style="font-family:georgia;">Well first of all the instant that you don’t have a topic to post on your blog is the most beneficial moment in a bloggers life as far I know because at that moment when you start writing just in the post there is like a flow of ideas popping into your head. What to do when this happens to you ??? for one thing …. Get a notepad and write all those ideas down cause they are something that your own mind created and hence they are unique. Like rightnow … would you believe I ran out of ideas to post today so I just started typing and all of a sudden a unique post was created that comprises of my own words, phrases, ideas and even mistakes. That’s what counts when you want to make a totally original blog <span style="">:)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;">Ok so now that you got all your ideas in front of you in your notepad, just go through them and look at which topics that you can post on easily, (This is important so pay attention) the ideas on which you can post easily?? Just cut them off… Yeh you read correctly … cut them off …<span style=""> </span>that’s cause the easy one’s are always the one’s that many others have written on also. The one’s that you may find difficult on your list are the one’s you should concentrate on. Select one topic from the hard one’s that you think you can blog on ( now don’t start a blog just yet okay !!! ).</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;">What you wanna do at this moment is just get on the net and get all the information you can get on that topic, print the info… yes print it cause keeping bookmarks is not that efficient when you wanna make an original blog… cause reading from papers gives you more time to concentrate on a subject and hence it gives you more ideas <span style="">:)</span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;">Ok now that you have done all the research, the head spinning ideas searching thing., now its time for the real thing ??? whats that ??? Well Dah ! Blogging <span style="">:)</span> Now what you wanna do is choose a good URL Link for you site or blog this is important cause the topic of your blog should be in it cause it depends on people to get to your blog … what this is about that is when people search for like blog ideas there are hundreds even thousands of pages out there that give you results but we wanna attract those people direct to your blog by getting on the top list of search results <span style="">:)</span> that’s done by marketing and posting unique posts <span style="">:)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;">After you have decided on a Url, now comes the Topic !!!

