Lemmon Bundt Cake!!!!!!!
Much as i love this cake, it was not quite the same as the one at Mock Turtle. This cake was a little more dense. Alas i think its not just the cake i miss, the atmosphere of the cosy tea room and cool sea breeze is missed too. Nevermind, its a good reason to go back and visit.
You can find the recipe here or below:
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Glaze:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
3/4 cup sugar
Directions:
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts.
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the flour. Stir in lemon zest. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centre comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack. Cool 10 minutes longer. Place rack on waxed paper. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over the warm cake. Cool completely before serving.
Delicious!

How To Earn Money From ehow!
Instructions.1.1
Sign up for eHow's WCP--shorthand for Writer's Compensation Program. It's fast and easy. All you need is an active PayPal account and an eHow profile. Once those two prerequisites are met, click on the My Profile tab and look for a sub-heading labeled My Earnings. Once you've gone this far, the rest of the sign-up process is a cakewalk.
2.2
Educate yourself on the WCP's finer points. OK, sure, no one likes reading the small print, but eHow has put together an excellent list of common questions and answers to help get you on your way to padding your pockets. Lest you think this info is worth skipping, the FAQ tells you how and when to get paid. See Resources below for a link that gives you the lowdown.
3.3
You've enrolled in the program and read the FAQ. What's next? That is up to you and how much you want to write. Once the WCP sign-up is complete, all you need to do is publish articles. Seriously. That's it. Just write what you know (as Hemingway said) and click the publish button.
4.4
Socialize your article, send it to friends, blog about it, link to it from other pages and generally spread it around to people you know. The more popular your article (i.e. the more people who read it) the higher your eventual WCP payouts. It stands to reason that you should try to build the best audience possible for your little work of art.
5.5
Build out your profile. Add a short bio, upload a picture (or one of eHow's stock avatars), fill out your interests and start making friends in the eHow community. You might think it's unrelated, but if so, you're wrong. The numbers say that a significant portion of eHow readers click on profile links when they read an article. A more engaging user profile makes for more interested readers, and a greater likelihood that they'll return to see your stuff again. Cha-ching!

NLP Techniques for Anchoring
Find a Trigger
•Everyone has triggers from their past that bring back memories they have experienced. It can be a song, a smell or the way someone touches you that takes you back to the exact state of mind you were in when you first experienced it. Find a trigger that you can use to help bring you into the state of mind you desire. Common choices are squeezing the middle finger and thumb of one hand together or lightly pinching the flesh between your thumb and index finger.
Create a State
•In order for the anchoring process to work for you, you must create a favorable state of mind to work from. Take some time by yourself and visualize a specific instance from your past that brought you joy. It doesn't matter what age you were or where it took place, as long as it was joyous. Put yourself right back into the situation and really feel that happiness again. The more intensity you can create the better it will work.
Timing
•Once you have successfully recalled a joyous occasion and are at the absolute peak of that state of mind, apply your trigger. It is important that you physically feel all the same emotion and intensity you did when it first happened as the trigger is applied.
Break the Trance
•After you have applied your chosen trigger for several seconds, break your trance. Release the thought from your mind and change your focus. Get up and walk around, shake your arms and legs and put yourself into a neutral state. This will give your mind a rest before you continue.
Repeat the Sequence
•To firmly solidify this anchor in your mind, repeat the process several times. You want the end result to be for you to apply your trigger and instantly return to your joyous state of mind, so the more practice you get the better

