Oct. 29 West Virginia 41 … at Rutgers 31
CFN Analysis: The Mountaineers like to play with fire. They couldn't rally and come back against Syracuse last week, but they were able to roll for 20 points in the second half against Rutgers to keep Big East title hopes alive. The defense that struggled so much in the first half was terrific in the second, finishing with four takeaways while shutting down and shutting out the Scarlet Knights late. Geno Smith wasn't his normal bombs-away self, but he didn't throw any picks and he came up with the big rushing touchdown late in the clutch. Syracuse didn't expose the Mountaineers, but Rutgers almost did. Louisville is starting to play just well enough to pull off the upset next week, but it won't happen if the WVU offense can put together a full sixty minutes. The pass rush continues to be a problem, but as long as the offense is doing its job, the defense's job is to not screw up. Over the last two weeks, it hasn't exactly been tight.
Rutgers played inspired in the first half with all the parts working and the offense playing as well as it had in weeks. Jawan Jamison was ripping off big runs, and Gary Nova spread the ball around well. And then the turnovers started coming. The four giveaways helped spring West Virginia's offense, which was almost perfectly balanced and opportunistic. The defense had its chances to come up with stops late to pull off the win, but the Mountaineers made the plays. Nova has to be more consistent, completing just 18-of-46 passes in the snow, and he has to be more efficient. This is a young and improving team, but this is a second straight game a more experienced squad would've come up with – losing a tight battle with Louisville two weeks ago. With South Florida and its athletic defense up next, Nova has to be more accurate.
(AP) PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Down by three and faced with a fourth-and-goal from the 1 on a miserable wet, snowy day, first-year West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen didn't hesitate.
The No. 25 Mountaineers were going for the lead and putting the ball and possibly their Big East title hopes in what might be their last year in the conference in the hands of quarterback Geno Smith.
Smith didn't run the play as called, but the junior improvised well enough and made a headfirst dive into the end zone on a scamper around right end as West Virginia rallied for a 41-31 victory over Rutgers on Saturday.
"I just made a decision," Holgorsen said, noting that his defense played so well in the second half in shutting out the Scarlet Knights (5-3, 2-2) that he felt the unit would get the ball back for him even if Smith had been stopped.
Smith, who threw two second-half touchdowns to help West Virginia (6-2, 2-1 Big East) post its 17th straight win over Rutgers, made sure the play worked. It was a play-action design that had worked in other games, but Holgorsen said Smith hesitated making the throw.
"It was just me and the safety and I had to beat him to the goal line," Smith said, who was 20 of 31 for 218 yards, including TDs throws of 19 yards to Stedman Bailey and 20 to Tavon Austin, who had eight catches for 67 yards.
"It's 11 guys out there on the field battling for you and I wanted to be the guy to make that touchdown because my teammates did a great job of taking me out of bad situations for the most part throughout the game."
Austin also scored on an 80-yard run and Shawne Alston scored on runs of 52 and 2 yards for West Virginia, which earlier this week announced its intention to leave the Big East and join the Big 12 next season.
"This is our last year playing in the Big East," linebacker Najee Goode said. "I told the guys we are playing Rutgers for the last time and we have go out, this is what people are going to remember, when they think back who were the last Big East champs was, we want it to be us."
Freshman Gary Nova threw two touchdown passes for the Scarlet Knights and Jawan Jamison scored on runs of 1 and 18 yards for the Scarlet Knights, who were blanked in the second half after putting up a season-high for points in the opening half.
"Credit goes to West Virginia. They found a way to get it done. We didn't," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "We will eventually -- it has been a long road. We will get it. There are good people downstairs in that room -- hurting people, good people. We will go back to work. We will get better."
Nova finished 18 of 46 for 235 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Scarlet Knights lost their second straight.
The game turned on a fake field goal by Rutgers early in the fourth quarter.
Leading 31-28, the Scarlet Knights drove to the West Virginia 11. On fourth-and-7, Schiano decided to fake a 28-yard field goal attempt. Holder Pat Kivlehan had receiver Brandon Coleman open in the end zone for a split second but Darwin Cook hustled back and broke up the pass as it hit Coleman's hands.
"I thought it was (the right play)," Schiano said.
On the ensuing series, Smith led the Mountaineers on an 89-yard touchdown drive, hitting Bailey for 32 yards to get the drive going and Brad Starks for 23 to get a first-and-goal at the 8.
