How do you get half your bets back on zeros, is it a promotion or something?
You must be very very new to roulette.
a)The player can "imprison" the bet. This means the bet stays where it is. Then if the bet wins on the next spin, the bet is returned to the player.
b)Or the player may surrender half of the bet. The en prison option lowers the house advantage to 2.7%.If you are playing the European Roulette which has one green, the 0, and with the en prison rule, the house edge is reduced further to a respectable 1.35%.
I have never seen a European wheel in Las Vegas and I lived here for 22 years. I guess that would not work for me.
First of all, there are a few casinos that offer a European wheel.
which means a 2.70% casino advantage.
Once I get that $10,000 bankroll VEGAS HERE I COME BABY!
Just want to let you guys know..THIS METHOD WORKS!!!
You need at least two tables running for this to be effective though.
Do these things and you can win as a roulette player.
I am building my bankroll at the moment. When I hit my goal, I can then do it full time.
I am going to throw a small amount in a "trusted" online casino, to see if it is effective online as well.
I have tested this in "play mode", but who really knows if it will produce the same results when you play "real mode" .
Playing in the casino is cool, but it can take quite a while. If this works online, then I can play anywhere, at anytime.
Stop paying for these horrible scam systems.
Most people do not have these 5 things when they play.
Good Luck to all of you guys in your pursuit.
I will be back to share my results.
has losing sessions and knowing how to deal them is so important.
gambler I meet, "Grind Baby Grind", I've sworn by this for some time now.
but you have the greatest advantage, you can leave anytime you want!
Looks like you are beginning to pick up a following. There would be a lot more if they didn't have to jump up and change tables every few minutes. Have you considered just changing EC pairs? This seems to work on the European wheel, I am not sure about the American. The arrangement of the numbers is very different. I know "If it ain't broke don't fix it' but if we didn't try to make improvements we would still be in the stone age. If it works it will take a lot of the grind out of your play. I recognize the need for a break between stages, but as long as the EC pair are not playing in parallel it should be equal to changing tables. I don't have an American table handy so any testing will have to be done your end. Though I doubt that your RNG results are based on an American table.
I found some records from 1980, most of my stuff from that era has been dumped because I didn't record numbers. You would have loved it then, two different casinos, Gaberone and Sun City, both spinning at 80 plus an hour. These days you are lucky to get 30, and if they are busy not even 20. My records show I averaged 10 units an hour on a BR of 50 units. I was betting all 3 of the EC pairs. I never lost my whole BR because I never risked it all. If I wasn't winning I switched to something else. My favourite was to check the last 24 Nos. This woukld leave about 17 or 18 that hadn't showed. I looked for those that could be linked on the layout and ran a series of flat bets. This never failed to recover a few chips to soften my loss.
It's funny, I was thinking of you this morning when going through some of my IM's.
1 in 64. Having 4 levels of play in the strategy that's 1 in 64 X 1 in 64 X 1 in 64 X 1 in 64.
to any of these endless arguements that system players can never win.
my betting. If I see a few series of consecutive colors of 3 or 4, I don't jump in.
spins, I'll chart if I run into a higher series of consecutives in the next 20 to 30 spins.
to go to Level 4, it has shown I make more based on the much lower bankroll.
level 4, especially if I'm way ahead and the lost doesn't hurt the bankroll.
loved it! 10 units an hour on a bankroll of 50, now that's positive results!
The best results were from a very strong 2 stage method, but the swings were quite large. A high moderate 3 stage came 2nd. The BR required was nearly 3 times as much but the risk factor was less than 50% more. The return per 100 units was 0.75 units lower. In practice I found a weak 3 stage method was best. It cost only 50% more. The swings and risk were much less, which made up for the fact the return was 2units per 100 less. You have noticed simular results, with stage 3 costing twice as much as 1 & 2 combined, and stage 4 costing twice as much as 1-2-3 combined.
Obviously you are reluctant to change a system which has proved so successful. The fact that you have already done some experimentation with success made me point out some areas where your system might be improved. Remember if you can eliminate 1 stage you can double the base unit bet.
Give it some thought. Your RNG testing has proved the viability, why not now use it to test some tweaks and improvements.
the 4th Level, my testing is showing good results even though there are more losts.
honest I only have a few trials so far. Will keep at it.
I wasted the gift the guy upstairs gave me. Oh well, that's life. Have to run Harry!
I saw you posted on the projectX thread. I don,t normally read it but I saw they were claiming HG so I took a peek. The idea of waiting 3000 spins to make a bet then needing a spread of 10,000 (0,10-1000) must have scared your pants off. I get the jitters with a spread of over 100. The EC progession I posted had a BR of 250 units but I can't remember using much above 1/2 of that. The extra was because I often had 2EC's in play at the same time.
Louie the difference in EC results may be because of the way the numbers are arranged on the American wheel. They are not as random as on the European.
I didn't even swich my computer on yesterday so missed all the excitment on the other thread. I must now go and closely read it all to see if thereis anything I can add.
these new customers playing long hours all making a few dollars everyday.
ranges. Oh well, I'm looking forward to see how this plays out!
flaws of my thinking, my math is possibly wrong, I'm not a mathematician.
RNG's built in to similate moving from table to table, for I feel is a big factor.
even then, I would be interested just to see the results on a continuous run.
I would just like to confirm I've been using Louie's red/black strategy with a limited stop loss and 3 levels of play for 2 days running - on each day I successfully increased my bankroll by the target of 5% so I'm now at £720.90. It's not a huge bankroll but I only started at £240 so not done too bad.
I can confirm the system does work - it is the case from what I've seen on William Hill and elsewhere that streaks of one colour do occur more then red/black/red/black etc. I started on a unit of £5 then increased by £3 for every loss up to £17 so 5 stages to the 1st level of play. The 3 levels of play equal £300 so it's perfect for those with a smaller bankroll. Louie just altered his bankroll requirements of $1730 to mine. I will be continuing with this system for the time being as even if it does fall flat the profit will outweigh it. Plus I'll have to lose odds of 32/1 three times on 3 different tables for this to happen. As my bankroll increases I may increase to 4 levels or increase the starting bets in the current 3 levels.
It's worth trying out if you're interested in a system with good odds of making a quick profit and you can also alter the bet limits to fit your goals/ bankroll.
Thanks again Louie for this system - here's to more wins!
level 3, luck changed and I picked up 5 wins at the next 2 tables.
level 1. Played a few more session and ended up a little over $350.
with some friends and even donated a little to a few slot machines.
this thread. I know a few of them don't post but I do get a few IM's.
which all the math guys say is the point where all system fail so be it.
I play and I enjoy it, do your own testing and realize you can lose!


