Dear reader, after some months of discussion the Moderators on this forum decided to start a tread to see if the interest to restart the so called AARlander was big or small or nonexistent. After a time and after many responses in the started tread the interest seemed high enough and so we decided to restart the AARlander, now you might wonder what the AARlander is and this is what I will tell you.
The AARlander is a forum project which can involve a variety of people from big to small, many too few. This is a so called ''Newspaper'' for the forum where we review AARs, Mods, interview people sometimes, giving out historical articles and anything in between or something g special if a forum member asks If he/she can do it. This is not only to entertain the forum but to keep the interest in the forums high, though I doubt they will ever fade, but it is also a project for people to collaborate and evolve their writing skills and such.
So the AARlander has been Reborn and I have been put in charge of this project and we now need people to write for us, yes, we need so called forum journalists, yes I just made that name up but if you feel like it, and if you write for the AARlander you can add it to your sign for example ''Writing Journalists to the AARlander'' something that seems flashy.
For those that want to see an old AARlander or the most recent here is the link and I really ask you to click it and think over if you would like to join us. March 2010 issue of AARlander
And now if you have thought it over and would like to join us then sign up here or just PM me (Derahan) and I will see if there is a spot for you. AARlander sign up tread

Back to brewing after a 10 year hiatus. My question, is there a quick and dirty way to get the commercial labels off the bottles I plan to bottle with. In the past I would soak them in hot water in the tub and scrub them off. Is there any additive I can add to the hot water to make this process easier? Vinegar? Ammonia? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I have found that ammonia or bleach work pretty well with hot water. Not at the same time of course.
I soak in really hot water with liquid soap for about 15-20 minutes in the sink, peal the lable off and use a stiff brush or scrub pad for the glue....... then brush the inside. Now the bottles have no lables or sludge on the bottom.
Thanks for the ideas. It always has been my least favorite part of brewing...
Also....... after you use and drink the beer, rinse it quickly to empty the remaining beer out and save it....... that keeps the mold from gowing and is really easy to clean for the next use.
Add some common household ammonia to water and soak your bottles overnight. In the morning you'll find many of the labels have come off already and the rest come off very easily. Its the best method I've found.
I would avoid using soap or else rinse the hell out of them. I can't see how soap would help get the glue off, and if any residue remains, you won't be able to retain a head on your beer. I'd go scrounge up some Corny kegs and then recycle the bottles Janx
Some of those really hard-to-remove labels respond well to a soaking in a solution of washing soda. You will have to wash the bottles after to get rid of the soda, which does not rinse off easily.
I use the dishwasher when sanitizing my bottles. However, first I dunk and shake the bottles around in a sanitizing solution in my bottling bucket, then I put them directly into the dishwasher. Of course don't use any dishwasher soap and run through a normal cycle. It is my belief that the dishwasher gets hot enough to sanitize and kill any unwanted bacteria. When I go to bottle I do it right over the door of the dishwasher, so that any beer that I happen to spill stays right in the door. When it comes time to clean up I just close the dishwasher and all spills dissappear into the dishwasher. I've done it this way since I started and I have yet to have any problems with unsanitized bottles ever.

The Davida Quad Spotlight Bar is stylish with its gloss black and polished chrome finish, and has a contemporary appearance. Its four light heads are angle-adjustable and fully rotational, and can be used for accent lighting, task lighting, or general lighting.
An IP20 Ingress Protection rating signifies no protection against water, so the Davida Quad Spotlight Bar is best-suited to dry indoor areas. It is a Class I fitting with a basic level of insulation, and therefore requires connection to electrical earth during installation.
To create a co-ordinated lighting scheme, other fittings are available from Lyco in the Davida range.
The Eglo Davida Quad Spotlight is provided with 4 x 5W GU10 LED reflector lamps, each emitting 270 lumens of 3000K warm white light with a typical lifespan of 25, 000 hours apiece. These non-dimmable lamps are comparable to halogen in colour temperature.
With LED being a naturally directional light source, LED spotlights spill very little light outside of their beam. They are also greatly suited to illuminating artworks and any organic forms of material, as there is little or no IR heat or UV radiation in their light.
The dimensions of the Davida Quad Spotlight are:

America (AKA America Moore, Amerika, Amerie) is a sexy black starlet, originally from Los Angeles, CA. This sexy little ebony babe entered the porn industry in 2002 around the age of 22. If you check out some of her earlier work, there is no evidence that America wasn't a veteran. She handled herself with the confidence of a seasoned porn babe....

According to a recent poll, out of all the countries in the world, naughty America came in first for the dirtiest girls. Apparently our ladies want dick like flowers want sunlight – they suck down semen and ask for second, third, fourth servings. Not surprising, really, when you look at how much hot tail is walking down our streets. (I'm looking at you, Tempe, Arizona.) These girls dress to be fucked – high heels, short skirts, low-cut tops that squeeze their perky tits into an astonishing display of cleavage. We may have a suffering economy, but we also have the sexiest women.

Rose carats is a beautiful shade and it is all i wanted MAC Prr to be. Although these glosses are cheap, do not underestimate the pigmentation and texture. Frankly, these are better than mac, as they are not sticky and are smoother. The shade i got, is a less frostier and more shimmery version of Prr. It's name sounds odd as there is no rose at all in it. This is highly pigmented and can be used by its own for a ylbb shade. I love to pair this with my HG nude l/s (hug me) and the outcome is gorgeous. I think this is an asia only shade and i will repurchase! :)

I've been trying to avoid buying another core set, but I've gotten tired of using dice to track threat in my three and four person games. I was wondering if there's anyone here who has purchased multiple core sets and maybe has some threat trackers going unused. I'd be willing to pay a few bucks and the shipping cost for them (domestic shipping in the U.S.A. anyway). A few extra counters wouldn't be amiss either.
Extra Threat Trackers?