Dustin Garrison gained 3 yards on first down and Alston got 4 on second to put the ball at the 1. Alston was stuffed on a third-down run and then Smith took the snap in the shotgun, looked for a receiver and then took off around right end, diving headfirst for the score and a 34-31 lead. West Virginia missed the extra point.
"He did what a quarterback does," Starks said of Smith. "He led us to victory."
The ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, giving Rutgers the ball at its own 40. However, Nova lost control of the ball on a second down pass attempt and Julian Miller recovered his second fumble of the game at the Rutgers 37.
Three plays later, Smith found Austin along the left sideline and the Mountaineers continued their dominance of Rutgers, a team that the Scarlet Knights won't be sad to see leave the conference.
Before the game paralyzed former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand lead the Scarlet Knights on the field. He was hurt last October in a game against Army and this was his first time back on the sideline for a game.
The contest was played in horrible conditions as a nor'easter caused strong winds and a mixture of rain and blowing snow. Trucks with snow plows cleaned the field every chance they got, but there were times the yard-line numbers were not visible.
Footing was treacherous and the inclement conditions forced many fans to stay at home. As night fell in the second half there seemed to be no more than 5,000 people in the stands, with the biggest contingent being the Rutgers band.
Those who stayed home missed a lot of excitement as the teams turned in big play after big play on both sides of the ball in the first half. It led to six lead changes and Rutgers left the field ahead 31-21.
West Virginia (5-2) at Rutgers (5-2) Oct. 29, 3:30, ABC
Here's The Deal … In the mixed up world of the Big East, West Virginia and Rutgers tumbled from the league driver's seat … within a few minutes of one another on Friday night. The Mountaineers, a considerable favorite to win the conference flag, got embarrassed by Syracuse, 49-23. It was a rather curious and unexpected performance from a team that looked as if it was beginning to peak before arriving in the Carrier Dome. Generously still ranked in the major polls, West Virginia will need to turn things around in a hurry in order to remain there. The Scarlet Knights appeared to be living a lie even before getting to Papa John's Stadium a week ago. Yeah, they'd only lost one game, a two-pointer to North Carolina in Chapel Hill, but the overall body of work left a lot to be desired. Now, Rutgers is staring at a fork in the road, and a familiar nemesis that's haunted it over the years. If the Knights are going to rebound quickly, they'll need to do it against a school that's defeated them 16 straight times. Why West Virginia Might Win: Chalk up last week to an anomaly, an off week not likely to be repeated again in 2011. Heck, the Mountaineers played better versus top-ranked LSU in September than it did against Syracuse last week. With something to prove, the speedy West Virginia defense ought to frustrate Rutgers much the way Louisville did a week ago. The Knights are 112th nationally at running the ball, and led by inconsistent rookie QB Gary Nova. The 'eers will look to unleash DE Bruce Irvin around the edge in an effort to force Nova into mistakes. Plus, CB Keith Tandy is capable of neutralizing Rutgers' best weapon, WR Mohamed Sanu.
Why Rutgers Might Win: Yeah, the Mountaineers have far more offensive firepower than this week's host, but the Scarlet Knights have silencing opposing teams all year. The defense leads the Big East in scoring, allowing only 16 points per game. And the pass defense has been air tight, picking off three times as many passes as touchdowns allowed. Greg Schiano and his staff are getting contributions up and down the roster, from DT Scott Vallone and linebackers Steve Beauharnais and Khaseem Greene in the front seven to David Rowe and Logan Ryan in the secondary. After playing one of its worst games of the season, life doesn't get any easier for the West Virginia offense.
What To Watch Out For: Can the West Virginia offense get back on track in chilly Piscataway after playing miserably indoors last week? The offensive line did a poor job of blocking the Orange, stifling the ability of QB Geno Smith and RB Dustin Garrison. The Mountaineers have too many playmakers to remain in neutral much longer. Just a week earlier, they had their way with Connecticut, cranking out 541 total yards and five touchdowns. West Virginia needs to relocate that pop in order to get back on track, and remain in the hunt for a Big East championship.
What Will Happen: No spoiler alert is necessary when West Virginia meets Rutgers. It's been a weird year already in the Big East, but no trends will be broken when these two meet on Saturday afternoon. While both will be seeking bounce back efforts, the Mountaineers actually have the athletes to deliver it. Having been dressed down all week by the coaching staff, the offense will help restore the order with a smattering of big plays from the arm of Smith and the legs of Garrison. Smith will spread the ball around to his preferred targets, Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin and Ivan McCartney, taking this game to a place where the Scarlet Knights offense will not be able to keep pace.

