It's Over for Khloe, Lamar: TMZ
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
(NEWSER) – Friday the 13th is indeed going to be a very unlucky day for Lamar Odom, if TMZ is to be believed. Sources tell the gossip site Khloe Kardashian is filing for divorce today. There's been trouble in paradise for a while now, thanks to Odom's alleged drug problems, but apparently Khloe was pushed over the edge by a slurring, shirtless rap video Odom made in which he rapped about cheating on his wife with lyrics like "And when Khloe's out of town / I still be on the DL."

Brown Sugar and Mustard Glazed Corned Beef
5 stars
2 reviews
ready in: 2-5 hrs
serves/makes: 6
recipe id: 36513
cook method: oven, stovetop
add photo
★ review it!
4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 gallon water, as needed
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown mustard
Rinse off the brisket under running water, and then trim off excess fat.
Place the meat and enough water to cover it in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the water simmers gently.
Cook until very tender but not falling apart, about 3 hours. About every half hour, skim the fat from the water's surface with a large spoon and discard. Add more water as needed to keep the brisket submerged.
Test the cooked meat for tenderness by piercing the meat with a meat fork. (It should meet only slight resistance.) Remove the meat, cover with plastic wrap and set aside while you prepare the glaze.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a sauce pot, combine the sugar and water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. When the mixture has turned syrupy, after about 5 minutes, stir in the mustard. Continue simmering another 2-3 minutes.
Place the brisket on a rack over a sheet tray. Paint a thin coating of glaze over the entire brisket. Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, reglazing every 10 minutes. Remove the brisket when the glaze is shiny, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Use a sharp slicing knife to carve thin slices and serve.

TV Fanatic Staff Selection, Take 5: Chair for Best Teen Couple!by Leigh Raines at . Comments
Welcome to the latest opportunity for a TV Fanatic staff member to defend one of our Best Teen Couple nominees. If you missed previous editions, so far...
- Carissa Pavlica has shown love for Delena.
- Matt Richenthal has explained his affection for Soby.
- Eric Hochberger has dared to love Dair.
- Dan Forcella has taken a step Forwood.
Now, it's up to Leigh Raines to pull up a Chair. Take it away, Leigh, and best of luck...
Who is the best teen couple on television, this website is asking? Sorry, Forwood fans, but the answer is clear.
Look, I'm an adult, so I'm not going to sit here and say that Blair has never had chemistry with another person. Yes, even Lonely Boy got some face time, but - with apologies to Dair supporters - I just feel more of a friendship vibe between those two.
So let's agree to disagree and let me preach to all you Chair fiends out there. I need your voting to go VIRAL. Let's face it, Blair Waldorf doesn't settle for second or third place. Therefore, I present to you a love letter to a relationship that's five years in the making:
The Chair defense rests.
Dear Chair,
In the beginning, you entertained us with a friendship fueled by a mutual love for schemes and takedowns. Then, a certain champagne-doused evening, with a striptease at Chuck's burlesque club, led to hot virginity-losing limo sex. Not even Blair's attempt at confession could put the fire out that sparked between you two that night (twice, if I recall correctly.) Since then it's been magnetic, electrifying, bewitching, tantalizing, scintillating and whatever other adjective you want to throw my way.
I'm not going to lie and say these past few years have been the smoothest ride, but then again nobody ever said a great love was easy. They just said it was worth it. So what if it took you guys a few years to say those three words? What was that Chuck said during his best man speech at the end of season one? Oh yes, the importance of perseverance.
I can't give you up, because you two can't give each other up. Chuck, I blubbered like a baby when you showed up at Blair's, crying after your father's funeral and she held your hand all through the night. When you wanted to lose yourself around the world or jump off of a building, who saved you? Blair. Against everything in her being, Blair met you at that Paris train station to stop you from running away. That was a beautiful scene.
Blair, you two may have not been together when you didn't get into Yale, but Chuck knew he couldn't let you spiral with scum like Carter Baizen. He applied to Columbia without you knowing. He reminded you when you were floundering at NYU that he wasn't Chuck Bass without Blair Waldorf. Then, there was that time he took a bullet to protect the ring he hoped to give to you one day.
This week's ending scene - with Chuck's overdue apology - probably sealed the deal for me. Blair, you want to love Louis, but love isn't something that can be forced. Chuck, your apology might be too little too late, but it shows you're growing into a better man.
You were both too immature, conniving, and narcissistic to be together in the past. That's why it didn't work. But I, like so many of your viewers, know that you two are end game. So Chuck, could you please go retrieve that gorgeous Harry Winston rock and save Blair from the dullest Prince there ever was? Let's get this show on the road kids. As Blair herself said at the end of season four: "The great loves are the crazy ones." And you two are certifiably, undeniably and perfectly crazy... for each other.
Chair fans everywhere
Who's TV's best teen couple?
Poll is now closed! Here are the results:Elena and Stefan (The Vampire Diaries)
Leigh Raines is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Gossip Girl, Commentary, Polls
@Chair fans Sorry, this whole chemistry thing between Chuck and Blair stops at sexual. I don't see the potential for a longterm relationship between the two. I've only seen glimpses of actual character from Chuck. If there's no trust, there can be no Chair. Dair is healthy because they are working from the ground up and building trust and faith in each other. Chair is like a sinking ship throwing anything to patch up the holes.
It's good to see a Chair article/blog once in awhile because I noticed the bloggers or some or whoever own this site seemed to foreshadow the other opponent. Don't be too obvious TVfanatic. You're making me love you. ;)
Chair forever!! Their loves make the show what it is ♥
OMG!this is so amazing!! I love it!!I was teary-eyed when I was reading it..Truly, these 2 had been through a lot..But still I'm not losing hope that CHAIR will be together again...GG is not GG without CHAIR!!
Thank you! That was beautiful. I never gave up on them too. Chuck and Blair have always been my OTP.
The emotive reactions that Chair instill in the viewer cannot be matched by any other pairing. Whether it's love, hate, angst, passion, sex, banter, friction, anxiety - every emotion is heightened with these two on our screens. Which means that they are magnetic, inevitable, toxic, and crazily in love. They belong together because without one another they are hollow and half of what they can be.
You are right. Ed has chemistry pretty much with all cast even he has more chemistry with Monkey than Dan and Blair have. Ed and Leighton in real life has great sexual chemistry as well.They have everything that makes good tv.Chuck and Blair have sexual emotional dramatic comedic chemistry which most tv couples lack. Dan and Blair are only good when they are fighting. I can't stand the dullness when they have a normal conversation.Why destroy their great frenemy banter which makes them enjoyable most.
Chuck and Blair are the best couple on tv not on gossipgirl and they are endgame. I love watchig them together. they are toxicly sexy. they are my OTP.I know they are endgame and they have to be.
Love all the comments about Ed and Leighton's chemistry. If they were not playing Chuck and Blair I probably would not ship Chair. I bet I wouldn't even ^like* Chuck and Blair as characters! They aren't exactly heroic good guy types but that's half their appeal. They aren't flawless people and they don't have a flawless relationship and thank god for that!
@Alyssa and @Olivia It's all about the chemistry for me too (@observer, apologies for using such a cliche reason for liking them! lol). I like the chemistry of basically the entire cast with each including Dair- who I personally like more as friends. However I enjoy Chair's chemistry the most and its probably only because of EL that i've not turned on their story even in the darkest moments. Whether the scene calls for steaminess, witty banter or angst EL always reel me in. Their history and chemistry make scenes feel heavy with tension. There's a spark and I too feel like its one of best pairings (chemistry wise) on TV period. They haven't had all that many scenes since 4.09 (btw l love their weird, hot makeout session in that episode where theyre moaning about clothes and scheming hah) but I do believe they are always good, and sometimes beyond great. I understand others' statements about abuse of course but i agree with @pty that basically the writers did a poor job many times (like in 4.20- which is terribly shot too) but have stated they did not intend to depict an abusive relationship so I take them at their word. I didnt take their word easily at first and I was too angered at what was shown but have since just decided its fiction and they can do what they want even if its lazy writing. Its all about EL and the work they do. They have risen above their material many times. I do also like the Wuthering Heights, harlequin romance feel of their relationship. This is just one gal's opinion!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Speakers at a Statehouse rally have urged Kansas lawmakers to give families more choice in where their children attend school and how they're taught.
More than 50 people took part in Tuesday's gathering to promote an array of options for what is broadly called school choice.
Some speakers advocated giving families tax credits or vouchers for private schools or home schooling.
They also urged expansion of a Kansas law that allows for limited charter schools, which are overseen by public school districts. In addition, lawmakers voted last year to create so-called innovative school districts that would be exempt from some rules and regulations
Speakers said the underlying issues are whether public schools are meeting children's needs and the extent of parents' control over how and what their children are taught.

