How Long Do The Sims Stay In Jail



coup attempt



We had announced that Dominic Principe Pallavicini in part, in the Great Council of nearly the end of winter would not be a surprise or maybe not. On the other hand, the climate is favorable to the surprises, so many arguments, some unavoidable distractions and you're almost done, it goes away in a hurry, do not we focus on the points and commas, and if no one notices, what you have no shame di dire in chiaro, viene votato da tutta l’assemblea che manco se ne accorge, meno uno, Canio il promotore. Così sembra che succede con la proposta di gran maggioranza che vuol disciplinare, oltre che il gioco con l’azzardo, anche la pubblicazione degli atti sul sito Web ufficiale del Comune. Occorre dire che, dal primo di gennaio, pubblicare gli atti in questa forma è diventato un obbligo di legge voluto da Brunetta, ora però Canio lo vuole disciplinare perché non se ne abusi...sic! Fin qui nulla da dire, anzi mettiamoci anche un termine per evitare di pubblicarli con un anno di ritardo, ma questo a Canio poco importa, Lui invece ci infila un articolo innocente, fatto forse di due commi e poche righe e il gioco è fatto: removed from the publication year of a thousand acts of the City, those of management. He can do? Yes, if the Council so decides. The point is that they should not do because, despite all their electoral programs where put in transparency, participation and I do not know that, with these codicils is rather like the dictators of North Africa or the capital of communist China, when he goes bad, off the network and good night.
Canio has warned, if the codicil will not withdraw the barricades, just as in North Africa.

780is Canon Timelapse



Maxiconsiglio


Rude awakening to Canio, on the eve of the next spring equinox, break the lethargy and, in spite of the winter season does not seem to get out, put his signature under the document convening a maxiconsiglio, where it puts all that was left in the drawer. The result is an endless list containing a bit 'of everything, what Canio wants and what he perhaps would not, but this time he made a superhuman effort and has also decided to remove the tooth that hurts, whatever the cost sacrifice. At 21 pm, it was almost a fight, and then fix the call to all Chief Executive Officers. The time is not just the ones best suited to start working, but doing things in the light of the sun is not something that seems normal event in our local government. So we know the date and time of the beginning, but guess the time and the end of the day, this time, is not very easy, there are in fact disposed of 30 topics on the agenda, not quite equally divided: 10 and 20 are majority minority, and always super. The objects we have already published elsewhere and put all in a row, some of them we did a report in more detail and say that there are no surprises this time, I would not tell, and Pallavicino aside, you'll see some nice surprises will miss out.

In short, to think that three or four hours and it all ends, good night, bye see you, if all goes well, next year, if you think this Canio, if you forget.

Signs Of A Farting Stomach



Two more questions


Arrivata, era ora, la notizia sulla convocazione del Consiglio per mercoledì due marzo prossimo, ci affrettiamo ad anticipare altre due della fila di domande che superminoranza ha preparato per formulare al caro Canio, e così dopo tanto silenzio avere le risposte, così almeno hopefully. Here are the other two questions, the other a bit easy 'and not always lined up one behind the other .

The ghost register : Following up on previous questioning presented a few months ago, given the importance of the issue in terms of the Stability Pact, are addressed to the Mayor Alderman demographic and delegate to the Services to know what was after that exam held in the Council, the state of population movement. They specifically ask to know:

1) How many have been from that date, reports of new enrollments to demographic immigration and how many of them have been successfully trained.
2) If and how you started a campaign and special assessment in order to verify the existence of people officially registered, the requirements of stay or application for registration office to register to another municipality.
3) What results has been given an assessment year and if you have not started, to know the reasons and intentions for the near future.

Stresa Service Ltd: The interpellanti recall that an act of the City Council meeting held on 10.6.2010, the City approved the recognition of the activities undertaken by the Company Services Ltd Stresa. what activities are strictly necessary for the pursuit of institutional objectives of the Authority, authorizing and confirming the participation of the City as sole stockholder. Similarly, in the same text as a deliberative body, however, reserves the adoption of the measures provided for by law and aimed at private sale to at least 40% of the shares. Foregoing, as some problems of interpretation of the rules were, by law, have now been resolved, since the same Stresa Services, foster without competitive tendering of its managed services, should now implement that requirement of legislation, being able to continue operations in Stresa Services, to maturity provided by the service contract, provided that by December 31, 2011 the government yield at least 40% of the capital to private shareholders selected through a public bidding process, giving rise to the model of the joint enterprise, public-private partnership.
All of the circumstances and whether the regulatory framework in this reconstructed interpellation conforms to the current one is to ask the Mayor to know what are the prospects about the methods and time to arrive on time, ie not later than the deadline Last of the 31/12 this year 's, (otherwise the sanction of the urgent cessation of management), to bring in the implementation process of transformation of society, held for the full, in mixed company or, alternatively, there is a some other project, while still lawfully continue aimed at the whole sale or liquidation of the company same.

