And you won't have to walk far to get it. There should be a few food stands set up in the tent village across the street, but the best food is attached to the Charles Theatre itself. Our suggestion: lunch at the delectable Sofi's Crepes, just north of the theater, followed by a sit-down dinner at the deliciously engaging Tapas Teatro, south of the theater. But be warned: both places get crowded quick, so place your food order or grab a table early.

Experience the best New York vacation
From Broadway shows to Central Park, and Little Italy to the Empire State Building, the Big Apple is a city with so much energy it couldn't sleep if it tried. As the cosmopolitan capital of business and culture, New York City offers a dizzying array of restaurants, shopping, theater, museums, art galleries and more.
Shop your way from SoHo to Fifth Avenue, and dedicate afternoons to the Brooklyn Bridge and MoMA. Let Orbitz help you plan your New York City vacation with the best time to go, top attractions and insider gems, including where to shop and dine like a true Gothamist.
New York City is abuzz year-round, meaning the best time to go on a New York City vacation is up to you. If weather is a factor, winters are cold – but it's the best time to see the famous Christmas tree lighting and ice skate in Rockefeller Center. New Years Eve in Times Square is infamous, so plan well in advance if you plan to brave the celebration.
Fall is spectacular, especially near Central Park when colors and cutting-edge fashions peak. Summers are hot and crowded, especially during Yankees and Mets games. But if cheap rates and fewer crowds are a priority, visit between January (after New Year) and early April.
Cloisters Museum
This uptown beauty is a real gem on the northern tip of Manhattan, plus it's included with admission to The Met. See medieval European works dating back to the 9th century, and stunning views of the Hudson River in the gardens.
Pearl River Mart (SoHo)
Shop like a real New Yorker at this funky Chinese market. You'll find everything from silk robes and gongs to hand-painted China dolls and Kung-Fu shoes.
Free tours of the Lower East Side
The Lower East Side Business Improvement District offers free tours through Manhattan's historic Lower East Side. Meet in front of Katz's Deli (corner of East Houston and Ludlow Street) at 11 a.m. on any Sunday from April to November.
subMercer Bar
Write this down: Pass the Mercer hotel, look for a little entryway marked 147 ½. Take the industrial elevator down to the basement. Pass several boxes, and step through the unmarked red door into a series of 3 brick rooms. Try to get a seat in the back – maybe even next to Gisele Bundchen, Marisa Tomei or Leonardo DiCaprio.
Waverly Inn
This Gotham hangout is so hip they don't have a phone, and only take reservations in person two days in advance. A favorite of Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert DeNiro, make sure to get a table in the main dining room … not in the glass conservatory dubbed "Siberia."

Times Square
From Broadway theatres and glowing billboards to street vendors and the Naked Cowboy, even the fussiest traveler gets giddy here. Up your street cred with lunch at a classic NY deli nearby.
Brooklyn Bridge
A NYC icon, film and TV star, the Brooklyn Bridge bears the stampede of hundreds of thousands of vehicles and pedestrians each day. Walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and spend the afternoon wandering through trendy Park Slope.
Statue of Liberty
This French beauty has been welcoming immigrants (and locals) into New York Harbor since 1886. While you can see her from land (great views in Battery Park), get up-close with a ferry ride to Liberty Island.
Bronx Zoo
See lions, zebras, crocodiles, pygmy marmosets and 400-some other animals in this 265-acre zoo -- the biggest urban wildlife preserve in the world. Check out the daily feeding at World of Birds, and watch the Magellanic penguins bob for fish.
Central Park
At nearly 850 acres, this famous green space is home to an ice skating rink, a zoo and carousel, even a castle. Located in the heart of Manhattan, slip away from the city's bustle with walking trails, thousands of trees, and the Great Lawn where you can relax or take in a free show.
Radio City Music Hall
Home to the world-famous Rockettes, this entertainment venue also hosts the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. No time to see a show? Take the Radio City Stage Door Tour for a one-hour peek behind the scenes.
Ellis Island
Between 1892 and 1954, more than 12 million immigrants entered the United States here. Discover their history in the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, and add a name to the Wall of Honor.
Far too many to name, these top the must-see list: The Met (with 2 million works, at least tackle Ancient Egypt and European masters), MoMA (Western masterpieces from paintings to films, famous store), and the American Museum of Natural History (a full-size Blue Whale model, impressive dioramas, and the world's largest collection of vertebrate fossils.)