I now use my router's WEP key for my wi-fi connection password. Is there a way to change it to a text password for when someone comes over who wants to connect their iPad? That WEP key is l-o-n-g! :)

Hopefully your router can be configured to use WPA2 encryption. WEP encryption is VERY easy to hack. |
Pam Google change password on type make and model here and follow along. It is quite easy but each router maker uses their own way to do this. As noted try changing your security, I cannot get WPA2 on mine so I am comfortable with WPA. |

Please please please do not change your LONG safe secure passcode to something like butterfly it is long and made of various characters for a reason!! It is keeping you secure. I personally never change mine I do write it down on a slip of paper and tape it to the router. To get it someone has to be in my house. If you do decide to do this which I warn you highly to be thoughtful of, you must choose a LONG password that is NOT a real word but made up of letters and numbers and characters. that is the 3 first letters of the children another option is to download a very simple little program that lets you type in any phrase and it will translate that into the proper code needed. so you can type in something like |
Thank you, everyone. I've decided to go for safety instead of convenience. I appreciate your time and thoughtful responses. Such a great group. |
Raven I have seen suggestions for passwords in here that would be hard for me to remember and even the sentence. The kids and their ages is a an easy one to remember. When setting a new password for anything I will remember that. |
- Posted by nearandwest (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 12 at 19:24
Keep in mind that there is a difference between the 26-digit hexadecimal secure encryption key and the passphrase. They are 2 entirely different methods of access to a router. I believe the OP was referring to the hexadecimal encryption key. |
My Netgear router has a guest account that I can set a separate password for, so that friends and family can log on without divulging any of my security codes...maybe you have that too? You have to log onto the router with the admin account and enable the guest account first, then set the password. |
Thanks again, everyone. This router is an Embarq 660 Series that my CenturyLink tech gave me when he came to work on my connection several years ago. I don't even know how to get into its settings. On the bottom are a SSID code and a WEP Key# that is a combination of 13 numbers/letters. I should probably leave well enough alone. I sometimes get myself in trouble. :) |
- Posted by nearandwest (My Page) on Wed, Aug 22, 12 at 21:42
Ahhhhh....the Embarq 660 is a modem, not a router. Disregard my previous posts in this thread, as they were for a wireless router. If you go to youtube and type in "Embarq 660 series", you will find several videos that may be helpful for you. |

I have been given a hardy ginger that is a "pass along" and the friend I received it from does not know its name. Its leaves look like the peace lily, the flower starts out a translucent purple color and as the stem grows upward there are numerous yellow smallish flowers. It spreads easily and is blooming even though I was just given the bulb this past fall. I may get "ginger addicted" as this one is really beautiful. Thanks for any help. |

Was the bloom close to the ground or on a stalk in the air above the foliage? What color is the foliage? Do you have it planted in the ground? if so what zone are you in? Is the flower pinecone shaped? |
- Posted by FlowerFloozie (My Page) on Thu, Aug 12, 04 at 13:00
The ginger started blooming about 3 or 4 inches from the ground and the blooming stalk is now about 13 inches from the ground. The pinkish/purple bloom is about 4 inches across. The leaves are a lightish green and it is planted in the ground. It freezes here in Zone 8 (I believe that is our zone..East Texas)but comes back in the spring. I guess "pinecone" would describe the bloom with the yellow bud like flowers opening below the p/p bloom.

Michael Jackson's former British bodyguard has launched a legal bid to prove he's the biological father of the late singer's youngest son.
Martial arts master Matt Fiddes, who provided protection for the King of Pop when he was in the UK, is filing court papers in America to demand the right to see 10-year-old Blanket, whose birth name is Prince Michael Jackson II. Fiddes claims to have given Jackson – who also had two other children, Prince Michael, 15, and 14-year-old Paris – a sperm donation in a London hotel a year before Blanket was born in 2002. He has vowed to provide officials with a DNA sample so they can confirm his paternity claim.

Baked Rigatoni
Baked Rigatoni
This recipe was inspired by a restaurant over on the Oregon coast in Lincoln City called The Italian Rivera. Their food is hand made from three generations of Italians [if my memory serves] and is worth the stop. They even have a piano bar for some late night fun.
In this recipe, I am going to show you two different sauces so that you can please everyone in you household – a modified alfredo and a tomato butter sauce.
Rigatoni pasta
Italian sausage links, cooked and sliced
Feta cheese
Tomato butter sauce or alfredo sauce (sauce recipes to follow)
Preheat your oven to 425°.
Boil the rigatoni according to the packaging – leave firm.
Prepare your alfredo or tomato butter sauce (recipes to follow)
In a mixing boil toss the rigatoni with the sliced Italian sausage, feta cheese and one of the sauces. Put the mixture into a small baking pan and cover with mozzarella and bake until the cheese is melted.
Tomato Butter Sauce
300g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
1 tsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp sugar (fine if you have it)
1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
Pinch of paprika
100ml heavy cream
25g unsalted butter, diced (about ¼ stick)Directions
Cut the tomatoes in halve and put into your food processor. Add the vinegar, sugar, basil, and paprika. Blend in the food processor until smooth. Pass the puree through a sieve into a sauce pan.
Over medium heat, cook for about 5 minutes or until reduced by half. Mix in the cream and simmer for another 2 minutes. Now, over low heat, gradually whisk in the butter one cube at a time. Set the sauce aside.Alfredo Sauce (modified)
¼ cup butter
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup parmesan and mozzarella cheese (50% of each)
In a sauce pan on medium heat, melt the butter, then add the milk and cheese. Stir continuously until well blended, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
2 Responses to "Baked Rigatoni"
Same tomato butter sauce as your salmon dish a ways back? It's a good one, that's for sure!
Jeff said on July 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Yes that was the same tomato butter sauce I made on the salmon. I guess I am going to have to grow a ton of cherry tomatos next year so I don't go broke buying cherry tomatos

