"A Bird Bit Me" And Other Dubious Excuses For Calling In Sick [Life Inc.]
No shocker here: 30% of workers admit to calling in sick when they weren't actually under the weather, according to a new Careerbuilder survey. What is surprising? Some of the ridiculous excuses people use, such as one employee calling in because she was too upset after watching The Hunger Games; another saying he was sick from reading too much; and one person who said the sobriety tool wouldn't allow his car to start. What motivates the strategies behind these excuses? Experts say some people feel the more detail they provide, the more believable the excuse will be.

How To Train Your Fat Cells [US News & World Report]
For overweight people with type 2 diabetes, intensive exercise and dieting not only aid weight loss, they can also help train their fat cells to produce a hormone believed to boost production of "good" cholesterol, according to a new study from The Methodist Hospital in Houston.
The Drink Swap That Isn't Doing You Any Favors [USA Today]
Diet drink consumption has increased over the past decade, finds a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diet drinking for women is up from 18% in 2000 to 21% in 2010, and up from 14% to 19% for men. And while we're all for cutting down on sugar, diet soda isn't exactly a health food. Check out these 7 side effects of drinking diet soda.
Metal In Your Mini Wheats [The Wall Street Journal]
Retailers were contacted this week about the recall of 2.8 million packages of Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite-Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size, which are being pulled from store shelves due to possible contamination by pieces of metal mesh. On Wednesday, Kellogg Co. said it would swallow the nearly $30 million cost to cover the recall. No injuries have been reported.
The Refrigerator That Only Opens If You Smile [Mashable]
Who doesn't feel like grinning when a case of "hanger" strikes (you know, hunger + anger = your feeling h-angry)? Um, yeah. But you'd better fake it anyway. Researchers at the University of Toyko have developed a smile-activated refrigerator, which requires users to flash a grin before entering. The system, which is called the "The Happiness Counter," aims to naturally encourage smiling in our every day lives.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

It's snowing! In the mountains of Maryland and West Virginia at least.
Reports from places like Garrett County in western Md., where elevations routinely rise past 2,000-3,000 feet, indicate both snow falling and light (up to a few inches) snow accumulation today.

Why the October snow?
Behind the strong cold front that passed through yesterday, much colder air that's threatening the first freeze in the immediate area in coming days is also mixing with some moisture rising up into the mountains. A process called upsloping is largely responsible for the precipitation formation.
The moisture sources here include a small passing mid-level system and lake effect moisture streaming in off the Great Lakes. In this case, a westerly surface wind is limiting low-level moisture transport just a bit, keeping totals on the light side. But, early in the season, any snow is good snow!
Snow at this time of the year is not too uncommon in the highest elevations of Maryland and West Virginia. Just last year, much of that region was paralyzed by snow related to Superstorm Sandy. Closer in to the city, it has snowed and stuck as recently as 2011 to close out October.
Related: Season's first snow falls in western Maryland
While a few flakes have been reported even around Hagerstown, Md., accumulation should remain limited to the very highest elevations due to temperatures just barely supportive of it sticking at that level. Midday sun rays penetrating the clouds also are likely to limit road impacts in areas seeing snow, though some tricky travel may occur after sundown.
It is possible someone closer to the D.C. area sees a flake or two mix in with any shower today, though the opportunity is probably dwindling and should mainly remain northwest of the area.
Take a look at some of the snowy imagery posted to Twitter…

Isael Rojas THOUGHT he was just going to enjoy some good ol' Mexican food at Paisanos in Dallas last Saturday night. Little did he know that this night would produce an AWESOME viral video getting millions of hits. He captured a crazy 5-minute video of a brawl that broke out he believes because of chips and salsa.
In this video you will see almost everything you want to see in a brawl like women pulling hair, a man taking on 3 other guys and even the Jerry Springer chair throw…. But many many chairs are thrown in this video instead of 1 (see if YOU can count how many). You will also see things you've probably never seen before like high chairs being thrown (don't worry there are no babies harmed in this video to our knowledge), men pulling off other men's clothing and an intermittent sign reading "Hechas a Mano"… which is hilarious because that means 'Made by Hand'. Just when you think this 5-minute brawl is over…. Another one breaks out just behind the one that half the crowd just broke up. THESE are our Millennials my friends… the responsible adults who will be changing our diapers and feeding us when we're old… Oh crap!
My favorite quote from the video feed had me rolling on the floor!:
Steven Vang: I heard that's the best place to get tacos, and knocked the f@*% out! Lol
According to Fox News the fight was because one chick bumped into another chick… wow I feel like this is a throwback attitude from the 90's or something. I'm glad I don't live in Dallas where attitudes are such that someone knocks into you builds a grudge so deep and fast that you leave an entire restaurant covered in chips and salsa and chair pieces.
The main guy in the fight, Anguiano says the fight is not something he's proud of.
"If I could go back in time, I'd wish I didn't go there that night," he said. "I'm completely sorry about what happened at the restaurant. I really don't know what to say. I'm just sorry."
I ask you… do YOU think this brawl was worth the time to sit and watch? While very entertaining to watch (trust me at some point almost ALL of America will have watched this) do people think of what this implies about our modern culture? People under thirty in America really don't have the self-control anymore to NOT be the savages I see in this video. How would you have reacted if you were in that restaurant? Please comment below!

