Is Sleep Apnea A Pre Existing Condition

all Oscar winners 2011: few surprises among winners and contestants

Short (2/12/2011) : The betting of Oscar 2011.

If the ceremony did not came across too many surprises, the same is true of those who dared to publish their predictions . In any case one would speak more accurately, surprises children. Inma

. 15 hits in the major awards, including 3 goals in the four impossible (the best result in history): film, director, actor, actress, supporting actress, film animation, photography, song, costumes, makeup, sound editing, visual effects, short film, documentary and short film .

Juanma . 12 hits, including 2 of the four impossible, to reveal its significant land in the world of mortals, showing great vision movie, actor, actress, original screenplay, adapted screenplay, film, animation, song, art direction apparel, short, documentary and foreign film (the only one who has correctly).

Edu. 12 hits that mark their tendency to stability and betting on more than sure (although that does not include hardly a success in the major categories): movie, actor, adapted screenplay, film animation, photography, song, costumes, makeup, editing, sound editing, sound editing and visual effects . Agus

. 11 hits who are well but do not reach the level at which he usually does (which is what has to err on the favorite movie): actor, actress, supporting actor, original screenplay, adapted screenplay, film animation, costumes, makeup, sound editing, editing and sound editing . Montse

. 11 hits in broad synchrony (in right and wrong) with Costillita: actor, actress, supporting actor, adapted screenplay, animated movie, song, art direction, makeup, sound editing, sound editing and assembling .

Babel. 9 hits who are more than well for a rookie who has voted guided by stricter movie preferences: actor, supporting actor, original screenplay, film, animation, song, makeup, sound editing, sound editing and visual effects . Pepe

: 8 hits in my line of normal forgetfulness, unable to balance personal tastes, sociological theories and understanding of what is common sense and the tastes: actor, actress, photography, costumes, makeup, sound editing, editing and visual effects .

Robert / Drobes . 7 hits are not bad for someone who has returned to these votes after a long absence: actress, supporting actor, original screenplay, adapted screenplay, film, animation, soundtrack and song . Toni

. 7 hits who know little, especially because - like me - was swept away by some sociological aspects of the awards: actor, actress, supporting actor, adapted screenplay, film animation, song and assembly.

So I can only congratulate the winner (Inma), thank you all for participating , admonish inhibited Mese by a classic calendar and promise that the next edition can vote directly without copy / paste.

Until next year!!


Note. The four are impossible, short, documentary short, animated short film and documentary.

Mario Salieri Movies Free

closed, Care Santos, Books and Literature

Thanks to the editorial Planeta, on Wednesday 23 February, it the 23-F, could assist in Kafka Hotel Madrid for a meeting between the Catalan writer Care Santos and 10 lucky bloggers that we enjoy and a half hours of talk, confessions and views on the latest novel by the author, closed rooms, which goes on sale next March 8.

Care Santos Just met at the Hotel Kafka, in the presentation war scenarios, Andrea Jeftanovic . I love this place, a paradise for lovers of literature and books and I think Wednesday's match could not have had a better scenario.

You can read the chronicle of the on Books Arts and very soon you will also read the review Accountt life of the novel, and very kindly sent me Metro on Monday 21 galleys of the book, ie proofs.


When I went to the presentation had read 236 pages that I had been seduced, enthralled and excited. And I left there with a great desire to finish the novel and continue to discover the past, secrets and history of Lax, a family of Catalan gentry who lived in Barcelona during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

As happened in the meeting between bloggers and the writer Javier Sierra to present his latest novel, The lost angel, on Wednesday was also an intimate act, close, familiar. The organizers gave us water, soft drinks, beer and wine and several trays of sandwiches or flea. It seemed more a meeting of friends who meet at a coffee shop to talk about what they like the presentation of a book. Even ended up making a toast.

addition, I was lucky to meet other bloggers and Carlos de Magic Triad, Gemma Anika including books, Merche of week's newsletter , Milà Malena Tete, Bella Dreamers book, Paul and Carmen Entrelectores of Culturama , and re-match with Maria de am a hunter of shadows and books.

all talk among ourselves and with our own Care Santos not only closed rooms, but also the Internet, the blogosphere, creating characters, what we like to read and write relations and many authors and readers things that you can read in the chronicle of the presentation, by the way, I hope you like it.

