Back Pain Above Waist

essential

"There is nothing more stupid to complain about the 'hard January' when the previous month has been paid double." (myself).

I guess I must be the last of your contact list to refer to these dates jars. Normally we would not need this disclaimer, but I observe that perhaps my readers are among some who do not know my particular languages (ta) sincrasia regard.

Well, there ¹ celebrate Christmas at all. Is not to contradict or to rebel against something (after all, who make black masses these days are believers just as the others). The reasons are simple:

"I'm not Christian. Therefore, to me is so incongruous as to follow the rules of Ramadan ¹ in the corresponding month.
"I'm anti-consumerist. So the main feature of this time (who long ago wiped out the religious sense) does not affect me.
"I hate the" days. " Whether it's Christmas, as if Father's Day, or Day of Spain, or the world day of Iberian common turtle overnight on the banks of streams with a desire to yoke Pyrenees.


Fortunately, there are ideal circumstances that can survive these days without feeling that slight changes. The first is that both my mother and my cat share this philosophy. The second, I'm teetotal television (this helps horrors). The third, which in my family goes every man for himself. And last, when I go out is to address the parks, not commercial areas.

This way I can avoid all of the characteristic symbols of this period of collective folly: the fantastic way to waste energy Christmas decorations, the advertising icons Coca-Cola Santas / Santa Clauses, the pieces torturable meat adorable children and their fireworks ...


So this is why there is no such feature that phrase uttered repeatedly. In fact, I can spend two and a half weeks without saying even once! I love that the formula adopted polite answer "likewise" . It lets you be more or less without having to release the outburst. That


. Normally I would roll a lot more in this post, but the wheel that I have no longer found solace and enjoyment in the activity of sending messages of pain to my brain, a fact which - oddly enough - I removed the desire to write and, general, anything that requires minimal intellectual activity. So, taking advantage that book today, I'll throw myself followed fourteen hours surfing the Internet. Let's see if I beat my personal record.

Corny Things To Write In Wedding Cards

Free Software: VLC Media Player

Following my recommendations, here's a media player (both video and audio): VLC Media Player .

But of these there is already a lot? It is true, and many may be conformed to the classic Windows Media Player or you have taken a step forward with the excellent BS Player (very superior in many respects to Microsoft).

The particular skill that has VLC is able to view incomplete AVI files. In fact, when I lowered it, I thought that this was their primary function.


guess that the vast majority of those who take pleasure in the broadband Internet you will make use of P2P tools for exchanging video material, whether on the eDonkey2000 network (eMule, eDonkey, Overnet, Shareaza, etc) or Bit Torrent (Bit Torrent, Azureus, etc.). Even one will continue using Kazaa ...

Anyway, we all know that there are many files under a false name bandied about, or even real shock, however, do not reach the image quality and / or sound we need. It's a real fucking download anything from 700 megabytes to discover that not what we wanted.

In these cases it is essential to a file previewer. Which is neither more nor less than a player able to read fragments of video downloads, long before they are completed.

Until recently I had been using AviPreview. Getting playing movies or series, provided that at least we have the first and the last fragment. If they were missing, there was nothing to do.

However, VLC Media Player can read anything. If you've only downloaded 100 kbytes in the middle of the file, will also get you out the corresponding image (because it is only a snapshot frozen). It's amazing the power you have. I managed to see bits of files that AviPreview or smelled.

Of course, you will have to wait for the read head reaches the bit, or try to find it moving and leaving the head in the approximate point where calculáis is.

The most important is that hits its maximum power only gets to preview AVI files. With the MPG / MPEG much more incomplete failure: at most, only you can hear the sound.

But still, is an essential program, you are already taking longer to download:
