White Fog Lights A Good Idea?

københavn

as you may have read in these days Copenhagen summit on climate change is failing ... and then I can not fail to be published this appeal, which I invite you to subscribe to:

Tomorrow world leaders meet to launch unprecedented 60-hour trading. Experts say that without a huge wave of protest and public pressure, the summit will fail to halt the catastrophic increase in global temperature of 2 degrees.

Click below to sign the petition for a real deal in Copenhagen - the campaign has already attracted 11 million supporters - we do in the next 72 hours it becomes more impressive the petition in history! Each name will read it aloud at the summit - the signature in the link below!

http://www.avaaz.org/it/save_ copenhagen/97.php? Cl_tta_sign = 766babef0b2dc1299be35e15c6287d ba

A Avaaz team is gathering daily at the summit with negotiators who will also organize a spectacular delivery of petitions to world leaders when they arrive, building a giant wall with boxes of petitions and reading aloud the names of every person who signed the petition. Faced with the petition of the most impressive history, the leaders will have no doubt that the whole world is keeping an eye on them.

Millions of people watched TV yesterday in the wake at the summit organized by Avaaz Copenhagen, in which Archbishop Desmond Tutu told hundreds of delegates and children:

"march on Berlin and the wall fell.
"We marched to South Africa and apartheid fell.
" Now we march in Copenhagen - and we get a real deal. "

In Copenhagen we are looking for the biggest mandate in history to stop the most serious threats that humanity has ever faced. The next day I write the story. How our children will remember this historic moment? We tell them that we have done everything possible.

come hanno scritto sul sito dell'università di Copenhagen: HOPENHAGEN o NOPENHAGEN??

Used Zumex Juicers For Sale On Ebay

the kitchen moves ....


... sono almeno tre volte che scrivo questo post e ogni volta gate ....
's cooking pies & pastries moves and moves completely inside envelopes surprise , which until now constituted as a partnership issue, but now became final on cooking blog, for a duet collaboration is more challenging, because I think it's more interesting to have one blog that many did well managed with difficulty, because I like how he is making this blog ... cakes & pies and maybe in the meantime is inspired look, stretches, and can be reassembled with other things ... who knows?!? the idea that I blend in the brain is to recast all three (p & p, surprise bags, and readings in the kitchen) and making them into something unique with thematic pages .... a bit 'as if they had a website and three blogs ... (Already read the other hand in the kitchen was born like that!).
meanwhile, for the kitchen, see you there!

leave you with this video, concert Guccini of that I went to see a few days ago (this intense period!), finished the concert with his fists to the beat of "La locomotive"! (On the other hand we were in Livorno ....;-)).

Free Movies In Spanish Online

pictures this year ...

has already been a year ... and then we're back in the area World Press Photo and, therefore, Lucca Digital Photo Fest , who has just finished (and I went there just the last day!).
The World Press Photo, in the case of photo journalism in the previous year, it's always a slap in the face .... I have not had a chance to see a year where there were atrocities .... I must say that there are pictures that leave me with his mouth open, because with few elements and without slamming into the face of stark reality, we can give all the information without attacking.
To get an idea here you can see all the winners (unfortunately there is no other way to see them!)



Among the current exhibitions to my surprise I liked it very much that of Richard Avedon! I am surprised because I knew him as a photographer Avedon linked to the world of fashion, and then to a certain type of photography.
In fact, we worked for 50 years, so much of its production is related to this industry, then worked on the great names of cinema (Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and many others) and other industries (Karen Blixen, Henry Kissinger, Eisenhower, The Beatles, Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon...), certo, apportando innovazioni rivoluzionarie: grazie a lui le indossatrici non erano più solo degli oggetti immobili, alla stregua di appendiabiti, ma persone, che vivono in una determinata epoca, che, se vogliamo, in un certo qual modo la documenta, perché Avedon porta le proprie modelle in strada e le fa muovere, passando così dalla foto statica a quella dinamica, dalla modella alla persona reale (attenzione: parliamo ancora degli anni '50-'60!)

