Terk Tower Antenna Dx

The first time you do not forget. Never!


Abstract: If the previous article was largely incomprehensible to most people, given the presence not only of references, but allusions to characters (albeit historical) that from time to both appear on the parquet NBA, this will be even more.

(Porte the obligatory apology, let the point).

November 3, 2008 (yes, you go backwards),

Monday, to be precise.

Esco, Fury from the period 5 and as already mentioned several times by the name of "Basketball." Fury go home shower, change clothes, and off we go. Ah no, it lacks one thing that will be very, very important. The camera. Now, we go.

2 hours of Interstate 20, the road (so to speak) they really do not see neither the beginning (North Carolina!) Nor the end (West Texas). When we finally seeing the first skyscrapers, you realize you have come, if downtown Dallas is your destination.

Meanwhile in the two hours spent traveling, call the child to surveillance for people in a state of probation in Longview. In other words that would Mr. Wesley, whose offspring by the name of David. David (Wesley ed.) Former Cleveland (and much more, but this will be dealt with in the future), that of the Finals two years ago, says to stay at the hotel where the Cavaliers would be there because a friend who procure tickets for the match of the night. Cleveland at Dallas.

The hotel, stuff for at least 3 zeros at night, two hundred yards from the American Airlines Center. So scenic ride around the estate of Mark Cuban, and so the hotel, which lies in between a 20-storey building with various offices and shops of different products but with a common denominator: the number of digits on the label, impractical. Apart from the scenic ride around, we go (I and Sg. Filippazzo) to the hotel lobby, where Amanda is waiting for us. Amanda is the director of marketing of the Cavaliers, and that gives us two tickets for a newbie like me is pure gold. Tickets from the 90 bucks a section where the press sits, which are the lowest in the ring with you and not a dozen yards from the field. A dream.

So that having made the most sincere greetings of gratitude, we move to the palace that night, of course, is expected to be filled to maximum capacity of 19000 spectators. Among other reasons, there is one that has a name. LeBron.

arrive soon, very soon indeed, with a clear idea of \u200b\u200btaking two temporary seats on the sideline, so remember to get a few autographs from the players go by. The hope is that the chosen distance, but as hope is not said is true. And it will remain so. In return, we get two or three autographs including rookie JJ Hickson (to keep in mind), Boobie Gibson and Andy Varejao, I also dedicate the honor of the photo you see up there.

addition to this, as we said there was a game to play. Let's face it, not the most exciting of all time, because it is just the beginning of November and LeBron is not in the mood to enhance. It will finish with 29 in agility. The Mavs lost at home the game that will start the streak (range for the truth by the victory of San Antonio, but these days no text) of six consecutive defeats. Fans furious Mavs, Mark Cuban did not even speak.

After the game, however, runs back home, and with it the harsh reality. As a first time

absolutely not bad, if not more than the outline of the game itself, but with Dirk and LeBron on the court (to name just two, eh) is a priori more than respectable. Meanwhile

now waiting impatiently for the Knicks (who at Sg. Filippazzo very much at heart), in the hope of seeing a free-range Gallo, although probbilmente even that is and will remain a hope.

Jacopo.

PS: Two notes. Firstly, if someone still has in mind JJ Hickson, behold, the rookie's cousin and himself, both from Georgia (or any state "to further") sits below a row of us and makes us see with showy impatience thing, even if the poor family will not set foot on the field. Omitted.

The second is to be attached to the chapter on "emotions" is deliberately left out that the episode is staged at the hotel. Two seconds after receiving our tickets, we go out there and decide to calm it's time to relax for a moment at a table in Starbucks. There is no way. Two minutes later the bus NBA, so players, staff, marketing directors and so on. boarding the bus, we all march to a couple of meters. The last, dressed all in black with two old-style headphones over his ears, and LeBron, who in addition to carrying the bag also brings a shiver. Oh well, there's just way to relax eh.

Minidv Vcrs Teacher's Favorite

The Mavericks and the Maverick, two different stories.

November 4, 2008

"Hey James."

are now past the 10, rather than the school, as the daily double training session, you hear. We are more or less time to fall asleep in fact.

That name, pronounced for the umpteenth time with family quell'ormai American accent, has something more strange tonight.

"Come here, look at this."

