		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friend,]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>Keywords or phrases are great to help generate traffic to your website. However, this is way overused by many people because they use keywords to often to increase their ranking. So, due to this, there is such a thing as overusing keywords. Now search engines have created algorithms to see which websites hold the most relevance where keywords are concerned. Currently, it appears that the average article is at least 12% keyword rich and this is way too many keywords.</p>
<p>The primary reason for this whole shift in utilization of keyword is that tracking and recording process of for keyword abuse by search engine sites. For instance, you have an article that contains 500 words and the focus is only on one word such as Porn, there are more chances of your site getting banned from the search engine.</p>
<p>This shift has really increased writing jobs. If you are a writer, even though the economy is very slow, it is highly likely you can get jobs writing SEO articles.</p>
<p>The best method to write good SEO articles is to do justice to your articles. Make doubly sure that your SEO article contain relevant information as well as a substantial ratio of keyword included into the article. The keyword should be scattered. The best way to do this is to include at least two keywords or phrases when you begin the paragraph and also when you end the paragraph. In case, you have an article that has five hundred words, you need to focus on including at least one keyword or phrase for each paragraph in the body of the text.</p>
<p>When writing you should not focus a much on the keywords but the information the article gives. If you are writing an article about a produce you are selling for instance, tell your readers what the product does and why they need to have it. The key thing is to give the reader informative information and place keywords strategically. This is the way to get the most use from the SEO technique</p>
<p>When writing your article, do make the keywords seem forced. Rather, focus on quality content for the article. If you do not have information the reader wants, they will simply not read it. Another very important thing to remember is make certain you have excellent grammar throughout your article. If you do not, this makes you look like you arent smart enough to know what you are talking about and your readers will find it as a big turn off.</p>
<p>In case, you are not able to compose your own article due to lack of time or other unavoidable circumstances, try using freelance websites in order to hire article writers. They will make sure that your articles are written nicely and they may charge anything. $1 to $15 for a 500 word article. All you require to do is to make a research and analyze their previous samples.</p>
<p>To your success</p>
<p>Jason</p>
<p>P.S. In order to gain experience, you may want to write a few articles yourself before you hire someone else to do it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your health is a very serious thing and cannot be slacked off with. The majority of the time, you may be fit as a fiddle and healthy, however there are lots of people out there who have health issues and do not have any health insurance whatsoever even when they really need it. Whether your health is great or in poor condition, everybody needs health insurance. There will always be somewhat of a chance you could get sick or even injured since no one is invincible.</p>
<p>It is crucial you apply for a health insurance policy that will cover your specific needs. You can find a health insurance policy for almost any medical condition in today&#8217;s world. However, the biggest complaint from people is that heal insurance is not affordable leading many to choose to go without any type of health insurance or health insurance policy.</p>
<p>It is a simple assumption that you can save money by not purchasing health insurance. That is assuming that you are a health person that has no existing health concerns. However, by not purchasing a health insurance policy, you do not save yourself money but rather you are risking your own health.</p>
<p>Thankfully, a person can get a health insurance policy for as cheap as $50 per month. In a year, your health insurance will cost you $600, and that sum can be very easily paid up front. You might not have an ongoing condition, but you can still be afflicted by colds, accidents, sinus infections, and even the flu. You can find a health insurance policy that will cover all of those things and more for an affordable price.</p>
<p>If you happen to have an ongoing condition, you should make sure that the health insurance you are buying with cover that pre-existing condition. Moreover, the last thing you are going to want to do is buy a health insurance policy that does not take care the requirements for maintaining your health. You must also know if you are buying health insurance for yourself, or for you and a family, you need to make sure you can afford it.</p>
