This is a fairly simple cake, it once again by gluttony Luca Montersino. So far I have published several of his sweet, a better and more delicate other. At some point, however, I wondered if these my publications could be a copyright issue for Luca Montersino. In fact, little by little, I'm posting everything from basic preparations, doses and advice, to desserts and more complicated. I sent him a message on Facebook, here is his reply "Dear Stephanie, if you put the link I have no problem, but do not overdo it ..... if I publish all the books and all the recipes you understand .... then maybe someone who avoids then buy ... " So, dear friends, as the sweet Montersino no shortage at my house, and I want to share with you my gluttony, I invite you to buy the his book, so at least I will have repaired the damage! You will not regret, just a few euro for the great desserts, and so far a disappointment!
the cake for me today was a big surprise: very simple (though very caloric) but delicate flavor. The Dacquoise is a soft biscuit used to fund portions of cakes, very moist for the presence of egg white and nuts. A sort of meringue with nuts.
For Dacquoise almond :
400 g egg whites 250 gr sugar 375 gr almonds
100 g rice flour 275 gr sugar
For the butter cream
250 gr sugar 75 gr water 12 gr glucose
yolks 140 gr 500 gr butter 1 / 2 vanilla bean
addition : 200 g almonds filleted sugar
Dacquoise Prepare: Whip the egg whites with 250 grams of sugar and then add the rice flour
mixed with the remaining sugar and ground almonds. put the mixture into the pastry bag to form on parchment paper 3 discs the same size. (I made 3 22x22 To use the square, then my painting of steel) Bake at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes
Prepare the butter cream: Pour the water into a saucepan with the sugar, glucose and cook until it reaches 121 degrees. Meanwhile, Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla. Pour in the egg yolks and sugar syrup monatre again until completely cool. Stir in the butter at room temperature in small flakes and continue to mount. When all the butter is incorporated, cover the cream with plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator.
Assemble the cake: Place the first disc Dacquoise the bottom of the steel framework, fillets stuffed with almonds and a layer of cream. Repeat two more times, ending with the cream. Remove the picture and smooth the edges with other cream, trying to level the cake. Sprinkle fillets with toasted almonds and a generous dusting of icing sugar. (My almonds were finished and I used a bit of pistachio the edges)
When, now more than twenty years ago, I decided to major in history of journalism with a thesis on "Le Monde" and the Algerian war and then began to study Arabic (studies unfortunately interrupted for reasons beyond my own will), it seemed bizarre to many, eccentricity, the result of a weird mind or at least the original - and the nuance of voice, it was clear that this was not exactly a compliment of -. Some insinuated that I did it because, at that time, I was in love with a Syrian.
Nothing new under the sun, fon do. While I was preparing my thesis, I had already encountered similar "analysis." Commenting on the large number of French women who supported the Algerian demands, observers (male) age annotated fact that Arab insurgents were often young, beautiful, Mediterranean: logical and predictable, therefore, that the feminine soul, of in itself irrational, romantic and impressionable, is ensnared by deep-set eyes and let old and married without delay - with "rush" - their cause. That women were capable of policy analysis and weighted point was not even taken into account. The woman does but love - understood, of course, in the worst meaning of blind passion .
was the France of fifty years ago. Italy thinks today. To me someone at the time of the thesis, I thought. In truth, I got acquainted with Arab-Islamic world during the early teens, after finding out about the school books in particular I wanted to better understand the Muslim religion, of which little was known (but now, if possible, even less, and haughty and arrogant ignorance, often beset by injury). But even if it were to strengthen the love and passion that my embryonic interest, well, I did not see why be ashamed of. Is a positive approach to the issue coolly not bookish, abstract and "impersonal." I never used to think the male : dividend that is much the sphere of emotions, considered unworthy by the rational and spiritual, noble, high, absolute. It was the end of the usual soul-body dualism, derived from Plato, is alien to Judaism, Christianity and the (original), and at the same
Islam. And the woman, of course. I have always rejected this separation, I thought was unnatural.
A side and top: aspects of the uprising in Tunisia. Below: Video dedicated to female resistance.
I continued to deal with these issues long after the love affair with the Syrian boy. In fact, I realized that the southern shores of the Mediterranean, so close to us, and in some cases, such as Tunisia, very close, we would have had to deal with soon, though no one could foresee the multiple, and often tragic, how which would take place this confrontation / clash. Not of civilization, as they said after the Huntington and their followers tired from our own, Oriana Fallaci and unlamented Marcello Pera, but to people who are much more complex - and, nel contempo, affascinanti.