LST-765 was laid down on 8 July 1944 at Ambridge, Pa., by the American Bridge Co.; launched on 26 August 1944; sponsored by Mrs. W. P. Douglas; and commissioned on 18 September 1944.
During World War II, LST-765 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto in May and June 1945. Following the war, LST-765 performed occupation duty in the Far East until early December 1945. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 29 April 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 3 July that same year. On 16 December 1947, the ship was sold to B. T. Jones for scrapping.
LST-765 earned one battle star for World War II service.

Mogambe (1953)
Description: The 1953 Clark Gable film Mogambo is a remake of Gable's 1932 seriocomic adventure Red Dust. Where the earlier film was lensed on the MGM backlot, Mogambo was shot on location in Africa by director John Ford. Gable is safari leader Victor Marswell, who plays host to stranded Eloise Y. Kelly (Ava Gardner, who is no better than she ought to be but is just right for our raffish hero -- the Gardner role was originally played along franker pre-Code lines by Jean Harlow). Anthropologist Donald Nordley (Donald Sinden) hires Victor to lead him into the deepest, darkest jungle. Along for the ride is Donald's wife, Linda (Grace Kelly), outwardly cool as a cucumber but secretly harboring a lust for Victor. Scorned, Kelly tries to kill Victor, but true-blue Eloise takes the blame for the shooting. Reportedly, Grace Kelly carried on an off-camera romance with Clark Gable, which ended when the differences in their ages proved insurmountable. Even so, it is the easy rapport between Gable and Ava Gardner which stole the show in Mogambo.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The house was built back in 1968 by a group of boys who wanted a spot to sunbathe while at the river.
The house was built back in 1968 by a group of boys who wanted a spot to sunbathe while at the river. Rather than settling on the comfort of raw bedrock, they took to constructing a building from wood boards reclaimed from a nearby shed that had been destroyed. Getting the materials onto the rock was no easy task — the wood was brought over by boat or kayak, and heftier pieces were taken upstream and left to float downstream where they were caught by the boys on the rock. In addition to a sun-bathing deck, the home boasts a small room. While several severe storms and floods have wreaked havoc on the construction over the last 45 years, the home has always been brought back to good repair.

In 2014, Latinos will surpass whites as largest racial/ethnic group in California
According to California Governor Jerry Brown's new state budget, Latinos are projected to become the largest single racial/ethnic group in the state by March of this year, making up 39% of the state's population. That will make California only the second state, behind New Mexico, where whites are not the majority and Latinos are the plurality, meaning they are not more than half but they comprise the largest percentage of any group.
California's demographers also project that in mid-2014, the state's residents will be 38.8% white non-Hispanic, 13% Asian American or Pacific Islander, 5.8% black non-Hispanic, and less than 1% Native American. But the state's demographics in 2014 are very different from what they had been. In 2000, California's 33.9 million residents were 46.6% white non-Hispanic, 32.3% Latino, 11.1% Asian American or Pacific Islander, 6.4% black non-Hispanic and about 1% Native American. In 1990, white non-Hispanics made up more than half (57.4%) of the state's then 29.7 million residents, while 25.4% of Californians were Latino, 9.2% were Asian American or Pacific Islander, 7.1% were black non-Hispanic and about 1% were Native American.
This 2014 demographic milestone will arrive about eight months later than the state originally expected. Last year, California's Department of Finance demographers projected that the Latino population would match the non-Hispanic white population in size by mid-2013.
But as birth rates among Hispanics have slowed (as they have nationally for Latinos and the overall U. S. population with the recession), the state this month readjusted its projection to March 2014. When this milestone occurs, it will mark the first time since California became a state in 1850 that Latinos are the Golden State's single largest racial or ethnic group.
With more than 14 million Hispanic residents, California has the nation's largest Hispanic population. But only in California and New Mexico will Hispanics be the largest racial or ethnic population (in New Mexico, Hispanics make up 47% of the state's population).
Texas may be next. According to Pew Research Center tabulations from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, in 2012 there were 10 million Latinos and 11.6 million non-Hispanic whites living in Texas, making up 38.2% and 44.4%, respectively, of the state's 26.1 million residents. By contrast, in 2000, Latinos made up 31.9% and white non-Hispanics made up 52.4% of the state's 20.8 million residents. These numbers indicate the Hispanic population is growing more quickly than the non-Hispanic white population—since 2000 Hispanics have made up 63.5% of the Lone Star state's population growth.
After Texas, though, it's unlikely any other state will follow any time soon. Florida's 4.5 million Hispanics—the third largest Hispanic state population—make up just 23.2% of all Floridians, while white non-Hispanics make up 56.8%. In Arizona, Hispanics make up 30.2% of the state's population, and non-Hispanic whites make up 56.9%. And in Nevada, the state's 753,000 Hispanics make up 27.3% of the state's population compared with white non-Hispanics' 52.8%.
What's the only other state where non-Hispanic whites are not the largest racial or ethnic group? Hawaii. The Rainbow state is the only state in which Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders are the largest racial/ethnic group. Of the state's 1.4 million residents, just 22.8% are non-Hispanic white, but nearly half (46.1%) are Asian American or Pacific Islander.

