Wedding Response Card Wording In Spanish

More aNumber of IDF Bus

And that's the International Book Fair.

In the closing ceremony, in which the delegation of the English autonomous community of Castilla y Leon is fired and prepared the arrival of the next guest, the Federal Republic of Germany, someone apparently Herr Jürgen Boos, director of the Frankfurt Book Fair, announced that the Fair will celebrate its first 25 years in the next edition. I quote the statement : Juergen Boos

apologized for not speaking English and underlined the challenge that involves the fact that Germany is the first country that speaks a language derived from Latin. Also endorsed the commitment to contribute to the first quarter century of the Guadalajara Book Fair is celebrated with a high level.

lights at the Expo Guadalajara are to go out, act rather than signal the end marks the start of work next year, when it held the "silver anniversary" of the FIL in Guadalajara. [05/12/2010]

Boos said it appears that ( Wie Schade! , and that the Germans virtually created modern mathematics), but my opinion is that because people said the IDF and he was saying. If one stings a link to the statement, you can see a colorful header FIL promotes and German, with a small circle that says quite clear purple "25 years - FIL Guadalajara." The absurdity slipped to local media, such as Millennium Public or The Informant, whose editors removed the penalty very entitled their main notes on the closing of the IDF as "The IDF is already preparing its silver jubilee " and " Germany will celebrate the silver anniversary of the IDF ". Bravo. Leibniz, Euler , Gauss, Cantor and Gödel must be turning in their graves.

I already explained a little over four years is not the same have continuous periods of time discrete quantities fair. The first IDF was in 1987, which subtracted from 2011 gives 24, not 25, then then the IDF is turning 24, and the "silver anniversary" will be met in 2012, during the edition number 26. If someone comes to say that the IDF does not start when they open the doors of Expo Guadalajara, but much earlier with mounts and invitations and the budget and do not know what, that someone probably reviro celebrates his birthday anniversary by it leaves the womb, not in its conception or implantation in the endometrium or the appearance of your spinal cord, and do not see why the IDF has to be different.

One final note. Bodybuilders tend to be very sad and angry that no one knows or appreciates the culture (which in their minds is synonymous with "art" and sometimes "philosophy") and strive to remedy that situation. And I wonder what kind of civilization is this where it requires people who know about the Golden Age poetry or postmodern art objects, but no one requires literasnos (sic) who can tell ?

How Long To Boil Pre Cooked Shrimp

What Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel? Blasphemy

Pffft. That impressed in Arequipa.

And despite the very Vargas Llosa well aware that their prize is literature and not by political ideology, then we see the rights (they call themselves "liberals" and accept that they are, but liberalism is an ideology mostly right-wing , even though they sound like them rudely) say silly things like "[t] he Nobel Prize Vargas Llosa is great news [...] because in our countries, Vargas Llosa is not politically correct" ( Jorge Fernández Menéndez , Excelsior , 08/10 ), or that "represents our liberal tradition" (Christopher Domínguez Michael, Reform, 10/10), or "[i] n an environment where most of the intellectuals of the region gave up early on any kind of criticism of the Cuban process and its powerful leader, Mario Vargas Llosa was part of that small band who knew how to safeguard concepts like freedom of expression, pluralism, tolerance, human rights and democracy "( Ariel Gonzalez, Millennium , 09/10 ), that maybe they are true but are not relevant at all.

And across the street, we see the lefties whining because the Swedish Academy sold to Capital or Empire or Neoliberalism or as you say now (see the comments of the idiots in the note La Jornada , which is unreasonably Policy section): the same fetish to the Nobel, but in reverse. At least the Cuban dictatorship had the good taste to recognize that he deserves the award even though the man is a reactionary bourgeois, imperialist and oppressive enemy of the peoples of the world (La Jornada , 09/10). Again, maybe all this is true but has no relevance in the context of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

What Vargas Llosa's work was shaped by their political ideology, and transmitted? Sale: I respond that ideology affects only the content, not form, which is what produces the aesthetic feeling that all work art to produce. And that is what award in Stockholm, aesthetic feelings, no political convictions.

Anything else is non sequitur .

Week Blasphemy: Federici Antonio does not learn

Or maybe learn too well.

Last year, I published the story of advertising campaign Antonio Federici, a brand London gelati (ice cream, ice cream, butter, sorbet or whatever they are called in dialect), who starred in two models for making a priest and a nun in attitude romantic / erotic while holding a can of the goods advertised, that as this is an irresistible temptation. A dozen prudes saw the ads, angry and complained to the government. The government gave the reason for the prudish and ordered to remove the ads. It was a great scandal and Antonio Federici got lots of free publicity.

This year, Antonio Federici and Contrast Creative advertising agency repeated the trick, and they came out again. Just on the eve of the visit of His Holiness the Galactic Emperor Palpatine Pope Benedict XVI to the United Kingdom, the new ad released their ice cream: a photo of a model dressed as a nun in an advanced pregnancy, holding a pot of ice cream. Beside the snow, the phrase "immaculately conceived" ( "immaculately Conceived" ), a cannon conceptual pregnant nun with the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the "conception" (or manufacture) of gelatin , they want us to believe that so careful and thoughtful is "immaculate" and ice cream produce must be delicious.

Antonio Federici Ad Campaign - Originally uploaded by cityphotographer

This nun me more than last year. Less makeup is more natural, more "monastic." But I'm going on a tangent.

