Esta es la transcripción de un fragmento de vídeo visto este miércoles en el Intermedio (vídeo 2, minuto 20’30”). En ella, una mujer (presumiblemente anciana) llama al programa nocturno del vidente Sandro Rey de La Sexta, para preguntar por la salud de su nieta. Se produce entonces la siguiente conversación:<br />
<br />
—Hola, buenas noches.<br />
—Hola buenas noches.<br />
—¿En qué le puedo ayudar señora?<br />
—Pues quería saber por la salud de una nieta.<br />
—La salud de su nieta… hombre, aquí lo que más salen son alergias e insuficiencias respiratorias. ¿Cómo se llama usted?<br />
—Yo soy Leo.<br />
—Pues lo que veo más es cansancio físico o psíquico, o sea, “farta” de oxígeno, alguna alergia, algún problema en las vías respiratorias, las fosas nasales, faringe, bronquitis… eso es lo que yo le veo a esta nena. Pero no le veo nada malo, es pasajero, o sea…<br />
—No, no, no… la niña no tiene eso eh, nada de eso.<br />
—Bueno, eso es lo que yo estoy viendo.<br />
—No, no, no, no.<br />
—¿Qué tiene la niña?<br />
—La niña tiene una enfermedad que le llaman Crohn, el Crohn. Y alergia no tiene ninguna.<br />
—Sí… bueno, piense que… pero piense que esa enfermedad le crea una insuficiencia respiratoria. Eso no lo digo yo, lo dicen los doctores de…<br />
—De momento no la tiene.<br />
—Bueno, esa enfermedad, normalmente, los doctores de este país lo saben, crea a medida que va pasando el tiempo una insuficiencia respiratoria y las defensas al estar muy débiles también crean alergias, alergias internas-externas, o sea… Esa es la enfermedad que usted dice que tiene esa nena. Pues muy bien, pero deriva, deriva… o sea, lo que yo digo estoy diciendo es deriva. Y ella, aunque ahora no lo tenga no quiere decir que no lo vaya a tener pero yo, a la nena, lo que sí <span style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">le recomiendo es que la pongáis en manos de un buen homeópata</span>.<br />
<br />
--------------------<br />
<br />
Es decir, que el tipo le diagnostica a la nena alergia, insuficiencias respiratorias, cansancio físico, cansancio psíquico, falta de oxígeno, problemas en las fosas nasales, la faringe, bronquitis… todo ello pasajero. Y cuando la nena resulta tener una enfermedad crónica intestinal este señor insiste en que ha acertado ¡y le recomienda acudir al homeópata! Desde luego, el que no se consuela es porque no quiere. Por no hablar de su total desconocimiento de <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfermedad_de_Crohn">la enfermedad de Crohn</a></span> o las alergias (más le vadría tener un buen acceso a Google y dejar de darle vueltas a la dichosa bolita). Quizás su único acierto (pura poesía) haya sido afiliarse tan oportunamente con esos timadores reconocidos.<br />
<br />
Es de chiste y tendría muchísima gracia si no fuese tan real. Hay gente, especialmente la más vulnerable, que confía verdaderamente en estos estafadores. Y lo malo no es que necesiten una palabra de consuelo y alguien se la proporcione. Supongo que alguien que llama a un programa así tiene una pregunta que no sale de su cabeza y sólo desea darle solución de forma positiva (si recibiese una mala noticia, la preocupación no se disiparía y eso lo saben bien los videntes timadores). Lo malo es cuando este consuelo pretende sustituir al consejo oportuno de un experto, suplantar al médico, cuando se atreve a dar diagnósticos y a sugerir tratamientos. Entonces pone en verdadero riesgo la salud de quien confía en él, a veces más que en su propio médico.<br />
<br />
¿No se podrían prohibir este tipo de conductas? ¿denunciar al estafador por negligente en casos parecidos? Sería tan sencillo como obligarles a dar una respuesta estándar cuando se trate de temas médicos. Podría incluso estar grabada, una voz en off que resonaría en el plató automáticamente ante la llamada oportuna: “Las autoridades sanitarias advierten que este intrigante no está autorizado a estafarle en temas relacionados con su salud. Si busca consejo, hable con su médico”. A fin de cuentas, no creo que las cajetillas de tabaco sean mucho más perjudiciales que estos señores.nata.lokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552229582003120426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749010831837708399.post-2619150878833669402010-10-30T12:20:00.000+01:002010-10-30T12:20:16.468+01:00Manifiesto por una Universidad libre de pseudociencia y oscurantismoAnte la cada vez más abundante proliferación de conferencias, cursos, seminarios y todo tipo de actividades que diferentes corrientes pseudocientíficas están desarrollando dentro del marco de las universidades españolas y latinoamericanas, tendencia que cristaliza en la reciente creación de una Cátedra de Investigación sobre Homeopatía en la Universidad de Zaragoza, los abajo firmantes (científicos, profesores, alumnos y ciudadanos en general) nos vemos en la necesidad de manifestar lo siguiente:<br />
