A long, angry, useless diatribe, often forced upon unsuspecting bystanders and acquaintances who are forced to hear it whether they want to or not. It is a combination of the words "Goddamn" and "Rant".

Grant is a generaly a large man with a very tiny penis and big man boobs. Grants normally like to have sex with big guys with the name of richard. theyalso like to wear hat's that have the bill folded to where both sides are touching. thier voice sounds like a mix of a retarded seal and a 70 year old man.

The eternal douchebag. A mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Archaically the word mome has also been used. The similar terms moron, imbecile, and cretin have all gained specialized meanings in modern times.
Dont be such a Grant, everyone will hate you.

Three men have been detained after leading police on a short chase following a home invasion in Wagener on Monday.
Steven William Rutland, 23, of Lewie Street in Wagener, and Raphale Lamarr Pontoo, 19, of Lawana Drive in Gloverville, both have been charged with second-degree burglary. Glen Smith, 32, of Taylor Acres Lane in Wagener, currently is hospitalized and will likely face charges when he is released.
Rutland and Pontoo remained in the Aiken County detention center Tuesday.
The incident happened just after 2 p.m. Monday at a home on Big Branch Road in Wagener, according to a report by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
The victim told officers he was in bed with his girlfriend in the back bedroom of the home when he heard a loud bang, according to the report. When he went out to investigate, he saw three men inside his home.
The victim reportedly knew Smith and asked him why they were in his home. He began to yell expletives toward the intruders as they fled from the home when the victim told them he was going to get a gun.
Smith allegedly punched the victim in the face when the victim confronted him, according to the report. The victim followed the suspects in their vehicle until police arrived.
Smith was taken to a hospital in Columbia for "possible head injuries" after jumping from the moving truck before the driver stopped for law enforcement, according to the report.
No items were taken from the home.

White: UFC worth 3.5 billion, some say more
Using the oldest trick in the journalists book, I drop into the conversation a figure of $1bn, which was what the New York Times estimated the business was worth a couple of years ago. Is that number still correct?
White chews on a slab of mozzarella taken from his second starter and says nothing at all. Then he whispers, $3.5bn. Some would say more.
I ask how he reached that number and he replies, mysteriously, We have numbers. You know what I mean?
Yet in the US his critics claim growth has stalled, with fewer fans tuning in to watch fights. Two of the biggest champions Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva are not currently fighting.
Ive been listening to people tell me that we were going to fail for 13 years," said White. "The media is full of s---. The company grows bigger every year.
Both those stars are coming back, he insists, and reels off a list of other fighters. And its not just men, women now fight too. Have you heard of Ronda Rousey? he asks.
Shes a rock star, man, he says. The women are different than the men way more emotional. Theyre a lot more catty. Ive been trying to figure out women my whole life and now Im trying to figure them out on a different level.
Though fans love him, they dont do so uncritically. He got a lot of stick last year when Georges St-Pierre, face mashed up and barely making sense after a fight, said on TV that he needed a break. At a press conference, White said the champion couldnt have one. When I ask if he regrets being so unfeeling, he shrugs.
That wasnt about what you thought it was about. Heres the bottom line; Im never going to be the good guy, no matter what I do or what I say. I run a company with 500 of the baddest dudes in the world and I am the boss.
Are bad dudes harder to manage than the norm?
Nah. Theyve got smaller egos than journalists. They are smart guys. And some of them are smarter than me!
I laugh, thinking hes made a self-deprecating joke but then, seeing his expression, stop at once.
Our talk shifts to the future and I ask if the Fertitta brothers might one day sell up.
Maybe, he says, which isnt the answer Id expected. At the end of the day were all young guys. But for now the three of them love working together. Their secret? No ego. People dont believe that about me but Im completely ego-free.
As this is not the popular view of White, I ask him to explain.
Ill tell you this. How many times do you think Ive been offered to write a book? Big money. Three million. One time I sat down and I said, Im going to do it. But I got so f---ing sick of talking about myself, by day two, I was done.

