Average Wedding Tux Rental Cost Toronto

OK, will not be the Corriere della Sera, but ... The last comment came

course, is not the Corriere della Sera, Il Giornale, or even the Republic, but it is the first public review of my novel. How can I not publish it? The author of the review is the same person who presented my novel in Chioggia in March, Piergiorgio Penzo, whom I thank for that too.
is the diocesan weekly newspaper The New Spark, the number of Easter Sunday. Who went to the presentation
find echoes of things said there, but perhaps even more depth.
Good reading, waiting for the Corsera ... Click on

How Would I Hook My Mac To My Projector



keep getting verbal feedback of people who read the novel, even after so much time of publication and this can only please me.
But I'm even happier when I get these comments in writing, so that they can share with readers here. The latest comes from
Federica Favaro and the public just as I arrived:

(...) I can not tell you how many emotions aroused reading ... I confess that it was the first time I approach a book "noir", I always read other novels, not even that much talked of Faletti I've never been attracted (perhaps because they are too challenging for the number of pages!).
First of all, as I pointed out to your editor, the paper size is perfect and beautiful: so smooth to the touch of a beautiful ivory color, with beautiful crisp printed characters, it's really nice turn the pages one after ' other.
The story is very compelling: The more you enter the story, the more you know the characters and the more you would like to investigate, ask questions. They are so well described in their character that I could well imagine as I read. And then the fog: sometimes I could almost feel it, cold and wet to the bone (as in those of the old father) accompany the sound of Cycling in the silence of the night ... I was scared, I felt shivers down my spine, I even shed a few tears, but I could not stop reading, the certainty that good would ultimately triumph, in one way or another.
I also thought about who knows how many bad stories are closer to us than we think and how many children are spectators of violence in the home. The reality becomes more sad and frightening than fiction, but I think there are many fathers willing to listen. I really liked this concept of "fatherhood"!
Now, Mauro, please, do not stop writing!
A hug and thanks again,
Federica "


Thanks Federica

Kidney Stone Stuck In My Urethra

March 13, 2009, an evening like a hug ---- 3: it's my turn

I must admit that I had prepared before talking a lot more than that then I said. Simply because the speaker, Pierre, had already said a lot and did not want to keep people there longer than an hour (I hate when things take longer than an hour ...). So I pruned my speech and I skeleton. I then give way to questions that I hoped copiose.Allor I started to explain the origin of the novel, from where I was born the idea and why a priest of 70 years as a player, the era of the blog (!!!) and Facebook ...
are things I have said in Venice, but this time add the story an episode told by a friend a few days before: his uncle is a priest 86 years of close co
unable to move and to live in almost absolute solitude. He became glued to the wall opposite the bed where he is constantly forced the images of his life, from beginning to end. And if watching all day, if held in front as if to see the fruit of what has been his life. This thing I was very impressed. A priest who has literally spent his entire life is now in isolation and remains what he has accomplished as a sign of someone who had accomplished. It seemed beside the point.
Then I told that to me is in the novel that is this strange reversal the usual things like love, pain, fatherhood, friendship and evil. Everything turned around. Everything that is not how one thinks, all at a different level, I would say the most profound and true. And then my friend Mario Frizziero law for me one of the most beautiful pages of the novel, page 67, where Don Luigi talks about his perpetual Elvira when - still young - is likely to fall in love. Then speaks of the love that is embraced in a greater love. I read the comm
eggs and hard to believe I had written those words.
Then I leave room for questions. The first of Valentina, on the license. Happy to answer even though I had already mentioned a response. On the night that everyone living there is always
the reverberation of a face that can give back a glimmer of hope that gives life. Simple. The novel, then, is how to be together quietly in a room that gets dark a little at a time, until total darkness. After a while, the darkness has won everything, then you see that reflection of a face just mentioned but it is enough to overcome the fear and lets wait for the full light. Then Roberto
asking if there is a reference in the prologue to the end and I "forced" to say something about the end, I did not want to talk. But now we dance and dance. Certainly in the prologue is already shed the final sacrifice.
But I will not say more.
then intervenes Alessandra Salvagno, the publisher and says that everyone there is just darkness and the possibility of seeing that face. Bello. Everyone can see that face and interprets it differently, but at the end of a face we all need. Perfect.
You get to
greetings and I thank you again everyone, absolutely everyone.
Then the signatures of the copies, even as councilor, the graphics that made the beautiful cover and people who do not even know.
Outside waiting for me and my best friends because my grandmother brought home the women who came there for me. Julia, my oldest daughter is there with me.
is ending a hug for me and things I wrote, just with friends and my daughter. It's all over in a hurry. But it remains that embrace. An evening that was to embrace my humanity. Thank you all.

