Do journals and tumblr blogs; anything to get the Parlé name out there and appealing to more people. The more people we get; the more likely this will happen.3) Although we're not ke
Stupid Maple SyrupI was quite happy being asleep. But no, some blood Canadian thought it would be best to phone me. Not to mention phone me while impersonating me. twinfools is mental, I would like it to be known.And what's worse? There's three of them in total, not just one, zooming down the road towards the house right now.I told Kelly to take them back to the airport and leave them where she found them. She wouldn't listen to me.

Never thought I'd find love...When I was younger, and even in my late teens, I could never hold down a relationship. It was hard enough being secretly gay and trying to find a nice girl. I went from partner to partner, and I was such a coward that I couldn't even break up with them but simply vanished from their lives without a word. Then I found an Axel cosplayer on the internet. She was better than me and I knew it but I tried my hardest to compete with her. We started sending messages back and forth to one another about Kingdom Hearts cosplay and she asked if I wanted to join. I agreed.I've always had a passion for movie making and so I asked if she'd like to film an AkuDemy video together. When we met up in London, I didn't have a clue where to go, since I was new to travelling around the capital. Finally, she came into sight and she was a thousand times more beautiful in person than in her photos.I instantly felt a need to be near her.Throughout the day, I stroked her arm and planted playful kisses on her c

Devious Journal EntryI just suffered shock at advice I saw being given to a convention goer of how to keep her energy levels up while at a convention...- Hold soda in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing it, as your mouth absorbs the sugars quicker- Drink OJ with sugar added to it- Honey sticksBasically, the advice given was "SUGAR, AND LOTS OF IT!"God.I don't know what people are taught about health in the USA, but clearly it's VERY different to the UK. People, PLEASE don't live on sugar at a convention! Not only is it bad for your teeth, but bad for your health, and it's NOT the best source of energy there is!Eating regularly and healthily, especially wholemeals, will provide you with a much healthier and long-lasting source of energy. Sure, you may get a brief rush from a Red Bull, but you'll have a crash as well. I know none of us take the best care of ourselves at cons, but at least TRY to get in a decent breakfast, lunch and dinner. And drink plenty of water!!And definitely don't ad
Aang for a Cure: FDP Charity FundraiserHello everyone!I've been thinking for the last month or so about FDP's next charity event. It's been a while since Nova's Pray for Japan campaign (relief for tsunami victims) and I figured that it might be time for another project.I've been talking for years about shaving my head to cosplay Aang. He's my favourite character in The Last Airbender, and although I've cosplayed him before that was a while ago (aka I'm not satisfied with that costume XD). To kick my ass into gear to do this, I've decided to shave my head for cancer research. Shaving off hair for cancer fundraisers is a pretty common thing to do, but this time there's a twist when you make a donation of any size to any cancer society (I've provided links to some major ones, but feel free to donate to any local organizations or organizations in your country that I may have missed!) reply to this message and include 1) Where you made a donation to 2) Who you want to shave Aang's head: Sokka, Zuko, Azula, Katara or Toph

Secrets On How ToAlright I guess I'm gonna make another rant, and this one's been bugging me for the longest time. And I'm going to be as BLUNT as I will be and not sugar coat anything I'm about to say.Often do I hear things like: "what custom brushes do you use""how do you achieve this blur/ focus effect""how did you get the colors to go this way and that""what technique or computer program did you use"What I rarely get asked for is:"What did you study to be more efficient at drawing.""What is an efficient way to study how to render certain types of materials""How do you practice proper lighting when painting?"and etc...Guys I'm just gonna say it now, there's no shortcut to art. I work primarily in digital mediums now but I do have a solid foundation in traditional mediums. I didn't simply go out and buy a $400 tablet and instantly got to where I am today. I use custom brushes and special effects in my pieces, but they only take up less than 3% of the overall work. There's sti

ST. ALBANS The St. Albans police department says a homeless man was found dead after fire destroyed a small hut on the edge of the Vermont city.
An autopsy is being conducted on the body of 54-year-old Richard Poquette to determine the cause of death, but police say the body had severe burns when it was found late Tuesday afternoon and indications are it was an accidental fire death, which may have been started by a burning candle.
Police were called to a wooded area, about 100 yards from North Main Street, at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday after a caller reported finding a body. Poquettes body was found outside the hut, which had been destroyed by fire and was still smoldering.MORE IN Vermont NewsISLAND POND Two large maple syrup producers are setting up operations in the Northeast Kingdom...

