In this day and age of immediate information being available at anyone’s fingertips, it would make sense that you would be concerned about how to improve your online reputation and be able to manage your reputation if it’s less than desirable.
Do you realize just how popular it is to use an internet search engine such as Google to find out about someone’s reputation?

If you are an avid reader of the Kensavage.com site then you may have noticed a period of time when the site was not up and running. Basically it got hacked. DDOS via ssh for about 3 weeks and they eventually took it down. Once it was down it was exploited and a got access to the site somehow.
Whatever it’s locked down tight now and I want to thank the guys at the best web hosting company out there Steadfast Networks.
Without warning our site was taken down for a few days from a sucker punch to our server. I’m here to tell you that we were down but not out!
There was an attempt made on the life of our server. It is with much chagrin that I must tell you that this hack into our server hit us with the old one two. We were stunned and our legs buckled for a little bit. Hey, it happens.
But we have finally gotten back up, put our mouth piece back in, and we’re ready to head back out there.
Ding! We’re coming out fighting tougher and more exciting than a Micky Ward fight.

We all know someone (maybe even ourselves) who has a tattoo that they no longer like and they want to know how to remove a tattoo. Well for now, there really isn’t a quick or painless way but here is how to do it.
Dermatologists will tell you that their business is absolutely booming thanks to people who at one time loved their tattoos but now…not so much. Laser tattoo removal is a procedure that is becoming more and more popular with time.
Laser tattoo removal is where a state-of-the-art laser is used to target the pigment in the tattoo. The laser penetrates the skin and hits the pigment, blows it into small pieces and then those pieces are absorbed back into the body through the lymphatic system. Sounds easy right?

Burger King is building a Kids Meal that will contain the flame-broiled Tenders, organic unsweetened applesauce and low-fat milk, for a total of 305 calories and 8.5 grams of fat. Burger King pledged Wednesday to offer healthier fast-food items for children under 12, with plans to sell and market flame-broiled Chicken Tenders and apples cut to resemble thick-cut french fries. Burger King Holdings Inc., the world’s second largest hamburger chain, said it has set nutritional guidelines to follow when targeting children under 12 in advertising, including limiting ads to Kids Meals that contain no more than 560 calories, less than 30 percent of calories from fat and no more than 10 percent of calories from added sugars.
In that vein, Burger King is building a Kids Meal that will contain the flame-broiled Tenders, organic unsweetened applesauce and low-fat milk, for a total of 305 calories and 8.5 grams of fat. It will be available in restaurants sometime in 2008, the company said.
The fast-food chain is also developing what it calls BK Fresh Apple Fries. The red apples are cut to resemble french fries and are served in the same containers as fries, but they are not fried and are served skinless and cold.

Report a bike lane violation in New York City. This guy takes a picture of someone clogging up the bike land in NYC and then reports the pic and license plate to his website. You can also the the Top Offenders. MyBikelane was conceived after repeated frustration at having to dodge cars illegally parked in the bike lanes. Several near crash experiences as a result of people too lazy to find valid parking motivated me to build this site.

WTF is an Insulin Pen? Well it is an insulin injection tool that resembles… you guessed it, a pen. This is great for people who need to give themselves an insulin injection when out in public but do not like it to be noticeable. There is one Insulin Pen available right now named HumaPen Memoir. This pen currently will dispense insulin in whole unit increments. It is made to work with the most prescribed mealtime insulin used in America which is the insulin lispro injection. Being released in April is an Insulin Pen called Luxura HD which will be able to dispense insulin in half unit increments, after the first unit. This will no doubt be very popular among children with diabetes.