I leave you with the synopsis of the novel and with photographs of the presentation.

Violeta She wants to turn the palace into the Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba legacy of his family, into a museum dedicated to his grandfather, a renowned modernist painter. During the renovation of the building appears the body of a woman. What identity behind that body? The investigation of this death allows Catalan writer shelling Care Santos family history of Lax, a powerful bourgeois caste, from the late nineteenth century to the present. The reader will know the miseries of this illustrious family saga, from the rumors that suggest that the Lax grandmother fled to Venezuela with the owner of the department store El Siglo, even overshadowing the figures of his grandmother Maria del Roser, the matriarch of the clan, and his father, Modesto. Exciting and attached to the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe novel mixes family mysteries and seductive scenario: a changing, modern city that explodes with the arrival of the Second Republic. A cool historical and social as Shadow of the Wind or The time between hook and no seams te suelta.

2009 Maytag Dishwasherheat Delay

The lost angel by Javier Sierra

Title: The lost angel
Author: Javier Sierra
Editorial: Metro
Year: 2011
Pages: 527
ISBN: 9788408099956

As you know, The lost angel, the latest novel by Javier Sierra, I got my hands on the book presentation held in Madrid on January 27, eight days before that she would adopt on sale Feb. 4. I left the presentation with a great desire to start reading through all the passion and enthusiasm that we had conveyed its author.

But despite the high expectations I had put into this work, I have to confess that I liked. At no time has come to get hooked, I was seduced and trapped me. I have not sent anything. Has left me indifferent and, at least for me, that's the worst that can happen to me a book.


I can not deny that the argument promised, a lot. The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Mount Ararat in Turkey, London, the U.S. president, police investigations, helicopters, nuclear submarines, the Ark of Noah, John Dee, angels, stones with supernatural powers and, above all, imagination, imagination.

Because even during the presentation Javier Sierra kindly explained in great detail how he had documented in writing this novel, traveling not only Galicia, but even climbing Mount Ararat, where supposedly there is the Ark of Noah, gave me the feeling that this novel is a story written by someone with boundless imagination.

overflowing As I just proved to me the plot. At no time did I have to get along with none of the characters. Julia Alvarez, a restorer who works at the Portico de la Gloria, her husband Martin, an American climatologist with a hidden past, many secrets and a very peculiar family, the agents of the U.S. president, the president, the English police that take care research, friends and relatives of Martin, members of the mysterious Eastern cult ...

characters are many, but none has appeared credible, approachable, human. In short, I have found it impossible to feel identified with any of them, much less come to understand their motivations, their behavior, their desires, their fears and their dreams.

gave me the feeling that at no time has deepened or the plot or the characters, who all passed over without stopping at nothing and that all that was done along the story was run, run and run. Really, at times the reading instead of enjoying myself, to help me unwind, to relax and be comfortable, which is what I expect from a book, all I got was overwhelmed without airing anything.

Another thing I liked is the continuing jumps, I mean. Although I think having short chapters help to read with rhythm, to engage the reader, and I think this is something positive, I no longer seemed so positive are those jumps between different scenes, characters and narrators. At the end I did not know if it was in Santiago de Compostela, in Turkey in London, U.S. or where.

And speaking of places. Another issue that has continually helped me out of the story are minor typos I found. Not many, but I recognize that I am very picky and cranky with these things, not stand and it gives me a lot of anger him in a book. For example, at one point speaks of the East of the Iberian Peninsula for a few lines down, on the same page, put there Galicia as far as I know, Galicia is in the West.

I've also found several expressions I have been very strange, I've been squeaking a lot. Can anyone explain to me how a rock collapses, how can you rub the meniscus instead of the knees continuously or why, on many pages, there are expressions like "the wind, cold, air, etc. snuffed? Would not it be easier to use the verb espabilar? Because, according to the dictionary of the RAE, the meanings of snuff are dispatched quickly, or end quickly, steal away secretly, and sever, remove one thing something that hinders or is it a flaw.