Here's our all-purpose laptop buying guide for the average Joe.<br /><br />As an average Joe, you don't demand the fastest machine around, and you certainly don't care about every single bell or whistle that many pricey laptops offer. You need a <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/159235/cheap_laptops_offer_solid_value.html">laptop that offers good value</a>, one that has a couple of key features -- and if it can provide a little extra, so much the better.<br /><br />You require something portable enough to let you take work on the road, and maybe entertain the kids with a movie. Perhaps it can enable you to play a few casual games in your off hours, and, of course, surf the Web, compose e-mail and juggle Office documents.<br /><br /><strong>CPU<br /><br /></strong>Most all-purpose laptops these days offer decent performance. You won't need to expend much effort to find a notebook that can deliver decent video playback and run your <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/130045-6/101_fantastic_freebies.html">office applications</a> at a reasonable clip. Heck, you might even be able to sneak in a bit of casual gaming on the sly.<br /><br />As for which CPUs to consider -- whether AMD or Intel -- you don't have to lay out a fortune. An Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 Mobile CPU, for example, is plenty for handling Windows Vista's everyday chores. AMD's 2.3GHz Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-84 CPU, also available in value-priced all-purpose portables, doesn't run quite as quickly, but it delivers just enough gusto for a slightly lower price than Intel products.<br /><br /><strong>System memory<br /><br /></strong>The cheapest and best way to get a quick performance boost in any computer is to load up on the RAM. Most machines offer at least 2GB of RAM these days. (One warning: The 32-bit versions of Windows Vista support only about 3GB of RAM; if you plan on ever going higher in your laptop, make sure that you buy a 64-bit version of Vista.) The safe bet is to upgrade memory from the get-go: If you're having your laptop built to order, add RAM then. Upgrading to 3GB or 4GB may seem like overkill initially, but if you want to hang on to the laptop for a while, that extra memory will keep your system motoring longer.<br /><br /><strong>Graphics board (aka GPU)</strong><br /><br />The GPU can make or break your experience on a laptop, yet this is the first thing the manufacturer will give short shrift to in order to achieve a lower price. At the very least, go for a notebook that offers a discrete graphics board option, even if you're not completely convinced that you'll need it. A GPU can affect the system's performance in ways you may never have considered, so don't dismiss discrete graphics as being a necessity only for gamers. Maybe you want to watch a movie in glorious 720p on the notebook's expansive screen. Or perhaps you'll find yourself charmed by <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/131885/is_windows_vistas_aero_interface_a_battery_hog.html">Vista's Aero environment</a> -- all of that eye candy gets a big boost from a graphics processor.<br /><br /><strong>Screen size and native resolution<br /><br /></strong>If you're buying a laptop for general-purpose use, the sweet spot for screen size ranges from 13 to 16 inches, depending on your specific needs. But in considering such sizes, many shoppers fail to take into account the display's native resolution, which is typically too low and can make for some hard-to-read text. It's a personal-preference thing, but I'm partial to laptops with 14-inch screens. That size is just roomy enough to accommodate video well, yet it still makes for a machine that's easy to transport.<br /><br />If video is your thing, try to steer toward a laptop that offers resolutions capable of wide-screen 720p video. (Hint: If the screen has a resolution above 1280 by 720, it could technically give you a 720p picture, so long as the laptop has the horsepower. For example, the <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/47783/review/r61064g.html">Samsung R610</a>, which has a 1366-by-768-pixel resolution, can handle the job.) Most notebook screens should be able to do that now, but you also need to consider whether the laptop's graphics processor is capable of producing the optimal picture (see above).<br /><br /><strong>Battery life</strong><br /><br />First, ask yourself how much travel time you'll need with your laptop. On average, an all-purpose notebook will last about 3.5 to four hours on a single charge. If you don't expect to go mobile often, don't bother with a big battery. If you'll be bringing your machine on the road regularly, start looking at higher-capacity batteries for the next long haul. And don't trust vendors' battery-life specs -- many of them quote times for their laptops configured with higher-capacity batteries and with many of the notebook's features turned off (dimming the screen brightness to nothingness and shutting off Wi-Fi, for instance).<br /><br />Want the straight scoop? Check out our WorldBench 6 test results for laptops (start at our <a href="http://tech.msn.com/products/Top10AllPurposeLaptops.aspx">Top 10 All-Purpose Laptops</a> chart). We use a bunch of real-world programs in real-world situations, and we run the notebooks into the ground.<br /><br /><strong>Optical drive</strong><br /><br />These days, almost every laptop packs a DVD burner -- and many of them offer <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/121297/burning_questions_whats_next_for_lightscribe.html">LightScribe</a> technology for inscribing images or labels on top of specially coated discs. For enjoying high-definition flicks, <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/159405/bluray_price_drop_studios_slash_movie_prices.html">Blu-ray Disc</a> is the format of choice. Most laptops come standard with a DVD-RW drive, but BD-ROM drives are slowly creeping into all-purpose laptops, too. Of course, adding a BD-ROM drive often means tacking a few extra bucks onto the price tag.<br /><br /><strong>Connectivity</strong><br /><br />Most all-purpose machines offer three or four USB ports, an SD/Memory Stick flash card reader, a webcam, headphone jacks, VGA ports and Ethernet jacks. And without exception, such notebooks also have at least 802.11g wireless (802.11n should be ubiquitous within the next few months).<br /><br /><strong>Extra features</strong><br /><br />For the near future, you'll want to have HDMI-out (for high-definition video) and eSATA (for high-speed data transfers). Another addition that notebook makers are including more often as time goes by is a hybrid USB/eSATA port. We're also seeing some all-purpose models with a pass-through charging port, which allows you to charge a USB-powered device through the laptop -- even when it isn't on.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vnEKTXCvL1Jj4RXZAE2UuZSZtexJvt1AxLvyP2Y1PPPcPRkIyzJ1M0kRGd1CkbPATVv2WHmdogRAQn_DIN2PNOca5mG_bXJY8_3I2Vri0TEWfpUlPFJYgjVtmpj13oq5otcZmMQqv2Rk/s1600-h/7DA59F1F3F587FB89D7A9BA57B54C.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vnEKTXCvL1Jj4RXZAE2UuZSZtexJvt1AxLvyP2Y1PPPcPRkIyzJ1M0kRGd1CkbPATVv2WHmdogRAQn_DIN2PNOca5mG_bXJY8_3I2Vri0TEWfpUlPFJYgjVtmpj13oq5otcZmMQqv2Rk/s320/7DA59F1F3F587FB89D7A9BA57B54C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387886643947043826" border="0" /></a><strong>Our all-purpose laptop picks</strong><br /><br />Selecting one laptop that's perfect for everyday use is a bit tricky, but the <a href="http://tech.msn.com/products/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=18375506">Gateway UC7807u</a> hits most of the basic needs for less than $800. It might not be the fastest thoroughbred in the stable (it earned a mark of only 80 in WorldBench 6 tests), but it is fast enough to finish the race -- while carrying a host of features. Gateway manages to cram in both HDMI and VGA video outputs, three USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard slot, a flash-card reader, Ethernet, Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth. The machine also provides a slot-fed DVD burner and a 5,400-rpm, 320GB hard drive. The UC7807u does have several drawbacks: For one thing, it stumbles in the stamina department, lasting only 3.5 hours in our battery-life tests. This Gateway is also fairly heavy (5.3 pounds) for an all-purpose model with a small screen.<br /><br />Another all-purpose alternative is the $800 <a href="http://tech.msn.com/products/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=19134104">HP Pavilion dv3</a>, which lasted about two hours longer than the Gateway UC7807u did in our battery tests and offers eSATA ports and other great options in a lightweight frame. Unfortunately, the dv3 scored a measly 64 in WorldBench 6. If you're looking for a bigger screen, consider the <a href="http://tech.msn.com/products/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=16649371">Dell Studio XPS 16</a>. Its hardy construction and sweet-looking 16-inch screen will grab your attention. Of course, with that high-end display, it will also grab your wallet -- our review unit would set you back about $1,800.<br /><br /><em>Illustrations by Joe Ciardielo.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://tech.msn.com/howto/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=20591513">MSN</a>, </em><cite class="author">By Darren Gladstone, PC World</cite>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-19800464076302173562009-10-01T23:24:00.000-07:002009-10-01T23:28:27.354-07:00Google Expert Tips: How to Find Anything Fast<p>Google catalogs an immense amount of data from all over the Web. These tools will help you find and organize just what you want, just how you want it.</p><div class="detail">The nice people at Google have invented multiple ways to make their core product -- Internet search -- even better. The tips and tricks below will help you improve the precision of the search results Google provides -- and use far fewer keystrokes to get them.<br /><br /></div><div class="detail"><strong>Get to know search operators:</strong> Google made its name by delivering powerful search results in response to queries of any level of sophistication, but learning to use Google's search operators can really hone your Google-fu. The <a href="http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html" name="">Google Help Cheat Sheet</a> rounds up some of the finest, such as define: (for quick dictionary lookups), site: (to return results from a specific Web site) and OR (as in "pc OR world").<br /><br /></div><div class="detail"><strong>Convert nearly any measurement:</strong> Aside from working as a simple calculator, Google is also a great tool for converting units of measure. Need to know how many ounces are in a cup? Enter <strong>ounces in a cup</strong> in Google. Or try something exotic, like how many furlongs are in a league. Google can handle it.<br /><br /></div><div class="detail"><strong>Narrow down your results:</strong> Usually you can find what you're looking for on the first page of Google results, but if you need something very specific -- say, a page that was published in the last 24 hours -- click the new <em>Show Options</em> link above your search results. Among other features available is the interactive Wonder Wheel, a spidering graphical representation of queries related to yours.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRodROV01kGl52fCUQGTJarGh5tQ5lG1ryMLnES-Fg7YMg8aiXGUVh1E1vQGV_1B6OSftUFEbrTgvOBpkvVDU-I8ZHOCQnMFy8wYu08ArfXJPHs5dJs9Im0Iht33qy0MZ0Z5C8hBQFhzWv/s1600-h/google.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRodROV01kGl52fCUQGTJarGh5tQ5lG1ryMLnES-Fg7YMg8aiXGUVh1E1vQGV_1B6OSftUFEbrTgvOBpkvVDU-I8ZHOCQnMFy8wYu08ArfXJPHs5dJs9Im0Iht33qy0MZ0Z5C8hBQFhzWv/s320/google.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387885343714168306" border="0" /></a><strong>Navigate results from your keyboard:</strong> Google's <a href="http://www.google.com/experimental/" name="">Experimental Search page</a> is full of fun experiments from the search giant. One of the best is the Keyboard shortcuts experiment, which adds Gmail-like keyboard shortcuts to Google search results; for example, pressing "j" or "k" moves you up or down, respectively, between results.<br /><br /><div class="detail"><strong>Find killer desktop wallpaper:</strong> Google Image Search is a familiar go-to resource for users seeking new wallpaper, but finding wallpaper that fits your desktop is much easier than you may realize. Go to the <a href="http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search" name="">Google Advanced Image Search page</a> and click the <em>Use my desktop size</em> link to automatically search for images that exactly fit your desktop dimensions.<br /><br /></div><div class="detail"><strong>Square your results:</strong> If you're a hard-core data nerd, give <a href="http://www.google.com/squared" name="">Google Squared</a> a try. This new search tool returns results as structured data in a spreadsheet to help you get a bird's-eye view of the data contained in the results. Search for "DSLR cameras," for example, to compare and contrast prices and resolutions for digital SLRs.</div><div class="detail"><strong><br />Developer's choice: Quick local searches<br /><br /></strong><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEissfzMe8zVwYxvdcP8XoDLBCztsLahug4ohJ_HXc8_8bS42wrQMvNrsonmSqNbTvnmbam5uxXLTqM_8LMe-4IJbO0xwFqQwyG7qXFiS1B8uOh4hwQ-hEcrJjIR-qGxcegOzlmdm3dHCoWP/s1600-h/2514671317A96E22944CD6116D83.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEissfzMe8zVwYxvdcP8XoDLBCztsLahug4ohJ_HXc8_8bS42wrQMvNrsonmSqNbTvnmbam5uxXLTqM_8LMe-4IJbO0xwFqQwyG7qXFiS1B8uOh4hwQ-hEcrJjIR-qGxcegOzlmdm3dHCoWP/s320/2514671317A96E22944CD6116D83.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387885334260279778" border="0" /></a>"I'm really happy with how easy it is to use local search on Google.

