Every sign of the zodiac rules its own set of characteristics -- colors, gemstones, parts of the body even plants and flowers as well. Everyone can appreciate the beauty of nature, but since each sign represents a particular energy or style, certain signs will be drawn to different flora and fauna.
Flowers of different color carry different meanings when they are gifted.
Aries, Leo
1. In case the Flowers are delivered as a bouquet or in basket, please try to transfer them to a vase as soon as possible.
2. Fill a vase with luke warm water, slightly cooler room temperature, and add a small amount of sugar and preferably some lemon juice. Sugar acts as a food to flowers and lemon juice allows the food to travel up the stem faster. Alternatively, one can also use a small amount of sugar, aspirin in your vase for the same effect.
3. Strip off all of the leaves below water level.
4. Every 3-4 days, remove your flowers from the vase. Change the water. Then cut off about 1 inch of the flower stems under water at an angle with a sharp knife and then rearrange the same in the vase again. Cutting of stem ends helps maintain good water uptake in the flower stem.
5. Top up water as necessary.
6. If flowers look like they are prematurely wilting, cut the stems an inch under cold running water. They may have air bubbles in them.
7. Regularly remove damaged, or dying flowers and foliage. This helps your flowers last longer.
8. Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight, away from fresh fruits basket and do not keep the flowers above a TV or in front of an Air Conditioner or Cooler.

Melodious Binaurals at Low level frequencies added. Please use this CD with stereo Phone only. OM /AUM IS THE COSMIC SOUND. IT LEADS TO SILENCE AND MENTAL STRENGTH. The end of OM/AUM sound leads to silence and touches the heart and your consciousness. Aum/
OM is the prima cause and connector of the entire Universe.Faith in one
religion or the other merges into resonance and reverberations of OM.
it has no particular religious overtones. Binaural Theory EEG and the brain's state EEG
(Electroencephalography) technology is used to measure brain's
electrical vibrations from the surface of the scalp. The resulting EEG
pattern will contain frequency elements mainly below 30Hz. The
frequencies are categorized into four states as follows: State Frequency range State of mind Delta 0.5Hz - 4Hz Deep sleep Theta 4Hz - 8Hz Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep) Alpha 8Hz - 14Hz Relaxed but alert Beta 14Hz - 30Hz Highly alert and focused The
dominant frequency in the EEG pattern determines what shall be called
the current state of the brain. If the amplitude of the alpha range
frequencies is highest, then the brain is said to be in the alpha stage.
Entraining the brain to a desired state If external
stimulus is applied to the brain, it becomes possible to entrain the
brain frequency from one stage to another. For example, if someone is in
beta stage (highly alert) and a stimulus of 10Hz is applied to his/her
brain for some time, the brain frequency is likely to change towards the
applied stimulus. The effect will relax the person. This phenomenon is
also called frequency following response. When the brain's state is close to the applied stimulus, entrainment works more efficiently. The
easiest way of applying stimulus to the brain is via ears. Other senses
could be used as well, and vision is actually used quite often (often
in addition to hearing). However, humans cannot hear sounds low enough
to be useful for brain stimulation, so special techniques must be used.
One such special technique used is called binaural beats. If
the left ear is presented with a steady tone of 500Hz and the right ear a
steady tone of 510Hz, these two tones combine in the brain. The
difference, 10Hz, is perceived by the brain and is a very effective
stimulus for brainwave entrainment. This 10Hz is formed entirely by the
brain. When using stereo headphones, the left and right sounds do not
mix together until in your brain. The frequency difference, when
perceived by brain this way, is called a binaural beat. The effect of the audible frequencies To
get a stimulus of 10Hz, you may use tones of 500Hz and 510Hz, or 400Hz
and 410Hz, or 800Hz and 810Hz, or so on. The only requirements are that
the tone is heard well enough and that it is below about 1000Hz. Below
1000Hz, the wavelength of the skull is sufficiently small so that the
sound waves curve around it. Altered brain states As mentioned above, applying a stimulus to the brain will eventually bring the brain's state closer to the stimulus Most
people will understand the world around them with awareness, feel
energetic and feel improved mental and emotional clarity. It is normal
to not experience any noticeable changes using initially. This is not
uncommon. This technology works for everyone, without fail, once its
used is continued long-term.

The clipping below is from a Daily Astorian article on an EPA report regarding global warming's potential influence on Northwest salmon. Of most import for killer whale conservationists are the implications of what James Martin calls a "perfect storm" for salmon: low snow pack with low, warm flows in the summer.
Martin provides a nice quote regarding the economic impact of such a storm:
"In Oregon, Washington and Idaho, it's a 35,000-job industry, and it's worth $3 billion dollars per year," he said. "So it's a lot more than just a hobby. There's a lot at stake."
That's about 30x the $100M estimate of ecotourism value associated with the southern residents.
The article also mentions a report co-authored by Martin and Patty Glick called A Great Wave Rising. Dan Drais of Save Our Wild Salmon recently handed me a copy and it looks like an admirable, balanced attempt to bring climate science into the on-going struggle to devise a legal federal plan for recovering endangered fish in the Columbia/Snake basin. I particularly like that it is rich in reputable citations with which I (and global warming skeptics) can understand the uncertainties in the trends and projections.
A quote from Glick suggests that "Heat" should be added to the 4 H's that govern northwest salmon abundance: harvest, hatcheries, hydropower, and habitat. But just last night, David Montogomery claimed the 5th H should be "History" — the history of salmon-human interactions, particularly in Britain and in the Northeast U.S. So, for me "Heat" has become the 6th H and I'm even more convinced that salmon recovery (linked with killer whale recovery) is one of the most complex, grand environmental challenges of our time.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Goals by Ian Ardrey and Jack Walker in the final two minutes of Saturday afternoon's season finale against Yale were not enough for the Harvard men's lacrosse team to catch rival Yale and a berth in the Ivy League tournament.
The Bulldogs (9-4, 4-2 Ivy League) held on for an 11-10 victory on Senior Day at Harvard Stadium after breaking a halftime tie with four straight goals. Ardrey and Yale's Kirby Zdrill each scored four times, and the Crimson's Peter Schwartz added a hat trick.
A win against Yale, which had already clinched an Ivy Tournament bid, would have landed Harvard (6-8, 2-4) the No. 3 seed in the event. The Bulldogs will join league-champion Cornell, Princeton and Penn in the tournament. Final seeding hinges on Saturday's late-afternoon tilt between the Big Red and Tigers in East Rutherford, N.J.
Yale's third-quarter run and four man-up goals proved to be the difference. Neither team scored until the 8:30 mark of the period, but Sam Shakespeare's tally was the first of four for the Bulldogs in less than three minutes.
Alex White halted the spurt and Ardrey got Harvard with two scores, but Conrad Oberbeck pushed the Yale lead back to 10-7 heading into the final period by scoring with four seconds left of the third-quarter clock.
The Crimson comeback effort made no headway for eight minutes, until Carl Zimmerman set up Ardrey at the 6:48 mark. Zdrill then tallied at 3:08 to make it 11-8 and make the Bulldogs 4 for 6 with the extra man.
Ardrey scored with two minutes left, and White assisted Walker with 37 seconds remaining. Rick Mole won the ensuing faceoff for Harvard—his 18th win in 23 draws—and a holding call gave the Crimson its only man-up chance of the day. However, Yale goalie Eric Natale made saves on Henry Mumford and Murphy Vandervelde in the final half-minute to hold off Harvard.
Natale finished with six saves, while Harry Krieger made eight for the Crimson. Harvard held advantages of 28-26 in shots and 27-26 in ground balls, led by Ardrey's seven shots and Gabriel Mendoza's eight ground balls.
Schwartz got the Crimson off to a hot start with two goals in the game's first five minutes and later gave Harvard a 4-2 edge early in the second quarter. Yale rallied with three straight goals, but Ardrey tied the score less than three minutes before halftime.
White totaled two goals and an assist. Zimmerman logged two helpers, while Walker and Devin Dwyer added one each.

