Customize HTML pages on server

This is written in the documentation:
“o customize the Rocket.Chat UI you can either modify the rocketchat-theme or rocketchat-ui packages directly, but if you’re keeping in sync with active development it would be easier to avoid conflicts by creating your own theme package.”
I did so and added some test strings in html pages, but i can not see any changes on frontpage.

How can i customize HTML pages on server?

MVC3 - unfinished game sold at full price

the game fails at basic functionality, yet Capcom has the nerve to charge more than full price (considering the on-disk DLC) for basically an unfinished product that was allegedly in development before (Super) Street Fighter4.

really… if you don’t stand as a community on this matter, not only will the game die online (since it’s barely functional with no spectating), but we’ll get the same story repeated with future games.

we need to be clear on a few things that make or break a fighting game.

let’s break it down by what MVC3 lacks:

  • no spectating
  • no replays
  • no online training mode (how hard is it to do this??)
  • no comprehensive tutorials for such a complex free form game (that barren Mission Mode barely counts)
  • no connection quality indicator (extremely funny that you include a lag simulator option in Training Mode, but you can’t even “use” it, i guess)
  • the same old complicated way of assigning buttons
  • no rematch button in 2 player lobbies (to avoid reselecting and staying through loading screen over and over).

i don’t even want to address the bugs/issues the game has, just the lack of features.

this is the last game in need of on-disk DLC! they wasted time with Shadow mode DLC when an online training mode would’ve been a lot more useful and fun. Capcom needs to set their priorities straight!

now, how do we get our voices heard? you get drowned mostly in nonsense within the Capcom Unity forums, unless we make a thread constantly upped to the first page. can someone with authority in the community write a concise, eloquent text of our dissatisfaction with MVC3 that we can support?

They have THE NERVE. lol.

Spectator mode is definitely a nice things to have, but it* hardly* is the defining factor in whether a game’s online component is good or bad.

True, the online has bigger problems mainly the worst netcode i’ve seen in a while for such a major title and the terrible matchmaking and various connectivity issues.

I have to admit, when my internet connection is at peak efficiency, I have very smooth matches. I have no complaints about that. And I find matches very quickly through fight request. But some people are having truly atrocious experiences, so those must be addressed.

I agree. Spectator mode would be nice but I believe connecting on ranked matches should be corrected. It sometimes takes me 5-10 min to get into a match finally. It is really irritating sometimes.

I’m with OP. This is unbelievable. I need spectator mode or this game is going to die really fast for me. Capcom needs to add it in soon.

PS: I really cant even begin to tell you how much this is hurting the game for me. I paid $60, I expect something as simple as well as necessary to be put into the game. STILL MAD

I don’t know what all the fuss over online training mode is about

it’d be 30 minutes of “dude let me practice my fucking combo stop jumping like an olympic hurdler you son of a bitch”, just go offline and go to the danger room alone

Also its already been stated that spectator mode will not effect netplay whatsoever, so hope off that bullshit bandwagon.

You like how they announce DLC for specific characters before game launches, one of which is ready on the disc?

Because that’s the part that let me know this was a rushed product. The core gameplay was obviously a priority, and for the most part that much is fine (all X factor should last as much as level 1 does now; level 3 xfac is a friggin joke), but the rest is rather lackluster. But I don’t really feel robbed of 60 dollars. The gameplay is fine for the most part (xfac needs to be toned the f**k down), and had they released the game when it was ready it would have been 2 months from now. I wanted marvel last year.

you can teach/show people stuff, you can try complex setups with competent people…

even if you only goof around, it still beats those 5 minutes versus stupid/boring AI with a custom team and a name.

lol sorry just had to point and laugh at this.

You would have to be a fool if you actually believe shadow mode took time to create.

so, programming an AI just happens instantly, now, does it?

MvC3 has training mode and offline versus mode. Ergo, it’s finished in my eyes and totally worth the price.

While I do agree that the online components leave a lot to be desired, there’s DLC and patches coming out further down the line so what’s the point in complaining if they can just fix it? As long as Capcom knows what needs to be done, we’re golden.

Online components of the game can be upgraded over time. It’s nothing to complain about. For people who play offline, the game is complete. That is pretty much reason enough to release the game for 60 bucks. You’re shocked about this now, but for MMO players like me, it’s just the norm.

You talk as if the game is that good, well it’s not. I only got it because of how popular it is to some people and nothing else was out that I was interested in.

Also, there is less content in this half baked game because there isn’t going to be a Super MvC3 version. Yet feel free to shove more costumes and two characters down or just wait until MK9 like I am, or I guess you could try PC games or get Bullet Storm right now, can’t really tell if that game is great or ok.

Yes. Input employee’s 3 characters with chosen colors, and set to one of the games 5 difficulty modes. lol

It’s nice to know there are still some gullible people left.

Niggas are working overtime to capture the essense of Nitsuma-san for his AI. :lol:

You’re right, they might patch it. But there’s clearly no guarantee that they will, and certainly trying to make noise about it can’t hurt. though the OP’s title is a tad melodramatic.

Read the damn NEWS. There was an interview stating that there would be technical issues with implementing spectator mode. We are all assuming that means they are not going to, which is the obvious thing to believe. We all know there excuse is bullshit and I and many others severely want it or this game is going to die fast for a lot of us.

Benjamin Franklin Papers

From Benjamin Franklin to William Strahan, 22 September 1763

To William Strahan

ALS: Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery

Boston, Sept. 22. 1763

Dear Friend

I write in pain with an Arm lately dislocated, so can only acknowledge the Receipt of your Favours of May 3. and 10.9 And thank you for the Intelligence they contain concerning your publick Affairs. I am now 400 Miles from home, but hope to be there again in about 3 Weeks.1 The Indian War upon our Western Settlements, was undoubtedly stirr’d up by the French on the Missisipi, before they had heard of the Peace between the two Nations; and will probably cease when we are in Possession of what is there ceded to us. My Respects to Mrs. Strahan and Love to your Children. I am, Dear Friend, very affectionately Yours

B Franklin

[Note numbering follows the Franklin Papers source.]

