Pebbleheart - withdrawn
I know this breaks the image number, but there are some that are getting approved, so... yeah. But I will say that I am not very fond of my work on this image (Except the ear and herbs, :D). Mossflight 06:22, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
(S) - The background is showing up gray. Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 17:48, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
It looks very good, I can't see anything wrong with the Shadding. Just made the fur a little bit darker. Holly!
Looks great! But I think that the ear pink should be more dull, as it looks very bright right now. --Rainwhisker09 23:01, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
Nice =) Blur the tabby stripes slightly though; they look like they're painted on. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 19:46, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
I'm withdrawing tis. I want to focus on my Briarpaw more, and I want to learn how to do better highlights. ChristmasforChelseaFC 00:20, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Birdy - Declined
[[File:Birdy.png]] Yep, I finally did her. Constructive criticism is welcome, and remember, if I don't respond right away, even for a week, DON'T remove. GB57 17:27, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - There are dark gray dots inside of the middle patch, and I can't see any shading. Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 17:40, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
The ear pink looks... circular. --Rainwhisker09 23:41, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
GB, I don't know how much allowance I can give you… the image can't just remain here while others are declined when they aren't worked on in a week. It isn't fair to others. I'll give you two weeks at the most; after that I don't think it can stay up any more if you haven't worked on it. --Bramble-san 21:04, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
I agree: two weeks is fair because he can only get on every other week. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 18:04, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
Back. God, I hate life when it makes you busy. Anyway, I'll get on this before the weekend ends, but I have other stuff I need to catch up on, as well. GB57 15:01, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
Better? I blurred the darker spots in. GB57 15:45, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
Yes, that's better. The ear pink needs to be slightly less circular though (I know it's hard with the kits but make it a bit taller) and a less purpley colour. Then darken all the shading.Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 16:02, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
I forgot to do the ear pink. I'll get to it this weekend. Ugh, sorry I'm gone so often. And thanks to my dad's new stupid work schedule, it's going to get slightly worse. Grrr. GB57 02:45, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that, Grocery :(. On the image: it's great, but could you darken the eyes a bit? They are so light I can't really tell what color they are. Sparrowsong 00:29, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I've improved her. How is she? GB57 21:56, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Great! I don't see anything wrong :D. You did a pretty nice job. Sparrowsong 18:31, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Ear pink needs to be less circular and the shading needs to be darkened. --Hallow's Eve09 21:50, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Blackclaw. Also, maybe try blurring the stomach-patch just a tad more. --HoneyfurBob's Your Uncle! 23:48, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
I'll do the patch, but the ear pink has already been made less circular. GB57 15:23, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
The only thing I see wrong is that darker shading is needed. That's all. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 22:59, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
Sorry it's taking so long, guys, but I won't be able to get to this for another week. Believe me, I'll do this when I get the chance. GB57 03:23, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
Alright, re-uploaded. GB57 16:26, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
The white part of the pelt needs shading. Once you do that, this should be ready. --Icethroat21Enter at risk 16:33, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
I suggest that you use burn highlights on 12(maybe) on the white parts of her body. Thats what I do and it works really well.--AshshadowMy Clan 23:01, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
This has been up since mid-September. This will seem unfair, but I feel that if the image can't be approved in two months, it should be taken down. I'll give you another week to get this approved, GB, but then I'm declining it. --Bramble-san 01:32, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

