Do Women Like Men With Shaved Genitals

vs Engineering. Calculations


The season of the football business is resumed today with a brand new game. While still waiting for all the return match vs. heavy. light, the unexpected challenge was launched by the design department, who called the game as vs. engineering. calculations. Hamlet is a doubt over all calculations, but we're not even engineering?? Whatever it is, this is the title of the challenge has been consigned to history.

Engineers include renowned players in their ranks as Poorman, Land, Abba, Mulf , attending the most prestigious business competitions. The calculations instead have had to jump through hoops to find 8 players needed to fill the arena, but for the first time buried the hatchet of war between light and heavy. The scene is moving: all calculations, united by the common threat of enemy , decide to submit a single formation, such as the Olive Tree. Membership of the team the ubiquitous Michel de Plus, Pino Calabro, Charles Blanc, and finally Arcuri and Ariosto, for the first time allies (but not for long). Completing the team of two young Spring St. Mauro-please-for-us, Marion and Luke . Absent Manuelito instead, engaged in the final for the 30 th -31 th place in the tournament of his favorite sport tribal. Castelberg also unavailable and the Architect.

The game is pulled from the first minute. The usual de Plus opened the scoring coolly slipping the door for engineers and finally demonstrating clarity and physical condition. The engineers, however, they recover quickly, and grinding speed are a challenge to play in the rear of the calculations being able to score three consecutive markings. On the other side instead directed by Charles allows calculations to bring the situation back in a tie, a situation that continues on long after the score of 4-4 .

After so many balls-wrong goal, following a prolonged action on the group can Arcuri Marion to serve a ball into the center of the box: and then time stops. The field turns for a seventh time in an English stadium. But yes, the situation is clear! We are at Wembley, and is the 1966 World Cup final! Geoff Hurst is about to kick a German sports car to the door. Marion kicks with all his might, but hit the crossbar and the ball bounces on the ground . E 'goal? It 's out? The doubt remains. History does not repeat itself but always the same: this time there is a linesman to validate the goal. The action therefore continues with the protests of the calculations that swear for the nth goal.

In the last minutes of the match neither team able to than the other. The referee ends, but the contestants decide to continue action to end with a tie that does not annoy everyone. And that's when Ariosto, unexpectedly, in the shade for the rest of the game due to the bad combination of colors of his estate orange-blue-green, can not find the goal with an action on the left. It 's the goal of victory! And the end of the game.

fact, not really ... engineers call with a surge of pride at being able to play another 5 minutes. After a brief consultation, the request is received by sporting calculations, which now take advantage of their decision: After less than a minute in fact able to take a great goal on the counterattack. At that point the game is once again uncertain, and most seem to really over.

And instead of the field makes Marion what previously had taken away: yet again, as Hurst in '66, served on the left guess the last minute of the game corner door with a shot of tip.

"They think it's all over ... And it is now!"

This is the end of the match (for real). The calculations have beaten the engineers.




Interviews

Engineers (in chorus) : the field sucked, it was too hot, the rubber is glued to the shoes, the last goal was offside, it was too warm, the moon was the conjunction with Mercury, etc.. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

De Plus : I am pleased with the race. I finished on the same leg on which I started.

Arcuri : Neh that was the goal over the crossbar, fi **!

Charles: The next time I bring more than two ...

Blanc: In how we played at the end? He played with the offside? One that is

Parallel Worlds

born in a place like mine immediately clear, since a child, that there are two worlds, different and parallel.

One of these is the world that appears in books and on television, however, is not a fictional world, nor artificially picturesque, it is simply a world that exists, but elsewhere, in distant places and different. This world is populated by people who live in houses with red roofs near a river in their city's snowing profusely in winter, you make a snowman. During Christmas people are going to the mountains to ski, but crowded in spring green parks where children play on grass.


In real life however even the simplest images of this world are out of place. Even icon of home, with a pointed red roof, is invalid: the houses have a flat roof. There are rivers that pass around the city, or mountains to spend the winter holidays. The snow is rare and unpredictable to be remembered for posterity, the winter shows its power only by icy winds. There are no real parks, and playgrounds are made of concrete, or more, synthetic grass.

