Sport as a tool for bringing people together and people. A year and a half before the Olympics in London, this is one of the themes around which rotated the usual Christmas message of Queen Elizabeth.

"In the year that is about to close, full of sporting events - the Queen of England said second As reported by the BBC - I could see how the sport is important for bringing people of all backgrounds, ages, horizons.

"In addition to improving our physical condition, sports and games can provide important lessons for life society, "added Elizabeth II that year he recorded his traditional speech to the palace of Hampton Court instead of Buckingham Palace.

The Queen went on to praise those who dedicate their free time to the sport." The spirit of team - he said - can benefit the community of companies and enterprises of all types. "

Vegeterian Ramen Soup

The year is ending and the need for balance in a whirlwind of dynamism, with the final closure of my pumpkin gnocchi.

December passed almost without my noticing. It 's been Christmas , with all its load of rhetoric, souvenirs, greeting cards, gifts, of hypocrisy, which this year were actually a few (good wishes, gifts, hypocrisy) ... I will be for a drop in popularity or the fact that this year I've been really receptive to a little respect. In general, Christmas is a holiday that just touches me and I use perhaps more as a justified excuse to remember, through my cards, my own existence or the importance that others play, often without knowing it, in my life, but I've heard this year, if possible, even less than usual, nothing more than a day to spend with the family and struggled to gain some hope for an (obviously moral, but also money ).
Maybe it's because so many things have changed, starting from early December, the holiday season, for me almost morally neutral, you need to pass much in the background: the beginning of the Master, the transfer in 'Pisa apartment which meant forcibly changing my pace / customs / traditions, a number of other changes in my situation, all elements that have married meant the achievement of an almost serene (the absence of a job that gives me that I do not really exist consente l'eliminazione di quel noioso "quasi"  ). Ho avuto la testa decisamente da altre parti per poter ricordarmi davvero del Natale e di tutti i riti che esso prevede. 

Ma voglio festeggiare anche qui, sul mio blog - la mia nicchia ecologica, la mia culla, la mia fierezza, la mia consolazione - l'anno che sta finendo, che quasi è già finito. Credo di aver già detto (su certe questioni temo di essere maledettamente monotona  ) che la fine di un'epoca, di un periodo, di un percorso, porta quasi spontaneamente a tracciare un bilancio: e la fine di un anno è senza dubbio la fine di un'epoca. Più ci si avvicina a venerdì 31 dicembre 2010 meno posso evitare, quindi, la propensione a bollare, etichettare, sondare, l'anno che è appena trascorso  (oltre ovviamente a sperare nell'anno a venire).

Il 2010 è stato, per me, un anno dinamico. Se devo pensarci, e ripensarlo, è questo il primo termine che mi colpisce il cuore: del 2010, con tutte le sue vette di rimpianti, rimorsi, pentimenti e delusioni (che non possono non esserci, che ci sono state), ricordo con piacere il dinamismo che l'ha caratterizzato. Nel 2010 mi sono laureata, thus concluding a path of study that has guided the nature of things my life in 2010 I faced the first experience that really put me, and practically, to the test, the experience in Turkey, in 2010 I changed to a swirling , awesome idea and perspective about myself and how to address and look at my life in 2010 I met so many people in ways not previously thought possible even for me, and outside the context of my usual home-faculty philosophy, literary cafes, in 2010 I had the opportunity to learn contexts, situations, characters, out of my ordinary (and not only the experience of the range of perspectives spalancatemi Turkey) in 2010 I realized so many things about me, I got so damn conscience, and for the first time I tried (in some way, probably wrong) to deal with myself that I do not like, maybe I can dare to say that, perhaps, at last , 2010 meant the beginning of my very real emotional and intellectual growth.
There were periods, of forced inactivity, the desire to cancel. But I can not think of the 2010 except in relation to the thrill of change that has gone through the (changes have not always and not only due to my choice, but often merely "captain" for a series of random coincidences or simply because the flow the time she wanted it).
Coming out of my small, narrow, personal and individual perspective, I do not know if the same dynamic has characterized the Italian situation, which I often unpleasant impression that tend to repeat themselves, distressing, stale, patterns of power and oppression. Perhaps for Italy as a whole has not been a year so dynamic, so special, so - when the chips - not negative.
To console (console and you also ) of this stale national situation and to wish all of you who want to stop and give look at this (for a short time ) post, tonight I propose the latest special gastronomic discovery due to the need to dispose of a pumpkin that has long vegetated in the refrigerator. I love pumpkin - lends itself to so many variations and changes, both sweet and savory, and it is special for its amazing flexibility, I wanted to do something special with this, that my taste buds not only comforting but also my eyes and my narcissistic satisfaction of girl that tries (successfully oscillated) to do the "cook". Looking and peering between annotated recipes, books (actually I only watched one, which speaks specifically of recipes pumpkin ), blogs and websites, I was attracted by the magnet as a recipe for dumplings Artemisia Comina of AAA ACADEMY HUNGRY worry I. It seemed like a very special recipe: gnocchi are the only ingredients like pumpkin puree and flour and seasoning sauce is delicious and intriguing for the combined use of poppy seeds and orange peel. The changes I made to the original recipe are mostly due to what I had available: the bread crumbs instead of cheese (I did not, di parmigiano, in casa) e un grasso da spalmare vegetale (ma non la margarina) al posto del burro (perché avrei dovuto aprire il panetto di burro e in frigorifero avevo già aperta la confezione di grasso spalmabile Vallé - chiedo venia per la pubblicità occulta ma non so come altro far capire il tipo di alimento che ho usato - della mia coinquilina, che mi aveva già dato il permesso di usufruirne).

