Rinviata Juventus-Parma, dopo la morte di un tifoso emiliano di 28 anni, Matteo Bagnaresi, travolto da un pullman di juventini e ucciso nell'area di servizio 'Crocetta' vicino Torino. Il mezzo era vuoto e l'autista stava facendo manovra quando è avvenuto l'incidente. Secondo le prime notizie prima dell'incidente in cui è morto il giovane, tra le due tifoserie nell'area di servizio al chilometro 48 dell'A21 Piacenza-Torino ci sarebbero stati degli degli 'sfotto'', ma non scontri. Bagnaresi, viveva a Parma e avrebbe compiuto 28 anni a settembre. Era figlio unico. E' morto sul colpo ed il suo corpo é ancora sul luogo dell'incidente, coperto da un telo. Nell'area di servizio sono arrivati i genitori del tifoso morto, mentre l'autista è sotto interrogatorio. L'autista del pullman non s
Un supporter gialloblù perde la vita, travolto nell’area di servizio Crocetta vicino a Torino da un pulmino di tifosi bianconeri, mentre fra i tifosi delle opposte fazioni stava salendo la tensione. I cancelli dell’Olimpico sono stati chiusi

Le immagini dell'autobus più lussuoso al mondo che lasciano a bocca aperta... infatti può ospitare al suo interno un'automobile, si avete capito bene, proprio un'auto e all'interno beh... basta vedere: schermi al plasma, sedili in pelle beige, divani, tavoli, letti, bagno... di tutto di più. Semplicemente fantastico. 5 stelle plus.
Author on anti-Catholic criticism and how he imagined the epic worldTODAYupdated 1:22 p.m. ET Nov. 2, 2007“The Golden Compass” is the first in Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy. In the first volume, Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea or Redwall. Here lives an 11-year-old orphaned ward named Lyra Belacqua, whose carefree life among the scholars at Oxford's Jordan College is shattered by the arrival of two powerful visitors. First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe.

I find this subject to be fascinating really. It seems that a lot of the things being spread right now by, unfortunately, a small sect of religious nuts about Pullman's The Golden Compass, in light of the recent film adaptation, have been flat out lies. It actually amazes me how gullible people are to believe a lot of the things being said. Here's an example:In the words of the author, “I want to kill God in the minds of Children…. I want them to decide against God and the Kingdom of Heaven.”I got this quote from here, but you can see it everywhere in this Google search. What? When and where did he say this? As the original link points out, the author, as far as we know, never actually said this. There's no proof. No citation, not nothing. It was spread through an email as propaganda against the author and the movie. The way it seems to me is that these people, rather than allowing their children to make their own decisions, are attempting to cl
The Washington Post wrote one of the Reviews for The Golden Compass...full article here.The Golden Compass Movie - Based upon the Book - The Golden Compass - by Phillip PullmanThey describe the movie The Golden Compass as, "too many characters too fast; too much emphasis on design and effects and not enough on emotion." The Golden Compass is based upon author Philip Pullman's novel, The Golden Compass tells the first story in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, an amazing fantasy book series.I havn't had a chance to see the movie, but The Golden Compass movie trailer looks simply amazing and has a great epic feel. It is hard to judge a movie based upon one scene, but my sentiment is that I want to see this amazing film.
I was recently having a discussion with a classmate in my Modern German Fiction class--a relatively interesting class actually--on the subject of the film adaptation of The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. First, I haven't read all the books so anything I am going to discuss here is from what I have read about the book online and elsewhere and what I have been told by people who have read the book. Second, some of what I'm going to bring up from the discussion from the other day may not be true. I haven't researched it because it really doesn't matter considering that the argument I'll be making it still valid whether what I learned is true or not. Given the history of the relationship between literature and religion I am highly inclined to believe it. Now, as many of you know, Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series is highly critical of organized religion--Christianity to be specific. Pullman himself is an outspoken atheist as has been said countless
I have, for so many months now, been overwhelmed by keeping up with the details of life - by surviving life. Intellectual thought, self-education, artistic expression and self-examination were left behind in March to function adequately as a mother, semi-coherently and half-effectively professionally, and sometimes ably as a homemaker.
But I'm starting to see through the obscuring fog, just in

Mercedes has announced that it's working on the next generation Pullman limousine, which is based on the long version of the S600 with a substantially extended wheelbase length. Pullman limos have transported some of the world's most important leaders across the decades and this all-new model should continue the tradition. Behind the partition, there is space for four passengers in the rear compartment with face-to-face seats, like the Pullmans of old. In terms of technology, the new Pullman Limousine is based on the flagship Mercedes Benz S600L Guard model. Power comes courtesy of a 5.5L V12 biturbo engine developing 380kW/517 hp and a massive peak torque of 830Nm. Both the chassis and the body have also been strengthened, since simply adding on an extension would not have ensured the required overall stability, given the extra-long wheelbase. Buyers can also option the Pullman with the same security systems found in the S600 Guard, which is based on a S600L platform. Its armour r