Parts of a Cell
Cell Wall and Memebrane
The cell wall is the outer supportive layer of the cell. It's a rigid structure that helps keep all the inside parts of the cell intact and together. The membrane is the protective layer that keeps the cell closed and safe.
The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It's the center and it controls the cell and holds the DNA of its cell it is in.
The ribosome is where all the amino acids are kept safe and hooked together to make proteins.
Endoplasmic Riticulum
The endoplasmic riticulum is the organelle that makes packages for proteins for Golgi complex, breaks down drugs and other substances, and makes lipids.
The mitochondria breaks down food molecules to make ATP.
The chloroplast takes sun light energy and uses it to make and provide food.
Golgi Complex
The golgi complex is where proteins and other materials are processed and transported out of the cell.
The vacuole is where the water and other materials are placed in the cell.
The lysosome is the organelle that breaks down and absorbs food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders.
Tissue is a group of cells who do the similar function and work together to do that common function.
Cells to Organs, Organs to Organ System, Organ Systems to Organism
Cells must first become tissue then they become and organ by doing their common function. Once they become an organ they become part of a bigger group like the heart in the cardio vascular system the different organs do different things so that when they work together they will do a common goal. Once there are multiple organ systems that make up an organsim and when they all work together they make life.
Differences Between Animal and Plant Cells
A plant cell is always a boxy shape and the animal cell can be any kind of shape. The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplast, and a central vacuole.

Nintendo's upcoming home console, the Wii U, is still quite away off from official release, but it's clear that the company is putting all of its focus on Wii U's development and promotion and as such, the Wii has gradually been losing steam for a long, long time. Titles are becoming fewer and fewer, arguably nonexistent to most games, with the last blockbuster release being Skyward Sword outside of the more recent Mario Party 9. But the system's WiiWare service has been suffering even more, to the point where a few indie developers have given up on releasing games on it.
Indie developer Nicalis was originally planning to release their game, called La-Mulana, in the western hemisphere on WiiWare, after their initial release of the game on PC back in 2008 and an updated release in June of last year on WiiWare in Japan. However, they felt that the number of people who regularly use WiiWare has decreased significantly from its prime in 2008-2009, and that it would be "near-impossible" to sell a significant number of games on it.
La-Mulana is a side-scrolling 2D action platformer, in which the player controls an Indiana Jones-esque character, exploring various ruins and jungles for… something. It isn't clearly defined what in the trailer, beyond something about a seal being broken and "she" descending to the Earth. You can make your own judgements by viewing the trailer below, which showed that the game was slated to appear here in winter of 2009.
Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez said that, with the WiiWare sales being almost "non-existent" and Nintendo's focus on the Wii U, he simply made the necessary judgement call, and didn't bear any ill will to Nintendo as a whole. Although this is another game of a Nintedo platform not offering good support for third parties, something the Wii entirely failed to do throughout its lifecycle.
The Wii slate looks to be rather dry right now, but if you're looking Xenoblade Chronicles is out (see our review here), the Kirby 20th anniversary collection is coming soon, along with a re-release of Pikmin 2.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
While Google Earth censors satellite images of sensitive locations like the White House in the United States with color blocks, images of locations similarly critical to national security in Australia are freely available in Google Earth.
Australian sites like Australia's only nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney, the secret US spy base at Pine Gap, outside Alice Springs, and Parliament House in the nation's capital city Canberra are currently not restricted.
The executive director of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Ian Smith, is quoted in "The Australian" newspaper as saying that he would ask Google to remove the Lucas Heights reactor from Google Earth. Google has defended Google Earth by saying that the satellite images were between 6 and 18 months old and didn't show very much detail.
A Google spokeswoman stated, "The same information is available to anyone who flies over or drives by a piece of property". The company that supplied the images to Google, Digital Globe, said that it did not censor any images, and that Google was free to use and distribute the images as they like.

