Too often the CEO of a company is the last to learn about the newest search engine optimization practices. With an entire business to over see, it is no wonder. However, company-wide support of SEO is, and always has been, extremely important for companies who want to remain competitive in organic search. Yet, the CEOs of many organizations are left working with outdated or even completely inaccurate information.
That is why I've put together this list of seven misconceptions CEOs commonly have about SEO.
SEO is a "Quick Fix"
Prior to Google's Penguin and Panda updates, it was possible for business owners to achieve high rankings, sometimes within days. 'Gaming' the search engines has become virtually impossible now, however, and SEO has become a long-term endeavor; there are no 'quick fixes', and anyone who tells you otherwise is plain wrong.
SEO is a long-term investment, and every company needs to be prepared to invest in the work of SEO over the long term. Frequently publishing unique and valuable content is the first step, but the ongoing work of SEO will be continually promoting that content, building social media channels, and building the overall brand by developing relationships with reputable websites and blogs.
SEO Can be Carried Out in Isolation
A few years ago, having a dedicated SEO person, department, or consultant was the norm. The tasks of SEO could be carried out virtually in isolation, without the input or direct support of other departments.
Now, however, SEO has become a company-wide endeavor. As content marketing and SEO become more and more intertwined, all departments – marketing and non-marketing – need to be involved in SEO brainstorming and tasks.
Every department has access to invaluable bits of information that others may not; for instance, your sales team will likely have an intimate understanding of the terms customers are using to describe or search for your products. Not involving them in the keyword research process could mean missing out on a wealth of valuable information.
Content Marketing Has Replaced SEO
There's no doubt that the two are closely related, and it's now impossible to have one without the other. However, each has a distinct place within online marketing, and neither should be performed alone.
Many business owners believe – whether consciously or unconsciously – that in this age of content marketing, all that's needed is to regularly produce amazing content. While that's certainly hugely important, without the proper technical optimization, social media expertise, and distribution strategies in place, your content may never attain the high search rankings it deserves.
Past Mistakes Can't Hurt You (As Long as You've Repented and Changed Your Ways)
When you stop your spammy keyword and linking practices, Google forgives you and leaves the past in the past, right?
Even if you're producing amazing content now (and abiding by Google's best practices), your past indiscretions could still be harming you. In fact, these poor SEO practices from the past could even be hurting your current content, and your site as a whole.
If you noticed a sudden or significant drop in traffic at a particular point in time, your site may have suffered a manual penalty or action. In this case, it's particularly important that you do everything you can to get your site back on track. This may include:
- Requesting the removal of inbound links from spammy or poor-quality sites or directories
- Rewriting or removing short or poor-quality content from your site
- Changing up the anchor text you used for internal linking (if you over-optimized for a particular keyword or phrase)
For more tips see The Definitive Guide to Recovering From a Manual Search Penalty.
Inbound Links are the Only Way Google Determines a Site's Authority
A few years ago, when PageRank was all the rage, getting inbound links to your site was pretty much the one and only way of getting Google to notice your site and to deem it as authoritative and reliable.
However, recently we've begun to suspect a move towards brand mentions and nofollowed links as potentially important factors in determining a site's authority. According to a patent recently filed by Google, both "express" and "implied" links may be used as part of their algorithm.
This means that, rather than focusing exclusively on getting links to your site, it's more important than ever to find ways to create 'buzz' around your brand. We've yet to see if or how this change has been impacting search rankings, but I strongly suspect we'll see the impact over the coming year.
"Director of Content" Should Replace "Director of SEO"
In a post I wrote for Forbes about six months ago (The Top 7 Content Marketing Trends That Will Dominate 2014), I proposed the top new marketing job businesses would be looking to recruit and hire would be 'Director of Content'. With more of the budget being allocated to content creation and dissemination, I see this as a necessary job role for businesses who want to stay competitive.
This does not mean, however, that the role of Director or SEO (or the equivalent) has become obsolete. Integrating SEO and content creation is imperative, but I believe it remains important to have a dedicated SEO team or person in place to manage link building and the technical aspects of SEO.
Social Signals are Now a Major Ranking Factor
While I believe (despite what Google has said to the contrary) that social signals such as likes, shares, and comments (particularly on Google+) ultimately factor into how well your content ranks in the search engines, the direct impact of social signals on rankings has yet to be confirmed definitively.
There are, however, many indirect benefits to having your content liked and shared on social media. After all, more people interacting with your content on social media means more people see your content, which means you accumulate more organic links, which leads to a higher search ranking.
So while social sharing should certainly be a major part of your marketing goals, we are still unclear as to the current importance of social signals for SEO rankings.
As arguably the most influential member of any organization, CEOs must be kept apprised of the latest strategies, best practices, and trends when it comes to SEO. Hopefully, this list has provided you with a few insights that will help you as you think about how to incorporate SEO into your company-wide goals.
What common misconceptions do you see CEOs commonly having when it comes to SEO? Or as a CEO yourself, do you find any of the points above surprising?

