Dr. did some tip work on me because he said it drooped slightly whenever I smiled. Is my tip too high after Rhinoplasty? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Tip Too High After Rhinoplasty?
The limited posted photo appears as a good early result. But no befores were posted. Best to discuss and be patient with the surgeon of record. Time will tell if you are happy wait at least 6 months.
Rhinoplasty and post op tip swelling and position
At just six weeks post rhinoplasty, the tip of your nose is still swollen and healing. As the swelling subsides the tip of the nose will probably settle further. This process can take 6 to 12 months to resolve. Gentle compression/massage to the nasal tip can help speed this process but check with your surgeon first before doing this. Best wishes.
Learn more: http://www.VincentLeporeMD.com
Tip Will Continue to Come Down
You are very early after a rhinoplasty. The nose will continue to heal and change shape over 1 year. For this reason, I would not make a judgement on your nose. I do believe the tip may go down as the swelling resolves. I can not tell you how much it will go down as I do not know the details of your surgery.
As far as the smile, if the doctor cut a muscle that pulls the tip of the nose down during smiling, this can effect the smile. Regardless, the smile will improve, but there is a chance that it will not return completely to the pre-operation smile.

Critical Access Hospitals
CAHs are rural community hospitals that receive cost-based reimbursement. To be designated a CAH, a rural hospital must meet defined criteria that were outlined in the Conditions of Participation 42CFR485 and subsequent legislative refinements to the program through the BBRA, BIPA, the Medicare Modernization Act, the MIPPA, and the PPACA.
The AHA ensures that the unique needs of its various constituents are heard and addressed in national health policy development, legislative and regulatory debates, and judicial matters. Indeed, from its initial creation as part of the Balance Budget Act of 1997, the AHA has been a champion of the development and subsequent improvements and enhancements of the CAH program.
Securing the future of CAHs and the essential role they play in caring for rural America is of paramount importance. The AHA is vigilant in the face of legislative, regulatory and policy proposals that threaten the local delivery of care and rural community health status. The AHA will continue to advocate on behalf of CAHs for fixes to payment and administrative limitations that constrain the efficiency and effectiveness of these essential health care providers.

If you are the one signing the paychecks for those on the payroll, specifically those in sales, you might be wondering what those people do all day. You might also be asking yourself: Where are the orders that were promised?
Take a few minutes and use this list of thought-provoking questions to measure how your sales team is doing, what they are not doing and what they should be doing.
1. Ask each sales person to answer the following:
n When was your last successful sale?
n When was the last time you received a referral from a current client?
n When was the last time you made a face-to-face sales presentation?
n When was the time before that?
The answers will tell you what you need to know about whether someone is actually in sales, or just pretending to be.
2. When was the last time the individual who has the title/position and responsibility as "sales manager":
n Worked with each individual that reports to him or her?
n Conducted a formal performance appraisal on each individual that reports to him or her?
n Conducted a training or education session for the individuals that reported to him or her?
n Held a sales meeting with the entire team with an agenda for the meeting that included goals on it?
The answers might surprise you because the "sales manager" might not be actually managing anyone.
3. When was the last time that individuals in the company that could possibly come into contact with a customer (on the phone, via e-mail, face-to-face or via mail) participated in a product training session?
4. Do the sales people understand the sales process (prospect, present, handle objections, ask for the order, post order follow-up)? How do you know?
5. Make a list of everyone in sales. Ask each of them when they last:
n Read a book to improve their sales skills?
n Watched a video or DVD to improve their sales skills?
n Listened to a CD to improve their sales skills?
n Met with a successful individual in the field of sales to gain knowledge and perspective?
6. How many of the individuals on the sales team have a prospecting plan?
7. How many of the individuals on the sales team have ranked their customers according to the A-B-C method of revenue and profitability?
8. How much of a 50-hour work week is actually spent meeting with customers?
9. Are daily call reports required in your company?
10. Do your sales people complain of poor marketing materials? Are these the top performers or the less productive ones?
11. Have you asked each individual in sales "What is the follow up process once a prospect has been sent literature?"
12. Does the sales manager keep a list of all the excuses that sales people have for not making sales? Is this list reviewed with the top executive at least quarterly?
13. When someone in the sales team does not meet their sales objectives, whether it be for a month, quarter or year, what is the process management takes to resolve the situation?
14. Is your sales team hiding behind brochures, sell sheets, inserts and advertisements?
15. If your sales people were to give you a list of the reasons why they were not achieving their individual sales goals, would you agree with the list?
16. Has your team read "Selling for Dummies" by Tom Hopkins? How about "Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive" by Harvey MacKay?
17. How much time does each sales person spend in the office?
18. When was the last time each sales person visited a former client?
19. What is your client retention rate by sales person?
20. What is the turnaround time is to deliver a client proposal once it has been asked for?|

haha well when i played underworld i kind of knew everything about it but this time i don't so that is good . Well worth the wait :')
I've already finished my first play-through of Tomb Raider. It was an amazingly epic experience and I loved it so much !
So I will obviously replay a few or several more times like I have done for previous TR games.
I must admit when promotional photos of TR with Lara holding a bow and arrow were released, I was very apprehensive about it. Probably because I thought it would not be used as much. Ironically, I think it was used the most, or close to it, than the other typically modern weapons.
So much hilarity ensued when using B&A on enemies.
On the subject of spoilers ~ I tend not to read about or listen to them because I wanted to be surprised.
For TR, little did I realize when listening to a gaming podcast as I normally do, one of the hosts had revealed the general premise of the game.
And I probably have already spoiled it for myself to that point when reading news about it on other sites or some thread titles within the TR forum.

