Good to hear! Especially when we lost 3-1
Good to hear! Especially when we lost 3-1
Responding to sarcasm with sarcasm!?
Didn't realise you were being sarcastic haha didn't see the game
He didn't win the PL one but at least Ollie won the MoTD one. Also means it's automatically nominated for goal of the season now if your thinking what I'm thinking
Didn't watch the game but don't need to to know that as long as Arsène is around this guy is a cancer just by his very ability to be selected by Arsène and give to the team what Arsène would consider 'tactical variation'.
As if leaving Alexis on the bench and playing Iwobi as the #10 is really "tactical variation".
You know Wenger, he would try everything to prove his point.
In the end he still believe Giroud is our best #9 and he would find any method to make Giroud as our starter again.
That's precisely my point, pal.
Eh, nah. You're implying that it's something he'd do because of him wanting to do something different or having "tactical variation", while leaving your best player on the bench for no reason is likely only something that can have different reasons.
It's as if he'd pick Ramsey as the #10 on Tuesday while having a completely fit Özil sitting on the bench. Not something you could explain as a football decision.
What for Wenger is tactical variation is playing Giroud against teams who theoretically will park the bus at home, and this:
Yeh, there's probably/maybe something more to Alexis not playing (who knows, it could be Wenger just trying to be tactical and shake things up, I wouldn't rule that out tbh), but anyways he probably would've started Alexis for Welbeck alongside Giroud and gone with that direct approach anyways.
Another problem I always had with Giroud is that he has always offered players who aren't instructed not to take it (as they don't have firm instructions at all, as we know), a cop-out, and that has always been detrimental to our play. Even Santi, Rosicky, and Arteta took this option more often than you'd like in past years.
We know what Giroud can bring us. It's all manager's fault.
Giroud had less touches in that first half than Mignolet! So I think it's safe to say that this "experiment" didn't really work. I still love the man though, his beard game is always on point
I would have thought over Ox or Iwobi. He would have still gone for Welbeck for his aerial abilities which seems reasonable.
With the players we had on the pitch, we should have made more of these opportunities because Liverpool are vulnerable from corners.
Which I'd argue even makes sense as we're so god damn sloppy and stupid at transitioning to make best use of our quick players.
We may as well go back to possession football.
I understand the hoof-ball method in a game like this but when you don't back that up with players that are technically sound enough to string passes off Giroud then what is the point?
The team really are playing atrociously at the moment and we can be quick to pick out players but under a new coach, they may flourish and I still believe Giroud is a decent back up option/plan B approach. Just wasn't the right call yesterday. At all.
It was so stupid to play Giroud in a game where counter attacking was the plan. Giroud acts like a defender for the opposition when counter attacking, he's literally only good at one thing, being a handful in the box. Other than that he can't run, dribble or pass properly 90% of the time.
Giroud is dogshit. Hope he's second out the door when we start to clear out our French pretenders.
Giroud has his faults and limitations, but come on now folks, he's far from the least of our worries at Arsenal.
Lol it'll be an adventure all right and not a good one
Yup, seriously there's no downing of tools here, there's no 'the manager's lost the dressing room'
They're all just poorly coached, badly prepared and with rock bottom confidence. The manager HAS the dressing room, but in a stupor! People like Ramsey sleepwalking through the season in his comfort bubble
I was wrong to change my mind earlier and draw any similarities with the Chelsea/Leicester situations, this is nearer to being at the opposite end of the spectrum

Produced by Radio Repertory Company of America
"Dissapointing Claudia & Patricia!!"
Loved watching Claudia as Susan Ivanova and Patricia in the role of Lyta Alexander in B5.
Now I cringe listening to two of my favourite female actors taking part in this terrible performance. Are they both so desperate that they need to be associated with such rubbish. (Sorry ladies!) These Anne Manx radio stories really are rubbish!
I keep trying to listen to this story and I find myself turing it off as the stupidity mounts. It's supposed to be funny, but the humor doesn't fit the story. Furthermore, the humor doesn't fit the age range of the intended reader... It's more like humor style from the "Honeymooners" or "I Love Lucy" TV show couched in what tries to be an adult sci-fi novel... I only found myself annoyed enough to turn it off.
"One of the best in a long time"
Make no mistake about it, this is a first-rate audio drama. There have been many attempts at science fiction comedy, some good and some not so good. This is one of the best around, on par with such greats as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." The script is fast-moving and amazingly funny, and if you blink at the wrong time, you'll miss some real gems. This is a script worth paying close attention to!
The characters are wonderful. In their own ways, they are all nicely eccentric, and their peculiarities play off each other to create amazingly funny situations.
A good story is brought to life by absolutely brilliant performances. It's hard to find words to describe the quality of the acting, especially by stars Claudia Christian and Patricia Tallman. The entire cast is clearly enjoying themselves in this performance, and does it ever come through!
All in all, there's a real energy in this program that carries the listener along. A fun story, interesting characters, and actors who clearly enjoy their work make this worth listening to.
"Fun and entertaining!"
This is by far the best audio production I have heard in a long time. It's a clever and funny take on the "future film noir" theme and has some very unexpected laugh-out-loud moments. Great characters. WARNING: Not for all sci-fi fans since it is often irreverent and plays fast and loose with the genre. But if you can take the heat it's a good time in the kitchen!
"Ok for the most part"
I thought the story line was more for 11-12 year olds, but the action was good and it kept me entertained
"I'm hoping the 9 Lives are used up"
I had high expectations of this as I'm a fan of most of the cast! I found it to be overt and inappropriate much of the time. The writers preoccupation with all things sexual was annoying to me. But hey...sex sells, right? Can't POSSIBLY have a story in the modern age without it...right?
Sadly I found the acting over the top...which makes me feel bad for saying because I just love the cast...OUTSIDE OF ANNE MANX that is.

