My Grade 8 Bullies Assaulted Me, But I Won't Stay Silent
I was walking down the hall at school after mass, when I felt a hard smack in the back of my head. It wasn't unexpected. Kids had been calling me names like "stupid retard," poking, and threatening me for weeks before it happened. But after it happened I was still in shock. Unfortunately, since I was blindsided, I still have no idea who did it. Nobody who walked down the hall with me that day will speak up and help identify the bully. I'm not going to fight back the way the bullies want me to. Instead, I'm going to speak up and not suffer in silence.

CORRECTION: An article published on A12 of the Friday (Feb. 19) edition of The Kentucky Standard had incorrect information regarding Latosha Shain. Shain was cited and charged during a traffic stop, but was not arrested.
A Thursday afternoon traffic stop ended with the arrest of a Bardstown man and woman after officers found "spice," a form of synthetic marijuana, and other drugs in their vehicle.
According to a press release from the Bardstown Police Department, Officer Kyler Wright and K-9 Zeus conducted a traffic stop on a tan Buick passenger car for excessively tinted windows at around 12:49 p.m.
The driver, Latosha Shain, 30, denied consent to search, and Wright utilized Zeus.
After the K-9 made a positive indication on the vehicle, Wright located a bag of spice in the rear seat.
According to the release, Suboxone, partially burned, hand-rolled spice cigarettes and drug paraphernalia were also found in the vehicle.
A passenger in the car, Ray A. Calbert, had a small plastic bag of cocaine on his person, along with an undetermined amount of cash, which was seized.
Shain was charged with excessive window tint, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of synthetic drugs, failure to maintain insurance and second-degree possession of a controlled substance.
Calbert was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance, and was lodged in the Nelson County Jail.
The investigation is continuing, and anyone with information is asked to call BPD at (502) 348-6811 or Nelson County Dispatch at (502) 348-3211.
Recently, the BPD shared a post on Facebook acknowledging an outpouring of concern about drug trends in the area.
Spice was mentioned in the post, and the department acknowledged that the area does have a spice problem.
"Our officers do encounter spice," the post reads, noting that the Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force, of which BPD is a member agency, seized 3,000 grams of the drug last year, and seized 1,000 grams of the drug in January of this year alone.
To further illustrate the awareness of spice that BPD and other law enforcement are trying to raise, they shared a video of person suffering from the drug's affects in New York.
"We believe in sharing information, working diligently to combat the narcotics plague and combining community efforts with law enforcement to make a positive impact on this issue."

Makers of Modern Asia (English, Hardcover, Ramachandra Guha)
Makers of Modern Asia is a compelling account of the rise of the Asian countries in the 21st century, not only in terms of various economic indicators, but also in terms of their increasing political significance in world affairs.
Summary of the Book
Dr. Guha brings out his scholarly insights yet again in Makers of Modern Asia. He reworks our perception of the contemporary Asia and its role in world's political affairs, based on its political leaders who served to launch what is now augured as the Asian century. The growth of the Asian countries is not only measured based on economic parameters like per capita income, share of global trade or gross national product, but also on the importance of political decisions these countries make that have their effect on a global platform. The book discusses various decisions and struggles that nationalists went through to build the countries of their vision. The list includes Gandhi, Chiang Kai-shek, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Zedong, Jawaharlal Nehru, Zhou Enlai, Sukarno, Deng Xiaoping, Indira Gandhi, Lee Kuan Yew and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
About Ramachandra Guha
Ramachandra Guha is one of the most revered Indian historian and writer. He is well known for his books: India after Gandhi, Makers of Modern India and Gandhi before India. Dr. Guha completed his fellowship at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta and he currently serves as the Sundaraja Visiting Professor in the Humanities at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He is also a columnist for Hindustan Times and The Telegraph. He has been honoured with the prestigious Padma Bhushan and Sahitya Akademi Award among several other recognitions.

We have a Bobcat 2200 (made by Club Car) and the transmission is starting to slip more. It will power out on a hill with loads that used to not be a problem. Is this a sign that the belt is worn and needs to be replaced or could it be something else?

Hello everyone! I hope to be joining the ranks of proud UTV owners in the very near future. I was driving by Wheeling West Virginia the other day and found myself at the massive Cabela's store there. First of all, the wall of guns was amazing. Second of all, when I walked in there was four models of UTV's sitting out front. A four seater (not what I want to buy), and 800cc Sport Model, the Coleman Outfitter UTV , 700 and 500 Model.
They looked well made and after a couple searches on my smartphone I found out they were made by Hisun in China. I then suffered from some mild sticker shock as well. Then a couple of searches later I found this online UTV wholesaler that ships the the exact same unit to your door for several thousand less. I just could not justify spending a couple extra thousand just because it was sitting in front of Cabela's. I placed my order yesterday so I will keep you updated on how my buying experience goes. I plan to use it for riding in the smoky mountain of TN on camping trips.

