Free Microwave Office



This Friday we talked to Mohammed, our beloved home on the possibility of not encontrásemos anyone to the house before we left. He said that in principle his father (because the floor is not Moja, but her daddy, Monsieur Rekiek) would keep half the deposit, 600 €, but that he would try to forgive us € 300. Anyway they told us that afternoon would Locataire possible that his approval was not like we send us who were unemployed. The above, a Marseilles, had to arrive at 5 pm to see the apartment but called on telephone at 3 and a half, caught with the house made a Christ. Luckily found not matter much, because after a couple of hours again to make a few extra photos (the guy was very organized).

That night stayed with Lieven, who was visiting Brussels, with his Canadian girlfriend catla and her friend Robin. Talking with Canadians was that they knew a friend of mine, Gonzalo Manera , since they had gone with him and his ex-girlfriend on a road trip Sweden. What a small world! While

dinner in La Fin du Siècle Moja called us and told us that the French finally left the house and went next day to sign the contract. Happy, calmer, follow the night in another bar. It was a long night and the next day we had planned to participate in a bric to be held in our street.

Despite going to bed relatively early and unsuccessful attempts to get up early, we ended up waking Jose Miguel, who had asked to help us in marketing (more on the transport of furniture). At about 11 we were already installed in our market place, watching for potential buyers. Most sold positions chorraditas and there were some who were professional sellers, who had to toooodoooo. Much it cost me not to leave the job and spend the customer side.

had made a list of everything we had and we salable price allocated to all items. Perhaps En primer plano, la mesa mágica. ¡Qué ganas de hacer otra brocante! prices were a bit optimistic, but we know that these markets are flesh of bargaining. Throughout the day we sold almost everything, including a vacuum without the thing that tops the tube, our beloved corner chair (sniff, sniff) and a book I had found. The star of the day was selling our beloved coffee table, that I had met months earlier on the same street where they celebrated the bric. His starting price was 20 iurops, but when I asked a Belgian price I had the great idea to answer that so often heard and many Sometimes I despaired: How offer? And the guy gave me 25 €. All benefits. Live and bravo!

At about 6:30 we closed the sale and we put our belongings in the car depleted. This time it took us only make one trip. Remained unsold our single sofa, four wooden chairs, two bedside lamps, a computer screen, a metal rack for hanging, two fleece blankets and a red carpet from Ikea. [To try to sell all that and a few other things that we bring to the market, I mounted another blog and I put an ad in xpats.com and I am pleased to announce that our leftovers are sold like hotcakes]. And to go

ending, but I roll up the blinds, I will comment in passing that after the bric, Jose Miguel, Maria and I went to see BB King . When we got near him National Forest, where the concert was held, there was no free parking for miles and hundreds ed vehicles looking for a site like us. Great shit. Finally try to park in a gas station, doing a little Paripe, but the manager told us that Nanai " If you want to park, but I will take the car the crane ... and is 200 € and several hours of waiting. ... " "Just € 200 ? "Asked Maria as we were leaving. Ut that was enough for the manager becomes aware of his English accent and, as the Spaniard was, leave us park in your site. I still can not believe how lucky we were ...

That day BB King turned 81 and the concert was memorable. What else to say ... To compensate for such turbulence sabadera on Sunday, stayed at home resting and wandering, which gives us very well. But yeah, almost furniture or concerns.

How To Block Out The Emotion Love

movidito weekend FREE!

Today, she finally presented her thesis and received the notes of his finals ... and everything went well! My girlfriend is officially a "mastered". Gone sleepless nights and pre-exam nerves. Despite how nervous I was for the presentation, he did great and even its sponsor (the director of the Master) has written an e-mail congratulating her.

To celebrate we went to dinner with Anna, Tina, Rebecca and Bri a very cool restaurant we met the other day and Mary was invited to the dinner. The site is incredible, good food, lively background music, dancing waitresses and all the mismatched chairs. Although what I like most is that business cards are printed on the back of old portraits.

But Bueno, so now's the least we are free because !

How To Write A Welcome Wedding Party

sounds, smells and views

happened yesterday in front of our house a fire engine with its siren blaring at a volume krakatoano. Looking out the window we see that the street was empty. Not a car or a pedestrian, or even an animal passing by. That if the windows were filled with neighbors who wondered at such an uproar coming. As the truck stopped a couple of apples and other firefighters were arriving nearby arteries, curiosity I could and got to see what happened, taking advantage of having to go through the store to buy snuff.