<p>Another thing to do when choosing the right policy is to shop around. You can easily find something online while obtaining different quotes. Not all companies charge the same amount of money per month for their policy. You&#8217;re going to run into some outrageous rates, as well as those that seem more realistic.</p>
<p>You need to think about certain matters like if you will be regularly seeing you doctor, or if you need to see specialist or specialists. Not every health insurance policy is going to cover the entirety of your health expenses so be prepared to pay a little bit of cash from your pocket. In the end however, buying health insurance will always save you money.</p>
<p>The more shopping and research you do for health insurance the better the chance is of you finding a health insurance policy that will suit your needs. In addition, it is a good idea to ask about extra or hidden fees upfront since many times sales reps will not inform of extra costs.</p>
<p>Remember to think logically when deciding about what type of insurance you will need. Be honest with yourself about your health conditions and don&#8217;t think solely about saving money. Your health should always come first.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<i>Spartan Gold</i> is the first in a new series by <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Clive Cussler in cooperation with action novel writer Grant Blackwood.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Spartan Gold</i> is the first in a new series by <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Clive Cussler in cooperation with action novel writer Grant Blackwood.</p>
<p>The new series is referred to as &#8220;Fargo Adventures,&#8221; based on its action heroes, a married couple named Sam and Remi Fargo.</p>
<p>Having fulfilled the American dream early in life to become independently wealthy, the Fargos now devote themselves to archeological treasure hunting; and they let nothing stand in their way of finding what they search for.</p>
<p>While the Fargo Adventures feature a new cast of characters and a slightly different action venue &#8211; treasure hunting &#8211; the telltale hallmarks of a true Cussler-novel that we have all come to love and expect still remain: Exotic cars, foods and drinks, as well as lots of excitement on, in and around water.</p>
<p><i>Spartan Gold</i> follows Sam and Remi on the trail of Napoleon Bonaparte and twelve bottles from his legendary lost wine cellar, each with a clue written in code on the back of the label.</p>
<p>Naturally, their quest to unravel this mystery does not go unimpeded. Relentlessly on their heels are the hired ruffians of Bondaruk, a former Soviet freedom fighter from an ethnic minority group, who has since turned into a ruthless mafia billionaire.</p>
<p>At the end of the trail await two ancient Greek statues of pure gold, which were looted from Greece by Persian conqueror Xerxes the Great. Bondaruk has discovered through genealogy research that he is a direct descendant of Xerxes, and believes the treasure is his rightful inheritance, never mind that is was stolen from Greece.</p>
<p>The wine-bottle trail leads Sam and Remi, as well as their adversaries, from a sunken German submarine in the Great Pocomoke Swamp, Maryland, to the Bahamas, through much or Europe, from Germany, France and Italy to Croatia and Ukraine: not necessarily in that order.</p>
<p>In the end, <i>Spartan Gold</i> is a solidly written treasure hunting action novel in the spirit of <i>The Da Vinci Code</i>, and also a distinctly Cusslerian novel undoubtedly destined for a top-spot on the <i>New York Times</i> best-seller list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many fans of baseball were surprised by Mark McGwire&#8217;s recent confession. The slugger had used steroids for the greater part of his baseball career, as this gave him an unfair edge and contributed to the mammoth seasons that we as fans witnessed.</p>
<p>Most baseball players are thought to have used steroids in order to pump up their offensive stats, thereby securing more valuable contracts in the process. In McGwire&#8217;s case, things were different. He simply wanted to recover from any injuries in less time than he&#8217;d otherwise be able to.</p>
<p>This would make sense in McGwire&#8217;s case, as injuries seriously slowed down the pace of what would have been an otherwise torrid career. He was one of the best power hitters in the game, but his potential was always cut short due to injury.</p>
<p>What followed in the years to come was exactly what one would expect. He was healthier through the majority of the remainder of his career, and his offensive production was exceptional.</p>
<p>Everything came together in 1998, a year in which McGwire set baseball history. Having broken a seemingly unbreakable record held by Roger Maris, the St. Louis Cardinal hit an astounding 70 home runs during the course of the year.</p>
