8 Places We Forget To Clean


There are some places we only clean a few times a year and then there are places that, somehow, often never get cleaned. They just don’t seem to need it…but they do. Now, we’re not suggesting you go all OCD but you might want to add a few of these to your annual, or semi-annual, clean up.

  • Space Underneath Appliances or Keyboards: most of us just wipe down the counter or the desktop without actually moving this stuff and then you do and you discover that underneath that appliance are a ton of crumbs. While you're at it you might want to take a sponge to the bottom of your appliances too before the dust turns sticky.

Reasons why we Get Banned from Google Adsense


With so many people ranting and screaming and crying that Google has disabled their adsense account, it’s really an interesting topic worthy to write about. You might be another one who just got the dreaded “invalid click” account closure email from Adsense team, and furious over it. Relax, mate.

Do You Keep Secrets From Your Spouse?


Can you say you’ve put yourself completely and fully into your marriage? Meaning you’re entirely committed, you totally trust, you’ve given all you have to give and hold nothing back? Could you claim there aren’t even any secrets that you keep from your spouse? Like a separate bank account they know nothing about? Or a secret shopping obsession that has you buying things and hiding them? Or having a friend you secretly talk to or meet up with?

5 Mistakes We Make When Dating A New Man


When women first begin dating a new man they tend to make mistakes that will eventually cause the relationship to end. These mistakes can easily be avoided if women will take the time and make the effort to avoid them. Staying in a relationship with someone that you are not honest with, who you will cancel all of your plans for, who you expect to change at some future point in time, who you think is just saying one thing when he really means another, who has bad behavior that you keep excusing – is not a good idea.
Here are 5 mistakes that women make when dating a man:

Technology And What It Means For The Next Generation


I’ve always been intrigued with what it means to be in a certain generation, since there are so many fun names for them: those born after World War II (ie. late 1940′s – 60′s) are called the Baby Boomers, while the last decade or so is called Generation Y and Generation Z, meaning the young children today.

Is It Really In The Eyes? Body Language Decoded.


Body language is a really important facet of communication, since it’s an expressive form of interaction that a simple text message can’t get across. Since technology has made face-to-face become smaller scale interaction compared to texting or IMing, people don’t see what others facial or body expressions as often. Although video chatting is a good way to remedy this in long distance situations, true in-your-face interaction is what gets across the most emotion and makes people comfortable around each other. It can be hard to decipher what the person’s really thinking unless you see their entire facial or body movements, therefore, knowing body language is an art and a valuable life skill.

5 Reasons Why Eye Contact Is Important


Have you ever realized how much one moment of locking eyes can mean? Try looking a stranger in the eye or even someone you know pretty well. Eyes are one of the best attributes of human expression because they can be direct and elusive, as well as show a million different emotions in just one look. Even one glance can tell you a lot about a person’s character, especially if a smile or smirk is thrown in. One thing that shy people have as a disadvantage is that they have trouble holding eye contact. It’s well known that in Western countries like the United States, giving those in power eye contact is revered. However, in Eastern countries, eye contact to those in power is viewed as rude and a sign of disrespect. It’s important to recognize these differences, since eye contact can mean many different things depending on the setting and the people locking eyes.
Why is it good to practice strong eye contact in your every day life?

16 Job Interview Tips To Put You Ahead Of The Pack

Job interviews are nerve-racking and an interview that goes badly can turn even the most confident person into a sobbing mess. Hopefully, these 16 tips will help put your mind at ease, and make your next job interview bearable, perhaps maybe even an enjoyable experience!
1. Be Confident.
It may seem obvious but confidence is definitely key. Even if your insides are like jello and you feel like you may throw up at any second, appear confident. Try not to look down at your lap, use too many ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’, or answer questions with only one word, such as ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

How to take screenshots of your BlackBerry screen

This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to take screenshots of your BlackBerry screens.
  1. Start out by downloading Caputre It from http://www.thetechmogul.com/CaptureIt/CaptureIt.jad. It’s an over the air installation, so I’ve created a “shorter” URL to type out in your BlackBerry browser: http://is.gd/8fsD.

How to download and install Themes on your BlackBerry

This tutorial will guide you all the way through installing themes – both “over the air” and manually, on your BlackBerry. Note: I am going to use a BlackBerry Pearl 8120 as an example, so the screenshots and exact steps in this tutorial are using that model.
First you’ll need to find a theme that you like.

Display Blackberry Signal Strength as a Number

Bars are for wimps! Be different and get in touch with your inner geek by displaying your wireless signal strength in decibels.
How many bars do you have? What does the number of bars actually mean? There are entire marketing campaigns by the wireless carriers about the bars that indicate the signal strength. But how does your device determine how many bars to throw up on your display?

How to remove the Facebook Chat sidebar

Facebook recently rolled out a change that now displays your “chat” menu across the right side of your screen. While lots of folks like the change, many don’t. This very brief tutorial will show you how to ‘hide’ that menu and revert to the previous style.
Note: the Facebook Chat Sidebar/menu will re-appear when you initiate a chat with one of your friends on Facebook. Repeat steps #2 and 3 to hide it again.
  1. The image below illustrates the ‘new’ Facebook Chat sidebar.
  2. To (temporarily) disable this sidebar, scroll to the bottom of your screen and locate the “cog” icon (see image below) and click it.
  3. Select Hide Sidebar from the list of options.
  4. Now your “Chat menu” will revert to its previous state – at the bottom of your screen in a much more unobtrusive location.
  5. That’s it, you’re done! Do remember – when you click the “chat” box now at the bottom of your screen, the entire Chat Sidebar will re-appear. This isn’t a permanent solution, it’s just one that will remove the Chat Sidebar for your general Facebook surfing.

Manage Multiple Gmail Accounts with Gmail Manager

At the risk of sounding greedy, I have five Gmail accounts. Hey, Google makes the rules, not me. Gmail accounts are free, and there's no limit on how many a single person can have. However, checking all those accounts gets to be pain, what with all the signing in and signing out.

Preview Gmail Messages Before Opening Them

For the past couple weeks I've been stuck using my Web browser to access my Gmail accounts, rather than my preferred method: Outlook. It gets the job done, but there's one thing about it that drives me nuts: no preview pane.
If I want to read an e-mail, I have to click it, then click again to go back to my inbox and find the next message I want to read. Wash, rinse, repeat. Come on, Google, it's 2011! How is it possible that there's no preview-pane option for Gmail?

How to Make Your Laptop Run Quieter and Cooler

Like desktops, laptops can suck up a ton of dust. And because everything in a laptop is packed together so tightly, dust is even more dangerous.