Season 1:
Starring: Ricky Gervais, Ashley Jensen and Stephen Merchant
Rating: Not Rated
Length: 6 30-minute episodes
IMDB Rating: 8.9/10
Set-Up: Andy Millman, played by Ricky Gervais, is an extra. You know, the people milling around in the background of a movie, never getting any lines, or more than a few seconds of screen time. Still, Andy and his friend Maggie have big dreams to break into actual acting roles. The episodes usually revolve around Andy trying to achieve this dream. Whether it's convincing people that he should get a few lines of dialogue, or trying to sell them on the script for the sitcom he's created.
I'll be honest here, I picked up this show, my first rental from the library of the semester, as the Golden Globes awards reminded me how much I love Ricky Gervais and his trademark brand of humor. Frankly though, the first season is kind of a chore to get through. Gervais or any of the character don't really add anything that we haven't seen before on Entourage, or the little-seen but excellent Party Down. In fact, Andy's attempts to achieve his dreams come off more annoying than anything.
In the episode, "Ben Stiller," Andy befriends/manipulates a man whose life-story is being made into a movie directed by Ben Stiller, into getting speaking role. In previous roles where Gervais has played this same type of character, like in "The Office," he had people in the environment to play off of, or at least would call him on his self-serving antics. Here, it more often than not just feels like he's taking advantage of those not wise enough to call him on said antics. It all just seems a little too self-contained to really be taken as funny. His friend Maggie does get a good sub-plot in an episode where she tries not being overly sensitive on race when she starts dating a mixed-race actor. This type of plot is familiar to the Gervais staple, but it's hilarious all the same.
The saving grace of the season however are the celebrities that cameo in the episode they're named after.. Since Andy is working on an actual movie set, real-life actors are usually around, and they always come into contact with Andy at some point during the episode. Kate Winslet will come around for instance and give advice to the characters on their sex lives. Patrick Stewart will talk about how he's writing a script whose situation's usually involve a topless female. However, Ben Stiller may have the best cameo as the director of a war film he's making because in addition to people watching Dodgeball twenty times in a row due to its funniness, he also wants people to feel something. This Ben Stiller also has a proclivity for inserting the gross of Meet the Parents into a conversation whenever possible. So yeah, it's pretty hilarious.
I will also compliment the show on using a Cat Stevens song as its end credits song. By the end of the first season I had fully memorized Stevens' "Tea For Tillerman."
Season 2:
Starring: Ricky Gervais, Ashley Jensen and Stephen Merchant
Rating: Not Rated
Length: 6 30-minute episodes
IMDB Rating: 8.9/10
Set-Up: Andy Millman, played by Ricky Gervais, has finally sold his sitcom with the help of Patrick Stewart, to the BBC. The show becomes a huge hit, but with it Andy must sell his creative soul as the character he plays in the show resorts to catchphrases and wearing funny wigs to draw comedy.
Ah, what a change of venue can do for your show. Along with the drastic change of settings and circumstances for Andy, the show also figured out a lot of the problems that the show was having. Stephen Merchant is better integrated into the show for example.
But the best change is the large-stage that Andy now finds himself on. Andy's still the jerk he ever was, but now when he's a jerk, the whole world knows about it due to his drastically increased popularity. As such, the sporadic trickle of comedy from the first season now becomes an ever-flowing stream.
Probably the series' best moments come in the form the episode "Daniel Radcliffe." In the episode, Andy complains about a child making too much noise in a fancy restaurant, and when he brushes of the child's mother, the media runs with the story absolutely killing Andy's reputation as the story grows ever more out of control. But of course, the episode ends with Andy inadvertently getting to a fight with dwarf actor Warwick Davis, and knocking him unconscious. Andy got his fame by selling out for a sitcom. But fame just means that everybody in the world knows the mistakes you make. Andy Millman, mostly due to his personality, makes a lot of mistakes. Let the career suicide begin.
I won't spoil it for you, but trust me, it's hilarious.
The celebrity cameos are also somehow funnier. During the season, Andy's friend Maggie somehow becomes attracts the affections of a self-obsessed Orlando Bloom is absolutely baffled when a woman doesn't instantly want to throw herself at him, and a sex-obsessed Daniel Radcliffe, aka Harry Potter. And unlike the previous season whose major star cameos for that episode would only be known in Britain, this season boasts an impressive array of A-list cameos.
If you're wondering, you can essentially skip Season 1 and not miss much plot wise, and jump right into Season 2. In fact, you could watch Season 2 only, and be better off for it.
The Extras Christmas Special:
Starring: Ricky Gervais, Ashley Jensen and Stephen Merchant
Rating: Not Rated
Length: 1 84-minute episode
IMDB Rating: 8.9/10
Set-Up: Andy Millman, played by Ricky Gervais, is more famous than ever due to his show. But he wants more than a character who spews catchphrases and wears silly wigs. So he gets a new agent and leaves his still-popular show determined once and for all to become a respected actor. As suspected, things don't go as planned.
As with "The Office," Extras had two very short seasons, then ended their show. Then of course a year later, they came back with a "Christmas Special" which essentially took a look at the characters a year later to give them more closure. Unlike The Office however, Extras probably should have just left well-enough alone. I mean, the 2nd season won an American Emmy Award for Best Comedy. Season 2 had left the series off in a nice place, but due to audience requests and the like, they brought it back for one last special to wrap the show up.
The Christmas Special isn't interested in laughs as much as it is focusing on Andy's journey to gain respectability. This of course leads into an existentialist look on fame itself, and everything one goes through to achieve it. It's basically the same message the series has been peddling all along, but now there's no laughs to offset it. And if there's no laughs to offset it, you're entirely dependent on the message, then it has to be presented well.
I don't want to go into the details of it, but essentially Andy makes a speech on Big Brother renouncing essentially everything that has made Ricky Gervais a successful actor. And at least in my opinion, it comes off as pretentious. Your opinion will vary on his decision, and the whole special in general, but I didn't care for it.
The Extras Christmas Special:
Overall, Extras is at its best is a hilarious parable about how being at the height of popularity just means that your mistakes have that much farther to fall. At its worst, its a pretentious and unfunny bore done better in a myriad of other places. I would be more than happy to reccomend the 2nd season (2nd series if you're British), and give it 5 Leguizamos. But as/is, it's bookended by a season and a special that I would each give 2 Leguizamos. But since I'm judging the series as a whole, I give it:

From July 31 to August 18, almost 700 students from across the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) have been participating in summer STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) Camp, which focuses on strengthening students' literacy and math skills. Programs are taking place in Alliston, Barrie, Collingwood, Innisfil, Midland and Orillia, as well as at the Education Centre in Midhurst.
This year, summer learning programs are available for:
- Grade 3 and 4 students
- Grade 7, 8 and 9 students
- Special Equipment Amount (SEA) – for students with special needs using assistive devices
Each program (other than SEA) consists of a half day focus on math/numeracy and a half day focus on STEAM or mindfulness activities. SEA is a full-day program that includes training for students on how to use special equipment, and academic activities that they can complete using the new equipment.
Principal of Special Education, Stephen McClelland, has been involved in the summer learning programs for seven years and has witnessed the growth of the program as well as the students.
"The STEAM Camp is meant to support those students who may be struggling with math or literacy. We want to make sure that they receive an opportunity to grow and gain confidence in their skills before entering a new grade level at the start of the school year," he says.
The benefits of the program aren't just for students, but for the schools and staff as well.
"With the STEAM camps and SEA programs, we are well connected to parents and families, as they come in to the school to bring their child, sign the child in and there is a daily interaction between the parent and teacher. Also, host schools get to keep the equipment that is ordered for summer learning programs for use year-round for all students, which is a huge benefit to them," he adds.
At the end of the day, students are able to see their successes more clearly and regularly, as they are only focusing on two to three subjects a day, versus five or six throughout the school year. Class sizes are smaller as well, allowing students more interaction with the teacher.
"Our students have a lot of fun in our summer learning programs," says McClelland. "Everyone is much more relaxed and the teachers get very creative with the programming and activities that students take part in."
Activities include working with robots, drones, computer programming/coding, field trips and outdoor learning opportunities.
Each school hosting the summer learning programs has a childcare facility on site, so parents are able to enrol their children in care after hours and fees will apply (summer learning programs run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Summer learning programs are free for all families.
Are you interested in enrolling your child in summer STEAM Camp next year? Be sure to contact your child's teacher or school principal to inquire. Specific programs for grade levels will be available, along with applications in June 2018.

Can SQ3R Help Students with ADHD?
As we begin the new school year, we wanted to offer information this week that would be helpful throughout the school year to challenged students, especially to those with ADHD. That is why we have written this article about SQ3R, a method of study that has helped many students in all age groups to read and study more effectively and successfully. This method can be especially beneficial to those students in middle school through high school and college. However, can this method called SQ3R help students with ADHD?
Before we answer that question, it will be helpful to understand just what SQ3R is. SQ3R helps a student build a framework to understand a reading assignment and prepare for a test or other assessment. It is a FREE reading and study strategy formed from its letters: Survey! Question! Read! Recite! Review!
1. SURVEY the chapter BEFORE you read it:
• Look at the title, headings, and subheadings.
• Look at captions under pictures, charts, graphs or maps.
• Look at review questions or teacher-made study guides.
• Pay attention to introductory and concluding paragraphs.
• Look at the summary of the section.
2. QUESTION WHILE you are doing the survey:
• Turn the title, headings, and/or subheadings of the section into questions.
• Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading.
• Ask yourself, "What did my instructor say about this chapter or subject
when it was assigned?"
• Ask yourself, "What do I already know about this subject?"
Note: If it is helpful to you, write out these questions for consideration.
This variation is called SQW3R.
3. As you READ:
• Look for answers to the questions you first raised.
• Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides.
• Re-read captions under pictures, graphs, etc.
• Note all the underlined, italicized, bold printed words or phrases.
• Study any graphics (photos, diagrams, etc.)
• Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages.
• Stop and re-read parts which are not clear.
• Read only a section at a time AND recite after each section.
4. RECITE AFTER you read a section:
• Orally ask yourself questions about what you have just read, or summarize, in your own words, what you read
• Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words.
• Underline or highlight important points you've just read.
• Reciting: The more senses you use the more likely you are to remember what you read.
For example: "Triple strength" learning: Seeing, saying, hearing
"Quadruple strength" learning: Seeing, saying, hearing and writing!
5. REVIEW---This is an ongoing process
(Source: Study Guides and Strategies---SQ3R Reading Method http://www.studygs.net/texred2.htm)
The steps involved in the SQ3R method make it an ideal tool to use when attention and memory may be issues for a student. For this reason and others, the SQ3R method may be particularly helpful to students challenged with ADHD because it promotes better understanding and retention of what is read and learned. However, to follow each of these steps, it will take time and patience, two things with which those with ADHD are already challenged. Support from others could go a long way in implementing this method. Parents and teachers as well as tutors and ADD coaches would be doing students a great service by introducing them to this SQ3R method of reading and study as well as providing ongoing support.
Additional SQ3R Resources
Strategic Reading Resource Center---Strategy Toolbox: Combinations---SQ3R
There are several strategies related to questioning. The following sources on this page provide some background on questioning, including the SQ3R Method.
Studying More Effectively
SQ3R helps you think about what you want to get from a document, study it in an appropriate level of detail, and remember information well.

A lawyer holding doubloons and a hard hat. That's how the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans chose to set the staggered term limits for each of its new members.
"We could pick straws, but that wouldn't be right," said Nolan Lambert, the S&WB's special counsel. "We're New Orleans and we need to be unique."
The S&WB welcomed its first new board members Wednesday (June 18) since voters agreed last October to sweeping overhauls of its governing structure. Those changes excised City Council members from the board and created positions for eight mayoral appointments and two more for nominees from the Board of Liquidation, the city's debt manager. The mayor, in this case Mitch Landrieu, continues to serve as the S&WB's president, rounding out its membership to 11.
But in keeping with the new changes, the board had to choose which members would serve one year, two years, three years or four before facing reappointment or having to resign.
With that, Lambert dropped the doubloons, each with a year total on the back, into the hardhat. After the new members drew, the lottery results were:
- One-year terms: Tamika Duplessis and Mark Moody
- Two-year terms: Robin Barnes and Scott Jacobs
- Three-year terms: Kerri Kane and Joseph Peychaud
- Four-year terms: Alan Arnold, Marion Bracy, Ray Manning and Kimberly Thomas.
After this first staggering, all future terms will be four years long to ensure some members overlap transitions from one mayor to the next.
Landrieu also announced his picks for the S&WB's committee assignments. They are:
- Finance: Moody is chair, Jacobs, Kane, Barnes and Manning
- Infrastructure: Kane is chair, Arnold, Thomas, Duplessis and Peychaud
- Operations: Bracy is chair, Moody, Duplessis, Thomas and Jacobs
- Pension: Manning is chair, Bracy, Barnes, Peychaud and Arnold
- Plumbing: Arnold is chair, Barnes, Thomas and Duplessis
- Executive: Manning, Bracy, Moody, Kane and Arnold
Bracy, Kane, Manning and Moody had also served on the previous board. Manning and Arnold are the Board of Liquidation's nominees.
Manning will remain the water board's president pro-tem after Sutchitra Satpathi, the mayor's proxy, nominated him for another term at the helm and the rest of the board agreed.

