Wheels That Fit On A Razor Pro Model For Sale

Walk along Viale Jenner_parte2

Oh, finally a good full parish on Sunday morning! It will be for the transition from the shadows of the entrance to the brightness of you has a new look but you feel the holiday in full. Take place among some ladies for whom I serve as a companion to his nephew Sunday service and before I begin the celebration I look around and I am struck by the complexity of the internal space, articulated with the proper tools of architecture: the solid mass, the balance of support thin, light, ... I am convinced that, far beyond what I could find near the exit Metro something really nice I've already found. Later, with the clinical eye will review this wonderful space. Very little goes a bit since my plaything 'by observing the classroom and began the celebration. They come in a procession accompanied by the choir that I see at the bottom, sheltered on the right, the priest, two deacons, altar boys and a troop of six children, some with red hair, those kinky and dark, some with almond eyes, etc.. with the candles in hand. My classmate while "How many children today, eh?" "Ah, is a good sign." The liturgy is bright, participated. The children, who are to make their first confession, read some posts at the foot of the chancel floor in which recall some of their shortcomings and gradually extinguish the candles, then went to the chapel where working together will read the readings and went to confession. Then returned the gifts, after the priest gently and kindly in his homily resume the theme of conversion and reconciliation. Rekindle the lights, dropping them at the foot of the altar around which sat on the ground will shake. And when, during the deacons will distribute Communion the consecrated bread, the celebrant at the altar will be paying attention is given to the children divided into two groups, even small, do not participate in the eucharistic table. A few celebrations I have appeared in recent months so alive and meaningful. Among the final warning the pastor also recalled that in the afternoon you can join a guided tour of the church organized by the Polytechnic and it almost surprises me and I certify its value, so to speak. From another point of view, I lit on the preciousness of the day: I leave the house taking a vague direction, and I let myself be guided by the desire to Milan to see a more modest and humble, I happen to have a beautiful contemporary church, just in a week when I'm an architect reflecting on the theme of sacred space, live a joyful Mass and I am also organized the visit. What else? After the celebration be a bit 'to my desk and then pinning a few lines that I wanted to Her (the test to see if there are successful and know if you liked this reading). In back of the church greeted the pastor and deacons and the faithful in the end I myself stepping stone and go out. Having not yet finished pinning everything I sit on a wall of the parish complex and continuous with the sun mitigated the cold of the day.
Meanwhile, I seem to be in the country ... groups of people who huddle, guys like these, the old man with the dog that passes and stops close to the children, supervised by their mothers so that they can caress the animal ... ...

Then the shouting and clear but do not believe it cries ... syncopated, net calls and the sound of trampled earth. A few yards away, on Via Catone, between the blind wall of a house and the rectory the inevitable game of soccer. In the Maghreb

field all-star (and under the supervision of a qualified referee!)

The integration is now a done deal.