His campaign has another ad that has received less coverage, two priests, apparently in the act of kissing, while one holds a pot of snow and the other holding a spoon. The phrase now is a play on words that is conserved in English: "We believe in the saliva."

Antonio Federici Ad Campaign - Originally uploaded by cityphotographer

And to top it off, Antonio Federici change its motto to "ice cream is our religion." Honestly, that's a religion I can believe. The existence of the ice is clear beyond all dispute, which is much more than you can say about God, and the snows are richer than the hosts, so the rites should be better than snow communion. But I'm going on a tangent again.

Again, the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) opened a case after receiving an overwhelming and gigantic amount of ten complaints (ten complaints again!) for alleged insults to Christianity, especially Catholic variant. Again, Antonio Federici replied that the intention of the ad was clearly satirical and humorous. This time it became more intellectual in his defense and said the announcement also offered a critique of organized religion, their hypocrisy and their attitude to social issues (that or I believed it: who based their political views desserts ads ?), and the offended minority should not limit its right to display your ad to the public. And again, the ASA ruled the ad should not appear in its original form because it violated the advertising code of decency and that the announcement could cause serious offense to the "numerous" British Catholic readers (something like 8% of the population). And the announcement of the priests? It seems that the ASA is still under deliberation.

And again, Antonio Federici received free advertising in a variety of media at national and even international, at the same time as the victims of obscurantism and repression art and aesthetics, and sell a lot of ice cream. Profit! References

Do All Black Eyes Heal

"What you would like the gays and lesbians to adopt?" Octopus Paul

cavernal asked (sic) Juan Sandoval in Aguascalientes, when it declared its shining pearl of Marcelo Ebrard, head of the Federal District government, bribed ministers of the Supreme Court to declare constitutional reforms of the civil code that will allow City to marry and adopt children and that earned him a nice claim for moral damages.

answer: if I were an orphan, one of my options would be languishing in one of those creepy Catholic hospice run by nuns and sadistic bureaucratic mistake love God with hatred to children and where I run the risk that a cure deflowering me from the rectum so yes, they prefer to be adopted by a couple of fags.

At least, if the pair of gay abuse me, my chances of receiving justice are much better than if the abuser is the cure or the Mother Superior of a Catholic orphanage. Ebrard

for president!

probably not going to get anywhere, if ever a reproach withered, because this country screwed up the higher clergy is untouchable, but he appreciates and admires deeply Marcelo Ebrard has filed suit for moral damages against Sandoval. Either by real conviction or opportunism liberal (or a mixture of both), Ebrard gave a very important step on the road to the state and secular society that very few politicians in the left (or PRI) are willing to give. Mexico would be less wrong if more politicians dispense with such treatment as smooth and flattering hypocrite and unworthy of receiving these Yahoos gown.

(And all this, where is the waste of Streaky? Comment something about it, what is?)

Short Dresses With Bows



(end updates)

Suppose you have a large bowl, large, and decided to fill it with many, many octopuses, say n octopus, more or less as shown in the following drawing ugly:

(works best if you n tanks each with an octopus, but that picture was the easiest.)

Now, decides to train octopuses to open boxes. It is difficult because octopuses are pretty smart animals, but is laborious because many octopuses. Since octopuses trained, you decide to take two boxes at the aquarium. The boxes are the same throughout: the same size, weight, color, material and content. The only difference is that a decided hit the flag of Germany and the other the flag of Australia. Because they are virtually the same cabinet, octopuses have no apparent reason to choose one over the other, so we can assume that randomly chosen . Because check boxes, notes on paper or on a computer what to chose which box octopus, and arbitrarily decide that this means that the octopus is picking the winner of a soccer match between Germany and Australia made on 13 June this year in the South African port of Durban, as part of the Soccer World Cup 2010 FIFA.

As randomized, approximately half of the octopus, or n / 2 , choose the box with the German flag, and the rest (which amount is also close to half the octopus), choose the box with the Australian flag.

Since

analyzed the results, decide to keep the n / 2 octopus who chose the box "right." The other octopuses can put in a separate bowl, or cook, or donated to an aquarium. Then take out the two boxes. In the Australian case takes the flag and the flag of Serbia hits. Some days after, preferably before the Germany-Serbia game in Port Elizabeth on June 18, preparing the boxes and check the tank again, so that octopuses choose again, and again point you chose what octopus which box.

Again, the octopuses are picking at random, and again, about half of the octopuses, and now number close to n / 4 , choose the "right" the box with the Serbian flag. Disposes of approximately n / 4 octopus who chose "wrong" Serbia pull out box, take away the flag, hit the flag of Ghana, before 23 June when teams of Ghana and Germany play in Johannesburg returns to prepare and check the boxes to the tank. Same thing will happen, something like half of octopuses remaining, n / 8 , will choose the box "winner" with the German flag and the other, more or less n / a 8 , will choose the box "loser."

decided to repeat the procedure while the German team played in the World Cup. In the game against England, n / 16 octopus choose the German box and go to the next round. In the game against Argentina, n / 32 octopus choose the German box and go to the next round. In the game against Spain, n / 64 octopus, or whatever it is, something like 1.56% of the octopus with the start of the experiment, choose the English bank.

this will be seen that the octopus works by random as blind and inexorable. Our octopus is a highly processed form of divination by the selection of equally likely binary alternatives, whose simple and familiar example is flipping a coin and guess which side it falls. Thus, the 1.56% of all similar rounds of divination can be modeled in the same way (coins, dice, marbles of two colors in a bag, octopus choosing boxes) have obtained a similar performance.