Taking advantage of my new-found proximity to the Arrochar region, and a visit from my old friend Craig, we set out for an overnight wild camp within the furrow of the three peaks in the area.
Our route took us around the western skirt of The Cobbler, up on top and down to our chosen camp site. The weather was warm and the skies clear – making for some spectacular views, especially as the evening drew in and the clouds raced in from the sea amidst the distant hills to the north.

you dont need to post you know..
Poker is a rly nice game, but I think that game isn't that nice...
AI-Opponents at card games are almost crap, so, without wifi such a game cant be such good...
What do you all think is the best poker game out there for ds? In terms of graphicx, handling, different modi, and so on...?
The 2007 version of this for PSP wasn't bad! I played it some hours and it even made fun so I guess you could give this here a try if you like poker.
Drop the rom file and back away.
This is poor, poor, poor!
The best poker game for the DS so far is the one on Clubhouse games, and that doesn't have tournaments etc.
The opponents have no styles or character, it looks like a poor copy of an online poker site and runs very slowly.
Nothing like the PSP version which is actually very good for a handheld game.
Take it from an avid poker fan
Nothing to do with this, unfortunately, but just wondering - Is there a Download Station Volume 8 to be released soon? It has a demo of Apollo Justice, so I want it
my N-Card crashes everytime i want to see the movies for the events.
to solve this problem: Just skip the movie..
But hey, its poker, you dont need movies for poker!
The game's not bad, but not great
World Champion Poker Deluxe Series on the DS is much better then Clubhouse games selection of Poker type games. In clubhouse games the Texas Hold Em is just a 10 round battle where you are dealed 10 hands, and the one with the most points at the end wins, any Texas Hold Em fan knows 10 hands isnt enough to have a proper game.
With that said obviously Clubhouse games is better as an overall package but if your just buying it for the poker games, W CPS would be the way to go, and is much better then this garbage
I agree with you completely. The hold'em rules in Clubhouse games are strange. But both this ROM and the one you've mentioned are terrible. Even with their extra options, career etc, they're garbage.
now i can do cash games on my ds with my friends
if u have no chips...

Porter refers to mulitple artists. Some of them include:
1) Porter is an independent rock band formed in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Their music has been classified as alternative, indie, and experimental, and is very characteristic due to Juan Son's distinctive feminoid voice and squeals. Lyrics often explore surrealist and space rock themes combining the English and Spanish languages. Since 2013, Porter has a new lead singer: David Velasco and they are working in a new album called: Moctezuma. In 2013 they released a single called Palapa, sample of their new line up...
Porter formed in 2004, and consisted of Juan Carlos Pereda "Mussgo" (who now performs under the name Juan Son), Juan Pablo Vázquez "Chata", Víctor Valverde "Villor", Fernando de la Huerta "Fher" and Diego Rangel "Bacter". At first, Porter was mainly an acoustic project, until vocalist Juan Carlos Pereda joined the line-up soon after the band's formation. In 2013 Porter has a new lead singer: David Velasco.
In 2005, the band issued its first realease, an EP called Donde Los Ponys Pastan, under the independent label 3er Piso. Singles Espiral and Daphne are both from this EP. Porter made it to the semi-finals of an indie rock band contest called "0-Music", with the song No Te Encuentro later that year. Their second release, and only long play album was Atemahawke, this being their most popular and acknowledged album. The only single from this album, Host of a Ghost, received substantial radio and TV play, as well as a music video. Porter achieved notable popularity on Mexican radio during their time together as a band, and played in important music festivals such as Vive Latino and Coachella, as well as opening for bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The Strokes. After a hiatus and various rumors of disbanding, they dissolved after playing the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California in 2008. Former vocalist Juan Son went on to pursue a career as a solo artist.
Since 2013, Porter has a new lead singer: David Velasco and they are working in a new album called: Moctezuma. In 2013 they released a single called Palapa.
2)Porter is also an alternative rock band from Witten, Germany.
3) Porter is also a hip-hop producer from Sweden that has worked with Abstract Rude, Prosperous and Neila, amongst others.
4) Porter is the stage name of one Chris Porter. Porter has been a fixture in the Southeastern music scene for over a decade, fronting bands like Some Dark Holler and The Back Row Baptists. Porter now resides in Austin, Texas. Porter's tunes often tell dark and desperate stories of real american life.
Porter spent his formative years in the music business sharing the songwriting and lead vocal duties in his previous projects, The Back Row Baptists and Some Dark Holler. Upon making the decision to leave the comfort of shared pressure, it took Porter over a year to conceptualize, write, and record his debut solo release, This Red Mountain Read more on Last.fm.

