A few months ago, I wrote a little framework making easy to write a bot for Sametime using the Python language syntax instead of Java.
The framework has continue to grow up, and this new version is now more stable than the previous. Bots can now detect when the user close his chat window, and they can also receive files.
This framework can be very handy when you have to demonstrate Sametime in a different way that you used to do, and for those who were at TechSoftware 2011 (Bois-Colombes), it's the framework I used during my demo.
We currently have several bots running under PyBot on our Sametime 8.5.2 demo platform at the IBM Collaboration Solution Center (Montpellier) and some of them can have a "real" conversation, can tell you who is Romain Lienard (using IBM Connections Profiles Integration), what is the link for OTR -our internal travel reservation tool- using IBM Connections Bookmarks Integration, where is Bois-Colombes (using Google Maps integration), or convert a PPT file into an ODP file simply by sending your ppt file to the bot. I have even sent a tweet using a bot a few days ago !
If you want to have an idea of how I wrote the sample demo bot that you can see on top of this entry without download the zipfile, below is the sample demo script :
PyBot is available here for download.
Any question or suggestion are welcome !

"Mama, can I touch the dead squirrel?" asked my four-year-old, Lil' K.
Finding a dead squirrel in one's tomato patch seems rather innocuous, particularly when one owns a ferocious crackhead beagle. In this case, the dog had nothing to do with the squirrel's untimely end—she's too bent on eating the air conditioning man. This particular rodent and his friends died because they didn't take the hint and get the hell out of our tomato patch.
Mr. Jenn takes great pride his garden and in the neighboring wildlife. He always yelled at the dog for digging around his veggie plants and chasing critters. When deer began to nosh on our turnip greens earlier, Crackhead napped on the porch.
"Damn useless dog," Mr. Jenn, Lord of Mixed Messages, muttered.
He then enlisted Lil' K.'s help in constructing a scarecrow. The deer moved on.
When the squirrels discovered the ripening tomatoes on the thirty-three vines Mr. Jenn planted, he tried peeing on the scarecrow in hopes that the scent would scare them away.
Later, we found a green tomato with a squirrel-sized bite in it. I looked up into a nearby tree and discovered several more tomatoes sitting on a squirrel feeder Mr. Jenn constructed last winter. My dear husband, who apparently fancied himself Walt-Freaking-Disney or something, had to take action quickly or he was going to lose the several pints of salsa and quarts of tomato juice that I preserve each summer.
He tried putting a fake owl beside the scarecrow. The following day, we found chewed-up tomatoes under the owl.
Shots startled me at the buttcrack of dawn the next morning. My husband had disappeared, so I crept to the garden, making sure the Mayans hadn't confused their dates. I found Mr. Jenn in his underwear, aiming his .22.
"The little bastards should have left when I asked nicely," he whispered.
POW! A squirrel and a tomato fell out of the tree. Apparently, Walt-Freakin'-Disney no longer wanted squirrels in this" small world!"

Mothers in Prison. Children in Crisis.
Women are now the fastest growing segment of the prison population. Eighty percent of women in prison are mothers. Seventy-five percent are mothers of minor children and studies show that these children are 5 to 6 times more likely to be imprisoned in their futures.
At a time when tougher prison sentences are being handed down and more children are being affected by a parent's incarceration, AETN presents a documentary that looks at the social, economic, political, and emotional costs.
AETN producers interviewed mothers in prison, children, caregivers, child welfare experts and prison authorities in an attempt to illustrate how a mother's incarceration affects her children.
Production Partners
Funding for the "Mothers in Prison: Children in Crisis" documentary was provided in part by The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, as part of it's emphasis on economic, racial and social justice.
In 1974, the Trustees of Governor Winthrop Rockefeller's estate endowed The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation to continue the work of The Rockwin Fund. Governor Rockefeller set up The Rockwin Fund in 1954 and, on an annual basis from 1956 until his death in 1973, funded projects and programs he believed were important to improving the quality of life in Arkansas. The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation is a private, nonprofit foundation whose mission is to improve the lives of Arkansans by funding programs and projects that improve education; economic development; and economic, racial and social justice. During the past 28 years, the Foundation has awarded over $62 million in grants. To learn more about The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, click here (www.wrfoundation.org).
This program would not have been possible without the assistance of Centers for Youth and Families.
Centers for Youth and Families is a private, not-for-profit behavioral healthcare organization that provides specialized prevention and intervention services to help the emotional and social well-being of children and families. The Centers has provided services to mothers in prison, their children, and the caregivers since 1991. One of the services operated by the Centers is Family Matters. The Family Matters program provides services, support, and advocacy for children while a mother is incarcerated in our state prison system. Some of the other services offered by The Parent Center at the Centers for Youth and Families include parenting classes for mothers and fathers in our state's prisons, mother-child visitations for mothers in prison at the McPherson Unit who attend the Parenting from Prison classes, and kinship support groups for caregivers.

