About ClassRealm
Welcome to the Realm! Before you start throwing handfuls of money at the screen or exiting out of this tab in disgust I feel it's only fair I explain what exactly ClassRealm is. In simplest terms ClassRealm is a customizable web-based tool that can be used by teachers, students and parents to track student achievements, provide students with entertaining and educational adventures, as well as improve their overall academic performance. ClassRealm will be accessible from any web-enabled desktop or mobile device.
The ClassRealm system is based on role playing games such as Pokémon, Final Fantasy, and even some classic table-top rulesets such as Dungeons & Dragons. Students can level up, gain achievements and even fight off enemies with their knowledge and good deeds. These gaming ideals come from years and years of video game influence. The ClassRealm team wants to bring as many gaming aspects to the system as possible, while still keeping the core educational values.
ClassRealm's focus is showing students a path to content mastery as well as proving that learning can be an exciting journey for everyone involved. We encourage and reward students to do work they may normally find unrewarding or pointless. ClassRealm is also a way to tap into children's creativity and harness their desire to have fun and learn at their own pace. We leverage this to encourage them to master their classroom content.
Education is an ever evolving system and it has changed rapidly with the influx of technology and social standards over the years. One of the key features of ClassRealm is that we are building it to adapt to any and every classroom, no matter the setting or current year. Curriculum, standards, and teaching styles are altered constantly, and ClassRealm will follow suit.
Here's a little about how teachers, students, and parents can benefit from ClassRealm.
ClassRealm is an online management system built for teachers by teachers. It gives educators the ability to completely customize their own classroom world. Setting up achievements, experience points, hit points, "edventures" and character details are just a few of the customizable elements of ClassRealm. Implementing ClassRealm will motivate students, help teachers track lesson trends, and give classrooms a sense of community. Its sole purpose is to make teaching more fun and effective for both teachers and those being taught. ClassRealm is being designed from the ground up to eliminate the hassle of developing a system manually and will provide the tools to create, track, and manage your classroom's every move.
Though students don't have as much control over ClassRealm's initial set up as teachers they still play the most important role. What good is a kingdom if there are no citizens? Students pick from a list of fantasy/sci-fi races and enhancers to create a ClassRealm persona. This character is their key to another world. All of the character's information and actions are controlled by the student. Students can earn teacher-made achievements and gain experience points throughout the school day, as well as earn points and achievements online at home. Getting an A on a test is great, but earning a shiny virtual "Test Slayer" achievement is more fun. We want to push students to their full potential by offering them an entertaining and educational world that they can influence and be a part of.
Parents love to know what's going on in the classroom. ClassRealm gives parents a chance to see what their student is up to at school on a daily basis. By checking a student's character profile, parents can see where their students are excelling and where they need help. Parents can also create "Side Quests" specifically to motivate their student. These quests can be public or secret and are only shared with the student and the teacher.

