Big Brother 18: Is Natalie Playing James? [POLL]| July 12, 2016 at 10:15 AM EST
Big Brother 18 has offered up several showmances and flirtmances so far this season but one that's seem to be caught in limbo is an interesting pairing between Natalie Negrotti and James Huling. Is it real or is it strategy on Natalie's part?
James is ridiculously girl crazy and just like we saw last season when he followed Meg around like a puppy dog we're getting it again this summer with him and Natalie. After a brief stint with Victor, which Natalie continues to obsess over, we're now seeing her focused on James and making lots of comments on the situation.
Natalie speaks well of James when he's not around as she's told Bronte and Bridgette how grateful she is to have him watching out for them. She's also mentioned how she likes "chubby guys" and she's more interested in caring, sweet personalities then traditional "good looks". So is she being sincere with James or is it a game move to keep her going in the house?
Last night on the Live Feeds, Flashback to 3:14 AM BBT 7/12 (get the Free Trial to watch), Paulie, Zakiyah, and Paul were discussing what was going on here between James and Natalie. Paul wonders if they're going to have a problem when it comes time to get rid of Natalie. He mentions how James becomes fully occupied when Natalie enters the room.
Paulie and Zakiyah discuss how Natalie explained the ways to flirt and how she's now doing those very things with James. Paulie says they're going to have to split that up before it drags James down because they like James and don't want him to get hurt.
Paulie explains that if James is so distracted by Natalie then he won't see someone coming after him until it's too late. So if they want to keep James fighting with them they need to end what she's doing to him.
All three agree that Natalie would use James to further her game in a pinch, but he would never "throw her under the bus" to help his own game. Yeah, I'd at least have to agree with the latter. Whether or not Natalie is sincere in her interest, I do see this as potentially damaging to James's game.
Paul believes the real danger is for them as she could use James's infatuation to control him and convince him to take shots at her targets just by suggesting it to him.
What do you think of all of this? Did Natalie really make the leap from Victor to James? She does spend a lot of time with James and I've yet to hear her disparage him in private, but it does seem suspicious and opportune at times for her to be taking advantage of this situation. I can't quite decide. Can you? Vote in our poll below and share your thoughts on the James & Natalie showmancing.

