What: Philosophy Discussion Group
When: 1st Saturday of each month, from 2pm – 5pm
(3 hours, including a break)
Where: Justin & Tammy's house in Richardson [*BYOD&S]
How: Readings discussed in-depth amongst the group. No tests, no lecture… we help teach each other in a spirit of learning.
We will usually be reading from a book one will have to purchase, but sometimes there will be articles provided online.
Meeting Topic & Reading List
This month we'll be talking about three understandings of how language acquisition works. In one corner we have linguistic nativists (represented by Steven Pinker), who think language acquisition is the unfolding of innate biological traits unique to our species. In the second corner we have empiricists (represented by Elman et al) who think language acquisition is a process by which baby scientists use general-purpose intelligence to rapidly internalize the linguistic structure that is present in their environments. And in the third corner, we have Terry Deacon's view, which for lack of a better name might be called symbiotic developmentalism. This view holds that languages are a close analog of species in their own right, and that the speed and robustness with which humans acquire language is largely a testament to the ways in which language has co-evolved to be user-friendly for humans by a process of rapid cultural evolution. You might notice that these three views on language acquisition conveniently match the three themes in our discussion of cognitive science: within-agent processing, agent-environment interaction, and agent-agent interaction.
* Pinker's chapter is here (login as philclub, password is the name of the street we'll be meeting on, single word all lowercase)
* The Deacon chapter is here.
* The Elman et al chapter is here. This was made available back when we were talking about connectionism. The most relevant parts for this month's discussion are the last third, page 88 on. This is probably the hardest and least important of the readings.
Meeting Format
10 minute introduction to the material
Depending on attendence, we may split into smaller groups (4 - 8 people)
2 part group discussion of readings with a 10 minute break in between
Reconvene into large group to share highlights of small group discussions
Readings are not neccessarily required, but we ask that you please stay on topic during the discussion.
We are teaching each other in a "spirit of learning": we should be humble (we do not know everything), eager to learn, and willing to challenge each other while being kind and considerate.
There will be people of various backgrounds in philosophy — you do not need to be an expert in philosophy to be in the group (e.g. I'm not; Justin is). If a topic is new to you, here are some good resources, if you are interested:
- Wikipedia
- Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
- Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
- The Oxford Companion to Philosophy
[*BYOD&S] "Bring Your Own Drink & Snack". You might get thirsty or hungry — feel free to bring whatever (non-alcoholic) drinks and snacks you'd like (preferably something shareable with the group).
— A note to those with cat-related allergies: Justin and Tammy have cats — one of whom will be rather happy to mingle with all the nice people who came to see him....
>^. . ^<
In a post on Common Sense Atheism, "How to Do Philosophy Better", Luke Muehlhauser summarizes an essay by Paul Graham. In that essay, Graham proposes the following:
Here's an intriguing possibility. Perhaps we should do what Aristotle meant to do, instead of what he did. The goal he announces in the Metaphysics seems one worth pursuing: to discover the most general truths. That sounds good. But instead of trying to discover them because they're useless, let's try to discover them because they're useful.
— Paul Graham, "How to Do Philosophy"
Given a lot of our common values, I think we can study philosophy in a way that helps us, that is useful to us, rather than as something that is considerably esoteric or futile.
What a great group and interesting, fun discussion! Thank you, too, for the warm welcome to us newbies! :-D
November 3, 2013
I just posted some info on the discussion board about the book I mentioned today that is a theory of consciousness. It's weird but it's an interesting theory...
November 2, 2013
I found a possible book. "Creation: How Science is Reinventing Life Itself' Adam Rutherford. It discusses 'what is life' and goes into engineering vel creatures.
October 23, 2013
I would like to get the previous readings done by this group. I am new to Philosophy and I think this would help me get caught up with other people.
October 28, 2013
I think I wouud prefer to go to something less engineering oriented. Like free will or Phil of religion. Or Meta'philosophy. I don't have a book to suggest though.

Adam is averaging 780.493 points per event over the past 24 months and 780.493 points per event over the past 12 months, for a generally unchanged trend.
Trends: Our trend feature compares an angler's average points from the prior 24 months to the average points from the prior 12 months to establish whether the angler's recent performance exceeds or falls behind that of a longer span. If the recent average is within 2.5% of the average for the longer period, we consider the angler's performance to be steady, as indicated by an almost equals to sign.