I'm not saying that this novel can not seduce, love or even excite me a lot of readers but of course he has not succeeded. It was probably my fault, do not say no. Had overly high expectations and the disappointment is even greater. To this we must add that this is the first novel I read by Javier Sierra. Until I met him in the presentation to me was a completely unknown author.

I know that in many cases, especially with his previous novel, The Secret Supper , has been compared to Dan Brown. And although this was the first book I read by this author, certainly to me if I was powerfully reminded to The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons or Eagle, books that I devoured a few years ago and that time I was excited.

However, I think it is the fault of the novel and not even the author, but my fault. Reading The lost angel I've noticed that in these years, my literary tastes have changed a lot. I do not like this type of novel, now on the books looking for different things, not saying they are no worse or better but certainly, if different. Seeking stories and profound characters, which I will find next, real, human, that make me feel, laugh, mourn, move something inside me that not only moves me and take me running from side to side without transmitting any more. However angel is, this book, of course, I have not exactly taken to heaven.

White Mens Before Period

narrate epic without (Value law)

I only read two books during military service: Pablo Neruda's memoirs and True Grit by Charles Portis because I had a great memory of the 1969 film version, directed by Henry Hathaway and starring John Wayne (the only Oscar of his career). Little more had to choose in the library of the detachment. Now that I've seen the version of the Coen agree with them that not just a Western novel, but a literary classic style The black arrow (my favorite adventure book of all time ) which coincidentally is set in the American West . A further argument about certain universal constants that the typical story conflict between cattle rustlers.

First, the Coens have a long history of fascination with the frontier stories that began with Fargo (1996), he exploded with No Country for Old (2007) and now - with Grit (2010) - full lands in the genre after beating the other two . Second, the scrupulous adaptation of the novel power Portis the aspect that the western often hidden by unnecessary and / or inconvenient: the historical context and human clumsiness. In the duels Western cinema, persecution, shootings and fights were the main thing, the atmosphere was a mere requirement of situation. In contrast, Grit accurately portrays a country still in the hands of thieves, profiteers and thugs that justice in its way by the defending types money as Rooster Cogburn (a Jeff Bridges, who is playing perfectly to the loser of Crazy Heart). A bounty hunter who suddenly is accompanied by the two great successes of history: a Texas Ranger too stretched and Linnet (Matt Damon) and a girl of fourteen stubborn and obsessed with avenging his father ( Hailee Steinfeld). These two vertices of a triangle add humor and perspective beyond the genus own testosterone bravado and make the novel and the film in a believable adventure, not just a bold mission twilight.




As good classic version of Hathaway boldly exploited the comic side of ranger while hiding the most obvious misery of a guy like Cogburn. The Coens have chosen to remove the shiny layer on the surface of all kinds and show the characters as they could be : selfish, ignorant, sanctimonious, naive and cruel, but also human and sometimes intact, without letting either trait are identified with a single character. But the greatest success in my opinion is the way chosen to narrate: removing all epic film because the story works perfectly without it. Just no frills chain bluntly each sequence so that the tension and intrigue the viewer hooked. And another detail that I knew not at first identify, without the end of each scene in detail any touch or smell of sentimentality, a vital balance, disclosure or concession to the cheap drama, the most common action when a film seeks to add to the narrative epic . This omitting a specific waiver includes dealing with violence and cruelty , an element which itself is often part of the Coen style, which is a measure of how far have learned to adapt to the needs of an argument that is more than one western . I think

Grit is among the favorites for Oscar because it is considered a good western , not the effort that has led to the Coen face a large literary original film version previous high level. No matter, from both biases can be enjoyed without problems.

Halloween On Crutches

The 2011 Academy Awards betting

in February would not be if not for my betting on the Oscar . This year's main new feature is the 10 candidates who opt for best picture, so that (the organizers at least I believe) the ceremony seems more open than ever.

I can not say I've seen many, so many of my bets go (as usual, on the other side) in the dark, which does not preclude that mitigates my lack of arguments with sociological theories about the voters, genders, compensation and that ...

Anyway, the thing is as usual: copy the applications in a comment to this post and leave or favorite brand in each category (mine blue van). And that ignorance does not stop you from voting! Movie