9On August 8 BF acknowledged Strahan’s “Favour of May 3. and Postscript of May 10” (above, p. 320) and thanked him for its “Sketch” of political affairs. No letter of either date has been found.

1Chiefly because of his injury, it was more than six weeks before BF reached Philadelphia.

What the Feck?! U.S. Has 11,200 Immigrant Children in Custody!

Dear Reader:

I’m a Samantha Bee fan, but I wasn’t watching the night she called Senior Advisor to the President, Ivanka Trump, a “feckless cunt.” I wish I had been, because I’m interested in what my initial reaction would have been. I’ve had a few days to form an opinion and I’d like to share it with you.

First, I’m a lover of words, so let’s start with the word “feckless” as it isn’t common in everyday usage. The Dictionary.com definition is:

lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible

So first off, Ms. Bee was opining that the Senior Advisor to the President is not effective in her role. She was speaking in reference to Ivanka’s obvious inability to influence her father’s view on the issue of immigration. Bee was most likely considering the first daughter’s past statements that showed a certain understanding and even admiration for immigrants. Reference material includes:

A tweet from Ivanka in March 2015…

“We love this story about an undocumented immigrant who worked her way up on Wall Street,“she wrote. She even provided a link to the full story of the inspiring young woman; the link no longer exists.

Ivanka might “love” a good success story, but her father was obviously unmoved when he decided to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival Program (DACA) last September.

The following month, Ivanka attended Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit and was asked to comment on immigration policy. “I personally am of the opinion, and the President has stated, that we have to figure out a good solution that protects these innocent people, many of whom were brought into this country as children,” she said.

Ivanka is marketing herself as an advocate for women and children and she is fond of reminding us that she is a mother. She frequently posts beautifully lit photos of herself and her children and Samantha used her most current post as her t.v. screen background.  I think it’s a bit naive of Ivanka to expect people to separate the stark differences represented on her twitter feed to the pictures we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks of tearful parents telling horror stories of how they were forcibly separated from their children at our border.

On April 6th, Jeff Sessions and Kirstjen Nielsen, the head of Homeland Security (DHS), announced a zero-tolerance policy for immigrants at the border. Anyone who didn’t cross the U.S. border at an official port of entry would be criminally prosecuted, even  asylum seekers. Those travelling with their children would be separated from them.

Asked to comment on the morality of the policy, Nielsen answered simply: “What we’ll be doing is prosecuting parents who have broken the law, just as we do every day in the United States of America,” she said during a recent Senate hearing. “The child, under law, goes to H.H.S.”—the Department of Health and Human Services—“for care and custody.”

Yet the network of child shelters overseen by H.H.S. is already operating at more than ninety-per-cent capacity. There’s been talk of sending children to military bases, where there’s more space. Beyond that, there’s no plan or policy.

There’s the context for Bee’s slur. Ivanka Trump is no longer simply the daughter of D.T. She is the Senior Advisor to the President and it’s fair game to criticize her. She has publicly communicated, more than once, her desire to help immigrants, women and children. And, yet those are the people suffering most under this administration. She’s either part of the problem or part of the solution. She gave up her position as a private citizen when she moved into the White House and began representing our country.

Samantha Bee was/is angry. (Samantha is also a mother, I might add.) I am angry. I sincerely hope you are angry too.  We are literally snatching children from their parents arms and discussing housing them at military bases! Read that again, please. Let that sink in.

Unfortunately, I am also a bit angry with Samantha. She’s a smart woman; she knew the use of the c-word would ignite outrage. I’m disappointed that she didn’t recognize that her language would push the important topic she was discussing into the background. I’d like her to keep doing what’s she’s been doing. (Truth to power!) But she should recognize that sometimes even a late night comedian shouldn’t say exactly, precisely what she thinks…neither should a blogger, or for that matter, anyone.

I’d say that the Senior Advisor to the President, Ivanka Trump, is feckless, but I’d leave it at that. POTUS says what he pleases without regard for taste, decorum, honesty or humility, but every American should hold themselves to a higher ideal.

From the Mississippi Review, symposium on contemporary poetry & poetic vision, 1990

Every poem has a vision:  sometimes clear, sometimes occluded. Whitman says, 'We are in every particle beautiful. I am longing for you.' Dickinson says, 'This is the edge of the great dark place. Here is a map.' Neruda:  'Here is the body of my lover, here the body of my country.' Akhmatova: 'Look on my people's sorrow.'

Every month I see hundreds of poems written in this country at this moment. Here is some of what they say:  I am tired. I am alone. This hurts me. For a few moments I see. I don't know what is happening around me and no one will explain. I am happy, I swear it. I believe in nothing. I am awake and dancing. I have lost something without which I can't live; I don't understand what it is or where to look for it. Sometimes I lie and sometimes I tell the truth and sometimes I can't tell the difference between them.

We are living in a time of almost unassimilably rapid and far-reaching change, affecting every aspect of our lives, every connection to every other living being on the planet. There is more daily evidence to bolster the case of both hope and despair than any of us can hold. The language we in the United States share and build from is heavy with both life and lies; words like 'freedom' and 'patriot' are bloodied and distorted, 'casualties' and 'suspected guerillas' with the blood in them hidden, words of greeting and blessing and parting spoken by machines or hollowed into the shilling between seller and sold. As the language foundries of the poor neighborhoods of Los Angeles and New York, of immigrant households, gay bars, elementary schools and the floor of the commodities exchange pour vividness into our stream of words, censorship dams it; this shadow falls everywhere we pause to speak or write.

As I write this it is more clear than it has ever been in my lifetime that we are citizens of an empire. The quality of our lives depends on the losses of others. By the time this is printed we may be waging yet another war to keep that true. Historian William Appleman Williams, recently dead, said, "Therein lies the true tragedy. The way that empire as a way of life kills the imagination." If part of poetic vision is to see what is true and tell it, then our task as poets in the United States is doubly difficult:  to resist not only the ordinary reluctance of language to yield its mysteries, but also our particular training in not seeing and not speaking of our country's obsession with accumulation and its terrible consequences.