Crystal Marie Jordan of Portsmouth, has been awarded a scholarship from Ohio University in recognition for her academic achievements.
Jordan, a graduate student majoring in nursing, received the Outstanding Graduates in Nursing MSN at a ceremony on April 12 on the university's campus in Athens. Jordan was one of 176 students to be honored by Ohio University's College of Health Sciences and Professions, but one of three to receive the Outstanding Graduates in Nursing MSN.
Jordan graduated from Northwest High School, received her Bachelor's Degree from Shawnee State University and her Masters Degree from OU.
Jordan received the "Outstanding Graduate in Nursing—MSN" from the College of Health Sciences and Professions at Ohio University's 34th Annual Student Awards and Recognition Reception. During this Awards Reception, Ohio University recognized students and faculty for their excellent academic and personal achievements.
"I was told probably a week before that I was going to get it, and I went to the reception," Jordan said. "You know how you get e-mails, well, at first I thought it was fraud, so I talked to the director of my school, and she said, 'yes, you're the only one with a Master's Degree to get the award. I was really shocked. I felt really honored."
Jordan said she is hoping to work in pediatrics at Southern Ohio Medical Center.
"I plan to stay in the area," Jordan said. "I want to work in pediatrics or family practice."
Also honored with that award were Jahnna Lydic (BSN)of Albany, Ohio and Lidiya Slyvka (BSA) of Athens.

Wolaver's Fine Organic Ales, a member of Otter Creek Brewing Company, won gold with their Wolaver's Unfiltered Brown Ale.

We spend a huge deal of time refining recipes, and tweaking materials and processes to produce better beer every day," Mike Gerhart, Otter Creek brewmaster, said in a release announcing the awards.

I've bitten my tongue for far too long. I've let climate-change deniers have their say to avoid stepping on various toes and I can't do it any longer.
Climate change is real. Period.
There, I said it.
It took a vacation to "my" Colorado mountains for a family reunion to open my eyes to how bad things really are.
If you don't believe me or the consensus of real scientists who deal in facts, I have a challenge for you: Take a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and go up to about 9,000 feet. Take in the wonder that is around you for a while and then start looking at things in detail. You will start to notice dead and dying lodge-pole pines; in some places whole mountainsides wiped out.
You will see burn piles where last winter, after snow fell, rangers burned 5,000 piles of beetle-infested and dead trees, according to rangers I spoke with. The burn marks were evident at that altitude and they've already started building piles to burn this winter (when snow's on the ground so as to not spread fire).
Who did I get this from?
- Two different park rangers at two different locations, one as worried as I, the other slightly more optimistic.
- A wildlife biologist who lives there (extended family member to fully disclose).
- I also observed the destruction myself.
One of the rangers told me he started a talk at one of the campgrounds two years ago detailing how climate change is affecting the park.
Today, groups are studying a little mammal, a cousin to the rabbit, called the pika. It's the park's canary-in-the-coal-mine, if you will, a term I used with the ranger. Groups are studying its changing migration patterns and watching the little guys for signs of extinction. It will go first, the ranger said.
There wasn't enough cold last year to kill the beetles that are eating the trees from the inside out. Some always survive and kill a few trees. But the trees need at least a week of below 20 degree weather in winter to kill off the bulk of the beetles. That didn't happen.
Can I say that again? There weren't 7 consecutive days of high temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit in that part of the Colorado mountains last winter. That's stunning. I remember that kind of cold in Denver, much less the mountains.
Then there are the fires raging all across the parched west, including the one west of Fort Collins, about 50 miles or so as the crow flies from the northern edge of the park. All those dead trees are tinder for a spark; fuel for fires started by nature or humans and quickly spread by winds that won't quit.
Or check out Africa, where parched is taking on a whole new meaning. Or the arctic, where polar bears can't find enough ice to survive.
How much observable data do you need?
Study what's really happening, then come back and tell me climate change isn't real with a straight face.
And just for fun, watch this clip of physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Real Time with Bill Maher cleaning the clock of climate denier and former GM chairman Bob Lutz using changing migration patterns as his example.
Closer to home, Kentucky didn't have much of a winter last year. School actually got out on time, which didn't happened in three prior years that I've paid attention because of a school-age child. And many of the "snow days" in those years weren't because of snow, they were because of ice. We get ice because it doesn't get and stay cold enough to snow.
We might have an extreme winter this year, Colorado might have little winter again, or the reverse might be true or some combination of severe storms, or drought, too much cold or not enough. Remember the deadly and destructive March 2 tornadoes? Awful early in the year, don't you think?
That's what climate change is: Long-term it means the planet is warming, but short-term, it means changing weather patterns, and more extreme and severe weather (droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc.).
There's no more "normal."
We better get used to it since politically no one seems willing to stand up to the deniers.

