Gospel LK 14:12-14
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees.
He said to the host who invited him,
"When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters
or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of …
Gospel LK 6:12-16
Jesus went up to the mountain to pray,
and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, he called his disciples to himself,
and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew,
James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew,
Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon who was called a Zealot,
and Judas the son of James,
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
"Jesus went up to the mountain to pray,
and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, …
Gospel LK 13:31-35
Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said,
"Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you."
He replied, "Go and tell that fox,
'Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow,
and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day,
for it is impossible that a prophet should die
outside of Jerusalem.'
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
how many times I yearned to gather your children together
as a hen …
Gospel LK 13:18-21
Jesus said, "What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches."
Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
It is like yeast that a woman took
and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour
until the whole batch of dough was leavened."
When teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus instructed …
Gospel LK 13:10-17
Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath.
And a woman was there who for eighteen years
had been crippled by a spirit;
she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect.
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said,
"Woman, you are set free of your infirmity."
He laid his hands on her,
and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
But the leader of the synagogue,
indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath,
said to the crowd in reply,
"There are six days when work should be done.
Come …
Gospel LK 12:54-59
Jesus said to the crowds,
"When you see a cloud rising in the west
you say immediately that it is going to rain–and so it does;
and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south
you say that it is going to be hot–and so it is.
You hypocrites!
You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;
why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
"Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate,…
Gospel LK 12:49-53
Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her …
Gospel LK 12:39-48
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Be sure of this:
if the master of the house had known the hour
when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."
Then Peter said,
"Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?"
And the Lord replied,
"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward
whom the master will put in charge of his servants
to distribute the food allowance at the proper …
Gospel LK 10:1-9
The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples
whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them,
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way;
behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter,
first say, 'Peace to this household.'
If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace …
Gospel LK 12:13-21
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me." He replied to him,"Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?"Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions."
Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' And he said, 'This is what I shall do: …
Gospel LK 12:1-7
At that time:
So many people were crowding together
that they were trampling one another underfoot.
Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples,
"Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees.
"There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed,
nor secret that will not be known.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness
will be heard in the light,
and what you have whispered behind closed doors
will be proclaimed on the housetops.
I tell you, my friends,
do not be afraid of those who kill the body
but after that can do …
Gospel LK 12:49-53
Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,

Gospel LK 11:42-46
The Lord said:
"Woe to you Pharisees!
You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb,
but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God.
These you should have done, without overlooking the others.
Woe to you Pharisees!
You love the seat of honor in synagogues
and greetings in marketplaces.
Woe to you!
You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk."
Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply,
"Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too."
And he said, "Woe …
Gospel LK 11:37-41
After Jesus had spoken,
a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home.
He entered and reclined at table to eat.
The Pharisee was amazed to see
that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees!
Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish,
inside you are filled with plunder and evil.
You fools!
Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms,
and behold, everything will be clean for you."
In today's …
When Jesus had driven out a demon, some of the crowd said:
"By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons,
he drives out demons."
Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
But he knew their thoughts and said to them,
"Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste
and house will fall against house.
And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?
For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul,
by whom do your …
Gospel LK 11:5-13
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Suppose one of you has a friend
to whom he goes at midnight and says,
'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey
and I have nothing to offer him,'
and he says in reply from within,
'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked
and my children and I are already in bed.
I cannot get up to give you anything.'
I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves
because of …
Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.
Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said,
"Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me."
The Lord said to her in reply,
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not …

This video tutorial is in the Home & Garden category which will show you how to light up your ceiling without recess lighting. Tamara Maslar shows two easy lighting projects to brighten up your living room. The first project is lanterns. You will need paper lanterns, assorted fabrics, some screws with hooks at the ends, a glue gun with sticks, fishing line, 40W bulbs, extension cords and light kits. Put three screw hooks on the ceiling. Prepare the lanterns by fixing the bulbs to the light kits and putting one in to each lantern. Now hang the lanterns from the hooks on the ceiling. Attach 4 hooks to the ceiling close to the wall and tie fishing line between the hooks. Now hang different color fabrics from the center of the ceiling up to the walls which are going to hide the wires of the lighting kit. The second project is with chandeliers. Watch the video for the demonstration.

