Factor VII deficiency is an inherited disorder in which a lack (deficiency) of plasma protein factor VII leads to abnormal bleeding.
Extrinsic factor deficiency
When you bleed, the body launches a series of reactions that help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation or clotting factors. When one or more of these clotting factors are missing, there is usually a higher chance of bleeding.
This disorder occurs when the body does not have enough factor VII, an important blood clotting protein. Most often a deficiency of factor VII is caused by:
It is very rare to be born with factor VII deficiency that is due to the body's inability to make working factor VII.
Diagnosing a bleeding disorder is important so that the doctor can take extra care if you need surgery, and can test or warn other family members who might be affected.
Patients can control bleeding episodes by receiving normal plasma, concentrates of factor VII, or genetically produced (recombinant) factor VII through a vein (intravenous). People need frequent treatment during bleeding episodes because factor VII does not last for long inside the body. A form of factor VII called NovoSeven can also be used.
If a lack of vitamin K is causing the disorder, you can take vitamin K by mouth, through injections under the skin, or through a vein (intravenously).
You can often help the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See hemophilia - resources
The outcome can be good with proper treatment.
This is a life-long disorder if you get it from your parents. If it is caused by liver disease, the outcome depends on how well your liver problem can be treated.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have severe, unexplained bleeding.
Genetic counseling may be helpful for disorders that start at birth (congenital). Taking vitamin K can help if you have a vitamin K deficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Extended chart selection
Frequently asked questions
Charts > Other methods
Which house system is the best to use?
House systems are a matter of the personal taste of the Astrologer. We cannot give advice on this choice. There is no right or wrong. It's more a matter of experience with different systems.
Can I generate a horoscope using the sidereal zodiac?
Yes, you can. Please, choose the zodiac in the respective drop-down menu in the Extended Chart Selection. We have three types of sidereal zodiac: Fagan/Bradley and Hindu/Lahiri (both geocentric), and heliocentric.
Could you add a new chart technique to the extended chart selection?
No, we do not tend to add new, specialised techniques. Astrodienst's free online service is targeted at a wide audience of lay persons interested in astrology, and at the basic needs of serious astrology students. The purpose of Astrodienst's web services is not to fulfill the needs of technically oriented specialists who are interested in very rare astrological methods.
The selection of various chart types available at Astrodienst reflect those astrological techniques which have been in use in German-speaking countries during and after 1980, and they reflect Dr. Treindl's own interest in astrological studies. He programmed the types of charts which the customers of Astrodienst's chart services requested and paid for in the 1980ies (before good astrological PC software existed), and in addition those techniques which either interested him personally, or some of his close astrological friends.
We are aware that there exist many other techniques which we do not offer. Among these are 'precession corrected' (should be called precession falsified) calculations, and converse progressions, which are not in use in central Europe. Astrodienst is not expanding its spread of technical charts at this time - we are concentrating on other services right now.
Please do not be disappointed when the general answer to such requests is a simple 'no'. Sometimes there are some hidden treasures in our rich treasure chest, which can be of use. Just take a stroll around.
There are also excellent software programs on the market which fulfill most of the technical needs an experienced astrologer may have, for example Kepler by Cosmic Patterns, and Solar Fire. We highly recommend that experienced astrologers acquire such software for their own PC. Macintosh users might want to consult the page of
Kairon software
for free astrological software.
Do you offer converse progression charts?
For 'converse' secondary progressions, use negative age with offset from your birth date. In extended chart selection, select 'progressed chart' and, if you are, for example, born in 1950 and want converse progressions for 2002, the age is 52. Using negative age, you ought to enter the year 1898 as 'start date'
Primary directions are easily found here:
Free Horoscopes -> extended chart selection -> group Astrodienst special -> chart type: 3-dimensional chart with primary directions for 30 years -> additional data tables
This includes converse primary directions by default. Below the chart drawing, there is a link for 'special options' for various primary keys and other features.
Do you offer precession correction in transits or solar return charts?
No we don't. Because we do not consider the method logical and consistent in itself.
Tropical astrology uses a frame of reference which moves with the rhythm of the Sun-Moon-Earth system. The technique of "precession correction" breaks this system trying to introduce a notion of "natal birth marks in absolute space". This is false on several levels:
The reference frame it introduces is not absolute, it translates and rotates with the (fast) movement of the solar system within the galaxis. A transiting planet does never return to the point in absolute space where it once was.
The concept of "return charts" and of transits altogether is - on a deeper level - a symbolic concept rather than a physical concept. It should therefore be applied in a consistent symbolic system and not in an inconsistent potpourri of systems.
If you want to get around precession, we recommend to do "sidereal" astrology with one of its unprecessed reference frames. We don't think it makes sense to mix incompatible systems.
Where do I find Antiscia?
For example, in the additional data tables for chart drawing styles 'Munich Rhythms' or 'Studer'.