If I multiclass a Magus and a Sorcerer in Pathfinder, how do my casting mechanics end up? Do I get a certain amount of slots that I must prepare in advance in addition to a few I can improvise with, or do they all become either prepared or improvised? Do my spell lists stay separate for the different slots, or can they cross over between caster lists?

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You retain the casting mechanics of both classes separately.
If you were a multiclassed 4th-level character, for example, a Magus 2/Sorcerer 2, you would have all the class abilities of the level you reached in each class, for instance a 2nd-level Magus and a 2nd-level Sorcerer. Their spell lists do not mix; you will have to prepare your Magus spells as if a 2nd-level Magus, and your known Sorcerer spells, numbering as many as a 2nd-level Sorcerer would know, can only be cast from the slots that a 2nd-level Sorcerer would have, and would suffer arcane spell failure chance appropriate for the armor you wear.

Windows 7 Beta automatic shutdowns starts today
Windows 7 Beta automatic shutdowns starts today
If you are still using the Windows 7 beta version on your PC/Laptop than we will like you to remember that the Windows 7 beta trial version has expired today and from now onward you will be alerted to install a released version of Windows (Windows 7 RC )and your PC will shut down automatically every 2 hours. On August 1st, 2009 if you are still on the Windows 7 Beta your license for the Windows 7 Beta will expire and the non-genuine experience is triggered where your wallpaper is removed and "This copy of Windows is not genuine" will be displayed in the lower right corner above the taskbar.
It is good to see reasonable beta terms from Microsoft. This time, they have not only succeeded in a good comeback after sluggish Vista, but have also made people try out their product without cracking it.
Yet another superb marketing strategy from Microsoft.
Keep it up, Ballmer!

Party Time in Napa Valley: Harvest Celebrations and Grape Stomps
It's harvest in the wine country and for a winemaker that means it's time to start picking grapes (determined primarily based on the sugar content, measured in Brix) but for the rest of is it's all about picking the right harvest parties to attend. Most wineries have at least one harvest party, starting as early as September and running through November, which range from grape stomps to black tie formals. These are almost always the best parties of the year and usually require reservations. Here are some of our top recommendations this year:
Napa Weekend Getaway: Where to Stay
There may not be as many places to stay in Napa Valley as there are in San Francisco, but I'd wager my weight in wine that they are just as diverse. From exclusive resorts to motels out of horror movies, we've got it all and plenty to choose from. Some of the most elegant and exclusive resorts in Napa Valley can be found on our list of the best spas and most romantic things to do and here are more favorites from North to South (upvalley-downvalley, as we say):
Why Some Wines Give You Hangovers
Ever wonder why you can spend a whole evening drinking wine and wake up feeling fine, or drink just a glass or two and wake up with a pounding headache? The anti-hangover rallying cry is typically "avoid cheap wine," but when your next-day happiness is in question, it's good to have an arsenal of more specific tactics. So we turned to Jordan Kivelstadt (winemaker at Qualia Wines and founder of Silvertap Wines), Keith Emerson (winemaker at Vineyard 29), Ignacio Delgadillo (winemaker at Delgadillo Cellars), Kale Anderson (winemaker at Cliff Lede Vineyards) and Kent Jarman (winemaker at Joseph Kent Wines) to get some answers. We found that while wine hangovers are not an exact science, the level of pain in the morning is directly related to these things: Alcohol level, yeasts, oak flavor, tannins, additives, congeners and sulfites.

We're looking for health programs whose efforts go beyond the traditional definitions of "community benefit" and "free care" to both identify and satisfy tangible community health needs. Educational services, health screenings, support groups, and medical mission work are just a few of the possible community-based services that have participated in this Awards program. Learn how other hospitals have contributed to the communities they serve, and tell us how your organization is making a difference by nominating a community health program and sharing its story.

