Drugs, orgies and sex with teachers: The racy tell-all Twitter feed run by suburban Portland high school students
- The feed brags about sex among students, teachers and parents in a suburb of Portland, Oregon
- Details of retribution from teachers for spurned sexual advances, rampant in-school drug use fill the feed
- There are several admissions of prostitution, cheating and group sex
- The posts are anonymous and tagged only with the schools the students attend
A salacious Twitter feed where Northwest high school students confess to lewd behavior is raising more than a few eyebrows, but the students behind it say parents are missing the point.
@ClarkFession is filled with tales of taking drugs and having sex at school and for money, illicit contact with teachers, large groups and even ranks Clark County (WA) schools on how debaucherous they are.
Students say it's just harmless fun, but parents and school officials unable to stem the sex tide are concerned they don't understand the implications of sharing their private lives online.
Submissions to the feed's admin are made through various channels including other social media sites, everything remains anonymous.
One of many: Skyview High School, in Vancouver, Washington, is one of more than a dozen schools named in Clark County - it is just across the Comubia River from Portland, Oregon
Group sex: Students post often of their group sex exploits - including losing their virginity in an orgy
Sex with teachers: Tales of lewd behavior weren't just limited to students
'It's like the news of the school right now,' a high school senior told KGW. 'Teenagers use it as a way to give out their dirty little secrets.'
Graphic tweets tell of group sex, provide details of bad sexual experiences and even tell of sex with teachers.
'All the parties in this town turn into orgies, that's why everyone has f****d everyone.'
The shocking account seems almost too far out there to be true, and perhaps some of the tweets are, but recent reports of lewd contact make the following tweets seem increasingly likely.
'I've kissed one of our high school teachers,' a La Center student wrote.
'Tried to get with my teacher again and she said no more [because] Clarkfessions is making admin investigate that kind of stuff. Pissed,' wrote another student.
'Everyone just assumes [I'm] a virgin. But [I'm] probably one of the dirtiest girls at my school,' another boasted.
Retribution: This student accuses a middle school teacher of reacting to spurned sexual advances
The cheater: This student cheats 'on everything'
The undercover: This girl brags about having a good reputation despite her supposed promiscuosity
Promiscuity isn't limited just to students.
'My mom f****d my History teacher, just for me to get a passing grade, a Skyview student wrote.
Another parent is apparently dating a teacher after a similar incident, according to a separate tweet.
'Been having sex with my friends (sic) mom for a year now,' wrote a Prairie student.
A Pacific Middle School student accused a teacher of retributions for denying sexual advances.
'My teacher failed me because I refused to have sex with him.'
Other students confessed to having sex in bathrooms, classrooms, locker rooms, sports fields and baseball dugouts.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: Some students told of their parents having sex with teachers for better grades
The same teacher: More than one parent supposedly slept with a teacher at one school
The first time: This student brags about losing their virginity while having group sex
Some admitted to sleeping with several members of the football of soccer team, others to sleeping with multiple brothers in one night.
Several admitted to routinely having group sex, and more than one admitted to losing their virginity with people whose names they can't remember or while engaging in sex acts with multiple or several people.
One girl even bragged about a raging drug habit she carries on seemingly under the noses of school officials.
'I snort coke in the girl's bathroom pretty much everyday (sic).'
The account also rates schools in a top 10 list based on how 'ratchet' they are - which means how promiscuous girls at each school are.
Those very same officials admitted to KING 5 they are powerless to stop the posts and can only monitor them for signs of bullying.
An Evergreen School District spokesperson told Fox 12 that students do not have access to Twitter from the school's network, and many other districts echoed those remarks in multiple reports.
Drug use: This girl flaunts her alleged coke habit in the faces of school administrators
More group sex: Many student brag about sex with several partners
Sex with forbidden partners: Others bragged about having sex with people vastly older or younger than them
The most heartbreaking of all the tweets are the ones where young girls admit to prostituting themselves.
'I use sex so guys will buy me things. I've gotten Dutch Bros, alcohol, food, and a t-shirt in return for putting out,' a Hudson's Bay student tweeted.
'Dutch Bros' is a chain of West Coast coffee shops.
'Bopped 3 guys in the junior lot in the same day for 15 dollars each,' another student admitted.
'Bopped' is slang for giving oral sex.
A Columbia River student wrote they 'f****d a 64-year-old for $150 and a new outfit.'
Many male students admitted to sex or sex acts with other males, but insisted they weren't gay.
One told of how they contracted an STD after performing oral sex on a camping trip and lied to their mother saying it was a cut lip.
Reckless: This girl supposedly has sex with guys so they buy her things - including cigars to smoke marijuana and liquor
Prostitution too: Multiple girls admitted to exchanging sex for money
More sex for money: This student admits to taking money in exchange for oral sex
Most students seem unconcerned with the Twitter feed because it is anonymous, and even questioned its authenticity.
'"If it was more of people adding names [it would be a] bigger deal like past websites we've had,' a Hudson High School junior told Fox 12. 'Now that people post things that are anonymous, you can't even tell if they are true or not.'
'I'm sure some of them are true,' a Hudson High School junior added. 'But maybe people make things up to get retweets and favorites, people will do anything to do that.'
Experts are worried by the students' lack of concern over the seemingly degrading posts.
Behind her back: This guy admits having sex with 'multiple boys' while in a relationship with a girl but insists he is 'not gay'
No limits: Students brag about sex with teachers, parents and friends of friends
That time an STD happened: One student contracted herpes after a camping trip
'They are thinking about what's happening now, they aren't thinking of the implications.' Debbie Tschirgi, director of the Digital Learning Services program at a Portland-area school told KGW.
'It's all about them being anonymous. Teenagers can write whatever they want to write without being identified especially in a situation like this on the Twitter account where they can say something and don't have their name published.
'That's not uncommon,' she continued. 'That makes them all the more brave.'
The feed's founder remain undeterred and have posted links to media coverage of their handiwork.
They also vigorously defend it, saying parents need to worry more about what their individual children are doing than what a Twitter feed says.
A request for comment from the feed's founders and from a Twitter spokesperson was not immediately returned.

