How Much Does It Cost To Make Hot Chocolate
firing sometimes stand still now also living
Since everything is built into something for no reason rightly or
as Architecture, planned and then abandoned because
when culminates
live later in the sun and shade, for a certain number of years.
Who cares what went before? There is no possibility of going back
because standing death means, and life is moving
moving toward death. But sometimes sit still
also live.

What Do You Need To Get Plates In Ontario
urban way a woman does not sleep here
of A man who sleeps
"A day like this, a little later or earlier, you find no surprise that something ; works, which, to speak without hesitation, do not know how to live, not ever know.
The sun is on the roof sheeting. The heat in the attic is unbearable. You're sitting, cornered between the bank and ledge, with a book open on his knees. Do not read and in a while. Your eyes remain fixed on the white wooden shelf in a pink plastic bowl into which corrodes six socks. Smoke from your cigarette left in an ashtray stands, straight or nearly so, and forms an unstable layer below the ceiling set by tiny cracks.
Something broke, something is broken. Since you're not - how shall I say? - Held: something that you thought, you think, you have comforted until then, you made my heart, a sense of your existence, your makes almost the impression of being attached, swimming in the world, suddenly leaves you. "Georges Perec
of A man who sleeps
You left the University and you did not know where to go. you go to your home. Now you drink coffee with milk and do not mind it maybe tomorrow night and not wake up. You can not stop reading , to think aloud and in the second person, and but the reading is at times heavy (wonderful), you can not stop smiling because, in addition to the book is well bastard, you knew while taking this bus at the Uni, you know Now you do the fool in the second person, and started your holiday: D

Cheesy Quotes About Love
Motorcyclists Lithic s02e02 passengers: Aliens, Exopolitics and university grid column
I: Good morning
They say over there in the mid-nineteenth century, Joseph Johann Littrow, director of the Vienna Observatory, proposed the idea of \u200b\u200bdigging canals giant geometric designs in sands of the Sahara, fill with water, then with kerosene and set on fire. That way, he said, could be extraterrestrial civilizations communicate the existence of intelligent life on Earth. At that time, not a few believed that the moon might be inhabited, and the question of life on Mars was widespread conjecture. Some years before, Franz von Baron assured Gruithuisen have identified a city on the moon through his telescope, and even speculated that the Venusian cloud cover (which we now know is sulfuric acid) was due to festivals devoted to native fire agreements. In December 1900, Madame Clara GOUGET Guzman, wealthy French aristocrat, announced a prize of one hundred thousand francs to "a person of any nation in the next ten years to find the means to communicate with a star and get an answer." There was talk of stars, not planets: Mars, it was assumed, was an inhabited planet, so that communication with the Martians would be too easy, not worthy of the award. The mysterious words today are: a gourd TV.
II: Calling all aliens
The issue of communication with other planets has been present in the scientific community and among the popular since long before space exploration allowed us to get out of ours. Has been an inspiration to a lot of novels and movies, and so in general we consider it more a matter belonging to the realm of fiction. However, some have raised interesting questions about what would be the reaction of the human species to a possible communication of this type, and suggest that, at the end of the day, as a species we are not prepared for an event of this kind: we consider so unreal, that if one day come to pass our feedback on both human civilization might not be very good.
This lack of foresight of a possible scenario for alien contact has been the subject of novels (later turns movies) as Sphere, Michael Crichton, and Contact by Carl Sagan. In the first, a group of experts was assembled to investigate a device immersed in the peaceful, presumably, is an alien spacecraft buried there three centuries ago. The group is composed of an astrophysicist, a biologist, a mathematician (by that universal language) and a psychologist expert in trauma. Technical team will add a United States military, missing more. The thing ends in disaster, because the characters, who are very skilled in their fields, unable to drive at the prospect of a meeting that can so dramatically change the paradigms of humanity, and are not prepared to deal with intelligence alien.
In the novel by Carl Sagan, a researcher at the SETI Program (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) captures a signal from a distant star, a sequence of the first 261 prime numbers, which seems to prove the existence of intelligence in space abroad. The message is also contained plans for an interstellar transportation machine, it is built and tested (the least for its occupants) that such travel is possible. The point is that the return to Earth only to find that it has only been here a few minutes (seconds in the movie, where there is only one astronaut) and not recorded tapes proving that the trip is done. Ultimately, the world turns its back to travelers because they can not produce evidence that the trip happened.
