<description><![CDATA[O Papa João Paulo II (1920-2005) ficou ferido num ataque realizado por um padre armado com uma faca]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/7056/papajoaopaulo2pngtn4.png" alt="" width="195" height="253" /><span class="texto14">O Papa João Paulo II (1920-2005) ficou ferido num ataque realizado por um padre armado com uma faca durante a sua primeira visita a Fátima, no ano de 1982. A revelação foi feita hoje no Vaticano pelo seu antigo secretário pessoal, o Cardeal Stanislaw Dziwisz.O actual Arcebispo de Cracóvia falava durante a apresentação do documentário "Testimony" (Testemunho), narrado pelo actor britânico Michael York, uma versão cinematográfica das memórias publicadas pelo Cardeal Dziwisz no ano passado. No entanto, a produção apresenta algumas novidades.</p>
<p>No caso do ataque de Fátima, que ficou registado pelo programa «70x7», os ferimentos de João Paulo II só agora são tornados públicos.</p>
<p>Na peregrinação de 1982 à Cova da Iria, o padre espanhol Fernandez Krohn logrou aproximar-se de João Paulo II armado com um punhal. Krohn pertencia a uma comunidade de católicos integristas, opositores da orientação do Vaticano, que consideravam demasiado liberal.</p>
<p>"Eu posso revelar agora que o Santo Padre ficou ferido. Quando voltamos para o seu quarto (no complexo do Santuário de Fátima), havia sangue", diz o Cardeal polaco no documentário.</p>
<p>O Papa realizou o trajecto sem revelar que tinha sido ferido. Krohn foi julgado e condenado por tentativa de homicídio no Tribunal de Ourém e seria expulso de Portugal em 1985, após cumprir pena.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">En este año (IV d.78) sucedieron algunas cosillas interesantes (o no), pero que voy a detallar antes de extenderme con lo verdaderamente interesante: EL MUNDIAL'82.<br />
- Marruecos inicia el reclamo formal por la soberanía de Ceuta, Melilla y otras islas deshabitadas como la Isla Perejil....... Y ahí siguen.<br />
- El 11 de enero se promulga el Estatuto de Autonomía del Principado de Asturias, COMUNIDAD AUTÓNOMA ANDALUZA y Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria.<br />
- El 18 de febrero comienza en España el juicio contra los implicados en el golpe de Estado del 23-F.<br />
- El 2 de abril un grupo comando militar argentino toma por la fuerza las Islas Malvinas, lo que desemboca en la Guerra de las Malvinas entre Reino Unido y Argentina.<br />
- El 5 de junio España se incorpora a la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte.<br />
- El 13 de junio se inaugura en Barcelona el Mundial de Fútbol con el partido Argentina - Bélgica (0-1, gol de Vandenbergh).<br />
- El 28 de octubre el PSOE consigue la mayoría absoluta y Felipe González se convierte en Presidente del Gobierno de España.<br />
- El 31 de octubre Juan Pablo II inicia su primera visita a España.<br />
- El 15 de diciembre el gobierno de España abre la verja de Gibraltar y permite el paso peatonal.<br />
- Entra al mercado el disco compacto (CD).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Durante este año nacen algunas personalidades importantes (o no): Portillo, Ferrer, Robredo, Bustamante, Isinbayeva, Pepe Reina, Andy Roddick, Asafa Powell...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pero también nos abandonaron otr@s tan importantes como: Paco Martínez Soria, Carl Orff, Gilles Villeneuve, Henry Fonda, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En deporte el Mundial del 82 fue lo más destacado del año. En este Mundial tod@s tuvimos la suerte de conocer a un personaje que nos ha acompañado desde entonces: NARANJITO.<br />
La pelota oficial era el Adidas Tango España.<br />
Italia ganó el mundial al derrotar a Alemania Federal por 3:1 en la final. Con su tercer título (ganó los mundiales de 1934 y 1938), Italia igualó al también tricampeón Brasil bajo la tutela de jugadores como Paolo Rossi, Dino Zoff, Antonio Cabrini y Marco Tardelli.<br />
Uno de los partidos más memorables del campeonato fue la semifinal entre Alemania Federal y Francia. Se produjo un terrible incidente cuando el guardameta alemán Harald Schumacher le cometió una fuerte falta al jugador francés Patrick Battiston, cuando éste estaba en camino de convertir un gol, dejándolo inconsciente. Los franceses se mostraron atónitos cuando el árbitro no expulsó al arquero y ni siquiera señaló la falta. Sin embargo, el partido también se destacó por sus momentos deportivos. Cuando el partido terminó 1:1, la selección francesa marcó 2 goles durante la prórroga. Sin embargo, los alemanes no se rindieron y marcaron otros dos goles para volver a igualar el partido. La prórroga terminó 3:3, y los alemanes ganaron la definición por penales 5-4, clasificándose nuevamente a una final del torneo.<br />