I've read elsewhere that her real-life friends say she's into guys like James outside of the house.
I think she is actually into James but she strikes me as a girl that needs constant validation. The saying about nothing worse than a woman scorned strikes true with her and Victor. She still talks about why she doesn't like him and it's mainly because he chased her but later decided she wasn't his type. Also she has been flirting with Corey quite a bit lately which is what prompted this conversation between Corey, Paulie, Z, and Paul. She always seems to make things about her regardless of who or what things are about. I think she will drag James down the longer this plays out.
Um you realize Victor was making fun of her and constantly poking at her throughout his time in the house? She wasn't scorned, he was, and he acted like an egomaniacal brat when she didn't return his advances.
You must not watch feeds. Yes he nitpicked her and was annoying, but don't be mistaken. He dumped her. She talks about how embarrassing it was to be dumped on live tv. He ended the relationship and only then did she get really vocal about all his negative qualities. I'm not saying Victor wasn't a bad guy, because he certainly did do a ton of annoying stuff that is not acceptable behavior.
Yes, I read that he told her they had nothing in common after they started talking and getting to know each other and that he told her it'd be best to shut it down before the show really got started.
I keep reading how she talks about him a lot even though he's gone and that she said she could get any man she wanted outside of the house. So yeah, sounds like she's butt hurt and I say that only because she couldn't have possibly known him well enough to be that hurt over him dumping her. Her comment about being embarrassed seems to be a lot of it. But I wish she would move on. If he doesn't want you, fine. You have no trouble getting men, you say, so get another who wants you and be happy. Let him go and be happy!
yea but she is playing james i just feel it i know its a game but you do not have to hurt someone even if it is a game.. i would never do that to a girl,, all this talk saying james is her typed i dont believe that for one second
I agree. Game is game but playing someone you know is catching real feelings is harsh.
I think she really likes James but only as a friend and that is just a combination of things (though I hope I'm proven wrong in the end):
– She told Corey she didn't like him that way
– Her body language is just not there beyond good friends.
– She told Corey she has a flirting system.
– She is a recruit and asks James how many people watch the show…He tells her he had so many hashtags last year (AFP) and probably has a lot this time. Since she's a recruit and has an entertainment background, it's plausible she's looking for popularity. And that makes me think that's why she claims to really like him in her DR sessions (because she knows he's popular).
– She flirted with Corey and keeps bringing up Victor. Corey said he's tired of her playing games. And her bringing up how much she can't stand Victor – not sure I'd want her for a gf right now. Not sure she's ready for a relationship iif her pride is that powerful over a guy she only knew a week. And if she's embarassedto over that, she should consider that before she hurts a guy who has had longer to develop feelings.
Probably not explaining my reasons well but it's just a combination of these things. Like I said, hope I'm wrong. He seems like a genuine, good guy who is empathetic and considerate. I'd hate for him to get hurt especially on tv. I hope I'm wrong.
I don't think James is ruining his game because of Natalie, in fact I don't think he cares about the game much at all. He seems to love having funny, love the ladies, and love the fame outside of the house. It's clear the other guys are viewing this showmance as ruining their own games however, which is why they seem to be nervous about it, since he could easily flip his allegiance to the other side of the house instead of theirs. The big alliance seems very unstable with all the antics of James and Frank, and so it will be interesting to see if they stay together.
I don't think James is ruining his game. He's just having fun and I think he's really just there for the fun of it all. Natalie seems to like James, but I'm wondering if it's the "friend zone." How can you not love James?
I don't think she is necessarily playing him for game purposes, if she is at all. I think her, like Bridgette, is a little too bubble gum and moonbeams and not really cut out for this game. Unlike Bridgette, however, I think whatever actually went on with Victor was just a bit of a negative exposure to her and then how the house played Josea scared her. James is totally the most non threatening guy in the house but he isn't a pushover or a wimp. And just the way she talks about him as protecting her and the other Spygirls, I think she is just in general scared. She happened to discover that James is a nice guy along the way. I almost think its a hero worship thing from her part. I actually have been sort of wondering about James along the way, he likes her well enough and enjoys flirting, but I sort of wonder if he is a little more cautious with his actual feelings. I just had the thought the other day, that James should start talking a lot more about his daughter to her, just to maybe make her start remembering that James is older than she is probably used to and has a kid.
I think this is probably very close and accurate to what is going on.
I think Natalie could be easily underestimated in the social game. Bridgette, not so much.
Yup. Neandertals like Frank see big boobs and "cheerleader" and automatically think "she's an idiot so I can roll right over her."
I have no idea how intelligent she really is, but I know that she's a lot smarter than Frank the Caveman thinks.
Oh, ultimately me too, I think as she starts to feel more comfortable she starts to see the dynamics and, honestly, given her profession she does know how groups tend to work, and she might see how she can get through the game. But, I think by then James will be her 'ride or die' partner.
James is totally being played! Natalie has said previously that part of her strategy in the game is to snuggle up to the guys to further her game.
If you watch her when she is talking to the other Spy Girls she gets giddy when she talks about James. I think she is as sweet in real life as she is on the show. I love seeing her and James together!!
She might really feel she likes James (in the house), but everything changes and goes back to reality outside the house. High probability this dies 6 months after the show is over.
Except for the fact she says she really likes him in her dairy room interviews. She has no reason to lie there. She really likes him.
A lot of players lie to America in the diary room. It has happened a lot over the years. The diary room is not some sort of truth serum.
A lot of players lie in the diary room. Practically everything Derrick said in the DR was a lie.
..If you watch her when she is talking to the other Spy Girls she gets giddy when she talks about James. I think she is as sweet in real life as she is on the show. I love seeing her and James together!!
I hope you are right, but I still think James might allow his affection for her to damage his game and that would be a real shame.
Me, too, Linda. I recall reading that he was going to be cautious with her in the beginning because he was unsure if she was running game on him.
I agree James was cautious in the beginning, but now I think he has let that guard down. Day and Bronte told him that Natalie really liked him and shortly after that he told Natalie about Frank being the one who won RK and was the one who put Bronte up and Bridgette before that. Before that he had never spoke about game with her. Nicole and Corey were trying to decide whether or not to let James know how Natalie was flirting with Corey. Nicole thought it would be better coming from a guy rather than her, but if Natalie truly liked James so much why flirt with Corey? I think she likes James as a very good friend, but not sure just how serious she is. Her and Bronte are only making it seem like they just want to get to jury, but really their agenda is to win the game and are all about girl power. So if they are all about girl power where does that leave James? jmo
When James started revealing info about the 8 pack to Natalie I knew he was in big trouble.
I hope the HG's get her out of the house next so they won't have to hurt James's feelings by telling him what a flirt she's being with the guys in the house.
I totally agree!!!
James needs to be careful.
So James might be Brendon or Clay?
That's exactly what I see happening.
The whole bunch of them seem very high school boy/girl crazy. These things do tend to hurt someone when they fade for one side and not the other.
I don't believe Natalie is playing James, but I believe Zakiyah is playing Paulie.
I don't get the sense that Z is playing Paulie, I think she's just enjoying her time with him.
I don't feel Z is playing Paulie either. I do think she's riding along on his shirttail and hasn't done anything in way of playing the game.
Zak will be interesting to watch when it does become necessary to play the game.
I was afraid that Paulie was playing Zak.
That's a good point, lindia. He does seem like he may have that type of personality.
Paulie is probably used to having girls throw themselves at him and he's at that extremely 'hormonal' age as well – not good boyfriend material although I enjoy watching him on BB.
If she was playing James, she would say so when she was with the Spy Girls and especially in her DRs. Everything she says about James when he's not around definitely indicates she really likes him.
I agree, she really does seem to like him in friend zone. But, I think she is very media savvy and doesn't want to be perceived in a negative light later. This doesn't make her bad, imo, she's playing the game just like a lot of guys do, like say, Paulie?
The fact that she is so hard to read in this situation say something. Maybe she's a better player than we gave her credit for. Personally, I think James is a good guy but he's in for a fall.
The main thing for me is that I don't want to see James hurt.
Natalie is so young she might not realize how cruel she's being if she is indeed leading James on just for the sake of making it to jury or whatever her long range plans in the game may be.
I'm still undecided about Nat but I've always had the impression that she is a nice person in real life; but what is just a flirty, friend thing for Nat could hurt James badly if he falls for her.
She's not a nice person outside the house. Of course depending on how you define nice, your results may vary.
Hmm, can you give me an example of Nat not being a nice person outside the house?
She's as fake as they come. Shes not the person she makes herself out to be. She wouldn't give James the time of day if cameras weren't rolling.
If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black. LMAO!
LOL you sound like you know her in real life of something…bitter much?
No Paulie does. He's met her at least a dozen times before BB since they used to work for the same company. And he knows all of her best friends. Paulie knows the real Natalie and has spoken all about on the live feeds. Paulie called her the fakest the person he's ever met.
Remember the day that Day had her meltdown over Frank?
Before that happened she had lost the HOH comp to Frank Jr.
She realized she was the odd girl out in the FF alliance with 2 showmances and that Zak would probably choose Paulie over her.
So what's a girl to do? She decides to latch on to Tiffany and work with her. Yes, the same Tiff that she had previously hated and didn't hesitate to lie about to Frank.
If I'm Nicole and I saw Day's manipulations I would be wanting her out of the house too. After all, if she could do all this to Tiff she could do the very same exact thing to Nicole.
I wouldn't call Nicole flip flopping, just following her gut reactions. She's not acting impulsively and has decided to observe things for now – which I think is a good move. Wait and see who wins the HOH first.
if james wants to make the same BB mistakes as he did last yr, then all i can say is i hope this relationship works out for him bc that will be his BB win.
I personally have never liked the bimbo type I much prefer a woman that I can have a conversation with. A real conversation with. Not just hours upon hours of small talk and bed jumping.
Yes Natalie is playing James. She has said (very arrogantly) that she can get any guy she wants. That was when we saw natalies true colors. And Paulie actually met Natalie a bunch of times before BB, and he has said that Natalie is as fake as they come. That she is nothing like she portrays herself as. She wouldnt give James the time of day if there went cameras around. Everything natalie has said has been completely disproven by paulie.
LOL look at you cuck boy… you look like the type who would watch his girl take another mans load as long as she wouldnt leave you.
yes, she likes james but she not going to huck up.