- This OG Halifax Donair @blowersgrafton totally hit the spot today. I've been craving a Halifax style donair ever since my trip to the east coast back in August. This certainly brings back fond memories of the amazing donair I had at @tonysdonair in Halifax. 🙌🏻 And the fresh house made chips at B&G were super addictive too! #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #halifaxfood #halifaxeats #halifaxdonair #donair #eastcoastfood #lunchStill in a food coma after going all out and having a record number of dishes @barvonderfels last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. My favorite of the night was the super tender Grilled Beef Tongue topped with Porcini & Brussels Sprouts. 😍 We started the night off with my favorite Bread & Fresh Cheese that was made even more decadent topped with White Truffle! ❤ Next up was the Pink Lady Apple Salad with ricotta, walnuts, & lime. We couldn't get enough of the Lamb Tartare with oyster cream on house made potato crisps. The 🌟 of the show for my friend was of course the Hasselback Potatoes with @fogo_island_fish crab & brown butter whey sauce. This dish never fails to impress! 💯 And I can attest that this dish still reigns supreme 👑 out of ALL the dishes I've had at #barvonderfels . We also had the Roasted Scallops with Oxtail & Green Curry and it was just as flavourful as I had remembered. . . We ended the night with both desserts - the Pear & Cheesecake Trifle and the Churros with salted whey caramel. The luscious Pear & Cheesecake Trifle was our favorite 🤩 and definitely the perfect bite to end this epic dinner with! . . Many thanks to @yung_dop_aoc @mrmichaellove and the whole team for the outstanding food and exceptional hospitality, as always! . . #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #fitforfoodies #beeftongue #amazing #awesomeAfter drooling over all the amazing food @dansgoodside's been eating in Vietnam, I had mad cravings for these spring rolls from @songhuongyyc. These are seriously the best spring rolls in town! On this visit, we also had some freshly steamed Pork & Shrimp Tapioca Dumplings wrapped in banana leaves (Banh Loc Tom Thit Goi La Chuoi). And of course we had to have my favorite Com Hen (sauteéd baby clams with rice). So glad I managed to sneak in a visit before they close for their winter break. 💯 #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #vietnamesefood #comfortfood #songhuongyyc #springrolls #dumplingsBack for my favorite Beef Dip in town! The @brant_lake_wagyu Roast Beef Dip with caramelized onions @marda_loop_meatery, located within @mardaloopmercantile is da 💣! Can't get enough of that consommé reduction! 😍 #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycfoodie #yycliving #brantlakewagyu #wagyubeef #beefdip #mardaloopyyc #albertabeefThese Roasted Scallops tho! ❤ @dougal_king has knocked it out of the park again with these Roasted Scallops with Oxtail and Green Curry. Simply AMAZING! Dare I say this might rival the Hasselback Potatoes to become the new favorite at @barvonderfels?!? Many thanks to @yung_dop_aoc for recommending this dish! . . . #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #scallops #flavorbomb #barvonderfels #amazing #awesomeReally impressed with the new dishes we tried from the winter menu @barvonderfels! One of the stand outs was this fantastic Red Prawn Tostada with pickled vegetables & 3 kinds of basil. The Lamb Tartare with oyster cream was such a creative dish served with the raspberry sumac flatbread. Another favorite was the amazing Celeriac Ravioli with Black Truffle. These perfect little pillows of pasta were filled with creamy luscious celeriac. 😍 Of course we couldn't resist the Bread with Fresh Cheese. And the Bier von der Fels 🍺 is always a favorite. Thanks to @yung_dop_aoc for recommending a really delicious and refreshing white wine, Lagar de Costa Albarino. Can't wait to be back to try more of their winter menu! #yycsbest #yyceats #yycfood #yycfoodie #yycliving #barvonderfels #fitforfoodies #amazing #awesomeSo glad Chef Mikko is back with his @conmitaco Pop-Up (every Tues - Sat) @shelter.yyc until the end of this month. My top faves ❤ from his current menu include: 1. Birria Taco with braised beef cheeks and tongue. It tastes even better topped with some Salsa Verde. 😍 2. Softshell Crab Taco with chili aioli & avocado. It's super addictive with that pineapple habanero salsa! 💕 3. Jalapeno Poppers stuffed with roasted chicken & potato dipped into that chorizo aioli. Simply AMAZING!!! I also look forward to the fantastic #shelteryyc cocktails on every visit. 🥃 #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #mexicanfood #tacolove #tacos #tacopopup #conmitacoThat Hot Chicken Sandwich tho! 😍 Finally went to check out @alumniyyc. Their famous Hot Chicken Sandwich with spicy crispy chicken, slaw, pickles, comeback sauce on a delicious brioche bun did not fail to impress! 💯 So glad we got two to share. It was definitely the 🌟 of the show! On this visit, we also tried the Rosemary Beef Dip and Parmesan Fries. #yyceats #yycfood #yycliving #yycfoodie #meetmeon17th #alumniyyc #hotchicken #hotchickensandwich #lunch #spicygoodnessCouldn't help but ditch our dinner plans and head to @sukiyakihouseyyc for an impromptu visit the other night when we saw all the feature fish they had. 💯 1. Saba (Mackerel) from Japan😍 - some of the best that I've had here! 2. Sawara (Spanish Mackerel) topped with umeboshi ❤ - our favorite bite of the night! 3. Hokkaido Uni - so hard to resist! 🙌🏻 4. Shirako (Cod Milt) topped with marinated daikon 5. Hawaiian Kanpachi (Amberjack) 6. Kuruma Ebi (Japanese Tiger Prawn) 7. Deep Fried Prawn Heads from the Kuruma Ebi 8. The Sawara and Japanese Saba were so amazing we had to have seconds!!! 😍😍😍 9. Yuzu Dengaku (feature appetizer) with yuzu miso, oyster, scallop, mushroom and spinach 10.

