Who is Jesus?

Time ago, I read a book called "Jesus of Nazareth: A man without equal" and then I saw a quote from a man named Phillip Schaff.
I will translate into Spanish. I love this quote, besides; I found more quotes about Jesus:


"Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander the Great, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science and learning, he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of school, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times." –Philip Schaff



Jesús de Nazareth. Sin armas y sin dinero, conquistó muchos más millones que Alejandro Magno, César, Mahoma y Napoleón; Sin ciencia ni educación formal, él aportó más luz sobre las cosas humanas y divinas que todos los Filósofos y Eruditos juntos; Sin elocuencia académica, él habló palabras de vida como nunca antes se habían dicho, y produjo efectos que se extienden mas allá de cualquier orador o poeta; sin escribir una sola línea, él puso más plumas en movimiento, y ha sido tema para muchos sermones, debates, libros de enseñanza,, arte y las más dulces canciones de alabanza que todos los ejércitos y grandes hombres de los tiempos antiguos y modernos juntos”. -Phillip Schaff

Why Mexicans are late




This sunday, me and a friend of mine were driving to a party, probably it was around 12:20 am and we had to be there at 12:30, but i want to buy a notebook and i was little hungry for a kind of snack. And I knew that i'd be late, he noticed too. I am talking about that we always are late in parties, meetings and something like that. They have to tell us around one hour before the party start, and i can says that it is not about we are lazy or irresponsable, it is just because we like to have what we want. Maybe, one of you (not Mexican) would go to the party and would buy the notebook other day, a Mexican no, we go for the notebook and for the snack, and we goin to be late, and we have both things that we wanted.

there are tow parties, one at 3 and other one at 8:30, a "normal citizen" just will go to one party, a Mexican will go at 8:30 to one and then around 10 to the other one. But i am not saying all Mexican are like this, just most of us.

We always say: "Mas vale tarde que nunca" (It's better late than never be there"

The way you are

Today, i went to visit a friend of mine at Tech, it was about two weeks that i didn't see her, it was so fun spent the time with her. We spoke about us, how we met us, about the first time we tried to keep a conversation, i was surprised how she can remeber t, it was about a year and a half ago. Then, we start talking about our lifes, I told her about my feelings for her, she said that she feel some attractions too, but it can not be possible, no in our cases, nothing can be happen beetwen us. But we only talked about the chance that something could happen. Then, she told me that there is song that makes me reember me everytime she listen it. The song is called The way you are by Bruno Mars.





Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Measuring the world just with rice



1 Rice = 1 Person

The creator of the unusual exposition use an idea pretty simple: one grain of rice for each person in this whole world. When visitors walk by the lobby, they can see piles of rice with different sizes that helps to visualize statistics about the world.
For example, one pile represents the demography of a country. Other pile is about children that will be born in this world in the next 24 hours. When we visualize the different sizes, it helps to see different proportions that we can’t see just with numbers.

Some of this piles shock our mind by its impact visual. One big pile represents the people died in the Holocaust. Other one, amazingly big, represents the children in the world with hungry. And this third one...

...Represent the children that will be die in the next 24 hours by malnutrition :/

"Mientras mas tiempo paso lejos de México, más Mexicano me siento." - Jorge Ramos
[While I am more time away from Mexico, I feel more Mexican]



Jorge Ramos is a Jornalist from Mexico. He lives in Miami. He works for Univision, an Hispanic Network. Jorge Ramos is an immigrant. He came to the United States as a student in 1983. In November 1986, at age 28, he became one of the youngest national news anchors in thehistory of American television. Since then, he has been called “the voice of the voiceless” for other immigrants like him.

Jorge Ramos has been called "Star newscaster of Hispanic TV" and "Hispanic TV's No. 1 ccorrespondent and key to a huge voting bloc" by The Wall Street Journal. Time magazine included him in the list of “the 25 most influential Hispanics in the United States”. So did People magazine . Latino Leaders magazine chose him as one of “The Ten Most Admired Latinos” and “101 Top Leaders of the Latino Community in the U.S.”

He is the author of ten books and bestsellers: “Behind the Mask”, “What I Saw”, “The
Other Face of America”, “Hunting the Lion”, his autobiography “No Borders: a Journalist’s Search for Home”, “The Latino Wave”, “Dying to Cross”, “The Gift of Time; Letters from a Father”, and the children’s book “I’m Just Like My Dad/I’m Just
Like My Mom” (HarperCollins) and “A Country for All; An Immigrant Manifesto”.
Ramos has been instrumental in promoting literacy among Latinos. In 2002 he created the first book club in the history of Hispanic television: Despierta Leyendo (Wake Up Reading).



