<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Über 1000 Meter erheben sich die Berge um das Gebirgsdorf Topes de Collantes zwischen dem <a href="http://eminenz.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/hanabinala-stausee/" target="_self">Hanabanilla-Stausee</a> und Trinidad auf <a href="http://eminenz.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/reisen-auf-kubanisch/" target="_blank">beschwerlicher Straße </a>mit Riesen-Schlaglöchern erreichbar &#8211; beschaulich ist das Dorf geblieben, aber es ist vom Bauerndorf zum Kurort gewachsen. Am höchsten Punkt steht ein Riesen-Kurhotel im Stalin-Stil. Rundherum viele Hotelanlagen mit verschiedensten Preisklassen. Unser Hotel war eine schöne Appartment-Anlage. Mit dem größten Gummibaum den ich je gesehen habe und ganz schlechter Live-Musik beim Abendessen. Das richtig schöne dort ist die Natur: Man geht zwar zwei Stunden über Stock und Stein hinunter zum Salto de Caburni, aber es zahlt sich aus. Erstens durch den wirklich beeindruckenden Nationalpark mit den riesigen Palmen und den vielen Eidechsen. Zweitens durch die äußerste erfrischende Bademöglichkeit ganz unten beim Wasserfall und drittens wegen der kleinen Freiluft-Bar mitten unter den Hühnern am Weg zurück in den Ort.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Most people assume that making a cocktail is complex, <img alt="" src="http://boozeitup.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/cuba-libre.jpg?w=428&#038;h=600" class="alignright" width="428" height="600" />takes time and needs a lot of unpronounceable ingredients. Which is why the humble rum and coke is often taken for just another drink, not a legendary cocktail that it is. For the uninitiated, it is referred to as the Cuba Libre when a twist of lime is added to it. Otherwise it is a popular highball in the US and Canada.  This ubiquitous cocktail was first sipped in Cuba in the year 1900. And is called ________ in the UK.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ya el concierto pasó, la semilla ha sido sembrada, una marea blanca llena de ansias de libertad la aloja en lo más profundo de su sentir y de sus ansias, las ganas de ser libre, las ganas de poder vivir en paz y sin imposiciones aflora en cada corazón de cada joven cubano que vivió unas horas de libertad y paz.</p>
<p>Llegó la hora de tomar acción, llegó la hora de demostrarle al mundo que desean cambiar, que no quieren más imposición, llegó la hora de demostrarle al mundo que Ghandi Y Martin Luther King no dieron sus vidas en vano y que su legado de paz hace cambiar hasta el más indolente corazón, llegó la hora de comenzar a expresarse de distintas maneras, de vencer el temor y de actuar con inteligencia.</p>
<p>La &#8220;resistencia blanca&#8221; no puede ser desbaratada, imaginen ese millón de personas que se dió cita para el concierto &#8220;Paz sin Fronteras&#8221;, imagínen esa plaza llena cada domingo en son de paz, sin disturbios pidiéndo sólo libertad y paz, imagínen un millón de velas iluminando un camino de paz y libertad, no hay represión que los pueda hacer retroceder ni cárcel que los pueda albergar, no hay.</p>
<p>Imagínen a sus gobernantes doblegándose ante esta marea blanca, cediendo poco a poco hasta lograr la libertad y la paz tan anhelada, no es imposible, nada es imposible, nada, absolutamente nada cuando hay paz de por medio, Juanes,  Miguel Bosé, Olga Tañon, los Orishas y los demás artistas lo lograron, ellos fueron capaces de vencer la represión, ellos fueron capaces de doblegar al monstruo con una sola palabra PAZ y esto no hubiera sido posible si en la plaza no hubiera habido esa gran marea humana ansiosa de paz y libertad y como lo dijo Yotuel de Orishas, &#8230;&#8221;si se cancela el concierto habrán ganado ellos&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/vNGsF_rsAJ0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/vNGsF_rsAJ0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pues sí, el gobierno se doblegó ante esa marea humana, cancelar el concierto hubiera sido lo peor y más aún las repercusiones internacionales y es que silenciar y presionar a artistas de la talla de Juanes, Bosé, Tañon y compañía era mostrar al mundo su cara más represiva e impositiva, ahora les toca a Ustedes, hay líderes allá, hay jóvenes que son escuchados, que son leídos, asuman su papel en la historia y dedíquenle un tiempo a su País.</p>