<p>Just a few short years later, a few steroid allegations by Jose Canseco and some admissions by others shocked and devastated baseball fans. Many began to speculate that McGwire was under the influence of these illegal substances too.</p>
<p>Baseball fans almost feel foolish to have believed that everything was done legitimately. After seeing decades in which players struggled to top 50 home runs, 60 and 70 were suddenly being done nearly every year. This couldn&#8217;t have been more obvious.</p>
<p>McGwire violated the trust of the baseball world and cheated his way to a record. Despite this all, he deserves a bit of respect for having the courage to come out with a secret that hundreds of players from that era still likely hold.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As usual, Clive Cussler stays right on top of current world events in his latest Dirk Pitt novel, <i>Arctic Drift</i>. This time, not surprisingly, the book set in the year 2011 revolves around the financial crisis and global warming.</p>
<p>The crook in <i>Arctic Drift</i> is a Canadian energy empire billionaire by the name of Mitchell Goyette who is publicly admired for his green technology businesses, while concealing his heavy involvement in natural gas and oil.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the United States faces an unprecedented financial crisis, made worse by the international threat of a trade boycott if the country does not find a way to cut greenhouse gas emissions from coal burning power plants. Canada, with its vast resources of natural gas, may hold the key to saving its southern neighbor.</p>
<p>The sitting American president, who in 2011 is neither Democratic nor Republican but an independent, hopes to use Canadian natural gas to replace coal for producing electricity and even for powering cars converted to run on natural gas.</p>
<p>However, Goyette is in a perfect position to take advantage of the United State&#8217;s desperate gamble, and he does so without conscience. To the Canadian public, Goyette is an environmental hero who invests millions in wind power and carbon sequestration. Unbeknownst to the masses, he&#8217;s unscrupulously involved in every dirty industry that will make him more money, in particular the oil sands of Athabasca, Alberta, and the Melville natural gas fields of the Canadian Arctic, over which he has full control.</p>
<p>The unconscionable Goyette strikes a deal with the American government to sell nearly limitless supplies of Melville natural gas at market value, which would help the U.S. avert the escalating energy crisis, a financial meltdown, and an international trade boycott. But when Goyette is able to secretly work out a better deal with China, he does not hesitate to break his agreement with the U.S. and leave the southern neighbor high and dry.</p>
<p>(In the real world, any business in breach of such a huge and important contract would probably not survive. But it&#8217;s a good set-up for an intriguing story line.)</p>
<p>However, Goyette&#8217;s double-dealing with the U.S. and China may actually be the least of his crimes. He&#8217;s also guilty of assassination, bribing politicians, creating toxic waste that kills people and wildlife, and almost instigating a war between the U.S. and Canada.</p>
<p>What Goyette does not count on, of course, is Dirk Pitt, the hero of 20 Clive Cussler books, including this latest installment. In the end, good prevails over evil.</p>
<p><i>Arctic Drift</i> is an excellent and seamless co-authorship between Clive Cussler and his son, Dirk Cussler. It is hard to tell the penmanship of one apart from the other throughout the book. Whatever sections Dirk Cussler wrote, he did an excellent job of adopting Clive&#8217;s inimitable style. (That&#8217;s an intentional oxymoron.)</p>
<p>All in all, <i>Arctic Drift</i> is an excellent action thriller. It&#8217;s does not have the cover-to-cover non-stop action of some of the older Dirk Pitt novels by Cussler, but it does have quite enough action, plus the story line is brilliant and intriguing and keeps you wanting to read more. And as always in Dirk Pitt&#8217;s world, the villains are as clever as they are evil, and the heroes as pure as Arctic snow.</p>
<p>Britt Hellman resides in Western North Carolina with her husband and three children. She runs her own copywriting company from home. Clive Cussler has been one of her favorite writers since reading his <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yzo5p83">Trojan Odyssey</a> in 2003. She writes reviews like this one on <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yjbkgrm">Arctic Drift</a> for the fun of sharing that excitement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>The Wrecker</i> is the second novel in a new Western series by &#8220;one of the greatest adventure novelists of our time&#8221; (imdb). It promises to become perhaps the most popular Clive Cussler series yet. Because, let&#8217;s face it, stories about the Wild West never lose their appeal to American (as well as International) audiences.</p>
