An orgy of drugs, a rotating turnstile of women and smashed hearts – that’s the hidden world of ‘sensitive’ song writer, James Blunt, according to a 19-year-old girl who got wham bam thankyou mammed by the British MOR star.
Wide-eyed Melbournite Kate Costello says she floated into a drug fuelled world of betrayal and teenage groupie grooming with Blunt, when she met him at a Sydney concert last year – at the tender age of 18.
Blunt, 34, allegedly spun a whole galaxy of bollocks to the pretty young blonde, including promises to help boost her singing career - a simple yet effective trick which has been used by rockers to manipulate the pants of pretty young women since the Cro-Magnon era.
Costello says he also sent dirty text messages to the young girl while he was trying to get bizay in the boudoir.
“I can't wait to have your naked body lying next to mine." He wrote.
Entrusted in the soft, cotton candy world of international jet-setting and empty chin wagging with Warner executives, Costello claimed Blunt ‘sealed the deal’ when his silver lips went into overdrive – talking about production deals and the possibility of getting her to sing on his new album.
As Costello tried to get closer to the star, she said he only met her needs with a steady string of pill popping and powder snorting.
"There were so many drugs. There was this silver platter of drugs, every drug you could think of: cocaine, MDMA, K (ketamine, a tranquiliser used on horses), hash," she told the Herald Sun.
"Everyone was taking drugs. I have never been with him and him be straight. He would go to sleep smashed and wake up and have a few hours before he got smashed again."
But the apex of Blunt’s ‘True colours’ extravaganza was realized when Costello caught him in bed with another woman at a hedonistic Ibiza party – and was then ordered to leave within five minutes.
Costello says her story comes in the spirit of truth – believing that Blunt’s sensitive, soft, rock star persona is completely at odds with her alleged experience with his real, womanizing, drug taking actions.
"I just want people to know exactly what type of person he is," she said.
"I don't think it's right people are going and buying his CDs and they think they can relate to him . . . but really, everything he says in his songs is bullshit.”
A spokeswoman for Blunt said in response to Costello's claims: "James is very disappointed by these false allegations."
Jesse Perez’s final thought: At the end of the day, it’s all about the S, D & R & R for these guys. It looks like Blunt’s got the S & D bit down pat. Pity he really, really sucks at the R & R.

The Real Estate market is falling face first in the US, as one of the most visited countries it is also one of the countries with most vacationists. If you have the money would you invest and buy a condo there?
With real estate values dropping, will you risk your money in investing there even though it is one of the countries which have astonishing vacation spots? It is better if you invest in and check out other vacation spots around the world, like in Panama, where beaches and great views reside.
Panama is located in between Costa Rica and Columbia, by just hearing those countries, what did you think of? The beach? Caribbean? Spectacular environment? You got that right! Included in the top vacation spots in the World.
Since the decline in the real estate market in the US, real estate to different countries boomed. Most likely the countries with better environment to provide, which Panama is very abundant of. Since the real estate market in Panama is rapidly rising, I invite you to check out Hotel Casco Antiguo in Panama. The location is very strategic which will make your stay very soothing and relaxing. Service is great, that you'd probably tip much more the ordinary. And most probably the rooms are furnished and designed very well by top interior designers for the right ambience for you. A stay in Hotel Casco Antiguo is like a stay in paradise.
I'm just getting warmed up, want to know more? Check this shot of the hotel first...

Interested? If I just have the money, which I know you have, I will buy a condo there at once. All is perfect, market is good, the hotel is in good shape, the country is a paradise, and you are going to be there. What are you waiting for? Get a condo now!