Hanging out in here again is making me itch to play more again. I missed Lara! And I can't wait to get to the new game.tombraidergal said:

Completed Tomb Raider finally Well, the story line. I did try a bit of multiplayer but it annoyed me so I quit xD But yes! Thank you CD for making a game worth waiting for The ending was a bit rushed, but meh. Not a problem ;D
I just pulled an April Fools Day prank at the forum I moderate. Tomorrow's going to be fun.
What did you do?
We had a slew of funny april fools jokes in the TR9 section
I myself didn't have time this year to pull off another elaborate prank, like we usually do, so I did this quick one.
My favorite one was done by Crystal Dynamics themselves - a hilarious prank on the official TR store website

I meant some people seem to be showing quite a strong reaction for what is only a matter of cup size.
That's different than how you put it before
"Being unhappy" (perfectly understandable ) is not quite the same as a "quite strong reaction" (which I assume you mean something like "I'm never buying another TR game again!!! ")

Sorry, it was implied; it's just the way people speak in the area that I'm originally from - I sometimes forget that some things that can be picked up in speech can be lost in text.
I've certainly heard a lot more strong words about her changed shape than I would have deemed necessary. I think that the boob size alone on a fictional character are hardly enough to condemn a whole game over.
Personally I don't think Lara's ever been the same since the first 5 games but not just because of her boobs lol. I've really been trying to get into the other games but they feel like a completely different game series with a completely different character.
I've yet to try the latest one though so there's hope yet...
On the same note but personal observation, has anyone ever watched women climbing competitions and noticed how much closer a small busted contestant can hug the climbing surface? The center of gravity is a physical law that has to be obeyed. In terms of reality I think it would help Lara immensely to have less up front. We all have to go with what we have but having less is an asset I think when jumping from ledge to ledge.
Yeah I remember reading that same thing a few years ago. Of course back when this was done games being made were measured in kilobytes not gigs. You couldnt expect much and usually didnt get much graphics wise. I remember a comp game called Boulderdash I played on my Atari 1200xl, by todays standards it wasnt even much of a phone game.
Got a call from the scammers today:
Had the IT person in the house mess with him. It was entertaining to listen to. It sounded like they followed that script almost exactly.
EDIT: Link has nothing to do with the scammers themselves; Ars Technica is a tech news site and wrote down their call.
I had the same happen to me as well (a year or so ago). It was a guy with a heavy Indian accent, and I really couldn't understand what he was saying except "Windows" and "security". I told him I have all the security I need and hang up. The next day he called again, believe it or not, telling me the same crap. I told him a few "nice" things and "politely" asked not to call me again. Luckily, he didn't.
Feeling good. Boyfriend (boyFRIEND) and I had our first Skype date. However, my everyone kept walking interrupting... So it only lasted a combined total of 5 min.

Is Self-Image All That Important?
Much has been written in the world of pop psychology and self-help publishing about the concept of "self-image." Is that a good thing, or have we simply become a society obsessed with feeling good about ourselves? Both sides could be argued well. However, self-image, if properly defined, can describe a balanced and healthy way of looking at who God created us to be as image-bearers.

I chipped off the bottom half of my front central incisor. If I need a root canal, should I have a veneer or a full crown? My dentist wants to put on a 3/4 crown, which she calls a veneer. Also, what happens if my dentist puts on the veneer and I need a root canal later?
Crown or Veneer for Chipped Tooth (w/ Root Canal)?
Doctor Answers 5
Porcelain veneer may be an option after a root canal
With all dentistry, the pre-existing condition of the tooth determines how much or how little tooth needs to be repaired. If the tooth was already badly broken, decayed or cracked, and then a root canal was performed, a full coverage crown may be the best option. Your dentist can evaluate how much natural tooth you have left to help decide if a full coverage crown is a better option for you than a porcelain veneer.
Veneer is a good choice for fractured front tooth.
The veneer is the best choice for this situation because its esthetically pleasing and restores the tooth without excessive grindown of tooth structure. If you need a root canal then its done from behind the tooth no problem..
Crown Or Veneer For Chipped Tooth
It's hard to say which way is better without checking the tooth and the bite of the patient. I always lean toward an all porcelain crown for a root canaled tooth. But there are cases where the tooth is in a perfect shape with a small access for root canal with a very light or no occlusion with the opposing arch, in this case I would go with a veneer.
For posterior teeth with no doubt, I will do an all porcelain crown.
You might also like...
Veneer for fractured tooth
Your dentist has made a wise plan of treatment for the chpped tooth you describe. A veneer that wraps the tooth will conserve tooth structure, support the tooth, and provide maximum esthetics. Should a root canal be needed later, it can be easily accomplished from the back side without disturbing your new veneer.
Veneers usually not enough for root canal treated teeth
The rule of thumb is to do the least amount of dentistry necessary to do the job. If the tooth is simply chipped, a veneer or 3/4 crown may be appropriate. If the tooth ALREADY has a root canal, then a full crown is best.
There are no certainties with teeth, so one cannot say your tooth won't need a root canal in the future. It is possible it WILL need one, but that might be a week from now or a decade.
The third case in my attached video is a case with the two front teeth fractured. We placed two veneers and no root canal, but the teeth may still need that in the future.

We cannot overcome these experiences – anger, jealousy, passion, etc – in the beginning. But we must ponder over the fact why we undergo these experiences. Otherwise we will be the losers. We will become slaves of these experiences and can never achieve fulfillment or contentment.

