6 Signs Your Spouse Is Lying

News flash: Everyone fibs. The lies may be harmless (“That haircut looks great!”; “Your abs crush Brad Pitt’s”), or huge (“No, babe, I didn’t take out a second mortgage”). Even the tiny ones can hurt a relationship if they crop up often. So how do you know if you may be getting duped? Look at their body. Here are six of the most common physical tip-offs of lying. Don't freak out if you've spotted one or two once, but if you see enough of 'em repeatedly, it's time to address it.

  1. Covering the mouth while talking It’s as if they’re subconsciously holding back the untruths they’re spouting. It may be as blatant as completely concealing the mouth or as subtle as a single finger placed in front of the lips.

  2. Touching the nose Scientists have found that lying can cause the tissue in the nose to swell, meaning that a quick stroke could be a sign of deceit (sorry, but that allergy season excuse just doesn't cut it).

  3. Rubbing an eye When lying to someone, the instinct is to look away in shame. Since that’s a dead giveaway, many people do a fast wipe of the peepers instead.

  4. Touching an ear You know that phrase, "See no evil, hear no evil?" Well, anything from a small rub of the back of the ear to an outright earlobe yank hint that there may be something more you need to be told.

  5. Going for the neck Research has found lying can cause a tingling in the tissues of the neck, leading to scratching or pulling the collar. It signals that the speaker is feeling uncertain, so be concerned if you see it right after she says something like, "No, I didn't blow $200 on clothes last week."

  6. Shaking the head no while saying yes If he says, “Yep, I’m getting home late because I have a big assignment to finish” while nodding his head, he’s working late. If he sends the mixed message of saying yes while shaking his head no, you may wanna ask if he took a spin by Spearmint Rhino (and we don't mean the zoo).

The faculty of Playhouse Children Center and BRIGHT Academy had their Mind Mapping Seminar Workshop at the AVR from Sept. 4 to 5, 2009. It was informative. A mind map is a diagram used to represent words , ideas , tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate , visualize , structure , and classify ideas, and as an aid in study , organization , problem solving , decision making , and writing. The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories . By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks. Though the branches of a mindmap represent hierarchical tree structures, their radi

Diet Tips For Me

Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success  To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. Simplify . Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness—then it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious. Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart.  Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switchi

4 Signs That a Man’s Ready for Marriage — and 4 That He’s Not

His Oat-Sowing Days Are Over According to John Malloy, author of Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others , which details the results of a survey of 2,500 men, the singles scene no longer appeals to a man who is ready to marry. Malloy interviewed men from ages 17 to 70 who were about to marry ; all admitted they felt increasingly out of place in the bars, pool halls and dance clubs that were once their favorite hangouts. He’s Financially Independent Tina Tessina, Ph.D., a California psychotherapist, explains, “Men do have a biological clock, but their timing is different from women. Most men’s priorities tend to be focused on winning financial security before having a family. If he’s still struggling to pay his bills, he’s not going to want to add the burden of supporting a wife.” To take it further, the man you’re looking for is a grown-up – someone who can be counted on. He’s able to commit to a job, not to mention family and friends. On the romantic front, even if he’s not r
