Christmas Time

Christmas, one of the most important days of the year...

It depends of your age and your religion if it is actually that important...

Now-a-days it isn't what it used to be, no more a family reunion and no more the happiest times!

As you grow up you lose the fantasy behind children's christmas, and Christians no longer give much importance to this day...

The genuine spirit has been lost and for children is just the day that they recive much presents as their parents can afford give them, for christians it is just the day for wich they have to cook enought to feed a wale and the most religiouse thing they do is go to the midnight mass.

Christmas without presents?

christmas without presents is like fish without water, for many kids...

In the days we live in people give to much importnce to that habit, and now for many kids thats what christmas all about.

A big incovinient about christmas time is the amont of light and stuff that citys use to give people an environment of love, friendship and joy...

But behind all that the electic energie waste, that costs to much money to city halls should be reduced!

Genetically modified food

Genetically Modified Food

Benefits

Genetically modified food has got his own benefits...

Majorly GMF is useful because in some cases it is a huge help for some of the producers, cause it is cheaper to produce in way that they can produce more and pay less that for normal food...

For sure GMF's aren't yet scientifically proved to be has good has normal food, but it is a fact we have to consider that GMF can help people financilly.

Controversies
GMF can harm human health , including allergens.

Another problem that cames with GMF are the potential environmental impacts, including: unknown effects (like death) organisms. And loss of fauna and flora biodiversaty....

In the realities which would you rather live in?

Option a)

Option b)

Choose quickly, because we are running out of time...

Ecotourism

Ecotourism is:

- A practice of enlightened people and well-educated, aware of issues related to ecology and sustainable development in pursuit of furthering knowledge and experiences on the topics of environment;

- A practice less exploitative and aggressive on culture and local environment than traditional forms of tourism;

- One way to minimize your own environmental impact;

- A form which helps environmental conservation;

- An increase in environmental and cultural knowledge and intercultural understanding;

- An action that is financially viable and open to all.

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).

Solar energy!

Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun through the form of solar radiation. Solar powered electrical generation relies on photovoltaics and heat engines.

A partial list of other solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.

To capture solar energy the best resurces are photovoltaics panels,

wicht aren't very expensive, and the rate of "sucess" isn't exciting...

Anyway, we all should fell a bit satisfied by knowing that, progress is being made to reduce the number of fossil fuel used...

Fossil fuels!

Fossil fuel are the most used energy resucess since they had been discovered.

unfortunatly they aren't very environment friendly, and they are not renewable...

Man kind should be soo dependent on them, 'cause some day, not very far, they will be gone!

By that day we will be finely comited to discover and explor renewable energy...

But, progress are already been made in that area, anyway they are to expensive at this time, in a way that it isn't at everyone's service.

Alternatives to Animal Experiments

Thanks to advances in modern technology and a growing number of scientists engaged there are alternatives to animal experimentation. These alternatives, secure, innovative and reliable, not only saved the lives of animals, but often also provide the necessary information in a short time and at lower cost than traditional animal tests.

Although many scientists conclude that no alternative non-animal so far developed can completely replace animal tests.

Companies are able to avoid animal tests to have confidence in a range of non-animal alternatives, including in vitro technology .

Save Animals!

Avoid products that are tested in animals...

Would you still use your products if you knew that some animals were

killed to conceive it?

Animal Testing

Animal testing is cruel... even if it means progress to medicin! Animals are living beings like us, and we don't believe that humans would like to be used in research for medical progress, our to test beauty products...

we should not establish differences between the spieces used,

ans the test made...

All animals should be respected and scientist should focus in finding a way to test

their products without hurting animals...

Animal Testing

Animal testing is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very

Vegetarian Diet

Human beings do not need to eat meat in order to maintain good health because they can get all their food needs from meatless products and meatless substances. A vegetarian diet is not in fact a real solution... what we can do instead is avoid killing animals to "feed" the fashion world, and to "feed" hunting sports.

Animals should be respected as the living creatures they are, in the way that we all should feel guilt and sorrow for the already extint spieces and the ones who are being threatened.

Energy Dependence

Energy is in everything. We use energy to do everything we do, from baking our favourite cookies to sending astronauts into space -- energy is there, making sure we have the power to do it all. We should save more energy, if we continue to use it like we have been, in a few years we will not have energy to turn on our TV`s, we are too dependent on energy sources in the way that if we need to face energy crisis we are doomed...

