Rheumatoid arthritis is common and potentially crippling. Pharmaceutical treatments are costly and have serious side effects. What if the solution was just a dietary change away?
An intriguing recent research review has uncovered lots of promise that a vegetarian diet could be a huge help to people suffering the potentially debilitating pain of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The review found that excess weight and diets that include meat and dairy make inflammation and RA worse, while vegetarian diets make them better. Diets high in fat and meat elevate all kinds of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and homocysteine; diets high in fruit and grain lower them. Studies prove that vegetarian and vegan diets significantly lower C-reactive protein.
Vegan and vegetarian diets have been shown to significantly improve the symptoms of RA, including joint pain, stiffness and tenderness, swelling, limitations to function and grip strength. Diets high in meat and protein, on the other hand, are significantly associated with RA.
Several studies show that diets rich in fruits, vegetables and fiber help you lose weight—important for treating RA—and reduce pain and inflammation in people with RA.
Increasing monounsaturated fat and decreasing saturated fats improves RA symptoms, including pain and physical function. High fat meals send markers of inflammation and free radical damage soaring; reducing saturated fat drops them.
Increasing fiber drastically lowers C-reactive protein by 25%-54%.
This extensive review strongly suggests that vegetarian and vegan diets have a big impact on RA. It also suggests that the reasons may be very complex, including, lower saturated fat, better proteins, higher fiber and improved weight management.
So, if you are suffering from RA, you may want to consider making the change to the same vegetarian diet that is healthier for you in so many other ways anyway!

Very high end top shelf design company! I have worked with others and they sell the best and service the rest. I brought an exiting PREZI that was "ok" and they created something outstanding with it. They came in on budget, on time and probably the best part was that the few edits I requested were quickly added and with a smile. My PREZI is used for a sales presentation and the responses from prospects has been "your presentation is unique and engaging" Priceless in the sales arena!!!!

Liz and the Presentation Geeks team delivered a fantastic presentation on a very tight schedule. I was under a tight deadline to get an old Prezi converted to the new format, and update the look to make it fit with our branding. They did exactly what they promised. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

ZTE has introduced their Grand S3 handset at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a device which features EveVerify's EyePrint ID biometric solution. We've already covered the launch of that device, and got some hands-on time with ZTE's flagship, the Nubia Z7. It's time to take a look at one other ZTE-branded device, the Nubia X6 which launched in March 2014 and is available since April. This phablet is on display at ZTE's MWC booth where were able to get some hands-on time with it, as you can see in a bunch of images down below. Check out those images if you'd like to take a closer look at the Nubia X6's design and what not, and we'll talk a little bit about this device's specs.
The Nubia X6 is a rather odd device, this is a phablet handset which sports a huge screen on the front, a 6.44-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) IPS LCD panel. This handset comes in two variants, the one with 2GB of RAM, and the higher-end 3GB RAM variant. As far as storage options go, the 2GB variant is available with 32 and 64GB of internal storage, while the 3GB variant comes in only the 128GB flavor. Anyhow, this thing sports a 13-megapixel snapper on the back (OIS, dual-LED flash), and a 13-megapixel shooter on its front side. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 quad-core processor is powering on this device, and the device ships with a non-removable 4,250mAh battery. The Nubia X6 measures 179.5 x 89 x 7.9mm and weighs 215 grams. This is a dual-SIM device which comes with support for 4G LTE connectivity.
The ZTE Nubia X6 is the company's high-end phablet which is available in White and Gold color options, and prices will vary depending on where you purchase this thing, keep in mind that it's not cheap though. Let us know if you like this phablet in the comments.

I will be the one editing the video, research, targeting audience, come up with title, etc. Your job is to speak in front of camera while i move around camera, set angle, shoot drone footage, make intro, etc.

