Executive Staff
Peter T. Wilderotter - President and CEO
I have worked in the Independent (non-profit) Sector for my entire career. We provide that valuable intersection in areas where the market isn't ready or isn't interested in the problem or solution and the government isn't capable. When we click, a synergy is created that is unstoppable.
What inspires our board and staff is following through on and achieving in our lifetimes what Christopher & Dana so generously and courageously started. This is a civil rights movement and although the baton was passed to us in the most unfair and sad way, we will hold it brightly and with our founders' optimism until we reach the finish line.
Susan Howley - Executive Vice President, Research
It's my responsibility to insure that all our research programs are implemented efficiently, AND EFFECTIVELY, according to the policies of the Foundation and the recommendations of our scientific advisory panels. I spend the lion's share of my time working closely with all our research grantees and advisors, networking and trying to remove barriers that slow the pace of their progress. Although I have no formal scientific training, I am envious of the passion with which scientists live their lives and pursue their work. So much so that in another life, I'd join their ranks as a neuroscientist.
Aimee Hunnewell - Vice President of Development
Aimee began her career at the Reeve Foundation in 1997 when the organization was still known as the American Paralysis Association (APA). She became Vice President of Development in January of 2010 and currently manages a development department of six, overseeing all fundraising initiatives from direct mail, major gifts and planned giving, to Team Reeve, special events and corporate & foundation relations. She is also a member of the Executive Management Team and works closely with the President & CEO, the accounting, operations and HR departments, to coordinate processes and support overall Foundation needs.
During her tenure, Aimee has experienced growth and positive change both personally and most importantly in the research programs & quality of life initiatives that the Foundation supports. She is fueled by the knowledge that the Reeve Foundation is making a difference and carrying on the vital work that Christopher & Dana Reeve believed in so passionately.
Aimee received her BA from Boston College, and currently lives with her husband and three children in Peapack-Gladstone. In her spare time, when she's not at a sporting event or activity with one of her kids, she enjoys reading, home improvements and interior decorating.

The only thing I liked about this liner is the small tapered brush that let me have decent control over the watery liquid liner. The liquid liner itself went on unevenly. When I finally got it even after a couple of coats it began flaking off at the inner corner area of my eyes as soon as it dried. THEN it started peeling off . This is a terrible formula. $6.09 at the grocery store for this. I returned it immediately for their full n soft wp mascara which was 20 cents less.

Tried to a 'tight' feeling on my lash line. Felt crusty too. Then I rubbed my eye in curiosity and IT FLAKED OFF!
Would never buy again, hate the brush applicator as you can't get such a thin line.
Nice black pigment but to the point where it looks unnatural. Smelt weird, in a bad way.
Never buy again. Threw thing away.
I reccomend mac super slick. Has a felt tip, easier to apply and doesn't dry to a tight feeling. Doesn't flake off either.

FLAKING. FLAKING. FLAKING. The brush is easy to use, the brush is super thin, and it glides on jet black and glossy...but it doesn't stay on!! My eyes were so irritated today because it kept flaking off into my eye. Not only were my eyes itchy and irritated but I looked like a mess because I had bits of eyeliner on my lash line.
Will NOT repurchase!

After putting on this eyeliner, it starts to look crusty after awhile and you can peel it off like a sticker which is very annoying. Definitely not buying again

This seems like an excellent eyeliner when you put it on (glossy, lots of product, highly pigmented, fast drying, etc.) But the product just seems to flake off. Glad I've never made it out the door with this on or this would look really embarassing. Lol. Do not recommend.

