Conifer Realty has threatened to sue in connection with the Town of New Castle's review of its affordable housing proposal for downtown Chappaqua, Supervisor Susan Carpenter said at a town board work session.
Carpenter made her remark at the Tuesday meeting while talking with her fellow town board members about problems with the consistency between the zoning for the proposal's site and the process for getting a special permit that's needed to build on it. The town board decides whether a permit is granted.
Conifer's plan would be built on a property that has a zone called General Industrial (I-G). Affordable housing is a permitted use as well. The 36-unit apartment building, however, would require several variances under the zoning, and some board members suggested recently that Conifer ought to explore a smaller building as an alternative.
Carpenter made her remarks about the spectre of litigation when referring to whether Conifer should continue spending money on a project that fails to comply with the I-G zone.
"That's the issue," Carpenter said in referring to the situation. "Is, is there any point in their [Conifer] spending money on a proposal for something that doesn't meet the I-G zoning, or do, because if that's our position then they may as well just go ahead with their proposal and, as they keep saying they'll sue us."
Councilman Robin Stout, who was in a dialogue with Carpenter when she made her comment, replied by saying, "The chips will fall where they may."
Whether Carpenter meant to bring up a litigation scenario, or whether it was an incidental remark, is unclear.
When asked by Patch for comment about the matter later in the night, Carpenter declined to comment. Alfred DelBello, Conifer's attorney, was reached on Wednesday and asked whether a lawsuit was on the table. He also declined to comment.

Iowa lawmakers continue hashing out details for an education reform they hope will change the face of schools in the state.
Legislators in the Iowa House and Senate have passed two different education reform bills.
Because of that, some of those lawmakers have to iron out a compromise in a "Conference Committee."
The debate continues causing stress for area schools, especially when it comes to state funding and teacher contracts as school officials are left struggling to balance budgets with so many unknown factors.
"People are being asked to cut and trim, but yet then change and reform, and the two just don't go together," said Superintendent for Waterloo Community School District Gary Norris.
Norris said a handful of Waterloo schools, as well as multiple schools across the state, are classified as "Schools in Need of Assistance (SINA)" if they don't meet federal guidelines set by the No Child Left Behind education law.
Before being classified as a SINA, schools are given an opportunity to improve academic standards and they are placed on a watch list.
Kingsley Elementary is one of many schools on the state's watch list.
Norris said approximately 440 students attend, but the building is designed to hold 350-380.
The high enrollment and unknown details of a potential education reform makes planning for the future tough.
"We're not whining or complaining," he said. "We're up to the challenge, but it still makes reform very difficult."
While state lawmakers hammer out a deal that could impact teacher salaries, implement teacher leadership programs and implement funding for allowable growth, Norris said he's optimistic.
"We need to get this done for our kids," he said.

Hastings suffer cruel play-off defeat
Updated 11:22pm Tuesday 29th April 2014 in Sport By Mike Legg
Hastings United suffered Ryman South One play-off agony tonight as they lost 3-2 after extra time at Folkestone Invicta in their semi-final.
Battling United twice fought back against Invicta to force the game into extra time only to be undone by a cruel own goal.
Frankie Chappell gave Folkestone an eighth-minute lead as he flicked in a cross from the left.
But Tim Olorunda levelled for Hastings four minutes after the break when he converted a Sam Adams cross.
Folkestone retook the lead in the 67th minute when Johan Ter Horst pulled a low cross back across the Hastings area and Dane Luchford arrived to bury his finish past Josh Pelling.
Hastings came back again in the 75th minute when Folkestone failed to clear their lines and Adams drilled home from outside the area with the aid of a deflection.
A cagey extra time was decided by substitute Nathan Ferguson's own goal as he attempted to block a pass but the ball looped high over the keeper from 30 yards out.
Folkestone will now play Leatherhead in the final with the prize of promotion to the Ryman premier at stake.

