"smart" has, among its many etymologies alleged, that of "thief," "person who knows how to clean up, defraud others." The French gave us the thieves, and we have done a boast.
be because we there was the Counter-Reformation, or because we have always been a people of conquered and conquerors ever, the Italian character has never deviated substantially from opportunism, that particularism This ideology of mold that Guicciardini well known and so well described Montanelli: «In Italia fu il potere temporale a soffocare negl'italiani la voce della coscienza e a spegnere in loro ogni senso di responsabilità. Ma fu la Controriforma a fornire al prete le armi per accaparrarsi l'una e l'altra: il Sant'Uffizio, le scomuniche e, nei casi estremi, il patibolo. Con questo risultato: l'aborto del "cittadino" e la trasformazione di quello che avrebbe dovuto e potuto diventare un "popolo" in un gregge (come con inconsapevole spudoratezza i preti lo chiamano), e in un gregge di pecore indisciplinate che credono di affermare il loro ribelle individualismo non rispettando il semaforo rosso.» ("Un gregge di pecore indisciplinate", 20 novembre 2000, p. 33)

Thanks to the simplicity and power of the new tools provided by Google Sites, I found the time to build a small personal website, on which transfer the best of this blog.
This blog will remain as a block for notes: personal thoughts, political, non-official, here I say here and deny it, test drive, outbursts, and so on. Everything will comment, but when driving or writing will begin to be seen more as official guides or complete products, transfer them to eternal memory on the site.
There is clearly something wrong in the management of the audio in Karmic Koala: Some video and audio editing programs fact suffer major slowdowns, annoying problems and delays the audio. Kdenlive even be unusable. Some have solved
removing pulseaudio, but that will also disappears the volume icon and thus all the possible volume controls from the keyboard.
The solution is: I think when they bundled Karmic have simply forgotten at the last minute to replace a library for the ALSA for pulseuadio. Just puts on us, and everything is fine:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
Restart the session and everything should be fine, even with the rt kernel.
To have more control of inputs and outputs of your soundcard, which is essential if you do music production, I recommend you open the terminal and always use alsamixer (this side it is explained how, in the guide for music production on Ubuntu ).
Cinzia I met just over a years ago. Loves photography and says that would make great photographs. Cynthia has two big eyes and beautiful, but knowing you realize that she also has much more: it is sweet, nice, funny. After a 'work to convince them to use the camera in manual mode and not automatic as it was used (by the way, I hope to be able to convince her) and after he had led to' purchase of the Lensbaby 'I also believe to be take some photos.
the way, before I forget, Cynthia is also his girlfriend:)
Yuppie, MENTION OF 'HONOUR even this' year in the category FASHION BABY. A small step forward even if the path is still very long. The results here they are here peek around a bit in the site .... there are fantastic photographs that I wanted so much to do and I deserve to be seen.
In the meantime, some photos made public in recent days. Although it has been taken to slapping a child and another has told me "you're ugly as shit" I enjoyed it a lot.
With Viareggio Burla tournament every year ends (albeit pleasantly) the summer season tournament players. It starts thursday 'to 19's house with the new RickyBoy DiegoMachine and a trip on the whole peaceful and pleasant (if it were not for navigator Diego that has stretched the 30 km road with its owner Sbrocco ... are worthless, our observations that the navigator and its software for almost ten years old and that he should not wonder if among the choices of means of transport was still the horse). We arrive at the campsite, where the friendly receptionist asks us hostage in our ID cards' in exchange for the key of one of the three bungalows booked. The unloading and 'peaceful and worry to the bottom of the beers that Diego had taken up good for everyone in the meantime that the rest of the 45 tours arrived. One minor to the bungalow can 'have been the absence of the bathroom window: what irrelevant at first glance but lethal when Ricky decides to exorcise his demons and deposit a part of themselves in that niche. It was decided, once you get everyone to participate in the "Welcome Party" which turns out to drain as usual: a disappointing DJ console, in a dirt clearing disappointing in a disappointing camp. The 45 RPM sballicchiano a bit ', sbevacchiano a bit', sfumacchiano a bit 'but then at a certain time the group would fall in the bungalows to be charged in the morning. At this point the fate of 45 RPM are divided: Master Wanda brings two teams to the tournament in Tuscany, a third in open class and a coed in the second category. As part of the open I will tell 'his epic deeds.
