1. What version of OS X are you running on that Macbook?
2. How much RAM is installed in it?
3. Do you run/install all the software updates issued by Apple?
4. When was the last time you shot compressed air through the vents?
5. What are the machine specifications? (processor speed, processor type, etc)
As for the rest of your questions, it would be difficult to come up with an answer as we have no idea what machine it is
I have a MacBook that I bought in 2006 (I think). I replaced the hard drive Feb. 2012 after getting the "blue screen of death."
In the past few months, it performs much more slowly and frequently seems to hang up after I use a command -- for example, opening an email or pasting an item. Sometimes when I am typing, it can't keep up and I get the circling pinwheel.
I am not working right now, and money is a big concern.
First I'd like to know if the advice would be to get a new Mac. Secondly, I'd be interested in finding how others sold their old ones -- Craigslist, a user group, general newspaper ad? What would be a potential price for this given that it's had one user who has treated it pretty darn well.

What do they look like?
Jesus said no human has seen or spoke to God the Father at any time (John 1:17 - 18, 5:37, 6:46, etc.). The Bible, however, does give us at least some clues regarding certain attributes such as what He (or they) look like. For example, we know that what the two Beings in the Godhead looked like were used as a pattern in the creation of man (Genesis 1:26). They used themselves as the master template from which man's appearance came into existence.
Scripture tells us that God possesses a body composed of spirit (Daniel 7:9-14, 10:5-19, 1Corinthians 15:44, Philippians 3:21), which has a shape (John 5:37) and form (Philippians 2:5 - 7, 3:21). The Beings in the Godhead have a head (Revelation 19:12, 1:14, Jeremiah 19:5, 32:35) which has a face (Deuteronomy 34:10, Genesis 33:10), hair (Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14), eyes (Revelation 1:14, Psalm 11:4, 18:24), ears (Psalm 18:6, 34:15), mouth (Numbers 12:8, Isaiah 1:20), lips (Isaiah 11:4, 30:27) and a tongue (Isaiah 30:27). They also possess arms (Psalm 44:3, John 12: 38) which have hands (Psalm 102:25-26, Hebrews 1:10) and fingers (Exodus 31:18, Psalm 8:3-6). They have loins (Ezekiel 1:26-28, 8:1-4), feet (Psalm 18:9, Ezekiel 1:26, 1Corinthians 15:27) and even back parts (Exodus 33:23)!
Moral qualities of divinity
What are some of the character attributes that distinguishes the existence of God? Both Beings are holy, good and perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4, Psalm 18:30, Matthew 5:25, 48, Romans 2:4). They are always faithful (1Corinthians 10:13, 2Corinthians 1:20, Hebrews 6:18), long suffering (Exodus 34:6 - 7), perfectly impartial (1Peter 1:17) and merciful (Lamentations 3:22, Romans 11:32, James 5:11). They both are a living definition of love and truth (John 3:16, 17:3, Romans 15:30, 1John 4:8, 5:20) and the very essence of life (Jeremiah 10:10, Hebrews 7:16, Revelation 11:11). Their perfect character has existed forever and will always exist for all eternity (Hebrews 13:8).
The abilities of deity
What can God do and what does He possess that no other living being can do or have (unless He gives them the ability)? The Godhead is all powerful (Job 42:2, Matthew 28:18, Revelation 19:6) and eternal (Psalm 90:2, Isaiah 57:15, 1Timothy 1:17) with a self-sustaining existence (Exodus 3:14, 6:3, John 1:4, 5:26). They can know anything or be anywhere at any time (Romans 11:33, Psalm 139, Proverbs 24:12). Both God the Father and Jesus Christ can know the thoughts and intentions of anyone (Hebrews 4:12) and can be invisible for as long as they choose (Colossians 1:15).
Did you know . . . ?
What are some little known but AMAZING things that God alone possesses the ability to do or NOT DO? He can choose NOT to know something the moment it occurs (Genesis 3:8-9, 11-13, 18:1-3, 16-17, 22:12). The Godhead can also decide to NOT determine what someone will choose (Genesis 22:12) and can change their stated plans based on what humans do (Genesis 6:1-6, 18:23-33, Jonah 3:10, Isaiah 1:18). In fact, in certain circumstances, God is willing to NEGOTIATE what he will do (Genesis 18:17-33)! Both the Father and Christ have chosen to never lie (Hebrews 6:17-18) and never change their character (Malachi 3:6, James 1:17). Perhaps one of the most remarkable attributes of the Godhead is that there will come a time when they will choose, from the moment of their choice for all eternity, to NEVER remember ANY of our sins (Isaiah 43:25, Hebrews 8:12, 10:17)!