Ultimate Airliners: The DC-9 Classic is a state of the art simulation of the Douglas DC-9 aircraft for Flight Simulator X. The DC-9 Classic simulates the DC-9-30 series aircraft and represents a new level of realism, simulation accuracy, graphics quality and included features coming from Coolsky.
The DC-9, built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, is a twin-engine, single-aisle, short to medium range jet airliner. The DC-9-30 is capable of carrying just over 100 passengers. It cruises at around 570 mph/910 km/h and has a range of about 1600 nautical miles (3000km). The DC-9 family of aircraft is one of the most successful series of airliners ever built with a total production of over 2,400 aircraft.
The DC-9 Classic comes with fully operational 2D panel. Two forward views, two views of the pedestal , two views of the overhead panel, four circuit breaker panels, numerous training windows and an assortment of sub-panels and pop-up windows for all your cockpit needs.
Both 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen versions and a 4:3 standard version of the panel are included.

Virtual Cockpit
The virtual cockpit 3D model and textures have been created by McPhat Studios. Widely known for their texture work, McPhat Studios are now also doing great 3D modeling work. They have put the same level of quality and attention to detail into their 3D modeling as they have in their award winning texture packages.
With everything modeled in 3D, even down to the smallest moving instrument parts, the virtual cockpit has been designed to maximize the immersion factor and to give you the feeling of 'being there' as you fly.
Read more about the virtual cockpit
The aircraft model, also modeled and textured by McPhat Studios, is just as rich in detail as the virtual cockpit. There are moving parts all around down to the individual control tabs on the control surfaces.
The external aircraft model fully simulates the "flying ailerons and elevators" of the DC-9. Rather than being hydraulically operated, like on most other aircraft, the DC-9 ailerons and elevator are operated by a control tab at the end of the control surface which flies the control surface up and down. This means the control surfaces won't move on the ground when there is no air flowing over them.
Six high quality McPhat Studio liveries are included in the release package.
- Aeromexico
- Alitalia
- Eastern Air Lines
- Hawaiian Airlines
- Scandinavian Airlines
- Ansett Airlines of Australia
Further liveries are available in McPhat Studios award winning World Airliners addon textures package line.
The aircraft model's doors and airstairs can be controlled and operated from the Ground Operations section in the Flight Center.

Navigation Simulator
Radio navigation is the name of the game when you are flying a DC-9. The DC-9 Classic includes a Navigation Simulator that will have you up to speed and flying by radio navigation in no time at all.
The Navigation Simulator will show you, on a moving map style display, all the VORs and NDBs around you, your position in relation to them, your heading, your bearing from the selected station, the desired course to or from the selected station and where you are in relation to that plus a whole lot of other data.
The Navigation Simulator will give you visually on screen the mental picture that you need to have in your head in order to stay ahead of the aircraft and on top of your navigation.
Read more about the Navigation Simulator
Read more about radio navigation
The DC-9 comes with live interactive schematic drawings of all major systems. These live interactive schematic drawings have been designed to help you understand exactly what is going on with your aircraft and its systems.
Sometimes it can be difficult to fully understand exactly what happens when you flip a certain switch, but with the schematic drawings you will see live exactly what is going on with the aircraft at all times.
Read more about the schematics
Failure Simulation
The failure simulation system in the DC-9 Classic allows you to practice how to respond to different types of emergency and abnormal situations and scenarios – just like professional pilots do when they go in for their regular simulator training ride.
The DC-9 Classic simulates 140+ individual system failures and situations in 3 categories of emergencies and 14 categories of abnormal situations. You can setup a single system to fail or you can set multiple systems to fail in sequence thus simulating broader failure scenarios.
Read more about failure simulation
The DC-9 Classic is equipped with the Sperry SP-50 Automatic Flight Control System. The Sperry is an old school autopilot with old school features. It may not have all the nice features of a modern autopilot. However, with the low level of automation in an old aircraft like the DC-9, you will find this autopilot indispensable.
Automatic Aircraft Configuration
The Automatic Aircraft Configuration feature, or Auto Config for short, has become one of the signature features of the Coolsky aircraft. The Auto Config feature has been designed to completely and properly set up the aircraft for you according to the selected phase of flight. All systems, switches, knobs and levers will automatically be set according to the appropriate checklist.
The Auto Config feature is a set-and-go type of feature. Once you have selected your Auto Config option, all that remains for you to do is fly the aircraft, navigate and enjoy your flight.
Read more about the automatic aircraft configuration feature
To help you learn how to fly this new aircraft, the DC-9 Classic comes with an integrated cockpit training system. This training system guides you step-by-step through all the checklists and procedures necessary for the safe and proper operation of the aircraft.
As you step through the training lesson, the training system will describe exactly what you need to do. The training system will also automatically open the appropriate panel window and highlight the instrument, switch or lever being discussed. All the guess work and searching for switches has been taken out of the equation.
Read more about the Integrated Cockpit Training System
You can select the number of passengers and amount of cargo you will be transporting, as well as the fuel load needed for the planned flight in the Dispatch section of the Flight Center. You can open a complete Weight & Balance Control form for manual weight and balance calculations and you can print out a departure plan with a complete loadout summary, all in the Dispatch section of the Flight Center.
Read more about the Flight Center
Various options to customize your DC-9 Classic cockpit environment and training are available in the Flight Center.