Can a poem be 'technically brilliant' and without vision? To my mind, this is impossible; to build something new with language is to see and say something new, because language will not be divided from its meanings, from all the mouths it passes through, from its commonness. In our time, many things we thought were divided forever are joining: Haitian leaders and the aspirations of their people, Nelson Mandela and the public road, East and West Germans, our car exhaust and the planet's life span, our garbage and the land on which we live. For me, the joining includes the design of any made thing with its function in the world from which it comes. For me, 'technical brilliance' can no longer describe a hydrogen bomb or a battle plan or a building sealed from all weathers or a clever poem with nothing to say. Here is the technical brilliance I am these days striving for, from a friend of a friend who returned from the 1980s trip to Nicaragua:

"Near the end of the trip I met the director of an adult literacy project, just back from the funeral of one of his teachers who had been taken off a bus and killed by Contras. But he didn't talk to us about that. He told us only that the heart of the American people was surely as great as the heart of the Nicaraguan people and that if we wanted to help Nicaragua we should go home and find the heart of our people."

Travel to Cumberland Island with travel writer Kathleen Walls where you’ll find sandy beaches, pristine wilderness, native wildlife and feral horses. But get in quick, she says, this pristine natural wonderland may not last forever.

Trail leading to the beach on Cumberland Island

Cumberland Eco System

Cumberland Island, the most perfectly preserved of Georgia’s barrier islands located in Camden County, is unique. There is no other place like it anywhere. It sits close to the mainland at the southern-most tip of Georgia and although it has been inhabited for over 4,000 years, man has trod lightly here.

The American island can be divided into three eco systems: saltwater marsh, maritime forest and beach. The marshes are the first view of the island, which can only be reached by boat. The National Park Service provides ferry service. Private and charter boats also visit the island.

Inland the huge oaks sprawl near the ground providing a haven for birds, squirrels and weary hikers. You will spot the newest addition to the island’s animal population, an armadillo, as he rustles through the underbrush, poking his snout in the soft sand searching for an easy meal. In the evenings, raccoons amble out of the woods to snack on crabs and shellfish.

Feral horses grazing on Cumberland Island

The island grass has been grazed as neatly as if trimmed by a mower, the result of the feral horses and wild deer. Nestled into the crooks of branches, the Resurrection Fern spring to life after every rain. Bright flashes of red, blue and yellow dart among the branches as island birds announce their presence with burst of song. Deep in the forest, small rain-fed ponds glisten in the sun. Occasionally, the eyeballs of a lone alligator break the surface.

On the eastern side, the forests are thick with undergrowth. The Saw Palmetto intertwines with vines and grasses to form an almost impenetrable barrier to the dunes beyond. Only a few dirt roads and trails cross this wilderness allowing visitors access to the beach. White sand, broken only by deer and horse hoof prints, forms the dune crests. Atlantic breakers tease small sea birds playing at water’s edge, scurrying to and fro with the waves’ rhythm.

Occasionally, humans and horses disturb the pristine shoreline, weaving their way through driftwood at the high-water mark.

At night, sea turtles lumber ashore to lay eggs in over 200 nests. Then, 60 days later, guided by instinct, the newly-hatched babies rush home to the sea, according to a National Park Service resource specialist.

Cumberland’s History

The island’s horses are a relic of many cultures. Spanish explorers visited Cumberland Island in the mid-1500s. When they left, a few Arabian and Barb horses were abandoned. Shortly after the Revolutionary War, General Nathaniel Greene planned his home on the site of an old hunting camp belonging to General Oglethorpe.

Greene died before it could be built. His wife, Catherine, continued with his plans and constructed an elegant four-storey mansion she named ‘Dungeness’. Catherine and her second husband, Phineas Miller, and her children operated a vast sea island cotton plantation and used many kinds of horses. After the Civil War, they abandoned the island. Many horses stayed.

In 1882, Thomas Carnegie acquired most of the island and built a replica of a Scottish castle on the site of the Dungeness ruins keeping the name, Dungeness. When Thomas died in 1886, his wife, Lucy, continued using Dungeness as a seasonal home for many years. Gradually, the magnificent showplace fell into disrepair. A fire ravaged it in 1959, leaving only a skeleton. The horses, their gene pool increased by the Carnegies’ fancy, saddle-horses, now graze on the once-manicured lawns of Dungeness.

The Carnegies later deeded most of their land to the National Park Service, so today 90 percent of the island is a national park. Cumberland Island offers a nature lovers’ paradise with miles of hiking trails, dirt roads and sandy beaches. The Carnegies specified that the land was never to be developed and remain preserved as a national park.

Of the other Carnegie mansions originally existing on the island, Greyfield is the only one in actual public use. It operates as an inn and was the site of J.F.K. Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s wedding reception.

Plum Orchard, a wedding present from Lucy Carnegie to her son George and his bride, Margaret Thaw, is open for tours. It offers a glimpse of life among the wealthiest families in America. Ginger Cox, the ranger who led my tour, told us: “This was once literally a plum orchard, thus the name.”

She explained why the lawn looked so well-manicured in the middle of the wilderness. “There are more than 200 horses roaming the island. Since there is only so much grassland, competition is fierce and the strongest horses get the best grazing spots.”

Beach at Cumberland Island

Cumberland’s Future

Retired park ranger, Zack Kirkland, told of a letter written to the park service by a man who visited the island. He wrote about a deserted beach. He looked up, saw a crowd of people approaching and got angry at seeing other people on his beach. As the crowd came closer, he realized these were not people, but horses. The man urged the park service: “Never to increase the limit of 300 people per day allowed on the island”.

Presently, there is neither McDonalds nor Starbucks on the island. The only traffic you need to worry about is that line of feral horses crossing the island’s main dirt road. Unfortunately, that may change. This pristine natural wonderland is threatened with a proposed subdivision to be built about a quarter-of-a-mile from the national park’s sea camp. Hopefully, such desecration of a natural treasure can be stopped.