<br />
La colaboración entre la Universidad y la Empresa, así como con otros organismos y agentes sociales es enriquecedora, productiva y debe ser considerada como una de las prioridades de la política universitaria. Los acuerdos y contratos para la transferencia de resultados de la investigación a la empresa privada pueden representar una importante fuente de financiación para las universidades públicas; los cuales, desarrollados convenientemente, permiten una mayor productividad científica y la optimización de las aplicaciones de tal actividad. Sin embargo, creemos que no es justificable que la Universidad busque vías de financiación a cualquier precio, y aún menos si con ello pervierte su filosofía y fines fundamentales.<br />
<br />
La Universidad Pública, como cualquier otro organismo de la administración, debe estar al servicio del ciudadano, manteniendo un contacto permanente con la sociedad de la que forma parte, mediante una comunicación constante que permita la sintonía entre el mundo universitario y las necesidades sociales. Para cumplir estos objetivos, la Universidad debe ser un adalid en lo referente a innovación y a exploración de nuevos caminos para el conocimiento. La Universidad nunca debe ser una estatua, sino una animación en constante movimiento.<br />
<br />
No es posible entender la función investigadora y el compromiso social de la Universidad sin la imbricación con su papel fundamental en la formación de ciudadanos libres, capaces de enfrentarse al mundo mediante una mentalidad crítica que les permita escapar de las cadenas de la irracionalidad, la superstición y la ignorancia. Esta función docente, completamente consustancial a la institución universitaria, va más allá de las aulas, al representar la Universidad un referente en cuanto a conocimiento y racionalidad para toda la sociedad.<br />
<br />
En este sentido, la Universidad juega un papel muy importante ante el avance que en la sociedad contemporánea están teniendo determinadas corrientes anticientíficas y antirracionales, que pueden suponer un significativo retroceso hacia el oscurantismo y la superstición, algo que se encuentra en el polo opuesto de los objetivos universitarios. Nos preocupa, como universitarios y como ciudadanos, que bien entrado el siglo XXI cada vez prolifere un mayor número de terapias más próximas a la magia que a la medicina, en muchas ocasiones amparadas por instituciones y empresas médicas profesionales; nos preocupa que presidentes de gobierno consulten astrólogos; que pulseras mágicas declaradas oficialmente fraudulentas sean portadas por ministros de sanidad y constituyan el regalo más vendido de las últimas navidades; que cada vez haya más ciudadanos que crean firmemente que las vacunas son tóxicas y nefastas para la salud; que aumente el número de enfermos que abandonan el tratamiento médico para abrazar alternativas esotéricas; nos preocupa muy seriamente que gran parte de la población vuelva a confiar más en los curanderos que en la medicina científica.<br />
<br />
Nos preocupa que la Universidad pueda convertirse en un mercadillo que de cabida a cualquier alternativa irracional al conocimiento científico. Sólo una mal entendida apertura de mentalidad puede justificar que se enseñe alquimia en las Facultades de Química, ufología en las de Física o el diluvio universal en las de Historia. Ofrecer el foro universitario a las pseudociencias, en igualdad de condiciones con el conocimiento racional, no se traduce en ningún enriquecimiento cultural, sino en una validación universitaria de la superstición y la charlatanería. Difícilmente podremos educar a nuestros hijos sobre la inexistencia de bases empíricas en la predicción astrológica si van a encontrar en el campus universitario cursos de postgrado en astrología.<br />
<br />
