I searched the forum and found a couple of discussions regarding the subject in 2009. It's 2012 and I have the same request (see attached). I haven't found a setting in the dim style or the RMB options to turn off the extension line. I saw the posts showing drawing a sketch in the view but come on, all that to just turn off the line?
IV 2012 all sp & fixes
I agree! This is a significant shortcoming in the drawing manger. Your illustration shows it very well.
What happens if you rotate the diameter dimensin around. Does the extention shorten and almost disapear?
It's just going to go the other way.
I just submitted this to the Autodesk product comment site (otherwise known as the wishlist). I'd encourage others to do the same. I asked for the ability to control visibility and attachment point of diameter dimension extension arcs.
Ok, thanks. I'll go there and submit the request.
This has been logged in our wishlist database with number
1336903 Unwanted extension line of diameter dimension
Has a resolution been found for this? I couldn't find anything in the service pack or hotfix readme's.
A good workaround is to
1) Sketch a circle on the view and constrain it.
2) Close the sketch
3) Dimension the circle.
4) Open the sketch
5) Select the circle and set as "sketch only"
But a programmed solution would definitely be better.

"Spirit lost"
Got through it finally
I felt like the story went no where I was always "wondering where's this going?"
More descriptive narration. When at the climax I still feel like he was reading the story as it was the beginning.
This is a after school special at best.
"A pinch of salt"
I like this book the reading was excellent and you get a real sense of who the characters really are. Joe accepts her fate while Clare rebels against it. Things don't always go the way of Clare no matter how hard she tries.
"ok but not worth remembering"
this book just didn't do anything for me. It just wasn't worth trying again. definitely going to put this on the book shelve and let it collect dust.
"stephen king???"
This was a refreshing book from the master of horror. I gave up reading his books 10 or so years ago. and i am delighted that i picked him up again. This reads more like a mystery than any horror I've read. Great job i believe i will keep with him.
"sad in the end"
sad that this series ended but delighted just the same. I do hope that their are spin offs
Need I say more! It's Kevin Hearne with the top sexiest Druids and Luke Daniels the top audible reader you just can't go wrong!
"Little giant big personality"
I like this book even when parts were slow I felt I knew her. Character development is surpburb in this book the performance by Carrington Macduffie is right on but I felt more personality in each person voicing would have bought forth a great performance. Sometimes I felt like the characters were so well written but it got lost without different voices. In saying that this was still a very good read and I recommend it
"Mercy mercy me"
This was a stunning book for character development. The scene were right in front of my eyes. It was like I was standing in the book with them. I knew these characters I felt for these characters.
I thought the book was becoming predictable but alas mercy me! It surprised moi! A definite re-read
"I need a campfire"
I loved this story it was believable and sweet. The ending was enough and it all work out
"Ok but predictable"
This was just okay. The story was predictable and WAY to far fetched. The characters are well done with real personalities which made it fun.
From the very first book I knew America was going to get everything she wanted. The reader was slow and boring. But I digress I can't leave a trilogy unfinished.

Big Al Jefferson wasn't quite so big back in ninth grade, but fellow Mississippian Mo Williams was … figuratively speaking.
Williams, a 2003 Jazz draft pick whom the team reacquired last June, is a 6-foot-1 guard. Jefferson, who is about to begin his third year in Utah, is a 6-10 center. Together, they're expected to form 2/5 of the team's starting lineup this season.
"I was (in) ninth grade when he was a senior in high school," Jefferson said. "I went to go see him play and I thought he was the best player in the world."
Williams grew up in Jackson, Miss. and starred at Murrah High School before playing college ball at Alabama. Jefferson, meanwhile, grew up in Prentiss, Miss., population around 1,500.
As a high school freshman, Jefferson knew of Williams' reputation and made a special trip to go watch him play.
"He was at the big school and to go watch him play, it was amazing," Jefferson said Monday at the Jazz's annual media day.
Williams smiled when asked if he remembered the first time he met Big Al, who was around 6-4 at the time. Jefferson was up-and-coming at the time, but Williams had already arrived.
Williams chuckled when told of Jefferson's comment that he was "the best player in the world" at the time.
"If I was him I probably would have thought that, too," he said. "I was older than him and I was the best player in the state and he was a young guy coming up. I always liked his game."
