New & Used Material Handling Equipment

During the day I work for a large plastics extrusion company in the Midwest. We have many materials moving all over the building all day and night long. Have box tippers, pallet jacks, fork lifts, material lines and storage is a major part of the business.

AMHBoston.com has new and used material handling equipment. Pallet racks, shelving, carts, trucks and conveyor units. Just about everything you need to get material from one place to another safely and cost effectively.

Material handling equipment can make ones job easy on the mind, body and soul. Where I work, back in the day they used shovels and did everything by hand. With new technology material handling equipment has advanced and makes everyones job a little easier. There is less stress every day and less aches and pains. Not to mention that sometimes it's more safe to have a machine assist in your duties.

Google Adds "Street View" to Maps

As if Google.com didn't already almost own the world, they went ahead and upgraded Google Maps to include "street view".



The new view allows users to get a "360-degree street-level video from Immersive Media to enable neighborhood walk-throughs in (for now) a few selected areas." Now we can all walk down the middle of the ghetto and not get killed.

Fresh Celery Juice the Cure for Asthma?

Did you know that if you drink fresh celery juice and just relax you may be able to beat asthma?

Take a look at Brantleycure.com and read about all different kinds of herbal remedies that actually can "cure" the "incurable" things that plague us today.

Mother, 3 Children Found Dead in Home

A mother, separated from her husband, was found dead along with her 3 small children. All were hung in a closet in their mobile home. An 8 month old has survived and is in good condition at a nearby hospital.

I am sure by now you have heard or seen this story. What a tragedy. Murder-suicide is suspected but the investigation is ongoing. How do people bring themselves to do things like this?

This is nothing new to Texas apparently. There have been 3-4 other cases like this where the children are killed by the mother in the last 5 years. All of the woman were found innocent by reason of insanity. I just don't get that.

PayPerPost Expands Services with PPP Direct

PayPerPost (a website that manages blog advertising) would like to let you know about how they put ANOTHER feather in their cap. Last update they unloaded a PPP Direct feature which allows advertisers to contact bloggers directly for paid posts.

Bloggers get a badge to put on their blog, set their own price and when advertisers click the badge they are asked to fill out some details about what they want the blogger to do. They also have the option of negotiating the price with the blogger.

Some others like ReviewMe charge 50%-100% markup for a service that is similar. PayPerPost Direct charges 10% and that's it. 5% of that goes to Paypal processing fees.

It has never been easier for bloggers to accept offers and get money for their hard work. Plus with PPP payment service through Paypal.com, you have the security that you will be paid with their escrow-like service.

Miss Japan WIns Miss Universe, It's Only Been 50 Years!

Donald Trump said it best with "She is an amazing champion, an amazing woman and I hear that they go totally insane in Japan, so that's good.”

Japan is going nuts only because it's the first time in 50 years that Miss Japan has won Miss Universe. There were a couple of mishaps in the competition though. 2006 Miss Universe nearly dropped the 250,000 tiara while trying to place it on the head of the winner, Riyo Mori.

Miss USA Rachel Smith, took a tumble during the evening gown competition, so there goes her chances. And to top it off, she was jeered by the Mexican crowd as she began her interview.

Between the couple of mishaps and the contestants starting to act like humans (getting busted or exposed for this or that) I am beginning to think it might be interesting enough to actually waste some TV time on.

Charles Nelson Reilly Dead at 76

Charles Nelson Reilly is most likely the only reason I ever watched old re-runs of the game show "The Match Game". His answers were so funny and his antics made the audience roar with excitement on every occasion.

He had crazy outfits and not to mention his glasses that were all big and 70's-ish :) The guy was so of out there, but everyone could relate to him in one way or another. Hats off to Charles, what an excellent career. Rest in peace.

Some Pig! Whoa! Is That a Paintball Gun?

Take a look at the picture. I know it isn't, but does the gun not look like a paintball gun? LOL. What a huge pig and to think that it was cruising around out in the woods for how long?

The 11 year old said he shot the pig 8 TIMES with a .50 caliber revolver, chased it for 3 hours through the hills and finished it off with a point blank shot. Poor pig. I can't help but feel sorry for it. He probably never bothered anyone. Either way, quite an interesting story and that's why it's on H.A.M.M. News.

Reseller Plans Make People Money

Do you know how to make money online? Chances are good that you know someone that is making a living or a decent 2nd income from the internet. I like to look around for new ideas and maybe even give one or two a try if I have some time.

