How To Perform The Jock Lock

Via Fallen

There is a road passing through Reggio Emilia is called "Via Fallen in Nasiriyah."
I was surprised that his written straight out of a roundabout. A wound so recent and already have the fear that it might be forgotten.
imprints, monuments, museums are made to remember, even when the facts do not we have seen with our eyes, when we have not experienced firsthand, but we were told later on TV. So, those who died in Nasiriyah we knew the first thing that fell, and immediately became heroes because they fought for freedom and democracy of others, a noble gesture, really. They have become heroes (that label that gives journalism and love to the audience) before they knew anything of their lives. Then, to bring out the patriotism in all of us have begun to tell their stories, all moving and exemplary. Yes, it is always the best that they leave. And others who do?
Sometimes it happens that those who are too go to war, which instead of being killed murder, and to be remembered that movie. Maybe I'm too proud of those pictures, you have done that "bastard", that hurt, wriggled like a frightened puppy. How sweet, eh?
But the end, after almost an act of generosity. It 's so that should the war, even when they call a peace mission, it's my turn today, you tomorrow. Do not look at anybody and you do what you were left at home or at the most all'areoporto company to make a mother in tears. So she will forgive you.
If you die a hero for everyone, if you kill are the rules of the game, if you are a wounded pride. It tells the version of events that will give more glory to hide yourself that that pride is nothing but the transfiguration of cowardice.
Unless there are pictures of a half. Unless a movie can not remember all the brutality and cruelty of war that we are offered continuously through the filter flu, and you're not actually better than the others. Then there is hard to convince people that has a heart.
In the end, you saved my life, that you better another, but this time, and maybe you know it, you're not a hero.

Removal Of Cervical Polyp

I want the names of Nasiriyah

E 'yesterday's news that some companies use eggs deteriorated in the preparation of food.

Why are not made the names of companies and establishments involved? Are there any suspects, arrests have been made. The persons responsible will be tried, but meanwhile the rights of consumers where they are? This investigation lasted two years. It means that for at least two years foods were introduced on the market deteriorated. I want to know if I habitually consumed those products.

Here we are talking of eggs, which probably were used to produce many types of finished foods: pastries, cakes, biscuits, snacks, pasta, ravioli and tortellini, cappelletti, various creams.

NAS I have made arrests and seizures in companies in 13 provinces in seven regions: Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Umbria, Marche, Lombardia, Piemonte and Veneto. The defendants are businessmen and representatives of the sector. Were seized more than 30 million eggs, 60 tons of egg finished and ready for use, 2500 tons of animal eggs deteriorated.

Only a few days ago there was talk of preserved milk in Tetra Pak containers and contaminated with ITX. It is not yet clear whether this substance can be harmful in the doses that were found in food, but the news is not reassuring at all, despite the attempts of someone to resize the fact. Who knows how many similar cases exist and are not known.

For those responsible for incidents of this kind, who have volunteered in a health risk to consumers for personal gain, I would suggest to prison over the obligation of eating adulterated food that they themselves have placed on the market.

EDIT: I added a photo taken by past service on television. Yes, the ones you see are worms ...

From an online article: The same
Officers added: Cosi'''eggs and larvae, worms, fungi, parasites, and in already' formed fetuses of chicks ended up in the food industry, unaware of the quality 'dell'ovoprodotto they buy.
All'ovoprodotto we arrived after the eggs were centrifuged, a method prohibited because even the shells ended up in the resulting product with hygiene problems.''

From another site:
For the mash had the right pH, was treated with chlorine, then pasteurized. However, a procedure which leads to the formation of substances (such as histamine, cadaverine and putrescine) very harmful to human health.

What Kind Of Crisco On Skin

[outages] Trenitalia

Public the mail that I sent today to Trenitalia. Do you too by this page.

Dearest Trenitalia amaze me more every day!
am a university student, who gives a fuck every day for a trip to Reggio Emilia - Bologna train because he believes that the car is obsolete. I do this now for 5 years, a monthly subscription regional and interregional.
I love the train, I find half ecological, can socialize with people, it's relaxing, it allows you to choose whether to sleep or read.
However, Trenitalia, I am really disgusted by your service. Every day is getting worse. Want a list of hardships that we create? Here it is:
  • when the trains slow down the smell of ferrodo infests the coaches, forcing passengers to hold their noses as the ferrodo is not only disgusting, but it's also bad for your health. And it is not pinched, as claimed by the controllers. Trenitalia, we are safe when these trains slow down? Or should I worry?
  • trains are amazingly late, ever! Trenitalia, people who use the trains in the morning and late evening are commuters, we are sure that you pay a subscription each month. There are trains that are delayed and chronic systematic order of 10 minutes. And you know why? Why do you think the times so well that these trains are systematically inter-stop for IC and ES. Let us pleasure, the latest official times, put them into account those damn 10 minutes.
  • trains are dirty, smelly, sometimes the smell of urine is so strong that no longer feels in a carriage. Trenitalia, wash the trains, do not just wipe out cards and maps, cow down with water and disinfectant!
  • Trenitalia, if it arrives at the Bologna Motor Show, it increases the trains to Bolgna. But it's not like you did in the holidays (read this link ), increase it on weekdays when commuters travel, your loyal customers!
  • Trenitalia, the morning (of 8:47 train from Reggio Emilia IR) controllers never go, and things I would ask them a lot.
  • Trenitalia, commuters do not give a damn if you do not have enough inspectors to keep open the carriages, commuters want to sit! What is the difference between a controller is missing and one that never goes out?
Trenitalia, are not so foolish as to believe that this serves to mail something. There is no point because you're basically incompetent that you live in a monopoly situation, just as do so many (too many) Italian companies that offer services.
Trenitalia trains are the means the future (although coming from a past much more remote than where the car was invented).
The Italian State and its citizens should take back what they deserve: an efficient service!