Have you ever thought you were too nice? Or you are just the friend of all and not the boy who all wanted? Here's the chance to check if you are one.
1. Too Respectful
In most social situations, good manners and respect for other people will get you pretty far. The woman in your life, in particular, deserves respect; however, while every woman appreciates a gentleman, there are certain arenas in which you can be too respectful. We're talking specifically about the bedroom here.
Being too respectful between the sheets is one of the signs you're too nice. In the bedroom, women appreciate spontaneity, assertiveness and a sense of adventure. Your girlfriend or wife doesn't want you to be delicate or tentative in the bedroom. She wants passion. She wants you to ravage her. She might even want a little dirty talk.
2. Too Interested
If you're unfailingly interested by every little thing your wife or girlfriend does, it's another sign you're too nice. Yes, you want to take an interest in her career, her family and her hobbies, but it's a bad sign if you're more interested in her life than you are in your own. Not only will she eventually get tired of you sticking your nose in her business, but your excessive interest in her will ultimately make you boring.
If you abandon your aspirations, neglect your interests and bail on your friends just so you can concentrate all of your energy on your relationship, chances are your relationship is doomed to fail. By giving up on all the things that make you interesting (and, ultimately, who you are), you're killing the guy she fell for in the first place. That's why becoming too interested in her is one of our signs you're too nice.
3. Too Complimentary
Being too complimentary is another one of our signs you're too nice. Every woman loves to be complimented, but every woman also wants your compliments to be genuine. Once you start telling her how beautiful she is six times a day, the words lose all meaning.
There are times when your wife or girlfriend is going to look like a showstopper. She'll probably get all dolled up when the two of you have dinner plans, for example. However, there are other times when she's going to look like a train-wreck, like when she's hungover or sick. She doesn't want to hear how beautiful her eyes are when they're actually glassy and bloodshot. Give her compliments consistently, but sparingly; that way they'll be more meaningful.
4. Too Understanding
It's unfashionable these days to be too judgmental; tolerance and acceptance are the cardinal virtues of the modern era. That's great, but one can be too understanding and that's another one of the signs you're too nice.
It's a fact of life: Some people suck, and even good people do bad things from time to time. Trying to "understand" another person's point of view as he or she walks all over you isn't tolerant; it's spineless. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. Most importantly, if your partner sees other people walking all over you, she'll walk all over you too -- that is, until she walks out on you.
5. Too Cheerful
The last of our signs you're too nice has to do with your mood. If you're smiling and cheery all the time, you're too nice. Everyone gets pissed off once in a while. More to the point, sometimes anger is a completely justifiable response. Bad behavior in children, for example, calls for a certain degree of anger. When one of your employees is caught slacking off, anger is the necessary response. The same is true when your girlfriend behaves badly. Getting angry or upset at appropriate times isn't a sign of instability; it's a sign you're a man.

Chillax - Don't stress yourself, don't mind it, chill and relax combined.
Sick - Cool, impossible, perfectly done, etc.
Woot - I really can't understand what's this for.
Jologs - Tagalog Slang which means out of fashion, poor, cheap, etc.
Chill - Same as Chillax
GG - To DOTA users which means good game and/or we lost or concede, or a tagalog slang which means any adjective in a positive way (GG yun oh! pertaining to a girl which means hot) or in a negative way (GG sa mukha, pertaining to a girl which means ugly). GG is the one word that can be used for all depending to your meaning.
Bad Trip - Tagalog Slang which means annoying, unbearable, frustrating, etc.

and more...
There are a lot of slang words out there, English slang words and Tagalog slang words. Each has its own use and uniqueness.
However, there are people who get annoyed when slang words are used, are you one of them? I don't mind slang words at all, I even use a lot of them. Perhaps over use and an annoying voice with the slang word will annoy me but besides that all is good.
What are the most annoying slangs you ever heard or the coolest you ever used? Share your thoughts!