35:1259(144)AR - - GSA, Region VII, Fort Worth, TX and AFGE Council 236 - - 1990 FLRAdec AR - - v35 p1259
[ v35 p1259 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
35 FLRA No. 144
May 31, 1990
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of Arbitrator Milden J. Fox, Jr. The Arbitrator concluded that the Agency's Memorandum dated September 7, 1988, revoking all the designated smoking areas in the Agency's Contracts Division, constituted "an arbitrary action without [U]nion notification and/or impact and implementation bargaining." Award at 18.
The Agency filed exceptions to the award under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
For the following reasons, we conclude that the Agency has not demonstrated that the award violates applicable regulations, fails to draw its essence from the parties' collective bargaining agreement, or is based on a nonfact. We agree with the Agency, however, that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority by extending relief to nonunit employees. Accordingly, we will modify the portions of the Arbitrator's award that encompass nonunit employees.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The Agency designated smoking areas in the Contracts Division on the 11th floor of the Federal Office Building. Two employees in that Division furnished physicians' statements concerning "their adverse health conditions in cigarette smoking atmosphere." Award at 9. Subsequently, the Division Director issued a memorandum dated September 7, 1988, which provided, in pertinent part:
Because our population of smokers has grown, we are no longer able to provide a smoke-free environment for nonsmokers as prescribed by the regulations.
Therefore, it has become necessary to revoke all designated smoking areas within the Contracts Division. This is effective immediately.
The memorandum was issued without any discussion with the Union, and the Union did not receive a copy of the memorandum. According to the Arbitrator, "[t]he smokers, in order to smoke, had to go to other Division areas or to designated general smoking areas on other floors of the building." Id. at 10. The Union filed a grievance over the issuance of the memorandum and, when the matter was not resolved, it was submitted to arbitration.
The parties stipulated to the following issues:
1. Whether the management letter of September 7, 1988, constituted an arbitrary action without union notification and/or impact and implementation bargaining.
2. Whether the management letter . . . was in accordance with applicable law, rule, government-wide regulation or contract.
Id. at 4.
The Arbitrator found first that "[s]moking or nonsmoking is a condition of employment." Id. at 16. The Arbitrator also found that because "the smoking-nonsmoking issue" is a condition of employment, the Agency, at the regional level or below, was obligated under the parties' master agreement as well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to notify the Union and negotiate regarding the smoking policy in the Contracts Division. Id. at 17-18. The Arbitrator noted that the ruling on the first issue made "question number two a moot issue since the ruling on question number one really included the violations of rule, government-wide regulation and Contract." Id. at 18.
The Arbitrator concluded that "the management letter of September 7, 1988 constituted an arbitrary action without [U]nion notification and/or impact and implementation bargaining." Id. The Arbitrator sustained the grievance and ordered the Agency to:
rescind the memorandum of September 7, 1988 and notify the Union of future changes in working conditions per Article 8 of the MLA. The Agency is directed to allow the Union to bargain on the replacement directive for the memorandum of September 7, 1988.
The parties are directed, in carrying out the above, to exercise jointly their duties to bargain in good faith according to applicable laws, rules, regulations and collective bargaining agreement (MLA). Until such time as the parties reach a mutual agreement through negotiations and/or a F[ederal] S[ervice] I[mpasses] P[anel] decision is issued, the parties are directed to cooperate in minimizing the health hazards to both smokers and nonsmokers.
Since the division does not have any general use smoking areas and none are available on the 11th floor, the Agency is directed to allow the division smokers free access to all general smoking areas during and after normal duty hours to fully utilize their allocated break time (break and lunch). Since these general use smoking areas are not in the immediate vicinity of the division's allocated work space on the 11th floor, the travel time to and from these general use smoking areas shall not be counted against the employee break time.
Id. at 19.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency's Exceptions
The Agency asserts that the Arbitrator's award is deficient because:
1. It violates Federal Property Management Regulation 101-20.105-3 by requiring management "to allow smoking in work areas when such smoking has been shown to impinge on the health of those who do not smoke." Exceptions at 10.
2. It violates 29 C.F.R. § 1613.704(a), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, because it violates two handicapped employees' right to reasonable accommodation. Id.
3. It does not draw its essence from the parties' collective bargaining agreement in that the award requires the regional parties to negotiate on work station smoking, a subject which, according to the Agency, is a "prohibited area for regional bargaining as determined by the national parties in the Memorandum of Understanding on Smoking Policy." Id.
4. It is based on a nonfact in that the Arbitrator incorrectly found that "the smokers in the Contracts Division did not have access to a general use smoking area." Id.
5. It is based on a nonfact because "under the terms of the National Memorandum of Understanding on Smoking Policy region 7 management has a unilateral right to designate general use smoking areas." Id.
6. The Arbitrator exceeded his authority because the award "requires cancellation of a letter that applied to persons outside the bargaining unit[.]" Id.
B. Union's Opposition
The Union asserts that the Arbitrator's award does not violate law, rule, or regulation. According to the Union, the negotiability of smoking in the workplace and the statutory duty to notify the Union and bargain over changes in working conditions is well established. The Union argues that the Agency's exceptions provide no basis for setting aside the award.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
A. The Award is Not Contrary to 41 C.F.R. §101-20.105-3 or 29 C.F.R. § 1613.704(a)
The Agency argues that the Arbitrator's award violates 41 C.F.R. § 101-20.105-3 because it "requir[es] management to allow smoking in work areas when such smoking has been shown to impinge on the health of those who do not smoke." Exceptions at 10. Contrary to the Agency's assertion, we find that the Arbitrator's award does not require management to allow smoking in work areas and that, therefore, the award does not violate 41 C.F.R. § 101-20.105-3.
41 C.F.R. § 101-20.105-3, in general, establishes requirements for controlling smoking in GSA-controlled buildings and facilities. The regulations recognize the health hazards of passive smoking on nonsmokers, and require that smoking be kept to a minimum in areas where there are nonsmokers. The regulations require that agency heads designate smoking areas in Federal buildings, taking into consideration the health issues involved, and giving appropriate consideration to the views of the employees affected or their representatives. See Internal Revenue Service, Los Angeles District v. FLRA, No. 88-1550 (D.C. Cir. May 1, 1990), slip op. at 4-5, for a discussion of these regulations.
We conclude that this exception is based on a misinterpretation of the Arbitrator's award. Nothing in the award requires the Agency to allow smoking in areas which have not been designated already as smoking areas by the Agency. We note, in this regard, that the Arbitrator directed the Agency to allow smokers in the Contracts Division (on the 11th floor) access to designated smoking areas on other floors, until such time as an agreement is reached concerning designated smoking areas on the 11th floor, because there are no general use smoking areas on the 11th floor. The Union acknowledges that the award does not require the Agency to allow smoking on the 11th floor until an agreement to that effect is reached between the parties. See Union's Opposition at 2 ("There are no general use smoking areas on the eleventh floor. [The Arbitrator's] award allows employees to use other floors until such time as negotiations produce an agreed to resolution.").
Consistent with the plain wording of the Arbitrator's award, and the Union's interpretation of it, we find that the award does not require the Agency to allow smoking in work areas. Accordingly, the award does not conflict with 41 C.F.R. § 101-20.105-3.(*)
We also find that the Agency has failed to establish that the award violates 29 C.F.R. § 1613.704(a), which requires, in general, that agencies make reasonable accommodations for qualified handicapped employees. As noted above, the Arbitrator's award does not permit employees to smoke in work areas. The award directs the Agency to allow employees who smoke access to designated smoking areas in other floors until the parties' bargaining over designated smoking areas on the 11th floor is completed. The Agency has not demonstrated that this interim measure is inconsistent with 29 C.F.R. § 1613.704(a). Therefore, we find that the award does not violate 29 C.F.R. § 1613.704(a).
B. The Award Draws its Essence from the Agreement
An award is deficient because it fails to draw its essence from the agreement if the award: (1) cannot in any rational way be derived from the agreement; or (2) is so unfounded in reason and fact, and so unconnected with the wording and purpose of the agreement, as to manifest an infidelity to the obligation of the arbitrator; or (3) evidences a manifest disregard for the agreement; or (4) does not represent a plausible interpretation of the agreement. See Illinois Air National Guard, 182nd Tactical Air Support Group and The Association of Civilian Technicians, Illinois Chapter 34, 34 FLRA 591, 593 (1990).
The Agency has failed to demonstrate that the award is deficient under any of the tests outlined above. The Agency asserts that, pursuant to the parties' Memorandum of Understanding, "work station smoking . . . is a prohibited area for regional bargaining[.]" Exceptions at 10. As noted previously, however, the Arbitrator's award does not require the Agency to allow smoking in work areas or, as relevant here, to bargain over smoking at work stations. Instead, the award requires the parties to bargain over designated smoking areas. See, for example, Award at 18 ("[T]he Division Director . . . failed to establish a designated smoking area on her floor or coordinate with the other division(s) on her floor to designate a smoking area."). In this regard, under the parties' Memorandum, "[r]egional [p]arties are authorized to negotiate on . . . [t]he location of permanent general use smoking areas." Exceptions at 7.
We find that the Agency's assertion that the award fails to draw its essence from the parties' Memorandum of Understanding on Smoking Policy constitutes mere disagreement with the Arbitrator's interpretation and application of the parties' agreement. Accordingly, the exception provides no basis for finding the award deficient. See United States Department of Labor (OSHA) and National Council of Field Labor Locals, 34 FLRA 573, 576 (1990). <