Game 119: Boston's Clay Buchholz Beats Toronto Blue Jays, Roy Halladay, 6-1August 20, 2009
Note to Clay: it helps when the offense scores you a couple of runs, too.
Tonight, it all came together. After back-to-back starts in which he opposed Joba Chamberlain (NYY) and Justin Verlander (DET) and his offense scored a grand total of zero runs, Buchholz faced Toronto ace Roy Halladay.
It could have proved to be another one of those frustrating nights for the young righthander, but Jason Bay and David Ortiz again led the offense as the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays, 6-1, in Toronto.
Buchholz allowed just one run on six hits and a walk in six innings pitched. While he struggled to get through the fourth and sixth innings, he kept his emotions in check and was able to avoid the big inning.
His new favorite Blue Jay is 3B Edwin Encarnacion, whom he retired to end the threats in both the fourth and sixth.
Afterwards, he said: "It's been a whole lot better for me so far this year, being back up, just getting outs in key situations and making some key pitches and minimizing damage. It's going well right now."
Meanwhile, at the plate, Bay and Ortiz continued their recent white-hot performances. Bay had just one hit, but that one base knock was a line drive, two-run home run (No. 27) over the wall in left field. It was Bay's seventh home run in his last eleven games and he has driven in 12 runs in those games.
And lest we should forget Big Papi, he had two more hits, including a solo home run (No. 19). It was the third consecutive game in which Papi went yard, the first time he has done that since July 2006. He is 7-for-16 with four home runs and seven RBI in his last five games.
Victor Martinez had two more hits, including his fourth home run since being acquired on July 31. He also drove in his 13th run this month.
The Sox moved a game ahead of Texas in the AL Wild Card race as Texas blew another lead against Minnesota and lost, 5-4, in Arlington, Texas.
Ortiz gave the Sox an early lead with a leadoff homer in the second inning.
After the game, manager Terry Francona said: "He's making a concerted effort every day…He's staying with it and you're seeing some more aggressive swings without trying to muster up all the strength and the bat's getting through the zone a little bit better."
Toronto starter Halladay, who many in Red Sox Nation wanted in a Red Sox uniform (even if the cost included Buchholz), allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks in five innings pitched—it was only the third time in 24 starts he has failed to work at least seven innings.
Bay said it was obvious Halladay was struggling with his control: "Usually he's pounding the zone, but he was more erratic with his command tonight. We're a team that if you don't throw a lot of strikes, we'll make you throw a lot of pitches a lot of the time. For whatever reason he wasn't as crisp…"
After Ortiz put the Sox up in the second inning, Casey Kotchman reached on an infield single, stole second base, and scored on Alex Gonzalez's RBI-single to double the lead. The Sox scored again in the top of the fourth inning on a single by Gonzalez and an RBI-triple by Jacoby Ellsbury.
After Buchholz retired nine of the first 10 batters in the game, he labored through the fourth inning. He went to three-ball counts on four of the six batters he faced and allowed the first Blue Jays run of the game. He fell behind 3-0 to both Aaron Hill (single) and Lyle Overbay (walk).
Vernon Wells then got ahead in the count (3-1) before lining an RBI-single into right-center field. With the tying runs on base, Buchholz threw a brilliant changeup to strike out DH Randy Ruiz for the second out. Once again, C-Buck fell behind in the count to Encarnacion, but he extricated himself with an outstanding, 84-mph curve ball on the outside corner that the third baseman beat into the ground for an inning-ending ground out.
Bay laced his two-run home run in the fifth inning to make the score 5-1.
Buchholz retired the side in order in the fifth inning, but again got into a jam in the sixth inning. Adam Lind, Vernon Wells, and Randy Ruiz each singled to load the bases with two outs, but the Red Sox RHP retired Encarnacion on a fly ball to center field. It would be the last pitch the native of Nederland, Texas would throw tonight.
Boston relievers Ramon Ramirez, Hideki Okajima, and Takashi Saito each pitched a hitless inning of relief to close out the Jays.
After Martinez hit a two-out home run in the ninth, Toronto reliever Brandon League hit Kevin Youkilis (in the elbow) with a pitch. Undaunted, Youk just jogged to first base.
Of the HBP, he said: "I've got no more comments. That's how I'm going to handle it from here on out. When I get hit by a pitch, I've got no comment."
RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka will pitch in a Gulf Coast League game next Monday, then head to Boston to visit with doctors. If all goes well, he'll pitch for Double-A Portland on August 29 and at Triple-A Pawtucket on September 3.
Dustin Pedroia is expected to rejoin the team tomorrow after flying to Boston on Tuesday to be with his wife as she gave birth to the couple's first child.