December and August every year are the months of reflection and recollection for the Pakistanis: the former about the creation and the later about the disintegration of the country. The person who was at the helm of affairs when the country broke up was President General Yahya Khan. He is condemned and vilified for his role in the sordid affair. Much has been written about the various aspects of the "Dacca Debacle", hardly any serious research has been conducted about the lead character—Yahya Khan.
Was he a coup-maker with well thought-out long term political ambitions? Like most military rulers who promise a greater degree of democratic involvement to the people after the takeover, did he live up to this promise? The promise of restoration of democracy required the holding of general elections and the transfer of power. How did he fare on this count? A bulk of criticism points finger at his personal characteristics. Did these affect his policy and decision making abilities while ececuting domestic and diplomatic affairs of the state? A unique investigation taking into account such and other related aspects of Yahya has been undertaken by Sarmila Bose, who is an academic and senior researcher.
Prior to Yahya's takeover, there was a constitution in force, a legislature in place and a government under field marshal Ayub Khan was functioning. By the imposition of martial law, Yahya wound up the entire system and banned political activity. The core question is: was his seizure of power fired by personal ambition or the maelstrom of circumstances thrust him to take such action? The considered opinion of his colleagues, scholars and historians is that he was an apolitical general who was forced by the prevailing situation to take this action.
Historian Ian Talbot says that Yahya "took over the reins of power at Ayub's invitation." Richard Sisson and Leo Rose, the professors of the University of California opine after a thorough research that "an order from Ayub in his capacity as the field marshal was delivered to Yahya, as the Commander-in-Chief of the senior armed service, requesting that he impose martial law and assume power." The political scientist Stephen P Cohen of the University of Illinois while concurring with the Californian professors states "when ill and out of favour he [Ayub] handed over power to General Yahya Khan" and adds that those military men whose takeover is calculated and have long term political ambitions usually try to re-engineer the entire political system according to their vision but Yahya's assumption of power was "the most atypical military intervention" as it was devoid of all such trappings. A noted Pakistani scholar G W Choudhry, who worked in the governments of both Ayub and Yahya testifies that the move to take over was not initiated by Yahya but was requested by Ayub. Choudhry further states that he was informed by both Ayub and Yahya that the former's farewell speech was written without any external pressure and this corroborates with Ayub's diaries published a few decades after the separation of East Pakistan in which he admits that he voluntarily handed over power to Yahya keeping in view the deteriorating law and order situation in the country. Lieutenant General Sahabzada Yaqub Khan, who knew Yahya from the early days in the army and who first served under him as the Commander of the Eastern Command and later on resigned caps the argument by saying that Yahya "was not a coup-maker as such" and would not have taken over had Ayub's health and law and order situation not seriously deteriorated.
Once in power, like the military rulers before and after him, Yahya too, promised to restore democracy by holding free and fair elections and transfer power to the elected representatives. Unlike the martial law regimes before and after him, neither did he banish the politicians and the political parties nor did he try to create a system by the exclusion of the major political players. In fact, the transition to democracy was comparatively most swift under him. Within five months of the takeover, he replaced the initial council of ministers consisting of military officers with a civilian cabinet. Moreover within a year, he lifted the ban on the political activities. Next, he successfully convinced the politicians in the opposition to end the public unrest. In addition, he developed a broad consensus with the politicians about the modalities of elections and the framing of the new constitution.
Despite allegations of official patronage to certain political groups; the severest critics of Yahya acknowledge that the general elections held under him have the most free and fair; however, the outcome though quite clear was perplexingly divisive. Even now, political analysts are divided as to what should have Yahya done with regard to the transfer of power. One group thinks that as Yahya himself had referred to Sheikh Mujib of Awami League as the "future prime minister", therefore, without getting bogged down into torturous negotiations with Z A Bhutto of PPP and Mujib, he should have convened the session of the National Assembly and let the politicians do the rest. The other group argues that could the Awami League which had literally no representation in one of the two wings of the country and had a secessionist manifesto be considered as the legitimate authority at the federal level. The case of Bhutto was quite curious because the election results had mandated him to lead the opposition whereas he was staking claim for the prime ministership. Yahya desired a power arrangement that could be acceptable to both the wings. He took about three months after the elections to find a negotiated solution to the political deadlock before resorting to the military action in March 1971.
The Bengalis demonize him but he had no personal prejudices against them. Not only did he appoint a Bengali as the Chief Election Commissioner; five of his cabinet members were also Bengalis. By abolishing the principle of 'parity' introduced under the One Unit Scheme and allowing universal suffrage in the elections, the Bengalis were guaranteed a majority in the National Assembly. When Mujib refused to come to West Pakistan for negotiations, without making an issue of prestige, not only did he proceed to East Pakistan but also prevailed upon Bhutto to join the talks in Dacca. Conjecturing aside, there is no hard historical evidence available to explain as to why the talks failed about which most people were hopeful.
The failure of the military action and the subsequent defeat in the war with India overshadow all his earlier achievements. Many people try to explain these failures by referring to Yahya's personal characteristics including the indulgence in drinking without realizing that the personal life of a public figure can only become debatable if it impairs judgement while taking policy decisions. If his personal life had been such a serious issue, he would not have held such important positions in the first place. One officer who served at a leading position in his government stated that Yahya "was never drunk in cabinet meetings" while another one who served in an equally key capacity attested that "Yahya's personal habits did not affect his policy decisions" whereas another one is on the record to have said that Yahya "lived without pretence" and the charge of drunkenness was "an unfair assessment of the man." Actually some of his colleagues and seniors had a high opinion of him. For example, Sam Manekshaw, who was Yahya's superior in 1947 and later on became India's Chief of Staff, found Yahya "an excellent, hard working officer who had a logical mind and could think clearly." General Gracey, the Commander-in-Chief of Pakistan felt that Yahya was "an outstanding all round officer."
Only a person of sound and not impaired judgement can alter the course of international relations by acting as a bridge between the two sworn enemies—the capitalist US and the communist China at the height of the Cold War and that too at a critical time inside his own country. How skillfully, efficiently and successfully Yahya and his government managed this challenge is history, now. While the governments of Poland, France, Cambodia and Romania, to whom the US government had approached from time to time in the past to help establish friendly relations with China failed; Yahya remained successful. The American National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger was afraid to undertake the secret trip to Beijing on his own and requested Yahya to accompany him to whom the latter replied: "I told him that I'd send one of my generals along, if he wanted moral support but I personally could not go. Chou En-lai had given me his word that he would look after him."
Kissinger thought that the opening to China was "the most important communication that has come to an American President since World War II." The US President Nixon was overwhelmed and through a hand written personal letter to Yahya, wrote: "…without your personal assistance this profound breakthrough in relations between the USA and PRC would never have been accomplished….Those who want a more peaceful world in the generations to come will forever be in your debt." That is why the White House refrained from any arm twisting of Yahya when he launched the military operation in the eastern wing. Even when twenty officers of the US Foreign Service, the USAID and the US Information Service based in her Dacca Consulate virtually rebelled against their government's policy with regard to East Pakistan through the famous "Blood Telegram" sent by the Dacca Consul General Archer Blood, the White House refused to confront Yahya because both Nixon and Kissinger felt that Yahya was "a decent and reasonable man" if "not always smart politically" whereas the Indian Premier Indira Gandhi was looked upon as deceitful and anti-American.
Despite a visible 'tilt' towards Yahya, Pakistan could not secure any substantial assistance from the Americans when the Indians attacked except them writing letters to Moscow or making the symbolic gesture of sending the Seventh Fleet to the Bay of Bengal. Though Nixon outrightly rejected the pro-India recommendations of his ambassador in Delhi by asserting that "the Indians are no goddamn good" yet he did not try to bail out Yahya because the US policy about the Pak-India war was primarily strategized in the context of her global Cold War rivalry with the Soviet Union: the idea being not to get directly involved in that conflict. The US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Alexis Johnson summed up this policy by stating, "There is a case to be made for massive inaction," whereas the CIA Director, Richard Helms argued, "We don't want to get involved in a family fight."

TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE Interviews
Margaret Pomeranz talks to Mark S. Wexler about his documentary TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE, about his famous cinematographer father and their relationship.
Tell Them Who You Are Interviews:
MARK WEXLER: My dad is an artist and I think a lot of artists are difficult and complex and have issues. And I don't think he's any different. I wanted the film to start out with a big bang and show the audience that this is not gonna be your typical biography of a famous cinematographer or someone from Hollywood. That it was gonna be a personal film and that my dad is an interesting character, right off the bat.
My dad has very strong opinions about filmmaking and basically everything else in life. And often he's not afraid to express those opinions to, whether it be to his son or the director he's working with. And some people take those opinions well and other people don't want to hear them. As you know, in the film he tells me how to set up shots constantly. That I'm doing something wrong and he gives suggestions and a lot of the suggestions are valid suggestions but, you know.
In the film, I'm filming him, he's often filming me. And I think we felt more comfortable with each other, sort of hiding behind the camera. The camera was sort of a shield for me anyway. So I think, the film was a real way to go about reconciling with him. And that's what I had hoped the film would be.
But I must say, my Dad was very brave to allow me to make this film. I had to expose him in the ways that I did in the film. And I think that really speaks to his personality. That, that he is willing to show warts and all to everyone.
I thought Jane Fonda in the movie, she kind of brought the whole movie together for me. She, her comments about, it's really the child's responsibility to go to the parent and really later in life there's nothing more important than making peace with your parent before it's too late. And I thought that was extremely wise and when we started to do the interview with her, I don't think she had any idea what the film was about.
She knew I was making a film about my Dad, but I think she probably thought it was more of a tribute film. And halfway through the interview she just stopped and started crying and said, "I didn't know we were gonna get into all this." Because I think she had a lot of feelings about her dad, similar to mine. And she also made the movie ON GOLDEN POND, also to kind of reconcile with her dad, as I was making this film about my dad. There were a lot of parallels, I think, in our lives.
After I showed the film, a lot of people next day will come up to me and say, "I haven't talked to my dad in ten years "and because of your film I'm gonna call him today." And as a filmmaker it doesn't really get any better than that.