Gangs are commonly known as a violent, cruel, and law-breaking brotherhood. Ever joined one? Think your gang is the most feared? Think again...
10. Area Boys
Territory: Lagos, Nigeria
Criminal activities: Drug trafficking, extortion, murder, inciting riots
Number of members: 35,000
Over the past three decades, Nigeria’s Area Boys have gone from young kids committing crimes of opportunity to a massive if still largely unorganized street gang responsible for acts of extortion and murder. Local authorities, who have made a number of failed humanitarian attempts to eliminate the gang, tie the rising level of violence to a depressed economy, high unemployment and the increasing prevalence of drug addiction among the gang’s members.
9. Jamaican Posse
Territory: Jamaica, Eastern United States, UK (known as “Yardies”)
Criminal activities: Drug and gun trafficking, witness intimidation, murder
Number of members: 13,000 to 20,000
Known for their use of extreme violence and preference for high-powered weapons of war, like the MAC-10, the Jamaican Posse has strong affiliations with the two major political parties in Jamaica, the People's National Party (PNP) and the Jamaican Labour Party (JLP), as well as the island’s police force and the military.
Authorities have identified dozens of individual posses within the wider gang. The two most often cited are the Spangler Posse, aligned with the PNP, and the Shower Posse, aligned with the JLP. The Shower Posse reportedly takes its name from the “shower of bullets” it dispenses on its enemies.
8. Wah Ching
Territory: Hong Kong, San Francisco, Los Angeles
Criminal activities: Drug and gun trafficking, extortion, murder, software piracy, burglary, gambling, prostitution, loan sharking
Number of members: 7,000-plus
By some accounts, the origins of Wah Ching go back 300 years, while others date them to the mid-1960s. Whatever the case, their criminal activities are highly diversified, making them extraordinarily good at one thing in particular: making money. The Wah Ching are also violent and sophisticated, as evidenced by two 1995 raids in Los Angeles that uncovered an underground factory run by the Wah Ching featuring $18 million in counterfeit Microsoft products. The raid also found weapons and explosives, namely TNT and C-4.
7. Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC)
Territory: Brazilian prison system
Criminal activities: Drug and gun trafficking, murder, extortion, prison riots, prison breaks, kidnapping
Number of members: 6,000-plus
Formed in 1993, at Sao Paulo’s Taubate prison, PCC is unlike many gangs in that they have a political agenda, namely to fight the oppressive conditions of the overcrowded prisons. Members are required to take an oath and pay monthly fees that vary depending on whether one is in prison or not. Although most members are incarcerated, they are well-organized, operating with a network of loyalists in and out of prison. In 2006, they flexed their considerable muscle by orchestrating synchronized, simultaneous rebellions in 79 state prisons while inciting violence and anarchy in the city of Sao Paulo.
6. Aryan Brotherhood (AB)
Territory: U.S. federal and state prison systems
Criminal activities: Drug trafficking, conspiracy, murder, racketeering, contract killing
Number of members: 15,000-plus
Dating back to 1964, the Aryan Brotherhood has a huge presence in the U.S. federal prison system, particularly in California. They are well-organized, well-connected in and out of prison, and they lack the one card authorities could play against them: fear of punishment. What more can you do to a guy on a life sentence with no parole? Not even the death penalty carries any weight. Consequently, the AB have become extraordinary killers. According to the FBI, members make up about one-tenth of 1% of the entire U.S. prison population, but they’re responsible for 18% of all prison murders.
5. Bloods
Territory: Los Angeles
Criminal activities: Murder, drug trafficking, robbery, extortion, robbery
Number of members: 15,000 to 30,000
In L.A., experts estimate that there are about 75 Bloods gangs (compare that to over 200 Crips gangs). They have traditionally been understood chiefly through their rivalry with the Crips. During the 1980s, for example, one of the bloodiest rivalries in the history of Los Angeles gangs took place between the Bounty Hunters, one of the area’s largest Bloods gangs, and the Grape Street Crips.
Bloods gangs were originally just “anti-Crips” gangs, formed in neighborhoods alarmed by the rapid spread of Crips gangs. By the mid-1970s, they unified under the name “Bloods” (a move that contributes to their reputation as being better organized than the Crips), and the wider rivalry between the two gangs began to take shape.
4. 18th Street Gang
Territory: Los Angeles, Western and Southern U.S., Central America
Criminal activities: Drug and gun trafficking, robbery, extortion, murder, contract killing, prostitution
Number of members: 65,000
With 50,000 members in Central America, tens of thousands in the U.S., and believed by some to be operating in 37 states and 10 foreign countries, the 18th Street Gang is organized, disciplined and sophisticated, and depending on which expert you believe, it is even better organized than its primary rival, MS-13.
Arguably, the 18th Street Gang is the largest gang in Los Angeles County, even though the estimated 15,000 L.A.-area members are spread out into some two dozen individual gangs held together by label only. Furthermore, some experts dispute the perception that gangs like 18th Street Gang have any true connection with the Central American gangs under the same name, like Mara 18.
3. The Mungiki
Territory: Nairobi, Kenya
Criminal activities: Murder, racketeering, extortion, mutilation, intimidation
Number of members: 100,000 to 500,000
In the Gikuyu language spoken in Kenya, the word "mungiki" means “multitude,” a fitting name for this massive ethnic gang that has developed a reputation for severe brutality -- which they often dole out by way of machete -- and whose calling card in the recent past was nothing short of a severed human head on a stick. They operate in Nairobi’s larger slums, such as Mathare, targeting other ethnic groups and exerting tremendous political clout. Despite their enormous size, little is known or fully understood about the Mungiki -- a trait that contributes to the terror they inspire.
2. Crips
Territory: Los Angeles
Criminal activities: Drug trafficking, robbery, murder, extortion, ID theft
Number of members: 50,000
The Crips are among the oldest and most notorious street gangs. Their origins go back to a teenager named Raymond Washington who, the legend says, advocated fists, not guns. From its earliest days, one characteristic of the Crips has remained consistent: an inability to develop a single, centralized power structure.
Like many other street gangs, the Crips are actually a loose confederation of hundreds of localized “sets” across the U.S. In fact, despite their well-known rivalry with the Bloods, a Crip is three times more likely to kill another Crip than he is to kill a Blood. The long, violent rivalry between two Crips gangs, the Eight Tray Gangsters and the Rollin’ 60 Crips, illustrates the point.
1. Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)
Territory: Central America, the United States
Criminal activities: Drugs, guns and human trafficking, murder, contract killing, extortion, kidnapping
Number of members: 70,000
Right now, the street gang getting the most attention around the world is MS-13. The gang is a product of the Cold War, born of refugees from the 1980s Salvadoran Civil War who landed in Los Angeles. For a street gang, MS-13 operates with extreme organizational efficiency. In fact, they carry out investigations as well as hold local and regional meetings. The recent FBI crackdown on the group (which included the FBI’s declaration that MS-13 is America’s “most violent gang”) will likely not scare them -- this is a gang who kidnapped and killed the son of a Honduran president. They have inspired legislation in Honduras and El Salvador that so harshly targets gang members that even human rights organizations are crying foul.