CLEVELAND — Bernie Kosar spent more than 10 years in persistent pain, the effects of more than one dozen documented concussions he sustained in 13 years as an NFL quarterback.
There are hits he remembers. There were others, so many others with the Browns, he shook off with smelling salts tucked into the front of his pants on game day.
But the ringing and buzzing in his head never subsided. Kosar couldn't sleep. He slurred his words. His life, troubled by financial woes and a failed marriage, was almost unlivable. He was desperate, masking his misery with medication and trying to pretend things weren't as bad as they seemed.
Desperate for help after tapping into numerous medical resources with limited results, Kosar discovered Dr. Rick Sponaugle, a "pioneer" in brain therapies who runs a wellness institute in Palm Harbor. Kosar claims through Sponaugle's "groundbreaking" work that his symptoms have improved, his brain is healing and he's feeling better than he has in years.
"It was a gift from God to find this and feel like this," Kosar said Thursday, opening up publicly for the first time about his affliction. "I see all the symptoms going away."
Kosar's is spreading the word about his improved condition and his goal is to get help for former teammates and other ex-NFL players dealing with onset dementia, depression and other symptoms caused by playing an inherently violent sport only now coming to terms with the physical toll it has taken on thousands.
Kosar contacted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and told him about Sponaugle, whose complex treatments to improve blood flow in the brain include intravenous therapies along with dietary supplements.
"They are very interested," said Sponaugle, who has spoken to Dr. Elliot Pellman, a league medical advisor. "Why wouldn't they be?" NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the discussions took place.
Kosar said at this press conference in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, that after first meeting Sponaugle, he was "a little skeptical" about getting any results. However, after five days of treatment, the 49-year-old was already feeling a difference.
"I feel 20 years younger," said Kosar,who has lost 40 pounds and is nearly at his playing weight.
Kosar has undergone 15 treatments with Sponaugle, who had him undergo a PET (positron emission tomography) scan to assess the damage to the quarterback's brain. Sponaugle said the majority of Kosar's damage has occurred to the frontal lobe of his brain, affecting his emotions and speech.
Sponaugle compared the trauma Kosar experienced on the football field to that of someone involved in a head-on, car collision.
"Bernie, in effect, put his head through the windshield every Sunday," he said.
While Kosar was receiving treatments last month, he made an appearance on a Cleveland sports talk radio show in which he became emotional and slurred his words. Kosar sounded intoxicated, and some Browns fans surmised he was either drunk or over- medicated.
Kosar said he "wasn't exactly cognizant" of how the appearance came across. Sponaugle, however, wasn't surprised by it after reviewing several scans of Kosar's brain, rattled by years of being hit by defenders and having the back of his helmet s bounced off turf fields in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Houston he described as being as hard as "pavement."
"Once you get decreased blood flow," Sponaugle said, "you're in trouble. I knew why he was weepy. I've seen this in all kinds of people."
Sponaugle did not provide many details about his treatments, which he claims can reverse the effects of brain trauma. He has treated over 8,000 patients, including those with Alzheimer's, war veterans and other NFL players, including an offensive lineman who came to him for help because he was unable to remember the play call between hearing it in the huddle and going to the line of scrimmage.
Kosar has no regrets about playing. He isn't upset with the medical treatment he received as a player or with the league, which has been proactive in recent years about player safety while also fighting lawsuits brought by retired pros looking for compensation.
When Kosar played, leading with the helmet was encouraged.
"The head to head contact was coached," he said. "That's the way you were taught to hit the quarterback."
Kosar made it clear he has no agenda other than to help others get well. His revelation came on the same day researchers from the National Institutes of Health said the late Junior Seau had a degenerative brain disease often linked with repeated blows to the head. Seau ended his life last year by shooting himself in the chest.
Kosar was friends with Seau and former Chicago Bears defensive back Dave Duerson, who also committed suicide.
"I see friends of mine and I think a lot of them are losing hope," he said. "There are hundreds, if not thousands of guys who are dealing with issues and pain and stuff. I tried really hard to find it. I don't think a lot of people know there is hope for them. I hope if there are people and players out there suffering, they have an option and something that can genuinely help them get better in a short amount a time.
"You don't have live the rest of your life in pain and agony."