While we waited I could see a fire truck had extended its ladder and joined the curious wanting to see a good recovery and even a few llamas. But when I a decent distance I saw that there was nothing to see. They were coming down the stairs, without any rescued on board, and nobody seemed to know what had happened. In the air was a pleasant smell of barbecue smoke instead of the expected wood and concrete.

Disappointed, I went home and checked the stairs that smelled so good there. 11 days ago moved downstairs some Arab (Algerian, I would say, but I have not asked) that have a habit of leaving their shoes at the door. Mary and I are convinced that our house is not finished by this fact materialize because the smell makes you want to run away. The previous tenants were a Filipino, whose dwelling emanated a pleasant smell of peanut sauce that accompanied us to our door on the thirteenth floor. That if it was a good reception!

So far this month, we received several visits from prospective tenants. Almost all continents have been represented. Have been mostly Italian (always girls), but have also gone through our floor a Congolese, a German family, an Eastern (Vietnamese, I think), two mothers and two daughters (as stated in the riddle) Algerian, a Peruvian / Polish with his European girlfriend indefinitely, some Belgians and a number of countries Erasmus unknown. There was a Belgian couple who wanted to stay and gave them the number of Mohammed, the landlord, welcoming how easy it was to get rid of the floor (it was the latter who visited). Moja unfortunately did not like. Let's see if we are lucky this week ...

How To Print On A3 In Powerpoint

we're almost all closed

few days ago and have not written a looooong past things. Mary returned to request the transfer and did not get it so that the next day his boss called to say he was leaving the company. Already requested before the summer and was told that perhaps it gave in February but this time was delayed until "next summer", whatever that is. So there was no choice. As there was his chief of department told his boss and after a while they called and said they gave the move in October. There's nothing like an ultimatum.

also already submitted the thesis and made the tests were missing. It only remains to make the defense of his thesis on Tuesday and will ça fini .

On the other hand, the monster axillary Mary is now practically extinct. It only remains to close a point 1 mm in diameter or less.

On the subject of the house, and we put up a sign announcing that it will open on 1 October and have even made a website with all your data, photos and maps. The http://ixellesalouer.blogspot.com can see in . I have thought about doing another page with photos of furniture that we sell. Although we have pointed to a bric to be on 16 next door and hope to sell almost everything. For those who do not know, a popular flea market bric-a second-hand.

Well, more or less that's all. And I'll tell you more things as pass.

Doctor Checking Male Cock

Who wants me? Madrid

Today I received three phone calls rare. Unfortunately I could not get any because he had gone out to eat with Mary. I swear that I had taken the movail but if I did not hear the calls.

At first I thought I had known in Spain because to see more before there was a number I thought automatically, without looking code, which I had called the mother country. But then I have fallen into that code was +31. Mary and I thought that maybe it was that of Greece and her friend Anna lives there. But then I found out via Wikipedia that the code corresponds to the Netherlands.

I have no idea who may have called me (three times from two different numbers as well). Maybe a coffee shop ?

Vegas 7.0سيريال



As there is less to return to Madrid, I happened to get into Wikipedia to see what they say about my beloved city. And I went to Wikipedia Wiktionary, a dictionary quite poor that manages Wikipedia and is still the same system (Ie you edit who knows about the subject, although in this case seems not cite sources.)

I had always thought that Madrid was one of those cities whose name did not change in other languages. Well I was wrong. Although virtually all languages \u200b\u200bof the European Union said in English as there are a few in which his name varies. Here's a list I found (if you know one let me know and I add): Albanian
  1. : Madridi
  2. Korean : Madeurideu (마드리드) Chinese
  3. : Mǎdélǐ (马德里) Esperanto
  4. : Madrid
  5. Modern Greek: Madhriti (Μαδρίτη)
  6. Japanese : Madore (マドリード) or Madoriddo (マドリッド)
  7. Latin: Latvian
  8. Matritum : Madrider
  9. Lithuanian : Madrid
  10. Polish : Basque
  11. MADRYT : Madril
who has surprised me most is Basque, and I think I should have learned. The version I like least is that of Esperanto, which sounds like a "rotten." The China I found quite comical, since it is precisely as if to say Madrid to imitate a Chinese to do so. And the one I liked is the way Polish.

Some theories say the name comes from the Celtic spirit Maget ("great bridge"), but it is likely that its origin is Roman matrix (which means something like "mother" but not applied to a woman, but rather the cause, origin or source of rivers ... in this case). The latter term refers to the stream that ran between two hills facing (the Manzanares, I say).