This one is the news about Josef Fritzl being sane, proved by a psychologist. But I want to focus on what happened to the girl. Check it out, her dad is actually a devil. I pity her very much, poor girl.
Fritzl, who has confessed most of the allegations, was neither mentally ill, nor could he have been in a permanent state of inebriation over 24 years, Austrian newspaper Der Standard has reported, quoting unnamed sources close to the court proceedings with knowledge of the psychiatrist's report.
Gerhard Sedlacek, the prosecutor's spokesman at the Sankt Poelten court, said there was a possibility the trial would be delayed until next year for procedural reasons.
Sedlacek did not comment on the psychiatrist's report.
According to media reports, neither Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, nor her children will appear at the trial, which will mostly be conducted in closed session.
Three of the children lived upstairs in the suspect's home, three lived in the cellar and one died shortly after birth.

A 19-year-old Asheville teenager says she legally changed her name to CutoutDissection.com to protest animal dissections in schools.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that Asheville High graduate Jennifer Thornburg now wants to be called Cutout. Her new legal name is the Web address for an anti-dissection page of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' site.
The teenager said she began opposing dissections in middle school, after a class assignment to dissect a chicken wing made her uncomfortable. She helped create a policy at her high school that allows students who object to dissections to complete an alternative assignment. She is now an intern for PETA. She said most of her family members still call her Jennifer.

