|Arbonne Products I Use for My Detox
One of the main reasons I chose to do this detox was because I heard that the antibiotics I was taking were really strong and could be bad for the kidneys and liver. They would pull my blood every week and a couple of weeks in, the infectious disease doctor commented that my kidneys were actually doing better than before I started the antibiotics. I told him about the detox diet but in the back of my mind I knew it probably had a lot to do with not drinking alcohol too.
I started drinking Arbonne shakes almost 13 years ago when I got the lap band. The doctor who performed my surgery recommended the brand and I really liked the taste. I've had these shakes off and on over the years.
Side note. When people ask me about the lap band I try to explain that it's a helping hand, but not a complete solution. I still have to do my part and I have to work out and eat right. It keeps me from weighing close to 250 pounds again. Yes, it helped me lose a lot of weight initially, but I've had to keep working on it. I've tried running but I'm not very good at sticking to it. It wasn't until I discovered the Peloton that my life changed. And then toegate happened. And just to be clear, I know that anything else can happen to me. There are illnesses that can't be avoided, like autoimmune diseases. I'm talking about diseases I CAN control and avoid, like Diabetes 2.
I feel like I've been talking about dieting and exercising my whole adult life and half of my teen life too and honestly I'm tired of it. The truth is it's now or never. I am fifty years old and I have pretty much run out of time. This last health crisis was scary and I am so grateful that I didn't lose my toe, but I could have. I feel like it was a wake-up call and a reminder of how fragile our body can be, especially if you aren't healthy. I can only imagine what could have happened if I had't been exercising and trying to take care of myself.
Of course my health and life are the most important, but I also think about how health equals freedom. I think of older ladies I've seen backpacking in Europe and how I thought to myself, "I want to do that one day." If I want to go on adventures in this last third of my life and when I retire I am going to have to be healthy.
I took a week "off" and I ate and drank through it. I felt like I deserved it after being "good" for nine weeks. But then it hit me. I had an Aha moment. The truth of the matter is, I deserve to take care of myself and I deserve a healthy life. How is treating myself to unhealthy food and drinks a treat? How is that a reward? How is eating well a chore or a price?
I thought of something I heard Zig Ziglar say in a motivational speech called "How to Get What You Want." He says, "You do not pay the price for good health. You thoroughly enjoy the price. You pay the price for failure."
I deserve to eat well. I'm not doing anything complicated. All I'm doing is making healthier choices, counting carbs, and making sure I balance my meals and snacks with proteins, vegetables and grains. Am I perfect? No. Do I slip up and eat bad stuff every so often? Yes. But I only want to feed by body with good foods more than I don't.
I honestly can't wait for my toe to be healed completely so I can get back on my Peloton. I can't wait to go running again. Now that I haven't been able to do those things for a long time I appreciate them more. This is my lifestyle now and I deserve to reap the rewards. I want to "enjoy the price of good health."

Outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s Southern Beltway project connects U.S. Route 22 with I-79. The $800-million, 13-mile beltway project serves as a cashless tollway for the region.
Along the beltway, the commission added a new maintenance facility to support highway and vehicle maintenance needs. The raised site in the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania inspired architects to design a building that merged contemporary form with the old barn structures that populate the landscape. When architects needed a durable, aesthetically appealing roofing solution, they turned to CENTRIA for a standing seam metal roof system that met the mark.
Designed for Longevity
On the maintenance facility site, four new buildings created space for administrative offices, maintenance, storage, salt storage, and support facilities for a fully functional and sustainable operation. The project team looked for a roof system that would provide a 50-year lifespan, easy maintenance, and consistent appearance.
CENTRIA SRS 3 roof panels offered the optimal low-slope system and met performance requirements. The project team desired a roof system that met FM 4471 approval, which includes wind uplift and hail resistance, as well as a 20-year weathertightness warranty.
Crews installed 65,768 square feet of slate gray SRS 3 panels across the four buildings. SRS 3 roofing panels offer versatile installation with striking sightlines for new construction and retrofit projects. The standing seam panels are designed as a weathertight, low-slope system.
“We knew we could trust CENTRIA products to deliver longevity and consistency in appearance for the standing seam roof,” said Fred Santoro, architect at AE Works. “CENTRIA provided good support with construction documents that we could use as a basis of design, and though we used a gray finish, the wide array of finish options was a benefit.”
To enclose the sides of the fuel island, the project team selected IW Series metal rainscreen panels for longevity and flat, smooth panels to maintain aesthetic consistency across the site. The rainscreen panels provided a weathered and varied finish the design team desired while offering modern efficiencies of continuous insulation. Crews installed 6,500 square feet of 18-gauge, slate gray IW Series rainscreen to complete the fuel island under the gabled roof.
IW Series panels eliminate exposed fasteners for a clean, unbroken aesthetic and can be installed year-round. A common lock-joint design makes them interchangeable on a project and minimizes moisture intrusion. IW Series panels are best suited for industrial applications.
The Open Road
The project team began planning for the Southern Beltway Maintenance Facility in 2017. The facility opened in the spring of 2021 in time for the ribbon cutting for the Southern Beltway. The project received an Architectural Engineering Institute Merit award for mechanical systems design.