This situation threatened to create me a childhood schizophrenia. How could I draw a house with a triangular roof when I had a balcony? As it was done, that consistency was a snowman, since I had never seen snow? Why draw children playing in green when I was playing in the street on concrete and asphalt? But my teacher told me to draw pointed roofs, snowmen and green parks.

Something I did not come back, and for a long time, this dichotomy has caused me a long inner discomfort. Only years after I realized that there really mountains, rivers, parks and houses with pointed roofs. But then it was too late because I had already begun to feel that I would end up living in this world.

Medi vs.



For the day today was provided for the return match vs. Heavy . light, however, many defections have affected the normal course of the match, so that it was feared that the game could not run at all.

For lighter two key players were absent, Manuelito, injured during the playoffs of a sport, tribal and architect , hit by violent fever after having stayed discovered some important parts of the body. He made his debut in the light instead Castelberg directly from the famed stages of Carugate . Even in heavy

many absences, among all Ariosto, the Allobrogia fierce. Never change a winning team, but losing team is: many are heavy in the new grafts, to the point that shamelessly not hesitate to also use data elements "light" . Therefore, more correctly today's match is to be defined Medi vs. light.

The light start immediately with a fine goal to Arcuri in the first minutes. Seems to repeat the history of the last game, but this time the music is different. I mean they can quickly recover and overturn the result. After a few minutes, the liabilities in respect of light becomes heavy: 5-1.

chair at this time in our rooms Michel de Plus, so far ineffective. The captain tries to make the team by the hand, and he damns the soul to search for the goal. On a pass from behind the tow ball, unmarked, and despite the onrushing defender rolls a big right to the door: it's goal, but the action feels Michel a strong thick muscle of the femur. Michel was forced to quit cursing. While Michel's writhing in pain is the Madonna del Carmine .

-Sorry, Our Lady of Canneto was not there, I came ... does the same no?
-Si Lord, help me ...
-Michel, we have helped you once already, it's time you learn to moderate. Basically you have wives and kids at home ...
-Lady, but we can win!
-Michel Sorry, I can not help it. Go in the door a little and rested.

disappears in the usual black and white cloud, and no trace of Platini.

After this scene practically nothing happens, the teams are equal, but the advantage of the medium is now big enough to guarantee them victory. Among the surprises

performance Castelberg triggering a couple of dangerous actions after careful consideration of all eventualities game. Unfortunately, even after a few minutes Castelberg is forced out following an unorthodox parade, which marks the effective end of the match.

In conclusion, the new field does not carry well to the light, partly because they take all the players in the cleats of the shoes dell'erbetta half synthetic. If the players all lose, next week is expected (perhaps) the real match Heavy vs. light. In order Manuelito and Michel will travel tomorrow to the hospital in Suzzara.

INTERVIEWS

Castelberg : there is a role where you sweat?

Arcuri : hurry up and beat the throw, I've got another game in half an hour with the bus hijackers in Vercelli!


Michel : No comment.
[... I preferred the other Madonna ...]


Blanc: not received as usual. Metro in the right direction this time.

Memorial Wording For Wedding Programs

Light vs light. Heavy

Light vs. Heavy


was held today, in an infamous pitch on the outskirts of Turin, the first match of 2007 between the company calculated. The few or no spectators were given the opportunity to witness an epic clash: vs light. heavy. On the one hand, the lightness and speed, on the other ... the weight and nothing else.

The team of light you have a very flexible 2-1-1 (so to speak ...). The defense is composed of light and Arcuri Blanc, in midfield Manuelito, the fury red and attack an old acquaintance of football in Turin, l '(in) finite Michel de Plus . In goal, a rookie, a architect, including the revelations of the match.

The team wears a heavy coat of all-black , ideal for days when the sun is beating fast as today. Some of the heavy end of the race found themselves the words tattooed on his chest STRALIS , true index of attachment to the company. It is said that before the heavy has performed ritualistic war dance of the Maori Piedmont.

The reins of the match are picked up immediately by the light, with their leader, Michel, for the occasion, was released from work until six, which has not occurred since the last championship Bettega of Juventus with .

Michel, supported by the fury of Asturias , triggered by the dropping of the Hound of Trecate immediately gives his team the lead. It seems the heyday of Michel, when the only thing important to him was the balloon and the door in front of him. Within minutes, the light can obtain a substantial advantage over their opponents. The circumstances, however, are adverse. Accomplice

the terrible heat and lack of training, the light has a physical decline. Michel, in particular, suffers most of all: slumps to the ground and remains sprawled . The outcome of the game is in danger, the light does not seem to have more. But And then, as in all the games business, which is the true miracle: Michel appears Madonna del Canneto .