The DC-9 Classic manuals are available as free downloads. If you would like to have a look at the User Manual (product details and features) or the Aircraft Operating Manual (operations and system descriptions) before buying the DC-9 Classic, please feel free to download them here.

Four years ago my partner and I (Brian Kelly and Ted Williams) produced a guest house casework and mill project for a fellow woodworking firm. His client recently requested that we execute an additional cabinet for the main house as an entertainment center.
Crafted by Brian Kelly, the material is African mahogany with a maple interior. All surfaces are either carved or hand planed and scraped to represent an 18th century finish reminiscent of the period furniture in their collection.
The piece posed some unique problems as had the earlier project. All pieces had to be cut and assembled prior to carving, then disassembled for final assembly and finishing before applying to the interior casebody.
The finish is a low sheen water-based lacquer with hand rubbed wearing before glazing.

Brian and Ted,
Really nice work. It reminds me of a large dresser I had custom-made in Mexico many years ago, but your finishing is much better. I refinished mine after it was shipped to me because I wasn't fond of the "tarred" look.
Welcome to LJs and thanks for sharing.

I am curious what the BCS polls would look like #1-#8 if voters cast their ballots for the best teams based on their feelings of who would win a game on a neutral field right now (and ignoring the records of the teams). Below is what my "Who beats who" poll would like. What would your poll look like?
#1 Florida - they look dominant right now. I don't know if anyone could beat Florida 6 out 10 on a neutral field right now.
#2 OU - I hate em, but I do feel they would beat us 6 times out of 10. Thus I rank em ahead of us.
#3 TX - My #3-#6 are all close, but I feel like TX gets the nod given how much our defense is improving (and I'm a homer). If our offensive execution had not seemingly dipped significanlty recently, I would put us ahead of OU.
#4 Tx Tech - I'm still not fully sold on Tech although their last 2 victories have been impressive. Still, I feel like Tech has always beat everyone on their own turf. If they beat OU, I bump them to #1b with Florida.
#5 USC - Since this is a "Who beats who" poll, I'm (probably stupidly) ranking USC high since they seem to gear up and play well in big match ups against other highly ranked opponents.
#6 Alabama - may seem low, but they've had trouble putting points on the board and have a relatively soft schedule with their "big victories" coming over Georgia who's looking like fools gold and barely beating LSU whose current QB who looks like a highschool JV back up . Maybe they'll prove me wrong and beat Florida.
#7 Ok st - I think they're better that what they played versus Tech
#8 Penn St - Offensive execution has been poor of late (much like our Horns), but the defense is stout. If they played bama, it would be a 0-0 game.

