Mujeres y hombres y viceversa Viernes 02/12/11 Programa 872 "Volver a la vieja Ferchu. besos, besos y más besos" ya con Hollie


No pude ver el programa de hoy (debido al mal tiempo y no hay señal) , pero voy a publicar los videos
Mujeres y hombres y viceversa Lunes 05/12/11 Programa 873

José Luis y Yasmina (02/12/11)Primera y última cita. Bueno, yo he dicho que si yo era o José Luis o Ferchu no me gustaría que esta señora como pretendienta con todas sus habladurías sobre Carolina por lo que duró apenas una cita (aunque no se ve debido al mal tiempo (lluvia) la señal de parar llegar a Villanueva del Rosario)
Yasmín consigue conocer a José Luis. Se conocieron en un bolo
José Luis y las chicas de los bolos. Nadia no entiende la actitud de su tronista y se lo dice
Adelanto de las citas de José Luis. Besos, un jacuzzi..
La madre de Marina, en plató. Defiende a su hija de las críticas. Por lo que he visto hasta la fecha me encuentro ninguna razón para que nadie para criticar a Marina.
La madre de Marina cree que su hija y José Luis hacen buena pareja. Advierte a José Luis que le "dará un tirón de orejas" Creo que la madre de Marina es correcta y diría que sigue los pasos de Ferchus y dar a los actuales pretendientas un candado.
Marina habla en "El Reservado" Defiende su actitud "pasiva" Me las arreglé para ver esta escena, y creo que todo lo que Marina dijo que era muy sincero y ahora José Luis debe estar bien consciente de su carácter. Creo que su principal rival Nadia apreciar lo que dijo Marina (echen un vistazo a la cara de la comprensión de la inserción del video)
Nadia "se confiesa" Habla del beso de Marina y José Luis. Nadia parecía estar más segura de sí misma hoy y peronally pensar que José Luis, tarde o temprano tiene que elegir entre ella o Marina.
Ferchu y Laura (02/12/11) Segunda cita
Cita Ferchu y Fanny (02/12/11). Fanny ya no es la favorita
Fanny no ha acudido a plató. Ha abandonado sin despedirse
Las pretendientas de Ferchu no pueden más. El tronista cambia de favorita cada día. Uno realmente tiene que pedir una vez más, es que realmente en busca de su media naranja o simplemente en el amor con la cámara.
Ferchu agradece el apoyo recibido. Suena a despedida. y todas estas escenas? Lo que un vendedor se llama un "campo de la simpatía"
Vicente y Virginia critican la actitud de Ferchu. Le recomiendan que "se vaya solo en la final" ¿Han visto el verdadero Ferchu?
Carolina desvela las desventajas de ser "la favorita". No quiere estar en boca de todo el mundo.
Ferchu y Hollie. Avance de la cita. Volver a la vieja Ferchu. besos, besos y más besos.

The company had previously filed in July to raise up to $1 billion. The lowered IPO might be because of internet companies like Groupon (NASDQ:GRPN) and Pandora (NYSE:P) sinking following their debuts.

US Stocks Open Higher As Jobs Data

Uploaded by on Dec 2, 2011
U.S. stocks opened higher after the U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped, adding to encouraging headlines suggesting European leaders and central bankers were more willing to tackle the region's debt woes, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 77 points, or 0.6%, to 12100. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock-index rose nine points, or 0.7%, to 1254, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 19 points, or 0.7%, to 2645.

U.S. Unemployment Dropped 0.4% According to the Labor Department

Uploaded by on Dec 2, 2011
The U.S. economy created 120,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 8.6%, its lowest level in more than two and a half years, the Labor Department said Friday.

The reduction in the jobless rate, which stood at 9.0% in October, stemmed in large part from a decline in the size of the labor force. Some 315,000 people stopped looking for jobs last month, according to Market Watch.