Gear Question

ok, i know this is probably a lame question,...
ok, i know this is probably a lame question, but i'm interested in starting to climb. with the holliday season pressing in i asked my really good friend what a good starter shoe would be and he came back with these. anyone have verification to this, and if he's wrong what would be a better alternative?
Paul Nanawa
I think your friend is playing a joke on you (or your playing a joke on me and I'm falling for it). The Booster is about as far as you can get from a beginner shoe. I would recommend your first shoe should be something flat lasted like the Thunder, Veloce or Force. Try on as many as you can and pick the one that fits the best.
These are super aggresive, if you're not into more technical stuff, then shy away. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing shoe, but it may be more than what you're looking for.

Chris Saper Takes First Merit Award in the Portrait Society of America's 'Members Only' Competition: Still Life Category
Each year, the Portrait Society of America holds an online "Members Only" competition, where portraitists have the chance to compete not only for the genre or portrait art, but in still life and experimental arenas as well. Virtually every still life painter would agree that it can take much longer to set up a powerfully designed arrangement than it does to paint it - that no amount of skillful drawing, color or brushwork can rescue a poor design.
The arrangement of the pictorial elements and the way they are lit is entirely under the control of the still life painter, at least until the flowers droop or the fruit withers.
Artists working in every genre are challenged with the same compositional issues: conveying a focal point, and moving the viewer's eye to enjoy it.
Portrait artists, though have a special challenge - in most cases,' the portraits concept begins with a center of interest,and the artist arranges color, values, shapes or pictorial elements around it.
Over the past 22 years, Saper has delivered nearly 400 commissioned portraits to clients nationwide. She has authored several books, most recently "Classic Portrait Painting in Oils: Keys to Mastering Diverse Skin Tones", filmed 4 DVDs, and is an active speaker, instructor and demonstrator.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
All good things must come to an end – even for Australia's booming liquefied natural gas sector.
Evidence is mounting that the pipeline of new project approvals is tightening fast, and a growing chorus of analysts is warning cost pressures and competing supplies into Asia from North America and East Africa could even render cheaper expansions of existing projects uneconomic.
Adding to the headache for producers, Asian utilities are now clamoring for the end of a decades-long pricing regime for natural gas in the region in the hope it will bring cheaper supplies.
"Kogas wants to maneuver away from oil-indexed pricing" for LNG deals, Kwon Young-sik, head of the company's LNG procurement department, told Deal Journal Australia. Kogas, otherwise known as Korea Gas Corp., is the world's biggest buyer of LNG by volume.
By David Winning and Min-Jeong Lee
In the race for Papua New Guinea's gas riches, there's been a notable absentee up to now: Korea Gas, the world's top importer of liquefied natural gas by volume.
Not any longer.
Korea Gas, known as Kogas, is stitching together a consortium involving Mitsui and Japan Petroleum Exploration that aims to join InterOil's proposed gas-export project in Papua New Guinea as a strategic partner, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.

Critiques Needed
So I posted some of my graphic art on here about six months ago and Im back with some more.
Ive been study drawing more this year and bridgemen more than graphic design. But I might want to add text into some of my horror art and Im also good at writing poems so I might want to do some graphic design combined with my drawings when Im more professional.
So what Im looking for is some information on how to learn what text goes good with what. How to learn typography maybe even possibly to the point where some day I can create my own fonts, and overall have better understanding of what makes up a good design.
Ive been studying some horror graphic novels, and looking at movie covers to see how they use typography in unique ways.
Maybe there are some books that can be recommended to me?
Below are just some of my new pen tool illustrations and photo manipulations all done on Photoshop:

To be perfectly honest, your designs are flawed on a very basic level, and having read your post, You can improve a bit from seeking help on your designs in online communties but i suggest, if you are looking to incorporate type and typography into other artforms on a professional level, you will need to take classes in at least the basic theory behind design and learn to apply it.

