American Roulette $0.01 Minimum Bet

Spark (literal) of revolution Televicio 1x06

The story of how he started the First World War is known: the driver of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand left his route wrong street in Sarajevo, and accidentally found the activist Gavrilo Princip, who took the opportunity to kill him. Possibly have been a war anyway, but this occurred because the circumstances, far and near, converged all together on 28 June 1914.

On December 17, 2010 Mohamed Buazizi (Bouazizi, transcribed into French), 26, left his modest house in the village of Sidi Buzid of 40,000 inhabitants, in the dusty heart of Tunis, with his trolley full fruit and vegetables to sell in the market, as had been done since the age of ten. I was worried because he had a debt, an astronomical amount of 180 euros, and thought I would never achieve the dream of his life: a van to stop having to pull cart. So I had to sell their merchandise on and off.

Once in the market, little was presented with a municipal inspector, Faida Hamdi, 45, who confiscated his fruits and vegetables do not have permission to sell in order. Other sellers say, in the village there are three possibilities in this case: running away, abandoning your merchandise, pay the official fine, equivalent to several days collection, or reach an unofficial agreement with the inspectors. In other words, bribery. Mohamed decided that day, where to look you, I would not do any of the three. When he tried to avoid being cogieran apples, the inspectorate for slapped him. According to witnesses, he also spat upon him and knocked the truck scales, and inspection assistants beat him.

Mohamed, who according to his own sister has never been either an angel or a selfless martyr, got angry, went to the municipal office a few blocks away and demanded the return of his things. He turned to shake. Then he went to the regional government, where this time he hit, but yes he was told that odd. And to see the governor in person, even less. No one paid attention when he said: "As I see, I light my fire." Less than an hour after the start of the incident, at half past eleven, Mohamed returned with a couple of bottles of paint thinner is poured them over, asked for the last time to see the governor, and set himself on fire as he said he would. Severely burned ninety percent of the body. The local hospital was little they could do for him, and took him to the nearest big city, Sfax.

Meanwhile, half the town gathered outside the government building, where police exacerbated the problem rather than solve it. Five days later, during a demonstration on the same site, a 22 year old man committed suicide by electrocution, while shouting "No to misery! Not to stop!". The protests, spurred by the Internet, began to rise across the country. The police opened fire on demonstrators, causing even more deaths.

to all this, Muhammad had not died. Seeing that it was becoming a symbol, it led to the best hospital in the country, in the capital, and the president of the nation's visit, all contrite. Eventually died on January 4, eighteen days after the incident. His funeral was crowded. The following weekend, twenty-four people died in police firing during protests over. The president fled the country, and instead of their photos, people began to take pictures of Mohamed. The rest you know: the revolt spread to four other countries, where more people as well, perhaps also called Mohamed, has been living in the same way as him.

has now become a martyr, and that reality can be distorted a bit, but today it is more difficult to brew controls, at least while there are those who keep asking questions. For example, somewhere was said that Mohamed was a university degree in computer science, making history in the typical lack of opportunities even for people amply prepared that strives to outdo itself. In fact, Mohamed left school at age 14.

also really, though it has inspectors from life (mention of corruption in the country have appeared in the filtered cables WikiLeaks), Mohamed just jumped the fuse is the day when he hit a woman a cake in public, so his days of anger probably had more to do with that than with other things. That does not mean, obviously, to accept the reality of the lives of many people in many countries were bad enough to have reached the same result by another route, and if a cake is causing a revolution is coming to be seen.

And indeed, the villain of the case was until now a symbol of progress: a world single male and a job "man" has ended up in jail "for their own protection." Meanwhile, is preparing a film about Mohammed, a Kuwaiti has offered ten thousand dollars for your truck, and said that a place in Paris could carry his name.

As Manuel Vicent said today in 'El Pais Semanal', "in ancient tyrants were overthrown by hitting a shot. Now the shot you've got to give you and the most we get is that the tyrant change the country taking a ton and a half of gold. "

Facebook Why Are People Posting Numbers

News USA January 2011 Televicio

These are the 16 new (and media) released during the first month of the year on American television.

Insecurity (Release 4 January)

In previous posts I said that within sitcoms I like everything, but this is rather lie still. It's a Canadian series that parodies spies and villains, and it shows a little lack Media and the charisma of the actors.

Do it fixed / go a bit further / Leave it? - Let it

Bob's Burgers (9 January)

Animated Series about a family that has a burger. The family's last name is Belcher (burping), so you can see over the issue. Despite that, the Graciet are usually not fart, poop, pee, but it does not run from using a certain vulgarity in its humor. It's like a hamburger, go: sometimes you feel like, sometimes you get bad to think what it can hold. It also follows the pattern of Bob, the father, just try to defend as you can in the situations he throws his business, his wife, health inspectors and three kids each one more problemático.Y even a cow.

