			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Recently, we have a very cold siberian weave- It's difficult to do something interesting but........ In fact, people stay at home warmmer than go outside. Do you have any idea?<br />What do you usually do with that weather? Do you have any plan with that kind of weather? <br /><br />Actualmente, tenemos una ola de fr&#237;o siberiano. Es muy dificil hacer algo interesante pero..... De hecho, la gente se queda en casa m&#225;s caliente que ir fuera. Tienes alguna idea?<br />&#191;Qu&#233; sueles hacer con este tiempo? &#191;Tienes alg&#250;n plan con este tipo de tiempo?]]></content:encoded>

Aunque a cualquier hora cae bien.<br />Me fascina el coco de agua y el dulce de coco.<br />Todav&#237;a queda bondad en mi tierra. <br />Todav&#237;a nos mojamos en la calle cuando llueve...

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Do you know what SOPA is? And its Spanish counterpart Ley SindeWert? Hurry up, go to Wikipedia before they shut it down! <img src="http://myintercambio.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/smile.png" alt="Smile" /><br /><br />To sum up:<br /><br />1. In Spain if the law is enacted, which I think it is now, a website that may host material protected by copyright, can be shut down based on the decision of a Commision (people chosen from the Ministry of Culture) and not a judge.<br /><br />2. The Spanish law, according to what Wikileaks brought to light, was based on the pressure of record companies that acted as a lobby.<br /><br />3. There is no need to prove there is real damage to copyrights, but the law may act if there are, for example, links to copyright material in a website.<br /><br />4. There will be a blacklist of offenders. In case the servers or hosting companies are not Spanish, that Commision can block the domain and the IP.<br /><br />What I think is that new means of sharing, require new models to make profit from, and not try to apply old models into new means of communication.<br /><br />----<br /><br />Here I introduce you to a Spanish vlogger I love. The challenge here is to write down the lyrics of this song.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/csBUUEz5Wk8&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/csBUUEz5Wk8&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />La ley &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; est&#225; al acecho<br />protegiendo los derechos<br />de su amado &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />Se mueven por &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; quieren que &#42;&#42; est&#233;s<br />un pasito por &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />Ellos quieren &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />la propiedad intelectual<br />&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; qui&#233;n me dice a &#42;&#42;<br /><br />Que la intelectualidad<br />est&#225; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <br />con Justin Bieber por &#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>I want to break free!</i><br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>Ai, si eu ti pego</i> (Last hit in Spain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm55lU9knw)<br /><br />(digression)<br />[Perd&#243;n, perd&#243;n<br />que esta canci&#243;n ya est&#225; muy gastada.<br />A nadie le gusta, pero bien que la bail&#225;is como si no hubiera un ma&#241;ana cuando suena, &#191;verdad?]<br /><br />No la voy a cantar por eso.<br />y porque tiene &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />Cerraron Megaupload<br />&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; sabemos que eso no es<br />lo &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; para ti.<br /><br />Tambi&#233;n cay&#243; Megaporn<br />y ahora est&#225;s de &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />Se lo llev&#243; el &#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; buscan censurar<br />&#42;&#42; quieren colaborar.<br />Su m&#233;todo es &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />A este paso acabaremos<br />luchando por los derechos<br />de &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>I want to break free!</i><br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>Rabiosa&#8230;</i> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXMs3nrwGo4)<br /><br />(digression)<br />[Bueno, no puedo cant&#225;rtela porque Shakira<br />canta en hebreo y yo hebreo no s&#233;.]<br /><br />Por eso<br />Y porque tiene &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />De &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; parece que<br />se han &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />pero, tranquilo, que<br />han sacado otra ley.<br /><br />Esta &#42;&#42;&#42; se llama ACTA<br />y es lo &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />la cuesti&#243;n es &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br />Cuanto m&#225;s, mejor.<br /><br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>I want to break free!</i><br /><br />Y &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; &#161;eo!<br />porque &#42;&#42; &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; cantarte:<br /><i>Un, dos, tres&#8230; &#161;Dale! &#161;Ya t&#250; sabes!</i> (Pitbull e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4rmkFsTIVQ)<br /><br />(digression)<br />[&#191;Dice algo m&#225;s en las canciones? &#191;Verdad que no?]<br /><br />Por eso no te lo puedo cantar<br />Y porque tiene &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;<br /><br />&#161;Qu&#233; obsesi&#243;n con el &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;!