Remember when the Great Northwest was one of the remaining corners of the nation where you could pack your granola bar, put on your hiking shoes and trek away from it all?
Millions of pristine wilderness acreage remains, but there's also a greater chance a move there will cause you to die fat, become road kill and contribute to thinning the population of salmon, gray wolves and caribou.
The third edition of Sightline Institute's "Cascadia Scorecard 2006: Focus on Sprawl and Health" -- a regional gauge of progress -- examined the connections between urban design and leading health risks such as car crashes, obesity, and physical inactivity and, thanks to sprawl and fossil fuelisness, the findings are enough to make you sick -- literally.
It's not first time sprawl and its car-driven lifestyle has been associated with an early demise. Similar findings however typically point to older metropolitan areas that have no where to go but out into the hinterlands, stretching the infrastructure thin and paving over the environment.
But even in the Great Northwest, residents of low-density, residential-only sprawling communities are more likely to die in car collisions, which kill around 2,000 Northwesterners a year; and they are also more likely to be obese, which increases the risk of many chronic, potentially fatal diseases, the report says.
But Northwesterners can look no further than to their neighbor to the north where Canada's British Columbia has the region's best record for curbing sprawl. It has a car crash fatality rate that's one-third lower than the rest of the region and an obesity rate that's nearly one half as great.
The report found:
"The toll from car crashes and obesity-related disease is a tragedy that's largely overlooked because it unfolds slowly," said Clark Williams-Derry, research director for Sightline and lead author of the report.
"But this tragedy is not inevitable. Simple solutions -- such as giving people the tools to drive less by encouraging more compact, walkable communities -- could make Cascadia's communities safer and healthier," he added.

Church Burglary Gone Wrong, Suspect Shot By Armed Churchgoer
DOTHAN, AL — A man is dead after deciding to take his life into his own hands, attempting to rob the occupants of a Baptist church in Alabama.
Dothan First reports that 26-year-old Steffon Tolver looked to score some easy money by robbing people on church grounds.
"He completed one robbery in which he received roughly $50 dollars and proceeded to try to rob someone else and the second person had a handgun and shot the suspect while he was in his office," said police LT. Brian Smith according to Dothan First.
It was 10:30 p.m. on a Sunday. Workers were there prepping for the next week.
"They were getting ready to go on a youth trip and they were working late to get ready for the trip in the morning," Smith said.
Some were confused as to why a church member had a gun on church grounds. However, Smith backs them.
"In a church or not wherever you are you have the chance to defend yourself in your home, you have certain additional rights," he said.
OK, there are two things to remember here.

Davis recalled in extraordinary California election, Schwarzenegger elected
October 7, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Californians banished Gov. Gray Davis just 11 months into his second term and elected action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace him Tuesday – a Hollywood ending to one of the most extraordinary political melodramas in the nation's history.
Voters traded a career Democratic politician who became one of the state's most despised chief executives for a moderate Republican megastar who had never before run for office. Davis became the first California governor pried from office and only the second nationwide to be recalled.
Schwarzenegger prevailed despite a flurry of negative publicity in the campaign's final days, surviving allegations that he had groped women and accusations that as a young man he expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
The 56-year-old Austrian immigrant – husband of television journalist Maria Shriver – finds himself in charge of the nation's most populated state with an economy surpassed only by those of several countries.
The actor's improbable rise to political power played out before a rapt international audience. He announced his candidacy in August on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" after aides said it was certain he wouldn't run.
Other major candidates seeking to replace Davis were the Democratic lieutenant governor, Cruz Bustamante, conservative Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock and Green Party candidate Peter Camejo.

The campaign included a parade of bit players among the 135 candidates, including Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, former child actor Gary Coleman, a publicity-hungry porn actress who wanted to tax breast implants and an artist who dressed in all blue and described his candidacy as the ultimate piece of performance art.
The cast of characters and outsized ballot gave the campaign a carnival-like atmosphere and provided late-night comics with a stream of material.
But to many Californians, it was serious business.
"I'm horrified at the thought that Schwarzenegger can be our governor," said Gretchen Purser, 25, of Berkeley, who voted against recall. "I'm sick of Republicans trying to take over the state."
Ed Troupe, 69, of Thousand Oaks, voted yes for recall and for Schwarzenegger. "As far as I'm concerned," he said, "Gray Davis is one of the dirtiest politicians I've ever encountered."
Though Schwarzenegger held a commanding lead over his rivals going into the final week, his campaign was shaken by allegations published in the Los Angeles Times just days before the election from six women who said he groped them or made unwanted sexual advances. Allegations continued to surface over the weekend, and by election day a total of 16 women had come forward.
Schwarzenegger also was confronted with reports that he had praised Hitler as a young man – accusations he disputed.
Responding to the sexual misconduct charges, Schwarzenegger acknowledged he had "behaved badly sometimes." But he attacked the newspaper and some of his accusers for what he called a last-minute effort to derail his candidacy.
Also Tuesday, voters considered ballot propositions to prohibit state and local governments from collecting racial data and dedicate money to public works projects.