Football: betting tips on who the favourites are for this season's Premiership
This is really proving to be an unusual season of Premiership football, but that is not so unexpected, given the major changes that have occurred at many of the biggest clubs. The loss of Sir Alex Ferguson was expected to be earth shattering for Manchester United (16/1), and they have definitely found the transition to the David Moyes era difficult. Chelsea (9/2) are currently going through a period that has seen them labelled a 'crisis club', but the real crisis may be for those wanting to make bets on who will win the league – because it is almost impossible to establish which side is the best bet.
Manchester City (23/20) probably have the strongest overall squad, as well as the best balance of quality within it, with Chelsea short up front and United in the centre of midfield and defence. However with new manager Manuel Pellegrini, new players and a new style of play, City are in transition as well, and are proving just as vulnerable this season – especially away from the Etihad Stadium. This leaves Arsenal (9/2) as the most consistent, but lacking sufficient numbers to deal with injuries, and all this is why the period over December and January is so important from a football betting perspective. This encompasses the heavy festive fixture list and the transfer window, after which things should be clearer, which is where an online casino favourite like Soccer Safari can be ideal at JackpotCity.co.uk/mobile-casino
This slot based upon football represents the ideal way to bet on football until then, although you may find the 'animals playing World Cup' football theme is so much fun you don't bother with the title gamble. Even if you are able to tear yourself away from the languid lions and bludgeoning buffalo trying to beat the leaping leopards in goal, the $8000 jackpot is way more than most people can hope to win by betting on the winner of the Premiership title. Of course there is always the option of mixing the two, especially as mobile casino apps let you play on a phone – so you can even play Soccer Safari when you are at the match.

Can Chinese Blood Pressure Medicine and Procedures Treat Hypertension?
According to the western scientific perception of hypertension (high blood pressure) the disorder is considered to be idiopathic (without any known cause). It is however often associated with obesity, advanced age, high cholesterol, alcohol abuse and smoking. The first line of treatment for idiopathic (primary) hypertension is usually with natural remedies for high blood pressure. Underlying conditions like kidney disease, pregnancy, abnormalities in blood vessels and endocrinal disorders may cause secondary high blood pressure. Secondary hypertension is usually treated with conventional high blood pressure medications like diuretics, ACE inhibitors and other medicines.
Alternative therapies provide another mode of treatment and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can prove to be a healthy alternative to allopathic drugs.
TCM perceives the condition of high blood pressure as a problem associated with the circulation of the vital energy, called Qi. TCM does not attribute hypertension to pathology. The treatment is based on the theories of yin and yang and blocking of the vital energy Qi.
Roots of a Chinese herb called danshen are used to treat high blood pressure. The Latin name of the herb is salvia miltiorrhiza and it is also known as Red Sage, Chinese Sage, tan shen or dan shen. It is a perennial flowering plant that grows in the shade and is highly valued for its roots in TCM. TCM uses it for thinning and promoting blood flow in patients with hypertension. In Chinese medicine, it is also the first line of treatment for myocardial infarction and stroke, both of which are associated with hypertension.
Acupuncture, a procedure that is the mainstay of TCM in conjunction with herbs and diet control, is another alternative mode of treatment of hypertension. It focuses on identifying areas and points, called meridians, in the body. It is believed that these points are the areas where the flow of vital energy is blocked. As far as high blood pressure is concerned, these points are mostly found in the scalp and along the spine. An acupuncturist attempts to unblock this vital energy by sticking fine needles to treat hypertension.
Alternative medicines and conventional allopathic therapy have always been at loggerheads with each other. Science demands evidences based on extensive studies, research and trials whereas ancient therapies have nothing but anecdotal evidence to support the efficacy of their remedies, herbs and procedures. There are instances when conventional medicine has relented on its tough stand on production of eye witness accounts and confirmation by doctors but the debate refuses to end.
Considering that herbs normally do not have side effects and the acupuncturists have adopted scientifically approved methodology of using sterilized needles, there seems to be no harm is trying Chinese herbal or acupuncture treatments. However, it is highly recommended that a close watch be kept on blood pressure levels during and after treatment. Consistent high blood pressure can lead to extremely dangerous health conditions just as abnormally low levels also require immediate medical attention.