PS The church is the church of San Giovanni e Paolo Pollini and the arch.Figini

How Long Can Travellers Stay In One Place

Walk along Viale Jenner_parte1

Milan. Sunday. I wake up in the cold. Dark stripe in the house from the lights that filter through the slats of blinds. Slowly and quietly, for people sleep outside of a library-partition, hurry up the practices of the sunrise and go out for a morning tour.
's time to expand the knowledge of the city over the route from home to work and the Cathedral. I do not want the usual routes. I take the newspaper and go on the subway, and after a stroke with the red line, the Duomo, take the yellow and runs through until the end, until Maciachini. A few words heard in the office a few weeks ago about the presence some architecturally interesting new building already was enough to decide the destination.
exit of the subway does not see anything significant, and perhaps walk a few steps in the distance, as I guess some coverage that could be worthy. In the fast patrol the square to read but also the name Maciachini Viale Edoardo Jenner: the famous Viale ever to hit the headlines for the Islamic cultural center that is housed there and for, now transferred, community prayers on Friday. It is no coincidence that on that day in La Repubblica, Milan section, there is a page dedicated to the theme. I have not escaped either, as they arrive in meters Article Ilvio of Diamonds "How factory insecurity" that sought to orient the eye of the reader on the relationship between media-perception of crime and safety issues for which I refer also to the service- jewel of Faith .
Viale Jenner is broad, tree-lined, light filters, the bars are open, ... why not take it?
The bar was actually one of my small concern. I still have breakfast. By nell'Alex and Franz and coffee with a croissant. In the event that for a moment I forgot where I was walking in the city, the bar follow the commentary of the match victory for Inter, the postponement of night before with Juventus that saw share with keen interest the bartender, who actually would have preferred a draw by AC Milan. Such is the interest that I have to pay to get myself noticed. On the other hand, how can you not stop to reconsider the finalization of the mistakes that Ibrahimovic is the sacramentùn and the fat has a number ...
continue on Viale Jenner Islamic cultural centers with a view to nothing but what you find not expected. Middle-aged ladies with Awake! in hand. I have to pick up the pace. Go ahead and, when crossing a side street, around the eyes right and fifty yards I see a brick building not very high but solid. I am curious, maybe it can be a church, and since I did not want to go home until you have participated in the Mass I approach. I begin to fear the worst. And if it was a "Kingdom Hall"? Within a few minutes I would find it flooded with pamphlets and Watchtowers . In a little shabby, and even grab the phone and convinced me to get closer to your ear so you have an excuse ready to tell me busy. I just believe it and I'm ashamed to simulate a real call. Who knows, maybe they are the same even so credible. I am one of those who listen without interrupting. It may be, no? At the end proves to be a true church, fascinating nell'involucro blind red brick exterior that describe a complex interplay of volumes. Through a narthex in the shade in the classroom within the liturgy.

Koolhaas and the market crisis

A few quick notes for which I would like the license of the approximation:

about 15:40 pm, Aula De Carli Durando of the Campus of the Politecnico di Milano (Bovisa). Rem Koolhaas on the occasion of the presentation day of the OMA's masterplan for the packed courtroom Bovisa offers a little lesson.
introduces us with a reflection often played showing a greek colonnade and telling us how the architecture was representative of the past and shared a common feeling of a civilization ... but then shows a map of the world with only three written above: Y, €, $. The market is what it is now. And here here is running an overview of what the market determine the success and what it represents: the original, the extravagant, the spectacular, the brand, the trademark that cages become what the media system adopted as "large," Libeskind, Gehry, Zaha Hadid, ... and here are photomontages that mountain "oggettoni" luxury to form a skyline of exception. Here are pictures of the new frontier where these "dreams" land, Dubai.
Afterwards, however, the ideal image that is visible on the skyline above the sands of the UAE is ideal overlay, to use a familiar terminology, the graph of the number of Nasdaq, Nikkei, ... the collapse of the market! The crisis! And if the market falls? The skyline will turn black.
It resets this type of architecture.
At least this is the prophecy that Koolhaas, just when you first take a break to drink a glass of water, seems to recall the historicity of the moment, seconded by heat, those taking part. Students for the most part.
resets and starts again as did not happen for at least a decade (or decades?). For an architect or a novice student a bell'incoraggiamento.
Is there anything to say now.

Now I let go with less mastery and a little bit with the slogan Some argued for freedom of thoughts in a few days ago that in turn they resumed more ... but always revolved around the real estate market.
"The house is a good thing." "The house is a safe investment." "The brick is reliable." But it is also a primary need.
... I read an article from a newspaper that described the market collapse and devaluation of Milan talking so alarmed. It 's so scary? I do not think so.
Although the house is primarily a need, an essential point on which to build their relationships, their daily lives and can afford to be there to be a privileged means to make easy money? To enable idle annuities?
Think about those images a bit to the "Leopard" for those who enjoy fruit and immense prestige property and land every day and earn a little disdain even if treated. And think of the agrarian reform, which always sought to rent places the needs of others. And think of the real estate assets, including children, who has a park-case that allows him to collect at each end of the month with little effort certainly.
And if the brick is a good investment means that the value grows, grows, grows, up to a situation like the present where he lost a credible relationship with the actual average purchasing power. The rent is the solution? Not really. Try to see the monthly fees? The rent then it is often paid by those who have to confront, for study, work, with more mobility ... often very active and then by categories to help, because productive or potentially (if the economy the focus of our thoughts), but not vital for society rather than by squeezing from a professional who collects and stores later this month.
I will not seize anything to anyone but ... Leaving more mature reflections interrupt any further interventions.
If someone with strong powers to intervene would be well.