Over the past six months, the frequency of me thinking about social anxiety has slowed down to a stop. Really, I don't even consider myself to have that diagnosis anymore. I still have some problems, but I would say they are on the normal side of the spectrum. I went to a party last month, the guests were mostly people I knew – friends of a friend and her husband. I'd had intermittent contact with them for years, but never really got to know or like them. So, it wasn't a room full of strangers, but somewhat a room full of people who were part of two groups of friends, and a few other guests who knew each other. So, I'm not good at mingling, I have nothing to say, don't know what to ask. I had one real conversation, instigated by one of those people I'd known slightly for years. The rest of the time I tried to busy myself by taking pictures, going for cigarettes, fiddling with the video game system or the stereo. Finally, my meds petered out and I had to rest until the next dose kicked in. I found myself lying on the couch watching the goings-on, and though I felt like a weirdo, I was able to accept the fact that this was necessary. By the end of the night I had probably exchanged at least a few words with 75% of the guests, and hadn't felt like crying or that I needed to go home. This I call a success. This is the only party I hadn't been able to avoid for probably 10 years, but there have been a few other occasions, such as weddings, that required mingling or something, and I can't say I had a blast at any of them. And that is fine for me, as long as I can avoid them in the future.
On the upside, I'm much better at making phone calls, asking strangers the time (or whatever), making small talk with random people. I don't walk down the street feeling everybody's distainful eyes on me. If I do feel some distain, I think, "what's their problem?" I am much more able to just go about my business and i don't think about social situations with apprehension (unless it is a social gathering of many people, not family).
This is only one aspect of my fears, but it was a huge obstacle, a problem that effected everything in my life, so it is a relief to be over it. Of course, I still think it is solely the Effexor, and I will never stop taking it.

Lúcuma is one of the most unusual tropical fruits in South America. It's very popular in the Andean regions where it is cultivated. It has an orange pulp and a distinctive perfume-like flavor that combines well with dulce de leche and chocolate.
If you can't find frozen lucuma pulp in your Latin food market, you might find lucuma powder, which can be added to this ice cream recipe to taste (approximately 1/4 cup). Adding 1/2 cup dulce de leche in place of 1/2 cup of the evaporated milk also makes a delicious variation.
You will need an ice cream maker for this recipe.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup lucuma pulp (frozen, or thawed puree)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipping cream
How to Make It
- Place the evaporated milk in a pot over medium heat and gradually bring to a boil.
- While the evaporated milk is heating to a boil, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until thickened and pale yellow in color.
- When the milk reaches a boil, pour a small amount into the egg yolk mixture while whisking. Add the rest of the hot milk and mix well.
- Return the hot milk, sugar and egg yolk mixture to the pot, and cook over medium-low heat. Cook until mixture starts to thicken and just barely comes to the boil, stirring constantly. Strain into a clean bowl, and place bowl in an ice bath.
- Add the lucuma puree, vanilla and whipping cream and mix well. Chill thoroughly.
- Freeze ice cream according to your ice cream machine directions.

'Lost Kingdom' found in Scotland
Pottery from Africa found in a burnt-out fortress in Galloway hints at a 'lost' Dark Ages kingdom that may even have been born of an alliance between Britons and Picts.
Remarkably, a Pictish carved stone at the fort's entrance shows two entwined symbols which could have been evidence of an alliance between Britons and Picts, possibly through a 'royal' marriage.
A shard of sixth century pottery from Africa also found at the site shows it could only have been home to someone of 'the very highest status', like a King.
The Picts were a savage tribe who lived north of the Firth of Forth - very few Pictish stones have ever been found outside their traditional territory.

Thirty-five years ago in United States v. Choate, the courts ruled that the Postal Service may record "mail cover," i.e., what's written on the outside of an envelope — the addresses of sender and receiver.
The National Security Agency's recording of U.S. phone data does basically that with the telephone. It records who is calling whom — the outside of the envelope, as it were. The content of the conversation, however, is like the letter inside the envelope. It may not be opened without a court order.
The constitutional basis for this is simple: The Fourth Amendment protects against "unreasonable searches and seizures" and there is no reasonable expectation of privacy for what's written on an envelope. It's dropped in a public mailbox, read by workers at the collection center and read once again by the letter carrier. It's already openly been shared, much as your phone records are shared with, recorded by, and (e)mailed back to you by a third party, namely the phone company.
Indeed, in 1979 the Supreme Court (Smith v. Maryland) made the point directly regarding the telephone: The expectation of privacy applies to the content of a call, not its record. There is therefore nothing constitutionally offensive about the newly revealed NSA data-mining program that seeks to identify terrorist networks through telephone-log pattern recognition.
But doesn't the other NSA program — the spooky-sounding James Bond-evoking PRISM — give you the willies? Well, what we know thus far is that PRISM is designed to read the emails of non-U.S. citizens outside the United States. If an al-Qaida operative in Yemen is emailing a potential recruit, it would be follynot
to intercept it.
The problem here is not constitutionality. It's practicality. Legally this is fairly straightforward. But between intent and execution lies a shadow — the human factor, the possibility of abuse.
The real issue is safeguards. We could start by asking how an Edward Snowden, undereducated, newly employed, rootless and grandiose, could have been given such access and power. We need a toughening of both congressional oversight and judicial review, perhaps even some independent outside scrutiny. Plus periodic legislative revision — say, reauthorization every couple of years — in the light of efficacy of the safeguards and the nature of the external threat.
The object is not to abolish these vital programs. It's to fix them.
When caught with his hand on your phone data, however, President Barack Obama offered this defense: "You can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy. We're going to have to make some choices as a society."
So it wasn't such a false choice after all, was it, Mr. President?
Nor does it help that just three weeks ago the president issued a major foreign-policy manifesto whose essential theme was that the war on terror is drawing to a close and its very legal underpinning, the September 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, should be not just reformed but repealed to prevent "keeping America on a perpetual wartime footing."
Now it turns out that Obama's government was simultaneously running a massive, secret anti-terror intelligence operation. But if the tide of war is receding, why this vast, ever expanding NSA dragnet whose only justification is an outside threat — that you assure us is ever receding?
Which is it, Mr. President? Tell it straight. We are a nation of grown-ups. We can make choices. Even one it took you four years to admit is not "false."

