People Search Engines: They Know Your Dark Secrets …

By JR Raphael, PC World

Social search engines can turn up your Amazon Wish List, photos of your kids, your musical tastes, and much, much more. What else is out there that you don't want everyone to know, and what can you do to protect yourself?

I know things about my lawyer I absolutely should not know. He's 55 years old, listens to the music of the band Creed, and screams like a little girl when riding roller coasters. He also relaxes with New Age spa treatments and is thinking about getting an electronic nose-hair trimmer. And that's just the start.

Now, let me be clear: I've never spent a single moment outside the office with this guy (and for what it's worth, I'd just as soon not be privy to his personal grooming habits). I learned all of these details by tracking his social footprint across the Web -- and he probably has no idea that he has left such a vivid trail behind.

In our age of social sharing, we expect some of our thoughts to be public. But as we slowly put more and more pieces of ourselves online, specialized search engines are making it easier than ever to pull them together into a highly detailed (and potentially invasive) profile of our virtual lives (read "Online Stalking Made Easy").

I'll let you in on a little secret: The picture isn't always pretty. And even if no rap sheet turns up, do you really want the world to know that you look at bad-breath cures online or post awful "Star Trek" fan fiction?

Just be aware of this beautiful tech ;P

Message from a man




If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be

If something bothers you, speak up Never let a man know everything
He will use it against you later
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within .
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less
Never let a man define who you are
Never borrow someone else's man
If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you

All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies and to men who can handle it..... You'll make someone SMILE, another RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.

BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN

young boy in the barber shop

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer,' This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.' The barber puts a dollar in one hand and 25 cents in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, 'Which do you want, son?
The boy takes 25 cents and leaves
'What did I tell you?' said the barber. 'That kid never learns
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store
'Hey, son, May I ask you a question?
Why did you take 25 cents instead of the dollar

The boy licked his cone and replied,
'Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over



Moral: Sometimes, when you think the other is dumb, you are making a foolof yourself

rotavirus (I'm in recovring) :(




Understanding Rotavirus
Rotaviruses are members of the Reoviridae family of viruses. Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus. A rotavirus has a characteristic wheel-like appearance when viewed by electron microscopy. The name rotavirus is derived from the Latin word "rota," meaning "wheel" (see Rotavirus Pictures
).

There are a number of different strains of rotavirus that cause infections in humans; four strains are common in the United States. Therefore, people can be infected with rotavirus more than once, but usually, the first infection is the most severe, and each subsequent infection causes less severe symptoms of the disease.
What is rotavirus disease?
Rotavirus is a very common contagious viral infection. It is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. Nearly all children have been infected with a rotavirus illness at some stage before they are five years of age, and can be re-infected several times during their lives.



How does rotavirus spread?
Rotavirus enters the body through the mouth and then infects the lining of the intestine. Rotavirus is spread easily from children who are already infected to other children and sometimes adults. The virus can be easily spread through contaminated hands, objects (toys) or food. Children can spread rotavirus 2 days before and up to 8 days after they become sick with diarrhoea.



Ways of preventing the spread of rotavirus disease are:
• Vaccinate infants with the rotavirus vaccine, RotaTeq®, according to the National Immunisation Program guidelines
• Exclude affected child from childcare, preschool, or school until vomiting and diarrhoea has stopped
• Good hand washing
• Keep objects (toys) and areas clean.



How long does it take to show symptoms of rotavirus after being infected?
The incubation period for rotavirus is 1 to 3 days.



What are the symptoms of rotavirus infection?
Symptoms usually start with a temperature, an upset stomach, vomiting followed by diarrhoea, lasting 3 to 7 days. Children may lose interest in eating and drinking and become dehydrated from loss of fluids.



Is there treatment for rotavirus disease?
No,antibiotics are not effective, so give plenty of fluids.
