CANADA - Big Brother's gets social media info without a warrant

Now, those crazy Conservatives want to allow cops to be able to access all of our online and cell data WITHOUT A WARRANT!

They say it's to protect children from predators and if we don't agree with their bill, we stand with the predators. Sounds a lot like that other wacko from down south telling the world that those who didn't stand with the USA against Iraq were against the USA.

Those right wingers will say anything to get people to support their crooked ways.

Can you imagine cops being able to snoop on any one of us at anytime? How about the cop who is a spouse abuser looking to see who his wife is taking too. Or, the kid at the ISP who just snoops for kicks and gets sensitive info on neighbors. I could go on and on.

Im all for access to the information to catch bad guys but no other democratic country in the world allows this to happen without a warrant.

When will people learn that nothing good ever comes to working people by voting Conservative/Republican?

Here's the scoop..

And we're back

Google (owners of Blogger) went nuts on me and cut me off from my Blogger and Youtube site.

I have no idea why and they never tell you. there one day and gone the next.

Took a long time to get it all back and didn't get a notice. I just clicked on my Gmail account and there they were.

Don't know how much I'll be posting now that I have other things going on.

My first book should be available for Kindle and Itunes soon and my new Giving site is coming along well

Ocular migraines and dehydration

.
Every once in a while I get Ocular migraines. No headache just weird zig zag lines in my left eye. For no particular reason, I thought I might be dehydrated. I took my BP and discovered it was lower than usual AND my heart rate was up. When that happens, I know I am dehydrated.

So, I got on the web and did some research. Turns out, dehydration is a cause of migraines. Withing a few minutes of drinking two large glasses of water, my symptoms were almost gone.

If you suffer from migraines, you might want to try it. Water beats drugs hands down

Now, I just hope I remember this the next time it happens.

14 Ways to Expand Your Influence

If you're always putting on an act/show because you're afraid of what others MIGHT think of the REAL you, you'll never make true friends or build a solid business.

Be REAL and you'll make great, long lasting friendships as well as grow a strong business.

1 - Understand It
First you have to recognize that regardless of your position, you have influence on the lives of those around you. Sometimes we don't realize the impact we have on others directly or indirectly but recognizing that we do and conducting ourselves accordingly is key.

2 - Be a Person of Integrity and of Values
Let who you say you are be reflected in all that you do. Stay consistent. Don’t take short cuts. Make a stand for your brand and give others an example to follow. Values determine your actions which ultimately determine your influence.

3 - Be Authentic and Transparent
Don’t put on a show. Be real. Be honest. Trust is built that way and trust amplifies influence.

4 - Accept Responsibility
Don’t make excuses. If you are at fault, accept the blame and do it proactively. Being a leader doesn’t mean being perfect. Learn from mistakes and show others the way.

9 Ways To Manage People Who Bother You

They're everywhere....at home....at work...at school. People who just rub you the wrong way.

Lifehack has some very simple tips for dealing with them.

1. You can only change yourself.
When dealing with people, always remember that it’s not about changing others, but about changing yourself. You can try to change others, but you may not succeed doing so. The best way to address the situation is to change how you perceive it and how you react to it. By changing that, everything else will subsequently change as well.

2. Draw your boundaries.
Be clear on what you will tolerate and what you will not tolerate. Then stick with it. You have your own personal space and it’s your perogative to protect your space. By drawing the boundaries, even if just mentally, you are clearer of the kind of behaviors to expect from others. If you don’t do so, it’s easy for you to be pushed over by others, especially since such people tend not to be conscious of personal boundaries. You’ll wind up shrinking in a corner and feeling miserable, and you wouldn’t want that.

3. Be upfront about where you stand.
If the person has a history of spilling into your personal space, then let him/her know where you stand the next time you communicate. People aren’t mind readers, and sometimes they may not be aware that they are infringing on your space. Giving the person some indicators will help. If he/she tends to take up a lot of your time, then let him/her know that you have XX minutes at the onstart of the conversation. That way, you are being fair by informing him/her in advance. If you prefer to communicate via email/text/chat/other channels, then let him/her know too.