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.
Originally 25 April every year was to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, and Tonga.
ANZAC Day
Country: United Kingdom
Locality: Hampshire
Identified Casualties: 109
Historical Information Due to its proximity to the port of Southampton, its railway connections and an abundance of large houses in the area, Brockenhurst was chosen in 1915 by the War Office to become a hospital centre. Initially, Lady Hardinge's Hospital (named after the wife of the Viceroy of India) for the Indian troops of the Lahore and Meerut Divisions was established south of the village.
This was then replaced by No.1 New Zealand General Hospital in June 1916, after the Indian Divisions were replaced by ANZAC troops. The New Zealand Hospital remained at Brockenhurst until closed early in 1919. The churchyard contains 106 graves of the First War, of which one hundred are in the New Zealand plot. In addition to the 93 New Zealand graves, there are also three Indian and three unidentified Belgian civilians (employed at the Sopley Forestry camp). On the East side of the New Zealand plot is memorial incorporating a Cross.
ANZAC war graves
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...
you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours...
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears;
your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
— Atatürk 1934

Meanwhile the tattoo had sounded in the village square. The people had returned from their work. The herd lowed as in clouds of golden dust it crowded at the village gate. The girls and the women hurried through the streets and yards, turning in their cattle. The sun had quite hidden itself behind the distant snowy peaks. One pale bluish shadow spread over land and sky. Above the darkened gardens stars just discernible were kindling, and the sounds were gradually hushed in the village. The cattle having been attended to and left for the night, the women came out and gathered at the corners of the streets and, cracking sunflower seeds with their teeth, settled down on the earthen embankments of the houses. Later on Maryanka, having finished milking the buffalo and the other two cows, also joined one of these groups.
The group consisted of several women and girls and one old Cossack man.
They were talking about the abrek who had been killed.
The Cossack was narrating and the women questioning him.
'I expect he'll get a handsome reward,' said one of the women.
'Of course. It's said that they'll send him a cross.'
'Mosev did try to wrong him. Took the gun away from him, but the authorities at Kizlyar heard of it.'
'A mean creature that Mosev is!'
'They say Lukashka has come home,' remarked one of the girls.
'He and Nazarka are merry-making at Yamka's.' (Yamka was an unmarried, disreputable Cossack woman who kept an illicit pot-house.) 'I heard say they had drunk half a pailful.'
'What luck that Snatcher has,' somebody remarked. 'A real snatcher. But there's no denying he's a fine lad, smart enough for anything, a right-minded lad! His father was just such another. Daddy Kiryak was: he takes after his father. When he was killed the whole village howled. Look, there they are,' added the speaker, pointing to the Cossacks who were coming down the street towards them.
'And Ergushov has managed to come along with them too! The drunkard!'
Lukashka, Nazarka, and Ergushov, having emptied half a pail of vodka, were coming towards the girls. The faces of all three, but especially that of the old Cossack, were redder than usual. Ergushov was reeling and kept laughing and nudging Nazarka in the ribs.
'Why are you not singing?' he shouted to the girls. 'Sing to our merry-making, I tell you!'
They were welcomed with the words, 'Had a good day? Had a good day?'
'Why sing? It's not a holiday,' said one of the women. 'You're tight, so you go and sing.'
Ergushov roared with laughter and nudged Nazarka. 'You'd better sing. And I'll begin too. I'm clever, I tell you.'
'Are you asleep, fair ones?' said Nazarka. 'We've come from the cordon to drink your health. We've already drunk Lukashka's health.'
Lukashka, when he reached the group, slowly raised his cap and stopped in front of the girls. His broad cheekbones and neck were red. He stood and spoke softly and sedately, but in his tranquillity and sedateness there was more of animation and strength than in all Nazarka's loquacity and bustle. He reminded one of a playful colt that with a snort and a flourish of its tail suddenly stops short and stands as though nailed to the ground with all four feet. Lukashka stood quietly in front of the girls, his eyes laughed, and he spoke but little as he glanced now at his drunken companions and now at the girls. When Maryanka joined the group he raised his cap with a firm deliberate movement, moved out of her way and then stepped in front of her with one foot a little forward and with his thumbs in his belt, fingering his dagger. Maryanka answered his greeting with a leisurely bow of her head, settled down on the earth-bank, and took some seeds out of the bosom of her smock. Lukashka, keeping his eyes fixed on Maryanka, slowly cracked seeds and spat out the shells. All were quiet when Maryanka joined the group.
'Have you come for long?' asked a woman, breaking the silence.
'Till to-morrow morning,' quietly replied Lukashka.
'Well, God grant you get something good,' said the Cossack; 'I'm glad of it, as I've just been saying.'
'And I say so too,' put in the tipsy Ergushov, laughing. 'What a lot of visitors have come,' he added, pointing to a soldier who was passing by. 'The soldiers' vodka is good — I like it.'
'They've sent three of the devils to us,' said one of the women. 'Grandad went to the village Elders, but they say nothing can be done.'
'Ah, ha! Have you met with trouble?' said Ergushov.
'I expect they have smoked you out with their tobacco?' asked another woman. 'Smoke as much as you like in the yard, I say, but we won't allow it inside the hut. Not if the Elder himself comes, I won't allow it. Besides, they may rob you. He's not quartered any of them on himself, no fear, that devil's son of an Elder.'
'You don't like it?' Ergushov began again.
'And I've also heard say that the girls will have to make the soldiers' beds and offer them chikhir and honey,' said Nazarka, putting one foot forward and tilting his cap like Lukashka.
Ergushov burst into a roar of laughter, and seizing the girl nearest to him, he embraced her. 'I tell you true.'
'Now then, you black pitch!' squealed the girl, 'I'll tell your old woman.'
'Tell her,' shouted he. 'That's quite right what Nazarka says; a circular has been sent round. He can read, you know. Quite true!' And he began embracing the next girl.
'What are you up to, you beast?' squealed the rosy, round-faced Ustenka, laughing and lifting her arm to hit him.
The Cossack stepped aside and nearly fell.
'There, they say girls have no strength, and you nearly killed me.'
'Get away, you black pitch, what devil has brought you from the cordon?' said Ustenka, and turning away from him she again burst out laughing. 'You were asleep and missed the abrek, didn't you? Suppose he had done for you it would have been all the better.'
'You'd have howled, I expect,' said Nazarka, laughing.
'Howled! A likely thing.'
'Just look, she doesn't care. She'd howl, Nazarka, eh? Would she?' said Ergushov.
Lukishka all this time had stood silently looking at Maryanka. His gaze evidently confused the girl.
'Well, Maryanka! I hear they've quartered one of the chiefs on you?' he said, drawing nearer.