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA) is a linear polysaccharide formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and glucuronic acid. It has a high molecular mass, usually in the order of millions of Daltons, and interesting viscoelastic properties influenced by its polymeric and polyelectrolyte characteristics. HA is present in almost all biological fluids and tissues. In clinical medicine, it is used as a diagnostic marker for many diseases including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and liver pathologies, as well as for supplementation of impaired synovial fluid in arthritic patients by means of intra-articular injections. It is also used in certain ophthalmological and otological surgeries and cosmetic regeneration and reconstruction of soft tissue. Herein we present an overview of the occurrence and physiological properties of HA, as well as of the recent advances in production biotechnology and preparation of the HA-based materials for medical application.

Just returned from a 2D1N at this hotel, which "designated" itself a 4 stars joint. But on the overall impression after the stay is that it's a hotel that's pass it's prime.
Sure, all hotels have good and bad points that influence one's enjoyment of the place. The following is my honest objective in easy point forms:
1) Reasonably spacious room
2) Basic and cozy with free WIFI...but somewhat slow upload. Do it at the ground floor level for better connection.
3) Polite and efficient staff - I asked on 3 occasion for extra towels, pillows, shampoo/bath foam..the housekeeping answered promptly and delivered within their promised 5min. 2 thumbs up !
4) Location: Golden Prawn Restaurants within steps (it's the same owner with the hotel, I believe, part of the ambitious Golden City project)
5) Amenities -fair swimming pool, kids play room, karaoke, massage, etc.
6) Sport facilities within minute transport with hotel bus : Flying fox, tag paintball, Go Kart, etc.
This was what got us to stay with the hotel. But there is no connection or special guest privilege,...you pay for what you do. Like an a la carte menu.
7) Reasonably good breakfast spread (in view of the hotel rates)
8) Felt safe and peaceful environment (but if you stay during business family day, convention,...it's another story. That's life)
9) Ready taxi service to town centre (Nagoya Hill Mall, about 20min, each way) with fixed taxi fares (no cheating)
10) Reasonable Hotel room rate
1) The SMELL ! there's a strange odour in the room that never seems to go away...sort of like a moldy, musky stench,...after aircon were switched on...it's dissipated slightly, but never go away. Perhaps we got used to it already...but those newly arrived will be "hit" by the smell.
Even the towels smelt weird...awful !
2) Moldy ceiling...it's ok for 1 night stay...just can't help feeling it's moldy...compounding the old feeling.
3) The bath tub material is the somewhat thin surface type, be gentle.
4) We switched from a deluxe to superior room, as our kids wanted the pool view (deluxe faces the sea in the distance, but not much of a view) ...and "lost" the use of a in-room safe. This is BAD !!!
So that you see, the hotel has more positives than negatives...it's a reasonably hotel...just tolerate that smell...

- 215 Rooms (Superior, Deluxe, Family Room, Suite Room) have been ready to suits your needs and various facilities: Cuppa restaurant, Rajawali terrace cafe, Murai lobby bar, Pipit kids corner, traditional massage, massage centre, full fitness centre, gym, sauna & steam, swimming pool, jogging track, laundry and valet services, 24 hour room service, booking for golfing, business centre, shopping arcade, free shuttle bus to the downtown, karaoke room.

Lez Be Oursleves
DEAR EXENE: I'm a 21-year-old female who has been struggling with my sexuality, and I was hoping you could help me straighten something out. I recently met another female friend at school with whom I've become physical. I've dated guys in the past, but for some reason, I'm just totally drawn to her. We've been having sex for the past two weeks, and I've never felt this way before. Not to be graphic or anything, but she really makes me feel good. I feel like I'm starting to become emotionally invested in her, too. I'm really confused. I've tried talking to the girl, who came out to me the first night we hung out outside of class. When I've tried to analyze my feelings with her, I get the sense she's definitely got an interest in making me believe I've always been into women, but I just didn't know it. I'm not really sure if this is just because I'm physically attracted to her and I like her, or if I'm in an experimental phase. Have you ever had a similar situation with another woman? Do you think I might be gay? Maybe bi?
Love, Danielle
DEAR DANIELLE: Okay, I think you might be . . .
A beautiful, open-minded, 21-year-old-woman with a fearless nature. You've discovered a new aspect of yourself, and it's great you have someone with whom to explore that. However, her telling you that you've always been into women seems as though she's pressuring you a little. Maybe she is anxious you might think your feelings for her aren't solid, and this might be a passing feeling. And what if it is? Your head needs to stop analyzing so much. See where your heart takes you. The LGBT community is strong and supportive. If you find kinship there, lucky you. Have a lovely, magical, ridiculously happy, long, wonderful life.
Love, Exene

