Där stod vi och blev helt lyriska och skrattade gott :-) Conny höll på och knäppte med händerna som Burt i Lödder alltid gjorde när han skulle göra sig "osynlig" i pinsamma situationer hahaha sååå underbart!! :-)

A report by the nation's racial equality chief found many ethnic viewers felt were under-represented in some of Britain's most popular shows.

Neighbours, which is screened on the Five network, and the BBC comedy The Vicar of Dibley starring Dawn French were singled out for being "all white''.

Other popular soaps including the BBC's Eastenders and ITV's Coronation Street also came under attack for including stereotypical characters such as Asian shopkeepers and black single mums. (news)

Rote rosen titola la versione originale della soap tedesca, in realtà non del tutto inedita nel nostro paese. Andiamo a ripercorrerne la breve storia, e ad esaminarla a livello di audience.

Destinata già la scorsa estate al primo pomeriggio di Canale 5, che avrebbe trasformato in una classifica tv privata stile Rete A degli anni '80 che non trasmette che soap d'importazione, con il titolo di Red roses (traduzione letterale dal tedesco all'inglese del titolo originale) ci si è per fortuna salvati in corner. Ecco infatti Rote rosen approdare nell'access prime di Rete 4 con il titolo di Segreti e passioni a metà maggio, in sostituzione del fortunato Walker Texas Ranger, passato poi ad Italia 1, a sua volta orfano del non altrettanto fortunato The O.C., che colmò temporaneamente (si fa per dire, andò per oltre due mesi) il vuoto lasciato dal quiz show Azzardo, andato a male dopo un paio di mesi scarsi di programmazione, con risultati non granchè soddisfacenti. Torniamo a noi. Segreti e passioni è in onda in tale collocazione per non più di una settimana, causa ascolti quantomai disastrosi (poco più di mezzo milione di spettatori con uno stentato 3% di share),e dopo appena una settimana viene soppresso, sostituito provvisoriamente dal telefilm Poirot, quindi da Forum, traslocato dal primo pomeriggio per porre rimedio al disastro (ma anche la Dalla Chiesa non è che sia andata poi bene!). Direttamente dal pomeriggio di Canale 5 arriverà poi Tempesta d'amore, che senza problemi in poco tempo riporterà la rete attualmente diretta da Giuseppe Fyles agli antichi splendori (mi riferisco chiaramente ai tempi, non poi tanto lontani, di Walker Texas Ranger, che seppur in onda da anni con episodi sempre in replica continua a riscuotere ottimi risultati). Walker tornerà poi con la fine di settembre. A Segreti e passioni viene data una seconda chance ed eccola approdare con le puntate in onda su Rete 4 in replica nella mattinata di Canale 5, che a quei tempi viveva di film e telefilm. Nel primo pomeriggio di Canale 5, intanto, durante l'estate, dopo il collaudato binomio Beautiful-Centovetrine, ecco approdare Vivere.

Di Segreti e passioni non si avranno tracce fino a questa primavera, quando su Mya, il canale del digitale terrestre Mediaset, riprende la messa in onda.

Riecco comunque la soap fare la propria apparizione nei palinsesti delle reti di Cologno. Questa volta tocca a Canale 5. Stando ai palinsesti per il mese di giugno, divulgati i primi di aprile dalla concessionaria Publitalia, Red roses sarebbe dovuta arrivare nella collocazione che già l'anno prima avrebbe dovuto occupare, ed eccola infatti in onda, ma con il titolo di My life. E' stato comunque ipotizzano che il cambio di titolo, oltre all'effetto novità che avrebbe dovuto sortire la soap, sia dovuto all'arrivo su Rete 4 di una nuova serie in onda in prima serata, dal titolo simile (alla versione Segreti e passioni), ovvero Segreti.

Dopo un buon esordio, dovuto anche al costante successo dell'italiana Centovetrine, che la precede nella tabella di marcia, My life si è man mano dimostrata in calo, assestandosi sul milione e mezzo di spettatori (16% di share).