The Behavior of Dogs (and Homo Sapiens)
Published: September 6, 2006
To the Editor:
Re ''Pack of Lies,'' by Mark Derr (Op-Ed, Aug. 31), about Cesar Millan, the star of the ''Dog Whisperer'' on the National Geographic Channel:
Cesar Millan is not a dog trainer. His clients are humans in trouble as a result of their inability to control their adult pets.
The problem is with the humans, Mr. Millan says, and he's almost always right.
Mr. Millan's methods aren't ''confrontational'' or intimidating. The idea is to make the human owner the benevolent ''leader of the pack.'' These techniques aren't used on young puppies or on the family pup who obeys every rule.
Fans of Cesar Millan ''get it.'' We watch his TV show with delight as man, woman and unruly cur are saved once again.
Cesar Millan is an inspiration, without a cruel bone in his body. Most ''Dog Whisperer'' fans are adult middle-aged women. As primary caregivers, we want something that's efficient and gets the job done.
''Hail Cesar!'' We have finally found it!
Kathleen S. Mueller
Spencer, Mass., Aug. 31, 2006
To the Editor:
Hurrah for Mark Derr's article.
In 25 years of living with dogs, I've learned that they are social creatures with complicated and surprising personalities and, like people, must be treated as individuals.
To simply cow them into submission and call that good behavior reflects more on the twisted ego of the trainer than on the character of the dog.
Philip Gerard
Wilmington, N.C., Aug. 31, 2006
To the Editor:
Mark Derr's criticism of Cesar Millan misses an essential point: Most dog owners and, unfortunately, most so-called dog trainers, are not behaviorists or animal ethologists. And most dog owners cannot afford to hire someone who will take weeks or months to train an unruly pet.
Mr. Millan's formula of exercise, discipline and affection works on all but the most extreme cases because the dog is, first and foremost, an animal with needs that cannot be ignored.
Chief among these is the need for exercise, which in most families is also a need of the human members that goes unmet.
Exercise works wonders because it satisfies much of the natural need for play that can quickly turn to aggression if not fulfilled.
Many dog owners believe that they can love their dogs into good, companionable behavior, and become frustrated or frightened when that love proves inadequate to the task.
Mr. Derr's point, that dominance is not the answer, simply ignores the more salient and central message of Cesar Millan's method: that dogs, and people, need structure to feel secure.
Julie Shemitz
Sherman Oaks, Calif., Sept. 1, 2006
To the Editor:
Finally, an accurate discussion of the ''Dog Whisperer.''
His methods are dangerous, and his fame and apparent gift make it difficult to disagree with his methods.
I face clients every day with aggressive dogs that would have never become aggressive if their owners weren't trying to be the ''pack leader.''
I consulted with a woman who loved her dog, but he was biting her -- no one else, just her.
After I explained that the methods she had been using were causing her dog's problem and discussed what she needed to do, she looked at me and said, ''Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can I cuddle with my dog?''
The answer for this dog was absolutely yes. It is so sad that depriving one's dog of attention has become a way to treat its behavior problems.
Some dogs do have problems with dominance; most of them do not, and labeling a dog with the wrong diagnosis is just as harmful as recommending the wrong treatment program.

One of the projects for July in the charity group that I knit for, is called "Father's House, International" and this particular group is sending things to the Ukraine and Kenya...
This one's going to Kenya...I knit it with shorter sleeves and bit of a larger hood...
...and all in 100% cotton!
...so, it should be nice and soft and cool for some child against the burning sun.
I would have gotten a few other shots of the warm ones that will be going to the Ukraine, but, the light of day left me, and the webcam HATES lamplight.
Robert, I'm SO
I'm SO impressed!!!
all of these tops are WONDERFUL!
You get stars in heaven for all the work you're doing for children in need!!!
Robert.......what a great
Robert.......what a great gift to less fortunate children around the world. Would you be willing to share the pattern and the charity involved?
Visit Crafty Andy's Blog
These are really lovely
These are really lovely Robert, and some child will feel very special to receive one. When I knit for the Red Cross (when I lived in England) we also knitted in wool for Africa, because the nights can be bitterly cold. What's the charity you knit for, and where is it based?

