Did you think that was the right age? Why?
sort by best latest
Oh, boy--LOL
I did not date in high school. Not because I wasn't "allowed," but because I found boys to be immature and annoying. I remained a card-carrying member of the "I hate boys" club that afflicts most very young girls. I did not go to my proms, because I had no interest in doing so.
However, I did meet a guy about a year after graduation, and that was my first date. It was also my first marriage. Was I ready? No. Was I old enough? No. Legally, yes, but emotionally, no. We had 2 kids, and stayed together until they were grown and out of the house before splitting up after 30 years of marriage, the last 15 of which were pretty much a joke and in name only.
Shortly after that, I met my current husband, who is actually my "soulmate." So, I married my first and then my second date. LOL This time, I'm happy.

I was probably 16/17 when I had my first "serious" girlfriend.
Like most teens I believed I was "grown" or mature and was ready to take on the world. I thought the adults didn't know what they were talking about and had never "felt" the way (we) felt and so forth. Like a lot of "first love" relationships we thought it was also our "last love" and we'd go off to college, get married, have children, and live happily ever after...some day.
We were fools!
We were too immature to realize how "unrealistic" we were!
First and foremost "teen love" is completely different from (adult) love. A teenager has no obligations, no overbearing boss, a demanding job, mortgage/rent, car note, and utilities to pay. The most stress they have to deal with is doing homework and obeying their parents. The rest of the time they can "fantasize" about their future together.
During our teen years our hormones are also raging coupled with our lack of relationship experience we quickly make assumptions and (completely immerse ourselves into one another) oftentimes at the expense of losing our own identity. Many teen couples (act) as if they're already Mr. & Mrs.!
The truth is most of us (fail our way to success) when it comes to relationships. Our "shopping list" of traits we want in a mate will change dramatically over the years! This makes it highly unlikely one is going to meet their "soul mate" at age 15,16, 18, or even at 21. Truth be told we have not figured out (who we are) let alone what we need.
I think it's great to have that "first love" and experience being "in love" while living in a (safe cocoon) where one's parents are taking care of all their material needs. The only way an adult couple can experience that kind of freedom to love like that is if they win the lottery and have none of the stresses that we typically have. This explains why people often look back on their "first love" with so much fondness. Everything was (new) and life was "carefree".
I do believe age 16/17 is ideal to start forming relationships, going out on dates to movies, football/basketball games, dances, proms, and other school functions. I just wish we were mature enough to know that we're simply gathering dating/relationship experience at that stage in life.
Having unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others during our teen years leads to the biggest heartbreak of all. However with pain comes growth and wisdom.

I got my first boyfriend at 19. It was my freshman year of college. I'm glad I never dated in high school. All my friends did and it was so much drama.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I was eighteen and just out of high school when I got involved in my first serious relationship. I have always been a bit shy when it comes to the opposite sex and as a result, I never really dated in high school.
For many years, I regretted the fact that I missed out on the whole high school dating scene. Now that I am older, I really do not give it much thought, but at the time it made me feel inexperienced. It seemed that I missed out on so much.

What drives your work?
Envirocare's work touches the cross-cutting issues of poverty, gender and environment. This has given me the opportunity to be in touch with people in need, especially children and women. For them it is vital to address both environmental degradation and wealth creation to tackle poverty. From the beginning of my work, I wanted people to understand the potential and blessing of the natural resources we have in Tanzania. I also wanted my fellow citizens to appreciate, respect and care for the environment while engaging in developmental activities to protect and conserve it for present and future generations.
This is why I have started projects that help people, children and women to start their own income generation projects that are environmentally friendly. For example, we targeted families caring for more than 400 orphans and vulnerable children in Iringa and Mara region with projects including tailoring, chalk-making, carpentry, welding, food processing, tie-dye and farming. The projects have empowered them economically as well as socially.
I have helped primary school teachers and pupils to start growing nutritious food crops in their school gardens in order to get a healthy diet in school without compromising their studies. In the process pupils are being nurtured to learn how to produce healthy food and care for the environment even as young farmers. As it is said," teach your children while they are still young and they will never forget". These will be future responsible farmers who will produce sustainably.

Welcome back Dear Readers.
For this weeks edition of
Old Friends, New Friends
we go back to
a simpler time,
when the pyrotechnics
necessary to create stunning animation
consisted of many
beautiful, and intricate
Ornate cut outs that reminded me
of Balinese Shadow Puppets.
All of this is combined with
a fantastic story
an exotic and colourful score
that brought
to mind
the music of
Aram Khachaturian.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching
The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
I was swept off
to a faraway land.
to a faraway land.
You'll be too!
The Adventures of Prince Achmed (German: Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed) (Arabic: مغامرات الامير احمد) is a 1926 feature-length animated film by the German animator Lotte Reiniger. It is the oldest surviving animated feature film (two earlier ones were made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani, but they are considered lost[1]), and it featured a silhouette animation technique Reiniger had invented which involved manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead under a camera. The technique she used for the camera is similar to Wayang shadow puppets (though hers were animated frame by frame, not manipulated in live action). The original prints featured color tinting. The story is based on the elements taken from the collection 1001 Arabian Nights, specifically The Story of Prince Ahmed and the Fairy Paribanoufeatured in Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book. With the assistance of Aladdin, the Witch of the Fiery Mountain, and a magic horse, the title character battles the evil African sorcerer to win the hand of Princess Pari Banou.

