The Nature of Death
So what, exactly, happens when we die? Heaven? Hell? Reincarnation? Nothing?
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me," and also, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live" (John 14:6; John 11:25). Because of these bold claims, followers of Jesus' teachings have often claimed to know the "truth about death," claiming the Bible as their authority on the matter.
Yet how can this approach be foolproof when the "truth about death" varies even between Christian churches? How can we be confident in our Bible study technique so that we are also confident in the result it yields?
The answer lies in the Bible itself, offering a prescription for finding God's truth:
"Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little" (Isaiah 28:9, 10).
In other words, a mature study of God's message (one that contains more than just the "milk" of the Scriptures) demands that each passage about a subject must be compared to every other passage on the subject in the Bible. If we fail to do this, we might look at only part of the message and declare it to be the entire truth. Worse yet, we might misunderstand the message and declare blatant falsehood as truth.
So let's begin at the beginning and see if the message we find there remains consistent as the rest of the Bible unfolds.
The first chapter of Genesis says that the heavens and the Earth were all created by God as He spoke them into existence.
"Then God said, 'Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear'; and it was so" (Genesis 1:9).
God's words create matter and energy. He is so powerful that He must merely say something for it to become reality.
Yet the Bible tells us that God did not speak mankind into existence. Rather, He molded the first man with His own hands. "The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being" (Genesis 2:7). God cares for mankind so much that He used His own hands to make man perfect. Then, because the body must be animated to become alive, God breathed the "breath of life" into the body, and the man lived.
It is important to recognize this formula for life. The body without the breath is not alive; neither is the breath alive without a body. Only when the two elements are joined together does life occur. When we look at the same passage in the King James translation, it says, "Man became a living soul." The word "soul" has been used to describe an intangible part of the human that is separate from the body and lives on after death, but the Bible defines a "soul" as the combination of a body and the breath, or spirit, from God. A person does not HAVE a soul; a person IS a soul, according to the Word of God.
Life, then, comes from God as a gift. The Old Testament patriarch Job understood this when he said, "As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils," he would not commit sin (Job 27:3). He knew that the breath inside of him was truly the breath from God.
The author of the book of Ecclesiastes, most likely King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, demonstrated this equation in reverse. He wrote, describing death, "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
Therefore, we acknowledge that there is an invisible, intangible part of human life that exists apart from the body. However, the Bible tells us that it is not an immortal human soul, but rather a spirit from God. God lends us a part of Himself while we are alive, but that part returns to God when we die because it was always on loan from God to begin with.
The Bible records this same truth in the Christian era. The apostle James declares that "the body without the spirit is dead," and thus recognizes that life is a combination of those two elements and ceases to exist when they are separated.
This concept is easy to understand when we consider the elements of artificial light. We create light by starting with a light bulb and adding an electric current to it. The product of those two elements is light. When we break the bulb or stop the electricity, the light ceases to exist. The light, like our lives, cannot exist in the absence of either of the two components that make it up.
This teaching obviously differs from what most Christian churches teach. While we respect their views and their faith, we encourage every person to take an honest look at what the Scriptures say about the subject of death. Not only is its formula for life clear, as we've demonstrated, but it has an abundance to say about the human experience after death as well. Consider these few thoughts on the matter:
"The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence" (Psalm 115:17).
This tells us that death brings silence, and not praise, for God. Wouldn't you praise God if you were in His presence in heaven?
"[A man's] spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish" (Psalm 146:4).
Our plans do not continue beyond the grave because death means the cessation of life. Life stops at death.
"For in death there is no remembrance of [God]; In the grave who will give You thanks?" (Psalm 6:5).
How can we not remember God if we are with Him each day?
"For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth" (Isaiah 38:18).
Death holds no thanks, praise, or hope for God.
"Yet he shall be brought to the grave, And a vigil kept over the tomb" (Job 21:32).
The dead go to the grave and stay there.
"For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6).
This speaks for itself, doesn't it?
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going" (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
The Bible is overwhelmingly clear that death means death. When we die, we return to the same state of consciousness we had before we were born: none.
It is understandable why pagan religions and cultures often immortalize their dead and why this doctrine crept into both the Jewish and, eventually, Christian religions over time. The grief that survivors must endure after a loved one dies can be unbearable, and the thought of this loved one in a perfect paradise looking down upon the survivors can bring a sense of relief and comfort. If this were the story the Bible gave us, we would believe it. However, the Bible tells us plainly that death means a loss of consciousness and a loss of life.
Though this understanding highlights how horrible death really is, it also should alleviate our fears about it. No matter how painful a method of death is, no matter how many unresolved issues you leave behind, no matter how scared of the dark you are, at the moment of death you will cease to be aware of anything, even your own death. Just as you can never tell the moment you fall asleep, so too is death. There is nothing to fear, because there is nothing at all.
Consider the alternative for a moment. If you could actually look down upon the remaining earthlings from your divine heavenly paradise, you would see that the people you love continue to struggle, get sick, and die. You would witness their lies and their hurts. You would see the secret things they never wanted you to see when you were alive. If they rebel against God, you would know ahead of time that they would not join you in heaven. It is hard to imagine paradise including those things.
Also consider that the idea that death brings an immediate reward that includes greater knowledge and abilities than you had before is the same lie that Satan told the first woman to get her to rebel against God in the garden of Eden! He told her, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:4, 5). The devil made sin, which leads to death, seem like an attractive thing; death seemed like a reward. The devil has been telling this lie since the beginning. He has told the same story all throughout time.
Another Bible text confirms that the dead go to sleep when they die, but it also gives a hint as to how God will eventually correct this problem. Consider Job 14:10–12:
"But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he? As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up, So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep."
This text tells us that a man's death is like a river drying up and promises that the sleep of death will not be disturbed until "the heavens are no more." Did you know that the Bible talks about a time when the heavens will, indeed, be no more?
At that time, the dead will be roused from their sleep. God loves His children too much to allow them to die forever. Jesus Christ makes a promise to everyone who will believe it and accept it regarding the time when the dead will wake up. He says:
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1–3).
So Christ tells us that when He returns to Earth, He will raise the dead and bring them to heaven with Him, so everyone can be together in a land with no more death. The Bible describes Christ's return by saying, "The stars of heaven fell to the earth, and the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up" (Revelation 6:13, 14). The heavens, as we know them, will be no more, and life will never be the same again.
Death might be a sleep of unconsciousness, but it is only temporary. For those who trust in God to keep His promises, eternal life without death awaits.

