Extension > Extension County Offices > Meeker > County Agriculture Educator > Articles > Weather Delays Corn Planting but High Yield Potential Exists
Weather Delays Corn Planting but High Yield Potential Exists
University of Minnesota Extension Corn Specialist, Dr. Jeff Coulter, has provided updated corn planting guidelines for the wet spring of 2014. Dr. Coulter indicates that with the recent and expected rainfall, many growers may not be able to resume field work until May 3rd or early next week. This has led to questions about corn yield potential when planting is delayed.
University of Minnesota planting date studies show that highest corn yield typically occurs when planting is completed by mid-May. In a study from 2009 to 2011 at Lamberton, Morris, and Waseca, MN that was funded by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, average grain yield was within 98% of the maximum if planting was completed by May 15. In another study from 1988 to 2003 at Lamberton, MN, a planting date of May 15 resulted in grain yields that averaged 95% of the maximum. These same studies found that corn yield averaged 92 to 95% of the maximum when planting occurred by May 20.
Yield advantages associated with early planting typically are greatest when there is warm weather and rapid growing degree day accumulation between the first and second planting date windows. Given the limited growing degree days that have accumulated since April 21 and are expected over the next few days, corn emergence date is not likely to differ greatly between planting dates of April 21 and May 5 in this year. This will likely result in in similar grain yields between these planting dates, assuming that stand establishment with the early planting date is adequate.
Although timely planting is important, it is equally important to avoid tillage and planting when soils are too wet. In general, a field is fit for seedbed preparation when soil in the depth of tillage crumbles when pressed together rather than forming a ball. Sidewall smearing can occur when double-disc openers cut through wet fine-textured soil, resulting in compacted soil around the seed that is difficult for nodal roots to penetrate. In addition, seed furrows can open up after fine-textured soil dries following wet conditions at planting, resulting in poor seed-to-soil contact and poor stand establishment.
In order to maximize economic return, a general guideline for growers in Minnesota is to stick with the planned seed choices until around May 21-25. This is supported by a University of Minnesota study conducted at Lamberton and Waseca in 2010 to 2012. In this study, highest grain yield occurred with mid- and full-season hybrids (99- and 104-day relative maturity), even when the average planting date was as late as May 24. However, grain moisture at harvest was 2.3 percentage points higher with the 104-day hybrid than the 99-day hybrid with the late planting date (May 24).
When corn planting occurs between May 25 and May 31, it is wise to use hybrids that are 5 to 7 relative maturity units earlier than full season for the region. This reduces the risk of the corn being froze in early autumn prior to reaching maturity.
Most of the planted corn in Minnesota has been planted in fields with soil conditions that were suitable for preplant tillage and planting. However, cool and wet weather since the middle of last week is creating less than ideal conditions for germination and emergence. Seed quality in most planted fields should be fine, but it is a good idea to scout planted fields for seed quality once it dries out. This is especially true for low-lying poorly-drained portions of fields that have received considerable rainfall since planting. Seed quality can be checked by digging up several planted seeds from different areas in a field and checking for seed firmness and discoloration. Seeds that are soft or discolored may have problems with emergence.

DSS holds key to English study places
Most Popular
It has been reported in your newspaper recently that there is a shortage, in the thousands, of primary and secondary school places for the children of expatriate families in Hong Kong.
While these expatriate families are requesting the government provides more international school places for their children (who do not speak Chinese and therefore cannot attend local schools), many local schools actually have high potential to meet the demand.
Hong Kong has some very high-quality schools that are teaching both the local and international curriculums which are suitable for expatriate communities. For instance, some Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools have been admitting non-Chinese-speaking students. These schools provide an option to these children who may otherwise have to look for international school places.
More and more DSS schools are interested in offering an international/non-local curriculum. These curriculums include the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and General Certificate of Education - Advanced Level (GCE-A Level) programme from UK.
These schools also provide a learning environment that is appropriate to a multicultural and multilingual community.
DSS schools, in general, have more resources and greater flexibility in designing and setting an English-learning environment for students. These schools offer not just another alternative for expatriate families, but also a genuinely multicultural and English-rich environment for Hongkongers.
For Hong Kong to be successful as a multicultural and international city, it should be able to attract business and talent from all around the world. This can only happen when the educational opportunities of the children of these families are taken care of.
If the government can provide further support in the development of DSS schools and encourage them to provide more opportunities for a high-quality English-learning environment for both local and non-local students, more of these talented people and their families will come.
In fact, the most important point is that the education system should change and should not be out of touch with the demand.
We should discourage the mentality that there is a segregation of local and non-local students, with local students going to local schools only and international schools being solely for non-local students.

