Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	UnPrecious&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Beware — spoilers included*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you ever see that 80s cheesy film “Stand and Deliver”? Let’s recall its intricate script:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actor James Edward Olmos plays a math teacher in a poverty—stricken latino borough in Los Angeles, where public schooling is at its worst.  Drugs, violence and teenage pregnancies are the daily teachings (—difficult situations do make interesting movies—).  Potential is discovered in the students (—yes, we all know we can, we just need a push—), and Olmos devotes a year to making them all pass the final test (—the good underrated guy against the full force of the system—),and then again when the state—run testing service thinks they’ve all cheated (—ah!, the final surprise—).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you sit through the whole movie today?  Chances are you wouldn’t.  It’s overly cliché, acting is terrible, the story has been told a thousand times before (—just with different settings—), the ending is inferred right from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, what would happen if you spice the story a bit? What if the director:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) makes teenage pregnancy the result of incest and rape? (—scandal sells, right?)&lt;br /&gt;2) makes the rape graphic? (—unpleasantness sells too, right?)&lt;br /&gt;3) add AIDS - HIV to the equation? (—just to make matters worse and our heart stricken—)&lt;br /&gt;4) asks well known actors to push up the ante of the film? (Mariah Carey should have been nominated for an Oscar just for having the balls to sit in front of a camera without too much makeup and fake a barely believable serious face.  Lenny Kravitz appears 5 minutes on screen to give you extra value for your movie ticket.)&lt;br /&gt;5) gets good performances from 2 actors (and those 2 only, everyone else is appalling).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, you get “Precious”.  A modern “Stand and Deliver” plus incest, rape, AIDS, one—dimensional secondary and third characters, mediocre photography, bad acting (other than the two main characters) and a dreadful script that focuses on the scandalous and solves everything else through magical and easy solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proof, once more, that the Academy Awards are the world’s worst cast prizes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6132937485994340653?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6132937485994340653/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6132937485994340653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6132937485994340653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6132937485994340653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2010/03/unprecious.html' title='UnPrecious'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4346005523_68900627c4_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-7751076400373123755</id><published>2010-02-12T14:45:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2010-02-12T14:45:55.151-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/4342871960/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4342871960_f49afb6059.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/4342871960/"&gt;View from Mexico City&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a preamble to today's interpretation of the Symphony, a small (yet certainly noticed before) thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dmitri Shostakovich used the DSCH theme in his music.  Four notes in succession (D — E flat — C — B) (in German: D — Es — C — H) that stand for his initials in German (D. Sch.).  The 4 notes sound like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DSCH_Motif.ogg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1948, the composer was denounced for formalism in the Zhdanov decree (a Soviet cultural policy, meaning that Soviet artists, writers and intelligentsia in general had to conform to the party line in their creative works). Most of his works were banned, he was forced to publicly repent, and his family had privileges withdrawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March 1953, Stalin (who approved of the Zhdanov decree), died.  The 10th Symphony premiered in December of the same year.  Shostakovich's letters on the composition mark that it was written between July &amp; October 1953.  It is also his first symphony after the 1948 denunciation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ending (one of Shostakovich's best and most intense) of the Tenth, repeats over and over, ever louder the notes D — E flat — C — B. &lt;br /&gt;Start at minute 1:24 — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zv_AVbm_6A&amp;feature=related&lt;br /&gt;Is this a triumphant closure?

The first natural purchase was THE ESSENTIAL MICHAEL NYMAN BAND, which took me by surprise: baroque and classical music were cleverly mixed with modern compositional techniques and innovative instrumentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being completely delighted, disc after disc soon followed: THE VERY BEST OF MICHAEL NYMAN and purchases of soundtracks from different movies (especially those by Peter Greenaway).  The musical structure is simple: a musical repetitive base is added upon with additional tunes and instrumentation.  CHASING SHEEP IS BEST LEFT TO SHEPERDS is a basic example of this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfP0u_zf3EE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nfP0u_zf3EE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards, by a pair of friends in Spain, I was presented to his extremely bizarre concertos: DOUBLE CONCERTO FOR SAXOPHONE, CONCERTO FOR HARPSICHORD AND STRINGS, CONCERTO FOR TROMBONE AND ORCHESTRA).  Who in his sane mind, would wanna play these extremely elaborate pieces?  Musical times are extremely complex, tempos just go rampant in some parts and texture (&amp; resonance) overcome hearing capacity.  Yet, they work, and extremely well.  My personal favorite is the CONCERTO FOR HARPSICHORD &amp; STRINGS, its convoluted, dense and dissonant, and strangely enough pleases every fiber of my body.  Example of the SAXOPHONE CONCERTO:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9h7U0lXO7GA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9h7U0lXO7GA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time, I was presented with THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT, Nyman's first finished opera.  "What a waste", I thought.  So many promising beautiful tunes that could be further explored,developed and built upon (like those in Greenaway's movies), cut when they were just becoming interesting.  That CD went directly to the shelf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, to my attention came his masterpieces, what I will call his "theme" compositions.  Without a symphony appearing in his catalogue, Nyman explores music related with a single theme in these compositions.  Mainly: AFTER EXTRA TIME, EXIT NO EXIT, MGV, THE FINAL SCORE, ACTS OF BEAUTY, THE FALL OF ICARUS …   The works are monumental.  They start easily and are expanded in fantastic ways: exploring, playing, extending, destroying, mixing and building upon several (but characteristic of each work) musical passages. MGV is probably the best example: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aSVSBBv1KXs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aSVSBBv1KXs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After running out of available Nyman recordings (and going through some terrible compositional fiascos as ZOO CAPRICES, STRONG ON OAKS…), I turned my attention to his operas (and works I had shelved).  I found FACING GOYA somewhere on the internet (good thing, for its out of print and a headache to find).  I listened to it once and had completely fallen in love.  Why? It had the same horrible patchy musical passages as THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE…  First, I can only attribute my liking to a more "robust" listening of Nyman's work.  Secondly, the libretto is simply brilliant.  Third, and most importantly, "patchy" passages are probably the best thing: one is able to hear lots and lots of beautiful music that changes every few minutes into something completely different and stunning.  GOYA is probably the best opera out there (yes Vivaldi, move over).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not everything is sweet in Nyman's operas.  Going through all that have been recorded, one has to carefully select.  &lt;br /&gt;THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT is fun and entertaining (&amp; real) clinical case, with diminished instrumentation but great musical passages.&lt;br /&gt;NOISES, SOUNDS &amp; SWEET AIRS, based on Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST is an extraordinary way to get into Nyman's way to compose opera.  Going musically from here to there, many surprises await.&lt;br /&gt;MAN &amp; BOY: DADA has a terrible premise, the life of a german Dada artist in the UK and his personal involvement with a child &amp; his mother sounds beyond boredom.  Nyman does make an interesting case of it by making several puns to Dada(ism), but the music is at its softest here.&lt;br /&gt;LOVE COUNTS is sooo cliché, it came out in 2005 - same year as the movie CINDERELLA MAN, and it feels it is the opera to the movie.

Así que cuando, lo que sea que haya transportado las latas llenas de tierra (como lo reveló el secuestrador), pasó por las máquinas de rayos X en Cancún debió de haber generado mucho interés: latas, rellenas de tierra, con luces parpadeantes (como aseguran las sobrecargo haberlas visto).  Si no llamó la atención, alguien debería perder su empleo en Cancún o nivel federal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) Decir que la revelación se dio en pleno vuelo es falso, de lo contrario no se hubiesen construido las ingeniosas latas parpadeantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GENTE QUE NOS TIENE SUMIDA EN VERGÜENZA?&lt;br /&gt;¿Se les ocurre otro sentimiento después de aparecer en todos los medios internacionales digitales en primera plana y concluir con el tan mencionado desenlace delirante?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viendo las grabaciones de los noticieros realizadas durante el rescate del avión en tierra, no me dan ganas más que de esconder la cabeza en la tierra:&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; ¿reporteros siguiendo a las fuerzas especiales hasta la escalinata del avión? ¿quién aseguraba que no había en realidad un aparato explosivo? ¿quién autorizó el ingreso de periodistas a una zona de secuestro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; ¿N+1 miembros de las "fuerzas especiales" subiendo en una misma escalera en la parte posterior del avión? ¡Vaya elemento sorpresa, imposible verlo desde la cabina! ¿Esperaban que uno por uno los fueran baleando como fueran entrando si fuese el caso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&gt; La Embajada de Bolivia negando que el secuestrador fuera de su nacionalidad antes de tener evidencia dura alguna...  ¡La cara la deben traer arrastrando!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GENTE QUE TIENE QUE PERDER EL EMPLEO POR EL BIEN DEL PAÍS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Empecemos por la seguridad del aeropuerto: si bien es indeseable llegar a la paranoia estadounidense, el país paulatinamente se ha vuelto más violento (el narco, llamados a levantamientos, grupos civiles armados).  ¿Qué nos hace pensar que alguien convencido en la violencia no decidirá que la solución a todas sus demandas sea reventar un avión o autobús?  No se debe tomar la seguridad a la ligera, como todos sabemos se hace en México.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) El tarado que dejó pasar a los reporteros a la "zona de seguridad" del aeropuerto para casos de secuestro:  el "hijacking" de un avión es un asunto MUY MUY delicado.  La historia muestra que ante el inminente rodeo de un avión por fuerzas de seguridad aunado al sentimiento claustrofóbico de las cabinas y el nerviosismo del momento, las consecuencias pueden ser fácilmente letales si se trata de un caso serio.&lt;br /&gt;Adicional, el razonar un poco ante la facilidad de acceso a los medios de comunicación, aumenta la seriedad a los chistosos que quieren hablar de un "complot mediático" para crear cortinas de humo ante el anuncio de una plétora de incrementos en impuestos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c) El productor de Primero Noticias: por querer hacer su pequeño "talk show" matutino con las sobrecargo, pilotos y la insoportable pasajera pedante roba-cámaras, expresando opiniones y no hechos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d) El diputado PTista pasajero del vuelo: por sugerir que el movimiento de seguridad no era necesario y le hablaron feito durante el desalojo y las entrevistas posteriores.  El fuero legal de los políticos de este país es una embolia cerebral que convierte a todos en vegetales parlanchines...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;e) En cierta medida el presidente Calderón: cómo que "qué buen susto"... frase con la que se estrenó en su gira a Campeche.  Es jefe de la República, no una chismosa de lavadero...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SACIAMORBOS (escribiría el nefasto Loret de Mola):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La OCDE recomendó no subir ningún impuesto.  El ejecutivo y el hacendado no hicieron caso. Queda en manos de los rojos y los amarillos.  ¿Endeudamiento? ¿Aprobación? ¿Discusión eterna? ¿Re-canalizar las alzas?

On the other hand, the present government has been attacked severely on failing to comply with its 2006 campaign of job creation; even if the criticism points to a true problem, it capitalizes on the poor educational levels in Mexico and the population's ignorance of the extent of a worldwide economic meltdown.  What's true is that this government has been beyond slow to start working on infrastructure (highways, refineries, massive transport).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The center wing has focused its campaign on its past 70 year reign over Mexico, promising political experience and economic stability.  Funny, their platform wants to effectively use a Men-in-Black-like memory zapper for 110 million Mexicans, which (according to polls) seems to be working.  Mexican created economic meltdowns (local or international) were the rule every 6 years before 1997.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The green party, mostly centrist, has promised economically impossible popular desirables: the return of the death penalty to the country, free computing &amp;amp; english courses, and free medicines on pharmacies when social security can't get them for you.  Such ideas can really ring a bell (polls put them at an all-time high 10% of preferences), but lack any economic viability.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The left wing seems to be walking aimlessly due to interior conflicts.  With past presidential elections looser Andrés Manuel López still craving political revenge, he appears everywhere asking for votes on small left parties while actually shunning it present day party, the PRD.  Far from its 2006 power, the PRD has lost around 20% of voting preference and seems to have stabilized around 10% of total votes.  Without any unified platform by its internal teams, it's done for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The smaller parties have several, more congruent ideas: from pushing Lopez's popular economic whatsoever to promoting the legalization of drugs, they seem to have the upper hand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The citizen-driven campaign to leave you vote blank or have it annulled, IMO is beyond stupidity.  Definitely, a strong percentage of invalid votes would turn some heads, and then what?  Does logic dictate that already greedy and self-involved politicians will actually take a good look at this?  Wouldn't it just give stronger power to the so-called "strong-vote"? Is "naïve" written all over on people who think that the political class will actually care?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the other hand:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is voting for the "least worse candidate" worth voting at all?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I leave it as mental homework.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-8638200964864780274?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/8638200964864780274/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=8638200964864780274&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8638200964864780274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8638200964864780274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/07/do-you-bj.html' title='Do you ♥ BJ ?'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-5629942227843445260</id><published>2009-06-06T08:43:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-06T08:48:25.887-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chekov'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uhura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2009'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scotty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kirk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nonsense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='critica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sulu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='90210'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pelicula'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abrams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='critic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star trek'/><title type='text'>Star Trek FOR the Next Generation</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

Kirk's dad is now dead, Spock mother dies idiotically, yet everything else remains untouched: Spock rejects the Kolinahr, Scotty, Chekov, Uhura, Sulu, Bones, all are strangely reunited in the Enterprise...  We know nothing of Earth - Kirk, nothing of Uhura &amp;amp; Chekov &amp;amp; Scotty &amp;amp; Bones &amp;amp; Sulu.  Things happen lightning fast without a touch of intelligence or reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having covered that: what the hell with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The Enterpise being assembled on Earth and not in orbit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) 99.9% of people don't know a thing of the Kobayashi Maru and its implications (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).  Suggesting it was created by Spock is the only way the new film's plot has any sense...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) If you can create a black hole with "red matter", why the hell do you need to put it at the center of a planet?  It can do its damage well enough from orbit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) If Chekov transported Kirk and Sulu falling at great velocities towards the surface, why the hell couldn't he lock on to Spock's low - speed falling mother?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Kirk is marooned on Vulcan's moon apparently...of all the surface available, how could he reach future's Spock so easily?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Why is the moon still in orbit if Vulcan was destroyed? Why hasn't the moon been sucked up by the black hole?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Did only 10,000 Vulcans survive? Were Vulcans endemic to only one planet??? Did they never colonize any other single tiny bitty piece of rock?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) Transwarp? Scotty? GIVE ME A BREAK ! The technology is used by the Borg (not known in this new timeline), the Voth (from the far Delta Quadrant, discovered by the USS Voyager 100 years later).  Either way, transwarp works for speed, not for teletransportation...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) I doubt that in the 24th century space-faring, teletransporting, advanced civilizations (in particular the Romulans) don't know when a star will go supernova and can't do massive evacuations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) If future Spock had arrived on time to Romulus and sent the "red matter" into the almost-supernova star.  Then what would have happened to Romulus if it had had no source of light, power?  Wouldn't Romulus (&amp;amp; Remus) been sucked into the black hole too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) Uhura &amp;amp; Spock? (In the words of new James T. Kirk: BULLSHIT!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) If Enterprised appeared hidden in Titan (after coming out of warp...for heaven's sake) how the hell did they transport to the Romulan miner in orbit around Earth 1.4 billion kilometers away?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Did the Romulans have to drill a few kilometers from Starfleet in San Francisco? Why not Paris or Timbuktu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) A drop of "red matter" can create a black hole...then all of it can create a super-massive black hole.  This "all red matter" hole is created at the end...in Earth's orbit...why did it only destroy the Romulan ship (if only a drop previously destroyed Vulcan?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) Wouldn't the anti-matter warp-core explosion with the black hole affect the Earth somehow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) Why are the bowels of the Enterpise old-industry like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong, past movies and series on the Star Trek universe have loads of "give - me - a - break" moments.  But silly techno-jargon gives them the benefit of doubt.  If director Abrams would have spent 3 to 5 minutes of his precious new film to explain just a bit of the multiple stupidities, I would have settled for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek starts smashing, right up to the entry title...it's downhill from there.  The film has great special effects, the acting is OK, and IS fun to watch.  Leonard Nimoy is probably the best to see together with the great new ship designs (ambassador Spock's vessel is stunning). The music sucks big time, together with the brainless plot.  It's good to see, shut your brain off, and have an entertaining time.  Yet, as a long follower of the franchise, I'm deeply troubled to see where they will bodly go where no past Star Trek has gone before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5629942227843445260?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5629942227843445260/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5629942227843445260&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5629942227843445260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5629942227843445260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/06/star-trek-for-next-generation.html' title='Star Trek FOR the Next Generation'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3568124278_c1e1fb041e_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-8900115475150681542</id><published>2009-05-29T11:54:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T12:04:18.641-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vivaldi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terribile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='orribile lo scempio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gl&apos;oltraggi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barroca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antonio vivaldi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='opera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baroque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aria'/><title type='text'>Orribile?

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; If you really need good news lately, something nice, something beautiful, something joyful.  Then I've got the answer for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naïve Records version of Vivaldi's Concerti per violino "IL BALLO"&lt;br /&gt;Probably one of the best releases in the 100 disc project called the Vivaldi Edition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's got, in my opinion, three tunes worthy of 4 - 5 stars (Itunes grading system) in a single CD...quite an accomplishment in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a little example from the first complete concert.

There are around 20 confirmed cases of swine flu world wide and 1600 in Mexico.  If official Mexican numbers were correct,  how could those 20 world cases be in touch with only those 1600 cases inside a 110 million inhabitant country?  Or is the problem much more widespread?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the days when some people did quiet panic shopping.  On friday I went to do some shopping (schools and universities were already closed) and the supermarket was empty.  On sunday, at 14 hrs (meal time), they were completely full.  I went to a bulk selling marketplace and most people were buying only canned goods (tuna and vegetables) and bottled water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the days when short - sightedness rules the world.&lt;br /&gt;People going to parties.  Persons without hearing the news.  A few still wandering into movie theaters.  A couple of weekend days at home does no one any harm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the days of questionable decisions.  Including that one of our Institute director.  Declaring courses and seminars off, but available workspace.  NOTHING in the world is going to change or better if astronomers don't work for 10 days.

