How To Make Boat Costume

Alloy


last week as thousands of others remained glued to the network and satellite television to watch the exiled transmission Santoro, a kind of pre-election call to arms for the people of the center-left. Sure! a breath of fresh air in a television forzismo asphyxiated by a mixture of propaganda, doing good and widespread optimism. Sure! a program that made me laugh, smile, angry. But while the left and leftists are confined in a sort of television executives and the Indian reservation of the same left-wing parties if the sound and the singing, and the souls of the claims after the Diaspora are still struggling, despite the Party Democrats, with internal struggles, seeking true soul of the party, a party is "normal", to quote Ilvo Diamond, a columnist for La Repubblica, which has once again won the elections: the League. According

Diamond is the party of Bossi's the only real party in Italy was among the many parties light, media, or struggling with internal strife. The League is a different thing, even today, which acts as the League of government, both at national and local.
Now we can say it is the most central and most scratch-resistant of the second Republic, managed to master almost monarchical Bossi and his faithful, who also live within a few miles from him, we can also say that it is easy to make a party so solid when you build a party where so close and democratic dialogue between the parties, and thus the conflict between them is almost zero, ie where only one command - or a group - but it is by comparing the figures, we realize that it is not so easy to dismiss the phenomenon League. The League expresses the mayor in 355 municipalities in 14 provinces, the president and the governor in two regions. In the European elections of 2009 has established itself as the first party in 1000 over four thousand common on the North, and where no rules determining the choice of mayors in office. It has a leadership strong, personalized and centralized. It is planted firmly in the historical capital, Varese and Bergamo, Lombardy, and Treviso, and for some time in Verona, in Veneto. In government, his men guarding strategic and important ministries: Interior Maroni, Calderoli institutional reforms, and finally Zaia, new governor of the Veneto and also new landmark of the new Lega, agriculture, Zaia that his ministry has transformed from a child in a department with high visibility, as it evokes the earth, the sense of belonging, tradition. We could also say, to do the devil's advocate, that in twenty years of government have failed to take home with nothing, not secession, obviously, not federalism, touting since 1986, more or less, but not one shred fiscal federalism, however, the League is still the largest party rooted in the north. A party that twenty-five years gazebo sets up in the streets, propaganda Merchandising mobilizes almost all members, and continues to proselytize around schools and high schools. Three or four out of ten students are still subjected to the charm of the left control, left the world of alternative and community centers, which belong to the world but first I think it's out of fashion, out of time and out of the world in which we live today , a different world than where we were young at the end of the twentieth century, the other seven react League embraces the sword. But speaking to the belly of the Lega people also talk to the workers, achieves both small business owners, as their workers, whether of the Brianza, Piedmont and Northeast Italy, and just when I joined them at the bar, leaving the " little factory "in which they manage or work. The league is talking with people and with people, especially listening to people and then telling people what it wants to hear.

The League is a solid party that has surpassed even the physical crisis of its leader, when everyone thought that the physical collapse of the Northern League leader would have led to the defeat of the party created by him, well it did not happen. The League speaks to the belly of the people? Yes, I think the league speaks to people's belly, but who speaks to his heart? About the other side, the side of the left, has the power to speak to the hearts of people? Who has the moral credibility to do it? Certainly not this leadership and bureaucratic class that in twenty years not was able to collect nothing but defeat after defeat, a ruling class that always intervenes and promptly to stop almost all attempts at internal reform, even if known to be repudiated by all but his loyalists. And while the league continues its long-lasting work of rooting, the left prefers the path of secession to the internal path of real reform. But whose fault is it if not an entrenched ruling class in his posts at all levels, from the local level, which reflects the general situation, where the same trade unionists and political command for years, at the national level, where for nearly thirty ' years follow and pursue the various D'Alema, Fassino, Veltroni, Franceschini, already leading losers of the various youth movements of the '70s and '80s, as well as students and racks of old secretaries of the '60s and '70s. So who wants to reform the party groped which has only one way to create a new, another, party? Look at the case of Di Pietro - I'm not a fan of his but look at his case - for he wanted to run for leader of the Democratic Party, entering the PD and what he was told? Or look at the case of Vendola, which had to be cut according to the Roman leaders. Like these there are hundreds, thousands of cases. Nothing. The left does not want reform, they change names but the people are young and are relegated to a marginal role. So you can not continue. The traditional left is not in pursuit of instances of people, but in predicting and understanding things first. Today it is not so today, this ruling class in addition to not seek will not even listen.