From his childhood days in Mexico, to his experience of censorship in government–owned Mexican media companies, his student years in LA, and his early beginnings as a journalist in the USA, Ramos gives us a personal and touching account of his life.



He is my role model in Journalism.

Podcast



Imagine getting new “radio” style talk and music shows to listen to on your iPod or other MP3 player every day. You wake up and automatically have new shows ready to listen to while you exercise or commute to work. This is the podcast listening experience.
Not only that, but anyone can create his or her own “radio”style show and broadcast it to the world in very little time and at very little cost. All you need is a computer, a mic and the internet.

And this is kind of interesting, because you can be out of the traditional broadcasting radio that only play the music over and over again.
I am beggining with podcast, i have some followers from Mexico, it's kind of my first steps for Broadcasting radio.

Podcasters (as they are called) are not restricted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission ) or traditional broadcast formats and regulations. This allows for numerous subjects and formats.

I am a fan and follower of Mario Filio Podcast.

El Clasico, Barcelona vs Real Madrid


At 9pm Monday evening [2pm in Russellville, Arkansas], the footballing world will stop in its tracks and focus on events at the Camp Nou as Barcelona and Real Madrid embark on the 161st Clasico. The match is being labeled the match of the millennium in these parts, as the Spanish press live up to their reputation as sensationalists of the highest order. What's certain is that it is without doubt one of the most eagerly anticipated Clasicos in years.

Barcelona has Real Madrid on their heels after 18 minutes, with Pedro seeing the Blaugrana to an early 2-0 lead. The Spanish international's goal came after Iker Casillas was unable to stop a low David Villa cross, giving Pedro an easy finish into an undefended Real Madrid net.


Villa dribbled at Ramos before getting the defender to shift his weight to his left foot, a sign to make for the byline. From there, Villa drove a ball across the six yard box, through goalkeeper Iker Casillas's hands to an oncoming Pedro, who ran onto the ball for an easy finish into the middle of the net.

Now in the 34th minute, the match remains 2-0, Barcelona.




The game finished with hilight of Barcelona 5 - 0 Real Madrid

Rebuilding a life


Everyone has a past, but how real is that past, experienced or felt how it was. Deceive ourselves and remember only the interpretation of experiences filtered through a sentimental memory. The experiences are erased from the mind, memories are transformed, mixed with dreams, desires and confused with imagination. Can not mind building experience by analogies, on the basis of other similar experiences, extrapolating landscapes, characters and actions, and rebuild new memories?

Can we say that memories are less valid than a dream nurtured for years? That dream can take the place of memories and experiences to fill a life (fantasies in which it is believed and accepted as real.) Who knew that our past is false? Do the "versions" of those we meet? They can only remember fragments of our former life: those that make you laugh or feel sorry for, and often those in which they are the main characters, because in the end, are his memories, the experiences of them.

We could then fill our lives with dreams just like we can fill it with memories. And though our present is empty, we could retreat into the past. But what is the past? There are memories stored in the form of images, that would be false (dream) if it was not because there are places, not exactly the same, new constructions, extensions, people do not know. Who has not returned to the birthplace and is surprised to see the places where a child would no longer exist, and even those who are no longer met and if we find are so different from those we leave. What we have then? Remember them? The memories that we made ourselves, our version of the past.

And I wonder: Can there be someone who evoke their fantasies as realities and build your past based on their dreams? ...

Reconstruyendo una vida


Todos tenemos un pasado, pero cuan real es ese pasado, cuan vivido o sentido fue. Podemos engañarnos y recordar solo la interpretación de vivencias filtradas por una memoria sentimental. Las vivencias se van borrando de la mente, los recuerdos se transforman, se mezclan con los sueños, con los deseos y se confunden con la imaginación. ¿No puede la mente construir vivencias por analogías, sobre la base de otras vivencias similares, extrapolar paisajes, personajes y acciones, y reconstruir nuevos recuerdos?

¿Podemos afirmar que los recuerdos tengan menos validez que un sueño alimentado durante años? Ese sueño puede ocupar el lugar de los recuerdos y llenar una vida de vivencias (fantasías en las que se cree y se aceptan como reales). ¿Quién diría que nuestro pasado es falso? ¿Las "versiones" de los que nos conocieron? Ellos sólo pueden recordar fragmentos de nuestra vida anterior: aquellas que dan risa o dan pena, y casi siempre aquellas en las que ellos son los protagonistas principales; por que en fin de cuentas son sus recuerdos, las vivencias de ellos.