Classroom Beta Testing
Before ClassRealm grew in to the system you see now it was a simple idea I implemented in my 6th grade classroom. I'm happy to report that ClassRealm is still going strong and motivating students on a consistant basis. Obviously it does not have all the aspects that we hope to include in our final project, as I was simply using a paper list, a bulletin board, and a self-made web page. Did every student's grade point average skyrocket to a perfect 4.0? No. Did every student ace their last standardized test? Probably not. But I did find students participating more and working harder, especially some that could usually care less. ClassRealm has yielded a great sense of community in my classroom. One that is based on hard work and doing right by others. Some students don't care as much as others, but that goes without saying. As long as I'm helping at least one student reach their full potential I don't plan on stopping. Luckily I have many students excelling, some more than others, because of ClassRealm.
What Will ClassRealm Feature at Launch?
ClassRealm has grown substantially since its initial creation and we will include the following features at launch (assuming we hit our goal!). The more we raise the more we can do!
Custom Made Characters - Students will have the option of picking from multiple fantasy/sci-fi races and enhancers. With three factors involved (race, enhancer, and gender) there will be over 200 different characters for students to choose from, not to mention different color schemes and armor choices. A student's character can be anything from a Frost Elf to a Werewolf Pirate. Students can also write a bio for their character and add specific details, which they can share with their friends and fellow classmates. A student's real name and personal data will NEVER be available to the public. Only teachers can see students real names and only those picked by the student can see their bio.
The ClassRealm Race Election will be held in June to determine the final fantasy/sci-fi race we will include in the character database. Each race is represented more than 20 times using different enhancers and genders! Only those pledging $25 or more can vote in the election. Those pledging large amounts of money even get the chance to include their own race and enhancers in the ClassRealm world in the future.
Experience Point (XP) and Hit Point (HP) Tracking - Experience points, much like any RPG, are the heart of ClassRealm. Teachers can give out XP as they see fit throughout the day and students can earn them on their own when playing online. Teachers can customize how many XP it takes for their students to level up as well as set up hit points for the students' characters. Hit points are lost when a student misbehaves or fails to turn in work. Both XP and HP are completely optional, so teachers can choose to use both, one, or neither.
Built-in and Teacher Made Achievements - Many students, especially in middle and high school, lack motivation when it comes to grades and their behavior. ClassRealm achievements give teachers the chance to reward students for anything and everything school related. Helping others, acing tests, showing up on time, reading, writing, participating in class discussion - the possibilities are endless. ClassRealm will provide a core set of standard achievements that teachers can choose from, as well as giving them the option to create their own. You'd be surprised how much extra effort students will put in when a shiny virtual badge is on the line.
Attendance, Assignment, and Participation Tracking - When it comes to giving students achievements and experience points for attendance, assignments and participation it's a pain to have to look in other programs and systems just to find the data. This is why ClassRealm will feature easy to use input methods to track these important student interactions. Data will be stored and can be viewed at any time.
ClassRealm Edventures - ClassRealm is based on video games, so it's only fair that there is an actual gaming aspect to it. ClassRealm Edventures will give students the chance to fight off baddies, explore new lands and earn experience through the power of knowledge. Can't find any good Edventures on ClassRealm? Make your own! Teachers can customize their very own Edventures featuring content from any grade level or subject. These Edventures can then be shared with the class or even the entire teaching world. The more users ClassRealm gets, the bigger the Edventure grows!
Side Quests - As mentioned in the Parents section, Side Quests are created by parents to push students in certain areas. Side Quests are only seen by the participating student, unless otherwise specified. For example: A parent could set up a Side Quest called "Clock Conquerer" for their son who is constantly late to class. Every time he shows up on time he gets a mark and once he reaches 20 marks he gets to go to the movies. ClassRealm will even remind teachers to look for Side Quest actions at personalized times.
Responsive Web Design - There is no denying that technology such as iPads and web-enabled tablets are becoming main stream in the world of education. We want to give teachers a chance to leverage this technology to their advantage while in the classroom. The ClassRealm web-app will make taking attendance, giving out XP and recording achievements a breeze. Responsive web design will let our site adapt to the device or browser it's opened on, meaning ClassRealm will accessible by any teacher with an internet connection. Students and parents can also use the ClassRealm site to check up on their character and earn virtual rewards.
Printable ClassRealm Sheets - It's foolish to think that every teacher in the world has access to a mobile web based device to use in front of their class. This is why we will include ClassRealm sheets that teachers can use the old fashioned way - with a pencil! Available sheets will include experience points, hit points, achievements and attendance. Pen and paper to the rescue!
Why Should I Back ClassRealm?
You may have noticed that ClassRealm is not a video game in the traditional sense. It's much more than that. ClassRealm gives teachers the chance to make learning fun for students in ways that the world hasn't quite seen. Yes, this is a system designed for teachers, students and parents. You may not be one of those at the moment, but consider how your contribution can help all of those who will use this system to educate future students.
Many students dread going to school because it's tedious, difficult, or not challenging enough. Many teachers can't quite get through to their students. Many parents have run out of ways to motivate their children in the classroom. YOU can help us innovate!
A special shout out to gamers who care enough about the medium and about education to donate their hard earned cash. I have seen the gaming community pull together and influence many great ideas, and it is my hope ClassRealm can become one of them. Thank you for showing the world that gamers care about education!
Where Does This Money Go?
You may be wondering why we need $65,000 to make a web-application like ClassRealm. We want to spare no expense in making ClassRealm an extremely efficient and attractive application for teachers, students and parents. Kickstarter funds will go towards:
- Illustrations and Interface art assets (Alice needs to eat!)
- Back end web systems development
- Music and sound effects
- Edventures game development
- Paying for all your cool swag and shipping it to you
- Server configuration, hosting, and overall system architecture
Founder Ben Bertoli & Creative Lead Courtny Cotten will be donating every ounce of their own efforts and free time into making ClassRealm a successful project. That being said, they will not be taking proceeds from any of the Kickstarter funding.
Backer Rewards!
We've done our best to include some really nifty rewards. Pictured below is the limited edition ClassRealm t-shirt, printable bookmark, and bumper sticker choices. All rewards are guaranteed to be awesome!*
*Opinions may vary
We are proud to announce that we will also be introducing a new educational based trading card game called ClassRealm: Math Monsters! This game helps students review math facts while battling each other as mythical creatures and ClassRealm characters. Math Monsters! can be played with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as more advance math such as fractions and negative integers. Below are a few examples of the Math Monsters! cards that will be given to backers at different reward levels. Our play testing has proven that students love it!
We'll add more about the card game in the coming days, including an in depth look at how to play and what to expect. Yes, the numbers are supposed to be upside down!
Will ClassRealm be Free?
Yes and no. ClassRealm will have a free option as well as a paid one. The paid option, known as ClassRealm+, can be purchased at a three month, six month, or year long price. ClassRealm Basic, which will be free, will feature everything a teacher needs to start their own ClassRealm, as well as dozens of customizable options. ClassRealm+ will feature more content and enhanced options. This means more characters to choose from, more customizable games, more lesson plan options, a larger choice of preset achievements and more classroom tools for tracking data. If you start out with basic you can upgrade to ClassRealm+ at any time, but you will never be forced to do so.
We don't plan on building the ClassRealm interface and then leaving it to collect virtual dust. Education is constantly changing and our goal is to keep updating the site with content and options. Sadly, we can't afford to do this if we aren't generating income from ClassRealm. The vast majority of income made by ClassRealm will go back in to the site. We're not some evil company who is trying to squeeze money from hard working teachers and school corporations, but we're also not a team of multi–millionaires who can afford to pay outright for everything we need. We believe ClassRealm can become one of the best educational tools in years, but we can't do it alone.
The Future of ClassRealm
As stated above (many times), ClassRealm is a system full of potential and with time that system will only get better. Here are a few items we would like to include in the near future. Who knows, if we go beyond our 65K goal we may be able to make some of these ideas a reality sooner than we had planned!
- Easy to use lesson plan templates for teachers
- A lesson plan community for teachers to share, create, and explore available lesson plans
- More games and lessons linked to Common Core Standards
- More characters for students to choose from
- Seating chart manager for teachers
- Advanced game mechanics
- Pre-made and custom curriculum based worlds for students to explore
- Small helpful classroom applications for teacher use
- More language options for our overseas friends

