5 5We were very happy with our queen bedroom set purchase. We were a little nervous because the price was so great and some people had delivery issues. However, we experienced none of that. We received emails and texts on the status of our furniture. It came right in the window they said. The delivery guys were great and our whole set came put together! I would say it was a great value and a great experience.
5 5Great product and great price
5 5My husband and I are very satisfied with our bedroom set. It looks like the online picture.
5 5I have ordered a lot of furniture to fill a vacation home. This is the only transaction I have made that has gone so smoothly!! From ordering, to delivery - the experience has been very good - especially during these COVID times.
5 5Perfect for my bedroom.
5 5Outstanding delivery services - very courteous.
2 5It came damaged and I am still waiting for them to resolve this
1 5I ordered the Sandy Beach bedroom set on Nov. 11th. Online it shows that the item is in stock, but the representative Sean told me it would take 4-6 weeks to arrive. I agreed to wait. On Nov. 25th, I get an email from Isabel saying there are further delays. When I asked the estimated time I could expect my furniture, Shayne replied saying it would be after February 15th! There is no reason it took two weeks to know that shipping would be this delayed.
5 5The product was great. We love it. The delivery however, I'm still trying to resolve. The delivery person assembled the table using a drill and over tightened the screws causing them to be stripped and the table top to be easily lifted from the table when moving. The issue is taking an excessively long time to resolve with a huge amount of emails going back and forth. Pictures were sent, it's clear what happened. Just replace the table.
5 5I ordered the Coaster Sandy Beach Panel Bedroom Set in White for my daughter's bedroom. It was worth the wait! The description did not do this set justice. Extremely impressed by the HIGH QUALITY of this furniture...it is heavy and well made and looks like a $4000 set. The color is a creamy white. The headboard is tall and majestic. The dresser is incredible with the glass panel insets. The entire set looks amazing! Don't think that this set is cheap because it is not. Best purchase!!!
3 5Everything is great except the depth of the couch is very small. I bought an ottoman to go with it so that we can stretch our legs. Delivery was just way too long for 2 months we had to wait. Other than that customer service was great
5 5Delivered in excellent condition, very happy with service
1 5This bedroom set is expensive, but cheap materials, get scratches easily, anything can break the design, I'll never recommend this bedroom set to anyone.
1 5The Liberty Magnolia shows in stock and 4 week lead times. After order is submitted, they send an email stating they batch orders in order to give the customer a bigger discount. Obviously, the company has no product 'In Stock" as advertised. The real time to get the BR set is 10+ weeks.
1 5Purchased this from Nebraska Furniture Mart 6/15/18, I called right away as my king mattress looked to small for the bed. there are several inches on the side as well as the end of the bed. you can see the drawer area as the mattress does not cover the area. I called and was told when I order a new mattress it will fit the frame. Well a few months ago I indeed ordered a new mattress, it is even worse. I truly believe the bed is not made correctly as my mattress fit my old bed fine.
5 5Great!
4 5Comfy.
2 5it's not worth it to buy this bed. it makes so much noise, the bed can only hold so much weight before it gets a gigantic hole in the middle, very weak bars and they break off easily, the bed is hard and springy i have so much back pain and i'm only 17. i honestly wouldn't recommend this purchase cause i haven't even had it for 1 year and i already hate this bed so plz don't waste your time and save your money
5 5Sturdy. Rustic. Love it.
4 5love the bedset, one of the shelfs for the footboard did arrive broken, so little disappointed with this. Everything else looks great though and my daughter loves it.
5 5Love my new nightstands! Just as pictured and the Level of service follow up was stellar!
1 5have not receive my order
1 5have not receive my order