III: The lunatics are another cosmos, "said one
Alfred L. Canadian Webre, JD, co-founder of the Institute for Cooperation in Space, pacifist recognized consultant to government initiatives and generating preventive use of outer space for military purposes, Colima was invited to a few weeks (months?) by the Unified Union of Workers of the University of Colima, and the Coordination of Scientific Research, then headed by Dr. Jesus Muñiz, accredited university long career, also coordinator State Science and Technology, guiding man, say the experts. The invitation from one doctor to another occurred in order that the former offer a conference on Expololítica, issue that is expert, and that has to do with the operation maps politics, law and government from a intergalactic perspective.
Presumably Muñiz being a man of science, and understanding the university as a place for ideas, it seemed to bring Webre was correct. In addition, the bottom line of the speech of Dr. Webre, beyond what some can consider extravagant, unlikely or pseudoscientific, focuses on the imperative that the human species deprived of cooperation, peace and harmony to achieve progress as a civilization . Above, the prospect does not seem negligible to hear an opinion on how they can be the possible relationships with other intelligences, just in case. And Crichton and Sagan warned us not to
vaig be.
The point is that Alfred Webre also speaks of things that those who have some respect for The scientific method produce discomfort, so to speak. Accept ideas such as dimensional portals, interplanetary transfer as a matter of daily life, time travel, and international plots, it is not easy. The least that one does in such cases is to stay quietly out of respect for the beliefs of others, to say no, then after you "and take what you consider useful than it provides the speaker. After all who came to her talk all they got was more information and offering a broader perspective to consider the universe, and every one who decided how much or how no use of the info.
III: Check them Polish friend
However, the issue soon escalated into a pretext for political broadside. Supported by the sensationalist media coverage of some Colima they decided to report only the scandal of the conference, and make a mockery of organizing a group of teachers led by researcher Alfredo Arana (who's credentials and academic achievements do not prevent a flowery language in public forums) went on the attack and not the speaker and his ideas (because they were not at the conference he and the new coordinator for Scientific Research UdeC) but of the organizer of the event, making use of ridicule and disqualification a manner, which lueguito becoming apparent political interests beyond criticism for bringing a speaker of questionable ideas. It is no longer aliens, it is to put a public trip to the Rector.
newspaper Ecos de la Costa played their part in the merequetengue to report only the outrageousness of the talk, and then publish a picture of Dr. Jesús Muñiz tricked in which he portrayed as alien. Then the director will "apologize" in a column, saying that "we return to us for a training error" (which raises questions about the internal organization of the day), without removing the fact that the coup had already given.
As a result, the ball keeps rolling, and began the clarifications by those invited Alfred Webre to Colima, and just as some have tried to put Dr. Muñiz under a cloth of ridicule, the doctor has looked Arana alone under his own light artillery to lead the mud, showing the level of discourse. In conclusion, there has been good, neither the speaker nor the organizer, not those who would exploit to attack, or the newspaper. Worse, the deeper message of Webre, who has to do with human solidarity, international cooperation, peace among nations, and the need to progress together, is the least has been vented to the public. Take her there, comrades.
Despite everything, an optimistic interpretation of this may be that although all the characters came scratched, the bailout is that ultimately the University has been shown as an open forum for ideas, however radical they be. Let's stay, at least, with that positive.

Lithic s02e01: Dying on Facebook
I: Good morning
La Jornada Semanal, cultural and literary supplement of the national daily, titled "Five years after the end of the world," the latest edition of December 1995. At that time, devoted 8 pages to the publication of stories by young authors who wrote about the year 2000 from perspectives ranging from the apocalyptic to the playful. Naief Yehya, a pioneer in Mexico of network analysis, wrote a story for the occasion in which the protagonist's wife, when he died, became a website. At that time web sites were a rarity in Mexico, and barely beginning to glimpse its commercial and social potential, so the literary proposal of Yehya sounded extravagant that no longer exist on the vital plane, one line of code become programmed to continue living in the network. Today, a decade after the end of the world was not, the literature has come true. The mysterious words today are: death in times of the network.