JMAS.L-02 George Ball PapersDocuments from  to
Content and Structure
George Ball was the Europeanists crucial figure in both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, where he was under-Secretary of economic affairs in the Dept of State between 1961-1966. Ball exerted a strong influence on President Johnson in European affairs. He had worked with Monnet and Robert Marjolin in the Committee for European Economic Co-operation and had previously worked as lawyer for Monnet on his plan for the reconstruction of France and for negotiating the ECSC Treaty, and continued for many years as Monnet's legal adviser. Ball had gained through these years of working with Monnet and other advocates of European integration, a conviction that an integrated Europe in partnership with the US was the best way of defending the West. This conviction he brought with him to his positions in the US Administration. His work on behalf of Europe was acknowledged when he was awarded an Officer in the French legion of Honour and a Belgian Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown.

(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)
In a supplemental release to a late September Senate report into Hunter Biden's international business dealings, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) outlined additional information regarding troubling connections between Hunter Biden's business associates and the Russian government, as well as 'millions of dollars' transferred from a CCP-linked Chinese entity to a Biden business associate who allegedly leveraged his relationship with the former Vice President's family, according to the Washington Examiner.
"These new records confirm the connections between the Biden family and the communist Chinese government, as well as the links between Hunter Biden’s business associates and the Russian government, and further support the Committees’ September 23, 2020 report’s finding that such relationships created counterintelligence and extortion concerns," wrote the senators in a five-page report which included 65 pages of evidence.
Elsewhere, they wrote that after their September report was issued, "new sources went public with additional information about business relationships and financial arrangements among and between the Biden family and their business associates, including several foreign nationals ... The new information is consistent with other records within the Committees’ possession which show millions of dollars being transferred from a Chinese entity linked to the communist party to Robinson Walker LLC.” -Washington Examiner
A key focus of the supplemental report is Rob Walker, described as "Hunter Biden's longtime business associate." Walker is associated with three companies tied to Hunter according to the report, which includes new information from former Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski, who worked with the Bidens and Walker in 2017 to create a business which would establish a joint venture with a Chinese Communist Party-linked business, CEFC China Energy - which was run by a disappeared Chinese tycoon and has since gone bankrupt.
Bobulinski, who was tapped to lead the Biden JV through "SinoHawk", repeatedly referenced $10 million in startup funding from a Chinese businessman - money which never materialized, yet which Grassley and Johnson conclude some or all ultimately wound up to accounts linked to James and Hunter Biden.
The Senate investigation update noted that in February and March 2017, a Shanghai-based company called State Energy HK Limited “sent two wires, each in the amount of $3,000,000, to a bank account for Robinson Walker LLC” but that “it is unclear what the true purpose is behind these transactions and who the ultimate beneficiary is.” State Energy HK Limited was affiliated with CEFC under the leadership of Ye Jianming, who had “ties to the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese military” and whose deputy, Gongwen Dong, another business associate of Hunter Biden’s, also received funds from State Energy HK. -Washington Examiner
"These transactions are a direct link between Walker and the communist Chinese government and, because of his close association with Hunter Biden, yet another tie between Hunter Biden’s financial arrangements and the communist Chinese government," reads the Grassley and Johnson release, which also concludes that Hunter "received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow” and that he also “opened a bank account with” Gongwen Dong to fund a $100,000 global spending spree" along with James Biden and his wife, Sara.

For singer/songwriter/guitarist Don Mularz, music is all about that direct emotional connection with the listener. “A song doesn’t have to be strictly autobiographical, but it either needs to be perceived to be so, or, even better perhaps, strike a chord in the listener who recognizes their own story in it,” he says. “That’s what makes a song valid.”
Mularz is Dark Horse Flyer’s primary songwriter and singer, and an integral part of the band’s three-guitar frontline. His work as a composer and a guitarist combines the earthiness of blues and rock n’ roll with an accent of jazz sophistication and the slinkiness of Latin-based rhythms. The constant that ties together his creative voice as a songwriter, singer, and a guitarist (rhythm, lead, and acoustic work) is storytelling through lyrical musicianship, deeply expressive vocals, and poignant and poetic lyrics. In this realm, he holds his standards to his inspirations, including artists such as Steven Stills, James Taylor, Little Feat, Steely Dan, Jackson Brown, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Rodgers.

|Note: At least two separate 'takes' were recorded for "It's Impossible" on the 5th and 6th of May, 1970, but it's not known which one was released as the original single and included within the album. The original release was included in the 1976 compilation "A Legendary Performer" and within the album notes Perry makes reference to having recorded the song twice. The alternate take of this recording was inadvertently included within the 1992 compact disc release of this album.|
|This 1970 hit was Perry's first big
success since 1958, when he struck gold with 'Catch a Falling Star'.
Somehow, he had managed to survive the change in musical style of the 1960s
and made a 'comeback' with a new hit. The melody was by one of Mexico's most
prolific and melodic songwriters ( and performers ), Armando Manzanero. Sid
Wayne, who composed such hits as 'See You in September' and 'The
Language of Love', wrote the lyrics. 'It's Impossible' helped to
bring pretty melodies back into rock-heavy popular music and is well on the
way to becoming Perry's 14th Gold Record.

|Note: The opening Overture ( Como Medley
) includes: Till the End of Time / Round and Round / Catch a Falling Star /
Prisoner of Love / Temptation / Hot Diggity / It's Impossible arranged and
conducted by Nick Perito
"It's Impossible" was written by Sid Wayne and Armando Manzanero and popularized by Perry Como in 1970. His recording ( RCA 74-0387 ) reached #10 on Billboard's Hot 100 and number one on the Easy-Listening chart. Sales easily exceeded one million copies. The original title of the song was "Somos Novios." Armando Manzanero was the first Mexican RCA recording artist to sell over a million dollars worth of records. Another composition of Manzanero, "Yesterday I Heard the Rain," was recorded by Perry and included in the 1971 album "I Think of You" LSP-4539, immediately following.