Quel che ad oggi sembra certo è che dal 15 di settembre le vicende di Petra e compagnia traslocheranno nello slot 16.30-17, che occuperanno sino al 3 di ottobre (il 6 parte la striscia quotidiana di Amici, che si andrà a sistemare proprio in tal blocco). Non è ancora dato sapere se ne sarà ripresa la messa in onda, né soprattutto su quale rete e quando.

Santiago Diaz Herrera (Pablo Echarri) è un giovane avvocato che ha tutto: un padre giudice che indaga nel passato oscuro della dittatura militare, una promettente carriera da avvocato, una fidanzata, Laura (Laura Ledesma), bella e innamorata, un amico d'infanzia, Marcos (Joaquin Furriel), con cui condivide la passione per la scherma. Tutto cambia quando il padre di Santiago scopre che Alberto Lombardo (Oscar Ferreiro), il padre di Marcos, è coinvolto nella tratta dei bambini nati dalle donne fatte sparire dalla dittatura. Alberto approfitta di un viaggio in Marocco per eliminare Santiago, con la complicità di Marcos, segretamente innamorato di Laura. Santiago finisce in carcere per 10 anni e quando finalmente riesce a fuggire ha con sé le coordinate per recuperare il tesoro lasciatogli dal suo abate Faria. Conta anche sull'aiuto di Victoria (Valentina Lombardo), una giovane chirurga plastica argentina i cui i genitori sono desaparecidos, di León Rocamora, un misterioso e pittoresco mercante e ladro d'arte, e di Ramón, un agente dell'Interpol dalle molteplici abilità. A Buenos Aires Santiago scopre che suo padre è stato assassinato a causa delle sue indagini e che l'amata Laura si è sposata con Marcos, con cui ha un bambino di 10 anni, Matias. La vendetta di Santiago sarà implacabile come quella del conte di Dumas, ma non tutti i pezzi del mosaico sono come lui li ha immaginati: il matrimonio di Laura e Marcos è infelice, Matias è in realtà suo figlio e Laura non ha mai smesso di amarlo e di pensare a lui. La rabbia e l'odio si scontrano con sentimenti mai sopiti, complicando la sete di vendetta di Santiago.

La telenovela ha avuto così tanto successo che l'ultima puntata è stata trasmessa da uno stadio! Sì, avete capito bene, uno stadio! Un fenomeno televisivo ma anche sociale come avrete capito dalla trama che ovviamente verrà riadattato per l'Italia. Avrà successo anche qui? Presto lo scopriremo.

Hello friends, I'm back in business! I had a lovely two days off, and I think I've got my wind back.

While you all were, I'm sure, sobbing your eyes out over the lack of posts, I did a few nice things for myself. I cooked myself two extra-special dinners (including my all-time favorite, gourmet mac and cheese from scratch), hung out with friends and caught a couple of movies. I even managed to find a terrible yet awesome Bollywood flick based on a Dostoevsky novel. Totally hilarious. (Sorry, the whole three-hour movie is not quite as soft-porn as the preview would have you believe).

I was also finally able to test some incredible bubble-bath mix I got from MoonsHarvest a while back. And let me tell, this stuff makes bubbles! I doubled the dosage on a whim (two scoops? Ha! Make it five!) and was quite literally up to my ears in lavender scented foam. Seriously, this was princess bath-time bubbles. Towers of bubbles. Make-a-hat-out-of-it-and-wear-it-on-your-head bubbles. It made my night.

One other piece of exciting news? I'm considering night classes to study digital media! I think it would help my journalism career, and it certainly would be fun to test-run new techniques on you all. I'm a little nervous to take my life in a new kind of direction, but it also could be great. I don't know yet...will keep you updated!

A recent article in commondreams.org lists recent studies about the toxicity of the active ingredient, Triclosan which is used in antibacterial soaps.  