<p>Ustedes son los llamados a hacer de Cuba un País libre, a doblegar a través de la paz, el razonamiento y la conciliación a ese gobierno que hace 50 años viene imponiéndo su voluntad, háganlo, sean libres, liberen sus mentes, afuera hay un mundo libre hay un mundo que lucha constantemente por buscar la paz y Ustedes pueden darle una lección para que aquellos que no creen en la paz se dobleguen ante esta.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">El nuevo Herald, nos presenta una noticia caricaturesca pero real. Cada dia el comunismo de Cuba se va debilitando de tal forma que ni los pobres que estan sumidos en ese regimen lo soportan. Tanto asi, que el periodico oficial del regimen, un medio de &#8220;opinion&#8221; (Si no de adoctrinamiento) muy respetado y querido en Cuba, ha pasado a ser usado en reemplazo del Papel Higienico por muchos habitantes de la isla de Fidel. <a href="http://www.elnuevoherald.com/noticias/america_latina/cuba/story/527485.html">(Aqui la noticia completa en el Nuevo Herald)</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Con mucho gusto desde esta tribuna festejamos la creatividad de los cubanos, que hartos de su regimen comunista y hartos de un sistema de opresion que no los deja progresar, prefieren literalmente mandar a la mierºº al periodico oficial.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>CADA DIA SE ACERCA&#8230;.. <span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">UNA CUBA LIBRE!</span></span></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>War eigentlich nur ein kleiner Abstecher zum zweitgrößten Stausee in Kuba: Der Hanabinala-Stausee zwischen Santa Clara und Topes de Colantes ist allerdings sehenswert. Und endlich mal kein einziger Tourist weit und breit. Auf jeden Fall haben wir uns einen ordentlichen Sonnenbrand geholt bei der fünfstündigen Bootsfahrt &#8211; ja, der See ist wirklich verdammt groß. Die beiden kubanischen Jungs, die mit dem Motorboot gefahren sind, haben die Sonne ein bisschen besser vertragen. Erfrischend war auf jeden Fall der Sprung unter den kleinen Wasserfall&#8230; Das Ausrutschen am glitschigen Felsen war weniger gut.</p>
<p>Der Hanabanilla-Stausee ist übrigens der einzige Stausee in Kuba, der auch zur Erzeugung von Elektrizität genutzt wird. Alle anderen Stauseen dienen für den Wasserausgleich der Flüsse und gegen Überschwemmungen &#8211; und als Wasserreservoir.</p>

<p>Concert &#8216;Peace with no borderlines&#8217;  organized by the Colombian singer Juanes took place in Revolution Main Square in La Habana, Cuba. Juanes played for peace between Cuba and United States of America. In Miami, there is half people against Free Cuba and the other half for Revolutionary Cuba.</p>
<p>Platicando con Tarket&#8217;s opinion: Everything is good to promote tolerance but there is no peace with no justice. &#8216;We have to give the reason to the one who is got it&#8217; eventhough we do not agree.</p>
<p>The singers Gloria Estefan and Willy Chirinos said they did not have anything against Juanes&#8217; concert, but did not think that he will have success on that wish.</p>

<p>We picked up a couple cans of rum and coke from the corner market: then I poured mine out. I met up with Carolina today at Café Delicias- I read an article about her in the only magazine here written in English: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Mountain Howler</span>. She works at the courthouse and taught herself english. She is 19, super sweet, and is going to help teach me spanish. Our plan is to meet 3-4 times a week.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin-bottom:0;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.gran-via.it/img/upload/delllano_glow_sito.JPG" alt="" width="114" height="142" />Ne capitano di serate in cui ti sei messo in testa di fare una cosa e poi ti ritrovi completamente catapultato in dimensioni oniriche o distanti dai tuoi propositi esistenziali e ludici.<br />