Reza una de las máximas en ciencia que la razón no debe aceptar algo como cierto sólo porque lo afirme mucha gente o porque lo suscriban personajes importantes, y que siempre es necesario detenerse ante cualquier afirmación y dudar sobre si es o no cierta. Esto obliga a actuar mucho más despacio, a sopesar cuidadosamente las opciones, a avanzar con cautela ante cualquier tipo de propuesta. Y esta es una de las cosas que creemos firmemente que debe enseñarse en las universidades.<br />
<br />
Por todo ello, nos preocupa que la Universidad de cabida a cursos sobre acupuntura, a conferencias sobre creacionismo, a seminarios sobre astrología y a cátedras sobre homeopatía. Nos preocupa especialmente si no se enfocan como un debate crítico y un análisis racional, sino con un presupuesto de funcionalidad y validación científica de los que no sólo carecen, sino que están en frontal oposición al espíritu crítico universitario.<br />
<br />
En el caso concreto de la homeopatía, aunque de igual aplicación para el resto de pseudociencias, no se ha demostrado científicamente ni su fundamento teórico (que contradice nuestros conocimientos sobre química y medicina más elementales), ni su efectividad más allá de un placebo. Décadas atrás, se destinaron importantes estudios a buscar una posible base en los postulados homeopáticos, los cuales no han variado significativamente en doscientos años, base que jamás se encontró.<br />
<br />
Nos resulta extremadamente paradójico que mientras gobiernos europeos retiran fondos y apoyos estatales a la práctica homeopática, en España se instauren cátedras dentro de las universidades públicas. El aval que esto supone, sitúa a la homeopatía, a la astrología o al espiritismo dentro de la categoría de disciplinas universitarias; máxime cuando no nos encontramos exclusivamente ante una actividad de investigación sobre un fenómeno dudoso, sino ante una institucionalización dirigida a la formación y divulgación de estos postulados.<br />
<br />
Consideramos por último, que si bien está justificado profundizar y destinar fondos a cualquier aspecto que pueda ser investigado, la especial situación económica actual convierte la inversión de esfuerzo y medios en este tipo de disciplinas totalmente desacreditadas en un acto de puro despilfarro de recursos, que podrían emplearse en líneas de investigación y docencia muchísimo más prioritarias.<br />
<br />
Las personas que desde distintos estamentos y colectivos de la sociedad suscribimos este manifiesto, deseamos llamar la atención sobre este importante aspecto al conjunto de la población y, especialmente, a las autoridades académicas y gubernativas, confiando en que la razón acabe imponiéndose sobre la superstición y el oscurantismo.<br />

<b>And two</b>. Today I've seen Kick Ass, and my punctuation is... FREAKING AWESOME!! You cannot imagine the great time that I have had in the cinema. Wow, I was expecting just a regular movie, maybe a couple of laughs... but this film has a level of awesomenimity that not many movies can reach, and the soundtrack is just perfect: the perfect songs in the perfect moments.<br />
I didn't know that the director was Matthew Vaughn, and this is the second time that he surprises me. When I watched Stardust, I didn't know anything about it and I was just thinking about spend almost two hours with a random movie... but after 10 minutes I was totally loving that beautiful fairy tale; I think that I'm going to watch it again soon :D<br />

Tomorrow is still dark, but I know where is my place, I know where I want to be then... HERE!! Yes, it will be difficult to find a job, to deal with the language and cultural differences, but I do not care, I'll receive the strength needed to shake the planet!<br />
If you know me enough, you knew that the probability of that happening was almost 1, and there was a big anchor but its rope was cut... so I don't want to see anybody surprised (:<br />
<br />
Hundreds of things are happening here (remember the picture, in some years you will start seeing something similar in TV's all around the World!), experiences, meetings... and my entire being needs to stay.<br />
But for now, I'm still "fighting" the big "monster", trying to study all that I can (I must say that I'm quite absentminded) to not have any problem coming here next year and start with the big stuff.<br />

If you are reading from Spain, hopefully, next time that I see you, it will be for a long farewell :D<br />

<br />
I'm being really busy, I didn't noticed that this semester is shorter than the previous one, we are almost finished! I'm almost done with my project (next week I have a demonstration), and this last month has been hard but more interesting, finally I started to do something "real", not only read books and articles!<br />
