My Hematoma Has Not Dissolved
My review of Star Trek ...
After waiting patiently for months, finally I saw the last movie Star Trek (the "11") in film.
I warn that this post contains spoilers, so if you saw the movie and plan to see it later, DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE, and which is intended to explain my point of view on it and if need be, open a discussion about it with other Trekkers / Trekkies. Watch the movie first and then talk.
Well, here we go ...
With sincerity I say that I think the film is excellent, compared with current standards of special effects, action and performances, except some minor details.
The actors portraying the main characters could not be better selected. The performances are very good and convincing. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Chekov are for me the best. Scotty had very little involvement, but we can say that was good too, Uhura is not bad (in any "other" side, beyond the obvious ...) and the least caught my attention was Sulu ... maybe the little that appeared on the screen doing something else that was not fighting with a Romulan or forget to turn off the "inertial dampers" (devices that prevent end escraches characters against the backdrop of the ship when they go into warp because acceleration, and in this case, because the outside who were turned on, prevented the ship went into warp with the rest of the fleet) before leaving for Vulcan (error that saved the lives of everyone on the Enterprise, in case you did not realize ...). Kirk is enjoyable to see a classic "almost criminal" that receives many hits as he deserves (yes, give the guy beating after beating during the entire film, from the Starfleet cadets, to the Romulans, without missing some good shots of Spock :-)) and I think his most important skill is the resistance to abuse ... And shots of McCoy!. The character could not be better to Christopher Pine.
Spock, is an excellent ... vulcano. Zachary Quinto hit it with his performance, only the wrong eyebrow a few times when made the classic gesture of "Really?" that Leonard Nimoy earned the title of "actor."
McCoy is the jewel of the film. Too bad you did not get more screen time, but of course, little film to be distributed among many actors and situations ... was difficult.
The others were good (almost disarmed me laugh when Chekov wanted to identify the first time with the computer and say "Wictor, Wictor ...", when in fact, should have said" victor, victor "... what which is clearly a tribute to Chekov's
"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"
, who walked the streets of San Francisco asking for the "nuclear
Wessels ":-)), But as I said before, they had little time to be able to demonstrate their acting skills and brilliant performances.
Kirk
See cheating in the famous trial of" Kobayashi Maru "was both interesting and somewhat disappointing. I'm waiting to see the original scene that supposedly comes on the DVD is coming out in November to see if anything improved, but ... was one minor detail.
Ill walked half as loose ... forever. Fairly inept if you will. Nero is a bad good bad and angry, which is just expected, but the followers are still mediocre, even more. shows that draw from a pool of bad that they have in a Instead of Hollywood, and it is that intelligence is sold separately, and expensive ... Only an idiot could have risen to Kirk the edge of that platform with one hand and to have left both hands free to get the gun and kill him ... Vamo above, Romulan! ... I understand you were laburando a mining ship and the captain recruited you as a soldier to run a twisted revenge on Spock, but do not neglect that way only because it underestimates Kirk for being a kid (even knowing that later would become a "pain in the ass ")... A kick in the head and go! Kirk Chau! ...
same with the other Romulan in the hole laser ... stomping on their hands trying to Kirk, while the other hand changed the place ... Did not you have a hung disruptor hip ...? Do not say anything if you had been fighting Luke Skywalker, you would have thrown the hell out of the platform to "force" ... but we talked about
Kirk, a kid who passed it to be beaten and injected with strange side effects ...
(bueh, if the bad had been salted, the movie had done before ... so I better just to remain inept!).
Now, let's get serious and talk about the bulk of the plot
...
For there are people Nero is angry because Vulcan destroyed because they fell in love Spock and Uhura, or because they changed the design of the legendary USS Enterprise .
To all of you, let me remind you that since I started the film and Narada appears (a stylized ship very large, with hundreds of hook-like appendages jagged mountains of purpose or completely unknown but very threatening, and an interior uncomfortable, impractical and not very functional, as it should be a very bad bad ship), destroying the USS Kelvin,
whole future changed irrevocably
, making everything that we saw before (the 10 movies, and 4 of the 5 series) are void. What we saw in the rest of the film is nothing more and nothing less than a
alternate timeline, where things like the design concepts of Starfleet, the "romance" Vulcan and the star map of the sector can (and Indeed, should
) have changed a lot due to the events that took place after the arrival of Nero and his "boys." Point . If you ask me, was a brilliant way to get rid of all the weight of the canon of Star Trek, struggles to recreate all conceptual designs based on "old fashioned" and even the way the characters are ( if is to exaggerate enough). And since we are reviewing, I think it is PERFECT . The truth is as much Trekkie or a movie buff, I did not leave disappointed. The film won every hundredth I paid for the entrance, and when the DVD comes out, I'll buy it and to treasure along with the rest of my favorite movies (including "Galaxy Quest" and my collection of "Star Wars"). I can only say that there is one thing that I found is awful and the dreadful effect of flash that appeared on the screen during certain times, preventing you could clearly see what happens. To give an example, the bridge of the USS Kelvin should have a lighting problem, because if you stood in front of the captain's chair, you could not see his face due to a flash of bluish-white light that was generated or reflected behind it ... The truth is the only thing that I find extremely annoying.
