Hillsborough Brazilian Waxing

Pluja Constant, of Pau Miró

Few, rarely comes to visit the theater this space. Not because the rippers not going to this show that almost costs less than a evening of popcorn and movies and, moreover, always promises interesting things. Or laughter, or thoughts or talk back home at night. Therefore, because we often, it is important to make the effort to translate this stage works so well made as " Pluja Constant."

This work is being displayed in the room The Villarroel in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bled by Pau Miró . The libretto is by Keith Huff and has been a hit in U.S. going to be represented from Chicago to Los Angeles or Broadway. Here we get no change of atmosphere or adaptations of the script local culture as long as the globalization of American cultural imagination makes us understood any of the items represent.

The thriller genre or American-style thriller is not quite reflected in the tables. It is not unusual to see a play about a story of police and, despite what you think about the theatrical art, representing the action of a so exciting. In times of 3D and other currencies, to enjoy and cringe at the seat of printing a play means that someone does a great job.

And if you stop to think that there are only two actors on stage. Joel and Joan Pere Ponce, two acquaintances of the TV cameras are planted in the skin of the policemen Danny and Joey, an Irish-Italian-American and the Irish never cease to be Irish to become Americans. Between the two of them tell the classic story of cops slums of an American city in decline during the 70's. A history of Starsky & Hutch .

Joey and Danny are both children of immigrants who have grown up in the slums of Chicago. They locked up a friendship that continues to this moment we have to two characters, adults, with peers in the police force in the city. Joey-Pere Ponce-, Irish, no family. Vive grabbed the bottle, disappointed because he always denied promotion to detective and his partner physical shadow. Danny, Joel Joan, has a wife and two children, a big house where we watch TV with his family an unorthodox way to practice their profession and the only problem of finding an outlet for the life of his friend Joey. From here we will be entering a mixed story where infidelity, prostitution, drugs and a missed shot.

In the American version the actors who represented the work were Daniel Craig -Joey and Pere Ponce, and Hugh Jackman -Danny and Joel Joan. I do not know to what extent these actors were able to do on stage all that the two actors during the performance Catalans did last night. The play is told based on monologues or short dialogues between two characters. They alone are capable of telling the story, do you imagine all the characters, which, though you're sitting in a chair listening to you tell a story in the past, jump restless and you shudder to situations of tension represent us.

Joel Joan, an actor aroused so much sympathy and hatred, is great. Being himself is capable of making you feel the pain through her body twisting, to see how the decay is making its way through your body. Pere Ponce is at or more than him. Two additional players who play different roles and evolve during the performance. Even in a given time, are capable of playing two voices one rock left in the worst place to many of the so-called artists of the song.

Beyond the history and excellent representations of Ponce and Joan, the work leaves the bitter aftertaste that comes after the defeat. A loss that comes when the circle of life becomes a downward spiral and the character is unable to put a stop to his downfall. Something that is so scary because everyone is always very near the abyss that reflects our history. What happens is that steps are always those who cling in the middle of the fall, steps that can be called family, savings or social security. Constant Pluja is the story of two hands that cling to a number of steps during a fall, and the story of how, one by one, with respectful gap, they are broken, leaving a vacuum as the only witness to the tragedy.

How Does Pregnancy Affect Hip Tattoos

Harry, Revised by Mark Sarvas

Before across the Atlantic, people who had sent me to think that with that title, the book had something to do with me. After five years writing under the same pseudonym, those that I have read, or even those who know me, I identify more under the name of Harry, that myself or the diminutive. Undoubtedly, those who sent me and as I indicated in the dedication, thought of me when I saw the library shelf. A Harry, Revised can not speak but a person who is continuously revised, as I have the habit of doing in my personal blog. With my background and the chance of the title of the book, I guess that was the motivation than my good friends was enough to buy it and send me to Nicaragua.