How to Follow Up After a Job Interview
.Difficulty: EasyInstructions.Things You'll Need:
•Computer with Internet
•Plain Notecard
•Contact Information of Interviewer
Step
1Take the business card. If your interviewer gives you a business card during the interview, make sure you take it and hold onto it. Use it to glean a mailing address or email address so you can contact the person directly. Plus, you never know if you'll need to get in touch with that contact in the future, and chances are all of the interviewer's contact information is on the card.
Step
2Send a printed note. While some people prefer email (and that works too), others swear by a handwritten note for a more personal touch. In the note, write a few lines thanking him or her for taking the time to meet with you. You may also want to bring up something somewhat personal mentioned in the interview. For example, if you found out that the recipient of your note is an avid kayaker like you, you may add: "Hope to see you paddling on the Adams River this spring" or something on that note.
Step
3Drop an email. Email is less personal, but the concept of following up really helps you stand out-regardless of what medium you use. In the email be brief and note the same thing you would in a written letter. Include a professional signature under your name with your phone number, address and email address. In the subject line, make sure you stand out so your message won't get locked in a spam folder. Something such as "Adam: Following Up on Our Interview" or "Adam: Your Interview with Kristen Fischer" or "Adam: Interview Follow-up."
Step
4Choose the right language. With a follow-up letter, you want to thank the person for their time and reiterate your interest in the position. You could say that you feel you'd bring a lot to the position and list the name of the job. Or you may want to add that after meeting with him or her, you got some ideas to improve sales or productivity in the office-or something else related to the job-and you could offer up an idea. Offer a more personalized salutation such as "Dear" and use a personal closing line such as "Sincerely," "Warmly" or "Best." These are still professional, but offer a more personal touch.
I stay away from the use of colons in greetings and closings and use commas instead. Never command the recipient to contact you back; you're just saying thank you and showing more interest in the job. That's enough. The most important thing is to be polite and brief-and timely.
Step
5Watch the clock. It's never too soon to send out a follow-up note. You can email or mail the note just a few hours after the interview or the next day. I try to send follow-ups within 24 to 48 hours. If you use U.S. Mail, send the letter out that day. If you email, send the letter within the 72-hour span-tops. If you interview later during the week, try to send out the follow-up message before the weekend. Some people say you may grasp the attention of the interviewer more by hitting him/her up on a Monday morning, but it's likely that your note could get shoved over in chaos. I like to make sure my recipients get their notes toward the end of the week regardless, because I find they're more apt to take time out to email you as the week winds down.

How to Fill Out Financial Aid
.Difficulty: EasyInstructions.
Step 1
A recent study revealed that hundreds of thousands of college students who may have been eligible for financial aid didn't get one red cent because they didn't apply. Don't assume you're not eligible for financial aid. Complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms, regardless of your family's financial
situation or whether you're attending a four-year college or a community college.
Step 2
Notice the word "free" in the name of the application used by all U.S. students seeking financial aid: Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you visit a website that asks for payment to submit the FAFSA, you're not at the official U.S. Department of Education website (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Don't pay for something you can get free.
Step 3
The FAFSA deadline is tricky. The earliest you can file is January 1, because the information is based on the prior calendar year, but you won't have your income tax return completed by then. Submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after the deadline, even if it means you have to estimate your income and expenses; you can always correct them later if necessary. It can take up to six weeks for the form to be processed, and you want to be sure it arrives at the schools you've applied to
before they begin awarding financial aid, or you may lose out.

