Next-Level Robotics.
Using VEX® IQ, this camp offers the NEXT LEVEL of hands-on learning in Advanced Robotics. VEX® IQ allows campers to build complex robots with tons of motors (12 ports!), advanced gears and pulley systems, high-tech sensors, and enhanced controllability. Additionally, VEX® IQ has large, flexible pieces that allow for the construction of large, sophisticated robots.
Not only do VEX® IQ robots have advanced parts, they also make use of both a vertical programing language similar to Scratch, and ROBOTC, the standard for educational robotics and competitions. This gives campers experience using the same programs used by middle school, high school, and even college robotics teams across the country!
With complex parts and a higher level of coding, campers are challenged to utilize strong building skills and truly develop their acuity for mechanics, engineering, and logic.
Some important concepts learned through hands-on experience are force and motion, design and problem solving, mechanical advantage, gear ratios, circumference and arcs, pulley systems, teamwork, and lots more…
Campers are divided into teams and complete numerous projects within our curriculum each week. Some robots campers can build include the Clawbot IQ, Armbot IQ, V-Rex, Ike, Linq, Slick, Allie, Stretch, Kiwi Drive Bot, Quadrupled, and Speed Build Bot. Campers utilize their robots to complete assigned challenges, and compete in a camp-held Robotics Tournament at the end of each week! Teamwork and collaboration are strongly emphasized at camp!
For the many campers who participate in our Robotics with EV3 Camp (ages 6 to 12), Robotics with VEX® IQ is the next step in learning Robotics!
VEX® has taken over as the standard for middle and high school robotics competitions. At this camp, you will learn to build, program, and control the kinds of robots that are used at middle and high school competitions.
Put science, technology, engineering, and math to practical use in building, programming, and problem-solving cool robots! See how the concepts you've learned in the classroom (and new ones you will learn at camp) can change how fast and efficiently a robot runs, and have a blast doing it!
Robots are built in teams at all levels from elementary to high school to tech companies. Our camp is no exception, and learning to work together, divide tasks, plan, and communicate is key to success in Robotics with VEX® IQ. Bring your ideas for a cool team name to camp!
There is just no substitute for building a robot yourself and learning how to problem-solve, debug, and experiment with new ideas with a real robot and real results.
Your week at Robotics Camp will build up to ROBOWARS on Friday afternoon, where you will compete with the other teams in events like programming tasks, navigating obstacle courses, moving or collecting items, and of course battling against other robots in an arena!

So many of our campers are passionate about the specialty programs they are participating in and want to improve and develop the skills taught throughout camp. Private lessons are a great way to do this!
Private lessons are offered at many of our specialty day camps. You may book an AM lesson from 8:00am to 8:45am or PM lesson from 3:45pm to 4:30pm.
If your child is registered for a private lesson before camp, early arrival coverage is included in the cost of the private lesson on that day.