Maryanka, as was her wont, waited before she replied, and slowly raising her eyes looked at the Cossack. Lukashka's eyes were laughing as if something special, apart from what was said, was taking place between himself and the girl.
'Yes, it's all right for them as they have two huts,' replied an old woman on Maryanka's behalf, 'but at Fomushkin's now they also have one of the chiefs quartered on them and they say one whole corner is packed full with his things, and the family have no room left. Was such a thing ever heard of as that they should turn a whole horde loose in the village?' she said. 'And what the plague are they going to do here?'
'I've heard say they'll build a bridge across the Terek,' said one of the girls.
'And I've been told that they will dig a pit to put the girls in because they don't love the lads,' said Nazarka, approaching Ustenka; and he again made a whimsical gesture which set everybody laughing, and Ergushov, passing by Maryanka, who was next in turn, began to embrace an old woman.
'Why don't you hug Maryanka? You should do it to each in turn,' said Nazarka.
'No, my old one is sweeter,' shouted the Cossack, kissing the struggling old woman.
'You'll throttle me,' she screamed, laughing.
The tramp of regular footsteps at the other end of the street interrupted their laughter. Three soldiers in their cloaks, with their muskets on their shoulders, were marching in step to relieve guard by the ammunition wagon.
The corporal, an old cavalry man, looked angrily at the Cossacks and led his men straight along the road where Lukashka and Nazarka were standing, so that they should have to get out of the way. Nazarka moved, but Lukashka only screwed up his eyes and turned his broad back without moving from his place.
'People are standing here, so you go round,' he muttered, half turning his head and tossing it contemptuously in the direction of the soldiers.
The soldiers passed by in silence, keeping step regularly along the dusty road.
Maryanka began laughing and all the other girls chimed in.
'What swells!' said Nazarka, 'Just like long-skirted choristers,' and he walked a few steps down the road imitating the soldiers.
Again everyone broke into peals of laughter.
Lukashka came slowly up to Maryanka.
'And where have you put up the chief?' he asked.
Maryanka thought for a moment.
'We've let him have the new hut,' she said.
'And is he old or young,' asked Lukashka, sitting down beside her.
'Do you think I've asked?' answered the girl. 'I went to get him some chikhir and saw him sitting at the window with Daddy Eroshka. Red-headed he seemed. They've brought a whole cartload of things.'
And she dropped her eyes.
'Oh, how glad I am that I got leave from the cordon!' said Lukashka, moving closer to the girl and looking straight in her eyes all the time.
'And have you come for long?' asked Maryanka, smiling slightly.
'Till the morning. Give me some sunflower seeds,' he said, holding out his hand.
Maryanka now smiled outright and unfastened the neckband of her smock.
'Don't take them all,' she said.
'Really I felt so dull all the time without you, I swear I did,' he said in a calm, restrained whisper, helping himself to some seeds out of the bosom of the girl's smock, and stooping still closer over her he continued with laughing eyes to talk to her in low tones.
'I won't come, I tell you,' Maryanka suddenly said aloud, leaning away from him.
'No really . . . what I wanted to say to you, . . . ' whispered Lukashka. 'By the Heavens! Do come!'
Maryanka shook her head, but did so with a smile.
'Nursey Maryanka! Hallo Nursey! Mammy is calling! Supper time!' shouted Maryanka's little brother, running towards the group.
'I'm coming,' replied the girl. 'Go, my dear, go alone — I'll come in a minute.'
Lukashka rose and raised his cap.
'I expect I had better go home too, that will be best,' he said, trying to appear unconcerned but hardly able to repress a smile, and he disappeared behind the corner of the house.
Meanwhile night had entirely enveloped the village. Bright stars were scattered over the dark sky. The streets became dark and empty. Nazarka remained with the women on the earth-bank and their laughter was still heard, but Lukashka, having slowly moved away from the girls, crouched down like a cat and then suddenly started running lightly, holding his dagger to steady it: not homeward, however, but towards the cornet's house. Having passed two streets he turned into a lane and lifting the skirt of his coat sat down on the ground in the shadow of a fence. 'A regular cornet's daughter!' he thought about Maryanka. 'Won't even have a lark — the devil! But just wait a bit.'
The approaching footsteps of a woman attracted his attention. He began listening, and laughed all by himself. Maryanka with bowed head, striking the pales of the fences with a switch, was walking with rapid regular strides straight towards him. Lukashka rose. Maryanka started and stopped.
'What an accursed devil! You frightened me! So you have not gone home?' she said, and laughed aloud.
Lukashka put one arm round her and with the other hand raised her face. 'What I wanted to tell you, by Heaven!' his voice trembled and broke.
'What are you talking of, at night time!' answered Maryanka. 'Mother is waiting for me, and you'd better go to your sweetheart.'
And freeing herself from his arms she ran away a few steps. When she had reached the wattle fence of her home she stopped and turned to the Cossack who was running beside her and still trying to persuade her to stay a while with him.
'Well, what do you want to say, midnight-gadabout?' and she again began laughing.
'Don't laugh at me, Maryanka! By the Heaven! Well, what if I have a sweetheart? May the devil take her! Only say the word and now I'll love you — I'll do anything you wish. Here they are!' and he jingled the money in his pocket. 'Now we can live splendidly. Others have pleasures, and I? I get no pleasure from you, Maryanka dear!'
The girl did not answer. She stood before him breaking her switch into little bits with a rapid movement other fingers.
Lukashka suddenly clenched his teeth and fists.
'And why keep waiting and waiting? Don't I love you, darling? You can do what you like with me,' said he suddenly, frowning angrily and seizing both her hands.
The calm expression of Maryanka's face and voice did not change.
'Don't bluster, Lukashka, but listen to me,' she answered, not pulling away her hands but holding the Cossack at arm's length. 'It's true I am a girl, but you listen to me! It does not depend on me, but if you love me I'll tell you this. Let go my hands, I'll tell you without. — I'll marry you, but you'll never get any nonsense from me,' said Maryanka without turning her face.
'What, you'll marry me? Marriage does not depend on us. Love me yourself, Maryanka dear,' said Lukashka, from sullen and furious becoming again gentle, submissive, and tender, and smiling as he looked closely into her eyes.
Maryanka clung to him and kissed him firmly on the lips.
'Brother dear!' she whispered, pressing him convulsively to her. Then, suddenly tearing herself away, she ran into the gate of her house without looking round.
In spite of the Cossack's entreaties to wait another minute to hear what he had to say, Maryanka did not stop.
'Go,' she cried, 'you'll be seen! I do believe that devil, our lodger, is walking about the yard.'
'Cornet's daughter,' thought Lukashka. 'She will marry me. Marriage is all very well, but you just love me!'
He found Nazarka at Yamka's house, and after having a spree with him went to Dunayka's house, where, in spite of her not being faithful to him, he spent the night.

