-an OD of Love-

I found this and wanted to share!

Notte Sento (English subtitles) by Daniele Napolitano A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn. However, a chance encounter with a guy changes her plans and the night lights of the capital turn into the background to a tender love story. An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise. Short film made with 4500+ still photographs. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera. Funded by the Seagate Creative Fund in 2008. Italian language with English subtitles.

This little trattoria in a quiet back street of M’Skala was a true gem of a find. The food was by far and the most authentic and delicious my wife and I had experienced so far, better than most foo d we had in restaurants in Rome. Service was absolutely superb with wait ers who seemed genuinely excited by the food and wine of the region. A really excell ent experience. Infused with the romance of Vecchia Roma, this quiet, yet lively Mediterranean trattoria cannot fail to delight with its infectious atmosphere and the view which nowadays has become a rarity in my little country. The place is lively, the staff work fast but are respectful of your pr ivacy. Lunch for six including 2 bottles of good wine, drinks, coffees, sweets and liqueurs will leave you with a wonderfully full stomach and only a mildly depleted wallet at 140 euro for the six of us. From the moment you are ushered through the doors by the affable wife of the owner and the owner himself, Da Rocco, impres

The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Once a fiercely independent woman, Susan now felt condemned by this terrible twist of fate to become a powerless, helpless burden on everyone around her. "How could this have happened to me?" she would plead, her heart knotted with anger. But no matter how much she cried or ranted, she knew the painful truth her sight was never going to return. A cloud of depression hung over Susan's once optimisti

This is what Melita Mobile promised in order to lure you But the truth is this - just six days after Melita Mobile launched: FRIDAY, 6TH FEBRUARY 2009 No. 0179 NOTICE BY THE CONSUMER AND COMPETITION DIVISION The Consumer and Competition Division wishes to inform the general public that the advertisement and the promotion in relation to the new mobile service launched by Melita plc would appear to contain elements that might potentially mislead consumers. Advertisements state that the rates are "Up to 30% cheaper". The situation that a full minute is charged for a call lasting even a few seconds for the first minute would seem to lend itself to confusion from the part of consumers. This would eventually lead the consumer to take a transactional decision which he would not have taken otherwise. The note in small print that "Calls are on a per second basis after the first minute" does not to seem to be clear enough for the average consumer to take an informed decisio

Well finally, Melita Cable has launched the mobile service, but even if they are claiming a 30% discount, one has to look at the small print before you commit yourself because this is just a marketing ploy which Melita Cable are so famous for. If you are a Vodafone or a Go user you might say that on average I pay 32cents per minute to use my mobile phone to call. Yes you are right but you have to bear in mind that Melita Cable will be charging you a full charge for the first minute whereas if you use Vodafone or Go you are charged by the second, so that means that if you call using Melita mobile for just 30 seconds which is the average call length you will be charged a full 23 cents by Melita Mobile whereas Vodafone or Go will only charge you 16 cents so that is the best well planned trick that I’ve heard of lately and that doesn’t put Melita Mobile as the cheapest so be careful before you do any changes

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was raised in an orphanage. The little boy had always wished that he could fly like a bird. It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly. There were birds at the zoo that were much bigger than he, and they could fly "Why can't I?" he thought. "Is there something wrong with me?" he wondered. There was another little boy who was crippled. He had always wished that he could walk and run like other little boys and girls. "Why can't I be like them?" he thought. One day the little orphan boy who had wanted to fly like a bird ran away from the orphanage. He came upon a park where he saw the little boy who could not walk or run playing in the sandbox. He ran over to the little boy and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird. "No," said the little boy who could not walk or run. "But I have wondered what it would be like to walk and run like other boys and g

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard!" "Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls." The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk." When the boy insist

Still no news from ADT, I was thinking of paying a visit to the fish farm I might find it there attached to the nets....

As mentioned in an earlier entry, I've made a deposit of 100 euro on a new scooter and I believe out of the 27 countries that make the EU we are the only country(except Italy) that in order to get or do something we have to go thru a pile of papers to be able to get what we request. I went to the dealer this morning to get the chassis and engine number so I can insure this little thing (Insurance another pile of question and loads of signed papers) and funnily enough he told me that there is a problem with your bike. He told me, I have 60 of this machine all stuck at bonds and guess what the reason is for the vehicle being held is? ADT and Maltese way of working out things. At first I thought he was taking the piss as I had a similar experience with another salesman who has given my car to another client, but that’s another story. This scooter is build outside Europe but it has an European built low emission engine which is certified Euro 3 compliant but the little genies at

A magic carpet for two, a car with two wheels, a passport to modernity. A common passion that attracts people of all ilks and warps. As they say - "a car is transport, a motorcycle is fun, but a scooter is a Roman holiday on wheels."...I'm expecting a new baby boy and he is black!...

There's an English proverb that goes: "One father is worth more than a hundred schoolmasters." Fathers can teach their children many important lessons. Father's Day is Sunday, June 15, and it brings to mind some of the valuable lessons I learned from my father, TRUST is the most important five-letter word in business and in life. When I was only eight years old, he said: "Son, would you like to learn a lesson that might save your life some day?" "Sure I would, Dad," I answered. "Just slide down the banister and I'll catch you," he urged. I slid ... and landed on the carpet. As I dusted myself off, he announced, "Never trust anyone completely. Keep your eyes open and your wits about you." My father also taught me that the big name on the door doesn't mean a thing. You have to know who the decision makers are. After a motor bike accident that landed me in bed for 30 days, he told me, "You can take any amount of pain a