"Antibacterial Agent no Better Than Soap & Water and its Toxic" 

"Triclosan is an antibacterial agent used in many everyday products including liquid hand soap, dishwashing detergent, mattresses, shower curtains, bathtubs, and cutting boards.  Federal agencies continue to allow its use despite the fact it may be toxic to the developing fetus and child, and pollutes mothers breast milk."

"Triclosan has been linked to cancer in lab animals, has been targeted for removal from some stores in Europe for its health and environmental risks and the American Medical Association recommends against its use in the home..."

So what should you use when you wash your hands?  Plain soap and water is best. 

Pesticides Found in Soap, Toothpaste and Toys

Eastenders and Coronation Street suck massive donkey dick, this is not an opinion, it is fact.

That's not really what I'm going to write about however. I am, in fact, going to write about how I don't care if they stereotype ethnic minorities, and how you shouldn't either. Regardless of whether or not you're from an ethnic minority.

If Eastenders were to feature a grumpy, Irish, alcoholic who worked in the Docks, I wouldn't give a shit. I wouldn't take offence.

Why? Just because I'm Irish does not mean I go crying like a little bitch boy anytime somebody portrays an Irish man as being a drunk who sees leprechauns. I am a drunk, and quite often I drink to the point of seeing leprechauns, I find the stereotype itself hilarious enough for me to overlook the "racism."

And I only use the word "racism" here because I can think of no other word for what I see this as.

In reality I do not see this as racist, it is not racist to portray an Irish man as an alcoholic in a drama, nor is it racist to portray an Islamic fundamentalist as a gung ho terrorist trying to hijack a plane in a terrorist movie.

Why?

Because Islamic Fundamentalists do, on occasion, hijack planes and blow up American embassies, because Irish men do on occasion drink, because Indian men do, on occasion, own small corner shops, and because sometimes, it just so happens, that Jewish families, are really fucking wealthy.

So welcome to the real world you politically correct wanker.

In the real world, we do not gouge our eyes out before leaving the house in order to never know a man's skin colour, in the real world, I notice a black man in the street, as exactly that, a black man, I don't know what I should call him, black? coloured? negro? I don't know the terms, nor do I care, so I stick with black, because that's what he is, just like I'm white.

It's not racist to notice people's skin colour. It's not racist to portray certain races as having certain characteristics, because that's not what anybody in Eastenders was trying to do. There was no grand scheme plotted up by writers to portray ethnic minorities in a bad way, God knows there'd be a shit-storm if they did. It's not in their interests.

The most probable reason they've portrayed ethnic minorities in a "stereotyped fashion," is that they literally did not think about the fact that they were, for example, portraying a Jew as wealthy, or an English man as loud, or an Irish man as drunk... etc.

The people who make it an issue, i.e., those who decree, that BECAUSE this man is Indian, you have DELIBERATELY portrayed him as owning a corner shop, are the racists, you're the ones making that connection, when in reality, they cast an Indian man presumably because he was the best for the job. (I'm using this as an example of course, as I have no idea what goes on in Coronation Street or Eastenders, because both series are complete common pleb dirge.)

"It found that US imports have more credible representations of minorities, with viewers praising shows such as Heroes, Lost, ER and even the Simpsons."
here's a couple of short character biographies for the Simpsons.

Homer: stupid, fat, bald American. The perfect stereotype of an American man.

Ned Flanders, and the Flanders family: Typical ridiculously religious American family. Yet another lovely stereotype.

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon: An Indian man, who owns a convenience store, is in an arranged marriage, and has over five children... Yes, that's not an ethnic stereotype at all!

Groundskeeper Willy: Scottish, drunk, ginger and very angry.

Fat Tony: Italian mafia.

DR. Julius Hibbert and Bleeding Gums Murphey : The stereotypically thick voice of a black blues man.

The Muntz and Spuckler families: Rednecks

So far we have every American portrayed as religious zealots, rednecks, or fat and stupid. With the Italians all being Mafia members, the blacks all being in some way connected to blues, the Indians having convenience stores with lots of kids and arranged marriages, and the Scottish are drunks... Yea, the Simpsons totally doesn't use stereotypes at all!