One-on-one private instruction is an excellent way for our campers to learn at their own pace, gain a better understanding and mastery of the skills and subject material, and enhance your child's experience at camp. Our instructors are friendly and supportive and they understand that every camper learns at his or her own pace. Our private lessons are designed to be hands-on and very focused, which enables the instructor and camper to concentrate on improving both strengths and weaknesses. Lessons are tailored to the specific camper, and in some instances, campers may use the private lessons to go above and beyond the camp curriculum in an educational and informative manner with the help of the instructor. Private lessons are optional, and are within the subject matter of the camp your child is attending that week.
Don't miss out on reserving a private lesson, as they are limited and are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis! Campers have the option to purchase more than one private lesson per week, and each lesson builds upon the progress made at camp and in previous lessons.
In addition to being a great supplement to the camp week, private lessons are convenient! Lessons occur at the camper's location either before camp (during Early Arrival) or after camp (during Extended Day).
Private lessons can be booked during online registration, or by contacting our office via email at [email protected]. If you already registered online and want to add lessons, you can log back into your account and add them to your camp registration.
*The purchase of private lessons is considered camp tuition and falls under the terms & conditions provided on www.lavnercamps.com.
Our camp families ask us many great questions about our summer camps. Below are a list of 10 questions that are frequently asked. If you have a question that is not listed, please send it our way!
Question #1: Are your camps accredited?
Answer: Yes, we are accredited by the American Camp Association in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and carry our practices to other states. The American Camp Association provides a guideline of hundreds of standards, and conducts site visits for re-accreditation. While it is a lot of work to become and remain accredited, our commitment shows the dedication that we have to providing a safe and healthy environment for our campers, and our overall commitment to excellence and your child!
Question #2: What are your staff to camper ratios?
Answer: Typically our ratios are 1 staff member to 8 campers…or better! We invest in great staff and low ratios to ensure the best camp experience for your child, which is what counts the most!
Question #3: Who are your instructors?
Answer: Our instructors are high level and are the very best out of a large pool of qualified applicants we consider. Each year, we hire less than 5% of applicants. Typically, our lead instructors consist of teachers, college professors, undergrad/grad students from excellent colleges/universities, and the occasional superstar student entering college in the fall. Assistant instructors typically consist of accomplished rising seniors. Our instructors are knowledgeable in the subject area, passionate about working with kids, highly responsible, and have cleared background checks. Instructors go through a rigorous orientation and training prior to the summer camp season and have constant support from onsite camp directors and our central office. We put them in a position to succeed…and they do!
Question #4: Do you have an on-site camp director?
Answer: Yes! Many of our on-site directors are full-time teachers during the school year. Our on-site camp directors manage each camp location. They are trained to make sure that daily operations at camp are running smoothly, and are also CPR and First Aid certified. Camp directors are available on site to answer your questions, and are available by phone and email if you need to communicate with them during the day. Our central office also employs regional directors who visit camp locations to help ensure a high quality camp environment!
Question #5: Do campers usually attend for one week or more than one week?
Answer: Camper attendance varies. Most campers attend for multiple weeks, either in the same camp or in a variety of camps. All of our camps have multiple levels of curriculum and lots of additional activities and projects for all skill levels.
Question #6: How do you group the campers at camp?
Answer: Campers are grouped by age and ability. We run multiple levels of curriculum in each camp, allowing for campers to attend camp with us at any time during the summer, even if they are beginners. Our campers can sign up for any week and be placed appropriately in camp. This provides our camp families with maximum flexibility.
Question #7: Do your campers improve at camp?
Answer: Yes! Campers receive approximately 22.5-25 hours of concentrated time in their camp activity per week. This, combined with our cutting-edge curriculum and high level instructors, allows our campers to improve a lot! Camper improvement is the cornerstone of our Specialty Camps and is what allows us to be successful!
Question #8: How do you keep camp fun?
Answer: We hire fun and dynamic instructors, and focus on creating an awesome camp culture! Campers are also attending a specialty camp of their choice, so they already want to be there! We incorporate a number of breaks during the day with opportunities for recreation and socialization. On Fridays, there is typically a grand finale/showcase that campers work towards – e.g. Bake Off, ROBOWARS Tournament, Tennis Olympics, Fashion Show, Beta Testing Projects. We receive tons of emails from happy parents…our campers truly love camp!

ESPN 'Hires' The Rolling Stones As House Band For 'Monday Night Football'
By Barry Janoff
September 6, 2012: ESPN, the self-proclaimed "worldwide leader in sports," is getting its ya-ya's out with the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, the Rolling Stones, to support the legendary group's 50th anniversary greatest hits release, GRRR!
ESPN said it has licensed 16 Rolling Stones classics to use during its Monday Night Football pre-game show, on bumpers and teases within the Monday Night Football game and in post-Monday Night Football game highlight segments on SportsCenter.
The alliance, being presented under a "Legend to Legend" umbrella, includes an animated intro that mashes up elements of the SportsCenter introduction and an updated version of the classic Rolling Stones' red tongue and lips image.
The image was created by artist John Pasche to appear on the cover of 1971's Sticky Fingers LP. It was modernized this year by artist Shepard Fairey in conjunction with the band's 50th anniversary tour and activations.
The Rolling Stones elements will debut Sept. 10 on Monday Night Countdown prior to the 43rd season of Monday Night Football. The first night is a double-header, beginning with the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens followed by San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders. Monday Night Football airs throughout ESPN's 16-week NFL schedule, which concludes on Dec. 22.
ESPN said that four different songs will be selected per month and will be used for four weeks at a time on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown pre-game show. They span the 1972 release of Exile on Main St. through the 2005 release, A Bigger Bang. Songs will include "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll", "Hot Stuff" and "One Hit (To the Body)."
The Rolling Stones are not new to American sports, having performed at the Super Bowl XL halftime show in Detroit in 2006. That game aired on ABC, which is a sibling to ESPN in the Disney Co.
GRRR! is scheduled for release in North America on Nov. 13. The group is scheduled to play four concerts this year before embarking on a longer tour in 2013: two in the O2 Arena in London (Nov. 26-27) and two in the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn (Dec. 6-7).
"We're very proud that the Rolling Stones chose ESPN's Monday Night Football to play a major role in their 50th Anniversary celebration," Bob Toms, ESPN vp-production enhancements and the man who oversees the ESPN music department, said in a statement. "Sports and music fans alike will enjoy the combination of these two pop culture legends – the most successful prime time sports series in the history of television and the world's greatest rock and roll band to supply music for our season-long soundtrack."

