How Long To Wait Before Waxing Legs

cut separating

My friend M. had a son. The course makes me happy because I love him.
He told me that, in addition to his wife to attend the birth in water, gave him the task of cutting the umbilical cord.

I never stopped to think about this very act, usually given to doctors or midwives, nor knew that fathers were allowed to do so.
It seems a gesture of great symbolic value for the newborn and herself. The father makes himself consciously and unconsciously the child that his task will also accompany him to the independence and liberation, from the beginning by cutting the deep bond - in this case, physically - that the child has with parents. Almost
an injection of realism.

One day my father told me clearly that most contribute to my INTED maintenance. I was a young adult, I had finished university. It was obviously a good thing.
I found after some 'time since its decision was useful for my personal growth. But I still hurt I was.

Perhaps, I ask you now smiling I would hurt less if my umbilical cord had been cut many years ago not by a stranger in a white coat but by himself? It 's a question that comes to mind slightly in recent days.

Holocaust Remembrance Day and the days of G.

I do not like a lot of the commemorations and anniversaries imposed. It rationally recognize the symbolic value (only if they have any value for me), I turn away for a moment from the daily thoughts and make me more happy than anything else if I get a day off in more ...

But this year I feel I must write something about this Memorial Day.

My thoughts go to those people who take on the hard shoulder the burden of memory. These are the people who have lived the death camps, with personal losses and unspeakable now become witnesses in the forefront of what has been committed by a civilized part of Europe against their fellow during the years of the first half of the twentieth century .
I think I can write short, because I know one such person.

G., released from that hell, he continued to live, he boldly built a family with children, has lived a life fully engaged into the fabric of society, trying to be as normal as possible and to live normally, despite happened.
Like many other has lived for years carrying within them the memory, however, trying to ensure that this memory will not put up too much of his life and his loved ones. For years - and what he told me - did not do much to speak publicly about it, a little 'for self-protection, a bit' because there were other witnesses to remember.

Today, however, people who are able to witness are less and less personal reasons. And he began to feel the need to tell. Almost
an inner imperative of "if there is nobody who can do so, I think I have to do that. "

In these days was close to" tour ". It 'was called from all parts of Italy to remember, to tell. Associations, Schools, Cultural Centi, municipalities, to invite all to listen to interview, to film.
I believe that nobody can imagine what must be hard to remember what happened and having to record every time in front of strangers. having to sacrifice their privacy in the name of a "mission".

to dedicate this the poor and concise thinking of Memorial Day to G., imagining what it must be tired today, and hope we can rest for a well earned rest next to people he loves (as long as he man enviable energy, is able to stop and rest).

At the same time I hope you feel very proud of himself.
I, for what can count, I'm proud of him and I am sure many of us to be proud and grateful memory of witnesses like him.
As can be used, it is right that G. if she heard him say. Hoping is not perturbed by this further intrusion into his sensibility.

In these years, I realize how important it is to pass on the memory for our children to avoid or try to avoid the horrors of hate and ignorance proved that man is able to commit.

(my) music of 2009 (II)


would start with twelve songs, all outputs more or less this year ... Yeah Yeah Yeahs

- Hysteric - from It's Blitz! (2009)
Yes, I'm a fan of Karen O (see above picture), singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs excessive.
Even when the music is a brand of shoes .
It's Blitz! for me to be the best album of 2009. Produced by Nick Launay (Public Image Ltd., Gang of Four, Jam) and David Andrew Sitek (TV on the Radio) runs on structures and equipment which have been settled this year: great use of synthesizers in style eighties declined nth used in power and massive overlap.
Probably the guitarist Nick Zinner has also made some sacrifice to give up his usual sharp riffs, which here are often filtered out by ultra-sound synthetic, but I think it was worth it.
not waive the right to enter ballads like Hysteric where Karen O barb to express the best of her voice even softer than expected (go get the album version with the four acoustic versions). It 'my favorite piece. But the first single Zero and the hypnotic Shame and Fortune not be outdone.

Editors - Papillon - from In This Light and On This Evening (2009)
Similarly to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, although on an area of \u200b\u200bless tension between groups alternative the Editors of these years are among the few who had the courage to make a significant stylistic change their sound, invading their rock "wave" of bulky but powerful edged synthesizers and leaving a little 'aside for a time the guitars (which I had seemed a bit' pushy in their successful previous album). All of this is to forget the perhaps excessive emphasis on voice, which is also an expression of their figures.
viewed live with my kids a month ago. In concert with them, one of the best things of 2009.

Florence + the Machine - Girl with Eye On - from Lungs (2009) A
blues rock with the beautiful and powerful voice of Florence Welch and her Machine. It sentirermo speak, as is veering from the alternator to pop.