The Detroit Lions on Saturday activated starting left tackle Taylor Decker and backup tackle Corey Robinson off the physically unable to perform list and injured reserve, respectively.
Decker has been practicing the past two weeks after missing the first half of the season following shoulder surgery for an injury suffered during a spring practice.
"When Deck's ready, Deck's going to play," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. "There's a reason why he's here, a reason why we picked him where we picked him. He'll play when he's ready."
That time is apparently now, one day before the Lions face the winless Cleveland Browns.
Decker joked about the move in a tweet Saturday afternoon.
Me being "activated" makes it sound like I'm some top secret government Frankenstein super robot project 😂😂— Taylor Decker (@__taylordecker) November 11, 2017
The Lions have invested a lot in their offensive line over the past two years, drafting Decker in the first round in 2016 and left guard Graham Glasgow in the third round. This offseason, the Lions signed right guard T.J. Lang and right tackle Rick Wagner in free agency. Most of this was in an effort to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford and help a sagging running game.
Stafford has been sacked 26 times this season, and the Lions are averaging 79.9 rushing yards per game -- 29th in the NFL.
With Decker out, the Lions used a combination of Brian Mihalik and Greg Robinson, whom the team waived Friday, at left tackle.
To make roster room, the Lions waived receiver Jace Billingsley.

One might say game day is like fashion week for Louisiana? Maybe? Well it sure is a great excuse to dress up around here…
Since there are so many game days each season, it's fun for me to experiment with my outfits rather than feel like I have to commit to one perfectly thought-out look for one occasion. This season you'll find me in matching sets, sneakers, light-weight earrings, and my beloved belt bag instead of a clear purse. All of these pieces will keep me cool and comfy with minimal effort. Also, I tend to stay away from wearing purple and gold together— sorry LSU, they clash! (Check me and some other local bloggers out in the InRegister for some tailgate outfit inspo!)
Unfortunately this set is no longer available on Zara, but here is one with the same print. The pants are the same; Zara must have just changed up the top for fall. I can't stand the clear bags, so I've opted to this hands-free handmade leather piece from a local artist. You can check them out on Facebook (Sweet Leather) and Instagram (@sweetleathergoods)! My shoes are new this summer, so currently they're up for grabs on Club Monaco!
My bestie gal Madison over at LGIP and I were chatting about how to get more wear out of your game day clothes, and the answer is simple. The key to tailgate-fashion-success is by wearing muted hues of purple and yellow with neutrals. This way, you don't have to buy clothes that you can ONLY wear for game days! Mixing these pieces into your every day wardrobe is much more plausible than buying something that you'll only wear once a year, maybe. We're all in luck this season– mustard is reeeal big for fall! PS: Madison styled your classic cheetah print and denim LSU style over on her blog! Animal print is back, people, so make sure to check her look out to get in on the trend. (If only you people knew how often Madison and I talk about clothes… I forgot to mention we work in retail together so can you imagine?)
You will not catch me in anything that says "LSU" or is vibrant purple with mustard colored lace. Ladies, leave that one to our toddlers. There are so many great shades of purple and yellow, and with the internet, there is no limit to what you can find. Check sites like Storets, Zara, ASOS, Revolve… anywhere you can find affordable stuff is a good option! Don't buy something that will get destroyed by shotgunned beers and flying drinks in the stadium! Below I've linked a few cute options I found on each website.
Happy game day and GEAUX TIGAAHS

Mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets have exploded on the market place. While a large percentage of North Americans own computers at home, the majority of the world still only access the internet from their cellphones. In India for instance, the majority of the population has a cellphone, but relatively few own a personal computer. As a result, the mobile market is growing at an astounding rate.
1 billion smartphones + 3 billion SMS phones
There are more than 1 billion smartphones in the market across the globe. In addition, there are an additional 3 billion phones with SMS (text messaging) capability. Now you may think that SMS is only for sending quick messages to your friends and family; however, in Kenya, the mobile carriers have introduced a payment system called M-Pesa that runs entirely on SMS. In fact, there are already over 14 million subscribers across the country.
Mobile eats desktop in 2014
Since its inception, the majority of users accessed the internet from their desktop computers. Estimates suggest that as early as 2014, mobile internet usage will surpass desktop usage.
Mobile social media stats
At last count, facebook has 800 million users – 30% of which are mobile subscribers. Twitter has 175 million users – 50% of which are mobile subscribers. And YouTube gets more than 200 million mobile views per day.
Mobile lines blurred
As you can see, mobile is here to stay. Furthermore, in the near future you are going to see the line between mobile and desktop disappear. The Motorola Atrix "superphone" has enough processing power, that when docked to a keyboard and screen, doubles as a laptop. The Asus Transformer Prime is an Android tablet that also comes with an attachable keyboard (with built-in extended battery) that converts it into a laptop. Lastly, the inPulse provides caller ID and SMS all on your wrist watch.
I hope this has helped you expand your view of the role mobile technology is going to play in the marketplace.

"To Dust" runs an hour and a half, and that feels right for a buddy movie whose comedy is as stubborn as this one's. But the movie is also trying — daring — to seriously consider grief, and that movie could have gone on for much longer. You can feel the script, by Jason Begue and Shawn Snyder, straining to tickle an audience. So it has a bereft widowed Hasidic cantor named Shmuel (Geza Rohrig) team up with Albert, a dumpy, mildly grizzled community college biology professor — and complete stranger — played by Matthew Broderick.
Shmuel wants to know what's to become of the body of his recently deceased wife. His sorrow mutates into a paralyzing obsession that mystifies, annoys and embarrasses his mother, two young sons and orthodox community. The boys actually think he's possessed, by a dybbuk in the guise of their mother's ghost.
This isn't so much a spiritual or even existential concern for Schmuel as much as a scientific one: What, practically speaking, happens to a corpse? Like, how long does it take to decompose? When his faith and religious leaders have no easy answer, he corners Albert, who reads him one from a forensics textbook.
That should be a wrap, honestly. But the movie has more than an hour to go, meaning we have to tolerate some obnoxious behavior (Albert actually curtails an office-hours session with a needy black student to turn his attention to Shmuel, who as far as I can tell doesn't pay a dime of tuition). It means forced absurdity. Schmuel arrives at Albert's, for instance, with a hog whose suffocation, burial and decay are meant to serve as a soothing science experiment. When that doesn't work, the movie has them hit the road for even more scientific answers.
You can see what this movie is after, something cockeyed but sincere, something in the neighborhood of Paul Mazursky, Elaine May or Alexander Payne. But the writing and filmmaking (Snyder directed) just aren't quick enough. The film's heart just isn't in all of the pig chasing, fence climbing and disinterring. Broderick appears to be here for the comic relief of his mere familiarity, Albert being this diminished echo of his best public-education parts, in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Election."
It's not until the final minutes when the movie relaxes, the cute (and gross) stuff falls away, and the dark beauty of Shmuel's suffering finally gets to breathe. Rohrig was the face (and soul) of "Son of Saul," that formally audacious, morally appalling Auschwitz drama from 2015 (it won the foreign-language Oscar). He never made me laugh here, but he did nearly bring me to tears. Rohrig is so good at searching despair that I don't know why the filmmakers didn't just give the whole movie over to him.

Catelynn Lowell is trolling her former Teen Mom OG co-star, Farrah Abraham, for dropping out of her celebrity boxing match that was supposed to take place in Atlantic City this weekend.
According to a November 9 report by Us Weekly Magazine, Catelynn Lowell took to social media to call out Farrah Abraham about quitting the fight, and claiming that her former co-star was "scared" to fight against Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander.
"Going to Atlantic City was supposed to see Farrah get laid the hell out by Hoopz thennn she dropped out! Still going to support our girl Hoopz tho! #scaredsissy #growapair," Lowell wrote on Instagram on Thursday, November 8.
In the caption of the message photo, Catelynn claimed that Farrah got scared, and then added the screaming face emoji, as well as the cry laughing emoji.
Abraham was supposed to fight against former Flavor of Love star Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander on Saturday night. However, earlier this week, the reality star revealed that she would not be getting into the ring with "Hoopz," due to the boxing promoters not keeping their end of the contract, which included flights and hotel rooms for up to 30 members of Farrah's entourage.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Drita D'Avanzo, who has feuded with Abraham in the past, was supposed to officiate the fight between Farrah and "Hoopz," and recently roasted the former Teen Mom OG star for backing out of the fight.
"This was gonna be a scene and a half, and I wanted to be close up, and I really, truly wanted to witness her get folded in half by 'Hoopz'. If she got knocked out I was celebrating. I was gonna do a dance and everything," Drita stated, obviously throwing her support toward "Hoopz."
Meanwhile, Alexander opened up about Abraham's decision to quit the celebrity boxing match, and revealed that Farrah likes to play the victim.
"Farrah has her own reasons. This is what she does. That's her history. I don't know truly inside, because she would probably never come out and say she was scared. She just happens to come out the victim every single time. I'm a person of my word, so this fight is happening regardless," Alexander said of Abraham quitting the fight, adding that it's "shady" timing on the former Teen Mom OG star's part.
In addition, Farrah Abraham could be sued for breaking her contract with the boxing promoters, which could be costly for the single mother.