Ne capitano di incontri che ti lasciano con l’amaro in bocca, forse troppi, e di altri che invece stampano un sorriso indelebile che non potrai più scrollarti di dosso per il resto della vita.<br />
Conoscere <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_del_Llano" target="_blank">Eduardo</a> fa parte della seconda tipologia di intersecazione esperenziale di cui sopra e l’occasione di farlo c’è stata grazie alla pubblicazione del suo <a href="http://www.tellusfolio.it/index.php?prec=/index.php&#38;cmd=v&#38;id=6394" target="_blank"><em>Unplugged</em></a> (<a href="http://www.gran-via.it/" target="_blank">Gran Vía</a>) e del tour italiano che ne è seguito.<br />
Ma partiamo dall’inizio. Il libro è una riuscitissima raccolta di racconti iperrealisti, irriverenti, e di divertenti avventure nel mondo degli uomini e in quello di Cuba. Una serie di storie che hanno il proprio file rouge nel personaggio di Nicanor O’Donnell, alter ego del nostro scrittore/sceneggiatore/filmaker, che con la sua “corte dei miracoli” infesta la maggior parte dell’antologia.<br />
<a href="http://www.gran-via.it/scheda.php?id=28" target="_blank"><em>Unplugged</em></a> si fa leggere come se gustassimo un buon caffè, fino all’ultima goccia e senza fretta, magari raccogliendo con il cucchiaino anche lo zucchero.<br />
Stile notevole, asciutto e diretto rendono la narrazione godibile e immaginifica fino all’ultima riga, ricreando ambientazioni, volti, situazioni nella mente del lettore che entra nelle storie per non uscirne più.<br />
E questo è il libro. Come sono arrivato a fare quattro chiacchiere con quello che mi è sembrato un sosia di Stephen King ma con i capelli lunghi e qualche chiletto in più è facile da dirsi.<br />
Maddalena (per chi non lo sapesse, ufficio stampa della casa editrice milanese) mi chiama dicendomi che saranno in promozione a Roma e che nella libreria della Galleria Alberto Sordi presenteranno il libro, proiettando anche il cortometraggio <em>Monte Rouge</em> ispirato al medesimo racconto. A presenziare l’insostituibile <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filippo_La_Porta" target="_blank">Filippo La Porta</a>. Occasione più che ghiotta per rivedere la mia cara amica, conoscere l’autore del libro che tanto mi era piaciuto e sentire una voce eminente della nostra stampa.<br />
Il nostro giornalista punta subito il faro sulla capacità incredibile dello scrittore di riuscire a dare degli incipit capaci di incuriosire e destabilizzare immediatamente il lettore, dandone lettura di alcuni (<em>Nicanor era depresso. Aveva attraversato un brutto periodo del quale non possiamo parlare, perché lui non lo faceva mai, ragion per cui non sappiamo che cosa fosse effettivamente successo</em>) catturando immediatamente l’attenzione degli astanti.<br />
Alla fine dell’incontro, facciamola breve, abbiamo tutti facce compiaciute e il libro in mano. La Porta ha colto in pieno lo spirito di Eduardo ed è riuscito a trasmetterlo in ogni parola.<br />
“A questo punto avrai fatto le tue domande?” direte voi. No. Ho bevuto del vino rosso e sono stato invitato al Brancaleone per la rassegna organizzata da <em>Cuba da qualche parte</em> (progetto itinerante su Cuba attraverso arti visive: cubadaqualcheparte@gmail.com) sul cinema cubano, dove sarebbero stati proiettati i due corti <em>Monte Rouge</em> e <em>Sex Machine</em> del buon De Llano, con “a seguire dibattito”.<br />
Ritrovatomi in automobile con due cubane e un’argentina, situazione felicissima e davvero fortunata per un povero gonzo journalist quale mi sento, arrivo (in che stato non sto a raccontarvelo) al Brancaleone per scoprire che del centro sociale romano è rimasto solo il nome e che il processo di “infighettamento” ha inghiottito anche i fasti di party a base di pogate e eskimo militari.<br />
