...problems. In just a few breathing sessions, people can easily and comfortably transform their lives and learn a technique they can use to let go of negative feelings so they truly heal. Breath work does more than just stop panic. It enables a person to become free of confusing, static attachments to the past. We should be teaching breath work in grade school. EVE JONES Los Angeles
...fairly poor method for relating a memoir. For most of us, memories exist as visual experiences. As such, a more exact duplication of memory would require the use of a visual medium. Movies, obviously, would be one way, though cost and production are prohibitive. But painting and other static visual media have limited narrative possibilities. Comix therefore, offer the perfect vehicle for memoir, being not only inexpensive, but combining both the visual and narrative components essential to conjuring up the past. Two recent books, one about growing up with a disabled brother, the other about living through the collapse...

The $200 Plantronics M1500, on the other hand, had good volume but was user-unfriendly and staticky. A friend I called said it sounded as if I was playing with aluminum foil...

I preferred the Uniden because it was static free both inside my apartment and up to a block away. Its compact design hides the antenna inside the handset, and the glowing orange keys and display look sharp. The VTech got equally clear reception indoors, but I could stray only a few buildings down the block before buzzing...