España se encontraba dentro del grupo E junto a Irlanda del Norte, Yugoslavia y Honduras. Quedamos 2º, tras Irlanda del Norte, con 3 puntos tras empatar ante Honduras (1-1), ganar a Yugoslavia (2-1) y perder ante Irlanda (1-0).<br />
En segunda ronda nos tocó en el mismo grupo Inglaterra y Alemania y... con estos rivales se puede intuir lo que ocurrió: últimos de grupo con un punto conseguido al empatar a cero con Inglaterra y caer 2-1 ante Alemania.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En Cine también hay títulos importantes: Acorralado, Tron, Blade Runner y E.T.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La música no se quedó atrás y prueba de ello son los siguientes títulos o álbumes editados: Dire Straits (Love over Gold), Duran Duran (Rio), Iron Maiden (The Lumber of the beast), Los Chichos (Ni tu, ni yo), Mecano (Mecano).<br />
Os dejo un enlace con el que para much@s ha sido y será el mejor videoclip de la historia de la música (o no):</p>
<p>El bueno</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, non si parla del PD.</p>
<p>Il <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2008/oct/14/brazil-82-joy-of-six">Guardian</a> stila una classifica dei sei più grandi perdenti della storia dello sport. Si tratta di una classifica molto british, visto che al secondo posto c'è <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_White_(snooker_player)">Jimmy White</a>, un campione di snooker, e <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_CCC">una squadra di cricket</a> al numero tre... ma al primo posto c'è <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campionato_mondiale_di_calcio_1982">la nazionale brasiliana di calcio del 1982</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://img.emol40.elmercurio.com/2008/10/14/File_2008101411037.jpg" alt="daniel-muñoz-los-80" width="196" height="286" /></p>
<p><strong>El patriarca de la familia Herrera dice que el programa apela a la objetividad política, para que la gente saque sus conclusiones, y que también tuvo zapatillas North Star.</strong></p>
<p>La crisis económica y política de 1982 encontró a Daniel Muñoz en plena adolescencia, en tercero medio y con la suerte de vivir en San Fernando. Pero eso no lo aisló de los problemas que vivieron gran parte de los chilenos de esa época y que hoy se recuerdan en "Los 80", serie que debutó el domingo con 20,6 puntos de rating, disputándole la audiencia al estelar de Felipe Camiroaga.</p>
<p>En la serie el actor encarna a Juan, el patriarca de los Herrera, una familia de clase media que sufre con los vaivenes del dólar, las compras a crédito y el fracaso de la selección en el Mundial de España. En el primer capítulo se pudo ver cómo Juan se endeuda con un televisor en cuotas y empieza a gastar más de lo que tiene, sin prever lo que se viene y que se verá en las próximas emisiones del programa (domingo, 22:00 horas).</p>
<p><!--more-->Sobre su vida en esos años, Muñoz recuerda: <strong>"Los problemas económicos fueron los más duros de aceptar. Mi madre se hizo cargo de la familia y se esmeró porque nosotros no nos percatábamos de lo que estaba pasando.</strong> Éramos una familia bastante humilde, pero aún así pude estudiar y llegar a la universidad. Soy lo que soy por ese esfuerzo".</p>
<p><strong>-A la serie le fue bastante bien. Parece que no aburre la nostalgia ochentera.</strong></p>
<p>"Sin duda eso fue una gran ayuda. Pero la gente la siguió durante la hora que duró y con lo fluctuante que está el rating, pienso que tiene otros méritos, como el formato en que está hecha y la forma en que está contada. Me gustaría pensar que es eso lo que atrajo al público. Siento que es una opción diferente de lo que se está haciendo en la televisión chilena hoy en día".</p>
<p><strong>-¿Te refieres a algo distinto a sexo y violencia, que son dos temas muy presentes en nuestra TV?</strong></p>
<p>"Claro, esos son temas que a la gente les interesan, pero no son los únicos. Por eso temía que no causara interés. Pero estamos contentos porque se abrió una opción. Al público le gusta este tipo de historia, que tienen que ver más con la emoción, con la nostalgia y no necesariamente con la violencia, el sexo u otros temas también interesantes".</p>