NEW YORK (Aug. 5)
The Anti-Defamation League and the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors held a "call to action" on Wednesday in front of the Holocaust memorial wall near the United Nations to press for U.S. and U.N. intervention in war-torn Bosnia-Hercegovina.
About 200 people from 18 Jewish organizations participated, holding aloft placards that read "Never Again" and "Stop the Atrocities."
"Mankind is divided into three groups: the murderers, the victims and the bystanders," said Benjamin Meed, president of the American Gathering. "Murderers can only act if the bystander permits him to."
Meanwhile, inside the United Nations, representatives of several Jewish groups met with Ambassador Alec Watson, deputy U.S. representative to the international body, to express their concern over the U.S. government's inaction in putting an end to the Serbian atrocities.
Watson reportedly did not tell the Jewish representatives, who were there under the umbrella of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organization, that the United States was taking any particular course of action.
He did say, according to those who attended, that the United States and the United Nations are continuing their investigations into the matter.

Chuck Inglish "Easily (featuring Ab-Soul & Mac Miller)"
Amoeba Music Hollywood Hip-Hop Top Five: Week Ending 04:11:14
Amoeba Music Hollywood Hip-Hop Top Five: Week Ending 04:11:14
1) Chuck Inglish Convertibles (Federal Prism)
2) Freddie Gibbs, Madlib Pinata (Madlib Invazion)
3) Quasimoto Planned Attack / Talkin' Shit [Picture Disc] (7") (Stones Throw)
4) YG My Krazy Life (Def Jam)
5) Kendrick Lamar Good kid, m.A.A.d city (Aftermath)
Once again this week at Amoeba among the popular recent hip-hop releases is the Freddie Gibbs, Madlib collaboration Pinata that is in the number two slot on this week's new Amoeba chart from the Hollywood store. The album, that appears on Madlib's Madlib Invazion label, continues to also sell well at both Bay Area Amoeba Music stores. No doubt the duo's recent, reportedly excellent Bay Area concert helped boost interest in the new album. Another Madlib related release on this week's chart is the Quasimoto 7" picture disc "Planned Attack" and "Talkin' Shit" on Stones Throw Records. Other new Amoeba Hip-Hop chart entries include YG's My Krazy Life on Def Jam, Kendrick Lamar's unstoppable Good kid, m.A.A.d city on Aftermath, and the number one album this week: the brand new Chuck Inglish album Convertibles on Federal Prism (note there will be a vinyl LP version dropping on April 29th).
Convertibles, like so much new hip-hop coming out these days, continues to push the boundaries of our perception of so-called "hip-hop" with the result being a diverse, truly genre-blurring selection of satisfying tracks that would likely appeal to even those who don't normally like rap/hip-hop. For those wondering who the hell is Chuck Inglish and how did the hell did he land at the number one chart slot with a bullet this week anyway, Inglish is one half of the hipster hip-hop duo The Cool Kids that is him and Sir Michael Rocks. They still exist but do solo stuff too. This is Inglish's official debut solo album and the follow up to his popular Droptops mixtape and has lots of sounds to offer from smoldering funk baselines to throwback 80's synth driven upbeat dance grooves. The album contains features from a ton of current era faves including Mac Miller, Chance The Rapper, Action Bronson, Chromeo, BJ The Chicago Kid, and his buddy Sir Michael Rocks, and features tracks such as "Easily (featuring Ab-Soul & Mac Miller)" that is the album's second single (see video above). In addition to Convertibles other new hip-hop album releases this week included Playdough's Gold Tips, Ratking's So It Goes, Freeway & Girl Talk's Broken Ankles, and MaLLy's The Colors of Black. And, make note of it now, arriving in Amoeba next month will be the excellent DVD and soundtrack for Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton: This Is Stones Throw Records - the doc on the Peanut Butter Wolf founded label - that, among other things in its rich history, shows much love for the late great emcee talent Charizma with whom Wolf began his illustrious career.
"#ALLSTYLES" - the fitting hashtag for tonight's Triple Threat DJs anticipated show at Mighty in San Francisco is similar to the title of the Bay Area power DJ trio's album "Many Styles" who are literally a "triple threat" on the turntables. Comprised of legendary party rocking' turntable manipulating DJs Shortkut, Apollo and Vinroc, they possess between all three of them approximately a combined 70 years of experience in throwing down all types of music at all types of parties. Throw in their combined battle experience and turntablist orchestration skills and you have one hella uniquely talented crew. Whether playing separately or all three are playing together as a team - expect only the highest quality and most refreshingly diverse styles - hashtag all styles indeed! The party, which is hosted by Fran Boogie and Randall Rufino, happens tonight at Mighty: 119 Utah St., SF. 21+ 9pm doors. Free before 11:30pm with RSVP here. Open bar from 9pm to 10pm. Below is a video clip of the mighty Triple Threat DJs at Mighty two years ago when they packed the club with happy sweaty dancers.

