  1. Chen Zhonghua on sung and peng

    You'll notice I didn't mention the second guy. IMHO his alignment is good - he should have been in front. Wouldn't have stopped them from flying
  2. Chen Zhonghua on sung and peng

    It is not fake. He is well grounded. If you blow up the photo you will see how disconnected the people who are pushing him are. For instance the third, fourth and fifth are doing nothing and it gets worse from there. No focus, no intention, looking off to the side to see what is happening. The first guy is leaning a little too much - off his center. Chen Zhongua releases a little the first guy falls in and Chen Zhongua shifts forward and they go flying.

    What we eat used to eat 3 meals a day now we are down to 2 as per schedule changes wake up 10 am - 2 cups of green tea or water about noon or with brunch -hemp powder 1/2 banana blended with water. Brunch about 2pm- Blended greens ( romaine lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, celery. dandelion) with avocado, tomatoes sliced on top) Fruit salad with blended nut and fruit topping( 2-4 oz nuts ( sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, cashews) - 1 table spoon ground flax seeds and sesame seeds mixed in. Fruits vary with the season. Here it is easier to digest the fruit and nuts as they are blended. Dinner varies between 6 and 8 pm Large green salad and a bowl of vegetables and beans (beans tend to take away hunger) cooked in a waterless pot. This could be kale, collard greens , mushrooms,onion,broccoli,parsnip. carrot, cabbage and whatever else is available. Sometimes we have spaghetti with tomato sauce and veggies, Sometimes artichoke, or squash, plantain whatever, yams, whatever If your food is balanced and you exercise you don't get hungry as quickly. If i feel hungry at any time I might have a piece of fruit or a little nut butter Weekends we eat dinner out I don't like to make fancy dishes as the simple tastes good to me and takes less time If you like fancy there are plenty of recipes out there. Dr Joel Fuhrman has some good ones.

    Sweets - sugar tends to make one feel hungry. Consider honey to be sugar. bananas and cashews or any nuts with bananas difficult to digest coffee can act as a laxative especially during transition not sure but chocolate might also act as a laxative. also nuts with sweets = gas Do some research on food combining to get a better idea of what combines well.

    Another thought As a vegetarian it is a good idea to find a doctor who is a vegetarian so you are on the same wavelength. At some point a non vegetarian doctor will roll his/her eyes - 'if you don't listen to me and eat meat or at least fish i can't help you.' or just tune out to your needs.

    As someone already stated - check in with the local vegetarian society. It is also helpful if you make a list of everything you eat in a week including spices condiments etc. if you post it you might get some helpful feed back.

    Give it some time. Your body has to adjust. One should move ones bowels every day at least once with no straining - and quickly - no time to read.

    Re farts Farts occur when food is not combined properly nothing to do with being a vegetarian. I have heard and smelled many a flesh eater adding to the ozone layer. also eating the food that digests fastest first followed by the next fastest etc will reduce flatulence. It is a good policy for all regardless of food beliefs. Re Frequent urination There is a tendency to urinate more frequently as a vegetarian as there is a larger intake of foods which become water. This also has to do with the amount of salt intake. I do not add salt to my food - when I eat out and salt is added i urinate less frequently.

  13. Push Hands Tips?

    your hands are like antenna's / feelers - offer no resistance - move from your center. resistance/tension gives something to push against - resist and you are gone. relax and you will be able to move ahead of your opponent. Do not plan your next move - don't think - be spontaneous
  14. existence is amazing; life is a miracle

    A wise being once said - it goes something like this - You all want miracles. You want to smell through your ears, see through your mouth,hear with your nose. The true miracle is that you can smell through your nose, hear through your ears, and see through your eyes.
  15. mystical poetry thread

    Using racist terminology to express anti racist sympathies can in a sense perpetuate racism, especially when one is theoretically ambiguous. He never explained what he meant

  21. Bill Nye on Astrology (expert opinions needed)

    How could there be any correlation between the movement of astronomical bodies vast distances away, which are predictable cycles dictated by physics, and the lives of humans? So I guess you don't believe in the moons relationship to the tides or the crazy people

    Poets are often eaten alive; their flesh can be quite tender. At one time I ate dead bodies with the best of them, never fully understanding the implications and the pain of how they arrived at my table. Then one day the desire, to eat empty houses of souls who have left or been forced to evacuate, was gone. What to do? With no effort, not knowing how or why; just as some people no longer wish to work, brush their teeth, exercise, or swim in the sea in dead of winter, my desire left me. What to do? I imagine human beings as quite tasty and would just as soon eat a cow, a cat, a dog, a pig, as a poet. So why the fuss. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat to the sounds of vegetables screaming! What to do?
