I worship no gods. Baha'u'llah and I have an understanding, his guardianship has been crucial to my well being.

http://openatm.org/ Here is a good resource for those looking to explore the Feldenkrais stuff a little more. Following these lessons helped me with stroke recovery quite a bit.

Quoi? Damn CD mind passing some of that reefer this way?

http://killerbeans.com/site/home.html http://www.blackdogcoffee.net/ Those two guys are both well along their paths to roasting and have some excellent results.

http://rumsoakedfist.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13792 That is probably a good place to get some feedback. I do know that my friend who is learning Chen taiji (Chen Xiaowang lineage) speaks very highly of Chen Yu.

I don't know if Cambridge is too far for you or not but this fellow seems to have learned from some very good people. http://www.taijigongfu.com/boston.taichi.class.html

Hells yeah! Led Zep is the shiznit. I think tonight I shall bake myself and then listen to some excellent tunes.

I've considered suicide very carefully. I had a heart attack three years ago and a stroke a little over two years ago. My life has been absolutely bat shit since I was about 3. At 25 I've gone through more than most will before they reach 70. That said, life is still way too damned nice to quit now. The lows have been really low and the highs have been incredible. I've yet to find a better ride so I'm staying on this one until it's over.

Ya Mu, when is the second printing going to be made available? eBooks are not my thing I have a need to turn pages and smell the paper.

Michael, my main trouble comes from the tactile and olfactory experience more than anything. These electronics just don't register as BOOK to me. Although I haven't used any e-ink devices at length yet. Thanks for the input guys. My income is pretty shitty at the moment so a reader will have to wait.

Vernor Vinge's Rainbow's End has a pretty decent description of what books are going to be. Alas, I just can't seem to focus on any eBook for a long period of time.

I thought others might like to know when the printed edition would be available again.

That cracked me up.

<link removed by moderator please do not post links to copyrighted material> I found this a little while back and thought you all might find it useful if you're interested in the system. I haven't practiced it but I have read that many find it effective.

As far as qigong and EMF goes I noticed that I am extremely sensitive to TVs, speakers, monitors and so forth. Also I sometimes don't need to wave my badge at work... the doors seem to activate on their own when I walk up.

My most interesting coffee experience had to be a plantation liberica roast I got from Sweet Maria's. http://themeyers.org/HomeRoast/Topic25109.htm

http://rumsoakedfist.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5595 Here's another thread on a martial forum.

My Chen taiji teacher has always said that the chansigong exercises contain the whole art and that the forms are not necessary if one practices the chansigong routines regularly and correctly.

I used to home roast using this method. http://www.homeroaster.com/heatgun.html I've used just about every method of making coffee I could find. Ibrik, French press, vacuum pot, pour over filter, espresso machine, drip pot, and even that nasty old percolator. My favorite has to be the vacuum pot. http://www.northwestglass.com/yama-coffee-syphon5-cups-p-130.html In my experience from roasting my own coffee I find certain coffees benefit more from a dark roast and others are better at a light or medium roast. Some coffees are far too acidic lightly roasted. It's all relative. http://www.sweetmarias.com/roasting-VisualGuideV2.php

The Yucatec Mayan numerology is very simple to understand as is their method of dividing by zero. I am working on the assumption that everyone here has a basic understanding of high school geometry. The whole Mayan counting system is based on a 20 by 20 grid on an xy axis. Zero is a variable much like x as taught in basic algebra. Zero does not have its own space within this grid as the other numbers do. Zero is the central intersection of the two axes. In Mayan meditation one rotates this visual grid on that point. Working on the z axis or third dimension simply involves rotation of the grid. Visualization of other shapes is a matter of "opening" zero and manipulating the grid. One can add additional grids if needed to expand shapes but typically this is not necessary in order to create shapes as the grid is malleable and the size of the grid spaces is not concrete. The Mayan philosophy I was taught is very simple. Do what you love, do it the most, do it first, do it right and the rest is easy. One must be able to fly with the mind before one can fly in life. The first sentence is talking about following one's passions. The second sentence mainly involves intense visualization practice in combination with sonic frequency on the note C. Typically this is accompanied by usage of entheogens such as xtabentun, cannabis incense, aged tobacco made into cigars of pre-Hispanic construction, and other native plants. The physical side of this meditative practice is similar to natural and reverse breathing methods found in qigong. Longevity is not a focus of the culture as their diet, herbal intake, and lifestyles are very similar to high quality external alchemical practice. Dantian utilization is taught at a young age but is mainly applied to things such as manual labor and dance. Yucatecs are not much concerned with fighting. That said, my teacher is a high level practitioner of Shaolin external gong fu, Wing Chun under the lineage of Yip Chun, and Chen taiji under the lineage of Chen Xiaowang. One of his greatest passions of late has been observing the parallels between his culture's teachings and those of the Chinese. If there is anything more I can expand for you please let me know. I myself have been practicing under these guidelines in combination with the other eclectic practices I have gained knowledge of over the years and find it quite easy to fit in with my neigong, spiritual practice, and Sufi chanting.

When I said Mayan counting system I was not referring to time. I was referring to their basic arithmetic. We here in the West operate on a decimal counting system. The Mayan calendar like the Gregorian is still bound by observation of natural events and cycles.

My family members started calling me "Old Man" when I was 10.

I laughed my way through the whole book.