Chao Li
Chao Li is a hydroclimatology scientist at Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium. His research interests focus on the dynamics and impacts of weather and climate extremes. The topics that he is currently exploring include: 1) estimation of changes in short-duration precipitation extremes, 2) detection, attribution, and projection of weather and climate extremes, and 3) evaluation of how changes in weather and climate extremes affect natural and human systems.
Chao Li joined the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium in August 2016 after completing a post-doc at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University. He gained his PhD degree in Hydrology and Water Resources from Texas A&M University (2013), and MSc in Hydraulic Engineering from Tsinghua University, China (2009).

- During a James Bond parody episode of Dexter's Laboratory a mook at the photography company's secret lair uses a camera to shoot shuriken-photos at Dexter.
Truth In Television
- More reasonable than you may think. Older film cameras are liable because they tended to be made out of milled metals and other durable materials with a simple internal construction, while modern high-end cameras tend to have heavy-duty magnesium frames and are designed specifically so that you can drop them on rocks in the middle of an African safari and still expect them to work well enough. As for flashes, well, a professional off-camera flash is something you don't want going off in your face rapidly in the first place, and many modern flashes have enough capacitors to build several flashes' worth of charge per cycle. Plus, many photographers are liable to have two or more flashes on them if they have their kit. Basically, don't put a photographer in a corner, it could be painful.

Phuket Gazette - June 16, 2013 | 08:00 AM
PHUKET: A CHIANG MAI man was arrested by police after a video surfaced on YouTube of him driving around the northern city on a 1.2-million-baht superbike.
That might not sound criminal in itself. The issue of concern to the cops was that Chetaphon Chantarabunthawi, 25, was completely naked at the time.
Mr Chetaphon told reporters that he had made the video for a bet.
He was drinking with his gang, who call themselves "Rock Mode", at the Infinity bar in Chiang Mai's Niman Hemin area.
One of them challenged Mr Chetaphon: if he dared ride his Ducati superbike around the city completely naked, he would forgive him a 500-baht debt and pay him an extra 1,000 baht.
Mr Chetaphon agreed and his nude exploits on the rare superbike were filmed by his friends. The video, which they uploaded to Facebook, was shared widely on social media until it attracted the attention of the Chiang Mai Police.
In parts of the video Mr Chetaphon is seen standing up so that his manhood can be clearly seen.
The police decided Mr Chetaphon's behavior was "not appropriate" and promptly arrested him.
"I prostrate myself in apology to the people of Chiang Mai," said Mr Chethaphon. "I wasn't blind drunk, I'd just had a little bit of alcohol and took a challenge for fun."
"I stood up because it was painful," he said. "My penis was bumping against the bike's tank. I wasn't trying to show anyone [my penis] because it was already very dark [the night, not his penis Ed]."
Mr Chetaphon said the video had been uploaded onto the Rock Mode Facebook page by his friend Bom, who owned the bike. Bom had already returned to Macau, where he works in a casino, he said.
Maj Gen Chamnan Ruatreo, deputy commissioner of Region 5 Police, warned young people not to copy Rock Mode's antics because they weren't appropriate and went against the culture of the people of Chiang Mai.
Gen Chamnan said there were many such groups that forced members to take challenges like this to gain membership. One group asked members to roller skate naked on a mountain near Chiang Mai, he said.
Lt Col Kraisi Chunphak said Mr Chetaphon would be charged with public indecency and faced a sentence of one month in jail and/or a fine of 800 to 2,000 baht.

Things to do in Darwin & The Top End
The Top End is a magical place, when people make the effort to get to the Northern Territory they usually want to see as much as possible. A visit to Darwin usually means exploring Darwin and her surrounds, a trip to Litchfield National Park, Kakadu National Park, Katherine Gorge and perhaps Arnhem Land and Tiwi Islands. Some are day tours from Darwin and others deserve more time.
Darwin is a cosmopolitan city with great cafes and restaurants using their local produce and its many international influences. On the doorstep of Darwin you have a coast dotted with reefs and in the other direction the Outback, what a combination.
There are 2 distinct season in this area, the Green or Wet Season usually from November to March and the Dry Season (locals call it "The Build Up") which is April to October. Each season has its beauty. Some prefer to visit in the Green Season as the waterfalls are flowing, the skies are beautiful and everything looks green. If visiting at this time you have to be flexible with your tours and itineraries. At times area and roads may be closed. Early winter is a great time to visit, the humidity has tapered off and it is cooler but the falls will still be flowing. A lot of people visit the Top End between June and August, when the weather is more agreeable, so it plans to book early.
When visiting Darwin and the Top End please be sure to read the signs before swimming in any water. The caution and rules are there for a reason, to make sure no one is taken by a crocodile. It is tempting, a hot day and beautiful water but it is just not a possibility!
Remember, freshwater crocodiles won't eat you but saltwater crocodiles definitely will!
Where is it?
Public Transport
Darwin bus network services Darwin and the surrounding areas, with services running most days excluding Christmas Day and Good Friday, with special buses for the Mindil Sunset Markets, during the market season.