Others think the name is a hybrid two very similar place names: a Mozarabic matrice ("source" or "mother of waters") and an Arab, or maǧrà MAJR (meaning "riverbed" or riverbed). It is also possible that comes from Maǧrīṭ (which is in turn m Ayra, "mother" and the suffix it, "place"), the English form is Magerit.

As we see, all terms refer to the abundance of streams and groundwater of the site. Some say that the Arabs (specifically the emir Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Rahman, son of Abderrahman II) who founded Madrid, to monitor progress Christian conquerors. Matrice say was a term pre-Muslim, the Arabs translated by Mayrit . After the Reconquista, the name was Matrit prevailed, which I find a mixture of matrice and Mayrit . And, curiously or not, many still call the city Madrit (how Poles!).

Ulnar Nerve Exercises

THESIS FINISHED! YUJUUUUU!! Stress

Finally! I thought this moment would never come. I have not done the argument but I was escorted to Merida in hard times. And if I've had it rough, she has suffered at the time complete. At least I had my beloved Wikipedia to keep me company.

But an end, we have sent the thesis makes just 15 minutes. Now, before we sleep, we go to print 4 copies of the dissertation and pass us by the university to hand them over. And you have to go return some books that Mary took to write your tochazo provided 50 pages, but I'm going to move all the threads that this can postpone it until tomorrow. Abreise

As you noticed above, despite being the 9 and a half ago we have not slept. This is what is called a night study (for some). Stating that preceded tonight a few similar (7, more or less). That's how hard a student's life and his companion.

On Thursday Mary has to finally deliver his thesis. That same day will be your last day of work before vacation (see it's bad luck). The abscess in his armpit has not abandoned us yet and apparently never will. These are times of stress, tension and nerves.

Luckily tomorrow is holiday in Belgium and Mary will have more time to complete the dissertation. I'm going to spend the day in Amsterdam with two friends to let you study without distraction (and to get away from home). Three days becoming quiet to Chaussée de Boondael.

Mount And Bladegame Copy

The coldest city in the world

a couple of days ago, while pouring rain outside, Mary and I were watching the news on TVE International. After reporting on the expansion of Israeli troops from Lebanon and the fire in Galicia, we saw the time. The presenter was telling us the suns and clouds that appeared on the map and as they passed below the maximum and minimum temperatures of the world's major cities: Rome, Paris, New York, Dublin, Beijing, London, San Francisco, Mexico City , Tokyo, Delhi, Dubai ... Brussels was also, of course. It turns out that Brussels is the coldest city in the world. As temperatures world for the next day ranged from 10 to 15 degrees (as little) in Brussels is expected temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees. Take that. The worst thing is that they followed from cities and found that even in Santiago de Chile, where it is winter , was colder (short, only one or two degrees, but still.) This is Brussels!

Masterbation Impotense

Beer and cola

Vores Øl guess you will know what is open source software . But you have the link back there. Yesterday I read in a blog called Concept Concept is that open source is no longer exclusive software. Denmark has created an open source beer. This means your recipe say is public and anyone can manufacture it at home. It is called Vores Øl (meaning Our beer in Danish) and was invented by some computer science students after one of his teachers were impelled to demonstrate how open source concepts could be applied to real world things OpenCola . A Vores was followed by others as freebeer , whose website you can see Gilberto Gil saying that beer is not only free but also is good beer.

OpenCola aparecióla Otherwise, a cola whose "instructions" are also public. At first it was a promotional tool of a Canadian open-source company. But the company (which had the same name) no longer exists while the drink remains.

How To Make A Sausage Dog Draft Excluder

À louer / TE Huur

begins cartelitos time of the oranges in Brussels. Here, when you sell or rent something (especially houses, apartments, rooms and cars) will have to put up a sign orange for everyone to recognize it quickly. It put all the details such as square meters, number of rooms, price, charges, what is and is not included in the price and, of course, a contact number.

Since I have not found work and is not expected to do, I decided to return to Spain. The return date is still not safe but it will be between September and October. Mary does not know if he'll come with me or stay a few months until I can get a transfer to Madrid. But, come or not, we have to leave home because it alone can not pay what it costs us an apartment every month. So we have also put up a sign, but for now is a bit shabby and we did not know where to buy the orange and black officers.

Our contract is actually up to September 1 so I had to call Mohammed, our home, to see what he thought. He was on vacation in Morocco and, thanks to Allah, we do not put any hits. For now has come a girl to see but do not believe that interests you so you have to wait. I'll tell you.