Sebastian Vettel closed in on his second drivers' championship with victory at the Italian Grand Prix as team-mate Mark Webber failed to finish.
Jenson Button was second and Fernando Alonso third, while Lewis Hamilton's race was compromised by a long scrap with Michael Schumacher, who finished fifth. Felipe Massa came home sixth ahead of Jaime Alguersuari - who started 18th - with Paul di Resta, Bruno Senna and Sebastien Buemi rounding out the points-paying positions.
At the start Alonso got the jump from fourth to dive down the inside with a move reminiscent of his first corner heroics at the Spanish Grand Prix, while Hamilton had to yield to Vettel and Schumacher picked his way through to fourth.
A big crash caused by Tonio Liuzzi brought the safety car out after he lost control and slid across the grass towards turn one, sideswiping Vitaly Petrov and Nico Rosberg. Rubens Barrichello was also caught up in the incident but was able to continue.
Schumacher managed to pass Hamilton on the restart and proceeded to defend vigorously for a number of laps, allowing Button to close up. After a tit-for-tat scrap, which saw Schumacher stray close to breaching the rules by moving twice on the straights, Hamilton saw his chance heading into the Curve Grande on lap 16 but was squeezed onto the grass. He lost momentum as a result and Button eased past before going round the outside of Schumacher at Ascari later in the lap.
Hamilton eventually found a way past Schumacher as the Mercedes' tyres started to fade and from that point onwards attempted to get his race back on track. Towards the end of the race he targeted Alonso in third, and got close to the Ferrari's gearbox, but ran out of laps, crossing the line just 0.5s behind.
Schumacher settled for a comfortable fifth place ahead of Massa, whose race was ruined when Webber attempted to pass him on lap four. The Red Bull driver made a move around the outside of turn one but found himself clattering over the kerbs and then speared into the side of Massa. The Ferrari was pitched into a spin and dropped to tenth as Webber attempted to get back to the pits. But as the Red Bull entered Parabolica its front wing folded underneath the wheels and Webber lost the ability to brake, ending his race in the barrier.
Alguersuari made up the most positions of any driver on the grid, taking seven places through the first corner pandemonium and then working a two-stop strategy to perfection to finish seventh. Di Resta also had a strong race in eighth but came under pressure from Senna in the closing stages. Senna made an early pit stop after the first corner chaos but got his medium tyre stint out of the way which gave him an advantage on the soft tyres to pass Buemi towards the end.
Vettel, however, was imperious and crossed the line with a 9.5s margin to Button. The win means he now has a 112 point lead in the championship and could theoretically seal the title at Singapore in two weeks time.

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Welcome to HaleyBook.com the official website of my book, What Though the Odds Haley Scott's Journey of Faith and Triumph. Inside you will find additional information about my life, my book and the inspiring story it tells. Thank you for sharing this journey with me!
When Dick Rosenthal retired as athletic director in 1995 after a lifetime of service to the University of Notre Dame, he was asked about the most memorable moment during his tenure. Without hesitation, the chief of sports at America's most storied university replied, "Haley Scott." When the Notre Dame women's swim team suffered a fatal bus crash, the lives of those on the bus, their families, and the community were changed forever. Paralyzed after the accident, Haley Scott was told she would never walk again. That was unacceptable to her. With the help of those who cared most about her - her family, her school and her teammates - she chose a different fate and promised not only to walk, but to swim again for the Fighting Irish.
I am Haley Scott and this is my story. It is the story of a young girl who fights for her life, and then for her dreams, and then for her life's happiness. It is the story of family - both the one to whom I was born, and the one created around me as I faced my life's greatest challenge. It is the story of my faith, which was undefined at the start, but has come bursting out stronger because it was so tested. It is a story that has already touched the lives of those whom I have met, and a story I look forward to sharing with you. Read my bio...

