1. Cushions & Throws
Now we aren't trying to be bias, but one of the easiest ways to incorporate more colour and give any room that extra lift, is with a few cushions and throws.

4. Lighting & Accessories
As much as good lighting can make the difference and create the perfect mood for your home, the same can also be said for those little extras we scatter about the place.

Wrestling is one of the oldest competitive sports still practiced today. Almost as soon as man could walk upright, he had to defend his territory and fight for food and that often involved wrestling. Wrestling can be defined as a combat sport that involves grappling, throws, locks, chokes and pins; while most forms of wrestling do not permit punching and kicking.
Types of Wrestling
An international as well as a traditional sport, there are many forms of wrestling. Almost every country in the world has a type of wrestling that is unique. Some, like Sumo and Judo from Japan, are very well-known but catch wrestling from Lancashire, England is less so.
In one form or another, wrestling has been part of the modern Olympics, since their inception in 1896 and also featured in the ancient Olympics. Recently, wrestling was in danger of being dropped from the program; but luckily for wrestling, this ancient sport earned a reprieve and will again be part of the Olympics.
While there are many forms of wrestling, the types of wrestling seen in the Olympics are Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle. The main difference between these two disciplines is that in Greco-Roman wrestling, you are not allowed to grab your opponent around the legs or use your legs for offence or defence, whereas in freestyle wrestling you can.
Rules vary from one type of wrestling to another, but the basic premise for all forms of wrestling are the same – throw your opponent on their back and hold them there. Also, points are awarded for things like takedowns, reversals and showing technical superiority so that if no fall occurs, one of the wrestlers can be awarded victory by the referee.
Benefits of Wrestling
Wrestling is predominately an anaerobic sport that can develop strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, core strength and power. Very energetic, wrestling can burn upward of 600 calories per hour making it a great way to manage your weight.
The ability to maintain a low centre of gravity, keep your balance, defend against and elude your opponent's attacks are also important skills that wrestling can help develops.
In many ways, a wrestling match is not unlike a game of chess; as each wrestler tries to out manoeuvre his opponent. This helps improve mental acuity, strategic thinking, and determination too.
Some of the added benefits of wrestling include:
- Increased metabolism leading to weight loss and/or maintenance of healthy body weight
- Greater flexibility and strength
- Improved fitness and endurance
- Development of confidence, self-discipline and determination
- Competitive strategies and critical thinking
Wrestling and MMA
Wrestling is an intrinsic part of MMA, as many MMA fighters use wrestling techniques to take an opponent down and control them on the ground. Many MMA fighters have a strong wrestling background, and some wrestlers have gone on to achieve great accolades in the MMA arena, including Brock Lesner, Bob Sapp and Ken Shamrock.
Wrestling Safety
No sport is entirely safe, especially concerning martial arts, but the lack of striking in wrestling means that this sport is safer than many. Participants train with people of a similar weight and level of experience, which further reduces the risk. Wrestling techniques are non-lethal, and a tap-out, a sign of submission, brings the move to an end before injury can be sustained.
Warming up and training under the close supervision of an experienced coach will also significantly reduce the risk of injury. If you are in Brisbane and want to try out wrestling under the supervision of one of our qualified coaches, be sure to come in to Arena Fitness MMA in Springwood or contact us.
Wrestling is suitable for men, women and children and participants are generally paired with opponents of a similar size, weight and build to make training as safe and beneficial as possible.
Learning to Wrestle
Whether you want to compete in wrestling, want to add it to your MMA repertoire or are simply looking for a great way to get and stay in shape, the best way to learn this dynamic sport is to train with a professional coach. Doing so will reduce your risk of injury to a minimum and ensure you learn how to apply the techniques of wrestling properly.
You don't need lots of expensive equipment or fancy clothing to enjoy wrestling – unrestrictive workout clothes and flat athletic shoes are sufficient to begin with. And don't forget your sweat towel and water bottle – you'll need them both!
Try wrestling for FREE!
Still not sure whether wrestling is for you? No problem! Why not come in and try one of our free wrestling classes in Springwood, at Arena Fitness MMA. Check out our other locations in the Brisbane area to find the best Arena for your training.
As famous wrestling coach Dan Gable once said, "More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill – none have wrestled without pride."

In May 2016, a poster started making rounds on social media. It bore information that American RnB superstar, Chris Brown, was coming to Kenya. This was quickly brushed off with claims that Chris Brown was too expensive for Kenyan showbiz. The poster also alleged that Kenyans would part with KSh20,000 for a VIP ticket and KSh10,000 for a regular ticket when the concert came to be.
However, according to Tuko, Mombasa Governor, Hassan Joho, will be bringing the American superstar to Mombasa for a concert.Brown will be joined by Nigeria's star, Wizkid.
According to Tuko, Joho plans to revolutionize the party scene in Mombasa in a bid to attract investors and open up the county for more business opportunities.
Among the emcees who will headline the show will be KTN's Jamal Gadaffi who is very close to the Mombasa Governor. There is even a rumour that the young TV host is being groomed to join politics.