Craniotomy - discharge; Surgery - brain - discharge; Neurosurgery - discharge; Craniectomy - discharge; Stereotactic craniotomy - discharge; Stereotactic brain biopsy - discharge; Endoscopic craniotomy - discharge
Your doctor made an incision in your scalp and then drilled a small hole or removed a piece of your skull bone. Surgery was done to:
You have spent some time in the intensive care unit and some more time in a regular hospital room. You may be taking new medicines.
You will probably notice itchiness, pain, burning, and numbness along your surgical incision. You may hear a clicking sound where the bone is slowly re-attaching. Complete healing of the bone may take 6 to 12 months.
You may have headaches. You may notice this more with deep breathing, coughing, or being active. You may have less energy when you get home. This may last for several months.
You will probably have a small amount of fluid underneath the skin near your incision. The swelling may be worse in the morning when you wake up.
You may go home taking anti-seizure drugs.
If you had a brain aneurysm, you may also have other symptoms or problems.
Take only the pain relievers your doctor or nurse recommends. Aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), and some other drugs you may buy at the store may cause bleeding.
You can eat your normal diet, unless your doctor or nurse gives you a special diet.
Slowly increase your activity. Start out with walking. It may take up to 3 weeks to get all of your energy back.
Ask your doctor when you may begin driving. You may have sexual activity, but take it easy when you first get home.
Get enough rest. Sleep more at night, and take naps during the day. Also, take short rest periods during the day.
Keep the incision clean and dry.
You may wear a loose hat or turban on your head if you like. Do not use a wig for 3 to 4 weeks.
Do not put any creams or lotions on or around your incision. Do not use hair products with harsh chemicals (coloring, bleach, perms, or straighteners) for 3 to 4 weeks.
You may place ice wrapped in a towel where you had your surgery to help reduce swelling or pain. Never sleep on an ice pack.
Sleep with your head raised on several pillows. This will also help reduce swelling.
Call your doctor if you have:

Unveiling the Goldsmith's Mysterious Language
Sunday, May 19, 2013
3:00 pm
Ubaldo Vitali, a recent MacArthur fellow and fourth-generation silversmith, conservator, and scholar, presents the free lecture "Unveiling the Goldsmith's Mysterious Language," the final lecture in the four-part series "A Feast for the Eyes: Food, Porcelain, Silver, and Luxury Fabrics." Vitali discusses how the goldsmith has used art and science to communicate subliminally through objects. He explores silver made for churches, temples, and the home, identifying how select pieces have elevated the human spirit throughout history.
Vitali draws upon a deep knowledge of past and modern metalworking techniques to restore historical masterworks in silver and to create original works of art. As a conservator of works from medieval Europe to colonial America, he restores the aesthetic integrity of pieces distorted by damage or age. Based on his examination of written archival sources and material objects, he also preserves the physical and metallurgical evidence related to a piece's fabrication, thereby illuminating the original artisan's process and the social and intellectual underpinnings of his or her design. Vitali provides further insight into the design principles and execution processes of specific historic periods by creating replicas of antique objects.
"A Feast for the Eyes: Food, Porcelain, Silver, and Luxury Fabrics" celebrates sumptuously decorative, yet functional, works of art dating from the Middle Ages to today. Specialist lecturers trace the evolution of the elaborately set table from Medieval Europe to the Gilded Age in New York; explore our understanding of European and American silver from the past, and what certain objects tell us; place Meissen porcelain of the eighteenth century in its political context; and discuss the art of upholstering with Fortuny fabrics today. Each talk highlights the luxury and opulence of decorative art objects and explores their intriguing social contexts.

On Air Byron Cooke
Now Playing: Loading...
Voted International Radio Personality of the Year at the 2012 Worldwide Radio Summit, Byron Cooke is also an exotic dancer at the popular late night venue "Kittens". When he isn't keeping the Fifi and Jules show together, he is hosting Radar Late Nights with Ella Hooper across Australia and racking up the frequent flyer points visiting his son Zephyr in California. This protein packed, music library of a man is a familiar voice to the radio world, having worked on stations in London, Los Angeles and around Australia. His favourite animal is the swan.
Kerri is the glue that keeps the Fifi & Jules team together, she made her radio debut by lying on her resume, but she is yet to put a foot wrong (apart from that one time with a guest we don't speak about anymore). She makes sure that everything on the Fifi & Jules runs smoothly; Booking big name guests, co-ordinating massive events and typing roughly 3000 emails per day. When she isn't doing all that she can be found hanging with her gnarly surfer boyfriend, getting her nails done at fancy salons, perving on her hot female yoga instructor and bragging about "that time a Spice Girl emailed her"...
Leon will be our boss one day. He is young, Swedish and can burp louder than a 1-Ton TNT Bomb. When he isn't managing a boy band Hiding With Bears, he is busy chasing guests, researching stories, operating the phones and running to get a fruit flan for Fifi. He was conceived by Mr. + Mrs. Sjogren at a Hall + Oates Concert and has fake pecks. He is also single. Ladies, tweet him.
Marshy makes stuff sound good in his private audio laboratory. When he isn't checking the latest Apple rumour sites on his iPad or charging his iPhone 5, he is trawling through hours of audio that Jules recorded over the weekend, trying to improve the sound of Fifi singing, making amazing audio packages for the show and hiding microphones in meetings so you can hear everything. He refuses to look at anything non-Retina.
Online Oscar is the newest member of the Fifi & Jules team. He is the genius in charge of all of our web stuff, taking photos, shooting and editing videos, basically making sure it all looks awesome (Even if that means putting on a G-String and prancing around alongside Jules and Sophie). When Oscar isn't ruling the interwebs, he is walking his adorable chocolate Labrador Humphrey (see above) and being ridiculously tall. FUN FACT: Oscar is one of Jules Lund's cousins, which makes the Blurred Lines parody even creepier.