The Unionist Tory/Labour/LibDem Coalition against the independence of Scotland when accused by the SNP of scaremongering and debasing the great debate, respond by saying they are raising legitimate points.
Here are some of them –
Claims by Lord Fraser, the former Tory Solicitor General, that England could have no choice but to bomb Scottish airports in order to defend itself from attack if Scotland became independent.
Claims by Tory Education Secretary Michael Gove that an independent Scotland would no longer have a National Health Service.
Claims by Home Secretary Theresa May that passport checks would be issued at Scotland's border with England.
Questions published by the Westminster Scottish Affairs Committee querying if people could still buy wine from The Sunday Times Wine Club or whether the school curriculum would include 'English'?
Claims that the Westminster Government would seize custody of the giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo post-independence.
I hope that any Scottish voter listening to this nonsense gave a loud horselaugh. Only Iain Davidson's Scottish Affairs Select Committee could have come up with the Sunday Times wine club one. (They're currently considering Scotland's defence, God help us all!)
Picking up on the last one – could someone on the NO Campaign "seize custody" of its spokespersons' common sense before they debase this vital debate any further? It's a difficult choice, but faced with either Alistair Darling boring us to death or the ********* who came up with the above rubbish making us laugh ourselves to death, I must, in the interest of the dignity of the great debate, resign myself to being bored to death.
I asked a question on Twitter yesterday – I ask it again here.
What do people of other countries think of prominent Scots who argue against the independence of their nation?
I also now ask the supplementary question -
What will Scotland think of them after independence is achieved?
If I turn the questions around, as in fairness I must, we must ask -
What do people of other countries think of prominent Scots who argue for the independence of their nation?
What will Scotland think of them if independence is not achieved?
I think I know the answers, but those in this great debate must find their own.
There is much talk again today of dual identity, i.e. "I'm Scottish and I'm British" (and they don't mean geographically resident in the British Isles – they mean the UK.)
I have no problem with dual citizenship of two different, independent countries, nor with a shared sense of values and common purpose with other independent countries. But when it comes to country – and the independent state either achieved or aspired to across the globe, there can be only one identity.
We are not far away from the 4th of July, Independence Day in America. Remember what America secured its independence from – the British Empire, the rump of which is the present United Kingdom, clinging desperately to what it has left of that empire. I'm certain there were politicians – and ordinary people - in America before independence who claimed a dual identity, and who claimed to feel at ease as both Americans and subjects of the British Empire.
What I'm equally certain of is that no American would make such a claim today. They will happily celebrate their country of origin – as Scots, as English, as Welsh, as Irish, as indeed every country of the world that sent its people to the great melting pot – but their identity, their loyalty, and their heart is American.
I acknowledge and celebrate my Irish roots, I acknowledge and celebrate my shared history and cultural affinity with England and Wales, but my identity is Scottish, my loyalty is to Scotland, and my heart is Scottish. And when people talk of dual identity, the words of a great Englishman, Frances Bacon, in another context come to mind - "a heart that is double and cloven, and not entire"

WASHINGTON — The top prize in the Powerball lottery will reach a record $425 million after no one won Saturday's drawing, a lottery official said yesterday.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said the jackpot was $325 million for the drawing late on Saturday.
Powerball has not had a winner for two months.
The $425 million record jackpot could be raised before Wednesday's drawing since big payouts tend to spur sales, Neubauer said.
"We'll watch sales to see if an adjustment upwards needs to be made," she said. The cash payout will be a record $278.3 million.
The previous top Powerball prize was $365 million, won in 2006 by ConAgra slaughterhouse workers in Nebraska. The Powerball lottery is held in 42 states, the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands.
In March, three winning tickets shared the largest US lottery jackpot, the $656 million Mega Millions drawing. (Reuters)

On your advice, I modified (to your specs) a pair of (men's) wool trousers that had been comfortable to bike in to. I may never use them except on a Tweed Ride, but I'd ripped the cuff by getting it caught in my chain. Now, I need tall socks.ReplyDelete

Inward and Upward!
The US has a penchant for invention, especially when it comes to sports. Need something to fill up your leisure time? Let's go throw a ball into a peach basket! In between wars but feeling the need to crush something? Let's inflate a pigskin and then crash into each other! Upset that America doesn't have a game quite as confusing as cricket? Let's grab a bat and ball and then invent the infield fly rule! We enjoy the intersection of skill and chance that sporting endeavors provide but at the same time we're oddly inwardly focused.
Take soccer for instance. Most of the world is absolutely insane over soccer but we prefer watching cars drive in circles for hours on end. We don't dislike soccer for being soccer. We dislike soccer for not being ours. Nascar and Indy, though? That's all us.
So it makes sense that as the Euro and world markets fall apart, we tend to focus on the issues that go no further than our shores. Even the problems of our neighbors, like Mexico's burgeoning civil war, are seen as "their" problems. Not ours.
Unlike soccer, though, external financial problems do affect us. Americans don't consume like they did through the 90's and the early 2000's so if manufacturers want to continue selling their goods and hiring employees to make those goods, they need a market. Europe is a big part of that market but, well, I'll leave it to this guy to explain:
I'm not saying we're all screwed. I'm not saying we're all going to die. But I'm also not saying where I buried my gold.