Funny Doll Color Changing Eyes

Claude Lorrain, Landscape with Apollo and Mercury

             Tandis qu’Apollon joue de la flûte, Hermès – fils de Zeus et de Maïa – lui dérobe ses bœufs. Cet épisode des Métamorphoses , dont nous reproduisons le texte ci-dessous, a inspiré ce tableau de Claude Lorrain. Malgré l’effet pittoresque provoqué par les pics rocheux émergeant à droite, l’ensemble est très harmonieux. Le paysage vert au premier plan, le lac et les montagnes bleutées à l’arrière-plan, et le ciel dominant le tout divisent horizontalement l’espace en trois secteurs, selon une scansion que vient interrompre le bosquet touffu à droite, et l’arbre isolé à gauche. La scène elle-même semble n’offrir ici qu’un prétexte.



Illud erat tempus, quo te pastoria pellis                       680
texit, onusque fuit baculum silvestre sinistrae,
alterius dispar septenis fistula cannis.
Dumque amor est curae, dum te tua fistula mulcet,
incustoditae Pylios memorantur in agros
processisse boves: videt has Atlantide Maia                 
685
natus and sua arte Silvis occultat Abacta.
Ovid, Metamorphoses , II, 680-686.

In translation:
"It was a time when, under the garb of a rustic herdsman, carrying the led torches and puffing, you lived in the plains of Ilia and Messinia. It is said that one day, busy with your new love and the soft sounds you modules on your flute setting, you let tes bœufs s'égarer dans les plaines de Pylos, et que le fils de Maïa, les ayant aperçus, usa de son adresse ordinaire, et les cacha dans les bois d'alentour. »

halls night


The municipal regulation on games with slot machines, announced by Canio when he made the order complained of timetable is in the pipeline to the next Council will now finally set March 2 and its text has already been distributed to Councillors. Children, housewives and retirees as defined in the text, weak entities, will be protected from the temptation of an easy game and compulsions that seem to take so many players. So all in bed early, at 22 the lights go out the games inside the local bar which also take the damn machines and up to 10 am no longer light. But there are just bars or other public and here come the rules for those who are the salt are real, for games, the most serious ones, not the bar with some coffee, but shows at least 400 mq. where you "play" for real and only the adults will have access, including housewives and pensioners, including, but here they change the rules and here's the surprise, made in the last article as Canio has produced, revealing to us all again the next target for the revival of tourism, the largest of the nocturnal city lying along the lake: Starting the game at 15, the end of the game at four in the night.

Sore Throat Marlboro Mediums




Two questions Canio


Still waiting for decision on the convening of a Council at least once a season, we have to anticipate some questions here that Superminor prepared to make the dear Canio and so have some news about some issue, at least we hope, and know how the other thinks. So here they are the first two questions lined up one after another.

Funding Villa Palazzola : taking back some recent press reports are to ask the Mayor of updates to the state funding already allocated first and then subtracted from the Piedmont Region for other needs of the regional budget. In particular we want to know whether there are certain provisions of the Regional Order in the timing, manner and the same amount of resources that it intends to once again available for the construction of the building restoration, architectural and functional of the villa and its park. They also want to confirm and clarify the recent press reports about the provision by regional funding of €. 355,000.00 and if confirmed, what its destination. They want to know whether there are also plans for a change of use of use of the structure already set and if so, from what source have been raised, what would you think of new uses and whether they are compatible with the project already acquired or whether they require a redesign, even partial, of the proposed work. Finally showing the Mayor and enumerate all the activity from the same place for the refinancing of the investment and what steps will be taken soon to ensure the achievement of the goal.