Hey thanks for your help, I was expecting that my designs wouldn't be that good compared to the stuff on this site. I guess its going to be a long road.
August 11th, 2011 #4
I believe what millz meant to say was:
"Your designs reveal that you might not have a solid foundation or understanding in the fundamentals of design. Most of your pieces exhibit poor composition, mostly a lack of a solid focal point and issues with balance. However your use of color/contrast, while it could use some work, is pretty consistent. You also clearly display an understanding of what you need work on which is a great step in the right direction. It shows that you can see what is wrong even if you currently do not understand why.
I would certainly recommend finding a book on the elements and principles of design. Understanding the fundamentals will help you understand the "why" when something looks wrong and they will help you correct it. It will help you understand when to use which font for best effect. Learning typography is a fantastic way to become more familiar with design. It is a beautiful subject that can get very, very in-depth. It teaches you spacial relationships, it teaches you about shapes, negative and positive space, balance, symmetry and asymmetry, harmony and is a valuable skill to have in your design toolbox.
I cannot think of any books off of the top of my head that I can recommend but there are plenty out there. I would suggest searching online for books on the Principles of Design. Keep at it and if you would like more specific examples of where your pieces could be improved feel free to post back and ask about a specific work, we will be glad to offer some constructive criticisms"
But I think it was just his keyboard is just acting up

Nai Harvest/Playlounge - 'Flower' EP
Former tour buddies go head to head on split EPMore on Various Artists
7 / 10 Hailing from Sheffield and London respectively, and with one album each to their name, Nai Harvest and Playlounge are energetic, fast-rising indie/punk duos. They've toured the UK together, and are now collaborating on 'Flower', a four-song EP pressed on flower-shaped coloured vinyl. Nai Harvest's 'Buttercups' weds dreamy shoegaze guitar to burly, Smashing Pumpkins-y rumbling bass, inspired by an early '90s they're far too young to remember, before Playlounge's 'Hand Clap Cinema' bundles together No Age guitar noise and drawn-out post-rock. Both bands also cover each other: NH clatter brusquely through Playlounge's 'Sweet Tooth' and PL give their chums' 2013 track 'Floor' an extra coat of Dinosaur Jr paint.

Remember way back in 2006 when the Kansas City Royals draft Luke Hochevar #1 overall? Remember the hype from the Kansas City sports community?
Hochevar was first drafted in 39th round of the 2002 draft, 1,191st overall, by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Luke decided to go to college, attending University of Tennessee. Hochevar was later drafted in 2005, again by the Dodgers. This time in the 1st round, 40th overall. Due to somewhat unknown circumstances and a somewhat pre-Madonna attitude from Hochevar, where he fired Scott Boras as his agent, signed a new agent, agreed to terms with the Dodgers, fired his new agent, re-hired Boras, then reneged on his agreement with the Dodgers, Hochevar found himself playing independent league baseball in 2005.
Hochevar re-entered the draft in 2006, being selected #1 overall, shortly after the Royals hired new General Manager, Dayton Moore.
To me, this entire 2006 draft was VERY fishy for the Royals. With new GM at the helm, Moore said publicly he was going to refrain from participating in the 2006 draft due to his familiarity with the Atlanta Braves draft strategy. Moore reportedly did not participate in any aspect of this draft.
I have never believed this scenario. One of two things took place, in my mind: 1 – And most likely, Moore wanted Hochevar, but was worried about him so said he was not participating. 2 – The scouting department wanted Hochevar, but Moore, knowingly, went along with it.
I had my doubts early about Hochevar and have never thought he would turn into the staff Ace that is expected from a #1 overall draft pick.
Hochevar has never had a winning season in the Majors, his best 11-11 and he has a 5.33 career ERA. Admittedly, at times Hochevar has shown flashes of Ace potential, but at this point flashes are the only thing fans should hope for.
As Royals fans watch Hochevar's 2006 1st round draftmates win Cy Young Awards (Tim Lincecum – 2008 & 2009, Clayton Kershaw – 2011), smash home runs (Evan Longoria, 114 in 517 games), make All-Star game appearances (Tim Lincecum – 4, Clayton Kershaw – 1, Evan Longoria – 3, Chris Perez – 2011) and win Gold Glove awards (Clayton Kershaw – 2011, Evan Longoria – 2009, 2010), it is time we wonder… No, accept it is time we begin to accept that, at best Luke Hochevar is a #5 starting pitcher in this league and stop trying to force him into the Ace category.
Hochevar is on a 1-year contract with the Royals in 2012, making $3.1 million. Think about that for a second: Never a single winning season and a 5.33 career ERA gets paid $3.1 million. To me, it sounds as if the Royals and Dayton Moore are trying to prove to themselves they will not/did not "miss" on Hochevar. Why else would a General Manager who "had nothing to do with" drafting a player invest so much to keep him around when he has performed at such a low level?
I sincerely hope Luke Hochevar is not with the Royals in 2013. If so, do not expect the Royals to be honestly competing for a playoff spot.