Starting from 10 to 1... Mind activities that we cannot explain, and very hard to understand.
10. Dreams
If you were to ask 10 people what dreams are made of, you'd probably get 10 different answers. That's because scientists are still unraveling this mystery. One possibility: Dreaming exercises brain by stimulating the trafficking of synapses between brain cells. Another theory is that people dream about tasks and emotions that they didn't take care of during the day, and that the process can help solidify thoughts and memories. In general, scientists agree that dreaming happens during your deepest sleep, called Rapid Eye Movement (REM).
9. Slumber Sleuth
Fruit flies do it. Tigers do it. And humans can't seem to get enough of it. No, not that. We're talking about shut-eye, so crucial we spend more than a quarter of our lives at it. Yet the underlying reasons for sleep remain as puzzling as a rambling dream. One thing scientists do know: Sleep is crucial for survival in mammals. Extended sleeplessness can lead to mood swings, hallucination, and in extreme cases, death. There are two states of sleep - non-rapid eye movement (NREM), during which the brain exhibits low metabolic activity, and rapid eye movement (REM), during which the brain is very active. Some scientists think NREM sleep gives your body a break, and in turn conserves energy, similar to hibernation. REM sleep could help to organize memories. However, this idea isn't proven, and dreams during REM sleep don't always correlate with memories.
8. Phantom Feelings
It's estimated that about 80 percent of amputees experience sensations, including warmth, itching, pressure and pain, coming from the missing limb. People who experience this phenomenon, known as "phantom limb," feel sensations as if the missing limb were part of their bodies. One explanation says that the nerves area where the limb severed create new connections to the spinal cord and continue to send signals to the brain as if the missing limb was still there. Another possibility is that the brain is "hard-wired" to operate as if the body were fully intact - meaning the brain holds a blueprint of the body with all parts attached.
7. Mission Control
Residing in the hypothalamus of the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or biological clock, programs the body to follow a 24-hour rhythm. The most evident effect of circadian rhythm is the sleep-wake cycle, but the biological clock also impacts digestion, body temperature, blood pressure, and hormone production. Researchers have found that light intensity can adjust the clock forward or backward by regulating the hormone melatonin. The latest debate is whether or not melatonin supplements could help prevent jet lag - the drowsy, achy feeling you get when "jetting" across time zones.
6. Memory Lane
Some experiences are hard to forget, like perhaps your first kiss. But how does a person hold onto these personal movies? Using brain-imaging techniques, scientists are unraveling the mechanism responsible for creating and storing memories. They are finding that the hippocampus, within the brain's gray matter, could act as a memory box. But this storage area isn't so discriminatory. It turns out that both true and false memories activate similar brain regions. To pull out the real memory, some researchers ask a subject to recall the memory in context, something that's much more difficult when the event didn't actually occur.
5. Brain Teaser
Laughter is one of the least understood of human behaviors. Scientists have found that during a good laugh three parts of the brain light up: a thinking part that helps you get the joke, a movement area that tells your muscles to move, and an emotional region that elicits the "giddy" feeling. But it remains unknown why one person laughs at your brother's foolish jokes while another chuckles while watching a horror movie. John Morreall, who is a pioneer of humor research at the College of William and Mary, has found that laughter is a playful response to incongruities - stories that disobey conventional expectations. Others in the humor field point to laughter as a way of signaling to another person that this action is meant "in fun." One thing is clear: Laughter makes us feel better.
4. Nature vs Nurture
In the long-running battle of whether our thoughts and personalities are controlled by genes or environment, scientists are building a convincing body of evidence that it could be either or both! The ability to study individual genes points to many human traits that we have little control over, yet in many realms, peer pressure or upbringing has been shown heavily influence who we are and what we do.
3. Mortal Mystery
Living forever is just for Hollywood. But why do humans age? You are born with a robust toolbox full of mechanisms to fight disease and injury, which you might think should arm you against stiff joints and other ailments. But as we age, the body's repair mechanisms get out of shape. In effect, your resilience to physical injury and stress declines. Theories for why people age can be divided into two categories: 1) Like other human characteristics, aging could just be a part of human genetics and is somehow beneficial. 2) In the less optimistic view, aging has no purpose and results from cellular damage that occurs over a person's lifetime. A handful of researchers, however, think science will ultimately delay aging at least long enough to double life spans.
2. Deep Freeze
Living forever may not be a reality. But a pioneering field called cryonics could give some people two lives. Cryonics centers like Alcor Life Extension Foundation, in Arizona, store posthumous bodies in vats filled with liquid nitrogen at bone-chilling temperatures of minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit (78 Kelvin). The idea is that a person who dies from a presently incurable disease could be thawed and revived in the future when a cure has been found. The body of the late baseball legend Ted Williams is stored in one of Alcor's freezers. Like the other human popsicles, Williams is positioned head down. That way, if there were ever a leak in the tank, the brain would stay submerged in the cold liquid. Not one of the cryopreserved bodies has been revived, because that technology doesn't exist. For one, if the body isn't thawed at exactly the right temperature, the person's cells could turn to ice and blast into pieces.
1. Consciousness
When you wake up in the morning, you might perceive that the Sun is just rising, hear a few birds chirping, and maybe even feel a flash of happiness as the fresh morning air hits your face. In other words, you are conscious. This complex topic has plagued the scientific community since antiquity. Only recently have neuroscientists considered consciousness a realistic research topic. The greatest brainteaser in this field has been to explain how processes in the brain give rise to subjective experiences. So far, scientists have managed to develop a great list of questions.

There are times in every woman's life where her body wants either what her heart can't handle or her brain knows better.
Men are seemingly born knowing how to detract emotions from sex, but women can have a harder time of it.
Men are seemingly born knowing how to detract emotions from sex, but women can have a harder time of it.
You know the drill -- you want a man, but not a relationship. Or, more to the point, you want some loving, but don't want the strings attached.
Maybe you're wildly attracted to a dude physically, but find him mentally or morally lacking -- like a tanning technician or a bounty hunter.
There's no way you'd ever date him, but why should you deny yourself entirely?
Answer: Not a reason in the world.
Negotiating a long-term, friends-with-benefits type situation can be tricky for us ladies.
Dudes are seemingly born knowing how to detract emotions from physical activity. In fact, with many of them, I think it's their default setting. They can spend the night with a woman and then meander off into the sunset without giving the assignation a second thought.
But women can have a harder time of it. We worry that we're being "used" (hello? Pot meet Kettle!) or feel like we're being promiscuous -- talk about a double standard! The trick is to accept what you've got with this person and avoid trying to make it something it'll never be. I've certainly been guilty of trying to turn a completely fine FWB into a BF, and the results were predictably disastrous.
So here are some pitfalls to avoid:
• Language: Yes, it helps if he speaks a foreign language you don't understand, but that's not what I'm talking about. Pronouns like us or we are to be avoided like an open sore and all talk of plans further into the future than an hour or two away is verboten.
• Meals: Acceptable FWB dining situations include shared bowls of cocktail peanuts, late-night grilled cheese sandwiches, and fancy desserts. Meals to be avoided are breakfast, brunch, dinner, with a special get-out-of-jail free card for lunch.
• Conversation: Questions any more probing than "what are you wearing?" and "when can we meet?" can get a little sticky. Your FWB doesn't want to hear about your crazy mom and you really don't want him to start yapping about his Ayn Rand fixation. Keep it light, keep it moving.
• Socializing: He doesn't meet your friends, you don't meet his. That goes double for family members. The best thing about having a FWB is that he's your dirty little secret.
I remember being out with a girlfriend and running into the French-Canadian model I was spending my nights with at the time. He kissed me hello as my friend's jaw dropped down three flights of stairs. Blushing, I introduced him to my buddy who was still having trouble recovering her powers of speech. As he walked away, she punched me. Hard. "Shut up!" she yelled. I just smiled.
On second thought, if he's that hot you might want to bring him around just for a drive-by.