Needless to say, I have a bad habit to read my books in one sitting. In this case it was two days because I do not know what happened, I had to stop reading, I went to bed and I had to leave for the next day. Despite my voracious reading, the book can be read quite well and could even say that I had read in an afternoon, if not, as I said before, because I had to stop reading.

Before you start reading it, I took a while to find out who had written it. Apparently, its author is a blogger Mark Sarvas very famous in the U.S., and this is his first novel. I guess it's the dream of some bloggers, to see published on paper what one writes. I say guess, because sometimes I plan to write something for me to publish it, but I'm too vague and inconsistent to complete a similar project, every time I go from one idea to another, I have difficulties with paragraphs and a tendency to repeat myself. It seems that Marc Savas has done it and began to write, I suppose also encouraged by the success of his blog, the succulent offerings from publishers eager to see new talent 2.0 and the occasional groupie compliment any blogs. To be your first attempt, it has not gone wrong, it has been translated into several languages \u200b\u200band has had good sales. The case is that it reads well, is fun and has some black humor.

On the plot, saying that this is a guy named Harry, who hours after the death of his wife, starts flirting with a waitress. Harry, who wants ligársela knows that being himself is not going to get anything for nothing, and is reinventing itself, following the model of the Count of Monte Cristo. During the course of the novel, Harry is reviewing the stormy relationship with his wife and defining the strategy to woo the waitress, which leads to absurd situations and bizarre. Harry's previous life, based on the lies that continue to drive their marital relationship, give way to a new life that will define through its review and processing to a new person.

I can say that at times I identified with the character and at other times deeply hated it so pathetic and petty it is. However, if something is good is that Harry gives up and tries to change anything that made you unhappy in their previous existence.

who have wondered what happened to Harry and why is revised to read it. Here we always encourage you to read, although we have enjoyed the book, and this time, yes it has. Again, thank my dear friend send me this book, which I enjoyed, despite letting me read in one sitting.

Bushnell Legend 5-15x40

Jernigan by David Gates

Choose a book by its cover. Everyone knows that this technique has a very high risk. But at the moment of truth, we all do. Moreover, some of them even choose a book by its cover properly. Damn editors happy! In this game, of Asteroid Books takes the cake. Covers like Street Station, 120 inevitably make you throw your reading. Furthermore, when the story follows, as in the Leo Malet book, everything looks perfect.

But either way, sometimes it is hit. Or at least not entirely. That happens with Jernigan of David Gates . This 67 year old American was able to publish at 44 his first novel and get her to be a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1991. The novel won a book of characters and losers, both of which are particularly valued in contemporary American literature. The way to tell the story of David Gates is addictive, entertaining and fast stroke. But the story does not hold expectations about him were created.

Jernigan is the name of the protagonist of this story of self-destruction. From a high social and cultural spheres, has a special relationship with alcohol that completely dominates their vital status, and dominated his wife. With memories of the family tragedy experienced by him and his son, Jernigan was launched to try to get your life in the only way he knows how: by doing nothing and hoping that everything will be resolved alone. His appetite for life and his disregard for his teenage son, Danny, and all that surrounds it seems that miraculously is being rewarded by being suddenly transformed into a new head of household. However, Jernigan is someone capable be destroyed many times in a row and an even faster pace than expected.

As can be seen, Jernigan character is the epitome of modern American literature today. Something that works commercially many times but that literally is much more complex. Only a drunk, but with a very high cultural level that allows the author to demonstrate cuantísimo cultural level is through the inclusion in the story of several references to pop culture or literature. Jernigan, the character is simply the means by which David Gates has been used to show off all that culture is at the margins of the mass and that he loves or simply funny. And so it seems, works to the extent that the publisher has opened up a My Space the novel itself. All book reviews are very good, but in reality it costs to move from approval.

Moreover, Jernigan is a drunk who, as such, is not sane enough to understand and meet your fellow story-his son Danny, his new partner and her daughter-have more problems than it. It is a type-loser by nature, you can drop nice at first, but that will not bear long story, becoming unbearably tedious.

