http://www.jail4judges.org/national_001.htm Proposed Bill written for Congress by Republican Representative Ronald Branson. He currently represents in the 38th Assembly District of California. Branson has taken up the cause of cleaning up the courts, both state and federal, and has gained a national following with twenty-six states actively pursuing his legislation through state J.A.I.L. Chapters. He is constantly invited on the radio and to speaking engagements, and is among the most knowledgeable in this country on the issue of judicial corruption. His just being a Republican has me be a bit suspicious however, aside from that I see some very good points here being made and a direction in general that I firmly agree with. That being that in my opinion most judges are indeed corrupt these days and it does not take much first hand let alone research experience to realize this. We DO need to clean up the judiciary, and immediately at that. I would only caution people relative to the far rights political agendas. Christian dogma can certainly foul things up too. http://www.fija.org/ the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) A Fantastic organization!

The bibliography also includes a number of links to Web sites on the topic. Synesthesia is a specific condition that occurs when an individual who receives a stimulus in one sense modality simultaneously experiences a sensation in another. In the last two centuries, the subject has aroused the interest of many artists and scientists. The existence of synesthesia seems at odds with the common-sense worldview of five separate senses that channel impressions to our minds. Intrigued by this apparent anomaly of the senses, artists, psychologists and other scientists have explored and experimented with synesthesia in order to reveal how the senses are interrelated. Another URL to go to is http://www.multimediaplace.com/asa/ The mission of the American Synesthesia Association (ASA) is to foster and promote the education and the advancement of knowledge of the phenomena of synesthesia, and to promote and provide a means for the people who experience and/or study synesthesia to be in contact with each other. The ASA provides information to scientists, health professionals, academicians, researchers, artists, writers, musicians, lay persons and people who experience synesthesia. http://www.canyoncinema.com/contents.html Canyon Cinema has become synonymous with the California Bay Area independent and experimental film.

Female Genital Mutilation - A large, valuable site where you can learn
about this invasion of a humans Sexual Rights. Between eight and ten million women and girls in the Middle East and in Africa are at risk of undergoing one form or another of genital cutting. In the United States it is
estimated that about ten thousand girls are at risk of this practice. http://www.midwife.org/display.cfm?id=671 - American College of Nurse-Midwives article about Ceasarian sections - The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' (ACOG) recently released opinion that deems physicians ethically justified to perform elective cesareans without a medical reason has caused alarm for major women's health organizations. The opinion may deny women access to fully informed consent regarding one of the most controversial obstetrical procedures. With a U.S. cesarean rate exceeding 26 percent, and no definitive study on the benefits of cesarean delivery, it is startling to give physicians the go-ahead to perform non-medically justified surgery on women with normal pregnancies. Research shows that the risk of maternal death following cesarean section is five to seven times higher than vaginal birth. Complications during and after the surgery are many and not just for the mother. http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Chemtrails.html Chemtrails

Christopher Vogler's website for writers - He is a big admirer
of the late Joseph Campbell of "The Power Of Myth" fame and has made use of his studies in his book mentioned below.
I started "Storytech" (the website) to address the needs of writers for professional guidance on their works in progress. I also felt that the
"Hero's Journey" pattern that I had been experimenting with at the major studios was an ideal tool for analyzing the stories of consulting clients. Many people expressed the desire to have their work evaluated
by the methods described in my book, "The Writer's Journey". Our intention is to provide people with compassionate, supportive critiquing that will guide our clients to maximum success and satisfaction. We supply insider knowledge of
story structure, character, and marketing from experienced professionals who have been published and produced, and who have worked in story development at the highest levels. Hollywood and the publishing industry are
difficult to access and we want to make that a little easier. http://www.burningman.com Burning Man - A resource for Joy and Creativity - From their "What is Burning Man" page: Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.

Having to do with Animals/Resources http://www.sheldrake.org/papers/animals/index.html Rupert Sheldrake's website- On this page he looks into psychic pets. Atleast someone is on the ball here. A bit about him: From a very early age he was interested in plants and animals. He came to realize that the mechanistic theory of life was what Kuhn called a paradigm, a collectively held model of reality, a belief system. He showed that periods of revolutionary change involved the replacement of old scientific paradigms by new ones. And if science had changed radically in the past, then perhaps it could change again in the future I was very excited by that. He bergan to explore the holistic tradition in biology. Holistic science integrated direct experience and understanding. It didn't involve breaking everything down into pieces and denying the evidence of one's senses. One of his main concerns is the opening up of science. Another is exploring the connections between science and spirituality.