60 miles from home. Great academics. Great Greek life. Campus life and social scene couldn't be better.
Love the new Rec Center. Library is great place. Love campus life.
Beautiful campus. Very southern. Great sunsets on the plains.
Best rec center in the country. That is all I need to say.
The new student wellness building is awesome - ways to work out for everyone! The engineering program is very challenging - classes require a lot of studying but the school offers free tutoring.

Auburn University knows what it has to do to make the campus a pleasant place for students and faculty to attend. The campus is under constant revision. While that often means that a lot of construction is going on, students feel that it's worth it.
Most students rave about the facilities on campus, especially the athletic facilities. Some may feel that too much attention is being focused on the athletic facilities in Auburn. Auburn University is definitely dedicated to its varsity sports, so that is something to keep in mind. However, work is also being done to update a lot of the older, run-down buildings on campus so that the students can have a better place to learn.

"First of all this care says "Merry Christmas." Secondly it has room for our pictures. I used the green card as it made a better background color for our photos. It was perfect!"
"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"We personalized it by using a fun loving, energetic, whimsical, picture of our kids. They are older 15 and 24 so we needed something silly and fun, not traditional and stoic. With the simplicity of the message we can use this card for everyone!!!! Plus we were able to add a couple of lines for a message and then 3 more fun pictures on the back! We loved it!"
"I loved this card as soon as I first saw it - then after it was personalized and I received it in the mail, I loved it even more! Everything was how I expected it to be - from the colors to the paper to the cut of the paper - it looked great!"

Customer Reviews
When there's a problem...
Mostly a good app until there is a problem. Then, if it is anything other than a simple fix you might be told that the problem is on your iPad even though there is no testing of the iPad. Furthermore, tech support told me that Zinio's terms of agreement don't require that the app needs to work or that they need to troubleshoot in any detail. Be ready to hear contradictory statements such as "I'll ask my production department to look into it but they won't find any issues, the problem is your iPad." Enjoy it while it works, then go elsewhere. Better yet, go elsewhere first if possible.
No support. Still waiting.
I see that there was recent update. I wanted the app to work with magazines from a public library. App let me create an account on a Friday. By Saturday, the app was not letting me login. It said password was wrong. Another message said something about a server not working. I know the password is correct. I have not heard from zinio after requesting new password. Not so good!
Update: Received new password. Doesn't work! I've reinstalled. No change.
Well laid out but...
The visual layout of the magazines is great for reading on the run.
The problem I have had with the app is getting it to recognize issues of a given magazine have been fully downloaded. I see the 'download' icon on the index page even though I have downloaded that issue more than once.

dropped batons/passes at a standstill aren't my idea of fun and entertaining.
We won't even get into the increased injury potential with requirements for rapid changes in acceleration/deceleration.
A great idea when featuring teams who have had time to master the craft. Otherwise, IMHO, a disaster waiting to happen.
Imagine the hew and cry the first time an athlete of note yanked something while performing such a meaningless activity.

