Today is St. Stephen King Wenceslas and visit churches barefoot. In fact, it was not a king, but a duke, the Duke of Bohemia , to be exact. His biographer sculpts as an intelligent, docile and extraordinary inclination to everything good. It says in defending the oppressed and helping the poor with generosity, which eliminated banned torture and the gallows. Lover of peace, fought in single combat against neighboring Prince Gurima, Radislao, who tried to invade Bohemia, to prevent a war and the shedding of innocent blood. To all this must be added to his great devotion to the Christian faith and filial affection to the Virgin Mary, faith, not only showed in fervent prayers, but in acts, as mentioned above and in a way of life that touched the sanctity . Their way of life made him, therefore, win the empathy of the people, to the point that at his death, murdered by his younger brother Bolesvab, was considered a martyr and a saint and also posthumously was conferred the title and real dignity.
The italicized letters that begin this post, form the first verse of the carol "Good King Wenceslas" (Good King Wenceslas). The song tells the custom of the holy prince visit barefoot in snow overnight, the churches. During the journey, his page is about to resign because of the cold, but manages to keep the heat emanating from the king's footprints in the snow. The letter, which vaguely remember, for only heard 2 or 3 times, says:
Today is St. Stephen and King Wenceslas visit churches barefoot. walks at night on frozen ground, the king accompanied by one servant.
Cold is the night, everything is covered with snow. "My lord, I can not follow you walk" "On my feet, put your feet frozen, see how you can keep walking." Bloody Footprints
King has left warm and hot for his servant. By putting them in his footsteps servant feels comforted all over again.
The melody is "Tempus Adest floridum" ("Time of flowers"), a spring carol XIII century. It must be said that the letter the original carol is something different from what I have set and, moreover, only because he is considered a carol sung at the Feast of St. Stephen, on 26 December. With
Al-Lawrence for helping me with the letter and for bringing me Adolfo music. ^ ^
These will be a Christmas very different from recent years. To start we have had to cross the Ocean Sea, to say Christopher Columbus, to be with our family. Although we will not fly back to reunite with our loved ones in that part of the planet. This year
have not had to consider whether to buy gifts to bring them to Spain or buy them here to bring something back. No, this Christmas or even think about gifts. I particularly annoying to me the idea of \u200b\u200breceiving gifts. You know me is very difficult to hit, but this year the error is guaranteed. At this point we have considered not sending Christmas to anyone, nor do we have received, except for Isidoro Alvarez, president of El Corte Ingles, which is a gentleman and has a bureaucracy that never fails.
This Christmas we will not have to walk from house to house family members, as in previous dates have not gone from house to house friends goodbye until next year. This year here and we're very visible. Relatives are no longer coming from America for Christmas, but those who came here to stay and continue. We lost him exoticism and privileges, which, incidentally, not strange at all.
This year's Christmas to me sounds like something far away that has nothing to do with us and you better go, swift and fast, without the noticing. Because the simple fact come look see what is causing me, my dear friend.
This Christmas we will not celebrate the reunion with the family as we tasted a good ham. Nor do we celebrate it back in Costa Rica, well with a glass of Old Parr in hand, or sipping a steaming cup of Costa Rican coffee. This Christmas will be different because of that, my dear friend, because there will be no reunion. And let me tell you there is no Christmas reunion, at least for us.
Sometimes, someone discovers something and you take a look and you like. So you decide to try it, write and leave these things. The black background and the cat, too, and can that iguanas are not, perhaps, set by aesthetic whim. Kir advised, on the other hand, to visualize the complete screen GLOG not to be the view in the attempt
in good theory, man is one of the few mammals that do not need a set of individuals to live. Thus, goats, zebras and bison herd living in such a way that protects the group in its development throughout the world. The wolf also needs the pack, but mostly for to hunt and sabotage and collective protection of their prey. The man, although living in society, which is that which provides a number of advantages over living alone, it requires a relatively small group of its kind for protection or hunting ... or yes.
Because the reality is far to certify that individual capacity, or individualist-that human beings possess. We need the pack because we are slaves of that feeling consistent in being part of a group such as goats and bison. It is no protection against predators, but against loneliness and world at large that we look with eyes rare if we could qualify.
Belonging to a tribe means, first identification. Thus, for example, may belong to the tribe village cock. To this we must outsource a number of shapes and behaviors of the same. Yesterday I had a chance to go to a charity market, a place which bring together the members of this clan, much larger than can be imagined. "Have you gone through the post Cuqui -note the absence of the use of k-, has a Loewe handbags ideals?" He says a friend, dressed in the garb typical of the tribe, to another equally dressed for the occasion. "Then I bought a bracelet Juanchi balance in the post Piluca because he said that Fefi Toti had been great to play again paddle, "replies the second. Join
a tribe does not prevent individuals have then a smaller group to belong: the gang or Pandi. In this case it's not just custom, but everyday life is addressed to some extent by the collective of which he is a member. The gang determines certain aspects of the lives of individuals, mainly leisure time. In this way one need not be obliged to think for himself, does the herd by one.
"Where we go the weekend? "asks the husband to his wife on Wednesday night. "I do not know, I have to speak to the rock , but I think on Saturday we went to rent a house in the mountains" is the answer. Obviously that "I have to talk to the club", meaning "that we have only spoken since last week." The key is in the impersonation and that does not close the door to the guy to propose or disagrees, which will not happen because it would contravene the fundamentals of membership Pandi.
Clearly, being part of a community of this type has many advantages. To start reducing the risk of mistakes. Especially since one does not choose, nor is it responsible for the election. Also, if you follow the unwritten rules on dress or customs of the herd, the individual can hardly get out of ideal standards. Ideal for the tribe, that is. An example is the dress of the men of the tribe cock. Just wear the clothes must- the moment: the Belstaff jacket tight black above the waist, long sleeve polo with large letters, "no matter what you put while clearly incorporating the words" Polo Team "and the mark is Hackett or La Martina - and the shoes seem to shoes, mostly for color.