Mitsubishi Montero Sport
rogereldredge Posts: 13
rogereldredge Posts: 13I have had a 2000 MS XLS (w/ premium pkg.) for about a month. Any time I drive it very far (more than 20 miles) I notice a strange faint, burning type of smell after I park and get out.
The smell is much fainter than burning motor oil, but does have a very light oil-like smell to it. The odor seems to originate near the back wheels, but it does not smell like burning or hot rubber.
The vehicle has 2,000 miles on it, and the temperature guage is always normal. It's done this since I purchased the vehicle. I have not had the dealer look at it yet.
Any ideas? Anybody have a similar experience? Thanks. -
bagodonuts Posts: 1Just bought a 2000 Montero Sport XLS for a 28,000...used the 0 0 0 option and look forward to an even BIGGER down payment..I was able to get a 7.4 % rate starting 1/2001...not bad. I was able to get 6.9% from my credit union..hope it will last because I can payoff Mitsu in 2001. Anyway, love the truck so far with 19 miles but what is that burning odor? Does anyone know if will last? Also, should the stick that controls the 2L/4H/4L be vibrating so much? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

rlmingo Posts: 8Has anyone leased a 2000 yet? I'm interested in an XLS.
Yah, yah, I know all about the 0/0/2001 deal. I'm not interested in purchasing w/ that. It scares me too much to be so "upside down" on a $30K SUV after one year when the payments kick in. I truly believe there is no such thing as a free lunch!!! My luck it would get stolen the day before my first payment after 11 months and I'd OWE even more money!
I am looking to lease an XLS with or without the leather/sunroof/cd package (preferred package I think it's called).
Anyone out there been wheelin' & dealin'? -
jsp36 Posts: 2Kam,
The dealer is Delaware Mitsubishi on Pennsylvania Ave in Wilmington, DE. I was put in touch with this dealer through autobytel.com which lists Delaware Auto Group as an authorized dealer. The sales rep which handles all internet inquiries is Charles Meehan. So my advice is to log on to autobytel.com and fill out the brief questionaire listing Delaware Mitsubishi as the desired dealer. -
cerritosca1 Posts: 1I HAVE A 97 MS XLS NO PREMIUMPACKAGE AND THINKING OF GIVING UP MY 42M LEASE FOR $400/M & IM NOW ON MY 30TH MONTH. THE MONTEROSPORT IS SIGNIFICANTLY COMFORTABLE AND PERFORMS GREAT. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS A REASONABLE PRICE FOR LEASING 42M OR PURCHASING A MSXLS W/PREMIUM PACKAGE? $$$OVER INVOICE??? THANKYOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION =)
isell_mitsus1 Posts: 23At my dealership a 42 month lease on a 2000 Sport Premium Package XLS would be 387 per month. That is without tax. The only amount due at signing would be your first month's payment.
A 48 month lease on the XLS Premium Pack would be 370+tax per month with 370+tax due at signing.
If you would like more info on the lease terms just let me know. -
angelina26 Posts: 1I just purchased an XLS w/premium package. I have an 18 month old and another on the way. Room for two car seats and another person in the back. Easy to climb in with side steps. Lots of cargo space for kid gear. I recommend leather seats with children--easy to clean! We compared the MS with Pathfinder, Xterra, Trooper, and Passport. Previously owned Jeep Cherokee Sport. The ride is very comfortable and I felt much higher than in the Pathfinder. Not quite as powerful as my old Jeep (4.0L to a 3.0L). I'm very happy with the MS--a great family purchase.
marina0514 Posts: 4Thank you so much for your posting. You have made my mind up for me about what to buy. We were going to go for the Toyota Sienna.... but I am not too crazy about being a mini-van mom.
We have 2 kids and both are still in car seats. (2 and 1) I was hoping that there would still be enough room in the back between the two seat to fit another person.
And I agree about the leather seats.
Thanks again. -