<br />Como dice Iker Casillas (Real Madrid goalkeeper)<br />Vete de fiesta con el &#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hace una semana y una mitad, empec&#233; el semestre de primavera de mi segundo a&#241;o de la universidad. Este semestre hago cinco cursos - dos de espa&#241;ol, uno de italiano, uno de historia, y uno de filosof&#237;a. Aunque hay dos cursos de espa&#241;ol, son muy diferentes porque uno es de literatura espa&#241;ola y otra es de la gram&#225;tica. El primer curso se llama Imperio del Espect&#225;culo y se trata del teatro del imperio espa&#241;ol durante los siglos decimosexto y d&#233;cimosepto. Ya es una clase muy interesante y he aprendido mucho de la cultura y el teatro de la &#233;poca. El segundo curso de espa&#241;ol es una clase de gram&#225;tica avanzada, conversaci&#243;n, y composici&#243;n. Vamos a aprender y repasar mucha gram&#225;tica. Tambi&#233;n es un curso intensivo de la escritura y por eso vamos a escribir muchos ensayos sobre varios temas. Pienso que va a ser dif&#237;cil pero &#250;til. Mi clase de italiano es de nivel intermedio y es el quarto curso de italiano que he hecho. Por eso, trabajamos con todos los aspectos del idioma - la escritura, la lectura, la escucha, y la gram&#225;tica - para mejorar la fluidez. El curso de historia se trata de la historia de Latinoam&#233;rica despu&#233;s de el reinado del imperio espa&#241;ol hasta ahora. Satisface uno de los requisitos generales de historia (el de historia fuera de Europea o los Estados Unidos) que necesito completar antes de graduarme. Pero, tambi&#233;n es un curso que me interesa y que quer&#237;a hacer. &#161;Dos por uno! El &#250;ltimo curso es el de la filosof&#237;a. Este es el curso que me interesa lo m&#225;s m&#237;nimo pero tengo que hacerlo para el requisito general de filosof&#237;a. La clase se trata de la &#233;tica y, por eso, pienso que por lo menos va a ser &#250;til en mi vida. Sin embargo, no tengo la mente de un fil&#243;sofo y no me gustan las ideas abstractas. Pero mi profesor es muy simp&#225;tico y espero que tenga paciencia conmigo. Pienso que va a ser un semestre exigente y con mucha tarea pero interesante y divertido tambi&#233;n.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, talking with Michael he told me he would like to find some Spanish books with  pictures so he would read and understand better the stories. I searched on the web and I found a good place (I think). The page is from Instituto Cervantes, which it's the better place for you to learn Spanish. <br />There are 3 levels, basic, intermediate and advanced. Just chose whatever it's better for you. I hope you like it!! <img src="http://myintercambio.com/file/pic/emoticon/default/smile.png" alt="Smile" /><br /><br />http://cvc.cervantes.es/aula/lecturas/<br /><br />Let me know if you liked it!]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Singing in the shower this morning, it occurred to me that the guy who wrote the lyrics for the musical "man of lamancha" (Joe Darrion, apparently, thank you wikipedia) must have studied spanish at some point. Perhaps he had to read the book in class. I say this because, even allowing for the fact that the words need to fit the melody, no english speaker would have ever penned the line "I am I", (Soy yo) they would have gone with "It is me" (es m&#237;) if  they wanted to keep the same number of sylables. (and oddly,that would have sounded ridiculous) ok so perhaps they would have written "Here am I"  <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vS8rpt1y6lk&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vS8rpt1y6lk&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />"It's me"  must be difficult for the spanish speaker as not only is it technically incorrect but it also employs the neutral pronoun "it" which doesnt seem to exist in spanish. If you showed an english child a picture of themselves and asked, "whos that"? they would answer, "its me"  an older more precocious child might reply, "it is I" if they wanted to show how clever they are (or if they wanted to be difficult), but nobody would ever say "I am I".<br /> <br />As I write this I wonder whether I have misunderstood. Given that situation, i.e. "pointing at an image" would a spanish speaker say "es yo"? although even if they did we could translate that as "he is I".<br /><br />If, returning home late at night, your parner calls out in the darkness, who is there? would you whisper "mauricio" (obviously this will terrify her if your name is not mauricio) or "soy yo" ? the english speaker will always respond "its me"<br /><br />I wonder why? nowadays we do it because everyone else does but i wonder how it got started. English is such a self centered language "I AM hungry" instead of "I have hunger", "I AM surprised" instead of "it surprises me". yet we cant manage to say "I AM I"]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Nowadays everybody is surrounded with advertisings products that are bad for our health such as: cigarettes and alcohol. Some people think that these products should be definitely banned, but the companies say that it is people&#8217;s decision to consume it or not. I will consider both points of view.<br /><br />On the one hand, it is morally wrong to advertise something that can damage your health, but both products are advertised in different mass media. What is ironic is the fact that enough warnings are already given on cigarette packets but people still consume it.<br /><br />On the other hand, it depends on the people if they want to consume alcohol or cigarettes. People should be allowed to make up their own minds. In addition to this, a ban would be against freedom of ideas.<br /><br />On balance, I think consuming alcohol or cigarettes is up to people. Each person decides what to do with his or her life. It is a God-given right.]]></content:encoded>