This product flakes like crazy, first off. It's not to the point where you can really tell up close, but if you're a wing type of girl/guy, that wing will be gone after about 5 hours. Not sure why. It goes on nice and smooth, dries fast, is waterproof, non-smudgable and is very affordable for how much you are getting. 7.5 ml is a crapload of product. The packaging is crap, the brush makes it hard to get thin lines but I like mine kind of thick anyways but it is hard for beginners to use. Also, the stopper is not very good at its job, some of the liner, which is a bit thick, but workable, gets onto the wand of the brush and when you apply it, it gets on your lashes. You can get the crumbs off your lashes but pretty messy indeed. I like, the finish, however, a semi-matte black. Darker than their Line Stiletto in "Blackest Black". If this product had better packaging and didn't flake as easily I'd love it to death. I'll stick with it cause the finish is nice but I think I'd use Wet N Wild's creme liner instead, never really fails.

Pros: One tube lasts a long time; you certainly get a lot for your money. Good deep color. Doesn't sting my sensitive eyes. Good for contact lens wearers. For the price, it is good for beginners. But the little bristles of the brush can make it harder to apply a perfectly defined line. I have shaky hands, so the applicator was not the best. It can flake after awhile..sometimes it does, and sometimes it won't. Overall, if I have the extra money, I prefer to purchase another liquid liner.

You get what you pay for! This is probably the cheapest liner I saw at the drugstore, and for the reason alone I picked it up. It says waterproof -but its never stayed on long enough for me to test it. It flakes off a LOT. I had it on for only two hours, but by the time i did a makeup check, it looked like I had done my eye makeup yesterday.
It goes on alright, very smooth. Brush is just so so.

Maybe the formula has changed since I tried this out a while back, but it flaked/peeled on me. Other than that, it was good-easy to apply, easy to find & purchase, dark black color, packaging is nothing special but functions as its supposed to.

Game & Watch Gallery 4
Does anyone still play this game?
I'm done attacking people with Pokemon. Now if I don't like someone, I'll have an army of Phantoms attack him or her. (see quote)
I haven't gotten this one yet...but just today, i got the first three G&WGs which are all very good...
My old review for this game is embarrassing as hell. WTF was I thinking when I wrote that?!
I just got 139 stars today.
The dang Octopus. I don't know why I can't get more than one star in classic.
Lol, this game is fun! I still play it. My favorite game is Climbers in the museum section.
I bought it yesterday. S:
Top 5:
Kirby Superstar, Flying Dragon, Tales of Symphonia, Puyo Puyo Fever & Sonic the Hedgehog II.
This game is great. <3
Join the Super Smash Brotherhood!
171 stars here.
And has anyone actually gotten every star?
Yes. 118 stars.
"I like your sig Nintendo!" -EnemyMan9
51 stars, I think. Thank you, versus-mode games, for easy stars, as I ten to suck big time. Oh, but when I got that second music track in... *forgets name* where you're getting characters out of the way of colored water balloons, from collecting five moons without getting friggin' hit, that was victorious. Glad that it hasn't decided to wipe itself, or I'd be peeved. Damn, that Octopus music track is catchy (at least after that only-at-the-beginning intro bit).
It's a used copy, with E A C wirtten on the front. I had seen at least one other GBA game labelled as such (I think, at least, and if I am RingC, I think it was in a different store*). Kinda weird... maybe I'll go around and see if there are any for sale like this and collect 'em... or is that sorta stalker-ish?

"Don't buy into the hype"
You have to be kidding me. After reading the reviews on this book I couldn't wait to check it out . What a disappointment. The writing style is juvenile, the characters are paper thin and there is nothing remotely believable or insightful. With so many quality writers out there, how did this one get so much press? I rarely give up on a book more than half way in but this one forced me to.