<p><strong>-Los críticos destacan que no se omitieran los temas más duros de esa época, como los problemas económicos y la CNI.</strong></p>
<p>"Volver al pasado siempre es útil para analizar lo que está pasando ahora. Es como una frase hecha pero es verdad. Y no es un pasado tan lejano. Hay mucha gente que estaba viendo el programa que lo vivió. Yo personalmente también lo viví. No es como hablar de la Reconquista y la Independencia. Esto es una opinión personal. Pero a mi gusto, Chile necesita una reconciliación y series como éstas ayudan a entender de una manera, creo yo, objetiva lo que pasaba en una época, que fue causante de esta división.</p>
<p>"Si bien Chile siempre ha sido un país socialmente dividido, la política se sumó a eso y se profundizó esa división. Siento que series como éstas ayudan justamente a darse cuenta y a reconciliarse a través de la nostalgia, a través de seres humanos que viven (estos hechos) sin tener intenciones reales de hacerlo, pero que se ven inmersas en esta vorágine".</p>
<p><strong>-La emisión coincidió con una crisis económica internacional y  elecciones políticas. ¿Qué opinas de eso?</strong></p>
<p><strong>"</strong>Simple coincidencia, porque esta serie se viene trabajando hace muchísimo tiempo. Ahora, que haya coincidido, bueno eso demuestra un poco que las épocas son cíclicas. La naturaleza humana es cíclica, como si no aprendiera de sus errores. O vuelve al mismo error pero con otra cara. Con mayor razón es bueno visitar tiempos pasados para hacer puntos de comparación".</p>
<p><strong>-Hay una corriente política que pide dejar el pasado atrás, mientras gran parte de los jóvenes de hoy no se interesan por la política. ¿Cómo se conecta esta serie con la situación actual?</strong></p>
<p>"Creo que la serie no busca moralizar al respecto. Es mostrar lo que ocurrió del punto de vista de esta familia que es más quitada de bulla. Es una familia, sobre todo los padres, que buscan sobrevivir y criar a sus hijos. Y frente a eso se ven inmersos en todas estas tendencias que los llevan de un lado para otro. A través de esa forma, de mostrar lo más imparcial posible, creo que las conclusiones y las reflexiones vienen por añadidura".</p>
<p><strong>-En el primer capítulo, vimos que los que más sufrieron los '80 fueron los padres. Los niños, por lo menos, se podían escapar de la realidad con el juego. </strong></p>
<p>"Creo que la serie está dedicada a los padres. Siento que son ellos, por la responsabilidad de cuidar a sus hijos, los que sufren todo el vendaval. Y cómo lo resuelvan ellos, determinará las consecuencias en sus hijos. La serie habla un poco de eso. Cuenta la historia de esta familia (los Herrera) pero a través de los padres principalmente. Yo lo viví. Muchas cosas que van a ocurrir en la serie me tocan directamente".</p>
<p><strong>-¿Qué hacías tu en el 1982?</strong></p>
<p>"Estaba en tercero medio. Era bastante consciente de lo que ocurrió, pero viviendo en San Fernando la política no era uno de mis intereses. Sin embargo, llegando a la universidad en Santiago me empecé a dar cuenta de lo que estaba pasando con el país y tomé mi opción".</p>
<p><strong>-¿Fue muy duro ese cambio?</strong></p>
<p>"Sí, claro. Ahora cuando uno ya es padre se empieza a dar cuenta de lo que significa todo eso. La década de los 80 es un mero pretexto. Los tiempos difíciles no tiene que ver con la época, las circunstancias cambian, pero en esencia las dificultades siempre están presentes".</p>
<p><strong>-¿Tuviste zapatillas North Star?</strong></p>
<p>"Sí, por supuesto. Y también mandé mis zapatos al zapatero. Claro, (en esos años) Chile no era consumista. No era un Chile que se endeudaba, era un Chile que pagaba inmediatamente, que ahorraba. Increíble. Viendo la serie me llama la atención que viví eso, pero no me acordaba. Se me produjo así como una especie de alzheimer histórico. Es realmente muy triste y nostálgico ver que Chile, en cierto modo, era mucho más ingenuo y feliz antes".</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>La trastienda de "Los 80"</strong></p>
<p>-La serie tiene 10 capítulos y es parte del programa Bicentenario UC-TV.</p>
<p>-Los más difícil fue recrear el Santiago de la época, por los cambios que han afectado a la ciudad.</p>
<p>-La banda sonora pertenece a Camilo Salinas, ex Petinellis.</p>
<p>-Lucas Escobar se llama el niño (Félix en la serie) que da vida al hijo de Juan Herrera. Tuvo que aprender a jugar luche y a la payaya para recrear más fielmente a los niños de los 80.</p>