Although the example used is that of a particular group and a high degree of acceptance by the public, do not forget that there are many tribes, even those that are advertised as far away from any aspect of life in society, follow the same pattern. The flock is the flock, whether of sheep, buffalo or jevis .
As has been said here , individuality is one of the most cherished values \u200b\u200bof elegance. Living in society entails accepting certain rules and live with our own species. Something else is to follow the issued from the others by the mere fact of belonging to a certain group of individuals that, soon to stop and reflect, we separate more things that unite us.
No, oddly enough I have nothing against the letter "b", what happens is that after so much blow and joke, the Italian people and the not-so-Italian, has decided to take up weapons and express their revulsion Il Cavaliere in Berluscony not Day, on 5 December. In the end, as the text did not come on t reduced it to No B-Day , thing, on the other hand, enough practice, because we can translate by No BenedictoXVI Day, Day BAhmadineyad not and other Names beginning with b. It would also be a source of great joy and rejoicing that the B Day No were to become a No B Year and even rushing a little imagination, a No B Life, lest they pass like us, who said he was retiring and still haunts giving tips and recipes grandmother's miraculous.
It seems that people have begun to lose their own basic skills of life in society. As stated by here , rulers have given up on education, so what we prescribe are laws governing each of the steps in our daily lives, from mobile phone use to how and when we can take a bath on the beach.
But if we go a little further, we found that We not only make laws that straitjacket our public activities, but also private ones are subject to continuous review by the justice. All this with the difficulty that we do willingly.
some extent what we are witnessing, almost without realizing it, is an ongoing prosecution, not civil service, which does not seem to have more control mechanism that enforces the judiciary, but of the privacy. Who has more and who less a matter being resolved in court. Even starts to be a sign of social status go around saying things like "is that I have a guy wearing a suit because I had five thousand euros. "so much" you see a lawyer. In addition to the lawyer you have to deal in the possessive: "Tomorrow I have a meeting with my lawyer," especially when there are several: "My lawyers are going to put him turkey demand this to be crap ", with apologies.
This have many lawyers and prosecute everyone begins to show signs of fashion. A sort of trend that happens to go prescribing judgments or lawsuit threats as a method of understanding between individuals. "Or do what I want or you get a complaint," seems to be the slogan that runs from mouth to mouth without realizing that this is a last resort and not a practice usual understanding among people.
other words, judgments be putting anyone who greets us, or let us greet, not cool. The really smart, as well as intelligent, is to reach agreement. Although perhaps see the celebrity aggrandize both by way of trial, we believe it is the logical, modern. "If Belén Esteban goes on trial in court, I'm not going to be less" is the motivation of some. Especially now that we see members of the aristocracy, mostly aristocrats of marriage for money, claiming their peers. Then it even has to be elegant of litigation that continuously. Since the legendary
Mayor Jerez Pedro Pacheco , certified for years that "justice is a joke." Now all that we are witnessing the delivery of our ability to reach understanding, negotiate or even live. So we leave it to a third party who specializes in interpreting laws, the decisions we do not want or can not take, when we seek is not some kind of revenge or redress against neighbor.
Yesterday I had a friend who has been sued seventeen times in a month by her former partner. I am inclined to think that what they want these guys are back in court so they were not able to get into the house ... or in bed.
Believe it or not the gentle reader, the crisis that we suffer some joy creates situations for certain individuals. A clear example of what I say can be observed in the cheap, that is, those individuals who make their meanness a way of life. When all is happiness and prosperity to the greedy find it hard to hide. However, in crisis, rampant, but equally they can identify.
The stingy now complaining with the same or more profusely, even with full bank account, that individuals who have difficulty making ends meet. They believe that they do notice that strain, but they see it coming. First lugar porque esbozan una leve sonrisa cuando afirman eso de "es que la cosa está muy mala y no se puede ir tirando el dinero", o aquello otro de "hay que mirar hasta el último céntimo".
En segundo lugar porque lo dicen justo en el momento de ir a pagar. En ese doloroso trance, el avaro saca tímidamente las monedas del bolsillo o mira la cuenta con detenimiento antes de que le dé el aire a su billetera, dependiendo del importe a intentar que pague otro. Durante esa misma situación el no-ruin, pero arruinado, saca la cartera y el exiguo billete para hacer frente a su parte, cuando no para intentar invitar. La diferencia se nota. Cuando no tiene más remedio que hacer frente a la cuenta, al tacaño le entra la prisa. Want to pay and go quickly, like committing a sin and does not want to see or try to forget soon.
But there are degrees of meanness, a custom which, in itself, does not necessarily mean lack of refinement, provided that it is with some stealth and without removing much to walk. The highest degree, as I said, comes out on account of this in the crisis. Knowing the personal economic situation, the mean moves like a fish in water in search of the bargain, the advantage, definitely. Thus, the mean advantage of the situation of the counterparty to make reckless deals with the clear aim of profiting from the weakness in the negotiating position of the other.
I've lived it firsthand. Some think that through a good economic situation is synonymous with bargains to be exploited with relish. Hence it has to bear most offers imaginative have no hesitation in camouflage aid, when in fact nothing more than attempts to take advantage of the rough waters. It is all profit, because if he wins bid is accepted, if not accepted as it is intended only as a favor. Menudo please!.
The greedy, the mean, the mean, not only overcoming the crisis peacefully, but that is enjoying. Very careful with them.
not remember what day it was, only that he was lying, based on Jean's breast when we heard a tremendous slam. - Who is coming? There was no response. climbed to the battlements, and there he was, wearing a brown coat Travel and no more belongings than his own self
"Let me Jean-Claude

remained impassive. "Let me
Jean hit the ground with its tail making her tremble.
Nothing, not even a jump reflex to escape the attack, just a smile and the same "let go" before
This man is an idiot, "whispered Jean. I approached him and looked down:
- Who are you?