Even in the early days of Nazi Germany, there were good people who called out the evil. They were purged, jailed or killed, or they fled the country.
Rob Kall has spent his adult life as an awakener and empowerer-- first in the field of biofeedback, inventing products, developing software and a music recording label, MuPsych, within the company he founded in 1978-- Futurehealth, and founding, organizing and running 3 conferences: Winter Brain, on Neurofeedback and consciousness, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology (a pioneer in the field of Positive Psychology, first presenting workshops on it in 1985) and Storycon Summit Meeting on the Art Science and Application of Story-- each the first of their kind. Then, when he found the process of raising people's consciousness and empowering them to take more control of their lives one person at a time was too slow, he founded Opednews.com-- which has been the top search result on Google for the terms liberal news and progressive opinion for several years. Rob began his Bottom-up Radio show, broadcast on WNJC 1360 AM to Metro Philly, also available on iTunes, covering the transition of our culture, business and world from predominantly Top-down (hierarchical, centralized, authoritarian, patriarchal, big) to bottom-up (egalitarian, local, interdependent, grassroots, archetypal feminine and small.) Recent long-term projects include a book, Bottom-up-- The Connection Revolution, debillionairizing the planet and the Psychopathy Defense and Optimization Project.

Even though we ARE Nikon lovers,we are NOT affiliated with Nikon Corp. in any way.
Already have an account? Login
I have been using RSS feeds to keep me informed about postings on 6 Nikonians forums. For some reason 3 of these, the D700, the Sports and the Motor Sports seem to have stopped working. That is, since 22 February none of these have been updating and my RSS newsreader shows the broken link symbol for each of them. The other 3 Nikonian RSS links I have do not show a broken links (but are updated very infrequently). All of my other RSS feeds (I have about 25 or so) seem to be working fine. Has something changed at Nikonians?
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Since there has been no response to the OP I have investigated the broken RSS feeds a bit further.The links which still work look like this in my RSS Readers (NetNewsWire and Vienna):http://podcasts.nikonians.org/behindthelens.xmlhttp://podcasts.nikonians.org/imagedoctors.xmlhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/TheNikoniansPhotoprofessors?format=xmlThe ones which do not work look like this:http://www.nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=nik_rss&forum=226http://www.nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=nik_rss&forum=190http://www.nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=nik_rss&forum=167Forum 226 is the D700 forum, 190 is the English Cafe and 167 is the Sports forum.Interestingly, an RSS link to the D700 forum I created some months ago as a bookmark in Firefox shows two URLs, a Feed Location and a Site location. This still works correctly, opening the D700 forum page. The Site location is http://www.nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=226The Feed Location is http://www.nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=nik_rss&forum=226When I recreate the same RSS link bookmark in Firefox now it does NOT Work, showing documents from the Nikonians Blog instead of the D700 forum. The respective Firefox links are now - Site Location:http://blog.nikonians.org/and Feed Location:http://blog.nikonians.org/index.xmlWhen I recreate these links using my RSS reader they also incorrectly show documents from the Nikonians blog and not from the Forum where the RSS link was obtained. My readers also tell me that I am trying to create an existing link if I create them in a row. That is, it cannot differentiate between the RSS links from the 3 forums.I hope this provides sufficient information for the problem to be corrected.
Thank you.Will investigate.

Once A Fellow, Always a Fellow
Recently, I was sitting in my office listening to a Hanukkah mix on Spotify (one of the many reasons that I know that I will always, always be a Jewish professional). A song came on that immediately transported me to the back-roads of the Mississippi Delta: Neal Katz's "Be A Light."
The Neal Katz "Be a Light: Chanukah Songs for Grown-Ups" CD graced the middle console of the ISJL van when I was an Education Fellow (2010-2012). I often listened to it on long drives, regardless of the season. Seriously, have I mentioned I am destined to forever be a Jewish professional? The chorus begins: "Be a light, be a light / Shine proudly and loudly in the dark of the night."
Humming this song, which I had listened to approximately 22 times as the holiday approached, I rang in Hanukkah with a Google Hangout. I set up my menorah, and placed it in front a computer screen. This doesn't sound very intimate or personal, but let me explain.
For the last three years, my cohort of 2010-2012 ISJL Education Fellow alumni has spent one night of Hanukkah virtually together. I invite them to a video chat, and from three different time zones, we kindle the lights, singing the blessings down South, up North, all over. It's certainly a "Shehechiyanu moment," if there ever was one.
This year we had a special guest in our virtual midst—ISJL Education Director Rachel Stern, our old boss. We all spent over an hour talking and laughing and reminiscing about our collective time together. When we hung up, close to 11:00pm EST, we agreed that we would have to try and gather on our computer screens every Jewish holiday. And I know that it will really happen.
This virtual candle lighting—a symbol of unity, of community, of family—is a tradition that I can see continuing forever. The ISJL Education Fellowship fosters and nurtures continued relationships like these. Friendships that sustain themselves long after we go on our last community visit. I never could have imagined the power and the importance of these friendships in my life, of these Fellows in my family. Lighting the candles together once a year is a gift that I cherish, a gift that constantly reminds me of how lucky we are, and how brightly and proudly we shine our Fellow lights.
The hashtag #OnceAFellowAlwaysAFellow has become a joke among all Fellows. You use it whenever something magical and ridiculous converges, or when you have a Fellow reunion, or when you listen to things like "Be A Light" on repeat in your office. It started as something that was just sort of a joke, but as our candle lighting tradition reminds us, it's not really a joke—it's true.
Once a Fellow, Always a Fellow.
For that, I am thankful—this Hanukkah, and every Hanukkah to come.