That's exactly what i'm trying to do. Any revenue earned from youtube will be shared. I'm not blind by money, trying to be "operator," etc. I value family and brotherhood. Social media is nothing more than a tool to make money. That's all i'm trying to do.

text: Digital 5 kinds of Facebook posts that drive 186% monthly sales growth By Dennis Yu|July 17, 2013 Share By Dennis Yu|July 17, 2013 Share A lot of effort and good money goes into writing and promoting your Facebook posts, so it just makes sense to do it correctly. However, there's no single right way to post on Facebook; but a variety of formats to get your readers engaged.Zeal for Life, a wellness brand, has five good examples. From January to May of this year, they went from $2.1 million to $6 million in monthly sales. Facebook played a huge role in that spike, showing that the world's largest social network can provide a strong ROI. We sat down with Jim Lupkin, Director of Social for Zeal for Life, to find out how he achieved these results. Their brand revolves around a health-conscious image, supported by scientific research. But since their customers are rarely familiar with all of the 40-plus nutrients in their products, Zeal for Life explained one of them. By giving a tangible reason why their products are healthy, they went beyond the usual "good for you" marketing and interacted with their fans more intimately, like a live demo.Don't just say your product or service is good; show it. Treat your Facebook posts like in-person conversations, and your fans will respond well to them. Pay attention to the relationship between their viral and paid impressions. The viral impact is huge (34,016) but the organic one is relatively smaller (6,325), which means they traded reach for a higher conversation rate.There's a multiplier at work here acting as a discount. They bought 2,000 in paid reach but got 34,000 in viral reach, making this a spectacular buy 1, get 17 free deal. That's why posts with high engagement often have more net conversions.Facebook ads aren't hard to set up — you can set up a campaign in under 60 minutes. But it's important to note that you don't need high virality in every post. Sometimes you just want clicks and conversions, not shared stories. Traditional advertisers usually have a hard time understanding that social media is different. You shouldn't just blast your message out like a radio spot, condensing as much information as possible into 30 seconds. You need to be honest and vulnerable. Not everybody likes your product, and that's okay. When you pretend you're flawless, you come across as insincere, which is a death knell in social media.That's why Zeal for Life asked their Facebook fans to tell them whether they liked the product or not. It shows they're imperfect, human, and relatable. These posts are also a way to get free survey results, which is the first step toward improving your product. Here, Zeal for Life relays a customer story sincerely, they cite her by name and include her picture with their product. You're inherently distrustful of what a salesperson tells you about a TV set in the store, but you listen closely when people close to you talk about what they like; they're impartial, after all.By asking their fans to share their experiences with the brand, they proved they value honest feedback. It also got them free testimonials in the process. In the case of negative feedback, it directed their attention to spots they need to work on, helping them to improve faster.You'll notice they clocked 77,991 paid and 58,142 viral impressions, too. This is another high engagement post that likely has a high conversion rate. Inviting fan participation is always a good way to get comments, as well as likes. It also demonstrates an interest in what they have to say, making your brand more likeable.Offering to feature their recipes galvanizes people through competition. Since all these recipes involve their products, it's another way for their customers to willingly share the products with their friends on Facebook. In order for your fans to see you as more than just a business, you have to act like more than just a business. By showing appreciation to your fans, you befriend them, creating a personal relationship with them that transcends your product.Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 Share http://adweek.it/2k6z6Gf copy Adweek Adweek

The following press release has been issued by East Devon District Council outlining the current situation with Feniton's long-awaited flood scheme.
Network Rail and council in talks over line closure to enable Phase 4 works to take place
East Devon District Council is currently having discussions with Network Rail over the closure of the Exeter to Waterloo line, which will need to be closed for 28 hours to allow the installation of a storm water pipe beneath the line east of the bridge at Green Lane, Feniton. The pipe forms Phase 3 of the Feniton Flood Alleviation Scheme and Phase 4 will connect to this section once it is in place. Phase 4 is the last part of the flood alleviation scheme which will reduce the risk of flooding to over 70 properties. The scheme could be complete in 2019 if this rail closure can be agreed.
Network rail and the council are deciding how best to manage the rail closure and any related risks to the rail network. This will involve agreeing a Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA), which relates to the closure of the line and includes the costs that the council could potentially be liable for should the rail possession time be exceeded. This document will need to be signed by both East Devon and Network Rail. East Devon were due to apply for a line closure in October, but we could not accept the risk of incurring charges of several thousand pounds per minute if the works exceeded the closure window. The council is negotiating with Network Rail to reduce the risk to East Devon taxpayers and to reach a mutually agreeable way forwards.
Once an agreement with Network Rail has been reached, the council will commence tendering for Phase 4. The council hopes to have agreed a way forwards with Network Rail by March 2017 and to have started the final phase of construction later that year.
Councillor Iain Chubb, East Devon District Council's portfolio holder for the environment, said:
"With Phases 1 and 2 already complete, I am keen to see an agreement reached so we can move forward with Phase 4. The completion of this scheme is critical in order that the residents of Feniton can rest easy whenever there is heavy rainfall."
Councillor Peter Bowden, East Devon District Council's lead councillor for flooding, said:
"We are doing our utmost to deliver this vital scheme, so it is frustrating that delays have occurred, which are beyond our control. We are working hard with Network Rail on finding a mutually agreeable way of taking forwards the vital under track crossing to allow us to get on with the final phase of the scheme. We hope to have started construction on the final phase of the scheme by Summer 2017."
Councillor Susie Bond, East Devon District Council's ward member for Feniton and Buckerell, added:
"Along with much of the rest of the country, Feniton suffered another day of flooding this week, and it was only because of the hard work of the volunteer flood warden team that water spilling out of the combined drains didn't get into houses.
"This flood scheme has been extraordinarily complex and residents are aware of the considerable hard work of all the agencies involved in getting to this half-way stage. Our MP, Neil Parish, has been instrumental in pushing the scheme forward and we are grateful for his concern in the situation we face in Feniton."