Quel momento pare esser giunto. Ben più significativamente dell'11 settembre. Rivoluzione, indipendentemente da come procederanno gli eventi in Tunisia , Algeria , Yemen e soprattutto Egitto , lo è comunque già. Una tempesta, un terremoto, ecco: mentale, culturale, e quindi, per sua natura, sempre inatteso, perché l'essere umano è imprevedibile e ignoto anche a sé medesimo e ai suoi stessi progetti.
I paesi sopra menzionati hanno sono molto diversi tra loro: geograficamente, storicamente, socialmente. Ma l'immaginario municipality has crystallized the point of no return, a sort of year zero, in Mohammed Bouaziz , the Tunisian graduates and unemployed, in order to survive, had been reduced to make street vendor. Abusive, ça va sans dire . Mohammed, the young Dr. Mohammed cosmopolitan dreams, after yet another abuse of power no longer has cancer. The police had confiscated his cart with all his wares. Outlaws for the transgression of the law, Mohammed will now experiencing the absurd penalty. In him has created a short circuit. "Mom, I'm sorry, I can no more" , wrote in his last letter. Then he set himself on fire .
Mohammed has transformed his body fuse - literally - and triggered a flood unstoppable, during which Ben Ali, Tunisia's father-master, he fled with his family and with the silver, leaving the thugs to repress its people to beggars.
Other
, numerous, unnamed, in its various and populous cities of Africa and Asia, were slain as Mohammed. One thing seems to have in common: youth. And this immense pile of young lives, in places where ' average age is estimated at twenty-five years attests to the atrocities that we are not in the presence of a simple bread riots, as has been described in a hasty manner by some Western observers. While each uprising born of basic needs and concrete, from exasperation mangy, old injustices, it is equally true that, to become the revolution, is much more. Need awareness, serving culture. What is needed, in particular, the dream of one thing .
is currently the drama. But it is also, as we said, the revolution already. As far as we know - and even a lot from the official channels of information, as by bloggers and social network , vere "anime" del movimento sia in Tunisia sia in Egitto : non a caso, in quest'ultimo, il regime ha bloccato l'accesso a Internet - le parole d'ordine che maggiormente si odono nei cortei sono "democrazia, giustizia, libertà" . Pochi slogan islamisti, e (ancora) isolati. Il tentativo di provocare una reazione integralista si è già verificato, a Capodanno, col tragico assalto ai cristiani copti; ma il resto della popolazione non si è lasciata irretire dalla furia cieca dei fanatici. E i manifestanti attuali? "Non siamo di sinistra e nemmeno Fratelli musulmani: siamo soltant o giovani in cerca di libertà" , scandisce one of them, while the Nobel Prize for Peace El Baradei (right) raised: it is not mold riots qaidista: "We need a new constitution. The people have the right to peacefully change chiedre . A change that is from within, not from abroad '. And Khaled al-Khamissi , the most important contemporary Egyptian writers: "Mubarak has been the symbol of corruption, has betrayed the dreams of young Egyptians. His personal story is already over. The system, unfortunately, will continue for a little '. A bit '. Until ...
long as the "dream" mentioned many times will become finalmente realtà, ma realtà, a sua volta, fluida. Perché chi ha promesso la completa realizzazione dei sogni in terra, ha poi schiacciato gli occhi che permettevano agli stessi di fiorire. La democrazia consiste proprio in questa fluidità, in questo senso d'imperfezione che, però, sprona a migliorarsi. L'associazione umanista Mondo Senza Guerre e Senza Violenza , giorni fa, ha diramato un comunicato stampa nel quale, pur esprimendo fiducia nella società civile e salutando "con grande entusiasmo" la protesta, nella società civile, non ha nascosto la sua preoccupazione " per la cieca violenza repressiva scatenata dalle autorità e anche dalla possibilità che la rabbia dei manifestanti contribuisca una spirale di violenza inarrestabile, a danno del successo della protesta" . Il comunicato così conclude: "Chiediamo ai governi di questi paesi di dimettersi, di ripristinare la libertà d'espressione e di manifestazione e di lasciare spazio a una transizione nonviolenta che porti a una nuova tappa di libertà per uomini, donne, anziani e giovani" .