(M) - Not much to say about these. First blank I've made where you can see both sides of the face and such, and probably the last blank I'll do for a long time. Will make a colored version over the weekend. (Maybe.) Constructments? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 22:51, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Very cute. But their bellies and legs look.. weird. Ghostfire Happy Halloween! 23:44, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
A few things though...What i think could be improved[[File:Red_circle.png]] How I would do it..... [[File:REDline.png]] Feel free to remove this or disregard it if i'm wrong, but its lineart looks a bit odd only in this area. Summary of it: The arm has odd, unnecicary lines, the showing hind leg goes a bit up, or thick, the stomach area is oddly shaped, and the eye is a bit odd... But its fabulous in the rest.--♥Shade♥Meow/Prey 00:21, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
The hind leg looks a little disproportionate--AutumnSky 02:26, October 22, 2009 (UTC) [[File:Firestar.ex.png]] I made a example and changed up the lineart a little bit. Ghostfire Happy Halloween! 15:44, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Just to let everyone know, I'm still working on these. Please don't decline. Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 23:18, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
The arm showing looks either too thin or too long, and the showing hind looks to high or thick.♥Shadowedheart♥ 01:09, November 3, 2009 (UTC) I really wanna see these improved, so if you need help re-lining them, i made this. [[File:Kittypet_blankhelp.png]] And a colored version of my cat, speedy.The colored version looks terrible because i didnt shade it. Dont criticize it...[[File:Kittypet_Blank_Long_Malespeedy.png]]♥Shadowedheart♥ 22:03, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Reuploded. What else do I need to fix? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 19:44, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
This might sound weird... but the stomachs look like kangaroos in that they have a kind of pouch... I think it's the way the lineart seems to overlap. Also, there are a lot of little lines that are kind of unecessary and will make colouring difficult. Try and simplify them a little without losing too much important detail. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 23:01, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
I think it would be easier to add ear pink if the line in the ear that is closest to us was taken out, but thats just my opinion. --Spottedwing 02:36, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Well, now I'm sick. Nothing like H1N1 or anything, but my sinuses are all congested. D: Anyways, Snady could you be more specic on the lines that can be taken out and how they look like kangaroos? As for Spottedwing, I was wondering about that. While it makes blurring difficult, the leader blanks have the same kind of lines and they help define where to place the ear pink... what do you guys think? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 22:48, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
I agree with you, Moss. Since the leader blanks are like that as well...I personally like the ears as they are, it helps define them better, as you said. Also, I hope you feel better soon! --Icethroat21Enter at risk 00:51, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
Jus forget my comment; they don't look like it anymore. I think my computer was being funny about showing image updates but it seems to be fixed now. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 10:24, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
Okay. I think Icethroat is right: keep the lines as it defines the ear shape more. There are some smaller lines such as on the chest that make the image hard to colour though as they get blurred when blurring shading. They also look very... rough so maybe you could try and simplify some of the busier areas of the blanks somewhat - they don't have to be complicated to look good (look at the warrior blanks) and the object is to make them easy to colour. Also, the paw that is lifted, the elbow looks floppy like it has no bone in it. The pose is great though =) These are the best kittypet blanks I think I've seen Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 21:32, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Fixed fur and got rid of the gray lines on the edges. As for the elbows, I'm not sure how to fix them; any ideas? Just make them pointer? Also, I'm afraid to mess with the fur due to the fact that it took me forever to get it right. Plus, the fur's like my loner blanks, so I'm trying to keep to that style. Anyways, what can I fix? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 22:22, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
(S) - Moss, I'm not sure if I can call you tonight, so I'll comment here. On the long-haired's tails, the fur is pointing the wrong direction. It should be falling, but not pointed backwards. Definetely getting better, though. Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 18:09, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Hey guys, I'm going to work on these tomorrow. *sweat drop* Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 00:26, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - Reuploaded. I fixed the fur on the tails. Wow, that was mousebrained of me... Anyways, what else do I need to fix? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 02:14, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
The elbow looks a little kinda flappy. Maybe stretch it out a little?--Nightfall101 02:35, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
(M) - I'm not sure about the elbow; as you can see from one of my reference kitties here the elbow's not very long or pointy. Any suggestions on how to fix this so the elbow doesn't look so flappy? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 21:22, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Aw the kitty looks just like Hawkey. :) And on the elbow, try adding a tuft of fur on the elbow. HawkfireTalk! 14:34, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
I hate to do this, but blanks really require a lot of work and effort that we need focused on our actual art for now. These are only fractions of the main characters; most are warriors. Kit-mothers, soft paws, and kittypets can wait for a while. Let's hold off on blanks until we can get more art approved; I will post an announcement on the talk page.

it look a bit odd..what is she doing? Brambleclaw14 Talk 15:52, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if Apprentices are allowed to critique, and I love the blanks, but there are a few spots that look a bit... out of place. XD The paw near the Kit-Mother's head looks a bit flat, and the tails could be a smidge wider, but that's all I see. (: Shigura Mah Talk Page 21:53, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
Shigura: Everyone's aloud to critique. That's part of the learning experience, being able to say what's wrong with a picture. :) Mumble: I agree with Shigura, the paw looks flat, and the tail could be a small bit wider. And also, the tail on the shorthair could maybe brought to the left a little bit, so the bottom of the lineart on the tail is at the same curve as the bottom lineart of the tail on the longhair, giving a curve that makes it more natural. Otherwise, great job, Mumble! Icethroat21Enter at risk 22:18, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
She looks good, but the muzzle is a little thick, that shouldn't be too hard, methinks. You put queen blanks up a while ago, right? You've really improved ^^.--Darkhallows 07:34, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

lol. I've REUPLOADED the originals, and also have modified and saved two without paws so we can see which is better. I'll do the rouder tails with the next editing section, as well as making a new colored in example. --MUMBLE785MAN-EATING KITTEHS! 00:35, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

I like the one without the paw, but maybe make the neck a little thicker, especialy on the long haired one--Nightfall101 04:27, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
I personally like the one with the paw, because the one without the paw looks kind of weird, like the cat's paw was cut off or something. But that's just my opinion. --Rainwhisker09 23:57, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