One factual mishap: While it is true that Hispanics lost control in (Alta) California in the 1848-1850 period, a white demographic plurality/majority did not occur until 1878-1880, after the railroads from the Midwest were completed and a lot more immigration had occurred.
In more general, what you present needs to be a lot more widely disseminated. Most people I mention this to are surprised, it sounds extravagent to them and they disbelieve me. People so want to cling on to their 20th Century conceptions!
I cannot stress enough, how much Hispanics hate to be called "LATINo". Drop the "LATINo" nonsense. Hispanics speak Spanish, not Latin.
Hispanic is not a race or a colour. You have no idea how much some Hispanics get pissed off when the media refers to Hispanics as "Brown" or as "People of colour".
Hispanic is a term created by a democratic politician as a calculated way to group a large population of people in the U.S. for political reasons that would benefit the Democratic party. I am considered hispanic, but I am of mixed European background: Spanish, French, and German. I have a Spanish last name. Most people are quite surprised when they find out I'm hispanic because I "look" white! Its because I am white. My family has always considered us caucasian. My mother's sisters have very light brown hair, blue eyes, and Spanish last names. The word Hispanic is not accurate at all anyway to describe people from Mexico, South America , and Central America. Hispanic comes from the word Hispania which is what "Spain" used to be called during the time of the Romans. Why is it necessary anyway to break down the races and ethnicities in the U.S. Why aren't we all just Americans. I grew up very close to a girl who wascfrom Argentina. Her mother was Spanish decent, her father was Italian decent, but they never referred to themselves as Spanish or Italian! They always, always just referred to themselves as Argentinian. Why can'tawe just all refer to ourselves as Americans. If an Italian-American goes to Italy and says he is Italian, they will laught at him and say "no, you are not Italian you are American! "
Well, it would be nice to think that everyone could just get along by defining themselves as Americans. BUT what does it mean to be an American? American's since the founding of this country have had a very homogenous society. Racially, culturally, Religiously and consequently have had a strong sense of unity. This country has been 90% Causasian of ethnic European decent and Christian up until 1965, the year that our immigration policy changed. Americans are these people, the culture and values they had were expressed in the constitution. THAT'S what an American is. Why don't people just consider themselves American then? Well, they don't identify themselves as American first. They are Black(insert minority) first, and insist on keeping their black identity. They INSIST on having their own culture, their own values and their own interests. Some minority's don't even share the values enshrined in the Constitution. Our Muslim population for instance. The problem is they AREN'T Americans, DON'T WANT to be American's because they DON'T WANT to share the common culture, religion and values. I don't care whether you have a piece of paper that says you're a citizen. If you don't come here to be apart of what we created in its entirety, don't leave behind you're "ethic diversity" and are simply here for a better life economically without taking on the culture and values that were responsible in creating the prosperity you've come for.. Then you'll always be "diverse" AS IN DIFFERENT and will inevitably destroy this country and its prosperity. As has been the trend since 1965. Diversity is not a strength, it is our greatest weakness. Unity, common language, values and a shared identity is what DEFINES a country. These commonalities define a people and its around these people that you draw the border of your nation. America is breaking apart along the lines of this diversity and when the economy reaches low enough, the lines end up being redrawn. You'll see the Hispanics calling for the southwest back, since they believe it was stolen during the Spanish American War. Why? They identify themselves as apart due to their language and cultural differences and want their own country or unify with Mexico. California is now over 50% Hispanic.. We'll see how long it takes but once they have established an overwhelming majority, you'll see it happen. You on the other hand, are white, despite how politics label you for their benefit, and you identify as an American because of our shared ethnic and cultural heritage. If you ask a Mexican, and he's honest, I think you'll find he will tell you who he identifies with. Mexicans.
Hi Mark ,
When I examined the 2010 US Census stats on folks who were enumerated as Black alone or in combination with another race, the Black population is listed as 13.4% to just under 14%. The Pew Hispanic Center itself once quoted or displayed figures from the Census Bureau which stated that a\the average age of individuals who were listed as multiracial Black in combination with another race to be – 14-16 yrs old! Person who self-identifies as Black – "wholly or in part- makes as much a cultural/personal/social statement as someone who checks off Irish/Italian/Latino etc.
Why are Mexicans brown 'n proud when they're good citizens but labeled white in crime statistics by the FBI?
Why is this article calling them a seperate race?
Many Latinos and Hispanics are white so shouldn't it read "non-Latinos or non-Hispanics." I realize it is not as catchy but it is more accurate. I am mixed race Dominican of mostly European, African, Native, Middle Eastern and Asian ancestry living in LA.
Me too! I don't get it!
Latinos are mixed ethnic peoples from the Americas. Hispanics are Iberians. Spain=Hespania. There is no such thing as "white" or "black". This is an invention meant to divide. I am LATINO.
It is not meant to divide. It is meant for simplicity in statistics. If instead you listed people by every single one of the hundreds of nationalities how confusing would that be. Whites are supposed to be any person who's ancestors originate from Europe. Blacks are supposed to be any person who's ancestors originate from Africa.
it doesn't matter what race we are we are all kids of the same god
Yes we are, we are All the Human Race and we All come from the same GOD!
Yes we are. We all evolved from chimps and emigrated from Africa within the last 50,000 years.
Ive had it with CA. I'm getting as far away form this place as possible. Their racism against other groups is starting to be intolerable. Now I know how life was for minority's back in the early 1900s. I'm ok with them having more kids then they can afford but because of it crime has been on the increase out here for years with no end in sight. I always here a few of them say "Where taking over". Maybe that's true for now but even god would have had enough eventually and would make it so that more Hispanic boys are being born then girls.
I am really sorry i find it wrong that some of our spanish brothers say that i am dominican and i dont like it just because we are growing doesn't mean we can step on others and make them feel bad i am not like that i think that what makes american special is not the race but it is everyone united and combined we can share languages culture food music dances and so much more the population or races dont even matter and the people that say "We are taking over" think they are the best but that doesn't represent all of us because i am not like that some people are ignorant -_- i am really sorry Lo siento
I'd like to know why Hispanics and Latinos are all lumped together? They aren't all the same race and they don't all come from the same culture. The largest ethnic group in California might be Hispanics but the largest racial group in California are still whites because Hispanic is not a race.
bc most are mixed race and it would be too hard to put down each percent of what they are. Most are a mix of some type of native American/white and maybe a bit black. All mixes will vary in proportionate but if they are enough white to look white then they usually just call themselves white.
Not all Hispanics are mixed. Many are actually 100% and don't just look it. For example, Mexico's population is about 10% pure white. Other Latin countries have higher percentages of White Hispanics. Argentina is about 97% White. It varies. If you include White Hispanics with Non-Hispanic Whites, then Whites are still the Majority by at least 5-10%
"Argentina is about 97% White" thats BS, maybe buenos aires (porteños) but the rest are mestizo, not even Germany has a percentage of whites that high!.
Yes it does! Stop making stuff up!
Wow, irony. White isn't a race either but the gov't still marks us as White or Hispanic.
In California Hispanic and Latino means the same thing.
It goes something like this: White, Black, Hispanic Spanish or Latino is the same as far as im concerned. So, theres goes my check mark as Hispanic no matter if you are white, black, mestizo, aborigen, mulato or wathever you call yourself. Lately i noticed in Florida have eliminated that option. Last time i visited the Sheriffs office for some fingerprints the official noticed i was having a hard time figuring out the race since Hispanic was not available that she looked at me and just marked Caucasian….sometimes i mark the black or Native American but never Caucasian. Im very confused.
Why are you confused?
I went in to get fingerprints too and found myself confused and offended. Why can't I say I'm Hispanic/Latino– Mexican-American!
I'm not white, black, Native American….or other! I know who I am and I want to say it! Yes, I'm upset!
It's funny how Governor Jerry Brown made that statement about the population of latinos in California when he is partly responsible for them being here. By signing off on the dream act is what 100% why they are in california today. I have two questions for Jerry brown what are you doing for the native born California's other than making them pay high taxes and paying for all of these illegal aliens education? What have you done for the veterans other than taxing their army retirement checks also to help pay for the education of illegal Aliens? When native born army retiree's asked if state taxes can be eliminated from their checks you provided no response but yet you made sure that the Mexican and illegal aliens had the dream act. What a disgrace.
That sounds like a typical right wing response, noticed Texas doesn't have that many more whites and conservatives like yourself like Texas. What is Rick Perry doing for the white population that is poorer, nothing In fact Florida is the most white of the states but all I here is how great Texas is.
Good Job Jerry Brown keep up the good work..that's right I love your last name (BROWN) Not white or black BROWN…
How is this possible? How can PEW publish such wrong information?
Most Hispanics are of the white race, so the white population is NOT decreasing.
