The funny thing is that when I show my sketchbooks to people, their favourite ones are always the doodles that have no meaning behind them at all. Sigh

Interracial/Oral sections.
This one skips past the credits and whisks the viewer away to TT Boy's apartment. Studs such as Max Black jabber with sassy Latin numbers, who can't understand a word they're saying. When those throbbing slabs of man gristle are whipped out, however, the universal language of cock sucking is in effect.
There are 10 routine scenes lasting 20 minutes each. Understandably, the homies are fond of ogling over the curvaceous cans on these Latin honeys. Some gash-gobbling takes place here and there, which is frustrating because it's all cock and cum-coated faces from there on out. Eight pussy-delving solo scenes featuring the same dildo (!) make for decent additives.

Even though it's hard to imagine that no NHL games will be played this year, hockey fans must prepare themselves for the possibility that the owners and players won't resolve the lockout in time to save the 2012-13 season.
Fortunately for people who still want to follow the sport without NHL games to attend, there will be plenty of hockey between now and June that will be exciting and fun to watch.
Let's look at four ways that fans can cope with the loss of another NHL season.
Follow the World Junior Championships
The World Junior Championships begin the day after Christmas, and there are so many reasons to check out this tournament.
Not only will a large number of the NHL's best prospects be competing for the gold medal, but a lot of the top players in the 2013 NHL draft class will also be featured in this tournament with the opportunity to improve their draft stock.
The WJC will only last for only 10 days, but if there's no NHL season in 2012-13, there won't be a better one-and-a-half-week period of hockey as good as the competition that will be seen in Russia from December 26 through January 5.
For fans in Canada, the WJC can be seen on TSN, and for people who want to watch these games in the United States, make sure that the NHL Network is included in your cable or satellite package.
Support Your Local College Hockey Team
Without an NHL team to watch, hockey fans should definitely buy tickets and attend local college hockey games.
The atmosphere at college games is outstanding.
There are no minor hockey leagues in the United States (AHL, ECHL, etc.) that will provide more exciting hockey than the NCAA.
Since many of the NHL's best players played in the NCAA at some point in their careers, you would be watching some of the stars of tomorrow by attending more college games during the lockout.
Here are some good college teams worth watching this season for fans in certain NHL markets:
|NHL Market
|College Teams Worth Watching
|Boston Bruins fans
|Boston College, New Hampshire, Boston University, Harvard, Dartmouth
|With five ranked teams, including the No. 1-ranked BC Eagles and No. 2 UNH Wildcats, the Hockey East conference will provide New England hockey fans with plenty of great games from now until April.
|Minnesota Wild fans
|Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth, St. Cloud State, Minnesota State
|With several ranked teams having impressive seasons, the "state of hockey" is the place to be for exciting college action.
|New York Rangers fans
|Union, Quinnipiac, Niagara, Yale, Colgate
|Rangers fans throughout the state of New York and Connecticut have plenty of quality teams to watch and support during the college hockey season.
|Columbus Blue Jackets fans
|Miami (Ohio), Ohio State, Notre Dame
|Blue Jackets fans can enjoy Ohio State and Miami (OH) games during the lockout and also travel to Indiana to watch No. 3 Notre Dame pursue its first NCAA title.
|Detroit Red Wings fans
|Ferris State, Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan
|Red Wings fans are not only passionate about NHL hockey, many of them also love watching the great number of quality NCAA teams in Michigan. Western Michigan is having a great season thus far with a No. 8 ranking.
|Colorado Avalanche fans
|Denver, Colorado College
|No. 14 Denver is one of several talented NCAA teams that Avalanche fans can support during the lockout.
Support a Youth Hockey League, Join a Men's League
If there's no NHL season, will you watch more college/minor league hockey?
Without NHL games this year, think about helping out a local youth hockey league as a coach or referee.
Not only would you be helping out young kids who are learning the game, it would also allow you to earn some great experience as a coach or referee in case you ever want to make a career out of either job.
Another great way to spend your time on weeknights with no NHL games to watch is to join a men's hockey league, where you can stay in shape and have fun with your friends.
Give Other Sports Some of Your Attention
If you are a big NHL fan, but you don't want to watch or go to AHL/NCAA games, then take some time during the lockout and watch some other sports that you normally wouldn't pay much attention to if there was NHL hockey available.
European soccer's popularity in the United States has risen considerably over the last few years, and other sports, such as tennis and golf, can be exciting to watch and play—especially in the spring and summer when the weather is nice.
If there's no NHL season this year, try to watch and learn new sports, especially the ones you may have played in school but haven't practiced much since.
Don't let the NHL ruin your sports fun over the next few months. Go out and discover some new sports that you can have fun playing and watching for years to come.