II: Still with us
A year ago, I deeply regretted the loss of a former student who was very fond of and with whom I shared tablados several times by both music and theater. This girl was very talented, and dedicated himself successfully to the stage and towards the end of his life, filmmaking. He studied in Mexico City when he suffered an accident that left him brain dead. Days later he said goodbye.
Not long before we were reunited via Facebook, and by this means is that I was hearing about his adventures in Mexico City and their artistic achievements. In the days following his death, his Facebook profile was filled with messages from friends and family, in which said goodbye to him, expressing affection, and regretted his departure. Although I had never seen anything like that, did not seem so strange that event, given the changes that are represented in our daily communication social networks. What surprised me was that spent the weeks and months, and friends followed him, leaving messages, but not in mourning tone, but like "today we see in the movies at 6:00, is a very good movie" or "see you in the party to shoot, tomorrow at 9 : 00. "
As if he were alive, friends continued to write, send messages of Merry Christmas, a happy birthday, see you in the evening, thanks for the strength you give me. To date I still write, and several times a week someone goes through the wall to leave a message. In your profile cyberspace, there are still plenty of life.
IV: necropolitics
The April 17, 2007 a student of Polytechnic Virginia closed with a chain outside a classroom block, and began to shoot at everything that moved. Reached with their bullets to 62 students, of whom 34 would die, and then shot himself. The killing shocked the United States, and resonated throughout the world. That night, George Bush gave a message of sympathy that included the peculiarity that for the first time a president of this country spoke of blogs, and how young people relate to the network. Friends and relatives of the deceased students began to leave messages on their Facebook profiles, and soon became a mass phenomenon that was previously unknown: the social networking accounts that become a memorial to the departed.
Facebook At that time was not quite prepared to deal with these situations. Should he allow the accounts were active from the dead? Should I remove them? There are privacy considerations involved. What, for example, if, in the midst of the messages of sympathy or affection, someone not very edifying reveal things about the deceased, or put to publicly insult his memory accounts receivable? At the time Facebook was three years old, and only a few months of being open to the public (before membership was exclusively preparatoriana university), the company aimed at a younger audience and did not consider that users would eventually begin to die, no defined strategies in this regard. For now, the policy was that if there was clear evidence that a user had died (by notice of relatives and verification of the documents), the profile was deleted.
However, many called for the continuation of the profiles of the students killed at Virginia Tech to leave messages of condolence on them, and Facebook had to begin to reconsider their policies. Currently, if a user is notified that dies and there is clear evidence of this, the system offers to relatives or friends two options: delete the profile, or keep it as a memorial blocking certain sections and limiting the use of your account (you can not add new friends, for example). Recently added the instruction not to list the name in searches, or use it to offer services of social interaction, the latter from complaints from users receiving the system alive invitations to "reconnect" with people who killed through algorithms had identified as Facebook users with little or no activity on their accounts.
IV: The machine
This is as Macondo in his beginnings, when "the world was so recent that many things lacked names, and had to bring them to mention finger. " Facebook is so recent that have not yet adjusted to the needs of its users.
One of every 14 inhabitants of the planet has a Facebook account. Currently, the population sector over 65 years is the most rapidly adopting this network, tripling its number of hits per month of May 2009 to May 2010. There are 350 000 users per employee of this online community, making it impossible to have a direct monitoring of what happens, especially to realize who are dying. As solutions, Facebook sees more specialized logarithms (eg, user profiles identifying dead from words and key phrases left on the walls) that could become operational in the coming months.
Facebook functionality has changed the world in an extremely short period of time, and has become a sort of autobiographical container in which people document their relationships, interests, and everyday life through photographs, videos , notes, thoughts, pokes, likes, and a number of virtual devices that determine the new communication between friends. Just as Facebook has managed to become an inescapable part of modern life, must adapt and grow to also offer a decent, humane and socially responsible for friends and relatives of users who are dying. Es la evolución que nos tocará presenciar y en la que, eventualmente, de manera inevitable, habremos de participar.