Nell’attesa ho preso un bicchiere di vino (lo so, sto sembrando un alcolizzato) e ho chiesto udienza al disponibilissimo cubano di origini russe, che mentre mi faceva una confessione di cui non vi dirò, si dirigeva verso il tavolo dove è nata una mini intervista.<br />
“Nicanor è l’uomo della moltitudine, è le mille sfaccettature della persona comune”, mi ha risposto alla domanda più ovvia sulla sua “creatura” letteraria. “E’ nato quando lavoravo con una compagnia umoristica e da lì ha proseguito la sua vita. La cosa che mi piace pensare è che da adolescenti tutti ci sentiamo speciali ma con il passare del tempo ci rendiamo conto di essere tutti dei Nicanor”.<br />
Eduardo è un fiume in piena, beve la sua birra con gusto, si sposta i capelli dagli occhi e molto spesso mi sembra che abbia un modo di fare molto timido, ma è solo l’impressione.<br />
Nei suoi racconti temi come il sogno e la fede, in un modo o nell’altro si rincorrono e mi conferma subito questo sentore “Il sogno non è notturno, il sogno deve essere di tutta una vita, non relegato all’atto del dormire. Per Cuba, l’atto del sognare è diventata l’ultima utopia, per me l’imprevedibilità del sogno è il valore della libertà umana” e quando gli chiedo se la fede è nell’uomo, in Dio o nella scienza allarga le braccia ghignando: “Non sono Kierkegard. Sono ateo, a prescindere da Cuba, e quindi Dio non mi appartiene. La scienza si nega al concetto di fede perché si evolve e contraddice di continuo. Penso che la fede sia nell’uomo”.<br />
Si avvicinano per dirci che tra un po’ inizierà la proiezione e colgo l’occasione per assestare altri due ganci alla mia curiosità, riferendomi ad un certo cinismo che ho percepito nel fondo dei racconti. “E’ un simil humor, non un vero e proprio cinismo il mio. È una maniera di trattare il cinema, la letteratura, la vita. Ma non c’è negatività, freddezza”.<br />
Arrivano e tra poco me lo porteranno via, faccio mente locale: ho l’autografo, ho il libro, ho voglia di un’ultima domanda, di chiedere un’ultima cosa e mi rivedo il racconto di <em>Regina</em> (che dovete leggere per capire la mia ultima questio) davanti agli occhi e mentre mi ringrazia, si alza e si allontana gli grido: “Eduardo! Ma com’era il culo di Regina?”. Ride abbracciando l’aria ed esclama “Meraviglioso!”.<br />
Meraviglioso il momento, il gesto, il libro. Meravigliosa la compagnia, le ragazze della serata e i cuba libre che poi mi hanno riaccompagnato a casa mentre pensavo che aveva ragione lui quando diceva che Nicanor è dentro ognuno di noi. Solo che alcuni lo riconoscono subito, altri lo mascherano e molti come me, se lo abbracciano stretto ogni notte. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8863" title="cuba-libre" src="http://repeatingislands.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cuba-libre.jpg" alt="cuba-libre" width="480" height="640" /></p>
<p>The <em>Washington Times</em> reports that the Obama administration appointees running the Food and Drug Administration are about to declare one of the Caribbean’s favorite cocktails—the incomparable <em>Cuba Libre</em> (or rum and Coca Cola) a serious threat to public health. The FDA, in its deep wisdom, has decided that the combination of caffeine and alcohol in a drink may be a horrifying threat to public health. Or, in FDA speak, the combination is not &#8220;generally recognized as safe.&#8221; As a result, the agency ordered the manufacturers of pre-mixed beverages that combine the two ingredients to prove the nefarious concoctions are safe. If manufacturers don&#8217;t provide the proof, the FDA will pull the products from stores and bars.</p>
<p>According to Bacardi, the combination of rum and Coke &#8211; which combines alcohol and caffeine &#8211; goes back more than a century to the Spanish-American War when Theodore Roosevelt and the Roughriders, from the land of Coca-Cola, landed in Cuba, an island flowing with rum, and decided to combine the two during timeouts between battles with the hapless Spanish. Originally, the Roughriders called their drink &#8220;Cuba Libre&#8221; because they were fighting to liberate Cuba from Spain.</p>