Episodes (9 January)

As I said in my previous entry, 2011 begins with the year of "Inglés transplant." Up to three series at once (see below) have debuted in a week that are remakes of British series, and to top it we have this other, which is a British writer who move to Hollywood to make a remake of the series. As often happens in English comedies, much of the humor turns to embarrassment, the kind of saying things in the wrong time. As a comedy, the characters may be somewhat exaggerated (the American producer with more money than sense, the obsession with beauty, visitors posh fucking repressed English) but certainly more of a thing is based on (and will be even worse) in reality. Special mention Matt LeBlanc, who was Joey on 'Friends' (and 'Joey'), and makes of himself with his gray hair natural forties. Although they continue to present a very positive, drinker and bon vivant as yet not without brain

Shameless (January 9)

First of the aforementioned British remakes. In the UK, this series is already about 90 episodes in 8 seasons since 2004 and is a "dysfunctional family" (adjective fashion) without mother, alcoholic father and not has given a stick to water life, and with six children who grow up as they can, between the eldest daughter, neighbors, pickups and who pass through it. Transplanted from Manchester to Chicago, maintains the level of dirt in the home district of the same type, foreplay or so out of control everywhere, and not one "normal" family in sight. The title means "No Shame" (or "scoundrel"), and the viewer must decide whether to admire these people for making a living or is repulsed by them when they do things like take an old lady in a nursing cheat an inspector.

The Cape (January 9)

Another attempt (failed) to make a good superhero series. A police officer's death hidden for good arm / hidden with a layer against a private company and their evil minions. They help a circus troupe (wtf?) Layer that provides the title, with which the holder is able to grab and hit things, and that "is made of pure silk spider" (wtf again?). It does not seem very clear whether or not the powers we have, as it only says it's all illusion, but I do not school, really. There are many elements comiqueros, as being in a fictional city (Palm City), having strange and colorful villains and even the kid with the main character read a comic called 'The Cape'. Because all this, the main character has a wife and son who do not know who is not dead, you're out partying. Best of all is when she goes to the roof to see the kid difrazado Cape, as the Chicken Colorao in 'Red Eagle'. In short, that even the producer has cut the season from 13 to 10 episodes. Make it

Lights out (January 11)

Best of the new batch, and may the year. Is a retired boxer, his family, his gym and its economic problems. The title is a pun on the nickname of the boxer, Patrick 'Lights' Leary. Good scripts, good characters and room to grow within a well-known genre and too danger that things sound a longer view. Strongly recommended. Make it

Off the Map (January 12)

'Grey's Anatomy' in the jungle, it's like have sold (and not the first series recently sold mentioning 'Grey's Anatomy'). Some little doctor very lush, very, very Yankee goons will be "somewhere in South America, reflecting a huge lazy writers who do not even choose a specific country, lest they have to investigate something. It's all a green generic with its waterfall, its cantinita and Tapiocca Colonel shorts, the local population speaks English seseante, nor are the poorest of the poorest, but it is remote-but-tourism, in order to get American patients and not have to do the whole series in English. The characters will save lives, rescue people, get life lessons from each other, love, hate and drink to forget at the end of the shift in the midst of incomparable framework. I have been three episodes, but not for me, really, but certainly has its audience. Make it

human (17 January)

Second British import, about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost house they share today. At least they do facilitated to summarize, understand and even anticipate what can happen. Whoever fundamentalist vampire theme as I hate with all his heart that the fellow to ride day and if such a thing, and mania is everywhere lately. Apart, of course drink blood bag. That's not a vampire or anything. I'll give a little leeway to do, but put it at the end of the tail. Make it

Harry's law (January 17) David E Kelley

is one of the biggest names in American television, and it is a series of specialist lawyers: "The law in Los Angeles', 'The lawyer', 'Ally McBeal' and 'Boston Legal'. As seen from the list, the degree of peculiarity of their lawyers has been increasing with each project, and this is the last attempt to get out a bit of a genre trilladísimo standard, which is a bit risky, because throw rarejas what the characters may draw a lot when you want to take the case seriously. Or are we to mushrooms or a Rolex. The pilot promised an absolute disaster, with a history unable to justify how a patent attorney just boring faux defender of criminals / selling designer shoes (no, not an error), but the protagonist is none other than Kathy Bates and that is an important value. The following two episodes have been much more positive. The cases were brought, tied and untied in 40 minutes, and there are speeches and debates on the stand on major issues before judges allowed them to be rantings and impressive and all. Good for when you feel like a little pill of legal drama not too dramatic. Make it

