CelebritiesQueen Of England Is Hospitalised by luckgood(op): 7:55pm On Mar 03, 2013
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, suffering from gastroenteritis, was admitted to hospital on Sunday, a Buckingham Palace spokesman told AFP.

All the 86-year-old's engagements for this week, including a visit to Rome, have been called off, the spokesman added.

"The Queen is being assessed at King Edward VII's Hospital in London after experiencing symptoms of gastroenteritis. As a precaution, all official engagements this week will be either postponed or cancelled," he said.

Britain's head of state is known for her robust health and devotion to duty, and rarely misses engagements.

The sovereign first felt unwell on Friday and cancelled a visit Saturday to a military celebration in the city of Swansea to mark St. David's Day, the national day of Wales.

Instead of that engagement, she had been spending the weekend resting at Windsor Castle, west of London.

That she was taken to the royals' regular hospital in central London suggests that her condition was not serious enough to warrant going to a hospital close to Windsor.

Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip were due to visit Rome on Wednesday and Thursday, when they were to meet Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.

The monarch celebrated her diamond jubilee in 2012, marking her 60 years on the throne. This year further ceremonies will be held to mark the six decades since her coronation in 1953.

RomanceFacts: 12 Reasons Why Girls Don't Date Nice Guys by luckgood(op): 1:16pm On Mar 01, 2013
Women say they want a nice guy, yet usually end up dating bad boys. Here’s why.

1. Not real. Nice guys are too nice. No one can always be that nice unless they’re a saint. They are busy being nice instead of being real and women instinctually don’t trust that. Bad boys “keep it real.” Nice guys don’t want to upset the apple cart.

2. Respect. No one respects a doormat. Nice guys don’t set boundaries or make any real demands. A bad boy doesn’t let a woman walk all over him or control him. Women can’t respect a man they can control. No respect equals no attraction.

3. Predictable. Most people lead boring, predictable lives, so they’re attracted to people who are exciting and a bit unpredictable. Bad boys are always a challenge. Nice guys are never a challenge. Predictable plus no excitement plus no challenge equals I prefer a bad boy.

4. Mother Nature. Women are designed to nurture. However, instead of doing this with children, they often end up doing it with bad boys. They think their love will save them. Nice guys rarely need to be saved.

5. Fixer-upper. Nice guys don’t usually need to be fixed. Bad boys usually do, so they become a project. Women think if they can “create” the perfect man, he will never leave them. Also, if they’re busy fixing someone else, they don’t have to look at what needs to be fixed in their own lives.

6. Sperm wars. Women are designed to procreate with the strongest possible genes. Bad boys are sending an unconscious message that they have great genes, so they’re not afraid of losing the woman by misbehaving. Nice guys are sending a message that they don’t think their genes are good enough, so they won’t misbehave.

7. Fear of intimacy. If a woman is afraid of intimacy, she subconsciously knows she can avoid it with a bad boy, since she can never get close enough to him to have to go there. A nice guy will eventually want a commitment, and that’s scary.

8. Low self-esteem: We don’t feel comfortable with people who treat us better than we treat ourselves. If you don’t think much of yourself, the bad boy is simply reinforcing your negative belief. A nice guy is treating you in a way you’re not familiar with.

9. s*x. Women feel a nice guy won’t be good in bed. They sometimes like to be manhandled and think a nice guy won’t be able to take control and get the job done. A bad boy comes across as being able to deliver, even though that may not always be the case.

10. Hot. Have you ever seen a bad boy who wasn’t hot? I’m sure there are a few, but they wouldn’t be able to get away with half the stuff they did if they didn’t look so good. Meanwhile, when a woman describes someone as a nice guy, she means, “He’s not hot.”

11. Charm. Nice guys don’t always know what to say and are sometimes at a loss for words. Bad boys can be very charming and know exactly what women want to hear. However, they eventually switch over to being selfish. By the time they reveal their true colors, the woman has fallen for them and has a hard time letting go.

12. Protection. Historically, men have protected women — physically and otherwise. Bad boys give the illusion of being able to protect women, while with nice guys, women aren’t so sure. Life is about balance. Most men fall into either the bad boy or the nice guy category. The ideal man is neither, but walks that fine line between the two. Until men learn how to do this, more often than not, women will choose the bad boy, until they realize that his bad qualities outweigh his good ones.