But perhaps it is why our prime minister: it is impossible to defeat the Party of Love, Love always wins over hate ... Ahahahaha

Lombardy: death of the left


It 's a bit of time I do not write about politics, but tonight I can not do it. And 'in fact too much time on the last night of elections, be they political, administrative, European, or referendum, etc., ends the same way, at least for me, with a veil of sadness mixed with a large incazzatura. Changing the addends, or pretend to change, but the result is the same: a more or less clear defeat of the center-left politics. The sadness, I said, it is also accompanied dall'incazzatuta and tonight we saw the usual parade of executives of the largest center-left party - already now because PRC has virtually disappeared - which in turn will not admit defeat and accept that it is time to change and really to go home. Simply, we can not, you have to go home. You have to leave the party in the hands of young people, you be your hand, you have to really change! The Democratic Party so as it has failed: Veltroni failed, failed Bersani, D'Alema has failed, the leadership of the old Margaret has failed. Go home, go back to your families and your work - always that after years of party politics will still have a -.

Take for example the north. In the north, the left has lost, left at the north no longer exists. The intellectuals were forced out, young people are not even considered. How can you think that a candidate who had already lost, especially in the provinces, provincial elections last year in Milan, Penati - already excellent mayor of Sesto, for heaven's sake - could win the whole of Lombardy. What was possible to think that anyone who has not been voted on the high Milan could be voted in Brianza, in Varese, Como, Pavia, let alone in Bergamo, in Valtellina, or Brescia? Except when people are applying very important, culturally and socially speaking, as Cacciari in Venice, or Illy in Friuli, or Chiamparino in Turin, that is, except when applying real progressives, people who can consent to collect almost everywhere, except in those cases the North is lost everywhere. Zaia Formigoni triumphs and wins for the fourth consecutive time. I told the fourth time! Possible that after twenty years of government Formigoni, among other things not an enlightened government, almost a bad government, government patronage and partisan, the leaders of the center-left has not come to mind nothing better than to reapply for the losing candidate in the province of Milan? We had ten years 'time, we had five years' time? Nothing. You could start over, you could consider a real alternative, one could work to take root in the territory to return to listen to people and yet nothing. Summands change, names change, there is no longer the PDS, the Popular Party, the Olive Tree, the DS and the Margherita, there is a PD, but people are always the same and the result is always the same: two decades of defeats .
I will not be drastic but realistic! Where you win you win for the unworthiness of others not on our own. The center left to the north, especially in Veneto and Lombardy, has died. But Lombradia and not the Veneto, Tuscany and Emilia's right, I never have been, are and were the centers of work, the centers of craft work, worker and business, the centers of the great movements of the voluntary social ACLI, etc.. Well, the people vote in these centers to the right and the left with these people no longer able to talk and maybe, and it is even worse, no longer wants to talk.

Obviously we can say that it is the fault of television, a leader who has transformed people's minds, influencing, making the common thought leadership and business, which obviously being defended him one of them, or their natural leader, and the poor people now have no alternative.
But perhaps most striking is the collapse of the myth of the good local government of the left. Where the left rules, precisely at the local level, it is said to be confirmed, and it is not that good government is not told that that is what people do, everyone, not just speculators, but also young people, intellectuals , families, etc., are expecting. The left when administrative, bureaucratic and often quietly, no longer a dream, and people do not vote again. Take the case of my country, Nerviano: after fifty years of center-right wins the center-left, even for demerits of others. What a great opportunity to change course, to make people dream, and yet - mind you do not want to be a review on the work of this administration - in fact citizenship nervianese in all elections that have occurred in the administrative right to vote continues. Possible that the only option for the next win is that the right is divided inside? It is not only the case of Nerviano, is also the case of Parabiago, in which the election will begin in a few hours, or has been the case in Laindon. Almost everywhere in the northern part of Milan if the left wins the right appears in a separate house: when the left wins does not win for a real work of internal reform, and indeed often the reformers the thought of next, whether young people, intellectuals, businessmen, etc., are away from the leadership of the party itself, or relegated to marginal role, while remaining the most obedient to the dominant thought, and worse than the usual names. Let us consider the case of Penati fact, a case that perfectly represents a ruling class that continues to suonarsela cantarsela and alone - and I would say almost always because of the continuous defeats evil suonarsela -.