-Michel, Michel ...
-Lady ...
-Michel, it just never changes, you're not a kid ...
-Lady, what can I do, it's stronger than me ...- Michel says, through tears
-Do not worry, Michel, here is someone who can help.

then appears in the middle of a cloud a black and white silhouette, a shadowy figure, he whispers a few words with a vaguely French accent.

- PLATINI ! - Exclaimed Michel. And suddenly returning to his memory consignments at the port with his friends, took the scolding from his mother, the hours spent watching the matches of the Juve ...

- PLATINI ! - Again exclaimed Michel. But it's too late, the outline disappears. All I can see there is a number 10 who enters a stage of Serie A. ..

Michel then you look inside, and resumes, and how the golden days of Platini, scores a great goal with a nice diagonal .

The game ends with a dry victory of light . Next week is expected to return.

Winners the honor and glory.

the defeated ... Oh well, at least we offer a coffee?


INTERVIEWS:

Manuelito : This sport with their feet know much about animal . I was disappointed when they gave us three points for goal from outside the area of Arcuri.

Architect: I finally understood what a keeper :-) .... (Judge you)

Arcuri : bulls!

Michel : [I can not mention the conversation because I broke the keyboard h]

Blanc: not reached. At the end of the batch has just taken the subway nella direzione sbagliata.

Light vs. Heavy


In a small field in the badly renowned outskirts of Turin there has been today the first company football match among computationists. The few spectators had the chance to watch an epic game: light vs. heavy . On one side lightness and velocity, on the other side... only heaviness.

The light team plays with a very flexible (so to say) 2-1-1 scheme. The defence is made up by Arcuri and Blanc , at midfield Manuelito , the red fury, as forward an old acquaintance of Turin football, the (in)exhaustible Michel de Plus .

The heavy wear an all-black shirt, which is ideal for sunny days like today. At the end of the match some of the heavy have found a STRALIS tatoo on their chest, true sign of love for their company. It is said that before the game start the heavy played the ritual dance of Piedmontese maoris.

The game is led since the beginning by the light: their leader, Michel, for the special occasion got off from work before 6 pm, which has not happened since 1978.

Michel, aided by the fury of Asturies and the mastiff of Trecate gives the advantage to his team. He looks like the old Michel, when the only important thing for him was the ball and the goal in front of himself. Circumstances are adverse, though.

Due to great heat and poor training, the light have a physical breakdown. Michel suffers most: he falls onto the ground and lies weary on the field. The match result is in danger. And it is then, like in all matches among colleagues, that a miracle occurs: the Holy Virgin appears to Michel.
-Michel, Michel...
-Milady...
-Michel, you really never change, you are not a boy anymore...
-Milady, what can I do? It's stronger than me...- says Michel in tears
-Do not worry, Michel, here is somebody that can help you.

Then, among a white-black haze a silhouette appears, a dim figure, whispering some words with a vague French accent.

- PLATINI !- cries Michel. And he suddenly reminds all the games at the harbour with his friends, his mother rebuking him, the happy hours spent watching Juventus playing...

-PLATINI!- cries Michel again. But it is too late, the figure disappears. All he can see now is a number "10" entering a football stadium.

Michel looks then deep inside himself, and like Platini he scores a great goal with a diagonal shot .

The match ends with a definitive victory of the light team .

The return game is scheduled for next week.

Honour and glory to the winners.

And to the losers... don't you even offer us a coffee?

INTERVIEWS :

Manuelito : This sport played with feet sounds much like animal. I was disappointed when they didn't give us 3 points when Arcuri scored from out of the box.

Architetto : I have understood what a goalkeeper does, at last!

Arcuri, Michel : [I'd rather not translate that]

Blanc : no comment. At the end of the match he just caught the underground in the wrong direction.

Synergeyes Multifocal Cost

Homage to Catalonia


Ho appena finito di leggere "Omaggio alla Catalogna" di George Orwell , un libro bellissimo in cui l'autore narra le sue esperienze di miliziano durante la guerra civile in Spagna.