They Just Got Married Lyrics
Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Born Again
Here's an old, old story
'Bout a man and a woman
Gone off to California
'Cause they just got married
All their friends in Boston
Are so very happy
They're dancing in the doorway
'Cause their friends got married
He gets a job
Working in a car wash up in Santa Cruz
She gets a job
Teaching at a nursery school Oh, she's so nice.
What's gonna happen to 'em soon
They have a little white-haired baby
Looks just like his daddy
And they're all real happy
A couple years go by
She's going to see the doctor
It's just a regular checkup
(oh no) Plus she thinks she might be pregnant
Anyway, she dies
And he moves down to Los Angeles
Meets a foolish young girl with lots of money
Now they're getting married

The latest news on this change — carefully culled from the world wide web by our change agents. They do the surfing, so you don't have to!
Paying for College in a Recession
Many schools have seen their student population dwindle as people have lost their savings that were set aside for college. But with a little planning and research, attending school doesn't have to be a pipe dream.
According to a survey conducted by Sallie Mae and Gallup, 25% of families did not complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) last year. The FAFSA is your first and best resource to see how much you qualify for in federal aid.
Colleges and lenders alike agree that it's best to fill out the FAFSA as early as possible to get an idea of what you qualify for. Sallie Mae even has a web site with free tools and information on grants and scholarships available to students.
I'm finishing up my degree in Forensic Psychology—extremely different from finance, I know—and the Sallie Mae site has been a great starting place for finding funds to pay for school...I assure you, a credit union salary and freelance writing won't pay the tuition alone. So, if you want to go to school in 2009, but are afraid of the costs, start with the FAFSA. You can fill it out anytime after January 1st, but the earlier the better. Also be sure to check with your school's financial aid department for other resources and information.
Paying for college is still possible in an economic downturn. What resources have you found in your search for ways save for school? - Kristy Young

Campaign Donations Dominate SUPCO Forum
By Jim Letizia & Ohio Public Radio • Oct 4, 2012
An accusation of improperly accepting campaign donations was one highlight of Wednesday's forum with four of the six candidates for Ohio Supreme Court.
Sponsored by two groups of conservative attorneys, the forum was billed as a look into the candidates' judicial philosophies. But the charge and a counter-charge stole the show. Statehouse Correspondent Bill Cohen reports.