Preparare questi gnocchi mi ha dato un'enorme soddisfazione: avete mai provato la gioia, l'ansia creatrice di vedere i vostri piccoli gnocchi salire uno a uno in superficie pronti per essere scolati e mangiati? 




Bravo. Have you been lyrical.
Opera to orgasm.
Now go 'to bed. Sleep
blessed in your enthusiasm.

Gnocchi di zucca aromatizzati alla salvia con arancia e semi di papavero





















Ingredients (per person)


for gnocchi

  • 170 grams of pumpkin already cooked and reduced to a purée made Kindergarten ( I followed the procedure used in making the pastry tart with cocoa , but only because I had not read the indication of Artemisia to use the microwave method certainly faster )
  • 20 g 00 + flour and knead flour as needed to give the right consistency to the dumpling
  • a good grating of nutmeg (Artemisia use the mace, which is different from the nutmeg ... but only this I)
sauce for seasoning
  • 20 g fat spreadable vegetable (or a similar amount of butter)
  • few leaves of sage
  • grated rind of an orange
  • a pinch of salt
  • a handful of poppy seeds


Procedimento : Mescolate la polpa di zucca con i 20 grammi di farina e la noce moscata grattugiata. Otterrete un impasto molto molto morbido, anche se lavorabile (una volta che accettate di sporcarvi e impiastricciarvi un po' le mani  ). Infarinate abbondantemente il piano di lavoro e iniziate la "composizione gnocchesca": aiutandovi con un cucchiaio (o con le stesse mani) prendete volta volta parte dell'impasto, mettetelo sul piano infarinato e lavoratelo, aggiungendo farina alla bisogna, fino a che l'impasto non diverrà consistente e ben lavorabile. Resterà un po' morbido all'interno ma questo non creerà problemi ulteriori.

Give each form part of a regular Rolin and cut it into small (small but not too much I recommend! ) cylinders, which will give the shape of the dumpling passing on the prongs of a fork or hollow with the thumb and place on work surface with flour covering them, because they do not stick together.
Toss the gnocchi in boiling salted water and pull them out when they are afloat, because they are ready: do not throw water all at once, you have the foresight to throw whenever small porzioncine, you cook the dumplings in various stages, but prevent from sticking together and so you have to eat a big orange gnoccone .
Once the gnocchi are ready (or even while they cook ... this is a wonderful achievement to do more things at once), prepare the seasoning sauce by melting vegetable shortening (or butter) together with the leaves of sage, so that they will become crispy and tasty. Grated orange peel also: Use the large holes of the grater, you will get peel aesthetically appreciable.
's Transfer gnocchi into the pot and toss with melted butter. Then sprinkle with the breadcrumbs with the peels of orange and poppy seeds.
Eat warm beautiful, are a sensory spectacle, in which the sweetness of pumpkin is well dissolved dall'amarognolo of orange peel and poppy seeds.


And with this post and this recipe officially closes 2010 on my blog. To all those who want to stop and take a look - it's quick and thoughtful - I sincerely hope a magnificent view of 2011 and enjoy a wonderful start of the year.
In all, we love you, best wishes

Get Omeprazole Out Of System

Caro Michele Serra


Following the fateful day of Dec. 14, in which young people are troublemakers confused between the demonstrators and throwing into turmoil ravaging the center of Rome, the writer and journalist, interviewed by Michele Serra Dandini in the "Talk to Me" aired the same evening ( http://www.rai.tv/dl/ RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-a3d09d9b-8bee-449e-8816-6bf3da19625c.html ) in respect of acts of vandalism of the black block, said quote: "Sport is a logical, are agonists of the black block. Some people snowboarders, there are those who play at the casino, there are those who loves to have a burning trash bins and his personal score, which is to be able to set a bit 'of a fire .. "(12 minutes, 20), and even "black block 10 .. enough to pervert the course of a day that was to be a political struggle, because it excites them, in various European cities, to have opportunities for sport .." (13.20 minutes).