We've written each month about how quickly this year is FLYING by—and this month is no different. I caught myself telling someone the other day that I'm only going to be away a couple of weekends this coming month; I plan to spend the other weekends at home working in the garden, which could use a little (a lot of) love. My lettuces and spinach continue to produce with tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant tucked neatly in between. Hopefully, by the end of the month I will taste the first tomatoes of summer. (Hello, BLT.)
June is National Iced Tea Month. I would like to say that we will drink more iced tea to celebrate—but our iced tea consumption at the café is never at a lull. Sweet, Un-sweet, Half-and-Half… we love them all.
Here is what June has in store:
June 1-5: Patterns + Alterations Studio Week @ The Factory
June 8-12: Classic Studio Week @ The Factory
June 12: Downtown Wig & Mustache Bash: A Drag Spectacular – throw a little glitter and some shade as Shoals Pridefest kicks off its inaugural event.
June 19: Juneteenth Day – the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States
June 21: Summer Solstice and Father's Day—all wrapped up into one. A great day to get outside and celebrate the great dads in our lives.
June 26-28: Our Classic Sewing Weekend at Blackberry Farm. Find more information here.
June 29: Mother/Daughter One-Day Sewing Retreat at Blackberry Farm. Classic Sewing Weekend registrants, click here to reserve your spots.

Ever wondered how photographers manage to capture a moment so beautifully? We have five handy tips to help you snap your favourite moments on the road.
1. The Key is Composition
Whether shooting an ornate historical building, the sun setting over the ocean or locals at the market, applying some simple rules can make your photographs more visually appealing. When looking through your camera lens or screen, placing the main subject of the scene slightly off centre can make the image much more interesting. Try to picture an imaginary 3x3 grid appearing before taking the photo. This will help with object alignment. You will find the rule of thirds applied all types of artworks.
2. Lighting
Light can be your best friend, or complete hassle. The broader light source, the softer the light. Shadows. Backlight can create beautiful silhouettes however be careful with this if you are trying to capture someone's smile. The most ideal time to shoot (for film or photography) is during twilight. This is when the light is at its softest.
3. Always have your camera
You never know when that perfect picture moment might be so having your camera handy at all times is a must. Even if it is your iPhone.
4. Snap away!
Shoot, snap and practice some more. Improving your photography, like with any other skill, means snapping away whenever and wherever you can. When you become more confident with your camera skills you can start to explore different camera settings and lightings.
4. Edit and Enhance
It is always better to a shot than to spend hours editing, however photography editing is almost just as important as taking the picture. Some of the most popular photo editing software includes Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. You can find an enormous amount of tutorials online to assist you with mastering these programs. You can opt for cheaper versions, so shop around to find the best for you.
Photography is all about timing. There are many fantastic photographers who don't follow these rules and capture incredible moments. Once you learn the fundamentals it's easier to experiment and nail a tough shot in a split second.
Happy snapping!

After that, they will take offers from other networks until February 28th with a decision said to be made by March 4th.

Vince McMahon stated the following…
"WWE is a proven ratings juggernaut, making USA Network No. 1 for the past eight years and delivering more average viewers than every sports property, with the exception of the NFL.