But there are some categories where savings are really pronounced, and if you're not signed up for deal newsletters, or checking for coupons before authorizing a transaction, you might be missing out on even more savings. (Note: Most quoted prices are rounded to the nearest dollar.)</div><div class="detail"><strong><br />Buy a refurbished laptop or other piece of hardware:</strong> In the market for a new laptop? Maybe one of those spiffy Dell XPS M1530 systems tricked out for entertainment? They start at around $949, but if you're willing to go the refurbished route, you can pick one up for as little as $729. That's the price I found in <a href="http://www.dell.com/Outlet" name="">Dell's Outlet Store</a> (shown below), which is home to all of Dell's desktop and laptop refurbs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEL0hWHsHW5lOVTWybaXugDtMsDzAItgSiCIwsgakFFBvms5td3-XFk2kblwFoQ4PlSDPI2ap49FFSN-vouwkPvz7fyeTkI0BcKAIH_29S81vqVZTHpq20E1SaECiX9z9-lTlLr5FiYRHp/s1600-h/dell+outlet.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEL0hWHsHW5lOVTWybaXugDtMsDzAItgSiCIwsgakFFBvms5td3-XFk2kblwFoQ4PlSDPI2ap49FFSN-vouwkPvz7fyeTkI0BcKAIH_29S81vqVZTHpq20E1SaECiX9z9-lTlLr5FiYRHp/s320/dell+outlet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387882686218355122" border="0" /></a><div class="detail">Refurbished items are those that didn't pass a manufacturer's initial quality checks or that were returned for some reason. In both cases, the hardware gets rechecked (and, if necessary, repaired) and restocked, though it can't be sold as new. Hence the often-hefty discounts.</div><div class="detail">What's the downside? The gear may have dents, scratches, and/or other physical flaws, though nothing that will impact its operation. Also, it usually comes with a shorter-than-average warranty (90 days is typical). Apple is an exception: Refurbished iPods, iMacs and the like come with the same one-year warranty as new items. Same goes for Dell.<br /><br /></div><div class="detail">For more advice about refurbished laptops, check out the <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/122409/mobile_computing_update_on_refurbished_notebooks.html" name="">advice from our mobile computing guru, Jim Martin</a>.

Here's the scoop</a>.</div><div class="detail">HP, Lenovo and others sell refurbished PCs directly from their online stores; you can find refurb Blu-ray players, universal remotes, GPS receivers and other electronics at sites like Buy.com, eCost and Newegg. <strong>Estimated savings: $220 on a Dell XPS M1530.<br /><br /></strong></div><div class="detail"><strong>Wait for savings to come to you:</strong> The Web is awash in discounts, promotions and other ways to save money. For example, <a href="http://www.wishradar.com/" name="">WishRadar </a>will notify you via e-mail when the price on one of your Amazon wish-list items drops to where you want it. (Come on, $10 for "Arrested Development" Season 3 on DVD!) Price-comparison site <a href="http://www.pricegrabber.com/" name="">PriceGrabber </a>offers a similar tool: Add any product to your personal shopping list, then set a "target price alert." PriceGrabber will notify you when the item hits that price. (Full disclosure: PriceGrabber powers <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/shopping/" name="">PCWorld's Shop and Compare</a> feature.)<br /><br /></div><div class="detail">If you routinely shop at the same stores, sign up for their e-mail newsletters.

Why not spend a few minutes searching for one? Just pop open a new browser tab and search for the name of the store and the words "coupon code" (or "discount code" or "promotion code"). Or head straight to a code-collecting site like <a href="http://deallocker.com/" name="">DealLocker</a> or <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/" name="">RetailMeNot</a> and look for the latest offers for your store. You may come up empty, but you could also land a code that saves you 10 percent or nets you free shipping. It works about half the time for me, making the search well-worth the effort. <strong>Estimated savings: $50 per year based on my shopping habits.<br /><br /></strong><div class="detail"><strong>Save on shipping:</strong> Speaking of shipping, head to <a href="http://www.freeshippingon.com/" name="">Free Shipping On...</a> to search Amazon and eBay for items that include -- wait for it -- free shipping. You'll also find free-shipping coupons for stores like Best Buy and Staples.