This article is about the demographic features of Argentina, including population density, ethnicity, economic status and other aspects of the population.
In the 2001 census [INDEC], Argentina had a population of 36,260,130 inhabitants, and preliminary results from the 2010 census [INDEC] census were of 40,091,359 inhabitants.[4][5] Argentina ranks third in South America in total population and 33rd globally. Population density is of 15 persons per square kilometer of land area, well below the world average of 50 persons. The population growth rate in 2008 was estimated to be 0.92% annually, with a birth rate of 16.32 live births per 1,000 inhabitants and a mortality rate of 7.54 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants.
The proportion of people under 15, at 24.6%, is somewhat below the world average (28%), and the cohort of people 65 and older is relatively high, at 10.8%. The percentage of senior citizens in Argentina has long been second only to Uruguay in Latin America and well above the world average, which is currently 7%.
Argentina's population has long had one of Latin America's lowest birth rates and population growth rates (recently, about 1% a year), but it enjoys a comparatively low infant mortality rate. The median age is approximately 30 years and life expectancy at birth is of 76 years. According to an official cultural consumption survey conducted in 2006, 42.3% of Argentines speak English (though only 15.4% of those claimed to have a high level of English comprehension).[6]
Contents |
As with other areas of new settlement such as Canada, Australia, and the United States, Argentina is considered a country of immigrants.[7] Most Argentines are descended from colonial-era settlers and of the 19th and 20th century immigrants from Europe. An estimated 8% of the population is Mestizo, and a further 4% of Argentines are of Arab or Asian heritage.[3] In the last national census, based on self-identification, 600,000 Argentines (1.6% of the population) declared to be Amerindians[8] Most of the 6.2 million European immigrants arriving between 1850 and 1950, regardless of origin, settled in several regions of the country. Due to this large-scale European immigration, Argentina's population more than doubled and consecuently increased the national population. Argentina was second only to the United States in the number of European immigrants received.[9]
The majority of these European immigrants came from Italy, Spain, Germany, Wales, Poland, Croatia, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Norway and several other regions. Italian population in Argentina arrived mainly from the northern Italian regions varying between Piedmont, Veneto and Lombardy, later from Campania and Calabria;[10] Many Argentines have the gentilic of an Italian city, place, street or occupation of the immigrant as last name, many of them were not necessarily born Italians, but once they did the roles of immigration in Italy the name usually changed. Spanish immigrants were mainly Galicians and Basques.[11][12]
Millions of immigrants also came from France (notably Béarn and the Northern Basque Country), Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Russia and the United Kingdom.[13] The Welsh settlement in Patagonia, known as Y Wladfa, began in 1865; mainly along the coast of Chubut Province. In addition to the main colony in Chubut, a smaller colony was set up in Santa Fe and another group settled at Coronel Suárez, southern Buenos Aires Province.[14] Of the 50,000 Patagonians of Welsh descent, about 5,000 are Welsh speakers.[15] The community is centered around Gaiman, Trelew and Trevelin.[16]
Argentines of Croatian descent number over 250,000. History At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there were 133 settlements, with some 120,000 Croats in Argentina, for the most part hailing from the coastal regions of Dalmatia and the Croatian Littoral, who were among the first European immigrants to settle in the Argentine pampas. The pioneers from the island of Hvar were followed by emigrants from other parts of Dalmatia and the other historic Croatian lands, mostly the present-day Republic of Croatia. The most successful of all the Croats in Argentina was also almost the first to arrive: Nikola Mihanović came to Montevideo, Uruguay in 1867, and, having settled in Buenos Aires, Mihanović owned 350 vessels of one kind or another by 1909, including 82 steamers. By 1918, he employed 5,000 people, mostly from his native Dalmatia Mihanović by himself was thus a major factor in building up a Croat community which remains primarily Dalmatian to this day.
The second wave of Croat immigration was far more numerous, totalling 15,000 by 1939. Mostly peasants, these immigrants fanned out to work the land in Buenos Aires province, Santa Fe, Chaco, and Patagonia. This wave was accompanied by a numerous clergy to attend their spiritual needs, especially Franciscans.
If the first two waves had been primarily economic, the third wave after the Second World War was eminently political. Some 20,000 Croatian political refugees came to Argentina, and most became construction workers on Peron's public works projects until they started to pick up some Spanish. Argentina today has the second largest number of Croatian descendants in Latin America after Chile (380,000 Croats) and the third largest one in the world.
The Welsh settlement in Argentina Y Wladfa which began in 1865 and occurred mainly along the coast of Chubut Province in the far southern region of Patagonia. In the 19th and early 20th century the Argentine government encouraged the immigration of Europeans to populate the country outside the Buenos Aires region; between 1856 and 1875 no fewer than 34 settlements of immigrants of various nationalities were established between Santa Fe and Entre Ríos. In addition to the main colony in Chubut, a smaller colony was set up in Santa Fe by 44 Welsh people who left Chubut, and another group settled at Coronel Suárez in southern Buenos Aires Province. In the early 21st century, around 50,000 Patagonians are of Welsh descent. The Welsh-Argentine community is centred around Gaiman, Trelew and Trevelin. From Chubut's own estimate, the number of Welsh speakers is about 1,500, while other estimates put the number at 5,000.
Scandinavians arrived in Argentina around 1909, the first ones settled in the northeastern area and founded a city called Villa Svea (now called Oberá) and was composed of Swedes, Norwegians and Finns. Russians Germans, English and Danish joined them before and after World War I and spread throughout the country.
Estonians arrived mostly after the First World War, between 1925 and 1930. They settled mainly in Tucumán, Santiago del Estero and Santa Cruz.
Volga Germans arrived in Argentina around 1878, ethnic Germans of Russian origin. In the United States they settled in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Arkansas.
Argentina has more than 2 000 000 Volga German descendants. Most of them speak German as second language and keep many traditions to this day.
Around 100,000 British immigrants arrived between 1857 and 1940. The British community founded solid institutions like the British Hospital in Buenos Aires, the Herald newspaper, prestigious bilingual schools and clubs as the Lawn Tennis Club, Hurlingham Club, etc. British immigrants had a strong impact on the taste of Argentine sports through the development of football, polo, hockey, rugby, among others. For its part the British immigrant and educator William C. Morris, founder of schools, had a strong presence in education in Argentina.
Bulgarian immigration in Argentina began intensively in the 1920s and had a second boom period between 1937 and 1938. They came mostly farmers in the northern regions of Bulgaria. Most of them settled in the province of Chaco.
The Czechs were also part of the great immigration of the early 20th century. Most of the descendants of Czechs live in the country in the provinces of Chaco and Mendoza.
German Argentine are one of the largest ethnic groups of Argentina and they had one of the biggest impacts in the Argentine culture.
The influence of German culture has also impacted Argentine cuisine; this trend is especially apparent in the field of desserts. The pastries known as facturas are Germanic in origin: croissants, known as medialunas ("half-moons", from German "Halbmond"), are the most popular of these, and can be found in two varieties: butter- and lard-based. Also German in origin are the "Berliner" known as bolas de Fraile ("friar's balls"), and the rolls called piononos.
The facturas were re-christened with local names given the difficult phonology of German, and usually Argentinized by the addition of a dulce de leche filling. That was also the case of the "Kreppel", which are called torta fritas in Argentina, and were introduced by German immigrants, and similar case with the "Achtzig Schlag" cake, which was translated as Torta Ochenta Golpes in the country. In addition, dishes like chucrut (sauerkraut) and many different kinds of sausage like bratwurst and others have also made it into mainstream Argentine cuisine.
German immigration to Argentina occurred during 5 main time periods: pre–1870, 1870–1914, 1918–1933, 1933–1940 and post–1945. During the first period until 1870.
Argentina and Germany had close ties to each other since the immigration of Germans to Argentina to this day. A flourishing trade developed between Germany and Argentina as early as the German Unification, Germany had a privileged position in the Argentine economy.
Later on, Argentina maintained a strong economic relationship with both Germany and Great Britain and supported them with supplies during World War I.
There are around 50,000 German citizens living in Buenos Aires. Argentina, United States, Canada and Brazil have the biggest number of German descendants in the world.
They arrived in the 19th century and before and after WWII. Their arrival continues over an extended period, from middle to the end of the 19th century until 1960 of the 20th century. Germans, Swiss, Belgian, Luxembourg and French people founded the Colony of Esperanza, Establishing the first agricultural colony and kept founding others.
They emigrated to Argentina in the 19th century, between 1830 and 1875. In 1889 around 500.000 Irish immigrants arrived to the country. They extended throughout the country especially in the provinces of Santa Fe, Entre Rios and Cordoba. In March, they trace their cultural heritage dating back to the Celts, the celebration of the day of its patron, Saint Patrick. The main aim of these celebrations is the social gathering in Buenos Aires Irish pubs. A large group of descendants of Irish families celebrate with traditional Irish dishes. Argentina is one of the five countries with most descendants of Irish people.
Arrived mostly after the First World War, between 1925 and 1930. They settled mainly in Buenos Aires, Berisso, Rosario and Tierra del Fuego.
The first organized immigration from the Netherlands occurred in 1889, when immigrants came from the area of Friesland. That settled in San Juan, Salta, and Chaco. A second immigration took place around 1924. Most of them settled in Mar del Plata, Bahía Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, and Chubut.
Organized Polish immigration began in 1897 and had a decisive influence in the Argentine population. Between the two world wars (1918–1939) large numbers of Poles emigrated, they settled in Llavallol, San Justo, Valentín Alsina, San Martin, Quilmes, and so on. Between 1946 and 1950 around one hundred thousand Poles settled in the country.
There are a significant amount of Russians in Argentina. Most reside in the city of Buenos Aires and northeastern areas. The majority of Russian immigrants arrived between 1880 and 1921. A small wave arrived in the country in the early 1990s.
Ukrainians are estimated to number from 305,000 to 500,000 people (the latter figure making Ukrainians up to 1% of the total Argentine population).[17] Currently, the main concentrations of Ukrainians in Argentina are in the Greater Buenos Aires area, with at least 100,000 people of Ukrainian descent,[18] the province of Misiones (the historical heartland of Ukrainian immigration to Argentina), with at least 55,000 Ukrainians, and the province of Chaco with at least 30,000 Ukrainians.[18][19] In Misiones Province Ukrainians constitute approximately 9% of the province's total population.[18]
