Farmers gain new online resources
New legislation has expanded farmer's access to information via the Internet that many say will prove to be a valuable source for farmers and ranchers when researching crop insurance options. Calculating software, literature comparing various risk management strategies, calculation guides for the insurance programs and daily updates are available online. One such site is the U.S. Risk Management Agency homepage.
Farm losses threaten to hit $1 billion
A cold front rushing across Texas is little comfort to the state's farmers and ranchers who now have lost an estimated $827 million this year to the lingering drought.
Push for farm disaster aid makes way toward House floor
Congressional conferees were busy Wednesday cobbling together a disaster relief package that may mean as much as $1.6 billion for the nation's farmers. Neither the dollar amount nor the timetable is set in concrete, although U.S. Rep. Bill Young indicated he wants to take the measure to the House floor this week. The Florida Republican chairs the House Appropriations Committee.
Internet tools help track Lubbock's drought
Drought is unlike other disasters. It isn't sudden like a tornado or overwhelming as a flood, but it can be just as devastating to the economy. A light rain, such as the one that dampened Lubbock Friday, doesn't stop a drought.
Insurance options expand for area farmers and ranchers
Lower commodity prices, changing government policies and natural disasters are forcing today's farmers to be more business savvy. These factors have made risk management tools, such as crop insurance, an increasingly important priority for farmers. Dan Glickman, secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture told the House Committee on Agriculture, told Congress last month that new legislation would lower 2001 farmer-paid premiums, increase yield coverage, and amend administrative fees.
Congressional negotiators put finishing touches on farm aid

Movie releases
The following is a partial schedule of upcoming movies on video.
Depth & Reality
Audiences will cheer at the conclusion of "Remember the Titans" with the same gusto that met the finale of "Rocky" in 1977. This is, after all, a Disney film and thus pretty much follows the who-will-win-the-big-game? formula manipulated by the Bad News Bears, Mighty Ducks and stars of practically every other sports movie. This, too, is a movie more about racial prejudice than football, and yet that ugly n-word never is heard even as red-faced rednecks appear to be popping blood vessels in street protests. It includes none of the pointed accusations and layered guilt of, say, a superior Spike Lee effort.

New CD features and older and wiser sounding Strait
"George Strait," by George Strait. MCA Country music sales rise and fall. Label execs come and go. The careers of worthy singers like Wade Hayes seem to stall, while those of mush peddlers like Mark Wills inexplicably soar.

Midseason way too early to give up on run
Midseason arrives for Texas Tech on Saturday night, and the Red Raiders had a favorable sign last week: With the exception of some self-destructive special teams play, they probably played their best all-around game of the season in a 33-15 loss at Texas A&M.
The Big Book Sale
ONE OF THE BEST events of the year for book lovers is the annual Friends of the Library book sale. And while customers are finding book bargains there, the libraries of Lubbock are benefiting. All of the money from FOL book sales is donated by the library support group to help improve libraries. That represents expenditures that did not come from the library budget -- which means that no tax dollars had to be spent.
Does Tech Need Plane?
A LOOK AT PERTINENT facts provides us with a clear answer to the question of whether Texas Tech should have its own airplane for use by Chancellor John Montford and other Tech officials.

A Downtown Vacancy
SUCCESS OFTEN BRINGS about a necessity for change, and a 33 percent increase in South Plains College's Lubbock enrollment meant that the college simply outgrew its campus here at 1302 Main St.
FOI Rulings Increase
GOVERNMENT BODIES should not use the Texas Attorney General's Office to delay access to public information and public meetings. Yet we are pleased that it appears the public is becoming more aware of access to government.
Celebrate Texas Tech
ALUMNI AND FRIENDS of Texas Tech who return to the campus for the annual homecoming festivities this weekend have much to celebrate, and we are not just talking about the Red Raiders' 4-1 record going into today's football contest against Baylor University, a Big 12 conference rival.
A Downtown Vacancy
SUCCESS OFTEN BRINGS about a necessity for change, and a 33 percent increase in South Plains College's Lubbock enrollment meant that the college simply outgrew its campus here at 1302 Main St. SPC officials had to look elsewhere for bigger facilities and chose to relocate at Reese Technology Center. That is good news for Reese but bad news for the downtown area. When the move is completed next year, another good building in a once-vital part of town will stand vacant.