Poche righe, ma dense e importanti. Non è il caso d'abbandonarsi a facili entusiasmi, né di coltivare utopie sincretiste da salotto radical-chic, come accadde per esempio trent'anni fa, quando numerosi intellettuali progressisti, anche illustri (One of all, Michel Foucault ) eagerly greeted the advent of the revolution Khomeini in Iran, which was actually a clerical and violent reaction to a rotten and corrupt regime, and represented a rejection of a purely negative sign intolerable situation. Even today, casually ignoring the age-old enmity between Shiites and Sunnis, between Arab and non-Arabs - that led us not forget that in two bloody wars lasted ten years - Ahmadinejad gives an interpretation of all instrumental in the recent unrest: the mold "undoubtedly Islamic , according to him. It matters little if the Iranian regime is by definition freedom-and its first victims are young people, who constitute 90% of the population. Last Christmas, were hanged in the total silence of the international authorities, seven students, and earlier this month by the Executioner has set up 66 runs, decimating the ch and Europe was called the ' "Green Wave" and that was in a woman twenty-six, Neda Soltan Agha, his most popular symbol. The last sentence was carried out yesterday against another woman, Zahra Bahrami , accused of drug dealing and, above all, guilty of demonstrating against the regime. And a woman still, the lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh (left) , a colleague of Shirin Ebadi, was sentenced to eleven years imprisonment for his activities on behalf of human rights. "They wanted to punish her - said Ebadi - because he worked with me" .
Tunisia, Egypt and other countries are very different Iran. And the Arabs really deserve much more than 'either-or between fundamentalism and depraved satrapies. These days, pace of Ahmadinejad and Al Qaeda, anti-Western slogans if they have heard very little, indeed, the cry that has resonated in the streets was more marked in French: "Mubarak DEGAGE" , Mubarak vattene, esattamente come in Tunisia si è urlato: "Ben Ali dégage" . "E' sicuramente simbolico che gli slogan degli insorti siano stati pronunciati nella lingua della rivoluzione francese" , constata l'islamologo francese Gilles Kepel , forse con eccessiva enfasi, ma non certo in modo peregrino. Il fondamentalismo, prosegue Kepel, non è segno di potenza né di rinnovamento, ma di declino: "Queste società, invece, hanno dimostrato di voler rientrare a far parte della Storia universale , da cui sono state scansate dal dittatore di turno o dal jihad " .
Occorre superare, come già prediceva lo studioso libanese (cristiano) Edward Said in un fondamentale saggio, l'orientalismo da una parte, l'occidentalismo dall'altra. E' troppo presto per intravedere una rinascita, ma è sicuro che un mondo, e un paesaggio mentale, sono morti per sempre. Abbiamo visto tante donne sfidare la tirannide, ma sappiamo che, in caso di derive integraliste, le prime vittime saranno loro: per questo, molto saggiamente, il comunicato di Mondo Senza Guerre le ha esplicitamente menzionate come destinatarie di pace, progresso e libertà. Le apprensioni di Israele sono più che giustificate: l'Egitto di Mubarak era in verità l'Egitto di Sadat, che pagò con la vita il riconoscimento all'esistenza the Jewish state. The fear of fundamentalism should not be set aside, but why not read the words of El Baradei, in that it will change from within, unpublished suggestions? Really democracy, freedom, human rights, respect for minorities can only be declined within a vocabulary of western?
Egypt, moments of fraternization in mezzo agli scontri. In basso: manifestanti dànno vita a una forma di resistenza nonviolenta di fronte all'esercito armato fino ai denti (foto di Wissam Samhat) .
Di più: il mondo arabo è variegato al suo interno, esattamente come tutti gli altri popoli. I Nordafricani sono cabili e berberi semitizzati; gli egiziani di stirpe camitica, anch'essa semitizzata; l'Islam li accomuna, ma non tutti; e non tutti allo stesso modo. Esistono poi i credenti di altre fedi che, pur minoritari, non sono meno arabi dei primi. "L'Islam è una religione come un'altra. More secular, in fact, than many others. What the damages are certain institutions ", said once the Moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jelloun . This secularism, this horizontality of which we spoke several times about Islam, a faith without a priest, a faith of the newspaper , certainly bears within it the potential for moral progress, social and cultural development of peoples. It is not clear why abandon it to fundamentalist distortions, or worry just as limited, pervaded by a syndrome of the besieged citadel. The man who, according to the Koran , is weak, fickle, consisting of black mud and blood (Cor LXX, 19) is also noble, however, because God has breathed his spirit. For God's gifts - intelligence, will and word - a man, according to the beautiful translation of Federico Pejrone is theophany of divine qualities, and must become his witness through the study, because wisdom comes to God The inner, Islamic spirituality that sees the sign of unremitting life sacred, then, contains human moment that already identified by Academician Russian Artur Sagadeev (and taken up by Silo, founder of the Humanist Movement) in his lecture humanism in classical Islamic thought , held in Moscow back in 1993: the interest for man of the thinkers of the golden age, city and open to new ideas and scientific, cultural, literary concentrated in the top "man is the problem of man" , but at the same time, the g enus human is unique and jagged. Muslims, Jews, Christians, unbelievers collaborated in the past, because it could not happen again? E 'can be identified, according to Shiloh, humanistic attitudes, geographically distant from each other, at certain times and specific details for each culture: "If at the present time the ethnic and religious groups fold back on themselves in search of a strong identity, it means growing a kind of regional or cultural chauvinism that threatens to trigger a confrontation with other ethnic groups, cultures or religions. But the person who legitimately loves his people and their culture must be able to understand that in itself and in its roots, or there existed a 'human moment' which makes it by definition universal and similar to the other in front of him . These differences can not be swept away by anyone. These differences do not constitute an obstacle or a defect or a delay factor but, on the contrary, the richness of humanity. The problem does not lie in differences but in how to achieve convergence and the 'humanist moments' that I refer when I speak of the points of convergence " (emphasis ours).