Marathon Little Theatre Group's production of "Bye Bye Birdie" takes the audience back to a simpler time era. Sure, there were worries back then, but life was a lot less complicated. One of the biggest household arguments was what to watch on the three–yes, just three–major TV networks on the family's only television set. On Sunday nights, at 8:00 p. m., all were in agreement–"The Ed Sullivan Show." Ed had something for everyone—a cutting-edge comedian for Mom and Dad, a rock star or group for the teens, and puppets/plate spinners/dancing bears for the kiddies!
"Bye Bye Birdie" pays homage to this uncomplicated era, even going so far as to include a musical tribute to Ed Sullivan himself, English teachers ("An English Teacher"), womankind ("How Lovely To Be A Woman") and happiness ("Put On A Happy Face").
But was this really as trouble-free as all that? Just ask the family with the fallout shelter in their backyard. Or the school kid who had to hide under his desk during a routine shelter drill. If you could, would you go back in time to the 50s, 60s or even the 70s?
Check out "Bye Bye Birdie" at Marathon Jewish Community Center, 245-37 60th Avenue in Douglaston, on a Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon through March 27th, and then send your comment.

Elizabeth Siddal (1829-1862) is perhaps best remembered as the face of John Everett Millais' 'Ophelia'. However, she was also the wife, and muse of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. She was also an artist in her own right, her work very much overshadowed by her husbands'. Lizzie had long red hair, was tall with a pale complexion and heavy lidded eyes. Many were to say that she was not beautiful, but a striking woman.
She was born into a working-class London family, and by 1849 working in a milliner's (or hat makers) shop when she was discovered by the artist Walter Howell Deverell, who was the first to have her model for his paintings.
Rossetti and Lizzie had an on-off relationship for many years (some would say love-hate) and over time her personality was to change due to her Laudanum dependency and the disappointment in her life, being unmarried and unsure of Rossetti who had well-documented affairs. (She first used Laundanum when she became ill after posing for too long in cold water for the 'Ophelia' painting.) Finally, she married him in 1860 and became pregnant with their first child.
Sadly, Lizzie's baby (daughter) was stillborn due to the affects of Laudanum and this was to send her spiralling further into despair. She was to take her own life in 1862. Rossetti, being distraught, placed his poems in her coffin and painted 'Beata Beatrix' in her memory. Though, 7 years later he would retrieve his poems and publish them.
I will leave you to make up your own mind about Rossetti's behaviour. Lizzie also had her own part to play, and was by no means innocent in many of their problems. They, at best, should be remembered for their work together.
Highly recommended is the book, 'Lizzie Siddal the Tragedy of a Pre-Raphaelite Supermodel' by Lucinda Hawksley, which is a fascinating read.
'Ophelia' by Millais and 'Beata Beatrix' by Rossetti can be viewed at the Tate Gallery, London.

Widget for Android?
I really like the features of Todoist, I am running on Android 2.3.4. (using Todoist for Android). I really need a widget to view my Todo's on my phone. Is there anything in the works to provide an Android Widget for Todoist? Or maybe a 3rd party app that provides a widget? This is a make or break feature for me.
Thanks for any guidance!
All responses
Hello Thomas,
we are currently working on our native Todoist Mobile app which will provide many Todoist features and we may indeed add an Android widget in future development as well.
For now, all available mobile options are listed here:
Best regards,
Hi David - almost 8 months since your reply on this thread, any more developments on an Android App with WIDGET?
Hello Clif,
our Android app is almost finished and the open beta testing phase is already running: https://plus.google.com/b/106827182652048588353/106827182652048588353/posts/1XdM7JUM5CQ
If it won't have a widget at launch, we may add it in the future.
Best regards,
I'd like to add that I would very much appreciate a widget.
I'd also like a widget. It's very useful to quickly add something you're thinking about. (The RTM app has a very good widget)
I need a widget! Main reason I'm switching to Astrid :\
I'd agree. While it is great to have the full app, I think the original request is for a Widget that is always opened on the screen and displays your current tasks. Other apps have this ability.
Yes, the andriod app is kinda lame without a widget !
Please do this asap.
+1 for a Widget request!
As a side note, setting a "Default Project" for the android app would be useful, as I don't use "tasks for today"
I agree with widget request! I very like todoist web app but I'm sorry that I can't one-time buy pro version of Android todoist with tag search feature. I have to buy premium plan for it.
I'm try to use Astrid, but I don't like it to much (but is very fast developed so is a hope).
Still no widget?
Too bad :/
For me it's the only reason NOT to use todoist.
+1 for widget.
Without widget I have to use other services and I can't use 2 services, becouse I have to do double work.
We've very close to the release of our widget, it should take too long before it gets published, it will be awesome and certainly worth the wait :)
Best regards,
Any ETA for the widget?
And will it be available on the free version?
Hello Thomas,
Please keep a close look on our social media channels (Facebook, Google+ and Twitter) in the coming days :)
Best regards,
So, has there been any news by September?
Hello Nicolás,
Our Android app has widgets since March 19th, 2013: https://todoist.com/blog/2013/03/two-new-android-widgets/ feel free to check it our on the PlayStore :)
Best regards,