I watch "The Bachelorette." I admit it. I do.
I mostly watch to make fun of it, but that hardly excuses my participation. I'm a huge fan of the HuffPost podcast "Here to Make Friends" covering "The Bachelor" franchise, and love the recaps so much, I started watching the shows so I could get even more enjoyment from each podcast episode.
My shame aside, it's been both fascinating and horrifying this past season to watch bachelorette Hannah Brown be manipulated by a narcissist, namely Luke P. This week's episode was the gratifying end to their relationship, when Luke told Hannah if she had slept with any of her other three finalists, he'd leave the show because of sin and things, and she kicked him off. ABC had been teasing it for weeks, ever since it became clear to viewers that Luke was beyond a mere "villain" of the show, a bully or poser or whatever, but was actually the toxic sociopath the other men claimed him to be. It was telling to us, if not to Hannah, that without exception the men he was living with despised him and considered him to be a dangerous and manipulative liar.
Having dated one of those myself, I totally agree.
I was telling a friend recently about the experience of watching this unfold, after having been through a similar relationship. Of course I was only dating one man, not dozens, but while it did help give Hannah some other people to focus on, what she went through in her dealings with Luke was pretty excruciating in its relateability.
That's one of the craziest things about being involved with narcissists, though—how utterly, bizarrely similar their patterns are, even though they're completely different people coming from totally different backgrounds. In all the self-help reading I did after that relationship, blessedly, ended, the patterns were obvious and validating. And though Hannah was on a dating show, protected by security and producers and involved with other guys, she went through all the same feelings, cycles, upsets and frustrations as I did, and so many others have.
Part 1: Love Bombing
It begins with love bombing, which is the perfect term for what they do. They blitz you, besiege you, blast you with explosions of love, devotion, never-felt-this-way-befores. It's utterly overwhelming, making you incredibly uneasy even while you're busy buying it. Luke told Hannah he was falling in love with her within days of meeting her. The first night of the show, while other guys were posturing or trying to get to know her, Luke stared intently into her eyes and said he saw her on "The Bachelor" and knew she was the one woman for him. Flattered and, yes, overwhelmed by this declaration of his feelings, she gave him the coveted first impression rose. The other men, watching this unfold, were quickly aware that something wasn't right. Hannah even knew that something was off. But the love bombing had begun, seduction in its basest form, and it's incredibly hard to resist.
Most of us struggle with feeling worthy of being loved, feelings of inadequacy and fear of rejection. Especially when we're somewhat emotionally vulnerable—like I was as my marriage broke up, like Hannah was as the bachelorette, like many of us are at different times in our life—and even if we're not, it's indescribably compelling to have someone tell us that we're so amazing and special and unique that they've already lost their hearts to us, even though they just met us. They want to see us every day—they're in touch constantly (this was a struggle for Luke, given the limitations of the show, but he did his best)—they don't let us forget that they're seriously into us.
Healthy relationships don't work like that. You might immediately feel a strong connection to someone, and you might act on it without needing a lot of time. But there's typically a mutual, and equitable, movement of attachment and intimacy. Love bombing is an all-out deliberate campaign to attach someone to you, an entirely different thing. It worked on me with my ex, and it worked on Hannah. Until you've been through it and can identify it for what it is, it's a dangerously effective strategy.
Part 2: Manipulation and Gaslighting
Another brilliant application of a term is gaslighting, originally from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play "Gas Light" and made famous by the 1944 film adaptation starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. A supposedly devoted, adoring (read: love bombing) new husband uses subtle lies and tricks, including the flickering gaslights in their home, to convince his wife she's going insane. Ultimately his motive is greed, he hopes to gain something valuable through this process, though he does seem to relish fucking with her head.
I would call Luke a master of this, except he isn't quite smart enough. At one point in the season, he attempted to gaslight an entire roomful of men, who all stared at him in disbelief. He used it more effectively on Hannah, talking around the truth, lying about the other men and twisting words and situations to his advantage. When she began to push back at some of his behavior and language, he stated that he didn't say what he said, a classic gambit, and that she misunderstood him. Gaslighting is about rewriting the story to fit your own narrative, getting creative with the truth, and convincing the people around you that they're the ones in the wrong. That they are, in fact, crazy to think otherwise.
Watching Hannah go through this, especially with the omniscience of a viewer after the fact, was both frustrating and sad. The other men didn't seem to know what to do with the situation, even as they challenged him. One of them said, "I can't believe you outsmarted me," when he realized that Hannah believed Luke's version over the truth. It was shortly after this that ABC started heavily promoting Luke's sendoff, as it became increasingly clear that if there was any chance that Hannah was going to pick this guy, it would look bad for her, and for the show. Exposing her to a personality like this wasn't necessarily ABC's fault, but they did cast him.
Other forms of manipulation are cold rages, which are really effective when it's your partner and you don't understand why they're suddenly furious with you (on the show, Luke tried this on the other men, who weren't impressed); defensiveness and over-explaining; guilt trips; throwing blame; abject apologies; sweeping promises; self-loathing and pity-mongering… the list goes on and on. The key is how quickly narcissists pivot if their technique isn't working. Within minutes, they'll go from love bombing to cold rage to abject apologies, depending on how their target is reacting.
