined contribution plans cannot have obligations in excess of their assets, but many defined benefit plans are dramatically underfunded.
Defined benefit pensions for civilian federal employees face a funding shortfall of approximately $800 billion.
Another federal program, the Military Retirement System, faces a funding shortfall of about $868 billion.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board estimates that state and local defined benefit pensions have unfunded liabilities of about $1.2 trillion. But measuring these pensions' liabilities using the same discount rates that private sector pensions must use suggests that the plans are actually underfunded by $3.4 trillion, and some estimates suggest they are underfunded by as much as $5.5 trillion.
Comparing estimates of private retirement undersaving to estimates of the underfunding of government retirement plans can help provide a picture of how well each sector fulfills its responsibilities for retirement saving. Both households and the government have a role to play in contributing to retirement security, but the data show that—even according to the worst-case estimates of the private retirement savings shortfall—households are better at funding retirement benefits than the government is. Rather than expanding already unfunded benefits, governments should focus on funding their existing obligations and facilitating household retirement saving by encouraging employers to offer optional but automatic-enrollment defined contribution saving plans.

York City and the Bible Tabernacle Christian Center will dedicate a segment of South Pine Street in honor of Bishop Carl Scott at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9.
York City and the Bible Tabernacle Christian Center will dedicate a segment of South Pine Street in honor of Bishop Carl Scott at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at the center's 361 S. Pine St. location.
Scott, a York native, founded the Bible Tabernacle Christian Center with his wife in May 1977 and has since served the community as a pastor and community leader.
The street will be named Bishop Carl Scott Street, according to a city news release.
Scott, who was ordained as a bishop in May 2016, has received several awards for service to his church and community, including The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Crime Prevention, according the center's website.
"Bishop Carl Scott has been an influential voice and leader in the York community for decades," said York City Mayor Michael Helfrich. "It is our honor to name this portion of Pine Street after him."
The portion of the street being renamed is at the site of the center, which announced the dedication during the "40-60-80 event" in May.
The event honored the bishop's 40 years of preaching, 60 years of marriage and 80 years of life.

VIDEO: Netflix Releases Trailer for GREEN EGGS AND HAM
by Stage Tube Nov. 01, 2019
Netflix has released the trailer for its new animated series Green Eggs and Ham, featuring the voices of Adam Devine, Michael Douglas, Ilana Glazer, Diane Keaton, Keegan-Michael Key, Eddie Izzard, Jeffrey Wright, Jillian Bell, John Turturro, Tracy Morgan and Daveed Diggs.
Watch the trailer below!
The story of Green Eggs and Ham is like a postmodern Planes, Trains and Automobiles through the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss. Sam rescues the rare Chickeraffe from the Glurfsburg Zoo, hides it in a briefcase, and attempts to make his way to Meepville where he can charter a cold air balloon to take the Chickeraffe to his island home.
Guy just flopped his last big chance at being a world famous inventor for the industrial Snerz Co. He packs up his invention in a briefcase and resigns to give up on his dreams and become a paint watcher.
A chance meeting at a diner with Sam, and a switch up with the briefcases results in these two unlikely souls getting mixed up on an adventure that takes them on a journey of self discovery.
Our two mismatched heroes cross paths with overprotective Michellee, whose daughter, EB, desperately wants a pet, and falls madly in love with the Chickeraffe... despite her mother's fears that it will eat off her face (it won't). Michellee's walled up heart also connects with the heart-hardened Guy. And a laborious love story begins.
Our fakakta foursome are also unknowingly pursued by a bounty hunter goat, two bad guys, and a villain who's out to get the Chickeraffee as his ultimate trophy.

Q: How to add extra table view cells to handle user input? Recently I have been trying to create a table view with different table view cells. What I want to do is that when users click on each table view cell, it shows an extra cell underneath the selected cell to handle user inputs and the extra section disappears when the cell is unselected.
I am fairly new to iOS development and I am wondering what would be the best way to achieve this. At the moment I am thinking of hiding the extra cells initially and displaying each of them when the cell above is selected.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: Apple has a great set of sample code that demonstrates the behavior you're looking for — displaying a cell beneath another cell when selected. This behavior is used in Calendar when displaying a date picker, and it's pretty much what you've described.
Question: Will each cell have an identical set of options?
If so, I'd consider including the user inputs as part of the source cell and adjusting the height of the source on selection. You can animate the cell's height changing using tableView's beginUpdates and endUpdates. This way, you avoid messing around with cell indices.