<p>-Lo que viene: El segundo episodio de "Los 80" estará enfocado en los temporales de 1982. En el tercero, la familia celebrará un 18 de septiembre y, en los capítulos siguientes, aparecerán otros eventos: la Teletón, la Navidad, la PAA y el Festival de Viña 1983, el que consagró a Zalo Reyes. La contingencia más dura seguirá presente con las consecuencias de la crisis económica y con el regreso de los primeros exiliados autorizados por el régimen de Pinochet.</p></blockquote>

I have been to two concerts of Elton's now and i can say he has to be one of the best. I have never seen so many people who had enjoyed themselves so much. If you havent been to one of his concerts yet .... then go! He's getting on now (60) so you better hurry before he throws the towel in and if your worried about his personal life, which i dont agree with either, just turn the other cheek. (Oh wait .... thats what Elton does)</span></p>

<div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Jump Up</span></strong> is the album that redeems </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_john"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Elton John</span></a><span style="color:#cc33cc;"> from his famine years as a fallen superstar exiled to less verdant pastures. Showing more spunk than anyone might have expected at this late date, he's put himself back on top simply by making a tour de force of a record that says he knows he's worth it. Even if he never again comes close to inciting the mass hysteria of the mid-Seventies, the sheer stylistic breadth of Jump Up should secure Elton John's reputation as a rare master of pop form</span></span><span style="color:#cc33cc;font-family:courier new;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EfAejaDy-Nc/R2NWK_m3BrI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/4TRudcNzTss/s1600-h/Elton+John+4.jpg"><span style="color:#cc33cc;font-family:courier new;"><img style="float:right;cursor:hand;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_EfAejaDy-Nc/R2NWK_m3BrI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/4TRudcNzTss/s200/Elton+John+4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></span></a><span style="color:#cc33cc;">From the <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">muscular</span></strong> lurch of "Dear John" to the Philly-soul stylings of </span></span><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">"Princess," Elton is feeling frisky again. Those trademark piano rolls and crisp cadences never sounded so good as on "Spiteful Child," and he's found a new expressiveness in his singing (witness the dramatic, mock-Brechtian reading of "Legal Boys," which redresses the paper chasers with eloquent vehemence). And, for a guest-celebrity change of pace, there's "Ball and Chain," a catchy little tune that rolls along to the inimitable percussive strum of Pete Townshend's acoustic guitar</span>.</span></div>

The former seems to coax a more effervescent melody from John, while the latter plumbs for emotional intensity – be it vengeance ("Spiteful Child") or sentimentality ("Empty Garden," a heartfelt paean to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_lennon"><span style="color:#33cc00;">John Lennon</span></a>). Elton John just might be rock &#38; roll's equivalent of the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz. His songs have a kind of mechanical vigor, he's a one-man pop-music assembly line, but the guy's got a heart that won't quit. "I am your robot/I am your robot man," he sings on Jump Up, in a way that suggests he's content with this self-assessment. Yeah, he may be a robot, but he's our robot, all right. God bless him.</span></span> (RS 370)</div>

Although the record went gold, it only featured one <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Top 40</span></strong> hit -- the number 11 single, "So Close." The duo mounted a comeback in 1997 with Marigold Sky, but it was only partially successful; far better was 2003's Do It for Love and the following year soul covers record Our Kind of Soul.</span></span> ~ [Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide]</div>

<div>
