“You know kid, life is like a week. Neither more nor less”
A grandfather walking with her ??little son at dusk. He said:…? “You go to bed a little later, but I wanted you to see if there is not good Enjoy a philosopher makes … You see, kid, life is as a week. neither more nor less. Mondays, Tuesdays, until Sunday. “For the child, to whom life seems endless, the story of the week is obviously incomprehensible. “It’s a metaphor,” said the grandfather, who would love for him, Saturday hours never end.
Yes, it’s a metaphor. And it is a joy to hear him tell Fran?

All is not good in the pig – best treadmills
The world of publishing at regular intervals, slumming. The venerable house Stock and just shake the tree a little stunted by the end of the winter returned to announce? Ant noisily publication of Belle and Beast (Stock, ? 13.50, in para? Be February 28) , the book that the essayist Marcela Iacub has devoted to his liaison with Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Some media are obviously seized and whether to compare Marcela Iacub Christine Angot or evoke a “new twist in DSK case,” have made this release event. Whereof maintain the waiting, and leave the rumor take care of book promotion, which will seem all the more explosive he will have remained inaccessible to moment where we will the most talked.
What, too, join in the literature a sufficient dose of my communication? Triser perception the public has of the work when it will be revealed. Because the issue is complex: it must be able to both involve the greatest number and preserve the intellectual legitimacy of the author guarantees that the publishing house.
Marcela Iacub, refined and subtle lawyer, has published so far a dozen scholarly books on sex crimes, maternity or modesty, from a thorough knowledge of legal history, brought new elements to our knowledge of the evolution of morals. It is, at first glance, the opposite of a columnist people.
How then convince the public to rush fearlessly on Beauty and Beast? The solution chosen para? T, once the book read, innovative and for say everything flabbergasting. It is based on a strict division of r? Between the press and the book. A the first, raw truth, at second the thought, the metaphor, the amiable transformation of experience in fable. The author reports in the interview with Nouvel Observateur that initiated the operation, and about facts that are not in the book, which, moreover, does not name the former director of the IMF, while Magazine title: “My story with DSK.”
The idea is to saturate the minds of future readers of this evidence that Marcela Iacub publishes indeed a confession. One is well s? R warned that the latter is, to the yardstick of what is usually done, a little weird, that all this is of literature, but it must be an extra charm, non the negation of a authenticity of the testimony which is its main selling point.
FANTASIES AND FEELINGS
The book, driven by such forces, will probably, in fact, sold. However, we can doubt it is often read to the end, and not everyone is not disappointed u, as the confession abuts the construction and literary theory, which is struggling to convince herself. Marcela Iacub not telling her affair with Dominique Strauss-Kahn: it restores all the thoughts, fantasies and feelings that it inspired him. She tries to gather this experience in a concept where something its intellectual maestria we elsewhere finds, the concept of “cochon”, attempted identify the gross desire, without restraint, enjoyment as absolute liberation. “The pig is a jump, a voltage, a pulse to infinity.” Her lover is bearer of this fantastic animal. When he the leaves express themselves, sexually means, happiness is possible. The rest of the time, man, contemptuous, domineering and “redneck” has no interest, and evil wins.
This could have some poetic force, if the book was running in the Manichean alternating between celebration, repetitive, lyrical and often naive one, and vituperation, no less repetitive, though drier, against the other. If Iacub Marcela was able to get out of an in-between in which neither fully nor completely encanaill??e poet, she has only managed to give maximum efficiency at a promotion, so, para? Does not have else finality she herself.

