What Happens When You Use Skype for 24 Hours Straight?
01/24/2014 in Play Blog by Shana Pearlman
Students in the tiny Australian suburb of Epsom (population: 1,500) aren't exposed to a whole lot of neighbors. And their homeland of Australia has no adjacent national neighbors. As a result, the theme of "neighbors" was of particular interest during Epsom Primary School teacher Jenny Ashby's recent "Skype Around the World in 24 Hours" (#SAW24) … Read more

Excellent service, clean vehicle, and wonderful staff. I won't rent anywhere else in the future.
There are limitations on space especially due to landscaping. The pickup and drop off area just feels a bit cramped.
Women at the location was pleasant and easy to deal with.Was in and out very quickly.
I have to give this U- Haul dealer 10 stars for everything. What a very pleasant , knowledgeable, and competent person to have to pay for his services render as a U -Haul Representative.
The fine gentleman Mr. Ed Hope, gave new meaning for me to the phrase, " There is light at the end of the tunnel." Not all the " Rabbit Hole " as I experienced from the Alamo in Bunnell, FL. .
Very Happy Customer

There is nothing wrong with the service. The location is a little difficult to find and only ONE block from another U-Haul location. The van was relatively new, however, the seat has little adjustment because of a wall RIGHT behind the seat. I was too close to the gas pedal and I'm only 5'9". Steering was a little vague. Take someone with you to help back up.
Be prompt about letting us know pick up location.
Clean, well maintained vehicle. Excellent rate. Friendly run business. Good value for this compared to other truck rentals I looked at for my needs.
First time I use this location and now it has become my favorite place to rent a truck in the future. Excellent service at an absolutely reasonable price.
The customer service was excellent...everyone was extremely helpful. The van was ready when needed and operated with no problems. This was a great experience!!
I wanted to rent my uhaul at the place next to my house. I was all set to get the truck from the place near my house and set up my pickup location to be there. I had to pick up my uhaul someplace else which was not nice. I went to the wrong place which put me back by almost an hour. And when I went to the store later that day where I had wanted to pick up my truck the guy was confused and sad I didn't get my truck from him as planned. I was also not told I needed a lock for my truck which was also a major pain in the butt.

text: Ahmadinejad: World Redeemed When Israel Eradicated Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 3 Aug 2012 post a comment Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday in a speech to Arab ambassadors that the rectification of the world will come when Israel is annihilated. In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini established "Qods Day" (Jerusalem Day) and this year Ahmadinejad used the event to launch his vicious propaganda; he said that a "horrible Zionist current" had been running the world for "about 400 years." Zionists, he said, were: ...behind the scene of the world's main powers, media, monetary and banking centers … They are the decision makers, to the extent that the presidential election hopefuls [of the USA] must go and kiss the feet of the Zionists to ensure their election victory. Ranting that "liberating Palestine" would solve all the world's problems, he blustered: Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems … Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom. Of course, the Iranian president didn't exactly explain how "liberating Palestine" would fix the world's problems, but then he's not really interested in that; like Hitler, his monomania extends only as far as murdering the Jewish people. His paranoia unchained, Ahmadinejad said that Israel strengthened "the dominance of arrogant powers in the region and across the globe" and that Arab countries such as Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Syria and Turkey, were affected by Israel's "plots." The Holocaust denier has called for the eradication of the Jewish state for years; in 2005 he said Israel should be "wiped off the page of time." One question for the filth-spouting dictator: what has the country of Iran done to make the world a better place since the inception of the Islamist state? Ask any medical expert or science guru what Israel has contributed to their fields and you'll get quite an answer.

Photos: EADS Airbike, the bike that's grown not made
Summary: Say hello to the custom bike that started out as just so much nylon powder...
1 of 4Image
Say hello to the custom bike that started out as just so much nylon powder...
This is Airbike, a bicycle whose space-age looks are the least interesting thing about it...
The Airbike is the work of aerospace and defence company EADS, which used a manufacturing process that involves growing parts from high-strength nylon powder. The technique is called additive-layer manufacturing (ALM) and is similar to 3D printing.
The bike started life as a fine nylon powder, but EADS said carbon-reinforced plastics or fine metal powder such as titanium, stainless steel or aluminium can also be used. The bike's design was honed using computer-aided design and the construction itself involved a powerful laser-sintering process in which successive, thin layers of the nylon powder were added until the solid, fully formed bike emerged.
Photo: EADS
Here's a close-up of the seat. The bike is a custom design, made to measure for one rider - doing away with the need for adjustable parts, said EADS.
While not the most comfortable-looking saddle, it features an auxetic design - meaning it can flex to provide some cushioning, according to the company.