5th Annual Stingrays Youth Camp A SuccessAug 6, 2016
The South Carolina Stingrays, proud affiliate of the Washington Capitals, hosted the 5th Annual Stingrays Youth Developmental Hockey Camp this past week at the Carolina Ice Palace. The five-day event was a success, and saw 39 youth players hit the ice.
The camp, which ran August 1-5, featured two on-ice sessions per day for participants, plus off-ice training. Campers gained one-on-one skill development from instructors, plus former Stingrays Head Coach Spencer Carbery, who ran the camp. The event was Carbery's last in the Lowcountry before moving to Saginaw, Michigan for his new position with the Saginaw Spirit he accepted earlier this summer.
"It was a great week and I think the 39 players had a ton of fun," said Carbery. "It's great to see the turnout and some familiar faces that have taken this camp before, or those we we see often at the Coliseum for Stingrays games. The kids worked hard and had a great week. We gave them some pointers and taught them some skills, but most importantly they enjoyed the great game of hockey. For me, being my last camp here after starting this five years ago, it was a total blast."
On the final day of the Stingrays Youth Hockey Camp, participants played in a scrimmage pinning the White Team versus the Red Team for a chance at the coveted Stingray Cup. The White Team came away victorious. A photo gallery of the camp is available at the Stingrays Facebook Page.
The Stingrays' 24th season in the Lowcountry starts on October 22. 2016-17 Season Ticket Packages are on sale now featuring discounted pricing and great benefits! For more information, fans may call the Stingrays' offices at 843.744.2248 or visit StingraysHockey.com.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Seven feet, four years and changes to 15 of the 18 holes at Liberty National later, Tiger Woods finally got some redemption at The Barclays.
It's only Thursday, but that bogey-free 4-under 67 Woods posted after incurring two weather delays and a nearly 11-hour day from start-to-finish had to feel good.
"I played pretty solid today and I gave myself some looks," Woods said. "I didn't play the par 5s well today. … If I can play the par 5s a little better, I would have been higher on the board."
Four years ago, Woods missed a 7-footer for birdie at the 72nd hole to finish runner-up to Heath Slocum on a Liberty National he admonished all week for its unfairly undulating, difficult greens. The powers that be took notice and have since made changes to 15 of the 18 greens.
There were no complaints from Woods about the course Thursday, especially not after two separate storms turned Liberty National into a pin-seeker's paradise.
"It got a bit soft out there and we got a couple mud balls," Woods said. "But you could be so aggressive going into the greens, you didn't have to worry about anything bouncing."
And aggressive he was.
The Barclays: Articles, videos and photos
Woods' opening 67 included hitting 10 of 14 fairways, 13 of 18 greens in regulation and 27 putts. He made putts for birdie from 2 feet (No. 14), 6 feet (No. 15), 5 feet (No. 16) and 10 feet (No. 4). He had a handful of other birdie putts that came this close to dropping.
Woods' round included few misfires, although two hiccups did come on the par-5 13th, Woods' fourth hole of the day. He hit driver for the first time and pulled it left of the cart path on the adjacent hole. He had a clear shot, though, and hit it safely into the fairway before knocking a wedge to 4 feet. It looked as if it would be his first birdie of the day, but Woods missed the short putt, failing to take advantage of his first par 5.
Instead of dwelling on that missed putt, Woods rattled off three consecutive birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 16. It looked like he might make it four in a row when he knocked his approach at the 17th to 22 feet. As Woods and playing partners Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker were walking to the green, the horn blew and inclement weather forced players off the course for the second time Thursday.
When play resumed at 4:15 p.m. ET, Woods two-putted the 22-footer, made par at the 18th and turned in 3 under.
Woods was ho-hum on the back nine save for the 193-yard, par-3 fourth where he stuck it to 10 feet. He then struck his birdie putt pure and sent it into the center of the cup to get to 4 under.
Woods plodded around the rest of his second nine hitting solid shots, getting up-and-down with ease, never dropping a shot. Even a mis-hit tee ball or iron was rectified with a solid up-and-down.
Even on his final hole of the day, the 474-yard, par-4 ninth, Woods managed to save par from his toughest up-and-down of the day. He sent his approach shot left of the green into thick rough on an awkward lie. But he managed to hit it to 6 feet before curling in the par putt.
For a day that spanned nearly 11 hours on an aging, injury-ridden, 37-year-old Woods, he remained patient, poised and perfectly on-point.
For precautionary measures, Woods didn't hit a full shot on the back nine of his pro-am on Wednesday, to make sure his stiff neck and back would be ready for Thursday. He stretched and torqued a few times throughout the opening round, but maintained that any stiffness was due to the stop-and-go nature of the day rather than injury.
'The back was stiff going out on the third restart, but it is what it is,' he said.
Everyone teed off in their opening round but not everyone finished. By nightfall, Woods sat T-7, three strokes off the pace of Kevin Stadler.
The five-time winner this season, and lead candidate for Player of the Year honors, was pleased with his position.
'I'm only three back. I mean, we have a long way to go,' he said.
A long way to go, indeed, but a near-flawless 67 on Thursday went a long way in getting Woods some vindication from four years ago.

Landing down under: People claiming they saw a "house-sized" meteorite slam into Earth and explode with a flash may actually have seen a small space rock streaking through the atmosphere as it burned up, an astronomer said.
Air traffic controllers on duty at Sydney Airport Tower saw a meteorite but did not give details of its size.
Police said several people just south of Sydney reported seeing a huge meteorite whizzing overhead before exploding. The report that it was the size of a house came from one motorist traveling on a highway about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the city.