1 5How do i review an order when i haven't received it yet ?
5 5Just in case, though this furniture is solid!!
5 5This piece is just stunning!! - solid and so well made too! Highly recommend!
5 5Bought 2 of these to go with the matching dresser - they are beautiful, solid and well made!! I highly recommend!
5 5Beautiful piece of furniture.
5 5Beautiful piece of furniture.
5 5So happy I made this purchase. Beautiful!
5 5Well it took several weeks but it finally arrived and it is really nice. It is made really well and looks really nice. Seller also kept me updated on every question I had.
3 5I have had this for one night, one of the chair bars at the bottom was broken when it got here but the table looks to be in good shape. The installers were very nice and set it up in about 10 mins.
2 5Received this product damaged. They have yet to resolve the issue or how they intend to fix it. Still waiting to hear back from them. They are difficult to reach.
5 5Beautiful piece
5 5Absolutely beautiful piece
1 5The order has taken 8 weeks to be delivered when we were told 3-4 weeks. My pregnant wife and I have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor. The delivery company had the bed in their warehouse for 3-4 weeks but did not want to deliver the bed because it was too far away for them. They wanted to make sure they could organize other customers so they could complete all the deliveries on the one day. This was negligence at its best.When the bed arrived it didn't have any bed slats. We have been trying to get this resolved with no luck. Installation instructions were missing from the box. This whole process has been embarrassing and unprofessional.
3 53 of my chairs were wobbly
4 5I originally ordered the dining table and 4 chairs but only the table and 2 chairs were delivered. Within 2 weeks wet got the other 2 chairs and all are great. Afterward, I tried to buy 2 additional chairs but the delivery charge was close to the price of the chairs which I cannot afford. Would have been nice to get a shipping discount due to the delivery mix up we experienced.
5 5Great quality, as always with Legacy Classics furniture.
5 5Beautiful unique furniture of very good quality, lots of detailed workmanship.I'd been looking for 5 years to find something extra special and this is it. Prettier in person than in pictures.
5 5Hurray for bedroom furniture.com....I was looking for this chest of drawers to complete my bedroom set, but alas it had become discontinued. I was able to find this piece from bedroomfurniture.com. Thank you so very much
5 5the salesman discounted slightly on top of the already cheapest price for a popular and sold on several sights dresser. He delivered on time and in good condition. It was preopened and set up and delivered in blankets ready to install.
2 5The 5-drawer chest I received was defective and drawers didn't open. The few hundred extra we spent for platinum white glove delivery and the crew didn't even check this before leaving and I had to call them back to pick it up and get a replacement. That took almost another 2 weeks, after I had already waited over a month to receive the bedroom set, and I didn't even receive any communication for a week as to what was going on or when they were going to send the replacement chest. Meanwhile, the rest of my furniture set has spent 3 weeks unused due to the smell of whatever chemicals were used in the varnish or glues for these items. My bedroom has been shut for weeks because I've had to have the windows open with the very cold air in order to air it out. I would've returned it all if not for the steep cost on the return policy. I am due to have my baby in a week and can't even have her in my bedroom with me because I'm afraid of her breathing in the fumes. Prop 65 warnings are on all the pieces, which was not listed on the website anywhere, so now I'm stuck breathing in who-knows-what for however many years. What I was so excited to receive has only been a hassle and I don't even want to be in my bedroom. We had to spend hundreds more to buy a quality air purifier just so I can feel safer sleeping in my bedroom.The furniture itself is beautiful, but I wish I had gotten something certified not to be toxic.
5 5These are very sturdy and beautiful. Bigger than I was expecting but great quality. Very happy with purchase.
1 5Refused because of delivery issue.
1 5I ordered a dresser from here and it took forever to deliver and when it delivered the colors was off and I tried the chat in this page for me aria and waqar transferred me back and forth like I was a kid they did not answer my questions Totally disrespectful disgusting smh
4 5Bed post had repaired crack, should have been replaced and not repaired!
1 5I ordered this nightstand on August 21, 2020. I was told the item was in stock. I called and spoke to a representative who took my order over the phone. I'm still waiting for my order and have been updated that it wont be in until the end of November. This item is not in stock and is on backorder from the vendor.
5 5I was hesitant to buy my furniture online but I was able to place my order with a representative. It made me feel reassured. I love my furniture. Very high quality. The delivery and set up was quick. They did miss some details on delivery such as foam inside the drawers and covers on the handles but overall pretty well
5 5Just received Saturday- so far looks very nice, very disappointed with the delivery delays associated to this shipment, inability to track (system was down) and erroneous delivery window though.
5 5Could not be happier with my purchase
4 5Really like just would like to no how to care for
1 5If you're single, this will be a great bed. If you have any kind of love life kiss it goodbye. This frame squeaks like a sack of large, loud mice. It's ruining my marriage and the people that sold it to us never returned our calls to discuss
1 5This bed is very beautiful and fits in with our waterfront décor very well.
1 5I love this furniture set I only wish that it was truly 3 drawers as it appears to be from the pictures the top 2 handles actually represent one very deep drawer .
1 5I love the colors of this furniture we live by the water and it is very "beachy" . I wish the drawers were not so deep. This drawer looks like it's 2 drawers but it's actually just one.
5 5It is as good as I thought it is. I was informed every step of the way! Very courteous management! I highly recommend them, based on my first purchase.
5 5Is amazingly beautiful and you guys had it for the right price! The service was outstanding!
5 5na
5 5This dresser is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, worth every penny. It is much larger than it appears in the pictures and it is super heavy, very high quality. Very unique piece, you will not have to worry about seeing this in anyone else's home, it is spectacular. Very spacious and practical while still very stylish.
5 5Let me start by saying that I am EXTREMELY picky... It took me months to find bedroom furniture. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! This dresser is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, worth every penny. It is very elegant and is super heavy, very high quality. Very unique piece, you will not have to worry about seeing this in anyone else's home, it is spectacular. Very spacious and practical while still very stylish.
4 5Very nice set. The cold is actually off white, almost cream. There are some gaps in the corner joints but not terrible. Over all just as described and sturdy. Drawers work well and no chips.
5 5This set is so beautiful, it belongs in a fairy tale.
5 5Purchased dresser, mirror, chest, and side tables. Had to purchase the king headboard from another vendor as it was not offered here. Snug drawer closure. Felt lined drawers are very nice. Delivery was excellent and there were no scratches or problems noted. Very pleased with this purchase.
5 5Beautiful bed, great quality. Very good service from entire team.
5 5Quantity Quality Quality AICO says its all.
5 5Beautiful pieces that look amazing!! So happy with our purchase!
1 52 of the chairs had defects and I paid $125. for white glove delivery.
1 5The table has such a odor it has made me physically sick. Even with windows opened it still has a smell. I would like to get it returned without any charges.
5 5Couch is amazing. Firm cushions clean stitching and just quality. It is very large! Much larger than we anticipated but it is just great.
4 5We love the sideboard but there is a short in the electrical wire. The company assumed it was fixed. It was not. They never followed up to ensure their contractor called us. We now have to find someone to fix the electrical problems. There needs to be a quality control review prior to delivery.
5 5Love the chair! Goes perfect with my other furniture and decor! Thank you bedroom furniture discounts! I can't wait to get my Bedroom Furniture!!
4 5Nice piece of furniture. I love how the drawers are fully accessible.
5 5everything went as promised. I received regular updates and it shipped as promised. delivery guys did a fantastic job setting it up. No mess, no fuss. Excellent from time of purchase to final delivery and set up. We couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommend you guys. Thank you. Rick
5 5This is quite a beautiful piece of furniture - much better in real life than the pictures. It's stunning in my dining room
1 5I am still waiting to receive the items after being told that it would be delivered in August.
5 5This table is exactly what we were looking for! Stunning piece of furniture.
4 5This was a great value for our money!I do wish that the delivery men had been a little more careful in their part of the job. Luckily, I was able to use a magic eraser to get out a little of the scratches and marks.
5 5Well constructed, beautiful solid oak with roomy cedar drawers. So much storage in normally wasted space under the bed. Love it!
5 5Love the Mirror!
5 5Love the matching Nightstands!
5 5This furniture looks even nicer in person! Love it!
5 5This looked even better than we expected. Price was AWESOME! Bought 7 pcs. The shipping was delayed due to COVID shortages, but as soon as the items were available they immediately shipped. The delivery company was INCREDIBLE. They delivered our items in the middle of a storm, ensured everything was dry. Also delivered to our 2nd floor bedroom. There was almost no assembly needed other than moving handles and putting the slats on the bed. We absolutely love it and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family.
5 5We searched and searched for my client's nightstands. We needed something that had a nice height, good surface space, storage and CHARACTER and a good price! Big 'needs list' !
4 5Solid wood and cast iron table has a very industrial yet classy feel. Opted for the bench seating on one side, and worth the extra buy. Table opens wide to store the extra leaf insert, which is a huge help and keeps the pieces together. Relatively easy to put together, though I personally opted for the delivery and assemble onsite. They were in and out in about 30 mins, cleaned up the boxes and shipping material.
5 5Beautiful furniture and great customer service.
4 5Dining set is solid, good construction. Not pure white wash. More of an off white greyish color. Delivery took 3 months, but that's due to covid. The delivery company A&O is hurendous. Can't reach them on the phone and delivery was way past window of 6-9pm and they left it on my front lawn in the middle of the night. Woke to see it in the lawn.
4 5This desk is beautiful and I am so happy with it. I went from a standard-sized desk to this executive size. I have so much more storage space and enough desk space for two monitors, an open laptop, a lamp and much more. It's great quality, very solid, and very easy to move around on a hardwood floor if you need to get to outlets or other things.
5 5So spacious and sophisticated. This really complimented the executive desk well and finishes out the office while offering plenty of file storage space for my needs.
5 5A must-have if you are buying the file cabinet. There IS a cut-out at the bottom back of it so you can set things like a printer or other electronic device with a cord in the first cubby.
2 5Table cam damaged. One chair had a broken leg. Two chairs were missing bolts. Two chairs wobbled badly.
5 5I saw this dinette set in person at Lazy Boy and found it online here at a much lower cost (30-35% cheaper). It's a beautiful set. The wood has natural ridges in it. You can mix n match the chairs. I chose 2 wooden, 2 material, and a bench. The matching buffet didn't meet my needs but the Kincaid Elise Server/Buffet matches beautifully. I love my new dinette set.
5 5This would have been a great buy but it was no longer available after I ordered it. So I ordered the Elise buffet. It looks slightly different; there is no built in wine rack. Of course my mom was glad because she doesn't think people need to know how much wine you have;). It's a beautiful piece. It looks so rich. It has lots of storage space. We even removed a shelf to make room for alcohol. I'm excited to entertain in the dining room again.
5 5Great quality! Highly recommend
5 5Why did they stop making this set, I gave mines to my Mother, and now I can't buy me another one. Why,, Stupid, When they have something that people like they stop making it. Dam! Dam, Dam..
1 5that is the original piece i ordered and payed for then 2 weeks later you sent me an email that it was discontinued and i had to get a refund and then order another set which was ok
5 5Beautiful piece with nice construction!
5 5Nice construction, not overly distressed, and nice hardware. We love it! Off white color is not overwhelmingly bright. Just perfect.
5 5Just Luke the picture! Amazing

