What would you get if you tossed some of the biggest songs in rock and hip-hop into a blender and served them up on a platter of the sickest turntable skills?

Somehow Skratch N’ Sniff Radio hosts DJ Mike Czech and Malcolm have managed to blend together all the above elements into one of the most exciting radio shows to take to the airwaves since Howard Stern made his debut.

“Hip-hop and rock were out drinking one night and they ended up in a hotel together. Neither one of them remembered how they got there when they woke up in the morning,” says host Malcolm. “Nine months later, Skratch N’ Sniff was born. He never met his father.”

Since its debut in 2003 on 91X in San Diego, The Skratch N’ Sniff radio program has taken terrestrial radio by storm. Conceived by on-air host Malcolm, the program takes some of the biggest songs from rock and hip-hop and blends them together to make an unbelievable mix show that fans of both genres are tuning into in droves. The show has grown from a local San Diego radio show into a smash radio success with syndication to nearly 50 affiliates throughout the US, including Boston, Tampa, Dallas and Atlanta.

So make sure to check’em out.

Thank you for what you all do for us as soldiers. You never will know how much it means to us all. We could only wish there was a way we could really show you and pay you all back for everything you have been through and done for us as soldiers. This is really sad plus that fact that it had to happen like this on our own land. It just shows you what we are fighting against. The war in not on just foreign soul. It’ effects us every where and that is why we are fighting what we are fighting. So we can hopefully put it all to an end one day and as fast as we can for our future.

I would like to finish up by saying we wish everybody involved the best, a speedy recovery and mental healing. We are so sorry for all your losses. May God bless you all.

Please take a moment in prayer and silence to read through and memorialize all our lost hero’s. Also please feel free to pass this page along and also posts your respects and thank yous to all our lost and there families below in some comments to share with the and the world. We all need to be very proud of what all our soldiers and these people (soldiers) go through each and every day for all of us. For our rights, freedoms, and love. Please people ALWAYS say thanks when you see a soldier. You would never even be able to imagine what they have went through and seen all for us. Always remember that. Thank you.

YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

R.I.P

So.. i am going to post the fast correct way in steps to reformat your computers.

Mainly you always want to keep your system backup’d nicely and often. the best way to do this in my eyes is to have an external harddrive set up. Whether it be an auto one or manual. Doesn’t matter as long as you keep on top of it. Also if your computer has a restore system hooked up within it even better (such as mine). A lot of computers have this. Suck as my HP”s. Compaq have it also as HP makes Compaq. Dell’s have this now as well. anyways a lot of them do. Some do not and just have you burn the backups or they come with the OS install disc’s. Same thing basically but just not built into your systems. When they are built in it comes in the form of a partition in your main drive. You can tell or see this inside your “computer” folder. It will have a drive “D” or some other numbered or name drive in there besides your main “C” drive. 9 i recommend everybody to check and get it this way if you can when you buy a new computer). You can also burn the backup and main operating system on disc as when you first run computer to will ask you to or there is settings and options to do this inside your control panel or system properties.

OK now down to dirty. Here are the best, correct, fastest ways of doing this in the correct numbered steps. These steps are put this way for a reason. So things install correctly back and also keep you the safest while doing this and mainly safest as you start your computer back up in use right after the reformat.
First.

