Beautifully amazing, beautifully real (This is our world and our critics)
Beautifully amazing, beautifully
real (de cuisine, this notice anything related, but worth reading)
literal copying, it the penalty for their great author (I do not change one iota, he deserves that respect)
forgive me of art critics, film, literature ... but its role has always seemed a bit cruel, prosecute and value the work of others may sink into poverty. I've always wondered that if both know and understand why they do them and us "delight" with their "art."
In 1910, the exhibition Le Salon des Indépendants ( The Hall of Independent ) organized annually in Paris by Société des artistes indépendants ( Society of Independent Artists ), there was a work that drew attention Critics and everyone praised. This work was "Coucher de soleil sur l'Adriatique ( Sunset on the Adriatic ) of a Genoese painter, completely unknown, called Joachim-Raphaël Boronali.
One day he introduced the writer Roland Dorgelés in the newspaper's headquarters Le Matin to reveal the identity of Boronali. The Boronali this was ... a donkey named Lolo.
Dorgelés and some friends took the donkey to an abandoned house where he brushes tied to its tail and stimulated him to wag his tail more or less pace, with carrots.
The work was eventually sold for 400 francs, which were donated to an orphanage. Many critics were silent for a while.
I am reminded critics of Argentine cuisine, just like haha!. I have had several (Clarín, Página 12, F Concept magazine, Chefs from various restaurants "Important" - then discuss what is important to me.) Come to the kitchen come to my house! and give me more than I give them, only then, judge!!

"Solidarity seems especially strong in Japan. Perhaps even more impressive than Japan's technological power is its social strength, with supermarkets cutting prices and vending machine owners giving out free drinks as people work together to survive. Most noticeably of all, there has been no looting, and I’m not the only one curious about this.
Why do some cultures react to disaster by reverting to everyone for himself, but others—especially the Japanese—display altruism even in adversity? "

Within the stories behind the earthquake in Japan, which has confirmed that he was in grade 9 on the scale Richter is the history of pets that have lost their owners. Despite what all animal logic would suggest in this video we witness the solidarity between pets being abandoned to a disaster which appear to be able to understand. We must indicate that the video that is presented can affect some people.