Struggle against Pollution

Until we all decide to change the way that we live day-to-day, the environment will become progressively worse. Nowdays we expend more resources and energy than ever, and if we continue like that, the environment will not last. We have to take measures, we have to stop the environment suffering, we have to do something and very quick...
We can not only think about ourself, we must think also about the generations to come. Our planet shouldn´t be treated this way. We should all come together in the way that we most grow stronger with the porpose of saving Planet Earth.

How it is...

How it should be.


The ugly truth!

seals slaughter

All along human history animal have been sacrificed for almost everything...
let's take the example of baby seal (or older ones):

• they are killed so that humans can use their skin...



• once again man shows how selfish he might be!

But, what if they did the same to us?

Foo Fighters - learn to fly

" I'm looking to the sky to save me

Looking for a sign of life

Looking for something to help me burn out bright

I'm looking for complication

Looking cause I'm tired of lying

Make my way back home when I learn to fly high "

Easter in Ireland

Those in Ireland, who traditionally observe religious holidays, do so with great reverence at this time of year. As with other holidays, the people of Ireland vigorously clean and whitewash their homes. This time of year is traditionally known as the time to shop for new clothes. Easter marks a new season, a time of change, which is why cleaning the house and buying a new wardrobe is ingrained in the culture.

Lent is a quiet time of year for butchers due to so many people eating only fish in observance of the Lenten season. Some butchers even throw serious or mock celebrations for Easter, marking the end of Lent. There are specific customs and observations for each day around Easter Sunday.

This is a time period to respect Jesus' hardest part of his journey with the cross. Mass is a well-known observation on this day but after attending mass, some parts of Ireland use this time to visit gravesites. However the Irish observe this solemn day, it is with reverence and respect for the memory of Christ and for their community of people coming together to show respect for this holy day.

Many areas of the world include Easter eggs in some way into their celebration. Ireland is no different although, the egg is a central part of Easter Sunday. Eggs are not only collected, dyed, decorated, used in games such as egg rolling but they are eaten as well. People consume a large quantity of eggs on this day. The origin of the traditions involving eggs is a simple but powerful symbol of new life.

LeRoi Moore

LeRoi Holloway Moore (September 7, 1961 – August 19, 2008) was an American saxophonist best known as a founding member of the Dave Matthews Band. Moore often arranged music for the songs written by frontman Dave Matthews. Moore also co-wrote many of the band's songs, notably "Too Much" and "Stay (Wasting Time)".

Moore began playing professionally after a brief stay in college. Moore helped found the Charlottesville Swing Orchestra (1982), and the John D'earth Quintet. The latter played at Miller's, a Charlottesville bar, every Thursday night in the late 1980s, where Moore first met Dave Matthews in 1991. In an effort to bring in some instrumental help for some songs Matthews had written, Moore began recording songs with Matthews.

Unfortunately, in June 30th 2008, Moore had an accident with a motorcycle, and was badly injured. But it was during the recovery of the accident that Moore passed away, leading the world to lost one of the greatest musicians, and impoverish one of the best band ever.

That is why all the DMB fans miss him.

Eddie Vedder

Eddie Vedder is one of the best musicians ever, at least for us. His band, Pearl Jam is one of our favourite, so we find that the best way to show it is posting a little bit of his bio.

Eddie Vedder is an American musician and singer-songwriter who serves as the lead vocalist and one of three guitarists for the American rock band Pearl Jam. Vedder left the Southern California music scene and moved to Seattle, Washington in 1990 to join Pearl Jam where he rose to fame amid the grunge movement of the early 1990s. He is notable for his "golden baritone" vocal style, and is considered a cultural icon of alternative rock. He has also been involved in other music outside of Pearl Jam, including soundtrack work and contributions to albums by other artists. In 2007, Vedder released his first solo album as a soundtrack for the film Into the Wild (2007). Vedder was placed twenty-third by Hit Parader in their list of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time.
Vedder was born Edward Louis Severson in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, the son of Karen Lee Vedder and Edward Louis Severson, Jr. His father was a lounge musician. His parents divorced in 1965, when Vedder was one year old. His mother soon remarried a man named Peter Mueller, an attorney, and Vedder was raised believing that Mueller was his biological father. His adopted name became Edward Mueller. While living in Evanston, Vedder's family fostered seven younger children in a group home.

In the mid-1970s, the family, including Vedder's three younger half-brothers, moved to San Diego County, California. It was at this point that Vedder, who had received a guitar from his mother on his twelfth birthday, began turning to music as a source of comfort. He particularly found solace in The Who's 1973 album, Quadrophenia. He said, "When I was around 15 or 16...I felt all alone...I was all alone—except for music." His mother and Mueller divorced when Vedder was in his late teens. His mother and brothers moved back to the Chicago area, but Vedder remained with his stepfather in California so he would not have to change high schools.

