Share, Rate And Find The Best Blog Posts

Posted by admin on September 11, 2007

Crispyblogposts.com is the newest social bookmarking site strictly for blogs, where users submit and rate blog posts from around the web. The site was started out as a one-man project by Gabor Imre Farkas from Hungary, but some people gave significant help later on.The lightbox effect on the page is based on Chris Campbell’s script. We’re proudly using Mark James’ beautiful (and best of all, free) Silk icon set.

Crispyblogposts.com lets you share, rate and find the best blog posts around. If you’d like to submit a blog post, select a fitting channel, then click on the appropriate link on its page

It’s very simple: channels with a few blog posts are small, and the ones that have many posts are big. Basically, font size represents how many blog posts a channel has so far.

You can rate blog posts on the site to help others identify the best posts. If you like a particular post, click on the “Crispy!” link under it. However, if you think that a post is of poor quality, or spam, you can vote “Soggy!” to decrease its points.

Interesting Factoids about Sleep

Posted by admin on September 7, 2007

~ Sleep deprivation can kill you.

~ Waking you up in the middle of REM (Rapid Eye Movement or deep sleep) will make you tired all day, even if you went back to sleep and got a total of 8 hours. If you are awakened when you are not in REM sleep, you are not as affected by the interruption.

~ Light stops the production of melatonin, which helps you sleep. Even if you keep your head covered, and any part of your body is exposed to light, you lose the benefits that melatonin affords your body in helping you regenerate.

sleep

~ Your brain and body are very busy while you sleep. Cells are repaired, ‘tanks’ are refilled (endorphin, adrenal, thyroid, etc.) Your brain takes the millions of bytes and bits of information you collected during the day and puts them in order. It busily arranges data, dumps data you don’t need, and helps strengthen your memory. Get fewer than 6 hours of sleep and these processes don’t function properly.

Top 12 Dating Tips for First Dates

Posted by admin on September 6, 2007

1-K.I.S.S. This acronym translates to “Keep It Simple, Sunshine” (Ok, I substituted the word “sunshine” for the rude word it really uses.) First dates are nerve-wracking events which surely must have been invented by the same person who invented ancient torture devices such
as the rack and the iron maiden. To help both parties relax, keep the date plans simple. Keep the dress code casual and keep the setting relaxed. Save “impressive” for a time when you both feel more comfortable with one another. The first date should be fun and relaxing.

2-Just the Facts, Ma’am/Sir. Some people love surprises and some people hate them. Regardless of which type of person your date is, be sure to show them the courtesy of giving them enough information so they may be appropriately prepared for the date. They need to know how to dress, if there is anything they need to do or bring (sunscreen, bug spray,
sunglasses, comfortable walking shoes, etc), and how much time will be involved (they may have to arrange for a baby sitter or someone to give medication to a sick pet).

3-Safety First. Respect your date’s privacy and safety. Do not take offense at hesitancy to disclose a home address, give a home phone number, reveal a place of employment, or having a desire to meet in a public place rather than being picked up. You may be a perfectly law-abiding
citizen with high morals and great character. Your date needs time to learn that about you for their self.

How to make money by pulling scams

Posted by admin on August 15, 2007

Anyone, Interested?

1. Clone a Porn Site Scam
It’s incredibly easy to set up a porn site.

Step-by-step:

- Register a website in Estonia or Bermuda or Kazakhstan. You know, somewhere where they don’t ask questions about this kind of stuff.

- Visit some existing porn sites and copy all their pictures. You’ll probably need about 100. (Don’t worry about these sites complaining – where do you think they got their pictures?)

- Post these pictures on your own site and charge five bucks to look at them. (Don’t worry about people complaining that you only have 100 pictures. Do you think they’ll go to the Better Business Bureau? And anyway, your site is hosted in Estonia.)

2. Write a ‘How to Get Rich’ Book Scam
What? You don’t know how to get rich quick? That doesn’t matter, do you think the authors of all these other books know how to get rich? They get rich by writing these crappy books, and so can you!

Don’t know what to write? It’s easy. Let’s see, Chapter 1 How to think like a winner. Chapter 2 Take command of your destiny. Chapter 3 Cultivating the dream. See, you can knock this stuff out in no time. And if you’re too lazy to spend three days doing this, you can sell it as an e-book on the Internet. That way you only need to write about ten pages!

3. Identity Theft Scam
If a bunch of Nigerians with bad English and email accounts can do it, you can do it, too! The premise is simple: if one in a thousand people will fall for it, send out a million emails. Like they say, a sucker logs on every minute.

What kind of emails am I talking about? Easy, pick a popular bank, clone their website and send out junk mail asking people to update their personal details.

Don’t have the tehnical skills? Go to your nearest college and find an Eastern European IT student. And don’t forget to host your clone website in Estonia.

Corporate Lesson 1 : Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…
“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