The Final Stretch
Well we are getting near the end. So we need to sharpen our skills. I have been asking you to open your mind to new possibilities. To begin with, I need you to read this article and take some notes. Where do you agree? Where do you disagree? Tell me.
Once you have done that go here and find out what you need to make awesome presentations. pay attention, there are some tactical tips as well. Then, tell me which slide & tactical tips you find most challenging and why. Remember that the idea is for you to take a chance on creativity.
Here are some more ideas to enhance your presentations.
As you know, your assignment was to go to the MAC (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo) and take extensive notes on your impressions, and how you feel about what you saw. We do not need a list of what they are showing there, or the history of the museum. We need you to open, both, your heart and mind. Your presentation will be precisely about that. I will need to see your notes. Remember that you can NOT type your notes into your phone so as not to get distracted. Again, this presentation is a VERY PERSONAL deal.Don't be afraid! Don't cheat yourself out of this experience. Avoid short cuts.
From the Journals of Keith Haring.
"I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it." -Keith Haring

One of a kind museums
"Arte es la actividad mediante la cual puede reconstruirse el mundo, cuando el mundo ha desaparecido."
-César Aira, Fragmentos de un diario en Los Alpes.
There are some museums that are far from being average; they are truly one-of-a-kind. These places can either represent a community, or cater to special interests..
For example, we have the MOBA. Read and find out about its origins and philosophy; then, look at their collection.
Why do you think we need places that are so unique?
With the idea of the Techno Museum coming to Frankfurt, your assignment is an easy one today. Go on line, and find a one-of-a-kind museum that you would like us to know about.
- You will give your presentations in pairs.
- ONE more time I am asking you to be as unconventional as possible.
- Ask yourself how you can incorporate the subject matter of the museum into the dynamic of your presentation.
- Presentations are to be mailed in before 6P.M. on Sunday.
Success is yours.

Why should people go to museums?
As you get ready to present your projects, it is important that you get more experience in the world of museums. These are some links to some museums which I love. Also some explanations on how culture is accessed and used in Mexico. Visit every link, take a tour, watch videos, look at pictures, read the posts... and do some serious research.

As you take tours of the museum sites:
Projects will be presented on September 21, under these rules:
- Take notes.
- Come to your own conclusions.

- The objective of the presentations is not to describe museums.
Projects will be presented on September 21, under these rules:
- You may present with any means you want.