<p>Since I’ve been watching people drinking <em>Cuba Libres</em> all my life and have had my share myself, I think the combination is not only safe but sometimes the best thing for what ails you. If you haven’t tried one, here’s how to mix one:</p>
<p>2oz rum</p>
<p>Coca Cola</p>
<p>Lime</p>
<p>Pour into an ice-filled highball glass and squeeze the lime to taste.</p>
<p>It tastes much better if you use Coca Cola from Latin America, which is usually sweetened with sugar cane instead of corn fructose. If you live in the US, look for a Mexican market or taquería near you and get Coca Cola imported from Mexico. Much, much better than US bottled Coke.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In seara asta am invatat un lucru valoros: sunt prea batrana sa mai atarn prin cluburi.</p>
<p>De 3 saptamani am tot planuit sa ies intr-o birtoteca, sa dansez si eu ca tot omul in vazul lumii, nu doar in intimitatea casei mele, si s-a dus dracului tot in seara asta. M-am imbracat, m-am facut mai urata decat eram, si am pornit catre No Name toata entuziasmata ca nu voi mai dansa de una singura. Am ajuns, am beut o Cuba Libre desi am promis intr-un post ca nu mai pun gura pe alcool, am vazut si&#8230;am plecat. Am stat o ora juma&#8217; in club! Nici alcoolul nu m-a mai ajutat. Sunt o cauza pierduta mai ales ca am realizat ca mai bine stau si dorm cu matza decat sa-mi pierd vremea intr-un birt in care nici muzica nu-mi place.</p>
<p>Asta e, trebuie sa ma resemnez ca voi dansa cu oglinda pentru tot restul vietii mele. Sau cu Claudiu, in cel mai rau caz. Pentru cine nu stie, Claudiu este prietenul meu imaginar.</p>
<p>V-am pupat pe toti care ati imbatranit ca mine!</p>

<p>After a whirlwind 30 hours in southern CA, my mom and I headed up to Oakland yesterday to pay a visit to my sister, who&#8217;s attending grad school at UC Berkeley (Go Bears!)</p>
<p>Mom worked a half-day first, so I did a little Zumba Live in the morning with Kabi Jo. Let me tell you, she is not a fan of the footwork! She kept nipping at my toes to try to get me to stop&#8230;it was hilarious!</p>
<p>After my workout I headed to Panera for an ice-blended mocha (it was hot) and decided to try one of their &#8220;Power Breakfast Sandwiches&#8221;: whole grain bread toasted with lean ham, an egg and a slice of white cheddar. Delish!</p>
<p>I also picked up half a Sierra Turkey and a small BBQ chopped salad for a quick lunch before we left for the airport, but I didn&#8217;t end up eating the salad. Too much food.</p>
<p>We landed in Oakland, dropped our stuff at my sister&#8217;s adorable little house that she shares with her college roommate, and headed to our cousin&#8217;s place for a homemade dinner. I got to meet their baby boy for the first time and we had a very nice, relaxing evening with family.</p>
<p>Man, I am KICKING myself for not bringing my camera. I wish I could share the adorable-ness with you.</p>
<p>Dinner was a salad with Newman&#8217;s Own Tuscan Dressing, beets, and cherry tomatoes from their garden, plus pesto spaghetti and grilled chicken. Plus two slices of baguette. Plus plenty of red wine. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We woke up this morning to a beautiful crisp fall day and headed out for a long walk along Lake Merritt and a stop at the local farmer&#8217;s market. We picked up berries for our breakfast tomorrow, and sampled a few goodies from the booths. My favorite was the Indian food &#8211; pumpkin flat bread topped with jalapeno chutney. Yummers! We bought a bag of toasted dal to share three ways &#8211; they look like little rice crispies and will go great on a salad. We also stopped for coffee along our walk and I ordered &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; an iced mocha. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After our refreshing walk, we came back and reconnoitered, then headed out to help my sister and her roomie do some shopping for their Halloween party.</p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t stop to eat lunch until 4 pm!</p>