Passed The Year & A Half Mark
It's been awhile since my last update. In April, I had a procedure that kept me overnight & was my first surgery after transplant. I have one more procedure after Labor Day, hoping this is the last of it for a good stretch. This is the flare up of my TSC which usually acts up after the LAM settles down.
Apple Health App: How It Has Helped Me Manage Transplant
There has been much buzz on both sides of the fence in healthcare about the recent news articles concerning the Apple Health app.
Remembering Last Thanksgiving
I posted this to another social account. But I felt it was worth sharing here:
10,000 words down, 11 months in
I've made a tough call. I'm not abandoning my play, just setting it aside for now.

For the past two years I've written a novel for National Novel Writing Month. It was a welcome distraction & radical departure from my life.
It also disciplined me to write 50,000 words in 30 days, which seemed really daunting at first but was actually doable.
9 Months…
A few days ago (on 9/2) I made my 9 month transplant anniversary.
A few weeks before that I had another bronchoscopy because my numbers were down.
All appears to be OK. No rejection. That's good.
I'm hoping the fall brings better breathing numbers.

Have you ever thought of how an MTR train "know" where itself was? Since MTR EMUs are normally automatically controlled by computers (See Special -> Train Operation (Not Available)), it is very important for the on-board train computer to know where the train was, so that it could calculate a suitable and safe speed at which the train travels.
When a train passes through a Relocation Beacon, the Beacon Sensor installed on the train will "pick up" the information from the Beacon. Those information include the geographical location of that beacon. In this way, the on-board computer of the train knows where the train has just gone thru (See Special -> Track (Not Available)). Let's take a glance at how the Relocation Beacons look like.

Is your mind in the gutter? Well, it should if you want to have a house that is in good condition. Rainwater is a natural occurrence that can cause considerable problems for a house if it is not controlled by rain drains that are installed and maintained properly. There are many misconceptions about sewers and as a result there are many mistakes made by homeowners. In some cases, this error causes damage rather than prevents it.
Here's why your downpipes are so important:
To keep the land around the house stable
Issues with the foundation can be avoided
Flooding beneath the house and in the basement can be avoided
Avoiding erosion to help maintain the landscape and grass
Damage to walls from water can be eliminated
Water staining on bricks and stones can be prevented
Settling and cracking the sidewalk, patio and driveway can be reduced
Exterior doors and garage top doors can be maintained
The only downside to guttering is it needs effort. Homeowners must stay on guard for keeping gutters clean and orderly. You are probably guilty of not cleaning the guttering often enough for starters. If you wait until it is full of leaves and if you scoop up the soil from the gutters, you wait too long. If you have weeds and grass growing in the gutters, you might have caused damage. However, gutters are not intended for gardening. Here are the problems that cause clogged gutters:
Water damage occurs which can cause damage to the roof
Water can leak into the house and cause damage to flooring and the walls
The frequency of gutter cleaning depends on your home. Determinants include the closeness of any trees to the roof line, the type of tree (deciduous vs. green), and the slope of the roof. Low sloping roofs can require more frequent cleaning. Take care of all your pipes with Pipe Protectors from https://www.meterbox.co.uk/pipe-protectors
Homes that have trees located ten feet or less from the roof line, gutters must be cleaned at least two times yearly. Often, gutters might need to be cleaned just a few times during the autumn. Don't believe the myth that houses without trees don't need gutter cleaning. Downpipe cleaning may still be needed, especially in homes with asphalt shingles. As time goes on, shingles lose their small stones and these granules make their way to the gutter.
Correct Installation
Most houses with gutters do not have a complete system or are properly installed. A properly installed gutter system will include a smooth gutter on each sloped roof edge. Ditches must not hold puddles, not leak, must be firmly attached to the fascia, and should have downspouts that are firmly fastened to the outside of the house.
Finally, downspouts don't have to stop close to the foundation. This is a common mistake made by the installer and homeowner. What is the point of having a complete sewer system that removes all the water from the roof beside the foundation? What is needed is a diversion of at least three feet from the foundation. In many cases a flexible piece of black plastic pipe can be used, or a downspout section can be mounted at the end of the elbow.