Quantum Near Death ExperiencesPosted by Greg at 05:16, 05 Nov 2012
The Daily Mail is featuring a story on NDEs and quantum physics that is bound for the "if you read TDG, you would have known that ages ago" file:
A near-death experience happens when quantum substances which form the soul leave the nervous system and enter the universe at large, according to a remarkable theory proposed by two eminent scientists.
According to this idea, consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain which can persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death experiences.
Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Centre of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, has advanced the quasi-religious theory.
It is based on a quantum theory of consciousness he and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose have developed which holds that the essence of our soul is contained inside structures called microtubules within brain cells.
They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe - and may have existed since the beginning of time.
...With these beliefs, Dr Hameroff holds that in a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Instead it merely leaves the body and returns to the cosmos.
Long-time readers of this site would know that this is hardly a new theory - Stuart told us all about it in a Daily Grail interview from back in 2004-2005. When I specifically asked him about the implications of his theory for near-death experiences, Stuart replied that "when the metabolism driving quantum coherence (in microtubules) is lost, the quantum information leaks out to the spacetime geometry in the universe at large. Being holographic and entangled it doesnt dissipate. Hence consciousness (or dream-like subconsciousness) can persist."
We've also mentioned the speculative theory of physicist Henry Stapp, that quantum physics allows for the possibility of an afterlife existence. But that was only 2 years ago, so you may have to give the mainstream media a few years to get onto that one...

Frankenstorm and the Tree SkeletonPosted by Greg at 23:54, 31 Oct 2012
And you thought Hurricane Sandy had gone and ruined the Hallowe'en vibe...
A homeless woman made a spooky Halloween's eve discovery on the Upper Green: bones from a centuries-old human body unearthed by a giant oak tree toppled by Superstorm Sandy.
The woman, Katie Carbo, made the discovery around 3:15 p.m. near the corner of College and Chapel streets. Visible among the roots of the tree is the back of skull, upside down, with its mouth open (pictured). It is still connected to a spine and rib cage.
Carbo called police, who confirmed the discovery. Detectives headed to the scene to investigate.

Near Death Experience Comes to LifePosted by Greg at 12:14, 15 Oct 2012
Last week I quickly mentioned that the topic of near-death experience had made the cover of Newsweek. I didn't have much time to discuss it then (and I still don't, really) because…I'm writing about near-death experiences (for my book). But at the time, I quickly mentioned on my Twitter account a couple of things that concerned me about the case, and the big publicity it was getting:
- That the Newsweek piece was pitched as 'Proof of heaven/afterlife', but no real evidence was offered in the article.
- That Eben Alexander's experience actually didn't sound overly like a typical NDE…in fact, it sounded a whole lot more like a psychedelic experience via entheogens such as Salvia or DMT.
My latter point was quickly supported by a satirical article on Gawker which asked readers to try and pick whether phrases were from the Newsweek NDE feature, or from internet postings about drug experiences. The former point was, as could be predicted, picked apart by prominent atheists, including P.Z. Myers and Sam Harris.
Now firstly, I'm not as concerned as some that Newsweek ran the story - it's a human story, and fascinating in its own right, something that a lot of peope would want to read. Hardly an "archaeological artifact that is certain to embarrass us in the eyes of future generations", as Sam Harris would have it (whoah there with the hyperbole Sam!). All the same, I think Harris makes some good points in his critique, most notably:
Everything — absolutely everything — in Alexander's account rests on repeated assertions that his visions of heaven occurred while his cerebral cortex was "shut down," "inactivated," "completely shut down," "totally offline," and "stunned to complete inactivity."
Where I would urge caution though, and Sam Harris even quickly mentions this himself, is that we should probably be reserving judgement until the book itself is released (on October 23). Now, some blame should go to Newsweek's headlining department, because I expected some decent evidence to be put forward, when it wasn't. But there are elements to the case that weren't mentioned in the Newsweek article which will obviously be in the book, and which no doubt led Alexander to his conclusion that his 'NDE' was proof of an afterlife. Perhaps the most prominent of which was that the woman he interacted with during the experience was his birth sister whom he had never seen an image of before (Alexander was adopted out), and who had died just a few years previous to his illness. He mentions it in this clip:
Now, from his description of how this all played out, I'm sure skeptics could pull this piece of 'evidence' itself apart enough to show there are scenarios that explain how he saw his dead sister. But it does make clear that there are other interesting elements to the story that convinced Alexander to his way of thinking (and may convince others). So perhaps we should steady down with the criticisms for now.
Though I'm not sure Dr Alexander and his publishers would be overly concerned with more publicity at this stage - his book is currently (as I write) #2 on Amazon, and it's still a week away from official release. Ahem, Newsweek, I have a cool book out soon that you might like to mention…