CHANCE FOR A SPINSTER–a young man in Aroostook County, Maine advertising for a wife, speaks of himself as follows: "I am eighteen years old, and have a good set of teeth and believe in Andy Johnson, the star spangled banner, and the 4th of July. I have taken up a State lot, cleared 18 acres last year, and seeded ten of it down. My buckwheat looks first rate, and the oats and potatoes are bully. I have got nine sheep, a two-year-old bull, and two heifers, besides a house and barn. I want to get married. I want to buy bread-and-butter, hoop skirts, and waterfalls for some person of the female persuasion during life. That's what's the matter with me. But I don't know how to do it."

The UNESCO PERSIST project has produced a report, available from IFLA, on Guidelines for the Selection of Digital Heritage for Long-Term Preservation:
The aim of the Guidelines is to provide an overarching starting point for libraries, archives, museums and other heritage institutions when drafting their own policies on the selection of digital heritage for long-term sustainable digital preservation --
While this sounds like it's only addressing "traditional" digitization, the guidelines also include web archiving, social media, and other forms of digital selection. Written in non-technical language, it looks like a very useful resource. ...
A very good report on crowdsourced transcription tools from my friend Ben Brumfield. Although written specifically for a transcription project for the Wellcome Library (focusing on culinary and medicinal recipes, which sounds like a cool project in itself), it provides good general information about available tools, user requirements, and risk analysis for this type of project, which should be useful for similar projects under consideration by other institutions.

There are three types of companies out there.
When looking for an agency, you have a choice between the well-known big agency, the lesser known, but growing mid-sized firm, and then the small boutique. There are several factors that will play into your decision. How reputable is the company? Who are their clients? How much do they charge? And sometimes it may even boil down to that fuzzy feeling you get when you meet them in person. So how do you go about deciding on an agency that works for you?
Here are 5 things to look for when searching for an agency:
- Company Culture. If your company values border on the conservative side and the agency prides themselves on pushing boundaries and lives for shock value, then perhaps that is not agency for you (unless you're trying to revamp your image). Does the agency share a similar set of values to your company? This will save you a lot of time when trying to explain why the "Dye Your Hair Purple" social media campaign may not work well for your company and your company's intended audience.
- Track Record. What do you know about their track record? Do you know people who have used them and been satisfied? We live in an age of referrals and recommendations so if you know somebody who has already used an agency and has been satisfied, then the choice can be obvious. Ask your referral three or four things they liked and disliked about their experience with the particular agency and make sure that the dislikes are things that are tolerable to you and your company.
- Customer Service. As obvious as this may seem, their level of attentiveness to you should remain consistent throughout the "courting" process and after. All too often, agencies will introduce you to their finest, most competent folks and then when you sign on those people vanish. Don't be afraid to ask questions about who will be assigned to your account and if you can meet with them before you sign on.
- Warm, Fuzzy Feeling. No, seriously. Sometimes you meet the small, boutique agency with no track record (yet), no referrals that you know of, but there is an undeniable rapport in your meetings. They get you, you get them. Sometimes it just boils down to a gut feeling and a little bit of faith.
- Price. We of course can't leave out price. A majority of your decisions will come down to whether or not they fit into your price budget. That being said, don't deny the other 4 factors when narrowing down your choices of those who fit within your price range.
Searching for a digital marketing agency should be a well-thought out process. Often times, you are not only implementing their solutions, but you are also implementing the people that you are working closest with from the agency. Your most profitable investment will be one where there is a strong mutual understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. So take your time to do your research and let them get to know who you are as a company.
As Benjamin Franklin once stated, "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."

Jets down CapitalsJan 23, 2013 - 3:54 AM
Andrew Ladd and Jim Slater each scored once, while Ondrej Pavelec registered 32 saves to help the Jets earn their first victory of the lockout-shortened season.
"I thought it was a really solid effort from start to finish," Ladd remarked. "We had four lines going and we were smart with the pucks, and that led to a lot of good things."
Matt Hendricks and Troy Brouwer recorded a goal apiece and Braden Holtby was charged with all four goals on 39 shots for the Capitals, who opened their season with a 6-3 setback in Tampa Bay.
The Capitals had won their last 10 home openers, with their last loss coming on Oct. 6, 2000 against Los Angeles.
Washington struck at the 10:02 mark of the first when Hendricks deflected a Nicklas Backstrom pass into the back of the net with his skate, but the Jets countered with four unanswered goals to take control.
The first two came later in the first period while on the power play. From below the goal line, Kane tried to feed a pass through the slot that deflected off the skate of Washington defenseman John Carlson and trickled past Holtby to knot the game at the 12:34 mark.
Then, just under four minutes later, Ladd stepped into the slot and one-timed a shot past Holtby to give the Jets a 2-1 edge at 16:26.
Winnipeg added to its lead late in the second stanza, as Kane worked past his defender by banking the puck to himself off the left boards before sliding a pass through the slot to Wheeler, who one-timed it past Holtby for a 3-1 lead with 5:28 remaining.
Winnipeg tacked on another tally in the final minute of the frame when Slater got position in front of the net and tipped in a Dustin Byfuglien blast to make it 4-1.
Pavelec was able to keep the Capitals off the board for much of the third until Brouwer buried a power-play goal with 1:16 to play to account for the final margin.
"I thought we could have had better execution," admitted Washington coach Adam Oates, who fell to 0-2 in his brief NHL head coaching career. "We didn't give ourselves the opportunity to play the team game. We turned it over on the blue line too many times, little subtle things that could have gone better to help ourselves."
Game Notes
Washington defenseman Mike Green played in his 400th career NHL game ... Winnipeg has won four straight against the Capitals ... Byfuglien finished with two assists for the Jets ... Backstrom added two assists for the Capitals.