My Old Hollywood
In October 2015 Lena Kasparian organised an Old Hollywood inspired photo shoot to showcase her designs. Ms Kasparian wanted to portray the charm and elegance of the Golden Age of cinema. The Golden Age was a period of time that began in the late 1920s to the 1960s. Therefore the classical Hollywood style of the period was Lena's creative vision behind the shoot. The photo shoot was held at a private estate in Oatlands in and photographed by Rizz O Graphy.
The shoot preparation began at 9am on a Sunday morning, with the female models getting ready with their hair and make up, including Lena helping out the MUA team with applying primer on the girls eyes. While the male models arrived around 10am, where they had their suit fittings and accessories. As the style behind the photo shoot was old school glamour the girls had there hair put in Hollywood curls and their make up was a classic winged eye with bright red lips. While the models were getting prepared morning tea was provided throughout the day including a cheese and deli platter, fresh fruit, sandwiches, croissants, scones and doughnuts.
By 11am, the first group of models were ready, the photo shoot dresses were in order and accessories laid out, all ready to go once the photographer arrived. As the photographer was setting up, the models prepared for the first shot by the stairway in the elegant home. The narrative behind this shot was the party guest listening to classical jazz music and chatting as they waited for the ladies up stairs to come down. The second shot was by the grand piano were the party guest played and sang along to the piano.
Once all the girls had there hair and makeup complete they were assigned their outfits for the outdoor shots. The outdoor shots included the guest hanging by the pools, playing a game of tennis and socialising in the courtyard. Other shots included photos of the guests arriving in style in a bright orange Lamborghini and a shot inside with all the guests dancing and singing around the grand piano. The final shot was Lena Kasparian herself with all her glamorous girls in the sitting room.
Lena directed and styled every shot creating sophisticated shots that radiated old Hollywood glamour. The photo shot was unarguable a fun and enjoyable day for all who made the shoot possible and thanks to everyone's professionalism and diligence the photo shoot was competed on schedule by 3pm. We encourage you to browse through the photo gallery of the Old Hollywood Shoot to experience the elegance of the day.

Four-Course certificate Program on Cardiovascular Therapeutic Products
This unique program will instruct participants on pathways to facilitate and expedite potentially therapeutic products from conceptualization to clinical application. It is the only course in the world designed to help you move your research from the lab to market through the regulatory process!
The Cardiovascular Translational Science and Medicine program is composed of four courses: Introduction, Devices, Drugs and Biologics. Our panel of educators are international experts in cardiology, academia, industry and regulatory and reimbursement agencies. Participants will benefit from having leaders and experts in all aspects of the process of developing, testing and marketing their research.
The Devices course will be available in spring 2019. Drugs and Biologics courses will be offered in the fall of 2019 and spring of 2020. Participants can choose in which of these three pathway courses to enroll based on their interests and responsibilities. Digital badges will be awarded upon completion of each course for recognition of your accomplishments on various electronic platforms.
The office of Continuing and Professional Education is offering this fully online; asynchronous curriculum will begin in March 2018 with the required Introduction to Cardiovascular Translational Science and Medicine course.
Introduction to Cardiovascular Translational Science and Medicine
An international team of world-renowned presenters from academia, industry, the FDA and health care providers instruct participants in pathways to facilitate and expedite potentially therapeutic products from conceptualization to clinical application. This course includes modules on topics ranging from pathophysiology, statistics, clinical practice guidelines and intellectual property to 3D-printing and the role of Medicare and Medicaid in development and innovation.
Course Date:
- Fall 2019.
- For registration, contact Patricia Cook.
Cardiovascular Science and Medicine Devices Course
The course is designed to improve our knowledge to enhance the implementation of translation pathways, expediting potential cardiovascular therapeutic devices from conceptualization to clinical application. This process requires 10 to 12 years — in part, because of the obligatory expertise of many distinct stakeholders who are approached sequentially as development proceeds. This contrasts to a parallel assessment in the early stage based on consultation from all of the stakeholders required to go from development to the bedside. The unique feature of this program is to bridge this gap by having all of the stakeholders participate and impart their knowledge based on their expertise and decades of experience. The educators are an international group selected from academia, industry, regulatory and reimbursement agencies. They are world renowned for their expertise in cardiovascular devices, having experience in all phases — development, pre-clinical assessment, clinical assessment, regulatory assessment, reimbursement and post-marketing evaluation. Educators for this course include: Dr. Zuckerman, director of Cardiovascular Devices (FDA), Dr. Chuck Simonton, chief medical officer for Abbott and Dr. Magdi Yacoub, world renowned for his cardiac transplantation.
Course Date:
- Fall 2019.
- For registration, contact Patricia Cook.
These courses are a collaboration between the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix and the International Society for Cardiovascular Translational Research (ISCTR).

text: The decision to have my eyes lasered was honestly one of the best decisions of my life. I only wish that I had done it earlier. I was kept informed at every step of the way and at no time was there any pressure to proceed. The procedure was quick and absolutely painless. It took only just over a day for my eyes to return to normal, except of course with their new 20-20 vision! I have honestly forgotten that I was ever short-sighted. I researched my surgeon Mr Pillai and I am certain that I picked the very best practitioner in the field. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any future patients as I have done to all my work colleagues. It is definitely worth paying for the best.

The Inmates Are Now Devising Our Energy Policies
Your in-depth editorial "That Stagflation Show" (June 9) shows a direct correlation to the crude oil prices and the Federal Reserve funds rate. However, you miss the most important part of the equation.
America is the largest crude oil consumer in the world; it is also the largest oil importer. The more oil it imports, the higher America's trade deficit becomes and therefore the cheaper the dollar becomes.

Capital raising via equities falls 55% to USD2.4 bn in Jan-Mar
"Follow-on offerings captured majority of the equity capital markets activity with USD 2.42 billion worth of proceeds, a 54.6 per cent drop from first quarter of 2013, and accounted for 99.4 per cent of the market activity in Q1 of 2014," Thomson Reuters said in a report. This is the lowest first quarter period in terms of proceeds amount since 2011 when volume fell to USD 2.15 billion, it said. Initial public offerings totalled USD 13.50 million, a significant drop of 84 per cent in proceeds compared to USD 84.30 billion in the first quarter last year.
"This is the lowest quarterly level in terms of proceeds since first quarter of 2009 when it stood at USD 4.90 million," the report said. Investment banks Citi and JP Morgan were at the top spot in equity and equity-linked league table in the first quarter, each capturing 22 per cent of the market activity with related proceeds of USD 535.7 million from three deals. Equity and equity-linked capital raisings have generated imputed fees worth USD 9.44 million so far this year, a 50.2 per cent decline over the same period last year, it added.