Scherrer, Rohrer win O'Neill Evolution pipe
Locals' favorites Jan Scherrer and Verena Rohrer won the TTR 5Star men's and women's halfpipe contests on Thursday at the O'Neill Evolution event at Jakobshorn in Davos, Switzerland.
Scherrer -- an 18 year-old rider from Ebnat-Kappel, Switzerland sponsored by Nike, Nitro Snowboards, Swatch, and Clast -- beat out American rider Kyle Mack (the top qualifier) and Japanese rider Hiroki Suwa to top the podium in the men's final. Scherrer lead after Run 1 with a score of 85.40, then improved to 91.40 in Run 2 with a backside 900 mute grab, frontside 1080 tail grab, Cab 720 melon grab, and frontside 900 mute grab.
"This is the biggest result of my career, and it's pretty special to do it at home here in Davos. And to do it here at Gian's last contest... it's sort of hard to describe," Scherrer said, in a podium interview after the competition, referring to Gian Simmen, the rider who won gold representing Switzerland at the first-ever Olympic snowboard halfpipe event in Nagano, Japan in 1998. "He's done so much for me and Swiss snowboarding. I mean, he's the man. The biggest influence to all of us ever. I'm stoked on the result and even more on being here to be part of this experience. I'm looking forward to going riding with Gian soon, it's always good times with him."
Simmen, an O'Neill team rider who says he's retiring from competition, finished sixth in Thursday's final.
"Finishing my 23-year contest career here is simply a dream come true," Simmen said on Thursday. "It's like the closing of a circle. I put on a board for the first time here in Davos. Won my first major contest here, my two World Championships here. To finish my contest career here as well, it's the icing on the cake. More importantly, to see Jan Scherrer and Verena Rohrer taking out the contest was all time. I couldn't have wished for a better pair if you look at it as the changing of the guard. I can't tell you how proud I am for both of them."
Rohrer -- a 16 year-old rider from Sattel, Switzerland -- lead the women's field after the first run with a score of 84.60, a score that would stand up through three rounds of competition to fend off French rider Clémence Grimal and Japanese rider Akiko Miwa. Celia Miller, the only American rider competing in finals, finished in 7th place.
"I'm really blown away with this win," said Rohrer, an O'Neill team rider also sponsored by Voelkl Snowboards and Deeluxe Boots, in a podium interview after the competition. "I didn't really have any expectations when I arrived in Davos. I only wanted to put my run on the ground and let people see what I can do, so I'm pretty stoked with the result."
Rohrer's winning run featured a big stalefish grab on the first wall, a backside 540 mute grab, frontside 360 tailgrab, Cab 360 melon grab, and frontside 540. "I wanted to get a 7 into my final run, but apart from that it's the run I've been working on so it's pretty much exactly what I wanted to do," she said. "I've just found out this result has pushed me into third place on the World Snowboard Tour's halfpipe ranking. I'm blown away!"
Rohrer's an up-and-coming rider to pay attention to in the lead-up to the 2014 Olympics: she also won first place in both TTR 2Star rounds of the Audi Snowboard Series at Davos Jakobshorn earlier this month, and won the TTR 3Star Audi Snowboard Series Junior Open in Laax, Switzerland in December. American riders Arielle Gold and Kelly Clark, who both skipped the O'Neill Evolution event to focus on next week's Winter X Games Aspen (a TTR 6Star event) currently hold the top spots in the women's World Snowboard Tour halfpipe ranking.
O'Neill Evolution's main event, the two-day TTR 6Star men's and women's Big Air competition, will be webcast live on Friday and Saturday morning at www.oneill.com/evolution starting at 10:00 Central European Time (4 a.m. ET) on Friday and 12:00 CET (6 a.m. ET) on Saturday.

Spring has finally arrived, and there is no better way to celebrate the season than through fashion. This is the season to let down your hair, bring out the soft colors and throw on lighter fabrics. Of course, a change in season does not mean a complete transformation of wardrobe. Layers are still possible during the breezy springtime, which is how this Fashionista chose to dress on a crisp morning. Comfort is a year-round trend for this Fashionista, and she finds scarves to be her essential accessory during all seasons. Upon approaching this Fashionista, she laughed, claiming that she had no style. It fascinates me how so many students think they have no taste in fashion, when in reality they put together looks every morning that make a statement. Whether you are an activist, math geek or philosophy major, you make a choice every day to dress and present yourself in your own style. Your body is a canvas and clothes are the acrylics.
The shifts in seasons show a change of pace in outfit choices among students. I'm beginning to see off the shoulder tops, rolled-up jeans, hats flipped back and unbuttoned cardigans. Springtime really affects student life and style as the school year winds down to an end and summer is around the corner. The relaxed atmosphere of spring is my favorite, and I love seeing the outfit choices students make.
Name: Maji Ghulam
Major: Biological Sciences
Year: Senior
CollegeFashionista: Who or what inspires your fashion style?
Maji Ghulam: My fashion style is influenced by comfort. I enjoy loose-fitted slouchy clothing and also the basics like jeans and a T-shirt. I can relate closely to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's comfortable fashion sense.
CF: As a busy college student, where do you shop at mostly?
MG: I mostly shop at H&M and Nordstrom because [they're] convenient and I always find something that suits me. When I want to find something more original and when I'm in the mood to dig around, I'll go to reused clothing stores.
CF: What is your go-to wardrobe piece that tops off every outfit?
MG: I love scarves! I have bundle-y scarves when it's colder out and also thin, cotton scarves for normal California weather [and] sunny days as well.
How To: You can never have too many accessories, especially when it comes to scarves. There are all sorts of styles and patterns of scarves that appeal to each season. For the spring time chose a sheer, floral, lightweight scarf like this Fashionista put together. A soft print like this one can be worn to create a springtime ambience in many looks. Aside from accessories, other outfit pieces with a bright color palette can fit into the season. For example, a flowy skirt, floral print shorts or a cute bandeau.

With international high finance the modern era's Wild West, it's not surprising Costa-Gavras — a stalwart of the politically minded thriller ("Z," "Missing") — would try to mine banking malfeasance for cinematic suspense.
But "Capital," about the machinations engineered by a newly anointed French bank president (Gad Elmaleh) to avoid a takeover from an aggressive American hedge fund mastermind (Gabriel Byrne), never quite gels as either a sharp critique of take-no-prisoners commerce or a voyeuristic wallow in corporate nastiness.
Our youngish, married-with-kids antihero is in a precarious position — stay stodgy and European or adapt to ruthless profit-minded American tactics that amount to reverse Robin-Hood-ism — which is tough enough to dramatize effectively, particularly since Elmaleh's character is hard to pin down morally. (The source material is a novel by a French banker.) But then the silly, added intrigue of a globe-trotting supermodel vixen (Liya Kebede) and a librarian-sexy expert in Japanese economics (Celine Sallette) resembles those gimmicky newscasts read by beautiful women slowly stripping. It's a tacit acknowledgment that heated talk of stock and layoffs isn't enough. There's plenty of pacing verve in Costa-Gavras' technique, and the residue from that first thrilling peek inside the hermetic world of big-time money-moving never goes away. What's lacking is most surprising from this dissident filmmaker: the emotional outrage.