I'll do the furry leg and non-pointy tail ASAP, but I don't know what you mean by the forlegs look like they're pointing in different dirrections. Can you please clarify? --MUMBLE785MAN-EATING KITTEHS! 20:36, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
(S) - I have no idea how to do a diagram, but I'll ask Moss later. The longhaired's leg isn't reaching as far. Can anyone who sees it please do a diagram? Mosswhisker & Steatlhfire 22:16, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

I just circled where the leg didn't reach as far as the shorthair blank--Nightfall101 00:10, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
(M)- The tails look like they're being held in the air; I made an example for you. (On the example the tails are way too small compared to the body, but you get the picture.) Also, the faces look... I dunno, twisted. Maybe just try moving them around a bit.

Wow, these look great! Only one thing - the front paws look a bit... round. I know that they're supposed to be tucked in, but could you make a line inside the curve, just so that you can see where the paw is?

These are good! But maybe you could show part of the tail-tip near the head (if you know what I mean)? --Rainwhisker09 01:57, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
I exist! I don't think that they are too skinny. They are feral, after all. As for the paws? They are a little annoying to play with, so I changed the first one. Better? worse? And I would Blackclaw, but the tail would look way too long then.--Darkhallows 09:55, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
I like the other paws better. Perhaps give them a couple of claws or something, or make them slightly less rounded though. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 22:10, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
I like the other paws better, like the one on the male longhair (the one on the upper right hand corner). I don't know how you would fix this, but the paws on the shorthairs look odd...like the lineart is thicker or something. Try to make the paws on the shorthairs look more like the paws on the longhairs. Also, as said before, these all need their own file for each, not just one file for all four of them. --Icethroat21Enter at risk 22:34, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
Done. They have their own files, and I will switch it once the 24 hours starts. This is for simplicity of editing.--Darkhallows 11:51, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about these. They just don't look right to me. Their whole anatomy seems not right. Maybe they look better when colored. Would someone mind doing a colored sample? --Bramble-san 02:35, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

They do look weird. I played with the longhaired female. Better, worse? It'd help if I knew exactaly what to change.--Darkhallows 04:13, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I tried to color one too, and it was very difficult--Nightfall101 07:46, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
-facepalm- Would you mind telling which part was hard? It's not much help just saying that is was. I only had trouble on V1's eyes [[File:Sfpex.png]]...
[[File:Softpaw_example.png]] I had no problem coloring and shading the cat. The only part that was troubling was the ears and the eyes, the others were fine. Oh and I colored the background because i had to erase the other 3 cats, and I was bored so I just decided to do the background. Mossflight 18:00, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
It was just the eyes and ears--Nightfall101 22:32, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
Fair point, Shady. :) Ya gotta tell someone how to make it better or nothing's fixed. Basically, it just looks like the cat is curved too far backwards and the tail and far hind leg look scrunched up and unnatural. It just doesn't look good. If you can, perhaps you can make the blanks more like this model: click (sorry, was the only thing I could find that moderately explained what I was talking about) --Bramble-san 23:15, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

It is a very nice image, Sandwich. But Honeyrose had this long before you did; you only changed the CP section a while ago, whereas she'd had her image on the page for a while now.

I used the same tabby stripe style as her kit version, but I think they look... IDK--*Minnowclaw* 22:32, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
She looks amazing, but maybe do the tabby stripes bigger.★HiddensunTalk 22:36, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
For the image, maybe make the amount of silver bigger so you have more room to make the tabby stripes bigger. But the current appearance for Ivypaw, as listed in TFA, is "white tabby she-cat", which would be a white cat with silver tabby stripes (I think). But as to which description you should use...I don't know. I think that should be Sandy or Bramble's decision. Lots of cats keep having apperance and gender changes almost every book (lol), so it's hard to keep track of descriptions, as well as which ones to use on the character pages. --Icy-chan 22:20, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
lol Minnow. The tabby stripes on the kit version are small because she's a kit - they would get bigger as she got older - theyre just 'y' shaped markings, old style. Description... hmm... My opinion is that you should use the current TFA description as that is where she is mentioned as an app. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 12:01, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

The image itself looks fine, but it doesn't really match Ivypaw's description and kit versison. She needs to be white with gray tabby patches. Look at her kit version here: Ivypaw (TC) --I♥RavenpawTalk