I salute you Ron Paul.
Here is one of my many favorite Ron Paul moments of 08
PS! It's when he owns Huckabee when debating the "war".
I've never voted ONCE in my eligibility to vote (since 2005)—but if R.Paul does indeed announce his candidacy, and he seriously hits the runnings—I will b-line my ass straight into a voter's booth. I'm amazed at this guy's goals, and I'd love to give him the chance to see what he could do in a term (or two!?)
I love to see USiA open their eyes, and adapt the freedom once again in their country. It will help not only them, but all of us, which live in the country, where USiA is treated as an example (like some EU countries)….
GOOD LUCK Ron Paul, Sir.
gassy from Poland
Ron Paul = Liberty
God damn I love Ron Paul.
i like this man.. i hope he wins but if he does that will be weird, because then he might be a apart of the NWO, other wise they wont let him win!!
nice comment at 4:01 the measure of man is not determined by what he will do but by what he won't do.
I want to vote for him, but I can't I'm from Spain, I remember when Bush bush got reelected there was a Global poll and if all the planet would have been allowed to vote he only would have got 5 percent of approval!!!!!!!
im in the UK but I want you to win Ron Paul , but please have alot of security around you
Dr Ron Paul, you earn my respect!!! 2012 President
Yes. F*ck yeah. And this is coming from a Malaysian.

Draft Pick Standings Update
The Cubs have been playing out the string since about May...maybe June, but they can 'eff with the Pirates and Cardinals playoff jockeying this week. More importantly though, they're trying to at the very least maintain the 4th pick in the draft. The Astros clinched the #1 spot for the third year running yesterday and Miami and the White Sox should wrap up the #2 spot here by mid-week with a 4.5 game lead over the White Sox, who are 3.5 ahead of the Cubs. The Cubs could very well drop to the 5th spot in the draft as they own just a half game lead over the Twins, although the Cubs do own the tiebreaker against both the Twins and White Sox. Mathematically they could drop farther than the 5th spot, but that seems unlikely at this point (full draft pick standings in the left sidebar).
Remaining schedules for the candidates after the break...
White Sox (7) - vs. Toronto, 2 @ Clevelenad, 4 vs. Kansas City
Cubs (6) - 3 vs. Pittsburgh, 3 @ St. Louis
Twins (7) - 3 vs. Detroit, 4 vs. Cleveland
Royals could be eliminated by the weekend as they stand 3.5 back at the moment from a wild card spot and the Tigers could have the division wrapped up as early as tonight. Tigers are 3.5 back of the Red Sox for home field and 2 back of the A's for any home field considerations, but they'll certainly be making their best effort for the bulk of the Twins series you would think.
The AL Wild Card and NL Central/Wild Card races should last through the bulk of the weekend.
Cubs will throw Samardzija against Morton tonight, then Rusin vs. Cole followed by Arrieta vs Liriano. Then they have a day off Thursday and T. Wood vs. Lynn, E. Jackson vs Kelly and Samardzija vs Wainwright to finish the season, although they'll certainly skip Wainwright if the game proves meaningless in the standings or they know they'll need him for the wild card game.
There's not much in the statistical mile markers to watch for either this week, Rizzo and Schierholtz will battle for the team home run title (22 vs 21 at the moment). Despite the off-year, Castro will lead the team in hits (155 at the moment) and if he can manage a stolen base, tie the departed Alfonso Soriano for the team lead there, 2 will give it to Castro outright. Rizzo will lead the team in runs (70), doubles (39), walks (74), on-base percentage (.323 amongst those with enough plate appearances) and potentially home runs. Schierholtz will take the batting average (.252) and slugging percentage crowns(.475).
On the pitching side, Travis Wood and Samardzija will both get a chance at 10 wins this week, Samardzija will need to win both his starts and Wood his sole opportunity. Regardless, both will end up with below .500 win-loss records, not as meaningful as it's just ugly to look at. Samardzija will of course take the strikeout crown for the team and is 4th in the NL overall at 203. He won't catch up to Kershaw(224) for the league lead, but he has a legit shot at the #2 spot...Cliff Lee(209) and Burnett(203) should have just one more start this week and Wainwright(209) may just have one more start.
Anyway, sort of a can't lose week this week for the Cubs, they win and they screw with their division rivals, they lose and they do well in the draft.
Interesting that the Bears D
Interesting that the Bears D got better AFTER Melton got carried off. That showed some character to me. They didn't deflate. The turnovers are a nice carryover from the Lovie era. Trestman has said he inherited a well coached team, all he had to do was install his system. I always thought Lovie's teams were pretty well coached. The offensive side was absymal, but defense held its own pretty well.
I hope Cutler doesn't make a habit of it, but his plowing his shoulder into that DB was awesome. I do think the media are the only ones who think Cutler doesn't have respect because of his playoff thing. He takes a pounding and I am pretty sure NFL players respect him, but it was good national TV stuff for others to see him do that. And honestly, I think he has pretty good football instincts. I doubt he would have tried that with a bigger guy and he had the perfect angle to wipe him out. Good stuff.
I love the quick pass stuff. I hope they keep working out the kinks in that. It was really effective for the first quarter til Pittsburgh started adjusting. And I love how they've Marshall Faulked Forte. They've had 50 offensive coordinators in here who have said they would do that with Forte and haven't.
I'm still worried about the D, but it did do better Sun night. Still, I see teams marching the ball up and down the field at will on them. They can't depend on turnovers forever. Williams sort of picked it up, not sure who went in for Melton - wasn't paying enough attention, but he must have done ok.
Oh, and Howie Long's kid? Nice pick.