In the past I have been sticking to my affiliate programs or payperpost.com. I also run an electronics ecommerce website in my free time. I just got a link to a website that sells a reseller program that isn't like any other. Their basic and pro reseller packages include many features, as well as, Google Adwords credits.

Become a basic reseller and get features that include:

SSL Certificate

Free email accounts

No Risk Money Back Guarantee

Pro Reseller is also available for $160 per year.

Got Money? Not this much

Coca-Cola acquires Energy Brands for $4.1 billion! That's right folks, you heard it right, $4.1 BILLION. Is that any indication as to how lucrative the flavored, or in this case, vitamin water is? I would have to say "yes", big time!

Vitamin water usage is on the rise, just take a look at any grocer or convenience store, the shelves are packed full of flavored water or what have you. I am not saying it's not good for you, I just can't believe that Coca-Cola is sticking their heads out THAT far for the future of vitamin water.

Eventually it will disappear, or there will be only ONE brand to buy, (for Coca-Cola's sake, I hope it's Energy Brand) and all the rest will be history.

Seduce a Celebrity at GoFish.com

Do you think that you can seduce a celebrity? Can you make a short film about what you would do if you won a date with a celebrity? GoFish.com has just the thing for you and it's called "Seduce a Celeb". Rules are simple and pulled right from the site:

Step 1:
Watch the introduction to the Seduce a Celeb promotion. Mirelly will explain how the promotion works.
Step 2:
Watch Mirelly's videos with 3 specific calls to action and create a video for each one. Be as creative as possible; now is the time to separate yourself from the competition.
Step 3:
Upload your videos and you will be entered for a chance to win a date with Mirelly Taylor! Mirelly Taylor, has been in movies like "Kiss Me Again" and "Serving Sara", as well as, television shows including “Punk’d”, and “Numb3rs”.

Seems pretty easy right? That's what I think too. It's worth a try and why not, you just might make yourself a star in the process. Do you know how many people are turning into rockstars because of videos they uploaded to YouTube.com? Give a shot, it's well worth the time to give it a try! If you like the video that I got right from their site, you can check out other Free videos at GoFish.com. There are plenty of hilarious entries already, be creative and you just never know.

Creepy Crawly Ghost Hunters!

I am getting quite excited over the last week or so about the return of one of my favorite television shows, Ghost Hunters. The show is on the SciFi channel Wednesday nights I think. Anyways, SciFi has been showing past episodes to get the fans all "hot and bothered" about the new season to start on June 6th.

For those of you who have never seen it. It features 2 plumbers by day, Ghost Hunters by night and a crew of curious young adults that want to believe. They go to various locations with tons of equipment and "camp out" for the night in hopes of catching the "Holy Grail", an apparition on film. The show has some drama to it, only because you get that from different people and personalities, but it's not all soap opera on your ass. That's what I like about it, real footage and no script!

Some of the shows are boring, they may not always find evidence of the paranormal, but when they do, it's raw footage and is creepy as all get out! I know some of my readers are huge fans of the paranormal. I am into the paranormal a little more than the average guy, but that's only because I want to see something with my own eyes.

I have heard some mind bending stories about the paranormal, as well as, seen some crazy footage on the internet and television. But that does nothing for me if I cannot see it with my own eyes, right in front of me. I live in the Midwest, old towns and cemeteries are everywhere, with the occasional "haunted house" tossed in there to mix it up a bit. I will see something eventually, but that would mean I have to actually start looking :)

Enjoy the show!

Roman Blinds for Your Home

Reading through Terry's Fabrics, I came across their roman blinds. Directly from the website it reads:

"Crisply pleated into neat horizontal folds, Roman blinds have the pared down, functional look that's perfect for a modern home and is economical on fabric too.
A neat and elegant style, Roman blinds look very simple from the front, falling in a series of level folds to the sill. But behind the streamlined pleats, a clever system of rods, slipped into tape casings at the back of the blind, holds the folds straight."

Roman blinds seem nice and lay completely flat when they are lowered all the way. They use very little fabric, but look nice and the prices are excellent as well. Just looking at a couple of different kinds; Bamboo Wood Roman Blind = 33% off or Nigeria Roman Blind = 19% off.