PC players of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim got another crash-resolving update, an incremental uptick from patch 1.5. Xbox 360 and, more importantly, PlayStation 3 gamers? They remain stuck at 1.4, a patch now going on two months old, and for the PS3, still subject to a "bad memory situation," which means a crash.
That patch has been submitted to Microsoft and Sony, so, insert snark about PSN and Xbox Live updates here. But Bethesda reported that submission 10 days ago, so we're still twiddling our thumbs while Sony and Microsoft pass judgment. And while the PC patch notes say this will resolve a crash on "loading certain plugins" that is PC only. We'll have to wait to see what this patch specifically addresses for the consoles. The PC patch notes are here.
At the DICE Summit in February, Bethesda's lead designer, Todd Howard, tried to explain why Skyrim on the PS3 was so problematic. He got into a bit of a jam when he seemed to acknowledge that developers knew gamers could run into a problem in the memory and tried to adjust the code to prevent it, but were, evidently, unsuccessful. Bethesda later clarified to Kotaku that they thought they took care of that problem before the game shipped. It still persists, though Bethesda says it affects "a small percentage" of users.

And Then There Were None (1945)
CategoriesFree Classic Movies
And Then There Were None (1945), directed by Rene Clair, is one of several film adaptations of Agatha Christie's best-selling mystery novel And Then There Were None concerning several people summoned to an island retreat by a mysterious stranger, only to meet their ends one by one.
The film changes certain characters' names and adheres to the ending of the play rather than that of the novel. Though its subject matter is dark, the screenplay injects considerable humor into the proceedings, lightening the tone of Christie's grim book. It was directed by Rene Clair from a screenplay by Dudley Nichols. Its cast featured Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Louis Hayward, Roland Young, June Duprez, Mischa Auer, C. Aubrey Smith, Judith Anderson, Richard Haydn and Queenie Leonard as the people stranded on the island. The film could arguably be seen as a precursor to the modern slasher film.

Support the Occupiers
October 12, 2011
Dear CODEPINKer,
Feel like cooking up some revolution?
Here's our Recipe for Social Change:
Serves: The World
When it comes to our economic priorities, it's time for the people to get a bigger slice of the pie than the Pentagon and the corporate profiteers.
Why not bake an "Occu-pie" for your local action? Choose your favorite recipe from our Peace Never Tasted So Sweet cookbook. Help educate your community on how our tax dollars are spent by also taking the federal budget pie flyer.
If sweet pies aren't your thing, bring (or order) a pizza for your fellow protesters. The famous "Occu-pie" Libretto's created for Occupy Wall Street is 99% cheese, 1% salami, but unfortunately our federal spending pie is 48% war funds that benefit the 1%. Help keep the "Bring Our War $$ Home" message loud and clear at Occupy Together actions nationwide. The best way to pay for our needs at home is to end war.
Haven't joined your local Occupy action yet? October 15 would be a great day to start-people around the world are going to gather in solidarity to initiate global change . Find your local action here. Don't miss out on being part of this historic movement.
Rolling out the pie dough to bring the war dough home, Alli, C.J., Farida, Gayle, Janet, Jodie, Kristen, Lisa, Nancy, Medea, Melanie, Rae, Sanaa, and Tighe
p.s. The Afghanistan war anniversary prompted some powerful actions from our Ground the Drones campaign. CODEPINK was at the forefront of the protests at Creech Air Force Base and the National Air and Space Museum, where protestors, including our own Medea Benjamin, were pepper sprayed . As she reminded us, though, pepper spray is nothing compared to what innocent civilians face when drones rain bombs down on their communities. To find out what you can do to ground the drones, visit our campaign page.
CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end U.S. funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect our resources into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. The name CODEPINK satirized the Bush Administration's color-coded, fear-mongering "security" alert system that has since been phased out. CODEPINK is a lively call for the people of the world to "wage peace." More...

I bet Heidi wished it had come another day... poor girl got properly and thoroughly initiated into marching band today... man, oh, man, we are having rain like we haven't seen here yet!
The band sounded awesome, looked fantastic, and it was VERY exciting to see Heidi marching past in her uniform- even though it was pouring rain and we were also drenched and cold.
I am awaiting her phone call from the school to say she is back and ready to come home. I bet a hot bath and some yummy ho-cho will be just the ticket.
I think this season is going to be great fun watching Heidi perform. What a girl!

Can you believe it's been 8 years since the World Trade Centers collapsed? I remember I got up early that morning and was watching it a little on the television but had to drive to Seattle for a flight simulator training mission and listened on the radio as the towers collapsed. I remember standing in the simulator building talking to the pilots and mentioned that I guaranteed them that they would see bullet proof cockpit doors as a result. Besides a bunch of "look good" airport security BS, that was about the only change of substance besides bankrupting ourselves with our inappropriate reactions. Sad for those involved and they have my sympathy, even more sad what we have done to ourselves.
At any rate, this will be my last daily update until I return as I'll be heading out this Sunday. You will be in good hands with Davos providing the updates, please give him a warm welcome by providing your usual good observations and links. I'm sure he'll post up a lot of the links you provide, so keep him informed!
The equity futures this morning are up:
The dollar has fallen beneath that descending wedge. Everyone should hope it's just a throw under, because if it's not, the dollar descending further will be much less fun in the end than having the stock market descend.
Gold is back up over $1,000 as a result. Below is a chart of the dollar futures on the left, the red line is the bottom of that wedge. There was a small H&S on the dollar and it is now confirmed with a break down below support. Gold futures are on the right:
Import and export PRICES were released this morning. The month over month change into August was higher than into July. Import prices rose 2.0% and export prices rose .7% in August. Year over year, import prices fell 15%, and export prices fell 6.1%. That is still a historic collapse in prices. Pretty soon the year over year comparisons start to get easier, but I would not discount the power of that collapse and I would not be fooled into believing it's over – nothing moves in a straight line. However, crude has for now not resumed its price decline and its rise over the past few months is pressuring price data. That could begin to show up in year over year inflation data soon, the price action of crude is very important in that regard. Here's Econoday's take:
Import prices rose 2.0 percent in August reflecting a 10.5 percent jump in prices for imported petroleum products mostly crude. Excluding petroleum products, imported prices rose a sharp 0.4 percent in what will pressure next week's core data on producer and consumer prices. Prices of imported manufactured goods rose a steep 0.6 percent from both industrialized and non-industrialized countries. Prices of all imports from China rose 0.2 percent which is a sizable rise for this category.
Export prices rose 0.7 percent and were boosted by a month-to-month swing higher in agricultural prices which rose 0.2 percent vs. a 4.9 percent decline in July. Export prices for non-agricultural goods jumped an unusually high 0.8 percent.
Though there are steep readings in today's report, import and export prices for finished capital and consumer goods showed very little change indicating that the month's pressure was centered in raw materials, indications backed up by the surprisingly high readings in the ISM prices paid indexes for August. Price pressures are brewing for commodities including oil and base metals, the result of Chinese stockpiling and also forward buying and investment buying on expectations of stronger demand in the future. There was little initial reaction to today's report though gold did pop several dollars higher to $1,004.
Consumer Sentiment is released at 9:55 AM.
Yesterday the trade figures were released and this morning I have the Fed's updated charts. Below is a chart showing the balance of trade. Note that we have experienced a major change of trend. There will be movement within, but the trend has definitely changed from a widening trade deficit to a narrowing one – that's a good thing in the long run for our economy, but the bobblehead politicians and economists don't look at it that way – and all I can say is that their brains are fried – must be something in the water at Haaavard. Here's the chart:
Below is the mostly raw data chart of Imported goods:
And this is Imports expressed in yoy percent change:
Here is Exported goods:
And this is Exports expressed in yoy percent change:
Stunning charts, they paint a much truer picture of the economy than the spun and manipulated figures such as GDP, and they put into perspective the size of the "bounce" we have been experiencing. Is a 50% rise in the stock markets commensurate with what you see here? NO? Well then, perhaps there's a reason that insiders are selling again at a record pace?
That disconnect is not going to end well, Nate says, as the /ES pushes higher still right into the 1,041 pivot. The next higher pivot is at 1,061, support is at 1,018 until prices get over the 1,041 pivot and turn it into support.
McHugh's count has been more accurate than other EW callers that I follow. He is tracking this rising wedge that I have outlined in blue:
He believes that we have some more of 3 up of c up of B up to go (with some minor correction), then we'll have more consolidation and a final push higher to complete wave c up of B up and that will complete the B wave. Timing at the pace of movement would maybe put the end of B towards the end of this month or sometime next month – that would coincide with what this rising wedge is saying. That's the best I can say from what I see right now, so keep that wedge in mind over the next few weeks.
When the levee finally does break, it's going to produce a flood that you don't want to be caught in, that's for sure…

