Got Hiccups?

Hiccups? Try the Beckwith "Endless Breath" Method

The beauty of this method is that it requires no gadgets, cups of water, or anything other than breathing correctly. Nor does it require heavy breathing. On the contrary. It works by removing the irritating gap between the inspiration and the expiration, thus creating a continuous flow of slow-moving breath.
To do it, it helps to imagine breathing in a figure-8. As the outbreath reaches the end, slow the breath and twist it around so that it becomes the inbreath. Then simply create a figure-8 of continuous breath.
The hiccups will subside almost immediately. It has never NOT worked for me or my clients, and always works within 10 cycles. Usually less.
The technique is also useful for other breathing maladies.

War and It's Remedies : George Cone Beckwith

War and It's Remedies : George Cone Beckwith
The Book History Wanted to Bury

In 1847, George Cone Beckwith published a book called The Peace Manual: or, War and its Remedies. The book was so effective that it prevented the Civil War, both World Wars, The Korean and Vietnam War, and now it has prevented the Iraq War. Well maybe I overstate. Maybe it didn't prevent any of these atrocities, but one can't fault a guy for trying. He probably didn't realize what a bellicose nation he was living in. Nor did he anticipate a War Machine based on the profits and spoils of wars...deemed necessary for their economic survival. In other words, he didn't realize that America was going to be run by Satan and the Hell on Earth crowd, who actually thrive at the suffering of others.

He was a Congregational minister, who devoted himself to the service of the American peace society, of which he was for thirty-three years corresponding secretary. He also edited its magazine, "The Advocate of Peace," and wrote the appeals issued in its name, in favor of peace congresses and the arbitration of international disputes.

What's Black and White and Red all over?

What's Black and White and Red all over?
A legend of the Old West has roots in Virginia
Tall tales--some started by himself--surround the life of Jim Beckwourth, a Northern Neck native who blazed a trail out West.
By Ann McDuffie

Writing for Fredericksburg.com and the Free Lance Star, Ann McDuffie tackles the very full life of James P. Beckwith, a son of Sir Jennings Beckwith, whose family lived in and around Fredericksburg before making their way out west, where adventure, exploration and discovery were a daily fact of life. At some point in his life, Beckwith changed the spelling of his name to include "Beckwourth", which he may have taken to fancy.

I have read several of the volumes written about Beckwourth, and consider him to be one of the most American of our early pioneers. I wish Americans today would live up to the standards he set for himself back then.

Harrogate Stray and Beckwith, Yorkshire in the news

Harrogate Stray and Beckwith, Yorkshire in the news

Once part of a belt of common land that separated embryo Harrogate from the much older communities of Beckwith and Rossett, the Stray took its present form in the 1770s when it was declared with legal support “that it should remain ever hereafter open and unenclosed”.

Resurrecting a slice of history on The Stray

ONE of Harrogate's most famous celebrations will be re-created to raise
money for charity. In 1887 Samson Fox roasted an ox on the Stray to
celebrate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, and next month the tradition will be
repeated when Weetons of West Park host an ox roast as part of the Mayor of
Harrogate’s Inaugural Well to Well Walk.

The walk, taking place on May 7 in memory of the late Rosie Towers, will see the Mayor of Harrogate Coun Caroline Bayliss lead more than 200 walkers re-enacting some of the other
historic occasions that have taken place on the Stray.

Once part of a belt of common land that separated embryo Harrogate from the much older
communities of Beckwith and Rossett, the Stray took its present form in the 1770s when it was declared with legal support “that it should remain ever hereafter open and unenclosed”.

Once home to literally hundreds of sheep, they will return once more thanks to the help of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society.

A soft goodbye (for my beloved Aunt Betty Lou)

When the light begins to fade,
And shadows fall across the sea,
One bright star in the evening sky,
Your love’s light leads me on my way.

There’s a dream that will not sleep,
A burning hope that will not die,
So I must go now with the wind,
And leave you waiting on the tide.

Time to fly, time to touch the sky.
One voice alone - a haunting cry.
One song, one star burning bright,
Let it carry me through darkest night.

Rain comes over the grey hills,
And on the air, a soft goodbye.
Hear the song that I sing to you,
When the time has come to fly.

When I leave and take the wing,
And find the land that fate will bring,
The brightest star in the evening sky,
Is your love waiting far for me.
- Celtic Woman

The Inn at Woodstock

Hartfield, Virginia

Woodstock Farm is a river front estate still held by the Lincoln family heirs in Middlesex County Virginia. The historic Federal Mansion, situated on the Piankatank River was built around 1840. The grand property was purchased as a family home in 1920 by the youngest granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln, Jessie Lincoln Beckwith.
The Inn at Woodstock is a unique example of the Federal Style with its set back Portico and widow's walk overlooking the river. The 10 acres of manicured grounds surrounding the home were designed by Mrs. Beckwith, an avid gardener. She had a boxwood garden planted at the back of the grounds, which is presently being restored to its former style. A lane of Crepe Myrtle trees dating to the 1920's lines the drive approaching the house.

New York Times - TITANIC SURVIVORS MARRY - 2 March 1913

God is in the details.

The bride, who walked up the nave with her stepfather, Mr. Beckwith, who gave her in marriage, wore a gown of white satin charmeuse with a long veil of duches point that was draped in with the gown in pannier effect, the lace being carried down into a train. The gown was also trimmed with duchess lace. She carried lilies of the valley and white orchids.

The bridesmaids were Miss Gertrude Behr, a sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Beatrice Cook. They wore frocks of palest eau de nil chiffon over very pale pink and hats of white lace, having pink bows and all sorts of odd little Spring flowers caught in bunches here and there. They carried large bouquets of Spring flowers.

The Hitachi Foundation
"Nadiya's perspective as a multi-racial person has helped her to grasp the complexities of racism in the United States and helped her to see both sides of the issue. Because of this she has become a powerful and effective peer educator and organizer to bring diverse groups together to work to dismantle systemic racism at her school and throughout the Seattle School District."

Mother of the father of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra.

Oscar & Ellie Beckwith Stringfield


Ellie Beckwith, wife of Oscar Larkin Stringfield daughter of Calvin Beckwith, grand-daughter of Green Beckwith, and great-grand-daughter of Isaac Beckwith, who was my 4th great-grandfather -- making her my 2nd cousin, 3 times removed -- was the mother of the father of the North Carolina Symphony. No wonder I sometimes whistle.

Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship recipient and North Carolina native Lamar Stringfield had a passion for music. In the early 1930's, Stringfield envisioned what would become his legacy. His deep love for music and performing arts consumed Stringfield's every ounce of devotion as he tried to assemble an orchestra. Through Stringfield's hard work and the dedication of many volunteers, the North Carolina Symphony was formed in 1932. On March 16, 1932, the new North Carolina Symphony Orchestra performed its first formal concert at Meredith College auditorium in Raleigh. Comprised initially of unpaid musicians from local communities, and even some individuals from as far away as Richmond, Virginia, the Symphony and small factions had performed more than 140 concerts in 50 towns and cities around North Carolina by 1935.