The Anglo ethnic whites are decreasing relative to Hispanic whites.
Come on. You guys have to know this.
actually most hispanics are a mix of native american and spanish in different proprtions. If they are like 75% or more percent white they usually just put white. You would be right if you were including those also mixed with native blood as white
Actually, most LATINOS are of differeing ethnic/racial backgrounds. Why don't you get your information correct before perpetuating ignorance. Hispanics are ALL white. Brown and black Latinos identifying as Hispanics that are actually people of color are doing so incorrectly. Hispanics are whites from Spain and other southwest European countries, though they can also be decedents from Hispanics living in Mexico. Latinos aren't a single race. There are black Latinos, white Latinos(Hispanics), and brown Latinos, so the information on the racial percentages of California are confusing. Hispanic and Latino aren't interchangeable. You CAN be a Hispanic Latino but Latino doesn't necessarily mean one is Hispanic. That being said, most non-Hispanic Latinos identify as Hispanic because they're ignorant and aren't aware that Hispanics are really just Spanish-speaking whites. So, the population of whites—both Hispanic and non-Hispanic—could potentially be less then Latinos of color, since they, too, incorrectly identify as Latino. Please be aware that when I say "whites" I, indeed, mean to say Euro-Americans/Anglo-Americans.
Correction to typo: Since they, too, incorrectly identify as Hispanic**
Yes, James isnt' being accurate. There are indeed White Hispanics / Latinos that never mixed with blacks or native Americans. The percentage varies from country to country in Latin America. Most Americans think that Hispanics are all brown (mixed). Many are shocked that White and Black Hispanics (and some Asian) exist.
Your statement is factually bankrupt. Most "Hispanics" are not white. Hispanics are the people who inhabit the so called "New World" Mexico, Central and South America and also parts of the Caribbean. I have traveled to every part of Latin America and most people in that part of the world are "mestizo" meaning mixed, some variation of Native American African, European mix. The Native Indian genetic imprint is in some countries the largest component, added with heavy African admixture in places like Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico , Honduras, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica etc. The genetic European influences are only dominant in a few countries in South America… Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay Chile etc… Most of who we see on American city streets deemed Hispanic are Native American peoples with specs of Spanish blood, especially from Mexico. And even many Mexicans are " "zambos" black and Indian mixed. I am Mexican and in my own family like in many Mexican families I have cousins who look black American as well as Indian and some even white. We are New World people like many African Americans who when they do their DNA find that they are African, Indian and white. We are brown, from dark to light brown in most cases and I think like many white Americans you are afraid of the "BROWNING "of this country. Hence your need to rush and place us in the WHITE BOX. Fear creates distortion and your post is a perfect example of this fact.
I know and am friends with quite a lot of Hispanics. And it's safe to say that I really enjoy being around them. It's always a fun time. They're so laid back and friendly. They do like to cut-up and have a good time poking fun at each other, which is fun to watch.
It doesn't bother me (as if my opinion counts) that the kids are reunited with their families. Keep out the gang bangers though.
Funny, no one complaints about the millions, yes millions of illegal British, Canadians and Germans who live in Florida and are illegally employed at restaurants or Germans who own business in Florida and do not pay taxes. This does hurt our economy.
Should I go on? How about Chinese women in Brooklyn who are brought here illegally and have to pay back by selling movies, CD's and counterfeits on the streets in order to pay their trip and room and board where they sleep on the floor along with twenty other women.
Believe it or not, you barely see any europeans and if you do, theyre tourists. ALL you see are Hispanics.
I don't want to be racist, cuz i do have many hispanic friends and i like them and I am white.
True, but Texas has more people employed here illegality than Florida but few on the right are honest. They just use California all the time. Here's the population estimates of illegal immigrant in each state,California I think actually lost some since the birth rates are dropping its probably around 2.5 million , Texas is second with 1.7 million and Florida is only 700,000.
At what point will it be required that all native born Americans (white and black) learn to speak, read nd write Spanish?
That will happen after 218 members of the House of Representatives AND 51 Senators pass a bill requiring spanish fluency, AND it is signed by the sitting President, AND is held as Constitutional by the US Supreme Court. This is 6th grade civics, and we are ostensibly grown ups who, despite paranoid rhetoric and ignorant talk radio, know exactly what it takes before some oppressive law is forced upon everyone.
Here is a review:
Yeah right you tell me what 40-60 year old need learn Spanish at this late game? You have to learn this language when you are young
Never the United States is a English speaking country they don't have to if I went to Mexico or any other foreign national country I would have to learn your language. The america people are smart they would not come to your home and claim it, they will come with money, to help them survive until they can get a job, or own a business. But do you really think that Mexico going to allow black and white people to own businesses there? Will Mexico have free programs set up and pay there taxes for our children to get an education? I don't think so.
Black and white people DO own buisnesses in Mexico, because black Latinos and white Latinos actually exist.. People don't seem to understand that Mexico is as much a melting pot as the U.S., with African, European, Asian, and indigenous people living there. And yes, Mexico does have programmes that help those in need. Keep in mind the lower-class primarily consists of indigenous, mixed, and African Latinos.
Sheila – my parents in-law both spoke Spanish as their first language, and both, with the exception of one German ancestor from the early 1800s, have ancestors all of who were in this country before Jamestown and the Mayflower.
And as for Mexico, my brother lives in Mexico and can own a business there.
That would be great. Most Europeans speak at least 2 languages fluently. It would be great to have our kids all be bilingual. Canada has been very successful educating their kids to be bilingual in English and French.
Looking white and being genetically white are two different things. I'm black and have mixed ancestry, as do most black Americans.That is why we come in a variety of skin colors, hair textures, hair colors, eye colors, facial features, and body structures.We are the products of MGM (Multi-Generational Miscengination).
I agree
I agree with you I am black with mixed ancestory
what about latinos who are white (of european descent)??
not all hispanics/latinos are mestizos
hispanics are considered white racially, only ethnically are they considered hispanic.
In North America Hispanics, in my experience, are typically considered "honorary" Caucasians. Racially they are mostly of Indian (Native American} ancestry.
The Conquistadors came as solders is search of gold and silver to ship back to Spain, and priests seeking to expand the realm of the (Catholic) Church. Soldiers and (Catholic) priests didn't leave many decedents.
Mexicans of European ancestry are most often of Italian ancestry–descended from the large number of immigrants who fled Italian poverty for the Americas. They arrived in Mexico (and the United States) toward the end of the 19th century {late 1800's} and the start of the 20th century (early 1900's}. Also, many shop keepers in northern Mexico, although culturally Mexican, are actually of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.
Throughout history many Europeans went to Mexico not just Italians. A small amount of Italians, Germans, and etc settled in Mexico when comparing the amounts to the Spaniards amounts. Spaniards were the majority of Europeans to settle in Mexico.
On a different note, just because an American is tired of spending their hard earned dollars on caring for illegals (All illegals…brown, yellow, white and whatever else there might be) doesn't mean they are a "right winged". That is a term invented by media, politicians and god knows who else. The majority of these people are average Joe's of all races and all backgrounds. We work hard for a moderate pay, we love our country and what it stands for. We grew tired of not being heard and started to speak out. Now we are labeled. You are labeling the core of America.
I can barely make ends meet , yet the government spends money without any concerns for the tax payers.
Also, If you want to live in America, do it the way my grandparents did. They waited in line, went through the process, and they never took a dime from the tax payers. Yes America welcomes all, but you must come through the front door not sneak in from the sidelines.
I consider myself a typical Mexican . I am 30 percent spanish 31 percent Native American 27 percent Italian and I or 2 percent Eng,lebon,Jew,fin and Island Boy. I have 14 brothers and seesters and we all have Rosary Beads hanging in our cars ! I also have a German/Irish wife that I have been with since 1989.
I agree with Angie… Mexico had a huge influx of Spanish, Italians, Germans, and Irish and that immigration to Mexico started way before the 19th century. My Father is White Mexican with Blonds and Redheads in the family. About 10% of Mexico is racially White. About 80% is Mestizo, and 10% Native American.
Other countries in Latin America have higher percentages of racially Whites with Argentina being 97% White.
Argentina 97% White? lel nop. Not even Germany has a percentage of Whites that high.
Lol! Caucasian mexican are mostly descended from colonist that came during th colonia era . Italian/ mexican number a few thousand only.
I don't believe any of that
They are not of white decent unless the mother is married to a white man and even then they are an mixed decent not fully white. Europeans to me are very fair colored Mexicans, Italians, people from Central America etc are very brown skinned whites cannot get that brown tan without sun tan lotion so Mexicans Latinos are not white and they will tell you in a minute they are Latino.
I think your confusing the term "white" with "Nordic".
I'm curious if these statistics came from actual legal citizenship or if the immigrants are taken into consideration as well.