Today friends and family came over and we canned together. I have never canned salsa, so it was a first for me. Turned out to be quite easy and a lot of fun.
We read the directions and split up tasks..
Before the party Kyleigh and I made pepper jelly & blueberry lime jam for everyone to try and take home. I'm still not sure which was my favorite. So different from each other, but both nummy!!
1 pkg powdered pectin
5 cups sugar
1 Tbsp grated lime peel
1/3 cup lime juice
Crush blueberries one layer at a time. Combine crushed blueberries and powdered pectin in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Stir in grated lime peel and juice. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
4 1/2 cups finely chopped green bell pepper (about 4 large)
1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeno pepper (about 4 small)
1 1/4 cups cider vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 cup honey
Combine both peppers and vinegar in a large saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar and honey. Return mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process filled jars for 10 minutes.
Now you know we are a little loopy, so last night we stayed up and made reversible aprons – too much fun, I will be making more of those for sure!

Testimony of Howard Olsen
Jun 13, 2015
Howard was a successful businessman until he lost his job in the economic collapse a few years ago. Then God unexpectedly intervened in his life. Without asking permission! I am reminded of Paul's statement in Romans 2:4, "it is the goodness of God that leads you to repentance."
That, of course, is a New Covenant concept, where God vows to intervene in our lives in order to make us His people (Deut. 29:10-15).

