Before the Moog synthesizer came along, Keith Emerson had been — like most keyboardists of the age — confined to the Hammond organ or the acoustic piano. He'd end up creating a sizeable chunk of Emerson Lake and Palmer legacy as he tested the parameters of this new instrument.
But first Emerson had to get his hands on a Moog. "I thought: 'Well, yeah, I really need one of these,'" Emerson says, as part of Moogfest Q&A. So, he contacted the Moog company, he says, telling them: "I thought I might get one of these for free. I've just formed a new band, it's called Emerson Lake and Palmer. I could promote this, I'll endorse it."
The Moog company, however, wasn't in the business of giving away its shiny new objects — and, in fact, hadn't even tested it yet in a concert setting. Emerson ended up getting a stern reply that said: "'Thank you for your request, but first of all, the Moog synthesizer is not generally recommended for live stage use,'" Emerson remembers. "'It's a complicated instrument, and I wouldn't recommend it. Furthermore, if your request is that you want one for free, seeing as the Rolling Stones paid for theirs, and the Beatles also paid for theirs, I see no reason why you shouldn't pay for yours.'
And so, Emerson ponied up — though, he says, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer were as yet unconvinced. "I forget how much it cost me, but it was a lot of money — and I don't think the rest of the band were that enthralled," Emerson says. "But, for my way of thinking, I made the right decision — because it did for me define the new way of sound. It opened up the possibilities of keyboards."

Hello, I'm back again with a new post after my little break from blogging. I was so thrilled to be asked by Lynnda at Oak House Studio to contribute to her blog as I do love Oak House Studio products, especially the stamps and Inks. The theme this month is colours – rainbows and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous vibrant colours to choose from in the Colour Chemistry inks range. To challenge myself, I thought I would try Stampbord, I've seen it, read about it but never tried it before, so today's project is my very first play. (I would also like to enter this card into the July Make It Take it Challenge over at Craft Stamper Magazine, which is an 'Anything Goes' theme this month)
I started by adding a colour wash of Paris Pink to the surface of the stampbord, then I used a wet brush to flick and tap French Lavender and Pumpkin inks randomly onto the surface, and dragged lines from some of the splashes using a 'pokey' tool.
I stamped a butterfly and heat embossed with the fabulous Silver detail powder. Added extra colour using a paint brush loaded with French lavender ink. Using the Triple Berry Purples inkpad to stamp 'Dream' under the butterfly and some random dottiness with a white pen and the stampbord panel was finished.
I used both Peacock Green and Jubilee Blue inks to create a colour wash background panel, flicked with water and then used a paper towel to dab and lift colour in places, adding extra texture by stamping with the little dotty textures stamp. Texture Element stamps were used on 2 corners to 'frame' the panel, the Triple Berry Purples inkpad for this and also added 'Follow Your' to top corner. I used a white pen again to highlight some of the stamping in the corner elements.
To assemble the card, I created a card blank by scoring & folding white leather card, I mounted the background panel onto black card and then to card front. The stampbord panel has also been matted onto black card before attaching to the card front. To finish I added a few bright sequins. I love the colours in this card, the way the Peacock Green really makes the Paris Pink 'pop', it's a combination that I find very uplifting. I think what I really like about Oak House Studio products is that you don't have to be the world's best stamper to achieve results you can be happy with, the products are such a great quality that you don't need the expensive stamping tools to achieve a good stamped impression, the inkpads are juicy and rich and the Colour Chemistry inks give fabulous results.

