SPAGHETTI A LA SEMIGUARRERIA
Se cogen los spaghetti y se hierven, mientras tanto se pone a calentar una sarten y se le echan la mitad de las guarrerias que tengas en la nevera, como bacon, nata, huevos, una pizca de vino tinto, se mezcla todo se salpienta y añade queso rallado....................rico rico y con mucho fundamento. El perejil es opcional pero es recomendable porque es verdura y hay que comer sano
WOMEN ARE MUCH MORE TOCAHUEVOS THAN MEN
According to this USA today piece of news, men apologize less than women, but the interesting question is the reason, mere are a lot less "tocahuevos" than women and don´t get mad for minimal things..............as say for example a man touching our ass :-)
De acuerdo con esta noticia del USA today, los hombres piden menos disculpas que las mujeres, pero es porque basicamente creen que no han ofendido, al igual que se sienten ofendidos en menos casos que las mujeres y no anda hinchando las bolas por cualquier menudencia.

EL TIMO DE LA ESTAMPITA DOMICILIARIA
Most of the offers for making money working from home, are just scams. Watch out, don´t believe in pretty rich little angels, and specially don´t paid in advance for them............

EL CORAZON TAMBIEN MATA A LAS MUJERES
Algo que me ha sorprendido, pensaba que las mujeres tenian sensiblemente menos problemas coronarios, pero al parecer mueren debido a los problemas derivados del corazon en una proporción similar a los hombres, tabaco, hipertension y diabetis los mayores inductores.........
English version
Seems women death from heart problems in a similar proportion to men, according to recent studies. Diabetics hypertension and smoking have a role in that

LA LEO, LEY ELECTORAL ORANGUTANICA
Resulta que en Venezuela la oposición ha sacado apenas 100.000 votos menos que el chavizmo venezolano (de unos 10 millones totales) pero 33 diputados menos que los casi 80 del chavizmo. La cosa se debe a que recientemente aprobaron una nueva ley electoral. La LEO favorece a Chavez claro.......................pero me da que el resultado es el principio del fin para el elemento este. Sintomática la falta de respuesta y ataques a la pregunta de una periodista de como era eso posible

UN MILLIBAND SI PERO EL ERRONEO
Deciamos hace un rato que el partido laborista elegia entre Milliband y el sucidio...........hizo ambas cosas, eligió a Ed Milliband, el hermano pequeño de David con mucha menor capacidad de ganar la batalla al partido conservador, menos capacidad de pactar con los laboristas y mas probabilidades de darse una buena leche electoral en un futuro. Los partidos ingleses tienen una especial tendencia a elegir mal el lider tras perder elecciones en las ultimas decadas, y parece que la racha sigue. Buena noticia para Cameron. Todo es posible en cualquier momento, y si el chico sorprendio hasta aqui puede seguir haciendolo, y tonto desde luego parece que no es. Pero esto apunta a que será muy muy dificil que los laboristas vuelvan a ganar dentro de 4 años y tambien dificil que pacten con el partido liberal, algo que podrían haber hecho más facilmente con David
We said some hours ago that Labour Party in England was about to pick David Milliband or suicide themselves standing apart from power for some 8 years at least..............they elected Ed, David brother´s who must be the person must pissed off in England right now, he had a serious change of became prime minister in some years...........and now this is pretty much gone, because in a future moment of Ed being forced to leave the labour lidership (after loosing elections) few people would be supporting another Milliband. Ed have much more difficult achieve a electoral victory in coming years or reach an agreement with liberals to reach power that his brother, but at 40 what he have is time..........for now. Time will tell, but looks pretty much a lost decade has started for labour party.

WALL STREET II
Went to see Wall Street II yesterday, is not as good as first one, by far. The main character is not Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) , as I was writing this I recall than in fact he wan´t the main character also in the first Wall Street, it was Charly Seen, formidable interpretation that time, already 23 years ago (time runs fast eh!). Anyway best of the film is Michael Douglas interpretation and Character, besides the history of the 2008 crisis with the inner fight between wall street clans that led to the bankruptcy of Lehman but later rescue of several better connected financial institutions with an enormous package of money coming from the normal people to those with millions of dollars in bonus and salaries that resulted being paid for the taxes of people wining a few thousands. Also interesting the moral differentiation between money well invested (now is green energy) and bad investing (greed money for wining money). What would probably had been different some 10 years ago when the morally well invested money went to allow people without much incomes to buy houses trough risky lending instruments....................... part of the bubble that burst a couple of year ago.Parecido en español ahora, fui a ver Wall Street II, mucho mas debil que su antecesora la muy interesante Wall Street the 1987 protagonizada por Charly Seen y Michael Douglas. Lo mejor de está nueva version es precisamente el papel de este ultimo. La pelicula toca aparte de una historia de amor muy pastelera y previsible, el tema de la codicia y el desmadre financiero del 2008, año en que se pinchó la famosa burbuja inmobiliaria lo que dio paso al Credit Cruch y a la crisis economica actual. Rollo moralista pero bastante bien tocado, presenta mas o menos lo bueno y correcto como invertir en energia verde y lo malo pues todo lo demás, invertir para ganar dinero como cochinos capitalistas............. que es basicamente lo que hacen los productores de peliculas por otra parte. Se toca con otros nombres la historia de Lehman y como se le dejo caer mientras que unos meses despues los banqueros mejor conectados lograron arrancar casi un billon de dolares (a trillion in american terms) del dinero del americano medio que paga impuestos para sostener sus bancos quebrados y seguir viviendo con salarios y bonus de decenas de millones mientras los multimillonarios ricos financieros como Buffet et all salvaban sus inversiones con lo que pueden seguir predicando a las masas como hacerse ricos, deja vu.................. lo que no queda claro es si el tema se ha solventado del todo...............en cualquier caso al igual que antes o despues habrá otra burbuja, probablemente habra Wall Street III