A few years ago when businesses realised that a good eBook could be sold online there was a lot of excitement.
Tales of 5 figure launches, bazoodles of copies sold and overnight internet fame created quite a buzz.
Just gather up a few blog posts, bundle them together and sell it as a $47 eBook. Shift 100 of them and you've made over $4,500 for a few hours work!
Obviously you know it's not as simple as that, but if you were online at this time you saw a lot of eBooks being released and launched. Some businesses had a new eBook every few weeks. And there's nothing wrong with releasing frequent products if the quality is good and it solves a problem for your customer.
But the problem was that this made a lot of businesses feel they had to be churning out eBooks left right and centre. A lot of crap eBooks were produced at a rapid rate at the expense of the business owner's credibility and perhaps even sanity.
I want you to think about your favourite band or artist.
How many albums have they recorded?
Now, there are some artists who are incredibly prolific. Elvis, Paul McCartney, Prince… Total rockstars, dream lifestyles and insanely rich.
But there are a great number of successful bands who have created much fewer albums and they still have pretty enviable lifestyles. Let's be honest, between Paul's love life, Prince's peculiarity and Elvis's… well you know, would you really want to be any of them?
Guitar? Check. Great Voice? Check. Gritty Songs? Check. Flippin' Rockstar? Chickety-check!
Last night I went to see the unbelievably cool rockstar that is Lucinda Williams at Brighton Dome. She filled the venue, and she filled the hall with her gravelly voice and gritty dirt-road country blues.
Lucinda's breakthrough album came in 1998.
Her first album was in 1979.
5 albums in 19 years. Not a huge amount you might think.
But in that time she toured, she promoted, she sang, she built up local audiences around Los Angeles and when her 98 album was released things got bigger from there. Her songs have been covered by Willie Nelson, Tom Petty and Mary Chapin Carpenter and now she's touring, playing music to fans around the world doing what she loves. As a songwriter, she has a huge amount of credibility as an expert.
The real rockstars we see (and love) on stage today aren't scrabbling together old songs to repackage them as new albums. Instead they're taking their time, putting their passion and talents into the product, and then taking them on tour to build their fan base.
So why not do that with your eBook?
eBooks are a fantastic way to build your business. When you do it right.
What's more, if you take the effort to do it right first time round, you can develop a solid, high-quality product that you can promote for years rather than something you might be embarrassed by in a few months.
I'm not saying you only have to do an eBook every 4 years, but taking the slow and steady approach to this piece of your content marketing can pay dividends.
If you've been thinking about creating a whole heap of eBooks to promote your business, why not think about creating just one instead? For now that is.
Look at your customer profile, then think about the problem your customers have, or the questions they ask and try to create a 'signature' book. One that will be useful to previous, present and future customers.
Spend time creating it, make it easy-to-read and use beautiful design to show how professional you are.
From there you can host a launch to a big fanfare and build your following by selling it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Apple's iBookstore. You could also use it as a promotional teaching resource. For example holding a guest webinar for someone's website, and making an offer of your eBook at the end.
The point is that if you take time to craft something you're really proud of, you won't get tired of promoting it, you'll be excited and proud to spread the word.
And you can watch your business grow as your creative 'baby' goes out into the world.
One of my friends has created a very successful business by focusing on quality products that last.
Rather than spit out a flurry of 'okay' content, Pamela Wilson from the Big Brand System spends time developing products, updating them and relaunching periodically.
Recently she re-released her eBook Evolution product that she created with Kelly Kingman.
What is it? Well it is a bumper pack of digital guides that teach you how to plan, write and launch an eBook. AND it gives you specific design tools and templates to make sure your eBook doesn't look like a Microsoft Word document that had clipart thrown up on it.
Oh… and you don't need to know any design or tech skills. If you can read and follow instructions you can do this.
Because of the high-quality, and urgent need most business owners have for professional-looking, affordable marketing materials this is a popular product with a lot of loyal fans.
And even though I know Pamela and Kelly personally, and might have been able to annoy them into getting a review copy, I bought my own eBook Evolution, so I'm only recommending what I am currently using.
I'm not going to overstate the benefits here because to be honest the product is killer, the ladies have integrity and the sales page does a great job of explaining whether or not it's for you.
Are you thinking about using eBooks as marketing tools / revenue sources in your business?
Do you want to create an eBook that you'd be proud to promote?
Do you have no / some / lots of knowledge about writing eBooks?
Would you like some help and ideas on marketing and launching your eBook?
What do you think? Create a handful of products and take them on tour or be prolific and crazy like McCartney and Prince? Let me know in the comments!

