Would Plan B Cause Me To Urinate More

There is little to laugh, Caimano: Italy is considered a joke by Country


Vladimir Putin e Silvio Berlusconi Vladimir Putin and Silvio Berlusconi

The disasters of the era depicted by Berlusconi's lack of consideration for the prime minister in the diplomatic documents of the administration American popular on the web. With him, the image of Italy is now close to "zero"

ROME - He, the Cayman, it's always like that, because he thinks it's cool. Joke and laugh about it. As soon as his flaw is discovered, among the many that remain mysterious, the first public occasion takes the ball early to exorcise his figures. After the story of a minor, to be teased Casoria alone, after the Ruby heartthrob, stunned everyone by saying that was a minor fix.

And so does even now that Wikileaks has spread all over the world account che la diplomazia americana nutre nei suoi confronti: “vanitoso e incapace”, “profonda sfiducia in lui”, protagonista di “party selvaggi”, assurto (si fa per dire) al tristo incarico di “portavoce” di Putin. Il Caimano ci ride su ma non gli italiani (almeno quelli che ancora hanno un barlume di ragione e di avvedutezza), perché è chiaro dove portino le considerazioni espresse dalla vice-responsabile dell’ambasciata americana in Italia Elisabeth Dibble (ufficialmente, incaricata di affari della rappresentanza diplomatica): ad emarginare il nostro Paese dal consesso internazionale, considerarlo non affidabile e non autorevole. E ciò unicamente per via dei comportamenti irresponsible of its premier, private life of his eloquence, that does not respond to a rent-stabilized that any head of government must submit to an international level.

But there is obviously something even worse in the considerations so far have been disseminated on the net (they are coming at least another three thousand in the coming hours and in the coming days) definitely abnormal state of relations between our country and two countries with which U.S. administrations are forced to live in but would rather avoid: Russia autocratic Putin-Medvedev duo's and Libya's Gaddafi plutocrat. It is between the Libyan desert and the Kremlin that the Italian prime minister has so far played its games, strengthening friendship business for which you know only a paltry percentage of completion. The suspects are hiding in those reports as "private interests" of the Cayman clear from the documentation of the Department of State, with a note of the same Hilary Clinton (then the highest level) with the aim to know the "personal investment" in the Italian premier potentially production of influences on the foreign policy of the alliance. Nothing like this had ever happened in the Italian republican history, namely, that the U.S. administration had asked whether the private affairs of the tenant of Palazzo Chigi could disrupt the traditional balance beyond Atlantic and this may already be sufficient to understand the systemic breakdown that caused the Berlusconi regime, with perhaps irreparable damage to the Italian democracy. Berlusconi, in fact, in a rambling delirium of false efficiency and acquisition of a global prestige, has tried to put your foot in most brackets, in turn to ride the horse more capricious but brighter. And here's unblemished friendship with the "sent by God" Medvedev and Putin, with whom business closes between Gazprom and Eni, the declared value of one billion euro, prompting fears in Washington that the whole of Europe could in future become an "annexe" not only Russian for energy supplies. What's more, at the same time strengthens the link with the Colonel of Tripoli, in this case for reasons of energy and not only consenting to exorbitant demands to Italy and Europe in the field of migration. Then, to cover their backs, announced a day in and day out about his loyal friendship with Israel and, when there was Bush, thought it was just his policy "pats on the back" and words of love, of all out of place as the whole character that uttered, to ward off the inevitable questions about the nature of those too dangerous friendships.

is in this way that, almost scientifically, il Caimano (e la sua diplomazia, affidata alle mani dell’evanescente Franco Frattini) ha distrutto quel po’ di reputazione internazionale che il nostro Paese aveva faticosamente costruito con Massimo D’Alema e con Romano Prodi. Ora, prendersela a ridere, significa soltanto continuare a dileggiare 60 milioni di cittadini, che avrebbero tutto il diritto di non essere presi in giro quando si recano in viaggio in una qualsiasi Capitale del mondo civilizzato.