Paper tickets are either a single ticket which is valid for unlimited travel for three hours from purchase and a daily ticket for unlimited travel till the end of the day the ticket was purchased. The tap and ride card is similar to a credit card and needs to only be validated as you enter the bus and is valid for either the 10 ticket flexi fares or the weekly tickets.
Taxis are a convenient method for point to point travel in Darwin. Throughout Australia dialling 131 008, or in Darwin 13 TAXI (13 8294) will put you in touch with the nearest Taxi service. Taxis can also be pre-booked. It is recommended to obtain a quote for using Taxi's for long distance travel.
Car Rental
Darwin is serviced by many car rental companies, remember that there may be limited parking in the CBD and that peak hour congestion is common. (Vroom Vroom Vroom)
The NT Bus Tracker App gives you arrival and departure times at your bus stop and is a useful journey planner. (Bus Tracker)
Darwin Airport (DRW) is the Northern Territories busiest airport with a shared, but separated terminal for both International and Domestic travellers. The airport is located about 13 klm from the city centre. (http://www.darwinairport.com.au/)

Top 10 Things to Do in Darwin
Tiwi Islands
Discover Darwin
Darwin really started to develop back in the early 1870's when the Overland Telegraph Line was being built. They discovered alluvial gold and people caught the "gold rush fever".
Darwin is a diverse city, rich in indigenous culture and Asian influences due to the close proximity to Asia. The architectural feel of the city is a result of having been rebuilt twice, once after WW2 and then after Cyclone Tracey hit at Xmas in 1974.
Darwin is situated on Fanny Bay, a fabulous location for taking cruises to watch the famous sunsets that occur. Here is a question, what sea does Darwin sit on? The answer is Arafura Sea (it lies west of the Pacific Ocean between Australia and Indonesian New Guinea). I bet not a lot of Australians would know the answer!
There is so much to see and do in and around Darwin. Such places worthy of a visit are the Museum and Art Gallery of NT, Darwin Botanical Gardens, immerse yourself in World War 11 history at the East Point Military Museum, World War 11 oil storage tunnels (entry is on lower level Kitchener Drive), the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre, the Australian Pearling Exhibition and more. A walk around Darwin Warf Precinct is a must. Lots there to keep you busy.
OK, enough history, it is time to swim with the crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove in their "Cage of Death", or go on a cruise on Adelaide River to see the Jumping Crocodiles, visit Crocodylus Park & Zoo (wildlife research centre) or Darwin Wildlife Park at Berry Springs. This park also has other animals beside crocodiles!
There are many choices for a Darwin day tour to wonderful areas not too far from the city.
Mindil Beach Sunset Markets
The Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, located less than 3 kilometres from the city centre, operate on Thursdays (5-10pm) and Sundays (4-9pm) from the last Thursday in April to to the last Thursday in October.
Bring your tables, chairs, rugs, eskies or whatever you have and choose from 60 food stalls and 130 other stalls selling craft, fashion, pampering, tours and a whole lot more. You can eat a crocodile steak (only on Thursdays) or try some unique sushi with fillings such as kangaroo, crocodile, barramundi, and sweet potato!
Litchfield National Park
Litchfield is 100 km south-west of Darwin. It became a park in 1986. The park is generally accessible all year (sealed roads) via Batchelor, and plenty of guided tours to pick from. It is 1500 square kilometres of sandstone habitats and great waterfalls.
The locals consider Litchfield National Park to be literally on their door step. The area has its history written in its geology, Aboriginal History and European History. It is a truly fascinating park in every way.
It is a contained area and all the main sites are within 10 minutes from each other by car. It is versatile, you can walk, swim, admire the birdlife or sit under a tree, whatever it is that takes your fancy.
The main swimming holes in Litchfield National Park are Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole, Wangi Falls, Tolmer Falls, Walker Creek, Cascades, Tjaynera Falls and Surprise Creek Falls. There are numerous short walks you can take around these falls and the longer most challenging one being the 39 kilometer Tabletop Trek. If you have a 4WD there are plenty of tracks for you to have fun on.
Near the town of Batchelor you will see the Magnetic Termite Mounds. Once again another great example on how wonderful nature and her animals are. Their story is a fascinating one! These mounds were built facing on a north-south axis to protect the life within from the intense sun. These are amazing architectural feats as inside they have arches, tunnels, nursery chambers, insulation and chimneys! All built by armies of tiny termites. Many of the mounds are over 2 metres tall. How can anyone not be moved by nature?
Copper and tin were discovered in the area and the first tin mine was started in 1888 and ceased operation in 1951. Uranium was discovered in 1949 outside the eastern boundary and was mined until 1971.
Fogg Dam
Shhh……. It is a secret and the locals would love to keep it that way!
Fogg Dam is a man made dam (created in 1956 for the Humpty Doo Rice Project) but has a natural eco system. It is located 70 kilometres from Darwin and the conservation park is located on the Adelaide River. Fogg Dam is amazing due to the diversity of habitat and wildlife all located together. It has been described by a passionate local as a "madhouse of wildlife"!