These images are from a recent photoshoot by Clive Nichols at Nymans, in West Sussex. Nymans is a grand and yet intimate Edwardian garden which has continued to evolve up to the present day.
The garden was started by Ludwig Messel, a succesful stockbroker who had come to Britain from Germany and who bought Nymans in 1890. With the help of his expert head gardener, James Comber, and encouraged by other notable gardeners in the area such as Sir Edmund Loder and William Robinson, he began to create an extensive garden full of rare trees and shrubs.
Features from Ludwig Messel's day include the pinetum, the rock garden, the heather garden, a Japanese-style pergola and stone lanterns, a lime avenue, a prospect platform and an enclosed Wall Garden. Exotic species such as magnolias and rhododendrons were introduced, many coming from plant-hunting expeditions in east Asia.
Ludwig's son Leonard Messel and his wife Maud had the house at Nymans rebuilt in the 1920s in medieval manor house style. Maud created the rose garden and Leonard continued to add botanical rarities to the garden, many of which subsequently won prizes at Royal Horticultural Society shows.
Disaster struck in February 1947 when the house burned down, destroying the important botanical library. Some parts of the house remained inhabited, but others were left ruinous as a romantic garden feature.
Nymans came to the National Trust following Leonard Messel's death in 1953. His daughter Anne, Countess of Rosse, continued the family's involvement, working with head gardener Cecil Nice. More Chinese plants came to Nymans through an exchange programme with the Ross family seat Birr Castle, in Co. Offaly, Ireland.
The great storm of 15-16 October 1987 wreaked havoc at Nymans on its hilltop site, destroying many trees. But this disaster did also allow the new head gardener David Masters to rejuvenate the garden by opening up views and bringing in more light.
Following Lady Rosse's death in 1992 Ludwig Messel's great-grandson Alistair Buchanan has been the family representative at Nymans. The current head gardener, Ed Ikin, has continued the tradition of innovation by introducing new species and successfully experimenting with a reduced watering regime in summer which encourages root growth. He recently published a book entitled Thoughtful Gardening on how to garden in harmony with nature.

Stocks, not bonds, will likely feature as the best investment picks for 2013.
Over the course of the fourth quarter of 2012, AdvisorOne kept an eye out for where investors should put their money next year, and one thing is clear: Investors seeking yield–isn't everybody nowadays?–will find more joy in equities than in fixed income, according to Wall Street's top financial analysts.
"As we begin to observe evidence that policy is successfully stimulating growth, we expect to see the initial stages of the 'Great Rotation' from bonds into stocks later in 2013," says the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research team in a comment published on Dec. 11.
Both BofA-Merrill and S&P Capital IQ predict that the S&P 500 Index will hit the 1,600 mark in 2013.
Where are the best stocks to be found? The Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors offer access to the growing middle classes in emerging markets. The Health Care sector also looks to be strong for 2013, and should see gains now that President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act is a reality. For investors who want equity exposure without buying individual stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds can also lead to yields in these sectors.
"Next year, we think it's all about the consumer," says Brian Peery, co-portfolio manager of the Hennessy Cornerstone Mid Cap 30 institutional fund (HIMDX). "The housing market is rebounding in a low to moderate growth environment. We expect GDP growth of approximately 2%."
The trouble, notes Peery's colleague Neil Hennessy, is that consumers may be buying goods at Pier 1, but they're not investing in Pier 1 stock. "Retail investors will get back into the market when interest rates go up," he says.
Judging from the best five investment picks for 2013 below, uncertain investors might want to take the plunge into stocks before that happens.
1) U.S. Housing
Peery, of Hennessy Cornerstone, likes the housing subsector within the Consumer Durables sector. Specifically, he names U.S. homebuilders including Standard Pacific (SPF) and KB Homes (KBH). Year-to-date total returns as of Dec. 12 came to 114% for SPF and 129% for KBH, according to Morningstar.
BofA-Merrill Lynch's researchers lend support to Peery's picks, noting in a comment published on Dec. 11 that U.S. home prices are expected to rise 3% in 2013. This rise would add to the 5% gain in 2012.
"Housing starts could increase by more than 25%, and a 3.5% average annual appreciation over the next 10 years should stimulate jobs to construction and related sectors such as furniture, building materials and financials," the researchers write.
2) Global Consumer
At separate media briefings in New York on Nov. 13, both Morgan Stanley Chief Investment Strategist David Darst and MFS Investments President and Chief Investment Officer Michael Roberge mentioned U.S.-based Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) as a company with U.S. headquarters which offers access to three fast-growing markets: consumer staples, health care and emerging markets.
Similarly, Morgan Stanley Deputy CIO Charles Reinhard thinks global equities are currently unloved and under-owned, and he likes what he calls "global gorillas"– consumer-sector companies such as Pepsi, Tesco and Nestle that sell a lot of products to the growing middle classes in the emerging markets.
The Consumer Discretionary sector has an overweight recommendation from S&P Capital IQ's U.S. investment policy committee as of Dec. 11, with the sector up 20.5% as of that date.
3) Health Care Stocks
Health care's returns have outpaced the market over a multiyear period, and the sector's outlook for 2013 depends on the success of reforms that will start taking place in Obama's second term, according to Dr. Mark Bussard, a research analyst in the U.S. Equity Division of T. Rowe Price.
As of Sept. 30, T. Rowe Price Health Sciences Fund (PRHSX) average annual total returns were 35.25% year to date and 47.93% for the one-year period. The fund's top holdings include Catamaran (CTRX), a pharmacy benefits manager and established Medicare Part D player, and Gilead Sciences (GILD), whose HIV medicines Bussard credits for dramatically transforming the standard of care of HIV therapy.
The Health Care sector has an overweight recommendation from S&P Capital IQ's U.S. investment policy committee as of Dec. 11, with the sector up 15.6% as of that date.
4) Real Assets in Emerging Markets
"I get asked if I believe that the emerging-markets consumer is getting long in the tooth, and I answer unequivocally that it is not," says Thornburg Developing World Fund (THDAX) portfolio manager Lewis Kaufman, adding that he especially likes EM companies that sell to local consumers.
Among THDAX's top 10 positions as of Aug. 31, Kaufman's EM company picks include Puregold Price Club Inc., the second largest modern retailer in the Philippines, and Cetip S.A., which facilitates banking, fixed income and over-the-counter derivatives registration in Brazil.
Global population growth and lifestyle upgrades should drive long-term demand for real assets, meaning consumer products that relate to food, shelter and energy, said MFS Investments portfolio manager Linda Zhang at a year-end investment outlook briefing in New York on Nov. 13.
For investors who want emerging markets exposure in an ETF, S&P Capital IQ ETF analyst Todd Rosenbluth recommends the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets fund (IEMG).
"Diversified international and emerging market products will continue to garner attention as investors seek out low-cost, diversified ways to take on added risk in hopes of achieving higher returns," Rosenbluth writes in an analyst note.
5) PIMCO Total Return ETF
For investors who want to remain in the fixed income space, S&P Capital IQ's Rosenbluth recommends the PIMCO Total Return ETF (BOND) as a fund that will continue to gather additional assets in 2013. BOND is the fastest growing and largest actively managed ETF ever for two good reasons: it's a solid performer and it's managed by bond guru Bill Gross.
"This is a watershed event. You're taking the largest actively managed mutual fund and making it more accessible, more transparent and cheaper, which is appealing to many potential investors," Rosenbluth told AdvisorOne when the ETF launched back in March.
Through November, the ETF has grown to $3.7 billion in assets.
"Inflows to fixed income ETFs will continue at a rapid pace as investors hunt for yield at low cost," Rosenbluth wrote in an analyst note published on Dec. 10. "PIMCO Total Return ETF follows a strategy similar to that of a mutual fund with the same name … while SPDR Barclays Capital Short Term High Yield Bond (SJNK) added more than $500 million in just eight-plus months. With the yield on the 10-year Treasury note likely to remain below 2% in 2013, we think investors will continue to see the benefits of these ETFs."