PowerPoint and putting people to sleep.
When was the last time you saw or did an interesting or exciting presentation? Was it creative? Are you creative? You are about to do your first real presentation in class.
There is a certain level of expectations, after all, you are in Level 5. However there are a few things that you have to take into account:
You will go online and investigate an art movement, particularly in the plastic arts (painting to be more specific). Ask your classmates so topics are not repeated.
You will do this presentation in PowerPoint. There are so many PowerPoint presentations that are just absolutely boring.
- So don't be boring. Here is a fun video that you can watch to get an idea of what to avoid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbSPPFYxx3o
- Speaking in public can be a little scary... or very scary. Here are some tips on how to do it better; http://www.toastmasters.org/Resources/Public-Speaking-Tips
- The other thing is that you have to be as creative as possible. Don't be an immitation of everything you dislike, just because that is so much easier. On http://fundersandfounders.com/how-to-be-creative-31-ways/ , we read:
"Creativity isn't hard. You shouldn't be out there, wondering how to find it. You should be focusing your effort into finding what makes you feel inspired.I'll give you one great reason why you should at least try to be creative:Life is boring without creativity. It becomes stale and predictable.You don't want to become stale and predictable do you?I'm only talking to you like this, because you need a wake up call. Your creativity is not something you can unlock through a blog (ironically, even though that's just what this blog is intended to do).It's something inside of you.Creativity is a realization, more than something we practice.I'm not saying you'll be able to paint like Rembrandt, because that is art. Art isn't directly equivalent to creativity."
- I expect you to follow all these links in order, read all texts completely:So go to http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Creative read it
then to http://psychology.about.com/od/cognitivepsychology/tp/how-to-boost-creativity.htm and take the following points into account.
a. PlayFeeling the need for speed, Ben Franklin, as a boy, crafted one of the earliest sets of swim fins. Architect Frank Gehry, who designed the gravity-defying Walt Disney Concert Hall, in Los Angeles, has been known to construct model buildings out of crumpled paper instead of using a computer.
b. Borrow IdeasWilliam Shakespeare famously filched plot points for many of his plays, including King Lear. (As French author François-René de Chateaubriand wrote, "The original writer is not he who refrains from imitating others, but he who can be imitated by none.") Steve Jobs copied the idea of the personal computer from a Xerox prototype and ran with it.
c. Sleep on ItSalvador Dalí once said, "All of my best ideas come through my dreams." Sigmund Freud's fascination with his own dreams led to a new avenue for exploring psychology.
d. Collect Every Seed of an IdeaMartha Graham, grande dame of modern dance, kept copious notebooks scribbled with quotations from Plato and Virgil, alongside choreography notes. Woody Allen stuffs scraps of paper with script ideas ("Man inherits all the magic tricks of a great magician") in a bedside drawer.
e. Embrace ConstraintsIn 1907 asthma-suffering janitor James Murray Spangler was in search of a dust-free vacuum cleaner, so he concocted a machine from a box fan, a soapbox, a pillowcase, and a broom handle. Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, was challenged by his publisher to write a book using only 50 words. Green Eggs and Ham was the result.
f. Commune With NatureLudwig van Beethoven heard symphonic melodies in the sounds of the countryside. In 1941 Swiss engineer George de Mestral invented Velcro after observing the burrs that stuck to his clothing and his dog's fur during a walk in the woods.
g. CompeteThe Beach Boys and the Beatles had a rivalry that led to each band's greatest albums. Inspired by the Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian Wilson created Pet Sounds, which Paul McCartney tried to outdo with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.—Yolanda Wikiel
- At the end you will leave a comment (with your name) in the blog describing what your topic will be and saying why it is creative and different, and how all of this information will improve your experience.
Rules for presentations:
- Presentations will be given on Monday the 31st. So you have enough time to prepare well. You have to email it to me NO later than August 30th at 10 PM, to firstname.lastname@example.com
- You can NOT read you presentation. You MUST show me your notes on Wednesday so I can approve them. No notes = NO presentation.
- Presentations will be NO shorter than 2 (two) minutes and NO longer than 3 (three) minutes. Time yourself. Practice.
- Presentations will be graded according to this criteria. So you MUST download this document, in order for you to know and understand what you will be graded on. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8LMPs_KWSqMaGNISFdYeTE2bjA/edit?usp=sharing
- If you have questions, talk to me.

Mario Gomez's agent has hinted of a move away from Bayern Munich after the Germany striker has spent a frustrating season warming the bench at the Champions League semi-finalists.
Gomez, 27, scored his eighth league goal of the season on a rare start as Bayern ran riot in Saturday's 4-0 Bundesliga win at home to Nuremberg as Munich coach Jupp Heynckes rested a host of his stars.
It was only the third time this season that Gomez has played the full 90 minutes in the league and he has come off the bench for nine of his 16 league appearances as Bayern were crowned German champions for the 23rd time last weekend.
"Of course, Mario is not happy about the situation and it is clear that this cannot go on indefinitely," Gomez's agent Uli Ferber told German daily Bild
"Mario is doing everything right, he's loyal and always ready to play."
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the club needed to talk to the Gomez.
"I don't know what he has planned, so I can't assess the situation because I have spoken to neither him nor his agent," said Rummenigge.
Croatia forward Mario Mandzukic has been coach Jupp Heynckes' first-choice striker this term since joining from Wolfsburg, while Peru striker Claudio Pizarro netted four goals in the 9-2 rout of Hamburg at the end of March.
Both Mandzukic and Pizarro scored in Bayern's 2-0 win at Juventus on Wednesday as Bayern booked their place in the last four of the Champions League, where they face Barcelona, while Gomez spent the evening on Bayern's bench.
Bayern paid Stuttgart 30 million euros for Gomez in 2009 and his market value is around 35 million euros ($US45.89m) having scored 71 goals in 109 Bundesliga appearances for Munich.
Gomez is still clearly part of Joachim Loew's plans for the Germany team, with the World Cup in Brazil just over a year away, but the striker needs first-team football to stay in the national coach's plans.
"The desire (from other clubs) to sign Mario is there and always has been," said Ferber.
"During his time at VfB Stuttgart, his contract extension at Bayern and, of course, now.
"At the moment, it's not about individual stories, but all about FC Bayern and Mario wants to contribute to their great season."

I think the team of WP is doing quite an elaborate updates.
But if you ask the users of WP like me, who is running around 10 websites on paid servers with WP, then I will say that the users of WP like to have a thorough offline environment just like Windows live writer.
If you recall the creation of website and publishing it on the server using MS Front page, you will understand what I mean.
Every piece of information of my website is also available on my PC also, when using FP.
I may be rather ignorant about the development about WP, but DOES WP AT ALL HAVE SUCH FACILITY, ALREADY FOR THE USERS LIKE ME....?
Please reply anybody....!