<br />
This morning have started dark, I have had some "unexpected" (at least so soon) news, but well, I have really good friends (here and in Spain) that are helping me to deal with them.<br />

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!<br />
Please, lets have one moment of silence.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
Today I'm not very happy, so I'm going to extend this moment until tomorrow (;_·)nata.lokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552229582003120426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749010831837708399.post-14608662073577407902010-01-29T19:49:00.001+00:002010-01-30T01:45:22.955+00:00Winner and winner again!Yesterday was a good day :)<br />
<br />
First at all we had our first (and I think that single) lab of Bioelectronics... really different to what I am used, instead working with electronic components or computers, our material was baby-hamster cells :D<br />
It is a simple experiment were we have to grow cells in different samples (gold, aluminium, etc.), but it was funny, we felt like biology or medicine student, with our white coats, microscopes, trying to keep everything sterile... what a waste of material, after using any instrument, we had to throw it!<br />
Next week, we will return to see what has happened (slow experiment! :P)<br />
<br />
Apart of technical stuff (here you can see that they have enough money), there is a big difference with Zaragoza Uni, in Zaragoza, when you are in lab, usually there is only one person to help and check that all is correct; here the room is full of people: main professor, some assistants of the course and lab assistants!!<br />
<br />
After that, at night, happened the big suprise, still cannot believe it: I won something in a raffle (and twice)... I think that is the first time in my life that happens :)<br />
I bought only two stripes of numbers and the two were prized!! First a soaps kit and after that two DVD ("La vie en rose" and "Millions") Lucky day!<br />
Even without this happening, was a great night, definitely Ceilidhs are one of the best things in the world :)nata.lokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552229582003120426noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749010831837708399.post-21909539379195312632010-01-28T01:59:00.002+00:002010-01-28T11:47:34.036+00:00I LOVE HAGGIS, I LOVE KILTS, I LOVE BAGPIPES!!Finally, this week I have tried <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis">Haggis</a>, and I can say they are really tasty... but they have a problem: when I ate them, the inner Scottish that is inside all of us started to wake up and it made me buy a kilt (a cheap-ass one... for now), and a bagpipe!!<br />
I'm afraid of what will happen when I eat more ('cause I'll do :P)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTGZi50_jP3N1Jz0UcC9E4ZJI6smU0W-e9d3A4wknGaSvDmEJvF59k4RfzPj9KygCPFGQ5INGcbX6jNYUdV1_OoAPqtz7SEEZxvo544-fjNpnUSr70nw5uuQW8mze5ZBk9DGaOqC7Nls/s1600-h/kilt_18058a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTGZi50_jP3N1Jz0UcC9E4ZJI6smU0W-e9d3A4wknGaSvDmEJvF59k4RfzPj9KygCPFGQ5INGcbX6jNYUdV1_OoAPqtz7SEEZxvo544-fjNpnUSr70nw5uuQW8mze5ZBk9DGaOqC7Nls/s200/kilt_18058a.jpg" width="200" /></a>After wearing the kilt for a while I notice that it's really comfortable!! I think that it would be a great idea, export them to the rest of the world (well, at least to Spain)... and they are also very stylish :P<br />
<br />
About my new blowing-toy, I bought a practice one in order to be able to play in home without the police calling at my door :P and because it was the cheaper one (the cheapest Highland bagpipe was more than 600 pounds!), but I am VERY happy with it, sounds nice, and it is really funny :P<br />
<br />
I think that I have discovered why Scots are such a nice people:<br />
- You need to blow A LOT to play a bagpipe, you start to feel dizzy... we can say that this is some kind of happiness, plus<br />
- Whisky and beer and whisky and beer and whisky... everybody is definitely happy, plus<br />