We try to strike a positive note - while Polverini announced that tomorrow there will be a feast for the gladiators of the vote, thanking the boys of his committee ... chills; Bonino and thanks for the victory? (He sees her ...) -? I that the only real positive note of this election is the confirmation of Vendola in Puglia. The victory of one who has admitted his mistake, that is, that he trusted too much of the leadership of the party that supported him and who betrayed him to the sound of scandals, which has left cleaning up its former executive and challenging openly, with the primaries, the "new" candidate of the party by tapping and going among the people to demand the vote. A vote that has given the people. Bravo.
We hope that one day in Lombardy you can start from there, from the famous primaries. Personally I would like to remind you that in 2003 I was just saying that the primaries could be the only way to turn, or try to do so, a party, a group of people, too tied to its mechanisms, too tied to its internal bureaucracy, too far from the people.

Ps. I was preparing a reflection on the left and work but I momentarily frozen. Resurface in the coming days.

Maxine Poses A Question On Health Care Cartoon

Monte Carasso, an example of planning and intervention in the historical center



That this is not an easy time for young workers, including for young designers, but is to be said for young people in general, is a matter of fact, today, as often other times I have a little 'to escape the monotony of work, a little' to recharge the batteries and a little 'search for solutions to two projects I'm working with some architect friends have returned to a village in the canton of Ticino, Monte Carasso, who had accidentally discovered a year and a half ago and then I had occasion recently to study.

Monte Carasso is a small town south of Bellinzona of 2400 inhabitants, more or less like the town where I live. It was a typical village in Ticino, made of rustic houses, arranged almost randomly along the main road, an extension of more or less unregulated, as our country and a center with a church and what remains of an ancient monastery.
the late 70's had just approved a plan that called for the construction of a school close to the motorway, while the area center near the former convent was part of a rebuilding program. The new administration took office just thought instead to disavow that plan to enter the new school right in the former convent. In 1978 he was called, with a mandate to recover the old convent and to design the new school, the architect Luigi Snozzi. For Snozzi was a concrete opportunity to try to reinvent the center of the country. The monumental area with the cloister and the church could not be read and what was missing in Monte Carasso were public spaces, play spaces, ie spaces for young people and families. Snozzi proposed to enhance the monumental complex of the former convent bring to light the ancient arches, demolishing houses, cleaning the entire system and especially by a major operation to empty the center of the monumental superfettazioni. Church, school, cemetery, home of the municipality, municipal gym suddenly found themselves to be part of a new project, a project that aimed to build the public center of the city, made a new agora of open spaces and places to stay, play and leisure time.

After approval of the policy principles set out in the draft Snozzi, it poses the problem of defining the new planning instruments which were to replace the floor, the notorious technical standards and building regulations.
First was a plan detail to the "zone of protection of the monuments", which provided new alignments and in fact at that point aside the plan. It was designed a new town planning legislation, extended to the nuclei of the old town area surrounding the monument, which was limited to a few rules, leaving the problems are usually addressed in local standards, volumes, distances from boundaries, etc., to the goodness of projects and very few rules. This new legislation places some constraints and given great power to a committee of architects, was in fact designed to offer great freedom, especially settlement. A major issue was densify the city center, giving the possibility that to construct small buildings next to existing buildings and limiting the consumption of the peripheral ground. Monte Carasso suddenly became an example of a city where the project replaced the floor, or rather one of those instances where the plan was just rebuilt from a project and not vice versa, as usually happens. Monte Carasso became an example of how a redevelopment project of a monumental center could become a true city project.

This reduction of the rules did not mean unbridled deregulation and lax and without a parachute out of control: in fact, a review carried out by the planning commission, made up of prominent people, because central construction of the city, and surveyors of the country (with all due respect to the latter), was a great and important. Only five years later, in 1990 approved the new plan, the rules built from field-testing of approved projects in those years.
While normally the rule is applied to urban planning with absolute rigidity, requiring the project to adapt to the strict rules as abstract, often indifferent to the proper places and architectural project in the planning process started in Monte Carasso was thus granted to the highest architectural freedom of infringement, provided that this transgression was justified as actually qualifying.

Today, Monte Carasso has a monumental center open, airy, light and lively and made a historic center of old houses flanked by modern buildings, and I think Monte Carasso can still be regarded as a model for our poor and ill-reduced villages. An example in the planning and design just did not go hand in hand, but rather a simple project, so to speak, for an old center has been converted into an idea of \u200b\u200bthe city, rejecting the abstract planning of the planning rules, understood as of the word, and pulling the schedule later. Monte Carasso is still a model to study, to see, to live.