According to the provisional data of INDEC's Complementary Survey of Indigenous Peoples (ECPI) 2004 - 2005, 600,000 indigenous persons (about 1.5% of the total population) reside in Argentina. An additional 8% are labeled as Mestizo.[20][not in citation given] The most numerous of these communities are the Mapuches, who live mostly in the south, the Kollas and Wichís, from the northwest, and the Tobas, who live mostly in the northeast.[21]
The officially recognized indigenous population in the country, according to the 2004–05 "Complementary Survey of Indigenous Peoples", stands at approximately 600,000 (around 1.4% of the total population), the most numerous of whom are the Mapuche people.[8]
There are an estimated 180,000 Asian Argentines, 120,000 of which are of Chinese descent.,[22] 32,000 of Japanese descent, 25,000 of Korean descent,[23] and 2,000 of Lao descent.
Asian-Argentines primarily migrated in three waves. The first wave was composed of Japanese immigrants (largely from Okinawa Prefecture), that arrived in small numbers during the early 20th century. The Japanese-Argentine community, located mostly in Pablo Nougués city where a large temple was built, has fully integrated themselves into Argentine society today. Sources believe that 78% of the 4th generation Japanese-Argentine community is of mixed European ancestry, while the 3rd generation is 66% mixed, and a majority of them have non-Japanese ancestors and relatives. The Japanese-Argentine community is less visible due to the intermixing with the European immigrants that have also settled in Argentina like the Italians, Spaniards, German, French, Irish, Polish and Swiss. Today they are one of the most distinguishable communities in Argentina because of their mixed race. Many of their Asian features are almost not visible due to their ancestry. In Buenos Aires, the "Jardín Japonés" (Japanese Garden and Teahouse) has become a traditional landmark of the city since its opening 30 years ago.
The second wave were primarily Korean entrepreneurs, settling in Buenos Aires during the 1960s. Koreans live primarily in the Balvanera and Flores (where the Koreatown is located) districts of Buenos Aires, and are mainly involved in the manufacturing and selling of textiles.
The third wave consisted mostly of Chinese entrepreneurs, who settled in Buenos Aires during the 1990s. Meanwhile, the Chinese live in Chinatown with a Buddhist temple in Belgrano. Many of them are involved with grocery retailing, which has caused Chinese-owned stores to become a common feature of Buenos Aires. Today, Chinese are the fastest growing community, with 100,000 Chinese-born residing in the largest Argentine cities.[24][25][26]
Armenians from Cilicia, Syria and Lebanon escaped from the Ottoman Empire after 1915, between 1917 and 1921, during Russian Civil War, many Armenians from Russia escaped fearing religious prosecution, and lastly, between 1947 and 1954 many Armenians from the Soviet Union, Syria and Lebanon and came to Argentina as a consequence of the Second World War and from Iran because of Iranian Revolution in 1979.
The Armenian community of Argentina has maintained its identity with flying colors thanks to its devotion to the church, school and the family structure.
There are 1,300,000–3,500,000 Argentines whose ancestry traces back to any of various waves of immigrants, largely of Arab cultural and linguistic heritage and/or identity. Arabs are usually considered part of the White population in Argentina. Most Arab Argentines are from either Lebanese or Syrian background, being originating mainly from what is now Lebanon and Syria, but also there are some individuals from the twenty-two countries which comprise the Arab world. The first Arabs settled in Argentina in the 19th century, and most of the Arabs who came during this time period were Sirio-Lebanese Arabs (During that time, Syria and Lebanon were one territory). From 1891 to 1920, 367,348 people of Arabic heritage immigrated into Argentina.[27] When they were first processed in the ports of Argentina, they were classified as Turks because what is modern day Lebanon and Syria was a territory of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Among Arab Argentines, 784,000 are Muslims. The interethnic marriage in the Arab Argentine community, regardless of religious affiliation, is very high; most community members have only one parent who has Arab ethnicity. As a result of this, the Arab community in Argentina shows marked language shift away from Arabic. Only a few speak any Arabic, and such knowledge is often limited to a few basic words. Instead the majority, especially those of younger generations, speak Spanish as a first language.
The origins of Argentina's Jewish community go back to the days of the Spanish Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition, when Jews fleeing persecution settled in what is now Argentina.[28] Many of the Portuguese traders in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata were Jewish, but an organized Jewish community developed only after Argentina gained independence from Spain in 1810. At that time, Jews from France and other parts of Western Europe began to settle in Argentina.[28][29] The current Jewish population is 80% Ashkenazi.[30] Argentina has the largest Jewish population of any country in Latin America.[28]
Today, approximately 250,000 Jews live in Argentina,[30][31][32] down from 310,000 in the early 1960s.[30] Most of Argentina's Jews live in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Rosario.[33] Argentina's Jewish population is the largest Jewish community in Latin America, the third-largest in the Americas (after that of the United States and Canada), and the sixth-largest in the world.[30][31] By law, the Jews are allowed two days of vacation on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the first two and last two days of Passover.[34]
Criticisms of the national census state that data has historically been collected using the category of national origin rather than race in Argentina, leading to undercounting Afro-Argentines and mestizos.[35] The 1887 Buenos Aires census was the last in which blacks were included as a separate category.[36]
According to the INDEC 1,531,940 of the Argentine resident population were born outside Argentina, representing 4.22% of the total Argentine resident population.[38][39]
Illegal immigration has been a recent factor in Argentine demographics. Most illegal immigrants come from Bolivia and Paraguay, countries which border Argentina to the north. Smaller numbers arrive from Peru, Ecuador and Romania.[40] The Argentine government estimates that 750,000 inhabitants lack official documents and has launched a program called Patria Grande ("Greater Homeland")[41] to encourage illegal immigrants to regularize their status; so far over 670,000 applications have been processed under the program.[42]
The official language of Argentina is Spanish, and it is spoken by practically the entire population in several different accents.[citation needed] The most common accent of Castilian in Argentina is Rioplatense Spanish, and it is so named because it evolved in the central areas around the Río de la Plata basin. Its distinctive feature is widespread voseo, the use of the pronoun vos instead of tú for the second person singular. Rioplatense Spanish is as different from the rest Spanish accents as American English is of English from the UK.
Many Argentines also speak other European languages (Italian, Portuguese, French, Welsh, German, Swedish and Croatian, as examples) due to the vast number of immigrants from Europe that came to Argentina.[2]
English language is a required subject in many schools, and there are also many private English-teaching academies and institutions. Young people have become accustomed to English through movies and the Internet, and knowledge of the language is also required in most jobs, so most middle-class children and teenagers now speak, read and/or understand it with various degrees of proficiency. According to an official cultural consumption survey conducted in 2006, 42.3% of Argentines claim to speak some English (though only 15.4% of those claimed to have a high level of English comprehension).[6]
Standard German is spoken by around 500,000[43][44] Argentines of German ancestry, though the number may be as high as 3,800,000 according to some sources.[45] German, is the third or fourth most spoken language in Argentina.
There are sources of around one million Levantine Arabic speakers in Argentina,[43] as a result of immigration from the Middle East, mostly from Syria and Lebanon.
There is a prosperous community of Argentine Welsh-speakers of approximately 25,000[46] in the province of Chubut, in the Patagonia region, who descend from 19th century immigrants.
The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but until 1994 the President and Vice President had to be Catholic.
63% of Argentines said to not belong to organized religion, the Jewish population is about 300,000(around 2% of the popularion). The community numbered about 400,000 after World War II, but the appeal of Israel and economic and cultural pressures at home led many to leave; recent instability in Israel has resulted in a modest reversal of the trend since 2003.[47][48] Muslim Argentines number about 500,000–600,000, or approximately 1.5% of the population; 93% of them are Sunni.[47] Buenos Aires is home to one of the largest mosques in Latin America. A recent study found that approximately 11% of Argentines are non-religious, including those who believe in God, though not religion, agnostics (4%) and atheists (5%). Overall, 24% attended religious services regularly. Protestants were the only group in which a majority regularly attended services.[49]
Argentina is highly urbanized,[2] with the ten largest metropolitan areas accounting for half of the population, and fewer than one in ten living in rural areas. About 3 million people live in Buenos Aires proper, and the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area totals around 13 million, making it one of the largest urban areas in the world.[50] The metropolitan areas of Córdoba and Rosario have around 1.3 million inhabitants each,[50] and six other cities (Mendoza, Tucumán, La Plata, Mar del Plata, Salta and Santa Fe)[50][51] have at least half a million people each.
The population is unequally distributed amongst the provinces, with about 60% living in the Pampa region (21% of the total area), including 15 million people in Buenos Aires Province, and 3 million each in Córdoba Province, Santa Fe Province and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Seven other provinces each have about one million people: Mendoza, Tucumán, Entre Ríos, Salta, Chaco, Corrientes and Misiones. Tucumán is the most densely populated (with 60 inhabitants/km², the only Argentine province more densely populated than the world average), while the southern province of Santa Cruz has less than 1 inhabitant/km².
Most European immigrants settled in the cities which offered jobs, education and other opportunities enabling them to enter the middle class. Many also settled in the growing small towns along the expanding railway system and since the 1930s many rural workers have moved to the big cities.[52] Urban areas reflect the influence of European immigration, and most of the larger ones feature boulevards and diagonal avenues inspired by the redevelopment of Paris. Argentine cities were originally built in a colonial Spanish grid style, centered around a plaza overlooked by a cathedral and important government buildings. Many still retain this general layout, known as a damero, meaning checkerboard, since it is based on a pattern of square blocks. The city of La Plata, designed at the end of the 19th century by Pedro Benoit, combines the checkerboard layout with added diagonal avenues at fixed intervals, and was the first in South America with electric street illumination.[53]