Your Secrets: How to use them to get what you want
If you're like most people you love secrets. And if you're like most people, you have secrets of your own.
Carefully hidden and closely guarded, your secrets reveal the innermost side of you; that inner and sometimes darker, shadow self. The one that no-one knows.
Maybe least of all yourself.
The best thing about your secrets, you believe, is that they'll never see the light of day.
This is not what you want.
The saving grace about secrets is they are the lock and key to revealing your inner strengths and latent qualities. When dreams of who you could be collide with what you are then your secrets are the key. By bringing them into the light you'll discover what it is that's holding you back. And when you know that you'll be on the road to getting to where you want to go and showing who you really are.
External clues to internal secrets
Want to know what secrets you're keeping from yourself? If you're not getting much insight from within, start tuning into the clues you're getting from your world.
Often what you find difficult to admit to yourself, you find hard to tolerate in other people. Those who boast, those who make mistakes, who stammer, are shy, or overeat. They're reflections of a part of you that you suppress or hide from others, and perhaps yourself, convinced you're not like that.
The truth is we find it intolerant because it reminds us of a part of us we don't like or accept. And therein lies your clue.
One of my clues came to me in a strange way. After many years of this, I eventually became aware that my inability to sit through a suspenseful, exciting scene in any kind of movie occured in other contexts in my life. While I'd become nervous and close my eyes if I was in the theatre, or go into the kitchen if I was at home, in my daily life as soon I started to do something that was exciting and rewarding for me such as a new creative project I would avoid it and do whatever I could to avoid it, like take frequent breaks. It dawned on me that this was the reason I procrastinated - it was nerves. I worked through this by reframing it, and came to understand it was in fact excitement that I was onto something big!
Don't do what you did
So what's the worst thing you've ever done? Or, what do you continue to do now that holds you back? By holding you back, its keeping you in a comfort zone. Perhaps it's a zone of control, of power, or stability, where there is no forward movement or growth. What do you find difficult to do that you say you should do?
Are you someone who takes pride in being open and transparent with your customers yet you cheat on your partner, you stop short of giving away key information that would send your customers to the competition, or help others succeed? Do you talk up your successes and play down the roles of others? Do you keep a habit that you're ashamed of? Are you intolerant of other people's mistakes? Are you a perfectionist and perhaps critical of others mistakes, and therefore your own?
What is it you do that you would rather not do? Identify that and then take steps and do what you would normally not do.
Who doesn't love a good secret, especially those about other people? Whether or not we know these folks their secrets can be intriguing. Through them they give us an indication of their motives, their inner selves, what drives them- and what they secretly hide. And in this way they tell us about ourselves and affirm our own humanness- maybe we're not so bad after all.
Yet the most inspiring stories that warm our hearts and tell about the nobility of the human spirit are those where people overcome adversity, temptation, or manifest courage, sacrifice and immense generosity of spirit. Would I, could I ever do that, you ask yourself, if I were in that situation.
Some things you wouldn't hesitate to do. Called upon to rescue a drowning child most of you would jump into the water in a heartbeat. Other situations you simply know it would take immense power of will on your part to do something. Like loan your new car to a friend, invite a homeless person to your house to share your dinner, give up your weekend to help someone you don't like move home. Or, God forbid, reveal your secret.
The fact is, as human beings, we are inherently noble creatures and have the capacity to act with integrity. We often don't do noble things its true- but not necessarily because we don't want to. Often we find it difficult and sometimes we simply don't know how, no-one's showed us or modelled to us the highest and most principled way that we could act. And beneath it all our underlying strategies, which govern how we think and behave, are about our safety and our self-interests - our secrets.
Secrets are the hidden 'stuff' that reveal your in-congruencies. The personal slant you give to things that allow you to continue doing what you do. The guilty knowledge of promises you make to yourself that you don't keep. Whether something from your past, or a present truth- its hurts to hear it. Which is why often the least painless way is to pay attention to other people's stuff. We can falsely boost ourselves along when we don't want to face our truths and when accused out loud we can justify it be becoming outraged, guilty or upset.
But when reaffirmed of our capacity to act above and beyond the call of duty, or to perform simple good deeds to neighbours and strangers during times of suffering and distress, our confidence in ourselves and each other is restored. And we're reminded of the power we have to be genuinely 'good' and to make the right choices. That we can do better and have within us and before us the ability to make new decisions, create new beginnings and manifest the potential noble qualities that lie inherent within each of us is a supremely reassuring thought.
The key to moving forward is to look inside. Start with you and find within what it is that holds you back- so subtly but surely. Whatever the answer is for you, it's right there.
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Steps to Successfully outing your Secrets
- Look within, remembering to tread kindly and go easy on yourself while you explore. The only rule is to be non-judgemental and utterly detached- just as if you were a scientist watching the results of an interesting experiment.
- Think of the promises you have made to yourself. Choose one of them that you haven't kept but which remains important and see what steps you can start doing now to fulfill them. What is the cost of remaining where you are, doing what you keep doing?
- Consider a quality that you admire and choose someone who emulates it well. Or, think of someone you look up to, or inspires you. What quality is it about them that makes you like them? Identify it and model it, starting with small baby steps. Pretend to be them with that quality and do as they would do, act as you think they would act, and think as they would.
- Decide that you will no longer listen or indulge in gossip. It keeps you externally focused and saps you of positive energy. If you're looking for role models then those who gossip aren't yours.
- Concentrate on the good things about you- your strengths and think of what you do want to achieve and the person you want to be, not what you don't want. There's a big difference between the two - one if positively focused with high energy, the other negative and depleting.
- Forgive yourself of past mistakes. A friend of mine found herself with a severe back injury after neglecting the tell-tale initial signs several months before. After berating herself in the beginning, while lying in bed, she realised as she had been focusing on practising the quality of 'diligence'- on others. Her business focus had previously been centered around fulfilling her client's goals to the best of her ability, while neglecting her own needs.
- Plan your next step - make it small and achievable. Remember 'baby steps' to kick start the process until you get greater momentum.
- Celebrate each positive step as you get greater congruence. Even a simple 'Yay me!' to yourself will help reinforce your forward progress.
Finish every day and be done with it.You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is a brilliant Hub, Lifebydesign - what a great take on the topic - and i love the images, too!
Super duper hub! Definitely a read to come back to.
regards Zsuzsy
Very well written hub, truly a life by design role model! This is a practice I've been doing for years but I never thought of the things that held me back in the "secrets" arena, brilliantly put.
It did make me think about what is currently holding me back, I think in many ways I'm terrified of success. I chase it every day but every time I get close, have the entire blueprint ready to go, baby steps planned out and everything- I end up pulling back my energy just before the moment of truth.
I know what I'm capable of and I know that I can achieve it, but I keep pulling back every time, like now for example... I have the blue print for adsense sites, how to build them, I know I could build one in a heartbeat, my hubs have always received great feedback and hits. An adsense site is nothing more than a long hub (as most of mine are) split up into about a 10 page 500 word site with keyword saturation and a variety of other optimization (on page) techniques. I even have the off page optimization technologies and formats down cold- but I hold this plan, this experience in the palm of my hand and yet don't enact the first step, the striking of the match to light the candle.
To use that metaphor actually, I feel doing this would be as easy as to anyone else lighting a candle.. I hold the match The striking strip is right there, the candle is easy to light, all I have to do is a to b to c to d strike, hold, let the wick ignite and sit back and watch the candle burn... this is where I am in knowing what to do and knowing I can do it, but when I go to strike the match I make excuses to not do so. I put the matchstick down and say "I'll do it after lunch" which turns into "after dinner" which turns into this weekend, then and then and then...
My roommate has seen my skill sets; she is constantly asking me why i don't "strike the match!" I get the feeling I'm afraid of success that I know I can have, something inside me says I can and want it but something holds me back as if by achieving success the journey will end, the candle will be lit and their will be nothing left to do, I'll stagnate somehow, but in reality the journey never ends it just continues, new developments only change the game, not end it..
Sometimes I think maybe I still have things to do at my current level of success and my subconscious mind is not sharing this information with me, things that if I do become successful as I'm capable of doing, won't allow them to happen. It's like if you win the lottery and have all the money and resources you need, you may lose the desire to write hubs, to build adsense sites, because after all the goal, the money, is no longer there, you've achieved it so why waste time writing sites when you can just go spend the money.
The irony is that I truly believe I am about to strike it rich soon, according to my tarot cards a windfall is coming, but what doesn't make sense is that this would be the same paradox in my opinion. Maybe the real reason is that I am trapping myself within this level of success to gain more insight before I strike it rich, be it the lottery or my own build up of wealth, because when the money comes I'm supposed to use it for some greater good I can't yet see.
After reading this hub I see that you can understand my frustration, but this hub helps me to try to understand that deeper part of my psyche, secrets are truly the part of you that holds you back, its like a road block in your subconscious that is unresolved and thus won't let other thoughts pass through that road..
I'll stop babbling now... Long story short, great hub, inspirational and thought provoking.
p.s. you should add a poll to this hub
I read this through twice and will come back tomorrow to read it again. Extremely thought provocative and there is a lot here that I can accept as true for me immediately. "When dreams of who you could be collide with what you are then your secrets are the key". I think I will be mulling on that all night.
Nice to meet you and thanks for the hub
Hi Lifebydesign. I trained as a hypnotherapist, so much of this hub is familiar territory, but you have expressed it beautifully, and I find much of what I know has been re-framed in new terms. It's very true that we all have secrets. It's looking them in the eye that is the difficult part for many people!
I enjoyed the hub, and look forward to reading more.
I really enjoyed reading this wonderful hub! You have given me much to think about. :)
Thanks for your inspirational hub. I think it has helped me to examine what holds me back from getting into selling my art work. I know I have the ability to do it, I just need to stop procrastinating and follow through.
What a marvelous, thought-provoking hub Lifebydesign. :) I especially love what you said about being non-judgmental when you start looking within. Sometimes that alone is a major breakthrough to finding who you really are and acceptance of the self. There are many things to think about here and I am sure I will come back to read more.
Lifebydesign this is truly an empowering hub. Thumbs up! There is much to learn in this article and I'm glad to know we move in the same energy. Looking forward to learning more from you. Godbless:)
Hi Lifebydesign! You certainly honor your nick with this hub! :-)
What a beautiful read, extremely inspiring! I'm particularly taken with the concept of being kind to myself when I look within. I don't do that nearly enough! Not looking within, gosh I probably do that too much! Laugh! I mean, being kind to myself! I tend to be very tough on myself, and I think maybe that holds me back when it comes to "accepting and moving on".
Anyway, thank you, that was wonderful!
Hi Lifebydesign I stumbled upon this hub and was truly interested in what you had to say. inspiring hub.
Great hub. I wasn't sure what it would be about but I was gladly surprised by your relaxed style and poetry.
Wonderful hub - inspiring, thought provoking - I know it's all been said but I'm saying it again :) And it struck a chord - there's so much in us that needs fixing - dispassionately and sometimes kindly! You know you could be up there beside Louise Hayes, don't you? :)
Wow! You can write! And you're deep too. Felt at times as though I was reading about myself. You have quite a bit of insight into things and looking at your collection of hubs a variety of unique subjects. I am lookin forward to reading more of them...with pleasure!
Ok. I'm dying to know. What is your absolute passion you are living right now (from your profile?) Tell me! You can email me if you're more comfortable that way. Anyway, I've had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at your hubs! Can't wait to catch up. (I feel like I've been remiss regarding your writing.) It's so good!
wonderful hub - the secrets that damage most are those which we keep from ourselves as well as the world.
That's great, and you do it well! I keep "chuffing" (causing people to be chuffed.) people in England and Australia. I think that word will become a part of my vocabulary. I like it, and it's unique around here.
nice hub. And alongside contents i like the design.
This is wonderful reading and writing.
You are a PRO!
I read this originally quite a while ago, and I am still wondering...How can I, Chris, use the secrets I know about you, lifebydesign, to my full advantage?
Just curious.
Awesome Hub. =) Glad to meet you!
"Often what you find difficult to admit to yourself, you find hard to tolerate in other people."
Oh SO true!
And love the photos.. "Explore This!" haha..
Great hub Lifebydesign! The world is a mirror, so what we hate most, are aspects of ourselves we see in others.
Very good hub.Thank You !
Lifebydesign. Nice hub. I'll follow with some intention. thanks.
Thank you for this hub. I read it on a day when I particularly needed to look at this idea squarely for what it is.
My wife says don't ever tell me opne, it will not remain a secret long.
great hub, very interesting,