Zero Waste - How green can you go?
Bea Johnson sees through you. She sees through the hemp shopping tote where you slipped that plastic bag of fair-trade bananas, BPA/phthalate-free container of kombucha and organic Gorilla Munch that's packaged in a bag inside a box. Johnson sees, as you get into your new electric Leaf, that you're trying to live more sustainably but maybe you could use a little guidance. She's just the one to offer it.
The Mill Valley resident, her husband, Scott, and their sons Max and Léo generate just one quart of trash a year. Johnson, who details her family's efforts to live more sustainably in the popular blog www.zerowastehome.blogspot.com and recently released book of the same name ($17; Scribner) lives by the five R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot - in that order. "Don't take what you don't need, even if it's free," she told Chronicle contributor Anh-Minh Le.
To learn more about how she and her family cut their consumption and reduced spending by 40 percent, go to bit.ly/11tqsCw. For a taste of the Zero Waste lifestyle, check out Johnson's quick and easy tips. (Oh, and Johnson also sees you rolling your eyes at No. 6: "This is what I do," she told The Chronicle. "If it works for you, too, great. If not, that's fine. Figure out a system that works for you.")
Simple ways to go trash-free
Bea Johnson's recently released book, "Zero Waste Home" ($17; Scribner), shares her experiences, as well as the expertise she has developed in attempting to create a trash-free household. Here are some simple yet effective ideas she and her family have implemented:
1. Shop in bulk and bring cloth bags, mesh bags, glass jars and bottles to the store. They can hold different types of foods - such as grains, fruit, meat and olive oil. Bring totes, too, to carry all of your groceries home in.
2. Many beauty and bath products, including liquid soap and lotions, can also be purchased without packaging and some can be homemade. In Johnson's case, she makes her own tooth powder (instead of toothpaste) and bronzer; the recipes are included in her book.
3. When it comes to housekeeping, again, Johnson goes the homemade route. She uses a vinegar mixture in lieu of a range of other cleaning products.
4. In the kitchen, she reduces food waste by employing various tricks, including freezing stale bread to eventually make bread pudding and reviving wilted lettuce in an ice bath.
5. For kids' arts and crafts projects, she uses watercolor dyes (most made with fruits and vegetables), as well as makes her own putty (with dryer lint) and play dough (with kitchen staples).
6. Johnson maintains a small wardrobe and only shops twice a year; when she brings in a new piece, an old one must go. She buys secondhand, recycles worn-out clothing and even composts the pills on wool sweaters.

You would have to pay me £130.00. to wear those shorts !
As with the Body suit, these bermuda shorts from Odlo are probably going to provoke a Marmite-esque love or hate reaction in people. Personally, I love them, but I've already been accused of dubious taste, so decide for yourself!
They are a baggy style short, primarily aimed at the mountain biking sorority, but as with most baggies, suitable to more relaxed casual style street riding as well.
They come in a variety of colour options such as striped, hot pink and even basic black. I particularly liked the striped colourway, as it reminded me subtly of deckchairs in a retro summery way. The hot pink looks great too.
The outers are a stretch fabric that is well cut, and features one of my favourite waistband details, a Velcro waist adjuster, so there's no gaping at the back of the waist- although there are belt loops for those who like a belt.
There are two side pockets, two rear Velcro pockets, a small zipped pocket in one thigh and venting holes in the legs that are also a design feature.
The liner shorts are made from highly breathable stretch mesh fabric, and are easily removable with a press stud and loop fastening to the outers to secure them in place. They have soft leg grippers and a good quality female specific synthetic pad which uses Odlo's 'High Protection' design which is their medium level of pad.
Given that they are baggies, these are definitely best suited to wear on more upright bikes such as hybrids and tourers or mountain bikes, but as such they are an extremely comfortable option.
The outer shorts have a good amount of flex in the fabric to prevent any feeling of constriction on the thighs when riding, and the inner shorts have a pad that works well, giving good levels of comfort for rides short or long. The pad moulds well to the body and isn't too bulky, yet does the trick nicely at improving ride comfort.
£130 is a lot for a pair of shorts, but they are available for less in some places (Wiggle currently have them on sale for £104). What you are paying for is technology advanced enough that AG2R were racing in Odlo kit, and a genuinely different looking product, not just another black pair of baggy cycling shorts.
They are well made and they will last well too. Just make sure you can outride the fashion police!
Casual beach style short with a performance liner for laid back summery rides, but at a price.

My God they are hideous!
Maybe we should get those caught doping to have to wear these shorts when they return to cycling after serving their supposed 2 year ban. Well the prospect of a ban does not seem to be much of a threat, especially if you argue about it for approx 18 months, maybe the threat of having to wear these in public may do the trick and shame them into laying off the banned substances.