unable to reach, after so much suffering and blood, those points of convergence? perceive that there would be enough. It seems to us that the only alternative to a path otherwise sprinkled with other tragedies, of other carnage.
Pagine di vita vissuta, una lucente e frizzante mattina di gennaio. Milano tutta per noi, inedita, fresca, linda come il bucato di Dio. Momenti dell'uscita didattica della seconda B del liceo artistico "De Nicola", in visita a Sant'Ambrogio , San Lorenzo e alla mostra Arte della civiltà islamica , a Palazzo Reale .
A sinistra: Palazzo Caccia-Dominioni , alle prime luci del sole, sorge con la semplicità solenne d'un gigante antico. Un color tramonto che, per felice contraddizione, si desta nel silenzio.
Sant'Ambrogio, porch. Students have become tour guides and took us to visit one of the most important churches in Milan.
Constantine, the last pagan emperor or the first Christian ruler? The Roman Empire and a patron of the East, behind him, San Lorenzo, a masterpiece of classical art, Baroque, Byzantine. Below: Jesus and the doctors , Ravenna-Byzantine mosaic in the chapel of Sant'Aquilino.
A silent dream of dominating the square cleared, majestic in a vacuum. Centuries meet in a few meters, under a sky greek, turquoise and persuasive, but frankly Ambrosian. It tells of gods, nymphs, satyrs of that dance among clothes hanging in the sun, carts, craft shops, older workers, different faces, strangers, spatriati. Former slaves.
In the courtyard of the Palazzo Reale, and below, one of many works, dating back to 1610, look at the exhibition on Islam. Islam is the religion of everyday life, the horizontal, the family, sanctity of life as lived. It makes the eternal present moment. E 'careful, serious, abstract and imaginative. His prints of artists sometimes anticipate McIntosh, sometimes set on parchment precious miniatures of time still, already sky, modest, thoughtful, slow. Rest of the eyes and soul.
Milan so we had not ever seen. Worlds and generations, races, bricks, voices of men and women, such as rivers, near and far, in an intense, perennial flow.
Who does not know Stefania ? Maybe if I call the Arabs recognize better? I have already confessed (and forgiven) my little peccadillo publicly against it. But thanks to our contest, I discovered that in addition to the name and passion for the kitchen, we have a lot of things in common (see the smiling pictures of our profiles, the warm Mediterranean sun-Arab who gives them, the difficulties with the rabbit and cabbage, and, not least the non-love coffee). Sure, she's made up and I do not, you can take a ride on a camel when I want and no, she lives with a cat and I did not, she is (or seems) very thin, I just do not seem to but not are not, you speak Arabic and I know hardly healthy (or perhaps I can order a pound of salam ?) and more ...... Now I want to fully redeem her, I dedicate this post to all the winds and trumpeting the goodness of the magnificent dinner prepared A few days ago with products Arabs who sent me. Be careful, I did a menu Arab (absolutely do not know where to start), I just used the spices in my own way that you sent me.
ducts bresaola mousse zathar
Very easy dried beef slices filled with ricotta mousse in Philadelphia and in equal parts, to which I added the / the (? ) zathar, a mix of spices (marjoram, caraway, sesame, cardamom ...) taste very special. Serve on a bed of arugula and tomato (very seasonal, eh?)
Grissini's dough with olives
This I have not prepared her gifts, but I got the recipe from her blog (found here ) . I found them delicious, fotoscenici and really easy to do.
Sfizi with the yeast and zathar sumak
I followed a recipe Simili, they suggested to reuse the remains of refreshing yeast . I've flavored with him / the (?) Zathar. Here is the recipe for the crackers, suggested to me by Cristina , known to friend and Adriano during Paoletta .