"Chaste Clara Meadmore has NEVER bothered with a bit of the other — and reckons it could be the secret behind her long life."
She is turning 105, she said in an interview; "I’ve just never been interested in or fancied having sex. I imagine there’s a lot of hassle involved."
Dang! I think she should be a Saint, that's as hard as taking torture. Don't you agree? haha. Imagine, 105 years of no action or anything, impossible. But since this came from a news site it should be true right? See the whole story and see a picture of her here, http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1790791.ece
Sorry I can't post any picture here, they prohibited anyone from copying the pictures, haha, so just go to the link I provided.

SANGER - A controversy has arisen out of Denton County involving a 13-year-old boy, a cell phone and a text message. That message has landed the middle schooler in juvenile detention on child pornography charges.
Text messaging has become part of our everyday lives.
But at Sanger Middle School, it has become a problem and in some cases, pornographic.
"He doesn't know what a felony means. He doesn't understand what pornography means," said one parent.
She is a mother of a 13-year-old boy arrested Monday and suspended from school and spent the night in a juvenile detention center after an eighth grade female student texted him a naked picture of herself.
"He's a 13-year-old child. He's in middle school. He's supposed to be out there having fun, hanging out and playing football, which he loves to do. Instead, he's having to sit at home with mom and dad," said his mother.
The school district caught wind of the problem about a week and a half ago.
They sent out a letter to parents, warning them of the images from this apparent school yard game.
"I know some girl was taking pictures of herself and sending it to multiple guys. Obviously, they've still got their picture on their phone because they are now getting in trouble," said Bethany Mitchell, a classmate.
So far only the 13-year-old boy has been arrested.
Police and the school district are not discussing actions against any of the other students.

Stumbled upon this list on askmen.com. Check it out, it's pretty useful if you're planning to get one. Let's start with 10 going to the top 1. By the way, this list may somewhat be appropriate to women too, well, I think so?
10. A superhero emblem
Yes, Batman is a badass, Spider-Man is cool and it's awesome that Superman can subdue an intergalactic menace with a flick of his cape. The emblems emblazoned on their chests represent heroic greatness in their stories, but when they’re tattooed on you, they tend to represent your geekiness. Let’s face it, comic books are fun to read, but if you're proudly displaying your loyalty, you may find your only female fans at Comic-Con.
Alternative: A family emblem or crest
A tattoo of a family emblem or crest gives you something real to stand behind, plus it's unique to you. The best part: You can feel proud talking about it with a woman the morning after.
It's either you look nerdy or you look geeky, and that's a no brainer.
9. A mythical animal

Consider this prison conversation:
Inmate one: “Hey can you give me some new ink?”
Inmate two: “Yeah, what do you want?”
Inmate one: “Either a unicorn or an oak tree nymph.”
Inmate two: “Definitely oak tree nymph, everyone on the block’s going unicorn.”
Now back to reality. The idea of getting a mythical animal, whether it’s a giant, elf, sprite or Hydra is as outlandish as the myths from which they originate.
Alternative: A real animal
There are plenty of living animals tough enough for a tattoo, but if you’re still hung on myths, go Chinese dragon. Say no to centaur.
Acceptable, but who would want to see a guy with a pretty unicorn on his arms?
8. An anchor

Do you captain a sea-trawling vessel? Live on a battleship? Sail the high seas as a pirate or have forearms bumped out like a python after a meal, a girlfriend named Olive and an addiction to spinach? Then anchor’s away. If you answered “no” to any of the preceding, leave the anchor tattoo to true sailors and start thinking about other options for yourself.
Alternative: A symbol of your actual profession
Think about what you do for a living. If you’re a stock trader, try a bull tattoo. If you work in construction, try sledgehammers crossed over each other. If you’re a lawyer, try lady justice. Are you an IT pro? Try 001010101010101.
Popeye is the only one who can wear it and still be cool, if you aren't Popeye, you'll probably look like the fag in the picture.
7. An iconic face

