* 'National Great American Pot Pie Day'. . Created in 2002 by Marie
Callender’s.
- From Wikipedia (Pot pie):
'A pot pie is a type of meat pie with a top crust, generally made of flaky
pastry.
In the Pennsylvania Dutch region, some people make a dish called bot boi
(or bott boi) by Deitsch-speaking natives. Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie is a
stew and has no pastry'.
[The Hankster says] My favorite would be Chicken Pot Pie. As for me, the crust is more important than the filling.
* 'National Snack Stick Day'. . By the Klement Sausage Company.
[The Hankster says] My favorite as a kid was Slim Jim's.

* 'Innergize Day'.
Day after the Autumn Equinox by .
[The Hankster says] Just in time to slow down for the fall. Get that energy expended now.
* 'National Checkers/Dogs in Politics Day'.
Remembers the day in 1952 that then Vice Presidential candidate Richard
Nixon gave a TV speech defending allegations of political funds wrongdoing.
In that speech he said that no matter what he would keep a dog named
Checkers, received as a gift, that his kids had named. This psychological
ploy gained him approval and a place on the ballot. See more in the history
section for 1952.
[The Hankster says] You can fool some of the people....
* 'Native American Day'.
br />Fourth Friday in September, in California. It is the second Monday in
October in South Dakota ( they do not celebrate Columbus Day Day) and the fourth
Monday in September in Tennessee.
- From Wikipedia (Native American Day):
'Native American Day is a holiday in the U.S. states of California and
South Dakota. It honors Native American cultures and contributions to their
respective states and the United States. The state of Tennessee observes a
similar American Indian Day each year.
California: In 1968, Governor Ronald Reagan signed a resolution calling for
a holiday called American Indian Day, to be held the Fourth Friday in
September. In 1998, the California Assembly passed AB 1953, which made
Native American Day an official state holiday, observed annually on the
fourth Friday in September.
South Dakota: In 1989, the South Dakota legislature unanimously passed
legislation proposed by Governor George S. Mickelson to proclaim 1990 as
the Year of Reconciliation between Native Americans and whites, to change
Columbus Day to Native American Day and to make Martin Luther King's
birthday into a state holiday. Since 1990, the second Monday in October has
been celebrated as Native American Day in South Dakota. South Dakota is the
only state to practice non-observance of the federal holiday of Columbus
Day by recognizing Native American Day.
Tennesse: In 1994 the state General Assembly established the fourth Monday
in September of each year to be especially observed in Tennessee as
American Indian Day (TCA 15-2-106 ), to recognize the contributions of
American Indians with suitable ceremony and fellowship designed to promote
greater understanding and brotherhood between American Indians and the
non-Indian people of the state of Tennessee'.

* 'Restless Legs Awareness Day'. On the birthday of Professor Karl-Axel
Ekborn (1907) who was the first to describe this condition which is
characterized by urges to move the legs even when at rest. To date, there
is still no known cause for the condition.
- From Wikipedia (Restless legs syndrome):
'Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes a strong urge to
move one's legs. There is often an unpleasant feeling in the legs that
improves somewhat with moving them. Occasionally the arms may also be
affected. The feelings generally happen when at rest and therefore can make
it hard to sleep. Due to the disturbance in sleep people may have daytime
sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. Additionally,
many have limb twitching during sleep.
Risk factors for RLS include low iron levels, kidney failure, Parkinson
disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and pregnancy. A number of
medications may also trigger the disorder including antidepressants,
antipsychotics, antihistamines, and calcium channel blockers. There are two
main types: one that starts before 45 years of age and another which starts
after 45 years of age. The one that starts early tends to run in families
and gets worse over time. The one that starts later tends to start suddenly
but not get worse. Diagnosis is generally based on a person's symptoms
after ruling out other potential causes.
Restless leg syndrome may resolve if the underlying problem is dealt with.
Otherwise treatment includes lifestyle changes and medication. Lifestyle
changes that may help include stopping alcohol and tobacco and sleep
hygiene. Medications used include levodopa or a dopamine agonist such as
pramipexole. RLS affects an estimated 2.5–15% of the American population.
Females are more commonly affected than males and it becomes more common
with age'.
* 'Bright Pink Lipstick Day'. In Australia. The focus is on a discussion of
your family' health history.
* 'Jeans for Genes'. In Great Britain.
- From Wikipedia (Jeans for Genes):
'Jeans for Genes Day is a national fund-raiser held in Australia and the
United Kingdom. The two fund-raisers are not associated with one another
and raise money for different institutes.
Jeans for Genes (United Kingdom) is a national children’s charity, which
raises money for the care of children and families who are affected by
genetic disorders. Jeans for Genes Day is run by the UK charity Genetic
Disorders UK.