In 1994, a stone panel fell off the west entrance of Potter County's District Courts Building and narrowly missed a woman heading inside.
The travertine slab was one of a few that came loose at the time. Some low-lying panels on the northeast side of the building at 500 S. Fillmore St. also toppled, but no one was injured, said Mike Head, Potter County's facilities director.
"I noticed this back in the early 1990s," Head said one recent afternoon as he pointed to the uneven surface on the building's facade and gaps between panels. "We need to know why that's like that."
The 26-year-old courts building has seen a bevy of problems over the past two decades: poor drainage, water leaks, sunken walkways and unexplained window cracks. During the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, Potter spent nearly $550,000 to upgrade the building's elevators.
The building, built to house more county offices and give district courts a new home, cost $8.6 million when it was built in 1985, according to county records.
But by 1991, the building already had racked up an estimated $2.4 million worth of problems to fix, Head said.
Potter commissioners earlier this fall voted to pay Architexas up to $219,000 to study the longtime structural issues. The Austin-based firm, expected to release its findings some time this winter, will identify the source of the problems and list projects to correct them.
Architexas' study will provide estimated project costs, Head said. Any work to fix the building's problems now would cost far more than it did in 1991, he said.
"As far as the futuristic plans for Potter, it's probably top of the priority list," Commissioner Joe Kirkwood said. "We have a serious issue that's faced us for a number of years ... and that building has been on the back burner for 15 years."
Head tried to address the building's problems in 1991 when he placed it on a list of major projects the county needed to follow.
"District courts was at the top of the list, but then it went to the bottom of that list," Head said, adding commissioners instead decided to pursue work on the historic county courthouse across the street and the Santa Fe Building at 900 S. Polk St.
The Santa Fe and historic courthouse were built in the 1930s.
"I made recommendations," Head said, "but we had a building that was only 6 years old. It's not supposed to have problems."
In response to the 1994 incident, the county removed all the panels above the west entrance door, Head said, but none have fallen since.
"Through the years, a lot of the stone and stone panels have buckled," Head said.
District Attorney Randall Sims pointed to the brown stains smeared across his office's ceiling to show some of his workplace's ills. He recalled one 2006 incident when a drainage pipe caved under heavy rain and flooded the building's upper floors.
The burst pipe incident required new furniture, carpet, vinyl, floor tile and plasterboard, Head said.
"It needs a lot of work done on it. I keep waiting for one of those outside tiles to fall," Sims said. "It's going to hurt somebody."
Despite the longtime structural problems, the building had no issues when it opened, said Elisha Demerson, who served on the Commissioners Court throughout the 1980s.
"In the early years, it was a building we were proud of, one the county was proud of," he said. "It was a good fit for the county. The layout, concept, were very cutting edge. The building itself was structurally sound. At the time, everything was great."
Wiley Hicks III, the son of Wiley Hicks Jr., the courts building's general contractor, said he doesn't recall his firm ever receiving complaints from Potter County about serious structural problems.
"It was a good job," said Hicks, now vice president of Wiley Hicks Jr. Inc. "We built what the engineers and architects drew."
Bill Thomas, who served as commissioner from 2000 to 2004, said many factors can contribute to building deterioration.
Thomas, owner of Thomas and Israel Engineers, said he attempted to get the county to correct drainage problems on the north, south and west sides of the building during his time in office. For example, the grass and vegetation near the south side prevent the water from draining at a normal pace, he said.
"What we were trying to correct was a drainage problem that caused water to leak into the building," Thomas said.
Thomas said he studied the drainage problem but never got to finish the work because he lost his re-election bid in 2004.
Thomas said he's unsure of the causes, but said the building is rife with drainage problems that may not have always existed. Improper drainage is probably the catalyst of the building's other problems, he said.
"Once grass grows, water doesn't move at the same rate," Thomas said. "It may take five or 10 years for that to become a problem."
Moisture from heavy rainfall through the years also can get behind the travertine slabs and gradually break down the material holding each panel to the building, he said.
"Any time you don't have positive draining, you could have problems with the movement of the building," Thomas said.
Thomas said he noticed during his study that the west side wall showed some bulging.
He said, however, it is not uncommon for large commercial buildings to have structural problems within the first few years of their lives.
"Some buildings are built, and they seem to have problems from day one," Thomas said, adding that courts or other government buildings usually get more attention because they are funded with public money.

It's a useful reminder that interconnected devices (Internet of Things stuff) are often lacking basic security or have only basic security, and they are often not updatable either. So they may be infected by security attacks that then get walked into an otherwise protected work environment and spring loose behind the firewalls.
Thus the suggestion of a Bring Your Own Fitbit policy. It's not just the phones any more.

text: Posted June 15, 2013 Fair question, Jarhead. I would like to add that we have upgraded several ways: healing, experience, and adding talent/competition. That is the understanding that makes Gettlemen smart. The oline healed (Kalil) and gained very valuable experience (Silatolu). The QB gained experience and some simplicity. The WRs are using competition and experience to improve; look what it has done for Edwards so far. The offense will be much better in 2013---top 12. And we improved most on defense. DL--3 new faces at DT and we re-signed the fourth. All better than Fua, Kearse, Neblett, and Ron Edwards. LB--3 first round picks starting, solid backups (Chase blackburn, AJ Klein, Senn, etc) With better DTs, these thoroughbreds will eat. DB-competition and new blood have made the secondary the most aggressive battle on the team. Experience added to Thomas, Norman, Campbell, Dockery makes the team better; Florence, Mitchell, and Moore give the team ball-hawks who are experienced. Watch for Captain to bring it in 2013.