The Uninvited
by Greg Taylor
In the shadow of Christmas 1908, almost one hundred people sat quietly within a heated hall as another long Icelandic winter's night began. The sound of scuffing feet and low murmurs dominated the hall, as the tense crowd waited for a glimpse of the young man they had come to see. When he finally emerged from an adjoining room, the handsome 25-year-old strolled with purpose towards the pulpit at the centre of one end of the room. Seating himself at the nearby table – the only one in the room – he nodded to the official already seated and waiting for him. The white noise of the room died a sudden death; another official surveyed the crowd silently, instructed one man to lock the doors to the hall, and then another to put out the lamp illuminating the room.
Suddenly another light source appeared: a candle, lit beside the harmonium player, who launched into a hymn medley, accompanied by several people in the audience. The young man sat motionless on his chair for a long while, his hands clasped at his chest, as if in prayer. Then, suddenly his head and hands fell, as if a puppeteer had loosed his strings. The lead official signaled to the harmonium player, who brought the hymnal accompaniment to a close as the candle was extinguished. As the light died, the assembled group caught one last glimpse of the young man, as the official seated beside him suddenly grabbed his arms forcefully. The whole hall seemed to suck inward through pure weight of the tension in the air, as darkness enveloped all and through the silence only deep breathing could be heard.
And then, a voice sliced through the stillness, simultaneously making one hundred hearts jump. From the general area of the pulpit, with little fanfare, the dead had made their appearance. Talking through the entranced medium, the 'control' personality greeted all those present and introduced himself. Then, behind the crowd, another of the dead announced itself, and again, to the side of the hall a woman's voice addressed the audience in French. From the front of the hall the official called confirmation, "I am still holding his arms!".
A strong breeze rushed across the hall, confusing those who knew the doors and windows of the hall were locked shut. Cracking sounds were heard in the air, bringing the tension to fever pitch, when the harmonium player began shouting. He had felt the instrument begin lifting off the floor, and had thrust his left foot onto the floor while keeping his right foot on one of the pedals, in order to steady himself. Nevertheless, as the harmonium continued to bob across the floor he was compelled to jump along with it, until it was suddenly snatched away. The official immediately called for the lights to be turned back on, and those present were stunned to find the harmonium had been moved on top of a table on the east side of the hall, though nobody had heard any sound of it moving there or being put onto the table. It took two men to lift the roaming instrument down from its perch, and they did so with some difficulty – and not without some noise.
The young man at the centre of this maelstrom woke from his trance, blinking at the bright lights. Not yet fully awake, he staggered from the hall, barely able to remain upright, apparently unaware of the extraordinary happenings in the hall just minutes before. ... Read More »
Near-Death Experience on the Cover of NewsweekPosted by Greg at 02:24, 09 Oct 2012
It's always good to see coverage of the near-death experience in the mainstream media, and the cover of Newsweek is some pretty decent coverage:
When leading neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander found himself in a 7-week coma in 2008, he experienced things he never thought possible - exclusively excerpted from his upcoming book Proof of Heaven, he shares his journey to the afterlife in this week's Newsweek. Pickup the issue on newsstands Monday and for your iPad today!
More at the Daily Mail and the Daily Beast, and the video below (from Through the Wormhole) offers a quick introduction to Eben Alexander and his NDE:
The EntityPosted by Greg at 02:48, 10 Sep 2012
In this fascinating 27 minute video, parapsychologist Barry Taff discusses the beginning of his career and subsequent involvement in the famous 1970s poltergeist case of Doris Bither, the story of which was adapted into the film The Entity (which Martin Scorcese listed as #4 on his list of the scariest horror films of all time). Taff himself experienced paranormal phenomena as a child, but retains skepticism about the majority of cases that he has investigated. But this particular case he describes as one of the highest peaks from his casebook.
Barry Taff's latest book is Aliens Above, Ghosts Below. You can read more from him at his website.

Science and the Afterlife ExperiencePosted by Greg at 06:29, 29 Aug 2012
One of the more rational writers out there on the paranormal is Chris Carter (no, not that one, or that one) - his books Parapsychology and the Skeptics (now titled Science and Psychic Phenomenona) and Science and the Near Death Experience are cogent, well-argued explorations of the research into parapsychology and the evidence for an afterlife. So I'm eager to get my hands on his latest book, Science and the Afterlife Experience, released last week. Here's the back cover blurb:
In this book Chris Carter shows that evidence of life beyond death exists and has been around for millennia, predating any organized religion. Focusing on three key phenomena - reincarnation, apparitions, and communications from the dead - Carter reveals 125 years of documented scientific studies by independent researchers and the British and American Societies for Psychical Research that rule out hoaxes, fraud, and hallucinations and prove these afterlife phenomena are real.
The author examines historic and modern accounts of detailed past-life memories, visits from the deceased, and communications with the dead via medium and automatic writing as well as the scientific methods used to confirm these experiences. He explains how these findings on the afterlife have been ignored and denied because they are incompatible with the prevailing doctrine of materialism. Sharing messages describing the afterlife from the dead themselves, Carter reveals how consciousness exists outside the parameters of biological evolution and emerges through the medium of the brain to use the physical world as a springboard for growth. After death, souls can advance to higher planes of consciousness or manifest once again on Earth. Carter's rigorous argument proves - beyond any reasonable doubt - that consciousness not only survives death and continues in the afterlife but also that it precedes birth as well.