Podríamos, entonces, llenar nuestra vida de sueños al igual que podemos llenarla de recuerdos. Y aunque nuestro presente este vacío, podríamos refugiarnos en el pasado. ¿Pero que es el pasado? No son recuerdos guardados en forma de imágenes, que serian falsas (sueños) si no fuera porque los lugares existen, no exactamente iguales; nuevas construcciones, ampliaciones, personas que no conocemos. Quien no ha regresado a la ciudad donde nació y se sorprende al ver que los lugares a los que iba de niño ya no existen, e incluso las personas que conoció ya no están y si las encontramos son tan diferentes a las que dejamos. ¿Que nos queda entonces? ¿los recuerdos? Los recuerdos que nosotros mismos hemos fabricado; nuestra versión del pasado.

Y me pregunto: ¿Podrá existir alguien que evoque sus fantasías como realidades y construya su pasado en base a sus sueños?...

Corporations can buy an indivudual freedom of speech?



"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your RIGHT to say it." – Voltaire


Corporation media outlet sells its time to the campaigns advertisers like all the capitalist countries in the world. The money that they earn always is more based what they guarantee to their advertisers that its propagandas will be seen for viewers, readers, listeners, etc. Once advertisers have access to users, they at the same time, send us messages tantalizing us to buy. The war for obtain the audience is until die, and as we know, in all war the first one who be died is the barer of truth.

In the 90’s, media sector had and expansion process: the massive incorporation of technology and the concentration about who belong the media. In other words, phenomenon of expansion, concentration, and social exclusion.
In all the countries in process of development and in Europe the television and broadcasting were a monopoly of the states. The technology and the transnationalization made possible the transmission of satellite through the frontiers destroying official controls and giving to audience news and more options.

In journalism, the right of freedom of expression can serve as justification for publishing a piece that could affect someone’s privacy or honor. However, in these types of cases the publication could either be found to be justified or not, or put another way, the author of the publication could either be sentenced or not. Exposure to trials with such uncertain outcomes gives one pause as to the deterrent effect of civil legislation, and added to this is the lack of clarity regarding the amount of the fine if convicted.

In Latin America both the American Convention on Human Rights , and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, serve as the legal foundation for certain regulations on media content. However, I maintain that these documents leave little room for possibilities. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights held that Article 13 of the American Convention “establishes an exception to prior censorship, since it allows it in the case of public entertainment, but only in order to regulate access for the moral protection of children and adolescents. In all other cases, any preventive measure implies the impairment of freedom of thought and expression.” Likewise, Article 13 considers that hate speech shall be an offense punishable by law when it contains an incitement to “violence or to any other similar illegal action.”

The freedom of speech we all hold dear in this country, should it apply only to individuals? I am not sure how anyone could make the case for that. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, no matter who it applies to. Special interest groups already hold sway over a lot of government policy and this does not apply only to corporations. Labor unions are just as guilty and most of them favor the Democrats. I think the term “six of one, half a dozen of another” applies very well to this case.

However, reforms should take into account the weaknesses of the judiciary in Latin America, and should, at a minimum, limit any possibility of interpretation that could restrict press freedom.

But what about organizations which aren’t for-profit businesses seeking commerce? Take for example the Roman Catholic Church: does a sermon made by a priest qualify as individual speech covered by the First Amendment, or is it commercial speech that can be more tightly regulated? As another example, consider an official statement issued by a bishop — which category does that fall into?
Most people, I think, would be inclined to categorize such acts as free speech that is protected by the First Amendment, but what makes them different from a press release issued by an executive of Nike or Coca Cola? Well, the former do invovle a religious organization and religion does receive special protection by the First Amendment, so perhaps we should consider a different example.
Externally imposed restrictions on this type of speech in the interest of limiting the signal-to-noise ratio in publicly available information are abhorrent. It is also an unrealistic expectation for others to believe that the public writ large will suddenly demand only the most pure and relevant information be presented to them — especially given the subjectiveness of relevance. Indeed, the best thing anyone can hope for is that the most information that can be made available to the public is presented to it.

Perhaps we are looking at his incorrectly. If we find that this inconsistency is unacceptable, perhaps the solution is not to grant commercial speech the same protections as other forms of speech; maybe it would be better to hold the other forms of speech to the same standards as commercial speech?

As we see in Intro to Mass Communication class, in the early days, we are having more stuffs about how we can express our freedom speech, obviously, following our 7 cannons of Journalism:

1] - Responsibility
2] – Freedom of press
3] – Independence
4] – Sincerity, Truthfulness, accuracy
5] – Impartiality
6] – Fair play
7] - Decency

Poem #20

This is a poem from Pablo Neruda (Parral, Chile, 1904-Santiago de Chile, 1973), his real name was Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, but he took that nickname in honor by his favorite poet Jan Neruda.

Here is one of my favorite. I will posted in Spanish, but i am goint to translated into English too.


SPANISH
Poema #20

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Escribir, por ejemplo: “La noche esta estrellada,
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos”.