E 321 • Shakespeare: Comedies and Romances
Course Description
An appropriate sub-title for the course might be "Let wonder seem familiar" (Ado, 5.4.70), for Sh's comedies and romances take us on journeys through strange, marvelous, "topsy-turvy" worlds where fools are wise, gods are frequent visitors, language is playful, magic and visions are fairly common, and lovers never seem to have an easy time. The plays do indeed challenge, disturb, and dislocate, ask us to look at things in a different way, questioning conventional assumptions which legitimate patriarchy and sexual stereotyping and disturbing even the stability of words through dialectics which explore alternative possibilities of living and thinking. All of this is not to say that all's well that ends well. Quite often at the end, we wonder about the extent of suffering and the sense of injustice and wonder about unanswered questions. Those are part of the mystery, the wonder. In more specific terms, the plays give us the opportunity to examine divergent views of father-daughter relationships and variations on themes love, loss, dislocation, alienation, jealousy, anxiety, suffering, redemption, forgiveness, and self-discovery, and as well, the opportunity to study belief systems: how the plays engage both the personae and the audience in things monstrous to human reason (WT.5.1.40). To experience all of the above requires close, critical, reading of the play-texts, special attention to the rhetorical uses of language and Shs polyphonic structure, and a strong desire to exchange ideas in class, in conference, and through essays.
Grading Policy
Writing: (Required) Five (5) brief (2-3 pp) "position papers." *One mid-term exam. Final Exam. (Optional) other "position papers." *Revisions* on all papers. Evaluation: *Class participation 20%, Papers 40%, Hour exam 15%, Final exam 25%

I'm not a fan of the pierced dick. I once knew a guy who had outstanding oral skills, but he also had the head of his cock pierced and he liked to dry fuck me (no lube). Hurt like hell. No thanks.
FUGLY and a HALF!!!!
Thanks for the subtle critique. Now, where was I.....oh, yes:
I'm still waiting for the day where I can find a Jacob's Ladder in porn. I can't even find many sexy pictures with them, which is a shame, because I think they're the hottest piercings ever. I love ladders.
I cringe looking at pierced cocks!
Just knowing the pain they went through to get that is a turn off.
The Best of The Best

Hot guy, hot cock, hot piercing!
Like pierced meat....been fucked by a hung dude with a heavy PA....it was good. Also, like givin em head...lickin around it, feeling it in my throat.
I would basically beg this guy to fuck me. What does it feel like to be fucked with a PA?

Here's a nice combination of piercings - hot cock too!
That's really nice. Love the delicate frenulum piercing. I've always preferred rings to circular barbells - they look more elegant on the body.