One of the greatest problems with moving into a new office is coming up with a clever name for your new work area. The second greatest problem is letting everyone outside of your team know what your clever name is.
Two months after moving into our new lab, Mt. Aetna, no one outside our team knows our awesome room name. It was affectionately known to outsiders as "that room on the end past the 3D printers but before the robots."
In order to let everyone know that we're really good at naming things, a team member and I decided to make a sign to go above the badge scanner to our room.
We drew inspiration from the summit plaques we've seen on top of Colorado peaks and converted that style into a stacked 2D sign with all of the pertinent information for our peak. Located on the second floor of a building directly over the San Francisco Bay, we are sitting at a lofty 22 ft.
Starting in Inventor, I created a 3D model of the multiple stacked layers. The outline of the mountain was sketched from an image of Mt. Aetna in Italy and the border was derived from an image of a summit plaque found on Google.
Once the parts were designed, each was exported into AutoCAD using the Project Cut Edges command and Export Sketch As. . . option.
Cut on the Epilog laser cutters at Pier 9. I was able to cut and raster all the pieces in under an hour.
The part that took the longest to laser cut was the textured mountain. The pattern was created with an image of Mt. Aetna's terrain that was modified in Gimp and converted into vector lines.
It's also important to mention that the piece on the far right, the background piece, was supposed to be a solid circle, but I messed up the raster on my first cut of the mountain and found that I could flip and rotate the part to be a background.
Using a rag, cherry stain, and a well-ventilated room. I decided to stain the pieces to add a little class to them. It also makes them look less laser-cut and more professionally constructed.
After staining the pieces, I realized the white acrylic was blinding in comparison.
To fix this, I scratched up the surface with fine sandpaper and applied the same cherry stain to the acrylic. If you decide to replicate this step, remember to be careful with the stain and spread it thin and even. It's also good to know that it takes quite a while to dry, so be careful touching it.
Once all the pieces are stained, a healthy dose of wood glue holds the majority of pieces together.
Hint: the pieces that go together well with wood glue are made of wood.
To attach the acrylic to the wood, a nice perimeter of super glue was applied.
Once assembled and dry, I used 5 small command strips to fasten the sign to the wall. No fancy tricks here, just put the sticky side on the plaque and the other sticky side on the wall.
It is now perfectly placed as a public service announcement to the rest of the office and a landmark to help weary travelers find their way home.
To improve on this already spiffy design, I've come up with a few ideas.
More layers. Let's go crazy and have depth and multiple mountain peaks.
All wood. I used acrylic for variety, but I think an all wood plaque would look awesome too.
National Park Signs. I love signs at parks and forests. I may try this layered approach on them.
This come out a really beautiful sign! It remind me at some old alpine one.

