The Vuelta’s is six seconds and the Tour’s is eight seconds. What is the Giro’s? What year and between which riders?

I am writing a letter to my Italian professor and asking her if she wouldn’t mind writing a letter of recommendation for me. However, before sending it I want to be sure the spelling is correct and I am writing to her in the proper way (Lei). Any help or suggestions from fluent Italian speakers would be greatly appreciated. Grazie mille.

Gentile Professoressa Tiberi,

Buongiorno Professoressa! Come sta?
Sono tornata a New York. Ed ora che ho fatto un giro d’Europa, sono sicura che vorrei studiare in Italia.
Come l’ho già detto: l’Italia è il paese più bello che ho visto!
Onestamente, penso che è una cosa che devo fare e sento che questo cambierà la mia vita.
Sono pronta ad inscrivirmi all’universita ma ho bisogno di una lettera di raccomandazione.
Vorrei sapere se potrebbe scrivermene una. Lo apprezzerei moltissimo.

La Sua studentessa, M.M

Okay, so here’s the deal I watched this one anime before and I forgot what it was called…I can discribe it, from what I remember that is. It’s about this on robot who doesn’t have any memory and he does fight and can transform from human to robot. The main girl hates robot because her Dad made one(some) and, if I remember correctly, is killed by one. But she knows who this guy is…kind of. She says his robot name(I think it’s Giro, Chiro, Gero, somethin’ like that) and he kinda remembers some things and he goes full robot, even in looks. At first she HATES him and doesn’t want nothing to do with him but they go on an adventure and later on she actually falls in-love with him(>:P). It’s not half bad, from what I remember. It’s been a while since I seen it…lets see…maybe 4-5 years maybe longer. When I seen it it was on adultswim so yeah…If anyone can help me I’ll appreciate it very much! I can’t remember this animes name to save my life! Help?

URGENT - DUDLEY EARTHQUAKE APPEAL

At 00:54 on Monday 23 September an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit Dudley, UK, causing untold disruption and distress - many were woken well before their Giro arrived.

Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged.

Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed.

Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Dudley.

One resident, Donna-Marie Dutton, a 17 year old mother-of-three said:

"It was such a shock, little Chantal-Leanne came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning."
Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal.

The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area, to help the stricken masses.

she’s so political. i love it.

You can watch tv and watch the media
President Bush doing takeover
Kate Moss in ads for mascara
Oh my uth the young offender
The bill payers the drug dealers
Girls who are on magazine covers
The part-time jobbers at a call centre
No career plans cause you won’t go far
Put away change for Ibiza
And check your credit on your new Nokia
You can be a follower,
but who’s your leader?

Your Prime Minister to ya employer,
Ego lovers need more power
The trend-setters make things better
Don’t sell out to be product pushers
The giro-casher and baby maker
Try something new cos it aint over
All poor people from all over,
The lottery’s got a rollover
You can be a follower,
but who’s your leader?

Break that cycle or it will kill ya

I’ve come to like this Greek song called Epetios (Epethios) by Mixalis Xatzigiannis but I just have no idea what the lyrics say. Could you possibly translate the lyrics for me? or at least tell me the gist of the song, please?

Here’s a link to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upyJ20Dtu5Y&feature=related

And also, here are the lyrics of the song written in the Roman alphabet:

Den mporo tin epetio, ton kosmo giro, ta pota
Afto to telio tipota me tus dio mas ankalia
Den mporo to horo mas, kleftes maties ston urano
Tin anasa su sto soma, ta heria giro ap’ to lemo

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Kathe ora pu pernai se diagrafo, kathe ora prospatho
Ma erhete pali etuti i mera ki ap’ ti zoi mu se zito

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Tetia mera Thee mu s’ agapo
Tetia mera Thee mu s’ agapo

Den mporo na thimame, mia skia na nostalgo
Pos thes st’ asteria na ‘me otan esi den ise edo
Den mporo to horo mas, kleftes maties ston urano
Tin anasa su sto soma mu, ta heria giro ap’ to lemo

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Kathe ora pu pernai se diagrafo, kathe ora prospatho
Ma erhete pali etuti i mera ki ap’ ti zoi mu se zito

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

when u r a gynaecologist,you have to go with the fannies sorry flow

Does anyone know where can I find and watch video clips of the cycling like the Giro and Le Tour? I checked youtube and a few news sites but it just doesn’t seem that popular…

Thanks Em

I am italian and every year i see all the giro but I want to know if in America you like the giro d'italia. I think this giro has been easier than the other but very spectacular,funny and with an emotional final.

with lance armstong coming out of retirement this will be his first grand tour since him coming back and his firs giro. why would versus not want to broadcast this 3 week tour. they have all of the other cycling events on there schedule.
