Major symptoms include growths on and under the skin; skin pigmentations called café au lait spots in type 1; acoustic nerve tumors and consequent hearing loss in type 2.

More On This Topic: Buy Best Air Compressor Online byAlma Abell Few things have the potential to bring about a greater sense of Pride or Prejudice among homeowners than the lawns they keep. On the one hand, a beautiful, verdant lawn is the dream of countless millions of homeowners, not just in America, of course, but around the world.

Thursday, July 29, 2010File:Loya7.jpg A Tennessee politician has been criticised by Islamic groups and Islamic leaders by suggesting that Islam is a cult and is therefore ineligible for protection under the first amendment of the United States constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion. Though Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey, at a campaign stop in Chattanooga earlier in the month, said he’s “all about freedom of religion”, he also said that “[y]ou could even argue whether that being a Muslim is actually a religion, or is it a nationality, way of life, cult or whatever you want to call it”.

Ramsey’s comments have been scrutinized by groups all over the country, while Ramsey’s…