Top Five Obama Shirts
Published March 31, 2008 in Political T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (57)
The Pennsylvania primary is right around the corner, and this year it actually means something, so we're seeing tons of political ads everywhere. Hence, I thought it would be appropriate to take this time to make a list of the best Obama (he's who I'm leaning towards right now) shirts out there. The goal of this is to find political shirts that don't…suck. So, hopefully you enjoy. In no particular order…
We'll start off with this one from American Pig Brand, whose goal with this design was to create a good looking, urban Obama shirt. I think they succeeded. It costs $24.99 and is printed on American Apparel.
This one takes a little more humorous route, while still still being a good design. It costs $17.99 and is printed on American Apparel. For every shirt bought $1 is donated to the Obama campaign.
This is another one from American Pig Brand. To be honest, they probably have the best Obama shirts out there. Again, this one will run you $24.99 and is printed on American Apparel.
This one is simple, but nonetheless an excellent design. The blue spatter takes it from being boring to good looking. The cost on this one varies depending on what type of shirt you get it printed on.
Lastly, no list of Obama shirts would be complete without the "Barak Obama is my Homeboy" shirt. This one seems to be very popular. I like it, i just prefer the American Pig Brand designs above. This one also varies depending on configuration.
Ghost T-Shirt from Poketo! Apparel
Published March 30, 2008 in Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)
Ogi says, "I layered drawings and scribbles. Happy deaths?" Huh?
I like the layers of drawing and scribbles – it makes for a cool shirt and some extra scary ghosts (not entirely). The sketch'y style is perfect for this design. I believe Poketo! prints on American Apparel shirts. This one comes on navy and will cost you $28. Check it out at Poketo! Apparel.
Also, this isn't a t-shirt, but I noticed they have an excellent selection of wallets. So if you're looking for a new wallet, check out their wallet section – you won't be dissapointed (at least I wasn't).
Big Foot from Inkbath
Published March 29, 2008 in Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
Inkbath just recently became an advertiser on my site, so I thought I would help support them by throwing up this post of their Big Foot t-shirt. It's just a tad on the quirky side, but I view that as a good thing. Check it out at Inkbath.
Introducing T-Shirt Monster
Published in T-Shirts Tshirt Companies. Comments (2)
T-shirt Monster was created with the goal of giving designers the ability to sell their shirts without having to stock inventory. However, despite being an on-demand printer, they also focus on quality (which is something I've seen some other sites lacking in). From their site:
As an on-demand T-shirt printer, we take printing seriously. Each and every T-Shirt we print is done with the utmost care, hand folded and quality inspected before being shipped to your door.
The cool thing is they also feature a (high paying) design competition. Their competition runs monthly, with the design being chosen by the community (ala Threadless and Design by Humans). The prizes are $1,000 cash, a $500 gift certificate, and $2 every time one of your shirts is sold. The design is also placed in their hall of fame, which can boost your sales, and subsequently royalties. This months contest is set to end March 31st, so it may be too late. However, theres always the contest for April.
I just thought it was interesting how they've kind of made a hybrid between being an on-demand printer and having a design competition. Maybe it's been done, but this is the first time I've seen it, so it caught my eye. Be sure to check them out at T-Shirt Monster.
Oh, and check out this design too
Spring-ATRON R.E.S.U.B. from Shirt.Woot
Published in Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (4)
I'm usually not up late enough to post about Shirt.Woot tees in time for people to actually buy them. But, today I didn't feel like going to sleep, so you all get to benefit. This quirky, spring themed shirt is the 2nd place shirt from this weekends Derby and it's only $10 with free shipping (and printed on American Apparel). Check it out at Shirt.Woot.
Destroyer from Beautiful/Decay
Published March 27, 2008 in Excellent Design T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
Beautiful/Decay has a great collection of tees. I believe most of them come from other designers (this one is by To Die For), but they only pick the best of the bunch. This one is kind of morbid, but I definitely like it. I think it would also look great as some type of wall art. This one costs $29.95 and can be bought at Beautiful/Decay.
Out to Sea from PopJunkie is on sale
Published March 26, 2008 in Excellent Design T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirt Sales T-Shirts. Comments (3)
This shirt got a lot of well deserved press back around January. I was just looking around PopJunkie today and I noticed that it was now on sale. Given that it seemed to be a popular shirt, I just thought I'd stop in to let people know that right now it is on sale for $25, as compared to the usual $35. Saving $10 ain't bad. You can buy it by going to PopJunkie. Also, if you like their other shirts, I think right now pretty much all of them are on sale.
Intergalactic Friends from Team Space Pirate
Published in Physical T-Shirt Reviews Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (2)
This is another shirt I got sent awhile ago that I have yet to post up.
Team Space Pirate is a "new type of visual art project bringing together a vision and people". They make their shirts through the process of Doodlism, at least as far as I can tell. I'm not sure if Doodlism is an official term or something they created (I'm not an art person), but here's the description from their site:
It's art that has been created through self-manifestation. True art is here for every one of us, and we all have the ability to create. Doodlism is a spirituality-based art form. The art form is completely improvisational and has nothing to do skill. Through the process itself, and the passage of time one true style is developed. Every step of the journey is a positive experience. There is a feeling self-empowerment when looking back and watching your style develop and seeing personal growth. In Doodlism, if you are trying too hard to create, you have left the main principal of the art form. When you draw, you simply draw. When you paint, you simply paint.
The technique leads to a very original style for their shirts, which I find to be a good thing.
Above is the shirt they sent me. I had to use product pictures again because of my camera. You can definitely see the Doodlism coming through in the design. This is also another design with tons of detail. It may just look like an alien and his friend, but if you look closely at their bodies you can see tons of individual designs. The level of detail is just amazing.

Radical Rambunction from Thriving Ink
Published March 25, 2008 in Physical T-Shirt Reviews Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (2)
Thriving Ink sent me this shirt awhile ago, and I feel bad for not getting this review up earlier, I just lost track of this one (and another) with the whole Ireland thing. But, I've found it now, so you won't miss out. Score!
First off, Thriving Ink seems like a pretty cool company. They specialize in "urban and metro sportswear", and I recommend you read their mission statement. I like most of their designs – they've got a great style. It reminds me somewhat of Imaginary Foundation in some aspects (not that they're the same, i just see similarities between the two).
The shirt they sent me came in a custom mailing envelope and was packed full of extras. Included were stickers, a spring 08 collection brochure, and even a poster. For me, the throw-ins show the company is going the extra mile.
Now on to the actual shirt – my camera seemed to be turning out blurry pictures which didn't give the design justice, so I'm just going to use Thriving Ink's stock pictures.
The design has so much going on – the level of detail is really amazing. There's an old man, there's monsters – you really just need to look at it to see everything. That being said, I think that it also looks good from far away, even if you can't see all the detail. So a definite win-win.
They print their tees on American Apparel, with custom printed tags (they cut out the AA tags and print their own, similar to Threadless). Radical Rambunction can be had for $19.95.
A Quick Update to Torso Pants – $8 off
Published in T-Shirt Coupons T-Shirt Sales T-Shirts Tshirt Companies. Comments (0)
With my post yesterday about Torso Pants I forgot to mention part of their opening promotion. If you sign up as a member of the Church of Torso Pants (pretty much a regular member account) they'll give you $8 (in the form of "Torso Washingtons") off your first shirt. So you can snag a shirt for $10. They also have private shirts that are only for members. Also, like Threadless, you can earn more "Torso Washingtons" for referring friends and submitting pictures.

El Puño de hierro (The Iron Fist)
Part of Angel of Fire: Kahlo, Mexico, and Film
Date + TimeThursday, August 07, 2008
8:00 p.m.
LocationPhyllis Wattis Theater
OverviewGabriel García Moreno, 1927, 77 min.
This rare, remarkable silent adventure opens with a young man experiencing his first shot of morphine. To try to describe the rest of the breathless plot would be futile, but suffice to say that it involves hints of bestiality, homosexual orgies, a lecture on the horrors of drug addiction, documentary footage of strait-jacketed patients, and a pipe-smoking ten-year-old boy detective who helps save the day. A trail-blazing example of surrealism in the country that fostered Frida Kahlo and Luis Buñuel, the film disappeared from public view after a few screenings in Veracruz in 1927, until a restored version premiered in Mexico City in 2001. Silent, with Spanish and English intertitles and live musical accompaniment.
Since 1997, San Francisco-based Seth Horvitz has been producing and performing under the moniker Sutekh. Manipulating computers, synthesizers, samplers, found sounds, and acoustic instruments, he has created everything from minimal house and beat-driven techno music to dissonant sound collages. His unique musical tapestry pairs perfectly with the surrealistic imagery of El Puño de hierro.
Admission + Ticketing
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket. Tickets are available at the Museum (with no surcharge) or online.