[[File:Stormfur(CG).png]] hm...is he too dark?-- Pebble2Pineow> *poke* hai! 00:50, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
Much too dark. Try doing more of a blue-gray, like Stonefur's fur. Also, no more than 35 images can be up at a time. This is number 36; please take it down and wait until another image has been approved, then you can put it back up. --I♥RavenpawTalk
No, don't to blue-gray. It clearly says he is dark gray like Graystripe. But I agree it's too dark--Nightfall101 02:36, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
Nightfal's right, keep it to a gray color, like Stormfur's apprentice image. It's not the fur color that's too dark, it's the shading. The shading is way too dark. Also, make the ear pink more of a reddish color rather than a pink color. --Icy-chan 03:45, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
reuploaded -- Pebble2Pineow> *poke* hai! 16:32, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
Ear pink is far too bright. Run the burn tool over it a few times and blur it. Might want to make it smaller too. [[:) Mousetalon Call Me Mousey!!!]]
Some pixels of the tail- and leglineart seem to be blurred and there are some white pixels on the tails ground. The shadding looks great by the way. --Holly...leaf or berry?
The mudstreaks look really unnatural and the ear pink needs to be a slightly more reddish colour. Sandy~Dragonkit's Forest 12:38, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
can i withdraw this? i don't hink i'm that good at the mud streaks...I might work on him sometime when i'm better...-- Pebble2Pineow> *poke* hai! 03:43, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
I suppose so, but this was really coming along well--SNOWFALLLet it snow, let it snow! 03:50, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Awww!(hangs head and droops tail) Can this one still be approved,I worked hard on it even though the ear pink needs blended more.--Firepelt 02:04, December 6, 2009 (UTC)FirePelt
Well, since I'm an apprentice and it's not up to me, I can't say whether it can be approved or not. I would think not, since Screech already has a picture, and we don't really have need for this. This is good though. However yes, the ear pink needs to be blurred and the shading needs to be blurred and darkened.--SnowfallLet it snow, let it snow! 02:14, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, Firepelt. It's a good image, but we've really already done all the to'bes that need doing. Try working on a warrior. Sandy has made a whole list of cats that need charart. See her user page. But please take this down. Don't decline it, just delete. --Tinselclaw 02:16, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
Whatever....thanks anyways(growls under breath)My computer wont let me fully color in the warrior fully,then for some reason,it blurs the whole edge when i didnt touch a button.I'm declinging it even though I dont have the authority. --Firepelt 02:20, December 6, 2009 (UTC)Firepelt
Then you can just say withdrawn. If the warrior doesn't work for you, you can try some of the other blanks. There's a lot of chararts needing done. Don't feel bad about this one. --Tinselclaw 02:30, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Star was the one that was taken and presumably eaten by Sharptooth. (I swear my heart broke in two when I read that part) She died as a kit-mother, so her blank should be a kit-mother--SNOWFALLLet it snow, let it snow! 03:45, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Burton Channel System Binding Compatibility
By: Chris Zimmerman, Seattle, WA: Maybe you've tried the Burton Channel System paired with the specially designed Burton EST Bindings and maybe you enjoyed it. Maybe you like Burton snowboards, but you prefer Union Bindings…that's okay too. We know it can be confusing to figure out a new mounting system and exactly which bindings will fit on your new board. There is nothing worse than getting all the way home or finally getting your box in the mail, only to realize that you bought two incompatible products. With the right info, hopefully this will never happen. We have a lot of knowledgeable staff at evo, and are always down to answer any questions about the Burton Channel System Binding Compatibility or anything else.
So what's up with the Channel System anyway and how can it benefit you?
(2015 Burton Custom Flying V Snowboard)
As you can see on this Custom Flying V Snowboard, there are two channels in the board where traditional binding inserts would be located. These channels allow micro stance-width and angle adjustments. They also allow the board to fully flex all the way through by eliminating the dead-spot under your foot where the inserts would be. It's pretty cool and gives you near limitless stance options. Unfortunately, not all bindings work with the Burton Channel System, so you have to make sure you are buying the right ones.
(2015 Burton Cartel EST Snowboard Bindings)
The first, and recommended binding for the channel system would be any Burton EST binding. These bindings were specially designed to work hand-in-hand with the Channel system. On the EST bindings, Burton took out all the hard plastic from the tray and replaced it with flexible EVA foam (like what other bindings use for padding on their trays). The bindings are mounted with two screws on the outside of the binding, so the binding will fully flex with your board under your foot. Some people also like the full EVA footbeds because they place the sole of the boot entirely on soft foam, as opposed to hard plastic or metal. Not into the whole EST thing? Well check this out:
(2015 Union Contact Pro Snowboard Bindings)
This binding works on the channel system too! Union Bindings changed their disc to be compatible with the Burton Channel. (Note that Union bindings will only fit on a Burton Channel board 2011 or newer).
Other bindings brands that are compatible: 2011 and later Flux, and 2011 and later Flow snowboard bindings.
We know what some of you are thinking…didn't a couple brands try the slider system on their boards a long time ago and it didn't work that well? Correct. The Channel is different from the slider system in the way that it has only one slot built into the board, making it super strong and flexible. The only way to see if The Channel is right for you is to try it out.
If you have any other questions, Burton put together this nifty tool to help figure out if your bindings will work on Burton boards or not:

Subway Signs Deal As Official Training Partner Of N.Y. Marathon
Published September 23, 2010
|Subway Will Break National Campaign Next
Month Supporting N.Y. Marathon Deal
Subway has signed a one-year sponsorship making it the "official training partner" of the ING-entitled N.Y. Marathon. The sponsorship of the country's top marathon dovetails nicely with Subway's "healthy/active" positioning, and also complements Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle competing in the Nov. 7 race.
Subway will support the deal with a national TV campaign scheduled to break in early October that will include Fogle's marathon training. Subway CMO Tony Pace said, "This is a great opportunity for us to show that elite athletes do eat at Subway." In-store support for the 200-plus Subway restaurants in N.Y. has not been finalized. Subway has hired Meb Keflezighi, the winner of last year's marathon, for appearances and other marketing assignments. Fellow QSR Dunkin Donuts has been a N.Y. Marathon sponsor since '06. However, Subway Dir of Sports Marketing Paul Bamundo said the rights of the two competing QSRs are clearly defined. "They use the marathon sell coffee, so that's off limits for us, but we can use it to market our breakfast offerings, which is now very important to us," he said. Subway launched a breakfast menu in April, to go with its featured Seattle's Best Coffee.

BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- There's nothing hedge fund managers love more than talking their books Professional investors relish every opportunity to go on TV or speak at a conference to tell you what they're investing in (and why you're making a mistake by not doing the same). That's part of the reason why retail investors get fixated on the stocks that fund managers are buying.
>>Warren Buffett's Top 25 Stocks for 2014
But finding out which stocks fund managers are selling can often be even more useful for investors.
For starters, admitting to their "sell list" is usually an act of contrition for hedge funds; even the most disciplined investors don't like admitting spotlighting the names they're getting creamed on. Sure, investors love knowing what the pros are buying -- that's only natural. But it's the sell list -- the names that institutional investors hate the most -- that represent some of the biggest conviction moves. Scouring fund managers' hate list is valuable for two important reasons: It includes names you should sell too, and it includes names that could soon present buying opportunities.
>>5 Stocks Ready for Breakouts
That's why, today, we're taking a closer look at five stocks that topped hedge funds' sell lists in the last quarter.
Why would you buy a name that pro investors hate? Often, when investors get emotionally involved with the names in their portfolios, they do the wrong thing. The big performance gap between hedge funds and the S&P 500 Index in the last year and change is proof of that. So that leaves us free to take a more sober look at the names fund managers are capitulating on.
Luckily for us, we can get a glimpse at exactly which stocks top hedge funds' hate lists by looking at 13F statements. Institutional investors with more than $100 million in assets are required to file a 13F, a form that breaks down their stock positions for public consumption.
>>5 Stocks Hedge Funds Love This Summer
From hedge funds to mutual funds to insurance companies, any professional investors who manage more than that $100 million watermark are required to file a 13F. So far, 495 hedge funds filed the form for the most recent quarter, so by comparing one period's filing to another, we can get a sneak peek at how early filers are moving their portfolios around.
Without further ado, here's a look at five stocks fund managers hate.