With very few exceptions, its not a good idea for companies to make and sell substandard products and services.
Yet, thats exactly what happened leading up to the 2008 financial crisis where banks bundled shaky and suspect mortgage loans known as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and resold them to pension funds and other investors worldwide. And while some financial services companies have since settled with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for their role in misleading investors, most have not admitted fault.
Which leads to a larger questionwhen is it acceptable to knowingly sell a substandard product?
Charles Morris, author of The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown aptly describes the period leading up to the financial crisis of 2008 as sheer idiocy. To start with, he says, debt to equityor leverageby many financial firms was as high as 100:1. In addition, high risk mortgages were more than the flavor of the month, as CDOs in 2006 were created from more than 40% of all mortgage originations. And of course, we havent even mentioned derivatives such as credit default swaps (CDS) that tied global banks together in an intricate web of interdependency.
What is the end-result of the 2008 financial crisis? The International Money Fund (IMF) estimates losses from the financial crisis at $4.1 trillion, jobless rates still hover at 12.5% or more in some states, and 401K accounts are still recovering from losses of 30-50% and sometimes more! Indeed, if anything has been learned from this global meltdown its that caveat emptor still reignsotherwise known as let the buyer beware.
Lets get back to CDOs for a minute. A collateralized debt obligation is simply a bundle of 100-200 mortgages that are sliced and diced into tranches and then priced and sold to investors based on a risk management formula. Investment banks engaged in buying mortgages from mortgage mills and then packaged and resold these CDOs to investors. Not a bad concept, unless you know beforehand that the package consists of fraudulent and dubious loans that will likely never be paid.
In fact, Carl Levin, chairman of the US Senates Permanent Subcommittee on the Financial Crisis scolded a row of investment bankers on the process of producing CDOs and other financial products saying, You people think its a piece of crap, and go out and sell it!
But heres the rubas the writer of the Financial Times Lex Column describes it; selling crap is no crime per se. In fact, the writer goes on to say, If the SEC is so against the practice, it should also prevent people from the buying of crap too.
In fact, there are many businesses that profit greatly from the buying of distressed assets including foreclosed homes, flailing companies, and even tarnished brands. Obviously, these sales should continue. However, the writer of Lex must also remember that some US states do prohibit the knowing sale and re-sale of defective products; for a good example see lemon laws for pre-owned cars.
A Financial Times reader respondstongue in cheekto the Lex column by saying if it is indeed a legitimate business practice to sell substandard products that the Lex column author, should bear this principle in mind (the next time he/she) visits a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, lawyer or accountant.
With the advent of the internet, the Smartphone explosion and now social media, global companies cannot afford to take the risk of knowingly selling sub-standard products. This advice of course, only applies if companies care about brand perception, reputation and integrity.
For many companiesreputation is one of the last bastions of competitive advantage. Millions if not billions of dollars in brand equity and goodwill are at stake. And consumers have long memories. There are no real shortcuts when it comes to quality.
In an age of asymmetric informationwhere the seller often knows more than a buyerwhy are brands so important?
When is it OK to sell a substandard product?

Spitzer as Giuliani
posted by Ben Smith
Tue, 02/13/2007 - 2:44pm
A friend with a long memory sends over an October 18, 1998 New York Times story in which Eliot Spitzer expressed his disdain for "the current mayor [who] thinks he's a dictator."
But really -- and a lot of people would say for better, rather than for worse -- Spitzer is Rudy, isn't he?
The Times story concerns Spitzer's appearance that year at a meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Independent Democrats.
According to a transcript excerpt provided by the Mayor's office, an unidentified man in the audience said: 'I'm a New York City taxi driver treated like a dog in the streets by the current administration. I haven't heard one Democratic candidate oppose the treatment we're getting from Adolf Rudolph Giuliani. I wonder if you would say anything about that tonight.'
Mr. Spitzer was quoted as responding: 'Well, what I have said -- I've been pretty open about this -- is that the current Mayor thinks he's a dictator, and does not have sufficient respect not only for other branches of government, but also for the citizenry and its opportunities to speak out and be heard.'
"He then referred to Savonarola, the Italian friar who preached against the sins of 15th-century Florence. Savonarola, he said, "also tried to impose a certain moral standard, code of conduct, and was burned at the stake."

Forecast: Without Sean Payton, Saints turned into road kill
As the 2012 Saints season enters the final two weeks, it's become clear the Saints miss Sean Payton the most when they are on the road. Going into 2012 the question everyone kept asking was, "Where will the Saints miss Sean Payton the most?" It's a hard question to answer using statistics or facts, but I'm going to try to at least use one.

Well-dressed monkey goes bananas at an Ikea store in Canada
A monkey dressed in a sheepskin coat shocked shoppers at an Ikea store in Toronto, Canada.
The seven-month-old animal managed to escape from its crate in a vehicle and started roaming around the car park, much to the amusement of passers-by.
Bronwyn Page, who was among the shoppers that spotted the sharply-dressed monkey, said:
– Bronwyn Page
There was a group of people around and a little thing on the ground...at first I didn't know what kind of animal it was or what it was and I was like 'oh my gosh, that's a monkey.
This is so bizarre. Like why is there a monkey at Ikea? Like I never expected to see that. I was pretty shocked.
Ms Page said she first thought the monkey was fake but learned otherwise when the animal began running around the crowd and screaming.
Onlookers eventually managed to get the monkey inside the store and the authorities were called.
Toronto Animal Services said the owner signed the rhesus macaque monkey over to the organisation and faces a single charge of having a prohibited animal. The monkey is in good health and is in the agency's care.
News of the animal went viral on Twitter with #Ikeamonkey trending in Toronto and "Toronto Ikea" trending across Canada.