Characterization of Corydalis (Papaveraceae s. l.) and Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae) Species: 1. Root Anatomical Characters
Resin embedding methodology was evaluated for authentic herbal medicinal identification using tubers or rhizomes of Corydalis and Dioscorea in the current study. Dealing with hard herbal drug materials for anatomical works can be challenging, but using the resin embedding approach makes easier to dissect the herbal drugs. Corydalis and Dioscorea tubers are secondary organs considering the fact that they have main roots as well as the tubers or rhizomes. The tuber anatomical characters are not complicated; however, the characteristic anatomical features can be useful as identification tools for those well-known Oriental herbal medicines.

St David's Head coastal walk
Whitesands, near St David's, Pembrokeshire, WalesRoute details and mapDownload as a print friendly PDF
Route overview
Explore Pembrokeshire's most spectacular coastal headland several miles away from Wales' smallest city, St David's. Look out at island-dotted seascapes against the steep backdrop of Carn Llidi, prehistoric monuments and a fantastic array of coastal wildlife on this rugged circular walk.
Route details
See this step-by-step route marked on a map
- Directions
- Route
- Bus stop
- Parking
- Toilet
- Viewpoint
Start: Whitesands beach car park, grid ref: SM734272
From Whitesands car park, go through a gap in the wall on passing the Site of St Patrick's Chapel. Climb a sandy slope up on to the cliff path. After about half a mile (0.8km) you reach a kissing gate and National Trust sign. Continue to the crest of the hill.
From here, see Coetan Arthur silhouetted against the sky. St David's Head is forged of very old volcanic rock, some of it dates back almost 500 million years. This geology is best represented by Carn Llidi, the towering jagged outcrop, or tor, and in the rocky islands of Ramsey, Bishops and Clerks several miles out to sea. Our main route sticks to the coast, descending into the valley ahead via broad steps to a spring above the tiny cove of Porth Melgan. An alternative route heads gently uphill round the back of Carn Llidi with fine views to the east, or adventurous souls can scramble to the summit of this peak.
Cross the stream by a bridge and turn right or north-east to walk up this valley. This area can be slippery and muddy in winter.
To your right is a marshy area with the typical 'dinosaur egg' shapes of purple moor grass or 'rhos pasture', green in summer and earthy coloured in winter. Higher up, on the flanks of Carn Llidi, you can see ancient field patterns. Look out for birds like stonechat, meadow pipit and skylark in clumps of reedbed and willow. The rare Dartford warbler has also been seen in recent years.
At the highest point here, the peak of Pen Beri and the expanse of Cardigan Bay appears in the distance. Two headlands away is the winking lighthouse of Strumble Head with the peak of Garn Fawr above it. Descend to rejoin the coast path and turn left towards St David's Head.
Show/HideCoastal heath
Heather and gorse turn St David's Head a bright shade of purple and gold in late summer. They also provide a home for butterflies, moths and beetles, plus birds like stonechat and linnet. Up to 50 Welsh Mountain ponies graze St David's Head. They keep the vegetation open and maintain the right conditions for the coastal heath plants like heather, gorse and the rare hairy greenweed to thrive.
On the plateau a remarkable rockscape opens up. Jagged erratic rocks are mirrored by the rugged profile of Ramsey Island out to sea. North of Ramsey are the 'Bishops and Clerks', little islets, one of which is home to a big lighthouse. Offshore, you might be lucky enough to spot porpoise or dolphin playing in the waves.
Show/HideCliff-top birds
A range of birds breed on the cliffs here each summer, from peregrine falcon to raven, and, swift to chough. St David's Head is about 15 miles from Grassholm, one of the largest gannetries in the world, with 34,000 breeding pairs of gannets. You can often see gannets feeding close to St David's Head, they plunge into the sea for mackerel, making a very large splash.
The route eventually passes Coetan Arthur and descends to an Iron Age coastal fort at the end of the peninsula. Continue on the coast path, returning to Porth Melgan. Retrace your route from here back to Whitesands beach.
Show/HideCoetan Arthur
Coetan Arthur is a Neolithic burial chamber dating from about 4000BC. It has a huge capstone almost 20ft (6m) wide, supported by a side stone over 3ft (1m) tall. It was almost certainly built this way, with one end resting on the ground, as an 'earthfast' megalith. It mimics the shape of Carn Llidi behind it. This coastline has a rich prehistoric past. There are also remains of ancient field patterns, enclosures and defensive banks dotted all around.
End: Whitesands beach car park, grid ref: SM734272

A new study has revealed that the size of clitoris matters, and that women with orgasm problems may have smaller clitoris, which is located farther from the vagina.
Researchers at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, who used MRI to scan the pelvic area of 30 women in their 30s, found that ten of these women had rarely or never achieved orgasms despite trying, the Huffington Post reported.
Researchers have revealed that these women with orgasm problems had smaller clitoris and the direct distance between the clitoris and the vagina was 5 to 6 millimeters longer on average.
According to the study, the size and location of the clitoris may be important in women's sexual function.
Researcher Susan Oakley said that there is no "G-spot" and there is just "C-spot", which is the source of a lot of sexual pleasure for the female.
The study was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

MacArthur Road
Location: Elmwood
Retaining the rustic charm of a century or more ago, the MacArthur Road twists and turns uphill and down through beautiful stands of hardwood and softwood and agricultural fields. Sunlight filters through a protective umbrage of maples, birch, pine and spruce. Old apple orchards, the remnants of abandoned farmsteads, add their blooms in spring. An assortment of wildlife, especially perching birds, find this type of habitat irresistible. This road has received protection through designation as a scenic heritage road. Prosperous farmland once surrounded the road and, in the mid- to late-1800s, a sawmill and furniture factory were located here. Now officially known as Peter's Road, it has become known locally as the MacArthur Road after families of that name who settled here. Near the turn of the century, diphtheria swept through this small community. A pioneer cemetery known as the MacArthur Cemetery, on the west side near the top of the hill, bears sad witness to the fate of families stricken by this dreaded disease. A sense of history, both human and natural, prevails on this pleasant country lane. Location: Near Strathgartney Provincial Park this section of Rte. 244 begins 700 metres north of the Trans Canada Highway and extends to Elmwood for a distance of approximately 2 km.

Discover 16 scenic Heritage roads that were carved from red clay and hardwood forests well before the first bicycle was invented. These clay roads meander through farmland and woodland and provide an excellent opportunity to experience nature at its best. Steep hills and wet areas are common, these roads should be avoided in the spring when snow and ice are still melting and mud is a problem. Keep in mind that many of these routes are still used by farmers with large machinery and caution is advised.