Moody's Liquidity-Stress Index (LSI) fell for a ninth straight month as it declined to 5.9% in December from 6% the month prior, according to the rating agency's recent SGL Monitor Flash. This bodes well for a benign default environment in 2017, Moody's said, though it represents a contrarian view on the insolvency outlook when compared with reports from other sources. A fall in the index occurs when corporate liquidity appears to improve and rises when it appears to weaken.
"The LSI enters 2017 on a much calmer tone than it began 2016, with the energy sector strains that drove liquidity weakness and pushed up defaults now moderating," said Moody's Senior Vice President John Puchalla. "Meanwhile, a steady stream of new speculative-grade issuance continues to provide lower-rated companies with liquidity support, while generally positive economic sentiment should help them maintain healthy cash flows."
Moody's cited company-specific and transaction-related issues as the reason that downgrades exceeded upgrades in its speculative-grade liquidity (SGL) ratings and predicted that SGL rating volatility will lessen this year as the energy sector stabilizes.
Combined speculative-grade loan and bond issuance increased about 20% in 2016 as investors continued to hunt for yield in an environment of low interest rates. The chance of higher interest rates in 2017 could create challenges for companies with weak operating performance and low ratings, but such challenges won't be of the same magnitude as energy companies faced in 2016, Moody's said.

One day tour to Vlora and along the Ionian coast
Booking code CUMD54
1 Days € 60
-Guided walk in Vlora and Llogara National Park
-Guided visit of the characteristic village of Dhërmi and the monastery of Panajinas
- Boat trip along the Ionian coast from Dhërmi to Jali.
-Several bathing possibilities during the boat trip.
08: - 11:30. Transfer to Vlora and Llogara National Park.
Vlora is situated in the southwestern part of Albania, exactly where the two seas meet: the most southern part of Adriatic Sea and northern part of Ionian Sea. The most ancient traces of Vlora date back to the period of antiquity. Since VI century B.C. four towns were built up in Vlora bay: Oricum, Thronion (Kanina), Triporti and Aulona. The most ancient traces of civilization belong to Oricum, which still keeps the old ruins of the city. Oricum, with its fortified walls, played a very important role in the war between Cesar and Pompey. The most significant historical event for Vlora is the Proclamation of Independence on 28 November 1912.
After a short walk through the city we will be driven to the Llogara national Park, where a short coffee break is planned. The park represents one of the most amazing places in Albania. With an area of 1020 ha, Llogara is covered with everlasting greenery. A special natural element and very typical for Llogara is the Flag Pine (Pisha Flamur). It has the shape of a flag as a result of the strong southeastern winds. An amazing part of this geo-park is the balcony" in Llogara pass, at the height of 1050m, where the Ionian Sea can be seen. There a short photo break is planned.
11:30 - 12:00: Coffee break
12:00 - 13:00: Drive to Dhërmi and visit of the monastery of Panajinas.
The old village is set into the mountain and is one of the oldest and most characteristic villages on the Ionian Coast. We will visit the monastery of Panajinas with its XV century church and engravings.
13:00 - 18:00: Boat tour along the Ionian coast.
The first stop is at the Pirate's Cave. The cave is more than 30 m long, 8 m wide and 10 -12 m high. A stone block pillar divides the entry into two parts. We will enter the cave, if the sea is calm.
The tour continues in the direction of Ngjipe. The canyon of Ngjipe is situated along the lower part of Ngjipe stream, between Vuno and Ilias. It is formed by water erosion, is more than 2 km long and 100 m deep. Walking along its length is particularly impressing. The landscape is attractive, the beach is clean and the water clear. The last stop is at Jali bay.
18:00 :21:00 Transfer to the hotel in Tirana.
If you are coming in a prearranged group, you can pick the date of this tour yourself.
The journey begins in Tirana and we will pick you up at your hotel.
If you are accommodated in another city, we can pick you up against additional charge, enabling your participation in the travel.
If you are a group staying in another city, it is possible to start the tour from that location at no additional charge, distance permitting.
Number of the participants 7 - 8

NEW YORK -- Yikes, a few months of rough times and suddenly we're mired in a dystopian future where fuel is scarce and law and order has begun to break down. Actually we lifted most of that from Wikipedia's plot summary for "Mad Max," but this Times story on the decrepit state of some landlord-abandoned apartment buildings throughout the city certainly bangs home that message. Holy '70s, Batman:
In the Bronx, anybody can walk into the four-story building at 422 East 178th St. Someone took the front door off the hinges and sold it for scrap metal. Drugs have been sold out of vacant apartments.

Two remote areas of the Fairfax electorate will get new mobile phone towers to fix annoying black spot issues, Nambour-based senator James McGrath announced.
New towers will be built at Belli Park and Dulong, as part of the Australian Government's Mobile Black Spot Program.
"Mobile phone communications is so important these days, not just for social reasons, but also for the needs of business and emergency services, so the improved coverage in these areas will be greatly welcomed," Senator McGrath said.
"The region continues to grow, so it's nice to know that mobile phone services around Belli Park, Kenilworth and Dulong will get better."
The issue of mobile phone black spots was also raised by Senator McGrath during senate estimates hearings late last month. He had at the time acknowledged personal frustration that his own home was also located in a black spot area.
"I know the frustration and inconvenience caused by poor phone signals, but my inconvenience is nothing compared to the hardships suffered by many other Queenslanders," he said during the estimates hearings.
"It's important that we continue to keep pushing forward to have these coverage shortcomings addressed all across Queensland, and that's what I'm doing.
"The Mobile Blackspot Program is a great initiative and shows we are delivering on an election promise."
The two Fairfax blackspot locations are among 68 mobile phone base stations that will be built or upgraded across Queensland, with work expected to start later this year. The rollout is expected to take around three years.
The total cost of the Queensland program is around $53.85 million.

Thousands of families throughout the Puget Sound area have turned to NLE Law during some of the toughest times in their lives.