<p>Mom, sister and I split a falafel platter, with tabouleh, hummus, tahini sauce, feta and kalamata olives. It was just right! Enough to revive my blood sugar but not too much that I wasn&#8217;t hungry later.</p>
<p>We hung out at the house for a few hours&#8230;Mom helped hang curtains, sister and roomie started decorating for their party, and I &#8230; studied. Shocker. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We each had a Mike&#8217;s hard lemonade and a glass of champagne while we &#8220;worked&#8221; until our late dinner.</p>
<p>Which was spectacular! We went to Dona Tomas to celebrate my birthday a week early. It is a high-end Mexican restaurant in Oakland with a &#8220;California twist.&#8221; It was oh so yummy!</p>
<p>They started us with a small plate of tortilla chips topped with cotija cheese and served with a flavorful salsa. We also ordered toasted pumpkin seeds, which were excellent!</p>
<p>I decided to go with the &#8220;tacos de camarones&#8221; and they did not disappoint! That&#8217;s actually an understatement &#8230;. they were SO GOOD! Shrimp grilled and flavorful in a taco with jalapeno slices and veggies. The best part was that they served a sweet potato puree on the side! A little scoop on my taco did just the trick.</p>
<p>I drank a &#8220;Cuba Libre&#8221; with my din din &#8211; Mexican coke, rum, vanilla and lime. Not the best cocktail I&#8217;ve ever had, but a fun version of rum &#8216;n coke.</p>
<p>We skipped dessert, but I gave them endless amounts of grief about how they failed to inform our waiter that it was my birthday. Therefore I got neither a birthday song nor a free dessert. Not that I needed the calories, but it was fun to give them a hard time. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m headed back to Portland tomorrow and have a few days to catch up/get ahead on NCLEX studying, go shoe shopping for my graduation Danskos, and chop my hair off!!!!!!! More about that to come&#8230;</p>
<p>Nighty nite!</p>

<p><strong>El Blog del Cubanitoweb se suma a la campaña por una Cuba Libre para este próximo 20 de Octubre en Internet. Reproducimos aquí el llamamiento del </strong><a href="http://desarraigos.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Blog Desarraigos Provocados</strong></a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DYBApFH4sxo/StrZ-RHMdXI/AAAAAAAAG9U/jGpwl9TcZNQ/s400/libertadblogaccion.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="115" />El <strong>20 de octubre</strong> pedimos que desde los blogs, las redes sociales y toda la Web, SE REPITA el primero de junio con una BLOGACCIÓN por<strong>alguno de</strong> <strong>o todos</strong> los siguientes reclamos:</p>
<p>- <strong>LIBERTAD DE OPINION</strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Cuba&#8217;s most famous blogger, <a href="http://www.desdecuba.com/generaciony/" target="_blank">Yoani Sánchez</a>, is going to <a href="http://twitter.com/yoanisanchez/status/4861327260" target="_blank">celebrate</a> her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Moors_Cabot_prize" target="_blank">Maria Moors Cabot Prize</a> at her home in Havana. The Castro government doesn&#8217;t allow her to leave the country to receive the prize. <a href="http://twitter.com/yoanisanchez/status/4823332177" target="_blank">Neither can she travel to Brazil</a> where she was going to present her book, <a href="http://www.periodismociudadano.com/2009/05/21/el-gobierno-cubano-no-consigue-acallar-la-voz-de-yoani-sanchez/" target="_blank">Cuba Libre</a>, and speak in Congress.<!--more-->Yoani is on Twitter. Sometimes she cannot be seen for days and then suddenly she announces a new post on her blog or a meeting of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16189644229" target="_blank">growing amount of bloggers in Cuba</a>.</p>