Jake Virtanen maintains that his rehab from shoulder surgery is progressing just nicely, thank you.
The Vancouver Canucks' first-round draft pick has been skating this week alongside the likes of Portland Winterhawks sniper Nic Petan and the Vancouver Giants' trio of Jackson Houck, Matt Bellerive and Arvin Atwal in workouts run by longtime North Shore Winter Club coach Billy Coupland at Canlan Ice Sports in North Vancouver.
Virtanen, an Abbotsford native who had an operation in late May to correct a torn labrum in his left shoulder, has been skipping contact drills, but he has been shooting the puck, and if Thursday's session is any indication, he's not holding back.
The initial prognosis after the surgery was for the 6-foot-1, 208-pound winger to be sidelined for four-to-six months. On Thursday, he said that he hoped to be playing games for his WHL club, the Calgary Hitmen, by early October, which would obviously be toward the shorter end of that timeline.
"Right now, it feels like normal. It feels like I could hit, but I don't want to do that, just in case," said Virtanen, the sixth overall selection on June 27 who has already inked his three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks.
"It does feel like I'm ready to go. It's gone by fast."
The timing of the surgery was tied to Virtanen's aim at being fully healthy leading up to the Canadian world junior team tryouts in December. He leaves Sunday, along with Petan, for the team's summer development camp in Montreal and Sherbrooke, Que.
Forty-one players, including 25 forwards, have been invited to take part in the weeklong event. Benoit Groulx, who guides the Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL, is the head coach, while his assistants include Victoria Royals bench boss Dave Lowry.
Despite the ailing shoulder, Virtanen did play for the Canadian team at the Under-18 world championships in Finland in April, and he wound up leading the squad in scoring, with six points, including three goals, in seven games. Canada took bronze.
"I won't be able to do contact, but I'll do the skating. And I think the coaching staff will give me 15, 20 minutes before practice to go skate on my own. It should be good," said Virtanen, who turns 18 on Aug. 17.
Virtanen has also been getting some ice time with another Coupland group this week. He's offered to help Coupland with his session of nine- and 10-year-olds that proceeds Virtanen's regular group.
"I know that giving back to the community is important. I know when I was that age, if guys from the Western league or Junior A would come out, it would be a blast," said Virtanen, a 45-goal man in 71 regular season games with Calgary last season.
"I don't want to be a guy who just plays hockey and doesn't help out the community. It's a lot of fun.
"I know the Canucks are very good at helping out the community and giving back. If you didn't do it before, you're going to have to get used to it. But I love doing that. It's special for me."

Donations to CCA Foundation can provide funds for current use or they can be designated for future use through an endowment. They may take the form of:
The simplest donation of cash can be given through an online credit card transaction. If you prefer, a personal check or money order (made payable to CCA Foundation) may be mailed in:
CCA Foundation
16000 CentreTech Parkway, Suite A200
Aurora, CO 80011
Call us with any questions, 303-360-4926
With a deferred donation you make your commitment today, but defer the benefit to CCA in the future. Your deferred donation to CCA can help you achieve your philanthropic goals while reducing or eliminating capital gains, income and estate taxes. We encourage you to consult your financial adviser before entering into any of these relatively complex gift agreements.
Pledges — A pledge is a statement of your intention to make regular donation payments over a specified period of time, typically three to five years. Each annual payment on your pledge may be eligible for an income tax charitable deduction that particular year.
Bequests — Your bequest can support CCA simply by having your attorney insert a few words in your will or trust document. The foundation's estate and gift planning professionals will work personally with you and your adviser to ensure the wording of your bequest accurately expresses your wishes.
Charitable Lead Trusts — A lead trust can be used to transfer assets with a significantly reduced tax liability. It provides immediate income to CCA Foundation for a specified period, after which the remainder is distributed to you or your heirs.
Life-income Donations— Life-income donations provide you and/or your loved ones with an income for life or for a specific number of years. These gifts include charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and deferred-payment charitable gift annuities. Life-income donations may entitle you to an income tax charitable deduction and a reduction or elimination of capital gains tax.
Retirement and Life Insurance Plans — Making the CCA Foundation a primary or contingent beneficiary of a retirement plan increases your philanthropic impact because income and estate taxes are not imposed on plan assets distributed to CCA. You may also name the foundation as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or of a bank instrument, such as a pay-on-death certificate of deposit.
To learn more about deferred giving to the CCA Foundation, contact the Your inquiry is confidential and infers no obligation to complete a gift.
Because deferred gift agreements can be complex, we encourage you to consult your financial adviser.
APPRECIATED SECURITIES - If you own securities that you've held more than one year, transferring the to CCA Foundation may provide you with savings on capital gains and incomes taxes.
REAL ESTATE - Donating a personal residence, second home, income property or vacant or undeveloped land may result in a two-fold tax beneift: an avoidance of paying capital gains tax on the long-term appreciation, and the income tax charitable deduction. It may even be posible to donate a portion of property (an undivided percentage interest) and keep a portion for yourself.
TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY - Rare books, works of art, unique collections and other items of value may become donations to CCA Foundation and provide tax benefits for you.
INTANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY - Copyrights, patents and mineral rights can generate sustainable income for CCA's programs and/or projects.
The CCA Foundation is the official recipient for all gifts to CCA. Checks should be made payable to the CCA Foundation, or you can make a donation online. Property should be transferred to the CCA Foundation, and property should be sold in the name of the CCA Foundation. If you need the CCA Foundation's tax ID number, please contact the Foundation Office.

