This is a trivia game site, and it's a gas! I love the sports questions, but it also has geography, literature, history and a lot more. There are 'blitz' questions you can play by yourself, or more detailed questions you can play with a friend (live or over the phone). I have to say it's a great intellectual exercise and tests a lot of knowledge across many subjects. So it's great fun if this is your thing.

Avast.com

Just purchased the top-of-the-line software package. Much more comprehensive than the 'free' download, which is now apparently much more limited than it was previously. So far I find this equal to, if not superior to AVG. A close friend had a few terrible viruses embedded in his 32.exe files, and AVG identified them but could not remove them. Avast did remove them, and found a few other issues that AVG had not even identified. This product has a long history of very good reviews as well.

If you're a fan of women's golf, this is the Official website of the LPGA and they have done a really nice job upgrading it over the past year.

Player bios, stats, real-time scoring and leaderboard, lots of great content. They also have a cool app (I have it on my iPhone) to keep up with the basics. This site has come a long way and I, for one, have been happy to see it improve so much!

PS~Congratulations to the European team and their victory in the Solheim Cup in Ireland this past week!

Abugames.com

Abugames.com is the best site that I have found to establish the market value, and to purchase cards for Magic the Gathering. Although I don't play the game myself, if you have someone on your gift list who does (especially if they are interested in completed various sets of the cards), this is a great site. You can find cards for less on Ebay auctions and other sites, but this site is like your 'price guide' to find out what a card (or set) is worth before you shop. Great service, prompt shipping.

Videolicious.com

Here's a FUN website where you can download the FREE app, and then make videos, using still images or video footage that you already have. You can do voice-over with a music selection. Takes a little bit of practice, but if you have some time to play with it you can produce a pretty tasty video right on your own computer.

I was pretty bored the day I decided to try this one out but it was worth the time investment!

And so Osama Bin Laden is dead. What next? Is this the end of the threat to our great nation, or only the beginning of the next, and more terrifying, chapter? This website is most informational about jihad and the REAL threat that we face every day. The main spokesperson is Brigette Gabriel~Gabriel gives voice to "what many in America are thinking but afraid to say out loud, for fear of being labeled a racist, bigot, Islamophobic, or intolerant." Good videos and content. The mission that took out Bin Laden is all over the news right now, but these are the kind of folks who are keeping an eye on the bigger picture (and problem) every day. Some of the intelligence gathered in the raid described a massive attack on the U.S. rail system planned for Sept. 11 of this year. And that's only what the CIA will leak to the press. I can't imagine how much intel was there. We DO know what these people are capable of.

Liberals and those who subscribe to the Obama doctrine of "outreach", and those who are more concerned with being politically correct and think that you can make peace with the jihadists need not apply.

Do you believe that the Pakistan military (and govt. leaders) knew he was hiding out 100 yards from their military academy for the past 5 years? If you do, then go to this site and sign the petition. I'm happy to see that there are serious people out there willing to take a stand and TRY to put pressure on our politicians to wise up.

I would hate to see any gal (or her friends or wedding participants) get ripped off by a site like this. This website is poorly assembled with grammatical and technical problems all over the place. Goods ship from China ( what a shocker) and payment methods only include Paypal and Western Union. We've only seen THIS a thousand times already.

Let's all work together and pounce on these types of sites as soon as we see a "hit and run" review posted. I guess I just can't over the fact that a group of criminals would set up an "elaborate" scam like this, targeted at an English-speaking audience primarily, and not even make sure that they're using grammatically correct English on the site or out on the internet at a large.

For all you ladies getting married this summer season, PLEASE stay local for your dresses and wedding accessories. I can't imagine how these animals even sleep at night setting up this kind of trap looking to rip off folks as they plan for such an important day in their life. If you want to get a good laugh, go to this site and read the "Return and Exchange" policies. What a riot.

Great service for moving large files among people who don't have a common FTP or other server upload ability. Plenty of capacity for most usage (especially large graphic files like photos straight off your camera card). Free and very easy to use.

Bullzip.com

If you need a simple PDF printing software program, this nifty little freebie should do the trick. Easy to download and install, works great. I tested it myself and found it to be a spyware/scamware-free download site. There are several of these shareware PDF printers out there, but I can recommend this site with confidence.

Print documents, spreadsheets and other program files to PDF format.