Auto Accident Case Testimonials
Lexi Robinson - Pedestrian Accident and Brain Injury/Pituitary Damage
Lexi Robinson was a bright, outgoing and athletic middle school student who ran track, played lacrosse and attended many sporting events with her friends. While walking with her friends after a volleyball game, she was hit by a car in a crosswalk.
At the time, her injuries appeared superficial - a broken tooth, a broken nose and bruising on her body. However, within six months, her personality began to change. She went from being happy and outgoing to moody and irritable, lost interest in the activities she loved, and suffered from headaches and fatigue.
Lexi's mother Ann Marie, herself a former client, contacted NLE Law. Thanks to our insight into brain injury, we recommended that Lexi see a number of specialists who diagnosed her with damage to the pituitary gland. Lexi's brain injury was causing a growth hormone deficiency, chronic headaches and narcolepsy, which made it impossible for her to get enough rest to learn or do well in school.
From the beginning, NLE was focused on helping Lexi get the best possible medical care and rebuild her life.
Lexi put it this way: "I was able to be put in contact with some amazing specialists and doctors who have helped me really put my life back together, and I don't that if I'd been represented by anyone else I would've found those doctors. I really owe so much to NLE."
Her mother added: "Had it not been for NLE, who knows if this would've ever been diagnosed. Their focus has just always been on giving her the best life that she possibly can and finding the right answers to fit her needs. She wasn't just a file to them."
Amy & Brandon - Automotive Accident and Brain Injury
"We are still in shock! It's hard to believe that this is really over! Brandon and I are so thankful for all of your hard work on our behalf. This is an enormous blessing and we know we would not be here without you. Sherry, you have been a tremendous pillar of support, confidence, strength and tenaciousness seeing this case through while seeing us through the storm. You have acted as a friend, advocate and cheerleader while maintaining a professional and optimistic attitude. There are not enough things I can say to express the gratitude that Brandon and I feel for your HUGE role in our lives over the past 2 years. This is a little bitter sweet. Thank you!!! We pray that you can continue to be such a consistent blessing in the lives of your current and future clients. It has been an enormous pleasure working with you, in and out of the office.
With my respect and adoration,
Reidun Harjo - Automobile Accident and Brain Injury/Death
Reidun Harjo and her husband were driving when a tractor collided with their car, throwing them off the road and into a ditch. Only moments after the impact, Reidun's husband drew his last breaths and passed away in the seat next to her. Later that night at the hospital, Reidun was examined and found to have sustained a concussion and severe head trauma. Following the accident, she suffered extensive memory loss and was unable to read for a period of time. After talking her situation over with a friend, Reidun decided she could not handle her brain injury case on her own.
Reidun met with Mike Nelson and the NLE team to seek monetary damages for the pain and suffering her accident had caused her. Eventually, Reidun and her team decided to settle her case outside of court to avoid stressful and costly litigation.
Regarding her experience working with NLE, Reidun recalled the following: "My lawyer team [was] just the most amazing, compassionate people that you could ever work with. All of NLE and all his [Mike's] staff, they're just precious people; I just loved them all. We became like family. I am so blessed and my life is so different because of them. I'm so eternally grateful to Mike and his team."
Traumatic Brain Injury Case Testimonials
Adrien Gault - Football Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury
Adrien Gault suffered traumatic brain injury at the age of 17 while playing high school football. Adrien suffered a concussion but was returned to play football without receiving appropriate medical clearance. During the game, Adrien took a seemingly typical hit and collapsed on the field. He developed Second Impact Syndrome and was compelled to undergo a life-saving craniotomy. Adrien's severe brain injury and Second Impact Syndrome occurred because he was not appropriately monitored and required to obtain medical clearance before returning to play after his first concussion. Hear more about his story and how NLE Law helped him.
Michaela Dennehy - High School Soccer Concussion & Brain Injury
Because Michaela Dennehy began playing on her high school soccer team after the regular season began, she was never given the necessary paperwork and medical forms to fill out. Without the information found in these forms, Michaela was unaware of the common signs and symptoms of sports-related concussions. Michaela suffered a concussion during a Friday night practice and was told to simply rest up and take it easy by her coach. Unaware of the severity of her head injury, Michaela played in a soccer game the following Friday. During this game, she was hit in the head with the ball and suffered a second concussion.
After receiving two sports-related concussions in just one week, Michaela suffered the significant and unpleasant consequences of migraines, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, and difficulty concentrating. As a result of her brain injury, Michaela temporarily lost her ability to speak and write properly, and she was barely able to complete her senior year and graduate with passing grades. In addition, she was required to take a year off between high school and college to continue recovering.
Before Michaela and her family first met with the NLE team, they were apprehensive about working with an attorney and were unsure if a legal team could provide the compassion and empathy their case required. With the help of Fred Langer's nursing experience and medical background, however, the Dennehys were able to work with, some of the best brain injury doctors in the area. The NLE legal team stayed with Michaela through every step of her recovery, and she now uses her experience to speak to others about preventing concussions in sports.
Disability Denial Testimonials
Aaron G. - Disability Denial
Aaron G. has been suffering through back pain for a majority of his adult life from an injury he sustained in the United States Army and an automobile accident. After 31 years working for the same employer, Aaron reached a point where he was unable to return to work due to pain, so he applied for long term disability. Even though his company was behind him, the insurance company denied his claim. NLE helped him through the legal process to win his long term disability case.
Don - Multiple Sclerosis Disability Denial
After being employed by the same company for many years, Don lost the ability to do his job due the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. Once his MS affected his system to the stage where he could no longer work, Don applied for disability and was denied coverage by the insurance company. Following the insurance denial, Don contacted NLE who convinced the insurance company to pay the disability benefits he was due.
Client Reviews
June, 2015 - Seven months after the accident ... I was frustrated ... struggled to function and communicate, and could barely write an email. Your team helped me get on a care path that got me the medical attention and support that I needed to get well. Without the peace of mind that you had my back, I can honestly say that my prospects would be bleak right now. I think anyone that has had an injury needs to have the care and support of a competent legal team, and I fully endorse NLE Law...
Elizabeth LePley took on my ERISA (Long Term Disability) case after dozens of other local attorneys had either declined my case, did not specialize in ERISA, or only represented insurance companies in ERISA cases. National firms based in other states had offered to take on the case, but based on conversations with them, they did not seem to want to invest much time, they would not meet with me locally, I would have had to mail them all of my information. My perception was they would take on every case possible, invest little time, and just be happy with those they won because they were a slam dunk. With little time left for my appeal, Elizabeth met with me, obtained my complete files from the insurance company, and assembled a detailed response based on medical examinations detailing my current condition, and comparing that to my past work history and abilities. She disputed in detail the reports made by those hired by the insurance company. The results were a successful appeal, and a restoration of my benefits. She has experience in ERISA law, the insurance companies (probably the one relevant to your case), and the strategies and tactics employed by them. Go to her first.
Anna S.
I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate your prevailing with the subrogation stuff. It's still amazing to me... I want you to know that it helps reduce my anxiety, and I view it as an heroic effort, not just business as usual. I am grateful for the effort you made on my behalf.
Thanks again,
Dear Aaron,
Yes, the Hartford has provided us with a monthly check x 2 months so far, and I expect they will not try to contact me directly again.
Thank you so much, Aaron, for all you have done.
Dear John,
As you know, my claim has been extremely difficult for me.
I appreciate everything you have done for me.
To the entire NTL team - I'm so very thankful to each of you for all your hard work, dedication & support - I can't tell you how much this win means to me & my family. Enjoy!
Great! I will send it now. BTW....Sabrina, I cannot thank you enough for helping me from beginning to current. You have been beyond professional and very friendly. In my time of crisis and need you have helped put me at ease and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dear Aaron;
I wanted to "Thank You" for all the hard work you did on my case. I sooo appreciate it. I know that you read every single last page of my case and I also know that it's also not the most important case you have. You were so amazingly prepared and so professional. No wonder Fred & John snapped you up to work with them. From teasing you about being a "2nd year" to the final minutes of the mediation, I was struck by how well you had everything - and I do mean everything - under control.
Aaron, my biggest regret is this: I wish you had come to my firm several years ago before my disability hit, because you are a lawyer I would have really enjoyed working with. You have a wonderful sense of humor, you're prepared and professional. The best of luck to you in your career (although you really don't need it, you are going to do very, very well.) I truly enjoyed having you as my attorney, and I want to thank you so much for the time you not only put into reading my case, but the time you took with me on the phone explaining things.
I have a lot of trust and faith in you, kid!
Jolyn 2
Dear Fred;
I wanted to say "Thank You" for all the hard work, long hours, and many, many discussions you've had with different doctors and attorneys regarding my case. I know that you worked very, very hard and all too often, after the settlement, that's it. But I couldn't let it go by without thanking all of you. You all worked so hard on my behalf and we truly appreciate it. I know my case was not the biggest case you have (truth to tell) it was probably one of the smallest but never once when I called you or John and later on, Aaron, did I ever feel that my case was not worth bothering with. All of you helped me during a tremendously stressful time in my life and I thank you so much for it. Thank you for deciding to take my case in the first place and I am soooo glad Anne Kysar recommended you. This is something lawyers don't often hear - but Fred, you've made a difference in my life, and it's not all in my wallet. Thank you so much!
Don & Karen
Mike & Staff
Thank you for all you have done for us and all you continue to do!
You are all awesome -
Don & Karen
Hello All!
Just a quick note to let each one of you know that you are very much appreciated! Despite our short... but... sweet... relationship... I can honestly say that each one of you made a significant mark on the pages of my life story. I never anticipated having to dig so deep within myself for strength... will... courage... and trust. Historically... I have not known such fear... or felt so overwhelmed by entities I was conditioned to trust. So... through it all... you as individuals as well as a team, cautiously, accepted me as a client... and methodically, with confidence, integrity, compassion, humor lead me, directed me & finessed me as we progressed from one step to the next. Ultimately ~ our goals did change ~ and you guided me... in conclusion, to the best action for all - and for that I am so very blessed & thankful.
Mike, Tom & Anita,
Thank you, again, for everything last week. I felt very prepared for my disposition. I know that you have many other cases, but you made me feel as if my case, & my injury, are important. Have a wonderful holiday & I look forward to working with you in the coming year.