Spot number 3 is occupied by Mexican telecomunications titan Carlos Slim.&lt;br /&gt;As a non-welcome surprise, spot number 701 is occupied by the Mexican drug-dealer and most wanted man Joaquín Guzman Loera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outrage soon followed and Mexican politicians wanted to be right in the spotlight, for this is an electoral year.  What a shame that instead of using facts, addressing the media with knowledge and humility and taking 10 minutes of their comfortable life to look things up, they showed the ignorance with which they legislate and the minuscule IQ with which they think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians cried: how is it possible that a foreign magazine can know the net worth of a drug dealer that escapes federal force detection?  Let us know your sources !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forbes already cleared up that it is an estimated net worth.  Estimated, in my opinion, as done in their famous 15 richest fictional characters list, from Santa Claus to Montgomery Burns and Lex Luthor (http://www.forbes.com/2002/09/13/400fictional.html).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it really a great surprise to Mexican authorities or do they just want to keep everything under cover?  Should we, as citizens, not know what are we fighting against? Why Guzmán can afford better fire arms than the military or police? Why he can easily blackmail even the highest of officers and generals?  Is account and bank policy so terribly opaque in Mexico that even the highest level politicians didn't know about this?  Should we be even a tiny bit surprised to find similar amounts on ex-presidential accounts from the same parties as those red-faced amazed politicians? Shouldn't laws be (or should have been) created to take that money away from wherever it is?  Aren't there international agreements working to nullify accounts created from money laundering?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What an idiotic thing to complain about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6206787794796092142?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6206787794796092142/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6206787794796092142&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6206787794796092142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6206787794796092142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/03/idiotic.html' title='...idiotic...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/3264325119_1529336928_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-8184134684510421011</id><published>2009-03-09T14:05:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T14:08:12.535-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slumdog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peliculas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='millionaire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watchmen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='superhero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oscars'/><title type='text'>...movies...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3299728767/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3410/3299728767_e24346ce67.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3299728767/"&gt;Ceramic Ball&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; It was, fortunately, a good weekend to go to the movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never had a film been so quick to achieve tears running out of my eyes.  The sheer truth and power of the first scenes from SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE are heart moving.  IMO, the movie goes downhill after we leave the children to continue the teen part of our hero's lives.  Yet, it grasps you from beginning to end and lets you go feeling all happy and warm inside, even though there are some truly sad moments throughout the movie.  The filmography and music are elements to behold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes I know this movie is kitsch and corny at time, hyper-violent and loud, common at times and with cheap fx at others but WATCHMEN is truly a rewarding film.  The story is a bit intricate and pays out at the end.  The art direction is awesome and the acting is pretty good.  If you liked '300' or 'Sin City', of which I loved the latter, then this movie is definitely for you.  Also, I've never seen such a good use of Philip Glass' ending score for Koyaanisqatsi (Prophecies).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-8184134684510421011?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/8184134684510421011/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=8184134684510421011&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8184134684510421011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8184134684510421011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/03/movies.html' title='...movies...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3410/3299728767_e24346ce67_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-2405194940830073382</id><published>2009-02-12T10:11:00.007-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T14:34:46.971-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='telescope'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cientificos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='telescopios'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scientist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astronomia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astronomy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ciencia'/><title type='text'>(one of the) Problems of Science in Mexico</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3264313923/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3324/3264313923_d8133d637f.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3264313923/"&gt;Hope&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; (one of the) Problems of Science in Mexico&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mexico has been blessed with one of the best night skies in the world.  Or so we have been led to believe.  Studies since the 1960's place San Pedro Mártir in Baja California as an ideal place for astronomical observatories due to its  dark skies, low humidity and high altitude.  Strikingly, not a single telescope has been built there since 1979, while Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in Spain has built 14 since 1985 and in Chile's Atacama area there are around 15.  Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you thought the answer is "Mexico has no money", you are partially correct and, in this writer's opinion, mostly wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I can remember, mid-1990's (probably even farther into the past), the astronomical community in Mexico has been obsessed with building a large telescope worthy of such a fantastic site as San Pedro.  Dozens of millions of pesos (and therefore dollars) have been spent in international meetings and workshops, engineering studies, computational models, site evaluations, project assessments and even t-shirts and coffee mugs.  From the 5 meter TIM (Mexican Infrared Telescope) to the Twin 6 meter Telescopes and on to this year's pick: six meter SASIR telescope.  Nothing has materialized and we keep on spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, a researcher from Spain gave an hour long lecture in the weekly space assigned for such talks at the Institute of Astronomy (wednesdays at noon open to general public, if you are interested).  He spoke about two 1 meter robotic telescopes set up in rural Spain to search for extrasolar planets (a hot astronomical and astrobiological subject that is not researched in our Institute).  Each telescope cost around 1 - 1.5 million euros (around 30 million pesos at today's 20 pesos per euro).  They are getting results and publishing papers with a low budget telescope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, a researcher from France gave a talk in the same one hour slot on a new gamma ray space telescope that needs two 2.5 - 3 million euro infrared/visible 1 meter telescopes on Earth to help with the observations.  One telescope with the required characteristics is already built in China (and will be used for the mentioned observations when the satellite enters orbit in 2013).  The other telescope is looking for a home.  Mexico, yet again, is a hotspot due to its position, and so is Chile.  As gamma ray bursts (GRB), subject of interest in this project, are short-lived and sporadical, the telescope will be used for observing other astronomical phenomena on its free time (Mexican scientists could make partial use of that free time).  Nevertheless, our director was quick to point out that our country could not assist with money, only with the location and a scientific committee.  Researchers present were brisk to ask for access to the telescope for other observational requests and even suggest it be handed over to Mexican hands after the GRB project was over.  After the presentation was over, the French researcher was swift to show us a very nice - cartoonish computer video of what the space telescope and terrestrial counterparts would do in case of a GRB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My bet is Chile will get the telescope.  My bet is that Mexico does have the money for such a project.  My bet is that we are appallingly poor politicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) in Sierra Negra, Mexico.  The largest in its class in the world and with a 116 million dollar price tag (70% covered by Mexican financing).  The National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) was quick, very quick, to move politically to get the site, the money and the scientific critical mass to get the project moving.  The telescope is now built but not functioning, but that is another long story having to do with the terrible engineering, not necessarily linked with the project's budget.  At least, it is physically there to be used whenever engineers decide to do it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another quick example: the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is a robotized 2.5 meter telescope in the USA, that has completely changed the face of astronomy by providing an incredible amount of data that has been used to obtain the same astronomical amount of results.  At 15 million dollars for 3 years of usage, its highly feasible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, at the UNAM, we will keep on waiting for some divine force to plop a telescope on San Pedro without getting our hands too dirty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At dinner after the French presentation I commented that I get really embarrassed and angry when seeing big countries building (other than their large 8 - 10 meter and billion dollar telescopes) 1 - 2 meter new generation robotized telescopes for such meager budgets.  Even their computer animations make it all the better.  And I was blasted, by the same mediocre answer I have been hearing for years: Mexico has no money for such projects, even less for cute computer videos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was there no money for the LMT?&lt;br /&gt;Was there no money for the project feasibility studies of TIM, Twin Telescope, SASIR?&lt;br /&gt;Was there no money for innumerable international trips that ended in nothing?&lt;br /&gt;OR&lt;br /&gt;Was there no strong political lobbying from the scientists?&lt;br /&gt;Was there no money to produce cute videos to make our undereducated and ignorant politicians aware of the importance of such projects?&lt;br /&gt;Was there no will to build small and limited (but within budget reach) telescopes instead of big castles-in-the-sky telescopes?&lt;br /&gt;Have we been snubbing doable science?&lt;br /&gt;Did we forget our reality and present day situation?&lt;br /&gt;Do we have enough telescopes and high-end facilities to shrug off alternative ideas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would usually say, aspire for something big and great and marvelous.  But that has lead us NOWHERE in the past 30 years.  Should we, for starters, become more humble?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-2405194940830073382?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/2405194940830073382/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=2405194940830073382&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/2405194940830073382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/2405194940830073382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/02/one-of-problems-of-science-in-mexico.html' title='(one of the) Problems of Science in Mexico'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3324/3264313923_d8133d637f_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-8165379570294651292</id><published>2009-02-08T22:39:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T15:48:50.014-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antropologia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rusia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='czar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pelicula'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rameau'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coraline'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='russia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barroco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baroque'/><title type='text'>Rameau Weekends</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3214304264_2812883213.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 330px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3214304264_2812883213.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);   white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;It's been a full weekend, thankfully.

The Rufino Tamayo Museum has a nice modest view of its permanent (archived) collection, including a Magritte, Ernst among others.  The Museum of Modern Art has a nice (and depressing) photographic look at animals in endangered lists.  Finally, the Anthropology Museum has, on loan, a very small part of the collections at the Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, giving us a brief glimpse at the art from imperial Russia.  It's quite funny really, the Russians (my most admired musicians and politicians) had terrible taste in decoration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;On Sunday the normal grocery shopping - cooking - cleaning routine, together with some plant buying (I intend to grow my own mint and dill).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;To top it all off, a friend of mine was kind enough to lend me a substantial amount of music from French baroque composer Jean - Philippe Rameau.  I listened to at least 10 CDs in the weekend, from 7 different works.  For instrumentation and composition, Rameau is truly gifted, occasionally surpassing Vivaldi in imagination and elegance (for example: Fifth Concert - La Forqueray --- seen in the embedded video).  Unfortunately, he's not that great with vocals (unlike Vivaldi and Händel).  None the less, a fantastic composer to which I will have to look deeper into.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);   white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);   white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q91uKmNW8js&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q91uKmNW8js&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-8165379570294651292?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/8165379570294651292/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=8165379570294651292&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8165379570294651292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8165379570294651292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/02/rameau-weekends.html' title='Rameau Weekends'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3214304264_2812883213_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-7482726118485357405</id><published>2009-01-27T21:29:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T21:31:24.806-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='orgasmo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musical orgasm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='orgasmo musical'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='orgasm'/><title type='text'>Everything you always wanted to know about "musical orgasms"* (but were</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3214244664/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/3214244664_ab6aef2c18.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3214244664/"&gt;Curls&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Everything you always wanted to know about "musical orgasms"* (but were afraid to ask)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Is this a joke?&lt;br /&gt;A. First of all, let me start by stating that I am not exaggerating nor am I lying.  A Google search on the term "musical orgasms" or "musical ecstasy" will bring, not surprising, a bunch of unwanted results, except possibly the first two.  The first one describes "shiver moments" during particular songs; the second defines the term as referring to "feelings of ecstasy, omniscience, immortality and sublime understanding" together with other wishful thoughts.  They do hit the spot, but are very ambiguous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. So what triggers it?&lt;br /&gt;A. Although I've found no evidence for this, I am quite sure it is some type of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia"&gt;synesthesia&lt;/a&gt; (the musical - color type is one I've always wanted to experience).   It is involuntary, automatic, memorable and filled with affect. In my case, it is generated by a consecutive series of notes and chords that "hit the right spot", played at a certain tempo that bring about the sensation.  It is particular to only a few musical pieces, and for a few seconds (at most) only.  In my case it is triggered, usually, by classical music; but I am quite sure it can be achieved differently by anyone.  It also has to do with musical interpretation, the same piece by different musicians will quite probably not generate the sensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. How does it feel like?&lt;br /&gt;A. "Musical orgasms" or MOs are instantly triggered when the musical selection plays and last up to a few seconds later.  It is automatic, when the passage plays the brain will react, no need to pay special attention.  There is a strong tingling sensation on the spine, the arms, legs and hands.  The sense of sight is affected for a fraction of a second, due to involuntary and prolonged eyelid closure.  The music, in itself, is very strongly amplified (this is common after the first encounter with the musical passage, when there is awareness of the pending incoming sensation).  A "butterflies in the stomach" sensation can also accompany the whole experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. So which musical pieces cause this in me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me provide a few very specific examples (some fortunately with the correct musical link):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Aria: Se il cor guerriero - Opera Tito Manlio by Antonio Vivaldi - Naïve Classique - 2005 - Min 1:59 - 2:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Aria: Orribile lo scempio - Opera Tito Manlio by Antonio Vivaldi - Naïve Classique - 2005 - Min 2:24 - 2:26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Aria: Lo Seguitai Felice - Opera L'Olimpiade by Antonio Vivaldi - Naïve Classique / Opus 111 - 2002 - Min 0:46 - 0:49 &amp;amp; 5:02 - 5:08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMaEhhXPiMw&amp;amp;fmt=18"&gt; Aria: In Furore Giustissimae Irae &lt;/a&gt;- "Motets" compilation of Antonio Vivaldi - Europa Galante with Fabio Biondi - 2004 - Min 0.08 - 0:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Concerto in Mi minore RV432 Allegro - Concerti per flauto traversiere by Antonio Vivaldi - Naïve Classique - Min 0:17 - 0:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Dixit Dominus RV808 1. Coro - Vivaldi Dixit Dominus by Antonio Vivaldi - Dresdner Instrumental with Peter Kopp - Min 0:17 - 0:21&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Domine Ad Adiuvandum Me Festina RV.593 1. - Vespri per l'Assunzione di Maria Vergine (Disc 1) - Naïve Classique - Min 0:43 - 0:49&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Laudate Pueri Dominum (Allegro) 1. - "Motets" compilation of Antonio Vivaldi - Europa Galante with Fabio Biondi - 2004 - Min 0:04 - 0:14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPGbin0c8Q"&gt;Dixit Dominus HWV.232 1. - Dixit Dominus&lt;/a&gt; by George Frederich Händel - Les Musiciens du Louvre with Minkowski - Min. 0:07 - 0:10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efY3WOjmLOw"&gt;Dixit Dominus HWV.232 Dominus a dextris tuis &lt;/a&gt;- Dixit Dominus by George Frederich Händel - Les Musiciens du Louvre with Minkowski - Min 5:25 - 5:33&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Symphony No. 10 - Shostakovich Edition Disc 6 - Rudolf Barshai &amp;amp; WDR Sinfonieorchester - Brilliant Classics - Min 12:00 - 12:09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is by far the largest which also produces uncontrollable sobbing:&lt;br /&gt;- Symphony No. 7 Op. 60 Allegro Non Troppo - Symphony No. 7 - St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra with Vladimir Ashkenazy - Min: 14:04 - 16:39&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Then why aren't you listening to this stuff all day long?&lt;br /&gt;A. Unfortunately, MOs' can't be triggered every time by playing the same musical section.  They tend to disappear with time and usage, and re-appear  after long periods of inactivity.  For example: musical section X can generate MOs for the first 10 or 20 times played, but will eventually stop having any effect, after being abandoned completely for 2 or 3 months, it will manifest itself softly again (once or twice), until abandoned again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. The final demeaning question is: are you musically impotent/frigid or musically orgasmic?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-7482726118485357405?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/7482726118485357405/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=7482726118485357405&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7482726118485357405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7482726118485357405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/01/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know.html' title='Everything you always wanted to know about &amp;quot;musical orgasms&amp;quot;* (but were'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/3214244664_ab6aef2c18_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-4750797188744488740</id><published>2009-01-16T21:03:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T21:07:49.395-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rv 232'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holy shit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dixit dominus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barroca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='handel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baroque'/><title type='text'>...holy shit...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3138670557/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/3138670557_25c8870906.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3138670557/"&gt;Picture Perfect&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; If, for some strange reason, some day you want to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"HOLY SHIT !

I doubt you'll agree, yet beauty is in the eye of the beholder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In no particular order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) BURN AFTER READING - a movie about idiots which causes the viewer to have surprisingly good laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) IRON MAN - a superhero movie that gets you into the trials and errors of a interesting character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT - superbly acted (except for Bale's stupid superhero voice) and extremely dark, makes it one of the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) BOLT - excellent animation and delicious humor make this movie a family must - see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) CLOVERFIELD - full of intense suspense and petite thrilling scenes, this movie rocks and abandons cliché endings for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) ARRÁNCAME LA VIDA - a very good production from Mexico, with superb one-liners and fine acting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY - Del Toro's visual genius never fails to amaze and Hellboy is at the peak of his imagination; even if the story is not so great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) WALL - E  -  the first 30 minutes are the finest in the history of movies.  The rest is just garbage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) WANTED - fun, exagerated and over-blow, this is a movie to have fun and never to be taken seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10)  THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL - yes, this is a full-length soap-opera, but looking back on 2008, it was a mediocre year for movies.  I had to cover number 10 with something and this was probably the last of the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO WHICH ONE WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-1138603675051008778?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/1138603675051008778/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=1138603675051008778&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1138603675051008778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1138603675051008778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/01/partially-best.html' title='...