Pearl Jam - Just Breath - from Backspacer (2009)
Backspacer is a record that can be appreciated after repeated listening. I especially like the songs in half album. Just Breath is the ballad that plays in the morning to start the day.
" I do not want to hurt. There's so much in this world That makes me bleed (...) Just Breath "Just breathe. Here also the vivo.

U2 - Breathe - from No Line On the Horizon (2009
I saw U2 live in San Siro. I had fun but nothing more (it was far more important to be there with my son) . The spectacle of gigantism aracnideo I was not entirely convinced. well, I learned to appreciate the album produced by Eno and Lanois after each listen. These are the textures and layers of sound that envelop most of the songs to make a difference. Eno is no coincidence that the first sign all the compositions, demonstrating a crucial creative participation.
Breathe is my song of the album. Nestled in the penultimate over there instead of the CD, including the two ballads, explosive and has a lot of melodic urgency, just like I do. Here also in the brilliant David Letterman Show where Bono has shown that the voice still has it, and how.
And here, too: "Breathe" ...

Little Shop of Horrors - Our Father - from In Cold Blood (2009)
not sound so many in Italy. The very particular vocal Pierpaolo Capovilla (the only comparison, with the necessary distinctions, Carmelo Bene), the sound is a wall of sound edgy and uncompromising. The texts , direct and disurbanti. I'm the Little Shop of Horrors.
Our Father is my favorite song (De André has a lot under the skin), but the song that is perhaps most impressed, thanks to the co-production with the Bloody Beetroots that makes the sound very electronic, is different directorates. But do not listen if you are in crisis with your beautiful " would have been nice to grow old together. Life pushes us towards different directions (...) How do you miss the love ... .

Fabri Fibra - Inglese speack! From Who Wants To Be Fabri Fibra .... (2009) Fabri Fibra
is a controversial performer, capable of causing unconditional admiration and repulsion.'s hard to find an over-30 who speak well, the less if parent (when the mother of a friend of my son said to me, let me meet Fabri Fibra what did I say four). Just because of his ability to unsettle, to make social commentary but also to accept the mechanism of marketing in spite of certain prejudices pseudo progressives, the ability to clear with "style" 's "ignorance" and the sexism that pervades us, for the ability to sustain head on his arrogance (in this very hip hop), but mainly for its creativity and maturity in the lyrics and match them to build backing tracks very effective, I find that speack Inglese! piece that is in addition to having accompanied my summer song is worthy of note.

Kid Kudi - Make Her Say - by Man on the Moon ... (2009) (no decent video available on the net ...)
A kind of revelation that hip hop album by Kid Kudi. Abandoned (finally) the gangsta rap here is this young African-American intellectual who - while it is inserted fully into the hip hop movement (it is a protege of Kanye West) - retrieves sounds much better in Europe and offers a varied and enjoyable album, full of diverse influences, with minimal arrangements but also with extensive use of strings and electronics and melodic choruses. E 'from the time of De la Soul that I enjoyed it with a hard soul . The passage in question is fun using the sampled voice of none other than that the Joker ... Lady Gaga and it is strange that it has not had more commercial success.

Wolfmother - 10,000 Feet - by Cosmic Egg (2009)
few like Wolfmother can synthesize so hyperbolic in the history of rock'n'roll. Led Zeppelin, Iron Maden, Deep Purple, the speed of punk, but also Queens of the Stone Age (listen Phoenix ). The difference is that today as a great producer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) mixes distorted guitar with some electronic samples, the effect lifts off the chair on which you sit. Sound
more than brilliant, guitars hot, perfect production. Not for gourmets, but to listen at full volume in the headphones with lashes of guitars from permanent deafness.

Oasis - Falling Down - from Dig Out Your Soul (2008)
begins as a ballad at the Oasis with melodic and rhythmic deadlift worthy of the best of both Gallagher and then touches the distortion. Yet it is a perfect pop song. But this is my favorite video, masterful in its decadence and contemptuous view of the British royal world of the aristocracy (with a cameo as authorized by Prince Charles who knows ...) and with the cynical eye of two brothers who did not even deign Sad to say goodbye to the Princess. Musically, what strikes
most is the quality of amalgam of sounds, layers of sounds that overlap.

La Roux - In For The Kill - from Laroux (2009). Pop
pure and simple, silly and spocchiosetto. Laroux I am a female duo with a frontman who looks like a tomboy frangettone bimbominchia face slaps. A dip in the 80's techno pop (Soft Cell, Depeche Mode first) with melodic hooks and irresistible synth "mosquito" a go-go. The videos are a mixture of kitsch, gaudy colors, clothes unlikely, environments and architectures crooked Blade Runner. Not bad
the other single Bulletproof , a Dadaist and a half video half Tron.