weird season for him...he's been working a lot more deep counts than in years past.
he had velocity issues earlier in the season, too...then he turned the corner and could bring it 97+mph again. part of his "magic" was being able to work 92-95mph early in the game then up'ing his velocity to 95+ after a couple times through the lineup or when he needed to nail down the AB. it's almost like having 2 different pitches even though they're the same arm slot/grip/etc.
speaking of velocity issues...before r.halladay was pulled after throwing to 3 batters for "arm fatigue" tonight, he was topping out at 83mph...yow.

cubs are still getting 30K+ people a game showing up to watch this atrocity on the field...though looking at what's in the stands it seems like 10K scalpers and ticket brokers are getting screwed in the wallet for some of the home games.
in the 1st half they had 9 games with attendance below 30K...some weather-related (especially the early TEX series of 2 games with 29K and 26K).
in the 2nd half they've had 8 games with attendance below 30K (3 of them 29,000+ attendance, though) and some of those were weather-related.
they've broken 40K four times...vs STL (2), LAD, and MIL (home opener).

I don't buy this. Maybe "sold". But not turnstiles.
Al Yellon, to the best of his ability, has an attendance watch thing on his site that you can check out and considering he is there every day, and not entirely on the Cubs payroll (yet), his estimates seem pretty reasonable.
RE: the Girardi twitter link
RE: the Girardi twitter link above
Any of you watch enough baseball to know if Girardi is actually any good, now that he has a few years under his belt? I know there's the argument that the Cubs won't spend money on a manager but I don't buy that.

