Positive Self-Esteem

Relationship Advice Article: Love Thyself

I begin today's relationship advice topic with a simple question: Do
you like yourself? Studies show that those who score higher on tests
measuring self-esteem tend to experience healthier, more successful
relationships.

If you want to have a successful
relationship with your partner then you need to have a relationship
with yourself first. You need to love yourself before others can love
you.

Magnapinna deep sea squid recently caught on video

Monsters Among Us: Giant Mystery Creature with "Elbows" Captured on Deep Sea Camera

Called Magnapinna, these relatives of the squid have only been
spotted a handful of times by vehicles like the one that recorded it
here. Four of their bodies have been recovered by researchers, but were
so badly damaged that it was hard for scientists to figure out their
anatomy. What we do know is that they can grow to about 23 feet in
length, about half the size of the biggest giant squid, and they have
10 long legs (instead of the normal squid setup of 8 short legs and 2
big tentacles).

Bacon Chocolate Bar!

Sold out at £6 a bar ... the tastebud sensation that's a mix of milk chocolate and smokey bacon | Mail Online

The unlikely hit Christmas gift is Mo's Bacon Bar, which contains
chunks of applewood smoked bacon combined with smoked salt and milk
chocolate.

At £5.99 per 3oz bar it is far from a cheap
treat, but Selfridges – the only UK stockist – sold its entire stock of
several hundred within 48 hours at its four stores and has urgently
ordered more.

Richard Dawkins call to all Atheists

Calling All Atheists « Red Tory v.3.0

Scientists and intellectuals hold very different beliefs about God from
the American public, he says, yet they are cowed by the overall
political environment. Dawkins’ scornful tone drew strongly mixed
reactions from the audience; some stood and applauded his courage.
Others wondered whether his strident approach could do more harm than
good. Dawkins went on to publish
The God Delusion and become perhaps the world’s best-known atheist.

More Underworld movies coming

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Total Recall: Sexy Vampires
While the next Underworld installment, Rise of the Lycans, will go Beckinsale-less -- it's a prequel story starring Rhona Mitra and Michael Sheen, Beckinsale's real-life ex -- look for her hugely anticipated return to the vampire lady assassin role in a rumored fourth Underworld film.