Fail #1: Being too restrictive.
You're looking around the restaurant at other patrons' beautiful burgers, piles of golden fries, and sexy slices of moist chocolate cake, all the while forcing yourself to pick at plain lettuce with half a drizzle of dressing on the side. A familiar scenario? Well not only does all that deprivation just plain suck, but it might not be helping you slim down, either: Researchs shows that putting certain foods "off limits" can backfire big time. In one study, Canadian researchers put women on one of two diets: One restricted consumption of high-fat foods, and the other simply encouraged women to eat more fruits and vegetables. While both groups lost weight, only the fruit-and-veggie group showed a decrease in overeating. This supports the idea that dietary restraint can lead to binge eating and yo-yo dieting.

Fail #2: Replacing real fat with fake fat.
Fat substitutes are a double whammy of bad news. Not only could you be accidentally cutting out healthy fats, like monounsaturated fatty acids, but you might also be inviting more weight gain. A Purdue study found that rats that ate low-calorie chips made with faux fat "olestra" instead of real fat gained more weight than rats that ate only regular chips. The researchers explained that when the body tastes fat, it expects a high burst of calories. When that doesn't come, the body's metabolic reactions are thrown off, leading to an inefficient use of calories and weight gain.
Fail #3: Drinking diet soda.
If soda is your worst enemy (hello, empty calories and weird ingredients like caramel coloring), diet soda is your worst frenemy. Zero calories can't be bad, right? Wrong. A study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health found that overweight adults who drink diet soda consume more calories from food than overweight adults who drink beverages containing real sugar. Just as with fake fat, sugar substitutes throw off your body's typical response to sweet tastes. According to the researchers, when you drink diet soda, the sweet sensors in your brain are disrupted by the artificial sweetener, and so they can't accurately gauge the number of calories you've taken in. This confusion often leads to eating more.

Fail #4: Not drinking enough water.
While you were sipping your soda (diet or otherwise), you know what you weren't doing? Drinking water. Water is one of the few magic potions on the planet that work (just ask our editor, Emily). A study published in the journal Obesity found that drinking a liter or more of water per day helped women lose weight in two ways. For one, by swapping out 80 percent of sweet drinks with water, the participants cut enough calories to lose more than five pounds (replacing 80 percent of sweet drinks with diet soda, on the other hand, resulted in only a 3.5-pound loss.) Impressive, though not surprising, findings -- replacing sugar (or chemicals) with all-natural, zero-calorie water is bound to result in a healthier body.
But what's interesting is that the researchers also found that drinking more water was independently associated with dropping five pounds in a year, regardless of soda swaps. They attributed this connection to previous research that found that drinking half a liter of water daily increased energy expenditure. Translation: Simply drinking water makes your body burn more calories, even when you're just sitting still.

Fail #5: Thinking gluten-free means grain-free.
For people who are truly gluten intolerant, GF isn't a lifestyle choice; it's a necessity. For people who aren't sensitive to gluten, though, cutting out the protein can be an easy way to identify unnecessary carbs (no one needs a giant bagel, gluten or no gluten). But just because you're giving up wheat doesn't mean that all grains are evil -- you just need to choose the healthiest ones.
For instance, a study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that by eating a meal substitute comprised of brown and black rice, people lost nearly 15 pounds in six weeks. This was three pounds more than people who ate a white-rice meal substitute. So how can you determine which grains will help you lose weight? Look at the fiber. Grains are a great source of dietary fiber, and this study suggests that the more fiber, the more weight loss.

Collect all the orders (30 striped candies) and reach 260,000 points in 35 moves.
While it seems tempting to start working on the 20 move bombs around the cannon, you need to open up at least one spot up top to allow more candy to flow in. Once those pieces are off the top you won't get anything unless you can either clear the cannon or shoot a vertical striped candy up through, so make that your first priority. If the opening is somewhere in the middle, work on the cannon and making striped candies to remove the locked in pieces. If it's on the side, try to make another hole to allow more pieces to come in. You really need to get that cannon shot off before the first 20 move bombs expire, but remember, the objective is to make 30 striped candies.
Frustrated because you can't pass Candy Crush Level 370? No worries, just watch this:
Patricia Frederick's Tips for Candy Crush Level 370
You need to unlock the bombs on the top to allow more candies to be released. After the board is cleared (after you clear off the pizza), any remaining locked bombs will drop down onto the second board. Make a color bomb and a striped candy to finish the orders.

You know that image of the lonely smart kid who desperately wants the cool kids to like him? That image isn't necessarily inaccurate, but it's not complete either. Many hyper-intelligent nerds might seem like shy and pleasant folks on the outside, but when interacting with each other, they can be catty, mean-spirited bitches. Instead of using athletic ability or attractiveness, however, they use mental superiority to grapple for dominance, and that process often manifests itself in pointed comments judging the grammar of others.
If you want to feel like a dumbass, post on a grammar Nazi's wall using your instead of you're or the wrong there. It'll get ugly in a hurry, or you can save yourself the mental frustration and watch the above video to see what I'm talking about. Apparently, at some point in the past, Merriam Webster associate editor Kory Stamper wrote "The book which addresses this topic is a usage dictionary" and was promptly bitched out by the person she was communicating with. So, she did what any nerd with resources at her disposal would do: she created a YouTube video explaining why she's not wrong. Thus far, the clip has generated exactly the type of comments one would expect for such subject matter…
I want to pretend like I hate it, but I really can't. I spent my entire childhood arguing with my friends about stupid nonsense like this in condescending and offensive tones, and deep down, at least a little part of me will always be that same douche bag kid.