John's experience with Q Magnets and pain.
I have been using the Quadrapolar technology for several years as a means to reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis in multiple joints. I was somewhat skeptical to start with but the fact of the matter is that my pain reduces when I have these on and I can return to doing the majority of the activities I enjoy.
The 2nd key aspect for those in the medical community is that the research and evidence behind this technology is rapidly accumulating and can't be overlooked. If you are involved with anyone who has a painful condition then I thoroughly recommend that you start using the quadrapolar technology at Q-Magnets. You won't be disappointed either as a practitioner or someone has ongoing pain.

I was very thrilled to read Nick Smith's review in the Charleston City Paper of the group Show, "Yellow Versus Blue" at Robert Lange Studios. Specifically, his last two paragraphs: : ) "Surprisingly, nothing seems out of place amidst the trippy acrylics, solid oils, fabric collages and abstract images on display. The regulated color scheme helps. Even more surprisingly, the most traditional paintings are also the most memorable: Kerry Brooks' cinematic close-ups, Amy Lind's portraits, and Joshua Flint's Grand Central Station scenes are full of life and feeling.
Brimming with vigor and confidence, this show has deservedly become RLS' most popular group show so far. A sequel is in the planning stages. Is anyone up for Brown Versus Pink?"

Day 7 in NYC: Stocking Up on Groceries and Dinner/
So after a long day in Hoboken and an amazing Broadway show the night before, we decided to take it kinda easy the following day. We also decided to do much more practical non-touristy stuff. This meant a trip to Costco to stock up on supplies for my 4 month stay in NYC. If you go to my vlog channel on YouTube, the video of my Costco trip should be up soon. This also allowed me to find the nearest Ulta and T.J. Maxx LOL. Later that night we decided to take my now former roommate(and host) out for dinner as an advanced Thank You. We ended up going to an Italian restaurant in the neighborhood were I got some seafood entree and salivated over dessert. I also had an Irish coffee which is basically a coffee spiked with Whiskey (that was their version). Other than that our day was pretty basic. Enjoy the food porn :)
Sorry for the bad quality of the pics by the way, they were taken in low light on my phone.

What began as an inconvenience turned into one of my more amazing trips. Instead of remaining within the city, I explored the countryside…

Reason 410 Why I Love Morocco: An hour-long session with the barber for a trim and a straight-razor shave, where the most extreme care is taken about even the smallest detail, runs me $1.50. Plus, as an added bonus, I come out looking über-handsome.

There are lots of people in the world today that have belongings of their own, and when it comes to these belongings, it is very important for people to safeguard them all the time. This is because the personal property of other people must not get to the hands of other people as well since they are personal. This is why locks were created in the first place. This is because there are lots of cabinets and other places where people can hide their stuff from other people, but they cannot shut it out or lock it because there was nothing they could use, but with the creation of locks, people can now keep their things safe and stored somewhere they know no one can get to it because it has locks protecting it. Locks are a good thing, they can protect people and things all the time. However, there are instances where locks also become a problem. This is because locks can sometimes jam or break which is a bad thing, especially if the lock cannot be unlocked. This is where locksmiths come in. Learn more about Commercial Locksmith In San Antonio or Click For More information on getting the best locksmith services.
Locksmiths are people who are very skilled and experienced when it comes to locks. This basically means that locksmiths are the kind of people that study locks and how they work, they are also the ones that make locks all the time. There are lots of locksmiths all over the world these days. The best locksmiths in the country are usually found in San Antonio Texas. Now when it comes to hiring locksmiths to unlock broken locks, there are some qualities that people need to look at first before they hire them. This is because not all locksmiths are that good when it comes to their jobs which is why people need to choose them properly. The first thing that people need to find when it comes to locksmiths is that they are licensed professionals. This means that the locksmith has all the paperwork and credentials that can verify them as a licensed locksmith. If a certain locksmith cannot provide this, then they are not licensed at all. Experience is also another thing when it comes to a good locksmith. This means that the locksmith knows the things that they are doing because they have done it lots of times and they already know what the necessary steps are to do when it comes to fixing locks.

I come from a long line of artsy crafters. I remember my grandmother helping me build a homemade tissue box out of construction paper when I was home from school sick one day. I'm pretty sure that was the first 3D paper project I ever created!
Ever since I was a kid, I've had a thing for paper. And for making things. It all started with my sticker book in the early 80's. I've dabbled in lots of other crafts since then, but I always come back to playing with paper. When the Cricut was first released, I HAD to have one! Paper crafting sure has come a long way.
Over the past year or so, I've fallen in love with making 3D paper projects. They are fun to build and even more fun to personalize. And you can't beat the look of amazement on somebody's face when you give them the most amazing birthday card or a gift in a box that you made by hand, just for them.
I've been meaning to post some of these projects online for the longest time and figure there's no time like the present!

Moving house is usually assigned as a stressful time. It's when you've got to put a lot of effort into making sure all your possessions are packed up and safely transported, even when you have a car that's too small. You've got to make sure you've still got the essentials in easy reach, and you've got to make sure all the prices are correct and absolutely no agreements fall through. And that's a lot for one person to manage when they're moving on their own, let alone having a whole family relying on you as well to sort things out!
But moving house is an incredibly exciting time as well, and that's what you should focus on! Don't let yourself doubt that! Sometimes improving your home just isn't possible, or would be way more demanding on your budget than just up and leaving, so don't feel bad about not sticking out with your DIY skills! So with all that in mind, let's look at a couple of the reasons why you should look forward to moving.
You Get to Decorate However You Want!
It might seem like a small point now, but you have an entire house to coat top to bottom in your own personality. You've got a bedroom to make comfortable, cozy, and warm. You have got a kitchen to sit down with friends and family within it, and that means making sure there's plenty of room and a welcoming atmosphere. You did get a living room to show of all your trinkets in and to be a gathering place people want to sit down in, no matter how much they hate socializing otherwise. When you think of all the creative freedom there, it really is quite an exciting prospect!
Not to mention you've got the exterior of your house to perfect as well! You've got siding to powerwash and make look good as new, and you've got a door that's going to need a new lick of paint as well.
You Can Get Professional Help!
And that means at least 25% of the hard work has been knocked off! If you don't have the vehicle to make the moving process less time, and fuel, consuming, make sure you look into hiring someone for the trouble. It's money efficient, and it means you're not going to ruin your own car in an effort to just shove one more box in…
There's a lot of companies out there who could help you here, but you want to be able to find the best deal and the most convenience for your money. Use sites like that of Find Movers Now to cut out any doubt here, and to make your search a lot easier to get on with.
Hopefully, this post inspired you and your creativity, and can make you look forward to a lot more of the reasons why moving is an exciting time that you should enjoy. Don't let the stress eat you up, and always look to the positive!

