ok so several days ago my windows vista system randomly crashed on me and is progressively getting worse. I do not have a virus or anything like that. Just usual old windows gets randomly corrupted files. it started off with windows mail saying that the main .exe file was corrupted within a few days i could logon to the system but could not open anything except windows mail, windows explorer. NOT INTERNET EXPLORER. I could open a few other core windows apps that come standard but everything else refused to run. so now I’m running ubuntu linux. At this point I can still access my windows partition

This website http://www.reviewranger.com is a total fake marketing hype website. This website claims ot offer honest reviews and is nothing more than a reassurance website loaded with affiliate links. The site owner is also deceptive with cloaking his click bank links.

This website is just an affiliate site. There descriptions are misleading and neglect actual facts.

Here’s my review of their review of: Xenadrine Ephedrine Free (Ephedra Free)

The only real active weight loss ingredient in this product is caffeine.

Xenadrine Ephedrine Free (Ephedra Free) is just another hype product that uses excessive amounts of caffeine to deliver performance. All there “great” ingredients and proprietary formula is a load of garbage.

Oh yeah, by the way www.bodybuildingforyou.com is cloaking their external referral links with forwarders to hide them from the user.

Just look at their fake review {URL @ bottom}. You’ll notice how many times caffeine is mentioned throughout the ingredients but never mentioned in the review… They seem to highlight anti-oxidents which has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss. Oh, it has amino acids too! That’s nice, but once again that has NOTHING WHAT SO EVER to do with weight loss.

Let’s take a closer look at the main ingredients:

green tea >> source of caffeine
yerba mate >> source of caffeine

The Other ingredients… not doing much for weight loss. In conclusion this is just another vitamin pill loaded with caffeine.

product score: 0/10

So I stumbled upon this great website Sneaker News, they have tons of reviews on every shoe imaginable including photos comments release dates and tons more. I’m thiking about getting the retro 22 sneakers that are on the page of air jordan release dates over at sneaker news. A bit pricy I think but they are pretty awsome. Overall I like this sites designe though clean cut nice colors and tons of quality information for making an educated sneaker purchase. Yes, I do work for this company but this article isn’t biased. see it for yourself. They have extremley little advertising and it’s all relevant so who cares… Me of all people actually clicked some ads they were so catchy and they actually bring you to other good sites unlike many of the low quality ads out there. Thimbs of job to these guys. Oh and by the way they just posted a new kick up on their site today. Not to bad looking but, i’m not sure if i like the purple. I generally like white, blue, or black sneakers with varing shades and or combinations of these colors or even sometimes a solid white pair.

By the way: although i do consulting work for the company via. Drucker Media I did not design the site so don’t get the wrong idea. Once again if your interested in hot shews check it out, other wise go surf the internet somewhere else.

Peace All,

I just used GoFTP for the first time. It messed up and erased an entire website that I’ve been working on.

Hi all,

I Just donated blood for (not sure what number)  time it is, lost count. And I decided “hey, I haven’t blogged in a while, so… Why not blog about giving blood.”

Here’s a few reasons why you should

- Help save up to 3 lives. *

- To lose weight (approx 1.1lb) **

- It’s the “right” thing to do. ***

- Feel better about your self

-

* Your blood may or may not be separated into three parts and diversified to who needs it.

** Blood weighs approximately 1.1LB per 1 (one) liquid Pint

*** Depending on your moral values.

Ok, so lil wayne mentioned his “Marc Jacob Gogles” so i decided to checkout Marc Jacob’s website to see if they looked cool.

I can’t believe it… just about 100% of Marc Jacob’s Items for guys look like their for homosexuals or metrosexuals. I was utterly disgusted. He made this purple dress / skirt looking thing and a man was whereing it. What do they think at that company? UGLY = STYLE…?

Who would wear that crap?  NOT ME, MY FRIENDS, OR MY FAMILY! That’s for sure!

Oh and the web design. WOW it absoultely SUX. I checked out their website design company and there website sucked too. They should honestly hire a company of Quality like Drucker Media (www.druckermedia.com) Yes I work for them but they actually make awsome looking sites. You can verify my claim for yourself.

As for www.markjacobs.com  it’s landing page looks awful.  They have some retarded streaming video in the background and Not to mention they don’t even have a shopping cart. The menus are annoying and the pages are overblown stretching all over the screen. It looks like an atom bomb hit their website in the face and then had its remains impaled by an oncoming train.