Before getting my nipples pierced I had sort of figured I was done getting piercings for some time. I already have 5/8" lobes, an industrial, a second lobe piercing, a surface piercing on my nape, venoms, my belly button, and my septum pierces. I have considered getting more cartilage piercings, but my industrial has been so fussy that I figure I don't want to deal with another one of those. In fact, I thought I was done for a while before I got my belly button pierced (something I never thought I would do for some reason), but obviously that is probably never the case.
A good friend that I had made in rehab and I had kept in close contact with each other since both graduating the program we were in, but still had not seen each other in a over a year. We had briefly discussed doing a small brand of some kind on each other when we met up again or doing a sort of "blood sisters" like ritual. Then recently my friend mentioned she thought it would be really cool to be "nipple sisters" and that she was hoping to come out to visit me over spring break and that she would love to get pierced with me since I knew of a really great shop in my town. I had gotten most all of my piercings done at this shop, as had all my friends, as well as their custom tattoos, and many of them had worked there as well. Needless to say, I very much trusted the head piercer, Orian, and his apprentice Cameron, as well as the environment as a whole. If anyone is in the area of Taos New Mexico and looking for either great piercing or (amazing) tattoo work, Talisman Tattoo and Piercing is the place to go.
My friend met me at the shop after I had spent some time hanging out there and talking with Cameron. When she arrived and Cameron asked who was going first we both pointed at one another, but it was quickly decided that I had to go first. I chose to get barbells and filled out the familiar paperwork. Then Orian, Cameron, my soon to be nipple sister, and another friend of mine all came to the back room to watch me get pierced. Cameron spent a good deal of time sterilizing and marking my nipples for the horizontal piercings, and then having Orian check them for accuracy. After finally getting marked off perfectly I laid down on that familiar table.
Next came the clamps. I have heard tons of people say that the clamps hurt the most but honestly I don't know if I agree. They are rather uncomfortable, and rather pinching. After positioning the clamps properly and making all my friends quiet down so I wouldn't keep laughing, Cameron asked if I was ready. I said, "No....Yes", because no matter how many times I have gotten pierced or how much I enjoy it, I still always get a little bit nervous! Then he says take a deep breath in and out, and as I exhale, he pushes the needle all the way through my left nipple. I can't say that it didn't hurt, but it did feel very odd, I could feel the beginning, middle, and end of the needles journey, and it pinched a little maybe, but there is no way that I could compare the feeling it carried to any other piercing I have. He stated aloud when the piercing was finished, and then put the jewelry in.
Cameron asked if I was ready for the next one, and then offered that I could look in the hand mirror so I didn't have to get up off the table. Then I got to look at my shiny new nipple! And I was so excited about it, and couldn't wait to have to matching one. I was slightly in awe because it was so different to see my nipple that way. When I handed the mirror back he went at it straight away, putting the clamp on. This time with my inhale/exhale, I winced on the exhale, and I was very conscious of the fact I did. This one hurt more than the first one of course, it always seems that way. But faster than ever it was over, the jewelry was in, and Cameron was asking is I was dizzy at all. I said no, sat up and walked over to the full length mirror. I was so excited by the new and strange barbells going through my nipples, and thanked him a bunch!
He set let me get dressed and sent us out of the room so he could sterilize it properly for my friend who still had to go next. I was still running on adrenaline and felt great and jittery. Soon it was my friends turn and she took her shirt and bra off, and got cleaned and marked off, though the process was much quicker seeming this time around. I was excited to watch her get pierced because it is always my favorite to see other people getting work done. She also winced a bit. But she said the clamp was the most painful part (I still don't really agree!!). Then she was done and also very stoked about the foreign metals in her nipples!
Overall wonderful process, fun meaning behind the reasoning, not a difficult piercing to get, and I am looking forward to playing when they are healed!! I recommend it to anyone!

YORKSHIRE's director of professional cricket Martyn Moxon is hoping the door is not closed on Adam Lyth and Gary Ballance as he backed them to return to international cricket.
After jumping to the defence of Yorkshire duo Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid in the face of intense criticism of their performances in the recent Test series against Pakistan, most notably from former England captain Bob Willis, Yorkshire boss Moxon has also thrown his weight behind their county colleagues Lyth and Ballance as they battle to return to the highest level.
Both batsmen lost their Test places last summer, with Lyth axed after scoring only 115 runs in the five Tests against Australia despite starting his Test career so promisingly with a hundred in only his second game against New Zealand at the start of the summer.
Ballance's joy at becoming the third-fastest England player to 1,000 Test runs in the spring soon turned to despair when he was dropped after the second Ashes Test in July following a run of low scores.
"I hope that the door isn't closed on Lythy, and also that Gary can return to Test cricket," said Moxon.
"With Lythy, history says that when he's gone up a level, it's taken him a while to adjust to that rise in standard and he's kind of almost gone backwards to go forwards again.
"In county cricket, it took him a long time to nail it, and he's had some very inconsistent seasons in his career.
"It was only in 2014, really, when he absolutely nailed it, so it's taken him time to really find his feet.
"Will he be given that time again in Test cricket?
"England have to make that judgement.
"But would he do worse than anybody else?
"Moeen Ali hasn't done any better than him as an opener, I think it's fair to say, and what Lythy has done is shown that he's capable of getting a hundred in Test cricket."
As for Ballance, Moxon feels he also has much to offer to England going forward.
"Gary has shown that he's capable of scoring runs at the highest level, so I'm hoping that he'll be back sooner rather than later," he said.
"He is another outstanding young batsman and I definitely feel that he's got all the qualities.
"Clearly players lose form, and I'm not saying that our lads are immune to being dropped by England.
"But there are certain players that have been given a longer run than others, shall we say, and have had a bit more faith shown in them."
Moxon is encouraged by what he has heard so far from Trevor Bayliss, the new England coach.
Moxon believes the Australian will start to make more of a mark on the team now that his honeymoon period is over.
"I'd like to think that Trevor Bayliss, now he's got his feet under the table a little bit and he's seen people performing, will judge who he thinks is worth persevering with," said Moxon.
"With any coach, it's going to take time to get to know the players, to see what they can do and make an assessment, and I think he's going through that period at the minute.
"I'm sure that he will back the players that he wants going forward."

This dissertation investigates the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the presence of non-SLE alternatives, while developing novel curve classification methodologies with wide ranging applications. Functional data representations of plasma thermogram measurements and the corresponding derivative curves provide predictors yet to be investigated for SLE identification. Functional nonparametric classifiers form a methodological basis, which is used herein to develop a) the family of ESFuNC segment-wise curve classification algorithms and b) per-pixel ensembles based on logistic regression and fused-LASSO. The proposed methods achieve test set accuracy rates as high as 94.3%, while returning information about regions of the temperature domain …

Tyson Fury labels UFC star Bisping a 'first class pr**k'
Tyson Fury has continued his baiting of the UFC's top athletes, labelling Michael Bisping a "first class pr**k" after the Brit said Cain Velasquez would "destroy" Fury in a fight.
Fury created headlines for himself earlier in the week by claiming he is the "baddest man on the planet", and he challenged UFC heavyweight champion Velasquez to a fight "in the ring or in a cage".
Velasquez has not responded but, in a recent interview with the Mirror, Bisping offered his thoughts on a theoretical matchup, claiming the boxer would be out of his depth and would get "absolutely destroyed".
Fury has now taken issue with Bisping, writing on Twitter: "I hear I'd get killed by Velasquez. Not in a million years!
"I think Michael Bisping is a first class pr**k! Him and Velasquez at the same time couldn't beat me! My friend KO'd Bisping. Ask him."
Fury went on to tweet at Bisping: "You are a w**ker who is sh*t at fighting, ask anyone."
Bisping has clearly sensed Fury's intention to make a name for himself via the constant jibes, and refused to rise to the boxer's taunts. Instead he just told his followers to ignore Fury.
"Everyone just ignore that excuse of a man, Tyson something. He's trying to get hype, I'd never heard of him till he called out Cain."