I have no issues with the growing mexican population, but my concern is that fact that I am a California native, tax paying citizen, with no dependents, going to college to better myself, and am denied all benefits that my country created specifically for supporting its loyal american citizen.
I pay taxes, I work, I am legitimately from this country and am struggling to keep my head above water in this economy. According to the federal government, I don't work enough to receive the benefits I indirectly pay for, the benifits illegal imigrants of all nationality get to use when they have children.
Referendum; once was loyal american citizen.
F this country I'm moving to Europe.
Jo- I understand your issue as it is very similar to Florida, and this site is off by about 10 million in Florida alone. I do have very bad news for you as far as Europe goes, please do your research because Europe, the entire Europe is now in shambles because of the same thing exact thing only different cultures. The first country to go was Greece, then Sweden and the UK and down the list. 48% of UK residents want to leave. chaoticness.com/will-civil-war-b…
This is not about racism, this is about no assimilation. I understand the sentiment of many that say, we are all immigrants ect ect, but those that never lived in the 3rd world will never understand how the cultures differ. We are in trouble now and each year gets worse.
We are all Americans. Being American is not about race or ancestry. It is something that dwells in our hearts. It is something that draws people from all corners of the earth. It is the hope of freedom. This is what unites us. We are not united by race but by spirit. We are the United States of America. All that live in this nation are our brothers and sisters and our neighbors and our fellow countrymen without exception. We must live together. We must laugh together. We must mourn together. The color of skin and the accent of a voice are such petty things to use as tools of exclusion. Is your blood red? Is your heart filled with longing for peace, love, and joy? You are like me!
Yeah sure. Except Americans don't boo the American flag and the National anthem like was done in L.A. a while back. Latinos notoriously have more babies than they can afford and expect the taxpayer to pay for them. It's the same formula in EVERY Central and South American country. Imploded economically by people continuing to have kids they can't afford. Don't think it will happen in the US? It already is. 1 out of every 2 Latino children in the US in on Medicaid. HALF of all births are paid by Medicaid. Who do you think is going to pay to raise that child? The parents? If you want to see where the US is headed economically, just look at any Central of South American country. A two class system full of corruption, gangs and mass slums.
I've live in Europe and I have lived in South America and I'm not aware of any country in South America that has a similar welfare system as the States.
If you are referring to the recent soccer match, they were Mexican-Americans who booed which does make up for the whole Hispanic population.
According to the department of Commerce 15.7% of Hispanics are recipients of welfare while 38.8 are whites.
By the way, illegal children do not get a free education or did you think the landlord did not prorate school tax into their rent?
I wonder where you got your information.
I agree with you 100%
Yes, but La kids population is dropping while Houston and Dallas kids populations are increasing and both Houston and Dallas have been known to also have high Hispanic immigrant populations. a County US Census 23.2 undser 18 and under and Houston.Harris County about 27.7 under the age of 18 and under. Latin Immigration increasing in Harris County Texass and deceasing in LA County from birth rate stats.
Mike agree with you 100%
Not for long. Asians will surpass everyone. Here in San Gabriel there are birth hotels that's cater to Asians because of the one child rule in china. Google it. Also not illegal
Rick, one thing you don't understand is that these Chinese are upper class and care about the education and well being of their kids. The today's reality in China is that most young people cannot afford to raise more kids, unlike in US, the government or society will take the responsibility for raising the kids.
The reason for the Hispanic population jump is because the census does not require legal documentation for their count to be valid. The illegal individuals from a foreign country are given all that I have worked my whole life to build for free. Welfare,Wic,Food stamps…Yes FOOD STAMPS, Cal Fresh really?,section 8 compensation to supplement rent, Free health insurance, free breakfast and lunch in school, an incentive to have children they can't afford as free benifits increase. The Democrats have to pay people to get votes with freebies as they have no logical ideas ,everything is a giveaway. This has become such a huge problem that the republicans have to subvert their own platform and bow to the ever increasing minority and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FELONS . When the money runs out,and it will. inner city riots will ensue because some families have been on the freebie train for generations and think they entitled and everything should be free… The tipping point is just around the corner.
NO Kelly The CONSTITUTION requires an enumeration of all residents. Even though there are undocumented people in congressional Districts that are not citizens, they are counted and included in the maximum number of people in that district. So ALL people are represented in the district
you work for that?
I am a native Los Angeleno, my Naturalized U.S. Citizen wife is from Peru and our daughter is now a 5th generation Californian. My Spanish is good and my wife has helped me to improve it with her Castellano-influenced New World dialect. We eat mainly beans, rice, vegetables at home (and break down for Pizza sometimes. My European background was mainly Black Irish and L.A. is a lot like Spain so in some I am really Hispanic now.
It is only only logical that the so-called "White" culture, or "Anglo" culture will eventually disappear in America and in Texas. Why? It is obvious: all cultures that exclude vanish, while all cultures that include grow. Now, the cultural term "White" or "Anglo" excludes any not considered "Anglo", thus excluding those considered Black, Mulatto, Indian, Asian, Hispanic, etc. In contrast, the cultural tern "Hispanic" includes anyone deemed Hispanic by culture, ancestry or even just the family name, whether they are White, Black, Mulatto, Mestizo, or whatever. It is only a logical result.
I didn't realize this was a competition. If domination is your goal, there are 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion Indians who couldn't care less about this "milestone".
"Anglo" culture or the English language will never vanish in America or in the world. There are 1.2 billion Indians and in the next 10 years or so, India will have the largest population. What's the language that unites India? ENGLISH!! The USA has a large and successful Indian population and that population is bound to grow. Most Blacks and
Asians in the USA speak English and guess what? ASIANS ARE THE FASTEST GROWING ETHNIC GROUP IN AMERICA, NOT LATINOS/HISPANICS
Look at the demographics it's not Asians it's hispanics
As an American the first time I heard someone referred to as a Mulatto, the person who bothered to make the distinction was Guatemalan. I had no idea what Mulatto meant. And I am white! Also, Black Americans do not speak two languages. They only speak English in America, so English is here to stay.
That's right I am a black native born california
Also, not only am I a white Anglo American, but my cousins are half-Black Americans and my other cousins are half Chinese… You are mistaken about Americans excluding other Americans based on their race.
Pepemagno you are incorrect about when Anglo is used. Not all White people are Anglo. Italian white people are not Anglos. Anglo is Anglo Saxon, which is not Italian, not Romanian, not Greek, not Bulgarian, not Armenian, not Russian.
Not all White people are Anglos, however Anglos are always White.
Your definition of Hispanic is akin to our definition of American. All Americans are one of us, no matter their race. All other nationalities are not Americans.
As an Ethnic group yes. Hispanic has surpassed Whites in California, but racially no. There are Hispanics of entirely European Origins
Most Latinos are of Native American and European descent. Mexicans, of which make up 66% of the American-Hispanic populace are overwhelmingly Mestizo, with a significant minority of purely Native American people, and a very small minority of purely European descendants. Whites only predominate in Argentina and Cuba.
Yet, when I watch television programs from Latin America, such as "telenovelas," most of the people I see look very "white" or "European."
That's because those are the only people they will hire. Pretty much all cultures from Latino to Asian….the fair skinned people are the most admired. So that's who ends up on the TV.
America is not like that anymore. We welcome diversity. The same can not be said about Mexico and the rest of Central America.
American isn't like that anymore?
BWAHAHAHA. Okay. if you say
Looking white and being genetically white are two different things. I'm black and have mixed ancestry, as do most black Americans.That is why we come in a variety of skin colors, hair textures, hair colors, eye colors, facial features, and body structures.We are the products of MGM (Multi-Generational Miscengination).
Not for long once the dream act is gone so are the Latinos from Texas and Mexico. Isn't this the real reason why they are here because of this benefit and they know california business men will hire them in a heart beat because of cheap labor.
Americans are any and every race imaginable in an infinitely varied admixture of race, ethnicity and ancestral origin. What defines us is our culture. American culture is what makes us American. Fixating on white is something most White Americans do not do. Most White Americans are actually mixed with so many things, including Native American, Black and Asian, that we don't even know what we are anymore.
Oh, how cute. The white person doesn't realize his unearned privilege.
How quaint. And sadly typical!
Mexico is about 10% White…
Not for long once the dream act is gone so are the Latinos from Texas and Mexico. Isn't this the real reason why they are here because of this benefit and they know california business men will hire them in a heart beat because of cheap labor.
I am a contractor/developer and pay very well and when I am hurting for for back breaking labor they are right there and I hire them because they work ! I also spent 9 months in New Orleans and we had some good paying construction jobs that were hard to feel half of the time . The whole rebuild of New Orleans couldn't have been done without these workers from south of the Border !