St. Norbert Wins Grinder at Lawrence
From Sports Information Director, October 19, 2013 | Football
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
APPLETON - St. Norbert College remained unbeaten in the Midwest Conference with a 17-6 win over Lawrence University at Banta Bowl. The game was a conference contest for the Green Knights (6-1, 6-0 MWC), while it was a non-conference game for the Vikings (0-6).
Lawrence, which lost 79-7 to St. Norbert in De Pere last season, took a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter. Dalton Sendelbach scored on a 1-yard run with 13:09 left before halftime to finish off a 41-yard drive.
Both teams traded punts before St. Norbert pulled ahead. Three Brandon Carter runs to open the drive set up a 41-yard touchdown pass from James Tringali to Brian Fliess with 5:09 left in the second quarter.
The Green Knights scored on the opening possession of the second half. St. Norbert gained four first downs before scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run by Zach Broberg, which was set up by a Lawrence pass interference penalty, to lead 14-6 with 11:01 left in the quarter.
Lawrence would get no deeper penetration than the St. Norbert 38-yard line before the Green Knights sealed the win with a Randy Hill 30-yard field goal with 2:22 remaining.
St. Norbert outgained Lawrence 319-268. Broberg rushed for 86 yards on 19 carries and one touchdown. Tringali completed 13 of 27 passes for 177 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Brian Fliess caught six passes for 103 yards and one touchdown.
Luke Barthelmess led Lawrence offensively by completed 16 of 26 passes for 190 yards. He also had a team-high 21 yards rushing on 11 carries. Dan Dubnicka caught seven passes for 110 yards.

No. "Excelling" is not the proper form. "Excels" works.
English Teacher
Is the following sentence acceptable?
I was fascinated by its magnificent appearance, whose wonderful workmanship excelling nature.
No. "Excelling" is not the proper form. "Excels" works.
It's ungrammatical.
Change 'excelling' to 'excels' or 'excelled' and it would be better, though still odd.
What is 'it'?
My guess is this thread is linked to the one mentioning the world's largest train station. So "it" is (if I'm right), the train station.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 17 (UPI) -- "Star Wars" actor Richard LeParmentier has died in Austin, Texas, his family said. He was 66.
The Pittsburgh native is best known for portraying Admiral Motti, the Imperial officer Darth Vader choked for doubting the power of the Force, in "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope." He also played roles in the films "Octopussy," "Superman II" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
EW.com said LeParmentier died suddenly Tuesday while visiting family, however, the cause of his death was not immediately disclosed.
"Every time we find someone's lack of faith disturbing, we'll think of him," his children said in a statement.
"At age 66, Richard Le Parmentier is one with the Force. We're deeply grateful to the many devoted fans who have posted personal remembrances of our dad as a warm, genuine person with an unparalleled joie de vivre and gift for friendship (not to mention a mean petanque player,)" the statement said. "To his fans and friends, his lines were the ultimate power in the universe. He absolutely loved traveling the world and meeting his friends and fellow 'Star Wars' fans -- whose tributes have given us all the best lines in this message. He told us many stories of the hospitality he enjoyed. He usually lived in Bath, England, but was visiting us in Austin, Texas. We feel very lucky to have been able to spend time with him on a regular basis. He was no respecter of convention, except comic conventions. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Richard was a talented actor and director whose career spanned four decades and dozens of projects. He edited another draft of his latest project two days before death, with its sorcerer's ways, took him from us. He has gone to the stars, and he will be missed. We love you dad, and thank you to everyone. Love, Rhiannon, Stephanie, and Tyrone Le Parmentier."