Social Security heading for insolvency even faster
WASHINGTON Social Security is rushing even faster toward insolvency, driven by retiring baby boomers, a weak economy and politicians' reluctance to take painful action to fix the huge retirement and disability program.
The trust funds that support Social Security will run dry in 2033 - three years earlier than previously projected - the government said Monday.
There was no change in the year that Medicare's hospital insurance fund is projected to run out of money. It's still 2024. The program's trustees, however, said the pace of Medicare spending continues to accelerate. Congress enacted a 2 percent cut for Medicare last year, and that is the main reason the trust fund exhaustion date did not advance.
The trustees who oversee both programs say high energy prices are suppressing workers' wages, a trend they see continuing. They also expect people to work fewer hours than previously projected, even after the economy recovers. Both trends would lead to lower payroll tax receipts, which support both programs.
Unless Congress acts - and forcefully - payments to millions of Americans could be cut.
If the Social Security and Medicare funds ever become exhausted, the nation's two biggest benefit programs would collect only enough money in payroll taxes to pay partial benefits. Social Security could cover about 75 percent of benefits, the trustees said in their annual report. Medicare's giant hospital fund could pay 87 percent of costs.
"Lawmakers should not delay addressing the long-run financial challenges facing Social Security and Medicare," the trustees wrote. "If they take action sooner rather than later, more options and more time will be available to phase in changes so that the public has adequate time to prepare."
The trustees project that Social Security benefits will increase next year, though the increase could be small. They project a cost-of-living-adjustment, or COLA, of 1.8 percent for 2013; the actual amount won't be known until October.
Beneficiaries got a 3.6 percent increase this year, the first after two years without one.
More than 56 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children receive Social Security. The average retirement benefit is $1,232 a month; the average monthly benefit for disabled workers is $1,111.
About 50 million people are covered by Medicare, the medical insurance program for older Americans.
America's aging population - increased by millions of retiring baby boomers - is straining both Social Security and Medicare. Potential options to reduce Social Security costs include raising the full retirement age, which already is being gradually increased to 67, reducing annual benefit increases and limiting benefits for wealthier Americans.
Policymakers could also increase the amount of wages that are subject to Social Security taxes. Social Security is financed by a 6.2 percent tax on the first $110,100 in workers' wages. It is paid by both employers and workers. Congress temporarily reduced the tax on workers to 4.2 percent for 2011 and 2012, though the program's finances are being made whole through increased government borrowing.
The Medicare tax rate is 1.45 percent on all wages, paid by both employees and workers.
Social Security is split into two funds - one for retirement and survivor benefits and one for disability. The retirement fund is projected to run out of money in 2035 while the disability fund is projected to run dry in 2016. Combined, the two funds will last until 2033.
In the absence of a long-term solution, the trustees who oversee Social Security are urging Congress to shore up the disability system by reallocating money from the retirement program, just as lawmakers did in 1994.
Social Security's trust funds contain a total of $2.7 trillion. The money is invested in U.S. Treasury bonds. The government has used the cash to pay for other programs.

PEORIA, Ariz. – Willie Bloomquist isn't a player who gets introduced at a news conference. He doesn't have Jay Z rapping about him or trying to be his agent. He can't even return home — as a much-improved player, mind you — without some Mariners fans mocking the move.
Such is the thankless life of the utility baseball player, a role that is always needed but rarely beloved.
Here's the perfect explanation of the job: To be a successful utility player, you need to aspire to be something greater. It's more like a soft landing than a desired occupation. No one grows up wanting to play every third day, at a to-be-determined position, knowing that you'll never get into a rhythm or have enough repetitions to be your absolute best.
But there's an art, or at least a mentality, to succeeding as a utility player. Bloomquist has learned to make the most of it. At age 36, he returns this season to the Mariners, the organization that drafted the local kid from Port Orchard in the third round of the 1999 draft.

Five years ago, he left the only franchise he had known, seeking to prove he could handle more responsibility. And he did just that. Then the Mariners made him their first free-agent acquisition of this past offseason, signing him to a two-year, $5.8 million contract.
It was a solid move, especially for a team still full of young players. The Mariners need better bench production. They need veterans who can handle a fairly significant number of at-bats to protect their young players and put the entire team in a better position to succeed. And for a lefty-dominant lineup, it helps to have right-handed bats in reserve when a left-handed pitcher is on the mound. Bloomquist is a career .283 hitter against lefties with a .716 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.
At this point in his career, he understands who he is, but he doesn't accept it. That's the biggest key to being an effective utility player, he says.
"I strive to be an everyday guy," says Bloomquist, who has had batting averages of .302 and .317 the past two seasons. "And I think, once you lose that edge to want to be an everyday guy, you're not going to be as good of a utility guy. There's a difference between accepting it and not striving to be better and accepting it and aspiring to do better things. I think there's a right way to accept it and a wrong way to accept it."
Bloomquist left the Mariners after the 2008 season, a difficult year in which the Mariners lost 101 games. He had to go. He was tired of being perceived as a player who could only handle about 200 plate appearances, with few opportunities to show he could do more. He went to Kansas City, where he played a career-high 125 games his first season, then Cincinnati, then Arizona.
With the Diamondbacks, he experienced his only taste of the postseason in 2011, and he had a significant role on that team. He started at shortstop after Stephen Drew broke his right ankle in late July. It was a tough position for him to handle defensively, but Bloomquist hit .273 when playing shortstop that season, and his average rose to .318 in five playoff games.
Over the past five seasons, Bloomquist has shown he's better than how he was viewed during his first Mariners stint. He was criticized for not being able to drive the ball and for being impatient at the plate and for not being exceptional at any of the positions he plays (second base, shortstop, third base, outfield). We're not saying he's Ben Zobrist now, but there's value in his skill set. And he's thrilled the Mariners recognize that.
"He fits the mold pretty good," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He's a very valuable guy."
Bloomquist works hard to be decent at various positions. He once carried around five different gloves for wherever he might play. These days, he just has one glove for the infield and one for the outfield. During morning workouts, he does the infield drills and then drifts to the outfield during batting practice. He has a routine, and he works to get better at every position.
Bloomquist says he's a better utility player because he has learned to embrace the awkwardness of the job.
"You have to learn to play uncomfortable all the time and just understand that you're never going to really feel great," he says. "You're never really going to feel like you're on top of your game at any one position, but that just comes along with the territory. It doesn't mean that you're not good at one spot. It means that because you don't get to play there consistently.
"And along with that comes an offensive approach that it's not as if you're playing every day and have your everyday swing. You're just missing a pitch, just fouling it back. It's not because your swing's not there. It's just because your timing is just a tick off because you haven't played in four or five days. Stay within yourself a little bit more. Don't do the things you would try to do if you were playing every day. Play simple. And that's helped me."
That has brought him back to the Mariners, perhaps to finish his career. This time, he's certain to get more out of a thankless job.