A few days ago, while conversing with the passport lady at the Post Office, she asked me if I would be traveling soon. I told her I wasn't getting a passport to travel- I was getting one to evacuate.
So today, for only 151.00 dollars, I bought one of those RFID embedded passports. I don't really like embedded chips scattering my personal data from up to 30 feet away and heaven forbid the chip gets disabled. Some sort of crushing accident, perhaps a fall on my ass. I hope that doesn't happen but I've been known to be a little bit clumsy.
I need the passport for a trip I am going to take through Canada with my Roofracer pal, Troy. He has one of those underpowered Harley soft tails that makes a lot of noise but doesn't go fast. My bike has the opposite characteristics. In fact, with six cylinders and carburetors, I'm not sure it gets much better gas mileage than my car. I need the passport for a couple of reasons.
In the unlikely event (let me give you a wild ass example) of the government declaring that precious metals were illegal and that you had to exchange them for currency- that might necessitate a trip to one of our adjoining countries. I am a creative problem solver, ya know what I mean? Not that I would bother checking to find the cheapest safety deposit boxes in Canadian banks. That would be lunacy.
So after I paid the vig to the government shysters, I went down to the coin dealer. Just before leaving the house- I had watched silver absolutely in freefall. At one point it dipped nearly 2 bucks which is 6% off. I am always looking for spring "sales events" and when I arrived at the dealer he told me he couldn't buy or sell for a few minutes. While I was standing there, some guy came in and sold someone's silverware. He had it in a big freezer bag which is more commonly used for carrying pot. I wondered which commodity he'd rather have. Judging from the look of him, it was a toss up. At any rate, the gal behind the counter scratched each piece, eyedropped some reagent on it, and seemed satisfied with the results. At any moment, I expected this guy to open his mouth and pry out a gold crown and fork it over although he seemed a little short on teeth as it was.
Today, I was very happy not to be in the paper silver market. My heart goes out to those longs which cannot stand for delivery. Maybe we'll get 'em next month.
Everything great in the world is done by neurotics; they alone founded our religions and created our masterpieces. ~Marcel Proust

Buying an RFID Chip, Another Wild Ass Day in the Silver Market
1 comment:
- Dave said...
151 bucks for a passport? I just renewed mine for 80, with the ID chip in it. Just as long as they don't embed the chip in my forhead. I have good friends in canada (great folks, great beer) ready to take me in if all hell breaks loose. Would you agree if the Feds start demanding precious metals that the show is over, and then the demand for "other things" is not to far behind?

Self Canvas
This blog has definitely been an eye opener for me and this new season I'm in and honestly sometimes I just sit an think about everything that has led me here. One night this week I had sat on my bed and gone through my old blog and all the things I used to talk about and how now I look at myself and I feel lost in the sauce. Whats the sauce? Social Media of course. This year I've had so many transitions so quickly at the same time that it left my head spinning. Several times I had to reconnect and figure out what type of life I had lived and how I wanted to live now. In as much as people talk about marriage and having kids what I don't hear is how your life changes. Even now me being pregnant, I'm not as fast and I make sure I'm not over exerting myself. Sometimes I do but sometimes I don't even mind, funny enough the one thing that I've missed through this whole thing was spontaneity, it kept me creative. For me spontaneity had always been something that helped me get out of any creative rut, so what did I decide to do? Dye my hair.
In the past this has been the answer to things left unsolved. To me, my ability to take matters into my own hands and do something I know I definitely I'm skeptical or afraid of doing gave me power. Its honestly crazy how a simple change can make a whole load of difference in everything you imagine. Even my ability to launch my blog and just put my mind to it like I haven't done in a while was even more empowering. It got me back to being me, the dreamer, the person who though there are obstacles I break them.
My old blog plus my new mindset helped me understand that no matter who you are or where you are in life its really important to send time with yourself. Take photos of yourself, do something by yourself that would lead you to unlocking your true potential. Potential is such a crazy word for me because its actually defined as "latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness."
I've been told since I was a kid that this was something I possessed but never knew how to harness it or turn it into something useful. Different stages always bring out different aspects of a persons life but their ability to be able to sort through them is really what makes you strong. I've said a lot but trust me these are all the thoughts I've had that led me to take these photos. Who I was + Who I want to be = Who I am.
Have there been times in your life you've thought this way? Share them with me below.
Keep striving to find the light