(the method actually does not work, can not serve, because it has no way to "predict" a draw, which is a valid result for a game of soccer in the early stages of a tournament.)

An octopus belongs to that select 1.56% of molluscs soothsayers by chance live in the Aquarium Sea Life Oberhausen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. His name is Paul, he was put to "predict" results of matches involving the German as part of a publicity stunt and now you chose the correct box six times in a row it has become ridiculously famous. It seems that the octopus had already made a similar grace during Euro 2008, but was wrong in the final.

The newspaper came a Peruvian biologist says reveal the "secret" Octopus Paul: the animal chooses the flag with lighter colors. Forget it: Paul chose flag of Germany with all its bandota black instead of the flag of England, nearly white, and Argentina, not for nothing is "albiceleste." (Note to journalists: the next time you need a "scientific" explanation of bullshit, pull it out of someone who is aware of the bullshit in question.) However, the press reported that the octopus took one hour to choose a box for the match between Germany and Argentina. That suggests to me that the octopus Paul "choose" the boxes for yes, random, completely unrelated to the selection of Germany, the events in South Africa or the meaning caregivers give to their actions. It is a non-phenomenon, which has no cause and needs no explanation.

immediately obvious that the antics of the Sea Life Oberhausen has been a global success, after the World Cup and secure thousands of Germans and some other foreign travel to Oberhausen and pay to see Paul doing things octopus octopus or something. But I am not very clear how serious is taking the octopus Paul.

The German television news links made live to see the octopus Oberhausen Paul choose the English bank, a process described by some speakers of "drama." Some German fans, who do not distinguish between seer and sorcerer / caster, blame the poor octopus of English victory and threatens to cook. Fans from other countries were seduced by the octopus Paul, except that seem to take it more as a joke. Especially the English are about to appoint a national hero Paul octopus and some even ask for political asylum for the octopus. So they put a site where people can leave comments of admiration, hatred or their most pressing queries.

spokeswoman Sea Life Oberhausen, Tanja Munzig said not to be "a superstitious person, but [Paul] has had an incredible run of wins so far." There is an incredible streak. As I write this, Paul was right octopus six games, which makes it more likely that a multiple birth (1.2%). Paul that you will catch an octopus's eight games (1 chance in 256, or about 0.39%) is not unlikely that made more "everyday" like winning a lottery or neighborhood school (usually less than 1%), ischemic infarction (0.4%) or a plane crash (0.0004%). If we feel the opposite, it is because there are more raffles, hearts, and planes flying octopus guessing that matches. And of course, an octopus Paul Strikes six, seven or eight boxes in a row is just as likely to fail an octopus six, seven or eight boxes in a row. But octopuses are interesting failures.

However, I am open to the possibility Paul octopus that really can transcend time and space thanks to a method beyond our comprehension. In that case, the only logical explanation is that the octopus Paul is an emissary of the Great Cthulhu, preparing the glorious restoration of His government of cosmic terror. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu

R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
Cthulhu fhtagn! Cthulhu fhtagn!

One Nation Under Cthulhu
Cthulhu, alias Paul octopus, conquering humans

Be afraid, be very fear. And do not blaspheme against octopus Paul, or will be the last to be eaten. References

El Universal, "the great newspaper of Mexico", probably because it is an unwieldy behemoth (it is for its quality journalism, no doubt), it has everything anyone would want to know about the octopus Paul in notes of days 7 and 8 present. The next day the opinion was published biologist Alfredo Salazar, Lima.

Octopus Photo Paul is AP, and pulled the Millennium .

  • Updates [11/07] As well, the octopus Paul Strikes his last two games and became more improbable. I still maintain what I said before, much rarer things happen every day, and we all so fresh.
  • Fernando Frias offers more alternative explanations for octopus Paul: that the animal associated with either mussels boxes of red and yellow (like the German flag) or with the boxes on the right (mostly German). Both are plausible, and a test with zero-warm tones sounds interesting, but still pure chance would seem more parsimonious (and better explains the delay in the Germany - Argentina).

The Kermesse of the Absurd no. 2, and the circus moves

What a shame it took me almost a week to make the announcement of the second edition of the Kermesse of the Absurd, which took place on land outside the office of Kentucky Freud Chicken in My X-Rated Blog . La Kermesse, as announced earlier, had the theme of childhood and education, and the units are, like children, the most varied: from memories of earlier years to the existential angst of raising children, passing by literary exercises, education and forms of pseudoscience how not raise children. Kermes think this is a breakthrough because it shows what can be the first collaboration in the form of cartoon.

No date for the next Kermesse, which arise more or less spontaneously, but the next regular function of the Circus is the first Monday in June, Waking reason. More information ...

The Circus of the Absurd blog

For that, I finally decided that the circus of the absurd should have its own space and, starting this month, already own blog for all things circus. Well, the decision was almost from the beginning but only until recently rode the Circus blog. The blog is basically a copy of almost all the posts about the circus that has been published here. Announcements Circus still appear in the Court of Miracles , but all discussions bazaars, receiving hosts for future circuses, questions and comments are moved to new blog.

There are still some details, but the Circus of the Absurd blog and came into operation. There we see.