In response to a comment from one such Rocio did not leave your e-mail, the houses here are cheaper than in Madrid, but not how to be with regard to Ireland. Find home is easy as there are a lot of supply but should not expect much since the end of August and have rented many apartments. There is a page that is well enough to find Immoweb (should you know some French and hardly any notice is in English). But you can never be trusted at all of the photos so the best is coming here to look. What we did was to study the web (Inmmoweb and some others) and, carried out the houses that we liked, we went to visit one after another. And while we were looking for oranges on the street signs (that's how we finally found our maison ). Bon chance!

Hymen Bleeding Vidoes

here Just in case ...

never know where you can find a tenant so just in case I'll put an ad here in our apartment for rent.

Is in the Ixelles district, which is very cool and not too far from downtown (although in this city almost nothing is far from the center) or the European institutions. We tram and bus 2 minutes from home, parks, bars and restaurants. A little laundry at 1 minute from home.

The apartment is 80 square meters divided in a living room with kitchenette (ie, with a bar separating the kitchen), a room big enough and a bathroom. Large windows (two in the living room, one in the kitchen, one in the fourth and another in the bathroom) and very light (the sun comes in the morning in the classroom and in the afternoon by the room and the bathroom .) It is furnished

but the room has 6 large closets and there are small lockers in the kitchen, the room and bathroom (we do not we have to fill all). The bathroom has a bath and kitchen oven, refrigerator and stove. There is also a common storage room in the basement.

round off the home is very nice and not take to resolve any issues. The price is 600 euros per month plus charges 75 euros (including water, heating and cleaning of the stairs).

and will be free on 1 October. : D

Valima Invitation Urdu Wording

Visitor

All mornings this week have been going to the emergency room for replacement bands sobaquiles Mary. In the beginning we said we were at 9 in the morning but on Tuesday and Wednesday we had to wait two hours until we attended so Thursday and Friday we have the luxury of sleeping a little longer before going to the Hôpital d ' Ixelles. Also yesterday we had an unexpected visit just before going to bed. We took a while to throw home and then we took a little sleep so we ended up not go to bed until 2 am. This was what happened.

All week has been a heat of death and our windows were open, trying to enter a little breeze and, unfortunately, a few mosquitoes bastards. Mary was already in bed and something grogi thanks to a cocktail Augmentine / ibuprofen and I was shutting down the computer and get to bed when the corner of my eye I saw something flying fell awkwardly into the room. A moth, I thought. When I turned around I saw it was too big and black to be a moth. Then the "thing" started flying in circles around the room and I turned on the light I could see it up close. It was a bat. Before he could make two turns in our airspace, I was stuck in the bathroom with the door closed hoping the bats come out as he entered. Then I remembered Mary, which had mounted the noise had awakened. I opened the door slightly but the bug was still hanging around so I went into the bathroom again. I yelled to Mary from the burladero him to get under the sheet and when I opened I saw that she had raised and legs had gone out the door of the room, behind which was already equipped.

I was in the bathroom not anything that seemed useful to catch him. At last it occurred to me to take a towel and left broadsheet in gladiator plan to discover that our visitor had left. I told Mary to return to sleep but she asked me before inspections shall the field. And suddenly the a bat out of the headboard directly into my jugular. Well, not really. But he came again and gave me scared to death because it happened so close to me that I could clearly see his eyes. And ran back to the bathroom, crouched and thinking what I tangled in your hair! , as Homer Simpson, when the bloodsuckers took a turn in the opposite direction that had until then and clean out the window.

The incident has reminded us of Marcelo, the former zulito of pariseños, but with wings and Batman plan. Needless to say, the windows are closed today. Luckily it rained (In flood plan and Belgium, as you prefer) and makes it fresh.

Nadine Jansen Hardcore

I'm alive! Already

A lot has happened since my last post but I will not say that this is why you have not written. The main cause was the heat. As I came news of rain and cold in some parts of Spain, in Brussels (the land of rain) fell not a drop. The heat was (and still is) overwhelming. The other day I saw a thermometer marked 42 º. We had to remove the quilt, of course.

The last weekend we take either the slang going to a free concert (the Flagestival) in Flagey Square (where not). We discovered a very Interestingly called Jazz Camerata , QUS I highly recommend it. There was also petanque, which here takes a lot, despite having the urge to play I went without it. The truth is that when I go to Brussels I miss all the concerts, markets and fairs are organized here every week, especially when it's sunny day. It is seen that is not very common as sunlight, when you see the advantage of great entertainment.