Our man Robb Holland got to drive the new Panamera GTS. If you want a 911 but actually need to move adult humans and cargo, this car is it. Robb had some issues with the brakes, but we figured out why.
After a few hot laps, Robb realized that the Porsche stability control was zapping all his fun and when he brought the car in he noticed this...
"...It was so bad that when I came in, the left front brake was completely cooked and smoking even after a long cool down lap."
Well, one of our sharp-eyed readers figured out why the brakes weren't great when "cooked."
Well done son of a motherless goat...and the rest of you jokers and your silly puns.

Fresh off the excitement and results from the arrival of superstar Khalil Mack last year more than a few Bears fans clamored for the addition of another "special" name to the NFL's top defense, but it wasn't the salary cap or chemistry concerns that caused the team to stand pat.
While the club isn't as deep here in star talent as it is at linebacker and the secondary, Pro Bowl starter Akiem Hicks has become one of the most dominant interior defenders in the NFL, and nose tackle Eddie Goldman was a Pro Bowl alternate last year, is recognized as one of the game's better space-eaters and run defenders and probably has a few all-star games in front of him.
And where things really get interesting are sophomore Bilal Nichols appears to be the perfect blend of Hicks' and Goldman's skills, converted outside rush linebacker Roy Robertson-Harris is a unique blend of size, length, power and athleticism who was often a big play waiting to happen last year and former third round pick Jonathan Bullard in a contract year this season is going to be forced to push all four of these guys for reps if he wants to get paid.
The bottom of the depth chart is a bit iffy with veteran Nick Williams likely to claim the sixth and final DL spot on the roster, but the Bears will hope to see UDFA Jalen Dalton who they signed off a tryout at rookie minicamp or youngsters Abdullah Anderson, Daryle Banfield or Jonathan Harris take a run at him.
3 Burning Questions:
1. Just how high is Nichols' ceiling and how close can the 22-year-old get to it in just his second season out of FCS Delaware?
Nichols is a natural 300-pounder with explosive strength and power who was thought to be a bit of a project in the fifth round of the 2018 draft, but he was flashing big-play ability by halfway through his rookie year and has plenty of room to add another five or 10 pounds of muscle.
It would be easy to assume Nichols arrival was the product of the extra attention commanded by Hicks and Goldman but a look at the tape shows last year's rookie manhandling veteran O-linemen at times with both his explosion and quickness.
While the team doesn't release its first official depth chart until the Monday before the first exhibition, Nichols is already penciled in as the starting five-technique across from Hicks and he may be able to push Hicks and Goldman for reps at tackle in 40 fronts in the sub packages.
2. Will Robertson-Harris demand a spot in the starting lineup ahead of Nichols or will he continue to be a jack-of-all-trades?
Like Bullard Robertson-Harris is in a contract year and after becoming a Bear as another of Ryan Pace's URFA steals, he has become one of first Vic Fangio's and DL coach Jay Rodgers' and now Chuck Pagano's most versatile weapons.
A truly unique specimen up front at 6-7, 295 pounds Robertson-Harris has lined up everywhere in both 30 and 40 fronts, has occasionally been seen dropping into coverage and even at his current size is still capable of standing up in the 3-4 and rushing off the edge.
Fangio was extremely creative in how he used Robertson-Harris and it should be great fun to see what Pagano does with him.
3. What's next for Bullard?
Bullard was a dominating three-technique at Florida that the Bears appeared to steal in the third round but it was a curious move as the team had just switched from the 4-3 to a 3-4 base package under John Fox and Fangio a year earlier.
He has struggled to make an impact in his first three years and is probably a bit under-sized to flourish in a 3-4 scheme, but with the Bears in 40 fronts in their sub packages as much as 50 or 60 percent of the time, the arrival of one more interior pass rusher could make the defense almost impenetrable.
The Bears will be in great shape if . . .
Should Nichols and Robertson-Harris each take one more giant leap forward the Bears could have the best defensive front in the game.
The Bears are in trouble if . . .
We've already seen the best of these two and injuries keep Hicks or Goldman off the field . . .

