The word love appears in many contexts: there's maternal love, familial love, romantic love, sexual love, a wider love for fellow humans and religious love for God, to name but a few. Some cultures have ten or more words for different forms of love, and poets and songwriters always find myriad aspects of love to celebrate.
The science of love is still in its infancy. Yet scientists are beginning to get early insights into the nature and origin of love. We can now look inside human brains to view changing patterns of activity and biochemical changes that take place during love, explore diverse human experiences of love, study how we select mates and woo lovers, and look for the evolutionary roots of love.

Most Expensive Sneakers
Sneakers—or trainers, as our European friends call them—are possibly the most popular type of shoe in the Western world. Would you pay $50,000 for a pair of sneakers, though? What if they were encrusted with diamonds? Laced Up, a boutique based in Atlanta, Georgia, has just launched a new customization service called Solitaire Kicks. Their first offering, a $50,000 pair of Nike Air Force One “So Cals,” may just be the most expensive sneakers in the world.

Solitaire Kicks offers customers the chance to deck out their sneakers with yellow, blue or white diamonds as well as gold and platinum. Laced Up offers the service in partnership with Prriya & Chintans Couture and Jewelry, with whom customers will consult when customizing their expensive sneakers.
The So Cals themselves bear a Nike logo cast in gold and adorned with 11-carat diamonds. The diamonds’ casings are affixed to the shoes by gold stitching. The most expensive sneakers in the world were presented to rapper Big Boi at the Solitaire Kicks launch party in late November.

Eddie Vedder Marries Girlfriend Jill McCormick
Eddie Vedder, the 45-year-old frontman of Pearl Jam, married his girlfriend, model Jill McCormick, over the weekend in Hawaii.
The ceremony was small and, although there were only about 70 guests, plenty of celebs were on hand, including Sean Penn, singer Jack Johnson, volleyball goddess Gabrielle Reece and her husband, surfer Laird Hamilton. We've heard conflicting reports that Tim Robbins either served as best man or actually performed the ceremony, but our money is on the latter. He looks like he'd make a good officiant, right?
Eddie and Jill, 33, have two children together: six-year-old Olivia and Harper Moon, who turns two this month. Because Eddie normally does a great job of keeping his private life out of the spotlight, there had been many "secret wedding" rumors throughout the course of his 10-year relationship with Jill. However, Eddie didn't even pop the question until last year, when the couple was in Washington D.C. for the Kennedy Center Honors gala. When Will He Propose?
The marriage is Jill's first and Eddie's second. Ed began dating Jill shortly after his first marriage to longtime love, musician Beth Liebling, ended in 2000. Although there were whispers that Eddie cheated on Beth with Jill, it was also rumored that Beth cheated on him, or that their marriage cracked under the strain of Eddie's workaholic nature. As he once said of his first wife, "I end up putting a lot of time into this music thing. I don't sleep at night. I think I'm probably a very difficult person to deal with. Things never seem to settle down and be normal, and I think that Beth has to deal with a lot. I don't want to get into our personal relations. But at times there is a tension...But I just know that without her, I'd be a kite without a string, a nothing man."
Age and fatherhood seem to have mellowed Ed, so we think this marriage may stand the test of time. We all wish Eddie and his new bride well, but one particular Celeb Lover (ahem) reserves the right to remain insanely jealous of any woman lucky enough to snag her ideal man.

How Can You Tell If Your Man Wants to Marry You in the Future? 7 Ways to Know It for Sure
It can be very difficult to see where your future is headed, especially when you are attempting to determine the nature of the long term possibilities of your relationship. There are however a few things you can observe in your man's behavior that will help you understand his plans.
Quality Vs. Quantity in Regards to Your Time
With the development of a serious relationship, the man begins to understand that there is a big difference between spending a lot of time with you, and spending quality time with you. The more thought he puts into your outings, the greater the chance that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you.
Future Planning
Careers are becoming very important to both genders, and a man who is interested in marrying his girl will take a genuine interest and start subtly asking about your future plans with your job, so he can start to figure out how your marriage will work
Making Fiscally Responsible Choices
As a man realizes that he has found his counterpart, he will start to lose a great deal of his immaturity and start planning for the future. He will most likely start saving as much as he can, to ensure that you, as a married couple, will have a strong financial basis.
Is he Comfortable About the Big Question?
Men tend to seize up, and get very irritable if their women try to talk to them about weddings when they are not comfortable thinking that far ahead. However, if he is able to talk to you about marriages with ease, chances are he is able to picture you with him for the long haul.
Pronoun Changes
If things start to change from you and me, to "us", then he is starting to accept and institute the possibility that you will spend the rest of your lives together. As the union of marriage merges you into one person, changing the way he talks about the two of you together is a good indicator into his plans.
Redecorating the "Man Cave"
If your man allows you to change parts of his house to add your personal touch, he is willing and able to accept your major role as his wife in the future.
How are the Introductions?
As a man introduces you, he should be more comfortable talking to his friends and family about you being the girlfriend or serious girlfriend, instead of being just a friend. If he is proud and willing to introduce you to everyone, then he is comfortable including you in his life.