Surrounded by just under 50,000 adoring fans, Taylor Swift put on a performance Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium that was so big, it nearly dwarfed the sizeable venue itself.
It was the singer's Speak Now tour, an extravaganza of light and sound that turned each and every song into a theatrical experience. The lights were blinding, the sound overloaded with instrumentation and the sets so huge that it was hard to believe they could be disassembled in time for the next show.
In other words, it was an event.
But, like all spectacular musical experiences, one wonders if the songs fell victim to the show.
Look: Taylor Swift is a talented singer-songwriter. Plus, she's not bad to look at. But after seeing her in person, I feel kind of like I got run over.
Swift's relatively simple pop-country ditties have been kidnapped and reshaped into mini-Broadway musicals on this tour.
Take for example the title track from her most recent record and for this tour, "Speak Now." An entire wedding is arranged so that Swift can act out the lyrics in which an old boyfriend is preparing to tie the knot and the singer is about to speak now or forever hold her piece. It was an impressive piece of staging -- as was true of the entire show -- but was it all too much?
Sure, these days, shows that take place in arenas have turned into over-the-top spectacles that have to be more than just the music in order to justify the lofty ticket price. But there just has to be a time to pull things back a bit.
I know it will never come to pass, but I would like to hear Swift in a small theater with a tight four-piece band making songs like "Mine" and "The Story of Us" shine in a much simpler context.