However, the decline in the labor force is contradicted by other evidence showing that companies continue to add workers at a modest pace.The economy has gained an average of 131,000 jobs over the past year, or an even higher 143,000 in the past three months. The employment figures are drawn from a survey of several hundred thousand business establishments

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Work is especially enjoyable, when you’re given a challenging assignment that has you firing on all cylinders. Be sure to stay alert and efficient at all times, for you never know how or when people are assessing your efforts. You may have to give ground to a colleague who has more experience, but that’s only fair. By following their instructions to the letter, you’ll put yourself in line for a promotion. An overseas trip for business or pleasure is on the horizon.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) This will prove to be one of the most intriguing weeks on record. When someone special offers you a wonderful invitation it feels great to be recognised for your tremendous talents, but you’ll also need to feel appreciated for your ideas and intellect if this relationship is to prosper. A new business opportunity could soon follow, or maybe you’ll be given a promotion or take on a new role that will help boost your financial position and your status.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) A generous loan helps you buy a home or put a down payment on a car. It feels great to have an added measure of independence. If you have a little extra cash on hand, take this opportunity to help a struggling relative. It gives you tremendous pleasure to provide practical support for your loved ones. A difference of opinion between your lover and family will cause momentary stress. Be ready to defend your amour, or you’ll set a dangerous precedent.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You may have to take dominant role in a relationship that needs someone to be a driving force and take the initiative. This will be particularly important when muddles and misunderstandings threaten to throw a spanner in your Christmas works. You need to lay down some firm guidelines and boundaries so all concerned know exactly what’s expected from them and what will happen if they don’t live up to expectations. Watch out for a larger than expected bill or expense.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) More money becomes available for luxuries, thanks to a lucrative work assignment or Christmas bonus. This influx of income helps you extend your festive plans, but even so you shouldn’t let yourself get carried away and spend more than is wise in these times. Be sure to obey your conscience with an ethical matter, or a child will lose respect for you. If you take the high road, so will your young friend when faced with similar dilemmas in the future.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You’re at the centre of a lot of attention right now. People will be hoping to add you to their party invitation list and will be looking for hints for gifts and presents. On a more formal level there may be an opportunity to boost your career prospects by showing initiative and taking an independent line. Later in the week you may be surprised by a romantic overture from someone you had not seen in that light until now. How will you react? Probably just try to ignore it!
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Trust your instincts when it comes to a creative project that is close to your heart. You were born with lots of artistic ability, but haven’t had much chance to put it to any productive purpose. Now the tide is turning in your favour. Take time out of your busy schedule to paint, write, or perform. You don’t need to justify your behaviour to a nosy neighbour or sibling. They are jealous of your gifts. Any undermining remarks just show how they’re eaten up with envy.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) This may be the season of goodwill to all people, but that doesn’t extend to throwing good money after bad if a pal comes asking for a second loan when they haven’t finished paying you back an earlier one.  On the other hand you are happy to do favours for friends and family who are having a hard time and who just need a little support from you along the way. If you haven’t start making your festive plans, you had better start now. Time is running out.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) An impressive job or promotion is yours for the asking. Be sure to emphasise your flexibility when throwing your name in the hat. Your would be employer is looking for someone who will handle any emergencies while they’re attending to larger responsibilities. By presenting yourself as a worker who is willing to do whatever it takes to support the organisation, you’ll be the winner. Don’t let a demanding authority figure ruffle your feathers. They are just testing your mettle. 
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A wonderful chance to travel for pleasure is looking likely. Have your passport ready and your bags packed. Don’t worry about leaving responsibilities behind. A good friend will keep an eye on your pets and plants while you’re away and colleagues will handle your workload. Don’t be upset if you’re confronted with strange customs or practices. By maintaining an open mind, you’ll learn how others live and expect you to behave. Look at this trip as an opportunity for personal growth.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) An intense physical encounter makes you realise just how much you’ve suppressed your passion packed nature. Too often, you rely on your wits to get you through life. If you trust your body just a little more, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. An accomplished friend will introduce you to a new writer, musician, or painter. Immersing yourself in their work and enjoying their talent will inspire your own creativity. Turn a deaf ear to a critic who thinks your efforts aren’t up to scratch.