The best part about this is, 1., stereotypes are used for comic value, the writers even stereotype their own races and religions, deal with it, 2., It's funny how those involved in the report picked up on none of this, showing just how unconnected with modern culture they really are, and most importantly 3., we can find stereotypes whether man-made, or coincidence everywhere. Just learn to fucking live with it, and shut the fuck up, please stop crying because somebody portrayed the Jews as rich, when you are a Jew, we all fucking know that not every Jew is rich!

"Viewers cited Asian corner shop owner Dev in Coronation Street and black single mother Denise, who had two children by two different fathers in Eastenders, as examples of stereotyping and tokenism in soaps."

Well, that's what happens when you have a fucking retarded audience. Do you know why they called Dev Asian, because not one fucking member of the idiot public knew where he was from, and they were inundated with mass mail of people taking wild guesses! You're essentially saying, "You just stereotyped Asiains", you realise how dumb that is?! You cann't not stereotype a geographical landmass that fucking big, it's too fucking vast, no matter how they portrayed the Asian man in this drama, they're bound to fucking hit at least one stereotype because of the vast wealth of different cultures that can be found in fucking Asia! So don't fucking complain that, "they stereotyped that Asian man Dev." It makes you look like a moron, since you've no idea where he's from and exactly how he's being steretyped. Learn where the fuck he's from first, then complain.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I hate the idiot public.

And as for Denise, yea, because when we think of black stereotypes, we think of sluttish women... That's really what we fucking think of. JUST FUCKING NO.

"Ethnic minority viewers accused all broadcasters of tokenism and stereotyping, screening exaggerated and extreme representations of minorities and failing to reflect modern ethnic minority culture."

Oh really?

Then go make your own fucking show, or buy fucking virgin, and order some fucking foreign channels. We cannot continually meet every ethnic demand, all the fucking time, it's just not economically viable, we just don't have the fucking time to make every fucking show on fucking TV. accurate in every fucking respect, nor should we ever fucking have to. I don't like English television, so guess what I do, and this is a really fuckin' novel idea, I don't fucking watch it, or I get RT-fucking-E.

Here's the bottom line, political correctness, was meant to make us appreciate our differences, and learn from one another and learn about other cultures. But instead it's turned into a ridiculous spray of judicial bullets being blindly fired into our nation. Learn to deal with the fact that every race carries with it specific stereotypes, ignore said stereotypes, and stop thinking about them.

Stop fucking looking for them at every corner you turn, nobody cares about you, or your race. Nobody actively tries to stereotype you, it's just that this PC bullshit has gone way too far, and now everybody ploughs into every aspect of our society they can in order to create division in the name of controversy...

Just fuck up, everyone. Regardless of what race you are, English, Indian, Pakistani, Irish, Scottish, if you whine about something not being politically correct, just fucking shoot yourself, get off my mortal fucking coil.

Scripture for today:  Isaiah 29; Isaiah 30; Isaiah 31; James 1  

Scripture-My special verse today:  Isaiah 30:10 

They say to the seers,  "See no more visions!" and to the prophets, 

 "Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions. 

Observation:  The people are tired of hearing the truth.  They want to continue to live their own way which is obviously in direct contradiction to God's way.  Instead of seeing the need to change and follow the ways of God, they cry out to change the message.  They want Isaiah to stop with the warnings and just tell them what they want to hear.  They don't want to change, they want to change the message.  They ask the prophets to not tell the truth, but rather, to tell them fairy tales of pleasant things that are going to happen.

Application:  Do I really want to hear the truth?  Does anyone?  As I go about my daily life, I think I am making the best choices.  I am positive I am in God's will and he is going to be so pleased with me.  However, I often get the feeling God isn't as happy with me as I think he is.  When I get a warning that my decisions, my tone of voice, my though process is not in compliance with God's plan, do I willingly change or try to change the message?  The world today covets busyness and stuff, never something God chose for us.  However, when we are told by God to slow down we feel it must have been a miscommunication.  I mean, what if we don't get it all done.  Surely we heard the message wrong.