A few years later Jefferson became Mississippi's best high school player. As a senior he averaged 42.6 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocked shots per game. Although he had offers to play at the college level, he was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 15 pick in the 2004 draft.
"I remember going off to college and hearing from home," Williams said. "They said, 'Man, Al scored 67 points (in a single game) today.' I was like, 'Little Big Al, 67 points?' It's amazing to see how both our lives have grown."
Williams and Jefferson have been good friends for years, often getting together to work out in Mississippi during the offseason.
Jefferson said he was thrilled when the Jazz acquired Williams in a draft-night trade last June.

I rarely watch UFC events live because of the timezone difference. I'm 5 hours ahead of Eastern and 8 hours ahead of Pacific standard time. I DVR ESPN in the UK, and get to watch on a Sunday morning or afternoon after a reasonable night's sleep. I'll stay up a bit to catch the prelims on Facebook or UFC.TV, but by the time a main card usually starts it's around 3am my time and I'm fast asleep.
So feeling refreshed and having had a break from what would otherwise have been a marathon MMA TV session, I feel I'm able to watch fights with a sharper, more focused mind. And I thought the Heavyweight bout at UFC 149 between Cheick Kongo and Shawn Jordan was good.
It wasn't the most exciting or technically brilliant of fights, but there was a lot going on in the clinch against the fence that left me satisfied that both men were always working hard to get an edge that unfortunately never quite happened. But it wasn't the Wall'n'Stall fest an irate Dana White would have you believe.
Joe Rogan remarked he was glad Yves Lavigne let the two fighters work and wasn't jumping in there to break them up, and Rogan wasn't the only one to feel this way. Lavigne did a good job in officiating that fight.
Sometimes a fight isn't dynamic and won't feature the pop and sizzle of the Stand'n'Bangers Dana White fawns over. Sometimes it is a struggle, where two men are fighting over inches for an advantage. Both men were pummeling for underhooks to defend against leg attacks (aka takedowns on the legs), both men were utilising whizzers to counter the underhooks, both men were fighting for head space to help with leverage on the upper body.
Kongo was even able to get the back a couple of times, but Jordan defended well, and when Jordan was able to turn back into him, Kongo attempted to tie him up in the Front Headlock and look for knees, which would have occurred with more frequency had Jordan not been gaming the system. By exploiting what the Unified Rules of MMA define as a 'downed opponent', Kongo's offense from here was basically shut down by Jordan's mat tickling. Kongo even looked to grip his hands for a Full Stocks / Crucifix but was never able to take control with it.
Some might have felt Kongo had such a clear advantage from boxing range he should have fought from there, but maybe he felt he needed to fight from the clinch and it was his prerogative to do so, and it's a valid position to fight from. Kongo wasn't able to dominate from there, and credit should be given to Jordan for being technical enough to negate this attack, but not enough turn things in his favour, at least not for very long. Having learned Kongo had hurt his shoulder and dislocated his collar bone in the fight based off of a pre-existing injury, his strategy makes more sense. Of course, in his post UFC 149 media scrum Dana White looked less than impressed when given this information, as anecdotal as it may have been.
And maybe that's the problem. With as vocal and in the public spotlight as Dana White is, he's able to influence a whole generation of fight fans with what he believes makes a great fight. Dana White is able to do so to the point a large portion of the fanbase will adopt his opinion as their own.
Just based off of his reaction last night -- which admittedly is compounded by other fights that were a let down -- Dana White doesn't appear to understand the grappling aspect of a fight unless it involves someone being slammed, someone moving around a lot, or someone being choked unconscious or having a bone broken. If you ask him what 'pummeling' is, he's more likely to answer with the striking definition than the grappling one.
Cheick Kongo and Shawn Jordan could have done more, yes. They both have room for technical development and progression. But this is sometimes what happens when an evenly matched pair of fighters face off, and as long as the clinch game is part of MMA it's up to us to become more educated in what we're seeing, including the UFC President.

Looking for the Sunday Morning Serving Schedule?
A Note From the Pastors
Wow, are we through January already?