" A genetic disease whereby nerve tissue grows tumors. There are three diagnostic criterias, two of which have identified chromosomes. "
Firstly apologies for no adv and disadv on this review but it's not the type of review I can give them to. The star rating was also not easy. It has 3 as although it is probably best not to suffer from it it is not exactly harmful either.
Neurofibromatosis is not very well known. This is despite it being one of the most common genetic conditions in the UK. The lack of knowing about it is probably down to two things firstly it is often missed by GPs and hence many people with the condition are not aware of it and secondly for the majority of sufferers who are diagnosed it poses little or no problems to their everyday life. As I have recently been diagnosed with this condition I am mainly concentrating on Neurofibromatosis type 1. There is a second type (Type 2) which is more severe.
Me and Neurofibromatosis
Anyway I am one of the 1 in aprox 2500 people in the UK who have Neurofibromatosis type 1 (I'll call it NF1 from now on) despite my 32 years I was only recently diagnosed with it. Several GPs I have seen in the past mainly as a child would have seen what is known as 'café au lait' marks on my skin. These are really just randomly placed pigment deposits. None of them paid any attention to them and twelve years ago when I did ask my GP at the time what they were I was told 'well occasionally these things happen but it's nothing'. So onto my most recent visit to the GP I am with now. It's only the second time in 8 years I have been to see him but I made the appointment as I thought I had busted a rib. As it turns out I had pulled an intercostal muscle. He did comment on the marks and decided to refer me to the dermatology department for an expert eye.
Well at the dermo dept one of the doctors had a look at them and the two mole like things I have had for years (again dismissed as nothing by 5 GPs) she said that it might be NF1. Well she called for the consultant for a second opinion and she agreed. This was followed by bringing in the junior doctor to have a look as well. This was apparently because they don't see many cases of it. Well that is all very well but I was beginning to have the best known back in Watford.
Well they decided to do a biopsy of one of the mole like things which are known as 'nurofibromas' when the results came back it was confirmed as NF1. This lead to an appointment with a geneticist and the ophthalmologist. According to the geneticist a common symptom of NF1 is a slightly bigger head than normal. So I now have an excuse to why hats never fit me properly.
So What is it?
It is a genetic condition which can affect the nerves. The nerve tissue can grow tumours (neurofibromas) which are usually harmless but at times they can cause problems by compressing other nerves or surrounding tissue. This is a condition which affects males and females equally and it is caused by a dominant gene. The severity of the condition can vary from person to person. However, the vast majority of sufferers lead perfectly normal lives and unless they told you they had NF you wouldn't know.
The diagnosis of NF1 can be made in several ways. Some of the more common ones are the 'Café au lait' marks usually six or more in number which are bigger than 0.5 cm in young children and 1.5 cm in older children and adults and freckling in the armpits and groin are common as are lisch nodules in the iris of the eye. (I have all of these)
NF1 is the least serious form of the condition and carries few complications. The main worry some have is where the neurofibromas my appear. These however can be removed. The one I had removed was on my back and thanks to bio oil the scar is virtually not noticeable.
NF1 occurs in around 1 in 2000-3000 live births in the UK. NF2 which is the more severe form of the condition and carries greater complications occurs in 1 in aprox 80,000 live births. NF2 can in a small number of cases lead to some for of paralysis
So what are the effects?
People with Neurofibromatosis can be affected in many different ways.
1. There is a high incidence of learning difficulties in people with NF. It is believed that at least half of those with NF have learning difficulties of some type.
2. Increased chances of development of petit mal epilepsy
3. The tumors that occur can grow anywhere a nerve is present. This means that some of them grow close to the surface of the skin and will be visible and they could grow where they can cause other complications. In the latter case they are likely to be removed for the patent's safety. Ones on the skin will cause no real problems but sufferers can elect to have them removed.
So what can be done?
As the condition is genetic there is no cure for it and things like blood pressure, vision and a vision field test need to be done regularly. It is more about keeping an eye on and managing the symptoms. This may include the removal of a neurofibroma if it is necessary. So far not had any major issues with it but the check ups are always at the most inconvienient time.
Even though the neurofibromas are, at times, called tumours the vast majority are benign and less than 10% of those with NF develop a neurofibroma which is cancerous.
So how do I feel as a 'sufferer'?
Well after the annoyance of it taking over 30 years to diagnose it this really fell into feeling no different than before. Ok so I now know I have a genetic condition but when it comes down to it at least I now know what it is and what to do about it even though the name is somewhat of a mouthful. On top of that it's not as though I'm actually ill. Hence the reason I have referred to this as a condition rather than a disease. I also know that it isn't exactly going to kill me either. I think some of this was due to the fact that I did some research on the condition after I was told I had it also helped as the medical sites I looked at were helpful in finding out what it was etc. Mainly it is all the annual check ups on it that get annoying as they are always at really annoying times.
I can remember getting the micky taken out of me when I was at school due to the café au lait marks as I and no one else seamed to know what they were. Now as a adult even before the diagnosis I had begun to refer to it as a pigmentation disorder - I was nearly right. Really it is just part of who I am.

Little Big Town Debut 'Day Drinking' at 2014 CMT Music Awards [VIDEO]
Little Big Town definitely needed to touch up their makeup after their performance of their latest single, 'Day Drinking,' at last night's 2014 CMT Music Awards.
The group started out on stage dressed in all white, as was their band and the backing drumline. But towards the end of the song, band member Karen Fairchild warned, "We're about to have a little fun," as colorful neon paint sprayed all over them.
'Day Drinking' is the first single from their upcoming new album, which is the follow-up to their No. 1, platinum-selling 'Tornado' record.
"There's more pressure, but there's more confidence, too," band member Kimberly Schlapman notes. "Because we did have a very successful record, so we know we can do it, but there's pressure to do that again."
It's a big week for LBT. The quartet, which also includes Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet, are serving as the hosts for this week's annual CMA Music Fest, which kicks off today (June 5). The TV special with their behind-the-scenes footage will air on 'Country's Night to Rock' on ABC on Aug. 5.
The foursome will spend much of the summer on the road, including stops in Florida, North Carolina and Oklahoma. You can find a list of all of their upcoming concerts here and download 'Day Drinking' here.