However, the message is clear and I need to make sure I recognize the correct voice.  Many wish to make up new messages that fall in line with how we are living.  I need to listen for God's voice and hear the true message, painful or not.

 Prayer:  Lord, above all the noise and busyness, let me hear your voice and your message.  Let me not fall prey to the world's made-up message but let the message truly be from your lips.  I hope I will always be willing to change in order to align myself with your direction.

It's pretty clear I've violated alot of the Articles of the edict. On the upside, I've only made the soap twice. On the other hand, if I make it two more times, I guess I'll be banished from the realm.

Not my typical taste, but there's something about some of the things at Napastyle that just catch my eye, especially the soap dispenser.

Clockwise from top left...

Elle from NSW (pray add an F to that) kindly inquired me pertaining to the importance of soap. Thus, I decided to compile information to be accessed by the general public, on so important a topic.

Soap is, in this day and age, one of the greatest treasures of mankind. It allows us to disinfect our skin, in the knowledge that our dog's drool or the grease of those crisps will not leave their mark with us for the rest of the day. This is significantly one of its most important usages. Many of them also convey this feeling by being perfumed, thus inducing in its user a most pleasant feeling of apparent cleanliness.

This is thought to be the reason why bubbles exist. The chemical reactions leading to the formation of bubbles is probably exploited by soap producers in order to make the user see something actually being washed away from their hands; this is most helpful in cases where something not as seeable (like dog drool) is involved, as opposed to very visible things (e.g. ketchup).

In our society, soap also helps our construction as citizens by helping us understand that certain words are not to be uttered in social settings. This is the reason why adults (also known as 'grown-ups') peruse soap when trying to inculcate the unnaceptability of certain expressions in young children. These children, when they grow up, will often feel a slight tinge of lillies or pine fragrance or freesia when about to utter an expletive. It is to be expected that future generations will already have a mechanism that shall replace such foul, soiling words with the pleasant fragrance of pout-pourri.

Not only this, but soap plays a rather important role in terms of fingernail keeping among young children. Not uncommonly, these are coherced by their parents to keep their fingernails as tidy as humanly possible, which may seem like an oxymoron as children's fingernails tend to humanly attract dirt, dust bunnies, plasticine, chips of paint and dinnosaurs. Nevertheless, these children often peruse soap in their endeavour, and in spite of its precious aid, scratch it in an act of revenge towards their tormentors.

Yet another use of soap (perhaps the final one in this analysis, as not to bore you, kind reader) is the creation of pro-gravity spots. With the research conducted in certain facilities which tries to defy gravity, it is in need of much appreciation -- or we risk one of these fine days waking up floating against the ceiling, or worse still, literally dropping off the face of Earth. Ergo, it is of uttermost importance to demonstrate our appreciation for gravity by creating spots that will acts as shrines where its influence will be felt very hard. Such an effect can be achieved by rubbing soap against floor boards, steps, tiles, sidewalks, or anywhere where people (preferably 'grown-ups', as these tend to have a larger gravitational interest) will be affected by it.

It is, therefore, dear reader, possible to conclude that soap is one of the biggest pillars of our society, along with gravity, particles, cats and bloody murder hair dye.

For oiling hardwood floors you will need the items listed below. Our quantity recommendations are based on experience of the average floor – if your wood flooring is very old and porous then increase the quantities and vice versa for dense wood types.

