And... But... How to tell if you'll last with your guy!

Researchers from Northwestern University say if you count up how many times you and your man use the words and, but, and for in a conversation, you'll know your compatability. If the number of times he says those words is close to the number of times you say them, there's a high chance that you're a good match. Quite a random study on relationship compatibility if you ask me, but hey, students need something to do!

So how'd they come to this conclusion? They observed 187 subjects speed dating and correctly predicted which couples would be a match at the end of the event. They also read instant message conversations and again, made accurate predictions, this time about who would be together after three months and who wouldn't. And lastly, the team analyzed letters between famous couples, such as Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, and the similarities or lack of similarities of small word use in their exchanges backed up the researchers' conclusions.

A REAL Terminator Eye? Sweet!

Scientists have developed a prototype contact lens that could one day provide us with texts, emails, even the news! It would simply appear in front of our eyes, generated by a computerised contact lens.

It could also be used to display directions and TV programmes.

The lenses, which would be inserted and removed like normal contacts, could also be handy if you are outdoors, allowing you to zoom in on distant views. (Which could also be creepy in my opinion.)

The thought of all this info right infront of our eyes makes me wonder how our brains would handle it, but researchers insist all the components are tiny and the normal field of vision will not be obstructed.

Just a few questions from me:
How do you turn it off and on? Will it be 3D (and possibly cause dizziness and other side-effects people get from 3D)? How will police be able to monitor this for drivers?

Plus! A bionic eye that could restore the sight to the blind is being tested on Britons. Small-scale trials on the Continent have already produced ‘quite astonishing’ results. The tiny implantable microchip allowed men and women who thought they would never be able to see again to read a clock and identify everyday objects. Nifty!

Surprising things that give ya Headaches!

Ever been struck by an awful headache and not known why? Maybe your high heels or even a ham sandwich could be the cause.

However if they're severe and very frequent please consult a doctor.

Mobile Phones - With smartphones becoming widely used to do everything from checking emails to reading books and watching TV shows, the small screens are putting our eyes under great strain which leads to headaches.

Lack of Sleep - Over 1,200 migraine sufferers were tested in a study at the Headache Center of Atlanta where they found that those who slept for about six hours a night or less were more likely to suffer from more frequent and severe headaches than those who had more sleep.

High Heels -While there may not be any scientific or biological evidence that wearing high heels can trigger a migraine, muscular tension that heels put on your back can lead to migraines.

Ponytails - Sure it's great when you're having a bad hair day but a tight ponytail or even braids and headbands can strain the connective tissue in the scalp causing pain.

Jogging - Known as 'exertion headaches', any type of physical exertion, such as jogging or pounding a treadmill, causes blood vessels in the head, neck and scalp to swell, producing a build-up in pressure.

Sex - Although quite rare this type of headache is known as a coital headache, where sharp pain in the head occurs almost instantaneously at the moment of orgasm.

Ham - Food triggers are notorious for bringing on a migraine and it might surprise you to know that ham is one of them. Ham contains tyramine, which is a compound known as an amine found in many foods, produced from the natural breakdown of the amino acid, tyrasine. Tyramine can cause blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow to the brain, triggering headaches.

Going to the Hair Dresser - Having your hair washed lying back over a basin puts your neck in an awkward position which stimulates one of the nerves that brings on a dull headache that could last a couple of days.

Perfume - Strong odours activate the nose's nerve cells, this in turn stimulates the nerve system associated with head pain causing headaches to those with a strong sense of smell.

Coughing - This type of headache is caused by the build-up of pressure in the brain and can be triggered by not only coughs but things like blowing your nose or even sneezing.

Moustache Need-to-Knows!

Did you know? ... Seven-time Olympic gold medal winner Mark Spitz grew a moustache in college because his coach told him he couldn't. It took him four months and became a personal accomplishment.

Moustache Experts rank Sam Elliot's the BEST EVER. Writers Jon Chattman and Rich Tarantino spent years researching moustaches to pick only the top-notched lip sweaters for their book Sweet 'Stache: 50 Badass Moustaches and the Faces Who Sport Them. Their highly scientific ‘stache analysis considers a moustache’s cultural relevance, hair quality, style, length, creativity, and ranks it on a scale from 1 to 10. Sam Elliots graying mutton-chop lip scores the book’s only perfect 10.

The oldest portrait of a 'Stache is from 300 BC. While shaving with stone razors dates back to Neolithic times, the oldest image of a man with a moustache is a Scythian horseman from 300 B.C. The art piece, appropriately titled “Horseman,” is a Pazyryk felt artifact of a horseman with a thick, upward-curving moustache and partially shaved head.

The World Beard and Moustache Association holds a competition to honor the top international facial hair! Competitors can enter the moustache categories: Natural Moustache, English, Dali, Imperial Moustache, Hungarian, and Freestyle.
There is also a Partial Beard division:
Natural Goatee, Chinese, Musketeer, Imperial, Sideburns Freestyle, and Partial Beard Freestyle.
And a Full Beard category: Verdi, Garibaldi, Natural Full Beard, Natural Full Beard with Styled Moustache, and Full Beard Freestyle.

According to the Guinness World Records 2009, Badamsinh Juwansinh Gurjar of India holds the record for longest moustache. His moustache measures a staggering 12.5 feet and has been growing it for 29 years! Another Indian, Ram Singh Chauhan of Rajasthan, registered a moustache at 11.5 feet and Kalyan Ramji Sain started growing his in 1976. By 1993, it reached a span of 11.1 feet. It seems like moustache growing is India’s national pastime.