- Kilts are freedom, even more happiness!!nata.lokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552229582003120426noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749010831837708399.post-33353045676180091252010-01-18T02:42:00.000+00:002010-01-18T02:42:43.135+00:00Wasting time?Sometimes when I'm studying, cannot avoid thinking that I'm just wasting time, I'm not understanding what those symbols want to say to me... but when I finally catch up a concept that has been "disturbing" all that time, I feel sooo good! :D<br />
<br />
I spent the whole last week working with a book that seems to be a good one, but I was having that feeling, just reading meaningless lines, and "suddenly" Friday I found other book that has opened my mind, I have advanced more in this weekend than in all the time since Christmas Holidays, hope that I can maintain this timing :S<br />
<br />
This semester I am VERY busy in the University, the project, lot of courses... but I'm happy, be doing all these things make me busy and I almost don't have time to "other" thoughts; also the lectures are quite interesting, until now all that I have been studying was too focused to the same, now I'm having more variety: maths, electronics, computers, biology, physics... I think that this happiness will disappear in a couple weeks when the exams period begins, but that will be a future-"Nat" (I have a new nick) problem.<br />
<br />
Future-present-past... time!

Sorry, it has been a long time since the last time that I wrote here, after my last post has been a really busy time... but I think that I'm going to be able to continue with this little project.<br />
Finally I have been in London!! Yes, before Christmas I went to spend some days with a couple of friends there (David y Jeza :P ), I think that I have visited all the London atractions... and now I can assure you that this big city cannot do anything against any town of Scotland (at least all that I have visited :P); it was nice, with hundreds of places to visit, but I didn't like the style at all, I still prefer castles, towers... If I have to choose the place that I liked the most... I think that it is de Science museum (I have to go back to visit it again with more time, and more money because I NEED all the stuff that is selt in their store :P). Also, cannot forget to say that I felt a bit dissapointed about the London Christmas, don't know, I was expecting something like New York in the TV, full of Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas people... English people is really boring, Glasgow was a better place (and the commercial streets were full of people playing music :D).<br />
<br />

<br />
Coming here again was an example of adventure, it was a very long day! I woke up at about 7 am, and I arrived to Glasgow at about 11 pm (Spanish hour), everthing has happened in that journey: canceled bus, delayed (and almost canceled) train, attempted theft, delayed flight... a really exhausting day... but I am here again, with a lot of things to study, and a lot of things that I want to do... unfortunately, some of them, like going to some concerts (Celtic Connections rulez), won't be able to be, my economy is not very strong now :P<br />
<br />
I will try to write more often again, and hopefully I won't break a leg in the slippery ice that is in all the city :D <br />

<br />
</div>It has been a really nice musical this evening, has been hard (if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry, personal stuff), but still brilliant; maybe this can be some kind of therapy, try to enjoy "old" things by myself to get rid of the past. Don't know, I will ask some experts :)<br />
<br />
If you know me enough, you know that I cannot do something without made critics about it :P so I going to tell you what I haven't liked so much: basically the music. Let me explain, the score is really nice but the performance has been kind of weak. The voices that has been choosen, all of them are really shrill. And the worst of all: <b>the "orchestra", it consisted of 4 guys playing keyboards!!</b> I love computers , but I hate computer music... you can't pretend that you are listening a violin or an oboe with that horrible noise, seriously, I would have prefered canned music :S<br />
Apart of that, the cast, the <b>technical stuff (woooahhh)</b>... delighting (never better said, they like blinding lights).<br />
Comparing, the performance that I saw in Spain, I can say that they are different; the Spanish one was also full of children but it was more "serious", better voices... in Donia words, the show today, has been <i>"more focused to children, not to real people"</i> You could even eat hot-dogs, chips, have a drink...!!! It is also true that here it has been much cheaper than Spain ;)<br />