Until about a week ago Mono's Monitor implementation, which is used for synchronized methods and the lock statement, was comparatively slow. Each Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit called into unmanaged code, which is very inefficient compared to a normal method call. We improved this situation by implementing fast-paths that can be called cheaply and that can handle most cases.
The fast-paths come in two varieties: Portable fast-paths, implemented in CIL code, and native fast-paths, in hand-optimized assembler code. We only have assembler fast-paths for x86 and AMD64, as those are the most-used architectures that Mono runs on.
I did some micro-benchmarking to compare the fast-paths with the old unoptimized implementation. Each of the tests does 100 million calls to synchronized methods. Two of the tests call static methods, the other two non-static ones, and two of the tests call empty non-recursive methods whereas the other two call recursive ones.
Here are the results for my x86 machine (2.16 GHz Core Duo):
The blue bars represent our old implementation. The orange bars stand for the IL fast-paths and the yellow bars for the assembler fast-paths. The green bars represent the run-times for non-synchronized methods.
The results for my AMD64 machine (1.86 GHz Core 2) look quite similar:
To finish things off I also ran the benchmark on Microsoft .NET on my x86 machine. Here is the comparison to Mono with the assembler fastpaths:

'Tis not a god, 'tis thine own heart that speaks.
'Tis through the heart alone they speak to us.
To hear them have I not an equal right?
The raging tempest drowns the still small voice.
This voice no doubt the priestess hears alone.
Before all others should the prince attend it.
Thy sacred office, and ancestral right
To Jove's own table, place thee with the gods
In closer union than an earth-born savage.
Thus must I now the confidence atone
Thyself didst wring from me!
I am a man.
And better 'tis we end this conference.
Hear then my last resolve. Be priestess still
Of the great goddess who selected thee;
And may she pardon me, that I from her,
Unjustly and with secret self-reproach,
Her ancient sacrifice so long withheld.
From olden time no stranger near'd our shore
But fell a victim at her sacred shrine.
But thou, with kind affection (which at times
Seem'd like a gentle daughter's tender love,
At times assum'd to my enraptur'd heart
The modest inclination of a bride),
Didst so inthral me, as with magic bowls,
That I forgot my duty. Thou didst rock
My senses in a dream: I did not hear
My people's murmurs: now they cry aloud,
Ascribing my poor son's untimely death
To this my guilt. No longer for thy sake
Will I oppose the wishes of the crowd,
Who urgently demand the sacrifice.
For mine own sake I ne'er desired it from thee.
Who to the gods ascribe a thirst for blood
Do misconceive their nature, and impute
To them their own inhuman dark desires.
Did not Diana snatch me from the priest,
Holding my service dearer than my death?
'Tis not for us, on reason's shifting
Lightly to guide and construe rites divine.
Perform thy duty; I'll accomplish mine.
Two strangers, whom in caverns of the shore
We found conceal'd, and whose arrival here
Bodes to my realm no good, are in my power.
With them thy goddess may once more resume
Her ancient, pious, long-suspended rites!
I send them here,—thy duty not unknown.
IPHIGENIA (alone)

SPARTA — Herman Cain would call what Brad Keselowski is trying to do at Kentucky Speedway this weekend the 3-3-3 plan.
Three races, three days, expected three-digit temperatures.
When Keselowski decided to drive in all three NASCAR national touring series races at Kentucky he was not factoring in temperatures in the 100s.
"There certainly would have been easier weekends to do that," Keselowski said Thursday. "But you know what, I don't mind the heat. It's never bothered me."
It's a good thing.
Kyle Busch is the only driver in NASCAR history to win races in the Camping World Trucks, Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series at the same track on the same weekend — he did it at Bristol in 2010. Keselowski won't match that this weekend, he finished second Thursday night, but he's still racing in "fry an egg on asphalt" weather.
When Keselowski qualified 17th for Thursday night's UNOH 225 truck race, the air temperature in Sparta was 101 degrees and the on-track temp was 130.
According to weather.com, it will be 101 degrees when Keselowski drives in the Nationwide Feed The Children 300 on Friday. It will again be 101 degrees Saturday when Keselowski pilots the famous Miller Lite Blue Deuce (the No. 2 car) for car owner Roger Penske in the Sprint Cup Quaker State 400.
There are cooling systems inside NASCAR vehicles including "cool boxes" and specialized vests designed to help keep drivers comfortable. Yet those are only so effective. Elliott Sadler, the former Cup regular who is presently atop the Nationwide Series standings, said Thursday he expects to lose "seven, eight pounds" inside his car in Friday night's race because of the heat.
"I would say it will be anywhere between 110 degrees and 130 degrees inside the vehicles," Keselowski said.
In establishing himself as one of the rising stars in NASCAR in recent years, Keselowski, 28, has long since proven he can thrive amid discomfort.
A year ago the second-generation racer from Rochester Hills, Mich., broke an ankle in a testing accident at Road Atlanta; four days later, he won a Cup race at Pocono.
It's not a surprise that he is undaunted by pulling triple duty in triple-digit heat.
"No, it's not a comfortable environment," Keselowski said. "But as a race-car driver, I think you accept the risk of being in a hot environment that is not very friendly."
Last season, it was Keselowski's career arc that was smoking hot. In the Cup Series, he won three times, earned a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the first time and finished a respectable fifth. In 29 Nationwide starts in 2011, Keselowski drove to victory circle five times. One of those came at Kentucky Speedway.
This season, Keselowski has two Cup wins so far, Bristol and Talladega, and he stands 10th in the points. The two victories make it entirely likely he will again qualify for the Chase as a wild card even if he drops from the top 10 in season points.
Kentucky Speedway and its famously bumpy racing surface have long been to Keselowski's liking.
Over four starts in the Nationwide Series, he's never finished below fourth. In last year's inaugural Cup race in Sparta, Keselowski had one of the strongest cars on the track. He led 79 laps before settling for a seventh-place finish.
"The bumps are very difficult to navigate here at Kentucky," he said. "It provides a racetrack that is, by its very nature, it's hard for a driver to be consistent. ... It requires a little more feel, which rewards some of the more talented drivers."
When he decided to pursue "the triple," Kentucky Speedway was a natural choice for Keselowski.
"Kentucky is a place I picked to run the triple-header because I like the racetrack," he said. "And I like the fan support it gets."
Of course, he didn't know he'd be running in Mohave Desert-style heat.
For the non-race car drivers, Kentucky Speedway General Manager Mark Simendinger said the track has brought in extra water, provided some of its employees with umbrellas to shield them from the beating sun and is monitoring conditions to see if the climactic threshold required to activate a local "no-burning" edict in the Speedway campgrounds is met.
Yet the guy with the most taxing schedule of the weekend, Keselowski, says he won't change one thing from his normal dietary or hydration routine just because he's running three NASCAR races in three days in triple-digit heat.
"It's a little bit of a macho-man thing," he said. "Everybody is saying 'I can take the heat better than you can.' I kind of like that challenge."