Time really does fly when you are having fun. Lots is happening with Alpha course now in full swing at the church, Freedom Session continuing and an exciting banquet happening on February 15 - "Community Connections". Currently we have people in the Dominican Republic building a house and doing medical/dental missions. At the end of February, two more will go to Finland and Russia on an annual trip to create community excitement by playing hockey in several smaller cities, and by ministering in orphanages, rehab centers, and local churches.
God is doing great things in teh eart today and it is exciting to be a part of that.
This seems to be a busy season in the spirit too, there are lots of people who are calling with questions, asking for help in their current situation, and showing up in church on Sunday. God is faithful and it is thrilling to see His power at work in people's lives.
I have a sense that God is calling us to persevere, that personal dreams and prophetic words are going to be fulfilled. We need to press in with prayer, make declarations of faith, and "not grow weary at doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not lose heart."
Pastor Andy and Adele
You can find a schedule posted on our About Page.

The team has put in a lot of effort and time over the off-season by playing in numerous outdoor leagues in Johnstown and Altoona. The players on the team this year have shown the most dedication and desire to the team since I have been head coach. We look to win the District 6 championship and bring it back to Forest Hills for the very first time in school history."

Samuel L. Jackson and Pornstache: A Look at the Week's Top 5 Viral TV Clips
There is a lot of great video content on the web – the problem is finding the right thing to watch. 5by, the video discovery platform acquired by StumbleUpon in September 2013, solves that. 5by founder Greg Isenberg wanted to surface the best web videos based on a user's moods and preferences to eliminate the guessing game associated with searching for videos.
In a LinkedIn Influencer post about Isenberg and the 'Anatomy of a Million Dollar Idea,' Isenberg tells writer J.T. O'Donnell: "I was trying to find an app that would serve me content based on my mood and preferences. Similar to music apps like Pandora or Spotify, I wanted to be able to sit on my iPad and have short videos queued up instead of having to watch TV or manually search for them on the web. When I realized no such app existed, I immediately got started on the project to create one." Read more

Thank you for the kind words and support

I wanted to put this up on the website so I don't bore you with it on the air. I haven't really been talking about it much, but the reason I sound so out-of-it on the air these days is that I had a stroke (actually three small ones) just over two weeks ago. I was in the hospital for four days and I've been back at work for about a week now. I don't think I'm close to 100% as far as my performance is concerned but I'm doing my best and feeling better and stronger every day. The people here at 101 Gold have been wonderfully supportive and have told me to take it at my own pace. Listeners on the phone have been extraordinary in their expressions of affection and support. Thank you all. I wish I could give each of you a big hug. Hopefully when I'm fully recovered I'll be able to. I appreciate your patience, believe me I know my work isn't up to my usual standards but I'll be back to normal just as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your expressions of support. Don't let anybody kid you, that stuff really does make a difference.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike said it has closed the toll highway between the Reading and Harrisburg East interchanges because flood waters are impacting the bridge over the Swatara Creek in Dauphin County.
Turnpike COO Craig Shuey said the 39-mile stretch had to be shut down because the safety of the bridge is compromised and the creek is expected to rise through the night.
All westbound traffic is being forced off the Turnpike at the Reading Exit and all eastbound traffic forced off at the Harrisburg East Exit.
The best available routes as of Thursday afternoon are as follows:
Westbound Traffic: Exit at the Reading Interchange. Take U.S. Route 222 North to Pa. Route 61 North to I-78 West to I-81 South; reenter the Turnpike at Carlisle.
Eastbound Traffic: Exit at Harrisburg East and follow I-283 North to I-83 North to I-81 North to I-78 East to Pa. Route 61 South to U.S. Route 222 South and reenter the Turnpike at Reading.
The toll road reopened Friday morning.

Research Report: Arctic phytoplankton blooming earlier
by Lynne Friedmann
Warming temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic may be behind a progressively earlier bloom of a crucial marine event; the annual spring bloom of phytoplankton — tiny plants at the base of the ocean food chain.
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD, along with colleagues in Portugal and Mexico, plotted the annual phytoplankton bloom in the Arctic Ocean and found the peak timing of the event has been progressing earlier each year for more than a decade. Analyzing satellite data depicting ocean color and phytoplankton production, scientists conclude that the spring bloom has come up to 50 days earlier in some areas.