Twenty-two! My Bloody Valentine are back! – blender reviews 2013
The trend is it the effect of surprise? After the unexpected broadcast on January 8, the web of a new song by David Bowie, Where Are We Now?, Ending ten years of silence, it is the turn of My Bloody Valentine return without (almost) prevent. Saturday, February 2nd, at midnight, the London-Irish quartet has sold on the Internet’s third album, MBV, one of the most legendary Arles in the history of rock.
Twenty-two years after the release of his previous album, Loveless, who had left an indelible mark on the 1990s, and the group makes available on its website, mybloodyvalentine.org the 9 songs from his new album, according to three Order the CD and download, and the download (in MP3 or WAV format) that vinyl, CD and download: purchase options. If the digital listening can be immediate (and free on Youtube does each group: TheOfficialMBV), sending the discs will be from Friday, February 22.
From the first minutes of this for sale, the group’s website has tripped on the influx of requests, connections are restored in the day on Sunday. On several occasions in recent months, the leader, guitarist and singer, Kevin Shields, warned of the impending publication. But we had come to listen with one ear a promise that returned since he started to work on this disc … 1992.
? At the time, the formation of this boy is born in 1963 in New York and grew up in Dublin before moving to London, had developed into two albums – Is not Anything (1988) and Loveless (1991) – a aesthetic mingling atmosphere “Lysergic” and electrocution, candid voice blast. Loveless, in particular, pushed so far the art of innocence devoured by larsens his estate proved problematic for Shields, obsessed with these sonic meandering to the point of losing, like a Phil Spector or Brian Wilson of the noisy pop.
“I could not extricate myself from this mass of riffs, sounds, loops. Nose I was so in the console that it was impossible for me to assemble it? Has to make songs” revealed the brains of the group, in June 2012, in a given magazine Les Inrockuptibles interview on the occasion of the reissue albums of My Bloody Valentine.
Tired of war, training officially separated in 1995. The Island label, with whom she had signed after Loveless, terminate his contract in 2001. His influence is yet alive, especially from the second half of the 2000s – with contemporary bands such as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The Drums or The Bewitched Hands assuming shamelessly parentage. No coincidence perhaps, if in 2008, My Bloody Valentine decided to reform.
Initially intended to reinterpret their old directory on stage, this meeting also allows Shields, Colm O Ciosoig (drums), Bilinda Butcher (vocals and guitar) and Debbie George (bass) to renew the son of an unfinished work. It is also not necessarily know what lies behind the blue bag in purple lettering MBV. Shields have both announced that he had almost completed the implementation of its former project while claiming to have started a new set of titles expected to be published before.
Loveless is lightning streaked from the first song. This third album opens with a sea mist spooning after storm (Now She Found – listening below).
If Who Sees You then returns to the majesty of maelstr? Restless ms, riffs lean more often heart ty caresses bites. After the instrumental stellar Is This and Yes, two titles, If I Am New You, dig in cotton a languid groove. The first shows that the white noise fans know the sensual qualities of the wah-wah guitar. The second is even more enj? Them with a bass and a female voice in the summer pop efficiency.
It was not until the last third of the album to regain some of the brutality that made the legendary group. In In Another Way, the frail skiff voice is assaulted by a tsunami of guitars and rhythmic frenzy which owes much to drum’n'bass. After the haunting loop Nothing Is, sip saturation slobbery and telluric battery Wonder 2 gives the impression to pass the psychedelic Beatles Blue Jay Waydes turbulence in an aircraft engine. Without having the aura of an innovative masterpiece, or songs at the height of past summits (You Made Me Realize, Soon, When You Sleep …), MBV revived with a beautiful vitality.

New trial of Mubarak the president of the court rejects
The appeal trial of Hosni Mubarak was to open Saturday morning in Cairo fizzled.

“The judge and his team had acquitted all the accused in the case of the ‘battle of the camels’ and there are many doubts about them. This disqualifies to conduct this trial,” said a civil party lawyer, Amir Salem. “The people want the execution of the president,” chanted other lawyers.
February 2, 2011, in the uprising against Hosni Mubarak and to everyone’s surprise, supporters of President stormed Tahrir Square in central Cairo, on horseback and camel, and attacked thousands of protesters demanding an end to the regime. Several figures of the former regime accused of orchestrating the attack, however, had been paid in October 2012.
PRISON LIFETIME
In June 2012, Mubarak and his interior minister Habib al-Adli has been sentenced to life in prison for the death of protesters during the revolt that overthrew the regime in early 2011. However, six former senior security officials were acquitted, and some of them have since been released.
In a judgment of 13 January, the Court of Cassation had ruled admissible the appeal of the former leader and his interior minister. Both the son of former head of state, Gamal and Alaa, and six assistant interior minister and businessman Hussein Salem leak must also be re-tried.
The verdicts in June 2012, particularly the acquittals of senior police, had angered many Egyptians who demonstrated for a new trial and harsher penalties. The suppression of the revolt of 2011 was nearly 850 dead, according to official figures.

