Reflector Telescope Can Not See A

Cassina Rizzardi 2010


Here we are telling the first round of the 2010 Master Bike CicliPozzi held yesterday, Sunday, Feb. 28, in Cassina Rizzardi.
I was expecting the usual invasion of white-blue-magenta mesh, instead I found myself on the grid only in the company's president and Mauro Ruben.
Even if the president is a bit 'angry, I'm sure most of you are preparing for the upcoming events, more important, certainly where the bike takes off Lomazzo great satisfaction. I expect you all, from the "Fantastic Four" to the new entry 2010 (in context, hello Matthew!).
Coming Cassina, usually pretty fast paced and not too challenging climbs. The fund was better than expected, with very few pools of mud.
Among the veterans, the President does succeed brilliantly into the top ten. For him, 9. position, followed closely by Ruben Milanesi, 14.esimo. Well done both, given the tough competition. Among the senior
Instead, I suffered a bit 'too much but I did finish the race in alternating positions in the past with former Renato Dell'Oro (and its 29'). Eventually he 22.esimo I 23.esimo. We hope to be in better shape to Lurago of Grass, the next stage of the Master, Sunday, March 14. Hello
to all and see you soon! Diego (Leoni)
Take a bike and ride your life!
PS: oops, sorry ... I forgot that in the meantime I changed my team! Forgive me, but write reports on Lomazzo is stronger than me ...!

Images Of Dark Brown Hair

One Sunday starting




Days Haitians come to an end.
parts only with a few answers to classic questions of when the plane before landing in a new destination.
How can it be? It was very intense 10 days, 10 days in which to see first hand the many concrete images, feels even more immune to a run of events that makes you feel really here to play at a time when the scale can tip suddenly from a side or the other, where the paths to follow for the reconstruction are numerous, but few will really benefit the people, if that first lived on average two dollars a day, now often do not even have those. And in global decisions have no voice.
What will happen? Especially in cases like these, the mind is wide open to absorb everything and take chances on the fly. There was not much to set up what I would do, the days were created from dawn to dusk without too organize future ones. So often the occasions they came out of nothing, other times I have found to spend a day frantically stops, while thinking about everything that I was missing, but coming in the evening where the benefits of a chaotic day you did not feel well for Starting in the grim days later.
Who will I meet? And this is the most difficult question to answer, because I have not made a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow it is really the people. This is because it is a very special moment in their history, even and especially when speaking of human relationships. The same Haitians if in some ways a great rediscover solidarity, others fight every day for a better state, prices have risen for us in the West that for them, and often there are fights about this. I think it's normal not be able to interact as I wanted, both for the language is because at this time to have white skin can lead to misunderstandings and difficulties, however, from various points of view. This morning I am having programs made a trip alone to Petion Ville. Son had to go back on my feet soon, only one is really hard to get around, let alone pull out my camera. And you immediately notice the difference from walking along with a Haitian, or in general to a man. Unfortunately
focusing on what just happened, I did not much Related to the culture here, because it is a moment of stand-by, also dragged down by the earthquake. And by the will of the government is organizing a month of national mourning. I do not think much of being in agreement with the fact that expressions such as music and more to be shallow at this time, indeed, in many cases would help an aggregation and sharing. Artistic events are cleared, the much famous painters here are taking a break, often devoid of inspiration, many other time to pause if they're taking the other side of the Gulf of Florida, Miami, New York .. . It is a situation rather static, it is thought to a future of reconstruction but for now we still have to clean all the tangled streets of the city from the heaps of rubble, you often still find an accommodation for many hospitals, to make a more dignified life for people living in tent cities without bathrooms and any minimum hygienic condition, you throw away heaps of garbage that with this putrefaggono sun in a few hours, repairing roads, whether the government has intended to resume the reins of the game ...

The thing I most regret in 'get out of here is that with the departure leaves the possibility to stay informed about what is happening, seeing the current climate in international journals. Luckily Internet is a great source in this and in some ways updates can be found in local newspapers.

