Think Voice Training is Just For Hollywood? Think Again
When you hear your voice on your voicemail, what is your first reaction? Shock? Disbelief? Disgust? What is your second reaction? More than likely, it is to promptly forget it. It might be a good idea to listen again to that voice and acknowledge the fact that what you hear on your answering machine is the sound by which everyone knows you. While you may not recognize it, your family, your friends, and your colleagues do. That voice which you find shocking, appalling and/or embarrassing is your vocal image. When I was a child I would talk to my friends under water. The sound would be very garbled and muffled because it was sound that was traveling through a liquid.
The Quick-Fire Killer A Short Story
There's a reason for most things, and there was a reason no one could catch the killer..., let me correct that, no body could keep the killer long enough to secure him safely in a jail. Bell Edwards Lynn, he was no Jessie James, but he killed almost as many as Jessie did. Born 1947, in Minnesota, wanted by the FBI since, 1985, and no one have ever caught him, or kept him long enough to serve over 18-months in anyone jail. Why? This is the story of killer, his victims, and why he has never been confined (and there is much truth surrounding this story). His motives for his spree of killing, loose at best, but that is for you to decide, to me they were mostly-not all-what I'd call accidental.
Bubble Machine
I enjoy blowing bubbles even more During childhood, I used to like anything and everything that produces bubbles. In fact, my mother used to let me to do the dishes most of the time just by squeezing some dish soap in the bottom of the sink and letting me fill it up with water. This was a so exciting for me, but I enjoyed blowing bubbles even more. I was some bubble maker, too! I knew just the right mixture of soap and water could make bubble wands better than the ones you buy in stores, and could even get the air pressure enough to blow as many bubbles as possible. I realized how well a mechanical bubble blower work Looking at my first bubble machine, however, I knew that I had been doing it all wrong.
The Politically Incorrect Shakespeare
I find that I enjoy Shakespeare plays best when I have brushed up on the written text ahead of time. Reading Romeo and Juliet this last week in anticipation of an imminent trip to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival (Stratford, Ontario), I was struck once again with the extent to which Shakespeare can offend contemporary sensibilities. Take the opening scene of Romeo and Juliet. Samson and Gregory, who apparently work for the Capulets, are trash-talking about what they'll do to the Montagues if they get the chance. Samson brags, I will show myself a tyrant: when I have fought with the men I will be civil with the maids -- I will cut off their heads.

The Monster Archaic In English and Spanish, Both Versions Revised in 8-2008 Bullfight in Lima
(The Bullfight) I tell you this for a truth. Well, it all started out simple and my Grandfather, well-something inside his head got triggered. It all took place in the bull-ring at Lima, 1923. My Grandpapa was born in l886, and had retired from boxing long before, unwillingly, but kind of had to. Oh, he had fought the best, Jack Johnson, Sullivan, and then, well I will tell you the story. I didn't see it happen, how could I, I wasn't born yet. It was a mystery for many years to me and many others, but I know how he was, and the Peruvian woman he said he was in love with, fine, Latin blood she had, but she didn't understand, I doubt anyone in Peru understood that warm hot summer day when Anatolia, the blue-eyed gringo went mad, nutty.

The Key A Fairytale - The Final Chapter Part 4 A Promise to Keep
I resignedly went back to my training, somewhat relieved, but in my heart, I knew this whole episode with Weepasa was simply my mind trying to squirm out of the inevitable - the constant mindfulness he insisted would be required. In time, I was able to see that these questions were not me, and there was, in essence, nothing that controlled me or was controlled by me. It just happened due to kamma. The contact with my senses and the impulses in the mind merely came and went like everything else in the universe that resulted from a previous condition. If only I could experience the unconditioned, that state of existence where I was not the result of something that had happened before - or the cause of something that will happen in the future.