Thank You Welcome Bag Template

Gary Null: vitamin guru with hypervitaminosis

Gary Null is a guru alti celebrity in America. It is proclaimed as "the expert leader in health and nutrition in America." Armed with a doctorate from a university duckling, a radio program that has been passed for nearly 30 years, audiovisual programs, books, a product line and a chain of stores, Null promotes and sells almost every branch of medicine alti: its methods claim to be "natural" and "embraces the body, mind and spirit" and considers aging as a disease (for anti-aging guru , looks good bumpy) agrees with the views of AIDS denialists and anti-vaccination movement, promotes conspiracy theories about pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, and prescribes treatment almost every crazy in the world of alternative medicine for almost every disease view and future. These treatments

"natural" could not miss the supplements. Like the rest of orthomolecular altis and nutritionists in general, Null attributed an exaggerated importance to the role of vitamins in the prevention and cure of all diseases, and advocating megadoses of vitamins, amounts far above what a normal human being needs to live a life healthy. And like any self-respecting nutritional quack, Null sell bottles of vitamins labeled with your name.

seems that Gary Null is convinced of the effectiveness of their methods, so they usually consume their own products. One such product is a supplement of vitamin D (which is becoming the fashionable panacea) called Ultimate Power Meal. In late 2009, Null consumed a Power Meal coming from a item with a manufacturing defect, the supplement of yore had a thousand times more vitamin D than advertised, which was slightly higher than the recommended dose of vitamin D. So over a month, Power Meal Null took enough to meet the needs of vitamin D for a lifetime. The result was an overdose of vitamin D that caused kidney damage. There was a time when the continued stalling of vitamin D, true to his belief that the supplement would help you improve. Finally had to go with a real doctor, the kind that Null said that safeguard their own interests conspire against the monetary and health "natural", which he studied and detected high levels unlikely vitamin D. As he had no more to wait for your body to get rid of excess vitamin D, Null was subjected to a liquid fast. At the time of posting this, Gary Null improved in health but has not fully recovered. According to two letters in the press in late April, the demand for lawyers Null says "still occasionally urinating blood."

Following that incident, Null canceled work commitments, ordered the immediate withdrawal of defective item, consumers were warned, blaming the manufacturer of the whole thing broke up commercial and sued him for $ 10 million (M $ 12.6 M € 7.7 m). Many let him know that customers would no longer consume their products. It is reported that at least six consumers of Power Meal also had renal failure and were hospitalized. Who knows how he will go to your business: insurance Null forget the matter and will continue as usual.

My first reaction was schadenfreude and even I was tempted to put a Nelson. But then I felt sorry for Gary Null, because I think he was acting in good faith and I can not responsible for anything. After all, is so convinced of the goodness of its products that are eaten. But no such product, and knew or had means of knowing that the product had too much vitamin D. When he knew he had the decency to recognize that the item was defective and could be fatal, and off the market.

But one also begins to think in the alternative medicine industry in general, and many similar cases have already gone before, but not the guys whose pictures are on the bottle of supplements. In Mexico and has become relatively common for Cofepris post warnings and remove harmful supplements, but never goes higher. A similar event in the pharmaceutical industry (in the U.S., Mexico or almost anywhere) would have caused a scandal for weeks, and most just reason.

One reason for this is the huge difference in regulation between the biomedical industry and altis: pharmaceuticals, laboratories, hospitals and physicians are subject to a lot of legislation, standardization and supervision, and violations are severely punished (although violations are passed by more times higher than they should). In contrast, the alternative medicine industry has even the slightest self-regulation, much less strict legislation or a body that actively monitor their products, services and processes. The same lack of legislation that gives people like Null carte blanche to say whatever they want where they want without having to prove nothing or face legal consequences is the same as Null poison made its own fee. The iron that kills ...

In this story we learn two things:

  1. is beyond dispute that you need vitamins to live and be healthy. It is also true that most people above the food poverty line consume adequate amounts of most vitamins and do not need supplements. It is also true that vitamins are not panaceas and they have a very minor role in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases related to vitamin deficiencies. It is also true that one can consume too many vitamins and get very sick. As happened to Gary Null, nutritional guru and marketer of vitamins.
  2. Alternative medicine is not the exclusive concern of farmers humble little business or home. There is a whole industrial and commercial infrastructure closer to the pharmaceutical industry than it wants, but no one knows what happens in the industry because nobody alti altis requires to comply with anything, and none of us has a guarantee that the remedies "natural" and "healthy" actually are.

In short, if you need vitamins, better eat a balanced diet. Supplements are more risks than benefits, and cost much more. Sources

Mouth Still Sore 1 Week After Tooth Extraction

Story: The man with the light

Have you ever seen the little men at the pedestrian lights? Yes, those that are red and green ... Well, it turns out that one day, Pedro was about to cross the street, and one of them ...

Peter was
very attentive in the corner watching the traffic light to cross the street when suddenly it seemed that the man he made a gesture gorse.

"I think I ate a lot of chips and sat me wrong," thought Peter.

looked again and realized he had no visions, the top man was calling, and the tiny finger told him to come closer.

"the lights must be wrong," thought Peter, and intrigued came to see better. That was when the doll finally spoke:

"I'm very boring, do not want to talk a while?, Said the doll.

