Melt In The Mouth Silverside

The relationship with the "bug".

Inside the lives of children pre-computer is a singular fact, his first contact with the bug. "

Before that fateful day, the children had had an antecedent pre-computer in contact with the little sisters of the "bug", small calculators, the first of the four rules of arithmetic and a little more, then the key scientific mystery for more than I read the instructions, and end in the programmable college years.

These "bugs" were mainly of three families, the most popular was CASIO, HP and more refined and Texas were inc., Normally reached us through a relative who had brought you Canaries, Ceuta and Melilla.

had names like The Casio fx-108, fx-120 and the like, until his sisters appeared calculators screen and button cell battery, it was foolhardy to go to an exam without batteries spare, you could be hung in the middle of the exam.

When we were getting accustomed to them and even dominabanos, I get the "bug", his brother, the computer or PC.

My first contact with him was the year before starting at university, in the final year of institute, which in my time was called COU. Physics professor became the first PC for school, and spent a month to teach the BASIC programming language was the language he understood the "bug".

Although we were not many in the class, only you play the class nerd, I who sat in the back row, just get to see who had keys like a typewriter and display as the living room television, I also heard that he had something called CPU that eventually I would find out who was the mastermind of the "bug".

At that time gets to learn to program in BASIC solving the quadratic equation. I'm an idea that dissolute many years, that every contact of a human with a computer would be provided through the program, and then emerges the concept of computer user and the future existence of the Internet, was the year 1981.

finished the course, including the University, School of Civil Engineers of Madrid and the early years after reaching two subjects that flirted shyly with the "bug" did teach us a language FORTRAN programming and other language PASCAL.

But it was only a statement of intent, because the school was not "bugs" where you can practice.

Already in 1987, while I bought my CASIO programmable calculator and my first "bug"
an Amstrad PC green phosphor monitor, the two understood only BASIC as a means of communication with them. The calculator was very helpful in my final year career, using software made by me or by peers.

The Amstrad PC, a relative of the Spectrum had not only helped me to monitor them utilizaren those early games were loaded with cassette tape.

At that time I saw my younger brothers toddle MSDOS operating system, to me after so many abortive contacts with the "bug" phobia MSDOS gave me, and there was in me an away from everything that smelled a "bug" in those years that ended my college career.

Finish in college, I had to enter the workforce and had the complex of being a total computer useless, lost to the cause, were the years in which the windows were replacing msdos

Then I was lucky to find a collection of Books, Computers for Dummies, illustrated by the genial Forges, the first gave it to me my little sister, however, was already a computer adult, and with them I could finish my pre-computer personal development of child to adult computer.

I invite you to my blog http://losninospreinformaticos.blogspot.com where all the life adventures of these characters at the end of the twentieth century.

Cervical Mucus Look Like Before Period

What is Parkinson's?


first thing I want to clarify is that although the disease is named after the doctor who described their symptoms and not their gardener who was suffering, I always write in lower case parkinson's my rebellious protest to your company.

parkinson identifies the most society with a trembling old man, but this is only the tip of the iceberg of the disease.

Unfortunately more and more young patients like me, accompanying me from 32 years and I have already 47, I was fortunate to have an early diagnosis at 36, but many patients wander-year multi-specialty consultations not get diagnosed until they manage to see a neurologist.

Why this is so, then simply because there are no clinical tests for diagnosis, neurologists as detected by symptoms in the early stages are very early, only detectable for them.

And what are those symptoms, the most characteristic is the microescritura, the stiffness that appears on the wrist keeps you from writing and drawing being gradually illegible handwriting.

This stiffness, which is the primary symptom of Parkinson's disease, is spread throughout the body, producing muscle contractures are insensibilizarte ending chronic pain, stiffness is also the face, leaving the face if it forces your expression, totally deadpan, recalling a player's face poker and is even challenging as happened to me once on a train when another passenger very offended and upset that I said look at him in "bad way."

