Forget Everything You Learned About Millennials. Meet Generation Hack.
Generation Hack is different from the Millennial generation. They are the opposites or extreme versions of Millennials. They wish their hobby would turn into a full-time job. They are mature and in control. They would rather save money than spend it. They are determined to “make a difference” and “make an impact.” Social entrepreneurship is one of the most popular career choices for them, as they intend to change the world.

I'm knitting a pair of wool socks for Annie. I'm not completely satisfied with this pattern. I think I will try one of the patterns I got from Anna (http://www.flickr.com/photos/effyblog/) instead.
It was fun to knit with the multi-coloured yarn!
Caltagirone is one of the most lively Baroque towns in central Sicily. It’s known in Italy as “The city of Sicilian ceramics” due to its thousand-year-old tradition. The name itself – Caltagirone – derives from an Arabic word meaning the Castle or Fortress of the vases.Caltagirone ceramics have been used for centuries to decorate parks and churches, streets and squares. The typical colours of local pottery, sage green and yellow, are the colours of Sicily itself, of its sun and breathtaking beauty.A visit to the Regional Museum of Ceramics is a must to appreciate the artistic value of Sicilian pottery and its evolution over the centuries.The local production of functional pottery started as early as the 2nd century b. C, thanks to the abundance of clay in the area. The style and techniques adopted by the first inhabitants of Caltagirone were deeply influenced and modified by the many dominations which took turns in this part of Sicily. First the Romans, then the Greeks, the Arabs, the Spanish and the Normans, each culture provided new elements of creativity and technical experience to the local ceramic production, making it one of the most distinctive in Italy.Ceramic is everywhere in Caltagirone, strictly combined with architectural works: in ancient and modern buildings, churches, monuments, parks and squares. The main landmark of the city is the 142-step monumental Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte, built from 1608 in the old part of the town. The peculiarity is that each step is decorated with different hand-decorated ceramics, using styles and figures derived from the millennial tradition of pottery making. Once a year, on and around the day of the city’s patron saint, (St. James, 25 July), the staircase is illuminated with candles of different colours arranged in order to reconstruct an artistic drawing of several tens of meters.Nowadays, besides the traditional and lively production of pottery, both functional and decorative, Caltagirone is also famous for the ceramic whistles and the Presepi, nativity scenes made with terracotta or ceramic characters and accessories, which carefully revive the daily life of simple people over the centuries.Caltagirone is definitely worth a visit. You’ll be able to enjoy its lively traditions, folklore and beautiful buildings. Not to mention the great Sicilian food and wine.In order to protect its beautiful Baroque building and churches, the city has been inserted together with the surrounding territory in an area protected by the UNESCO World Heritage program.
La vita della ceramica fonda le sue radici nell'epoca neolitica e l'arte della ceramica siciliana, deve le origini a Sicani e Siculi che precedentemente alla colonizzazione greca, produssero vasellame prima plasmato a mano libera, poi forgiato a tornio e successivamente impreziosito con decorazioni a graffito e dipinti.I greci poi, continuarono questa produzione nella stessa isola, fornendosi della ricca collina argillosa di Caltagirone. Una fiorente industria del miele contribuì nell'alimentare la produzione di vasellame vista la grande quantità di recipienti che l'industria richiedeva, ed il vicino bosco di S. Pietro forniva ai ceramisti abbondante legna per le loro fornaci. Gli antichi decori tradizionali del vasellame con figure e scene centrali, tracciate con tocco rapido e "dipinte con colori tenui, arricchiscono sia le semplici "graste" per piantine e fiori, sia vasi policromi in " forme di volti, paladini, re, figure e scene mitologiche e vengono oggi, accompagnati ed arricchiti da una rigogliosa fioritura di creazioni moderne e fantasiose. Oggi Caltagirone, è centro di riferimento artistico e produttivo della ceramica siciliana ed è sede di numerosi laboratori, di un illustre istituto d'Arte e di un importante museo della ceramica. Ha radici nel lontano 1715, l'irrefrenabile passione per la ceramica caltagironese che oggi riscontriamo immutata in coloro che hanno dato vita alle ceramiche