Movie departures
According to booking announcements made by Lubbock movie theater officials this week, the following films are expected to depart Friday:
Series premier Saturday
A look at the new CBS prime time TV series on Saturday: "That'S Life":(premiers Saturday, previewed Oct. 1) This is hardly a fresh idea. In her sitcom "Pearl" four years ago, Rhea Perlman played a blue-collar widow who enrolls at a university.
Chicks win best video at CMAs
NASHVILLE, Tenn. {AP} Country Music Association members showed they were game for a little controversy Wednesday, giving awards to the Dixie Chicks, Alan Jackson and George Strait. Lubbock native Natalie Maines and her band the Dixie Chicks won video of r the year for "Goodbye Earl," about the murder of a wife abuser played by Dennis Franz of "NYPD Blue."
'Fugitive,' other new series accent the dark side
NEW YORK - TGIF is definitely dead. A darker, more paranoid Friday night emerges in five new network prime time series. "The Fugitive" (7 p.m., KLBK TV-PG, V) wastes no time setting up the story of Dr. Richard Kimble (Tim Daly) on the run after being wrongly sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. Based on the 1960s series that inspired the hit 1993 Harrison Ford movie, this well-made drama may seem just a tad too familiar to most viewers. Mykelti Williamson plays Lt. Philip Gerald, who will pursue and almost catch Kimble week after week as the good doctor gets entangled in people's lives and then hop on a bus in search of the one-armed man (Stephen Lang) he knows is the real killer. Even the best material wears out with frequent recycling.
New 'Mermaid' is true sequel
It took the folks at Disney a while to come up with a direct-to-video sequel for its Oscar-winning 1989 hit, "The Little Mermaid," but it was worth the wait.
Andrews ground game stays constant
The names and faces change, but the style doesn't. Andrews bases its offense on running the ball, running it some more and then running it again until a defense proves it can stop the Mustangs.
Statistics not important to Golden Tor defenders
Forgive the Lamesa defensive players if they don't put much stock in statistics.

LCU sweeps Wayland
PLAINVIEW -- The Lubbock Christian University volleyball team swept past Wayland Baptist, 15-8, 15-0, 15-11 in a Sooner Athletic Conference match Wednesday at the Hutcherson Center.
Ratliff sisters bring different styles to LCU
Lubbock Christian University volleyball coach Steven McRoberts has no trouble telling the difference between the games of Mindy and Beth Ratliff. One hits with power, the other relies on finesse. One is keen in reading plays, the other relies on her quickness. One is a senior, the other is a freshman.
B-25 Discrepancy

Music Vs. Speakers
Re: the letter to the editor "Everybody's Taste Is Different" (A-J, 9-23), in regard to the controversy over loud speakers and "boom boxes." Evidently, the writer did not understand that the complaint was not about music, it was about booming bass speakers.

Is UN Anti-American?
As a taxpaying and voting citizen, I am greatly distressed over the continued anti-American actions by the foreign bureaucrats who control the United Nations.
Council Didn't Listen
The Sept. 13 public hearing regarding tax increases was a deaf ear joke and an insult to all citizens who grow weary seeing their limited incomes conscripted. The 20 or so citizens who spoke against more taxes had extremely valid points. One wanted his taxes raised. I hope he is singled out to get his way. Take 20 more citizens and the ratio will be the same. Since 1992 the incremental increases have added $800 yearly for me. I'm for another Boston Tea Party.
Sell To Highest Bidder?
Stem cell research, genome project and cloning are the new buzzwords. Many speak about the wonderful benefits of such advances. Imagine a world where illness and physical problems could be eliminated?
Column On Dad 'So True'
Re: Burle Pettit's column "Heavy advice should never go unheeded," (A-J, 10-1). I want to tell Burle Pettit -- Thanks for writing about my dad! This story is so true about him!
Misses Suzanne Fields
I notice some letters to the editor supporting Molly Ivins' utterings and others opposed. Even though I don't agree with her ultra-liberal, anti-George W. Bush stance, I can understand an editorial board needing to present positions of differing views.
Citibus Drivers Rude
I have to agree with the person who had written the editor on the issue of Citibus drivers picking up passengers from the doctor's office and mistreating the passengers by being rude and leaving them after five minutes (A-J, 9-11).
Asperger/Autism Article
Re: The article "Answers at last" (A-J, 9-22). Thank you for the article "Answers at last" and the coverage you gave for