Accommodation summary
|Travessa dos Inglesinhos, 1200 Lisbon, ポルトガル
The Apartment
This is a modern and cozy apartment, full of character and light, set on the first floor (Drto) of an ancient typical Lisbon building in the trendy and vibrant Bairro Alto, known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. This apartment is part of a group of 7 apartments that we have in this building.
The apartment has one bedroom with a double bed, and a double sofa bed in the living room, a nice bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, ready to cook home made meals. Towels and linens at your disposal are included in the price and satelite Tv and wireless internet as well.
To set forth on a discovery of Lisbon, there is no better place to begin: the tram a few steps away, international brand shops at Chiado and the more daring fashions in Bairro Alto, where you also have the trendiest restaurants of Lisbon. Bica neighbourhood, close by, is becoming a night haven for artists and intellectuals. But this does not destroy the calm and charm of Rua das Chagas. For theatre and opera lovers there are three theatre houses at a five minute distance, S. Carlos, S. Luiz and Trindade Theatres.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to see.
Luís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.
Walk the streets with care, the movement on the sidewalks is always heavy and the trams are constantly passing.
You are in Lisbon. And Lisbon never stops
ハウスルール-Check-in is after 17:00 p.m.
-You should leave the apartment until 12:00 in the morning.
-We will provide you with our contact details after your reservation is confirmed.
- The codes to enter at the apartment will be provided 3 days before your arrival.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit! :) jederzeit wieder.
La atención en todo momento fue fantástica tanto por teléfono como en persona.
El piso estaba impecable, con sábanas y toallas para todos perfectamente dispuestas.
La localización inmejorable en Bairro Alto, junto a la calle Rua da Rosa. No había aparcamiento en la misma calle, pero encontramos un parking a 13€/dia a dos minutos del piso, así que allí lo dejamos tres días.
Muy recomendable, sin duda.
Super unkompliziert gewesen bei der Anreise. Alles wichtige vorher per Mail erhalten, Wohnung wie im Internet abgebildet. Sauber und sehr zentral. Sehr schöne Wohnung!
Jederzeit wieder
gutes Apartment, sehr zentral, gute öffentliche Verkehrsanbindung, Supermarkt in der Nähe
Küche einfach ausgestattet, könnte mehr Geschirr, Töpfe etc geben, Geschirr war nicht sauber, sehr hellhörig
Casa molto carina, pulita, ben attrezzata, con tutti i comfort. Posizione ottima nel cuore della città.
Attenzione solo a chi ha problemi motori, la casa ha parecchie scale e scalette e per muoversi verso i luoghi principali bisogna affrontare stradine ripide e numerosi scalini (il tutto però nello stile puro di Lisbona). Altra piccola annotazione: a giugno vicinissimo a casa c'è un centro ricreativo in piena attività, molto suggestivo e popolare, ma anche un po' rumoroso fino a tarda notte.
Noi siamo stati per tre notti e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Se dovessimo tornare ci piacerebbe soggiornare nuovamente in una casetta così.
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
Schönes Apartment, genau richtig für zwei Personen. Gute Lage und Lautstärke am Wochenende ging auch. Natürlich bekommt man Geräusche mit, aber die Lage und Ausstattung machen das Appartement trotzdem sehr gut! Immer wieder gern :)
Wir waren zu viert in der Wohnung. Perfekte Lage, etwas hellhörig, aber seinen Preis absolut wert. Einfache und perfekte Abwicklung mit dem Vermieter.
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.

The Stauffer Chemical Co (Tampa) site is located in Tampa, Florida. It includes the area where an agricultural chemical product formulation, packaging and distribution facility operated from 1951 to 1986. EPA placed the site on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1996 because of contaminated groundwater, sediment, soil and surface water resulting from facility operations. EPA, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the site's potentially responsible party (PRP) have investigated site conditions and taken steps to clean up the site in order to protect people and the environment from contamination. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living and working near the site. By treating and monitoring groundwater, enforcing institutional controls and conducting required Five-Year Reviews, EPA, FDEP and the site's PRP continue to protect people and the environment from site contamination.