Pearl Method Problems and Kidney Disease Detection: How Many More Zariahs Will Go Undiagnosed, Untreated, or Unreported?
The autopsy report of Lydia Schatz indicated that she died from a condition called rhabdomyolosis, the rapid release of excessive amounts of broken muscle fragments into the bloodstream. Because the body cannot process such large amounts of these fragments, they end up lodging in the kidney, blocking the fine network of microscopic tubules that filter dissolved waste products from the blood and turn it urine. When medical treatments fail to open up these blockages within the kidney created by the muscle fibers fragments, the tiny tubules die and do not regenerate.
Due to the severity of the spankings with [Michael Pearl's recommended] plumbing line, both Zariah and Lydia Schatz suffered renal failure because of rhabdomyolysis. Had Lydia survived, we may never have learned anything about the extensive injuries in both girls, and they may never have been diagnosed and treated. Other children who develop rhabdomyolosis may sustain kidney damage that is not severe enough to cause full renal failure symptoms. If extensive and chronic, this damage can develop into "insufficiency" of the kidney which does not produce immediate symptoms and can be detected through laboratory testing. We only know the details about both children because of the publicity surrounding Lydia's death, a matter of public record, but disease in children like Zariah will likely be missed because there may be no obvious, immediate symptoms.
Jocelyn Andersen reported on Blog Talk Radio on April 2, 2011 that she had been informed about another case of renal failure in a five year old girl within the Mennonite Community related to child abuse and the Pearl Method. Because individual States in the U.S. maintain their own Child Protective Service Agencies, prescribe different laws concerning child abuse, and limit the amount of information concerning child abuse cases because of privacy concerns, we may never learn the details about new cases of Pearl-related kidney disease unless it is reported by the families of the survivors.

I'm not much of a poster on here as mainly I just enjoy seeing the vast range of talent on here. This site is amazing as it's an unlimited resource of inspiration.
I work freelance within the UK and have done various flyers for club nights, designs for the centres of vinyl, backdrops, spray painting and so on. Been struggling with this for a few years now but have always wanted to enter the video game industry as a concept artist. I've read a few posts on here about entering the industry but am wondering what others opinions are on either my work and/or that type of work.
Finally got around to uploading a few of my sketchbooks though.
This sketchbook is mainly from last year.

Woah, great start man. The style doesn't really do it for me but there's no doubt these are pretty good.
Keep it up.
Portfolio | Blog | Sketchbook
Wow, that's quite a first art dump you have there!
The cartoony stuff looks pretty good overall, but the pieces where you seem to be attempting a higher degree of realism are showing some perspective issues, particularly in the heads and faces. You might want to work on those a bit.
Keep at it.
As the ego shrinks, so the spirit expands.
Cheers for the responses, always been having perspective issues.
Having a bash at digital painting though, the first two are from photos and the other is an experiment for a friend who's going to be printing t-shirts and hoodies. Only limited to 4 colours max though, looks like a bit of posterisation is inorder.
Okay, being extremely rubbish [or too busy, be it one or the other] I've only just got around to upload more sketchbook work.
Not all that interesting, just more anatomy stuff really, but any input anyone's got on my progress would be well recieved.
I quite enjoy working in biro as it doesn't leave much room for error, hence you can see where you're going wrong.
Again, sorry for the massive dump.
Still bashing on, feel that anatomy still needs work as well as everything else.
Practising arms and spelling.
Funktion One or STFU.
I believe your anatomy is ok man, its coming along nicely, you just need to tweak some things here and there, and it will be done!
You're already pushing yourself on the anatomy, so I believe soon you will improve even more. You could try doing an exercise that someone taugh me, that may help you with anatomy:
You go and draw a figure, from reference. Try to just do the general likework. Then, you try to draw this figure skeleton/muscles, trying to place the muscles in their correct place. This is a great exercise since it forces you to really understand where the muscles connect.
Well, anyway, lovely stuff man. I love the music influences in your work.
Keep it up!
Okay, thanks Carbono.
I've tried that before but it's weird trying to figure out what muscules are what on models as some photos are very decieving [could extra fat]. I'll have more attempts at at though and see how things go.
A few experiments for a flyer design I was working on.
pure eyecandy!
i love the more comic stuff, the expressions you give them are great!
keep goin on that anatomy and your faces.
Thanks Grafguy, must be my Manga influences
Faces of friends as they wanted a canvas done.
More facial references plus some breifs for tshirt designs.
More designs for the tshirts....
hey, thought id have a look at your sketchbook, like your stuff, my brother does some stuff similar to your style. well zbrush is a 3d aplication but it also has neat 2dfeatures (like the deco brush) its fun for experimentation, lots of possibilities. and if you struggled with 3d software, zbruhs migh tbe righ tfor you because it is 3d (well 2.5D) but its constructed differently and i think more intuitive for eople with little 3d-software knowledge. just give it a try you will like it.
Sketchbook (daily Oils):
Cheers, is he into his Manga then [and are you due to the Ranma avatar]? I've always been told my stuff looks very heavily Manga influenced. Never really intended, it just seems to develop that way.Originally Posted by Katzenminze
Will have a bash with zbrush and let you know how I get on.
ZBrush is an awesome tool for concepting etc, highly recommend you getting it, only, if you´re planning to do 3D animations or ingame art, you´d have to go for other applications such as Maya, 3D Studio Max or Blender even (freeware/open source ftw!)
Btw, nice sketchbook.. you´ve got an interesting style going on there, love your mechanical sketches.. good sense of perspective and lightning.. keep it up!
My SketchBook
--Wait, whut? --
Thanks Mossi, I take it you mean the 'interesting' as in different [the word kinda makes me paranoid].
I'm gonna view a fair few videos of zbrush first to see how complicated it is. I'm still a bit up and down about the whole video gaming thing, it was ambition for years until the university course I went on seemed to put software knowledge before art. I have been told though that the whole concept art thing [video game wise] is just a way for companies to steal your ideas when you apply.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm off to help do more artwork for a cider festival for the week. I'll post up the work when I'm back [although I don't think it'll be that relevent to the world of concept art], it'll be on my website anyway.
For now some more practise with females. I sympathise Mossi, why are they so difficult [generally]? ;D
Here's a couple of boards I painted up for this cider festival. These two were for the club indoors for after dark.
The robot / cyborg was on an 8ft x 4ft board and the converted combine harvester was on two of these boards. Bit of a bugger keeping it level though.
Will post up more when I get round to editing the photos.
More anatomy work, slowly bt surely.