During Washington's 31-28 victory over the the Ravens five weeks ago, Haloti Ngata brought down Robert Griffin III during the fourth quarter, leaving Griffin limping. Griffin sat out one play, then returned for four more, going 2/3 and advancing Washington to the Baltimore 16 before intentionally grounding the ball and leaving the game for good. Kirk Cousins would lead the team to an overtime victory that day, and to a blowout win in Cleveland the following week before Griffin returned in Week 16. Doctors ultimately diagnosed Griffin with a sprained knee, and he seemed to have made a full recovery.
Today, about six hours before the Redskins kick off in their wildcard game against the Seahawks, Dr. James Andrews (the famous orthopedic surgeon who also acts as a team doctor for the Redskins) cast some doubt on the prospects of that recovery, and suggested that Mike Shanahan had lied about the crucial stretch in which Griffin bounded back into the game before collapsing four plays later.
In theory, Dr. Andrews should have cleared Griffin to play, and for some time, the story was that he did. At a postgame press conference after the game against the Ravens, Mike Shanahan described the exchange thusly:
"He's on the sidelines with Dr. Andrews. He had a chance to look at him and he said he could go back in," Shanahan said Dec. 10. "(I said) 'Hey, Dr. Andrews, can Robert go back in?'
'Yeah, he can go back in.'
'Robert, go back in.'
"That was it," Shanahan said.
None of that happened! Mike Shanahan was lying to the collective face of the news media, as football coaches often do—but this time about health precautions taken to ensure the long-term safety of his star player. (Not the first time he's done that this season.) Andrews told USA Today:
"[Griffin] didn't even let us look at him," Andrews said. "He came off the field, walked through the sidelines, circled back through the players, and took off back to the field. It wasn't our opinion.
"We didn't even get to touch him or talk to him. Scared the hell out of me."
Andrews is still scared. Though Griffin has led the Redskins to consecutive wins, he is "still recovering," and the saga has been "a trying moment" for Andrews. As with the past two weeks, Griffin will be wearing a knee brace when he takes the field this afternoon.

CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, July 4, 2012) – The LA Galaxy, in partnership with American Skating Entertainment Centers (ASEC), have announced the acquisition of South Coast Soccer City in Torrance, Calif. This joint venture will re-develop the indoor facility, which will become the LA Galaxy Soccer Center. A formal re-launch will take place later this summer in which the Galaxy will detail plans for future programming of the facility in an effort provide soccer fans throughout Southern California the opportunity to practice and play at a state-of-the-art soccer center.
"We are excited to be partnering with ASEC as they are the leader in operating sports facilities around the country," said Chris McGowan, COO of AEG Sports and the LA Galaxy. "The goal of this partnership will be to turn LA Galaxy Soccer Center into the best soccer facility in the United States and to introduce soccer fans throughout Southern California to the LA Galaxy brand."
ASEC is the largest independent owner/operator of ice rinks and other sports facilities in the United States including MVP Sports at The Factory, an indoor soccer facility in North Carolina. ASEC owns and/or operates 14 facilities with strong local brands in New York, North Carolina, Texas, California, Maryland, and Colorado.
"This is a great opportunity for ASEC to partner with the LA Galaxy while improving on an already fun recreational experience at South Coast Soccer City," said ASEC President Brad Berman. "The City of Torrance is a superior community that embraces youth and adult sport activities. We believe this is the right community and partnership to grow the game of soccer"
The LA Galaxy Soccer Center will be a fully developed soccer facility that will provide local programs for soccer players of all ages. The development plan will include a skill development center designed to improve the skills of Southern California's amateur soccer players via new futsal and soccer programming. LA Galaxy Soccer Center will also run several educational soccer programs with clinics that will include current Galaxy players, alumni and staff.
Additionally, the Galaxy will launch the Galaxy Juniors, a development program for kids ages 4-9 that will introduce kids to the game of soccer. For more information on any of these programs, please contact Jessica Campbell, Director of Program Development at 888-576-223 or via email at email@example.com.

The things that you find on the internet! Bishop Sheen gives a brilliant exposition of the miracle of Fatima.
Bishop Sheen believed that our Lady of Fatima would lead to the conversion of Islam. Here are his thoughts on that subject:
Moslemism is the only great post-Christian religion of the world. Because it had its origin in the seventh century under Mohammed, it was possible to unite within it some elements of Christianity and of Judaism.
Moslemism takes the doctrine of the unity of God, His Majesty, and His Creative Power, and uses it as a basis for the repudiation of Christ, the Son of God.
Misunderstanding the notion of the Trinity, Mohammed made Christ a prophet only.
The Catholic Church throughout Northern Africa was virtually destroyed by Moslem power and at the present time (circa 1950), the Moslems are beginning to rise again.