A major concern in conservation biology is toavoid inbreeding depression in smallpopulations. Inbreeding has been shown to causeloss of fecundity and reduced survival innatural populations. To predict futureinbreeding levels, given changes in ecologicalconditions, data from large outbred populationsare needed. I use recent population geneticmodels to show how genetic data from such apopulation, combined with ecological data canbe used to predict future changes in levels ofinbreeding. In particular, data from the lion(Panthera leo) is used to simulate theeffect of habitat loss on the future levels ofinbreeding. To do this I used a deterministicpopulation genetics models and anindividual-based stochastic model. Two factorsstand out as particularly important: totalnumber of prides and male dispersal rates. Ifprides are very few (= 10) inbreeding (F)will increase from 0.0 in the initial state to0.26–0.45 after 30 generations, while if thenumber of prides is 100 this level is onlyaround 0.05 assuming no migration into thepopulation. Habitat heterogeneity had onlyminor effects. A reduction in male dispersalfrom their natal territory from 100% to 95%increased the level of inbreedingsubstantially, and never reached below F≈ 0.25 regardless of the number ofprides. Therefore, to sustain a large outbredpopulation of lions, a continuous population ofat least 50 prides, but preferably 100 prides,with no limits to dispersal is required.

Step 7: Water Well
Once the trays are installed, they are watered to settle the soil. Green roof plants like these sedums usually don't require irrigation unless there's a four-week spell of high heat with less than 1 inch of rainfall. During dry spells, the growing medium can shrink, leaving it vulnerable to weeds. Sarah and Scott can irrigate this roof with a self-coiling garden hose threaded into the second-floor-bathroom sink faucet. Then a yearly haircut—and occasional fertilizer as indicated by a soil test—is all that's needed to keep the green roof fit and trim.

GIF is the (old) new animation!
GIF is so 2012! Somehow this old-school-animation-format is back again on the internet universe; boosted by sites like Tumblr and Reddit. Most of the popular GIFs that are spread on internet range from GIFs of celebrities (like the GIF of Tina Fey "trolling" Amy Poehler on the 69th Golden Globe Awards or the GIF of Snoop Dog dancing his "Drop It Like It's Hot" in Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" painting) to the famous internet meme GIF of "Nyan Cat". All those GIFs share one characteristic in common: funny!
It is actually not too difficult to make GIF animations; you can either use Adobe Photoshop or some GIFs creator programs. Nowadays, good news, you can even make GIFs with your smart phones! GifBoom app for example!
GifBoom app offers you an easy way to create GIFs from your smart phones. You can either take photos and directly create animated-GIFs out of it, or convert the funny videos that you took into GIF format. This application also has a community, where you can share your new-made-GIF with others who have the application. Just like Instagram, let's say. I recently tried it and now I am madly in love with making GIFs pictures. Too bad I cannot share them because Facebook does not support GIF format pictures!
GifBoom app
Anyway, you can check out more GIFs on the youtube-to-GIF site, gifsoup, or some other nice (mainly hilarious) GIF pages:

PTC man arrested for Spalding robbery, assault
A Peachtree City man was arrested June 5 on outstanding charges from Spalding County including one count of criminal attempt to commit murder, police said.
Kevin Rossborough, 47, was arrested Sunday after an officer spotted him driving and recalled that he likely had a suspended license, said Peachtree City Police Lt. Mark Brown.
When the car's tag was run, it revealed several outstanding warrants from Spalding County, and Rossborough was placed under arrest, Brown said.
Rossborough also had warrants from Spalding County for criminal attempt to commit robbery, impersonating a police officer and aggravated assault with a firearm, police said.
Rossborough also was cited by the Peachtree City officer for driving with a suspended license, police said.

With the exception of evergreen themes like CITY and Duplo, it's not easy to predict when sets are released. Based on trends of the last 11 years, I've included the last 20 train sets that have been released in a table: At least one train set has been released each year apart from the year 2008. The table marks an average of 1.66 train sets per year. It's ...
Some of it may be your own perception changing, such as a room you remember being big when you were a kid, but which you find small as an adult. So when you perceive bricks as being softer, it could actually be that they aren't, but that your perception changed.

I can't definitively answer, but I can say that this has been a common observation around the late 1990's and early 2000's-- nothing to do with Chinese manufacturing. I personally made the observation when comparing construction in large-scale creations in 1999/2000 and later in 2005. The large scale creation in 1999/2000 was a very large building, ...
Plastic pieces will become harder over time. Not sure why, but I think it is that the substance that were added to make the plastic a little softer evaporates over time. I have been told that the people designing sets for LEGO never use pieces older than 2 years. This is because harder pieces will have more clutch power than softer pieces and because of ...