|Celebrate 30 Year's of Exhibitions
Mrs. Hurd's most recent acquisitions for the Payne Gallery are a group of six paintings including four Philadelphia Ten artists, one of her personal favorites W. E. Schofield, and an artist that had so far eluded us, George Sotter. With the recent acquisition of Sotter's, Ottsville House, we now round out Moravian College's permanent collection. With the addition of this collection Moravian College achieves several milestone benchmarks for the Payne Gallery's 30th Anniversary.
Moravian's Collection is the second largest Pennsylvania Impressionist collection in the county rivaled by only the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown. Moravian also now has the largest collection of female Pennsylvania impressionists known as the Philadelphia Ten. And finally, Moravian's collection by the artist Walter Schofield is the largest and most comprehensive collection in the country.
|Alumni Photo Show - Work by Edward Leskin & Jane Noel
Edward A. Leskin, Images from Home and Abroad: A 24-Year Photographic Journey: Leskin was born in Allentown, PA, in 1965. A lifelong student of politics and fine arts, Leskin double-majored in Political Science and Studio Art at Moravian (Class of 1988). During his last year, he acquired an intense interest in photography. He attended Pratt Institute, where he received an MFA (Photography) in 1991.
Artis'ts statement: My work mostly addresses issues bigger than the individual. Subjects over the years include the rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel and its impact on the community, the impact and legacyof the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington D.C., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the politics and social conditions in Russia, as well as many other issue of human significance. The camera offers an opportunity to express complex interpretations of real time events and issue that affect us all in some way. It is the act of pure creation from the soul motivated by events and themes that form hard time on many individuals.
Jane S. Noel, Tag Sale and Other Stories: The home is an archive of memories. But each family member has their own catalog. What happens when the family home is disbanded and the archive is no longer intact? In December, Noel's mother moved from the home where she had lived for 47 years. It was her task to clear what remained, a job most often done alone.
Artist's statement: I had the honor of studying Photography with Judith Joy Ross and graduated from Moravian in 1978. I continued my studies earning an M.A. from George Washington University and an M.F.A. from Vermont College of Fine Art. I primarily investigate the concepts of identity, gender, and contemporary issues. My medium of choice is photography but I am familiar with a variety of tools and will use whatever the project requires to complete the work. In my installation and community work, I try to create a context for interaction.

Rated 4 out of 5�by BebeDiva Love it! Only issue is I have to hem it so what's new at 5/3''? Will have it professionally done however because of the band. It comes about two inches below my knee and not a flattering length for a petite. If you are taller no issues I would think. Fits true to size, hugs but just right, the fit is exactly as pictured except for the length. Only reason I gave it a 4 was the hemming. May 11, 2014

text: WABACO — Ten decades, 36,500 days, or 5,200 weeks – any way you want to say it, Wabaco Pentecostal Church has been around for a long time. For its first few years of existence, however, the church didn't even have a pastor. It took seven years before a full-time pastor would address the congregation, which actually first met in Hazard's Backwoods in 1913.�Now, 100 years later, Rev. Buddy Turner, who has led the congregation at Wabaco since 1982, is preparing for the church's centennial celebration this week.�"We're hoping a lot of people are going to come," Turner said about this week's celebration, adding he knows a few of the church's former pastors will be in attendance.�Just like most small town churches, Wabaco Pentecostal Church came from humble beginnings. Just a short time after the church formed, it moved to the Allais community near where the vocational school is currently located. A short time after that, the congregation moved again, this time just across the North Fork of the Kentucky River to its present location in Wabaco, where the church also took its present name. By 1920, Rev. Willie Rison and Rev. Brick Meyers served as the church's first pastors.�Though the church has remained active in Hazard, by no means has the local community been its sole focus. Thousands of miles away, only days after Communism fell in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s, Turner found himself in Russia, one of a several missionaries looking to make inroads in the country. It wasn't the best of situations, he remembered. Martial law was still in place as they made their way to the Ural Mountains. They were warned of even speaking English in public.�Somehow, they were able to plant the seeds that would become a new church in the former Soviet nation. That church has blossomed, he noted, and has since helped additional congregations in the country.�"The last report I got, they started three other churches off that church," Turner said.�Wabaco Pentecostal Church's outreach would not be limited to Russia. The church helped found a congregation in Romania and paid for a Bible school in Brazil. They have three churches in Cuba, purchased Bibles to be shipped to China, and support mission work in Mexico, Romania, and Ecuador thanks to contacts with other missionaries.�The church has also remained active locally, of course, most visibly with the Wabaco Christian Academy, located just a stone's throw from the church near the banks of the North Fork of the Kentucky River.�"It was a vision the church had about 13 years ago to start a Christian school," Turner said.�The small academy graduates just a hand full of students each year, but Turner noted that many have gone on to continue their education and become professionals in one career or another.�"We had graduates go to UK, Eastern, Morehead, Alice Lloyd," he said. "They've become teachers and pharmacists."�With 100 years in existence, the church's members have witnessed a lot of local history. In the 1970s, Wabaco Pentecostal Church hit a major roadblock when a fire destroyed the main structure, but it was not a tragedy the congregation would fail to overcome. With help from the community, the church was rebuilt even bigger than before.�"The community came together and helped us build the church back," Turner explained. "When we built it, we didn't owe a dime on it. We're still grateful to the community for that."�Today's congregation at Wabaco Pentecostal Church is made up of young and old alike, with ages in between. Turner said there are plans to continue outreach and missionary work, hopefully for another 100 years.�"Our vision for the church is to grow and to increase," he said.�For the near future the community is invited to the church's 100th anniversary celebration this week, which kicks off on Tuesday evening with the theme of celebrating 100 years of fire on the mountain. The celebration will include services each evening through Sunday, Sept. 8.