Trust Fall
Never trust a "trust fall," especially if you don't really understand it. This illustrates a recurring theme in parenting, in that we have a hard time figuring out all the details we need to communicate when teaching a child something brand new. Sure, we know how it works, but there's so many ways to misunderstand when it's something you've never seen. -via Daily Picks and Flicks

Are Payoneer's Global Payment Service Details Still Compatiable with Paypal?

Hello, simple choose payoneer as your payment options from your work place and start request payment from payoneer service and it free of chance when you become payoneer member
it's working, however i had to create the a new paypal account because of their 2500 eur limit. On the new paypal account i could register my payoneer card, but that didn't made the account verified.0

LEMNSAKIB Member Posts: 3 ✭But, is the PayPal verified by the EU Bank account?0
No, it is not accepted any more.
Yes, you can add it if you want to twist the rules. It's your conscious call. Search my other posts about Paypal and you'll see how you can do it, but it's just to show how cheap the system is, it's not advisable to go that route.0

What do you think about Euro Payment service?0
I haven't tried yet, as I gave up on Paypal already, but technically it might work, as not lots of people are using it. Still, you have to have a European Paypal account, so that it'll allow you to add the EUPS, and if you're based in the EU zone, then go ahead, otherwise, and especially if you're in another zone, and your IP is flagged from another country then you try to do that, the System will detect you and disable that account permanently.0

Great, thanks for the detail, If I use private proxy, will it make sense?0
No, it's verified by the payoneer card. Payoneer bank account can't be verified because the pin code of the transfer can't be read on payoneer.
But one verification is enough, if you're verified by the card, the limits are lifted for bank accounts too.0
I am having the same issue. My account was verified and now it is not linked and will not accept the bank account number0
Here is the response what i got from paypal.
Dear Mohammad Abdullah,
Hello! My name is Celine from PayPal Products and Site Support. My apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I understand that you're concerned why you're unable to add the bank to the account.
While customers in various countries can link bank accounts to their PayPal account, some countries are limited to only linking US bank accounts. The use of Virtual Bank Accounts is not allowed as they do not meet the 'Know Your Customer" and customer protection guidelines outlined in various laws and regulations.
As outlined in the Payoneer US Payment Service Terms and Conditions, the Payoneer account is not a bank account and therefore you would not be able to add it to your PayPal account. Section 14, ("Disclaimers"), states, ?The US Payment Service is not a bank account in the United States and funds received on your behalf are not FDIC-insured". For additional information, I recommend that you contact Payoneer directly at 1-800-251-2521.
At the same time, you are welcome to add a traditional checking or savings account on PayPal.
We appreciate your understanding to this matter. Thank you for choosing PayPal to process your payments.

I also got that message after I contacted them on why they removed my Payoneer bank. So now I have no bank and no verified status either!!!
Can anyone comment if it would be a good idea to buy a virtual bank from Auction Essistance to verify my account?0
Oh God! that's bad.0
Is here anyone who can response to my query?0

Kitty Member Posts: 4 ✭@Michael.Jones
As of some time last year (I think) PayPal has stopped approving Payoneer bank accounts to be linked with PayPal (specifically First Century Bank accounts). The same thing happened to me. When my Payonner MC expired last year and I had it renewed, I couldn't link the new account with my PayPal.
However, since my Payoneer account has alternative bank account from Bank of America, I was able to link it with PayPal.0
Hi guys, I
My partner uses paypal and apparently he has trouble sending funds to my payoneer bank account/ doesn't know how to.
He said he took this from the site: Please note: US residents cannot sign up directly to Payoneer via the website.
Is this so complicated,does he actually have to sign up to payoneer?? how do I direct him?
I'd be really grateful if someone could help.0
Also I see on my account that I can only send requests to receive money from European companies??? Why? I've worked with US residents with paypal just fine before0
webdeem Member Posts: 51 ✭✭Yes virtual accounts of Bank of America are working fine on PayPal.

mohamad1 Member Posts: 0 ✭Hello,
Two days earlier, i received a refund from Ebay for a payment i did through PayPal using my payoneer credit card.
The refund shows in my PayPal account history, but it doesn't show in my credit card log/balance.
Is this normal? How many days does it take to receive the refund to my credit card?
Thanks in advance.0
Karlahe Member Posts: 0 ✭Hi!
I'd have my Payoneer card for a long time, but without payments. Recently, I have some funds in my Paypal account and I want to transfer to Payoneer. Is it possible? I'd tried to associate card and account and both said: not active. I'd never received money on Payoneer before but I'll about to get a paid job for a few months and I want to receive this payments on Payoneer, but first I want to be sure it's working right. I'll be a US payment System.
Thanks for your help!0
Ataman357 Member Posts: 2 ✭Hello !
I tried to add in my PayPal account my new Payoneer US bank account and my new Payoneer Prepaid Debit MasterCard, but PayPal rejected both of them
The messages were as follows:
1. Your bank is DISABLED, please try another bank
2. This card is NOT accepted, use a different card
These are not messages of some my mistake, these messages totally rejects the Global Payment Service of Payoneer....

nikitaka Member Posts: 1 ✭Hi everybody!
Bad news about PP is that Payoneer Virtual Accounts can be registered as bank account, but! After you withdraw money from PP - they are being disabled and you can't add them again, as many of you wrote before.
Payoneer direct deposit allows you to use 4 different virtual accounts, so that means you can make 4 withdrawals. After that you'll have no more options how to withdraw your money from paypal to payoneer.
I tried this two times, and it works, but be fast - just after you receive verifying deposits from PP - confirm them immediately and withdraw. Next day or maybe two days your confirmed bank account will be disabled by PP, but you'll receive money to payoneer card.
Yes, I understand that it's not a decision, but if somebody's stuck with withdrawing - it might help four times-) B)0

PayPal will not accept my Payoneer US payment service bank account. PayPal did accept and verify the account. Then when I went back into PayPal a couple days later the account was not linked and would not be accepted for a link.
Is Paypal rejecting Payoneer bank accounts?
Is our only option to link our Payoneer our MasterCard to PayPal?0
Kahleb Member Posts: 1 ✭Greetings,
I have submitted my ID and questionnaire for US Global Payment Services about three weeks ago. The ID has been approved but the status of the questionaire still reads "submitted". It seems that because of this I have not yet been able to link my account to my paypal? Everytime I try, I get the error message on paypal, telling me that I need to try later. This is getting really bad for my as I need to access my paypal funds ASAP. I have contacted payoneer customer support two times, but received no response. Can anyone help or advise? Thanks in advance!0
This isn't worked few months ago(paypal simply rejected all payoneer cards), but i was bored so i tried it again today, and IT WORKED, and lifted the withdraw limits on paypal account!
It could be a bug, so if you need this, do it fast, maybe you won't have more chance :)0

