Diamond Fasteners Website Review
Upon reviewing http://www.diamondfasteners.com/, I have found many positive aspects and very few negative aspects of the site. The home page has a wonderful layout. Even without any previous knowledge of the company, I could immediately tell what products and services the company offers. It is a very professional design from a very professional-looking company. The organization is excellent, with the navigation bar at the top of the page, and the block of products listed on the bottom and links to information about the product. http://www.diamondfasteners.com/inserts.htm The color scheme of the site it wonderful. There is just enough color to please the eye, but not to a fault. I also like how the certifications are displayed at the top of the page. It gives a customer a sense of security when contemplating a purchase from the company. The site provides the necessary simplicity in navigation, and no content is difficult to find.
One of the few problems I noticed when navigating the site was that the “Products and Services” and “Manufacturing” links in the navigation bar seem to take you to the same place. http://www.diamondfasteners.com/manufacturers.htm The drop down list is nice for the products, but I believe a short description or list of the products and services that are provided would be sufficient.
Overall, the design of the site is great for the most part and it appears as though the content of the site will provide enough traffic to promote their goods and services effectively. A well-constructed website is one of the first steps in becoming a quality, well-respected company, and this site stays true to the mold.

Tweaks to Make Firefox Faster
I found these tips online, and I noticed a difference right away. If you have any problems, it's simple enough just to undo the changes that are listed here. It only takes a couple minutes, so why not give it a try...
Linkage
1. Type “about:config” (no quotes) in the adress bar in the browser.
2. Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer”
3. Set it’s value to “0“;(Zero)
Increase the Speed at Which Firefox loads pages
1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit Enter.
(Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 10.
This means it will make 10 requests at once.
3. Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero)
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages faster now.
Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right Click –> New– > Interger or String
network.dns.disableIPv6: set “false”
“content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5“; (Five)
“plugin.expose_full_path”: set “true”.
“ui.submenuDelay”: set “0; (zero)
Reduce RAM usage to 10MB when Firefox is minimized:
This little hack will drop Firefox’s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:
1. Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2. Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3. In the box that pops up enter “config.trim_on_minimize”. Press Enter.
4. Now select True and then press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox.
I hope this was of use!

Man Free of HIV After Stem Cell Transplant
From CNN
"A 42-year-old HIV patient with leukemia appears to have no detectable HIV in his blood and no symptoms after a stem cell transplant from a donor carrying a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to the virus that causes AIDS, according to a report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine."
I was really excited to hear about this, although I know this is just a small step. I think the possibilities of stem cell treatments are limitless.

8 Monkeys Joke
The 8 Monkeys
(This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.)
Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.
One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder.
All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.
However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.
A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him.
This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking the new monkey.
One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.
And that is how most companies' policies get established.

Go check out Repo! The Genetic Opera!
Repo! The Genetic Opera
This is one movie that I've been absolutely hooked on since I randomly bought it.
In the year 2056--the not so distant future--an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants--for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family’s mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.
Seems as though most 'professional' movie critics have given this movie poor reviews, but there is no shortage of positive reviews from us normal people.
Yahoo! users have it at an A- overall, while critics have an average score of a D+...nice disparity.
Anthony Stewart Head and Sarah Brightman both give excellent performances in this rock opera, as well as Terrance Zdunich as the Graverobber.
The first time I saw it, I didn't quite know what to think, but now I can't get the music out of my head. I encourage all of you to go check it out!
Trailer from YouTube!