Moving Into An Older Home

March 13, 2009, an evening like a hug ---- 2: the commissioner and the rapporteur

The room is almost packed (and who would have thought). Arriva also the Councillor for Culture of Chioggia Dr. Sin, with its copy of the novel in hand. Approaches and shakes my hand, submitted by my editor who tells him: "Here the author!" and that would be me. The welcome and I welcome invite you to sit in the front row (do not do this?).
And so it begins, is expected
he just goes.
introduces two words Venerucci friend Andrea (whom I thank here, for the passion with which I helped to organize this event and for simple words to me when I read the proofs many years ago).
A must salute first councilor, who says that a society without deepening the ego, in spirit, is not based on solid foundations. Greets and thanks. But it remains to listen.

Andrea introduces the keynote speaker (
because I'm not that important here), Dr.. Piergiorgio Penzo Fondaco The Cultural Association of Chioggia.

Piergiorgio is not a friend in the truest sense of the word. That is not a person who normally attend. So much is already to have agreed to play the game compared to my novel and he did great.
The beginning is the most promising because comparing my debut novel, a novel minor (and God forbid ...) Bernanos: "Under the Sun of Satan." That alone makes you the
privide. Mauro Bighin compared to Bernanos. Even the sound of the name clash with my parting typically Venetian, which creates a sound unbearable. Instead, "Bernanos" is another story. However, Pierre has courage to sell and explain because this neighborhood.
Certainly the figure of the priest (almost trivial to think about it) that is present in both novels, but also and above all the figure of the devil. The speaker in the drawing of dr. Barbers in my novel with the figure of the devil. I jump off the chair and I'm curious to see where it ends, because c'avevo not even thought about writing such an eventuality.
mentions some episodes where it's clear this demonic aspect in particular strikes me when he says that it is clear that the demonic character of the doctor want to undo the wrong, does not tolerate evil, and prescribed doses of painkiller more than necessary to clear its patients. Interesting.

Then the speaker tells the other characters: Don Luigi and Elvira first, their relationship of mutual dedication event which is the real victory and true sense, according to him, the novel. Then Luke, the guy who recognizes the hope that the priest did not know anymore.

The rapporteur said details (and I tremble, because I do not want to reveal too much of the novel, not to lose the taste for reading to those who have not yet read and which is located in room), but does so with ease , almost as if it had to make.
strikes me as he always appoints the characters by name, contrary to what usually I do. For him the 'Don Luigi "," dr. Barbieri, "" Elvira, "" Luke, "while I am getting" the priest, "the Doctor," the boy "," perpetual. " And I realize that it is much better as he tells them. I almost afraid to call them by name, but obviously for him are more real and closer than they are to me.

Piergiorgio concludes talks about the victory of Christ in the deep relationship of Don Luigi and Elvira (here, now I call them by name ...), not so much sacrifice. And I realize that it's true. Greatest love of all love, which I'll then I in my speech, is the real victory that changes the fact, and draws to a well depth of evil told in the novel. But this comes with the next part.

Letter Of Recommendation Culinary School Sample

March 13 2009, an evening like a hug - --- 1: waiting


I left a little to settle the emotions of the evening presentation of my novel in my city, my people, my friends and even those who do not know me.
Why I wrote only sentences of enthusiasm and instead want to tell you, for those who could not be there and maybe he wanted, or simply for those who are curious to try what can someone like me during such an event.
The rules of the websites and blogs in particular say they are short, and then divide things.
start with the wait.
My friend Paul with me toward the room where everything takes place. Arrive early and am already Alexandra, Sandra, and Catherine, that my publishers. People who moved into first person for me, asking for the room by contacting the City for sponsoring, organizing leaflets and all communications (including information on the Gazzettino ...). In short, I just arrived and already I feel grateful.
I remembered the room as smaller than it actually is. I think now that will not fill, but in the end is not really a thought that touches me so much. Certainly it is the room where the right to do such a thing. The place that I always thought when I imagined the presentation of my first novel. A beautiful chapel of the Philippine Fathers, wooden walls and a beautiful crucifix on dark red background behind the speakers' table. The colors of my cover and an early metaphor of the title.
will be waiting outside the door of a friend that I could hardly recognize Cremona in the dark (I thought it was a journalist ...). Daniel came to Cremona on purpose. And there already my emotion undergoes a low blow. A friend from Cremona part for me is all the way to leave home to wife and children to come and hear me talk about my book. It is a great thing? For me it would be enough too, the evening was already a sense, but the surprises do not end. The room is still empty and I'm already happy.

Sadlier Oxford Level E Answers

be read in, the comment by Mario Dupuis

E 'with sincere gratitude that carry in full below the comment to my novel that I received from Mario Dupuis, president of the group Edimar - welcome and important reality of education in Padua. He was able to read my novel with a depth that moves me. He has grasped the core is no longer true that the origin of my writing and, somehow, read myself - in addition to my novel.
For this I thank him heartily.