Levi Leipheimer has been around so long, he's one of the few cyclists in the peloton who actually remembers watching the Coors Classic. He has by most estimates visited every city, town and cafe in France during his nine Tours de France.
Yet as he sat in front of a packed news conference, after addressing a throng on Broadway that rivaled a Super Bowl parade, it wasn't clear which thrilled him more. Was it winning Colorado's inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge on Sunday or the crowd that cheered the peloton as it raced around downtown Denver like a lightning bolt of Lycra?
"It's hard to put into words to describe the emotion," Leipheimer said. "When I was 13 years old I watched the Tour de France on television and read magazines about the Coors Classic and the battles between Andy Hampsten and (Greg) LeMond and (Bernard) Hinault on those roads in Colorado.
"Now to be here, 25 years later and experience the size and scope of this race is beyond belief. I wouldn't expect this many people to come out for this race. That's the biggest crowd I've ever seen in the West, and the Tour of California produces enormous crowds. (Sunday) really raised the bar."
Race CEO and co-chairman Shawn Hunter estimated the crowd lining the roads from Golden to the finish in front of the state Capitol building at more than 250,000. It went six to seven deep for a mile to the finish line. That puts the attendance over his prerace estimate of 1 million.
Hunter rode most of the race with USA Cycling president Steve Johnson and Mike Plant, on the board of the International Cycling Union. Both have been in cycling for 35 to 40 years.
"They said it was the largest crowd of any stage in the history of American cycling," Hunter said. "What a great way to cap off the week."
For the cyclists, Denver was merely the cherry atop a delicious Rocky Mountain sundae. From last Monday's start in Colorado Springs to the Capitol steps, cyclists and team directors raved about everything from the logistics to the routes. About the biggest complaint was an alleged trumped-up parking ticket in Aspen.
Carlos Jaramillo, the sports director of the Colombian team, Gobernacion de Antioquia-Indeported Antioquia, raced in the old Coors Classic back in the 1980s. The Pro Challenge wasn't as hard, but it was better in many ways.
"After being away so many years, there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of," Jaramilla said through a translator. "This has been an absolutely phenomenal event. I've been to Giros and Tours and everything else, but this is as good as anything in the world."
Race officials took a big chance putting on a one-week stage race at the same time as the Vuelta a España, one of the three Grand Tours. However, the Pro Challenge attracted the best field in the history of American cycling and, except for Andy Schleck's concern about the altitude, they all sounded as if they'll return.
"It's incredible," said American Tejay Van Garderen, who took third overall. "The crowds, the atmosphere, the competition level, it was just unbelievable. It surpassed everyone's expectations. It's definitely the funnest race I've done. It's a race I look forward to coming back to every year."
Finishes in Steamboat Springs and Denver and Sunday's start in Golden nearly rivaled anything race veterans experienced in France, even when Lance Armstrong raced. Stories about parties on Independence Pass, Swan Mountain and Lookout Mountain may pass down through generations.
"I've never seen crowds as big in any race outside the Tour de France as they were in this race," said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Boulder-based Team Garmin-Cervelo. "Every hilltop, every finish, every start. It's funny. We have a guy from England on our team in this race and he says, 'In the Tour of Britain we also have some fairly good crowds but the people sort of sit and politely watch the race.'
"And here we have men wearing fluorescent green thongs running alongside the riders."