Let us show you how we create a complete visualization of your development at every stage while reducing costs.
The best way to understand and have a feel for a new home is to see it in 3D rather than having to rely on your imagination to see if the bathroom door will be too far away from the kitchen or if a particular window size, or location, in the kitchen, the most important room in the house, may compliment the design or ruin it. Conceptualizing in three dimensions allows you to virtually walk through the home before even approving the specs or designs. Want to see that living room wall with bay windows? No problem. Want to check out the view from the top floor window? Step right up. Changed your mind and now want no window? Sure.
stage 1 … blue print adjustment
As you know, the planning stage is the most crucial stage in the development of any property. There for, prior to submitting your blueprints to the city, we can sit down with you and turn your 2D prints into 3D plans. This will allow you to determine if your expectations of how your blueprint should turn out will be the same as how they will turn out. We are that confident that we can create a hard copy output from your input in advance so you will be aware of any changes that are necessary to those blueprints before breaking ground.
stage 2 … elevation consideration
At this stage it is important to finalize the elevation finishing. As you know, a blue print can be developed on the exterior in a multitude of different ways. We will sit down together and consider various options for how you want the exterior to look and what will need to be purchased to create each finish. We can now begin to visit the various suppliers showrooms … in my office.
Option-1 Option-2
Option-3 Option-4
stage 3 … purchasing exterior materials
Let's eliminate the guess work. If you are investing between $800,000 to $2,000,000 or more and you do not know how it will look when completed how can you be sure you are spending those dollars wisely. From our options that we have created you can now compare which one is most suitable for your project budget. We will be able to determine materials by visiting various suppliers catalogs that are directly integrated into our software and then compare pricing between these suppliers to ensure you get the most cost effective outcome.
CHOOSE Type of wall finishing
A1- Coronado stone A2-Cultured stone
A3-Eldorado stone
CHOOSE Type of roofing material
A1- Certainteed A2-Owens Corning
A3-James Hard
stage 4 … process of interior designing
The six rules of designing:
1.Space and Planning
4.Pattern and Texture
5.Balance and Order
Designing the house is not just about knowing your tastes, but also how you think about it. There are two ways to approach the design ……. the 'part-to-the-whole' or the 'whole-to-the-part'.
Do you ask about the process? Do you pay attention to every detail? Do you seen hyper-organized? Ask yourself "Do I read the book slowly and carefully without skipping paragraphs?". If you answered YES to these you are a 'part-to-whole thinker'. In this type of designing process we choose piece by piece, step by step and expand to whole house.
We choose a kitchen style: Traditional / Transitional / Contemporary, then we choose the kitchen finish: paint / stain, and then the kitchen tone: light / dark And then continue designing the rest of the house based on that room (whether it be the kitchen or front room, etc.).
On the other hand, Are you are primarily interested in the bottom line? Do you seem bogged down by details? Are you a big picture person? If you answered YES to these you are a 'whole–to-part' thinker. In this type of designing process we decide on a whole house style: Traditional / Transitional / Contemporary / style. Once the house style has been decided, we then choose all of the items to fit into that style.
The next step is to work with you to determine what colours should be used based on what mood you desire for that particular room. For instance, a calming colour would be appropriate for the bedrooms whereas a more vibrant colour would be selected for the living room. There are also tricks that can be used with colour to assist your floor plans. Examples of this are using lighter colours to make a room look bigger, or by using darker shades to make a long corridor seem shorter, or by using bright colours to make the expensive flooring stand out better.
Lighting comes next, to make a room look taller than it really is you would opt for floor lighting that shined upward (with preferably a darker floor), to make a room seem longer you could choose a focal point (such as a statue or painting) and shine a spot light or track light across the room at it.
Patterns and texture can be used to break up the monotony of a dull room. This can be achieved by creating a feature wall that displays blocks or has wallpaper, etc. It is important to know that using small patterns will give you more depth and conversely big patterns with give you coziness. We must also remember that using vertical lines on the walls will give the effect of a taller ceiling should that be desired.
Next is balance and order. This means one should not use too much texture or colour in any one room as it will overwhelm and conflict with each making the room feel 'uneasy'.
Lastly, the personality of the builder or the home owner is so very important as a room can be decorated in a variety of different ways using the same budget.
stage 5 … selecting interior materials
The only thing as important as ensuring that you stay on budget is ensuring that everyone in the household will be OK with what is being created. That is where sitting down with all of the members of the home and getting input from everyone with regards to the main colours and/or textures is so important. This will not only let each person know what is being built in advance, but also prevent future arguments.
SELECTION A … Behr SELECTION B … Benjamin Moore
SELECTED … Behr
Blue 1 Blue 2 Blue 3
Our software allows us to offer you the ability to make real decisions. By this we mean that you will now be able to decide whether or not a traditional or contemporary kitchen will 'fit' with the rest of the interior design. With just a few key-strokes we can show you a multitude of different styles of kitchens that will accommodate the same square footage. This will potentially save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in future renovations.
Traditional style
contemporary style
Now that we have determined what style of kitchen will best suit the interior concept, we can move on to figuring out what colours will best suit the design. Again, our software allows us to easily create a variety of different options to choose from. And without sounding repetitive, this will once more potentially save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in future renovations. This is also a very important feature to offer homeowners as it will elevate the challenges discussed as above.
Paint (Light colour)
Stain (Dark Colour )
stage 6 … purchasing interior materials
As with determining what to purchase for exterior materials we have to make similar decisions for the interior. By creating a completer floor plan rendering we can instantly find options and make choices. From our options that we have created you can now compare which one is most suitable for your project budget. And again we will be able to determine materials by visiting various suppliers catalogs that are directly integrated into our software and then compare pricing between these suppliers to ensure you get the most cost effective outcome. And this is all done while you sit beside me in my office!y
A … tile
B … wood flooring
CHOOSE type of wood flooring
B- real wood (hardwood)
B1 .. Armstrong B2 .. Carlisle
B3 .. Pravada
stage 7 … landscaping
A Garden is basically a collection of plants of either the flowering or non-flowering type or combination of both arranged in a way that they complement and balance out each other.
There are a couple of easy steps a beginner gardener can follow in designing a garden:
1.Know your purpose.
Ask your self —what do I want a garden for ? A garden can be started for a lot of reasons. To simply serve as a calming nook or to serve something more functional such as a source for food or spices so think and decide want you want. Ones you decide kind of garden will determine the kind of plants that will be in it.
2.Consider the climate.
Plants are dependent on climate. some plants can only grow and thrive on specific types of climates. So whether you live in a palace with tropical weather or one with four seasons or a place that is consistently hot or cold know the best kind of plants to grow in our climate.
3.Consider the time of the year.
Plants also follow the calendar and the seasons. So depending on the time of the year you decide to start garden ( climate at that time of calendar) you must choose the appropriate seedling and seeds to plant. Eg. Spring bulbs such daffodils should be planted during the winter ,while shrubs and perennials are better planted during autumn in more temperate zones –following seedling calendar for your region.
4.Choose a focal point
Ones you decide what kind of garden you want, plan out. Focal point It could be bench at the end or statue or sculpture, fountain, ponds, pergola or swing which will visually hold all the other plants and elements in your garden.
5.Balance the elements
Visually your focal point should be heaviest so make sure your other plants do not draw attention away from it otherwise your garden will not look like it is in harmony.
A good plant to fill the background is one with heavy foliage which are consider to be a garden staple. They comes in different colors and they are perennials.
6.Tender , Loving care
How your garden will look and how long it will last is entirely up to you. Garden is alive so it needs a lot of constant tender loving care so that it will grow and thrive.
Strike the right balance of mass and space in your garden to give it an intriguing dimension and appeal. Inside our homes we arrange our furniture to make us feel comfortable within our space. If the furniture is too close together it makes the room seem crowded, if it is spaced too far apart the room can feel featureless. This balance between the bulky items (mass) and the open space (the void) , is vital in our gardens as much as it is in our houses.
The Key to Creating a Great Looking Garden
Unless you shape your lawn/patio or deck area correctly and use the landscape materials in the right way, your garden will look smaller, disjointed and unattractive, no matter how many nice plants and features you add.
If the underlying shapes are not right, the garden can NEVER look as good as you want it to.
So, for example, if you have a narrow garden, it needs different design shapes to a square or wide garden. Makes sense, doesn't it? But which design shapes should you use for your garden?
There's a Formula for Designing Small Gardens
What Shape Is Your Garden?
Every garden is different. Some are long and narrow, others are wide, small, large, square, the list goes on. This is what can make designing your garden difficult. Long, narrow gardens for instance, need to be made to look wider and with points of interest throughout in order to look really good.
Over the years I discovered that each type of garden has a set of things that needs to be done in order to achieve a successful design. Certain design shapes are effective for different types of garden.
Garden Plan
For example, in the garden plan featured on the top, you'll see the shapes used have made this small gardens look much bigger.