Product Name <10m2 <25m2 <50m2 >50m2 Stage 1 – Preparation with wood lye Flat mop 1 1 1 1 Woca Wood Lye 2 ltr 4 ltr 7.5 ltr 1 ltr per 7sqm Blue Nylon Pad 1 1 1 1 Stage 2 – Main Oiling Flat Mop from stage 1 Your Choice of Oil 1 ltr 2.5 ltr 5 ltr 1 ltr per 10m2 Your choice of oil will usually be the White master oil which will keep the floor looking light and slightly whitened. If you require a very light finish the Extra white oil should be used. Coarse, green Patina Disks 1 2 3 1 per 15m2 Absorbent Cloths 2 5 10 5 per 25m2 Stage 3: maintenance oiling Blue Nylon pad 2 2 2 2 Intensive Wood Cleaner 1 ltr 1 ltr 1 ltr 1 ltr up to 400m2 Flat mop from stage 1 Maintenance Oil Natural 1 ltr 1 ltr 2 ltr 1 ltr per 40m2 Medium, green patina disks 1 2 3 1 per 15m2 Absorbent Cloths 2 5 10 5 per 25m2 Stage 4: subsequent cleaning Natural Soap White 2.5 ltr 2.5 ltr 2.5 ltr 2.5 ltr Flat mop from stage 1 & 2 Additional Mop Head 0 0 1 1 extra per 25m2

Stage 1 - treat the floor with the wood lye. This will soak into the wood and is left to dry overnight.

Stage 2 – Buff the woca wood floor oil (master oil, colour oil) into the floor. The floor surface should then be rubbed down with coarse patina disks to smooth the wood grain. Any excess oil needs to be removed with a cloth so that the surface is damp rather than wet with the oil. If using the white master oil you will notice that some of the white residue is removed when wiping off the excess.

Stage 3 – Wash the floor using the wood cleaner. Re-oil with maintenance oil and rub down with the medium patina disk

Stage 4 – General maintenance of your floor. The white pigments in the soap will keep the floor light. The white soap should be used regardless of which oil was originally applied.

Preparation with Wood Lye: Stage 1

Ensure your wood floor has been correctly sanded ready for the oiling process.

The Wood Lye is a solution which contains a white pigment that ensures the floor will remain light after it is finished and continues to lighten when exposed to sunlight. You can use Wood Lye on any wood type, both softwood and hardwood. There are 2 types of wood lye which will complement your floor – for softwoods such as Pine and Larch, you need to use the softwood lye. For hardwoods such as oak and exotic species the Wood lye should be used.

Empty the Lye into a bucket or container and stir thoroughly to ensure all the pigments have been fully mixed together (these often settle at the bottom of the bottle). When applying the wood lye use a blue nylon pad with the flat mop to get into tight corners. The instructions on the Woca Wood Lye state that the floor needs to be washed with Intensive Wood Cleaner before applying the Wood Lye, however this is not always required and the floor can be prepared by removing any dust with a vacuum.

1. Spread the wood lye in to the floor using blue flat mop. Apply a generous coat of aprox 7sqm per litre to the floor. Ensure the wood is evenly saturated by brushing along the grain of the wood. Leave to dry for 8 hours.
2. A further wash with intensive wood cleaner is recommended by Woca to remove any excess lye but this step is not always required as this process is also done when the floor is treated with the master oil.

The oiling process: Stage 2

Ensure all the Wood Lye has completely dried out before applying the oil.

It is advisable to wear old clothes during oiling as this process involves using plenty of oil cloths and the oil can damage your clothing. The process takes aprox 1 hour per 20sqm. Take care when using the oil as it can cause skin irritation – the use of oil resistant rubber gloves is recommended. When the cloths have been used they need to be placed in a bucket of water as the fumes can cause self-combustion.

Empty the contents of the oil into a container and stir well to ensure the white pigments are not settled at the bottom of the container.

Apply the oil using the flat mop, brush, roller or cloth. Take care around the edges of the room and apply with a small brush and cloth to ensure no oil is splashed onto skirting or adjoining floors.

Leave the oil for 20 minutes to soak into the wood. If the oil absorbs through before this time apply more oil. Buff the floor using a flat mop to ensure the oil is fully absorbed. Working along the grain of the wood, buff the surface using the green patina disk to smooth the surface. Working from the edge of the room furthest from the exit, wipe off all excess oil using clean cloths and ensure there are no patches of oil left on the floor as this will start to shine when dry. A polishing machine can be used during this process for larger areas. These can be hired from most hire shops. Leave to dry for at least 12 hours and do not walk on the floor in this time. Dispose of all the cloths by placing in a container filled with water as they can self combust / ignite.