The beginning of this week was a little more ... delicate. Mary had some months with a kind of grain headless armpit. The thing rose and fell, but this weekend had been pretty huge and it showed a kind ball that was entering the confines sobaquiles. After a sleepless night, Mary went to the doctor last Monday. I picked up before going to the emergency room (she had gone to work but her boss sent her to hospital when he saw his "problem") and after waiting a while we attended and confirmed what we thought: it was an abscess (Mary and had one). The emergency team who attended to us was the most colorful. I think everyone was Belgian by birth, but the nurse was of Moroccan descent, the doctor was black and oriental medical practice. And we apañoles . A great example of multiculturalism in one room. After

remove the pus from the armpit of Mary and fill the gap with a strip of 30 cm Betadine gauze and left us free. Luckily the hospital is next door and we had happened to leave the car parked outside and walk. Mary could not hardly walk like that after leaving home, I just went to the pharmacy to get something for pain stronger than what we had been given. She became impatient and went in search of me. He had not eaten anything all day and also had put two dafalganes so he became dizzy and when I left the pharmacy I found waiting on the sidewalk in front of the house. The day was no deviation without further delay and in the evening even we will have a stroll, but without emotion, since Mary had to go cowgirl position to avoid injury to the wound.

Today we returned to the emergency room for him to change the band and was far less traumatic, without using scalpels. After Mary left home and went shopping. With that that my girl has to take antibiotics accompanied by food twice a day, we will start regular lunch and dinner. Today's menu was simple: fried eggs. For those who do not know what it is:

Potato Fries. Fries
eggs.
The whole mixtures.
presto!

seemed easy but we had several problems. The first was that we have no freezer and the bag of frozen chips was smaller than 650 grams. So we had to do more than half a kilo of potato chips. I do not fit into the pan / fryer so I decided to make two batches. Big mistake: I should have done three (or four). The oil started coming out of the pot and I remembered a story my parents told me so ago of 15 or 20 years, as some of his friends had been burned with a fondue . Not that sputtered a bit (also) but that plan went out in Niagara Falls. To improve the situation, lisiadita overhead. After sending her to a corner I summoned up courage and took the pot, thinking of the granite I was going to leave all chiporroteos in the hand and arm. Do not know how but I gave none. But the troubles did not end there as the oil caught fire on the electric stove. Thanks to any view in the last movie I knew what to do: I grabbed a rag and threw it over. When the fire disappeared only thought is whether we would be looking at the neighbor.

the end, after cleaning the hob, cookers, oven and oil the ground, I did the potatoes in two batches, but in a larger pan. What bothers me most is that when buying potatoes saw other side, also from McCain, which were made in the oven. What life is.

Basketball Songs During Game



After shooting our last visit to Madrid, Maria and I we are back in the warmth of our home. And tell you tomorrow that this was a trip. Now I'll just mention that Italy won because of me. Since the end of the league that begins with the World Cup I managed to lose to multiple computers. First, as you can guess: Spain. Then Germany, then Brazil, then Portugal, and tonight, France. The reason is that I must be jinxed and preferred something they earned them than their opponents. Here

World lives differently. Play who you play, no matter who wins, there are always people celebrating. The bars and places where there are television screens are filled with fans from both teams (or four in some cases). Throughout the city there are balconies full of flags from around the world and heavier than his team celebrate winning the car honking. The truth is that this is true multiculturalism.

Can Eating Trebor's Be Harmful

vueltorl Back to Madrid Concerts and dishes piled

How To Produce A Squash Racket



As a year ago, this weekend we were in the Couleur Café, a world music festival held every summer in Brussels. On Saturday, after eating at home Bri, we went to see Gilberto Gil and Amparanoia. After a quick dinner in the international food stalls (I settled, like last year, for a spicy stew of Mali), Mary and I were watching Nicole Willis. We knew not, except by the program, and the truth is that we really liked. The concerts were great fun and we heard several versions of Bob Marley, a couple by Gilberto Gil and other ( Redemption Song) by Amparanoia.

Sunday also ate at the home of Brigitte and about 7 we headed back to the concerts. Tracy Chapman was playing and it showed as not a soul could not. Understandably we were able to park even closer than Saturday, just 50 meters from the door. We left the car on a zebra crossing but does that matter when there is a music festival. After seeing Tracy Chapman, who was great (although there were too many people) and also played a version of Marley, we saw a group called Afrikali. According to the program were the winners of the 6 th edition of the contest Music Crossroads Southern Africa . They were a real show, all black as coal (minus the battery was albino) white suits in which there were marks of black hands. There were two dancers, one of which was singing, and selling live albums at 5 €. We bought two before they announced that there was only one and we left to see the myth of funk George Clinton. I really wanted to see him and although we could not stay long because Mary currar today and it was almost 1, the concert was great. Were 40 and the mother. George Clinton was very fat and had colored dreadlocks. There was an old clad only in a diaper and a young lamb fur pants (which had to be stalled by passing the probe kid!). When we hear the legendary Flashlight, which lasted about 10 minutes, we were happy and went to house.