Kenya teems with wildlife, and the world goes there to see it up close. Many of the animals you see there are unique to this part of Africa, and it is truly exciting to see them upfront and close to you in their natural habitat. This restaurant adds another flavour to this experience - that of tasting them as well. I must confess, however, that all the more unusual meats on offer(and on display) were too exotic for me!
This is clearly not a place for the 'chicken-hearted', and to be fair to them, the name says it all.

Those who suffer with this condition find it difficult to describe the sensations they feel that cause them to move their legs. As a result some people believe the condition is not physical but mental. Whatever your opinion, if any, about RLS might be, I would like to direct you to www.rls.com. It is the site of the RLS foundation. Thanks, Chris

It depends on the cause. If it is a medical condition, there will be a medical reason in the nerves or muscles. If it is a psychological condition, it could be related to ADHD, anxiety, or other disorders.

Hi Iburmaster. I have had RLS since I was a child. I see a neurologist regularly. I find that people around me have a hard time getting their heads around this disease. I would like to be more involved in public education about RLS. Thanks.
So, if a doctor makes a mistake and misses a fracture in your leg, the pain caused by it is psychosomatic, because there hasn't been found a physical cause? Cause that's what you're actually saying!
Penth Hane, Would you mind clarifying who your comment was directed to? I wasn't sure if it was me or Iburmaster. Thanks.
To be considered a psychological condition, it would have to be observed over several months. By that point, a doctor should notice your condition.
I just recently read an article on natural treatment for RLS, it has been linked to a magnesium, and iron deficiency. You should not take an iron supplement unless you have been diagnosed as anemic, it may also be a B-12 deficiency. All are easily tested with a simple blood test. Magnesium is relaxing to the body, as well as very healing. Other recommendations include calcium, and if it effects sleep melatonin, 5mg. Eat foods high in tryptophan, as this amino acid is very calming to the body. So it may be a mental ailment, such as lack of serotonin. Foods high in trytophan include turkey, dairy, nut butter, and whole grains.

Restless Leg Syndrome is also a sign of Spina bifida cystica. So is ADHD. If you research this it can go undisguised. Cysts can come in form of palpable mass. I know exactly what you're talking about. My fingers and toes tingle constantly too. I am out to prove my sanity that this is not all in my head. I've been locked in psych ward. Had needles and drugs forced inhumaneky into me. I'm over being told impossible. I can prove what I am saying with medical research. I have also suffered RSL along with many other things. I can see congenital illness through my whole extended family. It is highly in diagnosed. I know what you're feeling. I've felt it too. Something popped on my back in January. Felt like a cereal bowl pop off my spine. Now instead of feeling RSL I feel like they need to be chopped off.
There's 3 forms of Spina bifida. If you research and believe other symptoms fit your story too and someone listens to you can you let me know. I know what I see. I know what I feel. It's not in your head. They want it to be. If its in your head, it's in mine too, my childrens, my girlfriend and her 4 year old sons too. Mental illness does not exist. It is a symptom. Mental illness needs to exist for us to be guinea pigs, and others get rich.
The brain is a window of the stomach. Not the other way around. If your body is doing something your brain can't control, there's something along your spinal cord stopping the messages getting through.
The medical profession is nothing more than a scam and I can prove I'm right. They can only tell me it's all in my head. Prove it to me, don't just tell me.
You know your body. You know when something isn't normal. You go insane because no one listens. After what I discovered only by chance this week, I want to be wrong. I want the people who tell me it's all in my head to be right. If not, what I'm feeling ain't good. Sad thing is my kids have it too.
Dispute every diagnosis, especially when supposedly all in your head, until it can be disputed no more.
Doctors earn more money than sex workers, move along next, and don't even follow their ethical and legal obligations when becoming doctor's.
They go on holidays for medicating us. Especially for mental illness.