Met A Girl On The Last Night
Ok, so I just got back from this cruise with my best friends a few days ago. We had a blast, definitely one of the best vacations (if not the best) that I have been on. On the last night, something interesting happened. I met a girl at like 11 PM the last night who seemed really cool and she was beautiful. She was with her mother and grandmother who were actually at the club lol She stayed with me and my friends after her family left. We talked and danced and stuff and she hung out with me and my friends. Then I told her that I was going out on the pool deck for a while and asked her to join, and she did. We sat out there for a while and talked, and we ended up hooking up. Before I walked her to her room, we both agreed that we would keep in contact and she wrote down her info. It�s been a few days and I was joking at first with my friends about liking her and stuff, but I actually believe I had a love at first sight moment. Everything happened so fast and it was just crazy. I find myself still thinking about her a few days after getting back, and we last spoke yesterday. We talked for about two hours or so. As hard as it is to believe, I really like this girl and can�t stop thinking about her. The only problem is that I�m not sure when or how often to text her because we live 12 hours away and even though we spent the last night together I don�t know if it was just a spur of the moment type thing or if she actually thinks about me too. Any info or tips on how and what to say to her? And how often I should talk to her? I mean there had to be some interest if she spent her last night away from her family with me right? I need help!
Two years ago, in December 2010, I went on a cruise with three of my best friends. We went on the Royal Caribbean "Freedom of the Seas". We were all from Toronto Canada, and we were know as the "Canadian girls". Our first night on the cruise, we went to a spot called "the living room", and that's where I met him. He was so beautiful, not like anyone I'd ever seen before. He had a delicate face, and a goofy smile. When he came and sat down next to me, I had instant butterlfies fluttering around in my stomach. We started talking, and he told me his name was Ryan. He had a very thick accent, since he was from South Africa... he almost sounded like a mix of british and australian. Whatever the sound was, it was mesmerizing. My 3 best friends and myself all met guys that night, and we all hung out together as if we'd known each other for years. The days on the cruise progressed, and every moment as soon as I left my cabin, I was praying to run into him. Luckily enough, we always seemed to find each other. We spent most of the days just tanning together, going swimming, and exploring the cruise with our friends. The night time though, that was my most favourite part. We would dance at the disco's with everyone, and then we would sneak off to different parts of the ships to just be alone. Our second last night on the cruise, he snuck me away from everyone, and took me to the very front of the ship ( just like in Titanic) and danced with me, with absolutely no music playing. He just held me close to him, and we swayed back and forth. I kissed his cheek, and looked up at the stars, and prayed for that moment to last forever. I was so afraid of what was about to come. I knew I loved him. I knew he was the one I'd been waiting for. He walked me back to my room, kissed me goodnight, and promised that tomorrow would be the best day of our lives, since it was going to be our last together. I woke up feeling hopeful, but to my dismay his family decided to get off the ship when we docked in Mexico, but my friends and I decided to stay on. I spent the day with my best friends, but all I could think about was him. After dinner, our whole group went to watch the final show in the grande theatre together. He was holding my hand in a way that scared me, very tight, and his face looked full of nerves. We were both not sure how to feel at this point. We went to the disco one last time, and then said our final goodbyes to all our friends. My friends and myself all went off for a couple hours to spend the time we had left with the guys we met on Freedom of the seas. Me and Ryan were walking down one of the hallways, and ran into one of my friends and her guy. We sat outside his room talking for quite a while, and then realized we needed some alone time. We were making our way back down the halls, but would push each other up against the wall and kiss each other every two seconds. We couldn't resist each other. We took one last lap around the ship, and he walked me to my room. There was no guarantee that we would see each other in the morning, seeing as everyone had different times they were getting off the ship. So, this could be it. He held me for what seemed like forever, and kissed me until my lips were sore. When he walked away for the last time, I chased him and kissed him once more. When we finally said our goodbyes, I watched him leave until I couldnt see him anymore, and went into my room, and cried. I cried until I woke up. I couldn't believe the person I'd been waiting for, for so long..just slipped right through my fingers. We boarded off the ship, and went to the side of the road in Florida to wait for a taxi to bring us to the airport. As I was walking to put my suitcase down, I caught a glimpse that I could have sworn was a dream. It was him. Standing there.. waiting for a taxi as well. I ran over, and basically attacked him. I kissed him one last time, and told him that it wasn't goodbye, because we were going to see each other again. I hopped in the cab, and as we drove away John Mayer's "Free Fallin'" was playing on the radio. I listened to the song, as tears streamed down my face waving goodbye to the one person I wanted to never leave.
For 6 months straight, we skyped every day. We told each other we'd see each other soon, and that we would make it. Eventually, we both got really busy, and started losing touch. We still talked frequently ( thanks to BBM), but with him being in Africa, and me being in Canada, it got very hard.
I have a boyfriend now who I just recently moved in with. Ryan, after 7 months of no contact what so ever, told me he is going to New York this December, and asked me to come see him. I've waited two entire years to see him again, and now that I have a boyfriend I'm not sure what to do. My heart is telling me to go to New York.
Love on a cruise is very possible. You feel like your in a dream, and have escaped from reality. It's a beautiful thing.
Go to New York!

You guy crack me up lol, I deff wouldnt reccomend getting all romantic on a cruise because what are the chances you'll see them again? Being good friends and stuff is all good but in my eyes, dating for a week or so is really pointless. But with that said Ive never had a love story but Over my cruises I've met a couple cute girls that im still in contact with.
It's DEFINITELY possible, but I wouldnt reccomend it. You'll just end up with PCD (post cruise depression). Trust me. It's best not to get too attached.