Today, on the third anniversary of the death of Father John Harvey, OSFS, co-founder of Courage, I am examining a topic close to my heart: what Father Harvey said and did about marriage involving a spouse with same-sex attraction (SSA).
Update (28 December 2013): In yesterday's version of this post, I overstated my case as to the lack of discussion of mixed-inclination marriages in Father Harvey's second book. I have updated that paragraph to reflect that Father did report other counsellors' findings about numbers with passing commentary about processes. Given that his second book was meant to expand his first, I continue to find the difference striking. I remain open to correction from those who are more knowledgeable about Father Harvey's thought.
The fact that homosexual practices have wrecked many marriages has caused a psychiatrist and a canonist to consider the possibility of making homosexuality an impediment to marriage.... Instead of more speculation about the confusion which the proposed canonical impediment would bring, it seems better to recommend another approach involving pastoral rather than canonical considerations. Efforts should be made to persuade genuine homosexuals and persons of confirmed bisexual tendencies to give up the idea of marriage and to practice perfect chastity in the world. To this end a practical program should be spelled out. Since there are different degrees of inversion and of apparent bisexuality, it will be necessary to adapt the pastoral approach to the specific type with whom one is dealing, and to go still further in the refinement of counsel in consideration of the individual's personal history.
("Homosexuality and Marriage," Homiletic and Pastoral Review [December 1961], 227–234; available at CatholicCulture.org)1
When Courage was established in 1980, the original members, who were pursuing celibacy, developed the Five Goals: Chastity, Prayer and Dedication, Fellowship, Support, and Good Example. The original wording of the Fourth Goal was
To be mindful of the truth that chaste friendships are not only possible but necessary in a celibate Christian life and to encourage one another in forming and sustaining them.
Father Harvey's first book, The Homosexual Person: New Thinking in Pastoral Care (San Francisco: Ignatius, 1987), gave his most comprehensive review of married persons with SSA and included seven brief case studies, one exceedingly positive.
From a psychological point of view I can find no explanation for the way Alex has turned his life around.... In my view it raises the question of whether the so-called constitutional homosexual can change his sexual orientation to the degree that he is capable of valid marriage. (p. 180)
Notably, though, this man had betrayed his marriage before a conversion during it – and his wife still did not know. Nowadays, one sees more and more couples entering marriage aware that at least one prospective spouse has SSA and/or a history of same-sex activity.
On the basis of pastoral experience and of research into other authors, I remain of the opinion that wherever I find strong homosexual inclinations marriage is inadvisable, and I discourage it. Yet I want to find more satisfactory solutions than we have. (p. 186, footnote 14)
From a previously sexually active person with SSA who now proposed to contract marriage, Father Harvey expected chastity of one year's duration.
Unless he has a strong physical attraction for his fiancée, and control over all sexual tendencies, he should not marry. Pastoral experiences reveal that where these conditions are not fulfilled, marriages do not last more than a few years. Often they begin well, but within a few years homosexual fantasy and activity often recur. (p. 185)
I believe it is pastorally consistent to discourage marriages before the reception of the sacrament where there are clear signs of homosexuality in either partner, but to do everything psychologically and spiritually possible to heal a marriage where one of the partners is homosexual. At the same time we cannot deny the right of the non-homosexual partner to seek divorce and annulment where the homosexual partner leaves or has been flagrantly unfaithful. (p. 188)
In 1990, EnCourage was founded for the spiritual support of parents of grown sons and daughters with SSA. Over time, the outreach has come to include any loved one who is seeking support – and there is a subgroup called EnCourage Spouses.
The Truth About Homosexuality: The Cry of the Faithful (San Francisco: Ignatius, 1996) was meant to expand on Father Harvey's previous book. It contained a lengthy fourth chapter on "Possibility of Change in Orientation" (pp. 69–114). Father Harvey surveyed numerous counsellors' and clinicians' approaches to minimizing SSA and facilitating development of opposite-sex attraction. For instance, notwithstanding his objection that Living Waters included only spiritual (as against psychological) approaches, Father Harvey praised Andy Comiskey for "demonstrat[ing] that some Christians can change their sexual orientation to the point where they are predominantly heterosexual" and for correctly "making union with Christ the primary objective" (p. 100).
Presumably those who choose to pursue what we now call "sexual orientation change efforts" (SOCE) do so in order to prepare for prospective marriages or to salvage damaged marriages. Yet in his second book Father Harvey did not apply his research to the dynamics of actual mixed-inclination marriages. Instead, he discussed attitudes and outcomes reported by other writers. Several accounts of treatment or spiritual programs indicate that a significant minority of participants with SSA later marry. A secular counsellor whose methodology contradicted Catholic morality reported that half of the mixed-inclination marriages ended. Father Harvey appreciated those programs which helped indidivuals to address their personal needs before discerning whether to pursue courtships and which held out the realistic expectation that clients would be likely to continue to have a degree of ongoing SSA. As to why Father Harvey did not elaborate cases as before, I will speculate here that he was being cautious because of his personal experience of situations where naive or overconfident individuals and couples had undertaken marriages that resulted in tragedy. Relative to his expansive treatment of marriage in his first book, here the treatment became more quantitative than qualitative.
In 2000, a Courage member called Tina, noting that Courage was also serving married members, persuaded Father Harvey to change the Fourth of the Five Goals to be inclusive of all Courage members, regardless of the form of chastity they were pursuing. He agreed. We will be forever grateful to them both. The Fourth Goal is now and has remained
To be mindful of the truth that chaste friendships are not only possible but necessary in a chaste Christian life; and to encourage one another in forming and sustaining these friendships.
As of 2003, when he and Gerard V. Bradley co-edited Same-Sex Attraction: A Parent's Guide (South Bend, IN: St. Augustine's Press), Father Harvey recognized that EnCourage needed to be even better. And significantly, in answering parents' questions he presented sexual abstinence as the norm for persons with SSA (p. 192). To parents worried that their sons and daughters would be lonely if chaste, he suggested chaste friendships and a strong personal prayer life, but once more he did not discuss mixed-inclination marriage (p. 193).
By 2007, Father Harvey's last book, Homosexuality & the Catholic Church: Clear Answers to Difficult Questions (West Chester, PA: Ascension Press) acknowledged the claim then being made by Dr Robert L Spitzer that religiously motivated clients were reporting changing from predominantly homosexual to predominantly heterosexual orientation (pp. 28–30). Nevertheless, Father Harvey continued to protect persons with SSA by fighting against making inclination change the goal. "The belief that a change in orientation is not a necessity is strongly held by Courage. Parents often want to 'fix things' or 'make things right.' This can be a false hope which does not take into consideration the condition and capability of their son or daughter." (p. 174) It is significant that Father Harvey again did not discuss mixed-inclination marriage.
Tomorrow I'll take a more personal look at Father Harvey's pastoral approach to a well-advised mixed-inclination marriage, as well as the present and future needs of the Church in this area.
In the meantime, if you're on Facebook, please visit the Father John F. Harvey, OSFS - Memorial Page. Father Harvey, pray for us!
1 With regard to terminology: Father Harvey began his pastoral work in the years when his counsellees were known as "inverts" and "anomalies." By the end of his life, he regretted having published a book with the title The Homosexual Person. For many reasons he had concluded that "person with same-sex attraction" was most suitable.
Since in the philosophical sense "orientation" suggests a direction that is rightly ordered in light of eternity, and experience suggested that SSA is not in every case innate and immutable, he also came to prefer to speak of "sexual inclination[s]" rather than "sexual orientation."
I am using quotations from 1961 through 2007 with their original language quoted and my contemporary terminology in my commentary. I cannot well make use, however, of Father Harvey's 1987 term "homosexual marriages," because in 2013 that might indicate something rather different! Given The Sheepcat's experience, we two don't care for "mixed orientation marriage." It's not perfect, but in light of Father Harvey's thought, we are using "mixed-inclination marriage" to describe a marriage between a man and a woman where one spouse experiences SSA.

During the Holidays, at war,
Soldiers wish to be home.
With all the blood and gore,
They can't stand being alone.
They're with their war buddies,
But that's not the same.
They want to be with their families,
Not involved in any war game.
As they fight for peace and freedom,
This Holiday Season we should pray;
That soon this war will be done,
And our troops will be safely home one day.

Every day can be a struggle ,
Whether you're a wizard or a muggle .
There will always be an evil villain,
Lurking around, corrupting your livin'.
You don't need a wand, spell or magic potion.
Just give the Lord your love and devotion .
With the good Lord on your side,
Face those demons with courage and pride.

From the moment of enlisting,
The story of a Soldier is beginning.
Leaving family and their comfort zone,
Many weeks of Boot Camp and missing home.
Learning discipline and Military knowledge,
Basic training and earning money for college.
During a dark and devastating time,
A Soldier stands on the front line.
Following orders and using combat skills,
Moving forward, weapon in hand, adding up kills.
With a heart of courage and bravery,
Fighting for democracy and ending slavery.
War is Hell and Hell is war!
What are they really fighting for?
Independence, freedom, the rights of citizens,
How does one make that decision?
This is a Soldier's story,
Out there defending Old Glory.