Wando topped Bishop England, 10-4, Wednesday at Father Kelly Field on Daniel Island.
Junior right-hander Jeff Gottesman picked up the win for Wando, pitching four perfect innings with no hits, no walks and five strikeouts. Gunner Finneseth suffered the loss for Bishop England (0-2). The lefty allowed six earned runs off five hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings.
Kep Brown sparked Wando (3-1) in the top of the first, lining a double into left field to bring home Trevor Pedersen and Harrison Smith. Owen Ravenel scored off a Pedersen sacrifice to add another run in the second.
Wando tacked on four more runs in the fourth to build a seven-run lead. Oliver Hill singled to center to drive in Ravenel, Smith hit a two-run single to score Payton Muller and Pedersen, and Noah LoCascio lined a single to center to bring home Smith.
With Gottesman watching from the dugout to start the fifth, Wando struggled to maintain its dominance on the mound, loading the bases with two walks and an error. The Warriors walked in the Bishops' first run and Reed Fosberry added a second with a sacrifice fly to center.
Wando loaded the bases for the Bishops again in the sixth with a walk, hit batter and infield error. Ryan McManus drove in Paul Provost, and Chandler Sambets scored Harrison Boals, both with sacrifice flies, to cut the Warriors' lead to 8-4 with an inning to play.
Max Fries answered for Wando in the top of the seventh with a two-run double to right field to score Barrett Walton and Tyler Ackard. Jonathan Browning picked up Bishop England's only hit of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning with a single to right field. But Wando reliever Ethan Keane struck out the next two batters swinging to seal the win.
LoCascio finished 2-3 with an RBI, Brown 2-4 with a double and two RBIs, and Smith 1-3 with two RBIs, two runs scored and a walk.
McManus turned in an RBI, run scored and walk, Sambets an RBI and walk, and Brown a run scored and walk.
Wando wraps up a six-game road stand Friday against St. James, while Bishop England hosts Ashley Ridge.

