Presunciones

Presumir es algo inherente al ser humano. Tanto juzgar o conjeturar algo (primera acepción de la Academia) como vanagloriarse, o cuidar mucho una persona su arreglo para parecer atractiva (segunda y tercera acepciones, respectivamente).
Indudablemente, la más trascendente es la primera, tanto por lo que significa el hecho de que constantemente estemos suponiendo cosas (actitud muy conveniente para el investigador, ya que las hipótesis no dejan de ser presunciones, pero peligrosa para las relaciones humanas: es tan fácil dejarse llevar por lo que se supone...) como por las presunciones legales, concretamente la presunción de inocencia. No hay nada más importante para la salvaguarda de nuestro derecho a la libertad, pero parece que en la actualidad se puede presumir de muchas cosas, salvo de inocencia.
Porque todos los detenidos son presuntos culpables de algo. ¿No sería más adecuado decir que se había detenido al presunto inocente de un delito? Claro que eso de detener a un inocente, aunque sea presunto, queda feo. Pero eso es lo que se hace, ¿no? Ya sé, lo que hay que decir es que se ha detenido al presunto inocente sospechoso de la comisión de un delito. Algo farragoso pero mucho más preciso, dónde va a parar.
Una presunción que siempre me ha gustado, por la candidez que demuestra, es la del valor. A los que hemos hecho la mili nos dieron, al finalizar, la llamada cartilla militar, un documento en el que se reflejaban tus cualidades como soldado. En un apartado figura lo siguiente: Valor, se le supone. Menos mal que no tuvimos que demostrarlo, porque barrunto (otra presunción, ya sé, pero bastante fundada) que, al primer disparo enemigo, la mayoría nos hubiéramos ido, tarareando entre dientes el Imagine de Lennon.
Pero una de las presunciones más fascinantes es la del jamón, contradictoria en sí misma. Id a un supermercado y acercaos a los refigerados. Veréis sobres con lonchas de jamón al vacío en los que, a un lado, está escrito Jamón Serrano; el letrero parece que no deja lugar a dudas: ese sobre contiene jamón serrano. Se puede presumir que es bueno si el aspecto lo confirma, las vetas son adecuadas, la marca es de confianza y, aunque no sea determinante, si es caro. Pero no cabe presumir nada más.
Entonces llevas la vista al otro lado del sobre y allí, en letras tan destacadas como las anteriores pone, sin reparo ni vergüenza, ¡Presunto Serrano! El conflicto se desata y la realidad parece desdibujarse, el pulso se acelera y todo parece dar vueltas. ¿Es serrano o sólo se presume? ¿Es que no puede uno fiarse ya de la letra impresa? Ese pensamiento te hace reflexionar y reparas en las innumerables veces que la letra impresa no ha sido de fiar. Respiras hondo, te estabilizas y, cuando te recuperas y miras de nuevo el sobre con resignada decepción, una información aflora a tu mente y sonríes.
Todo vuelve a encajar y a ajustarse cuando recuerdas que presunto es jamón en portugués.

Efectivamente, las cosas escritas (creedme, sé de buena tinta de lo que hablo)no son de fiar. Es una pena, porque al final es lo que permanece ya que, como sabiamente decían los romanos VERBA VOLANT SCRIPTA MANENT

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 500 running shoe, and, since it originally hails from the '80s, the gaming galvanized design and coloring is a no-brainer ... Right? The kicks may not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combination bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game primarily based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Everything about horse betting

We came across an article on ESPN.com written by Bill Finley entitled "2005 was a lousy year for horse racing." In his article Mr. Finley cites 9 reasons why 2005 was such a bad year for horse racing in America. Although we agree with several of his observations, number 8 on his list, "U.S. Pari-Mutuel Handle Falls", should have been dealt with more objectively.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on horses[/url]
In the United States, races can occur on flat surfaces of either dirt or grass, generally for thoroughbred racing. Other tracks offer quarter horse racing]] and harness racing. The best events in US horse racing have been Kentucky Derby, which, together with the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, form the Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, in recent years the Breeders' Cup races, held at the end of the year, have been challenging the Triple Crown events, held early in.


Another significant aspect is the shortness of time between races. Most stakes graded horses of today run with 30 to 60 days off between races, but Triple Crown contenders must run 3 grueling races within the span of 35 days. Notably Sir Barton, the first Triple Crown winner, won the Preakness only 4 days after winning the Kentucky Derby while today's challengers do have 14 days between the two races.

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing bets[/url]
Sweetnorthernsaint ridden by Kent Desormeaux was favored to win the Derby, but finished a disappointing seventh by 13 lengths. That though, after a bumped start and being steadied before finally tiring. With a lifetime 3 wins out of 7 starts, all 3 have come this year, and the shorter distance of the Preakness might be more to his liking.