JOHN DeCaro's improved form has driven Sheffield Steelers to the top of the league.
But his quality in goal hardly comes as a shock to his buddies in the dressing room.
Winger Jason Hewitt says: "It is no surprise to us at all how well Johnny is playing.
"He has taken a lot of heat, recently. He is a quiet guy who acts though it doesn't bother him but I am sure it does.
"We (the players) are behind him, the ownership are behind him, and we are top of the League right now. (Two points clear of Belfast Giants, who won 4-0 in Cardiff on Thursday.)
"Playing as well as Johnny did in that massive game at Nottingham in front of 7,000 people will have helped his confidence."
Forward Colin Shields added: "He is big goalie and his pads take up so much space that forwards have to take 'bad' shots - they think you have to shoot right away.
"He has had a boost in the last two wins and that will roll on into this weekend."
Steelers host Nottingham Panthers tonight and Sheffield defenceman Danny Meyers is keen to distance himself from his old club.
"I'm no longer the former Panthers' Captain Danny Meyers, and I'm the Steeler Danny Meyers," says the 29-year old d-man.
"I was a committed Steeler from the day I arrived here, I think some other people, fans, former team mates and even the media have been trying to harp on about the past where as I'm all about the future.
"I hope after last Saturday's game in Nottingham and tonight's game here against the Panthers we can exorcise all conversations about my Nottingham connections and I can get on with playing for the Steelers and winning championships.
"Nottingham will come in here looking for revenge, they will be hurt from last Saturday's loss.
"But in the same way we are confident and are playing well.
"Sure they have made a couple of big signings this week. Guy Lepine may or may not be here but their NHL "lock out" guy Anthony Stewart has a great resume and of course he will be looking to make an impact.
"We have enough good players of our own here as not to worry about any of Nottingham's."