Genetic disorders affect 1 in 25 people born in the UK and include
conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia and muscular
dystrophy. Their associated health problems mean that genetic disorders are
the biggest cause of death of children aged 14 years and under in the UK.
The charity’s main fund-raising event is Jeans for Genes Day which takes
place on Friday 19 September in 2014. Millions of people across the UK make
a small donation to wear their jeans to work and to school. Supporters are
able to register for a free fund-raising pack.
The money raised is distributed through the Jeans for Genes Grant Programme
for care services for children and information and support for families.
Funding from the appeal was key in the development of gene therapy at the
UCL Institute of Child Health at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London,
which has since cured ten children of the life-threatening condition
X-linked severe combined immune deficiency X-SCID or ‘baby in the bubble’
syndrome.
The charity also aims to raise awareness and understanding of genetics and
what it means to live with a genetic disorder. It provides educational
materials for schools through a dedicated website called Genes Are Us'.

* 'In 1909, The novel 'The Phantom of the Opera', by Gaston Leroux, is
first published. .
- From Wikipedia: 'The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra)
is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a
serialisation in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909, to January 8, 1910. It
was published in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte. The
novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the
nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former
ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der
Freischütz. It has been successfully adapted into various stage and film
adaptations, most notable of which are the 1925 film depiction featuring
Lon Chaney and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.
Opera singer Christine triumphs at the gala on the night of the old
managers' retirement. Her old childhood friend, Raoul, hears her sing and
recalls his love for Christine. At this time, there are rumors of a phantom
living at the Opera and he makes himself known to the managers through
letters and malevolent acts. Some time after the gala, the Paris Opera
performs Faust, with the prima donna Carlotta playing the lead, against the
Phantom's wishes. During the performance, Carlotta loses her voice and the
grand chandelier plummets into the audience.
Christine is kidnapped by the phantom and is taken to his home in the
cellars of the Opera where he identifies himself as Erik. He plans to keep
her there for a few days, hoping she will come to love him. But she causes
Erik to change his plans when she unmasks him and, to the horror of both,
beholds his noseless, lipless, sunken-eyed face which resembles a skull
dried up by the centuries, covered in yellowed dead flesh. Fearing that she
will leave him, he decides to keep her with him forever, but when Christine
requests release after two weeks, he agrees on condition that she wear his
ring and be faithful to him.
On the roof of the opera house, Christine tells Raoul that Erik abducted
her. Raoul promises to take Christine away to a place where Erik can never
find her. Raoul tells Christine he shall act on his promise the next day,
to which Christine agrees. She, however, has pity for Erik and will not go
until she has sung a song for him one last time. Neither is aware that Erik
has been listening to their conversation and that he has become extremely
jealous.
The following night, Erik kidnaps Christine during a production of Faust
and tries to force Christine to marry him. He states that if she refuses,
he will use explosives (which he has planted in the cellars) to destroy the
entire opera house. Christine refuses, until she realizes that Erik learned
of Raoul's attempt to rescue her and has trapped Raoul in a hot torture
chamber (along with the Persian, an old acquaintance of Erik who was going
to help Raoul). To save them and the people above in the Opera, Christine
agrees to marry Erik. Erik initially tries to drown Raoul and the Persian,
using the water which would have been used to douse the explosives. But
Christine begs and offers to be his living bride, promising him not to kill
herself after becoming his bride, as she had both contemplated and
attempted earlier in the novel. Erik eventually rescues Raoul and the
Persian from his torture chamber. When Erik is alone with Christine, he
lifts his mask to kiss her on her forehead, and is given a kiss back. Erik
reveals that he has never received a kiss (not even from his own mother)
nor has been allowed to give one and is overcome with emotion. He and
Christine then cry together and their tears mingle Erik later expresses
that he has never felt so close to another human being.
Erik allows the Persian and Raoul to escape, though not before making
Christine promise that she will visit him on his death day, and return the
gold ring he gave her. He also makes the Persian promise that afterwards he
will go to the newspaper and report his death, as he will die soon and will
die of love Indeed, some time later Christine returns to Erik's lair,
buries him somewhere he'll never be found (by Erik's request) and returns
the gold ring. Afterwards, a local newspaper runs the simple note: Erik is
dead'.
* 'In 1846, Astronomers Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier, John Couch Adams and
Johann Gottfried Galle collaborate on the discovery of Neptune. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the
Sun in the Solar System. In the Solar System, it is the fourth-largest
planet by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant
planet. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive
than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth and slightly
larger than Neptune. Neptune orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an
average distance of 30.1 astronomical units (4.50×109 km). It is named
after the Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol, a stylised
version of the god Neptune's trident.