Here's a bit more of the work I did for the festival, but still need to gather more.
Thanks Dannelf, I've actually had a few people use my images as tattoos. Quite an honour. What do you mean by not blurring as much, do you mean I need to have more defined lines?
Cheers Littleman! A Cambridge man eh, a take it you're familiar wih the Clowncore crew / Dog shit crew then?
Glad you like all my machinery stuff, it's really nice getting the commission that kicks me up the arse to create them.
Hi Porg!
Man, it was a blast looking through your Sb! I love the way you fill up your pages! ( check out alabapsi's Sb, she likes to fill up her pages too!)
I agree with what the others have said..anatomy could use work, but your sketches have "life" and movement in them. Thats good!
keep posting and thanks for sharing!

Cheers Filipino, I'm trying hard on my anatomy but sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against a brickwall. Will check out alabapsi's sketchbook too.
Some preliminary sketches for some spray painting work I did.
Sketches of people on bikes and things and then a brief sketch of Bad Manners [band] for the festival flyer.
lovely stuff, I really like the black and white work it's really dynamic and powerful I tend to work in oils and in digital (photoshop) but to be honest I tend to use what I find and feel like using at the time, thanks for your comment

A few of my clients have had issues with the iRFR app lately. It has to do with Apple's latest update to iOS 5. The problem is that their devices are losing connection to their consoles every 10-15 seconds.
I discovered a solution based on a user having similar troubles with a Congo console.
On your iPod/iPhone, navigate to Settings>General>Reset and select and confirm 'Reset Network Settings'.
Your device will then reboot itself. After the reboot is complete, you will need to join your control network (wifi).
You should be able to connect and stay connected to your console at this point.
Hope this helps! Break a leg!
Thanks for the information but i can atest to the fact that does not work. I have tired that, I have tried turn on airplane mode, i have tried kicking it....I think the real solutions is to wait for the update from ETC....But if you get it to work lucky you....
Peace, Ed
That's a shame! It's worked for nearly a dozen devices in three different venues on my end. Is your console providing DHCP service to your device, or is the device on a static IP address? In my cases, the consoles are DHCP servers. Also keep in mind that this only applies to iOS 5.x.
I have had no problems with my iPhone 4/4s running iOS 5 and an Element console. I have found that the most basic, cheapest wifi router(Belkin is the one I have had luck with) works the best. I have found that the Cisco Valet routers won't let you set the subnet mask to the correct settings, so thats a problem. I had a client with the same problem and we resolved it by replacing the router with a cheap belkin and it stays connected all the time. I personally think the problem is that the iPhone is looking for data for all it's other services and since it can't find it on the lighting network, it bumps to the cell network and screws up the ip addresses. But no way to really confirm that.

