Life goes on...

When I was young, 40 years, in my imagination, were equivalent to an eternity.

Today I look back and I start to cry out, "Where's my life gone?"

And I prefer  to call them 4 decades: for some reason, they weigh less!
 In 15 days I'll be  handing over the personal records.

It looks really yesterday, when I compiled them with the names of the students of my new classes.

Luckily  the Ministry  makes us feeling young teachers: needless to talk about retiring!

Lawyers are expected to retire at 70's.

But  no matter how difficult a cause can be , it always cares less than 30 teenagers in complete hormone revolution .

In short:  there is still much desire to live and  fight, but the registry office is really merciless in showing the stark reality!

10 Clothing Basics to Buy for a Mix and Match Kid’s Wardrobe

Back to school time is the prime time to go through your child’s existing wardrobe and figure out what still fits and what’s no longer an option. It’s also the perfect time to clean out the closets and the drawers and get ready to add some new and fun pieces to her wardrobe.  Before you invest in new clothes, though, take inventory of what your child still has that fits.  Either take pictures of these pieces or make yourself a list prior to going shopping so you don’t double up on the same items.  To maximize her wardrobe, you will want to buy pieces that coordinate with the ones that she already has.

1. Jeans are a must.  Jeans are a wardrobe staple that match just about everything, so having a few pairs on hand is never a bad thing. Colored jeans are all the rage right now, so make sure to pick up at least one pair of those.  Stick to a few pairs of basic blue jeans as well so that they can be mixed and matched with tops.
2. Leggings are great for girls. For girls, leggings are a must wear item.  They can be paired with a cute dress or a long shirt, or they can be worn under a shorter skirt.  Choose basic colors like navy, black, and white when buying leggings so that you can mix and match them easily.
3. A basic white shirt goes with everything.  For both boys and girls, buying a basic white shirt is a closet staple. The white shirt doesn’t have to be a plain t-shirt though, and you can buy girls a pretty blouse and boys a white button-down or polo.  Make sure to use bleach when you wash these because a bright white shirt looks great, but a dingy gray one does not.
4. Underwear and socks are very important.  As kids grow it’s often overlooked if they need bigger underwear or new socks.  See how your child’s are fitting and assess if she needs some new ones.
5. A jacket or hoodie will allow kids to layer.  Fall is an especially tricky time to dress for the weather since it frequently changes throughout the day, so putting your kids in layers will help them stay comfortable all day long.  If it’s a little cool in the morning when he walks to school a jacket or hoodie will keep him warm, but you don’t want to dress him in a sweatshirt because by afternoon it will have warmed up and he will be hot.  Sometimes the air conditioning in schools can seem too cold to some so having a way to keep the chill off will make your child more comfortable.
6. Tennis shoes are a must for gym class.  Kids don’t necessarily need the latest and greatest brand name shoes, but they do need shoes that fit well and allow them to move quickly with ease.  Whatever your budget, it’s important that the shoes fit and support her growing feet.
7. Boys will need a pair of nicer slacks.  Sometimes schools will take the kids on a field trip to see a play or musical and ask that they dress up for the event.  Having a pair of dress slacks that can be paired with the basic white shirt that you’ve already bought will give them an easy option when they need to look a little nicer.
8. Girls may need a dress.  This dress does not have to be overly frilly and full of ruffles, but it shouldn’t be too casual either.  Find something comfortable that would be age appropriate for your girl.
9. Dress shoes are needed.  To go with the boys’ dress pants and with the girls’ dress a pair of dress shoes is needed.  Unlike the tennis shoes that will most likely be worn almost every day, the dress shoes can be inexpensive if they aren’t going to be worn frequently.  Buy something very basic, like a black or brown shoe that can be worn with most colors.
10. A winter coat is a must in most climates.  Some areas of the country will use this more often than others, but most areas will need a winter coat at some point during the year.  How heavy the coat is will be determined by where you live.  If you have almost six months of winter, like in the Midwest and Northern states, you will want to get a coat that is heavy or has several separate layers. Warmer climates may only need a light parka.

Buying clothes in basic colors can extend her wardrobe and increase her ability to mix and match her clothes.  Adding a hoodie to an outfit will change the entire look of an outfit.  Having shirts that can be worn with jeans, leggings, or a skirt will give her the versatility to make different looks throughout the year.  While these are just the basics, you should also plan to pick up a few special items for picture day or other times when she wants to look especially nice.

Let them walk!

Let them walk! They are marching for freedom.
Let them walk! They are not hiding anymore!
When people go out their homes,
 it means they need to go
and show they are alive!
We need to be poor together
or to be rich together!
You, one per cent, you can't stop them anymore!
Richness is to be shared
while you keep the other nintynine per cent
out of goods.
You priests of the profit,
criminals of finance,
stolers of money,
cheaters of ever,
trappers of men!
Stop your police
and let them walk!

The life comes from the sea

From the sea comes every life 

And from the sea came the ancient fathers of Sardinia;

From the sea they did get their food

Before they discovered

Our rich, great land of Sardinia!

From the sea came the roman enemies

Conquerors, destroyers

And after them

Other avid merchants

Came to exploit, to kill.

But I still hope

That soon this same sea

Which is named after us

Might define again

The borders of our own land

And Sardinian people

Might take the sceptre of command

That the fate and the story

Has assigned to them

And just to them

Ignazio Salvatore Basile

If I

If I were a newspaper

I would publish

just in the front page

all in capital letters

each and every day

"The 10% of people own the 90% of reachness";

If I were a television

I would show

just at any news edition

how the 1% of people

are impoverishing

and paupering

the 99% left!

If I were an opinion maker

I would say the people

that the Earth 

belongs to all the men

while a few of them

have risen walls and banners

to grab goods and money;

If I were what I am

I would say

as I do say

that now the time has come

to make justice and equity

and start giving to each man

what he deserves

what God has done

for every one.

Let them in

Let them in Mr President; they are the silent majority who is tired to see a greed, financial  minority exploiting the world.
Let them in Mr President; sit down and listen to them; they have a lot of things to say; they are the future of Mother Earth.
Let them in Mr President; Occupying Wall Street they want to show how a bunch of criminals have occupied the power and not by means of  democracy but with tricks and illegal behaviours.
Let them in Mr President; they are fed up to stand the 10% of people owning the 90% of reachness against the 90% of people.
Let them in Mr President; they want a new world of justice and USA must show the Country is for justice.
Let them in Mr President: you can choose to be with them or against them; with justice or against justice; with the New World or against the New World!

Rock'n Roll will never die

In the troubled Afghanistan young people have formed several rock bands defying taliban's integralism against western music.
Well, I belong to a generation who used to believe that Rock Music were a sort of Religion, a kind of ideology capable to bring love, peace and freedom, in order to save the world from the social diseases.
May be we all were a bunch of naif believers, victims of our selfillusion; and may be rock is not that kind of pure and sane ideology we belivied it was; may be.......
But I believed that this is a good new anyway!
