The Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

Allego la classifica delle piu' belle 500 canzoni pop del '900.
Non capisco perche' compaiano solo gruppi anglo-americani e soprattutto non capisco il motivo per cui ci sono i Clash prima dei Sex Pistols e i Rolling Stones prima dei Beatles e sinceramente i Led Zeppelin dopo il vaccaro di Johnny Cash (con tutto il rispetto che ho per i vaccari) mi sembra un po' strano.
Questi della rivista Rolling Stone saranno mica Americani?

Archivio

Guardate cosa ho trovato nell'archivio Scientifico dell'ohio... un articolo del 1901...
Il tipo aveva previsto qualcosa che poi sarebbe accaduto... e c'e' qualcos'altro... poi vi diro'... forse

Albert Sabin (26 agosto 1906 - 3 marzo 1993)

Ebreo, nato nel 1906 a Białystok, in Russia (oggi Polonia), emigrò in America nel 1921 con la sua famiglia. Nel 1930 acquisì la cittadinanza statunitense. Sabin studiò medicina all'università di New York e sviluppò l'interesse per la ricerca medica, in modo particolare nel campo delle malattie infettive. Dal 1946 è stato a capo della Ricerca Pediatrica all'università di Cincinnati Ohio.
I suoi studi sulle malattie infettive dell'infanzia lo portarono, soprattutto nel dopoguerra, a fare ricerche su quelle provocate da virus ed in particolare sulla poliomelite.
Sabin preparò il suo vaccino fra il 1954 ed il 1955, ma dovette attendere alcuni anni per la sperimentazione in massa del suo vaccino.
Sabin non brevettò mai la sua invenzione, rinunciando allo sfruttamento commerciale, per garantire una più vasta diffusione della cura.

Anche per questo motivo, oggi, la poliomelite è praticamente debellata anche se la vaccinazione presenta dei rischi come tutti i vaccini di questo tipo.
Sabin non ricevette mai il premio Nobel, ma l'Ospedale nel quale lavoro' a Cincinnati gli ha dedicato la sala conferenze.

CONGRATULATION DR. STEVE

Pero' il mio babbo almeno alla mia lavrea rideva!"

Nella foto ci sarebbe stato bene anche:

Il fascino del perdente esercita uno strano potere

Qua negli stati uniti una delle offese peggiori che si possano fare e' dire a qualcuno "You are a loser" oppure "You're a double loser". Conosco invece persone che si vantano di esserlo.

Il fascino del perdente esercita uno strano potere, nell'incitamento
al sacrificio, nell'eccitamento del sacrificio... di un politico piccolo
piccolo che nessuno ricorderà... se non nelle canzoni evasive (Marco
Parente)

Noi siamo quella razza che non sta troppo bene,

che 'l giorno salta ' fossi e la sera le cene.

[..]Eppure la natura ci insegna, sia sui monti sia a valle,

che si può nascer bruchi per diventar farfalle.

Ecco noi siamo quella razza che l'è tra le più strane,

che bruchi siamo nati e bruchi si rimane. (Roberto Benigni)

Il paese dove vivo in Italia e' Burel.

Non e' certo un gran che, ma se ti allontani un po' dal centro (47 case in tutto), puoi ammirare un paesaggio dove

"tre uomini combatterono per la liberta' e per difendere i sacri confini d'Italia dall'invasore ."

AIFRE

Da anni trascorro le mie vacanze ma Aifre...

Ecco alcune foto scattatenell'unico comune in Romagna dove Alleanza Nazionale supera di gran lunga Rifondazione.

Ecco i due amici storici. Il barista 'Stiano e Manuela che si dice abbia origineBrasiliane (si', te piacerebbe).

INGEGNERE - sottotitolo - L'ESAURITO si e' laureato

Dopo 15 anni di ingegneria elettronica anche l'Esaurito ce l'ha fatta...

non male... non male ESAU!

Foto dalla Romagna

Di ritorno dalla Romagna, vi posto alcune foto di strani individui che conobbi nel lontano '68 al concerto degli Slipknot che facevano da gruppo spalla ai gia' allora famosi "Beatles of Death in the reign of blood deep down the grave under the lord of the Darkness in combutt with the seventh son going around the perfect circle carried out by a perfet imbecill". Eh gia', quelli si' che erano bei tempi per il Tonic (genere che merita poi un approfondimento successivo... si rifa' comunque all'acustic metal).