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

En las noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos.
La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.

Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.
Cómo no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido.

Oír la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Qué importa que mi amor no pudiera guardarla.
La noche está estrellada y ella no está conmigo.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca.
Mi corazón la busca, y ella no está conmigo.

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos árboles.
Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuánto la quise.
Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oído.

De otro. Será de otro. Como antes de mis besos.
Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido.

Porque en noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos,
mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Aunque éste sea el último dolor que ella me causa,
y éstos sean los últimos versos que yo le escribo.
[De "20 poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada"]



ENGLISH:
Poem #20

I could write the very saddest verses tonight
Writing, for example "The night is sprinkled
With stars sparkling blue, far away."
The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I could write the very saddest verses tonight
I loved her and at times she also loved me.

On nights like this I had her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, at times I also loved her.
How could I not love her big staring eyes?

I could write the very saddest verses tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, even more immense without her.
And the verses fall on the soul like dew on the pasture.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her?
The night is full of stars and she's not with me.

That's all. Far off someone is singing. Far off
My love is not used to having lost her.

How my glance looks for her to get close to her.
My heart looks for her and she's not with me.

The same night that turns the same trees white.
We aren't now the same way we were then.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched on the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's, she's someone else's. Like before I kissed her.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but perhaps I love her.
Love lasts so short and forgetting takes so long.

But on nights like this I had her in my arms.
My heart is not used to having lost her.

Although this may be the last pain that she causes me
And these may be the last verses that I write her.
[From Twenty Poems of Love and One of Desperation]

Jesús de Nazareth

Time ago, I read a book called "Jesus of Nazareth: A man without equal" and then I saw a quote from a man named Phillip Schaff.
I will translate into Spanish. I love this quote, besides; I found more quotes about Jesus:


"Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander the Great, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science and learning, he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of school, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times." –Philip Schaff

Sin armas y sin dinero, conquistó muchos más millones que Alejandro Magno, César, Mahoma y Napoleón; Sin ciencia ni educación formal, él aportó más luz sobre las cosas humanas y divinas que todos los Filósofos y Eruditos juntos; Sin elocuencia académica, él habló palabras de vida como nunca antes se habían dicho, y produjo efectos que se extienden mas allá de cualquier orador o poeta; sin escribir una sola línea, él puso más plumas en movimiento, y ha sido tema para muchos sermones, debates, libros de enseñanza,, arte y las más dulces canciones de alabanza que todos los ejércitos y grandes hombres de los tiempos antiguos y modernos juntos”. -Phillip Schaff

exploring new music experiences!

I have been looking at other bands to see if I can find different music genres that I would like...I found this! It is by iron abnd wine and the song is called Jezabel.

my first colombian cooking experience...

So last week my friend decided that we should all learn how to make arepas. They are a type of tortilla that are originally from Colombia. I wasn't so sure of how good they were going to turn out considering that none of us had made them besides my friend Joanna but still we decided to try it out. All I have to say is that everybody should try this things. They are absolutely delicious! Here is the recipe:
Yellow or white cornstarch
Warm water about 2 cups for every cup of water
Toppinps you want to put on top of the arepas like cheese, butter,ham,sausage, eggs, etc.

Once you have the cornstarch, you mix it with the water and then you use the dough to make tortillas but a bit thicker. Then you place them on a skillet and let them cook on the top of the stove with a bit of butter so that they turn golden brown. hope you try them!

Who do you trust?

I am not a big fan of comic, but when i watched this trailer I was speechless.
It's about a new game of DC universe; it supposed to be released on this month, it is for PS3, Playstation, and other consoles.

I had to watched about 3 times to understand it. I repeat, I am not a big fan of COmics, I only remember the few this I knew about this heroes.

It's a pretty good trailer for a game though, even if you don't like the video games you will enjoy this little pice of trailer.



Battle: Los angeles

I have been saying this since I began with my blog: I LOVE the SCI-FI (Science-fiction). And in February the next year is going to be released a movie named “Battle: Los Angeles”.

First of all, here is playing my favorite actress: Michelle Rodriguez. I love her movies <3

Liebesman. It is starring Aaron Eckhart in the lead role. The movie is also starring Bridget Moynahan, Michelle Rodriguez and Michael Pea alongside an ensemble cast including Ramon Rodriguez and Ne-Yo. “Battle Los Angeles” will be released on February 18, 2011.

The film is loosely based on a true event that took place on February 25, 1942, involving a large-scale anti-aircraft artillery barrage against targets which subsequently remained unidentified:


Skyline movie



The last week on November 12th, Skyline movie was released.

As I say before, I live the science fiction and I am pretty sure that this movie is going to be awesome. I have seen the trailer and it's speechless. Well, I’m going to write little bit about the movie.