During the one- to two-week spring bloom, a major influx of new organic carbon enters the marine ecosystem through a massive peak in phytoplankton photosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide into organic matter as part of the global carbon cycle. Phytoplankton blooms, in turn, stimulate production of zooplankton, microscopic marine animals, which become a food source for other marine life.
The findings appear in the journal Global Change Biology. News release at bit.ly/fv43AL.
Digital cinema project honored
For the fourth year in a row and the fifth time in six years, a project involving the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) is the winner of a prestigious award for Experimental/Developmental Applications in high-performance networking. The winning project showed how advanced broadband networks, telepresence, and software tools can dramatically change the way Hollywood studios make movies.
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California bestowed the award on a team led by CineGrid, an international research consortium for networked media arts, which staged a joint demonstration with Walt Disney Studios last October of advanced networking and tools for post-production editing and scoring of films by creative teams located in disparate locations. News release at bit.ly/fpc8iK.
Uncovering rare receptors
Receptors found on cells are among the most important targets for the development of drugs because of the key roles they play in the communication circuits regulating various body functions. But, so far, scientists have identified only a few of the receptors present on different types of nerve cells.
Now, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and University of Pennsylvania have found a way to uncover 20 to 30 times more receptors than previous studies have identified. By applying the new method to a type of nerve cell critical to regulating body temperature, the authors found more than 400 receptors responding to neurotransmitters, hormones, and other chemical signals.
The technique is described in the journal Pharmacology and Therapeutics. News release at bit.ly/eX8kXo.

Rocky's role?
Jason Gregor
July 23 2014 10:22AM
Rocky Thompson was named assistant coach of the Edmonton Oilers last week. He's only 36, but he already has seven years of coaching experience.
Many were wondering what will be bring to the staff? What will his role be? I caught up with Thompson last week to try and find out those answers.
July 22 2014 01:22PM
The Edmonton Oilers are predictable when it comes to their roster spots—so predictable that we can surround the opening night lineup with very little trouble. It's been years since an actual surprise emerged and won a job during the pre-season, and it's extremely unlikely to happen this season.
All your centres are belong to Nashville
Jonathan Willis
July 22 2014 07:00AM
The Edmonton Oilers reportedly had interest in at least two different unrestricted free agent centres. Both of them ended up signing in Nashville.
2014-15 Goals Projection: No. 3 winger David Perron
Jonathan Willis
July 21 2014 04:14PM
David Perron blew expectations away after coming over from St. Louis last season, posting a legitimate breakout season at the age of 25. Is it a sign of things to come, or will he take a step back next season?
Oilers prospects: Who, where, why?
Jason Gregor
July 21 2014 11:00AM
The Oilers prospect cupboard might be as full as it has ever been. They have good depth on the blueline, they finally have some skilled size in the system and, most importantly, they have a few prospects who are NHL ready.

Today is break day, for half the groups, so there's more time for every matchup. Plus I'm lazy, so I didn't write anything about the first two games that were played today.
Day 3 of the Eurobasket 2011, and Groups C and D have a day off. In Groups A and B the tournament goes on, and some interesting matches are being played.
Group A:
- Spain 86 - 69 Great Britain: All the defending champs needed was one burst of energy to put he game out of reach for juggernaut Luol Deng and the british team. They got that in the third quarter, where they made a 16-piont lead out of a 6-point game, with Marc Gasol scoring 12 points in the quarter. Notable effort by Clark, who scored 14 with 12 rebounds. Spain was not under pressure, and so managed to overcome a terrible outing by Navarro (1-11 FG), behind 40 points by the Gasol brothers and Reyes.
- Portugal vs Poland: a dull game, up to now, where Poland strives to do the obvious, defeat Portugal and stay alive. Portugal, on the other hand, will try to steal one. EDIT: Poland's carelessness didn't reach Croatia levels. It was fortunate that Portugal ran out of steam - the rest was experience doing the talking. 73 - 81.