just tried the reset again...still not working right. I am on ipad and not phone and is only on WiFi. In an earleir thread ETC is aware of the issue and working to resolve it..in the mean time i have a very nice portable game console....
I'm having the same problem! I set up the network with a netgear router yesterday and all was well, client software on the company ibook working and iPad irfr working fine, this morning i turned on the console and iPad and iPhone irfr are both dropping out constantly. I didn't get time to check the client console but I'm a little baffled.
Well, I guess I better recant. This fix only seemed to work for about a day. Please let us know if any of you discover anything.
I did like Braden says and it works.
Although it's a shame that one has to reboot for each session. Is there a update of the iRFR in sight?
Hi Braden,
We have 3 employees with the same problem after updating to ios5. We've tried every "fix" that has presented itself on the forums and no such luck. It's a shame to have "donated" $50 for a product that only works a fraction of the time. Please please please find a fix for this and update the app… Pretty please?
We are looking into this right now - as we do understand the urgency of the issue. Please stand by.
Thank you.
Anne Valentino
Eos Product Line Manager
I discovered today in two venues that disabling encryption on the wireless network eliminates this problem. Since this eliminates the use of a passphrase, the wireless access points have been set not to broadcast their name (SSID) so the networks cannot be used by anyone not authorized to connect to them.
Hope this helps both users and the folks at ETC.
In case anyone's still having issues with this:
My understanding is there was a wifi connectivity problem that existed in OS 5.0.0 and OS 5.0.1. I heard something about it being a problem that only existed with users of an OS5 device and Cisco (maybe Linksys as well) WAP. The problem is apparently fixed in OS5.1.0, but you'll need to completely reset your network settings in "Settings" (General -> Network -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings). That's a bit of a pain, because you'll need to re-enter any other network connections on your phone, too, but otherwise the problem remains.
I can confirm having experienced this problem using an iPhone 4S with OS5 an OS5.0.1 with a Cisco AiroNet 1140 WAP.
I can also confirm that when I upgrade to OS5.1.0, the problem remained until I reset my network settings and then re-entered the wifi authentication details and IP settings for the venue's lighting network. Since resetting the network settings, it has worked fine for me.
Hope that helps.
We released an update to the iRFR app last week, so if you updated then that will have sorted it out.
If you haven't let your iRFR app update yet, then we recommend you do so at your earliest convenience.
Keep on trying till you run out of cake.
ETC Field Service, London
Hi Richard,
Thanks. I do remember receiving that update, but I don't think it fixed my problem until I did the steps described with the router.
Maybe there were two factors contributing in my case.

The people, both admired and notorious, who matter when it comes to Calhoun County's fascinating history, will be remembered in spooky fashion Oct. 25 in the Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County's GhostWalk. Tours through the building will make for family fun in the spirit of Halloween.
A design for careers
With four new professors, steady enrollment and the remodeled Roundhouse building directly behind Hammond Hall, there's new life in the JSU art department this fall. Also, art exhibits throughout the year, focusing on different aspects of visual communication, contribute to students' future careers.
Margaret Poplin's one-woman show is one of these displays. The artist, illustrator and designer says she wants her students to understand how versatile they must become to make a living as an artist in a world of ever-changing technology.
"To sell your work, you must be a jack-of-all-trades and a master of some," she emphasizes. "And you must learn the skill of marketing your art."
Originally, Poplin wanted to be an illustrator for children's books. Her work, "The Fox," represents that period of her career journey. "The look has to be approachable," she said. And this friendly animal certainly looks as if he has a pleasant story to tell.
"The Canoe," a nature painting that appeared in Northeast Alabama Living magazine published by The Anniston Star, depicts a canoe on the Alabama River heading into a sunset. According to the artist, "the idea was taken from many references and pieced together in my mind as an image," she said.
An acrylic portrait of Poplin with her fiancé Erick Jaudon in art nouveau-style features a background with intertwining vines of gold, something she says she did for pure pleasure. Across the gallery, "The Saint" is a self-portrait painted for her students as a humorous demonstration on contrasts in skin tone.
But the standout piece at the exhibit's opening is the artist's interpretation of the Russian icon Saint George (of Saint George and the Dragon fame), which she created on a wood panel. Working from another depiction of the patron saint of England, Poplin made the hands more realistic and the eyes more innocent and knowing, she said. There are three layers in the portrait — ink and acrylic, oil washes and gold leaf.
"It's the most complex piece in the display," Poplin said. "It took me almost two week of solid work because of the drying process for each layer."
Poplin has been drawing since she was very young, since she could hold a pencil, she said. Her career has taken her down the path of advertising, creating web banners among other things, but she stresses the importance of learning the basic principles of art.
"I'm also a big supporter of lifelong learning," she added. Following her own advice, she has taught herself the art of leather-working.
Next up on the department's calendar is a faculty art exhibit Nov. 7-15.
A literary Halloween GhostWalk
You've heard of cemetery ghost walks. This Halloween, meet up with famous and frightening people from Calhoun County's past at the Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County from 6-9 p.m. Oct. 25. Guided tours through the library, starting in the children's department, will feature local actors representing faces that have been written about in Calhoun County — some celebrated and some very strange, but their lives and legends live on. Each tour will include 15 people, and refreshments will be served.
Junior League mystery coming soon
To check on the availability of tickets to "Dyed Blonde," written by Mike Stedham and performed by the Junior League of Calhoun County, visit www.jlanniston.org. The play will be presented Oct. 24-25 as a dinner theater at the Anniston Country Club. Tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $50 each. Cocktails and a silent auction begin at 6:30 p.m. and dinner and the show start at 7 p.m.