These are the tales, the freaky tales...
These are the tales that I tell so well...
I met this girl, her name was Joan
She loved the way I rocked on the microphone
When I met Joan, I took her home
She was just like a doggy all on my bone
I met another girl, her name was Ann
All she wanted was to freak with a man
When I met Ann, I shook her hand
We ended up freakin' by a garbage can
The next young freak I met was Red
I took her to the house and she gave me head
She likes to freak is all she said
We jumped in the sheets and we broke my bed
There's another girl, her name is Mary
Talk about sex and the girl acts scary
I heard she was freakin' from my homeboy Jerry
Took her to the house and I popped that cherry
Young and tender, sweet Denise
Get her in the bed and the girl's a beast
I tell you, homeboy, if you get a piece
She'll only start talking about signing a lease
I met this tender, her name was Lori
An X-rated movie wouldn't tell her story
She had a twin sister, her name was Lisa
And just like Lori, she's a real dick pleaser
My girlfriend's name was Michelle
Her booty was bigger than a tail on a whale
When I freaked Michelle, I freaked her well
Her pussy got hotter than the flames in hell
I G'd this girl, her name is Tammy
I didn't wanna do it 'cause the bitch was flammy
She had a best friend, her name was Jane
I pulled her to the side and I spit that game
I met a lot of freaks in my lifespan
Freaked one night with a girl named Pam
The very next day I saw her with her man
One week passed and I was in her again
I had an old tender, her name's Janine
She was 32 and I was only eighteen
She likes to freak, she's just a fiend
It really didn't matter when I saw her in jeans
I want a big freak, fat and sloppy
I kick on back and I watch her mop me
Two tons of fun, big Mamma Jamma
A country-girl from Alabama
I met this freak, her name was Beth
Her pussy got wet and it smelled like death
I was tired as hell, I was drippin' sweat
But I was all up in her trying to hold my breath
Bake and shake us, I met this freak in Vegas
She said her name was Dinah
She was a built little freak from China
I said I don't pimp or gigolo
I'm having so much money that I don't need a hoe
You can break yourself but you can't break me
You never met a player like $hort, baby
I knew a dick sucker named Betty-Jo
Took her to my house and we did it on the floor
The girl got freaky and I'll tell you more
She was down on her knees begging to blow
She's like another freak named Renée
You get her alone and she'll make your day
Like Burger King, she knows the play
But a freak like Renée, you can have it your way...
[Chorus x2]
I met this girl, thick as hell
Only sixteen, said her name was Linell
I took her to my house, I could not wait
Her shit was much tighter than a Century Safe
Let me tell you this since we're talking young
I met another girl, said her name was Yvonne
Always talking about having fun
Once again at the pad I had it going on
I'm Sir Too $hort, couldn't be no punk
I'm trying to get funky like "Female Funk"
So when you see me coming or see me going
I keep my money, let the hoes keep hoeing
I once met a hooker, she did it for free
On the Foothill bus number forty-three
All the way in the back she was working me
Had my big beatbox and I was jamming the beat
I met this freak named Antoinette
Macked on baby like an ice cold vet
Everything she had is what I get
'Cause I'm Too $hort, baby, I don't play that shit
I met another freak, her name was Rita
Baby thought that Too $hort just might eat her
I told her like this, she could suck my peter
Or either go home 'cause I knew I didn't need her
Scratched her name out my telephone book
Never again took a second look
'Cause the next young freak, her name was Sharon
She kept looking while I kept staring
Baby came through with my homeboy Darren
Her booty was stuffed in the jeans she was wearing
She never left, he cut out
I know you all know what I'm talking about
There's a freak named Shannon, such a sinner
She smokes that pipe and she's getting thinner
Shannon is cool but her mind is gone
One fat rock and it's going on
She had another buddy, came by my place
Thick ass bitch, said her name was Grace
She walked in the door working lace
You shoulda seen that look that was on my face
She's like this tender named Belinda
The homeboys called her 'Belinda the Blender'
She gave head like she made it up
She was twenty years old with a big round butt
Had a girl looked like Olive Oyl
Her father was rich and the girl was spoiled
When she got mad, her blood would boil
But I wrapped her all up like aluminum foil
[Chorus x2]
Sugar Delight
Friday night
It's going on
Too $hort
Three weeks ago, I met this freak
She followed me around like Mary's sheep
I hid around the corner and when she came
I grabbed her by the arm and I asked her name
She said it was Anita
Her man's in Santa Rita
I took her to my house and homeboy, I G'd her
Sent her on her way
The very next day, Playboy $hort was ready to play
I bumped into this girl, her name's Roshawn
We hit the motel and had it going on
Holiday Inn to the break of dawn
When I took baby home, I freaked her mom
I knew this tender named Shari
I took her to the house and let her freak on me
Baby was a fan, she loved my beat
But I wouldn't raise my leg and let her kiss my feet
I met this freak named Yolanda
Rolled baby doll like a brand new Honda
I was on top, she was up under
The bed hit the wall and it sounded like thunder
I once had a date with a girl named Kitty
She was so fine with her big fat titties
All night long she was acting shitty
So I macked on baby like I was Frank Nitti
There's another girl, her name is Rose
I use to ride baby like brand new Vogues
I never saw Rose wearing clothes
She's a Penthouse pet, ready to pose
I was riding down the street when I met Janet
Her booty was bigger than the whole damn planet
Ass everywhere, I just can't stand it
Tried to palm it but I could not manage
I had this freak, her name was Bunny
Said I'm the only man who ever called her honey
Everything I did to her was funny
I macked on Bunny and I took her money
Eight, tonight, a date, with Shirley
She was real short and her hair was curly
If you saw baby you liked this girlie
She was so fine I went to get her early
Shirley was freaking like a girl named Rachel
Her bite was vicious and it sure was fatal
She liked to kiss all on my navel
Those are her lips on top of my label
I knew another freak, her name was Candy
Real big lips and they came in handy
I smooth got worked and it was so dandy
I hooked the broad up with my homeboy Randy
He did me a favor in return
Gave me a lizard, said her name was Laverne
Baby got tossed, then I got on
I grabbed the microphone and started singing my song
My young homeboy heard me rap
And said he had way more freaks than that
So I told him like this, they might be freaking
But, boy, you never had that T-P-Treatment...
"Freaky Tales" is often considered Too Short's real breakout hit, released in 1987, in his first full major album release.
Freaky Tales is perhaps one of the most important songs in West Coast hip hop. The instrumental showed how the West Coast was beginning to develop a more distinct sound away from the East Coast. It was also the first "dirty" rap song to be released and gain mainstream attention in the United States, during a time when cussing even in rap was a no-no. It also marked the beginning of Too Short's dirty rap image as well.
Incidentally, Too Short had said that the song was originally meant to be a parody of the pimping industry itself, and none of it was meant to be taken seriously.
In a 2012 interview with Complex, Too Short spoke about the creation of the song:
That was the song that put me on the map. That was a song that I wrote when I was in high school. I had a song about these hoes and I said, 'I got 16 hoes sucking ten toes.' I was like in 11th grade at the time, so people would be laughing when I said this shit. So I went back and wrote the song called 'Freaky Tales' and told the story about the 16 hoes.
Later in life, when I first started recording professionally, I was working with a label called 75 Girls and I wrote the same concept, the same 'Freaky Tales' song, I wrote it over and it actually tells the story about these 75 girls.
Then later on when I started my own label, Dangerous Music, that's when I made the 'Freaky Tales' everyone knows. I kinda narrowed it down to about 40-something chicks. You know the 75 girls version is real, like, boring at certain points. So I narrowed it down to just the good parts and that's the song everyone knows.