Peter opened his eyes as big as two eggs ...
"I can not believe! He talks! No, I know, she thought, someone is making a joke. "He looked everywhere but there was nobody there, just him and the man red traffic light.
-DVenga before the coming of the green Tell me something, Peter, "replied the red man.
- You really are talking to me? "Said Peter.
"Yes. Oh, I'm, I'm leaving, goodbye! , And flickered until it disappeared.

then lit the other, green, shouting to all pedestrians: - Go, go, pass, pass all! Come Quick! Hey! And you do not cross, Peter? Come quickly I'm going! I'm ready, bye! "Said the little green man, and disappeared.

Semáforo con hombrecito verde en pose gestual


Peter could not believe it. Of course, never paid much attention to the pedestrian lights. What would imagine that the comics he spoke!

- Vamos! Now is the time! We hope that you, Cross, Cross ... Well ... Time is running out! Crosses Quick! Adios! Me voy! "Said Green.

Everyone had crossed an orderly and a man looked at Peter as if asking what was not crossed. But Peter was so busy with the red man wanted to stay to talk some more.

- Eh! Are you still here? Well, now you can not cross because I came along, talk again, "said the red.

At that time, Peter saw a boy came walking in a hurry, not wanting to wait for the traffic light.

- Eyyyy! Stop! Cried the red doll, but the boy did not listen and jumped across the street.

You can not imagine the disaster that ensued! Several cars and came to not run over the boy, the first stopped suddenly and began to crash behind him and armed a mess!

- Ahhh! I've seen you! "Said the red doll Peter, as he disappeared, to give way to green.
- Oops! What a mess! "Said Green. Why not wait a little until I show up!

Autos chocando y hombrecito rojo del semáforo agarrándose la   cabeza


Peter saw the ambulances arrive, angry people, sad people, broken cars and fright in the face of the boy who never forget that day.

semaphore The little men continued to make their work appear, disappear and caring people. And though some still do not pay attention they deserve, they continue to work tirelessly for our security.

Really Small Weed Nugs

The Circus of the Absurd no. 25: Happy

The frog-looking woman walked down the aisle as fast as he allowed his complexion hideous frogs and their designer boots. Behind her was a gunman violent and vulgar-looking he was carrying several packages.

woman talking on a cell frog. Asked for a candidate in Veracruz, on the other in Oaxaca, for how to pay a deputy who had previously hindered their organization. The answers were not expected, it needed. Frustrated, finally hung up.

- Ugh! Misrule this country is a daunting task. Sometimes one needs to be distracted by chambitas close together as this, do not you, Pancho?

Pancho, such was the gunman, only responded with a deadpan "Yes, wormwood."

"That being said ... ah well, never mind. Room 101! Here we are. Others must be waiting.

Master opened the door and the other characters were there, sitting around a semicircular table in the center of a dimly lit room. The central chair was empty. Master went to the empty chair. Meanwhile, Pancho packages distributed among those present.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry you my tardiness, but was in a meeting with Felipe useless, and I imagine how it is. Thank you very much, Pancho, "he said while receiving the last packet of the gunman. You are dismissed. Stay out if you need it. Pancho

While he left the room muttering "yes, wormwood," Master went to the other attendees.

"As you know, we have been chosen from our various corporations and commissioned by the highest evaluation to the guerrilla operation coordinated by the official disinformation P. Packets containing the documents have been generated by that operation. We check and see if they conform to our interests and the interests of the New Order, and whether the draft P continues.

The Pharmaceutical flipped a couple of documents. "Here is a complaint against the recognition collegiate homeopathy in Spain. These European players have done a great job destroying homeopathy. We can not allow to gain acceptance, it's bad for business in my guild, and we all know how important it is money my guild for the support of the New Order.

"I know well," said Master Pharmacy. What else?

- Here's another about the lack of evidence of the healing power of prayer .

"Very clever. Two birds with one stone. Discredit the spiritual medicine and the Church.

"It never hurts an attack on Rome," said the Rabbi. They served us very well for a while, but have become an obstacle to our plans. Attack is also very timely now that the Church has alienated the public with sex scandals. Enjoy acceptance.

-Discredit to various churches, "said the Shaman. Not just Christians pray, they talk not only with their gods. But I agree that this text is useful to us, we are pleased, then away to men of faith, religion, and becomes more controllable by us.

the arms left to browse your package and his face brightened.

- Ah, this will satisfy my patterns! Agent K continues its work debunking the HAARP . Need to hide the true nature of HAARP, at least while we strengthen our control of Agartha and telluric currents.

The Oil flipped back his package of documents, separated one and said

-And speaking of HAARP, the same agent K has a chronic and critical analysis of the rumors of a big earthquake in Mexico . Do not have anything to do with his company, armaments?

The arms made a gesture of annoyance.

"We're confident that that information was leaked, but still do not understand how. It was quite difficult to interrupt the boot sequence of HAARP and recalibrate the system. Fortunately there was no need to turn off everything and just had to defer the quake a little. In the long run had its advantages. "I remember

be careful. Is sensitive technology, you know? Adapted for use by apes like you not easy, "said Master. Who's next?

Q The agent wrote about the failed prophecy of an astrologer "said the Shaman. I suggest we let this continue astrologer: your child astrology and useless people away from the true astrology, hidden them wisdom. Occult must be only to our service, our will.

- Does everyone agree? Well, that says do as Shaman, "said Master.

The Pharmaceutical considered a document carefully and do not understand very well.