Jobs/VacanciesTips On How To Get A Pay Rise by luckgood(op): 12:10pm On Feb 28, 2013
1. Set up a meeting with your boss

First of all make an appointment to have a chat with your boss. This is a much better approach than mentioning your pay rise request on the spur of the moment or in a casual setting. And it will also show that you're serious about your request.
2. List the things you do

Denise Taylor, author of 'How to get a job in a recession', advises employees to do some preparation and research before the meeting in order to achieve the best result.

“The research needs to include being clear on what you are doing in your job and also what other people earn for similar sorts of work,” she explains.

“When you first took on the job you probably took a few weeks to learn the job and as the months have gone by you have got better. Think about how things have changed and if you are doing more work or have you taken on extra tasks - such as doing a financial summary each week or taking on more managerial duties.

Go through and make a note of all the extra things you now do. You can then use this in your negotiation with your boss.”
3. Offer to take on more

If you’re not doing much above and beyond your job description, offer to do so. Ask whether you can take on more responsibility or mentor a junior member of staff to justify your request for a pay rise.
4. Know what you can ask for

So how much should you ask for? Don’t be afraid to start off with a high figure. Your boss is unlikely to agree straight away but may well meet you in the middle. If possible find out what colleagues doing the same job are earning or what rival companies are offering.

Websites such as benchmarkmypay.co.uk and totaljobs.com/salarychecker tell you the average salary for your role or profession.
5. Use other offers to negotiate

If you’ve been headhunted or have a job offer from a rival firm, don’t be afraid to use it as a negotiating tool. However, don’t threaten to leave if you don’t get more money unless you’re genuinely happy to move on.
6. Other perks

If your company can’t offer you more cash, ask for other benefits. These could be things like more annual leave, flexible working, gym membership or private health care.
7. Schedule in a pay review

Marielena Sabatier, chief executive of Inspiring Potential, a company that specialises in helping people reach their potential at work, says not to take the rejection personally if your request is turned down.

How to negotiate redundancy

“If you don't get a pay rise it could be for a number of reasons - there might be two or three others performing better than you are or the decision could be purely financial,” she says.

“The best way of handling rejection is to see it as an opportunity to learn and improve your skills. Be open to any feedback from your boss, in fact, ask for it so you have an opportunity to learn where you could improve - this is the secret of career development and to ensuring future promotions and pay rises."

If you've been turned down, also ensure you ask if you can have another pay review in a couple of months' time and in the meantime try to improve on any feedback you had from your boss.

RomanceRe: When A Man Is In Love by luckgood(m): 9:04am On Feb 24, 2013
mentorken05: When a guy is in love, it's no simple thing.
Guys don't get butterflies, dey get
fireworks. He might not have you in his
mind 24/7, but he does have you in his
hearts. Often, yeah he waits for you to go
online, sometimes simply when he just sees that you're online, it makes his hearts skip a
beat, even if u don't end up talking.
Whenever you talk to him, his face forms that
half-smile; it means he is happy but is
trying his hardest not to show it and he fails
at hiding it. He does miss you all the time, granted, he'll spend all his time with you if
possible. He thinks of the smallest
things you say, panicking at every single
word, trying to define what it really means,
to read between the lines. But, wait.. there's
more.

He would love you a million ways. And once
He starts loving you, there is no going back
for us. No matter how hard he tries, he will
always love the girl that has truly touched
Him. Guys, when in love, will think of that
girl first thing in the morning, & think of that girl last before he sleeps at night.
Whenever he sees a couple, his thoughts
immediately jump to that girl, & imagine
that the couple was them. Every single detail
about her is loved; the way she walks, talks,
speaks. The sound of her voice. Her laughter. The sparkle in her eyes. Her shy
smile. The way she dresses. That cute face
she makes when she's asleep. & the way
she says his name that his hearts just
explode with mirth, a simple act that no one
else can replicate.

Though women stereotype guys to be
simple, a man in love is not simple. No, he
will be unpredictable. He will be persistent,
stubborn, & given the circumstances, if it
means carrying you from one side of the
world to the other to win your heart, a man in love would. He will be a martyr, giving his
all & asking for almost nothing in return. He
will show you how to appreciate the beauty
of the world in a thousand ways, & then he
will tell you how much he appreciates your
beauty in a million ways
This is what I currently have for my babe..I can even jump off the train for her. I am a Nigerian.