Experts expect oil boom in Nigeria's north
A major oil discovery, which can fetch Nigeria another commercial crude exploration and production boost, is likely
in the northern part of the country, petroleum explorationists have said.
The crude geologists and geophysicists under the aegis of the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) who made this known through their President, Kingsley Ojoh, submitted that a modern technology -- 3D seismic -- should be deployed to realize this dream.
The Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Abubakar Yar'Adua, said that the
corporation has invested about $ 500 mm (N 58 bn) in Chad basin oil search and the geologists declared that though
about 240 bn barrels of crude have been discovered in Africa, over 150 bn barrels are yet to be discovered in the
continent, making the Chad search likely for commercial discovery.
Speaking after a NAPE seminar in Lagos, Ojoh declared that the Red Sea, like the northern Nigeria "has once been written off in terms of oil exploration and discovery. It was written in black and white by some western explorationists that that region could not have oil deposits but with the aids of modern technology, it is today one of the finest region where oil is been explored in commercial quantity."
Although the NAPE boss confirmed that the "geology and other exploration activities in the Niger Delta region of
Nigeria have been proved by technology to be superior," he declared that the north "can not be ruled out in terms of
commercial discovery."
When exploration at the Chad basin started in 1976, according to Ojoh, "only 2D seismic was used but we don not do anything (exploration) in the Niger Delta without 3D seismic. With 3D or any other advance technology, it is likely that major discovery can be made."
Disclosing that there are three prospective sub-basins-Gubio, Maiduguri and Baga Lake, in the Chad basin, he stated