About Imre
I have started using computers when I was 9 years old. Now I'm 37 and it feels like I only got up from behind the computer's screen to go to the bathroom or make a coffee. At first I immensely enjoyed using the computer (mainly games, then graphical and coding environments.) Then I went crazy about connecting our computers together via the Internet. And now I am all head over heels because we - at last - connect our own selves together, using social networks. I think this is the most exciting area of all and the most exciting time of all. I'm happy to be able to watch all this. My work is connected to this. I used to do things on the computer, then on the web, now in social networks. I had built a 100-person company around it once, now I am a freelance consultant. I love to listen to people's challenges and give them my perspective, which is usually closely connected to my field of expertise. I love to help those people, companies, causes and organizations that I believe are in need of support. That's what I use my skills for and that's what I do for a living, too :)
Areas of Expertise
communication, online social networks
An idea worth spreading
I think the basic problem with the personal understanding of how much damage we do to our environment comes from the simple fact that the Earth is so huge and we are so tiny in comparison. No matter what we do, it can always be thought that in the end it means nothing compared to the sheer size of the planet. I would help the process of understanding by creating one single human being by putting together the 7 billion humans. It would be a giant, a monster. It would be about 10 kilometers tall, it would weigh 350 million tons. It could swim comfortably only over the Marianna-trench and it could rest its chin on Mount Everest. Imagine the size of the coke can it would throw away twice every day. Imagine the exhaust fumes coming from its car. Imagine the amount of toxic waste from its giant washing machine. Those are easy to imagine. That's what the tiny personal level adds up to. I think this image that exists in your mind from now on is an idea worth spreading.

My TED story
I have been receiving and forwarding TED videos many years ago - that's how it began for me and TED. The first video I saw was about multi-touch user interfaces, an innovation that later Microsoft bought and Apple perfected. Then three years ago one of my best friends got the idea that Hungary really needs a TEDx event - and I joined him in this quest, so for the last years I have been an active member of the organizer group of the TEDxDanubia events (http://www.tedxdanubia.com/). The 6 or so events that took place are the most important things I did in the last few years, I think. The people I met, the causes I helped support and spread the news about, the hundreds of people who visited these events have all shaped my view of the world. The talks we helped on the TEDx stage have formed Hungarian's view of the world. I am very grateful to have been able to be part of this process - and I hope to continue to do so :)

Look at photo reference, and things from life. Most if not all anime is grounded in good understanding of life drawing (so is most art but still)
September 1st, 2007 #3
thanks for the comment... but I'm still not sure of my style of drawing hair.
I don't know if it works with every hairstructure and color... curly.. brown.. blond... I still have to try out all combinations :p.
Ah.. and as the others said: Don't focus on anime etc. ... try out lifedrawings.. studies.. anatomy.. and all the shit ;D.
You'll make it! Good luck!
September 2nd, 2007 #4
Thanks for the Comment. ^_^
Funny but true, in here you'll probably get a lot of people saying to not draw anime. The more you draw from life the better you anime drawings will look as said before by Smokey186.
KEep it up.
September 2nd, 2007 #5
Cheers for the advice people
i'm working on the realism, and might have some new bits and bobs up for you as soon as my bloody scanner decides to co-operate.

All I can suggest is that when you master drawing from life, and traditional anatomy etc, then your anime style (if you want to keep going that way) will look that much more convincing. And also means you wont be stuck doing the real cliche way of doing eyes/faces etc. You can experiment. Just push past the fundamentals so you can have some fun doing what you want to. Draw draw draw!