300 g of yeast cooled the night before
60 g soft butter 30 g lard
250 g flour 120 g water
50 g of sesame seeds or poppy seeds or toasted fennel (optional, I used the / lo zathar)
all work until a smooth dough and let rise 3 hours or 4. Pull the dough very thin (mine are a little Cicciotti) and cut into squares with holes in the prongs of a fork. In oven 190° per 10 minuti. Se si decide di inserire i semi di sesamo o finocchi, vanno messi nell'impasto (io li ho messi sopra). Per evitare che spostando nella teglia la pasta già sagomata, prima della cottura, i pezzi si allunghino, è meglio stenderla in teglia intera su carta forno e sagomarla soltanto dopo.
Con i ritagli, invece, ho realizzato delle treccine che ho insaporito con il sumak, ovvero polvere di chicchi di melograno essiccati.
Hummus
Forse il più conosciuto delle preparazioni arabe. Si tratta di una crema di ceci cui si aggiunge il Tahine, una pasta sesame. At the suggestion of Rosy, I italianised with some cubes of crispy bacon
For 6 persons: 200 gr
chickpeas (I used those pre-cooked in the can, though normally it should be assumed by dried chickpeas cooked with water and salt)
oil garlic salt and pepper
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
some cubes of bacon (my own addition, it will NOT be in the original)
lemon juice
Drain the beans and transfer to skillet with olive oil and garlic to flavor up. Blend with lemon juice until creamy not too dense (I have also added a little water) and the sesame paste. If you want to do like me, add some diced bacon fried, so Enjoy it otherwise.
I've served with slices of bread with yeast (recipe coming soon)
muffins Zathar
Always with him / the (?) Zathar I flavor of these muffins, as Stephen just advised to use it in this way. The dough is the same as white bread, then the recipe will come in the next few days.
Born in Milan and died in Rome on the eve of the Day Memory. Losing Tullia Zevi struck a multiple pain: international Judaism, culture, secularism, women, Italy. And once again strength with the urgency and the importance of this appointment. In the near future, the last direct witnesses of those terrible years will be gone. It becomes increasingly necessary to enliven the conscience, especially the young, especially in a time when neo-Nazism, behind the screen of a so-called freedom - or rather license - thought s'inocula dangerously in Europe and worldwide. The Justice Minister Angelino Alfano has announced that, in short, the denial will prohibited by law. Commendable initiative, but that is likely to remain a dead letter if not accompanied with widespread educational activity, because often, in recent years, we have heard jokes ambiguous or openly, anti-Semitic spoken by prominent Italian politicians.
We know, however, that the crimes of the Holocaust have been developed centuries before the Nazi history. Ecumenical Christians say: "There is not, and there will be, no public statement of repentance, and even a papal Protestant [...] that they could somehow hide the ethical responsibilities, political, pastoral, human the followers of Rabbi Jesus over the centuries, against the Jewish people. Looking closely against any religious minority. First the Anabaptists, whose fate for the rejection of infant baptism was drowning in the rivers of Europe ". It continues: "We mourn Tullia Zevi simply as non-violent, anti-fascists, but also as a religious level antitotalitarianism " . Bresso, North Park, monument to the deportees.
On Sunday pulled a shiny boots of the Nazis, who were atheists, in fact, unbelievers and pagans, were - during World War II - Germans in temples across the city: the Catholic parish priest and that of the Lutheran pastor. They had to hear Mass or go to the worship of the Word. The jew Jesus was transformed into an idol of militarist and racist ideology, as well as criminal.
saddens fact that despite the good intentions shown by Alfano, in Milan, then the missing funds for Holocaust memorial. And without memory, there is no story. " What is the greatest service that knowledge of history can give us? - wondered Zevi - to put them on notice. The Nazis wanted to kill Jews simply because they were Jews, Gypsies because they were Gypsies and homosexuals because they were homosexual [in this regard please sign the petition against rape "corrective" perpetrated against lesbians in South Africa] , Venivano tutti visti come devianti che dovevano essere eliminati. In ciò consisté la soluzione finale". Identica sorte venne riservata a intellettuali e oppositori politici, sia religiosi, sia laici. "Ci si deve rendere conto di cosa rappresenta la presa di potere di un regime dittatoriale e si deve amare e conservare questa democrazia che con tanta fatica abbiamo riconquistato " , soleva ripetere Zevi.
Speriamo che nel giardino del Tempio si piantino fiori di libertà, colorati e profumati. Non è mai troppo tardi, malgrado la giornata odierna.
Post scriptum . Vincendo il disgusto, trovo opportuno diffondere un episodio disgustoso, che circola sul web. Taluni, fra cui una non meglio precisata "Armata Rossa" costituita da nostalgici stalinisti e gruppuscoli vicini all'estrema destra, hanno propalato l'incredibile bufala secondo cui la escort Ruby, protagonista delle caldi notte arcoriane, sarebbe nientemeno che un' agente del Mossad ; e non ha riso nessuno, al contrario! I succitati signori hanno mostrato di prenderla molto sul serio. Del razzismo dei "sinistrissimi" già mi occupai in precedenza ; qui, però, sfioriamo piuttosto un'irreversibile cretineria.