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Before even starting, I just want to point out that my past New Year's resolutions have been followed and achieved.  What were they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- To answer friend's mail almost immediately (not let it dust in the inbox) &gt; check&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Maintain contact with old friends (through Facebook this became easy) &gt; check&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This 2009, other than (obviously) getting a good grade on my master's exam, I have two other resolutions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Each day to read 5 pages from any book (excluding astronomy); therefore going through several books a year for a total of at least 1825 pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) This is a toughy.  Instead of hasting into criticism, I must find empathy with anybody's situation, comment or point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the recipes for this past New Year's Eve dinner.  It was yummy delicious and fairly easy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Scallops in bourbon with mandarin and cardamom scented wild rice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Let 30 sea scallops simmer in 1 cup of bourbon, 1 cup of olive oil , two tablespoons of cayenne pepper and half a finely chopped purple onion for several hours in the fridge.&lt;br /&gt;- Get them very slightly browned in a hot skillet with the left over mixture juice.&lt;br /&gt;- Cook commercial wild rice together with a teaspoon of rinds of mandarin peel and 10 cardamom cocoons.&lt;br /&gt;- Serve the scallops on top of a bed of wild rice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) Poblano chili filled with shrimp in sweet tree chile sauce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Get fresh poblano chilis, roast and remove exterior skin together with the interior veins.&lt;br /&gt;- Use around 7 medium sized shrimps to fill each chili, break them up into 1 cm long pieces.&lt;br /&gt;- For the sauce: put 1/2 onion to brown with olive oil in a pan.  Then add a tablespoon of garlic and cook fast.  Add two cups of tomato purée, six tablespoons of honey, three tablespoons of brown sugar, one tree chili (chile de arbol) without veins, and a cup of chicken stock.  Let it reduce to half its volume or until syrupy.  The sauce should be sweet and very slightly hot, adjust to taste.&lt;br /&gt;- Sauté the shrimp with olive oil until pink and add the sauce.&lt;br /&gt;- For the bed use puréed black beans (around 5 cups), prepared with a bit of lard for taste, four hoja-santa (acuyo) leaf, olive oil, and two pasilla chilis.  After everything is mixed and cooked purée again.&lt;br /&gt;- Stuff the chilis, sprinkle strong-flavored cheese on the opening.  Heat until cheese is melted.  Serve ontop of a bed of beans.&lt;br /&gt;- Serve with the previous rice as side dish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5036189977104086786?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5036189977104086786/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5036189977104086786&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5036189977104086786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5036189977104086786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-year-resolutions.html' title='New Year&amp;#39;s Resolutions'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3262/3157241592_f9f9a393b4_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-5912142726995459097</id><published>2008-12-27T08:33:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T08:50:19.437-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='100000'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hundred thousand'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='visitas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photographs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='visitors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astronomía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kilometers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cien mil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pesos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astronomy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kilometros'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horas'/><title type='text'>100,000</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/SVZAlBqPiaI/AAAAAAAAACo/EXEqTU3rO2Q/s1600-h/DSC00129.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Saturday was a day brimming with activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;First off, the new MUAC (Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo  --- University Museum of Contemporary Art) at the UNAM.  We arrived at 10 and, strangely enough, it opened at 12 (what world - class museum does that?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So we headed to have some breakfast at a nearby Sanborns, which had in store terrible service for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We then headed back to the MUAC.  By all means, its a huge and terrific museum.  The display rooms are spacious and high, the corridors are filled with natural light and there are beautiful minimalist outlets scarcely populated by trees.   The first room had a nice set of pieces: 3D hearts made out of tree branches, modern photography, audio - only rooms as sensorial experiments.  The second room was filled with photography from various war driven zones (past and present) that blast the spectator with the horrors of destruction.  The third room had several audiovisual installations, from pyrophobic lights to Soviet-era transport prices list reading.  The last room had a very strange installation, filled with nazi-era memorabilia and a controlled rat lab; videos of choir boys singing were displayed all around the yellow - red - black plastic building inside the room; extraordinarily bizarre and replete with bad taste.  Just outside the museum, on the roadway, there was another curious piece: an old car  with the inside filled with scattered papers, pieces that would appear as extracted from the trunk were placed on top of the folded backseats, the car was open to anyone who wanted to wonder around.  The stupid motherfucker who broke into my car was a complete imbecile: he stole nothing of interest, not the car toolkit, not the car registration, not the spare tire, not the $8 pesos that were lying there --- he only took a (somewhat expensive) cable for charging my iPod with the lighter plugin.  He managed to deform my car door, break in, open the motor latch and disconnect the alarm speaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What really blows my mind is the complete idiocy of spectators: the car was parked right next to the bus stop, where several people were present at the time of my discovery and which was probably populated during the robbery and watched upon.  No wonder the country dwells in a terrible crime ridden situation: people like to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;From there we drove to a faraway commercial center to look around and do some last minute shopping.  We managed to see Woody Allen's newest film "Vicky Barcelona" which is a complete pointless bore --- one of his worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5655420785337391793?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5655420785337391793/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5655420785337391793&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5655420785337391793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5655420785337391793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/12/artistic-performance.html' title='Artistic Performance'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3141/3105008904_4644c49dd5_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-7423264683872671267</id><published>2008-12-20T07:34:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-20T07:36:03.271-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexicano'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rudo y cursi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='méxico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='película'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='luna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gael garcía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cuaron'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><title type='text'>¿Cómo se llamó la obra?</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; What a weekend !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend of my cousin came to Mexico, and I was in charge of showing her around through the weekend.  But before all that, I managed to lose one of my fountain pens with orange ink --- just to find it in a shirt after a washing cycle in my machine.  Must I really say that some of my clothing got irreparably stained?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First we went to the Anthropology Museum and took quite a while to cruise through it.  Then to the Museum of Modern Art, of which almost all sections were closed while setting new exhibitions.  When we returned to where I always park the car when visiting Chapultepec Park, we found it wasn't there anymore.  I was parked in a forbidden area, but I was the only one towed against the 10 cars behind me in the same area.  So we went to look for the car and found it in the first car depot, fortunately.  My American friend decided to stay there with us until everything was resolved.  My parents had to come with their ID to get it out much faster and without hassle (for the car is in their name).  We lost about 2.5 hours.  We then headed to the downtown area, quickly saw the murals at the Palacio de Bellas Artes, walked around and went to El Cardenal to eat.  There we had to order quickly for they were closing the kitchen soon.  Afterwards we headed to the  Zócalo (and its crowded surrounding streets due to the ice rink).  We were completely spent and called it a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, we arrived early at Frida Kahlo's house (what's up with foreigners and the una-brow painter???), we then drove through Ciudad Universitaria and reached the Dolores Olmedo Museum.  More painting of Frida and Diego Rivera were readily available to our guest.  Later we took the light rail to Xochimilco and walked around the docks of the trajineras.  Our schedule was too tight so we couldn't take the watery trip.  We visited the center of Xochimilco and it ancient church (est. 1567).  We went back to the Dolores Olmedo (where the car was parked in a permitted space) and headed to Polanco to eat at El Bajío restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was 18:00 already and we had to be at the concert around 20, 20:30.  So we left our tourist at her hotel, but were blocked in several ocassions by police men closing avenues everywhere.  We need to go east, but that road was closed --- we took a congested optional avenue.  There we needed to go east, but again it was closed to we had to drive around that.  Then we were completely stuck on traffic when going north due to an avenue being intermitently due to a parade.  We reached the hotel and then couldn't go back south due to the road blocks, so we went north to go around all of this but were blocked to go east.  I then went deep into downtown Mexico City, finally south just to find the road end in another blockade.  Fed up I went the wrong way in a one-way street.  And finally was able to go to my house, submerged in deep traffic.  At 19:45 I was able to take the metro to the concert stadium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concert was OK, good but not great.  Sweet but a bit sour.  Difficult to stick as part of your body and mind.  In these concerts you depend on the spirit of the attendees, but they were rather bleak and distant.  Madonna was faraway in the stage, although the sound was good.  We were fingered, fucked upon, booed and stupidly taught spanish, but everyone loved (me included) every single word of her Majesty.  Just as the people started responding to the music and the Queen of Pop, the whole concert was over.  I had a good time and I'll remember it always...yet...I wish...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6310442331992086934?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6310442331992086934/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6310442331992086934&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6310442331992086934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6310442331992086934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/12/sticky-sweet-sour.html' title='Sticky &amp;amp; Sweet &amp;amp; Sour'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/3074657614_367095c1a8_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-9112956041203319877</id><published>2008-11-21T10:59:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T13:12:12.764-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aportaciones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amlo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='donativos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teletón'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prd'/><title type='text'>Donativos</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3032364774/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/3032364774_5836b67e14.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/3032364774/"&gt;Green White Red&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Ayer, un grupo de mexicanos decidió no donar más dinero a una causa que parecía buena al principio y a la cual habían apoyado durante algunos años.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué?

Están verdaderamente grandes e interesantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo: el sitio maya de Sayil, donde solamente vimos "El Palacio", el edificio más importante.  Está bonito, pero nada extraordinario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tercero: el sitio de Kabah, rápidamente.  Verdaderamente extraordinario en su detalle y belleza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuarto: Comer al hotel Misión de la ruta Puuk (mejor que nuestro hotel en Mérida).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quinto: Uxmal de tarde - noche.  Una experiencia fabulosa en un lugar de inimaginable belleza.  Los colores del atardecer se postraron sobre las pirámides.  En la noche la Luna, Venus y Júpiter nos acompañaban.  Una experiencia que nunca se me olvidará.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexto: De regreso al hotel para bañarnos y/o cambiarnos en 25 minutos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Séptimo: Una cena, bastante buena, en una hacienda cerca a Mérida (sopa de chile poblano, pechuga de pollo en salsa de tamarindo, mouse de limón).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6760171243668316431?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6760171243668316431/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6760171243668316431&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6760171243668316431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6760171243668316431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/11/merida-2.html' title='Merida 2'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/3007600219_4ef1aa66ab_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1309977921305447655</id><published>2008-11-03T11:00:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T11:00:26.091-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Mérida 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2989425930/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2989425930_4bda5c20af.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2989425930/"&gt;Duomo di Milano&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	021108&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ha sido un dia verdaderamente raro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el aeropuerto me encontré a Tomás, Lucía y Elena (dos de los cuales iban a Mérida también).  El grupo se fracturó en algún momento y deambulamos por la terminal durante una hora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El vuelo se demoró un poco debido a que un señor que había sido rebotado de un vuelo de Aeroméxico a nuestro vuelo de Click, tenía su maleta en el pasillo ya que no existía lugar en los compartimentos superiores.  Al final tuvieron que mandar su maleta en otro vuelo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Llegamos rápidamente a Mérida y los 6 integrantes del Instituto en el vuelo, tomaron la misma camioneta al hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El hotel es un fiasco.  El precio en recepción lee $1250 pesos + 17% de impuestos.  Las habitaciones están viejas y descuidadas, el internet es nulo en la mía y el baño deja muchísmo que desear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomás y yo salimos a caminar al centro (que se encuentra a 4 cuadras del hotel) y acabamos comiendo en unos puestecitos que se ponen en el primer cuadro durante los domingos.  Un relleno negro bastante aguado y un tamal horneado, bueno pero seco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después caminamos al Paseo Montejo que queda a 7 cuadras del centro (lejos...según los locales).  Es bonito, hay que admitirlo, pero de las pocas casonas viejas que quedan, varias están en mal estado...una verdadera pena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regresamos al hotel.  Encontré que se me había olvidado el cepillo de dientes en México y fuimos a comprar uno y a deambular por el centro de noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La catedral es bastante interesante en su interior, completamente carente de detalles, pero blanca y con un sentimiento de ser completamente nueva (a pesar de tener más de 120 años).  Fuimos a otras iglesias y al palacio de gobierno.  Definitivamente es una ciudad más viva de noche que de tarde.  Hay poco que ver, pero mucha vida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al final, en el hotel, atendimos el coctel de bienvenida.  Una fiesta aburrida con comida de fiesta infantil (solamente faltaban los bollos desabridos con mole corriente).  La gente empezó a retirarse a la hora de empezado.  Poco después quitaron la música, las copas y los meseros tomaban del vino que sobró.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un gato se relamía ante un nadador inesperado en la alberca del hotel, a lo que fui a investigar.  Un solitario murciélago había caído al agua.  Lo saqué dos veces pero decidió regresar al agua (a pesar de lo alejado que lo había puesto de la alberca).  No puedo interferir con los deseos de la naturaleza...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-1309977921305447655?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/1309977921305447655/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=1309977921305447655&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1309977921305447655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1309977921305447655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/11/mrida-1.html' title='Mérida 1'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2989425930_4bda5c20af_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-2840983172913474372</id><published>2008-10-24T07:31:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T07:33:47.223-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='la jornada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pemex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amlo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reforma energética'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='newspaper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='periodico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reforma'/><title type='text'>...mentiras, mentiras...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