WSOF 7 results: Georgi Karakhanyan submits Lance Palmer for inaugural featherweight title
Georgi Karakhanyan (23-3) defeated Lance Palmer (7-1) by third-round submission in the main event of the evening to capture the inaugural WSOF featherweight belt, solidifying his place as the top 145-pound fighter on the roster.
The opening round was contested primarily on the feet and was fairly even before Palmer landed an accidental eye poke that briefly broke up the action. As the fight wore on, Palmer continued to mix up his attacks, throwing some strikes while also resorting to his decorated wrestling abilities.
While Karakhanyan was somewhat active from his back with submission attempts, the relentless smothering of Palmer seemed like it was going to be enough to cruise to a decision. Karakhanyan had other plans, though, and when an opening came up late in the third round, he locked in a guillotine choke that gave Palmer no choice but to tap out.
Georgi Karakhanyan really close to quitting after Lance Palmer eye-poke at WSOF 7
A first-round eye poke nearly prevented Georgi Karakhanyan from competing in a fight that would eventually crown him World Series of Fightings inaugural featherweight champion.
Karakhanyan (23-3-1) suffered an ugly poke to the eye from Lance Palmer (7-1) in the main event of their WSOF 7 showdown Saturday in Vancouver. The poke was so nasty the fighter was close to accepting he could no longer go to battle.
I was really close to saying I couldnt continue, Karakhanyan told MMAjunkie. I didnt even start to see clear until the beginning of the third round.
While the thought of taking himself out of the fight briefly crossed Karakhanyans mind, he ultimately continued despite his impaired vision.
The decision to not give up proved to be a wise one for the 28-year-old as he rallied back from the scary moment to submit Palmer in the third round and take home the 145-pound belt.
Im really happy with my performance, Karakhanyan said. My fight was going into deep waters, and it was all about the heart and the mental how tough I could stay. I felt I could find the finish. I knew I could get the finish and Im extremely happy I did it.

"At one point, I get in front of them, I tried to put my car up in park to jump out of my car at one of them or something, then they both go around. One goes on this side, the other goes on this side of me. And they continue on up through there."
In his written report, the Deputy stated that he pursued the cyclists for almost a mile, and that:
"On several occasions the subjects stood up and shaked their butts at me taunting me."
Asked about this, Tony confirms that on occasion, they were standing on their pedals, and that the Deputy misinterpreted this as taunting. That misunderstanding aside, the Deputy's observation that the cyclists were standing on their pedals brings into doubt his observation that they were traveling at 5-10 MPH. And in fact, as will be seen, the Deputy's own later testimony would contradict his reported estimation of the cyclists' speed.
According to Tony, after the Deputy failed to force them off the road, he raced ahead to the cyclists, and as he caught up with them, hit his lights; he pulled to their right, in the parking lane, and with a profanity-laced tirade, yelled that the two cyclists were under arrest. Tony asked incredulously "What? What are you talking about?" Despite what he felt was a baffling outburst from the Deputy, Tony says that he wanted to pull over, but the Sheriff's cruiser was between him and the shoulder of the road.
At this point, according to Ryan, the Deputy raced ahead 300 meters, swung his cruiser around sideways across the lane, partway into an auto sales lot, got out, and assumed a firing stance. Ryan claims that as the two cyclists approached, the Deputy yelled out, "Stop, or I'll shoot."
With the Deputy in a shooting stance, the situation was getting dangerously out of control, so Tony says that he and Ryan rode up to the Deputy, intending to stop as he had ordered, "like 'you got me,'" Tony says. They rolled to a stop. At that moment, Tony says, the Deputy fired.

So I am sitting on the sofa, alone. Kids in bed, hubby out with an old school chum. First glass of wine of the week (I know!!) launched and ready. I fancy a girly movie….no such luck. I am led into a downward spiral of bitterness and disappointment. What the hell has happened to our Saturday Night TV?
The edges of my fury are only vaguely softened by the recollection of my childhood. Saturday night used to be a feast of family fun, a bonanza of excitement to my immature eyes (or am I wearing those rose-coloured contact lenses again?)
Where is Tomorrow's World with the old fella and Judith Hann? Cool science. Where is the Generation Game which used to make me wet my knickers laughing, whilst munching our Saturday sausage-and-eggs tea?
Even though there were only three channels back then (and they all finished at a respectable person's bedtime!) there seemed to be an endless list of wonders to enjoy.
Tonight I am faced with real people entertaining me on Britain's Got Talent. So many real people on TV these days. I could switch over to a new channel but there I am faced with more real people – dancing. There are celebrities singing on another channel and I daresay if I really trawled with the remote I could find at least another dozen reality shows to choose from.
I used to have to get up and walk across the room back in the day to do this, so we rarely varied from the BBC. Maybe this is why there were only 3 channels. My dad always insisted that ITV was 'trash' anyway, so that left us with two to choose from. Since BBC2 was more dull than a day at school, we were invariably left with one channel.
Does anyone remember the Great Egg Race? Professor Heinz Wolff dazzled us with science that was actually fun for the whole family. And why can't we have Space 1999 or the Multicoloured SwapShop back?
Where is Black Beauty? Crackerjack? Crystaltipps and Alistair? Pipkins? Play Away? Record Breakers?!!!!!
Our personal family favourites as small folk were Animal Magic (Johnny Morris voicing the zoo animals) and Thunderbirds – remember those? All topped off with a tale well told in Jackanory, before bedtime.
As we grew older, my bro and I used to flop in from school and turn on the old brown wooden box, grab a packet of crisps (my bro had a really bad habit of cutting great wads of cheese into his packet and shaking them up before eating – there's a random memory!) and crash out in front of Vision On, only watched in anticipation of the real star of the show – Grange Hill. My parents worried that this programme was a bad influence – visions of me turning up at school one day and spiking my teacher's flask with Senakot or something……they needn't have worried, I was way too chicken to pull any stunts. Still am in fact.
So here I sit, wine glass now empty, head reeling with nostalgia, humming the theme tune to Little House on the Prairie and wondering how the hell I got so old so fast. I have 750 channels to choose from – I think I'll read a book.