2010 FIFA World Cup: The Dark Side of Wayne RooneyJune 7, 2010
Wayne Rooney is England's main man.
He has said that if he comes away from the World Cup as the greatest player in the world, he'll be happy as England will have won the World Cup.
He's right.
If Wayne Rooney can perform like he has this season for Manchester United, England will be able to do great things.
He is capable of lifting the whole team's spirit and pushing them to greater success.
Rooney has 25 goals for England in 60 appearances and creates plenty of chances for himself. He is integral to the side.
However, there is a darker side to Wayne Rooney. He is renowned for having a bit of a temper.
Famously during the last World Cup, Rooney was sent off.
He stamped on Ricardo Carvalho whilst they were both trying to win the ball. He then shoved Ronaldo, a club team mate on Man U, before being sent off.
England would go on to lose the penalty shoot out.
This wasn't an isolated incident.
Rooney has been booked 84 times in his career and been sent off 4 times.
A lot of this is due to his combative style of play. He is a hard worker who tries to win the ball back if he loses it (as can be seen in the NIKE advert).
However, he is a player who you can often see looking for a fight.
He is sometimes guilty of tackles from behind after losing the ball, a high arm or a trailing leg.
He also gets himself into trouble by being petulant.
He has been sent off for clapping the referee, booked for not giving the ball back for a free kick and barely avoided being sent off for elbowing an opponent in the face.
Recently, Wayne seems to have cooled off.
Last season he wasn't sent off and was booked just 8 times. The previous season he was booked 13 times and sent off once.
However, this evening in a warm up game against the Platinum Stars, a South African domestic team, Rooney put in two big tackles before being booked for dissent.
He was promptly given a lecture by English coach Stuart Pearce.
Is this a return to his old ways which forced Sven Goran-Eriksson to sub Rooney off before he got himself sent off?
Or is it just a one-time freak out?
Hopefully Rooney has got the less desirable side of his game out of the way before the World Cup starts.
England can't afford to have anything but the best from Wayne Rooney during this tournament.

Strategic talks with Pakistan not at India's expense: USMarch 24th, 2010 - 11:28 am ICT by IANS
Washington, March 24 (IANS) Suggesting that its strategic dialogues with various countries were not a zero-sum game, the US has stressed that its expanded relationship with India or Pakistan does not come at the expense of one or the other.
"We have spent a lot of time trying to convince all countries in the region that ultimately improved relations with the United States and with others in the region is in everyone's interest," State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley told reporters Tuesday.
"And we continue to make that clear" he said when asked what impact would Wednesday's strategic dialogue with Pakistan have on US ties with India and Afghanistan.
"We have warm and expanding relations with Pakistan. We have warm and expanding relations with India. We have warm and expanding relations with Afghanistan," he said adding, "It represents the growing importance of South Asia to our security and our interests globally."
"Usually when this comes up, there's kind of this sense that it's a zero-sum game; it's not; that if we have an expanding agenda with one country, it somehow comes at the expense of others," Crowley said.
US Assistant Secretary Robert Blake, Crowley said, had been to the South Asian region "and I think is trying to help various countries understand the context within which these expanded dialogues with all of the countries continue and are in everyone's interest."
Asked if the dialogue would lead to an expanded military relationship with Pakistan, Crowley said: "We've had a extensive military-to-military relationship and expansive cooperation for a number of years. I think our emphasis primarily is bringing the level of civilian cooperation up to the existing level of military cooperation."
"But clearly, one of the key areas in our relationship is the security dimension because we have a shared threat."
Expressing appreciation for the "efforts that Pakistan has taken in recent years to address a threat that is within their borders and is a threat to them as well as to the region as well as to us," Crowley said, "To the extent that Pakistan comes forward with further requirements, we will obviously entertain those."