Now, that entry-level Macbook costs $999 USD and around $16,000 pesos.  That is almost a 30% increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know the peso has devaluated its value by 20% in the past weeks, but it is still FAR from the 30% increase Apple has imposed on the Mexican market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now the good Macbook book (the aluminum one) is priced at $20,500 ($1650 USD).  If you think you can get away with this, think twice, your profits in Mexico have just shrunk immeasurably.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5946908759090421341?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5946908759090421341/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5946908759090421341&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5946908759090421341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5946908759090421341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodbye-apple-computers.html' title='...goodbye Apple computers...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/2914616313_fdabca5ef6_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-4664743973380407125</id><published>2008-10-06T08:42:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T09:39:15.768-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trade union'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='luz y fuerza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='luz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jornada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lyf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='light'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='private'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='privatización'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='periodico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='privada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sindicato electricistas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sindicato'/><title type='text'>...energía...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2914616347/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3176/2914616347_9cdb57db54.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2914616347/"&gt;Domestic Sun&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Hoy el Periódico LA JORNADA (la fuente de mayor des-información en el país) ha publicado uno de los más amañados artículos en su historia reciente y en primera plana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Léalo ud. mismo abajo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primero, el periódico le dio amplio espacio a un sindicato completamente afín a López Obrador para expresarse.  Segundo, no da una sola cifra dura y no muestra un solo contra-argumento .  Tercero, es más superficial que la epidermis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empecemos la crítica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- La posibilidad de generar energía por mano propia y evitar pagar al estado viene desde 1992.  Al sindicato solamente se le ocurre sacar el tema ahora (y LA JORNADA ponerlo en primera plana) para generar más crítica a la Reforma Energética (cuya discusión empieza en estos días)  y ampliar la psicosis que el Sr. Obrador (mecenas del sindicato) ha inventado alrededor de la privatización.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Si las empresas han optado por esta forma de abastecimiento deja en claro las altas cuotas que México paga en luz y la carencia total de opciones más viables, competitivas y baratas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Además, deja en evidencia total (lo que todos los mexicanos sabemos) la prácticamente nula  responsabilidad de Luz y Fuerza del Centro y la CFE para atacar el problema de diablitos, hacer cobros correctos de la luz (van 6 meses que pago de más a lo marcado), tener un servicio eficiente, una plantilla laboral trabajadora y un abastecimiento impecable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Todos sabemos que en época de lluvia al primer ventarrón se va la luz.  Esto no sucede en países desarrollados tan frecuentemente y las empresas no pueden tener su producción a la merced de la mala infraestructura de la compañía de luz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Finalmente varios puntos:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si Luz y Fuerza está sumido en deudas será, de nuevo, por no poner alto a diablitos, ser tolerantes ante la ilegalidad, tener un sindicato ineficiente y poco trabajador, por tener beneficios laborales ridículos que han "ganado" a lo largo de los años (sus trabajadores no pagan la luz) y carecer de un plan a corto, mediano y largo plazo para encantar a las empresas que son quienes más les consumen. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;La deuda de Luz y Fuerza(una empresa paraestatal que solamente abastece el centro del país) oscila entre los &lt;a href="http://www.lfc.gob.mx/files/balance2008.gif"&gt;142,000 millones de pesos&lt;/a&gt; (70% destinado para pensiones de su sindicato y no para generar energía), cuando la Comisión Federal de Electricidad, una empresa federal con certificados a nivel internacional (que abastece al resto del país) también suma una deuda de &lt;a href="http://www.cfe.gob.mx/es/LaEmpresa/finanzas/composiciondeladeuda/segtrim08/"&gt;104,000 millones de pesos&lt;/a&gt; (de los cuales 65,000 millones son deudas del gobierno PIDIREGAS, no de la empresa). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si bien el gobierno federal tiene parcialmente la culpa, sería ridículo eximir al Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas de cualquier culpa, al ser uno de los cuerpos sindicales más retrógrados del país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;LA JORNADA&lt;br /&gt;Se expande un sistema eléctrico privado y paralelo, alerta el SME&lt;br /&gt;■ Se vale de las redes públicas con cargo al erario&lt;br /&gt;■ Es “un claro proceso privatizador”&lt;br /&gt;■ Al sector eléctrico nacional se le escamotea el presupuesto, se le endeuda y no se lo deja crecer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patricia Muñoz Ríos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En los últimos meses se han otorgado 617 permisos a grandes empresas privadas y trasnacionales que operan en México para que generen su propia energía eléctrica; por ejemplo, se concedieron 19 de estos permisos a Bimbo, 17 a Cinemex, 20 a distintos ingenios azucareros, 13 a Liverpool, 95 permisos a Wal-Mart de México y 119 a Telmex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Estamos ante la creación de un sistema eléctrico privado o construido en forma paralela a la industria eléctrica nacional”, apuntó el secretario general del Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas (SME), Martín Esparza. Expuso que, en contraste, al sector eléctrico público se le escamotea presupuesto, se le endeuda y no se le deja crecer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El dirigente sindical indicó que la Comisión Reguladora de Energía (CRE) otorgó 68 permisos de electricidad para “usos propios”; 22 a productores independientes; dos a pequeños propietarios; ocho para exportación; 73 para cogeneración y 617 de autoabasto. De estos últimos sobresalen, por ejemplo, las 95 autorizaciones otorgadas a Wal-Mart, empresa que ya no paga energía eléctrica. “No podemos siquiera llamar a esto privatización silenciosa o secreta. Es un llano y claro proceso privatizador”, expuso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta comisión se ha dedicado en años recientes, en especial en los gobiernos “del cambio democrático”, a transitar de lo público a lo privado el sector energético. La prueba es que todas las nuevas obras de plantas generadoras se han entregado a empresas privadas, en especial extranjeras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martín Esparza destacó que no solamente los permisionarios dejan de pagar su consumo, sino que también distribuyen energía a sus “compañías asociadas” en todo el país. Así opera, por ejemplo, Iberdrola con sus enormes plantas de autoabasto, que generan 527 megavatios; Tractebel, con 229; Termoeléctrica Peñoles, con 230; Termoeléctrica del Golfo, con 230; Energía Azteca, con 131, y Enertek, que tiene un permiso de cogeneración.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estas plantas operan para autoabastecer a amplios sectores de clientes que le quitan a la Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) y a Luz y Fuerza del Centro. Por ejemplo, Iberdrola ha sido autorizada por la CRE para modificar una y otra vez su “cartera de clientes”, que abarcan importantes empresas vidrieras, cementeras, papeleras y de otros sectores. Lo mismo en el estado de México, que en Guerrero, Michoacán, Puebla, Veracruz y otras entidades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Se trata de verdaderos sistemas eléctricos privados, auspiciados por las trasnacionales disfrazadas, que usurpan las funciones constitucionales de la energía eléctrica nacionalizada, desintegrando a la industria nacional o al sistema eléctrico nacional”, señaló Esparza Flores, y apuntó que para completar el panorama, la CRE ha repartido concesiones a infinidad de plantas privadas pequeñas, que forman un sistema “virtual”, que incluso pone en riesgo la operación del sistema eléctrico nacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además, la mayoría utilizan plantas pequeñas de respaldo, con base en diesel, pese a que muchas están enclavadas en grandes centros urbanos. Es el caso de Enertek, Micase, Energía Azteca III, Hidroelectricidad del Pacífico, Proveedora de Electricidad de Occidente. No quepa la menor duda, se privatiza. La entrega del recurso está a la vista, dijo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las obras nuevas, sean en la industria petrolera o en la eléctrica, están siendo realizadas por empresas extranjeras, pero a la CFE como a Pemex no les permiten crecer, y las endeudan enormemente por medio de los Piridegas desde hace más de 10 años; persisten en vulnerar sus capacidades técnicas; retraen el potencial científico del país; socavan la esencia de las empresas; embargan y endeudan el futuro energético del país, apuntó el líder del SME, y señaló que la soberanía energética esta en declive si no es que ya tiende a desaparecer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Planteó que los permisos se disfrazan de autorizaciones para “autoconsumo”, pero significan la base de un sistema eléctrico privado, que se vale de las redes públicas, ya que estas empresas requieren servicios de transmisión y respaldo que obligan a la expandir la red pública y, más aún, a la instalación de una reserva adicional de generación, todo con cargo al erario.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-4664743973380407125?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/4664743973380407125/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=4664743973380407125&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/4664743973380407125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/4664743973380407125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/10/energa.html' title='...energía...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3176/2914616347_9cdb57db54_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-7744111118319592663</id><published>2008-10-03T16:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T16:44:36.026-05:00</updated><title type='text'>...¿qué necesidad?...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2905392800/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3066/2905392800_dfa8000bd4.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2905392800/"&gt;Pomegranate&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	Andrés Leonardo Gómez Emilsson hoy dejó en claro que en México estamos todavía muy lejos de tener libertad de expresión plena, cuerpos de orden idióticos y narcisistas inconsistentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este alumno, quien recibió un galardón por parte del presidente Calderon, más tarde en la misma ceremonia se le ocurrió gritarle "espurio". Por lo que fue removido, y remitido a una agencia de ministerio público, sin que los padres fueran informados de su paradero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo tengo varias preguntas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué necesidad hubo de remitirlo a un ministerio público?&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué ley violó?&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué pasó con la libertad de expresión?&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué no se dijeron las causas por las que se le remitió ante los medios?&lt;br /&gt;¿A qué le temen?&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué no tenía los pantalones Andrés para decirselo en la cara a Calderón cuando lo saludó de mano?&lt;br /&gt;¿Si es espurio, por qué le dio la mano?&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué está estudiando en Noruega?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si, te ganaste el premio con tu esfuerzo.  Pero si no estabas de acuerdo con quién lo entregaba, pues no hubieras asistido.  Han existido declinaciones en el Nobel, Óscares y demás.  Aquí solamente (parece ser) era una estatuilla.  ¿En verdad fuiste por eso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En verdad estoy molesto con la respuesta represora de las fuerzas del orden.  Tonto sería achacárselo a Calderón, y debería ser él quien emita una respuesta ante las actitudes el EMP.&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, me queda clarísimo que este alumno es patético.  Basta leer sus entradas publicadas en un blog (que presento hasta el final de este comentario).  El jovencito vive envuelto en los frutos de su propio narcisismo; se ama, se quiere, se adora.&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, no me extraña que su padre haya sido académico de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas de la UNAM y que haya sido él quién posiblemente introdujo, aporto o apoyó en la idea.  Ya que para grillos e inconformes existe un especial lugar en Cd. Universitaria y se llama Ciencias políticas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EL UNIVERSAL&lt;br /&gt;Andrés Leonardo Gómez Emilsson nació el 23 de septiembre de 1990, obtuvo la medalla de plata en la Olimpiada Centroamericana y del Caribe en 2006, que se realizó en Panamá. Estudia en el Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades Sur, de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.&lt;br /&gt;Según la página de internet http://elateneos.freehostia.com, Andrés Gómez es el fundador de El Ateneo Society o también llamada "High IQ Society", cuyo objetivo principal es "crear una mejor sociedad intelectual cada día".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el blog http://fabricadeinventores.blogspot.com, creado por Raúl Macías, quien está interesado en promover. difundir y reconocer a inventores e inventos en países de habla hispana, Andrés escribe en un post fechado el 11 de septiembre de 2005:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Déjame presentarme, Mi nombre es Andrés Leonardo Gómez Emilsson. Fundador de Elateneo/s society. (...) Te podré decir que he hecho mucho mi corta vida. Obtuve un primer lugar nacional (además de un tercero y un segundo en otros años) en el concurso "Olimpiada de mayo".Obtuve un primer lugar nacional en el concurso "Leamos la ciencia para todos", siendo el más joven de los ganadores. Obtuve una medalla de Bronce internacional en un concurso conocido como IJSO (International Junior Science Olympiad). Actualmente me preparo para representar a México en el concurso de física IYPT. Y entreno duro para la olimpiada mexicana de matemáticas, que ahora estoy en los finalistas del Distrito Federal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Además soy miembro de 5 sociedades conocidas "High IQ". Y creador de The blue test.(...) Considero que nuestra interacción crea un enorme potencial de interactividad entre ambas organizaciones. Por lo pronto Elateneo/s society tiene 33 miembros a nivel internacional, de los cuales 8 son mexicanos. Cuando sean suficientes mexicanos crearé un canal específico de interacción en México (Elateneo/s México).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Estoy diseñando un examen supervisado para medir capacidades intelectuales en términos generales, para otorgar con precisión una calificación fiable en niveles aproximados de entre 90 y 140 de IQ (ds=16). La intención que lleva crear esto es para permitir medir capacidades que The blue test es incapaz de medir, pues éste último mide con precisión de 130 a 160.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En su Hi5, por su parte, escribe: "No quiero ser una persona que se comporte pasiva ante la vida y el acontecer social. El hecho de que históricamente, no ha habido una sociedad equitativa, no represiva, democrática y que respete la diversidad (humana, ideológico, ecológica, etc.), no implica que no exista un modelo social que cumpla esto, sino que no se ha descubierto (o que si se descubrió, no se ha logrado establecer), la idea sería describirlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Creo que la inteligencia, el conocimiento, la curiosidad y la reflexión, ayudan tremendamente en la lucha por la equidad. Y por último, que a pesar de no conocer un modelo ideal, se puede ver que actuar a nivel local, es mejor que no actuar (por ejemplo, luchar por la democracia, luchar por la educación, luchar por la ecología, luchar en contra de los paradigmas caducos de la sociedad, religión, y educación.)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	De su interés:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los habitantes del Distrito Federal están dispuestos a tolerar y justificar la violencia y la ilegalidad si esto se da en defensa propia, por proteger a la familia o los bienes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La justificación de esa violencia se midió y registró en una encuesta que realizó el ex alcalde de Bogotá, Colombia, Antanas Mockus, entre 2 mil 500 capitalinos, la cual reveló que 19% de los entrevistados aprobó el linchamiento de los ladrones por parte de los ciudadanos, en tanto que 12% estimó que los policías deberían matar a los delincuentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero esta opinión sobre lo que debe hacer la Policía contrasta con la percepción que los propios capitalinos tienen respecto de los cuerpos de seguridad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sólo 12% de los entrevistados manifestó tener confianza en la Policía, aunque en este aspecto fueron los políticos, los funcionarios públicos y los sindicatos, los peor calificados respecto de la confianza que de ellos tiene la población.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son los maestros, el Ejército, la Iglesia y los medios de comunicación los que gozan de la mayor confianza de parte de la población en el Distrito Federal, por encima de los gobiernos federal y de la ciudad de México.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antanas Mockus presentó los resultados de esta encuesta sobre cultura ciudadana en el patio del Antiguo Palacio del Ayuntamiento y ante Marcelo Ebrard, jefe de Gobierno capitalino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sondeo se realizó entre el 25 de mayo y el 11 de junio, previo a la muerte de jóvenes en la discoteca New´s Divine, y de que se conocieran los secuestros de Fernando Martí y Silvia Vargas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La encuesta, aplicada en viviendas a hombres y mujeres mayores de 14 años, revela que 50% de los entrevistados justifica el desobedecer la ley por defender a la familia, en tanto que un 60% aprobó la violencia en defensa propia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los políticos tuvieron 5% de confianza de la ciudadanía, los funcionarios públicos 6%, los sindicatos sólo 8%, el Congreso 9% y los jueces 13%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los maestros obtuvieron 42% en niveles de confianza, el Ejército 35% y la Iglesia 34%, en tanto que los gobiernos de Felipe Calderón y de Marcelo Ebrard obtuvieron 16% cada uno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En sus conclusiones, Antanas Mockus calificó como una tragedia que sea tan mala la percepción de los capitalinos en relación con los funcionarios, los políticos, los policías, los jueces y el congreso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero en la ciudad, la percepción de los habitantes respecto a la inseguridad también fue pésima, pues en una escala de uno a cinco el Distrito Federal obtuvo dos, mientras que otras ciudades de América Latina, como Medellín, Belo Horizonte (Brasil) y Bogota se encuentran por encima de la ciudad de México, con 3.4, 2.7 y 2.5 puntos, respectivamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Mi regalito para ti el día de hoy.&lt;br /&gt;Etiquetar de "imbécil" a toda persona que concuerde con lo siguiente:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Condiciona AMLO a Ejecutivo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demandan cambios en modelo económico y Gabinete de seguridad para sumarse a unidad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;José Alonso Torres y Carole Simonnet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jalisco,  México (19 de septiembre de 2008).-   Andrés Manuel López Obrador condicionó ayer su apoyo al llamado a la unidad que lanzó en la víspera el Presidente Felipe Calderón, a que el Ejecutivo cambie el modelo económico, remueva al Gabinete de seguridad y retire sus propuesta de reforma petrolera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En su discurso, durante un mitin en el municipio jalisciense de Pihuamo, el ex candidato presidencial condenó los ataques contra la población civil en Morelia, y se pronunció en contra de cualquier acto de violencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ahora que Calderón está planteando que es necesaria la unidad, la respuesta que le damos desde Pihuamo es que queremos que cambie la política que está aplicando", señalo López Obrador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Para la unidad es indispensable que se cumplan tres condiciones: primero, que cambie su política económica; segundo, que cambie al Secretario de Seguridad Pública, al Procurador General, y al Secretario de Gobernación, lo tiene que hacer ya, rápido, porque la situación del País lo amerita, y que retire la denominada reforma energética", dijo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además, el político tabasqueño culpó al Presidente Calderón de la ola de violencia que azota al País, por haber "lanzado a lo tonto un garrotazo al avispero".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo ello, señaló López Obrador, independientemente de que Calderón sea el responsable del desempleo, la pobreza y la falta de oportunidades que provocaron la escalada de la violencia y la inseguridad en México.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"También es culpable Calderón de los errores que ha cometido, y en política, los errores son como crímenes", argumentó&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antes, en la comunidad de San Marcos, en el municipio de Tonila, López Obrador dijo que Calderón y el Secretario de Gobernación, Juan Camilo Mouriño, no tienen calidad moral para combatir al crimen organizado, ya que ellos mismos eran unos delincuentes por haberse robado la elección presidencial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No se puede gobernar si no se tiene autoridad moral, si no se tiene autoridad política", puntualizó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;López Obrador inició ayer su cuarta gira por Jalisco, y en la que por cuatro días visitará 23 municipios del sur de la entidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por otra parte, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, coordinador del FAP, dijo que para sumarse al llamado de unidad de Calderón, es necesario el retiro de la iniciativa de reforma energética y a la discusión de la reforma del Estado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Un acuerdo, un pacto concertación como suponemos, exigiría retirar elementos que obviamente conducen a la polarización política.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Uno es el tema de la energía, que está a punto, muy cerca de darse el dictamen, que podría enfrentar por sí mismo a las fuerzas políticas", dijo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A un día de que el PRD firmara un comunicado conjunto con PAN y PRI, Muñoz Ledo señaló que en una reunión realizada la víspera, el FAP acordó una posición común sobre los atentados de Morelia, la

He showed us two built telescopes to search for extrasolar planets.  Each is 0.5 meters in diameter, robotized and cost 1 million dollars to build.  They are doing science, are used for public reach purposes and other scientific project (other than the main purpose).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in Mexico, our institute directors, have been trying to build a new telescope since the early 90's.  They've been reaching for huge project that cost (at least the last one) 200 million dollars.  And one after the other (four until today) have cancelled due to the lack of funds (and lack of political goodwill).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open you eyes !  Important science can be done for 0.5% of the required price of your beloved behemoths.  Return to the reality of this country and to the needs of your scientists.  Either do small with your own available funds or think big internationally and out of this country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-3932209833988867850?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/3932209833988867850/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=3932209833988867850&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3932209833988867850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3932209833988867850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/09/aspiring-mediocrity.html' title='...aspiring mediocrity...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2859027245_475e679fdf_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1605038391955132752</id><published>2008-09-16T09:05:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T09:24:14.355-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='16'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='penalty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='patrias'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='narco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='morelia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='festivities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='15'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ataque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='death'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorista'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='september'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muerte'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pena'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='septiembre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fiestas'/><title type='text'>...death penalty NOW...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2859041623/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3146/2859041623_45dff7becc.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2859041623/"&gt;He's mine&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Mexico celebrates its Independence Day on the 15th and 16th of September.

You want to know how good education is in Mexico?  How professionally prepared public-school teachers are?&lt;br /&gt;They are a blast !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of the week, teachers from the state of Morelos (just south of Mexico City) came to protest in the capital.  They closed big and important avenues, they even closed the toll-way to Cuernavaca (Morelos' capital and main turist destination for capital residents).  In a phrase: they made the city a living hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What were they asking for?&lt;br /&gt;A better salary? No.&lt;br /&gt;Updating courses to give better lessons? Of course not.&lt;br /&gt;For their educational opinion to be heard? No.&lt;br /&gt;Better schools, opportunities for children and books? No.&lt;br /&gt;More vacations and less working hours?  Strangely not.&lt;br /&gt;A new car every day, full medical insurance, a house? No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEY WERE ASKING FOR THE ABILITY TO INHERIT OR SELL THEIR PLACE WHEN THEY RETIRE !!!&lt;br /&gt;OMG WTF?&lt;br /&gt;That is surely an excellent idea to get better teachers and better students.  To get someone without the credentials or education to forcefully become a teacher and educate eager students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The complete weight of law should be applied to this group (blocking federal routes is a federal offense).&lt;br /&gt;If the government grants them just a tiny bit of what they are asking for, education is doomed (and that government must be toppled quickly).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents should organize and start giving courses by themselves or hiring private teachers.  That would give the idiotic educators a very good scare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-3641059116457220131?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/3641059116457220131/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=3641059116457220131&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3641059116457220131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3641059116457220131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/09/education.html' title='...education...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3066/2840196436_460c993d85_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1128491450642823793</id><published>2008-09-11T13:19:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T16:03:11.563-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ensemble studio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vespri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='opera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nixon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='age of empires'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vivaldi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='record'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vergine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='china'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='microsoft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adams'/><title type='text'>...tidbits...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2822525926/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3075/2822525926_6ae9ac5e8f.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2822525926/"&gt;Berlin&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; 1&lt;br /&gt;Sacred christian music usually has the great sin of being too sacred.  It can be dull and uneventful (e.g. Arvo Pärt, Messiaen, Mozart).  Vivaldi does not save himself from criticism, he does the same.  But fortunately we have Naïve records to help out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They shaped what would have been a mass using Vivaldi's music for psalms and religious services.  The result is astounding: beautiful to hear, vigorous, spiritually elevating.   Look for the "Vespri per l'Assunzione di Maria Vergine" double disc and amaze yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;I've recently purchased the opera "Nixon in China" from american composer John Adams.  I had extracts before, but they do not have musical coherence.  Everything comes united under the whole opera, which has one of the stupidest librettos in history, with beautiful music and interesting arias &amp;amp; passages.  (I mean, who cares about Nixon during his trip to China?).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  white-space: pre; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TcOAMmY8yY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TcOAMmY8yY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that the whole "Age of Empires" games (together with "Age of Mythology") will never be again?

