Where Advertisers and Bloggers Meet
2009-10-19 18:07:00 Blogging for me started as a leisure pursuit and it has now become one of the ways of earning, creative activity and social hangout. I started my first blog sometime ago as a showcase of my published work. Falling prey to the hype around generating additional income online, I started like writing reviews about products and services I like. This quest brought me to BuyBlogReviews.com ? service that brings advertisers and bloggers together. BuyBlogReviews.com has a nice set up. Explore BuyBlogReviews.com and see what they are offering and how. Their pay structure is simple. The blogger will get 70% of the advertiser paid fee per posting. BuyBlogReviews will take the other 30% as their fee. Bloggers are free to make as much as they can, and get 70% of the total posting offer from the advertisers. Bloggers are paid on the 1st and 15th of every month, for previous work.They have a marketplace on bidding format. Whoever takes the job first, gets it. On your blog, must you disclose that y...

Your Married Life
2009-10-19 18:03:00 I just read some great article at My Married Life and at Supposed Married Bless (where couples blog together). I cant help envying those blessed couples who spend time together doing what they enjoy doing together. I have a different experience though. Being a stay home husband is not easy (thanks that I am home only on holidays), I have different experience. Today, after lazing around and breakfast in bed (sort of), when I got settled in front of TV to update myself with the turbulent current affairs and to scan though pile of Sunday newspaper with a large cup of Doodh Patti, what I was told is this: ?yeh zara help to ki jiyee please.? And with this I was presented potatoes, lady fingers and (worst still) onions to peel and cut for lunch. What you think I did? I did as I was told otherwise. That is the price of being a good husband. No?
Are You Moving Out
2009-10-19 17:54:00 During 26 years of my color service I have moved 14 times (no exaggeration). Frequently moving from one station to another has made me expert in breaking house and my wife in setting it up again and lamenting at the losses; broken crockery, scratched furniture and worst still items gone missing during transit. This is a ?gigantic? task to say the least.During my moves, I never knew what is available on MoveOut.com. While going through the How to Pack Tips, I wished I have known the service earlier. It says, ?With a little care and planning, you and your stuff will both arrive in mint condition. Most damage comes from vibration. Think of a stack of dishes in a moving box on the bed of a bouncing truck. No matter how well the sides are padded, a firm up-and-down jolt could crack the entire stack. On the other hand, dishes packed on edge and surrounded by bubble wrap have a better chance of surviving the trip unharmed. Any type of move (house holds or commercial office and industrial) ...

Why You Blog - Survey
2009-10-19 16:42:00 The blogging phenomenon has combined three major activities - communicating, sharing and social networking - on the internet. Why do you blog? I asked bloggers this question. First, I posted the question on my own blog Light Within and then emailed the post to bloggers soliciting their comments on the post. Earlier, I have been scouting blogsphere in an effort to find out different motives for blogging.Some 20 bloggers posted their comments and almost same numbers replied through email, pointing to posts on their own blogs answering my question. Here is a kaleidoscope of opinions from bloggers that I was able to contact and read their posts.Some bloggers blog for themselves, for sheer joy of it. For some others blogging is a source of expression of their egos, for venting out frustrations, for getting noticed by others, for admiration and affirmation or simply for meeting people - hoping for intimacy with those whom they are unlikely to meet in real life.Read column by S A J Shirazi...

2009-10-19 16:40:00 What you do when your large hard disk (of hundreds gigabytes) is choke full and when thousands of files get on the disk without your control? I suggest you have a look at Moleskinsoft?s file utility. A new Moleskinsoft program - Clone Remover has been created to fight with these duplicate files.

Jaho Jalal
2009-10-16 06:21:00 I met Jalal Hamid Bhatti back in 1975 (no I am not dating myself here) but I knew his very little; only what I saw as a course mate and later what I kept hearing over time. I knew that he is a nice young man, quick at the uptake ( intelligent student), methodical (in life and work) and very determined (if he would decide to do a thing, he will come what may). Life kept taking us on different paths and we were unable to meet more often.I even never knew what he says publically, ?I am your knight in shining armor, Your one and true love, I will do anything to please you, And everything to love you, I will protect you with my sword, And treat you like a princess, Give you my castle, And build a kingdom, I will do anything for you, I need you in my life, So let me be your king, And you be my queen, To live happily ever after, And have a story book ending?Recently, once had had hung his helmet, I had a chance to peep inside his persona and have stated knowing him more.