- Turkey vs Lithuania: Now, that's an interesting game. Turkey seems to be on a roll, but had no real challenge up to this point; the same goes for Lithuania. I'd say it's more of a strong friendly game for both teams, as none of them is going to lose the easy games (against the lower tier of competition both teams won't fail). This would also show what there's really to expect out of these teams (and I'm particularly curious about Turkey). Prediction: Lithuania wins. It's a hunch. I hope to see something out of the Lithuania backcourt. EDIT: They won (68 - 75), and their backcourt had a decent performance, but the game was close. With Turkey 5 down and 23'' to go, Preldzic commited a backcourt violation, Jasikevicius won (and calmly sank) 2 freebies and Lithuania won. Turkey got 20 points from Ilyasova though, and opposing teams should notice, as he was 8-15 from the field. I don't know what part of it he created for himself, or whether he just handled execution though.
Group B:
- Serbia 89 - 80 Israel: The first game where Israel actually stood a chance. Yotam Halperin finally shined (at least a little) and Israel, after surrendering a fragile lead managed to come back within one, but Krstic responded with 4 unanswered points and Serbia held on for the win. Worth mentioning is also Savanovic, who carried Serbia through a long drought.
- Latvia vs Italy: Latvia is actually giving Italy the fits as I'm writing, leading by 2, while Italy is only getting reliable contribution from Andrea Bargnani. As I said so often, Italy needs all three NBAers to contribute simultaneously in order to be a fearsome group; with just one of them they're Great Britain, and with two they're Germany without Chris Kaman (yes, Nowitzki counts as two of them). Italy is shooting miserably, but FTs still hold them in the game. EDIT: And there you go, Bargnani had to prove me wrong. He compensated for his performance yesterday by scoring 36 points against a pesky Latvia side, that, frankly, played their hearts out again. Italy won despite Belinelli's and Gallinari's dreadful performance (against Latvia, for God's sake, it's not as though they're playing against an All-Star team), getting valuable scoring from players noone thought existed, I mean eight, e-i-g-h-t different players scored for Italy (got to be a milestone)! A pity that Latvia didn't win, everybody likes them.
- Germany vs France: A game to watch. Is new Germany finally ready for a breakthrough? Is France coming together as a team? Much will depend on the Nowitzki - Marion matchup, and on how Germany's "role" players can really contribute. Can Heiko Schaffartzik carry Germany against Parker? And how will Kaman fare against much-celebrated Joakim Noah? Is Robin Benzing the next Nowitzki, as many claim (not yet, I can tell as much, but he is a factor to be reckoned with). Anyway, I hope this becomes as interesting match, just as it promises to. EDIT: Tony Parker (in french it is pronounced Tóny Parkér, did you know? Well, me neither, but the French commentator kept calling him thus) had a hell of a game (again), and France had enough big bodies to rotate on Nowitzki. Three out of four guys ended up with four fouls (FIBA regulations: foul out is with the fifth), but it didn't matter, as Nowitzki was pestered in offense and afraid of contact on defense. With Parker scoring at will and toying with the German defense, this was over midway through the third, when Germany failed to stay close. France wins 76 - 65.

Why We Love Buenos Aires
Aahh, Buenos Aires. The city of good air. We often say in our posts about cities that we are not huge fans of cities, but then go on to list all the reasons why we liked that particular city. For this post, I'm going to skip that opening. The truth is I've realized that sometimes cities can be quite nice. I don't know that I'll ever be able to live in a city for more than a few weeks at a time, but sometimes a visit, especially after spending 3 months in the middle of Patagonia, can be quite enjoyable. Before we even left on this trip we knew that we were going to love Buenos Aires. In fact I have been entertaining ideas of getting an apartment and living there for years now. After spending a week in Buenos Aires, I was actually looking up english teaching jobs and trying to figure out ways to talk Luis into staying for awhile. Buenos Aires is a huge city that combines a European feel with Latin America in just the right combination to give it charm. Each neighborhood in the downtown has it's own vibe, from the ritzy upperclass Recoleta with it's business district upperclass feel, to Palermo with its tidy clean swept streets and trendy boutiques with price tags to make your eyes pop, to San Telmo the more middle class bohemian artsy neighborhood with its old architecture, Sunday flea market and great graffiti. There really is something for everyone to enjoy. Here are our top reasons why we loved this particular city.