NOT COOL~

Terrible, filthy scam. This is not the only "people" site out there, it's just apparently one of the better financed scams. They blitz the airwaves with commercials, get a whole bunch of folks to sign up unwittingly, and like others before them...they will be GONE at some point without a trace.

Always be WARY of any site that shows "people" trying to contact you (or are "looking for you"), when the people listed are roughly your age and from cities or towns where you have lived. A lot of information is available about you, especially previous address information. That's the key to this SCAM...just try it for yourself!

Go to the site and put in your name. It does an instant database search (they're obviously interfaced with a skip-trace type d-base), and it finds your previous addresses. Then it cleverly assembles a "list" of people who are "looking" for you, who are approximately your age..with random assignments of 'male' or 'female'. Quite a clever scam actually. So for example, let's say at some point you lived in Miami and you're now 32 years old. The skip-trace database has all sorts of info on you (including age or DOB), so mysteriously the site says that a "FEMALE AGE 32 IN MIAMI" is looking for you. What a goof. If you lived in Miami when you were 25 years old, there's a good chance you KNEW a female there at that time, and she would also be 32 now (7 years later). They leave the rest up to your imagination. Like "hmmmmm...I wonder if that could be....." then your mind fills in the blank. Maybe a girl you dated, or whatever. This is most despicable rip-off yet...using your own personal, historical information against you. Which up until now had only been used for debt collection, credit reporting, and skip-tracing and/or law enforcement.

There's just WAY too much information about ANY of us floating around out there in databases, just waiting to be exploited like this. Stay clear of ANYTHING that shows you 'generic' search results about your past life, it's always going to be a scam to get your credit card number!

If you're about sick of the state of the United States, take a look at what the Donald is offering up! Very interesting, no matter your political persuasion.

At least he's talking about KICKING butt...instead of KISSING it.

Like $4.00/gallon gasoline? Keep voting democrat. Good luck out there...

Madeinusa.org

This is a terrific site (and one of the more well-run) to help you find products that are MADE IN THE USA! They list products available in stores as well as on the internet. Also great info about how to help get our country back on the right track. I highly recommend that you cruise this site, I've already found some great items for Christmas shopping and I won't be including China in my Holiday plans!

"The solution is just too simple. The American people need to start requiring the government, that works for us, when using our money to purchase all goods and services bought on our behalf, to be only from United States sources. That is what our founding fathers wanted."

"The concept that they are saving us money by buying off-shore is bogus, as the jobs lost and subsequent lost income will eliminate the ability for us to buy any products at all. This can only exacerbate the increased unemployment, and cause company bankruptcy."

"If Obama won't help, the people can do it themselves. Let's say 300,000,000 Americans each simply reallocated 1 dollar per day, spending 1 dollar less on foreign-made goods, 1 dollar more on American-made goods. (That's $30 per month, per person, and it is not an extra $30 per month, but just where you spend it!) After a year, this would add up to $109,500,000,000. What could the real, productive American economy do with an extra $109.5 billion? How about 2,737,500 new jobs paying $40,000 per year?"

"The greed of us all wanting lower prices is also cutting our own throats in the process. The government and businesses, as well as the consumer has forgotten what made this country the greatest in history. To just flush it all away, and end up just another poor socialist country is a tremendous waste of our divinely inspired founding fathers vision, and the lives of all those that fought and died to keep us a free nation and a great Republic."

This last quoted paragraph gives me pause, as Veteran's Day is this Thursday!

Excellent, easy to use site for creating simple animated .gif files (web banners, etc). You don't have to be a programmer or have any special skills, just create your images and upload them into the free interface. The site creates your .gif for you, and that's it. I highly recommend this, check it out.

BLOGGER ROCKS!

Terrific site from Google for creating nicely designed blogs for personal or business. If you're in the internet business, the links from this site are powerful for 'link flow' back to your site, or to your client's sites. Also a great way to post and broadcast what's happening in your business.

For personal or organization blogging, it's also a great resource. They have many nice design templates, and lots of flexibility in the layouts. You can add widgets and Google Adsense ads to generate more interest and even income!

Check it out, easy to use and very attractive blog alternative (or addition) to everything you're doing.

WOW what an awful scam.

