Game & Watch or the irreplaceable charm of Mr. censor


Menudo appliance that has fallen into my hands! A Game & Watch Fire of year 81, after finding piles of model fit, works great.

But one thing. For people unfamiliar with the Game & Watch, is an electronic game series from Nintendo released in 1980 and were the predecessors of the portable consoles. Each had a single game with two difficulty modes (Game A and Game B) and the control was quite simple, usually with only two buttons (left and right) but then some including a crossbar. The games were very simple but extremely addictive and had a variety: it came to market about 60 types between 1980 and 1991. In addition, served as a clock and alarm clock, so it never went out.

Now they have become a collector's item and are sold at a high price. As for my experience, since I saw a couple of them in a museum in Milan and later in New York Nintendoworld, I loved the gadget and, in my desire known collector, which is attached to my date birth would not let me enjoy them, I wanted to get one as it were. He remembered a great reissue they did for Game Boy Color classic games from the Game & Watch I let a neighbor and to which I took several hours (which by the way, I'd also have uu). Well, suddenly a week ago I find a table in the living room of my grandparents, who had apparently been of my cousins.


With the tremendous graphics that are made today can not believe it does not surpass the level of fun and addiction of these little games. In this particular Fire, which belongs to the series Widescreen, you drive to two firefighters who have a trampoline, and various puppets (which later became known as Mr. Game & Watch) jump from the windows of a building in flames. Your mission is to prevent dropping them and guide them safely to the ambulance on the other side of the screen. For my part, I've taken a good number of games (451 points record in Game A) and I even wore it one day wake up (what a wonderful awakening with mono sound of the gadget!). To see him in action, here are a video in which I see my sister playing. And if you had any or you have any, I would like to share your experiences in the comments.

Friendship Bracelet Instruct





I found it very interesting article I found in The Country about film censorship in Spain, coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of premiere in our country La Dolce Vita, one of the masterpieces of Fellini, in reality twenty years old. What led to the banning of the film was not so much the famous scene in which Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg bathing in the Trevi Fountain as the party almost orgiastic Sutri Castle.

censorship, conducted by the High Board of Film Orientation, was often crude, as when the pair were brothers adulterous Mogambo John Ford. It is seen that incest was preferable to adultery, it does not conceal the kisses or jealousy, but then removed in Pasolini's Oedipus Rex the scene where the protagonist Yoclasta sleeps with his own mother, essential to understanding the tragedy. And the height of tacky was to change the bleak end of such films as Bicycle Thief or The 400 Blows adding a voiceover that radically transformed the meaning.

Anyway, what else have we lost in those years of Franco's regime, not only on film censorship coming from outside, but rather on the production country, which was quite limited to geniuses like Berlanga. Country ... If you want to know more do not fail to read the original article .

34 Weeks Pregnant, Normal Fetal Heart Rate

real slow motion



How wonderful Tempus II, the video that was filmed Philip Heron, a British student of art and design, which are different impacts in slow motion. From a hammer smashing an orange to a karateka breaking a pile of bricks, the scenes are truly spectacular and the end result is very artistic. Although completely different style is also very well the first part, I Tempus. I recommend you see them full screen, of course.

How To Remove My Sony Car Radio

Origin or do not trust the bulk of Internet



When a friend told me about the release of Origin , the new film by Christopher Nolan, I could not help feeling curious about the aroused criticism Filmaffinity , one of the most visited websites about movies. It turns out that just premiered nearly reached a score of nine points, which was then down to 8.2 today. To give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe scale with which we deal, the films with the highest score on the website are Godfather, with 9.1; The Godfather II, with 8.9, and City Lights with 8.7. Ie Source was for some time among the permanent fixture in the history of cinema.

With a very warm welcome, why not go see it? Needless to say, the forecasts were not met: sorry, but this is not a new masterpiece that gives a twist to this little creative film beginning of the century. As such, the film is not bad. The script is quite correct, very sow doubts and twists, following the trend of this intriguing film the end of 90 which involves both the brain of the viewer that they end up smoking while trying to uncover details of the plot, "though I must say that some aspects of it are a bit out of tune (since when the owner of a multinational risks to "control" the dirty work?) and on a good piece of footage, too many action scenes and explosions very far blockbuster that makes some pieces in a pretty boring hosts festival. Of course, the setting and background are quite original, with all these ideas in the levels of sleep and the possibility of drilling into them.

So what hell is what happened on the Internet? Why do so many people has been launched to give such a high score to the film and why it has been highly praised by critics (according to excerpts of the press that appear on the same sheet Filmaffinity )? We live in a society that tends to glorify the ephemeral, to inflame with something with the same ease with which it is set aside and that is further obscured with bold visual montages and convoluted plots. I would like to see the passion it Source within, say, 10 or 15 years. The same happens to the journalists, who tend to use big words to give ground to some which will not be discussed shortly, exaggerating its importance. E

Internet is the main vehicle of expression of this, where everyone expresses their opinion and word travels like wildfire. We were obsessed with democratic criteria apply to all, and we have to assume that things are not correct because it makes the most (even incorrect eye), but we are to form our own critical vision to distinguish between the different views. This reminds me of that poster that appears in The Simpsons : "50 million smokers can not be wrong!".

Finally, moral: Take with caution first worked-such views and opinions so beware of majority if not gone long enough to dilute the initial enthusiasm sometimes exaggerated.

