Reflections on a Decade of PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION

featuring Benjamin Radford

Sunday, June 19th, 7 PM

Join writer and scientific paranormal investigator Benjamin Radford as he discusses the nature of “ unexplained mysteries” such as ghosts, Bigfoot, crop circles , and psychic powers. What does science say about the evidence for these topics? What is the nature of the “unexplained”? And why is there still debate about these issues? Radford will draw from case studies over a decade of personal investigations into these and dozens of other topics. Skeptics and believers alike will enjoy this interesting and informative talk. There will be plenty of time for audience Q&A.

Benjamin Radford is a research fellow for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer science magazine and author of five books. He has written over 500 articles on various topics, including urban legends, mass hysteria, mysterious creatures, and media criticism.

Radford is a columnist for Discover News, Livescience.com and Skeptical Inquirer. He has appeared on The Discovery Channel, CNN, National Geographic Television, the Learning Channel, and the Discovery Science Channel as well as MTV. The meeting will be held at the Joyce Beers Community Center (across the street from Trader Joe’s in the Uptown Shopping Center off Washington in Hillcrest). The address is 1230 Cleveland Avenue (92103), although the Joyce Beers Community Center faces Vermont Street. It is next door to the Aladdin Restaurant.

Donation requested to help defray expenses ($5 to $10)

Jay Murley (2/7/1936 – 2/14/2011)

jaymurley2 Jay Murley passed away this morning at about 8:30 AM at Scripps-Mercy Hospital. He was a Humanist, an LGBT and civil rights activist, and a self proclaimed “secular, fiscal conservative / social liberal” – but aside from all of that, and most importantly, he was my friend and many of yours. I feel lucky to have known him and thankful to have had him in my life for the comparatively short time that I had with him.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Jay. We love you and we’ll all miss you terribly.

We’ll be holding a Life Celebration for Jay at:

Sam Singleton – “A Comedy in Two Acts”

Feb09
2011
Written by Lisa

samsingleton Sam Singleton, Atheist Evangelist, is coming to San Diego.
Come to the one man performance of Sam’s gripping show.

Written by Roger Scott Jackson, “Patriarch & Penises” is subtitled “A Comedy in Two Acts.” In the first of those acts, Brother Sam recounts his youth among “tongues-speaking, snake-handling holy rollers” and subsequent “reversion” to atheism, before wrapping up with a scorchingly satiric deconstruction of the role of God and plight of atheists in America.

In Act II, Brother Sam teaches a “Bible Class” detailing the symbolic use of penises throughout the Scriptures. The performance itself lasts a little less than two hours including a 15 minute intermission. The material and language are adult in nature.

Annual Whale Watch / Jay’s 75th

Feb07

Written by Lisa

whaletail_theader By combining the end of HASD’s Humanist Conference with San Diego Prime Timers largest annual event, the Whale Watch, The Center Council, and adding my friends of the Center’s Monday Night Men’s Discussion Group, we took three years of inflation off the price tag! Then I am adding on the Center’s Monday Night Men’s Discussion Group at the same $29 (versus $32 or $35).

I EXPECT TO SEE DOLPHINS, PORPOISE, SEA LIONS, and a US Naval vessel or two doing maneuvers. If we don’t see whales, we get whale checks good for an added free trip!

This may prove my final WHALE WATCH so I can hope you can join me on my 75th Birthday trip!

Cash, debit or credit card at ticket counter.
Park along the Embarcadero or use your MTS Compass Card to park free a stop away from SANTE FE DEPOT.
Arrive about 9:00 AM. Departure is at 9:30 AM. We return by 1:30 PM.

Location:
1066 North Harbor Drive
San Diego, CA 92101
(between Broadway Street and Ash Street)