Availability of Cheap Apartments for Rent
A quick google search of apartment rentals or airbnb type websites for Buenos Aires will soon overwhelm a person with the choices out there for rent. It seems to be a huge business in the city, and even better for the owners is that almost all charge in US dollars that are almost impossible to get a hold of in Argentina (a word of advice if you plan on renting an apartment get some US dollars. In fact because of the "blue" or black market exchange on dollars you really want to bring US dollars for your entire stay in Argentina. It pretty much cuts your cost in half). The options are really all over the map and in every price range, starting at very affordable prices by the day, week, or month. Our first week we rented a beautiful apartment with the Remotely's in the Recoletta neighborhood. It was in a neat old building within walking distance of the subte (BA's subway system) and all manner of entertainment including the famous Recoletta cemetery, great cafes, restaurants and lots of plazas. It also had super fast internet and its own "at cost" wine cellar. All for only a little more than $100 a day split between the 5 of us. After the Remotely's headed out we found a cute little apartment for a week in the San Telmo neighborhood. If I would have had my way and we stayed in BA for 6 months this is the apartment I would have wanted to live in. It was in a super old building and was built old spanish style with a great little patio entrance and all the rooms of the house opening up off the patio. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. This two bedroom apartment came with the hefty price tag of $35 a night. Our third week in BA we made the mistake of not reserving our apartment in advance and we ended up having to move again to another apartment in the San Telmo neighborhood. This one was only $30 a night and was a loft only a few blocks away. It too was pretty fabulous. We did some checking on hostel prices within the city. A decent private room with shared bathroom for 2 runs about $40-$45 a night. Much better to get your own, fully furnished private place with our own kitchen and OVEN! After nearly 4 years of living out of the truck, it felt like quite the luxury to have our own private space for a few weeks.
Amazing Restaurants
If your familiar with our blog you probably already know that we love food. We especially love trying local food. If Argentina is the capital of steakhouses then BA is the capital of the capital. Good food is to be had all over the city, including mind numbingly good steak. Jessica did some research and discovered that the restaurant La Cabrera one of the most famous steakhouses in the city has a happy hour special. If you arrive at 7:00 -which is incredibly early in a city that usually eats around 10p.m.- you get 40% off your bill. So we set off one night in the company of the Remotely's and the Ruineds (Brenton and Shannon of Ruined Adventures who showed up for a few nights) for La Cabrera. After we were seated we learned the real deal. You are seated at 7 and have exactly 1 hour to order, eat, and get the hell out and in exchange you get 40% off the entire bill. We took this as a challenge and ordered a ridiculous amount of food and a bottle of wine. Within an hour we proceeded to eat our way through some of the best steaks I've ever had, delicious (at least according to Luis and Kobus) grilled tripe (stomach lining) and the hundreds of tiny side dishes that come with each meal, washed it down with a great bottle of wine, and walked out an hour later with a $100 bill for 7 people. If you are ever in BA I highly recommend a visit.
The San Telmo Neighborhood
As I said earlier, BA has a variety of neighborhoods with a little something for everyone. Our favorite by far is San Telmo. The guide books describe San Telmo as the artsy bohemian neighborhood, and that is true to a degree, but it is much more than that. San Telmo was originally home to many of the rich in BA, and many wealthy families built huge mansions in the neighborhood. Then in 1871 an epidemic of yellow fever swept through the neighborhood and the wealthy fled to the barrio norte, north of San Telmo. Barrio Norte later became Recoleta and Palermo. The mansions that were left vacated by the exodus of the wealthy were turned into tenement housing and the neighborhood populated with the working class and immigrants. To this day, San Telmo has more of the gritty working class feel to it then the other neighborhoods, but it also has a lot of charm. Walking around there are many beautifully restored mansions as well as lots of mansions crumbling away, some great graffiti and street art, tons of antique stores and small local shops, great restaurants and sidewalk cafes and you can find tango dancing just about any time of day at San Telmo's main plaza, Plaza Dorego. One of the main highlights of San Telmo is the Sunday flea market held every Sunday. Starting at Plaza Dorego you can peruse stands of all manner of antiques, then heading down Calle Defensa the feria continues for block after block of stalls selling all kinds of hand made crafts, leather, clothes, jewelry, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Our favorite thing was to walk and peruse for awhile, then stop and grab a ChoriPan (grilled chorizo on toasted bread with lots of chimichurri sauce) and take in a little tango before walking some more.