Well - it is obvious that it
Well - it is obvious that it would be ok to fantasize about what a good manager (if anything) could do with the team they have currently.
With a $15MM payroll in 2006, and some terrific young pitchers (Willis, Anabel Sanchez, Nolasco, Welly), the team wound up only 4 games under .500 and had Hanley Ramirez, Josh Willingham, Miggy, Uggla, et. al. (TEAM OPS: 1.115) Joe won a Manager of the Year Award, and most important, told Loria to fuck himself.
Would he want to come here and live through misery for a year + ?
Would he want the headache?
the very idea of paying
the very idea of paying girardi $3+ million to come play house on this crap team rather than sinking the $2-$2.5m+ saved vs another manager into the actual product on the field kinda disgusts me.
we've done the "50+ year old savior" before...and paid them handsomely to do it.
ultimately, it's the product on the field, not the old man playing psychologist and roster shuffler.
what girardi did in 06 is a function of what his team did with him at the helm in 06...he didn't make/break any of those guys.
plus, girardi does some weird stuff with bullpen management...and he makes some weird double/triple player switches (especially for a guy managing an AL team). he's anything but a sure thing...and managers heralded as "sure things" seem to be heroes one year and bums the next season or 2 later, such as jack mckeon and currently mike scioscia.
put the $2-$2.5m+ into the product that actually takes the field.
I hear what you're saying
I hear what you're saying about spending the $2.5M+ on players vs. a manager. I've come to the conclusion player payroll means shit. As it stood this morning, 5 of the 10 potential playoff teams had payrolls of less than $66M. I would love a manager/coaches who could teach a Barney to hit, take Castro/Rizzo to the next level, teach Samardzija to have a long-term memory of 20 seconds when he's on the mound, etc. But, is it the player(s) or the manager? Soriano sits for 5 years under Pinella/Quade and plays LF like he doesn't give a shit -- then, Sveum's staff takes him out to LF before every game and he becomes, arguably, a Gold Glove candidate last year. Is it the development skills of the manager/coaches, or is it the player who gives a shit (or in Soriano's case, starts to care)?
I've always seen MLB as a high-paid, small town of about 1,200-1,500 players, coaches, execs who know (or should know) about everyone's dirty little secrets. Look at Keppinger today leaving the White Sox (bad shoulder, allegedly). Everybody in that clubhouse thinks he's a dick with ears. MAYBE, it's less about the Sveum/Girardi/Gardenhire's of the game and more about the Theo/Jed's building a roster of players who have real baseball skills, want to get better at baseball, and are willing to be coached and put in the work to get better. I believe if the Cubs had more of that, the playoffs/titles might not be so far away.
"I would love a [manager] who
"I would love a [manager] who could . . . teach Samardzija to have," etc.
Girardi would teach him to have short hair.
I would love a manager

Anybody that could teach Darwin Barney to hit should have an MLB batting coach job for life.

for some reason navarro ran full on towards second...took a few steps towards 3rd, then slowed and returned to 2nd...sureholds, seeing how fast he was running and where the ball was in the OF kept running towards 2nd. sureholds tagged out half way between 2nd and 1st trying to return to 1st.

There's been much written
There's been much written about the 0.045 tv rating in the Houston market for last week's Saturday game vs. the Angels, which meant that an average of 915 households were tuned into the game.
Apparently, Sunday's game got a 0.0 rating, which means the audience was so small, it was unmeasurable.
Houston Chronicle story:
Same size of 581 households.
Sample size of 581 households. Granted, of course, 0 out of 581 is pretty grim, and I bet fairly representative, but you would think in the digital age they can come up with better reporting mechanisms than meters that, I assume, are actually still installed in the home? That seems crazy. These systems are all digital now. It should be easy for cable companies to provide better metrics.

Dunno about that -- does anyone really come to the ballpark to see the manager? Would Ryno managing a 95 loss team bring out more folks than Sveum? Unless the team improves, other than a very short-term Ryno blip, I don't think so -- althoguh it does give the press something to talk about.
Now, if they hire Kate Upton to manage the club, I, for one, would attend more games.

