First I bought a forum software from InstantAsp Forums for about $100. As the forum started growing the software started acting weired; sometimes its slow and sometimes fast, some images not showing up and last thing was no links was working. So posted a ticket for them to solve these issues. They told me their next version gonna solve the image problem. And they didn't even reply to the link problem; its been about 2 months now.

Why am I writing this? So nobody else get reaped off by these people.

Links from .gov and .edu sites are considered valuable by many webmasters. So how you find them?

Its actually very simple to find all the .gov or .edu sites. On Google/Yahoo you can type site:.gov and you will get the list of .gov sites.

If you type site:.gov blog you will get all the .gov blogs.

Here is an example that gives .gov sites http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ov&btnG=Search

A governor in northern Saudi Arabia has ordered authorities to punish men who flirt with women in public places by cutting their hair.

Prince Fahd bin Badr, governor of the northern al-Jof region, ordered police to carry out the punishment after seeing a group of men with long hair pestering female students as they left school in the northern al-Qurayat province, Al-Hayat newspaper said.

It said the prince told a gathering at his palace in the northern town of Skaka on Sunday he has instructed police to apply the punishment to all youths guilty of flirting, including "the sons of senior military and civil officials."

"The decision doesn't include men who spend their free time in public places without hurting anyone," the paper quoted the prince as saying.

Saudi Arabia has long imposed a strict Islamic lifestyle in which men and women are segregated in public. That lifestyle is enforced by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, a government body that runs the country's powerful religious police.

Its members patrol public places to make sure women are covered and not wearing make up, the sexes don't mingle, shops close five times a day for Muslim prayers and men go to the mosque and worship.

Many clergymen in this conservative Gulf country say men should not have long hair because Islam prohibits the sexes from emulating each other.

Sheik Mubarak al-Rushoud, head of the commission in al-Jof, told Al-Hayat the new punishment resulted from "the repeated pestering of women in souks and outside girls' schools."

He said Fahd has ordered that the punishment against the men "who emulate women" should be carried out at the scene of the infraction, according to the paper.

"The decision, however, doesn't include all men with long hair," al-Rushoud was quoted by Al-Hayat as saying.