I don't know why I'm writing this...
About a year ago, I went on a cruise during spring break. The Carnival Destiny. It was my second time on this ship and on previous cruises (4 previous) nothing really happened with "love" because I was younger. The first night on the boat, I thought the teen club was nothing special so I didn't bother. I had spotted cute boys all over the boat, but when I decided to go into the teen club the second night that's when I saw him. He was honestly perfect. Well, perfect to me at least. Since it had been Easter, I wore my bunny ears. Hey, it was cute and matches my personality, outgoing. When I walked in he complimented me, "Hey, nice bunny ears!" and smiled. His smile drove me crazy, and don't even get me started on his eyes. Anyways, the night went on and my friend Mikayla started talking to him about me. She told him I thought he was cute and he said I was too! We spent the rest of the nights on the ship flirting. I expected more to escalate with him, but the nights went too fast. When I got off the ship we texted for about two hours. It was innocent flirting but it drove me crazy. He lives half way across the country from me.
A couple months later, I went on another cruise, the Ruby Princess. There was a boy that caught my eye but I didn't want a repeat of the last boy. When I was standing at the ice cream bar, he approached me and asked where I was from, my name, all that. Since I'm from New Jersey, along with my two cousins, we were known as the "Jersey Ladies". He called me his Jersey Lady. Him & I haven't spoken since, but if there was a way possible, I so would. He and I don't even live in the same country. But I did get to kiss him (: It really stinks though because even after meeting a second guy, I still think about the first. I mean could you say he was my first love? Keep in mind, I didn't give all the details, but I just feel like he will always be apart of me. Hey, who knows, maybe I'll see one of them later in life! You never know, maybe I met him for a reason!
Go to new york.
Once in a lifetime.
I went on Carnival Conquest out of Galveston, Texas in 2008.
I was fourteen years old, I mostly wanted to stay to myself.
However, by the third or fourth day I had to admit I wanted
To be around kids my own age and went and checked out the
Teen club. The second I walked in there was a boy that was
Clearly in charge that everyone followed and I was captivated,
Ironically, everyone there was also captivated by the new girl.
Once introduction were made and everyone calmed down he
Walked up to me and talked to me and I acted like I could careless,
(I later found out that he had called "dibbs" on me which is why
None of the other guys I flirted with flirted back. He eventually
Started flirting with me and eventually "proposed" like he had with
All the other girls. We got "married" and still are to this day. We were
Inseparable and I ended up being his first kiss the last night. I'm now
Nineteen and he's eighteen and were still as close as ever, he's Marine,
And I'm I'm college to be a teacher. It's been five years and he's my best
Friend, despite the fact that he lived six hours away and is now in an
Entirely different state hasn't changed a thing, I know without a doubt
In my mind that I'm going to marry him. He's my everything, and it only took four days on a cruise ship when we were fourteen. (:
HAHA Yes! Very possible, especially for teens! Honestly, if you're okay with relatively LDRs, and you have the right mindset, loves are great. I had a friend who met his first love on a cruise, it lasted a year and they loved each other and were best friends. They were both very messed up when it ended. And distance was a joke to them- New Yorker girl and a Berlin boy.
I actually met my very first love on a cruise, we live 2 car hours away from each other and are STILL very much in love. We reminisce about the cruise all the time! I had actually just met a girl that I clicked with, and instantly became good friends. There was some slutty girl at the club hitting on some guy I liked, and so I set out looking for a new guy to make him jealous. 15 minutes later and I met my boyfriend, and of course after some strain, (he ran like a bat out of hell to get his mom to sign the disco papers), he joined me. He wasn't in it to begin with. And the girl actually told him that I was trying to make the other guy jealous. His reply was "Lets see who wins." So I fell for him completely and we spent the whole next day together. I completely ditched the other guy, who I later found out didn't want anything with relationships. Turns out, neither me or my boyfriend had our first kiss before. Being the Titanic junkie that I am, we shared both our first kisses on the 2nd out of 7th day, and there was music playing in the back of the ship. We were all alone at the front, sitting on a stack of lounge chairs. Completely nervous and shaking like freakin bunnies, we talked about having our first kiss for 20 minutes. I finally grew some ladyballs and grabbed his face. It was horrible, so I said lets try again. It was completely perfect, comfortable, and natural. And after that, we were inseparable. Once we got back from port we were either together or looking for each other! It was over Thanksgiving and he actually had dinner with us, he asked (ASKED, LADIES.) to meet my parents! We were barely 15! It was adorable, we didn't do anything inappropriate either except kiss. It was cute because we were frolicking around the night restaurant and the whole staff called me princess and he was prince. Whenever I was with the family they'd wink at me and call me princess just like I was with him! We would kiss in the hot tub, feed each other strawberries in the cafe. I've been all over the world and that trip to Jamaica and Mexico was the most blissful week of my entire life. We got to climb the Duns River falls, just me, him, and the tour guy. Us three- nobody else.We went to shows, ran around, went bowling, swimming, tanning, you name it. The last day was horrible. We actually fell asleep in a lounge from Sea Day frolicking, and he came back and said he had 3 minutes left. It seemed like the entire ship knew us. We cried and cried and I walked him back. His dad came back and saw me turn away. I said I was okay but my face was red and puffy and I head a tear on my cheek. He let him stay for 30 more minutes, and we sat on the stairs in each others arms, cried, and had a last kiss. I went back to our spot on the front of the ship and saw that he wasn't next to me. I realized I had found the perfect guy.
We've been together ever since. We actually lost our virginities to each other just recently, in the comfort of my own bed. Our parents love each other, and approve of the relationship. We basically are one giant family! We're best friends, and I can't wait till summer when he gets to come stay for a few weeks. We also had a ton of mutual friends we had met on the ship- all the cool and nice ones (NON-dramatic) are the best and now our friends. We're still one big cruise family, with me and the BF smack in the middle of the group!
First things first- that was my 17th cruise ship. If you want to find real lasting love, you will NEVER- I repeat NEVER- find it in the teen disco. Ever. Way too petty- multiply school drama x10 and fly at hyperspeed. If you're a cruiser you know what I'm talking about, Bad Girls Club all over again, and if not GET READY. What you need to do, if you want to find it, go to the disco the first night, look hot, and be the first one there. Find someone of the same gender that you have similarities with, and click from there. That's where cliques start. (don't go the first day and rarely get in!) Get to know the teens. Make a best friend. Then the NEXT day you walk around, looking for cute guys that ARE NOT IN THE CLUB.
Also, don't look for love on Royal Carribean (too crowded) or Carnival (too ghetto, you WILL get raped.) Either look for true love on NORWEGIAN (found boyfriend on horrible ship Sky and current boyfriend on the GORGEOUS, CONVENIENT, GREAT STAFF AND PEOPLE- Norwegian Pearl!) or Princess. Holland America is all old people.
Girls there is this VERY HOT STINGRAY LIFEGUARD on Great Stirrup Cay, the Norwegian Private Island. I actually, at 15 told him I was 19 named Lilly and tricked him into taking me to lunch for his break. I left before we even touched! ! He was Australian and blonde and muscled! For the record- it was literally the day before the night I met my first love/boyfriend. Haha!
Sorry for the rant, great topic for me!

