Dear Baby Jesus,This year you have taken away my favorite singer, Michael Jackson,my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze,my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett,my favorite announcer, Mike Bongiorno,my poet favorite Merini Alda.
I wanted to tell you that my favorite politician is Silvio Berlusconi,and that the year is not over yet!
now runs the network an updated version that also appears with Marrazzo Transit (Ford) ... No comment!
Italians are almost African, almost European, almost island, almost modern, almost pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel almost. We always keep a door open for the "almost" allows us to remain on the square.
... I Sicily is not a newspaper or illiberal mafia: it is a provincial newspaper, with a lot of mistakes.
Then I like the people, the granita. Without being arcisiciliano. I will not communicate with my ancestors when I eat a grenade.
If you arrive at that point I complain to managers and politicians! 
"In the world we are known for something of negative ... What you call blister ...Benigni was a genius all know by now, and I like a good Sicilian I can confirm that Sicily is effectively overwhelmed at least three wounds, except that mine is wanting to confirm the number, the three plagues mentioned in the film should be at least extended to include concepts wider.
A terrible, and you know what I mean: Etna, the volcano, but it is a natural beauty ...
But there is another serious that no one can solve, she has already figured out ... The Drought ... Burn the land and drought, a bad thing ... But it is the nature ... and we can not do anything ...
But where a man can do something and does nothing, is the third and most serious of these wounds That defames really Sicily, you have already understood, it is useless for me to tell him, I am ashamed to say it: The Traffic ... too many cars ... traffic swirling that makes us enemies families against families. "What
I think the first plague that afflicts Sicily, at least in its eastern part, are The Earthquakes . There is a dangerous fault line that runs along the Ionian coast and history teaches that the energy that accumulates in the ground should be issued periodically. will be helpful to take a quick look at the latest edition of the seismic hazard map of the country, issued by ' National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology :
From a closer look shows that in Italy areas in the range of likely acceleration major (indigo) are present in only two regions of Italy: Sicily and Calabria. I do not want the Calabrian indigo but the part marked in their region, passing through an area (the Sila) is not densely populated, than the speech for Sicily:
In short even Civil Defence has recently announced that Syracuse is the area with the greatest seismic hazard of Italy, and fun for people who live there, especially considering what materials have been poorly built our homes, schools, etc.
According to me the second wound is The Hot . There bisogno di Al Gore per capire che una terra che per 4 mesi all'anno presenta temperature invivibili per l'uomo (ovviamente senza l'uso di climatizzatori e condizionatori) non può avere altro futuro che la desertificazione.
Infine secondo me la terza piaga che affligge la Sicilia sono Gli Italiani : sono dovunque, non c'è bisogno di girare molto per trovarli, basta avvicinarsi alle strisce pedonali e cercare di attraversare. Oppure basta cercare di fare una coda in un ufficio o negozio affollato non munito di scontrini con numero elimina-code. Oppure basta partecipare ad un appalto pubblico per sentirsi chiedere una mazzetta come se fosse la cosa più normale the world. Or vice versa, just open any business being asked for protection money (yes, I think the Mafia deliberately omitted Advocate / uncle is a sub Italianness).
I do not know if I die buried in the rubble of my house-like concrete, but if I'll have a heart attack under the August sun, or even while I am overwhelmed by the pedestrian crossing: for sure but I know by heart a citation of animated film Madagascar :
you keep a secret, two-color friend? Have you ever seen penguins walk the streets of New York City? Of course not. Not This is our place, it is our habitat, this is a kind of infernal trap crazy! We go there in the boundless spaces of Antarctica! In nature!
So yesterday I had the patience to arm and had to write a cancellation letter which follows (the reading is uplifting in a way that explains step by step I had to endure the ups and downs).
In computing there is a well-known programming language whose name is written C + + and that in English is pronounced roughly "is plas plas" , well, in Italy with a questionable melting pot language this language common usage is often called "We plas plas" , or with the initial letter delivered in Italian language and the symbols of addition with the pronunciation English.
Why do not all pronounce it in Italian? The diction "there more than" we would do more honor, but also for the more Anglophone version international "is plas plas" should be just fine. It 's the mix that is really horrible!
It 's a case similar to that of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI in short, an acronym that for some strange historical reason we read in Italy officially "bi effe to" ( instead of "the bi effe " all in Italian or" f bi to " all in English ...).
I say that in this case is became official pronunciation is wrong, because now not only used but also in common use in films and TV series produced in Italian or dubbed anyway.
Mah! Better go eat some 'bran ...
At the very kind reception secretary showed him the catalog, on which it is stated:
brain of an engineer: CHF 15,000 / KgStartled, he exclaims: "One million francs a kilo! Excuse me miss, but because of the physical brain cost so much?"
brain of mathematician: CHF 30,000 / Kg
physical brain: 1'000'000 CHF / Kg
And the secretary replied: "But you know how many we kill to put together a kilo?"
For those who were not Aboriginal I point out that in Italianate Siciliano is very common to use expressions like "Enter the car in the garage" , "Exit the water from the fridge" , "Go shopping" or "Get keys" . ..
My mini-dictionary for migrant students then provides the exchange of these verb forms with the Italian forms of the correct type "Move in, out, up or down" but "Store" and "Pull ".
The most comic thing is that as I got to experience for themselves, some verbs are transitivizzano moving towards the South of Italy: quindi anche i Napoletani, che tanto ci prendono in giro per questo motivo, ogni tanto si scoprono a dire cose del tipo "Scendo i bagagli al paese" ...
I write this text to enter into the merits of the "leaden years", terrorism, black or red, and all topics related to them, but to highlight how the mainstream media just to fill the schedule or the pages of useless things today try, especially television, not to speak of this international economic crisis and its effects or make an analysis of "technical and journalistic" of our current Government, especially in light of the objectives stated.