Il testamento di Padre Christian De Chergé

Testament of Father Christian de Chergé, Prior of the Abbey of Tibhirine, killed with six Trappist monks in Algeria by Islamic fundamentalists, probably May 21, 1996. The story of Father Christian de Chergé and his brother was devoted to the film Les hommes et les Dieux, badly translated in Italy with the Men of God

If I were a day - and could be oggi - di essere vittima del terrorismo che sembra voler coinvolgere ora tutti gli stranieri che vivono in Algeria, vorrei che la mia comunità, la mia Chiesa, la mia famiglia, si ricordassero che la mia vita era “donata” a Dio e a questo paese.
Che essi accettassero che l’unico Signore di ogni vita non potrebbe essere estraneo a questa dipartita brutale.
Che pregassero per me: come essere trovato degno di una tale offerta?
Che sapessero associare questa morte a tante altre ugualmente violente, lasciate nell’indifferenza dell’anonimato.
La mia vita non ha valore più di un’altra. Non ne ha neanche meno. In ogni caso non ha l’innocenza dell’infanzia.
Ho vissuto abbastanza to know that I share the evil which seems, alas, to prevail in the world, and also what would strike me blindly. When the time comes, I wish I could have that moment of clarity that would allow me to beg forgiveness of God and that of my fellow human beings, and at the same time to forgive with all my heart who would strike me.
I could not wish me such a death. It seems to me important to state. I do not see, in fact, as I rejoice in the fact that the people I love were indiscriminately accused of my murder.
would pay too high a price that would be called, perhaps, the "grace of martyrdom" to owe it to an Algerian, whoever he is, especially when he says acting in fidelity to what he believes to be Islam.
So what contempt the Algerians could be surrounded, taken globally, is also known caricatures of Islam which encourages a certain Islamism. It 's too easy to get a clear conscience by identifying this religious way with the integrity of its extremism.
Algeria and Islam, for me, is another thing, are one body and soul.
I have proclaimed this often enough, I think, based on what I saw and learned from experience, finding that so often strand of the Gospel taught in the lap of my mother, my very first Church in Algeria, and, even then, nel rispetto dei credenti musulmani.
La mia morte, evidentemente, sembrerà dare ragione a quelli che mi hanno rapidamente trattato da ingenuo, o da idealista: “Dica, adesso, quello che ne pensa!”.
Ma queste persone debbono sapere che sarà finalmente liberata la mia curiosità più lancinante. Ecco, potrò, se a Dio piace, immergere il mio sguardo in quello del Padre, per contemplare con lui i Suoi figli dell’Islam così come li vede Lui, tutti illuminati dalla gloria del Cristo, frutto della Sua Passione, investiti del dono dello Spirito, la cui gioia segreta sarà sempre di stabilire la comunione,giocando con le differenze.
Di questa vita perduta, totalmente mia e totalmente loro, I thank God who seems to have willed it entirely for this joy, and in spite of everything.
In this "thank you" when all is said, now in my life, certainly include you, friends of yesterday and today, and you, my friends here, with my father and my mother, my sisters and my brothers , and to them, hundredfold as was promised!
And you, my friend the last minute that you will not have known what you were doing. Yes, I want this for you "thanks" and that "a-God" in whose face you contemplate.
And may we meet again, happy thieves in Paradise, if it pleases God our Father of both.
Amen! Inch'Allah.