I'm needling of both concert and too lazy because I have to wash many dishes that I have outstanding megacoladas and make two (or more). Not everything was going to be fun.

Virtually Jenna Username

Until September

long since finished Season 2 of Lost (Mary and I were the last, giving in the U.S.) and then we do not mind (too much) because we also were down the 2 nd Galactica. Those were the days where there was always prepared to see, warm and fresh out of e-mule! But it was our anxiety that we had just as well with all other episodes of that series. Until September episodes will not either.
resigned and found
We are delighted that the fool on the hill old tricks again. We had entertainment television for Tuesday night. We missed an episode because they changed it to Wednesday without warning (maybe in Spain if they did, but I doubt it, but the International Apañola TV does not warn of such things). But yesterday also found that just and will not return until at least after the summer. I decided to catch me

stoically, thinking that at least I had my beloved The world in 24 hours , a program that deals in depth with issues that come out every day in the news (Iraq, Iran ...) and those who never leave (Saudi Arabia, Mozambique ...). How I was wrong! When program ended his bearded presenter announced that he said goodbye ... until September.

thought that once finished college this would begin to be a month like the others, but no. That is the curse of the ninth month. ------



And things will happen in September, but I still can not pronounce those.

Purple Heart For Catching Std

Data "Real" Je suis

recently sent me a forward that I suppose many of you may have already read (the first time I did was made a matter of 5 or six years). It's one of those lists of facts "real" but unusual. Now I know Wikipedia, I have been researching and have found that some are false while others are true. Here are my conclusions:

1) It is impossible to lick your elbow.

2) Multiplying 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 you get 12,345,678,987,654,321

These two are so easy TRY yourselves.

3) The equestrian statues, the position of the horse's legs informs the rider how he died.

This is false, but sometimes match.

4) In the U.S. all have interstate highways one mile straight out of five, to be used as airstrips in times of war and / or emergency.

This is partially true. Those who did but the Yankees were not the Germans during World War 2.

5) The name Jeep comes from the abbreviation of General Purpose used by the U.S. military.

This is false as well.

6) The Pentagon has twice the necessary baths. because when it was built, the law required a dark bathroom and one for whites.

Unfortunately this is true.

7) It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

Although it is very difficult, not impossible.

8) Both Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra as William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616.

This is double trick. To begin Cervantes died on day 22 but was buried on 23. Ignore this happening, although the date is the same, it is not the same day as when Shakespeare died England still used the Julian calendar , while Cervantes did when Spain had already adopted the Gregorian calendar ) (in the current calendar had Shakespeare died May 3, 1616).

9) The quack of a duck ( quack, quack ) does not echo and nobody knows why.

This is false but has an explanation. It's a bit long so you can better yourselves read and hear a duck and with no echo for comparison.

10) Each king in a letter (from the French deck) represents a great king from history: King David (), Alexander (), Julio Cesar ( ♦ ) and Charlemagne ().

This is true even other figures also represent more people. But if you want him to refer me Wikipedia .

11) Right-handers on average live nine years longer than lefties.

Although in 1991 a study was published claiming that it has been proven not true. Anyway, the study was not based on genetic issues but said he lived lefties least the best chance of having an accident while living in a right-handed world.

12) The cockroach can live nine days without its head before starving.

According to Wikipedia, is "only" a week and does not seem to die of hunger because they can last one month without food. And not only that, can hold their breath for 45 minutes. Tremble, mortals!

13) Elephants are the only animals of creation that can not jump.

is true that can not jump ... which I doubt is that they are the only ones (which I have not checked).

14) Mosquitoes have teeth.

47, it seems.

15) The word "cemetery" comes from Greek meaning koimetirion "bedroom."

Right.

16) In ancient England people could not have sex without the King's consent. When someone wanted a child should apply for a permit to the monarch, who gave them a plaque to be hung on their door while they had relations. The plaque said "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (FUCK). That is the origin of such famous little word.

Nice try but no. not alone. Actually it is not clear from where the word in question, not as its English-language heteronym fuck that comes from 'bellows' .

17) During the Civil War, when troops returned to barracks without any casualties, put in a great Slate "0 Killed" (zero deaths). From this comes the expression "OK" to say everything is fine.

