Fauna
Santa Claus has brought some strategy games, among many other things, and happened to comment and the only thing we had time to test for now, and almost certainly the easiest of all: Wildlife , Friedemann Friese, best known as the author of the Power Grid game ("High Voltage" in the English version.)

Tac Marker Instructions
In Animals are uncovered cards with animals, which comprises a ilustación, phylum name and the number of regions in which they live and players bet on one or more regions, and an approximate value of height or length, mass and tail length. The more closely approximates the real value will earn more points, the risk it will lose capacity much risk in successive tricks, and do not risk not get many points.
The games are very simple and take less than an hour.
is a great game for family game (2 to 6 players), and extremely educational, because it consists of memorizing facts, but in learning to estimate physical quantities real as the size or mass of an animal (it is not clear a priori if a coyote has the mass of 10 to 20 kg, or 20 to 50 kg .. [the answer is 11 to 22, so both Bets would be correct]), furthermore, the children will stay with the approximate area where you can find this animal.
A very healthy alternative to the consoles in which they massacred Vietnamese rewriting history, or pursue floating mushrooms and bananas, and cheaper too.
course is not advertised on the boob tube, and can be ordered, like most others I've mentioned before, in masqueoca (and no, I do not get any commission, but instead of revenue for the game itself going to Animals Animal Protection NGO) ...
Anything else? Yes, it is fully translated in English ...

Update
Very little time to publish these days, family health problems ...
Anyway, I do not know if I repeat myself, (I write this from the iphone as if it were one of those Japanese who write novels on mobile from the metro) there are book recommendations:
The brothel of the Gypsies, Mircea Eliade, not recommended. The ideas are very interesting, even precursors, but the narrative performance does not convince me it is as if the characters and the story did not contribute nothing, instead of generating the story ... And that their trials seemed really bright and inspiring when I read in college (the myth of eternal return, the sacred and the profane) ...
Hopes and realities, Noam Chomsky, cool, almost indispensable as a deconstruction of the origin of much of the current ills of the world where neoliberal policies and state terrorism of Reagan and Thatcher in the eighties. I strongly recommend reading it while the atlas of Le Monde Diplomatique, and the threats of the rule book, Chalmers Johnson, all highly recommended.
An evening of dogs, Hugh Laurie (actor House, is also a musician, I believe).
I love the cynicism that exudes first-person narrative of the quasi-anti-hero protagonist ... And quite often surprising history, extending the initial approach sounded like a very classic cut novel 'Black', which is very valid. While there I was hooked from the start like a bestseller ingenierizado by a battalion of experts to decide what we read is entertaining enough and recommended. Many Peipers
and several technical books I'm reading at the same time, nor let me read books on general ... Little more now.

Rabite Cages Bluepints
The bisector
are times curious ...
Air traffic controllers returned to assemble, in a bet that is not well understood, unless there is much below what we sense the mindundis ...
cross saved are heard, that if the government sells the house as he can to hide their bad management (...), no doubt that if the privatization of layoffs multiplied Aena (this is simplified to a level that neither the church Catholic, which is saying that if Cucumber ...), actually steal because they do this, if Aena that ...
The reality is that the partial privatization of the English airports should have been done for decades, as in the rest of the world because it is good for the country, although at first, especially if done in a time of rampant global financial crisis, the dismal failure of the neo-liberal measures (actually have not failed, what happens is that your goal was just to ruin everyone except the ultra-rich elites), it is easy to forget that you can be good, and not just a desperate measure to get cash to meet debt that we have imposed these other scumbags of IMF & World Bank, indirect creators of the "crisis "(with the complicity of such other professional thieves called Credit Rating Agency, that after forcing us to take measures to prevent the growth of our GDP for decades, we degrade the rating on the pretext that now we will not grow) ...
For what could be a good thing. Because public governments can not afford the huge public investments that airports need to grow as they should. And in this country we can not spend at airports, because they are what brings to tourism. The highways are private concessions / public for years, with a conceptual scheme as airports (the rest of Europe, to begin with, but almost everyone), and no one complains, no one would think to attribute the increase Stop the privatization of the highways ...
People often assume, abducted by the wave of criticism of the management of ZP, to privatize the airports of laying off all those who worked on it, and hand over responsibility to a consortium of private capitalist evil relegated to second place things such as security, civil, moral, etc.
should not be so, given that partial privatization of airports, the state retains a majority interest and control. The private portion will provide pasta, knowledge, and managing day to day, and naturally seek to recover their initial investment, such that the state had no "but to do so, must periodically demonstrate that it does well, and that it is the judge, who will private regularly has to pay a portion of what is charged, and the other has to recoup its investment. So does a public-private airport, and almost all of the world are.
However, what happens is that not enough people who knelt under the protection of the public has no excuse to continue charging without squatting, and in some cases at a loss for decades ... among this group are the drivers of the towers, which will no longer belong to a caste superior to all others, and will depend on each tower of the airport. That is just what you do not want to stop because they ran out of gravy. Cushy overtime charge four times the normal working well below the average, not lucky enough to have seen work, and passing by lining the safety of passengers (grouping many shifts in a row, which is strictly forbidden, and then not appear for weeks ...), not mention the U.S. economy (it is rumored that some even live in other countries, that in my village is called tax evasion ...) or the welfare of their compatriots.
And the bad part of the partial privatization of our airports (the good news is that, if done well, something unlikely in this country, like almost everything else, will give continuous losses) is that they involve the greatest scourge we have in this country regionalist breed: Those chupópteros that unnecessarily duplicate management structures. We are almost certainly the only saps who have legalized it has 9 guys to manage the same powers, if the national, regional that if that if the provincial, that if the municipal council that if that if the national supervisor in the municipal, etc. etc.
The introduction of "regional influence" at airports is neither more nor less than an extra layer of shit on a system not exactly efficient ...
However, at the time of this writing, seems to be confirmed that the army has taken control towers at airports ... And I'm glad, and more because the measure the president has taken a course on the left, to finally get something to work at the right time. One more for the world of 2010 and is in no way a ballet unipolar westphallianas national parliamentary democracies and Western ...
The most important this weekend is that ordinary people can travel, the people who have no idea what's going on behind you do not see what is being decided, that is sick of being blackmailed by miserable (I'm talking at once with a friend who could not fly, after saving for months for this bridge, it is also official, but of low caste, who are has lowered the wages to sack, and lack of capacity, and most importantly, the intention of blackmailing the country, and is absolutely desperate, and just want to fly or your money back very hard earned) and, rightly, does not understand why some guys who have committed a crime (Article 409 of the penal code, I think?) not only not fired, but that they should be imprisoned.
And after all that, we'll see what happens ... probably not anytime soon. It is easier said than implement a partial privatization of airports with international relevance like Madrid and Barcelona, \u200b\u200band there are too many players between racks ... Wikileaks
Hopefully we clarify something ...
