Think You’re Dating A Lying Liar? Here Are 5 Terrific Tips To Help You Discover The Truth

Monday, April 7th, 2008

By Conner O’Seanery You’ve met a guy with the eyes of an angel, a smile that makes Ryan Seacrest’s grill look like a barbecue pit, a tongue of sweet silver, and a set of abs that could grate — and melt — a slab of Gouda. He’s outgoing, and going places. Best of all, he says he wants you to come along for the ride. He can talk the talk, and you love what you’re hearing. You feel his irresistible tug pulling you off your feet … Whoa, honey, put on the brakes! Not to throw a bucket of cold water on your hottie, but how do you know your guy is dishing the truth? After all, the most attractive and outgoing people tend to be the most effective liars — especially when the pressure’s on. Is your man displaying the tell-tale signs of deception in the way he talks? Not sure? Then read on to discover whether you should leap head-over-heels into his arms … or keep your feet planted firmly on the ground. 5 Tips for Spotting the Verbal Slips of a Liar 1. Expansion & Contraction: A liar tends to expand contractions. “I wasn’t up all night surfing those triple-X websites” becomes “I was not up all night surfing those triple-X websites,” with an indignant look thrown in for good measure. Or “I didn’t call you because I was busy reading The Bible” becomes “I did not call you because I was busy reading The Bible.” This liar thinks his high-falutin’ King’s English will convince you he’s telling the truth. But if that ain’t the way he usually talks, somethin’ ain’t right. He could be hiding some dirty laundry — or dirty Internet habits. 2. Pause and Insert Here: A liar may pause and insert lots of odd, non-word sounds into his speech to fill the uncomfortable silence: “Ah, I know I should have called, but, er, I couldn’t tear myself from my, um, mother’s side. Oh, she’s been really sick lately and, um, and I … duh.” Ah, er, um, oh and sometimes duh are this liar’s vowels. 3. Clumsy Is as Clumsy Does: A liar can be as clumsy with his words as former president Gerald Ford was with his footwork. Mistakes in grammar, verb tenses and other train-of-thought derailments might indicate deception. Or they might indicate he holds the current Office of President. Its just so hard to tell nowadays. 4. Listen Carefully: A liar tends to use fewer first-person words such as “I” or “my” in his speech and writing. Using a text analysis program, Dr. James Pennebaker of the University of Texas and Dr. Dianne Berry of SMU discovered certain language patterns can predict when someone’s hiding the truth. Emotional words like “hurt” and “angry” are used less frequently when a person’s shoveling manure from a sitting position, as are cognitive words such as “understand” or “realize.” So, grab your tape recorder and start the interrogation! 5. What’s in a Name?: A liar might use pronouns instead of actual names, hoping to add a bit of emotional distance to his lie. Of course, if your guy always dwells in a vapor of distraction, the lack of names might be par for the course.

Healthy Diet Plan for Summer

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

By Bill Nadraszky Well it is that time of year again, you are a little pale and the spare tire is a little bit bigger than it was in the fall and now you want to lose some weight and look better in those skin showing summer clothes. What you need is a plan and a bit of a change in schedule. Here is a simple list of things that you can do starting today to make sure that you are buff and ready as the summer and summer activities come in a couple of months. Eat Smarter The key to a healthy diet plan is to eat smarter than before. Over the winter you may have been eating a little badly, keeping on track but cheating. Now is the time to start eating in a very structured and focused way. No matter how you have been eating you must now start eating every couple or three hours. Really this just means toad snacks, good for you snacks. Lets say that you eat breakfast at 8, lunch at 12, dinner at 6. Now all you have to do is add snacks (really just smaller meals) at 10 am, 3 pm and 8 pm. Now you must be wondering, what you should be eating. The next important thing is to be sure to eat smaller meals and small snacks. The idea of eating so often is that your body will be better able to use the food that you are eating and a side effect of this is that it will raise your metabolism. Raise the protein, drop the carbohydrates What you eat is the next thing that is important. You should get a good idea of what is a carb based food and what is a protein based food and we all know what is fatty and these high fat foods should be avoided when you are trying to lose weight. I said that you need to eat small meals but most importantly you need to make sure that you have lots of protein and less carbohydrates than you are used to. This may be initially harder than you expect but in the end this adjustment will pay great dividends in having a healthy diet plan for summer. Stay hydrated when you exercise and when you dont When you are working out you will want to of course drink water and sports drinks so that you can keep not only your liquids up but the magic of sports drinks like Gatorade is that they bring back the electrolytes that you are losing by sweating. Getting dehydrated will drop your energy and in the end will stop your body from functioning normally. These steps to a healthy diet plan will make a big difference this spring and summer to make you healthier and more fit. Bill Nadraszky is passionate about health and fitness.