Mexican papers and news, tell something but never dwell too much on the news; even though Mexican Paralympic athletes are a thousand times better and more competitive than our mediocre and lame Olympic delegation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo's main page, for example, makes absolutely no remark on the games whatsoever.  And they had the medal count on the top of everything when the Olympics were on their way (together with the old trick of using a country's position to one's taste: either # of gold medals first or # of total medals first; whichever gave the U.S. an advantage).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am prouder of our Paralympic athletes than our other sporting shame.  I can just imagine the pathetic funding they get compared to our other delegation, and against all odds they manage to get far better results.  Godspeed my friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-8250894593055279061?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/8250894593055279061/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=8250894593055279061&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8250894593055279061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/8250894593055279061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/09/disgusted.html' title='...disgusted...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/2800632158_ea17ddde28_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1592259784786516602</id><published>2008-09-05T09:11:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T11:56:34.366-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minimalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='electronic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='electric'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videojuego'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minimalista'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='computer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='game'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videogame'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mac'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='counterpoint'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='steve'/><title type='text'>Spore</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2789970420/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2789970420_94d4ee68d8.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2789970420/"&gt;Seasonal Fruits&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Short thought:  In the universe that was the 20th century, few things were so carefully thought, conceived and rounded up as Steve Reich's "Electric Counterpoint".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohMynbDlb2c"&gt;Third Movement&lt;/a&gt; is the best, but you need to hear the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwxKtr5nF7Y"&gt;First Movement&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ArOY9VklY"&gt;Second Movement&lt;/a&gt; first to understand the ideas behind the Third.   Good bass is highly recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The much hyped about game SPORE is out.  Are you going to go with the trends or retrain yourself?   SPORE is fun evolution at is maximum expression, going from a single cell creation to galactic domination.  It took almost 6 years to finish and around 50 million dollars.  I know that I will buy it, sooner or later (Mexico has so little computer game retailers, and none for Mac; and Amazon's shipping, handling and export price is more than the game itself --- $65 dollars for S&amp;amp;H against $50 for the game).  Meanwhile a torrent version will have to do (and I hope it installs).  It might not be for everyone, but I sure hope that enough people buy allowing a better SPORE 2 version in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-1592259784786516602?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/1592259784786516602/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=1592259784786516602&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1592259784786516602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1592259784786516602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/09/spore.html' title='Spore'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2789970420_94d4ee68d8_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-6745402612028546654</id><published>2008-08-25T12:44:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T11:56:04.827-05:00</updated><title type='text'>...pathetic...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2781864281/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/2781864281_9e695c1c55.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2781864281/"&gt;Gothic Milan&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;Mario De Leo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; A concert I anticipated very much finally happened on Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program:&lt;br /&gt;- Waltz from the opera Eugene Oneguin (Tchaikovsky)&lt;br /&gt;- M-30 (Luis Herrera de la Fuente)&lt;br /&gt;- Concert for Violin and Orchestra (Philip Glass)&lt;br /&gt;- Symphony No. 6 (Tchaikovsky)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The waltz was very nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M-30 was a world-premiere by someone I guess was a former director of the Orchestra of Minería.  I know he is 92 years old, but the composition was absolutely horrendous.  It was so many wannabes and possibles.  His debut and goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, the orchestra brought a fantastic violin soloist for the Glass concerto.  He played sublimely and really made the second movement a heart-felt one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symphony No. 6 is really...mmm...pathetic.  Movements 1, 2 &amp;amp; 4 are really lacking any punch, coherence in some parts, monotonous.  Movement 3 is sublime and intelligent, and everybody started clapping at its end, LOL (they couldn't contain any longer).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad that the concert hall (Sala Nezahualcóyotl) was completely full.

Mis más honestas felicitaciones a los taekwandoines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aún así comparemos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index"&gt;Existe el medidor HDI (Human Development Index, Índice de Desarrollo Humano) que publica las Naciones Unidas regularmente&lt;/a&gt;.  Es un promedio de la expectativa de vida, alfabetismo, educación y estándares de vida en un país: una referencia de la calidad de vida.  El valor va de 1 (máximo) hasta 0, con una muestra de 177 países.&lt;br /&gt;México, en promedio, se encuentra en el lugar 52 (2007) con un valor de 0.829, considerado "alto".  Existen municipios en el país con niveles Africanos (0.300) y con niveles Europeos (0.850).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al mismo tiempo existe el ranking del Producto Neto Nacional o GDP (Gross Domestic Product), que una suma:&lt;br /&gt;GDP=consumo+inversión neta+gasto del gobierno+(exportación-importación)&lt;br /&gt;Lo que da una idea del poder económico del país y la calidad de vida que tiene su población.  México se encuentra en la posición 14 o 15 (dependiendo del realizador del ranking) de 179 (en el ranking del Fondo Monetario Internacional).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MÉXICO&lt;br /&gt;HGI = 0.829 (52/177 - alto)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 15/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas olimpicas = 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ETIOPÍA&lt;br /&gt;HDI = 0.406 (101/169 - bajo)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 96/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas olímpicas = 6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAMAICA&lt;br /&gt;HDI = 0.736 (101/177 - mediano)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 108/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas olímpicas = 10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KENIA&lt;br /&gt;HDI = 0.521 (148/177 - mediano)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 79/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas olímpicas = 13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TURQUÍA&lt;br /&gt;HDI = 0.775 (84/177 - mediano)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 17/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas olímpicas = 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ZIMBABWE&lt;br /&gt;HDI = 0.513 (151/177 - bajo)&lt;br /&gt;GDP = 166/179&lt;br /&gt;Medallas oímpicas = 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claramente se ve que el dinero invertido en México en el deporte, se escapa por la coladera.  Pero queda clarísimo, que países que invierten muchísimo menos en el deporte están obteniendo mejores resultados (Etiopía, Zimbabwe).  ¿Qué conclusión se saca de esto?  Los deportistas mexicanos sufren de una mediocridad terrible, esperando soluciones económicas en lugar de buscar superación por si solos.  Y esto, también habla muy mal del deporte mexicano.  Hasta que las autoridades decidan canalizar el dinero a donde debe llegar, y los deportistas a comportarse a la altura internacional, México no cosechará más que mediocres resultados en las olimpiadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Dejé fuera de la comparación a varios países con bajos HDI y GDP y alta cosecha de medallas por dos razones: son régimenes totalitarios donde perder conlleva otro significado (Cuba, Korea del Norte) ó son ex-repúblicas de la Unión Soviética, donde se estuvo en un régimen totalitario y la educación deportiva fue otra (Bielorusia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6073501963782672142?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6073501963782672142/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6073501963782672142&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6073501963782672142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6073501963782672142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/08/medallas.html' title='...medallas...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2772624044_b493f9cf1a_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-8278363197924698249</id><published>2008-08-22T23:44:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T23:46:12.445-05:00</updated><title type='text'>...pavo/turkey...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;(Music and video links are heavily included in this entry)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; How often is it that you have been really suprised in your life? Life changing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How frequently does a book really amaze you?&lt;br /&gt;How many times has a musical group or author astonished you?&lt;br /&gt;How many occasions has a movie blown you away?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite probably not more two or three dozen times for each category.  Consider how many days have gone by in your life.  I've just turned 28, that sums about 10225 days.  That amounts to about something amazing every 100 days or so, or every three months and a half.  Which turns out to be three and a half times a year.  That's not very often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, two of my three and a half times a year have happened in the past month.  I've already spoken about the novel "Hyperion" in my previous post.  Now, music has unleashed its charms too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been obsessed with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vivaldi"&gt;Antonio Vivaldi's&lt;/a&gt; music for months now.  Honestly, we all start with his &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Four Seasons&lt;/span&gt; and don't wander too far from there...or we can work our way through his rich catalogue (much of which has been re-discovered since the early 20th century).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to take the second path, which has proven to be an excellent choice, full of amazement, astonishment and awe.  My second step was tu purchase a 40 disc bargain set with most of his concertos.  I should really not surprise me, but Vivaldi wrote beautiful music, light-years away in maturity from what we usually hear.  &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Concerto in D major for Lute&lt;/span&gt; (or Mandolin); &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cello Concerto in G minor RV 417&lt;/span&gt;; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Concerto in G minor RV 156 &lt;/span&gt;are all perfect examples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly the concertos and symphonies went flying by.  What else could I listen to?  His sacred music, operas, cantatas?  I chose opera.  My god, was I blown away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motezuma"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Motezuma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a long-lost work that was recently discovered and recorded.  Highly recommended for it is full of beautiful arias and music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I became aware of the ambitious Vivaldi Edition project by French label &lt;a href="http://www.naive.fr/"&gt;Naïve&lt;/a&gt;.  They've partnered up with the library of the region of Peimonte in Italy, where a large part of Vivaldi's scores remain.  They will be recording 100 discs or so, in around 15 years time, many of these recordings have received raving reviews, and the critics were not joking (unfortunately for me Naïve will leave me in bankrupcy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then tried their version of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Griselda&lt;/span&gt;, which is beautifully sung and patched with one of the best arias ever: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLbE4oS72-I"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Agitata da due venti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which is usually associated with Cecilia Bartoli's interpretation.  Still Griselda did not impress me as much as &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Motezuma&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following I was presented with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito_Manlio"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tito Manlio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, an opera written in just 5 days filled with important arias and male singers (usually left as secondary characters in Vivaldi's work).  My all time favorite from Vivaldi: "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Se il cor guerriero&lt;/span&gt;" is found here (as well as in &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Motezuma&lt;/span&gt;) and "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Orribile lo scempio&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still haven't found &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_furioso_%28Vivaldi%29"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Orlando Furioso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which contains the orgasmic "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nel Profondo Cieco Mondo&lt;/span&gt;" (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnLM2QhCPPs"&gt;Fun Link 1&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skbYd-wYPZE"&gt;Link 2&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything was good until then.  And then I stumbled upon &lt;a href="http://www.vivaldi-atenaide.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Atenaide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  HOLY SHIT.  It's perfectly composed: light, stupendous and covered with delicious arias.  The tear producing "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cor Mio Che Prigion Sei&lt;/span&gt;".  I could find the decent recording by Naïve in Youtube, but the demented poster included a video which had nothing to do with the opera, nonetheless you should not miss it: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydMJ2hl6nZc"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cor Mio Che Prigion Sei&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naïve has recorded other of his operas and will continue doing so (Vivaldi wrote around 40) in the following years, I am sure to purchase most of them and I recommend you do so.  Who knows what others life-changing surprises he has in store for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="420" height="339"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/k1Sf5j7tPbe0k4iKJH"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/k1Sf5j7tPbe0k4iKJH" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="339" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/k1Sf5j7tPbe0k4iKJH"&gt;Atenaide: Vivaldi in Florence - opera recording sessions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;by &lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/naiveclassique"&gt;naiveclassique&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5926903222677637721?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5926903222677637721/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5926903222677637721&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5926903222677637721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5926903222677637721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/08/recurrence.html' title='...recurrence...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3189/2731294343_d1b065f1db_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-4189198387807269469</id><published>2008-08-11T16:49:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-11T16:54:59.337-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beijing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fuegos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='olimpiadas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='computadora'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mediocre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artificales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='generado'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='computer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='olympics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cheap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fireworks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='falso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='generated'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='china'/><title type='text'>Cheap &amp; Fake</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2731294673/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2731294673_20bdb9aa46.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2731294673/"&gt;Modern Berlin&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Is it only me or was the opening of the Beijing Olympics really mediocre and cheap?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must admit I didn't see it all, thank God.  But what I did see was a mix aiming toward mediocracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lit drums at the beginning were amazing if, and only if, the lights were triggered only by the drumming of the participants.  But we'll never know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extraordinarily spectacular and creative were the firework footsteps that "walked" their way to the stadium and all the surrounding fireworks through the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elevating led-created olympic circles was about 15 years late to be spectacular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moving paper scroll with dancers painting was really crappy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soldiers were boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boats created by humans (of which I only saw photographs) was completely unimaginative (ask Barcelona how to do it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I missed the rest, but I saw some pictures.  I mean... a globe in the arena is as cliché as a fat lady singing opera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I returned to the transmission when the olympic torch arrived at the stadium.  Yes the athlete "skipping" through the air around the stadium was exotic, but nothing extraordinary.  People have been flying though theaters in harnesses since the late 19th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, I was awed by a single thing: the footsteps and fireworks.  It now results that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;what we saw &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2534499/Beijing-Olympic-2008-opening-ceremony-giant-firework-footprints-faked.html"&gt;was fake.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);   font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);   font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  That's such a cheap cheap trick, and demeaning for the whole mediocre ceremony.

Those who are important to me showed up (quite a few really)...with some notable exceptions.  Long lost friends showed up and that really made my night.  What really pissed me off was a pretentious, ill-mannered, deceptive, hypocritical human being --- but that my friends is for some other blog entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was a late-starter for literature.  Yes, my basic schooling had tons of literature courses (national and international), unhealthily bending our backs with carrying seven-hundred or so pages books.  But I didn't start "reading" until I was around 15 (senior junior high school).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember the first easy-reading (idiotizing) I did.  "Como Agua para Chocolate" (Like Water for Chocolate) &amp;amp; "Juventud en Extasis" (Youth in Extasis).  I doesn't matter now, they were necessary evils to the present-day wonders I have come to find.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must admit, that I rarely go beyond the science - fiction / fiction realm.  For me writing on reality and historical events is too enslaving to let imagination run rampant.  And because my life is time-bounded, my brain would like to get the most of far-away places, impossible dreams and novel creatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not until around the age of 18 that I realized something of monumental importance: in this world, there are two types of books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first type leaves me nothing other than random entertainment.  It can be as limiting amusing as a strange looking turd on the street: fun for a few seconds, but a forgettable piece of shit nonetheless.  Oh, I can mention so many: "Jupiter" by Ben Bova, "Cradle" by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee, "Venus Prime" by Paul Preuss, "Dune: House Harkonnen" by Brian Herbert &amp;amp; Kevin Anderson, and I will never forget "The Engines of God" by Jack McDevitt --- among so many others (funny how you can't forget the names of such terrible writing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second type has the much-critized ability to make me reach for the pencil or pen and start underlining and sketching on its pages.  There are four types of marks:&lt;br /&gt;a) A circle around the page number followed by a important, thought-provoking phrase I have underlined in the text.  The circle lets me find the page again quickly.&lt;br /&gt;b) A tick mark next to the circle around the page number.  Pointing out  a basic part of the plot --- so I can quickly skip to the important parts when I need to remember something about the book as the years go by (and my memory with it).&lt;br /&gt;c) A tick mark next to a double circle around the page number.  The mesmerizing apogee of the book (very few have these).&lt;br /&gt;d) A smiling face next to a circle around the page number.  A humorous passage that will continue to be so even if read by itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has been more than enough for the past ten years.  I can index something important easily or discard the trash-can-grade-paper or so called "book".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hyperion", a novel by Dan Simmons, has been in my purchasing list for years.  It has always been sitting in the tiny science fiction section of the ever-present Sanborns stores in Mexico --- in Spanish.  I've been meaning to read it in English, for science fiction tends to loose some of its magic when translated due to the authors audacity to coin new future-world-words (or the translator's inhability to do so).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When short-visiting New York two weeks ago (and by short I mean 4 hours), I managed to find it and without hesitation bought it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a slow reader, for my experience has revealed that good books can't be read hastily.  They must be pondered upon, generate insight and provoke thought; and this can only be achieved digesting a few dozen pages at a time.  (Or in the worse case scenario, the book is so bad, that it's a real pain to keep on reading).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've gone through half the book now, and I'm amazed to find a third type of book exists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third type requires no underlining and is not trash-material.  It is a fully self-contained masterpiece, important from beginning to end (or at least up to where I have read).  I am astonished and awed at the writing and the plot.  My instinct is quite sure it will double circle the last pages, but that will be just a formality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will let you know how I felt like at the end, but for the meanwhile, I stand behind every word I just wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-2246606980856796645?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/2246606980856796645/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=2246606980856796645&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/2246606980856796645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/2246606980856796645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/08/third-type.html' title='...the third type...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3127/2731293085_a2d177888b_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-3262654301173342860</id><published>2008-08-05T08:28:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T08:32:14.319-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disney'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tr2n'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='secuela'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='próxima'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='upcoming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sequel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tron'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='película'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='macbook'/><title type='text'>TR2N</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2713175551/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3086/2713175551_bbda36fc82.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2713175551/"&gt;Italian Water&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; OMG !  Disney has set the wheels turning.  At ComicCon they showed a teaser trailer of TR2N, the hyped &amp;amp; 25-year-expected sequel of the movie TRON.  Try looking for it at &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/"&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt; while you can, it is well known that Disney is taking it down frequently (why???).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday I finally returned to my university to catch up on things, mainly the courses I will be taking this new semester.  Unfortunately, the number of optional courses available (which are the one I have to take this time) is meager: only 3 available of which I have to take 2.  What the hell is going on with this graduate program?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Macbook Pro is now in service due to the keyboard malfunction, so I am typing in my old G4 Powerbook, which also has its RAM memory module in service and is working with only 256 Mb.

