						<description>&lt;div class=&quot;image_block&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.spinerippergames.com/media/blogs/news/motovational-wildfire.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Wildfires: Natures Forrest Management&quot; title=&quot;Wildfires Motovational Poster&quot; width=&quot;375&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, this is no joking matter, the stats for the recent spate of wildfires is staggering, thousands of acres burned, hundreds of homes destroyed, and we are really just at the beginning.  This will get a lot worse before this fire season is open.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am truly sorry for everyone who has been harmed by these events.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So why the joke?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, it's to make a point.  I'm sure the greenies will blame &quot;Climate Change&quot; since that is their mantra, and they repeat it religiously.  However, this may be the worst year we remember, but we have wildfires every year.  Why is this year worse?  Why do they keep getting worse?  Is this year actually worse?  Not yet, but it's still early.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is my opinion that we have failed in our responsibility to manage the forrests.  We should be logging, getting rid of the dead wood, thinning our the forrests so that what is left is healthy.  We simply don't do this as much as we should.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yep, that's right, it is the fault of the greenies that protest logging and prevent proper forrest management that are causing this disaster, and this won't be the last.  Even if we started proper forrest management today, there are too few left in that industry and too many acres that need help.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't get me wrong, I'm for responsible forrest management, not clearing and planting.  It's more expensive to not clear, but not as expensive as these fires will be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spinerippergames.com/index.php/2012/06/19/recent-wildfire-woes?blog=8&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>So, I'm looking up SEO services</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;My boss has me looking up SEO services, and I do the normal thing, and go to google.  I see the paid links, and after I scroll past those it hits me.  If they have to pay google to get good search results, how the hell are they going to improve our ranking.  So now, I'm thinking, if we want to be in the top 6, I should only look at SEO companies that have the top 3 spots on the main SEO search terms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just my thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spinerippergames.com/index.php/2011/04/12/so-i-m-looking-up-seo-services?blog=8&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;It's weird, you'd think me being between jobs, I'd be spending more time here.  I haven't though.  What I am doing is looking for work, and catching up on the games I haven't been playing.  Not a real constructive use of time.  I've also been keeping my skills up to date and such, but that's a constant.  I will try to be here ore though.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spinerippergames.com/index.php/2009/04/08/been-awhile?blog=8&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Along with the other site changes, you'll now see some ads on the site.  I promise to never use pop-ups, and I won't use anything I believe to be unsafe.  Right now all the ads are powered by google, and I hope to keep it that way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They'll look like....&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;float:right; clear:both; margin:5px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;!-- Paste from here... --&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--

/* 468x60, created 4/23/08 */
google_ad_slot = &quot;8454108875&quot;;
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
