Okay...
Discuss: god's grace is given... it's just that the sins we commit encourage us to reject it. (From the D-man himself, soon to be a religious authority!)
So the catholic viewpoint doesn't conflict with other religions.

And this... is cool... I wonder if I could combine it with (secret) to create (secret)... hmm... might actually work.

35 to 45

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their
head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a
person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust In your friends, but equally that it takes you u a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.
Let's see how the Dr. Phil test does. Well people (mostly funny and the random tstrangers who laugh), see me as funny. I suppose that falls into talented. Modest, maybe, I tend to think everyone else overestimates my abilities... we'll call it a difference of opinion. I'm definately practical and a pragmatist. And I think I can be amusing... so maybe I'm some mix... yeah... this range seems right. Coolness... and wish me luck on my newest foray into personal development... this one... however... is too radical to be posted on my blog... it could tarnish my soul or free me from superficiality forever... making me a better person than I've ever been... this must be what icarus felt like... should I fly to the sun????

Tip from my cousin D about working on your voice... hold your nose while you practice singing or talking to learn to remove the nasal quality from it. Excellent.
And now a little thing about psychology... "Are you okay?" "No." If there's one thing I've learned in life... it's that the more sure you are that you've fixed yourself... the less likely you are to have suceeded. I realized this when I recieved a psychological profile from e-harmony... "Wow... that is so me... cool." But as I read I realized something... it's not just who I am... it's who I want to be. That's... probably the awesomest realization to have... ever.
With the exception of a bit of depression I'm who I want to be. And I choose to feel that depression... because it's better to feel pain than nothing at all. Letting yourself go numb on the inside never solved anything... well... this is some guy nobody ever reads, signing off.
P.S. Religion is an important part in mental health.
Hmm... I think I took that wrong... I think she was talking about her cough... har... oh well... it's an important point for someone out there anyway. Merry christmas all.

Carp read with lysdexia.
For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge.
Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them. From here!
Frigging hilarious! Starve men so they like bigger girls.
The study, published in the British Journal of Psychology, demonstrates that "caloric dissatisfaction" can influence preference for female body weight. Researchers showed pictures of women's bodies to 30 hungry men and 31 sated men and asked them to rate the photos for attractiveness.

Beautiful women
As women were given choice in the matter much more recently (at least in Western culture) there is much less common consensus on a male standard of beauty than on a female one.
"Standards of beauty are both innate and culturally universal, and everybody agrees on who is beautiful and who is ugly just like they agree on who is tall and who is short," he said. The top factor is facial features, he said.
(Damn... I'm normal... I tend to be attracted to facial features...)
He said computer programs can precisely measure someone's physical attractiveness. (Look up the golden ratio face, it's wrong... but it's true).
56% of beautiful parents had girls.
41% of non-beautiful parents had girls.
This means that 44% of the beautiful parents had boys. This means 44% of the beautiful people are men and 56% are women, leaving a full 12% unaccounted for.
Personally though, it'd be nice to have a 36% greater chance to have a daughter. But, I get the feeling I'll end up with two sons. (Don't ask me why... it has nothing to do with the above data.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivers_-willard_hypothesis And according to this one I need to find a submissive woman. No... I really like the mean controlling ones.
So statistically (and I'm factoring in a lot of other studies from other statistics), I should become more agressive (to increase my chances), more dominant, less 'nice guy' and go after submissive females... I should. I'm... just going to ignore this study for now. I'm not ready yet anyway.
I should also go for pale women because it's easier to tell if they are healthy.
Or I could just fall in love with her... cuz love is all you need.
To all the women out there... no... to everyone out there. You've been burned... and you're afraid to be burned again. You claim to be looking for someone with no strings so that you won't be emotionally invested. You think if you're not invested you can't be hurt... wrong... so... very... wrong. Or maybe it's not you. Either way, good luck.

Lip reading.
Remember, I am not a professional, I take no responsibility for anything, period.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/25198/hearing_loss_options_teach_yourself.html
To get better at lip reading start by watching a newscast and turning the volume down low. Newscasts are a perfect start because the newscaster is trained to speak clearly and distinctively. This will make it much easier for you to grasp what he or she is saying without much sound. Pay attention to the way the newscaster forms certain words. Gradually turn the volume down more and more.
Make sure there is silence throughout the rest of the room or house, as you're learning. Noises throughout the house, such as other tv's or children playing, will make it much more difficult to get in good practice.
As with learning any new trick, you'll have to put in many hours of practice to master it. Practice everyday, using television personalities as your guides. Eventually get to where you mute the tv and attempt to read lips on other shows. You'll grasp some words and some you won't. That's okay. Continue practicing any way.

A new post from of all places.
A new post from (of all places) GNU.
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/motivation.html
But Kenneth McGraw, associate professor of psychology at the University of Mississippi, cautions that this does not mean behaviorism itself has been invalidated. “The basic principles of reinforcement and rewards certainly work, but in a restricted context” — restricted, that is, to tasks that are not especially interesting.
Start at the top... skip to there when bored... resume. It's very nifty.
Finally... if we could all be so selfless.