does that season attendance include the playoff game vs the Braves?
even in 2011, on the 2nd year
even in 2011, on the 2nd year on the wrong side of a .500 record the team was taking in 35-40K rather regularly.
it seems the "we're going to punt" mantra of the past 2 seasons has degraded enthusiasm.
when the kids finally trickle up to the majors and/or there's more hope from signings/trades...or the team starts winning in spite of either of those facts the fans will come back.
for a huge stretch run of seasons the problem was not having enough good/non-obstructed/non-nosebleed seats for the people that wanted them and an ever-growing + never-moving season ticket list. it'll return. the market and the draw the stadium is too large not to...especially when they can pull 30K in tickets sold in a season like this following last season. some teams in contention can't even pull 30K even when they are competing...aside from the obvious like TB, the reds are drawing rather pathetic numbers for a team that's going to the playoffs this year.
Nice finish to the home
Nice finish to the home season for Starlin...
Never seen anything like that
Never seen anything like that. I am COMPLETELY stunned and flummoxed that McCann is not tossed. Without him literally blocking the plate by a good 6 feet (Gomez never did touch it), the whole thing might have actually blown over (at least until Gomez batted again). I completely blame the braves, and I don't know why they even give a shit. Bush league is right.
I would bet on a suspension/fine for McCann - they can't really condone a catcher blocking the plate. On a HR. That would be quite a precedent. Probably a suspension for Reed too.
Also was Aram tossed?
Also was Aram tossed?
Gameday says "Atlanta Braves
Gameday says "Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman ejected by 1B umpire Doug Eddings", "Atlanta Braves catcher Gerald Laird ejected by 1B umpire Doug Eddings", and "Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez ejected by HP umpire Paul Nauert". So they didn't eject McCann because they had already thrown out the backup catcher who was on the bench? Laird does not appear in the box score at all. What a mess.
I see Carlito weighed in on this while I was typing my comment. Sorry for the 3/44.

Interesting note: in reading
Interesting note: in reading the braves brewers box score it says Braves' catcher Gerald Laird was ejected in the first along with Freeman and Gomez. Very odd . . . wonder if this played into McCann not being ejected. Or if Laird was ejected as Proxy for McCann or something bizarre. Weird.

Baseball Prospectus article
Baseball Prospectus article on their top 20 prospects to have impact in 2014 but not make the opening day roster ("The Stash list"):
2) Javier Baez, SS, Chicago Cubs
Oh, what do we have here? Just a shortstop-eligible player who hit 37 homers and stole 20 bases between High-A and Double-A this season. The word out of Cubs camp is that Baez is skipping the Arizona Fall League to rest up for a big Spring Training battle, in which he'll get time at other infield positions. Of course, he's likely to lose that battle since there are service time concerns here, but Baez has the bat speed and #rig to put up some crooked numbers upon his arrival.
15) Arismendy Alcantara, 2B/SS, Chicago Cubs
Not only did Alcantara survive the Double-A test in 2013, he flourished—hitting .271 with 15 homers and 31 steals. On top of that, he cranked a homer off Anthony Ranaudo in the Futures Game, putting an exclamation point on a great season. Alcantara's biggest obstacle in 2014 may be the fact that he could be competing with Javier Baez for a shot to play 2B on the North Side.
20) Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs
The second player on this list who has yet to cross the all-important moat to Double-A, Bryant is also the only 2012 draftee here. A lot would have to go right for Bryant to get him into the majors before August, but he has enough upside to warrant inclusion even with that being the case. The power is real and it's fantastic.

IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.

I love WP Super Cache and it has greatly speeded up my sites.
However, it's also made my WP upgrade process more complicated. Some of my sites run in PHP Safe Mode (not my choice!) and that means that in order to deactivate and reactivate the plugin I have to go through the following steps by hand:
- remove "WP_CACHE" from wp-config.php
- delete wp-content/advanced-cache.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
- deactivate plugin
- [upgrade WordPress]
- re-add "WP_CACHE" to wp-config.php
- temporarily chmod wp-content 777 so plugin can re-create wp-content/advanced-cache.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
- reactivate plugin
- chmod wp-content back to 755
My questions:
1. I'm trying to understand why WP Super Cache needs to set "WP_CACHE" in wp-config.php and have two PHP files in wp-content. The former I don't get at all; the latter (it seems to me) could be avoided by storing config info in a non-executable format in the cache directory (assuming you're trying to avoid all database calls). What am I missing?
2. Is there a way for me to deactivate and reactivate WP Super Cache in a PHP Safe Mode environment without going through all the manual steps above?
3. A possible solution: I gather that some plugins can be deactivated and reactivated simply by moving them out of the way and then back into place. Is that safe for WP Super Cache?
Thanks for your advice.