What is a credit card security code and where is it located?
See all Credit cards FAQs
Last updated 05 February 2014
The card security code also known as Card Verification Value 2 (CVV2) and Card Validation Code 2 (CVC2) is a unique 3 or 4- digit number printed on your Commonwealth Bank credit card. The 4- digit Commonwealth Bank American Express® Card code is located on the front of the card, above the card number on the right hand side. With a MasterCard® or Visa card, the 3- digit number is located in the signature panel on the back of the card.
The 3 or 4 digit code uniquely identifies that a card number quoted to a merchant was obtained from a genuine credit card therefore providing merchants with an increased level of protection against fraud.
Not only should all non-face to face merchants ask customers to provide the 3 or 4 digit code, they are strongly encouraged to do so by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and their Financial institutions. This additional security measure assists merchants reduce fraud loss to their businesses & also minimise the possibility that a card number dishonestly obtained from a customer cannot on its own be used to make a non-face to face transaction.

The Senate Appropriations Committee is holding a hearing today called "Driving Innovation Through Federal Investments" and what impact sequestration and other budget cuts are having on innovation in America.
Manufacturers for years have been the world's leading innovators. We have the most patents and spend the most on research and development than any other industry. The NAM is an aggressive leader on behalf of manufacturers and ensuring their continued ability to innovate.
In many instances, manufacturers will partner with universities and the government on groundbreaking research that is much more difficult to achieve if these types of partnerships did not exist. What we have seen recently is that due to sequestration and across-the-board, indiscriminate budget cuts, the United States is facing an innovation deficit compared to other countries and their investment in innovation. The NAM warned of this potential "brain drain" – the innovation infrastructure, and the men and women behind it, must be constantly nurtured. Otherwise we will see it rust and eventually disappear.
The NAM co-chairs the Task Force on American Innovation, a group of leading corporations, universities, and professional societies supporting public-private partnerships, which weighed in with the Senate Appropriations Committee by submitting testimony for today's hearing. The Task Force and other groups called on Congress to take a sensible approach to our nation's fiscal challenges that allows wise investments in research and education and creates economic and job growth.
America is still the unquestionable leader in manufacturing and innovation. But we are risking that lead if we don't close the innovation deficit.

Chronic back pain, arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis are among the manifestations associated with axial spondyloarthritis, but no two patients are alike. Here, we highlight key presentations of axSpA.
- Chronic back pain is the leading symptom of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Other musculoskeletal manifestations include arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis. Extra-articular manifestations include anterior uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). End-stage patients are recognized by a characteristic stooped posture, sacroiliitis and the presence of syndesmophytes on spine radiographs are characteristic of end-stage patients.
- "axSpA" refers to the whole spectrum of patients with radiographic sacroiliitis (AS or radiographic axSpA) and without radiographic sacroiliitis (non-radiographic axSpA).
- There is still some debate as to whether radiographic and non-radiographic axSpA are two different entities or whether they are associated with a continuous disease spectrum. The current prevailing opinion is that axSpA encompasses one disease spectrum in which patients with nonradiographic axSpA may develop radiographic changes over time. However, not all non-radiographic axSpA patients develop radiographic sacroiliitis. And, not all patients with radiographic sacroiliitis will develop syndesmophytes. The European Medicines Agency proposes to study patients with axSpA as one entity.
- The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) has two sets of treatment recommendations: one for bDMARDs and a second that was established when axSpA was not yet well established.

It was only a matter of time. Gov. Pat Quinn played the "doomsday" card today, outlining billions of dollars in cuts he said would be necessary if lawmakers don't go along with his plan to raise the income tax by 50 percent, the Tribune's Clout Street is reporting.
"It's no fun whatsoever to propose higher taxes on anyone, whether it's families or business, but if we don't do this, if we don't repair our state and get it back in order we will regret it [until] kingdom come," Quinn told the City Club of Chicago.
In his speech and an accompanying letter sent out to interest groups, Quinn warned of deep cuts in health care, education and law enforcement if taxes aren't increased.

Wayne "The Train" Hancock is best described as a truck-stop rocker. He's the guy you'd love to see at some juke-joint or country bar with his band as they take rockabilly, Hank Williams country, blues, honky tonk and some serious swinging'n'twangin' guitar to a crowd ready to dance, drink or dig into their crawfish or grits.
He's got lowdown blues songs, road songs (with pedal steel) and a lonesome ol' road ahead of him.
He doesn't reinvent the perfectly good wheels that took Hank and Chuck Berry out on the highway, but he gets his motor running and under that blue moon he knows it's best to be alone than to be in love, because when you're alone there's no more hurt.
You get the picture.
The road, sin, the man up yonder you need to get right with . . . and so on, with a seasoned band.
Like the sound of this? Then check out this guy? And this.