Star's simple start to City to Surf
Page Tools
Eggs on toast and a glass of water is how Oscar-nominated actor Toni Collette prepared for Sydney's City to Surf fun run today.
The acclaimed actor was among about 64,000 participants in the annual race, which takes place from the centre of Sydney to Bondi Beach.
Speaking before the starter's pistol sounded, Collette said she was looking forward to the experience.
"This is the best way to wake up, thrust yourself into a rush of thousands and move your body," Collette told AAP.
Collette, 31, is part of the Greenpeace team which includes Lonely Planet travel publishing co-founder Tony Wheeler and members of ABC TV's CNNNN.
"It's a really fun way to raise money for Greenpeace, and it's much needed money," she said.
"Greenpeace do an important job in protecting our environment."
When asked how she had prepared herself for the gruelling run, Collette said it was a simple but efficient regime.
"A couple of eggs on toast and a bit of water," she said.
"I do about an hour of exercise every day, but 14 kilometres is a bit of a stretch."
Colette predicted she would be one of many lying around in Bondi at the end of the race this afternoon "in a pool of sweat".
Others taking part in the event include former marathon runner Steve Moneghetti.
It will be the first in 13 years for record-holder Moneghetti, who won his fourth straight race in 1991 in a record time 40.03 minutes - which remains unbeaten.
The 14km event - touted as the world's biggest timed road race - appeared in jeopardy earlier this week when ambulance officers threatened to boycott sporting events in protest against staff shortages.
But staff called off the strike on Friday after their employer agreed to roster on additional crews.

Skiatook, OK – Swim beach at NE Okla lake to close due to drought
SKIATOOK, Okla. (AP) A swim beach at a northeastern Oklahoma lake is closing because of low water levels brought on by continuing drought conditions.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Tulsa District office says the swim beach at Tall Chief Cove on Skiatook Lake will close June 15. Officials say the lake is almost six feet below its normal pool elevation and the lake level is still falling.
Greg Bersche, the park ranger at Skiatook Lake, says that relocating the swimming area to deeper water isn't a safe option because of underwater obstructions in the area, the Tall Chief Creek channel and a nearby boating lane.
Bersche says the swim beach will reopen when conditions are considered safe.

This week was a week of running businesses as some of the best articles from across the web reflected business growth, workflows, employee situations and, that old chestnut, client services. Coincidentally we've been discussing our company growth at Primate quite a bit the past few days too as we're forecasting expansion, something which is a downright scary prospect to me. Not the growth part itself but the concept of hiring new employees as I suppose it's something that's brings out my fragile paternal feelings, realising my utter terror of fatherhood. I don't know how any man can look that prospect in the face and not tremble with fear. And yes, I'm aware that I have massive issues.
Anyway, I digress. Here's our pick for the week:
Google have no business strategy
Co.Design posted an excerpt from Tim Harford's book Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure in which he takes a look at Google's unique business strategy of organic evolution (or maybe I should say organic creationism if that's what floats your boat). It's a jolly fascinating read and addresses one of the fundamental principles behind Google's strategy for growth – their 20% free time policy. Apparently they weren't the first to invent the concept and it's been a success for every company that's utilised it to date, reinforcing the idea that nurturing the potential of your staff is incredibly valuable. I can't wait until Primate can fully kick in our 20% policy.
Webplup.tv interview thoughtbot about their new Airbrake app
A fascinating video interview with Harold Giménez from thoughtbot who talks about their new app for collecting exceptions and errors, Airbrake. It's always insightful to get an uh insight into how other companies build apps, especially ones as renowned as thoughtbot, and a real delight to hear about some of the new technologies they are embracing. Goes to show that the web never stays still for long.
Think Vitamin shows off their simple Git workflow
As a newcomer to Git (Bart – the chimpanzee – is our resident expert turned mentor in it), I was particularly interested in this article by Alan Johnson over on Think Vitamin in which he describes their Git workflow. It's a great read with some good tips in it and I for one will certainly be checking out the Git Remote Branch gem. It's hard to believe that anyone still uses any other form for version control these days.
Happy Cog defend client services
In another article on the war that's raging about the future of client services, Kevin Hoffman from Happy Cog chips in with his thoughts, defending the client service industry. Personally I couldn't agree more with what he has to say and he's bang on with his two main points about bringing experience honed from work with vast varieties of clients and the ability to review the client's situation from a completely unbiased and disconnected strategic point of view. These are both huge advantages that in-house designers and developers can struggle to bring to the table.

Russian Opposition Figure Udaltsov Halts Hunger Strike
Russian opposition figure Sergei Udaltsov has suspended his hunger strike as concerns grew about his health.
Sergei Tsygankov of Moscow's Federal Penitentiary Service said on August 19 that Udaltsov had written a statement announcing the end of his hunger strike.
On August 18, Russian media reported that Udaltsov's health was deteriorating.
Udaltsov, the leader of the Left Front opposition movement, started his hunger strike last month after he was convicted of organizing mass riots in Moscow in May 2012 and sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison.
A protest on Moscow's Bolotnaya Square on the eve of Vladimir Putin's inauguration for a third term as Russian president turned violent, with scores of protesters and police injured.
More than 400 people were arrested.
Prosecutors charged that Udaltsov had planned that riot and was planning to spark more unrest in Russia's regions.