- logic of propositions. Do we need this?

"Of course you need. If we educate the people in logic and reasoning rules, will be trained in the rigid thinking of materialistic science so we can preserve the monopoly of the Occult and Healing, and said, "the Master Shaman.

"Oh, this is funny: a spoof feminist proposals for non-sexist language," said Rabbi . Do we have any interest in feminism?

- Of course! "Said the Pharmaceutical and Oil in unison. Feminists tend to be socialists, and socialism is the enemy of transnational industries in the service of the New Order. Therefore we must neutralize.

-O co-opting .... -Added Master.

The Petroleum spoke. "Our English agent made another report which rejects an island in the Bay of Bengal has disappeared because of climate change . That is fine, but do not we risk it is found that climate change is a myth?

"Climate change is a myth," said Pharmaceuticals. We can use this report to discredit environmentalists, to ridicule, to increase popular skepticism about deter the people to do something and to profit from disaster.

"No, I'm pretty sure it's a myth invented to preserve order and neocolonial underdevelopment in the Third World.

"Well you're wrong.

Between the screams, the Rabbi got up and strong, authoritative voice, said:

"Enough, enough. I recall that, in the same way we manipulate the masses and give them conflicting information to serve our purposes, we also are engineered to follow the designs of the highest. We are not given to know whether global warming is true or false. The Higher have decided that our various organizations should be aware of different versions, which are most appropriate for their work. Rabbi

While returning to his seat, the teacher said

"Well, well. So this report is approved. What else do we have?

"There's something about Hercólubus - Shaman said.

- Hercólubus? But that project was canceled years ago.

"Yes, but some people still believe it is real.

- Are our agents?

I do not know. They are very clumsy, very clumsy to be of our own. But I have to review the records.

- represent a threat to our operations?

"I doubt it," said the Rabbi. Denounce something that no longer exists. I recommend moving Hercólubus intervene and turn it into scrap esotericism, which we use to mind control the mob.

"Sounds good. And on a related note, here is a report of a documentary on the Mayan apocalypse 2012 and a monolith in the Pacific Ocean . Do you know something about shaman?

"Let me see ... No, I do not know this monolith. Do not build it, do not get up, not consecrate. But the alignment of the talk is true. Perhaps the monolith is of Atlantean ancestors.

- Another leak?

"Maybe. Or it may be a coincidence. That channel usually convey the false wisdom that we made, the lies invented.

-Start an inquiry and punish those responsible, if any.

"So be it.

the arms put a serious expression.

-Mmm. Here's something I do not like. Agent E wrote a manifesto on the emptiness of contemporary youth , their desire for immediate and contempt for the true human spirit.

"You know, this has been one of the greatest achievements of the New Order ... and my organization, "said the teacher with some satisfaction. What is the problem? "That

blames the" market culture. "

Everyone hit. The Oil complained plaintively.

- What!? But you can not do that! We are the Market!

-not alone, "said Pharmaceutical anxiously. Agent K is denouncing the "computer terrorism."

- what we do from China and Russia? Asked the arms.

"No, what we are doing here, now: spreading false information to cause fear in the public and influence their actions . Is claiming the same operation!

Master became angry. His face contorted even more angry grimace. Began to press the intercom hysterically.

- This is unacceptable! Pancho! Pancho! Goals you need a bummer the futility of P and a. .. What do you call the other guys?

- Wait a minute! Do not send kill anyone yet "broke the arms. Here is a note of P.

- Who else do I have to fuck, wormwood? Asked the intercom.

"Nobody, Pancho. Wait a minute ...

- Tons P thunder just me?

- No, no! What does the note? Representatives

Most High:

I have included some reports that appear to denounce and expose the true nature of the project. Let me make clear that such impression is wrong. The aim we pursued was to make these documents give the project a false image of credibility and intellectual honesty, so that our messages reach the public more easily.

His servant, P

Rabbi nodded in approval.

"Not bad for a beginner. Already taking our methods of duplication and confusion to spread our content among the people. Is hiding our intentions making them full sunlight. I would almost say that impressive.

- How do we know that does not deceive us? Asked the Oil.

"No one can deceive us. Nobody has deceived Master-sentenced. If P tries to deceive or betray, destroy it without delay and without mercy, like so many others with more and better than themselves. Just be more vigilant in its operation. Trust in him. Are we missing something?

"Looks like it.

"Well, it's time to take a decision," said Master. For the few results in recent months, I thought we should cancel. But I can still be useful. I say keep it, but with less budget, at least for the next year.

"I agree. "And I

.

"Since there are no objections, the meeting was adjourned. P give instructions to be informed. Come on, that the New Order will not only build.

Everyone left the room. As I walked out, escorted by Pancho, Master took out his cell and made another call to his number more often.

- Felipe? What news I Veracruz you?

Why Do I Have White Stuff On My Clitoris

meeting pastures had!

On 4 April this year marks another big party in honor of the One True God and Edible Flying Spaghetti Monster: the pastures had .