Programs We Offer
Getting started is easy. The first step is to schedule a complimentary introductory lesson with one of our trained instructors.
During that lesson, your instructor will determine your current level and recommend an appropriate course upon which to continue. To set up your complimentary introductory lesson now fill out our online contact form.
Get Started: the Introductory or Planning Program
The Introductory or Planning Program introduces the student to useful and fun dances and to basic steps required to begin enjoying them. Emphasis is placed on three important points; (1) foot position in basic patterns (2) leading and following (3) timing (how the step fits to the music). We use plenty of variety to keep your learning experience interesting.
Become a Social Dancer: the Associate Bronze Medalist Program
On an Associate Bronze (Medalist) Program we teach freer movement around the floor while expanding variety, technique and footwork building upon the fundamentals of the Introductory or Planning Program. Associate Bronze dancers are introduced to the styling that begins to develop the dances' characteristics. This dance program is very popular for those who want to get on the social dance floor as quickly as possible.
Command the Dance Floor: the Full Bronze (Medalist) Program
Full Bronze is the level at which students truly can command any social dance floor they set their shoes upon. The styling of this level makes a dancer look and feel comfortable and confident, strengthens their leading or following skills with any partner, allows them to express any music being played in any dance venue.
Be a Star: the Silver (Medalist) Program
Flashy movements make the Silver Level dancer "Shine" on the dance floor. Advanced continuity movement teaches how to glide with flight dramatically across the floor. Technique is imperative at this level and it is common for students at this level to be strongly attracted to competition.
Be the best: the Gold (Medalist) Program
Our Gold standard is for the passionate hobby dancer interested in performances, exhibitions or competitions. Often, it's intricate patterns can only to be used when both partners are proficient and are generally not used on crowded floors. Choreography, styling, technique and showmanship are necessities in this level. Although there is a lot of devotion required to reach this level, you can be sure you will always be truly regarded as an outstanding dancer.
Check out our Calendar to see all the classes for each of these programs!
- My husband and I used the Van Nuys [Blvd] location to learn a first dance for our wedding. They're amazing dancers, teachers and people in general. They even helped us edit the music. We have expanded our package and are excited to continue forward with our dance lessons with Rebecca who looks like she could be Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter. She's amazing to work with very helpful and patient. It's worth every penny.Alesia B.
- We love love love our dance instructor Natalya!!! She is an incredible teacher and dancer! She is patient with us as we learn as well as encouraging us to constantly strive to do better. We've also had the chance to work with other instructors and all of them bring something unique to our lessons that enhances our experience. Now that we have been taking lessons for awhile, they begin to tag team instructors, which allows you to have other perspectives and styles...We've taken up a new hobby, met new friends, getting in better shape and are having a blast!! We highly recommend Arthur Murray Sherman Oaks!!!! If we could give them more stars we would!Mandy R.
- "From the moment I walked into the Arthur Murray dance studio I felt like I was in good hands. Coming from a dance background, I was looking for a technique specialized studio in international latin ballroom. I am from Austria therefore social dancing is basically mandatory as a teenager.I went to the world famous dancing schools Elmayer and Rueff where I graduated from all medal programs including diamond. Another highlight was the ballroom season every year in which I opened a lot of different balls as a debutante in a while dress. I haven't really been ballroom dancing since I moved to the US five years ago. I was scared that the studios here would disappoint me but it was completely the opposite I was excited how comfortable but still challenged I felt from the moment I started at Arthur Murray. Martin my fabulous dance instructor was able to get me to remember why ballroom dancing once was my greatest passion. He has an amazing sense and fine feeling of what each student wants to achieve. The studio has a very personal atmosphere, like a little family. The teachers are truly there for the clients and considerate of their wishes and goals. Furthermore, there are a lot of different payment plans so it is affordable to everyone. Your instructor and the always welcoming supervisor Tom will create a program tailored exactly to your needs. All I have to say is:'Why are you still reading, come on and dance.' "Eva D.
- My husband frequently travels for work and we didn't have any time to prepare for our first dance. I tried calling other dance studios in the area and Arthur Murray was the ONLY studio that actually answered the phone.I explained my situation and let them know we had only a week and a half to prepare. The receptionist told me about a special they were running on Amazon [no longer available on Amazon-visit Groupon instead] for two private lessons and two group classes.Although we didn't have time to attend the group classes, we made use of our two private lessons. It was worth every penny! Luckily, my (then) fiancé and I both love to dance and our instructor was able to choreograph a beautiful (and simple) first danceWe just got married on Saturday and our lessons paid off. We're incredibly grateful to our instructors at Arthur Murray for making us look like rock stars on the dance floor!Siera N.
- I came in for a free dance lesson with my boyfriend, and honestly wasn't expecting it to be so much fun. By the end of it, both of us were seriously considering signing up for regular lessons.Dani was our instructor, and she was everything I could have asked for as a newbie to this world. She walked us through a few different dances -- cha cha, waltz, etc. -- just to give us some basics and a flavor of what more in-depth lessons would be like. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun. Plus the schedule is so open and flexible.Angelica C.
- Our wedding planner directed us to Arthur Murray, and we called and set up an appointment. I talked to Tom on the phone and he was very nice and helpful. He was equally so in person when we went in later that week.Our first half-hour lesson was free...Sure enough we bought a package... Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional, and the dance lessons were crucial to our wedding...Steph C.