- Let me
- No What do you want to enter? There's nothing here that may interest you, we have no wealth, no dishes, no company except that of my great dragons.
At this point the story, should know what was the response. Jean
snorted violent.
For those who have never been here, I will say that I have a wall 20 feet high and 6 meters wide, protected by 3 magnificent dragons. Jean-Claude, was the first to arrive, not literally, then bought the 3 units at the same time, if not, "metaphorically." Welsh dragon is 5 years, with shades of orange skin inequality, as the sun goes off to the west. Fiery character, but full of tenderness, is, so to speak, a great friend and the pair, a terrible enemy. Smile when flying over the village, children in amazement as you point out: "Yan-CIO, Yan-Clo"
- never hear someone pronounce my name - You're right, Jean
I think I am of the few people , which requires not mention his full name.
It was three days after the incident. Attempts to Jean-Claude and his bad temper and throw the cake were in vain,
. Go thou up, to see if they can convince - airier said obeyed and looked to see the traveler
- Still still here ?
I stared. Jean felt to sit behind me. No I would spin it took to know that he was giving one of her best looks.
We went down to see that we got no response
- It takes just three days there, waiting why do not we go?
- Because we need to know who you want, really, go. Knowing who asks simple protocol or formality, and who does so without ulterior motives.
- wary of the praise must be given no basis or those that occur too quickly.
smiled: it is fun to say things at the same time.

imagine that many of us have a preset idea about the profile of women having abortions in our country. I had it. But in the midst of controversy over changing the law on abortion - a tremendous understatement! - I happened to read a report published by the Ministry of Health displayed the statistics of abortion in Spain. Some are very significant, at least to remove my apriorism about this issue.
Around 63 percent of women who abort are employed or receiving a pension. More than 50 percent of those who had abortions in 2008 have at least one child. Banter has the details under the heading: "Number of children living today." Maybe it's because 33 percent had aborted before, some five or more times, was 0.70 percent. No education 3 percent, while the university reached 14 percent. 24 percent are married, while only 13 percent report no partner.
88 percent of abortions are performed before 13 weeks of pregnancy. While there was a 12 percent occurred after 13 weeks appears to be the scientific frontier of mankind. Translated into numbers about 14,000 fetuses were killed when, according to the Minister for Equal da , as were human beings. 97 percent of abortions are performed to "preserve the health of the mother."
Nearly 90 percent were performed in private hospitals. Some 45 percent of which were aborted English nationality. In 10 years, Spain has gone from 6.52 abortions per 1,000 women in 11.78. Since Zapatero governs has increased by 36 percent the number of abortions, from 85,000 to 116,000.
These data may not mean anything. To me say a lot. I am a supporter of abortion. Since reading the book Freakonomics convinced me that it is better for society that certain individuals have no children. However, I believe that abortion is an extreme decision for a woman or a couple. To take that decision probably weigh strongly economic arguments and not be bound to think that a woman has a child and then give it up for adoption simply because they can not keep.
In light of the data, I fear that abortion has become a kind of birth control since it is clear that in Spain, practice is free. So I can not believe this shameful excuse dropped from the Government stating that the law seeks to prevent a woman or a doctor can be jailed for an abortion. Among other things, because that never happened. But even more pathetic is the attitude of the Socialist Youth not blush when they say that This law aims to have "zero abortions." "They would eliminate the use of marijuana if it were decriminalized?.
If you really want to reduce the number of abortions you have to do is to counsel women, or couples, who have to make that decision. Counseling and perhaps financially, but never industrialize abortion as the trend seems to be that the law wants to consolidate.
Every year around this time, the Choir San Salvador welcomes the sacred music series called Master Roza, which consists of a series of concerts and conferences, always free, leading ultimately to honor the former director, Don Alfredo Roza, who has not had the chance to meet.
In the 4 years, not counting this one, which we celebrate the cycle, we had the likes of Eva Juarez or Marcos García Gutiérrez, who, on the other hand, repeated this year, we discovered the peculiar sonority of the sacred polyphony of the early medieval Corsican and we have heard the Mass of Our Lady in the court of Isabel the Catholic, among many other things.
On Friday 6, Natascha Jung (soprano), Antonio Amadé Badinski (tenor), Felix Rathgeber (bass), Peter RK Schäfer, (organist), members of the choir of the cathedral of Fulda (Germany) sing the De Profundis, Psalm 129, composed by Marcel Dupré and Joseph-Guy Ropartz.
Saturday 7 the full chorus of Fulda to join the choir of Covadonga to sing the Mass of the 12 in the basilica of the shrine of Covadonga.
A week later, on Friday 13, we hear the Cuncordu e Tenore di Orosei (Sardinia). Their sound can be a bit strange, as a tenore song is the musical expression archaic ethnic-Sardinia (Italy). However, it is also one of the most extraordinary examples of polyphony of the Mediterranean, its complexity, its rich timbre and expressive power.
Friday 20, will be attended by Eva Juárez (soprano), Marcos García Gutiérrez (baritone), Mario Alvarez Blanco (piano) and Oscar Camacho Morejon (pianist) who will perform under the direction of Javier Castro Villamor, the German Requiem (Ein deutsches Requiem) op.45 by Brahms in his version of London, for piano four hands. Almost ná.
And finally, on Friday 27, the San Salvador Choir will sing (sing) along to the chorus of Pueri Cantores, the eve of St. Cecilia, finishing with an "In Paradisum", vibrant and full of emotion, written by HJBotor for this cycle. Except on Saturday
7, all performances are at 20.30 in the church of San Isidoro el Real, which is in the town hall square. You are all invited. ;)

Today is World Day against breast cancer. I guess it'll be until the very, the importance of having a mammogram for early detection of this cancer , but as ye are not enough, I will contribute my grain of sand and, incidentally, I culturizar a bit.
The first two links is the only thing that interests me that you read or you do read your wives, daughters, mothers and other women who are about your life.