Think again. These handy pieces of software can fill in for much more expensive alternatives.</p><div class="detail">Regular PCWorld.com visitors know that for just about every pricey software application or operating system, a freeware or open-source alternative can be found. For example, OpenOffice is often mentioned as a no-cost alternative to Microsoft Office. GIMP and Paint.NET can fill in for Photoshop. And for some advanced users, Linux is considered to be a viable option for Windows.</div><div class="detail"><br />But here are some lesser-known stars of the free-software universe. In some cases they can even take the place of expensive hardware.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47Us9uLjlT-oHcTvO-EhLBVGU1lTHRfOaSAKsKVrQz_JfZQtGTJnu-RP0U96fW_0gSD1RCxNnPsGkIY4TEMU9cyq0smNVZf8tdabOoB7-5IapdQF81vPxeZOaMfAfO0s7Yopjx-8eEkzQ/s1600-h/burn+cd.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 129px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47Us9uLjlT-oHcTvO-EhLBVGU1lTHRfOaSAKsKVrQz_JfZQtGTJnu-RP0U96fW_0gSD1RCxNnPsGkIY4TEMU9cyq0smNVZf8tdabOoB7-5IapdQF81vPxeZOaMfAfO0s7Yopjx-8eEkzQ/s320/burn+cd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387881509230612466" border="0" /></a><strong>Burn CDs and DVDs:</strong> If all you want to do is whip together a mix CD or archive some video files onto a DVD, pricey disc-authoring programs like Nero and Easy Media Creator are probably overkill. Instead, try <a href="http://infrarecorder.org/" name="">InfraRecorder</a>, which uses a simple Explorer-style interface to help you burn, baby, burn.<div class="detail">Like its commercial counterparts, InfraRecorder can author all kinds of discs, from data to audio to video. It can also make copies of unprotected discs and burn ISO image files to create bootable CDs and DVDs. Because it's open-source, InfraRecorder does all that without burning any of your cash. <strong><br /><br />Estimated savings: $100.</strong></div><div class="detail"><strong>Manage your money without spending any:</strong> The irony of using Quicken or Microsoft Money to manage your finances is that they both cost money to purchase. If you need a free option, there's an open-source alternative: Gnucash. It manages personal and small-business accounts, creates detailed report graphs, categorizes your cash flow and pulls stock quotes from the Web.</div><div class="detail">Gnucash can import QIF files from Quicken, and it even has online-banking features so you can reconcile your credit-card and bank statements without entering the data manually. Best of all, <a href="http://www.gnucash.org/" name="">Gnucash </a>doesn't "sunset" after two or three years like Quicken and Money. In other words, you won't suddenly find yourself forced to upgrade if you want continued online services and support.</div><div class="detail">Speaking of online services, if you're comfortable going with a Web-based approach instead of a desktop app, be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/152734/personal_finance_20_a_wealth_of_new_web_apps.html" name="">latest crop of Web-based personal finance apps</a>.

Why shell out $359 on a bulky, ungainly piece of single-purpose hardware when I can use the hardware I'm already carrying? I'm talking PDAs and smartphones, which I can pack with mainstream fiction and nonfiction titles from services like <a href="http://www.fictionwise.com/" name="">Fictionwise</a>, <a href="http://www.ereader.com/" name="">eReader </a>(which is powered by Fictionwise) and <a href="http://www.mobipocket.com/en/HomePage/default.asp?Language=EN" name="">Mobipocket</a>. Sure, the screens on phones are small, but they're also backlit -- great for reading in bed. iPhone users can even download new books on the fly, no PC required, using the free eReader and <a href="http://www.lexcycle.com/" name="">Stanza</a> apps.<strong> Estimated savings: $359.</strong><div class="detail"><strong>Create diagrams online:</strong> Need diagrams, but don't have the cash for the widely-used Microsoft Visio program? You could shell out $559 for Microsoft Visio 2007 Professional, $259 for Visio 2007 Standard, or zero for <a href="http://www.gliffy.com/" name="">Gliffy</a>. While Gliffy lacks some of Visio's high-end features, the impressive Web-based diagramming tool lets you build flow charts, floor plans and just about any other kind of drawing you want. You can add colors, drop shadows and even gradient fills to your shapes, and collaborate on drawings with other users. All this without a single thing to install or a single dollar spent. Of course, you may want to consider an ad-free Premium account ($5/month), which adds e-mail support and security features, but even in its free form, Gliffy is spiffy. <strong>Estimated savings: $259 to $559.</strong></div><br /></div><cite class="author">Source: <a href="http://tech.msn.com/howto/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=18346286">Msn, </a></cite><a href="http://tech.msn.com/howto/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=18346286"><cite class="author">By Rick Broida, PC World</cite></a><cite class="author"><br /></cite></div>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-35010910991191879212009-09-26T06:15:00.001-07:002009-09-26T06:24:42.326-07:00The 11 Most Influential Microprocessors of All Time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeVe1dVwyYlF-5-o7yQeBHzKkuWa0s3X4rMkEYYeTptLsk5OZuSI6JQJ3Wxb0j7fXZkGxqHXKkOUf2CYWGJZOPCk4jqTNfE7wgGI7jobJGF-n4Ye3I7FmtuL_G7pFRUyzIQXdNidluhY_D/s1600-h/pentium.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeVe1dVwyYlF-5-o7yQeBHzKkuWa0s3X4rMkEYYeTptLsk5OZuSI6JQJ3Wxb0j7fXZkGxqHXKkOUf2CYWGJZOPCk4jqTNfE7wgGI7jobJGF-n4Ye3I7FmtuL_G7pFRUyzIQXdNidluhY_D/s320/pentium.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385764613076206370" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; "><div class="ssinfo" style="float: left; width: 328px; "><div class="desc">From the brains of the Voyager space mission to the inspiration for modern CPUs, here are the chips that built our modern technological culture.</div><div><br /></div><div><h4 class="title" style="font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; ">The 11 Most Influential Microprocessors of All Time</h4><cite style="font-size: 9px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-style: normal; ">The 11 Most Influential Microprocessors of All Time (Image courtesy of PC World)</cite><div class="caption" style="padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; "><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>Chips That Made a Difference<br /></strong>Microprocessors are wondrous devices: They integrate the brain of a computer onto a single electronic component. The computing power that once required a room full of equipment now fits onto a razor-thin slice of silicon, usually no larger than a centimeter square. Almost everything we do these days -- such as cooking our food, driving our cars, doing our laundry and, of course, reading articles just like this one -- depends on these mighty mites.<br /><br />In the wide field of microprocessors, some chips have stood out for the influence they've had technologically, culturally and economically. They aren't necessarily the most successful, the best-selling or the most powerful, but they each started an important and persistent trend -- an architecture, a marketing concept or a whole new use for computing.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">11.

