			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sri Sailam is one of the Jyotirlinagam and scenic place to visit in Andhra Pradesh. This is situated in Nallamalai hills on the bank of river Krishna. Srisailam is about 250 Kms from Hyderabad.  You can take a 2 day Bus tour or drive using own or rental car. Here is how you can plan, if you are driving.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Start early from Hyderabad.  Start at around 6 AM. The trip should take approximately 6 hour including few short breaks. It would be advisable to take some food and water, as there is not much availability on the way.</li>
<li>You can make a stop at Dindi Dam.</li>
<li>You can make next stop at Srisailam Dam.</li>
<li>Next, stop at Sakshi Ganapati temple. It is said that Ganapati note down name of people visiting Srisailam here. Mallikarjuna and Brahmaramba temple is just few kilometres from here.</li>
<li>Go directly to the main temple and proceed to Darshan. It would be better to go there in afternoon as Morning/Evening tends to be heavily crowded.</li>
<li>Go to book your room. You can reserve in advance. Ganga sadan/Gowri Sadan are run by AP tourism. Proceed to Ganga Sadan for booking you room. This is good hotel for reasonable price, clean and well maintained</li>
<li>Take some rest and proceed to Patalganga. PatalaGanga is less than 1 km from temple. You can take approximately 500 steps to Patalganga or take Ropeway.</li>
<li>If you have time left, Goto Sikharan. You can see the beautiful view of the city from peak and a temple here.</li>
<li>If you have time left, you can goto Hatakeshwar temple while coming back.</li>
<li>Comeback to your lodge and take rest.</li>
<li>Next day early morning, you can again goto temple for Darshana. Mangala aarti starts at 6 AM.</li>
<li>After that, you can start your journey back.</li>
<li>You can Goto to Palidhara Pachdhara temple.  There is Adi Shankaracharya temple here and Palidhara and Panchadhara meets here. You have to take 146 steps to the temple. Honestly, there is nothing much to see here. You can also see Hatakeshwar temple which is hardly 1/2 km from here.</li>
<li>While coming back you can goto Uma Maheshwaram temple. You have to take a 12 km diversion.</li>
<li>You can also goto the Malella Theertham waterfall. You have to take 8 km muddy road and 200 steps to the fall. Waterfall is really beautiful.</li>
<li>Afterthat you can head back to Hyderabad</li>
</ul>
<p>You can convert it to a one day trip by heading back to Hyderabad direcly after taking Darshana. You can also add Sikharan. Start even earlier from Hyderabad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is how you can convert any Blogger Blog template to 3 column template.</p>
<p><strong>Increasing width of Blog</strong><br />
<span id="more-11"></span><br />
Change header width to 1000</p>
<p>#header {<br />
width: <span style="color: #000000;">1000</span>px;<br />
margin: 0 auto;<br />
background-color:$headerBgColor;<br />
border: 1px solid $headerBgColor;<br />
color: $headerTextColor;<br />
padding: 0;<br />
font: $headerFont;<br />
}</p>
<p><strong>Change content part to 1000</strong></p>
<p>#content-wrapper {<br />
width: 1000px;<br />
margin: 0 auto;<br />
padding: 0 0 15px;<br />
text-align: left;<br />
background-color: $mainBgColor;<br />
border: 1px solid $borderColor;<br />
border-top: 0;<br />
}</p>
<p><strong>Adding another sidebar to the left<br />
</strong><br />
Copy sidebar-wrapper to create newsidebar-wrapper. Look for sidebar-wrapper and paste following codes after sidebar-wrapper, Change to newsidebar-wrapper</p>
<p>#newsidebar-wrapper {<br />
margin-$endSide: 14px;<br />
width: 240px; float: $endSide;<br />
background-color: $mainBgColor;<br />
display: inline; /* fix for doubling margin in IE */<br />
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */<br />
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */<br />
}</p>
<p>&lt;div id=&#8217;newsidebar-wrapper&#8217;&gt;<br />
&lt;b:section class=&#8217;sidebar&#8217; id=&#8217;newsidebar&#8217; preferred=&#8217;yes&#8217;&gt;<br />
&lt;b:widget id=&#8217;BlogArchive1&#8242; locked=&#8217;false&#8217; title=&#8217;Blog Archive&#8217; type=&#8217;BlogArchive&#8217;/&gt;<br />
&lt;/b:section&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p>This will create 3 column template with 2 sidebars on the left side.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/">Vistaprint</a> is the best option, if you are looking for simple but professional business cards. They offer 250 business cards for free (shipping extra). However, if you are looking to put logo or image on business cards, try the next approach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Primus and Vonage are two major VOIP Phone Service Providers in Canada.  So if you are planning to decide between the two, here is the quick comparison.<span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p><strong>Call Quality –</strong> I have found Primus to be better in call quality. Though, there is only minor difference.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Price –</strong> Primus is better priced than Vonage.</p>
<ul>
<li>Primus unlimited plan costs 29.95$ whereas Vonage unlimited plan costs 39.99$.</li>
<li>There is no starting activation fee with Primus. Vonage charges 39.99$ for activation.</li>
<li>Vonage charges 19.99$ for shipping phone adapter/wireless gateway. Primus does not charge anything. Primus charges you 69.99$ for adapter. But they do give you 4$ a month off on your monthly bill, if you buy the adapter. Vonage offers good rebate on adapter.</li>
<li>Vonage charges 49.99$ disconnect fee if you cancel the service in less than 2 years.</li>
<li>There is one case where Vonage has advantage over Primus. 500 minute plan is priced at 19.99$. Primus has no comparative plan.<strong></strong><strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Customer Service –</strong> I found similar customer service. Both of them have poor and clueless customer service</p>