Auditor General Sue Winspear has flagged government's slow implementation of recommendations from her office's reports, some dating back as far as 2015.
On Monday (5 November) Ms. Winspear released her follow-up on past Public Accounts Recommendations report.
In it, she said out of the eight reports produced by her office only recommendations in two of them have been fully implemented.
"I am also concerned that some of the original recommendations with limited or no progress to date, go back as far as May 2015 and that implementation dates for some recommendations continue to be rescheduled into the future," said Ms. Winspear.

This mixture of dried marijuana and chemicals is extremely dangerous because it is so extreme.
Synthetic marijuana is more accessible to kids than the real thing. IT is also more dangerous. This drug often called "herbal" and other names that suggest its actually a natural product. Unfortunately Its completely misleading beacause its synthetic. Dried herbs&spicies are marinated in some kind of synthetic drugs, they dry it out and sell it as a natural alternative to marijuana.
The chemicals that recreate the high in synthetic marijuana create a much stronger high. This leads to severe problems mentally and physically.
Marijuana has not been legalized by Australia because of a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision. Doctors have seen that occasionally, marijuana use produces anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic.
Marijuana have a higher risk of getting lung cancer and other cancers to parts of the respiratory tract because marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke, also cannabis smokers seem to have short-term memory loss because THC changes the way information is processed by the hippocampus, which is a brain area responsible for memory development.
13 states have legalized the use of natural plant marijuana for medical use.
Teens who take this mind-altering drug really have no idea the side-effects of synthetic marijuana. This is because the amount of synthetic chemicals that are used to produce the 'high' can change from batch to batch.
Fake Marijuana is being used less because of the information that it is dangerous, this has however lead to many users turning back to real marijuana. For your own good, stay away from synthetic marijuana.
Real Cannabis can be used as a medicine without adverse affects. *Apparently". Hopefully more and more states will legalize marjuana and not just for medical purposes.

Betty donned (ha!) a new dress, a towering new hairstyle and a new confidence in Rome, where she tagged along on Don's business trip and reminded us that a) she speaks Italian, due to having lived in the country during her modelling career, b) she and Don do still have chemistry. It was fun to watch them flirt at the hotel bar (shades, perhaps, of their first meeting?), and heartbreaking to watch them slip back into their old patterns as soon as they got home: Don wandering off when the children were mentioned, Betty petulant and blank-faced as Don tries to please her with a little gift. Though Betty's clearly decided to not pursue the attraction to Francis, she's still a desperately unhappy housewife and a strangely indifferent mother. ("Go play.") The shot in the mirror, where Betty applies her lipstick seemingly unaware that Sally, in that same mirror, is anxiously watching her every move, was telling. And Joan's back, via — what else? — a dress. A ruined dress brought by Pete to Bonwit Teller for exchange, as a favor-with-strings-attached to the cute German au pair in his building. (Anyone else note that the au pair is named Gertrude — as is, presumably, Pete's wife Trudi?) Pete's behavior was vile (he then used the favor to seduce and possibly rape the girl), but at least it brought us Joan again, in her new job as a salesperson (and manager?) at the department store. She solved Pete's problems with her trademark breathy efficiency, while conveying to him in a very Joan way that she knew exactly what he was up to. Turns out her husband is now considering psychiatry (ha!) as a specialty, and Joan breezily spun her new job as just temporarily "helping out," as if she's doing Bonwit's a favor. (She is.) Hmm — will Pete be spreading Joan's new circumstances around the secretarial pool come Monday morning? And how long will he and Trudi be happy? Longer than Don and Betty? No Peggy this week, and no Roger. I like how "Mad Men" spreads the storylines around, but it seems like we're always missing somebody. A few puzzlers: What was the deal with the noxious odor in the Rome Hilton hotel lobby (and how funny is it that Betty would deal with it by lighting up a cigarette)? Would Betty's speech about first kisses, to Sally, have made any sense to an eight-year-old? Doesn't that fainting couch look like it crash-landed there from some mysterious antique-furniture celestial delivery service? Anyone else think Betty, after her Roman-beauty-parlor makeover, looked exactly like a Bond Girl? Quote of the week: "When you have no power, delay." This is my new mantra concerning deadlines.