So the processor giant devised a unique, easy-to-trademark identity: Pentium.<br /><br />Initially, critics <a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=W3sWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7RIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4480,5525334&dq=pentium" style="text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(7, 81, 154); ">ridiculed the name</a>, but in fact the Pentium opened a new era in consumer-microprocessor marketing. No longer were CPUs referred to solely by numbers such as 286, 386 and 486; instead they carried a brand name that resonated in the public consciousness.<br /><br />That brand gave Intel processors a certain cachet that computer owners could easily brag about. Rival manufacturers could no longer produce clones and call them "486" or the like -- a chip was either a real Pentium or a knock-off. The trademarked CPU became a status symbol, and it remains so today.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>10.

Initially the 68000 powered Unix workstations and servers, including the Sun-1. But the hybrid 16/32-bit processor didn't make huge waves in the personal-computer world until Apple incorporated it in 1984's Macintosh. Descendants of the 68000 powered all Macintosh computers until Apple switched to PowerPC chips in the late 1990s.<br /><br />After Motorola dropped the 68000’s price in the mid-1980s, the processor also saw significant use in the Atari ST and Amiga computer lines, the Sega Genesis video game console and arcade machines. The 68K core still lives on in embedded microcontrollers used in various applications such as automotive-engine controllers, front-panel displays and weather-monitoring instruments.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>9.

AMD Opteron 240 (2003)<br />Breakthrough application: IBM server hardware</strong><br /><br />Developing computing technology is as much about change as anything else. So when it came time to move from the 32-bit world to the 64-bit world, Intel tried its hand with Itanium, a 64-bit processor that had 32-bit support. Unfortunately, the Itanium ran existing 32-bit code slowly.<br /><br />Meanwhile, AMD was busy extending Intel's existing x86 instruction set to incorporate 64-bit support without any performance cost on 32-bit software. Known as "x86-64" or "AMD64," this instruction-set design premiered in the AMD Opteron 240. The design was so effective that Intel adopted it as well, incorporating the instruction set into all of the x86 processor lines except Itanium.<br /><br />All desktop-PC microprocessors manufactured today use Opteron's x86-64 instruction set, and the standard will likely persist for many years to come.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>6.

Acorn Computers ARM2 (1986)<br />Breakthrough application: Acorn Archimedes (1987)</strong><br /><br />ARM originally stood for "Acorn RISC Machine," a name that reveals its heritage. ARM started as a simple, low-cost, 32-bit RISC (reduced instruction set computer) processor line designed by British computer maker Acorn Computers. It premiered in the form of the ARM2 in 1987's Acorn Archimedes, a 32-bit computer released only in the United Kingdom.<br /><br />The Archimedes and its descendants fared well in the U.K., but never reached U.S. shores. However, the ARM architecture truly shone in its second life as an embedded microcontroller for consumer electronics, powering intelligent gadgets that hundreds of millions of people use every day. ARM processors have found their way into PDAs, cell phones, the Nintendo DS, iPods and iPhones, GPS units, digital cameras and much more. And they've done so by the billions, making ARM the most-used 32-bit embedded processor architecture of all time.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><strong>2.

This 8-bit CPU ignited the PC revolution as a part of the MITS Altair 8800, the first mass-produced personal-computer kit. The 8080's success quickly spawned competitors such as the Motorola 6800 and enhanced clones like the Z80, expanding the microprocessor's market potential. More important, the 8080 became the foundation of Intel's 80x dynasty of successors -- a long, proud line that includes the 8085, the 8086, the 8088 and chips beyond.

Some other actions may also be used through the use of icons (those available in the control window).<br /><br />Lak and Chips<br />A Lak is magical energy from monsters and can be obtained by defeating monsters while wearing the appropriate necklace. This necklace will be available fairly early in the game. Gathered Lak can be consumed if the player dies, preventing him to lose experience points (the amount of Lak consumed increases with the level of the character), or can be traded at any Lak Trader for either chips or in-game currency, rupees. Lak Traders also provide the option to buy chips with rupees. However, it is more cost-efficient to obtain chips via Lak.<br /><br />There are three types of chips: Force Chips, Soul Chips and Luna Chips. These chips are items that characters can use to significantly affect a battle by increasing the amount of damage the target takes for a limited amount of time. They come in different ranks which allow different levels of users to use chips. Force Chips increase physical damage, Soul Chips increase magical damage, Luna Chips affect both physical and magical damage, but cost slightly more than Force and Soul chips.<br /><br />Items and Equipment<br />Equipment in the game have their own level and can level up by means of upgrading. Items that are able to do this display a section at the bottom of their status window showing the upgraded status effects, allowing players to know ahead of time the quality of the equipment. By visiting a Blacksmith, which is available in every town, players are able to upgrade their currently equipped (and upgradeable) equipment for a fee.<br /><br />In addition, combinations of equipment with the appropriate enchantment cubes can further increase its potency, and as is the case with weapons, even be reflected graphically through a glow effect. This is called 'enchanting' an item. A weak weapon or armour can be formed into a stronger item without having to sell it and buy a new one. This can also substantially increase both the item's in-game market value. The only non-equipment item that can be enchanted is the skill card.<br /><br />Items can also be improved by 'socketing' Soul Stones. This is done by visiting a Soulcrafter. Soul Stones are drop items that cannot be bought from any NPC. When socketed, they will increase one of the primary stats of one's character, if three conditions are met: the equipment with the Soul Stone is equipped, the Soul Stone's level is lower than or equals the character's level, and the Soul Power of the equipment is charged. Soul Power can be charged at the Soulcrafter of each town, and will be paid in Lak. Most equipment has two sockets for Soul Stones, however two-handed weapons have four.<br /><br />Pet System<br />One of Rappelz's defining features is its Pet system. Pets are creatures that adventure alongside players, aiding them in battle. They come in many varieties, and can be made to fulfill numerous roles. Additionally, pets have many of the properties of player characters: they gain levels alongside their owners, learn different skills, and can make use of equipment.<br /><br />Pets can be used by all races and classes: the only requirement being two skills, Summon Creature and Creature Control, which are available early in the game. The basic classes (Rogue, Guide and Stepper) and fighter classes have little emphasis on creatures through the availability of creature affecting skills while the others, especially summoner classes (Breeder, Spell Singer and Sorcerer) can affect creatures more greatly.<br /><br />Pets are attained by taming a pet while having the appropriate card for that pet in the player's inventory. The three most basic pet cards can be bought in any town, while other cards are only found from defeated monsters. Once tamed, pets can be summoned and banished at will by their owners.<br /><br />Upon reaching a certain level, pets can "evolve" to a different type. A pet evolves twice during its lifetime. Additionally, pets can learn skills at higher levels that allow them to be used as equipment, augmenting their owner's power. There is also a feature known as "overbreeding" which requires a somewhat longer time to achieve. Overbreeding grants pets more job points and stats than non-overbred pets. Overbreeding begins after a pet can evolve but not allowing the city tamer to evolve it. Generally if a pet is not Overbred, it is considered worthless to players wishing to buy a pet.<br /><br />Current Pets<br />The <a class="external text" href="http://rappelz.gpotato.com/downloads/RappelzReferenceGuide-v095.pdf" rel="nofollow">Rappelz Reference Guide</a> lists the pets in order of taming chance, using tiers. As of Epic 4, pets from tiers 1 through 3 are considered Basic, and tier 4 pets are considered Rare. Pet cards for pets from tier 1 can be purchased from NPCs, pet cards for tiers 2 through 4 are drop-only items (though sometimes they do appear in the Cash Shop as bonus items on special packages). tier 1, 2 and 3 are all listed as "basic" on their pet cards, however different drop rates and tame rates may put them into different tiers as shown below. Each pet has a specific 'Unity' which is a toggle self-buff for itself and its owner. The rarer the pet, the better its unity.<br /><br />Tier 1 (Basic):<br />Pantera: A muscular tiger creature.