Despite I agree with what has been stated by the talented writer and journalist in his interview, I can not accept the relationship between the violence of a stupid vandalism and Sport, in addition to not understanding the parallelism "messy" and not at all detailed in the discipline of Snowboard , gambling and burning dumpsters. I can not accept that a person's approach to culture as trivial, an expression of arrogance of an intelligentsia that still considers contempt always with what is expressed through physicality .. and who does not know that the body is the mind and vice versa.

As a sports teacher and I feel offended and outraged by this paucity for guilty of stupidity Culture Sports flattened on the "samples".

I am writing to reaffirm, promote and recognize the sporting spirit of all those guys who, in the event of December 22, have been able to take the field to play a game that is likely to be without history .. to have the satisfaction of being able to say I'm busy with my all, "to be able to feel brave representatives of their generation, to accept and deal with the risk in order to claim the credit as the basis for the development of our society, to try to all put in a position to be able to cultivate and express their talent, to continue to believe to be masters of their own growth and their own future.

commitment, courage, risk, merit, talent, growth, their values \u200b\u200bare dello Sport, the Sport of sound that can contribute to the recognition and consolidation of the principles that underpin any social process that makes the worthy ' individual member of society.

Sport is above all learn to deal with their own capabilities and limitations in order to assert themselves, whether it follows that! The term etymologically athlete brings to the fight, a fight within the rules .. and I want to see these guys as athletes.

The fight, the comparison can and should be corrected, respectful, ethical .. Sport teaches us, help convey this message to the Sport and regain its function.

Dear Michael Serra, do not confuse what is with what might Sport Sport, we are careful to not be so superficial .. for the sake of our youth and the "training" that we all have to be able to provide.

Wise Sayings Of Harley

Mi consenta


The philosopher Umberto Galimberti in an interview with the Express (October 12, 2006) states: "there is an acceleration towards ever stronger rules spasmodic efficiency, competitiveness, asking people to stifle every emotion, [ ...] to be anaffective ... "and reminds us that" only a long and emotional rehabilitation patient may bring an acceptable coexistence between the sexes. " Moreover, at the conclusion of his interview, he asserts that the best definition of love has found it in St. Augustine: "Flight ut sis; want you to be who you are, I recognize your otherness."

That said, I now want to address a subject that haunts me for some 'time. It will not be easy but I try.

In the previous paper I reported the definition of a person according to Kant. The rewrite "man's relationship with himself [it] is identified with his conscience." According to the dictionary is consciousness: the power of immediate experience, understand and evaluate the events occurring in the sphere of individual experience or in facing a future more or less close "(Devoto Oli). Feel, understand, evaluate terms are very demanding, could be serious ... riassumere in una sola parola: consapevolezza.

Dove sei , con chi sei, cosa fai, cosa stai per fare,…???

Sono tanti gli interrogativi che si fanno le persone consapevoli, ma la domanda più importante che ci si deve porre è “come ti senti?” facendo riferimento soprattutto a ciò che sente il proprio cuore, ovvero il centro di noi stessi. È nel cuore, infatti, che confluiscono la ragione e l’emozione (Lowen e altri).

Ed ora veniamo alle dolenti note.

L’esaltazione da parte di molti di una certa presunta cultura che rompe l’equilibrio tra istintualità, self-conscious emotions and thoughts in the relationship respectful of self and other, value-laden phallic instinct alone, is enough to lose, so devastating, self-mastery and the capacity for empathy.

What, then, that bitter and disconcerting is the attitude and utterances of those who, despite being aware of the distortion of certain behaviors, it is limited only to say that it was inappropriate to cross the border between the private and the public. Applicant is in fact that they say: "at home anyone can do what he wants." So saying they are not totally taken into account the consequences estreme di ciò in violenze domestiche e moltiplicazioni di stupri… Costoro sottovalutano che noi italiani, vergogna!, siamo tra i più numerosi frequentatori del turismo sessuale minorile!

Affronto un argomento così dolorosamente scabroso in quanto convinta che esso trovi le radici proprio in quella soprannominata “cultura”. È vero, tra gli antichi popoli (Greci, Etruschi, Romani… nostri antenati!) era praticato lo stupro, anche sui bambini, a conferma della mascolinità ma, nel nostro tempo viene d’altro canto riconosciuto il diritto degli animali!

Sembra impossibile che ancora oggi ci sia gente che giustifichi se stessa (“la flesh is weak ") and tolerates behavior vulgar eroticism and unpaid ...

Galimberti says:" We are in an age where sexuality is too exhibited by advertising in newspapers, on TV where a little boy free access to the lines erotic porno films. This exhibit requires a maturity that is not ... "and finally Galimberti again," every rape, every act of violence, whoever is the perpetrator, is the failure of the educational process, is not he taught to regard the other as a person and not as a thing. "