kiera, it is always nice to talk to someone who knows what I am talking about. I am sorry you suffer so much. Than you for taking the time to pass on such good advice. I know one person with spina bifida and he has a hard life.
Spina bifida occulta. It's in the base of your neck. It can be missed with MRI and CT scans. The cysts can hide in the abdomen.
Lesions can even be found in your wrists.

glzebub of four star
Mon 6th Jan 2003, 8:56 pm
hi, the good people at iden green are buried up to their asses in recording at the moment. we are encountering some technical hitches even at such embryonic stages. i know most of you have considerable expertise recording guitar/bass/drums before so i may as well try me luck,
we have a shure SM57 and SM58 dynamics and Behringer B1 condenser for our three good mics. amps we have a trace elliot speed twin 50W valve combo into a marshall 2X12, we have H+K and Fender amps also but we don't use them for recording cos they're not as good. we have many, many guitars and fx boxes and rack mountable goodies also. oh and two mixers and an Akai digital 12 recorder. and a set of drum mics.
we're getting the guitars 'o.k.' but i would just like to know what y'all would do in our situation to really nail as good a tone as possible. in particular what the fcuk to do with the mics and stuff like that.
bass, we have a good sounding bass but the amp sucks balls. it is a 70's H+H 150W(i think) 4 channel PA head into two handbuilt 2X12 cabinets (not designed for bass at all). on days it is passable, other days, mmm, yeah it's that whole ball-sucking thing again.
how , if possible do we get a good sound, re using avaiable mics etc...
Mon 6th Jan 2003, 9:08 pm
Well, I told you to experiment with mike positions, particularly off axis, at a moderate distance, and round the back of the amp (if it is open back).
Use headphones and vary the mike position, you'll hear a huge difference in tone depending on where the mike is placed. Make sure it ain't too loud, get away from the amp whilst someone else plays guitar, and the nuances of mid-range will be revealed.
The bass straight in via a DI box'll sound much better.
I really wouldn't recommend the H&H.
They were keek even in the 70s.
no coffee no workee
Tue 7th Jan 2003, 4:47 pm
What drum mikes you got?
Get the best possible sound from your guitar amp, then move about til you find the sweet spot in the room and try putting a mic (the B1 poss.) there.
Put the 57 up close to the edge of the speaker cone, pointing towards the dust cap and try blending the two signals to see what it sounds like.
Try the Fender too, esp if it has only one speaker.
If it sounds right, it is right.
A trick I've used for bass is to use a bass od/dist pedal with a small amount of dirt on the DI line.
It makes it sound more like an amp sound.
(Courtesy RATM, Marshall Guv pedal used for THAT bass sound, apparently)
Wed 8th Jan 2003, 4:37 pm
Yes but in 1978/79, Warren Cann of ULTRAVOX! used to play his Roland TR77 drum machine through his H&H amp live on stage. Apparently it was completely ahine.