What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer, like any type of cancer is abnormal cell proliferation and disorderly , which involves the formation of a tumor or cancer.
Epidemiology
are diagnosed in Spain each year 15,000 new cases and now it will lead figures indicating that one of every 16-18 English have breast cancer.
In the age group 45-55 years, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in our country, ahead of lung cancer.
Early detection, when the tumor has not extended or changed, making the cure rate rises to almost 90%.
With all these data, it is obvious the importance of a yearly mammogram after the 45 years (35, in cases of higher risk) and know-how a good self-exploration. The following link explains how. diagnostic Other forms of breast cancer are explained here
breast anatomy
The breasts are two protuberances of varying firmness and consistency, characteristics of women, although some men, certain pathological situations, can have growth thereof or gynecomastia (not to be confused with adipomastia)
Histologically consists of skin and subcutaneous tissue, adipose tissue (fat), which constitutes 90% and gives way tissue connective and all machinery used for the production and secretion of milk, mammary glands and ducts
The mammary gland consists of two fundamental Elemeno: glandular acini which are milk-producing cells and ducts, a set of " tubes "ramificadoscuyas lights together in increasingly thick tubules ending in one of The 12 to 18 ducts. These ducts have, before entering the nipple, a dilation known as a reservoir or sinus lactiferous sinus lactiferous, beyond the breast, ducts are directed toward the apex of the nipple, where they open the pores or lactiferous lactiferous. Covering part of this web of pipelines, myoepithelial cells are, the function, said roughly, is to "squeeze" the tubes to release the milk.
vascularization and lymphatic drainage
Here I am going to stick, because it is rolling the yarn. Only remind the importance of tumor spread via the lymphatic system and performing a lymphatic draining function the results of sentinel node (read the last two paragraphs)
Classification of breast cancer: The
two types primary breast cancer are:
- Ductal carcinoma begins in the ducts that carry milk from the breast to the nipple. Most breast cancers are this type. - lobular carcinoma starts in the glandular acini.
They are also benign breast tumors such as fibroadenomas and intraductal papillomas. Are abnormal growths, but they are not cancerous and do not spread to other organs breast
- Age and sex: the risk of developing breast cancer increases as you age. Most cases of advanced breast cancer in women over 50 years. Women are 100 times more likely to develop breast cancer than men.
- Family and personal history of breast cancer:
- Genes: The most common gene defects are found in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. These genes normally produce proteins that protect you from cancer.
- menstrual cycle: women who start their periods early (before age 12) or went through menopause late (after 55) have a risk more
- Childbirth: Women who have never had children or had them only after age 30 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Become pregnant more than once or at an early age reduces your risk of breast cancer.
- Hormone therapy: increased risk
- Obesity: The theory is that obese women produce more estrogen, which can stimulate the development of this cancer.
- Radiation: If you received radiation therapy as a child or young adult to treat cancer chest area, there is a significantly higher risk of developing breast cancer .
- Alcohol: the consumption of more than 1 or 2 glasses of alcohol a day may increase the risk of breast cancer.
Symptoms Early breast cancer usually causes no symptoms, reason why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
- Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually painless. - Change in size, shape or texture of the breast or nipple. - Fluid coming from the nipple, which may be bloody or purulent
Men also can develop breast cancer and symptoms include breast lump and pain and breast tenderness.
Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include:
- Bone Pain - Pain or discomfort in the breast - skin sores - Swelling of one arm (next to breast cancer) - Weight Loss
Treatment Treatment is determined by the size of the tumor and whether it has been spread to the lymph nodes or other areas of the body. Usually, when the tumor is less than 1 centimeter in diameter, surgery is enough to stop cancer and no chemotherapy is needed. However, there are few cases that do not require additional treatment with hormone therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Not all disciplines of science, art and culture are covered by the Nobel Prizes. But perhaps the universal prestige enjoyed by the Swedish academy awards, there are international awards that are considered the nobel in its class. For example the Pulitzer Prize is considered the Nobel Journalism and the Prizker becomes the Nobel Architecture.
This trend looks set to be part of the past, since over the last years the Nobel Peace Prize has been granted, too often, more for international media profile of the work for so noble purpose by the recipient of the award. In this way we will have to start calling this year the Swedish distinction Oscar de la Paz, given the propaganda component seems to weigh distinguished significantly between jurors.
when in 1992 I was awarded the prize for Rigoberta Menchú , basically for the publication of a biography, based on discussions with Elisabeth Burgos, who was the one who wrote it, the Norwegian Noble Committee showed his weakness for media events. Shortly after it was found that the so-called autobiography of Menchú was full of "inaccuracies", not to say it was more typical of the novel.
Then came the prize for video of complaint-fiction Al Gore, more like Michael Moore that a U.S. presidential candidate. As readers know, the only inconvenient truth of Gore's film was that, allegedly scientific data, and special effects that were shown on the tape were more fake than Star Wars ships . From Laureate Al Gore crossed the globe in a private plane collecting awards and giving speeches, giving a clear example of what you care about climate change.
But the palm is the leading new media award for the new president of the United States. Barrack Hussein Obama has not even write a book, or to make a film to be worthy of Oscar Peace. Obama only had to do a few press conferences more or less fortunate talking peace, nuclear disarmament and a "new era in international relations," which still do not know what it is. Unless this new euphemism is to certify the impasse of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
From what we can be sure of is how little this man has done in his short term in office to bring peace to the U.S. backyard. I refer specifically to the no Government intervention in the conflict Honduran Obama. Apart from four isolated gestures, the coup in Honduras has not taken or twenty minutes on the agenda of man alleged to have worked harder for peace on our planet over the last year. A great example of this award smacks more of Hollywood blockbuster than the stubborn reality of a world in crisis.