In Logic Pro 9 Essential Training, Scott Hirsch explains how to harness the power and flexibility of Logic Pro, Apple's popular songwriting software, to record, edit, and mix music. The course includes instruction on how to compose in Logic Pro, and spend more time being creative and less time dealing with technical uncertainties. Scott focuses on setting up a workspace, recording with both live performers and digital instruments, editing and arranging, and mixing and mastering a composition. Exercise files accompany the course.
Logic can use the sound card that is already inside your Mac. But if you are serious about recording and mixing, it will behoove you to learn about how you can use external audio interfaces along with Logic Studio 9. Out-of-the-box, the Macintosh audio interface includes a 1/8-inch or mini connector for both input and output. Software that is part of your Mac's operating system is called Core Audio, and is referred to as Built-in Input and Built-in Output by Logic. You can see some options for the Core Audio if you go to your Apple pulldown menu > System Preferences, and click on the Sound.
Here are some options for our internal Mac sound card. Your Mac's built-in audio sound card is great and you can always use it when you take your laptop on a plane, train, wherever you go. But for more professional sounding inputs and outputs, including more than one stereo pair of outputs, you should think about getting an external audio interface. They come in all shapes and sizes. They connect usually via FireWire or USB, but some higher end ones connect with the PCIe slot. External devices handle audio- to-digital conversion or ADC.
This turns sound into numbers that computers can understand. And digital-to-analog conversion, or DAC, turning numbers back into sound that humans can understand. Many audio interfaces also include preamplifiers that are able to take in and deal with any signal, whether it is from a microphone, guitar, or keyboard. Most interfaces also handle headphone and monitoring options to manage sound feeding studio speaker monitors. Some common two-channel interfaces include Apogee Duet, a simple and sleek two-channel audio interface with special features designed for Logic.
There is the Metric Halo ULN-2, a higher end two input, two output interface. And there is the Digidesign MBox, which is in its own special category, because it also comes with Pro Tools, a very popular digital audio workstation you may have heard of. This might be advantageous to you since you can use Pro Tools and you can use the MBox as Logic's interface as well. There are many more two-channel interfaces ranging in price from about $60 to upwards of $5,000. If you are interested in either recording more than one person at a time, or mixing in surround, you have to get an interface with more inputs and outputs options, or I/O.
Some common multichannel interfaces include Apogee Ensemble, with specific features that work with Logic. There is the Mark of the Unicorn, MOTU 896, or there is Digidesign's 003 rack. This also comes with Pro Tools. There are many more of these multichannel audio interfaces out there ranging anywhere from about $200 to $20,000. Once you are in a Logic project, you can configure your audio interface by going to Logic Pro > Preferences > General, choose the Audio tab, Devices, Core Audio.
Here you can choose the input and output device that is connected to your computer. Right now we are using the internal Mac card, as you can tell because it says Built-in Input and Output. But if I wanted to use a external device, which I have here, it's called a Hammerfall DSP, I would select it from this menu, for both input or output. Also, if you ever need to reset your device, you can come to this window and uncheck the Enabled box, recheck it, and hit Apply. It will reload and reset. Your audio interface is the only thing standing between your music and Logic.
There are many good ones out there and they are only getting cheaper as time goes on. Although Apple has a special relationship with Apogee, it is good to know that Logic supports almost all interfaces out there.

The baby Ninja ... is absolutely outshadowed by the Hyosung Comet GT250...
I examined the Hyosung GT250R extensively last fall. It
very impressive for such a low price point. However, looks aren't the whole story. The forks contain damper rods, not cartridges - the USD forks are just for looks - and are preload-only adjustable. They are very similar to those on the Ninja, but are larger in diameter. The brakes are an old design, and the dual disks up front just add unsprung mass. The frame is all steel and identical to that of the GT650R (to handle the power and torque of the 650 V-2), but with a 250cc V-2 motor. The result is a
410 lb. DRY
weight. That's
102 lbs. heavier
than the Ninja 250, with about the same level of technology.
The GT-R does have more torque than the Ninja, but the peak HP is about the same. The riding position is more upright on the Ninja, which I prefer for touring. Also for touring, the fuel economy of the GT-R won't match the Ninja's.
The Hyosung is a great town bike, and a great looker, but to my mind in no way comes close to competing with the Ninja 250 in useful flexibility. They are in completely different classes. If you are interested, the folks at ninja250.com had some interesting discussions last year when the GT250R was first released in the U.S.
Also, regarding the Ninjette, there is a terrific touring rack that supports a tail trunk and panniers made by one of the ninja250.com members. It's also reversable to keep the load over the passenger seat when you're not riding tandem. The Ninja 250 is, in fact, one of the best owner/community-supported bikes available.
By the way, I'm not down on Hyosung.
I'm expecting great things from them in the future when they have boot-strapped their way up to more current technology. With their growing economy, and great attention to the automotive and motorcycle industries, the Chinese will become a force to be respected in the very near future.
Cycle World printed a comparison test in August 2006 called "Six in the City" (pg. 62). They compared the Ducati Monster 695, the Honda 599, the Ninja 650R, the SV650, and the FZ6, together with the Hyosung GT650R. Since the GT650R and the GT250R are almost identical except for displacement, you might be interested in the comparison. The GT650R didn't "win", but it did much better than anyone expected!