Breathing in a Circle
On the last Tuesday of every month, around the world, small groups of people gather themselves into circles. They come together not to debate an issue, form a committee or follow a 12-step program, but to do what we all do every minute of the day: Breathe.
The Breathing Circle movement began in 2011 as the brain child of British breathworker Natalia Brown. What started off as a group of Natalia's friends has, with her support, spread around the globe. Today breathing circles can be found throughout Europe and North America, in Mexico, Australia, Lebanon, the Ukraine, India and Kenya. When asked why, in just three years, her circle of friends has become a world-wide phenomenon, Brown is quick to respond.
"They've discovered the power of their own breath," she explains. "Once you find out what breathing can do, you want more of it."
When Brown talks about the power of the breath, she's referring to the therapeutic psychological and emotional effects of breathwork. We all inhale and exhale around 20,000 times a day without paying much attention to the rise and fall of our lungs. In contrast, Breathing Circle members are acutely aware of their breathing. They focus their full attention on the movement of air into and out of their body. They also create a seamless connection between inhalation and exhalation by eliminating the natural pauses that occur in the breathing cycle. This particular form of breathwork is called conscious, connected breathing or CCB. And to anyone who has not experienced CCB, the effects are both powerful and unexpected.
"It takes you into yourself. It takes you to places you don't go every day," Larry Davis, a veteran of many breathwork sessions, explains. Davis suffered from depression since childhood. He tried medication, support groups and other forms of therapy with some, but limited, effect. In his 40s, he discovered breathwork.
"You experience another side of yourself," he says. "You really experience it — the part of you that can be happy. You learn to let go of anger and loneliness. You let go of that way of thinking. It's not easy to face it all but you grow out of it. In the breathwork, you grow out of it."
CCB, as experienced by Davis, generally takes place either in one-to-one sessions with a breathwork therapist, or in groups such as a Breathing Circle which are facilitated by a trained breathworker.
Breathers can sit but generally they go through the session lying down. The session begins with a conscious focus on the movement of air into and out of the body. Breathers gradually eliminate the natural pauses in the breathing cycle and because of this, breathing becomes a little faster and fuller than normal. From here the breath takes on a life of its own, sometimes flowing placidly, sometimes vigorously, at times high in the chest, at others deep in the belly. The breather feels like they are being breathed, yet at the same time, they feel fully in charge of the experience. Some breathers move about, some lie perfectly still, some weep, some laugh, some do both.
It's more difficult to describe what happens internally, where the therapeutic effects of breathwork take place. A breathwork session can contain memories, including the memory of birth. It can contain a full range of emotions as well as profound insights. Somatic sensations include waves of energy, tingling, and occasional localized pain. Breathers can experience sounds, smells and visual sensation often reminiscent of the psychedelic images popular in the 1960s and '70s. Senses become fluid and flow into each other. Physical sensations turn into emotions, emotions transform into insights. The inner experience of CCB is unique to each breather, every time they participate in a session.
"CCB is a lot of things in one," Natalia Brown elaborates. "It's a spiritual practice. It's also a psychological and emotional therapy. And you certainly feel better physically after a session."
Breathwork has an ancient lineage, particularly in the Buddhist tradition. But modern therapeutic CCB techniques such as Holotropic Breathwork and Rebirthing were developed during the counterculture period in the 1950s and '60s when the exploration of consciousness became popular in the West. Once an outlier in the field of psychotherapy, breathwork therapies have since developed their own theoretical frameworks and have grown into highly effective forms of therapy. This acceptance has happened largely without the benefit of objective scientific research. There has been, therefore, scanty objective evidence of effectiveness to back up the claims of both therapists and clients. That evidence gap is closing.
A 1997 study of Holotropic Breathwork published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychotherapy divided study participants into two groups. One group used traditional talk-based experiential therapy. The second group used regular Holotropic breathwork sessions in addition to the same talk-based therapy used by the first group. At the end of the study, the Holotropic Breathwork group showed significantly more gains in self-esteem and the management of anxiety than the group that used talk therapy without breathwork (Holms, Morris, Clance & Putney, 1997).
A 2003 study carried out in the Czech Republic examined the effect of breathwork on personality using a control group of non-breathers and a breathwork group. At the end of study the researchers described the breathers as "…significantly more able to enjoy the present moment, they are more independent of other people's beliefs, they are more flexible in their approach towards values, they are more sensitive to their needs and feelings, they are more spontaneous, they have a higher self-esteem and show a better capacity for establishing warm interpersonal relationships" than the group using talk therapy alone (Binarova, 2003).
A partial explanation of the breathwork experience may lie in the documented effects of voluntary hyperventilation, the kind of accelerated breathing that characterizes breathwork techniques like CCB. Within 20 to 30 seconds of commencing breathwork, blood flow velocity decreases in the arteries feeding the brain while the capillaries experience an increase in pH and oxygen saturation. After eight minutes the somatic sensations enjoyed by Breathing Circle breathers begin. After 15 minutes breathers experience various forms of altered consciousness or expanded awareness. These altered states may be linked to a reduction in activity in the frontal lobes of the brain.
Larry Davis describes breathwork as enabling him to face the elements of himself that are "not easy to face." As the frontal lobes are associated with the control and inhibition of cognition and behavior (Rhinewine, 2007), the reduction in activity could explain why breathers experience a wide range of often-painful memories and encounter full-on the belief systems that underpin so much human unhappiness.
"All those memories that surface during CCB," Brown explains, "all those belief systems that limit our ability to take charge of our own lives, are unresolved experiences from our past."
Events going back to womb time and birth are laid down in pre-verbal sense memory. Breathing, because it's a sensory experience, facilitates access to life events from all periods of life, including the pre-verbal. Bringing events to the surface in a safe, controlled environment allows the breather to re-experience those events as an adult with an adult's ability to put them into context and resolve them.
And this is where the Breathing Circle movement is taking breathwork to a new level. It is highly recommended that people initially take breathwork sessions with a qualified breathworker in a therapeutic setting. But while therapy is expensive, breathwork is something people can do for themselves. Once the technique is mastered it can be used in many different settings including breathing circles. The effect is not quite the same when practiced alone or in a group than with the undivided attention of a therapist in a private session. But the spread of the Breathing Circle movement is testimony to the fact that CCB can be a regular enhancement for anyone's life. And all for the price of a donation to cover the cost of the venue where the Breathing Circle takes place.