Sfascio Italia

by Adista - Signs new - November 27, 2010

If there was no need for a symbolic image of the miserable condition of Italy these days, nature itself be responsible for providing: the collapse of the House of the Gladiators at Pompeii, the flooding in Veneto and Campania, heaps of garbage in Naples, the anti-dumping events, immigrants "hung" to a crane or a chimney Brescia to Milan ... Or photos of the various D'Addario, Naomi, Ruby ...
Italy is experiencing one of its darkest moments. The worst is that you have never seen the
Finally, despite the pressure of events in recent days with the views expressed by Fini, disputes increasingly popular Prime Minister, the loss of pomposity and arrogance of Ministers Berlusconi, the increasingly frequent police beatings of protesters and demonstrators in a different color without any political or color! It is difficult to imagine a better future in a reasonable time.
Already this mingling of government action, or rather "inaction" of government, and Berlusconi's private life is an anomaly. A government should be judged for what he does, not for the prime minister's private life. But Berlusconi has spent too much time from the sign. It is said that much good the government has done and does, and this "do good" would have two names: Maroni and Tremonti. That did Tremonti? He used the "crisis" as a means of increasing social inequality, giving to the rich and deprive the poor, got their hands on funds from the 5 per thousand that the Italians have for the so-called third sector, but has since found money for private schools, mostly Catholic. Nothing to complain about the Church's right to have his educational proposal through private schools, but in an evangelical vision of, testimony would be true in this moment ruined, ruined economically and morally, a "No, thanks! Wait for better times and decisions that are not used. " E Maroni? Remains the main author of "Fortress Italy", the operator of the security package built on people's fears, skillfully created art in the theory of a substantial "new slavery", the one that makes the poor and desperate criminals.
But then, it is true that Berlusconi's private life has nothing to do with government action? When a head of government and defends claims his lifestyle immoral and unethical by any ethical judgments, not just of ethics "religious" and flaunting as a "good life" as an example of successful life and realized, this is a political act! And if the good life is measured by the vulgarity of language and judgments (jokes sulle donne condite magari di bestemmie, contestualizzate, per carità, come chiede un illustre prelao della nostra Chiesa); dalle frequentazioni di escort (in chiaro: prostitute!), di minorenni, di personaggi almeno discussi e discutibili, dall’ostentazione offensiva della ricchezza, (sulla cui origine tanti dubbi, anche giudiziari, permangono); dal potere gestito con superficialità e spregiudicatezza, alla maniera dei sultani ottomani o dei “padroni delle ferriere”, tutto questo non è politica? Chi è immorale e amorale nella vita privata inesorabilmente è immorale e amorale anche nella vita pubblica. E la sua immoralità e amoralità diventano costume, diventano l’ethos di un popolo intero abbagliato e manipolato con un uso sapiente e spregiudicato dei mezzi di comunicazione, operazione che il Nostro ha ben condotto a partire dagli anni ‘80.
Di certo, sarà più facile ricostruire la Casa dei Gladiatori che ridare un’anima all’Italia.

PELLEGRINAGGIO DI PACE E GIUSTIZIA IN TERRASANTA dal 28 febbraio al 7 marzo 2011

Noi siamo quelli dell’Europa. È vecchia, ma spesso si dimentica che è ancora piccina rispetto a «mamma Gerusalemme». Chi ha già fatto l’esperienza di uno dei nostri pellegrinaggi nella Terra del Santo sa che non ci accontentiamo di incontrarci con la fonte della fede attraverso ciò che sta sotto la terra: gli scavi, l’archeologia, la memoria. Nemmeno di ciò che sta sopra: i santuari, i luoghi santi, le celebrazioni. Ci interessiamo di chi vive nella terra: le pietre vive! Ci stiamo rendendo conto che in oriente, il passato che ci accomuna e il presente con la sua complessità, sono così importanti che disgiungerli significherebbe perdere qualcosa di fondamentale, proprio di ciò che andiamo cercando, ogni volta che andiamo a questa fonte. Spesso i pellegrini tornano mancanti, fruitori di una esperienza di turismo religioso, sinceri nel loro atto di fede, sicuramente toccati in qualche modo dallo Spirito ma con il rischio che «non sono stati dei veri pellegrini», non hanno incontrato la fonte, oppure ne hanno bevuto ben poco rispetto a quello che avrebbero potuto (la fonte è anche il testo, the Bible, and the risk is to meet the land of the Bible without even opening it!). We have launched a style of wandering, with a continuity after the trip. We have contacts with the living stones, for bridges, to initiate, promote and then keep forms of sharing. We want to bring up contacts with local resources and positive in each of the revealed religions, to learn to feel accommodated by all, to hear different voices, because of the Holy Land is our land, we can not attend to 'European', export a style inconsistent with the land: it is not only inhabited by minorities and by a majority, it is the Holy and for those who live there, both for those passes. The earth is full of colors and ideas, memories and traditions, the earth is a place of complexity and conflict, but also full of possibilities, of witnesses of faith, living faith in such a way that we never know in background, yet I remain evangelized. This mode of travel is good for our pilgrims, and good for those who live in the Holy Land, who received us with much joy and it is said. On the one hand they do not feel abandoned, on the other pilgrims encounter the world of the brothers in the faith of Jesus, or Abraham, to notice a world otherwise unknown, never to return to the same as it started. The ecumenical pilgrimage is an opportunity, an opportunity to know the situation in a proper perspective, to give support, meet the living stones, to exit from the parameters of a certain religious tourism, even in the choices often are made more concrete. There are pilgrimages fruit of sets ready, "a" hit and run "from the price at times treacherous, alluring, but which are motivated only by economic interests that glosses over the issues of the day. It's "pilgrimage" an organized trip like this? It is the journey to meet the living stones or travel to mold the bricks of the tower of Babel? There is a risk of going to the Middle East, organized, very essential, often uninterested in the local situation, and very interested in dead stones, to treat the land as a museum. In this case we are in danger of being children of the tower of Babel, in danger of being like those bricks, all equal and if they are the building blocks that we have available to build the story, then we can only speak of a history of bankruptcy. We can, however, listen to an invitation from the Middle East, to feel alive, where local communities are ready to greet us with their style, their resources, with their enthusiasm, with history, archeology, memory, speech flesh from their land, but still beating in their faces, in people, not just echo una'esperienza linked to the memory of the past, but echoes of meetings with the present reality, religious, social and political life.