Get a mammogram Italy clamant and warrior awakens Spes
The award alfano , the mud that covers everything finally going to be cleaned. The sheer layer of dirt shielding Berlusca the beast is gone. What people can let pass a law that makes it immune and, let me say, perhaps invincible, their leader? The basic principles of democracy are becoming weaker, but this is the straw that breaks the camel. I always thought there was something in the water from Italy that is "softened" the brain, how you can support your own leader laugh at you to f *** face, without doing anything about it? (I know, are we speaking) Of course, he kept an ace up his sleeve and when necessary, when the people accused of heresy against their dignity, took it out and showed it triumphant and smiling, with that huge grin burlesque and his characteristic sly.
But now he does not smile. The law of the award got paralyze the 4 criminal proceedings against Berlusconi. Namely
"Mills Case," the premier is accused of bribing with € 410,000 to British lawyer David Mills, to testify in his favor in two other cases to him for tax evasion.
"Case Mediaset: two ghost companies (not ghosts), created by David Mills himself, bought and sold between 1994 and 1999, television and film rights for 470 million euros. At the same time they were sold again and again companies Berusconi front for a higher price, where money is created in black. The prosecution accused the premier of tax fraud and tax evasion.
"Case Mediatrade" Berlusconi is being investigated here acted as a partner secrets of a company that bought TV rights sold to companies and prime minister's own figures that exceeded the market logic. The technique is similar to the previous case and is accused to the tax evasion and misappropriation.
"Case of the Senate" Rome prosecutors accused him of abetting corruption against the center-left senators elected by the people to do down the government of Romano Prodi, when the premier occupied the bench as head of the opposition .
Two of these cases will be reopened , which I think maravillosérrimo, but insufficient. Also, something tells me it does little to serve the country and remain mired in the chaos of bribes and parties. Confused and I hope that for once justice is done, albeit slowly.
Some people think and even say my namesake Francisco Camps and his faithful squire Ricardo Costa are two types elegant. I do not know if you think or say because they appear to be well dressed or because we have all known that are made suits. Camps For they are made as is, in my humble opinion, a paradox. I say this because, besides being quite wide nearly all the cut is identical a simple outfit of clothing, that is, made in series. Costa
beyond. Although it strives to give personal touches to their costumes, the result is rather vulgar. The stitching seems they are going to explode, especially in the part of the conjunction between the back and sleeves, where the attempt because it seems to have wider back is ridiculous.
No, definitely these two are nothing elegant. Even less arrogant and cocky forms. They smile and smile for the cameras when they sit in their seats in parliament Valencia, but do not laugh much in the privacy of reading national newspapers first thing in the morning. Because this issue is no longer that question of the outfits culled in The Country , but is expanding and the shadow of doubt is so long that if Rajoy not intervene quickly the leak in the PP will be unsustainable. Andalusian To us all these goings we are very familiar. So we both repugnant spectacle we're seeing now in Valencia, but does not come from the same party that makes and breaks here at home and much more glaring cases without investigation by the police or the prosecution. But I will not be street now that what others do not even dare to whisper when corruption comes from the party I vote faithfully. Nor serves me this ceremony of victimhood that has been undertaken to save the furniture. If requested political and legal responsibilities should be done always and everywhere. If justice does not investigate the subsidy to the daughter of Manuel Chaves , which I will not be caught in this argument for silence in the case against the PP Valencia. Yes, I reiterate that in Andalusia has not opened a single parliamentary commission of inquiry by a corruption case since the PSOE commands, namely, since the existence of democracy.
I know that many cling to it that this news comes at a key moment: Negotiating Budgets "Sidereal" State, including tax increases and Abortion Law "Free", among other issues that will eventually squander whatever credibility of a government hit. In other words, this will serve to silence the PP. However there are two facts that make me think that this is different. First because it's not a single medium, but a cry that is color. Worldwide, the CR and other means little suspecting of conniving with the ruling party branches have been publishing this story, reaching farther than the newspaper itself that raised the issue of suits. The second point that strikes me is the rumor that the PP itself there.
This is a golden opportunity for Mariano Rajoy and his team PP show whether this is a real alternative, not only in economic management, but to lead a society that seems to be synonymous with elegance of becoming a suit.
came out yesterday on the news, but since I had nothing to do with any petty famosillos, not given the hype it deserves, at least for my taste, for a vaccine against AIDS is not got all day. Vale, only 31% immunized and vaccinated, but better than nothing.
The vaccine, called the original name of RV144, so that is temporary, was tested on 16,402 Thai volunteers between 18 and 30 years with an average risk of infection. Half were given 6 doses of 2 vaccines in 2006, and the other half a placebo. 3 years after blood tests were performed for the virus. Vaccinated half were infected 51 people and another, 74. To the surprise of people in white coats carrying out the study, all were infected with the same amount of virus. Typically a vaccine, but only partially protects the viral load decreases.
This suggests that the new vaccine will not produce Ab (antibodies) against the virus *. Instead, it seems that Ab binding form that fit into any surface protein effector cells, a type of white blood cell that attacks the virus, to empower them.
In any case, the mechanism of the vaccine does not mimic the defenses of those who do not get sick despite being infected. For some strange metaphysical reason not able to replicate the virus, reducing viral load. If you knew what immune response mediated this effect, it would greatly progress in the fight against AIDS.
Returning to the subject: what the hell is exactly the RV144? Well, the RV144 is the combination of 2 vaccines designed through genetic engineering and had not worked separately in humans: ALVAC and AIDSVAX. The ALVAC virus containing canarypox three HIV genes attached. AIDSVAX, meanwhile, contains a genetically engineered version of a protein on the surface of HIV. Combined
both have the RV144 vaccine, although only have an efficiency of 31% represents a door to hope, to the "spes" after 20 years of fruitless investigations. At least now we know the vaccine against HIV is possible.
More and better worded here, here and here. Choose which give you more rage.
long been known, at least in this blog , that the family Espinosa Rodriguez likes to take pictures with famous people. But now we know that this love knows no bounds.