Non so perchè ho aspettato tanto a pubblicare questo post. Questa foto e questa ricetta giacevano abbandonate in un angolino del mio PC, quasi rassegnati a non vedersi mai pubblicati. E ho sbagliato, perchè è un dolce semplice, relativamente dietetico, ma molto molto gustoso, e soffice, quasi come una nuvola. La ricetta è di Imma , io l'ho ribattezzata "Soffio di cioccolato", per la sua consistenza soffice, morbida e vellutata. Ve la propongo oggi che il mio blog compie un anno.
5 albumi
100 g di zucchero a velo 200 g di cioccolato (quello che preferite) 60 g di maizena a teaspoon of baking powder 100g butter
Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler (I microwave) and allow to cool. Then add the powdered sugar, baking powder and sifted cornstarch. You will have a composite compact and sticky, do not panic. Then gradually add the egg whites with a spatula and whites. Embed them a little at a time, stirring with a spatula from the top down. When you have entered all the egg whites, pour into well greased and floured baking pan and bake at 170 for 35/40 minutes. When cold, I have decorated with icing sugar and syrup ciocccolato.
Now the two other little things!
1 - I won the Nasodatartufo contest with my Christmas chocolates! I'm delighted, because Beny and Marty have chosen my chocolates, it was not a lucky draw! It means that my own chocolates are liked so much! Thanks girls!
2 - I call stepping stone to Fabiola : REMOVE WORD VERIFICATION IN THE COMMENTS!
"Many of you have a recipe published in their blog, you know how much time you lose to leave a comment then ??????? let alone when you make a mistake when typing a letter or write the right word and the blogger from you wrong !!!!!!!!!!! Insomma per me è una tortura, ovviamente io non mi riferisco a coloro devono approvare i commenti per poi renderli pubblici. Quindi se siete d'accordo andate su
Well, guys. Expect a flurry of links, recommendations, references. Why? Because I've already said everything, or nothing. Not much left for me to propose, if not myself, my thoughts, this blog. As usual. What do you think of women in e Berlusconi, and in general of sewage lutulento that his nausea with unbearable stench, as you well know, both from my numerous contacts in DadonnAdonna , both from the "tone" of this general diary. If my friend Massimo Del Papa evokes the bacchanalia of the late empire, rather I think the songs Malebolge of Dante: defined by commentators as "the pigsty of Hell" , including the language heavy, viable, low, dirty, rotten as the souls housed there, now reduced to a wormy dough. But let a premise.
For many workers will open the spectrum, or perhaps the abyss of layoffs. While our sgovernanti assuring us with wide grin and artifacts that the crisis had been removed, here is that this occurs, because in reality he was always there, around the corner, on the contrary, in the face. The Island of cassintegrati came to 330 days of "imprisonment" and, if will get something, it will only because of their fortitude and support network. of "warning young people" speak experts who show a grim future, or rather a lack of future for the next generation (and maybe more). Fabio Emilio Torsello, from right to criticize, informs us that "the attorney Aquila few days ago he put the leaders under investigation Plan CASE for alleged irregularities in the provision of earthquake-resistant materials. L'Aquila was the 'guinea pig' technology never tested before and given, moreover, by only two companies in Italy ". Torsello always felt that the 'garbage crisis in Naples , although no one mentions the most, that is, and that next January 31 Nicola Cosentino appear before the court to decide on the request to send to trial for complicity with the Mafia. About Mafia: January 19 Paolo Borsellino would have turned 71 years: Who remembered? In complete indifference, it is proceeding inexorably to the privatization of water . Days ago, rather quietly, they celebrated the funeral of Luca Sanna, another mountain - the other was Matteo Miotto, dropped earlier this month - crashed in "peace mission" in Afghanistan that just to honor his memoria, verrà rifinanziata lunedì prossimo, mentre si è toccato il record (invero, non solo italiano) di vendite d'armi . Della povera Yara Gambirasio non si sa nulla da 57 giorni, benché la città d'origine della bambina sia rimasta molto vicina alla sventurata famiglia (anche ieri sera c'è stata una veglia).
Lo strazio della giovane moglie ai funerali di Luca Sanna. Assente il presidente del Consiglio Berlusconi.