<div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color:#66ffff;">It'd be a disservice to the considerable inventiveness and daring of Daryl Hall and John Oates to suggest that after ten years of trying, they'd finally hit on a perfectly tailored pop success formula. Nevertheless, their well-steeped brew of gunshot percussion, hooky daubs of synthesizer and soulful, swooping vocals – which revived their career on Voices and spawned four hit singles from their last LP, </span><a href="http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,2908389,00.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Private Eyes</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;">–is heavily in evidence on their latest effort,</span> <a href="http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,2908295,00.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">H2O</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;">. But with only a few exceptions, the more austere elements of their music are unleavened by wit or generosity of spirit, and the result is a competent but off-putting album whose icy virtuosity makes </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftwerk"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Kraftwerk</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;"> sound as down-home as a bluegrass band.</span></span></div>

A bouncy, hard-edged rhythm line straight from </span><a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Diana%20Ross"><span style="color:#ff0000;">the Supremes</span></a><span style="color:#66ffff;">' "You Can't Hurry Love" gives the song a promising kickoff. But the hooks never turn up, and the musty misogyny of the lyrics ("She's deadly, man, and she could really rip your world apart") only adds to the tune's aridity. Hall dominates side one, and without John Oates' warm vocal tone and lighter touch, his world view seems cramped. You can't even dance to it. This isn't to say Hall can't be a genuinely moving singer. His gorgeous falsetto in the chorus of "One on One" manages to breathe some life into the song's tired game-of-love metaphor. In "Art of Heartbreak," he gets to blast more straightforwardly over guitar-powered orchestration. But too often, Hall's vocal flourishes don't reverberate with enough emotional force</span></span><span style="color:#66ffff;">.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color:#66ffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Fortunately</span></strong>, the heat gets turned up on side two. Mike Old-field's "Family Man" lets Hall and Oates percolate in a romp in the style of "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," and "Guessing Games," with its stuttering, Casiofueled rhythms and bleeps, incites Hall to some evocative wailing. Most welcome of the lot, though, is Oates' "Italian Girls," a light, poppy lament ("I drink, I drink so much vino rosso, no more amarone") that sounds like</span> <a href="http://crowbarred.blogspot.com/search/label/Steely%20Dan%20907"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Steely Dan</span></a> <span style="color:#66ffff;">having a good time, if such a thing were possible.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Må citeres med fuld kildeangivelse:</strong></div>
<p><strong> </p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Fremskridt nr. 29</p>
<p>27. august 1982</p>
<p>Årgang 10.</p>
<div><strong></strong></div>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:large;"></p>
<p align="center">De tilsminkede 74.000 millioner kroner</p>
<p> </p>
<p></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>74.000 millioner kr. er regeringens (A, red.) skræmmetal overfor befolkningen. Selv dette forfærdende underskudstal fortæller langt fra den usminkede sandhed.</p>
<p>Finanslovsforslagets virkelige tale er, at "kun" 239.000 millioner kr. af de planlagte offentlige udgifter for 1983 - 394.000 millioner kr. - vil være skattedækkede. Ikke engang det tal er realistisk.</p>
<p>For det er et fastfrosset øjebliksfotografi af 1983. Og er der noget, de offentlige finanser ikke er i øjeblikket, er det fastfrosne. De galopperer mod afgrunden. Fotograferes et jetfly 2000 meter over jordoverfladen i et styrt, er det ikke nok at læne sig tilbage i lænestolen og nedsætte en kommission til at finde frem til, hvordan det undgås, at flyet rammer jordoverfladen. Før man overhovedet kan komme til at påvirke det med sine handlinger, er det kommet katastrofalt væsentligt nærmere.</p>
<p>Om den løbskørsel, Folketinget skal standse, skriver Fællesbanken: "Det har hidtil været en målsætning, at de økonomiske problemer skulle løses uden at ødelægge vort sociale velfærdssystem, men denne målsætning har i realiteten ikke længere nogen mening. i løbet af fem år er skatterne nemlig næsten udelukkende i stand til at dække forrentningen af statens gæld, således at der stort set intet bliver tilbage til undervisnings-, social og sundhedsvæsenet ganske uanset, hvilken brandbeskatning af befolkningen man tænker sig".</p>