Another symptom associated with the rigidity is produced in the vocal cords and can not modulate his voice and staying this low tone with very low volume, almost unable to speak, this in pallium my case 5 years ago with a new medicine that appeared rotigotine skin patches.

to appear before this medicine attended speech therapy classes in the association Parkinson Madrid to learn how to talk to the stomach, these classes keep a fun story, one morning, when it enters the small classroom speech sat on a chair to wait and get a close companion of 80 years, sat beside me and said, confused:
- What child, to teach us?
- .. No, no, as you receive them, "he replied.
"Well, that is for many years.
"And you see it.
He ended the conversation by the arrival of the true teacher. More
stiffness effects is the bradecinesia which is the absence of arm swing when walking.

The choking when eating, which gave me unpleasant and dangerous shocks in the time when he could not speak well.

All this is gradual, is appearing slowly, but surely, this reminds me the phrase condition of the coin of love or the medal of the mother: "Today I want more than yesterday but less than tomorrow "slightly changed, is:" Today I feel worse than yesterday, but better than tomorrow. "

And the second part of the sentence I stay, is the part that is positive this is what we are sure only to have both sick and healthy, and with this open another set of symptoms, psychological, I I had the misfortune to experience a short but deep depression and then unknown reasons before my diagnosis, but then I was lucky enough to leave me psychologically vaccinated when years later I got the diagnosis.

One of the phrase coined at that time was to help themselves "would I be wrong with how good it is still good."

I Mentalic when I get the diagnosis, after suffering depression five years ago, life had given me an extension and had to play it and get to penalty kicks and throw them all. Winning the game depends on advancing the science, I am not obsessed, but I'm thrilled.

And I have not said that is physiologically Parkinson's, well it seems that is the death of some neurons that produce dopamine in the brain which is a neurotransmitter, ie " lubrication "of the cables that connect the brain to the rest of the muscles body.

comes a time in which the dopamine deficit is such that it is necessary to provide artificial substitute pills, levodopa, in order to move, giving swings throughout the day to go as my case you can not move to play basketball or football with more skill even when I was 17.

But levodopa is the problem that your body gets used to it.

The disease has another curious aspect that puts us to shame those who suffer, so contradictory, I already en route with a cane in bad times, mate I have to take forever even in good times the way and almost Shall I take it as a mayorette in a parade, well even in bad times to reach a zebra crossing or a ladder, steps or soil stripes serve as a neurological stimulation to increase the pace, I'll translate it with the slang saying that llanea cyclist but climb.

He named some of the drugs have a scandalous price of 150 euros environment container, being the total monthly cost over 1000 euro in Spain takes over public health, but few parkinsonian no drugs for this cost from the U.S. itself until the last third world country, and current drugs do not cure but can help you live with a certain quality of life

Finally another aspect of this disease is and especially when told the others, as I said when "out of the closet," you can not do very early on that at first the symptoms are very shallow.

But you do not communicate produces tension while trying to hide the symptoms or try to explain pilgrims to questions from some incisive observer must take into account that those who are diagnosed young people waiting for us as in my case the total work disability and must contribute 15 years to be a pensioner, and not everyone has the luck that I had to be in a company that I support.

The how, in my case was gradually relatives and friends in the company where she worked, about 500 employees and I was a director, I did not think could go a day with a banner, but something similar happened to me one day with the president's support of it published in the intranet of the company the following letter appeared to them all when they were opening their computers, this five years ago and since then this letter has been my song of hope

Parkinson, my traveling companion.

many years ago, in 1995, the amount a stowaway on the train of my life, was hidden but its presence felt until early 2000 as the train conductor spotted him a doctor and I said this would fall only stowaway me in the last season.


I will share with you the feelings and experiences of my journey with this unwanted companion for two purposes, announce to all that I know what happens to me and encourage my example that you need.

When I said the stowaway was with me, I already knew him because he was traveling companion for my grandmother, but I did not know is that I could ride the train as soon before half of the trip.