Mar 23, 2011 Q&A with Site Supervisors Comments Off
1) What qualities do you look for in a digger?
I believe the best quality is enthusiasm closely followed by a willingness to learn. An interest in history/archaeology is an advantage as is an inquisitive mind. A sense of humour may come in handy for those days when it is wet and windy on site but these are balanced by the days out in the glorious warm weather of the summer.
2) What items of equipment would you say are essential for a novice to bring along themselves?
At our dig we provide teas, coffee and the occasional cream cake! Personalised kneelers are a good thing for those hours on your knees and a warm woolly hat for the windy days or wide brimmed one for the warm days. A camera for recording your experiences is usually handy. A large bag for all your kit and a waterproof sheet to put it (and yourself) on is also handy.
3) What things should a novice digger say to the site supervisor when first arriving at the dig?
What you would like to derive from a dig and an honest appraisal of experience. No one knows it all and everyone on site is willing to help and show people the ropes, particularly newcomers. Oh, and that you have brought lots of bacon sandwiches!!
4) What things shouldn't a novice digger say to the site supervisor when first arriving at the dig?
That it will all be done my way and I know it all from last week's episode of 'Time Team'. (And I have not brought any bacon sandwiches!!).
And finally:
5) What has been your weirdest/most intriguing/favourite find?
On our current site it seems to be the novice trowelling next to me that makes the exciting find, like the recent polished stone axe, or the perfect flint arrowhead or the large number of roman coins. But each one is equally exciting for the finder.