BUON NATALE (in ritardo)

Tonrnato a Columbus di ritorno da Borello, ho notato che un mio amico mi aveva spedito una sua foto che lo ritraeva da solo vicino ad un albero di Natale.
Beh, allora... ne posto una anche io fatta il 24 Dicembre 2006 e gliela dedico!

P.S Vi assicuro che la mia e' molto piu' allegra!

LOSERS

Secondo me non conviene indicizzare gli array con perl.

In molti libri si legge che perl e' lento perche' i programmatori per testarlo lo usano come fosse il C.

Il perl e' un linguaggio per gente che ha bisogno di trovare una scorciatoia nella vita, che non si assume responsabilita', un malato della sindrome di Peter Pan che rifiuta le regole ferree di un qualsiasi C++ o JAVA.

Tra loro troverete, ubriaconi, prositute e biologi cacciati a pedate dall'albo mentre cercavano di trovare uno script genomico di 1000 righe senza mai sospettare il perl di una qualche caratteristica ad oggetti.

Si aggirano per la rete cercando uno script che non riescono a creare sperando che qualcun'altro lo abbia fatto per loro.

Sono i cosiddetti perdenti... non vanno al cinema, non leggono, raramente vanno in palestra e solo durante il Thanks Giving si lavano.

Sono i cosiddetti mentecatti... alle volte cercano di penetrare qualche sistema e regolarmente vengono scoperti come i piu' vili dei lamers.

Come ha descritto bene quel tale che veniva da non ricordo bene dove: "Sarebbe stato meglio per loro se non fossero mai nati, per loro saranno solo pianti e stridori di denti".

Ieri era il Martin Luter King day

Poesia "Martin Luter King" anonimo di Borello


Martin capisco Luter,
ma King, proprio no...
perche' della tua citta' natale tuoi forse genetli scegliettero cotal nome no...
non capisco,
Pinocchio torna dal padre che uccidera' il vitello grasso,
e' forse l'orgoglio dell'uomo che ti spinse a fuggire?
Fear of the Dark, Fear of the Dark... forse questo fu il loro problema (ma, piu' che altro il tuo)!

Sono tornato dalle vacanze di Natale e vi scrivo una poe... sia: "Buon 2007"

Poesia "Buon 2007" da anonimo Faentino

vongola, oh vongola del mio cuore di sabbia,
tu li distesa sul bagnasciuga che aspetti
il tocco di una femminea mano
la quale ti colga, ti lavi, ti soffrigga, ti mangi e ti sput...ehm
ehm fossile, oh fossile dell'era ohiozoica, ormai senza polpa,duro e
cretaceo, vecchio, bianco, grigio, senza capelli e senza vita,
attaccato al computer.. che martelletto-arcolog-spelologol-
cacciavite ti staccherà? cozza, oh cozze dell'impepata dde columbo,
spuntino archetipo del dinosauro di mare, perche ti ostini a
mangiare nidi di uccelli, quando nun c'hai neppure i canini...da
portare fuori a fare bisogno? tellina , oh tellina che piange e impreca
contro il bisonte quattrocchia,
le cui lagrime bagnano il cielo tutto,
senza pace il tuo respiro notturno,
ora basta, chetati e riposati,
il tuo animo ha bisogno di un risciacquo, di uno sciacquone,
lava via la sabbia, ammorbidisciti nell'acqua, lessati ben bene,
cucinati, arrosolati e poi mangiati...ma attento a non avere virus
che poi epatiti, ecc..

Addobbi natalizi a Columbus

Che cosa e' il gusto e cosa e' lo stile?
Non lo so piu', mi sto abituando all'orrido...
Persino i ciofani della confraternita non molto lontano da casa mia, hanno illuminato il loro centro di ritrovo per attivita' sessuali come se fosse una navicella spaziale... quasi come fossero creature sofane di un pianeta diverso.

10 December: Human Rights Day (Ah, gia'... oggi e' morto Pinochet!)

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages.

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,





Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Tenerezza

A volte si sente la necessita' di un po' di tenerezza e di poesia nella vita, soprattutto nei momenti difficili.
Persino uno come me, che non prende mai niente sul serio, a volte sente un po' di nostalgia e il suo cuore diventa piccolo, piccolo.
Se anche voi vi sentite cosi' ogni tanto... allora ascoltate questa poesia da uno dei pochi geni Italiani che sono ancora in circolazione.