Muslims fill refugee camps with swastikas, anti-Semitic graffiti in Germany
And Merkel keeps bringing in millions of Muslim Jew-haters, while cautioning about "young people from countries where hatred of Israel and anti-Semitism is widespread."
Islamic Jew-hatred is a a core tenet of Islam.
Is it any wonder that Jews are fleeing the continent in record numbers? But that is not enough. Islamic supremacists and their leftist lapdogs are working hard to destroy the only truly safe place for Jews to go — the Jewish homeland, Israel.
Muslims fill German refugee camp with swastikas, anti-Semitic graffiti, By Robert Spencer, January 27, 2016:
"Shai described how the walls are covered in anti-Semitic graffiti that include red swastikas, Stars of David accompanied by the satanically-affiliated number 666, and maps of Israel in the colors of the Palestinian flag." The new multicultural Europe is such a wonderful place. Unless, of course, you're Jewish. Or a woman. Or, before too long, a non-Muslim.
"Israeli Jew in German Refugee Camp Encounters Swastikas and Anti-Semitic Slurs," by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, January 26, 2016:
TEL AVIV – Swastikas, "satanic" stars of David, and maps of Israel in the Palestinian flag's colors adorn the walls of a Nazi airport-cum-refugee center in Berlin, according to an Israeli expat who recently visited the refugees housed there.
28-year-old Yonatan Shai visited what was formerly the Tempelhof Airport in an effort to "open dialogue" with some 2,000 refugees – mainly from Syrian and Iraq – who temporarily reside in the converted space.
The influx of refugees to the German capital has raised concern among members of the local Jewish community, so Shai, who moved to Berlin a year ago, decided to hear their views on Jews and Israel for himself.
"I'm not afraid, but I'm on guard," German paper Die Welt quoted Shai as saying.
Shai described how the walls are covered in anti-Semitic graffiti that include red swastikas, Stars of David accompanied by the satanically-affiliated number 666, and maps of Israel in the colors of the Palestinian flag.
Shai linked the graffiti to those refugees with Palestinian backgrounds.
Shai, who kept his yarmulke on his head throughout the visit, heard some of the men uttering "Jew" under their breaths. While some were openly hostile, Shai said that others criticized the Israeli government but said they had no ill feelings toward Israelis in general.
One young refugee made menacing gestures and told Shai "the Jews must get out of the country."…

Went in with pretty low expectations as I'm running into some pretty heavy fatigue with superhero movies, but came out pleasantly surprised. Some jokes were lazy but the majority of them had me laughing, and I'm glad it didn't try too too hard to be self-referential and funny. I don't know how good it'll be on multiple viewings, but this was refreshing to see after the repetitive monotony of most other superhero flicks.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015
A new Star Wars film with a lot of challenges to overcome: reconnecting with the familiar with a different perspective, but not too different; playing to the fans; but not too much; and creating a fun sci-fi movie; but not being too silly. I thought it nailed all of these. Yes it traced over A New Hope in it's plot points and had fan service, but I believe this is what was needed for this series to be an anchor for the successive movies to branch out and be different. A highly entertaining and fun watch.

Retired English Teacher
Some signs of being a possible victim of alien abduction:
- Feeling you are Special or Chosen or have an important task to perform
- Have a memory of having a special place with spiritual significance, when you were a youngster
- Fear or anxiety over the subject of aliens or UFOs
- Sensitivity to issues affecting the Earth, its environment and all life forms than other people
- Fear of being kidnapped or abnormal constantly monitoring of your surroundings