Your Travel Personality Is: The Sophisticate
You're well educated and cultured, and the places you travel to reflect that.
You appreciate the best art, food, architecture, and local flavor.
A true traveler, you are destined to be multi-lingual and very worldly.
What's Your Travel Personality?
Hah! I wish! Although I've been traveling/will be traveling a number of times these days, will post the pictures some time (but not any time soon, the photos have whacked on me :P). I do love to travel though, and if it was earthly possible, I'd visit just about every place here on Earth (I wish! I haven't even gone to every region in my country!)
Just some of the places on my must-visit list: Paris, Ireland, Italy, London, South Korea, Brazil, places in Africa where there are safaris, as well as other areas where I can go and do nature trekking. Just no extreme sports please, because I have a fear of heights.:p

hannah waldron interview
top image: furoshiki design for link collective japan, photo martin holtkamp
hannah waldron is a british artist and designer that works between stockholm and london. her work explores the textures, patterns, forms and structures of her surroundings, and has an interest in the development of landscape over time.
DB: please could you tell us briefly about your background?
HW: I graduated with a degree from the university of brighton in 2007 in illustration and spent the next three years exploring that field, working on a variety of different projects and producing prints and books and exhibiting. in 2010 I spent 6 months in berlin where I discovered the woven work of anni albers and gunta stolzl at the bauhaus archive and fell in love with their work.
on returning to london a friend who had studied some weaving was looking at my work and suggested that my mark making, which used a grid structure with a lot of horizontal and vertical lines and hatching would translate well in to the process of weaving. she gave me a quick lesson and I was hooked. I bought a small loom and began experimenting and immediately could see lots of potential for exploring ideas in that process.
NYC furoshiki
DB: how would your describe your style?
I am interested in the reflection and mapping of experiences particularly in relation to places. I draw upon a personal visual vocabulary of forms and mark-making that aim to distill information into its most essential with the aim to make images that communicate broadly and that might lead to personal interpretation.
venice furoshiki
DB: what has been your most challenging brief to date?
HW: I just completed a map for the edinburgh art festival which I found very challenging because normally my maps are my own interpretation of places, without too much need for accuracy and obviously this map has to be really precise and user friendly. so it was good to stretch my brain in that direction. but I think every brief is challenging as each other because you always want to do your best and push on a bit further with every job.
map tapestries
DB: how do you see your work evolving in the future?
HW: in the past few years I have been realising that by studying and experimenting with different materials I can let my images travel into different processes, so recently it has been in textiles, both printed and in woven structures. in the future I will explore other materials and would also like to investigate how my work can relate to spaces and interiors, I've done some site specific work but I would like to collaborate more in this way as I find it very rewarding to work with other people in different fields.
kreuzberg tapestry
DB: what medium / material do you enjoy working with the most?
HW: at the moment it's weaving and in particular the tapestry technique. it's like painting for me. it's a linear and technical process so it's quite methodical and controlled but also rhythmic and full of joy. I enjoy the constraints of working within the grid but there is so much freedom for what can happen within that space.
houshi onsen skecthes and materials
DB: what are the main differences between art and illustration for you?
HW: I am not really interested in disciplinary boundaries.
houshi onsen tapestry on the loom
DB: who or what has influenced your work the most?
HW: I really got a lot out of looking at the artefacts of different civilsations and practises outside of my culture and then tracing that aesthetic back to cultural differences while also seeing universal values. I am very interested in japanese storytelling and also the values of modernist thinking and distilling information down to its most essential.
houshi onsen tapestry on the loom
DB: how do you think the popularity of online resources have influenced design being produced today?
HW: there's a lot out there and a lot looking the same! but it's hard to say if that's always been the case and now you just are aware of it more, or if people are looking too much at each other. I definitely think there is a zeitgeist which we are all influenced by, but as long as you are not just looking at these resources, and you have your own unique influences outside then it's good that these resources exist.
houshi onsen tapestry
DB: besides your professional work – what do you have a passion for?
HW: at the moment just learning as much as I can, aside from textiles etc. I'm trying to get a fuller understanding of the systems and the mechanisms of the world and how we can try to imagine alternative and hopefully better ways of doing things, and how the skills I am trying to achieve now can be useful to others. and of course all the regular stuff that makes life good, if I can go swimming in a lake or the sea or riding my bike down a big hill often enough then I'm happy.
hannah waldron with her houshi onsen tapestry
DB: what is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
HW: be honest and question everything.

The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks are not included in the Killeen Independent School District history curriculum, but local schools will be observing the significance of the event Monday.
"It's more of a commemorative thing because it did set in motion a series of events that have affected many of our loved ones, and many of these children's parents are involved with that," said Susan Holley, KISD superintendent of education services.
Therefore, every school in the district is hosting an event to remember 9/11. Each campus has different activities, some featuring freedom walks and others having poster contests or military speakers. But all of them are taking time out of regular school activities, according to information provided by KISD's public information office.
In preparation for these events, Holley said it is up to each teacher to choose an appropriate way to discuss the terrorists attacks with his or her students.
"It is such a sensitive thing for so many people ... certainly there would be lively discussions in our high school classes, but for our younger ones, it's more commemorative," she said.