Christophe Blanc's work revolves around humans, the contemporary humans as they are, flawed and in the raw. The portrayed figures are either solitary or in a scene of a shared camaraderie, but both the scenery and the figures remain unexceptional and almost disturbing in their normality. Undefined men are seen sitting in a chair, standing idly or sharing a meal and a drink. There is a strange vulnerability surrounding Blanc's figures; an echo of a hard life, of fleeting moments of joy and pervasive solitude, and the paradoxical nature of life. At least one figure is always maintaining unwavering eye contact with the viewer, a stare that is both questioning and honest. The artist's style is expressive and the paint is rich despite the muted colours, with the texture that looks raw and scarred.
"The human strain, universal, anonymous and haunting, appears free of any backstory, stripped of all social fabric, overall scheme and all the clues allowing for deduction. A rustic and mannered, this man is our contemporary. Countless and ugly. Ordinary and forthcoming. The Blanc's man is totally drained. He finds his home in a weary chair. Seated or sprawled, slumped or dominant. He asserts, he observes and he is observed. He is stagnant. He is a source of a change. He waits for the waiting to end. He is astonishing in his immobility… No pathos, no excess, only a strong tension."
Christian Noorbergen, art critic

Gaming & Technology
'Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed' is a gas
There's just something entertaining about going 190 mph on the highway or through the city, trying to lose a throng of cops in a high-speed chase.
That seems far more appealing than driving in circles at those speeds. That's largely why, unless you count Mario Kart, I have never been a big fan of simulated-racing games. To keep playing, either you have to be a fan of NASCAR or the developers have to inject the game with enough doodads to get through a bunch of races with some desire to keep playing it.
Long-term playability can be an elusive task for sim racing, but Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed keeps your interest using a good balance between simulation and arcade. And even though you're not being chased by the cops, it works pretty well — even for someone like me.
There's a lot that Slightly Mad Studios did right with Shift 2, the second of its Shift sim-racing franchise. The first thing you will notice is that the game has stunning graphics — from the level of detail applied to all of the vehicles to the way their headlights illuminate the night. Even the roar of the engines in Shift 2 is amazing.
Shift 2 starts with a trial race, and that's a good way to ease into the game. Shift 2 doesn't offer the more than 1,000 cars that Gran Turismo 5 has, but its car selection is solid. There are 145 cars from 37 manufacturers, including BMW, Audi, Mazda and Ford. And the game offers a ridiculous amount of options for customizing them.
Each car has an authentic feel. The Mazda RX8, for example, is a peppy little car that will hold its own against most cars if it's souped up right. And a Porsche hugs corners like, well, I can only imagine it would.
Shift 2's formula for success is similar to that of Need for Speed. You win races, you get money. And then you use that money to trick out your car. In addition to the cash, you can open up other events or tracks.
The game embraces an experience point leveling system that offers rewards in five categories: cash, vinyls, cars, rims and paint. Racing is similar to any other race game being played these days. The left and right trigger buttons function as the brake and gas.
There is a slight learning curve, but the game is simple enough for anyone to jump in. It uses a concept of corner mastering, which is integrated into the heads-up display map and lets you know how well you're doing in handling the corners. That's a good way to pace yourself and improve your racing skills. Oh, and you get more experience for mastering all the corners of a track.
The helmet cam, which bobs around as you hit corners and decelerate, is a pretty cool way to play. And Shift 2 has a good variety of challenges to keep you interested. There are race variants including duel, elimination and time attack.
Electronic Arts' Need for Speed franchise has been successful, but that repeated success didn't translate too well when the company dove into the sim-racing business with its first incarnation of Shift nearly two years ago. This version is not quite as good as the Gran Turismo series, but it is an improvement over the first effort. And it has potential to give games like Turismo a good run in the future.

ObamaCare Battle: Pro-Trump group previewing attack ads on GOP Senator Heller
The pro-Trump super PAC that vowed an ad campaign against Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller within hours of him on Friday opposing the GOP's ObamaCare overhaul bill previewed its attack Saturday on social media.
"Why did @SenDeanHeller lie to voters about #RepealAndReplace? He's now with @NancyPelosi. NOT GOOD! #HellerVotesYes," tweeted America First Policies, run by former President Trump and Vice President Pence campaign staffers.
The group has bought $1 million worth of traditional ads (typically TV and radio) and is expected to start running them next week in Nevada, in addition to a digital ad campaign.
Heller is one of five GOP senators opposing the bill. The chamber has 52 GOP senators. Leaders of the GOP-controlled chamber need 51 votes to pass their ObamaCare bill. That means a maximum of two can defect, and that would require Pence to cast the deciding vote in what would be a 50-50 tie with Senate Democrats.
Heller is up for re-election in 2018 and is considered one of the most vulnerable GOP senators.
"Obamacare is collapsing. This is a crisis for the American people. There is no excuse for any Republican or Democrat to oppose the Senate health care bill outright," group President Brian Walsh said Friday. "Senator Heller ... appears to be heading down a path with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the radical left."
The other GOP senators who oppose the bill are Sens. Ted Cruz, Texas; Ron Johnson, Wisconsin; Mike Lee, Utah; and Rand Paul, Kentucky.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released the bill Thursday, which awaits a financial analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and a floor vote by as early as next week.
"This bill currently in front of the United States Senate is not the answer." Heller said Friday. "In this form, I will not support it."

As midterms come to a close, Jamesville-DeWitt High School students are putting down their textbooks and getting ready to relax over February Break. Whether they are traveling to a tropical island or they are staying at home in Syracuse, students and staff are excited for the week off.
A group of students such as junior Emily Pomeroy, sophomores Riley Burns and Sydney Baum, and freshman Ana Dieroff are lucky enough to travel over break. Pomeroy is going to New York City with sophomore Jenna Vespi. "I'm really excited to go shopping while I'm there," says Pomeroy. Sophomore Riley Burns is going with her family to her condominium in Jupiter, Florida. "My cousin and I are planning on spending most of our time on the beach and in the sun," says Burns. Senior Connor Evans and his family are also going to Florida over the break; "I'm excited to escape the cold weather for a week," he said. Unlike his traveling peers, junior Zac Ripich is headed north to Canada for break where he plans on skiing with his family.
While some students travel, winter sport athletes don't get a break, as the J-DHS Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball Teams will take on sectionals. Sophomore Meg Hair, member of the Varsity Girls Basketball team, is excited to compete in sectionals with her team. "We've made it to the state championship a couple years in a row now, so I'm confident that we will do well," says Hair. The girls have a bye for the first round of sectionals because they are the No. 1 seed in New York State, so their first game will be in the quarterfinal of sectionals against the victor of the Oneida vs. Homer game. The game is scheduled for Feb.16 at Onondaga Community College at 6 pm. The Boys Varsity Basketball team also has a first round sectional game against Cortland that will take place on Feb. 12 at J-DHS at 7 pm.
The Girls and Boys Indoor Track team both recently won the sectional title for Section lll. With a few athletes going to State Qualifiers, they will continue their hard work over the break. Those that will be continuing to compete consist of freshman Sophia Vinciguerra, sophomore Alex Payne, junior Hannah Butler, seniors Nolan Roosa, Jan Ramirez, and Casey Keane on Feb. 24 at OCC at 4:30 pm.

