July 12, 201312 yr Admins will be happy to know that my Chrome AdBlock Plus has apparently whitelisted whatever ad provider you guys have, since I often see ads on here despite having that plug-in.

It's Google Adsense - so since you are using AdBlock Plus provided as an add-in for Google's Chrome, it makes sense that they do not block.

I didn't realize they were AdSense ads...I just read a story about AdBlock Plus whitelisting AdSense as their ads are never intrusive ("intrusive ads) are technically the only type of ad that AdBlock Plus seeks to block). They were, however, paid handsomely for this whitelisting. Some debate has ensued about whether that is good practice or not. I say, why not? Non-intrusive ads being whitelisted and ABP making money doesn't seem like the worst thing. It helps websites like Soxtalk, too. Also, I accidentally clicked the banner the other day...so enjoy my 5 cents.
July 13, 201312 yr A boy was just rescued from under approximately 34 feet of sand after falling into a sink hole in the Indiana Dunes today, and being under there for possibly as long as 3.5 hours. Just amazing.
July 16, 201312 yr Not sure where this goes. Hector Santiago will be signing autographs at Dean's Dugout Baseball Card shop in Naperville. Thursday July 18 6:30-8 PM. Store is at 87th and Washington in Naperville. I think it's $20 for an autographed photo.

July 22, 201312 yr Author Princess Kate in the hospital in labor. I think they send up black smoke every few hours if there is no baby yet, and then white smoke when there finally is a baby.

July 22, 201312 yr Author Are they gonna pass the royal baby around England like the Stanley Cup? That reminds me of when the Hawks won the cup and were passing it around, my wife, who knows absolutely nothing about hockey, asked, "Why does the black guy (Emery) have to wait until last?"
