In order to remove all traces of Nandrolone from their urine in record time, the PCB has launched an incredible and impressive secret campaign. Adbul Razzaq, an important, yet replaceable member of the squad, conveniently fractured his knee just minutes before leaving for the Caribbean. In an interview, he appeared completely befuddled as to how it happened. Chloroform, anyone?
Meanwhile, the rest of the squad, including the reserves, and even a few spectators, have already pissed in cups and been cleared by some drug testing authority in Malaysia. Wasn’t the movie “Entrapment”, starring Sean Connery, filmed in Malaysia? Didn’t Connery play Bond for a while? Wasn’t “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” the worst film ever made? Exactly. That’s shady too.
Doctors in England will be making the world’s first (maybe 100th – who knows. First sounds better.) complete blood transfusion and muscle sieving procedure to remove the controversial nandrolone from [...]

This guy is nuts and he looks like a sheep farmer too!
Jacob Oram, who has a finger injury, has apparently been convinced by his medical staff or himself, that cutting his finger off actually IS the last resort for complete recovery. Here we go…
Soon after Oram suffered the injury, coaches had said he was likely to make a recovery in time for the World Cup in March but his recovery has been relatively slow and he now faces a race against time to be fit.
“We’ve got taping techniques and guards that fit into a batting glove, and I’m confident I’ll be fine,” said Oram.
“If it means cutting the finger off, if that’s the last resort, I’ll do that there’s no way I’m missing this.”
Hmm. Now if Michael Vaughan or Shoaib Akhtar would cut an injured appendage or ailing muscle off every time it got hurt, well then…Umm..nevermind. I don’t [...]

Adil Najam
Speaking at inaugural ceremony of the Bagh Ibne Qasim in Karachi, General Musharraf announced that one of the tallest buildings in the world is planned to be built in Karachi.
How tall, you ask? Well, the word from the top is all of 1947 feet. One assumes that this number is no coincidence. I guess there will be something special on the 14th floor and somehow August will also be commemorated.
According to the Daily Times (Feburary 28, 2007):
One of the tallest buildings of the world will be constructed in Karachi, President Pervez Musharraf told a ceremony in connection with the inauguration of Bagh Ibn-e-Qasim here on Tuesday night. The president referred to a project pertaining to a beach and island’s development, and said this would be a mega project of international standard. He said that land for the project would be reclaimed from the sea and added that the centre [...]

Clicking on most of the photos in this article will take you to their source websites and larger image sizes.
Pakistan’s Balochistan province is gifted with a diverse landscape. Among many geological wonders here, one big attraction is the presence of 18 mud volcanoes. Infact world’s largest and highest known mud volcano is located in Balochistan. The altitiude of highest mud volcano here is 300 ft. The mud volcanoes of Balochistan are not only located on the land but from time to time they appear as small temporary islands in the Arabian Sea also.
To reach the most famous group of these mud volcanoes, one has to travel west of Karachi on the Makran Coastal Highway (N10). The turnoff to the volcanoes is 38 km short of Hungol (also pronounced as Hingol) river. A 1×1 ft board here says ‘Sapt Post’. Get off the road at this sign and follow the [...]

Day Job Killer (DJK) was released earlier this month. Chances are you’ve already seen promotions for it and, assuming it appealed, have probably already purchased. Just in case it passed you by, this is my review:
This is an affiliate marketing book but not like one you’ve come across previously. It is not, in my opinion, suitable for newcomers.
Who Is It For?
You’ve probably been online a while, have some knowledge of affiliate marketing and pay per click advertising. Quite possibly, you’ve even made some sales but know that you could be doing more.
It contains some really sound advice with lots of subtle (and some not so subtle!) techniques that anyone can implement to increase their chance of success as an affiliate when using pay per click.
Usually, I try and ‘cover all bases’ when building AdWords campaigns and in DJK I’ve had my eyes opened to focusing on specific words and techniques that should be employed.
I have also tended to go for larger commission payouts (think $40+) and tended to ‘poo poo’ what I perceived as waste of time small percentage payouts on typical online purchases. No longer!
This book is light on pages (69) but strong on specifics. Hopefully you prefer this than the waffle some authors use to pad out books.
You will probably want to read some of the techniques at least a couple of times before implementing. The other phrase that I’ve seen banded about with regards DJK is that some of the techniques are ‘dirty’. I think this is for dramatic effect personally and much prefer the word ‘tactical’. Chapters such as ‘The Leveller’, ‘Campaign Nuking’ and ‘The UnderCutter’ only serve this ‘dark’ feel.
Don’t Buy If:
- You already own a really good book about Google AdWords, e.g. Marshall or Goodman, and either haven’t read or have read but haven’t implemented.
- If you’re still getting to grips with the basics of affiliate marketing, i.e. concepts, networks, programs etc., Have a look around Affiliates World, do a search online or invest in a general getting started guide. In short, this book is NOT an introduction to affiliate marketing.
- you’re anti the whole concept of paying for clicks. Using AdWords is core to the concepts covered.
- you have no experience of using Google AdWords. Learn the ropes first! Google AdWords guide.
So, with that said, could I recommend it? Yes, subject to my comments above. It’s refreshing to read a book that ‘cuts to the chase’ and has specific steps that you can actually go ahead and implement. There are a number of ideas within the book and I certainly wouldn’t suggest trying all at first but I believe that understanding and implementing just one (suggest ‘Direct Linking ‘X’) should alone reward you handsomely.
