Blogging for SEOContest2008
What is blogging? This word is nowadays is getting famous and draws the attention of many people. When I first heard of this word, I actually don’t have any idea at all. The word sounds unfamiliar and it irritates my ears. I felt ashame of myself when a friend of mine once asked me that word. He asked me if I do blogging since I have my own website. I did not realize that what I am actually doing in my site is already about blogging. Blogging is not just writing what you think or thing what you would like to say, but it is all about expressing your emotion with feelings and most especially, BLOGGING is PASSION as what my friend used to tell me.
Today, since I already knew what blogging is all about, I can do many things about it. I am now actually using it for the newly launched SEOContest2008 in UK. This is actually my first time to join this kind of contest though my friends used to participate and have already won. My JRSEOContest2008 blog is my official blog for the SEOContest2008 brought to us by UK Webmaster World SEO Contest.
I actually name my entry blog as JRSEOContest2008 for the SEOContest2008 because I know that I am still a novice when it comes to SEOContest2008. I still have to learn much things about SEO and how to generate more traffic on my site. I am still, and I agree that I need to learn more for the SEOContest2008.
I know that in the SEOContest2008, there are many participants whom already won many contest similar to this. Though I know that I am competing with many SEO geeks, I stil believe in what my mentor has told me, it is about the “First Timer’s Luck.” Who knows, with this SEOContest2008, I can be on top of the others. That is how optimistic I am when it comes to the SEOContest2008.
Everyday, every hour, I always check on my status. I am always turning on my computer and search the internet using the keyword SEOContest2008 whether my blog is on the first 5 pages of the popular search engines. Well, I happy that after 3 days of registering my JRSEOContest2008 blog for the SEOContest2008, I remain on page 5 so far. I don’t know if this will drop, will remain as it is, or it will go up. This SEOContest2008 is really challenging to me as a blogger. I hope that I will do better that seeing my JRSEOContest2008 blog for the SEOContest2008 and not by simply remaining in page 5.
PRIDE and HONOR on the SEOContest2008
It is nearly 3:00 in the morning and my eye lids slowly close down little by little but I am still trying to fight it just to make my blog a competitive like the other blogs which were also registered in the UK’s recently launched Search Engine Optimization Contest or more popularly known as SEOContest2008.
Well, honestly, this is my first time to join the contest. I have been observing my friends, Gio and Philip joining different contest in the country and also watch them receive their awards winning home as champions. I am also aiming for that and I am still optimistic that I will be learning something in this SEOContest2008.
But, perhaps some may ask what will be the prize when someone wins the competition. For me, the best answer I could give is that, in this SEOContest2008, it is not actually the money which is important. What matter most is the experience and learning you will get upon participating on the aforementioned activity. This will give us (we the contestants), a chance to broaden our ideas and widen our imaginations by trying to figure out on how to optimize our website using the keyword given. At the same time, PRIDE and HONOR is priceless. That would probably be the main goal of every participants like me to have.
I know that there are tough competitors who already have their experiences but I will still stick on my belief, that nothing is impossible as long as you believe that you can do it. Anyway, to us believers and achievers, impossible is not part in our dictionary list.
So, to my fellow participants, I wish you all good luck and see you around. Make your best on the SEOContest2008.

Article
Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.
The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
The relative number of autonomous regions that combine to form modern day Spain is 17 and in the main, they all have their own language variants (if not separate languages) and entire cultural heritages. One of the more interesting and culturally diverse regions is that of Galicia which is situated in the North Western corner of mainland Spain.
Galicia is surrounded on two sides by the Atlantic Ocean and it is pretty understandable to think that for a region that has such an involvement with the sea, its cuisine would also be heavily influenced by the sea. Nothing in fact could be further than the truth and there are a whole host of interesting and delicious recipes based upon the agriculture and viniculture of the region.
The time for talk is over and let’s gets on with the serious business of cooking!
For this delicious Gazpacho recipe we are looking to take enough ingredients to serve four people and us such we would need the following:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small leaks, white parts and then chopped.