<p>Her tone has always been quiet and especially ironic. But it looks like lately she has grown desperate because of the lack of freedom people in Cuba suffer. Just look at her <a href="http://twitter.com/yoanisanchez" target="_blank">Twitter account</a> and it is clear. She wants to scream to get internet for all Cubans. She is fed up with &#8216;blind blogging&#8217;: that means she has to send her texts to friends, who put in on her blog, because from Cuba she doesn&#8217;t have access to it. It is blocked by the authorities.</p>
<p>She dreams of an island where everybody can enter and leave as (s)he wishes. Ironically, the grandson of the legendary <a href="http://wiesubags.wordpress.com/category/che-guevara/" target="_self">Che Guevara</a>, <a href="http://wiesubags.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/che-guevaras-grandson-cant-go-to-cuba/" target="_self">Canek Sánchez, cannot get in</a>.</p>
<p>For a while she is hopeful and trusts that soon her country will be more pluralistic and less authoritarian, but than her despair and anger win again: &#8220;Friends what about pushing this wall in Twitter as well? (&#8230;.) Friends, we have to set fire to Twitter with a demand: internet and freedom to move for Cubans.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of her last tweets today: &#8220;All right, I already have to go. The short minutes in internet just ended. A big hug for all of you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Big hug to you as well, Yoani.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Unterwegs vom <a href="http://eminenz.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/hanabinala-stausee/" target="_self">Hanabanilla-Stausee </a>zum Kurort im Nationalpark Topes de Colantes auf den Anhöhen über Trinidad. Die Straße ist mehr und mehr von Schlaglöchern übersät und mit der Beschilderung haben es die Kubaner auch nicht unbedingt. Also dem Kompass vertrauen.</p>
<p>Interessant sind die Reisemöglichkeiten der Kubaner im Landesinneren: Man fährt auf der Ladefläche von Lkw&#8217;s mit, Pferdefuhrwerke sind Standard, im Nationalpark sieht man auch viele Reiter hoch zu Ross &#8211; interessanterweise ausschließlich Männer. Neben der Schlagloch-übersäten Straße Schilder, die die Revolution preisen. Castro und Che allüberall. Und in den Ortschaften sitzen die Männer vor den kleinen Markthallen in der Sonne und beobachten den Straßenverkehr. So schön zum die Seele baumeln lassen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3491" title="Portugal" src="http://revolucionaria.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/portugal.png" alt="Portugal" width="273" height="248" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Portugal, Portugal!<br />
País de virgens ofendidas. Reino da hipocrisia e da mesquinhez escondida.<br />
Aqui reside gente séria e humilde, povo de brandos costumes. Pelo menos na aparência.</p>
<p>Entre quatro paredes transfiguram-se e são os campeões da violência doméstica e sexual. Neste capítulo, pessoalmente comecei a percepcionar este horrível fenómeno na adolescência, quando comecei a namoriscar e mais tarde por colegas, amigas e clientes da empresa onde trabalho. Quase todas, tinham e têm uma &#8220;história&#8221;; ou um tio, um primo mais velho, o vizinho, o colega do pai, o padrasto, o avô e às vezes o pai.<br />
Mas que grande porra! Este País anda muito doente.<br />
Aqui na Lusitânia muitos segredos se guardam, o que vem ao lume é uma pequeníssima percentagem do que ficou calado e muitas vezes mal perdoado. Até dá vontade de vomitar com tanta nojeira, tal a dimensão.</p>
<p>País cinzento, triste, e brutalmente depressivo e meio embrutecido. Somos os maiores nas sopas de cavalo cansado e nos anti-depressivos. O fado que carregamos, por natureza, é de choro e lamúria.<br />
Somos case-study de grandes multinacionais pelo elevado índice de carneirismo. Telemóveis per-capita, não existe quem nos agarre. Apinhar centros comerciais é uma ciência que os portugueses mostram toda uma capacidade assídua.</p>