"The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts"

You might be asking yourself, "Why did I even bother to click on this page?" After all, "It's a 'no-brainer.' Practically every school kid has heard of the statement...'The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts'...and they could all probably very easily tell you what it means."
Most People Fail When Trying To Change A 'Part' Of Their Body Because They Do Not Realize That To Effectively Change The'Part' They Must Change Their Body As A 'Whole.'
'Parts' Have Functions...So, The Function Of The 'Whole' Results From The Combination Of The Functions Of The 'Parts.'
Everything In The Universe Is, At One Level Or Another, Nothing But A 'Part' Of A 'Whole,' While At Another Level It Is Also A 'Whole' Composed Of 'Part.'
The 'Whole Being Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts' Works Differently For Humans Than It Does For Non-Living Things!
So, How Did I Transform My Body By Tapping Into 'The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts'?
It All Sounds So Complicated, But It's Not!
Okay. So exactly what is this 'difference' between living organisms and inanimate objects, the 'difference' which will help us change our bodies?
The process of adaption to the surroundings of a given tissue or 'part' of the 'whole' is responsible for the adaptability and creation of life itself!
By tapping into this adaptive ability of living tissues you have amazing control over the processes of life itself, heretofore never thought to be under our voluntary control!
...Yes, I can say this rather confidently, especially because if people did understand the statement's full and complete meaning and the ramifications of all this, those people would already have had a huge start in having been able able to make the kind of transformation I made. And few people, I would venture to say, have been able to do so, to make such a change, let alone maintain it with a 'youthfulness' well into old age.
Let me explain...
The common understanding is that when you're referring to the 'whole' of something, like a car, it automatically encompasses the idea that the 'whole,' the car, is composed of 'parts.' In other words, a bunch of 'parts' working together is what makes up the 'whole.'Okay, fine. Another way of saying this is that the 'whole' car is a combination of many 'parts,' with things like the carbeurator, the fuel pump, the steering wheel, the seats, the motor, and so on being the 'parts' which work or function or interrelate together to make up the car which you drive in. You cannot take a drive somewhere with just one or a few 'parts' of the car, but you can drive somewhere in the 'whole' car. Okay...on the surface, simple enough.
But I can tell you this, that 'the whole being the sum of its parts' is one of the most profound of concepts describing how the universe works at all levels of organization. And what I mean by 'organization' is that 'parts' are combined and organized together to form what I would refer to as 'an organized whole.'
In other words, everything in the universe is, at one level or another, nothing but a 'part' of a 'whole,' while at the same time at another level it is also a 'whole' composed of its own multiple 'parts.'
The interesting and actually most amazing thing about all this,
and one of the main 'keys' to total body transformation and which few people or scientists or whatever have thought about or realize, is that...
...These Organized Systems Work Differently Whether We're Referring To Inanimate, Non-Living Aspects Of The Universe Or To Living Organisms Which Are Made Up, Of Course, Of living Tissue!
...In other words, 'the whole being the sum of its parts' works differently for living as opposed to non-living aspects of the universe. And knowing and understanding and then applying this difference is one of the main 'keys' to being able to undergo total body transformation and being able to maintain one's body 'youthfully' into older age!!
Remember, the human body is composed of tens of thousands and millions upon millions of organized systems functioning at different levels. For example, various kinds of living tissues which are in turn composed of different kinds of cells, combine together to form organs like that of bones, muscles, the liver, the kidneys, and the heart or lungs, while at the same time, at a higher level of organization, the various organ systems like that of the skeletal or muscular or cardiovascular or respiratory systems combine together to form entire organisms, like that of the human being.
So again, the only way possible to dramatically and effectively have control over living tissue so as to make dramatic change, such as total body transformation or the like, is to understand how this process works with living tissues at different levels and how this process differers from that of inanimate aspects of ouruniverse.
Dr. Alterwein Engaged In Mind/Body Techniques Of The 'Whole' Body To Change Various 'Parts' Of The Body!
Photo, Courtesy Of The Video DocuDrama, "Total Body Transformation," By Roy A. Alterwein, M.D.
For example, if I want to change my bones to prevent demineralizatioin or the onset of osteoporosis, I might do a certain type of exercise or exercises or motions with the goal in mind to change certain bones for the better, but unless I work on the skeletal system commensurate with the way it works and functions with all the other parts and systems of the body (such as that of the muscular system or cardiovascular system or nervous or respiratory systems), I will not be able to effectively change the skeletal system as nature intended it genetically to be changed, so as to function in a coordinated and reciprocal manner with all the other tissues of the body, with some tissues more so than others.
...Therein accounts for why I have been able to make such dramatic change and maintain my body in a youthful state longer than the average person. When I work out or work on a particular part of my body, I do so only in relation to how that particular part interrelates with all the other parts of my body.
This, I agree, seems to be a tall order, especially when the body and its millions upon billions of interrelated parts are so complex.
Simple.I figured out how to tap into 'nature' and how to let 'nature' do all the work...automatically, by simulating eons of genetic inheritance and evolutionary change! If I make the right moves, or motions, or lift a weight (or do a biceps curl or chest press...) in the particular way or ways nature intended it to be done--under the directives of our genes and in accordance to how those motions interrelate with all other aspects and systems of our body (such as the contraction of my muscles working along with my heart and lungs and vascular systems)...well, only then will my body most effectively and efficiently be transformed!
In other words, it simply became a matter of my learning how to simulate ancient's man's evolutionarily directed and genetically controlled motions. And there is no getting around this. After all, throughout millions upon millions of years these motions have been embedded within our genes!