Kerli - Walking on air - from Love is Dead (2008). In the same vein
pop charts, the song contains a nice Kerli germ anxiety electro pop sound. She
a lot 'Mary Poppins bimbaminchia to spank, but the synthesizers and the chorus I like it a lot.

Where Does Malaria Affect

The (my) songs of 2009 (I)

The lists are important, Umberto Eco tells us in his latest book ( Vertigo list , Bompiani, 2009). Playlists
music even more, suggests Arimondi ...

In 2009 I heard so much music I never had happened in recent years. A successful contingency work makes it easy to get hold of music, this is both of the past. For my part, I put effort and pleasure in listening as much as possible, of all kinds, and to vote, armed with ipod / playlist from 1 to 5 ... Each section of the subway is fine ...

The end of the first decade of the century is approaching and with it the temptation to draw some conclusions on these first ten years. With a little 'dismay is to say that it does not seem to grasp milestones. Then I convince myself to wait a year to draw radical conclusions.
However, while astendenomi by naming names and surnames, there is no doubt that the list of masterpieces is not long for now.

This may mean simply that I am old, now a little outdated or unable to adapt to other genres even more creative (hip-hop, world music?) Or that my ears are tired of feedback. But it could also mean that the macro-genre "rock" show a little 'to the rope as inventive, as is sometimes feared by those whom I have the chance to talk about these things, online and offline.

On the other hand there is no doubt that the rock has long since become a mainstream language able to catalyze enormous acclaim.

The Scream Long live rock The Who has become reality and the "rock" (the quotation marks is not accidental) has now secured a flourishing commercial future, relying on the heart and finances of thousands of ladies and middle-aged who love to go to the stadium with lighters lit to remember the good times gone by and maybe get some cane hidden from their children.
Vasco Rossi, Bob Dylan, Springsteen, U2, REM, Radiohead. Everything is fine, to celebrate the rite of rebellion that was. Soon the Muse or someone else, for younger generations of five to ten years.
We are at a stage in the history of rock that could be called "classical." The alternative view
, with his affectionate audience, more demanding than mainstream , produces good things, but often given to forms and sounds of the past.

What I can say is that the sound is more brilliant. The quality of the "production" has grown more than the design quality. Albums like the new Oasis, U2, Wolfmother, Muse allows experiences physical, emotional and not just noise. As if in a time when musical language is tired, is the task of inventing the producers - through technology - solutions to remedy the lack creativity. This

this, the song list for me the most important and enjoyable of 2009 is also composed many songs that I discovered or rediscovered from the past. As always, the choice is not only qualitative but also related to the moments of life, thankfully. For this reason, this year the choice is substantial.

tomorrow, then, for the list.

Aural Pollution

often talk about noise pollution not only to indicate the excess of urban noise that surrounds us in the big cities or near industrial centers, but also for the excess tax music that surrounds us In many places of our daily lives (supermarkets, libraries, public places) and interferes on our soundscape. This is called Muzak, or Piped Music.

A site that collects reports in England, provides advice and information against ' Aural Pollution caused by muzak is No Muzak.

Do I Have To Pay Gst On Used Boat

Emmaus

I can always be captivated by Alessandro Baricco's ability to hit the dark shadows of the feeling with his writing at the same time concise and profound. So I read his latest novel about Emmaus (Feltrinelli, 2009) in one breath.

But I must say that after Ocean and sea Without blood, the mechanism of displacement obtained through waste into the abyss of pain is a little 'frayed.

Baricco In the new work seems to be to bleed to his reader in a spectacular way, using the same tools with which guts the characters are affected by fate or the influence of other men equally imperfect and wounded.

Is there anything else in the book: the crisis of the certainties of a group of Catholic fundamentalists, here exposed without shame in their contradictions on the edge of fanaticism, there is the emptiness of the new generations (Galimberti?), There the theme of the hypocrisy of bourgeois against prostitution, cross-dressing (who knows whether pre-or post Marrazzo) and diversity, there is the issue of guilt of the children towards their parents and their expectations:

"There it disarms the inclination to think that our life is, first, a final fragment of life for our parents, only entrusted to our care. As if we had been instructed in a moment of tiredness to take a moment for their valuable quell'epilogo - was expected of us who restituissimo, sooner or later, intact. They would then put back into place, forming the roundness of a life fulfilled, their. But our fathers tired, who had trusted us, we return the cut pieces of sharp objects out of hand. In such a dull streak of failure, we do not find time to think, nor the light of a rebellion. Only the muffled stillness of the blame. So we come back, life, when it is too late. "(p. 100).
