Meet other local amateur philosophers to discuss the world and what we know about it. No prior experience in philosophy is required, just a love of wisdom, a desire to know, and an open mind. We meet on a regular basis and discuss various philosophical works and topics. Subject matter will typically reflect the interests of the participants, and include metaphysical issues. Persons of all perspectives are encouraged to participate, whether they come from a more "theistic" perspective or more "at …

Dream Catchers is a group open to all dreamers to encourage and support sharing, discussion and exploration of dream experiences.

As we depend upon and delight in Jesus, He describes something simple about us. We have a new life. There is a core to it. Through Christ, we have a relationship with God (gospel) We are now in a spiritual family of His children (community) We are left on earth to show the world the glory of Jesus (mission) This becomes the stride of our lives. In this stride we find our joy. How do we do this? Is it possible that we are tripping over ourselves? It's far more than a Sunday morning service (as im …

Starting a group for professionals to meet and help setup a powerful learning community and network in different professions and fields of expertise

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek …

"Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence" - Carl Sagan There is a lot of nonsense in the world: pseudoscience, alternative medicine, conspiracy theories, paranormal phenomenon, and other oddities. Skepticism is a method of assessing any claim (particularly fringe claims) using science, reasoning, and critical thinking. We aren't cynics - we are methodological truth seekers. We are mythbusting science advocates who believe in good quality double-blind peer reviewed research. We protec …

A collective of people who are interested in the more scientific side of life.

The America Invents Act (H.R. 1249) promises to bring substantial changes to the U.S. patent system, including new mechanisms for challenging patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. One of the new mechanisms is a post-grant review proceeding (PGR), which will provide patent challengers expanded bases on which to attack patents.  Post-grant review, however, will only be available to challenge patents that issue under the AIA's new first-to-file regime. Of more immediate concern, the AIA …

WE: Are a co-ed group that meets (at least) once a m …