Very similar experience- my guy was from Spain! We too continue to Skype every day and are still together. Lucky enough, he moved into the same State as me! I totally agree- he's my first love, and falling in love on a cruise is the most beautiful thing I've experienced, BETTER than any dream... you feel like a princess and he's a prince waiting at every corner. Not to mention the "Staff" as your servants. Ever the passengers treated me like a queen! His friends all said I was beautiful too. Worshiped, served, travelled, and found a first love? PERFECT
And I tricked a South African staffer out to have lunch at the lunch gazebo thing on the private island before I met the BF. (Tricked as in I'm underaged) Left before we ever touched. Next to MY boyfriend, definitely one of the hottest guys I've ever met and had a BEAUTIFUL accent. He went swimming and lended me his diving mask. Closest to kissing him I would let myself get! !
Love lost at sea
About a year ago, I went on the Allure of the Seas. I was 17, and decided to go to the teen club since it would probably be my last cruise before I was 18. Anyways, I walked into the "living room" and sat down. This guy (extremely hot as I might add) immediately caught my attention. The counselor's told us to do this ring of fire thing where the guys make an outward facing circle while the girls make an inward facing circle around the boys. We had to stop at each boy and have a conversation with them for 20 seconds, and it was one of the most awkward things I have ever had to do! There were a couple cute guys I was able to talk to, but all of a sudden, I had to talk to the guy that I already had a major crush on (freaking out here!). He was SO sweet and nice, and immediately after the teen club, we started hanging out. We went to the jacuzzi and stayed there for 3 hours, and eventually had our first kiss. The day after, we were inseparable We played mini golf, rock climbed, and ice skated together (best part). At night, we went to the disco party and stayed out till the ship curfew for teens (1 o'clock). Over the next couple of days we talked on the open decks and found secret hiding places to kiss and such on the second to last day, I did something that was SO risky and some of u might think im a total slut, but i was so in love. We "made love" in his cabin, and it was amazing. The last night, we layed on the deck and looked at the stars. We knew we had to cherish this last night together. We exchanged emails, phone numbers, etc. and then he walked me back to my room. We had the most amazing kiss, and finally, i had to go inside to my cabin. To this day, we are still going out, and about a month ago was our one year anniversary. He lives 2 hours away from me, and he has visited me 3 times. We are both going to the same college....just goes to show you that love on a cruise actually does exist
I just got back from a cruise a few weeks ago and it was perfect. I met a guy and we were best friends but I had a huge crush on him. I thought he was hooking up with a different girl so I didn't say anything about it though. But on the third night or so he told me he liked me and we kissed and it was the best night of my life. We spent the rest of our time on the cruise together but he lives pretty far away from me so I doubted I would ever see him again. We've been talking still and I'm still into him so I'm going to visit him this weekend(:

I've had an interesting experience..
I went on a Carnival cruise this summer and met someone who I think I'm in love with. We met in a hot tub, and we got to know each other pretty fast. Our cruise was a five day sail to Mexico, and I met him on the third day, but we hung out constantly the rest of the trip. He is a dream. We had crushes on each other on the boat, but we both knew it wouldn't work. I wanted it to, but he said he can't see us being more than friends )': He's super athletic, smart, funny, caring, and super warm. And the best and worst part about him, he lives in New Zealand. Worst thing about that, is I live in the U.S... So we didn't work out, but we still do speak.
I hope one day we can someday be together again, but I don't know if that will ever happen.
im a 16 year old guy who lives in miami and i went on disney wonder in november for a week and when i first heard we were going i thought it was going to be boring and childish cause its disney. after the first day i decided to go to the teen club and see what was going on. when i got there i met a lot of cool people but there was one specific person that just caught my eye. the girl is 17. her and i became the closest friends but she was shy so i felt pretty special that she actually liked to talk to me. after a while she told me that she lives in orlando so i would probably never see her again which kinda bummed me out cause she was cool and i really liked her. so on the last day sadly we all had to say bye and i went in for a kiss. she was surprised but happy cause she has wanted to kiss me the whole cruise. so now its been a couple weeks after the cruise and i really miss her but we talk most of the time which is good and she says that she likes me and wants to go out. i really want to but i would never see her. so im hoping to go to orlando and see how it goes but yeah i think you can find love on a cruise.
I hope so
I'm going to northern europe next year with MSC and I hope to meet someone nice =) It won't be easy because i'm brazilian (Speak portuguese) so i'll be a real foreign and they understand each other.. My english isn't perfect so it will be probably more ''hard'' to communicate... (oh and i'm 14) Soo... Good luck to me hahaha
Mac- royal carribean international- liberty of the seas
Default Royal carribean- Liberty of The Seas
On December 24th 2014 I went on a cruise aboard liberty of the seas to Belize and Cozumel. We left from the Fort Lauderdale Port. I'm 16 years old and spent my time with other people my age.
I met a beautiful girl named Sabrina. She and her cousin were playing ping pong on the sports deck so I picked up a paddle and joined them. I talked with Sabrina mostly but that was because her cousin was 13 and shy. The last day on the cruise I was making my way off the ship and saw her again in line. She had to stand in the non-us citizen line. We made eye contact, she smiled at me, and guess what I did? I kept walking. I have so much regret.
I am trying to find her online but all I know is her first name, age, and where she lives. Is there any way to get ahold of a cruise manifest/ passenger list?
I have never in my life left anything up to fate.. But if that's what it takes to talk to her again, than so be it.
Sabrina if you are out there just know this. I will, withouth any doubt, never forget you.
If anyone sees anything online from a French-Canadian girl named Sabrina please reply
- Mac
I am a 16 year old American boy named Mac
Mac 16 year old American boy
P.s. I'm writing this stuff down so Sabrina can find me if she's searching the web
gee, this is probably one of the most interesting topics i've ever seen on a forum!!
Hey, I've never bee on a cruise but i'm probably going on one soon! The main thing i'm looking forward to is to meet some girls, but I have a girlfriend who I love so greatly, i'm not sure if she'll mind, and I don't know how I can ask her "can I date other girls just while i'm away?" in a nice way, and i've been skiing every year since I was 3, i'm 13 now.. and have met girls here and snogged nearly every night the last 2 times we've been, but I asked (we'll call her lucy (thats not her real name)) lucy to be my girlfriend since my last trip away, so i'm not sure.. but I guess we'll have to find out, i'll be back soon to tell you how it went! I've never been on a large cruise, but I went on a 4 day trip in a boat down the Murray River with about 10-15 other families on a fairly large boat, i'll post a comment about that after this!