Living with hate is living in sin.
Open your heart and let others in.
Be a good friend to all others,
Not just your race, but all colors.
Making this a peaceful place,
Is to throw love at hate.
It sounds so absurd,
To still hear the N-word.
Sticks and stones may break bones,
But names cut even deeper.
In this World of troubling times,
There are far too many hate crimes.
If you don't like the opposite sex, but the same,
Know deep in your hearts there is no shame.
Those around you who think otherwise,
Are only listening to all of the lies.
Ignorance is hiding behind that gun,
Missing out getting to know someone.
Don't sit back or even hesitate,
Stand up and throw love at hate.

Hey Mister Jesus, man,
Would you please lend me a hand?
They beat me up on the way home,
I'm so scared and all alone.
Nobody wants to be my friend,
I just want all this pain to end.
I don't want to live anymore,
I'm ready to walk through Heaven's Door.
Hey My Child:
Remember that you're never alone,
I'm not ready to bring you home.
My hands are always reaching out,
There's no need to feel any doubt.
My faith and love in you is all around,
I'll pick you up when you're felling down,
You were born for a really good reason,
And that's what you need to believe in.

Living here in America is truly the best,
Wouldn't want to live in any of the rest.
When this country began,
It was known as the Free Land.
A place to be your own person,
To work, raise a family and have fun.
To not be afraid to speak,
To be strong, not weak.
A special place to live your own lives,
Husbands, children and wives.

The Adventures of Jonathan James (TREASURE MAP) The adventures of Jonathan James, The boy with two first names. He no longer wanted to play, With all of his toys and video games. Walking around his room very bored, Bumping his toe on a loose floorboard. He lifted it up and tossed it aside, And Bent down to look inside. To his amazement he couldn't believe, At what he happened to see. A black eye patch and black cap, And a worn out old treasure map. Following the directions and looking at the lake, Twelve steps east he had to take. With compass in hand, he found a big oak tree, Than from there he had to bend on one knee, To find a group of red rocks. That pointed where X marked the spot. Right behind the baseball dug out, "I'm getting closer!" he began to shout. From there he had to walk ten paces, And moved slowly not to miss any spaces. Than to his delight he saw the X Made from two big sticks. With shovel in hand he began to dig, Dirt flew everywhere and the hole got big. Excited about what he was going to find, Digging faster and faster, not wasting any time. "Clink!" the shovel hit and old metal box, It was rusted with two padlocks. The box looked so very old, Probably filled with diamonds and gold. After struggling for what seemed an eternity, The padlocks broke off and he could see, With eyes so big and wide. Jonathan James dumped out the contents inside. In the box was every young boy's dream, To find souvenirs from his favorite baseball team. Trading cards, a signed baseball and a Pittsburg Pirate's cap It was a miracle to find the treasure map.

The Adventures of Jonathan James (Playground Bully) The adventures of Jonathan James, The boy with two first names, Was being pushed around By the Bully on the playground. Too scared and embarrassed to tell anyone That he was being hurt by a bigger person. The next day J.J. didn't want to go to school So he lied about being sick, which wasn't very cool. His friends Bobby and Tracy were being bullied too. J.J. thought there's got to be something they could do, To stop the Bully in his school For most of the kids followed the Golden Rule. Jonathan James tossed and turned all night, Knowing he had to stand up for his rights. He confessed to his mom why he stayed home. She said, "On the playground you're not alone!" Jonathan James finally came up with a solution, He decided to start a Revolution. He gathered all of the kids on the playground, And the Bully they all did surround. You're not going to call us names, Or ruin our recess games. You're not going to hurt us anymore, This is our school, not just your's. By sticking together, not being alone The Bully got scared and ran all the way home. The children all clapped and cheered, On the playground there was nothing left to fear.

When someone who is HIV positive infects someone HIV negative by cumming inside them.
by Angelus69 January 04, 2006
Someone who purposefully infects you with HIV but doesn't tell you. Therefore, you go around infecting all these other bimbos without knowing you've given them the gift of HIV.
The fucking bitch Sarah from work is a giftgiver (and an excellent one at that). How many people have you given the gift to Sarah??? How many other needless victims are out in the world?!? You insane bitch! You know how hard it was for ME to tell my children that papa has the HIV and now my oldest son has to get checked (don't ask...)!!!
by kiss my love area May 12, 2015
1. Someone who has an STD and sleeps around a lot. 2. Someone who may or may not have an STD but is a whore and is always sleeping around.
That girl is the biggest gift giver, she gives the gift that keeps giving.

What ever fag bug chaser is looking for; a person with AIDS to infect them.
Dave was looking for that special gift giver last night.
by Dirk Diggler July 25, 2003
Facetiously, a person who is obviously very ill and should stay home and not spread his "gift" around in public places, such as the office, the movie theater, etc.
Every winter, Ron becomes a gift giver---there are always at least two or three people who come down with the flu after he puts his germy paws all over the file cabinets! Why the f*** doesn't he stay home?!

Box Office Report: 'New Year's Eve,' 'The Sitter' Lead Another Soft Weekend
Garry Marshall's ensemble holiday pic tops Friday office with $5.1 million, but underperforms and Jonah Hill's R-rated comedy places second for the day with $3.7 million.
Garry Marshall's star-packed ensemble pic New Year's Eve finished Friday with a tepid $5.1 million, diminishing chances that the movie will open to $20 million. Instead, the movie is looking a $15 million debut.
The Warner Bros. and New Line film still came in No. 1 for the day, followed by 20th Century Fox's new R-rated comedy The Sitter with $3.7 million. Headlining Jonah Hill in his first starring role, Sitter is eyeing a $10 million weekend.

New Year's Eve and The Sitter are leading another soft weekend at the domestic box office, which could be down from last year by as much as 8 percent.
Heading into the weekend, New Year's Eve had been projected to gross $20 million or higher in its debut. While that's far less than the $72 million bow of Marshall's Valentine's Day over the four-day Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend in 2010, Warner Bros. expects the film to have an especially strong multiple and play through New Year's Day since it's the only holiday romantic comedy.
New Year's Eve, which cost $26 million to make, includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Lea Michele, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Hilary Swank and Seth Meyers.