Eat more and still lose weight—seriously!—by shopping from this list of hunger-busting items that are sure to curb cravings.
Photo: ma-k/Getty Images
Smoothies Although most beverages don't satisfy hunger very well, drinks blended with a lot of air are an exception: They cause people to feel satiated and eat less at their next meal, according to a Penn State University study. Just be sure you're not also whipping in sugary, caloric ingredients such as fruit juices or flavored syrups, which would negate the health benefits.
Feel Even Fuller: Put ice and fat-free milk or yogurt in a blender, add fruit and give it a whirl. Try strawberries, which are extremely low in energy density–they're 92 percent water!–and bananas, which are loaded with resistant starch.

Is SEO Dead?
Some say SEO is dead. Search engine optimization is the process of making your content friendly to the search engines. It makes your search more relevant (if done correctly and ethically) and keeps people coming back to your site.
So how could SEO be dead? In fact, it's not.
There are many other forms of web optimization these days. You'll hear it talked about in tech circles around the world, and especially in web design circles. There are those who believe SEO is on the way out and that it will be replaced by SEM (search engine marketing), which is a direct way to get the search engines to notice you and increase your site's visibility.
But let's look at what Google says.
In April of 2015, when Google announced to the world about their latest changes in search engine algorithms, they announced that two major things will determine a website owners position in the searches now:
Great relevant content that people love
Mobile-friendliness for mobile users
They never even mentioned SEO. So does this mean that you shouldn't use SEO? SEO is really nothing more than the skillful use of keywords that drives traffic to your site by speaking to the search engines. It automatically matches the closest fit to whatever it is that the searcher put in the search to find a product or service. It's still okay to do that. After all, you have to talk to the search engines and tell them what you're about!
But to use black hat techniques like keyword stuffing, redirects, or other underhanded techniques is not kosher. In fact, it's downright unethical. Google says not to do that. In fact, they say that all you really need is a great site designed with the visitor and the customer in mind that features great written and video content that people will want to see.
Targeting keywords for maximizing search engine results is not bad. But you have to keep real people in mind first. That's the key.
I know a lot of this can be confusing, but I know someone who can help you figure it out. Dale at Local Web LLC really knows his stuff and he can help you reach your goals for your website and your business.
So if you're in Lancaster or Columbus, Ohio, call Dale to ask him how he can help you maximize your content and your website for the best results. He's been helping businesses like yours to do this for a long time.
Remember, it's not what your website looks like that's most important. It's the quality of content you put on it and how well you maximize your content so that you get the attention of both search engines and people.
Will you capture the attention of the entire world with these updates? No.
There are 7.4 billion people in the world.
But you don't have to get all of them.
You only need 5% of a niche market to make millions.
Let the web design team in Lancaster Ohio show you how to do it and stay on Google's good list!

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A federal appeals court on Wednesday revived a lawsuit challenging a Virginia law that requires state approval for new or expanded medical facilities.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that a judge who dismissed the lawsuit must consider whether Virginia's "certificate of need" program violates the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution by putting out-of-state health care providers at a competitive disadvantage.
The lawsuit was filed by Colon Health Centers of America and Progressive Radiology, two out-of-state companies that want to open clinics in Virginia. Under state law, applicants for new medical facilities must demonstrate a public need for the services. The purpose of the certificate of need program, which is administered by the Virginia health commissioner and the health department, is to prevent development of excess capacity and to protect the economic viability of existing providers.
According to the plaintiffs, the law allows local health care providers to stymie out-of-state competition by demanding and appearing at potentially lengthy and expensive fact-finding conferences.
U.S. District Judge Claude M. Hilton rejected that claim in September 2012. The appeals court said the law is not unconstitutional on its face because it also applies to in-state applicants, but a closer examination is required to determine whether it has the practical effect of discriminating against out-of-state competitors.
"It is entirely possible that in-state interests frequently commandeer the process to derail the applications of out-of-state firms, but whether this outcome actually obtains cannot be resolved without examining the functioning of the statute in practice," Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III wrote.
Attorneys for the Institute for Justice represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
"The court today made clear that the Constitution prohibits this kind of economic protectionism and that courts have a duty to seriously engage with the facts of legal challenges like this," said institute attorney Darpana Sheth. "This is not just a victory for our clients, it's a victory for common sense. When private citizens want to invest in innovative and effective health care services, the last thing the government should be doing is stopping them."
The state attorney general's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In their lawsuit, the out-of-state health care providers also claimed that the certificate of need law violates their equal protection and due process rights. The appeals court said Hilton properly rejected those claims, but not the Commerce Clause challenge.
"The district court gave a serious claim the back of its hand," Wilkinson wrote. "This was error."