The temporary exhibit, this time, is about the color of the skin in painting.&lt;br /&gt;As usual big names were announced together with the exhibition (Delaunay, Da Vinci, Kupka, etc).  But I am used to that: the Da Vinci could have probably been drawn in an 16th century napkin, the Kupka has nothing to do with his great period of oval abstraction and the Delaunay is...worthless.  Nonetheless, there are 4 - 5 interesting paintings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next off: the Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) to see a retrospective exposition of José Luis Cuevas, a Mexican artist.  I still think his sculpture is very nice, but his drawing ---my god--- is as stale and monotonous as can get.  Everything is drawn in the same fashion for the past 40 years.  And to make things worse, the man is a full blown narcissist who makes ad nauseam self-portraits of himself.  Oh well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To finish the day I finally went to see "Batman: The Dark Knight".  A really good movie really (with very few flaws).  A fantastic performance by Heath Ledger.  A very dark film.  Somehow I still miss part of the bon-vivant, art-loving, food-connoisseur that the Joker was in the first Batman film.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-3447775902479304568?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/3447775902479304568/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=3447775902479304568&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3447775902479304568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3447775902479304568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/08/and-some-more.html' title='...and some more...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3178/2713175537_c909f10241_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-5868308198188936336</id><published>2008-08-03T10:21:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-03T10:30:15.989-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='precisionism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexican'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='calder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hellboy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='museo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='macos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='textedit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='huitlacoche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolores'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='precisionismo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alexander'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='10.5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='museum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='olmedo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexicana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>...hell...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2713175531/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2713175531_8025d26b1f.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2713175531/"&gt;Liquid Crystal&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Saturday I had some catching up to do in Mexico City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, to the &lt;a href="http://www.museodoloresolmedo.org.mx/"&gt;Dolores Olmedo Museum&lt;/a&gt; to see an exhibition on United State's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precisionism"&gt;precisionism&lt;/a&gt;, including several works by Alexander Calder (who is not a precisionist...hmm).  The showing was very small, but worth it.  It's open until early-october.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, a rendezvous with Mexican food (yum) in downtown Tlalpan.  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huitlacoche"&gt;Huitlacoche&lt;/a&gt; raviolis (well, that's not really entirely from my country, but who cares?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, to catch up on movies: Hellboy 2.  I must admit that I did not like it as much as the original (which is full of robust characters, black humor and fun).  Nonetheless, the film is full of interesting new characters and beefy on incredible images and design mastery.  Thank you Mr. del Toro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;P.S.  For all of you Apple users, (10.5 in particular): have you ever read the text on the TextEdit application?  You'll find a motivational letter --- quite corny really.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5868308198188936336?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5868308198188936336/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5868308198188936336&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5868308198188936336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5868308198188936336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/08/hell.html' title='...hell...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2713175531_8025d26b1f_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1874087229018775489</id><published>2008-08-01T09:39:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T09:39:55.824-05:00</updated><title type='text'>...no computer...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2698695844/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/2698695844_632b5b17f7.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2698695844/"&gt;Colorful Town&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	Starting today, I am staying without a computer for a short while.  My relatively new (4 months) Macbook Pro has been having keyboard problems ever since it was shipped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will certainly be a difficult time, since I am used to spending 8 - 12 hours a day in front of my tech gadgets...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I will have the fantastic book of "Hyperion" to keep me entertained for the following days.  I really recommend it to anyone interested in science fiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, but no without its importance, a new four legged hairy being lives in my apartment.

I kept saying goodbye to people for about 48 straight hours, as they continued to leave our hotel(s).  At Milan airport my stomach was behaving badly.  All flights were delayed before takeoffs and landings...making the trip a heavier burden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least I got an 11 hour stay-over in NYC.  I managed to get into mid-town Manhattan for about 4 hours and walk most of 5th Avenue and surrounding areas (St. Patricks, Rockefeller Center, Chrysler Building, Empire State, MoMA, Salomon Guggenheim Museum, Central Park, Apple Store in 5th, Grand Central Station, The Met, Haydn Museum, etcetera).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I barely got any sleep from saturday to monday morning, so in Mexico I slept as much as I could, but I am still having problems with the time zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality is such a big slap in the face, it will leave an eternal scar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-5740575519903399611?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/5740575519903399611/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=5740575519903399611&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5740575519903399611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/5740575519903399611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-miss.html' title='...I miss...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/2698676514_99a3f6cabe_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-7074390428958545146</id><published>2008-07-24T05:08:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T05:08:09.101-05:00</updated><title type='text'>23/07/08</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2694662541/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3007/2694662541_2d279098c7.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2694662541/"&gt;Modern Red&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	23/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este día fuimos a la playa en la tarde, el sol estaba rico y el agua helada.  Literalmente no sentía uno los pies al meterlos al lago, aún así, nos dimos un rápido chapuzón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después subimos tres (Susana, Cristiano y yo) al castillo de Varenna.  (Tuvimos la tarde libre de actividades de la escuela).  El castillo es chiquitito, pero tiene una excelente vista en su torre.  También existían escudos, espadas y cuchillos medievales con los cuales jugamos un rato.&lt;br /&gt;En los jardines del castillo existen aves de rapiña (amarrados, desafortunadamente).  En particular un halcón del cual obtuve una sensacional foto y un hermosísimo buho de granero europeo...un pequeño champiñón volador (jajajaja), tan pachoncito y bonito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bajamos de nuevo al pueblo, acompañado por dos más del curso, a comer nuestra "cena" especial en el hotel: pizza (quattro stagionni).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El bar de siempre estaba atascado debido a una celebración de motociclistas, moda y música que ahí se llevaba a cabo (posiblemente lo único interesante que pasa en este pueblo).  Fuimos a otro bar hyper-aburrido, pero pasadas las horas pudimos ir al de siempre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-7074390428958545146?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/7074390428958545146/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=7074390428958545146&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7074390428958545146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7074390428958545146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/230708.html' title='23/07/08'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3007/2694662541_2d279098c7_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-3786506787759344403</id><published>2008-07-24T05:07:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T05:07:30.445-05:00</updated><title type='text'>21/07/08</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2694634773/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/2694634773_3b9da6d2d4.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2694634773/"&gt;Romantic Evening&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	21/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy ha sido un día bastante aburrido.

Es un pueblo lleno de tienditas en calles angostas que van sobre el monte.  Verdaderamente pintoresco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De ahí cruzamos a Cernobbio, que fue completamente un pueblo muerto.  Caminamos por la ribiera hasta llegar a una villa con jardines elegantes, seguimos caminando a través de entradas de hoteles lujosos hasta llegar a Tremezzo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahí volvimos a tomar el ferry hacia Lenno, un pueblito muy simpático donde nos sentamos a tomar un café (oh si) y una selección de quesos (muy buenos todos por cierto).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De ahí regresamos a Bellagio (ya en un grupo mucho más reducido, eramos 4).  Estuvimos un rato entre las tiendas y la costa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomamos rumbo hacia Menaggio, que se encuentra enfrente de Varenna. Y ahí fue donde el diluvio nos agarró.  Justo en la plaza central se cayó el cielo y nosotros teníamos que llegar al último ferry de regreso a Varenna en 15 minutos y a medio kilómetro de distancia.  TODO SE MOJÓ, mi mochila estaba empapada (incluso mi ropa interior acabó mojada, jejejeje)...el agua salía de las coladeras, un caos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empapados en el ferry llegamos a Varenna y después fuimos al bar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-1736096917217371642?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/1736096917217371642/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=1736096917217371642&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1736096917217371642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1736096917217371642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/200708.html' title='20/07/08'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2688660974_be96ae96a8_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-6505046539932540431</id><published>2008-07-21T07:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-21T07:44:45.726-05:00</updated><title type='text'>19/07/08</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2687821637/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3068/2687821637_d4f9fb8fda.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2687821637/"&gt;Colorful Stairs&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	19/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuestro único fin de semana aquí.&lt;br /&gt;Después de que la oficina de la escuela nos presentara con una plétora de actividades posibles, casi todos decidieron ir a Milán (Suiza está muy lejos y muy caro, todo lo demás suena aburrido...creo que estamos un poco hartos de permanecer en un pueblo tan chico).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un grupo grande partió a las 11 de la mañana, llegamos a medio día a la ciudad y tomamos el metro hacia el centro, donde nos encontraríamos con el grupo que salió antes.  La plaza central de la ciudad es muy bonita, la catedral en particular remata de forma extraordinariamente gótica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esperamos al otro grupo cerca de media hora, no llegaron, así que entramos a la catedral.  Verdaderamente hermosa por dentro (pero creo que prefiero la de Praga).  Tomé unas fotos bastante creativas de los vitrales.  Al salir, por haberme tardado tanto tomando fotos ya no encontré a mi grupo.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entonces crucé la plaza al museo de arte contemporáneo (cosa buena no haber encontrado a nadie, no creo que hubiesen gustado ir).  Existía una exposición de Francis Bacon.  Honestamente no me gusta, pero entré de todas maneras (7€).  Entendí muchísimo del artista, y ha conquistado mi beneplácito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después fui a otra sala del museo, donde también me cobraron 7€ por unas HORROROSAS esculturas neo-clásicas italianas.  Al saber que existían dos salas más cada una al mismo precio, los mandé mucho a la chingada... (en Alemania 4 museos gigantescos, pináculos de la cultura, me costaron juntos 7.50€).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después pasée por el centro (Scala, el Catello Sforzesco, la bolsa de valores y las calles de tiendas).  En verdad tengo que admitir que es una ciudad muy aburrida.

