No ad block needed. It doesn't matter how many ads are swirling around the periphery, Stay focused and ignore them.
Other than having to click each quote the site runs very smoothly. A lot of that type site have a long delay after you click, which is exasperating and makes me bail.

I assumed that's the ads loading, but maybe they have some sort of countdown timer on the page that keeps it from loading a new one for a set period of time so you have more of a chance to read the ads.

Authorized by Congress in 1965 as part of President Johnson’s Great Society program, the MEP provides educational services, from supplemental classes to private tutoring, to migrant children who struggle to keep up as they move from one school to another.

Here is something special, a virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum room by room, watch it in full screen. It's great technology, 360 degree viewing by using your cursor. Follow the blue arrows on the floor to move into new rooms.

Shows inside and outside of the museum and there little cameras here and there which show detailed info on certain things. If you click on the floors (upper right corner) you get a floor plan of that floor and you can click on a blue circle and go directly to that room.

Use the roller on your mouse to move in and out, or the +/- on the screen. Look for the "arrows" on the floor and click on them, they take you to other places.

Fun for children of all ages.

Wow. It's so empty. I've gotten there when it opens, and it's still packed with people.

That's pretty cool. I remember visiting the Smithsonian a few years back. It was a pretty enjoyable experience, though it was pretty packed.

Using 23 videos from random YouTubers playing instruments including drums, keyboards, guitars, saxophones, and even two cellos, Kutiman formulated a song that will astound you. Kutiman somehow manages to incorporate all of the players, from a six-year-old girl apparently practicing for a piano recital, to a guy busting out a guitar solo at the end.