New Year's Eve received a B+ CinemaScore, while The Sitter, which cost under $25 million to make, received a C+.
The two new films knocked The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn--Part 1 from its top perch after ruling the box office for three weekends. On Friday, Breaking Dawn placed No. 3, grossing $2.5 million for a domestic cume of $259.3.
Disney's The Muppets came in No. 4, grossing an estimated $1.7 million for a North American cume of $60.4 million.
Martin Scorsese's Hugo placed No. 5 as it expanded into a total of 2,600 theaters, grossing $1.6 million for a total $28.9 million. Paramount is distributing the film.
Sony's holiday day film Arthur Christmas enjoyed a stellar hold, falling only 13 percent on Friday to $1.4 million for a cume of $28.3 million.
Fox Searchlight's The Descendants followed with $1.3 million as it upped its theater count to 876 for cume of $20.6 million.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
It was almost 2 1/2 years ago that a seven-month-old baby came to live with us. It's a story we plan to tell him every year on "Gotcha Day": The foster agency was out of cars, and we couldn't wait one more day, so Mommy left work and took a livery cab to outer-borough New York with only a stuffed sea lion and a newly purchased car seat, while Daddy hurried to assemble a nursery at home, after buying everything in one frantic day at Target.
And the part of the story I expect he'll probably like most: That when Daddy ran down to help Mommy and the caseworker carry the car seat up the stairs, and got a look at his son for the very first time, he instantly uttered the same words twice: "He's perfect. He's perfect."
And he was.
I'm sure every parent finds their child extraordinary, but since I hadn't given birth to him I felt I maintained some measure of objectivity. And his specialness was routinely verified by outsiders -- yes, he was insanely cute, and eventually quite bright, and athletically coordinated, and especially social and verbal. His big personality attracted attention everywhere we went. Today, we can't walk a block from our house without stopping to talk to one of his many neighborhood "friends." He is a joy; I love being his mother.
We'd expected an older child, been prepared through our certification training for the worst kinds of behavioral problems, a child who was grieving a deep and terrible loss, a child who wanted to be anywhere but with us. To be handed instead this beautiful, healthy infant seemed both more and less complicated. We threw out the spare toothbrush and Jell-o pudding cups we'd bought in anticipation of a 10 or 12-year-old's arrival. I purchased the Dr. Spock book and crammed.
We loved our son before we even met him, from that first agency call when we knew only his age and name. After that first night, which we spent repeatedly creeping into his room to make sure he was still breathing, we only fell harder and deeper. We knew immediately that if we ever got the option to adopt him, there was no way he was leaving.
The details of my son's story are his to share, so I'll say only that yesterday, when we were finally able to officially adopt the child we've loved unreservedly for almost two-and-a-half years, it was the culmination of a long and emotional process.
It was almost unnervingly simple in the end. We verified our signatures on the adoption papers, we checked the spelling of his new full name ("That's my name!" he yelled in the middle of the serious and silent courtroom, by far my favorite moment of the proceedings.) There were no magic words or oaths said -- the judge simply signed some papers and announced that the adoption was complete. It all took about 10 minutes.
I don't think I've fully processed it yet, although I did feel the lifting of a deep anxiety I'd gotten so used to that I no longer realized it was there. For the first time, I am my son's mother in the eyes of the law. There will be no more home visits, no more caseworkers peering in my cupboards and checking my carbon monoxide detector. No more sitting in the emergency room waiting for the state to grant "consent to treat" while my child burns up miserably with a 104-degree fever. No more asking permission to leave the state, no more background checks required to leave my son alone with a member of my family for five minutes. He is now as much mine as if I'd given birth to him myself.
As long and difficult as the process was, I hope to foster and adopt more children in the future. Whenever I look at my son, in all his precious perfection, I can't help but think about the 14,000 other children in care in New York City alone. It hurts me to think about, just as it's hurt every time I've had to say "no" when my agency has called with a second child who needs a home. I wish I could take in all 14,000 children. I hate that my resources are limited, that I can do so little.
But while I don't have the ability to adopt 20 kids, what I do have is a huge platform from which to promote foster parenting. So while I would never judge anyone for the personal choice to have biological children, and foster parenting isn't for everyone, I want to encourage you to at least consider the option. The state pays the child's expenses, it's free to adopt, and if you choose the foster-to-adopt track, you will only receive children who are already available for adoption, eliminating the risk of falling in love with a child who will then be taken away.
If you have questions about fostering or adopting through the foster system, leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them in a follow-up post.
Not being able to write about my son while he was in care actually turned out to be a blessing, because it showed me that I want to respect my son's privacy by not writing about him in the future. (Boundaries! I'm learning them!) But I wanted to write this one post, to share both the joy I am feeling right now and my experience with fostering in hopes of encouraging others to open their homes to a child who needs one.
Adopting my son is the best thing I've ever done. He is, quite simply, a gift from God, well beyond my wildest dreams. Often, people tell us how lucky our son is to have us. I appreciate the sentiment, but they're wrong. We are the lucky ones.

Macs and PCs
To compare Mac and PC is not that difficult. If you haven't read part 1 of the series yet, be sure to do so. Part 1 features an overview of Mac vs. PC computers.
So, if you had to pick one, which would you choose? A Mac or a PC?
Below is a brief Mac vs. PC review and overview. I will list as many pros as possible about each one.
- slide 2 of 4
Why Macs are Better
- Macs give you the ability to run OS X and Windows both (legally).
- Macs work great with other Apple components such as the iPhone, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, etc...
- Macs are very simple to use.
- Macs are less prown to computer viruses, although they can get viruses.
- Purchasing a Mac gives you Apple Store support.
- Apple uses quality parts to manufacture Macs.
- Macs are trendsetting, designed well, and visually appealing.
- Macs come with better software, out of the box (iLife).
- Macs give you out of the box access to the iTunes Store, if you are an iPod or iPhone user.
- Out of the box, Macs are not loaded with trials and additional software.
- Apple has top of the line phone support.
- slide 3 of 4
Why PCs are Better
- You can build a PC from the ground up, picking each individual component. PCs give you maximum customizability.
- PCs are generally cheaper in price. You can get the same processor, amount of RAM, and hard drive capacity for much cheaper with a PC.
- Branded PCs are a wide market. You have many options when it comes to choosing a PC: Dell, HP, Gateway, etc... There are really only 6 types of Mac computer: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, iMac, and Mac Pro.
- PCs have better software compatibility. You can find practically any software for PC. Macs are more limited in selection.
- PCs generally have better backwards compatibility. You can run Windows 7 on a 5 year old PC. You cannot run Snow Leopard on a Power Mac G5.
- More people use PCs. Thus, PCs have a larger support community behind them.
- The majority of businesses use PCs.
- PCs are better for gaming.
- PCs have more compatible accessories than Macs.
- PCs are more upgradable.
- PCs are open source.
- slide 4 of 4
To compare Mac and PC... Which one is better? It's all personal preference. I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the best answer. In the above review, you can see that both of them have some great advantages. Some people like Macs better, some people like PCs better. Thus, some people absolutely hate Macs, and some people absolutely hate PCs.
It's all an opinion, a preference.
I will however, give you my opinion. As for myself, I'm a Mac. That's just what I prefer. I like Macs because I believe that they are simpler to use, and I like the designs that Apple comes up with. I would rather use OS X than Windows. That may change in the future. But as of now, my opinion is that OS X is a better operating system than Windows.
I will say, I would not want to give up Windows though either. I use Windows with VMware Fusion just as much, if not more, than OS X. Windows 7 is a great OS.
Are you a Mac or a PC? Which operating system do you use? Why do you believe it's best?... Linux???
Which is Better - Mac or PC?
This four part series details the simple differences between Macs and PCs, the advantages of Mac vs PC, and concludes with which is better, Mac or PC.