Hotel School : The argument for returning to interpellanti know, recovering some recent press reports, what is the status of implementation by the Provincial, of 'Investment for the construction of new premises of the Hotel. They specifically ask to know:
1) If and how they were overcome the reservations that had been raised by the persons responsible in order to autorizzabilità landscape / environmental project.
2) If the Mayor is aware, however, a different approach adopted by the Office of the Provincial Executive as to the validity of the location , the site selected, implementation work.
3) If in the event of a change in direction from the Provincial, the City is available in a reasonably short time, to identify a ' alternative area that meets the technical requirements / legal-and economic-functional logistics needed to accommodate the settlement.

Tomorrow will continue to post more questions and then, well, a bit 'more patience, answers will come sooner or later.

Where Cani Find Mylicon In Toronto



Are you happy with the government Canio?
After six days ended survey launched to "know" the approval of the Government Canio almost a year before the elections plebiscite. Of course, this poll may not have any scientific value because they do not know the sample that has participated, but it is a fairly standard as informed visitors of the blog and then give an 'opinion, average qualified. The number of participants far exceeded the daily maximum 50% of accesses to date recorded, and then we can say that the quorum was reached and in this respect, we are satisfied. It 's also true that this is a sample may be too biased, but it is also true that it is a bias toward both sides. As for the results, Canio had gone badly, then he recovered very well to the end and end badly put back again with just 29 points on his side, a defeat. Of course compared to the plebiscite vote, if there is to think, just one year later , la curva del gradimento ha avuto una caduta cosi' rovinosa. Speriamo per noi che si riprenda e , prima o poi, riesca a combinare qualche cosa di buono, altrimenti i prossimi saranno tutti anni persi. Rifletta Canio dunque e ne tragga  conclusioni, perchè se il risultato del sondaggio non può estendersi a tutto il corpo elettorale, certamente sta drammaticamente  perdendo punti  in quella parte più attenta e più partecipe.

How Long To Receive Tax Refund Direct Deposit



A growing pool

Eccola mentre cresce la futura piscina ed è il caso di dirlo visto lo spazio che si sta prendendo dentro quel lido già così sacrificato. Cresce e si prende un pezzo della spiaggia, che era già poca, cresce messa dentro uno scatolone di cemento grande più del doppio della dimensione della vasca, cresce anche in altezza rispetto alle misure originarie, così si prenderà anche un pezzo della vista che guardava verso il golfo e non si bagnerà quando il lago crescerà pure lui. Certo che tutta questa crescita ha il suo costo, mentre costruire a quota di campagna costa meno, ma questo è un vezzo che sembra avere preso tutta l’Italia dove le strade, le ferrovie e quello che si può si fa per aria e non in terra, questione di prezzo finale, e farlo lievitare sembra la qualità dei nostri ingegneri ed architetti. Così anche la nostra opera omnia non è da meno e questo è il risultato che sta prendendo la sua forma; uno scatolone con vista sul sito promesso per l’Unesco, un altro filo nella collana della Perla del lago, un buco, no meglio un catino per l’acqua artificiale, come fosse quella minerale, accanto all’acqua naturale. Opera turistico/strategica, senza di essa il Pil locale sarebbe andato a fondo e forse mai più tornato a galla; suvvia è una gran sciocchezza, avesse la Perla risolto tutti gli altri suoi problemi, poteva anche permetterselo, ma è ferma, con le sue toppe, all of them intact, and is swimming in the air and not on earth.

Blush (woodland Hills)





junkyard


Some time ago, it was last November, Superminor made in the Council a question: How many were the damages caused to third parties, from 2006 to 2010, due to road dangers. The request stemmed from maintenance conditions of the roads, as is known, was and is a Swiss cheese.
Now, after some time, we can provide data that could also read the book by opening the computer and looking at the City of publication of Resolution CC. 113 11/16/2010:
Survey period: January 2010 2006/ottobre .

claims reported
claims recognized
claims pending definition
claims are not recognized
deductibles paid by the City
compensation paid by the company
53
25
7
21
€. 5776.00
€. 55482.14


In summary, in a time of four years and ten months have been, until now, paid more than € 61,000.00, while still remain to be defined seven complaints left. The peak of claims denunciati e riconosciti è stato il 2009, con 17 denuncie e 8 riconoscimenti. Non sappiamo però come sarà chiuso, definitivamente, il 2010 e quanti saranno, alla fine, i risarcimenti pagati in quest’ultimo anno. Sino ad ora quindi, una media provvisoria di oltre 14.000 euro l’anno di danni arrecati e riconosciuti. Alto anche il numero dei sinistri non riconosciuti, segno di una propensione, o di una tentazione, visto lo stato delle   strade, a farsi aggiustare la macchina dal Comune.