Again, I know all of this sounds somewhat complicated, but it's not. When you first hear something different from the way you have been used to looking at things, at first it appears difficult to understand let alone do. But with further acquaintance and explanation as to the ideas being presented, the ideas, however new or different, will beome more familiar and easier to understand, especially as you go from page to page in this web site and realize, even further, how the different pages interrelate one with the other (just like the tissues of the human body interrelate).
In other words, as with living tissue, as you gain the knowledge of the different pages, you will see how they relate together to create a new 'whole,' which will open up a whole new way of looking at your bodies and minds and how they interrelate with and within the universe. As the pages come together in your mind...you will begin to see things a 'whole' new way, a way you'd likely never dreamed possible!
So, okay now, so what is this 'difference' we've been talking about between living organisms and inanimate objects, the 'difference' which will help us change our bodies?...
Imagine on one hand an auto made up of only ten parts as representative of the inanimate aspect of the universe. And then, on the other hand, also imagine a living organism made up of ten parts of living tissue.
First, let's take the auto. Each part, as I said, has a function. And to make things simple, let's give each part's function a value of 'one.' Thus, when all parts are combined, so too would all functions be combined together to create a new function. It would seem, however, that we would want to add the value of each function together. Ten functions, each with a value of one, would therefore give a total value of ten.
But if the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, one would think the total to somehowbe more than the sum of its parts, or more than ten. This would be like adding ten 'ones' together, and instead of getting ten, you would get eleven or twelve or more, well beyond the logical addition of mathematics.
This evidently is the way inanimate aspects or organized non-living systems within the universe work, and the way the car works. In a sense, each part of a car has a certain level of functioning, but when combined together, the overall functioning of the car becomes amazing in comparison to the level of functioning of each of the parts!
But now, how about living tissue? How does this all differ with living tissue? In this case, each of the ten parts still having been given a value of one, when added together do not mathematically equal ten. But then again, nor do they add up to eleven or twelve, or even fifteen as with non-living objects. Actually, because of the 'difference' from inanimate objects, their addition is almost like an exsplosion of energy, almost like an atomic bomb...wherein a small amount of matter explodes into an inordinately large amount of energy!
...And so too it is with living tissue. The creation of life at each higher level of functioning is like an explosion of the process of addition. Ten 'ones' add up to let's say a thousand or even a million. The function we call living, or life, is beyond amazing, beyond miraculous.
So you ask, why? Why do 'parts' adding up to make 'wholes,' do so so differently?
I said the 'difference' would be simple, and you should now be beginning to understand it. In other words, in a nutshell, the way it works, living tissue has the ability to adapt or change its physical structure. and in turn its level or quality of functioning.
So, as opposed to the 'parts' of a car which still function pretty much the way they did when apart, with living tissue-- depending upon the tissues being brought together, and how they are brought together and under what conditions they are brought together--the living tissues themselves, as 'parts' of the 'whole' organism, become changed both in structure and in function.
In other words, the tissues change or adapt to the presence of all the other tissues.
At a very simple level, this 'adaptability' of living tissues accounts for how our body adapts to different environments, and even to how a simple cut can heal.
It is the process of adaption to the surroundings of a given tissue or 'part' of the 'whole' organism that is so amazing and magical, and is what is responsible for the adaptability and creation of life itself!
In short, inanimate 'parts' of 'whole' objects remain the same, both structurally (physically) and functionally, when combined together.
However, the living tissue 'parts' of which living organisms are composed...these 'parts' change continuously in both structure and function as they are brought together, and do so depending upon the circumstances under which they have been brought together, a variety of circumstances which can number in the tens of thousands!
So, no wonder when I work on a given muscle or part of my body, I realize that as it changes, it changes all other parts of my body. And as those other 'parts' change, they in turn likewise change all other parts of the body...and on and on and on...the changing of all parts by parts, endlessly!
By tapping into this adaptive ability of living tissues you have amazing control over the processes of life itself, heretofore never thought to be under our voluntary control!
My transformation and maintenance of a youthful appearance is only the tip the iceberg when it comes to the control we can have over our bodies.
To me, my transformation was just the beginning of a whole new world of understanding of how living tissue can be adapted and change. We see evidence of such adaptability over and over again, but few of us have realized the widesperad and amazing significance of how vast its effects and in turn its rewards can be!
Normally we think of changing muscles by exercising, and somewhat we think of being able to prevent the demineralization of bone
...but with these principles which I've discovered and been trying to figure out, we'd be able--to one degree or another--to change muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage...as well as the function and structure of the heart and cardiovascular system, and the blood vessels throughout the body...and the lungs, boths structurally and functionally...
...and various other organs and tissues throughout the body from the liver, and the kidneys, to the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system...improving and bringing back that which had been deteriortating with age such as balance, coordination, reaction time, proper postures of the body...
...and of course this is not to forget changes structurally, chemically and neurologically, and functionally within the brain, and actually within the mind...'feelings' of well being, positivity, self assurance, relief and management of stress, anxiety, and depression...
...and the ability to sense internal 'feelings' within the body, which in turn help to change the body...
...and of course, let's not forget the skin...
...and so on, and on and on...
...the mind changing the body, and in turn the body changing the mind, in a reciprocal and symbiotic relationship, one helping and enhancing the other. After all, like I pointed out in "Who Is Dr. Alterwein," the mind and the body are really 'one.'
So now you know. This is just what I have been doing...and how I've been changing my body and my mind...the added strength of mind giving me added ability to change my body...and with relatively great results so far! And now I'd like to be able to try to teach these principles to you...
...That's what this web site is all about!