Hey Folks
Well this is it, a start of something new, welcome to my Blog.
I plan to update this with news and reports from my times out and about playing and working in the great outdoors, as well as helpful posts on current summer / winter conditions.
I've just finished a few weeks of working in Scotland, paddling big swollen rivers and seeking dry rock in the far flung North West.
I pack for the Alps tomorrow, the plan being to drive out with Kenny Grant for some Alpine Action. It's currently snowing down to 2000m out in the Alps until Tuesday but it's looking good thereafter. Fingers crossed for some settled Alpine weather and some settled Alpine mountains. Don't think we will be venturing anywhere near the Dru, having seen how much rock it's shedding! (Check out the report in ukclimbing)
Hope you enjoy my Blog and find it useful.
Here are a few Alpine photo's to whet the appetite……


text: The bike has a clock, a temperature gauge, windshield, Viking saddle bags, electric deer whistle, dual air horn and has passed Pennsylvania inspection last month (May, 2015). The tires are good (front is Perelli Nightdragon and rear is Metzler). Scrapes and scratches add character to this classic, powerful bike. I call it a "hardly Davidson" since it looks so good and runs so well. Engine is powerful, clutch is good, brakes are good. This bike is ready to ride. I rode it a long ways today in the beautiful Fall weather we are having. I only had it up to 80 MPH but it has a lot more. It rides nice and seats two full sized people. It has a "sissy bar" on the back and passenger footpegs so you can carry a passenger in comfort. It gets 40 miles per gallon of regular gas around town and 50 on the highway. It has the original legal pipes and sounds nice but not too loud. Seat is large and comfortable for me. I am 6 ft tall. The "heel and toe" shifter is easy on your boots since you don't have to push up with your toe. Floorboards are comfortable and the bike always starts instantly even on the coldest mornings. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey everyone, so we're gonna take a break from the constant stream of shameless self-promotion (go to www.Imarriedanalienfilm.com to get tickets to the thing I'm not going to promote that I wrote and am in with an awesome group of people) and talk about something in the world. Something that affects us all… or at least some of us all. But anyway, despite all of this shameless unself promotion (seriously though go to http://www.Imarriedanalienfilm.com ) here's a nice TV double billing of reviews for two comic book TV shows.
The Plot: Arrow is the story of Oliver Queen a somewhat unfortunately named man who was stranded on an island for several years. When he returns to Starling City though he seems to have gained more skills on the island then the ones you might think: such as dirt eating, fire making, and a killer coconut throw. Oliver has returned with a bow and a strong sense of justice and murder and punching… and things. So Oliver sets out to clean up the mean streets of Starling and save his city from itself (if this starts to sound very Batmany there's a reason for that.)
Some thoughts: Rather than go straight up pros and cons with these shows I'm just gonna give an overview of the shows basics.
The first thing you need to know about Arrow is that it gets better. The first episodes of this show… they kind of suck. Not horribly but… still mostly. At first Arrow is all murdery and Oliver Queen delivers a lot of monologues (horribly written monologues) and the show just kind of spirals around itself. It comes across as a little pretentious and takes itself a little too seriously.
When Arrow picks up and gets good (it does get good I promise) it does so because the show becomes about Oliver and Company (obvious reference to a Disney movie no one has ever watched.) Arrow is interesting (and it does get interesting I promise) because of the characters around "the Arrow." Dig, and Felicity, and Sarah and even Officer Lance as played by Paul Blackthorn; these are the characters that orbit around Oliver Queen and make the show interesting. It's at it best when all of the characters around Oliver come together and not just when the Arrow is wandering around shooting people with awesome martial arts skills and then complaining about how terrible it is that he has to be awesmoe and murder criminals.
Despite all of the improvements that got made to the show there are a couple annoying little things I'd like to mention (or more accurately one HUGE problem.) Thea (Oliver's sister) is PHENOMINALLY annoying. And it's not just her character (though her character is annoying and complainy and stupid) it's more that the actresses voice sounds with every syllable like her vocal chords are commiting ritual suicide via badger. They keep threatening to kill her character off and frankly if/when that happens the show will drastically improve. Drastically.
In conclusion: Arrows evolution from boringly generic to actually quite enjoyable took a little bit but it definitely has become something worth watching (especially for comic book fans.) The characters are interesting, the fight choreography is well done, and the acting (while by no means superb) holds up pretty well. Arrow is at its best when it focuses on the world and the big picture storyline and so far that's been what they've been doing with the vastly superior Season 2.
And now on to show 2.
Agents of Shield
The Plot: Agents of shield is Marvel's first attempt to venture into the realm of TV and it follows a group of Agents… of Shield. They spend their time on a big old plane delivering snappy one-liners and occasionally running across people/places from the movies in a mildly interesting sort of way. Until that is Captain America 2 came out, then (not to deliver any spoilers) the whole show changed for… reasons. And it became awesome.
Some thoughts:
For a long time Agents of Shield struggled with direction. There was a weird overall plotting thing with some oddly named villain that wasn't at all intimidating and episode to episode their wasn't really much going on. The biggest problem probably being the lack of a villain. Spending time wandering around saying "who's the villain???" Is not nearly as fun as, ya know, having an actual villain… The characters were good but not enough to make up for a lack of a carrying plot. And then Captain America 2 changed everything. Now there's actually a storyline and interesting stuff happens and the characters have conflict and interesting things happening to them. Honestly the last few episodes have been genuinely great, gripping television. It was a LONNNGGG time coming but Agents of Shield has all the sudden become kind of exactly what we wanted it to be.
In Conclusion:
It's hard to unqualifyingly recommend Agents of Shield. The show wouldn't be as good now if you hadn't watched the whole series but the whole series is a bit of a slog. It's not bad per se… but it's not necessarily good. It's like a roller coaster except the first ten minutes of the ride is all boring straight sections and slow relaxing music… played by seven year old untrained musicians… but it gets good!! I promise!!
So there you go guys, two reviews for the price of one!! And two shows that (for different reasons) started out slow but have since matured into decent/excellent shows!!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you next Monday!!

