Whitish Discharge At 38 Weeks

the literally

is another of those seemingly tiny details that will make you smile, and yet, in this island, it plays everything ...
Last Thursday, the newscaster did not read the text verbatim written the day before by Fidel Castro and published in Granma item. They read a summary, a summary.
is totally unprecedented.
Since the beginning of his " Reflections of the Commander in Chief " (must be the tenth now), and whatever the length of the text systematically presenters began their newspaper by reading word for word of that text.
No way to change a comma, skip a paragraph, summarize an idea: the word, that word is sacred, it is untouchable. This gave
hilarious scenes, ten, fifteen minutes of monologue, with a reporter transformed into an actor, trying to give impetus to intonation and long reflection written by another. Rodobaldo Hernandez and Rafael Serrano, respectively Featured presenters lunch and dinner, are particularly good at it, real actors, taking mine contrite or threatening depending on the tone required. The news came after
in what remained of time for the newspaper, sometimes a trickle.
But last Thursday, so this ritual declamation gave way to a summary.
Who decided that we could condense the long text (itself a summary record of three economists at A recent forum)? Who crossed the border taboo?
You will say that I exaggerate, but this island where everything is unsaid, the unwritten, every scratch on the veil of silence is the source of speculation.
For decades, Fidel Castro's speeches were transcribed fully and systematically in Granma, and rebroadcast in full on television, regardless of their length (usually between three and four hours, several times a week).
And one fine day someone decides to summarize the thought so often presented as perfect, Zenith Tube
... It does not look, but it's a real transgression.

How To Hook My Tv To My Htr5740



After long silence that too (lazy, overworked, tired), and then give you some news from my island, I want to thank Loula, who made three weeks ago a bunch five blogs that she loves to read, including this one.
We had met some months ago in Havana, it did not last: it will be for another time.
According to his rules, I have to turn my name five blogs with me: it's hard, five is not much. And then life
Blogs are fluid: some disappear, others fall asleep, others change, or otherwise does not change ...
Let all who are appointed on the side make me go around the world every day or almost (and I'm always looking for new countries, new discoveries: If you have any suggestions, please let me know in comments).

But if we choose, and in very different registers:
Coffeeshopshop , who recounts his life with humor, and so well ... My diary
China : a blog is now closed, but its discovery two years ago, gave me the idea and the desire to write these fragments island. A few weeks ago, its author Pierre Haski has launched an information site, where he continues to speak of China ( Chinatown).
Sophil water , writing smooth and precise, which tells of his enthusiasm and his rages, his children and some of Portugal.
Finally, more recently, I discovered two blogs from countries that I do not know, and which are exotic to me reads: Tbilisi and not elsewhere, Georgia and Nastepna Stacja , Poland.
But this list is wrong, go have a look at all those at hand, I like them all!

Now that the chain continues, as each in turn nominated nominating!