You must visit Cumberland Island to fully appreciate its natural beauty and wildlife but I fear you must visit it soon or it will succumb to change and become just another tangle of beachfront subdivisions.

WSPR on the MK808 under Picuntu...Not Recommended

Time to try WSPR on the MK808 under Picuntu. Using the same method as previously used it installed without issue. I plugged in the IMIC and let it run on 20m

First thing I noted was that the waterfall display was flickering and alternating between two completely different displays. The second thing I noticed was that the "sound card calibration values" at the bottom left of the screen were not at their normal 1.00 ish but were at around 0.5. Not surprisingly I got no decodes. I tried adjusting a whole load of settings but still no decodes. I tried the IMIC under Ubuntu and it worked fine. Time to move on to other projects.

The other issue with Picuntu is its screen resolution. It ONLY supports 1080P mode so if you have an HDMI display with any other resolution it looks terrible, text looks particularily badly defocussed. Especially bad was.the display when I hooked the MK808 up to the Lapdocks HDMI input.

Until things improve, (I hear RC3.0 is on the way) WSPR on the MK808 is  not recommended!

  1. RC 3.0 has support for VGA which might help I believe there are a host of new modules and driver support as well. Would be good to see you succeed here I too am playing with Picuntu on a UG007 and have successfully plugged in a USB sound Card I dont think it would be too difficult.

I Love This!

Cannabis Quilting

I love everything about this.
Beginning July 1, 2015, it will be legal to use cannabis recreationally in Oregon.
I currently have a medical card, but it’s still very exciting – even historical!

I began making a quilt at the fall PMQG retreat last October with every intention of quilting a big ole cannabis leaf on it. I’m calling it the Green Cross Quilt… and I’m loving it so far!

It’s not finished yet, but I was able to use a long arm machine at Just Quilting earlier today to do this quilting. There is a bit more to do, and then the binding – but I should finish it just in time to commemorate the big occasion. The results of this quilting adventure is making me so happy! I keep petting the quilt…

Green Cross Quilt on the longarm

Cannabis helps me sleep, and helps with my nausea… and changes my perspective a bit when I start to become negative. Yes, it can make me sleepy sometimes, but that’s about the worst side effect I’ve had. It also helped me kick a few addictions that were truly bad for me.

Beyond medicinal and recreational use, hemp is a fast-growing natural resource for paper, clothing and fuel. In fact, Americans used to be able to pay their taxes in hemp! more…

Obviously I am pro-plant. How about you?

Super-stacked Stephanie Stalls is a wild one on stage when she tours North America as a feature dancer and she's gotten increasingly wilder and hotter since she arrived at SCORE in late 2009. Stephanie has gone from solo spreading and toying to boy-girl action to hot anal sex and now she blows through another speed limit sign. The lusty, busty brunette goes for maximum heat in her first threesome with two studs who double penetrate her, filling her pussy and butt. Stephanie can handle it as you will see. There are very few SCORE Girls who can take a DP. Daphne Rosen and Holly Halston are well-known for their DPs but it's still uncharted waters that the majority of SCORE Girls don't want to sail in although some will sex it with two guys minus any anal. And SCORE Guys are divided over seeing DP. About a third like them; one-fifth say it's too much male in the way; another third would rather see a threesome with two big-boobed girls and one guy (the #1 male… Read More »

Big Tits & Anal
Now a redhead, Stephanie Stalls is a take-charge girl. Fuck yeah, she's take-charge and that includes getting a dicking-down. Stephanie's on her deck lounger talking to her girlfriend and making plans to go out later that evening. She's only wearing bikini bottoms because she wants some sun. Meanwhile, behind the deck, Peter is washing her car. He's never seen Stephanie before. He'll need a cold water hosing himself after they get "acquainted." After her phone chat, Stephanie shoots some selfies. She needs a wide-angle to get all of her huge tits in the pics. Peter watches her from behind and photobombs her. He's flipping out over the stacked sweater-stretcher. Stephanie sees him in the reflection of her phone and begins teasing him. As flexible as a rubber band, Stephanie does some of her hot, impressive stage moves that produce erections during her strip club shows. She spreads her legs wide, wide and wider. This drives Peter close to a meltdown. After Stephanie has her fun, she wants more fun and tells him to come over. They make out for a few seconds, then Stephanie pulls him inside the house. While he's sucking and squeezing her bra-busting bazooms, she plays with his cock and balls. After she blows a tune on his skin-flute, he fucks her tits. This is mandatory with a girl with tits like hers. They get down to the dicking and after Stephanie does breast-bouncing deep-knee squats on his pole, she wants more and cries, "Fuck my ass, baby! Oh, c'mon, fuck the shit out of it, oh, yeah!" That's our Stephanie. Always all in.

Stick What Up My Ass?
Stephanie Stalls is not a sex object. Whenever there's a chance for sex, Stephanie never objects. Professional dickslinger Juan passes by the SCORE dressing room and sees a girl he recognizes. We should hope so. "Oh shit, that's Stephanie Stalls," Mr. Largo says. "I banged her the last time she was here." He did indeed. Who forgets a babe stacked like Stephanie? Ah, the boring life of a stunt-stud. Largo walks over to Stephanie and gives her ass a good smack. Stephanie spins around and says "Who the hell...?" Then recognizes Largo. They hug it out and Largo gives her a spin, complimenting Stephanie on her super-busty stripper body. The discussion turns to Largo's above-average dick. "Why don't you let me see it?" Juan pulls his hose out of his fly and Stephanie squats in front of him. She palms it and marvels at how big it is, comparing it to her forearm. A smile and a look of happiness crosses her lips. "That is so huge," she gushes. But can she handle that in her ass? "Sure," Stephanie says. "But first you're gonna have to lube me up with a butt plug." Stephanie sits back in the make-up chair and takes off her panties. "Look what I have for you," says Largo, waving a big Doc Johnson special as big as his own dick. Stephanie opens her legs wide and Largo sticks the toy cock into her butthole. Stephanie's opened and ready now. She's not going to get more open and ready than now. He escorts her to the bedroom and begins sucking on her nipples, fucking her huge tits, and fingering both holes with one hand. How in the hell is Stephanie going to get his junk all the way inside her butt? Seeing is believing.