The Salry For A Dirt Bike Designer

Arsenic. Water banned for 1 million of Italians. Here are the regions at risk

€ 175 million to put under the water systems in 117 municipalities outlaw closed valves in 128 municipalities

ROME - "The usual mess" Italian ". The exceptions were intended to address and resolve definitively the problem, which is known, the concentration of certain pollutants in the water distributed in some regions and instead have become yet another ploy to not intervene. Luckily we thought Europe to stop the perpetration of a practice detrimental to public health. Now the municipalities involved to do what they have already had to do immediately after requesting the exemption, namely, informing the public and put under the aqueducts. But do not generalize, 59 million Italians have no problem with arsenic in drinking water and tap water can count on guaranteed quality and controlled. "


So the scientist in charge of Legambiente Ciafani Stefano, said the European Commission's decision not to grant the third exception to Italian municipalities where drinking water contains concentrations arsenic well above the legal limit (10 micrograms per liter).
The environmental organization in a document takes stock of the situation on waivers and possible solutions, pointing out that out of 157 municipalities that had applied for three parameters (boron, fluoride and arsenic), 128 have not obtained because sull'arsenico asked to increase its concentration in water determined by the value of 10 micrograms per liter to 30, 40 or 50 micrograms per liter and was granted up to a maximum of two years to 92 municipalities for the fluoride to 17 for boron and arsenic, but only 8 for up to 20 micrograms, following the World Health Organization (WHO).
"To be within the limits - added Ciafani - simply proceed to operative treatment in a few months, as has already happened in different parts of Italy. In fact, in 2003, requests for exemption were made by 13 regions out of 10 parameters and in February 2010, the renewal request submitted by Italy was limited to six regions (Campania, Lazio, Lombardy, Tuscany, Trentino Alto Adige, Umbria) for three parameters. So - concludes Ciafani - the reduction of demands, both in terms of territories that the parameters involved shows that, with appropriate investment, you can get out of the exemption by ensuring that people drinking water in compliance law ".


Legambiente remember that municipalities that have received the exemption will come into compliance within the next 10 months and particularly in areas where there will be presentations has been renewed for more than 175 million €, aimed to reduce the concentrations of arsenic, fluoride and boron in the waters and thus avoid the need for new exemptions. The project involves the construction of new water systems or for the supply of water from sources that have concentration values \u200b\u200blower than those of substances regulated by law, or the realization of treatment systems and water mixing.
The exemptions are valid for three years with the possibility to be renewed in up to a further two times. The first two exceptions are decided by the Ministry of Health while the third should have the green light by the European Commission.