Location of Lagado in Balnibarbi (original map, Pt III, Gulliver's Travels)
|Gulliver's Travels location
|Jonathan Swift
|Notable locations
|Academy of Lagado
|Notable characters
|Lord Munodi (former governor)
Lagado is a fictional city from the book of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
Lagado is the capital of the nation Balnibarbi, which is ruled by a tyrannical king from a flying island called Laputa. Lagado is on the ground below Laputa, and also has access to Laputa at any given time to proceed in an attack or defense. It is located in the centre of the kingdom, some 150 miles from that land's Pacific coast.[1]
Lagado is poverty stricken like the rest of the nation. The king had invested a great fortune on building an Academy of Projectors in Lagado so that it shall contribute to the nation's development through research, but so far the Academy has yielded no result. The author has vividly described bizarre and seemingly pointless experiments conducted there, for example - trying to change human excretion back into food or teaching mathematics to pupils by writing propositions on wafers and consuming it with "cephalick tincture".[2] Gulliver is clearly unimpressed with this academy and offers many suggestions to improve it.[3] The author's ulterior motive on describing this place could possibly have been to point out the senseless side of science in his time. The Academy is home to The Engine, a fictitious device resembling a modern computer.
Gulliver's guide on Balnibarbi, Lord Munodi, a former governor of Lagado, is a rare case of a practically-minded man in the kingdom who runs his estate well and productively, but is seen as an oddity by other Laputans and must endure social ostracism.
- Jonathan Swift: Guliver's Travels Oxford World Classics (1986, reprint 2008) introduction by Claude Rawson, explanatory notes by Ian Higgins

In person, Reiner is gregarious and very chatty, regaling you with great anecdotes from his back catalogue.
He was gregarious and sociable, enjoying the company of entourages whenever he went to Cannes or some other film festival.
The novel takes place mostly early in Milia's marriage to a gregarious but overmatched man named Mansour.
1660s, "living in flocks" (of animals), from Latin gregarius "pertaining to a flock; of the herd, of the common sort, common," from grex (genitive gregis) "flock, herd," reduplication of PIE root *ger- "to gather together, assemble" (cf. Greek ageirein "to assemble," agora "assembly;" Old Church Slavonic grusti "handful;" Lithuanian gurgulys "chaos, confusion," gurguole "crowd, mass"). Sense of "sociable" first recorded 1789. Related: Gregariously; gregariousness.

Eyre Peninsula: Added Protection and Eco-Tourism Project
Efforts to safeguard the near-pristine Eyre Peninsula in South Australia (Ecos 149, p. 18) saw two notable developments in recent months.
In a move welcomed by conservation groups, the state government bought 10 parcels of land on the peninsula to help protect rare and endangered wildlife, including the white-bellied sea eagle, osprey and Australian sea lion.
The new coastal conservation areas between Cape Blanche and Slade Point and sand dunes on the northern side of Searcy Bay will add 1400 hectares to the existing parks and reserves between Streaky Bay and Venus Bay.
The state's Environment and Conservation Minister, Jay Weatherill, said protecting key areas 'will encourage sustainable tourism and appropriate coastal management'.
As well as purchasing freehold land, the government announced it will allocate Crown Land to augment the existing parks and reserves system. For example, land surrounding Baird Bay will be joined to the Baird Bay Islands Conservation Park to form a Baird Bay Conservation Park.
The Department for Environment and Heritage will also open an office in Streaky Bay and appoint a District Ranger to oversee the conservation areas. …

Thoughts, beliefs, feelings, are all like a raft; they are for crossing over and not for carrying. It takes you to where you want to be, but once you're there, it becomes an extraneous burden. This detachment to the world itself and ability move on beyond the world are keys to enlightenment. However, it seems that by doing so, we lose what is human in a sense. That we can not be moved or saddened by the passing of someone we love, that we can simply allow someone close to us to drift apart without any feeling of lost, that we can move on in our lives without any attachment to anyone in particular. For if one truly realizes that nothing lasts and is one with the world, he is in perfect harmony with everything he comes across. What need does he have for someone else in his life? Can he even love and be passionate about one person above others? Or is everyone simply all one to him, with him? This happened to me while I was training. While I was focused and committed to the dream that I was living, I was able to move on with my life without any feeling of loss for my close friends that were departing to college. I could share my life with anyone who came across it, and it felt just as great. However, after I got injured, once in a while, I began to miss them and miss that feeling of trust, love, and intimacy in a deep, close relationship. While I trained, I only needed myself in a sense to feel completed. That the greatest experiences could be mine alone, and it was just perfect that way. But these days, I find myself often feeling and wishing that there was someone I could share everything with (like most normal people), and even the great experiences these days always seem to have something missing, and I often think about how I wish that someone from the past would be right now to share the moment together. And I'm just thinking, well, if enlightenment means being able to transcend all this world attachment, then doesn't it also mean that you would have no need or desire for someone else to share your life with you? To even want to be in love with another person? To even feel a sense of lost and misery when a relationship ends? What do you guys make of that?