- Failed Review by Steve
Value Quality Price I've used this stringer for less than a year and until now have been satisfied. Yesterday, however, the upper cap slipped off the nock just as I was about to set the loop. When this happens, the energy in the upper limb flexes it violently upwards. The lower limb still being held by the stringer adds a hefty surge spinning the bow the same direction as the upper limb is going pivoting around your hand. The combined forces could seriously injure a body. Fortunately, I never lean over the stringer when I'm pulling on it, so I only received a glancing blow from the edge of the upper limb - but this still required stitches in the ER. I examined the stringer's upper cap and the rubber seemed to have lost its elasticity - the more I pulled the more elongated it got sliding off the nock. I will try a friction block design for the replacement.

- Snug fit- Durable. Review by Joseph Bateman
Price Value Quality Great stringer. Each end fits snug over tip- easy strings/destrings bow.
(Posted on 2/26/13)
- Particularly Good for Heavier Bows Review by Neil Getz
Value Quality Price Good stringer. The larger cup fits over the lower limb tip and holds the lower loop on. The smaller cup fits over the upper limb tip leaving sufficient room to slide the top loop off its groove and down onto the limb.
For heavier bows ( > 40#) this stringer works much better than the stringers that rely on friction. By attaching at both limb tips (rather than at the lower limb tip and part way down the upper limb) you get much better leverage for flexing the bow.
Note: The LAS description is mistaken. The limb tip cups are a slightly flexible plastic.(Posted on 2/5/13)
- Must Have! Review by Oktay Dehnadi
Value Quality Price Does exactly what more expensive one do. highly recommended, save your limbs big time

Batista Spoke with Tampa Bay Times about his current career status and his relationship with WWE. After the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy, he is taking some time off.
"I'm actually kind of taking a step back right now," Bautista, 45, said in a telephone interview from his recently purchased home in South Tampa. "It's a bit overwhelming for me, you know?"
In regards to the WWE, Batista told Tampa Bay Times:
"I put it aside for now, and that really had a lot to do with my obligations to Marvel," he said. "But it also had to do with the fact that (the WWE and I) weren't seeing eye-to-eye, creatively. The stuff they were doing with story lines just didn't make sense to me. ... I'd love to go back. I'm a professional wrestler at heart and I miss it. But I want to be there and be happy with what I'm doing."