A recent exposé in the London Independent, when stripped of its heavily lefty leaning bias, has provided a stark picture of neocon worshippers in America today as a bunch of bigoted wannabe elites who have swallowed whole the mantra of the Bush cabal and now believe that real conservatism consists of invading every oil producing country in the world and killing American citizens who protest.
Johann Hari's recent article, while being laced with overly liberal padding, contains at its heart a detailed picture of the fallout of the neoconservative hijacking of America in the 21st century.
Hari, reporting from the annual cruise organised by the staunchly neocon publication the 'National Review', details casual comments made by attendees that highlight how the self made reality of right wing lobbyists and elites has filtered through to a bandwagon of greasy ladder climbing yuppies who consider total servitude and worship of the globalist run government to be the key to a strong and healthy American society.
Some of the highlights of the article follow:
Hillary-Ann and many others like her may get her wish should the Michael Chertoff's "gut feeling" and the other daily warnings that there is going to be a major terror attack turn out to be accurate.
Hari also discovers that many of these mindless fools cannot get enough of their daily neocon media brainwashing and literally worship the mouthpieces that deliver it to them:
Some are less happy with Fox news however, take Robert Bork, Ronald Reagan's one-time nominee to the Supreme Court, who is clearly unhappy with the unbalanced reporting on Fox:
Hari also details low ranking CFR member, editor of Commentary, and arch neocon Norman Podhoretz's comments on the Iraq war as he declares that it has been "an amazing success":
Another cruiser who laughably considers himself to be a traditional American conservative states:
Among various other ridiculous declarations that Al Qaeda is taking over the world and that all Muslims are terrorists, the crux of the piece lies in the following statement:
Though Hari wrongly labels these neocon worshippers as "conservatives" it is telling that he discovers that they consider themselves to be "joining the winning team". They know deep down that true American values are being obliterated but have decided to embrace what is being offered to them instead. Trapped in a false left/right paradigm and failing to see that there is only one "team" that they cannot join, in reality these people are looked upon as nothing more than useful idiots by the elite masters they pander to.
Meanwhile real conservatives such as presidential candidate Ron Paul, whose whole campaign is structured around reigning in big government, restoring the Republic at home and abruptly halting military interventionism abroad, are looked upon by these twisted neocon underlings as traitors who hate America and should be gassed to death.
Renowned and trusted conservatives such as Paul Craig Roberts and even Ron Paul himself are now desperately trying to warn the American people that this administration has been hijacked and is willing to use false flag terror events to bring about the end of the Republic. They urge an instant restoration of the American constitutional system.
The false conservatives however continue to tell us that we must give up our liberties and support the expansion of government power to monolithic proportions.
This is the reality of the greatest threat to freedom in
America in the 21st Century and what we must move to combat if liberty
is to win out. To these soulless followers of the globalist elite, war
is the new peace, slavery is the new freedom, ignorance is the new strength
and blind worship of tyranny is the new conservatism.

Eternal Recall
12:14 PM, Aug 4, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
GM's woes continue. As James R. Healey of USA Today reports:
The website is, of course, entirely the creation of the "new" GM. The one that Joe Biden tells us was so gloriously rescued by his boss. It cannot be blamed on the previous administration, Mitt Romney, the Tea Party, or anyone other than the company that was saved by the taxpayers. And this company has created a website where:
Washington is on the case, however, and:
Feeling certain, no doubt, that this would take care of it and all would copacetic.
Wouldn't it be nice, one thinks, if we could get a do-over and just let old GM go bankrupt?
Didn't someone suggest that?

It was a good way to spend a Sunday morning, kids laughing and moms running around. The Wisconsin womens soccer team hosted the mother/daughter clinic Sunday April 5, in an effort to raise money for the Claudia Mayer Cancer Research Center for breast cancer research. Although the clinic was originally scheduled to be outside on the Camp Randall field the snow pushed the clinic inside to the McClain facility. There is a complete photo gallery below.
As the Badgers prepare to participate in the Soldier Field KICKS Against Breast Cancer Women's Collegiate Soccer Invitational they need to raise $1000 to gain entry. Wisconsin is one of six teams that will participate in the all day event on Sunday, April 26 to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and treatment.
Today was a success, said junior Ashley Hedges, who helped organize the event. We made our goal and we are happy people came out to support us. We did it all for a good cause and we hope we can make a difference.
The Badgers not only met their goal, they exceeded it, earning well over $1000 in their first attempt. The clinic was a success too, as many of the Badger moms were able to make it to the clinic.
The clinic was approximately two hours and included instruction from the Wisconsin womens soccer players and the coaches. They started out rotating groups between different stations, which included skills for goalkeeping, passing and defending. They then split in two groups and played in a friendly mother/daughter game which ended in a fun shootout where the mothers lost to their kids. Finally, the mothers were able to sit back and watch as the kids played against the student-athletes.
The team will be raising money for the Claudia Mayer Cancer Research Center until they leave for the tournament. For more information or if you wish to donate, send an email to email@example.com.

Calling All Homebrewers: Help Brew Gentlemen Create Their Next Beer By Liz Reid • Jun 18, 2015 Courtesy The Brew Gentlemen Beer Company In most industries, companies want consumers to buy their products, not go make their own versions at home. The craft beer world is not most industries. The Brew Gentlemen Beer Company in Braddock will host the American Homebrewers Association for a rally celebrating all things craft and homebrewed beer from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Craft Beer Coming to Spring Gallery Crawl By Michael Lynch • Apr 23, 2015 The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's Spring Gallery Crawl will look a little more like a pub crawl this season. The Trust has partnered with Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week to bring 11 taste-testing stations to the Cultural District's quarterly arts festival. Coming to a Beer Distributor Near You: 12-Packs By Deanna Garcia • Mar 6, 2015 Joseph / Flickr The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has clarified a container requirement rule – clearing the way for beer distributors to sell 12 packs. This came after several requests for clarification by a beer distributor and brewery which asked if, under current PLCB regulations, they could "prepare a single large container of malt or brewed beverages consisting of twelve smaller containers, each holding approximately 12 ounces, designed to be sold as a single unit." For the First Time Since 1870, You May Soon Be Able to Order a Beer in Wilkinsburg By Liz Reid • Feb 13, 2015 Flickr user Phil Dragash In the last 4 ½ years, 35 commercial properties in Wilkinsburg's central business district have been sold, 22 new businesses have moved in, and 12 formerly vacant storefronts have been filled. That's according to Tracey Evans, Executive Director of the Wilkinsburg Community Development Corporation. Like many towns in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Wilkinsburg is slowly emerging from the combined effects of the 2008 economic recession and the steel industry's demise in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

A winter spinoff of the popular Shadyside Nursery Weather Permitting concert series, called (surprise!) Winter Weather Permitting, will kick off at The New Bohemian on Sunday, January 25 and will feature tunes from The Working Poor, The Pressure, and Charlie Hustle & the Grifters.