Mozilla and Intex launch the cheapest smartphone – Cloud FX in India
by Aug 28, 2014 10:58 pm0
Mozilla, known for the Firefox browser, entered the Indian smartphone market with its 'super' low cost smartphone, Cloud FX, priced at a mere $33 ( INR 1999). The company partnered with Indian company Intex, for the manufacture of these handsets which are being sold online at India's largest e-marketplace, Snapdeal.
The phone runs on Mozilla's Firefox operating system and users can download games and other content from its own application store, as told Jane Hsu, Mozilla's Taipei-based Director of product marketing. This would also warm the market up towards the mobile version of their web browser, Firefox.
The Cloud FX has a 3.5-inch with a 320×480-pixel capacitive HVGA display. It is powered by a 1 GHz Spreadtrum processor and sports a 2-megapixel camera. It has a 1250 mAh battery which gives it 4 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time. It runs the web apps through HTML5 which consumes lesser memory. The phone comes preloaded with Facebook and Twitter. However, WhatsApp can be obtained through a third-party app source. Experts have considered this to be a case of 'App-gap' which translates as the lack of applications on cheaper smartphones as compared to those based on Android systems.
Success of the phone would be tug of war between the low price and low end features. However, Mozilla has aimed to target the first-time smartphone buyers who are intimidated by high costs and advanced features of other smartphones. The Cloud FX aims to be a low cost source of internet in everyone's pocket, especially those who do not have access to computers.
Let us see if Mozilla partners with some Chinese mobile manufacturer to launch its phones in China. But till now there has been no news of Mozilla OS smartphones coming to China.

RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
Don't Satanists get offended by this?
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
Sadly Billy Ray Cyrus went to my college. He was too stupid to graduate though. Trust me this place doesn't make people stupid in fact I was a christian before coming here and now I am an atheist.
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
Hey, The Sixth Glass.
I don't think saying he's under attack from Satan is a shifting of responsibility. Satan is simply temptation. The attack is not what causes damage. Allowing him in is what causes the damage. It's in submitting to temptation that allows the attack to succeed. All he's saying is that he allowed that temptation in and it destroyed his family.
Hey, Free Thinker.
Quote:He could be a hypocrite for all we know trying to make a sad story about his life for publicity (or not, he could be a good guy).
That's Glen Beck worthy.
You could be a cannibal and a human trafficker for all we know (or not, I don't know).
Peace and Love and Empathy,
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
I actually agree with Ghost on this. I don't see what he said as being any big deal and I took it more as a man trying to make sense of what has happened to his life.
In a similar vein, has anyone followed the Justin Bieber "controversy"? The thing that pisses me off the most about it is I hate even being aware that this kid exists. I'm not his audience and while I don't begrudge him making a living singing or wetting the draws of 13 year old girls, I'd have been much happier if he did it completely outside my sphere of notice. But, since it has managed to work its way into my scope of knowledge, all I can now say is "what the hell is wrong with people?"
Is it such a tragedy that this kid has an opinion that does not account for every potential victim on the planet and is based on his religious convictions? And, what did he do that was so awful? He answered a question. And, the question was not anything about him being any kind of role model: someone asked him about abortion and he gave his view. Ignoring the question of why this is even news, why can't the kid just have his opinion? He's not sitting on the steps of a government legislative body demanding his view be law, he is a 16 year old kid who responded to a question with an honest opinion.
People really need to get a grip. And, if anything, I've now got respect for the little twerp for standing up for what he believes in. I'd still rather be dipped in honey and tied to an anthill then listen to his music though.
I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

Many christians think that satan is a real living being. Also, everyone is tempted. Billy Ray Cyrus is blaming others for his problems and not taking responsibility for his actions. That is very obvious from post 1.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Richard Dawkins comes to me, speaking words of reason, now I see, now I see.
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
Hey, No. J.
I don't see how he's not taking responsibility.
Quote:Do you wish Hannah Montana had never happened?
Sounds like he regrets a decision HE made.
As for Bieber, good God damn people will sensationalise anything.
Justin Bieber had probably the best answer that anyone could have given and an answer that most people are incapable of.
Quote: I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that.
Anyone who is shitting on him is an absolute moron. This kid is more enlightened at 16 than any of these vulture pundits ever will be. They could form a gang and they still wouldn't be able to grasp how wise one needs to be to admit that whatever one might think of a situation, one cannot judge it unless they have walked a mile in those people's shoes and how utterly idiotic they look condemning a boy incapable of condemning other people.
Peace and Love and Empathy,
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
I'll be honest, I only read the title of the thread before chuckling. I don't really have anything to contribute other than my belief that Billy Ray Cyrus is and has always been an idiot, and that his daughter is on a path to becoming the next Lindsay Lohan.