For those with cancer or other chronic illnesses, the local YMCA is ready to help.
Oldham County's YMCA is seeking community members with cancer or chronic disease to participate in their first-ever therapeutic yoga program, which is open to the public, thanks to a grant covering most of the program's costs.
The six-week program will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 28 and will meet on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. at the YMCA in Buckner.
If a fan buys a beverage from a walking vendor at one of eight college bowl games this season, they will be doing business with Rocket Man, the same Louisville area company that serves beverages at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Speedway.
Rocket Man, Inc., based in Oldham County, will manage the walking vendor program at eight college bowl games, beginning with the Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Ballpark on Dec. 22.
Continuing the tradition, the Prospect Area Chamber of Commerce recently presented a large number of toys to Toys For Tots. The toys were donated by PACC members at the chamber's annual Holiday Party, sponsored by Goldberg Simpson and held at Bistro 42. Accepting the toys was J.D. Sparks, Toys For Toys volunteer and Oldham County Magistrate, along with Jennifer Willis, 2015 PACC President and Bruce Corwin, 2014 PACC President.
The Kentucky Association for Economic Development chose a top economic leader in Oldham County as chairperson of its organization.
Deana Epperly Karem, executive director of the Oldham County Chamber and Economic Development, was elected to serve as a chairperson of the KAED in November. The association is made up of Karem's peers from across the state.
"It is an honor to be selected by my associates and to be seen as a leader in the industry," Karem said.
Although the La Grange Food Market has been successful in the few short weeks it's been open on West Jefferson Street, the store's owners can't wait for it to serve warm food early next year.
Yudwinder Singh and his brother-in-law Moe Signh, of Seattle, own the all-purpose convenient store that also has a beer cooler.
"Our favorite part is meeting the new people," Yudwinder Singh said.
A local restaurant is asking for a little help with its annual Christmastime clothes drive.
Steve-O's Italian Restaurant has been the host of the MacKindsey's Mitten Tree for the past several years, collecting hats, gloves, scarves and more before donating them to the Red Cross to give to Oldham County children in need.
But Steve Tingle, the owner of the restaurant, said donations are down from years past, although he's not sure why.
The spotlight will soon shine on 10 of Prospect's finest 'stars' when the Chamber of Commerce hosts a night of dancing and charity.
In its second year, Dancing with the Prospect Stars will follow a successful inaugural year with even more dancers and fundraising.
"It's a lot of fun," Kathy Jacobs, executive director of the Prospect Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC) said. "It's a very intimate, fun, friendly social event."
La Grange's newest attraction opened its doors to the public last week in an attempt to attract new events to CityPlace.
The event center, located on First Street, is made up of two pavilions and the visitor's center, which also houses the Oldham County Chamber and Economic Development offices.
The Rawlings Foundation, which owns CityPlace, held an open house last Thursday to help local and regional companies and organizations see the pavilions staged in various ways to host events.
After launching chemotherapy services in early 2014, Baptist Health La Grange recently completed an expansion of space occupied by the physicians and staff of the CBC Group: Consulting in Blood Disorders and Cancer, a part of Baptist Medical Associates.
The Center, located on the second floor of the Physician Office Building at Baptist Health La Grange, was renovated with patient comfort and staff convenience in mind.

text: Yes, government can stimulate exports from any country without being intrusive in the private economy through a combination of some instruments as fiscal, monetary and credit policy. Besides offer a possibility of improvement in the trade balance by stimulating the improvement of the diplomatic corps for trade relations. Moreover, in view of its accessibility in international interaction can operate as a mediator of meetings, with an intermediary public agency. That is just one idea, but there are more to stimulate the exports in a government perspective. Precisely for this reason there are macroeconomics and public policy.

Posted by RogerTheShrubber on 1/13 at 2:05 am to olemissfan26 It's cool. I am not gay, and don't care if gay folks get married. Figured out a few years ago I had to be consistent with my ideology. I know many folks are terrified the end of the WoD's domestically will be a failure and crazed drug fiends will be robbing people blind, but I think the exact opposite will happen and we will have a much safer society. Druggies can get drugs legal or not legal, we just make the whole process extremely dangerous.. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Patrick O Rly on 1/13 at 8:05 am to goatmilker quote: I'm not even approaching it from a Darwinian stand point. You just have to ask yourself "Why are they illegal?" If it's because the drugs pose a risk to the consumer, that's not really a good reason for it to be outlawed. Like HempHead said, you either own your body or you don't. If it's because the consumer might do harm to others, then it's still not a good reason for it to be illegal, because the harm they MIGHT do is already punishable under law. Drugs laws are really unnecessary and expensive. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by MStant1 on 1/13 at 8:55 am to Patrick O Rly I'm always amused by the mental gymnastics people go through to explain why drugs should be illegal and why alcohol being legal is perfectly fine. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Patrick O Rly on 1/13 at 9:08 am to MStant1 It's become cultural. When you actually sit there and break it down, the argument for drug laws falls apart. People want to be protected, but in actuality drug laws pose more of a danger to the public than the substances they're prohibiting. Reply Back to Top |

With most of my batches, I test a bottle after a week, then again after 2 weeks and by the 3rd week the beer is gone. Well I have an Irish Red Ale that I tested at 1 week and noticed an off taste and smell that seemed to me to be metallic. Reminded me of when grinding or cutting a lot of metal, that taste you get in your mouth. Needless to say, I was concerned, my pot is SS and no other metal comes in contact with my beer. So, at the 2 week mark I tested another and though a little more faint, I could still taste the off taste. I figured the batch was a goner, but I decided to just leave it. Well this past Friday was 3 weeks in the bottle so I grabbed a couple yesterday and put them in the frig. After chilling I popped the top and the beer was great! No off taste at all. So, I guess if you have an off flavor, give it more time.
Töpperwein Brewery
Now there's a surprise. I'm glad you enjoyed the beer.
Time will fix many problems, but some it just makes worse.
Life is to short and the liver can only handle so much, so why waste it on bad beer.
Ah, patience has paid off, Grasshopper!! (another convert... )