Exploring the Inspiration Behind Woven Pieces
One of my favorite parts about working for Handwoven is learning about the inspiration behind certain pieces. I know my own thought process when I design and how I go about picking colors and narrowing down weave structure and final drafts. Sometimes I spend hours plotting and planning as I make color wraps, experiment with different drawdowns, and ask everyone their opinions on whether the gray warp I've chosen looks better with navy or admiral blue.
Other times it seems as if the project already exists, it's just waiting for me to hurry up and weave it. I have a skein of beautiful golden Muga silk and two skeins of purple Bombyx silks that keep shouting at me to turn them into a set of twill scarves. I keep trying to explain that I have towels on the loom, and when I finish those I have another set of towels that must go on first so they can become (very late) wedding presents. The silks refuse to listen and still call me whenever I pass by my stash. (As much as I try to resist, I have a feeling that after towel grouping #1 is done, I will have to give in and spend a weekend playing with silk.)
In the newest issue of Handwoven, May/June 2015, there are plenty of great stories about how the different projects came to be, but my favorite by far is the cover project "Snakeskin Scarf" by David Wismar. The beautiful 8-shaft twill scarf is an absolute stunner in shimmering gold and cool black Tencels. Having seen this piece in person, I can tell you it does look just like snakeskin, but far more comfortable to wear around the neck and much more snake-friendly than the real thing. (As a gardener in the desert, I am an avowed snake-lover as these lovely reptiles gobble up the wee beasties that attack my carrots and zucchini.)
Similarly, Dianne Totten took inspiration from a colorful tropical bird for her 4-shaft Parrot Plumage Crimped Scarf. Not only did Dianne take inspiration from the colors of a macaw, but she also used crimp cloth techniques to mimic the texture of the feathers. Woven in silk and Tencel, this scarf is also a stunner that calls out to be touched.
On a completely different note, Elisabeth Hill found inspiration for her Danish Rosette Towels from a historic draft in a Danish weaving book. Thankfully for those of us who aren't lucky enough to have access to Vavstuga Weaving School's library of Scandinavian weaving books, Elisabeth's set of 8-shaft deflected doubleweave towels gives us everything we need to weave a set of showstopper towels. The warm Moroccan colors work perfectly with the Scandinavian draft, and as a lover of all things deflected doubleweave, I am especially smitten.
Just writing about all these amazing projects and their varied inspirations makes me want to take off work early and play at my loom and in my stash. Once you start weaving (or any other sort of art) you learn that inspiration is everywhere if you take the time to look.
Happy Weaving!

Ending our lifelong dilemma of attempting to stick (somewhat) to a healthy diet whilst attempting to maintain a social life, one of our favourite restaurants in Northern Ireland Fratelli, has gone and introduced what we previously believed to be impossible.
They are introducing delicious – yet health conscious – options to their menu…
Fratelli, which has restaurants in both Belfast and Ballymena, is teaming up with fitness and nutrition programme Shrink to bring a foodie revolution to eating out for diners here.
The popular Italian eatery is expanding its menu of mouth-watering dishes to include meals devised by Shrink founder Estelle Wallace, and is aimed at health-conscious restaurant goers who still want to enjoy their food, but don't want to overload on calories.
The new guilt-free additions to the Fratelli menu include pizzas with a cauliflower base and a wide range of toppings, and instead of pasta, diners can enjoy spiralled vegetables with a choice of slow braised beef, Bolognese or fiery chilli prawns with tomato.
In further good news – dessert is still on the menu too, and Ballymena-based mum of one Estelle – who has been providing expert fitness and nutritional advice for 15 years – says it's all about making the right choices. Estelle explained:
"Diners are in for a treat as this new menu is amazing and caters for a host of taste buds, while complementing the existing and fantastic food on offer at Fratelli!
"Steaks, chicken, pizza, pasta made with julienned veg and cute tangy desserts are all designed to expand the taste buds but not the waist line."
One of Estelle's clients recently lost an impressive ten stone following the plan, and Estelle says re-educating people about what constitutes as "diet" food is essential in developing a healthy approach to eating:
"I'm really excited to be working with Fratelli and giving their guests the option to eat healthy whilst socialising, and they have done an outstanding job on the menu, it's fresh, nutritious and delicious."
The Shrink partnership is the latest venture for Fratelli and will feature on both the main menu and that of the hugely popular Ladies' Night events at the restaurants which offer a main course and a glass of wine for only £12.
Restaurant Manager Michael Johnston says the new additions to the menu offer the tastes that Fratelli is famous for, with a modern twist.
"Our traditional Italian food has proved a huge hit with diners since we opened, and these new dishes which Estelle has helped create look set to become firm favourites on our already extensive menu. We aim to cater for all tastes, and are delighted that Estelle and the Shrink ethos are now part of the Fratelli experience."