Apple's 'Get' Puts Paid to Free-App Sham
November 24, 2014
Apple has removed the word "free" from download buttons in its iOS and OS X app stores, replacing it with "get." European regulators recommended the action to Apple and Google earlier this year. In July, Google removed the "free" label from games that could be downloaded without cost -- but required in-app purchases to access a full set of features.
Platform Native

The idea of an omnipotent software platform and the evolution of customer science go hand in hand. Customer science is the upshot of my idea that we're in the process of converting from random acts of CRM in the front office to a more structured, efficient and predictable approach to conducting front-office business. Platforms make customer science possible.
Vendors Sow Seeds for Next Big Federal IT Thing: Convergence
November 19, 2014
Information technology vendors have spotted the next big thing for serving the U.S. government market. The only questions are 1) whether federal agencies themselves have seen the same thing; and 2) if so, whether they are prepared to jump into yet another new procurement process. What the vendors have in mind is akin to the turnkey process used in the construction industry.
Google Glass May Be Saved by Obscurity
November 19, 2014
Whatever happened to Google Glass? In the early days, people got punched in bars, bounced from movie theaters, and pulled over in cars for wearing them, and some establishments outright banned "glassholes" from their premises. Google claimed the white "Cotton" beta model sold out when it held a one-day sale of Google Glass Explorer for United States residents at $1,500 a pop in April.
SBA Proposal Could Change Landscape for IT Resellers
November 17, 2014
Doing business with the U.S. government is always a challenge.

Are There Too Many Forks at the FOSS Table?
November 3, 2014
Halloween has come and gone here in the Northern reaches of the Linux blogosphere, but for those of us paying attention, few things could be more frightful than the bloodshed now occurring in Debian's civil war. The streets of the blogosphere are filled with smoke; conversations are getting drowned out by the din of gunfire; and glasses are perpetually rattling down at the Punchy Penguin Saloon.
Defining a Hero: Why It Matters That Apple's CEO Is Gay
November 3, 2014
Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced he is gay. Typically, when a CEO's personal life becomes a major issue, it is a bad thing. I do think this will have an adverse impact on Apple's sales, but I also think it will have a beneficial impact on the world. I'll share my thoughts about why a CEO doing something both controversial and potentially heroic is a good thing.

The Importance of Being FOSS
October 6, 2014
It's a fact of life in virtually every community that there will be countless daily distractions -- news announcements, controversies, squabbles -- that take up the majority of our time and energy, leaving little for the big picture.

Watch: Prince William takes George to meet his sister
The hula hooping was easy peasy - Michelle managed 142 swivels

Daughters Malia and Sasha would have been a little less impressed with her skipping technique, even though she got top marks for effort

The athletic display was in the name of encouraging young people to exercise and eat healthily
Photo: © Getty Images
This is not the kind of activity you can imagine Laura Bush engaged in or even our own Sarah Brown or Cherie Blair.
Self-styled Mom-in-Chief Michelle Obama put her heart, soul and hips into her campaign to encourage healthy living among children on Wednesday.
Slipping off her shoes, the US first lady tackled an obstacle course laid out on the White House lawn.
Cheered on by youngsters from local schools, 45-year-old Michelle exhibited a skill she'd kept quiet about up until now - her ability with a hula hoop.
During her demonstration she swivelled her hips 142 times.
Skipping double dutch-style - that is, with two ropes on the go in opposite directions at the same time - proved less of a forte.
After entertaining the crowds with her athletic display, the mother of two went for the hard sell, telling kids to stop complaining when vegetable appear on their plate.
Imitating a whiny child Michelle said: "I don't wanna eat it. I don't like it. It tastes bad. I don't want it."
"We don't want to hear the whining. We want you to eat it. Just eat it."
But she said junk food was fine occasionally, admitting that "there's nothing that the first family loves more than a good burger".