Refering to the idea that there has always been a battle between good and evil. This is not an acceptance of one's own faults but is passing blame. Also, what does pointing out a sign saying "Atheists United" have anything to do with him accepting responsibility for his actions? Absolutely nothing. So, I don't see how he is taking any responsibility for his actions. If he were he would not have mentioned either point that I have just stated.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Richard Dawkins comes to me, speaking words of reason, now I see, now I see.
RE: Billy Ray Cyrus Equates Atheists With Satan
First off, again, I understand that this guy is trying to make sense of his life and his situation. I understand that because he is religious, he is attempting to make sense of it through his religious framework. I also agree that at the very least, he is not shifting the entire responsibility to an unseen agent of evil (Satan). But part of the reason this article intrigued me was not so much the person specifically (Cyrus) but the effect of religious faith on such a person.
Obviously it is complete and utter speculation, but again I'm wondering if this guy would have made better decisions and put in more effort to be a better parent if he was minus the religious belief. Believers such as Cyrus, when faced with a decision such as "do I move my family to Hollywood and allow my pre-teen daughter to star in her own Disney show," would most likely pray and seek God or the Holy Spirit's guidance. Upon thinking such a decision was "in God's hands," then you're going to "feel" something was right (or maybe wrong). At that point, would this belief that someone else was basically in control cause you to be less attentive? Less focused? And then if things don't work out you can feel at least a little better thinking that the forces of evil were against you, perhaps you were deceived, et cetera. I'm not blaming the guy, I just think such mentality is unfortunate and ultimately detrimental.
And the other part, the part that raised my ire a bit (but perhaps undeservedly so) was the part about the sign. This sign was not even one of the big billboards or part of some specific atheist awareness campaign. It was not a direct challenge to anyone's faith or religion (ie - the American Atheists' "You KNOW it's just a myth"), this was just an Adopt a Highway sign that was sponsored by an atheist group. And his mental reaction is not even "oh those poor lost people" or "I feel sorry for them (atheists)" it was: "It could have easily said 'You will now be attacked by Satan.' 'Entering this industry, you are now on the highway to darkness...'" Again, maybe it's simply edited to give it more punch, but it seems pretty obvious that the guy is equating this silly sponsored by sign as a message from the dark side.
My point is, based on his religious framework, I get it, but I still think it's utterly ridiculous. And as far as considering his humanity, I am, and that's my point. Humanity should not be subject to this belief that we're all pawns in some cosmic game of good vs. evil.
Also, anyone who had a mullet and sang a single like Achy Breaky Heart has no humanity left anyways. ZING!
Our brains deceive us on a regular basis, so we have to find ways to fight back.

Opinie uczestników Work & Travel
Laura Kucal, Poland
Work and travel program was the biggest adventure in my life. (So I decided to do it twice;)) I met people who will be my friends till the end of my days. I had chance to learn about American culture and people who are living there. Actually I felt in love with USA after I visited the most known places like New York City, Miami Beach, Niagara Falls, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles… Now I know that knowledge which I took from traveling is more important than this from books. I can recommend this program for everyone, I don't know anyone who was disappointed with this trip. So come on, discover the world!
Maria Kulak, Poland
It has always been my dream to see USA. Thanks to the Work and Travel program and CIEE foundation my dream could come true. I worked in Cedar Point Amusement Park, where I met amazing people, improved my English skills, had fun while working and which enabled me to have funds to see places like New York, Washington, Las Vegas, San Francisco and many more. I highly recommend taking part in this program. It most certainly was the adventure of a lifetime!
Brygida Jackowiak, Poland
"First thought when I am thinking about Work & Travel program? Happy! I was incredibly happy, almost every day I was in a good mood. I didn't care about money I just was happy. In my opinion people over there are completely different. I mean, right now I can see differences between us – European people and American people. The thing is when you live you can see that almost everything is possible there! And after it you come back home and you still think in this way. It's amazing cause you may share it with people. This is one of the best things after Work & Travel program. Probably I will sound boring, anyway I improved my English skills and I am more open-minded than before. Why? That's pretty easy! When you live over there you have to communicate in their language, everybody ask you about your country, culture, tradition. Americans are really interested in Europe and our life. I am sure that decision about Work & Travel program was completely right. When your Chinese guide left you in unknown city, when your luggage is totally broken and are already late, when you missed the bus because it came earlier than it should and you have to plan everything from the beginning and buy second time the same tickets – everything makes you stronger. That's why I feel richer – it's not connect with money – I feel more comfortable, self-confident like I know wherever I will live I will deal with it…"
Natalia Bazyluk, Poland
What is my experience about W&T? First I had to ask myself:
am I responsible
am I willing to take responsibility for other people's lives?
am I prepared to never ever let my guard down?
am I willing to stay in top shape?
If the answer to all these was yes, then ask yourself,
am I willing to have one of the best part-time jobs ever?
Then i realized that I would like to be a lifeguard.
That what happened with me on my first Work & Travel program. I became a lifeguard in USA and then my life changed. Work and Travel USA is a program of international cultural exchange that allowed me to meet students from different countries of the world and broaden my mind in many different aspects of life! The primary purpose of the program is to acquaint foreign students with the culture and life of modern America and the distribution of other cultures among its inhabitants, but another purpose is definitely unforgettable memories and experience about: yourself-your personality, meeting new friends and new culture what any money cannot buy. There is no words to say how valuable Work & Travel program is – you just need to: go there, live there and feel it and sum up how much you gain !
Natalia Osowska, Poland
Work & Travel USA was an amazing life adventure. Under this program, I went to the US on 3 different occasions. Every trip was different, what allowed me to experience various aspects e.g.
– I've traveled all over the country and got to see many wonderful places – In my whole life, I hadn't seen as much as I did during those summer times.
– I've learned how to be more independent, responsible, and resourceful.
– I met interesting people, their great stories, and now I have my own stories to tell.
– I believe, W&T USA made me more ambitious. I realized there are plenty of opportunities and I just need to try hard to achieve my goals.
I will always have the beautiful memories. What's more, I know that Work & Travel USA brought the unexpected and changed my life. Thanks to this, I am very happy about who I am and where I am today.

text: |The Dow Filmtec BW30-400 reverse osmosis membrane element is the best choice when the highest quality permeates is required. It is considered as the first 400 square foot membrane elements available on the market. It is widely used in new equipment and retrofits where system capital and productivity are the major factors. Its advanced automated manufacturing technology results in the most consistent Dow BW30-400 performance element-to-element and year-after-year. It is capable of delivering high flow and high rejection without being chlorinated during the manufacturing process. This is one reason why FILMTEC elements are more durable and may be cleaned over a wider pH range (pH 1 - 13) than other RO elements. Dow Filmtec Bw30-365 Brackish Water Industrial Reverse Osmosis Membrane, Dow Filmtec Bw30-2540 Brackish Water Industrial Reverse Osmosis Membrane, and Dow Filmtec Bw30-4040 Brackish Water Industrial Ro Membrane are the similar products.