Make music the easy way
Magix Music Maker 16 offers a robust, well-laid-out tool for amateur and professional musicians.
If you consider yourself even mildly musical, a good piece of audio production software is a worthy addition to your arsenal. One such tool is Magix's Music Maker, a digital mixing tool with a slick interface and plenty of features for serious musicians. First time users will need to spend considerable time learning the ins and outs of the program, but don't let that stop you; Magix provides plenty of interactive tutorials and online forums for guidance.
This version of Music Maker adds plenty of new tools to an already robust feature set. You can still access preloaded instrument loops as well as pull up BeatBox, the built-in drum machine. The Infobox feature teaches you about music as you're producing it, and Sound Vision reorganizes your sounds into a visual scheme. And there's the option to publish directly to MySpace or YouTube. The program also offers extended sound effects, authentic guitar and amp sounds, and a Microscope Mode for even more detailed editing on the sound wave of objects.
If you've used other music production software that employs looping and sound effects, chances are you'll be able to catch on to Music Maker pretty easily, but there are definitely differences that will take some figuring out. The online tutorials are useful for everyone, not just novice users. You'll definitely want to check those out if you really want to dive into the program for all its worth. Also, if you're itching for more virtual instruments, consider upgrading to the premium version.

Foreign Minister and Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday that the main issues facing Israel's new governing coalition are the Tal Law and the West Bank neighborhood Ulpana.
"These are the two most important tests and I hope that we will learn to get through them in the best way," Lieberman said before a Yisrael Beiteinu meeting at the Knesset.
The Tal Law exempted ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students from mandatory military service and was declared unconstitutional by the High Court in February. It will expire in August, compelling the government to deal with the explosive issue.
Ulpana is a neighborhood in the West Bank settlement Beit El. On Monday, the High Court gave the government 60 days to demolish houses in the neighborhood that were illegally-built on private Palestinian land.
Lieberman said that Ulpana is "not an illegal outpost. The state made a mistake. [Ulpana residents] did not make a mistake, they were sent there. The state made a mistake and it should take responsibility. I see no other way than legislation that will solve the issue."
Also on Wednesday, Labor Party Chairwoman Shelly Yachimovich told her party that she is honored to be becoming the head of the opposition in the Knesset.
"This is an incredibly important role and the first goal of the opposition is to create an alternative government," Yachmovich said. "The so-called opposition of the last three years was a complete farce. Therefore, our responsibility is very great."
A Haaretz-Dialog poll published on Wednesday found that most Israelis believe the Likud-Kadima unity deal reached between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Shaul Mofaz earlier this week was driven by personal and political considerations rather than the national good, and few believe the new 94-MK coalition will carry out the promises its leaders made Tuesday.

LYONS, Colorado (CNN) — The skies have improved over Colorado, allowing some evacuated residents to return to their flood-battered neighborhoods -- only to find there's no house to call home.
In the town of Lyons, flood waters pushed entire houses around like furniture.
"Today is our first day up here since we've been evacuated," Kelly Hunt told CNN. "And I feel like it's worse than I thought it would be. We lost absolutely everything we own."
When the thick mud and water moved through the town Thursday, they lifted her house and moved it several feet.
Throughout Lyons, the streets are dotted with snapped power poles. Rescue workers and the National Guard members outnumber residents, who were forced to evacuate.
The two branches of the St. Vrain Creek bisect this town, and nearly swallowed it whole.
Abe Vasquez tried to step through the living room of his 78-year-old mother's home. His feet slowly sank in the two feet of raw sewage that had pooled there.
"Here's what's left," Vasquez said. "That's her walker. That's the other one."
It took 79 years to build the place, Vasquez said. It took 24 hours for it all to disappear.
"It's gone," he said. "It's hard."
In the community of Longmont, Jeff Larsen considered himself a little more fortunate. His home is damaged. But at least it's still standing.
"It's ruined," Larsen, who returned to Longmont for the first time since Thursday, told CNN affiliate KUSA. "Our basement is gone. It stinks so bad in there, you can barely stand it. "
When the waters rushed in, his wife, Nina, watched as their SUV was whooshed away.
"We watched it float down the road," she said.
Nearly 18,000 homes around the state have been damaged. Across Colorado, eight people are dead. And there are still at least 1,000 more in remote areas yet to be evacuated.
"I think there is still going to be a lot of shock and disbelief," said Matthew Applebaum, the mayor of Boulder. "The amount of destruction, the damage to people's houses, the damage to neighorhoods, the damage to roads, the damage to our much beloved open space -- it's pretty significant and, as I said, it's extraordinarily widespread."
Bad weather kept rescue helicopters grounded much of the weekend. But they took to the skies again Monday.
The air efforts may be the largest such evacuation in the country since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the National Guard said.
Like many, Casey Korbely wants to return home. But pictures from his neighborhood in Boulder County show cars buried in mud, and a huge hole that was once a road.
"The cops and firefighters said it would probably take two to three weeks before then can build a bridge and we can get our vehicles out. "
But Korbely is determined to get back -- by hiking. An uphill climb ...fueled by a Colorado spirit that doesn't give up.