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A loving partnership gives you the courage to pursue your dreams. Whether you want to move house, take up a new hobby, or go back to school, the time is right. Let a friend or partner assume some of your responsibilities so you can focus on your goals. Your boss may not be thrilled with your plans, but don’t let their disapproval change your plans. The truth is, you are long overdue for a change, and don’t need anyone’s approval to make it happen.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Champion a cause that's dear to your heart. You're tired of devoting your entire life to work and pleasure. Giving time, money, and resources to a charitable institution will make you feel connected to the outside world. It will also give you newfound appreciation for what you have. You'll also appreciate working for a place that is grateful for your help. Too often, we are taken for granted in our jobs. That rarely happens when you're working for a philanthropic organisation.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You're set in your ways, which makes it difficult to work with a group. Instead of insisting on using a certain methodology, be flexible. You'll learn at least one valuable skill. If it becomes evident that the current arrangement isn't working, you can swoop in and save the day. Don't be surprised when you're put in charge of the team's resources. You have a knack for finding bargains and getting tremendous returns on your investments.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You make a great impression on everyone you meet. Be careful about stealing the spotlight from your best friend or lover. It's hard to compete with someone as magnetic as you. By drawing attention to your partner's accomplishments, you'll win their everlasting devotion. Are you thinking of making a career move? You'll have to persuade a loved one this is the best path for you. Your desire for variety is in direct opposition to their yearning for security.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Do something entirely out of character, if only to cause a commotion. Following the rules without question isn't healthy. Find an outlet for your rebellious side. If that means taking up an unusual hobby or sport, so be it. Have you been lonely? This is a good time to adopt a pet. A nurturing person like you can only benefit from caring for an animal. Visit your local shelter so you can rescue a creature that really needs a good home.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Passion characterises everything you do. If you've developed a crush on someone, it may be impossible to hide your feelings any longer. Confess your desires, either to the object of your affection or to your diary. If you're already in a committed relationship, focus your energy on your partner. Revert to the courtship phase of your union. Candlelit dinners, tender gestures, and sentimental gifts will cultivate the excitement that first drew you together.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You want help, but it's hard to ask for it. Don't let your pride get in the way of being vulnerable to a relative, colleague, or romantic partner. Even a capable person like you gets overwhelmed. This would be a good time to hire someone to clean your house. It may seem like a wild extravagance, but you'll be so glad of the free time such an arrangement affords. Besides, you'll be giving someone a job, and that's always good in this economy.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Avoid a tendency to overanalyse things. Ultimately, you can't know what the future will bring, so why obsess over it? Keep an open mind, especially where intellectual pursuits are concerned. Someone will recommend a book or movie that proves uplifting. This material might even inspire you to return to a creative pursuit you loved as a child. A smart person like you can't be happy doing the same thing day after day. You've got to have an outlet for your imagination.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Selling your creative work fills you with pride. It feels great to know people are willing to pay good money for your handiwork. You might want to sell your crafts on a website, so you can attract a huge customer base. There's no reason your work should be relegated to some obscure corner of a shop when it can be enjoyed by the world. If you need more money, find a way to make money doing something you love.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You have to put on a show of bravery, even if you're het up and nervy. When you exude confidence, people will follow your lead. You may not realise it, but your words carry a great deal of weight, especially with your family. A relative who is worried about the future is depending on you for strength. If you have to go out and get work, take some time to rearrange your household. Delegate chores to others, even children. Work builds character.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) It's difficult to make a decision with so many options available. You're tempted to follow the path yielding the greatest pay. Ultimately you should choose the path that offers the most intellectual stimulation. Too much predictability is a waste of your talent. Taking a class, writing a story, or studying a subject will fuel your enthusiasm and give you a sexy glow. A love affair could take flower; keep it secret in the early stages, so it has time to grow.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're extremely popular, because you make everybody feel valued and special. This isn't an act. You have the rare ability to find worth in everyone you meet, no matter how talented or dull. By championing each person's strengths, you build confidence and cultivate excellence. Don't be surprised when you're asked to take the helm of a large organisation. Only accept this position if you get a handsome salary. You deserve to be paid well for such a high profile position.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A drive to succeed prompts you to go above and beyond the call of duty. The powers that be are glad you're at the helm of their organisation, because they know you'll never neglect your duties. If you're called in to handle an emergency, do it with energy and enthusiasm. Then, when word spreads of your efficiency, you can demand a promotion. It will be impossible to argue with your logic; the most valued member of the team should hold an important title.

