"The Vegetarian Myth: If you haven’t read it, grab a copy ASAP. For those of you who don’t know, Lierre was recently the victim of an assault at a San Francisco reading. Masked thugs came out from behind the stage and smashed her in the head and face with pies laced with cayenne pepper. After the assault took place, while Lierre was trying to get the burning pepper out of her eyes, the audience (of mainly vegetarians) cheered. It was truly disgusting. Richard Nikoley and Tom Naughton reported on the assault here and here. Jimmy Moore has a interview with Lierre about the attack here. Tom Naughton proposes a rationale for such behavior here. It appears that militant vegans have secured Lierre’s name and other versions of her name on Twitter and are mounting a vicious smear campaign against her. Purchase her book to fight back. Success is her best revenge."-Michael Eades, MD
“No stunt is more beautiful, more symmetrical, more eye pleasing, more attention-attracting, or more universally admired than the handstand. No stunt is more indicative of highly developed neuro-muscular coordination, controlled strength and power, and skillful daring than the handstand. No stunt is more satisfying to do, more impressive to watch, or more widely performed, than the handstand. The handstand is truly the “King Of All tricks” and probably the “grandfather” as well. For sheer psycho-somatic joy, nothing can equal that which comes from developing absolute control over your own body. There is no greater mental-physical pleasure than that which comes from being able to press into a perfect handstand and hold it without the slightest quiver. Nothing can give you a more satisfying feeling of self-confidence than that which comes from knowing that every muscle in your body, from the tip of your fingers to the tip of your toes, is eagerly waiting to obey your slightest command.”-Prof. E.M. Orlick