It is well known that smokers damage their health by directly inhaling cigarette smoke. Now, research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Environmental Health has shown that they are at additional risk from breathing environmental tobacco smoke, contrary to the prevailing assumption that such risks would be negligible in comparison to those incurred by actually smoking.
Maria Teresa Piccardo worked with a team of researchers from the National cancer Research Institute, Genoa, Italy, to study the exposure of newsagents in the city to harmful cigarette smoke. She said, "Newsagents were chosen because they work alone in small newsstands, meaning that any tobacco smoke in the air they breathe is strictly correlated to the number of cigarettes smoked by that newsagent. We studied the contribution environmental tobacco smoke made to carcinogen exposure in 15 active smokers."
The researchers found that environmental tobacco smoke may have a significant impact on smokers' health. For someone who smokes 14 cigarettes a day, their own second hand smoke resulted in exposure the equivalent of smoking an extra 2.6 cigarettes. According to Piccardo, "Both active and passive smoking contributions should always be considered in studies about health of active smokers."

Whitney Houston
"I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow.""Greatest Love of All"
When Whitney Houston launched, her double threat of gospel-trained megavoice and runway-ready beauty was a music-fashion combo the likes of which we'd never seen. Whether you fell for her as the miniskirted, carefree 23-year-old who wanted to "dance with somebody"; the national treasure in a humble tracksuit singing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl; the effervescent personality captured in this shoot, which ran in ELLE in 1997; the diva outfitted by Dolce & Gabbana for her My Love Is Your Love world tour; or the empowered, leather-clad survivor who told us "It's Not Right but It's Okay," she was always unforgettable. Houston may have been able to hit notes most of us never will, but she was, indeed, every woman.Seth Plattner