Website rating: -100,000,00 out of 10 ( 10 being the best) Yes it’s that bad.

I just looked at his female models and almost got sick. Most of those girls are so white that they would put kasper the ghost to shame. They aren’t even attractive and their style sucks too.

Marc Jacob you need to go back to fashion school. I’m not sure  what freaks are giving you awards but they are probably just as horrable of a designer as you are. Oh and maybe for you ‘09 collection you can come out with something that doesn’t make people want to vommit

[/rant]

PS. Lil Wayne. I sincerly hope this isn’t the Marc Jacob you were talking about in your song and I really hope you don’t where his stuff!

OK, in this article I’m going to help all of you web masters out there who desperately need to consolidate your bandwidth and server resources. Although generally simple, the techniques I’m going to share with you can reduce bandwidth usage by approximately 50% or more in some cases.

1) Use CSS / PHP / HTML Compression. Doing a simple thing like, eliminating white space and removing comments can greatly reduce your servers load. Also it can speed up page load times for your user’s internet browsers. This has both a positive effect for Users and Search Engines as long page loads will cause bots to hang and not index your page.

Here’s 3 websites to help you get started:

• http://compressor.ebiene.de/   ==>   CSS Compression
• Google the rest as needed.

2) Use CSS code instead of background images and or replace image mouse over’s with CSS code. In almost all cases CSS loads faster than images.

3) Reduce Flash Elements that are not needed or just ad to clutter

4) Encourage users to use the Google Chrome browser as it can process Java Script significantly faster than almost all other modern internet browsers. *This may change in the future.

5) Reduce the number of images your site uses

6) Run your images through an image optimize program. I recommend you use Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, or if you don’t want to spend money look around online and you will find an abundance of free tools as well as online optimizers.

7) Limit Search Engine Crawling using Google Web Master Tools

Use CSS shorthand (look it up, sorry.)

9) Block Visitors from unwanted countries or users that overview your site. (Use .htaccess or other method)

10) Consider revising how you structured your code.

11) Use load balancing techniques such as loading images, css, or html from other hosting accounts than your primary one. More expensive initially but could help reduce bandwidth overages by reducing the bandwidth per server amount. Optionally you can do something similar or exactly too the following:

High speed server ==> File Downloads / Host Flash Content / Images / Video

Medium speed Server ==> Host html / images

Low speed server ==> CSS code

Of course this is just for example and can be configured anyway you like it.

To your success,

– Gary Pollock

Today I decided to help the Folding at Home community by donating some of my processor’s computing power. This was done by installing a small application onto my computer which connects me to the Folding at Home primary servers and sends data packets back and forth.

FACTS NOT FICTION

This is right from the official 5 hour energy website

source: http://www.5hourenergy.com/ingredients.asp#Caffeine

Caffeine

Provides a boost of energy and feeling of heightened alertness. Caffeine also facilitates the rapid absorption of nutrients, including B-vitamins. 5-Hour Energy contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. Limit caffeine products to avoid nervousness, sleeplessness, and occasional rapid heartbeat.

Unlike energy drinks, umm. I think not they just deny caffeine and “forget” to label it on their product. This is what gives you the energy nothing else in their, your just drinking straight up caffine loaded with fillers in a tiny bottle. AS for the high % of b-vitamins that does not matter. Anything over 100% of your Daily Value is purged by the body to prevent overloading. [PS: Read their warnings - same as energy drinks]

…But what about their Decaf – 5 hour energy. Still a lie. It just uses another neurotropic-stimulate [choline] and still has 6mg of caffeine. Which, although that’s barely any for the average person it will still give sensitive people a buzz because, of their intolerance to caffeine.

All in all this product is FAKE / Garbage / BS and full of clever marketing deception and blatant ignorance.

Test it for yourself: read the ingredients of an energy drink and compare to the ingredients listed on the 5 hour energy website. They are almost 100% the same. As for their “no guarana” who cares guarana is just a plant that has caffeine in it. It’s only labeled on energy drinks separately from the caffeine because if you add the milligrams of Guarana to the caffeine it is much higher so by listing them separately they attempt to trick the consumer into thinking there is significantly less caffeine in their product. That’s why you can have some energy drinks with less caffeine combined with Guarana and having another drink with more caffeine will be less of a buzz. The reason is because the combined caffeine + Guarana is much more potent.