Firstly we need to define expatriate. From my way of thinking an expatriate is someone from a foregin country who has moved to Hong Kong for economic reasons. To get a better job for example and earn more money.
I do not consider myself to be an expatriate. I come from a Western country but I am an immigrant. Unlike expatriates I have made this my home and intend to stay whether times are good or bad. I immigrated here because it is where my wife is from and where her family are.
Children of expatriates in all likelihood will not stay in Hong Kong. They require an education that fits their language needs while they are here.
Another group of students comes from families with a long history in Hong Kong but who are from a mixed linguistic background.
Instead of arguing for more English schools, the HK Gov't should firstly try to put a number on the different types of students (we know from recent reports that they have so far failed in this).
Children of immigrants or others of mixed linguistic backgrounds should be made to learn the local language at a young age, i.e. Chinese should be compulsory from P1 onwards earlier is better.
The final, as yet unmentioned, group are those local parents who simply desire an English education for their children. They seem to be a large group. I know that parents from all economic backgrounds in HK seem to see being educated in English as a passport to success. But as a teacher I have seen too many otherwise successful students fall to pieces when forced to take exams in English. Previoulsy I worked in a Band 3 EMI school. Parents were happy their children were there, but I say take exams in English because the reality was that if the students were not taught in Chinese then they were unalbe to learn effectively. And of course if they are learning in Chinese for say a Sceince subject but are expected to give answers in English in exams then you can guess the outcome. Lots of tears and a fear bordering on hatred for education and English. I don't have the answer for this group. We need more open and honest dialogue in society about how our students should be educated.

A key aspect of ground-shaking map calculation is represented by ground-motion predictive equations (GMPEs). In fact, ground-shaking maps obtained soon after an earthquake are calculated by integrating observed data and ground-motion estimates from GMPEs for those areas not covered by seismic stations. Empirical ground-motion models that are used to obtain these estimates refer primarily to strong ground-motion due to large earthquakes and cannot be properly used to estimate the effects of small magnitude seismic events. In this paper we calibrated GMPEs for low-magnitude earthquakes from data recorded at the seismographic stations of the Irpinia Seismic Network, in the Campania–Lucania region, Southern Italy. In particular, the available dataset is formed by peak ground acceleration (PGA) and velocity (PGV) parameters coming from 123 earthquakes (local magnitudes ranging between 1.5 and 3.2) recorded at 21 stations of the ISNet network at hypocentral distances from 3 km to about 100 km. The total number of peaks measurements is 875. This study is part of a research project, in collaboration with the Italian Department of Civil Protection and National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, aimed at producing ground-motion shaking maps.

The essential elements are pitted olives (I like to use mixture of green and black, like maybe cerignola and nicoise), capers, good quality anchovy filets, and olive oil. Sometimes I had tuna. It's technically not "tapenade" without the capers. It's name derives from the provencale word for "caper." And of course be sure to use caper buds and not caper berries.