Era un filete de pescado relleno de pan, perejil, etc, etc, que estaba verdaderamente bueno (a pesar de mis múltiples dudas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En algún momento (posiblemente dos) mencioné que el 18 era mi cumpleaños, así que se corrió el rumor y el grupo de la escuela decidió festejarme desde la media noche del 18.  Así que fuimos de nuevo al bar al lado del lago, incluso se reunió el otro grupo de alumnos (aunque en una sección contigua).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fue verdaderamente divertido, a las 00 abrieron botellas de vino espumoso y nos dieron a quienes quedamos (17).  En verdad fue un gesto muy lindo, estoy conmovido y enormemente agradecido.  El grupo COOL CORE (broma de cúmulos) ha quedado perfectamente definido (2 israelís, 2 franceses, 1 irlandesa, 1 eslovaco, 3 italianos, 1 americano, myself --- in/out 1 mexicana, 1 argentina, 1 española, 1 koreana), en verdad un grupo divertido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos fuimos hasta que nos corrieron a la 1:30 del bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-3632320572356414417?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/3632320572356414417/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=3632320572356414417&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3632320572356414417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/3632320572356414417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/170708.html' title='170708'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2675981995_710f15ca92_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-1526015562177574831</id><published>2008-07-17T03:55:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T03:56:14.734-05:00</updated><title type='text'>160708</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2675981991/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2675981991_87d8a736a3.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2675981991/"&gt;Geometrical Decadence&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; 16/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De nuevo cursos con los mismo expositores...unos uff, otros yuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuvimos la foto de grupo.&lt;br /&gt;También dio conferencia uno de los organizadores (Raphaeli), un verdadero hígado de señor, que además da pésimas exposiciones...  Que bueno que organiza mejor de lo que presenta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de la comida, fuimos muy confiados a la playa.&lt;br /&gt;JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA.&lt;br /&gt;Digo, yo se que las playas en Europa son rocozas, pero existe un límite.&lt;br /&gt;Esta es literalmente un gran balcón con grava, donde te cobran las sombrillas y sillas (así que nos acostamos en la grava).  La entrada al lago es una rampa donde seguramente guardan lanchas, además está lleno de algas y restos de madera. Y el agua está HELADA para nuestros estándares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aún así, con todo y todo, ahí nos fuimos a meter todos los principales mencionados anteriormente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media hora estuvimos nadando, salimos a broncearnos y de nuevo a nadar.  Después a bañarnos y a regresar a los cursos de la tarde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la noche regresamos al bar al lado del lago, donde había noche de Bossa Nova.  El trio tocaba decentemente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supongo que hemos tomado muchísimo porque el dueño nos recibió con brazos abiertos, aún cuando su restaurante estaba casi completamente lleno de turistas.  Incluso movió a unas viejitas en una mesa a otra, para podernos hacer espacio; además nos trajo botellas gratis de Asti (vino blanco espumoso de por acá) y botanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora, tengo que admitir que la grappa aquí está verdaderamente deliciosa, suave y maderosa (barricate), es lo que pido a diario (dos al menos).  Terminamos cerca de la 1:30 de nuevo...jajaja, considerando que todos los días me he estado despertando entre las 5 y las 7, eh...mis ojeras deben estar por los suelos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No importa, estoy listo para el dia siguiente de conferencias, las buenas en verdad tienen toda mi atención.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-1526015562177574831?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/1526015562177574831/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=1526015562177574831&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1526015562177574831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/1526015562177574831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/160708.html' title='160708'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2675981991_87d8a736a3_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-6709753815099126212</id><published>2008-07-17T03:54:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T03:57:55.546-05:00</updated><title type='text'>150708</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2675981987/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3045/2675981987_b809731276.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2675981987/"&gt;Protecting Venice&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; 15/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El primer día de clases estuvimos viendo como conectarnos a la conexión de internet que nos ofrecen y conociendo a los exposidores.  Tuvimos pláticas con Sarazin, Bohringer y Norman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El primero es definitivamente el mejor, sencillo, directo y claro.  El segundo es Boring-ger...uff, sin comentarios.  El tercero puede ser bastante indigesto, a veces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empezamos a las 9 y tomamos un descanso a las 11.  A las 11:30 regresamos hasta las 12:30.  De ahí vamos a comer hasta la 1:30 y después tenemos libre hasta las 5.  De 5 a 7 hay otra sesión y terminamos (y así todos los días).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La comida en el hotel está decente, todo lo paga la escuela, pero si pides vino o algo más de tomar además de agua, lo tienes que pagar tu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la noche hubo una fiesta de bienvenida en otro hotel del pueblo (para tener 800 habitantes tiene como 10 hoteles).  Muy nice, vino espumoso, entradas, en un balcón iluminado por velas y la luna.  Pero ya entrada la noche lo nice se fue diluyendo...y el alcohol entró a laborar.  Cuando nos corrieron (incluyendo a los investigadores aún presentes) a las 12, decidimos ir al bar al lado del lago hasta como la 1:30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy durmiendo poco y tomando mucho (I MEAN, MUUUCHO)...afortundamente es un lugar pequeño, tranquilo, seguro y rodeado de personas muy agradables.  Se que por lo regular no tomo tanto, pero ha resultado ser la mejor forma de socializar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora, sobre los demás alumnos, han resultado ser top-notch al igual que en el Vaticano (habrá que ir a más escuelas).  En particular destacan: las españolas, los israelís (Elinor y Adi), el americano (Sam), los italianos (Stefania y Cristiano) y extrañamente los fraceses (Gael y Damian) ---peor aún, los dos son de Toulouse y conocen perfectamente a la gente con la que estuve interactuando ahí, así que tenemos mucho de qué platicar.  Con mención honorable se encuentran la chica de India (Rutta), la Argentina (Ana), la española (Inés) y varios cuyos nombres no recuerdo (somos más de 30).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-6709753815099126212?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/6709753815099126212/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=6709753815099126212&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6709753815099126212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/6709753815099126212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/150708.html' title='150708'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3045/2675981987_b809731276_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-882350795354892223</id><published>2008-07-17T03:53:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T03:53:29.676-05:00</updated><title type='text'>140708</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt;	&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2670547791/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3193/2670547791_0cf6604116.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2670547791/"&gt;Venice 2&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;	14/07/08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me desperté, afortunadamente afuera del bidet.&lt;br /&gt;Salí lo antes posible del hotel y me dirigí al centro (de nuevo teniendo que hacer cambios tram - bus).&lt;br /&gt;En la estación central de tren tuve que esperar una hora y media para el tren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conforme nos acercábamos a Varenna, el paisaje se volvía más y mal espectacular.  En el climax se paró el tren, estabamos ahí.&lt;br /&gt;Cuatro alumnos bajamos del mismo vehículo: un americano, una mexicana, una irlandesa.  Nos estabamos esperando por parte de la escuela con una camioneta para llevarnos a nuestros hoteles (a 300 m de distancia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi me tocó compartir habitación con el americano (Sam Skillman).&lt;br /&gt;El hotel está mejor que el de la Escuela del Vaticano: es más amplio, pero no tiene vista al lago Como.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como a las chicas las mandaron a otro hotel (no a todas, solo las dos que llegaron con nosotros), nos fuimos os dos a comer al lado del lago.  Una sopa de verduras muy buena y una ensalada con atún.  Después recorrimos el pueblo, bastante encantador y pequeño, con un pabellón que recorre la costa del lago.  Llegamos a la Villa Monastero, varias cazonas rodeadas de hermosos jardines, nos registramos y nos dieron nuestro kit de bienvenida: una mochila, pluma, block de notas, libro de regalos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salimos de nuevo a caminar por el pueblo y después cenamos en el hotel (lugar donde tendremos todas las comidas, desayunos, cenas).  En la cena conocimos a la mitad de los alumnos.  Son cuatro hoteles en total que nos están albergando a todos; del hotel más cercano a nosotros tienen que venir a comer y cenar en el nuestro (y así en los otros dos hoteles).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya habían hecho planes para conocernos todos en la noche, así que nos fuimos a un bar a tomar unas cervezas (afortunadamente alemanas) y conocernos mejor.  Estuvo divertido.  Después partimos de ese bar y nos fuimos a otro a las orillas del lago (creo que los únicos dos que existen en el pueblo).  Ahí estuvimos como hasta las 12 de la noche y regresamos a dormir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece que va a estar muy bueno esto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-882350795354892223?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/882350795354892223/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=882350795354892223&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/882350795354892223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/882350795354892223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/07/140708.html' title='140708'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3193/2670547791_0cf6604116_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-8673539768712039153</id><published>2008-07-16T10:40:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-16T10:40:46.084-05:00</updated><title type='text'>130708</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Amaneció lloviendo bastante fuerte en Praga.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Mi check-out del hotel era a las 11 horas y el vuelo a las 17:50.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;A pesar de haber podido (supongo) dejar las maletas en el hotel, como me habían dicho que llegar al aeropuerto era medio caótico, decidí no arriesgarme y estar ahí temprano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Así dejé el hotel a las 10:30, tomé el metro y después un autobus perfectamente marcado al aeropuerto y ahí estuve en media hora.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Entonces, desgraciadamente, tenía que esperar 6 horas para el vuelo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;No hay NADA que ver en el aeropuerto de Praga, entonces me hice loco durante 4 horas, hasta que abrieron el check-in.  (No sin antes haber comid Mc Donald's, que es lo único que hay ahí).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De ahí pasé seguridad, vi las pocas tiendas que hay y me senté en la sala de espera.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Primero, nos cambiaron la sala.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Segundo, el vuelo salió como 20 minutos atrasado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Tercero, fue un viaje muy turbulento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Cuarto, estuvimos dando vueltas sobre Milán, ya que la lluvia abundante no permitía el aterrizaje.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Quinto, las maletas tardaron una hora en llegar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Sexto, las ventanillas de los autobuses al centro de Milán estaban cerradas en la terminal 2.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Así que tomé el autobus que une las dos terminales y busqué un taquilla de autobus (ya que el tren me dejaba en una estación que no venía en mis mapas).  Afortunadamente todavía había venta de boletos, tome el autobus (todo esto fue una media hora más perdida).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El bus paró en la terminal 2 (duh) y de ahí a la ciudad, ahora si, sin tráfico.  Llegué a la estación central, pero no había billeterías abiertas para boletos del tranvía que tenía que tomar (según las direcciones del hotel).  Entonces bajé a la estación de metro, compré en una máquina automática y regresé a esperar el tranvía.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ninguna estación sonaba a calles que debería de pasar en mi trayecto, así que le pregunté a la única persona que se encontraba ahí también y llegaba de esta forma.  Me dijo que si, era alguien un poquito más joven que yo, pero que había construcción y por lo tanto tenía que hacer dos trasbordos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;¡¡Esto a las 11 de la noche!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Afortunadamente él iba a un lugar cercano, entonces me acompañó en los transbordos tranvía - autobús - tranvía.  Me dejó muy cerca y pude llegar al hotel mojado.  (Todo esto con lluvia).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El cuarto estaba en el 4to piso de 4, con escaleras (y yo con sus encarguitos...malditos).  Cuando entré al cuarto (que reservé por internet con regadera, sin WC), dios.  Me acordé del hotel Octaviano que nos rentó el Vaticano en el 2005...nada más que este cuarto no tenía la celebre bacinica abajo de la cama :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El bidet, literalmente, está a un lado de la cama...poquito más y duermo sobre él. CHAAAAAAAAAAAALE.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Bendito que mi próxima parada en Milán, después de la escuela, será en otro hotel de 3 estrellas (no de 1).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;En la mañana comí el desayuno en el hotel (ya viene incluído) y partí al centro.  Ahí visité 3 iglesias, todas en estilo barroco checo, bastante interesante, pero no del todo de mi gusto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Crucé el puente, caminé hacia el castillo.  Fue una subida pesada, estaba haciendo mucho calor y mucha humedad.  Ya arriba, antes de entrar al castillo, pasé por las plazas cercanas (muy bonitas por cierto).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ya adentro del castillo, me dirigí a la catedral de St. Vita.  Una joya gótica que me ha dejado perplejo.  Tiene unos maravillosos vitrales y es verdaderamente imponente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Después compré mi boleto y me hice el estudiante de 26 años (si me quieren ver la cara en todos lados con su tipo de cambio y precios, yo puedo hacer lo mismo).  Sin embargo, reculé cuando me preguntaron mi edad, pero aún así me dieron el descuento (no pensaba pagar 300 pesos por 6 museos, en ningún país de Europa que he ido cobran tanto).  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 1.- El palacio real antiguo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 2.- La historia del castillo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Con una excelente museografía muestra como hubo asentamientos en la colina desde hace 3500 años (no les creo) hasta el presente y como se fueron añadiendo estructuras.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De ahí crucé a la antigüa basílica, considerado también un museo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 3.- Basílica de San Jorge&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Así me gustan las iglesias, conservadas, restauradas y artísticamente iluminadas.  Muy recomendable ver este sitio del siglo X y XI.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 4.- Galería Nacional&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Una colección de arte checo del siglo XIX, desde hermosos paisajes hasta ridículos supuestos neo-clásicos.  Un museo bastante grandecito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Después los letreros te llevan a el pasaje dorado, una callecita con pequeñas casitas de todos colores, repleta de turistas y cada casita con una tienda donde te quieren vender alguna baratija.  Me recuerda al bazar de las granjas de árboles de navidad en Amecameca.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De ahí fui al penúltimo museo (me salté el último de fotografía, tenía otras cosas en mente).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 5.- Torre de pólvora&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ah sí, después de ese último éxito salí del castillo, paseé por sus jardines y bajé de nuevo para cruzar el puente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Me dirigí al centro, alllamado Museo Mucha (Muja) mantenido por la fundación del mismo nombre.  Sonaba serio, pero ya ahí se trataba de puras litografías de la obra de Alphonse Mucha (un maestro del poster nouveau), poca obra original.  Que pena.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De ahí, y después de haberlo encontrado en el mapa, fui al palacio Veletrzní, un museo marcado en mi guía como del siglo XX y contemporáneo... a ver si es cierto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Para empezar el palacio no es tal, es un edificio enorme moderno restaurado.  Lo que si cabe notar es que tiene de las colecciones más completas que yo haya visto de arte y es el museo moderno/contemporáneo que he visto, es ENORME (digamos casi del tamaño del museo nacional de antropología de México, los dos pisos).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Son 7 1/2 pisos de pura exposición (el medio es porque el sótano está medio utilizado).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Los últimos dos pisos son contemporáneos, con muestras temporales...nada muy de mi agrado.  El cuarto piso está lleno de arte del siglo XX por autores checos, entre ellos Kupka, y como pieza central su obra en rojo y azul con óvalos........WOW !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El tercer piso contiene arte moderno de autores internacionales y ahí hay de todo: Picasso, Gaugin, Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Rodin, Fontana, Kokoska, Klimt, Klee, Matta, Ernst, etc.  Poco de cada quien, pero piezas importantes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El segundo piso está dedicado a más artistas contemporáneos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El primer piso tiene una exposición temporal de la trienal de arte de Praga, donde el tema es "movimiento".  Es una mezcla de obras nuevas y obras pop-art (en particular de un maestro desconocido para mi: Biasi).  Magnifico y lleno de imaginación (en particular una pieza israelí digital con monitos-numeritos brincando y una escultura magnética).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El primer piso formaba parte de la trienal, con algunos videoproyectos interesantes, unas creaciones digitales interesantes y una instalación con audífonos y cables de la cual después les contaré. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El sótano tenía videoproyectos, algunos muy tétricos, perfectos en este ambiente de pura oscuridad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Verdaderamente un lugar SUPER recomendable dentro de la ciudad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Regresé a la ciudad para comer, ahora un lugar escogido sin razón particular.  El primer plato, una crema de espárragos y rollitos de salmón ahumado (por un precio ridículamente bajo), una verdadera delicia.  El segundo plato, otro gulash, lo pedí con knokedli (o como se escriba, un platillo que hacía mi abuela).  Chistoso, en los menús de aquí viene el peso de los platillos.  Cuando me trajeron el goulash, con carne más dudosa que ayer, no vi el knokedli, pero si un pan semejante, pero yo había pedido  la orden adicional que decía "albónigas" o "dumplings", esto estaba cortado como pan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Me acabé el plato y le señalé al mesero en el menú los knokedli y le puse una cara de "¿y dónde están?", con lo cual se frustró.  Me mandó a otra mesera que me dijo que "ya, con goulash", que si quería más.   A pues, si eso era la orden no eran 160 gramos, ni mucho menos "albóndigas" de la masa de trigo...si eso era knokedli, yo soy Alphonse Mucha, como ven...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Les digo que aquí se pasan de listos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Todo esto lo acompañé con una cerveza clara, y al final un strudel de manzana con helado de vainilla.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Al final no me cobraron el knokedli, pero como me molesté.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Mi urgencia el día de hoy era ir a los museos de la apropiadamente llamada "isla de los museos".  Entonces me dirigí a la estación más cercana, de nuevo por la puerta de Brandenburgo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De paso, entré al Reichstag, o casa  de parlamento.  Un edificio neo-clásico imponente donde sube uno a la terraza de la azotea y al domo de vidrio que ahí está construído.  El domo estaba cerrado, pero la vista desde la terraza es hermosa.  El Reichstag está rodeado de parques y de edificios ultra-modernos que lo dejan a uno con la boca abierta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;La zona greco-romana está bien (ya he visto gran parte en Londres, Nápoles y Roma), pero tiene piezas extraordinarias y en perfecto estado de conservación.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Lo interesante es la parte egipcia.  Nada de exposiciones baratas con reproducciones como en el Museo de Antropología en México.  Aquí está ---OH SI--- el auténtico busto de Nefertiti.  Acompañada de muchísimas piezas hermosas, entre ellas (mis favoritos) los hipopótamos de cerámica azul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;LA JOYA DE LA CORONA.  Mi deseo más anhelado en este viaje y el momento más extraordinario en Berlín: el muro de Ishtar.  Ignoro todavía, las descripciones parecen dar una vuelta olímpica al tema, si es artificial, reconstruída de partes originales u original.  Independientemente, es F-A-N-T-Á-S-T-I-C-A.  Solía marcar el camino al edificio del rey en Babilonia.  Contruída de ladrillos esmaltados de azul, amarillo y blanco; decorada con leones, dragones y gacelas; es una auténtica fantasía.  Sin embargo, y por desgracia, se prohiben las fotografías en todas las salas mesopotámicas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;La colección es rica en códigos (en particular uno completo de Hammurabi, o como se escriba) y escritos, pero pobre en arte.  No importa, Ishtar lo perdona todo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Segunda pieza de importancia: la reconstrucción (en el atrio central) de la entrada de un templo griego, con estatuas y todo.  Verdadermante hecho para  imponerse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Tercera pieza de importancia: columnatas completas de la entrada del templo de Atenea, gigantescas piezas de decenas de metros de altura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;La colección greco-romana ya me tenía un poco harto.  No así, la colección de arte islámico (en particular de Siria), es una joya.  Hermosísimas piezas de joyería y metales preciosos de la edad media del medio oriente.  Tome varias fotos ya que en verdad es un arte que me fascina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;De todo esto, me ENAMORÉ del dragon de la puerta de Ishtar.  Aunque supongo que debería imponer y generar respeto, a mi me pareción un personaje altamente adorable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Por ahí de la segunda sala de veinte me fastidié, aún así lo vi todo todo todo, los tres pisos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Es una iglesia - museo, por eso lo contabilizo aquí.  Cobran un dineral para entrar y adentro no es tanta cosa.  Si el domo es muy alto y bonito, y el órgano enorme (jeje), pero nada más.  Es en puro estilo neo-clásico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El último museo de la isla, dedicado al arte del siglo XIX (alemán y extranjero).  Si bien lo clásico no es muy de mi agrado, hay unas piezas interesantes, y uno que otro Cezanne, Monet, Manet, Gaugin, Van Gogh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Regresé a la puerta de Brandenburgo y me dirigí al memorial del Holocausto.  En verdad es un memorial muy sobrio, muy bonito, pero reminiscente de algo terrible.  Son puros bloques de concreto con caminos entre sí (ya verán las fotos).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Me dirigí por metro al otro lado del "centro" de Berlín al museo Bröhan (de arte decó, nouveau y funcionalista).  Para quien me conoce, sabe bien que este museo era una necesidad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;En camino al museo Bröhan me topé con otro, el Berggruen, al cual entré.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Segundo, tiene una enorme colección de Picasso (no que sea yo fan, pero vale la pena ver).  Muchas obras conocidas de su periodo cubista, azul, etc.  El tercer piso estaba repleto de Giacometti y Picasso.  Finalmente, y para ganarme por completo, el tercero piso estaba dedicado a Paul Klee.  ¡Cómo gocé ese piso!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Bueno, ahora si al Bröhan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;A pesar de ser un tema prometedor (arte decó, nouveau y funcionalista), alguien debería decirle a los alemanes que su art nouveau no fue más que una broma a comparación del art nouveau francés y checo.  Lo que ellos podían considerar digno de un museo, en otro lado estaría listo para tirarse a la basura debido a su mal gusto universal.  La cantidad de art decó era mínima y la de funcionalismo completamente risoria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Únicamente de interés están dos platos colados de Malevich que están arrumbados en una vitrina mal iluminada.  :(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Regresé al mismo restaurante de ayer y pedí dos platillos diferentes.  El primero fue una sopa de tomate (si, ya que, guácalas el tomate; pero necesitaba potasio y es un ingrediente principal por aquí) y queso provolone, bastante buena---si no es que un poco fuerte.  Segundo, escalopas de cerdo en salsa gitana (jitomate con especias) y papas a la francesa.  Debo admitir que son de las mejores papas que he comido en mi vida: sin sal, perfectamente crujientes y deliciosas.  Medio litro de cerveza oscura y un struddel de manzana con salsa de vainilla, para gozarse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Durante la comida me percaté que existían dos museos más de mi interés en la ciudad: el primero el Museo de Arte Natural (que cuenta con el esqueleto completo de dinosaurio más grande del mundo) y el Museo de Arte Moderno.  El primero cerraba a las 17, el segundo (por ser jueves) cerraba a las 22.  Así que sin pensarlo e ignorando mis pies, me lanzé de nuevo al centro de la ciudad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;# 8.- Neue Nationalgalerie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Con las simples esculturas de fuera, el museo prometía muchísimo.  Sin embargo, al entrar me enteré que la colección permanente estaba cerrada.  Casi todo el museo estaba en obra de remodelación...  Pero entré a la exposición temporal: retrospectiva de fotografía de Hiroshi Sugimoto (en su casa...).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Bueno, el caso es que fue una exposición extraordinaria que me enseñó mucho y que lástima que no había ciertas personas para acompañarme y que fueran testigos que mi pseudo-fotografía-wannabe va por el camino y con las ideas correctas y contemporáneas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;En dicha plaza pude comprar el boleto de autobus al aeropuerto Marco Polo, sin ningún problema.  En el bus estuve hablando con una pareja de americanos que venían con sus dos hijas.  Por supuesto que me quejé de su país y sus reglas de seguridad en el aeropuerto (jajajaja).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Al llegar al aeropuerto esperé un hora, inició el check-in y pasé a las salas, donde la espera de dos horas no se me hizo larga.  Debido a que es una aerolínea de bajo costo, los asientos no se asignan y son para quien apañe primero.  Aún así, logró tocarme en ventanilla.  El vuelo fue completamente ineventual.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Llegué a Berlin, a un aeropuerto bastante lejano del centro de la ciudad.  Pero pronto descubrí que el sistema de metro - ferrocarril es verdaderamente sencillo de usar.  Sin embargo, pronto vendrían los problemas.  Por otro lado, los alemanes han mostrado ser muy educados y cordiales.  Rumbo al centro de la ciudad, una persona de la tercera edad me ha de haber visto con una cara de susto mirando los mapas del metro.  Me preguntó a donde iba y le mostré en mi mapita.  Me dijo que iba bien en ese tren y me regaló un mapa a calor de las diferentes líneas.  Sin embargo, en el primer transbordo de línea, a las tres estaciones se paró el tren y todos se salieron.  He de haber puesto una cara de terror absoluto, ya que un alemán con la mirada de me dijo: "Hasta aquí llegamos desafortunadamente".  Sigo sin entender qué pasó.  Por lo tanto, tuve que dar una VUELTOTOTOTOTA en diferentes líneas de metro para llegar cerca a mi hotel.  Salí de la estación y a unas cuantas cuadras se encontraba mi hospedaje.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;En la recepción me atendieron muy bien, en inglés-germánico (ah, como me recuerda a mi abuela hablando inglés).  Al ver la habitación me sentí en una película de espías de la guerra fría, donde yo estaba hospedándome del lado de los malos.  No se si así sean todos los cuartos de hotel, pero este (a pesar de estar limpio y cómodo), me da esa impresión.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ya eran las 5 de la tarde, pero aún así sali a dar "una vueltecita"...si como no.  Llegué en metro a la puerta de Brandenburgo, caminé por la avenida hasta llegar a las zonas de museuos.  I-M-P-R-E-S-I-O-N-A-N-T-E.  Amo esta ciudad.  Es limpia, moderna, fría y distante.  Una ciudad de México sin tanto edificio alto y con buena planeación.  De pasada, y sin recordar su existencia, me topé con el Museo Guggenheim Berlin y entré.  Es chiquitito, con una sola sala de exhibiciones (ya llevo 2/5 a nivel mundial).  Mañana regresaré a los museos para verlos todos :).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Decidí recorrer más, a pesar del dolor de mis triples tamales y llegué (también sin saberlo) a Check Point Charlie.  Como ahorita no tengo internet no les puedo contar toda la historia de este lugar, búsquenlo por ahí.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Regresé a mi primer punto de partida en la zona central y tomé rumba a mi hotel.  Saliendo de la estación más cercana a mi hospedaje me puse a ver los barecitos que están cercanos a la glorieta misma de la estación de subterráneo.  Me gustó uno y entré.  No estaba barato (ni caro), pero qué delicia.  Veamos: medio litro de cerveza pilsner, deliciosa (algo tiene que le falta a las mexicanas); una sopa gouash exquisita y una ...mmm...como se llamaba...bueno, era como una pizza, super delgadita con queso y sin tomate, cubierta de carne de res y cebolla con condimento picoso.  Muy rica la verdad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Primero fue al Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, pero encontró que abría a las 11.  Entonces fue a dar una vuelta para seguir buscando las malditos encargos.  NADA.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Cruzó el Ponte della Academia, se dirigió al museo Peggy Guggenheim para enterarse que los martes no abría.  Posteriormente fue a la iglesia al lado del museo y tomó muchas fotos, después buscó algo de desayunar pero nada le apetecía.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Así fue como siguió buscando los encargos, de nuevo sin éxito.  Se dirigió al hotel, descansó un rato y partió al primer museo.  Ahí volvió a vivir los increíbles cuadros que anteriormente había visto años atrás.  -"En verdad tienen una colección envidiable."- pensó.  Y de nuevo visitó el segundo piso y su museo de arte asiático, esto último en 5 minutos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Salió del museo y se dirigió a la Plaza de San Marco.  Se formó para ingresar a la Basílica homónima, esta vez con mayor tiempo que años atrás.  Con calma pudo apreciar lo que puede ser una de las iglesias más elaboradas y exorbitantes del mundo.  Atestada de detalle tanto en el techo, como en las paredes y el piso.  Verdaderamente asombroso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Prosiguió a Porto Nuovo para tomar el vaporetto a Murano.  Posiblemente ahí podía encontrar los fucking encargos.  Pagó la friolera de 16€ para el viaje ida y vuelta y prosiguió.  Efectivamente, los encargos se encontraban ahí de una u otra forma limitada.  Recorrió toda la calle principal 3 - 4 veces y compró lo que pudo.  Tomó el vaporetto de regreso con los pies deshechos.  Ya no los aguantaba.  De aquí en adelante nos referiremos a ellos como "tamales".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ya en Venezia buscó la pizza, una deliciosa (no le crean mucho, tenía demasiada hambre para ser objetivo) combinación de alcachofas y hongos.  Y fue al hotel a comerla y descanzar los pies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Durmió un rato esprando estar más fresco en la noche y poder tomar fotos.  Se despertó y camino hasta San Marcos (compró un helado) y de ahí hasta el parque de la feria del Bienal.  De ahí recorrió y recorrió hasta que se hartó esperando el atardecer.  En estas latitudes y época del año el Sol se mete hasta las 21 horas, maldita sea.  No obstante, esperó a que casi se metiera.  Exhausto y con tamales doblemente grandes, caminó buscando un agua barata, cosa que no encontró y tuvo que conformarse con pagar el precio doblemente caro.  LLego a San Marcos y esperó el anochecer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