As if the Pope's visit concerned, Rodríguez Espinosa have been to visit Obama, who, at the time, are like the holy priests of the world progressives. Course these the journey we have paid together, with our unlimited solidarity tax. What I hope that we have not had to pay the costumes chosen for the occasion by the stems, this word has no female ... for now our beloved leader.
Because you have to have bad taste to let the daughters of one dressed in the guise go on such a great occasion. Although I can be wrong and it is logical that you go to the Vatican and his 12 year old son go with the official kit Rayo Vallecano. "Is that the child is a big fan of the team's neighborhood," says the father of the creature to Benedict XVI, who does not know anything and smiles while commanding the Swiss Guards take out those unpresentable Vatican as soon as possible.
Something must have happened at the Metropolitan. The Obama smiled, perhaps too, he told them to girls pictured with President ... "Transylvania?. The truth is that the thing has little grace. What image we project as a country if our daughters are dressed up as a puppet president in an official act?. Can one confuse the public and private to the point of us believe that this photo can be considered "normal"?. And to continue with the great unknowns, why Sonsoles also chose black?, Why not accompanied with a long smooth hair implants with white streak included to round out the total look Adams appeared to be the intention of the Rodríguez Espinosa?.
Between this and the cosmic revelation, I would say the Pajín , with which we awarded Rodriguez, saying "the blame for the crisis of climate change, one begins to think that the costumes for the girls chose the father, after ingesting some type of psychotropic drug.
First said this and now we come out with it was all irony
Oh, wait, now I get it What a great sense of humor has il cavalieri! And we rant on this poor man, this lover and conqueror Do holiday villa "bristly" were also an irony? Of course! How will you pay for it, a similar bellezón to receive sexual services, when the funny thing is they give you pumpkin? How lousy we are branding this poor man of macho, womanizing, he who believes that "Women are the most beautiful gift that God made men" (Great, I am a gift, I just need to wrap and wear a loop in his head) Good thing his Italian followed voting, they do have a sense of humor (and patience)
Worst of all is the silence of our political leaders. As the host must reírle thanks and courtesy have to put your ass, cheek, and what it takes ... but the same is also an irony and I have no sense of humor who knows? Beth
I have stated in several times in this space we live in a complex society. Extremely complex. Therefore it seems that we are able to overcome thousands of years of our history as a species and approach to a civilization without the existence of religion. At least not to the religious group has any value. Examples of this
experiment there have been, or are missing in our world today. Remember the abolition of religion that proclaimed the communist regimes in Eastern Europe with the Soviet Union to the head. Under the Marxist Max finds "religion is the opium of the people" was eliminated religious education, was proclaimed secular education, the same as today proclaimed admirers of Marxism-Leninism, and here are the results. Eliminated the moral prejudices of Christianity and brought down the Berlin Wall, the consequences arising from the secularism of the state: "Money is the opium of the people," not only have to look what kind of societies have been on the ruins of the Marxist dictatorships.
Interestingly none of the politicians or their enlightened media mamporreros us today prescribed educational secularism, if not radical anti-clericalism, seem to have come to realize that. Neither the general public to get carried away by this current easy-intone religious denial the mea culpa again, while calling for better education in values \u200b\u200bfor future generations. As if the principles and values \u200b\u200bexplain them in class math or English , as if we were to require the teacher environmental knowledge that our child is not dedicate to insult their peers during recess. Perhaps this is why we want to run away from religion because we do not want weights or remorse. Because we prefer to require the system rather than take responsibility for what happens in our society.
I find it especially shocking to hear these days that encourage them to leave children choose as adults whether or not religion in their lives, complaining about the values \u200b\u200bthat are educating the coming generations. I find it absolutely deplorable that they who seek to curtail any public sign of religious tendency, wonder why that young adolescents in our country do not respect their parents. That is why what ban is so popular because we prefer the laws to the principles and the moral police coercion.
modern is now being agnostic, if not clearly deny the beliefs and religious symbols that have seen us grow. Of course, if we have to celebrate a BBC event (weddings, christenings and communion), they do not fit doubt that readers will overcome the anti-religious conventions to do so in apostolic. For a wedding that claims to truth must be officiated at the altar, usually platerescos, our much-maligned Catholic Church, not the courts or in the plenary hall of the municipality, with that touch of gray that always pervades.
However, times are fraught with uncertainty and where people need to cling to faith, that it bothers some people, to move forward. So I am convinced that the trend that has so strongly defended the progressive public figures and other substitutes for democracy, is being reversed. Religion, in moderation, no fanaticism, no archaic superstitions and antediluvian attitudes, is poised to become the moral foothold in our society.
a greater or lesser extent, most of us are living in times of uncertainty. If the crisis is global, the local uncertainty. Very local, very personal. Mostly because it feels so close that there is no grand reading to which we are accustomed to media. Even those who are less affected by events since the untouchable status of their jobs, are living through uncertain times. Neither they have very clear why, but complain as anyone else, lest they lose their status as desgraciaditos district officials.
warning usually comes uncertainty, but always catches us off guard. Mostly because humans do not believe that saying that says something like "when you see the neighbor's beard cut, put yours to soak." So once inside comes the anxiety. We must therefore always be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Great phrase I do not know where I read in some time, but I've done mine over time. The Americans call this get in the worst case scenario , key phrase, which I personally love "for those who Uploaded want to follow the train of languages \u200b\u200beven in the most bitter moments.
worst of the uncertainty that is more passive than active. In other words, the uncertainty grows as the news dwindle. The email does not arrive or the call does not occur, for example, are the clearest cases of what I say. So what to anticipate the flood of the river becomes increasingly necessary. Put another way, you're bursting into culjanter necessity.
Sure maybe if you look, if we look around with a look a little more circumspect, can any of us can resolve a situation of uncertainty that affects another person. No more picking up the phone or answer e-mail. Yes, that we have marked as unread although we have read three times and do not dare to answer for not giving bad news. These days we live in, almost worse than bad news is no news, because the immediate consequence of this delay is more uncertainty frivolous.