There is Nothing Paranormal About Near-Death Experiences (We Guess)Posted by Greg at 12:10, 15 Aug 2012
"There's nothing paranormal about near-death experiences." So said the title of a journal article last year that got widespread, uncritical coverage (e.g. Sci-Am, Boing Boing). I mentioned a few criticisms of the article here on TDG at the time, and just a few weeks ago another academic article labeled it a "prejudicially skeptical review" of the research into the cause of NDEs. And now, some of the heavyweights of NDE research have also had their say.
In a letter that can be found in the latest issue of Trends in Cognitive Sciences (the journal that published the original article), Dr Bruce Greyson, Dr Janice Miner Holden and Dr Pim van Lommel - three of the most respected names in the near-death experience research field - have taken the paper to task, most notably for the misleading nature of its title:
In a recent article in this journal entitled 'There is nothing paranormal about near-death experiences', Dean Mobbs and Caroline Watt concluded that '[t]aken together, the scientific evidence suggests that all aspects of the near-death experience have a neurophysiological or psychological basis'. We suggest that Mobbs and Watt explained 'all aspects' of near-death experiences (NDEs) by ignoring aspects they could not explain and by overlooking a substantial body of empirical research on NDEs. In a subsequent radio interview, Watt acknowledged that they had avoided looking at any evidence for veridical out-of-body perception, resulting in their being unable to evaluate whether or not there was empirical evidence of anything paranormal about NDEs (http://bit.ly/MITeGP). But if Mobbs and Watt did not consider the evidence for possible paranormal features, then their claim that there is nothing paranormal about NDEs is not evidence-based.
Ouch. The researchers suggest that scholars should respond to "all relevant data, not just data supporting the a priori assumption that NDEs must be reducible to known neurophysiology", but also voice their belief that NDEs are "entirely lawful and natural phenomena that can and should be studied by scientific methods, rather than dismissed without investigation."
In the same issue, one of the original authors (Dean Mobbs) has responded to the criticism, saying that while Greyson et al should be "congratulated for their highly respected research in documenting these experiences", they (and others) "have not provided any compelling evidence concerning NDEs that contradicts what we already know about the brain."
Near Death Experience Researcher Arrested for 'Waterboarding' ChildPosted by Greg at 01:04, 10 Aug 2012
Dr Melvin Morse, well-known for his research and books on the topic of near-death experiences in children, was arrested on Tuesday along with his wife, on charges related to the alleged 'water-boarding' of their 11-year-old daughter.
Morse was originally arrested last month after a neighbour reported he grabbed the 11-year-old girl, who is his step-daughter, by the ankle and dragged her across a gravel driveway, taking her inside to spank her. After being released on bail, he was arrested again this week after detectives interviewed the girl at the local Child Advocacy Center, where she had told them that her father had "disciplined her by what he called "waterboarding" — holding the daughter's face under running water, causing the water to fill her nostrils and over her face", while her mother watched on.
The daughter told police she "could never understand what she did to be punished" and felt scared, court documents reported. Once, she said, her father told her he "was going to wrap her in a blanket and do it so that she could not move." In another instance, she said Melvin Morse told her that "she could go five minutes without brain damage."
"Melvin would sometimes look away while he did it and (redacted) would become afraid that he would lose track of time and she would die," police wrote in court documents.
...After her father did these things, the girl said she would "go outside and cry," prompting Melvin Morse to come outside and then "hold her nose and mouth with his hand," police said in court records.
"He would tell her she was lucky he did not use duct tape," police said in the documents. "He would not let go until she lost feeling and collapsed to the ground."
The girl's younger sister was also interviewed and told social workers she saw this happen to her sister, but that "it has never been done to her because she is too young for it."
The Delaware Attorney General's Office has since filed a motion for the emergency suspension of Morse's medical license, while the children are now in the care of the Division of Family Services.
One leading skeptic, Ben Radford, has suggested that Morse's use of oxygen deprivation as a 'punishment' may have been an attempt on his part to induce a near-death experience in his step-daughter.
These charges, making news around the world, certainly throw a dark shadow over the pediatrician's pioneering work on near-death experience accounts by children, as recounted in books such as Closer to the Light.
Update: This Washington Post article quotes Morse's attorney as saying the daughter has previously made false reports about abuse (at that time, a half-sibling). Please remember this is still an untried case at this time, so it's difficult to come to many conclusions at this early stage.

Immortality Project Gets $5 MillionPosted by Greg at 01:48, 01 Aug 2012
Yesterday we posted a link to a paper calling for serious, open-minded research into the near-death experience. Happily, today we're posting news that this looks very likely to happen.
The Templeton Foundation - set up by Wall Street pioneer John Templeton "as a philanthropic catalyst for discoveries relating to the Big Questions of human purpose and ultimate reality" - has awarded a 3-year, $5 million-grant to Professor John Martin Fischer at the University of California to study the concept of immortality, from both a religious and scientific viewpoint (ie. 'heaven' vs physical immortality):
UC Riverside philosophy professor John Martin Fischer will receive $1 million of that to host conferences on campus about the afterlife, to support post-doctoral students and to run a website for research on the topic. Then Fischer will administer competitions to dole out the remaining $4 million to researchers worldwide in the sciences, social sciences, philosophy and theology, he said.
"It doesn't mean we are trying to prove anything or the other. We will be trying to be very scientific and rigorous and be very open-minded," he said. Fischer described himself as skeptical about an afterlife but said he believed that "endless life without death could be a good thing."
Titled "The Immortality Project", the grant recognizes "the present time as an auspicious one" in which to launch a unified, organized, and open-minded research project into questions such as:
- Whether and in what form(s) persons survive or could survive bodily death.
- Whether and to what extent persons' beliefs about immortality influence their behavior, attitudes, and character
- Why and how persons are (at least pre-reflectively) disposed to believe in post-mortem survival
- Whether it is in some sense irrational to desire immortality
The aims of the project appear to show a real desire to approach this much-neglected topic from a number of angles, from researching the possibility of an afterlife, through to discussing whether belief in immortality of some kind might be irrational.
On the topic of future research into NDEs, Fischer noted that...
We will be very careful in documenting near-death experiences and other phenomena, trying to figure out if these offer plausible glimpses of an afterlife or are biologically induced illusions. Our approach will be uncompromisingly scientifically rigorous. We're not going to spend money to study alien-abduction reports. We will look at near-death experiences and try to find out what's going on there — what is promising, what is nonsense, and what is scientifically debunked. We may find something important about our lives and our values, even if not glimpses into an afterlife.