It was not until after the divorce that Vedder learned the truth about his parentage, that Mueller was really his stepfather. Vedder had met his biological father briefly as a child, but had believed that Severson was merely an old friend of his parents. By the time Vedder learned the truth, Severson had died of multiple sclerosis. Vedder's already bad relationship with his stepfather became increasingly strained. By his senior year at San Dieguito High School, Vedder was on his own, living in an apartment and supporting himself with a nightly job at a drug store in Encinitas. He eventually dropped out of high school in his senior year due to the pressures of balancing school with working. He joined the rest of his family in Chicago, and it was at this time that he changed his name to Eddie Vedder, Vedder being his mother's maiden name.

After some musical experiences Vedder ended up with Pearl Jam, and forming one of the best bands ever!

The Time Machine

He had been working at it for years as his father and grandfather before him, He knew that if he was persistent he would get there eventually. As he contemplated the devise he felt pride and joy for he was to fulfil his lifetime dream-to travel in time and that´s exactly what he did - he travelled to the past to meet his grandfather.
After spending some time looking for his grandfather, he finally did it. There he was, in the basement working on the machine:
-Who are you and what are you doing here?
-Hello…try to stay calm! You may not belive but I am your grandson and I come from the future to meet you and…
-And what?
-Well, if I am here it´s because I managed to…
-…you managed to finish the Time Machine?!
-Can you belive it? I have succeeded.
-Can I see it? I promise not to touch anything!
-Ok but only for a few minutes.
Meanwhile the grandfather could see the Time Machine and to go back to the past…alone.
Both alone but both feeling proud and happy.

In the Future...

We woke up suddenly...The alarm-clock showed 5 am, we looked around and we saw somethig wasn't right... We were in a strange place, and we noticed that place was new for as... We were confused 'cause we didn't know what was happening... Fastly we dress up some clothes that were there (like a labcoat)... We looked for a exit but only after a few hours we found it...
We were in the street and looked crazy 'cause of our labcoats and... the streets...people... everything was changed.... it looked like those movies of the future, we asked people what year it was.... surprise surprise: 2110!
We managed to find some proper clothes, and we decided that we would look up for a reason for us to live to the age 116 and still be young.
Science was the reason... Our last memory was being in a car with one more person and had a car crash... apparently this fourth person died, he was the driver... Well, after the crash we went in coma, and our bodies were given to a science lab, and they managed to conserve our bodies and minds to live in the future....
At first it was a shock, and we "cried" our family and friends 'cause they were gone, but after that we dedicate ourselves to find a new and good life... well we looked out for girls and jobs... We were for independent and a great money compensation and guess what? We got rich... And our lives became really cool: A good house near each others house, a GOOD car and some good company.... Of course, we got ourselves some good projects, we invested in a robots company, and most of all to develop technology...

Games

All over the years video games have been getting great influence in teens' lives.
Violent games, more precisely, can be considered a bad influence because experts say that violent games lead kids to violence.
Fortunately there are more types of games. Unfortunately, shooting games and fighting games are the favourites in many teens. The reasons are quite a few, most relevant is the stress, and the opportunity of doing what they can't do in real life, to Kill.
Anyway we are not into these type of games very much. We are more fans of PES (pro evolution soccer), the best soccer simulation.


Zé Pedro says that his favourite games are PES10 and Call of Duty, two different types of games but that both require Strategy.
Carlos shares Zé's opinion about PES, but instead of COD he prefers Counter Strike. Why?
Ask Him...
Just kidding the reason is practically the same...
Francisco, the cute one from the 3Gents, prefers curiously PES10 also, but instead of COD or Counter Strike he prefers Medal of Honor...

The difference between this tree types of games (COD, CS, and MOH) is the story behende them. Medal pf honor is about the world war two, COD his about todays war so its more actual.
Counter strike is just shooting... The fun in this one is the fact that we can play it online.


But for the sleepless nights together the 3Gents love Uncharted.