Rise to the Occasion: ED 101 From hims
Men's wellness brand hims offers easy access to ED information and treatment. Here's what you need to know.
Men's wellness brand hims is rising to the occasion. Literally. Created by founder Andrew Dudum, the online and mobile platform dispels myths about erectile dysfunction and offers sensible, easy-to-understand insights and treatment options for a condition that affects a staggering number of men.
No longer in the shadows, hims proudly puts ED front and center as part of a holistic approach to men's health and well being.
EDGE had the opportunity to chat with hims medical ambassador, Dr. Ho Anh to address specific symptoms, possible underlying medical conditions, and treatment options.
Can you clarify the symptoms of erectile dysfunction versus just having an "off" night?
The biggest factors to consider is the onset of the ED (gradual over the course of months to years) versus sudden (over the course of days-months). The latter of which would be closer to having an "off" night, which can be caused by excessive alcohol use or psychological disturbances, such as depression or stress.
Most men aren't aware that there might be serious underlying risk factors that contribute to ED. Can you address some of the most prominent signs and what actions men might consider taking to help remedy the causes of ED?
ED can be caused by a number of different things. Depression, stress, physical deconditioning, low testosterone are to name a few as they are some of the more common ones.
The absolute best thing to do is to keep tabs on your health by following up with your primary care physician. He or she would be able to perform the necessary evaluation and testing done to determine what it is that is causing and would, therefore, be able to manage those various causes most effectively.
hims' online shop offers sildenafil (Viagra) as a means to address ED. How does it work and what are the key factors that potential users should know about using it?
Sildenafil works by opening up some of the blood vessels in the penis allowing it to engorge more fully. It takes about one hour to begin seeing the effects and it can last as long as three to five hours, which may also depend on the level of sexual stimulation (mentally and physically).
The most common side effects can be dizziness and headaches. Why? Because it works by opening up blood vessels down there, there may not be enough blood flow going to other areas of your body, such as your head. That's why it's very important that you consult a doctor before taking it and inform him/her of any and all medicines that you take.
Can you explain the "half-life" of ED medication?
It's basically a measurement of the time it takes for the body to remove a given concentration of a chemical in the body by half. For example, if you take Sildenafil now it would take an hour to absorb - then your body will start metabolizing it and in four hours just half of that medicine will still be active in your body, and in eight just one-quarter of the medicine will be left.
The longer the half-life, the longer than chemical is active in the body before it's broken down by its various metabolic processes.
Should there be concerns about combining Sildenafil with other drugs and/or alcohol?
Because Sildenafil was originally designed to be a type of blood pressure medication, one should be particularly careful about combining it with other blood pressure medications. This is especially true for nitrates.
Why is this an issue? Because taking too many blood pressure medications could cause one's blood pressure to drop too low. The symptoms would be dizziness, confusion, passing out, to name just a few.
Alcohol can worsen ED. Using both alcohol along side Sildenafil may require the patient to take a bigger dose than is necessary to achieve the same effect had one been sober.