DENVER – A 9Wants to Know investigation reveals men who are actively offering free rent in exchange for sex on Craigslist may be breaking Colorado prostitution laws.
"I was hoping for sex one to three times a week," said John Smith of Denver over email, after 9Wants to Know responded to his posting.
Smith advertised "Free Place for a Female" in numerous postings over the course of several weeks.
"What I was looking for is somebody to sleep in my bed," Smith later said on undercover video recorded by 9Wants to Know.
During a Skype conversation, Paul Cherry of Lakewood said he was just looking for companionship when he offered a "rent free" room in Lakewood.
When asked about the terms of the free rent offer, Cherry responded "It's kind of like, not so much a 'girlfriend' situation, but subtly…..it would be subtly."
Other men, like Robert Garrison, are not as vague about what they want.
Garrison advertised "Roomate/Lover Wanted" and wrote "rent free & use of my truck" on his advertisement. In another post, Garrison called himself a "roommate with benefits."
During an undercover encounter with Garrison, he admitted he was seeking sex in exchange for free rent in his trailer and said he was tired of "shopping around" for women at the bars.
When 9Wants to Know sat down with Garrison to ask him about his advertisements, Garrison said he wasn't worried about breaking the law.
9News Legal Analyst Scott Robinson says under Colorado's prostitution laws, rent is considered a thing of value, like money or drugs. Once something of value is exchanged for sex, it becomes prostitution Robinson said.
"These men are looking for soul mates, but if they keep this up, they're going to be looking for cell mates," Robinson said. "A subtle ad might skirt around the outskirts of the law, but once the arrangement is made, then it in fact becomes a crime."
Cherry, who has a criminal history including stalking, was not initially upfront about his age while speaking on Skype.
He insisted he was not offering rent for sex and he was not trying to take advantage of someone when he was questioned by 9Wants to Know.
"That's why I took it down," Cherry said, speaking of his Craigslist post. "I wasn't sure if I was going to be misconstrued as someone trying to sell something or take advantage of someone. And that's what this was not about. This was about having someone to provide something for and having someone to cuddle on the couch."
While Cherry's ad does not mention sex, other ads reviewed by 9Wants to Know were more explicit.
"I would consider them johns," said Sgt. Dane Steel, who reviewed some of the explicit ads profiled by 9Wants to Know.
Sgt. Steele worked in Denver Police Department's vice unit for more than four years. Steele said subtle ads may look legal on the surface, but the real motive could be criminal. "It's different ways to subvert the law."
Attracting a vulnerable population
Sgt. Steele, who now works human trafficking cases for the Denver Police Department, believes some of the ads could attract young, vulnerable women who are desperate for housing. "That happens a lot of the time with runaway youth, when they're exchanging sex for shelter," Steele said.
While the men featured in this report may be completely harmless and just lonely men, Steele says the ads can lure in people for more sinister reasons.
"We've also seen it on those levels where it's a guy that's a 'hobbyist.' This is his passion-being a full time john where they have this sugar-daddy relationship. They want somebody that's going to be subservient to them."
A viable relationship with no strings attached?
Dr. Christie Hartman who is a behavioral scientist and dating expert believes "roommates with benefits" could end up stuck in a sour relationship where one person has control over the other.
"There are darker things that can happen," Hartman said. "There is a way for a man, well, 'If I give her free rent, I got her under my thumb. I can get different things from her. I can control her, I can abuse her.'"
Hartman also says in almost every case, sex always comes with strings attached even if there is an expectation it won't complicate things.
"There is always an emotional component," Hartman said. "Like if somebody falls for the other person, or if the other person doesn't feel that way. People don't want it to have strings, but it always does."
Dangers for the advertisers
Hartman advises people not to seek partners or dates on Craigslist because it's unknown what kind of person an advertiser could attract.
"She could be a psychopath or a thief," Hartman said, speaking of the type of women who may respond to the ads. "There's too much of a dark element out there."
Sgt. Steel also said men who are seeking sex could get caught up with a woman who could be under the control of an extortionist or a dangerous pimp.