"And I'm just thinking, well, if enlightenment means being able to transcend all this world attachment,"
bear that in mind. the reason u will feel lonely is because of internal circumstances, not external circumstances. ur goals might be shifting and now u realise u need people.
"that we can move on in our lives without any attachment to anyone in particular".
remember , its not jus not being 'attached' to people , it includes things and ideas , includin ur feelings of loneliness .
is enlightenment good ? definitely , it means being happy with what u have when u have it . no goals , no desires , no duality.
are u enlightened ? u can answer that.

You are already "enlightened" what ever that might mean. The only thing that keeps you from seeing this is the thought" i am not enlightened" that you attach to.

Record BBL crowd at The O2 attracts global interest
The BBL Play-Off Final has attracted
global interest after a record breaking crowd of almost
15,000 congregated at the The O2 for what was a historic and
unforgettable day for British Basketball.
Some 14,700 supporters were in attendance to firstly enjoy HoopsAid 2015, prior to watching Esh Group Eagles Newcastle complete a clean sweep of silverware by easing past London Lions in the Final.
The event was featured on the front page of the FIBA Europe website on Monday morning and queries have since been received from media and organisations in various different countries wanting to find out even more about what was a landmark day.
Fans around the globe enjoyed watching the Final via the BBC Sport website, with the BBC also compiling their top five plays of the game and making the match-up available to watch for 30 days via the BBC i-player.
The interest generated caused #BBLplayoffFinal to trend significantly on twitter and all social media platforms were buzzing with interest - both on the day itself and even now in the aftermath of a day which will live long in the memory of those who attended.
Indeed many of the celebrities, sport stars and performers who took part in the HoopsAid 2015 charity event and watched the Final expressed their approval and enthusiasm for a great day via social media.
Reflecting on a successful day, BBL and WBBL Chairman, Ed Percival said, "We already had a great track record of putting on excellent events and especially for showpiece Finals and what happened at The O2 raised the bar yet again.
"It certainly looked and most importantly, felt like a celebration of basketball and that is exactly what it was.
"Especially because we not only had the Final, but the HoopsAid games and also the Hoops For Health and Foundation activities too.
"The record BBL crowd of almost 15,000 was a clear message of the importance our sport holds for so many people.
"It was particularly great to see so many of our partners in attendance and being very supportive."
He added, "Everyone associated with the event should be very proud and we are determined to continue building on this valuable platform to help improve every aspect of what we do as a league and as an organisation."
The Final was covered by many media outlets nationally, including a range of newspapers and websites.
A highlights/promo clip of a stunning day for British Basketball is also now available on the BBL's youtube channel.

He might not ever get a plaque in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but Barry Bonds does have a plaque outside AT&T Park commemorating his record 756 home runs. Or, well...did. According to the San Francisco Giants, the plaque, which used to hang on the brick facade inside the ballpark beneath the flag court area in right-ceter went missing this past week. But don't fret, folks...they're on it. "We're in the process of replacing it,'' team spokeswoman Staci Slaughter said. "We're not sure what happened. We're reviewing video, but haven't found anything yet." Whew.
Who cares, he's a phony cheater. He had never hit more than 60 in a season when he jacked 73...in fact he never topped 50 and only topped 40 four times in a season before that year. The Roids allowed him to hit more, it was never an issue about him being able to hit. He was just not as huge a homerun hitter before he juiced. I refuse to acknowledge him as the homerun leader, Aaron holds the record. And if you want to break it down even more...Ruth was the greatest. He hit just 41 fewer homers tha Aaron and Aaron played almost 7 more seasons than Ruth. (Aaron 23 seasons 755 HR...Ruth 22 seasons, but the first 7 were mainly played as a pitcher not an everyday hitter 714 HR...) Screw Bonds and Palmiero, McGwire and Sosa too for that matter.