The website offers easy navigation, as well as, "easy on the eyes" layout. Check out Terrys Fabrics for all kinds of window treatment kits. I, myself, like blinds over curtains, so the selection that is on the website is definately right up my alley.

The Internet Can Be a Fun Place

To all of us, that currently float around the internet on a daily basis because we have nothing else as exciting in our lives, we know where to go to get some entertainment online.

Arcade websites which allow a person to play games online without having to download any massive files for the most part. Crazy addictive games you can find at neopets.com or miniclips.com. All of these games are created easily and can give you a headache in under 6 hours of play time! So, join me and help me make a list of websites that we love to visit everyday for adicting entertainment. No adult sites please!

MENSCIENCE CAPTURES WIN AT MEN’S HEALTH 2007 GROOMING AWARDS

MIAMI, FLORIDA – April 24, 2007 – From hundreds of men’s skincare and grooming products, Men’s Health Magazine has chosen the MenScience Microfine Face Scrub as Best Face Scrub of the Year in the 2007 Grooming Awards.

Each year, Men’s Health Magazine gathers a panel of skincare and grooming experts from across the country to judge a wide array of men’s products. Through precise testing and evaluation, the panel decides on the best and most effective men’s products for every aspect of a grooming/skincare routine: from shaving to hair care to face/body care. The Microfine Face Scrub was singled out for honors due to it’s unique blend of exfoliating ingredients such as salicylic and glycolic acids, as well as the presence of physical exfoliators such as microfine buffing particles.

MenScience president Federico Sanchez commented on the win: “We’re all very happy about winning this award. Because we use professional-grade ingredients in our formulas, men can immediately see results when using our line. It’s great to see that a magazine like Men’s Health also recognizes how effective our products really are.”

The Microfine Face Scrub will be featured in the May issue, as well as online at www.Menshealth.com. Men’s Health Magazine is the largest circulated men’s lifestyle magazine in the world, and has acted as a trusted source for men’s health, fitness and grooming since 1987. This award marks the second time MenScience has been honored by the magazine: the Buff Body Gloves were also spotlighted in the 2005 Men’s Health Grooming Awards.

ABOUT MENSCIENCE:

MenScience Androceuticals offers professional-grade grooming, skincare and nutritional products based on cosmeceutically-active ingredients that deliver maximum efficacy and visible results. It is their goal to revolutionize skin care and nutritional support for men with unique and innovative products offering the highest level of performance and quality.

------------------------------------------

I have been looking for a face scrub that doesn't irritate my skin when I am clean shaven. Menscience.com has men's skincare products and nutritional supplements for sale. Their MicroFine Face Scrub was just named "face scrub of the year" in the Mens Health Grooming Awards! Going to www.menscience.com to look for a new facial scrub is not a bad idea. I use the internet for price comparison shopping (beats going store to store), so I am always up for new helpful websites. If they have a product or two that I think I would like to try, then I will most certainly buy from them.

Hank Aaron doesn't care?

Should Hank Aaron be upset that Barry Bonds is creeping up on his home run record? No, but should he be upset that Barry is also taking a pill to boost performance? YES. Back in the day there wasn't anything these guys could do. They worked hard for what they accomplished and now in today's society we are trying to let children and young adults now that drugs are bad, yet we have no problem showing Barry Bonds hit that last home run and cheer him on for it. Everyone knows that they guys is pumping up his game and not naturally!

I think it paints a poor picture to up and coming athletes and possibly makes them feel like they have to "enhance" their performance to get to the top of their game. I think that Hank Aaron not being all the excited is just the way he should act. When asked what he will be doing if Bonds hits that magic home run? "Probably playing golf somewhere". Very well said indeed.

Paintball season is upon us and there is only ONE place to get discount paintball equipment. You can get discount paintball guns, as well as, discount paintball markers from www.pntball.com. I have never tried paintball wars or even shooting a paintball gun for that matter. But when I watch the pros on TV do it, it certainly looks like a crap load of fun.

Maybe this year I will break down from my cheap ways and hit up pntball.com for some discount paintball guns. Join me, they have excellent prices and FREE shipping!

There top selling guns include:
Tippmann A-5
Tippmann 98 Custom
Smart Parts Ion
Spyder Pilot ACS

My brother has always wanted me to get one so we could "duke it out", but I haven't. Guess I am a chicken :) Visiting the website, it appears they have quite a selection of products and accessories. I don't think I will be disappointed if I end up buying from them.