RomanceThings That Make Man To Be More Powerful Than woman by luckgood(op): 9:01pm On Feb 09, 2013
THE POWER OF A MAN:

A man has the power to love a woman in a special way that she has never been loved, & yet hurt her with the same intensity.

A man has the power to treat a woman like a queen & then turn around & make her wish she was never born.

A man has the power to make a woman cry with happiness & joy, then turn around & make her cry with hurt & anger.

A man has the power to let a woman feel free & wanted, but also feel disgusted & unworthy.

A man has the power to look a woman in her face & tell her he loves her, but turn around & sleep with her best friend.

A man has the power to make you fall in-love with him within days, & hate him within minutes.

During sex a man has the power to make a woman feel like she’s in heaven, & afterwards makes her feel like a LovePeddler.

A man has the power to change a woman from having goals, to living out his goals instead of her own.

Why is it that men have such power? They have so much power, because ladies give it to us. The power of a man wouldn't mean anything without a woman. So ladies when times are hard between you & your man & you realize that he treats you bad, remember that he can only do what you allow him to do to you!!!

RomanceWomen Are The Most Pwerful And Amazing Being by luckgood(op): 3:56pm On Feb 06, 2013
GIRLS! LADIES!! WOMEN!!!

Women are a precious gift from God but there are some things that all men need to know. Women are by far the deeper and more powerful of the two sexes. No matter how strong a man thinks he is, he is like butter in the hands of a woman that he loves. It is only a woman that can carry a child for nine months and raise that child to adulthood and yet until the day that that woman dies only she will know the real father of that child. Women are more discerning than men, more calculating, more thoughtful, more spiritual, more loyal, and more disciplined and they can handle emotional pain and psychological torture far better than men. A woman can suffer trauma, deprivation, shame, sheer cruelty and beatings from a man and still stay with him simply for the sake of the children. A woman can do anything and take anything for, or from, a man that she truly loves. A woman can be the most vicious and dangerous of all God's creatures when she is hurt and scorned and when her love is not returned.
A woman can kill a man that she has lived with all her life, simply because he never returned her love and a woman can kill for or die for a man who loves her and stands by her through thick and thin. If you are rich, pretend that you are poor to a woman and you will know her true nature. If you are poor, pretend that you are rich to a woman and you will know what she is really after. A woman that abandons a man when he is going through difficulties is not worth taking back when those challenges have been overcome. Beware of a woman's love, for at the slightest hurt, it can turn to hate. Women gossip and talk, yet a woman keeps deeper secrets than any man.

When a woman says "no" she actually means "maybe" and when she says "maybe" she actually means "yes". You cannot police a woman or really know her movements for she can be the greatest deceiver: if she really wants to play, she will go ahead and play and no matter the efforts that her man makes, it is only by divine intervention that he will ever know. A woman is moved by touch whilst a man is moved by sight. A woman will die for her children and guard her home with all she has. A woman craves for security and commitment above all else and without these two she cannot truly be happy. A woman gives, a woman takes, a woman laughs, a woman cries, yet through all this only she alone knows what is really in her heart. A woman can heave and moan in the throes of orgasmic passion, yet deep down she feels nothing at all but pity and contempt for the lover that she is deceiving. A woman can lie still and say she feels nothing yet her heart trembles and races and her senses come alive and quiver deeply just at the sound and by the touch of the man that she truly desires. That is a woman for you: they can be a snare or a blessing. They can bring joy or pain. They can wound or they can heal. They are a beautiful contradiction of love and hate and we men simply cannot live without them.

A woman is irrepressable, unbeatable,unfathomable, irresistible and unknowable and my advice to every man is to cherish her, to love her and to grant her, her hearts deepest desires. That is the secret to a woman's heart and what more is there to say, other than for us to admit that the woman is the true hero of our lives and to simply agree that we must appease and worship them and do all we can to keep those pretty smiles on their beautiful yet dangerous faces.

Who can stand the power of a womanhuh

Lot of people attend church today for their own selfish interest.Some attend for bizness purposes while some attend to catch with old and new boddies.The real crux of offering a true worship to God is not paramount in today's 9ja churches. It's expedient to be in the assemblies of believers but it doesn't have to be in a church or cathedral.