Top 10 Offbeat Quotes About Hell
A really nice collection of quotes from AlternativeReel.com
10. BOREDOM
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse."
—Isaac Asimov, quoted in Philosophy on the Go, 2007
9. INFINITE LOVE
"According to Christianity, eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, believe or die. 'Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.'"
—Bill Hicks
8. NO REDEMPTION
“I believe that you’re born with eternal sin, and that mankind is Hell. You don’t have to die to go to Hell. There is no redemption in Christ. The only redemption you have is in realizing that you’re alone in the universe, and to take command of your own life.”
—Joe Coleman, Cosmic Retribution: The Infernal Art of Joe Coleman, 1994
7. KINDLING WOOD
"I would not for my life destroy one star of human hope, but I want it so that when a poor woman rocks the cradle and sings a lullaby to the dimpled darling, she will not be compelled to believe that ninety-nine chances in a hundred she is raising kindling wood for hell."
—Robert Ingersoll, How to be Saved, 1880
6. GOLDEN RULES
"A God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell—mouths mercy, and invented hell—mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to worship him!"
—Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger, 1916
5. LAKES OF FIRE
"Hell came right along with God, hand in hand. The stink of sulfur swirled in the air of the church, fire burned in the aisles, and brimstone rained out of the rafters. From the evangelist's oven mouth spewed images of a place with pitchforks, and devils, and lakes of fire that burned forever. God had fixed a place like that because he loved us so much."
—Harry Crews, A Childhood: The Biography of A Place, 1978
4. RELIEF
"Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself."
—George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903
3. ENDLESS INFINITIES
"An idea, which has terrified millions, claims that some of us will go to a place called Hell, where we will suffer eternal torture. This does not scare me because, when I try to imagine a Mind behind this universe, I cannot conceive that Mind, usually called 'God,' as totally mad. I mean, guys, compare that 'God' with the worst monsters you can think of—Adolph Hitler, Joe Stalin, that sort of guy. None of them ever inflicted more than finite pain on their victims. Even de Sade, in his sado-masochistic fantasy novels, never devised an unlimited torture. The idea that the Mind of Creation (if such exists) wants to torture some of its critters for endless infinities of infinities seems too absurd to take seriously. Such a deranged Mind could not create a mud hut, much less the exquisitely mathematical universe around us."
—Robert Anton Wilson, “Cheerful Reflections on Death and Dying,” Gnoware, February 1999
2. STRANGE WORLD
"It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die. Who knows? If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix—a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing . . . And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. Missing. Back-ordered. No tengo. Vaya con dios. Grow up! Small is better. Take what you can get . . ."
—Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo Papers, Vol. 2: Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s, 1988
1. INVISIBLE MAN
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! . . . But He loves you!"
—George Carlin
10. BOREDOM
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse."
—Isaac Asimov, quoted in Philosophy on the Go, 2007
9. INFINITE LOVE
"According to Christianity, eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, believe or die. 'Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.'"
—Bill Hicks
8. NO REDEMPTION
“I believe that you’re born with eternal sin, and that mankind is Hell. You don’t have to die to go to Hell. There is no redemption in Christ. The only redemption you have is in realizing that you’re alone in the universe, and to take command of your own life.”
—Joe Coleman, Cosmic Retribution: The Infernal Art of Joe Coleman, 1994
7. KINDLING WOOD
"I would not for my life destroy one star of human hope, but I want it so that when a poor woman rocks the cradle and sings a lullaby to the dimpled darling, she will not be compelled to believe that ninety-nine chances in a hundred she is raising kindling wood for hell."
—Robert Ingersoll, How to be Saved, 1880
6. GOLDEN RULES
"A God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell—mouths mercy, and invented hell—mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to worship him!"
—Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger, 1916
5. LAKES OF FIRE
"Hell came right along with God, hand in hand. The stink of sulfur swirled in the air of the church, fire burned in the aisles, and brimstone rained out of the rafters. From the evangelist's oven mouth spewed images of a place with pitchforks, and devils, and lakes of fire that burned forever. God had fixed a place like that because he loved us so much."
—Harry Crews, A Childhood: The Biography of A Place, 1978
4. RELIEF
"Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself."
—George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903
3. ENDLESS INFINITIES
"An idea, which has terrified millions, claims that some of us will go to a place called Hell, where we will suffer eternal torture. This does not scare me because, when I try to imagine a Mind behind this universe, I cannot conceive that Mind, usually called 'God,' as totally mad. I mean, guys, compare that 'God' with the worst monsters you can think of—Adolph Hitler, Joe Stalin, that sort of guy. None of them ever inflicted more than finite pain on their victims. Even de Sade, in his sado-masochistic fantasy novels, never devised an unlimited torture. The idea that the Mind of Creation (if such exists) wants to torture some of its critters for endless infinities of infinities seems too absurd to take seriously. Such a deranged Mind could not create a mud hut, much less the exquisitely mathematical universe around us."
—Robert Anton Wilson, “Cheerful Reflections on Death and Dying,” Gnoware, February 1999
2. STRANGE WORLD
"It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die. Who knows? If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix—a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing . . . And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. Missing. Back-ordered. No tengo. Vaya con dios. Grow up! Small is better. Take what you can get . . ."
—Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo Papers, Vol. 2: Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s, 1988
1. INVISIBLE MAN
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! . . . But He loves you!"
—George Carlin

InstantCashSweepstakes - easy money
InstantCashSweepstakes.com
Probably the only survey site that I've seen people get paid money from. All you have to do is answer three multiple choice questions, and you'll get tickets put in their weekly drawing for $250. There are instant winners too, but it's about $10 as far as I can tell.
Another perk (so please use the link above to sign up, haha) is that a person that refers someone that wins a prize will get that same prize as well. You can answer three sets of three questions every 6 hours and they'll even send you an email reminder of when you can answer questions again if you want them too.

Daily Deal Sites - Online Shopping
Woot
Woot is probably the most popular and my personal favorite of the bunch. $5 shipping on every item, no matter the size. Excellent deals on new and refurbished electronics and other stuff. There are also tabs for daily t-shirt sales and wine.
Shopping.Woot
Powered by yahoo. It's still Woot, but it seems like there's a lot of higher ticket items on there.
1SaleADay
Most of the time it's junk that no one would want, but there may be something useful from time to time. Once in awhile, all you have to pay is shipping for the item too.
Stootsi
Not too shabby. There are plenty of good deals on this one and also tabs at the top of the page for salvaged items and games.
Uneetee
My favorite t-shirt site. They have a shirt for $10 every day. The shirts are excellent quality as well, coming from American Apparel.
Feel free to leave your favorite sites in the comments section and I'll try to add them to the post. Happy shopping!

I know some people that have made over $200 in just a few weeks of referrals, surveys and offers. Not much work involved whatsoever.

Watch Full Movies Online for FREE
Seems like these sites are constantly changing due to legal issues, but here are a couple of my favorite sites that I use to watch movies online for free.
Combine this with the post below to do things that aren't extremely ethical...
Watch-Movies.net
Seems like they're consistently updated and have high-quality links for the most part. Also well organized and easy to access.
The second link...
ThePiratecity.org
Also well organized and easy to navigate. Some of the links are the same, but if I can't find the movie I want at a high quality at Watch-Movies.net, I'll try here. You really can't go wrong with either one.
ENJOY!

How to Save Videos from Youtube
This works the same for any video you may come across online...
First, navigate to KeepVid and enter the URL of the video you want to save.
Then, save the FLV files to your computer. You can then use a file converter such as PRISM to convert the file to your preferred format.
From there, you can then burn the file to a DVD, add it to your cell phone, iPod, Xbox 360, etc, or simply save them to your computer for easy access!