Some of the earliest recorded observations ever made through a telescope,
Galileo's drawings on 28 December 1612 and 27 January 1613, contain plotted
points that match up with what is now known to be the position of Neptune.
On both occasions, Galileo seems to have mistaken Neptune for a fixed star
when it appeared close—in conjunction—to Jupiter in the night sky hence, he
is not credited with Neptune's discovery. At his first observation in
December 1612, Neptune was almost stationary in the sky because it had just
turned retrograde that day. This apparent backward motion is created when
Earth's orbit takes it past an outer planet. Because Neptune was only
beginning its yearly retrograde cycle, the motion of the planet was far too
slight to be detected with Galileo's small telescope. In July 2009,
University of Melbourne physicist David Jamieson announced new evidence
suggesting that Galileo was at least aware that the 'star' he had observed
had moved relative to the fixed stars.
In 1821, Alexis Bouvard published astronomical tables of the orbit of
Neptune's neighbour Uranus. Subsequent observations revealed substantial
deviations from the tables, leading Bouvard to hypothesise that an unknown
body was perturbing the orbit through gravitational interaction. In 1843,
John Couch Adams began work on the orbit of Uranus using the data he had.
Via Cambridge Observatory director James Challis, he requested extra data
from Sir George Airy, the Astronomer Royal, who supplied it in February
1844. Adams continued to work in 1845–46 and produced several different
estimates of a new planet.
In 1845–46, Urbain Le Verrier, independently of Adams, developed his own
calculations but aroused no enthusiasm in his compatriots. In June 1846,
upon seeing Le Verrier's first published estimate of the planet's longitude
and its similarity to Adams's estimate, Airy persuaded Challis to search
for the planet. Challis vainly scoured the sky throughout August and
September.
Meanwhile, Le Verrier by letter urged Berlin Observatory astronomer Johann
Gottfried Galle to search with the observatory's refractor. Heinrich
d'Arrest, a student at the observatory, suggested to Galle that they could
compare a recently drawn chart of the sky in the region of Le Verrier's
predicted location with the current sky to seek the displacement
characteristic of a planet, as opposed to a fixed star. On the evening of
23 September 1846, the day Galle received the letter, he discovered Neptune
within 1° of where Le Verrier had predicted it to be, about 12° from Adams'
prediction. Challis later realised that he had observed the planet twice,
on 4 and 12 August, but did not recognise it as a planet because he lacked
an up-to-date star map and was distracted by his concurrent work on comet
observations.
In the wake of the discovery, there was much nationalistic rivalry between
the French and the British over who deserved credit for the discovery.
Eventually, an international consensus emerged that both Le Verrier and
Adams jointly deserved credit. Since 1966, Dennis Rawlins has questioned
the credibility of Adams's claim to co-discovery, and the issue was
re-evaluated by historians with the return in 1998 of the Neptune papers
(historical documents) to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. After reviewing
the documents, they suggest that Adams does not deserve equal credit with
Le Verrier for the discovery of Neptune. That credit belongs only to the
person who succeeded both in predicting the planet's place and in
convincing astronomers to search for it'.
* 'In 1952, Richard Nixon gives his famous 'Checkers speech'. .
- From Wikipedia: 'The Checkers speech or Fund speech was an address made
on September 23, 1952, by the Republican candidate for vice president of
the United States, California Senator Richard Nixon. Nixon had been accused
of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse
him for his political expenses. With his place on the Republican ticket in
doubt, he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address
in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the
audience to contact the Republican National Committee (RNC) to tell it
whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that
regardless of what anyone said, he intended to keep one gift: a
black-and-white dog who had been named Checkers by the Nixon children, thus
giving the address its popular name.
Nixon, as he related in his address, came from a family of moderate means,
and had spent much of his time after law school either in the military,
campaigning for office, or serving in Congress. After his successful 1950
Senate campaign, Nixon's backers continued to raise money to finance his
political activities. These contributions went to reimburse him for travel
costs, postage for political mailings which he did not have franked, and
similar expenses. Such a fund was not illegal at the time, but as Nixon had
made a point of attacking government corruption, it exposed him to charges
he might be giving special favors to the contributors.
The press became aware of the fund in September 1952, two months after
Nixon's selection as General Dwight D. Eisenhower's running mate. Within a
few days, the story grew until the controversy threatened Nixon's place on
the ticket. In an attempt to turn the tide of public opinion, Nixon broke
off a whistle-stop tour of the West Coast to fly to Los Angeles to make a
television and radio broadcast to the nation the $75,000 to buy the
television time was raised by the RNC. The idea for the Checkers reference
came from Franklin Roosevelt's Fala speech—given eight years to the day
before Nixon's address—in which Roosevelt mocked Republican claims that he
had sent a destroyer to fetch his dog, Fala, when the dog was supposedly
left behind in the Aleutian Islands.