1747 Bowen Map of North America and South America ( Western Hemisphere)America-bowen-1747
1747 Bowen Map of North America and South America ( Western Hemisphere)America-bowen-1747
1747 (undated) 14 x 17 in (35.56 x 43.18 cm)
Details America during the Colonial Period. In North America, England controls the colonies along the eastern coast of the continent and surrounding the Hudson Bay. France occupies Louisiana, parts of Canada, and the Great Lakes region. Spain controls the western part of the continent as well as Florida, Mexico, most of the West Indies and, with the exception of Portuguese Brazil, all of South America.
Most of western North America is unexplored though Bowen does name several known points along the coast, including the Bay of the Conception and Cape Mendocino. He also notes Drakes Port where Francis Drake laid claim to New Albion for England in 1579. Though the true location of Drakes Port is the object of considerable debate, most associate it with Pelican Bay on the border of California and Oregon. 'The Pelican' was Francis Drake's ship and the bay is named after it to this day.
Further north the coastline becomes speculative, though the 'Supposed Straits of Annian' are noted. The Straits of Anian are said to be the entrance to a Northwest Passage discovered in the 16th century by the apocryphal navigator Admiral de Fonte.
Inland, near the northern tip of Baja, Bowen draws Great Teguayo, one of the Kingdoms of Gold presumed to be found in the unexplored American west. Teguayo first appears in the Benevides Memorial, where it is described as a kingdom of great wealth to rival Quivara, another mythical kingdom which curiously does not appear on this map. The idea was later popularized in Europe by the nefarious Spaniard and deposed governor of New Mexico, the Count of Penalosa. Originally Teguayo was said to lie west of the Mississippi and north of the Gulf of Mexico, but for some reason, Bowen situates it further to the west. In the same part of the world, Bowen also maps the Rio Grande, or the North River, as a rival in magnificence to the Mississippi itself, extending north well into Canada.
North of Lake Superior Bowen adds another enormous lake, easily rivaling the Great Lakes themselves in its majesty. Though labeled Assempolis Lake, it most likely represents the Lake of the Woods. This area was being actively explored in the early 18th century by French traders with hopes of discovering a river route to the Pacific. Though no such route was ever found, many believed that rivers leading west from the Lake of the Woods would empty into the Pacific or even a great inland sea called the Sea of the West. Bowen clearly a cautious cartographer, does not speculate on the unknown.
South America is well mapped with numerous Amazon tributaries noted. Bowen includes the apocryphal Lake of Xarayes as the northern terminus of the Paraguay River. ' Xarayes' is a corruption of 'Xaraiés' meaning 'Masters of the River.' The Xaraiés were an indigenous people occupying what are today parts of Brazil's Matte Grosso and the Pantanal. When Spanish and Portuguese explorers first navigated up the Paraguay River, as always in search of El Dorado, they encountered the vast Pantanal flood plain at the height of its annual inundation. Understandably misinterpreting the flood plain as a gigantic inland sea, they named it after the local inhabitants, the Xaraies. The Laguna de los Xarayes almost immediately began to appear on early maps of the region and, at the same time, almost immediately took on a legendary aspect as the gateway to El Dorado.
The South Pacific portions of this map contain numerous islands, some of which are real, but most of which are difficult to associate with any actual islands. The Solomon Islands are drawn wildly out of proportion to their actual size leading to speculation that they may have been confused with nearby New Britain. Also names several other uncertain island groups including several islands, labeled Quiros, supposedly discovered in 1603. Notes Easter Island, which was discovered by Davis in 1686, as well as a mysterious land to the north supposedly sighted by an English pilot in 1636. This bit of land appears uncannily like Davis' Land, which does appear in other maps of the period and which most now associate with Eastern Island. Given the date and the lack of evidence of another English pilot in the region during in the 1630s, we speculate that the engraver of this map must mistakenly substituted a 3 for an 8.
Drawn my Emmanuel Bowen for issue in his 1747 edition of A Complete System of Geography...
Emanuel Bowen (1714-1767) had the high distinction to be named Royal Mapmaker to both to King George II of England and Louis XV of France. Based in London from 1714 onwards, Bowen was highly regarded for producing some of the largest, most detailed, most accurate and most attractive maps of his era. He is known to have worked with some of the most prominent cartographic names of the period including Herman Moll, John Owen, and Thomas Kitchin. Despite his renown and success, Bowen, like many cartographers, died in poverty. Upon Emanuel Bowen's death, his cartographic work was taken over by his son, Thomas Bowen (?? - 1790) who also died in poverty.