agree believe that Berlusconi is the last stop and consider that the majority of the center / right now is the final dissolution. The jury is serious about the "death knell" for another in the face of total absence of rational choices of the executive, pulling a living in emergency, continue to face the obvious problems with which he was praised The quick solution (the waste in the center of Naples, and not only!), facing a culpable conduct of the premier, who invade the private sphere by the same institutional fairness, in the face of apparent undue influence of the executive in all areas of life of the nation it is hard to provide a breakthrough, despite resistance from the tones of the knight and his loyal courtiers crystallized. However
alongside death knell not only addressed to the executive, but very often the same experience of a center / right, the populist as it has no culture of democratic rules and physiological foundation, there is the wonder of a large part of the opinion inefficiency and inaction on those involved in a possible (?) Or, want the opposition (Bersani in particular), the area that you want is opposing, for months now, inside the center / right drift of democratic rules ( purposes for the note).
Honestly (this is obviously of an opinion) I think now useless and I think the critical analysis rather urgent indication of any positive alternative. These suffer from a gross deficiency, and why, while complex, resulting in each case, the failure or aborted constitution of a party of the center / left. The same evaluations that they face here point out a difficulty which seems insurmountable: finding common goals and programs shared by the heirs of various traditions.
I must say that when I talk of convergence between different traditions, have no wish to repeat unlikely centrist parties or post / Democrats that someone seems to be afraid, may perhaps serve to close the unfortunate experience Berlusconi, but then what? how to proceed in the government of the country?
I am sure of repeating myself, but the problem to the solution (if it is feasible) remains open. I continue to believe that the experience of Catholicism / democratic and that the Italian left can and should be understood on two pillars: an alternative I do not see a anti-democratic tendencies, which is already in place. The two pillars
abide by the secular nature of the autonomy policy and meeting the objectives of solidarity and those of merit.
Secularism . There is a strong component of popular thinking Catholic who has always supported the autonomy of politics from religion and not compromise level with that of the religious dialectic between the parties. Thanks to this component of the legitimacy of political parties (political parties) has never been questioned, and attempts to formation of a Catholic state and therefore not pluralistic were blocked. Yet the attempts made in important areas of the Church in the second post / war had been of great importance. Doubt remains about the DC you save the secular spirit of the Constitution on the specific point and to have conveyed the same electoral consensus in favor of democracy, when he could orient themselves in the face of a prestigious presence (for a variety of reasons at the time was out of the question : and is recognized by an authoritative history) of Chiesa su versanti filo/autoritari.
Ricuperare questa tradizione dopo averla riconosciuta, anziché limitarsi a valutare la funzione anti/comunista del partito di cattolici, significa concorrere alla fondazione di una laicità indispensabile alla vita delle istituzioni democratiche e significa cogliere la componente filo/costituzionalista della D.C. anche dopo la Costituente, nonostante la caduta di stile in alcuni passaggi della storia repubblicana. Certo si tratta forse di una componente minoritaria nella presenza dei cattolici nella vita politica: minoritaria, ma culturalmente più cospicua e, per diversi aspetti vincente.
Solidarietà e merito . Anche qui so di ripetermi, ma siamo in presenza della questione più urgente. Troppi ritengono ancora che la solidarietà significhi egualitarismo: su questi presupposti non si arriva ad alcuna convergenza e ad alcuna identità di un partito riformista di sinistra.
Inviterei i difensori dello spirito e della lettera della Carta costituzionale a rivedere l’importanza ed i compiti che dalle nostre istituzioni viene data alla promozione del merito come essenziale ai rapporti di solidarietà; li inviterei a tener conto delle possibilità date a tutti se i capaci e meritevoli sono messi a servizio della nazione.
Di qui nascono obiettivi essenziali e programmi coerenti per una presenza riformista ed innovativa. In caso contrario resta inutile la critica, in sé giusta, ad un governo che bistratta il sistema formativo, che permette organici di cattedre per trentacinque allievi, che sopprime di fatto le borse di studio (l’ineffabile Maria Stella, ossequiente e fedele al ministro del Tesoro!), che taglia la già esigua risorsa della ricerca (e qui sì che ci sono anche responsabilità di tanti governi democristiani) che manda a spasso i giovani in tutti i rami della cultura (ed ovviamente non solo!).
Non c’è alternativa: o si promuove la ricerca ed una formazione attenta ai risulti della ricerca o non si diventa competitivi, a fronte di una globalizzazione che apre ai mercati internazionali solo se migliori degli altri; qualcuno propone di alzare le barriere!
Il Partito democratico, sullo specifico, è in grado di una proposta capace di programmi di governo? Per ora non abbiamo visto nulla: l’unica preoccupazione, al livello nazionale, ma anche a quello locale attiene gli assetti di potere, uniti a confluenze trasformistiche scandalose.