rlegere Posts: 1I just purchased a Montero Sport XLS 4WD with the Premium Package (Great deal 30K plus tax & tag) I took the O/O/0 financing. I have 900 mi. on it. Since the day I drove it off the lot the car would shake above 50 mph. I took it to the dealer and they checked it out and discovered there's a service alert on this problem. I have to take it back to the dealer for a whole day so they can go over the car top to bottom and report what they find to Mitsubishi.
I want to know if anyone else has had this same problem. I really like the car except for this problem. Thanks -
jojanelle Posts: 1Currently in the market for either a 2000 MS XLS or a 1999 big montero(if the deal is right). Need help determining what would be considered a very good deal this late in the year for the 1999 big montero, several postings (throughout the year)mentioned deals anywhere from $500 over to $100 under invoice price.
Considering that there are still 1999's sitting on dealer's lot, how sweet of a deal can I negotiate????(what kind of deal would it take to make it to the "deal of the year" hall of fame list?)
How bad would dealers want to get rid of 1999 stock when year 2000 is just a week away?
I want to see if I can get the best of both worlds by getting a real good deal and still take advantage of the 0/0/0 promo which ends 1/03/00. -
dski Posts: 414I started hearing the new Mitsu commercials today about 0 down and 0 payments until Jan 2001 for a new Mitsu. I currently have a Durango that's 2 years old with 50,000 miles that I'd love to replace.
My delema, do I replace an expensive truck that's only 2 years old. If I go for the Montero Sport it will be the 3rd new vehicle purchase I've made in 3 years. I think this could qualify me as a financial idiot. The purchase of the Durango already qualified me as a decision maker idiot.
What are some of the detials of the 0 down 0 payment deal? I also understand my local dealer is loaded with Sports to sell. I'd be in the market for a loaded version with the bigger engine. Any advice is appreciated.

jdlsll Posts: 1The beauty of the 0/0 is you can beat the upside down syndrome. You will not have any payments or interest for a year, right? So for the first year any payment you do make goes directly to the principal of the loan. Example: You purchase a MS XLS for $28,500. From now until Jan. 2001 you go ahead and make payments of $350 a month, even though no payments are due. When next January 2001 roles around you will have paid $4200 towards the principal (12 x $350). When your loan kicks in you will be paying on $24,300, which puts you right-side up after having the vehicle for a year. Better yet, put the $350 a month into an interest earning account over the next year. In December 2000, take the entire amount you have set aside, with interest, and make a lump-sum payment towards your note. All of your payment will go straight to the principal of the note, nothing being lost to interest to the bank. In other words, your given the opportunity to make your down payment over a years time.
dski Posts: 414Your example sounds great to most but my idea would be to make no payments in 2000. Invest the cash from the Durango's sale and use whatever cash is there after the first year to help my pay off the Mitsu. I finance all my vehicles thru my own line of credit and have them paid off within 12 months.
The attraction of this deal to me is the time advantage on the money from the Durango but if it's in leu of giving up a $1,000 rebate it may not be as attractive as I thought. Althought I understand the local dealer is dealing aggresively.

By the time winter burns out, you're ready to ditch the overcoats and gloves. Those soft, easy corduroys, though? They're harder to part with. Which is why Opening Ceremony teamed up with the folks at Levi's to create a featherweight, spring-appropriate version. "I had this image in my head of all my shoegazer friends from UC Berkeley in the '90s," says Opening Ceremony co-owner Humberto Leon. "They'd go to concerts in fitted tees and vintage cords." He gave these that same matchstick fit but shrank the wales and went all earth-tone with the colors.

"As an American, I am highly offended when I read that I have to speak a foreign language to get a job in my own country. This country is going to crap!"
"Just a word of advice for our 'imported' California Hispanic Rights activists and our 'homegrown' Tucson and South Phoenix La Raza-istas. Don't try burning or desecrating the Bandera (flag) of Mexico, south of the border. It's against Mexican federal law to be disrespectful to a national symbol. The usual jail sentence is 1-3 years (depending on the bribe). In the Mexican prison you would more than likely have a 'Midnight Express' experience, all your very own."
"A reminder to our GOP friends - Mitt's father (George) had his son sent to France (to complete a Mormon mission), rather than to risk him being sent to Vietnam. Reminds me of George H.W. Bush pulling strings to have little Dubya accepted into the National Guard, whereupon he spent most of his time getting drunk, snorting cocaine, and wrecking cars. Not that Newt was any better, since he avoided the draft and never served. At least Ron Paul was a flight surgeon and, at that time, married with two kids."
"Mitt Romney: The left is 'riled' over him, the right is 'mild' over him."
"If you support marijuana prohibition, you support the Mexican drug cartels."
"Thank you Mr. Livdahl for the information you shared Thursday about tax-dodging federal employees. The fact that they routinely get away with what, for the rest of us, would mean the loss of both liberty and property needs pointing out. I don't, however, think that lower ranking members of the military should be held to task for taxes. They are, after all, virtual slaves to whomever is commander-in-chief at the time. They shouldn't have to pay taxes at all."
"All the money thrown into education has not achieved more results to this point; More money will only support teachers' unions."
"How fitting that an article in today's 'other' newspaper regarding bills presented in AZ's State Legislature to revamp unions ended on the same page that the Obituaries started. Unions had there time and place of importance but now they should just be shown to their graves."
"There was a time when the workers that also happen to belong to a union helped to build this country. But now the unions, utilizing these same workers, are destroying this nation. They have burdened American businesses and are trying to burden our governments into bankruptcy."
"Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress, and the American people, that he did not personally know about the gun-walking and the United States Department of Justice tactics in Operation 'Fast & Furious' the day a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed by Mexican drug lords using guns supplied by federal agents."