[Verse 1: Domo Genesis]
My flow is crispy, hundred dollar bills
I tend to not care how niggas feel
Say what the fuck I want, bitch I'm ill
Keep it real, I ain't feeling you niggas I'm killing you niggas
Mentally rich before I sign a deal on you niggas
I get it crackin, while you niggas all rapping in whack fashion
I'm calling niggas' numbers on action that's Kat Stack-ing
Track hacking, cutting slack that can't happen
Any cat easing up on the plan, ya man scratching
I ain't parlaying with these rap niggas
I'm in the spot, rolling pot scheming plots to get my racks bigger
Any feature, on sight Doms attack nigga
Taking champagne to the brain like fuck a bad liver
Play your lane I'll be speeding down the runway
Nigga keep it raw like wrestling on Monday
Chest out, not giving a fuck to what a punk say
I know some hood niggas like Ross that's with the gunplay
[Hook: Earl Sweatshirt & Action Bronson]
Stay tuned, six Goonies in a whip
Straight Hoochie only blew me cause I'm rich
Shit, we swerve ships
Medicine that burns lips, earn chips
She only blew me cause I'm rich
Where he at/There he at(X2)
In your city where them niggas carry gats
Sperry's kicked up, it's a ferry cruise
Fuck around, leave your family on the daily news
[Verse 2: Spaceghostpurrp]
I be the Don, believe me
Making your girl tease me
Pitch-black locs I dedicate it to Eazy
Pocket full of cheesy same color Luigi
Dead presidents, the resident is breezy
Funkiest of all I ball and call shots
In your girl's spot like cars in parking lots
The block stay hot like Floridian weather
Thinking that it's not? Then try dying in leather
Better yet, ninja turtle, I'm the shredder
Attacking every rapper with my shadow black reaper
Jeeper Creeper, kidnap you from the cipher
Eliminate competitors, the verbal lyric sniper
Phonk kill you, then I kill you too
Thinking and drinking and tweaking like Purrp is that dude
Mysterious I'm killing the game so fuck the fame
Confusing rappers with the mystical maze
To make them lame
Eighth track on No Idols. Featuring Earl x Bronson on the hook and a dope verse from SpaceGhostPurrp.

Outgoing offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride finds it hard to believe that the New York Giants' brass has wondered if Eli Manning has reached the decline phase of his career.
It would be easy for Gilbride to play along, pinning the blame for his disappointing offense on subpar quarterback play.
Instead, Gilbride shot down the notion as "ludicrous" while appearing on Monday's edition of NBCSN's "Pro Football Talk."
"There's been no deterioration of his arm strength, there's been no lack of preparation and effort," Gilbride said. "I think he's going to be fine as soon as they solidify the offensive line ... and as soon as they get somebody that's going to be productive for them as an outside receiver.
"Victor Cruz is terrific, but they need somebody that when they go match up, bump and run (and) go win for them."
As part of their offseason due diligence, the Giants owe it to themselves to ask if Manning is in decline -- especially with a contract due to expire after the 2015 season.
It's a good bet that the front office has reached the same conclusion as Gilbride, though.
Discussing the issue on Monday's edition of the "Around The League Podcast," we drew a comparison between the current version of Manning and Brett Favre's 2005 to '06 nadir on a rebuilding Packers team with a crumbling offensive line and a disturbing lack of weapons.
The difference is that Favre is one of the top 10 quarterbacks in NFL history, while Eli has been one of the most overrated. If the latter bounces back, it will be to slightly above average -- not great.
The latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast" covers the Aldon Smith arrest and analyzes the offseason movers and shakers in the NFC East and NFC South.

