Carnival 2009 in Sardinia
CARNIVAL IN SARDINIA
Lots of villages celebrate the arrival of the Carnival through masked parades, horse races, country dances and singing.
According to sardinian customs, the Carnival starts the 17th of January in correspondance to S.Antonio Abate celebrations and it carries on till the Ash Wednesday. Do not miss the Carnival of Mamoiada, the peculiar Carnival of Bosa, the playful karnival of Santu Lussurgiu and the most popular and expected one in Oristano.
The Carnival of Mamoiada is among the oldest folkloric events in Sardinia. It is a heartfelt happening, a moment of intense popular participation for the whole village whose inhabitants gather in the main square to dance all evening long “su passu torràu”, “su sàrtiu” and “su dillu”.
On the last Sunday and the last Tuesday of the carnival in Oristano it takes place the famous “Sa Sartiglia”, an old equestrian relaxing game of the XVI century. The protagonist of the manifestation is “Su Componidori”, an enigmatic figure, attractive because of the gorgeousness of his androgen mask which guides the other knights. Organized from two Gremi or Corporations, on Sunday from the countrymen and on Tuesday from the carpenters, Sa Sartiglia begins with the dandification of the chief runner by young ladies in traditional costumes, called “is massaieddas”. Proceeded by the “Bettenieri” and by the tambourines behind the masked cavaliers, “Su Componidori” crosses the city blessing the population with “Sa Pippa e Maju”. (Springtime flowers). The event takes place in via del Duomo where a star hangs on a green silk cordon in which the knights must impale their swords running galloping on their horses. Counting the impaled stars they decide the auspices for the next year.

Wonderful insight:-)
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

This page was not working this morning. i tried visiting it but it timed out 4-5 times now but i can access it now. Why did this occur? Am i the only one having this error?
All I can say is retain it up. This website is indeed needed inside a time when everyone just really wants to speak about how quite a few men and women someones cheated on their wife with. I suggest, many thanks for bringing intelligence back towards the web, its been sorely missed. Good stuff. Please maintain it coming!
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