NEW ORLEANS —Ask anyone associated with Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orleans charter school about its troubles, and no one will say lack of parental involvement is among them.
Frustrated by what it characterized as poor leadership, misguided management and lack of transparency, a small group of Lycée parents asked an attorney to file an eight-page letter with board leaders detailing their complaints and demanding two board members step down.
"Lycée is a school worth fighting for," read the letter, sent by 15 parents calling themselves the Rebuilding Trust Working Group.
In response, 62 other parents signed a letter saying they support the current administration and direction of the school. They pointed to the recent hire of a new school leader who has improved communication at the school and acted quickly to fill vacancies.
Signatories from both sides were among 100 people who attended a tense board meeting for the school Jan. 14. A state Education Department official, who was there to discuss his role in helping guide the school, complimented the parents on their passionate regard for the school.
Concerns at this tiny, two-campus charter — with only 340 students from pre-kindergarten through second grade — had reached the ear of state Superintendent John White. He called in the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools and asked officials there to work with the school to secure a permanent chief executive officer.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Caroline Roemer Shirley, the association is involved in an unprecedented project at the school — contracting with management consulting company EMH Strategy to find a new school leader and, she said, helping the school identify its weaknesses and make changes to improve.
Roemer Shirley told parents Monday that the school was singled out for the work because it appears to be academically fit and financially mending, but it needs some managerial shoring up.
Board President Jean Montes and another board member, Dan Henderson, said they stepped in to run the school following the Nov. 23 resignation of Jean-Jacques Grandiere, the second school leader to resign in less than two years.
Montes then confirmed he alone hired an academic director and interim CEO, Gisele Schexnider, a former teacher at the McGehee School for Girls, without posting the job or first holding a board meeting. A board meeting held later "ratified" that decision with little discussion.
Parents involved with the Rebuilding Trust Working Group wrote White on Dec. 26 asking him to investigate the board's hiring and firing decisions, expressing concern that they have no basis to know how qualified Schexnider is for the leadership post.
"Her resume has not been shared with the public," their letter said. "By her own admission, she has never worked within the construct of the French curriculum, and she has never been in a supervisory position over teachers."
Though it is only in its second year of operation, Lycée has experienced mounting troubles in the past year:
- Two school leaders, including founding CEO Jill Otis have resigned and just two of its original nine board members remain.
- The board voted in November to $200,000 from its budget after learning of an $85,000 deficit.
- A former special education teacher filed a character defamation lawsuit in December against the school and two board members — Montes and Paige Saleun —- in which she alleged that police were unnecessarily called to force her from the campus when she was fired Nov. 30. Darleen Mipro's lawsuit states that school officials sent an email to parents informing them that Mipro "has been engaging in misconduct…which necessitated the immediate actions of the Administration this afternoon." Mipro, a former teacher at both Audubon and Lusher charter schools, has pleaded not guilty in court to the charges.
The Rebuilding Trust Work Group wants Montes and Saleun to quit, or at least step aside temporarily while the lawsuit is pending. The group also has outlined its concerns surrounding a now-$75,000 contract with a company whose owners, the parents alleged, have personal and business dealings with Montes and Saleun.
Sweet Olive Design and Development owners Mary Carstens and Lora Reugger deny that anything about their contract is ethically flawed and maintain they've brought in $900,000 to the school through fundraising and other work.
They say neither of them met Montes until early 2011, when they volunteered their services to help the school with its fundraising efforts. Reugger said she had known Saleun since about 2009 because their kids attended the same school. She said she'd become friends with Saleun in 2010 but that she doesn't believe that relationship had any influence over the business contract because it was other school officials who approached her about doing the work.
Carstens said she did do some work on the website for Saleun's restaurant Chateau du Lac Bistro in Metairie, where Saleun's husband is chef, but that it was after she was already working for Lycée.
Furthering concerns, Lycée's annual financial audit cited the board for paying Otis almost $30,000 over three months following her resignation without a contract or a board vote approving the payments.
Otis has declined to talk about it. But when Otis announced her intent in April to resign, she said she would do so effective the end of the school year.
Neither she nor school leaders have answered questions last week about the actual timing of her departure. The auditor, Todd Tournillon of Postlethwaite & Netterville, declined to comment about the matter. When asked about how his company confirms details such as termination dates, he said, "The report stands on its own."
The audit also found that the school spent $627 on a cell phone used by a school board member — a violation of state laws barring charter board members from receiving compensation for anything other than actual expenses incurred.
Former board member Tom Klingler confirmed last Tuesday that the cell phone was his, though the audit does not name him.
Klingler reimbursed the school for the cell phone charges, the audit says, but the matter was referred to the Louisiana Board of Ethics.
Robert Rachal, the attorney representing the Rebuilding Trust Working Group, said he's optimistic that with the help of EMH and Roemer Shirley, the issues his clients raised will be resolved.
"The Lycée board is broken," he said, "and over time this has begun to threaten the success and even the ultimate existence of the school. Ignoring these problems is part of what has gotten us to this point … We are not going to back down, and our goal remains to work to fix — not ignore — the problems so that Lycée can achieve it's full success."

For Immediate Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Agency for International Development announced that it will invest in an innovative new credit product that could unleash the economic potential of entrepreneurs in the developing world.
Announcing the award during Public-Private Partnerships Week, USAID Administrator Raj Shah said, "In the past year, we launched Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) to identify and evaluate high-potential development solutions and scale proven successes. Today, we are happy to announce a DIV grant to Innovations for Poverty Action for a project that is supported by Coca-Cola, Safaricom, Equity Bank and Financial Sector Deepening."
Access to finance constrains the growth of small businesses everywhere, and particularly in poor countries. In Kenya, entrepreneurs running retail shops and kiosks often have to place inventory orders in small and frequent increments. Loans to expand their inventories could free them to make other investments, expand their businesses, and generate more income. However, access to this type of finance is limited by lenders' concerns of repayment, since inventory credit is typically too small to be enforced through courts.
With the $360,000 USAID grant, Innovations for Poverty in Action (IPA), Financial Sector Deepening, and partners will implement and evaluate a credit product for small-scale entrepreneurs in Kenya. The product is designed to help lenders monitor the shop owners' performance and facilitate repayment for borrowers, using an electronic inventory management software system and a mobile phone-based money transfer system. Over 1,200 Coca-Cola retailers in Kenya will participate in the trial.
"In this project we work to bring two large private sector firms together to develop and test a new product that we hope will enable very small scale entrepreneurs to gain access to sorely needed financial services," said Dr. William Jack, Assistant Professor at Georgetown University and one of the project's primary investigators.
Innovation in development is a key piece of President Obama's Global Development Policy, as well as a pillar of USAID's reform agenda. As part of the Agency's increased commitment to cost-efficient development, USAID launched Development Innovation Ventures to encourage entrepreneurs, innovators, businesses, academics, non-governmental organizations and non-traditional players to submit proposals with the potential to substantially improve development outcomes rather than make incremental changes.