Attraversamenti: il rebus


Rimane invece ancora, sostanzialmente, non attuata una mozione consiliare che superminoranza aveva presentato sempre lo scorso tardo autunno e che, miracolo, era stata approvata da tutto il Consiglio. Essa riguardava la messa a norma degli attraversamenti pedonali lungo la statale. Pressochè nulla da allora è cambiato e non se ne conoscono i motivi , ma non mancheremo di chiedere notizie. Intanto, per chi voglia saperne di più , illustriamo qui i tre modelli esistenti di attraversamenti: quelli con cartello verticale, ma senza strisce; quelli con strisce, ma senza cartello verticale e infine quelli che ci sono, ma non si vedono. Nel Palazzo, evidentemente, non applicano il principio di prudenza e non devono essere molto preoccupati to pay other damages. Let their fingers crossed.

Whats A Good Oxygenating Toothpaste



             Una tantum , laissons les deux grands Français du Seicento romain pour regarder une toile mineure du XVIIIème : la « Vue du château Saint-Ange », de Gaspard Van Wittel. Il s’agit d’une veduta réaliste, bien que l’artiste ait évidemment choisi un point de vue qui lui permette une composition symétrique, et qu’il ait vraisemblablement réélaboré le paysage qui apparaît au premier plan. On est d’abord séduit par la permanence du site où s’étend la Ville Éternelle, la moins abîmée sans doute des grandes capitales européennes, et l’on admire ensuite ce que nous avons perdu, la proximité de l' agro romano , remplacé après l'unité italienne par les quartiers humbertins  - nous dirions hausmanniens -  puis par d'inhumaines banlieues. Grâce à ce Hollandais installé en Italie, nous entrevoyons, l'instant d'une visite au Palazzo Sciarra , ce que fut la campagne romaine qu'arpentèrent, un siècle plus tard, Goethe et Chateaubriand.

Other waste of money?

The title bears a question mark and still leave the answer to the question addressed. Of course when compared to € 5,000,000.00 in available each year, the government of Canio, those can make you laugh 8000.00, less if you bring along with many others who in one year fall by the wayside, but perhaps that of 'amount of expenditure which is also the subject of an application, however, shared by the entire group and not only by the author, is not the point, because the intention of that gesture only to be a bit 'naive, some will see a feeling, no political implication, targeted at vulnerable groups and therefore we are sorry, but he emphasized the inappropriateness of a act so widespread that, because extended to all and too much, it loses its meaning, false, and reminds us that true. But let's move on to look in the basket and we know very well that the issue can be sensitive and not arouse even the sharing sensitive but because it is right to verify the effectiveness of spending. And 'the theme of this fact, a more questioning, also put on the next or the next Council Palazzo, we do not know, and the matter is, this time, a little 'more, the Convention of € 190,000.00 drawn long ago between Canio and the Congregation of Benedictine Sisters, which aims to help retrofit the structure of the nursing home Tadini. You are writing applications as they have been put on the table of Canio, no other comments or unnecessary controversy and waiting for the answer:
1) What is the total amount already paid to date by the City Council to the Congregation religious, compared di quali dettagliati interventi manutentivi ed a fronte di quale spesa complessiva sostenuta, per i medesimi scopi dalla Congregazione beneficiaria. In particolare chiedono di conoscere se le spese documentate si riconducano ad interventi indicati nel verbale ASL o se abbiano riguardato anche altri aspetti manutentivi non strettamente pertinenti la messa a norma tecnica dell’immobile .
2)       Quali effetti virtuosi   ha avuto la convenzione prodotta nei confronti dei residenti bisognosi di ricovero assistito, sia in termini di numero di soggetti che abbiano avuto, during the period, access to the facility, both in terms of reducing the amounts of monthly fees.
3) If the Administration, being aware of having received the said Congregation, under the full ownership of a property significant value, the site always in the town of Stresa, Magognino village, property currently held in use, consider this fact at least contradictory with the economic benefits that the City is providing.
4) Finally, because of unconfirmed reports, compliance costs and making technical standard of the nursing home would be much higher than € 400,000.00 initially hypothesized, but very nearly four times as much, there would be the 'possibility that even after the disbursement of € 190,000.00 prepared by the City, there will be no positive effect to achieve structural adjustment, resulting in repeated real risk of closure or transfer to another location, completely negating the effect of the contribution paid.