Go Fig'ger
I've been craving something fresh, creamy, and sweet. SO, it's time for the Go Fig'ger grilled cheese!
This succulent baby is loaded with adriadic fig spread, sottocenere truffled cheese, baby arugula, and topped off with sour dough bread and pink Himalayan salt.
- sourdough bread
- salted butter
- sottocenere truffled cheese, or brie cheese
- organic adriadic fig spread, or some sort of fig jam
- baby arugula
- pink Himalayan salt
- Go ahead and cut the cheese into thin strips. Lather one piece of bread with the fig spread and half of the cheese onto one side of the bread and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
- Next line the fig side of the bread with cheese and top with a handful of arugula.
- Now, mush them together! Be careful not to let the goodness fall out.
- Time for the butter! I think it's easiest to butter one side and put it buttered side down into the skillet on a low/medium heat and then butter the other side.
- Now listen to that baby sizzle and watch as the ooey gooeyness oozes out and bubbles on the hot skillet. You can also press it with a heated weight or an aluminum wrapped brick.
- Ooowwhhhh, has the buttery richness browned and crisped the soft bread? Time to flip it over and even it out!
- Ok, evens stevens? Pull that little sammie off the skillet and let it rest for a minute or two. This prevents the cheese from oozing out once you cut it.

Over the past few years but
most notably in the past few months, we have seen tremendous growth and
expansion within Denver Metro housing and business ecosystems. Although the spike
in home price and high-rise apartment infatuation seemed to be contained to Colorado's
major cities we are finally seeing these patterns leak into the surrounding
Just recently in
Arapahoe county one apartment complex was purchased for one of the highest
dollar to unit ratios in CO history, stirring up debate on whether these trends
will continue state-wide (bizjournals.com, Molly Armbrister). Colorado is also
one of the biggest up and coming tech states in the country, which brings light
to the very real notion that suburban Colorado may no longer be suburban in a
short couple of years. Will we see the whole state become as crowded as Denver?
What are your thoughts
on the matter?

One of the challenges, if not the challenge in buying an air filter is that there is no one way to judge performance. A dozen manufacturers include the AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) test sticker and/or logo, which often a measurement of airflow in cubic-feet per minute. The faster the flow, the more rapidly room air is cleaned. How well the air is cleaned is another matter entirely. AHAM advises buying a unit with a CADR (clean air delivery rate) that is two-thirds the square foot measurement of the room you would like cleaned, provided that the ceiling is not exceedingly high. A 20' x 10' room, then, would need a CADR of about 140. Also, frequently seen on both portable and whole-house filters and inserts is information from ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers). ASHRAE certification offers a more informative measure of cleaning, in terms of "efficiency," or the percentage of air contaminants effectively filtered by the appliance.

Eggert Magnusson was given a glimmer of hope in his attempt to seize control of West Ham last night after it emerged that Kia Joorabchian's rival bid had hit a major hurdle.
Magnusson has grown increasingly frustrated at being frozen out by the West Ham board despite submitting a revised £75 million cash offer for the club almost two weeks ago.
A leaked letter obtained by The Daily Telegraph from the Icelandic businessman's financial advisers, Seymour Pierce, to West Ham's bankers, Hawkpoint, reveals that Magnusson's consortium sought to reassure the board that their bid was not based on too much debt.
They also provided guarantees that funds would be made available to strengthen Alan Pardew's team in the January transfer window.
As a result of the revised bid, West Ham chairman Terry Brown agreed to meet Magnusson and Keith Harris, the chairman of Seymour Pierce, last Friday. Magnusson had hoped that as a result of that meeting his advisers would be granted permission to carry out due diligence, which they assured West Ham could be completed in just six days.
Despite those reassurances and positive noises from Brown, Magnusson has not been given the green light to inspect the club's books. It is believed there are concerns at Upton Park over the identity of Magnusson's backers.
At the same time West Ham's board have been edging ever closer to securing a deal with a consortium led by Joorabchian, an Iranian businessman, and backed by Eli Papouchado, the Israeli property tycoon.
However, it is understood that Joorabchian's bid has now hit a serious glitch. Following their own inspection of the club's accounts, Joorabchian's bankers, Rothschild, have discovered what they believe are £13.6 million of extra debts, relating mainly to outstanding transfers conducted after May 31 but also including fees relating to the £7.25 million purchase of Dean Ashton from Norwich in January.
According to the latest West Ham accounts, £5.5 million is due to clubs for a number of players with a further £8.1 million contingent on performance targets relating to those players, such as goals, appearances and international caps.
Although West Ham do not consider the liabilities to be debts and believe Joorabchian to be using the discovery as an excuse to haggle over the price, the Iranian is considering reducing his £102 million offer, which is based on £80 million for the club and £22 million to cover the borrowings.
With West Ham's board desperate to draw a line under the affair – another deadline for Joorabchian to submit a formal bid or withdraw his offer had been set for yesterday – the glitch could now offer a glimmer of hope to Magnusson whose initial bid, first revealed by The Daily Telegraph on Oct 11, valued West Ham at between £65 million and £75 million.
However, in the letter outlining Magnusson's new offer, dated Oct 23 and written by Harris to Patrick Wilson, the managing director of Hawkpoint, the Icelandic consortium reveal they are prepared bid at the upper end of that price range.
Harris writes: "As you have previously requested, our client is prepared to specify a headline price for the offer, rather than provide a range of values. Accordingly I confirm that our client would intend to make the offer…at the top end of the range previously indicated, i.e. £75 million in cash."
Magnusson yesterday admitted his frustrations at the impasse, but said: "I remain very committed to moving forward in the bid for West Ham although it's somewhat frustrating that we have not been able to move to the next stage."