Hi, I was gone for a period of time but I'm back with some big changes since I was here last. First change was the purchase of two Pierce Velocity pumpers, second change was the retirement of our commissioner and the hire of a new one, third, we changed our name from the Twp of Spring Vol Fire Dept to Twp of Spring Fire Rescue Service, fourth (and the hits keep coming) the lease of two officers vehicles. All the changes were welcomed by most of the membership and we are looking for a brighter future ahead. Check us out at www.tsvfd.com

What to See in Palermo, Buenos Aires's Largest Barrio
Once part of the capital's unsavory arrabales (margins), its street corners populated by stylish but capricious malevos (bullies) immortalized in Borges's short stories, Palermo hasn't entirely superseded that reputation—some poorly lighted streets still make visitors uneasy. Yet it also has exclusive neighborhoods such as Barrio Parque, the embassy row also known as Palermo Chico, immediately north of Recoleta.
Across Avenida del Libertador, the Botánico is an upper-middle-class neighborhood that takes its name from the Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays (Avenida Santa Fe 3951, tel. 011/4831-4527, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. daily, free), an otherwise appealing botanical garden infested with feral cats. Opposite nearby Plaza Italia, the Jardín Zoológico (Avenida Las Heras s/n, tel. 011/4806-7412, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Tues.–Sun.) is an ideal outing for visitors with children (free up to age 12). General admission costs US$3 per adult.
The real center of action, though, is across Avenida Santa Fe at Palermo Viejo, where Plaza Serrano (also known as Plaza Cortázar) is a major locus of local nightlife. Palermo Viejo subdivides into Palermo Soho, a trendy term to describe the area south of Avenida Juan B. Justo, and the more northerly Palermo Hollywood, where many television and radio producers have located their facilities. Shaded by sycamores, many Palermo Viejo streets still contain casas chorizo (sausage houses) on deep, narrow lots. One of the most interesting private residences is the Casa Jorge García (Gorriti 5142), whose garage facade features Martiniano Arce's filete caricatures of the García family.
Palermo's most conspicuous new landmark is the controversial Centro Cultural Islámico Rey Fahd (Avenida Bullrich 55, tel. 011/4899-1144), built with Saudi money on land acquired from the Menem administration. It's open for guided tours only Tuesday and Thursday noon–1 p.m. To the north, overlapping Belgrano, Las Cañitas is a gastronomic and nightlife zone challenging Palermo Viejo among porteño partygoers.
Parque Tres de Febrero
Argentine elites got their revenge on dictator José Manuel de Rosas with Parque Tres de Febrero. Not only does the equestrian Monumento a Urquiza (Avenida Sarmiento and Avenida Figueroa Alcorta) commemorate Rosas's military nemesis, but President Domingo F. Sarmiento's name graces one of the main avenues. Sarmiento, Rosas's implacable foe, oversaw the transformation during his presidency (1868–1874); a Rodin statue of Sarmiento now stands at the site of the dictator's bedroom (the Roman-style villa was dynamited).
In the early 20th century, noting Sunday's spectacle of horse-drawn carriages and motorcars, British diplomat James Bryce remarked that "Nowhere in the world does one get a stronger impression of exuberant wealth and extravagance." Today, though, it's a more democratic destination, where the automobiles move slowly and picnickers, walkers, joggers, in-line skaters, and cyclists can enjoy its verdant serenity.
The park's sights include the Jardín Japonés (Japanese Gardens); the Rosedal (Rose Garden, Avenida Iraola and Avenida Presidente Pedro Montt); the Museo de Artes Plásticas Eduardo Sívori (Avenida Infanta Isabel 555, tel. 011/4772-5628, noon–8 p.m. Tues.– Fri., 10 a.m.–8 p.m. weekends, US$0.30), a fine painting and sculpture museum; the Hipódromo Argentino (racetrack, Avenida del Libertador and Avenia Dorrego); and the Campo Argentino de Polo (polo grounds), directly across Avenida del Libertador.
Jardín Japonés
An oasis of calm in the city's rush, Buenos Aires's Japanese garden opened in 1967, when Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko visited Argentina. Administratively part of the Jardín Botánico, the Jardín Japonés enjoys better maintenance, and because there's chicken wire between the exterior hedges and the interior fence, it's full of chirping birds rather than feral cats.
Like Japanese gardens elsewhere, it mimics nature in its large koi pond, waterfall, and "isle of the gods," and also Japanese culture in features like its pier, lighthouse, and "bridge of fortune." In addition, the garden contains a Monumento al Sudor del Inmigrante Japonés (Monument to the Effort of the Japanese Immigrant). Argentina has a small but well-established Japanese community in the capital and the suburb of Escobar.