Ah, Nicole Richie. I love that bitch.
Milla J looks better every year....
Nicole icky sucks. Love the teacher picture, great way to create a legacy.
After 40 years, you would have thought the sweater vest would have shown at least some wear and tear. Must've used that cheer crap.
I think Milla's legs are tinier than Nicole's if that's possible.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel that outside of the fashion industry, most women have agreed that looking unhealthy and underweight is not the business. I could be very wrong, but I feel like the "body revolution" (best term i can think of) is always calling out photoshopped stuff, goop diets, too skinny celebs and all that.
Can someone explain why someone would want to be Nicole Ritchie's size?
As someone that has continually suffered with battling anorexia since she was ten, its more of an obsession about control most of the time, rather than specifically wanting to be that particular size. I've finally been covering the last 3 years.
I thought the teacher was a Smothers Brother the first time I looked. I don't look close to the age I have to be to know who they were. :(
I love the story of that teacher. The 2nd year he hadn't noticed that he wore the same outfit he had on in the previous yearbook. His wife thought that was hilarious & told him he should keep doing it as a joke.
Teacher guy is awesome. Or rather, his wife is for coming up with it!
Props to him for that outfit still fitting after all these years!
I'd be happy that my sweater vest still fit. He probably only wore it once a year!
Samuel and Magic now that seems an odd pairing.
Being thin is a social status thing as well. Even non-famous wealthy women keep themselves more trim. I think celebs take it further because the camera adds so much, seeing themselves in pics/on tv really helps skew their self-assessment.
It's like.... If I get to be this size, I will have everything together. All my closets will be clean, my wardrobe will be amazing etc. it's about control and a quest for a way to control every aspect of your life. There is no perfect, there is no magic bullet but when you are in that mindset .... It's not just about the size or about the food. Anorexia is a manifestation of a lot of other things.
FYI - they think that there might be a correlation between anorexia and ADD in women. ADD presents in women very differently than in boys or men. And those with ADD feel overwhelmed and out of control. Desperately overwhelmed. And so they try to get some control through food. It's something to look into for anyone who is going through it. And know it does and can get better.
I love seeing harlow. She is too cute!!!!!
I am that size (probably smaller since I am 5') and the truth is, if I put on 10 pounds, I look like a tiny blimp since it all goes to my stomach area, if I lose 10 pounds, I am skeletal.
I personally want to be HEALTHY above fit, but let me ask you, why would anyone want to be overweight? I am only asking the question you asked - it seems that a lot of naturally thin people get vilified and it's ok while it's not ok to point out most people eat like pigs and in return are fat like pigs but god forbid, 'that's how god made them.' No.
People need to stop discussing other peoples sizes. There's no right and wrong, there's healthy and there's unhealthy.
I have some friends who are much bigger girls and are very proud of it and I find it interesting that I have NEVER heard any of them talk trash on smaller people. The perpetual nit-picking at someones image is all about YOUR problem with your self image, not others.
Isnt it funny, being fat and pale was once a symbol of wealth. So was owning many books... The inverse square law of food supply, labor and wealth. Well the inverse law applies to physics but you catch my drift...
It sure looks like Magic behind Samuel L. Jackson; but isn't Magic taller?
I read an article, I think on Jezebel, about stores not selling sizes larger than 16 and everyone was pissed because the average American was larger. And I know the media shoves skinny people in or faces but I also was astonished that nobody said anything about how large the average was. Instead of complaining how clothing stores needed to start carrying larger clothing. To me, larger than six 18 is not healthy.
It's crazy, the bigger we get as a country the more anorexic Hollywood becomes.
The same out fit story is just too funny
Something weird has happened to Milla Jovovich's face. Plastic surgery??
Status? You really have no idea.
Oh GOODY! B Smears shares her vast and superior knowledge with us all! What an honor! THANK you so much. We might never have known if you hadn't advised us on this crucial topic
Wow. HONORED.
Why are Samuel L Jackson and Magic Johnson vacationing together? And is there a BI about a former A+ list athlete and an A list actor somewhere that could be about them?
thanks - that was what I was thinking as I read. So sick of skinny bashing - why is that acceptable when picking on someone heavier is taboo. Everyone just concentrate on your own damn self for once and stop laying out your own insecurities on others. Being obsessed with weight is unhealthy, whether always zooming in on the too skinny or too fat. flame away!
reader Photo #11 - YOU ARE SUPER FN HAWT !!!!
IIRC they are good friends...have been for years. Why is this so weird?
I think when this photo was snapped, their wives were doing some shopping around Capri (where they are all vacationing)