They were the Deva who represented the Light and the Asura who represented the Darkness. With this, there was a period of peace and stability in the world.<br />As the ages passed by, there was one among the Gaia who called herself "The Witch". Over time, she grew in tremendous power and with a ruthless ambition, rallied the people of Gaia to rebel against the world.<br /><br />Not all the people of Gaia heeded this call, however, and the world was thrown into chaos. It was only through the combined efforts of the three races of Deva, Asura, and Gaia that "The Witch" was finally captured and burnt alive. It was a victorious outcome of a unity between the three races.<br /><br />Now at the present time, the three races continue to co-exist with each other in the world of Rappelz but dark rumors have surfaced about the second coming of "The Witch" and the return of her terrible forces. The backstory plays a substantial role in the game itself.manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-58669540451972403582009-09-24T10:01:00.000-07:002009-09-24T10:04:11.227-07:00Glorious History of RapplezThe Open Beta version of Rappelz launched on October 2, 2006,[25] with two separate servers available: "Tortus" , the normal PvE server, and "Pantera", the more PvP/PK-oriented server. Those who had previously downloaded the Closed Beta version of Rappelz were not required to re-download the Rappelz client to play in Open Beta; however, extensive automatic patching was done by the client before Closed Beta players could enter Open Beta.<br /><br />Closed Beta ended on September 26, 2006. Closed-beta characters were deleted at the beginning of Open Beta; however, characters created during Open Beta were not deleted prior to the game's release.