And to take money from folks who are having a hard time or have hit a bad patch in life. I guess there have been palm readers since the beginning of time. This is reminiscent of the "Miss Cloey" 900# scam. One look at this and you just know the claims are too good to be true, and "Tara" is based in Hong Kong? Give me a break.

Here's your prediction from me, FREE today only:

Widgetbox.com

Widgetbox.com is the BEST!

Thousands of widgets for your website, Facebook page, Twitter account, RSS feeds. Absolutely the best resource I've found. All of the widgets you want are FREE!

They have every category you can imagine. Sports, food, travel, weather, it's endless. Definitely worth a look if you want to spruce up your page with cool content that is actually worth something.

BEWARE!!!

This is a total counterfeit merchandise trap!

If you are interested in NFL, NHL, MLB or other Official jerseys or apparel PLEASE go the the actual website for that sport and click the "shop" link to go to the Official store for those sports.

PLEASE read my reviews on these types of sites, and my guide on how to avoid these awful scams and rip-offs. I can't believe this, what a nightmare. These sites are SO poorly done I can't believe that anyone would actually put in a live CC number and make any attempt to buy this junk.

The Official stores (like www.nflshop.com) actually have a lot of great deals, sales and clearance items. Buy the Officially Licensed, genuine products! You might pay a little more, but these knock-off sites will rip you off BIG TIME (and that's assuming they actually ever SHIP you anything). You have NO LEGAL RECOURSE against these types of sites either, so once you're money is gone, it's seriously gone!

Another obvious problem we have are these "hit and run" reviews posted by what are apparently agents for these sites. They come onto SJ and make ridiculously obvious 'sales' posts, usually in very poor English (check the review for this site). This is becoming rampant and we have to stick together to clean up this filth. If you see anything like this, please FLAG it and report it to management. You might save some poor soul a heap of aggravation and keep them from becoming the next victim.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Adcommittee.com

For business owners and managers:

I have to say that Ad Committee has provided a major missing piece of the marketing puzzle for my clients. What an incredible, simple to use platform!

Essentially, you sign up for an account and Ad Committee issues you telephone numbers that you use in your advertising. For example, you buy 3 lines and assign one to your newspaper advertising, one to your website, and one to your radio ads.

The calls are recorded, and then you log into your admin panel and get detailed reports on all the calls. You can LISTEN to the recorded calls (the customer is told that their call may recorded) and know WHO is calling, FROM WHERE and WHY, and evaluate the quality of both the inbound callers and the performance of your employees and staff. I signed up for an "Partner Account" (affiliate) so that I make a little bit from each number, and my clients are just loving the service and how much it's helping their businesses! The website is simple to navigate, the reports module is excellent and the quality of the calls over these VOiP lines is great. I highly recommend this for business owners, anyone in marketing, or tell your boss about this at work...you might get a raise!

Check it out if this pertains to you. You can 'Take The Tour' on the site's homepage and it explains everything clearly.

Nhljerseysale.com
7/24/10

Just as with other major sports, the counterfeit and fraudulent "jerseys" business is booming. And just as with all things on the internet, they're using (in this case) "NHL" in the URL of the website, hoping to capture traffic of folks searching for NHL jerseys and related merchandise.

LOOK AT THE SITE CAREFULLY!!! Right on the homepage is awful sales copy that isn't even written in proper English. Do you need a finger to come out of your screen and poke you in the eye??

We went through this last season with a lot of similar rip-offs on NFL jerseys, so the same thing applies for ALL major sports. IF YOU WANT TO BUY A REAL JERSEY for any major sport, then go the the Official League shop located on the Official League website (MLB.COM, NFL.COM, NHL.COM, NBA.COM, etc.). You will be assured of getting Officially licensed, bona-fide merchandise. You'll get terrific service, and most of all, a secure transaction and the REAL JERSEY that you wanted.

So again, for NHL Jersey purchases (and for the general category of Official merchandise)... BE CAREFUL when you look for this stuff on the internet! Go the the real source for it. Don't try to save a few quid on a no-name website. In fact, on the Official websites there are always all sorts of sales, clearance areas and specials. The Chinese and others are EXPERTS at counterfeiting this stuff and selling it. That's assuming they ever even ship what you paid them for. Agents for Major League Baseball and the NFL make a couple of major busts every year, accounting for literally millions of $$$ of bogus merchandise.

Be careful out there!