Everything else is just brilliant, and I only hope that the friends of JJ Abrams continue doing business as usual in the upcoming Star Trek XII
.
(I want to tell JJ Abrams and his colleagues that despite his series "Fringe" has a lackluster rating, I follow and I do not want to change anything. Keep going and try and keep in the air. After X-Files, is one of the best series of pseudoscience and supernatural cases has been).
Live long and prosper , Mr. Abrams!
After waiting patiently for months, finally I saw the last movie Star Trek (the "11") in film.
For several days ("two months?) Of the event, but once I see it, I searched the internet to see if there was a version of" acceptable "just to get back to enjoy it during the interval of time between the poster and pull out the DVD market (I asked when I found out the DVD available on Amazon
, and appears to be coming in November this year, so I have to wait to see her again a reasonable quality ...). Once I had it in my computer, I was able to see it several times with the "sole" purpose of writing this review.

Cute Sayings For 25th Birthday
Happy Birthday Tatiana! Cardboard
How time flies! ...
Over a year that Tatiana was born, my second daughter, the same day as the birthday of my grandfather Pepe. What I can say about it? ... almost nothing except that I'm happy to have had the opportunity to be the father of this beauty, and love her dearly, as my other daughter, Valeria. I hope it does not get jealous of this post (not read my blog yet, but understands the photos ...)
I remember as if
been
yesterday ... We started with almost one in the morning to the hospital and in little more than a couple of hours Tati was born. Although I could not watch the game (still do not know what happened to that treacherous sink), I was happy that everything went well.
Well, now to prepare (s) little party (s) (in kindergarten and for family and friends). There's a mess of things to resolve, but good, Mommy has almost everything soon. I'll try to enjoy the party.
:-) Happy Birthday Tati!

Favaloro's letter that never showed.
Date: Thursday, June 25, 2009 12:04.
The judge released the note prudent GET THEM THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEGUN TO TRANSCEND
AFTER A LONG TIME. Need to know the contents of the letter written by Rene Favaloro
shot final.
(From Dr. René Favaloro / July 1929-2000 -14.30 pm) If you read my letter of resignation to the Cleveland Clinic, it is clear
my return to Argentina (after having become a prominent part in the surgery cardiovascular)
was due to my eternal commitment to my country. Never I lost my roots. I returned to work in teaching, research and medical
. The first stage in the Guemes Sanatorium, showed that immediately organize
residence in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, as well as graduate courses at all levels. We gave importance also
clinical research with the participation of most members of our group.
as an input demand care beds for the homeless. Thus, hundreds of patients were operated
no charge. Most of our patients came from social work. The hospital had a contract with the most important
at that time. The relationship with the hospital was very clear: the fees,
came from whence they came, they were of us, the hospital, the hospital (undoubtedly the biggest slice). We pay the fees
residences and secretaries and our tickets were distributed proportionately among physicians
. Never allowed to touch a single penny of that we do not share. Although the directors
claimed that there was no return, I knew that if they had. From time to time, at the request of its director, greeted
unionists turn, they appreciated our work. This was our only contact. In the middle of the decade
of 70, began organizing the Foundation. First with the help of the Sedra, we created the Department
basic research has given us much satisfaction, then the construction of the Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery
. After taking office, I wrote the 10 commandments to be held to the letter, based
ethical guideline has been with me always. The quality of our work, based on the technology incorporated
over the task of professionals we selected did not work were missing, but had to continually fight
rampant corruption in medicine (part of the massive corruption that has contaminated
our country at all levels without limits of any kind). We have consistently refused to break
ethical guidelines, therefore, never took a single dollar of return. Thus, social work major
not send or send their patients to the Institute. What would that tell of the countless interviews with unionists
turn! Manga corrupt living at the expense of workers and bribes
money primarily for the social works that corresponds to medical care. The same applies to the PAMI. This I can certify the medical
my country in order to survive they must accept part of the system implemented to
length and breadth of the country. Worth a single example: the PAMI is an old debt with us, (I think since
94 or 95) of 1,900,000 pesos, we would have taken within 48 hours if we had accepted the returns that
asked us (as is logical not to me directly.) If we had accepted the prevailing conditions by the corruption of
system (which has increased in recent years) should have 100 beds more ..
would not suffice to meet the demand. Whoever wants to deny that this is true to accept that governs Argentina,
fundamental principle of free choice of doctor, ending with off duty.
The same applies to private hospitals (including those of private health insurance plans) the doctor who sends patients to the famous
ana-ana, you know, wait, receive a hefty share of surgeon. Many years ago I heard that Favaloro
that operates no more! Where does this fib?. Very simple: the patients studied. Conclusion
, her cardiologist said that should be operated. The patient accepts and expresses its wish that I operate.