Maintenance process: Stage 3

A final maintenance coat should be applied to ensure that the floor is completely protected – if building work is being done protect the floor with Everbuild Roll and Stroll until all work is complete – then apply the maintenance coat.

1st Maintenance Coat
The 1st maintenance coat is applied to ensure that the floor stays durable and wear resisistant. This maintenance coat should be done after all building / decorating work has been completed as it can remove any dirt / wear from work done.

Step 1 – Wet Clean and scrub
This step involves cleaning the floor with Intensive Wood Cleaner. This should be made up of 1 part cleaner and 40 parts water. Scrub the floor using the flat mop to get any dirt off the floor.

Using a dry mop head or dry cloth, wipe off all the excess water from the floor. When the cloth / mop head get saturated rinse and wring out before continuing. Check the floor for marks whilst it is still wet – any marks on the floor can be removed with the edge of a knife.

Leave the floor to dry for 1-2 hours. Some floors including oak floors may look dull now – however the sheen and colour will return when re-oiled.

Step 2 – Oil

Apply a thin coat of maintenance to the floor using a cloth and rub in well. The maintenance oil should be used sparingly. Whilst the floor is still damp, the floor should be buffed by using 2 green patina disks with the flat mop. This will smooth the surface of the wood to give a beautiful protected finish.

Wipe any excess oil from the floor after buffing. Leave the floor to dry for at least 4 hours before walking on it. If you are using a buffing machine and you want a higher sheen on the floor you can apply a second coat of maintenance oil and leave to dry for 1 – 2 hours. When the floor is tacky the excess can be buffed off.

Periodical cleaning: Stage 4

The White soap needs to be used when cleaning and maintaining your floor to keep the floor light. When the floor requires a maintenance clean complete step 3 to bring the floor back to its fully protected condition.

Avec une chaussette ! Objet prouvant à chaque instant combien il est utile, servant aussi bien de protecteur pour nos pieds, de marionnette pour nos (vos) pitits monstres que de réceptacle à foutre pour les plus hardcores d'entre nous (ne regardez pas vers moi, j'ai des rouleaux de pq à ne plus savoir qu'en faire mais j'avai entendu ça à la radio... et d'ailleur si je veut gicler dans mes chaussettes je fait ce que je veux).

Voici maintenant venue la chaussette souris. Explication :

Dell’estate 2008 di Un Posto al Sole abbiamo già parlato qualche settimana fa, dandovi notizia del ritorno nel cast di Emma Contini (Valeria Morosini), che torna a Napoli dopo l’esperienza americana, e dell’arrivo di Mario Porfito, già visto nel mese di giugno nelle vesti del Capitano Alfredo Benvenuto, Lisa Fusco, Stefania Barca e Salvio Simioli. Con loro resistono nella versione estiva Lucio Allocca (Otello), Rosaria De Cicco (Aida), Patrizio Rispo (Raffaele) e altri volti noti della soap.

Ad arrichire il già nutrito cast ci pensano ora Carolina Marconi, concorrente del Grande Fratello 4, e Daniela Fazzolari, amata protagonista della soap concorrente Centovetrine. Da notare anche l’arrivo di Ada Febbraio nel ruolo di Penny, la figlia del Capitano Benvenuto.

