How to change Facebook Notifications Settings

This was tough to find. I stopped looking for it at some point but found it today while looking for something else. Here's how to change Facebook notifications:

1. Click on the blue World icon in the upper right corner:

2. Click on Settings in the upper right corner of the box that pops up.
3. Click on Desktop and Mobile.

Here you can Turn On/Off notifications here like:

• Comments on posts you're tagged in
• Comments on friends timelines you're tagged in
• Posts you're tagged in
• Updates to an event you've joined
• See your notifications in the corner of your computer screen, even when Facebook is closed

If your Fitbit Charge HR is no longer syncing - this works!

After doing this, my Fitbit Charge HR immediately began synching again:

1. Plug your charging cable into the USB port and insert the other end into the port on the back of your Fitbit Charge HR™. Your Charge HR will begin charging.
2. Press and hold the button for 10 to 12 seconds until you see the Fitbit icon and a version number (e.g. "V30"). (Mine started shooting green light rays out the back, FYI)
3. Let go of the button.
4. Unplug your tracker from the charging cable.

Mixt Green's Maui Salad Ingredients

If you miss Mixt Green's Maui salad as much as I do, here at least are the ingredients, via an old menu of theirs I found online.

The Salad:

butter lettuce, coriander-crusted ahi tuna, avocado, mango, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, shiso, mango citrus vinaigrette, topped with toasted macadamic nuts

Mango Citrus Vinaigrette:

Blend Rice Wine Vinegar, OJ, Lime juice, honey, dijon, mango chunks, pepper, garlic, olive oil poured in slowly to emulsify.

Of course no amounts are here, so you'll need to experiment! If you do, we'd love to hear.

Update 8/2017:

Recipe found!

Maui // Serves 4

Dressing:

1/2 cup mango puree

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

1/2 cup canola oil

salt and freshly ground pepper

Salad Ingredients:

1 cucumber

4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks

salt and freshly ground pepper

4 tablespoons crushed coriander seeds

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 heads butter lettuce

1 large hass avocado, sliced

1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced

2 ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded & julienned

1 red onion, finely diced

1 bunch basil, leaves picked

1/2 cup crushed macadamia nuts

Preparation:

To make the dressing, combine mango puree, vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, garlic sauce, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until smooth, then slowly add oil in a stream and blend again. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Peel cucumber, slice in half lengthwise, then run a spoon down the middle and scoop out the seeds. Slice into half moons. Season each tuna steak with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of crushed coriander. Press spices onto each steak to ensure coating sticks while cooking. Heat saute pan over high heat, add canola oil. When it reaches smoking point, sear tuna on all sides (about 6 seconds total). Slice each steak into 3 large pieces and set aside. To plate, gently toss butter lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, mango, onion, cucumber and basil leaves with desired amount of dressing. Top with tuna and macadamia nuts.

PC doesn't find my Wi-fi

This worked for me and maybe it'll work for you. I simply unplugged the Wi-fi, waited for about a minute, then plugged it back. I can now see my Wi-fi.