Given the uncertainty that can not be more serious and sensible reaction. Living in uncertainty leads to ensure that there is a material which remains immovable as a rock on which you can always build. Oh, clay foundation that society imposes on us!. So far beyond of the complaint, or crying victimhood, which it is to look forward, to remain the same and see first hand what is made of wood. On the way, some separate the wheat from the chaff, which is no small. The rest are trifles and sorry for myself seriously around these non-holiday.
If we look around, or read a few of the latest entries of this blog, realize how complex we are making this world in which we live. I do not know if greater complexity over elegance. My truth is that big I never watch complications passionate, but seem to be the not-going-over elegance Markers as time is concerned.
As we watched the vocabulary , every being has a little complicated when trying to define things. Should be given a new twist to say what you want without looking like exactly what is says. "I spent the holiday in a resort great on an island and was all day at the spa giving me massages vinotherapy," says someone out there without the slightest hint of ridicule. Is to say "I vacationing in Marbella" is not as glamorous.
The same applies to the prohibitionist wave plaguing us. All our lives we had beaches, then came the flags color, lifeguards, personal watercraft and a huge poster at the entrance to the beach that announces what you can do and what not. If it fails for example with a mandate to observe the color of the flag, in some places even impose a fine. Splitting hairs.
With Belén Esteban saw another example of how complex it has become our existence. Several dozen people live their lives publicly expose or to comment on that of others like them. Hundreds aspire to earn the livelihood. Now I do not feel the brainy professor experts on issues as far as economics, physics or medicine, but the developed semi-life commentators an increasingly large sector of the population. Is not devious?.
Now that we're going, or have become, to enjoy a few days away from the hustle and bustle of the routine, some complex looking for summer adventures may not have to think, just spend adrenaline, perhaps the best we can do is to reflect a little about this, or beyond that, if the reader considers most appropriate. Because this time sideways, summer, ultimately, can be an excellent time to look through different eyes everything we see every day and not even dare to question.
Maybe it's time to forget all these complications and find the elegance through simplicity, which is nothing more than a handful of principles, or values \u200b\u200bas you want, "of which we have departed following a vague trail that leads nowhere. We might have to look back to see clearly ahead and check that they are common sense, freedom and responsibility the only lights in the meantime we need background noise, so Grande Complication and both a microphone CANTAMAÑANAS ahead. There will be no getting around the issue.
This afternoon at " go-you-to-know-when, "am going to spend the month August in my dearest Luarca: a very cute town to spend four days, but quite boring to be all month. This year however, I have enough desire to go. Not that I have softened heat neurons, nor do I intend to remove the travel and all the bustle of maleteo front, also, but this year, after a long fight, I got the summer internship. I mean a lot to fight for to get them to be overcome trunk 5, or approve any 3 rd. Come on, I had to go clean. Almost ná.
morning I will be trotting down the internal medicine department Jarrio, so much do not go near there. It is best to be the trainee only going to be able to ask questions and learn the most. I also give 8 credits of electives, which do not come at all bad. Yet the mere fact of being garrula by the hospital and for me.
And again, I say goodbye. I guess someday I'll connect you to see how it goes. Enjoy the holidays, drink lots of water and, if you can, follow the advice of the doctor Juanjo;)
I attached a story I read yesterday while fozaba (stirring) on \u200b\u200bthe Internet. Here, the original link
Brunne Eva Pastor, 55 years old, was elected elected as new Bishop of the Diocese of Stockholm in the Swedish Church, the largest Lutheran church in the world. The news has had a major impact because according to the Lutheran service of the press, declaring Brunne lesbian and lives with his girlfriend and son of them, three years.
Brunne received in the election a total of 413 votes against the 365 votes in favor of his closest opponent, Hans Ulfvebrand in the second round of voting.
The diocese announced that Brunner and his partner Eva Gunilla Linden, who also is sorted, have a three year old son. Their relationship was at the time approval of the church and in fact, is the first bishops of the Lutheran church living in a homosexual relationship recognized, which would be unprecedented worldwide. ------
When I read the news I got a smirk reflects, though, what fool, I was somewhat surprised. It is not just the fact that the Lutheran church allow women to be sorted, but has left two lesbian women, both ordained, to coexist peacefully and to make matters worse, they have chosen to one of them as bishop. Is a concatenation of events enormously paradoxical, but real, mind you, the world keeps turning.
Looking for more information, I found two links that made my wonder increased and the smirk pass before a big smile.
The first basically says that since 2005 the Swedish Lutheran Church will bless the marriages of same sex. However, not all joy, as shepherds of the west coast of Sweden became a schism in protest at the ordination of women and homosexuals. Since the saying goes: everywhere cooked beans. At least here seems to be cooked less
In the second link tell us that the past 2 years the Swedish Lutheran church participates with its own banner on the day of pride. We do not know if it is a political strategy to win addicts want say supporters, but in any case, is there.
Meanwhile, as our Protestant neighbors walk, step by step, to see what lies beyond, we still cowering under the watchful eye of Rouco (and company) and his big hand Catholic. Someday I will cross the wires and I'll Protestant. I said.
Even though the hangover has passed, the truth is that even last me homesick. Maybe it's because I was pleasantly surprised Stockholm for being a quiet and relatively small city to be a capital, or if was because, simply, I like the feeling of independence that I get these "breaks."
the XXXV International Congress of Pueri Cantores, which was the reason for the trip to Stockholm ling began on July 8 and ended on 12th of that month and, frankly, had a few blunders.
1 º. The primary, the most important and causing the rest: the Congress of yore was organized in a month. So you can imagine the mental eggplant that were assembled to find accommodation and food to 4000 people.
2 º. The food can not tell if it was good or not because everyone has their tastes, but what nobody can argue was that the amounts were and even more laughable when you consider that a large percentage of the participants were children aged 6-12 years s. To give you an idea, the day we eat rice with meat in Tupperware had had a finger of rice and thanks. Not to mention that the piece of bread we got was a measly 4 square inches square.