Atleast that is what mom always told us. The internet has given us all an advantage to getting free stuff, free samples, online coupons, free catalogs, and free magazines. All over the web you see websites with promotions, coupon codes, and other things claiming to give you "free" things. While sometimes these are honest offers, other times they are not so honest. The best way to tell if the free stuff you are getting is legit is to make sure that it does not ask you for any payment information. If the website wants your credit card or other billing information do not do it. It might not charge anything up front but later on may surprise you.</p><p>Things You'll Need:<br />Internet<br /></p><p>Step 1<br />Some websites that offer great links to free stuff are:<br /><br />www.totallyfreestuff.com<br />www.freestuff.com<br />www.thefreesite.com<br />www.freestufftimes.com<br />www.sweetfreestuff.com<br />www.freakyfreddies.com<br />www.justfreestuff.com<br /><br />These websites offer free stuff such as free samples, free magazines including free trials and full subscriptions, free catalogs, t-shirts, mouse pads, stickers, online coupons, and much more.<br /></p><p>Step 2<br /><br />If you have a teen who might be interested in getting some cool free stuff you might want them to check out www.teenfreeway.com but make sure you supervise which offers they are signing up for. Some of the offers here do require that you purchase something, while others are 100% free such as free magazines, cosmetic samples, and free catalogs.<br /></p><p>Step 3<br /><br />There is also www.freecycle.org which is an organization that is divided into seperate sections based on location. You are more than likely to find one in your area. This website is basically like a forum or group in which members post what they are giving away such as furniture, baby clothes, law mowers, coupons, etc. The really cool part is that if you are in need of something but your low on cash you can post a wanted ad and will most likely find someone who has what you are looking for and are willing to give it to you - for free! This free stuff is the best free stuff.<br /></p><p>Step 4<br /><br />Other than what I have mentioned above you can also get free stuff in the department stores with nice online coupons that you can get from the internet. Some people have become so involved in coupon hunting that it is a big part of their life. They have a proven organized method of using online coupons to save money each and every month up to hundreds of dollars.<br /><br />Here are a few links to some great websites where you can find amazing online coupons that you can print right from home. Most stores accept printed coupons. When in doubt just go to Wal-Mart, that's where I always use mine.<br /><br />www.wow-coupons.com<br />www.coolsavings.com<br />www.hotcouponworld.com (My personal favorite.)<br /></p><p>Step 5<br /><br />When left with the question as to why use online coupons, why get free stuff, why take offers, there is only one answer. Why not. Free stuff is the best stuff and I may have developed an addiction myself, but I guarantee this one is healthy for you, your family, and your pocket book.<br /></p>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-54436401869889459072009-09-14T23:03:00.000-07:002009-09-14T23:05:31.309-07:00Types of Internet Communities<p>The Internet is the fastest way to reconnect with old friends, learn about new media trends, communicate with multiple people at one time, and keep abreast of current events. Internet communities are engaging virtual spaces that assist you with finding out information about people, places, and things. You are able to speak freely and openly about things that are on your mind.</p><p><strong>Joining</strong><br />Social networking communities allow you to link up with old and new friends, see photos of them online, and meet new people. Many social networking sites have a search engine that allows you to find people by name, email address, location, and schools they have attended. Generally you will need to request the person as a friend. Sites such as MySpace and Facebook are very popular social networking communities.<br /></p><p><strong>Expression</strong><br />Blogs are used to express a writer's political and personal views, as well as display a person's creativity through artwork, photography, written words, and video. Blogs are also used as online diaries. Writers also may critique restaurants, retail stores and travel destinations.<br /></p><p><strong>Dating</strong><br />Dating sites are used to match people with a prospective mate. Websites such as eHarmony, ask you to register and fill out a detailed questionnaire to help match members with the same interests. The site also offers member testimonials for readers.<br /></p><p><strong>Games</strong><br />Online gaming communities are very popular. Community members share tips on how to master video games, learn about game developers and products, improve gaming skills, and update each other on the latest games, animation, and highlights. Some gaming communities offer the inside scoop on DVD movie and music releases.<br /></p><p><strong>Business</strong><br />Professional networking sites and communities are designed to help you meet serious professionals with your same interests. You can research a person's work history, resume and organization affiliations. Oftentimes, community members list their educational background, and you can network with alumni of your college or university. Members of this community may advance in their careers by inquiring about new job opportunities.<br /></p><p><strong>Forums</strong><br />Message boards, also known as online forums or discussion sites are popular places to find information needed to make decisions on things such as purchasing electronics and fixing technical problems on your computer. Users also use forums to discuss current events or find support in reaching a common goal. Message boards are also a helpful tool when researching health related issues.<br /></p>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-69912974532891211132009-09-14T23:00:00.000-07:002009-09-14T23:02:39.477-07:00How to Beat Any Online Game<p>We've played them before. There's no denying it. But have we all won, in a sense, countless times that it gets boring to keep going? I think not, and that's why I'm giving you a very basic instruction on how to beat any online game.</p><p><br />Things You'll Need:<br />A relatively fast Internet connection<br /></p><p>Step 1<br /><br />Beating an online game requires you to know strategy, and strategy can only be obtained by watching the pros play and practicing. But some basic strategies in online games, especially in an online multiplayer flashgame, is to know the strengths of your arsenal and the weaknesses of you and your opponents.<br /></p><p>Step 2<br /><br />Figure out a loophole in the game. Is there a really easy way to get kills or points quickly? Figure that out and then you'll pretty much get the game underway right away!<br /></p><p>Step 3<br /><br />Use common sense. Let's suppose an opponent was waiting at the corner just waiting to bite, destroy, or demolish your life. Just move away, dude. It's really much easier when you DON't be really stupid.<br /></p><p>Step 4<br /><br />On online paid games such as the Call of Duty series, the online multiplayer game is very fast-paced, very exciting to not only watch but be a part of. There are many pros and experienced players who know the map inside out. Know your map first of all, know your ways out, and know your ways in.<br /></p><p>Step 5<br /><br />Obstacles are the essence of any online game. An obstacle may be time, many or very experienced opponents, or any factors that could cause you to lose focus. In a fast-paced timed optical illusion challenge that I had recently played, you had to multitask, paying attention to the swirling colors while keeping track of time. The objective is to get the highest number of point while in a timeframe, so don't lose track of your time, or time will be used against you by others!<br /></p><p>Step 6<br /><br />Practice, practice, practice. There's no use reading through all of this and still not getting what it means to make a chain reaction of wins. It's practice that what really makes a player at any game good and able to defeat others. It's the experience and knowledge of the different weapons and strategies in your arsenal of skills that makes a pro what he/she is. Hope this helped!<br /></p>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-56895035461542315362009-09-14T05:23:00.000-07:002009-09-14T05:37:55.647-07:00How to Avoid Unintentional Plagiarism<table height="60" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="468" border="0"><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Most people think of plagiarism as a writer blatantly stealing the work of another author and attempting to pass that work off as his or her own. The fact of the matter is that there may come at time when you plagiarize without even being aware that you're doing it. This actually happens more than you may think because of published work on the internet. There are steps you can take to ensure that you don't copy somebody else's work. Here is how to avoid unintentional plagiarism.</span> <p></p><p><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 1<br />Write about what you know. This will allow you to work without having to do research, thus keeping all of the information you know about the certain subject your own thoughts. Try to add any personal experiences to a piece that you are working on whenever possible. Doing so enables you to write in your words, thus avoiding any type of plagiarism.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 2<br />Take some time between reading on a subject and writing about it. Plenty of people accidentally plagiarize while paraphrasing because they are writing about a subject they read about only a few minutes before. Instead, read on that subject and then take a 30-minute break. This will allow you to take what you have read and turn it into your own thoughts.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 3<br />Rewrite twice after paraphrasing. This is exactly what it sounds like. After you've put a piece into your own words, write that section again using different words and thoughts. Repeat this step once more. Forcing yourself to twist words and sentence structure will help you to both avoid unintentional plagiarism as well as obtain a better grasp on that particular subject.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 4<br />Write as you talk whenever possible. Many people have a similar writing style but very few people, if any, talk the exact same way that you do. This doesn't necessarily mean “dumbing” your piece down. Pretend that you are talking about the subject that you are writing about with friends or colleagues. Imagine the words that you would use during that conversation and then put those words down on paper.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 5<br />Use quotes and cite sources. There may come a time when you're completely struggling to put a section of your paper or article into your own words. Instead of spending an hour on this, simply place the portion in quotes and make sure to give credit to the original author. Remember that it's better for an entire paragraph to be in quotations than for you to unintentionally (or intentionally) plagiarize.<br /></p></span><tbody><tr><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><br /></tr><p></p><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p></p></table>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-68357981200924120672009-09-14T01:21:00.001-07:002009-09-14T01:24:50.853-07:00How to Improve Adsense Earnings Without Increasing Traffic<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Are you tired of checking your AdSense earnings only to see that you've made just a few cents - or nothing at all?