You think Bob Marley’s god and Al Pacino’s Scarface is cool. You also have a soft spot for Elvis. Why not immortalize your heroes with a tattoo? It sounds reasonable, but beware: Their strong real-life face in photographs can quickly turn into a cartoon on your arm. Now with a botched illustration, you’ve just reduced your hero to a caricature -- for life.
Alternative: A correlating inanimate symbol
Instead of Bob’s face, try some “Redemption Song” lyrics with reggae colors. Stay away from Scarface’s mug and say “hello” to a Scarface movie poster every day instead. Want some Elvis ink? Go subtle with blue suede shoes.
It's ok as long as it's done excellently, and you're ok with dealing with lots of people with the same tattoo on their body.
6. A pop-culture reference

You can’t stop saying them or including them in e-mails. So why not tattoo them and make it even funnier. While it may be tempting to have “Give’R,” “Let’s get’r done,” “LFMAO” or “I can has cheeseburger” across your shoulder blades to get laughs from your buddies, remember that you’re committed to it for life. Once the joke fades, you’ll be permanently stuck with an expression from an era you’re about to outgrow.
Alternative: A quote
Are you into sports and want something inspirational tattooed on your skin? Try Wayne Gretzky’s zen saying: ”100% of the shots you don’t take don’t go in.” Would you prefer something more intellectual? Go to Oscar Wilde for “I am not young enough to know everything.” The list of good quotes is endless.
OMG, ROFLMAO, and WTF will never look cool on your arms.
5. A cartoon figure

You may have grown up with Looney Tunes and you might still watch the shows. As a result it may be tempting to tattoo Bugs, Daffy or Yosemite Sam to pay tribute. But remember this: They’re cartoons and you’re old enough to go to war. Sure, the “Barber of Seville” sketch with the purple-faced tenor is hilarious, but a recreation on your shoulder blade will probably creep out more women than attract them.
Alternative: An original drawing
Come up with your own design. If you can’t draw, ask a friend who can. Originality sticks better and gives you a story to tell.
As cute as you think it'll look, it'll be the gayest thing you'll ever do. Well, except if you did something else...
4. Barbed wire

Yes, barbed wire works on Pam Anderson and Motley Crue’s Vince Neil did it fair justice in the ‘80s, but this once outsider tattoo is now well-worn in the mainstream, which steals you of any pioneering taste in the matter. If you’re hung up on an armband, there are ways you can create something unique.
Alternative: Text
Similar to our No. 6 suggestion, consider wrapping text around your arm that has some personal meaning. Whether this is your own quote or good advice from your grandfather, roundabout text can look sharp.
Who the hell is interested with wires on an arm? Raise your hand, and I'll shoot you. The dullest of all tattoos ever.
3. A Chinese symbol

You may have one already, but it seems that everybody has a Chinese symbol tattoo. And when they’re asked, many say it represents peace, strength, compassion or another pseudo-spiritual theme. What’s worse is that most would admit they can’t verify if that’s indeed what their tattoo means. For all they know it could say “kick me.”
Alternative: A symbol of your cultural heritage
So, you’re not from China and can’t lay claim to cool calligraphy. Still, every culture has unique symbols and interesting icons. Do some research to find one that works for yours.
Too overused. And you don't even know how it's read or how it's done.
2. Your girlfriend's or wife's name

Never, ever get a tattoo of a girlfriend's or wife’s name. Buy flowers, write poems, stencil her name on teddy bears, T-shirts or baseball hats, but for god’s sake, do not get a girlfriend's or wife’s name tattooed on you. Even if you’re a romantic and believe you’re going to be with your girlfriend/wife forever, don’t do it, man. Besides, if your love is eternal, you won’t need a reminder of her name on your body.
Alternative: A daughter or son’s name
You’ve got a much higher guarantee that you’ll care for your children throughout their lives, even after they move away.
No no, though it looks sweet, you cannot leave yourself a mark of your girl, how about your guys' night outs?
1. Any tattoo on your face

OK, if you’re Maori, but otherwise Mike Tyson is your next role model. Of course, if you’re planning on joining a freak show and have figured out that you can make a living off it, start inking. If you have aspirations of working outside a tattoo shop or carnival, avoid a face tattoo at all costs.
Alternative: Anywhere else
Calf, legs, shoulder blade, shoulder, triceps: The body is a big canvas and you have a lot of choice. Pick any spot you want. Your face has a hard enough time from sports injuries and the odd after-bar lunatic without needing a tattoo.
Nothing can beat this, face tattoo is the ugliest tattoo for me, unless it doesn't look like a tattoo, like a tattoo eye brows and the such.