Sarà proprio Benvenuto al centro del plot estivo della soap napoletana. Come già anticipato, l’ex capitano decide di cambiar vita e di assumere la direzione di un villaggio vacanze, Baia 100. Con l’occasione cercherà di ricucirei rapporti con la figlia Penny (Ada Febbraio) avuta dal matrimonio, fallito con Margherita (Stefania Barca). Ma la giovane Penny è impegnata a conquistare il suo grande amore, Pietro (Luca Riemma). Un’estate di lavoro, quindi, per il capitano Benvenuto che potrà contare su una squadra non proprio tranquilla: sua vicedirettrice è l’ambiziosa Stefania (Daniela Fazzolari), mentre tra le animatrici spicca Luana (Lisa Fusco). Non manca la coppia da pianobar, formata da Antonio (Giulio Forges Davanzati) e Ludovica Mancini (Silvia Giordano) e il cantante guest star nel ruolo di se stesso, Marco Fasano. Si prennuncia un triangolo amoroso tra Emma (Valeria Morosini) in vacanza con il fidanzato-regista Sergio Keller (Renato Raimo) e l’immancabile playboy da spiaggia Dado (Salvio Simioli). Inedito ruolo per Lucio Allocca che smessi i panni del burbero vigile Otello prende quelli di Osvaldo, direttore del Beauty center nel quale trova lavoro Aida (Rosaria De Cicco), sorella di Otello. Unico confermato delle precedenti due edizioni è il timido Pasqualino (Luigi Petrazzuolo).

Un Posto al Sole d’Estate andrà in onda dal 14 luglio al 5 settembre: per la nuova edizione prevista una sigla nuova di zecca, ovvero un brano di Pino Daniele, icona della Napoli musicale, che ha prestato alla soap un suo brano, Mareluna. Le avventure estive della soap non si svolgeranno più a Ischia, come nelle precedenti edizioni, ma sulla Costiera Sorrentina. In realtà i set sono stati ricostruiti in provincia di Caserta, nel comune di Cancello e Arnone, mentre la costiera sorrentina sarà visibile in poche inquadrature.

Ma si pensa già alla prossima stagione invernale di Un Posto al Sole: qualche anticipazione l’abbiamo già data in un precedente articolo. Ci limitiamo ora a segnalare il ritorno di Cinzia, ex fidanzata di Guido, ora tornato con la moglie, e interpretato da Veronica Mazza: il suo rientro preannuncia nuovi sconvolgimenti nella vita sentimentale di Guido del Bue. New entry per l’inverno quello di Michela Andreozzi, già conosciuta nel duo comico Gretel&Gretel, che resterà nel cast per almeno due mesi, giusto il tempo di far girare la testa a Michele Saviani (Alberto Rossi).

Infine vi lasciamo con una notizia che non abbiamo ancora ben capito come interpretare: il direttore del Centro di produzione Rai di Napoli, Francesco Pinto, ha annunciato che Un Posto al Sole durerà sicuramente altri tre anni. Certo, fa piacere, ma la precisazione lascia l’amaro in bocca: finora non si sono mai avuti cenni di una crisi della soap, crisi che invece minaccia da tempo Incantesimo. Potrebbe trattarsi solo di una semplice notazione da piano triennale, espressa magari in maniera non proprio felice. L’idea che Un Posto al Sole abbia i ‘giorni’ contati non ci piace per niente.

Miso soap was really good, but too small for me !

Raviolis fried in a special machine with timer, were perfect.

Spicy tofu with rice and meal. Perhaps a little insipid. Not enough tasty.

Food’s good but for hungry people like a Nournours, the quantities were a little insufficient.
The boss should know French people eat more than Japanese people.

Go there and talk with her !

Johanna è in ospedale, per essere operata al femore; rifiuta di toccare cibo ed è sempre più depressa . Petra allora decide di non andare a lavorare ad Amburgo per curare l' anziana donna. Nick telefona a Petra dall' Africa e le confessa che la ama ancora.

Alice, stanca di Thierry, decide di lasciarlo. Tanja litiga violentemente con Uli a causa della sua decisione di seguire i corsi di Medicina all' università. Johanna è spaventata perchè deve farsi operare all' anca: Thomas e Petra cercano di rassicurarla. Tanja e Uli, intantom si chiariscono.

Alice si rende conto dell' atteggiamento maschilista di Thierry e lo invita a tornarsene in Francia. Petra e Thomas,intanto, decidono di far assistere Johanna da un' infermiera professionista a domicilio. L' anziana però vuole avere accanto a sè soltanto Petra.