This will be the former Charlton forward's second spell with the Bantams, having previously played for the Valley Parade club between 2004 and 2008.

"It will be good for the lads to see a fresh face around the training ground. Andy will bring a lot to the squad and help support the current strikers we have here already."

Have you been trying to install some 3rd-party themes for Windows 7, but you never figured where that themes folder is?
It's one of the most important folders when it comes to customizing your desktop.
2 Theme Folders, 1 purpose
You can find the themes folder(s) at:
Let's take a closer look at the location of your themes. As you might have noticed the folder contains subfolders. What are they for? Well, a Windows 7 theme might have more than just one desktop wallpaper, so Windows will automatically create a folder "DesktopBackground" in every theme folder with 2+ Wallpapers:
Let's further assume you might want to install the Microsoft Ferrari Theme:
If you want to install it manually, you could simply put this theme into the theme folder and it would magically appear inside the personalization control panel!
Installing unsigned 3rd-party themes
In order to install 3rd-party themes you will need to know the location of another theme folder.
Basically every 3rd-party theme should be copied here. Let's assume you might want to install one of the Windows 8 Themes for Windows 7, then you would have to copy the content of the folder "Themes" (see example below) into the folder C:\Windows\Resources\Theme. Of course, this will usually be explained in the readme as well!
Oliver is the founder and lead editor of this site. He is interested in finding new ways to break Windows, find common errors and help others to fix them. Aside from that, he loves to fully customize systems with Rainmeter and Dreamscene, find out more about ancient civilizations like the Chachapoya, sharpen his digital photography skills and create software with a small group of selected developers.

GALLIANO UPDATE: John Galliano's legal problems continue to mount. The designer, who is to stand trial in Paris on a charge of public insult, will have legal action taken against him today by his former lawyer, Stéphane Zerbib. Zerbib was recently dismissed following the alleged discovery of irregularities in respect to his firm's administration of Galliano's financial affairs over a number of years. Reached by phone on Sunday, Zerbib confirmed that he and his lawyer, Emma Lapijower, will today file a charge of defamation against Galliano, among other complaints. Galliano was recently dismissed from Dior and his namesake house in the wake of charges that he hurled anti-Semitic and racial slurs at three people during altercations at a Paris bar, and after an explosive video whirled through cyberspace depicting Galliano saying, in a slurred voice, "I love Hitler." Paris' High Court is expected on Thursday to set a date for Galliano's trial.