I haven't seen it yet, but i am planning go with my friends tomorrow. I have read some reviews of the movie, some people says that this movie is awesome, others says that it sucks, let's see how is it.
Also, probably I will watch Megamind with my nephews too.

Measuring the world with rice



1 Rice = 1 Person

The creator of the unusual exposition use an idea pretty simple: one grain of rice for each person in this whole world. When visitors walk by the lobby, they can see piles of rice with different sizes that helps to visualize statistics about the world.
For example, one pile represents the demography of a country. Other pile is about children that will be born in this world in the next 24 hours. When we visualize the different sizes, it helps to see different proportions that we can’t see just with numbers.

Some of this piles shock our mind by its impact visual. One big pile represents the people died in the Holocaust. Other one, amazingly big, represents the children in the world with hungry. And this third one...

...Represent the children that will be die in the next 24 hours by malnutrition :/

...will be far stranger




Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by
which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred
billion human beings have walked the planet Earth.

Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are
approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So
for every man who has ever lived, in this Universe there shines a star.
But every one of those stars is a sun, often far more brilliant and glorious
than the small, nearby star we call the Sun. And many - perhaps most - of those
alien suns have planets circling them. So almost certainly there is enough land
in the sky to give every member of the human species, back to the first ape-man,
his own private, world-sized heaven - or hell.

How many of those potential heavens and hells are now inhabited, and by what
manner of creatures, we have no way of guessing; the very nearest is a million
times farther away than Mars or Venus, those still remote goals of the next
generation. But the barriers of distance are crumbling; one day we shall meet
our equals, or our masters, among the stars.

Men have been slow to face this prospect; some still hope that it may never
become reality. Increasing numbers, however, are asking: "Why have such meetings
not occurred already, since we ourselves are about to venture into space?"
Why not, indeed? Here is one possible answer to that very reasonable
question. But please remember, this is only a work of fiction.


The truth, as always, will be far stranger.

Time - CREED

I can't explain
Can't quite put my finger on it
The difference that makes us so different
We've said everything
Our words only betrayed us
Nothing is left nothing was left unsaid

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time that I speak my mind
Its about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you're no friend of mine

You cover yourself you cover your skin
You cover yourself like you cover your sin
Please untie my hands
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time that I speak my mind
Its about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine



Will you be there
To catch when I stumble when I fall
When I fall
Its so very clear
You left me when I had no one at all
No one at all

Who will be there
To catch me when...


...Time you're no friend of mine

Podcast



Imagine getting new “radio” style talk and music shows to listen to on your iPod or other MP3 player every day. You wake up and automatically have new shows ready to listen to while you exercise or commute to work. This is the podcast listening experience.
Not only that, but anyone can create his or her own “radio”style show and broadcast it to the world in very little time and at very little cost. All you need is a computer, a mic and the internet.

And this is kind of interesting, because you can be out of the traditional broadcasting radio that only play the music over and over again.
I am beggining with podcast, i have some followers from Mexico, it's kind of my first steps for Broadcasting radio.

Podcasters (as they are called) are not restricted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission ) or traditional broadcast formats and regulations. This allows for numerous subjects and formats.

I am a fan and follower of Mario Filio Podcast.

Octavio Ocampo was born on 28 February 1943 in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. He studied art from early childhood, he grew up in a family designers.

Ocampo is known for several works in his sometimes wryly sardonic, sometimes evocative paintings in which detailed images are intricately woven together to create larger images - the optical illusions fading back and stepping forward as you study the pieces, notice the details, and finally recognize the large scale intention. This is what Octavio Ocampo terms his "metamorphic" style.

The talents of Octavio Ocampo are not limited to painting and sculpture, but also extended to acting and dancing. At the Art Institute of San Francisco, he studied all these disciplines and pursued both a film and theater career. In 1976, he began to devote himself solely to painting and sculpture.He now works primarily in the metamorphic style – using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates.

Mountain View Teen Killed by Car Near Russellville Club



- Roller funeral home [with all our respect]-
Darci Looney
November 30, 1990 - October 30, 2010
Darci Mandissa Ann Looney, 19, of Mountain View, Arkansas, entered into rest on Saturday October 30, 2010 in Russellville, Arkansas. Darci was born November 30, 1990 in Batesville, Arkansas to her father Robert D. Looney and her mother Tina Cates. She was a member of Foothills Baptist Church. She graduated from Mountain View High School in 2009 and was a student at Ozarka College in Mountain View. Darci was a wonderful, loving, caring daughter, granddaughter and very good friend to many.









-Arkansasmatters-
Russellville police are investigating an accident that killed 19-year-old Darci Looney of Mountain View around 1 o'clock Saturday morning.