Wed 8th Jan 2003, 11:12 pm
thank you for your advice, we await the return of mr.mccauley of fallout, then we will give it all another go.
what's all this about bass DI ing? ye wha? how does one do such a thing and does it sound good, like a good recorded bass amp sound?
Thu 9th Jan 2003, 12:56 am
It can do. What I'd recommend as a cheaper version of Podness....a DI with amp simulation,including overdrive...is one of the Sansamp guitar pedals that should still be knocking around.
I was talking about them with Morphsville on another thread.
Thu 9th Jan 2003, 1:08 am
Yup, Sans Amp bass driver is the bees knees. A mate of mine had one and I used to borrow it everynow and again (until the DI output of my Ashdown replaced it).
Classically its best to record a direct signal from the bass [i]and[/i] mic the cab, blending the two to get the best of both worlds (hence the pre and post outputs of the Bass Pod Pro).
But even a standard passive DI should do a better job than just throwing a mic infront of that H+H amp!?! A good D.I. box is a handy thing to have, infact its good to have a few of them.
The SansAmp box is expensive (£120) from memory, but you can get a basic DI box for under £20 and Behringer do a pretty good active one for about £30.
glzebub of four star
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 2:16 am
i will look into this DI box/Sansamp thing. we're considering an amp at the moment. it's a trace elliot 300W head of some sort i'm not sure which.
our drum mics? i think are called superlux, they're a fairly budget set but we do have a £110 sennheiser snare mic.
further experimentation is to be undertaken........
Niall Harden
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 2:41 am
meh to all of this.
i just want to try things with what we've got and see what sounds best.
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 2:29 pm
If you make up yer mind, I've tracked down someone I know who has a Sansamp pedal he'll willing to sell for the piffling amount off about £50.
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 5:00 pm
Tell you what Eamonn, if those boys aren't interested I would be. The preamp and DI on the Ashdown is good, but its a pain in the ass to cart around if its just for recording.
And I would encourage people to look at the Ashdown amps before buying Trace. Ashdown was set up by the guy who started Trace Elliot, but left to start the new company when Gibson bought them out. So an Ashdown is basically a Trace, only slightly cheaper and to me there's less fuckin about required to get a good sound.
Hell, I run mine with the EQ flat with just a little of the sub-bass, when needed, to add that little extra. Means I can use the EQ to tune the sound to the room, rather than create my sound.
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 5:06 pm
Yeah, but the Trace Elliots have those cool green stripes.
Fri 10th Jan 2003, 5:12 pm
Which are complete overshadowed by the glowing orange VU meters of the Ashdowns!!

Wed 15th Jan 2003, 6:50 pm
the Sansamp is indeed top! now, here's me, i was wondering if there is any distinct advantages/disadvantages of playing through two twelve inch speakers as opposed to four. i'm kinda thinkin' of getting a marshall 50W valve head and either use my 2X12 or convert it to a 4X12, is buying two other speakers worth it then? the amp i'm thinking of is a JCM2000 DSL50.
Niall Harden
Wed 15th Jan 2003, 9:30 pm
thinking, surely?
muh.. the sansamp has a few crackly switches, and needs a bit of pesuasion ometimes, but you (indeed, "one") can get some great sounds out of it. which is nice.
Thu 16th Jan 2003, 2:08 am
Being probably ten years or more old, I'm not surprised about the crackly switches...a bit of contact cleaner should sort that out.

Fri 17th Jan 2003, 2:46 am
hmmmm, speakers. I've always had a theory/way of thinking about speaker cabs. It may be completely wrong.
According to the reasoning in my head, the more speakers you have the harder the amp has to work, so for the same volume you get a more saturated sound. That is, you don't need to crank it as much to get the tone. Is this right?
I'm an engineer, I should actually know this kind of stuff. But I'll stick to aeroplanes, they're easier.
Anyhow, what I know for a fact is that for setups I've heard, a 4x12 is better than a 2x12. And the same for basses, a 4x10 is better than a 15 everytime. And an 8x10 is better still.
I can but dream.