AMHERST, Mass. – Competing at the Upstate Challenge hosted by Cornell University on Friday and Saturday, the Amherst College men's track & field team saw two school records shattered and four new personal bests set by non-first-years in their third weekend of the season.
The Mammoths return to action next weekend, Friday, Jan. 31 when they head to Tufts University and the Reggie Lewis Center for the NEICAAA Indoor Championships and the Branwen Smith-King Invitational.
- Kelechi Eziri '23 smashed his first collegiate mark in the triple jump, posting a distance of 14.09m erase a 26-year program record in the event. The previous Amherst best came from Doug Lyons '86 with a jump of 13.92m in 1983.
- In the heptathlon, Troy Colleran '22 excelled -setting a new personal best in the event by more than 200 points to clinch third (4962) and best his own school record of 4750 set during last winter's NCAA Indoor Championships.
- Sophomore Marshall Richardson continued to hone his skills in the 60m dash, dropping his time by eight tenths of a second in his second-ever race.
- Taking to the starting line in the 400m sprint, Prenosil was just a second over his PR to clock a time of 49.75 and take third overall behind the NEICAAA and DIII New England qualifying mark. Ellis Phillips-Gallucci '23 placed seventh in overall for the Mammoths in his first-ever appearance in the event, while Kyland Smith '21 clinched ninth to round out Amherst's top-10 finishers.
- Alex Mangiafico's time of 1:08.03 in the 500m finals was good for second overall, while first-years Wilson Spurrell and Braedon Fiume also picked up DIII NE qualifying times with sub-two minute marks and top-five finishes in the 800m.
- The mile saw both Spencer Ferguson-Dryden '20 and Braxton Schuldt '21 excel and set new personal bests, with Ferguson-Dryden stopping the clock in 4:16.90 to secure the silver and Schuldt posting a 4:23.96 mark to earn a sixth-place finish. Robert Innes-Gold '22 also saw a new PR set in the event (4:56.64).
- Senior Yonas Shiferaw used a jump of 12.65m in the triple jump to set a new collegiate best mark before just missing his PR in the 60m hurdles.
- In the 4x400 relay, Smith, Spurrell, Phillips-Galucc and Mangiafico were three seconds off the Mammoths' best time of the season in the event, combining for a mark of 3:30.01 to earn second.
- Jack Renda '23 continued to make significant strides as a thrower – logging a PR in the shot put.
- In the heptathlon, James Trent '23 battled to a ninth place finish after eclipsing the 4000 point mark.