Sharp pitching carries Brewers past Giants
Peralta delivers quality start; Henderson goes 1 1/3 innings for save
SAN FRANCISCO -- Rookie starter Wily Peralta worked into the seventh inning, rookie closer Jim Henderson recorded his first four-out save and the Brewers used a 3-1 win over the Giants on Tuesday to remind their fans that they have some pieces in place to start over next season.
"We have to finish on a positive [note] for the next year," said another of those pieces, All-Star center fielder Carlos Gomez, whose second-inning home run provided a lead that would hold. "We still have 50 games to play, and it's really important if ... the young guys like Peralta and young guys in the bullpen have confidence to put into next year.
"If we put it together, we can be a good team."
Peralta and Giants starter Matt Cain carried identically disappointing 4.57 ERAs to the mound on a cool night at AT&T Park but pitched to a much higher level, Cain allowing two earned runs in seven efficient innings before a scoring opportunity forced his early exit, and Peralta allowing only one run in 6 1/3 innings for his first victory since July 14.
The Brewers got to Cain in the second inning, when Gomez jumped a first-pitch slider for his team-best 18th home run, and in the fourth, when Norichika Aoki led off with a double and eventually scored the first of his two runs on a wild pickoff throw from Giants catcher Buster Posey.
Those two hits represented half of the Brewers' offense against Cain, who did not walk a batter and struck out six while navigating seven innings on 87 pitches.
Peralta needed 108 pitches for 6 1/3 innings and allowed a baserunner in each of the seven innings he worked. But he struck out the side in the second and did not allow a Giants runner past first base until the fifth, when he retired Marco Scutaro on a routine, inning-ending groundout to strand runners at second and third base.
Peralta found more trouble in the seventh when Brandon Belt led off with a double into the right-field corner and Roger Kieschnick followed with a single that deflected off Peralta's foot. When a groundout pushed Kieschnick to second base, representing the tying run, the Brewers called for their most reliable reliever, and Brandon Kintzler allowed Joaquin Arias' run-scoring groundout but retired Scutaro on a flyout to preserve a 2-1 lead.
The Brewers practiced more damage control in the eighth inning after Brandon Crawford led off against Kintzler with a double. Rob Wooten -- the closer at Triple-A Nashville only two weeks ago -- took over to face Hunter Pence, who advanced the runner with a lineout to right field, and Posey, who grounded to a drawn-in infield.
Enter Henderson, who had not recorded more than three outs in any of his previous 79 appearances in the Major Leagues. He induced a popout to shallow left field from Pablo Sandoval, then pitched around a two-out walk in the ninth for his 16th save this season.
It may not have been the ideal bullpen formula for Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, who figures to be active Wednesday with right-hander Marco Estrada returning from the disabled list after throwing only 47 pitches in his most recent Minor League rehab start.
"We wanted to win that ballgame," Roenicke said. "We were going to do whatever we needed to do to win it. If we have a chance to win games, we'll try to do it, and then we'll figure it out the next day."
Henderson's 25th pitch was a 98 mph fastball to Arias, who swung through it to end the game.
"Last time I tried to go more than three outs, I failed," said Henderson, referring to a 10-inning loss at Houston last Aug. 11. "I want to prove that I can do that, help the team any way I can, whether it's four outs, five outs, six outs. That was a goal in the offseason for me, to come in and be able to do something like that and help my future in the game. Closers come and go, and at some point you're going to have to throw more than three outs."
The Giants were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, including 1-for-8 over the final three innings. They are 2-for-22 with runners in scoring position through the first two games of this four-game series.
"We're getting the right guys up there -- and they're not always going to do it, we know that -- but it's kind of hit us as a club as a whole," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "And it's been here for a while."
Henderson preserved a welcome win for Peralta, who allowed only one run in his first four starts in July but finished the month with a pair of duds, allowing eight earned runs in 8 2/3 innings of losses to the Rockies and Cubs.
"I feel good. I think I needed an outing like that," Peralta said. "I was really struggling those last two."
"I know he got in trouble there the last inning," Roenicke said, "but his fastball was down in the zone with great life, and he's really starting to like the slider and the changeup to the point where he's mixing it into his arsenal more often. Anytime he can do that, with the fastball he has, he's going to be tough to hit."
The Brewers avoided falling back to 19 games under .500, which would have matched their low point this season. Instead, they improved to 48-65.
"Fantastic -- tonight was a night that everybody picked each other up," Henderson said.

Justin Bieber's Music Just Grew Pubes: 'Boyfriend' Is Fantastic
[There was a video here]
It's so simple, babies will swoon. "Boyfriend," the first single from Justin Bieber's upcoming third full-length, Believe (a silly made up word derived from the real word "Belieber"), opens with an eerie birdcall and stark 808 clap. Then Bieber's increasingly present rapping alter-ego, Swaggy Doo (not his actual moniker, but it should be), competently says nothing and mentions eating fondue by the fire. The whatever-ness of these eight bars only makes the resulting hook that much grabbier. Saying hello to falsetto is a joy – a magically mature Bieber sounds as assured as Justin Timberlake or Robin Thicke as he floats over pairs of brusque acoustic-guitar chords in a plea that manages to be anthemic and low-key.
The rapping comes back and it's even more ridiculous. "I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe," he promises (cool Toy Story, bro). And then, he proves just how much he has to say: "Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend / You could be my girlfriend until the (censored) world ends." It goes to show that this diabolical earworm is pretty dumb, but at least when "Boyfriend" isn't seducing, it's giving us something to laugh at. That is swag for the masses.