The club was saddened to learn of the death of former Red Liam Hunston on Monday last. A dual star in the 1950s, he collected a Senior Medal with the club as net minder in the 1957 decider. He played for Offaly Minors in 1954 only to be beaten by a last minute point by eventual All-Ireland winners Dublin in Portlaoise.
Liam was also a fine hurler and was part of the historic 1952 Minor Hurling winning team beating Birr 5-08 to 2-03 in the final. Our only other title at this level came in 1928.
With growing season in full swing our ground staff have been extremely busy keeping on top of all the grass across the clubs facilities. Due to a planning delay works on the new lands are on hold but we are confident that will change in the coming weeks. In April the club received a request for Further Information from Offaly County Council. In relation to certain aspects of our planning application. In recent weeks we have been meeting with Officials from Offaly County Council. in order to resolve the outstanding issues. We are pleased to announce that we have made a formal response and we are now due a decision by July 13. We are hopeful of a positive decision and if successful we aim to immediately set about completing works on site. This will involve the erection of new entrance, boundary fencing, goalposts, ball stops, pitch side fencing, pathways and car parking. The pitches themselves are in excellent condition and are thickening up nicely. Some of our adult teams will be using the pitches for training purposes shortly, however for health and safety reasons our underage teams won't be able to use the pitches until such time as all the works on site are complete. At this stage we are hopeful this would be before the end of the season.
Bingo and Lotto draw takes place every Sunday Night at 8pm in the Clubhouse, Doors open at 6:45pm ample supervised car parking on the GAA grounds. €1,000 must be won every Sunday night. Bingo jackpot now stands at €2,300 next week.
An Email service has been setup by Edenderry Gaa in conjunction with PRO role within the club, if you have any information or communications that you as an Edenderry cub member want published send it to pro.edenderry.offaly@gaa.ie. Please send any match reports, photos etc as it will not be possible to physically attend all matches that the club are involved in.

Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos on Tuesday reiterated calls for the return of the Parthenon Marbles during a meeting at the Presidential Mansion in Athens with the president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights advocacy group, Kerry Kennedy, and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Marianna Vardinoyannis.
"This is the reason why it is a great cause of sorrow – and even frustration – that the authorities in Great Britain insist on covering up the crime of theft committed by Elgin and to tamper with historic truth, without the required respect for our civilization and its symbols," Pavlopoulos was quoted by the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) as saying.
"It is easy to blame Lord Elgin but he has been gone for awhile. This is an ongoing and perpetual crime, which is being perpetuated by the British government. It is hard for the specific democracy to continue to claim it is liberal while it continues to commit and perpetuate such a crime against Greece," the ANA-MPA quoted Kennedy as saying.
Vardinoyannis also highlighted the fact that Kennedy had volunteered to talk about the return of the Marbles on her own initiative and to defend Greece's positions for their return during her travels around the world, the ANA-MPA said.