Neat that they have gf options but this place is not for celiacs. We came here and sat down after a 30min wait only to be told they don't separate gf and regular whatsoever. We left and went somewhere else.
The food was fantastic and the service was timely. The staff was very attentive to my gf needs, but the menu does say that cross contamination is possible, which always worries me.
Jelly's food was delicious, but their service was pretty terrible. My wife and I spent about an hour waiting for a table (it happens), so when we were seated we expected to be taken care of by an attentive staff. Instead, we were seated, waited 20 minutes to place our orders, then waited another 45 to actually get our food.....and our waitress didn't get our orders right! That being said, their food was outstanding but if you're on a timetable, go elsewhere. Patience is needed to dine here.
the food was delicious - lots of options, and the donut holes were scrumptious! the service was very poor, especially on a Sunday morning: 45 minutes for a table, 20 minutes to get plain coffee, and another 30 before the food arrived, with no refills or check-ins between.
Share the donut bites, dense but delicious! Gf toast can be subbed for 50c
Delicious food, a lot of which is inherently non-gluten. I had one of the hashes with some scrambled eggs and GF toast. Also had options for GF pancakes and even GF donut bites! Next time we go we'll be sure to eat the bites there instead of to-go though. Turned into a jelly/custard mess in the box.
The GF donuts are a bit dense, but still delicious. The Benedict's are great, just sub some GF toast. GF pancakes are just OK.
Not safe for Celiacs. I have not eaten here. I emailed & the response was that the GF menu was for those "who want to limit their gluten intake" and that it was not safe for those on a medically necessary GF diet. They do nothing to prevent cross contamination. Go to Snooze. Tell them you're Celiac & they will be careful.
Amazing gluten-free donut bites (I got lemon, jelly, cinnamon, and cream and they were all delicious!) I also had scrambled eggs with gluten-free toast that was wonderful. Great service and cute, laidback atmosphere. I highly recommend for breakfast!
Great food and wonderful people that help

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A second Police officer was shot and saved by his bullet-proof vest during the Navy Yard shootings, according to DC Police spokesperson Gwendolyn Crump.
It is not known who the police officer is at this time.
On Sept. 16, Navy contractor Aaron Alexis, 34, assembled a shotgun in a men's room and killed 12 people before he was fatally shot in a gunfight with law enforcement at the Washington Navy Yard.
A total of eight people were injured.

Anyone else addicted to IT on XM? For those of you that are not farmiliar with IT, it is the history of music starting in the 40s. They play every song that ever charted back to back to back with no interruptons.
They just crossed into the 80s. It is really cool to hear all these songs you have not heard in 30 years.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Sounds like an entertaining channel. Wonder if Sirius has anything like that? Whatever happened to the merger? Shouldn't that be going through soon?
That one does sound cool. Anyone know if Sirius has anything like that? Other than Hits 1?
They just said it is on hour 484...Right now it is on Feb 1980.
You can tune it on DirecTV ch 805.
Well it was all good, until they just put on Barry Manilow.
Wow, the beginning of he 80s had some really crappy songs.

IT isn't just on one channel if I'm not mistaken and if it's doing the 80s right now it's most likely on XM 8.

Restoration of the Bodie Island Lighthouse is ending for the year because of a lack of funding.
Superintendent Mike Murray says the contractor will begin demobilization of the interior and exterior scaffolding this week and it must be completed by April 7, 2011.
The National Park Service has placed the project in its fiscal year 2012 line item construction funding request.
Work on the famed lighthouse on the Outer Banks will resume when funding is appropriated.