TRAIN: Brothers Wilfred and Ernest Guy face a long journey home, including on a French train, after the outbreak of World War One
Chris Seal / / News
This Day in History, Diary Entry, August 27, 1914
MESSR'S Wilfred and Ernest Guy, sons of Mr Richard Guy, Penarth, reached Folkstone on Friday after a trying journey from Switzerland.
The brothers had been spending a holiday on the Bernese Oberland and on reaching Interlaken, on their way home; found that all the usual railway services had been suspended owing to mobilisation. They saw the British Consul and were advised by him to stay at Interlaken for the time, as it was both difficult and dangerous to cross the frontier.
They remained there for fifteen days unable to get away, and then getting in touch with the British Consul at Berne, they were advised that if they cared to undertake a journey which would be undoubtedly difficult and exciting, they might be able to get home through France.
Obtaining Passports from him, they got by train as far as Les Verriers, on the Swiss frontier where they were held up for some time. Eventually a train arrived which was going to cross the French Frontier, but it was too crowded for them to get a seat or even standing room.
However, every official seemed anxious to help and no objections were raised to their suggestion that they would ride on the footboards, and in this manner they crossed the frontier. They had to leave the train at Pontarlier -the first station in French territory –and were searched.
Promoted stories
They went to the mayor of the town and gave account of themselves, had their passports revised and were allowed to proceed after some hours.
At Dole they had again to leave the train, as a train was coming through carrying wounded soldiers, many of the poor men they could see grievously wounded indeed, but all for the confidence in the ultimate issue of war.
They eventually reached Paris. They were treated there with great consideration, both by the English Committee and by the French people. They were greatly struck by the appearance of the crowds there, which were composed entirely of women, old men and young boys-every man of fighting age had gone to the front.
Leaving Paris, they were again held by Amiens and there they met a train carrying English troops, who cheered heartily when the Guy brothers and some English friends they had fallen in with at Paris struck up with the new soldiers war cry "It's a long way to Tipperary".
The brothers reached Boulogne to find the town full of English troops who appeared very much at home and after some delay got a boat for Folkestone and at last reached London after travelling for three nights and three days.

People watching/creeping?
Are you guilty of doing this? seems everywhere i go i people watch, and not like in a creepy way, just in a ovservant way... or like when i get an email from someone i facebook it to see what they look like or something. Which has been fun with helping peole do the led thing with the lights cuz im always getting emails about it hahah
am i the only one that does this?
I love going to different events and people watch.
Sometimes the people are better entertainment then the event itself.
People do some of the weirdest things when they think no one is watching them.
I like to guess what people look like before seeing them, then see how close I am. I'm usually WAY off. Like I always do it at the fast food drive through.
hm well that is creepy.....
Funny the reactions about that picture when it doesn't even show any more than a bathing suite lol. It's just perception.
And now you have me wondering what picture I posted of her in the other thread...
Youd be surprised some of the people that have turned up emailing me about LEDs. People youd never expect to be modding trucks, or modding anything. Hell Ive had people email me cuz they were friends of friends of friends who I helped LED their truck and they want help LEDing their harley or street bike or something haha
did or dig? lol
I found it, from when we were in NY for new years. I figured I'll repost it here this way ya'll don't have to go creeping around the forum trying to find my wife...
This is one of the better pictures of us, where we are pretending that we like each other. JK :)
[QUOTE=snrusnak;824622]hm well that is creepy.....
Its not like I did a search or made it my mission to find her/you, I was just checking out the significate others thread and ran across your post!! I like the ones that show backgrounds (mountains) and familys, when you get my age you appreciate a nice happy looking young family. You have to admit, its not difficult to recconize when you post on a thread! There is another avatar that I recconize also, the one with the sinister looking Jester/Joker holding the Mopar card. Relax, its not like Im holding my tablet with one hand.....!
I know man, I'm just screwing around. If I was going to flip out every time someone commented that they liked my avatar then we wouldn't have posted it. It's just funny that people go crazy over it(maybe that's an exaggeration...) when a bathing suite exposes just as much. Like I said before it's just perception because you only see one part of the body in the avatar... And even if you are one handing it, I really don't care, as long as you don't tell me lol.
And as much as I dislike tattoos, I happen to like that one(I wonder why...?) lol
Any way, we take it as a compliment(until it gets creepy and weird....then it's just creepy and weird...) :)

My new holy grail shampoo!
I got it as an impulse buy, and I am so impressed! I found it doesn't dry my hair out at all, gives quite good volume, good levels of shine, and very clean; I only have to wash my hair every 4/5 days when using it, instead of 2/3 days!
I use it basically how you'd use a bar of soap; I just rub it on my hair, and it lathers up, but not excessively, and doesn't disintegrate. It's very easy to guide the shampoo where you need it, and get the underneath section of your hair, without it washing away (unlike liquid shampoo).
It lasts a long time, too- I've had my bar for around 3 months now, and it's barely shrunk in size, so it's great value as far as I'm concerned! I store it in my lush tin, which seems pretty effective.
Will definitely repurchase <3

I used this product for about 4 months. Initially the scent was strong, which I liked, however this faded over time until I could hardly smell it anymore. For the first month or so it was great, but I began to find it to be quite drying - at the end of four months I really felt I had to stop because the bottom half of my hair was becoming like straw. Perhaps this is because I was combining it with the jungle conditioner bar, but I would not repurchase.

