Pitta blocking kapha is not about the subdoshas. There's probably a reference in a book somewhere. Dr. Lad does discuss pitta blocking vata in his book on pulse diagnosis. > > > Congratulations on your Mandarin.

The Chinese characters may or may not display in the post though (chances are for anything other than Linux no). Actually I took an English phrase and had Google translate into simple Chinese then copied the phonetic version. I looked a little at Mandarin dialect in my language software which *isn't* Rosetta Stone but an inexpensive 3 CD program with 35 languages. http://www.elanguage.com/learn-a-language-index.html I was trying to learn Spanish (I had about 4 years of French) but looked at some other languages including refreshing what Hindi I know. Not bad software for the price. Of course you can learn a lot of languages online nowadays. As for Mandarin I use that more as a joke as most likely Chinese coming to the US to do business also know English. > > I borrowed Mad Men Season 1 disc 1 from the library some time ago.

The show is pretty accurate about the times and it amazes a lot of people how common smoking was back then. It also traces women's issues of the day. It is very well written, acted and directed. > > > ________________________________ > From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 11:50 AM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dr. Oz Water > > > > > On 06/23/2013 04:46 PM, Share Long wrote: >> oozgurunay, see how quickly I learn?