The position taken was to assume their presence, but with conditions: "Parkinson, come with me but I command" and have been willing to let him speak as little as possible for which I have been a " Optimistic active "trying to see the bright side of things and thinking that all problems have solutions, giving thanks for what I have, trying not to regret what I need.

This attitude, which requires a strength that only God may be giving me, helped me to control the stowaway,

Some of you and I had talked about the company, others have noticed that something happens to me, from now on you know who is to blame for my slowness and my inability to speak, but I assure you I have the will to keep sending me.

Making an omelette. (A thorough literary essay on this perilous adventure culinary)

The world's population can be divided by many criteria provided for each criterion are usually two options, or whether or not, or yin and yang, or black or white.

A more local approach application in this case, English or foreigners who live or have lived in Spain, would be to know or not know to make a delicious English omelette.

I, played most of my life in the group who did not know , And within this, in the subgroup of those who did the eating and in particular in the area forward and a healthy appetite.

But one day in front of the stove and the pan I had a hunch, I try and I was the protagonist of my sociological revolution that was to end the escapist side of those who do know to make an omelette , that if kept in the same sub-sector eager eaters, but since that day I saw the potato tortillas with different eyes.






I am going to relate my experience.

first thing is to have the luck to have as a partner in the adventure that these initiatives, a pan with all the letters you have what experts call an anti-adhesive surface and translates for the layman that the tortilla does not stick to pan.

To achieve this, besides the role of the pan must help lubricate the surface with a teaspoon of oil spread evenly throughout the pan.

But first you have to do many other jobs, the first, heavier and uncomfortable and nothing creative is to peel the potatoes, then the creativity begins and the cutting of them, must be of a size neither too small nor too big for their fry-cook potatoes leave us in the ideal state for the second phase, this first phase is done in another skillet over battle, not so specialized and abundant hot oil.

Simultaneously while swimming in the sea potatoes boiling, you have to make a singular fact not without some risk, and crack open the eggs, this part of the adventure requires some skill to avoid broken shells dropping into the container, if this happens you have to remove them, and if there is any this last game away at the mouth of one of the guests to taste the tortilla, leaving a bad memory of it forever.

saved Once this hurdle is to beat the eggs, when they are fully beaten the rest we will lose the bubbles that had produced so much energy on its surface, and not let it rest because they are tired no, but because by then will have passed just in time for the potatoes are at their best, an intermediate state between fried and cooked with emerging golds, but just emerging, then it's time to collect and release the oil making that path of elevation from the pan to the source, where repose briefly before being beaten egg.

proceed to mix as closely as possible the potato and egg, we take the embryo of the future slurry tortilla to the pan Non stick that has seen it all, waiting for the time of his intervention.

is important that the fire is slow, with very low intensity to begin cooking and passing the critical moment in the intense fire that would stick the mash up world champion anti pans members.

At present there is a welcome fact comparable only to eat the tortilla itself, this fact is seen as the egg starts to solidify and take shape tortilla with a fork as we skate One piece over the surface of the pan.

another dangerous time is coming and fundamental, the so-called flip the tortilla, so we will need a dish with a diameter slightly larger than the pan, put it on top and we return al conjunto, con cuidado pero con convencimiento, es triste que por falta de decisión y arrojo termine la tortilla en el suelo.

A continuación se deja deslizar la tortilla del plato a la sartén, con mucho cuidado para que se cocine la cara cruda, después y según lo artista que sea el cocinero y las ganas que le queden, se le dan un par de vueltas o tres a la tortilla con ayuda de un plato o en el aire, los verdaderos expertos, estas vueltas son para terminar de dorar la tortilla.

Y ya esta lista para descansar en el plato antes de ser degustada.

I hope that if you are the group who did not know, with these notes I feel encouraged to make the group change, in my experience I find satisfactory.


If you've smiled with this recipe I like to read the land of a thousand and one brown.