Arc System Works releasing World End Syndrome in the west for PS4 and Nintendo Switch next spring
by Zack Reese,
Arc System Works has announced through their official Twitter account that they plan on releasing the popular visual novel World End Syndrome in North America and Europe sometime next spring for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It was originally released for the PS4, Vita, and Switch in Japan on August 30.
The story is set in the sea town of Mihate when the protagonist moves there and begins to attend a new school. He hears of a local legend in which the dead come back to life every 100 years and are known as "Yomibito." A missing high school girl could signal the return of the Yomibito.
Here is an overview trailer for the game that was released earlier this summer:

My question involves paternity law for the State of: Texas
My daughter is now 16 and about 11 weeks pregnant. She was somewhat dating a boy for a few months before she became pregnant. He raped her over Memorial Day weekend. She won't let me go to the police and now She says that he says she "over-reacted". This boy has completely messed with her head.
She does not have anything to do with the boy after that incident, this was her first and only sexual encounter. I know many will not believe it, but it really is true in this situation.
Myself, my daughter and my husband sat down and talked to her about what was going to happen with the baby, we all decided adoption would be best. The boy has since found out that is her intention and has threatened to go to court for the baby saying they will never allow adoption but will take it to raise. It has become very extremely clear that the boy is abusive and his father is also abusive.
We do not want this child to be raised by the boy who raped my daughter (I hate to even call him the father of their child), we want the child to grow up in a loving environment with two parents who will love him/her and have a stable life - not grow up knowing it's mom got pregnant when she was 16 and Jr. in high school.
What can we do? Does the boy have any rights? What would happen if we moved her out of state with relatives where they couldn't find her until after the baby is born? Do we have any options?
I'm thinking, if a girl has a right to choose what to do with the baby before it's born, shouldn't she have a right to choose what happens to the baby after it's born? A man can't force a woman to have an abortion,right? He shouldn't be able to keep her from giving the baby up for adoption then?
My daughter doesn't want to come forward and press charges against the boy. He is only 16 also.

Feeling blue can sometimes be a good thing, especially if you have a car as hot as Jeff Famely's bullet-proof '95 Honda Civic hatchback, "Kool Blue." Jeff's ride has been modified to the hilt and has been making the rounds on the show car circuit with no less than 33 Best of Show wins since October 2000. Yes, the car can certainly haul asphalt with its tweaked-out engine and stop on a dime with the AEM brake setup, but the only stopping that the hatchback is doing is making spectators stop dead in their tracks at all of the events that it makes an appearance at, right?
Owner: Jeff Famely
Vehicle: '95 Honda Civic hatchback
City/State: San Dimas, California
Club: No affiliation
Rims and Rubber:
G-Racing "Mito" 18×7 wheels with BFGoodrich P215/35-ZR18 Scorcher tires.
AEM disc brakes on all corners, plus Tokico struts, upper strut tower bar and Weapon R coil-over springs all installed by the owner.
Paint and Body Mods:
The hatchback received a mild shaving by removing the moldings, emblems and gas cap, and relocating the gas filler to the back of a taillamp assembly. A pair of S-14 headlights helps Jeff see the light. A modified Wings West body kit along with custom side inductions were also grafted on to the Civic before being covered in '99 Dodge Ram blue.
Kool Blue features an Alpine head unit, four Audiobahn video monitors, Audiobahn crossover, eight Audiobahn tweeters, four Audiobahn midrange speakers and four 15-inch Audiobahn subwoofers all installed by David Strait at CDS in Glendora, California.
Corbeau seats with matching custom gray leather interior done by Ted Lohr. Ichibahn steering wheel, custom shifter, Auto Meter gauges and Indiglo gauge cluster are also featured. Performance: 1.6-liter VTEC engine features a fully built bottom-end by Golden Eagle Manufacturing in San Dimas, California, plus a Nology ignition system, Fluidyne cooling system, AEM fuel system, AEM air cold air intake, AEM Tru-Time cam gears, Hayame engine dress-up kit, and engine head by RPM Motorsports of Queens Village, New York, with a Hayame exhaust system. Vince Tiaga at Golden Eagle built the engine for Jeff.

Clever, very clever. New York artist Peter Coffin teamed with London interactive architect Dominic Harris to launch a "UFO" of their own design earlier this month. The airborne mystery pod produced shock and awe among citizens of a small town last week when it hovered, lights aglow, in Gdansk, Poland.
Dubbed Peter Coffin's UFO Project, the 23-foot aluminum saucer incorporates 3,000 LED nodes controlled by a solid-state computer, according to Harris, head of Cinimod Studio.
"On board, a 6 Kw generator provides the system power," he said. "The overall UFO can be remotely controlled via SMS messaging."
All we know is, the thing looks pretty damn cool (video embedded).