People who are undergoing medical treatment are often in particularly vulnerable situations. When a doctor fails to competently perform his or her medical duties, a medical malpractice case may arise. Medical malpractice lawsuits are a type of personal injury case that are often brought by patients who suffer some sort of harm or damage while undergoing medical treatment. Understanding the basics of medical malpractice cases can help you determine whether you should enlist the help of an experienced medical malpractice attorney for more information.
The rules of medical malpractice cases differ from state to state. However, there are some aspects that most medical malpractice cases have in common. For instance, most medical malpractice cases fall into three broad categories – failure to warn of known risks, improper treatment, and failure to diagnose. Doctors have a duty to warn patients of known risks, a process known as informed consent (this point has come up recently in the death of the famed comedienne Joan Rivers — did she know death was a risk of her outpatient surgery?). Doctors who fail to notify a patient of known risks may be liable for medical malpractice if the patient can show that he or she would not have otherwise chosen to go through with the procedure. Improper treatment occurs when a doctor treats the patient in a way that no other competent doctor would. Lastly, failure to diagnose cases can arise when a competent doctor would have either made a different diagnosis or discovered an illness that would have led to a better outcome than the outcome actually achieved by the patient.
In order to establish a medical malpractice claim in Los Angeles a potential plaintiff must meet several requirements, which an experienced personal injury attorney can discuss with you in depth.
First, the individual must be able to show that a physician-patient relationship existed between him or herself and the treating individual.
Second, the plaintiff must be able to show that the doctor was negligent. Establishing negligence goes beyond showing an adverse result, rather, the plaintiff must be able to show that the doctor was not reasonably careful and skillful when treating or diagnosing the patient.
Third, the plaintiff must be able to show causation – that the negligence of the doctor was the cause of a particular injury or damage. Here, the patient can use medical expert testimony to help prove the doctor's negligence.
Fourth, and finally, the plaintiff must be able to show that the injury led to measurable damages. Damages can include compensation for lost earnings or ability to work, medical bills, physical pain, and mental suffering. These are the basic elements to establish a case of medical malpractice, though the necessary elements in your case may vary depending on where your case is brought and the particulars of your claim.
It is important to keep in mind that medical malpractice cases should be brought soon after you have suffered an injury. If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, speaking to a savvy attorney can help ensure that you are properly compensated.

Dine Out with MasterCard to Fight Cancer
MasterCard has teamed up with Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), a cancer research organization, to launch "Dig In & Do Good," a fundraising effort to help researchers find a way to eradicate cancer. MasterCard holders can help this drive by eating out and paying the bill with their MasterCard.
To participate, just use a consumer or small business MasterCard to pay for any meal that's over $10. MasterCard will donate one cent per meal. If you use the PayPass feature that's on some MasterCards and charge over $10, the donated amount will be two cents per meal. Cardholders can visit any type of restaurant, from fast food to fine dining to ballpark concession stands. Even take-out meals will trigger a donation.
"Through the 'Dig In and Do Good' campaign, raising funds for cancer research is as easy as eating lunch with your colleagues or having dinner with your family," said Stand Up to Cancer co-founder and Council of Founders and Advisors member Rusty Robertson in a statement.
"The 'Dig In and Do Good' program gives our cardholders a simple way to stand up to cancer when they sit down for a meal and join us in support of a cause that is personal for so many of us," said Alfredo Gangotena, chief marketing officer, MasterCard, in a statement. "It's an extension of our commitment to give our cardholders meaningful and unique ways to make a difference while going about their daily lives and doing the things they enjoy."
Cardholders can visit the MasterCard Stand Up To Cancer website to encourage their friends, family members and colleagues to also join in MasterCard's efforts to raise four million dollars through this program by using social media tools to set up events through Facebook or spreading the word through Twitter and LinkedIn. When dining out, cardholders can check into restaurants and dining establishments through Foursquare and promote the program to their friends. They can also show support through any of the program's twelve celebrity ambassadors or ten ambassador organizations.
One of these ambassadors is two-time Emmy-winning actor Eric Stonestreet, who is currently plays Cameron Tucker on the hit comedy "Modern Family."
"Like most people, cancer has personally affected my life. My mother is a two-time survivor and unfortunately more of my family and friends have been touched by this tragic disease. That's why I am honored to support Stand Up To Cancer and their collaboration with MasterCard's 'Dig In and Do Good' campaign," said Eric Stonestreet in a statement. "Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer."
The program also features an in-stream hashtag donation campaign. With its partner Chirpify, MasterCard will be able to offer its cardholders the ability to directly donate to Stand Up To Cancer through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The program launched on July 12 and is running through September 28 and is good only at U.S. restaurants using MasterCard cards issued by U.S. financial institutions. To date, MasterCard has raised over $12 million for SU2C.
Stand Up To Cancer strives to end cancer by funding innovative research projects to get new therapies on the market. It does this through two types of grants: Dream Team grants and Innovative Research grants. Dream Team grants fund multi-institutional groups of scientists to promote collaboration. Innovative Research grants fund groundbreaking cancer research projects that could be very risky, but they could also have a lot of impact in terms of patient care. Since its founding in May 2008, it's given $161 million in funding to research teams examining several types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate, melanoma, leukemia, lung and colorectal.

The square is one of the most visited sights in Beijing, if not in China. It is a huge place, filled with locals and tourists alike and is the favored place of kite-fliers. You can watch many children running around, flying their kites.
Visiting the square both by day and at night is worth your time, because in any time of the day, the place is just spectacular. At night, the surrounding official buildings are all lit up, and surround the square in a flood of light. You should be careful though not to stay after 10:30pm, because otherwise you will be escorted out by soldiers, who come to close up the park for night.
By various buses (no. 1, 4, 10, 22, 52 or 57) or by subway 1, 2.
Nice, quiet, more like a living wonder.