External influences may guide an individual towards their destiny, but only the person themselves can attain their full potential once they believe in their own ability to succeed. As American positivist author Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy” (Brainy Quote). This can be seen in George Lucas’ Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is an isolated young farmer on the planet Tatooine who is propelled in an unexpected mission to save the Rebel Alliance Leader, Princess Leia, as they struggle to defeat the Galactic Empire. To that effect, when analyzing George Lucas’ film from a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, Luke is the main character
The first Star wars movie “STAR WARS: EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE” was a game changer in the world of movies. According to the National Information Services, LLC “STAR WARS: EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE” made $1,554,475 just in the opening weekend on May, 25,1977 and made a whopping $786,598,007 according to the worldwide box office ticket registry. "Box Office History for Star Wars Movies." Star Wars Franchise Box Office History. Nash Information Services, LLC., n.d. Web. 09 Sept. 2016. This film is idolized by millions Americans and foreigners and we can all thank one man for it. George Lucas. A lot of opinions have been formed about all six of the Star Wars movie some good some bad. Throughout this essay I give you data on Star Wars, background information on George Lucas the creator, George’s mindset on the changes of the originals and prequels, my judgement on fan reactions and George’s decisions, and of course the opinions of the beloved fans who made Star wars famous.
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is final chapter in an epic story of good versus evil. The script was written by George Lucas and was released in theatres on May 25, 1983 (IMDb.com). It was the third film released in the Star Wars saga, following Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (IMDb.com). At the time, Episode VI concluded the story of Luke Skywalker and his Rebel friends fighting against Darth Vader and the evil Empire.
“Do or do not,” says Yoda, in the acclaimed science fiction movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, “there is no try” (Empire). This quote is perhaps the most famous of the character’s, and perhaps one of the most famous in the whole franchise. It highlights an idea that the scene perpetuates: the fact you intend to do something doesn’t matter, only whether or not it is done. This is not a perfect metaphor for the application of knowledge, but it fits in rather easily. Without an effect, an application, all you have is abstract knowledge – that trying that Yoda denies – and in that way value has been diminished. Two areas of knowledge which especially highlight the values and limitations of that claim are the natural sciences and religion.
“ The force will be with you, always.” This is advice given to Luke Skywalker by his mentor Obi Wan Kenobi. In the archetypal hero’s journey a wise and experienced mentor such as Obi Wan will often help guide or offer advice to the youthful and budding hero. Throughout time and across different cultures there are certain symbols, events and characters which can be found in literature and Star Wars IV: A New Hope follows this trend step by step. During the film Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the main protagonist Luke undergoes a stereotypical, or in literary terms an archetypal hero’s journey. Luke starts from humble beginnings and when he is called upon to save the galaxy; he then faces various tests which help him hone skills that he will need for the final life or death battle.
A directors cut, is a specified edit of a version of a film (or video game, music video, etc.) that is suppose to represent a vision closer to that of the director. In 2004, director George Lucas had an interview with Associated Press, and states that the Star Wars series only represented “25 or 30 per cent” of what he wanted it to be. In the following paragraphs, I will show you how editing scenes differently can and will change the outlook of characters and the story of Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
The creator and director of Star Wars, George Lucas, was incredibly successful for his movie series, but even more successful for its overall purpose: to sell toys to ten-year old boys. The use of ethos, pathos, and logos are very abundant in this movie. Ethos, Greek for “character”, is anything referring to or relying on the author’s credibility. Pathos, Greek for “emotional”, is anything that makes you feel emotion. Logos, Greek for “word”, is anything that makes you think. By using these he was able to persuade the audience into thinking, feeling, and loving Star Wars, making the audience want to purchase figurines.
The ideas presented in the Star Wars Documentary relate to my journey when it comes to the hero's journey, the good and evil choice, and the uncontrollable event that sets life in motion. For starters, the hero’s journey, which is based off mythology and history, represents the transition between one identity to another. For my life this is represented from when I was a little kid to now. Going from a child, who has fun and nothing else to worry about, to a teen in high school who has to worry about grades, relationships, and careers. Secondly, the good and evil choice is seen in my life, just not as literally as in Star Wars. My good and evil choice was made in middle school. I could have chosen to slack off, never do work, but I chose to
Star Wars. Just the name itself holds an astonishing weight in the world of film, literature, and even video games and music. With so many works of varying fame and acclaim, almost no other piece of the Star Wars universe is more easily recognised than the 1980 film (the second in the original trilogy), “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back!” George Lucas, the mastermind behind the film itself, knew from the beginning that this film needed to drive his vision to the satisfying end that it deserved. This included using massive, beautiful set pieces such as Hoth, Cloud City, and Dagobah among others. With these basic introductory statements finished, a thesis is to be stated: How much was the story of Luke Skywalker, as well as the entire Star Wars universe, inspired by the Hero’s Journey formula?
“Religious belief evolved by group-selection, tribe competing against tribe, and the illogic of religions is not a weakness, but their essential strength” these words spoken by Edward Osborne Wilson an American Biologist speaks volume not just in our daily lives, but it can be seen in science fiction films like Star Wars Episode 1V: A New Hope released in 1977 written and directed by George Lucas. Religion means to have faith in something. It explains the thinks we are unable to see. To find true religion one muat have The Force and believe.
“Religious belief evolved by group-selection, tribe competing against tribe, and the illogic of religions is not a weakness, but their essential strength” these words spoken by Edward Osborne Wilson an American Biologist speaks volume not just in our daily lives, but as seen in George Lucas science fiction film Star Wars Episode 1V: A New Hope. Religion means to have faith in something. It explains the thinks we are unable to see. To find true religion we must have “ Force” and believe.
Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist of Stanford University famed for the notorious Zimbardo Prison Experiment once said that “Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.” In hindsight, it’s a greatly fitting reflection on the Zimbardo Prison Experiment when so many otherwise innocent people started abusing their power simply because they could. However, the quote, in other words, means that only those who can act in the highest moral standards regardless of what is instinctual as well as forced by the environment are the “heroes,” or people embodying the purest virtues of humanity. Throughout some works of literature such as The Road, The Kite Runner, and the original trilogy of Star Wars, authors not only display humanity’s struggle between the noblest of ideals and the basest of emotions, but also depict the eventual triumph of humanity over the basest of emotions.
Star Wars: A New Hope, brought forth a diversification in the industry of not just a science fiction film, but a contemporary aspect of film in the late 1900’s. On the 25th of May 1977 George Lucas released a two hour journey through a dreamlike universe in which this exceptional exploration takes place. Star Wars fabricated the start of the science fiction film era. Science fiction provides an incogitable world that alters the thoughts of general world, and offers a chance for the reader or viewer to relate the altered world to their world. Star Wars offered this to dreamers of that time and bestowed a escape from reality on its viewers. This is illustrated when ¨Luke¨ played by Mark Hamill takes his first steps into a truly legendary expedition across the galactic universe. Luke is not alone on his dangersome journey along the way he finds his Mentor ¨Obi-Wan Kenobi¨ played by the ingenious actor Alec Guinness. Luke´s journey across the galaxy is distinctly related to The Hero Cycle, composed by Joseph Campbell. The Hero Cycle explains the events in which a character grows into a hero and fights their way through a fatal battle all to obtain elixir or experience. In this essay I will illustrate how Star Wars: A New Hope relates to The Hero Cycle.