21 Natural Cold Remedies That Really Work
Turn your kitchen cabinet into a medicine cabinet with these natural cold remedies, featuring herbs, spices, and other everyday options, to stifle the sniffles and more
Although oregano is best known for giving pizza and pasta an extra kick, Patrick Fratellone, MD, a leading integrative medicine doctor and registered herbalist with the American Herbal Guild, recommends reaching for this herb to treat a hacking cough. "Oregano is a powerhouse of flu-fighting properties, since it's antibacterial, antifungal, and an antioxidant, and it can also be used as an expectorant to treat lung or respiratory conditions," says Dr. Fratellone.
You could take an oregano capsule twice a day with meals, but if all you have on hand is a bottle of the dried herb, you can make an oregano tea: Pour eight ounces of boiling water over one teaspoon of dried oregano and let stand for ten minutes. If the taste is too bitter, add some raw honey. Aim to drink two cups a day. This elixir can also be used topically to treat skin infections and calm down an upset stomach. Check out 10 natural cold remedies that are always worth trying.
This woody aromatic herb in your culinary closet has secret powers besides flavoring oatmeal and cookies, and deserves to be on your list of natural cold remedies. Because of cinnamon's antifungal and analgesic properties, Dr. Fratellone uses it to treat bronchitis. It tends to be warming for the body, and it dilates your blood vessels, he says. (Cinnamon also lowers blood sugar concentration and improves insulin sensitivity, which is why it is also being used to treat people who have diabetes.) If you're looking to fight a bug with natural cold remedies, create a cinnamon tea by pouring boiling water over the herb into a cup. Dr. Fratellone recommends one cup two or three times a day. You can also sprinkle it on your food or in your latte.
This stinky plant does way more than flavor your tomato sauce. Garlic is antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial, says clinical herbalist and New York City–based founder of Urban Herbalist Steve Sietos. "When you have yellow or green phlegm, reach for that garlic. It's highly antiviral, immune stimulating, and it'll kill any upper respiratory infections," he says. Garlic is great medicine for yeast infections and urinary tract infections, too, according to research from the Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences in India.
To use it as an elixir, take a clove of fresh garlic. Press or chop it, and let it sit for 15 minutes. When the garlic reacts with air, a chemical reaction transforms the clove into a powerful antibiotic, says Sietos, who also treats pets with herbs. He says that if you spread garlic and olive oil on a piece of bread or mix it with olive oil, it'll knock out any upper respiratory infections. Here are 14 more of the best foods for a cold.
Ginger is a muscle relaxant, or an antispasmodic, which means it may have the power to stop the spasm of coughing. It also stimulates the immune system. "When you have a clear phlegm, not green or yellow, take ginger to warm up the system," Sietos says. Slice fresh ginger into silver-dollar slices and simmer it in fresh water for 20 minutes; then drink it like tea. Add a cinnamon stick or a squeeze of lemon. "You'll notice the cough goes away pretty quickly," says Sietos. And if your stomach is feeling queasy, ginger can help with nausea, too, according to a study in the British Journal of Anesthesia. Also try these other natural cough treatments for relief.
One of the more unpleasant cold symptoms is that achy, restless feeling that makes it difficult to sleep, even though you feel exhausted. When that happens, head to your spice stash and pull out the nutmeg. Nutmeg contains tryptophan, the same stuff that makes us pass out after a heavy turkey meal on Thanksgiving. Nutmeg is also amazing for sleep. "Grate nutmeg on your food or into your tea—it'll knock you right out, says Sietos. Find out why you get so sleepy when you're sick.
"Rosemary is highly antiviral and antibacterial," Sietos says. "Everything you smell in that signature aroma is medicine." How do you take this fragrant elixir? If you're working with fresh rosemary, simmer it in water for ten minutes and cool. Drink it three times a day until your cold is gone, Sietos recommends. If you're working with dried rosemary, take a teaspoon and steep it in a cup of hot water to create a sipping tea. Check out how rosemary and other natural remedies can also work on headaches.
Self-heal is also known as Prunella vulgaris, and it's one of Dr. Fratellone's favorite herbs. "Also called 'all heal,' this herb is great for congestion, and it reduces swelling in the lymph glands," he says. "It actually has an antibiotic effect against a wide range of bacteria and viruses," he says. Self-heal can also be used to treat sore throats. Try using it to create a tea and drinking it two or three times a day when you're feeling under the weather.
Thyme is a lovely aromatic herb in the mint family that's easily cultivated, and it is probably in your kitchen cabinet right now. "Thyme is a powerful antimicrobial remedy that has volatile oils, like thymol and tannins, which work for spasmodic coughs and for fighting sickness," says clinical herbalist Arielle Hayat of the Alchemist's Kitchen. "It's antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, so it can help you sweat out a cold, and also work on supporting digestion (like other herbs in the mint family)," she says.
Hayat likes to prepare thyme in a syrup. She melts local organic honey and infuses it with chopped onions, thyme, and/or garlic for three hours, then strains it and adds the resulting syrup to warm water or a tea as a tonic for cold, achy flu, or cough. If you use a tincture, the dosage is one to four milliliters. Tea dosage is one to two teaspoons of herb to four cups of water in a six- to eight-hour infusion three times a day. Check out these 11 things doctors do to treat the flu.
Wild rose
A rose is not just lovely and fragrant—it's also super-duper high in vitamin C and is a great ingredient when you're looking for natural cold remedies. In addition to helping to treat symptoms of the common cold and flu, it can also help treat other infections and illness, says Hayat. According to studies, every 100 grams of fresh wild rose hips contains 1,250 grams of vitamin C, which is 30 times the amount of vitamin C in citrus fruits. And it has advantages over citrus because Sietos says that drinking orange juice when you have a cold can cause phlegm.
Wild rose hips are also rich in minerals like zinc and selenium, which helps stimulate the function of the kidneys and bladder and helps to flush the system. Try making a rose-petal infusion or "decoction"—the immersion of plants in hot water, like an infusion, but left on a low simmer (it can be steeped in a crockpot) to soothe a sore throat and reduce swelling. Check out the best cold and flu medications to always keep handy.
OK, so you may not already have this one in your pantry—but you'll want to consider stocking up to add it to your options for natural cold remedies. Inula helenium, or elecampane, is an herb to be used for congested coughs. "If your cold leaves you coughing up phlegm with a dry, irritated lung and throat, elecampane is the perfect remedy," Hayat says. "It soothes irritation and relieves coughing while fighting infections with its antimicrobial properties." Here's how to tell if your cough is actually the asthma symptoms no adult should ignore.
The starchy root contains polysaccharides (inulin), which are useful for normalizing blood sugar metabolism and feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut. You could call it a prebiotic, which feeds the probiotics, the community of microorganisms in your small intestine. Try taking a tincture of elecampane (Hayat likes HerbPharm), half to two milliliters three times a day. If you prefer to drink a tea, take a half ounce of dried root in two cups of water infused for six hours. Aim to drink two cups a day.
You won't find this one in your cabinet, but regular, moderate physical activity can strengthen your immune system, boosting your ability to fight off cold and flu viruses. One 2006 study of sedentary, overweight women found that those who started exercising for 45 minutes five days a week were three times less likely to catch colds than women who just stretched once a week. Doctors aren't sure exactly why or how exercise works, but some researchers theorize that physical activity helps germ-fighting antibodies and white blood cells circulate better and more rapidly. Pick up a few other habits that naturally boost your immune system.