|Houston player's conditions improves, 2401957
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 15 August 2007 18:57
Trainers administered CPR and used a defibrillator to stabilize 20-year-old Jerrod Butler when he passed out in the weight room on Monday. Team physician Dr. James Muntz said Butler is back on a regular diet.
``If it was going to happen, it couldn't have happened at a better place,'' the player's father, Garland Butler, told Houston television station KRIV. ``It was the right place at the right time with the right folks.''
Butler's parents said they were shocked to see their son on a ventilator after driving to Houston from their home in Allen.
``We knew the gravity of it, with a 300-plus pound son,'' Garland Butler said. ``But (when we saw him) with a tube down his throat, just laying there helpless, it was hard.''

text: First New Neptunian moon found in a decade - S/2004 N 1 Neptune has a new moon, and its existence is an enigma. The object, known for now as S/2004 N1, is the first Neptunian moon to be found in a decade. Its diminutive size raises questions as to how it survived the chaos thought to have created the giant planet's other moons. S/2004 N1 is about 20 kilometres across, and it has a nearly circular orbit that takes it around Neptune in 23 hours. Its orbit is squarely between Proteus, the outermost moon aside from Triton, and Larissa. These moons are 400 and 200 kilometres across, respectively. But in the post-Triton chaos, such a small rock should have been swept up to become part of Proteus, or broken up by interloping asteroids sometime after the system settled down. "How you can have a 20-kilometre object around Neptune is a little bit of a puzzle," says Showalter. "It's far enough away that its orbit is stable. Once you put it there it will stay there. The question is, how did it get there?" There are currently no proposed names for the new moon.

Southwest: The region remained completely dry, with nearly 60 days since the last rain of about 0.2 inch. Red alerts continue to be issued throughout the region with flashing signs banning open fires and warnings of extreme wildfire risk. Hot weather with mid-afternoon temperatures in the low 90s and high, dry winds increased the risk of roadside and field fires. San Antonio was in Stage 1 water rationing. Spring wheat under irrigation made good progress. Irrigated corn, sorghum, peanuts, sunflowers and cotton were all doing well, but dryland spring crops failed. The harvesting of cabbage, lettuce and spinach began to wind down. Onions, cantaloupes, watermelons, green beans, potatoes and sweet corn made good progress under heavy irrigation. Pastures and rangeland grasses remained brown and dormant. Forage availability was below average.
West Central: Hot, dry, windy conditions continued, making the danger of wildfire extremely high. Fires continued to break out and spread across the region. A few areas have reported spotty showers, which may lower the risk of wildfires somewhat and aid spring plantings. Most small-grain acreage has been released for grazing by crop-insurance adjusters. Rangeland and pastures were in poor condition. Stock-water tank levels were critically low. Livestock producers were still having to provide supplemental feeding due to poor foliage quality. Some were selling off livestock in order to decrease stocking rates. Pecan growers were working in orchards.