<div><br />
Summarizing, all of you (yes, I'm talking to the boring Erasmus-Facebook people that were invited to come) have lost a funny, wonderful and exciting time today :D<br />

</div><div>Another curious thing here (at least for me), are the cards, all of them are chip-card, first days here, when I went to pay with my Spanish swipe card, the shopguy didn't know what was that, he had to call his supervisor to explain how this thing worked. In my first visit to Spain (the happy one), I asked my bank to have one of these cards, and they told me that in some years there will only be chip cards in European Union, and I think, that probably Spain is the only country that is still issuing new swipe cards. So, if you are planning to travel outside of Spain (specially north of Europe), try to get a chip-card, it will be easier for you; and if you are not planning to go anywhere, try to get one also, they are much safer than magnetic ones.</div>nata.lokohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14552229582003120426noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749010831837708399.post-24818936454614452352009-12-08T19:53:00.003+00:002009-12-08T21:10:09.552+00:00Invitaciones [fonYou & GoogleWave]Llevo unos meses probando <b><a href="http://www.fonyou.com/">fonYou</a></b> y la verdad es que pinta bastante bien, parecido a Google Voice pero en español y funcionando aquí :P<br />
<br />
A diferencia del resto de operadores, estos no te dan una tarjeta SIM, sólo tienes un número del cual gestionas todo por internet (tampoco puedes hacer portabilidades).<br />
A través de su web puedes hacer auténticas virguerías: desviar unas llamadas a un número, otras a otro y los mensajes que te lleguen a un tercero. Que te avisen por e-mail cada vez que te llegue un mensaje, tener un contestador diferente para cada contacto, rechazar automáticamente llamadas ocultas, llamar a fijos y móviles internacionales a precios de móvil nacional... tanto utilizando el número nuevo que te dan, como el tuyo de toda la vida (lo desvías y riau, eso sí tu operador te cobrará por ese desvío, jeje); yo no le estoy sacando todo el provecho que podría al estar aquí en Escocia, pero pinta muy muy bien, a ver si cuando llegue Google Voice a España ya se han asentado bien, porque si no, se los comerán con patatas (como en todo en lo que se mete Google).<br />
<br />
Bueno, a lo que voy, el otro día me dieron 5 invitaciones (sí, un poco escasas, ¿no?) y después de pensar y repartir a la gente que he creído que le puede interesar me queda <b>una</b>, así que si te gustaría ser uno de los privilegiados y la vas a intentar aprovechar (no vale coleccionistas) déjame un comentario o mándame un e-mail. Muy importante que sea <u>antes del 15 de Diciembre</u>, los chicos de fonYou han prometido que quien se registre antes de esa fecha tendrá el servicio <b>gratuito</b> para siempre, con ciertas limitaciones de minutos, por supuesto, no vas a pegarte 5 horas al día hablando con tu primo de Albuquerque (el de USA, no el de Badajoz).<br />
<br />
Más invitaciones: tengo un porrón de invitaciones para la cosa esta del <b><a href="http://wave.google.com/">GoogleWave</a></b> (bueno, ahora menos porque me he puesto a repartir a diestro y siniestro), si quieres una, lo mismo: comentario o e-mail, en esta no hace falta que la vayas a aprovechar, tengo de sobra y sé que irán repartiendo más.<br />
<br />
EDIT:<br />
Edito el post porque me acabo de acordar de que también tengo 8 invitaciones para <b><a href="http://www.spotify.com/">Spotify</a></b>.<br />

I have had to do some shopping in a supermarket and with my invoice, the girl gave me like a small green plastic coin; I didn't know what was that until I have seen three big boxes before the exit: each box is a charity project and you have yo choose what they are gonna do with your part... I would like to have this kind of things in Spain :(<br />
<br />
I'm definitely on my way to become a grandma, last week I cooked a delicious Spanish omelette, yesterday a warm homemade soup, and today some peculiar croquettes (I haven't been able to find proper ingredients, but still really good). Now I only need to "obtain" some grandchildren... does anyone know if I can download them from some webpage? (not sure that I will ever have them through standard procedures).<br />