The first game, at 10.50 against the British Reserve, and 'what we see more' in trouble '(starting with our superGigi, which reads the wrong time of the match, forcing a run to get additional time on the field). Our opponents were well-trained athletes and pushing through the 45 laps, you are seen to all. Despite this, the team pulls out the nails and momentaccio past the initial rush of sand on the three fingers of the carriers and the legs of the runner melt bringing victory to our heroes. time to finish the game and make the final circle and 'already' time to start the warmup for the next game, at 12.30, against the Austrians Flying Cyrcus we see new players all the time, dominating the match and arguably winning with different goals ahead. We take advantage of the pause slightly more 'than the others for a quick meal at the beach bar (which these gains may be more than 3 days' of throughout the year ...) where we had left an incredibly good memory of us so much that the barmaids cordially greet us (perhaps the remembrance of quantity 'epic beer drained last year). There appropinquiamo last match of the day against the well-known Gentle (also participated in the Open category Talampaya) came from the land of Belgian Trappist beers that, well aware of their national treasure, let us win the game easily enough. My stomach is starting to freak out and ask for asylum birristico the Belgians ...
The evening of Friday 'evening will see' featuring the regulars at Torre del Lago, officially named the gay capital of Italy (if you do not believe me try and see how the name googol initiatives "particular" are throughout the year). The Dinner takes place Okkupati 45 RPM (with a "K") the common area of \u200b\u200bthe camp (empty) with a fireplace to make barbecue and between a game of bowls (in which the Chiarina will reveal 'its true essence demonstrating 'experience in the game that until then had seen only in the elderly in bowling on the beach) and tennis to our roast beef and drink beer until late at night. Then, despite that Ricky cried and hid her head under the car seats, we went to the premises on the waterfront looking for a bit 'to fight. Since 'The Hoax is held for years, those "silly" operators of a well thought of organizing a party a bit' more 'oversized, for this Friday 'evening, in honor of us frisbisti. And now, with great display of pectoral and makeup from "Priscilla Queen of the Desert", the soul is Mamamia Omonia that not even imagine them, some with lovely butterflies attached in the right places and sometimes plays with bat wings. All this is topped by a vocalist strongly inspired by "Rocky Horror Picture Show." Despite Gayoso 'event and the gruesome scenes of men who embraced incantonavano other men to a light pole (everyone has fun as you think. Straight from me a little' sense, that's all) the party proves fun and not missing scenes "goliardic" of frisbisti (not our people, fortunately) in its own mania of omnipotence up iniziativa sul palco assieme al vocalist per salutare il pubblico o salire sui cubi per sfilare, con mossa veloce, i pantaloni agli avventori. Verso le 2 di mattina i primi cominciano a tornare verso il campeggio per dormire prima della giornata successiva.
Inzia cosi' il secondo giorno di partite, il sole e' alto nel cielo e la presenza di un vento brianzoso fa scendere in campo la terribile "Coppa Cobram 45" temuta in ogni angolo del mondo e pure anche dietro ai mobili. Si comincia alle 11.10 contro i finnici UFBG, probabilmente nella loro impronunciabile lingua "UFBG" sara' un acronimo di un qualche urlo vichingo di tempo addietro ma fatto sta che di vichingo han ben poco e la Cobram non perdona. La seconda partita la giochiamo un paio di ore after against Captain Huck from Holland. Despite our victory, the Dutch cup to field a strong and equally determined that puts us into some difficulty 'in the goals against the wind. The game unfortunately and 'marked by a disastrous event that sees the ranks of the 45 RPM assogliarsi for the loss of integrity' of the little finger of the foot of Diego during a meeting / confrontation (which even Kissme Licia) with a Dutchman. Transported to hospital by his wife will be the derelict 'fence in plaster and duty, but must' be satisfied with a mere spectator for the rest of the tournament. And you get to the last game against the Scots at 16.10 Bear Minimum. Game that allows us to round off a successful day and we can see, despite the lack of Diego, vying for the top four places in the standings.
for dinner on Saturday we decided to cook and set up a table in a bungalow, where pasta and beer will be offered to the gods in the street in front of our two bungalows. In the evening, wrongly, innocent soul Lorenzo is coming to eat us immediately hailed as a "toy Buzz" of the evening of the same name as a Playstation game in response to a series of questions, who knows the answer must press the Buzz before the others to book the answer. In reality 'was a difficult chase and catch him, but after three races throughout the camp every desire of rebellion had disappeared and we could finally brought at this fantastic game. At one point the situation became so hot that our "Buzz" had to be cooled by water with a rubber garden properly stretched, unbeknownst to the poor, from 30 meters' in the passed in secret and under the table with a remarkable team effort. After the impromptu little party becomes' the hour of the party on Saturday evening and we all tricks along the theme of "Smurfs" organized by tournament. Flying on the costumes more 'or less successful tours of the 45 one, and only one, incredibly, takes to his bed while we all had to go out in full: DIEGO! Evidently, the derelict was still dazed by the pain and must have forgotten the golden rule: never turn his back on friends! Diego said and done, dormant, is targeted by a couple of our and a can of green paint (non toxic). The rest you can imagine. The party Saturday night, personal opinion, it is quite exhaust. Discharge in comparison to last year, or Mamamia the night before or even the little party "45giri Style" which took place shortly before. Organized in a camp, the party starring the usual gang "to shed" and follow the usual DJ-One. The good thing is' you meet the friend of the last in a field a bit 'more' comfortable edge field and make small talk with friends. An hour unlikely myself giving way to old age and retires to deliberate, Room.
