BALLS FILM
I've mentioned before that this blog also suits me to retrieve things saved to go out there and find interesting, so as to be encompassed, we could invent the word "blog", it becomes easier to search and locate in the future. Furthermore I have noticed a weakness for issues that have to do with language and this has to do a lot.
Years ago I came across this piece of literature that, if a little irreverent, is masterful in my humble opinion. There are many stories about it but apparently was written by a student from Seville and published in a newspaper of national circulation. As it was said, demonstrates the richness of our language, Castilian, which is capable of different meanings, specific and very specific to a single word, as the manner and context in which it is used. There he goes.
An example of the rich Castilian is the number of meanings of a single word, such as the well-known and frequently used, which refers to male attributes, BALLS.
If accompanied by a numeral has different meanings depending on the number used. Thus, one means expensive or expensive ( "worth a cojón" ), two means courage ( has two balls "), three means contempt (" I care a fuck ") while that a very large pair means trouble ( "make it cost me a thousand pairs of balls" ).
The verb changes the meaning. Have shown courage ( "one who has balls" ), although in admiration may indicate surprise ( "! Has cojones" ), to express a challenge, especially if you put in some places ( "put the balls up the table "). They are used to bet ( "cut my balls" ) or threaten ( "as you do that I'll cut his balls" ).
The verb tense used changes the meaning of the phrase. Thus, this indicates discomfort or boredom ( "I played to the hilt" ), the reflective means laziness ( "is played to the hilt" ) but the imperative means surprise ( "touch your balls" ).
prefixes and suffixes modulate its meaning: "a" expressed fear ( "being scared shitless" ), "des" means laugh ( "Descojonado of laughter" ), "udo" indicates perfection ( "this is fucking great ") but" azo "reflects laziness or apathy (" is a cojonazos ").
Prepositions qualify the expression "from" means success ( "I came out of hell" ) or quantity ( "cold as hell does" ), "On" expresses voluntariness ( "I will make it hell" ), "to" express the limit of endurance ( "I'm up to the hilt" ), while "no" cowardice ( "was a man without balls" ).
color, shape or size the simple smoothness also provide meanings. The cold expresses violet ( "I left the balls purple" ) may indicate how fatigue ( "had the cojones squares" ), but the effort involved an experiment ( "had the balls bare repeating" ).
The size and position are also important ( "had the cojones large and well planted '), but there is a maximum size of reference that can be overcome and that depends on the location (" has the balls like a horse del Cid, in Seville or "has the guts and the horse Espartero in Madrid" ). If it exceeds this maximum size indicates stupidity or laziness ( "hang, is the steps, sit on them, you need a wheelbarrow to carry ").
The interjection meaning surprise ( "balls!" ) and when one is stumped on request ( "sends balls!" ). On the other hand, they will reside ( "I get the balls" ).
In short, it challenges the reader to find a single word in Castilian, or other languages \u200b\u200bwith equal or greater number of meanings.

Watch Xerex Aubrey Miles Full Movie
This well no longer any number of the infinite potential that exists in the mathematical universe. But applying it to the English telephone context, more than one is neck veins swell, you will remove the bile and bilirubin will rise because of the anger it generates.
As mentioned in other entries in this blog, companies should ensure the common good, even maintaining a balance between their services and their profits, not left to invent to get us the rooms and make us not only see but check holes in our pockets. The "peel" is the "peel" it was said before and now continues, with much more intensity, "euro" is the "euro" and anything goes as long as increasing the income statement and hence profits. Costs "moral" very easily been avoided, if not openly ignored and the "image" that has the company or enterprise to customers and the general public is of little importance and is valued less.
When most of the users have a fee, not free by the way, allowing us to make calls to landlines at no extra charge, the "Timofonica" 900 numbers were invented to keep us going in a box. Well, not all the 900 since the same prefix 900 is free but not the 901 and the dreaded 902. We know that the numbers 901 and 902 are "virtual", ie not really exist estando apoyados en un número fijo convencional. Si conocemos el número fijo que se esconde detrás de uno de ellos, llamaremos sin coste adicional, repito que no gratis, pero si no somos capaces de dar con él nos costará unos dineros.
Las empresas se llenan la boca de decir que es por una mejora en su atención. Pero… ¿a quién engañan? La empresa que da servicio a la acometida de agua potable a mi domicilio, Aqualia, a la que yo y todos los vecinos hacían llamadas locales con o sin coste, cambió hace tiempo a un 902 alegando que era para una mejoría en el servicio. Se lo habrán creído ellos, porque lo que es los usuarios, no. Detrás de estos 90x están los ya conocidos como Celebrity CAU's, translated as care facility users, governed and maintained even by people outside the company itself, located anywhere in the world where out cheaper, and in some cases are difficult to understand, because his Castilian or English not just in Spain. I think we all know what I mean.
keep a personal crusade against the 902 and tried by every means to ascertain the number of fixed behind. For this I rely on Internet searches or by going directly to a website dedicated specifically to this issue that is http://www.nomasnumeros900.com/ . where the phone is not always obtained is valid because I thought that fixed calling, Miss "XXX" tells you that you can handle and you have to call when you call for 90x and then 90x in that you mentioned, the same lady " XXX "serves you well.