I am so in love with my new groovy word wall! It's so bright & colorful! Check it out here.
Inspired by Pinterest! Oh how I LOVE & AM OBSESSED WITH PINTEREST! Don't forget to follow me!I used labels on this BTW. Super easy & it keeps me so organized since I ditched my big clunky teacher desk this year.
I adore my window now! Thanks to my future student teacher for hanging those PITA (pain in the ass) beads that I HAD to have! But they turned out super groovy didn't they?!? I also got all those lava lamps when I went to the Route 127 sale. On the vent I have since put task cards on rings, & some magnetic letter for word work. If you can see the back of the book shelf on the right is a dry erase board which will also be used during Daily Five. The binders on the left are their future writing binders. Also inspired by Pinterest are the signs above. I printed & laminated them & put a magnet on the back. It covers a BIG & UGLY metal vent.
On the left is my writing center that has changed. I have added lots of new markers, pens, colored pencils, crayons, etc.
Rules (above board), bucket filler buckets & peace themed clip chart. Check out the peace themed rules HERE.
I glued the clip chart onto glitter card stock & then laminated it. I hole punched the top to put the rings through. I also modge podged tie dye scrapbook paper onto the clothespins & wrote their # on them.
I got rid of my big bulky teacher desk & moved this kidney table by my computer instead. I have 2 24'' rolling shelves underneath to hide some clutter. I love this area now! Nice & neat...well almost.
This is part of my new area. It's way more organized now, this was taken before school started. I <3 my Apprentice!
A little peek behind the kidney table. The white containers are used to store my Scott Foresman reading materials. I have 6 drawers...one drawer/story. I usually put my copying in by unit. I store morning work in the rainbow drawers which need labels. The famous Lakeshore bins are above & store my daily materials for all subjects. In the red crate I have hanging poly file folders with student #'s. Each has 2 file folders...in one I store their memory book artifacts & the other I put their assessment data.
I moved shelves around & put all my CD books on the top shelf under the word wall. I put all the reading buddies on the brown shelf tucked in the corner. I personally think it looks much more organized.This is another view of my library. The two white shelves are new. The shoe containers are from Dollar Tree...of course... & they house all of the extra supplies...each student has their own.
Closer view of the new & improved library. I put their morning work in the white bins & above that is where they put my mail, notes, etc.
This is the future writing/listening center. This is an old student desk that I got at a garage sale for $5! It fits the cd player perfect & I have a container above it that stores the listening center books. Under the desk will be the listening center forms & other writing paper we are using that week. On top are the funtastic writing supplies that they are drooling over. I have been purchasing a little at a time. The double shelf to the right, which I got at a garage sale for $10 (SCORE!), will store all kinds of writing paper & journal prompts. On top are their future writing binders. I plan on filling these with writing resources in sheet protectors & use the from year to year.
Closer view of my favorite part of my room! I love the beads & all my lava lamps!
The night before my little nuggets came to school.
Two of my girls sitting in the peace rainbow retreat..they love this!
This was a HUGE project but I had some help from my mom & we were able to get it done in about 4 hours. I modge podged 12x12 tie dye scrapbook paper on clipboards & then velcroed them to my closet doors. It's super easy to take work up & down now. The folders are where the kids put their homework. I can look at a glance who handed it in & who didn't. I love my super cute special signs I made. I pasted them on tie dye paper & then laminated them. Nice & colorful!
Here is my new & improved classroom job board...all peaced out! Check it out HERE!
Peace, Love, First Grade is the name of my classroom blog. Check it out HERE!
Of course I got inspired again on Pinterest & made 4 peaced out crate seats & I LOVE THEM!
Here are my other 2 seats. The shelves are all full now & I just noticed one of those little nuggets put their supply box back with the label not showing...hello! I just love this peace bean bag seat...I found it @ Marshall's & had to have it!
These are my student recognition necklaces I made. There is future author (girl & boy), future illustrator (girl & boy), future historian, (2) I am a bucket filler, future scientist, AR Star (girl & boy), computer genius, (2) I lost a tooth, Happy Birthday to me (girl & boy), star reader (girl & boy), handwriting queen, handwriting king, math whiz (girl & boy), spelling star, super star (girl & boy), star reader (girl & boy). The kids LOVE these beyond words! It's a great way to build their self esteem & get your bad little nuggets wanting one of these! I printed them out on Avery 8164 (3 1/3 x 4) labels & stuck them to glitter cardstock, laminated them & then put that stretchy string from Joanne's on it. I used to own necklaces from Lakeshore that said Happy Birthday, I lost a tooth, & star student but they are discontinued & were in pretty sad shape so I decided to make my own. Check them out HERE! THERE ARE 4 DIFFERENT SETS CALLED STUDENT RECOGNITION NECKLACES.
We are just starting CHAMPS this year. This is what I have so far...I am going to make cards to rotate next to each letter.
Here is my Daily Five board that I just redid & it was only a few weeks old. I purchased the Daily Five posters from Hilary Lewis' TPT store...check them out HERE. I glued them to tie dye paper & then laminated them.
This idea first came from Mrs. Cooley from First Grader...At Last. She posted about a fabulous for behavior called the "best beehavior" catalog where kids can shop for prizes. This got my wheels turning because I have been looking for a way to get rid of my treasure box. Then Mrs. Mabe from Fabulous Firsties posted her version of the behavior catalog choices & was nice enough to email me a copy! Thanks Mrs. Mabe! So I took her idea & made it my own. I wanted something for them to hold onto & for me not to create more work for myself to keep track of what they picked. So I made mini versions & printed them on cardstock & laminated them. So every Friday the kids will be able to trade in their warm fuzzies for a coupon or two of their choice. They will need to hold onto the coupon until the following Friday because the coupons will only be able to be used on Friday. So if I have a student pick "Wear your favorite hat to school" this will ONLY happen in my classroom on Friday. If they choose to "sit at the teacher's desk" this will ONLY happen on Friday. There are others that I will let "cash in" their coupon all week BUT there are certain coupons only good on Fridays. I did some additional ones that would only apply to my classroom such as job swap, peace seat, cd book picker, & calendar teacher. The ones that are shown should apply to anyone. I will get these posted this week so watch out for them.
BIG NEWS...BIG NEWS....BIG NEWS......I am proud to say that I am one of the Me and My Gang blog authors! I am so very excited. Please check out this blog & follow us! There are resources for everyone including a kindergarten, first, second & third grade lounge!

Last Colombian Drug Kingpin Falls: 'Crazy' Barrera Captured
(WASHINGTON) -- The last of the old-school Colombian drug lords has been captured in Venezuela, said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos during a televised speech on Tuesday. Daniel Barrera, also known as "Crazy Barrerra" or "The Madman," had a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head.
"Crazy Barrera has been perhaps the most wanted kingpin in recent times," Santos said.
The 50-year-old drug lord, who has allegedly smuggled cocaine to the U.S. for decades, was arrested while making a call on a public pay phone in San Cristobal, near the Colombian-Venezuelan border. The highly sought-after trafficker had undergone extensive plastic surgery in an attempt to alter his appearance and evade capture, according to authorities, and had allegedly also used acid to remove his fingerprints.
The U.S. had offered $5 million for information leading to his arrest, while the Colombian government offered $2.7 million of its own.
The arrest of one of Colombia's most wanted fugitives was the result of a multinational effort involving the C.I.A., Venezuelan drug police, and British intelligence officials, according to Santos.
Venezuela's justice minister, Tareck El Aissami, tweeted that the bust was "the most important blow" to drug trafficking "that we have made in Venezuela."
"Loco" Barrera was allegedly responsible for a gang capable of sending 10 tons of cocaine a month to the organized Mexican "Sinaloa" cartel, according to the Colombian government. The Sinaloa cartel would then allegedly move the cocaine to the U.S.
"The last of the great capos has fallen," said President Santos in announcing the capture. Barrera was able to escape from authorities, however, after he was arrested for trafficking in 1990.
"The madman" had allegedly retired to a quieter life, and since 2008 had been posing as a cattle rancher under the name of Jose Tomas Lucumi in Venezuela, said Colombia's National Police director Gen. Jose Roberto Leon, at a news conference in Washington.