In the end of the game (PS2), there was a small territory (a "low density" Vagos turf) to earn in the Bayside Marina... I wanted to know if you came up with this too before editing.Kurwa Romek 12:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes I've encountered this too, it wasn't because of the Marc's Bistro mission either, its just there.
And when I toke over it, it strangely gets attacked now and then.Snake. 22:11, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
Town or city?
Hey, is Bayside really a city? Or is it just a town in Tierra Robada? I'm a bit confused. Masterpogihaha 02:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Bayside is a town, not a city. I've now changed the article, so it explains Bayside is a town. A-Dust 02:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
There's a chapel in Bayside that, according to the model name, is based on a chapel in Presidio in San Francisco. A simple search leads me to a chapel that is extremely similar to the one in SA but mirrored. Could Bayside also be based on Presidio?--spaceeinstein 14:34, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
Can anyone make sense of this?
I've removed the following text from the article, which I present here verbatim. If anyone can make sense of it, or at least translate it into English, please feel free to put it back into the article:
- There is a very strange thing on a beach of Bayside.Ghost Vortex.Vortex can drive on the land and water.This one drives whitout DRIVER.Similar to ghost cars.
23skidoo 14:04, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
Chances are what they were trying to say was the a Vortex (one of the hovercrafts) could "drive" on it's own. I've seen sometimes when a vortex spawns it rolls away because of the air under the vehicle. The editor that wrote that probably had no common sense. Russelnorthrop 02:11, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
Whoever edited it to say the Police is really the Rural Police, I knew this. Its strange, when my game loads up, 25% of the time a Rural Police Ranger spawns chasing someone.Freighttrain12 (talk) 15:36, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Label: sonig
LP Germany
- Electro / Electronic
- 30149751
Sonig is an independent record label based in Cologne, Germany, founded 1997 and run by Frank Dommert. Tugging at the borders between digital (dsp) & analogue technology, electro-acoustic experimentation and improvisation, promoting dissent and differentiation is what Sonig is all about. It aims at conceptual and organizational stratagems which can provide both a creative outlet and an accessible forum for discussion, a space in which new terms for music can be located.
The artists at Sonig play to their own standards, complexities, dynamics and non-linearities. There are countless musical styles and schools, there is a heavy tradition in music: all waiting to be deciphered and reconstructed by our collective efforts.
Sonig stands for an extended reconsideration of what pop music has always promised but never fulfilled: individuality and nonconformity, abstract machines against trivial images. Sonig releases albums, 7"s, 12"s and supports live performances from international artists.