Skins (17 January)

Third of British recruits. Is a series about a group of dieciseisañeros to spend the day thinking (and doing) no drinking, drugging and fucking (or try). The name comes from the papers, or "skins" for rolling joints. Rarely see them go to class, and almost always are partying at home each other. Parents do not appear anywhere, or when they do they are a bunch of idiots, and almost all adults who leave. The original series in the hands of MTV in its American version, further underlines the fact that it targets an audience of the same age if not dream of doing something similar, at least conforms to see and fantasize. How to be cool to leave your parents house a week and will leave you a thousand dollars in an envelope. In addition, the American version removed a gay boy and a girl lesbian adds. Many advertisers, such as Clearasil, have withdrawn their ads from the intermediate. What in Europe was little more than a sort of cult teen series (in France, apparently all the rage), as in the U.S. of A becomes a cause celebre. Make it

Retired at 35 (January 19)

sitcom is the third year in the middle is the subject of a thirties coming back to live with their parents (after 'Big Lake' and 'Shit my dad says'). In all three cases ignores the economic and moral suffering, and the scripts are going more for the generational joke and how the child has to endure a peculiar father. In this case we are in Florida, where all the Americans withdraw, and therefore it's going to difficulty urinating and flirting in the bingo. Be seen for now. Make it

(January 20)

's beautiful, lives on a boat and takes the red-soled Louboutin heels now put all superwomen (just give luck: Piper Perabo took a nomination Emmy for a role quite bland in 'Covert affairs', and got out or not to run). Is a mediator of conflicts, but also a lawyer, or something like that, same way as you solve a robbery at a coffee trial a domestic dispute. All very spontaneous and instinctive, without trying, because I'm worth. In a country where the work ethic is what is promoted everywhere, it is curious the attraction they feel for characters who can do everything without apparent effort. Or rather, they seem to do things without effort. You can fall out of bed and combed and made up, mismatch wrongs while you take the Starbucks coffee, and decide what you take to bed. Or not. Make it

fixed / go a bit further / Leave it? - Go a bit further. Sarah Shahi is too good to quit. And he went on 'The L word '.

Perfect Couple (January 20)
more
Another sitcom about three couples as friends and their neuroses and quirks. Seems to want to be more subtle than overtly based on jokes (in fact, dispenses canned laughter), but it has to curdle a bit yet.

Portlandia (January 21)

More than a sitcom, is a series of sketches where the two main actors, male and female, make parodies various characters based on people and situations in Portland, Oregon in the northwest alternative geek, skim, organic, and eco-obsessed country. Part of the humor may be somewhat difficult to understand for foreigners, and some the sketches are obviously better than others. There are some quite rare, the truth, and more curious than graceful. May be of interest to those seeking something different. Make it

Onion News Network (ONN) (21 January)

My new favorite comedy. It's a parody of the news Americans seem increasingly info-tainment shows (info-entertainment areas) than purely information services. There is a large study by the hostess skirt and heels blonde walks giant screen going expert correspondent while fast-talking news completely invented, some of a point which would be true, such a report with all media delivery on the idiots who come by car to buy when they are warned that there is time, or the arrival of a terminator determined to end the future with Suri Cruise . The funny thing is that everything is done with the serious tone that really put the news without putting parodic voices, but with a very satirical scripts. In fact, the series is an expansion of the newspaper 'The Onion', a kind of 'El Jueves' to the U.S., created in 1988. To make matters worse, while presenters speak even more hilarious headlines appear in the "crawl" on the screen below, which hardly gives no time to read. Thus, can be difficult to follow, but if it manages one, it is a full axis. Make it

Spartacus: Gods of the arena (21 January)

This is the "half-set" that deíamos at first. Because cancer sufferer Andy Whitfield, star of the original Spartacus, are used the time to do this prequel while healing. Unfortunately, it was not possible to recover to the level required for a demanding role, and the series will continue with another Spartacus next year. Meanwhile, the prequel account the five years before the arrival of the ludus of Batiatus Spartacus, and therefore, we again see the characters of the first series. Very careful who has not seen the original series, however, because this prequel begins by reviewing what happened in it, so it's a bit of spoilers in a pure state. Moreover, it has the same tone of fake blood, muscles, sword slashes, nudity, sex, mass and dialogues full of fucks and cocks. In other words, a "Do it fixed" like a house. Make it

Working class (28 January)

sitcom about a blonde, divorced twice, to try rubbing the forty raising three children and brother-based journal Curran in a super. And based on lowered the neckline and skirt get when he wants something from the boss, the dentist or the ex-husband. Even though he always repents and confesses and such. It is best veteran Ed Asner's fellow work mates. Nothing special, be seen. Make it