Champagne Room Boom Boom
Stephanie Stalls is an aggressive woman, a sexual blow-torch, and she needs an aggressive man to satisfy her. After handing her fuck-friend a glass of champagne, Stephanie takes off her bra to give him an eye-popping look at what's in store. Her big boobs get a manhandling and a sucking. At one moment during their breastapalooza, he feeds Stephanie one of her own nipples to happily suck. Pouring the remainder of the champagne all over her tits, Stephanie wants him to lick it off. Peeling off her skimpy panties, Stephanie lays back on the bed, her legs spread wide, her pussy waiting to be finger-plugged and then tongue-lashed. She sucks on one of her nipples while he's driving his tongue into her pink cooch. Stephanie is gagging for the cock to slide into her throat. He pours some of the bubbly on his rod. Her eyes light up. She digs that. She sticks her tongue out as far as she can to catch some of the pour and gets wild on his dick. Stephanie wants cock between her huge tits. Whatever Stephanie wants, she gets and she wants her bazooms banged rough and fast before they fuck. She sticks her tongue out to flick the head as it reaches her face. When he drives his cock into this huge-titted stripper like a ramrod, Stephanie's tits shake and quake. She's getting the wham-bam slam-dance, nasty talking and spanking she wanted. Her screams fill the room as they fuck in different positions. When he's ready to blast his nut, she jerks him off into her mouth, and when he's drained, she looks at the camera with a satisfied, happy smile. Stephanie Stalls is not a porn star who has the guy do it all while she lays there. Stephanie is a high-energy SCORE Girl who pulls out all the stops.

Questions for a Gambler

compulsive gambler

If you think you may be a compulsive gambler or have a serious problem, here are some questions to ask yourself (or get someone to ask you).

There’s no point in lying – especially to yourself – especially now.

So be as honest as you can!

Am I a Compulsive Gambler?

1Would your friends and family say you are a gambling addict?
2Have you ever tried to stop or control your gambling?
3Do you gamble longer than you planned?
4Do you often gamble until your cash is gone and your account/cards are empty?
5Do you lose time from work due to gambling?
6Is gambling making your home life unhappy?
7Has gambling ever cost you a job or other opportunity?
8Is gambling causing a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
9Have you ever felt guilty after gambling?
10Do you wake up in the morning and feel an urge to return to gambling?
11Do you plan your day around your gambling?
12Have you ever borrowed money to fund your gambling or got into financial difficulties?
13Does your gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
14Do you ever gamble to escape worry or trouble?
15Do you feel the need to celebrate or reward yourself with a bit of gambling?
16Do arguments, disappointments, or frustration create within you an urge to gamble?
17Does your gambling make you careless of the welfare of your family?
18Have you ever sold anything to finance your gambling?
19Are you finding you need more gambling & bigger bets to get the same excitement?
20Do you gamble alone?
21Do you lie to cover up your gambling?
22Have you ever considered killing yourself as a result of your gambling?

Compulsive Gambler Results – How did you do?

  • 1-4 PointsA person without a problem / addiction will typically score 4 or less, but there are still signs
    of a problem beginning that you need to address before they get worse
  • 5-12 PointsA person with a compulsion or full blown addiction will say YES
    to at least 5 of the questions
  • 13-22 PointsA person is who is no longer in control of their gambling activity will answer YES to 13 questions or more, and certainly YES to:

[Qu.2]:     have you ever tried to stop before
[Qu.19]:   lying to keep your gambling secret

If you score over 5 then you’re in the most expensive club in the world to join.

And you need to contact GA or Gamcare pronto.

• Tribes Coming Together For California Online Gambling

    20 August 2010

    It looks like support is coming together for one last push for legalized online gambling in California.  The question now: Is there enough time?  There is less than two weeks left for any bill to pass the state Legislature but the Morongo Band of Mission Indians is trying to form a coalition to get it done.

    According to Morongo spokesman Patrick Dorinson, 21 tribes have either signed up for or sent documents in to join the California Online Poker Association.  This is a considerable improvement over the past year and a half of tribal fighting over internet poker.

    The next step according to Dorinson is to put the new coalition in action if needed.

    “We expect quite a few more signatures before midnight. We’re very pleased; we will use the coalition to try to get legislation passed to make it happen. Our next step is to go through the session to see if anything will come of the (Sen. Rod) Wright bill, and if not, prepare for next year.”

    Senator Wright has a bill that would allow up to three hub operators each with a 20 year contract to conduct online gambling to California residents. The importance of these tribes now joining the association is that they will automatically be apart of the Tribal LLC for Internet Gaming and thus in the running for one of the hubs.

    Wrights bill has already been heard by the Governmental Organization Committee and been voted down. The issue now though, according to Dorinson, is his bill is the only one far enough along in the process to even have a shot at getting passed. There are still some concerns among the tribe that internet gambling will have negative impact on the bricks-and-mortar casino ventures and the people that are employed by them. It is a concerned by everyone but at least for now, the tribal consensus shows a want for online gaming in California.

    Senator Wright however acknowledging earlier this summer that more would have to be done to get everything worked out but also warned of what was at stake. He said that in the next ten years, annual gross gaming revenue from California will range from $1.7 to $2.1 billion.

TELEVISION DOCUMENTARY: Examines the slum areas of Cincinnati, Ohio, and provides extensive views of substandard housing in various parts of the city. Describes the problems of the uneducated and unemployed who cannot escape from poverty, but finds a “ray of hope” in a young school child. Offers no solution for eliminating urban poverty, but states that everyone “must try.”

While some of the technological presentation and the intellectual framework are certainly outdated, it is a glimpse into how America thought about poverty during the LBJ administration and the famous “War on Poverty.”

Attachment: definition

Attachment can be defined as an emotional bond between two people in which each seeks closeness and feels more secure when in the presence of the attachment figure.