Lighting is key for any camera, but especially for the sensors in cell phones, tablets, and inexpensive point and shoots. If you place your LEGOs in daylight or under a bright white LED / CFL you may find your iPad will do just fine. Whereas, under normal room lighting the photos become a noisy mess.
For a guy who's 20 you can ignore the age limits. Lego used to label set with "N..99" age limits but these days that sort of humour is less appreciated. It's still true, though. I suggest focus more on what he's interested in, and what you think he'd enjoy building. Within the Lego Star Wars range there are quite a lot of options. If he's mostly into ...
According to the What is BrickCon? page, BrickCon claims to be the "longest running fan-based LEGO® convention". Its first edition took place in 2002.

MIAMI (AP) -- The corruption probe into former Miami-Dade County Commissioner Miriam Alonso has led to grand theft charges against her daughter and son-in-law.
Prosecutors said Alonso's daughter, also named Miriam Alonso, and her husband, Kevin Miles, used money left over from the younger Alonso's failed 1997 Miami commission campaign to buy a home.
The younger Alonso, 42, and Miles, 46, were arrested Friday and later released from the Miami-Dade County jail on $5,000 bond each.
In May, the former commissioner resigned from her County Commission post after an arrest on charges she stole $78,000 in campaign contributions.
Her husband, Leonel, was charged with similar crimes. Both are free and awaiting trial.
The state attorney's office said Alonso's daughter and son-in-law bought a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Miami in 1998 with a $38,900 down payment, money left over from Alonso's 1997 City Commission campaign against Humberto Hernandez.
State law says leftover campaign money must be returned to contributors, donated to charity, given to a political party or turned over to a governmental agency.

Historical Traveler Reviews Lleo Hotel Barcelona
A smart alternative
Great staff. Very friendly. Loved the breakfast. The rooms were basic but the location, just off the Rambla, and close to Passeig de Grace, is simply perfect and more than makes up for that. And for shoppers, El Corte Ingles is close by.
We will go back there when we return to Barcelona.
Stayed at the lleo hotel for 3 nights in april 04 fantastic location just off of La Rambla. Hotel kept to a high standard, rooms clean and tidy and had everything that you needed. Staff friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet offers a wide range of dishes to suit everyone. Would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be using it again upon my next visit.
Great location
This was a brilliant hotel for a short city break - right in the heart of Barcelona, great for seeing the fantastic architecture and even more fantastic shops!!! The bus from the airport drops you in Placa Catalunya, just minutes walk from the hotel. There are loads of places to eat, but don't miss the produce market off la Rambla where you can eat amazing fish cooked in minutes in front of you. Use the Red and Blue tourist bus to get around - buy a day ticket. Don't queue in Pl.
Catalunya; the bus stops before this near the hotel.
A relaxed atmosphere
hotel is located handy to las ramblas,rooms are well kept and clean,staff friendly and helpfull,breakfast will keep you going till nite time and plenty of choice .beds are great youll find out why when you get there!will go back again but try and get a room away from the road at the front as there is some traffic noise,be also aware of pickpockets and keep to well lighted streets.resterant arounr corner from mcdonalds is good called numi.
Great bed!
Location: Very handy for the city centre, Ramblas etc. Noisy at night if you overlook the street. Staff: Friendly, helpful and courteous.
Breakfast bar is excellent with a wide choice. Rooms clean and recently refurbished and fitted with electrically operated variable posture beds - 5 star comfort! Bathroom could do with a makeover. Security: Beware of bogus plain clothed security police in cars looking for "counterfeit money".
Excellent value for money and the hotel is only 2 minutes away from Placa de Catalunya and the top of Las Ramblas. I stayed here for a long weekend at the beginning of August 2003. I was really impressed with the impeccable service and I really appreciated the free 'left-luggage' service on my final day. The breakfast included a vast selection and the whole place is air-conditioned. Next time I visit Barcelona I will definitely be staying here.......... a true fan!!!!
Try elswhere first!
Stayed here in August 2003 - and left quickly! On the plus side, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms are not too bad and the location sis quite good. On the negative side, our room (with a sap bath) smelt...not just a little, but quite strongly. On the following day we were offered a larger room away from the noise of the street (there is no double glazing!), it did not smell...but we then went to breakfast...to an array of empty tables...almost all with dirty remains and bread crumbs. Not so bad if you are in a budget hotel...but for the rate we were on (162E) we thought the hotel tremendously overpriced and lacking in the kind of attention to detail you'd expect. We would strongly recommend agaist this hotel and do not understand why Frommers recommends it. We moved to the Royal at a walk in rate of 120E. Its a four star...not a three star, like the Lleo...but is much better than the Lleo. We would rate the Lleo as a quite poor 3 star hotel.
Great Hotel
Having read other reviews I was confident I had made a good choice with this hotel and I wasn't disappointed. Not only was the standard of accomodation well above average for a 3 star hotel,but it was ideally situated just off Placa de Catalunya to be within easy reach of all the tourist traps. The staff were all friendly and helpful,the twin beds were more like double beds and the room at the rear of the hotel meant the sound of the city was almost completely blocked out.Buffet breakfast is well worth paying extra for as you can find a huge amount of cooked and cold food available and not need to eat again until evening.When you step outside you are only a 2 minute walk from the top of the Ramblas and everything associated with it.When I make another trip to Barcelona, I will definitely consider staying in this hotel again.
Good location
Love the location, next to bank, internet cafe, and la rambla. The room and bath are dated and more like a 2-star hotel. Helpful staff. Safe extra cost.
Hotel Lleo
Excellent hotel. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet is excellent and is served until 12 every day. Located 1 minutes walk from the top of La Rambla. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Thee is a lovely bar on the first floor, where food is also served. Very highly recommended.