"Prisoner of Facebook" Excellent journalism

In Sunday's Il Sole 24 Ore was an article by Andrea Bajan who ironically spoke of her personal approach and experience of living with the fashionable mania (or maybe not so fleeting) of Facebook.
clearly that this too there with my face, my photos and some of my data. Are not an ideological opponent of this communication system because, after all, paid little attention to the care of my space.

the way, the article went like this:
" For weeks, meeting only desperate people telling me they want out of Facebook but fail to do so. They say it with eyes wide open and the expression of those seeking help from behind the bars of a prison. It seems to me that prisoners who scream from down there, put their arms beyond the bars to stir the air. [...]" Read more

Colloidal Silver Cure Bv



reading a few lines taken from a few days ago a long account of the voyage of the first English writer Vita Sackville-West '900 called me back to a delayed commitment. I had promised myself, in fact, to comment on a video (see below) segnalatomi from a friend some time ago and an association of ideas lightning has served me the opening words: you run after the dogs barking.
In a passage from the book reads:

" The peasants raised their heads at the sight of a stranger, as the tourists were glued to the tombs and temples, and turned to the fields. When you stop and look, straighten the bent over and the wheat compare their blue shirts. In the villages, barking dogs running toward you, and hordes of children sprang from nowhere, with the facets smiling, outstretched hands and bare feet crawling in the dust. "

we are in Egypt, near Luxor, and with these words tells you the freedom to move and curiosity. Just before it is written

" I liked from the road to enter the region of the country life. "

I found, as a reader, instant affinity with Sackville-West as it will pass the entire holiday to wander from the road to get lost in that region. And really happy, but with the fear that dogs free Squarcina this idyll. I confess that the calming serenity of a rural way endorse the fear of dogs that I consider a dangerous stranger.
But while admitting that there may be the sense that I would spread alarm in an irrational and the scarecrow, with only perhaps to my fixations, of beasts who are always ready to bite?

And if it did, in his own way, a television journalist devoting time and energy to frighten the public and indignant with the spectrum of the degradation and violence?
watch the video that accompanies this post and if, like me, you know Venice well enough to enjoy the essay journalism harmful and unhealthy Emilio Fede.
describe the quiet you can hear your steps when walking at night in Venice when the city is empty, the natural serenity of this island and the absolute peace that reigns there until the early hours of the day may be too challenging for groped now. With what eyes instead
journalist looks at this reality? With those of the stereotype of the shady and sensationalism.

Emilio, you would not want food, to use a slogan of success, a sense of insecurity? Or play with the fears of those who look at the world through the eyes of television? In addition to
do not know that good information does not help me and those like me who have the "problem" of mavericks for the campaign. Although they look like their owners and that live, through osmosis, their moods and their employers feel constantly in danger, warning and anxious ...
... want to bite sooner or later there is a need for security at home?

The books that I have not written

browsing in a bookstore one of these days you find yourself in the hands of the books that do not exist or rather a book that contains some. E '" The books that I have not written " by George Steiner. The French writer and essayist, says that for reasons other seven books he never wrote. Now, as Umberto Eco, ironically rancorous, presentation in Milan of the book, the author's presence, accused him of being a plagiarist with his ten years in advance, too, much more humbly, I feel cheated out of the originality of a book that lives and grows between my head and scattered notebooks.

a step back. When curiosity is encouraged about the "Read more" commonly emerges in many of us. When you have the intellectual stature, the media then, and the necessary interest in the topic is investigated to be able then to communicate with one publication the results of the studies. But who forbids us that we would not have sufficient capacity or the consistency that evaporated the joy of the beginning and took over during fatigue, it may get us to satisfy ourselves with the perfect ending for the good intentions ideals.

How many themes that have intrigued? Or those who, for mysterious affinity, periodically resurface and remind us of? And then, how many times he rocked the secret aspiration to be the more deeply in something, to be an authority on the subject, to be the touchstone?
May be just the story of the building from the early '20s onward, but it is a satisfaction!
What is universally recognized as a sign of legitimacy in this sense, if not a good name written on the cover of a book?
Who did you write, you will recognize, he did it in the game because of the culture that is more than a pawn in others will have to consider, because it has also believed to play legitimately, because he wants to preserve its territory and that is its citadel, because other laws etc..

But back to us, to us that now we can only raise this possibility, why not start with the exercise more fun? What are the books you'd like to write?

Would not "you wanted" because you still have time.