Liberty News
Student scores among highest in nation on medical school entrance exam
As Liberty University prepares to matriculate its first class of medical students next fall in its College of Osteopathic Medicine, undergraduate students in the Department of Biology & Chemistry are already standing out in the scientific community.
John Davy, a senior biochemistry and molecular biology major, received a 40 on the Medical College Administration (MCAT) test (the entrance exam for medical school) in May, placing him in the 99.8 percentile for test takers nationwide. The average MCAT score for 2012 was 25.2.
Davy credits smaller classes, labs taught by caring professors, and his faith in helping him achieve the high score.
"The professors are fantastic and want to build a relationship with you as a student and are extremely invested in your success," he said. "The Lord helped me do well on the test; I could not do anything aside from Him helping me and this definitely exceeded my expectations."
The MCAT consists of three sections: physics/chemistry, verbal reasoning, and biological sciences. Each section has a maximum score of 15.
"The most important challenge when taking the MCAT is recalling everything you learned in classes," said Davy, who has applied to several medical schools. "It measures everything you were taught and wants to see if you really recalled what you have read and learned."
In 2012, about 86 percent of Liberty pre-med graduates were accepted into the medical school of their choice, and in 2011, 100 percent were accepted to their No. 1 choice.
Liberty's pre-med program, under the School of Health Sciences, is identified as the biomedical sciences major. Classes are designed to prepare students for medical school, dental school, physician assistant school, and related medical fields.

Lottery operator Camelot has said the winner of a £33m Lotto jackpot has finally come forward to claim the prize.
Camelot said it had received a valid claim from a holder of the multimillion winning ticket bought in Worcester.
They have chosen to remain anonymous.
Camelot said it had been investigating hundreds of claims of lost, damaged or stolen tickets in Worcester.
A spokesman for the National Lottery said they were "delighted" that the rightful winner had now been found. We're delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win. It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-changing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.

How do I access my mailbox using an e-mail client via POP3?
There are 2 ways to access your mailbox. One is via an e-mail client and the other is via the webmail interface using a browser. Examples of e-mail clients are Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Eudora, Entourage, Mac Mail, Thunderbird, etc. Any mobile devices, such as iPhones, Andriods or BlackBerries, can also be considered as e-mail clients.
If you set up your email client to use POP3 as the incoming/receiving protocol, messages on the server will be downloaded directly to your local machine. The advantage of a POP3 connection is that all messages are stored locally and therefore, they are not occupying disk space on the server side. For heavy email users, managing messages locally using a full featured email client is also a much more efficient option. As such, POP3 connections are recommended for desktops or laptops or devices with large disk storage. As a side note, SMTP is always paired with POP3 as the outgoing/sending protocol. Please find the settings for
POP3 access
i) Non-SSL connection
(obsolete, insecure connection - not recommended)
POP3 server = mail.yourdomain.ca
POP3 SSL connection = OFF
POP3 port (SSL) = 110
username = firstname.lastname@example.com (entire e-mail address)
password = your own password
SMTP server = mail.yourdomain.ca
SMTP SSL connection = OFF
SMTP port (SSL) = 2525
Outgoing Authentication = ON
username = firstname.lastname@example.com (entire e-mail address)
password = your own password
ii) SSL connection
(standard, secure connection - highly recommended)
POP3 server = mail.yourdomain.ca (see 2nd note)
POP3 SSL connection = ON
POP3 port (SSL) = 995
username = firstname.lastname@example.com (entire e-mail address)
password = your own password
SMTP server = mail.yourdomain.ca (see 2nd note)
SMTP SSL connection = ON
SMTP port (SSL) = 587 or 465
Outgoing Authentication = ON
username = firstname.lastname@example.com (entire e-mail address)
password = your own password
Enter your domain:
For specific email client setup, please click
for Microsoft Outlook;
for Mozilla Thunderbird;
for Apple iPhone/iPad;
for Mac Mail.
In some cases, users may encounter a security warning regarding the SSL certificate by the e-mail client. The only reason for the warning is because the SSL certificate is tied to our official domain, "namespro.ca", instead of the user's own domain. For most end users, it is not economical to purchase a yearly SSL certificate purely for the purpose of encrypting their e-mail connection. As such, we are providing this secure connection service to our users free of charge.
That being said, most of the newer e-mail clients have an option to "allow this exception and store this certificate permanently". What this means is that users can simply approve the certificate once and will subsequently be able to connect without further warnings. However, if there is no such option in your case, a quick resolution would be to simply switch your mail server names to a "xxxxxxx.namespro.ca" mail server name. The functionality of your e-mail connection will remain exactly the same, but this change will bypass/satisfy the generic warning that one may be encountering. To obtain the correct "xxxxxxx.namespro.ca" mail server name for your application, please send us a ticket via our
online support system
. We will be glad to provide the necessary information and instructions on how to proceed.
If you wish to access your mailbox via the webmail interface, please refer to
for more instructions.
If you wish to access your mailbox using IMAP, please refer to
for more instructions.
If you have forgotten your mailbox password, please refer to
(free mailbox & e-mail hosting only) or
(Windows hosting only) for more instructions on how to reset it.
