I read Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence back in 1998 and while I'm still working on the skills I learned about in that book, it is my dream and passion to share what I have learned with other working class people. Most of the guys I know in construction and the service industry have...

The movie "Avatar" is due to release here on Dec 18th and I'm trying to remember the Sci Fi short story from which the idea behind this film might actually come from. The short story I remember reading years ago was about a group of scientists who projected their consciousness into a...

Here's a humorous article from the New York Times that I feel sheds a little light into the dark recesses of our collective unconscious. Do we really just enjoy being angry? Are there times when we pick the low road of contention because if just feels good? Isn’t It Outrageous? - Happy Days...

For anyone who has been in the military, bodyweight exercises are nothing new. Many of us remember grass-drills and getting "smoked" by the drill Sgt until we were eventually transformed into lean mean fighting machines. I am told however that body weight conditioning drills are becoming more...

I love stuff like this. YouTube - Op zoek naar Maria - Dans in het Centraal Station van Antwerpen

Remember folks, hardware safety is everyones business! Comcast.net: Colorado Springs man coughs up inch-long nail

Thought I would start a thread to discuss types of training gear to include shoes, outerwear etc.. I finally got a new pair of New Balance 769 running shoes, as the addidas seemed to give me blisters in the first mile. I don't know if anyone else has had problems finding a good trainer like I...

This kid is downright adorable:) GREAT KIDS PROFILE: Jamie Garscadden, 10 | jamie, gifts, birthday - Great Kids - Colorado Springs Gazette, CO

I bring this up here in the philosophy section to encourage a more reasoned environment devoid of the usual "us vs them" approach found in a strict theist/atheist conflict. The point of view I personally find helpful for understanding this conflict and it's more subtle resolution is the...

How is it that the sense of self in a dream can be so different from the waking state? Often in dreams I interact with other dream characters but my sense of "me" is very different from my sense of "me" during the day. It seems to imply that "me" is somewhat fluid, no?

I just think this is pretty cool. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/13/nyregion/13metjournal.html?hp The idea of Buddhism without the accompanying religiosity interests me. I guess that's why Stephen Batchelor always appealed to me.

Who cares what the poet meant when the words were first written, now ages and ages hence. When the words of the poem are loosed into the world they cease to belong to the poet, and who knows what is carried upon that wind?

Can you be that which you perceive?

I'm surprised this hasn't made it into the discussion here at CR yet. Einstein Letter on God Sells for $404,000 - New York Times

I just love this video, and it makes a good point: DOTHETEST

I know there are a few riders here at CR, describe your ride and any mods you have made. I'm currently on a HD XL883, Fox creek tool bag, sportster saddlebags, rear plate laydown kit and Memphis Shades sport shield. I may trade it for a Buell Ulysses though if all goes well.

Just came across this on the web and it looks pretty scary: Nanotech Exposed in Grocery Store Aisles I'm not one to leap up and grab my tinfoil hat, but this stuff just isn't right

The thread about our first post here at CR got me to searching. I found a thread I had started entitled "Defining Terms" There I touched on defining terms such as Ethics and Morals but we never really discussed the subtle difference between the two. Now, three years later I still have the...

Is there an evolutionary purpose behind the way our mind works? Many of us hold beliefs that not only cannot be demonstrated but cause conflicts with others as well. What purpose can belief (as defined as a function) serve? Over and above a merely emotional security blanket that is;)

I find it hard to believe that with all the hype over the new movie "The Golden Compass" no one is talking about it here. The Catholic church is convinced that it is bashing them, and other Christians are afraid it is spreading atheism among children. What do you all think?