<p>Det gør ondt af få ret.</p>
<p>For den trotylbombe som nu eksploderer, er præcis, som Fremskridtspartiet har varslet det år efter år som konsekvensen af Folketingets vedtagelser af forbryderiske ødsle-finanslove.</p>
<p>1983-underskuddet er den direkte fremregning af, at SVCQMB og SF den 24. februar 1982 klokken 16:06 stemte ja til landsødelæggerfinansloven for 1982.</p>
<p>Når der nu skal diges mod bankerot-stormfloden, skal man ikke kaste skylden på Fremskridtspartiet.</p>
<p>Det er pyromanerne og ikke brandvæsenet, som fortjener vælgernes straf. Men pyromanerne er 91,1% af det nuværende Folketing. Derfor evner det Folketing ikke at forbedre forholdene. Højst at formindske forværrelsen.</p>
<p>Og flertal hertil kan kun dannes på grundlag af to partier. At kalde dem BZ er at trække tanken hen på de samfundsdestruktive. Regeringsfundamentet må derfor døbes ZB - men VCQM og alle de andre er da velkomne til at være med.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>"What You See Is What You Get"</p>
<p>Además de ser el título de canciones de Britney Spears, Tina Turner y Save Ferris; esta frase guarda relación con el misterioso lenguaje HTML. WYSIWYG es el acrónimo en inglés de "Lo que ves es lo que es /hay/te llevas" y se refiere a la "visión de impresión" de cualquier página web, tal y como se refiere actualmente en Wikipedia.</p>
<p>El término, el acrónimo y su definición aparecieron por primera vez imprimidos en abril de 1982 en la Revista Byte, diciendo lo siguiente:</p>
<p>"...refers to the situation in which the display screen portays an accurate rendition of the printed."</p>
<p>("... referido a la situación donde lo que se muestra en pantalla es fiel a lo que se imprime.")</p>
<p>No obstante, sus orígenes -no oficiales- se sitúan en los años 40 en EUA en los copys de algunos anuncios (en estas cosas siempre hemos de ir un paso por delante). Se utilizaba para dar a conocer el producto tal y como era visto, sin florituras : lo que ves es lo que hay (LQVELQH, en español no tiene mucho juego el acrónimo).</p>
<p>En mayo de 1949 en "The Galveston Daily News"  un anuncio de muebles decía:</p>
<p>"Rules of This Sale</p>
<p>No Refunds...No Exchanges...No tradeins or Approvals</p>
<p>What You See is What You Buy What You Get"</p>
<p>"Normas de esta venta</p>
<p>No se devuelve el dinero...No se canjea...No pagos parciales ni pruebas</p>
<p>Lo que ves es lo que compras y lo que te llevas"</p>
<p>La verdad es que suena un poco antipático, pero supongo que era la forma de hacer una publicidad más franca y sencilla.</p>
<p>En mayo del '66 se acuñó la frase en el siguiente anuncio de una casa en venta en el "Oakland Tribune":</p>
<p>"So with exception of landscaping and decorator furnishings, What You See Is What You Get"</p>
<p>"Exceptuando la arquitectura del paisaje y el mobiliario de decoración, lo que ves es lo que te llevas"</p>
<p>El concepto WYSIWYG se usa de forma parecida a otras frases como "take me as you find me" o "so sue me". Seguramente es la expresión opuesta, por otro lado, a "las apariencias engañan" y "lo importante está en el interior" , todo depende de uno mismo y sus valores.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shhh...it's a secret, membership-only club. In 1982 Anthony Geary foolishly televised the secret club jackets, which were inexplicably popular for a few years, only to go into hiding for twenty years. The only person wearing them during the period of dormancy was Rosario, Karen Walker's maid on Will and Grace. Because Rosario looked so spectacular in the club jacket, Memebers Only reissued and updated the jackets in 2007, now selling new ones for very high prices.</p>
<p>I was a member of Members Only during the 1980s, polished cotton in an ugly tan color. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This song from Namak Halaal is an awesome song. Just listening to this song cheers one up. Kishore Kumar has sung the song so well and with such enthusiasm that one can feel the enthusiasm every time one listens to this song.<br />
<!--moreRead more on this topic...--><br />
Not just Kishore Kumar, everyone associated with the creation of the song seem to have caught the enthusiasm bug. when everyone is so keyed up, then the result has to be a wonderful song, and indeed this song is a memorable song. lyricist Anjaan, as well as Bappi Lahiri, the music director and his team have freaked out and have come up with an amazing song.</p>