Tightening Iron Board Cover

WHEN THE SYNERGY BETWEEN CITIZENS AND POLITICIANS WORK!

happens that some time ago, we received and I Galeazzo Bignami from a family in the area Tuscolano, on an environmental issue ...
From that conversation it turns out that in the area there are other very serious problems, reported several years ago by the residents themselves to the competent Authorities, the Local Health Unit, in the City and District, and one for all: a laboratory via Parini run by Chinese, with serious consequences for hygiene and safety.
Upon receiving the news, we send a report to Police, Financial Police and Municipal Police from citizens reporting what they have learned ...
Score: yesterday, State Police and the Guardia di Finanza raided the laboratory, Noting the presence of 40 people aiming to work and refreshments, of which 13 illegal and not in accordance with the rules work, hygiene and verifying some risk, odor and dirt everywhere.
Finally the policy was really to serve the citizens ... a good result to the community!
only question is why anyone, despite being several years aware of the problem has ever occurred!
Where was far Who ruled Bologna? Because it has never taken on the recommendations of the residents?

What Can I Use Of Rizla

start again from here ... Happy 2010!


This evening, after a long break to rest, sorrow and reflection, I decided to go back to writing.

Who is the Universe?
If mankind, if mankind were to disappear
The Universe would be useless
Us ... We want to imitate God

So there are artists.
The artists would like to recreate the world,
as if they were smaller.
and make a series of ... They have a continuous
rethink ...
on the history, life on everything that happens here,
or what they believe happened.

is because in the end we believe in the memory. Why
it is all over, and who ensures that everything we imagine is the past, the past really is? Who should we ask?

This world, this assumption then it is an illusion.
The only real thing is memory. But memory is an invention ...
After all, the memory, I mean in the cinema ... cinema in the camera may set a time but that moment has already passed.
Basically what makes the film is to revive the ghost of that time, and we are certain that existed at that time out of the film? Or the film is the guarantee of the existence of that moment? In short we live in a permanent doubt ...


Director Fridrich, protagonist ghost of Lisbon Story, whose name is a tribute to the real director, Wim Wenders, Federico Fellini, world-weary of the images sold off, tired of the leadership of directors, composers, architects, sold out to special effects of the god of money, try back to basics and decided to return to cinema's beginnings to the classic. On that
an emotional vortex in which everything loses sense and understands that when immortalized, or decide to capture a scene, the scene suddenly becomes, in fact, false, or at least sold out and sold as commercial.
After trying to shoot a real movie, with an old crank chamber, a tribute to early cinema, new greek architect, or Roman, also decided to leave that road, because once again attacked and the result of a conscious process that forced then producer of unreal images. "The images are no longer those of the past, you can not trust them [...]. While we were growing up images storyteller, and bearers of things. Now I'm all for sale, with their stories and their things. They do not know how to show more. Images are sold beyond the world, with big discounts ... "Says the director. Then re-started after a hundred years, but "did not work. For a while it seemed possible, but then it all fell apart ... '.
So he began to drive around the city Room with a shoulder that bears hanging on his back, taking up what is going on behind him without filters: mountains and virgin film real, well that is until no one will see, and when that will be seen to lose their meaning and their purity.

is the death of cinema, death is the architecture and composition. It is the question of the director, the architect, the composer, is the question of the artist in front of the market: what to do? Definitely sell out or go back to the beginning, the classics? But can we really go back to the beginning, maybe pretending nothing has happened so far?

And here comes the paradox: it is a technical to deliver the solution to the composer. Just one technique that has brought the artist to move away permanently from the natural course of history, rejecting the fruits of technology, making him the desire to come back to antiquity, the solution delivery director:
"This is a message for Fridrich, the king of the junk store images ... [In the background appears a sign advertising "principle, or a happy ending ..." genius found Wenders]. Fritz Ohhh, I think you're a bit 'LOST! All these pictures toy I guess you did a little insane. You are now in a dead end, facing the wall, but ... move your eyes, trust them, they do not have mica back ... Continue to trust your old crank, it is still capable of moving pictures, then why waste your life in pictures superfluous junk, putting your heart when you can make superb pictures on celluloid. Moving images can still do what they were invented a century ago. There may still be moving ... '.

us trust our hearts, and we try to do with the heart of the architecture.
Ben back, and welcome back ... myself