Absente 55 is enjoyed by those in the know in the true tradition that involves a flame, sugar, water and absinthe… a ceremonial ritual which gives free reign to your imagination. Absente 55 derives its bitterness from several of the aromatic plants of absinthe (Artémisia Absinthium). The thujone content is strictly regulated in line with legislation (extract from legislation).
The Absente 55 recipe, a blend of absinthe, aniseed flavors, mint and spices, gives it its incomparable color and unexpected length of flavor.
Tips: Here are a few ideas. Adapt to suit your mood and taste: serve using the traditional spoon method, onto crushed ice or, if you love your drinks strong, just serve it neat. With Absente 55 there are no rules.
How do you drink it?
The armoise (Artemisia Vulgaris) infusion gives Absente its structure.
The alcoholate and essences add subtile flavors of anise, mint and spices, giving Absente its balance, elegance, freshness and surprising length of flavor.
For drinking Absente there are no rules (or very few):
- You can pour the Absente onto crushed ice or ice cubes.
- If you like strong drinks then you can drink it neat.
- If you prefer it slightly bitter and less sweet, simply add fresh water to your Absente.
- Those nostalgic for the past can practice the ritual of bygone days by placing a sugar cube onto an absinthe spoon placed on the rim of the glass and slowing pour in the water until it melts the sugar and turns the Absente an opalescent green.
Absente can also be flambéed and added to cocktails.
Organoleptic profile
The color: a beautiful light green with clear shiny glints of yellow.
The nose: a subtile aroma of absinthe blended with anise, mint and spices.
The mouth: round aniseed attack moving onto a well-structured feel thanks to the presence of the amoise, finishing with the fresh, spicy notes (absinthe, lemon balm and mint) which give Absente its length of flavor
Storage: at room temperature, not above 25°C or keep chilled. Store the bottle upright. No use-by date.

There's an old saying here at RealTruck that goes: A truck just ain't a truck without Rampage Running Boards. Now, the saying may not be that terribly old, but after we first laid eyes on the Rampage brand of side step boards we knew it would soon become part of our vernacular. We add our amazing customer service and free shipping to each and every pair of Rampage running boards we sell.
Rampage brings it big when they offer running boards in extruded aluminum, stainless steel and regular steel varieties. They give you these options because they know you want the ability to choose. Yet they stick with materials that are proven to be industry standards when it comes to making a long lasting, durable running board.
Getting the best in a wide stepping area for getting in and out of your cab can mean long nights clicking, double clicking and reading page after page of product information on your computer. The Internet is great at providing you with tons of information, but are you really getting what you need when it comes to finding out about your new running boards? Rampage running boards are chock full of information about available finishes (black, polished, silver and even paintable), materials, custom sizing and more.
Not only are you getting the best when it comes upgrading your Jeep or truck, you're getting a solid stepping area to safely enter and exit your vehicle. We know some of you hot rodders (yes, that's a word we use around here) are solely thinking about how your new pair of Rampage boards are going to look after you install them, but they are also very functional.
Please note, you may need to order your brackets separately for installation, please speak with a customer representative for any questions regarding installation.
Make Friends While Looking Great
Did you know Rampage running boards are conversation starters? In fact, all of our Rampage products are, but the step boards are in particular due to the fact they actually change the look of your vehicle so drastically while upgrading functionally.
Case study: Frank (Not his real name. His real name is Francis, but he goes by Frank to sound more masculine.) Ahem, Frank owns a Jeep Wrangler and he decides to upgrade to some Rampage running boards. He does this and drives down to the local Sonic for a burger and fries. He even springs for a shake because he digs the strawberry kind. Many people notice the change in Frank's vehicle and ask him about the upgrade. He tells them all about it and about how he did the installation himself. Folks decide to head over to RealTruck.com to get their own running boards as well, yet ask Frank for advice on what to purchase.
This pleases Frank because everyone used to make fun of him before for driving his wife's pink Jeep Wrangler. Oh, did we forget to mention it was pink? Well, it was pink. The Rampage running boards really 'botched' it up a bit and Frank regained a bit a dignity out of the deal.

The hollow bouquet emits only fey scents of vines and green vegetation. The palate entry is very sweet, nearly syrupy; the midpalate is the best phase as rounded flavors of dark toffee, nougat, and maple work nicely together. Finishes sweet, sap-like, and acceptably woody.