Our passion for chocolate was realised in 2005 when our first Xocolatl store was opened on Maling Road, Canterbury. As a family, since the very beginning, our mission has always been to continually strive to be better than the best in our field.
When creating our couverture products what excites us and keeps our passion alive is experimenting with ingredients. Whilst we are inspired by and respect tradition, we are driven by innovation. To produce unique flavour experiences for our customer, Xocolatl explores both the exotic and savoury, developing combinations that surprise the palate and generate a new perspective on what chocolate can be. Equally important is to always respect the integrity of our ingredients and so we use only what is fresh and of the highest quality available.
Our stores, in Canterbury and Kew, are where we can share our passion for chocolate. We are service orientated and always hope to provide a relaxed and comforting ambience in store for those who visit. However, what we hope most of all is that when you leave us after devouring a decadent treat, you were able to taste our secret ingredient – love.

Unpaid $171 Medical Bill
I was contacted by a collection agency (Peter Roberts and Associates, Inc) about an unpaid medical bill totaling $171 dollars. I had no idea about this bill until it showed up on my credit report. I asked them to verify the debt (which they did) but will not accept a PFD.
I'd really like to get this off of my report and have the money to pay for it. The debt is from a hospital visit at Harvard Vanguard in Boston. When I go onto the hospital's website, it gives me the options to pay a bill using the account number (provided on the DV letter Peter Roberts provided). Is there a possibility that if I pay it through their website I can dispute the debt with the CA saying it was paid?
HELP! What should I do. I'd like to pay the debt regardless (because I owe it), but don't want to make a mistake doing the wrong thing.

Response-sequence learning is often studied by manipulating consequences for sequence completion. Results of research evaluating how changes in discriminative stimuli disrupt the accuracy of response sequences suggest that transitions to reversed but highly predictive discriminative stimuli are more disruptive than the removal of discriminative stimuli. Two experiments assessed effects of changing discriminative stimuli on response-sequence accuracy while reinforcement remained contingent on a left-peck, right-peck response sequence. Initially, pigeons were trained on the response sequence in which the S+ key was illuminated red and the S- key was illuminated white. For all conditions of both experiments, the "accurate" response sequence that led to food was the same, but the way the accurate sequence was signaled sometimes differed. In Experiment 1, after training, discriminative stimuli were either removed (by lighting both keys white) or reversed. Accuracy was lower when discriminative stimuli were reversed than when they were removed. Experiment 2 showed that after training with discriminative stimuli, a history of reinforcement without discriminative stimuli was sufficient for the response sequence to emerge at high levels of accuracy when the discriminative stimuli were reversed. Results suggest a parsimonious explanation for why highly predictive discriminative stimuli sometimes fail to control behavior based on behavioral history.

The Block Bad Queries Plugin hasn't been updated recently. Is WordPress still subject to these types of malicious attacks or has it been hardened sufficiently to make the plugin obsolete? Is there an alternative?
Yes it is still relevant, WordPress is very subject to query based attacks. It is more common and easier to attack bad plugins/themes, so even if your WordPress version is kept up to date, it's still a good idea.
There is a better plugin called Mute Screamer, it uses a central PHPIDS database.

