That Blozzz

I was very interested in the doing this sponsored review because it involved an interesting idea. It is a search engine that you sign up for and can search for people and information that is stored in all one place.

Spock- the best for people search is a search engine a bit similar to Google but with a little different twist. The people information is a little better organized so that it is easier to find the information. The information comes out with the person listed and if a picture is available, that is displayed next to the name with all other information.

I tried out Spock- the best for people search typing in and searching for Dan Rather.

The result was tons of information about Dan Rather of CBS news fame. This includes results from many of his interviews and other major references to him on the Internet.

Spock- the best for people search is a more interactive search engine than most and you can even claim yourself from the search results. If you sign up for an account, you can claim yourself, correct false information, save people searches, and add my people of people who have connections to you.

I found this search engine interesting and very easy to find out all there is to find on certain people all in one place. It is much harder for less famous people because there are many people who share the same name. If the person is a member of Spock, it seems much easier to find out about that person.

One thing that I did not care for was the fact that to claim yourself, you have to enter your password and log-in to wherever the site is that your information is stored. For example, if your information is on MySpace and you want to claim that, you have to put your MySpace log-in and password into Spock in order to claim that information. Though the website claims it is safe, I am not that trusting.

Overall, the search engine is very fun to use and a great way to search for people and not just websites that list that person’s name. It is easy to use and you can use it without signing up for an account. if you choice to sign up for an account, there are tons of interesting features that allow you to create an active account and claim yourself and show connections to important people in your life. To me, this site seems like a search engine combined with a touch of MySpace. It is well worth checking out and like I spent a couple of hours just playing around searching for people. If you are searching for information on someone or looking for a long lost friend, check this site out!

The following is a sponsored review of a academic service:

When I was first asked to review a admissions essay service, I was not sure how I felt about such a service. Is it wrong to hire someone to help with such an essay?

I went to the website to see what it is they offered and if it was legit. Admission Essays are the essays written by potential student who are applying for a certain college. The first thing that I was impressed with when I visited the Admission Essays website was that they have been in business since 1996. The longevity of a company speaks volumes since it show that it is not just a fly by night company.

I thought, prior to checking out the site, that they wrote the essays for you. I was not impressed with this because it is a form of plagiarism. This was not the case with this company. They write a model essay based on all the student’s information. They provide the model to guide the student in writing the best essay based on the standards required by many major universities. This is done from scratch and designed around the personal information of their client.

The company will write the model essay based on the type of school the student is applying to. If the student already has an essay written, they also offer a service that will critique, analyze, and revise the essay and personal statement before the final copy is sent to the potential schools.

As I stated previously, I was a bit apprehensive prior to checking out this website. However, a student trying to get into a major school faces many challenges and stress. Writing just the right Admission Essay is one of the most important factors in determining rather the student will be accepted. I believe this company has provided a legit honest service to aid the student and their family in securing the best opportunity for the student.

The company has been in business many years and the staff is made up of highly educated people. I recommend that if you or your child are trying to get in to just the right university, you check out the www.admissionsessays.com to get the help needed to produce the best Admission essays possible.

Our cousin Kenny has been hatching eggs for us and yesterday was hatch day. I gave him 11 of our eggs to hatch and out of that we had 9 chicks. They are so cute! Eight of them are black and one is yellow with brown strips. I am pleased that I had such a high rate of hatching.Kenny hatched 21 of his own eggs and he got as of last night 11 hatched and four that had peck holes in them. Below is some pictures of the new babies.

This is what is left of the babies former home. Mine were the blue shells.

This is all the little babies but one. We had one still in the incubator waiting to dry off.

This is the chicks sitting on their food.

Nine of the eggs I gave Kenny were a cross between a Plymouth Rock Rooster and Arcauna hens. Two of the eggs were from my neighbors flock and they were a cross between and Aracuna Hen and who knows what rooster since they have several breeds. I believe the yellow may have come from one of those two eggs.

I just took 14 more eggs to be hatched so we will see how many more we get.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the baby chicks. Also wish me luck that they are a majority of hens.

I just got done watching a video called “extreme funny” on You Tube. This video is hilarious. It is two guys performing on stage doing a cross between magic and comedy. It is a cross between David Copperfield and the Three Stooges.

They do several tricks and stunts that will have you cracking up from the start of the video to the end which is just over six minutes. It you need a good laugh, this will have you laughing till you cry. The nice thing is, it is kid friendly so the whole family can enjoy it.

Have you ever seen a magician pull a hat out of a rabbit? You need to check out the link above and watch this funny video.