The Appearing
Directed by Daric Gates
Courtesy of Lionsgate
Release Date: March 25, 2014
Is it just me or is every horror movie released nowadays based on a true story or true events? It seems like every other tagline I run across states that very thing. As such, it's getting difficult to differentiate between actual legends and/or myths and those created specifically for films. THE APPEARING is a movie that falls into this category. But what makes this one so interesting is that neither the film nor the supposed story it is based on make much sense at all. As a result, this lackluster horror flick contains few scares and even fewer enjoyable moments.
If you are not familiar with THE APPEARING, here is the plot synopsis courtesy of Lionsgate:
After suffering a tragic loss, a city detective named Michael and his wife move to a small town, where Michael joins the town police force. His first case, involving a missing person, leads him to discover that the town is plagued by a dark supernatural force. Michael will have to summon every ounce of courage in order to fight this darkness before it takes everything from him.
Normally, I'm foaming at the mouth after watching a demon or possession flick. After all, who doesn't enjoy that subject matter? Earlier this week, I mentioned this very thing in a book review of David Bernstein's DAMAGED SOULS (click here for that review). I said, "I love stories about demons because there seem to be no boundaries. With zombies, you have specific guidelines to stay within: they have to be dead, they are usually rotting, they don't have cognizance, etc. Similarly, vampires usually cannot be out in daylight, they drink blood, etc. You see where I'm going. But with demons, all bets are off. Authors can pretty much do what they want and make them as sadistic as they want to be." This certainly fits for the most part…but unfortunately not here with THE APPEARING.
The cinematography and production value of this film look ok, although the budget looks lean and the quality of film is about that of a Syfy Channel film. The acting is so-so, and the characters themselves are decent. So everything up to this point should provide a decent movie experience.
But the story is where THE APPEARING fails. There's no cohesion to much of anything, just a random assortment of story lines that never quite mesh together. Now that it is over, I think I see where the filmmaker was trying to go…but the film never gets there. I am left with a bunch of questions and nothing that ties them up.
I cannot recommend THE APPEARING, unless you really want to see Patrick Swayze's brother, Don, onscreen. Although he does a decent job with his role, the movie itself flops too greatly to appreciate him. I would simply give this one a pass.

There are a few of things to understand about Bread & Puppet Theater, the legendary Vermont-based company performing in Chicago next week as part of Columbia College's annual Story Week Festival of Writers. The first is that they are not writers. The second is that they do provide bread; depending on where they perform, the troupe often requests ingredients for 400 loaves. And third is that puppets are their medium, large, elaborate creations that tower over the heads of the puppeteers. To explain this in puppetry circles, though, would be like explaining that the Rolling Stones work with guitars.
Still, the analogy is apt. If Jim Henson was the Beatles of puppetry, experimental and game-changing and accessible, then Peter Schumann and Bread & Puppet is the edgier, more provocative cousin.

Edison Marconi Bulb
This vintage reproduction Edison bulb creates a fond nostalgia of time gone by. The warm glow of this classic bulb provides ambient lighting akin to candlelight and will last around 3000 hours. Stylistically, the design mimics the vacuum tubes used in classic radios. These clear glass filament bulbs are the perfect addition to any lighting fixture with standard incandescent sockets.
For the highest visual impact, we recommend using these bulbs with fixtures that have no shades or clear glass shades.
Due to the softness of the hand-wound tungsten filament:
- The 30 watt bulb has the visual lighting equivalent of a modern 6-9 watt bulb
- The 60 watt bulb has the visual lighting equivalent of a modern 30 watt bulb

CHICAGO (Baseball StL) -- There is something ghastly about watching the St. Louis Cardinals play the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field akin to watching the prom queen dance with Quasimodo in a fetid alley.
Busch Stadium is a modern, clean facility with excellent views of the playing field, wide inner corridors, easy access to vendors, large restrooms, plentiful parking and compelling views of a vibrant downtown.
The Busch Stadium field announcer unashamedly welcomes fans to "Baseball Heaven." Ushers smile, vendors have a full set of teeth, and the field is immaculate.
If Busch is baseball heaven, then Wrigley Field is that other place, a sort of baseball hell where fans can purchase a ticket only to find their seat obstructed by a support beam, or located so far under the upper deck that fly balls are not visible, like watching the game from a tunnel. So distant is the upper deck, the game is just a rumor.
For years, Chicago has conned the baseball world into believing Wrigley Field preserved the tradition of baseball; that it is the seminal stadium from which the popularity of baseball grew. Nostalgia is pushed on fans, many of whom paid $25-$50 to park in a near-by resident's garage or the ever popular convent parking lot where nuns finger $20 bills with the dexterity of a bookie.
By June, the brick outfield wall is covered with leafy vines into which batted balls often disappear for ground rule doubles. So quaint is this lost dimension into which baseballs vanish that a local commercial features a former Cub player "finding" other lost items in the vines, including former Cub Andre Dawson who is pulled free, asking "What year is it?"
So rabid were Cubs fans, they wanted you to believe, that when an opposing player hit a home run, fans tossed the ball back onto the field in disgust, willing to forfeit a treasured souvenir in a show of solidarity with their team. What the world doesn't know is that most of the outfield fans carry a beat up K mart baseball with them, which they substitute for the cherished home run ball when re-depositing it onto the field.
The manually operated scoreboard is either a heart-warming throwback to simpler times or purely Luddite. Inside the ancient cavern sits an actual human being who climbs up on a platform to the corresponding game and manually posts the score. The Cubs game itself is done inning-by-inning, with hits and errors dutifully recorded with hand-posted numerals. Only the count, batter number and outs are done electronically.
While some teams use their scoreboards for disseminating information about local groups in attendance, contests, features, replays, etc. Wrigley Field's scoreboard is Spartan, offering the score and little else, thus forcing fans to pay attention to what is occurring on the field, a grisly affair the past several seasons.
Perhaps the most curious aspect of Wrigley Field are the freeloaders who squat on various neighboring rooftops in seats only marginally less distant than Voyager II. They don't just pilfer the game as they once did, years ago, when they put out a few lawn chairs and watched a couple of innings from across the street. Building owners have erected stadium seating – large metal bleachers onto which dozens of people sit, often paying large sums of money to sit across the street, at least 200 feet further than the farthest outfield seat. Literally hundreds of fans cram into these steep bleachers in full view of fire inspectors and building code enforcement, convinced that they are enjoying a unique experience.
The worst seat at Busch Stadium is a field box compared to these, yet they are more coveted that the handful of decent seats inside Wrigley itself.
They have another tradition, that of singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in the 7th inning, led off-key by some minor celebrity dragged in to aver his undying allegiance to a team whose moniker is "The Lovable Losers."
And they are, in more ways than one.