[LMNA_HUMAN] Defects in LMNA are the cause of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 2, autosomal dominant (EDMD2) [MIM:181350]. A degenerative myopathy characterized by weakness and atrophy of muscle without involvement of the nervous system, early contractures of the elbows, Achilles tendons and spine, and cardiomyopathy associated with cardiac conduction defects.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Defects in LMNA are the cause of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 3, autosomal recessive (EDMD3) [MIM:181350]. Defects in LMNA are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1A (CMD1A) [MIM:115200]. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death.[14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] Defects in LMNA are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) [MIM:151660]; also known as familial partial lipodystrophy Dunnigan type. A disorder characterized by the loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the lower parts of the body (limbs, buttocks, trunk). It is accompanied by an accumulation of adipose tissue in the face and neck causing a double chin, fat neck, or cushingoid appearance. Adipose tissue may also accumulate in the axillae, back, labia majora, and intraabdominal region. Affected patients are insulin-resistant and may develop glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus after age 20 years, hypertriglyceridemia, and low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol.[27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] Defects in LMNA are the cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD1B) [MIM:159001]. LGMD1B is an autosomal dominant degenerative myopathy with age-related atrioventricular cardiac conduction disturbances, dilated cardiomyopathy, and the absence of early contractures. LGMD1B is characterized by slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness of the hip and shoulder girdles. Muscle biopsy shows mild dystrophic changes.[35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] Defects in LMNA are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1 (CMT2B1) [MIM:605588]. CMT2B1 is a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the most common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathy or CMT1, and primary peripheral axonal neuropathy or CMT2. Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal regeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. CMT2B1 inheritance is autosomal recessive.[41] Defects in LMNA are the cause of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) [MIM:176670]. HGPS is a rare genetic disorder characterized by features reminiscent of marked premature aging. Note=HGPS is caused by the toxic accumulation of a mutant form of lamin-A/C. This mutant protein, called progerin, acts to deregulate mitosis and DNA damage signaling, leading to premature cell death and senescence. Progerin lacks the conserved ZMPSTE24/FACE1 cleavage site and therefore remains permanently farnesylated. Thus, although it can enter the nucleus and associate with the nuclear envelope, it cannot incorporate normally into the nuclear lamina.[42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] Defects in LMNA are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (CMDHH) [MIM:212112]. A disorder characterized by the association of genital anomalies, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and dilated cardiomyopathy. Patients can present other variable clinical manifestations including mental retardation, skeletal anomalies, scleroderma-like skin, graying and thinning of hair, osteoporosis. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Defects in LMNA are the cause of mandibuloacral dysplasia with type A lipodystrophy (MADA) [MIM:248370]. A disorder characterized by mandibular and clavicular hypoplasia, acroosteolysis, delayed closure of the cranial suture, progeroide appearance, partial alopecia, soft tissue calcinosis, joint contractures, and partial lipodystrophy with loss of subcutaneous fat from the extremities. Adipose tissue in the face, neck and trunk is normal or increased.[48] [49] [50] Defects in LMNA are a cause of lethal tight skin contracture syndrome (LTSCS) [MIM:275210]; also known as restrictive dermopathy (RD). Lethal tight skin contracture syndrome is a rare disorder mainly characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, tight and rigid skin with erosions, prominent superficial vasculature and epidermal hyperkeratosis, facial features (small mouth, small pinched nose and micrognathia), sparse/absent eyelashes and eyebrows, mineralization defects of the skull, thin dysplastic clavicles, pulmonary hypoplasia, multiple joint contractures and an early neonatal lethal course. Liveborn children usually die within the first week of life. The overall prevalence of consanguineous cases suggested an autosomal recessive inheritance.[51] Defects in LMNA are the cause of heart-hand syndrome Slovenian type (HHS-Slovenian) [MIM:610140]. Heart-hand syndrome (HHS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by the co-occurrence of a congenital cardiac disease and limb malformations. Defects in LMNA are the cause of muscular dystrophy congenital LMNA-related (MDCL) [MIM:613205]. It is a form of congenital muscular dystrophy. Patients present at birth, or within the first few months of life, with hypotonia, muscle weakness and often with joint contractures.[52]
[LMNA_HUMAN] Lamins are components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane, which is thought to provide a framework for the nuclear envelope and may also interact with chromatin. Lamin A and C are present in equal amounts in the lamina of mammals. Plays an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics.[53] [54] Prelamin-A/C can accelerate smooth muscle cell senescence. It acts to disrupt mitosis and induce DNA damage in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to mitotic failure, genomic instability, and premature senescence.[55] [56]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The elementary building block of all intermediate filaments (IFs) is a dimer featuring a central alpha-helical rod domain flanked by the N- and C-terminal end domains. In nuclear IF proteins (lamins), the rod domain consists of two coiled-coil segments, coil1 and coil2, that are connected by a short non-helical linker. Coil1 and the C-terminal part of coil2 contain the two highly conserved IF consensus motifs involved in the longitudinal assembly of dimers. The previously solved crystal structure of a lamin A fragment (residues 305-387) corresponding to the second half of coil2 has yielded a parallel left-handed coiled coil. Here, we present the crystal structure and solution properties of another human lamin A fragment (residues 328-398), which is largely overlapping with fragment 305-387 but harbors a short segment of the tail domain. Unexpectedly, no parallel coiled coil forms within the crystal. Instead, the alpha-helices are arranged such that two anti-parallel coiled-coil interfaces are formed. The most significant interface has a right-handed geometry, which is accounted for by a characteristic 15-residue repeat pattern that overlays with the canonical heptad repeat pattern. The second interface is a left-handed anti-parallel coiled coil based on the predicted heptad repeat pattern. In solution, the fragment reveals only a weak dimerization propensity. We speculate that the C-terminus of coil2 might unzip, thereby allowing for a right-handed coiled-coil interface to form between two laterally aligned dimers. Such an interface might co-exist with a heterotetrameric left-handed coiled-coil assembly, which is expected to be responsible for the longitudinal A(CN) contact.
Simultaneous Formation of Right- and Left-handed Anti-parallel Coiled-coil Interfaces by a Coil2 Fragment of Human Lamin A.,Kapinos LE, Burkhard P, Herrmann H, Aebi U, Strelkov SV J Mol Biol. 2011 Apr 22;408(1):135-46. Epub 2011 Feb 24. PMID:21354179[57]

Commercial ships spew half as much particulate pollution as world's cars
Globally, commercial ships emit almost half as much particulate pollution into the air as the total amount released by cars, according to a new study. Ship pollutants affect both the Earth's climate and the health of people living along coastlines.
The study is the first to provide a global estimate of maritime shipping's total contribution to air particle pollution based on direct measurements of emissions. The authors estimate that worldwide, ships emit 0.9 teragrams, or about 2.2 million pounds, of particulate pollution each year. Shipping also contributes almost 30 percent of smog-forming nitrogen oxide gases.
"Since more than 70 percent of shipping traffic takes place within 250 miles of the coastline, this is a significant health concern for coastal communities," says lead author Daniel Lack, a researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. He and his colleagues reported their findings on 25 February 2009 in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres, a publication of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
Earlier research by one of the study's authors, James Corbett, of the University of Delaware, in Newark, linked particulate pollution to premature deaths among coastal populations.
Commercial ships emit both particulate pollution and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide from ships makes up roughly three percent of all human-caused emissions of the gas. But particulate pollution and carbon dioxide have opposite effects on climate. The particles have a global cooling effect at least five times greater than the global warming effect from ships' carbon dioxide emissions, Lack says.
Lack is also with the Boulder-based Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, which is jointly supported by NOAA and the University of Colorado, Boulder.
During the summer of 2006, Lack and colleagues, aboard the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown, analyzed the exhaust from over 200 commercial vessels, including cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships, in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay, and the Houston Ship Channel. The researchers also examined the chemistry of particles in ship exhaust to understand what makes ships such hefty polluters.
Ships emit sulfates − the same polluting particles associated with diesel-engine cars and trucks that prompted improvements in on-road vehicle fuel standards. Sulfate emissions from ships vary with the concentration of sulfur in ship fuel, the authors find. Globally, fuel sulfur content is capped under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. As a result of the cap, some ships use "cleaner," low-sulfur fuels, while others continue to use the high-sulfur counterparts.
Yet, sulfates make up just under half of shipping's total particle emissions, according to the new study. The other half, composed by organic pollutants and sooty, black carbon, are not directly targeted by today's regulations.
A 2008 study by Lack's team focused exclusively on soot. Emissions of these non-sulfate particles, the earlier study found, depend on the operating speed of the engine and the amount of lubricating oil needed to deal with wear and tear from burning less-refined fuels. "Fortunately, engines burning 'cleaner,' low-sulfur fuels tend to require less complex lubricants. So the sulfur fuel regulations have the indirect effect of reducing the organic particles emitted," says Corbett.
One surprising result of burning low-sulfur fuels is that, although total particle emissions diminish, the time that particles spend in the air appears to increase. It's while they're airborne that particles pose a risk to human health and affect climate.
Lack and colleagues find that the organic and black carbon portion of ship exhaust is less likely to form cloud droplets. As a result, these particles remain suspended for longer periods of time before being washed to the ground through precipitation.