More often than not it's the top left area of the page. Why? We read from left to right, top to bottom. Our minds are trained to start there. Because this is the case, content in the top left area of a page is perceived as more important than content in the lower right portion of a page. For ads, this (typically) corresponds to more clicks. If you don't want to place ads in the top left, make sure you place them in a prominent location on the page.

Do you want the ads to 1) stand out from the page or 2) appear to be part of your content? If getting clicks is your goal, the second option is usually better. Ads that stick out and look ugly are less likely to be clicked than ads that fit in nicely with the surrounding page. The ad setup page of Google's AdSense site allows you to customize the shape and color of your ads. Try to match your webpage's font and color. It probably won't be exact, but an approximation is better than hideous, contrasting colors on an otherwise great-looking site.</p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; ">Step<span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; font-family:inherit;font-size:21px;">3</span></div><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">VARY AD TYPES Google AdSense offers several ad types for websites: text, image, and link unit. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Image ads are great for getting attention. They stand out while looking good on the page. Text ads integrate well with text content on the page - i.e. inside of artcles. Link units usually perform best near a navigation menu or header. If the user doesn't find what he/she is looking for, perhaps one of the ads will appeal. Which type of ad you should choose depends on two things: - Where will the ad be placed? - What will be near the ad? In my experience, text ads work best when in/near text. Image ads are best in the header or on the sidebar. Link units are most profitable near menus and other links.</p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; ">Step<span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; font-family:inherit;font-size:21px;">4</span></div><span class="image" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font-family:inherit;font-size:13px;color:initial;"><a class="thickbox" href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5301829/BlogTop_Full.jpg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; color: rgb(3, 100, 164); "><img alt="" src="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5301829/BlogTop_Thumb.jpg" style="padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-top-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-right-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-left-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); float: left; " /></a></span><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">TRACK ADS AdSense provides the option to track ads via "channels." If used properly, channels can show you which ads are being clicked and which aren't. For example, my blog has two AdSense units at the top of the page. Each has its own channel. The 250x250 square on the left is assigned to a channel called "250Square" - and the 468x60 rectangle in the header is assigned to a channel called "HeaderAd." You may say, "That's great, but what's the point?" Let's consider a scenario for a moment: The 250x250 ad gets 3 clicks, and the 468x60 ad gets 2 clicks. Without channels, AdSense would show me that my ads got 5 clicks altogether. That's nice, but I have no idea which ads were clicked. With channels, I can not only see that my ads received 5 clicks. I can see *which* ads were clicked, how many views they got, etc. With this information, I can see which ads are performing well and which ads are not. If I know what's working and what isn't, I can use what works and lose what doesn't.</p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; ">Step<span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; font-family:inherit;font-size:21px;">5</span></div><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">INCREASE CONTENT KEYWORD DENSITY Google AdSense picks ads to display based on your content. If you want ads about a given topic to be displayed, you should use keywords about that topic. You know your visitors better than AdSense. So to make sure Google serves ads that you know will appeal to your audience, you may have to tweak your keywords a bit. For instance, if you want ads about iPods to show up, use the word "iPod" as many times as you reasonably can without keyword stuffing. Make sure you maintain readability, though. Your content needs to make sense and be readable to humans - not just search engines. Don't use your keyword so many times that your content quality suffers.</p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; ">Step<span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; font-family:inherit;font-size:21px;">6</span></div><span class="image" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font-family:inherit;font-size:13px;color:initial;"><a class="thickbox" href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5301829/contentad_Full.jpg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; color: rgb(3, 100, 164); "><img alt="" src="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5301829/contentad_Thumb.jpg" style="padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-top-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-right-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); border-left-color: rgb(221, 226, 230); float: left; " /></a></span><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">PLACE ADS INSIDE YOUR CONTENT Put banners and small ads inside your content. Your readers are going to be looking there anyway. As I stated earlier, text ads seem to perform better inside text content. However, there are cases in which this isn't true. It depends largely on 1) your keywords and 2) your target audience. So experiment a bit. Play around with the type of intra-content ads you use.</p></li></span></span></div>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-52496812655742129502009-09-14T01:20:00.000-07:002009-09-14T01:21:29.532-07:00How to promote your blog for free<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

You can publish them (for payment or shared advertising revenue) to several websites, or you can publish them yourself on a blog or website. When writing website reviews, there are several elements that should be included in the review, depending upon your audience.<br /><br />Your audience is your primary concern when writing a website review. If your audience is a group of webmasters, your review should be different than if you are writing for the general Internet user. Don’t take on more than you can handle. If you do not have the technical expertise or vocabulary to write a review for website developers, then don’t. Keep your reviews simple, for the more common Internet surfers. You can even create a template to include all of the elements you wish to include in every review.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div>manzoor_1984http://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853912651102380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005138747550177.post-26630478691967999212009-09-14T00:57:00.000-07:002009-09-14T01:02:12.792-07:00How to Deal With Depression After Losing a Job<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnGOmJ_sEQIyJQmOmyYwc6mbwGPf3kRGeSqfZVMlQtEEisiIN7ioWxTZTcW6NZGxFhXUTGsnHZ_dR7HFuVcwKwATuLBV1O49FW-0HkFw5TTeIwl-VXxywg106ZbngItMeFxGx6r_51nT1b/s1600-h/resume-writing-female-executive_Thumb.jpg"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It could happen as soon as you hear the words from your boss that you are losing your job.

If you can’t speak with a pro, a good venting session with a friend is always beneficial.</span></p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Step</span><span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; font-family:inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">2</span></span></div><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Get active.

Let the mixture dissolve the corrosion for a few minutes, and then lightly brush away the corrosion with a small brush. Follow with a clean water rinse. Some batteries need to be removed for a thorough cleaning; when reconnecting, they should be attached securely, with the positive cable hooked up first. If the battery is more than two years old, have it tested by a qualified mechanic for strength.</p></li><li style="padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; "><div class="stepBg" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; float: left; display: inline; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Georgia; color: rgb(223, 166, 65); width: 25px; text-align: center; ">Step<span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 21px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; height: 25px; width: 25px; background-image: url(http://i.ehow.com/ui/images/bg/circles.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; background-position: 0% -25px; ">5</span></div><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">Check the treads and pressure on your tires.