This is surprisingly good, but Lush is very hit or miss with most of the hair products being a miss. I didnt expect to like it but it it lathers up nicely so a little goes a long way. It cleans thoroughly, doesn't strip colour, and smells amazing. So easy. I strongly suggest getting a container for it, as I left my first bar unprotected in the shower and it disintegrated really quickly. I just use it like a soap and create anther which I pop on my hair and massage, but you could also just roll it around your hair or even break some off. I find the lather first application more economical so it lasts longer. This is my shampoo of choice for travel, and it helps that it's solid and in a good container, spill proof and compact. Even if you are like me and have become disillusioned with Lush haircare, try Karma Kormba asap.

Possibly the best shampoo I have ever used, I was a bit skeptical about it when I first used it because it was solid and I had no idea how to apply it, but once I got the hang of it this was great, my scalp gets quite congested with dandruff and buildup and this cleaned it well without drying out my hair. It gave my air this light, airy feeling and made it look so shiny. It's really calming as well and I personally love the smell. The only things I didn't like were how they put the flower on top and how it was packaged, after the first use I had to scrape it out of the tin with my fingernails because it got all soggy and it stuck to the tin. Maybe they could have a push-up thing where you twist the bottom of a container like a lipstick kind of thing and then you just rub it on your hair like that. Overall a very lovely product and I will probably buy it again when I finish my current shampoo.

I adore this solid shampoo from Lush. The Karma scent is my favourite and I have the Karma Kream, the soap and I also use the bubble bar.
I have fine hair that is very prone to oiliness but this really *cleans* my hair. My hair is shiny and bouncy and smells amazing after I use it.
I was worried about the level of SLS and the effect it might have on my hair but I rub it onto the roots, lather and allow the suds to run down the lengths of my hair so that the shampoo isn't being rubbed directly onto the ends of my hair, which are prone to dryness.
Definitely my new favourite shampoo.

Before I start, I think I will share with you the condition of my hair. I have to admit I have put it through hell before now, by colouring and chemical straightening. It permanently wrecked my hair and I have never seen it this weak in my life. But I put a lot of time into taking care of it, and after this, it was about to change.
This is my first LUSH shampoo bar, I read some glowing reviews about this before I made up my mind to purchase one at my local LUSH. It was weird, because before this, I have never set foot in a LUSH store. You know some people have made fun of washing hair with soap at some stage of your life, well, this is one of those instances when you pause and go... wait, really? But I promise you, you won't regret using this! It was weird using it the first time, you rub it in circles on your wet hair, and it lathers up quite well. I then use a shampoo hair brush to massage my scalp for a bit, then wash it out, and shampoo a second time, massage scalp with the shampoo brush again, and then rinse it out. It has no silicone, so it feels a bit drying if you are used to that slippery feeling after you wash out the bubbles with your ordinary shampoo. If you follow up with good conditioner (preferably no silicone too), you will feel the difference right away. My hair was used to cone-free shampoos, so it was no surprise to me that my hair was so clean it practically squeaks after you wash it out. I was never a shampoo and go sorta girl for obvious reasons stated above, so at first I follow it up with Retread, and I was surprised at how soft my hair felt, and I had way less breakage when I applied my straightener. I also marvelled at how much less hair came out when I was done. Now I have been using it for a few weeks, I can honestly say, after using LUSH hair products, you have to pay me to go back to using drug store or salon shampoo and conditioners! You have no idea how damaging it is to have silicone in your hair. With the exception of heat protection (which is why I double-shampoo, to get rid of build up), I have minimal silicone products on my hair, and I love the feel of it! So light and bouncy and soft! It might be pricey and small when you first lay your eyes on it, but I shampoo about once every two days, and after 2 weeks, I only see a little decrease in size (my hair length is half way down my back), so it is safe to say, one will last you quite a while!
But, if you have a thing against strong smelling ANYTHING, you will probably want to stay away from this, because once you wet this bar the scent lingers around for days. Not from your hair, it's the shampoo bar. I don't really mind, because it means I don't need to spend extra for air fresheners. Bonus! =D

I wanted to love this. And I do love the smell, I'm a Karma fan so I really wanted Karma hair. It lathered nicely with not much effort, which was nice. But made my hair a bit knotty and just not great.
Has not gone to waste though, I use it to soap up my legs to shave. It's actually brilliant for that!

I love the smell of this shampoo bar soooo much, its lovely. However this shampoo is pretty drying for me, so using a very rich conditioner afterwards is a must. I'll keep purchasing it based on the smell alone haha I can't stop smelling my hair!!

I have really fallen in love with Lush Shampoo bars - but this is my favorite.
I'd like to let you know a few things about how I use them, and what my hair is like.
I have highlighted and dyed hair that I get done at the salon every 6-8 weeks. I have stubborn grays at the root so that area needs work frequently! so, my roots are dyed, and occassionally i have my highlights drawn out a bit more. my hair can be dry. its fine, but I have a ton of it and its near the middle of my back, with some long layers.
I wash it almost every single day...I style it, with a dryer, a flat iron or curling iron...but mostly I abuse it. when I wash, i wet my hair completely, i lather some of the bar in my hand and I also stroke my hair in 4-5 places with the bar... then massage. nice lather.
I was totally worried about using the shampoo bars because everyone is freaking out that they are drying. but then I wondered...is everyone using conditioner?? I am. I have ALWAYS used conditioner after washing my hair.
I have no problems. my hair is clean, bouncy, shiny and smells good -
I have used my own conditioner, and Lush Jungle - same great results.
Most shampoos I've used have SLS in them so this doesn't bother me at all...and I don't feel like there is any fading more than the usual.
my hair feels healthier than ever and looks & smells awesome.
I'm also happy that I'm cutting down on packaging waste.
when I'm done shampooing, i let the bar dry in the lid. if i'm traveling, or in a hurry, i'll dab it dry with some TP (hey, its whats in front of me...!) and then put the lid on it.
for reference, I have been a Bumble and Bumble & Kerastase user. I still use a Kerastase leave in to detangle. I've never been a shampoo and go girl...so maybe people are expecting too much?? its shampoo in solid form, its not magic, but close. :)