Grab a kettlebell and get ready to pump some iron at a free class at Get Fit at Stout Training Pittsburgh. Or, maybe you just want to enjoy life a bit more: prepare your best belly laugh for Second City's N'Ats All Folks show – a comedic act making fun of everything Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Brewers Host Beer Sampling for Charity By Julian Routh • Oct 9, 2014 Knocking back a couple of brews has never been more charitable. The eighth annual Brewing Up A Cure craft beer festival, this Saturday at PPG's Wintergarden in Downtown Pittsburgh, will feature more than 75 beers from microbreweries in Pittsburgh, with all proceeds benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Sen. Casey Calls For Lower Taxes For Small Breweries By Mary Wilson • Oct 23, 2013 Lower taxes may be brewing for small beer makers if the state's Democratic U.S. senator has any pull. Bob Casey is calling for a reduction in taxes for the breweries. He says the same legislation would also increase how much beer companies can sell and still be considered "small." "Taxes as it relates to breweries have really not changed since the mid-1970s," Casey said. "Since that timeframe, breweries have grown substantially in size." Casey visited Troeg's Brewing Company in Hershey, Dauphin County to tout the proposal. Smorgasburgh to Showcase Pittsburgh's Foodie Scene By Liz Reid • Sep 20, 2013 The free beer from PortaBeer should be enough to draw a crowd out to the premiere installment of Smorgasburgh, but it's the food that will take center stage.

It refers to Cordoba, Spain – the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex.
Today, some of the Mosque's backers insist this term is being used to "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.
Gingrich calls for his readers to "take a stand" against the Cordoba House and the "Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization."Read Gingrich's complete post here.

If America is such a melting pot and we're supposed to be the "greatest country" we are sure not acting like it. I think gingrich needs to take a multi- cultural class and realize that he is not up lifting the so called "American values" of this country which is to not discriminate against other cultures and to accept them as Americans who has rights!!!!! Especially making ignorant remarks against someone who is are PRESIDENT(I read gingrich's other article about the whole Africa and Pres.Obama thing). I think its perfectly fine to build something in New York. And its IGNORANT to make a statement about the Saudi's not wanting a church there because they're only about domination and they will have someone just come and blow it up. Thats rude to make comments like that because they are not about domination and totalitarianism. People should take in consideration what they post in these comments. If your ignorant then keep your thoughts to yourself because in everyone else's comments that I read ,some people spoke poorly of Arab nations. Even though I am not Arab I take this into offense because misconception and ignorance are being spoken in these posts. So to everyone who have posted on here, I mean this statement in no offense to you but just some words to remember: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! ITS BETTER TO BE QUIET AND LISTEN THAN TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING WITH SUCH IGNORANCE.September 14 2010 at 9:05 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
As a European, I can only say that Newt Gingrich sees history correctly. Spain was for several centuries dominated by Islam/Muslims and under their political and religious control. Indeed, they did transform the christian cathedral in Cordoba and made it into the biggest islamic center outside the middle east. And yes, it stood for the symbolic dominance of the islamic faith over the christian faith. Anybody who has lived near or with arab nations for long times, as we Europeans have, knows that there can never be a common base between the arab and western cultures. There could be "stand-off", or "truce", or idealy tolerance and the "agreement to peacefully disagree", but it takes both sides to achieve that. At this point in time, the islamic side has no intentions whatsoever to do it! They shoot for world dominance. It is and always has been their dream. And don't be fooled by the crowds of peaceful moslems out there: yes, they do exist, but!!! they do not count much in their ultimate schemes. They rather serve as a smart smoke screen to hide from us unsuspecting westerners the true agenda of take-over, pursued by the supreme Ayatollahs of Islam! Arabs do not respect weak people, they dispise them! Tolerance in their eyes is just another word for cowardice. If you don't believe it, go and live in any of the islamic countries for some time, then come back and speak up about what you've seen!September 11 2010 at 9:36 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Propose: Ground Zero, itself, be fitted for one or two remarkable edifices, the best in the world, to commemorate by design and on its main floors, what happened on that day of 9/11, but the heroism of it, as oppose the tragedy and America's determined resurgence to come out of the ashes of that attack. Let it additionally be called "the Freedom Center" where the foundation of religious, poltical freedom is celebrated as a right for men and women to worship according to the dictates of their conscience and not the invading of their minds or hearts by any tyrnnical narrow source. Then it won't matter about a nearby mosque. It will merely demonstrate what a new Phoenix of American restoration from dead ashes. We are a free nation that allows the free exercise of one's faith, and two unparalleled edifices dedicated to that will speak in volumns what we are as a nation...and it will be built precisely where ground zero is, forever dedicated to our children and our children's children. Let every American business and institution, as well as contributions from the world over give to that cause...and it will be built on ground zero and it will be called appropriately, Freedom Center, New York. That is how to address history and the future.August 23 2010 at 11:04 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god,
and a hereafter, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a
political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for
society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every
aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with
freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you
want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or
National Socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Islam and Shari'a Law are One! You're right. It's a political ideology and a security issue!August 17 2010 at 8:37 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply

I agree with Gingrich on the double-standards issue and also on the significance of the name, "Cordoba House." There can be no other purpose than symbolism to the construction of this mosque complex if there are already over 100 mosques in New York City. And the "symbolism rights" at Ground Zero are unequivocally ours, not theirs. Home field advantage.July 31 2010 at 6:12 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
Gingrich has a point. Try putting up a church in Pakistan and it will be destroyed or there will be a suicide bomber in a few months. In Saudi a church would not be allowed. Christians are exiting Muslim nations.
Muslims are leaving as well to go to democratic nations where some, but not all, begin sowing their hatred and intolerance of non muslims. Converts to Islam are particularly dangerous. Somali Americans have already killed as suicide bombers. Pakistani Americans have been captured. Other Muslim Americans are training for Jihad and rejoice in the actions at Fort Hood.
NO Mosques IN NEW YORK until they allow Churches in Saudi.
All this is hot air about denying those New York muslims their right to practice their religion. The contention is about putting up a building, not practicing a religion. As someone has stated there are many mosques in New York City already. Hell, there are buckets of mosques all over the United States. That being the case just how does denying a 'building permit' equate with denying the practice of any religion?July 24 2010 at 10:15 PM Report abuse Permalink -3 rate up rate down Reply
" Newt Gingrich: No Ground Zero Mosque Until Saudis Allow Churches
Well Newt, how about this: Maybe these New York Muslims will aggree to build elsewhere and not build a mosque 2 blocks from 'Ground' zero if the USA ('United' States of America)like the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) bans alchohol (18th Amendment) and make prayer for Muslims,Christains and Jewish mandatory 5 times a day {1 Thessalonians 5:17},enforces a veiled dress code {1 Cor 11: 5-6}, make adultry illegal{matt 5:28}and chopp off hands of theives{5:29-30} Imagine New York and Riyahdh as sister cities!
One of the reasons our country is so great is because we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION. We are not Saudi Arabia. Mr. Gingrich needs to review the US constitution.July 22 2010 at 11:09 PM Report abuse Permalink -16 rate up rate down Reply
The Constitution says that Congress shall make no law restricting the free exercise of religion. With over 100 mosques in NYC, there is clearly no law restricting building them.I have not yet heard of anyone being prohibited from their daily prayers, either, wherever they might be in the city. If the destruction of the Towers had been simply the act of a homicidal maniac who happened to be a Muslim, that would be one thing. But its explicit purpose was to terrorize the enemies of Islam. Building this mosque is simply a probe to see if they succeeded. "Just Say No."July 31 2010 at 6:22 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down Reply