Part 3: Confusion, Anxiety and Misery
I remember with intense clarity what it felt like to sit at my desk at work and get a text from my ex. My stomach would lurch—my body go into stress mode—my anxiety peak. Usually he would ask for something, usually money, and I didn't know how to say no. When I did say no, he would push back—or be enraged, or both. He sucked the air out of everything, made everything about him.
I cried so much during the two-plus years we were together, once it was finally over (and the blinding relief began), I didn't cry. Narcissists make you crazy, and miserable, and stress out your entire life. You lose yourself in the chaos, long for that hit of adoration, for the gooey sensation you got from the love bombing, willing to do just about anything to get it even while you know, deep down, and this is somehow Not Right. Hannah brought up red flags constantly. She spent an entire morning weeping on a dock in confusion about Luke. She talked at length, to Luke and to the producers, about how she knew there was a "good man" in him, how strong their connection is, how unwilling she is to let that go. When she met his family and friends on the hometown date, she was giddy with joy to learn he's popular and liked in his deeply religious community.
Seeing Hannah talk herself into this guy over and over was all too familiar. The problem is, you've fallen for someone who doesn't actually exist, but once you're attached, it's extremely hard to see that and to step away.
Part 4: They Won't Go
My ex broke up with me in a fit of temper the first time, then came back the next day and begged for a second chance. He promised everything, love bombed me all over again, agreed to everything I said. Exhausted and uncertain, I gave in. Within three weeks, he'd broken every single agreement. I finally challenged him on money he owed me, we talked in circles, and he broke up with me again. Two days later he hadn't yet moved out, and decided he didn't want to go, after all. Unfortunately for him, it was my apartment, I was done, and he didn't have a choice.
A few weeks before hometown dates, Hannah actually sent Luke home, but he decided he wouldn't accept her decision. He stalked back into the room where they were having their date and told her all the things she wanted to hear… he was wrong… she was right… he just felt so much for her, he was trying too hard to be perfect for her… he'd be better from now on… She gave in, and he stayed.
This is how Luke made it to the second to last round, the fantasy suite dates, when Hannah had a chance to spend a private (not filmed) night with each man in Greece. She had lovely romantic dates on Crete with the first three men, and saved Luke the special Santorini date. They spent the day wandering around Oia, one of the most picturesque places on the planet, and it was the best day ever, full of delicious love bombing. Hannah went into the evening part of the date with the same giddy excitement she felt meeting his family. Finally she was justified in believing this guy was as amazing as she first thought, in spite of dozens of bright red flags and all the other men questioning her judgment for trusting him.
When, after perfunctory toasts, Luke informed her that the marriage bed should be "pure" and threatened to leave if she failed that particular test, the facade finally cracked. The perfect guy was revealed as a narcissistic toad who uses his religion as a seduction technique as well as a weapon and is prepared to judge her for not measuring up to the same "pure" values. Hannah was having none of that. She is also religious and rightfully resented this being used against her. It was beautifully entertaining to watch her take him down, watch him scramble to unsay his words ("I didn't say that!" "You literally just said that.") and walk back his do or die statements. It didn't work. She told him to get up so she could walk him out (the way the leads kick people off the show), and he refused on the grounds that she owed him a chance to say his piece.
That did it. She was furious that he'd claim she owed him anything and firmly escorted him to the car, where he paused to ask if he could pray over her. She refused. His last bolt shot, he slowly, unwillingly got in, and she flipped him off as it drove away. After all the chances she gave him and times she defended him, she realized, he wasn't worth any of it.
So it's over, right? But no.
On the previews for next week, he's back, crashing the rose ceremony and insisting that he's there to propose to Hannah. He has a ring. He isn't going to take "no, leave me alone" for an answer. Of course ABC and the show are highly complicit in this, they're the ones driving him around and giving him the ring. It's good TV, after all. In the teaser, we see Hannah telling Luke to leave, see him refusing, see the other finalists trying to intervene and Luke facing off with all of them. Great TV. And also all too real. Most of us don't have three other people we're dating to stand up for us. We're on our own if, or when, they come back and insist that we give them another chance.
I'm not sorry I got involved with a narcissist. It left a lot of damaging scars on me, caused me to do a lot of things I regret. It took a long time to heal and restore my life. But it also was a massively transformative experience in terms of understanding what's acceptable and unacceptable, that not everyone deserves a second chance, that my gut is actually an incredibly wise guide if I only listen to it and actually pay attention to red flags. When I started dating again more than a year after the breakup, I did it with my eyes wide open and my instincts on full alert. I cancelled one date on the day of because the guy started love bombing me before he'd even met me and my gut said "DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PERSON." So I didn't.
Whatever happens in Hannah's future relationships, I hope she can get as much out of the surreal, stressful, upsetting experience of dating a toxic narcissist as I did, and find a more authentic connection because of it.
When it's all over, if we're open to the lessons, they give us much more than they realize.
"I can breathe again."
-Me, the day after my ex moved out