The area attracts significant numbers of birds, reptiles, mammals and marsupials. It is believed to have the greatest predator biomass known in the world. Biomass is the amount of living matter as in a unit area or volume of habitat.
Fogg Dam has 230 species of birds and an international reputation amongst birdwatchers and biologists.
Once darkness falls the dam metamorphoses into a different world dominated by snakes and rodents. Lots of Dusky Rats, hunted by water and olive pythons can be seen easily at night. In the wet season you will find saltwater crocodiles, imagine seeing their big red eyes shining at night!
There is nothing better than sunrise at Fogg Dam. It starts about half an hour before sunrise, the chorus of birds begins, an unforgettable experience! There are tours which get you there early enough to witness it.
From Darwin to Kakadu (Jabiru) is 257 kilometres. Allow 3 hours for the drive. It is a big day tour from Darwin, however if that is all the time you can spare then it is well worth it, or you could take a guided tour and let someone else do the driving for you. Ideally a 2 or 3-night stay is the best way to see it.
The Wet Season or Green Season (I prefer this term) is from late November to March. If you are visiting Kakadu in the Green Season, if possible, take a scenic view over the park as the falls will be flowing and they are a magnificent sight. I have been there in the dry season and it is also well worth taking a flight as you get the feel of how enormous the area is. It is a great way to see the escarpment.
A few facts about Kakadu;
- Second largest national park in the world (after Yellowstone in the US)
- One of the few places in the world that is world heritage listed for both it's natural and cultural values.
- Has a third of Australia's bird species (around 280)
- 10,000 crocodiles call it home
- Almost 20,000 square kilometres (almost half the size of Switzerland)
- Kakadu's Rock Art- some as old as 20,000 years
- Home to 2,000 different plant types
Within Kakadu National Park
Yellow Waters
A cruise on Yellow Waters is a must for any visitor. You will learn about the flora and fauna as well as animals that live in the wetlands. The cruises run at different times of the day. For those lucky enough to be staying overnight you can also choose a sunset or sunrise cruise, both will reveal themselves and their secrets in the beautiful light. All the guides are accredited with Kakadu Knowledge and are often taught by indigenous people who have been handed down the stories by tribal elders.
Jim Jim Falls
Jim Jim Falls are located near the eastern boundary of the national park and 28 kilometres south of Jabiru. It is a plunge waterfall on the Jim Jim Creek that descends over the Arnhem Land Escarpment.
Twin Falls
Twin Falls are a further 10 kilometres on from Jim Jim Falls. The Twin Falls keep flowing longer the Jim Jim Falls do. Unfortunately, swimming is no longer permitted in Twin Falls Gorge so a boat trip is the way to experience them (only accessible in the Dry Season). This area is one of the most popular in Kakadu National Park.
Katherine Gorge
Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park,is located 30km from Katherine and is 2920 square kilometres in area. Katherine, the town, is a great base for those wanting to have more time in this area, or you could join an organised tour.
Katherine Gorge is a narrow gorge, formed over time by the Katherine River flowing through the sandstone plateau creating huge cliffs on either side. Thirteen gorges make up Katherine Gorge and in the Dry Season they are separated by rapids. Boats travel to the first gorge and then are run up onto land and the passengers walk around to the second gorge where another boat is waiting, this is repeated depending how far up you are going.
Leliyn (Edith Falls) is on the western side of the park around 60 kilometres from Katherine. Edith Falls is connected to Katherine Gorge via the 66-kilometre Jatbula walk. Swimming and hiking are the most popular things to do. Both upper and lower pools are excellent swimming spots.
Fresh water crocodiles are in most parts of the river and are harmless, however in the Green Season saltwater crocodiles regularly enter when the water levels are very high. They are later removed, so please obey any warning signs.
Tiwi Islands
Tiwi Islands are located 80 kilometres to the north of Darwin, so the best way to visit the Islands is as part or an organised group, although it is a big day travelling to and from the island from Darwin learning about the island from a locals perspective is an amazing experience.
The island group is made up of 2 islands, Melville and Bathurst, with the tours travelling only to Bathurst Island. The Tiwi people have occupied the islands since the last ice age. Around 11,000 years ago the islands broke away from the mainland making their language and culture unique due to their isolation.
You can read more about the Tiwi Islands by clicking on the 'More About Darwin' tab above or click here.
Arnhem Land
Arnhem Land is a vast wilderness area in the northeast corner of Australia's Northern Territory. The traditional landowners are the Yolngu people and permits are required to visit this area. If you are travelling as part of an organised tour the operator will look after the permit requirements for you.
If you are visiting Kakadu National Park, once you cross East Alligator River you are in Arnhem Land and you need permits.