Reviewed by The Foywonder
Starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Victoria Pratt
Directed by Steven R. Monroe
You may have seen the Mongolian death worm featured on such cryptozoology programs as "Destination Truth", "Lost Tapes", and "MonsterQuest". Witnesses that claim to have seen it describe these worms as being 2-5 feet in length, bright red in color, and say it hunts by either spitting acid or disabling victims with an electric shock discharge. Doesn't that sound like prime fodder for a Syfy monster movie? Maybe one day Syfy will make a movie about the Mongolian death worm because Mongolian Death Worm sure as heck isn't a Mongolian death worm movie.
Instead director Steven R. Monroe prepares for his remake of I Spit on Your Grave by helming a Syfy flick that you'd swear came about because a producer somewhere watched Peter Jackson's King Kong remake and decided those head-swallowing worms from the insect pit scene deserved their own picture. These decidedly non-Mongolian death worm worms appear to be bigger than five feet, they are not red, they don't spew acid, and they don't paralyze prey with electric shocks. They do roar for some reason. Could have just as easily changed the title to Worm Monsters of the Gobi or Attack of the Giant Banana Slugs or Tremors 10: Quest for the Lost Treasure of Ghengis Khan.
Just as the worms are Mongolian death worms in name only, the same can be said for the country of Mongolia seen in the movie. There sure don't appear to be many Mongolians in Mongolia. What Mongolian characters there are get relegated to minor roles that mostly end with them either getting shot to death or eaten by monster worms. The only Mongolian character of any importance is a cop, a Mongolian cop dressed in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and Wrangler blue jeans driving around Mongolia in a vehicle with the word SHERIFF written on the side in English. Don't suppose this might all have to do with the movie being shot on location in Texas?
Sean Patrick Flanery of Boondock Saints fame does his most annoying Dane Cook impression as a scrappy American running around Mongolia with a meter that detects electrical volts he contends will somehow help him finally locate the tomb in which Genghis Khan's lost treasure is buried. Legend says that the death worms guard over the treasure, so when faced with a giant killer worm, rather than reacting with abject terror, he just realizes he's getting closer to his goal.
Victoria Pratt, formerly of "Cleopatra 2525" and "Mutant X", sounds bored with her thankless role as a Doctors Without Borders physician paying Flanery for a ride to a nearby village suffering from an outbreak. Her relationship with the initially selfish Flanery will remain platonic; just as well given their lack of chemistry and witless banter.
Trouble arises for them less so from the worms than from the murderous bandits with a bounty on Flanery's head and the scheming supervisor of the nearby oil refinery who seems to know a little something regarding this lost treasure and is willing to kill over it.
Mongolian Death Worm really isn't even about Mongolian death worms. The treasure hunt and oil refinery trouble take center stage over the worms until the closing minutes. Prior to that the worms appear at random intervals to randomly kill random people and then either slither away or get blown up. The low budgets of these Syfy movies never fail to hinder the amount of monster action, and I suspect there may have been even less this go-around since casting Sean Patrick Flanery probably came with a little heftier price tag than that paid to the "Stargate" TV actors typically headlining Syfy films.
Once you've seen the worms in action one time, you've seen all they have to offer. They're very slow moving, can be killed with a single gunshot, and without their grabby mouth tongue to reel victims in, they would easily rank amongst the most feeble movie monsters in recent memory. And since it bears repeating, they're not really Mongolian death worms. For that alone I'm going to deduct an extra half point.
Even if these worms had been accurate to legend, Mongolian Death Worm would still be another instantly forgettable Syfy monster-of-the-week formula feature. I'm sure for some it will pass the time on a rainy day. Hopefully you live in an arid climate.

The part(s) or condition(s) listed below for the symptom Washer won't spin are ordered from most likely to least likely to occur. Check or test each item, starting with the items at the top of the page.
Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.
Tub drive belt
The door latch secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is shut, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch will prevent the washer from operating. If the door latch is defective, the washer will not spin or start. The door latch can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the door latch for damage. If the door latch is damaged, or does not close properly, replace it. To determine if the door latch has failed electrically, use a multimeter to test any switches on the door latch for continuity. If one of the switches does not have continuity when activated, replace the switch.
Drawer latch level
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
Inverter for drive motor
The drive pulley connects to the washer drum and works with the drive belt and motor to rotate the drum. If the drive pulley is worn out, the drive belt might slip off, preventing the washer from spinning. Remove the drive pulley and inspect it. If the drive pulley is defective, replace it.
Drive pulley kit
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy and the tub can stop spinning. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.
Rear outer tub with bearing and seal. *Bearing only available with tub assembly, not available separately.
The drive motor might be defective. However, the drive motor is rarely at fault for this symptom. Before replacing the drive motor, first check all of the more commonly defective washer components. If none of those components are defective, consider replacing the drive motor. To determine if the drive motor is defective, first ensure that the motor is getting power. If the drive motor hums but doesn't run, is noisy, or does not turn freely, replace it.