Aulus Gellius: Attic Nights, Volume II, Books 6-13 (Loeb Classical Library No. 200)

Страниц: 576
Страниц: 576
Aulus Gellius (ca. AD 123–170) is known almost wholly from his Noctes Atticae, 'Attic Nights', so called because it was begun during the nights of an Attic winter. The work collects in twenty books (of Book VIII only the index is extant) interesting notes covering philosophy, history, biography, all sorts of antiquities, points of law, literary criticism, and lexicographic matters, explanations of old words and questions of grammar. The work is valuable because of its many excerpts from other authors whose works are lost; and because of its evidence for people's manners and occupations. Some at least of the dramatic settings may be genuine occasions.

Kentucky Basketball: How Nerlens Noel Can Replace Anthony DavisMay 30, 2012
One of the most difficult tasks in sports is to replace a legendary player. It has always been a daunting task for the player who has to follow in the footsteps and take the place of a team or sport icon. Steve Young had to follow Joe Montana, Andrew Luck is replacing Peyton Manning and Nerlens Noel will soon have to replace Anthony Davis.
On paper, this is nothing more than the No. 1 recruit of 2012 subbing in for the No. 1 recruit of 2011. In fact, Noel and Davis were both ranked as the nation's best center prospect, each of whom came (is coming) to college with a strong reputation as a premier shot-blocker. Therefore, this task seems to be the least of the Wildcats' worries as they approach the 2012-13 season.
Unfortunately, this could not be more daunting or intimidating for Nerlens Noel. He has to fill in the shoes of a player who won all six major Player of the Year awards, was the Final Four Most Outstanding Player, a First-Team All-American, the SEC Player of the Year, the NCAA Defensive Player of the Year, the record-setter for most blocks in a season for a UK, SEC and NCAA freshman and the future No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft.
In other words, Noel has more hype and pressure to fulfill than any incoming freshman in the country.
However, he has the skill and the support to make this happen. If Noel focuses on defense, unselfishness and interacting with the fans, then he has the potential to join Davis and be remembered as one of the greatest centers in Kentucky basketball history.
Defense and Shot-Blocking
It is ironic that Davis' most "irreplaceable" ability is his shot-blocking, yet that should be the easiest aspect of Davis' game for Noel to replace. Nerlens enters college as the nation's best high school shot-blocking center, and his reputation is well deserved.
Noel has a slender 6'10" frame with a long 7'4" wingspan and an explosive vertical leap. He has excellent timing on his blocks and can alter his swat as the offensive player changes his shot mid-air. Noel appears to have patience on the defensive end, as he rarely bites on pump fakes and recovers quickly from the weak side to alter shots and grab rebounds.
In other words, Nerlens Noel enters college with a similar shot-blocking pedigree to Anthony Davis. Both players appear to be agile, quick and able to cover a lot of ground in the paint. Some college basketball analysts believe that Noel is one of the best shot-blocking centers they have ever seen, as evidenced by this tweet by CBS' Jeff Goodman:
Nerlens Noel to Kentucky. Best shot-blocker I have ever seen at high school level. HUGE get for UK.
With that being said, it would not be reasonable to expect Noel to match Davis' season average of 4.7 blocks per game. That is an insanely high total that can only be matched by the greatest shot-blockers in college history.
However, Nerlens Noel can replace Davis' impact by simply protecting the rim, deflecting a decent number of shots and altering a whole lot more. Noel may in fact challenge Anthony Davis' season total of 186 blocks, but he does not have to reach that total in order to effectively replace him on the defensive end. Just being a great defensive anchor and weak-side helper for this team will be enough to satisfy fans and analysts.
Toughness and Unselfishness