When a loved one is suffering from an eating disorder, it's normal to be desperate to help. Unfortunately, since eating disorders operate according to their own logic, your well-meaning words can sound like something completely different to the victim.
When I was in recovery, members of my support group and I would commiserate about how the following phrases messed with our heads. Most stem from ignorance or impatience, and some would be perfectly nice compliments—if only they weren't filtered through the lens of an eating disorder.
There's no such thing as looking like you have an eating disorder. Some eating disorders involve overeating, some involve undereating, some involve bingeing and purging, and many include a combination of these symptoms.
The victim's appearance does not even reveal which of these symptoms are present, since different bodies have different set points that make weight gain or loss difficult despite changes in food intake. For example, some victims can be overweight while still dangerously restricting calories.
Hearing "You don't look like you have an eating disorder" is especially devastating because it echoes the broken record already playing through many victims' minds: "You're not thin enough." It also neglects the psychological suffering that characterizes eating disorders and implies that those with less visible symptoms require less care or sympathy. In reality, eating disorders know no shape, size, gender, race, or age.
Picture your greatest fear, whether that's heights, snakes, or getting stuck in small spaces. Now try to tell yourself, "Just bungee jump off a ten-thousand-foot cliff" or "just jump into a pile of cobras" or "just crawl into that tiny crevice." Food may seem innocuous in comparison, but if you have an irrational fear, you can understand that reassurance of your safety doesn't make you less afraid.
If somebody is suffering from a restrictive eating disorder, it is the responsibility of a therapist, nutritionist, inpatient nurse, or other professional to help them eat. While you may feel helpless if you sit there and do nothing, it's best to stay out of your loved one's eating habits because you can't control them. All you can do is encourage your loved one to seek professional help.
You can find more suggestions and resources to help a loved one with an eating disorder on Anorexia and Related Eating Disorders, Help Guide, and the National Eating Disorders Association.
It's a common misconception that people indulge in eating disorders out of vanity or shortsightedness. But an eating disorder is a disease, not a lifestyle choice.
Schizophrenics aren't stupid for having hallucinations. People with depression aren't stupid for being sad. In short, mental health challenges don't reflect the intelligence or character of the victim.
Sure, the eating disorder itself is stupid. The lies it tells your loved one about their self-worth are stupid. But hate the perpetrator, not the victim. In fact, if someone confides in you about their eating disorder, it could be useful to separate the eating disorder from the victim and express that you think the eating disorder's beliefs are dead wrong and are sorry that the victim has to hear them all day.
There's a suspicious assumption made throughout our culture that women's choices are based on men. I see you, patriarchy.
Hornbacher also aptly describes the causes of her disorder as "endless and cross-referenced and footnoted and referred to other causes." These causes can include family dynamics, genetics, and traumatic events in one's past. Assuming someone with an eating disorder is trying to look good is terribly reductionistic, and suggesting they recover in order to look good defeats the purpose of combating the eating disorder's obsession with appearance.
It's best not to comment on an eating disorder victim's appearance at all. On the flipside, telling someone they look too thin or sick can make them defensive or ashamed. If you want to compliment them, focus on inner qualities or accomplishments. Since eating disorders are linked to self-objectification, it can actually help to remind people with eating disorders of the value they hold outside their appearance.
The damage zone of an eating disorder extends far beyond its victims. Friends, family, and other affiliates suffer as well. But there are certain aspects of eating disorders that you cannot understand unless you've experienced them yourself.
That's why, when speaking with eating disorder victims, what not to say is as important as what to say. Don't blame the victim (or yourself), don't make assumptions about the victim's motives, and don't exacerbate the problem.
Listen and try to see the situation from your loved one's perspective – even if it's a perspective you don't entirely understand. You can't and shouldn't try to cure them, but if you earn the position of a trusted confidant, you might make their experience a little less lonely.

FHC Soccer Dominates for a Big Win on Senior Night
Kyle Peirce , Sports Writer
When a team doesn't get the ball on offense, it generally doesn't bode well for the rest of the game. That was the case for Cedar Springs as FHC soccer dominated its final home game 6-0. The Rangers (13-6) won on senior night in a game that wasn't close from the opening whistle. The win also meant that the FHC soccer team is the champion of the OK White conference .
Head coach Blair Lincoln was very pleased with winning the title after the adversity the team faced early in the year.
"You don't want to be at your best in August," Lincoln said. "By having a vision with the guys and knowing where we want to go and having confidence and chemistry, that builds and ultimately our senior leadership has been really strong."
The seniors for FHC certainly played a big role in the win Thursday, with seniors Mo Haji and Kevin Conn each scoring a goal to open the flood gates for FHC in the first half. Junior Sam Postlewait had the third goal of the first half. When the Rangers came back out for the 2nd half it was more of the same. FHC would go on to put three more on the scoreboard. There were times when Cedar Springs wouldn't be able to get the ball on FHC's side of the field for minutes, giving FHC the advantage all game long.
Kevin was pleased with the way the team sent its seniors out.
"We came out and performed," Kevin said. "I think it was a team performance; it was good to let everybody play and get their minutes and put a few in the back of the net."
Mo was equally enthused about the result and what it meant for this team's season.
"For me, it was special because it was senior night," Mo said. "It was my first game back so I'm just happy to be back and it's good to win the conference once again."
The players were happy about the win, and Lincoln credited most of the success to Mo and Kevin.
"[Mo and Kevin] played well," Lincoln said. "They combined for a couple goals and they're dynamic. They play very hard and they can find the net. We hope they can continue to do so."
It was a great win for FHC, showing it's relentless attack in a game that had so much on the line.
"Emotions were running," Kevin said. "It started to kick in during warm ups where I realized that this was my last game on FHC's field."
The Rangers now look toward the postseason, hoping to make a run like last year's team.
"I just believe in hard work," Mo said. "The way this team played against Lowell and FHN was great. If we play like that I think we can take down anyone."

