Dog Breed & Breeder Resource Site

If you know me personally, you will know that I love dogs. And I have friends who chided me many times, “You and your dogs!”

Today, I came to this website with dog breed and breeder information. Some people are not agreeable to dog breeding but I think that as long as the breeder follow regulations strictly, it should be fine.

I checked out the page on Brittany, a Spaniel breed and promptly fell in love with the puppy gracing the page.

Spaniels are very friendly and smart dogs and they have many more characteristics that you can check out from the page on Breeder Retriever. On this site, apart from breed information, you can also access the forum to view more photos, discuss on this specific breed with other dog lovers, find a breeder for Brittany and buy books on Brittany for further reading.

I think that Breeder Retriever is a great resource site that gives us an all-in-one information pack on everything that has to do with any dog breed.

Before buying a dog you may want to read about the breed here first to know for sure that the dog with these typical characteristics is what you are looking for.

New: NameCheap Hosting

You may not know it yet, but I bought all my domain names from NameCheap and when I use their codes, I get discounts too. Although the discount is not great, when I renew my domains for five years, yes, I get a big savings from there.

Last evening, I received the first NameCheap newsletter and the good news is that they have a new arm to their business: HOSTING.

If you are a customer of NameCheap, you would know that they have one of the lowest domain name rates. I did my homework before buying them 😀

Anyway, I am happy to note that NameCheap hosting is also cheap. It is too bad that I already paid for my hosting from a guy in Malaysia for one year starting 1st September, 2007.

Bah! I would have gone with NameCheap if I have yet to pay for my hosting. And the customer service of this fellow is LOUSY!

Score With Professionally Written Dissertation

A friend asked me if I know of companies that offer dissertation writing services. I told him that I know of a website called YourDissertation.com which provides writing services from school level right up to PhD level for British and American students.

I went to check their order form and there are many options for you to select from for any of your dissertation topics. The price increases as you place your requirements like type of dissertation, study level, citation style, number of pages and the time frame you allow YourDissertation.com to come up with a professionally written dissertation.

If you buy such a service, it is important to check if it comes with a plagiarism report and if you are allowed to make unlimited times of amendments. You may want to get these for free like what YourDissertation.com is offering.

Proposal To “Mary”

If you have a WordPress powered blog and if you dig your Spam Comment folder like I have to, you would probably have received numerous “comments” about a website called “Proposal To Mary”. I am not going to link to the site in case somebody mistaken it as a paid link. Perhaps you could Google it if you are interested but I am not sure if it is indexed yet because it is new without much content.

Anyway, this website was set up by a German man who met his girlfriend “Mary” during a holiday. From what I understand, he has now moved to America to be with her and he wants to propose to her but does not want to do it directly.

What he wants to do is to ask internet users to help him spam spread the word to as many people as possible hoping that it will reach “Mary”.

We don’t know the real name of “Mary” because he would like to protect her privacy PLUS if her name is disclosed then someone who knows her would straightaway email the proposal to her and the game would be over.

I think that this is a very romantic gesture BUT what happens if the proposal does not ever reach her? The internet could be too huge or it could be very small. Just like in real life, if you want to find somebody, you never can but you will keep bumping into people whom you would like to avoid!

Get User Reviews From Trusted Places

Trusted Places is a social website where people hang out. My cousin, Jasmine, told me that when she first moved to London, a colleague told her that this is the place to check out if she would like to get the most out of her money.

On Trusted Places, real people share and rate their favorite London bars and pubs, restaurants and other places that people go to eat, drink and hang out, places to shop or catch a show and just about anything that a community member feels worthy of a mention either in a positive or negative light. With such information readily available online, locals would know which places to frequent and which to avoid.

Jasmine told me that based on these user reviews, she now only frequent places that come with high rating from members of Trusted Places. I think this is a wonderful concept as it pushes commercial places to offer only the best services or lose the business!

The Domino Effect

Since the Google Page Rank earlier this month when most websites and blogs have been demoted, including my own blog, I noticed that many bloggers have been evaluating where they have “gone wrong” to deserve a lower ranking. Some people I know have lost one rank but some got it worse by losing THREE rankings.

Now, what I see is that many such affect bloggers have started to remove things from their blogs that they deemed have caused this demotion like leaking of link juice from blog rolls and such.

By doing so, they are causing a domino effect on the rest of the blogs that they have been linking to, most of them reciprocal links.

Can you imagine that if I remove the list of blogs on my sidebar, I would be turning these into ONE SIDED link to my site when it was a reciprocal link. This mean that my own blog would have an advantage over other blogs in the next Google Page Rank update when those who are still linking to me would have lost a link to their site (from me because I removed them).

I think that if Google has demoted your site, there is no need to punish all the innocent people that have been sharing their link juice with you. And yes, I noticed that some bloggers have already removed ME from their blog roll. This would cause my link weight to drop.

Let’s see what I should do… HHMMMmm

Brochure Printing Online

I saw supposed to help my friend look for cheap Brochure Printing and I suggested that he does it online. He is going to start his little business selling mobile phones and accessories in a local mall and we have asked around local printers and their prices are exorbitant!!

I told my friend that what he needs is a printer who could deliver his brochures in a timely manner, cheap, reliable and of good standard and quality. He agrees and it is very important to be able to get everything ready for his launch! I am very excited about it and it isn’t even my own business! Haha 😀 But it is a very important occasion so everything has to be “perfect”!

Anyway, since it is his first launch, he would surely need high quality brochures to give out and introduce people to his new store. A mutual friend recommends 4 color Brochure Printing from PS Print. Well, we don’t know much about printing brochures but this friend said that PS Print has reasonable prices as we could double check with the online instant quote.

My friend said that if he likes the quality of the brochures, he would be ordering more products from PSPrint.com! I believe that PS Print will not let him down!