UNI condemns North Korea missile tests
North Korea claims to have tested a massive hydrogen bomb capable of being fitted on to a long-range missile
UNI Global Union roundly condemns North Korea for continuing with its irresponsible nuclear missile tests. North Korea claims it detonated a hydrogen bomb over the weekend which could be fitted to a long-range missile.
UNI Global Union General Secretary Philip Jennings said, "UNI wishes to add its voice of condemnation to those of South Korea and Japan, as well as other UN nations, calling for North Korea to halt missile tests which have the potential to provoke war.
"We join with the ITUC in urging dialogue to resolve issues on the Korean Peninsula and an end to actions which could see the region deteriorate into chaos."
The size of the hydrogen bomb, believed to have been tested over the weekend by North Korea, is thought to be three times as powerful as the bombs that destroyed Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945. UNI has an understanding of the horrors of these events, having brought more than 2000 unionists to Nagasaki in 2010 for our World Congress, allowing them to gain an insight into the human misery of nuclear war.
UNI also receives an annual visit from the Nagasaki Peace Messengers. This group of high school students supported by relatives of the victims of the atomic bombings bring their message of peace to the United Nations in Geneva and present a petition of around 2 million signatories calling for a world free from nuclear weapons. Their recent visit was particularly poignant at a time when the United Nations adopted a Treaty Against Nuclear Weapons but when tensions have been escalating globally because of North Korea's nuclear tests and President Trump's verbally aggressive response.
Pyongyang has persistently defied United Nation's sanctions and international pressure by developing nuclear weapons and testing missiles, and the provocations have intensified. In recent weeks North Korea has conducted intercontinental ballistic missile tests, sending a missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean. North Korea has also threatened to fire missiles at the US Pacific territory of Guam.
The United Nations Security Council is to hold an emergency meeting to discuss its response. South Korea and Japan's leaders have agreed to push for a stronger UN resolution on North Korea, according to South Korean presidential sources.
UNI Global Union is dedicated to working towards a peaceful world and with that goal in mind, 'Peace' will feature strongly on the agenda of our next World Congress in Liverpool in June 2018. UNI is a proud member of ICAN, the International Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons, and the IPB, the International Peace Bureau.
UNI GS Philip Jennings is currently in Japan to meet with affiliates; the Korean Peninsula question will be on the agenda.

Gaspari Nutrition has had a fairly big 2016 so far, announcing the arrival of a range of new and previously shelved supplements including SuperPump 250, Plasmajet and Halodrol. Another supplement the veteran company is bringing back is their whey protein isolate supplement IntraPro.
Gaspari Nutrition IntraPro Review & Ingredients
Having changed its name to IsoFusion before it was completely abandoned, IntraPro is a whey protein isolate product that is the quick absorbing, post workout cousin of MyoFusion. Each 32g serving contains 24g or protein from whey protein isolate (WPI), which is slightly more than the original version. It's unsure whether or not they'll be any other active constituents for the protein or whether the other 8g is just for flavours, sweeteners and mixing agents, but we'll be sure to update you as soon as the full panel is released.
Gaspari Nutrition IntraPro Flavours, Taste & Mixability
So far, we know that IntraPro will be released in Chocolate Milk flavour, however we do expect at least two more flavours in Vanilla and Strawberry. Gaspari protein powders have always been quite tasty and milkshake like and we don't expect too much of a change from the norm for the return of IntraPro.
Gaspari Nutrition IntraPro Release Date
No official release dates have been set for the return of the Gaspari Nutrition IntraPro, however as it's a return rather than a new product release, we don't expect you'll have to wait too long. It'll most likely be released and available sometime in late August or September 2016.

2013 Tilton Hill Estate Pinot Noir 750ml
Deep violet in color, this alluring and hedonistic wine has amazing extract and purity of fruit focus. Vibrant fruit aromas of wild strawberry and raspberry soufflé harmonize with sassafras, forest floor and East-Indian spice notes. Heady aromas lead into equally vibrant flavors of Bing cherry, black raspberry and white pepper. On the palate the juicy red fruits compliment the velvet-like texture and spicy finish.
Wine expert Ray Isle included Benovia in his December 2016 story for Food & Wine Magazine about the perfect Russian River Valley get-away.
"Like many top wineries, Benovia isn't open for drive-by visits. But winemaker Mike Sullivan's elegant, single-vineyard Pinots and Chardonnays are more than worth the effort it takes to send an email to make an appointment in advance. The selection changes frequently, but if the winery is pouring its gorgeous 2013 Tilton Hill Pinot Noir, we believe a silent high-five to yourself would be appropriate."

Scottsdale, AZ – November 14, 2016: With attacks that are now compromising online shops to scan credit card information, it seems as though encryption might not be the answer to keeping network data safe, says Jupiter Support senior tech analyst Vinay Patel.
This was brought to light after a Dutch researcher reported that almost 6,000 online shops, most of them built with the Magento content management system, have malicious code that intercepts and steals payment card data during online transactions. Among the websites was the online storefront of the U.S. National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).
His research also showed that in many cases these compromises go undetected for up to a year. This has to do with the poor understanding of the problem by webmasters who believe that if their sites use HTTPS or a third-party payment processor the customer data is safe.
Upon investigation by web security firm Sucuri of a shop compromise that wasn't detected by automated scans, it was detected that one of the site's core files, called Cc.php, had recently been modified.
Malicious code was found to be designed to steal payment card data and stored inside an image file. "This technique of hiding data inside files with non-suspecting extensions, such as image files, is not new and is intended to avoid detection," said Patel.
"To obtain the stolen numbers, the attacker would not even have to maintain access to the site," Sucuri researcher Ben Martin said in a blog post. "The image was publicly accessible. All the attacker would need to do is download the image from the website just like any other and view its source code."