I had left the Spurs to four minutes from the end of the 4th quarter against the Mavericks under sixteen, that night seemed to have been blessed by the most important gods of basketball. But Dirk was not amazing in the evening, 30 in 37 minutes. I had almost believed it, I do not know what logical support, but I must admit that I almost believed it. Maybe Gregg, even though the new style less admiral and more man lived (see unshaven for several weeks now) offered support for that view, but still remained on earth and therefore impractical, given the divine presence that night had dropped the AT & T Center.

So very reluctantly I head towards the tv, which I feel to get a noise of people yelling. As if the Spurs had miraculously reassembled. Yes, this time I'm almost convinced. The screen shines a white number on a blue background, which more or less takes up the whole picture: 284. Frankly, too, even if there were the old Suns, let alone the team Popovic.

"Look, this is Chicago, he's gonna talk in a minute! "

On a stage surrounded by thousands of people is the one. Downtown Chicago is the backdrop to the new president of the United States. 284 are" seats "(translation by" electoral votes "I escapes) and Barack Obama, at 10:20 on the time of the Windy City, has just earned. 270 they needed for victory. From then on, though staying with the popular vote in the balance, will be a massacre: 365 to 162. But now no one cared even more. The first African-American man was elected President a few minutes from the United States. stuff is incredible. No fact, no one believed it. Those who had voted for the man from Chicago was pretty sure that the 'America is not ready for everything, while supporters of the Maverick (looking at you, coincidences) against the unbelievers banging the remote control television, convinced that this, more than many other things, will bring more harm than good. Some people then resigned, saying instead that (exact words) if our president is black, we can not do anything, we just have to accept the harsh reality. So that this is frightening, but even though English still limps sometimes, the sense of those words, I fully understood. And I question the need explanation.

Apart from that, I think this episode in some little book / almanac in one way or another is bound to finirci. And being there with someone who in the end we had hoped, but in his heart he did not want to put too much hands on, is one of those things that you reconcile. With the world, with America. If then the next morning, Professor of law, husband and son in the military, Texan to the bone and apparently convinced Republican, says that in eight years the friend of the maverick has done "more damage by hail" and therefore the cronies do not deserve another 4 years in DC, then I will reconcile with everyone else. All the other poor (excuse the rant) fools who believe that the color is worth more than all the rest. And then blue (the color of democratic ed) is, and it's always darkest, almost black, if anyone is inclined to create an analogy. To all the other poor fools who have the history under the eyes, and he does not want accountability. Thanks but all of America that the Democratic or Republican, who realizes that maybe since November 4, 2008 something has changed, beyond ideology and politics, something that has evolved, has improved. Thanks for letting me touch the story.

who deserves special mention if then, according to ocean reserves the right (and how not to expect) various amenities on the new service, "taking the trouble and of course the taste" to pass by idiots sixty million people. Oh well, there is the little one in the great, he thought someone with her while ... Perhaps it will be. As the writer think more or less known.

Jacopo.

Looking For Aspupload 3.0.0.6 Patch

Never forget November 5th



Obama Won ... for an article on, wait at least tonight I get home.

Meanwhile, I will present my article on November 5 and the Italian situation.

From V for Vendetta.


forever remember November 5th, the day of the Gunpowder Plot against the parliament. I do not see why this should stop the plot in time. But the man?

I know that his name was Guy Fawkes and I know that in 1605 tried to blow up the English Parliament, but who was he? What kind of man was he?

They teach us to remember the ideas and not a man because man can fail, the man can be captured, can be killed and forgotten.


"Good evening, London. First of all to apologize for this interruption. How many of you I appreciate the comforts of routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. Rejoice like everyone else. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or after an awful bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November 5 One day, alas, sunk into oblivion, by subtracting a bit 'of time in everyday life, to sit and chat. Some will want to remove the lock, I suspect that at this time orders are being shouted on the phone and will soon reach the gunmen. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power, because they are the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is that there is something terribly wrong with this country. Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and surveillance systems, which force you to acquiesce to this. How did it happen? Whose fault is it? Certainly there are those more responsible than others will have to answer for everything, but once again, to tell the truth, looking for a culprit, you need only look in the mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. And who would not have had? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and mental chaos meant that you turned to the High Chancellor, Adam Sattler. He has promised peace and order in exchange of your silent, obedient consent. Last night I tried to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed in our memory forever on November 5. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown, I suggest you let pass unnoticed on November 5. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you are looking for as I am, I ask you to stand beside me, a year from this night outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a November 5 that will never be forgotten. "


Never forget November 5th.