Leeches! (2003 Video)
User ReviewsAdd a Review
the actors all look alike, and i can't tell whose character is who. for a campy horror movie, there is NO sex, not even nudity. and the leeches. the barely muppet-esque, hand puppet leeches. the pain. the agony.
i've watched some bad movies in my time, but this simply takes the cake. a bad aprody of a film student's final project, this is a flick to be avoided AT ALL COSTS. and when something isn't even worth the cost of a 99 cent rental...
it's just bad. out and out painfully, not even mockably bad.
In fairness, the film is not trying to be anything more than a low-level exploitation film. A similarly masochistic buddy of mine watched it with me and we actually found it hilariously funny in a couple of spots. The acting is total cheeseball and the dialogue is ridiculous. The film is charged with homo-eroticism. Come on, it is just hilarious the number of shower scenes that take place, and the fact that all of the guys go into slow motion when they undress to go swimming.
The leeches are pretty funny. They move very slowly ... until they attack. Then suddenly they become piranhas and move with lightening speed. The leeches also have high pitched squeaky voices. Oh yes, this is a special film.
If I was going to be generous I would say you could watch this film as a satire of teen monster movies or that it is maybe a message film -- "Steroids are BAD!" You'll be happier if you watch it and just revel in the b-movie humour. A lot of it is unintentional and the actors all take their parts with a hilarious degree of seriousness. What little hope there might have been for this movie was spoiled by a completely random plot twist in the last moments of the movie.
I was going to list a series of questions that the movie had brought up for me, like why a competitive swim team with an Olympic sized pool would need to swim in a leech infested lake. I don't really want to waste anymore time on this movie though and I hope anyone reading this is doing it pre-emptively. I love bad movies but this is just garbage, sprinkled with a side of unintentional humour.
My favorite in this film, is the Leech coming up the leg of a sleeping hunk, right up to his lower ass, the Leech rears it's head and it looks like he's gonna plunge into the guy's . . . . I was laughing so hard. Alright, serious business here. David, please, please, please can't we have a couple of hot butt shots (naked)!! So. Hot studs. Underwear. Crazy plot. Acting not so good. DeCoteau's dazzling and interesting camera shots. What's not to like??
This is a monster movie, so lets talk about the monsters. What a joke, I could see the string in one scene dragging a lump of green rubber shaped like a turd, across the floor. Woo! That scared the crap out of me. Rest of the time it was a unconvincing hand puppet.Just brutal.
Acting sucked, Story was poor, sets were boring, and my time was wasted. I did like this better then "speeddemons" but that is not saying much.
I can not recommend this movie to a "B" movie monster film lover, or anyone else for that matter, avoid it.
Co-produced & directed by David DeCoteau, who according to the IMDb also has a small uncredited role in the film as Franklin the Walkie Talkie Voice(!), Leeches! is a very poor film throughout. The script by Michael Gingold could have been decent fun as a creature feature type horror but instead it's just lame, it's boring & has no depth as it skates over & all but ignores the drug usage issue. The character's are awful, the dialogue sucks & everyone is one dimensional teenage leech food & wouldn't you notice or feel a huge mutant leech crawling up your naked back? It's one of those films which has an outrageous premise & promises so much but in the end I simply couldn't wait for it to end, speaking of the end there's a 'twist' which comes from nowhere & seemed totally pointless. The body count is low & the leeches themselves are far from scary or threatening, in fact the real leeches used at the start are more effective than the stupid rubber ones.
Leeches! was one of two films director DeCoteau made during '03, the other being Speed Demon (2003), so you can probably guess the sort of time & commitment spent on Leeches! First of all it's true what everyone says about Leeches!, DeCoteau uses & films as many half naked young guys as he can. I can't remember a shot where a guy actually had a shirt on to be honest, constant shots of young men in their speedos as DeCoteau's camera can't get enough of it! Surprisingly this was shot in a 2:35:1 aspect ratio (basically you will have thick bars at the top & bottom of the screen if you see it that way) which could have given DeCoteau the opportunity to make a nice looking & stylish film, he obviously passed the opportunity up. The violence & gore is as restrained as possible, someone coughs some blood up, a few leech bite marks & a decent bit where a wire slices through someone's throat. For some bizarre & highly annoying reason DeCoteau films the weak attack scenes with quick cuts & with strobe lighting effects which happen during the attack's but not before or after, the words cheap 'n' nasty spring to mind.
With a budget that probably wouldn't cover a round of drinks Leeches! is a pretty shoddy production that was probably made with the video/DVD market in mind. Low production values, really poor special effects as the leeches themselves are mostly just glove puppets & are only filmed from half way up their bodies & Leeches! just has that cheap vibe throughout.
Leeches! is a pretty poor film, to it's credit it's short & it moves along at a fair pace although generally speaking it's just poor. If you enjoy looking at half naked young guys then Leeches! is definitely for you, if you enjoy a good horror film then Leeches! definitely isn't for you.
At Lakecrest College, the male swim team, Stevo, (Matt Twining) Jason, (Josh Henderson) Spencer, (Michael Lutz) Tony, (Stephen Sowan) and Fish, (Greg Lyczkowski) are preparing for the swim meet by taking steroids, which Jason's girlfriend Casey, (Stacey Nelson) doesn't approve of. While going swimming for Spring Break, they take a swim in leech-infested waters, and they come back to campus with the leeches following them. As the leeches start devouring the swim team, the remaining members of the team and their girlfriends race to stop the creatures.
The Good News: Speaking as a heterosexual male, it doesn't bother me that the film was an implicit homosexual film. It's quite obvious from the first five minutes that this was the intention of the film, and as such, it succeeds quite capably. There are plenty of shots of young buff men in swim trunks in this movie, and the camera literally lingers over then for minutes at a time for a single scene, and this allows the bodies to be on display for the entire time. It's exactly the sort of thing that would appeal to the kind of characters on screen, as they get loads of moments to ogle over their favorite swimmer. When it wants to, there is some nice gore in here, which is mainly the eaten away faces of the victims. It looks okay, and definitely won't be called one of the goriest movies ever, but it gets the hob done. Plus, any time a film purposefully knocks off the lead couple is quite and refreshing, and gives an anyone can die atmosphere. Much appreciated.
The Bad News: The fact is, even though this is an implicit homosexual movie, it still ends up shooting itself in the foot for several reasons. By keeping it "secular," for lack of a better term, it basically becomes just a tease of itself. It can never be the fully explicit soft-core movie it so wants to be. There isn't really a glory shot in the movie that would make it seem to be that way, and never really goes for what it truly wants to be. Plus, instead of trying to romanticize the scene, which was obviously the intention, the incredibly hokey slow-mo effects are basically a way to just drag the movie's pacing down. Most of the time, the required slow-motion sequences are so out-of-place that by becoming so ridiculously cheesy, the effect of the shot is ruined by forcing us to endure it so often. A couple times is nice, however doing it this many times is just aggravating. It slows the already snail's pace it travels at even slower, and certainly the drug-storyline isn't helping matters. Most of the movie is either implicit soft-core lusting or drug pushing, and not a monster movie. There's already a whole genre of films devoted to anti-drug users, there's no need for them in the movie. Had it been the back-story or a subplot to the monster attacks, it wouldn't be so bad. But, it instead pushes the monster attacks to the back, with the rest of the time spent between the two previously mentioned qualities. Even worse, the creatures in here, being given literally third billing despite their name on the film, aren't that scary. They have a nice low-budget appeal, and an effective reason for being, but themselves are very slow, obviously fakes, and really do nothing other than crawl ever so slowly towards their target. Not that effective for a titular creature.
The Final Verdict: With a little more work, this could've been good. It has enough good elements for all the different plots it has, but the film still has some trouble. It wants to be both, but it succeeds in being neither. Only recommend for those that enjoy these kinds of films, or those thinking about it. Serious horror fans will find too much trouble in here to enjoy.
Rated R: Pervasive homosexual attitudes and themes, gratuitous drug use, Violence and mild language
Also, everything looks like fake in this awful film: monstrous leeches, small leeches, the school lab and even the glasses of the "bright guy"! It was like to watch a Baywatch episode, but where boys replaced all the girls. Worse, it was like a skin flick, but the sex in less, just a director who loves male body. He film them at the lake, running shirtless on the campus, at pool, laying in the bed and in the shower with a water spray which make a cast of their muscles. And tell me why everybody in this movie takes its shower with Speedo or boxers! Would it have also been necessary to make a research on how taking its shower to make it real!?
So why did I see it?
Simple, I was on a swimteam back in the day and I thought: "What an interesting concept!"
Of course, all of the other thoughts in my head kept telling me "Stay away...stay away. You know what this is gonna turn out to be!" But I say to hell with it and rented it anyway.
All of what I thought did come true. Too many speedo shots, boring and obviously mechanical "leeches" and an ending so rushed and so dull I think I could have slapped one of the leeches on my and let it suck out my blood. Just to numb the pain of seeing this film.
Still, the fact of a swimteam taking on a "hord" of killer leeches was fun, funny and out of the norm!
Oh well...I am a sucker of b-movies and will be until my dying day. If they keep making them. I'll keep watching them.
5 out of 10
The only thing I liked about this movie was the hot bodies of the guys. This movie would appeal to bored housewives and gay guys- for about two seconds.
There is nothing of value no matter what your gender or sexual orientation. The director obviously thinks guys are more interesting to watch. The guys are always scanned up and down by the camera and almost always topless.
There's nothing added to the movie to make up for the lack of special effects, sanity and imagination. If you're going to make a B thriller movie, at least make it interesting.
If you are gay or very naieve you will like this movie. I hate every actor in this movie, and if they were actually eaten by leeches, that would be a very good thing. TERRIBLE, there is no point to list how many bad specific areas in how bad this movie.
TERRIBLE: Sprecial effects, gayness, dialogue so low you cant hear it. Homoertocism is what the purpose of this film apparently is. Its currently on sci-fi right now, I thought I would watch it to make fun of it, but when i realized just how bad this is, I had to go online to write this review, I'm going to turn it off and take a nap insead, and thats what I recommend rather than watching this movie. It doesn't even deserve the 2.8/10 it currently has. My score: -0.05/10