The LA Church of Brunch
Brunching on Sunday morning is not just an activity in Los Angeles, it's a religion
Waiting in line at the Original Pantry Cafe
The weekend of birthday feasting continued this morning, much to my cholesterol level's dismay. My friend and I decided to take it back to where we first met – downtown LA and hit up one of it's most tried and true dining establishments, The Original Pantry Cafe. We used to frequent this joint back in the day when we lived around the corner from it, but it had been a good four years since I had visited it.
The Original Pantry Cafe is designated by the city of Los Angeles as a cultural and historical monument. I know you probably see these signs all over the city, and it basically means that establishment is protected as a historical monument by the city. The Cafe has been open since 1924 and it has remained opened 365 days a year, 24 hours a day since then. Because of this they have the slogan "Always open and never without a customer."
The Pantry is deemed to be a Cultural Heritage Monument
The place is no frills, and according to legend, mostly ex-cons man the kitchen. There is always a line, but it is always worth the wait. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menus can be found on the walls which can easily be viewed from any position in the place. As soon as the line permits you to enter the gastronomic gateway, an overwhelming scent of fried delicousness envelops your nostrils as the clanking of plates and and chit chattering of patrons fills your ears. The pancakes are a MUST try, we believe that they are sprinkled with crack and flipped with love. The menu is good ol' fashioned American food, no doubt about that.
Yet another delicious way to spend a Sunday with an amazing friend

Phoenix finally reveals the first step in their plan: webOS on Android 42
It was a little over six months ago that we first reported on the newly formed Phoenix International Communications, a group of dedicated webOS fans that in the wake of HP's decision to cancel webOS hardware and open source the operating system, decided that they were going to work to make their own webOS hardware. At least, eventually. The intervening six months have been a little weird, as far as the public face of Phoenix was concerned. All too often we'd see odd public pronouncements from Phoenix representatives stating that they were going to do make things right and the like. What exactly that meant, we didn't know, but we'll admit that after a while we stopped paying attention.
Though the long term goal for Phoenix is to produce their own webOS hardware, that's likely a long way and lots of money away. As they said when they announced themselves back in March, the first steps for Phoenix would be to port Open webOS onto existing Android devices, though they'd be making some improvements along the way. Our assumption was that they would port Open webOS in much the same manner as WebOS Ports, by providing a dual-boot solution for specific devices. Turns out, they've got something that seems a bit more audacious in mind.
You can see the initial fruits of their labor in the poorly lit video after the break, but honestly the video doesn't really explain things well. Phoenix's developers have been working on running webOS as an app on Android instead of as a standalone operating system. While this could have some level of a performance hit from running webOS on top of Android instead of in lieu of Android, it would provide users greater flexibility in terms of their user interface and app selection choices by having both operating systems running simultaneously.
You could call it a virtual machine or emulation or whatever you want, in the end it's a flexible solution to a difficult problem. They actually like to think of webOS on Android as working much the same was as webOS does on existing devices - the Linux core is booted and then the webOS UI with LunaSysMgr is booted on top of that.
It's an ambitious idea, and one that's going to take a lot of work to make it happen. As Phoenix was upfront in admitting to us, their webOS-on-Android job right now isn't exactly stable and crashes almost immediately (thus why the video only shows up to the webOS lock screen). The hope, though, is that the work of getting webOS running as an app inside Android will provide them with greater flexibility going forward. Ostensibly, such a solution would be easier to install on an Android device and be available for a wider array of devices (less per-device tweaking on the kernel and driver level would be needed).
As for a timeframe and how exactly this will be distributed, that's not something Phoenix is ready to discuss; as we said it crashes right after boot, so there's still a lot of work to be done before anybody starts talking about distribution, pricing, and the like. In the meantime, Phoenix plans to keep hard at work on their webOS-on-Android solution.
Whether Phoenix International Communications can stop being such an enigma or not remains to be seen. The random lofty affirmations on Facebook and Twitter haven't entirely gone away, and while they might be meant to be positive reinforcement for the webOS community, too often they backfire with weary skepticism. There's the added complication that many involved with Phoenix don't want to be publicly identified, including those at the top. They claim that they, like everybody else in Phoenix, are unpaid volunteers with full time jobs that for whatever reason look down on having a side job or independent business plans. Whether or not that's a good excuse for the poor communication job too date is debatable, but it doesn't change that Phoenix is finally showing something - anything - to back up some of the talk.