As we say, is a fun book that is well told in a funny way that causes an addiction to reading large enough to fight him a few more minutes sleep each night.

Post Bunion Operation Heels

Six suspects, Vikas Swarup

trance Exit the first success is proof that not everyone knows bear. When he was just 11 years old I got a 10 in mathematics, a discipline traditionally , if you can talk about traditions if you have only 11 years, was not mine. Perhaps because suddenly I found the logic, perhaps because someone could explain me well or because stars aligned in a special way. Whatever it was, 10 in mathematics, the first caused unbearable pressure before the next test. That the following note was 8 came as a shock. The note was good, better than the average of the previous reviews, but the fall of the drawer of perfection made me taste like dust. In any case, the pressure to stay on excellence had fallen and with that freedom I could spend studying as usual and forget about the stars.

So I can understand what had to be the writing of Six suspects to Vikas Swarup. The Indian diplomat profession is not novel. It's more a hobby, historically widely shared by members of the diplomatic career, which ended by farm a success and global visibility. With his first novel Slumdog Millonare or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? , received all sorts of praise. The success of the film based on the novel made them multiply their sales. And before that 10, Swarup continued writing.

Six suspects is his second novel and stars, again, in India today. Yes, the protagonists are six, as the title suggests, Swarup but he wanted to teach all corners of India through them. This last sentence, which could be the slogan of any travel document certain appeal, it becomes the worst slab that could be made to this novel. Swarup is determined to take us to places and situations that force the story of the six suspects unnaturally. One has the feeling, while reading, that there are pages and pages where we have lost the time just to tell anecdotal. As an account of any enlightened solidarity that becoming unemployed decides to go to India to find himself and makes you say "poor but as good people," Swarup is responsible to show that the poor often are not fools and that poverty often has many faces. Interesting bit trite and archetypal, I notice.

But if we are to fully evaluate Six suspects will be forced to look beyond these blunders typical of a writer who, despite age and despite the success of initial public is beginning in this of the novel. The story it tells is a good detective story. A man, rich, powerful and corrupt, has been murdered in his house during the celebration of a party and the Indian police have detained six people present in it and carrying a weapon. From here, Swarup tells the stories of the six suspects in an original and attractive.

On the one hand we have a mobile thief in the slums of the city. Her story is presented in the present tense and first person, as if we were inside his head. The second suspect is the father of the murdered. This character is the Minister of Interior of an Indian state, corrupt politician and murderer on their own. His story is told through the conversations he has with many followers, leaders and other political figures and the Indian underworld. And we have two.

The female of the plot is one of the stars of Bollywood, who know through his diary. As a counterpoint, we have a native of a small island in the Indian newcomer to the continent and absolutely fascinated and dazzled by civilization, whose story is told in the classical and correct. Van and four.

The last two positions of the suspects shared an American who represents the deepest part of the United States, Texas and redneck, who by a series of coincidences come to India soon to start a new life, and whose expressions countryside I will mourn with laughter and an old secretary of the Indian ministry, vicious and evil which, by a series of coincidences, he has introduced the spirit of Gandhi's personality causing him problems.

addition, the novel is divided into several blocks of chapters that make it exciting. On one side are the chapters on "Presentation", which would become the traditional 'approach. " After explaining the "Mobile" each of the suspects, one by one, the "knot." And finally, the "Showdown", through which are played with money and little recontragiros contragiros and expected to end final.

A dilapidante Despite the criticism of the novel that has been done at the beginning of this entry, Swarup's book is recommended, especially for those who like crime novels to use. If a little disappointed is simply because we know positively that you have a little better care of the account details which are absolutely unnecessary, the aftertaste of his reading would have been very different. As it is, you end up thinking that reading sometimes has had to make an excessive effort for the awards that offers the end. But either way, you can enjoy and at the end reading each of the phones, the game thinking about how and who has been murdering the dead is really fun-which is the minimum that you can ask a detective novel.

may not be a book for a 10, as sales gained acceptance in his first novel, but Six suspects is a book of between 6 and 7, just above the average of others that were written by professional literature. What is not bad for a diplomat.