What I did not know is that at some point Avedon had "broken" with the world of fashion and, in 1995, the New Yorker published a work called "In memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort. A fable by having Richard, "that somehow puts all his work into question also, because what it represents is a story with two characters clearly opposed, on one hand the beauty of a model as Nadja Auermann the other a skeleton and disturbing, wanting to emphasize the decline, even choose the sets that do nothing but accentuate them. short, a strong representation of the vacuity of the fashion world!
What most impressed us is how he managed to make even a skeleton of expression through the postures, clothing, shots ....

Instead, what "I can not explain is how, despite fierce criticism, he has been able to have carte blanche from the designers who have put available to their clothes .... I dare say a demonstration of great respect!
Wanting to see all the work you can click here (editing is not beautiful, but at least the pictures are not cut!).

Gay Nightlife In Columbus Ga

remember them in elementary school?


I do not know if you were coming harassed in elementary school with classes on food additives, such as avoiding , because they were evil and so on, or if my teacher was particularly enlightened .... but even if you were like me, I challenge anyone to remember those who were indicted!
(and then in the meantime the water has passed under the bridge ....)
I, of having allergies, I used to read the labels of what I buy, that A piece of meat, cheese or a frozen one, I read everything from top to bottom, and sometimes I drop an eye on the presence of additives (identified by E and a number 3 or, more rarely, 4 digits) ... the weirdest thing that happens to me is that by asking salespeople generally do not know what to answer, even if you find the representative of that firm specific, that there is paid by them to promote their products .... falls from the clouds!
Quindi, visto che non mi ricordo mai quali sono da evitare e quali no e, in ogni caso, mi rifiuto di mangiare cose piene di additivi visto che molti medici associano la nostra dieta (oltre all'inquinamento) all'insorgere di malattie autoimmuni (quindi tutto ciò che ha a che vedere con il sistema immunitario, dalle semplici intolleranze alle tiroiditi di hashimoto... passando da tutto il resto!), li evito tutti.
In realtà è più difficile da dirsi che da farsi, ma come al solito un primo periodo di "allenamento" è duro e necessario, perché inizialmente sembra tutto off-limits (!), poi, individuati i prodotti buoni ci abitueremo, al supermercato come altrove, a non vederli nemmeno i prodotti cattivi sugli scaffali!
Ma.... esiste un ma! Noi ingenui crediamo che esista il buono e il cattivo, il bianco e il nero.... e a volte ci scordiamo che così come nelle cose belle anche qui esiste un'ampia varietà di grigi che non ci dobbiamo scordare.... ovvero: anche nel biologico e nel biodinamico sono ammessi gli additivi!!!!
Tutt'altra cosa rispetto al convenzionale, ovvio, si parla di 50 additivi contro i circa 350 concessi nel convenzionale... e poi, a ben guardare, rimanendo tra i grigi ci sono additives are not harmful? and then, as we have to move?
Behold, I will stop here because I do not have answers, I will avoid it, tout court, but I often wondered if there was a way to choose more consciously ... and maybe if there were no natural additives that can be allowed!

So when he called me the other day IZN and asked, hesitant, if I was interested doing with resonance on Exit Matt's book written Giannattasio and Carmen Rucabado Romero additives must say who broke open port non ... wide open! But I want to specify something because lately I take a drift to the blog that I really like this do not buy anything, do it because we like to share what they "discover" and / or learn and the discovery in this case coincides with the publication of a book by a doctor who specializes on food allergies and on the specific issue of food quality and health of consumers ... on which he teaches courses and seminars that could follow IZN and we talked about here and here, and an ophthalmologist specialized nutrition as a factor in prevention of eye diseases .
Well ... how not to talk about? I personally have received an excerpt of the book and it seems very interesting and well structured, after an introduction on what are they, what are the permissible daily doses (ADI) and their usefulness, it follows an additive allowed in organic farming and Biodynamic, Regulation of the European community, then go see how to remove them from your diet or how to delete some specific and, finally, a nice guide on additives are analyzed one by one, indicating the license number, the common name (because otherwise it is given the name does not recognize them anymore!), the use made of it and the degree of toxicity, with a very understandable language, so read even for people like me! ;-)
What can I say more? The plow, which is published by editions and that you buy it online on their site, here .