imho, the wrong os running on top of the wrong os.
An app that runs on android, or like a skin? Ie: Samsung's touchwiz for android.
More like an app, definitiely not like a skin.
Perhaps it will be compatible with Open Mobile's emulator. Then you would finally be able to use Android apps on an emulator running in a webOS app running on an Android device.
Well this is very exciting, Means us web os lovers can pick whatever form factor we want (with android) and pop our web os over it!
This is very interesting. I love Android OS and currently own 3 Android devices. I would, however, rather have the option to dual boot into either WebOS or Android as I do through Cyanogenmod on my Touchpad. Let us see how this ends up working out. Could prove quite interesting. Sidenote: I would also be quite intrigued to see WebOS on an Apple Device but it would be a LONG time were that to ever happen. Wishful thinking on my part.
Thank you so much with your contribution. Now why are you wasting your time here?
"... but you know I speak the truth..."
No, I don't.
I, for one, am running ICS on a Samsung Galaxy sII. I dislike.. and am beginning to HATE Android.
Betcha didnt know that, did ya?
Stop making presumptions about other people.. you have your opinion, state is as that and keep away from speaking for others.
Now that we got Whatsapp working on webos, I only need for Waze to work under webos and I will switch 100% back from Cyanogemod
Exactly... Some months ago I was thinking "maybe I should move to android" but before that I tried my girlfriend's android and even installed ICS on it... we traded cells for a week or so...
While ICS is an improvement to android, I definetely prefer webOS a lot more... even with the few apps we have it suits me much better (and don't get me started on the multitasking)... even my girlfriend tells me "oh, that funcion is better on your phone" or "I miss X function of your phone"... yes a phone with an OS like 3 years old (I have a pre+ with 1.4.5)...
On a side note I later decided to buy a pre 3... I was delighted with it... yes, was because it got stolen after a month or 2 using it... sorry, I can't continue, I have something in my eyes...
My first thought exactly, why put an under-developed, under-supported os on a device built for another well developed, well supported os? I have never used Android, in any form, so I really can'y comment on how good it is, but this really makes no sense to me. I suffered with a launch Pre for 2 years waiting for promised improvements, which never came. How is this going to be any better, without the resources of a Palm or an HP to support it (don't want to get into how HP didn't support it). I now have other products which software just seem to work, and hardware which makes the Pre seem embarrasing.
Sorry, yell at me if you want, but this has no commercial viability.
What's so sweet about ice cream and jelly bean, only the names maybe. Android is the UGLIEST piece of crap ever. Wouldn't want one if it was free
Im not sure I see WebOS.. ami I blind? I just see Android booting up...
Anyway, I have a Samsung Galaxy s II, running ICS. I have come to pretty much dislike Android as an OS, but, the hardware is pretty slick - the only thing I'd want is a physical keyboard, but, I digress...
Id love to be able to load WebOS onto it, even as an app... as long as the gestures work, and my WebOS profile worked on it, I'd be a happy camper - I miss WebOS so much!
I was OK with Android but after two years I've started to dislike it. Especially vanilla one. Everybody in Android community is thrilled with JB and iCS and hates Touchwiz, but honestly, for me, vanilla Android still looks like pile of randomly thrown shit one on another.
In the article, they said that all they did was run the video up to the webOS lock screen at the end. After that, it crashes. It's probably a good bit of work to get the OS properly emulated on Android as Android is not a real Linux based OS (and webOS and it's emulators are very Linux oriented...though there's virtualboxes for other OSs...I wouldn't conceive of using them on mobile devices). I can't see them doing a "few hacks" and getting it to run right on Android.
They released the video mainly, as far as I can tell, to remind people that they're working on this. Kudos to them though, there are definitely uses for this.
Personally, I'd rather not run webOS over Android. I have little trust in Google playing nice for an extended period of time. If at all possible, I'd much rather just buy a "supported" device and replace Android entirely as I have no interest in using Android on anything. But it would be cool for all of those folks who already have "non-supported" Android devices to be able to use their old webOS apps and Synergy and stuff.
Is this comparable to Classic, which gave the ability to run Palm OS progams on webOS?
Sounds like the approach Palm had to run PalmOS on webOS. Run inside "Classic".
Is it something akin to the Kindle Fire HD? If yes then i would go for it! :)
I don't like running webOS on Android or any other OS. We all should support and push for webOS as the Primary OS on its own device. Openmail? (if true) is the best type of relationship between us and Android world! The best path for us is to support every part of webOS: Gram, Open webOS, community Internal and ...).
Don't get me wrong, I'm a diehard webOS fan (have a Pre- and 3, Pixi and TP) and want to desparately see it eventually gain widespread adoption I actually think this is a good idea .... provided they can pull it off (as Derek correctly says)..
Whilst not ideal, having webOS or at least lunasysmgr run atop Android will allow webOS to have exposure to ppl who probably wouldn't even think about hacking their Android phone to run webOS.. Think of it as akin to allowing a Windows user to test Ubuntu in VirtualBox before taking the plunge.. low risk and might even result in a conversion to the desire to actually go ahead and install the port from webOS Ports .. try before u buy!
That is of course, if they can pull it off... in any case, it's better that the two organisations are doing different things.. we don't want duplication of effort!!
This concept it's similar to the app from Canonical, Ubuntu for Android, running both systems on top of the same kernel. Nice project!
Hah, I remember thinking about something like this a few months ago, considering people are running Windows 98 on an iPhone it should be similarly possible to run webOS inside a virtualized environment. The only thing that's left if the main system works is connecting the telephony from Android to webOS and allowing webOS to handle calls and texts. Have anyone researched on whether or not webOS and Android running concurrently under the same kernel is feasible?
Just wondering, how exactly is webOS booting? I see a lot of Android action, and all of a sudden webOS pops up. Huh? Loaded at start, launched through ADB, or secretly jump cutted?
This sounds great.
I'm happy with my Pre3, but if I ever have to get a new phone, I hope the Phoenix project will be available on Android phones by then (I don't like my wife's Android phone)
It would be cool if the Graffiti virtual keyboard on Android could work with WebOS on top. (I'm sad that Graffiti is not available for WebOS).
phoenix internation is a real thing right, not that Chris Williams nonsense?
Really pleased to hear Phoenix working on WebOS as an app in Android.
In my opinion it can only add to curiosity among Android users and thus raise the profile of WebOS.
That and the fact that open WebOS is gathering pace is really encouraging.
I have had a Pre 3 for a year now and will patiently consider a replacement in a year or two.
By that time I'm sure one of the two aforementioned projects will mean I can continue to enjoy and rely on WebOS on new hardware.
The more options and projects for WebOS the better, though I hope we don't end up with too many variations of webOS that might put off or confuse app developers and end users.
Well done Phoenix - keep it up and all the best!
Somebody please give homebrew devs a good camera and some soft lighting!!!
The webOS "INCEPTION" App
While I'm an Android guy, I'd prefer this to be the other way around: open webOS running Dalvik so we can have a webOS phone with access to all 650k Android apps.
Normally I promote anything to further the cause of webOS. The rub here is that I don't know how Phoenix is "furthering the cause" with this particular development. Perhaps this is just a waypoint of sorts...of developing with hardware and APIs through android, etc. However, if this IS the project, then I highly suspect that it will be a huge waste of time and may just further dilute the name/reputation of webOS.
Trying to make webOS run as just an app or a "skin" on top of another OS seems counter-intuitive and it also has so many pitfalls its not funny. Phone, camera, other apps "inside" of other apps, wi-fi, memory usage, Bluetooth, other accessories...the list goes on. How many of these function would actually work flawlessly? How many crashes would you have? You really have to ask yourself if this is remotely possible and to what end? Lastly, even if there are no major flaws or crashes (stretch), how would it perform overall? If the UI of the "app" didn't at least come close to the performance of the Pre3 or the Touchpad, I think it would further degrade the perception of webOS and actually deter usage and acceptance.
In short, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and I can only see how no good can come from this.
It could save them a lot of time if they are able to tie into Android's HAL and then basically unload Android (ship it off into some vRAM space on /sdcard for quick startup later) and run webOS on top of that, they would have a winner. It would definitely save a lot of time trying to make different aspects of the hardware work, and has a possibility of being more stable overall.