Orwell era andato in Spagna con l'intenzione di scrivere articoli sulla guerra, ma non potè fare a meno di prendervi parte attivamente, schierandosi con entusiasmo con i repubblicani nella milizia del POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificaciòn Marxista) .

La guerra civile scoppiò quando i militari guidati da Franco insorsero contro la repubblica, dopo che i partiti della sinistra avevano guadagnato la maggioranza nelle elezioni politiche del 1936.

Quando Orwell arrivò a Barcellona trovò una città in cui era in corso a social revolution. Factories and shops had been collectivized, formal expressions as "Don" and "Usted" abolished. Even in the military hierarchy had been abolished: all military paid the same wages, and who called the superior "Señor" was criticized. Despite appearances, this system seemed to work. We hear Orwell:

"The kind of discipline 'revolutionary' and democracy is more reliable than you might expect. In a workers 'army discipline is voluntary. E' class-based society, whereas in a bourgeois army of conscripts is based on fear. The militia bullying and insults on a regular regular army would not be tolerated even for a moment. "

In any case, the efficiency of the militia was not certain that the British army. One of the first words you learn from Orwell" mañana "(tomorrow) so it felt to respond to any request .

was also common to hear among the enemy lines a mutual exchange of shouts and insults. A friend of Orwell, very good at these verbal skirmishes, to demoralize the opposition cried: "Bread toasted with butter! This is the breakfast of the soldiers of the republic. "Butter, of course, not even the shadow ...

This mode of warfare was astonished Orwell:

" A method of this kind is at odds with the concept of war that the British. I admit that I was shocked and horrified when I saw it applied. What an idea: try to convert the opponent, rather than shoot him !..."

After a few months before, Orwell returned to Barcelona on leave, but the atmosphere has now changed. Italians, Germans and Russians come powerfully on stage.

Fascist Italy bombed the city of Barcelona from ships offshore. The Germans make a heavy use of aviation, as in the case of the infamous town of Guernica.

Among Republican ranks, however, the Communist Party tries to take over and to limit the influence of extremist formations, such as the POUM. In effect, under indication of Moscow becomes the action of the Communists counter.

In this situation, the atmosphere becomes very tense in Catalonia. They even ban the celebrations of May, for fear that the militia of the POUM and the PCE pulling together would end up shooting him.

few days after starting the fights themselves. The POUM leader Andres Nin, was arrested and subsequently murdered on the direct orders of Stalin, who was committed to eliminate its opponents Trotskyites, or assumed. The 4 and 5 May 2007 the Foundation Nin commemorate the 70 years since the riots of May in Barcelona.

At the end of the fighting, reached an apparent calm, Orwell is returned to the front, where time is seriously wounded, one by a sniper's shot passes through the throat, but miraculously survives. After a wander around hospitals, Orwell returned to Barcelona with a disability leave, and went in the hotel where his wife resided.

The scene of the encounter is dramatic:

"... I found my wife sitting in the lobby. He got up and came towards me with a hit to me for his chance, and I clasped my neck with one arm and body a beautiful smile because everyone in the room would see him, I whispered in his ear:
- Get out ! -
-Eh -
-fired now, go away! -
-Ma ...-"

Meanwhile, in fact, the government declared the POUM was outlawed and anyone who had fought in his troops risked immediate arrest. Orwell becomes a wanted man, and tries to organize an expatriate in France. Many of his friends are imprisoned and killed, while the Communist press, is now undisputed, shows the members of the POUM as Trotskyist in the pay of Fascists.

latter accusation, it seems absolutely incredible and unfounded. Orwell says:

"I have to add something about the accusation that the POUM was an organization Fascist secret [...] This accusation has been repeated endlessly on the Communist press, especially from 1937 onwards. It was part of a worldwide campaign that the Communist Party official was continuing against Trotskyism, the representative alleged that the POUM in Spain was ... "

" All the leaders of the POUM had a history of revolutionary ... [The POUM] was one of the first columns of parties to recruit fighters, both in Catalonia in Madrid. It seems almost impossible to explain these actions as actions of a party in the pay of the fascists. "

With discharge papers and the inefficiency of the English army, Orwell and his wife are able to take refuge in France and England, taking in heart, however, Spain.