One of the things Buenos Aires is probably most famous for is Tango. The tango is a style of dance that came about in Argentina (and some say Uruguay as well) in the late 1800′s. The dance is a blending of styles from a variety of backgrounds including European and African. It came about in the working class neighborhoods where immigrants from all over lived side by side. Originally is was considered very risque and lower class only, but eventually it spread in popularity across all economic classes. Today Argentinians are very proud of the Tango, and one thing for certain is that you can't spend any amount of time in BA without being exposed to Tango. There are Tango dinner theaters for tourists, tango classes, one can go to a Milonga which is a bar that specializes in Tango dancing, or one can simply watch some dancing on the street, as you can almost always find dancers performing for a crowd. We really enjoyed watching the dancing. It seems to me to be fairly complicated in the footwork but the right dancer can make it look very graceful and sexy. We talked a lot about taking some lessons, but Luis only dances when he is drunk and I have two left feet, so we decided to remain spectators. Now that we are gone I think that just maybe I should have spiked Luis' drink and forgotten about my two left feet
Recoletta Cemetery
Going on a tourist outing to a cemetery might sound a bit morbid, but the Recoleta Cemetery really is not to be missed in BA. The cemetery is where the city's rich and famous are buried. Walking through the cemetery is like getting a lesson on the whos who of the history of BA. Many ex presidents as well as Eva "Evita" Peron are buried here. What really makes this cemetery special is that all the burial sites are mausoleums that resemble mini mansions. The cemetery is laid out like a small city with tree lined walkways and park benches breaking up the intersections, and pathways leading off lined with mausoleums. It seemed to us that everybody is trying to outdo their neighbors resulting in huge mini mansions made of marble with large statues decorating the outsides in a variety of architectural styles, laid out in a city grid giving the visitor the impression they really are walking through a city of the dead. Many of the mausoleums are well maintained, while some are crumbling into ruin, with broken windows and rotting doors giving a glimpse of the coffin and bones inside. As we were walking around we saw a cleaning staff going in and out of some of them, dusting and tidying up. I can't say I would want that job. After our visit I found this website that I wish I would have known about. They profile all the people buried in the cemetery, giving a history and accomplishments of the person. It would make for a pretty interesting accompaniment to a visit: http://www.recoletacemetery.com/.
Good Graffiti
BA has some of the best and most graffiti we have seen on this trip. I'm talking about the street art variety of graffiti, where somebody has taken the time to create a piece of art on the side of a building or wall. Walking around San Telmo there is colorful good graffiti everywhere. Graffiti is so prolific in BA a group called graffitimundo has started giving graffiti walking tours around the city. We only have lame excuses why we could never manage to show up at the appointed time for a tour in our entire 3 weeks here, but looking back on it, we really wish we would have.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
El Ateneo is a bookstore chain in Argentina who did something amazing. They renovated a beautiful old theater that mainly used to host Tango shows and keeping almost everything original, including the balconies, ceiling frescos, and sculptures, put a bookstore in it. For book lovers and theater lovers alike, this bookstore is absolutely amazing. There are three levels of books you can peruse under the soft theater lighting. If you find something you like and want to check out, you can grab yourself a seat nestled in one of the balconies and enjoy your book with a view of the whole theater. If the balcony seating is full, the stage has been turned into a little cafe serving great coffee and beautiful views of the theater. We went on a rainy day and ended up spending hours wandering around the books, soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying some coffee.
Great Walking City
Sometimes when all is said and done, our favorite thing to do in places is to walk for hours and see what we can find. BA is great for this. Because of the subway system, all of the neighborhoods are easy to get to and from there you can walk to your hearts content. Some days we literally spent the entire day wondering around on foot without getting bored. There is always something to see. From great graffitti to beautiful old architecture to huge parks and little plazas to great little sidewalk cafes. We would walk until we were tired, stop for a coffee or a beer, then walk some more. Everyday we found something new, and the best part is that it is a cheap way to really get to know a city.
I'm sure I'm forgetting all kinds of things we loved about the city, and as soon as I post this, I will remember all of them. We had a great time here, taking a break from the road, enjoying a little private space, taking advantage of having an oven (I think I baked at least 3 batches of cookies ), and enjoying the sites and sounds of a splendid city. I still hold out hope that one day I will be back, and this time for at least a few months.