Sorvolo sui fatti mondiali. Perché vi tornerò in futuro. Perché richiederebbero troppo tempo. E perché, come ha lamentato un lettore (italiano all'estero) di "Repubblica", this dark cave of Europe seems to have become a distant province to second, maybe third-world. Here, we deal with the other. It is observed from a hole. That hole. What has become the focus, even obsession, of those who have built - and never has seemed more appropriate word - your Ego to measure the universe. The poster don Aldo Antonelli, a priest of the border, has posted outside his parish, to protest against the Church "and conniving concubine, mute and gagged, broker and mercenary."
And now m'arrendo. Who wants to read the masterly analysis of Maximus, may consult here or this other link . The thought of Don Andrea Gallo ; to Don Luigi Ciotti or Mgr. Bregantini , the only prelate to express clearly (and up) his disgust. Without doubt, our card. Tettamanzi demonstrates concrete actions that Christianity is not worship of money, the appearance of abuse and bullying. And there are some views expressed "Famiglia Cristiana" has always been critical of the "premier". As Don Paolo Farinella, the combative priest is in retreat but has already promised to be felt, imagine how on his return. Yet, at the Vatican, B. continues to enjoy a hearty support. Of course, cautiously, you are making a departure in view of irreparable scandal. And so, despite Mgr. Bagnasco Te Deum in a few days ago has reprimanded the "defeatist", yesterday, the Pope has dared to declare that, in the management of public morality and legality are .
Nothing, of course, in comparison to the severity of the suspects is incumbent on the Cav. And above all for the deployment of forces and energy used by the Vatican itself when it came to bring down the Prodi government. Remember the Family Day? Now non se ne avverte il bisogno. I suoi portavoce sono soavemente silenziosi, al massimo s'è udito traspirare un "turbamento". Maurizio Crozza s'è ironicamente domandato: meglio i Dico o il bunga-bunga ? La risposta ce la forniscono i "cattolici del Pdl", ovverossia i ciellini di ferro Lupi , Formigoni , Mauro , poi Gasparri (!), Roccella , Sacconi (?) & altri ex-craxiani e fascisti assortiti. Gasparri e Stracquadanio (!!) sono stati espliciti da subito: meglio Berlusconi e i suoi bunga-bunga che p. es. Nichi Vendola , quello è fag and that is enough. So Mgr. Bertoldo, who with the Bertoldino & B. Cacasenno ruled that, even in excess, followed by the nature (where ever you are stuck nature!), While Vendola not. And 'evident to them or not does not matter if you're decent. And 'not being gay enough. Then you can afford any wickedness. They have "context" even slander. They did not flinch when some of the favorite of the "premier", and the legendary Ruby Sabina Began, have compared the old knight, respectively, Gandhi and Jesus Write that Berlusconi would still be a brake against "ethical relativism" because they would never to draft a law that protects the unmarried couples (and significant funding private schools Catholic, to shame the public school), can indeed be shared by those who, like the Pope, he thunders against ' sex education - he said, would lead to nothing less than "lose faith " -; but, as we well know, the church survives from the Middle Ages because of its being the state more pagan and materialistic world.
Cicchitto has an idea: lower the age of consent in order to save Berlusconi on charges of prostitution. Without comment.
short repeats a pattern ancient and ever new: the Church is with Berlusconi, as well as in the past sided with Mussolini, Hitler, with Franco, Salazar, Pinochet etc.. He has not learned the lesson, because she should learn it. Meanwhile, work underwater, and never become too bound to none. It 'a known fact that senior officials are taking to manage Casini concert with a fall of Berlusconi. If this happens, the Vatican works because it is made by conservative political forces.
women do not care about anyone. As the Advocate Finian Bongiorno, it is not necessary that the horrible accusations B. be tested: are his ideas about the female gender, and those they condemn themselves out of time and history, confining in uno stadio "cavernicolo" ben condiviso, del resto, dagli astutissimi ecclesiastici, accomunati a lui, pur in modo rovesciato, dall'identico disprezzo per la donna.
L'unica speranza risiede nelle giovani generazioni, pur così bistrattate da vecchi libidinosi e avidi di potere. Molti anni fa Giovanni Testori redasse un memorabile articolo ìntitolato I padri traditori e i figli traditi . Abbiamo letto, in questi giorni, di padri certo, ma anche di madri, di fratelli e di cugini, che, lungi dall'inorridire, spingevano le figlie tra le braccia del Drago, non solo per l'affitto da pagare, ma anche perché, come ha dichiarato una delle frequentatrici di Arcore, non val la pena sgomitare per mille € a month, when, selling their bodies, if they can get ten thousand, and in much less time. Italy imbolsita and decrepit, bigoted and filthy, rotten meat and decadent. Italy already buried, so it is better to be born orphans. Fortunately, as we remember this girl, but as I see it too, every day, at school, most girls do not look like Ruby.
I ask, but the opposition, the "institutional" means, as is behaving? And I raise: What opposition?