should meet, according to what they say in the card services, you say you will do so?

EDIT - 01/01/2006
Of course I responded! In return, however, I received the results of the statistical survey done by a friend for an exam at the university. Here's the link questionnaire and results . The numbers speak for themselves: the service provided by a monopoly! Thanks to Ely and colleagues for your contribution to the cause.

What Is Sofa Repair Tape

Warlords

Last night we showed Lord of War. I do not know how to define this film. I liked it, that's for sure. But first things first. Looking for the image for this post I discovered that the film supports the Control Arms campaign . Hear what he said to the director Andrew Niccol Amnesty :
If you think it's easy to make a film about the arms trade, you are wrong. My new film, Lord of War, was rejected by all the major studios in Hollywood. In the end, the film has received funding independent and it was possible to finish it just because the cast - Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Bridget Maynahan, Ian Holm and Eamonn Walker - have accepted a reduction in their remuneration.
I have no words. However, the film recommend it: it lasts more than 2 hours but I assure you that pass, the rhythm is insistent and beautiful scenes. The plot is linearissima, do not expect surprises.
It is certainly not the kind of movie that when you see it you feel so full of feelings and ideals to want to change the world instantly. From this point of view is rather tepid, and perhaps rightly so, in fact, the arms dealers have no qualms nor repent. It seemed a bit 'surface to distribute the pills of wisdom every now and then with phrases: the dialogue between Yuri and Interpol agent (the latter spoken as a pacifist) seem to put there just to remind you what is right and what is wrong, too simplistic. I was surprised about the astronomical figure out the amount of weapons from Ukraine at the end of the Cold War: $ 32 billion! Weapons sold mainly in developing countries, African countries in the first place.
short, it is good that finally is out of a movie on the subject. Let us remember that behind these vendors are dead Western countries, that with a hand fan with the war and condemn the other.

Eugenol For Toothache

[Web Friends] Pino La Monica

I added the section Friends Web because I hope to maintain a list of similar bloggers.
The honor to open this section has had the Blog of his Beppe (Pino La Monica). Beppe Saturday night told me of CCR (children's town council) to which it collaborates for the Municipalities of Reggio Emilia and Quattro Castella. I could not describe better than the JRC JRC link Reggio Emilia .
The initiative has really fascinated me and given back a bit 'of hope: this country lacks a sense of civic duty and participation in the political life of the children helps to sensitize the younger generation to the country's problems.
always talking to Beppe I discovered that you are looking for a long time to break away from both Telecom by Enel. The detachment is the first completely eliminating the phone line to make room for the single data line and making a contract with another company to have ADSL and VOIP. Enel to come off you have to buy the solar panels and back in a certain range of KW, and more are certainly things that he can explain it better on his blog when he has completed the transition.
Well ... Beppe bravo! Also we will try to do our part.

Dog Papillomas Do They Fall Off



All quotations are from Chapter 8 "Do not take anything by force, God be praised" the book by Howard Zinn, "History of the American people from 1492 to today," Basic Books, 2005


In 1821, when Mexico gained independence from Spain with a revolutionary war, its territory was very extensive and included Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California and part of Colorado. In 1836, Texas broke off from Mexico to become "the Lone Star Republic. The U.S. found that its annexation, as well as that of California were absolutely necessary for the expansion of their power. Here's the best solution was the war. So provocation sent troops across the border between Mexico and Texas, more than the Nueces River up to the Rio Grande literally invading the territory of Mexico. Death of an American general along the river was attributed to the violence of the Mexican people and was used as evidence of ' aggression by Mexico against the United States. "Let therefore the great measure of annexation, and resolved it with the issues of boundaries and claims. Who can stop the stream that will flow to the west? We will open the way for California. Who will stop the advance of our Western people? " "Mexico has passed the U.S. border, has invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil." Washington then decided to punish the enemy, even the population was in favor of the attack, so that there were demonstrations in the street in favor of the war. The American poet Walt Whitman wrote: "Yes, Mexico must be punished to the fullest! We carry our weapons with a spirit that teaches the world that America, even if it does not seek conflict, is able to crush his enemies and to expand! "
Another quote of the book says: "This aggression was accompanied by the idea that the U.S. would lead to new populations of the gifts freedom and democracy . Came into play the ideas of racial superiority , slabs aroused by the beautiful lands of New Mexico and California, initiatives and commercial projects over the Pacific "
" We believe that civilization of that country (Mexico) is part of our destiny .
Against War were the abolitionists, who saw in it only a dismal attempt to expand slavery and make high profits.
writer Henry David Thoreau wrote in 1846:

"The important thing is to cultivate respect for the law, but of justice. Law never made men more righteous, and respect, the more willing they become instruments of injustice every day. A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is that you can see a row of soldiers marching in admirable order for the hills and valleys towards the war, against their will, even against their common sense and consciences, which makes driving very hard, and you squeeze the heart. "

On January 21, 1848 Frederick Douglass (former slave) wrote in his newspaper the North Star:
" No politician some weight and prestige seems willing to stand up for peace at any cost, and all seem to willingly accept that the war will continue, in one form or another. "

The May 12, 1846 Horace Greeley wrote in the New York Tribune:
"We can easily defeat the armies of Mexico, slaughter them by the thousands. Those who believe that a handful of victories over Mexico and the 'annexation "of half of its provinces will give us greater freedom, morality purer, more prosperous industry than we have now? Life is not miserable enough, death is not soon enough, without resorting to the horrible devices of war?

And from the soldiers? "An American infantry lieutenant told in a letter to parents what had happened after the death of an officer in battle:
" General Lane told us to avenge the death of the gallant Walker. Broke first in the shops of liquor and then made mad by alcohol, committed every kind of insult. Older women and young girls were stripped of clothing and many injuries suffered even more. The men were shot to tens, their property, their churches, stores and homes looted. For the first time I was ashamed of my country. "

Mexico was defeated. The border with Texas was moved to the Rio Grande. New Mexico and California were annexed to the United States. America gave him in exchange for fifteen million dollars, a newspaper wrote about it: "We do not take anything by force. God be praised. "


I wonder what has changed from 1800 to the present day. I wonder if we should still impress, or simply the desire to go to war can not be eradicated, even if it is a cultural factor. I really do not explain how, despite the time passes, the reasoning remains the same, and the world to go the same way.

My Teeth Need Fixing Crowded Teeth

The World Today, as yesterday ended

I think this image makes it a good idea of \u200b\u200bwhat I mean by finite world in which that resources are limited and should not / can be exploited forever. I recommend anyone who read the November issue of The Sciences. It 's all focused on the problems of poverty, resources and sustainable economy.
A friend who studied economics and business one day told me that he believes that now is the only possible form of economy and that otherwise it could not go in practice. Needless to say, the more time passes and more and more I am convinced to the contrary. Indeed, I am increasingly confident that we know this is certainly an economic model to be abandoned. If our planet is a closed system (except for the exchange of energy with the sun is), governments should explain why they continue to advocate the growth of production if the increase in production is equivalent to increased waste and pollution ( second law of thermodynamics). The world is finished, there is a roof, industrial production can not and should not in any way to measure our wealth.
The only wise choice to look with hope to the future is pointing to the reduction of environmental damage.

Sample Of Character Letter In The Community

ideas for a new form of democracy

This is basically my first real post. We say that the blog starts now, in this latest day of rage after finding - even a fly - the ease with which the media avoid the topic "white phosphorous". And then ...
What distinguishes a democracy? When do you can say that there is Democracy?
If we listen to the current television program "In Depth" is easy to hear politicians define a democratic country where there are free elections, as if elections were the strongest characterization of Democracy. Of course, to have free elections is something, is a major step forward compared to the dictatorship that should not be underestimated. But not enough for me ...
For there to be true Democracy must be there at these elements:
  1. free and independent: you must have a guarantee that neither the government nor anyone else can control the ability of citizens to share information and communicate (as claimed by Ian Clarke, founder of Freenet) ;
  2. possibility of access to political life for everyone, as long as the political career is bound by the hierarchies of the parties will never be a true replacement of parliamentarians.
  3. funding to only public and not private parties, so that individuals may indirectly affect the choices of a government at the expense of citizens;
  4. equal funding to all parties and coalitions, so that they are proposals to make the election campaign, not the emphasis of the posters.
Certainly it is still an incomplete list, I'll try to expand it if possible.

What's The Bmi For A Model?

A splash of red lambrusco

are not skilled in making beautiful presentations, but I'll try.
Lambrusco is a blog born almost by accident after a night of indigestion after too much pizza and too much wine. How will notice some cheese, Lambrusco is the translation of dialect "lambrusco", the farmer's most famous wine of Reggio Emilia (in fact someone would look when you write "lambrosc" but to me with a "u" sounds better). It 's a wine sharp and decisive, and that homemade is so red that stains indelibly.
In fact, this blog has nothing to do with wine or food.
What is it? Italy in general through the eyes of university students who want to have to report when things do not go and propose constructive solutions.
And the analogy with lambrusco? It is not just an excuse ...