Letter For Disconnecting A Telephone Line




Other waste of money?


Superminor tries to look inside a shopping bag and asked him a question a cui Canio darà risposta nel prossimo o nell’altro prossimo Consiglio, non sappiamo. Superminoranza vuole sapere a quale titolo sono stati spesi €. 8.250,00 per recapitare a casa di 1065 residenti, giudicati anziani per la loro età anagrafica, una letterina di auguri di Natale, firmata Canio Di Milia, accompagnata da un piccolo presente. Per carità nulla da ridire se il Capo di una cittadella si ricorda dei suoi concittadini nelle feste comandate, ma qualcosa da ridire forse sì se il ricordo costa una cifra e se nella letterina pure ci si lamenta, quasi a giustificarsi del poco che si fa, che i soldi non ci sono. Insomma questi 1065 fortunati estratti a sorte per età, avranno passato un Natale fortunato nel pensare quale attenzione ha avuto verso di loro l’uomo che governa, cui però  si chiede di conoscere se la spesa effettuata, essendo un personale, suo  e della sua Giunta, atto di liberalità , non   finalizzato a portare alcuna utilità concreta ai 1065 fortunati vincitori, debba piuttosto essere addebitato al fondo delle indennità percepite dagli amministratori che lo hanno disposto piuttosto che non ad altre poste del bilancio.

Uno sconticino insomma dai quei 550.000,00 euro, uno più uno meno, da versare in dieci anni a Canio ed alla Sua Giunta.

Why Feet Shrink Pregnancy

Nicolas Poussin, "Saint Peter and John healing the paralytic"

Pierre and John went to the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. Now we brought you a cripple birth deposited daily at the temple gate called Beautiful the , to ask alms of those who entered. Seeing Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked them for alms. Then Peter stared at him and John, and said: "Look at us." He kept his eyes fixed on them, expecting to receive something. But Peter said: "Money and gold, I did not, but I, I give you: the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk! "And seizing him by the right hand, he raised. At the moment his feet and ankles grew stronger, with a bound he was up, and now he walked [1] .

Nicolas Poussin represented the moment when Peter reaches out his hand to that of the paralytic, while that John takes his left arm. The composition is particularly rigorous, and is organized around two basic shapes, a triangle and two vertical groups. The viewer rating soon, in fact, that the characters are grouped into a triangular pattern whose base is none other than the paving of the front, and the two sides are clearly marked: left, it follows a line from the shadow cast by faithful who prepares, bottom left, climb the steps of the Temple to a peak that is in heaven, right at the top and center of the table on the right, across the triangle passes through the middle of the corridor defined by the man in green and orange up the steps and the old bearded man in blue coat that goes down. This space is strongly framed by two powerful sets of vertical lines: the left two columns of the Temple gate marble ocher-yellow, and gray pillar at the end, right, facades Profile of the two palaces, one yellow and one white: all signs that accentuate the verticality of the representation, and therefore the transcendence of the event represented.
perspective leads first look at the center of the triangle, which is on the hand of St. Peter and the powerless, in a gesture reminiscent of spouse and father of Adam in the fresco Michelangelo in the Sistine . Peter is wearing yellow and blue colors celestial perhaps Poussin and he wanted to allude to his authority as Prince of the Apostles, and the miraculous power, so divine, he has at this very moment ;; Jean is shown in pink and light green, that is to say red and green mixed white, which could symbolize his youth, and which in any event, the overall balance, while stressing the role of Peter, painted in pure colors that strike more. Several processes contribute to further focus attention on the miracle and its translation gesture. The royal blue gown and mantle of the old dark gray faithful left separating the foreground, the event from the outside world. The left hand of St. John, lifted skyward, pointing exactly toward the top of the triangle, and returns twice, thereby causing divine miracle.
In total, the work spread over three levels. Foreground and down, we are witnessing the daily life of the Temple at the ninth hour: the characters are many, but yet so far gathered in a triangle, a symbol of the sacred in Poussin. At the top of the stairs in the center of the table and the action takes place by which the apostles healed the paralytic and show both the omnipotence of God and the mission entrusted to them. Finally, following the line through the foot of the lame and the left hand of St. John, the gaze is towards the top of the triangle which is at the end visible from the sky, that is to say, invisible to the place where Christ is that Peter is the vicar who is lead author of a miracle. At this point, the pictorial representation is beyond itself, to evoke a transcendence that is not representable.