Internet Pharmacies:
Federal Agencies and States Face Challenges Combating Rogue Sites, Particularly Those Abroad
GAO-13-560: Published: Jul 8, 2013. Publicly Released: Jul 8, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Rogue Internet pharmacies violate a variety of federal and state laws. Most operate from abroad, and many illegally ship prescription drugs into the United States that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), that is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs. Many also illegally sell prescription drugs without a prescription that meets federal and state requirements. Rogue sites also often violate other laws, including those related to fraud, money laundering, and intellectual property rights.
Rogue Internet pharmacies are often complex, global operations, and federal agencies face substantial challenges investigating and prosecuting those involved. According to federal agency officials, piecing together rogue Internet pharmacy operations can be difficult because they may be composed of thousands of related websites, and operators take steps to disguise their identities. Officials also face challenges investigating and prosecuting operators because they are often located abroad. The Department of Justice (DOJ) may not prosecute such cases due to competing priorities, the complexity of these operations, and challenges related to bringing charges under some federal laws.
Despite these challenges, federal and state agencies as well as stakeholders have taken actions to combat rogue Internet pharmacies. Federal agencies have conducted investigations that have led to convictions, fines, and asset seizures from rogue Internet pharmacies as well as from companies that provide services to them. FDA and other federal agencies have also collaborated with law enforcement agencies around the world to disrupt rogue Internet pharmacy operations. The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which are responsible for enforcing laws related to the importation of goods such as prescription drugs, have also worked with other agencies, including FDA, to interdict rogue Internet pharmacy shipments at the border. Given that most rogue Internet pharmacies operate from abroad, states have faced challenges combating them, and generally focus their oversight on licensed in-state entities that fulfill orders for rogue Internet pharmacies. Companies that provide services to Internet-based businesses, such as search engines and payment processors, have also taken action--primarily by blocking services to them.
FDA and others have taken steps to educate consumers about the dangers of buying prescription drugs from rogue Internet pharmacies. FDA recently launched a national campaign to raise public awareness about the risks of purchasing drugs online, and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) posts information on its website about how to safely purchase drugs online. However, rogue Internet pharmacies use sophisticated marketing methods to appear legitimate, making it hard for consumers to differentiate between legitimate and rogue sites.
HHS, DOJ, and DHS provided technical comments on a draft of this report, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Internet offers consumers a convenient method for purchasing drugs that is sometimes cheaper than buying from traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacies. According to a recent FDA survey, nearly 1 in 4 adult U.S. Internet consumers have purchased prescription drugs online. However, many Internet pharmacies are fraudulent enterprises that offer prescription drugs without a prescription and are not appropriately licensed. These rogue Internet pharmacies may sell drugs that are expired, improperly labeled, or are counterfeits of other drugs. A number of federal and state agencies share responsibility for administering and enforcing laws related to Internet pharmacies, including state boards of pharmacy, FDA, DOJ, CBP, and ICE.
The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act directed GAO to report on problems with Internet pharmacies. This report identifies (1) how rogue sites violate federal and state laws, (2) challenges federal agencies face in investigating and prosecuting operators, (3) efforts to combat rogue Internet pharmacies, and (4) efforts to educate consumers about the risks of purchasing prescription drugs online. To conduct this work, GAO interviewed officials from FDA, DOJ, CBP, ICE, and other federal agencies, reviewed federal laws and regulations, and examined agency data and documents. GAO also interviewed officials from five state boards of pharmacy with varied approaches to regulating Internet pharmacies, and stakeholders including NABP, drug manufacturers, and companies that provide services to Internet businesses, such as payment processors.