In the 17th century tea was delivered to Russia from the territory of West Mongolia and it was used as medicine among the nobility. Tea was a competitor of 'sbiten', the most favourite drink in Russia back then. Its components were: hot water, medicinal herbs and honey. In the 18th century in the Urals and Tula samovar-kitchens were invented. They were divided into three parts - two of them devoted to meals cooking, and the third one wholly devoted to tea-making. Sbitennik and samovar-kitchen were samovar prototypes. There were different ways of manufacturing the first samovars. Samovars were produced in the Urals, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Tula; and later in Vladimirskaya, Yaroslavskaya and Vyatskaya provinces. The first samovar factory was founded in Tula by Nasar Usitsin in 1778. This town of gunsmiths became famous throughout the world as the center of samovar manufacture. Tula had everything that was needed for such industry: rich ore mines, highly qualified masters skilled in working metals and location (Tula is situated only 200 kilometres south of Moscow). Samovar manufacture soon became to be very profitable. Handicraftsmen were quickly turning into manufacturers; workshops were transformed into samovar manufactures. In 1826 there were only eight samovar factories, whereas in 1896 there were already seventy. Samovars were made out of cupronickel, red and green copper, pinchbeck, and in special cases - out of silver. Some samovars were plated with gold or silver, but brass was always the basic metal. In the course of the centuries samovar shapes changed. By the end of the 19th century the number of samovar types reached 165. Yet, it was almost impossible to fully mechanize the samovars manufacture. Tools used for samovar making were not changing and by hand assembly allowed for only five-six samovars to be produced per day. The highest peak of samovar manufacture in Tula was reached in the 80s of the 19th century. Samovar was not only a feature of home comfort, the symbol of Russian hospitality, but also a kind of a mascot. Among articles of folk domestic art samovars occupy a special place. They are often viewed not only as domestic utensils, but also as real works of applied arts. Each true samovar master always wanted to astonish his customers by his creativity. Conservative design and durability in combination with decorative qualities draw interest to samovars of the people all over the world. Tula samovars were represented at many exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Manufacturers taking part at the exhibitions were constantly awarded with medals, the reprints of which often appeared on their samovars after that. Tula samovars were spread all over Russia. At the fairs one could find samovars of very different shapes: vase-shaped, pear-shaped, wine-glass-shaped, etc. Prices reduction in the process of manufacture caused standardization of samovar shapes. The so-called cylindrical samovars became widely spread. Originally Tula produced coal samovars (the water in them was heated up by charcoal), kerosene samovars and combined variants, the water in which could be heated up by any kind of fuel. Prices were set in direct dependence with shape, material and dimension of a samovar. Simple samovars were sold in bulk. Articles of complicated shapes (presents, samovars made to order) were sold by the piece. During the whole of the 19th century portable samovars were produced in Tula. As a rule, they were multi-sided, cubic and right-angled. Over the two hundred years, production technology improved considerably. Now presses and conveyor lines are widely employed. Casting under pressure is also widespread. At 'Shtamp' plant nickel-plating automatic line was introduced. Samovars here are decorated by art rolling. The plant produces samovars of different types: coal (of six versions) and - from 1956 - electrical (volume 2-3 litres; for buffets), combined and painted. Folk traditions keep on existing and developing. Gorgeous samovars - authentic works of art - are still produced in Russia. Samovars are still awarded with prizes and medals at national and international exhibitions.