Yes, You Can Be In Two Places At Once
Recently, Southern Sunday School students did a program on Jewish heroes. The students were having a great time, collaborating, playing games—all while hundreds of miles apart.
For the Global Day of Jewish Learning, we gathered students and teachers in Pinehurst, North Carolina, for this program on Jewish heroes. More students than you'd usually find in the Pinehurst classroom showed up—because half of our participants weren't in Pinehurst. They weren't even in North Carolina. They were actually in Greenville, South Carolina, three and a half hours away!
Stop the presses. Has the ISJL figured out how to split Education Fellows like me into two pieces, so that we can be in two different cities at once? Have we discovered the secret to Hermione Granger's famous time-turner from the Harry Potter books?
Unfortunately, we are still working on the time-turner. But what we have mastered is an important 21st century skill – the art of effective, engaging interactive video calling.
We use video calling technology almost every day from our office in Jackson, Mississippi. Whether communicating with staff members working in other cities or with Bar/Bat Mitzvah students located around our region, doing important Jewish work via Skype or Google Hangout is a regular part of day-to-day work at the ISJL. So, when Sandhills Jewish Congregation in Pinehurst and Congregation Beth Israel in Greenville expressed interest in setting up a program, where their students could meet (virtually), I was eager to make it happen.
Our program was entitled the "Jewish Olympics" and it was very similar to a Maccabiah experience that might occur at Jewish camp. There were a variety of games that we played with and against one another, from Jewpardy (Jewish-themed Jeopardy) to a Play-doh sculpture contest. The ruach (spirit) of all the teams, across both cities and through our screens, was quite impressive.
One of the highlights of the program was our Jewish Heroes scavenger hunt. For this scavenger hunt, there were images of 20 Jewish Heroes hidden in the two congregations, with short biographies of their achievements included so that the kids could learn a bit about them. Half of the images were hidden in Beth Israel (Greenville) and half were at SJC (Pinehurst). The blue team in Greenville, for example, had to find all ten of their heroes, while their teammates in Pinehurst, had to find all ten of theirs. On the back of each clue was a letter, and upon finding all the clues, in both cities the teams had to work with their teammates in the other city via Skype to put the letters together and decode a secret message.
The message? "We made new Jewish friends."
We wrapped up with "Closing Ceremonies" and with students in Greenville performing "Wherever You Go, There's Always Someone Jewish" for the students in Pinehurst.
In years to come, I think it is safe to say that technology will help us innovate entirely new ways of educating Jewish students. But we should not assume that such innovating can only occur in the future. We are already living in a time when it is possible to program across virtually any geographical boundary using applications available for free . What this means for the future of Jewish education is still an open-ended question. But with some imagination and experimentation, we just might find answers to that question that fundamentally re-shape and re-create our Jewish future.