Loved their pancakes and for 2 breakfasts and 2 sodas for only 26 bzd... Pretty freaking sweet! Didn't have any awesome views of the ocean and was kinda off the beaten path, but worth the walk!
This restaurant seems primarily known to locals. We happened upon it by chance. Authentic Belizean breakfasts are available for very good prices. We enjoyed eggs, bacon, cheese wedge and Jack cakes, a local specialty.The fresh fruit smoothies were also delicious. All of the food was interesting and good, and the service was pleasant and friendly.On-site is a small grocery/variety store,... 更多
We came upon this place while we were exploring the island by foot. We were hungry and it was about to rain so we walked in. The place had outside seating and there really wasn't much to look at. Good vibe from the locals though. I noticed they had cow foot soup and decided it to give it a shot.... 更多
My husband and I visit LDP regularly for their excellent local menu items. Especially enjoy the daily lunch specials. Always happy when they offer Escabeche and Stewed Pig Tails.

La Divina Providencia is a local favorite and located south of town across from Hidden Treasure. The papusas and the chicken flautas are so good and the staff were very friendly. We were frequent visitors to LDP during our time on the island and will definitely be back!
Hubby said lets go find LDP today! It was Sunday, I had not planned our midday meal in advance, and was welcoming the idea of no kitchen duty! Are you SURE it is open, YES, I checked with TA. So we arrive at this eatery with a large shaded porch w fans, & beautiful residential view of the neighborhood. FOOD... 更多

A few minutes of Feldenkrais can give you the flexibility and postural benefits of hours of stretching exercises.

A few minutes of Feldenkrais can give you the flexibility and postural benefits of hours of stretching exercises.
— Anne Rosenthal, Ph.D.
The Feldenkrais Method is a powerful way to unlock the secrets of our bodies. It allows the linking of movement, expression, and spontaneity, as well as providing an approach to healing physical and neurological injuries
— James Oldham, M.D.
Functional Integration Sessions®
(Private Feldenkrais® Sessions.)
What are they?
Functional Integration sessions (also called Feldenkrais lessons) are the highly personalized, "hands-on" aspect of the Feldenkrais Method®. Engaging the brain to improve the body's comfort and function, each session is a unique, pleasurable experience, designed to address your particular needs and concerns.
How Can They Help Me?
Functional Integration sessions can help to reduce many types of back pain, knee or hip pain, shoulder or neck pain, jaw pain or headache, chronic tension, postural problems, neurological difficulties, and mobility issues.
By improving your body's neuromuscular and skeletal organization, Functional Integration sessions can help you to recover after an injury, regain lost function, and improve the way you use your body. You can also use them to enhance your physical performance, and increase your enjoyment of many athletic and performing arts activities.
Who are they for?
Functional Integration sessions are good for everyone. People of all ages, conditions, and levels of fitness can benefit. If you are experiencing an acute difficulty or wish to address a physical issue in a direct and effective way, we recommend that you have a series of Functional Integration sessions.
How do they work?
Feldenkrais treatments use gentle manual techniques to communicate information to your brain and nervous system. Because the information is valuable to your body, your brain pays attention and begins using it right away, improving your musculoskeletal organization, posture, and ability to move comfortably.
By interrupting our old habits of posture or movement, Feldenkrais sessions help to build new neural pathways, and new options for our posture, movement, and self-use become available.
What Are They Like?
It is easy and enjoyable to have a Functional Integration session. Although they are neurologically sophisticated—and valuable learning takes place in the client's brain and body during the treatment—the client can simply relax. No effort is required on their part.
The Feldenkrais practitioner moves parts of the client's body in a way that feels easy and secure. These techniques are not intended to develop the client's muscle-strength, or to stretch or adjust. The movements in a Feldenkrais session are information-rich and designed to communicate with the client's nervous system in a beneficial way.
Functional Integration sessions take place on a low, padded table. The client remains clothed. After having a session, people often report feeling relaxed and refreshed, more comfortable in their body, and "taller," "younger," and more physically able. Some improvements may be felt immediately, while others are felt later and in following days. To enjoy the greatest—and longest lasting—benefits, take ample time to notice the changes that have taken place in your body, and in the way you move, and use yourself. Your attention is part of the process.
Each Session is Different.
Because every person has their own physical history and habits of posture and movement, each Functional Integration session is highly customized; a "sensory-motor" learning experience designed specifically for you.
Our Practitioners:
All of the Practitioners at the Feldenkrais Institute of New York are accredited by the North American Feldenkrais Guild®. They are highly trained and experienced with a wide range of issues. Their work is sensitive, intelligent, and effective.
Our practitioners work closely and cooperatively with one another. They are mentored by David Zemach-Bersin (one of Dr. Feldenkrais's first American students) and Marek Wyszynski (an experienced Physical Therapist).
Functional Integration session rates vary, depending on the number of years each practitioner has been in practice.