Q: How to change texts color inside Diacritical mark? I am following a tutorial on YouTube. But when I code inside of a diacritical mark, the color of my text is different from the tutorials and it does not suggest like the tutorial, but it still works. How do I  fix it?
This is my code:

This is what it looks like in the tutorial:

I had tried to lose weight in the past with no success. I joined CNC and went on the modified fast program. I really found it easy to follow and liked knowing what I could eat every day. The weight came off week after week, I also was doing some cardio exercise, but then added weights 3 times a week, and the inches really started to come off. I now love to exercise, and go to the gym 5-6 times per week. The weight loss for me has been nothing but positive!
I used to have lots of allergy problems and asthma, and now I have no asthma, and very few allergies! I also have a lot more energy and I feel very confident in everything I do! I even started a new job last year that I really wanted and it's going great! My family and friends are so excited for me. I even got my husband to eat better, and he goes to the gym with me now and he has lost 35 lbs!
I would recommend CNC to anyone who wants to change their life and learn to eat correctly. I thought the program was very easy to follow, and everyone at CNC is very helpful and supportive. It took me about seven months to lose all of my weight, and I have kept it off for more than 1 year already! It is nice to know you can eat all foods in moderation, and still look and feel great!

I should really leave this, as Cas's answer nearly says it all. There are other sorts of ellipsis, though, that make those Google stats almost totally irrelevant; beware what you ask for - you might get several million hits.
Here are three, taken from the first screenful; I lost interest after that:
I'm not that much like me either. . . by Fiona 'Words Bird' Cowan · Guest Member on 3-Oct-06 9:48am. Fiona 'Words Bird' Cowan
I am willing to pay the person who helps me either a commission or royalties on the money that is made with this idea.
Due to my excessive travel the airlines now have to decide whether to give me either astronaut wings or seat upgrades.
So, to give a fuller answer to dihen's original question, 'There are contexts that happen to allow the concatenation of me and either. In the context you have supplied, the versions to learn and use are "Me neither", "I don't like it either", or "Neither do I".'
riverkid
Originally Posted by Casiopea
me either pops up in that context, yes. Ellipsis is the culprit:
A: It doesn't work for me.
B: (It doesn't work for) me, either. / Me, either.
A: I don't like it.
B: (As for) me, (I don't like it) either.
A: I haven't seen the film.
B: (As for) me, (I haven't seen the film) either.
The question is, however, is shortened me, either considered standard usage in those contexts? (Google doesn't help us on that one, riverkid.)
What would help us in this case, Casi? There is a great deal of ellipsis in speech and it's completely unremarkable. How many times must it be said; the rules of Standard English do not describe the rules for speech.
You've shown us with your analysis above just how completely natural 'me either' is.
On a related topic, would you say both Neither do I (post #4) and Either do I work as responses for "I don't like it"? Why or why not? If yes, is Either do I considered standard usage?
Please note that, dihen asked, "Should I say...?", not What do people say? Dihen is aware that there's a variation out there - hence the question.
Did I suggest that 'either do I' is an idiomatic response? When ESLs ask such a question, they must be given an adequate reponse to let them know what to expect in all language situations.
Once again,, what grammatical reasons are there that would exclude 'me either'?
All the best to you too, Casi?