Naughtiest Strip Club In America

Cold Skin by Albert Sánchez Piñol

There are books to which it is difficult to come precisely because all the praise we have heard about them. " The Heart of Darkness Catalan," he called. An adventure book capable of circumventing the puritanical moral complacency Western mentality of the early twenty-first century. And so forth. But in addition, the whispers about books that we all get told that Cold Skin, by Albert Sánchez Piñol was a story exciting, scary and shocking that left you stuck to your seat from the outset. Too much praise for daring to him like that. Too many previous disappointments to bear a new one. Thus, accumulating fear of disappointment, copy cold skin became smaller and smaller within the shelf. He was losing weight rapidly in favor of other readings that promised less and that therefore, their disappointment would be lower.

But as always in this life, in the end you end up deciding, let's look at that brunette who sits on the fourth row of Regional Ethnology class-for example-and closer to his ear telling him that during months have you thinking that you say have the courage. You may release the slap. You may not ignore. Or even tell you a story exciting, a moral and psychological fable you still have several weeks after thinking about it. Sánchez Piñol's that dark.

skin cold, critical eye award of RNE , begins with atmospheric officer arriving by boat to a remote South Atlantic island. The island, in the form of L and only a few square kilometers, is uninhabited and only two buildings: a lighthouse built on one end and a technical-enabled home, on the other. The coach has come to spend an entire year of solo work by measuring the intensity and wind direction at a time where there are no computers or phones. It is a job for someone who is fleeing from something and who is not afraid of himself.
However
rush events. The technician must share the island with a resident Lighthouse, shy and not given to dialogue. And it must also survive them.

them This is the real theme of the novel. Many, more than anyone ever could have imagined, and have unexplained reasons. Barbarians and savages sometimes, other Cartesian logic, no longer insist on their efforts against these strange inhabitants of the island. Do not give a single break in the mind of the coach, who tries to interpret reality with all the principles that went into the trunk of luggage.

Sánchez Piñol is an anthropologist and expert in African realities through the Centre d'Estudis Africans of Barcelona. The symmetries between the conquest of the island by these two characters and the colonization of Africa or the speeches of the colonial encounter and barbarism are evident. There are many points of reflection on the interpretation of other -or in this case they - through European views. It is for this reason that compares the novel with the brilliant work of Conrad. The technician is the equivalent to atmospheric character named Conrad Marlow, while the surly keeper can detect traces of a Kurtz away from civilization for so long that it is incapable to re-think like her.

Obviously the work of Sánchez Piñol nor a copy of Conrad nor has the extent of it. However, the moral disquisition and meeting that are common to both, cold skin adds a human element of desire, fear and revenge. This story puts us in the shoes of atmospheric technical and makes us understand the twists at the beginning so utterly inconceivable and surprising, that his mind and ends up providing, teaching us how desire is the most potent weapon, that open war, fighting continues and does not grant any relief to the mind.

After reading, a reading that is difficult to give notice and the images of terror, tenderness and moral arguments he has given us the book are hard to forget. It is difficult to talk about this exciting story without decoding any more of the exciting plot, so just add that we will never look the same eyes a cat flap [glups]. Enjoy it.

Nausea Day After Flu Vaccine

José Antonio Labordeta, 1935-2010


On Sunday September 19 died José Antonio Labordeta, songwriter, journalist, author and renowned political. Aragon was able to think of traditionalism from a leftist position. Was able to grab a journalist to rural Spain before there was any thing as rural tourism. He was someone with dignity, a fighter who refused to lose because they belonged to the losing side. DEP.