Well I think it is that time to say bye to the paci.
I checked DD's Paci's this morning and ALL 4 of them are split or torn or about to be torn and 2 of them are only 5 days old.
I am not sure if that means she is not even iterested in them but I do know that when she is going to sleep she will look for it put it in her mouth and go to sleep.
She doesnt get the Pacifier once she wakes up it stays in her bed,
Do I just go cold Turkey?
I dont think there is anything else I can do as this is dangerous if she bites it off and it gets lodged in her throat......ok I can't even think about that.
iIt is the same with her sippy cups - she bites them and now they all leak so we have moved to a toddler cup with the hard spout.
I can't afford to buy sippys and pacifiers every other day!!
Any tips or suggestions are welcome :)

Latest news releases and President's column.
Teaching versus testing. That's what it comes down to.
In April, school districts began testing students across the state on the new Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) standardized test. A few days later, I asked some of our teachers how that was going. Their reply, in a word: dreadful.
The primary complaint: this new test is stealing time from instruction and the curriculum. Testing began April 1 and continues through the week of June 1. Combine this with the Northwest Evaluation Assessment testing in the fall, winter and spring and it is no wonder parents as well as teachers are rebelling against additional testing.
Teachers report that the M-STEP test is taking much more time than projected. In many cases an entire school day is spent on the test and still students were unable to complete it. They were then "locked out" for failing to adhere to the original directive from the Department of Education that the test be completed on the same day it was begun. After being deluged with complaints, the department changed their directive and now allows the test to be completed on another day. That's another day spent testing, not teaching.

"Michigan's road quality is among the worst in the nation," according to a study done by the East Lansing-based Anderson Economic Group.
EAST LANSING, Mich., April 21, 2015 — In an open letter to Gov. Snyder and state education stakeholders, MEA President Steve Cook is asking that data from the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) not be used this year in teacher evaluations, district rankings, or for any other purposes. The letter details numerous problems associated with the test, which is now in its second week of implementation in school districts across the state.
Cook said, "After just five days, we're hearing loud and clear from our members just some of the many problems associated with M-STEP. It's impossible to believe that this test could be an accurate measure of student growth. We can't use unreliable data to judge teachers and school districts."
The letter points out that M-STEP is taking huge amounts of time away from classroom instruction and curriculum. In some cases, a whole school day is absorbed with testing, when only a few hours were scheduled. Teachers reported that students are not finishing the test and were "locked out" of completing the test later.
Since M-STEP is an online test, computers and computer labs are unavailable to other students and classes to do their work. In many schools, computer labs are in school libraries which are now off limits during the testing period.
In too many cases, a school district's infrastructure isn't able to provide the technology needed for administration of M-STEP. A middle school test coordinator spent the first days of the testing window working with computers locking up or crashing; insufficient server capacity, equipment failures, and software issues. "It seemed M-STEP became an assessment of a student's ability to manipulate the technology, and less a test of what a student learned."
The ice has melted and the roads are worse.
Michigan's deteriorating roads and bridges pose a serious safety threat to drivers. Crater-size potholes are responsible for extensive damage to our automobiles.
If you believe our schools and safer roads are important to the quality of life in Michigan, circle May 5 on your calendar. On that day, voters will be asked to vote on a proposal that would raise over $1 billion to repair Michigan's dangerous roads and bridges, while raising $300 million in new revenue for Michigan public schools, funded by a 1-cent increase in the state sales tax.
When you find yourself in a hole, the first step to getting out is to stop digging.
The hole I am referring to is the $1 billion taxpayers spend each year on Michigan's experiment with charter schools. A recent report by a pro charter school group ranks Michigan's charter school accountability law last among similar states.
The hole I am referring to is the $1 billion taxpayers spend each year on Michigan's experiment with charter schools.
"Believe there is good in the world."
That is the motto of Yale Education Association as teachers in this small district in St. Clair County seek to fulfill Gandhi's dream and "be the change you wish to see in the world." Their goal: raise $50,000 to build a home for a family in need in their community. Yale teachers have recruited students and community members in their mission and are partnering with the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity to achieve their goal.
The Heartlands Institute of Technology is a career tech center run by the Ionia Intermediate School District.
Students not only get hands-on experience in a number of fields, but are able to give back to the community as well; in the Dental Occupations program they use that experience to help provide free dental care to patients who lack insurance. Teachers set up the program, recruit dentists to provide free services and teach students the necessary skills to assist with the procedures.
These are just a few examples of school employees across the state going above and beyond to improve the learning experiences of their students, the communities they live and work in and, along the way, teach lessons that can't be taught with a textbook or a computer. These efforts won't show up on student standardized test scores or teacher evaluation forms, but they are essential lessons nonetheless.
EAST LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26, 2013 — The following statement can be attributed to MEA Executive Director Gretchen Dziadosz in response to a Detroit News column this morning listing her as a potential candidate as Michigan's next State Superintendent of Public Instruction:

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 1/20/13
Without Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker was going to be the lone star for the San Antonio Spurs and he didn't disappoint against the Atlanta Hawks. Parker had a brief moment where he saw no one protecting the rim and didn't think twice about driving for a strong layup for a three point play. Tiago Splitter also sets a great pick to bump the defender out of the way for a brief second, enough time for Parker to accelerate for a layup. You can see check out the video below.

Picture: The Avengers stars, Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, May 4th. Ellen talks with Robert...
As fans of Marvel's new superhero movie will know, 'The Avengers' has now taken over $1 billion at the worldwide box-office, putting it in similar company to the likes of 'Toy Story 3', the Harry Potter movies, and 'Avatar'. But can the film, starring Robert Downey Jr, still be outdone for the title of biggest movie of the year?
The likeliest contender is obviously The Dark Knight Rises - Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, which boasts a stellar cast including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman and more. Though it perhaps doesn't have the intrigue that came with Heath Ledger's Joker, the film's trailer has been causing a buzz, and it's likely to take a huge amount at the box-office come July. A couple of outsiders worth mentioning include Ridley Scott's 'Alien' inspired movie 'Prometheus', starring Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron. A viral marketing campaign has certainly helped the movie's cause, and it wouldn't be a surprise if it outdid expectations next month. Elsewhere, Marc Webb's 'The Amazing Spider-Man' starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone will be a huge hit later this year, though perhaps more realistically will be battling for the No.2 spot with The Dark Knight Rises for 2012. Other movies expected to take well over $100 million on debut include 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and 'Men in Black 3'.
Boxoffice.com editor Phil Contrino told MTV News, "I don't think anything other than 'Dark Knight Rises' can pull it off.With 'Spider-Man,' every time a franchise is rebooted, it takes a while for the fans to dip their toes in the water and get a feel for it".

Whitmore Family
I see you have a lot information about Elizabeth (Whitmore) Mars and her parents and siblings.
I was the one who added the Photo of Elizabeth (Whitmore) Mars and her husband Uriah Mars. I took photos of the originals from the Mars extended family.
Do you have any photos of the Elizabeth (Whitmore) Mars family or her parents Thomas Whitmore or Sarah Jane (Hatten) Whitmore.
Where they Indians? Charikee Maybe. Maybe Uriah Mars family was Indian.