Need Help Planning My Son's Baptism/birthday

Leogane






Leogane is located one hour from Port au Prince, 95% of homes were destroyed, 60 schools out of 61 are unusable. And 'the epicenter of the earthquake, right and left of the road is now happening all types of tents. Those who managed to get them, now sleeping in tents (mostly women with small children, and almost all the women here have, however, among their children, at least one under 5 years and am not all been so "lucky"). In this work area especially Canadians, allowing the people a direct exchange, given the common language, French. But the majority is now housed in makeshift camps, mostly made of wooden planks and sheets to the wind they see the very small temporary shelter. Today, Saturday, the day of commissioning and market, met mainly by going around small children. On the way, near Carrefour, a long row at least a couple of miles made up only of women waiting to take their food intake by the blue helmets. At 7 this morning, on my return, at 14 the line was even longer and the sun hot. On one side of the road, the women waiting for their turn, on the other side men, who are not allowed to receive food. A
Leogane were in a community a little 'inside, between the banana trees and bean crops lie infinite semi-transparent sheets. Here aid is almost there, the sheets waxed that slowly infused into the city, here they are still waiting and meanwhile make the proof of the rainy season with some rain that's been in weeks. It 's a very precarious situation that clashes with the bright green all around.
There's a lot to do, but above all, you need to come and aid that allow Haitians to become independent within a short time, and here and there feel interesting projects to be developed, by scavengers who are now in their thousands to clean up the town, a few ideas on how to create in a short time of buying homes safer containers which come with aid and turning them into housing much more.
The day was very intense, I go to sleep.

Are 22 Inch Rims On My Silverado Safe

A story that is no more






This morning I had a little 'time and for the first time since I arrived I pulled out the guide that I bought at the airport in Miami . A story that is no more, a story that can only tell you now, look in photographs taken through January 11. Not There is nothing more than what is written, only the skeletons of buildings. I've been around in the car for almost all districts of the city, even the gentleman who accompanied me was more in the past many of those places after the earthquake. He brought in his cousin's house, making me see how and where he died, the tomb is nearby and the house for the family will not be sold but will remain there as you are resting a little over a month ago. We passed many places known to him and his eyes all the time I have never looked at directly, but told me that even he could not imagine such devastation, and how large it was.



Everywhere around the city. There are house that remained standing, who wants to believe is a miracle, others give credit to Mescla sand and water better, the fact is' that appear in a desert oasis that gives little hope. And yes, do not get used every day I walk the streets of Port au Prince on my brain can not understand, can not imagine those 6 seconds that have destroyed everything. Downtown is alive only for the people who walk and take their time trying to take pieces of iron, wood, metal from the rubble, women selling fruit and vegetables, for men running with a mobile peddler. For the bulldozers that slowly reduced to remove the concrete piles.





Almost all activities are closed and many are burned before people can enter to take the things left inside. They prefer to scupper the entire material rather than allow this to be taken in any way. I am very skeptical about what has been said of the acts of looting, and even more so now that I have told you why many of flames in the buildings. In my breaks
internet in the hotel at 100m. I knew a bit from home 'of doctors, who told how on January 12 clinics were crowded with people, at least 200 for each doctor, at least, obviously unprepared for a disaster of this size. And so many fractures have been repositioned bad, many were not able to clean the land for the lack of water. They showed me the x-rays, which are full of iron in a femur bone a go on one side and one another. . In the haste of the moment was not easy to do everything perfectly, and these people will be able to walk again after a new operation. The doctors are still missing, even now, even after a month.
It 's almost 10 days I'm here, everything I've seen start to feel the fatigue. The house every day is filled with mice and rats, garbage is collected infrequently, but if so here, let alone in the streets where they are in 2000 with a few tens of meters square. People are forced to live in inhumane conditions and of course with time the situation gets worse, it is not easy to find a way to smile or a response to a bonjour.
Ps. I would put captions to the photos, but the graphics are against me.