<p>A detective by the name of Isaac Bell represents the main character in <i>The Wrecker</i>. Bell is as athletic and fearless as James Bond and as intellectually brilliant as Sherlock Holmes.</p>
<p>Conveniently, Isaac Bell is also independently wealthy, heir to a prominent Boston banking family. After disappointing his father by not following in his footsteps, Bell has pursued his detective work with a fervor that spells obsessive passion more than a way to make a living.</p>
<p>In <i>The Wrecker</i>, the Southern Pacific Railroad hires the Van Dorn detective agency and Isaac Bell to capture a saboteur that has been targeting their construction sites with devastating effects. Southern Pacific&#8217;s financing for a project to build a new line between the northern and southern portions of the American West coast is threatened. If any more sabotage ensues, it could potentially sink the entire mega-corporation.</p>
<p>Reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes&#8217; arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty, the villain known as <i><b>The Wrecker</b></i> is nearly as brilliant as Isaac Bell himself. Unbeknownst to all, until the end of the book, <i><b>The Wrecker</b></i> hides in plain sight, right within the innermost circles of his adversaries.</p>
<p>The agenda of the Wrecker is to seize control of the Southern Pacific Railroad through various dummy corporations he has put in place, which will help him capture the fallout from Southern Pacific&#8217;s impending bankruptcy. Not only that but it appears he plans to eventually to control the entire United States railroad system, the greatest source of billionaire wealth in America at the turn of the last century.</p>
<p>Notorious as an avid automobile enthusiast, one reason why Clive Cussler may have picked the early 1900&#8217;s as the setting for his new series may well have been to give him an opportunity to write about car chases in classic automobiles from the turn of the last century.</p>
<p>Automobiles featured in <i>The Wrecker</i> include a Packard Grey Wolf, the 1907 Model 35 Thomas Flyer, winner of the New York to Paris race of 1908, Isaac Bell&#8217;s classic Locomobile, and a Bugatti Type 41 Royale.</p>
<p>Clive Cussler is a man of many passions, one of the best known and most obvious being his love of the ocean, as evidenced by his countless action novels revolving in and around water. But the fact that he has chosen to live in Colorado, far from the any great body of water, suggests that he also loves the rugged, arid and mountainous landscapes of the American West.</p>
<p>Through <i>The Wrecker</i>, we get a glimpse of this other side of Cussler, the one that loves the arid mountainous landscapes of the American West. And it&#8217;s an enthusiasm that shines through with unmitigated contagiousness. The new Isaac Bell series may well help give birth to a whole new generation of Western enthusiasts, as well as spark great excitement in many old ones.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you need to make a romantic atmosphere from time to time in your place, or if you like the scented smell some candles have and you can not always afford to purchase them, you&#8217;ve got to know that you can make them yourself, with the aid of some recommendation.</p>
<p>Candles are made of old burned candles or from newer ones, acquired in one pound packs; they are far less expensive that way. New candles aren&#8217;t made of wax as it is dear and it leaves candles with a warm dark yellow shade. Still, it burns better without any smoke. The candles will be melted in a recipient full of water. They can never be placed without delay aflame, as it is deadly.</p>
<p>At the same time we have to prepare the shapes the candles will take. We can make them ourselves or we can use boxes or paper glasses (like the ones from fast-foods that go with refreshments). We turn the shape upside down; we make a small piercing that will be used to keep the top of the candle separated from the rest of it.</p>
<p>The straw that will keep the candle burning can be taken from an old candle of can be made out of white cotton straw. We turn the shape upside down, and with a stick, pen or pencil we introduce the straw so that it is placed right through the middle. More precisely, we wrap the straw around a stick that will be fixed by the edged of the shape. In order to color the wax we will use oil colors or coloring dust that is dissolved in the melting wax.</p>
<p>If we&#8217;d like a candle with horizontal lines, we shall pour each line at a time in different colors, waiting every time for them to cool down so that the colors won&#8217;t mix. After they are definitely cold we are going to remove them from their shapes. If we can not do this, we are going to put them in the refrigerator and wait an hour or so, and remove them after that.</p>