Sun 19th Jan 2003, 2:52 pm
so you would all rather have four speakers than two any day of the week yes? apart from it being more of a bitch to transport.
Sun 19th Jan 2003, 7:16 pm
i always thought that fewer speakers were better for recording because all the power of the amp is going through one speaker, so you get a more concentrated sound.
This is very probably completely wrong, though.
Sun 19th Jan 2003, 8:04 pm
I'm not so sure you ever need the power of the amp that much. It's the tonal qualities that you want to capture.
glzebub of four star
Mon 20th Jan 2003, 8:29 pm
is it more detailed/dynamic or something?
Tue 21st Jan 2003, 2:38 am
here's an idea... try and get the hold of a 4x12 cab and compare the two!? Everyone will have their own tastes and opinons, only you can decide which you prefer.
I learnt this the hard way, god knows how many amps and basses I've been through having purely gone on other peoples opinions.
no coffee no workee
Tue 21st Jan 2003, 1:56 pm
Shouldn't really matter how many speakers you use as long as the o/p resistance (load) from the amp matches the the speakers i/p resistance.
If you do you sums and wire the speakers in a mix of series and parallel to make the recommended load you'll not over stress your amp.
As far as recording goes, I've found nine times out of ten a single speaker works better.
This is due to the fact that if you mike from a bit away, say 18", you'll pick up the sound from all the speakers and it can cause phasing probs.
8x10 bass cabs look great and sound great, but a 1x15 is better to record with.
In my opinion...
You don't know what you're talking about?
My 4x10 sounds the bomb, etc, etc...
Tue 21st Jan 2003, 4:57 pm
Actually, I've seen that phase problem happen when recording. We ended up doing the overdriven guitars on our album with a wee 15watt vox amp with just a single 10" speaker.
And I always D.I. the bass when recording
Suki Monster
Tue 21st Jan 2003, 5:52 pm
A 4x12 cabinet will have a lot more bottom end than a 2x12 you will feel the ground shake with the right amp.
no coffee no workee
Tue 21st Jan 2003, 9:41 pm
DI feeds always sound a bit too tame for my liking.
There's more character from the guitar/amp/speaker interaction, but that's just my taste in low frequencies.
On a plus point the amp/speaker will naturally compress the sound better than an external compressor on the DI feed. I haven't used a DI for the mix in ages. (Even though I'll cover my a$$ by recording one).
A 4x12 will sound louder than a 2x12, with the amp at the same volume, because you're using four channels instead of two.
Huge volume does not necessarily make for good recordings.
But great gigs...
Wed 22nd Jan 2003, 11:37 am
Yes but JJ Burnel used to play bass guitar through a Marshall 4x12,
and all the speakers blew, and that's why his bass sounds so incredible on "Rattus Norvegicus" and suchlike.
By the "80s", he'd replaced it with a "proper" amp with all the speakers "fixed" and it sounded wick.
"Go figure" etc etc
Wed 22nd Jan 2003, 12:29 pm
It depends on the bass, some DI better than others. My music man stingray sounds great DI'd, the Precision don't.
Having said that, I use the DI output of the Ashdown a lot, so there is a preamp stage infront of it.

Dell seems to have big plans for pushing public cloud services through its channel partners. The company has signed deals with both Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) to deliver Windows Azure and Google Cloud Platform through its network of global channel partners.
Both deals won't kick off immediately, but will begin sometime in 2014. Based on the agreements, Dell will provide Windows Azure and Google Cloud Platform services through its Dell Cloud Partner Program, providing some additional assurance the company will continue to embrace the channel go-to-market model for the cloud even as it undergoes corporate changes.
"At the heart of Dell's cloud strategy are customer choice and flexibility, the underlying reasons driving our continued expansion of the Dell Cloud Partner Program and our open, scalable cloud solutions and services across Dell," said Nnamdi Orakwue, vice president of Dell Software Strategy for Operations and Cloud, in a prepared statement. "The evolution of our Windows Azure alliance combined with Dell's end-to-end solutions, services and support will help Dell customers globally truly reap the benefits of cloud to achieve tangible business results.
Regarding the deal with Google, Orakwue added, "Putting the power of cloud in our customers' hands—and giving them the choice and flexibility to pursue the right cloud for their unique needs—will not only help individual businesses thrive, but collectively it will drive the whole technology industry forward to a new era of innovation."
For Dell, this makes it even more significant in the continuously growing cloud market. For Dell's partners, this provides them with more opportunity to offer end customers additional choices when it comes to cloud services providers. That seems like a good thing for both Dell and its partners.
And Dell plans to follow up on the cloud services with support and add-on services to help support its channel and its end customers.