<p><strong>Customization and User Interface (UI) –</strong> This is one area where Vonage scores very high. They have wonderful website, faq section, online customization. Primus has good customization, but their UI is very bad. There is no good online guide, poor faqs section, bad online help. For example, I ordered online and most companies would show you a summary of your orders and what you are going to charged before you hit submit button. Don’t expect this from Primus. They simply take your order. After that you would expect that they send you a follow up email confirming your order with a way to check order status. Again, don’t expect any email. You just have to hope that your order is received and wait for your start-up package to arrive.. no status, no way to track. Primus ecommerce application is worst, I have ever seen. Vonage can easily win an award when it comes to ecommerce and UI.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Money Back Guarantee –</strong> Vonage offers 60 day money back guarantee (see their terms and condition). Primus has no such offer.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Promotions –</strong> Both have similar promotions. Like one month free. Free phone with Primus. Gift card with vonage.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Number transferability –</strong> In my personal experience Vonage had trouble transferring my number. Primus transferred my number without any problem. But I might be one off case.</p>
<p>In short, I personally prefer Primus for low monthly cost, low initial cost, no termination fee and better call quality. I just wish they improve their customer service and UI.</p>

<p>After following all the steps sometimes Google page creator does not point to your custom URL. If you have followed all the steps, try to disable page creator for some time (from apps for your domain control panel) and then enable again. It should work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are running a corporation that falls under CCPC (Canadian Controlled Private Corporation), you might be faced with the decision of leaving extra funds in the corporation and invest it or pay yourself salary and then invest it.<span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>First take a look the tax rate for CCPC and personal tax rates</p>
<p>There are good documents on KPMG website</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kpmg.ca/en/services/tax/documents/FPT_2006_07_CCPC.pdf">CCPC tax rates</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.kpmg.ca/en/services/tax/documents/PersTable2007.pdf">Personal tax rates and brackets</a></p>
<p>I am taking a simple example of an Alberta corporation (or a Alberta based federal corporation).</p>
<p>Corporate Profit before paying any salary &#8211; 100,000$<br />
You need 20,000$ and rest is disposable income (can be invested)<br />
Return on investment &#8211; 10%</p>
<p>Case1 &#8211; Pay everything as salary<br />
20000$ &#8211; tax (approximately)<br />
80000$ &#8211; In hand salary<br />
20000$ &#8211; Spending<br />
60000$ &#8211; Invested<br />
6000$ &#8211; Return before tax<br />
6000*0.26/2 = 780 &#8211; tax (marginal tax rate is 0.26 and 50% capital gain is taxed)<br />
6000 &#8211; 780 = 5220 &#8211; final return</p>
<p>Case2 &#8211; Pay minimum required in salary<br />
25,000 &#8211; salary<br />
75,000 &#8211; Corporate profit<br />
75000*0.161 = 12075 &#8211; tax (small business tax is 16.1%)<br />
75000 &#8211; 12075 = 62925 &#8211; Invested<br />
6292.5 &#8211; return before tax<br />
6292.5*458/2 = 1440 &#8211; tax<br />
6292.5 &#8211; 1440 = 4852.5 &#8211; final return<br />
This will be paid as salary and will reduce corporate tax.<br />
4852.5(0.26 &#8211; 0.16) = 4365.25 &#8211; final return</p>
<p>If you invest personally, your final return is higher.</p>
<p>However, this example is oversimplified. It assumes that the money will be invested at year end. Normally, money will be invested more frequently and much earlier. That would increase return in Case2. Bottom line is that there will be very little difference and you should consider factors like marginal tax rate, expected rate of return on investment and whether you need money for corporation or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many domain name registrars and it could be a challenge to choose.</p>
<p>First, decide if you have critical web hosting requirements. If you have webs hosting requirements, than you should first decide on web host. Some of the web host might provide with free domain registration (for example yahoo).<span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>See who are the market leaders. You would want to be sure that company you choose is reliable, stable and is going to be in the market. Check <a href="http://registrarstats.com/">http://registrarstats.com/</a>. As the stats shows, Godaddy.com is the clear winner.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s compare other companies in the list to see if there is a better provider.<br />
<strong>Enom.com</strong> &#8211; Pricing is similar to Godaddy. However, it charges huge setup fee. Advantage is free website creator is ads free (Not sure about this, any comments on this are welcome).<br />
<strong>Network Solutions</strong> &#8211; Cost is much higher than Godaddy.</p>
<p>Godaddy simply beats competitors in this market.</p>
<p>Features like email accounts etc are not important anymore as Google is providing free apps (email accounts, chat, calendar, docs, spreadsheet etc.) for custom domain and is far better than included with domain name. Google has also partnered with Enom and Godaddy to sell custom domain at 10USD/yr. The pricing is same as going directly with Godaddy. The advantage is that Google apps are already pre-configured to work with the custom domain you sign up for. One might prefer to go directly with Godaddy to get better control on account. You can also use Google page creator to create simple website. You can also use blogger.com to create a blog and point it to your custom domain, if blogger fits your needs.</p>