The Jardín Japonés (Avenida Casares and Avenida Adolfo Berro, tel. 011/4801-4922, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. daily) charges US$1.50 for adults, US$0.25 for children (above age six) on weekdays; weekend and holiday rates are US$2 for adults, US$0.75 for children. There are guided weekend tours at 3 p.m.
Museo de Arte Popular José Hernández
It's tempting to call this the "museum of irony": Argentina's most self-consciously gaucho-oriented institution sits in one of the country's most urbane and affluent neighborhoods, also home to many foreign embassies. Named for the author of the gauchesco epic poem Martín Fierro, it specializes in rural Argentiniana.
Even more ironically, land-owning oligarch Félix Bunge built the derivative French- Italianate residence with marble staircases and other extravagant features. Originally named for the Carlos Daws family, who donated its contents, it became the Museo de Motivos Populares Argentinos (Museum of Argentine Popular Motifs) José Hernández until the 1976–1983 dictatorship deleted the potentially inflammatory populares (which in context means "people's") from the official name. Thus, perhaps, it could depict gentry like the Martínez de Hoz family as part of a bucolic open-range lifestyle.
That said, the museum has many worthwhile items, ranging from magnificent silverwork and vicuña textiles created by contemporary Argentine artisans to pre-Columbian pottery, indigenous crafts, and even a typical pulpería (rural store). Translations of Hernández's famous poem, some in Asian and Eastern European languages, occupy a prominent site.
The Museo de Arte Popular José Hernández (Avenida del Libertador 2373, tel. 011/4803-2384, 1–7 p.m. Wed.–Fri., 10 a.m.–8 p.m. weekends and holidays) charges US$0.30 admission except Sunday, when it's free. It's normally closed in February.
Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo
Matías Errázuriz Ortúzar and his widow Josefina de Alvear de Errázuriz lived less than 20 years in the ornate beaux arts building (1918) that now houses the national decorative art museum. Its inventory consists of 4,000 items from the family's own collections, ranging from Roman sculptures to contemporary silverwork, but mostly Asian and European pieces from the 17th to 19th centuries. Many items are anonymous; the best-known are by Europeans like Manet and Rodin.
The Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo (Avenida del Libertador 1902, tel. 011/4802- 6606, 2–7 p.m. Tues.– Sun., US$1.25, free Tues.) offers guided English-language tours Tuesday–Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The museum is closed the last week of December and first week of January.
Buenos Aires's most deluxe museum, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires is a striking steel-and-glass structure dedicated to Latin American art rather than the Eurocentric contents of many—if not most—Argentine collections. Designed by Córdoba architects Gastón Atelman, Martín Fourcade, and Alfredo Tapia, it devotes one entire floor to the private collection of Argentine businessman Eduardo F. Constantini, the motivating force behind the museum's creation; the 2nd floor offers special exhibitions.
The most prominent artists on display are the Mexicans Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, but there are also works by Antonio Berni, the Chilean Robert Matta, the Uruguayan Pedro Figari, and others. It also has a cinema and hosts other cultural events.
The Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Avenida Figueroa Alcorta 3415, tel. 011/4808-6500, US$4, US$1.25 Wed.) is open noon–9 p.m. Wednesday, noon–8 p.m. Thursday–Monday and holidays.
Museo Eva Perón
At her most combative, to the shock and disgust of neighbors, Eva Perón chose the affluent Botánico for the Hogar de Tránsito No. 2, a shelter for single mothers from the provinces. Even more galling, her Fundación de Ayuda Social María Eva Duarte de Perón took over an imposing three-story mansion to house the transients.
Since Evita's 1952 death, middle-class apartment blocks have mostly replaced the elegant single-family houses and distinctive apartment buildings that then housed the porteño elite (many of them moved to northern suburbs). Half a century later, on the July 26th anniversary of her death—supporting Tomás Eloy Martínez's observation that Argentines are "cadaver cultists"—her great-niece María Carolina Rodríguez officially opened this professionally organized museum to "spread the life, work, and ideology of María Eva Duarte de Perón."
What it lacks is a critical perspective to help, again in Rodríguez's words, "understand who this woman was in the 1940s and 1950s, who made such a difference in the lives of Argentines"—a goal possibly inconsistent with her other stated aims. Rather than a balanced assessment, this is a chronological homage that sidesteps the issue of personality cults of both Evita and her charismatic husband.
The Museo Eva Perón (Lafinur 2988, tel. 011/4807-9433, 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Tues.–Sun., US$3) has a museum store with a selection of Evita souvenirs and a fine café-restaurant as well. Guided English-language tours, bookable in advance, cost US$5.