Berlin-based social betting game developer Crowdpark has raised a $6 million second round of investment led by Europe's Target Partners with participation from previous investor Earlybird Venture Capital. This brings the developer's total funding to $8 million.
Crowdpark made some ink earlier this year with Bet Tycoon (formerly titled "Crowdpark – Betting Game"), consistently landing in our top 20 emerging Facebook games category toward the beginning of the summer. The game allows players to place bets of virtual currency on a range of topics in popular culture (e.g. the outcome of sports games) or on customized private topics (e.g. "Is Jane from accounting dating John from the mail room?"). Players pay in Facebook Credits to receive a pool of virtual currency, which is then placed on bets. Players receive virtual currency whenever they win a bet; but per Facebook policy and many online gambling laws in various countries, this cannot be converted back into Facebook Credits.
As the actual process of the game isn't very visual, Crowdpark included this infographic with the press release announcing the funding to illustrate the process:
Over the next couple of weeks and months, Crowdpark plans to update Bet Tycoon with content that makes it feel more like a traditional Facebook game — such as a player progression system and a storyline where the player is encouraged to become the ultimate betting tycoon.
Where Bet Tycoon really gets interesting is in the dynamics of bets in real time. Using Crowdpark's forecasting algorithm, the game shifts the winnings and odds of a bet depending on how the actual event being bet on plays out. At any point during a football game, for example, a player could cash out before losing a bet completely to recoup some of their virtual currency.
It's this piece of technology that investor Target Partners found especially compelling. Target partner Waldemar Jantz tells us that the company had never before invested in a social game — only in technology The combination of social game and betting (without actual gambling) was also a factor that convinced the firm to invest in Crowdpark. Earlybird Venture Capital is best known in the social games industry for backing Peak Games, a Facebook game publisher-developer that has the lead on Turkish, Middle Eastern and North African markets.
Going forward, Crowdpark's Ingo Hinterding says the new round of funding will go toward hiring on staff and expanding into other platforms. The developer recently opened an office in San Francisco and plans to release a new game for mobile platforms centered on sports betting in the next three months. At some point after that, Crowdpark hopes to release a third product that leverages dual-screen players that like to watch an event on one screen (say, a TV) while monitoring their bets on another (like an iPad). Hinterding also says Google+ may be a possible platform for the developer, "once we've seen the numbers."
Crowdpark is also launching a Social Betting Index on its own site to show the world what people are betting on. According to Hinterding, this information cannot yet be broken out by region or demographic, but this could be a feature added to the index at a later date.
According to our traffic tracking service, AppData, Bet Tycoon currently enjoys 480,000 monthly active users and 20,000 daily active users.

Toronto Maple Leafs: NHL Has Weak Argument in Rejecting Jonas Frögren DealJuly 11, 2008
The big news in Leafland over the past 24 hours is the NHL's rejection of the Maple Leafs' contract with Swedish defenseman Jonas Frögren.
The 28-year-old defender was drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1998, but never made the trek to the NHL. He is described as a steady stay-at-home blueliner and played for Team Sweden at this year's IIHF world championship.
The Leafs recently signed Frögren to a two-year deal that would pay him $450,000 this season and $900,000 next year, along with a $700,000 signing bonus. It's a one-way contract, which means Frögren is guaranteed those dollars whether he plays in the NHL or with the Toronto Marlies (which isn't likely, as GM Cliff Fletcher has spoken about Frögren playing in the team's top six).
Yesterday, however, the league office announced it was rejecting the contract, claiming that the Leafs had to sign Frögren to a three-year entry-level deal.
Even at first glance, that doesn't seem to make much sense. Since Frögren is too old to be considered a rookie (Calder winners must be 26 or under), it doesn't seem right that he should be forced to sign a rookie contract.
The Fro, as he has been nicknamed, has played professional hockey in Sweden for a decade. This is no raw teenager coming out of junior.
Now, thanks to Ken Campbell of The Hockey News, we have some concrete evidence to back the Leafs' position.
Here is what the conflict boils down to:
According to Article 9(c) of the league's CBA, "a European player who signs his first SPC (Standard Player's Contract) at age 28 or older is not subject to the entry-level system under any circumstances."
Remember the last three words: under any circumstances.
But the NHL argues that they're right because of Exhibit 16 (sounds like a strange thing to name something in a CBA, but I'm no lawyer), which states that anyone who has been a defected player "shall be subject to having to enter the league through the entry-level system."
Apparently Frögren was once a defected player with the Flames, despite never playing a game in North America or signing a contract of any kind.
So the league stubbornly claims that Exhibit 16 trumps Article 9(c), even though it is extremely vague and was added as a transition piece after the CBA was completed.
Well, just about anyone over the age of 14 could tell you that isn't true—or at least shouldn't be.
Gary and Bill, you might want to read Article 9(c) again. Closely. Especially the last part.
Frögren is not subject to the entry level system under any circumstances.
That includes this silly Exhibit Defected argument the league is trying to come up with. That's a circumstance, and it is addressed by the previous passage.
I rest my case.
If the PA's lawyers are worth their salt, Jonas Frögren will be a Toronto Maple Leaf for the next two years. What happens after that is entirely up to the Fro.