1. Backup up system (often and/or right before you reformat if you can and computer will and can allow you to if nothings wrong with it to the effect that you can not back it up). Including your mail clients back up folder, contacts. Your bookmarks. etc etc..
2. Unplug your external harddrive from your computer, or use the safely remove hardware tab in your system tray for that or if you have an internal extra drive that you use for backup.
3. Run the restore. Whether it’s built in or by backup disc. There is a complete destructive mode and a non-destructive mode. Best one to do is a destructive. This will wipe out the whole computer and really start fresh. A non-destructive will only redo your main system files and leave your personal. But again it will not do a full clean and sometimes things inside your other parts or personal stuff will be infected or malfunctioning creating other issue’s with your system files. So it’s best to do a full whether you need it or not and is just as fast or good if you do it these ways.
4. As soon as it’s done and you restart and go through the computer set up, then you want to open your browser and get your virus protect program right from the companies site so it’s a brand new version most up to date. Run and install it first.
5. You want to plug back in your back up drive and then re-copy everything back onto your computer.
6. Run the Window’s auto updates which during reset up of your system you should of chosen to have auto updates set. But in this case even if you want to go ahead and run them by yourself and fully that way you are completely up to date with all safety updates and system updates. So go to your start menu and select Windows updates. Run the system and do all updates. Once you have done them once. and they finish, run them again and again until there is no more left. as all of the new ones will not show up just running it one time. So run it a couple times and just wait for them to finish. That way of course everything is up to date.
7. Install your selected browsers. I recommend Firefox.
8. Re-install your bookmarks. (tutorial coming in a sec)
9. Restore/re-install your back up for your mail accounts and mail folders. (tutorial coming in a sec)
10. Then go ahead and run and install all your programs back one at a time. A lot will ask you to restart of course and do so then.
11. Once you have this done go ahead and do another Windows update manually. To make sure it is all still up to date for the programs you just reinstalled.
12. Done.

That’s it guy’s and gal’s. That is the best, safest and easiest way to reformat. in order and correct. I say correct because of safety but also usfulness as in those steps you are safe but also can be using things while waiting and being able to do more things at the same time to get things done faster and still be safe and also mainly have acess to the important things that may be needed while doing this. As example: As you are installing your programs back. you will have access to your mail already incse it’s needed. Also the abilty to have your browser and be safe and protected while your screwing around playiong online while your waiting for the files to be placed back on your computer or programs reinstalled.

so yup.. that’s it people. Easiest and best way to reformat. i hope this helped some of you learn it or the ones that already ‘think” they know maybe see a better way to do it and learn the fastest, safest, most useful way.

[ some tutorials regarding some of these parts will be wrote up or video tutorials done soon.. if we already do not have them]

Happy reformatting !!

First thing is first people. What i really do not get about this whole social networking or status addiction to the web and people these days is. It seems like for an example the town i live in. Even though it is a pretty big town and right in the middle of central Florida and as we call it sometimes Slowcala. Is the fact that everybody and anybody already seem to “think” they know your business. When and where you are. When ever you are taking a leak, eating dinner, the last time you went to the bar or beach, etc etc.. All kind of stuff as whether it is a small town or a large town it seems the close net people always seem to either actually know all your business or think they know it as word travels fast right ?? Well now it seems we have to deal with that to on the Internet. Even people across the world or US know every move you make or when your taking a piss. lol.

It is really sad actually and people need to realize this, understand it and as like me, “hate it”. There are way to many ways as it is for people to be all up in your business and most people do hate that and what i have said above but… It seems they do not either care or realize this when it comes to online things. It is bad enough that it is local to you and the people near you think they know every thing you do or move you make but to be real it is really pathetic. Now with that being said. Why in the world would we want to do that online also. Not only does it not protect our privacy but the people themselves are the actual ones spreading all the words or rumors about themselves. Now that is crazy. It’s bad enough when somebody else does it or is all up in your business but for you yourself to be doing it and not even realizing it is completely nuts. Then really when they sit back and complain and say “damn i can’t believe this and everybody always up in my bizness and i can’t even take a crap without somebody knowing”

As like myself. I am and always have been a pretty popular guy and everybody always seem to be more in my bizness then there own. Well folks. This has to stop. It is going way overboard. As i have been saying now it is not only in person and true life. It is all over the internet now. There is way to many addicts out there now that seem to have to know everything about you. Reg people, stalkers, crazy girl, crazy guys. It never ends. Not to mention when it is online with all the bad people out there trying to get your information and identity. Hacking, phishing, spamming, etc etc.. Whatever it may be. Shoot i just had a friend of mine the other day tell me they deleted one of there accounts because they noticed themselves getting hooked and logging on 150 times a day just to read statuses lol. Now that is nuts. I mean i can understand when it is just your REAL close and personal friends or trying to use it as just another way of contact but with a little fun, or crazy funny images involved but damn.. A lot of people see it like that when it is really WAY more and bigger then that and actually not good nor safe at all. So..