'But how, you do not know Favaloro not operate long?'. 'I am going to recommend a surgeon real value
not worry. " The surgeon 'of real value' in addition professional capacity will return to the principal cardiologist
50% of the fees! Several of these patients have come to my office notwithstanding the 'indications' of
cardiologist. 'Doctor, you still operating? " and once again I must explain that yes, I still do the same enthusiasm and responsibility
forever. Many of these cardiologists, are national and international prestige.
They attend the Congress of the American College or the American Heart and then yes, there I
provide all sorts of praise and hugs every time I expose a 'lecture' of meaning. This happened when Paul
D. White lecture in Dallas, dozens Argentinian cardiologists embraced me, some with tears in his eyes. But
here again inserted into the 'system' and money is what most interests them.
corruption has reached levels that I never witnessed. Prestigious institutions as the Instituto Cardiovascular Buenos Aires, with
fine medical professionals, send well-trained employees who visit
cardiologists in their offices. There, they explain in detail the mechanisms and rates of return that will not only
for surgery, a noninvasive diagnostic methods (Holter echo, chamber and so on., Etc.) Catheters, angioplasty
, etc. etc., are included. It is the only institution. Medical Foundation have shown me
sheets that leave them all very well explained. Where appropriate, the patient once operated, the same personnel trained
will visit again the cardiologist, explained in detail 'the economic operation "and deliver the envelope corresponding
!. The current situation is desperate Foundation, millions of dollars to collect
task performed, including high-risk patients can not refuse. It's easy to say 'no beds available. "
impedes our medical oath. These patients require a high cost rarely acknowledged by the works Social
. A debt that should be added everywhere, which corresponds to the construction and equipping of ICYCC,
suppliers, the DGI, banks, doctors with delays of several months .. All our projects
wobbly and increasingly everything is complicated. In the U.S., major medical institutions can perform their task
care, teaching and research for the donations they receive. The five medical schools receive more
transcendent over 100 million dollars each! Here, not dreaming. I made efforts in the IDB
helped in the initial stage and then advertised in several of its publications to our institute as one of its achievements
!. I sent four letters to Enrique Iglesias, asking for help (so much money thrown overboard in this
Latin America!) I am still awaiting a response. Handles billions of dollars, but for a
institution that has trained hundreds of physicians scattered throughout our country and throughout Latin America, there
response. How to measure the social value of our educational task? Undoubtedly, to be honest, this society has its price
corrupt. In the short or long you make it pay. Most of the time I get lonely. In
the letter of resignation to the C. Clinic, told the Dr. Effen he knew in advance that would have to fight and
reminded him that Don Quixote was English! Undoubtedly, the struggle has been very uneven. The Foundation project
falters and begins to crack. We had several meetings, my closest colleagues, some of them
comrades remembered from our National Association of La Plata, I advise you to save the Foundation
we must be incorporated to the 'system'. Yes to return itself to ana-ana. 'We will put people to organize. "
There are 'experts' who know how to do it. 'You have to step aside. Clarify that you know nothing, not
are aware. " 'You must understand if you want to save the Foundation' Who will believe that I am not aware!
At this point, the old finish with the ethical principles that I received from my parents, my teachers
I find it extremely difficult. I can not change, I'd rather disappear. Joaquín V. Gonzalez, wrote the lesson
of optimism that we gave to greet: 'I do not have beaten anybody. " I can not say the same. To me
has beaten me a corrupt society that controls everything. I'm tired of receiving honors and accolades
international level. A few days ago I was included in the select group of legends
millennium cardiovascular surgery. Last year I had to participate in various countries from Sweden to India listening to the same thing.
'the legend, the legend! " Perhaps the cardinal sin I have committed, here in my country was always express high
voice my feelings, my criticism, again, in this society of privilege, where a few have to
satiety, while the majority live in misery and despair. All this is forgiven, however
be punished. It comforts me to have served my patients without distinction of any kind. My colleagues
know my penchant for the poor, who comes from my distant years in Jacinto Arauz. I'm tired of fighting and fighting
, galloping against the wind as I said Don Ata. I can not change. It was not an easy decision but
thoughtful. There is talk of weakness or courage. The surgeon living with death, is his inseparable companion, talk
of weakness or courage .. The surgeon living with death, is his inseparable companion, I leave her hand.
just hope this does not become a comedy act. Journalism I ask you a little pity. I
quiet. Once in an academic ceremony in the U.S. came to me as a good man who is still a rural
doctor. Pardon me, but I think it is true. I hope I remember well. These days I
desperate letters sent to national, provincial, entrepreneurs, with no response. In the Foundation has begun to act a crisis committee
external advice. Yesterday began the first layoffs occur. Some, few have
been loyal and dedicated staff. On Monday, could not face. My family especially my dear
nephews, my colleagues, my friends, remember that I got at age 77. No loose, are required to keep fighting
at least up to the same age, which is something. Again I reiterate the obligation of
cream immediately without wasting time and throw my ashes in the mountains near Jacinto Arauz, back in La Pampa
. It is strictly prohibited perform religious or civil ceremonies. A hug to all