Super Falcons captain Asisat Oshoala believes it will be beneficial for the country to stage the 2020 African Women’s Cup of Nations.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has expressed interest to host this year’s women’s continental showpiece after Congo Brazzaville pulled out last year over lack of funds.
With CAF racing against time to name a new host for the 12-team event slated to kick off in November, Equatorial Guinea are also intensifying effort to win the hosting right.
Oshoala insists hosting the women’s continental event will prepare the country ahead of the upcoming Women’s U-17 and U-20 World Cup tournaments.
“I think it is a very good move by the country and the Nigeria Football Federation,” Oshoala told Goal.
“We really need this because Nigeria lost out in the bid to secure the hosting rights for the U20 Women’s World Cup this year. We have what it takes to host the continent.”
View this post on Instagram
Grateful to be African Women’s Player of the year for the 4th time. Thank God, my Family, Friends and Fans for the support. Big shoutout to my club , my management , team mates at both national team and club level and of course thanks to @caf_online for the opportunity ❤❤🙏🏾
“If they can get the rights to host the African Women’s Cup of Nations this year, it will be good for our country’s football.
“It will also prepare the country ahead of the U17 Women’s World Cup and U20 Women’s World Cup tournaments. I believe if we can host one of these events for us to prepare for the bigger stage.”