Here's his comment, which is the best introduction to the presentation evening tomorrow:

"Bighin Mauro's book is an ode to fatherhood that is born of gratitude.
Don Luigi embodies the opportunity real and amazing that a man, starting from the look on life that comes from faith, could be coupled with another man in the adventure of life is often sad and painful as a parent accompanying a child to death for him, as happens in novel.
None, except for a special grace that comes from God, can love each other to give life, but you can love others more than themselves, because he loves his fate and his destiny is to love the love most of his own, and the destiny of all life is worth more: "What is life if one then loses his soul?" And who is not Christian does not say that he does not believe in the soul because the soul is the source of all is the ultimate motive of every Our gesture is like a presence in us that makes us recognize what is good.
be a father means to love the destiny of another rather than oneself. Don Luigi had at heart the fate of the boy he did not know whether he could solve his problem distressing, but it was obvious that he loved the good fate of that boy, he wanted his life every day that fate would help to recognize good .
It is no coincidence that the last chapter before the epilogue, ends with the word "Son" and "sticking a seed in the fertile soil of a new
paternity."
One consequence of a man who lives like that, following this with a father's love life of a boy, is that they all enjoy. And so it is possible that "that old lady felt flowing from shiny black veins of marble, some heat."
Don Luigi in the prologue that the initial "feel the cool marble" lives a human story, so, in the prologue to the final heat emanating from its marble tomb. "It is finished".
Men are so like a face in the night. No more "face in the night" in your eyes all the despair that is possible, but "a face in the night": This is the news that the world expects. Thanks to my friend Mauro Bighin of reminding us. Mario Dupuis

Gel Bracelet Color Meaning

Meet the author - January 31, 2009 Venice


the end it was much simpler than I imagined.
In a small library and famous of Venice, the Capital , Federico has created a corner for monthly meetings with authors of books, local and otherwise. Today it's my turn. Later there is still no one and I see those empty seats. I begin to imagine who would sit there, if anything, someone had come. Why do I always wonder, but who can come and listen to me? And I forget that is also for my book. What I wrote it, he is the cause.

Then come in dribs and drabs, people of different ages, from who knows what homes are moved. What do you have left to come from me? And they begin to sit, waiting for the author who is there instead and watch them, one by one.
comes time to begin and the room is already full. About twenty people, not percent. But wait until you see a show begins, wait for me.

Federica, the bookseller, introduces familiar and Federico, the writer and organizer, stresses that the book is also nice to see. Then Alex, my publisher tells me things that is nice to hear. About friendship, gratitude, grateful there when there's only one and that's me.
Then it's up to me. I say from where the novel was born, how do these characters and the story not fixed. I say that I received the gift. And they all look and listen. I hear of an old priest who is the protagonist. Now the expected demand: why a priest? Why a perpetual? And I'll explain.
The question most beautiful, but in this novel with two old protagonists, there is a love story, right? And only those who read it could ask this question. Certainly, there is love, but not what you'd expect, there is a love that is greater respect, dedication, love for the fate of the other.
Then we talk about poetry. There is no link between my poetry and the novel? And how can that be different? I just write, poetry and fiction intertwine. Read this page 67. Federica reads the prologue and I get a thrill to hear my words read well. At the end
dedications are to be done as usual, but I do it for the first time and it is incredible. There is also my friend Federica (yes, it is the evening of Federico and Federico ... in abundance) that moved me carrying the mother-in-law (a kind and caring lady) and her husband.

short hour full of true emotions, hard to tell. So we think that Julie takes the photos and offer them to you. The meeting with the author is finished with a glass of prosecco. The author acknowledges.

Wholesale Wooden Fingerboards

A very special comment

I do not want all the others who have given me to publish their comment. But following this was a surprise to share. Something special for the sharpness, the depth and seriousness of analysis. Reveal a passion for what you have read that as an act of friendship and as such I have accepted. A passionate review more than just a comment. Something that says intelligence acute and a big heart of who wrote it.

"There is a story backed by a DC voltage from a swing rhythm but as diluted, suspended. Syncopated would Mauro.
sounds muffled and dark colors accompany the hard winter flow, which is rest and silence. When the silence is broken with the violence of the pain is breaking its banks and breaks into a scream, muffled noise in the stick, a falling body. Or the whisper of a pain living with dignity.
Pictures dark, gloomy , that hurt, but they capture the reader, with no way out: so one can not help but continue reading line after line, page after page, magnetized atmosphere, darkness of the fog, the silence of winter.
The few references to the first computer, television, the bells almost put the story out of a clear temporal dimension, as if to signify that the spirit of evil hovers eternally, is lurking. But in addition to pain, the daily, the universal, next to the eternal drama of who is forced to choose between life and human respect is a breath free, the desire to recount the life and beauty, the bright purity of hearts simple, beyond the eternal human contradictions. Why
, and I think this is one of the themes of the novel, evil is born evil, pain causes pain and who received pain and evil is doomed to return, in a vortex that seems unstoppable.
But this time the chain of bad breaks, thanks to the courage of Marcus and his confidence in Don Luigi. Mark does not replicate the horror, the blame will fall on the child's father. Marco will rely, with the simple and infallible intuition of children, to a pure like him. He will leave himself the father you do not understand and almost unconsciously choose another father, of courage and faith he lived and died in a light affinity.