Buridan's ass paralyzed into inaction by an unpredictable future. The card was telling me what I already knew, what I had been experiencing for the past few months as I tried to juggle an increasing number of obligations while fighting to keep down my frustration at not making very much progress on any of them.
Obligation and Divination
Throughout my life, I have been pretty good at following my intuition, listening for the cues of my subconscious to help guide me in making important life decisions. It was this kind of listening that led me to choose the college I ended up attending — where I met several people who would change my life, where I had the opportunity to do independent research that eventually led me to my Pagan path, and where I earned a degree as valedictorian of my college class. It was by listening to my intuition that I found myself moving across the state to the lovely city of Pittsburgh — where I first entered a graduate school program and then left it for being wholly unsuitable to my personality, where I found a job as a waitress (against everyone's hopes and expectations) and spent five years wandering spiritually and intellectually in ways I never could have if I'd settled down and gotten a "real" job. It was intuition that led me to seek out a connection with Jeff, who happened to have connections in Pittsburgh through both family and work and who eventually took a leap of faith of his own and moved here to be with me. And it was intuition that prodded me into taking a trip across the ocean to the land of my ancestors, despite being terrified of both airports and flying, and having never traveled alone or abroad before.
But these were all times when a singular opportunity presented itself, and I had a simple choice to make: stay, or go. Now, I found myself in a much more complicated situation, with almost endless possibilities any of which might be fruitful depending on how I chose to direct my energies. I also had more responsibilities and obligations, not least of which were the children to whom I'd soon become a stepmom. And so I also had a pressing sense that it was important to make a choice of some kind and follow through with it, rather than languishing passively and allowing Spirit to drag me along where it would. I had spent a lot of time cultivating my will and honing my skills — now, I felt a strong and definite call to step up and be active in my own destiny, to act out my gratitude for the blessings of my life by taking a more directive role in the work I would do in the future. But of course, that work still needed to be grounded in Spirit and soul-longing.
So now seemed to be a good time to look towards the symbolism of divination to provide some clear, almost blatantly literal guidance where more subtle intuition was failing me. (Or, as the case may more likely be, hinting at an ambivalence and frustration I didn't want to acknowledge or confront.) One evening, after a day of inexplicable anxiety and sadness, when I once again drew the Seven of Cups — it finally dawned on me to follow up with a reading asking for clarity, specifically on my writing.
I drew three cards: one to represent the kind of choice that would lead to a path that was harmful, unhealthy or deeply dissatisfying; one to represent the kind of choice that would lead to a path that would be beneficial, fruitful and spiritually fulfilling; and one to represent a middle way, a choice-that-was-not-a-choice that would inevitably lead me back again to this point of indecision to relearn the lessons I had not learned the first time.
For the first, I drew the Page of Wands, a card of child-like innocence, enthusiasm and charm, often representing someone of exuberant activity and light-heartedness. The Page is the less mature, more child-like expression of feminine qualities in the masculine suit of the energetic wands, and so it is a card of spark, initiative and change, of activities pursued with joy and innocence and no ulterior motives. Yet here, this card appeared in a position representing a harmful or unhealthy choice. I had to admit that I saw myself as having little in common with the Page of Wands, who calls attention to herself with charisma and enthusiasm and delights in her own outgoing personality at the center of activity. It seemed to me that this card was warning me against attempting to behave as a Page of Wands might simply because I perceived her energy and personality as of a kind more desirable to others, and so more likely to make my work popular. One cannot pretend to innocence or light-heartedness. Though I am often full of joy and gratitude, it is not the joy of a light heart, but too often a heart broken open with grief and longing and frustration. Others may attract happy followers and supporters through their child-like innocence, but maybe that was not truly a choice for me — maybe, instead, I would only appear immature and unskilled, fumbling and stupid instead of lucky and skilled, a person only pretending, a poser. I thought of the blogs that had grown wildly popular over the past few years, almost all of them dedicated to frivolity, comics, snarky jokes and intentionally odd or amateurish-looking artwork. There is a beauty and levity that comes from sharing these kinds of gifts, the refreshing silliness that can sometimes capture a spark of insight within the less serious babble. But I'm not sure if it's the kind of gift I have to offer.
What better choice did I have, though? For this question, I drew the Ten of Pentacles, a card of culmination, completion and marriage, particularly the marriage between the material and the spiritual realm. This marriage — a union of art and aesthetics that expresses itself through material media in patterns of balanced and harmonious form — brings with it an acceptance and relaxation into one's natural place in the world, appreciating all the wealth and beauty of the physical realm and a prosperous, happy life. In this card, hard work and diligence to patterns of tradition have brought about success and prosperity, and that prosperity circulates throughout the world as each passes on the gifts to the next, for this is the nature of wealth and prosperity in the natural world: flow, exchange and participation in the larger, immortal patterns of the universe.
This card appeared in the position representing a choice that would lead me to a fruitful and beneficial path, and it certainly seemed to indicate this. With the number ten evoking not only the marriage of spirit and matter but that union expressed through the Tree of Life, there was a formality within the card as well that seemed to provide a distinct counterpoint to the child-like free-form abandon and unpredictable nature of the Page of Wands. I found myself resisting and rebelling against that idea as potentially limiting and restrictive, but at the same time I also realized that I have often thrived best in circumstances that demand formality and structure, and that my work has often been to bring sincerity and depth to these structures and patterns, to bring life to them by imbuing them with my own passion and love. This was how I approached my work as a waitress: performing the actions of service, generosity and congeniality with as much sincerity as I could, always making sure that when I wished someone a nice day, I did so from a place within me that really meant it.
It was this thought that I reminded me of the pathworking from several nights earlier, during my Flamekeeping shift. In it, I wandered through a forest of tall pines leaking sweet sap onto my fingertips. Once again I met the dark Star-Fire Goddess, who asked me, "What is it that makes the sap sweet?" When I did not know how to reply, she chided me, as though reminding me of a familiar lesson: "It is the connection between earth and sky, the roots seeking deep for water, the limbs reaching, striving towards sunlight. It is the movement between the realms, the connection that flows through living veins, that makes the sap sweet." Later, I found myself stepping into the night sky, following Her to a place of star-making deep in some far-distant galaxy that glimmered warmly and darkly like a forge. The hiss of steam and the noise of the bellows surrounded us, the ringing sting of the hammer against the anvil — and I saw the forms being created there, tiny round discs of silver with curling rays, like miniature suns. They looked quite like the amber-centered sun charm that I had bought from the farmer's market in Northern Ireland, except that their centers were empty. I asked the Goddess of the Star Forge why the charms were incomplete. She laughed at me, as though to say, You still don't get it, and reminded me again of what makes the sap rise, what makes the amber harden and glow, the life-blood upwelling from the source.
All this came rushing back to me as I contemplated the Ten of Pentacles — those amber-less stars of my Flamekeeping meditation, and the instruction to fill these pieces with my own life-blood and energy. Tiny silver suns — star-like, like the pentacle symbol itself. I thought of the limitations and formality of poetry, and how I had loved to work in challenging forms whose very restrictions forced me in new directions, how it felt to navigate those boundaries and push against the edges. I remembered how, during the Northern Ireland retreat, someone asked me why I was so careful and precise in how I ate my meals, and I'd felt a moment of embarrassment about how careful and exact I've always been in even simple actions. In some situations and some media, such exactness can so easily seem like arrogance or prudery. But in others, it can shine. Was this card pointing out to me the familiar lesson about medium and message? Was it calling my attention to my own style and approach to the creative process as one that, given the right medium, might take root and flourish, even if in other media it seemed to bring only struggle and misunderstanding?
As I considered these possibilities, I began to feel more and more excited by the idea that I could break away from blogging without it being a sign of failure or immaturity — that I could be free of that particular medium, not because there was anything inherently wrong with it, but merely because it didn't suit me and the demands of my particular process. The more I thought that perhaps there might be an alternative medium where I could really thrive, the more eager I became to get away and seek that out instead.