The company where I work now, calls to numbers 901 and 902 are inhibited, not possible to perform them. If working hours coincide with the time customer, you know, or looking for a cab or a nearby bar if you have a phone, which is very rare, or you use your mobile touch making it cost is, as my grandmother, to "piss and do not take drop. " Because
not forget that the rich English language has synonyms for all even for 902 numbers. This joke of looking for numbers but 15 has always been "pretty girl" but in my case the 902 is a synonym for "all operators are busy, please wait ... vd paying." Which is usually with Too often the reality of what happens when a 902 call. And when you've been waiting five minutes, you are the demons and do not know whether to hang up and try another time when you swear in Aramaic or continue waiting. Some companies, few, report the approximate time it takes to be treated and even tell the operators that are attention and calls outstanding at the time there before you. To give you an idea, but they are still merely patch the problem.
The last episode of my personal crusade has been with the insurer ASISA. I have sent a email asking specifically fixed number hiding after 902,010,010. The report on the Web nomásnúmeros900 not caught. I have answered that are lentils that the 902 allows for better care, and so on. etc. As usual, as if we sucked his finger.
Some companies are entering the ring and facilitate the two phones next to each other, so that the user to decide to which call. An example is the familiar Martínez pastry company that facilitates the packaging of the 902,585,677 or 938,409,202 products as your customer service and if you go to their website you find the surprise that gives you the 900,101,968, free. Mercadona also provides a 900 free. There are more examples and see if they learn all and this becomes common practice.
But there are also touch you nose in the opposite direction. For example, other companies in the country should lead by example, Iberdrola, beloved by some and hated by most, reports on its website a 902 for customer service but Pegaditas just below and get a 900 for shareholder information. That you will see the duster, Majete.
I will continue my crusade as much as possible, rather than by the cost, it is, but to eradicate the bill for my telephone service those annoying lines of information relating to 90x hated that I am forced to use.

To Sick To Work With Aods What Can I Do
If we make an abstraction to the most simple, the movies no longer a white cloth placed on a wall where light is projected in black and white or color, while sounds are by speakers. Technically the issue is not given more of himself and in fact, if we assume the visit of extraterrestrials who could see what is happening in the room during a screening, viewers perceive a lot of human feeling intense emotions of joy, fear, disgust or other just to be captivated watching the lights on the mat and listening to the sounds ....
Since my childhood I liked the film, big screen, and not in vain was almost the only activity in our childhood and even adolescence could do on Sunday afternoon in the village. No matter the film is projected, all the movies to the role of seven in the evening. In the Christmas special days were made for children and there remember seeing for the first time one of my cult films "101 Dalmatians" cartoon. Every year the put and I managed to go to several meetings and even when he is older, was to accompany my younger brothers to see the movie. I knew it by heart. Now I'm watching with my young daughter, but it is different: it is in film, on a big screen, with the lights off, no strange sounds, but always strictly popcorn. Now we see at home on television, sometimes we want to just insert the DVD or not even that it is recorded on a hard drive connected to the TV which does not even have to get off the couch to get it going.
This introduction brings me to a reflection. Except some of those movies that are called art-house cinemas and very specific, commercial films that are released are a time when the films in cinemas and eventually end up being removed. Never be replaced.
televisions in homes have improved greatly in recent years. They're affordable screens "huge" compared to the old, equipped with advanced technologies such as "plasma" and "led" and even the possibility of vision • 3D. And surely continue to improve as the days go by. It is also possible, those who have room in their homes, to connect a computer to a video projector and build a mini movie with screen sizes above which may have a television. I know a friend who has mounted in the attic of his townhouse and the effect is like a small theater, except when the phone rings or someone gets up to do something, something that the film really is not usually done out of respect others.
Now we return to the track, but I want to comment on another example. Being very small I remember going to the cinema in Madrid, a film of those who said it was widescreen, which is projected a film that then has also been a cult to me: "BEN-HUR." I still remember like it was yesterday When I made history My first knowledge of the disease of leprosy and some scenes like the chariot race in the giant screen cinema. Of course I bought the DVD and see the movie once a year, usually at Easter, but not the same view on television that in film. As curiosity I will say that a few years ago I learned that the film was based on the book of the same title written by Lewis Wallace, I loved the book not only for itself but for bringing new aspects to the film as I knew memory . There are some things different between book and film, how could it be otherwise, but in general the adaptation is very faithful.
There are currently superb movie screens in some rooms. To mention one that impressed me quote the room size of the complex number 25 "Kinnepolis" in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid. I've seen some movies there and it's awesome.
occurs to me that it might be interesting, again using the conditional "could", reprogramming of films selected in this room or any other film. Now is already used for sports broadcasting film or opera. There are movies to see in the movies: the aforementioned Ben-Hur, The Mission, The Last of the Mohicans, the saga of The Lord of the Rings and many others sure that we happen to everyone. If I ever find out that Ben-Hur, 101 Dalmatians or my third and last of cult movie "My Fair Lady" are projected back into a movie theater, I will do everything possible to visit them. That is the idea.