CLEVELAND — Avery Bradley made a corner jumper at the horn to give the Boston Celtics a stunning 104-103 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.
Bradley's shot from just in front of Boston's bench dropped through as the final second ticked off the clock, giving the Celtics their eighth win in nine games.
Boston trailed by five with 18 seconds left before Celtics forward Jae Crowder made a 3-pointer — his only basket — and Evan Turner scored on a layup while being fouled by J.R. Smith with 4 seconds to go. Turner missed his free throw but the ball went out of bounds off Cleveland's LeBron James.
Boston coach Brad Steven drew up an inbounds play...

Some 260 North Carolina voters in 56 counties have thus far received free voter IDs from the DMV.
Under a law passed last year by the N.C. General Assembly, voters will need to show a photo ID when casting a ballot beginning in 2016. While that requirement doesn't begin for two more years, voters who do not have valid identification can already receive one at no cost from a DMV office.
Here is a quick look at who has received a free ID from Jan. 1 through Mar. 20:
According to data from the State Board of Elections, 55 percent of voter ID recipients thus far have been Democrats, followed by independent voters at 31 percent, Republicans at 12 percent and Libertarians at 2 percent.
The vast majority of ID recipients – 87 percent – have also taken the opportunity to register to vote when requesting identification, compared to 12 percent that were already registered.
Men outpace women in requesting free IDs, 60-40 percent. African-American voters make up 62 percent of those who have received an ID, with white voters comprising 35 percent.
Voters 46-65 have been more likely to request a free ID than other age groups, at 40 percent, followed by voters age 18-29 at 34 percent.
Guildford County has had the largest share of voters receiving free IDs at 13 percent, with Mecklenburg and Forsyth counties at 9 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
While North Carolinians will not be required to show a photo ID until 2016, this year poll workers will inform voters of the upcoming requirement, which might spur an increase in requests for free ID cards from the DMV.

Even as imported reactor-based atomic power projects are facing tardy progress, domestic nuclear sector firms are cashing in big-time on the demand for specialised nuclear services globally.
The Heavy Water Board (HWB) has bagged a big export order for supplying 11,000 kg high purity heavy water from the US-based Linde Electronics and Speciality Gases, which is to use the compound as raw material in the manufacture of deuterated products.
The Board is also close to wrapping up another export deal for supply of 15,000 kg heavy water to South Koreas KHNP a subsidiary of the Korea Electric Power Corporation that operates large nuclear and hydroelectric plants for use in its 700 MWe (mega watt electric) Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), government officials said.
Apart from these two big orders, research institutions from France and the UK too have approached the HWB for supply of heavy water for non-nuclear applications, officials said. Heavy water is a sensitive ingredient used mainly as a moderator and coolant in nuclear power stations as well as research reactors. It contains a higher proportion of the hydrogen isotope deuterium.
Apart from the success on the heavy water exports front, the Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT) too is learnt to have exported an equipment called the Gamma Chamber 5000 a compact self shielded cobalt-60 gamma irradiator to the National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Bucharest, Romania against a payment of $140,000.
Earlier last year, the Hyderabad-based Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) had successfully executed an order received from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against global competition for manufacture, supply and commissioning of the fuel element end-cap welding unit to the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority.
According to DAE sources, the HWB a constituent unit under the Department of Atomic Energy that is primarily responsible for the production of heavy water for the domestic fleet of PHWRs is working hard to ensure greater visibility in the international market. While India had exported some quantities of heavy water in the late 1990s to South Korea and China, prior to the May 1998 nuclear weapons tests, the exported quantities were quite insignificant and there were no repeat orders. It is only now that the orders are picking up and, more importantly, importers include global nuclear powers such as the US and South Korea.
HWB has also developed similar capabilities in areas such