BONDS BILL NOTES
United States is probably the safer borrower in the world. United States has never default on a loan or debt agreement. So they don´t have much of a problem to get all the money they need to borrow. The difference is in the price, interestly enough for a profane in economic terms, now in troubled times, with big deficit and a lot of borrowing the interest rates that USA has to pay for the money the take is relativity small. Why is that? Because in troubled times people, governments, business and other organizations tend to look for safe heavens to their money. So they lend the United States of America.
There´s a web site called Treasury Direct where you can find information about lending money to the US open an account and get rid of the fees and commissions the middlemen charge. You can easily have an account and invest directly getting paid according to the agreement and results of the auctions that are frequently hold. I don´t know if the account holding is only for American citizens (probably) but you can for sure easily invest in USA treasuries (that's the name for the American bonds) in different ways, if your country allows it.
What makes me a lot of fun is this site in destined to kids..............they want the young people get used to lend money to the government from the very beginning of your economic life............or even sooner............... some expect the state to need money borrowing for long.

He´s probably also the most generous in absolute terms (though of course is not the best way of measure generosity)

USA outperforme it in wealth generation for the period 1960-1995. Don´t have actual charts but correlation keeps similar. Acording to world bank data from wikipedia in 2009 Sweden gdp per capita was some 77 % of USA, almost a quarter below
OBAMA TROUBLED TIMES
Obama has a lot of tough work lately.
Several economic high members of the administration are quiting (or being forced to) Romer and Summers the most significant of them. Funny thing the much questioned, Gheitner, keeps the job............... guess with so many difficulties to appoint one in the past, the president doesn´t want to start headhunting again.
Polls point to a November outcome where democrats can loose control of senate and maybe congress
Popularity of the president is plummeting
On the international side, relations with China are not great about the yuan, Europe seems to be out of Obama focus, the Afghan question is rising comments of americans fed up of dying in a country they don´t know where is, not very relevant for them and with very little odds or wining and reaching a stable situation there in the short run.
This are trouble times for Obama, why? because he´s the president of the United States, and we are living troubled times worldwide.............

LA COSITA ECONOMICA
Long since I wrote last about economy. Trying to write this post in english, as I´m thinking of a more international approach. Want to make post short so mention:
- Clouds over recuperation. We´d been living 2010 with good growth in most of the big economies and areas, but suddenly things don´t look that clear............ some advanced indicators as purchasing manage index (pmi) , business confidence and international shipping are showing we may have already peaked and started some way down for the short term.
- USA is the focus, as most of the time the biggest world economy is the reference, if they get off the trail Europe is going to follow soon and both combined are the big chunk of the world economy. The picture now is the growth is dimming, unemployment is high restraining the consume capacity. The FED is shouting they would do what it takes (lot and lot of money printing) but would this be enough? At this very moment the most probable scenario is a slow growth for some 2, 3 quarters unemployment and deficits keeping high. Surprises to the upside or downside are very probably.
- Asia is a star on the rise, with some 4 billion population concentrates around 60 % of the world inhabitants. The biggest economies there are Japan and China, a rich stagnant country the first and a fast growing power and economy the second. China as well as India account for most of the world economy global growth in the last decade. This two countries alone concentrate a third of the word population and both are growing at good rhythm in what seems to be a structural change.............. so Asia is growing and will continue a good pace, whatever happen in the west side.............but Japan and Corea , 1 and 4 asian economies are developed economies and behave more coordinated with US and Europe, so we will probably assist to a weakening of growth there.
So in brief, we are not bad, because we are growing but the outlook is highly uncertain, pains of past recession unemployment and deficit are going to star around for a while. Though times!

EL CAMARADA MENDEZ PARTIDARIO DEL MILEURISMO
Es mas facil criticar que dar trigo, este articulo de El Economista nos cuenta como la UGT pide carrera e idiomas para trabajar de secretaria/o u asistente por menos de mil euros al mes. Conocì gente que trabajaba para el sindicato hace 10 años y no tenia congtrato fijo, le renovaban los contratos por obras en una clara vulneracion del espiritu de la ley que tanto critican cuando lo hacen otros. Los sindicatos, trufados de progres muy pasados de moda, cerrando la entrada a nuevas ideas y gente màs preparada con un terrible tufo a compincheo politico son otro de los canceres economicos de està sociedad. A si al menos esta terrible etapa nos siver para libramos de dos males por el precio de uno..................
THE WORLD WIDE WEB LANGUAGE METDOWN
La fusion linguistica de la www se està acelerando gracias a la capacidad de procesado de los nuevos cacharros y la multiplicacion de fuentes abiertas como repositorio del conocimiento de lenguajes. Hay muchos y buenos traductores online gratuitos disponibles y un creciente numero de aplicaciones para apender o mejorar la utilizacion del ingles.
Voy a mencionar una de ellas, Text to Voice, un add-on para Firefox que permite seleccionar texto de una pagina web y dando a un boton del comando derecho del raton escuchar como lo lee una robotizada pero correcta voz femenina o masculina segun preferencias. Una ayuda para mejorar la pronunciaciòn que en mi caso es horrible. Cool!!!