the third day of matches, as well as' finally sees the time change abruptly. Strong gusts of wind coming from the sea, bringing dark clouds and a light drizzle, temperatures drop sharply and says goodbye to warm temperatures (and creams) that had accompanied the first two days. The first game against the Disc Doctor unfortunately is set during the original Flip. Because of very strong winds parallel to the field of play neither team able to score against the wind. Both play the trump card of the defense area, the Disc Doctor seem to have a greater familiarity gained more yards' but nothing can easily 45giri 'against the various gods' wind unleashed against the earth that was the birthplace of Marcello Lippi. 45 unnecessarily offer sacrifices of beer and red bull-Vayu, Shina-Tsu-Hiko, Thor and Amon and unnecessarily Diego jumping round to propitiate the sun and calm winds. The game is 11 to 10 for the Disc Doctor, a result that does not reflect the real potential 'of both teams. Intignano lost for the game (but at least the first of the whole tournament) we are preparing to face the Austrians Cheek 2 Cheek 2 (to be read "Cheek to cheek two") that are defeated by Fuck results of 45 RPM and there allows you to earn 3rd place in the second tournament on the sands' biggest in Italy. For once we do not stop to see the final but we go to the bungalow for the painful operation puliziae ritorno verso casa.

start.
We all know what "wide" right? If you do not know the answer, come on .... do not make that face. I'll try to explain it hoping not to confuse you further ideas (knowing me, the risk there might be).
the category of wide-angle generally belong to all the targets that have a focal length less than 50 mm. Are widely used in photo reportage, landscape, d 'architecture, to achieve special effects perspective, to take pictures of' horizon when we go to sea, and in general, when we want a very wide angle of view for our photos.
There are several "measures" of wide-angle lenses. In practical terms
plus the number of focus that we are using (in mm) is "low" more photos will be our "broad".
same subject, photographed first with a 12mm and a 24 mm wide-angle lenses both the first photo gives a broader view of the second, in fact the number is lower, ok?
One Wide-angle characteristics is to have a great depth of field . This, in practical terms, this means that the mole Henry would be able to focus on, okay?
And now, at the 'beginning of the many uses I have mentioned that if they can do, we see examples.
Photos of landscape: having a very wide angle of view, when photographing landscapes, the risk is that the background might look very far, and the picture may become less attractive.
One piece of advice I can give you is therefore to add a nice foreground subject in this caso x esempio il cespuglio.
Vi immaginate la stessa foto senza il cespuglio? ho provato a sradicarlo graficamente, e bruscamente ed ecco qua. Non sembra neanche la stessa foto.
Vediamo il prossimo esempio. Con il fatto che la visuale è molto più ampia e la prospettiva viene distorta, con il Grandangolare ci si puo giocare, creando degli effetti davvero incredibili...ampi spazi, che non esistono. Nella foto potete vedere un' atleta che fa dei salti incredibili....oppure è un' illusione. considerando che the person I am (photoshoppata appropriately at the middle before being published on this page) and I am not an 'athlete, indeed .... I weigh my ass:) it is certainly an 'illusion.
as I did. Requirement: I have not used a professional camera (if I remember correctly it was a compact Canon PowerShot A480 maybe). In a moment of profound boredom on the beach I got some self-portraits (to the delight of passers-by have mistaken me for a fool). Place the camera on the ground in the sand, set the timer and focal wide-angle camera that allowed me .... and I started to jump off the boat, estimated height of the jump .... 50cm (Vi I said that I weigh my ass, no?) but I seem to be flying.
With the same idea I did the pictures of Federico Angelucci, published a few posts ago.
person to another example, the portraits. The wide angle is perfect for making portraits of environment, or with the portraits you can also play, getting as close as possible to the subject, this can be achieved (17 mm lens, less than 1-meter 's ass is a wild animal and I agreed to get closer)
this or even closer to the subject (optical 17 mm, 30 cm apart)
my nipotastro has graciously granted not knowing what 's expected (Trust aunts). In this sense, the wide angle is a little dangerous, so attention to your photograph girl with these tips, it could be very dangerous. If, subsequent to the shots, you should leave in the trunk, the undersigned did not assume any liability.
of examples to be done there would still, again and again but I will stop here. Yes I know, finally it was time.