It is not known with certainty the origin of this expression, probably the most used around the world. There are several theories and this does not seem to be the most probable.

18) In the monasteries, while reading the Scriptures in referring to St. Joseph, always said "Pater Putatibus" and simplify "PP." Thus was born the call "Pepe" to Joseph. Mostly

.

19) In the New Testament book of Matthew says that "Furthermore easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven . "The little problem is that St. Jerome, translator of the text, interpreted the word" Kamelas "as the camel, when in fact referring to the thick rope with which vessels are moored to the docks.

Right.

20) When the English conquerors arrived in Australia, they were amazed to see some strange animals that gave incredible jumps. Immediately called a native (indigenous Australians were extremely peaceful) and I tried to ask by the name of the animal signs. Noting that the Indian always said "Kan Chu Ru " adopted the English word "kangaroo " (hence kangaroo). The linguists determined after meaning, which was very clear, the Indians wanted to say " do not understand."

really the word kangaroo comes from gangurru , a word of Guugu Yimidhirr, an Australian Aboriginal language. Referred only to the gray kangaroo (it seems that there are several!) But that's not important.

21) The area known as Mexico's Yucatan comes from the English conquest when one asked a native as they called there. The Indian said: " Yucatan." What the English did not know was that he was answering: "I'm not here ."

There are several similar stories but has never succeeded in proving its truth (or falsehood).

22) It took 22 centuries to calculate the distance between Earth and the Sun (149.4 million km). What if we had known long before someone would have thought 1,000,000,000 multiplied by the height of the pyramid of Cheops at Giza, built 30 centuries before Christ.

I was going to put this theory was a bit caught by the hair (there was a gap of 3 million kilometers) when I discovered that although the minimum distance is 146 million km, the maximum is 152 ... If you do the media. I, in the case of the Egyptians, I believe it all.

23) You can make a cow up stairs but not the lower.

I have come to find an answer that has me convinced. I've found say it is because cows are too feeble legs. Not me. There is a page called Bovine Descenders offered in your cow down to where it was uploaded. For me it's a joke.

ma chouchou you ecole de français

For about a month Maria is also my French school (Although it only one hour a week ago, when it leaves the pit) and enjoy the classes and Viviane Edmond and their carlins Nichuan and Sunna. Yesterday was her first class with Viviane and this when it was learned that Mary was my girlfriend said Aaahh, you est la petite amie de Nicolas, you chouchou de l'ecole! So it turns out I'm like Agnan, which goes in the books of Nicholas The small, but without being a nerd and without wearing glasses.

I think everything is because once I went to Paris to visit the ex-pariseños, Edmond I sent a postcard. The whole front office is full of postcards sent alumni of all places imaginable but the rarity of my post was that instead of appearing the typical image of the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, just had a quote from Camus that read, "Je donc je me suis Revolte." I went "cheap" postcard, do not you think?

Message To Welcome Newborns

Family and Apana, Apana and naadi ma!

This weekend my parents came to visit my sister. As you can imagine, there were two days of good food, shop and sightsee galore. Among the "Highlites" of the weekend were the Marchée aux Puces, the Delirium Tremens (we are not very original, true), the Museum of Comic and Bruges. Also went to several and varied restaurants: one Italian, one Japanese, one Belgian and one of turist fully Grote Markt in Bruges, the worst and most expensive. The

Marchée aux puces my mother bought me an old photo album with which I am amazed. For a while, just over a year or maybe two, I collect old photos. Especially portraits or everyday life situations (ie, not so much landscapes or the like). I love how people dressed, hair and imagine what happened to them and why they will waste your photos. My new album blew my mind because "narrates the life of a family from 1951 to 1973, so well I can go watch them grow. But I have not had time to see well.

Mary went quickly into the familiar anecdotes after jumping a red light with her in-laws in power in the car. My father asked scared: Does that here you can? ) Obviously not. To top it off, they asked one of the most popular dishes in a Belgian restaurant we went to dinner Saturday: Ris de veau et Rognon the Moutarde et jesequoi . It was fairly proactive and asked what was the 'ris' (neck meat) but he went to ask about the 'Rognon'. When he discovered it was kidney, and the front plate, eat insisted all forms. When I came to the arcades, forced her to quit. There are already similar family experiences, as when Pepe begged my sister not to tell him my mother did not like the gazpacho ... with my mother back. Still, Pepe insisted on drinking a glass and "loved it." Marta says she is his favorite dish. (Pepich, if you're reading me, I'm with you).