An understanding that pay-for-performance (P4P) initiatives are not a"
magic bullet" to reduce costs and improve quality and the
realization that patients with mental illness may be successfully treated in
managed care settings were among recent conclusions arrived at by state
Medicaid officials.
Several of these officials discussed their experiences with P4P and managed
care programs during a November conference of the National Association of
State Medicaid Directors in Washington, D.C.
P4P programs provide payment incentives to physicians based on performance
measures instead of the quantity of care. Officials from several state
Medicaid programs that have begun to use P4P measures said that approach is
only one tool among many to improve quality.
Early assessments of the New York Medicaid program's P4P demonstration
projects, for example, have found quality improvements, but it remains unclear
how much those improvements were driven by the P4P measures, according to
Foster Gesten, M.D., medical director of the Office of Managed Care for the
New York State Department of Health.
"We hope that these demonstrations can help us create a more durable
model," Gesten said about the P4P impact on price and quality.
Gesten noted that P4P alone "is not transformative," and funds
also are needed for efforts that include upgraded health-information
technology and disease-management programs.
Many physicians have raised concerns about P4P programs, in part, over the
validity of the performance measures they use and the source of
performance-based pay increases in the tight budget environment affecting most
aspects of health care (see page
Gesten credited the "overwhelmingly" positive response of
physicians to the New York program, which used $20 million in quality
incentives, to the program's use of noncontroversial measures developed with
input from physicians over several years. These measures included regular
screenings for breast cancer and cervical cancer, dilated-eye exams in
diabetes care, and heightened focus on controlling high blood pressure.
The program did not face the strong opposition some P4P plans do"
because it didn't come out of thin air," Gesten said, since
measures had shown their effectiveness long before the P4P program began.
David Kelley, M.D., chief medical officer in the Office of Medical
Assistance Programs in the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, also
said his state Medicaid program designed its P4P initiatives to gain the
highest level of physician support possible. To that end, the three P4P pilot
programs implemented in the last two years avoided relative scales and scoring
that publicly compared outcomes for physicians' patients. They also provided
timely financial rewards to physicians and avoided penalizing them when
patients were noncompliant with treatment.
The programs were designed with financial rewards for all participating
physicians in the first year and stricter performance standards in subsequent
years. Another hallmark of the Pennsylvania approach was the use of clear
rewards for tasks performed, such as additional $40 payments for each"
high-risk" patient treated and an appeals process for
"We chose simple widgets to avoid controversy," kelley said."
You either did something or you didn't do something."
The Pennsylvania program sought to increase disease management through
steps that included, for example, rewarding physicians who submitted
chroniccare feedback forms to program administrators. The forms tracked the
ways in which participating physicians treated chronic-care patients. Kelly
credited this approach with the early indications that chronic health
conditions have improved in patients of participating physicians. Clinicians
have not been universally supportive of the methodology used to develop the
program, and they remain split over whether Medicaid should improve quality
through performance rewards or benchmarks, Kelley said.
Mike Leavitt, secretary of Health and Human Services, told attendees that
the federal government is committed to moving public and private health care
systems toward making health care quality and pricing information publicly
available. Before President Bush leaves office, Leavitt said, price and
quality information for a "limited number of procedures and
conditions" will be available to the public, and in 10 years that same
information will be "ubiquitous."
Although the most effective design for a P4P program remains unclear,
Medicaid officials said that managed care programs have been the entities most
aggressively pursuing cost-control efforts.
The impact of managed care Medicaid programs on beneficiaries with mental
illness and other chronic health conditions also was discussed by state health
officials. They acknowledged that Medicaid's growing use of managed care for
patients with chronic health conditions (Medicaid has long used managed care
for patients with acute conditions) has been controversial and that it
requires a special approach when mental illness is involved.
The New York and Ohio Medicaid programs have carveouts for mental health
care that largely exempt mental health care beneficiaries from the programs'
standard managed care requirements. The Wisconsin program opted to allow
enrollment for all beneficiaries with "chronic mental illness,"
although a small number of mental health services provided by counties were
carved out and exempted from managed care.
"We worked with advocates to put safeguards in place, and it has been
pretty successful because of that," said Angie Dombrowicki, director of
the Wisconsin Bureau of Managed Health Care Programs, about special measures,
such as ensuring that beneficiaries with mental illness have access to the
same medicines they were prescribed before entering Medicaid managed care.
Early measures tracking the efficacy of managed care for enrollees with
mental illness and other chronic health conditions have found improved health
overall and "great improvement in some conditions, such as
diabetes," she said. The Medicaid chronic health care
program—launched in 2004—was designed to improve overall patient
health through the use of "case managers" to improve access to
needed medical care and educate consumers about their illness.
New York and Ohio also are planning to move beneficiaries with mental
illness from fee-for-service programs into their managed care approach. Ohio
officials have developed implementation plans to avoid disruptions in the drug
regimens of enrollees with serious mental illness, said Jon Barley, Ph.D.,
Ohio Bureau Chief of Managed Health Care. One aspect of the Ohio managed care
plan would ensure that no prior authorization is needed for prescriptions of
atypical antipsychotic medications.
In New York the huge treatment costs for Medicaid beneficiaries with
serious and persistent mental illness have made their inclusion in the state's
managed care program inevitable, said Karen Kalaijian, director of Program
Implementation in the New York Health Department.