Bear hitches a lift on rubbish truck
A bear hitched a lift on top of a rubbish truck in New Mexico.
The animal travelled at least five miles (8km) on the vehicle before making its escape up a tree.
Santa Fe National Forest spokeswoman Julie Anne Overton said the truck driver was picking up a dumpster last week when he heard a squeal and realised the bear had climbed on to the vehicle.
It then rode on top of the truck to a site where the Forest Service keeps a firefighting helicopter.
Helicopter mechanic Evan Welsch, who took photos of the bear, said about 30 Forest Service and National Park workers had gathered around to see the spectacle when it was suggested that the driver back up near a tree to give the animal an escape route.
The bear clambered up the tree and stayed up there about an hour or two before scurrying down and running off.

Argentina Won't Pay Back Loan To U.S. In Full
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina has until midnight tonight to propose how it'll satisfy a $1.4 billion U.S. judgment on sovereign debt that the country hasn't paid since its world-record default in 2002. A U.S. federal court ordered Argentina to pay the money. But Argentina's media have been reporting that the country plans to pay back no more than 30 percent and offer new bonds. Analysts say that would lead Argentina into another catastrophic default.

And so this is what I do - I pop these prickly emotions in a little glass message bottle and I push the bottle as far down as it can go. Then I forget about the bottle. It stays just under the surface, weighed down by a brave face and determination. But it's always there, always just under the surface, and always stopping me from moving forward, from truly feeling at peace.
I know the prickly emotions I've bottled away all my life are holding me back. I know this.
And so I'm taking responsibility, finally, and choosing to release the cap, so I can say what I need to say of these past pains, let them go, and move on. How am I going to do this?
I'm getting serious about meditation.
I've dipped in and out of meditation for, oh I dunno, the past 10 years of my life, but I've never been any good at it. I've never achieved a quiet mind, or a heightened sense of anything even remotely resembling awareness. But right now I'm being inspired by a book I'm reading by Jack Kornfield, called A Path With Heart. Yes I am reading this as I also read How much is enough? (I've never been able to read just one book at a time).
In A path With Heart, Kornfield writes of how healing the heart is necessary if we are to live at peace with ourselves and the people around us. It's vital if we are to achieve what we are capable of, and truly live a meaningful life. He writes about how meditation is a powerful means of healing:
"Powerful feelings, deep unspoken parts of ourselves arise, and our task in meditation is first to let them move through us, then to recognise them and allow them to sing their songs."
Allow them to sing their songs.
Kornfield quotes a poem by Wendell Berry, called I go among trees:
I go among trees and sit still.
All my stirring becomes quiet
around me like circles on water.
My tasks lie in their places
where I left them, asleep like cattle.
Then what I am afraid of comes.
I live for a while in its sight.
What I fear in it leaves it,
and the fear of it leaves me.
It sings, and I hear its song.
So yes, I'm getting serious about meditation. Actually I've been meditating in secret for the past few days. I'm using a mantra, which is just a few words I saw in an old book, but whose sounds resonate with me. They hit the right chords. They help me stay focused and quiet where previously my mind was like an uncontrollable puppy with a behavioural problem.
Also, I've been pondering trying my hand at transcendental meditation, or vedic as it's otherwise known. I'd love to know if anyone has tried it, and/or what experiences others have had with this or another type of meditation.
I'd also love to know if 'you know what I mean' when I say "I know the prickly emotions I've bottled away all my life are holding me back."

Mr. Six Trailer (2015)
16 September 2015 Drama, Action, Crime 134 mins
Many years ago Mr. Six was a notorious gangster. That was back when there was still such a thing as honour among thieves, when criminals earned respect and maintained principles. These days Mr. Six is all but forgotten, a living relic residing in a narrow alley. One day Six's son, Xiaobo, is abducted by some spoiled punks after he scratches their precious Ferrari. Mr. Six realizes that he must do whatever it takes to get his son back — even if that means returning to the life he thought he had left behind.

Jedi Mind Tricks
Music genres
Rap: Hip-Hop (2702 ) Hip-Hop (0 )
Jedi Mind Tricks are an American hip hop band that was formed in 1996 by two friends rapper Vinnie Paz (birth name Vincenzo Luvineri) and producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind (birth name Kevin Baldwin).