Good reading e. .. good shopping!

Leaf Blower Mccullough

a house in the middle


Come la coppia Cambogiana che l'anno scorso veniva citata dai giornali per l'originale separazione (tra cui quella letterale della casa), io vorrei separarmi dai miei vicini lasciando un vuoto laddove c'era la mia di case....
A più voci, chi privatamente, chi sul blog, mi chiedete dove sono scomparsa e allora una piccola risposta ve la dovrò pur dare... o no? ;-)
I fatti sono questi: come più volte has transpired in these pages I have big problems with my neighborhood, there probably because they do not tolerate framed and classified with them, who would all approved as much as possible (same mats at the gates, bells on the same labels, same type of furniture from garden, etc. .. just because they can not afford to even decide what furniture can be put inside the house or what days we can hang out the washing ....)... and not having the courage, I say, perhaps not even aware of their "smallness," say nothing to us but if you refer to animals, causing them to become the problem. I omit the details, one for all to demonstrate just how unintelligent: one of these (In total 3) we play every time the cat moves from her garden .... I said and I stress "passing" ... I did not say "making hole"!
And this is the lesser evil compared to what they and others do or threaten to do.
Without this small engraved we can get what keeps me away.

In my GAS we found to be different to look for a house (well, yes, what did you expect? fighting against the windmills? I know it's only a year and a half that we dress, we made a loan for 15 years and we thought we'd been ... but we can hope for a change?) for which we have coordinated and we thought of a bigger project: a village in green building, possibly with co-housing solutions more or less strict depending on personal choices, which are intended not only to energy self-sufficiency but also food, so the group there are those who, in addition all'orticello private, would set up a farm.
Common to all then maybe there will be a small house with common rooms, such as a lathe, a large room for meetings and / or dinners (since all / and we are part of groups including, of course, the GAS), perhaps a kitchen for our courses and seminars on self, a children's room, a laundry room. ...
The project is, in my opinion, great, if you ever manage to find the right soil and if, simultaneously, was also building .... you say, we are asking too much?
We also involved our town, which we hope will help us to achieve all this, which is not only a beautiful private experience, but a pilot project to be proposed for other reality!
In short, you will understand that this requires commitment and energy in abundance ... in my spare time I am going to land, to ask if they sell, to discuss with the town, to visit companies that make the criteria of green building, and soon, to visit the houses they built .... and then we meet and talk ... talk ... we speak .... trying to find intelligent solutions to the problems we are facing.
Well, the experience is very exciting, even if you were to come ad una conclusione tangibile sicuramente tutto questo ci avrà fatto crescere sotto molti aspetti.
Per cui, abbiate pazienza, appena uscirò dall'occhio del ciclone sarò di nuovo qui, a condividere con voi tutti i miei esperimenti in cucina (uno per tutti: sto trasformando la mia pasta madre in pasta madre liquida seguendo le indicazioni di IZN .... per cui ci aspetta sicuramente un futuro pieno di novità! @ IZN: grazie di esistere!!!)