Aquino is under once again after the World Bank's International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) ruled on January 23 that PNoy's unilateral cancellation of the 2011 Belgian firm's P18-billion flood-control venture, the Laguna Lake Rehabilitation Project, was illegal and unfair.
The news was never reported on various news media outlets in the country but veteran journalist Rigorberto Tiglao exposed the recent case filed against the former President and wrote an article about it on The Manila Times.
According to Tiglao, the World Bank ordered the Philippine government topay the Belgian dredging firm Baagerwerken Decloedt En Zoon (BDZ) P800 million, or what it had already put into the country – plus interest costs from 2011 to this month – when Aquino scuttled the project in November 2010, a few months after he took office.
The veteran journalist stated that the Duterte administration can't justly ask the Filipino taxpayers to shoulder the nearly P1 billion penalty to the Belgian government. It was solely former Pres. Aquino, not the Cabine nor any other government body, that recommended the cancellation of the project.
If Purisima can't produce documents to prove that Aquino ordered him not to sign the papers, he should be legally liable for gross negligence in office. The cancellation of the Belgian Flood Control Project during the Aquino administration represents he height of PNoy's alleged arrogance and stupidity according to Tiglao.
Former Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo initiated the project but discontinued by the Aquino administration. The project would have required little cash outlay from the Philippine government, since BNP Paribas Bank would have provided the bulk of the financing at nearly concessional rates, while the Brussels government would have donated to the Philippines P7 billion for the project.
The project was mainly intended to dredge the Laguna de Bay and the Napindan Channel so floodwaters in Metropolitan Manila would have flowed out through the existing waterways faster and easier.
If Aquino had not cancelled the project, it would have reduced flooding in Manila by 2012, the scheduled completion of the project, or four years ago. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo made it a priority of her administration after Typhoon Milenyo brought massive flooding in Luzon and Metro Manila.
During the controversial stoppage of the Belgian Flood Control Poject, Laguna Gov. Jorge Ejercito lobbied for the continuation of the project but he was later on harassed by Aquino's supporters, leading to his ouster as Laguna governor for election overspending, the only governor ever removed from office for such violation.
The veteran columnist Tiglao claimed on his article that "The cancellation of this crucial flood-control project will go down in Philippine history as the country's most tragic, most shameful episode in which P1 billion in in taxpayers' money will be paid, hundreds of lives were taken, hundreds of thousands of flooded Filipinos put in misery because of the irresponsible ill-will of a President toward his predecessor."