Hopefully my picks here will generate a new thread and a new discussion.
Google as a Quick 'n Dirty Corpus Tool
by Thomas Robb
...anyone can make a web page these days including non-native speakers and first graders. This would seem to make Google useless as a source for such answers—or is it?
Google can be used to derive creditable information in a number of ways:
1) Instances might be found from "impeccable sources" which would authenticate its usage.
2) We can show, by a careful selection of domains, that the frequency of occurrence of the word or phrase under scrutiny shows up with a similar relative frequency even in domains where one would expect educated usage.
3) Strength of collocation - We can demonstrate that [me] collocates with the word in question [neither], even in domains indicating educated usage.
As a corpus tool, using Google in this way has these drawbacks:
-You can only search for specific words or phrases, not word categories or inflected forms [or modified forms, such as those that are the result of ellipsis].
-There is no control over the educational level, nationality, or other characteristics of the creators of the utterances found,...
-You have no control over the registers in the "corpus".
-You cannot obtain accurate frequency statistics since there is no guarantee that the instances found are unique. In fact, duplicate hits are common.
-You cannot subsort on adjacent words nor can you generate frequency lists or a list of collocates.
On the positive side,
-It is much more accessible than any corpus.
-The database is huge compared to any existing corpus.
-The index sites include blogs and discussions, which come very close to spoken language whereas much of the data in formal corpora are from more formal written styles.
-The foregoing indicates that there are instances when Google can take the place of a specialized corpus when the main object is to identify whether a particular phrase is used or not and perhaps to indicate to what extent it is used by educated speakers or writers compared to the "general masses" of public web pages.
Search Engine TestFurther judgment: the Google test checks popular usage, not correctness. ... will remain an extremely inconsistent tool, which does not measure notability. ...
The Google test is a useful tool. It is not perfect, nor is it the only measure ... Google/the internet is biased against American usage over other English ...
Common Errors in English
Google gives a measure of popularity by ranking its results in order of the number of links other people have created to them.
"Foreign" language keyword research
Well I tend to favor Google Adwords suggestion tool, though any result of this kind of tools should be taken with "a pinch of salt" : they are influenced by ranking checking softwares. Dont forget your common sense then.
Also I do keyword research by frequenting the target audience. Ie if I have to search make-up related keywords, I will go in female forums and communities to have an idea of the real keywords they use.
This one's just funny:
Using Google to write correct sentences | Antimoon Forum
I think "suggest sb to do sth" is acceptable. I searched for "suggested me to" and found 3,000 instances in sentences that were written in perfectly good English.
Can you say that 3,000 native speakers used an incorrect phrase? I'm very interested in your understanding of correctness. If the Web -- a collection of documents written by native speakers -- is a flawed source of knowledge about English, then what sort of source is acceptable?
My conclusion from the 3,000 hits is that "suggest sb to do sth" is natural enough to be used by native speakers from time to time. I think there is no reason to correct a learner who uses this phrase.
I took a closer look at the results returned by Google for a number of variations of "suggest sb to do sth", and I must admit you're right. The majority of the pages seem to have been written by non-natives. So, the phrase probably IS incorrect.
I guess this shows that using the Web to verify hypotheses about the English language is quite tricky. Thank you for investigating this. I will have to be more careful in the future!
They must be given an adequate response to let them know what to expect in all language situations.
That is exactly the point. Empower students. Give 'em the good, the bad, and the ugly. Show 'em the function, the distribution, and above all the whys. Your contribution failed to do that; it listed both variants as equally acceptable; they're not. You need to state that. Otherwise, you need to prove they are equally acceptable. And you haven't been able to convince us of that, yet. One needn't subscribe to Ps or Ds to know that certain grammatical constructs are the way they are because they admit clarity. That's not Grammar, it's common sense.
Actually, no. 'natural' isn't a term I'd use to describe the variation.
My intention in unraveling the data like that was to show ellipsis; that googling 'me either' isn't all that scientific if you don't know what it is you're looking at and looking for.
Now, you could parse 'me either' as I have done (Shown here in [2] below) with the assumption that 'not' is there at an underlying level. But is that plausible? Do speakers really *think* that way? No. Too many words, too much baggage. Language change is simplex and much more efficient than that.
[1] As for me, I do not like it either => Me, neither.
[2] As for me, I do not like it, either => Me, either
Once again, what grammatical reasons are there that would exclude 'me either'?
The semantics of tags.
===========For example:
I don't like driving in heavy traffic.
[Me neither] is the same as "Neither do I," but it's colloquial, not grammatical. "Me either" doesn't make sense—it would be like saying "Either you or I like driving in heavy traffic." Since the first person has said she doesn't like such driving, "Me either" would mean that the second person does enjoy it.

Now, You could also parse 'me either' as a replacement for 'me too', which by the way is a more plausible solution, not to mention the one speakers are most likely adopting.
B: Me, too. => Me, either.
The next question, riverkid, are 'either' and 'too' interchangeable in that context?

There's no doubt that Google has its limitations, Casi. To my mind that's not really the central issue right now.
For me, it's these ongoing attempts to marginalize some perfectly natural uses by categorizing them as outside of Standard English.
Standard English is not the high water mark by which all aspects of English have to be or should be measured. We all use nonstandard English in speech daily. Surely, it's better to inform students of how and when these collocations are used than to take, what to my mind is an all too easy way out, and simply dismiss them as, what appears to be, again to my mind, nonstandard = incorrect.
I think that ESLs have been given a much too much overly simplified version of how language works, particularly wrt these ongoing issues of what's "right and wrong".
STANDARD ENGLISH, STANDARD. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
Every commentator on usage eventually comes back to these two terms and to what is or is not Standard, even though, despite its many objectively measurable qualities, any definition of Standard English is partly subjective. Ideally, Standard English is the language acceptable and normative among reputable people in reputable circumstances—the prestige dialect recognized throughout the area and populations to whom the standard applies.
One can argue, for example, that there are indeed grammatical constructions and senses of words that are universally accepted wherever and by whomever English is spoken. One can then say that they are Standard English, in that everybody who is anybody uses, accepts, and approves them. Certainly few who meet that standard will accept deviations from it by others who claim to be their social equals. And when Standard speakers converse, most will deliberately use locutions proscribed by Standard English only if they are absolutely certain that their listeners will know they know better; if there is any chance that anyone will think the usage inadvertent, few will take the risk just to get a laugh.
But obviously Standard American, Standard British, Standard Australian, and Standard Canadian English differ from each other in many particulars. And in some particulars, Boston Standard differs from that of New Orleans. This is clear to anyone who travels, goes to the movies, or listens to radio or television. It is also clear that there are differences within each of these regional dialects, and that the acceptability of one feature or another also may vary, depending upon who is calling the shots.