From The Hinterland
2009-10-14 06:58:00 Husain QaziPakistan has an amazing diversity with regards to tourism and natural beauty; lofty mountains, quiet deserts, picturesque wetlands and the fertile plains. Many of natural attractions are off the beaten paths and still unexplored though.Pakistan has one of the world?s largest canal irrigation network with three major reservoirs, 16 barrages and 44 canals. In addition to economic advantages, wetlands have a rich potential as tourism and recreation sites. The meandering rivers, quiet canals, vast expanses along with head-works, barrages and residential colonies with their serene and tranquil setting provide an excellent infrastructure for tourist and recreation resorts.?All work and no play make Jack a dull boy?.

Changing Chitral
2009-10-13 04:32:00 Picturesque Chitral town sits up in Pakistan's northwest district, walled in by the Hindu Kush range. During winters, the only way in is by air (weather permitting) as the two passes, the 3118-meter Lowari from Dir and the 3810-meter Shandur from the upper Gilgit Valley are closed to road traffic. The Fokker Friendships drone for 50 minutes and burst through clouds on decent to reveal on mountains covered with whitecaps and red tin roof houses.This is Chitral. On the small airfield, the cold wind thrust you to shiver. The remoteness of the district has left it undeveloped in spite of grand natural beauty, hospitable people and ancient history. The town is a base camp for tourists, adventurers and researchers from across the world. And, people seem to be living there in peace.Chitral, located at 1500 meters from sea level is a beautiful and historic town. It has lively bazaar -- a miniature Peshawar full of Mediterranean looking faces under Chitrali caps and foreigners. Geoffrey Moo... More About: Changing

2009-10-12 18:53:00 Developments in computer technologies, in the past decades, have had their impact on human life in more than one way. But where this increasing interaction between human beings and computers is leading and how is it defining the focus of research in the field are some of the valid fields of study that are likely to make difference in human lives in future.The emergence of information technology (IT), the availability of the web, and the user friendly designs are rapidly increasing the use of computers. Despite odds like literacy, availability (and reliability) of phone connection and affordability, the use of computers is significantly increasing in Pakistan as well. E-mail, real-time text correspondence and voice exchange are already popular asides from word processing and spread sheets. But in Pakistan, most of the new concepts are still untested, which makes any analysis inconclusive.In developed world, concepts, such as video communications, virtual discussion groups, and forums...

Aion
2009-10-10 12:10:00 Aion is not like every other MMO. Given the hype and popularity, I am sure most of the fans are already familiar with the game. Give it a try and you will find out that Aion takes place in a world that smacks of Nordic and various European mythologies, but it takes a distinctly Asian twist on things. The world Atriea once had a massive tower, called the Tower of Eternity, that stretched to the heavens and acted as the physical representation of the god Aion on this plane. Aion created a race of guardians called Draken that rebelled against his rule, becoming the race of demons called the Balaur and leading assault after assault upon the world of men. To combat this, Aion established a barrier and a group of 12 angelic beings that would fight the Balaur. Some humans that managed to harness to power of aether also joined in the fight, as they had ascended to become the immortal, wing-bearing Daevas. Eventually, the Tower of Eternity was sundered and the world was split into two. ...
Artistic Profile, Alam Sher, Photographer
2009-10-10 12:00:00 I have known Alam Sher since my days in Okara Garizon. I was serving there and Alam Sher was practicing photography there. Given my interests and Alam Sher?s passion for photography, we came closer to each other and together explored bits and pieces of heritage and history spread around in historic tapestry around Okara. Alam Sher?s work appeared in almost all the newspapers and magazines (including Dawn, Herald, the Nations and the News) where I wrote. Alam Sher?s artistic vision is best conveyed through his photography; the goal being that the image speaks directly to the viewer, preferably without the use of language, written or spoken. Success varies as I move toward my ideal. He thinks, "Since I was a child, I?ve looked at the world through a viewfinder, sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally, trying to capture on film or digital memory, that image that best records my impression of a scene, experience, person, whatever. I?ve traveled extensively and like to think that I... More About: Photography , Photographers , Profile , Photographer

By the way, all three computers are sharing same internet connection that is from local cable network. I can open his blog. I did and looked for third party codes at his blog and found nothing. He had not given permission to anyone to post as has been explained in Blog ger Buzz post titled Keeping Your Blog Secure. But the problem is not this. Real problem started when I open the blog and saw all her images had been replaced with explicit nudes. Those images were quickly removed but my friend still can?t access his blog, worst still, he can?t access to any blogspot blogs. What can be the problem here? Suggestions are solicited.