JACKSON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - A large gas line fire has been extinguished after burning for several hours on Highway 79 between Scottsboro and Guntersville.
The fire started shortly after 11 a.m. Friday when Alabama Department of Transportation construction crews were working on guard rails at the Mini Creek Bridge and struck the gas main with a post.
All lanes of U.S. Highway 79 around mile marker 85 were closed and traffic was detoured. By 4:30 p.m., northbound lanes had reopened and crews were still working to reopen the innermost southbound lane. ALDOT officials said the outer southbound lane would remain closed at least through the weekend.
Officials on the scene said no one was injured. However, the amount of damage to the area was significant. "The amount of gas that was being burned at that time damaged the roadways and the power lines," said Jackson County Emergency Management Director Mike Ashburn.
Ashburn said the North Alabama Electric Cooperative is working to restore power to the affected area.

Learn the best instructions on using time out for kids, after child aggression occurs, which can be used as a home or preschool discipline for young children. Dealing with a child behavior problem can be frustrating, but it doesn't always have to be. The most important part about using this technique is remaining consistent and always following through. Simply follow the steps below every time the behavior is displayed.
I like to always mention, prior to doing time out, it is also important to make sure behavioral problems are not due to other reasons, such as lack of sleep or medication side effects. Reading my free eBook is a great way to learn what may be an underlying cause for meltdowns and other undesirable behavior. Once you have ruled out any of these possibilities, time outs for kids become much easier!
Many parents may attempt to do time out for kids and after the child puts up even a small fight, they give up. However, kids are going to put up a fight no matter what consequence you choose.
What you have to decide is what not only works best for your child, but what also works best for you. I personally like the Parenting with Love and Logic books, but I know it can be difficult to apply the techniques at times.For some it is easier to have specific steps to follow when disciplining children and the Parenting with Love and Logic books require more creativity in determining what consequences to give. I still highly recommend reading them to use along with time out for kids, which when all techniques are combined it is likely to substantially help with any behavior problems including following directions and disrespectful behavior.
How to Begin: Start on a day that you are going to be home the entire day and if possible the entire next day. Tell your kids (if 2 and older), that from now on you will be putting them in a time out if they do any of the behaviors you typically have a problem with. Specifically state each behavior (e.g. hitting, kicking, refusing to follow directions, back talking etc.).
Choose a Place to Do Time Out for Kids: Pick a chair in the corner of the room, a mat on the floor, step or some other designated area as your time out spot and show it to your kids. If you have ever watched Supernanny, I think it is a great show to see the effort involved in getting time out to work and the results from doing them consistently. (See below for an example video)
However, I don't really like calling the time out spot the "naughty chair" or the "naughty step." I just personally feel it can lead to kids labeling themselves as naughty when you really just want to focus on the behavior that is bad not the child being bad.
Give a Warning: Generally,
for mild behaviors such as back talking or refusing to follow directions you
may choose to give one warning prior to doing a child time out. Ex. If you talk
to me that way again, you will go in time out. Or If you do not stop doing that
you will go in time out. For a very serious behavior that seriously harms another person, you may choose to just immediately put the child in time out without a warning.
Put the Child in Time Out: If the child does the behavior again, or does a serious behavior:
I personally really like the audible time timer that lets them see the time passing. It's especially great if you need to restart the time out because they are not cooperating.
What to Do When they Refuse: When you first try this method, expect them to refuse or to engage in other behaviors as a way to avoid the time out. They might run away, laugh and make silly faces or noises while sitting in the chair. They might hit and kick you on the way to the chair.
Ignore all other behaviors and continue to put the
child back on the chair/spot anytime they try to leave. This can take multiple times of placing them in the
spot, on Supernanny it can take more than one hour and require more than 50 times
of placing kids in one time out. Stay Strong! You CAN do this! It WILL pay off!
Restart the Timer: Every time the child leaves the spot, restart the timer. Simply say, "That is so sad, it looks like I will have to restart the timer." This may take multiple times of doing this, mainly on the first day, as long as you are consistent.
I also think for older children (5 and up) it is appropriate to restart the timer if they are talking, making silly faces, or noises etc. The goal is to have a time out for kids that requires them to sit appropriately and quietly during the entire time. It's not really a time out if they seem to be having fun while they are doing it.
Ending Time Out: When the timer goes off, go over to your child and ask them why they were in time out. You may need to facilitate this somewhat. Encourage them to apologize to you and any offended person and/or encourage a child to say, "Would you forgive me?" Then hug.
This gives you the opportunity as a caregiver or parent to say, "Of course I forgive you." It also teaches a child how to handle a situation in which they did something that requires forgiveness, without necessarily having to say they're sorry when they may not be.
I have also found that it is great to use time out for kids that have a hard time following directions. Although, if you have kids with other serious behaviors, start with using it for those first and then consider using it to encourage direction following.
We were having a very difficult time with our oldest son and I even admit that I was getting very frustrated. I hated nagging and asking multiple times only to come back and find that he STILL had not gotten dressed like I had asked.
So, we started giving warnings… "If you do not get dressed in the next 5 minutes, you will go in time out." "If you do not go brush your teeth, you will go in time out." It took a couple time outs at first, but now he is much better at following directions the first time and on occasion still needs a warning.
We also have tried positive behavior supports to make things as reinforcing as possible for the good days he has that do not require any time outs. For this we use a behavior chart with time out for kids, and give him a star for each good day he has without any time outs. After he has a certain number of stars he earns special activities and toys.