<p>So far , I have only talked about the audio. The picturisation matches the audio just as well. In fact, the picturisation just before the song begins is also worth watching. The entire picturisation, before the first word of the song appears, sets the tone for a wonderfully hilarious and light hearted experience. Amitabh Bachchan, with the picturisation of this song, enhanced his reputation as an actor with great comic sense. The supporting cast, especially the actor who is determined to shake the hand of Amitabh, only to get rebuffed each time,Ranjit- the hotel manager, Ram Sethi- the photographer friend of Amitabh, everyone have contributed in making this song a great visual experience.</p>
<p>This is a must watch audio visual treat. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Possiblement sigui considerada una obra menor en la filmografia de l'<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/">Steven Spielberg</a>, però trobo que <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181689/">Minority Report</a></em> (2002) és una peli força interessant. Basada en una història curta de Philip K. Dick (<a href="http://www.philipkdick.com/">web</a> i <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick">wiki</a>) -sí, el mateix de <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F">Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? </a></em> (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/"><em>Blade Runner</em></a> - 1982) o <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Remember_It_for_You_Wholesale">We Can Remember It for You Wholesale</a></em> (<em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100802/">Total Recall</a> - 1990)</em>-, aquesta pel·lícula explica una història que gira al voltant de la unitat de precrim de Washington, cos policial que, gràcies a tres individus privilegiats que veuen el futur, poden detenir aquelles persones que tenen la intenció de cometre un delicte; les agafen abans de delinquir, aquesta és la gràcia. Doncs un esquema similar estem vivint amb la sentència del Tribunal Constitucional. Després de sospitar-ho durant mesos, <em><a href="http://www.lavanguardia.es/lv24h/20081009/53556586346.html">La Vanguardia </a></em>ens avança que pretenen retallar-nos l'Estatut en aspectes cabdals. Reaccionarem abans que la tissora es tanqui?</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Catalunya s'enfronta actualment a un panorama amb un final el catastrofisme del qual s'ensuma des de fa mesos, com passa amb el gas que s'acumula en una cuina malmesa abans de generar una gran explosió. L'Estat i els elements creadors d'opinió pública de l'esfera espanyolista més rància, com si fossin una piconadora, han preparat el terreny per trinxar la petita millora en l'autogovern que representà l'últim Estatut d'Autonomia de Catalunya. Així, una llei aprovada pel Parlament, rebaixada pel Congrés de Diputats i refrendada pel poble català, veurà com la seva incidència en la realitat del país es reduirà una vegada més. Com quan desmuntes una <em>matryoshka </em>o vas treient capes a una ceba. Al final, si et descuides, no hi ha res.</p>
<p>Es veu que volen eliminar l'artícle pel qual tota persona que viu a Catalunya té l'obligació de conéixer el català. També volen eliminar la bilateralitat amb l'Estat en temes de finançament i, malgrat que conserven el terme nació -en el preàmbul és inofensiu-, els juristes del Constitucional creuen que s'ha de deixar ben clar que l'única nació és l'espanyola i que aquesta té la titularitat de la sobirania del poble -espanyol, és clar-. La vexació a què ens volen sotmetre crec que és ben evident. I davant d'això, i més sabent-ho fefaentment gràcies a <em>La Vanguardia </em>dies abans, no hem d'actuar? </p>
<p>Ja sabem que el sistema de poders es fonamenta en una separació estricta de tres potes -executiva, legislativa i judicial- sense possibiltiat per a les ingerències entre elles. No obstant això, el braç jurídic a Espanya ha demostrat abastament la seva politització. Arribats a aquest punt, què toca fer? Res d'ilegal, no us preocupeu. Només es tracta de mostrar fermesa, des de tots els fronts: el cívic, el polític i l'institucional. No podem permetre que passi el que ja ens han dit que passarà. Ens ha de liderar el President de la Generalitat, seguit del President del Parlament de Catalunya, del cap de l'oposició, de les figures representatives de l'anomenada societat civil. Tots a una, però fem alguna cosa d'una punyetera vegada que demostri orgull i fortalesa. Ens hi juguem el benestar de la nostra gent. I això és prou important.</p>
