virtue

sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright!
the bridal of the earth and sky
the dew shall weep thy fall to-night;
for thou must die.

sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave,
bids the rash gazer wipe his eye，
thy root is ever in its grave,
and thou must die.

sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses,
a box where sweets compacted lie,
my music shows ye have your closes,
and all must die,

only a sweet and virtuous soul,
like season’d timber,never gives;
but though the whole world turn to coal
then chiefly lives.

The New SEO Reality

admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 07:34:45 +0000

The old days of SEO are gone. Just not too long ago, standard SEO practices would place a site in the graces of the major search engines. Let’s examine what these standard techniques are before I venture into the copywriting/ontological part of SEO.

-Clean code and use of a CSS. It is still imperative to write in clean code and avoid proprietary tags or server side extensions such as the ones created/required by certain web design programs. Use a cascading style sheet to reduce attribute clutter.

-Keyword density. The accepted parameters call for keyword presence on each page in order to rank well for the particular term. Too little density and the search engines will not rank the site well and too much will be viewed as spam.

-Unidirectional and reciprocal linking. The more sites linking to one and the better the site will score. Note: reciprocal links are being discounted by Google in particular because of rampant, free for all link exchange abuse. Make sure anchor text reflects the keywords being targeted when conducting a link campaign.

Search Engine Optimization And Why You should Use It

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:24:06 +0000

Internet marketing business is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know-how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more web sites are clambering to optimize their rankings in web sites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed e-commerce web sites.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many e-commerce websites. For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines would be the most widely used internet tool to find the web sites that they need to go to or the product or info they need.

Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three is a barometer of a sites success in search engine optimization. You will get a higher ratio of probability in being clicked on when you rank high. The more traffic for your website, the more business you rake in.

But, it is necessary to grab a hold of that spot or make your ranking even better. As I aforementioned, each day is a new day for all e-commerce sites to make them selves rank higher using search engine optimization. It is imperative to make your website better and better everyday.

So just what is search engine optimization and do you need use it? The answer to why you need use it is an easy one. You need search engine optimization to be number one, or maybe at least make your web site income generating.

Albert Camus

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:02:44 +0000

Reading the stranger by Albert Camus was a particularly eye-opening experience in my young life. I wasn’t very familiar with the existentialists at the time. Of course, I had read No Exit by Sartre, but I have had sort of mixed feelings about it. He seemed to be saying some pretty obvious things and taking himself very seriously with them. I’m not saying Sartre was a bad writer, but I wasn’t getting as much out of him as many of my friends were.
With Albert Camus, however, it was different. I absolutely loved �The Stranger� from the very first page and to the very last sentence. I was reading it as part of the French class, and it was a little bit more difficult to understand because it was in French. For the most part, however, I could understand and appreciate what was happening in it. My French was pretty sophisticated by that point, so comprehension wasn’t a very big problem.

Ugg boots for men - heaven help us!

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:12:35 +0000

Ugg boots for men …heaven help us! Sienna Millar, Kate Moss, Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker blazed a trail with them - now Irish guys are falling in love with the discount Ugg.
Uggs boots discount – said to be an abbreviation of the word ugly –have been a ubiquitous fixture on the Irish high street for the past number of years.
We’ve all had to endure the sight of mocha skinned lovelies with blonde streaked hair, panda eyes and rugby shirts sauntering down Grafton Street in their oversized furry footwear.
But now, it seems, men are also getting in on the act, thanks to Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood who have all been spotted wearing the laid back look.
Although they may be associated with women, the boots were originally worn by men - Australian sheep-shearers, early aviators who kept their feet warm and Australian surfers in the 1970s.
Which is all well and good, I can imagine these cozy boots looking chic in sunny Los Angeles or on Bondai beach but Grafton Street? I doubt that most Irish guys will be able to carry off the trend. They do look masculine enough, but for most men this will not form part of a great new winter look.
Honestly, they’re more a fashion disaster in the making than a hot new look. For stars like David Beckham and Leonardo, wearing Ugg discount boots is fine. But the average Irish male will have to have a very casual and confident look if he is to wear them with any style. One editor of a men’s magazine, who declined to be named, told The Independent: "They are a monstrosity. They are like glorified slippers. You may as well shuffle down the street in your pajamas and a pair of incontinence pants."
Mmmm – this is one trend that I’ll certainly not be welcoming but if you want to prove me wrong please send in your pics. We could do with a laugh.

About Sheepskins of Genuine Ugg Boots

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:54:13 +0000

Genuine Ugg Boots are made from the highest quality materials, including sheepskin hide. You can buy knockoff Ugg Boots almost anywhere, but only the real deal provides the comfort and durability promised by discount Ugg boots. If they are not made in Australia then they are not authentic. Ugg Boots are just not made in China, so don’t be fooled. Buying Ugg-style boots that are not genuine will leave you with boots that are far inferior in quality. Translation: uncomfortable and smelly.
Warm in the winter and cool in the summer, Ugg genuine Boots are made from Australian double-faced sheepsking, usually Australian Merino Sheepskin. The highest quality around! Saving a couple of bucks will get you some synthetic fiber that’s not the same.
Some folks wonder if any animals are harmed during the making of Ugg discount Boots. The short answer is, the sheep is slaughtered. BUT, that sheep was going to be slaughtered for meat to feed people-it is never actually slaughtered to obtain the sheepskin. Sheep farmers obtain a secondary profit for selling the hides in addition to the meat. So, understand that the making of Ugg Boots doesn’t directly harm the sheep.
Sheepskins have to be preserved properly before they can be processed into boots. Tanneries use large vessels called paddles, that hold anywhere from 3,000 to 15,000 liters of salt water and slowly swish the skins around inside. This is a gentle process that takes about 10 days to get the hides properly tanned and ready to be cut for Ugg boots discount.
