“He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill.” ~Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
MakeUseOf is proud to present "The (Very) Unofficial Facebook Privacy Manual" | makeuseof.com
Do you like Facebook, but wish your information wasn't so public? If so, it's time to
lock your settings down. Facebook doesn't make this easy, however;
features are constantly added and the default for each new one
seems to favor transparency instead of privacy.
If you use Facebook you should read this guide, if only to
understand how public most of your information is.
This amazing guide outlines a variety of things regarding Facebook
privacy, starting from how to make sure a comment meant for your
friends isn't seen by co-workers to keeping your Facebook information off
Google's search results and blocking unwanted users. Plus a few
things you probably didn't even know you wanted to know.
Enjoy!

Pay Yourself First | chrisbrogan.com

I really do manage all that. And most parties in that mix feel like they get a lot of attention from me. But it’s not easy. The way I accomplish it, and the way I’ll do even more going forward is that I pay myself first.

9 Surprising Uses for Beer | Care2 Healthy & Green Living
Beer. It refreshes and relaxes, it fuels sociability and cools the burn of spicy food. It is the most-widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world, and the third most common beverage overall. It is the oldest alcoholic beverage produced–and in fact, the oldest known code of laws (the Code of Hammurabi ca 1750 B.C.) called for the death penalty for drinking-house proprietors found guilty of watering down their beer. Those Babylonians took their suds seriously.

7 Things Your Teeth Say About Your Health | Teeth & Health | Care2 Healthy & Green Living
Some messages coming out of your mouth bypass the vocal chords. Turns out that your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues also have plenty to say — about your overall health.
“Your mouth is connected to the rest of your body,” says Anthony Iacopino, dean of the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry and a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. “What we see in the mouth can have a significant effect on other organ systems and processes in the body. And the reverse is also true: Things that are going on systemically in the body can manifest in the mouth.”
So stay attuned to the following warning messages, and have worrisome symptoms checked out by a dentist or doctor.