A quick look at your first response shows us that we probably should refrain from getting into who failed to show what, Casi. But you are right in that I should have been more specific. In casual everyday English both are equally acceptable, meaning that both function in the same grammatical fashion. More on the clarity issue in a moment.
That a 'not' is understood in [2] "me, either" is completely plausible, Casi, in fact, it is indisputable. We all know what the meaning is in commonly understood English. "me either" means the same thing as "me neither". It is a negative agreement response to a negative statement.
Had this been an issue pertinent and germane to the discussion, and indeed it would be something highly salient to students don't you think, it would have been raised at the outset, because it would make all other discussion moot. It was not raised. Why do you think that would be, Casi?
You may be able to parse a 'me either' as a 'me too' in languages where positive agreement to a negative statement is the norm, but that isn't the case for English. Since a 'me too', as a measure of agreement, to a negative statement is foreign to ENLs' grammars, it isn't likely, IMO, that that's what's happening.
And again, the meaning, the real meaning illustrates that it couldn't be. With all due respect, Casi, I'm not the one who has attempted to conflate 'me either' and 'me too'.
I'm not trying to marginalize anything riverkid. I'm not talking about grammar - with or without a capital P. I'm talking about what people say. Native speakers, in any context, in any register, just don't say 'Me either' in the context dihen asked about (in British English).
Just what do you mean by 'Standard'? I've read, understood, and agree with your quote.
One can then say that they are Standard English, in that everybody who is anybody uses, accepts, and approves them.
One can most definitely not say that 'everybody who is anybody uses, accepts, and approves "Me either"' in dihen's context. It is not 'standard' British English, in any meaningful interpretation of the word 'standard'. I wish I knew whether it was standard American English, but people who've said it is seem to be using a version of 'standard' that means nothing to me.
Geez!! Are they really saying 'either do I' somewhere out there? :O! It's great to have a site like this where we get to learn the correct way of speaking the language! Those are some of the mistakes that slip in slowly and with time start to sound normal!! Help us guys!!!! !!!!
Let's keep the continuity, riverkid, and end one topic before starting a new one. You've questions to answer.
But the crux of the matter is that we are talking about Standard usage; i.e., dinhen's question, 'Should I say...?"
should, auxiliary verb. Used to express obligation or duty: You should send her a note. 2. Used to express probability or expectation: They should arrive at noon.
Standard English is not the high water mark by which all aspects of English have to be or should be measured.
I agree wholeheartedly with you there. However, meandering up this and that tributary isn't helping the poster with his question. Some streams lead to swamps, others to waterfalls.
Surely, it's better to inform students of how and when these collocations are used
Do you feel your response to dihen did that?
...simply dismiss them as, what appears to be, again what is to my mind, nonstandard = incorrect.
That's an excellent point. If only that was dihen's question - but it wasn't. It's a good idea to answer the question first, then add the extras. Empower students. Don't have them believing both are equally acceptable. Sure, there's evidence supporting the usage, but what is that evidence? Who uses it, where, when, and why? Who doesn't use it, and why? Again, do you feel your response to dihen addressed or even tackled the 'how and when these collocations are used'?
I'm not familiar with 'the ongoing issue of "right and wrong".' I've been away from the Forum for a few months. Has that been the case around here? Agh. Hmm. Now there's a great thesis topic in the making. I've a waterfall of thoughts on that one, riverkid. As things stand, though, we've yet to settle the first issue: given that 'me either' is considered non-standard usage in response to "I don't like it?", how can we express that in a way that will satisfy everyone, the Ps, the Ds, and those in between?
Ps = prescriptivists
Ds = descriptivists

If I have mischaracterized your meaning, then please accept my apologies. I think we can continue this discussion on the larger issue; What does it matter if it's standard English or not?

Series Report Card: CBS Orders 'The Good Fight' Season Five
By: LATF Staff | May 14, 2020, 1:24 p.m.
Filed in: Television > Series Reviews
Photo Credits: CBS All Access
CBS All Access announced the season five order of its hit original series THE GOOD FIGHT. The fourth season of THE GOOD FIGHT is currently underway, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays exclusively on CBS All Access. Due to the ongoing halt in production since early March, season four of THE GOOD FIGHT will conclude with episode seven on Thursday, May 28.
"THE GOOD FIGHT remains one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed original series on CBS All Access, and we've seen a tremendous response from fans this season," said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, CBS All Access. "While we all had hoped to provide audiences with a 10-episode fourth season, we, among many others, have had to adapt due to the pandemic. Although it's a shortened season, the incredible cast and crew, helmed by the incomparable Robert and Michelle King, have produced a phenomenal seven episodes. We can't wait for viewers to see the remainder of the season and are excited to bring subscribers even more of the timely, gripping storylines the Kings bring to life next in season five."
"It's been weird to not be able to finish the fourth season," said Robert and Michelle King. "It left the story in even more absurd a place than usual. So we're thrilled that CBS All Access wants to bring THE GOOD FIGHT back for an additional season, and we know what story we're planning to tell. It's like getting the answers to the SAT ahead of time."
Season four of THE GOOD FIGHT finds Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart navigating a very different landscape. After they lost their biggest client, Chumhum, and their founding partner's name was tarnished, Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart was forced to accept an offer by a huge multi-national law firm, STR Laurie, to become a small subsidiary. Suddenly, all of their decisions can be second-guessed by the giant firm that is literally on top of them. While STR Laurie initially seem like benevolent overlords, we find Diane Lockhart and her colleagues chafing at their loss of independence while simultaneously investigating the emergence of a mysterious "Memo 618."