Sorry I did not explain it well. Jesse Robert Sharp was my grandfather, nickname Bob, I think.
Robert Hines Sharp was my GREAT grandfather; someone wrote people called him by his middle name, Nines

Also Makes My Cat Throw Up
I read maybe two reviews that this made my cat throw up and frankly thought that was weird and wondered how they knew it was there...but I guess if your cat never thows up and all of a sudden throws up when you start these well then...duh! lol. So yeah, they made my cat throw up too....the clear yellow frothy kind....after the third time I knew it was Nu-Cat Senior by Vetr-Science Laboratories for sure and reduced it from 4 to 2 to see if that didn't make her sick. She hasn't thrown up that I know of since....of course the dog could be "getting rid of it" before I see it so who knows. It's probably the synthetic & mostly cheap-as-possible forms of the vitamins they use in these. Which I decided was a risk I was going to accept since I was hoping it's outweighed by the possible benefit (since she is 15 y/o). If I don't see increased appetite, energy, mobility etc when the pack is done I won't buy again. I do think if I had to guess what in here is bothering some cats I would say the cyanocobalamin, which can cause allergic reaction in both people and pets.
Synthetic/cheap vitamins used (ie cyanocobalamin form of B12 & sodium selenite rather than selenium yeast....etc).

My cat begs for these!!
My cat is rather finicky about taste and chews consistency; she will not eat a tablet or powder off her food but these soft chews are great tasting to her and she wakes me up in the morning and begs for these! We were using another well-known brand of chicken liver flavor and we were hesitant to switch over (she is a confirmed poultry-lover) but Nu-Cat Senior is good for senior cats and packed with extra nutrients. It passed the test with flying colors. Only criticism I have is that the packet we received had several cracked and broken chews that were a bit dry but the cat doesnt seem to mind. We will be buying this again!
Cat loves the taste and it has lots of good nutrition for senior cats.
None so far.

Wonderful vitamins Wonderful service!
I want to sing the praises of Pure Formulas and NuCat Vitamin Chews. I had been purchasing these chews for one of my kitties on the recommendation of my vet. By the time the vets price had increased so much as to not be affordable I started searching around on the net to find a better price. I found Pure Formulas and was amazed at their low price and free shipping. Tried my first order with them several months ago. The order arrived very quickly and was nicely packaged. Thanks to Pure Formulas affordable price on these vitamins I can now afford to give the vits to my other kitty as well! Now when we need to restock our Nu Chews Vitamin supply I order from Pure Formulas and continue to receive the same courteous fast service. Happy cats and happy cat mom!
My kitties love them. These are the best quality vitamins nice and soft and easy for my kitties to eat. The foil packages are great for keeping the vits fresh.
Nothing to dislike.

First impressions: Color choices are solid, you know what you're going for here. The cracked mud detail is also excellent.
Second Impressions: This looks like its intended to be an illustration. What separates illustrations from other painting is storytelling. Often the story is EXTREMELY simple.
Here the story seems to be "giant earth elemental rises and destroys helicoptor." That's a fine story, and you can push it farther.
Right now that laval river is just sitting there to merely provide a light source (a good idea in and of itself). However, you can brig that lava into the narrative. Perhaps the elemental should be rising out of it directly, rather than behind it. You could alternatively, extend the river back to where he is rising from in the background.
Also, relate the elemental to the helicoptor. Maybe he's swatting it. Maybe the force of him erupting from the ground creates a spray which hits the coptor.
Don't be afraid to redraw your main figure and put him in an active pose. This looks like an active "Monster Destroys Something" narrative. Make that action happen!
Finally, detail that coptor. It's a part of the story and it needs to be almost as detailed as the main figure

The first question is whats the name of the picture, what shoul it to express?
Its some vulcano creature?
The shapes/anatomy need to be more specified - my opinion - is the creature more like a stone or has it some human/animal ground?

BERING SEA - A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew hoisted Holden Jonan-Serrano, an El Salvadorian citizen, after he reportedly sustained an injury to his right eye when he collided with a pipe while working aboard the Dutch Harbor-based 124-foot fishing vessel Clipper Surprise more than 50 miles north of Dutch Harbor Monday. Jonan-Serrano was transported to Cold Bay in stable condition, where a commercial medevac jet further transported him to Anchorage. U.S. Coast Guard video by Air Station Kodiak.