<p>No limite da hipocrisia e de uma forma genérica, o portuga ao volante de um automóvel é um verdadeiro animal, vocifera e esbraceja que nem um corsa, mas, minutos depois fora do carro no café ou no restaurante à porta da entrada é o mais educado que existe &#8211; Faça favor! Não, você primeiro!<br />
No automóvel protegido por uma carroçaria, solta todos os impropérios que lhe vêm à memória, no olhos nos olhos, cobarde que é, hipocritamente é um cidadão exemplar.</p>
<p>Somos pobritos, produzimos pouco, trabalha-se o País todo ao contrário. A incompetência grassa, pois a organização parte de erros de base. Tanto na política e na economia em geral.<br />
Na política uns se filiam como rampa de lançamento para tachos bem remunerados, na economia patrocinam os políticos para fazerem leis porreiras pá. É um ciclo vicioso.<br />
Custa-me é saber que neste País existe tanta gente válida, competente e capaz, mas que, estão nos lugares errados, naqueles lugares que não comprometem os ímpios que enriquecem à bruta e à conta de todo um povo imbecilizado.</p>
<p>Somos todos uns educadinhos, onde educação é saber dizer bom-dia antes do meio-dia, quando se acaba de comer pôr os talheres em determinado lado, não dizer asneiras ao pé dos senhores doutores. Doutor nestas bandas, afinal, basta ser Lic. (licenciado), tal é ânsia de ser doutor ou engenheiro, que tudo se faz para obter tal chapa. Houve por aí um primeiro-ministro que até por fax enviava os exames, no melhor inglês técnico que o dinheiro pode comprar.</p>
<p>Crise? Mas, qual crise?<br />
Antes de o sermos, já estávamos. Já o tirano César dizia, que aquele povo, lá do canto da Ibéria, não se governa nem se deixa governar.<br />
Pode ser da genética, pois tantas vezes fomos invadidos. No nosso sangue, correm muitos sangues. Pelo norte, pelo sul e por este. Visigodos, Hunos, árabes e outros. Somos uma mescla desenraízada de outros povos. Talvez daí este povo seja por natureza conformista e ordeira perante poderes vingentes.</p>
<p>Reclamam que se farta, mas como, burricos que são e por não saberem reclamar passa tudo ao lado.<br />
Recentemente, criou-se o Livro de Reclamações, que à nascença seria uma ferramenta útil para os cidadãos e empresas melhorarem serviços colmatando falhas revelados por quem usufrui.<br />
Mas rápidamente, esse instrumento nas mãos de bestitas, perdeu o efeito. Reclamam porque está a chover, porque está sol, porque o bidé está muito próximo da sanita ou porque é bife com batatas fritas. Os serviços foram inundados de reclamações e o seu efeito foi diluído, principalmente, pela estupidez lusa em geral.<br />
Julgam-se uma espécie de brazonaria, mas bacocos, dão cabeçadas nas paredes e alguns até fazer sangue.</p>
<p>Eça de Queiroz, Fernando Pessoa e Bocage, este último mais directo com seus versos eróticos/pornográficos punham toda a sociedade portuguesa a nú. Uma sociedade como tantas outras, aparentes no seu modo estatutário existencialista.</p>
<p>Parte é induzida, por responsáveis de sucursais, com sedes tenebrosas. Dividir para reinar é o mote.<br />
&#8220;Deixá-los estragar-se uns aos outros, desde que trabalhem para nós. Não precisam de saber quem somos, ainda confundíamos mais, estas cabecinhas borreguinhas&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Todos nós somos responsáveis pelo o estado a que isto chegou. Quem não sabe, procure se informar, você tem de fazer qualquer coisa. Imobilismo não é desculpa.<br />
Mas, pare de mamar na mama da Loba.</p>
<p>No vídeo em baixo, um grande anti-depressivo, para colocar sua vida em cima.<br />
Nascem, vivem e morrem. Vocês são ensinados à nascença que tudo tem um princípio, meio e fim.<br />
Já se perguntaram se será, mesmo assim?<br />
Será que houve princípio?<br />
Haverá fim?<br />
O que é, que é o meio?</p>
<p>Será que existem? A maior parte quando morre, conclui, vivi toda uma vida, e passei ao lado dela.</p>
<p>Ainda vão a tempo de uma gestação consciencial. Eu posso ajudar.</p>