Then tomorrow we talk about America.

Calories In A Slice Of American Cheese

(AP) praises the American school

denigrate the American school is that, more or less, without ever having seen, we do. To say that deep down also has its positive sides, which is more or less everyone who saw it, they do. Sometimes holding together 2500 people of color, race, ideas, different thoughts is impossible. It 's why we need to take to school the police.

But, when you can see that those colors, those ideas, those thoughts fit together, you'd think that is not the little man in a blue suit with a pistol on your belt to have done a good job, but others around him in 2500. Then everyone thinks his own way.

Here, at least the school, do not see what color you are, if you vote Obama or McCain, if you are five feet or if you have two ten. Here the school is a place where first you learn how to live, according to one learns the "superfluous": history, geography ... Why "out there" people who despite being in school is reluctant to not understand the hint is low, and continues with impunity to destroy what others build. Because if we think about it is true, especially the Americans inside the borders to seek to themselves and other "peace and freedom." Yes even outside, but that's another story.

mean public school? Do not be thrown away, indeed. Longview High School, attended school but not even that much, offers 100 courses and passes, starting from the kitchen (!), Shifting from more traditional mathematics, lastly doubt learning courses such as "floral design" or "bible survey, but not put your hands on it, then someone takes it up personally! But what is surprising is not the presence of such, but the high attendance. The cooking class then more water is required in the Sahara. Witnesses said that a year before you need to register to attend that course. Class instead of physics consists of less than 17 pupils and the level is not that stellar. Then I try to imagine the everyday average cooking class. No, I can not (and is said with all due respect, eh). But belonging to the level, it is considered that the public school, not getting a genuine accident if not for the vital functions. And yet, there are clubs such as golf, tennis, English club, that of France. How? Donations.

Example: the basketball team, annually, is moving in with coaches, and stay at the hotel for longer trips, with only money in donations. Yes, because as mentioned earlier, the state (in this case Texas, which is also very generous!) Pays the public school. But as we all know, on the left side of the ocean often prefer to rely on the genius of individual popolanti, rather than to structures of more "obamiana (concedetemelo, please) accessibility.

And so, poor us, we find ourselves in a school that stinks, it falls apart, do not teach you anything and you have cops who go around at all hours. If you want to you can even see that. From the point of view "real" instead, the public school is one of those things he teaches. It teaches you to see the world, because in there we find the worst hicks, but we hardly find the Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, the school teaches you that, in addition to teaching multiplication, you must provide a model for when you're "out there". The sport, at least for me, gave me more life lessons than I would have done Aristotle. But we basically talked about that enough. What matters is that you try to do the best with the resources we are given, to make less bad what is bad, and the important many times is not the result. But the spirit. The fact that once again has demonstrated an effort to improve, not to be perfect. The realization that to be the worst there is, is not a handicap but a point from which an advantage to exploit. Against whom? Against themselves, against their own limits. It seems to understand why four hours from Longview, TX, forty years ago, someone started to get to see lunar craters (or so they say, but even here, that would be another story.)

This really sad, then, to see how somewhere in the world, rather than improve, try to tamper with something that, thank God, seems to work. And if it's a matter of policy, budgets or financial. If as a matter of pride, that lesson in that same part of the world seem (seem?) Have never learned. It is a matter of spirit, that we should push to go beyond the old to the new head, Shameless mistakes. In Italy, however, the lesson is given, it is always better than a forward one step back, better security (ephemeral) an embarrassment to have at least tried to do something.

Two cultures? Two different ways of thinking? For me, just two principles of Newtonian nature equal and opposite. Only one pulls forward, and the other pulls back. What is wrong? Have you, but I like the direction of time. Forward without stopping.

Jacopo

PS: an Italian representative on earth of Texas, welcomes in this imperfect world to its namesake, certain that he, too, nell'indubbia human imperfection, it will follow the direction of the perfect time. Good Luck James (and confides in his uncle).