Every year in April, alumni, faculty, students and friends of Virginia Tech participate in the "Run in Remembrance." It's not technically a 5K (3.1 miles) but instead a 3.2 mile race. The extra distance serves to honor the 32 lives lost in the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. This year, due to risks associated with COVID-19, the university has had to get creative in order to still honor the individuals that this event celebrates.

It's not a question you'd expect a funnel cake restaurant to ask, but Funnel Cake Queen, of Decatur, Ala., is no stranger to exceeding expectations.

A North Carolina charity recently bought an entire hotel with plans to convert it into housing for the homeless so 88 families in need will have a place to call home.


The Community Housing Fund is available to community-led groups across England to support the delivery of new affordable homes up to 31st March 2020.
Funding outside of London is being led by Homes England, while funding for London will be delivered by the Greater London Authority.
The fund will be run in two phases, with phase one assisting community groups with applications for revenue grants for the pre-development stage of community-led housing projects.
Bidding is open to all organisations which are constituted as a body corporate or intend to become so.
It will also allow local authorities to bid for capital funding for small-scale infrastructure projects.
Phase two of the fund will be launched later this year.
- LGA says definition of affordable housing must include homes for social rent
- Sadiq Khan launches portal for affordable homes
- Homes England to launch new framework to speed up housebuilding
Nick Walkley, chief executive at Homes England, said: “Community-led housing is about local people playing a leading role in solving local housing problems to provide affordable homes and strengthen communities in ways that aren’t always possible to achieve through mainstream housing.”
Homes England has been created to take a more commercial approach to the housing issues in the UK.
It plans to play a leading role in helping to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the middle of the next decade, an increase on the 217,000 new homes built in 2017.
“At Homes England, we’re determined to increase the supply of homes across all tenures and increase capacity in the housing sector,” added Nick.
“This is a really important fund, which will offer lasting impact and we look forward to receiving bids from community groups across England.”