'Put On Your Strategic Hat'
Learning may be CUs' only sustainable advantage.
Marketers often get so busy doing they forget to put on their "strategic hats," Patrick Adams, master of ceremonies for the 20th Annual CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council Conference, said Monday.
Big mistake.
"Learning may be the only sustainable advantage we have," says Adams, president/CEO of St. Louis Community Credit Union. "If we're a little better and a little faster, we'll win."
It's easy to overestimate how the financial services world will change in two years, but underestimate the changes that will take place 10 years from now, Adams says.
"Twenty years ago, during our first conference, no one was talking about social media or apps," he says. "We were talking about guerilla marketing. Things have changed dramatically."
Adams urged attendees to embrace "context over content, and focus on the big picture.
"We need specialists," he says, "but true leaders cross over" into all areas of the credit union.
"You'll get a lot of ideas here," Adams says, "and you need to put important ideas into place now. They might not pay off immediately, but they will eventually.
"Plant the tree now that people will sit under in 20 years."

About Unimatic1140
I'm confused about something. Was this image registered with the copyright office before the infringement took place or after? I would be surprised if a photographer of a wedding reception would register all of their pictures for every client the shoot images of.
If she registered after the fact isn't it too late to bring on a federal copyright suit? Doesn't the registration need to be done before the infringement?
Just curious I am however on the side of those guys and pro gay marriage, just wondering about the semantics of the law here.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the supreme court already say in Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. (et al., 540 US 806 (2003) that a trademarks cannot be used to try to force a perpetual copyright, when a copyright does not exist or has expired???

Community Matters
You've helped decide the charities Waitrose supports - now we want to do more
Lunch clubs for the elderly, soup runs for the homeless and cooking classes for adults with learning difficulties - we champion thousands of fantastic local projects and charities.
One project we are proud to support is a weekly lunch club in Hampshire, which was the focus of our Christmas advertising campaign. The club was 1 of the 3 monthly Community Matters causes in Waitrose Dibden, Hythe.
"We have a duty to look after the lost and the least and the last. These are the people the church needs to reach out to. It's about having love for those around us." Chris Lund, Church Warden
Every Wednesday, older residents of Hythe are collected in a minibus and served a two-course home-cooked meal at St John's Church hall. On the day of filming, the club was having a Harvest-themed celebration lunch paid for by funds from Waitrose's Community Matters scheme.
St. John's Church warden Chris Lund, has been running the weekly lunch with a dedicated team of volunteers for the past 6 years. He believes it's vital that churches do this everywhere. "We have a duty to look after the lost and the least and the last. These are the people the church needs to reach out to. It's about having love for those around us."
Volunteering at the Bridge Project
Every month, volunteers from Waitrose visit the Bridge Project to teach its members how to cook. As a result, some of those members - adults with learning disabilities - now work in the café of the Sudbury store.
" It's a great confidence booster for all involved," says Shelly Byford, a Waitrose Partner and Volunteer. "The Bridge project is like a community. It's safe, supportive and welcoming place where adults with learning difficulties can come to learn new skills. Waitrose provides a van and driver to help us deliver meals to vulnerable adults who can't cook for themselves."
The MK Soup Run
Another organisation we are proud to support is the MK Soup Run in Milton Keynes.
The MK Soup Run is a group of volunteers who travel around the town distributing tea, coffee and soup to over 50 homeless people a night.
"Christmas is particularly important for us. It's our job to show that the community cares and there is hope." Paul Brookman,Volunteer
Volunteer, Paul Brookman, told Waitrose Kitchen magazine how the Community Matters scheme has a made a difference to the group, and why the work they do for the homeless is important, especially during the winter months. "Last year, we received £860 from our local Waitrose. It made a huge difference, enabling us to carry on for another 6 months. Christmas is particularly important for us. It's our job to show that the community cares and there is hope."

Kansas coach Bill Self was happy with how his team responded after leading scorer Marcus Morris was ejected for a flagrant elbow to the head.
What led to the ejection is what had Self so bothered after another win.
Markieff Morris had 21 points and 10 rebounds and No. 3 Kansas overcame the ejection of his twin brother to beat California 78-63 in a testy game Wednesday night.
"It was ridiculous," Self said. "We obviously contributed a great amount to it. I think Cal was chippy also, but we didn't handle it very well. We let it bother us too much and had to get the last word in. I was disappointed in how our guys reacted, really disappointed in Marcus. He got exactly what he deserved."
Freshman Josh Selby scored 18 points in his second game since an NCAA suspension and the Jayhawks (11-0) remained unbeaten and handed the Golden Bears (6-5) their third loss in four games.
This marked Kansas' 10th straight win over Cal. But instead of being remembered for Selby's sweet outside shooting or Morris' strong play inside, this one will be remembered for the chippy second half that featured one flagrant foul, Marcus Morris' ejection and three technical fouls.
"If they want to initiate a physical game, I feel very strongly we'll end up on the winning side," Kansas forward Thomas Robinson said.
Jorge Gutierrez scored 15 points, Allen Crabbe had 11 and Markhuri Sanders-Frison added 10 points and 12 rebounds for Cal. Coach Mike Montgomery failed in his first try to win his 600th career game.
Tyrel Reed scored 18 points and Thomas Robinson added seven points and 10 rebounds for the Jayhawks, who improved to 4-0 against Pac-10 teams this season. Unlike home victories over USC and UCLA, this one didn't go down to the wire.
The Jayhawks scored the first nine points of the second half, highlighted by a three-point play from Selby, to take a 47-30 lead. But Cal responded with a 13-0 run, sparked by a 3-pointer by Crabbe that was followed by Marcus Morris' elbow to Harper Kamp's head.
Kamp made both free throws for a five-point trip, while Morris was ejected after scoring eight points.
"The thing that bothers me in basketball is when guys put their own agendas ahead of their team. That's very, very, very selfish," Self said. "That was about as bad a basketball play as I've ever seen."
The chippiness continued from there with Gutierrez and Robinson getting into a scrum during a fight for a loose ball. Gutierrez jumped up off the court angry at Robinson and had to be held back by Montgomery.
Other Cal players had to be held back on the bench as the officials tried to settle things down. Both players got technical fouls after the officials checked the replay monitor.