Dubbed as this year's biggest and most-anticipated rom-com date movie, OF ALL THE THINGS, starring Aga Muhlach and Regine Velasquez, opens in theaters starting September 26 under VIVA films and GMA Films!

While WWE has been proclaiming that the voting process for the Slammy Awards has been completely legitimate, there are many that are skeptical because they feel that AJ Lee would have garnered the most votes for the Diva of the Year award.
To further promote his teased rivalry with Daniel Bryan, Shawn Michaels was presented with the Double Cross of the Year award on Monday Night Raw. A potential match between the two at Wrestlemania is still being discussed.
On Monday Night Raw, Daniel Bryan was presented with the Superstar of the Year award as rumored. It was a widely praised move backstage, and the fact that the event was held in Washington made it that much easier of a decision.
On Monday Night Raw, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were presented with the Diva of the Year award. The crowd was rather indifferent towards the two of them, as they were giving their quick acceptance speech.

There is a Beard of the Year category at the Slammy Awards at Monday Night Raw, and the nominees are Daniel Bryan, the Wyatt Family, Damien Sandow and Zeb Colter.

While his character is said to be from the Sudan, the guy that portrayed Abdullah the Butcher was actually from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
For those of you wondering about the whereabouts of Abdullah the Butcher, the legendary wrestler is still running a business in Atlanta called the Abdullah the Butcher House of Ribs. The restaurant has been going strong for several years now.
For years, one of the most recognizable traits on a wrestler were the scars that were seen on the forehead of Abdullah the Butcher. The origin of that damage was from years and years of blading, in order to maintain his violent character. The trademark appearance is so popular that some Japanese cartoon makers have adopted it as well

I think that this fits in the Concealed Carry Issues forum, but if the mods disagree then they can feel free to move it.
I was at work tonight checkin id's at the door of the bar. My usual standard is pretty much if they don't look over 40 for sure, I card them (yeah, I wind up carding a lot of people who haven't had it happen in a while). Anyways, a gentleman came into the establishment who looked by my guess to be about 29 or 30 (turns out he was 32), so I asked for id, and he said, "I left my drivers liscense in the hotel room, will you take this instead?", and held out his Ohio CHL, which is a state issued ID with a photograph and birth date on it. (In Ohio, if carrying you are supposed to have a second form of ID, but he wasn't carrying, so whatever.)
I told the gentleman that I would accept it, and reminded him that carry in bars in Ohio is illegal, to which he replied that he knew that. I suggested that he might want to find a different form of ID to go flashing around (by now he had a pretty good clue where I stood on the issue), and he said that he had never thought of any adverse effects from using it as an ID.
So, I guess my question after my long winded set-up is this? Has anyone else ever used their Liscense/Permit as a form of ID? Any thoughts about doing this in general? Obviously it isn't the type of thing we want to advertise, which is why we conceal our weapons. The whole situation struck me as rather odd, as I had never considered using my CHL as a form of ID. Any thoughts?

Buddy Bell plays a major role in assembling Robin Ventura's staff
DARYL VAN SCHOuWEN ON THE SOX October 13, 2011 10:58PM
Buddy Bell Joe West
Updated: November 16, 2011 3:47PM
Buddy Bell would've made an ideal bench coach for first-time manager Robin Ventura. The White Sox' director of player development was a manager for nine years in the majors, and Ventura was hired in June to work with him as an adviser, so they have a working knowledge of and respect for each other.
But Bell, who's highly respected by chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, is needed in his role as farm director, and he has had enough travel after an 18-year playing career and the nine years as a manager. So Bell is doing the next-best thing he can for Reinsdorf by being the major voice in assembling Ventura's staff.
The Sox have not announced the last three key staff positions to be filled, but it has been widely reported that Mark Parent will be Ventura's bench coach and Joe McEwing will coach third base. Sox minor-league hitting instructor Jeff Manto appears to be the favorite to replace Greg Walker as hitting coach, although Ventura did say that's "up in the air." A Sox spokesman said an announcement on the hires might not come until after the World Series, which suggests the Sox still might be looking around.
Parent, who managed the Philadelphia Phillies' Class AA team at Reading this past season, will bring an authoritative "old school" presence along with an imposing 6-5, 230-plus-pounds frame. As part of Bell's plan, Parent would bring a tough-cop balance to Ventura's good-cop role.
Bell was Parent's manager when Parent was a catcher on the 1996 Detroit Tigers. Parent, 50, was a backup catcher for 13 years in the big leagues, and despite his lack of coaching experience in the majors, it's believed he'll stand up to players — veterans such as A.J. Pierzynski, Adam Dunn and Alex Rios included — if needed.
"Super Joe" McEwing, the manager at Class AAA Charlotte, brings a needed energetic presence that complements the low-key demeanors of Ventura and first-base coach Harold Baines.
As a utility player for nine seasons in the majors, Mc-Ewing, 38, was a fan favorite because of his hustle. He was so well-liked by Cardinals manager Tony La Russa that La Russa asked for a pair of McEwing's spikes before he was traded to the Mets in 2000.
Ventura has no use for equipment. Asking for advice is another matter.
"I've seen a lot of great managers ask questions of everybody on their staff, and I don't see me being any different,'' Ventura said.