The Trifecta Of Fail: Man Calls Ambulance While I Continue to Panic
(If you missed the first two chunks of this story, click here first and here second.)
This is the story of (one of) the worst panic attacks of my life. It happened in the middle of nowhere on a country road, geographically equidistant between my parents' house and my own apartment. Thirty-five miles both east and west of the closest "safe" place, and I felt both physically and mentally unable to complete the drive in either direction.
I pulled back onto Schoolhouse Road after trying (and failing) to backtrack to the state park parking lot where I'd last had cell reception. I couldn't do it — I felt lightheaded, the trees and the road and the sky felt cartoonish, and my body was uncontrollably shaking.
I parked on the road between two houses, reclined my seat, and waited. And waited and waited and waited. I periodically checked my phone for service as I tried (unsuccessfully) to quell my symptoms. I managed to find a Xanax in my jacket pocket. I swallowed it with water and, for about a minute, felt a mild improvement thanks to the placebo effect.
Some young kid in a giant white pickup truck rolled up to my window and asked me if I was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I lied. "I'm just waiting for something. Thanks for checking."
He drove off. Had I just missed my only opportunity to get help? My panic level increased.
I tried to get out of the car, but felt too weak. I tried to remember the Ten Rules for Coping With Panic, but I couldn't even remember the first step. I felt braindead. I felt on the verge of blacking out. I feared death.
Then, another truck rolled up to mine — this one with a red light on top.
"Is everything okay?" the man asked me. He wasn't in any kind of uniform, but the light on top of his car led me, for some reason, to tell the truth.
"I just had a panic attack," I confessed, "I'm trying to wait it out while my meds kick in."
He suggested that I pull further away from the road so that a car turning quickly from the main road onto Schoolhouse wouldn't smash into my rear bumper. I agreed with chattering teeth, and (too scared to even put my seatbelt on, oddly) I pulled ahead, managed a shaky K-turn, and parked facing the main road.
The man drove off.
But then he returned.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" he asked me. I told him I didn't know. And, in turn, he told me that he was some sort of…well, EMT-in-training, I think. I remember him trying to explain to me that he was taking an EMT course and that he's a volunteer firefighter. Or something. Something like that. (My head was so light, at this point, I barely comprehended everything that he said and it felt like minutes were passing between each of his words.)
He offered to call an ambulance. I looked down at my shaking hands. I looked at my phone (which was now boasting a single bar of service — WTF?) and at my steering wheel and then back at the man.
"Will it cost me anything?"
"No, unless they take you to the hospital. I think they should at least check you out. You don't look so good."
As soon as he said "you don't look so good", I started to panic even more. I took his wording as a sign that, somehow, things were horribly wrong. I mean, if this were just a panic attack, wouldn't I look fine? This guy must see something that I don't. Maybe I am having a legitimate medical problem instead of a panic attack. Maybe there's a problem with my heart or my blood pressure. Maybe there's a problem with my brain. Did I have a stroke? Maybe I'm having a stroke RIGHT NOW OH GOD WHAT THE HELL.
"Okay," I agreed. "Call the ambulance."
The EMT-in-training pulled out his radio and called for help. I could hear all the buzzes and beeps and static on his radio, and everything felt surreal. There I was, stuck shaking in the middle of nowhere, incapable of driving my car any further to my home.
"Dispatch, I have a lady here who's had a panic attack and she's violently shaking. We need medic."
Jesus effing Christ. That word — medic. My heart raced even harder.
Then, a female voice came over the air: "Twenty-nine year old female for a panic attack on Schoolhouse Road."
She repeated this at least five times in different iterations: "Panic attack, 29-year old female, Schoolhouse Road" and then "Medic needed on Schoolhouse Road for panic attack, 29-year-old female", and so on as I lay in my car, shaking.
With that single bar of cell phone service, I frantically called my father and, rushing to get all of my words out before I either passed out or died, I information-vomited the essential details.
"Dad, I'm having a bad panic attack. Call Jay and tell him to leave work and come here. I'm on Schoolhouse Road. The ambulance is coming."
Now crying and unable to breathe well, I tried to get out of my car for air, but the EMT-in-training told me to stay still and continue laying down.
I felt horribly trapped.
(More to come soon.)

- Access from anywhere to the contact information within one application.
How: Email Collector by company: Drop Storage
LEADSExplorer can store email from/to your contacts and automatically associate your emails with the correct contact or company in SALESTractor.There are 3 ways to import mail to your account:
- By putting your dropbox in BCC when sending an email
- By forwarding emails you sent or received to your dropbox
- By having your incoming emails automatically forwarded to your dropbox
Your dropbox is an email account that is associated with your account. You can find it when you login under the 'admin' tab.
See screen shots.
What happens to my mail when it arrives at the dropbox ?
If the contact already exists the email will be available in the email section under the 'SALESTractor' tab of the company your contact
belongs to. A corresponding event will be created.
If the contact doesn't exist, but the company does and the domain name is known then a new contact will be created automatically for you. A corresponding event will be created.
If neither the company nor contact exists then you will be able to find the mail under the general 'email' tab. You can link it to a company later on from here.
BCC'ing your dropbox
Whenever you send a mail to someone you can put your dropbox in the BCC field. Depending on your email client, it's possible to do this by default.
It's technically also possible to put the dropbox in the CC field. We advice against this because then your contact will be able to see that you are also sending to a dropbox, and your dropbox might be 'found' by virus or trojans on your contacts computer or on the computer of anyone he or she forwards the email to.
This would cause spam to be sent directly to your dropbox which is of course to be avoided.
Forwarding to your dropbox
After you sent or received a mail you can forward it to your dropbox if you want it to be imported. Just forward the mail as you would any other mail, and put the email address of your dropbox in the 'To' field.
Automatic relay to your dropbox
It is possible to have your incoming mails automatically relayed to your dropbox. You usually can't configure this by yourself and need assistance of the system administrator or IT department at your company.
Automatic relaying has 2 big advantages:
- Determine automatically which visit or visitor corresponds to the email sender
- All incoming email will be available in your LEADSExplorer account instantly