Listen people… Lighten up on it. I mean how many sites do you have to have that has the same damn info on it or updates and telling people your status, what your doing every damn minute of the day. Shoot.. I don’t care your at the store. I don’t care you stopped and ate at Applebees, then stopped and got gas, then blah blah blah…lol. I mean come on people. Realize what you ( or we ) are doing. I try not to really and just post random stuff. Or things that actually mean something to somebody. Like yo.. I’m on my way or something like that but.. That can be done in a txt message or phone call or even email. Anyways. EVERYBODY please read this and realize what we or you all are really doing and do it safely. Not just letting everybody in the world know what your doing every darn second. That is just actually crazy and pretty nutty if you ask me. Maybe people with attention problems or something but shoot they do not even need that much. lol. Not to mention the people that are not writing the truth in those spots or places for status or just trying to make them seem somebody who they are not or like that they are way cooler, hotter or richer then they really are or whatever it may be. Shot if for fact that is even truly the person you are talking to that you think you talking to. As far as most know it is some guy when they think it is some girl they may be talking to or acting as friends. As all you see is what they may want you to see or know i some of those cases. To be real, You just never really truly know now do you. Unless it is actually somebody you know and have verified it. lol. Remember people this is the internet. Anything can happen.

Well as i said please read this good bit of info and realize how unsafe this actually is and will be found later down the road one day and most of all right now in the present. Our society is just going way over board and crazy with this and to be real with you as said it is pathetic and needs to pretty much stop. I mean how many ways do you really need to let your friends know or complete strangers know what you are doing every second. Not to mention most of them are on your facebook, then also your twitter and then also on your myspace. So.. What do you not get about this ?? How many places with the same people on it do you need to log in and update the same darn thing with the same darn people. ?? OOOHH well let me log in here and update.. then let me log in here and update…lol.. well don’t you think they got the message on the first one besides the other 5 – 120 places you just updated the same people with the same thing..lol. Now tell me that doesn’t seem or sound completely crazy.

Well here is some good information for you all to know also. It is a must read and help you understand how to protect your privacy with all this going on or what is actually breaking your privacy that you do not realize or think about. Everybody needs to know this. I was actually going to write something up on it myself which i still might but happen to see this the other day and it made me want to post this about it so.. Please read everybody and i hope this and the link might really make some of you realize and see what a lot of us see and maybe stop all the craziness. I mean have fun online. Yes that’s fine. but there is an overboard and we as people in whole are really letting it get that way and making it worse not only for us but our future. I mean as i said have fun people but damn. No when to say enough is enough.lol

OK well here is that good link and write up on a few things that is a MUST KNOWN and realize.

Protect Your Privacy on Facebook and Twitter – PC World

Not only this above in that link explains it but actually way more to it then that. I mean come on people. Just think about it for a few minutes. Then think about what you do and say when your online. Weather to close friends or actual complete strangers that you call online friends. For that matter even true so called online friends.

Well.. Have a nice day, night whatever it may be on your side of the world and i really hope this helped or really hope this got a lot of you thinking about it.

[ not to mention the people we are making rich just because of everybody posting every second of your private information or what your doing every second of the day.. Then also them having the right to your private information ] Now that is crazy and these people are getting rich off of it. That is even crazier…

So again. Please read this link: Protect Your Privacy on Facebook and Twitter – PC World and get to know what is really going on behind all this.

I will be posting more information or example of this as i find them or go along. Hope this really makes you all think twice. For your own safety.