One of Anthony Davis' greatest traits was his lack of ego and unselfishness on the basketball court. He scored his points on offense within the flow of the game, rather than forcing the issue and looking out for his own numbers.
On defense, Davis would block shots but was also in constant motion, always looking to help out a teammate on a double-team or cover up a missed assignment by one of the guards. His success on defense came from always trying to make the right play, instead of always going for the home run play.
This unselfishness resulted in Davis shooting an incredible .623 percent from the field and leading the NCAA in defensive win shares and defensive rating.
This approach to winning and being a great teammate should definitely be followed by Nerlens Noel during his freshman season. He appeared to be a great teammate in high school, as he focused more on defense than scoring points. Various highlights also show that Noel made the extra pass and would hit teammates for easy buckets.
On the offensive end of the court, Noel appears to be fairly raw but features a consistent hook shot using his left hand. He appears to score many of his points on putback dunks, transition baskets and tip-ins. This falls right in line with how Davis scored during the majority of his freshman season.
However, Noel does not appear to feature a consistent jump shot or perimeter game. This was a unique aspect of Davis' offensive arsenal that slowly developed throughout the season. It would not be fair to expect the same offensive approach from Noel, as he would be much more effective on the low block and making plays out of the post.
In fact, Noel would excel on offense simply by focusing on the gritty work and playing within the flow of the offense. Kentucky will have plenty of offensive options next season, so they are not going to rely on Nerlens to be the team's top scorer. If he can simply score efficiently and make effective passes from the paint, then he should fill most of the scoring void left by Davis while also playing efficiently and within the team concept.
Personality and Fan Interaction
Nerlens made an amusing first impression on many UK basketball fans when he announced his college decision on national television. Noel utilized his high-profile fade haircut by cutting the "UK" logo into the back of his head and revealing it on the show.
This hilarious stunt is just one reason why Kentucky fans are already embracing Noel. They have enjoyed the love shown by many players during John Calipari's regime, including fan favorites such as DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall and Josh Harrellson.
These players had a big personality that reached out to Kentucky basketball fans through media interviews, newspaper articles, blog posts and Youtube video channels. Nerlens Noel has the chance to become the next breakout media star that UK fans love to cheer for.
This is where Noel could have an edge over Anthony Davis. He was obviously a beloved player among the fanbase, but that was more because of his play on the court and quiet demeanor. Davis and the 2011-12 squad were perhaps the most shy bunch of players that Calipari has had here. Many of the players were noticeably uncomfortable during interviews, and they hardly ever made notable quotes that could fill newspaper headlines.
If Noel can embrace the media and show off more of his outgoing personality, the fans will flock to him and turn his "high top" fade haircut into the next "Unibrow" or "Jorts" phenomenon. These interactions with the fans could turn Noel into a media star and an all-time fan favorite at Kentucky, more than replacing the love that Davis received during his lone season at Kentucky.
Nerlens Noel has plenty of work ahead of him to fill the void left by Anthony Davis. Fans are expecting him to be a shot-blocking phenom on defense and an effective offensive force around the rim. If he plays within the team concept, gives his all on the court and embraces the fans and media, then Noel can create his own unique legacy in Lexington and succeed Anthony Davis as the next great center for the Kentucky Wildcats.