text: This inductee, a football product of Canton Glen Oak High School, came out of small West Liberty State in West Virginia to play his entire 11-year NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. Mark Murphy, a strong safety, proved outstanding enough to be enshrined in the Packer's Hall of Fame in 1998 by accumulating 900 tackles, 20 interceptions and 11 quarterback sacks during his career. One of those interceptions he returned 50 yards for a touchdown against archrival Minnesota. A "Where Are They Now" Packers' feature two years ago said of Murphy, "He wasn't flashy, he didn't crave the spotlight, but Murphy was a solid contributor to the Packers' defensive backfield." Murphy, who played from 1980-92, missed the entire 1986 season with a stress fracture of the left foot. However, he came back in 1987 to lead the defensive backs with 63 solo tackles and received the Ed Block Courage Award which honors NFL players "who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage." Recipients are selected by teammates for team effort as well as individual performance. In 1988 Murphy was voted the Packers' Man of the Year. The storied rivalry between the Packers and the Chicago Bears is Murphy's fondest memory of his playing days in the NFL. "It was always intense, always close and always a good game. It was fun!" Bears running back Walter Payton remains Murphy's favorite opponent. "It was just his work ethic, the way he handled himself. He'd lay a good hit on you, jump up, slap you on the butt, and run off to the huddle before you got up." Murphy rates the top three receivers he had to face as teammate James Lofton, the 49ers' Jerry Rice and Steve Largent of the Seahawks. Murphy, who suffers from a form of alopecia, an immune system condition causing permanent hair loss, led West Liberty to the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship in 1979, earning all-conference and honorable mention All-America accolades in the process. Currently, Murphy is Dean of Men and assistant football coach at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

