If you ever want to look up an international dialing code, stop searching in Google and look up this web site calling Codes.

You will find a listing of country and city dialing codes for all of the countries in the world including information on how to dial an international call to or from each country.

This valued added information about how to dial an international telephone number is very useful for many. I remember my dilemma that I faced so many times in the past when presented with just the country code and the telephone number.

This is very handy especially when not all countries have city dialing codes, that too small countries, so it is not always necessary to include a city code.

The impure gold chain.

When my son completed his higher secondary examinations in 2004, I presented him a gold chain. It weighed 8 grams which we call as one sovereign in India.

About 10 days ago, he showed me the chain which had gone pretty dark having lost all its sheen. I immediately suspected its purity and so took it to our jeweler. After careful inspection, he told me that the gold was of inferior quality with less purity.

However he offered to buy it at current value and paid me after deducting for impurities and labor charges. I have lost more than one gram of gold.

I was severely admonished for having purchased from a local dealer and henceforth I was to approach only authentic and reputed gold bullion specialist like Monex, the most trusted name in U.S.

Monex is Americans’ dependable storehouse for buying precious metals. Monex sells gold, silver and platinum in all forms such as coins, bars and ingots. They also offer to store it for their customers at an independent bank or depository. This is a thoughtful service by Monex and we can never have the concern of safe guarding our assets.

Their new look website is quite impressive.

Bloggers meet the advertisers directly.

Well, Pay Per Post, popularly known as PPP has come out with yet another surprise which is fantastic news for bloggers.

Pay Per Post Direct is a master move in my opinion. I have been reading enthusiastic review from bloggers across the blogosphere about this announcement. Competitors of PPP must be wondering what will be the next move of PPP.

Registered bloggers of PPP can now directly sell their blog space for sponsored post by inserting the ‘Pay Per Post Direct’ badge on their blogs.

What it means:

For example I have been blogging for several internet marketing companies who pay me a fixed amount to write a blog post about their customers’ products or services. I am paid this fixed amount after they retain a portion of what they charge their customers.

With PPP Direct, I can now mention a certain amount for each blog post and if the customers of PPP like my blogging skill, blog PR, they will directly offer to pay me and all I need to pay to PPP for their service is only 10% of what I get paid from my sponsors.

In a similar situation, I used to pay 35 to 50% to my other internet marketing companies for whom I work.

“With PayPerPost Direct you can reach out to advertisers, even those not currently in the PPP network, and advertise your own blogs and content.” This is really favorable news to pro bloggers who are blogging for money and fame.

What is the procedure?

Log in to your PPP account, get the HTML code for PPP Direct, and place it in your blog. After that, if a sponsor is willing to buy a blog post from you, you'll get an email with the opportunity details and offer amount and can then log into PayPerPost.com to actually negotiate terms with the advertiser to get the very best deal for you both.

PPP Direct-a new market place for pro bloggers.

To explain a bit more about this service, "zimoz is a format free creation tool that would be super easy to use for everyone to express stories, issues and trivia. It can be used as an alternative to text emails, one can even call it as a blog."

Express yourself with a picture, share and interact.

Don’t take the hacker easy.

It is prudent sometimes to give your best attention to bad elements. And in the Internet world, the bad (worst?) elements are hackers of course. To tackle then the IT industry is spending millions of dollars in software development and man power employment.

Forget about the frequent problems of virus infections faced by individuals like you and I and think about large conglomerates that manage huge database.

“Security is a top priority for enterprise customers,” said Michelle Weiss, vice president of marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. Taking cue, Symark Software has announced their PowerBroker and PowerPassword to support New HP Integrity Servers and the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating System.

It is not always necessary that hackers are outsiders. Internal security breach is quite common. Very aptly named Privileged Access, the product PowerBroker protects the root account—the most targeted administrative account—from both external and internal threat and PowerPassword-UME enables IT managers to centrally deploy, modify and delete individual UNIX and Linux user accounts.

“Because enterprises around the world run mission-critical financial, human resources and other applications on UNIX and Linux systems, it is vital that they have a comprehensive access control mechanism in place,” said Bob Farber, COO of Symark Software.

Other news agencies such as Linux world and nextechnews that monitor the software development concerning security solutions have widely covered these PowerBroker and PowerPassword products of Symark.

Free ebook on social bookmarking.

My list of social bookmarking websites has grown to over 120 as of today.

But have I made use of it? No to be frank.

While I fully realize the role of social bookmarking sites to increase link popularity, I don't agree with the general view that it will drive thousands of targeted visitors because everyone is using them to list their websites or blogs but no one is using them to look for information.

Just tell me, how many times you see daily a post or a message announcing Digg exchange or technorati favorite exchange? Even if you oblige, do you really care to browse through the favorites you have added to your account?

Here is a free ebook on social bookmarking techniques which promises you that you can make money too by giving this ebook away.

I have requested for it and post here what it contains.

But investors have to wield caution before investing.

I feel venture capital is a good arena that offers less risky investment. Actually, venture capital is a type of private equity capital typically provided by professionals like Venpar, who are backed by outside investors like you and me.

Always, Venture Alliance Partners (Venpar) focus on the venture capital marketplace, helping investors and entrepreneurs an opportunity to get private placement of equity in high growth IT sector.

Calling all residents of Chicago.

There is a grand auction going on for used cars in your city. The staring bid is only $200.

Like me, you must also act smart by purchasing a used car from an auction house.

Actually, you won’t be losing anything by opting for a second hand car that might have run only for a few thousand miles. Auction houses take utmost care about the condition of the vehicles before they allow it to park in their garage for future auctioning.

Find a wide range of vehicles like imported cars, SUVs and luxury cars in the website of North Shore Auto Auction. Find any car of your choice using their search facility where you can search by the make of the car.

Car owners looking to dispose their present cars can visit Chicago public auto auctions, where they are sure to find the best bid for their vehicles.

Do you know that so far I never bought a new car? I always buy used cars that are in very good condition, keep it for a year or so and again dispose it off and go in for another user car.

Their web site is easy to navigate and the search results are produced almost instantly.

My date with Mickey.

Finally, I have decided to visit the legendary Mickey and Donald. There is no going back on my decision this time. I have given in many times to the whims of my husband for hills.

For a change let me vacation on the land of fun.

As soon as the news of my decision got out, my neighbors’ and relatives’ unsolicited suggestions, tips and advises started pouring in, even when I am in the kitchen, about what to see and what not to miss etc.

I was only lending half ears when they picked up a valuable advice; that I must purchase Disney World Tickets -admission tickets for various rides and shows at the theme park at discounted rates well in advance.

I was asked to pay a visit to Orlandofuntickets.com which is the ultimate source for discount tickets for Disney World and all Orlando theme parks, dinner shows and attractions.

If I dare not heed it, I am warned to spend hell of a lot of extra US$.

But what about all those dinner shows including Arabian Nights-do they sell discounted tickets for that also? “You bet”, was the fast reply.

Well, so be it Orlando! I will be your guest at last with the help of Orlandofuntickets.com. After all, they know you better than anyone else!