Recogí mi equipaje (el cual si tardó un poco) y salí a donde decía "conexiones".  Mientras caminaba por ese pasillo, una enorme fila de gringos estaba formada en un counter cuya fila entraba de nuevo a la zona de migración.  Al percatarme que la fila era para re-registrar el equipaje con la aerolínea para el siguiente trayecto, me regresé al final de la línea...momento en el que me paró un policía.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Al llegar a la re-documentación me dijo la señorita (una de esas negras mmmmhhhmmmm [véase Family Guy]) que a donde iba y a donde estaba ya documentado mi equipaje.  Yo dije que de MEX - MTY - JFK (Nueva York) - MXP (Milán).  Pero yo solo vi MX, entonces le dije:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Más tarde logré pasar al escaneo de rayos X.  Adios maleta, computadora, cinturón, electronicos y zapatos.  Todo a la máquina.  Pero al salir de la banda de la misma, mis zapatos se atoraron con ella, dejándolos rayados y doblados.  Bueno, pues ya que, no quería hacer más escenas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Esperé 4 horas la salida de Nueva York a Milán.  Afortunadamente el avión también iba medio vacío así que me tocó solo, con posibilidad de estirarme, moverme y eruptar a mi elección (y vaya que lo necesité).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Sin embargo, estuvimos una hora y cuarto en tierra en NYC, debido a que cambiaron la pista de despegue, tuvimos que trasladarnos hasta ella y esperar a la cola de 10 aviones para despegar antes que nosotros.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Las azafatas, para ser un vuelo internacional a Italia, unas verdaderas taradas.  No hablaban ni papa de italiano, al igual que el capitán y copiloto.  Un sobrecargo tenía que hacer las traducciones, y con ello, memorizarse todas los datos inútiles que acababa de vociferar el capitán.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Afortunadamente pude dormir cerca de medio vuelo.  Pero eso sí, ha sido de los vuelos más turbulentos de mi vida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;En Milán las cosas iniciaron indolarmente.  Migración se pasa en 5 minutos, y las maletas tardaron relativamente poco en llegar.  Después procedí a buscar el Malpensa Express, tren que me llevaría al centro de Milan en 40 minutos.  Y ahí empezaron los problemas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Los trabajadores del Express habían decidido hacer una huelga todo ese día y por lo tanto tuve que buscar otra forma para llegar a la ciudad.  Afortunadamente existen autobuses que lo llevan a uno, y a menor precio.  Cabe mencionar, que varios pasajeros sufrieron mi suerte y por lo tanto el bus iba completamente lleno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El tráfico para entrar a Milán fue terrible, tardamos cerca de hora y veinte minutos en llegar a la estación central de tren.  La misma está en reparaciones, por lo tanto gran parte está cerrada.  Con buena suerte encontré un boleto para el siguiente tren a Venecia, lo compré y lo tomé.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Pasé 3 horas en el tren, cambiando de compañeros de cabina conforme salían y entraban en las estaciones.  Los más curiosos fueron una pareja americana inter-racial (jajaja, once you go black...).  Yo creo que pensaron que no hablaba inglés por que empezaron:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;-"Are you excited."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;-"Oh yes, I am very excited."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;-"We should get a room NOW."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Y empezaron los cuchicheos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Para su mala suerte, lanzaron una pregunta en inglés al aire un poco después, con una cara de frustración en si contestaba yo o no.  Pues efectivamente señores les contesté y su cara de vergüenza era de esperarse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ya en Venecia, me percaté que el problema del transporte no era exclusivo de Milán, el vaporetto (taxi acuático de la ciudad) también estaba en huelga y existían muy pocas corridas.  Por lo tanto, su servidor, tomó la idiótica (y única posible) decisión de caminar a su hotel con maleta y todo a cerca de 32 - 33 grados.  Ignoro verdaderamente cómo logré localizar el hotel, ha de existir un dios que todo lo ve, pero eso sí, mi estado de llegada fue empapado de sudor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El cuarto está bastante bien para una sola persona y el baño completo es un milagro de la nanotecnología.  Me bañé y salí a la ciudad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;No me había tocado así la vez pasada, pero Venecia estaba lleno de canales...de gente.  Hordas y hordas de turistas por todos lados.  La plaza de San Marcos era un verdadero río de personas.  En ese momento, justamente, maldije los encargos que me hicieron.  LOS ODIO.  Estuve por el centro turístico y calles transitadas buscando y buscando, y simplemente no hallaba N-A-D-A.  Las tiendas estaban llenas de baratijas y chucherías.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Así que me harté y decidí caminar por callecitas alejadas.  Tan así que estuve en sitios donde no se paraba una sola alma, y si así lo hacía, era de un veneciano.  Cayó tremenda tormenta y me tuve que refugiar en un bajo puente.  Posteriormente busqué comida y encontré una deliciosa pizza margarita (simple) y unas aceitunas rellenas de sardina y anchoas, cubiertas de queso y pan molido ---OH MY GOD !!!--- que delicia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Ya más tranquilo paseé por la plaza de San Marcos, caminé por el parque de la bienal de arte e incluso llegué a la isla donde viven los venezianos.  Es tranquila y con edificios más bonitos (y en mejor estado) que los del centro.  Ahí fue donde encontré un enorme gato (y miren que he visto gatos grandes en mi vida).  Me acerqué a tocarlo, me ignoró hasta que sintió mi mano; y se me quedó viendo con una mirada aterradora:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;-"Quién osa tocar...eh...alguna parte que no ubico de mi enorme cuerpo."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Caminé de regreso al hotel y encontré que hay 3 tipos de turistas:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;1) El turista italiano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;2) El turista americano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;3) El turista.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;El primero sabe mejor donde comer, el segundo se queda únicamente en la zona Rialto - San Marcos y el tercero está por todos lados y por lo general es el que entra a museos e iglesias.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Finalmente, caminé tanto...y con la poquito que subí de peso...los pantalones lograron rozarme toda la entre-pierna.  Ya en el hotel encontré que hasta había sangrado (si Lucía, hasta que se me hizo).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; "&gt;Regresé a dormirme temprano porque estaba yo muy cansado.  Hasta mañana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="smartPaste" contenteditable="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;

   &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; Tal y como lo había escrito en la última entrada.  Llamaba mucho la atención la presentación de un video editado por la misma Secretaría de Seguridad Pública con relación a las múltiples muertes en una discoteca.  Y efectivamente...ya aparecieron las versiones completas y las partes omitidas originalmente muestran a los policías amenazando, tapando las salidas y con armas largas.  Que llegue hasta donde tenga que llegar y que ruede la cabeza más grande que tenga que hacerlo.  No tienen perdón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por otro lado, recomiendo AMPLIAMENTE ir a ver la película PERSÉPOLIS.  Una verdadera joya de la narrativa y la animación.

Trece muertos, entre ellos varios menores de edad y dos policías, fueron el saldo de la asfixia provocada por la estampida de los asistentes al salir.&lt;br /&gt;El jefe de gobierno local se dice indignado por los sucesos.  Rápido fue en destituir a la autoridad encargada del operativo, pero también rápido en señalar como responsable al dueno del local.  &lt;br /&gt;Efectivamente, el dueño tiene gran parte de la culpa: el local no contaba con los permisos, las salidas de evacuación legales, espacios limitados y varias irregularidades.&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, extraña aún mas, que si las autoridades sabían de las irregularidades del local, llevaran a cabo un operativo tan mal coordinado y con fatales consecuencias.  Todavía peor, la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública llevó videocámaras al operativo, grabando desde su entrada hasta el funesto desenlace.  Es notorio, que al liberar las cintas de video, se muestra su ingreso y el desenlace, pero omitidas están todas las escenas de desalojo, justamente donde murieron varias personas y los testigos culpan a la policía de bloquear las salidas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sr. Ebrard, usted se queja que se viola la constitución con poner el petróleo en manos de extranjeros.  Se queja de que lo censuran a usted y a su jefe patito los medios.  AQUÍ ESTAMOS ANTE UNA SITUACIÓN DE CENSURA Y VIOLACIÓN DE DERECHOS por parte de sus subordinados que resultó en la muerte de personas.  No queremos excusas, queremos resultados y castigos ejemplares.  Que caigan cabezas, pero no de chivos expiatorios, si no del más alto nivel responsable, no me importa hasta donde lleguemos.  Póngase los pantalones que dice tener y aplique la ley.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

cansado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Después a estudiar un poco para el examen de Astronomía Extragaláctica y Cosmología.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Después comida del Día de Padre en casa de mis padres.  Unas ricas carnes asadas y un buen vino.  En particular y extrañamente, mi padre estaba de muy buen humor.  Entonces la pasamos bien.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sin embargo.  La encarnación de Sr. Gato &gt;&gt; Doña Furgencia (alias "Vaca") (véase la foto de la bestia peluda arriba), la nueva inquilina de casa de mis padres, decidió seguir los pasos del gato tarado Lloyd.  Pero por chiquita y tontita no pudo quedarse en en el filo del barandal y cayó 3 pisos.  Ignorando la situación la llamábamos pero no venía, hasta que la encontramos tirada entre las plantas del jardín.  Se rompió el fémur  :'(  .  Afortunadamente nuestra veterinaria de confianza estaba en su consultorio y la opera mañana lunes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ya no

Y no en cualquier mujer, mi transformación generó una jovencita multi-orgásmica.  La Orquesta de la UNAM (llamémosla hoy la Multi - O) logró emocionarme continuamente con su magnífica interpretación de Las Danzas Polovetsianas de Borodin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la sala de conciertos Nezahualcoyotl nos obligaron a ver la obra musical clásica más taquillera en México: Carmina Burana.  Permítanme deslindarme de tal desliz, yo no fui por esa obra (pero admito que me encantan algunos pasajes), yo asistí por las Danzas Polovetsianas de Borodin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autorízenme realizar mi actividad favorita: criticar y opinar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los coros presentes (de Marina, de la Escuela Nacional de Música, etc), auténticamente supremos.  La orquesta, en esta obra, de regular a buena.  Y los solistas (una soprano, un tenor y un barítono)...MALOS.  El barítono, en particular, PÉSIMO.  Sin fuerza, sin vigor, digamos que le quedó el papel muy grande.  Lo peor del asunto reside en el programa de la noche, donde menciona que el señor lleva 500 intepretaciones de la obra.  ¡ Imagínense, 500 Carmina Burana echadas a perder !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasada la obra una agradable cena con unos amigos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El domingo le di cuerda a mi impulsivo y reciente amor por las óperas de Vivaldi, comprando en esta ocasión "Griselda".  No la he podido escuchar toda, pero ya les comentaré en el futuro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) protestaron en la calles de esta ciudad contra la Alianza por la Calidad de la Educación, que obliga a someter a concurso las nuevas plazas de los trabajadores del magisterio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El grupo de más de 300 docentes, también integrantes del Movimiento de Bases Magisteriales de Tlaxcala (MBMT), portaron pancartas en las que acusaron corrupción de la lideresa magisterial Elba Esther Gordillo y el Gobierno federal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En entrevista, Refugio Flores Muñoz, secretario general del MBMT, expuso que es un derecho de los maestros hacer propuestas sobre quién deben ocupar su plaza, una vez que los trabajadores se retiren, sin que ello signifique una "herencia". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Alianza por la Calidad Educativa, signada entre el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE) y el Gobierno federal, establece que todas las plazas de nuevo ingreso, incluidas las de director o supervisor deberán asignarse mediante un examen de oposición. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al respecto, Flores Muñoz comentó que es prioridad para los docentes protestar contra esta medida que les impide dejar una base del magisterio a familiares. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nosotros tenemos como prioridad que ya no se permita, de acuerdo a la Alianza que hicieron, que no se nos permita proponer, no heredar", acotó.&lt;/texto&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="texto" class="artexto" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

A Brasil no se le desapareció, ni a Venezuela, y ellos (puedo jurar) tampoco producen toda la gasolina que utilizan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Quién tiene la culpa?&lt;br /&gt;El PAN, el gobierno de Fox no hizo NADA por PEMEX.&lt;br /&gt;Calderón y Carstens se han hecho de la vista gorda.&lt;br /&gt;El PRI, por tener a PEMEX durante décadas como su banco personal, nunca re-invirtiendo las billonadas que le exprimían.&lt;br /&gt;El PRD, por su posición miope ante el petróleo, su dios azteca que les cumple a través de sacrificios del pueblo mexicano.&lt;br /&gt;Los mexicanos, por dejados y callados.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www2.milenio.com/node/24385"&gt;LA NOTA ORIGINAL.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-7435952857373085976?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/7435952857373085976/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=7435952857373085976&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7435952857373085976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/7435952857373085976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/05/holy-ghost.html' title='Holy Ghost'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2026/2530380923_25871fffd3_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-338510551020612314</id><published>2008-05-27T08:18:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T08:19:26.486-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ceviche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='comida'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tepotzotlán'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indiana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jones'/><title type='text'>...el fin...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2516300530/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2072/2516300530_cc89e307ed.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2516300530/"&gt;Return to Yagul&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; ...el fin de semana fue peculiar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sábado empezamos con una salida a comer ceviche...bastante regular por cierto, en un lugar llamado "La Lima" en la colonia Condesa.  Cuando abrió los precios eran accesibles y la comida buena, pero ha ido en severo deterioro y los precios en rápida alza (al menos 50% más). NO lo recomiendo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posteriormente a ver la nueva película de Indiana Jones, divertida pero mala y vacía...seguirá muy por atrás de la Última Cruzada y el Santo Grial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ese mismo día me regalaron al opera de Vivaldi &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=20379982&amp;amp;postID=338510551020612314"&gt;"Motezuma"&lt;/a&gt;, perdida durante 270 años (el libretto existía pero la partitura estaba desaparecida).  A pesar de sus 3 horas de duración es ligerita y con arias recomendables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El domingo hice una pequeña excursión a Tepotzotlán, a tomar fotos del convento jesuita y a comer unas deliciosas quesadillas en el mercado.  Pronto verán las fotografías por aquí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En casa de mis padres parece que finalmente ya adoptaron a un nuevo gato que les trajeron...desafortunadamente del mismo color que mi hermosisísimo Sr. Gato fallecido.  Sin embargo esta gata tiene una cara muy chistosa (siendo completamente blanca y negro) con una mancha negra justo en la barba.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20379982-338510551020612314?l=accrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/feeds/338510551020612314/comments/default' title='Comentarios de la entrada'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20379982&amp;postID=338510551020612314&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/338510551020612314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20379982/posts/default/338510551020612314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accrama.blogspot.com/2008/05/el-fin.html' title='...el fin...'/><author><name>MADW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06476430131650535115</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TDmOkodpZO8/Sc5BBWoeb_I/AAAAAAAAADk/bCmKX891H3g/S220/mario.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2072/2516300530_cc89e307ed_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379982.post-4077411387085686438</id><published>2008-05-23T08:34:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-23T08:34:58.217-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='felicidad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='happiness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='figmentum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='figment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amor'/><title type='text'>...figmentum...</title><content type='html'>&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }&lt;/style&gt;&lt;div class="flickr-frame"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2507921027/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3005/2507921027_cf5d7b4702.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class="flickr-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariodeleo/2507921027/"&gt;Roof at the Palace of Fine Arts&lt;/a&gt;, originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/mariodeleo/"&gt;accrama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="flickr-yourcomment"&gt; ¿Es el amor un figmentum de la imaginación?  ¿...un estímulo eléctrico en mi núcleo accumbens...?  ¿Se reduce a eso?

Así que de arriba a abajo durante la noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sábado a despertarse temprano para recoger el material de la observación astronómica, de ahí a San Ángel a comprar la vajilla buena de la casa, de ahí a un banquete en el Claustro de Sor Juana (delicioso pato), de ahí a ver el espectáculo FUERZA BRUTA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sobre FUERZA BRUTA.&lt;br /&gt;Es un espectáculo argentino de los mismos que hicieron "DE LA GUARDA" (corrijanme si estoy mal).  DE LA GUARDA, en mi opinión era un espectáculo altamente mediocre y extremadamente caro.  Los protagonistas se la pasaban volando sobre el público con arnés (who cares?). &lt;br /&gt;FUERZA BRUTA por otro lado es mucho más ingenioso, con una historia más concreta, con hermosas creaciones que se transforman en imágenes surrealistas.  Particularmente buenas son las escenas con las mujeres en agua.  Vale la pena verlo. (
