You probably know several Russian or Ukrainian brides named Anastasia since it is one of the most popular names given to females of the former Soviet Union. Like the Greek male name Anastasius, it means “resurrection” and was the name of several early saints. One of the most famous was Anastasia of Sirmium, a 4th century Christian saint who was martyred during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Diocletian.

Another popular Anastasia was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Legends about her mysterious survival from her family’s massacre have circulated for years and many Russian women have claimed to be the Grand Duchess. It wasn’t until 2008 that Russian scientists finally confirmed that the 17-year-old Tsarina was indeed executed alongside her family in 1918 by the Bolshevik secret police.

A long list of Russian actresses, athletes, and singers share this name, including Billiards Champion Anastasia Luppova, Dart Champion Anastasia Dobromyslova, and Ukrainian singer Anastasia Kamenskikh. Some ladies prefer the nickname Nastya.

Did you ever wonder why “Titanic” was the biggest grossing film of all time?

As you can guess it probably wasn’t because of the great special effects or the huge and lavish set re-creations..

No.. the real reason was because of the Profound Romance that existed between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s characters.

A Romance that stroked a primal nerve in EVERY Woman that saw it. A powerful emotional point in her heart that wanted to be touched again.. and again.. and again..

So what was the magic ingredient behind this film that put the World’s Women under it’s spell?

Well it’s a concept that is as old as the world itself.

You have probably received or sent roses at least once in your life. Besides the obvious "Someone has thought of me", what do roses say? Roses and their colors have different meanings. So before you send your next bouquet or after you have received one, you need to read this. Is there a secret message behind that delivery?

As most people may know, the traditional bouquet of red roses signifies love. But nowadays, depending on who you ask, red roses can be described as anything from a classic bouquet of flowers to original and boring. One thing is certain however, red roses remain the most popular of them all.

God, I love it ..

But of course I feel sorry for the poor bastards who are facing this very dangerous Ukrainian Secret Weapon ...

I do not know where this picture came from ..

But apparently, this is some sort of military parade day of the demonstration squad cute and sexy Ukrainian girls in "full dress", and in marching formations.

Hmm, I think it's time to take a "vacation" in the Ukraine sometime soon ..

Any of you guys have been there and seen anything like this?

John Perkins is the most interesting person.

He is the author of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", and he basically blew the cover as our secret political and economic foreign policy is used for command and control emerging third world economies.

Although I try to avoid politics in this blog, I think it's important that all of us wake up and educate yourself how our world works. Awareness is the only way we can make a real difference.

The enduring popularity of Russian brides has been a fact in our popular Western culture at least since the end of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Once the Berlin Wall fell in November of 1989, and also as a consequence of the efforts of then-Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, it was like the dam holding back a sea of beautiful Russian women had finally been breached.

Not soon after the events which took place in 1989 and especially after the Soviet Union as we knew it began to dissolve in 1991, the idea of taking a bride who hailed from Russia began to take hold. This country, as we know, constituted the major part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, along with the Ukraine and Georgia and several smaller satellite countries.

Russian women had always been known by the sophisticated among us as being among the most beautiful, generous and kind of all the women of Europe and the far eastern territories of the European continent. In fact, an open secret among men looking for possible matrimony involving a European woman was that it was possible to date - and maybe eventually wed -- Russian women who looked like Gisele Bundchen and cooked like a world class chef!

The beautiful element in this equation has always been the loyalty, kindness and compassion shown by a Russian bride to her new husband. Perhaps it's a product of generations of such matchmaking in their native land, but no other woman comes close to being immediately comfortable in such a relationship, though she may only have known her beau for a relatively short amount of time before marrying.

If you are like most men out there, you probably have no idea what makes those head-strong, powerful and intelligent career women “tick”. I am referring to those women you see in power suits, managing a company or running her own, who seem completely invincible and on top of the world. These women know what they want in life and they do not stop until they get it. They are fast talkers, they can close a deal with a simple wink of the eye, they can make a male subordinate cry with the slightest of disappointed looks and they will never settle for anything less than perfect sexual equality. Furthermore, I think we can all agree that these are the sexiest women out there. Men just love to imagine what they have on underneath those designer suits.

Federal lawsuit charges parts of the Violence against Women Act are unconstitutional.

Attorney Roy Den Hollander filed on February 14th, a suit in the U.S. Southern District Court of N.Y. attacking sections of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and other U.S. statutes for violating the Constitutional rights of American men who marry alien females.

The defendants are the United States of America, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Executive Office of Immigration Review, No. 08 CV 01521. Roy Den Hollander is the sole plaintiff. Hollander has also sued in a New York State court to have Ladies Nights declared discriminatory in New York City nightclubs and bars.

If you want to create more passion in your life or reclaim passion that is currently not there in your life, this article will give you some ideas.

At some point in our lives we've all experienced total passion for life and living. We've all been involved in something that really got us excited and we couldn't wait to have a similar experience all over again soon.

The best physical example we could give you of passion in action is to have you think of any child that you know. Chances are better than excellent that the child that you thought of is full of energy about something that they are passionate about. Our son used to love Poke'mon cards and playing his Playstation. He enthusiastically got up at 6:30 AM on the weekends to play a playstation game, but during the week he had to drag himself out of bed to go to school.

We are no different from our son or the child that you may have thought of.

Ask yourself, do you have more energy when you get up at 6AM to go to work on Monday morning or when you get up early to leave on a vacation?

We've heard football announcers and commentators on TV talk about how certain players can really "get up for the big game." What they're talking about is that player rejuvenating his fire or passion for the sport he loves by "getting up" for the big game against their arch rival.

There is an ease and a flow in your life when you do things that you love and when you are with people who you are passionate about.

We have found the secret to increasing passion in our lives is to follow these very simple ideas.

Do you remember “Jenny” from the movie Forest Gump?

I thought she was one of the most complex but tortured characters I’ve ever seen on screen. And every time I watch this movie I’m reminded of some of women I’ve known who are equally tortured.

Jenny if you remember came from the small backwater town of Greenbow Alabama where she was sexually abused as a child by her impoverished alcoholic share cropper father. Jenny’s only goal in her young life was shown to us on her little knees in a cornfield as she desperately prayed..