I've got the Shints
Well, I've got shin splints.
As some of you may know a couple of week backs I declared on this very site I was tired of being a fat ass. I began walking regularly and during my walks I would occasionally jog. As I found myself getting stronger I would increase my jogging time. Two weeks into it, though, the front of my lower legs started to really hurt. On Monday when I walked I couldn't jog at all. The pain really sucked. Being someone who knows less than he should about such things I didn't know what was going on. I talked to some folks and they thought it was Shin Splints. So, I looked it up online. This site explained it best:
Anterior shin splints
Often these occur on both legs. They are seen in circumstances in which an individual is just beginning a running program, excessive downhill running, and engaging in sports requiring rapid starts and stops. These conditions cause damage to the tibialis anterior muscle, resulting in pain.
Yeah, this is absolutely what's going on with me. According to the Web site I should double or tripple the time between workouts. I walked today, Thursday, so I should take off Friday and probably Saturday, resuming things again on Sunday. In the mean time I'll concentrate on free-weights and upper body. Here's some more information on shin splints that's helpful.
In addition to just too much working out this may be related to wearing the wrong shoes. Previously I was walking with a pair of Skechers that most likely are inappropriate for exercise. So I purchased a pair of New Balance 609′s that are pretty comfortable.
That being said, when I did go walking today I saw He Who Is The Real Jogger running in the park again. This time he was wearing, I kid not, dark green cargo pants, a white polo-style shirt and nice shoes, obviously not approrpriate for jogging. This guy is for real.
I'm down to 220. Not sure if I'll make my 210 goal in 4 weeks, but I'm seeing progress and that makes me happy.

Olivos Golf Club
Ruta Panamericana, Km 32,400, Los Polvorines; 011-54/11-4463-1076, olivosgolf.cc. Yardage: 6,705. Par: 72. Architect: Luther H. Koontz, 1928. Greens Fees: $35–$65. T+L Golf Rating: ****1/2
If I could choose only one course to play for the rest of my life, Olivos would merit serious consideration. It's the essence of parkland golf: a lush greensward with graceful, tree-lined doglegs, intricate greens and a wonderful variety of trees. The course has more elbow room and elevation change than the Jockey Club, and the land is used to fine effect. The deservedly famous par-five fifteenth, just 460 yards, rises slightly from the tee, bends to the right and entices long hitters by playing downhill, over a glassy brick-edged pond, to an inviting green. Don't feel doomed when you spot a gentleman in waders standing by, ready if needed to retrieve your ball.
Buenos Aires Golf Club
Mayor Irusta 3777, Bella Vista; 011-54/11-4468-1737, bagolf.com.ar. Yardage: 6,755 (Green/Yellow), 6,754 (Green/Blue), 6,651 (Yellow/Blue). Par: 72. Architect: Robert von Hagge, 1994. Greens Fee: $150. T+L Golf Rating: ****
Often ranked as Argentina's number-one course, this is a daring American-style layout with massive bunkering and mounding. Each of the three nines winds around at least one of two big lakes created during the construction of a highway. The Yellow nine features a short island-green par four, while the Blue's 378-yard second rewards a heroic drive with a fairway that tumbles from the crook of a dogleg down to the green. The club hosted the 2000 World Cup, played on a composite eighteen and won by Tiger Woods and David Duval over the Argentine duo of Angel Cabrera and Eduardo Romero.
Martindale Country Club
Avenido Juan Domingo Perón 2375, Pilar; 011-54/23-2240-6700; Yardage: 6,915. Par: 72. Architects: Diego Caprile and Marcos Capdepont, 1989. Greens Fee: $40. T+L Golf Rating: ****
Despite its classic brick clubhouse, Martindale—the former estate of a wealthy English family—is a relatively modern course. Long, broad fairways lead to enormous, multitiered greens. The opening holes could be almost anywhere—that is, if not for the squawking flocks of tero teros, the stick-legged national birds of Uruguay, Argentina's neighbor to the east. Beginning at number seven, the routing turns into the trees, requiring accuracy over strength, before it ventures out again. As you walk off eighteen, check out the small oak-shaded chapel with ivy-covered walls.
Ranelagh Golf Club, a 1920s-era layout that in true English fashion borders a rail line and begins and ends at a Tudor clubhouse, is worth a visit. It's where De Vicenzo learned the game as a caddie. The modern San Eliseo Country Club unfolds in a series of a long fescue-lined holes. Despite being the centerpiece of a housing development, the course has a pastoral feel.
Buenos Aires' most famous cultural export is the tango, the incomparably sensuous dance believed to have been invented by patrons of bordellos as a way to pass the time. Fittingly, the city will host the World Tango Festival (worldtangofestival.com.ar) October 9–16. Year-round, consistently good shows can be seen at El Viejo Almacén and El Chino.
Given the strong dollar and the city's plethora of boutiques, Buenos Aires is an irresistible town for shopping. At La Curtiembre (la-curtiembre.com.ar), one of many leather-goods stores in the upscale neighborhood of Recoleta, men's jackets sell for just $200 and women's shoulder bags for $100. Bustling arts and crafts fairs in the historic neighborhoods of San Telmo and La Boca attract thousands of shoppers every weekend.
If nothing else, be sure to visit Recoleta Cemetery, a labyrinth of the dead that could be the setting of a Jorge Luis Borges story. Notice the feral cats that slink down the narrow walkways between the stone and marble tombs and the stream of people who pay their respects at the resting place of Eva Perón, Argentina's lightning rod of a first lady.
Centrally located in Recoleta, the newly renovated Four Seasons (fourseasons.com/buenosaires) makes for an excellent and elegant base. For a splurge, book a suite in the attached French-style mansion. If you prefer to be on the cusp of fashion, the year-old Faena Hotel (faenahotelanduniverse.com) on the redeveloped waterfront of Puerto Madero is a stunningly modern conversion of a former grain warehouse.
Thanks to its diverse population, Buenos Aires has no shortage of superb ethnic cuisines, particularly Italian, but it's the aroma of sizzling Argentine beef that's the city's biggest culinary draw. Traditional parrillas, steak houses that grill an assortment of cuts over glowing embers, are everywhere. Try Estilo Campo, a spacious outback-themed place in Puerto Madero. Inevitably, you'll need a night off from red meat, in which case venture to Bar Uriarte, a bistro in enchanting Palermo Soho whose open kitchen turns out inventive fare. •