Best Way To Clean A Antuzzi Leather Sofa

it's raining cats and dogs

no, in realtà oggi non rains, in fact, the weather remains good for several days now, but in general animal raining here!
as I had already told here but here in this area happen to us every now and then abandoned animals ... I think they understood that there is always someone who picks them up and take advantage of ... last of these Gilda, who, almost at the same time a turtle, arrived in the rain a little more a month ago ...
in the meantime, we searched far and wide in the home but apparently was not destiny, and so, despite the neighborhood, despite what we complicate life considerably, Gilda has remained with us and now ... that must one do ??... there is!
obviously there is nothing left to do but find another home, because here the situation is unmanageable ... but that's another story.

here are the beasts:


Selva, the first- cat (in all senses), and despotic character, from the top of the fridge (and yes the photo is not wrong and the fridge to be rounded!), check what is the latest arrival, ready to make her understand that it is not welcome .... but sooner or later will pass! indeed, it is actually already going!


Pistone, the sweetest cat we have, after some days of jealousy realized that no one overlook, so now plays with Gilda and chasing far and wide .....


e infine Gilda, che ha finalmente conquistato il letto e, come si può notare, non ha assolutamente intenzione di mollarlo!

Questo per dirvi che sono diventati 3... che continuo malgrado questo a cucinare per loro (malgrado qualche momento di disperazione in cui non ne potevo più... perché in 3 le pappe finiscono alla velocità della luce) e che, come si può vedere, stanno tutti benone.... visto che ogni tanto qualcuno/a me lo chiede.

read about and things that have nothing to do with the kitchen, look here ... is spectacular

What Does My Mouth And Throat Look Like?

brands


not I told you lately that it was in the Marches, to be exact, a couple of weeks ago. We were in the area of \u200b\u200bCamerino, home to the University, only to see it, that immediately comes to mind .... Well, me and the other half we decided that we will do in the next life at the University of Camerino, perhaps to decide now we are sure to re-meet!
What struck us: we ate very well, mushrooms, truffles, the famous ciauscolo (a spreadable salami ....), the fresh pecorino cheese, goat cheese seasoned, grilled trout with truffle (!!!), drunk as well and here the list is long: from Rosso Conero to Lacrima di Morro d'Alba , from Rosso Piceno, the Vernaccia di Serrapetrona , Verdicchio dei Castelli Jesi and to Matelica .... and why leave out the localissimo Mistrà then? today known as Varnelli , an anise liqueur, wanting very similar to Pastis and it is consumed in the same way (pure, diluted in water or in cocktails ...), but especially in the Marches, unlike Tuscany, the countryside is very urbanized, so there are these endless landscapes with some cottage here and there, and not full of roads, expressways, highways, towns and cities .... are cultivated fields, but very little anthropo-smothered ... I coined this term and the time for which it is not clear just ask.
Finally, cities, countries, are very beautiful, often kept medieval town centers, and very tortuous, with poor access to the machines ....
well ... I do not think there's much more to add, I think there are beautiful areas and the Marche, Umbria and Tuscany represent an extraordinary example, the Marches have perhaps an advantage, but I do not know how long, are still little tourist that are still very little free-range and counterfeiting.

Period Is Late White Stringy Discharge

post cabbage: pumpkin Sigrid



Today is an important day ... indeed, that most important: to write a date on the calendar ... now it will be available " the book of cabbage " Sigrid! (See also here )
and then as a great wish good luck if you do not publishing a recipe for cabbage (ha) or? So here is the proposal to will which we are publishing, across a recipe that somehow the concerns as unfounded for many / and this is only our thanks to you that we have discovered the world blogs, but also that cooking is fun, passion, research, creativity .... and then here I am, with my recipe taken verbatim from his blog and reproduced in the night (just now comes steaming from the oven, from which the little care in the presentation, but it's really good !!!!):

honey roasted pumpkin (with polenta)


1.3 kg Pumpkin
700 gr potato
10 shallots
4 cloves of garlic
2 sprigs of rosemary
10-15 sage leaves
4 bay leaves
2 ctav honey (chestnut I)
ctav of 3 Oil
1 lemon
salt


Clean pumpkin, without removing the skin, cut into small pieces (apparently a trick to it always be good and sweet is to remove all the existing internal part filamentous, without fear) and put in a pan. Wash the potatoes and cut into pieces, even those without peeling them (if they are just bio clean with a brush).
Peel the shallots and cut into chunks, then put the garlic its peel and herbs.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, oil, salt and lemon juice, then spread this sauce over the vegetables and bake at 220-230 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

The original plate is expected that these are accompanied by a gorgonzola polenta, definitely good choice ... But I can not eat gorgonzola cheese puzzolentissimo would opt for a goat!
Have no fear: the skin of the cooked pumpkin is great!