600 ml of water
1 potato peeled and diced
450 grams of fresh asparagus with the tougher parts of the stalks trimmed and chopped.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 media makes
1 teaspoon vinegar
A pinch of sea salt flake’s
A few drops of truffle oil or extra virgin olive oil
Take the olive oil in a heat the oil in a saucepan and then add the leaks and stew slowly until the leaks are nice and soft.
Next add the water a little salt and pepper and potato if you are going to be using one. The reason for including a potato in anything like this is that it will slightly thicken the soup making the whole dish a lot more substantial.
However, if you are going to include potato in this recipe then you have to remember that the soup will need to cook for about 10 minutes longer than normal until the potato has softened. The next thing is to add the asparagus and boil for five minutes. Be careful at this stage because if you boil the asparagus for too long you lose the colour from the asparagus and the whole soup will lose a bit of the visual impact.
Take the soup and then purée the soup in whatever blender or food processor that you have and when the soup has been puréed, push the soup through a sieve. The reason for this is that you want to try and make the soup as much of a consommé as possible.
Let the finished soup cool and then keep the soup cool until you are ready to serve. When you’re almost ready to serve the soup poured into some nice wide rimmed bowls.
Now for the second stage of the recipe, the warm poached eggs.
Take a saucepan and add some water. Add the vinegar and bring the water to a simmer rather than a boil. Take the eggs and gently crack them and gently lower them into the water. Simmer a couple of the eggs at a time for about three minutes or until the white of the egg is set.
Remove the eggs and leave them to drain. If at this particular point in time you want to be totally obsessed with the display and appearance of the soup you could always try and trim the whites of the egg either with a knife or scissors. Take the poached egg and place one in the centre of each bowl of soup and sprinkle on top of the egg some flakes of your sea salt and add a couple of drops off the truffle oil. Be careful with the truffle oil in that the actual case can be extremely overpowering and is not necessary to everybody’s taste.
Then serve sit back and wait for the complements!

Landlords – are you breaking the Law without knowing it?
It is also a legal requirement to provide a copy of the CP12 Certificate to your tenants after every inspection. It should detail each gas appliance, the date of inspection, any defects found and the action taken.
Transco receives over 1 million reports of gas escapes each year. The law is cracking down on private landlords who fail to produce a current gas safety certificate for their properties with heavy penalties in many cases. This is because the consequences of a faulty gas appliance can be carbon monoxide poisoning, and even explosion.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure the gas safety check is completed annually – if access to the property is not possible, keep a record to show that you’ve tried everything in your power to carry out the inspection.
Tenants should be shown how to turn the gas supply off in the event of a leak, but it needs to be made clear to them that repairs can only be carried out by a CORGI registered engineer. The Council for the Registration of Gas Installers maintains a mandatory register of gas installers in the UK who are qualified to carry out the repair safely. A CORGI installer may imply gas appliances that are being fitted for the first time but CORGI registration applies equally to tradesmen who carry out gas appliance repairs, gas servicing and gas appliance replacement.
Melissa Fletcher of home emergency repair and insurance suppliers Homeserve said "Many landlords act in good faith but simply don’t realise the legal requirements regarding gas safety for their tenants. This puts them under unnecessary risk of legal action in the event of an accident.”
To safeguard yourself and your tenants, bear in mind the following checklists:
Legal Checklist:
• Have a safety check carried out on all gas appliances and flues annually or within 12 months before the start of a new tenancy.
• Have gas installations and appliances serviced regularly and keep a record of the service. This ensures the properties fittings and flues are maintained in a safe condition.
• Check gas installations and appliances immediately before the start of any new tenancy, even if the gas safety certificate is still current.
• Have all installation, maintenance and safety checks carried out by a CORGI registered engineer only.
• Keep a record of each safety check for 2 years – the CORGI installer will issue this.
• Give a copy of the CORGI installer’s safety check report to each tenant within 28 days of the safety check, or to new tenants before occupation.