And do not really believe, from Senior ancient name, to return with bowed head
those hands, that pen for years scraped
the desire for certainty in a future
of fatigue in the blood and conquest
That pen is now dagger or against you, without you have removed the roses
tearing the bread
Tears lost loss of sense of the world spit
a collapse of the head
forever set the sun of
e sei festuca vuota
in questo prato d'asfalto
senza fiori da mirare
condannato a un'attesa
e a una sordida speranza
Antonio, operaio in pensione, piange dopo l'annuncio del referendum alla Fiat Mirafiori (foto di Alessandro Contaldo) .
ULTIM'ORA - 1: Vittoria dei "sì" al referendum (54%), decisivo il voto degli impiegati. Ora ci auguriamo non nascano lotte intestine. Sotto, la testimonianza di Maurizio Landini (Fiom) a Che tempo che fa (Raitre). Al seguente link, la replica di Marchionne .
ULTIM'ORA - 2: Rivolta in Tunisia , fuggito il presidente-dittatore Ben Ali . Amici tunisini mi comunicano la loro gioia per la fine di un regime sanguinario e il rammarico per i tanti morti giovani e innocenti, tra cui spicca il laureato-venditore ambulante Mohammed Bouaziz , formerly called the Jan Palach Arabic. Tunisia is a country peaceful, friendly and very close to Italy, we wish him well for its inhabitants, and we are waiting, hoping for a transition to democracy (which the Tunisians need a loud voice) and rejecting any stop, sources of a religious extremism, which, moreover, at present, appear alien to the nature of the protest.
This charming video was posted by a friend in the group In Flight , Which I opened on fb and dedicated to our winged friends.
We are not very numerous. Perhaps because the birds, so fleeting and discrete, elusive little or minor damage "satisfying" man? Perhaps because, fragile, need a love demanding: it must respect its elusiveness. Then educate agape, pure and unique affection.
How many artists have captured them in the highest aspirations? Even their concerns, judging from the famous masterpiece The Birds of Alfred Hitchcock . Ultimately, però, anch'esso potrebbe essere letto come una sorta di controverso omaggio nei confronti della natura offesa e inspiegabile. La più parte, grazie al loro canto o alla loro semplice presenza, si sentono risollevare lo spirito; come avviene all'ergastolano Robert Stroud del tesissimo e solido L'uomo di Alcatraz , interpretato nel 1963 da un Burt Lancaster in stato di grazia: in quella pellicola, spetta a semplici canarini svolgere una funzione "redentrice" nei confronti dell'incallito criminale.
In volo, quindi. Letteralmente IN VOLO per chi ama la natura, per chi ne possiede uno spicchio nella propria casa, per chi semplicemente vuol sognare... sulle dorate ali della fan tasia e della leggerezza.
A destra: i miei canarini Cipria e Fiammetta; sotto: la Natura, incarnata in quest'anatra, sembra accogliere l'uomo con sguardo materno, interlocutorio e fiducioso, richiamandolo alle proprie origini.
In basso e in senso orario: l'amica Angioletta col suo do lcissimo cenerino Kabir; cince in una japonaiserie ; il C COPE wheat with Crows by Van Gogh, Sanremo, in the parish of Our Lady of the Rosary, Maria Goretti with the dove, symbol of purity and peace .
I was 16 .... and a lot of chaos in the head and in life, adolescence ... the parents and school ... Friends! .. I began to write the diary to try to vent with someone I averebbe happen, because I was talking to myself ... and I was sure that someday I would be served. I wrote my mess, the emotions and anger in the hope that I would provide the solution or just a shoulder to cry on.
Then for a few years I left my silent friend, I thought I would not have served more. I have found happiness, I think I finally caught .. what a great mistake ... are in a period in life where I do not even know what I want, I do not know what is good and what is bad for me. I know that I have so many people around and among them many that I am They want good .. but .. I do not understand where is happiness, what is it? because we insist on if we reach it after a while she goes into disarray and leaving utter confusion? I started a new diary and I think I might just call "The Pursuit of Happyness," as that beautiful film with Will Smith ...
It was then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, when we speak of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and I remember thinking, how knew he had to use the word search. Because happiness is something we can only pursue, and maybe we will never reach, no matter what we do, how did you know?!? - Never let anyone tell you that you can not do something. Not even me. Ok? If you have a dream you must protect it. When people can not do something they tell you that you do not. If you want something, go and Pursue. Point.
"The Pursuit of Happyness"
Maybe one day this diary will help me in some way, perhaps tired of my complaints will rebel and I will answer that is the case of " not continue to complicate his life, that simple things are the best, that happiness is just around the corner ... we just have to keep it close once captured!