5 Photos to keep to Yourself

I've noticed a lot of people posting inappropriate pictures on facebook. This doesn't just include nude ones, but ones users don't realize could actually harm them! So here's the 5 worst photos to post from Upgrade Your Life.

1. Don't post pictures showing personal data

Strangers and hackers aren't the only threat; people you know can steal your identity, too.

* Don't post any images with any identifying information whatsoever. No driver's licenses, marriage certificates, leases, or passports. You may think that's obvious, but do an image search and you'll see plenty of newly married couples, proud teen drivers, and world travelers posting high resolution pics of their documents.
* Even if you think your photos are private, more people might be able to see them than you think. On Facebook, friends of friends might be able to see photos tagged of you, if the photo's owner has the setting enabled.

2. Disable location services and geotagging

Cameras are increasingly sophisticated — even the ones on your phones. As you snap pictures, many cameras record information called EXIF data or metadata, including the camera's make & model, settings like speed and aperture, and the time the photo was taken. While much of this is helpful, it's just good for you to know you may be posting this info with a photo. Probably the biggest issue with embedded photo data is geotagging: when a GPS-enabled camera, memory card, or cell phone camera pinpoints your exact location in the metadata — even without your knowledge. Some social networking services strip that data out, but others include it — which mean you've essentially posted your home address online for anyone who knows how to view the geotagging data.

If your device includes this geodata as the default option, you'll need to disable it in your settings. If you're working with a point-and-shoot camera or a DSLR, you can find this through the settings menu on your camera — just look for a menu mentioning "geotagging," "location" or "geodata" and to be sure the feature isn't enabled.

Turn off geotagging on Android and iPhone
To disable geotagging on an Andriod device, open the camera app and be sure the "geo-tag photos" box in the settings menu is unchecked. On an iPhone, hit the settings icon, click on "location services" from the menu, find "Camera" and move the slider from On to Off.

3. Incriminating photos

Employers are increasingly hopping on the web to research potential new hires. Many businesses search the web for information about their prospective or current employees. Now, background checking companies like Social Intelligence Corp. have capitalized on this kind of job vetting. The FTC recently ruled that such companies can store your long-deleted online indiscretions for up to 7 years!

* Resist the urge to post "party photos" on social networks. And yes that means no pics with the red keg cup in hand, even if you were only drinking water.
* Keep the way you'd like to be perceived professionally in mind when choosing a profile picture.
* If friends tag you in an incriminating Facebook photo, untag yourself!

4. Cut out poorly cropped photos

While it's no security risk, there's little reason to choose Facebook profile photo with a stray arm or shoulder in it. If you're looking to meet people online on a dating site or social network, make the effort to choose a profile that features you, without the distraction of half of someone else in the picture. That someone else could distract anyone who looks at your profile — who is it? Where was it taken? Is that your ex? But keeping the focus on you is easy, thanks to free apps.

Improve your photos with these free tools
Photos editing services like Piknik or DrPic, can make cropping a snap. There's no need to use Microsoft Paint to edit a photo — if you need to tinker around with a shot, use one of these free services.

And pick an interesting one — you'll be far more likely to strike up a conversation with a potential match if your photo shows you doing something interesting, like playing the guitar or scuba diving.

5. Avoid webcam profile photos

To get a good shot of yourself, you're better off using any kind of point-and-shoot camera, a DSLR for the best image quality, or even your phone.

For a flattering outdoor photo, avoid the high-noon sun. Instead either take your own photo — or better yet, recruit a friend's help — during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

What your doodles say about you!

Emotional people who want harmony and crave affection tend to use rounded shapes and curved lines. Down-to-earth, practical types tend to use straight lines and squares. Determined people will use corners, zigzags and triangles, while more hesitant types use light, sketchy strokes.

A large doodle shows a person is confident and outgoing, while a small one suggests the person prefers to observe rather than participate.

If you tend to draw...

Faces

The expression on a doodled face is often a good indication of the mood or character of the person who has drawn it. A nicely drawn, good-looking face suggests you see the good in others. If you sketch weird or ugly faces, you are probably mistrustful.

Comic faces demonstrate a desire to be the centre of attention. Child-like doodles of faces suggest neediness. Profiles indicate you’re an introvert.

Checker Board

The black and white chequerboard doodle suggests patience and persistence. Perhaps you are weighing-up various options regarding a tricky situation?

It’s also the favourite doodle of people who are prone to mood swings.

Flowers

Soft, rounded petals around a circular flower centre suggest an amiable, family-centric person.

If the centre of your flower is a circle, but your petals are pointy, you are probably hiding a warm heart behind a prickly defensiveness.

If you doodle a bunch of perky-looking flowers you are likely to be sociable. Drooping flower heads, on the other hand, indicate you’re burdened by worry.

Hearts

Obviously a romantic doodle. Drawing a heart indicates you’re in love with love.

Intricate Patterns

Busy, highly-detailed doodles are often drawn by people with an obsessive nature, who simply will not let go of their ambitions or loved ones. This type of drawing is often a favourite with extreme introverts.

Stairs and Ladders

Symbols of ambition and a willingness to work your way methodically ‘up the ladder’ in life, drawings of stairs and ladders also often indicate you have an important, long-term task in hand. They can represent a spiritual quest, too, perhaps a desire to be happier or more relaxed.