Moral of pappardelle:
In stock There are NO things you can or can not be done, is a matter of personal choice. Divertimento.enjoy good:)

We full October ma qui fa ancora tanto caldo . Perché non passare una giornata al mare? Ci dirigiamo a Shek O , una spiaggia nel sud dell'isola di Hong Kong famosa per lo stupendo paesaggio e le onde violente e divertenti ma non esagerate.
L'accesso al litorale qui è garantito come dovrebbe essere in Italia, con la differenza che qui la regola funziona e nessuno può dirvi nulla se andate in una qualsiasi spiaggia.
Noleggiamo un ombrellone (meno di 4€ per tutta la giornata) e una simpatica signora ce lo pianta nel posto della spiaggia che vogliamo noi.
they explore the incredible adventures of the people you trying to crush resistance to the waves. Later I'll try too: I love the raging waters. Sindi first to let me throw in turbulent waters, it asks me to enter into a 'life insurance with her as beneficiary.
In lontananza, in alcune foto, si possono notare alcuni sommozzatori . Più tardi apprenderò infatti che durante la notte un ragazzino si era gettato nelle acque senza servizio di salvataggio ed era morto travolto dalle onde . Al momento in cui scatto le foto e faccio il bagno, non so ancora di questa tragedia e non noto i sommozzatori che cercano il cadavere, che verrà ritrovato poche ore dopo. Sinceramente non credo che molti altri sapessero dell'incidente. Io stesso non credo che sarei stato così spensierato, anche se in effetti i miei amici lo sapevano benissimo e non hanno made a turn ...
Naturalmente, round is a hive of restaurants or seafood skewers various (non-congestion that day at the beach is it?) and then we throw in eat everything, even having the hunger caused by hours spent in water to combat the devastating waves of monstrous strength.
While we are, here is a video made by me before you jump into the water . You'll notice the violence of the waves , and as some swimmers are literally overwhelmed even if they try to resist.
the evening, I decide to call Ada to greet her (is about to leave for Australia). See you all ' Aqua Spirit, an incredible local in Tsim Sha Tsui. In essence, those wags of Hong Kong have gained a place in the top two floors of the skyscraper place right on the tip of the peninsula (it's called "One Peking," and is the skyscraper with the most privileged view of the entire Hong Kong) . The two separate plans have been combined, mezzanine below is in the restaurant, in the above cocktail pub. But all the walls are immense glass overlooking the breathtaking view of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, to 360 degrees. Carpets, stairs, sofas, mattresses, soft lighting and lounge music, they think prices are absurd, but it is not: cocktails at 7 €, consumption mandatory minimum of 10 €. And I who had prepared a hundred euros for the local super expensive ...
I Preparing the penultimate evening in Hong Kong ... First of all we visit, just below the Aqua Spirit, the Hermitage , a shopping center a little 'American-but with half a roof garden tower decidedly Japanese flavor, straight out of a Miyazaki film.
please click on, and press "Download" -> "Download Photo" to see it with the highest resolution.
Please accept this too video that I shot to give an idea closer to what is the Hermitage, a haven of calm in the terrible noise of Tsim Sha Tsui, a place where it is primarily to be taking pictures after graduation or a wedding, or for publicity photos with the crew (now that I think a lot 'of images of various fashion magazines have their own background as this place).
I take my ex, who has worked for Cartier, to finally go out to eat at a barbecue.
Hong Kong is full of open spaces of the sea, used in barbecue equipped. They are essentially tables and chairs next to which there is a grid with the need to cook. The stuff there is the door to the house or buy it on the spot, of course provided with raw food size perfette per la griglia. Si prenota, o si arriva e si aspetta. Come potrete immaginare, costa pochissimo.
... then, more and more sad, but elated, we throw into the fray of Temple Street to eat the latest delicacies: clams of incredible magnitude, scallops, jellyfish and fries (delicious!)
Finally, now drunk with alcohol and food, we go to karaoke .
The karaoke in Asia is that there is to us, from us is a guy who comes into a room and breaks his balls all customers to force them to sing. If anything, this is called "pub karaoke" and is definitely out .
In Asia a local karaoke is done on purpose, full of rooms that are booked . Rooms can be ransacked , stained long as you want, you can bring in any food (even from home, but generally there is a great buffet) or order it from your phone Internal (in two minutes a waiter comes to take your order).
Inside this room, there are microphones, TV system and of course, with a large table and comfortable sofas. You pay at the exit (making a total of hours spent and the food / drink order). If you have four or five in Hong Kong do not spend more than 5 Euro per person (in Japan is much more expensive in fact).
I decide to make the idiot and singing in the style of Italian abroad "with moves to Al Bano or Gigi D'Alessio, in short, the worst of the worst. Perhaps I had taken the Ciucca sad?
a taxi, check in, an embrace with Sindi, so many tears, the train to the gate, and 11 hours to think and rethink the part of myself, of my memories, my happiness that I left in Hong Kong and have not managed to bring in Italy.