David Wilson directs Charon video for Keaton Henson
David Wilson has created this beautiful, if bleak video to accompany Keaton Henson's fragile lament, Charon.
David Wilson has created this beautiful, if bleak video to accompany Keaton Henson's fragile lament, Charon.
The film, which was shot in collaboration with Henson as well as John Malcolm Moore, features a bearded puppet suffering a traumatic emotional breakdown. "We wanted to reflect the darkness of the album and give the songs a face without necessarily having a video of me feeling sorry for myself," says Henson, "so it felt right to have a puppet as a representation of me instead."
The puppet was created by Jonny Sabbagh and was puppeteered on the shoot by Moore. "We managed to construct a journey that the puppet would go through in his mind over the course of the track so that every expression from the puppet was a result of his internal thought process rather than a response to the song lyrics; just like how actors work," says Wilson. Preparatory sketches drawn for the shoot are shown below.
Directors: David Wilson, Keaton Henson, John Malcolm Moore
Puppet: Jonny Sabbagh
Production company: Colonel Blimp

- The Effect on Treasury Bonds When the Interest Rate Is Raised
- Are Municipal Bonds Insured by the Federal Government?
U.S. Treasury issues bonds, known as T-Bonds, are considered one of the safest investments available, but they are not without risk. If interests rates rise after you purchase a T-Bond, the price of the bond will fall -- this is known as interest-rate risk. If you have investments that can lose value when interest rates change, you can hedge against potential losses using T-Bond futures.
Treasury Bonds
New T-Bonds are issued quarterly by the U.S. Treasury in denominations that are multiples of $100. They pay interest, called the coupon, semi-annually. The initial price of a T-Bond is determined by a public auction, and is based on a bond's coupon compared to interest rates of competing bonds. If a T-Bond's coupon is equal to current interest rates, its price will be par, which is the redemption, or face, value of the bond at maturity. Bonds with relatively high coupons sell at a premium above par; low-coupon bonds are issued at a discount below par. Once issued, T-Bonds trade in secondary markets such as the New York Stock Exchange. An already-issued T-Bond's price will decline if interest rates rise, because buyers will need to be enticed by lower prices to accept a relatively low coupon. The reverse is true when interest rates fall.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract obligates the buyer to purchase a specified quantity and quality of underlying commodity or financial instrument to be delivered by the seller on a future delivery date for a price set in advance. Highly standardized futures contracts trade on futures exchanges. Traders open accounts with licensed brokers to trade futures, and these accounts allow traders to enter into contracts with only small deposits, called margins. Margin requirements usually range from 2 to 10 percent of a contract's value.
T-Bond Futures
T-Bond futures trade on exchanges such as the CME Group and Chicago Board of Trade. The underlying instrument for a CME T-Bond futures contract is a T-Bond with a $100,000 face value. The buyer of the contract is called the long position and profits when the price of the underlying bond, and hence the value of the contract, increases. The seller, or short position, benefits from falling prices. The margin deposit on a T-Bond contract may change over time, but is usually less than $4,000.
Traders who have positions in long-term financial instruments that are sensitive to interest-rate changes can take offsetting, or hedged, positions using T-Bond futures. Because of the low margin requirements, a futures trader can hedge a $100,000 bond position for only $4,000 or less, which makes hedging very easy and cost-effective. A hedger would sell a futures contract to offset interest-rate risk on bonds in his portfolio. If interest rates rise, the price drop of his bond portfolio would be offset by a gain in the value of his short position in T-Bond futures contracts. A hedge can be removed at any time: the long position can sell the T-Bond futures contract to close the position, and the short position can buy back the contract to retire it.

Great dancers and choreographers offer us celestial visions and perspectives.
G-Force's Georcelle Dapat-Sy, a dance icon and artistic director of the country's top dance act had proven and continues to prove that adamant moves on stage can break barriers and burst effusive fierceness.
For nine successful years, G-Force has been apportioning their followers a different kind of genius with pizzazz that the group can only give. The group had successfully aligned themselves with the biggest names in the industry making their grandstanding mark on the dance department. Having astonishingly graced ABS-CBN's longest noontime variety show ASAP and other groundbreaking multi-platform appearances, G-Force went out of the tube to mount amazing breakthroughs and avenues – reaching diverse audience from numerous touch points.
In 2008, G-Force started calling out for its series of dance workshops for the G-Force Project. G-Force Project is the group's brainchild offering dance classes of different genres and spearheaded by homegrown choreographers. The dance workshop accommodates students from three years old and up. "I would always go back to the group's core, on why we are doing the G-Force Project. Our students look up to us. They don't only want to become G-Force but to build their individualities as aspiring dancers and choreographers as well. We want the G-Force in-house teachers to personally guide them, we want to share the gift of dance," said Teacher Georcelle.
Tagged as the dance workshop with the biggest recital in Philippine history, G-Force Project's recitals take place at the end of the workshop and intermittently staged at well-known grand venues such as the Araneta Coliseum.
G-Force Project, now on its seventh year is back and dressed up with more exciting add-ons to their class line-up. The "#WhiteShirtLove" and "Me and My Little Force" are set to gracefully accentuate this year's grandest dance gathering.
Compared to previous workshops and recitals, G-Force Project 2014 is really special because for the first time - one of the classes will be handled by Teacher Georcelle. Over the years, TG, what others would love to call her - has been giving her choreographers the freehand to manage the dance workshop's classes.
This time Teacher Georcelle is about to excite more dance junkies via sexy dance class #WhiteShirtLove. The fitness-designed class will be open for girls and girls at heart. Teacher Georcelle originally conceptualized White Shirt Love as a class intended for mothers.
"Originally, the title of the class was Foxy Moms. But since it's no longer just for moms anymore, I want women and everyone in this class to feel comfortable with themselves - with their bodies regardless of their shapes and sizes. I want to introduce this class here in the Philippines as a fitness program that would make them feel empowered. #WhiteShirtLove is actually a good workout - a program that could help enhance one's body sculpture. This class would help my students achieve trimmed bellies, toned legs, arms, buttocks and other areas that they want to improve on. A perfect program that would definitely boost their confidence," Teacher Georcelle added.
Kids and their guardians will be featured in Me and My Little Force, the other special add-on this year. The special class will showcase three to five years old kids and their parents, guardians, older relatives or even their yayas (baby-sitters) sharing cute routines that are especially designed by the G-Force teachers for them.
Other all-time favorite G-Force classes like K-Pop, Burlesque, Hip-Hop, Smooth Hip-Hop, 2-Werk, Jazz Funk, Zumba, Lyrical Hip-Hop and Kid's Class will still be offered in the upcoming G-Force Project on March 31 to April 12, 2014 (Batch 1) and May 10 to May 29, 2014 (Batch 2). Recital will be on May 29, 2014 for the second time at the Araneta Coliseum.