SIGRID GOOD LUCK! and thanks for these wonderful gifts to us every day ;-)

kitchen?? what are we talking about?



I know, I'm not posting anything that is related in some way to the kitchen, it's true, but billions of things I would have to be published ... are also able to produce its own tofu not from soy milk, soy, but the yellow! I baked bread in the show, I finally found the dough (which, combined, is the nephew of mine) that I'm a new bakery with great pleasure and experimenting with new recipes, new ways of making bread .... "Stealing" from IZN information and inspiration (it is a myth .. that makes us want ?!?), or glory any ideas on ingredients add (now the bread with dried apricots and walnuts) ... this woman drives me crazy, let me tell you, and I also have the good fortune of being in its own gas and to run a blog with her, so we often see and organize together on baking days, courses natural cooking, sweet days on, on self of seitan, tofu .... think of open sites, in other words those who stop us??


but in all that I can, either: a) delete the photos on the production of tofu without first saving them from any part, b) do not find time to post an intelligent post, well, given my ability to ultimately be enough ... not too stupid, c) did not find anything interesting of all the recipes stored, often because they are now out of season d) thousands, thousands of other stimuli that distract me from what I should write, e) be willing to talk about something else ....
and this time something different is not a video, although I would have one that amuses me a world to show you ... but it will be the subject of another post insane, now atteniamoci the theme of this .... image is always instill.
" La Repubblica" newspaper know that weather information was a newspaper that did? here, that I often read it online, not because they are necessary for the survival of information genere umano (che tanto quello... ho deciso che la salvezza è la sua estinzione!), ma perché ogni tanto ha dei link particolarmente interessanti... e questo è il caso.
L'altro giorno ho trovato le foto che trovate in questo post, sono una più bella dell'altra... se avete tempo e voglia andate a vedere le altre qui , meritano davvero!

Asked By Marian Zetta

arrived autumn



è arrivato (finalmente) l'autunno, è arrivato il primo freddo, i campi arati, le foglie morte, le sciarpe e i cappelli, i primi raffreddori, i gatti coccoloni, il risveglio della pasta madre (sìììì!!!!), le torte salate, i biscotti, le gite domenicali al mare a catturare un ultimo raggio di sole, le fredde serate al cinema, le serate al calduccio intorno a un tavolo con gli amici...


per me l'autunno è tutto questo.... e siccome l'autunno mi fa pensare a queste due mie vecchie foto ve le pubblico con il testo di una delle canzoni francofone più belle che io conosca, per me cantata da Juliette Gréco:


LES FEUILLES MORTES
lyrics Jacques Prevert

Oh, I so want you to remember
happy days when we were friends
at that time where life was more beautiful,
and the sun brighter than today
leaves are collected with the shovel
You see I did not Forgot ...

The dead leaves gather on the rake,
memories and regrets also
and the north wind carries them
in the cold night of oblivion .
You see I have not forgotten
the song you sang to me.

is a song that resembles us
you, you loved me and I loved
and we lived both together
you who loved me, I who loved you
But life separates those who love
quietly, without make noise
and the sea erases on the sand
the footsteps of separated lovers.

(The dead leaves gather on the rake,
memories and regrets also
but my silent love and faithful
always smiles and thank life
I loved you so much, you were so pretty,
how do you think I ' forget?
in those days were more beautiful life,
and the sun brighter than today
you were my sweetest friend
but I do regret that
and the song you sang to me
toujours, toujours je the entendrai!)
