Facebook Indexing: Will Facebook Index All Your Info on Google?

If you've logged into Facebook recently, you've likely been notified of Facebook's new privacy changes. So do these changes mean Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google? Apparently not. 

Facebook has posted the following message on its site: 

"There have been misleading rumors recently about Facebook indexing all your information on Google. This is not true. Facebook created public search listings in 2007 to enable people to search for your name and see a link to your Facebook profile."

If you're not interested in having people search for your name on Facebook, you can change your settings to prevent Facebook from indexing your name.

So what can you do to stop your Facebook profile from indexing on Google? Here are some brief instructions:

  

If you don't want search engines like Google and Bing to index your profile, do yourself a favor and make sure those settings are still set the way you want them to be. To adjust your search privacy settings click on Settings>Privacy Settings>Search. If the "Allow indexing" box is checked then search engines will be able to index your information.

Monster 19-point taken in CNY

I found this article on Syracuse.com yesterday & I would just like to congratulate my old Friend Mike on harvesting this magnificent whitetail right here in CNY. Good job Mikey, most of us hunters can only dream of seeing a deer like this one.

Submitted photoMike Smiley poses with his 19-point, non-typical buck he shot recently on land in the town of Van Buren near Baldwinsville.

He shot it with a muzzleloader at 92 yards. He said he was on his way out of the woods when two does appeared, with this buck not far behind.

Smiley said the deer was estimated to be 5 1/2 years old. It dressed out at 155 pounds. The deer's non-typical rack had 13 points on one side; 6 on the other. It's final "green" antler score was 178 5/8 (its gross was 185 7/8).

He said the antlers were scored by Dallas Sumner of Baldwinsville. "Dallas also showed me the whitetail record book of New York State 14th edition," he said. "According to my green score it would fall second in the muzzleloader non-typical for New York State."

Petition against New Plates for New York State

Dear Friend,


     Thank you for joining my petition at www.NoNewPlates.com to oppose Albany’s new license plate mandate.
     Over 45,000 of our neighbors and motorists from throughout the state have now joined the effort, and your comments confirm my belief that this new mandate was a needless tax on Upstate families and businesses, and comes at the wrong time.
Here’s just a few examples of the comments I’ve received:
Says one young family from Canton, “My husband is losing his job next month. We have two kids under the age of 3. $50 will take food from their mouths.”
Or the senior citizen, who says, “No COLA this year in my Social Security. Even $25 is another hit against my income. Where does it stop?”
And from a small business owner—with 59 registered vehicles, each of which will require new, $25 plates—“Have all the people in Albany gone nuts?”
Due to your overwhelming response, I have decided to extend the petition to allow more New Yorkers the opportunity to sign. I encourage you to send this message and link to your family and friends.
     I have also shared this idea with my fellow Clerks in counties across Upstate, and many of them are mounting similar efforts.
Together, we’ll send a message to the supporters of this ridiculous plan—including the only North Country representatives who voted for it, Sen. Aubertine and Assemblywoman Russell—that New Yorkers are fed up with higher taxes and needless mandates.
Thank you for joining me in this effort.




Patty Ritchie
St. Lawrence County Clerk

New York State's unveils new license plate design

Last Update: 3:38 pm

A look at the new license plates that will replace the current ones in 2010. (WSYR NewsChannel 9 ) What do you think of the new NY State License Plates Love them! Hate them Don't care Great, just another fee Albany (WSYR-TV) – The State Department of Motor Vehicles Tuesday unveiled the new “Empire Gold” license plate which will be issued to most vehicles registered in the state beginning in April.  The new plate is gold in color with dark blue letters and numbers in the central part of the plate, separated by a small dark blue state silhouette. There is a dark blue banner across the length of the top of the plate, with “New York” printed in gold in the center. “Empire State” is in dark blue letters across the bottom. Officials say the new plate will bring in an expected $129 million in revenue over the next two years. "This project will benefit law enforcement efforts, and therefore enhance public safety, in several ways," said Denise E. O'Donnell, Deputy Secretary for Public Safety and Commissioner of the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. "For instance, nearly 300 police agencies in New York State are currently deploying approximately 500 computerized license plate readers (LPRs) that enable authorities to quickly identify vehicles that have been stolen or used in a crime. These new plates will ensure that the LPRs are as effective as possible." The DMV will begin issuing the new plates for registration renewals that expire in May 2010. Customers renewing their vehicle registrations in person in a DMV office, over the phone, by mail or through the Internet, will receive their new Empire Gold plates in the mail. Customers completing an original over-the-counter registration transaction will receive their plates immediately. The replacement will take place as part of scheduled vehicle registration and renewal and will take two years to complete. There are currently 12 million registered vehicles in New York State. A plate fee of $25.00 will be added to the registration renewal fee. Single plate registrations (e.g. motorcycles) will be charged a plate fee of $12.50. The most recent New York license plate design was issued in 2001.

Google Voice User? Get The Quick Reference Card

If you’re a Google Voice user like me, you’ll be glad to print out this quick reference card that gives you all the menu options when you call the service to listen to voicemail or change settings, or receive calls.

For example, when you receive a call with Google Voice you can hear who’s calling before you answer. Hit 1 to answer the call, or hit 2 to send them to voicemail. Easy to remember. But you can also hit 3 to send them to voicemail and listen in. Or 4 to answer the call and record it. Four is too many things for me to remember, which is why I’m printing this out and putting it in my wallet.