3 º. Rehearsals and joint celebrations were a disaster. The director had no idea of \u200b\u200bleading a large mass and this was reflected in that, from the 5th row people stopped to ignore because they found out, so as you can imagine as we were the back of all . The best was the day of the opening ceremony in the park Skansen: it rained cats and dogs and asked us NOT moviésemos us, but, please not to let the books get wet. We look at pictures.
4 The mere fact that the book of the congress had 46 fucking songs that were sung to the final 1 / 3. I do not know if these people know that a choir has more to prepare in addition to its conference ...
5 The lack of coexistence between choirs, concert churros, which will lead people who are not prepared, nor brought the scores, etc.
However, not all complaints and trials, there was also time for anecdotes and know something about the city. Gamla Stand kicked up and down, we Skansen park and the Vasa Museum , a spectacular seventeenth-century ship that holds 95% of its original structure. We also visited a couple of churches, of which I'll take the Protestant rite for its elegance and good taste: the pulpit was always very well decorated and kept statues of its past and Catholic churches were quite curious.
Speaking of churches. Not remember which was, I came across this:
A series of scarves tied to, at first glance, have nothing special if it were not accurate color, and in the exact order of pride flag. It was a space-time paradox without cheese, please, very awful! And since I had to share it with you, because I went to take this wonderful picture and discover that the matter was explained, which, in turn, further increased the paradox.
Come on, you no longer know how to invent [Click on image to see it better]
Another story I remember was the night we went out for a drink. We started taking a beer on a terrace, and when we threw it closed, we started to turn in search of another place to finish in the same place as before. Square in which, incidentally, was a bar on a corner, with a flag of pride quite visible. Nothing a lousy sticker as in other sites, so you can not say that it is wrong signed. Imagine then, the face that got me when I see people go head to that bar. It would have been fun had come to sit, but to me, at that time, I put a tie. If the incident had been with people I know do not be alarmed by these things, I would have lost tachycardia, but was not the case ...
jokes and other events aside, the fact is that we had a tit and I think that the whole choir is eager to have arrived the next congress. My biggest regret of all is that the Swedes are not what they paint, but, yes, clogs are really cute.
terminology and style (short glossary) The origins of the outfit
seems to be a widespread habit among certain people with the relevant public to adorn with delight in language. I do not speak only to introduce the odd anglicized , when not a word or phrase in English, but to make certain orders on these words or phrases to make them more bombastic, more supposedly elegant.
occurs in all areas of life, from economics to fashion, to politics, especially in the latter. Thus, we find that words or expressions that life has been used in a generally accepted, but are now ostracized by making use some of them are lit.
See here some examples, by sector activity, transformation of the terms.
Policy - garbage collection service = Environment Area - Department of Traffic = Mobility Area - rally = public event - rally-party meeting in solidarity = - negotiate to pass legislation = dialogue - negotiating to approve the budgets at whatever price = mood
Economy - Economic crisis = slowdown in macro variables - = worsening cyclical rampant unemployment of labor market data - = File layoff Regulation of Employment (ERE to ring even better) - be up to their necks in debt = excessive leverage (or leverage , for the most blunt)
Fashion
- outfit = outfit - person fashionista = fashion victim - a person fashionista penniless follower of the rule = Amancio Ortega - fashionista person penniless but with a blog = coolhunter
Other areas
- terrorist = activist - Activism = Terrorism, armed struggle - abortion = abortion - football team = entity sports (galactic where applicable) - atheist = apostate - laborer building = auxiliary - nurse or medical technician = average - sweeper = environmental professional - municipal police responsible for urban mobility = - Youth bottle = concentration dubious - bottle featuring gay = Gay Pride Day brewing And so goes our everyday language. Although in reality all these terms are not used colloquially. Does anyone go around saying "Fulanito is excessive leverage?. No, what they say is something like as "Fulanito owes everyone who gets up in the morning." Although some did, in their pursuit of elegance by way of bombast, go around saying things like "is that I am professional environment and yesterday we had to take care of municipal solid waste dumped on the occasion of the Day Gay Pride. " Much eye.
Like all bloggers lovers fashionista knows, an outfit called outfit in the jargon. While on this and we talked at length on this blog, the truth is you do not completely integrated into the thing, nor had I consented to the seed of this term and their rapid spread, like a fire of stubble in full heat wave, as we have been suffering.
A ray of light appeared and had access server, nothing more and nothing less than the primordial outfit, the first public / private outfit. So without further ado, I proceed to share it with the gentle reader, plus a new format for this space: Video.
this video actually sent me someone who is declared follower of my blog and that should work Tiempo BBDO, the agency making the announcement and how accurately has moved to a notice of beans, played by an old woman, this trend of fashion victims.
I give the red: for cause who, socially, does not touch you I'll give you orange : because I like your hair And the yellow, your yellow sky. I give you also green, because I love green, green hope and apple green. And they all turn green with envy unhealthy. A dark blue, paint your house purple or fuchsia And, for themselves and because they do not differentiate. Happy
pride day! I do not want to be one, I want to be many I
stunned and quedádome open-mouthed, too, when this afternoon escolakürni in which blog had made a few comments, I said "Kir why the link to your blog brings me to a funny place?"
Astonished and confused, I asked the fuck is concerned, my blog was in perfect condition right?. Then a lightbulb went on over his head [could not see because it was via messenger, but I sensed] and said, "is that you have the wrong link: you put http://monologosobreunacoliflor.blogpot.com/ "[For you see what things he needed an" s "]
And I ventured outside and discovered to surprise the site that carried. How ironic that this heresy is my blog has as its near-twin sister a page from the Bible! Mega Bible Site A, to make matters worse! Is all lighting and a sign from God to redeem us? Or do what we are saying is "Keep it up and not do as these people, who neither knows how to put a meaningful name to your site, because at any point of the Bible remember speaking of cauliflower?