The evil scientist

I followed the evil scientist into a dark room. What I saw, I would never forget...
A Blond girl, beautiful,white and clean , a lovely face so pure and genuine.
She was lieing down on a table, apparently sleeping. That was when I saw the scientist preparing to instal a machine on the top of her.
At the begining I didn't understand what he was doing, but them he switched on the machine, and... Was he trying to clone her? Apparently yes, but all went wrong...
That was When I Fell down and he got me... I was surprised but he did not hurt me, he helped me... As he saw the surprise in my face he explained me that once that girl was his lover, that died of a disease and he was trying to bring her back to life again.
He also explained to me that all his attempts went wrong... I asked if there was anything I could do to help... Bitterly, he told me no.... That this mission was his, and only his, so that he could show her once again how much he loved her.
He just asked me one thing, not to tell anyone...
Although, I didn't understand that wish, I respected it... He was going to keep the reputation of evil scientist so that noone got into his "mission".

Sunglasses

Sunglasses or sun glasses are a form of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the eye pupil in order to prevent strong light, ultraviolet (UV) rays, and increasingly, blue light ("blue blocking") from penetrating. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist which feature lenses that are colored, polarized or darkened. In the early 20th century they were also known as sun cheaters (cheaters being an American slang term for glasses).
Many people find direct sunlight too bright for comfort. During outdoor activities, the human eye can receive more light than usual. Healthcare professionals recommend eye protection whenever outside to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and blue light, which can cause several serious eye problems. Sunglasses have long been associated with celebrities and film actors primarily from a desire to hide or mask their identity. Since the 1940s sunglasses have been popular as a fashion accessory, especially on the beach.

LEGO

The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The Company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world’s fifth-largest manufacturer of toys.
Fun LEGO facts:
• More than 400 million children and adults will play with LEGO bricks this year.
• LEGO products are on sale in more than 130 countries.
• Approx. seven LEGO sets are sold each second.
• Approx. 19 billion LEGO elements are made every year in Billund – equivalent to
approx. 2m elements an hour or 36,000 a minute.
• On average there are 62 LEGO bricks for every person on earth.
• The world’s children spend 5 billion hours a year playing with LEGO bricks.
• With a production of about 306 million tyres a year, the LEGO Group is the world’s
largest tyre manufacturer.
• In the manufacture of LEGO bricks the machine tolerance is as small as 0.002 mm
• The LEGO Club has 2.7 million members worldwide.
• Approx. 440 billion LEGO elements have been manufactured since 1949.

Mirror

A mirror is an object with at least one polished and therefore specularly reflective surface.
The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat surface. Curved mirrors are also used, to produce magnified or diminished images or focus light or simply distort the reflected image.
The first mirrors used by people were most likely pools of dark, still water, or water collected in a primitive vessel of some sort. The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass.

I Believe that mirrors are one of the most useful enventions ever, 'cause it can provide us our image, in the way we may take care of our stile (this applies mainly to womans). But this isn't the only application for mirrors in cars for example is also important to help the driver (and more...).

So mirrors have a lot of functions, and we can conclude that in some way they make our life easier.

Just breathe is one of the new songs from the amamzing Pearl Jam. This song talks about life and love.
Has the song tells us we most enjoy life the best we can, and be in the company of the people you love and you really consider a friend, a true friend.
The way we live our life should make who we are, and the way we relate to the people we love should make as foulfild. And in the end, when we are knoking on evens doors we may leave this world felling good with ourselfes and the life we lived, knowing that we leave someone crying for us but that we will meet tham again, oon the otherside.

Pearl Jam Rocks! <3

Technology.

Technology is making many people lazier than ever. In fact, now-a-days people don't like to move their "butts", not even just to turn on the TV (etc...).
Luckily in our case it has affected us, but it isn't very serious, because we consider ourselves active people.
Sure we like to waste our time doing nothing, and just play our video games, our surfing the internet, but we don't let it get to us soo hard.
What we prefer, or at least we use more are mobile phones, PC, playstation, and in Carlos' case the Ipod.
Now speaking more generally, people only get affected by technology if they want to, 'cause outdoors there are soo many activities and soo much fun that (if we want to) it will not be replaced by technology. We need to know to distinguish the two worlds.

Considering school work, it depends of the kind of student we are. A few years ago students need to be more dedicated and apply more to their skils, but in the days we live in it's not soo good 'cause most of students don't understand what they are doing, and don't even try, they just google it and copy and paste.
If we want too we can make much better work than this, but the problem is that students are getting lazier and lazier.... such that many aspects of a student's life are getting lost our just forgoten, anyway we can not sit down and let technology do everything for us.

Holocaust

What Does Holocaust Mean?

