I´ll watch the video, gracias! :)

We were somehow collectivily busy in the city these days dealing with water, wind, the roads cuts, the lack of energy and denuncias about the province government´s security area being victim of autism & conspiracies or being a partner of narcotrafic ... (sadly all options seem possible at the same time... :shock: ).

I´ve been googling about the vulture funds and different names appeared related, people that at the same time have web sites running about their actual "legal" enterprises ... it´s a curious world, indeed!!!! :roll: And yeah, of course, our president formally fucked them in our name, don´t worry...! :lol: :wink:

the government is spreading information about another vultures´s local presas (no, it´s not a chapter of Animal Planet...) :

"Hasta el embargo de la fragata Libertad, los fondos buitres lograron trabar embargos contra 28 bienes del Estado nacional. En todos los casos, el Estado argentino recuperó el bien embargado sin haber negociado jamás con los fondos buitres", manifestó.

Timerman detalló que entre estos bienes embargados y recuperados están la casa del general José de San Martín en Boulogne-sur-Mer, Francia; residencias y sedes diplomáticas argentinas en Estados Unidos; el avión presidencial "Tango 01", activos del Banco Nación en Estados Unidos y hasta un satélite desarrollado por Argentina. También mencionó en esta lista reservas del Banco Central depositadas en Estados Unidos y en Suiza y cuentas de representaciones diplomáticas en Alemania, Francia y Bélgica.

& it seems Ann Romney & the vultures are good friends and our president is Obama-friendly... :roll:

I knew yesterday about the hurricane in eastern Cuba ... I guess lot of things had the opportunity to fly at winds at 175 km p. hour there... I hope they recover soon ... :(

I dig that intersection of science and art

our arts and science is what makes us human

art and science
just two words
like Zen and Buddhism

laughing Buddhas keep me from floating away
if I could not be the beauty I would be long gone from here.

Vultures and 'Genesis Angels' and
'Angel Headed Hipsters

Vultures that feed on dead flesh we have no fear
vultures that feed on on symbols are another matter
I feel like going honky tonking when I think about filthy lucre.


I get the Hank Williams Sr. meta-fiscal blues when I think about the vultures that roost in sky scrapers





don't mean nothin
Just a go
first thoughts
about the zeitgeist

gracias for your takes on the zeitgeist, s-t! :wink:

yeah, maybe honky-tonking from one symbol´s bar to another waiting for Halloween is a good way to deal with today´s idea of a world in some sort of prerafaelite costumes, who knows ...! :roll:

pardon the sockpuppet I am too lazy to logout and login again from a previous post :oops:

Sounds like a good time, I wish I was there for the fun

8-N and the 7-D are near on 8-N 5 — still trying to work that out—for some reason a dead pigeon comes to mind 8) :)

in the mean time can you crack the code :mrgreen:

A PENSIONER has uncovered a top secret World War II mission after finding a dead carrier pigeon buried in his chimney.

What happens between the government, the mafias and the police in Santa Fe (and in the rest of the country -despite the narcosocialist fervor some national-oficialists diputados showed during the last days...) maybe we need a good Sherlock Holmes or a maybe a good Hamlet, who knows...! :idea: :shock: : sugar in the place of cocaine ... warnings made by mexicans about that in one and a half year we will be the next Ciudad Juárez, fashionable colombian narco dealers living in the country, express-murders ... almost everybody here thinks that is impossible to stop this really, that´s sad and it has a lot of implications ...

I´ll post about the next thursday and friday activities later, and yeah it´s also good to gather for support, music and some food & drinks at this time of the year, sure we´ll have a good time! :D

About democracy, voting in the U.S.A and buddhism (according to the author, of course!). Interesting re-posts, see:

one useful way to interpret any political document or piece of legislation is by first identifying in it the “screwer” and the “screwee,” who always seem present in political affairs.


from the link you posted, it was interesting gracias




I am going to vote tomorrow.

The ronda with the madres de plaza de mayo de Rosario was pure heat at 5 pm, moving and with music included! :D (first time I participate specifically in the jueves´s ronda, they are amazing...!)

thanks to the cosmic weather the temperature dropped yesterday morning without too much damages and the recital at night in the Aserradero was an éxito! (in numbers, artistically and in a human way for all the participantes!) :D .

http://www.el-aserradero.com.ar/

I´ll link videos as soon they are realized for you to wach!. For now a link to Sylvia Zabzuk , the pure-emotion argentine singer and guitarrist we met in Santiago de Cuba thanks to the mate, and who played here yesterday:

http://www.sylviazabzuk.com/

Florencia Ruiz Ferretti, a friend of the travel-group played with her group also as invitated artists, they sounded very well and they were very happy to be there and sharing the place together!!!

now I have to work .... arrghhh ... end of the year, exam times again, etc, etc ... :roll: :lol:

mmm.... Gardel again as tapa of today´s pagina12? :P

http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpai ... 11-12.html

I finalized to make the written final evaluations (wich I consider redundant and limitating at this point of the year) and I´m alredy tired of them ... I hope I reconsider the situation & my humor change somehow a bit because in some days I have to "corregir" the 108 exams... :shock: . And the students, well..., they are also in the middle of all these... and the parents chapter is waiting in line in two or three weeks ... :roll: (yeah, I know, I already passed for it before... :? )

The kids began to do the exams and said that they were "more or less easy to do" ... maybe it was a sort of compliment! :lol: :wink: .
When I reached the school today there was an special "revuelo" in the teacher´s room: "the police was here some minutes ago"... I asked if someone had destroyed or robbed the place during the night (as it already happenned several times...) but the quick answer was "no!"... it seems that when the porteros and directors arrived early in the morning they found at the entrance of the kindergarden section (on the vereda zone) two misterious boxes wrapped in red ... and they thought they could be an explosive (some of us still have seventies minds...) but surprise! inside it was an umbanda-like sort of rite ... it´s the second time that happens... we must have some practitioner in the surroundings who must enjoy doing outdoors callings to the orixas or something like that .... :?:

enough I guess for a tuesday 13th on a solar eclipse ...
