Dear Volunteer Diggers, Calico Early Man Site is the only archeology site in the Western Hemisphere ever deemed important enough to be worked by Dr. Louis S.B. Leakey. Project Director from 1964 until his death in 1972, Dr. Leakey knew that the thousands of artifacts found in this barren desert environment were eerily similar in appearance and manufacture to those he found in Africa. This striking similarity intrigued and mystified him. The implications for the presence of some of the earliest …

This is a group for all redheads, gingers, carrot tops, freckle faces, and firecrotches to meet, socialize and begin preparations for eventual world domination. Redheads are the ultimate minority, only 1-2% of the entire world is a redhead, and are often ridiculed even by their own communities, but deep down each one of us realizes that we are obviously the chosen people, superior in every way, meant to lead the world into a new tomorrow, one that is free from hatred, oppression, and if at all p …

We often hear these days that women are going to change the world and that we're the ones we’ve all been waiting for. But, we have to change ourselves in order to change the world. Entrenched patterns in our psyches and culture that go back generations too often dog our attempts to move beyond the status quo. Even with the breakthroughs of the last fifty years, old impulses, desires and beliefs still largely dictate our identities as women. While each one of us bears the weight of history, we al …

It's becoming increasingly clear that technology is reshaping our world in incredibly profound ways. Let's get together to discuss, think, argue and explore what this change means for our most deeply felt beliefs. What is the value/purpose/meaning of a human life in a world where we're increasingly outdated? I anticipate this group being a discussion/reading/movie watching group. I've got some authors I'd like to explore (Ray Kurzweil, Thomas Carlson, John Modern among others) and movies I want …

LOS ANGELES BABY BOOMER TENNIS TENNIS AFTER 40....WHEN LIFE BEGINS I read somewhere that age does not depend on years, but upon temperament and health. Some people are born old, and some never grow so. How many times have you thought it would be nice to get out and hit some tennis balls as you might have years ago? Could getting back into tennis without wooden racquets and finding players around your own age be just the spark to a healthier lifestyle we all want? Do you think all those people …