New Year, New Priorities: Vital projects for Windham County announced
BRATTLEBORO — New year, new priorities.
Projects aimed at economic development for the Windham County region were ranked according to criteria such as impact, employment numbers, wages, quality, readiness to begin and more.
"There is no limit to how many projects a particular group can have," said Jodi Clark, Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation's special projects manager and staff member for the Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategies. "Projects are given a range of points from one to 20."
Elsie Smith, artistic director and instructor at New England Center for Circus Arts, said she was "super excited" to host a news conference Monday morning at their new studio in the Cotton Mill building owned by the BDCC.
Design and construction of a circus school and performing arts facility off Putney Road was ranked number five on a list of 14 vital projects. The center hopes to develop property it owns on Town Crier Drive.
"We have been slowly building and growing," Smith said. "We have over 5,000 students in the entire world."
Students from Puerto Rico, Australia and other countries come to Brattleboro just to participate in their circus programming.
Smith's group moved into the space on Cotton Mill Hill back in 2003 when they were known as Nimble Arts. Four years later, they were renamed NECCA. Expansion started when the group took up more rooms in the Cotton Mill then hosted classes at the Austine School for the Deaf campus.
"Just a week ago, we moved into this studio as well," said Smith.
The top project listed, a green building cluster, was submitted by SeVEDS and BDCC with hopes of performing an analysis on the viability of building products and services for the area.
"One could wonder, 'How could they be number one on their own scoring?'" BDCC Executive Director Adam Grinold said. "We had nothing to do with the scoring."
A committee donated the time and expertise to ranking the projects, Clark said. It was made up of Brattleboro Savings & Loan Vice President and Senior Commercial Loan Officer Bill Crowley, Southern Vermont Deerfield Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Sharon Cunningham, Five Maples Nonprofit Practice Manager Brett Morrison and Jennifer Stromsten, co-founder of the Institute for Nuclear Host Communities.
The regional effort to craft a federally proscribed document known as the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies or CEDS started in 2013 and took into account 27 towns. Assets, challenges and goals were addressed, said BDCC Director of Economic Development Laura Sibilia.
"That plan is good for five years," she said. "We provide yearly updates on progress within the CEDS."
Goals were inspired by the desire to reverse a decline in population and increase well-paying jobs. Improving the size and quality of the workforce and raising household income also were part of it.
"Every project that is submitted is included in the CEDS," said Sibilia, noting several federal programs require a regional economic development plan before funding is approved. "As taxpayers, we all want our dollars going to places where there's been some thought given so we have some sense of what the economy is doing, some sense of where we're going and how we'd like to get there."
Revitalizing Retreat Farm was next on the list with a Southern Vermont marketing plan following behind it. The latter is aimed at creating a sustainable recruitment project with employers and tourism entities.
Before NECCA's project was another BDCC submission, which involves extending electric water and sewer to new industrial regional sites off of Exit 1. Then there were Windham Regional Commission projects looking to analyze the residential real estate market and assess village water and wastewater, with a SeVEDs/BDCC project aimed at improving broadband access following behind.
Ironwood Brand was ninth on the list with its plan for developing a rapid prototyping facility for prefab high-performance building. Next was a health care workforce training initiative between partners such as the Six College Collaborative, Grace Cottage Hospital, Brattleboro Retreat and Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
The following projects, submitted by SeVEDS, seek to create career pathways between area schools and employers, and take a look at current elements of innovation related to the ecosystem and the Southern Vermont Business Accelerator, which will determine whether business plans have a chance at success.
In between those two projects was Wheel Pad, designed by Joseph Cincotta of LineSync, a Wilmington-based architecture and planning firm.
"Wheel Pad is a 200 square foot accessible bedroom and bathroom module that can be temporarily attached to an existing home," a document stated. "Constructed with technology borrowed from the recreational vehicle (RV) industry, Wheel Pad can sit on a property without triggering zoning or building permit issues."
Last on the list was Strolling of the Heifers' development of a farm and food innovation center.
Altogether, 48 projects were submitted. The others are listed alphabetically and can be found at brattleborodevelopment.com.

I'm a bit confused I met a really gorgeous girl, I'm not saying slightly pretty, it's like 10/10 when I comment on how gorgeous she was she though I was joking and when she realized I was being serious she was really impressed. I was wondering was she pretending or there are out there girls with such low self esteem they can't see what other people see
Most Helpful Girl
beauty is in the eye of the beholder so technically you could find someone gorgeous that others don't find to be gorgeous, including the object of your attraction herself
if she's a 10 by conventional standards, there's a chance that she already knows because of other peoples affirmations
although she could have any number of problems like socialization issues growing up that left her unnoticed or at least not well liked or frequently approached by guys, which may lead her to not find herself to be that gorgeous.
others may not find her gorgeous and so won't treat her that way
guys may find her gorgeous but just not approach her so she may doubt how attractive she is
she could have extremely low self esteem, or just low confidence, in which case it doesn't matter how you view her or anyone else
or maybe she just didn't like you and found it amusing that you had the nerve to talk to her (it has happened before)
she could have been pretending, trying to seem humble but inside her head knowing that she is attractive
idk really, youd have to ask her22|00|0
good point