Enjoy The Silence – Depeche Mode
(Mike Shinoda Remix with lyrics)
"… Release yourself from any form of identification. I'm a Hindu, I'm a male, I'm seventy-two years old, I like this, I don't like that. How to drop Richard? How to drop Ganesan? Every night, in deep sleep, there is no Richard, there is no Ganesan. The same thing can be adopted, now.
Whenever you are rid of concepts, you are happy!
What is the silence? The space of unlearning!
A doubt is a concept. You want a conceptual description of truth. That very doubt is, you are escaping from truth.
Giving up of thoughts is also an other thought. Actually, there's a root thought. "I have to give up thoughts". The idea "thought" is the mother of all thoughts. You cannot give up thoughts.
Ramana Maharshi said: go to the Source of the Thought. Source of the Thought is The Silence!."

We have always heard about employees hustling hard to meet the high set standards of a good employee. The cut-throat competition in the market has directly implied the need for standing out of the crowd to succeed. It is essential to be working around people who like you. Not only that makes the job a cakewalk but also promotes healthy professional relationships.
The effort to win hearts is never one way. That is, not only employees have to make efforts to become good employees, but also the employer has to find ways to the employee's heart. When an office or organization has got a good employer, there is a positive work environment.
Being a good employer has perks like having employee's trust and faith in you. The qualities of a good employer can be developed by following specific tips, which are the guide to becoming a good employer.
Secrets to Becoming a Good Employer
1) Be flexible
Well! That in no way is associated with physical flexibility. A good employer is adjustable according to the situation and adjusts with the needs of employees. It is expected from an excellent employer to understand the problems and issues at employees end and eliminate them by showing flexibility in decision and rules. For instance, if an employee is unable to come to the office on a particular day but is willing to take work at home, you can make him/her work from home. Medical leaves, early departures, and delays in work should also be accepted if the reasons for the employee are genuine.
2) Recognize the accomplishments of employees
It is essential to acknowledge the hard work of employees and also to appreciate them for that. An employee may punt in efforts, and the job gets no recognition. Not only that will bring down the employee's will to work hard but will also demotivating him/her. It is not going to benefit the organization in the long run.
3) Good communication is the key
Always make it a point to communicate well with your employees and not to keep them in the dark about the company's performance. A good employer shares the goals and accomplishments of the organization with the employees.
4) Understand the work-life balance
Employees should never be overworking under a good employer. As a good employer, you must understand their needs for recreation and should never overburden them with work.
5) Welcome new ideas and feedback
It is essential to give a chance to employees to reflect their creative minds. A good employer is open to new ideas and often asks for suggestions from employees. It is a good idea to take feedback from employees from time to time. In this way, you will come across the weak points of the organization and can work on it.
6) Be dedicated to the company's success
The employees follow their employer and often idealize them. The dedication of the employer towards the company often results in the employees becoming more devoted to their work.
7) Promote a positive work environment
Promoting a positive work environment will eventually increase the productivity of the employees. A good employer promotes a positive work environment and strengthens the team. Positive work environment results in employees not wanting to quit and becoming more dedicated.

9/11 ANALYSIS: Hard evidence that all three WTC skyscrapers were destroyed by explosive controlled demolition.
Former Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) & Richard Gage of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Discuss Scientific Findings
Former US Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) and Richard Gage, AIA, Founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Discuss Scientific Findings
National Press Club, Washington DC, 2:00 pm, Thursday, September 9, 2010
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 — On Thursday September 9, 2010, Gravel and Gage will host a central press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, presenting hard evidence that all three WTC skyscrapers on September 11, 2001, in NYC were destroyed by explosive controlled demolition.
Senator Gravel notes, "Critically important evidence has come forward after the original government building reports were completed."
This press conference will be webcast at AE911Truth.org and hosted concurrently in cities throughout the world.* Following the conference, there will be a mock debate during which public statements made by government investigators and other defenders of the official account will be presented and responded to in multimedia format. "They refuse to debate us in person," says Gage, "so we will let their public statements represent them."
Gage will release a media-friendly summary of his organization's findings, which are based on forensic evidence as well as video and eyewitness testimony that were omitted from official reports. He will show evidence that the WTC Twin Towers were not destroyed by jet plane impacts or fires, but by pre-set explosives and incendiaries. The non-profit organization, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will also call for a grand jury investigation of government report lead engineers Shyam Sunder and John Gross of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. "They were in a position to know the evidence we have been presenting," says Gage.
Also speaking will be Florida State Professor Lance deHaven-Smith, who coined the academic term State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD). Prof. deHaven-Smith has appeared on Good Morning America, the Today Show, NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, CBS Nightly News with Dan Rather, and other national TV/radio shows.