The Holocaust began in 1933 when Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers.
The term "Holocaust," originally from the Greek word "holokauston" which means "sacrifice by fire," refers to the Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish
people. The Hebrew word "Shoah," which means "devastation, ruin, or waste," is also used for this genocide.
In addition to Jews, the Nazis targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled for persecution. Anyone who resisted the Nazis was sent to forced labor or murdered.
The term "Nazi" is an acronym for "Nationalsozialistishe Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" ("National Socialist German Worker's Party").
The Nazis used the term "the Final Solution" to refer to their plan to murder the Jewish people.

Ghettos

After the beginning of World War II, Nazis began ordering all Jews to live within certain, very specific, areas of big cities, called ghettos.
Jews were forced out of their homes and moved into smaller apartments, often shared with other families.
Some ghettos started out as "open," which meant that Jews could leave the area during the daytime but often had to be back within the ghetto by a curfew. Later, all ghettos became "closed," which meant that Jews were trapped within the confines of the ghetto and not allowed to leave.
When the Nazis decided to kill the remaining Jews in a ghetto, they would "liquidate" a ghetto by boarding the last Jews in the ghetto on trains.
When the Nazis attempted to liquidate the Warsaw Ghetto on April 13, 1943, the remaining Jews fought back in what has become known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Jewish resistance fighters held out against the entire Nazi regime for 28 days, longer than many European countries had been able to withstand Nazi conquest.

Concentration and Extermination Camps

Although many people refer to all Nazi camps as "concentration camps," there were actually a number of different kinds of camps, including concentration camps, extermination camps, labor camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and transit camps.

Jewish customs

Flowers are normally not sent, for the following reasons:
Simplicity. The tradition in Judaism is to keep funerals as
simple as possible, to make everyone equal in death.
Tradition. Although flowers are not prohibited, the custom arose over time of not sending flowers, and making contributions instead. In ancient days, the Talmud informs us, fragrant flowers and spices were used at the funeral to offset the odor of the decaying body. Today, this is no longer essential and thus, many Jews do not use them at Jewish funerals at all. Most feel it is much better to honor the deceased by making a contribution to a synagogue or hospital, or to a medical research association for the disease which afflicted the deceased. This method of tribute is more lasting and meaningful.
Instead of flowers Jews usually put small white rocks.

Watch

The first watch made was invented by Abraham Louis Bréguet as a gift for Caroline Murat, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1814.The invention was assigned to Athoni Patek and Adrien Phillipe owners of Patek-Phillipe. The model became popular as a feminine fashion adornment.At the XX century, Santos Dumont by needing one, because he always had his hands dirty asked his friend Louis Cartier, to invent a watch for him. In 1904 the watch was finally made, and so because of this Santos Dumont was considered the responsible for the invention of man’s watch.
The first great war became very important, sinse soldiers needed it to kowns the houres of the missions.

In Carlos opinion watches are an usefull invention becaouse it help us arrive on time.
In josé opinion watches are more fashionable at the summer.
Francisco's opinion is that Watchs are also fashionable and usefull.

Science-Fiction

Science-fiction is probably admired by everybody because it makes us dream with those amazing experience.
Science-fiction movies, are in most of the cases great. Special effects are spectacular, and the majority of the movies have a great story making us want to be there among all that excitation and those wonderful adventures.
All the three of us appreciate science-fiction movies because the movies are usually
very well designed, whit special effects and sound tracks to which we most give value.
In Carlos` case he really likes "Transformers" thanks to the amazing story and good and pretty actors (Megan Fox), by the way the special effects are great.
Francisco prefers the "Lord of The Rings" 'cause of the fresh fight and adventures for the Human race against the evil force.
José agrees with Carlos and Francisco adding that the sound tracks, the main actors and the fact that being a feature only makes it better.

Vampires.

Vampires. What nice people (or not)... Now-a-days vampires are among all TV channels, and famous movies. We don't really think that it is a fascinating thing, but Twilight movies are making girls crazy becouse Stephanie Meyer has designed vampires like these pretty and mysterious creatures.
We are not criticizing vampires' fans, we are just saying that we don't really make the case of liking it.
By the way, this new type of vampires are cute, like Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed, and the movies are designed very well with a different and fresh type of story that is changing the point of view of many people about the subject (a love story is always a love story <3), and the special effects are also amazing.
The myth of vampires has won many fans, and many of the new fans don't really know the age of the first myth. What we mean is that maybe this new fascination is probably temporary and probably will be forgotten after this twilight saga finishes...

And in case of being in the presence of a "true" vampire, we advise you to RUN.

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
Today..

And then dance if you want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make us understand
We're all part of the masterplan

Say it loud and sing it proud
Today..
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
Cause everything that's been has past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they..

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make you understand
We're all part of the masterplan