Are you fighting a losing battle, and food seems to be the enemy?
Instead of being a source of nourishment or pleasure, food has become a source of shame, guilt, anxiety, or frustration. Other things in your life like your career, relationships and self-care get pushed to the side, while the struggle with food and your body takes center stage.
Maybe you are always on a diet, constantly counting calories, or preoccupied with your weight. Maybe you feel out of control around food, or you use eating as a way to control stress. Perhaps you exercise excessively or use exercise as a way to punish yourself for eating. Or maybe you know you should exercise but can't seem to make it happen.
The bottom line is things are out of balance, and you are tired of struggling.
Hi, I'm Norah McIntire, and I'm glad you're here. Wrestling with food and body image concerns can really suck the joy out of life, but it is possible to make peace with food and your body. I have seen people heal from these struggles, and I would love to support you on your journey.

Go Sea Kayak Nature Tour (2 – 2.5 hours) – Our most popular and talked about tour
For the nature lover who wants a bit more than just a kayak tour. Our experienced accredited guides will navigate you along the brilliant tidal estuary, home to an incredible array of marine and wildlife. Using the tidal flow to assist us on our journey. On kayaks we are able to access small creeks off the main arm of the river, these are important habitats and nurseries for lots of animal species.
We are always paddling for the smooth water to utilize the crystal clear waters of the river. We paddle with the high water so our tour times are changing each day with the fall of the high tide, it is the best time to be on the water. Drifting over huge stingrays feeding in the shallows, an abundance of fish species feeding on the incoming tide, turtles grazing on the sea grass and incredible array of birdlife.
When the high tide falls at dawn and dusk, join us for a SUNRISE or SUNSET tour, it is a fantastic time to be on the river and a great way to start and finish your day. When conditions are good, and that is nearly all the time, we can jump in and have a SNORKEL with the animals.
It is super easy and safe, even if you have never done it before, it is a great way to interact with the wildlife. We often see turtles, loads of fish species, rays, and have been visited by a pod of playful dolphins on more than one occasion. Its our little secret and is the easiest snorkeling you will ever do and you will be amazed at the life under water. Nature has provided us with a majestic and magnificent waterway, Onboard a GoSea Kayak Nature tour, there is no better way to shed the layers, lose yourself and get amongst it all.
No matter where in the world you may find yourself, there is always something to be said for LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. At Go Sea Kayak we are stoked to have local accredited Indigenous guides also running our tours. Learn about the local history, culture, bushtucker as they navigate you through their home, you might even get a song or dance along the way. A local culture dating back at least 6000 years, living sustainably, respectfully in this region and gaining an inherent understanding of the surrounds, you will always walk away a little bit wiser about your environment.
If time permits, and we usually make it permit, we can take a wander out to the breakwall and look for dolphins playing in the surf, chasing mulloway and mullet or just having a bit of a relax. The Bruns breakwall is also one of the best Whale watching platforms in the region, this season already we have seen Humpbacks and Southern Rights just lolling in the shallows, so close at times we can see the expression on their faces, getting prepared for the epic journey back to their feeding grounds, they are magnificent mammals and we love to give them a big wave and let them know we are on their team.
Be our eyes on the water. We love to get our customers involved as much or as little as they wish
With more eyes observing our surrounds and Natures goings on, we are able to create an extensive archive of the river system, contributing to research and management strategies which will preserve this important waterway for generations to come.
What can we see on a Bruns River Nature Tour
Green Sea Turtles grazing on the shallow sea grass beds, they are sometimes inquisitive and easy to spot in the calm waters. Huge sting rays, blue spotted rays, juvenile Eagle rays, huge schools of bream, luderick, whiting,mullet, tailor. Fish species such as Mulloway, Mangrove Jack, Giant flathead, loads of sub tropical reef species and lots more underwater action.
Along the river and in the sky we have seen huge Sea Eagles feeding, Osprey, Brahminy Kites, Crested Hawk, pied and sooty oystercatchers, curlew, whimbrel, the majestic mangrove and azure kingfishers, spoonbill, mangrove heron, beachstone curlew, honeyeaters, migrating swifts, little terns and more, goannas and echidna along the banks, and the hard to spot koala.
During whale season we are graced with one of the best viewing platforms in the Shire and often make the trip out to the breakwall to watch them cruise by, this year they are having a ball close to shore, showing off their calves and resting up before they make their long journey home. Share the experience with family and friends, lovers in a warm embrace drifting downstream without a care in the world and folks from all over the world, sharing their experiences and stories of adventure and travel. It's a great way to meet like minded people of all demographics and experience part of our great Australia.
There is loads to see on the waterway and on kayaks with our experienced guides, we leave no footprint, and give ourselves the best opportunity to interact with the wildlife on their terms. We are merely visitors in this domain and always paddle with respect, and when we do, we are often rewarded with close up and intimate interactions with our wildlife, marinelife and beautiful natural surrounds.
Of course we can also tailor a tour to suit group bookings

How is fasting going for you so far this year, if you are fasting? Have you fallen into a rhythm yet?
If you are not fasting this year how is that affecting you?
Alhamdullilah my fasting is starting to fall into the familiar lightness I remember from years past, though the first 2 days were pretty hard with bad headaches! It is fun this year because my son is old enough to be very enthused, though he gets a little confused about when Eid is coming and keeps expecting it! He wished our neighbor Eid Mubarak and Ramadan Mubarak this afternoon