I have McLeod neuroacanthocytosis syndrome. I developed symptoms around age 14. What is the current treatment? I would also be interested in finding people doing research on this condition. I have ticks but I also have muscles that become tight and I believe this has something to do with the movements my body does without control. Is this typical? I also have complex seizures and grand mal seizures from this illness. Is this common? Also, my left side of my body only seems to be affected by loss of feeling or it has intense pain.

We stayed here in the middle of Jan and enjoyed it so much that we had to go back again- It's not the very cheapest of backpackers, but definitely worth every penny. We loved our room on the first stay - lovely double with own shower etc, and view of sea, and the second time we stayed in their new log cabin - it was heaven- great view, privacy, sea breaze..... But as well as all this, they have a lovely restaurant, and Reena, the cook, makes the best curries and the garden is just lushous.

STEELE CREEK — Palisades Episcopal School second-graders in Hailee Yurjevich's class have a lot to be thankful for. This year, the class of 12 – six girls and six boys – have written a book, including illustrations, to share some of their blessings.
"They had to go through the writing process," Yurjevich said.
The 7- and 8-year-olds each wrote about five things they are thankful for, she said. Their writing began by brainstorming using the four corners process, Yurjevich said, which requires them to have an opening, two details and closing.
"It was our first time doing four corners and it helped focus their thoughts really well," she said. "It lays details out in order."
She said the exercise also improved their use of grammar rules because "they knew it was going to be a published book."
The students then wrote drafts, did a revise, peer editing and finally published it Thursday during the weeklong process.
The class book includes typical features, including a hand-drawn cover and a dedication.
"This book is dedicated to: The residents at the Lake Wylie Retirement Home. We have enjoyed spending time with you this year! We are thankful for you."
Yurjevich said a copy of the book will be given to Lake Wylie Retirement & Assisted Living today during the class visit.
In the back is "About the Authors," complete with a class photo, that says writing and art are their favorite subjects and "we feel so thankful for everything that we have."
Each student also will have copies of their section and write another dedication and about the author, and then give it to the person they've dedicated it to over the holiday.
Among the pages, students were thankful for their family, home, friends, food, pets, school, money, toys and God.
Here are some excerpts from their book:
"I'm thankful for my friends because if I did not have them, they couldn't come to my birthday party. I'm also thankful because I would be bored with out them." – Mikaela Coletti
"I am thankful for my home. My home keeps me warm. My home lets me sleep. I really love my home." – Quentin Clarke
"I'm thankful for food. When I'm hugery I eat food. Food keeps me alive. Water helps me when I'm thirsty. That's why I'm thankful for food." – Chase Vanias
"The last think I am thankful for is my bed. My bed helps me sleep. My bed also helps me rest. That is why I absolulley love my bed!" – Kamryn Maichle
"I have a teacher. My teacher loves me. My teacher is an nice teacher. I love my teacher!" – Aiden Terrick
"I am thankful for my family. My family helps me when I need help. My family is great because we go on really cool trips. My family is amazing because they cook me dinner." – Stefan Muntean
"I am thankful for my mom and dad. I love my family because they are sweet. They help me with my homework. that is why I love them." – Lea Lynn
"I'm very thankful for my toys. I'm very joyful to have toys. I love to play with my toys. That's why I'm thankful for my toys." – Zoe Madish
"I'm thankful for God. because God made me. God made my famliy and friends. that is why I'm thankful for God." – Sydney Nyborg
"I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful for my family because they buy me the things I need. also they hug me and love me every day. Thats why im thankful for my family." – Gardenia Roberts

Only one favorite? But I have many! If I have to pick just one it would be *Mangos*!! ;-)
Oops clicked too quick… this is awesome!!!
Mangos =]
Wax apple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_apple)
definitely, sandía!!
(I was once in a watermelon eating contest…only rule was no hands….I was very shocked I didn't win.)
Pineapple! : )
La pina, claro!
No puedo decidir por una sola fruta, pero tendria que decir "Sandia", no solo por su sabor, pero por los recuerdos que associo cuando me siento en el back porch a comer sandia en summer days…me recuerda los dias de infancia jugando "tea party" con mamá y sirviendo pedacitos de sandia en los platitos de juguete. She loved to eat Sandia y más tardaba yo en cortar y servir los pedacitos que ella en acabarselos, lo q me hacia enojar pues no esperaba a q yo terminara para "comer juntas".
Yes, Definitely watermelon!
I don't understand why everyone loves mago. I HATE mango. Can i list the fruit i hate the most?
okay, favorite fruit–bananas. so versatile and good with peanut butter! :)
i know, its a white girl answer. but bananas are awesome.