A Prayerful Life
The Bible has much Scripture that encourages us to seek God through prayer. The Gospels and the Epistles are particularly filled with Holy Scripture that encourages us to seek God's face through prayer. Our direct line of communication to God is prayer. It is a deeply personal process by which we bring Him our prayers of thanksgiving and supplication. We go into our inner room and pray to our loving Father with full confidence that He hears us and will act on our behalf in the perfect manner and time.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 calls us to "pray continually" and other translations will indicate "without ceasing." I don't think we are expected to spend all of our life on our knees in prayer. I do feel that we can and should lead a prayerful life. This includes having a prayerful attitude. Look at the context of "pray continually" in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. The Scripture begins with "Rejoice always" and then tells us how by "pray continually." It concludes by giving the reason: "for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
A prayerful life has two fundamental components. First, we are constantly aware of the many blessings that we have because of Him. Second, we are able to be grateful in any circumstance. We are not grateful for all circumstances because some circumstances are evil and not from God. However, just as Paul was able to find joy while shipwrecked or in prison, we can find joy in our adversity because we wait with child-like anticipation of how He will use it for good.
A prayerful attitude is developed by acknowledging our dependence on God (Proverbs 3:5-6), realizing He is always with us (Isaiah 41:10), and choosing to trust and obey (Psalm 9:10). Prayer then becomes a continual process of offloading our fears and worries and uploading His love and grace. In a prayerful life, we put God first not out of obligation or fear but out of faith and love. Matthew 6:33 instructs us to, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness." If we do put God first, then He will surely give us His provision and protection as the good Father.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for the gift of prayer and the comfort of knowing that you hear all of our prayers. We thank you for the comfort of knowing that you desire greater things for us than we can ever imagine. Help us to develop a deeper sense of appreciation for our blessings. Keep us mindful that we can find joy in all circumstances because we know that any adversity we face on earth is temporary and will be used by you for our good. Help us to always prayerfully proceed in life and seek your kingdom first in all that we do. Amen.

From the Vasefinder Museum:
Jacomena Maybeck (1901-1996) was born in Surbaya, Java, of Dutch parents. In 1908, her family moved to the United States, where they ultimately settled in Crockett, California, near San Francisco. In 1927, she graduated from the UC Berkeley with a degree in secondary education. She married Wallen Maybeck, son of Bernard Maybeck in 1927. While in Germany after World War II, Jacomena was introduced to clay. Arriving back in the US, she took her first class from Edith Heath and then later enrolled at the CCAC now CCA, where she received her M.A. (ceramics) in 1952, where she was a student of Tony Prieto. She was associated with the CCAC as an assistant and teacher from 1946-1978. From our experience with Jacomena's pots, she worked primarily in earthenware and stoneware with the use of wonderful glazes. She also created stunning sculptures, which have a folk art edge. She appears to have rarely exhibited outside of California. She exhibited heavily in the 1950's at the Pacific Coast Ceramic Exhibitions, as well as the Association of San Francisco Potter's and the California State Fair to just mention a few. She won numerous purchase prizes. We show Jacomena also exhibited in 1959 at the California College of Arts and Crafts 30 Distinguished Alumni.