Some times you may have to negotiate a deal to get them to drop ship for you. You must have an efficient fulfillment system. One of the reasons that brick-and-mortar stores are so slow on the uptake when it comes to online business, is that supplying retail stores is done with pallet-sized orders usually. But internet sales requires an entirely different kind of fulfillment system. Selling on the internet is essentially mail order, with shipments going out in small parcels to end users. Selling on eBay is extremely competitive many people are now importing goods from the far east and are able to sell their items for very cheap This is where your niche market comes in if you've done your research hopefully you can sell without too much competition. You might be asking "What on earth is dropshipping?" Dropshipping is a system of trading offered by certain suppliers.
Dropship:
Usually wholesalers are very big companies and have thousands and thousands of products so they will most likely be able to dropship their products for you. Artists and craft workers are keen on making, not so keen on marketing, and are my favorite source of quality products. I make a point of visiting local craft fairs at least once a month where I find exhibitors selling stunning creations at a tiny fraction of eBay prices for similar items, if any exist. Many items are unique or limited edition and never get seen beyond a few miles of their makers' homes. My eldest daughter obtains designer jewelry this way, my youngest opts for hand-made dolls and teddies, and I take watercolor paintings on hand-made paper from a young Chinese artist whose work I sell exclusively on eBay. She dropship for me direct to my customers. Visit these fairs once and you'll return time and again. You don't have to buy items, most craft workers and artists will work on commission, rather like a dropshipper who takes payment and delivers the product when you make a sale. Most will dropship to your customers. Find craft work fairs advertised in local weekend papers, usually under 'Items for sale', 'Fairs and auctions', 'Days out', or similar. Also see dvd-r wholesale distributors. Even if you are scammed on eBay while dropshipping it is usually for little cash.

Hospitals and Doctors
Hospitals and doctors’ offices are beginning to hire more pharmacists for their in-house pharmacies. These pharmacies, which feature both over-the-counter and prescription drugs, are designed to provide immediate point-of-prescription convenience for patients, especially those who have mobility problems. Pharmacists in these types of offices have the luxury of working directly with billing professionals and health workers alike to remedy health issues quickly. However, in other ways the in-house pharmacy may prove restrictive, as administrators and senior partners are often within walking distance.
There is, however, still room for the traditional pharmacist in the current bureaucratic system. Older style pharmacies are utilising information technology in order to improve the services they provide; patients with repeat prescriptions are often able to have these monitored by pharmacies who will collect them for the patient from the general practitioner and ensure their availability. In many high street outlets, major chains and independent pharmacists are investing heavily in order to compete. Facilities are often brand new, which means the best resources and working conditions for pharmacists. Also, members of the public can build a strong relationship with their pharmacist as they get regular prescriptions. The problem with working at these facilities is that there is sometimes little immediate resolution of administrative or prescription problems, which need to be resolved by phone or post.

How to tie down your Race Car with a Mac’s Ultra Pack.
Is the ‘D’ ring rated for a total of 3 times the weight of the Race Car? Once these items have been addressed, It is time to load the Race Car and tie it down.
Once you have loaded the Race Car onto the trailer, the next step is to connect the straps. Start by connecting the twisted snap hook on the fixed end (the short end)to each of the ‘D’ rings. Choose a set of locations to tie down to.
Typically, on a Race Car those locations would be through the wheel, over an axle or substantial suspension member, or possibly around a frame horn.
Some general guidelines to keep in mind are: choose a location with enough strength to hold the Race Car in the event of an accident, one that is free of cutting hazards, and with enough space around it to lace the axle strap.
DO NOT run a strap where it might migrate and crush a brake line. Also consider the effect of the movement of the Race Car while it is traveling down the road, since what may seem like a clear space now, could become tie down strap guillotine later, if the trailer hits a hard bump.
After choosing a location, you should now run your axle strap around it. Check the length if the standard 24 isn’t enough, don’t worry Mac’s can make the strap in any length needed in a short timeframe.
After determining that the length is correct, align the two delta rings at the end of the axle strap together and click in the running end (long end) of the ratchet strap. Before ratcheting the strap tight, pull the tail end of the strap through until the strap looks straight.