To all guys out there who are getting in the stage where you need to wear a tie, this will come in handy. Though my dad thought me how to do it, I never learned perfectly how it's done. It's something all guys need to know, but almost all don't know how to do it. And I for one is guilty of this, I may successfully tie a tie at times, but that's pure luck, and that'll probably look crappy. haha. So here are steps on how to tie a tie, by the way this isn't only handy to guys, this can be learned by women too, it looks sweet when you are tying your guy's tie, right? hehe, cheesy.
So here it goes...
Windsor
The granddaddy of them all, the Windsor is the most traditional knot and it the first one to master when you learn how to tie a tie; it creates a hefty, professional-looking knot, meaning that it works best for any occasion when you want to look completely respectable.
1. Place the tie around your shoulders, top-side up, with the fat end hanging roughly a foot lower than the skinny end.
2. Cross the fat portion over the skinny end to make an X fairly close to your neck (around the second shirt button).
3. Loop the fat end underneath the thin end and up through the neck loop. Drop it down so that it overlaps the thin end again.
4. Pull the fat end behind the bundle of cloth you've created (your first step toward the final knot) to the left. Pull it up and drop it down through the neck loop again, then pull it to the left again.
5. Pull the fat end over from left to right, overlapping your evolving knot.
6. Pull the fat end up through the loop again, behind what now looks like a nearly complete knot.
7. Bring the fat end back down and insert it through the knot.

8. Finish your knot by tightening it. In doing so, you will see the beginnings of a natural dimple form. Manipulate it manually to make this dimple as distinct as possible. Its purpose is to add depth to an otherwise flat, bland-surfaced tie, and concurrently to mark you as a man of style. You will never leave the house without a dimple in your tie again.
Half-Windsor
1. Place the tie around your shoulders, top-side up, with the fat end hanging roughly a foot lower than the skinny end.

2. Cross the fat portion over the skinny end to make an X fairly close to your neck (around the second shirt button).

3. Pull the fat end behind the thin end to the right, then up in front of it and down through the neck loop.

4. Pull the fat end over from right to left, overlapping your evolving knot.5. Pull the fat end up through the loop again, behind what now looks like a nearly complete knot.

6. Bring the fat end back down and insert it through the knot.
7. Finish your knot by tightening it; again, accentuate that dimple.
Four-in-Hand
Looking for a knot with little time-investment and less pretension? The Four-in-Hand is all yours. It’s an on-the-go knot that works with both casual looks and narrow collars.
1. Place the tie around your shoulders, top-side up, with the fat end hanging roughly a foot lower than the skinny end.

2. Cross the fat portion over the skinny end to make an X fairly close to your neck (around the second shirt button).

3. Wrap the fat end around the thin end, then up through the neck loop. Drop the fat end back down and through the knot.


4. Finish your knot by tightening it. Note that the dimple is much harder to produce on this kind of knot and may prove entirely elusive.
Pratt
The Pratt is that well-rounded knot most guys will depend on religiously; its symmetrical look and less complicated construction deem the Pratt the most universal knot that goes with any dress shirt.1. Place the tie around your neck upside down (with the seams facing outward). Note that the fat end should be hanging lower than the thin end.

2. Cross the two ends over to form an X and flip the fat end up and through the loop to form a knot around the smaller end.

3. Pull both ends apart quite tightly to ensure your knot is snug, then bring the fat end of the tie over the thin end to cover your first knot.


4. Pull the fat end up and through the loop, then drop it down through the knot.5. Tighten and dimple up.
There, choose your own style and look neat with a tie on.

A little something to think about, if you were to choose between being wanted or needed what will you prefer? This pertains to a relationship, it may be friendship, lovers, family, etc.

ISLAMORADA, Fla. - A dog is recovering after a Florida Keys carpenter dove in to save his pet from a shark.
Greg LeNoir said he took his 14-pound rat terrier Jake for a daily swim at a marina last Friday.
The five-foot shark suddenly surfaced and grabbed nearly the entire dog in its mouth.
LeNoir said he yelled, then balled up his fists and dove headfirst into the water off a pier. He hit the shark in the back and the creature finally let go of the dog.
"I couldn't see the shark when I dived in ... so I just put my fist together ... but my hands landed solidly against the back of the shark," LeNoir told NBC-affiliate WTVJ.
Man and dog made it safely back to shore. The dog suffered bite wounds but was not critically injured.
"I thought Jake deserved whatever I could do," LeNoir said of his heroism.
LeNoir told NBC 6 that Jake "can't stand swimming pools," but that he might have to change Jake’s swimming hole.

What if he didn't hit the shark? Oooh, I feel this news will be on the obituary. But kudos to him still, very courageous.