Our family law solicitors are always happy to have a preliminary and confidential chat with you to discuss the issues of concern and to outline potential methods of tackling them. We will always tell you at the outset what your matter might cost. Fixed fees are available for some areas.
Particular areas of specialism covered by our family law team are outlined below:
Pre-Nuptial and Cohabitation Agreements
Neither pre-nuptial nor cohabitation agreements are legally binding, but both are assuming increasing importance as more couples seek to protect assets acquired prior to their marriage, civil partnership or cohabitation. Correctly drafted, there is a significant chance of a court upholding one of these agreements. This is where we can help. Our family law solicitors are able to explain the differences between the two agreements, the prerequisites to drawing one up and, finally, can assist you to implement a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Divorce, Dissolution of a Civil Partnership and Separation
While divorce, dissolution of a civil partnership or separation are rarely achieved without some degree of emotional upset, the right legal advice can go a long way towards helping the separating couple avoid an unnecessarily acrimonious split. Our specialised family law solicitors can help you:
• estimate how long the process is likely to take (anywhere between 6 months and 2 years is standard);
• with which of the five "facts" (unreasonable behaviour, adultery, living apart for two years and both parties consent, living apart for five years and desertion for at least two years) that give ground for divorce apply to you;
• with the procedural and logistical aspects of obtaining a divorce or dissolution; and
• assess the chances of you having to go to court.
Division of Matrimonial Assets
Although a financial settlement order made by a Judge as a result of a divorce or civil partnership is legally binding, it is not always necessary to go to court to achieve it. Wherever possible, our family law solicitors will seek to help you and your ex-partner to reach agreement via mediation, negotiation, arbitration or collaboration. We will help you take thorough stock of your matrimonial or civil partnership assets, including bricks-and-mortar property, cash savings, shares and pensions. We will also look at any international assets, any debts and the anticipated financial need of any children. As part of this process you should expect us to ask questions about:
• you and your ex-partner's assets;
• current and future financial needs; current and future earning capacity;
• the age of you and your ex-partner;
• the ages and needs of any affected children; and
• the length of your marriage.
These questions might seem intrusive but they are necessary to help you achieve the best possible financial settlement for your future.
Child Custody
Arrangements for children can be one of the most stressful parts of any divorce or separation. However, it is not always necessary for the matter to end up in court. Our first approach is usually to achieve a mutually satisfactory agreement via mediation, negotiation, arbitration or collaboration. If this is not possible, our family law solicitors will guide you through the court process. At all stages, our team of professionals can help with matters including:
• custody (often referred to as residence);
• access (often known as contact);
• financial maintenance;
• possible relocation (both within the UK and abroad); and
• specific issues such as whether or not a child's surname may be changed.
We can also advise grandparents and other close relatives on obtaining legal access to a child.
Adoption, Surrogacy and Assisted Reproduction
Planning to welcome a child into your family as a result of adoption, surrogacy or assisted reproduction is an exciting time. Our family law solicitors all have considerable experience in helping couples and individuals to navigate the varying legal requirements and obtain a parental order.
Child Abduction Abroad
Moving a child to another country without the permission of either the other legal parent or a court may amount to a criminal offence. Despite this, the risk of abduction is often of great concern to a divorcing or separating individual whose estranged partner has origins or connections abroad. We understand the stresses of such situations and the need for urgent legal advice to resolve the matter as speedily as possible. Our family law solicitors are happy to act either for parents whose children have been (or are at risk of being) abducted abroad or for those who have taken their children to another country without appropriate consent.
Domestic Violence
We understand that it can take enormous effort and courage to extricate you, and perhaps also your children, from a situation involving domestic violence. Our professional and compassionate family law solicitors can help you apply for a court order to protect you from further violence, harassment or threats together with an order to prevent a particular person from entering or approaching your home. Our team can also help you protect your children and, when and you are ready, assist you to divorce an abusive partner and obtain a satisfactory financial outcome. Where appropriate, we seek to co-operate and liaise with other interested professionals including medical professionals, social workers and law enforcement agencies. Finally, we are also able you to signpost you towards other agencies that may be able to assist you and your children to heal the psychological scars and look forward to the future with confidence and optimism.