1 of 36

Explanations of Attachment

Learning Theory

Description: Learning theory suggests attachment develops through classical and operant conditioning. It is a nurture theory. According to classical conditioning food (UCS) produces pleasure (UCR). The child simply associates food and mother together. The mother becomes the conditioned stimulus and happiness becomes the conditioned response…attachment has formed.

Attachment can also be learned by operant conditioning. The presence of the caregiver is reinforcing for the infant. The infant gains pleasure / reward as they are being fed. The behaviour of the infant is reinforcing for the caregiver (the caregiver gains pleasure from smiles etc. – reward). The reinforcement process is therefore reciprocal (two way) and strengthens the emotional bond / attachment between the two.

2 of 36

Explanations of Attachment

Evaluation: Schaffer and Emerson found less than half of infants had a primary attachment to the person who usually fed them. Harlow’s research suggested monkeys became attached to the soft surrogate mother rather than the one who fed it. Lorenz found goslings imprinted on the first moving object they saw which suggest attachment is innate and not learnt.

3 of 36

Explanations of Attachment

Bowlby's Theory

DescriptionBowlby’s theory of attachment suggests attachment is important for a child’s survival. Attachment behaviours in both babies and their caregivers have evolved through natural selection. This means infants are biologically programmed with innate behaviours that ensure that attachment occurs.

For example – social releasers, such as smiling and making eye contact ensure that an adult caregiver pays attention to the infant and so meets its short term needs of food and shelter, as well as the long term needs of social skills.

This theory also suggests that there is a critical period for developing at attachment (about 0 -5 years). If an attachment has not developed during this period then the child will suffer from irreversible developmental consequences, such as reduced intelligence and increased aggression.

The child’s relationship with a primary care giver provides an internal working model which influences later relationships. This concept of monotropy suggests that there is one relationship which is more important than all the rest.

4 of 36

Explanations of Attachment

Evaluation: Bowlby's Maternal Deprivation, is however, supported by Harlow's (1958) research with monkeys. He showed that monkeys reared in isolation from their mother suffered emotional and social problems in older age. The monkey's never formed an attachment (privation) and as such grew up to be aggressive and had problems interacting with other monkeys.

Konrad Lorenz (1935) supports Bowlby's maternal deprivation hypothesis as the attachment process of imprinting is an innate process.

Critics such as Rutter have also accused Bowlby of not distinguishing between deprivation and privation – the complete lack of an attachment bond, rather than its loss. Rutter stresses that the quality of the attachment bond is the most important factor, rather than just deprivation in the critical period.

The Strange Situation

Ainsworth and Bell (1971) conducted a controlled observation recording the reactions of a child and mother (caregiver), who were introduced to a strange room with toys. In the strange situation about 100 middle-class American infants and their mothers took part. The infant’s behaviour was observed during a set of pre-determined activities.

The Strange Situation procedure involved the child experiencing eight ‘episodes’ of approximately 3 minutes each.

The child is observed playing for 20 minutes while caregivers and strangers enter and leave the room, recreating the flow of the familiar and unfamiliar presence in most children's lives. Observers noted the child’s willingness to explore, separation anxiety, stranger anxiety and reunion behaviour.

Ainsworth & Bell observed from the other side of a one-way mirror so that the children did not know that they were being observed.

7 of 36

The Strange Situation

Secure Resistant = 70%

The main characteristics of this attachment type are:

(i) Infants are upset when left alone by the mother.

(ii) Infants are happy when mother returns and seek contact with the mother.

(iii) Infants avoid the stranger when alone, but friendly when the mother is present.

(iv) The infants uses the mother as a safe base to explore their environment.

This type of attachment occurs because the mother meets the emotional needs of the infant.

8 of 36

The Strange Situation

Insecure Avoidant = 15%

The main characteristics of this attachment type are:

(i) Infants are unconcerned by mother’s absence when she leaves the room.

(ii) Infants shows little interest when they are reunited with the mother (i.e. she returns to the room).

(iii) Infants are strongly avoidant of mother and stranger, showing no motivation to interact with either adult. The stranger is treated similar to the mother (does not seek contact).

This type of attachment occurs because the mother ignores the emotional needs of the infant.

9 of 36

The Strange Situation

Insecure resistant = 15%

The main characteristics of this attachment type are:

(i) infants are clingy to their mother in a new situation and are not willing to explore – suggesting that they do not have trust in her.

(ii) they are extremely distressed when left alone by their mother.

(iii) they cannot be comforted by a stranger and will not interact with them – they treat the stranger and the mother very differently.

(iv) when the mother returns they are pleased to see her and go to her for comfort, but then cannot be comforted and may show signs of anger towards her.

This type of attachment occurs because the mother sometime meets the needs of the infant and sometimes ignores their emotional needs, i.e. the mother's behaviour is inconsistent.

10 of 36

The Strange Situation

A problem of the study is that it lacks of population validity. The original study used American infants. The study tells us about how this particular group behaves and cannot be generalised to the wider population and other cultures.

Another criticism of the study is that it has low ecological validity, and the results may not be applicable outside of the lab. The environment of the study was controlled and the eight scripted stages of the procedure (e.g. mum and stranger entering and leaving the room at set times) would be unlikely to happen in real life.

One strength of the study is that it is easy to replicate. This is because it follows a standardised procedure involving the 8 episodes of the mother and stranger entering the leaving the room.

Cultural Differences

Research Procedure

Van Ijzendoorn & Kroonenberg (1988) did not collect the data for their study, instead they analysed data from other studies using a method called meta analysis. Data from 32 studies in 8 different countries was analyzed.

All the 32 studies used the strange situation procedure to study attachment. Using a meta analysis (statistical technique) they calculated the average percentage for the different attachment styles (e.g. secure, avoidant, resistant) in each country.

12 of 36

Cultural Differences

Research Findings

Van Ijzendoorn & Kroonenberg found that secure attachment was the majority of infants (70%). The lowest percentage of secure attachments was shown in China, and the highest in Great Britain. It was also found that Western countries that support independence such as Germany had high levels of insecure avoidant.

Whereas Eastern countries that are more culturally close, such as Japan, had quite high levels of insecure resistant. The exception to the pattern was China which an equal number of avoidant and resistant infants

13 of 36

Cultural Differences

One problem is that many of the studies used in the meta analysis had biased samples which cannot claim to be representative of each culture. For example, only 36 infants where used in the Chinese study which is a very small sample size for such a populated country. Also most of the studies analyzed where from Western cultures.

The Strange Situation was created and tested in the USA, which means that it may be culturally biased (ethnocentric), as it will reflect the norms and values of American culture. This is a problem as it assumes that attachment behaviour has the same meaning in all cultures, when in fact cultural perception and understanding of behavior differ greatly.

For example, the belief that attachment is related to anxiety on separation. This may not be the case in other cultures, e.g. Japan.

14 of 36

Disruption of Attachment

Disruption of attachment occurs when children have formed an attachment and are then separated from their attachment figure. There are a number of situations in which an attachment can be broken either temporarily, for example by hospitalisation or permanently through death.

15 of 36

Disruption of Attachment

Short Term Effects (PDD Model)

Robertson and Bowlby (1952) believe that short term separation from an attachment figure leads to distress.

They found 3 progressive stages for distress (i.e. the PDD model):

Protest: The child cries, screams and protests angrily when the parent leaves. Panic is usual. This can last from a few hours to a few weeks!

Despair: The child’s protesting begins to stop and they appear to be calmer although still upset. The child refuses others’ attempts for comfort and often seems withdrawn and uninterested in anything (i.e. apathetic). They continue to cry occasionally and call for mother.

Detachment: The child cries less and is more interested its surroundings and will start to engage with other people again.

Onlookers may think that the child is getting over the separation, whereas in fact the child is hiding its feelings. When the mother returns the child shows little interest and may even be angry or push the mother away. However, the attachment is soon rebuilt.

Note, the initial distress varies according to the attachment security and gender of the child. If the child is securely attached it copes better with separation. If the child is avoidant then it gets the full blown PDD effects.

16 of 36

Disruption of Attachment

Long Term Effects - Maternal Deprivation

Bowlby’s Maternal Deprivation Hypothesis suggests that continual disruption of the attachment between infant and primary caregiver (i.e. mother) could result in long term cognitive, social, and emotional difficulties for that infant. Bowlby originally believed the effects to be permanent and irreversible.

Use the acronym - ADDIDDAS: Aggression, Delinquency, Dwarfism, Intellectual retardation, Depression, Dependency, Affectionless Psychopathy, Social maladjustment.

Affectionless psychopathy is an inability show affection or concern for others. Such of individuals act on impulse with little regard for the consequences of their actions. For example, showing no guilt for antisocial behavior.

17 of 36

Disruption of Attachment

John (aged seventeen months) was put into a fairly typical residential nursery for nine days while his mother had a second child in hospital. His father was at work all day, and there were no relatives nearby to look after him. Nurses were not assigned to the care of individual children and even when John managed to obtain their attention they soon had to put him down to tend to one of the others. John’s protests and anger were ignored.

He entered a period of despair which lasted for several days. He started to cry pitifully, for long periods of time. Now the nurses gave John all the attention they could, but it was nowhere near enough. He began to refuse food, and he wouldn’t sleep. With each day that passed John’s condition worsened. His cries of distress became huge sobs of despair.

As the separation neared its end, John’s behaviour changed again. He stopped trying to be near to the nurses. Instead he would play with whatever toys he could, particularly a large cuddly toy. He began to ignore his father on his nightly visits. John slowly became emotionally detached. When his mother finally came he didn’t seem to want to know her. He wouldn’t go to her, wouldn’t look at her, and resisted her attempts to comfort him.

The Robertson’s suggest that children who are separated from their mothers for several days will pass through the same sequence of behaviour as John.

The child will protest, and then despair, and then, if not attended to, the child will become emotionally detached.

Effects of Privation

Privation refers to situations where children do not form an attachment with anyone. Note, you need to describe the effects of privation - this means the results of research studies rather than the procedure (i.e. what happened).

19 of 36

Effects of Privation

Genie Case Study

One case study that has reported on the effects of failure to form an attachment is the case of Genie, reported by Curtiss in 1977. Genie was found at the age of 13. She had spent all her life severely neglected and possibly also abused. She had had little or no physical contact with either of her parents or her brother and no opportunity to interact with other people.

Results: When she was found, Genie’s motor skills were very poor, and so too were her language and cognitive skills. Her language did not develop properly, and she never got beyond communicating using basic speech, for example, ‘Go store bananas’ for ‘We need to go to the store to buy some bananas.’

20 of 36

Effects of Privation

Evaluation: Despite spending a period of time with a group of psychologists that worked hard to help her overcome the effects of her early experiences, she never fully recovered. However, she was able to develop attachments to her foster carers despite suffering from privation.

However, there are problems with this conclusion, as we cannot be sure that Genie’s developmental problems were not present from birth, and not due to experiencing privation.

21 of 36

Effects of Privation

Harlow's Monkey Study

Harlow again studied Rhesus monkeys using a lab experiment. He took babies and isolated them from birth. They had no contact with each other or anybody else. He kept some this way for three months, some for six, some for nine and some for the first year of their lives. He then put them back with other monkeys to see what effect their failure to form attachment had on behaviour.

Results: The monkeys engaged in bizarre behaviour such as clutching their own bodies and rocking compulsively. They were then placed back in the company of other monkeys. To start with the babies were scared of the other monkeys, and then became very aggressive towards them. They were also unable to communicate or socialise with other monkeys. The other monkeys bullied them. They indulged in self-mutilation, tearing hair out, scratching, and biting their own arms and legs.

Harlow concluded that privation is permanently damaging (to monkeys). The extent of the abnormal behaviour reflected the length of the isolation. Those kept in isolation for 3 months were the least affected, but those in isolation for a year never recovered the effects of privation.