The All Blacks' poor performances in the two "add-on" tests
this year against Australia and England and a stronger
financial position have prompted the New Zealand Rugby Union
to consider playing fewer tests in 2013.
The third Bledisloe Cup match against Australia in Brisbane,
which finished in a 18-18 draw, and the final test of the
year against England at Twickenham, a humiliating 38-21
defeat for the All Blacks, were not originally on the
calendar but were added as money spinners.
NZRU chief executive Steve Tew said now the lucrative deal
with jersey sponsor AIG had been locked in until 2017, the
organisation would base their decisions on what was best for
the players heading into the 2015 World Cup.
Next year the All Blacks host France for three tests during
the Super Rugby break. Then it's into the Rugby Championship
against the Springboks, Wallabies and Pumas as usual.
There will again be an extra Bledisloe Cup test but the All
Blacks are slated to play only Ireland, France and England on
the Northern Hemisphere tour. There is a possibility an extra
test against Wales or an international against the Barbarians
could be added, with Tew saying talks with northern unions
still had to take place.
Regardless, it appears the feedback from players and coach
Steve Hansen about the tough nature of the latest tour in
November and December has hit its mark and that extra test at
the end of the year is looking less likely.
This year the All Blacks demolished Scotland, accounted for
Italy, were excellent against Wales until the latter stages
and hardly fired a shot against England.
Tew said he was aware of the demands placed on the All
Blacks, especially those who have families, and that they are
also integral to the success of their Super Rugby teams.
"The thing about the extra game, as an example, is that we're
now able to sit back and say 'what's the best rugby outcome
from the discussions for an extra game?'," Tew said.
"Would the All Black coaches and players see an extra game as
beneficial for 2015 or is getting back and having another
week off and getting back into Super Rugby earlier the better
option? That's the discussion we're able to have rather than
when we set up for 2012 three years ago when we desperately
needed to play this extra game, and in fact the third
Bledisloe is also a revenue earner.
''This year we put two extra matches into the schedule which
earned us a considerable amount of money. The majority of
guys who toured went and did another three or four days of
commercial work and didn't get back until the weekend," he
"So it is a very demanding end of a tough year for our guys
and we're keen to manage it. But we also don't want to take a
knee-jerk reaction to a performance against England that
didn't match up to what we'd expect.
"Now that we've locked in a considerable proportion of our
commercial revenue we can make our decisions based on what's
best for the team rather than necessarily having to take the
money thing into account."
Tew said Hansen would have an input into next year's
"I've been talking to Steve on a regular basis and it's fair
to say he's waxed and waned a little bit. There is an
argument that having an additional game better mirrors what
2015 is going to be like."
Tew said he wasn't aware of any other All Blacks starting
next year late. Keven Mealamu will relinquish the Blues
captaincy to take an extended break, while Richie McCaw is
taking a sabbatical and will miss the France tests and first
part of the Crusaders season at least.
Tew said other players, such as Hurricanes skipper Conrad
Smith, could take a sabbatical in order to stay fresh for the
2015 World Cup in England and Wales.

LSU could be without one of it's top playmakers for it's season opener against Oregon. ESPN reports Russell Shephard is facing NCAA compliance issues.
The junior wide receiver is facing questions about rent payment arrangements with a woman who he has lived with and who is a student worker in LSU's football office. LSU hopes to have Shephard for the Oregon game on September 3rd.
Shephard was scheduled to appear at SEC Media Days, but was pulled in favor of offensive lineman T-Bob Hebert at the last minute. Head Coach Les Miles declined to comment on Shephard's eligibility in Hoover, but acknowledged his wide receiver had an issue to handle.
Shepard had 33 catches for 254 yards last season, while rushing for 226 yards and two touchdowns. He's scored five touchdowns during his career in Baton Rouge.