Sephora by OPI Yellow My Name Is Betsey
11 comments:
I love yellow! It probably doesn't look the greatest with my skintone either but I don't care because it's such a fun color!ReplyDelete
Yellows and I usually don't get along too well, but I keep buying them, ever hopeful. :)ReplyDelete
I only own 4 yellows, I just blogged about them yesterday LOL! In general, if they are brights they look good on me, but pale ones? Noway!ReplyDelete
- MirjamJune 27, 2012 at 3:51 PM
I just bought OPI The "It" Color, and I still have to make up my mind about it: the idea of yellows is fun, funky and a really good match to the funky prints in coral, yellow, mint and blues in my wardrobe right now... And I love the effect with black and white! But I needed 3 coats and the result is still a bit streaky, and in certain light it just seems like an odd colour on my nails.ReplyDeleteReplies
Generally I really can't do mustard colors on me. If something pulls too mustard it looks absolutely horrible. The only one I've been able to keep in my stash is Sally Hansen Forsythia. Even though it does look horrible on me, I haven't been able to get rid of it.Delete
That dress!! =D Looove it!ReplyDelete
I love yellow nails too. I like putting Revlon Pineapple Fizz over a normal yellow like the one you're wearing. Hides the streaks and adds sparkles and a pineapple scent!Replies
I love those Revlon Fizz polishes! I have Colada Fizz and it's to die for.Delete
I am loving bright yellow and orange polish right now. I have Bettina Orange and Yellow-yes those are their names and they rock! The formula is ok-but I think all light colored polish has issues. Got to love the flamingos!ReplyDelete
yellow is such a bold color!!ReplyDelete
Yellow is bold and totally different colour.But looking here so nice and fantastic.Gorgeous post..ReplyDelete
It looks cute! Thought I guess Revlon Electric looks better on you, idk.ReplyDelete
That dress print... I'm a little jealous.
I love, love, love your comments, guys! Thanks so much for leaving them! I try to respond to questions either in the comments section or in forthcoming posts, so check back later!

Students at Creston (Iowa) Community High School have been disciplined after a photo showing five males wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods circulated on social media Wednesday morning.
The photo, posted on Twitter and Facebook, shows the people in front of a burning cross. One of the males is holding a rifle with a scope on it, and another is holding a red flag that may be a Confederate flag.
Principal Bill Messerole said the five people in the photo are students. He called the issue a "student discipline issue that has been dealt with." He would not specify how the students were disciplined and that the investigation into the incident was continuing.
"We took immediate action around 8 this morning and discipline was handed out," Messerole said.
"We felt the same way that anyone would looking at that photo – just kind of, 'Oh, my goodness.'
"This is embarrassing for everyone," Messerole said. "This is not a good reflection of Creston High School. This is not a reflection of our community."
Creston, a city of about 7,800 people, is 104 miles east of Omaha.
Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer said the department is aware of the photo but is not involved in an investigation.
"As of right now, the school is handling it internally," Ver Meer said, adding that the photo likely was taken outside of Creston city limits.
Trey Cheers, a 2017 graduate of Creston Community High School, said the photo was sent to him by a friend, who received it from the student who took it. He posted it on Twitter, writing, "… Makes me embarrassed to be from this town."
"I was disgusted," Cheers said in a phone interview. Creston, he said, is a "loving" community.
"It's just sad that one picture can ruin our reputation."
Messerole said he can't confirm if any or all of the people in the photo were football players.
Tucker Flynn, a senior on the Creston football team, posted a statement Wednesday that said, in part, "The 5 individuals that were involved with the picture are clearly in the wrong and they will face the consequences eventually. But I can promise everyone that as a whole our football team and community aren't about that. The actions made by a small group shouldn't represent the entire football team and community. I'm proud to be (a part) of what this team is actually about and it's sad to see something like this ruin a rich tradition we carry."

UFO + CR-design awarded highest prize in shenzhen super city competition
UFO + CR-design awarded highest prize in shenzhen super city competition
all images courtesy of urban future organization and CR-design
urban future organization (UFO) and CR-design have worked alongside a small team of computing and regenerative design experts from sweden's chalmers technical university to envision the shenzhen bay super city. the collaboration has resulted in 'cloud citizen', a project that has been awarded the highest prize in the skyscraper competition. the proposal calls for a green, hyper dense, three-dimensional community in a plot of land across from hong kong. according to the architects, 'cloud citizen is as much a strategy for how to build future cities capable of giving back more to the environment than they cost, as it is a singular iconographic mega building complex with an identifiable and striking skyline giving character and hope to the vision of a greener future enabled by human enterprise.'
definition of the boardwalk and waters edge
the brief asked for a 170-hectare financial district including three high-rise structures, several cultural buildings, as well as a landscape linking to the surrounding context. more specifically, the team believes that their approach can become a central hub of activity that can rival other locations around the world such as la defence paris, canary wharf london, ECB frankfurt area, and the presnensky district in moscow. the new interconnected site acts as the next step in the development of the area from being production-oriented towards a modern service-oriented, high-tech, green metropolis.
the silhouette from across the bay
the work confronts the traditional way of building large cities and stretches the borders of personalization, communication, and densification of architecture deemed necessary to approach the ideal of regenerative design. aligning with these ideals, the hub offers a spatially and programmatically diverse alternative to prevalent high rise monocultures. instead, it consists of one mega structure creating a third dimension of the city reaching 680 meters into the sky.
looking down from the 680 m tower
'cloud citizen' is a continuous synthetic lifestyle with programmed public space suspended in the air, comprising both offices for an envisioned IT industry cluster, commercial, leisure, and cultural facilities. each civic amenity provides a profound identity and acts as a catalyst for small and big businesses. the overall scale is broken down into individual units and a large variety of locations develops a unique environment for interaction and creativity. each communal area is connected with a park that acts like a green communication network in symbiosis.
creating a gateway to the new city
as an integral part of the urban ecosystem, the proposal also has the ability to harvest rainwater and produce power from the sun, wind, and algae. in addition, it stores carbon and filters particles from the air while housing sanctuaries for wild plants and food production modules. by implementing these mechanisms, the architects were able to place shelters throughout the exterior terraces in order to place visitors, residents, and workers in close proximity to nature, leisure, and healthier lifestyles.

Just sort of need Harrison Ford, Edward James Olmos, Daryll Hannah and Rutger Hauer to complete the final image for the design firm's photos. Cool but more than frightening.
Pretty neat but I wonder why the squared traditional skyscrapers (boardwalk pic) are included.. possibly existing? But they do seem part of the plan. Also I'm guessing systems (HVAC etc) would be a complete nightmare due to the organic layout. Other than that I wanna take a stroll around there. Kinda reminds me of a sandcastle!