Child Find Manitoba was incorporated in April 1985 following the disappearance and murder of 13-year-old Candace Derksen. Her mother, Wilma, and a group of dedicated volunteers created the organization to provide the essential services that her family didn't have access to throughout and following Candace's disappearance.
Since then, Child Find Manitoba has grown to provide national intervention, education, and prevention programs. On May 25, 2006, International Missing Children's Day, the organization was renamed the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to more accurately reflect its national role in the protection of children.
The Canadian Centre for Child Protection continued to provide missing children services and volunteer programs in Manitoba through the Child Find Manitoba program until May, 2011.
On May 24, 2011, the Canadian Centre launched MissingKids.ca, a national online resource centre to provide information and support to families and others searching for missing children. Missing children services will now be delivered through the MissingKids.ca program. To learn more about MissingKids.ca please click here.
We are registered as a Canadian charity (BN # 106913637 RR0001). Our organization is funded by the generosity of individuals, companies, organizations and foundations.

Oct. 3, 2012 -- Snake venom painkillers may sound like a hard sell, but a new study suggests it may be the next big thing in pain relievers.
Researchers say certain compounds isolated from the venom of the deadly black mamba snake are actually potent painkillers.
In the study, these compounds produced pain relief as strong as morphine in mice, without the unwanted side effects associated with opioid pain relievers.
It's too early to say whether the same will hold true in humans.
But researchers say the results suggest the snake venom compounds relieve pain by targeting a different pain pathway in the brain. And that could eventually lead to a new generation of pain killers for people.
"It is essential to understand pain better to develop new analgesics," researcher Sylvie Diochot of the Institut de Pharmacologie Mole ´culaire et Cellulaire, in Valbonne, France, and colleagues write in Nature. The black mamba findings, she says, help with both of those goals.
The black mamba snake is Africa's longest venomous snake and grows up to 14 feet in length. Its aggressive nature and lethal venom has given it a reputation as the world's deadliest snake.
Pain Relief From Snake Venom
Previous studies have shown that compounds in snake venom can cause pain by activating what's called specific acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs).
In this study, researchers found that a newly discovered class of compounds in black mamba snake venom called mambalgins can relieve pain by targeting and blocking these channels.
Their experiments in mice show the mambalgins are not toxic and have fewer side effects than traditional pain killers like morphine.
Researchers say their results should lead to a better understanding of pain and introduce natural compounds that may lead to the development of new painkillers.

Electric Choice was the hot topic of the night at a town hall meeting held March 3 by State Rep. Cherelle Parker (D-Phila.) at United Cerebral Palsy of Philadelphia, 102 East Mermaid Lane.
Parker hosted the meeting to give constituents an opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns regarding issues facing the community and learn about various services offered by the state, local and federal government.
The recent deregulation of Pennsylvania's electric market has allowed consumers to shop around for their electric generation supplier. While consumers can save money by switching to another electric generation supplier, the process can be very confusing, and it has opened the door to scams and "slamming," which is the unauthorized change of a service provider.
As of Feb. 25, the Public Utility Commission has received 31 complaints about electric generation suppliers, according to Denise McCracken, acting press secretary for the Public Utility Commission.
These complaints are informal and based solely on the customer's allegation, McCracken said.
"This does not necessarily mean that a slam occurred," she added. "In fact, for many of these, the investigation establishes that it was more of a case of customer confusion, buyer's remorse, etc."
Alex Talmadge, a Philadelphia Electric Company representative said customers should be leery of deals that sound too good to be true.
"No one from PECO will call you or come to your home," Talmadge said.
Talmadge suggests customers ask three key questions when shopping for an electric generation supplier: (1) What is the rate you are giving me? (2) How long is it good for? and (3) Is there a cancellation fee?
PECO is the default service, and PECO's current variable rate is 9.92 cents per kilowatt-hour. This is the price to compare.
"PECO will be your provider regardless of what company you choose," said Talmadge. "This is an opportunity to shop."
Customers currently receiving service from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program can switch energy providers and continue to receive LIHEAP service.
However, customers currently participating in PECO's cap program, who are receiving a discounted rate, should not switch energy providers.
Other local agencies and organizations attending the meeting included representatives from the Office of Housing and Community Development, Better Health Network, PECO, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Philadelphia Water Department, Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (a division of the Philadelphia Streets Department). Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, the Mayor's office of Neighborhood Services and the 14th Police District.
Parker used the opportunity to address Senate Bill 1 and other important issues. Senate Bill 1 would allow low-income families to receive vouchers equal to the amount of per-pupil state aid, which would be about $7,900 per student in Philadelphia. Parents could use the vouchers toward tuition at private or parochial schools.
"I have not made a decision about where I am on school vouchers," she said, adding that "I can't argue with a parent who says that those schools aren't safe."
She did announce that she was against the privatization of liquor stores for two reasons: loss of income and control. Pennsylvania, which is responsible for the oversight of alcohol, receives about $500,000 dollars in revenue from state liquor stores, Parker said.
Parker asked constituents to send their opinions about Senate Bill 1 and other issues to her. The next town meeting will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. March 10, at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, 7301 Germantown Ave.