ART/ARCHITECTURE; Bit by Bit, the Digital Age Comes Into Artistic Focus
By JEFFREY KASTNER
Published: March 18, 2001
LANCE KINZ bends over a small pile of electronic equipment, punches a few buttons and stands back as a long, rectangular television monitor on the wall fills with color. Mr. Kinz, director of the Feigen Contemporary gallery in Manhattan, is showing a visitor work by one of his artists, Jeremy Blake. As Mr. Blake's pieces swirl into focus, the screen comes alive with light and movement -- opalescent panels pulse, geometric grids surround patches of color and then dissolve behind tonal veils.
From time to time, the mists resolve into representational images, usually bits of architecture. A ''wall'' appears and then gives way as portals glide open, Star Trek-style, to reveal hidden spaces behind it -- a slot filled with lapping orange shapes like flames in some virtual après-ski fireplace; a deep black ground twinkling with dots of light, suggesting a snowy winter night.
Minutes pass as the shapes and colors shift and dissolve to a soundtrack of whispers and swellings in sync with the visual rhythms, until finally the cool, hypnotic work comes full circle and starts again.
''I think of them as a cross between a painting and a lava lamp,'' Mr. Kinz says as he brings the lights back up. Though the two concepts might seem incompatible, the description turns out to be evocative: not only of Mr. Blake's work but also of the often incongruous nature of art in a digital age. Advances in computing power, production processes and material science have given today's artists new ways of working and new tools to work with.
They have in turn set off an aesthetic free-for-all characterized by increasingly sophisticated hybrid projects involving disparate mediums and genres. Instead of paintings, sculptures or drawings, viewers might get virtual environments, automated sculpture-making machines, mutable photographic imagery or complex musical compositions built on computer noise.
Like Mr. Blake, who trained as a painter but now employs techniques more closely allied with filmmaking, photography, installation or digital design, the artists pioneering these new combinatory forms are producing work that thwarts conventional categorization. They're also stirring dramatic changes in artistic practice.
No longer deployed simply for their bells and whistles, hi-tech modes of artistic production are rapidly becoming commonplace. They are also being integrated, ever more regularly and subtly, with existing practices. For the next few months, a pair of major museum exhibitions -- ''010101: Art in Technological Times'' at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (through July 8) and ''BitStreams'' at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (opening on Thursday and running through June 10) -- will examine the growing convergence between art and technology.
''There are countless artists who are engaging digital technologies to make their work,'' says Lawrence Rinder, curator of contemporary art at the Whitney and the lead curator for ''BitStreams,'' ''sometimes in places where you least expect it and absolutely across media -- in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video.''
The increasing use of technological materials and methods is more than simply a formal or stylistic phenomenon, Mr. Rinder says. Artists are also creating resonant new reflections of modern life. ''But it goes beyond that,'' he says. ''I do think there are ways in which some of the metaphors that are being opened to us by the use of digital technology are useful for thinking about things like consciousness and being, things that have always been with us.''
Mr. Rinder developed ''BitStreams'' with the Whitney's associate curator for contemporary art, Debra Singer (who programmed the show's sound-related works), and its adjunct curator for new media arts, Christiane Paul, who is coordinating a contemporaneous exhibition for the Whitney of Internet art projects called ''Data Dynamics.'' Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a similarly diverse curatorial team worked on ''010101'': Aaron Betsky, Janet Bishop, Kathleen Forde, Adrienne Gagnon, John Weber and Benjamin Weil represented every department in the museum, from architecture and design to painting, sculpture, media arts and education.
Despite the timing, staff members at the museums insist that neither team has given much thought to the other's exhibition. And in any event, there is little overlap: out of nearly 100 artists between the two shows, only a handful, including Mr. Blake, are in both. If this suggests the independent institutional visions at work, it also confirms the growing pool of technology-related material available to choose from. Both exhibitions have the loose-limbed feel of shows in which almost everyone is an emerging artist, working with technologies and forms that are themselves still emergent.
''Technology is not the subject of '010101,' but rather the ubiquity of technology,'' says David A. Ross, the director of San Francisco Modern (and a former director of the Whitney). ''The curators wanted to look at how that's reflected both in artists who are using digital tools or online systems and structures, and those who are using more traditional artmaking techniques.''

Dungeon Fighter Live Hits XBLA Next Week, Here's a Couple of Trailers
Written Thursday, July 05, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Here's a couple of trailer for Dungeon Fighter Live, the XBLA incarnation of the startling popular Korean MMORPG.
Subtitled "Fall of Hendon Myre," Dungeon Fighter Live is a condensed version of the 2D, sidescrolling, free-to-play, browser-based, fighter RPG, (which is quite a mouthful). Sounds a bit crap, right? Maybe, but 300 million registered users worldwide and a record 2.6 million concurrent users in China can't be entirely wrong. Can they?
Check out the trailers below to make up your own mind. Dungeon Fighter Live: Fall of Hendon Myre is out next week, on July 13th.

text: Ive been playing the game on hardcore and noticed that if you get to a checkpoint and there were pain killers near by that you got before the checkpoint they will respond. Difficulty doesnt matter as I noticed them when I tried to go for some achievements on easy. This method also works if you reload checkpoint. So if your struggling in one section just reload checkpoint and go back and collect the pain killers so you have more health for what ever spot is giving you a hard time. There are some situations were the area may be locked or blocked so if i got to an area were i new i was at a checkpoint I would restart checkpoint go back and collect the painkillers so that way I would have more for the later parts of the level. Hope this helps anyone as it has been making hardcore mode alittle easier for me.