As you know from previous post, I have recently got DSL High Speed Internet. This has opened a whole new world for me. One of the newest things I can do is watch You Tube Videos. As always, when i find something interesting, I will share it with you.

I found this one last night:

 The Potato Song

This video is so funny, it is a song all about potatoes. Yes the favorite staple of many people. This song is cute and the animation is hilarious. If you can, take the time to watch this. It is funny cute, and family friendly so you do not need to have the kids leave the room.

Enjoy the video and leave a comment and let me know what you think. I give it a 5 star!

Yesterday was a big day here at my house and in the whole neighborhood. Verizon hooked us up to High Speed Internet for the first time ever. We were on dial-up and we were getting maximum speeds of 26.5 Kbps. We now average 779 Kbps and on my laptop we are getting 2 Mbps.

I am excited to be able to do many of the things that I never have been able to do such as You Tube and many other video sites. I can listen to Internet radio and download movies and MP3s. I feel like I have the Internet for the very first time.

Is there anyone else out there who are experiencing high speed for the first time?

I did my weekly weigh in today and I am down another pound. This is good considering I am still restricted from exercise due to my back injury. The back is getting better and I am hoping to soon be able to return to exercise. Of course, Karen is ready for me to return to my normal chores. She is getting tired of taking care of the chickens.

I am still struggling with getting in my vegetables and fruits each day. Life is so busy that it is hard to fit them in. I am starting to drink the V-8 fruit and vegetable juice to try and help. Most diets say you should not drink most of your calories. However, the juice has to help some for vitamins and such.

I am still waiting to hear from others who are trying to lose weight. Am I the only fat man out there? Leave some comments about your own struggle to lose weight!

The following is a sponsored review of a free blog site.

I recently checked out this site called Thoughts.com. It is a site that offers free blogs for personal use. It is kind of a cross between blogging and MySpace. They offer you a free unlimited blog for personal blogging. You can share your thoughts, tell jokes, upload photos and videos, and more.

With the easy to Create Blog, you can share all your thoughts with your friends or with the whole world. The free blog comes with your own URL in this form http://www.thoughts.com/username/blog. You can share this address with people throughout the Internet. You may not use the blog for promoting your websites or any business. It is just for personal use only.

Besides offering the free blog, Thoughts.com offers a community feeling with a forum and the ability to make friends. You can also have your posts, pictures, and videos rated and commented on and you can do the same for other bloggers. Unlike the tradition blogging methods, you have instant access to traffic from other members. You can also bookmark your favorite bloggers on your own blog.

There things I like about this free blog site. It is easy to use. Anyone who has never had a blog or website can now get a working blog with in minutes and be able to share their stuff with whoever they want. There are three levels of settings for your posts and photos. You can set it for private and only you can view it, set it for only friends and family, or set it for public for all to see.

There are many members and some very interesting blogs to read. The forums let you share your ideas and learn more from other members. It really does set up a nice community atmosphere. They also offer contests for members who refer others and a chance to win a free Vacation.

The blog space and bandwidth is unlimited and the site site allows you to upload as much as you want of photos, videos, and podcasts. For anyone who pays for hosting, you know how important it can be to have unlimited space.

There are some things I do not like about Thoughts.com. First, I do not like the URL format. I would prefer blog.thoughts.com because it would be easier to promote the blog on places such as directories.

I also do not like the fact that the terms forbid adult material but some of the top blogs in the popular blogs are sex story blogs. If they have strict terms to protect minors, they should enforce those terms. I am the first one to protect freedom of speech but if the terms forbid, it should not be allowed.

I do not like the fact that you can not promote your other sites or your business. This is a big deal in the world of blogging when you have more than one site. Often times, like with this blog, bloggers try to earn a little money. With Thoughts.com, you are not allowed to do any commercial activity.

The site is very basic and lacks the ability to add your own designs. However, it is free and very user friendly. If you are new to blogging or just want a place to post stuff to share stuff with friends and family, this is a great site for that purpose. You can get started quickly and send the address to your family to share pictures of the kids, recent family news, or a current video.

The site is also great for people who just want to connect with others and share a few laughs or share a sad moment with others who may be going through the same thing. If they enforced the adult content rule, I would also say this is a great place for kids to express themselves and share with their friends in a safe environment.

If you are an advanced blogger or looking to do more advanced stuff, Thought.com may not be for you. However, as far as free blog sites go, this was one of the easiest I have seen. If you are truly looking to just share your thoughts, this would be a great start in the blogging world. It is free, you have nothing to lose and you may have loads of fun. Why not try out the site for yourself and see what it has to offer?