Travel Blogs from Barcelona
Our last full day in Barcelona and still so much to see. Antoni Gaudi, home grown architect, has left his mark everywhere in this city. His unique style and the city's acceptance of his work was amazing for the late 1800's. This morning we made a right turn off Las Ramblas trying to get lost in the small streets. We passed through an old monastery …
On this fine Sunday morning we started a stroll down Las Ramblas, a wide pedestrian friendly street through the centre of the old city, along with thousands of others. Diverted left into the Gothic area at one of the many drinking water fountains to arrive at the Cathederal square, a lively market place. Popped into the Cathedral for a quiet look …
We saw the result of everybody else staying up late when we tried to find some breakfast at 9:15 this morning - very little open. But after we did we got to the main train station to catch the fast train to Barcelona. Touching speeds of 300 kph we traveled the 620 km smoothly and comfortably in three hours, even with four stops. Passed through some …
Getting used to land again!
... cases and soon will go for a wander in town. To tell the truth we have been quite tired - it was a real comedown after the cruise so are glad we had this time in Barcelona to wind down before coming home. Tomorrow we fly from here to Milan (fond memories of that place - not!) and from there to Singapore. We have a long stopover there but the airline has put us up in a hotel for the day.

On our way we walked by Casa Batllo, another Gaudi project. When we got back to Sitges, we had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant called Le Patio which is on the street next to ours. We are starting to fit into the culture here and are getting used to eating at 10:00 pm! We decided to head back to our room by ...

Critics eat their words
- From: The Sunday Times
- November 25, 2012
FROM the outset the Margaret River Gourmet Escape had its critics.
A very vocal group of locals said the Barnett Government was kicking money into a gabfest for elitist international chefs to eat and drink their way through a three-day culinary orgy.
And while some locals deliberately ignored the event this week by just going about their business as usual, the event still came away as a definite winner.
It's amazing to see what an international events company can stage with nature as a backdrop for showcasing the regions' produce.
Thanks to the festival, industry leaders such as Rene Redzepi, David Chang and Sat Bains will take stories of the region, its people and its produce back to their own restaurants.
Festival-goers, many of them wealthy overseas visitors, appeared happy to get up close with Aussie chefs Neil Perry, Peter Gilmore and Kylie Kwong.
And, was the much-talked-about Heston Blumenthal dinner worth $500 a head?
To be honest, I would have expected a bit more. But, as someone at our table commented: "It was more about the occasion than the food."
That comment came from a Perth woman whose three daughters had paid $6000 to take her down for the weekend and give her a taste of luxury.
And producers were happy, too, knowing their products were being filmed and talked about by a galaxy of influential chefs who will spread the word.
Brand Events managing director Michael Hodgson summed up the feeling best when asked why he had chosen such a remote location to host the festival. "We were looking for an outstanding location, and you had the outstanding location and were looking for a festival," he said.
It was a marriage made in heaven and let's hope it's a marriage that lasts for some time.
Have your say

To mark 50 years since the Shelby Cobra first debuted in the FIA racing world, Shelby America has unveiled a limited edition model to celebrate reaching the milestone. The Cobra CSX7000 will be limited to just 50 models, with each finished in 'Viking Blue' and decorated with FIA racing stripes.
The model is designed to replicate the 1964 Shelby 289 FIA Cobra, so features widened front and rear bumpers, cut-back doors, new dampers, 15-inch racing wheels and oil cooler scoops. Modern components such as large steel disc brakes and a stronger frame have also been fitted – it is also available with an aluminium shell, traditional it was made from fibreglass.
While the commemorative racing Cobra is fitted with a complete side exit exhaust system, it doesn't come with an engine. The idea is that customers shoehorn their own engine into the Cobra, which was historically a small-block Ford V8.
The 50th Anniversary CSX7000 Cobra costs from $94,995 (£57,770) with the fibreglass body and $159,995 (£97,300) fitted with the modern aluminium shell. The model debuted at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona last week.

These veggi caps are easy to take any time of day; even on an empty stomach. I have also tried these in the tablet form as the dosage of calcium is higher, but they upset my stomach.
I have tried many Calcium/Magnesium formulas and for digestion & absorbtion...so far, this one is the best.

I usually buy the calcium citrate tablets which has 300mg of calcium per tablet. I ordered this by mistake and am not so happy as it has only half the strength of calcium so I need to take twice as much.

Ordered it for my husband as he regularly suffers from muscle pain in the mornings. He says these help him very much, so I guess if you have similar complaints, you could also try taking them. Besides, this product has many other ingredients and not only calcium and magnesium, which is surely beneficial along with a big package.