The goal of Super Hexagon is to control a small triangle which circles around a central hexagon (which occasionally collapses into a pentagon or square in the hexagon and hyper hexagon difficulty) while avoiding contact in the front with incoming "walls" (touching the sides is allowed). The game has six difficulties, a set of "normal" modes - Hexagon, Hexagoner, and Hexagonest - and a set of "Hyper" versions of those levels which are unlocked upon surviving for 60 seconds or more on their respective normal modes. After surviving 60 seconds in the normal modes the level will change into the hyper mode, along with changes to the colour, speed and gauntlet patterns of the level. Further surviving another 60 seconds in the first two levels (Hexagon and Hexagoner) will result in a palette swap of colors, continuing at the same difficulty. Surviving a further 60 seconds (in normal mode, this means you have survived 180 seconds), the game will change to the next level of hyper hexagon difficulty. Surviving 120 seconds in Hexagonest will not cause this, but surviving 60 seconds in Hyper Hexagonest will change the appearance of the game to a stationary hexagon (top and bottom parallel to top and bottom of screen), black background, and white walls. Every attempt on any given difficulty is timed, with the best survival time being saved separately for each level as a high score. The timer resets upon "death" (collision with a wall). All high scores are tracked on the leaderboards, in which people can choose to view friends scores or worldwide scores. This is done via Steam for PC, Game Center for iOS and the Play Games feature of the Play Store for Android.
Wall locations are different for each mode, and ordered in different "gauntlets" (sections of repeated walls), which are different upon each attempt, forcing the player to learn how to navigate each set of wall locations rather than the level as a whole. Hyper modes of their respective difficulties contain a similar set of wall locations with some variations, but they appear faster than previously encountered.
Completion of the game is awarded to the player when 60 seconds have been survived on the Hexagonest difficulty (normal ending) and the Hyper Hexagonest difficulty (true ending). However the true ending cannot be obtained by surviving for 120 seconds in the Hexagonest difficulty (completing the regular Hexagonest difficulty then the subsequent Hyper Mode immediately after that). For completing each level, there are achievements available on the Steam, iOS and Android versions.

Garry Ortner, a Louisiana High School Soccer Coaches' Association Hall of Fame Coach, died Tuesday night in the Baton Rouge Burn Unit at the age of 65.
Complications stemming from an accident led to his nearly four week battle.
Ortner is survivded by his wife Toni and their children, Michelle and Michael.
The funeral is at Honaker Funeral Home in Slidell. The address for the funeral home is 1751 Gause Blvd West. The visitation is from 11 a.m. -1 p.m. with the service at 1 p.m. They had previously set up an account at any State Investors Bank for donations. There is no idea how much their insurance will cover but any money left over from the donations will then passed along as a another donation to the Burn unit at the hospital.
Right now, we pray for the repose of Coach Ortner's soul and for the comforting of the entire Ortner family.
Ortner launched his prep soccer coaching career an assistant coach at Northshore High School in Slidell where he and his daughter Mcihelle racked up four straight state championships (1986-90). He eventually took over Jesuit's program in 1993 after three years as an assistant. He then led the Blue Jays to three state titles along with a number one ranking in the United States. He retired after winning the 2002 State Championship 3-0 over my Brother Martin squad and finished his Jesuit tenure with a 210-25-11 record.
Garry was President of Slidell Youth Soccer Club was elected Vice President of Boys Programs for the Louisiana Soccer Association. He served as General Manager for the New Orleans Riverboat Gamblers, the semi-pro team that played in New Orleans during the 1990’s. He coached youth teams of all ages during his coaching career.
Ortner's death is a deep loss to the soccer community which rallied around him this month via a blood drive at Mandeville Soccer Club where his son Michael is one of their coaching directors, and prays for him through the radio on my Monday Night Futbol show.
We will be doing a special tribute broadcast this Monday in honor of his lifetime of service to our community, not only as a soccer coach but as a veteran of 27 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. Rest assured that our prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to the Ortner family.

Homeless UEL student Michelle starts Sunshine Academy to train Gambia villagers in solar energy
- Credit: UEL
A pioneering social enterprise is about to spark off in a remote part of West Africa—thanks to an inspiring mature student at the University of East London who lost her job and was recently made homeless.
Mature student Michelle Gibb aims to start ‘Sunshine Academy’, a project to provide a village in Gambia with solar panels and training to build solar-powered mobile phone chargers and lamps.
“I want to give villagers the means to make their own solar-powered technology and be micro-entrepreneurs,” Michelle explained. “Several charities send useful solar-powered tech, but I want to put the knowledge and material into the hands of the people.”
Michelle’s achievement in setting up the project in a partnership deal with Off-Grid Europe renewable energy company is all the more remarkable, having been homeless and out of work.
“I found myself struggling to get a job,” she recalls. “So I decided to improve my skills and get a degree at UEL.
“Unfortunately, I went into mortgage arrears and ended up losing my house and facing homelessness.”
Michelle—without a roof over her head—had to defer her second year at UEL.