When I play Master League I play as my local town, St. Helens. To make it more fun, I usually make the kits look like the ones the rugby league team wears. Normally I just use the in-game kit creator to add a red chevron (V) to a white shirt and it's pretty basic. You can see some clips from PES 2017 and see last years kit in this YouTube video. This year I decided to have a go at editing a template and importing the kits that way. The thing with rugby league kits is they have a lot of sponsors, and in the template it's hard to figure out where everything corresponds to in-game. Also, both the home and away shirts have quite complex designs: the home shirt has a V on that continues onto the shoulders, which is hard to align on the template, as you'll see I failed to get it right. Also the away kit has four diagonal stripes and getting the position of those correct proved a lot harder than I expected. After a lot of tweaks and adjustments I finally settled on two finished kits. I'll post some comparison screenshots below:
Here's the home kit in real life:
And here's a screenshot of the kit I made:
Things that could be better are as follows:
The chevron doesn't go over the shoulders correctly
The chevron needs to be shorter, which would allow the placement of the sponsor to be correct. (compare the inside tip of the V to the white box for the sponsor, it's lower in real life)
A lot of sponsors are incorrectly placed or missing:
Totally Wicked upper right shoulder
The placement of the St Helens College logo is far too high, more on the shoulders rather than the chest.
(Kingston Press Cider lower left shoulder and Betfred lower right shoulder where purposely left out, so as not to interfere with the league badges that PES adds to kits)
AFEX on the shorts left leg.
There are also two sponsors on the back (Hattons Solicitors at the top, A*Star Recruitment at the bottom, ESRG on the shorts) which can be seen in this photograph.
All sponsors, including logos required can be found on here: https://www.saintsrlfc.com/commercial/sponsors/
Here is a photo of the away kit in real life:
And here's what I came up with:
I've only just realised the main sponsor is the wrong colour. So that needs to have white text, not black!
The four stripes are very very wrong.
Also some sponsors are missing or incorrect:
Ironically the St Helens College logos are on the chest, but should be on the shoulders. Somehow got them the wrong way around!
Again none of the sponsors on the back are there. They're all the same as the home kit.
Also AFEX logo is missing from the shorts.
For some reason I remembered to put the sponsor on the back of the away socks, but not the home ones, which is really annoying.
For anyone kind enough to take on this request you can see a lot of photographs of both kits by going here and clicking Match Centre on each match, and then Match News and the article with the match report (usually the second one) has lots of photographs at the bottom, like these: Home / Away. Or you can see both kits on the official club store: Home / Away.
And finally here are the two templates I created:
Getting the texture on the away kit was pretty difficult and the result doesn't translate to in game, but I'm not sure how well it comes across in photos anyway. In real life the away kit is like a blue marl effect.
If anyone could take on this request and produce a better looking kit for my Master League team I will be eternally thankful.
Can You Make This Kit Better Than I Have?

text: May 12, 2014 You want to say Hi to the cute girl on the subway. How will she react? Fortunately, I can tell you with some certainty, because she's already sending messages to you. Looking out the window, reading a book, working on a computer, arms folded across chest, body away from you = do not disturb. So, y'know, don't disturb her. Really. Even to say that you like her hair, shoes, or book. A compliment is not always a reason for women to smile and say thank you. You are a threat, remember? You are Schrödinger's Rapist. Don't assume that whatever you have to say will win her over with charm or flattery. Believe what she's signaling, and back off.If you speak, and she responds in a monosyllabic way without looking at you, she's saying, "I don't want to be rude, but please leave me alone." You don't know why. It could be "Please leave me alone because I am trying to memorize Beowulf." It could be "Please leave me alone because you are a scary, scary man with breath like a water buffalo." It could be "Please leave me alone because I am planning my assassination of a major geopolitical figure and I will have to kill you if you are able to recognize me and blow my cover."On the other hand, if she is turned towards you, making eye contact, and she responds in a friendly and talkative manner when you speak to her, you are getting a green light. You can continue the conversation until you start getting signals to back off.The fourth point: If you fail to respect what women say, you label yourself a problem.There's a man with whom I went out on a single date—afternoon coffee, for one hour by the clock—on July 25th. In the two days after the date, he sent me about fifteen e-mails, scolding me for non-responsiveness. I e-mailed him back, saying, "Look, this is a disproportionate response to a single date. You are making me uncomfortable. Do not contact me again." It is now October 7th. Does he still e-mail?Yeah. He does. About every two weeks.This man scores higher on the threat level scale than Man with the Cockroach Tattoos. (Who, after all, is guilty of nothing more than terrifying bad taste.) You see, Mr. E-mail has made it clear that he ignores what I say when he wants something from me. Now, I don't know if he is an actual rapist, and I sincerely hope he's not. But he is certainly Schrödinger's Rapist, and this particular Schrödinger's Rapist has a probability ratio greater than one in sixty. Because a man who ignores a woman's NO in a non-sexual setting is more likely to ignore NO in a sexual setting, as well.So if you speak to a woman who is otherwise occupied, you're sending a subtle message. It is that your desire to interact trumps her right to be left alone. If you pursue a conversation when she's tried to cut it off, you send a message. It is that your desire to speak trumps her right to be left alone. And each of those messages indicates that you believe your desires are a legitimate reason to override her rights.For women, who are watching you very closely to determine how much of a threat you are, this is an important piece of data. — an excerpt from Phaedra Starling's "Schrödinger's Rapist: or a guy's guide to approaching strange women without being maced" (via lostgrrrls) HOLY FUCK THE TRUTH. Can every one of my male followers read this? And please, before you get defensive ("I would never rape anyone!") keep in mind, women being afraid of Shrodinger's Rapists (oh my god i still can't get over the encompassing brilliance of this phrase) is a conditioned, learned response from being immersed in rape culture and the evolution of sexism and sexual violence in our society from the day we're born. And unfortunately, it's very difficult to unlearn without the efforts of all genders to dismantle it. Which is where you come in. (via lil-ith) It's also just rude and disrespectful to patently ignore what someone has told you regarding their personal space, body, and time. Get a clue. (via geekdomme) I will always reblog this. Always. (via myherocomplex) So if you speak to a woman who is otherwise occupied, you're sending a subtle message. It is that your desire to interact trumps her right to be left alone. (via alamaris) Oh my lord, everything in this. (via littlelull) ALL OF THIS. (via field-notes-on-feminism)