An End to Appointment Judaism?
I am an avid television watcher, to say the least. My weekly repertoire includes everything from sports and the news, to reality TV and cop shows—I'm an equal opportunity viewer. Right now, I keep up with about 25 shows (which, even to me, seems insane).
In the recent past, my packed schedule might seem daunting. It would mean staying in most nights, planted in front of the TV, ignoring plans and friends. Now, with a few taps on my iPad screen and a Wi-Fi signal, I can stream whatever I missed, at my own convenience. Thanks to online streaming services and network television websites, almost every episode of every program is readily accessible.
So, what does this have to do with Judaism?
Synagogues across the country are live-streaming their services. With a simple google search for "stream Shabbat," one can access Shabbat services from congregations across the country and across the movements. Not only can folks click on and stream, but also some congregations even store services in online archives, to be accessed for on-demand play.
Television streaming has been heralded as the end of appointment television—could streaming services mean the end of appointment Judaism?
Before I moved to the South and started working full time, I attended Shabbat services with frequency. This was important to me, especially considering I'm part of the 20-35 year old demographic seemingly absent from many congregational Jewish communities. Getting to shul was easy in Columbus, Ohio—and I had options. That's not the case, though, in many of the communities the ISJL serves.
Rest assured, Jewish communities are alive and well in the South (and some are even live-streaming their services!), but often, there is only one option for a synagogue in town. Whereas folks in cities with larger Jewish populations can essentially congregation shop, picking a rabbi and worship style in tune with their own preferences, it's not always an option in smaller, rural towns.
Enter streaming.
No Conservative service in your town? You can stream it. Your friend's son is a rabbi in Detroit? You can stream it. You can't spend the hour in the car it would take to get to temple? Too tired? Can't find a babysitter? Stream. Stream. Stream.
I, for one, love the entryways to Jewish practice that online streaming provides. It makes religious observance accessible to people who might otherwise not hear Torah chanted or find a min'yan to say Kaddish. But I understand the hesitation some might feel before jumping on board.
I think a primary concern is that worshipers will replace live attendance with online streaming—synagogues, especially those small in size, will close. The sense of community built in Hebrew school classes, sisterhood meetings, and oneg Shabbats will dwindle. Just as appointment TV has fallen by the wayside, so too will congregational Judaism. That narrative makes sense to me, until I hear stories from people actually streaming services.
A friend of mine is a recent college graduate. When he left home for college, he moved across the country. After graduating and taking a job, he, again, moved. This Yom Kippur, he attended Kol Nidrei services at the local congregation. On Yom Kippur, he spent the day streaming services from across the United States. One from home, one from school—he was able to stay connected to the communities that instilled in him the importance of Jewish practice and tradition without eschewing the local congregation.
In the South, it's sometimes hard to find one Jewish service. We now have access to an entire world of options, and we don't have to disengage in our own communities to access them. Streaming Judaism won't replace the importance of connections, in person, but can be a wonderful supplement to traditional appointment Judaism, offering even more opportunities for Jewish life. And that's an incredible thing.

See how to make the ultimate summer steak and tomato-sauce dish.
In this video, you'll see how to make classic steak pizzaiola. Chef John uses beef tenderloin medallions for this dish and fresh, sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes. You can use pretty much any cut of steak, but fresh ripe tomatoes are the real key here. The steaks get a quick high-heat searing, then it's all about the sauce. Mushrooms sauté with sweet peppers and garlic before bathing in a splash of white wine. Then it's time for those delicious diced fresh tomatoes. (See Chef John demo how to prepare the diced tomatoes.) A little balsamic vinegar helps balance the sweetness and acidity and deepens the sauce's color. Warm the steaks in the tomato sauce, and you're ready for the ultimate summer steak dish. Chef John takes it to new heights by serving it on toast and a slice of mozzarella. Watch the video, then get the recipe for Chef John's Steak Pizzaiola. Holy moly, that's good! See more Chef John videos >>