The pastures had a religious holiday similar to the Jewish feast of Passover and the Christian feast of Easter. During this time, Pastafari around the world are encouraged to eat copious amounts of pasta, usually spaghetti is cooked "in His Image" by family members dressed as pirates. The pastures had celebrated the time when the Flying Spaghetti Monster began to touch people with His Appendix Tallarinesco. All true [...] believers eat the pasta and make the ritual of Paso Eye Patch, in which each member to the table using a pirate patch and says why he is happy to have been touched.

is interesting to note that pastures had before it occurs that the followers of this evil heresy that is called jebuísmo Easter (or, something that unnerves me to levels that can not be described without using vulgarities, "Semanasanta" of run, as one word). In this event made pilgrimages to sacred sites of worship on the coast and Acapulco, Cancun, Guaymas, Huatulco, Ixtapa, Los Cabos, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Playa del Carmen, Rosarito and Veracruz, among others, where drinking excess alcohol and women (and men) wear very little clothing.

This ritual is a clear evocation of Heaven Pastafari, like all devotees know has beer volcanoes and strippers factories, so it should be an acceptable way to celebrate the pastures had. This surely must be another sign of Monesvol and more evidence in favor of Mexicans have been touched by His Appendix Tallarinesco. Ramen.

Chain: HIV-infected syringes

Those who are interested in urban legends probably know the history of HIV-infected needles left in the film to infect unwary visitors. It is a true classic, and as such one should in automatic answer is a lie. But the chain is still circulating. Here it is.


CARE PLEASE CHECK YOUR SEAT WHEN YOU GO TO THE CINEMA

An incident occurred when a friend of an employee for Femsa, went to the movies and sat in a chair, she felt that something was clicking

parentheses: hollow truth that accuracy is adorable? I do not know whether induction courses to tell them otherwise, but the employees were not birthed by Femsa God so that nothing bad ever happens to them. This data would be useless if it furnish a possible origin of this variant, which should could be the home of Femsa, or Monterrey.

He got to see what had been and saw a needle with a note attached that said 'Welcome to the real world because you are HIV Positive' In fact, going to the doctor she was tested and the needle were HIV positive.

For the virus to be reflected in a blood test may need to spend up to six months after being infected .!!!!! Most of us we just dove into the seat. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SEAT !!!!!!

The safest way is to palpate do NOT YOUR HAND to see if you feel the needle, at least move the seat several times to see if anything

LOOK GREAT.

phones also in drug users are putting needles in the hole where you get to change people, to seek change or see if someone left something to be infected with HEPATITITIS B, AIDS and other diseases. Another

parentheses: Little Boy Holy God! I can get sick of me HEPATITITIS ! The net gives me much more scared of getting sick of "hepatititis" than hepatitis. Sorry, is that I could not endure.

This message must be sent to everyone to stay away from danger. Be cautious !!!!!!

This information was provided by employees of Telefonos de Mexico through the instructor and was emailed to all employees of the Metropolitan Police. This message is a social service, work with your distribution and

TAKE CARE Help us to help '! PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD DELETE,, TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS FOR MEDIA MESSENGER THAT USES CAN YOU REMEMBER IS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY?

,.,.,. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Not long ago Caesar Light pitorreó received it and it properly, so I first sent him there. I hope.

Welcome back. If you paid attention to Caesar, have noticed that the big problem with the chain is that the alleged risk sites no longer exist. The version that Caesar was said to have occurred in Cinépolis, and the last time I stepped on a Cinépolis (about two months ago) seats were folding and one is bound to lower the seat itself back far enough to sit. Not a seat to facilitate planting syringes or notes. Moreover, as Caesar says, employees (supposedly) pass the broom between functions.

Much is anachronistic mention of payphones, which are virtually nonexistent in the country, displaced by the booths electronic board mounted precisely Telmex, which in turn would be displaced by cell phones. Currently, Telmex and does not manage payphones and should not have a single instructor who imparts an issue on payphones.

My version had something that Caesar did not have: signatures. Or rather, attempted signature. MARTHA E.

systems

In this jumble without rhyme or distinguish at least three people who allegedly would support the chain. None is directly related to Femsa or Telmex. The telephone and fax numbers do not look anything like the phones of the Tec de Monterrey campuses in Tlalpan and Atizapán , the most obvious suspects for the number format. Nor is it credible that a person with a high administrative position within the Tec de Monterrey is unable to write correctly the name of the founder of this institution, Eugenio Garza Sada . Only the very naive would go with the fake.

History

chain

This string is actually two chains merged. The history of the needles in the seats of the cinema and the history of the needles on phones running each separately at least since 1998. Fusion apparently occurred shortly afterwards, because next year it circulated a version very similar to that presented here in Argentina and Uruguay. Meme recent incarnations of the needle infected with HIV are in nightclubs, gas pumps and vending machines for soda.

The meme of the film infected needle may be the oldest and the direct antecedent of the latest versions for phones and gas stations. It takes many elements of the urban legend of "AIDS Mary" , invented during the decade of 1980, about a woman who seduced men with AIDS to infect as revenge for having been infected. Another possible precedent is the hysteria of the Men of the Needles in New Orleans in 1930, allegedly preying on young black women in theaters to inject morphine, kidnapped and sold into slavery, or any woman for killing them and selling them medical schools as corpses for dissection.

The danger of Insurance

chains will not be surprised to know that never has found a systematic assembly infected needles in public places. What itself has been documented are acts of vandalism and pranks that replicate some elements of the chain:

  • In February 1999, two people were reported injured by needles in phone booths in Pulaski, Virginia. Other nearby towns reported finding needles in mailboxes. The incident occurred a week that an area newspaper ran a story showing the string as false.
  • In April 2008, police in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, Canada reported that in local parks placed willing to poke needles who sit on them.
  • In February 2009, in Vancouver, Oregon syringes were found glued to telephones and doorknobs .
  • In July 2009, a woman was pricked by needles in the clothing being tested in a shop in Houston.
  • In October 2009, victims reported needlestick vending machines Middle Tennessee State University.