On the other hand, Janneke Pis (the little sister of Manneken Pis Meona) miraculously worked this weekend. I think I've said it once: it the marginalized have a blind alley and behind bars ... and above did not work. In Spain already had complained (rightly) an association feminist sexism and wife beating.

Finally I comment what you already know: Spain won yesterday. Yop Mary and went to see him with some friends to a bar near the Asturian Midi station. It was very different compared to the first party and that I only saw me in a Belgian bar and emotion was lower. Instead I cried yesterday, I screwed up (with love) in the Tunisian players and also in English. Furthermore, as we started losing the victory tasted better. And that I'm not furbolero ...

Ikusa Otome Suvia 4 Screen

Mmmmmm, lluviaaa ...

seems impossible to read this and more living in Brussels. After a week of intense heat, humid and oppressive, it has been raining. They told me that the stalled only last until today but this morning I refused to believe it. The sun was shining and our house was a real sauna. In the afternoon the clouds started to arrive. And at 23:30 it has started to rain. Once again, Brussels is like a clock.

As we have the windows open wide, I can hear the light rain was falling and I feel like entering the cool (not cold) at home. I really needed. I hope this falls a good night. And even make a little scratch. I love when you fall off pikes peak, it seems that at any moment will break the windows, and I'm in my duvet watching the flashes of lightning and hearing the occasional thunder security that goes beyond double glazing.

Anyway, back to the reality of everyday Brussels, I also hope that tomorrow will be sunny again. Or at least this weekend. I think not. -------------------------------


ONE HOUR AFTER UPDATE: It does not rain

sun, heat and free classes a year in Brussels

Since we returned from Madrid, the heat is unbearable. Our landlord cut the heating gas in March, taking advantage of a sunny weekend that was. Although the house was a bit "cool" we thought necessary to ask not to reconnect the gas until about a month ago, when it passed through Brussels a cold snap and we nearly froze. I even went back to put the winter coat, long underwear and wool scarf. But at home we could not and so we asked Mohammed that we "give heat." He said he was out of Brussels and would do as he could, which was the following weekend, a day before he started to get hot (never know if it was racaneo or luck).

That was Friday before going to visit Madrid. And since we returned, the heat is death. You can not live. In Spain but I will make sure that everything is better prepared for the heat. This Sunday we take and we went to Bois de la Cambre, a kind of retreat that we have next door. Buy Fruit and anti-sun cream factor 20 (which if I do not burn) and we spent the day talking and playing cards scattered on the grass. We were in front of a pond where ducks and had all but bathing was not an option. To give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the water was dirty, had a sign saying that if someone wanted to feed the ducks, hiciese the favor of putting food on the shore and not throw it overboard to avoid cogiesen Gobtubby (which, as indicated in parentheses, is a fatal disease.)

In another vein, last Thursday I went to ask Edmond, my teacher of French, that the will had to pay for it mois prochaine . [When I returned to the fold (and I was in class last summer) I told him I was looking for work as just going to take classes for a month (which is more expensive than if you take two months of injury), he offered me that if the end of that period found no gigs, I would charge as if he had caught the pack of two months from the beginning.] Actually did not even know when the month had been paid and when I asked when I had to pay the following me told me not to worry, that he could continue to learn for free. I'd be delighted, of course. Are the kinds of things that go up the morale and confidence, things that always goes missing when looking for work unsuccessfully.

Milena Velba Pump Images



Today marks one year of my arrival in Brussels. The first time I came, on April 21, 2005, was to visit but soon returned. In the beginning was also seen, only three months to spend the summer with Mary and learn some French. But a month later I decided to stay until further notice. Mary and I spent two months looking for a house to ourselves at that time and even shared an apartment with Tina and did not plan to stay in that position for one year. After much searching, we moved on 1 September.

At that time I also found another thing I'm looking back now. Work. I was a few months Echoes in the magazine but then the "bargain" is out and I had to point to unemployment, not a strike and that incurs black magazine with all its disadvantages. And so I, stuck at home looking for work through my web friends: EuroBrussels , Brusselsjobs , xPats , CategoryNet , JobsAbroad , Eurojobs consultants and others more sporadically.

The general balance of the year has been pretty good. Mary and I each day we are more comfortable. I met many people and I defend myself a little French, but I still have much to learn and practice. The only thing I need is a job. I've done a few interviews (some that I have mentioned on this blog and others not) but for now has not left any gigs. At least I have served to practice the art of being interviewed for a job and climb a little morale of the unemployed, always a little low. If work is bad, finding a job is worse.