Instead, everything is planned, rehearsed and executed with a precision that is almost frightening. Even Swift's initial "Oh my God!" reaction to the adoring crowd appeared scripted. You could almost just see someone backstage speaking into Swift's earpiece: "OK, say 'Oh my God!' in three, two, one..."
Of course, none of this mattered to the huge, mostly female, crowd.
Fans screamed at every syllable. Swift could have burped and received an ovation. She is truly a remarkable, pop culture phenomenon. Hordes of young women emulate every facet of the singer's persona, from make-up to dance movements.
No surprise there: Swift's one of the seminal performers of her generation. She is at the pinnacle of her career and she is only 21 years old.
But I still feel like I got ran over.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: I've never liked shows in stadiums. I feel like an ant lost in the ant hill. This was my first time in the Death Star, and I thought I would be more impressed. It's big and shiny but give me the Kessler or the Granada any day of the week.
By The Way: All three opening acts had good moments, but Needtobreathe's set was especially impressive. These South Carolinians seem arena-ready, and were unfazed by the cavernous surroundings.
Random Note: With the Rangers game taking place at the exact same time as this concert, there were roughly 100,000 people paying too much for food, beer and parking in Arlington on Saturday. At least Swift's fans didn't get rained on; Cowboys Stadium's retractable roof was thankfully closed on this night.

Time for a fresh new start to the year: It's January! Make a resolution to try a new winter sport or maybe even visit a national park—for free! The first of the National Park Service's annual fee-free days is in January.

Fit in February: You can do it! Try a birdwatching walk or a Valentine's day gift that shows all the chickadees in your family how much you value their health and fitness.

Madness? Not this March; you'll have lots to see and do with these healthy suggestions. Welcome the vernal equinox, National Nutrition Month, and a day to celebrate sportsmanship.

In April, dig into a calendar that's packed with events and observances that resonate with kids and families. Check out National Garden Month to National Park Week to Earth Day—plus many more celebrations of health and fitness.

In May we have the chance to celebrate exercise of all kinds (National Physical Fitness and Sports Month!) with a special emphasis on two-wheeled workouts (National Bike Month). And don't forget Tennis Month, Mother's Day, and more.

Happy Father's Day, Running Day, National Trails Day, Olympic Day ... and that's not all. Read on for details of these and more on the June fitness calendar of events.

Find a new favorite outdoor hangout, as both Canada and the U.S. celebrate parks and recreation this month. Plus, July brings both Independence Day and Canada Day barbecues and long weekends, with plenty of opportunities for fun family games and activities.

If summer (or winter, where you live) is dragging on, consider these ways to enjoy August and all it offers for families who want to celebrate sports, fitness, and play.

Want to try yoga, eat dinner with your children, volunteer at a public park or trail? September is your month for these special events and others that encourage healthy living in all sorts of ways.

Before that Halloween candy comes calling, remember that it's also Eat Better, Eat Together month in October, and Walk to School Day and Month too.

Take a breath: The December holidays are almost here. But before that, honor veterans, marathon runners, and (why not?) the sun, as Daylight Savings Time takes hold.

Do any of your family's December traditions involve fitness or active play? If not, time to change things up. Start with these events and suggestions, and you'll be on your way to a healthier new year.

Today, for our Monday Meet, we would like to welcome Kate and Meghan to the Nísolo Team!
[caption id="attachment_612" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Meghan & Kate[/caption]
Kate and Meghan will be part of our team this fall as they help plan events, go on roadtrips, and organize our upcoming high school/college ambassador program. They join us after spending the first five months of the year in Orange County, California interning for Krochet Kids intl. where they traveled to events across the country and drove over 12,000 miles in a car together. As much as they loved the ocean and the beach, they are stoked to be in Nashville with Nísolo this fall.
[caption id="attachment_617" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Roadtrip Adventures. - Utah, South Dakota, Colorado, and Nebraska[/caption]
Kate graduated from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa where she studied Apparel Product Development. She has a passion for design and a slight shoe obsession. "Working with Nísolo allows me to blend my love for fashion with my desire to work for a cause and develop socially conscious consumers." She is a lover of adventures, stories, and creating. Kate's not one to pass up a good roadtrip with the windows down, the music cranked up, and multiple stops for garage sales, ice cream, and antique stores.
[caption id="attachment_618" align="aligncenter" width="225"] XOS Productions Rail Jam - Big Bear, California[/caption]
Meghan received her BA in Communication Studies and Reconciliation Studies from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. "I am thrilled about the commitment Nísolo makes to not only empower Peruvian shoemakers but to invest in the next generation in the shoemakers' communities through education." Meghan is admittedly addicted to adrenaline, coffee, running, and a good read.

We are excited to have these Minnesotans on board with us this fall as we officially make Nashville our home. Thanks, Kate and Meghan, for joining us and becoming the newest Nísoleños!

A car ran into the Chiropractic Life Center on West A St. Tuesday. The driver said she mistakenly stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
Blue is from Ogallala. The car was registered to the Haythorn Land and Cattle Company. The chiropractic center is in the Westfield shopping plaza, at 1925 West A.
The building sustained an estimated $12,000 in damages, according to the accident report.
Policeman Brian Folchert said that Blue mistook the accelerator for the brake pedal. Herbst Towing had to pull the Town and Country out of the side the building, and as the car came free it rolled into the back of the tow truck, damaging the back end of the car too, Flochert said.