Gov. Tim Walz announced new coronavirus-related restrictions Wednesday that will include a pause on high school and youth sports for four weeks.
The pause and all other announced restrictions will be in effect from 11:59pm this Friday through 11:59pm on Dec. 18. Among the order's sports-related restrictions, all Minnesota State High School League and youth sports program practices, group workout activities, games, and tournaments are prohibited.
The winter sports season had recently opened for dance programs across the state, with all other sports scheduled to begin their preseasons over the next two to three weeks. The Minnesota State High School League has provided an update that it will be offering guidance for winter sports programs over the next several days, including on scheduling adjustments.
The timing of the pause means that the fall high school sports season will end this Friday, with Minnesota high school football in the midst of its postseason and volleyball just over a week away from entering its playoff window. Teams and sections across the state have been working to move games up ahead of the deadline for competition to take place.
Bemidji football's Section 8AAAAA semifinal game with Sartell-St. Stephen that was originally scheduled for Saturday has now been moved to Friday night at 7pm from Chet Anderson Stadium. The game can be heard on KBUN-FM 104.5 and kbunsportsradio.com beginning at 6pm.
Moorhead and Alexandria will play in the other Section 8AAAAA semifinal game Friday night. A vote was held among the remaining playoff teams about the possibility of Bemidji and Moorhead playing for a Section championship with Alexandria and Sartell playing in a third place game, but the proposal was turned down in favor of the originally scheduled playoff games.
Schedule changes have also come to 9-Man's Section 6, with a COVID-related withdrawal coming from Fertile-Beltrami. According to the Detroit Lakes Tribune's Robert Williams, Blackduck has now been moved over to host Park Christian at 5pm Friday night. Top seed Win-E-Mac will play an out-of-section game at home against South Ridge at 6pm.

Project SEED Scholars are integrated into active research groups under the direction of chemistry and biochemistry faculty members at Cal State LA. The student selects his/her research adviser from among the faculty members in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the nature and scope of the research project is arranged to suit the student's level and interests through consultation between the adviser and the student. The SEED Scholar's participation in research will be full-time during the eight-week summer. The major benefit to the SEED Scholar is the career enhancement experienced by participation in an active research group while the student is still in high school, an opportunity uncommon at most universities. The Project SEED Scholars will be in a position to interact with the best science faculty and students at the University.


A new trial of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will be carried out by Power and Water Corporation to inspect Northern Territory power networks.
NT Minister for Essential Services, Willem Westra van Holthe inspected a UAV in action near transmission lines in Darwin.
Power and Water has more than 10,265km of powerlines across the Northern Territory that need to be inspected periodically to identify maintenance needs.
Many transmission lines are located in remote and hard-to-access areas.
Transmission lines are currently inspected using a combination of methods including ground based inspection, aerial inspection (from helicopter), climbing and elevated work platforms.
Each inspection method has limitations related to access, viewing angles of the asset, time, cost and system security.
Power and Water is investigating the use of UAVs to supplement these existing inspection methods and to provide more flexibility with the resources available.


Dindigul, a road transport hub derives its name from the word Tintu Kal, meaningpillow rock, reffering to the bare hill which dominates the city. The fortress built on the hill during the Vijayanagar era of the 15th century has witnessed many a wars between the Hindu and the Muslim rulers and the Britishers. The contemporary city contains large-scale cotton spinning and weaving mills, handicraft industries as silk weaving and jewellery and cigar manufacturing units.
Dindigul is the district headquarters of the Dindigul District situated in between the Palani and Sirumalai hills.
Sri Kottai Mariamman Koil is more than 200 years old. The Mariamman idol was installed by the army men of Tipu Sultan at the fort of the mountain. Hence it is called "Kottai (Fort) Mariamman temple". The temple is square shaped and within the temple there is a temple for Vetri Vinayaka at the south and a temple for Lord Muruga at the north. There is a Mandapam (Hall) in the center of the ground in which there is a sculpture of a Lion facing the Sannidhi. The Sanctum Sanctorum is small and square shaped. The deity consecrated ("Moolavar") is seen here, embedded deeply under the floor. There are several sculptures on the sniper structure over the Sanctum Sanctorum, depicting various incarnations of the Goddess Mariamman. On all the four sides, various scenes showing the destroying of the monster by the Goddess are seen. On the eastern side over the Amman Sannidhi is a temple for Vinayaka and on the western side a temple for Madurai Veeran. On the front side of the Sannidhi the Navagraha idols are installed. On the backside of the temple, there is an idol of Kaalhi and another one for Goddess Durga. The golden shield adorns the deity every day between 5.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. A Board of Trustees runs the temple.
Even though the Kaalakatheeswarar (also spelt as Kaalakatheeshwar) temple is very old, it came into limelight during the period of Thirumalai Naicker, who renovated several temples in and around Madurai. God Kaalakatheeswarar and Goddess Gnanambika are the presiding deities here. It is a practice to bring the idols of Abhirama Devi and Padmagirinagar from the above mountain to this temple and celebrate the Festival of Brahmasaram in the month of Chithirai (April).

Q: Map won't render headless i have a working nodejs/puppeteer solution for rendering a map to screenshot. the code works great with an interactive/visible browser, but does not render the page when run headless.  if i drop back to an ancient mapbox (build 25) then it does render headless but mapbox is missing other functionality in that old build that i need.
is there anything i can do to make this work.  code to repro below.
    (async() => {
console.log("test starting");
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false,userDataDir: "data"});
const page = (await browser.pages())[0];
await page.goto('file://map.html');
await page.waitForFunction('document.querySelector("#sync").textContent.includes("sync")');
await page.setViewport({ width: 800, height: 480 });
await page.screenshot({path: 'map.png'});
await browser.close();
})();