Please everybody post a comment below as we and the readers would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Thanks

You can set ToYcon up to convert to Vista high-res 256 x 256 pixel icons, or lower-resolution icons that work with XP, by right clicking on the cardboard box and changing the options in the dropdown menu. You can also choose where to save the file, and even convert a dragged and dropped icon into a .PNG image file. (.PNG is like .JPG with built-in transparencies.) Of course, to extract this .ICO icon from your favorite program, you’ll have to use another app, such as the recently reviewed Sib Icon Editor–or the best free icon editor I’ve reviewed, Greenfish Icon Editor Pro.

A better review of this program will be posted soon along with some picture screenshots and tutorial on how to use. This is a pretty simple program so shouldnt be needed but we will do anyways for you awesome people.

Check it out visit our support forum to our download section. The ToYcon Download post can be found here.

Ok people this is a fake spyware program / virus and/or bad program that happens and pops-up anytime when you view certain pages on myspace OR any website for that matter.

It could happen anywhere and this thing has a script / cookie or temp file in them that will make your screen go a little hey-wire and will make your main fullsize screen collapse into a smaller screen with some FAKE porn file warning pop – up or some kind of warning pop up telling you that you have to scan your computer and will resize your screen to the bottom right corner of your screen like in image 2 below

Do not install this program what so ever no matter what it says to do

Ok say your viewing a web page like my example below and it doesn’t have to be myspace it can be any sites page.

what happens is when you open whatever page it might be myspace or any other webpage all of a sudden your screen will do this below and turn the page you where lookin at into a little window at the bottom of your screen and have a pop-up in the middle of your screen like below

*click the image to zoom in and read the FAKE pop-up warning*

OK now if you see this happen DO NOT INSTALL IT OR CLICK YES OR NO what you have to do is close the window by hitting the close button.

(also known as the X button) on the top right of the pop-up or internet window

what will happen then will be this image below

once you see this window pop-up and ACT like it is checking and searching your files ( but its really not )

you need to close that window as fast as you can by also using the close window button ONLY ( also known as the X button ) or “ctrl +alt+delte” as fast as you can.

OK after that you need to go in and clear your temporary internet files and your internet cookies and also your history and after doing that you should be ok as long as you did not click on any other buttons on that pop-up or on the window that came up or tried to install this fake / bad program or whatever the hell it is..and mainly that you did it fast enough and also that you have a good virus program installed on your computer along with spyware program.

Well until next time if you might happen to come across this same thing some where again as i have come across it 2-3 times already. If so just do the same things again.. this thing is not stored in your computer it is just a temporary thing from certain pages and is called a [CACHEBUSTER] and is completely fake.

It is known and has been done to where this thing has ate up peoples hard drive and also made them lose everything on there computer. So be very careful when and if you see this happen and just be calm so you dont mess up and install it by accident like clicking on any of the other buttons besides just closing the window completely by the way i explained above here ONLY.

This thing [CACHEBUSTER] is set up to no matter if you click yes or no to auto-install on your computer..AND remember their are a couple of these running around out there. They do not have to look the exact same or be named the same. Ok people. Beware.

So once again ONLY close the window by the top close button located on the top right of the window and remember to clean out you temporary Internet cache after you did the rest. If your not sure how to do that i have a tutorial that is coming soon to my website that is a video tutorial that will show you how over in the next couple days or so. For now if you like you can post your question below in a comment to find out how to clean your temp files and cache out. Meaning your temporary internet files and cookies, history etc etc.. At least until i have had time to remake the video tutorials.

PS~I would send the link out that makes this happen so you all could see the real effects of what really happens ( because if you follow directions above its pretty harmless but ) when a page is viewed so that you would be more prepared for it but i don’t need or want jerks blaming me for helping this thing spread.. so i decided to do a image tut like above instead.. hope this helps you all and good luck with it.