The UMP is to capitalize on the business without adding Cahuzac
Pull political advantage of the resignation of Jeremiah? Cahuzac me, without burdening the former budget minister. This is the position adopted by the majority leaders of the UMP following the announcement by the Elysee Palace, Tuesday, March 19, the start of the heavy-weight of the government of Jean-Marc Ayrault.
“The situation of Jeremiah? Cahuzac me was obviously no longer tenable,” said Jean-Fran? Ois Cope. For the president of the UMP, the resignation – occurring before the presentation of the motion of censure against the government – weakens even more the situation of an executive at the lowest. “This government neither management nor compass,” Judge Cope. To a close, “the resignation adds a governance problem to a failure in the economic and social field.”
“Hard blow”
The suspicions against Mr. Cahuzac is “a huge blow to a government that was proclaimed exemplary,” argues filloniste Dominique Dord. The “copy that pr Republic? Born normal president” may “get the hell out,” quips turn Eric Ciotti. The executive “has lost something serious: public morality,” accuses Pierre Lellouche. “The exemplary, yet it is the last campaign argument that remained Fran? Ois Hollande …” quips close to Mr. Cope.
Other tenors of the UMP pound the nail. “Cahuzac was no longer able to manage the affairs of France,” said Nadine Morano. His resignation “considerably weakens the government and the president,” says Alain Juppe on BFM TV.
Within the party, Laurent Wauquiez shows the most virulent in holding that the former budget minister “would d? Resign over tt” because of “suspicion of collusion and conflict of interest” that weigh on him.
Respect the presumption of innocence
Despite the temptation to push a government to punishment, restraint dominates the tone used by officials UMP. All emphasize the need to respect the presumption of innocence. Mr. Cope gave the example recalling that we must respect this principle. In the same vein, the leader of UMP deputies, Christian Jacob, said not wanting to “throw stones” Mr. Cahuzac at this stage. “The UMP is not acharnera on him,” promises Mr. Jacob Wednesday on France Info.
Even call for caution on the part of Claude Gueant: “It is not enough that there have charges that it puts the responsibility of anyone involved,” he says on BFM TV. “Until one is not convicted, it is innocent,” explains Guillaume Peltier.
The right also welcomes failing Decha? Born against Mr. Cahuzac recent weeks. She wishes to express its difference with the left, accused of overwhelmed the former Labour Minister Eric Woerth when he was challenged by the Mediapart site in the Bettencourt affair in 2010. “The right has shown a restraint that honors us all. Where at other times, for acts that were not true, the left had engaged in outrageous attacks on people and extremely violence, “insists Mr. Cope. Mr. Cahuzac “has not been lynched by either the press or the opposition,” says Luc Chatel on France 2.
In the ranks of the UMP, some even greet the qualities of Mr. Cahuzac expressing “the esteem and respect” for him, like Fran? Ois Baroin, who welcomes “a competent political opponent, talented , loyal. ” “A very friendly thought for Jer? Cahuzac me whose talent will be missed by a government that is so lacking,” writes Dominique Bussereau on Twitter.
For close to Mr. Cope, the resignation of the former minister’s budget is part of “a perfect backdrop” for the opposition because it comes at a time of an offensive by the President of the UMP. Wednesday afternoon, he will submit to the National Assembly a motion of censure against the government’s economic policy. In the discussion that follows, “Jean-Fran? Ois Cope will be in a strong position, wants to believe one of his supporters. Needless to embody the opposition and be very audible” facing the Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault.