I was born in Osaka, Japan and lived there until I was 26 years old. I taught conversational English to Japanese children aged between 2 and 13 for six years while I lived there. My American husband and I owned an English conversation school in Japan. After moving to the United States, I homeschooled my children and I am almost done raising our third child. I have been teaching conversational Japanese to a couple of adults currently. My teaching methods are not limited to using text books alone. I use flash cards, games and even songs when students are small children. I can also teach Japanese culture, like origami, old Japanese fables, cooking Japanese cuisine, how to wear Kimonos and so on.
I am a native Japanese tutor. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience. When I tutor, I am not limited to just using text books. I use flash cards, fun games, songs and so on.

Fire chief: No gas leak at Redford Union High School
Updated On: Oct 14 2013 02:42:29 PM EDT
Redford Township fire officials say it wasn't a gas leak Monday morning that prompted the evacuation of Redford Union High School.
In a statement, Fire Chief Thomas Graham said a local contractor purged gas lines while in the process of completing repairs on the schools boilers -- which resulted in the odor being smelled around the school.
Students were evacuated as a precaution around 11 a.m.
School official eventually dismissed classes for the day so the school could be aired out.
The school is located at 17711 Kinloch, which is near Six Mile and Beech Daly roads.

My name is He Qiu Hua. I am 16. I live at Jin Mian Village, Long Tong Town, and my family is relatively poor. In my home, we have 6 people (Dad, Mom, Older Brother, me, Uncle, and Grandma). Dad and Mom are both farmers. My Uncle is blind, and he cannot really do much at home. It is a good thing that Grandma can still help my parents with some housework. My brother and I are both in the process of getting our education. My parents, in order to support my brother and I, have slaved away under the burning sun. And our land has very minimal vegetation, not enough water, and the weather is always overly hot. Once a year, we can only have one harvest for our corn. Sometimes, farmers may have no crops at all. We say "our livelihood depends on the weather."
I remember that when I first started school, my older brother's tuition had been paid in paid and my parents were going to pay mine as well. However, my mother fell very sick and our savings had to be spent on her medical treatments. I gave up on my chances to go to school. My uncle convinced everyone otherwise though. My uncle asked my older brother to bring over our neighbors' horses, so he could carry the wood he had chopped onto them. He asked me to go sell them in front of the school. I got 20 yuan, which wasn't even close to enough. But a teacher saw me, and his name is Gang. He said to my family and I, "I know you don't have enough money, but I can l lend you enough money for this semester. We can settle this another time." At that time, even though I was very young, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Everyone in my family thanked him profusely.
After beginning school, my grades were pretty good. In 7th grade, I was the second best student in my class. My parents were so proud. They said that they didn't have money to reward me, but told my older brother that he should be more studious like me. My older brother's grades were not so great, only average.
Ah! My family's situation has since improved marginally. My parents' responsibilities have grown though. My grandma's old age of 80 prevents her from continuing to help us out. My uncle's condition hasn't really improved. My brother and I are now far away from home. My parents have to not only take care of my uncle and grandma, but also have to pay our tuition. I am now in 9th grade, and my brother is in 11th grade. When our living expenses ran dry, we have to use 5 cents to make a call home, and dad has to waste a whole day to travel to us to provide us more money.
Sometimes, I really feel like crying but fear that people will see me.
Now, most urgently, I need to focus on gaining more knowledge in all aspects. My parents' greatest hope is to have my brother and I become more educated than they are. Else, I will never get away from this poor spiral that they are caught in. I hope my dream comes true.
I don't know what I will face this year at school, but I know that there will be many obstacles for me to face. I will not run away or hide from them. My teachers are my supporters, and I believe they will help me get through all of it… I believe…
Mom, Dad, teachers, all the blood and sweat that you poured into me are in hopes --- in hopes of my growth and maturity. Their love, devotion, and kindness, I will not waste.
From the bottom of my heart and soul, I thank you. Please accept my most humble gratitude.
From your peach student![img]/images/user/2875_6516039755328043998.jpg[/img] [img]/images/user/2875_8325162067849903847.jpg[/img]