Police sergeants say no to contract, reject Emanuel's pension plan
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter/ firstname.lastname@example.com March 11, 2013 1:25PM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel. File photo. | Sun-Times files
Updated: April 13, 2013 6:25AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday suffered a serious setback in his effort to find a collaborative solution to the city's pension crisis when Chicago Police sergeants resoundingly rejected a new four-year contract tied to pension reform.
Emanuel had touted the sergeants' deal as a "road map" for other unions to follow but the divide-and-conquer strategy fell flat with the rank-and-file.
By a nearly 7-1 ratio, sergeants rejected a deal that would have given them a 9 percent pay raise over four years in exchange for: raising the retirement age for sergeants to 53; increasing employee pension contributions from 9 to 12 percent by January, 2015; hiking health care contributions for new retirees to 2 percent of annuities; forfeiting cost-of-living adjustments every other year and limited COLA in intervening years to 2.5 percent with simple interest.
City Hall and the sergeants union also had agreed to seek state legislation that would have given the city seven years to "ramp up" funding for police pensions, instead of coughing up another $700 million to stabilize police and fire pension funds in 2016.
Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields applauded rank-and-file sergeants for seeing through what he called Emanuel's political ploy.
In a Feb. 15 letter to sergeants, Shields had urged them to reject the contract on grounds that it unfairly allowed a union with just 1,178 members to "drastically lower the income" of 25,000 active members, retirees and widows served by the police pension fund.
"The sergeants realized that the pension portion of this deal was completely unconstitutional. This was not a deal that benefitted them. It only benefitted Mayor Emanuel," Shields said Monday.
"The mayor needs to stop declaring war on the police and declare war on the bad guys. We've got a major crime problem, and him fighting Chicago Police officers certainly does not help when guys show up to work."
Jim Ade took over the sergeants association after his predecessor pleaded guilty to stealing more than $1 million from the union to fund a lavish lifestyle that, prosecutors contended, included gambling trips, steak dinners and a down payment on a Northwest Side home.
"Our membership didn't want the pension legislation tied to the collective bargaining agreement. Moving the retirement age up ... cutting COLA was a big deal. With a vote like that, there were a lot of things," Ade said Monday.
"As policemen, we're fairly resistant to change. Our membership spoke that they're not comfortable with the change put forward. It was, maybe, just too much too soon for the pension legislation."
Emanuel issued a statement saying he's "disappointed" that rank-and-file sergeants shot down a "landmark" agreement that would have put an "unsustainable" pension system on solid footing for city employees, retirees and taxpayers.
"President Ade and I tried to be honest with taxpayers and employees by finding common ground and a fair compromise that put our city first," the mayor said.
"This agreement was a break from the dishonesty of the past and provided a road map for a fair and honest pension system. Despite today's vote, I intend to move forward with reforming our pension system in order to protect taxpayers and keep our city financially secure."
A top mayoral aide, who asked to remain anonymous, blamed the sergeants' vote on "outside forces"— including but not limited to Shields — who "scared and misinformed" rank-and-file sergeants.
"You have a union that steps out there courageously and they get eviscerated by some and silenced by others. The silence spoke volumes," the Emanuel adviser said.
"We've been asked to sit down at the table to negotiate these issues and reach a deal. That's what we did and this is the result. What incentive is there to sit down and negotiate more? It's not an issue for collective bargaining."
The mayoral confidante said Emanuel will now go it alone in asking the Illinois General Assembly to approve the seven-year phase-in plan to stabilize police and fire pension funds.
"We would have loved to have gone down there together. But, it doesn't mean pension reform won't happen. It has to happen and it will. There's no choice. There is a ticking time bomb in Chicago that's gonna go off and it's gonna be devastating to our city. It's not like this is an option," the Emanuel aide said.
The mayoral confidante flatly rejected the notion that the sergeants' vote was a political defeat for Emanuel.
"You're asking workers to vote against their economic interests and, because they refused, that's a blow to Rahm Emanuel? That doesn't make sense on any level," the source said.
"What it shows is the mayor will sit down with anyone and try to find common ground on behalf of the city. He has a responsibility to the people of Chicago, and he's determined to help the city avoid this economic threat. We will always sit down with interested parties and see if common ground can be found. But at the end of the day, we have no choice but to get real pension reform one way or the other."
Last year, Emanuel blindsided and infuriated union leaders whose collaboration he had promised to seek to solve the pension crisis.
Instead of negotiating first with union leaders in Chicago, he went to Springfield to lower the boom by requesting: a 10-year freeze in cost-of-living increases for retirees; a five-year increase in the retirement age; a five-percent increase in employee contributions and a two-tiered pension system for new and old employees.
Labor leaders accused the mayor of pitting hardworking employees against taxpayers — by portraying a 150 percent increase in property taxes as the only alternative to employee concessions.
In the end, Chicago's pension crisis was put off until the state solves its larger pension problem. There's been no progress on either front.
No matter how City Hall tries to spin it, Monday's vote marks a "very significant setback" for the mayor, according to Civic Federation President Laurence Msall.
"It puts the whole thing back to square one for Mayor Emanuel. How does he balance the city's budget going forward when he knows that Springfield has been slow in its own pension reform and he desperately needs relief — not just for police and fire, but for Chicago teachers, municipal employees and laborers?" Msall said.
"It raises real questions about how the city can meet those growing obligations without some dramatic changes in pension, retiree health care and other employment benefits. The city faces a very difficult financial future to maintain the level of benefits that exist right now. It would require an enormous tax increase."