Trinidad and Tobago football league system
The Trinidad and Tobago football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for association football clubs in Trinidad and Tobago. The system has a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation between leagues at different levels and is governed by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association at the national level. There are over 8 leagues, containing over 10 divisions.[1] The exact number of clubs varies from year to year as clubs join and leave leagues or fold altogether, but an estimated average of 10 clubs per division implies that over 100 clubs are members of a league in the Trinidad and Tobago football league system.
At the top is the single division of the TT Pro League (which is sometimes referred to as Level 1 of the league 'pyramid'), containing nine teams. Below the Pro League is the National Super League (Level 2), which contains 13 teams. All the teams in the Pro League are full-time professional teams. On the other hand, the Super League is semi-professional containing a few clubs that have close affiliations with Pro League clubs.
Outside the top two levels of the pyramid, at Levels 3 and 4, are six regional football association leagues. Each regional association operates its own respective top division (Level 3): Premier Division (Central FA), Premier Division (Eastern FA), Football Union (Eastern Counties), Premier Division (Northern FA), Premier Division (Southern FA), and Premier Division (Tobago FA). Some of these teams are semi-professional, but most teams are amateur. Only the Northern FA, Southern FA, and Tobago FA operate a second-tier division (Level 4), which contain only amateur teams.
Promotion and relegation[edit]
For example, here are the promotion and relegation rules for the top few levels of the Trinidad and Tobago football league system:
- TT Pro League (level 1, 9 teams): Top team becomes Champions of Trinidad and Tobago, (no promotion). No automatic relegation.
- National Super League (level 2, 16 teams): No automatic promotion, but teams may apply for admission into level 1. Bottom two relegated, to each club's appropriate regional football association league.
- Regional FA Leagues (level 3, 60 teams in 6 regional leagues): Top team in each football association's regional league compete in the promotion playoffs, with the top two teams gaining promotion. Each league has their own promotion and relegation rules.
Cup eligibility[edit]
Being members of a league at a particular level also affects eligibility for Cup, or single-elimination, competitions.
- FA Trophy: Levels 1–3
- TOYOTA Classic: Levels 1–2
- First Citizens Cup: Level 1
- Digicel Pro Bowl: Level 1
- Lucozade Sport Goal Shield: Level 1
- Super League Cup: Level 2
Beyond Level 2 the pyramid becomes regional and the cups become accordingly regional. Further down the pyramid is split on a football association basis, with each association having their own cups accordingly.
The system[edit]
The table below shows the current structure of the system. For each division, its official name, sponsorship name, and number of clubs is given. At levels 1–4, each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above it and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below it.
TT Pro League
National Super League
Central FA
Eastern FA
Eastern Counties
Northern FA
Southern FA
Tobago FA

Groton - The Norwich Free Academy football team beat Fitch on Friday, 40-14, thus making the game look like a rout.
The final result didn't necessarily show how tough Fitch made it for the Wildcats at times in an Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division game at Dorr Field. Nor did it show how hard the Wildcats made it on themselves.
NFA's talented duo of Boston College-bound Marcus Outlow and Khaleed Exum-Strong had little room to run in the first half. The smaller Falcons were also able to move the ball consistently.
Fitch trailed, 28-14, and had a second-and-6 from the Wildcats' 9 early in the fourth quarter.
Exum-Strong intercepted the ball in the end zone and returned it to the Falcons' 25.
Fitch was called for a personal foul, and its coaching staff protested that an illegal shift penalty called against it should have resulted in a dead ball foul. The penalty is not a dead-ball foul, however, according to the officials.
Outlow, who injured his ankle early in the game, hobbled for a 42-yard gain on the next play. He ran for an 11-yard touchdown two plays later.
Ramel Williams added a 4-yard touchdown run with over two minutes left.
The Wildcats were penalized nine times for 92 yards.
"While I'm not pleased in terms of the mistakes that we made and penalties, I'm pleased in our ability to finish," NFA coach Jemal Davis said.
Outlow ran 19 times for 136 yards with two touchdowns for NFA (2-0, 1-0), ranked third in The Day Top 10 state coaches' poll.
"Last year was the same thing - (Fitch) came out and punched us in the mouth," Outlow said. "We focused on being able to take that and respond well. It was just about the coaches making adjustments in the locker room at halftime."
Alex Beaudreault completed 4 of 13 passes for 136 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for the Wildcats. Colbey Davis (26 yards) and Williams (40 yards) caught the touchdowns.
Exum-Strong ran for a 10-yard touchdown. He also had two interceptions and a sack.
"What I was really impressed with in our guys is that we wore them down," Davis said. "In the end, we were staying consistent with our zone play, and we started gashing (them) because we knew we would wear them down with our physical presence."
Robert Duncan ran for a 1-yard touchdown and threw a 4-yard touchdown to Devante Anderson for Fitch (1-2, 0-1)
John Moscol ran 12 times for 78 yards for the Falcons and Bobby Johnston added 18 carries for 71 yards.
"The first half, we were moving the ball like we should, like we planned to," Fitch coach Jordan Panucci said. "The second half, we had some outside forces that disrupted our tempo and really knocked the winds our of sails that we couldn't control.
"They're a good team. I think we played them very well, I think we played them better than they expected. I'm proud of our guys."

yeah sorry but 93 years old you can,t trust the mind with anything,you ask me at that age its just the mind playing tricks.

To begin with, I am not a very religious person. As today was Mother's day, my mother went to visit her grandmother who is 93 years old and lives on her own.
When my mother came home she seemed bothered by something so I asked her about it and she told me that her grandmother, we'll call her Helen, claimed to be seeing demons a d hearing demonic voices at night before she goes to bed.
Helen is always very coherent and quite sharp, she usually only needs assistance when walking farther than about 200 feet.
She doesn't seem to be developing Alzheimer's or dementia so I don't believe that's the cause(but it very well could be, I'm looking at all the possibilities at this point)