Moore, Oklahoma tornado: Dozens killed as huge twister levels parts of suburbs, hits schools
UPDATE: Death toll rises in Oklahoma tornado http://bit.ly/14MotKg
MOORE, Okla. (AP) - A 2-mile-wide tornado leveled parts of the Oklahoma City area Monday afternoon, killing at least 51 people and injuring dozens others, according to the state's medical examiner's office. Officials say more than 20 children are among the dead, and the number of fatalities is expected to rise.
Homes and buildings in Moore, Okla., were reduced to rubble, and vehicles littered roadways south and southwest of Oklahoma City. Hospitals are treating more than 140 people who were injured, including about 70 children.
According to Oklahoma City station KFOR, Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore was hit by the tornado. Seventy-five students were inside the school when the storm struck. While several kids were pulled from the rubble early Monday evening, between 20 and 30 are still missing.
Rescuers say they don't expect to find any more survivors.

Briarwood Elementary School in Oklahoma City was also hit, but all the students have been accounted for, according to KJRH, our Scripps reporting partner.
Neighborhoods in Moore were flattened and blown apart, with shards of wood and pieces of insulation strewn everywhere. Television footage also showed first responders picking through rubble and twisted metal in the suburb south of Oklahoma City.
The National Weather Service says the tornado had wind speeds up to 200 mph. The weather service's preliminary classification of Monday afternoon's tornado was an EF-4 on the enhanced Fujita scale.
The suburb of Moore, where Monday's damage was concentrated, was hit hard by a tornado in 1999 that included the highest winds ever recorded near the earth's surface.
The city of Joplin, Mo., sent assistance to Moore on Monday evening.

ORLANDO, Fla. — It's been five years since Kristen Stewart was plucked from supporting player/ indie-film obscurity and thrust into the spotlight as the female face of the "Twilight" franchise. Five years … and as of this month, five films will have passed, as Stewart grew from someone the New York Times labeled "a sylph with a watchful, sometimes wary gaze" into the 22-year-old named by Forbes as "the highest-paid actress in Hollywood" — earning some $34.5 million, according to estimates.
"Those are pretty formative years," the "Twilight" muse muses. "It is a little strange, if you think about it, growing up on camera like this. But I don't think about it."
She can't put her finger on how she's changed as an actress, either.
"If nothing else, I should have gotten better at picking up and putting down a lot of my inhibitions. It's all about being impulsive and doing things that move you. I think I dropped a lot of fears over the course of these films. But I picked a few up, too. And those new fears could be interesting to watch down the road. Or not interesting at all."
She is guarded, as someone who has gathered the shrieks of teen-fan approval, and the condemnations of teen fans upset when she was caught cheating on her "Twilight" co-star and off-camera beau, Robert Pattinson. The "characteristic hesitancy" that New York Daily News critic Elizabeth Weitzman noted in her acting is her off-camera persona as well.
But Stewart, who apologized to fans over her indiscretion and has apparently reunited with Pattinson, is letting it all roll off her back — the fan sniping, the critical spanking the "Twilight" movies have endured, being the most widely impersonated actress of her generation, in horror spoofs on TV and in movies. (Then again, nobody impersonates Amanda Seyfried.)
Her goal, Stewart says, is to avoid becoming a self-conscious actress, to keep the spontaneity in her work.
"I find that as soon as you start considering 'the fame thing,' over-thinking the career and all, you're putting yourself outside of yourself and you start to worry about how you're perceived. You worry about how some part you play or how something you say is going to land ... I can't do my job if I do that. But I definitely see other actors who love being famous so much that they do whatever it takes to stay famous ...They're able to turn on the charisma, the likability, when they have a movie coming up. I can't. You're going to be so disjointed if you start living through how other people perceive you."
It pays to remember how young she is, that she grew up in the movies, making a mark as a child actress in "Panic Room" with Jodie Foster when she was 12. Like many a child actress, school was by correspondence course and college hasn't figured in the equation. There's acting to be done, and if she stumbles for words — confusing "tactfully" and "tactile" for "tactically" when talking about planning her career — there's always time for college, like her role model, Jodie Foster, if and when the acting career cools off.
Which won't be any time soon. Ben Affleck just cast Stewart as his novice con-artist sidekick in "Focus." Filmmakers tried for more than 50 years to turn Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" into a movie. When Stewart signed on in a supporting role, director Walter Salles got it done.
Stewart says she's loves being an actress for hire, "of fighting for a part, convincing someone that you've got something they need." But now, being rich and famous with proven box office clout, she's having to give up some of that freedom by taking control.
"It's strange to have the roles reversed, where I can be in control of what I get to make. One thing that I love about the job is having NO control." But expect her to initiate her own pet projects in the very near future.