the night a face book is a "compact", which is essential, even in summary writing and is devoid of superfluous digressions, of complacency, yielding to the temptation of narcissistic, in which many fall today celebrated best-selling authors, to steal the show from the characters and story.

few small weaknesses? It seems to me that perhaps lacking in some time, the work of the word file, sull'aggettivo, missing that expression states that the phrase makes perfect. Perhaps, also, at some point the plot has some failure, perhaps it was intended that way, but the image of the club is likely to become obsessive, a bit 'like Raskolnikov's ax. But these are details.

Beyond the merits of the book, congratulations to Maureen for having proved himself as Mark, two beautiful, bright qualities: confidence and courage. "Mugheddu
Maria Grazia Maria Grazia


Thanks, thanks infinitely.

Smothers Brothers Chords

The first public presentation

I am pleased to inform you that on 31/01 at 18 at the library" The Capital "in Venice there is a "meet the author" where the strange thing is that the author I am. It 's a thing that just makes me think of headaches. Certainly it will be an intimate thing, but even if there will be two people, those two people will be there to hear me talk of my novel.
The beauty of this is that so far I have no idea what to say and I know that I will know the day before.
How to start? with a quote? With a piece of the novel? What
tone to use? Really? Ironic?
I share ... Desperation makes bad jokes ...

The Littest Petshop Dressup Games

4 Comments

Another flattering comment coming. this time by a journalist friend. I especially like when he says do not be angry for the first time the delay of his train because it would have had another 30 minutes to read my novel. Great stuff. Here's the comment in its entirety:

"Read all in one breath, in the space / time between Bologna from Rome in a round-trip Eurostar.
Monday, December 22: Christmas all around me talking. The city I leave and I come across, decorated for the holiday, my fellow travelers with packages and gifts and the luggage of one about to reach relatives of the "Christmas with your family." Even your book spoke to me for Christmas. She was able to predispormi Party, emotions clean and warmed my heart, leaving the good taste of the simple and beautiful.
I must have aroused the curiosity of some of the other travelers as I was engrossed in reading. Unperturbed to the continuous movement of sbagliaposto and non-occlusive disease. Impassive, almost happy - for once, the announcement of a 30-minute delay. Consilidata practice now for Trenitalia, but this time I made it possible to finish reading.
It 's always exciting to read a book by a friend. Discover a bit of him, and often a bit 'of yourself.
This time I found you, really a good talent. A story insistent enough to leave you on hold, while granting time to a careful reading and never flustered. One way to describe poetic and precise, so that you can imagine the environment and setting of the story. Easy to read and fluently, with some passages that require you to think ... never boring. And with phrases that you would like to emphasize. "Martina Liverani

Watch A Movie With Usb Cord On Comcast

The challenge of the unknown

course, when you publish a novel and you're nobody, when you turn the first to find friends, people who know you and maybe - in some cases - you buy it just so you do not regret. And it is obvious that this has happened to me too. I do not deny, however, that too many comments of friends were clearly more positive than it could provide a simple courtesy.
But there are two cases that I would mention, and are linked to two people completely unknown to me, outside of my world that do not even know my existence until you have read my novel.
The first is a messenger of DHL, bringing its deliveries to the reception of the place where I work, saw my book on the counter and wanted to buy.
few days later, again for his usual delivery route, said her colleague left the reception to let me know that the novel had read it once and it was very impressed and really liked it. The other
is that of a lady who was the gift packages for the Red Cross in one of the many shopping centers in the Veneto during the days pre-Christmas. A good friend of mine had gone there to be packing some copies of my book as a gift and she, curiously, had wanted a copy. My friend had they sold (I had other by ...) leaving the number because, in the case, called her to tell her if she liked it. But are those things that please you more than anything else. But after a few days the nurse called him to tell him that she liked the novel very much and would have probably got copies too.
In short, this lady, unknown to me but to my friend, has taken the trouble to call him to tell her. On purpose, you know?
These are the two most beautiful episodes of this period so full of satisfaction.
enter into life with strangers in your own words and be told that in some way have touched them. What more could you want from a first novel? Thanks to these strangers who now are my friends.