To-Do ListWe're very sorry, but we've temporarily disabled this feature while we fix some bugs. Thank you for your patience.
Shopping ListWe're very sorry, but we've temporarily disabled this feature while we fix some bugs. Thank you for your patience.
Progress Journal
Maggie Murdoch almost done ^^ (Posted 26th February 2011)
I have been pretty busy since my last journal entry as my costume is eighty percent finished. It took about three weeks (working a few hours each evening, days off and Sundays) to completely cover the bodice in fabric. It took a while to pin and then hand sew each piece in place and I took the bodice in as it wasn't as close fitting as when I first started to add the details.
Bum pillows and detailing (Posted 16th January 2011)
The next thing I needed to do was make a 'bum pillow' to give the back of the gown a bustled effect. The gown isn't as highly bustled as a Victorian dress but I wanted to give the costume a bustled feel so I decided to try out a soft pad rather than a metal framework. I started to create the 'bum pillow' by trying out several different shapes with a newspaper pattern. After a couple of attempts with scraps of fabric that were left over from making the skirt I came up with a shape I wanted. I stuffed the pillow with wading which I had torn into little pieces. I decided to use wading as it is stiffer than the stuffing used in making a soft toy and buying it by the metre is cheaper than a bag of stuffing. Once the pillow was stuffed enough for the shape and firmness I wanted the next thing was for me to sew up the opening. I cut a strip of fabric from the same scraps I made the 'bum pillow' and sewed it into a thin, neat lace which I then attached to the opening seam of the pillow so that I could tie the whole thing about my waist. I may once I have added the detail to the skirt and tried the 'bum pillow' on under the completed skirt add another lace if I feel it needs to be held in place better. Or if I do make the bloomers I may be able to add ties to the back of the bloomers and the underside of the 'bum pillow' so I can secure the item in place better. I know in Victorian and other historical gowns the 'bum pillow' quite often rested upon the underskirt which was very often shaped with metalwork but I do not want this for my costume as this is too formal and structured. Now that I had my 'bum pillow' I could finally pinned the hem of the skirt while wearing the bustle pad (I briefly pinned while wearing the skirt and then pinned it more accurately with the skirt and 'bum pillow' on my duct tape dummy) once I had pinned the hem to a length I was happy with then I cut off the excess fabric. I rolled the hem over twice and hand sewed it to neat the raw edges ready to add the detailing to the skirt.
More gown progress (Posted 27th November 2010)
The next part of the process was pretty much trial and error as I need to change the shape of the bodice neck from the one in the pattern to one more like my reference picture, which is a scoop rather than a square neckline. I pinned the bodice to the duct tape dummy and then cut several patterns from newspaper starting with panels at the front and back to raise the height of the neckline and then pieces to alter the neckline and better shape the tops of the sleeves. Once I was happy with the paper patterns I then cut them out in fabric, pinned them to the bodice and tacked them. Then I adjusted the fit of the garment by wearing it to check sizing and neckline and finally hand sewed the pieces to the bodice. As I was raising the height of the back of the bodice to match the neckline at the front I had to add more Velcro to ensure that the back fastened all the way up to the neckline. Once all the extra pieces were sown to the bodice I neatened up the hems on the inside by hand sewing small rolled hems to tidy up the raw edges and strengthen the seams. The last thing I did was to hem the top and bottom of the bodice ready for the next stage which will be adding the first row of detailing and the fabric to the neckline.
The Bodice (Posted 11th November 2010)
In the initial stages of making the bodice part of the gown I followed the pattern. First I tacked the front centre panel to the two front side pieces. I machine stitched the panels together and then hand sewed tiny roll hems to neaten the raw edges and strengthen the seams. I repeated the process by joining the two sets of back panels together and then finally I joined the two back panels to the front piece.
Start of gown (Posted 8th November 2010)
As this costume is taken from an illustration in a manga, unfortunately there are no colour references. So I decided to treat this costume almost as if it was an original design. I have always pictured Maggie Murdoch as being dressed in shades of brown and green as if she is a part of the forest that she dwells in. My main inspiration for the shading and textures of this costume will be the forest, trees, underground and such like.
Maggie Murdoch (Posted 12th October 2010)
I love the Bizenghast manga, there are so many strange and interesting characters all with beautiful costumes that I knew it wouldn't be long before I cosplayed someone from it.