HELP THE WHITTEMORE PETERSON INSTITUTE WIN $1 MILLION DOLLARS!
http://www.takepart.com/membersproject/vote
******Right next to where it says "Can't find an organization in our list?"---> There is a link that says Suggest a charity*******
Simply write "The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease" and Select "Nevada" for the state, enter your email address, and add a few lines (or as much info as your want) about why you you are nominating them.Or visit the WPI website for more info- it's right on their main page. I also copied this from the site:
October 11, 2010: The Whittemore Peterson Institute would like your help in nominating us for the American Express Members Project.
[read details...]
Please take the time to write in by clicking on the "Electronic Nomination Form" link below. While we are encouraging our patients to speak from the heart in the comment section of the electronic nomination form, we know some will want a specific suggestion as to what to say. Please feel free to cut and paste the copy below to help nominate us. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us at info@wpinstitute.org.
The Whittemore Peterson Institute is a non-profit institution whose mission is to serve the millions around the world who suffer from chronic inflammatory neuroimmune diseases such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, gulf war syndrome, autism and other similarly presenting illnesses. WPI's current activities include the development of a comprehensive medical research program, educating the public and medical professionals on the most recent advances, while continuing to seek federal medical research funding on behalf of all those who suffer from these debilitating diseases.
As a patient centered organization, WPI supports the search for effective treatments and the prevention of neuroimmune diseases. To accomplish the goal of rapid translation from its basic and clinical research to the medical profession, WPI has created collaborative networks among academic, scientific and medical institutions while continuing to engage with other major health related companies. In August, the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease (WPI), 501(c)3 corporation, celebrated the opening of a new $77 million dollar clinical research facility at the University of Nevada medical school in Reno, Nevada of which they are an integral part. They are the first institute in the world to integrate research, education and soon, medical treatment of neuro-immune diseases, such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Even before the official grand opening, they made a break-through discovery that has provided hope to millions of people worldwide who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (CFS), an often seriously-debilitating disorder that profoundly impairs a person's ability to hold a job, care for their families and even continue taking care of their most basic needs. Many become home bound and isolated from their friends and family due to the loss of physical stamina and other debilitating symptoms. WPI's discovery of the strong association between the third human retrovirus (XMRV) and those with CFS and other similar neuro-immune diseases, has significant implications for potential treatment of millions in the U.S. and around the world as well and preventing disease of millions more. Although this institute is located in Nevada, the WPI and its collaborators have already made a significant impact in this field through their active participation at the first International XMRV workshop and commitment to the blood safety working groups of Canada and the United States.

Okay done, good idea to forward the link it on. TheMoonisblue can I repost your original post onto another site?
maryb said:
Sure- I copied the info from WPI's website.I just updated the original post as I'm not sure if one needs to go to a different link to register to vote or if nominating a charity is different than voting for a charity that is already listed. Maybe next week we can try asking WPI.
I hope this post gets more attention- every PR member or visitor please try to vote!
Just replying for more people to see...........
Replying again for more people to see......especially important now, looks like they are not getting any money from the government right now. 1 million dollars could do a lot. Please vote. Contact WPI if you have any questions.
Is there any way this thread can be made into a sticky so more people see it?
Is everyone still Nominating?? It takes about 20 seconds and it is ONE MILLION DOLLARS at Stake.....! 1/4 of what the CDC has been giving every year for this disease! We need Money Money Money.....
Please use the link I provided in my original post......there may be some defect in one of the other links.....(people have noticed the page going blank/resetting after submitting using a different link)
WPI is the only place that is conducting comprehensive, cutting edge research into ME/CFS........Any chance the ME/CFS community gets to help them obtain funds for much needed research will help everyone afflicted with this disease. Please Help No one knows how long it will take for funds/grants from the Government to come in, so projects like this where a million dollars is at stake could REALLY help
3CFIDS@ourhouse
still me
I just nominated WPI. I get overwhelmed with things like this, but thanks to your link, TMIB, it was not hard. I just copied some excerpts that you had on your post, added a sentence of my own, and clicked the button. It's easy, everyone, go for it!
If anyone has a Facebook page, that would be a great place to post this information-get as many nominations as possible, Spread the word (and the link!)
beesknees
As I understood it, we can vote once a week.
You can vote for the current charities once a week. WPI and Pandora are still up for nomination. If they are selected the voting will start once a week in January, but first they have to be nominated by a lot of people and selected by Amex.
Yes, we are just nominating them right now so they can hopefully make the list of charities to vote on. So we need a lot of nominations!
Hey everyone! Please keep Nominating WPI! I just did again and if you use the link I posted you will receive a pop up acknowledgement now WITH "Thank you for nominating the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro Immune Disease" (assuming that is exactly what you typed in) Before it just went blank, I don't know why. So......... Keep nominating!
If they get enough nominations and are selected for the next round of voting they could be in the running for One Million Dollars. They could do a lot more testing with a million dollars.

Former RHONY star Jules Wainstein's estranged ex-husband could face jail time over unpaid child support and other expenses totaling $135,000.
After being given two chances to pay the amount, Michael has to appear in court next month to have a hearing.