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a few weeks now and need to speak up!
My husband and I are considering putting in an inground pool sometime either next winter or spring. Of course we've already started doing research/planning and the only point of contention we've come across is opinions on pool depth. I am 5'5" and he is 5'10". I prefer not to have to stand on my tip toes or dog paddle across deep pools because its just way too much work with a drink in my hand. :) HE however wants to be able to dive or jump in (he knows you can't dive head first unless really deep), and he likes the feeling of being completely submersed in water. My argument is that we'll be using our pool more for entertaining and water sports (volleyball, basketball) rather than actual swimming to and fro. Can you please let me know your pool depths? Would you go deeper? Shallower? Any opinions or recommendations either for his argument or mine are appreciated! |

I'd also add that we're planning on something around the size of 17x31 geometric shaped pool, and would want both ends to be equally shallow with the deep spot in the middle (3.5/5.5/3.5) - I just HATE playing volleyball when one team has to be on the deep end, its so unfair! :) |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Fri, Jun 25, 10 at 18:30
We built a 17'x32' "sport pool" which is the depth you stated and we love it. We are in FTW if you want to look at one. The depth and size is perfect for us and we love the modern look. |
Choosing your depth is a very important decision. I am 6'4" and the wife is 5'9". We just assumed we should go deeper since we are taller. Big mistake. We went with a 5'6" foot depth volleyball style, which ended up being 5'9" deep in the middle. We were under the impression that only the middle section would be 5.5 feet deep and the majority would be 5 feet or less. Unfortunately the majority of the pool was 5 feet or deeper. This resulted in 3/4 the pool being too deep for average height people to stand in comfortably. We also had a severe slope from the stairs to the middle. Ended up paying to have gunite crew come back and fill in the pool to make it more useable. Raised the floor so the deepest point was 5 feet. Glad we did this. I suggest being onsite when the shoot the gunite and taking measurements to ensure the depth is as you expect. If it is too deep it is cheap to have them raise the floor when the truck is already there. In my opinion you either have a pool where most people can stand in and hang out, or you have it deep enough to dive. Ours ended up being right in the middle where it was almost un-useable. |
If space and budget permit, a dog leg or L shaped pool can offer both. Scott |

We wanted a pool that wasn't too deep either. We decided on 6 ft at it s deepest point and 3ft in the shallow end. If I were tyo do it over again I would have done the deepend at least 7 1/2 - 8 ft as many of our 2 daughters (13/15 yrs old) friends all like to dive into the pool. But at 6 feet being the deepest, we worry about someone hitting bottom on a dive and try to discourage the diving part of things. but kids will be kids and it can become very dangerous in a hurry. |
- Posted by jenn.in.dfw (My Page) on Sat, Jun 26, 10 at 18:13
Thanks for the feedback so far, I know its a very personal opinion, just unfortunately its personal for two persons who have different opinions! We don't have kids right now - probably not for 2 more years, but in reading a lot of the posts on here (so far I've gone back to mid 2009!) I'm seeing a common theme that kids absolutely LOVE diving and jumping and cannon balls. We plan on living here indefinitely so hopefully this will be the pool our future kids and their friends will play in. We have a HUGE backyard but neither of us really likes the idea of an L-shape pool because we want there to be plenty of grassy area left; I think something around 17x34 rectangle is probably the maximum. Is it possible to do a 4-6-4 in a pool that's only 34 ft long without having ridiculous slopes? |
- Posted by terriolsen (My Page) on Sat, Jun 26, 10 at 21:59
I have a 1970s era 15'x30' free-form sort-of-kidney shaped pool that was 3' deep at the shallow end to 8' in the deep end. Because of its length, that deep end wasn't really deep enough to dive in safely as the rise to the shallow started only about 10' from the pool wall at the deep end. So we took out the diving board several years ago. That made the deep end totally useless. We are now in the midst of remodeling the pool to make it totally user friendly. That deep end is no more! A 6'x12' reef deck will be there instead, about 16" deep with an umbrella sleeve in the center, and the deepest part of the pool will only be 5' deep in the middle. Even still, kids could jump in cannon-ball style in the middle, just can't dive. But when you have small pool, diving's not such a good idea anyway -- better they save that for the pool at their school! |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Sun, Jun 27, 10 at 8:16
4-6-4 in a 34 ft long pool would have a pretty gradual slope. The 6ft middle would be a horrible depth IMO as it is too deep for volleyball and too shallow for anything else. |
We have a lagoon-style pool, that goes from 3.5 to 8 ft. and we love it. We also have a baja shelf, and all areas of the pool are utilized. We have 3 boys, and tons of neighborhood friends, and there is always diving/cannonballs in the deep end, basketball in the shallow end, and loungers on the shelf (usually girls - boys never lounge!). For us, having the 8ft. deep end was a must - kids and adults naturally want to dive into a pool. |
jenn that is a very hard decision. I am 5' 5" and the wife is 5' 2". We wanted an adult social pool, one where we can walk the whole pool with a beverage in hand. Our max depth is 4' 10" - 5" or so depending on the level of the water. The wife has a metal knee (bionic woman) and she prefers to walk in the pool as opposed to swimming. We do more floating and lounging. We love it and even our friends who are much taller than we are also love it and they wished their pools were shallower. We find ours to be perfect even for swimming and for the grand baby. We however do not care for diving and volleyball which takes up too valuable drinking time, if you know what I mean. We do not allow any aggressive play when we have kids over. Look at out pool build at http://www.thathomesite.com/forums/load/pools/msg0718532217198.html?21 Hope this helps |
- Posted by jenn.in.dfw (My Page) on Sun, Jun 27, 10 at 10:18
Thank you so much! I agree that 6' is pretty much a waste of space since its to deep yet not deep enough. Husband just thought it was a "good compromise" because its taller than him. I think he's more adamant that the pool be good for recreational use rather than the occasional cannonball, so I hope I can convince him to go with a shallower play pool. |