You never know which Conor Oberst is going to show up. Last spring at the Ogden, it was the recalcitrant hero, tiny and hidden behind his aren't-I-tortured bangs and a keyboard, reluctantly forging the indie electronica from Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, backed by members of the Faint. Then, of course, there's the larger-than-life garrulous guitar-slinger, swigging bottle after bottle and warming up the crowd with lines like "I'd put a fucking gun to my head before I'd live in your state" -- which Fort Worth was treated to earlier this year. But as any Bright Eyes devotee can tell you, it doesn't matter who appears -- the good, the bad or the ugly -- because the music speaks for itself. Sometimes it even has to apologize. Expect the more polite, folk-rocking Nebraska boy from I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning to be at the Boulder Theater this week -- well, at least on Tuesday night for a live e-town recording with Eliza Gilkyson.

David Cameron will pledge a tough crackdown on welfare payments to make Britain a less attractive destination today, but will resist calls to fight the election on a pledge to cap EU immigrants. The prime minister will leave open the option of campaigning for a British exit from Brussels if demands for action to reduce immigration "fall on deaf ears". "If we cannot put our relationship with the EU on a better footing, then of course I rule nothing out," he will say in his long-awaited speech on immigration. The day after damaging figures showed that net migration was above the level inherited from Labour, Mr Cameron is to propose that jobseekers arriving from Europe be denied all out-of-work benefits and face deportation if they are unemployed after six months. He will also say that those with a job should not be entitled to in-work payments or social housing for four years. Child benefit and child tax credit payments to EU workers for dependants not living in Britain will end under reforms that he says he will demand as part of a renegotiation of Britain's membership of the union. Giving Britain what Mr Cameron promises will be Europe's "toughest system" on migrant benefits is likely to need radical changes to EU law, Whitehall officials acknowledge. Senior Tories realise it will be bitterly opposed by some EU leaders, especially those countries in eastern and southern Europe whose citizens make up the bulk of ne
Russia's mounting economic crisis is likely to pose an existential threat to President Putin's leadership within two years, one of the country's most respected economists said yesterday. The economic distress signals are becoming clearer and although western sanctions are not the only cause of Russia's problems, they make escape from the downturn far more difficult. Ordinary Russians, who have overwhelmingly supported Mr Putin's annexation of Crimea in March and his refusal to buckle in the face of sanctions imposed as a result, are feeling a growing impact in their daily lives, and the plummeting price of oil has squeezed government receipts. Inflation is running at more than 8 per cent, but food inflation is even higher, and there has been panic buying of buckwheat, a Russian staple that is served as a side dish or cooked into soups, pancakes or porridg
A boy of 17 has been arrested on suspicion of committing two rapes at Jeremy Clarkson's former 16th century boarding school. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was detained by police on Tuesday. The attacks at Repton School in Derbyshire, are alleged to have taken place in October. He has been released on bail while further investigations are carried out, a police spokesman said. The mixed-sex school for children aged 13 to 18 charges £30,000 per year. Its alumni include the Top Gear presenter Clarkson, the children's author Roald Dahl and the Strictly Come Dancing winner Tom Chambers. Robert Holroyd, the headmaster, said in a statement: "I can confirm that a police investigation is being conducted into an alleged sexual offence at Repton School.