Not one of the victims have been infected with HIV or another illness.

Tellingly, no incidents of syringes in public places came before the diffusion of the chain, and there is circumstantial evidence that the case of Virginia inspired by the chain. This will create a cyclical process in which the abandoned syringes alerting chains inspire lazy to recreate the urban legend, which now becomes a reality and increase the credibility of the original legend, which is more likely to be passed, read by vague and so on to infinity and beyond.

Chains are bad because they fill up with junk email, creating unnecessary hysteria and induce decisions and wrong actions. This string taught me that the chains are also bad because they inspire people bad ideas harmful and stupid. Say no to chain letters.

Thank You Wedding Welcome Bag Letter

The Circus of the Absurd no. 24

After the small bump last month, the Circus of the Absurd set up his tent in a timely manner in parallel editing in Wordpress Ahuramazdah under an entry form factor - comment that goes straight to the point . Thus, the progress of the Circus returns to normal.

The next feature will be the Monday after pastures had (Sic) on 5 April. This function marks the second anniversary of the Circus and the start of the third season. Unless someone else is anime, I propose to use my prerogative as a coordinator and get the hat as host for April. As always seeking masters of ceremonies for future positions, and accepted questions, concerns and comments. Carnival

Lifetime Athletic Membership

week in Puebla Fortean

First a hole tag ( fallstreak hole or hole punch ; not find a name in English) was formed in Acatlan Osorio, south of Puebla, on Monday 8.

This phenomenon occurs in high clouds formed by water drops below freezing but still liquid, such as cirrus. The most accepted theory says much the cause is a precipitation of ice crystals on the cloud, formed during the passage of aircraft or other atmospheric disturbances. When these crystals fall and cross the cloud grow by absorbing some of the drops. The air loses moisture and that makes the other drops evaporate more quickly, dissolving the cloud and creating a hole. The gap tends to be circular because the process of the crystals spread out in a kind of wave. Ice cores are grouped into a kind of plume to fall and evaporate.

This kind of cloud is associated with supernatural wonders. In Chicago , Moscow and elsewhere have been mistaken for alien spacecraft. According El Sol de Puebla, local evangelicals say the trail of ice was an angel and a sign of end times, and some claimed it was a sign of an earthquake maybe devastating. (That same day, as the video, there was an earthquake in Puebla. Reportedly white balance.)

Two days later, she reported the fall of a meteorite in the municipality of Ahuazotepec, now in the north, in the Hidalgo border and near Tulancingo (Millennium Puebla, Puebla Sun, 11/02/2010). At about 4 PM (UTC -6) several people in the area reported seeing a light in the sky and crash shortly afterwards. The light was seen in capital and Puebla in Mexico City shortly before the incident.

was said that the meteorite had left a crater 30 meters in diameter and destroyed a bridge. The mayor of Ahuazotepec denied the two events ( La Jornada de Oriente, 11/02/2010) but confirmed the crash. Security groups and civil defense rushed to the area and the army cordoned off the area. But as the investigation progressed, it ruled out any damage and there was no crater, much less a meteorite ( Synthesis , El Universal, 11/02/2010). Other possible causes of the incident as a plane crash or explosions at oil pipelines were also discarded.

Promoters of AEXA , with data obtained from satellite tracking service from the Department of Defense U.S. launched the hypothesis that the object could be a piece of Russian satellite Cosmos 2421 . The predicted path of the fragment cross over the center east of Mexico at the same time that the event was reported Ahuazotepec, and had even predicted that the fragment would flow into the Earth on Wednesday, 10. Space junk would have exploded upon entering the atmosphere and that's what caused the crash crater while, a bit like Tunguska.

There is absolutely no relationship between the two events beyond the coincidence in time and place, if that 200 miles and 2 days apart are sufficient coincidence. At first very stupidly I thought so: first I heard about the event and after Ahuazotepec tag Acatlán, but I noticed that the second had an earlier date. Boo.

Acatlán The tag and was not revealed at the level of a note campirano color. The pint Ahuazotepec satellite to get more interesting: if you look at these septic tanks are the comments sections of news sites, you will see that more people claim that education is already starting to weave the inevitable complement against . The next program is sure to be amazing Jaime Maussan. To know what is going to say he had already alerted the people of the danger space debris through the handful of stories from one of his lackeys reporters, and this proves I-RRE-FU-TABLE that he himself is at the forefront of information, and that if everything goes well ...

Mount & Blade Native Expansion

The Circus of the Absurd no. 23 ...

... kaput.

notice it because it was too late, or because they are lazy, or whatever, Keith Coors, who said he took over the role that had been the day before yesterday, reports reaching the unmanageable number of collaborations zero . Tache for everyone except KC, after all, fulfilled its expected role. (Although I know that some have not submitted entries included the usual, because I have forgotten to send it and have been included partnership in a couple of arenas.)

What I propose is that KC still retains the Circus headquarters, but now number 24, March 1, and now they apply to us all, because there can be no collaborations Circus.

I do not think there's anything to worry about sooner or later was going to happen. But as they say, the show must go ... Carnival