The rest is written in history books. The division of the Republican front lead to the victory of Franco, who will establish a dictatorship that lasted until 1975, the indifference of the great European democracies, which thinks, not for long, you can keep the peace in Europe.

The last sentence of the book seem prophetic in this regard. Upon arrival at home Orwell observes:

"Earthquakes in Japan, famines in China, revolutions in Mexico? Do not worry: the milk bottle is in front of the house tomorrow and the New Statesman will come out on Friday."
"[...] the gentlemen in bowler hats, the pigeons in Trafalgar Square, the red buses, the cops in blue - all asleep in the deep, deep sleep English, which sometimes I fear there never wake up until we will be torn suddenly from the roar of bombs

Paradoxically, the real name is George Orwell Eric Arthur Blair . Today, seventy years later, the leadership of England is being left by a Labour prime minister who bears his surname, after dominating the political scene for ten years. There is only say, times have really changed ...

I can only say

"Visca Catalunya!"

Camera In Uterus Test

Turiners ...






Gone are the months that I moved to Turin and I can make a first report on the city and its inhabitants.

Among the things that impressed me most is the ratio of Turin by public transport. Turin is an Olympic city, and therefore everyone must practice every day 2:00 to 3:00 Olympic sports to reach his bus. They range from cross-country race at the long jump at the road cycling, and this is true for people from 6 to 90 years. I saw lively ladies all dressed up to beat the record of 100m plans to take 10! I must say, however, that the transport recently have been rationalized, especially with the construction of the subway. The Turin, however, runs the same, and even if the escalator is not comfortable waiting in the queue, but the two rooms at a time.

Living in the city reserves of unique moments. The day after Easter, for example, were charming: little traffic, clean air (and not cheap), all quiet. I think that the days that are as beautiful to stay in the city. I want to make a sincere thanks to all those who went for 12km tail on the lakes on Easter Monday. I think this year will take the leave in November, and in August will go to work.

Air is a big problem in Turin, but the people here are accustomed, and the boys spend their afternoons in the squares next to the busiest streets to take a daily dose of benzene. Some rebels though. I saw a mother telling a child: "My son, go down the river to take drugs, it makes you just as well."

On the other hand, however, the anti-pollution measures are extremely effective. For example, the suspension of all traffic. Oh, just do not add. Already do so on Sunday when there were few people around. Then buses and taxis are allowed to move. And environmentally friendly vehicles. And those in the GPL. And the Euro 4. And those of rescue. And those in which there are at least three people. In short, when there is traffic jam in the city can move even helicopter. But only in those days: durante la settimana il traffico agli elicotteri è vietato. Stavo pensando infatti di comprare quello di Berlusconi, così tanto per girare la domenica…



Several months have gone since I moved to Turin, so I can make a first report about the city and its inhabitants.

Among the things that impress most, it is the relation of the Turiners with public transportations. Turin is an olympic city, so everyone must practice two-three olympic disciplines every day to reach his bus. Disciplines range from running to long jump to road cycling: and this applies indifferently for all people aged 6-90. I have seen smart old ladies beating the 100m record to catch a bus! I must admit, however, that public transportations have been rationilised, especially since the building of the underground. Still, the real Turiner runs all the same; and if he happens to be on an escalator, he does not wait quietly, but climbs the stairs two at a time.

Living in the city permits unique moments. For example, the days just after Easter have been marvellous: little traffic, clean air (and this is not easy), all quiet. I think that such days are the most beautiful to live in the city. I really want to express sincerely my thankfulness to all who queued for 12 km on the way to the lakes on Easter Monday. I think this year I will get holiday in November, and work during August.

Air quality is a big issue in Turin, but people are used to that, and kids spend their afternoons in the squares along streets with traffic jams to get their daily dose of benzene. Somebody rebels, anyway. I have seen mothers saying to their sons: “Sons, why don’t you take a fix along the river? It’s less harmful!”.

However, anti-pollution measures are extremely effective. Like the total traffic block. Well, not really total. They do it on Sundays, when there is already little traffic. Then buses and taxis are allowed to circulate. And ecologic vehicles. And the propane-fuelled ones. And Euro-4. And rescue vehicles. And those with at least three passengers. In the end, during traffic block you can move in the city even with a helicopter. But only in those days: during the week helicopters are forbidden. I have been thinking indeed to buy Berlusconi’s helicopter, just to go round on Sundays…