Wedding Program Honoring Deceased Wording



not miss the videos I found in Here I was yesterday ... , where an anonymous Internet user shows the power of a mini gun made by himself, based on the shape and functioning of the Napoleonic cannon. It's really amazing what you can do with cans, plates, jars, bottles (amazing how Smirnoff bursts) and even a computer monitor. If were sold and would not hesitate to buy it, because the small cannon is lovely, aside from its amazing power. But in addition to being made entirely by hand (cost an arm and a leg), its creator can not put it on sale for legal reasons. And, this is a full-fledged weapon!

Schwarzkopf At Walmart

Caramba with small cannon hidden engravings of William Blake to


What was the surprise of the collector who in the seventies found innocent in a box of books Second-hand eight engravings of William Blake, dedicated to illustrating three of his works. These small pictures, which were bought by the Tate group earlier this year, are now part of the new exhibition at the Tate Britain in London, dedicated to the Romantic artists.

Many drawings and engravings by Blake are really disturbing, with those demons and form urine so characteristic of British poet. The style of some of them simple and defined lines, seems to be the precursor of the comics. Although I could not find references (memory write), I remember last year when I was at the Tate Britain had a special room devoted to the drawings of Blake. A work in particular caught my attention, a watercolor (I think) landscape on which was a landscape with trees whose lines reminded me of Giraud in Lieutenant Blueberry.

no doubt that these prints are a wonderful discovery of a versatile and eccentric artist, who, to give an example of his peculiar behavior, liked to sit naked with his wife in the garden of his house to read Milton.

Got My Tongue Pierced And My Mouth Feels Dry

Bugs microcospio


are really amazing photos of insects and mites that retired British scientist has taken Steve Gschmeissner with a scanning electron microscope. Particularly striking is the wide variety of existing forms and how some are complex, despite its diminutive size. The

has surprised me most was that of common silver minnow , whose meeting in the bathroom is my issue almost daily, and whose portrait heads this article. It turns out that this is a living fossil because its structure has remained virtually unchanged for 400 million years, preserving the appearance of the first insects that existed on Earth, who did not develop wings until later. By contrast, most non-winged insects come from ancestors they did have wings. Though easy to kill because of their poor reflexes, can live more than eight years and are really nasty when they appear suddenly from the pages of old books.

Cover Letter For Victoria Secret

What has been lost

In El Pais published an article today which a brief review of ten projects of films that did not go ahead because of the producers. They are all ambitious projects, super risky assumption that its promoters had an enormous success or a total ruin.

But what would have been wonderful to see Kubrick's Napoleon, played by Jack Nicholson, in the battle of Waterloo, surrounded by thousands of extras, something like Barry Lyndon's wonderful but way. Or that Batman in the forties directed by Orson Welles, starring Gregory Peck and the diva Marlene Dietrich as Catwoman, only seven years after the character appeared in his first comic. Not to mention the great (I have no doubt) Genesis Bresson film or subjective (from the point of view of the protagonist) of Hitchcock.

Anyway, we've run out of big jewelry. And which, lest we forget, the film is an expensive art and producers have to seek their profitability above all, what can we do.

I Think My Penis Is Small

cinema home receiver AM



You know that I normally do not talk about my career, Telecommunications Engineering, in this blog. But I think that this contribution may seem odd to those who you feel attracted to electronics. It is a subject that I had to do with my friend Alberto an AM radio receiver. The result you can see the photo above and in the accompanying video. The antenna is a bit limited, so you can only get a single station. Specifically has been designed to capture some around 1080 kHz (in Grenada Cadena SER, which receives more power.)

I commented a bit about the structure of the apparatus, whose components are welded into a plate of bakelite. On the left is the antenna, which is not only a ferrite cylinder with two coils of copper, which allows an input impedance higher or lower. The resulting circuit is tuned to 1 MHz or so, and is fitted with a variable capacitor.

The next stage is a common-emitter amplifier is also tuned to 1 MHz, which increases the level of the signal captured by the antenna. This is introduced into a mixer that multiplies with a harmonic signal with the same frequency as the station to listen (also fits with a variable capacitor) and, after filtering and removing high frequency components is obtained at last the voice signal demodulated.

The final signal is amplified and passed to the audio stage, that fits so you can hear the speaker. Everything is powered with 5 V, obtained from a 9 V battery from a controller (you can see above the speaker.)

I must say I quite enjoyed doing the radio, although it is true that sometimes a bit desperate and it is indispensable to access to certain equipment (oscilloscope, signal generator and DC source) to go testing each module separately, because, as mountain all at once probably will not work the first time.

Pinocchio: The vampire murderer


is clear that the rewrite of classic with vampire or zombie backdrop is fashionable. There is more to see, for example, Pride and Prejudice and zombies , where there is a new vision of Austen's novel.

Well, thanks to Jail Paper I heard of the existence of the graphic novel Pinocchio: A Vampire Slayer (already published two volumes), an adaptation of the famous story in which Geppetto killed by a vampire and decides to avenge his wooden son. And who better than to kill vampires that someone who has a wooden stake every time you tell lies.

course, an original idea for a comic that looks fun and I think it has come to our country (which is curious, to go to the comments link). Here you have the promotional video at the beginning of the work:

Most Powerful Combi Boiler 2010




Well, come August, the blog returns to its usual activity, at least for this month.

Anyone who has read The Iliad, by Homer, will have seen that in the battles, meticulously described, there are a lot of characters (not only warriors but also capricious gods) which sometimes confuse the reader. To help in reading or rereading of the work, the author of The Flying Fish, great cultural blog, has compiled data on different graphs of the work (number of casualties caused by each leader, number of ships of each army, etc.) and outlined what happens in every battle. This is a great idea and carefully crafted, allowing us to better enjoy the work and even go to a particular passage, we can follow step by step.

PS: If I have time, and making my recent stay in Dublin, might do something similar with Joyce's Ulysses ...