"Paradigmdawg", what kind of decking is that around your pool? |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Mon, Jun 28, 10 at 7:05
grumpydave, It is stamped concrete in an Ashlar slate pattern that is a bone color. We love it but wish we had of went just a little darker in color. |
Ours is very similar to Zookeepers except that ours is more geometric. With kids, I knew a diving pool was a necessity. As it turns out, very few adults swim in our pool. Nobody plays volleyball even though we have the capability. I am actually surprised how much my husband and I use the diving board. Your husband will not be able to dive with a sport pool. Jump, yes, but not dive. |
I agree with Jeff. My new pool which will be plastered hopefully by the end of the week, is about 15 x 15. We went 3.5' to 5' and I regret it. If I had it to do over I would have gone 3.5' to 4', maybe 4.5'. The way it is now my wife won't be able to walk the entire pool, and it's not really big enough to swim or dive. And it slopes rapidly. If I were you guys I'd lean toward the shallower depths if it's not a diving pool. I think you'll enjoy it more. |
- Posted by zookeeper93 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 28, 10 at 20:13
Like houseful, though the capacity, we have never played volleyball or basketball. When not doing flips, dives and the like, the kids are all over the big shallow end. I am very glad we have both. We built our pool with kids in mind, as they will be bigger longer than they are smaller. We want the kids and their friends to want to hang out here. With a play pool, I don't think they would be as inclined. They are in the pool right now, with friends, in the rain, (no thunder). Actually I have two pools. I'll go take a pic. |

we really do love playing water volleyball, my husband more so than me actually. last vacation we went on he spent about 90% of the time in the pool playing volleyball. We're both in our late 20s and have quite a few friends who relax in the pool with floats and drinks more so than diving. Here's the proposal I came up with: do a 3-5-4, if he or our future kids want to dive, we have very close family friends nearby who have a diving pool (go figure, we NEVER dive when we're over there, why would we dive in ours?) That way between the two families there is one pool better for games and 1 pool better for diving. Thanks everyone for your help, this board has been amazing! Now I just need to contain myself from getting overly excited while we save up $$. |
jenn - I was in your shoes about a year and a half ago (when I started my planning and saving), so I feel your excitement. I used to go on this site (and others) every single day. As a matter of fact, I still do. We're under construction right now, and expect to be completely finished in about 7-10 days. We went with a 18x37 rectangular pool with a roman end step. We had the same issues you're talking about, and ended up with 20 feet of shallow end (for games, etc.) and the rest is 6 feet deep with a gradual slope. Based on how our pool looks at this point, I believe this is the perfect option for us. Good luck saving, and have fun planning! |

I just happened to check here and I appreciate all your views and opinions. My pool is currently going in. I was mis informed and the pool is not as deep as I thought it was. It is a double roman ended pool 16x38 with the stairs, 10 feet 3.5' on each end and 5.6 in the middle. I didn't want a diving board . I think I am going to be o.k. based on the comments I have read. Thanks |
My parents pool is a 15'x30' oval, 3' deep in shallow end and 5' deep in the deep end. 5' is too deep, in my opinion. My ideal pool would be a rectangle that is 3' on each end, and 4' in the middle. It was never an issue to us that we couldnt dive, my sister and I had friends over all the time, and it really just didnt matter, nobody ever wanted to dive. Playing water volleyball, or water baseball, or water anything though was a pain because of the 5' end. |

I have a lap pool that is 8' wide and 50' long. I am 5'11" and the depth is 4' - 5' - 4'. I do laps and actually skinned my knee while swimming in a pool with 3' ends. |
Of course, the depth is completely based on use and opinion. We have 4'-8' and wouldn't go any shallower. Yes, the kids (we have 3) can't touch the bottom (although it is shallower by the shallow end walls). We jump/dive all the time and having 8" is nice. We made a big enough (24' wide) shallow end that we didn't lose too much shallow end to get our deep end. Any relaxing is done on tubes/floats. Otherwise, people are swimming (my wife and I like to do laps, which is why we needed the center line to be at least 4'), jumping, diving, etc. |

Paradigmdawg I like your Stamped Concrete. I know you said it was Ashlar slate. But do you know if it was Large Ashlar Slate stamp or Royal Ashlar slate etc... I'm looking to do an Ashlar stamp in my yard and there are so many to choose from. |
@ paradigmdawg - love, love, LOVE your pool! Can you tell me who built it? We just moved into a new house and are restricted to a play pool - which bummed me out until I saw yours! |