Now you can ratchet the strap, making sure to have two full wraps around the mandrel to ensure a positive mechanical lock. Repeat this process at all four corners of the Race Car.
Should you cross the straps? Possibly. Understand that the strap will have its maximum strength in the line it is pulling. It is always a good idea to have the straps at the rear of the Race Car pulling mostly straight back.
Most vehicles will out corner a trailer, so the Race Car is more likely to come loose when an accident occurs than wander around when properly tied down. Be sure to take a look at the setup in your trailer and make sure that it is sensible this is the best test for tie downs.
Business Success Tip - Become Your Own Cheerleader!
I count all of the above as successes!
I was having a conversation with a client last month who was beating herself up for “not doing” enough. She has high professional standards and an endless to-do list. Listening to all of her daily accomplishments, I started to chuckle at how hard she was on herself. I imagined a woman looking like an old school marm; that picture of a woman with her hair pulled in a tight bun, pointing a finger and scowling.
I pulled out my Webster’s Dictionary and looked up the definition for accomplishment. It said “the act or state of completing something successfully“.
Well, this really opened up the conversation! She never really defined accomplishments like that before! Now, she began to look at everything she successfully completed (personally and in her business) during the course of the day, as an accomplishment.
She began to include things like answering part of her emails, getting her daughter off to school, doing the first draft of an article - things she never would have counted before because they weren’t totally completed! Her whole attitude shifted. Being able to see accomplishments in a different way allowed her to feel more successful. Get it?
Here’s an example:
Let’s say you’re working on a project like creating a product. You’ve laid out an action plan with specific steps and timelines for product development and marketing. Each step you complete counts as an accomplishment AND a success. Guess why some people lose motivation? One reason is they don’t give themselves the recognition and pats on the back for the small steps along the way. PS - that why we create short-term goals along with long-term ones! We need those WHOO-HOOS to spur us on!
Here’s your call to action:
Develop a habit of acknowledging your daily accomplishments and write them down. I encourage folks to start a success journal. If you already have one, I want you to get really specific and acknowledge both your tangible and intangible successes - like having the willingness to do this exercise (and doing it!).
See how many things you can recognize during the course of the day. Include the things you take for granted and do without thinking. Make it a game! In time, this will become a powerful resource and living document you can refer to when you need a nudge or a boost (especially from YOU!)
The Nature of Schizophrenizia
In the picture as presented by the patient we have to deal with pathologic phenomena of several different categories. The abnormalities may comprise the effects of bad hygiene, the effects of habituation, the effects arising primarily out of the fundamental cause or causes of the disorder and the defects arising from secondary operations of the primary causal factors. The need remains for an adequate definition of the psychosis. This definition should, of course, delimit it from all other disorders; it should be broad enough to include all of the subvarieties; it should include none but characteristic attributes. The literature on schizophrenia as now available, while profuse in qualitative material, is defective in its content of accurate quantitative information.
But an even more significant defect is the lack of homogeneity of the data as they exist. These data have been obtained by many investigators using different techniques on a variety of patients living under dissimilar environmental conditions. They are of correspondingly limited utility for the purpose even of formulating a technically satisfactory definition. In large part they are entirely unusable for the type of studies of correlation that is needed for the analysis of the problem as a problem. There is need, then, for the collection of an extensive body of descriptive data on a fairly large number of patients studied under uniform conditions. While it is true, as has been emphasized elsewhere, that the mere enumeration of traits is a research method of strictly limited utility, it is likewise true that attempts to carry out research on a problem that has not been accurately set are likely to result in numerous ineptitudes.
However, even at the descriptive level, certain substantial accomplishments can be hoped for. At this level can be studied the question as to whether schizophrenia represents a disease entity or whether, like fever or headache, it might as well represent a variety of essentially different disorders. The detection of disease entities has not infrequently been accomplished at this level. For example, myxedema was so discovered. In principle, this sort of discovery amounts to the detection of consistent syndromes.
