Spam sucks; there is no doubt about it.
There is nothing worse for me than checking my e-mail in the morning before work while trying to enjoy my coffee and what do I see in my Inbox? Nothing but penis enlargement and Viagra ads. As a man I find this terribly offensive; as if my man-hood was being directly attacked.
But not to worry. I found a solution that has been working great for me. I switched to Gmail, the new e-mail service offered by Google. Gmail has many wonderful attributes, including over 2500MB of storage, the ability to send up to 10MB of attachments, the ability to choose whether you want images displayed or not, and the automatic depiction of e-mailed photos. Not to mention that the service is also free!
But one of the greatest things about Gmail that I have experienced so far is their spam filter. Gmail’s spam filter catches nearly all spam that gets sent to me. If a spam e-mail happens to get by, then there is a convenient “report spam” button on the top of the menu which allows me to designate the undesirable messages as spam.
Another advantage of Gmail is its ease of use. You can “star” important e-mails, create labels and filters and, best of all, you can search your e-mail messages. How many times have you remembered you received some key message in an e-mail but you cannot remember the date or who sent it? But you do remember it was about a certain keyword. No problem! Type the keyword into the Gmail search and it will automatically find the e-mail for you!
Another great thing is the ease in which Gmail allows you to select ALL MESSAGES in the spam box and delete them in one fell swoop. What is also great about Gmail is that once you report an e-mail as spam you will rarely receive another spam e-mail from that particular sender; it’s that good.
So what is the draw back? Well, currently Gmail is still in beta and not available to the public. However, current users of Gmail can invite new people to sign up for a Gmail account. So, what you need to do is find a friend who has Gmail and ask them to invite you to Gmail.
If you don’t know anybody with Gmail, then you can post a comment on my blog Spam Watch, and I will send you an invitation to Gmail. Of course, I have a limited number of Gmail invitations and will not be able to invite everyone to the service, but I will do the best I can.
If all else fails, start asking around at work, as well as your family and friends. Someone you know is bound to have a Gmail account and they can e-mail you an invitation. It is totally free and totally worth it.

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 was supposed to eliminate spam email. This federal spam law that became effective January 1, 2004, was passed by Congress to get rid of junk email.
So why didn’t the law eliminate spam and why is it so difficult to stop it? Still today, more than 40% of all e-mail is still unsolicited sent to you by spammers even though that law passed.
The truth is email spammers make so much money they can afford to outsmart The Federal Trade Commission with sophisticated technology.
It is almost impossible to enforce this law although a few do get caught and pay the huge price.
Spam is not likely to go away anytime soon, and it’s difficult to eliminate spam email altogether. But there are some simple ways to significantly reduce spam from getting into your inbox.
Here are Four Fighting Spam Tips:
Protect Your Email Address
Don’t display your email address in newsgroup postings, chat rooms or in an online service’s membership directory. Sometimes email spammers use these sources to harvest email addresses.
Create Two Email Addresses
Another good tip is create two email addresses. Create one for personal messages and the other for public use, such as in newsgroups or chat rooms.
You can create an account with a disposable email address service. Have those emails forwarded to your permanent email address. If the disposable address begins to get spam, just shut if off and get another one.
Create A Unique Email Address
Create a unique email address because email spammers often use dictionary attacks to sort through possible name combinations at some Internet Service Providers. A common name, like johnsmith or thewilliams may get more spam than a unique name like 37xi6OWt8.
Use Email Tools
Most email accounts provide tools to filter out potential spam or ways to channel spam into a bulk email folder. When you’re choosing which Internet Service Provider to use consider their email options.
Although these simple methods might seem obvious, most people do not utilize them. You may be surprised how much junk email you can get rid of just by using these simple tips.
If you decide to eliminate spam altogether all it takes is installing an anti spam filter. Most are reasonably priced between $25 and $40 depending on where you get it. A good anti spam filter will block 100% of unwanted spam and will eliminate spam forever.

Okay, if only it were that simple. No worry, we can get you bowling your way.

Now that you went ahead and purchased your bowling ball and shoes, here’s the second best bowling tip: how to aim. While you wait to roll, don’t necessarily roll the ball at the pins. Line up using the arrows like a gunsight. Why, you ask? It’s less difficult to hit a an aid marker a good deal nearer. To take full advantage, it should be your habit to aim from the exact spot on the wood every approach. If you do it the same every time you can make small adjustements on your accuracy and angle.
What about hooks, for ball handling and velocity? Indeed, this is the third-most essential bowler tip. They get traction with the specialized bowling ball. Many even semi-pro bowlers travel with two or three bowling balls to pull off aggressive hooks, selected precisely for the type of game and lane. Just a bit of caution: greenhorns should keep it simple, and steer clear of a ball that is too heavy for you. Many avid bowlers roll bowling balls with synthetic expert grip. However you should know these pro bowling balls often make even some well known players look foolish. That’s our first 3 bowling tips. A pro from our bowling shop will return next month.

Hair loss is a typical affliction among young men in their 20s and 30s. However usual, it’s no less traumatic for the individual concerned. The balding process is usually the first sign the person is ageing, and can occur as early as just 16 or 17 years old, giving rise to depression and social anxiety. While people tend to see baldness as normal, it’s no joke when it’s you suffering from going bald.
Androgenic alopecia bears upon men in various ways. Some do not suffer any type of balding process til later on in life. Others experience the usual balding pattern : a gentle losing of hair at the temples. Other male balding patterns include the crown first, or a quick thinning out of all hair.
If every man went bald at the same rate in the same way, it could be contended that we wouldn’t see it as so agonising. However, it’s the variety of balding patterns and rate in how they happen (from individual to individual) which causes many individuals to feel rather insecure and simply unlucky if they experience particularly rapid forms of baldness.
Browsing the internet, you would think there’s a variety of simple cures to baldness. Just apply X spray or eat Y tablets per day, and your hair will magically grow back. Sure, there are creams and lotions that give the appearance of thicker hair, and medications that can slow the process of balding slightly, but there is no real cure to hair loss - no magic supplement that individuals can use to absolutely guarantee hair regrowth, or even the prevent baldness.
But there is a solution. There are hair systems, or toupees that men can wear to cover up their bald spots. These hairpieces can be prepared in accordance to their hair colour and type of balding pattern. Scrutinising such a toupee being worn, it’s often hard to see that there is indeed a toupee fitted. If wearing a hair system makes you feel confident when you would have otherwise been anxious, then it’s a good idea to get one.