Spending time outdoors leads to faster healing and a lower risk of all kinds of illnesses, including respiratory troubles, according to a 2015 review of research published in Frontiers in Psychology. Nature is "like a multivitamin that provides us with all sorts of the nutrients we need," says lead study author Ming Kuo.
Being in nature switches one's body into a calm, "rest and digest" mode instead of a stressed-out "fight or flight" condition. During times of stress, the body shuts down "nonessential" systems like digestion and the immune system, she explains. But "when we feel completely safe, our body devotes resources to long-term investments that lead to good health outcomes—growing, reproducing, and building the immune system," Kuo adds. "When we are in nature in that relaxed state, and our body knows that it's safe, it invests resources toward the immune system."
Nasal flush
Using a neti pot to pour warm saline solution into one nostril and out the other will thin mucus and clean out nasal passages, reducing sinus swelling, congestion, and nasal irritation, research shows. In one recent British study, researchers found that people with chronic sinus trouble had a significant reduction in symptoms after using a neti pot daily. Neti pots are an ancient Indian practice; find out about a bunch more old-time remedies that really work.
Lots of fluids

When it comes to advice about natural cold remedies, drinking lots of fluids is something people with a cold or the flu often hear. Here's why: Symptoms of upper respiratory infection usually start in the nose, Evangeline Lausier, MD, an assistant clinical professor at Duke Integrative Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, told Reader's Digest. "The cold virus attacks these nasal areas, and the body fights back by secreting more mucus to flush out the virus." Drinking more fluids will keep the mucus thin and flowing so you can more easily clear it out of your system, Dr. Lausier says.
Chicken soup

Chicken soup is a favorite among natural cold remedies, and deservedly so: It really is an effective weapon against colds and flu, according to a famous study published in the Chest medical journal in 2000. The researchers found that chicken soup reduces inflammation, possibly because of the medicinal qualities of many of the traditional ingredients. Dr. Lausier agrees: "I think chicken soup is great for hydration—hot liquids, salt, and electrolytes. What goes in it can also provide healing properties: Onions and garlic can reduce the viscosity of mucus and help prevent or lessen congestion." Chicken soup is an old wives' tale that turned out to be true—but don't fall for these 8 popular old myths that are still totally false.

Zinc lozenges can shorten the duration of colds if you start taking them within a day of feeling sick, according to the National Institutes of Health. But never use "intranasal" zinc swabs that you put up your nose—they can cause a permanent loss of smell.
Gargling with salt water reduces swelling in your throat when you're sick and loosens germ-packed mucus, according to the Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies. But gargling daily when you're healthy—with simple water—may help keep you from getting sick in the first place. An interesting study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that people who gargled three times a day with plain water for two months were about 30 percent less likely than non-garglers to get colds. Don't ignore these 12 signs your common cold could be something worse.

Hot lemon water, and tea with honey, are traditional toddies to sip when you're sick, for good reason: Not only does steam from the warm liquids thin mucus and soothe congestion, but the honey is also an effective cough suppressant. In a 2007 study in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, researchers found that two teaspoons of honey before bed relieved sick kids' coughing and helped them sleep better than over-the-counter cough medicine. (Just be sure never to give honey to a child under one year old because of the risk of botulism.) Amaze yourself with these 50 natural remedies that really work for all kinds of conditions.
"One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to allow your body to rest while you are feeling under the weather," Ian Tong, MD, chief medical officer at Doctor on Demand, told Reader's Digest. "Resting gives your body a chance to fight off the infection and can help boost your immune system." Sleep is so powerful among natural cold remedies, in fact, that a 2009 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that subjects who got less than seven hours of rest a night were almost three times as likely to get colds as those who got at least eight hours of shut-eye. Don't ignore these 9 ways you're making your cold or flu worse.
Research on probiotics is mixed, and there's not enough research to say for sure that they help fight colds and flu, according to the National Institutes of Health. That said, a review and meta-analysis of good-quality, randomized studies found that the supplements shorten the duration of upper respiratory infections in both children and adults. Try to avoid these 10 foods that are definitely not natural cold remedies.

Getting a final word on echinacea is tough because studies have used so many different doses and types—tea, tinctures, capsules—over the decades. Results are decidedly mixed, but the herb appears to be most effective if taken the moment you notice symptoms, and if you continue taking it for a week to ten days, according to the Mayo Clinic. Just be sure to talk to your doctor and check for drug interactions (there are quite a few!) before taking it. Now check out these 16 natural sore throat remedies.