Officers say Looney was crossing Arkansas Avenue near the 40000 block which is near the 'Poder Latino Club' when she was hit by a 2002 Oldsmobile driven by Jesse Kendrick.

Police say the club was rented out by someone who was using it to host a Halloween Party. It is unclear if Looney had attended that party.

Blood tests were taken from both Looney and Kendrick. Those results are due back in a few weeks.

Russellville officers say the accident was witnessed by a state police trooper who was running radar close by. He says Kendrick was not speeding.

So far, no one has been sited for the accident.

Cultural differences between Mexico and USA #1

I think is fun and interesting learn something about cultures. When I came here to USa, I never imagined to sitting down with people from other countries. I am still quiet in the class, I don't want to offense anyone with my actions, but the people know hat i am kind of crazy.
First seven months I lived in California, I have cousins at there, even when they are hispanics, they have been raised with the culture from here, just couple ones have learned some of our real Mexican culture, and got some troubles, well, just people confused this, even I.
For example, In Mexico yout can say "hi" to anyone even though you don't know her/him. Or if one of your friends introduces to you other person, you can kiss him/her in the cheek. And when my cousin was introducing me with the other people, they just stare their eyes at me, I didn't know what to do, my cousing explains them later what it means. I feel unconfortable at this days so far, all my life I have been doing that expression, and probably when i back to Mexico i don't know how I will feel if I don't feel the same kissing to my friends in the cheek.
I have to say something. Man to man don't kiss them each other, we use to shake our hands or hit our hands with a punch. something that in here doesn't happen too, it probably means in here that i am being agressive.

7 canons of journalism


In Journalism we have 7 canons, this were adopted because there were some people who just use it for sensationalism. This is our ethic code. It was founded by American Society of Newspaper Editor. One the primary function of newspaper is communicate to the human race what is its member doing, feeling or thinking. Therefore, Journalism demands to us a wide range of intelligence of knowledge of experience, power of observation and reasoning.

1] - Responsibility – A journalist must always to consider the public’s welfare. We have the duty of communicate everything as we see. Users of newspaper trust in us, and we have to give them the information. A journalist who uses his power for any selfish or otherwise unworthy purpose is faithless to a high trust.

2] – Freedom of press – All we have a freedom of express and that wonderful, it’s a fundamental right. So that gives us the absolute freedom of writing our News coverage and editorial comments.

3] – Independence – We have the freedom from all obligation, but something vital and essential is keep the fidelity to the public interest.

4] – Sincerity, Truthfulness, accuracy – As this three words says, that’s our entire base. The reader trusts in us.

5] – Impartiality – When we are making our job, we have to take care about do not just put our opinion in it. There is an abysmal difference between a News report and Expression of opinion. But his rule do not apply for some articles where they ask for our opinion and conclusion.

6] – Fair play – The information have to be accurate, not manipulated, corrected by any mistakes it could be having, and should never be swayed by the reporter's personal conviction or bias. . Editorial comment should be an honest expression of the writer's belief, not to court popularity

7] - Decency - In the performance of their public and cultural mission, member newspapers must be available for anyone to read anytime, anywhere. They should maintain decency both editorially and in the area of advertising, and in their circulation practices they should at all times exercise moderation and good sense.

Mario Filio




I start with this Actor Voice because he is my favorite one. I like his “peaceful” voice. He does the voice of a channel saying the slogan “Canal 11, del Instituto Politecnico Nacional), then he gives his voice to Obi Wan Kenobi in Star wars saga.
On his site he does podcast interviewing actor voices or Speakers radio, I guess in English they are called Dj’s.
He gives his voices in some of Will Smith movies (“I, Robot”, “I’m Legend”). I like his podcast, I can say that I am a fan of him, and every Thursday at 9:00 I am waiting for his last new podcast. Today he is interviewing to Dulce Guerrero. I will talk about her in other post.

you can visit his website and hear him better:
www.mfilio.com


Actor Voices




When a movie, show, documental, cartoon, etc are release into another country where the language is not the same, the country hire actor voices to do the job of giving voice to that characters. I will start a miniseries of this actor voices. Some of them are announcers, speaker’s radio, or giving his voice to make advertising, trailer of movies, etcetera.
The action of do this is called in Spanish “Doblaje”. I didn’t find the word for this in English. But I know that in all the countries is use to do it. For Movies from China, Mexico, Russia, Germany, the United States of America make “doblaje” for that ones that probably don’t understand the foreign language.