Make money online with affiliate programs without spending any money
Instructions.Things You'll Need:
•free blog,time to sign up with social bookmarking sites
1.Step
In this article I'm going to show you how to make money online with affiliate programs without spending any money on marketing or a website. If you've ever tried marketing an affiliate program before,you know that it usually takes alot of traffic in order for them to work. I will be teaching you how to use the powerful SEO capabilities of blogs combined with the awesome domino effects of social bookmarking sites to generate the necessary traffic to your blog pages in order to get affiliate sales and hence make money online without spending any money.
2.Step
The first thing you'll want to do is setup a blog which you can do for free at Blogger.com,Wordpress.com,Livejournel.com. There's actually tons of free blog hosting websites. If I had to recommend one it would be wordpress,but that's because its the one I personally use for my blog. You can also do a Google search on "Free Blog" and you'll definitely find what you need. After that you'll just follow the instructions from the blog host you choose, in order to get it setup. I know Wordpress offers alot of free templates that you can immediately use,and have your blog up in just minutes.
3.Step
The next thing you'll want to do is find some good paying affiliate programs. You can find a ton of them at affiliatescout.com for any industry that you like or you can do a good ole Google search for them as well.For those of you who don't know what affiliate programs are. Affiliate programs are put together by companies in order to help promote whatever it is they're selling and when you sign up for them they give you what is called an affiliate link that's coded with your information so when somebody clicks on it and purchases a product or service from that site,you the affiliate get a certain percentage of that sale.
4.Step
Once you find an affiliate program you like, the trick is to write a good informative,keyword rich article on the product or service you're trying to promote with your affiliate links placed within it. You can place it in the middle of your article copy, in certain spots or at the end. Whichever you feel comfortable with.Just make sure its in there somewhere. The reason you want to do it this way is so that Google will rank it high for the keywords you're wanting it to come up in. In other words you want your blog entry that you just wrote to end up on the front page or as close to it as possible for what ever it is you're writing about to get the most traffic. For example let's say you've signed up with an affiliate program that rents movies out online. A good idea would be to write about the benefits of renting movies online and then at the end point out how the particular company that you're promoting would be the best one to go with and then provide your affiliate links at the end.
5.Step
Now, for the promotion part of it. You 'll first want to go to blogsearch.google.com/ping and submit your blog url address. Do this everytime you write a new post. This will help you get it indexed in Google very quickly in order to get free traffic. The next promotional tactic is to submit your blogpost to social bookmark sites - Digg.com,Mixx.com,Reddit.com,and Propellar.com because Google crawls these sites 24 hours a day. It will go though there and pick up your blog post.If it's keyword rich and informative it will get indexed within 24 hours conservatively speaking,but usually within a couple of hours. Not just indexed though,but indexed on the first or second page for the keyword searches of your post which will generate a ton of free traffic back to your site. I will admit this doesn't work everytime,but it has worked more times than it has not, and that's usually because I didn't get it right on point. For the most part if you write a good informative,keyword rich post it will get indexed to the first or second page of Google under your keywords. Because Google is an information provider,and if you provide it with good information it will reward you by ranking your post to the top or front of it's page index because it will think that your post is the best solution to the person's query or search request. Then this will likely lead to a ton of targeted traffic to your site for the article post you just wrote and increase the likelyhood that your affiliate links will get clicked on, and then them purchasing from your affilate site thus making you money.
6.Step
This doesn't always work perfectly,but it works most of the time and is the best way I know to make money online with affiliate programs without spending any of your own money. Also there are a ton more social bookmarking sites,and they can be found at socialmarker.com. You can submit to all of them and increase your exposure. The ones I listed above are the ones I've found to be the most effective for quick results,though. I also chose the blog method because they are very search engine friendly and help to give you good page rankings on Google and other search engines.
Make Money Via Affiliate Marketing!
Instructions.Step
1Keep up with the current marketing techniques. Affiliate marketing is still a developing form of marketing that is changing constantly. The more you keep up with the changes, the more likely you will make money through this technique. This relatively new marketing technique is internet based, so it changes as the internet changes and it becomes more advanced and developed every year. Keep up with the changes and you'll make more money.
Step
2Pay attention to the type of affiliate marketing you are using. Different types of marketing make a huge difference in the amount you make. For example, in the pay-per-click affiliate marketing technique, the affiliate gets paid a certain fixed amount for every click on their website and the merchant pays them a fixed amount for every click. This can be profitable if you know how to draw traffic to your website, but it is not profitable if you have very few people visiting the website.
Step
3Take advantage of keywords. When it comes to affiliate marketing, the more traffic you get to your website, the more money you will make. Keywords are the best way to ensure that you are getting that traffic. You want your website to be easily found and keywords are how people will find you. Pay attention when you set up keywords so that you can be sure that people are finding your website.
Step
4Make the affiliate links easy to find and interesting. For some types of affiliate marketing, this isn't a problem since they will end up along the side, top or bottom, but if you are using a link, you want to ensure that your links are easy to find and that there is something directing customers to the link.
Step
5For those businesses that are using affiliate marketing, make it easy for your customers to buy your products. If the customer has trouble buying the product, they'll look elsewhere, so make sure your links take the customer to user friendly areas of your website that make the finding of your product easy.