Other brands avoid upsetting Mother Nature by growing their own greens. To make Le Soin Noira weirdly chic black cream that looks like something Alice Cooper might use, but magically turns clear on contact with skinGivenchy built a set of 1,000-liter algae tanks that house Skeletonema costatum, a microscopic blackish algae that happens to be packed with essential fatty acids. Likewise, Aveda raises two types of algae for its plant-based Green Science range. "Skin can absorb some of algae's nutrients," asserts Cindy Angerhofer, PhD, the company's director of botanical research. "The green microalgae we use is rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which have been shown to enhance collagen production."
Still, even the most potent, algae-fueled wrinkle-reducer doesn't tap into the ocean's more spiritual benefits. Nikky Kinnaird, empress of the SpaceNK niche beauty boutiques, launched her own seaweed line after spending five days in the mother of all sea-spots: Saint-Malo in Brittany, France, where the tides of the Atlantic meet the English Channel, creating optimal seaweed conditionssome 1,200 species of the stuff in 400 square miles. Generations of Gauls have been dispatched to Brittany for thalassotherapy, "water cures" that originated here in the nineteenth century, in which subjects are caressed and/or pummeled with every ocean-derived unguent imaginable: mud, sand, salt, flora, and, of course, the water itself. (Proof that the French really are more highly evolved: The government actually pays for citizens to take "the cure" as needed.) After a steady deluge of seawater dunks, blitz showers, compresses, and massages, Kinnaird's skin wasquelle surprisebrighter and clearer. "I had a spring in my step," she says, "and I was blown away by the powers of seaweed. With 50 times more minerals than regular seawater, it's supercharged."
Trust the Japanese, a historically water-obsessed culture (group bathing in local onsen, or hot springs, is still one of the country's most essential social traditions), to one-up the French. An hour's flight from Tokyo, plus a winding, two-hour drive to Japan's ultraremote Cape Muroto, brings you to Utoco Deep Sea Therapy Center & Hotel. This futuristically all-white retreat owned by Hiroshi Uemura, the son of cosmetics legend Shu, takes thalassotherapy to new depthsliterallyby soaking sojourners in deep-sea water.
Deep-sea is not your basic H2O. Pumped off the shores of Japan and Hawaii from depths of 2,000 to 3,000 feet, the water is said to have migrated slowly from the Arctic; it's unspoiled by pesky human activities and, due to the limited sunlight at such extreme depths, even by photosynthesis. Deep-sea is also said to be up to 30 times more mineral-rich than surface water, with heavy doses of manganese and copper and trace minerals such as magnesium, silicon, selenium, copper, zinc, and calcium. And, while it may sound like the emperor's new ingredientwater, eh?deep-sea has become Hawaii's biggest foreign export; the state pumps out 37 million dollars' worth per year (in Japan, it goes for $5 a bottle).
Believers say deep-sea's mineral content is similar to that of the human body's, allowing it to penetrate cell membranes easily for maximum hydration. Shu Uemura was the first to beauty-fy the stuff; its Depsea Water Line centers around eight rainbow-hued herbal toners that contain almost 100 percent deep-sea water. Estée Lauder's Re-Nutriv Re-Creation Day Creme SPF 15 and Night Creme (a staggering $900 for the set) are based on Hawaiian deep-sea, plus a blend of 74 trace minerals unearthed in the islands off Okinawa.
As for Utoco's water world, the goal there is complete immersion, inside and out, according to an ELLE editor who made the trip. "Deep-sea is heavy, almost greasyjust different from normal water," she says. After a few days of property-wide, high-tech humidifiers, steam rooms, bottled waters (offered in high or low mineral concentrations), hot tubs, and even marine- flavored toothpaste, her skepticism faded (along with her cortisone-resistant psoriasis patches, which were visibly reduced). "Plus, the location was amazing," she raves. "My husband said it was straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but without the evil computerjust a crazy massage jet."

'An Idiot Abroad' Visits Rio During Carnival and Predictably Dislikes the Noise
This week's episode of An Idiot Abroad landed Karl Pilkington in Rio during Carnival to take in the wonder that is Christ The Redeemer, as well as a bit of the local culture.
Compared to previous episodes, Brazil was predictable, and stereotypical. Instead of stepping off the beaten path, Karl got waxed and shopped for a Speedo before being forced to spend time at gay and nude beaches. No surprises there.

Where to Samba in Rio de Janeiro
If you're Brazilian, or, a Cariocaphile (a Rio lover) then you've already started the countdown for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Back in October, we were down in the "Marvelous City" and right smack in the middle of Copacabana Beach with the rest of Rio for the world announcement. Don't worry, our writer Shira Levine cased the joint to check things out for those of you considering getting your Olympic Games on in, uhhh six and half years. Questions or suggestions? Let us know.
In Rio you can samba anywhere. (The clubs, the beach, your mom's house.) Here are a few places we shook it Carioca style. (Save the classy fist-pumping Jersey Shore-style samba for stateside Mardi Gras celebrations.)
Off-season (as in not during the February month of Carnival)is a much tamer and less expensive way to to channel your inner Carmen Miranda. While it might take two nights of sweaty samba dancing for non-Cariocas to catch onto the double time quick steps, once you nail it you'll be shaking your moneymaker as if Jesus Christ the Redeemer himself was en route from Corcovado Mountain for the second coming. (Our first observation of the samba was that it looked like someone desperately needing to use the bathroom.)

It's Summer Somewhere: Bahia, Brazil
The most popular time to visit Brazil is for Carnival, the annual debauch-fest preceding Lent, which starts February 6. (The parties rage from February 2 to 5.) But do you really want to compete with all those crowds for a view of a few feathers and spangles? If you're looking for a last-minute getaway, travel around the crowds and consider a smaller city instead of Brazil's big two.
A trip to Salvador da Bahia, in the northeastern part of the country, will expose you to the glories of Brazilian culture in a more laid-back setting. With a package deal, you could learn the samba and Brazilian cooking or kick ass with capoeira classes and still have time to visit the beach. That way, you'll be ready to perform in next year's Carnival parade.

Carnaval de Binche
With Mardi Gras/Carnival here, it's the perfect time to figure out what parties to hit this time next year. On Forbes' list of the World's 12 Biggest Parties, the biggies are all represented, but one that was new to us was the Carnival in Binche, 40 miles from Brussels. Not so much with the naked flesh at this medieval celebration, but there are "roving Mam'selles" --men in drag -- and thousands of oranges being hurled through the air. Throw in the possibility of lots of good, good beer, and you've got yourself a party, cher.

Brazil Rolls Out the Latex for Carnival
During Carnival, which starts on the 25th, Brazil's government plans to give away 25 million condoms. Perhaps that should be "a whopping 25 million condoms." (Or maybe not -- there are about 140 million adults in Brazil, and that's not even counting all the randy tourists.)

I love most of giada's recipes but I have to say that this one is wayyyyy off on the heat factor. It's sooooo darn hot ... And I like heat/spicy ... That I had to eat just the squid and any thing large and not the broth. Way too hot.
Cut the teaspoon of red pepper flakes down to 1/4 tsp and I think this recipe will give you sooo much better punch!!!!