Here's the best way for long term storage of ammunition--or anything else of interest or importance....
PVC pipe--large diameter PVC pipe.
10" / 12" or larger inner diameter PVC. Schedule 40 pipe is great (white PVC). In the larger sizes, the wall thickness is slighly more that 1/4".
Large diameter PVC is easily available at plumbing supply warehouses--that kind that tradesmen and contractors use. Here cash is king--so walk in, know what you want, and wave cash... you will not be turned down.
PVC is easily cut with a hand saw. Just make sure your ends are square, this done by wraping a string around the pipe--measuring from the end for alignment, then marking with a pencil or marker. Cut along the line as you roll the pipe.
Your containers are then sealed using PVC (same schedule) end caps, plugs or screw caps. Make sure you use lots of PVC primer, before you apply liberal amounts of glue.
End caps are recommend because they provide a completely sure-fire seal. Allow a few inches of room between the end-caps and your stuff. This is because when you want to open it later--you tap the stuff to one end by tilting up the container. Then you saw around the end cap. Voila! It's opened.
I would suggest using lots of desecate (sp?) packs inside your containers. And before you seal it up--use a hair dryer on low heat... with it aimed into the container for a half an hour or so. This will drive out excess moisture.
Hidding your containers? Burrial of course. But not off your property--or property you cannot control. Crawl spaces under houses, sheds, etc.--sprinkled with lots of scap pipe of course to throw off metal detectors. Do not burry you container in ground that has a shallow water table--don't push it. Or on a potential flood plain--it may float up. Do not burry your container on ground that has vehicle traffice (tractors, cars, etc.) --you don't want to crush it.
If you need a BOC (bug-out-container) off property, then you have to be very clever where you place it. Again take in all the considerations above. Formost you need security. Un-trodden space. Unseen. Away from the obvioius places where treasure hunters with metal detectors would ply. No abandoned homes, ranches, etc. But it has to be accessable. This is the conondrum! Also... you need security when placing your container. You don't want to plant something under the watching eyes of a theif--who will wait for you to leave and dig up your goods. Put some thought into this process, with the thought of how you are going to re-locate your cache rain, night, day, snow or whatever. Also--if you should go down--make provisions for someone else to take up the flag.
Ammo cans--not good for burrial. Yes they are water-tight, but they rust. I believe a 50-cal ammo can will fit into a 12" dia PVC. ---this would be optimal. Ammo cans would be good in a walled-up hide-hole, false floors, etc. where fast availability is necessary. Also when storing metal items (ahem!) inside PVC--oil, oil, oil and seal in plastic. Break items down if necessary.
Storing ammo only--2" diameter PVC is readly available at Home Depot. A lot of ammo can be stored inside a 2' x 2" PVC container.
Sky's the limit using PVC--thank God for Dow Chemical.