22 of 36

Effects of Privation

Evaluation: Harlow’s work has been criticized. His experiments have been seen as unnecessarily cruel (unethical) and of limited value in attempting to understand the effects of deprivation on human infants.

In addition Harlow created a state of anxiety in female monkeys which had implications once they became parents. Such monkeys became so neurotic that they smashed their infant's face into the floor and rubbed in back and forth.

23 of 36

Effects of Institutional Care

Institutional care refers to situations where children spend part of their childhood in a hospital, an orphanage or a residential children’s home. Note, you need to describe the effects of institutional care - this means the results of research studies rather than the procedure (i.e. what happened).

24 of 36

Effects of Institutional Care

Hodges and Tizard

Procedure: Studied the social and emotional development of 65 children who had been in institutional care from only a few months old. The care provided was of good quality, but carers were discouraged from forming attachments with the children (i.e. privation occurred).

Also, the children had an average of 50 different caretakers by the age of 4. The study was also a natural experiment. The independent variable (what happened to the children at age 4) occurred naturally. Children either remained in the care home, were adopted or could have been restored to their biological parents.

The children were assessed for social and emotional competence at four, eight and sixteen years old (the DV). The assessment comprised interviewing the children, their parents and teachers and also obtaining data from questionnaires. This is known as a longitudinal study (lasted 12 years from ages 4 – 16 yrs).

25 of 36

Effects of Institutional Care

Findings: All the children who had spent their early years in institutions were more attention-seeking from adults and showed some difficulties in their social relationships, particularly with their peers. For example, the children were less likely to have friends or to be liked by their peers. They were more likely to be bullies. This shows that institutional care effects peer relationships.

Both the “restored” children and the adopted children were more likely to show attention seeking behaviour towards adults, even strangers. They also had a lack of fear of strangers; and made inappropriate physical contact with adults. Lack of checking back to parental figures in stressful situations – i.e. they did not use their caregiver as a safe base in times of anxiety.

26 of 36

Effects of Institutional Care

Evaluation: It was a natural experiment, therefore high in ecological validity but the extraneous variables were not controlled for example the adopted children might have been more socially able than the “restored” children and the children who remained in the institution.

Attrition was also a problem as it was a longitudinal study many participants dropped out.

Institutionalized children don’t just suffer emotional privation but also poor physical care such as bad diet and also lack of stimulation. As a result it is difficult to separate out the effects of privation and of physical care.

27 of 36

Day Care

Day care involves temporary care for a child provided by someone other than close family and taking place outside the home (excluding school). For example, nurseries or child minders.

28 of 36

Day Care

The impact of different forms of day care on children’s social development, including the effects on aggression and peer relations

Research has shown mixed results regarding the effects of day care on social development – with some showing beneficial effects and some showing harmful effects. Social development involves both peer relations and aggressive behaviour.

Peer relations includes how well children get on with other children. This could include the child’s ability to make friends and play cooperatively with other children. Aggression is behaviour intending to harm another person, it may be verbal or physical.

29 of 36

Day Care

Peer Relations

Shea (1981) video taped 3 and 4 year old children during play time in their first 10 weeks of nursery school. The method was a naturalistic observation. This was an independent group design with the two groups consisting of full time attendees (5 days a week) and part-time attendees (2/3 days a week). The time spent in day care was the naturally occurring independent variable. Levels of sociability (peer relationships) and aggression were the dependent variables.

He found that children from the full time group were more sociable in that they went looking for people to talk to, and made more contact with others. He also found that over a 10 week period aggressive behaviour decreased in all groups of children. Shea concluded from this that day care is a positive experience and it lowers aggression and increases social skills

30 of 36

Day Care

Evaluation: However, we should be cautious when wishing to apply these results to other situations as Shea only observed behaviour in one nursery. It is possible that something specific to either that nursery or those children could have contributed to the results. Extraneous variables such as the age at which children start day care and the time they spend there each week are also important, as is the quality of care they receive

Conversely, there are some positive evaluations to make here. The naturalistic nature of the study allows children to engage in normal, actual behaviours as they are in their normal setting. As such there can be said to be a high level of ecological validity. This is a measure of real life. As the study is not contrived or set up in any way there will be no demand characteristics (cues in the environment) to alter the child’s behaviour.

31 of 36

Day Care

Belsky (2002) conducted a longitudinal study researching the development of 1083 children across the USA. Children in extended hours of care (30 hours per week) were almost three times more likely to show aggressive behaviour than children attending less than 10 hours per week. Aggression included fighting, talking too much, arguments, cruelty, and demanding a lot of attention.

Day Care

How research into attachment has influenced child care practices

How do you answer a question like this?

You explain historically what the problems were then match a study up to it that fits and then say how it has changed now with time.

33 of 36

Day Care

Institutional Care

Historical problems: Carers told not to make attachments with children. Carers changed over time.

Key Study: Hodges and Tizad.

Change / influence

There are now key workers for each child who are encouraged to form attachments. This helps children's future social and emotional development. Institutions try and keep siblings together when possible. Many institutional care homes have now been shut down as well.

34 of 36

Day Care

Hospitalisation of Parent / Child

Historical problems: As late as the 1960s, there would be strict rules applied to parental visiting times and limits placed on our long parents could spend with their children. This could lead to young children going through the PDD model of behaviour (protest, despair, detachment).

Key Study: Robertson study of John in residential nursery.

Change / influence

Following the findings of Robertson and Robertson’s study that children require continuing emotional care and as much contact as possible with natural parents, visiting hours were extended. Today hospitals sometimes allow around the clock visiting hours

35 of 36

Day Care

Day Care Provision

Historical problems: Each nursery was different as there were no national standards for best practice.

Key Study: No Specific Study – Just say ‘Research shows…’

Change / influence

Children need fairly continuous, high-quality care. High-quality day care would include appropriate caregiver/children ratio, key worker, appropriate staff training, and low staff turnover. Child/staff ratios should be kept low. The NICHD recommend no higher than 3 children to each carer. Similarly children should be kept in small groups so fewer strangers need to be dealt with.