AB III

I talked about Alter Bridge two post before, I said that AB was about to release a new album, well it’s called “AB III”, In UK it was released at October 11th, here in USa it will appear until November 9th, I've already got it, anyways, i will buy thi CD too. This album is a bit darker than the last one, we can see Mark Tremonti making doing better riffs, and his melodies are so cool. What about Myles? Well, his range vocal are insane. Scott Phillips (Drummer), I don’t know anything about drum but I love how Flip (Scott Phillips) sound in every record, and watching the Live DVD you can see them doing an excellent job.





Tracklist:
01. Slip To The Void (4:53)
02. Isolation (4:13)
03. Ghost Of Days Gone By (4:25)
04. All Hope Is Gone (4:49)
05. Still Remains (4:44)

I, Robot [Book]





When I started reading this book I was thinking that it will be seemed as the book. Probably the only thing that is seemed are the names, some laws, and I dare to say that the movie is just another story that easily can appear in the book, another story of Susan Calvin.
The book starts with a man interviewing to Dr. Susan. She talks about the first robots, how they were working at first time, about what they were doing. For example, in this book the first one was a babysitter, and then the next generation was one who was sent to Venus. Well, all this robots are more complex every time, because they always are asking about ‘Human behavior’, and these issues are resolved in “I, robot” with the three laws of robotics.


Asimov has set up the Three Laws, which are:

1 - A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 - A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.


Author - Isaac Asimov
Title - I, Robot
Series - Robot
Year - 1950
Genre - Science Fiction

Alter Bridge

It’s not easy for musicians to let go of the past with their former bands, but Alter Bridge’s members (Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips) may be an example of the contrary. They were part of a band named CREED, but for troubles with the singer they broke up (last year they reunite after 5 years for a tour and released an album called Full Circle). The other members met with Myles Kennedy (Ex-Mayfield) and formed a new band named Alter bridge. The result is something really incredible. Mark Tremonti with riffs so deep and dark, and Myles Kennedy with his vocals than probably can reach about 6 scales easily. They’re about to release their third album that will be called “AB III”.



Pruritus




Sometimes the itching is caused by foreign agents and damages that these foreign substances caused to your body, but do you know something? That’s not it all, You can have itching even if you don’t have anything about foreign agents, it’s kind of brain’s confusing, for example, people that for some reason have lost a part of their body says that they have a itching in that side that they don’t have anything.
So that means that itching is not only for something noxious to our body but the organism by itself generate an stimulation just for say to the brain that something weird is happening.

Freedom speech?

It was around 1996. Mexico was having hard times with the government, the society felt so alone and disappinted with the last President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. He left the nation with a BIG external debt, and the devaluation upon the country too.

Media just was manipulating information. The politican party named PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) was in the power over 30 years. So, Mexico was inmeresed in a social pain. Everybody was afraid to speak, and what I said before even the media doesn't gave the right information. Then a garage band (underground band?) appears in scene, daring to government, daring to media with their lyrics. Mexican prudishness was shaken by them. That band is called MOLOTOV. They han been censured, blocked, boycott by citizens asociations in Spain. Their music wasn't sutil and that was the point. They were very irreverent,sarcastics, saying bad words, and they still are so far. Their music was about to show to the world that everything we supposed to know or belive is wrong. They said what everybody said but nobody dared to say it. They had the advantage that they were the first to say "I think/believe this about the government, media, woman, friends" and they just said it.


At beginning, media wasn't wanting sell their album by their lyrics, but then they become in the "apple" most wished by label records, and the anwers was not only for the quality music but social-politican factors too.


Now we have to answer something, who is controlling whom?
As we said in class, Freedom Speech vs Capitalism.

This band is good example about how freedom speech was used by them to say what people tried for long time. Plus, they said how media was in control by the government.

There are 7 canons in Journalism, two of its says Responsability, and Freedom of press. We don't must have preferences pressing politican parties, we have to keep a balance, and we must have responsaliblity of saying the real, and objetive news, no matter what. But obviusly it has to be regulated too.

That's the reason that host from Univision [Hispanic TV network in USA] Jorge Ramos left Mexico in 1980's.


Here are some lines of Molotov lyrics (translated into english, I don't know if it has sense in english, but i will try to give a meaning without losing the essence in the attempt).

"Because we weren't born where there's not anything to eat, we don't have to ask what we gonna do, and if they treat us like a lazy bastards, we aren't. Hurray for Mexico motherf****s... we have to tied our bind because we all are brother,and we have strenght, why are you following that bunches of as**oles? that are carrying you wherever they want, and is our hard work that makes them live better, it makes them eat our food, that food owns to from our people..." Molotov-gimme the power



"D*mn Jacobo traitor, you hide news to our country, you receive tips from Carlos Salinas, you send to adverstising while you just change the message, then you got news and you judges people on air or live... He lies to everybody, don't let him lie to you, don't let Jacobo makes you a fool... there is a host who work in Televisa (TV network) that f***k you up with his lies, he changes the numbers to all the frauds and tax evations..."
Molotov, Que no tehaga bobo jacobo (Don't let Jacobo makes you stupid).