Greetings! Finally, it's here, the conclusion to this series, before anything. This isn't a Mandness Day submission, because I don't want it to seem that I waited for that day to submit it, I just couldn't finish it due to various reasons too boring to list them here, still, it's done!
I want to thank everybody who has supported me in the making of this series, friends, VA's, music artists, Newgrounds itself and you, the viewer, hope you enjoyed this series as much as I did making it!
Don't forget to check the extra's for a little bit of extra animation!
Thanks again and sorry for the awful delay! (this thing was supposed to be submitted months ago). Enjoy!

Bravo! This series as a whole has been fantastic and all of you have done an amazing job at creating all this. Kudos to all of you!
However, why does Enid look a lot like Kary and bear her name? Is she some sort of "backup" of Kary that Xero found when he was destroying evidence and decided to raise her as a surrogate child?

Why not just use the Wine PPA. Far easier.....
'Ubuntu 12' also doesn't exist. It is Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #3 |
Whats Wine PPA? and how to use it?
man,i know its ubuntu12.04, i was bit lazy.... :)
Too hard?
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #5 |
I am new to linux...
Do you mean online installation?
Yes, you add the PPA then install the application easily using the first link in the results on that page
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #7 |
links not helping,unable to understood.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5
The guide shows how to do it using the GUI too
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #9 |
First 2 steps completed successfully....but for 3rd the output was :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package wine1.5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'wine1.5' has no installation candidate
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #11 |
Without using software center, how can i install it from the downloaded .tar file
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #12 |
now i m not on a fast connection....the file size is quite large
you will need to compile it which will require installing more packages, it will be quicker and more suitable to install the packages as given rather than mess around with compiling.
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #14 |
downloading in UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER or TERMINAL, are resumable or not?
no unfortunately. If you have a slow link then do it overnight
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #16 |
Thats what i am doing.... -_-
Asif ansari (asif-ansari4u) said : | #17 |
Output :
[sudo] password for asif:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
Do you have software centre open or updates running. If so then close it or let the updates fiish. If not then run:
sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/
Then retry