Still Life with Autumn Fruits
ca. 1670
Oil on oakwood
Inv. No. 121
34.9 × 44.8 cm
Mignon's fruit pieces reflect the paintings of Jan Davidsz. de Heem, with whom he worked for a time. On the corner of the marble table, around a Venetian covered goblet and a wine glass, he assembles squashes, grapes, plums, peaches and sections of orange on a pewter plate, a chestnut, cranberries and blackberries. Grape leaves form the backdrop before the black background. The elegant curves of the peach branch, the ears of grain and the blackberry vine – typical features of Mignon's still lifes – border the painting to the right in the manner of a Baroque cartouche. Mignon's style was adopted by his pupil Maria Sybilla Merian, who executed illustrations of nature for scientific purposes.

In some people's eyes. To other Ukrainians he was democratically elected and represented their views. Are you so sure that his pro-EU replacement was democratically elected?

Breathe Baby, Breathe!
Month two of my Iyengar training program is under way and in January, I attended a Clay and Anatomy workshop taught by Marcy Schafler. In this class we were exposed to a 3-D look at anatomy where we molded clay into muscle shapes and applied them onto the corresponding area of skeletal manikins. We discussed the origin, action and insertion points of these muscles, in addition to reviewing extension and rotation, then we practiced poses to help internalize our new found learning. One of the most powerful teaching tools Marcy used throughout the workshop was the use of imagery in all her instruction. Needless to say, I learned a wealth of information from this class, but the most meaningful piece of imagery occurred inside a 10-minute conversation during our break.
Just before the break, a question was asked about the exact location of the lungs in the body. While Marcy was showing us, she made a passing comment about the distance between our mouth (where we inhale) and our lungs. It was an interesting visual reference since the space between the two seemed further than I had thought. It then occurred to me that the space between the mouth and lungs could and should be filled with air, but this does not happen automatically by just breathing in. In order for it to happen, I need to actively bring my breath down the length of my full chest cavity and into my lower abdomen. Ah Ha! This is the reason that my breath often feels shallow, I am stopping short on the inhale. A small group of us began talking about breathing and Marcy mentioned that people with asthma, anxiety and attention deficit often have shallow breathing. She suggested that we begin to visualize breathing into a straw. This can assist in the sensation of bringing the breath down into the lower parts of the chest cavity and as far down as the pelvis making it less likely that the air will be confined to the upper chest.
For the past two weeks I have consciously been breathing either literally through a straw, or visualizing this technique while breathing. I count 5 or 6 breaths on the inhale, visualizing the expansion and inflation both in the front and back of my body, like wings. My exhale is typically longer by 2 or 3 counts than the inhale. The image of the exhale is blowing out candles and releasing stale air. The changes and benefits of this full breathing have been remarkable and immediate. The most extraordinary change is that I no longer eat as much at meal time. I do not need as much food because I am filled with more air! It feels as though there is literally only so much room for food. I have spent most of my life filling up with food when what I really needed, what my body needed, was to breath. Go, figure! My cravings for sugar have also dramatically decreased. I would have never thought that my body has been starving for oxygen all these years. Instead I was busy focusing on what vitamins I needed, or if I had a thyroid problem or if I needed more cardio, less dairy, more meditation, less wheat, more water, and on and on and on.
I am now more aware of my breathing than ever. I have noticed little things like holding my breath when I am in a hurry, and my breathing more shallow when I am busy and overwhelmed. The beautiful thing about breath work is that you can practice the techniques any time and any place. I have been breathing through my imaginary straw in the car, the grocery line, walking the dog and sitting at my kitchen table. I am grateful to finally have access to my full breath and for the willingness to be a beginner. - Robin Muskal