Orion Constellation

For so long time the stars have been created many questions inside the mind of the man. He has tried to understand the misteries that universe hide. On his way to finding the meaning of the stars he created sotires about it. He put them into groups and gave them names. One of them is called Orion.
Orion appears in autumn-winter season. Other name how people is called him is The Hunter (it names referes from a Greek mithologhy). Orion is accompanied by his faithful dogs, Canis major and Canis minor.
Many people confuse two words, Astronomy and Astrology. I talk in terms of Astronomy, I don't care Astrology. I like to be in the night sky, talk with God. It's just like that.
I recommended put it your I-pod and listening Enigma songs, and if you can get "A posteriori" album is going to be better, that music helps to enjoy it better, it makes you feel that you are in the Universe and watching everything with your own eyes. Well, it works for me.

Ambigram

I like everything about the symbols, enigmas, and how things in the world are working, I'm just curios about that. And that feeling made me to find this stuffs named Ambigrams. An ambigram is a graphical where you can see pictures, or words in both sides, even if it's up-down or left-right. Sometimes an ambigram can be in 3-D.

I found one that I really liked and I wanted to share it.

2012

We have known about all those things that people say about 2012. Last year a movie was released about that. The movie was called "2012". Well, I was especting more about this movie, anyways.
I just laughed about what media says about this, about what peolple think, all those comments in blogs, in videos in youtube, even books have been written about this. Nobody knows about what will happen in the future, and probably that is the fear in us, just being waiting for it, trying to know something that we don't know or comprehend.
Some people says that it will be the end of the world, the humand kind. others says that is gonna be a big change, something like a new age. Many others just doesn't matter. Yesterday i was reading something in facebook: "I survived to the 1999, 06-06-06, 09-09-09, H1N1 flu, so 2012 come on, i'll be waiting for you" It just made me laugh and i clicked to "I like It"



I put this song. It talks about the end of an age. And this note makes me remeber this song.

5:13 "In five billion years the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our Milkyway. A new and gigantic cosmic world will be born"

CREED [Music]





I just want to say that I love this band. I remember the day when I found the Human clay album underneath the driver's seat of a friend's car. Then I listened for first time and I loved it.
The last year Creed reunite again and they released a new Album: Full Circle. Well, the album is good but i prefer the old CREED stuffs. I just want to say something about a song in this album.
The song starts with an acoutic guitar. Wooow!!! That Em, D and C chords are so insane, then Scott starts singing. Drum and the bass are doing their job so good. Lyrics are so deep, for me is a bit of hard to understand it all.
The chorus is speechles "This time i have nothinf left to loose... without any choose i move on, Hey time you're no friend of mine!"
There is a part that i REALLY love: The bridge in this song, it has harmonics and more arpeggios.
I hope if you are reading this note you can listen the song too. Probably you will find more emotions. I can't tell you with words because the music is subjetive. Just listen it.

Massacre in Tamaulipas

The last August 27 i was just watching some TV news in the house when i heard something about a massacre in Mexico. It was like a horror movie. They where talking about 72 bodies found in Tamaulipas Mexico, a drug cartel called "LOS ZETAS" kill them all because they refused to be hired killer for them. Just only one survived and he tell the story. All those people were from Brazil, Costa Rica, San Salvador, Honduras an Guatemala.

I was searching for some news in CNN, CBS, New , and Univision (Hispanic media oulet) and I found what they talk about this new.

CNN - CNN focus his article about what Mexican government is doing against the drug cartel and they give some statistics about it.

CBS - Says that it is the biggest massacre to date in Mexico's drug war, and the violence drugs surged when the President Felipe Calderon put soldiers and federal police in the northern of Mexico and the pacific coast since 2006.

UNIVISION – They talk about the families of all those died people, and they put some words about a survivor of this massacre.


Well I was surprised about what this media outlet says about this new. Some focused in things that are relevant for other and I can find what the people think about happened in Mexico.

CREED - Time

I can't explain
Can't quite put my finger on it
The difference that makes us so different
We've said everything
Our words only betrayed us
Nothing is left nothing was left unsaid

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time that I speak my mind
Its about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you're no friend of mine

You cover yourself you cover your skin
You cover yourself like you cover your sin
Please untie my hands
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand

This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Its about time that I speak my mind
Its about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine



Will you be there
To catch when I stumble when I fall
When I fall
Its so very clear
You left me when I had no one at all
No one at all

Who will be there
To catch me when...


...Time you're no friend of mine