Alexander (Hercules)
this wiki
Alexander first appears in Disney's 1998 television series Hercules: The Animated Series as a nerdy kid who can't even tie his sandals but later becomes Hercules' trainee.
Hercules: The Series
Hercules and the Kids
Hercules volunteers to take the kindergarten kids of Prometheus Jr. Academy on a field trip. And he befriends a geeky kid named Alex who doesn't know how to tie his sandals and gets picked on by Brutus, a centaur bully kid. While Hercules is tending to the other kids, Brutus kicks Alex and he loses the map Hercules gave him to hold and they get lost. Meanwhile, two monsters, a giant spider and a giant dragonfly, are hunting for food and come across Herc and the kids. Hercules escapes with the kids and they hide for shelter in a small cave, and there Brutus starts to call Hercules names. Alex comforts Herc and says that he's a hero, then suggests that he and his classmates sing a song to cheer them up. Then Alex gets an idea on how to get home. On their way back, Callista, a spoiled bratty little girl, loses her Aphrodite doll somewhere and goes to look for it running into the monsters. Hercules comes to rescue her and gets injured but still manages to get her back to the others safely. As he begins to cross the bridge to where Alex and the others are he and the giant spider are too much weight, Hercules throws Callista and he falls with the spider. Herc's unconscious and the giant spider ties Hercules up in webs as the giant dragonfly goes for the kids. Alex comes up with a plan to save Hercules, it works and as the kids try to untie Hercules but the knots are too strong for them to untangle, Alex then uses a sharp piece of rock to free Hercules. After Herc fights the monsters he then thanks Alex for quick-thinking, and he is no longer Alexander the Geek but Alexander the Great. And in the future it is revealed that he is trained by Hercules to become a hero, and great as Alex becomes he never learns to tie his sandals.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve stunned the world and shocked the markets by announcing no change to its $85 billion large-scale asset purchase program.
This program, which is intended to stimulate the economy, has some skeptics worried about runaway inflation and currency destruction.
Albert Edwards, the long-time bearish strategist at Societe Generale, has a new note out in response to the Fed's announcement.
"I've read quite a lot overnight about the Fed backing off on its tapering of QE," wrote Edwards. "I think the excellent Gavyn Davies who writes in the FT nowadays had it spot on with his title "Never underestimate the Fed's dovishness". Personally I am incredulous. I can believe the arch dove Bernanke might have wanted to keep blowing his bubbles but I am amazed that he got the rest of the Fed, or at least the majority, on his side. I am also amazed because the Fed has spent weeks setting the markets up for a taper."
"Their word is apparently not their bond if bonds don't like their words!"
Citing the work of his former colleague Dylan Grice, Edwards speculates that Bernanke and the Fed are aware of the risks, but they've back themselves into a corner.
"They're printing money because they're scared of what might happen if they don't," added Edwards. "This very real political dilemma is what is missing from the simplistic understanding of inflation as always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. It's like theyre on a train which they know to be heading for a crash, but it is accelerating so rapidly theyre scared to jump off."
And that brings us to Germany's Weimar-era hyperinflation. From Edwards:
Incidentally, this is exactly the train Rudolf von Havenstein
found himself on as President of the Reichsbank during the German
hyperinflation. According to Liaquat Ahameds work on von
Havensteins dilemma, in his majestic book Lords of Finance'
were he to refuse to print the
money necessary to finance the deficit, he risked causing a sharp
rise in interest rates as the
government scrambled to borrow from every source. The mass
unemployment that would ensue, he believed, would bring on a
domestic economic and political crisis, which in Germanys [then]
fragile state might precipitate a real political convulsion.
Plus ça change!
Here's Edwards' not-so-subtle view of Bernanke.
Societe Generale, Albert Edwards

It's becoming more and more difficult to rationalize the decisions made by the far left progressive socialists of the Democrat party. They truly are committed to the "fundamental transformation" of America in a very literal sense. The rule of law means nothing to those dedicated to this damaging political ideology and agenda. And so it is that I cannot explain California's recent implementation of granting drivers licenses to those here in America illegally — truly a Pavlovian endeavor.
As reported by our friends at Townhall, "Under California's Safe and Responsible Drivers Act, illegal immigrants will be able to apply for drivers licenses this year. Before, a legal social security number was required for a license in California, but under the new law as many as 1.4 million illegal immigrants are expected to be granted licenses."
I find it unconscionable that the law is being changed to accommodate those who are here in violation of the law. And what do we say to those who came to America following the legal process and procedures to become a citizen as they sit back and watch this unfold?

- Fixed issue when shooting in the start / tut scene.
- Zoom the game screen can reduce the difficulty. When you can easy see your hitbox and enemy bullets it will be pretty much easier! If you play this game in fullscreen I'm sure it will be better!
- Direct contact with bosses doesn't hurt you!
9 bosses, 30 waves of bullet hell are waiting for you. Go and let your eyes dizzy!
Please leave your feedback to help me improve my game. Hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much!
"I managed to make the first boss, spell 2 like that. I tried to make a nice looking pattern but easy enough for first boss so... I make a pattern with many bullet but have safe spots, the task of player in this spell is to find those spots.
And for me the boss 1 first spell is easy, you just need to move close to the boss, when it shoot, it's make a big gap between it and bullets.
I wish that I could record a video clip of my playing to show the tactics to beat all bosses. There are some patterns seem hard but the tactics to pass them are easier than others. Example for the boss 6 first spell, you just need to relax then keep at the bottom of screen and move inside two lines of bullet. On this way you can pass the spell without losing any life!"
I have no clue why people are complaining about the controls, considering they're perfect for this Genre, which Seihou and Touhou have proved time and again.
Great work.
Looks fun, unfortunately not implementing useful controls for both qwerty and qwertz layouts kills the playability...
(Sorry for my English)
Because my bad english I misunderstood what you said. I'm sorry very much,
I'm going to fix this game with new control system that fit for both qwertz and qwerty keyboards!