(All consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America)
Toyota City, Japan, May 8, 2013—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) today announces its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
On a consolidated basis, net revenues totaled 22.0 trillion yen, an increase of 18.7 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. Operating income increased from 355.6 billion yen to 1.32 trillion yen, an increase of 965.2 billion yen, while income before income taxes1 was 1.40 trillion yen. Net income2 increased from 283.5 billion yen to 962.1 billion yen.
Major factors contributing to the increase in operating income include the positive effects from marketing activities generating 650.0 billion yen, cost reduction efforts saving 450.0 billion yen and currency fluctuations of 150.0 billion yen, which offset the negative effects from related expenses of 300.0 billion yen.
Consolidated vehicle sales totaled 8.871 million units, an increase of 1.519 million units compared to the previous fiscal year.
Commenting on the results, TMC President Akio Toyoda said: "In the fiscal year ended March, we experienced increased sales of our vehicles mainly in North America and Asia, and, coupled with the results of companywide profit improvement activities, we booked operating income of 1.32 trillion yen. We have faced many challenges since 2009 but have learned valuable lessons, including the need for Toyota to maintain sustainable growth. We believe that the driver for sustainable growth is ultimately ever-better cars, and we are launching cars developed with this mindset. We are also making progress in reforming our manufacturing technologies and vehicle development processes under the Toyota New Global Architecture and I am convinced that the positive cycle defined for our business in the Toyota Global Vision is now gradually but steadily taking shape."
In Japan, vehicle sales totaled 2.279 million units, an increase of 207,997 units compared to the previous fiscal year.
Operating income from operations in Japan increased by 783.3 billion yen to 576.3 billion yen.
In North America, vehicle sales totaled 2.469 million units, an increase of 596,381 units compared to the previous fiscal year. Operating income increased by 35.5 billion yen to 221.9 billion yen, including 33.0 billion yen of valuation gains/losses on interest rate swaps. Operating income, excluding the impact of valuation gains/losses on interest rate swaps, increased by 28.7 billion yen to 188.9 billion yen.
In Europe, vehicle sales totaled 799,085 units, an increase of 1,092 units, while operating income increased by 8.6 billion yen to 26.4 billion yen.
In Asia, vehicle sales totaled 1.684 million units, an increase of 356,749 units, while operating income increased by 119.2 billion yen, to 376.0 billion yen.
In Central and South America, Oceania and Africa, vehicle sales totaled 1.640 million units, an increase of 356,516 units, while operating income increased by 24.9 billion yen to 133.7 billion yen.
In the financial services segment, operating income increased by 9.3 billion yen, to 315.8 billion yen compared to the previous fiscal year, including 29.5 billion yen of valuation gains/losses on interest rate swaps. Excluding valuation gains/losses, operating income decreased by 3.5 billion yen to 286.2 billion yen.
TMC estimates that consolidated vehicles sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 to be 9.1 million units, an increase of approximately 229,000 units over the previous fiscal year, due to increased vehicle sales outside Japan.
In addition, TMC forecasts consolidated net revenue of 23.5 trillion yen, operating income of 1.8 trillion yen and net income of 1.37 trillion yen for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, based on an exchange rate of 90 yen to the U.S. dollar and 120 yen to the euro.
TMC also announces a year-end dividend of 60 yen per share, to be proposed at the general shareholders meeting in June.

Resistance to ObamaCare is futile. It's not like you built your business yourself, anyway [Darleen Click]
Obama's "Kill Romney" campaign sneers that Mitt never created one job, just "fired people."
In the wake of the Supreme Court's health care decision, several companies with 50 or more full-time workers have embarked on a quest.
Their aim: Get below 50 and dodge the employer mandate. […]
Kari DePhillips, who co-owns the Content Factory, a public relations firm in Pittsburgh, was hoping she could just break up the company to sidestep the rule. Maybe one firm would do marketing while the other builds websites.
The small company is on pace to exceed the 50-worker threshold in the next few years. DePhillips doesn't want to provide health care, and she definitely doesn't want to pay the penalty, which would be $2,000 per full-time worker minus the first 30.
"A $40,000 fine to my company would be catastrophic," she said.
The only problem with her break-up plan is that it won't work. The government would still consider both of her companies as one. That's because the employer mandate penalty relies on "controlled group" provisions, focusing on who controls the company — not necessarily what they do. […]
[R]esistance to the rule is futile. The penalty only looks at who owns part or all of the company.
If doesn't matter is you own two completely different businesses, each with a staff of less that 50. Or that you own one business and your spouse owns another. Get used it, you filthy, stinking vulture capitalists who didn't really build your business in the first place! You will not escape the
clutches the benevolent embrace of ObamaCare!
Oh, wait …
The other way business owners are planning to deal with the law is a devastating one. They plan to cut staff and switch full-time employees to part-time, which the law classifies as less than 30 hours per week.Tags: obamacare

Parental Alienation Family Law video presented by Goldberg & Assoc.

Visit the Canadian Symposium for Parental Alienation in Toronto, Canada on March 27 – 29, 2009. This video talks about the conference and is geared for Family Law Attorneys.
Most attorneys & women's supporters advise moms to make False Abuse Allegations as normal, primary means to win custody & divorce, winner takes all. 3/4 of divorced DADS in my area experience false allegations PLUS parental alienation.
Most parental alienation accompanies HER false allegations resulting in mothers having sole custody with most dads alienated from their kids.
Most GAL's & other court hangers-on support the rot lest they lose their seat at this banquet on children's flesh.
too bad that these dumb ass judges in america don't want to hear about PAS mostly if its a woman judge
Sure lets help the lawers make more money
Thanks for all of your valiant efforts to fight and stop PAS. But, unfortunately there are too many judicial criminals and their toadies pulling in billions by promoting and helping with gang-molesting our children.
Sadly, those profiting are who you have to convince, and appeal to, to stop this most grievous gang crime against children and families.
What an incredible group of extremely talented,inspirational and warm-hearted speakers at the symposium this weekend. It was nice to see so many passionate people come together with a common goal of truly helping children and parents deal with parental alienation. Thank you all!
We PEMALIK are a pro-active NGO are concerned about these ugly development in our society today.. It's time every developed society, government and countries address these new bad development in the famiy institution.. These choices should not be made as an easy option for a way out..