Bright yellow flesh and full flavor. Her friends call her "Beaut" for "fine, beautiful, promise of happiness."
Orbit Flat Nectarine
"I am crushing your nectarine! I'm a crushing your nectarine!" Mutters Mr. Tyzik as he views the fruit through the inch high gap between his index and thumb. This fruit has done no wrong to Mr. Tyzik, it is a perfectly fine fruit. It's just forced perspective.

Honey Blaze Nectarine
A baby from of the famous fruit tree developer Floyd Zaiger's nursery. Honey Blaze nectarines are yellow fleshed with a wonderful red glow.
Donut Nectarine
Different from the donut peaches, this nectarine can be sweet (and not astringent) in both the firm and soft form. There is a great amount of taste and sweetness in these and although it looks a bit odd and bumpy upon first sight.
Diamond Pearl Nectarine
White fleshed nectarines are sub-acid and very sweet. That it is developed from a branch of "Candy White" nectarine is a hint to its natural sweetness.

Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes has been keeping fans updated on his most recent shoot, trading in fur for flannel and acting as Leona Lewis' boyfriend in her new video for Trouble. Tough gig. Not! Haynes and Lewis steam up the screen and then quickly squeegee the love away in this music video of love gone wrong, with the beautiful Leona singing in front of a screen showing the couple's happier times.
Tweeting and instagraming pics from the set, Haynes has been praising his Trouble co-star, saying that Leona should consider a career in acting. If there was ever a singer whose face was made to be on screen, it's Leona Lewis.
Full of emotion and depth and Lewis' killer pipes, Trouble is the second single from Lewis' upcoming third album, Glassheart. Her first single, Collide, was released earlier this year.
Check out Leona Lewis and Colton Haynes in Trouble.

I can't stand people being upset at me or because of me ;c
Sunday, March 23, 2014
i feel mad or conflicted with myself sometimes because stuff that makes me comfortable with who i am is only because I take influence off the the actions, beliefs, and sayings that other people express.
it's come to a point that some people seem to assume that i'm always stealing from others, that it is their things and I started it making my thing. okay, that's paraphrased… but…
i dont mean to. i'll stop. or try to.
i don't know what to do that is defined as me without being defined as others.

I think I drive away a lot of people I want to be close with and it drive me nuts. It's like I want to be close to them, but push them away, or I try to be close to them and it feels like no distance has closed in and they are pushing me away.

I'm afraid of telling people I'm down now when people ask me if I'm okay now, especially those who knew my situation.
All I've been feeling a lot lately is social fear, solitude and occasional happiness.
Thursday, February 20, 2014
My worst fear at the moment is bothering or talking to someone so much that they feel like I want to talk to them TOO much. Talkative or attention needy or … what's the word… Iunno. Clingy?
But I hate being alone. Just walking back to my car reminded me of that.

Call me crazy, but I tried a new format that was more artistic when it came to my resume. This impulse to change my format was led on by realizing how different film resumes looked in comparison to regular formatted resumes. Let's just say one of the peers I showed my resume to went nuts and tried dramatically changing my format back to my original. He's expecting me to give him two different (specific) formatted resumes for him tomorrow to look over and send to his friend.
Jesus christ. I just wanted a little critique, but this is too much. I mind as well just use my old format but apparently any thing that strays from wordy, black and white, traditional style resume is too much for him.
I just wanted to stand out more.
Now I'm just lost again ;/

My goal this week is to eat more healthy. Eating more healthy meaning actually eating… No more starving myself. My exercise goals are pretty on point so far though.