Using Your Mobile Phone Whilst Abroad (Add-On Services)

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gary_Parsons]Gary Parsons Many of us regard our mobile phones to be an essential item, especially when travelling abroad. Even more important for the business minded of us who need to be contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no matter where in the world we are. It is also important for those of us who travel regularly, perhaps on frequent holidays or to visit family in other countries. Many alternatives exist; whether arranging with your operator to activate a roaming tariff on your account, purchasing a global sim card or seeking out a service that combines the two without the need to constantly add credit to your phone. For the purpose of this article we will call them Add-on Services; meaning that you can approach a third party who will work with your network operator to add an additional service to your account. The biggest and greatest benefit of this method is that, as mentioned above, you do not need to constantly add credit to your phone unlike other types of services. All calls are added to a monthly itemised bill and are separate to any mobile phone deals you have in place with you existing provider. You will also be able to keep your existing telephone number, which is often an unavoidable problem if you are unexpectedly travelling abroad and family or friends are unaware. This type of service will forward calls to a different local number which will be assigned to you on activation. Dependent on the provider, its best to call ahead to ensure that your phone is setup and will work in the country youre travelling to. As with similar services, other than those offered on your networks roaming tariff, youre expected to save up to 90% on calls made.

Introduction to the Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) Procedure

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

By Daniel Ebroon There are several established methods for performing an eyebrow (also called a forehead) lift. The oldest method is called a coronal brow lift. This form of a brow lift is done by making a very large incision behind the hairline from one side of the head to the other. The forehead and brow are lifted accordingly and the incision is sutured closed. The most important advantage to this form of a brow lift is the fact that the brow can be raised a significant amount by simply removing more and more skin. However, this form of a brow lift also has several very large disadvantages. The surgery is much more expensive than other forms of a brow lift. Also, there is a very large scar hidden behind the hairline in those with abundant hair. Those who do not have thick hair do not hide the incision well. Also, there can be permanent numbness in the scalp region after this form of surgery, as some of the sensory nerves are cut by the surgical technique. Other forms of a brow lift or forehead lift are performed without making such a large incision. One such form of a brow lift is an endoscopic brow lift. This is done by making several small incisions behind the hairline and using a small camera inserted through one of the incisions, the forehead is lifted to a higher point. The advantage of this form of a brow lift is that there is no single large incision. However, the incisions still can be visible if the patient does not have a full head of hair. The technique employs various methods of keeping the forehead in a higher position once it has been lifted through the small incisions. One of these methods is a suturing method that holds the brow and forehead up higher. The other employs a device called an Endotine, which is a fixation device made of a dissolvable material that holds the brow and forehead in its higher position for three to six months before dissolving. The forehead and brow form natural attachments over this period of time that keep the brow in the new higher position. Another method of raising the brows is to do what is called a transblepharoplasty brow lift. This is a method of raising the eyebrows through the upper eyelid incision that is made for a blepharoplasty. Since brow lifts and blepharoplasties are usually performed together, sometimes this means that the brow can be elevated without an additional incision. With this method of a brow lift, the brow and forehead are addressed from the eyelid incisions. They are lifted and raised to a higher position. Just as in the endoscopic forehead lift, the brow and forehead need to be fixated in the new higher position and this can be accomplished either with sutures or with the device called the Endotine. The advantage of this form of a brow lift is that the incisions are minimal. This allows for much faster healing and essentially no visible scars. The disadvantage of this technique is that the eyebrow and forehead may not be able to be elevated as high as with the other forms of a brow lift. In many patients the tail of the brow will descend to a more significant degree than other portions of the eyebrow. There are many patients in which Dr. Ebroon would advise raising the tail of the brow much more than the central portion of the brow or the portion closest to the nose. Raising the tail is helpful because it can give the effects of a brow lift without giving the surprised look that no patient is interested in. The tail of the brow can be lifted with any of the methods outlined above. Usually, after consulting with the patient, your physician might recommend a transblepharoplasty assisted brow lift, perhaps with a single incision in the temple region, to achieve the desired brow position. Brow lifts are an important part of eyelid and upper face rejuvenation. A subtle brow lift can add a tremendous amount to the effects of an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. It can enhance the rejuvenating effects of an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and is therefore a very popular procedure. Some patients prefer to raise the brows non-surgically. This can be done to a small degree with the use of Botox. Botox is a medicine that temporarily relaxes muscles, usually for a period of three months. It is a very popular method to reduce wrinkles between the eyebrows, in the forehead, and in the crows feet areas. Botox can also be used in the tail of the brow to raise the tail of the brow minimally. It has this effect because there are muscles near the eyebrows that both raise the tail of the eyebrow (the frontalis muscle) and muscles that depress the tail of the brow or bring the tail of the brow down (the orbicularis muscle). If Botox is skillfully placed into the orbicularis muscle in the area in which it brings the eyebrow down, this muscle will temporarily be weakened and the muscle that raises the tail of the brow will work unopposed and perform a nonsurgical temporary minimal brow lift. Depending on an individuals personal anatomy and their personal feelings about surgery, the appropriate method can be employed to enhance the brow position and thereby enhance appearance.