Nixon's speech was seen or heard by about 60 million Americans, including
the largest television audience to that time, and led to an outpouring of
public support. A huge majority of the millions of telegrams and phone
calls received by the RNC and other political offices supported Nixon. He
was retained on the ticket, which then swept to victory weeks later in
November 1952. The Checkers speech was an early example of a politician
using television to appeal directly to the electorate, but has since
sometimes been mocked or denigrated. Checkers speech has come more
generally to mean any emotional speech by a politician'.
* 'In The TV series Circus Boy (original release) is released. It starred
future Monkey, Micky Dolenz. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Circus Boy is an American action/adventure/drama series
that aired in prime time on NBC, and then on ABC, from 1956 to 1958. It was
then rerun by NBC on Saturday mornings, from 1958 to 1960.
Set in the late 1890s, the title of the series refers to a boy named Corky.
After his parents, The Flying Falcons, were killed in a trapeze accident,
young Corky (Micky Dolenz – billed at the time as Mickey Braddock) was
adopted by Joey the Clown (Noah Beery, Jr.), and the whole Burke and Walsh
Circus family.
The young boy quickly found a role with the circus as water boy to Bimbo, a
baby elephant whom Corky would come to consider his pet. Riding Bimbo's
back, Corky dealt with adolescent problems, and helped the show's adults
including Joey, owner/promoter Big Tim Champion (Robert Lowery). and head
canvasman Pete (Guinn Williams), keep the circus successful as the
traveling show moved from town to town each week.
Outside of an elephant being the animal companion, the series was similar
to popular boy and his dog shows of the time, such as Lassie/Jeff's Collie,
and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin'.
* 'In 1957,The song, That'll Be the Day, by Buddy Holly and the Crickets
reaches #1. .
- From Wikipedia: 'That'll Be the Day is a song written by Buddy Holly and
Jerry Allison. It was first recorded by Buddy Holly and the Three Tunes in
1956 and was re-recorded in 1957 by Holly and his new band, the Crickets.
The 1957 recording achieved widespread success. Holly's producer, Norman
Petty, was credited as a co-writer, although he did not contribute to the
composition.
Cover versions have been recorded by various artists. It was the first song
recorded (as a demonstration disc) by the Quarrymen, the skiffle group that
evolved into the Beatles.
The 1957 recording was certified gold (for over a million US sales) by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1969. It was inducted
into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. It was placed in the National
Recording Registry, a list of sound recordings that are culturally,
historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in
the United States, in 2005'.

informal public polls. The term floral emblem, which refers to flowers
specifically, is primarily used in Australia and Canada. In the United
States, the term state flower is more often used.

* 'In 2002, The first public version of the web browser Mozilla 'Firefox'
('Phoenix 0.1') is released. .
- From Wikipedia: 'Mozilla Firefox (or simply Firefox) is a free and
open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its
subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox is available for Windows, OS X
and Linux operating systems, with its mobile versions available for
Android, and Firefox OS where all of these versions use the Gecko layout
engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web
standards. An additional version, Firefox for iOS, was released in late
2015, but this version doesn't use Gecko due to Apple's restrictions
limiting third-party web browsers to the WebKit-based layout engine built
into iOS.
Firefox was created in 2002, under the name Phoenix by the Mozilla
community members who wanted a standalone browser rather than the Mozilla
Application Suite bundle. Even during its beta phase, Firefox proved to be
popular with its testers and was praised for its speed, security and
add-ons compared to Microsoft's then-dominant Internet Explorer 6. Firefox
was released in November 2004, and was highly successful with 60 million
downloads within nine months, which was the first time that Internet
Explorer's dominance was challenged. Firefox is considered the spiritual
successor of Netscape Navigator, as the Mozilla community was created by
Netscape in 1998 before their acquisition by AOL.
Firefox usage grew to a peak of 32% at the end of 2009, temporarily making
version 3.5 the world's most popular browser. Usage then declined in
competition with Chrome: As of January 2016, Firefox has between 9% and 16%
of worldwide usage as a desktop browser, making it the second most popular
web browser. Firefox is still the most popular browser in Cuba, Eritrea and
Germany, with 85.93% and 79.39% and 38.36%, of the market share,
respectively. It is also the most popular desktop browser in many other
African countries. According to Mozilla, as of December 2014 there were
half a billion Firefox users around the world. With Internet Explorer
declining, Firefox reached second place in February 2016, as a desktop
browser'.

September is:
September origin (from Wikipedia): Originally September (Latin septem, "seven") was the seventh of ten months on the oldest known Roman calendar.
September in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of March in the Southern Hemisphere.
After the calendar reform that added January and February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform, which added a day.