This day was starting to feel like a little more sunshine is coming back as I'm not feeling so depressed anymore. Solitude has become a friend, despite feeling like I need a friend from time to time. But sometimes it's okay for me to just chill out on my own. I tried my best to avoid people, but people kept running into me at school from VSA. It was because of that that I started craving company again. I guess seeing people makes me realize that I like having company around because they sometimes often make me happy with their presence. I just get nervous around company or being lonely following that because I'm not sure who to "bother" to keep me company, following that. I don't know. It's a more complex problem than that. But I am a lot more glad that I am feeling a lot better, period, despite these little (?) problems.
Timmy and I had to cancel our plans to meet up at school and talk. He's actually one of the people I tried reaching out to recently since I haven't reached out to anyone lately. I might have been more sad about it, had my big Kyle not asked me to hang out Monday or Tuesday. So at least I had some trust that I can try to reach out to Kyle about my problems. At first when he asked to hang out, was scared whether I should because I was trying pretty hard to avoid people, especially since I didn't want to spill my emotions and problems on anyone, and try to figure things out on my own. But he asked to hang out and any opportunity to hang out with my big is always one that I look forward too. Also, he seemed to be acting strange lately, in a sense that he wasn't acting as…um…iunno. I'm usually iffy about how he reacts towards stuff I do or say, but he reactions were a little different. I thought something was up, but I found out on Monday night what that was (not going to say).
When we talked later that night though at the USU (didn't want to go out to buy food), I realized he had read my "-thoughtfulnotes" blog. At first for a second, I got a little upset and felt bad for anything bad I might have said about him. But he stopped me before anything and said not to apologize for anything. Plus, I've been trying a lot harder to restrain myself from getting too emotional outside my thoughts (aka crying). I was sure he had some important stuff to say too, so there was no use in getting too emotional about that point. He had a lot of important and insightful points he mentioned. It was from there that we cleared up a lot of things, regarding personal issues, school, ACE, etc. We also just had a pretty good time just talking to each other about other stuff as we drifted off-topic.
One thing that also popped up was the topic of him lecturing me (and others) and the competitive vibe when it came to video stuff in VSA.
It's true. I tend to get lectured a lot by my big more than the other littles. And it's true that he tends to get on people's cases about several things. But it's also true that I tend to approach other VSA and ACE people about my getting lectured a lot too. And it's not like I always get upset about it. I always know that he means well and he's always looking out for me. My problem was that I just wished for more affection or understanding (if that's the right word, because we always try to understand each other's situation when we talk…but I think I mean more like…connection? er…relatability?). With some details left out (for this note), we decided and agreed on meeting each other half-way on things, which is good for me. Not everyone can be approached the same way, socially (i.e. hugs and hangouts).
We both also come to realize that we can't be competitive about things concerning stuff like LB VSA VCN IT/Media, SDSU VSA film festival and the LB VSA Vietnamese Music Awards. We need to learn to cooperate w each other as a team. Plus, as big and little we shouldn't be aggressive towards each other when we're in the same family, same club, same team. Not that we were aggressive, but you can get that competitive vibe from the board meetings and such. Plus, I want to work on projects like that with my big. I want us to work together. I guess I just started feeling threatened when miscommunication happened and my twittle Vicki told me Kyle was going to do all of the video stuff by himself for the most part (on top of the situation with Phuong). But I'm happy we are trying to talk it out.
Overall, despite getting in trouble with my parents yesterday night for staying out later than I told them I would be (I forgot to let them know I would be), I regret nothing. I'm quite happy with how the day ended. I'm happy that Kyle was able to open up to me more about certain things, concerning him and myself. I'm glad that I had someone to talk things out with in the first place.
I know that I told myself I would be avoiding VSA and people for a week, but I think by now, I'm okay to just get back into my game and I might not be skipping that general meeting this week after all.

solitude is becoming more comfortable for me.
being alone is okay.
yet still not satisfactory.
i always want to hang with someone or talk with someone still…
but no one to truly go to.
i hate bothering people.
i need to be more assertive.