She made her way to Mamuda, a village on the banks of the Gambia River, working on community development projects.
“I planned to get some land, build a home and start a new life,” she tells you.
“But I witnessed difficulties villagers faced with simple tasks such as charging their mobile phones. They would walk up to three miles to charge them, leaving them overnight, then walking back to collect the next day.”
Then a light flicked on in Michelle’s head and she hit on the idea for her Sunshine Academy to train the villagers in solar energy technology to run their own electricity project.
She returned to east London to finish her degree course, spurred on by her dream of giving the villagers a better life, and is currently in her third year studying Sociology—aiming to turn her Sunshine Academy into reality.
She has now secured the backing of Off-Grid Europe to provide solar panel off-cuts from their manufacturing process.
Off-Grid Europe consultant Mark Kragh said: “I know how exciting it can be starting a social enterprise and the challenges to overcome. But the satisfaction is great of changing lives for the better in a sustainable way.”
Michelle has also won the support of local Newham councillor Aleen Alarice in east London, who has agreed to be a Sunshine Academy patron.
She is now raising funds to put her plans into action and is on the look-out for companies and wellwishers for financial support.
The villagers in Mamuda, meanwhile, are so anxious at the prospect of making their own sun-powered energy that the head villager has put aside land to build the academy skills centre.


RATIONALE: Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is currently considered to be a conventional glycomics analysis strategy due to the high sensitivity and ability to handle complex biological samples. Interpretation of LC/MS data is a major bottleneck in high-throughput glycomics LC/MS-based analysis. The complexity of LC/MS data associated with biological samples prompts the needs to develop computational tools capable of facilitating automated data annotation and quantitation.
METHODS: An LC/MS-based automated data annotation and quantitation software, MultiGlycan-ESI, was developed and utilized for glycan quantitation. Data generated by the software from LC/MS analysis of permethylated N-glycans derived from fetuin were initially validated by manual integration to assess the performance of the software. The performance of MultiGlycan-ESI was then assessed for the quantitation of permethylated fetuin N-glycans analyzed at different concentrations or spiked with permethylated N-glycans derived from human blood serum.
RESULTS: The relative abundance differences between data generated by the software and those generated by manual integration were less than 5%, indicating the reliability of MultiGlycan-ESI in quantitation of permethylated glycans analyzed by LC/MS. Automated quantitation resulted in a linear relationship for all six N-glycans derived from 50 ng to 400 ng fetuin with correlation coefficients greater than 0.93. Spiking of permethylated fetuin N-glycans at different concentrations in permethylated N-glycan samples derived from a 0.02 μL of HBS also exhibited linear agreement with values greater than 0.9.
CONCLUSIONS: With a variety of options, including mass accuracy, merged adducts, and filtering criteria, MultiGlycan-ESI allows automated annotation and quantitation of LC/ESI-MS N-glycan data. The software allows the reliable quantitation of glycan LC/MS data. The software is reliable for automated glycan quantitation, thus facilitating rapid and reliable high-throughput glycomics studies.

Leading London visitor attractions experience record numbers
Tuesday 4, March 2014
Londonâ€™s visitor attractions have experienced a 12 percent increase in visitor numbers, according to statistics, released by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) today (Wednesday, March 5, 2014).

Flashcards in Hot spots- Content Deck (10)
What are some examples of location of hot spots?
- the Deccan Traps in India
- the Hawaiian islands
- Yellowstone supervolcano
What is the main theory of how hot spots form?
1. Intensive radioactivity in the Earth's interior creates upwelling lava known as a magma plume
2. The plume pushes upwards and plastic rocks in the asthenosphere become molten, melting the crust above. This lies in a fixed position
3. The plate moves over the hot spot and the upwelling magma creates a succession of volcanoes that migrate with the plate
How do volcanic island chains form?
- the plume lies at a fixed position
- the ocean floor moves over this hot spot and the upwelling magma causes a steady succession of new volcanoes which forms a chain of volcanic islands
What is an example of a volcanic island chain, where is it located and how fast does the plate move per year?
- the hot spot is at a fixed position under the Pacific plate
- the Pacific plate is moving quite fast here at around 5 inches per year
How do supervolcanoes form?
- a column of magma rises through a vent in the Earth's crust (if at a hot spot, this is continental crust)
- the magma becomes stuck and pools, melting the surrounding rock for thousands of years
- over these years, pressure builds up, causing an eruption which drains the magma lake of melted rock so the land above collapses, forming the caldera of a supervolcano
What are some general facts about Yellowstone supervolcano?
- close to 100km across in size
- small eruptions have occurred every 20 to 3000 years
- the cycle of caldera eruptions is estimated to be around every 600,000 to 700,000 years but it is difficult to predict when the next one will be
Why is Yellowstone there?
Beneath Yellowstone there is a hot spot which settled 2 million years ago there
What are some possible warnings of another Yellowstone eruption?
- since 1996 there has been an uplift in land level which could be due to small injections of magma pushing up the land or gas build up
- in 1999 a group of scientists found a bulge under Yellowstone lake floor which could warn an explosion
- Yellowstone has 5000km of eruptible material
What would be the consequences of a Yellowstone eruption?
- columns of ash would be ejected 10s of km in the air
- would kill thousands of people due to pyro clastic flows
- the ash would cover the Great Plains, halting grain production for the USA
- economic activity would be therefore affected and growing seasons worldwide could be stopped