I highly recommend reading it in its entirety:
It was a year of Hope -- at first in the sense of "I feel hopeful!'' and later in the sense of "I hope this year ends soon!''
It was also a year of Change, especially in Washington, where the tired old hacks of yesteryear finally yielded the reins of power to a group of fresh, young, idealistic, new-idea outsiders such as Nancy Pelosi. As a result Washington, rejecting "business as usual,'' finally stopped trying to solve every problem by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at it and instead started trying to solve every problem by throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars at it.
To be sure, it was a year that saw plenty of bad news. But in almost every instance, there was offsetting good news:
BAD NEWS: The economy remained critically weak, with rising unemployment, a severely depressed real-estate market, the near-collapse of the domestic automobile industry and the steep decline of the dollar.
GOOD NEWS: Windows 7 sucked less than Vista.
BAD NEWS: The downward spiral of the newspaper industry continued, resulting in the firings of thousands of experienced reporters and an apparently permanent deterioration in the quality of American journalism.
GOOD NEWS: A lot more people were tweeting.
BAD NEWS: Ominous problems loomed abroad as -- among other difficulties -- the Afghanistan war went sour, and Iran threatened to plunge the Middle East and beyond into nuclear war.
GOOD NEWS: They finally got Roman Polanski.
In short, it was a year that we will be happy to put behind us. But before we do, let's swallow our anti-nausea medication and take one last look back, starting with. . . .
. . . during which history is made in Washington, D.C., where a crowd estimated by the Congressional Estimating Office at 217 billion people gathers to watch Barack Obama be inaugurated as the first American president ever to come after George W. Bush. There is a minor glitch in the ceremony when Chief Justice John Roberts, attempting to administer the oath of office, becomes confused and instead reads the side-effect warnings for his decongestant pills, causing the new president to swear that he will consult his physician if he experiences a sudden loss of sensation in his feet. President Obama then delivers an upbeat inaugural address, ushering in a new era of cooperation, civility and bipartisanship in a galaxy far, far away. Here on Earth everything stays much the same.
The No. 1 item on the agenda is fixing the economy, so the new administration immediately sets about the daunting task of trying to nominate somebody -- anybody -- to a high-level government post who actually remembered to pay his or her taxes. Among those who forgot this pesky chore is Obama's nominee for Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, who sheepishly admits that he failed to pay $35,000 in federal self-employment taxes. He says that the error was a result of his using TurboTax, which he also blames for his involvement in an eight-state spree of bank robberies. He is confirmed after the Obama administration explains that it inherited the U.S. Tax Code from the Bush administration.
Elsewhere in politics, a team of specially trained wildlife agents equipped with nets and tranquilizer darts manages, after a six-hour struggle, to remove Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office. He is transported to an undisclosed swamp, where he is released into the wild and quickly bonds with the native ferret population.
. . . that Congress passes, without reading it, and without actually finishing writing it, a stimulus package totaling $787 billion. The money is immediately turned over to American taxpayers so they can use it to stimulate the economy.
No! What a crazy idea THAT would be! The money is to be doled out over the next decade or so by members of Congress on projects deemed vital by members of Congress, such as constructing buildings that will be named after members of Congress. This will stimulate the economy by creating millions of jobs, according to estimates provided by the Congressional Estimating Office's Magical Estimating 8-Ball.
Despite this heroic effort, the economy continues to stumble. General Motors, which has sold only one car in the past year -- a Buick LaCrosse mistakenly purchased by an 87-year-old man who thought he was buying a power scooter -- announces a new four-part business plan, consisting of (1) dealership closings; (2) factory shutdowns;(3) worker layoffs; and (4) traveling backward through time to 1955.
The stock market hits its lowest level since 1997; this is hailed as a great investment opportunity by all the financial wizards who failed to let us know last year that the market was going to tank. California goes bankrupt and is forced to raise $800 million by pawning Angelina Jolie.
The Obama administration's confirmation woes continue as Tom Daschle is forced to withdraw as nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services following the disclosure that he, too, failed to pay all of his federal taxes. He blames this oversight on the fact that his tax returns were prepared by Treasury Secretary Geithner.
The Academy Awards are a triumph for Slumdog Millionaire, which wins eight Oscars, only to have them stolen by Somali pirates. . .

Once again, the RPCVs of Colorado are an official community partner of the Starz Denver Film Festival!
This year, we have chosen to partner on screening Belisario Franco's haunting documentary "Eternal Amazon".
At a time when the world is focused on the impact of humans on the environment, Eternal Amazon is a lyrical, poetic documentary that presents a critical analysis of how the world's largest tropical rainforest is understood and utilized. Exploring the Amazon's five million square kilometers - which are home to countless plant and animal species, and 20% of the world's freshwater reserves - the film asks whether it is possible for humans to make sustainable use of the rainforest. Executives, politicians and environmentalists working together with indigenous tribes and riverbank communities are currently constructing a model for using nature that can extract its resources while generating work and income, with minimal environmental impact.
Tickets for this event are $20, which includes a movie ticket and a post-screening reception that includes hors d'oeuvres, wine and beer. You may pick up tickets in the lobby of the film center beginning an hour before the screening. Please find the RPCVCO table.
You can watch a trailer for this film here http://youtu.be/wUImSHBi0ik

Can generic makers be sued for drug flaws?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will decide whether generic drug manufacturers can be held responsible in state courts for possible design defects that are in the brand-name medicine they are copying.
The high court on Friday agreed to hear an appeal from Philadelphia-based Mutual Pharmaceutical, manufacturer of the generic, anti-inflammatory drug sulindac.
Karen Bartlett was awarded $21.6 million after claiming a design defect in sulindac caused blindness and severe burning of her skin and mucus membranes. But Mutual says they shouldn't have to pay because they made sulindac exactly the same way as its brand-name equivalent, Clinoril, as required by federal law.
The court last year said generic manufacturers are not responsible for failing to warn consumers of possible side effects if they copy the exact warnings from their brand-name equivalents.
